I so continue to enjoy your posts, recipes and website. I am always telling someone new to visit your site for great information.
I've found my calling and am working on being a nutrition coach as my second career (while still working on my first career in the meantime). So many people ask me, "Where do I even start?" I've often pondered this, because it is so easy for me as I've been living and eating healthy for a long time (and now 8 month vegetarian - working towards vegan). While I have my own ideas - starting with easy, attainable changes, and working towards bigger changes once one has mastered some easy ones, I thought I would ask you your thoughts. Also, have you ever given any thought to adding a section on the left hand side of your page titled "Where Do I Begin?"
Thanks so much for sharing your family and vacation. We are currently on our first vacation since going plant-based and I am using several of your ideas. I can't thank you enough! I love your blog.
That looks like the perfect vacation! You're lucky to have so many plant eaters among you. We're thinking of a California beach vacation next year. Thanks for all of the wonderful advice!
We always book motel rooms that have a microwave and maybe a fridge. When we take short 2-3 day trips, I take cooked oatmeal for breakfast to heat up,a dinner casserole or two and sandwich fixings. Sometime I may take my small crock pot for oats or baked potatoes. If there's a Whole Foods we get deli food, too and I always check for veg restaurants before we leave.
So far our diet has discouraged us from traveling overseas. Maybe the only option is to take veg only tours but I imagine those are limited. Anyone have thoughts or experiences with that?
I loved all the pictures and the ideas you gave for a successful beach vacation. Vegan vacations take a lot of planning, but once that's done it's really nice to get away. Thanks again!
I love your blog! I had fun reading this. You did an excellent job and seem like such a fun family! I find that eating outside the home (especially with family) is so challenging. Your family all seem pretty health conscious, though, so that helps tremendously!
Love your blog - especially this post. The menu ideas and the travel packing are terrific. In addition we renewed our vows on the 28th in Vegas - 25 years. I always take the Vitamix and now the juicer on vacations with me - just wish there was a way to pack them up when we fly somewhere. Any suggestions? I'd even pay decent money if I could rent for a week at a time.
Thanks again for all your inspiration and practical suggestions.
Wow - lokks great and fun. Thanks so much for sharing.

These big, blowsy flowers are a warm shade we'll call apricot-yellow, but there are tinges of old rose and ivory in evidence as well. They are excellent for cutting. Bring your nose close, and you'll pick up a pleasing light fragrance from 'Apricot Parrot.' Midseason bloom.
Parrot Tulips are so-called for their heavily frilled and scalloped, feathery-edged blooms in bright colors. This group makes stunning cut flowers that are sure to provoke as much admiration now as they did when the Old Masters were painting them. Because the flowers are so full, they like protection from wind.
Tulipa is an enormous genus, consisting of approximately 75 species. Tulips are native to areas including the Middle East and the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. These regions have long cold winters and hot, bone-dry summers, and these are the conditions in which Tulips perennialize (or, in other words, return year after year) most successfully. In North America, it's difficult, if not impossible, to replicate these climactic conditions, and as a result, we recommend that most Tulips are treated as annuals. Plant the bulbs in fall, enjoy their colorful blossoms in spring, and when the flowers subside, remove the plants, including the bulbs, and compost or discard them. The advantages to this ritual are three-fold: You won't spend weeks of spring waiting for second- or third-year Tulips that don't bloom; you won't spend weeks eyeing yellowing and decaying Tulip foliage in your gardens; and you can look forward to the considerable delight of choosing new varieties, colors, and forms each season to refresh your display.
All that said, there are a few Tulips that are more likely to perennialize than others. Species Tulips, sometimes referred to as "botanical Tulips," have smaller, somewhat wilder looking flowers than the hybridized goblet forms, but they are more forgiving of milder climates, and they are known to return for two to three years in a favorable site. Long-stemmed, goblet-shaped Darwin hybrids have been bred to offer multi-year performance, and Fosteriana Tulips generally return for up to three years (and sometimes more) under ideal conditions.
Tips for Good Tulip Culture
In the fall, plant Tulip bulbs in a sunny site with very well-drained soil.
Plant the bulbs at least 6" deep so they stay insulated through the winter but remain cool as temperatures begin to rise in spring. (Bulbs that are kept cool in spring tend to blossom for a longer period.)
Treat most Tulips as annuals. Enjoy the flowers in spring, and when they subside, remove the entire plant, including the bulb, and compost or discard.
Choose Tulip varieties for next spring, and plant them in fall.

WOW WHAT A SHOWSTOPPER
I loved this beautiful multicolor tulip. It was planted in front of my other spring flowering bulbs. It certainly lived up to my expectations. Everyone was amazed and impressed with it's beauty. The strong upright stalks withstood some pretty fierce winds. I am reordering more. Thanks WWF
although the colors were what I wanted the stems were curled and the flower heads were twisted downward rather than standing upright. I had other tulips in the same bed from WFF that grew and bloomed beautifully.
These indispensable bulbs have been enjoyed in gardens around the world for centuries. Tulips today are available in many shapes, sizes, and seasons of bloom and the smart gardener can have Tulips blooming from early spring through May in a multitude of colors. For the best display, avoid the "soldier effect" and plant the bulbs in clusters. Plant large bulbs 5–6″ apart and smaller bulbs 2–3″ apart. Small Species Tulips are ideal for rock gardens and the tall, large-flowered varieties can hold their own anywhere.
Bulb size: 12 cm /species 5-10 cm
Light/Watering: Tulips perform best in full sun in the North and will tolerate very light shade in hotter areas. Unless the season is unnaturally dry, normal rainfall should suffice.
Fertilizer/Soil and pH: Tulip bulbs require a well-drained soil. Sandy soil enriched with organic matter is ideal as is a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. Keep Tulip bulbs cool (below 65°) until ready to plant. Plant in fall at least a month before the ground freezes. Follow directions for planting depth for individual varieties. Many Tulips (the midseason and late-flowering varieties in particular) tend to bloom magnificently the first spring or two after planting and decline thereafter. Species Tulips, Darwin Hybrids, Fosterianas, Greigiis, Kaufmannianas, and WFF Perennial Tulips can put on a stunning display for several years with your help:
Plant at the depth recommended on the plant label (or slightly deeper); we recommend you plant large bulbs 8–10″ deep, smaller bulbs and species Tulips 5–6″ deep.
Remove blooms (on all but the species Tulips) as soon as they fade to prevent the formation of seeds.
Allow the leaves to yellow before removing them.
Fertilize in fall and early spring with any of our fertilizers specifically formulated for bulbs.
Tulips will also perform more reliably if they are not watered during their summer dormancy.
Most early and midseason Tulip varieties are excellent for forcing. Rooting time is from fourteen to sixteen weeks. More information on forcing bulbs may be found on our Web site.
In parts of the country where winters are mild, Tulips may not receive enough natural cold to stimulate proper growth and flowering. We recommend treating these as annuals and replacing them with new bulbs every year. Check with your local USDA Cooperative Extension Service to find out whether any bulbs require prechilling before planting in your area. Place the bulbs in a refrigerator, away from fruits and vegetables (these produce ethylene gas, which can harm the embryonic flowers inside the bulbs). Make sure the bulbs remain dry. The usual prechilling time is ten weeks or longer at 40 to 45°F. Once the bulbs are removed from cold treatment, plant them right away. Bloom occurs about six to eight weeks after planting. Discard the entire plant after bloom.
Please note: An amber gel-like substance called gummosis is sometimes present on Tulip bulbs. It is not harmful and will not affect the bulbs' performance.
Pests/Diseases: Aphids may be a problem, but are easily washed off with a water spray. If you notice spindly stems and white or yellowish mottling or streaking of the foliage suspect a virus and dig up and destroy the bulb.
Companions: Tulips are lovely with other spring bloomers and with each other. Mertensia virginica is a sweet companion and Tulips are perfect planted beneath ground covers like Epimedium or Vinca. Underplant Tulips with Forget-Me-Nots for a classic combination.
Pruning: Direct energy to the Tulip bulb by removing spent blooms and developing seed capsules.
End of Season Care: Wait until Tulip leaves have yellowed completely before cutting them back. Many gardeners consider Tulips to be one of the best bargains in the plant world and treat them as annuals. This method relieves the gardener from having to plant bulbs deeply, not being able to water garden areas where Tulips are planted, deadheading plants, and looking at unattractive foliage for the summer.
Early spring: Fertilize bulbs now with a suitable formulation.
Mid-Spring: Enjoy the show and cut flowers for gorgeous bouquets. Watch for aphids and wash off if present.
Summer: Deadhead Tulip plants to remove developing seed capsules. Do not water Tulip beds, as most varieties prefer to stay dry in summer, and keep beds weeded. Do not remove foliage until it has yellowed completely.
Fall: Plant new bulbs at least a month before the ground freezes and water in. Check pH and adjust to 6.0 to 6.5. Fertilize established plantings now.

ISL 2020-21 | Mid-season report: Top 5 Indian footballers to have impressed so far
The 2020-21 Indian Super League is in full swing and the big shots, mostly foreigners, have taken the tournament by storm. Fortunately, for Indian fans like us, there are quite a few domestic talents that have surprised us all and played on an equal footing with the overseas players.

ISL 2020-21 | Mid-season report: Top 5 foreign investment fails
In spite of several uncertainties in the build-up to the new season of the Indian Super League, the franchises have not shied away from spending big in the transfer market. While some of the investments paid, others haven't, which brings us to our mid-season feature - Top 5 foreign investment fails.

Mauricio Pochettino could be the ideal PSG manager but it all feels like a weird mix
From the moment Paris Saint-Germain appointed Mauricio Pochettino to the moment they walked away with a 1-1 draw against Saint-Etienne since then the air around the club has felt very surreal. Not wrong or right, just surreal although that may be more down to the fact that this just feels weird.

Ralph Hasenhuttl is building an empire at Southampton and he wants nothing stopping them
They may have been £5 million richer but losing Ronald Koeman left the Saints in a lurch as they watched one of the best managers in their modern history sign for Everton. But it was supposed to be fine because of Southampton's history of finding shrewd managerial gems from around the world.
Indian football is overlooking the bigger-picture for domestic pleasures
With the ISL observed as the main launchpad for the senior national team, there's no better place for the rookies to impress than the glamorous league. But, are they getting enough opportunities to prove their potential, or the clubs are too involved in their own business to overlook young blood?
It's time Indian Super League introduced VAR into its system
It's sad that poor refereeing has predominantly been the 'talk of the town' in the ongoing season, with the football ignored. It saw the ISL organise an open communication forum between teams' head coaches, representatives of the AIFF to put forward a number of issues related to match officiating.
There's a mess at Arsenal and they're pointing the vacuum at the wrong man
Sports and Boxing Day go together perfectly hand in hand especially football and Boxing day with that infamous scorecard from 1963 giving people hope. After all, when 66 goals were scored in a single game week, people are bound to hope that something half as exciting happens.
ISL 2020-21 | Studs who stole the show - Week 4
Football action coming thick and fast - what better way to enjoy the last month of 2020, a year which has not been one to savour for many aspects. The ISL is in full swing and there have been some exceptional performances recently, which brings us to this edition of 'Studs who stole the show.'
Merry Christmas to all our readers as we approach the last week of the year - with 2021 knocking at the door. Even though we have a two-day break in the Indian Super League, the past week has been exceptional, with action-packed matches and breath-taking individual performances.
From chaos to being the perfect team in a weird year: Simeone and Atletico Madrid show that time heals all wounds
'Why not dream of winning the La Liga?' For most of the opening thirteen games this season, few believed it because we are, after all, only fifteen games into the season. Then came an expansive, defensive and truly dominant performance against Barcelona and suddenly it had everybody dreaming.


If you are a vendor (or an MSP or some kind of organization that would benefit from being identified or tagged) there is a simply way to handle this. To do this in the easiest way we recommend this process, of course you can modify this to your needs, but this makes for the simplest means that we have found to accommodate the normal needs or an organizational tag.
Let's say that you work for AlpacaVaca, the ultimate Alpacan Vacation consultancy and you want easy representation here on MangoLassi. You have three of your team here in the community: Roger, Maureen and Reginald475. Each has their own accounts, but it is hard to remember exact screen names and to remember who works for or with which vendor. You can always tag the individuals, but that does not meet the needs well.
What we recommend is, on your own email back end, making an email account, likely an alias or distribution group, that includes all of the people in your organization that should be notified that they have been tagged in the community. This might include all, some or none of the people active in the community. It could include other people as well.
Then, use this new email alias or distribution group as the email address for a new MangoLassi account. The account should be, in this example, @alpacavaca. Then, when anyone wants to tag Alpacan Vacations as a company, they can do so with nearly zero effort and instead of tagging an individual who might be on vacation, may switch companies or whatever - they can reliably reach the right group of people at the company who can ensure a proper response.
I hope that this is helpful in improving the utility of the MangoLassi community.

Rational choice theory builds on the idea that actions are rational, when the individual calculates the likely costs and benefits of any action before proceeding to act. Most philosophers suggest only rational beings, who can reason and form self-interested judgments, are capable of being moral agents.

Q: Using Ubuntu 14.04 as router with iptables, clients can't go online. Probably DNS issue, iptables setting needed CORRECTION 3: SOLVED! I needed to add the the official DNS server of my departement's VLAN as DNS to the clients.
I've read through a large number of posts about iptables issues when using Linux as a router, but none could help me with the following:
I am setting up a number of student workstations in our university department, where we have limited IP's in a VLAN. The workstations need to communicate with each other and go online. They explicitly should not be reachable from the internet. Instead of giving each workstation one of the rare IP's in the university VLAN i want to use the following setup:
We have a server which is running Ubuntu 14.04 server with 4 Ethernet ports (i use 2 for this setup).
1st port is em1 and is plugged into a L2-switch together with all the workstations.
2nd port is em2 and is plugged into the university VLAN.
First the problem, then my setup:

*

*I can reach the server via ssh over the web, i can ping 8.8.8.8, www.example.com and other 192.168.99.x clients in the LAN from it, so for that one all works fine.

*The clients can ping each other, also 8.8.8.8, but not www.example.com. That is why i am thinking i need another iptable setting for the DNS. Same in any browser, i can't resolve external websites. In the windows clients, the Network Settings show connection to the internet, in the Linux clients, things like wget and apt-get install work. I have tried manually setting the Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the clients, but to no avail, even though they can ping them. (The solution was to use the official DNS from the VLAN)

CORRECTION: The wget/apt-get stuff seems to work only sometimes.
CORRECTION 2: I had a typo in at least one of the DNS entries for one client, i will try the rest tommorow and then mark this as closed.
Settings etc.:
I have activated forwarding in the kernel by uncommenting
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf.
My /etc/network/interfaces entries for the 2 Ethernet ports look like this:
auto em2
iface em2 inet static
    address x.x.x.x
    netmask x.x.x.x
    network x.x.x.x
    gateway x.x.x.x
    dns-nameservers x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
    dns-search x.example.com
    pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.up.rules
    post-down iptables-save > /etc/network/iptables.up.rules

auto em1
iface em1 inet static
    address 192.168.99.252
    netmask 255.255.255.128
    pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.up.rules
    post-down iptables-save > /etc/network/iptables.up.rules

(The em2 parameters are redacted for privacy reasons, but i don't think they play a role here. Please note we have two internal DNS servers, this might play a role in the problem?)
I also have setup iptables with sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o em2 -j MASQUERADE
so sudo iptables -t nat -L gives me:
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
MASQUERADE  all  --  anywhere             anywhere
MASQUERADE  all  --  anywhere             anywhere

(that second entry must have happened by accident, but shouldn't be concerning, right?)
All the clients have static IP's with the following settings:

*

*IP: 192.168.99.22 or similar

*Subnetmask: 255.255.255.128

*Gateway: 192.168.99.252

The Solution was to add the official DNS entry from my departement's VLAN to the clients DNS entries. The router was not configured to be used as a DNS on it's own and did not redirect DNS requests to the outside DNS.
So for every client:
 - DNS: Official VLAN DNS of outside network

Хайнц Барметтлер Велос (; 21 июля 1987, Цюрих, Швейцария) — доминиканский футболист, защитник. Выступал в сборной Доминиканской Республики.

Клубная карьера
Играть в футбол Хайнц начал в молодёжных командах клубов родного города Цюриха (с 1993-го), а затем — «Грассхоппера» (с 1999-го), с которым в 2005 году подписал первый профессиональный контракт. В 2006-м Барметтлер перешёл в «Цюрих», с ним выиграл чемпионат страны (2007). Сыграв за клуб более 120 матчей, летом 2012 года Хайнц подписал двухлетний контракт с азербайджанским «Интером». Но уже зимой 2013-го стал игроком лихтенштейнского «Вадуца», с которым заключил соглашение на 6 месяцев. Летом 2013 года в качестве свободного агента перешёл в испанский «Вальядолид».

Карьера в сборной
Барметтлер выступал за юношеские (U-17, U-19) и молодёжную (U-21) сборные Швейцарии. Он даже в 2009 году провел один матч в национальной команде этой страны. Но та встреча с норвежцами была товарищеской, и в 2012 году Хайнц воспользовался возможностью принять гражданство Доминиканской Республики. С того времени защитник выступает за её сборную. Принимал участие в розыгрыше Карибского кубка 2012, 2014 и 2016.

Game Description: This is another action-filled flag tag game to try out in P.E. class (thanks to Lauren Venera, who has already submitted some great game ideas)! Start by making 4 coned areas in each corner of the gym. Then create 2 teams (usually yellow and red) since that's what most of the flags for flag football are. Once you have your two teams, split them again and they go in corners diagonal to each other. On the go signal or whistle, players will enter the playing area and try to pull the flag of the opposite team. If a player gets their flag pulled off, they are "out". However, out means they go to the starting area out of the main playing area and perform exercises. Best idea is to have a white board with a list of exercises up and players work their way through the list. Play continues until there is no one of a certain color left. Once the round is over, put up some new exercises, get players to the corners, and start again!

Q: Generate Custom Dimensions names / values from Google Analytics Core Reporting API Using: Universal Analytics (analytics.js)
I'm currently tracking a custom dimension called 'animals' with an index of 3 and values 'pig' and 'cow'. I am trying to set up an application that can match user-input strings to their dimensionXX counterparts. For example, an input of 'animals' would match to 'dimension3'.
In addition, I'd like to be able to determine what values are held within this dimension, or at least output query data with these dimension values attached:

date        | visits | dimension3
'2013-11-1' |   4    |  'pig'
'2013-11-1' |   8    |  'cow'
'2013-11-2' |   7    |  'pig'
'2013-11-2' |   1    |  'cow'
'2013-11-3' |   14   |  'cow'

I am trying to accomplish two things:

*

*Identify that dimension3 is called 'animals'

*Identify what values are in dimension3 ('pig' and 'cow')

gapi.client.analytics.data.ga.get({
  'ids': 'ga:' + profileId,
  'start-date': '2013-11-11',
  'end-date': '2013-11-20',
  'metrics': ???,
  'dimensions': 'ga:dimension3',
}).execute(callbackFunc);

I had considered using filters or segments but both yielded no results. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

A: *

*This is currently not possible through the API. The only solution would be for you to manage this mapping yourself. You could use an array for this. Also, there is a feature request for this so you can upvote it and follow any status changes at https://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=305

*To identify values, what you have is close to correct:

*

*Query for ga:dimension3 and then depending on the scope of the dimension, for a metric you can use ga:pageviews (if custom dimension is scoped to hits and assuming you are sending pageviews after setting the dimension value), ga:visits (session scoped custom dimension), or ga:visitors (user scoped custom dimension).

*Paginate through all results using start-index (if required).

*Once you have all results and you'll need to go through each row and identify all the unique values set for that dimension. You could use a simple for loop and an Object to store the string values. E.g. For each row, check if dimension value is a member of Object, if not then add it.

Note: N-R are original Fort features that have not been reconstructed.
Blockhouses (A, D, E, G & I)
Sentries were on duty 24 hours a day in Blockhouse 1.
Soldiers' Huts (B)
These quarters could house 81 enlisted men. During the winter, 2 men shared a bunk. As time passed, a soldier's salary ($5 a month) and the lack of young ladies at the Fort discouraged enlistments. By 1812, the Fort has 59 soldiers, and each had his own bunk.
Blacksmith Shop (C)
According to the Osage Treaty of 1808, the blacksmith shop was provided by the government to make and repair items for the Osage Nation. Originally, the blacksmith's shop was located outside the military compound.
Officers' Quarters (F)
Officers had apartments of their own in the officers' quarters.
Blockhouse 1 (G)
This blockhouse served as the Army Headquarters/Building where daily duties were administered.
Flag Mast (H)
At its flag mast, Fort Osage flew the "Star Spangled Banner" flag - the only flag with 15 stars and 15 stripes. The soldiers raised the flag every morning at roll call and lowered it just before sundown.
Punishment Post (I)
Discipline, most of it in the form of flogging (abolished spring of 1812) was administered at the "punishment post," near the center of the Parade.
Interpreter's Cabin (J)
The interpreter's cabin housed the man who translated the French, English and Osage languages spoken at the Fort. This building served as the Fort's first Trade House until 1810. (Restroom occupy this building).
Factory (H)
The factory, a 3.5 story trade house, was one of the few operated by the U.S. government without financial loss. In keeping with the old legal term, George Sibley served as the Fort's "Factor," tracking the dollar value of each exchange.
Garden (M)
To supplement their diets, the soldiers were allowed a garden. They planted it just outside the Fort walls.
N-R have not been reconstructed but were parts of the original Fort.
Well (N)
Soldiers dug the 80-foot deep well just inside the Fort walls. Mr. Sibley spent $8.00 on whiskey to "revive the spirits of the men who dug the well" by hand, of course.
Cabins (O)
Pierre Chouteau and Joseph Robidoux were two of the traders who leased buildings at the Fort. The Chouteau family was the first to bring the fur trade to St. Louis and what is now downtown Kansas City. Robidoux established a trading post on the river and that post later became the city of St. Joseph, Missouri.
Assistant Factor's House (P)
The assistant factor's house functioned primarily as a tool shed and stable when not housing the assistant factor, who was an aide to Mr. Sibley.
Hospital/Mess Hall (Q)
The hospital and mess hall were located in the same building. The location of this building is not precisely known. The surgeon's mate, the Fort's fourth officer, lived in an apartment in the building.
Cabins (R)
A row of 35 cabins formed the western wall of the Fort and housed the families of the Fort's soldiers, as well as Mr. Sibley's civilian employees and artificers.

Reggie "Combat Jack" Ossé, A True Hip-Hop Renaissance Man
ByShawn Setaro
Shawn is an Associate Editor at Complex and the writer and reporter of Infamous: The Tekashi 6ix9ine Story, a Complex/Spotify podcast about the controversial rapper.
Shawn is also the former editor-in-chief of Rap Genius and the creator and host of The Cipher, a critically acclaimed hip-hop podcast. He has written about music and culture for Forbes, The Atlantic, Vibe, The Source, GQ, Esquire, The Sondheim Review, and more.
Reggie "Combat Jack" Ossé died on Wednesday morning, just a few months after revealing that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer.
Ossé is best known for his role as the host of the Combat Jack Show, a pioneering hip-hop podcast. The show began in 2010 as an online radio show, before eventually transitioning to a podcast format. Ossé built up a gang of co-hosts, including Aaron "A-King" Howard, Premium Pete, producer Just Blaze, and the internets favorite 'Lo head, Dallas Penn, among others.
After years of revamps and reinventions, the show boiled down to the format fans most remember: Ossé using his lifetime of experience as a music business insider, and as a hip-hop fan who had grown up right alongside the genre, to get stories out of guests that they wouldn't share anywhere else.
Ossé's was one of the first hip-hop podcasts, and arguably the most successful. The show spawned a number of related projects: a TV series on this very website, a satellite radio show, an entire podcast network (the Loud Speakers Network), and an investigative podcast series hosted by Ossé called Mogul: The Life and Death of Chris Lighty.
But Ossé's history goes much further back than podcasting. He started his professional career as an entertainment lawyer, who represented everyone from Dame Dash and Nore to R.A. the Rugged Man (the last of whom once memorably attempted to offer Ossé a very unusual thank-you gift for his services). Ossé moved up quickly, starting his own firm with Ed Woods in 2001. [Woods, tragically, died earlier this week.] But by the mid-2000s, Ossé had burned out on lawyering, and found his "second childhood" in his online alter ego Combat Jack.
He moved from the law to working for MTV. Then, shortly after publishing a book about hip-hop jewelry, Ossé decided that he wanted to share stories from his music biz days. So to maintain anonymity, at least at first, he created the persona "Combat Jack" and began writing, initially on a site run by notorious blogger Byron Crawford, and then on his own site, Daily Mathematics.
After several years, Ossé was offered an online radio show, and his journey as a broadcaster began—a journey that ran, in the early years, side-by-side with a job as Managing Editor at The Source. The Combat Jack Show had nearly everyone in hip-hop as a guest in its run (which, as of this writing, is still ongoing). Jeezy, Common, Pete Rock, Chuck D, LL Cool J, J. Cole, Kool Herc, Jessica Rosenblum—pioneers, business people, rap legends, and up-and-comers alike all paid a visit to Ossé's studio, and his relaxed demeanor and insider's knowledge base drew out countless revelations.

Great Lake Swimmers are a force to be reckoned with - whether that force comes in the form of a gale wind or a pleasant breeze all depends on your taste (or, maybe, lack thereof). Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Tony Dekker will be the first to let on that the band has always been an extension of his personal singer-songwriter project, but you tend to hurry up and forget that when watching them move and smile and make sweet music as a collective onstage.--- It's a whole lot of good made even better.
Though it's blatantly obvious that it's Tony's show and, at the State Room in Salt Lake City Tuesday night, he took plenty of opportunities to stand alone under that single spotlight, but "Everything is Moving So Fast" and "The Chorus in the Underground" just sound better with a fiddle, a stand-up bass and, hmm, a banjo? There was definitely some banjo. Gone were the cricket chirps captured in his early recordings and in their place were layers injected into his songs. The songs still had all the power in the world to squeeze at your heart, but they moved better than they once did or have. Stark beauty can still exist with some of that good, old-fashioned flow, right? It's as natural a progression as it is a good and proper one.
Eh, nobody's complaining. It's an observation if it's anything. It's probably why there were shouts from a few overly anxious Canadians for a double encore; the Great Lake Swimmers exactly deliver on that demand, but they did give us a good 90 minutes or more with an encore tacked onto the end. With a set list that jumped from Lost Channels to the band's debut, this was one of those concerts that ought to have come with a Satisfaction Guaranteed promise. And, for a guy who'd already done two performances before this one—an in-studio at KRCL and another over yonder at Graywhale — that's saying something.
There was talk off stage from Tony himself about the desire to do some kind of church only tour in the future, though it'd be a bit of a scheduling nightmare. If and when that takes place (and the fingers are crossed), the Cathedral of the Madeleine should fit into that pretty nicely. The suggestion has been made, the seed has been planted and we can go about living on hope until it actually formulates.
All Dekked Out: Canada's Great Lake Swimmers ascend, naturally.

Tag: UBS
European banks are interested in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, but they don't believe the currency is likely to become accepted, according to the chairman of UBS.
The head of the Swiss global financial services said that bitcoin's use to banks is limited. This was due to its volatility and lack of control over its supply.
Speaking in Zurich, Axel Weber, chairman of UBS, explained:
"For money to be a generally accepted means of payment, and a means to store value, it is essential that a central bank limits its supply. This isn't the case with bitcoin. This might change one day, if a central bank would issue a digital currency."
He added that the bank doesn't use or trade in bitcoin. However, it's interested in the blockchain.
"We have several pilot projects where we are analysing the potential benefits of this technology."
'Utility Settlement Coin'
UBS is reportedly discussing with other central banks about the possibility of creating a 'utility settlement coin.' Apparently, this would be a collateralised cryptocurrency that banks could use to pay one another or purchase securities.
Expected to launch next year, subject to support from central banks, other financial establishments such as HSBC, Deutsche Bank and Barclays have demonstrated an interest in the project.
Improving Efficiency and Cutting Costs
For many banks, though, cryptocurrencies are a convenient way to do settlements. That's certainly the thinking of Francisco Fernandez, founder and chief executive of Avaloq, which provides cloud-based software and services to banks.
"It is transparent and can enhance settlement efficiency."
Yet, he added that bitcoin is still very new and is used in a speculative way, adding:
"Of course regulation must be addressed to make sure a digital currency is not used for money laundering or other fraudulent activities."
He claims that there is no value 'in prohibiting it from trading.'
'Run for Their Money'
Interestingly, these comments from UBS come at a time when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief said that it would be 'unwise' for banks to dismiss cryptocurrencies.
Speaking at a Bank of England conference at the end of September, Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the IMF, said:
She explained this was because they are 'too volatile, too risky, too energy intensive, and because the underlying technologies are not yet scalable.'
However, she claimed that:
As a result, digital currencies may become a viable alternative for countries that have weak economies. Furthermore, they present an ideal avenue for acceptance rather than taking on the U.S dollar or the British pound.
Lagarde said:
Regulating Cryptocurrencies
The digital currency market has expanded exponentially. So much so, that at the time of publishing, on the 3rd October, it is now worth $143.6 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Yet, the highest recorded value was when it within touching distance of $180 billion at the beginning of September. This was pushed alone by bitcoin's rise to above $5,000 for the first time.
However, it's because of the rapid rise that many are calling for the market to be regulated.
This can be seen by the fact that Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is to monitor bitcoin exchanges from this month.
In a report, this move is being undertaken to ensure the exchanges have the correct internal systems in place. If customer assets aren't protected then on-site inspections will be carried out by the FSA.
An FSA executive said on the decision:
"We pursue both market fostering and regulation enforcement. We aim for sound market development."
The volatility of market prices are of particular concern to a former commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Last month, Bart Chilton said that bitcoin's price changes so much because of two things: it's not like a stock and it's not regulated.
He explained:
"Unlike oil, gold or corn, with digital currencies, there's no "there" there—no physical stuff, or even made-up stuff backed by anyone or anything."
Regarding regulation, he added:
"There's no sure-footed surveillance to ensure trading is taking place in an orderly and appropriate fashion."
However, according to him it's not too late for solutions to be found. He claims that 'visionary leadership is needed,' to stop governments from banning or over-regulating the market.
At the time of publishing, the prices of cryptocurrencies are experiencing a drop in values.
This could be down to the fact that Switzerland's regulator announced it was investigating some ICOs. According to the Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), ICOs are violating the country's laws against 'terrorist financing.'
Bitcoin's price is currently valued at $4,262, a 3.39 percent drop in 24 hours. It does, however, retain a 8.46 percent rise over seven days.
However, industry insiders claim that bitcoin is heading for $6,000 by the end of the year. In a recent report, experts claim that investors should prepare themselves for further volatility.
Thomas Glucksmann, head of APAC business development at Gatecoin, said:
"Throughout the year we've been predicting the bitcoin price will surpass $5,000 and creep closer to $6,000 by year's end. That prediction is looking more in line with market sentiment these days."
In November, the community is expected to see another fork to the network through the creation of SegWit2x. Just like when bitcoin cash was created there may be some volatility as traders weigh the impact.
Ethereum is trading at $290, a 2.67 percent drop over 24 hours. It continues to evade the $300 mark and is currently valued at $27.5 billion.
Of the top 10 cryptocurrencies, the biggest 24-hour can be seen from 9th-placed IOTA. As can be seen from the graph below it saw a drop of nearly 11 percent.

The whole premise on which Abu is based is that of elephant conservation. The largest of land mammals is a keystone species (in other words, one that has a large effect on the ecosystem in which it lives) and an integral part of Africa's web of life.
The great paradox of elephant conservation is that while many African countries are experiencing rapidly declining elephant populations, others – such as Botswana – must cope with burgeoning numbers. Both declining and growing elephant populations present their own challenges, so applied research and adaptive management are essential in their resolution.
The Abu elephant conservation strategy is based on understanding key issues impacting the conservation of southern Africa's elephants through working with local research institutions. Research goals include investigating important aspects of elephant conservation and behaviour. It is hoped that the lessons learned can make a positive contribution to the future survival of elephants across Africa.
The Abu Herd members are eloquent ambassadors for elephant conservation, and several elephants have been reintroduced to the wild, where they continue to provide valuable data to local researchers and conservationists. Several of these elephants have remained in the Abu concession, and cause much delight all round when their wanderings bring them close to camp.

How much chia should I have a day?
You can use chia in many ways, simply add it to breakfast, smoothies, lunch, snacks, bakes or dinner! Check out our recipe section for more chia inspired recipes!
Do chia seeds have to be soaked before eating?
No they do not have to be soaked. See our recipe section for inspiration on how to add this nutrient boosted seed to your diet.
Are your milled chia seeds raw?
Yes, we mill the whole seeds using a cold-milling process so that no heat is generated and no nutrients are lost.
Should chia seeds be washed?
No, chia seeds do not need to be washed.
Are chia seeds gluten free and nut free?
Yes, all of our seeds are gluten-free, nut free and peanut free (our bars contain gluten and nuts but they are manufactured in a different facility).
Is there a difference between black and white chia seeds?
There are two chia seed colours, black and white. There is no nutritional difference between black and white chia seed, the only difference is the colour!
Which is better – whole or milled chia?
Nutritionally, there is no difference between whole and milled chia seeds, the choice is purely a matter of personal preference.
Does chia need to be ground down?
Chia seeds do not need to be ground down for absorption, as chia has a soft shell it is possible to absorb the whole seed.
Where should I store my chia seeds?
We recommend that you store chia seeds in a cool dry place.
Any advice for someone taking chia seed for the first time?
Yes, chia is very high in fibre but it will take your bowel a couple of weeks to get used to extra fibre, so add it in gradually. Start with a half serving and increase gradually from there. You may feel a little more bloated initially as your gut adjusts to the increase in fibre but that will lessen. Keep active and increase your fluid intake, to allow this extra fibre to move along your gut. Aim to drink 1.5- 2L of fluid per day.

As chia is a food, not a supplement there is no evidence to state that it is unsafe for pregnant women or children – we would always, however, recommend that you share any concerns with your doctor.

The long arm of the law tracks down a lone hacker who allegedly used a business email compromise attack to steal $100 million from two U.S. companies.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on March 21 that it is charging a lone individual in connection with a business email compromise scam that resulted in the theft of more than $100 million from a pair of U.S. corporations. The DOJ charges come as new research indicates that business email compromises are an increasingly growing problem.
Charged in the case is 48-year-old Evaldas Rimasauskas of Vilnius, Lithuania. Lithuanian authorities arrested Rimasauskas on a provisional arrest warrant. The DOJ alleges that Rimasauskas conducted his criminal activities from 2013 through 2015 using a BEC scam. With a BEC scam, an attacker uses email to trick a company into paying fraudulent invoices and accounts payable requests.
The DOJ claims that Rimasauskas specifically targeted two unnamed U.S.-based internet companies. The only identifying aspects of the companies are that one is a multinational technology company and the other is a multinational online social media company.
"From half a world away, Evaldas Rimasauskas allegedly targeted multinational internet companies and tricked their agents and employees into wiring over $100 million to overseas bank accounts under his control," acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said in a statement.
To get the victim companies to send him so much money, Rimasauskas allegedly used a scheme that involved the use of forged invoices, contracts and letters that appeared to be from executives of those companies.
In addition, the DOJ alleges that Rimasauskas registered and incorporated a company in Latvia that had the same name as an Asian-based computer hardware manufacturer. Using the fraudulently registered company as a front, Rimasauskas allegedly sent emails to the victim companies, which normally did business with the Asian-based computer hardware manufacturer that he was impersonating.
While the scale of the fraud in the case is perhaps surprising, it is part of a larger, growing trend, according to security firm Proofpoint. On March 23, Proofpoint released new research into the state of BEC that showed that there was a significant increase in such attacks at the end of 2016.
Ryan Kalember, senior vice president of Cybersecurity Strategy at Proofpoint, said this incident is the latest example of just how costly a successful BEC attack can be.
Proofpoint's research found that BEC attacks increased by 45 percent in the last three months of 2016 over the prior three-month period. Proofpoint examined approximately 45,000 attack attempts between July and December 2016, Kalember said.
"We tracked these attacks by examining a sample of BEC messages sent to customers that we detected," he said. "BEC threats look just like normal business email, do not feature malware, are highly targeted and cannot be detected using most traditional techniques."
As to why BEC attacks grew at the end of 2016, Kalember noted simply that criminals will always follow the money. If an attack tactic is working, hackers will continue to pursue it, and Proofpoint's research shows that BEC attacks are not slowing down, he added.
"BEC attacks are unique in that they are highly personalized, very socially engineered and don't feature malware," Kalember said. "Because these attacks do not require expensive malware or advanced techniques, the cybercriminal barrier to entry is low, but the cost to organizations is high."
Aside from human vigilance against fraud, there are several practical technical steps that organizations can take to reduce the risk of a BEC attack. Kalember suggests that organizations reduce the number of inbound messages that target their users via detection technologies and implement email authentication. With email authentication technology, business partners and customers can differentiate legitimate emails from malicious spoofing.
"Employees also need to understand the value of the information they process and become educated on email phishing attack tactics and dangers," Kalember said. "While education will help, there will be human errors, so organizations must also augment their approach with security technologies."


nmnl vs Kira Kira Crate – February 2018 Battle of the Japanese Beauty Boxes!
It was a pretty funny month for the Japanese beauty boxes, as they sent one item that was the same! Repeats are inevitable but I did find it funny. nmnl included a hand cream by Country & Stream, whose sunscreen they sent previously and I loved — but I give this month to Kira Kira Crate, who put together a plethora of cute sheet masks, bath salts, and a cuticle stick I've been using daily.
What did you think of the February nmnl and Kira Kira Crate? Did you have a favorite?
Do you still have the actual boxes? I need to know if they will fit my mailbox – can u help to measure them, or at least advise which one is smaller? Thanks!
Sorry, I don't hang on to the boxes. NMNL is smaller in size but taller in height, whereas Kira Kira is larger but more flat.

Magnus liber organi nebo Magnus Liber celým názvem Magnus liber organi de graduali et antiphonario pro servitio divino je kniha obsahující kolekci polyfonního (vícehlasého) repertoáru, vytvořenou francouzskými skladateli Léoninem (první verze) a Pérotinem (druhá, modernizovaná a zkrácená verze) pro katedrálu Notre Dame v Paříži v období od sklonku 12. do počátku 13. století. Představuje produkci tzv. Notredamské školy coby významného období rozvoje vícehlasu, který byl první fází ars antiqua. V češtině se nezřídka označuje chybným doslovným překladem Velká varhanní kniha. Tento překlad je obsahovým nonsensem, neboť organum v tomto případě nemá s varhanami nic společného, znamená totiž techniku rané formy polyfonie, kterou je dvojhlasý zpěv.

Obsah díla
Magnus liber organi byla vytvořena v době, kdy naprostá většina ostatních záznamů tehdejší doby byla předávána pouze ústní tradicí. Dílo je významné především tím, že reprezentuje počátek moderního výkladu hudební kompozice. Obsahuje 33 mešních melodií a 13 tzv. "hodin". Každá část začíná vánočními tématy a pokračuje náměty v chronologii církevního roku. Všechny zpěvy jsou psány pro dva hlasy ve stylech diskantu a organum. Chorální pasáže jsou psány v jednohlasu, sólové pasáže ve vícehlasu.

Verze díla
Magnus liber byla (jak výše zmíněno) revidována, přepsána a zkrácena, de facto modernizována. Perotin přepsal mnoho částí Léoninových skladeb do jiných forem, Léonin totiž užíval pouze diskantu. Rozdíly mezi verzemi jsou též v pokročilejší rytmice. Přidáním nových rytmických forem předznamenal Perotinus další vývoj hudby. Nesouhlasil navíc zjevně s přílišnou rozvleklostí pasáží beze změn, čímž zdůraznil potřebu průběžného vnitřního vývoje hudební skladby, což je dalším jeho významným přínosem. Formálními příspěvky obou autorů bylo zavedení nopvé skladebné techniky organum purum (Léonin) a zdokonalení techniky diskantu (Pérotin).

Originál díla se nezachoval, naštěstí však existuje v opisech (např. Pluteus - rukopis, uložený ve Florencii).

LinkedIn has appropriately been going a bit mad today with the news that Reed Smith's innovation hub manager and social media nethead Alex Smith is to join iManage RAVN to drive the vision and roadmap for the product from the client and market perspectives. He will be based in the company's London office.
Smith, who spoke at #GlenLegal19 and now wishes he had patented the expression IA before AI, has helped Reed Smith to shape its approach to user-centric innovation across the London Innovation Hub programme.
He is a vocal champion on social media of the #bringbackboring campaign kickstarted by legal industry consultants Janders Dean, which has been critical of the media hype around the use of new technology, in particular AI.
Prior to Reed Smith, Smith worked for 17 years at LexisNexis UK, where he led numerous projects to develop search, big data and artificial intelligence capabilities for the company. One of the very many comments on his new move on LinkedIn comes from Sarah Healey, account director at Thomson Reuters, who said: "Back into the depths of product design…good luck on this next chapter Alex." A few people seem to be referring to Smith as Supremo, which sounds like the sort of nickname we tried to give ourselves at school but which never caught on.
If this stops iManage claiming their over priced enterprise search tool is AI then it will be a great move.
Many similar claims with IDOL at first, they just weren't calling it AI at that time. The ball might be moved forward, but it's hard to gauge how much.
This is more a reflection of the fact that the hype surrounding AI and even worse 'innovation' is being found out. Watch for more Law Firm Heads of Innovation or equivalent to jump ship to vendors as firms realise they have created expensive R&D teams that often clash with the internal IT function, don't impress clients and cant compete with traditional suppliers.
