Any Desired toppings such as chopped nuts, pretzels, candy bars, sprinkles, etc.
Clean and slice apples into 3/4 inch slices while also removing seeds.
Use a paper towel to remove the excess juice on each slice to ensure chocolate will stick.
Carefully insert the lollipop making sticks into the slices from the bottom.
Melt chocolate in microwave, according to package instructions.
Dip apples in melted chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place apples in fridge until chocolate is set.
Melt caramel candy with a little cream or coffee creamer in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time until melted, making sure to stir well.
Drizzle caramel onto apples and add any additional topping desired.
3 apples made about 10 finished slices. Store in fridge until ready to serve to avoid melting.
Love caramel apples, but find them to be kind of a pain to make and to eat?
Try this simple idea of slicing apples, and then dipping them in chocolate and drizzling with caramel! The result is an easy to make Fall treat the family can all enjoy!
Important Notes: Be sure to remove excess juice from apples, or the chocolate WILL NOT stick to wet apples. If the chocolate becomes clumpy, try re-melting for a few seconds and stirring again. You want a thin shiny consistency for best results. I really liked the chocolate melting wafers, but if you decide to substitute chocolate chips it helps to add a little oil when melting to get a smooth consistency. Also, if you prefer no apple core at all, just cut out core first and do normal apples slices. The result would be a different shape then mine, but big enough to still fit a candy stick inside.
These would make a really fun party treat! My family really enjoyed eating them.
Why so many ads on the Hip2Save app?
One of the ways that Hip2Save is supported is via ads – the revenue from the ads allows me to pay for hosting, web development, my awesome team of sidekicks etc.
HOWEVER, based on your feedback, we are trying to change ad placement so that the ads are spread out more and not as close together. I also think we are dealing with some glitches with the ads on the app that will hopefully get fixed soon so that you have a smoother experience when browsing.
These updates should hopefully take place tomorrow. Thanks for your patience as we work through these issues.
I agree. I have never personally made these but have been witness at parties to everything sliding off the apple. It would be easier/safer to just make regular caramel apples for a party. This would make a good, quick, once in a while afternoon snack for yourself or for kids too.
I have always seen this website as a big old ad for hundreds of companies. It is how she pays the bills. Doesn't bother me much.
Cool idea! Saw something similar on Pinterest the other day, may try with caramel. Thanks!
For as much money as this site has saved me, I don't mind the ads. Thanks for all your hard work.
Well said. Thank you for all your hard work. I have saved so much I don't mind seeing ads.
You probably haven't updated your app if you're not seeing them.
I never see ads either… but I have gotten so many great deals through hip2save that I wouldn't be complaining about ads if I did see any ads.
I'm confused too! I don't get any ads! I'm on an iPhone.
From what I'm reading, it must be the updated version for iPhones.
I just started seeing them and they're very distracting when you're trying to read about the deals. Hopefully you can avoid them!
Believe me you cant miss the ads. I don't mind them, but the *placement* is off putting. I don't even use the app since the update. Even online the ads can be distracting, esp the "OK!" type ads. Sometimes theres half naked girls and thats not what I want to see on a savings blog!!
I'm pretty sure the ads are based off your browsing history as I see toddler Nike shoe ads and Hampton Inn ads. No half naked girls on mine.
I was so excited to make these for my kids classroom parties. This was a complete fail. The chocolate does not stay on the aliced apple, even after drying the apple slice. Short of drying them in the oven, or a blow dried lol, there is no way to completely dry the slices, making it impossible for the chocolate to dry, or stick to the apple. I'm so disappointed, it looked so good.

Mutual admiration: Detroit Symphony and Music Director Jader Bignamini

"It's hard to pin down exactly when Jader Bignamini cemented his bond with Detroit," writes Brian McCollum in Sunday's (7/3) Detroit Free Press. "For the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's music director, appointed in 2020, perhaps it was his emotional performance of Beethoven's Third with a scaled-down ensemble at an audience-less Orchestra Hall, the finale to a grueling pandemic year. Or possibly it was an evening this spring, when he led a triumphant Beethoven's Ninth…. Or maybe it came last month … at Comerica Park … sporting a Detroit Tigers cap and jersey…. The gregarious Italian conductor was at his feet, pumping his arms and grinning wide as his face appeared on the giant outfield screen…. Musicians lauded the energy, fun and camaraderie Bignamini has brought to Orchestra Hall…. The admiration is mutual. 'There's a very particular atmosphere here in Detroit,' Bignamini said. 'Your love for life is strong. Onstage with the orchestra, it's the same—just smiling, smiling, smiling.' … He'll conduct half of the [upcoming] season's 20 classical weeks…. He said he's thrilled to be immersed in it in Detroit. 'The community needs the orchestra,' he said. 'And the orchestra needs the community.' "

I put the embroidered quilt blocks together for a lady I know as a Christmas present for her daughter. The top was done by Christmas and wrapped and given and then it came back to go to the quilter I got it from the quilter on Thursday and put the binding on it and a hanging sleeve. Nice to see it done.
Granddaughter and hubby held it up for me to take a picture of it.
I had the fabric done up to make 3 humbug bags it is pink background with sock monkey's on it. Well I and another Fayette Guild member have taken on a group of young ladies that are part of different 4 H clubs and formed a sewing club/group. Now the group has been working on making humbug bags they are zippered bags and the pattern has 3 sizes the Sock Monkey is sitting in a large one and the smaller bag I put on the monkeys arm.
The Fayette County 4H was having a fund raiser Omelet breakfast and silent basket auction. So I had the bags started and remember I had purchased a kit a few years ago to make a Sock Monkey. Well I got out the kit and put the Sock Monkey together and he settled into the one humbug bag and then I attached a second bag to his arm. He did come out very cute the winner of the auction was a boy I know here in town and since the Humbug bags are pink background fabric I told him I could and would make him some that were out of blue background fabric with sock monkey's on the fabric so that is going to be my project later this week. I need to stop and get 3 blue zippers to make the bags out of.
Then I will trade him the pink ones for the blue ones I am making.
The sock monkey was such a hit I do believe I am going to try finding socks and making a few more for an auction at the local library later this summer. Plus I had another person ask me about making some to sell.
So how much do you think a sock monkey is worth. They are not hard to do the stuffing is the worst of it. I do have to find the socks and see what they run.

As far as I can tell if you negotiate to get a more advantagous offer the usual sympathy bonus of trade contracts gets cancelled even if the nation comes up with another offer and you accept it (observation of this aspect is difficult, because sympathy rating is a very "liquid" affair, and I have been puzzled often by changes in sympathy which were pretty uncalled for or inexplicable without being a programmer of the game ;) ).
If no second or third offer arrives or of course if you don't accept the last offer it's just like a refusal (meaning small drop in sympathy).
So, my advice: if you REALLY need every little sympathy bonus towards a nation you can get, take the first offer, otherwise just take a pragmatic approach and negotiate or refuse immediatly if you don't need the ressource.
Is there any way to tell exactly how much sympathy has been reduce as a result of your refusal to accept the AI deal?
Do you sometimes get a chance to negotiate twice in one deal? I've never seen this. Sometimes when I choose the negotiate option, the AI does not come back with a new deal. Sometimes the AI will send back a slightly more favorable offer- but I've never seen the AI return with an offer after I've selected the negotiate option more than once.
It does happen, yes, but it's rare. The AI has to have real serious interest in the transaction to do that (hefty lack of food combined with an overabundance of gold for example, happens in late game sometimes).
The AI checks your armies and their relative position to it's borders. So mobilization in the sense of placing new armies on the map is influencing the calculation, yes. However, the exact formula how this interferes with sympathy I can't tell you (there are some hints in the reglas-files, but my spanish isn't good enough ;) ).
Interesting to note: pretty much everything that influences sympathy gets readjusted by differences between political systems. Positive effects become somewhat smaller between an Absolut Monarchy and a Democracy for example, negative effects bigger.
Every time you open up a sea trade route (or improve an existing one), you get a small one time sympathy bonus (between 1.5 and 3, can't remember the original amount exactly, because as mentioned I modded all those bonuses) with the country that owns that harbour. You can check the change with a right click on that nations provinces right after that action, because the effect takes place immediatly.
If you declare war on a nation which has high sympathy ratings with other countries(but not a defensive alliance), does your nation recieve sympathy penalties with these countries?

What to say when someone says science has disproved God
David Robertson Fri 29 Jan 2016 14:41 GMT
Sample analysis tubes in a lab at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton. Has science disproved God?Reuters
"Show me the evidence." Last week we looked at why this apparently reasonable request is difficult to answer because of pride ("I am capable of judging the evidence") and prejudice ("there can be no evidence"). You can read the original article here.
The reaction was interesting, not least when it came to the question "What evidence for God would you accept?" Not one person who tweeted/blogged/e-mailed was able to say what evidence for God they would accept. It appears that people can accept plenty evidence against God, but there is nothing that they would accept as evidence for God, because such evidence can, and always will be, explained away.
Why is this? Perhaps the main cause is the perceived opposition between faith and science, expressed in the simplistic formula, "You have faith, I have science." The belief that science and faith are opposed is one of those atheist myths that have grown so strong in popular culture that it is has become a major hindrance to sharing the gospel. Let me tell you a story.
A long time ago (about 20 years) in a land far away (Scotland) a nervous young minister (yours truly) knocked on a door that was answered by a rather rotund, middle-aged man.
"I'm from the local church", said the minister.
"Hang on, I'll get the wife," came the response (because after all, in the world of the macho male only women and children are weak enough to need religion).
"No," said the young minister,"you beard, me beard, we both man (this in a vain attempt to have an incarnational ministry).
"I don't believe in God, I believe in science," he countered.
"Oh – you a scientist?" "Nah."
"You studied science?" "Nah."
"You read science?" "Nah."
"You know anything about science?" "Nah – I just believe in it."
That may be a somewhat simplistic version, but it is a common belief among many. It is something that through media, popular culture and dumbed-down education, is now an accepted part of the zeitgeist.
And it's completely wrong. It relies on a misunderstanding of both faith and science. First, faith is not blind belief. Christians are not 'people of faith'. We are people who have faith in Christ. And that faith is trust/belief based upon evidence – not despite or contrary to the evidence. In other words, Christianity is not something based upon blind faith that is in opposition to science. Instead it is something that is based upon evidence, including the evidence of science.
There is also a misunderstanding about what science is. Science is a method, not a person or philosophy. "Science is the concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding," as one definition has it. But it is a limited method. It is carried out by limited human beings and it is only concerned with the observable physical world. It cannot by definition tell us about the unobservable non-physical world. Therefore to use naturalistic science to attempt to prove of disprove a supernatural God is illogical.
Science is also morally neutral. It can tell us how to split the atom, but it cannot tell us whether it is better to build a bomb or a nuclear power station with that knowledge.
Despite this some atheists try to argue that science does or can explain everything. An example is the Oxford chemistry professor Peter Atkins who claimed that "science is omnipotent" and that science can account for everything. There is a wonderful answer to this from William Lane Craig in a debate he had with Atkins.
Craig points out that science cannot account for logical and mathematical truths, metaphysical truths (such as "there are other minds than my own"), ethical beliefs, aesthetic judgements ("the beautiful, like the good cannot be scientifically proven") and that science itself cannot be justified entirely by the scientific method.
The trouble with Atkins position is that he just has a blind faith that one day science will be able to tell us everything. Instead of the 'God of the gaps' (where God is only used as an explanation for what we do not know, rather than the reason for what we do), Atkins has a 'science of the gaps'. We don't know but 'science' does. This is a common myth that we need to debunk.
The problem here is not with science as a method of discovering knowledge about the natural world, but with the philosophy of scientism (naturalism) that says that the natural world is the only world that can exist. Here we have to do a wee bit of philosophy – despite the fact that atheistic apologists like Dawkins and Hawking want us to avoid all philosophy.
Why an atheist philosopher is one of our century's greatest prophets
What to say when someone asks for proof of God's existence
Religion is declining in the UK, says new survey
Atheism: Just one false god among many, and not the most dangerous
AJ Ayer in the 1920's wrote a book called Language, Truth and Logic which espoused a philosophy called Logical Positivism. What does that have to do with the man on the street today? Because, despite being debunked by most serious philosophers it is now the default philosophy of the common man. Logical positivism states that something can only be real or true if it can be empirically demonstrated to be true. So the ordinary Westerner will insist: "I would believe in God if I could see, touch, hear him."
Note how we are back here to the demand for evidence – and of a particular type of evidence, that can be judged by our senses. The trouble is, as Ayer himself admitted in a BBC interview towards the end of his life, that logical positivism is nonsense because it is self-refuting. The statement that the only things that are true are those things that can be empirically demonstrated to be true, is itself unprovable, so by its own logic it cannot be true! The "man on the street" has locked himself into a worldview and a philosophy that is false and yet on the basis of that false way of thinking, rejects any evidence for God.
Enough of the heavy philosophy – important though it is. Given that science cannot explain everything and that naturalism is as much a 'faith' position as any other philosophy or religious system of thought, what can science tell us, and about what? For example, what about evolution? Richard Dawkins's whole position can be boiled down to two main points. 1) Evolution is true and 2) because evolution is true there is no God.
It's a position that seems to be widely accepted in popular culture. I was in a school yesterday where some of the pupils told me they did not believe in God, they believed in evolution – as though evolution were an alternative faith (which for some people it seems to be). And yet premise 2) does not automatically follow from premise 1). It is quite logical to believe that God used evolution to create. There are Christians who are young earth creationists, there are others who are old earth creationists, there are those who are theistic evolutionists, and there are some of us who just don't know. Even if we grant that macroevolution is demonstrated beyond any doubt, that does not mean that there is no God.
But what about the evidence of science? Is it completely neutral? No. While a supernatural being cannot be absolutely proven by naturalistic methods alone, it is still the case that science points to, rather than away from, God. Yes, there are many scientists who are atheists, but that is as much because of their culture and background as it is because of their science.
There are also many Christians who are scientists. The observation of the natural is a pointer towards God. The heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19); there is no land where their speech is not heard. The Bible tells us that "what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:18-20). The fine-tuning of the universe, the marvels of DNA, the consciousness of humanity are all pointers towards the God who made it all, along with many other 'wonders' of the natural world.
There are those of course who just simply deny that. Their faith (that there can be nothing beyond the 'natural') is so deeply ingrained that they are prepared to believe that it all came from nothing, by nothing and for nothing. This weeks recommended book is John Lennox's God's Undertaker – Has Science Buried God? In it Lennox concludes by asking: "Inevitably, of course, not only those of us who do science, but all of us, have to choose the presupposition with which we start. There are not many options – essentially just two. Either human intelligence ultimately owes its origin to mindless matter; or there is a Creator. It is strange that some people claim that it is their intelligence that leads them to prefer the first to the second."
But what about Christian opposition to science? Do not all religious people oppose science? Are they not in competition as alternative explanations? Again this is so much part of the common mythology that the only way to deal with it is patiently, historically and factually. This week I was speaking at a University event and I was told that Christians had opposed every scientific advance. When asked to give an example the speaker said "the printing press"! I assume he had not heard of the first printing press, the Gutenberg press, used to print the Gutenberg Bible.
Christians welcome science because in the words of the greatest scientist, the Puritan Isaac Newton, God has two books, the book of general revelation, nature, and the book of special revelation, the Bible. They are complementary to one another, not opposed. In fact a case can be made that without a theistic understanding of the universe, science itself would have no reasonable foundation. Ultimately only those who believe in an ordered (created?) universe with scientific laws, can do science without compartmentalising.
So how can Christians deal with this deeply ingrained 'defeater belief'?
We should think about and discuss these things. A superb resource for doing so is the wonderfully produced God Question series which is a balanced look at the whole subject from a wide variety of people (including prominent atheists) and gives a great opportunity for us to show that we are not scientific ignoramuses.
Stephen Hawking believes God did not create the universe.AP
And we should encourage people to realise that science and faith in Christ are not opposed. Indeed the science onlyposition is one that is profoundly dark and depressing. Last week Stephen Hawking, a born and bred atheist, warned us that science will wipe out the planet. We have a far greater hope. We have a far greater and clearer vision. We see the sun with the eyes in our head, we see the Son through the eyes of our heart.
In the latest edition of The Dawkins Letters we included the testimony of Richard Morgan, who was an atheist participant in the Dawkins website, until he became enlightened. In reflecting upon this whole question of evidence, science and faith he observed: "I have my five senses and a brain that works in a particular way to process what my five senses pick up. But that doesn't prove that anything that can't be captured by my five senses doesn't exist. If ever, in a science fiction journey, I came across a universe where living beings had 10 senses, well, I could only have half as much fun as they did."
Richard then goes on to describe his conversion as he reflected on the words: "We can love Him, because He loved us first," by giving the best description I have ever heard of the change becoming a Christian makes: " As I considered my perception of life, the universe and everything, it was literally as if I had been looking at a two dimensional image in black and white, and in an instant everything became three dimensional and Technicolor!"
I will leave the final word with Richard: "It is so good to be loved, without having done anything to deserve it. It is so good to raise my eyes from the science laboratories and the books of philosophy and start to behold the glory of God. Science and philosophy are wonderful manifestations of the enormous capacities of the human mind. But the Word of God is Truth, and truth is what it took to set me free. My journey in faith begins".

Architecture, Objects, The People of St Paul's
Thatcher's Teapot
Date: June 14, 2016Author: Chontelle Syme 0 Comments
On display at Old St Paul's is an ornate silver teapot that was given to the architect and priest Frederick Thatcher by the Governor of New Zealand, Sir George Grey. This teapot tells the story of many people: Governor Grey, Frederick Thatcher and his family, and his biographer Margaret Alington.
Frederick Thatcher, c. 1880
Frederick Thatcher trained as an architect in London, but when he came to New Zealand he did a range of different jobs, and he first came in contact with Governor Grey in Auckland when he was his secretary for two years in the 1840s. Frederick and his wife Caroline's only child was named Ernest Grey, in honour of Sir George and Lady Grey, who were Ernest's godparents. Thatcher trained for the priesthood from 1848 and worked in Auckland and England, but was convinced to return to New Zealand by Bishop Selwyn in 1861, and became the priest of the original St Paul's church in 1861, and then designed the Old St Paul's we know today.
In 1864 he had to leave his position because of illness, so he returned to Auckland and to the employ of Governor Grey, as his private secretary, nearly 20 years after he'd worked for him the first time. Both Grey and Thatcher left New Zealand in 1868, when Grey's second term as governor ended.
The silver teapot was made in 1846 by Charles Lias in London. It has a crest with a Greek Cross, which is apparently the Thatcher crest used on wax seals on family letters.
The teapot is inscribed:
Frederick Thatcher,
Kind remembrance of long & faithful public
Services, from his attached friend
G. Grey,
Governor-in-Chief of the Islands of New Zealand.
There is no date on the teapot, so we can't know exactly when Grey gave it to Thatcher. However, Thatcher's biographer Margaret Alington believed that the teapot was probably presented to Thatcher around the time the two men left New Zealand, because it mentions 'long' service.
Sir George Grey, 1867
Grey was by all accounts a difficult man to work for. The wife of Old St Paul's Bishop, Caroline Abraham, described him as being in want 'of all warmth of feeling or capacity for friendship on any equal terms'. However, this teapot serves as evidence that Grey had a lot of affection for Thatcher. Their friendship was probably due to Thatcher's character: Margaret Alington wrote that a friend had called him a 'rare man … attracting all by the sweetness of his nature', and combining 'strong good sense with no lack of backbone.'
Return of the Teapot to New Zealand
The fact that the teapot is even at Old St Paul's today is a story of dedication and luck. The teapot fortunately stayed in the Thatcher family, passed from Thatcher to his son Ernest, who had three children while in Brisbane, Australia, but who finally settled in British Columbia, Canada. The teapot then passed down to one of his three children, and was held by the family until 1993, when Thatcher's biographer Margaret Alington made contact with Thatcher's great-grandaughter Doris Patocha. She was still living in British Columbia, and she had the teapot!
Doris generously donated the teapot to the Friends of Old St Paul's Society in 1993. Doris even visited Old St Paul's in 2000 to see what her great-grandfather had left behind from his time in New Zealand. Without Margaret's thoroughness and dedication, this piece of history, representing a strong friendship, and tangibly linking one of New Zealand's early politicians to Thatcher and Old St Paul's, would not have been discovered. It has now found a home in Old St Paul's, on loan from the Friends.

After the sad evening yesterday, we have some good news today. On our second single-match-day we managed to beat Otso from Finland in a close game 15-11. Maybe the first step of a long lasting process to cure the broken souls.
For sure the disappointment about the early drop-up was still in everyones mind when we got up today, but life goes on and so does the tournament. As our game was again very late, we had breakfast at 9 o'clock. After that, we went to see some games, especially from german teams, before we started our warm-up routine. The physical things were the same as always. Jogging, stretching, running, throwing… everything look very usual, but this time, it seemed to be much more important to warm up the minds. Getting into game-mode again was very tough and sadly this was mirrored by the first half. The only good thing was the defense of the O-Line, which surely prevented a complete break-down, after giving away to many discs. Unfortunately the D-line struggled to get the blocks, so the first half ended with Bad Skid down by 2.
Just to symbolize the huge difference between the two halves, the second one is written in a new paragraph. We were fully aware, that it was necessary to switch gears right from the first point. It was impressive to see, how the D-line increased the pressure on Otso and created several breaks, while the O-line played much better Ultimate than on the first half. Playing our lovely sport like this brought even the last minds back on track for the future. Sure we need much more time to cover up again, but for today, we at least found what somehow got lost yesterday: Bad Skid Ultimate.

Four Lessons to Take Your Work Environment From Competitive to Collaborative
By Christa Studzinski, PhD, Jordan Antflick, PhD
Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) was created to change how brain research was done, and the challenge was palpable: getting world-class clinicians and researchers who are used to competing with each other to work together. More than just working together, though, we had to figure out how to get researchers to truly collaborate, by standardizing assessments and sharing data.
As part of the team that established the OBI, these are the lessons we learned along the way. Although drawn from the real-world experience of building a "world-class" research institution, these same ideas can be applied by graduate students, postdocs, young investigators, lab managers, and other managers of science to improve your work and working environment.
Lesson 1: Set Principles
Principles are critical to managing science. In the early days of launching a new initiative or project, take the time to set some basic principles. These serve as a foundation on which you'll build your project.
Engage your partners and team members early in the discussion in order to ensure that they buy into the principles and have a sense of ownership over them. Once you've established principles together, use them to maintain focus and to keep everyone working toward the same goal. The principles can (and should!) be used to evaluate opportunities that come up, like the direction of your research or new partnerships to embark on.
Lesson 2: Share Your Thinking
Scientists have many competing interests, priorities, and grants, so it's unrealistic to expect anyone to remember most of the details about your projects. Likewise, don't assume that people will approach your work with the same perspective as you. You are the expert on your project, and you likely care the most about it. By sharing insight into your thought process, you'll help others to care about your project too. Providing context reminds your partners about the principles and goals of a project, the decisions you made to get to where you are, and what's been discussed and/or decided before you address the next steps.
Lesson 3: Communicate Clearly
When reaching out to an advisor or collaborator, start out by reminding them what's been discussed, especially what you have already agreed upon, and then lay out what you now need from them.
For example, if you're reporting to a committee about a series of experiments, rather than simply showing the results, start by explaining why you took a certain approach. It could follow a format like this one: "At my last committee meeting, I showed you some initial results about X. We agreed on the following next steps because we wanted to rule out hypothesis Y. Here are my results. Based on these results, I need your help with Z."
Lesson 4: Show Colleagues You Care
Caring isn't about befriending everyone or even socializing with your colleagues. It's about listening to your partners' perspectives, understanding their challenges, and working with them to find solutions that align with the principles you set together.
It's also about treating your colleagues (including the people who work for you) with empathy and respect. You are trying to build trust, which is the foundation of every relationship. If you care about what's keeping them up at night, they are more likely to care about what's keeping you up at night.
Say you notice that a colleague has missed an important deadline. Approach them about it with empathy. You might say something like, "You never got me those comments on our manuscript. This is not like you. Is there anything going on?" Listen to their response and identify what you can do that might help. If your colleague is worried about an upcoming committee meeting, offer to run through their presentation with them. If it's a big grant, offer to provide constructive but honest feedback.
Research is mostly a solitary pursuit, but there's no need to do it alone. Look up from your work from time to time and check in with your colleagues. They are likely going through the same experience as you are. See this as an opportunity to build camaraderie and look out for each other. The relationships you forge in the "minefield" of research will likely benefit you througout your career.
Considerations for Scientists Early in Their Career
If you're early in your career and feel "lost," or if you're undergoing a career transition and feel like your focus has shifted too much, take some time to reflect on what you would like to achieve in the long-term and how collaboration may play a part in this. Is research your forever job? Do you want to work in industry? Do you like to work with others, or do you prefer to work independently? Use the answers to these questions to set some basic principles for your career.
For example, someone who is undertaking a PhD because they want to work in pharma and like to collaborate might decide to focus on translational research and maintain a collaborative environment. Applying and talking about these principles when searching for a supervisor or planning a research project can help ensure that everyone is onboard, which will make for a more supportive environment. They can also help you avoid environments and projects that are not suited to your values and interests.
How We Put It All Together
Since 2012, when we formed the Ontario Brain Institute, we've lived these lessons, reflecting on our founding principles, providing context, communicating, and caring. Currently, the Institute has over 240 researchers or clinicians, 77 portfolio companies, and over 20 patient groups in our network. We also hold data from over 21,000 subjects in our neuroinformatics platform and are poised for our first two clinical data releases. As we keep reaching toward our vision to improve brain health through research, commercialization, and care, we'll continue to use these lessons to make sure we achieve it.

What is this "different path to success" of which you speak?
A path not littered with failed marriages and the sort of "disaster" stories we read about on here.
And most still have no success after all that.
I have no failed marriages.
I have no "disaster" stories.
Like the sorts of stories where glaring red flags were ignored and it was full speed ahead into disaster.
Other folks may not worry/care as much about how their lives unfold.
I'm not interested in going through those types of experiences on my way to any success I may have.
I'm divorced once. I got married young and we grew up together and then apart. I have two grown daughters and one grandchild. I don't consider that a failure.
If you really are 61, I'm glad you have a plan to be successful.
But other than attempt to avoid failure, I can't see what you're doing or being successful with. There are worse things than trying and failing.
Yesterday was our One Month Anniverary( I know this is no such thing but "mensiversary" sounds weird). She told me she love's me more everyday,so I sent her this video.
Happy 1 month to you! I love that song!
ADULTS.....talk to her in a way you won't scare her but it's been my experience it's different with everyone....if you dating someone for a while I see no reason you can't say the L word unless both know where your at like just physical etc.
My girlfriend and I are going to go out together at a restaurant with our kids on Saturday. She has a 26 year old daughter who is engaged to a 27 year old guy that she first met online while playing MMORPG games.Their dream is to live and work in Japan. They said they would both like to meet my son because he is the same age(27) and and also loves gaming.Also he participates in organized competitive gaming and was born in Japan.He speaks fluent Japanese and he just got back from visiting his mom and grandparents in Japan so that is another reason they are very interested in meeting him.
I had someone tell me the loved me by text before we ever met. That was kinda crazy and freaked me out a bit but turned out in the end he didn't mean it anyway. Just trying to get on my good side, I guess. I think a 4th date is too early to know if you truly love someone but that's just my opinion. I personally would never take it too seriously that early on.

I personally would never take it too seriously that early on.
My friend told me that she once got messages from a guy at OK****D that didn't want to meet in person until they had already fallen in love via email.
^^"...didn't want to meet in person until they had already fallen in love via email."
This reminds me of the TV show Catfish, where two people are messaging each other for an eternity-months, and in some cases years-without ever meeting in person. One person has fallen in love over the messages-and often tells the other person "I love you"- and when he/she suggest meeting in person, the other person always makes excuses why they can't. When the Catfish crew finally fishes out the one not wanting a face-to-face meeting, it usually it's because they are not who they portrayed to be.
The person who tried to originally arrange a f-2-f meeting/date is then totally heart broken, and often stated things like " He/she has been the love of my life. This is the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, to have kids with and grow old together. How could this happen to me?" I often wondered if the hosts felt like smacking the person on the side of the head and tell the person to stop being such an idiot, and tell them from the first moment, that if someone keeps making excuses why they can't or won't meet in person, move on. But I guess the show wouldn't be as popular if they had people on who used common sense.
If a man told me he loved me after only 4 dates. I would think either he does not know what love is, or he is desperate to find love and is willing to fake it hoping it will become love. I doubt I could ever take him seriously afterwards. I would want to wait for the dust to settle before even questioning myself as to if I was in love.
Moriama, I told my wife I loved her after 4 dates and I really was. We have been together for 26 years and married almost 25. What may not work for some, may works for others. Love is a very strange emotion. There may be similarities in love, but to me, love and being in love is unique to everyone. Also, my wife was skeptical, too. -) .
I am one to think that we should take time before deciding that we know what we think we know, like loving someone. So would be skeptical if a woman said this very early. However, there's no telling how well two people can get to know each other within four dates. There's no telling what those four dates were like for any given two people. So it's possible.

The host of the show had it done to him, that's why he originally made the show, with his friend as cameraman.
He wanted to try and understand the motives behind lying to someone about....well everything.
"MTV announced Thursday that it has halted production on Catfish, the MTV series co-hosted by Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, due to sexual misconduct allegations against Schulman by Ayissha Morgan, a woman who appeared on the series in 2015"
9 times out of 10 it does not work that way.
I too knew I loved someone quickly whom I would still be married to if he had not died.
I did not rush to say I love you but waited till I knew he was what I thought he was.
However, when someone quickly tells me he loves me, I think desperate to be in love with being in love.
How did the restaurant go?
I'd love to visit Japan but it's very expensive so have to wait.
Message: How did the restaurant go?
Thanks for asking SiennaBear2! We had a great time. My girlfriend and daughter are vegan and her daughter's fiance is vegetarian so we all had vegan pizza. All the kids got along really well and had lots to talk about (video gaming,Japan,etc) which was a relief. Now we both got our kids approval so we are an official couple. Even changed our Facebook status to "in a relationship" lol.
You should visit Japan someday SiennaBear2,you would love it! Although don't go now,they just had an earthquake. My son took me out for dinner on Father's Day and his mom called to tell him him about it while it was happening.
What if someone says they love you while they are talking to you on the phone while drunk? Should you just ignore it and pretend it never happened?
CBGB77, Wow a vegan pizza?!? what was on that? do you eat pineapple on pizzas there?
My boyfriend really wants to go to Japan and so do I but because it costs thousands we have to wait. So we will probably go on cruises instead until we can afford it. We are considering a south pacific cruise with Royal Caribbean for the end of this year.
I thought fathers day was in September?
or someone you have only been talking to??
Message: CBGB77, Wow a vegan pizza?!? what was on that? do you eat pineapple on pizzas there?
Yeah,you and your boyfriend should visit Japan when you are able.It is so cool,there is no place like it.My ex wife always invites me to come,says I can stay with her parents. I think that would be kinda weird now.
A cruise to the south pacific sounds wonderful!I've always wanted to visit there.

I have an amazing opportunity to meet the gorgeous, glorious, golfericious Michelle Wie on Saturday, September 18, and since I'll be representing the Kimchi Mama community, I was wondering if any of y'all had some burning questions for her. Also, any interviewing tips would be very much appreciated! I only have 5 minutes with her, and I already budgeted 3 of them to staring like a creepy ajumma.
Ryder Cup Big Win for USA and Asians . . .
Team USA captured the Ryder Cup this past weekend.
Big news for Team USA considering Tiger Woods was not on the team, the team roster had more than it's fair share of rookies (6), the European team was highly favored and Team USA hasn't won a Ryder Cup since before my daughter was born - 1999 was the last time . . .
But leading the pack to victory was fellow Asian/Korean American (and transplanted Texan) Anthony "AK" Kim. His performance at Ryder Cup has hailed comparisons to Tiger Woods - and he's been ear-marked as the next golfer with the potential ability to really challenge Woods. He was SO "in the zone" that during play, he had to be TOLD he'd just won!
Way to go Team USA (and a special pat on the back to "AK" from this Kimchi Mama)!
-Angie in Texas also thinks Anthony Kim is a real cutie-pie. Shhh, don't tell anyone (hes young enough to be my dong-saeng).
Yesterday news sources stated the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) announced they are going to require ALL LPGA members to speak English by 2009.
My first reaction upon reading the story was "WTF?" ?
According to the article, there was a mandatory meeting last week of South Korean players that outlined the new requirements. Basically starting IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS, members who have been on the tour for 2 or more years must be able to proficiently speak and therefore PASS an oral exam . . . if not, their membership could be suspended. This new policy becomes effective immediately. South Korean players make up the majority of the International contingency - there are 45 South Koreans out of 121 total International players from 26 countries.
The LPGA's tour's deputy comissioner, Libba Galloway said "an impression must be made that communicating effectively in English is fundamental to the tour's business".
So nobody panic - this is a BUSINESS decision.
"Kate Peters, executive director of the LPGA State Farm Classic, supported the news. "This is an [American tour]. It is important for sponsors to be able to interact with players and have a positive experience.""
Because it's AN AMERICAN TOUR? WTF?
To be fair, the article also cited several Korean players who said they support the policy . . . but I can't shake the feeling there's still something amiss.
This is still a fresh news story, so I think I'm going to need a day or two to really get into this . . . But I just wanted to share with ya'll my INITIAL gut reaction.
-Angie in Texas threw her clubs into a water hazard once after missing a 5 foot putt - three times, but still loves the game of golf.

We are working to address the Killing Floor Mac DLC issue and hope to have a patch for it in the near future.
The Killing Floor Halloween event is back for a limited time with all new Hillbillly themed monsters!
Deep South? No? Neither did we, until recently. Turns out, not very surprisingly, that it has been leaking a glowing green goop into the local lake where Bubba and his kin have been dynamiting catfish for generations. Bubba did try to explain to the local Horzine execs that this was not what Al Gore meant by a "green revolution", but all he got was a face full of buckshot for his troubles.
There is now an opt in beta for Killing Floor that will allow modders to upload their content to Steam Workshop before it is made available for all players.
Further instructions on how to upload their content can be found in that group and the Wiki.
WARNING: THIS BUILD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE LIVE BUILD OF THE GAME. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO JOIN SERVERS.
This update also lays some groundwork for the upcoming Steam Workshop integration.
WARNING: As this build did not change KF version numbers, players will be able to see non updated servers in the browser and will see downloading issues and content errors until those servers are updated.
In my previous WWAUT post I mentioned that we are working on a number of items as we push towards our next major Red Orchestra 2 update. Today I want to focus on another upcoming item sure to please both fans of Red Orchestra 2 and Killing Floor.
As you probably know, we here at Tripwire are big fans of modding (many of us having gotten our start in the Make Something Unreal contest), and support it through the release of our SDK's, contests to promote content creation and more. The latest being the Counterattack Mapping Contest for Red Orchestra 2 with thousands of dollars up for grabs! With phase 1 done and judging getting underway, the custom mappers are already hard at work for their phase 2 entries.
But we aren't stopping there, the next big thing we are doing is integrating Steam Workshop into both Killing Floor and Red Orchestra 2! This feature of Steam allows players to browse content created for our titles, find what they like and subscribe to it with the click of a button. This will keep them always up to date. You can read more on all it all works here.
We look forward to the fans having an easier time finding the great community generated content, from maps, mutators, and total conversions.
Another great fan video from QuickSilver and the crew. Be sure to let them know what you think and check out their previous work if you have missed it!
Ash Harding DLC now available on Steam!
As promised, Ash Harding is now available as Premium DLC, including her own voice pack, on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/210931/ . For all those of you who have been waiting patiently (or even, not so patiently), just head on over to the store page and you can pick her up.
Killing Floor Summer Event Is Ending!
In a few minutes, Killing Floor will be updating to remove the summer zeds. As always, the new map is here to stay.
The summer zeds will await you until the next time the circus master opens the gates.

A violation of this statute shall be subject to penalties as prescribed under Section 6 of Chapter 142 of the General Laws. Permits may be canceled if in the opinion of the Inspector of Plumbing, the code has been violated. Permits shall be invalid if work is not started within 90 days of the date thereon. Massachusetts General Laws - Chapter 211 amended Chapter 142 Section 21A; "Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, no licensed plumber or gas fitter, acting in the capacity of a self-employed contractor, shall be issued a permit for the performance of plumbing and gas fitting, pursuant to this chapter unless the licensee has a current liability insurance policy including completed operations coverage, which has been issued by an insurance company licensed to do business within the commonwealth, or other type of indemnity against liability providing substantially equivalent coverage, or a bond. The licensee shall check the appropriate block on the uniform application to perform plumbing and gas work. In lieu of such insurance requirement, plumbing and gas inspectors shall accept the signature of the owner or his agent on the uniform application for a permit to perform plumbing or gas work upon the property of said owner."


McDonald's isn't a company that shies away from a promotion opportunity, that's why we have Happy Meals and why Darth Vader got his own black burger. The latest burger-coloring promotion hasn't worked out too well, though, because it's ended up making the burgers look quite unpalatable.
You can't fail to have noticed that an Angry Birds movie is available to watch and Rovio really (really!) wants you to go spend the cash to see it. That has resulted in a big marketing budget and promotional ideas being greenlit without very much thought put into them. One of those ideas was asking McDonald's to color burger buns red and green.
The burgers are being offered in China carrying the names "The Naughty Green Pork Burger" and "The Super Red Burger." The problem is, they don't look great. The green-colored burger looks moldy, and the red-colored burger looks like it has soaked up a lot of blood. In both cases, it's not really something you'd look forward to biting into.
If you can get past the off-putting colors, the burgers sound like they'd be quite tasty. The green version contains a pork patty complemented by an egg, lettuce, jalapenos, and a mystery sauce. The red version is your standard double-chicken affair.
The burgers aren't the end of the Angry Birds food branding, though. McDonald's is also planning to release Angry Birds Combo Boxes containing Chicken McNuggets, Spicy Nuggets, and new Jalapeno Chicken McNuggets. And if you fancy a dessert, then you can look forward to the Lemon Custard McFlurry, which is based on Angry Birds character Chuck.
As far as I can tell, you can only order these food items in China and parts of Singapore. Has anyone seen them in other McDonald's locations?
