I am working my way through the SolidWorks tutorials and I am doing the Simulation Xpress tutorial. When it comes time to apply the material I select alloy steel and press apply and then close and then nothing happens. It still says no material is applied. I cannot apply a material so I cannot run the simulation. Any ideas? Thanks!
Have you tried applying the material from the left hand simulation tree?
I just tried that and the same thing is happening. The window opens, I click apply and then I click close. Then on the right side in the SimXpress window it still says there is no material applied to the part. Thanks though.
Can you apply the material in the model without using SimulationXpress?
Yeah I just applied it to the part, but that does not update in the SimulationXpress window or allow you to continue the simulation.
Restart the simulation and check again.
No luck. I watched a video that solidworks put out in the learning center (http://www.solidworks.com/pages/programs/SimulationXpress/). They are applying the material the same way I was attempting, but it worked for them. So I don't believe I am making a stupid mistake but you never know haha.
What SW version and service pack are you using, and which operating system?
I am running SW 2012 Premium on Windows 7.
In SimulationXpress wizard, materials can't be applied when Model Break View is active and shown.
1) When Model Break View is shown after Force is applied, material can be added/edited by right clicking Sim Xpress in ConfigurationManager and choosing Apply/Edit Material.
2) If Model Break View is shown as soon as the SimulationXpress is started, material can be applied.
Thanks. it is a very simple model of a hook and I am not using a break view. Thanks for the response.
SPR 815382 - "SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Materials: An applied material in SOLIDWORKS is not transfered to a Simulation study."
Studies created prior to repairing the file (where the material previously failed to transfer from SOLIDWORKS to Simulation) should now automatically update with the SOLIDWORKS material. Newly created studies in the repaired file will transfer the material from SOLIDWORKS to Simulation automatically upon study creation as expected.
If that's not it, then there could be a problem with the Material Database (*.sldmat) environment on your computer, especially if you created additional custom material libraries at some point or have the same exact material name present in more than one library.
1. Go to Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations > Material Database and note all the locations listed there.
3. Open Windows Explorer and browse to each location that you noted from step 1.
4. Use the Windows Cut command to remove an .sldmat file from its existing folder and temporarily move it into a different folder that is not listed among the locations from step 1. The goal is to simply remove .sldmat files from your environment one by one to isolate the issue.
5. After removing each .sldmat file, launch SOLIDWORKS and test to see if the issue still happens.
If this none of this helps, please contact your SOLIDWORKS Reseller (VAR) for assistance.
Thank you for the well thought out response! I am using SW 2012 premium. I tried your second idea as well with no luck. We will be getting a newer version of SW soon and I will try again then.
Thanks for all the advise. I talked with my IT guy and we reinstalled it and it is working fine now.

He said: "Game of Thrones was nearly a third of my career. Yet it couldn't continue ad infinitum.

Saving Water: One Organization's Success Story
Exemplifying environmental stewardship, Holiday Retirement's 300 facilities reduce water use for restrooms and grounds operations
By Renee L. Shroades Plumbing & Restrooms
Organizations of any size can reduce water consumption costs by implementing water-saving technologies and properly maintaining existing systems. Larger organizations, however, have a greater potential for savings.
With more than 300 facilities, Holiday Retirement Corp., headquartered in Salem, Ore., provides residences to seniors. Its efforts to curtail water costs have saved the organization millions of gallons of water.
"Water conservation is another way for us to help control rent costs for our seniors so they can afford to live with us," says Paul Glaunert, Holiday's director of maintenance. "If we didn't make efforts to minimize water consumption costs, our seniors would have to pay for the higher costs through their rents.
"Our water conservation efforts are not just to be good stewards to the mother earth, but also to be good stewards to our seniors that live with us."
Restroom Retrofits
During the past four years, Holiday's maintenance department has retrofitted many of its facilities with low-flow toilets.
Ken English, project coordinator for capital improvements, has overseen retrofits in 20 of the buildings, which involved replacing up to 250 toilets in each building. Before the retrofits, some restrooms had 3.5-gallon tanks or, in a few cases, 5-gallon tanks. The new fixtures are flapperless, 1.6-gallon toilets.
English considers several factors in determining which facilities should be retrofitted first. For example, most retrofits have been done in areas where water utility costs are higher, such as California. English also researches rebate opportunities from local municipalities.
"We often receive some good rebates that help us get approval for projects," he says. For example, the organization might be eligible for a $10,000 rebate for a project that costs $30,000.
Most of the retrofits have been to buildings the organization acquired in the early 1990s that were built in the 1970s and 1980s, before 2-gallon toilet tanks were standard equipment. Also, many of the original toilets in these buildings have problems, such as leaky flappers.
"If you have a leaky flapper, you might be flushing 5 gallons of water each time," English says.
The flapperless units that English installs are designed to prevent leaking seals. Unlike most toilets, a flapperless unit doesn't use a chain, lever and flapper system to empty the tank's contents into the toilet bowl. Instead, it uses a water reservoir bucket inside the water closet. When a user flushes the toilet, the contents of the reservoir bucket are released into a specially designed bowl, creating a surge of water that results in a powerful flush.
English prepares carefully for each retrofit project.
"You have to make sure you cover every detail," he says. The process includes securing contracts with vendors, arranging delivery and pick-up of Dumpsters, and making plans for an inspection.
"To receive the rebate, you need to have the inspector come out and verify that you have installed the new toilets," English says. "You have to save the lids of the old units to show that you switched them out. After that, you have to follow-up a month later and make sure you have your rebate."
English often hires a contractor to replace the toilets. Usually, changing all of a facility's toilets takes about six days.
"Having a contractor who does good work for a reasonable cost is important, but, because the technicians doing this work are in someone's home, you also want to make sure they are understanding, respectful and act very classy," he says.
Technicians might talk with residents in every apartment to answer questions about the new fixtures.
"Those discussions slow down the process, but it comes with the job, and they understand that when they come in," English says. After the retrofits are done, English makes time to address any tenant concerns.
"The new unit is so different from the one that they've been using for so many years, and sometimes change isn't accepted well," he says. "But for the most part, it's a clean transition. I have received a lot of calls from residents saying this is the best thing we've done."
The biggest benefit, however, comes with the utility bills, English says.
"You might have a $2,500 bill each month, and then you see that it is down to $1,600," he says, adding that the reduction is often due to the toilet upgrades, as well as other plumbing retrofits, such as changing the shower heads from units that use 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) to 1.75 gpm, and upgrades to the irrigation systems.
Irrigation Assessments
Managers at Holiday also have been taking a closer look at their facilities' irrigation systems and making improvements to curtail water waste.
"We've been re-evaluating the entire sprinkler systems," says John Bosse, Holiday's senior area maintenance director in charge of maintaining 24 buildings. "We have been changing the heads, plugging off some heads, looking for leaks, and checking all the valves and back flows to make sure we're not losing any water."
Thanks to these efforts, one property is saving 2.5 million gallons of water in an eight-month irrigation cycle. Two other buildings are saving about 1 million gallons of water each.
"We're saving, on average per facility, between 750,000 and 1 million gallons of water a year just on the irrigation," he says.
Most of the measures Bosse has taken are relatively simple.
"It's amazing how easy it is to save a lot of money and a lot of gallons of water," he says. "By replacing a 3-gallon head with a 2-gallon head or just changing your sprinkling cycle or decreasing the amount of times your sprinkling, you can save a ton of water."
He encourages managers to walk their properties at least once a week and immediately address signs of irrigation problems.
"We have had some properties where the water shoots up 6 feet in the air, and we wonder how long has it been doing that," Bosse says.
One of the biggest challenges during an evaluation of the irrigation systems can be finding the valves. This can be a particularly challenging task when no irrigation drawings are available.
"Over time, the valves get covered with dirt, and grass grows on top of them," he says. "Sometimes, they are 6-8 inches deep."
One solution is to rent a valve locator. If managers plan to use the locator often, purchasing one might be cost effective, he says, adding that a locator cost about $700. Workers also can use low-voltage testers to track the valves' wires.
"We send a sound through the wire and use headphones and a wand to locate the head."
Once workers identify the valves' locations, it is a good idea to create a map for future reference. Changing the valves and sprinkler heads is a simple job, Bosse says.
"We have a 26-acre property that took us about a week and a half to go through everything," he says. "Now, that property is saving 2.5 million gallons of water" annually.
The average cost to retrofit one of Holiday Retirement's irrigation systems is $1,500-$2,000, Bosse says. While the time a facility recoups its costs can vary because water costs vary, many of Holiday's properties have recoup their costs for irrigation system retrofits within a couple months.
Managers can reduce retrofit costs by training their in-house staff to complete the tasks.
"If you do it in-house, the cost to change a sprinkler head is about $3 plus labor," Bosse says. "If you hire an irrigation person to do it, he will charge $50-$75 a head."
One of the easiest steps managers can take to reduce water use is installing a rain gauge, Bosse says. The gauge shuts the sprinkler system down when it rains and turns it back on after rainfall evaporates.
"It's a $20 part that takes about 10 minutes to install and can save you half a million gallons of water a year and thousands of dollars," Bosse says. "Our typical property has about 1,000 sprinkler heads that run 3 gallons a minute. On just one rainy day, it can save 30,000-50,000 gallons of water."
By combining simple measures with new technology, organizations can make significant reductions in water use and costs.
Watching the Weather and the Water
Managers looking to gain control over their organizations' water use might consider implementing a weather-tracking system.
Bill Timmins, senior area maintenance director for Holiday Retirement, oversees 12 properties and is one of the first in the company to use a weather-tracking system. The system uses global positioning technology to track the weather conditions for the five properties he oversees in Southern California. A vendor installed the systems about five months ago.
"It monitors the weather, and we can control how much water we put on our facilities each day," Timmins says. "If we know rain is coming, we can shut the controllers down through a computer. If we feel the weather is unusually cool, we cut back on watering. If it's hot, we can increase the watering."
Depending on the size of the property, the weather tracking system costs $5,000-$20,000.
"For most of our properties, which cover 2-3 acres, the cost to install the system at each location is about $5,000," Timmins says, adding that he anticipates a 15-30 percent decrease in water use.
"We figure in another five to six months, we will have paid for the system in savings alone," he says.
Timmins plans to install weather-tracking systems on more properties next year.
"I'm surprised that water and grass has become this technical," he says.

Millersmad League One Weekly News Roundup
Last updated : 05 January 2006 By Millersmad Staff
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Bristol City, who have climbed away from the bottom four following three successive victories have been boosted by the signing of David Noble from Boston United. Noble has been on loan with the Robins and has made eight appearances and has made his move permanent by signing a two and a half year deal. "When I first came here, I knew the club's potential but the lads were a bit down because they were on such a bad run but since then, the atmosphere has been transformed." Noble told Bristol City's official website.
Bradford City have been left reeling by Steve McLaren's decision to recall loanee star Andrew Taylor back to the Riverside Stadium, where he will be needed as cover for the injured Franck Quedrue. Taylor has made 24 starts this season for the League One outfit but the left back's departure did not come as a surprise to Colin Todd.
De Bolla- Released
Play off contenders Chesterfield have released striker Mark De Bolla by mutual consent. De Bolla joined the Spireites almost two years ago from Charlton Athletic but has failed to make an impression this term, recently returning from a loan spell at Notts County. With the 24 year old out of contract in the summer, Roy McFarland felt it better to allow let De Bolla find a new club now.
Ronnie Jepson is hoping that his Gillingham's recent good form at the Priestfield can be transferred away from home as the Kent outfit have not won away from since their 3-1 victory at Millmoor last March. Jepson told BBC Sport: "The good thing is that in the last month or so we've come away from home and we are creating chances, like at Bournemouth." Meanwhile midfielder Danny Spiller has told his personal website that his future may lie away from the Priestfield. "Sometimes you just have to do what's best for your career" the transfer listed player told icons.com.
MK Dons boss, Danny Wilson realizes he has a fight to keep Izale Mcleod on the books during the January transfer window. The highly rated striker has attracted interest from several Championship clubs and Wolves are believed to have bid £600k for the 21 year old hitman. "If someone comes in with an offer we can't refuse then we'll sit down and talk about it" Wilson told BBC Sport.
Former European Champions, Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of highly rated striker Nathan Tyson from Wycombe for a fee of £675,000. Forest secured Tyson on loan in November fighting off interest from several other clubs and he makes the deal permanent having scored twice in eight games for the Midlands club.
Brian Laws is looking forward to coming up against an old friend this week in the FA Cup as his Scunthorpe side faces former teammate Stuart Pearce's Manchester City. Laws and Pearce were stalwarts in the Nottingham Forest side in the late 1980's and early 90's and both were in the losing FA Cup final side 1n 1991. Talking to BBC Sport Laws said: ""We had a great team spirit and that camaraderie was crucial to having a successful team. It was certainly no coincidence Stuart Pearce was club captain at the time."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Former Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore has picked up the December manager of the month gong. Moore led his Oldham side to three wins and three draws last month and the Lancashire side are now in reach of the Play offs. Moore said "It is a reward not just for me, but all the coaching staff and the players who have done a brilliant job." to Oldham's official site.
Swansea City have been hit by an injury blow as it has been revealed that influential midfielder Owain Tudor-Jones will miss several months due to medial ligament damages in his knee that he picked up against Swindon over Christmas. He joins Lee Trundle on the treatment table after he picked up ankle problems in the same game and that has forced Kenny Jackett in to searching reinforcements with Swindon's Rory Fallon heading the list.
Cureton- future unclear
Jamie Cureton's future at Swindon Town is still in doubt as he enters talks with boss Iffy Onouru following his return from a successful loan spell at Colchester."If the manager feels he needs other things he will make that decision" Cureton told BBC Radio Swindon.


Coming this fall, the newest Apple Watch and WatchOS will feature 35-year-old technology – and an entire generation will believe that it's something new.
Everyone knows that short, quick phone calls are a thing of the past. Today, we text. But texting's big shortfall is its inability to convey the sender's emotion. A quick text can appear rude or impolite.
In the early 1990s, a cellular company called Nextel produced phones that allowed quick and instant "walkie-talkie" type messages with other Nextel users. I'm sure you can remember the chirp of those little yellow phones transmitting a voice message.
The advantage of these walkie-talkie phones was the actual voice. Hearing the sender's tone of voice, you more easily interpreted their mood and meaning. But Nextel was absorbed by Sprint and the feature disappeared.
Which leads us back to the Apple Watch that's due this fall. The new Watch brings back this old "walkie-talkie" feature.
And texting just may go the way of the phone call.

Private Life From The Spotlight
Does Ariel Have Other Children Too?
Beautiful Ariel Reese is famous as Fetty Wap's baby mama and childhood girlfriend in the limelight. The two welcomed their son, Aydin Maxwell, in 2011. But Ariel and her baby father, Fetty Wap, have been together in each others' lives for the past 11 years.
Ariel is not the only baby mama of the rapper. Fetty Wap has had many children with other baby mamas including Masika Kalysha, Alexis Skyy, and Lezhae Zeona.
Many of you probably don't know Ariel Reese like Fetty Wap. So, we got a lot to talk about her. So, do stick with this article, and you might know some facts about Ariel Reese.
As said earlier, Ariel Reese is Fetty Wap's baby mama and childhood girlfriend. They welcomed their son, Aydin Maxwell, on Apr 30, 2011. Ariel and Fetty Wap have been in each others' lives for the past 11 years.
They are not together; however, they remain on good terms. Based on Ariel's Instagram posts, she often raves about Fetty's parenting skills and musical accomplishments.
Both of them are raising their son together, and it's so wonderful to see them having a good relationship and becoming responsible parents despite their breakup.
According to Famous Birthdays, Fetty Wap wrote the song "Trap Queen" for his baby mama. He was in a relationship with Ariel for several years. But their breakup reason has not been revealed yet and is still a mystery.
Aforementioned, even after the breakup, the exes are in good terms. Fetty Wap dedicated the song to Ariel, and she was probably happy to see Fetty singing a song for her as well.
Ariel Reese loves her son immensely and has Aydin's tattoo on her back. It shows how much of a strong bond Ariel has with her son. She posted her tattoo on her social media handle in Jan 2016.
The tattoo is surreal, and she loves it so much. Perhaps she also has other tattoos that give meaning and importance in her life. Possibly, Aydin was amazed to see his face tattoo on his mother's back.
With time, Ariel Reese has made great progress and has lost weight. She stated that she never looked in the mirror and saw how huge she was or heard it. It's because everyone around her loved her for being herself and her personality.
She started this journey in August 2019 and is proud of the progress she has made so far. She is just happy where she is at and where she's going and the journey up ahead.
Ariel has proved that anything can be achieved with hard work and dedication. She also said that if she can do it, anyone can do it. Also, you just got to believe and love yourself.
Even though Ariel Reese is not a celebrity in the entertainment industry, she has massive 29.4k followers on her Instagram. We can say that she is a social media star well-recognized as Fetty Wap's baby mama.
Ariel Reese is widely popular as Fetty Wap's baby mama in the public and media. As for her personal life, she has kept it very private from the public eye.
Nevertheless, Ariel seems to be happy with her private life and is living happily with her children. You can even tell from her Instagram photos too.
Going through Ariel Reese's Instagram, she frequently posts photos and videos of her son. Along with her son, she also posts photos of two girls whom she refers to as her babies.
Ariel has also captioned their photos saying 'mini-me.' So, it's very likely that she has other children besides Aydin. It could be that Ariel Reese had her daughters from the past relationship. But Ariel has not said anything or whatsoever about their father.
Ariel Reese was born on Aug 28, 1991, in Paterson, New Jersey.
Her baby father, Fetty Wap, had a daughter named Zaviera Maxwell with Lezhae Zeona and Khari Barbie Maxwell with Masika Kalysha.

Nigerian Army on patrol
Nigerian Army blacklists Action Against Hunger, accuses it of aiding Boko Haram
byAbdulkareem Haruna
The Nigerian Army Thursday announced a blacklist of Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation operating in Northeast Nigeria for allegedly 'aiding and abetting' Boko Haram terrorists.
A statement issued by the 'Operation Lafiya Dole' Theatre Command in Maiduguri, Borno State, said the army has 'credible intelligence' that the NGO supplies food and medication to the outlawed armed group.
The army did not provide details of the 'credible intelligence' it has. It also did not state if it has the permission or support of the presidency to announce such a ban.
PREMIUM TIMES Thursday reported how Nigerian soldiers sealed the offices of Action Against Hunger in Borno and Yobe states after ejecting all staff working there.
The army did not immediately give reasons for its action until hours after the reports.
The Country Director of Action Against Hunger, Shashwat Saraf, had told this newspaper that there was no communication between his organisation and the army since the offices were sealed.
The army later issued a statement late Thursday night signed by the spokesman of Operation Lafiya Dole, Isa Ado.
Mr Ardo said the army decided to seal off the offices of the organisation on the grounds of "sabotage of the counter insurgency operations in the Northeast."
Army's Statement
"The Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE (TC – OPLD)) has observed with utter disappointment and concern the notorious activities of some Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) working in the North East (NE) Nigeria.
"The subversive and actions of the NGO Action Against Hunger (AAH) persisted despite several warnings to desist from aiding and abetting terrorists and their atrocities The TC – OPLD has on many occasions raised alarm over this unwholesome practices of some NGOs and expressed same position during meetings with the NGOs operating in the NE Theater of Operation.
"Consequently, the AAH has been declared persona nan grata for aiding Boko Haram Terrorists/Islamic State West Africa by supplying them food and drugs despite warning from the TC – OPLD.
"The Command has obtained several credible intelligence indicating AAH as one of those NGOs operating in the NE that is notorious in supplying food and drugs to the criminals in the area.
"Members of the public are enjoined to continue to give credible information on the activities of the marauders/criminals and their supporters in the NE Theatre of operation.
"The OPLD wishes to assure the public of its resolve and determination to always partner with credible NGOs and CSOs to cushion the impact of humanitarian crisis generated by the criminals in the NE in line with the international best standards."
NGO Reacts
The Action Against Hunger had prior to the release of the army statement issued a statement on its website saying the army was making a false allegation against it.
The organisation insisted that its operation was basically humanitarian and had nothing to do with the claims of the army.
"On Wednesday, September 18, Action Against Hunger was ordered by Nigerian army soldiers to close its main office in Maiduguri, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria," a statement published on the NGO's website reads.
"This decision, without notice and without any explanation, jeopardizes the assistance Action Against Hunger provides to the most vulnerable people in Borno State and halts, with immediate effect, the assistance Action Against Hunger provides to millions of people in Maiduguri, Monguno, and Damasak.
"Action Against Hunger calls on the competent authorities to let us continue our work in the region.
"Action Against Hunger delivers neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian aid to millions of people in Borno State by providing basic services to the most vulnerable, especially women and children.
"We do not have further comments at this stage."
Nigerian Army's history of similar allegations
In December 2018, the Nigeria Army issued a similar ban on the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) following an allegation that the global humanitarian outfit was spying for Boko Haram.
The allegation, also without any evidence, generated heated reaction and condemnation. The army later withdrew the ban.
Before the army rescinded the ban on UNICEF, it alleged that the UN agency organised workshops in Maiduguri, in which it trained people for "clandestine" activities that were "sabotaging counterterrorism efforts."
Similarly, in the same week of December 2018, the Nigeria army again called for the ban on the operations of Amnesty International in Nigeria following its critical reports of the army's operation.
The army accused the rights organisation of "secretly sponsoring dissidents, and using Boko Haram conflicts and other political or security issues to promote instability."
To that effect the Nigeria army said it had "no option than to call for the closure of Amnesty International offices in Nigeria, if such recklessness continues."
Both UNICEF and Amnesty International have since continued their operations in Nigeria.
Action Against Hunger describes itself as "the world's hunger specialist and leader in a global movement that aims to end life-threatening hunger for good within our lifetimes."
For 40 years, the humanitarian and development organisation said it has been on the front lines, treating and preventing hunger across nearly 50 countries. It served more than 21 million people in 2018 alone, it said.

Low noise CW UV lasers are needed for applications in bioinstrumentation (cell sorting, cytometry...) and semiconductors (wafer inspection, micromachining ...). We have recently demonstrated that such laser sources can be obtained with diode pumped solid state (DPSS) architectures. One key to success was the quasimonolithic structure of the laser. The advantages of quasi-monolithic DPSS lasers for UV generation are simplicity of design, compactness, efficiency and thus low power requirements and limited heating. In this paper, we present for the first time a long term characterization of the diode pumped CW 355 nm laser. The interplay between pump absorption, cavity length, 1064 mode size, walk-off angle, acceptance angle has been optimized. In our experiments, the temperature of each element of the laser was controlled and UV power, noise and spectra were monitored versus these temperatures. At 2.5 W pump power, low noise UV power beyond 30 mW was measured on most samples built. At a reduced pump power of 1.65 W, all lasers were operating at 10 to 15 mW and could be maintained at 10 mW over days. The noise level remained below the 1% rms level. More long-term measurements will be presented at the conference.


The bigger goal – the one we're working towards every day – is a new environmental reality. An ecosystem unclogged of the harmful and persistent plastics that society consumes (like it's going out of fashion).
Despite what you might think, Dresden – Sydney made sunglasses and specs – was not founded by someone with a background in the sector, but by two frustrated glasses-wearers, Jason McDermott and Bruce Jeffreys.
Dresden aims to provide affordable, durable, and interchangeable glasses. Using a Germanic-design-sense and manufactured here in Australia, Dresden Optics are not only well designed and nice-looking, but sustainable too. They were recently awarded the Sustainable Innovation award from Marrickville Council for their work in reusing plastic waste in their products.
On this episode of People of Purpose, Jason talks about turning waste into usable products, his vision for a future without plastic, the design process utilised at Dresden, as well as the ins and outs of starting a new business. Jason co-founded Dresden with seasoned entrepreneur of goget fame, Bruce Jeffreys.
Jason is a designer, artist and entrepreneur working at the intersection of technology and design. He has spent nearly ten years working with interactive technologies in the built environment, collaborating with some incredibly smart engineers, designers and thinkers. Jason is the a co-founder of Dresden Optics, a co-creator of BrightHearts for iOS and a founding member of the artist collective Design The Future.

Since discovering podcasts a few years ago, I've become an addict. The best business podcasts can teach you so much about all areas of business and I listen to them while driving, walking, running, grocery shopping, folding washing, and cooking (if I'm alone). They're a great way to ingest information while you're physically doing something else (and one of the few ways you can effectively multi-task).
This is unfortunately not an ongoing series but has 15 short but amazing podcast episodes where Seth shares the best of his wisdom. I've listened to it at least twice and intend to listen again soon. If you're looking for one of the best business podcasts available, this is it.
Pat Flynn is a great interviewer and presenter of his knowledge and although this podcast is aimed at people looking to generate passive income online, almost all of the learnings apply to most types of businesses. His other podcast – AskPat is also a wealth of knowledge with specific answers to lots of questions about online businesses.
Chris Ducker is a wealth of knowledge with a focus on delegation and outsourcing. He also has fantastic guests and a fun, light-hearted interviewing style.
Amy Porterfield has a very practical approach and walks you through many technical aspects of online marketing. She also speaks about the mindset required for entrepreneurship and interviews specialists in different areas of business.
A good mix of interviews and deep dives into specific topic areas – all from a women's perspective.
Interesting format, mainly about developing and marketing online software (SAS) but the ideas apply to all kinds of businesses. They often delve into the mindset challenges of starting a business too (which can get a bit woowoo but it's enlightening all the same).
A deep dive into what it's really like to start a business.
Highlights from TED talks assembled into a cohesive presentation around a certain topic. Often I see the topics and think they won't be of interest but I'm always pleasantly surprised.
I've listened to every episode of this podcast and love Tim's way of uncovering what makes high performers the way they are – sometimes big-wig entrepreneurs and other times sports people, scientists, authors, etc, but always insightful and entertaining.
Again, more great interviews in an unconventional style. Sometimes business related, and other times not.
Lewis Howes has a great story and is another fantastic interviewer. He has a way of asking different types of questions that bring out new insights into his guests.
Although this is blatantly aimed at blokes, the topics and guests are often very interesting and can help everyone with personal growth.
These short podcasts are great at diving into various area of our lives – often psychology and/or technology related – and provide a very entertaining and insightful discussion.
A new podcast by Kelly Exeter and Brooke McAlary where they discuss ways to do less and be more.
Another new podcast by Kelly Exeter, this one with Carly Jacobs (Smaggle). These two road-test and discuss various lifehacks and self improvement ideas. So far, I'm loving it.
Here, Jonathan Fields shares inspirational conversations with business people, writers, philanthropists and others – often taking a holistic approach and discussing the why behind their motivation and creativity.
There are others I go to occasionally or for special purposes (eg learning French!), but these ones are my go-to's.

The Judiciary Police (PJ) deployed 200 investigators to crack down on a prostitution group. In total, 151 people were detained by police officers for further investigation, according to the PJ's report, which was released yesterday.
The group is said to have been operating since 2014. From 2017 until the crackdown, the group made more than MOP310 million from prostitution. Of the 151 detained, 13 are members of a criminal group.
Most of the operation's masterminds are mainlanders, the police authority revealed. They worked with pimps from Macau, the mainland, and other places. The women controlled by the pimps were mostly from mainland China, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, though there were also Vietnamese women involved who possessed legal blue cards as cooks, cleaning staff or domestic helpers.
The Judiciary Police did not rule out the possibility of other crimes being committed.
A doctor and a nurse were requested to assist in the police investigation, as the pimps organized regular medical check-ups for the women at an assigned clinic.

Interesting facts about the lovely County Clare
From the Cliffs of Moher to Bunratty Castle, the River Shannon to the Wild Atlantic Way County Clare is one of the most popular counties for visitors from Ireland and abroad alike but how much do you know about "The Banner County"?
The Kilkee Castle as seen from Dunlicka Castle on Loop Head Peninsula Co Clare Valerie O'Sullivan
County Clare, in the west of Ireland, is a wonderful place to visit with beautiful countryside which varies magically. From the Wild Atlantic Way and the craggy coast to the karst landscape of the Burren to the Cliffs of Moher and Bunratty Castle, you could spend weeks exploring. but how much do you really know about this beautiful county?
Read more: Mayo and the Cliffs of Moher tours
We went in hunt of some interesting facts about one of Ireland's most popular counties, County Clare.
1. County Clare's name comes from the Irish word "Clár."
"Clár." Translates to "board" or "plank." According to lore, a board was placed across the river Fergus outside Ennis, as a bridge, at a place which was to become known as Clare.
2. A lot of the land in County Clare is underlain by limestone.
The Burren plateau of north-west Co. Clare, which spans over 150 square miles, is the finest example of a limestone kart landscape in Ireland. The Burren is famous internationally, not just for its beautiful limestone surface, but also for the remarkable flora and its rich archaeological heritage. The term "Burren" is derived from the Gaelic for "stony place."
3. The county colors are blue and saffron yellow.
These are the colors believed to have been carried by one of Clare's most famous heroes, Brian Boru, as he went forth into the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.

4. The inventor of the submarine was from County Clare.
In 1881, in County Clare, John Philip Holland was the first person to successfully launch a submarine. The first of its kind, it was called the "Fenian Ram." By 1900 the U.S. Navy was formally commissioning the production of these underwater boats.
5. The West Clare Railway was so unreliable a protest song was written about it.
"Are Ye Right There Michael" is a fairly well-known song, but not many know its origins! Due to a slow train and the driver's decision to stop for no apparent reason Percy French – a 19th-century and early 20th-century Irish composer and musician – though having left Sligo in the early morning, arrived so late for an 8pm recital that the audience had left. He wrote the song in revenge. The ballad caused considerable embarrassment for the rail company, which was mocked in music halls throughout Ireland and Britain thanks to the song. The company took unsuccessful libel action against French – who, legend has it, was late for the court date because the train was yet again delayed.
6. Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali has Clare roots.
The former heavyweight champion of the world Muhammad Ali has strong ties to Co. Clare. Ali's great-grandfather, Abe Grady, was born and raised in Ennis, Co. Clare. He immigrated to America in 1860, where he married an emancipated slave. Ali's mother, Odessa Lee Grady, was Grady's granddaughter. Ali visited Ennis in 2009.
7. Clare is known as "the banner county."
The custom of carrying banners goes back a long way in County Clare – at least as far as the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. Over the ensuing centuries, banners became a unifying factor. Brian O'Dalaigh, writing for ClareLibrary.ie, explained that most trade guilds in Clare had their own banners – and a political one. "The reason the name stuck with Clare. . . was that custom of greeting politicians with banners, particularly at election time, survived longer in Clare than in other counties. The Parnellite and de Valera eras coincided with the rise of the GAA and the name soon transferred to the county's hurling and football teams."

8. The crest of Co. Clare features six different symbols, each with their own special meaning.
On Clare's crest, the rose is a tribute to the Burren, with its distinct flora; the tau cross as a nod to Clare's rich heritage of antiquity; the antique Irish crown as a symbol of the ancient Kingdom of Thomond, which made up most of what constitutes County Clare today; the pile reversed fleuried at the point suggests a plane departing Shannon Airport; the stag's head commemorates the many Clare families whose shield and crests bear this motif, such as Meehan, Curtin, Cullinan, Hehir, O'Connor, O'Connell and many more; and the circle of fire represents the electricity stations of Moneypoint and Ardnacrusha. The crest was introduced officially in 1986 by the Clare County Council, with input from Clare residents.
9. The county was badly affected by the Great Famine of 1845-47.
The population was 286,000 in 1841 and by 1851 had shrunk to 212,000. Over 50,000 people died between 1845 and 1850 and thousands of others emigrated to the United States, Australia and elsewhere. The decline in population continued during the following century, reaching a low of 73,500 in 1966. However, the population of Clare has been increasing in recent years and as of the last census – 2011 – the population was 118,000.

10. The Cliffs of Moher are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ireland.
The famous cliffs – beloved by locals, visitors, and especially photographers – consistently rank as one of the most visited sites in Ireland. The wondrous vista ranked third in 2013 – behind the Guinness Storehouse and the Dublin Zoo – and sped ahead to second place in 2014, with just over one million visitors. Anyone who has ever had the chance to stand on the stunning cliff-side certainly knows why.

What follows is a string of allegations about Iran's dealings with Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and other Latin American countries notable mostly for how little there is to them. A former Ecuadorian intelligence official, for instance, fired by President Rafael Correa for insubordination amid charges that he was a CIA asset, is given time to claim - without so much as an incriminating Word file - that his former boss is "sending intelligence agents to secret Iranian training facilities" in South America. Viewers are also presented with the information that the Venezuelan military, as part of efforts to prepare for a feared US invasion back in 2005, reportedly distributed a manual on asymmetric warfare written based on the tactics employed by the Lebanese group Hezbollah - tactics the US military has itself studied.
"Such are the network's standards that, beyond the idle speculation, assertions capable of being debunked with no more than 30 spare seconds and an Internet connection are presented as fact."
The "exclusive!" meat of the report is video footage from 2007 purporting to show the Iranian ambassador to Mexico at the time, Mohammad Hassan Ghadiri, discussing a plot to launch cyber-attacks against the US government with a group of Mexican college students who were posing as hackers. Nowhere in the footage, though, is there any evidence to dispute Ghadiri's claim he was merely entertaining a group of kids he suspected, not without cause, were actually CIA agents.
During a panel discussion following the screening, Didziulis - seemingly unconcerned with what an appearance at a far-right think tank would say about the objectivity of his reporting - acknowledged that his network was the only one to run with the story; every other media outlet that received the footage declined to run it. Such are Univision's standards.
The agency's actual report, of course, declares no such thing, instead noting "concerns" about "possible" military dimensions to Iran's declared, civilian nuclear energy programme while nevertheless unambiguously stating that it "continues to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material" in the country.
But the report is not without its moments. Those who appreciate dark, funny-if-these-people-didn't-have-power comedy will appreciate the segment where Salinas presents the head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, far-right Florida Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, as an authoritative expert on Latin America. And they'll laugh out loud when the congresswoman's efforts to stir the American public into a jingoistic rage ends with her suggesting, amazingly, that Iran just may well bomb the very countries she regularly accuses of being in Tehran's pocket.
But consistency, facts - they are silly, tiresome things. And they are of little import in Washington, where scary portrayals of messianic Muslims armed with WMDs have long trumped boringly rational assessments of the world. And those attending the Hudson Institute screener, certainly, were clearly ecstatic to hear their own factually challenged rhetoric rebroadcast under the auspices of objective journalism.
"If there are still scholars, journalists and policymakers who remain skeptical, Univision's extraordinary documentary should erase all doubt," declared Hudson's Jaime Daremblum, the US ambassador to Costa Rica under George W Bush who is on record declaring Iran's dealings with the likes of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua stem from a "messianic" desire to attack the United States and its interests. The report, Daremblum said, "persuasively shows that Iranian activities represent a major threat to hemispheric security".
Douglas Farah, a terrorism "expert" who once claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood had "made tremendous strides in occupying positions of influence within the Obama administration", was equally gushing in his praise for the report, to which he and a host of other usual suspects on the right contributed. During the panel discussion following the screening, he explained he was so impressed with the original Spanish-language report that he lobbied for an English version to present to Washington's policymakers.
Neither Farah, the Hudson Institute nor Univision responded to several requests for comment. But then, you don't really need a comment from a spokesperson to understand what's going on here.
As journalist Belén Fernández notes, Saban's political views tend to mirror those of his hawkish establishment friends. And when it comes to perceived threats to Israel, he's about as subtle as the reports his media properties produce.
And in "targeting media properties", the New Yorker noted, "Saban frankly concedes his political agenda, as evidenced by his repeated efforts to purchase the Los Angeles Times."
"I thought it was time that it turn from a pro-Palestinian paper into a balanced paper," Saban said when asked to explain his interest in the paper.
With the network reportedly in talks with the Walt Disney Company to launch an English-language cable news channel, Univision's dishonest - and strangely English - documentary on the "Iranian threat" may just be an example of what's to come. At a minimum, it suggests yet again that when it comes to corporate news, objective facts and evidence are less important than who's paying to keep the lights on.
