Feilhaber: 'It's Easy To See That This Club Wants To Be Special'
January 11, 20182:48PM PST
Benny Feilhaber is excited to be playing his soccer in Southern California once again. But the former Irvine Striker and UCLA Bruin is not quite as excited as his friends and family.
"There's already been fights among friends over who's getting tickets to what games. It's going to be a lot of fun playing in front of everybody," Feilhaber said at his LAFC unveiling.
Feilhaber joins LAFC after spending five seasons with Sporting KC, a stretch that included an MLS Cup and two Open Cups. While he's excited to be back in LA, initially Feilhaber had mixed emotions after finding out he'd been traded.
"It was a mixed bag of emotions because as much as I was thrilled to come to LAFC, and it's something that I've thought about over the last few months, it's always hard to leave people that you know," Feilhaber said.
But Feilhaber made it clear, the chance to play for a new club in the heart of LA was something he relished.
"It's easy to see that this Club wants to be something special and it goes beyond just the soccer field," Feilhaber said. "There's no doubt about it, it starts with being a good team, fun to watch for the fans, and connecting with people around the city. Winning championships is always going to be a goal of every team but I think the way we are going about it is the right way. We are trying to connect with people in every part of LA. I think there is going to be a lot of true fans that are coming to the stadium or watching the games on TV. It's really exciting to be a part of this group."
Officially unveiled by LAFC on Wednesday, Feilhaber embarked on a media tour including stops at ESPN's Heineken Boot Room and Nación ESPN before meeting his new Club firsthand at the LAFC Experience Center.
"It was fantastic. It's funny because you don't think about that kind of stuff," said Feilhaber after being met with a round of applause from the entire LAFC staff.

"There's been people that have been putting the hours in for maybe over a year, even though the team is only going to start playing its first game in March. So it's awesome to see the work that people have done and you can see it in their faces how happy it makes them to see the team becoming a team. All their hard work is obviously appreciated by myself and I'm sure every player that has come into this team."

What Are the Causes of Bulimia?
Medically reviewed by Jacquelyn Johnson, PsyD. — By Gia Miller — Updated on May 17, 2021
What is bulimia?
Bulimia is a serious eating disorder. Though the exact causes of bulimia aren't known, several factors can contribute to its development.
Appearances aren't everything, despite what the media might proclaim. But many people with eating disorders like bulimia nervosa find themselves consumed with thoughts of body weight and shape.
Someone with bulimia nervosa — aka bulimia — will typically binge (eat a lot of food) and then do purging or non-purging behaviors to get rid of the food.
If you or someone you know has bulimia, you're not alone. In fact, at least 1% of U.S. adults will have bulimia at some point in their life.
But how does bulimia begin? While there's not one single cause of bulimia, there are several factors that may contribute.
Bulimia is a type of eating disorder that might start when someone becomes fixated on their body image, shape, and weight. Though most people associate bulimia with throwing up after eating, it's so much more than that — and some people with bulimia don't vomit.
If you have bulimia, these fixations or obsessions with your body lead you to take extreme measures which often involve bingeing and purging.
Many people with bulimia cycle between binge eating (eating a lot) and purging (getting rid of the food), though some people with bulimia use non-purging behaviors such as obsessive exercising to "make up for" the binge.
Binge eating is usually done in secret, then followed by overwhelming guilt or shame, which leads to purging.
Purging isn't just making yourself throw up — it can also mean using laxatives or diuretics. Some people may also go on crash diets, not eat for long periods of time (fasting), and exercise compulsively even when they're sick or tired.
Symptoms of bulimia can last for many years and lead to both physical and mental health issues if left untreated.
Recovery is possible. Treatment plans typically involve addressing issues with body image, treating any underlying mental health conditions, and teaching coping strategies.

Causes and risk factors of bulimia
There's no single cause of bulimia, and the exact causes aren't known.
However, researchers believe there are several factors that can increase a person's chances of developing this eating disorder.
Biology (genetics)
Some eating disorders like bulimia can run in families, meaning they have a genetic component.
According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), people who have a family member with an eating disorder have between a 28–74% chance of also developing an eating disorder.
This means that if your parent or sibling has an eating disorder, you may be more likely to develop one, too.
Research in 2009 suggests that women with diabetes are more likely to develop an eating disorder than those who don't have diabetes. The American Diabetes Association says that bulimia is the most common eating disorder seen in women with type 1 diabetes.
Other research in 2013 suggests that eating disorders may be linked to changing levels in serotonin and other chemicals in the brain. These chemicals play a role in appetite regulation and impulse control.
Researchers are still exploring the connection between brain activity and bulimia.
Though genetics and family traits can influence your chances of developing bulimia, it doesn't mean you'll definitely develop the condition. Other factors play a role.
Bullying and weight shaming
It's not new in any way, but in recent years, the harmful effects of bullying and teasing have received a lot of attention in the media.
Weight shaming — a form of bullying — can play a big part in school-aged children developing an eating disorder.
Weight shame can lead to low self-esteem and body image issues. These are both common in bulimia. According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), 40–60% of children ages 6 to 12 say they're concerned about their weight or becoming fat.
Many kids who have bulimia say that bullying and weight shaming were one of their first triggers. Bullying and teasing — and all other forms of physical or emotional abuse and neglect — are never OK.
If you're experiencing any type of abuse or neglect, consider talking with a doctor, counselor, your family, or any adult you can trust.
Social and cultural pressures to look a certain way can play a role in eating disorders.
Endless media ads that promote a certain body type can encourage unrealistic expectations of how you should look.
NEDA reports that nearly 69% of children ages 6–12 say that pictures in the media influence what they think is the perfect body shape, and 47% say these images make them want to lose weight to look like those pictures.
These harmful attitudes about weight and body image can cause a person to take extreme measures to live up to society's standards of the "ideal" body.
People with bulimia may cope with upsetting emotions or feelings by binge eating. In the moment, food helps them deal with emotions or distress.
A small 2019 study found that people with bulimia have trouble managing their emotions. Rather than venting these negative feelings, they may hold on to them, often avoiding or even denying they exist.
Suppressing negative emotions can lead to other mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, conditions that have also been linked with bulimia.
Depression and anxiety aren't the only mental health conditions that can occur in people with bulimia. Nearly 95% of people with bulimia have a coexisting mental health condition such as:
a personality disorder
Research in 2016 has shown that approximately 30–40% of people with eating disorders also engage in self-harming behaviors such as cutting.
These coexisting conditions are so closely linked that doctors have trouble determining which condition occurred first. Did the coexisting condition contribute to the bulimia, or did the bulimia contribute to the other condition?
But don't worry — you don't have to figure this out on your own. Consider talking with a mental health professional or doctor, so they can work with you to figure out if one condition is causing symptoms of another.
In your treatment plan, your doctor can explore all of your needs, looking at how factors and stressors in your life have contributed to developing your conditions.
Stressful life events
Big life changes — like a breakup, starting a new job, moving, going away to college, or puberty — can be incredibly stressful.
You may be more likely to develop an eating disorder during stressful times.
One study in 2011 suggests that even just changing schools — transitioning from junior high, for instance — played a part in some young people developing an eating disorder.
Adapting to a new environment, such as a new school or college, can be challenging. It's common to feel lonely, depressed, or anxious. Adding a lack of support or lack of close relationships can make these times harder.
Experiencing a traumatic event — even if it took place years ago — may be a trigger or cause of bulimia in some people.
A study in 2011 found that one-third (36.9%) of people with bulimia reported a history of interpersonal trauma such as sexual abuse and assault. They experienced PTSD from these traumas.
Other forms of emotional and physical abuse and neglect, including food deprivation and physical assault, may also increase your chances of having bulimia.
Dealing with any type of trauma can be challenging and feel overwhelming. For some people, bingeing and purging offers them an escape from dealing with the trauma and feelings surrounding it, as well as any symptoms of PTSD that occur.
So, what next?
Now that you understand more about the causes of bulimia, consider learning more about bulimia, its symptoms, and the treatment options.
Knowing as much as you can about bulimia, including when to seek help, is important if you believe you or someone you know may have it.
Bulimia can often feel like a lonely condition. You may feel like you're the only one thinking or feeling the way you do, but you're not alone.
If you want to connect with others who are going through similar things, NEDA has several resources such as their community forums and local treatment centers for professional support.

Rabbi Marvin Tokayer Visits Regency Jewish Heritage In Somerset, NJ
Posted on November 19, 2015 by Judah
From the desk of Marie Barnes, Regency Corporate Marketing & Public Relations Director:
Regency Jewish Heritage Post-Acute, Rehab and Nursing Center, 380 Demott Lane, Somerset, hosted a book and author brunch on Sunday, November 15th. The event was extremely interesting and a banner group from the community were in attendace. Chai Lights and Canal Walk Hadassah chapters organized this wonderful fundraiser highlighting the book, "Pepper, Silk & Ivory", featuring one of the authors, Rabbi Tokayer, presenting.
The book is about a chapter missing from Jewish history. While most people know the stories of the Jews of Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, few are familiar with the colorful and captivating stories of Jews and the Far East. To bring this exciting and overlooked part of the Jewish experience to life, Rabbi Marvin Tokayer and Ellen Rodman, Ph.D. have written PEPPER, SILK & IVORY: Amazing Stories about Jews and the Far East.
"Every part of the Far East has a relationship with Jews. Their stories remind us all that in the most unexpected and amazing ways, 4,000 years of Jewish history also includes Asia," coauthor Rabbi Tokayer says. He first became aware of these little-known stories when he served as rabbi to the Jewish Community of Japan. PEPPER, SILK & IVORY reveals layer after layer of forgotten Jewish history."
"In the most unexpected ways, Jewish history includes the Far East too; it's a part of the world with no anti-Semitism or persecution and was blessed with the concepts of tolerance and cultural pluralism," coauthor Ellen Rodman says. The authors traveled the world to collect the details of these amazing stories from official state records, historical accounts and eyewitnesses. Many of the facts they relate have never been published—until now. PEPPER, SILK & IVORY spins eye-opening and often jaw-dropping tales of beauty queens, "royalty" and feisty primates, sacred texts and state secrets—the long forgotten, but vitally important, part of Jewish history.
RABBI MARVIN TOKAYER served as a U.S. Air Force chaplain before becoming the rabbi of the Jewish Community of Japan, a position he served in for eight years before being named Lifetime Honorary Rabbi. He was vice president of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Southeast Asia and the Far East, a delegate to the World Conference of Religion & Peace, a delegate to the First International Conference of Science, Philosophy & Religion, and a board member of the Sino-Judaic Institute. He has lectured widely and has written 20 books on Judaica in Japanese, multiple articles for the Encyclopedia Judaica, and co-wrote The Fugu Plan: The Untold Story of the Japanese and the Jews During World War II (co-written by Mary Swartz). He was a contributor to the PBS documentary, Sugihara: A Conspiracy of Kindness.
A hot and cold buffet was served to the crowd of attendees, and Rabbi Tokayer signed personal copies for the audience. It was an enjoyable afternoon, and Regency Jewish Heritage was proud to host this very informative presentation to the community.

Expedia and ARC Predict Airfares to Decline
RewardExpert Team
A travel report from Expedia and Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) predicts that plane ticket prices will continue to decline over the next year. Popular destinations, including Europe and Latin America, will likely see price drops of 4 to 6 percent.
In the first half of 2015, ticket prices dropped an average of 2 percent across Europe and North America, and about 7 percent in Asia-Pacific.
The report, Travel Check-Up: Air Travel Trends 2015, looked at global travel trends, ticket prices, consumer demand and the potential to save through travel packages. It was released in early June and is available here.
Top 10 Travel Bargains
The report predicts the top 10 routes that will be the best deals in air travel during the remainder of 2015. Analysis of pricing trends suggests that these routes will have the biggest percentage drops in average ticket prices:
Malaysia to Australia
Italy to Portugal
Brazil to the United States
Spain to Thailand
Germany to Portugal
Japan to France
United States to Dubai
Mexico to France
Malaysia to Thailand
Sweden to Spain
Packages Offer the Greatest Savings
One of the report's biggest takeaways is that package deals offer the biggest savings. ARC and Expedia found that, on average, consumers saved up to $648 across all destinations when booking plane tickets and hotel rooms together instead of separately. The data was gathered on bundled air and hotel package prices for June through September 2015.
Bundled air and hotel deals offered big savings to travelers
Trip Length Is Shortest From the United States
The report also studied how long people stayed when they traveled to various locations. Flights originating in the U.S. led to the shortest stays. In June and July, people tended to stay longer when they flew from North America to Asia-Pacific.
Travelers originating in Asia-Pacific and heading to Europe in August had the longest average stays. The report's authors surmised that this could be because the Chinese yuan is gaining strength against the U.S. dollar, causing a surge in outbound travel from China.
About the Agencies Behind the Report
ARC provides services and products to the U.S. travel industry and has information on more than 9 billion passenger flights, providing a detailed view of air travel. Expedia encompasses Expedia.com, an online travel agency with localized sites in 31 countries, and also Hotels.com and discount travel sites Hotwire, Travelocity and CarRentals.com.

From Conservapedia
(Redirected from CDC)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a massive United States government agency that spends over $8 billion a year.[1] Its globalist liberal bias and unjustified tyrannical commands lead to its nickname "Corrupt Disease Control."
Its annual budget reflects political pressure and interests of the pharmaceutical industry rather than the incidence of disease and health problems among Americans. There have been frequent complaints of conflicts of interest by officials at the CDC. The CDC has made many high-profile mistakes in recommending vaccines wanted by the pharmaceutical industry, such as the Lyme disease vaccine, the rotavirus vaccine and the swine flu vaccine, all of which were later pulled from the market.
In mishandling the coronavirus crisis, the totalitarian CDC insisted on using its own defective testing rather than allow superior private testing to be done, which would have helped minimized the spread of the disease at a crucial time. In addition, on April 13, 2020, Dr. Annie Bukachek, citing a memo from the CDC dated March 24,[2] indicated that the CDC deliberately overcounted deaths caused by COVID-19 by telling doctors to count anyone who had COVID-19 in their system at the time of death as a COVID-19 death, regardless of the actual cause of death.[3] Even worse, leaked emails revealed that the CDC's policy regarding school systems was influenced more by the American Federation of Teachers more than in science.[4]
Founded in 1946, the CDC is based in Atlanta.[5] Atlanta was chosen as its first act was to handle the growing malaria problem; Atlanta was located in the center of the malaria outbreak. It remained there due in large part to the work of Coca-Cola (also based in Atlanta): the CEO of the company made a deal with Emory University to sell some of its land at a highly discounted price.
1 Systemic racism
2 Biden regime

Nicki Minaj fans protest Biden fascism outside CDC headquarters.[6]
Rapper Nicki Minaj had been invited to the White House to speak with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Surgeon General after expressing covid vaccine skepticism. As leftist bigots attacked her for expressing skepticism, the White House denied an invitation was extended in an effort to discredit her before her 200 million-plus followers. Minaj supporters came out in droves to march on the CDC's Atlanta headquarters chanting "Nicki told the truth to me! Fauci lied to me!" about COVID vaccines.[7][8]
The group that organized the protests invited Trump supporters to join them. The protest was set up by the Black Hammer Organization's commander-in-chief Gazi Kodzo, who told the Gateway Pundit about how they hope to put political differences aside to fight together against Biden's racist vaccine mandates. Kodzo told the Gateway Pundit that "this is such a human issue that we can't let things that used to separate us continue to separate us. A real core value of our humanity is literally being ripped from us — the ability to say what goes inside of our bodies."[9] "If we do not make that choice that this administration tells us to make, we are no longer capable of working," Kodzo continued. He said that he is willing to stand with "anyone who is willing to go side by side with me to fight for that core value."
Kodzo said that the way the people attacked Minaj for agreeing with Tucker Carlson is part of an effort from the liberal media to make people "subscribe to this belief that the right is totally evil Nazis — people that you can't talk to, agree with, or be around. It's just a really vile place they have created....I had made a post asking for prayers for my aunt who was having side effects from the vaccine. It was taken down," he explained. "Even on Instagram, I couldn't go live for a week. I can't voice my opinion online, so where else do I do it, other than outside the CDC's gates?"
Kodzo said that when they were outside the CDC they were praying and singing with their signs — not being aggressive or causing any trouble — but that employees from the agency were being highly confrontational and disrespectful towards them. Some, Kodzo says, were even throwing things at them from their luxury vehicles. "The people that work at the CDC started flicking us off and started trying to get out of their cars to attack us," he said. "Homeland Security came and they were protecting us from the CDC employees! It was wild." The diverse group who had gathered included a Trump-supporting nurse and a scientist, he said, but the media did not report on that aspect of it. "I was there asking questions. We have done nothing but be their slaves for 18 months. We have had to do whatever they said for 18 months and nothing has changed — but they're surprised we're there? You're surprised people are upset with you?" Kodzo said of the CDC employees that were angered by the protesters' presence.

"It should be clear to all by now that federal bureaucracies are either too corrupt, politicized, or incompetent to fulfill their core missions. The purpose of bureaucracies is to continually expand their payroll, budgets, and missions to the point of becoming massive, inefficient, and deadly. We will have to take care of ourselves if we want to survive. Waiting for more CDC directives and guidelines is worse than counterproductive."—Richard Amerling, M.D., Association of American Physicians and Surgeons[11]

Q: Merge array in rest api in response I am working with rest api in PHP and I'm getting an array output result. But I want to get data nested within cat_id. This is my actual output result below:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 16
            [user_id] => 1
            [cat_id] => 11
            [image] => abc.jpg
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 16
            [user_id] => 2
            [cat_id] => 11
            [image] => xyz.jpg
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 16
            [user_id] => 2
            [cat_id] => 12
            [image] => cde.jpg
        )

I want to show the output result via cat_id like the following array
[0] => Array
(

    [cat_id] => 11
        {
            [image] => abc.jpg
            [user_id] => 1

            [image] => xyz.jpg
            [user_id] => 2

        }
    [cat_id] => 12
        {
            [image] => cde.jpg
            [user_id] => 2
        }
)

Here is my code in controller
$users['rec'] = $this->Model_users->get_categories();
$responseJSON = array("Status" => true,"Message" => "Records","Result" => $users['rec']);
header("content-type:application/json");
$response = json_encode($responseJSON);
echo $response;

Here is my model
$this->load->database();
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('mytable');
$query = $this->db->get();
if ( $query->num_rows() > 0 ){
    $rows = $query->result_array();
    return $rows;
}else{
    return false;
}

A: You can do this
$cats = array();

foreach ($rows as $value) {
    $cats[$value["cat_id"]][] = $value;
}

Now $cats should be the way you want it.

Second Battle Of Ypres Begins
On this day in 1915, German forces shock Allied soldiers along the Western Front by firing more than 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas against two French colonial divisions at Ypres in Belgium.
Toxic smoke had been used occasionally in warfare since ancient times, and in 1912, the French used small amounts of tear gas in police operations. At the outbreak of World War I, however, the Germans began to actively develop chemical weapons. In October 1914, small tear-gas canisters were placed in shells that were fired at Neuve Chapelle, France, but Allied troops were not exposed. In January 1915, the Germans fired shells loaded with xylyl bromide, a more lethal gas, at Russian troops at Bolimov on the Eastern Front. Because of the wintry cold, most of the gas froze, but the Russians nonetheless reported more than 1,000 killed as a result of the new weapon.
On April 22, 1915, the Germans launched their first and only offensive of the year. Now referred to as the Second Battle of Ypres, the offensive began with the usual artillery bombardment of the enemy's line. When the shelling died down, the Allied defenders waited for the first wave of German attack troops but instead were thrown into panic when chlorine gas wafted across no-man's land and down into their trenches. The Germans targeted four miles of the front with the wind-blown poison gas, decimating two divisions of French and Algerian colonial troops. The Germans, perhaps as shocked as the Allies by the devastating effects of the poison gas, failed to take full advantage, and the Allies managed to hold most of their positions.
A second gas attack, against a Canadian division, on April 24, pushed the Allies further back, and, by May, they had retreated to the town of Ypres. The Second Battle of Ypres ended on May 25, with insignificant gains for the Germans. The introduction of poison gas, however, would have great significance in World War I.
Immediately after the German gas attack at Ypres, the French and British began developing their own chemical weapons and gas masks. With the Germans taking the lead, an extensive number of projectiles filled with deadly substances polluted the trenches during the next several years of war. Mustard gas, introduced by the Germans in 1917, blistered the skin, eyes and lungs, and killed thousands. Military strategists defended the use of poison gas by saying it reduced the enemy's ability to respond and thus saved lives in offensives. In reality, defenses against poison gas usually kept pace with offensive developments, and both sides employed sophisticated gas masks and protective clothing that eventually negated the strategic importance of chemical weapons.
The United States, which entered World War I in 1917, also developed and used chemical weapons. Future President Harry S. Truman was the captain of a U.S. field artillery unit that fired poison gas against the Germans in 1918. In all, more than 100,000 tons of chemical weapons agents were used in World War I, some 500,000 troops were injured from their use and almost 30,000 died, including 2,000 Americans.

Heirloom tomatoes often steal the show in summer gardens, but every now and then a newer variety comes out that we just have to try, like the Indigo Rose. These tomatoes are not considered heirloom, but they are not GMO, either. The Indigo Rose was developed using conventional breeding techniques, where existing varieties were cross-pollinated and plants with desirable traits were selected. In the case of the Indigo Rose, breeders were looking to produce a tomato with high levels of the antioxidants known as anthocyanins. These chemicals have numerous health benefits and are believed to help prevent various forms of cancer. Anthocyanins are responsible for the dark purple pigment found in the Indigo Rose. Another great thing about this variety is that it is a more compact grower and more disease resistant than many of the larger heirloom-type tomatoes.
The Desert Delight nectarine is one of the earliest varieties to ripen and a great choice for any San Diego garden or landscape. Many people do not realize that numerous varieties of peaches and nectarines can thrive in our temperate climate. Nectarines and peaches not only produce wonderful fruit, but they can also make beautiful specimen trees in ornamental and edible landscapes. The key to growing nectarines or peaches here in San Diego is selecting varieties that have low chill requirements. The chill requirements refer to the number of hours that are required for a deciduous tree to undergo proper dormancy over winter. Varieties with high chill requirements may not enter dormancy correctly if there is not enough cold weather. Trees that do not receive enough chill may not produce fruit and may eventually die.
Coastal parts of San Diego typically receive less than 300 hours of chill each winter. For more inland areas or low valleys, that number may increase to 300–500 hours. Happily, the Desert Delight nectarine needs only 100-200 chill hours, making it a great choice for nearly any part of San Diego!
Most people are familiar with the mushy, flavorless green balls known as "peas" that are most often confined to the frozen-food section. What many people do not realize is that fresh peas can taste really good, are good for you, and are easy to grow.
Shelling peas are almost identical in appearance to the sugar pod or snap peas with which most gardeners are familiar, except shelling peas do not have an edible pod. Instead, shelling peas are grown for the sweet, plump peas that form inside the pod. They can be eaten fresh in salads, added to stir-fries, or used in any recipe where frozen peas are called for. Shelling peas are full of cancer-fighting antioxidants and are high in protein and fiber. Additionally, as with other pea plants, young shoots can also be harvested and eaten fresh or lightly sautéed. Peas enjoy cooler weather and are typically planted between September and March.
This month's plant highlight is the Dorsett Golden apple. This versatile apple is perfectly adapted to our Mediterranean climate and provides a long harvest season of large, sweet, crispy fruit. We have grown this tree successfully less than a mile off the beach and in all types of soil, from sand to clay. It's not uncommon to be harvesting fruit off a single tree from May through August. As with other apples, this variety can easily be size-controlled with proper pruning and may be grown as an espalier where space is limited.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Golf gets up to date…slowly!
A survey conducted by an accountancy firm called Hillier Hopkins was published last month. It revealed that last year, 68% of the members of UK golf clubs were aged over 50. The equivalent figure for 2019 was 63%. The various lockdowns occasioned by the Covid-19 crisis may have encouraged more people to join or rejoin golf clubs, but it seems that the majority of people so doing could not be classed as the future of the game.
Robert Maxfield, chief executive of the Professional Golfers Association, told the Sunday Times: "Many children take their phones wherever they go. The first thing they want to know when they arrive is the wi-fi code. However, lots of golf clubs would not allow a mobile phone in the clubhouse. If you're trying to attract younger people to the club and you stop them using a mobile phone, you're going to realise quickly that the kids aren't going to want to go. Golf has to move with the times."
Tyrrell Hatton caused consternation in the more conservative golfing quarters when he won the BMW PGA Championship – the European Tour's flagship event, no less! – at Wentworth last October while wearing a hoodie on both days of the weekend. In a variation on this theme, Emma Ballard, editor of Women & Golf, pointed out: "Golf can be seen as an elitist sport but there are places where you can definitely wear jeans and a T-shirt and no one really cares." Alternatively, there are places where some people would mind very much indeed. Re mobile phones, Ballard added: "If young people are not allowed their phones [on the course], I can imagine that is definitely a barrier. But things are changing."
She is surely right. Times have changed, not least as regards the treatment of women golfers. And thank goodness. A notorious anecdote from the 1965 Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship at St Andrews stands testimony to this. A group of competitors were huddled in front of the (then) men-only R&A clubhouse, umbrellas in abundance as they sought shelter from a ferocious storm. A club official approached them. Was he going to offer them shelter in the clubhouse? No! He had been dispatched to ask them to lower their brollies because they were spoiling the view of the members enjoying the warmth and whisky to be found inside.
But change does come slowly. Sometimes very slowly. Across the Atlantic, the storied Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey has just voted to admit women members. In his article reporting this in the Sunday Telegraph, James Corrigan's final paragraph noted that there remained several male-only golf clubs in the United States, "including Burning Tree in Maryland; women are not permitted inside the club at all, apart from into the professional shop in December to shop for Christmas presents for their husbands".
How does that conversation go? "No, I got him kummel last time. You don't stock strychnine, do you?"
May 20, 2021 May 20, 2021 Robert Green


Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC – Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing, content marketing and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.
Is It Possible to Make money while you sleep.
For 99% of people, affiliate marketing is how they get started.
The idea behind it is that you promote other people's products, often through an affiliate network, earning a commission if people actually end up buying thanks to your marketing.
It's based on revenue sharing. If you have a product and want to sell more, you can offer promoters a financial incentive through an affiliate program. If you have no product and want to make money, then you can promote a product that you feel has value and earn an income from it as an affiliate marketer.
I've talked a little about it before, but today I want to dive deeper into what affiliate marketing actually is, what sides there are to it, and how to get started. So, let's dive into my affiliate marketing guide. Ready?

New BMW Documentaries Franchise to Kick-Off Unique Project Dedicated to the Future of Mobility
12:01 PM PST - 1/21/2011 Written By: BMW Group USA
Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 20, 2011… BMW of North America announced today a four-part documentary series entitled "Wherever You Want To Go: Four Films about the Future of Mobility", which is intended to create a broader conversation about the future of mobility and to challenge existing consumer mindsets. A trailer for the series can be seen now at www.BMWActivetheFuture.com The first film, "The New City," premieres on February 1st with subsequent films premiering each Tuesday throughout the month of February. This project kicks-off a new franchise called BMW Documentaries, an initiative dedicated to crafting original, thought-provoking and entertaining content.
The project is designed to start a broader conversation that thinks "beyond the car." Each film will feature key thought leaders like Syd Mead, the futurist and conceptual designer for Blade Runner; Marissa Mayer, VP of location services at Google; Chris Brogan, President & CEO, Human Business Works; and Buzz Aldrin, among others talking about their view of mobility in the cities of the future. See the full list of thought leaders below. Each of the four films will delve into the future of mobility through the lens of the cities we live in, our past, technology and invention and predictions of the future.
1. "The New City" [February 1, 2011]
How the way we live will impact the way we move.
2. "The Future Just Isn't What It Used To Be" [February 8, 2011]
Past predictions and hopeful designs for the future of mobility.
3. "Reinventing Mobility" [February 15, 2011]
How technology will change mobility in the future.
4. "How We'll Learn To Stop Worrying and Love the Future" [February 22, 2011]
A look at things to come and a future of possibilities
"We learned a lot from our first field trial with the MINI E, including how to make our future electric vehicles better. One thing that also became crystal clear was the need for a collective dialogue about the future of mobility. As we prepare for our second field trial with the BMW ActiveE later this year, we wanted to get that conversation started now." said Rich Steinberg, Manager – Electric Vehicle Operations & Strategy, BMW of North America. "As an automobile company, the future of mobility is at the forefront of all of our development endeavors, and we are constantly asking ourselves how we can design cars of the future that positively impact the design of future cities."
Developed with kirshenbaum bond senecal + partners, the films precipitate a unique collective engineering project, dubbed "Activate The Future" designed to build a community of people who are passionate about working together to create the future, rather than waiting for it to happen to them. Participants will be encouraged to discuss, share and actively participate through use of proprietary technology.
As part of "Activate the Future", later this year BMW will also be recruiting ActiveE field trial participants in the metropolitan areas of New York, , Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento, as well as the state of Connecticut. Participants will contribute real-time qualitative and quantitative data to www.BMWActivateTheFuture.com , where it will be used to help predict the impact of electric vehicles on megacities of the future. This is the second effort in the EV space by the BMW Group that began in 2009 with the MINI E field trial. Participants in that field trial will continue to play an important role in helping to explore the future of mobility including the BMW ActiveE.
The BMW ActiveE will be an electric vehicle based on a BMW 1 Series Coupe that will use electric motor and battery cell technology developed in-house. It will represent the second phase of a three-phase electric vehicle development plan that will lead to a dedicated electric vehicle that will launch in 2013. The BMW ActiveE will be available for lease beginning this summer.
