Brand development is key to what our company does. We achieve this through top line marketing strategies and a passionate team.
We develop our brands by addressing the markets needs and opportunities, identifying our key product benefits and USP's, defining our packaging design and pricing, our route to market and creating brand building initiatives and promotions to achieve our goals. We look in for the best partners and believe in sustainable relationships. Our strengths and services include importation, product development, production, logistics and sales.
We aim for the long lasting success of all the products we develop, import and launch.
Before launching or distributing any product we will define a launch strategy. Based on target audience, market and product life phase we identify the right channels for launches and expansion of sales.
Reliable distribution is essential when launching a new product. Empty shelves don't make anyone money. That's why we only work with the best logistics partners. On top of that we have a 24/7 backup system, so we can find a solution quickly when we need one.
The best products are often made by inspiring companies. They have unique identities, an inspiring philosophy and the drive to change or define the future. These ambitions are attributes consumers can identify with. The local identity, and all local communications have to be in line with the global identity of the brand.
Every new product needs sales support. Whether it is sampling or a regional, local or national ad campaign; in store, outdoor or Public Relations, for every product launch we'll define an appropriate launch strategy.
A sustainable future with tasty food that is a bit better for everyone. That's a nice future to work on.
For successfully introducing and selling delicious, natural products you need unique people. You need people who understand how to sell products. Sales experts who know who to talk to and what for, who know where to find the target audiences and through which channels to reach them. People who understand how to negotiate and how to draw up contracts that a mutually beneficial.
You also need people understand your products or your new concepts. Who can translate not just the words on the side of your pack but the spirit of your brand. Who know which mediato use to attract the right people to your brand and your product.

Polly Young-Eisendrath
Young-Eisendrath at the Center for Jungian Studies of South Florida
Polly Young-Eisendrath (born 1947) is an American psychologist, feminist, author, teacher, speaker, Jungian analyst, Zen Buddhist, and the founder of Enlightening Conversations: Buddhism and Psychoanalysis Meeting in Person.
She has been a featured speaker at the Aspen Ideas Festival,[1] TED-X,[2] and is the recipient of the Otto Weininger Award for Lifetime Achievement in Psychoanalysis. Young-Eisendrath is the originator of Dialogue Therapy, designed to help couples and others transform chronic conflict into greater closeness and development. In 1983, she and her late husband, Ed Epstein, designed Dialogue Therapy as a new form of couples therapy that combined psychoanalysis, Jungian theory, psychodrama, and gender theory. She has published two books on Dialogue Therapy (1984 and 1993), detailing its theory and methods for clinicians and the general public. She has now re-visioned and updated Dialogue Therapy to include the distinctive combination of psychodrama, Object Relations, and Mindfulness. On January 15, 2019, Shambhala Publications released Love Between Equals: Relationship as a Spiritual Path, a book that offers her vision of personal love as a spiritual path and draws on her experience of 30 years as a Dialogue Therapist and Jungian analyst. She maintains a clinical practice of Jungian analytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in Vermont, United States.

3 Education and career
Life and career[edit]
Raised as a Catholic, Polly Young-Eisendrath was born and grew up in Akron, Ohio, where she graduated first in her class from Akron East High School. As a teenager, she worked as a long distance telephone operator.
Young-Eisendrath attended Ohio University where she met, among other scholars, Huston Smith. Smith's work in comparative religions had a profound and transformative influence on her, leading her to search for a religion that was not fundamentally ritualistic or dogmatic, but experiential and connected with daily life.
Buddhism[edit]
Young-Eisendrath began Zen training in 1970 at the Rochester Zen Center with Philip Kapleau when she became a student of Shinzen Young in 1998. She is currently a Mindfulness and Dharma teacher in the tradition of Shinzen Young, and practices both Soto Zen and Vipassanā, and has also practiced Phowa with Ayang Rinpoche and Anyen Rinpoche. She directs Waysmeet Sangha, a friendship-based Buddhist sangha, which she hosts in Vermont.
Education and career[edit]
Young-Eisendrath attended Ohio University (OU) from 1965–1970 and graduated with a major in English literature. While at OU, she was an Ohio Fellow and a student in the Honors College. She earned a Masters of Arts from Goddard College, a Masters of Social Work in Clinical Social Work and a Ph.D. in Developmental and Counseling Psychology from Washington University. She is also a diplomate Jungian analyst and completed her training through the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. She has maintained an independent clinical practice as a psychologist since 1982: in Pennsylvania from 1982 to 1994 and in Vermont since 1992. She has been a clinical associate professor in Psychiatry at the University of Vermont Medical College since 1994 and is a clinical supervisor at the Norwich University Counseling Service.
A prolific writer, Young-Eisendrath has published 15 books and numerous academic articles. She is influential in the fields of Jungian analysis, feminist psychology, and the application of Zen Buddhist concepts to psychoanalytic theory. Translated into 12 languages, her books have been characterized as "scholarly and thoughtful, yet totally accessible",[3] and "incisive, persuasive, practical and wise".[4]
With her late husband, Ed Epstein, she created Dialogue Therapy for Couples, a time-limited couples therapy done by one or two therapists, designed to help couples to handle their conflicts respectfully through the use of a combination of psychoanalysis, mindfulness and psychodrama. Epstein died of Alzheimer's disease in 2014 and Young-Eisendrath's memoir of the experience,[5] narrates the process of the disease from the lens of a practicing Buddhist, offering insight into methods of coping with loss, death and grief.
Young-Eisendrath is the director of the Mustard Seed Project: Research and Application of a Buddhist Model for Transforming Loss and Bereavement], and the founder and director of Enlightening Conversations: Psychoanalysts and Buddhist Teachers Talking about Enlightenment and Awakening], which was described by Mark Matouse in Psychology Today as "fascinating, potentially life-changing."[6]

Here's a bow-WOW from the world of science: Dogs' acute sense of smell may mean they can sniff out people carrying the virus — say, before they get on an airplane.
[from StudyFinds.org]
Dogs trained to detect people infected with COVID-19 – by sniffing their armpits
MAISONS-ALFORT, France — While a vaccine for the coronavirus will help stop the pandemic's spread, finding everyone who may be carrying the virus is still an issue. Luckily, man's best friend is now on the case. Researchers in France are helping to specially train dogs to detect people infected with COVID-19 — by sniffing their armpits.
A new study that has seen pilot programs spring up around the world has discovered that dogs can sniff out coronavirus in the sweat of humans. Thanks to their famously acute sense of smell, dogs have been rooting out drugs, explosives, and even successfully pick up diseases like cancer for years.

The French scientists are now showing how our furry friends can also help save lives during the pandemic by spotting virus clues. An early experiment suggested canines could be between 75 and 100 percent effective at detecting the disease with their noses.
Dogs paw-trolling airports for COVID?
The technique has already been piloted in several countries including the UEA, Lebanon, Finland, Australia, and elsewhere. Travelers may already have seen the specially trained dogs at some airports, but researchers are still trying to prove without a doubt that dogs can pick up the scent before the method is fully adopted.
The team behind the study hope their findings will mean dogs could help with COVID aid in parts of the world without the infrastructure for expensive mass testing programs. The loveable animals could be used anywhere however, with the hope that invasive nasal swabs could be replaced by a simple sweat sample taken from under the armpit for a dog to sniff.
Mass testing alternative?
Professor Dominique Grandjean, from the National Veterinary School of Alfort in France, says the dogs could check a large number of people in a short period of time.
"The results are good and I'm happy, really happy," Grandjean says in a statement, per SWNS. "It is a success technically and scientifically and it's surprising because we didn't know what we were going to have as results."
During the study, which started in March, the researchers recruited six dogs previously trained to sniff out bombs, colon cancer, or were used in search and rescue missions and re-trained to detect COVID-19. (Image credit: National Veterinary School of Alfort)
"We have been validated by the World Health Organization and they have given us a bit of money which is good. "Probably the country which is the most advanced now is the UAE, where they have dogs in three international airports. They are deploying some mobile units to go to the villages and to the people that might be more exposed to the virus," the professor explains.
"For us here the idea was, of course, the airports but I can imagine a small city having a couple of dogs and just saying to the population 'you can be tested whenever you want.' You just come and put a swab under your armpit and give that to the dog and he will tell you yes or no. The dogs would be able to do that very quickly on a large number of people."
Ending the pandemic one sniff at a time
Grandjean adds that dogs could also be used where people are reluctant to have uncomfortable nasal swab tests. During the study, which started in March, the researchers recruited six dogs previously trained to sniff out bombs, colon cancer, or used in search-and-rescue missions and re-trained to detect COVID-19.
They then collected sweat samples from 177 people (95 with COVID-19 and 82 without) and then placed the samples inside cones for the dogs to sniff. In trials, the dogs successfully picked out the infected sweat when examining a line-up of mock and negative samples.
Although the published study is just a "proof of concept" and cannot be taken as absolute proof, Prof. Grandjean and his team have now carried out further studies to validate their results and have more planned in 2021. They have also issued a "practical guide" to other academics to help others in their research and are building up a set of "international training standards" for dogs.
"We have been working with lots of countries. I think we have 20 countries working for us. It's amazing, really amazing," Prof. Grandjean concludes.
The study was published in the online journal PLOS ONE.

Good News Monday: Mammo Mia!
There's a fascinating article in October Vogue magazine about a new device that could change the way health care workers perform breast exams.
Imagine — something faster and more pleasant than squashing your boobs in a giant panini press!
iBreastExam is a handheld cancer screening tool about the size of a travel-sized clothing steamer. Using Cloud technology rather than radiation, the padded electronic sensor can detect abnormal lumps as small as five millimeters. And it only takes a few minutes to assess multiple quadrants in each breast and then store the info.
Already in use across developing countries where access to radiology and conventional mammograms is limited at best, iBreast Exam is now becoming available to primary care physicians and gynecologists in the U.S.
Despite some limitations — e.g., it's unable to detect tiny amounts of calcium that may indicate precancerous cells — the tool's sensitivity is equivalent to a mammogram. For women showing early warning signs, the standard (and proven) mammo would likely be the next step. But for women with healthy indicators, this might be all that's needed.
Good news indeed for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

A new mummy discovery

Move over, Brendan Fraser. We've got a new chapter of The Mummy for you.
Along the banks of the Nile, in the necropolis of Saqqara, archaeologists have discovered ancient Egypt's first completely intact funeral home.
The find by Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities and Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen reveals the first evidence that mummification occurred underground. After removing 42 tons of fill, archaeologists arrived at the bottom of a 40-foot shaft to discover a roomy, vaulted chamber. The discovery offers a unique look at "the sacred rites—and gritty realities—of mummification," Andrew Curry writes for Nat Geo. The facility had dedicated areas for organ removal, embalming, and burial.
Ancient Egyptians believed the body had to remain intact to house the soul during the afterlife, and embalming was a mixture of holy rite and medical procedure. The process was a carefully orchestrated ritual performed on each of the 70 days it took to turn a dead person into a mummy. (Above, a peek into the coffin of a royal family member).
Few workshops dedicated to mummification have been discovered. Egyptologist Ramadan Hussein says the discovery of the burial complex, which dates back to 600 B.C., offers new clues about the death rituals and business practices of the ancient Egyptians.
The team exploring the subterranean chambers (below) opened four sealed, 2,600-year-old sarcophagi to unlock secrets forgotten since the age of the Pharaohs. The exploration and discovery will be broadcast in a four-part documentary series, Kingdom of the Mummies, premiering Tuesday, May 12, on the National Geographic Channel.
Oh, and Hollywood, if you're listening: Brendan Fraser is up for a movie reboot.

Eating to live: Before a celebration last year in Arzana, Sardinia, Franca Piras' family prepares "culurgiones," a traditional pasta from the region. The mountainous area is famous for being a Blue Zone, one of the six areas in the world with the highest percentage of centenarians in good health. "I've learned," says photographer Andrea Frazzetta, "that longevity is not only linked to our genetic heritage but also to the quality of the environment in which we live, the food we eat, and, not least, to the social well-being that derives from being connected with our own community."

It was 50 years ago today: Members of the Ohio National Guard killed four antiwar demonstrators at Kent State University in Ohio on May 4, 1970 (above). Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch argues that the killings, which galvanized further antiwar protests, reverberate to this day. Historian Jill Lepore, writing for the New Yorker, says the nation still needs a political settlement to heal divisions. She noted Martin Luther King, Jr.'s prediction, three years earlier, that unless America united, "we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight." Lepore concludes: "It turns out that the corridor of time is longer than he could have known."
Almost another statistic: Baseball fans know that slugger Babe Ruth hit 714 homers, but in 1918 he was saved from death in an early wave of the influenza that ended up killing 675,000 Americans. He caught the flu that spring, likely from fraternizing with soldiers from an early hot spot, Camp Devens, west of Boston. Recovering only after intensive hospitalization, Ruth led the Boston Red Sox to their last championship for 86 years. By that autumn, a more virulent form of the flu had taken hold in Boston, and there were no parades marking the World Series victory, Smithsonian reports.
On the rise: Stay-at-home America has found itself baking bread, raising demand for yeast. So many supermarkets were out of the microbial staple that when scientist Sudeep Agarwala made a yeast-harvesting video on a whim, it went viral. Cynthia Gorney reports on the do's—and one important don't—for making your own yeast. A footnote: Agarwala has received photos from grateful makers who have followed his recipe. "In a terrible, scary time," Gorney writes, "these photos, portraits of food that strangers made using Agarwala's yeast-harvesting advice, are a thing to behold."
The biggest chariot battle: Were Romans involved? Nope. Luis Alberto Ruiz writes that Egypt and the Hittites clashed in 1275 B.C. in modern-day Turkey in what Egypt celebrated as a victory but modern historians now considered a draw. Who were the Hittites? They ruled over Turkey and northern Syria—and were known as masters of the chariot, Ruiz writes for History magazine.
The big takeaway

Getting home the long way: Legendary sportswriter and historian William C. Rhoden was stuck in Arizona as the pandemic took hold in March. Preferring not to fly for his own safety, he ended up driving back to the East Coast, talking to folks along the way by phone and by Zoom. "The road has always been my easy chair," Rhoden writes for ESPN's The Undefeated and Nat Geo. "For seven days, my car became a movable quarantine on a trip that stretched over 2,300 miles and through nine states. As games were canceled and the nation was held hostage, the highways became an ally."

Advice from Rosie the Riveter: These elders worked in World War II in factories (above in Tennessee in 1943) while the men were shipped off to fight. Lionized in American history for their resilience, they also proved how limited the idea of "women's work" was. We asked several surviving WWII "Rosies" what they would counsel Americans living through tough times today. Here are three things they said: 1) Use you own brain; 2) Check on your neighbors; 3) Know you have something to offer. Readers, as the 75th anniversary of V-E day approaches, do you have stories of resilience you could share, family tales of gumption and adaptability during wartime or from more contemporary challenges? Email us or share you words or images on social media with the hashtag #StoriesofResilience.

The food fighters
Current Edition, Features
By Gary Tippet
Professor Timothy Reeves
You might say Tim Reeves was born to agriculture. His family came from Kingston on Thames, just 15km from London, but in the last year of World War II his pregnant mother was evacuated from the heavily-bombed city.
"I was actually born in a farming village and lived my first few months of life on a farm," he says. "I'm thinking that's where I caught the farming bug."
An interest in biology took him into agriculture at the University of Nottingham and a talent for rugby brought him to Rutherglen in north-east Victoria after a State Department of Agriculture official correctly guessed he could transition to the indigenous game and knew the local team was looking for players.
Now, 150 games later, the former Director-General of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre and now Professor in Residence at the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Science, Dookie, Reeves advocates "sustainable intensification" – making agriculture more sustainable and also more productive to meet global nutritional needs.
"We have to have much greater diversity in our farming systems. I'm confident we can meet these challenges because we're as good as any country in the world at scientists and farmers working together to help adapt our agricultural systems."
Dr Dorin Gupta
Dorin Gupta believes she was blessed to grow up in Himachal Pradesh in the Himalayan ranges of north India. "I was born and brought up in nature," she says. "I've seen how nature works in harmony."
Dr Gupta moved to Australia in 2012 and is senior lecturer in sustainable agriculture at Dookie campus where she focuses on resource-efficient production systems with the inclusion of technology, pre-breeding and breeding to increase disease and drought-resistance. She is researching unexplored wild lentil seeds for disease and drought-resistant genes that have been bred out of commercial crops.
"The world is primarily reliant on three major crops: wheat, rice and corn. We have narrowed down the diversity of crops so much. There are more than 50,000 edible plants on Earth, and we are almost totally reliant on a handful, maybe 14 or 15, and those three are the major energy providers for most of the world.
"With the changing environment, we need more diverse and native crops we can tap into current production systems. They won't replace the three staple crops but will be part and parcel of adding more diversity and especially resilience, because you don't have to do much to them – they have been tried and tested by time."
Professor Philip Batterham
Philip Batterham was struck by a mural he saw on Facebook recently. It showed a honeybee with the grim promise: "When we go, we're taking you all with us."
Some scientists have warned that we face an 'insect apocalypse'. A 2014 analysis of 452 species estimated that insect abundance had dropped 45 per cent over 40 years. In April this year, a study warned four in 10 insect species could become extinct. And, echoing that bee on Facebook, Harvard entomologist E O Wilson warned we could follow. Without insects, other life, and humanity "would mostly disappear … And within a few months". Widespread use of insecticides, particularly neonicotinoids, has been blamed.
Professor Batterham, a global leader in the genetics of insecticide resistance at the School of BioSciences' Bio21 Institute, has devoted his career to better and alternative pest control and, lately, to the downstream effects of low doses of insecticides on the environment and other insect species.
"But one thing I should say about insecticides is that, while people are looking at their downsides, without them there'd be a whole lot less food in the world," he says. "We cannot just stop using these chemicals; we need to find effective and safe alternatives."
Professor Ary Hoffmann
As a boy on his family's vegetable farm near Christchurch, New Zealand, Ary Hoffmann developed a keen interest in bugs; beetles, wasps and lacewings were everywhere on the farm, some bugs preying on others.
"My father certainly spent a lot of his time spraying," he says, "And I always thought, 'This is crazy, we can't keep going like this'."
Young Ary was ahead of the curve. Now, Melbourne Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne School of BioSciences, and a past president of the Australian Entomological Society, Professor Hoffmann works on integrated pest controls, including bacterial parasites, to block the spread of viruses.
"We can't rely on broad-spectrum pesticides anymore," he says. "They're not selective. You're not just killing one particular pest but a lot of different insects – also the many parasitoid wasps and the beetles that can potentially control the pests. There's a whole lot of good guys out there.
"We need to change our thinking and come up with new ways of doing it. But those new ways have to make economic sense, and therein lies the challenge, because people want to pay less for their loaf of bread, not more."
Dr Rachel Carey
One of the attractions that enticed Rachel Carey, when she moved to Melbourne from England 20 years ago, was the city's famed food culture. Now, she is protecting and enhancing that aspect of her adopted home.
A lecturer in food systems at Dookie, Dr Carey was the lead author of Roadmap for a Resilient and Sustainable Melbourne Foodbowl, which outlines the keys – including recycling water and organic waste, and protection of inner farmland viability – to ensuring the fertile fringe continues to provide some of Melbourne's fresh food needs.
Originally working in the field of human-centred design, Dr Carey combined her experience and passion for good food to collaboratively designing food systems that are healthy and sustainable, while designing policy to support that.
"I think we're not really aware of how dependent Melbourne's food culture is on the quality of fresh food that's grown around the city," she says. "I'd like to think future generations will be able to source that same quality of food.
"The consequence of not protecting these areas is we lose our supply of fresh, local food. As we become more dependent on more distant sources of food, we'll have a less resilient food supply."
Associate Professor Alex Johnson
Alex Johnson's interest in plants bloomed early. As a child in Washington DC, he would follow his mother around the backyard helping her plant flowers and vegetables, although his habit of digging them up to see how they were progressing could be annoying.
An interest in human health almost took him to medicine, but he realised he was more attuned to plant biology. At Virginia Tech in the early years of commercialisation of genetically modified crops in the US, he realised he could combine the two, studying how biotechnology could be used to make healthier foods.
Now at the University of Melbourne's School of BioSciences, Dr Johnson and his team are utilising a wide range of biotech strategies to biofortify rice and wheat with essential vitamins and minerals.
Dr Johnson says there is still resistance to GM foods, but believes it is waning. "We've now had 23 years of commercialised GM crops. People ask how many GM meals have been consumed and it's trillions, and not a single health incident from any of them.
"The papaya industry in Hawaii was wiped out by virus decades ago and the only way back was GM. I was in Hawaii recently and made a point of eating a lot of GM papaya. It was delicious."

Geologic and Topographical Influences on Military and Intelligence Operations
█ WILLIAM C. HANEBERG
Geology and topography have placed important constraints on military operations since the beginning of organized warfare. The movement of troops on foot, on horseback, or in motorized vehicles can be hindered by topography and soil conditions. Bedrock type and strength are important factors in the construction of fortifications, the availability of groundwater supplies can control the location of military installations, and mountainous terrain can offer cover to guerilla forces or small groups of operatives. The collection and analysis of geologic information relevant to military operations falls into the discipline of military geology, and military geologic information is often referred to as terrain intelligence.
Two people with knowledge of geology are reported to have participated in Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798. The first military operation guided by terrain analysis, however, was the defeat of Napoleon's troops near the Katzback River in Silesia by the Prussian general von Blucher in 1813. In 1823, the United States Military Academy became one of the first institutions of higher learning to offer instruction in geology. Geologic and topographic considerations continued to play an important role in military operations throughout the nineteenth century, for example at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Union soldiers occupied boulder covered terrain underlain by a hard igneous rock known as diabase, which provided protection from Confederate soldiers advancing unprotected through flat fields underlain by softer shale and sandstone. The first extensive use of geology in military operations was probably during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), when the Russian Army used geologists to provide advice on the construction of fortifications. The use of geologic information became commonplace during World War I and World War II, and included the creation of a military geology branch within the United States Geological Survey. The United States Army Topographic Engineering Center and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) currently provide a variety of products and services directly related to terrain intelligence.
One of the principal concerns of military geologists is trafficability, or the ease with which a landscape can be traversed by troops. An assessment of trafficability requires knowledge of soil types (which are in turn controlled by the underlying bedrock type); the physical, chemical, and biological soil forming processes at work in an area; and meteorological conditions. Arctic areas underlain by permafrost, for example, may be trafficable in winter but impassible in summer when the upper portion melts. Likewise, desert lakebeds known as playas may be trafficable when dry but impassible after a short rainstorm. Trafficability can in some cases be assessed using published topographic maps, geologic reports, and soil surveys. In other cases, reconnaissance forces can use specialized trafficability instrument kits to conduct soil tests and obtain detailed information along potential routes.
Satellite or aircraft-based remote sensing technology can provide the information for terrain analysis and trafficability studies in denied or otherwise inaccessible areas. For example, multispectral satellite imagery can be used to remotely map soil and rock types based on the spectral reflectance of minerals. High-resolution satellite imagery can also be used to visually interpret geologic and topographic conditions. The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, flown in February 2000, used synthetic aperture radar to produce an elevation data set covering 80% of Earth's land surface. The elevation data can be used to create topographic maps or three dimensional images of inaccessible areas for use in terrain analysis, virtual reality based training, flight simulators, and other military applications.
Manual terrain analysis is time consuming and requires the expertize of a trained specialist. The result is typically a map on which terrain is classified into three categories based upon trafficability: go, slow-go, and nogo. Current research is aimed at the creation of computer expert systems that will be able to combine map layers showing roads, soil types, topography, rivers, vegetation, and land use to produce probabilistic estimates of trafficability for specific vehicle types and weather conditions. These results will include estimates of the reliability of calculated trafficability values.
Geology also plays an important role in the survivability or penetrability of fortifications and facilities, particularly those constructed underground. Information about geology, particularly the strength of different rock types, is used in the design of underground structures that must resist conventional attack. Likewise, information about the geologic setting of an enemy facility can be used to select weapons and methods of attack that are most likely to be successful.

Standing in the center of the wrestling ring, hearing the crowd shower him with boos and insults, Ryan Reed can't hide his delight.
It's the goal of the heel, such as Reed, AKA Ryan Remington, to work the crowd into a frenzy.
"As the bad guy, if you're being booed, you're doing something right," Reed said.
The 2014 Boyd graduate and his partner, The Tommy Becker, who make up the Impact Players will wrestle for the Metroplex Wrestling tag team title Saturday against Down To Fight. The match is part of a two-hour show that starts at 8 p.m. at the arena in Bedford.
Reed, 21, grew up a wrestling fan. His mother, Amanda, recalls him wrestling on the trampoline as a child.
After playing football and being a member of one-act play casts in high school, Reed went to college to study theatre. Last year, he decided to take a break from classes and a friend urged him look into the local wrestling association. He soon signed on and started training last February, learning the basics of becoming a wrestler.
While the sport is more live theatre than competition, the moves and the athleticism of the combatants in the ring are real. The contact is also very real.
"All the moves are real. I'm sore right now," Reed said, explaining how he hit his head in training Wednesday.
Injuries like that would leave some to question his sanity and why he would put himself through it. Reed provides a quick response.
"I absolutely love it," Reed said. "I really enjoy it. It's fun. I love doing different things. I don't like a regular job. Going into wrestling, while I'm not making any money now, is just fun. I get to go out there and put on a show. I love entertaining people.
In his short time in the sport, Reed has learned a lot of new moves. Among his top moves is the "bear hug power bomb" in which he picks up an opponent over his head and slams him to the mat.
His character, Ryan Remington, has become more and more over the top in the past year. He now enters the ring in a white jacket and his partner puts on a show removing the sunglasses from the 6-2, 260-pound wrestler. Their tagline, "we're just so good," draws boos from the crowd.
His mother's initial reaction was to yell back at fans screaming at her son.
Reed admits it's common knowledge that the outcome of a match is predetermined, but what takes place in the ring is up the wrestlers. The wrestlers don't find out who is supposed to win a match until the night of the show.
Along with wrestling with the Metroplex Wrestling Association, Reed plans to start hitting additional shows around the state on weekends.
He has dreams of making his way through the ranks and eventually to the WWE.

Cole Beasley: Cowboys receivers will shock people
Published: Aug. 7, 2018 at 08:00 p.m.
Updated: April 2, 2019 at 02:41 p.m.
After cutting ties with Dez Bryant and losing Jason Witten to retirement, the Dallas Cowboys' patchwork receiving corps will enter the upcoming season under the media microscope.
A case can be made, however, that quarterback Dak Prescott might actually benefit from the change. As much of an asset as Witten was in his prime, he moved at a glacial speed last season. As unstoppable as Bryant was a few years back, his playmaking ability evaporated over the past couple of years.
The longest-tenured member of the revamped receivers room believes, in fact, that the Cowboys' passing game will be one of the league's most pleasant surprises in 2018.
Appearing on Tuesday's edition of Inside Training Camp Live, NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin relayed a message from the team's veteran slot receiver.
"Cole Beasley told me to tell everybody," Irvin relayed. "He said, Michael, I know everybody is wondering what we will be doing at the wide-receiver position. But I guarantee you we will shock people."
That is a bold proclamation and easier said than done.
When Prescott drops back to pass, his top receiving threats will be the undersized Beasley, Jaguars castoff Allen Hurns, perennial tease Terrance Williams, Rams draft bust Tavon Austin, third-round rookie Michael Gallup and undrafted second-year tight end Blake Jarwin.
After a career year in 2016, Beasley crashed back to Earth last season, operating as one of the least effective slot receivers in the league. Even if he regains his uncanny rapport with his young quarterback, Prescott will still be left throwing to a cast of third and fourth receivers wedged into bigger roles.
The most intriguing wild cards in Prescott's motley crew are Gallup and Jarwin. If this aerial attack is truly going to send shockwaves through the NFL, Gallup must emerge as an impact threat on the outside while Jarwin pulls off a convincing Witten impression between the numbers.
Even in a disappointing 2017 campaign, the Cowboys fell just shy of the playoffs at 9-7. If the receivers back Beasley's boast throughout the season, they can count on playing for higher stakes when January rolls around.

Q: How to extract each color bar and copy them in a table? I made a diagram to show unique columns with several colors in each, as shown in the picture.
I have hundreds of that to make and I have no idea about how to do that.
I would like to know if it's possible to extract each color bar separately and copy them under "Icons". I am not sure if the word "extract" is the correct term, but I would like to display a raw-image of that color bar.
Maybe a formula?
I am able to use Office Excel and Libreoffice Calc.
Thank you so much.

A: These are instructions to do this manually, but this would be an ideal project to apply VBA and automate these tasks.
The idea is to create each category of stacked bar as its own individual chart, which can then be exported or copied to an image file.
This is based on the "spark lines" concept, which is small, eye-catching graphics embedded within the text of a document, as opposed to large graphics.  MS added some sparklines functionality in recent versions of Office apps, and although MS "spark lines" doesn't support stacked bar chart type, the same thing can still be accomplished with a little work.
Step 1: Select one row of the data and do Insert Chart, stacked bar.

Step 2: Select data and Switch Rows & Columns.

Step 3: Delete the gridlines, axes, chart border, etc., .

Step 4: Expand the Plot Area so that it covers the entire Chart Area, and format the data series to 0% gap width.

Step 5: Apply your colors to each point in the series.

Step 6: Resize the chart to fit on a cell.

Finally now that you have created some ChartObjects you can manipulate them. ChartObjects can be Exported as image files, or copy/paste-special as images, bmp, or enhanced metafiles, etc.

Introducing our LONDON-PARIS 2020 Official Charity Partner – The Little Princess Trust
When a child loses their hair to cancer, The Little Princess Trust will be there with a real hair wig to restore their confidence and identity. The charity believes no child should die of cancer and funds research searching for cures and kinder treatments. And you can help, by joining the HotChillee LONDON-PARIS cycle 2020!
Started in 2006 in memory of 5-year-old Hannah Tarplee who sadly lost her own battle with cancer the previous year, the charity helps those with cancer – up to the age of 24 – with as many wigs as necessary for the duration of their treatment and hair loss. For those aged up to 24 with a non-life-threatening condition which causes hair loss, the charity provides a single wig to help with the associated trauma.
Since its inception, the Trust has given away thousands of wigs and is currently helping in excess of 100 children per month. In addition to free wig provision, the Trust funds research into finding better treatments for childhood cancers. Since 2016, more than £7 million has been invested in almost 50 projects covering a range of childhood cancers. The focus of the research we fund is to improve a young person's chance of survival, but to do so while reducing the side effects from treatment.
Around 10 hair donations are required to make a single wig.
The charity supplies wigs made from donated hair. From receiving hair donations at our office, right through to fitting a wig, each real hair wig costs the charity around £550. The Trust receives thousands of donations of good condition hair from all over the world. Around 10 hair donations are required to make a single wig. The greatest demand is for hair that is over 12"/30cm which will make the popular, longer wigs.
Many people choose to support the charity by having a sponsored haircut. However, there are lots of other ways in which people show their support, from bake sales to sporting events; from team challenges to crazy hat days! Every penny raised makes a huge difference to the lives of the young people helped by LPT.
How you can help… by cycling!
The incredible way we can both provide wigs and fund research is only made possible by the phenomenal work of our fantastic fundraisers. The small team at The Little Princess Trust is continually blown away by the staggering sums of money raised by its supporters, as well as the tens of thousands of hair donations received each year.
We'd like to encourage riders of the LONDON-PARIS 2020 to help fund-raise for The Little Princess Trust! You can create a Just Giving page by clicking here. If you'd prefer good old fashioned sponsorship form contact Rose: rose@littleprincesses.org.uk
To find out more about the brilliant work they do, head to the official Little Princess Trust website. To find out more about the LONDON-PARIS 2020, click here.

Chris R resurrects a goodie
This was posted here last year, but it's always time for a classic.
Sad ending for Nina
Happier days
The search for the 1928 schooner Nina, which I noted here last June, was called off early last July and it's presumed that she went down with all hands. A sad ending for a fabled ship and a tragedy for the people who drowned, including the seventeen-year-old son of the owners. But in looking up the status of the search for Nina, I came across this critical assessment from someone who sounds experienced enough to know what he's talking about: the ship was doomed before it left shore.
Nina, the 85-year-old American schooner presumed sunk in the Tasman with seven aboard, was unseaworthy and sailed by a traditionalist skipper who refused to have "gadgets" aboard, experts familiar with the boat say.
It had no long-range (SSB) radio and it appears its emergency locator beacon (Epirb) was not switched on.
The 21-metre Nina had not been out of the water for three years and, while it was moored in Whangarei, experts had noted that its hull had warped. It would have failed the standard "Cat-1" inspection Maritime New Zealand imposes on all locally flagged vessels leaving, lifelong blue-water sailor Russ Rimmington said.
He said it was known in sailing circles that while Nina looked good above the waterline, it had become hogged, meaning the hull of the boat bends upward. "It is a tragedy. People should learn from this. The vessel was not seaworthy," he said.
If Nina had been overturned it would not have floated because it had about 10 tonnes of metal weight on its keel, said Rimmington, a former Hamilton mayor. "Nina was a lead mine – it would have gone straight down."
The Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) formally ended the search for the boat yesterday.
Of course even tragedy can offer the solace of a bit of good irony, and that can be found here:
"Also aboard was Matthew Wootton, 35. A leader of the British Greens, he refused, on environmental grounds, to fly."
If Mr. Wooten had insisted on having an EPIRB aboard, the search planes could have saved a lot of fuel looking for him. Enough, in fact, to have flown Wooten and the rest of the crew to Australia and back many times. So it goes.
Geography are hard
My president says he was born right here in the 57th state, in Kenya
Obama vows to deepen our "Gulf of Atlantic" ports .
THE PRESIDENT: [You know], the Panama [Canal] is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in. Now, that will be finished in 2015. If we don't deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don't do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we'll lose jobs. Businesses won't locate here.
In the past two days our leader has channeled Sarah Palin by, yesterday, calling for abolishing Fannie Mae and now demonstrating a keen grasp of geography. Will the media ridicule him for this as it did Palin? Don't hold your breath.
I don't think so
Cos Cob bungalow, $975,000
Received an inquiry from an LA casting director, looking for house-hunting couples to sign up for one of those reality shows in exchange for infamy and some amount of financial compensation. I rather doubt any of my clients would be interested, but before I inquired of them I thought I'd clarify the house search parameters the show's producers set: "$300,000 to $600,000". I've written back, suggesting that they add zeros to that number set or plan on following people around as they look for pool cabanas.
I'll let you know their response.
Sale prices reported
Four sales, one accepted offer.
12 Meadowcroft
12 Meadowcroft has sold for $9.850 million, down a bit from its 2011 ask of $12.850 but considering its builder paid $3.625 for its 2-acre lot in late October, 2010, there's plenty of margin here to compensate for the long wait trying to get rid of it. By Steve Mariani, who has made Meadowcroft what it is today.
2 Horseshoe
2 Horseshoe, off Cognewaugh, sold for $1.275 million, not quite its asking price of $1.385 but well within where I think most of us guessed it would sell. Nice house.
21 Mackenzie Glen
21 Mackenzie Place, off North, $2.9 million. Meh.
22 Shady Brook
22 Shady Brook, Old Greenwich, $1.675. My reaction is somewhere between "meh" and "wow, really?!". Good neighborhood, and I suppose this price is what you should expect to pay to get into it.
6 Lake Drive (Raveis has apparently quit bothering with interior pictures for Riverside homes or even taking new ones)
And over in Riverside 6 Lake Drive South reports an accepted offer, $2.495. It tried $2.650 in 2007, came back for a year in 2009 at $2.495 without success and then returned just last month and in this market, sold immediately. I'm no longer surprised by any Riverside price.
Hard to see how Obumpski gets out of this one regardless of outcome
So Al Qaeda's really going to come out punching, eh?
Shuts down a swath of US embassies stretching 6,700 miles across the Middle East, Africa and India, then acts as though nothing's wrong. Which is it, imminent threat, or a perfect time to jet to California at the taxpayers expense to do the Tonight Show and get in a little more golf as a warmup for the Vineyard? If it all blows up, he'll look like the dilettante that he is, fiddling at the 19th hole while Cairo burns, and if nothing happens he'll look like the dilettante he is, rushing around flapping his arms about nothing.
The paradox is dizzying: The new "on its heels" al-Qaida, whose charismatic leader "Osama bin Laden is no more," as Obama boasted during last year's campaign, may no longer be as centralized, and CIA director John O. Brennan may claim al-Qaida has its eyes on regional preoccupations rather than on attacking us.
Yet this supposedly weakened "network of local-actor organizations," as German Marshall Fund analyst Hassan Mneimneh described it to USA Today, has managed to shut down U.S. diplomatic facilities indefinitely in a strategically vital region stretching 6,700 miles by 1,700 miles, as the State Department frightens thousands of Americans out of traveling.
Who is really "on its heels" or "on the run," to use the president's campaign rhetoric last year — the terrorists or the U.S.?
American Enterprise Institute scholar Frederick Kagan, a key architect of George W. Bush's successful "surge" in Iraq, testified to Congress last month that "al-Qaida affiliates in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and West Africa have dramatically expanded their operating areas and capabilities since 2009 and appear poised to continue that expansion."
The Obama administration's near-frenzied response … suggests it believes neocon hawks like Kagan's assessment of the state of al-Qaida more than its own.
Other Middle East experts are baffled.
If ordinary Americans are confused, they're in good company. Analysts who've devoted their careers to studying al Qaida and U.S. counterterrorism strategy can't really make sense of it, either. There's general agreement that the diffuse list of potential targets has to do with either specific connections authorities are tracking, or places that might lack the defenses to ward off an attack. Beyond that, however, even the experts are stumped.
Take this sampling of reactions from prominent al Qaida observers:
"It's crazy pants – you can quote me," said Will McCants, a former State Department adviser on counterterrorism who this month joins the Brookings Saban Center as the director of its project on U.S. relations with the Islamic world.
"We just showed our hand, so now they're obviously going to change their position on when and where" to attack, said Nada Bakos, a former CIA analyst who was part of the team that hunted Osama bin Laden for years.
"It's not completely random, but most people are, like, 'Whaaat?' " said Aaron Zelin, who researches militants for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and blogs about them at Jihadology.net
Price war in Cos Cob!
57 Gregory Road
57 Gregory Road, asking $890,000, sold for $905,000. And to think I scoffed when Obama said illegal immigrants would boost property prices.
Over by the Merritt Parkway 7 Wyckham Hill Lane has come on the market at $12.950 million. Place your bets here for when it will sell and for how much. Just to start the game, I'll suggest 2015, $5.795, but I'm always an optimist in these matters; it's my sunny disposition, I suppose.
(UPDATE: In fairness, I can see where this price came from – 11 Skyridge sold for $13 million in the past year and the two homes look to be roughly comparable in size and quality. To my mind, and previous house sales support my opinion,Wykham Hill is no Skyridge, but I'm sure this owner would disagree).

How much of the financial situation of a landlord must his agent disclose?
Yesterday's open house for 634 North Street, that house bracketed side and rear by the Merritt Parkway and now seeking $24,500 per month rent, set me pondering this, because the place is mired in litigation and, sooner or later, is going to end up in its lender's possession. What happens to the tenant then?
The owner of this structure, Richard Caires, paid $1.4 million for the land it sits on back in 2006, a purchase entirely financed by Washington Mutual- now defunct, and we all wonder why-$1 million first, $280,000 second. It was refinanced in 2007 to the tune of $5.5 million (WTF!?), and when Caires couldn't sell this spec he filed a preemptive lawsuit against WaMu's successor, JP Morgan Chase alleging, basically, that WaMu should have known better than to lend him money.
That case has been kicking around since 2009, with every imaginable pleading tossed about, and just last week Caire's attorneys claimed it for a jury trial, thus ensuring another four-year delay. That all bodes well for someone who might rent this property, but what happens if the case is speeded up or, God forbid, moves toward settlement?
A valid lease should be proof against eviction, but there might be appraisers demanding access, foreclosure committees and bank representatives crawling down the chimney and who knows? I think if I were a tenant I'd want to know about all this, but I'm not sure the owner's representative has an obligation to disclose it. The renter's agent should probably do that investigation but to be honest few agents. including myself, check the financial situation of a rental property unless something or someone tips us off.
Consider this a tipoff.

♬ I put a spell on you …
Haitian woman in Cadillac, charged with DUI after forcing truck off a 40-foot-high overpass, has three EBT welfare cards in possession, tells arresting officer he's "a dumb f " for paying for food when she gets it free and threatens to "voodoo your white ass".
A Cadillac-driving OUI suspect — charged with running a Boston Globe delivery truck off Interstate 93 and onto the Leverett Connector — was carrying three EBT cards, mocked a cop "for paying for food when she gets it for free" and threatened to put a voodoo curse on him, according to a police report.
"I questioned her as to why she had other peoples (sic) EBT cards and she began screaming that I was a 'dumb (expletive)' for paying for food when she gets it for free," trooper William Kokocinski wrote of Vivencia Bellegarde, 25, of Everett, noting she had her own electronic benefits transfer card and also the cards of two other people.
"She repeatedly called me a racist and told me she was from Haiti and she was gonna 'put voodoo on my white (expletive),'" Kokocinski wrote. "(She) told me to Google her name and find out who I was '(expletive) with'. She further explained that her name translated means 'give life take life' and she emphasized 'TAKE LIFE'. She then shouted that she was 'coming for all you white (expletives).'"
Bellegarde, who is listed as unemployed in court papers, is being held on $10,000 bail on charges of drunken driving causing serious injury. Surveillance video of the 3:13 a.m. Monday crash shows a car slamming into the Globe truck, forcing it off the roadway and into a frightening 40-foot free fall. The truck came apart on impact with the Leverett Connector on-ramp below.
Bellegarde told cops she'd left a party prior to the crash, and "didn't care about the guy she hit because he isn't dead and that all she cares about is smoking a cigarette," the report says. Her mood fluctuated greatly during booking, the report says, and at one point she began crying about her 5-year-old child.
Bellegarde's driving record
includes 10 suspensions, many for failing to pay citations. Last year, her license was suspended for 30 days in connection with a first-offense drunken-driving charge in Lincoln from September 2011. Her license will be suspended for three years because she refused a Breathalyzer test in Monday's crash, according to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
Vivencia Bellegarde is exactly the type of human being that liberals feel justified in forcing me to support. I should do without, my children should incur student loan debts so that my money can keep this woman in Cadillacs, cigarettes and booze and permit her to breed the next generation of moochers? Call me just a tad callous, but I couldn't care less whether this woman lives or dies, and I decline to accept a moral code that imposes any such obligation.

Martha's Vineyard residents think our Golfer in Chief "needs to find another place to go. He treats people here terribly."
If the adoring White House scribes (that would be mainstream media "reporters") could step outside their appointed role of Obama apologists, they might see the irony of a president who has campaigned twice against "the 1%", and demanded that the rich "pay their fair share" spending an inordinate amount of time vacationing and schmoozing with those very people and spending taxpayer money as though it were his and he was wealthy. Ski vacations to Aspen twice a winter, with separate flights for Mama and the girls, Christmases in Hawaii, Michelle and the kids and two dozen friends on a junket to the Costa del Sol, African safaris, Florida golf weekends with Tiger Woods, Martha's Vineyard vacations and, always, golf (when on the Vineyard, Barry prefers the private course at Edgartown). Obama and his family make the greediest capitalist look like St. Francis of Assisi.

Illegal immigration – is there anything it can't do?

Just a week after promising that opening our borders would send our economy soaring, the Golfer in Chief promises that it will also raise home values. In all modesty, if you need advice on real estate, check here first.
President Obama on Tuesday argued that enactment of the Senate's immigration reform bill would boost home values across the country.
"It's pretty simple: when more people buy homes, and play by the rules, home values go up for everybody," Obama said during a speech on home ownership in Phoenix.
Obama conceded that immigration was "something you don't always hear about when it comes to the housing market," but he said the two things go hand in hand.
"According to one recent study, the average homeowner has already seen the value of their home boosted by thousands of dollars, just because of immigration," the president said.
Cecilia Munoz, the director of the White House Domestic Policy council, tweeted during Obama's speech that it was a "fact" that immigration reform "will substantially increase home values."

Whales, dolphins, and porpoises belong to the order Cetacea - a wordmix from the Greek "ketosis" for whales, and the Latin "cetus" for large marine animals. 85 species of whales live today in the oceans and major rivers, including 70 toothed whales and 15 baleen whales. Our exhibition gives an overview of the species, their diet, anatomy and development. We show five skeletons of modern whales and three prehistoric whales. The Amazon River dolphin and harbour porpoise are on display in Room 102 (first floor).
Fossil whales – deep water predators
In the transition from aquatic mammals to whales, we show skeletal and image reconstructions of prehistoric whales: Ambulocetus, Basilosaurus and Dorudon. The fossils show how they evolved from terrestrial hoofed animals over millions of years, finally into ocean-going mammals.
Finback whale – the second largest living creature
The exhibited skeleton is 22 meters long. The body outline on the wall illustrates the enormous size of this animal. The mouth is so big that a small group of visitors easily finds space inside. Try it out! Also enormous in size is the real heart of a sei whale exhibited here.
Orcas – the biggest predator dolphins
Forty sharp teeth make it clear that the Orca is a dangerous fighter. Its prey, which it often hunts in groups, includes seals, other whales, and penguins. The German name "sword whale", refers to the very large and sword-shaped "dorsal fin", which is especially characteristic of the males.
Narwhal – Unicorn of the Sea
The spirally twisted "tusk" of these whales apparently inspired the unicorn legend. Previously, magical properties were ascribed to the horn, which actually corresponds to a canine tooth. The "tusk", which usually only occurs in the males, can reach up to 2.5 meters in length. It is not used for hunting. Presumably, it served like a deer's antlers, to impress females and rivals.

Google's Keynote showcased several new gadgets, including the Chromecast dongle that enables Internet TV and the Nexus 7 tablet , which will be the first device to get Android Jelly Bean 4.3. During the demos of the latter, attendees got their first look at a few Nexus 7 games, including Gameloft's upcoming mobile game, Asphalt 8: Airborne. There's a good reason Asphalt 8 was chosen to demonstrate the potential of Nexus 7 games: Gameloft worked directly with Google to optimize it for the Nexus 7.
According to Gameloft, the optimizations for Google's forthcoming tablet were "primarily adding graphic and image quality enhancements with OpenGL ES 3.0." Additionally, Asphalt 8 will be Gameloft's first title with Google+ and Google Play game services enabled at launch for Android. Naturally, with that sort of commitment on Gameloft's side, Google decided to show the mobile-game publisher some love at the big coming-out party for its Nexus 7.
Not surprisingly, Asphalt 8 will also include social features such as Facebook, which is frankly something we can expect from all Nexus 7 games (and Android and iOS games in general) moving forward.
Gameloft operates its own established franchises such as Asphalt, Real Football, Modern Combat and Order & Chaos, and it partners with major rights holders including Marvel, Hasbro, FOX, Mattel and Ferrari. With that in mind, it's only a matter of time before the publisher announces additional Google Nexus 7 games based on the impressive licenses with which it works (Iron Man and The Dark Knight, anyone?). We'll bring you more information about those games as details become available, even if they don't appear on the Nexus 7 tablet .
