Efficacy studies on diblock copolymers for immunoprotective alginate-based microcapsules
Milica Spasojevic
The studies presented in this thesis were aimed at overcoming the issues of reproducing the encapsulation procedure and the extreme lab-to-lab variations that hamper its widespread application. First it was shown that small variations in composition of the alginate gel have a tremendous effect on the immune response. Furthermore, the obstacles of the encapsulation procedure could be overcome by applying a masking layer of diblock copolymers on the surface of the capsules. To this end, different PEG-b-PLL and PNIPAAm(-PAAm)-b-PLL copolymers were adsorbed to the alginate gels and the binding process was studied through fluorescence labeling of the PEG blocks, as well as by Fourier infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Fluorescence labeling studies showed a certain length of blocks was required to provide integral stability of the capsules. Saturation of the capsule's surface with the diblock copolymers was achieved after 30-60 minutes. This was also sufficient to provide adequate immunoprotection and mechanical stability, yet the PEG-b-PLL-alginate capsules caused a strong inflammatory reaction in the in-vivo studies. The FTIR results revealed that longer incubation times of 50 hours were required to achieve surface saturation. Contrary to the fluorescence labeling study, both FTIR and AFM results revealed the penetration of copolymers into the alginate gel. The introduction of the PLL pretreatment reduced the penetration and a better surface coverage was achieved. This was also corroborated by the high retrieval rates and low capsular overgrowth. These results demonstrate the applicability of the PEG-b-PLL copolymers as anti-biofouling layer on the alginate-PLL surface.

ConocoPhillips China and Enactus China Jointly Launch the Second "FUTURE" Energy Innovation Project
Empowering Youth Innovation in Energy, Creating a Win-win Sustainable Future
BEIJING – ConocoPhillips China (COPC) today announced continued partnership with Enactus China on the launch of the second "FUTURE" Energy Innovation Project (FUTURE). The project focuses on encouraging promising Chinese postgraduate students to pursue research studies in the oil and gas industry, with the aim of cultivating talents that will provide innovative solutions and tackle industry challenges along China's economic development, contributing to sustainable development of the energy sector in China and the world.
"Shouldering social responsibility for 23 years, COPC continues developing energy responsibly, while creating lasting values for communities and stakeholders," said Bill Arnold, president of COPC. "The young generation is the necessary force to promote social development. As such, fostering in-campus innovation capabilities will play a vital role underpinning the sustainable development of energy in China. 'FUTURE' aims to inspire innovation among Chinese youth with forward-looking strategy for China's energy future."
"ConocoPhillips is dedicated to promoting sustainable development of the energy sector with technological innovation, and we are always ahead of the pack," said Greg Leveille, ConocoPhillips Chief Technology Officer, who led the judge panel during the first "FUTURE" national competition last year. "Last year, the project attracted 99 excellent research papers from universities nationwide that provided innovative solutions to unconventional oil and gas development. I was deeply impressed by Chinese postgraduate students' enthusiasm for study and level of expertise in the oil and gas sector. This year, we will focus on the compartmentalized reservoir, and we hope even more promising postgraduate students will participate."
With more than 38 years of history in China, ConocoPhillips puts great emphasis on sustainable development, which requires the company to not only to seek productivity and economic benefits, but also to develop oil and gas resources in a high-efficient and eco-friendly way. In China, the exploration, development and utilization of complex oil and gas resources is among the five priorities of the key energy areas outlined by National Medium- and Long-Term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020). With the increasing difficulty and cost of development, the exploration and development of compartmentalized reservoirs has become one of the key challenges for the oil and gas industry in China. With cutting-edge technological innovation capabilities, ConocoPhillips has leading technological expertise and unique insights on using the technologies of high-resolution reservoir characteristic (i.e. compressive seismic imaging), horizontal wells, multi-lateral wells, data analytics and formation stimulation etc. to develop the compartmentalized reservoir. The research topic this year – the exploration and development of compartmentalized reservoir– aims to take ConocoPhillips' technological advantages and promote talent cultivation and technological innovation in fields that are relevant for meeting China's increasing need for high-efficiency exploration and development of compartmentalized reservoirs.
Built upon the successful experience in 2018, the second "FUTURE" project will invite research teams from 10 targeted colleges and universities nationwide to participate and submit their solutions. All research papers will be reviewed and evaluated by academic consultants and industry experts from partner institutions based on their research originality, technical contents, applicability and environmental sustainability. The eight teams whose papers have the highest scores will qualify to participate in the national competition.
During the months of rigorous evaluation process, senior technical experts from COPC will visit partner universities in various cities across the country to have face-to-face communication with young students and academic advisors to provide career development advice and opportunities. They will also be invited as mentors to provide professional guidance for the finalist teams during their preparation for the "FUTURE" national competition that will be held in September 2019. The final winning team will be invited to participate in Enactus China GO FOR THE FUTURE Expo in May 2020, where the team will present its research results on behalf of the young talents in the energy sector and have networking opportunities with academic professionals and corporate executives.
"During the 'FUTURE' project last year, our university was proud to be crowned champion with our students' outstanding research on unconventional resources – Efficient Photocatalytic Environmental Remediation for Rearrangement Fluid of Shale Gas Pressure Fissure Liquid," said Ji Zhang, deputy head of Students Affairs Office, Petroleum Engineer School at Southwest Petroleum University. "With the financial support from COPC, we further developed and deepened the research study. We are looking forward to this year's 'FUTURE' project and feel honored to be invited again as it will provide a platform for our students to explore and enhance innovation capacity through conducting research on trendy topics and challenges in the energy industry."
"We are very excited to extend our partnership with COPC," said Cathy Ren, general manager of Enactus China. "Leveraging ConocoPhillips' core technological strength and the company's relentless focus on giving back to communities, the 'FUTURE' project incorporates sustainability into youth innovation and has grown into a successful CSR model that is worth referencing and promoting."

The changing geopolitical situation around the world, especially the Middle East; and the intensified cultural-ideological and class struggle both within individual countries and globally, continue to provoke reactive political processes. Recently, a new crisis has erupted in Armenia, a state in the South Caucasus.
The balance of power, self-perception of local ethnic groups, and the influence of socio-economic and cultural ideological groups on public policy have significantly changed in the country. These changes are multidirectional, increasing the risk of a new armed conflict.

Prijzen
In 2007 werd Nico Leunen een eerste maal genomineerd voor de Vlaamse Cultuurprijs voor Film, maar moest de eer laten aan de vereniging Jekino. In 2012 was Leunen genomineerd voor de Ensor Beste Montage 2012 voor The Invader van Nicolas Provost. De prijs ging die avond naar zijn collega Philippe Ravoet.

In 2013 werd Nico Leunen op een en dezelfde avond op het Filmfestival Oostende twee maal onderscheiden.

Uit handen van minister Joke Schauvliege ontving hij de Vlaamse Cultuurprijs voor Film 2012-2013. De jury die de minister adviseerde, formuleerde het in het juryverslag met de zinnen "De montage is een van de meest onderbelichte en onderschatte aspecten van dat ontstaansproces. Precies daarom koos de jury voor de eerste keer (en unaniem) voor een filmauteur die achter de schermen werkt.".

Diezelfde avond ontving hij tijdens de uitreiking van de Ensors de Ensor voor Beste Montage 2013 voor zijn werk aan The Broken Circle Breakdown van Felix Van Groeningen. Hij was in deze categorie ook genomineerd voor de montage van Kid van Fien Troch. In 2015 won hij eveneens de Ensor Beste Montage voor zijn werk aan N: The Madness of Reason van Peter Krüger. Hij was in deze categorie ook genomineerd voor de montage van Waste Land van Pieter Van Hees.

In juni 2015 werd Leunen verkozen als lid van de Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, en mag mee over de uitreiking van de Oscars beslissen.

In oktober 2016 won Leunen de Knack Focus Jo Röpcke Award voor zijn werk als monteur en coscenarist voor de film Home van zijn vrouw Fien Troch. Hij kreeg de onderscheiding voor 'de manier waarop hij beeldend verhalen kan vertellen, structureren en ritmeren en voor zijn bemeten visie op cinema buiten de montagekamer'.

In november 2021 werd Leunen als eerste Belg ooit toegelaten tot de toonaangevende American Cinema Editors (ACE) gilde. Jaarlijks reikt ACE de Eddy Awards uit, prijzen voor het beste montagewerk.

The Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program is for young international teachers from outside the United States. Fellows, who come from over 50 countries, teach their native languages to students at U.S. universities, strengthening foreign language instruction and developing American students' knowledge of foreign cultures. The FLTA program gives fellows an opportunity to practice their teaching skills, learn about the cultures and customs of their American host institution, and increase their English language proficiency. Fellows receive a stipend to cover room, board, and daily living expenses.
We talked to William Mel Paglinawan, who is originally from the Philippines and was a Fulbright FLTA at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. He told us about his experience and gave us some tips for preparing an application!
1. What inspired you to apply for the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship?
It all started when I decided not to pursue a career in academia almost five years ago. Before applying for a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship (FLTA), I was an English language teacher at The Notre Dame of Dadiangas University, a private institution in the Southern Philippines. As a teacher, I desired to learn more so that in return, I could give more also. I had already completed my graduate degree in Linguistics. However, I felt that I should continue to gain experience to develop my pedagogical philosophies. I thought that an international fellowship would make all these things happen.
Soon enough, I was granted the FLTA fellowship and in Fall 2017, I went to the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. Studying and teaching in this university and being part of this esteemed exchange program has taught me how to become a self-determining and open-minded thinker. As a cultural ambassador, I have become more accepting as I try to understand other cultures. Moreover, I have learned to treasure the Filipino language. Even though it is a less commonly taught language, it is still (and will forever) be significant in diverse and integrated societies. Lastly, I boosted my confidence. This has helped me to be comfortable in the classroom so that I can impact more generations back home.
2. How has your Fulbright experience influenced your current work?
During my five years of teaching in the Philippines, I took part in the design and implementation of some programs in the language department of the university where I was working. It has been thought that curriculum development is not an easy task for educators – in addition to requiring lots of knowledge, it requires dedication and a lot of hard work.
When I arrived in Michigan and had the chance to work with the high caliber professors in the university, I felt that everything seemed to be a challenge. It was as if that the challenges I encountered way back home had doubled when I entered the United States. In the Southeast Asian Language Program of the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, my greatest challenge adjusting to the academic disciplines and classroom policies. The preparation of syllabus, which has to take into account the needs of the American students and their mindsets, and adjusting to cross-cultural differences were two of the greatest challenges.
Aside from my work teaching, I also organized and co-organized cultural events with my American students. We celebrated Paskuhan and Salu-Salo (to name few), taught some cultural dances and folk songs of the Philippines, and even cooked some Filipino food and watched Filipino movies in a Film Appreciation class. Although there have been challenges, the reward of the overall experience has been so gratifying.
Now, how these experiences have influenced my current work? After my fruitful academic and cultural experience in the US, I came back a transformed person with a new outlook and newly gained resources for language teaching. As a graduate of a Marist Institution in the Philippines, I developed a desire to help the community. I volunteered at community outreach programs. I train some English teachers in my locality by sharing what I have gained during my FLTA experience. As for my other future plans, I will coordinate with other Fulbright Alumni in the Philippines and help them carry out their advocacy projects. Indeed, my Fulbright experiences have opened the door for me to the world and beyond.
3. What tips would you give others applying to the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship?
First off, know that a fellowship – whether a Fulbright scholarship or any other prestigious fellowship, can be a fantastic opportunity. However, don't apply just because it sounds fun or you're looking for something to fill your time. Instead, you should identify and establish your goals. Having clear goals enables you to enjoy the opportunity and get the most out of it. A clear goal will allow you to further your interests and, it will help you personally and professionally.
Secondly, build a positive attitude towards yourself and others. As an FLTA, I learned that a spirited attitude would make you succeed and make your entire fellowship grant worthwhile. A positive attitude brings optimism into your life and on your entire fellowship year, and it makes whatever task you're doing easier, free from worries and negative thinking.
If you're sure that you already got the first two, then you can start building your personal statement, essay responses, and professional portfolio. In these statements, give the fellowship committee an opportunity to get to know you. Show who you are and why you're a great fit for the fellowship. Let your application reflect who you are. Then, try to get great and honest recommendations. You should approach those individuals – often your professors or department heads – and explain to them why you want this fellowship and what strengths and skills you would bring to the role. Once given a chance for an interview, you have to be true to yourself and honest about what you want to accomplish. If you only try to be the person you think the fellowship evaluators would want you to be, they'll see right through it. Even if you don't have all the "right" answers, if you can convey your passion, you've got a good chance of winning a slot.
And lastly, plan an amazing project. In most fellowships, it would be very fulfilling on your part if you will show how the academic experiences from the fellowship will help you in your future. I would suggest that you start planning for a project that will benefit your immediate community first and then, eventually, your home country. You can also start making acquaintances with other fellows and start discussing your projects. This would help you further expand your local and global networking.
William Mel Paglinawan completed his college education at the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (NDDU) with a Bachelor of Arts (AB) in Mass Communication. He later completed a Master of English in Applied Linguistics (MEAL) at the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) in Davao City. He is an Assistant Professor at the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University working on handling language, literature, journalism, and communication subjects. He is active in various community extension services and has facilitated a community teaching program among the children of the B'laan community in Sarangani Province.

Q: What does wrapping a procedural block in curly braces do in php? I was going through some of the code for Dolphin CMS recently (a craptastic example for PHP haters) when I ran across this little gem in /grp.php:
{
    switch ( $_REQUEST['action'] ) {
        //a crapton of switch statements
    }
}

I'm curious what the wrapping curly braces, "{}" without any keywords, are about. I do PHP development primarily so maybe (hopefully??!!?) this is something I just don't know about but I've tried removing the braces and the code runs as usual.
I'm having a hard time understanding wtf the purpose for this would be.
Any ideas?
(NOTE: This is really just for my own edification. I'm almost having trouble sleeping because this isn't making any sense to me...)

A: I've seen this in large blocks of procedural code. It seems to help group logical blocks together that might normally be abstracted to a separate function. This, somewhat, helps when editing and your IDE can quickly identify the block by the braces.
Functionally, I don't think it does anything. Visually, it helps group code.

A: Without more context, it's hard to say. They may be attempting to restrict the scope of certain variables. I don't know PHP's scoping rules specifically, but they may be trying to ensure that variables modified inside that switch statement don't affect things outside of the block. Or, they may be using a RAII pattern.

The Sunshine Space: Only 5 days late.
JD turned 25 last Saturday and in the hustle and bustle of party preparations, I forgot to write down a few words about how glad I am that he was born. Before I met JD, I dreamed of a driven, handsome, supportive husband who was madly in love with me and had a pleasant disposition, a strong work ethic, a real desire to raise a family, an unwaivering testimony of Christ, an ability to make me laugh, a compassionate heart, and a commitment to moral living. I can't believe how blessed I was to find such a catch and how lucky I am he chose me for his wife. He's all those things . . . plus a few bonuses: obsessive vacuumer, master eyebrow plucker, and perfect pizza maker. Who knew I'd get all these extras? Haha. Happy birthday, lovebug!

The surgical procedure was explained and all patients provided written informed consent. After the patient was anesthetized, the contralateral (uninjured) auricle was measured vertically (V1) and horizontally (H1), and the measurements recorded. The length of the defect along helical rim was also recorded (Figure 2). Two helical chondrocutaneous flaps, one on either side of the defect were created by performing an anterior incision along the remnant helical groove (Figure 3). The incision included skin and the cartilage, with the posterior auricle skin left intact. Subsequent undermining of the scaphal cartilage medially provided further mobilization of the flaps.When necessary, an additional incison to circumvent the helical root gave extra length by V-Y advancement. Flaps were advanced along the helical margin to ensure closure. Following closure, if a tented or cupped scapha occurred, a Burow's triangle from the scaphal cartilage was excised to relieve the tented part of the cartilage. After auricle closure, vertical (V2) and horizontal (H2) axes of the neoauricle were measured, corresponding to the preoperative measurements of the contralateral ear. The actual reduction in vertical axis (V1—V2) and in horizontal axis (H1—H2) (in millimetres) was calculated. Patients were followed up for a period of three months. At the patient's final visit, postoperative outcome was classified as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory, based on surgeon assessment and patient feedback regarding symmetry and shape of the neoauricle.

I didn't have this problem with 2.0.1 and the config looks fine. I'm wondering if there is an issue with the version that is included with pfSense 2.1 or maybe an option wasn't built when it was being compiled.
Story short, I have a server that I can't disabled it from opening upnp ports (thanks Microsoft) but in the past I would deny HTTPS via miniupnpd. I changed my OpenVPN setup to use port 443, when miniupnpd opens the port for this windows server, i'm unable to connect OpenVPN until I restart the miniupnpd service.
I'm still experiencing this issue. Can anyone else confirm that they are having the same issue? Would like to have confirmation of the issue before opening a bug ticket.
I have the default deny rule checked, and have setup an allow rule. This functions as expected and when I remove the rule, UPnP is effectively blocked.
Not really how I wanted it setup but if I default deny rule check, it will only open up when i put in the config… I would prefer the other way around but this is doable for now.
I'm up to using 3 of the 4 User specified permissions fields.... Hope I dont need more or I'll have to start hacking some php pages..
I'm up to using 3 of the 4 User specified permissions fields…. Hope I dont need more or I'll have to start hacking some php pages..
Or you can give them consecutive IPs and use a range?
sorry to barge in but has any1 tried upnp and had limiters set, there was a bug in 2.0.1 where upnp would break limiters so wanted to ask if its solved or no.
this seem to do the trick… Not sure why i didn't think of this before..
you can do a mask, but not sure how you can do specific IPs like that without different entries?
I personally have all my gaming devices grouped together in my DHCP leases, so all of my UPnP enabled devices are statically assigned IPs 192.168.1.17 through 192.168.1.22. I then create the following allow rule in Services/UPnP using a mask bit of 29 to fit those 6 IPs.
Now thats one line for all of my UPnP devices. I do not statically assign any device to IPs 192.168.1.16 AND 192.168.1.23 just to avoid the confusion of the above mask's subnet ID and broadcast address. You can use any mask you like to accommodate a bigger or smaller set of devices but the main point is to group all your UPnP enabled devices with their IP range and setup the appropriate mask. I cheat sometimes and use the below website to help me figure out quickly the correct mask.

Got an RV that you don't use on regular basis? Get it stored.
The RVs usually occupy a larger space than the regular vehicles and special measure need to be taken when you are storing the recreational vehicle. It is suggested that you seek expert advice, when it comes to storing your much possessed vehicle. Most storage companies, would offer you with valuable customer care services, and help make the process of storing the vehicle, as easy as possible. Some storage companies even offer additional services such as valet parking and battery charging facilities.
While, you might consider using a garage storage or a warehouse, it is important for you to note that you will be able to enjoy the valuable security that a specialized storage facility has to offer. Most storage facilities offer combination locks, these combination locks allow the person with the master key (you) to have complete control over who has access to the storage.
Moreover, they offer additional security by closed circuit cameras that are installed to keep a check on any authorized access to the facility. They even offer surveillance features that extend round-the-clock. Therefore, you can sit back at the comfort of your home, while some guards your valuable RV.
While, some neighborhoods have rules imposed to restrict parking of RV's, these storage facilities not only offer you the space to accommodate your RV, they also provide you with several different locations to park. Thus, making it easier for you to visit your RV, each time you feel like it.

Q: Classic ASP Recordset and SQL Server 2008 - DateTime formatting problems I am working with a Classic ASP file upload application which uses the Recordset.AddNew functionality to insert to a database.
There is a form that submits data to this application, and the application (using Recordset) gets the form variables, like below:
Set RS=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
RS.AddNew
RS("A_Category")=Form("strA_Category")
RS("SP_VersionYear")=Form("strSP_VersionYear")
The Form("strSP_VersionYear") is a hidden variable that holds a string variable, set in the form page as:
strSP_VersionYear="2014"
When this variable is inserted into the database, it is into a column of DateTime data type.  Inserting the year only, in a string just like the above, has worked with a SQL statement (in an Insert statement), but, for some reason, it throws an error (below) when trying to insert via a Recordset (as illustrated above).
Provider error '80020005'
Type mismatch
Is there a way that this can be formatted to successfully insert into a DateTime column?
Thanks for any help.

A: You will need to either change the datatype of your SQL column, or append a prefix to the version year when you submit.  Ie. "01-01-" &YEAR & " 12:00:00"
You can also convert the input element in SQL server within the SQL statement itself, if you can get in there.  It would be Convert(datetime,'2014') and it will do all the prefixing for you.


I work with a lot of people, mainly men, that are in or nearing those years that we sometimes call "middle age." Our society still places a stigma on age through a stereotype that older means less energy and creativity. Sometimes, people will go out of their way to restore or regain their virility, worth, liveliness and energy. This is sometimes given the derogatory label of a "mid-life crisis." It's not a "mid-life crisis;" you're simply rediscovering yourself!
Let's say you're in these "mid-years" and think "That's it, I can't take this anymore. I'm doing something about this." A common roadblock at that point is often a strong sense of guilt. At this age, you likely have a number of responsibilities; family, career (maybe more than one) and social commitments. I've worked with quite a few people that felt they simply couldn't take the time to get some exercise, learn to eat right or spend time on creative pursuits because too many people are depending on them and they simply don't have the time to do something for themselves.
Let's highlight a phrase here: other people are depending on you! If you're not at your best, you're hurting more than yourself. You're likely robbing the people you truly care about from being with the best version of you that you have to offer.
From a biological standpoint, there's nothing that says we have to decline substantially physically as we age. Most of the change I see is all mental. As people get older, they can start to lose confidence in their ability to be fit, healthy and happy. They lose their edge. If they have health issues, they get trapped in a spiral of despair and worry instead of taking control of their health and doing what's needed to restore the healthy life they deserve. Is it easy to turn that ship around? No. But you have a choice (you ALWAYS have a choice) you can either live the rest of your life unhealthy and unfulfilled or you can make the choice to live the life you were meant to live. And most likely the one that the world needs you to live.
If you make that move to restore your gusto, do it knowing you have the right to be healthy, happy and vibrant. Just hit 50 and you want to start a rock-band because it's what you've always dreamed? Awesome! If you're in your 60s and lifting weights, good for you! Nearing 70 and just starting yoga? Very cool! Never look at these opportunities to rediscover yourself as some sort of "crisis" and never feel guilty. This is your life to live….and you still have plenty of years to rock!
My wife came home from her yoga class the other day and she was really excited.
Think of how often we create our own barriers in our careers, relationships and personal care. You're not going for that promotion because "you're not smart enough." You've stopped looking for the right person because "you're not attractive enough." You just aren't getting to the gym because "you're too tired." Motivation, determination and will-power are great—if you have them. The "something" that we all can use to move forward, and you've heard me say this before, is choice.
We're choosing machines. Our lives are full of choices, big and small. We can fairly easily decide what to wear each day, what we want for lunch and whether to watch TV or read a book in the evening. These are easy choices because there's little risk. What makes some choices really difficult is fear. Fear of failure and disappointment.
False Evidence #1- What's the likelihood that everybody really is looking at you? What's their purpose for being at the gym?
False Evidence #2- Whose choice is it to be embarrassed?
False Evidence #3- OK, what if everyone was looking at you and you did feel embarrassed? What choices do you still have?
It's that third one that really instills the fear. Many people feel they wouldn't have the fortitude to stick it out and they'd chalk it up as one big failure on their part.
It always comes down to choice. Are you going to stop at your usual spot or just keep going?
You're a healthy, fit person now and you enjoy being active. As you up your efforts at the gym, there's more potential for injury. The occasional twist or pull is to be expected. A lot of guys will try to play off the injury, "push through it" and not get proper treatment. That can cause greater harm and permanent damage that can take you out of the gym for a long time; setting you back in your weight loss maintenance. If you do get injured, get treated as soon as possible.
Below is an entry I made in a personal blog a few years back. I'm reposting it here because it contains information that some might find helpful.
Apparently, a human shoulder is engineered to only provide so much force over a period of time. Like a lot of guys, I stupidly exceeded this limit. To literally add insult to injury, I ignored the pain thinking I'd "tough it out" and that it would get better over time. It didn't.
After months of pain and watching the quality of my workout steadily decline, I went to my primary care physician. He did a few tests and told me there was something wrong with my shoulder and sent me to Grayhawk Family Chiropractic for evaluation and treatment.
During my first visit, Dr. Frank Sorrentino (he prefers to be called Dr. Frank) performed a series of movements with my shoulder that I would later learn is called Active Release Technique or ART. These seemingly gently movements actually did a lot to improve my flexibility and range of motion. He next pulled out this metal rod and started scraping the tissue around my shoulder. Yes, it felt like this sounds. This is referred to as the Graston Technique. My simple understanding of this is that a lot of pain and range-of-motion limitation is caused by scar tissue or improperly healed injuries. The only way to get the tissue to heal correctly is to break it back down. While this hurts like a son-of-a-gun while it's being performed, I can tell you there is a payoff later. Treatment ended with 20 minutes of electrical muscle stimulation. Dr. Frank gave me a few exercises to perform throughout the day at home and I was done.
This series of treatments continued over the course of eight weeks. Dr. Frank closely monitored my progress and was attentive to my feedback. You could tell he genuinely cared. As time progressed, we slowly added more activities and eventually got to the point where I could go back to the gym. After working out for a few weeks, Dr. Frank sat with me and reviewed my workouts line-by-line and gave me feedback as to what was going well and where I maybe needed to be more careful. I have to say, no other doctor has given me this kind of personal attention! I also need to note that during the whole time of my treatment, Dr. Frank was always upbeat. Anyone that knows me well understands that I appreciate a sense of humor and I usually left Dr. Frank's office laughing my a** off- even when I wasn't feeling great.
Epilogue: It's now been several years since this injury originally occured. I haven't had any further trouble with my shoulder. While I'm not lifting as heavy as I used to and a few lifts remain off my list, Dr. Frank kept me from needing expensive and potentially damaging surgery for which I'm thankful.

Фридрих Вильгельм Ричль (; , Гросфаргула — , ) — выдающийся немецкий филолог, профессор в Галле, Бреславле, Бонне и Лейпциге.

Учёные труды

Плавт
Учёные труды Ричля были по преимуществу посвящены архаической латыни. Занятия в этой области он начал с изучения комедий Плавта и первым выяснил то огромное значение его древнейшей рукописи, так называемого миланского палимпсеста, для восстановления текста этого писателя. На основании этой рукописи и других соображений Ричль восстановил истинное имя Плавта — Titus Maccius P. (вместо прежнего M. Accius). Он определил впервые хронологию комедий Плавта и историю их дальнейшей судьбы. Все труды Ричля, относящиеся к Плавту, объединены в его втором томе «Opuscula philologica». Издание комедий Плавта он начал с 1848 года и не довел до конца сам, а передал работу трём своим ученикам — , Лёвэ и Шёллю.

История латыни
Занятия Плавтом привели Ричля к исследованию истории латинского языка. Ему удалось не только обогатить её целым рядом плодотворных открытий и наблюдений, но и сообщить ей впервые твёрдое основание, путём методического исследования древнейших латинских надписей. Блестящим памятником этой деятельности Ричля служит изданное им в 1862 году литографическое воспроизведение оригиналов древнейших эпиграфических памятников латинского языка, под заглавием: «Priscae latinitatis monumenta epigraphica ad archetyporum fidem exemplis lithographis repraesentata» (Берлин, 1862). Ценные дополнения к этому труду автор дал в пяти боннских программах за 1862—64 гг. и в статье: «Zur Geschichte des lateinischen Alphabets» («Rheinisches Museum», т. 24). Занятия эпиграфикой заставили Ричля обратить внимание на древнейший латинский размер, так называемый versus Saturnius; многие законы этого стиха были впервые указаны Ричлем в его работе: «Poesis Saturniae spicilegium» (Бонн, 1854).

Прочее
Исследование позднейшей судьбы плавтовых комедий привело Ричля к занятию сочинениями Марка Теренция Варрона; его многочисленные работы по этому предмету собраны в «Opuscula philologica» (т. III, стр. 352—592). К наиболее важным работам Ричля в области греческой литературы принадлежат издание грамматика Фомы Магистра (Галле, 1832) и исследование об александрийских библиотеках (Берлин, 1838). С 1842 года и до смерти, Ричль редактировал филологический журнал  — старейший научный журнал Германии в области классической филологии. Его учёные работы вошли, большей частью, в состав «Opuscula philologica» (Лейпциг, 1867—79, 5 тт.).

Преподавание
Ричль был и выдающимся педагогом; он умел очаровывать слушателей даже такими лекциями, как история латинского алфавита. Ему удалось образовать огромную школу, даровитые представители которой действовали не только в Германии (например, Бюхелер, Узенер, Фален, Отто Риббек), но и в Швейцарии, Австрии и России. И. В. Помяловский написал о методе Ричля большую статью в «Журнале Министерства Народного Просвещения» (1872, ч. 152) под заглавием: «Филологическая семинария и занятия эпиграфикой профессора Ричля»; В. И. Модестов, с любовью и уважением вспоминает о Ричле во многих местах своих «Лекций по истории римской литературы» и других сочинениях. Ричль очень интересовался насаждением классицизма в России, выработал, по предложению А. И. Георгиевского, план русской семинарии в Лейпциге, недолго (1873—75) заведовал этой семинарией и читал в ней лекции. После смерти Ричля его книжное собрание было приобретено библиотекой Нежинского Историко-филологического института князя Безбородко.

Среди его учеников числился также Фридрих Ницше, который начинал блестящую карьеру, уже к 25 годам получив звание профессора классической филологии. Впоследствии от карьеры филолога отказался, однако стал одним из самых известных философов XIX века.

Dutch rail freight subsidy increases by 3 million
The temporary subsidy for the promotion of rail freight will increase by 3 million euros for 2021 and the year after. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, Stientje van Veldhoven, will raise the subsidy ceilings to create a level playing field with Germany. Freight transport operators will also receive compensations for the 8 per cent increase in user costs compared to 2019.
According to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, the subsidy limit for promoting rail freight transport in 2021 is 17,6 million euros and for 2022 17,8 million euros. In recent years this subsidy has been lower, 14.8 million in 2020 and 14.4 million in 2019.
More expensive than Germany
The 'temporary subsidy scheme for the promotion of rail freight' was implemented in 2019. Still, despite the compensations, there was a higher infrastructure charge for the use of train tracks in the Netherlands in 2019 and 2020, than in Germany.
According to the sector organisation RailGood, the difference was around 0.31 cents per train kilometre. Due to increases imposed by ProRail in infrastructure charges for freight train paths and stabling tracks, freight transport operators in 2020 had to pay an average of 8 per cent more than in 2019.
Modal shift
RailGood is pleased with the subsidy increase and says that it will put the Netherlands back 'in line with Germany'. It will prevent the costs of using the Dutch railways from rising and is vital for the modal shift of freight to the rail.
The purpose of the subsidy is to stimulate rail freight and reduce road freight to make transportation more sustainable. The scheme will operate for five years until 2023. Each year has a different and determined subsidy ceiling.

Trying to Raise Peacemakers
It's not like I lose sleep over it or anything, but I've been thinking lately about how to raise my children to be peacemakers. I suppose it's on my mind because Paloma is now at the age where Hunter can get on her nerves and vice versa. They can be the sweetest siblings one minute, hugging and laughing and playing, and the next she's screaming and pushing her brother out of her way. At dinner he'll utter, "Mommy, Paloma is so stinking cute." But just 15 minutes earlier he was screaming, "Mommy, Paloma makes me so mad!"
Spats like these remind me that the path toward peace starts at home, and daily interactions between siblings are the perfect opportunities to practice making peace. We can play cooperative board games to practice working together rather than focusing solely on winners and losers. We can coach our young children through their conflicts by giving them language and other tools to work through them (rather than resorting to hitting). I mean, these are all pretty standard practices for most families, right? You teach your kids that it's not OK to resort to violence to get your way and hope that translates into not getting into fights at school. You hope they grow up to stand up to injustices great and small. You hope they learn to stand up for themselves with words rather than fists. You hope they choose peace.
While there are many things Isaiah and I can do at home to promote peace, I also want to somehow foster a global perspective surrounding peace, which means talking about the hard stuff. Up until recently, Hunter carried a lunch bag with peace symbols on it. As a 2-year-old, he never asked what they meant, but when he went back to school this year, we talked about how peace means "not fighting." That was the simplest definition I could come up with that I thought would make sense to him. And it does. He is big enough to understand now that people use violence to try to solve their problems.
Next month, on September 21, we will observe the U.N. International Day of Peace. Hunter will learn that peace is not just a symbol on his brother-and-sister matching t-shirts (courtesy of Tea Collection). He will learn that through respect, unity, equality, and diversity we can work toward a more peaceful world. He will learn that we have a lot of work to do.
This idea of a more peaceful world is a lofty goal, I know, but I have to believe it's possible otherwise what kind of future do my children and grandchildren have? For now, we will work on making peace at home and continuing to make the foreign familiar (click here for my blog series about making the foreign familiar). When we realize that we are more alike than we are different, we open the path for peace.

this.props.history.push('/dashboard/session')

so now i am ,getting the error that

TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined

but when i did not pass the callback function with /login route like this
<Route path='/login' exact component={LoginPage} />

then it works fine.
Below is my code

A: Pass the route props from the Route on to the rendered component.
<Route
  path='/login'
  exact
  render={(routeProps) => ( // <-- { history, location, match }
    <LoginPage
     sectionEmailHandler={this.sectionEmailHandler}
     {...routeProps} // <-- spread in to component
    />
  )}
/>

A: I assume you are using react router.
In your example
<Route path='/login' exact render={() => <LoginPage sectionEmailHandler={this.sectionEmailHandler} />} />

You need to pass in the props like this.
<Route path='/login' exact render={(props) => <LoginPage sectionEmailHandler={this.sectionEmailHandler} {...props} />} />

The props contains match, location, history

The children render prop receives all the same route props as the
component and render methods, except when a route fails to match the
URL, then match is null.

Canary Islands»Tenerife»Is Tenerife Worth Visiting? - Our Top 10 Reasons To Visit Tenerife
Is Tenerife Worth Visiting? - Our Top 10 Reasons To Visit Tenerife
TenerifeTravel advice for Tenerife
Teide National Park, one of the top reasons to travel to Tenerife, is the most visited National Park in Spain
If this is your first time planning a holiday to Tenerife, you may find yourself asking if this destination is worth visiting or it's right for you and your family. We are declared fans of Tenerife and come over as often as we can, so in this article, we'll try to present the reasons why you should also come and visit Tenerife.
Reasons to visit Tenerife
1. Mount Teide
2. The amazing climate in Tenerife
3. The beautiful beaches
4. The carnival
5. Local gastronomy
6. Surfing
7. Whale watching
8. The mystical Anaga Rural Park
9. Stargazing
10. Log Gigantes cliffs
So...should you visit Tenerife?
Tenerife is the most visited island in the Canary Islands archipelago and there's a good reason why millions of people come over each year: Tenerife is gorgeous and has an amazing climate, considered by some as the best climate in the world.
If you're looking to come to the Canary Islands for the first time, Tenerife might be the best choice for you, as the island is very diverse in terms of landscapes and activities, so every type of traveler can easily find a way to fill their time. In Tenerife, you have everything from tall mountains (Mount Teide - 3718m), lovely beaches, mystical forests in Anaga, charming villages like Masca and towns which preserve the local architecture, like Garachico and La Orotava.
Plus...did you know that Tenerife has one of the best carnivals in the world?
For us, it's not difficult to make a list of reasons why we love coming to Tenerife. The difficult part is to keep the list at a reasonable length since there are so many reasons why we keep on coming back to this beautiful island.
Did you know that Mount Teide is the tallest mountain in all of Spain?
For us, Mount Teide is the symbol of Tenerife, as you can see it from almost any part of the island. You don't even have to be an avid hiker in order to enjoy the beauty of the National Park. If it's your first time coming to the island, just take a day tour which will show you the major sights like Roque Cinchado, a rock formation that used to appear on the one thousand peseta banknotes, with Teide in the background.
A "hard" winter day in Tenerife: warm and sunny, perfect for chilling on the beach
We have to be honest... gorgeous weather that Tenerife gets almost year-round is one of the major attractions to the island. And this is why we normally prefer to come here over the winter months, looking to escape the cold back home.
Tenerife is also known as the "island of eternal spring" since the temperatures rarely drop below 20°C during the day time in the south of the island, even in winter. We've spent several winters in the south of Tenerife and we usually only need a jacket at night in winter, when the temperature drops to around 15 - 17°C.
Playa Las Vistas, Los Cristianos
Most of the visitors to Tenerife only spend time on the beaches in the south of the island, which is a real shame since there are many more lovely beaches on the western coast and in the north of the island, although some of them might be more suitable for surfing than for swimming.
For sunbathing and swimming, our favorite beach in the south is Las Vistas in Los Cristianos and in the north, it's the gorgeous Playa Las Teresitas, close to Santa Cruz.
Tenerife has the best carnival in the Canary Islands
Did you know that the carnival in Tenerife is the second largest in the world, after the one in Brazil?
Celebrated each year, usually in February/March, the carnival draws big crowds to Santa Cruz, especially for the big parade celebrated on Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (when the burial of the sardine takes place). But we also recommend coming to the city for one of the big street parties, like the Daytime Carnival, usually celebrated on a Saturday.
Barraquito coffee
If you decide to come to Tenerife, we absolutely recommend that you try the Barraquito, the famous Canarian coffee with "vitamina" (aka Licor43). Another staple food are the wrinkled potatoes (papas arrugadas) with mojos (green and red sauce). But you can also try the gofio and of course, the fresh fish and seafood since you are on an island in the middle of the Atlantic after all.
Tenerife is a great destination for surfers and the best months are usually October, November and the other winter months. The coast of El Medano is very popular among kite surfers and for the more advanced, you cat catch great waves in Playa El Bollulo and other nearby beaches on the north coast.
Did you know that the open waters between Tenerife and La Gomera are ideal for seeing whales in their natural habitat (dolphins as well)? Also, seeing the coast of Tenerife from the boat will give you a different perspective on the beauty of this island.
BOOK ONLINETenerife: Whale & Dolphin Watching with Drinks and Snacks
Includes transport to and from your hotel in Tenerife south
Champagne, snacks & unlimited drinks included
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before activity starts
Walk on the Path of the Senses, one of the many reasons why you should visit Tenerife
Anaga is one of our all-time favourite places in Tenerife since we love hiking and exploring the island on foot. But even if you're not into hiking, you can still rent a car and drive through the park, stopping at the many viewpoints with breathtaking views.
Mirador Cruz del Carmen is a popular place to start your incursion through the Anaga forests, as here you will find 3 trails of different difficulties and lengths, all set-up to help you get a sense of what sort of views and vegetation you can expect to see if you decide to explore Anaga further.
Other places to see in Anaga are Tanaganana and Playa de Benijo, from where you can admire one of the best sunsets in Tenerife.
Watch an amazing sunset in Teide National Park and then wait for the stars to come out
Did you know that the Canary Islands are among the best destinations in the world for stargazing?
We've been on a tour with Teide By Night and we were amazed by how amazing the sky in Tenerife looked at night inside Teide National Park, where there is almost no light pollution. It's a one of a kind experience, which we highly recommend.
BOOK ONLINETeide by Night: Romantic Sunset & Stargazing Experience
Includes 3-course meal with wines, water, and coffee
Pick up from the South Coast of Tenerife
View of the Log Gigantes cliffs from the mirador - isn't this view worth coming to Tenerife?
Another of the natural symbols of Tenerife, besides Teide, are the cliffs in Los Gigantes, rising between 300 m and 600 m above sea level. First, you can stop at Mirador Archipenque for a view over the town with the cliffs in the background, then you can go down to Playa Los Guios, to see the cliffs from sea level and experience a beach with black sand, typical for a volcanic island like Tenerife.
In our opinion YES, and after your first visit, you'll probably want to return here over and over again.
Don't forget that Tenerife is much more than the popular resorts in the south like Playa de Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. Those are great places for relaxation and beach time and also good bases for exploring the island.
But there are far more things to do in Tenerife than lounging in the sun, which is why we keep coming back. And if you love the outdoors and the sunny warm weather, Tenerife is waiting for you with the perfect mix of beaches, theme parks, hiking trails and typical old villages, for an interesting mix of activities for the entire family.

We've raised £260 to To help support homeless, sick and injured Cats and dogs in Gaza, Palestine.
Please help Cats and dogs suffering from neglect and abuse in Gaza, Palestine.
These are just some of the animals my friend in Gaza is currently trying to help. She has 32 cats/ kittens and several dogs/puppies. There are literally thousands of homeless animals really suffering over there in horrendous circumstances. They can suffer from absue on the street, be poisoned or shot and therefore I really wanted to do something to help!
The current situation is Palestine means its unsafe and people are living in very difficult circumstances. A great deal of animals are really mistreated and some of the things I've read since getting involved with this will shock me forever! My friend over there really is trying to help these animals. Shes renting a separate house for her animals, to keep them away from any curelty they are likely to receive on the street. She is in contact with Sulala for animals, who are the only official animal rescue in Gaza and whom do lots of great work! They have been amazing and have helped us with food for the animals and some medication, but sadly they are currently looking for somewhere themselves to house all the animals they have and therefore they cant take them at present, They have however put us in contact with vets in the area who will offer a discount.
The rent for the house these animals currenlty live in (they all can't live in my friends property as there is just so many of them!) Is $100 a month, shes already behind by 3 months and the landlord is threatening to kick them out. The rescue tried to talk to him, but no extension was made. My friend also can not afford to pay for all the vet fees herself and some of the animals have bad infections, that can lead to awful conditions! There are already several disabled cats including 3 who are blind.
For those precious kitty cats who have such a rough life. Thankfully they have an angel watching over them! If the world was full of people like Em there would probably be peace on Earth!
I finally got paid and I can't forget Em and her precious kitty cats!


I shared a tiny little peep of what I've been up to on my last post and some of you guessed it!
So for the last week I've been Putzing!
These little houses are also called Putz houses.
I've made a few and have set up a little snow scene to set my houses on so you could see them.
Well, actually I've pulled out a handful of white card stock for my snow.
Adding the little accessories are so fun!
I don't think they have to be to scale either, do you?
You always need a porch light.
Santie Claus is comin' to town!
I made four little churches.
Little angels showed up too!
Do you like my little Glitter houses?
Oh, I didn't think someone my age could have this much fun.
I've felt like a little girl making play houses.
Now I've been cutting, gluing, glittering, putzing...having a ball!
Now if you'll go to my next post you'll see how I made these little houses.
for me, to put together these little houses.
Love, love, love the houses! Yes, please tell us how you did them. They remind me of when I was little and my great grandmother made a village of them around her tree.
Lawsey Mercy Miss, those are all so pretty.. you did a great job and you're so far ahead of the rest of us too.. I'll still be scrambling in late nov. to get things ready lol.
Your grands are going to be in awe of the village you've made. I can see their eyes twinkling already.
I feel cooler already looking at your snowy village! It is absolutely charming and I'll be back to find out all your secrets!
I love your little houses! I can't wait to see your tutorial!
Now my eyes are glistening...they make me feel all nostalgic and happy! I can't wait to see how you made them and if it's something I can try to do! Are you sure you can't just move in with me for awhile and teach me to craft? Happy Sunday my friend!
Those are so cute. We sold some similar to these during Easter and I thought they looked like something you could make. Yours are so much nicer and prettier. I love them! What a great project!
These are just darling! Can't wait to see your directions. BTW -- I've posted my tomato pie recipe now..(I remember that you asked for it).
Love your wee houses and churches, Sheila! I have only one and I must remedy that! Have a lovely day.
These little "snow" houses are adorable!!! I checked out a book at the local library this week that has a cardboard Church similar to the plastic one my MoMa put out every year when I was a child! Oh, the memories!!! I'll be back to see how you made yours, as the instructions in this book seem quite simple! Thanks for letting us forget for a moment our unbearable heat with this "c o o l" post!
These little houses are soooo cute! You have done a wonderful job. I love Christmas crafts in July!
I adore your little Christmas houses! They are so charming! You've inspired me to make a few of my own!
I enjoyed your Christmas village tour Shelia! They all look so cute together!
OH MY I ADORE these I can't wait for a tutorial!!!!
I do love your Christmas in July. What patience's you have. I can see why this would make you feel young again.
Your little village looks so wonderful, so cute! I love play houses, too, and can imagine your joy.
Oh my gosh, you never cease to amaze me and everyone else!!! Did you actually make the Putz houses??? I have two or three patterns but was unable to glue them with my chubby, fat, fingers!!!
Very cute !! I love those little glittery houses !
Adorable...simply adorable! Can't wait to see how you made them.... Little houses, can we ever get enough of them?
I just love all the glittery pastelness of all these cute little houses. They look good enough to eat... they remind me of surgery gumdrops!
I would love to have a whole village of these, but not sure where to store more Christmas decor. Maybe just one big Sugar Plum Fairy Castle!
What a cute little village! You have been having fun!
OMG Shelia I LOVE them!!
These are the cutest little houses I've ever seen. I can't wait for you to tell us how you did them. Looks like so much fun!
WOW!! You really made some cute putz houses! They're adorable. What a talented lady you are! I pinned your Putz houses!
Such cuties...love your creativity!!! mmmmmm wondering what you'll be doing around January???
Yes, I love Christmas and your little houses. Thanks for making me smile today.
Wow! It's an early Christimas village Shelia. Wish I could be there to touch and volunteer as your assistant. I love it. You just don't know how much your post made me happy today. The kid at heart in me suddenly perked up because of thi Christmas reminder. Thank you Shelia. Have a great week!
You have been a busy girl. Perfect activity for these hot July days. You need to link this to the Christmas in July party at Cowgirl Up.
Lovely little houses! I bought a couple of cardboard houses at Hobby Lobby two years ago ( at least?) that I was going to decorate and use as ornaments. They are still sitting waiting on me to get busy decorating. Congratulations on getting so many done!
Now you know that I am loving these!! They are just darling! I am waiting with bated breath for you to show us how you make them..
These are totally adorable. So vintage looking too. Looking forward to seeing how to make them although I have to be honest and say I would probably wouldn't do it! Looks like a lot of work. See you later!
These are adorable. DO you have a cricut machine. Because if you did, you can cut these houses out with the village cartridge. Maybe that is something you want to keep in mind for next time.
Love the village though. I put one up in October for Christmas, If you'd like, go to my blog and go back to where the village post is. Enjoy your village.
Shelia, I am in love.♥♥♥ You knew I would be, didn't you?
Sheila, It is so good to be home again. We did have a 'grand time' camping.
Your Christmas houses and churches are beautiful. I had to back and read your post again. I am so glad you made these so I can copy you. They really look vintage. Good job Shelia. I have a few vintage ones but Cheri' ate some of mine when she was a puppy. Sigh.
I'll be watching for instructions.
Your little houses don't surprise me, my friend! I got suspicious when you started pinning more and more sweet houses on Pinterest. So glad you made them - they're so sweet!
Your little houses are precious! You are a genius at creating all sorts of beauties!
It's adorable... I love your "little world."
Shelia I just love your Chrstmas village, the buildings are so adorable. Happy Christmas in July!
Thank-you for visiting today! Your glitter houses are adorable! I was checking through your blog posts and I see that you are very talented and I love your sense of humor. Your home is beautiful and very cozy looking! Crazy over your sunporch too. I'm glad to join your blog and I'll visit again! Have a wonderful week ahead !
Your little glitter houses are so sweet! Great job!
Right now I don't have the energy to do much of anything - wish I did!
Oh, I love these!!! I downloaded some putz house patterns ages ago, and they don't look too difficult, but I've never gotten around to trying to make any. You have inspired me! Now I can't wait to try some. Looking forward to your instructions!
Thanks for stopping by today! I LOVE your Putz village! I can't wait to hear more about them!
These are adorable. I can't wait to see you post on how you made it easier. I'm particularly interested in how you printed on the glitter paper (well, it looks like you did for the windows and doors).
Winters at my place are waaaaay to long and waaaaaaaaay to cold.
Although these are lovely,.......Christmas and winter is FAR FAR away from my mind.
Those are so cute. You made them all? So cute.
Unreal Sheila, you are amazing!
Can't wait to see how you did it too!
These are awesome and I sure hope you are sharing them at our cowgirl up Christmas in July next week on Tuesday. I love these darling little houses.
Love your putz houses! How fun to add all the details and together they are amazing!
I love every single one of these sweet and glittery Christmas buildings especially because I love anything to do with Christmas and because it is winter here in Australia and I love Christmas in July!
You are so clever Sheila! I'll have to see how you made them in your next post!
Your glitter houses are adorable. I love the retro look of them and to think you made them! I'm headed to your newer post to see how you made these cuties.
Oh my! These are adorable. Thanks for sharing them on Cowgirl Up- Christmas in July. I am showing off your post on my fb page today.

Interviews Music News
Artist Interview: katie MAC
Post author By Lauren
No Comments on Artist Interview: katie MAC
It's a foggy October day and pop artist katie MAC and I grab a table outside of a coffeeshop in Nashville. While we wait for our teas to cool down to a reasonable temperature, we have plenty of time to discuss her new EP Self Sabotage. It's been months since either of us have had an in-person interview, and we both laugh about how we aren't sure how to do this anymore, but we take a stab at it anyway.
CROWDSURFER MAG: Your EP just came out this month! How does it feel to have your second body of work out there?
KATIE MAC: It's different than the first for sure. To have the songs out felt like a turning point, like a change in the chapter, more personally than musically for me. It felt very cathartic and satisfying to finally have those songs out for other people to listen to.
CSM: What does the EP mean as a whole to you?
KM: It felt like an examination of self. I felt like my first album was very outward looking as far as my relationships with other people, whereas this entire thing felt like a step back and kind of an introspective examination through the lens of the way that I interact with other people.
CSM: Why did you pick "Self Sabotage" as the title track?
KM: I think when I finished that song, I was like, wow this is the phrase that feels most true to me in this phase of life. And then I started putting the project together and realized I had been creating that as a theme in my writing without even knowing it. So it just kind of clicked and made sense for that to be the title track.
CSM: So we know the title track, but do you have a favorite track?
KM: I do this thing where I am most obsessed with a song for a couple of days and then I hate it for a couple of days and then I like it again. So it changes. But currently, my favorite is the last song, which is called "Worried About Me." I think I like it so much because I made it with my two best friends here. It's special to me because it's not about boys or whatever, it's about my relationship with myself and with my work and my career.
CSM: Self Sabotage follows up your album Tears Like Glitter. You said the content has changed since the album, but what else has?
KM: Tears Like Glitter felt like coming of age for me. Now, as more of an adult, I feel like there's a sense of maturity in this one that was missing from the first one. Sonically, it felt like the sounds on Tears Like Glitter are very similar to this one, it's just that Self Sabotage feels more exploratory. That willingness to try new things as far as production and vocals and is unique and characterizes me as a person
CSM: Tell me a little about your writing process.
KM: For me, it changes depending on the song. But it almost always starts out with an experience that happened to me or someone I'm close to. And then we either start with a title or phrase or melody, and if it's just me writing, it's usually a thirty-minute process and then a song just comes out. But when I'm with really talented writers and producers, we take our time and mold the story, and we'll normally get the track ready the same day we right the song. A lot of times that's the only day I'll be in the studio for the song, and it'll just be done at the end of the day.
CSM: Do you have a preference? Writing by yourself or with producers?
KM: I don't have a preference! I think there are some stories that come out better when it's just me because I'm not afraid of anyone's opinion of what I'm saying. But then being in the studio with people I love and respect is so much fun and we get the most awesome ideas I'd never be able to come up with myself.
CSM: What kind of impact do you hope to have with your music?
KM: What I always come back to is I would like to make people feel less alone in the way that they experience things. If I can make people feel they can express what they're feeling and that they're not alone, I think that I've done my job.
CSM: So you're from Kansas, and obviously music brought you here, but why Nashville?
KM: I really wanted to move to California when I was 17, but my parents wanted me to go to college. I hated all the places I visited, and then we visited Belmont University. We got there and I loved the school, I was like, you're telling me I can spend four years learning to write songs? Sign me up. And I never looked back.
CSM: What's next for you?
KM: I have some collaborations coming up that I'm really excited about!
CSM: We'll keep our eyes out for those! And, it's October. Do you have a favorite Halloween movie?
KM: Ok so apparently Halloween movies is a genre, and I didn't know this. I think I've seen maybe two Halloween movies in my life. My roommate is making me watch Halloweentown tonight, actually.
CSM: A classic!
KM: I'll let you know how it is!

Version 4 is finally out!
The conversion of the stored format of JSON is complete and a extensive work has been done on some Dashboard components.
HTML editor has been replaced by a Rich Text Editor which is far more intuitive for users to work with.
As well as Data Fields and Statistics fields, the Rich Text Editor can also display some system information such as today's date and time.
Dashboard Filters are now linked to a single FilterManager (which manages a particular filter field). Multiple filter components can thus work on the same filter field. Filtermanagers can be chained so that downstream ones are impacted by the upstream filter settings.
A banded report generator has been added as a dashboard component. The generator can access the raw data in the file as well as summary data from grids, chart data and statistics.
Multiple-page reports can be created and these can be printed or exported to other formats.
As any filtering is applied to the data extracted for the report, the user can decide upon particular subsets of data that are shown making this an incredibly powerful tool.
We are very excited by the additions to our software - users with a current subscription will get the update for free by clicking "Check Updates" in the menu of their copy of SimpleCube Pro.
Checkout the DEMO or purchase a copy of SimpleCube Pro to explore the power of drag and drop data analysis which now also has banded report generation.


A server message is a global message that an administrator can enter in the administrator console for display on all pages on the server. It is generally used to notify ALL users currently using that particular PageSeeder server of a server wide event such an imminent upgrade or restart.
A server message is NOT an email message.
