You can check out his one month update here, it seems like just yesterday I was sharing that here...time is just flying by.
He's pretty much wearing solid 0-3 month outfits and starting in some 3-6 outfits (like some of his Baby Gap clothes). He's outgrowing some of my favorite outfits and it makes me so sad!
We've had some huge improvements with his sleep, but I'm trying not to get too excited about it because I know just how easily that can go away.
He typically takes a few naps throughout the day, he has basically transitioned to having to nap in his bassinet in our room-he can't sleep really well for long periods of time in the living room anymore.
We start trying to put him to bed around 7, for an 8 o'clock (hopefully) bedtime.
Sometimes he gets there, sometimes he doesn't. We're trying to get there though!
Usually we can get a five hour stretch out of him at night, then he'll wake up to eat, then sleep for two or three more hours so I consider that a win at two months old.
Still eating at 2 hour intervals during the day, but like I just mentioned we do get those longer stretches at night usually.
He's napping more regularly for longer times, just at fewer intervals.
Still no real schedule, because we don't focus on actual times of day, just lengths between naps/eating/etc.
So far, our boy hasn't had any big health issues.
He has had two colds, but we do take him with us basically everywhere we go which equals being around people which equals germs. Plus it's just that gross time of year with weather changes and people being sick.
We're thankful that it wasn't anything that couldn't be treated with his nose frida, humidifier, and some snuggles.
Our little guy really doesn't cry unless he's over-tired or over-hungry.
He wants his diaper changed immediately, but as soon as you pick him up and head in the direction of his room where we change him, he seems to know it and stops crying.
To the polls to "vote" for the first time!
Y'all, I don't want to brag but I feel great.
Literally probably better than I did before I got pregnant with Charlie.
I'm down to lower than my pre-pregnancy weight and I want it to just keep coming off.
I try to be more active (it's been hard this past week with the rainy weather), but walks in the neighborhood with Forrest and just keeping busy around the house plus watching what I eat and trying to drink lots of water-those are the things that I attribute my success to.
It must be working because I've gotten lots of compliments about how I've looked lately so that's always a positive feeling!
This was convenient for bringing Charlie home in his first month when he slept a lot on the couch next to me during the day, however really where it has come in handy is using it inside of his Halo Bassinest! It's the perfect size and it makes him feel so cozy and safe, so it's the perfect mix of having him comfortable and close to me at night but not co-sleeping in the bed with us.
Charlie has several pairs of pajamas, but some of my favorites are the ones from Old Navy.
This pair in particular are so cute for wintertime because they're Christmas red & have different cute doggies on them! I also really love them for their price and the sweet inverted zipper detail (aka it unzips from the foot).
We haven't always swaddled Charlie, but in the past few weeks that's been the only way to get him to stay asleep for those longer stretches.
Sometimes we use a Rafe+Moose swaddle blanket & other nights we use this super sweet swaddle sack from Halo.
It's SO easy to use because you just zip their body up, tuck their arms in and then wrap the swaddle around them, using the velcro to keep them in place.
This one is actually on sale & I'm SO tempted to pick up another one.
This might be the most pricey thing I've ever mentioned for Charlie, but it's probably the thing that's given us the most peace of mind, especially with his cold/cough he was dealing with for the past week.
It's an oxygen and heart rate monitor that he wears on his foot while sleeping and it connects to an app on my phone that I can check at any time.
It's really the best thing!
I don't really use this as a nursing pillow, but we do use it to prop our boy up in and he loves it!
He's so alert and loves to sit up and be able to see around him, so we love using this while we're playing with him-I'm sure it will continue to come in handy as he gets older.
We have this cover for ours and love it!
In a moment of desperation, I discovered that Charlie loves the sound of white noise by playing this video for him & it quieted him down right away and almost immediately put him to sleep.
Well, after a week or two of using my phone to play this YouTube video all night, I picked up this white noise machine on Amazon & never looked back.
It's portable so we'll be able to take it with us when we travel and it has tons of different sounds-it's super affordable as well.
We registered for this & got it as a gift for one of our baby showers and it's one of my favorite things to use for tummy time for Charlie.
He loves that it plays music and has a mirror, I love the little pillow to prop him up on and I'm sure he'll love all the little toys as he becomes more able to grab and hit them in the future.
Well, these are our favorites for month two & a little update on our sweet baby boy...let me know if you have any tips for helping him sleep longer through the night, kicking the swaddle habit in the future, and any product or toy suggestions for the next month with our sweet love!

My Day at the Reality of Climate Change Hackathon
By Cara Cannon Byington

A couple of months ago, I spent the weekend at Yale University's "Reality of Climate Change Mixed Reality Hackathon" where I put on a virtual reality (VR) headset for the first time and learned that, though I have never had a fear of heights or flying in any kind of aircraft, flying with a jet pack is a whole other story. A terrifying one.
My flight only lasted a few minutes, but it was certainly an effective introduction to the power of virtual reality. In fact, it was a whole new twist on the concept of "reality" and the ways technology could transform how people experience and therefore respond – and take action – to confront the global reality check of all reality checks: climate change.
Making What's Difficult to See Possible to See
Turns out reality can be trickier than I ever imagined.

Why I Changed My Mind (Mostly) About Pokémon GO (+ 5 Apps for Upping Your Outdoor Game) By Cara Cannon Byington
New Science Shows Nature's Potential to Fight Climate Change By Justine E. Hausheer
The thing is, my mind knew my jet pack flight wasn't real. My mind knew exactly where I was: the Yale Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (CCAM) in an unassuming building at 149 York Street in New Haven, Connecticut. I was not flying erratically over mountain ranges and rivers. I was standing on a hard tile floor. People were next to me, talking to me. Unless I fell over my own feet, I couldn't actually fall. My mind knew all of this.
My body, however, did not. My body thought I was dropping out of the sky and reacted accordingly. My stomach dropped. I'm pretty sure my heart hit a rib, and my breath caught like I'd accidentally sucked in a large insect, possibly some sort of thick beetle. I was falling and not falling at the same time. It was real and unreal. It was visceral.
"Exactly," said Randall Rode, director of campus IT partner development at Yale University, one of the main organizers of the hackathon. "Now that you've had that VR experience, you can really see how empathetic it is. How your body sees you as being in this experience and what a powerful tool that can be for communication. I think the most important things these technologies offer are completely new ways to make what's difficult to see possible to see."
The Reality of Global Climate Change Hackathon. Yale University. February 2019
Making the difficult to see possible to see was the simple, but daunting premise of the weekend's hackathon where 50 student participants, aided by a team of mentors and technical advisors from The Nature Conservancy, Yale, Quinnipiac University, ESRI, SphereGen and others, had 24 hours to conceptualize, develop and build a VR or augmented reality (AR) prototype that brought the reality of climate change to life.
AR, VR, XR: Wait, What Does That Even Mean?
Quick break for some definitions. In simple terms, augmented reality (AR) is additive. It adds computer-generated effects to existing reality so users can manipulate or interact with it. One of the most widely known examples is probably the Pokémon Go gaming phenomenon where people use an app on their phones to find and capture Pokémon in the world around them.
In contrast, virtual reality (VR) is immersive, and uses a computer simulation or recreation of a real environment that you become a virtual part of. It's more sensory and can make you feel like, say, you're flying with a jet pack when you're really in a small room in Connecticut. One last clarification, AR and VR experiences can be grouped under the broader term of mixed reality (XR).
Meanwhile, Back at the Hackathon
"The chief barriers to finding solutions to climate change are not scientific or economic," noted Jon Ozaksut, digital director for the Yale program on climate change communication, and advisor for the hackathon. "The chief barriers to solutions and change are based on collective action. Many people still view climate change as an 'over there' problem – either a problem that is happening somewhere else or at some future time."
When applied to problems like communicating climate change, the hope is that emerging VR and augmented reality (AR) technologies will help tell the stories of climate change in human terms. The importance of these new technologies, noted Ozaksut, are their potential to turn science and data into stories, and those stories into experiences that you can see, hear and feel "with your eyes and ears."
We need to find new ways to make climate change real to people through movement, engagement and empathy – creating experiences that bring data, words, numbers, photographs and video to vivid, emotionally engaging life. After all, nothing seems to spur collective action like shared emotional experience.
Motivate Me: Climate Change is a Communications Problem
"The emphasis on exploring these new tools and technologies for climate change communications – new ways to translate data and information into meaningful experience – is why The Nature Conservancy is here," said Victoria Hoyland, an environmental engineer for TNC in Connecticut and hackathon climate science mentor.
TNC + Climate Change
The Science of Sustainability
Actionable Science for Climate Resilience
An Optimist's Guide to Climate Change
She and several other TNC colleagues served as climate change science mentors and provided climate change data sets and technical guidance as the hackathon participants dove into their projects.
For TNC, as for many organizations working on climate change, "meaningful user experience" means experiences that will spur people to more urgent action. When it comes to our opportunities to mitigate and adapt to climate change, time is ticking for us to choose another path. The one we're on right now has the world on track to a temperature rise of more than 3 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, and possibly sooner.
"That's a problem," said Hoyland. "We have solutions and science, but TNC and our partners and everyone who cares about climate change will not make progress if we are unable to effectively communicate the urgency of challenge and the threat. Innovative approaches to climate change communications are sorely needed and mixed reality programs present an incredible opportunity to connect people to climate change data, the experiences of those affected, and potential solutions in a visceral way that could inspire transformative change because it inspires action."
"Take carbon," said Rode. "We talk all the time about carbon emissions. We all know carbon emissions are bad, but the challenge is: CO2 is an invisible gas. Odorless. If it stunk, and it made things smoky, people would be more active."
So when "we look at a VR experience, it gives us an opportunity to take cold hard facts – that are hard to visualize – in many cases even representing physical events, like the emission of CO2, that you can't see, and then find ways to make them seeable. And that really helps people appreciate the impact of what they're doing."
For example, what if there was an AR app you could be wearing in your glasses that would constantly be showing your personal real-time emissions adding up? Or showing the emissions of industry and activity around you? Being able to see the cumulative effects of activity could be a vehicle to spur that much-needed collective action.
Seeing is Believing?
What if people could see the cumulative effects of their personal lifestyle choices on climate and the environment? If there was an app that showed you what would happen if everyone made the same choices you make, would it motivate you to change your behavior, to urge others to change theirs?
That was part of the premise of Feed Stampede – one of the prototype projects to come out of the hackathon that explored how diet choice impacts climate change. Users choose virtual meals and take them to a large dinner table with a beautiful view of a healthy landscape. A narrator then details the impacts of each meal – meat, vegetarian, even insects – while the landscape alters around the eater.
Eat mostly meat? Get ready for a lot of deforestation and carbon release. More vegetables? Probably better but there are still soil carbon considerations if more land is cleared for cultivation instead of finding ways to sustainably intensify production on existing agricultural acreage.
And while personal choices matter a great deal, giving people a clearer, fact-based visceral understanding of the cumulative effects of global activity and the way people live in the world, from deforestation to unplanned development to energy production, is necessary for reaching the level of urgency that will create change at the scales needed to make a timely difference.

What if there were ways for people to see the ocean losing its ability to absorb carbon, like an over-filled glass? Or if there was a virtual reality experience that could let users experience the heat waves that recently shattered temperature records in India? We hear 118 degrees Fahrenheit and we know intellectually that it's hot, but do we really know what it feels like against our skin? How hard it is to breathe?
Would empathy be an antidote to apathy, or hopelessness? What if you could see the cumulative positive effects for the environment, climate and human health from a clean energy future?
The potential applications of these tools for communication seem limitless – but the challenge, as always, is to turn knowledge into action.

Part of the Oper.A 20.21 programme from the Haydn Foundation of Bolzano and Trento, Italy, Dionysos Rising is a new opera by Roberto David Rusconi. The production brings modern context to the myth of Dionysos, the Greek God of wine, fertility, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre, and is set in a rehabilitation centre for patients suffering from mental health issues.
Rusconi is the 2019 Artist in Residence for the Haydn Foundation and is known for his wide-ranging portfolio of immersive musical experiences for opera, theatre and dance, as well as extensive work in music for film and TV. The Dionysos Rising music uses a small orchestra together with live voices and playback.
To convey this ambitious immersive soundscape and complex scoring clearly and intelligibly to the audience, Rusconi turned to L-Acoustics' L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal technology.
The next performances of Dionysos Rising will be from 19-21 September 2019 at the Museumsquartier, Hall G, in Vienna.

Глигорие (Глиша) Елезович () е сръбски просветен деец и историк, участник в Сръбската пропаганда в Македония. Благодарение на Елезович, сръбската научна общност за първи път получава достъп до османските източници.

Биография
Елезович е роден на 6 (18) януари 1879 година в косовския град Вучитрън, тогава в Османската империя. Той завършва начално училище в родния си град и учи в сръбските гимназии в Солун и Цариград. Учи сръбска история и география и сръбски и старославянски език с диалектология във Философския факултет на Великата школа в Белград. Завършва през 1905 година и от 1907 година започва да преподава. Преподава в Плевленската гимназия, в Солунската сръбска гимназия и в Скопската сръбска гимназия, в Призренската семинария и педагогическото училище в Скопие. На тези позиции той е до 1926 година с прекъсване през Първата световна война. В 1915 година работи в гимназията във Валево.

Още като студент е активен член на младежкото движение и един от основателите на клуба "Славянски юг" и на обществото "Сръбски братя" (1905). След Младотурската революция в 1908 година е делегат на Първата сръбска конференция, провела се между 12 и 15 август 1908 г. в Скопие, на която е основана Сръбска демократическа лига в Османската империя. Пише в нейния орган "Вардар". Заедно с Милан Чемерикич стартира самостоятелен политически вестник "Глас народа" (1912, 1920 - 1922). Редактор е на "Привредни гласник", един от основателите на Скопското научно дружество и сътрудник на "Гласник" на Сръбското научно дружество (1925 - 1933). Редовен член е на Историческия институт в Нови Сад (1934), член-кореспондент на САНИ (1946), научен сътрудник на Историческия, Етнографския и Езиковия институт на САНИ. Автор е на 147 научни труда, накои от които с капитално значение.

Той е универсален изследовател. Творческият му опус обхваща проблеми от областта на филологията, диалектологията, туркологията, етнологията, историята на изкуството, ислямските изследвания, антропологията, историята и антропогеографията.

Той е бил член на Комитета за исторически и литературен материал на Сръбската кралска академия още от създаването на тази институция в 1931 година и редактор на първата книга от Сборника на исторически и литературен материал, публикуван в два тома в 1940 и 1952 г. под заглавието "Турски споменици" (Турски паметници). Има 226 турски преводи на документи от периода от 1348 до 1776 година. В тази книга има голям брой негови коментари, които могат да съставят отделна книга. В същото издание е публикувана и книгата му "Из цариградских турских архива- mühimne defteri" (Из цариградските турски архиви). Тази книга, излязла в 1951 година, поставя началото на активния интерес на сръбските учени към най-изчерпателната колекция от архивните материали от периода на османското владичество.

Чрез поредица от книги, публикувани от голям брой турски документи:
 "Турски споменици у Скопљу" (Турски паметници в Скопие, първа книга 1926, втора 1929, трета 1930),
 Соколари и соколарство (1923) и
 Турско-српски споменици Дубровачког архива (Турско-сръбски паметници от Дубровнишкия архив, 1932), която е най-важната му научна работа в тази област.

Също така значителна е работата му по превод на османски документи от архивите на Белградския пашалък, които спорадично публикува в "Београски общински новине", "Политика" и "Търговински гласник". Интерес представляват за него и турските наративни източници. Публикува преводи на пасажи от Евлия Челеби.

We all know that beer and laptops don't mix. No, I'm not referring to an email sent in anger or while under the influence. Spilling your beer can irreparably damage your laptop. A laptop repair company has shared its Top 10 list of liquid spills that damage laptops. Weighing in at number 5 is beer.
#5: Beer (6% of spills). Beer drinkers can't seem to hold their liquor around their laptops, either. Beer is part water, part sugar, part brown goo. American lagers, as well as Mexican beers such as Corona or Dos Equis, are lighter than many imported brands, and may do less damage to laptops.
Of course, you should keep all liquids away from your laptop. But if you are curious about the complete list, it's here.

Signs Your Friend Is A Narcissist
There is truly nothing better than friendship. But the quality of a friendship can take a nose dive if your friend is a narcissist. If your so called friend is negatively affecting you, you may want to reevaluate your friendship. Here are some tell-tale signs that your friend is a narcissist. If you see these signs, steer clear!
If you used to have a ton of fun hanging out with them and now you are just drained and exhausted after spending time with them. You may not realize it, but this is not healthy and you should probably take a step back from the friendship.
They believe that their opinion and their way of seeing things is the only way. In other words, it is their way or the highway. Someone making you feel that your thoughts and ideas aren't important is not good. Find a friend that respects you and your opinions.
They are really generous- or they just say they are. They trash talk mutual friends. If they are doing this, they are probably trying to make themselves look better and make others look worse. Don't give into their behavior.
When you offer advice, they think you are attacking them. You are simply just trying to be a good friend, walk away from this behavior.
If you notice these signs in any of your friends, it does not mean the friendship is simply over. Try having a conversation with them and explaining what is going on and how you feel. If they simply can't understand and get defensive, maybe the friendship isn't meant to be.

In Praise of Partisan Rancor: Politics Shouldn't Be Fun
April 28, 2015 By Robert Tracinski
A few days ago, the New Yorker's George Packer lamented that "the thrill is gone" from American politics and it's just no fun any more.
As I recall, the "fun" of politics for the left has usually been the fun of smearing those of us on the right as racist and regressive and "extremist," a term which means "outside the narrow band of debate I would like to allow." And so, predictably, Packer's list of complaints about American politics centers on "the extremism of the Republican Party"; the substantive issues he would like us to focus on are largely the favorite issues of the left, like inequality and global warming; and he ends with a "wish list" which consists of wishing that politics would move sharply to the left. (He is likely to be disappointed.)
In other words, politics isn't much fun when you're side isn't winning. In other news, water is still wet.
More deeply, the problem with Packer's complaint is this: politics is not supposed to be "fun." It's not supposed to be a thrill. Nor is it supposed to be a land of comity in which everyone agrees—quite the opposite. It is supposed to be a blood sport.
Politics is supposed to be a contest between opposing ideologies, with the highest stakes: it is a contest about the use of government force—who gets to wield it, under what circumstances, and for what purposes.
Some folks on the left get super-confused about this and try to avoid facing up to the brute fact that government is about coercion. Which is why they like to limit the debate to within an accepted range so they won't have to defend the fundamentally coercive nature of their agenda. I suspect that's a big part of the reason Packer is so sore: a nascent radical small-government contingent calls into question issues that the left-leaning establishment would like to regard as settled.
But they aren't settled. There are those, like me, whose "extremism" consists of the view that government should be extremely limited in its use of coercion, that government force should only be used to protect our rights against the private use of force. Most conservatives are not so absolute, but they at least preserve a stigma against government force: it is a necessary evil, to be used only for profound and intractable problems and only when there is no better alternative. (Which is the basic idea behind the religious freedom laws that are suddenly so controversial.) Then there is the left, which embraces government coercion more widely and with few exceptions—fewer and fewer, it seems, each decade.
Are the political debates over these issues contentious, bitter, unpleasant, intractable, and no fun whatsoever? Good! They should be. They should be about as much fun as the conflict between an armed robber and his victim, because at root they are about the same thing. One side wants to use force to get the other side to do its will. The other side wants to resist.
Politics in a free society is a contest about force, but fortunately it is not a context of force. It is carried out through peaceable, non-coercive means, which is the great virtue of representative government. This is why attempts to achieve political victory through coercion—for example, by limiting "offensive" speech—should meet with maximum resistance. But the fact that our debates are peaceful doesn't mean they have to be friendly.
As I pointed out recently, the right makes the left angry because we are thwarting their attempt to create the perfect social organization by overthrowing existing social institutions and redesigning various aspects of human life. They know the way things ought to be, and here we are messing it up by resisting them.
By the same token, the left wants to overthrow existing social institutions and redesign our lives. It wants to do the two things most likely to tick people off: taking their money and telling them what to do. And they wonder why they face a public backlash against their agenda.
Politics is not a game. When the government uses force, people get killed, their lives are disrupted, they are impoverished, harassed, inconvenienced. The underlying reality is grim, so the way we deal with it should also be a little bit grim. Parties should be lining up on these issues, taking sides, and beating the heck out of each other. It is the job of the opposition to oppose.
So yes, please, more partisan rancor and obstruction. This isn't supposed to be fun.
Unless, of course, our side is winning.

A specific post-operative recovery/exercise plan will be given by your physician to help you return to normal activity at the earliest possible. After surgery, your symptoms may improve immediately or gradually over the course of time. The duration of hospital stay depends on this treatment plan. In few instances, surgery may also be performed on an outpatient basis. You will be able to wake up and walk by the end of the first day after the surgery. Your return to work will depend on your body's healing status and the type of work/activity that you plan to resume. Discuss with your spinal surgeon and follow their instructions for optimized healing and appropriate recovery after the procedure.
Treatment results are different for each patient. All surgeries carry risk and it is important to understand the risks of the procedure in order to make an informed decision to go ahead with the surgery. In addition to the anesthetic complications, spinal surgery is associated with some potential risks such as infection, blood loss, blood clots, nerve damage, and bowel and bladder problems. Failure to fuse the vertebral bones with the bone graft (fusion failure) is an important complication of spinal fusion which requires an additional surgery.

This was my first Member/Member Tournament at the Plateau Club. Unfortunately, Rick wasn't able to play this time around so I was paired up with a guy named Dave. Nice guy with a swing that is kind of like John Daly -- minus some of the control. When he connected, though, the ball went really far. Since his handicap is more than 10 strokes above minue, though, he had to play to a lower handicap to keep to a maximum 10 stroke differential. Not the biggest deal, but those strokes would show up over the weekend.
On the first day, I get off to a really slow start. The high point was hole 10 where I birdied the hole (hadn't ever done that before) which was a net eagle. 4 points! The low points were 4, 5, 8 and 17 where I had net double bogeys for 0 points. I had way too many holes where I tried to make up for a bad tee shot and ended up just digging myself into a hole. We ended the day with 34 points in 26th place out of 29 teams. Not very good.
For Sunday, my goal was to play safer after a bad tee shot. If I had a bad drive, get back into the fairway and keep plugging away at it. This strategy worked much better and while I still didn't play that well, I was able to salvage a point or two out of holes that I would have clearly blown the day before. The scoring for Sunday was different. Rather than best ball, we would count both scores so it could be twice as good, or just as bad, depending on how both players are doing. My putting started out terribly. For the first few holes, I couldn't sink anything. I would hit the green after two or three shots and then three putt to put myself out of the points. Terrible. When we got to hole 5, I muffed my second and third shots and hit the green lying 4 with a 24 foot downhill putt to save bogey. I tapped it and it rolled straight into the hole. I've never been so happy to hit a bogey, until the next hole when the same thing happened again. Each of these bogeys were net pars so I got 2 points for them. On 7, I had a net birdie and by the end of the front 9, we had a combined 31 points. Clearly better than the day before.
The back 9 wasn't as good, but we finished the day with 53 points for a two day total of 87 and in a tie for 18th out of 29. I would call that in the middle of the pack and I was quite satisfied with it. It is interesting when you play a tournament like this where you are not looking at your total score, just how you did on each hole. It isn't quite match play where each hole is a new game but it was was still fun.


Between 2009 and 2015, the number of students reporting to campus counseling centers increased more than a third, even while enrollment grew less than 6%. The rising number of mental health issues has taxed the usual campus resources — therapists, college counselors, friendly teachers — according to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State University. Over half of the students who report problems describe "overwhelming anxiety." College counseling centers are as effective as off-campus clinics, but many students are reluctant to report mental health concerns. That means the number of actual cases is likely much higher than what's recorded and those suffering from untreated anxiety are as apt to turn up in a classroom or a campus store as they are a doctor's office.
Anxious students find many places to focus their fears — grades, money, roommate troubles — but there's no question these kids' troubles have a connection to our uneasy times. Gen Z was born into a period rocked by 9/11, the 2008 economic meltdown, widening income disparity and strident political polarization. These kids have grown up with terrorism on their radar, active shooter drills at school and families suffering from financial devastation at home. They're as familiar with catastrophe as they are smart phones and social media. How could they not be anxious?
A campus retailer can't solve all these problems, but it can lend a hand. In doing so, you'll cultivate student trust and invigorate a dialogue with a fascinating cohort that will sharpen your wits and reaffirm your choice to work in the world of education.
Offer affordable comforts — Merchandise associated with comfort and luxury is often marketed to groups with more expendable income than the typical budget-minded Gen Z maven. However, an increasing number of brands allow students to pamper themselves without overspending: bargain cosmetic lines like e.l.f., low-priced high quality essential oils like Now and everyday study-garb essentials like soft t-shirts and comfy sweats appeal to students in need of a calming diversion. Who knows? With an abundance of such items available, you may win customers who return for self-care goodies long after graduation.
Think community — Students need a hub where they can kick back, study or even forget about classes for a little while, and campus retailers can provide just such an environment. Stores that offer everything from USB ports to cafes to comfy chairs among the trade books attract students in need of connection. San Diego State University's Aztec Stores provides free gaming chairs, where kids can focus on fun between classes. De-stress events, scavenger hunts and book clubs are good ways to facilitate friendships that give students a much-needed network of support.
Get a dog or cat — Pets have a well-studied positive impact on mental health. Therapy dogs, Humane Society events and store mascots draw students in need of the unaffected empathy only a four-legged friend can offer. The Navarro College Bookstore hosts Beauregard V, the school mascot, beloved by students and the community. Swarthmore College & Community Store has two in-house Labrador retrievers, Molly and George, that students seek out daily for affection.
Nudge healthy offerings — Stress is mental and physiological. Sometimes overwhelmed students need a balanced meal and a good night's sleep more than medication or counseling. (The latter won't work without the former, campus therapists say). Many adults look back with horror on college days spent surviving on bagels, Ramen noodles and pizzas. Research shows that Gen Z kids are more health conscious than millennials and Gen Xers. One study from Barnes & Noble College revealed that 73% of surveyed students considered nutrition before purchasing a snack. It was more important to them than whether the snack was salty or sweet. Behavioral economics tells us that when stores keep healthy offerings like fruit or granola bars at eye-level — near the register, beside the coffee nook — shoppers are more inclined to pass up candy bars for the more sustaining item. Keeping foods that help students maintain a healthful diet will drive sales, and it will give students what economists call an inspiring "nudge" that helps them avoid blood sugar spikes, which exacerbate anxiety.
Regardless of whether you implement any of these ideas, it's critical to remember that students are naturally drawn to people who love learning from them. If you demonstrate genuine interest in their lives, they're likely to feel more confident in your presence. Kids don't need lectures as much they need our curiosity. Lectures presume; questions about their lives and motivations demonstrate our respect for what they know that older people don't.
After all, students may have better insight into the challenges of our day than we do. Look at the Gen Z Parkland survivors who organized the February 2018 March For Our Lives. Along with the hundreds of thousands of teens who turned out, these teens accomplished a breath-taking feat: By some estimates, the Washington D.C. march was the largest in our nation's history. That kind of moment defines a generation, regardless of individual politics or background. In this case, the march revealed that, as a group, Gen Z is engaged, aspiring and undaunted by cynicism. When students are given a chance to talk about their struggles and concerns, they often discover their own solutions. All you need to do is ask a few questions, listen and enjoy the opportunity to learn.


Photoshop, for example, places highly effective picture-processing algorithms within the palms of people who won't even know what an algorithm is. It is a difficult piece of software, but sophisticated in the way a great synth is difficult, with knobs and buttons and sliders that the person learns to play like an instrument.
A choice of places or on-line packages offer choices which might be designed to assist apprentices succeed. Nonetheless, making software this way is qualitatively totally different than traditional programming. Some reputable software developing corporations are SiliconEdge, get website ranking, Lucrosus, Software builders UK and Endeavor.
Our custom-made packages be sure that your workers obtain training within the specific ability units you need, to assist what you are promoting thrive. Most software developers work full time, and additional work hours are widespread. A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of those freedoms.

Exclusive: AXE/Skateboarder P-Rod Celebrates New Product Line
by Sade Graham May 2, 2014
written by Sade Graham
After partnering up with men's lifestyle brand AXE, professional skateboarder Paul Rodriguez, also known as P-Rod was in New York Wednesday, April 30, 2014 for a special launch event in honor of his new signature collection AXE Kilo. The six- time X Games medal winner captivated onlookers at Bathhouse Studios in Alphabet City with his "street" skateboarding skills, as he is famously known for.
With a steadily growing brand, P-Rod explained how his innate attraction to the sport as a young kid ultimately became after purchasing his first board, daily visits to his neighborhood skateboard shop, networking with other skaters, and watching skate videos helped to cultivate his now empire. The nonstop wet weather outside could not avert the skateboard junkies from lurking.
After a quick shake off, all was swell and in motion on the inside. Music, food,
beverages and goody bags were rendered while bystanders circulated the multi-level event space. After working up a sweat taking on the purpose-built skatepark with street skateboarding elements, Knockturnal.com had the chance to sit down with P- Rod himself for a quick Q&A.
Q: How did the business collaboration with AXE and your brand come about?
Paul: Through my Target endorsement, I don't know who approached who about it, but I was contacted about doing a brand take-over with AXE within Target. It sounded cool to me, so I was like sure. And after deciding to go forward with the collaboration, I asked if I could collab with one of my favorite artists Mister Cartoon, because I don't really fancy myself as a creative, kind of branding-marketing-packaging kind of guy, so I figured I knew the right person for that. I was thankful that he accepted it; he did some of his classic pieces, murals and stuff, which put a little flavor of both him and I into it. And that was really it.
Q: What are some of your hopes for your other newest venture Primitive Skateboarding that you launched just a few weeks ago (April 10)?
Paul: I got to a point in my career where I just wanted to take ownership of myself, I wanted to have a piece of me. So this was a great place to begin. Owning my own boards, after all, this is what I'm known for. Although I loved my sponsors, I am still in the prime stages of my career, been in the game for a while, I just felt that it was time to step away so that I could figure out my next move.
And since I had already been with Primitive, the store was already making a name for itself, it just made sense, why not make Primitive Skateboards and just grow that brand. There was already a great infrastructure there, so all the pieces seemed to come together. My partners do a great job so I can still focus on skateboarding, I don't have to be in the office all the time. Now I have a chance to also find new talent, grow them, and help make their dream come true like my dream was able to.
Q: Why "street" skating over the other types of skateboarding categories within your sport?
Paul: Well I picked street skating because it was initially the type of skating that I was drawn to. Street skaters are the guys jumping down the stairs, gliding on the handrails, and you know just out on the streets skating on raw city terrain. And then you have the half pipe skaters, vert-ramp skaters, transition skaters, and then there are people who can just do it all. I wish I did it all, but I just kind of grew up skating street, it was more my passion, more appealing to me, and I think it has more swag to it.

Dynamite Launches First-Ever Altered Carbon Original Graphic Novel
Following the huge success of the New York Times best-selling saga and the popular Netflix series starring Joel Kinnaman (and Anthony Mackie for Season 2), Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon is making its debut as a graphic novel, courtesy of Dynamite. Altered Carbon: Download Blues is set for May and will be written by Morgan alongside co-writer Rik Hoskin (White Sand, Red Rising) and artist Ferran Sellares (Grimm Fairy Tales).
Technology has advanced to allow human consciousness to be stored digitally and transferred to new bodies called "sleeves." Protagonist Takeshi Kovacs knows what it's like to jump from sleeve to sleeve, having been a former soldier and now currently working as a PI in a different body.
"When you go to Dynamite for a sequential art incarnation of your much loved anti-hero, you know you're not going to get short-changed. These, after all, are the guys who took on The Boys without blinking. No compromise, no punches pulled," says Morgan. "I couldn't wish for a happier, more hard-boiled home in which to have Takeshi Kovacs make his comic book debut."
"What a wonderful extension of this incredible world and what a delight to have the creator of Kovacs himself—Richard Morgan—overseeing the entirety of our first graphic novel. Rik and Ferran have done a masterful job bringing the pages to life and pushing Kovacs into a bold new direction," says Executive Editor Joseph Rybandt.
Altered Carbon: Download Blues is set to release this May in comic shops as well as digitally on Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more.

Q: Why I cannot do self.strID=nil;? self.strID=nil;

It pops error saying:
reason: '-[BGFacebookHandler setStrID:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x20525240'
* First throw call stack:
However, I declared the property as read write privately:
@property (nonatomic) NSString * strID;

The catch is it's also declared as read only publicly through protocol. Basically I am implementing that public property with a private property.
What's wrong with my approach?
Obviously I can do @synthesize, but doing so means using obsolete version of objective-c
This is a run time error. Not a compile error. The code compile just fine by the way.

A: Declaring your implementation property as part of your interface or a private extension changes nothing at runtime. There must me something else missing in your code because I have the following code fragment that works fine:
@protocol Facebook<NSObject>
- (NSString*) strID;
@end

@interface BGFacebookHandler : NSObject<Facebook>
@property (retain) NSString * strID;
@end

@implementation BGFacebookHandler
@end

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    @autoreleasepool {

        BGFacebookHandler *object = [[BGFacebookHandler alloc] init];
        object.strID = @"Hello";
        NSLog(@"strID = %@",object.strID);
    }
    return 0;

HHI and IFA - two institutions of technological history
© Fraunhofer HHI
When the first "Große Deutsche Funkausstellung" Radio Exhibition (IFA) opened on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds in December 1924, the Heinrich Hertz Institute was still a vision of the founding fathers of the Heinrich Hertz Gesellschaft. The vision became reality in 1928 and since then the Institute has often been represented at IFA.
The Heinrich Hertz Institute and the International Radio Exhibition (IFA) both have a long history. Fraunhofer HHI regularly exhibits at the IFA. Many of the institute's inventions and technologies were presented at the fair. IFA is one of the world's largest trade fairs for the electronics industry.
Many visionary research results of Fraunhofer HHI were presented at the IFA over the years. The presentation of the mirror bolt receiver with a capillary lamp (a television receiver for sound and vision) in 1933 for example, culminated in the presentation of 3D Human Body Reconstruction technology in 2017. This new technology enables the realistic image of a person to be captured and then transferred to a virtual world.
Between the two inventions lie not only decades of intensive research work, but also an eventful German history, which has left its mark in the chronicles of the two traditional technology institutions. In 1933, the name of Heinrich Hertz was removed from the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Vibration Research, which was founded in 1928, due to his Jewish heritage. The institute was moved to Schwerin during the war and later rebuilt again in Berlin. Since 2003, the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI has been part of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft for the Promotion of Applied Research.
The International Radio Exhibition looks back on changes of name and location as well, as it was once founded as the "Große Deutsche Funkausstellung". The Radio Exhibition could not take place at all from 1940 to 1949, and between 1950 and 1970, the world of technology met in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main and Stuttgart. The IFA has only been back in Berlin since 1971 and thus again close to the Heinrich Hertz Institute.

Roman Pavlyuchenko Wants To Leave Tottenham At The End OF The Season
by Punter's Hero on February 7, 2011
in Football, Latest News
Pavlyuchenko has had a difficult time over the last few season having spells of excellent form and then being dropped to the bench for a number of games.
Pavlyuchenko has now told reporters that he will look to move on at the end of the season if he fails to break into the first team.
"I don't want to be among the subs after a successful game, where I scored a goal.
"Frankly, I'm tired of waiting for another chance. I had a groin injury but I was fully prepared for the last two games against Blackburn and Bolton.
"And I didn't even get a chance in the FA Cup game at Fulham when we were 4-0 down.
"At the same time Redknapp says in interviews he needs me and is not going to sell me. My agent had a meeting with Chairman Daniel Levy but it won't change anything.
"The chairman can't get me on the pitch just because it is his will and the coach forgot."
"But Redknapp's disbelief brings all that to nothing. I'm fed up with this attitude.
"If nothing changes by the summer – and I don't think it will – I will ask them to sell me or for a loan move.
"I don't need money, I want to play football."

We had such a great time on our trip and really enjoyed our stay in Summer Wind! This was our first time staying closer to Fort Morgan and we absolutely loved how quiet it was! There was plenty of room for football and wiffle ball on the beach, and the house was well stocked with what we needed!
Hi Therese, thank you for the five star review! We are so glad you enjoyed the peace and calmness Fort Morgan provides, as it is more family oriented. We are honored you chose Harris Properties to host you and we hope you found your perfect spot in the sand!
Good place-especially if you have fur babies!
The location is perfect if you want to avoid the typical Gulf Shores crowd. There is plenty of space with beds for 10! The home is very spacious, overlooks the beach, and was perfect for our visit. We had a few issues that we made the management company aware of (the carpets needed to be cleaned, there was a strong urine smell). But we would stay again due to location and convenience with the dogs.
Hi Amy, thank you for the review as it helps us improve our properties and we love to hear guest feedback! Thank you for communicating this issue to us, we will forward this information to maintenance. We are happy you and your fur babies found Summer Wind to be an enjoyable experience. Until next time, thank you for letting Harris Properties find your perfect spot in the sand!
We enjoyed our stay here! Plenty of room here. Had a small problem with the microwave over the stove but management responded quickly which we appreciated very much. Be prepared to drive a good way into town for restaurants etc.
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you for the great review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Summer Wind! We do apologize that you had a problem with the microwave but we are happy that we were able to resolve the issue quickly for you. Thank you for letting Harris Properties help you find your perfect spot in the sand. We hope to host you again soon!
The house needs some improvements. A lot of soft spots on the floors and the dryer doesn't work well. But with that being said, the house served its purpose for us. It gave us a place to sleep and eat. We spent the entire vacation at the beach, which was a short walk out the back door. We would definitely stay here again.
We here at Harris Properties are happy to hear that you enjoyed the home Summer Wind during your stay with us.
Thank you for the great feedback about the home and that you found this home to be spacious and accommodating. We will take steps to have the issues you outlined rectified.
Thank you for the great feedback about the home and that you found this home to be overall a great place.
I want to apologize that we were not able to make this a 5 star review for you.
It is a really nice and quiet place for families to stay.
We stayed the entire week that our youngest son got married. There were 9 of us total and we had out of town guest come to visit some during the day. There is plenty of room, plenty of bedding space and plenty of room to get away from the rest of the guest if you like.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the property Summer Wind during your stay with us.
Thank you for the great feedback about the property and that it met all your needs during your young son's wedding.


A large number of decorative plants are potentially poisonous for pets. In some cases, the simple contact with them can cause skin reactions, and in others it is eating them that does some sort of harm: from a simple rash to gastrointestinal trouble, neurological disorders, respiratory distress, or cardiac alterations.
Although often the effects last only a few days, a severe poisoning can be fatal for our best friend. The level of danger depends on many factors, such as the dose, species, size of the animal, age, or previous conditions.
The toxins might be in the leaves, stems, flowers, or fruits, ever present, or associated to a certain season, like poinsettias.
Before buying a plant for your home, seek information about it. Be careful as well during walks, and prevent your pet from rubbing against or swallowing unknown plants. We need to be especially watchful with pups, for they nibble everything at hand, and are not exactly cautious with what they get into their mouths.
In face of any symptom of poisoning, such as vomiting or disorientation, ask your veterinarian before you do anything, since the treatment might be different depending on the toxin, breed of the animal, and other factors. If you can, bring a picture or sample of the plant, so the veterinarian can identify it, and apply the right treatment more quickly.
The range of plants that can to be poisonous for pets is so wide that there is no way to mention all of them here. Therefore, we have selected a few that we believe are found more often in our area. For detailed information about these and other dangerous plants, check the bibliography at the end of this article.
Alocasia, or Chinese taro (Alocasia cucullata): Like caladium, alocasia owes its toxicity to calcium oxalates, so it is very irritating both by contact and ingestion.
Aucuba, or spotted laurel (Aucuba japonica): Its most common effects are of a digestive nature. In big doses, though, it leads to neurological problems (trembling, spasms, disorientation), difficulty in breathing, and alteration of the cardiac rhythm. It might even cause internal hemorrhages, and damage to the liver and kidneys, which sometimes are mortal.
Caladium, or elephant's ear (Bicolor caladium): The whole plant is poisonous, and very irritating due to calcium oxalate crystals. Besides irritating the skin and eyes at contact, internally it causes also edemas, inflammations, and congestion.
Chrysanthemum, and Pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum, and Chrysanthemum cinerariiaefolium, respectively): Their sale is forbidden in Spain since 2004 (BOE, in Spanish), so they should not be found too often. Cats are especially sensitive to them, compared to dogs. These plants can cause dermatitis, gastritis, and coordination difficulties.
Dieffenbachia (Dieffenbachia exotica): It contains oxalates, too, so it can cause irritation of the gullet, stomach and intestines; inflammation; dermatitis, and conjunctivitis. Inflammation might develop into respiratory and cardiac distress.
Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum): It is similar to ivy, and its effects are quite alike, ranging from digestive discomfort to serious neurological problems, or even death.
Holly (Ilex aquifolium): In the Mediterranean area, holly leaves or fruits are one of the most frequent causes of poisoning in animals. They lead to stomach and intestinal irritation, with vomiting, diarrhea and slobbering. In high doses it can reduce the cardiac rhythm, and induce coma or even death.
Hyacinth (Hyacynthus): The bulb is poisonous. When eaten, it harms mainly the digestive system. Vomiting and diarrhea are the most common effect — sometimes convulsions and tachycardia, too.
Ivy (Hedera helix): Its most poisonous part are the fruits, and to a lower extent, the leaves. It can cause digestive trouble, as well as spasms and quivers when it affects the nervous system. In large quantities, it might be fatal.
Lantana or wild sage (Lantana camera): Its leaves and green fruits are very dangerous for pets. The mere contact is very irritating, and can cause dermatitis and severe internal inflammation, with resulting difficulties to swallow and breathe. In addition to that, they contain a toxin, lantadene, which can paralyze the biliary system, and lead to liver failure even in low doses.
Lilies (Lilium): They are seldom lethal, but they do cause gastrointestinal trouble, and in the most serious cases, internal hemorrhages.
Marijuana (Cannabis sativa): Since pets are smaller than humans, marijuana has more effect on them. They can experience digestive problems, cardiac alterations, disorientation, tremblings, and depression or sudden changes of humor. There are documented deaths due to cannabis, although it is not frequent.
Monstera, Adanson's monstera, or five holes plant (Monstera adansonii): Like several other plants in this list, it contains calcium oxalates. They are located in the leaves, stems, and flowers. The fruits are not poisonous, but the rest of the plant is, and very much. It causes severe discomfort, due to the oxalates' effects on the skin, mouth, and digestive organs, whose swelling might cause serious difficulties to breath, and even cardiac arrest.
Narcissus (Narcissus): Narcissus, as hyacinth, is especially poisonous when the pet eats the bulb of the plant. The effects are also similar: gastrointestinal disorders, trembling and, in the most serious cases, convulsions and alterations of the cardiac rhythm.
Oleander (Nerium oleander L.): On contact, it can cause reactions in the skin; if ingested, digestive trouble, and vomits. In the worst case scenario, oleander induces respiratory and cardiac disorders, which might be fatal.
Philodendron (Philodendron): Its toxicity is also due to calcium oxalates, therefore it has the same effects as dieffenbachia, caladium or alocasia, among others.
Poinsettia (Euphoribia pulcherrimia): Their sap is very poisonous for some animal species. Pups and kitten are most vulnerable, as they are less aware about the stuff they eat, and their organism is more sensitive. In small doses, it causes vomiting, diarrheas and slobbering. In large doses, pets can experience quivers and ravings; or, in extremely severe — and infrequent — cases, even comma and death by multiple organ failure. On contact, it can cause as well irritation and inflammation in the skin and eyes.
Rhododendron, and azaleas (Rhododendron): The toxin is in the leaves, and the flowers' nectar. It causes gastric and respiratory problems, and might end in death.
Sago palm (Cycas revoluta): this plant is especially dangerous, since it is mortal in a 50-75 % of cases. It can cause gastrointestinal distress, internal hemorrhages, neurological problems, and liver failure. The whole plant is poisonous — the seeds even more so.
Savin juniper or savin (Juniperus sabina): Savin is very dangerous for pregnant females, due to its abortive properties. Generally, it can cause damage to the kidneys and digestive tract. Besides, it can irritate the skin and eyes.

Q: Having trouble refactoring an IEnumerator method with multiple yields The gist of my code is as follows:
// Play the first beat
audio.PlayOneShot(beat);

// Show 1st heartbeat border flash
TweenAlpha.Begin(heartbeatPanel.gameObject, 0.1f, currentStress);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
TweenAlpha.Begin(heartbeatPanel.gameObject, 0.5f, 0);

yield return new WaitForSeconds(interval);

// Play the second beat
audio.PlayOneShot(beat);

// Show 2nd heartbeat border flash
TweenAlpha.Begin(heartbeatPanel.gameObject, 0.1f, currentStress);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
TweenAlpha.Begin(heartbeatPanel.gameObject, 0.5f, 0);

yield return new WaitForSeconds(interval * 2);

Now I want to split the above code into a single IEnumerator method with 2 calls.
This is what I came up with:
StartCoroutine(PlayBeat(currentStress, interval));
StartCoroutine(PlayBeat(currentStress, interval * 2));

// ...

IEnumerator PlayBeat(float currentStress, float interval)
{
     audio.PlayOneShot(beat);

     TweenAlpha.Begin(heartbeatPanel.gameObject, 0.1f, currentStress);
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
     TweenAlpha.Begin(heartbeatPanel.gameObject, 0.5f, 0);

     yield return new WaitForSeconds(interval);
}

The problem with this is that instead of the beats sounding with their correct interval, both beats sounded at the the same time and because I have these calls in an infinite loop, Unity crashed because the intervals are not being considered.
What's the best way to extract my two repetitive blocks of code above into a single IEnumerator method?

A: Unity3d's Coroutines can be nested.  To wait for a nested coroutine you need to yield it.  So your function PlayBeat is fine; you just need to start it in a way that unity3d understands to mean "wait until complete".  Your example would then look as follows:
yield return StartCoroutine(PlayBeat(currentStress, interval));
yield return StartCoroutine(PlayBeat(currentStress, interval * 2));

It's uncanny how similar that looks to C# 5's async/await.  At some level this is unsurprising since they're both compiler-transformed "coroutine" statemachines - but it's still neat to see the similarity.

Simon Rogan
Combining techniques from the kitchen at Fera, Simon created four unique Michelin-star-inspired snacks in a graze punnet format.
There are only 100 graze X Simon Rogan #futureofnacking limited edition snack boxes available. To be in with a chance of winning a box, visit www.graze.com from 12th Nov – 22nd Nov to enter the ballot.
You've teamed up with graze to create some Michelin starred snacks. Can you tell our readers a little bit about the development process behind this?
graze approached me with the idea for the collaboration to try to bring about more new, exciting and different things to eat. They wanted to explore what might be possible in the The Future of Snacking, so I tried to take graze's innovation and expertise and combine that with what I'm doing across my restaurants and ventures, as well as putting fresh ideas together to think of something really new and exciting.
What could our grazers expect to find in the graze x Simon Rogan snack box?
Lots of exciting and unusual ingredients and flavour combinations that you don't expect to see in a typical graze snack box. We wanted to make something really special so there's lobster, chicken skin, and two different types of cheese…
What is it like to work in one of the most prestigious hotels in the world and can you tell our readers a little bit about the Fera dining experience?
It's pretty special to be able to trade in such an amazing place and to work with such an outstanding team. It's a very slick operation so a lot has rubbed off me as a businessman too.
The dining experience shares the same ethos and basic style as say L'Enclume or The French but the repertoire is different and the overall experience caters for a much larger dining room with a very different and varied clientele.
What's next for you? Do you have any exciting projects you can share with us in the pipeline?
Maybe we will open a new restaurant but we're always very careful about how anything we open will sit with the other restaurants that we have. It could be something international, you never know. I think that it's important to us that the brand is kept in keeping with the others and that we should be protective of its reputation.
We're also ensuring we're getting our teams and structure right so that we're not stretched when the right proposition to expand comes along
You have trained under some influential chefs, who has influenced you the most?
My first Head Chef Paul Norman gave me the most amazing classical grounding as a chef, which I think, is massively important and Jean Christophe Novelli introduced me to a more modern style of cooking and the art of being a restaurateur.
You are known for your foraging technique. How important is the sourcing of ingredients when creating new dishes?
Foraging is a great way to get the best of nature's ingredients from the UK countryside. It's a natural larder from which to source the best seasonal wild ingredients. We do most of our foraging in Cumbria, where my restaurant L'Enclume is. We don't over do it though; this is just a part of what we do.
Working with seasonal ingredients is a really good sustainable way of finding fresh, flavoursome ingredients at their prime throughout the year. We try to bring the best of British ingredients into our menus, making the most of the countryside and our farm around us.
When developing a new dish, where do you get ideas from?
Fundamentally most ideas come from the product available to us. It used to be all sorts, such as technology, different cuisines of the world, ceramics and many other things. Now the farm drives us and I say we, because now input comes from all, we have a development committee sort of process, but I have the final say.
What first inspired you to become a chef?
My father worked in the fruit and veg wholesale markets in Southampton and used to bring home all sorts of weird stuff, which I became fascinated with, and led me into finding out what to do with them. I sort of become a keen cook at home first.
Have you got any top tips for budding cooks who want to stand out and make it as a top chef?
Don't be afraid to try new things and experiment. If you want to stand out from the crowd then get creative and make sure that your personality and passion shines through your dishes to present something special.
What's your favourite food? Do you have any guilty pleasures?
I love Thai food, I love the fragrance, and I am always partial to a bit of spice and it's generally pretty tasty too. I am guilty in partaking of the odd fish finger butty too.
Working in a restaurant entails a very busy, hectic lifestyle – what to do you do to unwind?
On the occasions I have a bit of time to myself, I obviously like to spend it with my family just chilling at home, or walking along the beach. I am into music and am a keen cyclist too. I also enjoy jumping in my little runabout, getting the top down and getting out into the countryside.
Any tips for those wanting to try out cooking modern British food at home?
Generally, a technical approach to our cooking in the UK is becoming less in your face and more simple, but something we all love and should do more of is cooking on barbecues. Cooking over fire has been man's chosen way of for thousands of years, everyone likes a BBQ and they're not just for indoors, you can get mini ones for the house, which are great. We used a Green Egg barbecue to grill our cauliflower for the graze X Simon Rogan collaboration snacks.
Which are some of your favourite restaurants around London?
If I could go anywhere right now, it would be Johnny Boer's Librije.
In a few sentences, can you tell our readers what an average day is like?
My average day is long, pretty hectic and crammed full of all sorts of commitments.
Every day is different and things can be quite stressful, but I have enjoyed the change from chef with a single site to restaurateur of multi sites leading many people.
As a chef you spend hours in the kitchen, do you still get pleasure cooking at home or would you prefer to go out to dinner?
To be honest, I hardly ever cook at home, I leave that to my partner Penny and I love it, but we also eat out a lot too, although generally not in the places you would expect. When I am not working I like to be private and relaxed and eat simply.
Do you have a motto in life?
Always try your best but be humble and respectful.
Never take yourself too seriously; there is a lot of bad stuff in the world that always brings things into perspective.
