HSP Podcast #65 Transcription: Narcissists & HSPs
by Kelly | Podcast | 0 comments
This is the transcription of Episode 65: Narcissists & HSPs, with Nikki Eisenhauer. Listen to the audio here.
This transcription has been edited just a bit for clarity.
HSP Podcast: Nikki Eisenhauer is a licensed professional counselor, a chemical dependency counselor, yoga and meditation teacher, writer, and budding comedian. Today we're going to discuss a few things–but mainly narcissists and why HSPs attract narcissists. We're also going to talk about why high sensitivity is often pathologized.
Before we get started, let me tell you a little bit more about Nikki. In her work and experience, she specializes in trauma, grief and loss, addiction, and has come to understand highly sensitive people–what wounds them, what drives them, and how they heal. Her most recent project is called Wise Owl Within, where she offers sensitives and healers support, evolution, and the life that they desire. You can find more at wiseowlwithin.com.
Let's get started. What is it like to be a mental health professional and also a highly sensitive person? I ask because something that comes up over and over through my research of high sensitivity is that so many people say that their therapist has never heard of high sensitivity.
So, for you, as a mental health professional and a counselor and highly sensitive person–How does it all fit together?
Nikki Eisenhauer: I've been the client with some of those therapists [who didn't know about high sensitivity. It's a big part of why what I wanted to be a therapist, because I've had some therapists that I felt really understood me even if they didn't use the term "highly sensitive". I had other therapists that I felt on every level really did not understand what my process was or what I was going through, and they labeled it in a pathologizing way, as a problem.
I've come to love some of my sensitive traits a lot and love it about other people. I think it's some of the most wonderful qualities that we have, but it also takes a lot to manage them.
So as a professional, I think it's a huge asset and gift that I have, because I can feel and sense what someone is going through when they come into my office.
But with the clinical training, it's very tricky, because therapists are trained to find these clinical criteria and really get away from our gut and our own feelings. That way, the client and come in and be themselves and we, the therapist, can be sort of this "blank slate" sounding board to bounce ideas off of. So in a lot of ways, it's been a struggle for me to reconcile those two very opposing positions.
HSP: Is it hard to put away your emotions when you're helping someone? I'm imagining if I was a mental health professional–it would be extremely difficult for me to not and feel bad for people and their problems when they are really hurting and struggling.
NE: Yes. So, my undergrad is in psychology, my master's degree in counseling. Interestingly enough, a counseling education is different than the rest of the public, and different than any other profession, really. Therapists are taught about boundaries. They're talking about self-care. They're taught about how to be in an emotional process with someone and not soak it up like a sponge.
So even before I had the term "highly sensitive person", my education as a therapist helped me to be able to distance myself, to take care of myself, and to separate and figure out, "Okay, what is my own and what is this other person's? Where is that line, and how do I manage that?"
HSP: I think that could help a lot of HSPs. When something painful happens to you–or even when it happens to someone you know–it's so hard to not keep thinking about it and keep feeling bad about it, on and on and on. People always say, "How can I stop obsessing and feeling bad about this thing that happened?"
So, how can a normal person (a non-therapist) put some of those tools into practice that you have learned as a mental health professional–to try to separate our struggles and our pain with other peoples'?
NE: It's a big process. I think the biggest piece is accepting that this is not a light switch that you can flip.
This is a big part of why I felt so called to rebrand myself as more of a mentor to highly sensitive people to share part of my process, because I've gotten this unique experience of being forced to have to practice some of these skills. I've had client after client after client come into my office, session after session after session. It's almost like a muscle–like you would work out a muscle at the gym–I had to work out these muscles of how to separate myself from their process while not burning out.
HSP: It sounds like part of the answer is just practice.
NE: Just like anything. We do need that practice and we have to figure out in our lives how to get that practice.
So a big part of what I do with people is help them reframe some of the difficult situations or the difficult personalities in their life—with their families, neighbors, or in their workplaces–and how to look at it through this lens of, "Wow, this person is an emotional vampire for me. I feel really drained, but instead of this being a negative in my life, how do I step back and look at this as an opportunity to flex and grow these muscles of being more of the observer of what's happening, instead of being in the emotional process of what's happening, so that I don't drain myself." That thought process allows you to have more control, which is really what we're all vying for. Because we have no control about a lot of these personalities showing up in our lives.
HSP: I'd love to talk about narcissists. This is something that I see popping up all the time in relation to highly sensitive people: the idea that HSPs attract narcissists or sociopaths. First, can you define what a narcissist is?
NE: I can, but let me first talk a little bit about personality, because what were what we're talking about as therapists, as a field–we're trying to quantify and qualify personality, which is something that is just an impossible task. We are all multi-dimensional, we're complex, so when I talk about personality, I just want to talk about it with the caveat of: please hear this in a general sense, to kind of soak up some learning and be able to kind of learn more about yourself and other personalities in the world. We all have these different hats—for example, in the bedroom, we have a sort of sexual self that you don't show when you go to the grocery store. It's not that you're two different people, it's just two very different aspects of your personality, and different parts of yourself show up at different times.
One of my beefs with my profession and with how we categorize personality disorders is that it's so finite. The reality is that there are people who fit this narcissistic personality type or this sociopathic antisocial personality type 100%, but there are also tons of people who fit on a continuum. They don't fit 100% of these personality disorder types, but they have a lot of these traits.
In that gray area is where a lot of us–a lot of highly sensitive people–get confused, because it would be very simple for someone to be all good or all bad. As a human beings we want it to be simplified like that. If somebody is all bad, "Wow, that is so clear to me–I don't have to deal with that, let me move away from it."
But that's not how people show up as human beings. They have good and wonderful parts and we can't be manipulated without those good and wonderful parts so we have to really–in my professional opinion–learn how to take people as their whole, but identify these different parts that are hard for us individually. Then we can learn skills to deal with these different parts of personalities that that show up, instead of thinking about a type of person.
"Antisocial" is kind of a funny term. I wish it wasn't the term, because it sounds like someone who is off in the corner and pulling themselves away from society, and that's really not what it is. Sociopathic antisocial personality, by definition, is someone who goes against the norms of the culture. That's what antisocial means. To be social–to be healthy–to be a thriving social society, we need to respect each other. So an anti-social sociopathic personality does not respect the other people in the tribe. So, not every sociopath is a narcissist. Not every narcissist is a sociopath.
So, in in terms of narcissism, there's a lot of charm. There's charisma. There's a lot of grandiosity, there's a lot of big ideas and big visions–they like to take credit at work. If you have been working and someone just kind of takes credit for what you do, that person might have some narcissistic traits. They tend to be very self-serving, and they really lack empathy.
HSP: That sounds very opposite from the trait of high sensitivity.
NE: It is. And it's part of why we can attract them.
So, if there's a big long line of a continuum of personality, I might say that this difficult personality is on one end because they they're not feeling empathy, and on the other end of that spectrum might be highly sensitive people. In an interesting way of opposites attracting, we HSPs might be the opposites for narcissistic personality.
HSP: So why do they attract each other?
NE: Well, with a narcissist–it's all about them. So if they are all-knowing, they don't have to self-reflect. It's kind of a catch-22. It's also why they don't show up in counseling, even if they have a lot of interpersonal issues, because they're not the problem. Everybody else is the problem.
So the reason that they're attracted to us is because highly sensitive people offer what we call "narcissistic supply". A narcissist really craves being perceived well. They, so to speak, take up all the space in the room. They can't see from other perspectives. And a sensitive person has so much empathy that we can give a lot of space to that personality, accidentally.
HSP: Like we accept their behavior more than we should? We're not as critical of it as we should be, or we don't see the harm in it?
NE: Yes. It's part of the human condition that we project what we want or we give away what we want to other people.
I know as a highly sensitive person, for me, I crave understanding. So here comes this narcissist in my life and they're grandiose, and they're taking credit for my work, and they're kind of pushing my buttons, and they don't really seem to care. I start seeing some red flags and things feel icky to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. But because I crave understanding, I would hate it if someone just completely disregarded me and didn't want to listen to what I had to say. So I have a propensity, as a highly sensitive person, to give away a lot of understanding. Because I really crave understanding.
HSP: So you try really hard to understand them—their perspective and what they're going through–whereas they're absolutely not doing that for you.
NE: Yes. So there's this anti-reciprocal relationship that's happening and sensitives can get into this hole of giving and giving and giving, and a narcissist is completely comfortable taking and taking and taking. Do you see how we kind of link together? Like unfortunate puzzle pieces.
HSP: Now this is such a ridiculous HSP thing to say, but there's part of me that feels bad for the narcissist! Because they probably don't know that they're like that, and they don't know the downsides to their behavior.
Does a narcissist ever realize that they're a narcissist, and try to get help for it?
NE: Traditionally, I would say no, because in their mind they're absolutely fine the way they are. Anyone who has a problem with them—well, the other person has the problem. So there's no problem for the narcissist to seek out change for.
HSP: Are there any other ways to spot a narcissist?
NE: You can start to check in with yourself. In the therapeutic process, often what happens is in a family system or in a work system is that the person who shows up for counseling is what we call the identified patient. Now this shocks a lot of people, because the common conception about going to therapy is, "I have a problem and I'm going to therapy to fix it." And the family members–especially if they have some narcissistic traits and it's not their problem, right?–they love that dynamic, because, "hey buddy, you're going to therapy, the problem is you. I've been telling you the problem is you. I'm totally comfortable with you going to therapy, you being the patient, you being the sick one, you being the one with things wrong with you."
But what we see in counseling is that the person that shows up as the identified patient is often the healthiest person. Because they are able to look at themselves and say, "I can improve in some ways" or "I need to grow," or "I need to figure something out about myself." That's such a healthy dynamic.
HSP: Now, I feel better about myself!
NE: Absolutely! It's often the healthiest person who goes to therapy; that is backwards to how we traditionally think about it.
HSP: There's still part of me that can't help but feel bad for narcissists!
NE: Yes, but that's also the part that keeps us in some dysfunctional relationships much longer. Because that's our empathy.
HSP: I'm falling into it already! This is a made-up narcissist I'm imagining in my head, and I already feel bad for them—and it's just a hypothetical!
NE: That's part of what makes it so difficult to disentangle, especially by ourselves. To disconnect–or to pull back our empathy–feels so awful to us as sensitive people. We don't want to–it feels wrong, it feels icky, it might even feel cruel. Being so empathetic is also the thing that makes us so vulnerable to these personalities that do not have empathy for us and will suck us dry and use us.
To manage this dynamic, we have to step back as highly sensitive people and be able to acknowledge, "Wow, I am so participating in allowing other people to use me. And I have to learn how to stop that."
HSP: How do you know when you're being overly empathic? Where's the line for HSPs?
NE: It's a process of really learning about yourself and your own intuition. Because if I could be a little fly on the wall while an HSP and a narcissist were having an interaction, I would bet that there's a little moment where intuition says, "something's off here" for that HSP.
Judith Orloff is a wonderful author that I love. She has a few books out, she's got a wonderful website, and similar to me, but a little different–she's a psychiatrist, I'm a psychotherapist. She's an MD. She talks about going through school and turning off her intuition or her sensitive qualities to be this clinical doctor that she thought she was supposed to be. And I had a similar process. Once you start to work with people again, it's like intuition knocks and says, "no, you need this part to work with people, this is a good part." And that part turns back on again. That's our intuition saying, "I might not have this figured out in this moment, but there's something that I need to pay attention to here."
HSP: I think that's an important lesson. Even personally, in the not-too-distant past, I've tried to become more in-tune to my intuition, or more accepting of it. I ignored it for so long—well, I ignored it forever, because I always thought that I was overreacting, or I was wrong about things, or I was so open to other people's opinions and points of view that I always just assumed that mine might not be right.
It's a new feeling for me to listen to my intuition and value it instead of just thinking, "Oh, you're being silly, you're just overreacting." It's been nice to finally trust my intuition for the first time because it does tell me valuable stuff!
But it's difficult because I always still want to go back to the old way of not trusting it. Maybe because trusting intuition is kind of scary. It's easier to just trust what other people say instead.
NE: And when we're trusting something and we're arguing a point–even if it's internally to ourselves–we really want evidence. That was a huge part of my training that I had to overcome—that it's not okay to trust my intuition. That is so backwards to me and who I am now and in working with people.
If you've noticed you have a pattern of attracting narcissists or sociopaths in your life, managing it better is exactly what you're naming, Kelly. It's coming back to yourself. It's coming back to trusting your intuition. It's repairing a lifetime of millions of messages of, "You're too sensitive, you're overreacting. Why do you think that? That's not real."
HSP: So how do I fix that?
NE: Well, you're working on it already. What you just said is beautiful. It's a slow process. It's back to what we said at the beginning–it's not a light switch. It's not just reading something and learning it in terms of a thought in your head, like a piece of knowledge. It's about learning some of this knowledge and being able to engage yourself in a process of figuring out what that knowledge feels like as a sensitive person. Intuition is often a calm sense, it's that little, "Huh, there's something to that. If I don't have it figured out yet, I can pay attention to that." That's a very calm, centered place to be, versus anxiety, which is kind of scattered.
A big piece of learning how to manage this–and what I coach people through–is figuring out, within themselves, this difference between anxiety and intuition and starting to trust intuition again, so they can walk through their world and not become prey for these personalities that want to have sensitives offer this narcissistic supply.
HSP: Wow, the difference between anxiety and intuition….That is so fascinating to think about because if you'd said that to me a couple years ago, I wouldn't have even understood what you meant. I think one has to be a certain distance along the path of understanding our high sensitivity and self-reflection to even understand what it means to examine the difference between anxiety and intuition, and to understand why that's important.
NE: Yes! And to be able to believe that that's real.
I was raised very conservatively. A lot of that intuitive language, a lot of the high sensitivity language–I got a lot of messages that it's a lot of hooey.
HSP: Yeah, me too.
NE: So it's a lot of shedding all of those preconceived notions that weren't even our notions to begin with. We've just soaked them up like the empathic sponges that we are our whole lives. Wringing that out and soaking up information and knowledge, intuitive insight–that really fits where we are now.
If you are early on in this journey, in this exploration of yourself of high sensitivity, the concept of intuition versus anxiety can be really mind-blowing.
HSP: I totally relate. I also was raised in a conservative family, a conservative community, where it was exactly the same thing. It was all about facts and proof and evidence, not feelings. Feelings were useless. Now, it is weird to try to embrace the other side of that.
NE: It is. And it's scary in confronting either the narcissist or sociopath or anyone with some of these traits that are presenting because we don't have any proof.
HSP: Right. "What if we're wrong, what if, what if, what if…."
NE: Part of the process and part of what I coach people and myself with, is a permission of: "You know what? I might be wrong, but my intuition is waving a red flag." So in a sense, I have to give myself permission to say, "I might be wrong, but I'm gonna back away from this."
HSP: If there's only one thing that someone takes from our discussion maybe that would be it. Even if you don't completely trust your intuition, try to start. Try to start listening a little bit when the red flag is waving, like you said. That might be the first step. Because our intuition is such a valuable thing! HSPs have awesome intuition! That comes from the fact that we observe so much and we process every little thing and the nuances around us, it gives us such an insight into the world around us. And to be ignoring and fighting it is kind of a shame, when you think about.
NE: It is, and especially for women.
There is a fantastic book from the late 80s called the Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I think he was FBI or something like that–he interviewed people who escaped serial killers (who are all sociopaths and narcissists) and what he started figuring out was that all of these people said the same thing. They said, "I knew something bad was going to happen that day. I knew the guy that offered to put my groceries into my car was creepy."
So he pulled back and said. "What in the hell is going on? If everyone had this intuitive sense, why didn't anybody act on it and trust it?"
I'm born and raised in New Orleans–I'm a Southern woman–we have some of those Southern things, you know–a lady doesn't do certain things. You don't upset people, we don't get angry, we're polite at all costs. A lot of that is really rooted in the culture.
A big part of not trusting our intuition is: we're gonna look rude.
HSP: Right. And that's the worst thing. [sarcasm]
NE: Yes. And even when someone was terrified or scared of someone assaulting them, that reigned supreme: "Oh, I better not be rude"!
And the psychological aspect, and where I where I pull from that, is figuring out: what are these belief systems that keep me from trusting my intuition? A lot of it is politeness, a lot of it is judgment about how a woman presents–that I'll be "bitchy" if I assert myself.
It was hard for me to go through school and learn a lot of the basics of this information. I would get angry with my professors and I'd say, "Why isn't this part of what we teach in elementary school and high school? This is information that all of us can benefit from!" It's a huge part of why I'm passionate and trying to shift my career to be more online so I can get this out there for more people and help them take better care of themselves and not apologize for trusting their intuition.
HSP: If someone is listening to this and thinking, "Oh my gosh, I'm in a relationship with a narcissist", or "I know I have a narcissist my life", what would be some tips? Should you just run as far away as you can from a narcissist?
NE: Well, ideally maybe, but because life is complex–we have children, we have bank accounts, we own homes together–it's just not that simple.
I would say get support—absolutely. You need support. These personalities are really good at getting inside of our heads, and if you've been in a relationship–especially a romantic relationship–for years and years, there's just so much there to untangle, to disconnect from, that you need some healthy supports. If you don't have that, figure out where to get it. Find a therapist that understands highly sensitive people and narcissism–not every therapist does. All this fits together is so many puzzle piece ways.
That's part of advocating for yourself as an HSP. It's unfortunate because you shouldn't have to. Every therapist should understand what this is but we're not there yet. Maybe in my lifetime we will be, maybe it's part of the work that you're doing and that I'm doing.
Each person that realizes that they're HSP–I think they're adding to the collective consciousness. They're being an advocate for it. Every time they tell someone that they are a highly sensitive person–we're all growing and figuring it out more and more. But you do need safe people who understand what HSPs are, and how to work with them, and help empower you to make the changes that you need to protect yourself.
HSP: So let's go back a second. Can you clarify the differences between narcissistic and sociopathic traits?
NE: One of the main differences is that, for the most part, a narcissist is not going to be too manipulative. The sociopath is going to be more manipulative. It's because the narcissist is really unaware of their effect on others. They're so self-absorbed that they don't even really pay attention to the fact that their behavior is having an effect on other people. The sociopath will engage you to talk about you; they're more skilled at manipulating.
We all know about serial killers; without that charming part that makes you comfortable at first, they can't get in there to do the harm that they have planned. Now, a serial killer is way far on the extreme–it's as extreme as you can get on the scale–but there are lots of different ways that this shows up in a non-violent way.
One of the differences is that if you make a narcissist or sociopath angry–and by setting boundaries, you very well probably will–the narcissist might lash out at you and bully you, but a sociopath might play the long game. And that's creepy and scary, but something that we need to know and deal with, because if you sense that maybe that's going on, it can feel crazy. We don't want to think that someone is manipulating us on such a grand scale, but it happens day in and day out. So just know that if you're sensing that, it really may be happening. You might not ever be able to put your finger on it, you might never be able to get the evidence that tells you that it's really happening, but consider that your intuition might be the most information and evidence that you need.
HSP: If someone's realizing that they're with one of these people, what a feeling of dread that would be. Like, "oh my god, I've built a life with this person and now I'm realizing that they're a narcissist or sociopath." That's really scary.
NE: It is. But I would say, "you've been living in 'scary' ". You've been living and not being able to figure out what's going on. It's chaotic and you're internalizing and taking blame–because these personalities don't take responsibility. Sensitive people can be so overly responsible that we can accept blame and try to work real hard at it, and we can't make it work. It takes two people to make something work.
So if you are realizing that, and it's freaking you out, try to take a deep breath and know that nothing's changed. Now that you have some awareness about this dynamic, you can start to sort it out. You can get the help that you need–and people do every single day. There's so much help and there's so much information out there for you. If it's not me, there are people around you that will help you, you just have to seek it out and find someone that really resonates with you that you can trust, to help figure this out, and make any changes that you need for your unique situation.
HSP: What a wonderful, comforting way to put that.
You mentioned when we first started emailing that you are a possible budding comedian. Do you want to talk a little bit about that?
NE: Yes, well, I'm a complete silly goose. I have so much fun with my clients. This is a good example of how I work with people, too. I'm a big believer of practicing what I preach, right?
For years I wanted to do improv, I wanted to get on stage. When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a writer for Saturday Night Live. I finally went to an improv group recently and I love and adore them, and what I realize–especially being in HSP who can overthink and overplan and try to control the situation so that I don't feel certain things–improv is a fantastic way to practice all the healthy muscles that HSPs need, because I absolutely cannot overthink an improv skit. It happens right now in the moment. And as uncomfortable and sweaty as that makes me, it's a great tool to get outside of my comfort zone, to be able to flow more, to give myself permission to make mistakes, to look ridiculous and silly, and that's a huge stress reliever for us HSPs. As much as we're feelers, we can spend way too much time in our heads.
HSP: I never thought of that. That would be a great thing, especially for introverts.
NE: Yeah, and I am introverted. I can appear very extroverted but I'm very introverted. That's a great example of how I work, I try not to focus on the actual problem with people, and we come up with solutions like that, about like how to really practice the skills and the emotional muscles. I'm passionate about figuring out how more comedy can show up in my life and my ultimate fear is probably getting on stage and doing a standup set, so I would not be okay with myself if I get to the end of my life and I don't do that, so I'm gonna make myself face that fear.
HSP: So you're high sensation seeking.
NE: I am. I really am.
HSP: I'm also an introvert. So many people associate being introverted with fear of public speaking, and that always bothers me a bit because, first of all–everyone's afraid of it. It's one of the biggest pervasive fears among everyone–public speaking. It's not just an introvert thing. And I actually don't mind public speaking in the right situations if I feel prepared. I actually like talking to groups and speaking in front of people, so it's the same thing with improv. People might think, well that sounds like the last thing but an introvert would never want to do, especially an introverted HSP, but there's still some part of us–for the high sensation seekers–that we crave.
What makes you want to do it?
NE: Well, let's see. I also believe that as HSPs, we can get into this mode of trying to avoid so much, because it's uncomfortable or its draining. And while that makes sense a lot of the time, I do think we have to find whatever our own personal growth edge is, in this capacity, and stretch it. We don't want to bust through or break through, we don't want to snap it, but we do want to–with some gentle mindfulness–push against it and grow and see what can come out of that growth. In terms of the getting on stage, or getting in front of people, I think we have such a deep, feeling part and we want to share that with people.
HSP: Yeah. And it is a rush, like just with anyone, there are things that are exciting and have a rush to it. Just because you're an introvert, or even if you are shy, or you're an HSP, it doesn't mean you don't still get excited by doing exciting things.
NE: Being a highly sensitive person or an empath can get so heavy; it can get so serious. I think of everything through the lens of balancing. Because of that, I think we do need to get outside of our heads, we do need lightness, and I think comedy is such an underrated and undervalued healing modality. It lightens some of these heavy topics so we can process them and manage them.
I also teach grief and loss and I'm probably the most ridiculous grief and loss teacher on the planet because I have fun and silliness. When dealing with grief and loss, I think you need that, that's part of what balances the heaviness of it. So that's where I am at with comedy right now. I'm not all that great.
HSP: I really appreciate you taking the time to talk with me today, Nikki. Let everyone know where they can find you on social media.
NE: My website is wiseowlwithin.com.

Loggerheads shatter nesting record on Georgia coast
Mary Landers @MaryLandersSMN
Loggerhead sea turtles have shattered a nesting record in Georgia this year. By the time the dawn patrols that scour beaches daily had logged Tuesday's numbers, the count was up to 3,405 nests, blowing past the previous season high of 3,289 set in 2016.
And they're not done yet, with nesting that began in late April expected to continue into August. Georgia sea turtle coordinator Mark Dodd, a biologist with the state Department of Natural Resources, previously predicted the final season count could be as high as 4,500.
Loggerheads, which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, are the most common species of sea turtles in Georgia.
Weighing more than 300 pounds, the adult females nest every second or third season near the area where they hatched, emerging at night to dig a nest above the high-water line or up into the dune face. They lay an average of 120 eggs per nest, making about four attempts each in a nesting year. Hatching occurs after about 60 days of incubation, beginning in mid-July and continuing through early October.
On Wassaw Island, volunteers with the Caretta Research Project have recorded 431 loggerhead nests, almost a third more than the previous high of 333. Project director Kris Williams is rethinking her impression that Wassaw's nesting was tapering off.
"Last week we only had 35 nests," she said. "Now we're back to 26 in three nights."
On Tybee, where 18 nests have been recorded so far, it's a good but not record year, said the island's sea turtle coordinator Tammy Smith. Still, the island is well above its long-term average and is beating out its rival, St. Simons, despite the fact that Tybee is the coast's most developed beach.
Tybee encourages a turtle-friendly beach with a "lights out" campaign to keep turtles from becoming disoriented and reminders to beachgoers to knock down sand castles and fill in holes that could be obstacles to nesting turtles.
Even so, one loggerhead managed to get stranded on the beach July 5 after it crawled up near a newly constructed dune near the pier.
"The turtle found its way up into this area but couldn't find its way back to the water," Smith said.
Department of Public Works staffer Daniel Imler spotted the stranded turtle that morning and with the help of co-workers carried it to the water. The turtle had not nested, but made what's called a "false crawl."
Across the coast, hatchlings have begun emerging from their nests. They typically incubate 50-70 days. The website www.seaturtle.org, which tracks nesting numbers and related statistics, indicated that 1,479 hatchlings had emerged by Tuesday.

The role of the immune system is to protect us from foreign invaders, such as bacteria, but today chemicals and manmade substances that are in our food, beauty products, hygiene and cleaning products are fighting and winning the battle. This is because the chemicals suppress our bodies in producing new cells. It is vital that women understand this because, we trust the companies we buy from, but do they really care about us? How is it affecting our family and very young children? You will make your own decision, but its clear that their main concern is selling and earning money and our welfare is really not on their list of priorities.
Its a question of re-educating ourselves, we have to learn to be aware of what we use in our home and what we eat and its contents. Its such a pity that this has to be so, but if we take care we can avoid a lot of illnesses that are clearly bought on by petro-chemicals, and especially hormone balance, this is one of the main culprits and also involves a lot of other symptoms.

So, the body (and face) have finally had enough. They've been begging me to stop playing for a while now and the time has come.
Big defeats, big victories, Cup Finals and three Rugby World Cups. I was obsessed with rugby, I lived for it and was willing to break for it.
What sticks out for me? The sick feeling that consumes you before a big match. The hairs standing up on the back of your neck in pre match talks, guys screaming at each other and the sound of a big collision between two players. The emotions, the atmospheres, the camaraderie between a group of players. All will live long in the memory.
But the most important thing I'll take away from my career, and the thing I'm most grateful for, is the friends I've made whilst being on this journey.
All the success means nothing if you can't celebrate it with your buddies after the match. That first cold beer after you've put in a shift together is the best feeling around. Those memories will stick forever.
May I take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career. It's been a period of my life that has had highs and lows, but that support has always been there. I'm sure in the future there will be tough times, but when I'm done and when I'm missing the game, I can look back on this wonderful period of my life with real pride and affection.

Why one beer brand overhauled its identity just months after launching
Jubel has just secured a listing with Sainsbury's but co-founder Jesse Wilson says it wouldn't have happened had the brand not undertaken a radical redesign just months after launching.
By Lucy Tesseras	 12 Sep 2018 3:09 pm
Finding an untapped opportunity in a market is the dream for all businesses, whether they are a global corporate entity or a fledgling startup. But no matter how unique the idea and how good the product, if the brand's identity doesn't match its core ambition or tell consumers a clear and compelling story it will struggle to grow.
This was a valuable lesson for the founders of Jubel, a flavoured beer brand that is looking to "bridge the gap" between lager and flavoured ciders.
Jubel is based on the Alpine tradition of peach-flavoured beer, which founders Jesse Wilson and Tom Jordan liken to UK drinkers' taste for cider and black, or lager and lime, and its branding initially reflected that, launching with a clear glass Corona-style bottle. But six months after going to market Wilson and Jordan took a step back and realised they had missed the mark with their brand.
"We realised we hadn't got our category positioning right. We're not competing with Corona or Sol, that's not the category we're in. We're in the craft and speciality category where there are certain category codes like dark bottles," Wilson tells Marketing Week.
"If you look at the shelves in a supermarket there are clear differences – multipacks with heavily discounted prices versus premium bottles at premium prices. We realised we were in the second category but we looked like we should be in the first."
The brand's ambition of cutting through the beer and cider categories was also not communicated on pack. "It didn't tip its hat at all to what we were looking to do as a brand," he adds.
And so the business owners stood back and asked themselves: "How do we live our brand ambition through our brand identity, how does that translate on pack and how can we do that in a way that is authentic to who we are but also accessible to the mass market?"
A radical redesign followed. The product is now packaged in a brown glass bottle and the label clearly nods to the fact it is trying to differentiate in the beer and cider categories, using the wording 'beer cut with peach' and 'beer cut with elderflower' – its recently added second variety – alongside visual cues to illustrate the cut-through aspect.
The rebrand has paid off as the brand has just secured a listing with Sainsbury's and will be in-store from mid-November, but Wilson says it might not have happened had they stuck with the original brand identity.
Sainsbury's told us they probably wouldn't have listed the old product because it didn't really fit within the category.
Jesse Wilson, Jubel
"Sainsbury's came to us as they'd read an article about how the brand was positioned between two categories as it strategically aligned with its ambitions to carve out new categories and be a point of difference for its shoppers," he recalls.
"The rebrand was a massive thing for Sainsbury's though. They told us they probably wouldn't have listed the old product because it didn't really fit within the category, so the redesign was a huge step change for us in terms of looking like we belong in that space."

Wilson and Jordan came up with the idea for Jubel on a ski trip during their third year at university. "We noticed everyone drank peach-flavoured beer out there: guys and girls, young 20-somethings and people our parents' age. Brands are often so focused on honing in on a target consumer that they pigeon hole their product to one age, one gender, and we thought this just has such broad appeal."
"We came back to the UK and couldn't find anything like it – it has the refreshment of a cider but it's as 'sessionable' as a lager. We found beer a bit too boring and bland and fruit cider too sweet, so you could drink one slowly over ice but that was it. This really ticked the box as a bridge-the-gap type product."
They both had full time jobs at the time – Wilson was on the Mars Management Development Programme, working on Maltesers as a brand manager – but they began learning how to brew beer on the side and spent two years refining the product on weekends.
"We got to the point where we said, why don't we brew 5,000 bottles for a music festival. If people buy these and we sell out then surely there is enough of a market to warrant doing it full time. We basically said, if we sell out we'll quit our jobs."
He describes it as an "Innocent-style commitment", referring to the fact the founders of the smoothie company first tested their product at a festival and asked tasters to throw their empties into a 'yes' or 'no' bin in response to the question 'Should we give up our jobs to make these smoothies?'.
"We went on the Thursday, came back on the Monday and handed our notices in on Tuesday."
The brand is now distributed in the St Austell and Fuller's pub estates, Selfridges, Amazon, the Stable Pizza chain and more than 300 independent on-trade outlets.
Benefiting from the craft beer trend
Despite being a lager, Wilson says Jubel is "quite different" and doesn't conform to a specific style.
"On the positive side that creates curiosity because people want to know what it's like, but it doesn't actually drive that many people to trial because people are quite comfortable having what they've always had, so sampling is the best marketing tool for us to get people into the brand."
Wilson and Jordan have handed out more than 30,000 samples at festivals, events, pubs and bars, as well as in-store at Selfridges, which has been hugely important in driving sales.
"We were the top selling beer in our first month [at Selfridges] so sampling has really helped. Getting liquid to lips is so important," he says.
Consumers' interest in craft beer has also been a massive driving force for the brand.

"What craft has done really well is open up people's mindsets to what beer could be. It has expanded people's sense of possibility. But craft has now become a homogenous thing in itself," he says.
"People are looking for more flavour, care, quality and provenance and even though our product doesn't conform to that modern day craft definition it still conforms to what sparked the movement to craft in the first place and it's that original style."

Catch up with a few summer updates from Meg Oslund, SAC alumni engagement chair.
There are several ways our SAC alumni can stay involved with Illinois State University.
Illinois State University's Sibling Weekend 2014 had something for everyone—the Gamma Phi Circus, a carnival, movie night, and much more.


Back in 2010, BlueFocus was the only Chinese PR company to be publicly listed in the country. That was also a watershed moment that fueled CEO Zhao's determination to grow the firm beyond public relations into what is now.
It has been a good year for We Are Social, with global revenue up by 26%.


KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo today reports that Apple will release 'high-end over-ear' headphones in late fall 'at the earliest'. Apparently featuring an all new design, it sounds like this is not a successor to the Beats Studio 3, but it will be Apple's AirPods equivalent for premium over-ear headphones.
The analyst also corroborates the release of upgraded AirPods with a new case to support wireless charging and an improved W1 chip.
Last week, Bloomberg reported that new AirPods were in development. The 'AirPods 2' were reported to feature integrated 'Hey Siri' support, enabling faster activation of voice controls when using the AirPods earbuds.
Apple has already announced plans to release a new wireless charging AirPods Case as a standalone separately, which will support the upcoming AirPower mat. KGI confirms speculation that the new AirPods would be bundled with the wireless charging case as standard.
Ming-Chi Kuo says the new case will have a redesigned hinge that is more expensive to manufacture, apparently to accommodate wireless charging.
The addition of over-ear headphones to Apple's lineup would flesh out Apple's range of audio options, with AirPods optimized for size convenience, HomePod for high-quality home audio and the new over-ear headphones for high-quality sound on the go.
Due to the differences in form factor, the Beats Studio 3 boast better sound, longer battery life, and noise-cancelling features that the AirPods earbuds simply cannot provide.
Exact features of the Apple headphones are not detailed in today's KGI report but it would be sensible to expect the best bits of the Beats line to transfer over.

Cathedrals "Cathedrals Family Reunion" Album Review

Anyone with a stash of cash can leave an inheritance. And such an inheritance squandered in the hands of the infidels will be interred with the deceased's bones in time. But not everyone can leave a legacy. A legacy demands time, energy and faith invested in the lives of others. And it is only through prayer and God's grace that such a legacy thrives and bears fruits for the generations to come. The Cathedrals is one of those Southern Gospel groups that have invested not only in nurturing their own success but that of others. Though if one were to measure their success based on their awards received, they are peerless. Over their entire career span of thirty six years, they have garnered a staggering 83 Singing News fan awards, inducted into the Gospel Hall of fame and they have received 14 Dove Awards. However, their true legacy is not just wrapped in plaques and miniature monuments they have had received. Rather, the Cathedrals have birthed a whole ménage of quartets and groups to take on the Gospel of Jesus Christ to generations to come. Extant groups such as Greater Vision, Heartland Quartet, Legacy 5, Mark Trammell Quartet, Mercy's Way, Perfect Heart and Ernie Haase and Signature Sound all have had members associated with the Cathedrals.
Started off as a trio of Bobby Clark, Glen Payne and Danny Koder, the Cathedrals had their beginnings as an outgrowth of the preaching ministry of Earl and Lily Weatherford at Rex Humbard's Cathedral of Tomorrow. When Earl and Lily Weatherford decided to move to California that year, Payne, Clark, and Koker decided to stay with the Cathedral of Tomorrow, and the Cathedral Trio was born. In 1964, they added bass George Younce and became a quartet. For the first several years of their existence, they performed and travelled with evangelist Rex Humbard, the pastor of the Cathedral for Tomorrow. For years with the frequent turnover of group members and the incessant struggle for radio airplay, the Cathedrals struggled to survive. Things only started to pick up in the late 1970s when Bill Gaither started introducing the Cathedrals to a contemporary audience through his PraiseGathering events. Later the Cathedrals went on to have countless hits and albums being released over the years. However, ill health has deterred the group that by 1999 after a much celebrated farewell tour and an ensuing video they call it quits.
Though the Cathedrals may have officially retired, this doesn't mean that it's the end of their music making days. Families may separate but blest is always the tie that binds. To coincide with their 2-day "Cathedral Family Reunion" concert, alumni members - Ernie Haase, Danny Funderburk, Gerald Wolfe, Marrk Trammell and Scott Fowler-have come together to re-recorded some of the Cathedrals biggest hits with one new song added in as a bonus. So, let's get to the new song first: "We'll Work," written by Ernie Haase, Wayne Haun and Joel Lindsey calls to mind the Cathedrals' "Boundless Joy." A befitting anthem about never retiring from the Lord's work until He returns "We'll Work" features their patented harmonies with some delightful banjo licks to boot. The rest of the songs have very much kept to the original arrangements. But thanks to modern technologies, the voices of some of the group's deceased members were brought in to sing with the current lineup. One of the album's most touching moments is to hear George Younce and Glen Payne's voices one last time on the beautifully orchestrated hymn "Search Me, O God."
With an album like this, the track list is bound to leave out favorites of fans. With the exception of "Oh What a Savior," "Yesterday" and "Search Me, O God," the bulk of these 12 songs are songs lifted from the Cathedrals' heydays in the 80s and the 90s. Yet, a listen again to some of these songs soberly reminds us why the Cathedrals have been such favorites over the last fifty years or so. While many artists sing about transient themes, the Cathedrals never strayed from singing about the pillars of the Gospel ("He Made a Change"), the joy of heaven ("We Shall Be Caught Up") and the eternal love of Jesus Christ ("Wedding Music"). And nothing sums up more the group's mandate than the words from their signature tune "Bloodwashed Band:" "We're a band of Christian soldiers fighting Satan everyday/We're standing up for Jesus while we're kneeling down to pray/If His precious blood has cleansed you and washed away your sin/That makes you a member of the blood washed band."

Q: How do I make my ArrayAdapter (For AutocompleteTextview) return all results with substring provided I'm trying to get my AutocompleteTextview to return all results containing the sub-string provided, however it only returns the results that START with the sub-string provided.
The current result set is
0:  "CMPN0004:Gigrig"
1:  "CMPN0002:NYDA"
2:  "CMPN0003:TEST"

and it correctly performs the autocomplete if I type "CMP", however it does not provide any results if I type "TEST" or "Gigrig"
final AutoCompleteTextView campaignTxt = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.CampaignTxt);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(TripAddActivity.this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, campaigns);

A: You need to override getFilter, as described here:

You are having problem, mainly because you are using custom object. If
  you pass a String or int value to array adapter its know how to filter
  it. But if you pass custom object default filter implementation have
  to no idea how to deal with that.
Although it is not clear what you are trying to do in your filter i
  recommend you following steps.

*

*Proper implementation of ListTO, although it has nothing to do with your goal right now

*Implement custom filter

*return your filter

  Implement custom filter
First thing you have to do is, implements Filterable from your
  array adapter.
Second, provide implementation of your Filter
Filter myFilter = new Filter() {
        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
           FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
           ArrayList<ListTO> tempList=new ArrayList<ListTO>();
           //constraint is the result from text you want to filter against.
           //objects is your data set you will filter from
           if(constraint != null && objects!=null) {
               int length=objects.size();
               int i=0;
                while(i<length){
                  ListTO item=objects.get(i);
                      //do whatever you wanna do here
                  //adding result set output array

                      tempList.add(item);

                      i++;
                }
                //following two lines is very important
                //as publish result can only take FilterResults objects
                filterResults.values = tempList;
                filterResults.count = tempList.size();
          }
          return filterResults;
      }

      @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
      @Override
      protected void publishResults(CharSequence contraint, FilterResults results) {
        objects = (ArrayList<ListTO>) results.values;
          if (results.count > 0) {
             notifyDataSetChanged();
          } else {
              notifyDataSetInvalidated();
          }
      }
   };

Last step,
@Override
   public Filter getFilter() {
      return myFilter;
  }

CONCORD Sweden is a joint platform of 38 Swedish NGOs with the task of monitoring and influencing the EU development policy. In the light of the beginning Swedish EU Presidency the network outlines the development program for the second half of 2009.
According to Concord Sweden trade agreements should meet the requirements as laid down in the document EU Policy Coherence for Development. Negotiations should be flexible enough to allow developing countries to protect local food production and small-scale farmers. Furthermore regulations for foreign investments should consider human rights demands and the need of the poor. Also, Europe should take stringent measures to fight capital flight and tax havens.
Sweden should use its good reputation in the development aid context to convince member states to uphold their pledges of increased aid budgets and better quality. Aid should be demand-driven and owned by national governments with broad participation of parliaments, civil society and the media. Furthermore the network demands better coordinated, un-tied, climate-proofed and sustainable aid with a stronger emphasis on rural development and agriculture. Special attention should also be given to the rights of children including issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Sweden should lead the way in bringing a just and development-friendly climate agreement that greatly reduces greenhouse gases and secures resources for the development of poor countries. Additional to the aid budgets European member states should take concrete steps to finance climate adaptation, support technology transfer to developing countries and take measures for forest protection. Also, they should commit themselves to reduce their emissions to at least 40% by 2020.
Sweden stands for a rights-based approach in development cooperation and should therefore pursue the integration of human rights into all policy areas. Besides the support for democratization Concord Sweden demands a holistic human rights perspective, including economic, social and cultural, civil and political rights.
In a Calender on their website Concord Sweden lists information about seminars, events and meetings during the Swedish EU Presidency 2009, organised by CONCORD Sweden and its member organisations.

DYING STAR, OR SERIOUS ELECTRICAL FAULT?
October 27th, 1999 Wal Thornhill EU Views
Comment on NASA News of October 24, 1999.
"The object shown in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a remarkable example of a star going through death throes just as it dramatically transforms itself from a normal red giant star into a planetary nebula. This process happens so quickly that such objects are quite rare, even though astronomers believe that most stars like the Sun will eventually go through such a phase."
How can astronomers expect us to accept that this object is a dying star and predict the future of our Sun when it is reported later that the object poses "a serious challenge to astrophysical theorists"? Red giant stars themselves are not well understood.
The star is jetting gas and dust in two opposite directions at speeds up to 450,000 mph (700,000 km/h). This odd behaviour requires a total about face from the usual notion that the gravity of a star draws matter toward it. The speeding matter forms thin streamers on the right and a jet-like structure on the left. On the right, wisps of material in the jets appear to strike some dense blobs of gas.
"These Hubble Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer data pose a serious challenge to astrophysical theorists: How can a star generate such tightly collimated streams of gas and dust and accelerate them to such very high velocities?"
Ask the plasma physicists and electrical engineers! For decades some have been publishing details of how such features are formed. Electrical current naturally flows through space in "thin streamers". It can accelerate matter over vast distances and form high velocity jets. It can light up "blobs" of gas far from any star. The late Dr. Charles Bruce of the Electrical Research Association in England and Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society identified planetary nebulae as catastrophic stellar electric discharges as long ago as the 1960's. His insight has been ignored.
The news report continues:
"William B. Latter from the California Institute of Technology and his group are using these data to obtain a better understanding of the detailed structure in the outflowing material, look for evidence for the origin of the thin streamers and jets, and learn more about the star itself. This information will give astronomers a more complete understanding of the final stages in the lives of stars like our Sun."
On the contrary, experts demonstrate little grasp of how our own Sun works so any attempt at "a more complete understanding" of the fate of our Sun by looking at other stars will be faulty. And until the electrical engineers are called in there will be no fix for the fault.
At present we restrict ourselves to a simplistic century old model of stars as isolated balls of gas heated internally. However, we live in an ELECTRIC UNIVERSE® so challenges to that model will prove increasingly serious, and in the end – fatal. It is the old model, not the star, that is dying.

PAUL MILLER guest DJ on Outbreak this week!
by Johnny » Wed Jun 18, 2008 1:52 pm
Tune in to outbreak this friday at 11 pm for a special guest mix by DJ Paul Miller!
Paul Miller His true name is Pawel Meller. He was born on 12 march 1985 in Thorn, where he lives today. Paul Miller is an artist already known on worldwide dance music market. Thanks to cooperation with such artists like Manuel Le Saux (single "Sunny Day" and EnTrance 2008 anthem), Aly & Fila (massive support, tracks "Galaxy" and "Memories Of Love" in their label, Offshore, coming up in 2008), Jon O'Bir ("Crystal Source" release in Conspiracy), John Askew (a start of cooperation with Discover Records) Paul entered a circle of top dj's/producers.
A look into past... First success came with single "Jaarbeurs" (produced with Ronald De Foe), released in 2006, which gained a massive support from many known dj's. A turn of events in 2007 were a proof that Paul can stand in one line with the best. Support from stars like Paul Van Dyk ("O.T."), Armin Van Buuren ("Crystal Source" in ASOT 313, "Memories Of Love" in ASOT 326, Dimitri Fedorov - "Falling Of Stars" in Pauls remix in ASOT 334 & 335), Ferry Corsten (massive support for "Crystal Source" and for Pauls remix of Dimitri Fedorov's track "Falling Of Stars"), Jose Amnesia ("O.T." on Sunrise Festival 2007), Aly & Fila, John O'Callaghan, John Askew, Jon O'Bir, Bobina, Sebastian Brandt, Kamil Polner, Manuel Le Saux, DJ Choose, Airbase, Tom Colontonio, Markus Schossow, was a part of his dreams which came true, and gave him a possibility of making remixes for the best (eg. Alex Bartlett)... Year 2007 is a reson to be proud because of Pauls first vinyl release, which is still a proof of quality - single "Sunny Day" has been created in cooperation with Manuel Le Saux, filled with a list of massive remixes and released in Drizzly Records. Pauls successes made also another of his dreams a reality.
At the end of 2007 Paul has been signed to his beloved label group - Recoverworld. From now on he started to deal with propably the best team in the current trance music industry. He joined fantastic crew: Sean Tyas, John O'Callaghan, Bryan Kearney, Tom Colontonio (to name a few)... Just to say, that Paul has signed a great number of tracks to such famous labels like: Discover, Flux Delux and Eve Records. First pressing of EP "Eve Gaze/Renovatio" vinyl, released in Eve Records, have been sold in one week - can you imagine a better start? It is sure that it is worth to wait for further releases from this young artist.
Beginning and successes of 2008 gave an opportunity for Paul to play on the best parties and events: EnTrance in March 2008 (Paul also prepared an Anthem for this event with Manuel Le Saux) and Global Gathering Poland in summer 2008... Also look for Paul in your local clubs all around the Poland and Europe - maybe he is playing there this weekend?

 * SECTION:gsocketservice
 * @title: GSocketService
 * @short_description: Make it easy to implement a network service
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * @see_also: #GThreadedSocketService, #GSocketListener.
 *
 * A #GSocketService is an object that represents a service that
 * is provided to the network or over local sockets.  When a new
 * connection is made to the service the #GSocketService::incoming
 * signal is emitted.
 *
 * A #GSocketService is a subclass of #GSocketListener and you need
 * to add the addresses you want to accept connections on with the
 * #GSocketListener APIs.
 *
 * There are two options for implementing a network service based on
 * #GSocketService. The first is to create the service using
 * g_socket_service_new() and to connect to the #GSocketService::incoming
 * signal. The second is to subclass #GSocketService and override the
 * default signal handler implementation.
 *
 * In either case, the handler must immediately return, or else it
 * will block additional incoming connections from being serviced.
 * If you are interested in writing connection handlers that contain
 * blocking code then see #GThreadedSocketService.
 *
 * The socket service runs on the main loop of the
 * [thread-default context][g-main-context-push-thread-default-context]
 * of the thread it is created in, and is not
 * threadsafe in general. However, the calls to start and stop the
 * service are thread-safe so these can be used from threads that
 * handle incoming clients.

Creative midfielder Alan Dzagoev and Villarreal winger Denis Cheryshev have been confirmed in Russia's final 23-man squad for its home World Cup.
Daesh (ISIS) claimed responsibility for an attack on a church in Russia's Chechnya republic that killed three people, the group's Amaq news agency said Sunday.
Russia's mostly Muslim republic of Chechnya is becoming a major player in rebuilding war-ravaged Syria.
Six Russian soldiers were killed in Chechnya Friday when gunmen tried to storm their base in an attack claimed by Daesh (ISIS).
Russian top-flight club Ural Yekaterinburg Thursday appointed a new coach days after his predecessor resigned over match-fixing suspicions.
The European Union urged Russia to bring an end to the bombing of Aleppo in Syria but refrained from imposing any sanctions on Moscow.

Q: UrlEncoding - which encoding should I use? Using HttpUtility.UrlEncode and passing via the URL the receiving page sees the variables as:

brand new -> brand+new
  Airconaire+Ltd -> Airconaire+Ltd

Can you see how the first and the second both have a + in them where they didn't at the start?  I'm assuming this is something to do with the encoding (specifically RFC3986 or RFC2396) but how do I solve this?
I think ideally the spaces should be converted to %20 but is this the best way forward?

A: Try using HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode rather than URLEncode.

A: The UrlEncode() method can be used to encode the entire URL, including query-string values. If characters such as blanks and punctuation are passed in an HTTP stream, they might be misinterpreted at the receiving end. URL encoding converts characters that are not allowed in a URL into character-entity equivalents; URL decoding reverses the encoding. For example, when the characters < and > are embedded in a block of text to be transmitted in a URL, they are encoded as %3c and %3e.
You can encode a URL using with the UrlEncode() method or the UrlPathEncode() method. However, the methods return different results. The UrlEncode() method converts each space character to a plus character (+). The UrlPathEncode() method converts each space character into the string "%20", which represents a space in hexadecimal notation. Use the UrlPathEncode() method when you encode the path portion of a URL in order to guarantee a consistent decoded URL, regardless of which platform or browser performs the decoding.

Hi I'm Rochelle, a BANT and CNHC registered Nutritional Therapist providing nutrition consultancy to excel your health. Evaluating your needs to deliver bespoke diet and lifestyle programmes.
I am the founder of Elle Rock Nutrition, a nutritional therapy consultancy.
Please feel free to contact me on 07732 035 689 or email as above to book your initial nutrition consultation, or to have a 15-minute chat to help with any queries you may have about the consultancy process.
I have worked over a decade in varied public and private healthcare sectors in London and Brighton, including care homes, paediatric wards and specialist eye clinics. Currently, I work on Harley Street at Nutrition Associates Ltd with Dr Damien Downing, a private orthomolecular doctor.
I also help organise community days, deliver health and wellbeing workshops and talks in the community of East London. Previous workshops have focussed on mental health awareness, blood glucose/insulin balancing, pain management and the fundamental principles of nutrition.
This is an in-person consultation where I gather relevant information about you, from you. In this time together, we examine your health symptoms, full health history, diet, lifestyle, stress levels, emotional state, environmental influences, sleeping patterns, and analyse them in relation to your current health concerns and health aims.
Then having explained the possible underlying factors to your concerns, an initial personal health action plan is created and emailed to you containing bespoke dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help improve the current health status and achieve your goals. Laboratory tests and supplementation may be recommended but are not included in the consultation fee.
This is an initial silver consultation with a full comprehensive nutritional therapy report including an analysis of your health status, evaluation of current diet, 4-day diet plan, recipes and an initial health action plan. The cost of any laboratory tests and supplementation will be charged in addition to the consultation fee.
This can be a one-to-one in-person, telephone, FaceTime or Skype meeting that lasts up to 45 minutes to review and support your progress, the successes and challenges.
Follow-ups generally occur 4-6 weeks after the initial consultation. I will continue to work with you and appropriately adjust the personalised nutrition and lifestyle Health Action Plan, where necessary, to improve health status and achieve wellbeing goals.

The couple's first child was not due for another six weeks.
Parson Bennett Ackley was born healthy and, after a short period in an incubator and on a respirator, arrived with his mother for much of spring training.
Ackley's homer came while leading off the fifth inning against Angels starter Jered Weaver. It was a high drive to right that had sufficient carry to reach the seats.
It was Ackley's second career homer in an opener. He also went deep in 2012 against Oakland in Japan.
The Mariners enter the season as a trendy pick not only to reach postseason for the first time since 2001 but to also go deep into October.
What's the best way to deal with that?
"You should embrace it," said second baseman Robinson Cano, who spent nine years dealing with expectations while playing with the Yankees before signing with the Mariners.
"That's what the game's for."
OPENING STREAK
The Mariners' nine consecutive victories on opening day are tied for the second-longest streak in major-league history. The Boston Beaneaters had a 10-game streak from 1887-96.
Three other clubs posted nine-game runs: The St. Louis Browns from 1937-45; the New York Mets from 1983-91; and the Cincinnati Reds from 1983-91.
The Mariners are tied with the Browns' for the longest streak in American League history. The Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954 and became the Orioles.
SEVEN AND COUNTING
Felix Hernandez made his seventh consecutive start on opening day, but he's still got a ways to go to match the record by one pitcher for the same organization.
Robin Roberts started 12 openers in a row for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1950-61.
Jack Morris started 11 in a row for Detroit from 1980-90, while two pitchers had 10-game streaks: Steve Carlton for the Phillies from 1977-86, and Tom Seaver for the New York Mets from 1968-77.
Morris actually started 14 consecutive openers; he started for Minnesota in 1991 and for Toronto in 1992-93.
UPCOMING MATCHUPS
The tentative pitching matchups are set for the next five games:
Tuesday vs. Los Angeles: LHP James Paxton vs. Angels LHP C.J. Wilson.
Wednesday vs. Los Angeles: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma vs. Angels RHP Matt Shoemaker.
Friday at Oakland: RHP Taijuan Walker vs. Athletics LHP Drew Pomeranz.
Saturday at Oakland: LHP J.A. Happ vs. Athletics RHP Sonny Gray.
Sunday at Oakland: RHP Felix Hernandez vs. Athletics RHP Jesse Hahn.
It was 38 years ago Monday — April 6, 1977 — that the Mariners played their first game in franchise history . That came at the Kingdome and was also against the Angels.
The Mariners lost 7-0.
Footnote from that day: Much-loved broadcaster Dave Niehaus nearly missed the first pitch because he was fetching a beverage for then-Angels owner Gene Autry.
My oh my!
Niehaus spent eight years as an Angels broadcaster before joining the Mariners' crew in the franchise's first year. He remained 34 years with the organization prior to his death in 2010.
SHORT HOPS
Carson Smith has not given up a run in any of his 10 career appearances. ... Hernandez is 5-1 with a 1.07 ERA in his past nine starts against the Angels. ... Hernandez became just the fourth pitcher in the past 102 years to register 10 or more strikeouts in three different season openers. Randy Johnson did it four times. Pedro Martinez and Bob Gibson each did it three times. ... Four Mariners experienced their first opening day in the big leagues: pitchers Taijuan Walker, Carson Smith and catcher Jesus Sucre. For Tyler Olson, it was not only his first opening day in the big leagues but also his first day in the major leagues. ... Robinson Cano and Hernandez experienced their 10th season opener. ... Closer Fernando Rodney is the oldest player on the Mariners' roster at 38 years and 19 days (as of Monday). Walker is the youngest at 22 years and 236 days. ... Besides Ackley, the Mariners have had only two left fielders hit homers on opening day. Remember Eric Anthony in 1994 and Darren Bragg in 1996? ... The Mariners' streak of six consecutive road openers, which ended Monday, was the longest in the big leagues since Milwaukee opened 10 years on the road from 1996-2005. ... The Mariners are 24-15 on opening day and 4-6 when the opener is a day game. ... This was the 17th time the Mariners opened the season on a Monday. They are 10-7 in those games. ... Monday was the 6,034th game in franchise history. The Mariners improved to 2,823-3,209.

This month was my personal episode, and we focused on more of my likes and dislikes of K-Pop, and this time the other panelists chimed in! I did dig in and give you some tea; some stories, and experiences that I've had as both a fan and a member of the press. Now I don't want to give too much away of course, as we want you listening!
Concert organisation – What happens when you don't get the Early Entry and Hi-touch you paid for?
Fan benefits in Asia compared to benefits outside of Europe.
The beauty of K-Pop albums, packages and group orders.
This episode focuses on the above, in reference to my personal likes and dislikes, but the team chimed in and spilled tea on American events that I had no clue about! It's always refreshing to hear their experiences, as they're so, so similar to mine, and the only difference is that I live on a different continent. However, it seems that K-Pop concerts in America are organised a little bit better, and the fans have nicer hi-touch and photo experiences.
This month's episode was split into two parts, just because we wanted to treat you guys this month, and we had some bonus content as it was just too juicy not to share!
Alejandro, Immy and Kaylee give some good advice on how to interact with your faves more! They also talk about their own personal hi-touch/photo experiences with GOT7, MONSTA X and Zion T.
I really feel that our "Shots Sprinkled" segment this month was HOT. I'm surprised no one was triggered, or maybe you were but you didn't leave a comment!
We encourage you to comment, share and interact with us!
Keep an eye out for July's episode! It's Kaylee's turn to take the lead, and I can't wait to hear what she has to say!
