Most of us have no idea where our business will take us or where it can take us. Will it grow? Do you want it to grow?
Do you have visions of your business expanding beyond just you? Maybe you want to be the next Dinosaur Designs, Jonathan Adler… or Poppy Treffry?
In this episode I chat with Poppy Treffry, who runs a very successful creative business that has shown impressive growth since she began. Poppy is from Cornwall, England, and currently runs her own textile business, which has grown to the point where she now has 2 retail stores, and 15 staff. All her work is still handmade locally, and designed by Poppy.
Poppy shares the how's, the why's, the challenges she has had to face, and the experiences she has encountered along the way.
If you ever plan on expanding your business – or, if you're on the fence about the idea of having employees – don't miss this interview!
Poppy's little business evolved naturally and she made sure she took every opportunity available to her.
Her first staff member started with her within her first year of business when wholesale orders started rolling in.
Poppy decided to open her own retail store when she was pregnant with her daughter but it was a couple of years later that it became a reality.
Poppy now has two retail stores – both in seaside towns. Bliss!
Poppy hired her sister as help with marketing quite early on.
The next pair of hands needed were for packing and shipping orders.
There are now four people working for Poppy as makers.
There are now 15 members including shop staff, workshop hands and sales staff.
Poppy now has the title of 'Design and Direction' within the business.
Managing the peaks and troughs are one of the biggest challenges she faces as a small business.
Selling to large retail stores and featuring in print have been great highlights fir the biz.
Social media and email newsletters have been vital for the business and a great way of keeping in touch with loyal customers.

Master Michel Wolffauer has been in the SCA since 1989, but only seriously started playing in 1996 at Pennsic 25. He originally discovered the SCA in the Barony of Bhakail, but has spent most of his time in the Shire of Hartshorn-dale.
Michel was a protege to Dame Margarete of Stirlingshire. Michel is a member of the Order of the Silver Crescent and the Order of the Manche. He was elevated to the Order of the Pelican on January 17th, 2009.
Michel is a 16th century merchant from Augsburg, Bavaria (Germany). He works and travels in the service of the Fugger banking family. When not working he can usually be found gambling at the nearest tavern.


Fort MacArthur is a wonderful naval base located in San Pedro. Military bases are often kept to a standard in appearance, but there were some unsightly power and lighting problems that were marring the landscape nearby the Officers' Quarters. Knowing the appearance standards of the military, the area needed sturdier lighting poles without a mess of powered cables strung between them for poor lighting.
Greenshine collaborated with an 8A Prime Contractor to install 45 Lumina 30 lights for perimeter security lighting throughout the Officers' Quarters for the initial phase in 2016. A second phase to install lighting is planned for 2019.
The naval base has a much better aesthetic for the officers living in the area. The lighting poles are sturdier than the old wood poles that were originally there, and the Lumina lights provide enough light for safety and beautification for the area. Another success for Greenshine!


If you've been reading the BookBub Partners Blog for awhile, you already know that the size of a discount can impact the number of copies an ebook sells during a price promotion. In this post, we'll be looking at the relationship between discount price and conversion rate, or how many people buy a book after clicking through to its product page.
Why is this important? A negative trend would suggest that higher prices dissuade readers who showed initial interest in your book (by clicking on the link to the product page) from making the final purchase. And as we know, many of those readers aren't nearly as influenced by price when it comes to authors they already know and like. So you could be losing long-term fans who would spend money on your books in the future if they did purchase and read the discounted title.
Lastly, we compared books published by independent authors against those from traditional houses. Again, we found that conversion rate dropped off with price — though interestingly, the trend was less noticeable for indies beyond the $1.99 price point. One explanation for this is that many of the more expensive indie books we feature are top-selling box sets, which could skew the data with unusually high conversions.
A limitation of this analysis is that it only considers average performance across different books, so it's impossible to completely isolate the impact of price without considering external factors. For example, the data doesn't account for the fact that books with better platforms might be both more expensive and have higher conversion rates.
However, the relationship between platform and conversions would if anything suggest a steeper downward trend than the charts above illustrate. For example, the most popular books BookBub features may be both more expensive and generate unusually high conversion rates because of their popularity (rather than their price), skewing the average upwards at higher price points. The consistency of the numbers across categories and publishers also suggests a legitimate relationship between conversion rate and price.
This doesn't mean that you should never promote your book at a higher price point. But what it does suggest is that the value of a steep discount goes beyond enticing readers to click on your book in the first place, and may hold sway when they're deciding whether or not to put their money where their interest lies.


This IoT 1-channel DPDT relay controller was designed to function as a shield for today's most popular IoT communication modules, including Particle Photon, Electron, Bluz, Arduino, and many more. On-board DPDT relays are ideally suited for control of telecommunications, audio, and other low-power switching applications. The DPDT relay on this controller contains two separate switches that switch simultaneously with 6 connection points.
This controller is based on the MCP23008, a common I2C interface chip for GPIO applications. In this design, the GPIO port is used to control a DPDT relay. Seven programmable Digital Input/Output port pins are also available via screw terminals for use in Contact Closure detection applications or monitor and control external TTL circuits. Three on-board address jumpers allow up to 8 similar devices (based on the MCP23008 or MCP23017) to be chained to the same I2C bus for individual control. On-board status LED displays the on/off status of the relay. This controller may be powered using our optional power supply or with 12VDC and direct screw terminal connection of bare power wires. The on-board relay is accessible to the user via screw terminals, capable of accepting 14 AWG wire.
This controller has one DPDT relay on the circuit board, providing 3 connections to the relay: Common, Normally Closed, and Normally Open. The Common connection is always connected to the Normally Closed connection when the relay is off. When the relay switches on, the Common connection is disconnected from the Normally Closed and Connected to the Normally Open (2 sets, 6 total connections per relay). External loads may be wired to be off all the time and turn on when the relay turns on. Optionally, external loads may be wired to be on all the time, with the external load switching off when the relay is activated. The on-board relay is rated at 5 Amps 250VAC or 5 Amps at 24VDC. The on-board relay is controlled using the MCP230xx Series Programmable GPIO Port Expanders from Microchip Technology. The relay is controlled by a MCP23008 using GPIO0, GPIO 1:7 are available for user interface via screw terminals. Controlling the on-board relay is easy: Set GPIO0 as a Digital Output. Next, set the on/off status of GPIO0 to activate the relay. A LED indicates the status of the on-board relay. All of these operations are handled for you when using the drivers supplied in our GitHub repository (ControlEverythingCom). Induction suppression capacitors are strongly advised for inductive switching applications (anything that generates a magnetic field). Induction suppression capacitors will prolong the life of the relays and help prevent malfunctions when switching high voltages.


Word sprints (also known as word wars) can help you increase your word count by turning a small writing session into a race against the clock and potentially another writer.
(WARNING: The prompts may contain movie references some people do not know and/or approve of).
Do you use word sprints for motivation and efficiency?
What are your favorite tools for facilitating word sprints?
I love word sprints! I will have to check out a few of those other options. I hadn't heard of all of them. Thanks for sharing this, Perry!

Coach Allen Tuesday
On the game: "I thought there were some areas where I thought we did well. I thought we started the game off strong offensively and defensively. And then I thought the third quarter was really the turning point in the game with the poor snap and then the blocked punt really kind of turned the game around and gave them all the momentum. That was a big turning point in the game."
On if Travis Goethel had practiced snapping and if they were prepared for that: "Obviously, we could have [been better prepared] and that falls on me. I have to do a better job of making sure we're prepared for all those different situations. We practiced Travis snapping the ball, but we could have probably done a better job of putting him in more live type of situations and giving him the opportunity to do it that kind of represented what he would see in a regular game."
On if he spoke to Goethel: "No, I haven't spoken to Travis about it. Hey, listen, he was asked to do a job and he went out and did it to the best of his ability, and we have to help him. We have to give him a better opportunity to be ready for those situations."
On Jon Condo: "Condo had a concussion so he'll have to be cleared medically. I don't know at what point that would happen, but we've obviously got some plans in place in case he's not ready to play."
On if they'll bring in another long snapper: "That's an option that we're looking at, yeah."
On if he thought about not punting anymore: "Yeah, no, we actually were in a 4-down type of situation and it was 4th and really long there at one point in time and we decided to go ahead and punt it and it didn't work out."
On the 12-men in the huddle penalty: "It was a little bit of a miscommunication there. We were trying to get a personnel grouping onto the field and there was miscommunication on the field as to who needed to be in there. So we have to do better at that. Those are inexcusable. That falls on us as a coaching staff and we'll be better at that as we move forward."
On beating themselves rather than losing to Chargers: "Well I don't want to take anything away from them. I thought they played outstanding in the game. I thought they had a good plan offensively, defensively and in the kicking game. We've got to execute better. And really what we have to concern ourselves is how do we improve in those areas from game number one to game number two.
On Ron Bartell and Jacoby Ford: "Bartell has a shoulder injury. I'm not sure the extent to the shoulder injury. He's having an MRI right now. Jacoby Ford is going to have surgery on his foot this afternoon in Carolina."
On how long Ford will be out: "I do not know that for sure."
On if they'll bring up a receiver from the practice squad: "We're going to look at that. Right now we've got five receivers available to us, so Reggie [McKenzie] and I will sit down and look at where we're at and if that's something we need to do."
On if it's too late to add him to long-term injured reserve: "No, that's a potential."
On what the surgery is for: "It's really basically the same injury he had last year. When he reinjured it this season there was nothing new structurally different from where it was last year. After visiting with the foot specialist there in Carolina, everybody thought that given a little bit of time, he could come back from it. After giving it some time and reevaluating, everybody, the medical people, felt like surgery was the best thing for him."
On if there was a setback: "No, it just didn't respond like everybody was hoping that it would."
On the likelihood he'll be out for several weeks: "Yeah, it'll be a significant amount of time. I don't know exactly what that number would be."
On the running game last night: "We ran the ball effectively early in the game. It was a little later in the game, our last eight rushes, was minus-3 and then we kind of got away from the running game at the end of the game when we were in the catch-up mode. I'm not discouraged where we're at running the ball. We still need to be more effective running the ball, but part of it was we had a couple negative plays that really played into account to the lack of rushing yardage."
On how to balance getting Darren McFadden touches and keeping him fresh: "We're going to have to use the other backs a little bit more and keep Darren a little bit more fresh. He played a lot of snaps in the game. We felt like that gave us the best chance to win last night. We'll continue to evaluate that situation as we go throughout the season. We're going to have to get some other touches for some of the other backs so we can keep Darren healthy."
On if Taiwan Jones' ball security issues played into how much he was used: "Yes."
On if that was why he was downing the ball in the end zone for kickoffs: "That was something we discussed as a staff what we felt like was the best thing as far as returning those kicks. Back when they kicked the ball from the 30-yard line, nobody brought it out of the end zone. Now they're five yards closer and kicking it five to seven yards deep and people are bringing it out and you see a lot more negative plays, tackles inside the 20, and we wanted to make sure we secured the ball on the 20-yard line."
On if trouble getting the ball downfield in passing game was due to Chargers defense or if offense was looking to get short-yardage plays: "No, it was a little combination of both. I thought Carson [Palmer] did a nice job of looking to try to get the ball down field, not forcing the ball downfield, taking his checkdown when it was available. I think Carson ended up throwing for…I think we netted 252 or something like that. So we threw the ball effectively. We had five explosive gains in the passing game. So the passing game was not the issue. The issue was the turnovers and the punt team, the mishandles or the poor snaps, as well as the blocked kick."
On the fact Raiders should have been allowed another play at end of game: "I knew the rule that if they touch the ball first that it was illegal touching and we should be awarded another play. I wasn't sure exactly who touched the ball first when it happened in the game and it was later that I realized it was them who touched the ball first."
On if they'd consider Chad Johnson: "I wouldn't specify him specifically as there's interest there. Like I've told you guys before, I mean, we're going to look at everybody that's available and if we feel like there's somebody that can help us and give us a chance to be better and help this team win, then we're going to do that. If he fits that category, then I wouldn't rule anything out."
On if Denarius Moore will play this week: "I'm very hopeful that Denarius will play this week."
On why Mike Mitchell wasn't used against Antonio Gates: "Just more of a game plan thing. I thought Tyvon [Branch] matched up on him pretty well. Gates had a couple third down conversions in the game that were big conversions, but I felt like we did a decent job on Gates throughout most of the game."
On Miles Burris: "Miles plays the game the right way. He plays with passion, he plays with energy, he plays with speed. If he continues to work to get better, which I know that he will, I would expect him to improve as a football player. I was pleased with the way that he played in the game and we have to continue to see the improvement from Week 1 to Week 2."
On determining which offensive linemen will be up for the game: "Generally you're going to have someone that can play inside and somebody that can play outside. That's been pretty standard that you're going to take seven offensive linemen most of the time into the game unless you have some other situation that would require you to do otherwise. So we felt that having Wiz [Stefen Wisniewski] up in the game and having Willie Smith up in the game was our best options."
On Pat Lee's play: "Hey listen, we've got NFL football players on our roster and we expect them to go out and play like NFL players. I thought he went out and did a pretty good job last night against a pretty good group of receivers and a pretty good passing game."
On success defending the run: "It was good. Our ability to stop the run a lot of times with seven men in the box was a good thing. I thought our front, as well as our linebackers, did a nice job of understanding what the run fits were and understanding the schemes that were getting. We have to continue to play the run that way."
On Marcel Reece's role after getting a contract extension: "I think if you looked at the game the other night, you saw him being used in a lot of different ways. I don't know that he got the ball as much as what you might like, but a lot of that is dictated based of what kind of coverage you get in the passing game. I thought the way that we used Marcel yesterday was done the right way and I think he's a weapon and we're going to continue to find ways to use him."
On the short week: "It's tough when you're short a day. We spent the early part of this morning trying to make the corrections from last night's game and then we're into the game planning stages for Miami. We have a lot of work to do. We have a short time to get it done so we're going to be busy getting ready for this game."
On if the coaching staff worries about the team's past losses in Miami: "Every year is a new year so I don't really pay a whole lot of attention to that. We've got to go play a 10:00 a.m. game on our body clock. We get up early in the morning and have our meetings and practice and so I don't really look at that as a crutch or an excuse. We have to go play a game and whenever they tell us to kick it off, we'll be ready to kick it off."
On if Wisniewski will start: "We're going to look at it this week. Obviously, there is still a competition there and he'll get some first team reps this week."
On emotions after first game as head coach: "Just get better. Me get better individually, us as a coaching staff, the players, this organization. I don't try to get too high or too low after a win or a loss. This is not a sprint, this is a marathon. That was one of 16 games. We have 15 more of them that we're guaranteed and we're going to try to get better every week."
On the unpredictability of having long snapping issues: "No, I didn't lay asleep at night dreaming about that, that's for sure. Yeah, but that's the National Football League, injuries happen. You've got to be prepared for just about anything. We'll be more prepared for that next time it comes up."

Tease England Rugby fans with the launch of RFU Inside Line.
To launch the return of a new online series for RFU Inside Line a teaser film and supporting print was shot at Twickenham Stadium to engage the England Rugby fans.
The concept was fun and simple, brining to life the behaviours of the super fan as they go to great lengths to infiltrate the England Rugby camp. Maybe somebody should tell them about Inside Line.

Five Questions with Invest in Denmark's Jens Birk
10 and a half years at the Danish Embassy in Paris. 14 and a half years at Denmark In New York. Jens Birk, Deputy Director at Invest in Denmark, North America, has been working for Denmark for 25 years, promoting Danish interests and broadcasting Denmark's unique market opportunities to foreign companies on both sides of the Atlantic.
As a celebration of his jubilee, Denmark in New York sat down with him to talk about his successes in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the highlights of a quarter-century long career.
You work with Life Sciences for Invest in Denmark. What does your job consist of?
I work very closely with US pharma and biotech companies, informing them about opportunities in Denmark within the area of clinical research, among others, and set up informational roundtables at the Residence of Denmark in New York. We also consult with medtech companies about using Denmark as a gateway to the Nordic countries or the entire European market. The very important Danish life sciences cluster, combined with the government's new growth strategy for the sector, make Denmark a very competitive location for biopharma and medtech companies.
In addition to this, I also work on cross-sector activities such as a design project that integrates Culture, Press, Public Diplomacy, Trade and Invest in Denmark. I find that there are many opportunities to explore synergies within the Consulate, other representations and the Ministry, but that it just takes time to identify them. We have just moved to a new open office space at Denmark House and it has certainly helped us exchange knowledge more easily.
What has been your biggest work-related achievement so far?
It's hard to pinpoint one single achievement, but in general I think it would have to be bringing more clinical research to Denmark for the benefit of patients in Denmark and around the world. By bringing companies to Denmark, we can help accelerate the development of new treatments and make them available to Danish patients as early as possible. And it enhances the Danish life sciences cluster.
Jens Birk, Deputy Director at Invest in Denmark
What is the best thing about your job?
The best thing is knowing that I'm making a difference and creating value for Denmark and for our clients. And then, of course — having such fantastic colleagues! It is very inspiring to work with colleagues and customers who are passionate about what they do. Over the years, I've found that people working in the life sciences industry tend to be extremely proud of what they do. Overall, this makes it very meaningful to go to work every day.
Before you started here, you worked at the Danish Embassy in Paris for more than 10 years. What is the biggest difference between working for Denmark in New York and Denmark in Paris?
There are many differences. But in general I would say that France tends to be very centralized and a lot of companies are located in or near Paris. Whereas in the US, the distances are so much bigger and you have to spend a lot of time traveling to meet the companies. I also find that with US executives you have to be extremely targeted in your approach and have a very strong value proposition to get them to accept a meeting.
You've been living and working here in New York for almost 15 years now. What is the best thing about New York?
The diversity! I love meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, and New Yorkers are in general very curious about who you are and where you come from. I am constantly being challenged and inspired, and there's an openness and tolerance that I haven't experienced anywhere else.

5 DANGEROUS HEALTH RISKS OF TATTOOS
Photo byKopano Monaheng .
Tattoos remain popular and people get them for a multitude of reasons. But before you finally make the decision to "ink" your skin, it's worth understanding all the potential risks.
Cape Town dermatologist Dr Ian Webster previously told Health24 that you should only go to a professional tattoo artist. Severe complications can arise if the instruments are poorly sterilised or not used correctly. And always check that the tattoo parlour is hygienic and clean.
Transmission of serious infections like HIV and hepatitis, as well as allergic reactions may occur, and many people don't consider these dangers beforehand, said Dr Webster.
Tattooing implants permanent granules of pigment granules under the skin. Aside from the usual dangers (HIV and other blood-borne infections), here are five complications you could experience after getting a tattoo.
1. You could be allergic to the ink
UK mother Nicola Hickman decided to get a tattoo of a heart on her ankle to show her love for her daughter. Everything was fine until six weeks later.
"I noticed that the tattoo was bumpy and the red colour was fading. I went back to the tattooist to ask his opinion, and he said he would be happy to top up the colour when the bumps went down," Hickman told the Daily Mail.
He told her to use an antiseptic cream. However, it just worsened. "I tried to ignore it but it got to the point where I couldn't think of anything else. I couldn't wear proper footwear and I couldn't sleep on it."
Hickman was allergic to the red ink. "The dermatologists took one look at it and were shocked. They'd never seen an allergic reaction like it before. They took pictures which they wanted to use for a report in a medical journal," she said.
Doctors had to surgically remove the growth that developed 11 months later, and she was left with a 4cm scar on her ankle.
"I had another tattoo done of my daughter's name in black ink on my neck and I've never had any problems with it. They're still not sure what it was in the red ink which caused the allergic reaction. It might have been a metallic chemical. My ankle's still not perfectly healed, but I'm glad the growth has gone."
According to an article in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, "classic pigments and their degradation products used in tattooing, such as dichromate (green), cobalt (blue), cadmium (yellow) and mercury salt (red)-based pigments are responsible for these kind of [allergic] reactions with permanent tattoos."
When a foreign substance is introduced into the skin during tattoo, it can cause a toxic or immunological response. This reaction can occur shortly after the tattoo or years later.
2. A tattoo could hide skin cancer
German clinicians report a case in JAMA Dermatology where a man wanted to have multicoloured tattoos removed from his arms and chest. However, doctors noticed a suspicious-looking mole inside a tattoo on his right arm, which they recommended having removed before starting laser therapy.
The man refused to have it excised and began laser therapy. Forty-seven surgeries and seven years later, the mole had to be removed and was diagnosed as stage 2 melanoma.
Dr Robert Shmerling, faculty editor at Harvard Health Publications, says tattoo ink may hide changes to moles, making it difficult to evaluate. The ink can also move into underlying tissues and resemble the spread of metastatic melanoma.
He says laser removal therapy is problematic if you have moles because the lasers break up the pigment of the tattoo. "Lasers break up pigment inside the tattoo. But it can also break up pigment inside a suspicious mole, making assessment of the mole difficult."
If you still want a tattoo, make sure you have it done on skin that has no moles or birthmarks, or ask your doctor to check any of the moles before you are tattooed.
3. It could affect how you sweat
Tattoos may interfere with how your skin sweats – compared with non-inked skin, tattooed skin releases about 50% less sweat.
"We also found the sodium in sweat was more concentrated when released from tattooed skin," Maurie Luetkemeier, a professor of physiology at Alma College in Michigan, said. Your skin usually reabsorbs sodium and electrolytes released during perspiration, but he says tattoos may partially block this reabsorption.
It won't really matter if you have a single small tattoo but if you have a large tattoo – particularly on your back, arms or other areas with many sweat glands – your body may struggle to cool itself down and hold onto nutrients.
"You look at someone in the military, where tattoos are very prevalent, and if they're exposed to high heat and a heavy workload, there could be thermoregulatory problems," Prof Luetkemeier said.
He does add that this is speculative, however, so more research may be needed – but it's worth keeping in mind if you are planning a large piece of ink on your body.
4. It could raise your risk of a bacterial infection
An article in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery says tattoos can cause bacterial infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, which could lead to impetigo, erysipelas and septicaemia; Staphylococcus aureus can cause rare toxic shock syndrome; skin and soft tissue infections can be caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA); treponema pallidum can cause syphilis; and Mycobacterium leprae which causes leprosy.
A case study published in BMJ Case Reports refers to a man who got a leg tattoo and then swam in the Gulf of Mexico. He was admitted to hospital with an infection with the bacterium Vibrio vulnificus. He suffered from skin necrosis and septic shock for two months before dying. While the man didn't die directly from the tattoo, he did have chronic liver disease.
Unfortunately the recently tattooed skin allowed the bacterium, which he was exposed to in the sea water, to enter his blood stream. "Infections can also occur with exposure of open wounds to contaminated salt or brackish water," the study adds. "However, this represents an uncommon mechanism of infection."
5. A tattoo may lead to complications during medical procedures
You're probably not thinking about MRIs when you're having a tattoo done but studies show that metal-based ink tattoos can react with magnetic resonance imaging studies.
An article in the American Journal of Roentgenology reports a man who received second-degree skin burns in two tattoos while having a cervical spine MRI. He complained of a burning sensation on his arm – his tattooed skin was raised and swollen. In another case, a professional football player sustained a burn on a tattoo following an MRI of his pelvis.
The study says burn was caused by an "electromagnetic reaction due to the ferromagnetic metallic compounds found in tattoo pigments, especially iron oxide – a reaction that has the potential to distort the field of image."
Fortunately this reaction is rare but if you are thinking about getting a tattoo, experts suggest avoiding iron-based inks that may interfere with MRIs, or alerting your doctor if you already have such a tattoo.
What kind of reactions may occur after getting a tattoo?
According to the US Food and Drug Administration, you could notice a rash in the area of the tattoo or develop a fever.
More severe complications include a high fever, chills and sweats. You may need to treat an infection with a course of antibiotics or have surgery. A rash could indicate an allergy to the ink – remember, tattoo inks are permanent, which means the reaction may persist.
See your doctor if you have any concerns about, or adverse reactions to tattoos.

Why 'Stranger Things' Is The Best Show On Netflix
© 21 Laps Entertainment
If you haven't discovered Stranger Things yet, here are five reasons why you should stop what you're doing and watch the Netflix original series right now.
The nostalgic sci-fi series Stranger Things has dominated the summer television landscape, quickly earning cult status and spawning legions of fans who pepper social media with their art, playlists, speculative theories, and proclaiming of newfound celebrity obsessions.
In the eight episodes of the inaugural season, the show's creators the Duffer Brothers conjured a rich and complex world that draws heavily on '80s nostalgia, mold-breaking scripts, and a killer soundtrack. Whether you're marinating in the afterglow or have yet to start watching, here's a rundown of what makes the series so damn good.
Lucas, Mike and Dustin search for Will © 21 Laps Entertainment
The '80s nostalgia is on point
Nostalgia is a mainstay of the series, which takes place in 1983. Writer-creator-directors the Duffer Brothers have paid meticulous attention to period detail from Karen Wheeler's Farrah Fawcett coif to Eleven's obsession with Eggo Waffles to the boys' fascination with ham radio and walkie talkies. The series is primarily told from the perspective of Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, the lovable 12-year-old nerds on a mission to find their missing friend, Will.
Their hunt draws heavily from nerdtastic '80s sensibility – their hypotheses are spawned and substantiated by a litany of cultural referents like fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, Return of the Jedi, and The Uncanny X-Men comic book series. The characters' subcultural savvy adds a clever dimension, going beyond superficial trappings to render the Reagan era in earnest.
Furthermore, the Duffer Brothers' directorial homages to kings of 80s cinema seal the deal: the band of kids on bikes draws from Steven Spielberg's E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the incremental reveal of Eleven's powers from Jaws; the 'Upside Down's' otherworldly monster bears aesthetic similarities to Ridley Scott's and James Cameron's Alien(s); and the small town with a sordid, supernatural secret seems to mirror David Lynch's Twin Peaks – to name only a few.

The young cast is stellar
Though the main characters of Stranger Things are kids, the series is quite adult with deeply written roles and an excellent cast. The young actors bring maturity beyond their years to the leading roles. Millie Bobby Brown is show-stopping as Eleven, the girl with mysterious psychokinetic abilities. For a role with such few words, Brown's presence is fiercely commanding.
Mike, Dustin and Lucas' strong and charismatic rapport immediately endears the audience to the band of outcast best friends. Finn Wolfhard's frustrated but passionate ethos, and his sensitivity with fellow outsider Eleven, infuses his character Mike with the emotional intensity of pre-teendom. Gaten Matarazzo is Dustin, the adorable toothless sage who plays mature and even-keeled mediator between bright-eyed Mike's eagerness and Lucas' (Caleb McLaughlin) skepticism.

The music rules
The compelling score, written by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein from the Austin, TX band S U R V I V E, juxtaposes throbbing beats and glittering synths to create spacey and suspenseful sequences befitting the mood of the series. Dixon and Stein count John Carpenter's The Thing and German electronic music collective Tangerine Dream among their influences, but the synths also bear a resemblance to rhythmic undulation of the X-Files theme and the ominous hum in the title sequence of '80s TV classic Tales From The Darkside.
After much acclaim from internet fans, an official Stranger Things, Vol. 1 soundtrack was released. While the score is impressive on its own, the series also nods its head to classic bands of the day like the Clash, Toto, Echo and The Bunnymen, and Joy Division.
There are no damsels in sight
The female characters in Stranger Things are convincingly strong and authentically flawed, unchained from traditional female tropes. Winona Ryder brings a ferocity to the role of Joyce Byers, who is so hell-bent on finding her missing son Will that she turns to seemingly fantastical theories, further ostracizing her from her provincial community. Ryder has brought more than a few beloved alt girls to life in her career – most notably, Beetlejuice's goth outcast Lydia Deetz and vengeful prepster Veronica Sawyer in Heathers, making her a clever choice for a series so thoroughly steeped in '80s-ness.

Despite her power, the aforementioned Eleven is timid at first, having escaped the trauma of mysterious government experimentations. As the series progresses and she acclimates to autonomy and the real world, she displays an immense, if stoic, courage and profound selflessness. The boys come to depend on her knowledge and abilities in their search for Will.
The unsung heroes of the series are Nancy and Karen Wheeler, Mike's sister and mother. Nancy is not just a 'good girl,' she's a smart girl. Throughout the season, she reveals a strong moral compass through teenage trials and tribulations and a brave, enterprising spirit as she searches for her missing friend, Barb. Finally, Karen Wheeler brings dimension to the concerned mother stereotype. Though she's always a step behind the kids (ain't that the way), she's compassionate and earnest in navigating the difficulty of parenthood. Plus, she clearly wears the pants in the Wheeler household.
It keeps you wanting more without cheesy cliffhangers
Without saying too much as to spoil it, the show provides closure to its most significant plot line but leaves enough unanswered questions to keep the audience wanting more. As we've seen with so many shows clamoring for binge-worthy status these days, striking this balance requires finesse to keep from being cheesy or cheap. Bring on the second series!


bello ma si rompe facile.
divertente da montare non troppo difficile ma ci sono saldature molto piccole da farela ricevente integrata è una Frsky FCC D8. prende abbastanza bene. ottimo se si vuole imparare a volare e capire cosa sia l'hobby dei droni fpv in casa propria. non adatto a fare capriole ma con poco vento vola all'esterno fino a non vederlo piu e ritorno in fpv.consiglio per imparare di cambiare subito antenna con una lineare e poi mettere la cloverleaf una volta abili. altrimenti sarà subiro schiacciata e da riparare alla prima caduta.
si rompe facilmente soprattutto l'antenna cloverleaf. è totalmente da programmare. se si vuole flashare il firmware bisogna fare ponte su 2 pin con la critta boot è successiamente alimentare il FC. da li si riuscirà ad aggiornare.
This mini drone is very nice for the price. You get all the parts to build your own mini racer except battery and transmitter. I bought the frsky version and after little problems I managed to bind it with my transmitter. I'm just a noob so I can't say much how it flies but I'm happy with it.
It comes with really old cleanflight version so most likely you have to update it before you get it to flying.
got two of these for gifts, wanted to have the kids have some sweat equity in building, and getting these to run. Once up and running are a blast and they have been using them almost non-stop. Very easy to fly, very durable and light enough to survive crazy crashes.
Difficult to understand the exact connectors provided to connect batteries to. Would be useful to have some direction on compatible connectors. We worked through it, but would be good to know upfront.
Very fun!! zippy!! :) I had a problem with the camera that GearBest fixed to my liking. this kit was easy to Build and its alot of fun to fly.
This is a good Mini! An excellent first time DIY! Extremely easy to get it in the air. And a stable fast indoor flyer!
Great little indoor FPV flier. fast little guy with good fpv range indoors.
No instructions in kit. I had to look up youtube videos to build and then bind to my DSM2 transmitter.
It uses a 3.7V 150mAh lithium-ion battery.
Is this compatible with the Flysky i6s?
The item is FuriBee F36S Mini Brushed FPV Racing Drone DIY Kit BNF 5.8G 800TVL HD / 2.4GHz 6-axis Gyro / F3 Flight Controller.

Types of Connection, Usually circuits exceeding two components have two standard kinds of relations: series and parallel. A series circuit is frequently a circuit where components are connected along only one route, therefore the present flows through a single part to arrive at the second one. In some circuit, voltages add up to those elements attached within the circuit board, and currents are the same through all elements. In a parallel circuit, every unit is directly connected to the power source, so each device receives exactly the same voltage. The current in a really parallel circuit flows across each parallel branch and also re-combines when the branches match again.
Tips to Draw Good-looking Wiring Diagrams, A good wiring diagram has to be correct and clear to see. Take care of all the info. As an example, the diagram should demonstrate the ideal direction in the positive and negative terminals of every component. Use the appropriate symbols. Learn the significance in the basic circuit symbols and assess the very best ones to work with. Some of the symbols have really close appearance. You have to discover a means to inform the differences before applying them. Draw connecting cables as direct lines. Use a dot to tip line junction, or utilize line jumps to indicate cross lines that are not linked. Label components such as resistors and capacitors making use of the own values. Make certain that the text positioning appears clean. In general it is great to place the positive (+) supply to the top, along with also the negative (-) supply in the bottom, as well as the logical stream from left to right. Attempt to tidy up the placement reducing wire crossings.

One thing most Americans still have in common? Walmart.
Consumer research group NPD estimates that roughly 95 percent of Americans spend money at Walmart, either in-store or online, every year. Today, Walmart employs 2.2 million people around the world. In the U.S., Walmart employs more than 1.5 million associates across over 5,000 stores and clubs nationwide.
"Some of our stores really function as a cornerstone for the community," Becky Schmitt, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Walmart-owned Sam's Club, tells CNBC Make It .
If you've ever relied on a local Walmart store for a job, groceries or a pharmacy, then you know that Schmitt is not exaggerating. While the retailer's size is undeniable, critics have raised concerns about how Walmart pays and treats its employees including accusations that the company punishes workers for taking sick days.
But this year, the company has made significant policy changes to address concerns such as these. In January, Walmart announced that it would be raising starting wages for hourly employees from $9 an hour to $11 an hour, and that it would be expanding its family leave policy so that all full-time hourly workers receive 10 weeks of paid maternity leave and six weeks of paid parental leave.
According to Walmart, hourly associates today earn between $50,000 and $170,000 a year.
In May, the company announced that it would offer subsidized higher education for all of its U.S. employees, including full-time, part-time and salaried Walmart and Sam's Club workers. Workers involved in the initiative can pay $1 a day to earn an associate's or bachelor's degree in business or supply chain management.
CNBC Make It spoke with Schmitt and Amy Goldfinger, Senior Vice President of Talent Acquisition for Walmart Inc., to learn what it takes to land a job at the company.
Walmart is a massive company with a wide range of opportunities. The organization has giant technology and finance departments as well as millions of retail associate positions.
The first step to landing a job at Walmart is finding the role that is right for you. Once you've browsed the company's careers page and set your sights on an opening, the next step is submitting an application, either online or in person.
"Our career site is greatly improved over the last few years… We do provide that experience online," says Schmitt. "But we also love our shoppers to actually come in and apply."
The importance of applying in-person is particularly strong for people interested in working in one of Walmart's stores, but the sentiment applies to other positions as well.
"We definitely focus on a face-to-face experience, even if the first [interview] is over the phone," says Schmitt. "For people who are considering a relocation, we love to bring them to that location because we really want to make sure that it's a decision that works for whatever family or ecosystem they're bringing along with them."
Workers interested in a job at Walmart should prepare for an in-person interview process. Consider asking a friend or family member to hold a mock interview for you, and practice providing clear and confident answers to common interview questions .
Applicants should definitely take the time to walk through one of the retailer's stores.
"I think if someone's going to consider working at Walmart, no matter what the role is, it's really important to walk through our doors," says Schmitt. She says that applicants should pay close attention to what kinds of work associates are doing and what kinds of products are on display.
She also says that it's especially important for applicants to observe how Walmart treats its wide range of customers. "Whether you're coming in and playing with a black Am-Ex or you're paying with government assistance, you get a high level of respect and assistance in our environment," says Schmitt.
A walk-through can help applicants connect with customers, understand the role that Walmart plays in people's lives and grasp the responsibility the retailer has in communities.
"One common thread in all of our jobs is that people come to Walmart because they're excited to make a difference in people's lives and it feels very close to the customer," says Goldfinger. "It doesn't matter if you're in accounting or you're in a store, you feel very connected and responsible."
Every company wants to know that applicants have done their research prior to an interview, but according to Schmitt, it is especially important for workers to do their homework before they interview for a job at Walmart.
"One of the things about Walmart is it's a very well-recognized brand and everybody has an opinion, right? And so sometimes people are influenced by what they've heard from someone else," she says. "Just take five minutes and you go out to our site and read about our efforts in sustainability, our commitment to female entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses, our Made in America campaign — the list goes on and on — so that you are armed with the facts."
Being able to talk about the campaigns and initiatives that the company has prioritized is a simple and effective way that you can demonstrate that you are invested in making a contribution to Walmart.
Walmart isn't a unique place to work just because of its size.
"It's also the nature of our business," says Goldfinger. "Because we are such a broad portfolio of businesses and the advantage of our scale and the broad portfolio allows people to take on so many career paths."
She continues, "You can come into our organization in an operational role and move into a merchandising role. You can start in our stores and actually become CEO, which has happened for many of our leaders here"
Walmart's fifth CEO Doug McMillon first joined the company when he was a store associate in high school. The reason that people like McMillon are able to grow at Walmart is because of what Goldfinger describes as "chutes and ladders."
"You can move laterally, you can grow your career laterally, but you can also develop up," she says.
This freedom and mobility means that in order to excel at a place like Walmart, workers should always be curious, eager for opportunities to learn new skills and hungry for new experiences. The ability to adapt with each new "chute" and "ladder" is a key part of excelling at Walmart, and at any retail company today.
"Retail is changing so dramatically and we're changing based on what our customer wants and needs," says Goldfinger. "I think people who are owners and operators do really well here. They feel very accountable for delivering at any level, in any role."

Q: Change learning rate in Keras once loss stop decreasing I'm new to deep learning.
I have build a small architecture and compiling it using Adam optimizer as shown below:
model.compile(optimizer=Adam(learning_rate=0.0001), loss="mse")
#Train it by providing training images

model.fit(x, x, epochs=10, batch_size=16)

Now i'm aware of all type of decay where I can change learning rate at some epoch, but is there a way where I can change my learning rate automatically once my loss stop decreasing.
PS: It might be silly ques but please don't be harsh on me as I'm new!

A: You can use the Callbacks API in Keras.
It provides the following classes in keras.callbacks to alter learning rate on each epoch:
1. LearningRateScheduler
You can create your own learning rate schedule as a function of epoch.
Then pass the callback object to the callbacks argument to the fit method in a list.
For example, say your callback object is called lr_callback, then you would use:
model.fit(train_X, train_y, epochs=10, callbacks=[lr_callback]
Refer: keras.callbacks.LearningRateScheduler
2. ReduceLROnPlateau
This reduces the learning rate once your learning rate stops decreasing by min_delta amount. You can also set the patience and other useful parameters.
You can pass the callback to the fit method in the same way as done above.
Refer: keras.callbacks.ReduceLROnPlateau
The usage for both the callbacks is detailed quite well in the docs, which I have linked above already.
Alternatively, you could define your own callback to schedule the learning rate, if the above do not satisfy your requirements.

A: As you use the Adam optimizer, the learning rate is automatically adjusted depending on the gradient. So the more the gradient reaches a global minimum, the smaller the learning rate gets, so it does not "jump" over the global minimum. I am not sure, what you want to achieve, but the learning_rate you define in Adam() is just a start learning rate.
For more information on Adam and optimizers, I recommend the book hands-on machine learning of Aurélien Géron

I had a feeling last night's episode of MAFS would be one of the highest rating ever. I would love to see a massive drop off tonight after the backlash from viewers from what happened… somehow I'm doubting that it will though as people are too invested.
Had a feeling last nights episode was going to rate high.
Was prob one of the best episodes of the season. I personally was even yelling at the TV at Jessika .
Come into work this morning and everyone is talking about it. It will keep rating as now us people completely invested want to see what will happen with Jess and Dan.
Viewers reaching for their remotes after MKR. Big drop off for Sunday Night.
For obvious reasons I don't often like to link politics and TV ratings but after seeing that over 500k Sydneysiders watched Married At First Sight last night, I think I'm now starting to understand why NSW decided to vote the absolutely woeful (IMO anyway) Berejiklian Coalition government back into office on Saturday.
Seven and the ABC held up OK, but Ten collapsed and burned. Should've held off Chris & Julia's Sunday Night Takeaway until after MAFS finishes!
Daley's performance in the final week of campaigning is a good indication he's a MAFS fanatic.
Huge audience for Married at First Sight. I can see the finale nudging toward 1.9-2.0 million.
Seven's line-up in Melbourne not helped by the AFL lead-in with two lopsided results in one afternoon (Adelaide beat Geelong in AFLW preliminary final then GWS trounced Essendon in the men's).
MAFS proves people will flock back to FTA if there is something that really resonates with viewers.
MAFS also proves what resonates with audiences is garbage.
Big bang is back Tuesday April 9. So MAFS likely to finish April 7/8.
This is the last week of the "experiment" so it should finish next week with the reunion episodes.


Just back from a three-day party in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We were gathered to celebrate with our mentor, Bill Harrison. Much drinking and much storytelling. A test of stamina for some of us.
For Esme With Venom and Snark. Writers not playing nicely.
Mary McCarthy on J. D. Salinger: I don't like Salinger, not at all. That last thing isn't a novel anyway, whatever it is. I don't like it. Not at all. It suffers from this terrible sort of metropolitan sentimentality and it's so narcissistic. And to me, also, it seemed so false, so calculated. Combining the plain man with an absolutely megalomaniac egotism. I simply can't stand it.
James Dickey on Robert Frost: If it were thought that anything I wrote was influenced by Robert Frost, I would take that particular work of mine, shred it, and flush it down the toilet, hoping not to clog the pipes....a more sententious, holding-forth old bore, who expected every hero-worshipping adenoidal little twerp of a student-poet to hang on his every word I never saw.

REVIEW: Prisoners [2013]
2013/09/17 2013/09/18 Jared Mobarak
"Pretty soon all that stands between you and being dead is you" The question is simple: How far would you go to save your child? The dynamics, however, are more complex when the man reconciling his soul to those ends is one who's held God's love as a beckon of security close to his heart. Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners opens with Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) saying an "Our Father" as his son Ralph (Dylan Minnette) readies to kill his first deer. The words have a calming effect, one that's helped this…

REVIEW: Män som hatar kvinnor [The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo] [2009]
"They always think I'll show mercy" There is no better director in Hollywood to helm Stieg Larsson's Män som hatar kvinnor [The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo] than David Fincher. It is the perfect mix of Zodiac's journalistic detecting and Se7en's dark, religious-based murders. I can only see one problem—Niels Arden Oplev has already brought an adaptation to screens and it is every bit as good as it can be. Would Fincher bring someone uniquely his own to the project? For sure he would, and I'll admit that I eagerly…

REVIEW: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button [2008]
"It was nice to have met you" It's an unlikely source, but an effective one—David Fincher giving us a heartbreaking tale of love discovered, lost, found, and forever enduring. The man responsible for bringing to screen the ultra-sick mind of a serial killer in Seven, the warped sensibilities of Chuck Palahniuk with Fight Club, and the dark streets of a city in fear with Zodiac has crafted a beautifully lyrical film of love and its always-difficult journey. Based on a short story from F. Scott Fitzgerald, screenwriter Eric Roth has…

Top Ten Films of 2007: The Year of the Adaptation
It was a year of many genres. We had some musicals, a few dramas, comedies galore, a little sci-fi, and a couple bio-pics sprinkled in to satiate the kiddies and Oscar voters. If anything, I guess one trend seemed to rise above, that being the adaptation, whether from plays (Sweeney Todd), novels (Zodiac), or comics (Stardust). I always try to read first, but the shear amount this year prevented me from doing so, therefore I can't quite say if they were all successes or not. In the end, after seeing…

REVIEW: Rumor Has It [2005]
"They certainly have" Why Rob Reiner, why? I mean I understand there might not be much good material out there these days, but really. I mean you directed Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men, and This is Spinal Tap. What is up with the drivel nowadays, especially with this horrid attempt at cinematic art, Rumor Has It? I actually thought the premise had promise from the trailer—the real story of The Graduate. Intriguing and a decent cast attached, this should at the least be watchable. Unfortunately…

REVIEW: Zodiac [2007]
"I am not Avery" Two David Fincher films in two years? Is that even possible? With The Curious Case of Benjamin Button finishing filming this year for a 2008 release, we get the director's sixth film, Zodiac. While we do get some vintage Fincher style throughout the proceedings, this is very different from his other movies. As much a real life story film as one can be, Zodiac goes through the years chronicling the hunt for the serial killer that got away. There isn't the graphic gore quality we've become…

Q: How to establish the identity How do I establish the identity in this problem? Struggling with this one at the moment.
$$\frac{\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta}=\frac{\tan\theta}{1-\tan^2\theta}$$

A: $\bf hint: $ divide the top and bottom of $$\frac{\sin t\cos t}{\cos^2 t- \sin^2 t } $$ by $\cos^2 t.$ now use the fact $\tan t = \frac{\sin t}{\cos t}.$

A: Put $\tan = \frac{\sin}{\cos}$
and simplify.

A: $$\frac{\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta}=\frac{\tan\theta}{1-\tan^2\theta}$$
$$\implies \frac{2\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta}=\frac{2\tan\theta}{1-\tan^2\theta}$$
Now using $\sin 2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta$ and $\cos 2\theta=\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta$
$$\frac{\sin 2\theta}{\cos 2\theta}=\tan 2\theta$$
Now using $\tan 2\theta=\frac{2\tan \theta}{1-\tan^2\theta}$ we get
$$\tan 2\theta=\frac{2\tan \theta}{1-\tan^2\theta}$$
Which is what we wanted to prove.

A: We have
$$\frac{\tan \theta}{1-\tan^2 \theta}=\frac{\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{1-\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}}=\frac{\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}-\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}}=\frac{\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\frac{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}}=\frac{\sin\theta(\cos^2\theta)}{\cos\theta(\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta)}=\frac{\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta}$$

The black-hooded coucal (Centropus steerii) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is endemic to Mindoro in the Philippines and is one of the most endangered birds in the country. It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping.

Description
EBird describes the bird as "A large, long-tailed bird of lowland primary forest on Mindoro with a brown back and belly, dark wings with brown-edged feathers, a dark tail with a bluish iridescence, and a black hood with some light streaking on the back of the neck. Note the strong curved bill. Similar to Philippine coucal, but has a brown rather than black belly and is restricted to primary forest rather than more open habitats. Song is a descending series of very deep hoots."

Habitat and conservation status
Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss with Mindoro having a great loss of forest in recent decades. By 1988, extensive deforestation on Mindoro had reduced forest cover to a mere 120 km2, of which only a small proportion is below this species's upper altitudinal limit. The lowland forest that does remain is highly fragmented and it is believed that at the current rate of deforestation all forest may disappear by 2020–2030. Slash-and-burn cultivation, occasional selective logging and rattan collection threaten the forest fragments that still support the species. Dynamite blasting for marble is an additional threat to forest at Puerto Galera. The species's genetic viability may be at risk given the small size and fragmented nature of remaining populations. As a consequence, it is now classified as critically endangered by the IUCN with an estimated population of just 50 - 249 mature individuals.

In order to combat extinction, local education programs have been initiated, surveys have been executed, and ecotourism has been promoted in order to encourage locals to take to more sustainable occupations. The Zoological Society of London has described the bird as an EDGE species, listed as the top 21 distinct-endangered bird species in the world. Conservation actions proposed by the IUCN include more surveys to better understand population, to better protect the remaining lowland forests and to raise awareness on this species.

Coronavirus in Indiana: What we learned Tuesday from the governor's news conference
Matthew VanTryon
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and other state officials updated the public on the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Indiana on Tuesday reported seven deaths due to the novel coronavirus, as the state's total case count surpassed 12,000, according to the state's dashboard. The additional deaths brought the total toll to 630, and 431 new cases were reported for a total of 12,097. The reported cases mark a new daily high for the state.
According to Tuesday's report, 47.4% of ICU beds are available, with 22.5% of beds being used by COVID-19 patients. Nearly 77% of ventilators are available, with 12% in use by COVID-19 patients.
Kristina Box, ISDH commissioner, said 49.7% of positive cases are by white individuals and 17.1% are from African-Americans. 66% of the deaths are by white individuals and 17.8% are by African-Americans.
The Indiana Supreme Court issued an order protected stimulus checks from being seized by creditors. Protections do not apply to child support orders.
Holcomb: "We haven't sent out a date to (restaurants) or the public" regarding dine-in restaurant opening. Holcomb says the "how" is more important than the "when." Holcomb said "I'd start tilling the ground right now."
Holcomb said businesses are making recommendations for opening such as: cleaning protocols, physical distancing, redesigning the workplace space and flow of production, installing physical barriers, visitation policies, bringing in own food, wearing masks and gloves, handwashing, limiting the size of gatherings, domestic travel changes, taking temperatures, employee protection protocols
Holcomb said the state's economic recovery team "meets constantly." He said there's the restart phase and said citizens restarting their lives.
Cris Johnston, director of the state's office of management and budget, said " the situation is very fluid," and said there are federal discussions of a $475 billion stimulus package for businesses. "What the team is looking at is the intersection from the guidance of the public health team and what it's going to take to reopen."
Holcomb says the potential influx of cases from neighboring states into counties that border Indiana is a concern, which is why working with other Great Lakes states is essential.
Holcomb said standards for businesses will be presented in a future executive order, including where the public and employees can get access to things like PPE.
Holcomb said updates to the stay at home order could either be state-wide or regionally-focused, depending on the change
233 offenders in 10 Indiana Department of Correction have tested positive for COVID-19

Pulau Tiga é uma das pequenas ilhas malasianas desabitadas localizadas em Kimanis Bay ao largo da costa ocidental do estado de Sabah.  As ilhas foram formadas em 21 de setembro de 1897, quando um terremoto em Mindanao causou uma erupção vulcânica perto de Bornéu.

Localiza-se a sudoeste de Kota Kinabalu entre as coordenadas 5º 42' e 5º 43' de longitude e 115º 37' e 115º 39' de latitude. Pulau Tiga é a maior ilha do agrupamento onde se encontra cobrindo uma área de 725 hectares de extensão com, aproximadamente, 5,2 km de comprimento e 1,8 km de largura.

A ilha possui clima tropical caracterizado pela presença de ar quente e úmido na maior parte do ano, mantendo temperatura média de aproximadamente 23 °C-32 °C. Conta, também, com uma alta média de precipitação fluvial anual, em torno de 2816,4 milímetros.

Geologicamente, o solo da ilha é composto por terrenos sedimentares que se formaram do acúmulo caótico de materiais de origem fluvial e vulcânica oriundos da abertura de vulcão de lama e que datam do período Quaternário e do início do Paleoceno. Devido a isto, todo o solo da ilha é coberto por lama de origem vulcânica misturada com xisto.

Pulau Tiga possui um par de vulcões de lama ativos em sua parte mais alta, Puncak Mat Salleh. A presença destes vulcões propiciam à ilha uma geografia única.

Turismo
A ilha possui grande potencial em termos turísticos e recebe atualmente milhares de turistas todo ano. É uma das três ilhas que compõem o Parque Nacional de Pulau Tiga. A sede do parque localiza-se na ilha e compreende um complexo de escritórios, alojamento para funcionários do parque e cientistas visitantes.

Na mídia
Pulau Tiga se tornou conhecida na televisão americana graças ao reality show Survivor que gravou, em 2000, sua primeira temporada na ilha, Survivor: Borneo. Realities shows de outros países também gravaram suas primeiras temporadas na ilha, Expidition Robinson da Suécia em 1997 e a versão britânica e homônima de Survivor em 2001.

• Fixed problem with positioning of the gallery overlay/lightbox when there were other content in the page along with the gallery.
• The filter dropdown menu opens much quicker now in touch-screen devices and also closes when tapping elsewhere on the screen.
• Updated the jquery masonry plugin so that it is compatible with jquery v1.9+. The gallery now is fully compatible with jquery 1.9+ including jquery 2.0.
• Other small bug fixes.
