I've shared a snippet of my customer success story with Amazon in my blog post 3 groundbreaking questions every customer service employee should ask but after last night's phone call to their customer service department, I'm sold like never before. I'm not a big spender but with Amazon, I would spend it all. Like most people, I dread calling in to dispute a credit card charge but with Amazon, I can do it every day, all day, any day. Here is a company that actually gives me what I want. Rare! Here are the top 3 reasons I really love Amazon's customer service.
I needed to dispute a credit card charge with Amazon, I was certain that I cancelled my prime subscription so what's with the $89 charge? Hubby accidentally searched for Amazon's contact information in their products bar and it worked! We were instantly navigated to their contact us page. Smart. They asked us to fill in the reason for our call via easy drop down options, entered our phone number for a call back and one second later, someone or something was calling our phone.
Ensuring your contact information is super easy for customers to find is vital for the customer experience. Have a professional phone number, email address and don't forget that professional voicemail greeting where needed.
For sure I knew it would be an automated system dialing us in from a faraway land with a faraway representative and it was! But literally 2 seconds later, a friendly voice was on the other end. She embodied everything you would want in a customer service rep and more. She verified us, found our myriad of Canadian and American Amazon accounts and gave us our refund without an issue, question or spanking. Turns out, it was our fault we got charged and the representative apologized for our inconvenience. Wait, what! She apologized to us for our mistake, that's crazy. I can't even get companies to apologize for stuff that was their fault.
A simple apology can make the difference between a one-time shopper and a lifetime customer yet many service reps will simply ignore an aggravated guest even when they wave a red flag. Taking accountability for customer support issues regardless of whose to blame will show customers you take them seriously and more importantly that you value their experience more than winning the blame game.
We were on the phone talking to the rep for over 20 minutes as she scrubbed our accounts for all the mess we created. She was very proactive in trying to find our issues and never seemed bothered by our confusion, disorganization or ignorant questions. Overall, our call went very well and had to be in my top 5 best on phone experiences ever (great blog title, lol) even though it was hubby on the phone the entire time! Yes, I didn't even speak to her. I could hear her speak enthusiastically; her tone was inviting, very personable and engaging. Hubby barely wanted to hang up. We loved her!
Making every transaction with your customer memorable is extremely valuable. Remembering your customer's name or their order from the last visit shows that you care and believe me it stands out since so few only 3% of companies delight their customers by providing a world-class experience according to The Dijulius Group, a customer service consulting group in Cleveland, Ohio.
Amazon isn't worth $131 billion US dollars because they sell everything, it's because they have centered their business purely around the customer, it's what drives their strategy, ideas and vision. Customer service is their DNA.

Science my friend, science. But seriously. First read this and watch the video. The actual Nicotine test is built on what is called an Acid-Base Titration. Albeit, Acid-Base Titration kits out there typically contain more savvy gear than what is included in our test kit, but our kits do the job and are significantly cheaper. Yes, we did cut some corners but hey, would you have rather spent more money to ultimately get the same or similar results?
This video can be found on YouTube. We are not involved with this video. We simply embedded it for your viewing pleasure.
A titration test is a controlled addition of one substance into another substance. In an acid-base titration, the lab expert (or potentially you in this case) will add a base of known concentration to an acid of unknown concentration. The goal of the titration is usually to use the substance of known concentration to determine the concentration of the other substance.
The titration is performed by slowly dripping the basic solution into a flask/beaker containing a measured amount of the acidic solution and several drops of a pH indicator. The lab expert will most often use a pH indicator that will change color when the endpoint of the titration is reached. In an acid-base titration the lab expert is trying to determine the equivalence point of the reaction, which is the point when the amount of base added was exactly the correct amount to have one base completely react with the other base of the acid.
Okay but why does this neat little experiment work?
We've mentioned before that we are not chemist's or experts in the field of chemistry. We think its uber cool how it works, but are not the most articulate at explaining the technical details. Here it is in a nutshell, but with caveats.
We went over the Acid-Base Titration and with this in mind…. With the Nicotine Test Kit, the acidic solution is added to an unknown concentration of solution containing Nicotine (unknown concentration being the Nicotine strength, not the actual amount of eLiquid). This process is to determine the concentration of the unknown Nicotine content by neutralizing the Nicotine solution with the acidic solution. The term neutralizing, in these contexts, is when the solution turns from an Alkaline base to an Acidic base.
The pH Indicator is paramount to help in determining when the two solutions (the acidic acid being added and the eLiquid solution that was the base) are neutralized from alkaline to acidic. The pH Indicator will (by changing colors) determine the pH of the end solution. When the nicotine based solution turns from blue in color to yellow in color, it means that A) the pH of the solution went from an alkaline base to an acidic base and B) the actual Nicotine strength (or concentration) is measurable based on the amount of acidic solution used. So we went from adding a known concentration of acidic solution to an unknown amount of solution (being the Nicotine concentration in the eLiquid solution) and came out with a number that can now be measured (because the solution is now yellow or acidic).
The Neutralization process basically helped us identify the unknown (or Nicotine strength) portion of the test by knowing how much of the acidic solution to use in order to turn the alkaline solution into an acidic solution. Because we can measure the concentration of the acidic solution, we can now, by process of elimination, find out the Nicotine strength.
The coolest thing about this experiment is that it doesn't just apply to testing Nicotine. You can test so many bases with the same principles in mind.

25 Facts About Research in Motion
Ericka Chickowski
RIM was first founded in 1985.
Since its release of the first BlackBerry device in 1999, Research in Motion (RIM) has risen as a superpower in enterprise mobility devices. Even President Obama said he couldn't live without his BlackBerry when he stepped into office. With so many businesspeople depending on the BlackBerry, in spite of iPhone and Android popularity, the channel still has ample opportunity to wrap services and other mobility offerings around RIM's creations, particularly when the company releases its new BlackBerry PlayBook tablet in April.

Covering Goa since 1963
Home Magazines Zest The New Year – The Goa Way!
The New Year – The Goa Way!
NT Desk
Sanjeev V Sardesai
Goa has always been the center of attraction, among the umpteen visitors, when it comes to celebrations.
New Year is that one day, at the helm of a string of 365 days, which forms the Gregorian calendar for the western as well as the rest of the world. It is that prime day in the garland of those 365 days, which every citizen on this planet eagerly waits for, across the time zones of the world. It is from that date that the cycle of a dozen months, starts all over again.
Every neighborhood has its own way of bidding goodbye to an earlier set of 365 days; awaiting on a threshold of the New Year, to embrace a fresh set of 365 days of joy, happiness, cheerfulness, pleasure and ecstasy laced with apprehensions, hurts and sadness. But the spirit of positivity, re-charged during the New Year's celebrations, help many to carry on the life's journey in their stride.
Not many know that this month is named after the Roman god Janus, who is portrayed as a two faced entity. One face of his looks forward, while the other looks backward. This was an apt mythological entity to be positioning on the door of a New Year, with 'one face' gazing towards a new path, while the 'other face' glanced at the year that has just gone by. He could also be denoted as the God of Gateways and Beginnings.
Though January 1 is celebrated as the New Year, there are many countries, including India, which varies on the first day of celebrating their New Year. In India, many of its regions celebrate its New Year on different dates. In the Konkan region, the start of a New Year is celebrated as Gudi Padwa. It starts on the first day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Chaitra.
As Goans eagerly wait to exchange wishes on New Year's Day (Gregorian calendar), to share their joy with family and friends – a day prior to this, or the eve of New Year Day, is set aside for an expression of joy. The festivities start at village level since morning. The village youngsters, make an effigy of an old man (denoting the past year), and ready themselves to begin their celebrations. They set this effigy by the side of a busy village road, and the whole day through, every passerby is expected to part with a small monetary contribution. At the end of the day, the amount collected is used to raise the "spirits" of the youth, boosted from the nearest tavern, while the young ones are kept happy with soft drinks.
At the stroke of midnight, this old man effigy is lit up, symbolising that the old year, along with its problems, has gone up in flames; and that we are ready to step into a fresh New Year.
Religious houses offer a midnight Mass, and people attending in formal attire look forward to a sip of wine and a slice of cake, and then attend a formal dance, with family and friends. The New Year is heralded by the ringing of bells and lighting of fireworks.
The first countries in the world to herald-in the New Year are small islands in the Pacific Ocean, known as Tonga Island, along with Samoa & Kiribati. The New Year (midnight) enters Tonga, Samoa & Kiribati at 10 a.m. GMT on December 31, which is IST equivalent to 4:30 a.m. of December 31, in India – 19 and a half hours before the clock strikes midnight in India/ Goa.
The last points of dawning of the New Year are the Baker Island and Howland Island belonging to the USA in the Pacific Ocean, South West of Honolulu. It is a small uninhabited coral atoll, which was earlier known as Nantucket. These are small island lagoons, surrounded by coral reef, and were part an American base during the WWII. The New Year dawns at 12 p.m. GMT on January 1 or 5:30 p.m. on January 1 in Goa.
The most famous of India's who's who of the film industry, as well as the high profile industrialists and politicians make time to be in Goa to herald the New Year. The shacks, hotels, resorts and many mansions are well illuminated; and the beach resorts light up the sky with fascinating fireworks, at the stroke of midnight.
Every village also has its own way of bringing in the New Year. The village of Santa Cruz or Calapur on the Tiswadi Island has a beautiful and collective way of welcoming the New Year. On the evening of January 1, every year, each of the wards of this village, create a tableau with the theme of Christmas, and with the participation of many villagers from that ward, join a parade which starts at about 9 p.m. All the tableaux gather at the south side ward of Cabesa and then proceed towards the Bondir Ward with live music and children dancing behind the floats.
The year 2020 has left a scar of COVID-19, and has whisked away many of our loved ones. This year shall be remembered with a sour taste in the decades to come. However, the positive aspect of these traumatic times was that it brought together and bonded the members of families, who usually never had the time to meet frequently, due to their commitments. The virus is still doing its rounds, with new strains being discovered. To put an end these traumatic times is in the hands of us, people. Let us take all preventive measures to keep ourselves and our family members safe. Let us not give an opportunity to blame the fresh New Year 2021, for mistakes made by us.

Within dental-guided surgery, there has been a lack of analytical methods for optimizing the treatment of the rehabilitation concepts regarding geometrical variation. The purpose of this study is to find the source of the greatest geometrical variation contributor and sensitivity contributor with the help of virtual variation simulation of a dental drill- and implant-guided surgery process using a methodical approach. It is believed that lower geometrical variation will lead to better patient security and higher quality of dental drill- and implant-guided surgeries. It was found that the origin of the greatest contributor to the most variation, and hence where the foci should be set, in order to minimize geometrical variation was in the assembly category (surgery). This was also the category that was the most sensitive for geometrical variation.


Our obsession with designer handbags and to-die-for shoes may be more of a relationship statement than having anything to do with fashion. A new study suggests women often collect these designer items in an effort to subconsciously signal to other women that they are in a serious relationship.
Through a series of experiments on more than 600 women, researchers found that when women see other women in possession of designer items they are more likely to assume they are in committed relationships and will refrain from engaging in flirty conversation with their partner.
During one of the other experiments some of the women were given a scenario in which their significant other was actively flirting with another woman. After being told the scenario these women were asked to draw some designer logos on a sheet of paper. The participants who were told the flirting scenario tended to draw much bigger logos than the women who were simply told to draw the logo.
What do you think of this new study suggesting women purchase designer products in an effort to protect their relationships?
Are you more likely to buy designer goods when you're in a relationship?
This is a very interesting theory. I would hav never associated my handbag purchases with my relationship status or quality. Prior to my being married I honestly can't remember if I purchase higher end bags or not. Yes, I have a few now that I am married but was my subconscious motivation to impress or ward off other women? i don't think I would say yes. This would need a lot more factual evidence for me to side with that theory.
Hmm, interesting, however I didn't have a designer purse until recently (like in the past 2yrs) and I've been in the same relationship for 15yrs. I always see the single ladies sporting the more expensive name brand stuff.
There's some good news for young children with peanut allergy in the form of a wearable "peanut patch".

For years it was estimated that the human body (of a 150-lb man), considering that 60% is water, and adding the chemical contents, was worth 98 cents. In the 1960's they upgraded that amount to $3.50; and in the 1970's they adjusted the tally, evaluating it at $5.60.
Later in that decade, a Yale University biochemist received a humorous birthday card from his daughter in which the original dollar value was stated. He was the wrong person to try to stick with that proposal. He reached for a supply catalogue and began to look up prices relating to the chemicals with which he was familiar. When he had completed his inventory, he maintained that the 98 cents was away off the map. The total value, using his own weight of 180 lbs. as a scale, should read closer to $6 million dollars. The exact tally was $6,000.015.44!
Of course in the New Millennium even that figure is both out-of-date, and not nearly precise enough. In hockey games when a goal with 1.7 seconds left on the clock can determine a win, loss, or a tie……one must be more exact than ever before.
Chemicals are only a part of the most recent tabulations concerning the worth of this old carcass of mine. "Components" of a dozen different kinds now enter into the picture. Basics like bone marrow are calculated at $23,000 per gram—blood at $337. per pint. Organ costs are part of the formula—even DNA. But alkali metals, if you please, is where the dollar temperature starts to rise. Things that most of us have never heard of—like "rubidium"--$10,000.; "boron"--$6,000.; germanium--$2,000—and potassium--$650.
Then there is a list of "black market" body parts prices. A couple of examples are: one liver--$15,763, and kidneys--$95,240.
But when it comes to average hockey fan, such figures warrant a mere casual glance. "What is a hockey body worth?". That is the question!
Obviously it depends of whether those who do the evaluating make a positive or negative estimate of the player involved.
That spring the Montreal Wanderers were their opponents in the finals. One day McGee missed the scheduled train to the Mount Royal City, and Ottawa's management appraised his worth so highly that they paid $1,200 to hire a special train to transport him to the game.
Although hockey was technically an amateur sport at the time, when those same Wanderers turned openly professional four years later, "Newsy" Lalonde received only $1300. for his annual services. That indicates just how highly they rated their star forward.
One of the game's favourite stories, told and retold, involves the storybook nature of Conn Smythe's deal for "King" Clancy in 1931. The Great Depression had set in, sabotaging bank accounts, both personal and corporate. The Ottawa Senators were no exception, so they put Clancy, their most viable commodity, on the trading block. The $35,000. they requested seemed an insurmountable hurdle for any and all bidders. But Conn Smythe 's uncanny monetary wizardry prompted him to go for broke in this venture. He gambled a bundle on his own untried racehorse, "Rare Jewel", and won between ten and eleven thousand dollars. This went along with the $25,000 the team governors were willing to spend. Adding post-dated cheques, and throwing in Art Smith and Eric Pettinger, he forked over the equivalent of $50,000 for the rambunctious rearguard. Obviously no financial sacrifice is too great if the prize is worthwhile. The "Little Major" was certainly convinced this one was.
Back in 1957 Frank Selke Sr. heard rumours that Ted Lindsay, 163 pounds of muscle and sinew, propelled by inherent meanness, was no longer on speaking terms with Detroit Manager Jack Adams. Visions of shinny sugar plums began to dance in his head, as he could picture a Montreal Canadien forward line of the Richard brothers (centre and right wing) complemented by the premiere league left wing, the Red Wing's old "scarface" himself.
So he offered the Motor City manager $100,000. for Theodore's contract (at that moment, the probable salary of upwards of $20,000 per annum would have to wait). "Jolly Jack" wanted no part of contributing to the Habs' ongoing success (three Stanley Cup wins in the last five seasons). So, since Lindsay was in the dog house for quarterbacking a possible player's union, he was traded to Chicago instead.
With the changing value of money it is difficult to compare amounts utilized in different eras. But a million dollars has a definitive ring, regardless of the calendar year.
So it was that a half decade later the Queen City franchise was involved in another rather exorbitant monetary milestone. On October 5, at the gala 1962 All Star dinner, Harold Ballard, braced by some liquid refreshment, was bragging on the superior skills of Frank "The Big M" Mahovlich to Chicago's CEO, "Big Jim" Norris.
"I'll give you a million dollars for him!", came the spirited reply.
"You're kidding, Jim", spluttered Toronto's Vice-President.
And with that Norris proved he wasn't kidding, by laying down a deposit of $1000 on the table. How much of what is reported to have taken place is gospel, and how much is fictional, is still debated. Some said it was all a hoax; others that it was a genuine proposal. But saner heads prevailed in Leafdom, and Frank stayed in the "city of churches" for six more seasons. But there is no question as to how highly Mahovlich was appraised as a hockey player.
But, there are at least a dozen instances which typify the very opposite sentiment about a player's value on the shinny barometer.
One year later, when pro hockey's only military squad was ordered overseas, more than one alleged discrepancy came to the fore. But when it came to Eddie Oatman, along with the revelation that he might never have actually been enlisted—and thus not a bona fide member of the 228th Battalion—he spilled the beans about the amount of his promised $1,200 salary he received ($400). The cat was let out of the bag at that time—all members of the Northern Fusiliers had nominal contracts of $1.00—in keeping with the league's bylaws.
In the late 1920's the service of two old pros was gained for the paltry sum of $1.00. One was Herb Gardiner, whose first five years on the pay-for-play scene was spent with the Calgary Tigers on the Western Hockey League. But when that circuit folded, countless "Western" skaters were snapped up by NHL clubs. The Habs' Leo Dandurand put in this cheapskate bid for this stalwart blue-line workhorse, and it was accepted by Frank Patrick who was is charge of dispersing WHL players. He faithfully minded the store for the Canadiens for three more seasons.
The other victim was Charles "Dinny" Dinsmore. Commencing in 1924 he patrolled the left-wing corridor for the cross-town Montreal Maroons. Suddenly in 1927 he decided to abandon the shinny scene to become a bond salesman. But the lure of the game was too much for him, and as the 1929-30 campaign drew near he approached Manager Dunc Munro about returning to the ice. The price of his comeback to the Maroons would be one buck. Of course Munroe agreed to this humiliating financial arrangement he had hung on himself. Unfortunately, his skills had faded, and he lasted only nine games before going back the work-a-day world. Joe Pelletier calculates this amounted 11 cents per game.
"Buddy" Boone was called the NHL's "original fatman". But he was also tagged "minute man". When Boston's Leo Labine was injured in the 1957 playoffs, Boone was called up to replace him. He played in all of the 5-game series against Detroit; although it is said he played only one minute of a crucial match which led to the end of the Red Wings post-season. And in that minute of the second frame he beat Don Simmons, tallying a key marker in the 5-4 victory.
"Nothing!"—and he left it at that.
Bronco Horvath, centre for the famous Bruins' "Uke Line", and Second Team All Star in 1960, must have been happy that it was a devoted fan, not a team CEO, who reimbursed him for goals scored in 1959-60. At that time, he took golf lessons from Sam Videtta at the Colonial Country Club. A real Bruins fan, he decided to reward the Bronc with golf balls for every goal he scored—at the rate of two for each goal, six for a pair, and a dozen for a hat trick. When he finished the year with 39 markers, it was suggested that he had more balls to cart home than 39 caddies could carry!
Ray Sheppard was no run-of-the-mill puckster. He lit the red lamps behind NHL netminders 52 times in 1993-94. When he finally hung up his blades he had tallied 357 total goals in regular season play. But his worth was not immediately recognized. In 1990 the Sabres tried to avoid waving him through the league, so they sold him to the Rangers for $1.00.
New York managed to stumble onto an identical bargain a year later. Goalie Sam St. Laurent played 14 games with Detroit in 1989-90, then was farmed out to Adirondack. With Glen Hanlon and Tim Cheveldae sharing the netminding duties in the Big Time, he became dispensable. For that same bargain-basement buck, he was on his way to the Big Apple. He never took his place between NHL pipes again.
The early 90's seemed to be an era when that pattern kept being repeated. Kris Draper was another example of weird economics. He was drafted by Winnipeg in 1989, and played his first pro season in 1990-91. While he skated a few shifts from time to time with the Jets, most of his initial campaigns was with their AHL affiliate in Moncton. Although his stipend was not large for an NHL'er, the Manitoba contingent felt it was too costly for a minor leaguer. So for that magic greenback they pawned him off on Detroit. There he enjoyed four Stanley Cup victories, and earned the Selke Trophy as the league's Best Defensive Forward in 2003-04.
When Zellers had stores in almost every city and town, they used to run specials called "Dollar Daze, the pun intended to indicate the prices were so good it "dazed" the buyers. Obviously several NHL clubs have had their DOLLAR DAZE as well, and the players who were sold for a song were the ones a fog about their treatment.
In the New Millennium, of course, another buzz word applies to such skimpy transactions. They speak of a player being dealt "for a bag of pucks"—meaning the least possible outlay for the buyer.
Perhaps this is a good time to repudiate a popular tale which has been promulgated with more than one twist—but is still fiction. Originally (as always) it involved Eddie Shore and his cheapskate ways. The story goes that he once traded Jake Milford from Springfield to the Buffalo Bisons for two goal nets—and was upset when he discovered they were used. Problem is—Jake Milford never played for either Springfield or Buffalo. The later version has John Baby as the pawn, dispensed to Victoria—for one Art Ross net—and that it was only one because he wasn't worth two. But he didn't commence his pay-for-play tenure until long after Shore's reign, and didn't skate for either Springfield or Victoria.
After all that depressing revelation it may be appropriate to close with a light-hearted element to this essay.


Usually when I tell people that I like to cook healthy food, the first thing they ask is for ways to cook quinoa (pronounced keen-wa). Common complaints are that it is soggy or that their husbands won't eat it. My first suggestion for non-lovers of quinoa is to eat it cold, in salads, instead of hot and as a substitute for rice. If you want to make your rice dishes healthier, use brown rice or wheat berries. When quinoa is cold, it has a better texture and is not soggy. Also, it tends to be a feature of the salad instead of the focus. The reason that so many people are interested in eating quinoa is because it is the new fad food of the health world, even though it has been eaten by people in South America for thousands of years. It is called the "mother grain" (even though it is actually a seed) because it provides all the necessary amino acids to make a complete protein.
On another note, I received a request from my sister-in-law to make something that contains Japanese long eggplant. She is lucky enough to live in Los Angeles and grow fresh produce in her garden year round. Apparently at the moment, she has a glut of these in her garden and needs inspiration. Many of us in the northern parts are dealing with a similar predicament with zucchini and yellow summer squash. Luckily for everyone, this recipe includes both of those vegetables as well as a couple of other gems from your summer garden.
This salad will serve at least three as a main course or six as a side. It also saves really well, so you will be able to eat it for lunch the next day, too.
1. I do not cook quinoa the way most people do. Most people cook it like rice, but I find that makes it soggy. Instead, I cook it kind of like pasta. Put 1/2 cup of quinoa in a medium-sized pot with a pinch of salt and a bunch of water. Bring the water to a boil, and then immediately lower it to a gentle simmer. Simmer the quinoa for about 10 - 15 minutes until the little "tails" start to uncurl. You will know it when you see it. Taste the quinoa to make sure that it is not hard. When it has finished cooking, drain it and transfer it to a large salad bowl. Mix in 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread the quinoa up the sides of the bowl so that it has more surface area to cool down. This way, the excess moisture will evaporate away. If you run it under cold water to cool it, it will end up soggy.
2. Cut the zucchini and the eggplant lengthwise into quarters and then slice into crescents. If you are using regular eggplant, I usually don't use the very seedy part as it can be bitter and it gets soggy (apparently the goal of the day is to avoid sogginess!). If you are using a Japanese eggplant, you can use the whole thing. Sauté both in 1 Tbsp of olive oil with the Italian herbs and salt and pepper until they lose their crispiness - about 8 minutes.
3. Remove the zucchini/eggplant from the heat and add 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar to the pan. Let cool.
4. At this point, you can cut the tomatoes in half, crumble the feta cheese, cut the avocado, dice the olives, and chiffonade (cut) the basil. To cut the avocado, run your knife around pit lengthwise and then twist both halves to separate them, just like you would a peach. Save the half that has the pit in it in the fridge for another use (leave the pit in to prevent browning). Cut the remaining half in half again and then peel the skin away. If the skin does not peel easily, it is probably not ripe enough, although occassionally you will get one that just has thick brittle skin.
5. Add the cooled zucchini/eggplant to the bowl with the quinoa.
6. Top with the tomatoes and the feta.
7. Add the avocado cubes and the olive pieces.
8. Sprinkle the fresh basil on top.
9. Serve with additional balsamic vinegar, if necessary. Enjoy!
1. The first time I made this salad, I did not include avocado. Then, Scott decided that he wanted to cut dairy out of his diet, so he suggested adding avocado instead of the feta. Quite honestly, I thought it wouldn't work, but it did. Then, he decided that he wasn't cutting dairy out of his diet anymore, so we started to include both feta and avocado in the salad. It's up to you. Same with any other ingredient - if you don't like olives, leave them out!
2. You can add white beans or cubes of chicken to make this a more substantial meal.
3. You can serve this salad over lettuce greens for even more nutrition (I usually do).
4. You can serve this hot or cold. If you serve it hot (maybe with chicken), just throw everything together before the quinoa and zucchini/eggplant cool. You might not want to add the avocado if you are serving it hot. You can always add the avocado the next day when you eat the leftovers cold.
5. You can make this in advance. If you are making it in advance, put everything together except the tomatoes and the avocado - add them at the last minute.
1. With the leftover avocado, you can add it to another salad, or you can make avocado toast: whole wheat toast, mayo, avocado, salt, and pepper - yum. If you don't eat mayo, leave it out.
1. When selecting an avocado, you want to pick one that is just a bit soft, like a peach. If they are all hard as a rock, you will have to leave it on the counter for a few days to ripen. The really hard ones can take 5 days. Usually, they will ripen in two to three.
2. When picking an eggplant, make sure that it is firm and not soft. If you are using a regular eggplant, the smaller ones have fewer seeds. Also, the ones that are longer have fewer seeds. The ones that are fat have more seeds. If you get an older eggplant with more seeds, you can just cut them out, or you can get rid of the bitterness by cutting the eggplant in half, liberally salting each cut side, leaving the eggplant at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then rinsing the juice and seeds away. You will then have to dry it with a paper towel. Honestly, I have never needed to do this. I just don't use the seedy part because I usually have more than enough eggplant for this recipe.
3. Quinoa can be white, red, or black. It doesn't matter which one you use. However, some are pre-washed and some are not. If you buy in bulk or the package does not say "pre-washed", make sure you rinse the quinoa thoroughly before using. It is covered with natural saponin (which tastes like soap) so that the plant can protect itself from pests.
Whether you are getting your ingredients from your garden, the farmers market, or the grocery store, this salad is a great way to make the most of your seasonal produce!
I've just cut and pasted all the ingredient lists onto a page that I can print out and carry along to the grocery store. It occurs to me now that I need to stock my cupboards with some "Shannon cooking" basics... I'll start with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, but wonder about honey, white wine vinegar, Italian dried mixed herbs... are these all ingredients that you use often? What others do you recommend having on hand all the time?
Yes, these are ingredients that I use often. I am trying to write these posts in an order that will allow you to slowly stock your pantry with useful ingredients without having to purchase too many at one time. For that reason, you might want to buy a larger size so that you have better cost savings as well as some to spare for future recipes. Balsamic, white wine vinegar, and olive oil can always be used on any green salad as a dressing. Honey helps to cut the vinegar in the dressing. Italian herbs can be used with several vegetables and in pasta dishes.
YUM!! Thanks! Not only do I have a pile of eggplant, our garden is overflowing with zucchini too!

A: All you need is:
$('input[value="Canada"]')

See here for more information

A: You may try this to select the radio that contains value=Canada
$('input:radio[value="Canada"]').prop('checked', 1);

DEMO.
Update : An id must be unique, changed id to class, like class=group, check the updated fiddle.
HTML: (notice different classes with same value)
<input class="group" type="radio" value="Canada" name="SpecialTerms"></input>
<input class="group" type="radio" value="USA" name="SpecialTerms"></input>

Los Saleros son el remanente de una antigua laguna situada al norte del término municipal de Villena (Alicante), en la partida de Las Chozas. Fue desecada mediante la acequia del Rey en 1803, a la misma vez que la laguna de Villena, ya que sus aguas, muy salobres, perjudicaban la salud pública. Estas salinas recibían antiguamente el nombre de El Angostillo y eran propiedad del concejo de la ciudad, como aparecen citados en la Relación enviada a Felipe II en 1575:

En la actualidad forman dos grupos, llamados Salero Nuevo de la Fortuna y Salero Viejo de la Redonda. Sus aguas se aprovechan para recuperar la sal que llevan.

Raising Awareness about Mental Health and Farming
Raising Awareness about Mental Health in Farming
Helping to Remove Stigma and Support Hopefulness
NEWS January 8 2019
Ontario's Government for the People has launched a public awareness campaign to highlight available resources to support farmer's mental health and encourage them to seek help when they need it. The campaign began on January 7, 2019.
Michael Tibollo, MPP for Vaughan-Woodbridge made the announcement today on behalf of Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ernie Hardeman.
"Our government cares about the well-being of our farmers and farm families and recognizes they face unique mental health challenges associated with running a farm business. We want them to know they're not alone and it's OK to reach out for help," said Tibollo.
As part of the campaign, Minister Hardeman held a roundtable with members of the agricultural community and had a candid discussion on mental health issues in the sector on January 7, 2019.
"Farming can be a tough business, one that sometimes takes a toll on farmers and their families and yet we all know people who have been reluctant to ask for help," said Hardeman. "We want to address the stigma that still surrounds mental health, and help people find the resources that can make a difference."
Several stress mitigation resources are available, including Ontario's province-wide Mental Health Helpline (1-866-531-2600), Crisis Line (211) and Distress Centres. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs also supports a number of programs to help farmers, including research to evaluate mental health needs for farmers and farm business risk management programs to cover loss and damage.
This is part of the government's commitment to invest $3.8 billion over the next 10 years to develop and implement a comprehensive and connected mental health and addictions strategy. This is the biggest commitment to mental health in provincial history.
The province will continue to make mental health a priority and work toward creating an Ontario where everyone is fully supported in their journey toward mental wellness.
"If you are a farmer who is having mental health challenges we encourage you to reach out for help. You are not alone," said Tibollo.
Resources are listed on the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs website.

This paper studies how income inequality affects the probability of signing free trade agreements (FTAs) in a political economy framework. The median voter approach to FTA formation within a Heckscher-Ohlin framework predicts that an increase in inequality lowers the desirability of an FTA if the partner country is relatively labor abundant, ceteris paribus, and raises the desirability of such an agreement if the partner country is relatively capital abundant. The lobbying model based on the argument of the free rider problem, however, offers the opposite predictions. This paper proposes a duration analysis for bilateral FTA panel data and finds strong support for the predictions from the median voter model.

Texas students will return to school in-person in the fall, Abbott says
According to the Texas Tribune, Gov. Greg Abbott told lawmakers Thursday morning that public schools will open for in-person learning at the start of the school year.
DALLAS - Students in Texas will be allowed to return to their classrooms in August.
School districts will not be required to mandate masks for students or test students for COVID-19 symptoms. Districts will also be allowed to offer alternative options for families that don't yet feel safe in a classroom, the governor said.
"It will be safe for Texas public school students, teachers, and staff to return to school campuses for in-person instruction this fall. But there will also be flexibility for families with health concerns so that their children can be educated remotely, if the parent so chooses," the Texas Education Agency said in a statement.
Garland ISD is one of several North Texas districts that's committed to a virtual learning option this fall.
Still, there are a lot of unanswered questions from state officials. How will it be funded? What protocols are in place?
A Frisco ISD notice to parents alluded to some displeasure in how Thursday's information was released, saying it may have caused confusion and anxiety for families.
Frisco ISD Superintendent Dr. Mike Waldrip says the district has been waiting for additional guidance from the TEA before finalizing plans for the upcoming school and that "it is unfortunate that the state decided to release this information to the media while having districts wait until next Tuesday to receive details."
The TEA tells FOX 4 that Tuesday's announcement will be comprehensive and will give much control to local districts. It's sending more than 50 million masks to schools across the state, as well as additional PPE. Still, it will not require students wear masks or be checked for COVID-19 symptoms, leaving parents torn.
Teacher's organization skeptical about plan to return to school in August
The largest statewide teacher's organization, the Texas American Federation of Teachers, is skeptical to say the least. President Zeph Cappo talks to Good Day about the Texas Education Agency's plan for students and teachers to return to class in the fall.
Rena Honea, president of Alliance AFT, the Dallas ISD teacher's union, says staff is concerned.
"So the district has to look at two or three different plans or models that could be implemented, depending on what the specifics of the guidelines are from the state," she said. "I think for educators they know that the face to face is the most effective way to instruct students. But because of the safety concerns, they're really concerned about that."
Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Kent Scribner said feedback from parents helped the district make the decision to provide options for every student and family. But, both virtual learning and in-person study will be very different for students. Virtual courses will be more robust with higher expectations and traditional classrooms may have fewer students with social distancing guidelines.
RELATED: Fort Worth ISD to offer in-person or online learning option for fall
Fort Worth ISD superintendent talks about fall learning options
There is a new meaning for the term school choice for parents in the Fort Worth Independent School District. They will be asked to choose between in-person or virtual learning opportunities for the fall. Superintendent Dr. Kent Scribner explains.
In an interview with FOX 4's Good Day Thursday morning, Scribner said students in Fort Worth ISD might be required to wear masks.
"Certainly we will be following our social distancing protocols. They will have PPE, mouth coverings, mask coverings. Safety and security remains our number one priority not only for students but also for faculty and staff," he said.
Dallas ISD has already purchased Plexiglass dividers for classrooms and lunchrooms, as well as face shields for classroom time.
"Because facial expressions tell a lot in an instructional setting that would be very important. That's why we decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and order those shields for our students," Superintendent Dr. Michael Hinojosa said.
The TEA says it is possible that some local districts can make their own face mask requirement. A more comprehensive outline will be released on Tuesday.

Q: convert date format from d/m/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd in javascript I am trying to convert a timestamp from d/m/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd through JavaScript. Here is my code.
        var d = new Date();
        d.setDate(d.getDate()-5);
        temp = d.toLocaleString({minimumIntegerDigits: 2, useGrouping:false}).split(',')[0].split("/").reverse().join("-");
        console.log(temp)

I am getting output like this 2016-5-5, but what I am suppose to get is 2016-05-05. I tried options like minimumIntegerDigits with toLocaleString but its not working.
Thanks in advance.

A: try this
d.toLocaleString().split(',')[0].split("/").map( function(val, index, arr){
   if (index < arr.length - 1)
   {
     return ("0" + val).slice(-2);
   }
   return val;
}).reverse().join("-");

DEMO

var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate() - 5);

var output = d.toLocaleString().split(',')[0].split("/").map(function(val, index, arr) {
  if (index < arr.length - 1) {
    return ("0" + val).slice(-2);
  }
  return val;
}).reverse().join("-");

alert( output )

A: Use this
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
   var yyyy = this.getFullYear().toString();
   var mm = (this.getMonth()+1).toString(); // getMonth() is zero-based
   var dd  = this.getDate().toString();
   return yyyy + '-' + (mm[1]?mm:"0"+mm[0])+ '-' + (dd[1]?dd:"0"+dd[0]); // padding
  };

d = new Date();
d.yyyymmdd();

Mankind in the Making
Echo Library, 2006 - Literary Collections - 188 pages
There are in Great Britain three main interdependent systems of home tradition undergoing modification and readjustment. They date from the days before mechanism and science began their revolutionary intervention in human affairs, and they derive from the three main classes of the old aristocratic, agricultural, and trading state, namely, the aristocratic, the middle, and the labour class. There are local, there are even racial modifications, there are minor classes and subspecies, but the rough triple classification will serve. In America the dominant home tradition is that of the transplanted English middle class. The English aristocratic tradition has flourished and faded in the Southern States

Mankind in the Making (Annotated)
The Inheritance of Personality and Ability: Research Methods and Findings
Raymond Bernard Cattell
A New Morality from Science: Beyondism
H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, England, the son of an unsuccessful merchant. After a limited education, he was apprenticed to a dry-goods merchant, but soon found he wanted something more out of life. He read widely and got a position as a student assistant in a secondary school, eventually winning a scholarship to the College of Science in South Kensington, where he studied biology under the British biologist and educator, Thomas Henry Huxley. After graduating, Wells took several different teaching positions and began writing for magazines. When his stories began to sell, he left teaching to write full time. Wells's first major novel, The Time Machine (1895), launched his career as a writer, and he began to produce a steady stream of science-fiction tales, short stories, realistic novels, and books of sociology, history, science, and biography, producing one or more books a year. Much of Wells's work is forward-looking, peering into the future of prophesy social and scientific developments, sometimes with amazing accuracy. Along with French writer Jules Verne, Wells is credited with popularizing science fiction, and such novels as The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds (1898) are still widely read. Many of Wells's stories are based on his own experiences. The History of Mr. Polly (1910) draws on the life of Wells's father. Kipps (1905) uses Wells's experience as an apprentice, and Love and Mr. Lewisham (1900) draws on Wells's experiences as a school teacher. Wells also wrote stories showing how the world could be a better place. One such story is A Modern Utopia (1905). As a writer, Wells's range was exceptionally wide and his imagination extremely fertile. While time may have caught up with him (many of the things he predicted have already come to pass), he remains an interesting writer because of his ability to tell a lively tale.

Solving the Mystery of Virtual Immersive Theater with CtrlAlt_Repeat
"I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the most fun I've ever had solving a mystery," Kingdom of Pavement editorial assistant Lex Schultz tells me after their experience in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Symmetric Mailshot, an incredible immersive mystery from the UK-based theater company CtrlAlt_Repeat.
I echoed her sentiments as well — I had also been to the virtual show, and it rivaled some of the best in-person immersive shows I've attended here in the US.
This Sherlock mystery begins as you "attend" a virtual webinar gone wrong, with Watson desperately trying to figure out where Sherlock has gone. It turns out, he's forgotten all about the webinar and is in search of a cat. So, Watson improvises — let's find a case and that will be the webinar! What unfolds is a delightful mystery put on by the incredibly talented cast of CtrlAlt_Repeat, directed by David Alwyn and a story by Sid Phoenix.
I had a fun conversation with actor/director David Alwyn and actor/writer Sid Phoenix, two of the masterminds behind this immersive Sherlock experience, and and also founding members of the quarantine theatre company CtrlAlt_Repeat, of which Sid is Artistic Director.
Here's our chat — while reading, I encourage you to solve the mystery of why you haven't been to one of their clever shows yet.
Zooming for Clues
CtrlAlt_Repeat has put on a variety of shows, including Midsummer Night's Stream and The Importance of BCC'ing Earnest. The Symmetric Mailshot, however, marks their first foray into virtual immersive theater.
As with every CtrlAlt_Repeat production, each actor in the company takes turns directing a show, and almost every production marks an actor's directorial debut.
David Alwyn's directorial debut just happened to also be in the company's first immersive show — and he'd have to construct a show that could be done over Zoom.
He wasn't daunted, though: "This medium has inherent intimacy," David told me. "You're seeing people through screens where they're sitting three feet away. In person, being that close would be uncomfortable. But over Zoom, you get to see what they're doing at all times."
David went to Sid for help with the framework of the show, and Sid built out a two-hour mystery. The initial script started a lot darker than the show ended up being.
"I was lying in bed thinking that's not why people watch our shows," Sid said of the decision to lighten up the script and make the mystery more fun. "David was like it's a webinar that goes off the rails. I thought — what if he's chasing a cat. From there, David assigned the different roles."
Sid used the structure of tabletop role playing games to inform how he built out the world and what information was given to the different actors -- and what was left up to each cast member to improvise.
"We basically bashed out the lumps from the rough iron," David said of the process of building the show from scratch. "Rehearsals were about talking through what we were going to do. We didn't see what the show would be until is was run for the first time."
While seeing people in their homes over Zoom was intimate, there was also a barrier to overcome: getting people to participate. But as they started the show, they crafted ways to encourage audiences to start to turn on their cameras.
"We eased people in, giving them permission to interact," David said about the design of the show.
But while Zoom provides features like break-out rooms to throw audiences in other scenes with other characters, there's also challenges to using this video conferencing software to tell a story.
"The limitations of Zoom have made some of our theatrical choices necessary," David said. "Because we use breakout rooms that have to end at the same time, every scene is timed."
"The fact that it all works is all in David's direction," Sid added.
David's quick to praise his team: "The cast we have is a gift, they're so empathic. Even the people who have never done immersive before, taken to it like ducks to water."
The cast's comfort with the improvisational format of immersive theater is key to the success of the show. Sid elaborated: "People know how to walk the line of enough banter to keep people on their toes — and come up with witty comebacks — without the audience ever feeling ashamed or embarrassed. If you take the approach of a comedian to a heckler and make fun of someone too harshly, you've killed the game for that audience member. David knows how to direct our cast along those lines."
It's true — even as I made my way through the different breakout rooms and engaged with the cast, I was impressed by their ability to be simultaneously welcoming and on their toes.
At one point during the show, my cat jumped on my lap, and James Dillon who played Watson saw (despite having 30-40 screens of audience members to monitor) and called out — "the cat! Is that the missing cat?" I laughed and replied, no — it was just my cat who was very eager to be a part of the mystery.
Tackling Immersive Theater in Quarantine
While the show feels completely cohesive as a viewer, there's a massive amount of coordination and choreography that goes on behind-the-scenes to give the audience a seamless experience.
Because of the nature of immersive theater, the improvisational challenge adds a new dimension — especially as the audience needs to discover the clues on their own.
"Whenever there's a hole in narrative, we're on WhatsApp group, asking certain actors — can you instead give this info instead?" David said.
"We have a WhatsApp group that's essentially the back of house paneling system," Sid explained. "In one show, we had to move a clue in another scene, and the actor had to find a new way to deliver it. There's a lot going on behind the scenes."
The clue-finding adds an extra challenge — especially when audience members discover things that weren't necessarily meant to be clues, and the team have to roll with it. For example, in one of the shows an audience member found a fake email address for the MP, and ended up sending an email to it — and getting other audience members to do the same.
Sid had to scramble and not only run tech, but also find a way to respond to all the incoming emails in-character.
"It's the idea of granularity," Sid said. "Nothing is more guaranteed to break an experience of world than if the audience tries something that they think should have an impact on the world around them and doesn't. That would immediately break the experience."
So, not only do David and Sid and their team have to choreograph a massive combination of choices — the audience can explore up to 64 possible permutations in Symmetric Mailshot — but they also put immense care in how every single audience member experiences every aspect of their world, from interactions with the characters to hidden email addresses.
The result of that? A beautiful, lighthearted mystery with a talented team of creatives who give their audience a unique experience night after night.
What's Next for CtrlAlt_Repeat
As quarantine continues, creatives like David and Sid and their company CtrlAlt_Repeat continue to find new ways to adapt. They're continuing to expand their virtual season of performances, both immersive and more "traditional" theater reimagined for our screens.
You still have time to catch the last runs of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Symmetric Mailshot, so grab your tickets before they're gone!
