Campaigners, trade unionists and political will unite to set out a vision for 'real democracy', at a major conference in Manchester marking the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre.
'This is What Democracy Looks Like' hosted by the Politics for the Many Campaign will bring campaigners together to argue the struggle for a better democracy must continue today.
The Peterloo Massacre was a pivotal point in the struggle for extending the franchise, when armed forces were sent in to break up a huge gathering on St Peter's Field in 1819. 18 were killed.
Speakers at the bicentenary conference will make a left-wing case for building a new democratic settlement today.
They will be joined by trade unionists, academics, writers and activists.
The conference comes in the face of increasing public dissatisfaction with our democratic institutions. Recent research by the Hansard Society found 2/3 of people believe our governing needs 'quite a lot' or 'a great deal' of improvement [1].
The event hopes to set out a vision for a new democracy campaign today.
'This is What Democracy Looks Like' will bring together leading voices to make the case for change and address the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in campaigning for democratic reform.
Lynn Henderson, National Officer for the PCS union and a spokesperson for Politics for the Many, said:
"Peterloo was one of the pivotal moments in the people's history of our country, when tens of thousands of people stood up for parliamentary reform.
"200 years later our democracy is crying out for change. Trust in our political system is at a record low and our institutions do not serve the majority.
"Working people have been at the forefront fighting for progressive change throughout our history. Now it's time for us to build on our legacy and create a politics for the many today."
Organiser Jonathon Shafi said:
"From the continued power of unelected Lords to government efforts making it harder to vote, power today lies in the hands of the few – with millions feeling ignored and alienated by politics.
"Once again those campaigning for a better politics will come together in Manchester to build a new movement for political reform. Each generation we have to rebuild democracy anew. As Parliament crumbles in more ways than one, that task is urgent."
Confirmed speakers so far include:
Paul Mason, writer and commentator
Dawn Foster, Guardian and Tribune Columnist
Dave Ward, Communication Workers' Union General Secretary
James Meadway (Former Chief Economic Advisor to John McDonnell)
Jon Trickett, Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office
Hillary Wainwright, Editor, Red Pepper
Title: "This Is What Democracy Looks Like: Building a Politics For The Many"

Politics for the Many is the trade union campaign for political reform: http://politicsforthemany.co.uk
Its launch statement says:
From the Chartists pushing for universal suffrage, to the Scottish TUC's role campaigning for a Scottish Parliament, trade unions have often been at the forefront of demands for a better democracy that puts working people at the centre.
100 years ago the Representation of the People Act was passed – extending the right to vote to many women and abolishing the requirement that men must hold property to vote.
Today, there is a new democratic frontier for trade unions in Britain: reforming Westminster's creaking establishment. From a broken voting system, to an unelected House of Lords and denying 16 and 17 year olds the vote, Parliament is skewed towards a privileged few.
Trade unions exist for workers to stand up against concentrations of power and wealth. Today, our politics concentrates power to a handful of voters in wealthier swing seats, while throwing 22m votes in the electoral scrapheap. That's a recipe for alienation and distrust.
Democracy is never a finished thing. We have to constantly struggle to remake democracy anew for each generation.
Today we are proud to launch Politics for the Many – the trade union campaign for political reform. If you are involved in a trade union, join us.

Gyrodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates belonging to the order Gymnodiniales within class Dinophyceae.

The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. World Register of Marine Species lists 141 species, with many synonyms.

They are heterotrophic (cannot produce its own food) and feed on diatoms (such as Chaetoceros debilis) that can be up to 12 times their length. They are 'naked' dinoflagellates, meaning they lack armor (or cellulosic plates).

Q: Possible alternate proof of Bertrand's postulate. I don't know if I am right. So I came here. What I did was use the theta function, defined as the sum $\theta(x)=\sum_{p\leq x} \log{p}$. So we have that there is always a prime between x and 2x, for x sufficiently large. Taking this function on both sides yields $\theta(x)$<$\theta(2x)$. What I did was this.
I wrote $\theta(x)$ in terms of the previous sum. So in particular, $\theta(x)=\sum_{p\leq 2x} \log{p}$=($\sum_{p\leq x} \log{p}$)+($\sum_{p<q\leq 2x} \log(q)$). So in particular, there is some $\log q$ > $\log p$, where the $\log(p)$ is "contained" in $\theta(x)$, and $\log(q)$ is "contained" in the larger sum, $\theta(2x)$. So we have that there exists a $\log q$ in between $\theta(x)$ and $\theta(2x)$. (Or more exactly, the logarithms in the sum). So we have there is a prime between x and 2x.
I know its worded badly, but I suppose would could say it is a motivation for a more formal version, for which I am still working on. But I hope it makes sense up to some degree.

Over the most recent weekend, IBB Polonia London played two matches in the Super League. On the 8th December, the team from Durham; named Palatinates made the big drive southwards. The match was of gargantuan proportions and in the end it was the home team that emerged bloodied and scarred victorious 3:2 (16:25; 25:20; 25:23; 23:25; 15:10). Following on from that the team travelled to Southampton VC where they swiftly dispatched the coastal team it just over an hour 0:3 (14:25; 9:25; 11:25).
The very strong team from Durham didn't quite have enough firepower to stop IBB Polonia London in their winning streak. The match was out of the top drawer and the competition of a high calibre and in the end it went to a fifth set.
"Durham started very strongly serving with huge power alternating with pin point accuracy. The Brazilian setter exploited all of his hitters allowing them numerous one on one situations that soon made short work of IBB Polonia in the first set. The second set soon saw the home team working out the strategy that Durham were employing. Durham's most effective element was probably through the middle; but clever serving by the Londoners prevented that option. The match should have been finished 3-1 in favour of Polonia, but a couple of crucial errors gifted the set to the American squad from Durham. The highlight of the entire fixture was Seain Cook diving headlong over the ticket table some ten metres from the side of the court. Unbelievably he made the pick up and Polonia took the point. It was that passion for play and his unbelievable tenacity that makes him the best player in England at the moment. – commented Chris Hykiel, Sports Director of IBB Polonia London.
Saturday's game was the last home game of the first round for the Londoners. As usual the fans were spectacular with their support, and the atmosphere was electric.
"The Official IBB Polonia Fan Club have the loudest voice in British volleyball and the biggest flags! The opposition always know they have a tough game ahead of them when hear the home crowd and see them wearing the official match kits that is now on sale. We are all immensely grateful for them coming each week and singing their hearts out. We hope they can recharge their batteries over the festive period and come back even stronger as the players will." – added Hykiel.
The Sunday's game was the cherry on the icing. The home team from Southampton had nothing in response to the machine that is IBB Polonia London. The short outing produced yet another three points to Polonia.
"We were totally in control of the match. We started each set with a big lead and maintained this until the final whistle each time. It allowed us the opportunity to rest the starting players and give the bench valuable court time. We were very good and thanks to the wins this weekend, we can enjoy Christmas knowing we are in first position." commented Patrik Selep, Assistant Coach of IBB Polonia London.
IBB Polonia London have not lost a match all season. The first position is now guaranteed and next Saturday is the final match of the calendar year. The result will show what an advantage IBB Polonia has over the rest of the league. The game is on 15th December and takes place on the home court of the team from Newcastle Staffordshire and completes the first round of matches.

Gretel Unveils Tempting Products Tonight at Inventory in Miami
By Lauren Hill
The children's story goes, that little Hansel and Gretel were tempted by a house filled with candy and sweets. Fast forward to March 3, 2011 and now Gretel is tempting us with new products like ceramics, textiles and lighting.
Tonight Gretel will make our mouth water from their new home accessories debut as part of the Inventory Series 01 in Miami, Florida. Along with new sophisticated products, the evening also features speakers from Miami's design community: Luis Pons, architect and industrial designer (D-Lab), Erika Morales and Julian Martin, graphic designers (Lemon Yellow), John Lin, director of communications (The Webster) and Rodrigo Londono, architect and creative director (Catapult 13).
Tonight's unveiling starts at 7, but if you happen to be soaking up the Miami sun during the weekend, the Gretel pop-up installation is open Friday and Saturday from 10-6 and Sunday 10-4 at the Buena Vista Building in the Design District, Miami.
Though a house full of chocolates sounds tempting, in my opinion, Gretel's new home decor is just as sweet as candy.

Dubai Font: Sheikh Hamdan unveils Microsoft's first font to be created for a city
The Crown Prince of Dubai has told government institutions in the emirate to use the new font in all correspondence from now on.
The Dubai Font, the first typeface developed by Microsoft for Dubai, will be available to more than 100 million users in Arab and Latin script. AFP
DUBAI // Microsoft's first typeface to be created for a city – called Dubai Font – was on Sunday launched by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the emirate's Crown Prince.
And Sheikh Hamdan has told government departments to use the new font in all correspondence from now on.
"The launch of the Dubai Font to the world is a very important step for us as part of our continuous efforts to be ranked first in the digital world," he said.
"We are confident that this new font and its unique specifications will prove popular online and in smart technologies across the world. Therefore, we urge all government entities to use the Dubai Font in their official correspondence.
"This is considered a positive shift that will boost the emirate's competitiveness in smart technology."
سمو الشيخ حمدان بن محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم يطلق #خط_دبي إلى العالم، والمستوحى من القيم التي تميز الإمارة و تلهم أهلها وزوّارها. #عبّر_عن_نفسك pic.twitter.com/uCBHXnOKnX
— Dubai Font (@DubaiFont) April 30, 2017
Sheikh Hamdan, who oversaw all stages of the font's development, congratulated everyone who contributed to the initiative, saying it was a new tool for a more tolerant and happy world.
Abdulla Al Shaibani, Secretary General of the Executive Council of Dubai, said the font was the emirate's new and innovative mark in the digital world, and one that built a knowledge bridge between the East and West.
"The Dubai Font sets itself apart from other fonts because it was designed based on the main pillars that have turned Dubai into a remarkable symbol of success and tolerance," Mr Al Shaibani said.
"It was simultaneously designed in both Arabic and English, which was later extended to include 21 other languages."
Samer Abu Ltaif, president of Microsoft in the Middle East and Africa, said that Dubai Font would be available globally to more than 100 million users.
"The debut of this font is a great example of successful collaborations between the public and private sectors to encourage reading and adopt more technical solutions to serve the communities," Mr Abu Ltaif said.
Dubai Font was designed by Dr Nadine Chahine in collaboration with a team from a global agency, Monotype. It fills a design gap between Arabic and Latin texts and presents harmonious typefaces combining the two.
"The openness and harmony of the people in the UAE, the essence of Dubai and its vision to become the quintessential modern Arab city were our source of inspiration to design the Dubai Font," said Dr Chahine, type director at Monotype.
"The challenge wasn't to create a quality font but to create a new and a special medium of expression to unleash ambitions and transcend borders."

Address 300 Union Hill Drive Suite 200, Birmingham, Alabama 35209
Bridget Hoven, a successful real estate agent with LIST Birmingham, has always loved real estate.
Bridget and her husband — now empty-nesters —recently sold their home in The Preserve and are in the process of building a home in Blackridge. Earlier this year, Bridget noticed the success LIST Birmingham was having in Blackridge and moved her license to LIST.
LIST Birmingham represents both buyers and sellers, and Hoven's goal is to make the process as stress free as possible for her clients, while also exceeding their expectations.
At this full-service real estate company, clients are offered a flat fee, which sets the company apart from most others.
"We aren't the only flat-fee company in Birmingham, but we are definitely the best," she said. "The average client of LIST Birmingham saves $8,000 by listing their home with us. One of my clients will save over $20,000 when their home closes this month. The more your home sells for, the more you save, but the average savings is $8,000. Our listing fee is $2,900 which saves sellers thousands."
What Hoven is most looking forward to in the new year is to expand her business.
"LIST Birmingham is extremely popular in Homewood, Vestavia and Mountain Brook," she said. "I am hoping to spread the word about LIST Birmingham to the people of Hoover."

"The Feline Queen and Other Tales" by Joanne Hall is a collection of fantasy short stories. They were all previously published in magazines and they are now brilliantly in one easy-to-find and read trade paperback. This collection of twelve short stories was published in 2011 by WolfSinger Publications.
Enough with the facts, onto my opinion!
I really enjoyed reading this collection of short stories. Each story was vastly different from each other and engrossed me in a unique and engaging fantasy world. I particularly enjoyed Joanne's twist of phrase on over used descriptors that she made her own. All of the stories were well crafted with enough description to make me well aware of what was going on but not so cumbersome to bog down the story.
My favorite story in this grouping was "The Caves of Otrecht." I thought that the concept was very unique and it was written in quite a humorous light that I wished it were longer. It made me giggle out loud and I'm glad that my husband wasn't home to give me funny looks. Yes, I know that there was a story about unicorns which are my favorite animal but I like "The Caves of Otrecht" better.
I must say, some of the stories tugged at my memory as writing challenges from a website that Joanne and I both used to frequent years ago. If that is the case, I'm glad that the writing prompts brought a talented author to publication.
So if you want a good collection of solid fantasy short stories to read in-between books or when waiting for the doctor, I recommend picking up "The Feline Queen and Other Tales" by Joanne Hall.

Meggyeskovácsi község Vas vármegyében, a Sárvári járásban.

Fekvése
A Rába völgyében, annak bal parti oldalán fekszik. Sokáig két különálló község volt, melyek közül Balozsameggyes fekszik délebbre, Rábakovácsi pedig jó 2-3 kilométerrel északabbra.

A szomszéd települések: észak felől Ikervár, kelet felől Bejcgyertyános, délkelet felől Egervölgy, dél felől Rum, nyugat felől Csempeszkopács, északnyugat felől pedig Pecöl és Megyehíd.

Megközelítése
Mindkét településrészén végighúzódik, nagyjából dél-északi irányban a 8-as főút rábahídvégi szakaszától Sárvárig vezető 8701-es út, ez a legfontosabb közúti megközelítési útvonala. A nyugati szomszédságában fekvő településekkel a 8442-es út köti össze, határszélét délnyugaton, egy rövid szakaszon érinti még a 87-es főút is.

Vasútvonal nem érinti.

Története
A község két szomszédos község, Balozsameggyes és Rábakovácsi egyesítéséből született 1970. július 1-jén, Balozsamegyes 1889-ben Balozsa és Megyes egyesítésével keletkezett, nevének Balozsameggyes alakját 1903-ban kapta.

A településen 2007. október 7-én időközi polgármester-választást kellett tartani, az előző polgármester halála miatt.

Népesség
A település népességének változása:

A 2011-es népszámlálás során a lakosok 80,2%-a magyarnak, 1,2% németnek, 2% cigánynak mondta magát (19,8% nem nyilatkozott; a kettős identitások miatt a végösszeg nagyobb lehet 100%-nál). A vallási megoszlás a következő volt: római katolikus 57,7%, református 1,4%, evangélikus 1,2%, felekezet nélküli 4,8% (34,3% nem nyilatkozott).

What's Brewing?
Amazon, Google, Entellium on a Roll
Entellium has introduced its next generation CRM software tool designed to help small sales organizations sell more effectively. Titled Rave (ravecrm.com) the ASP-based software offers a host of time-saving, efficiency- enhancing features; an intuitive, visually rich user interface; advanced workflow and automation capabilities to better guide the behavior of sales professionals; and a "smart client" architecture that lets sales reps work both online and offline more easily.Rave was developed using Gamer Influenced Design (GID)(TM), an Entellium- grown concept that incorporates many of the elements found in today's best- selling video games. GID gives traditional boring business software a makeover by integrating visually compelling gaming design techniques.
"Rave is CRM re-mastered for sales people," said Paul Johnston, President and CEO of Entellium. "Rave achieves the double-whammy of delighting the sales rep and delivering all the business benefits our customers are looking for, but in a fun-to-use package that pure play-on-demand services can't achieve."
In developing Rave, Johnston sought a sales productivity tool that embraced many key features found in today's leading video game designs. "After doing a great deal of research, we found that gamers and sales professionals are remarkably similar," Johnston said. "Both play against the clock, score points and require a play-to-win mentality to succeed. Based on these similarities, there is a great deal that business software can learn from the gaming world related to product design. Our latest release of Rave incorporates this thinking, and GID is our inspiration for delivering the mass of unmet unarticulated desires of business software users, whose experience has been neglected."

Amazon.com's Stock at 14-month High
Shares of Amazon.com closed at a 14-month high after an analyst said the company's hefty technology spending may soon pay off.
The online retailer's stock rose $2.79, or 6.6 percent, to $45.20 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, its highest close since Jan. 27, 2006. The shares have gained 15 percent this year.
In a note to investors, Deutsche Bank analyst Jeetil Patel wrote that Seattle-based Amazon's technology investments, which he estimated will top $600 million in 2007 for the second year in a row, indicate the company has a much bigger plan than excellence in e-commerce.
"In our opinion, Jeff Bezos and Amazon are ultimately trying to create the operating system of the Internet," Patel wrote, referring to the company's chief executive. [24×7]
Microsoft, AT&T Urge Scrutiny of Google Bid
Federal regulators have not decided which of two antitrust agencies will review Google's $3.1 billion bid for the Internet advertising firm DoubleClick, but already Microsoft and AT&T are asking the government to take a long, hard look at a deal they fear will create an Internet colossus.
Google's cash bid for DoubleClick, which delivers banner advertising to Web sites, raised howls from both firms, which have had their own antitrust issues in the past.
"We think this merger deserves close scrutiny," said Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith. "Google is acquiring its only substantial competitor," said AT&T Senior Vice President Jim Cicconi.
The ironies surrounding the complaints abound. Microsoft tussled with antitrust regulators through the 1990s. AT&T was broken up during the 1980s and its historic name was adopted by one of its spin-offs, SBC Communications — which spent the last year or so warring with activists and sparring with regulators over network neutrality, the policy debate over Internet traffic delivery.
Google spokesman Steve Langdon deflected the criticisms, saying even with DoubleClick his firm would serve "a tiny fraction of the total advertising market." Calling the deal good for "advertisers, agencies, publishers and Internet users," he said Google is "working quickly to assess which (regulatory) filings need to be made."
Antitrust experts say the deal will have to pass muster with either the Federal Trade Commission or the antitrust division of the Department of Justice, which will decide between themselves which of them gets to consider the merger.
"I don't think it's incongruous for Microsoft or AT&T to raise antitrust issues," said attorney Jesse Markham, a partner with San Francisco's Morrison & Foerster. But, he added: "It's usually not useful … (because) if you're a seller in that market, you're not a very credible complainant." [24×7]

Milwaukee business adapts to pandemic-altered New Year's Eve
By Hannah Jewell
Milwaukee business adapts to pandemic-altered New Year's Eve
As many plan to celebrate at home, the Milwaukee restaurant industry looks to adapt for the holiday -- an already challenging year coming to a close.
MILWAUKEE - For Milwaukee, Dec. 31 marks an atypical New Year's Eve as many people celebrate at home. As a result, it won't be a typical New Year's Even for many Milwaukee businesses.
2020 has not been a good year for the restaurant industry. Many closed their doors to the COVID-19 pandemic, and many others are still holding on and finding new ways to survive.
"It's challenging for sure," said Justin Carlisle, chef and owner of Ardent. "Trying to adjust and adapt to any means necessary to stay alive and keep our employees employed."
Ardent, an upscale restaurant on Milwaukee's lower east side, is adapting this New Year's Eve -- selling celebration kits to-go. There will still be indoor seating for eight customers total for the night with reservations made in advance.
Justin Carlisle
"We abide by all the COVID regulations and everything else, but we just try to keep it safe and private for those individuals and especially safe for our staff," Carlisle said.
The Wisconsin Restaurant Association said that New Year's Eve is "typically a very busy night, and tonight has definitely provided some challenges" for businesses. The association recommends that when restaurants, their staff and consumers follow established safety practices, give support as much as possible.
Ardent prepares for New Year's Even to-go orders on Dec. 31, 2020
Carlisle, grateful for the dozens of orders made in advance for people celebrating the end of 2020, is still worried about the months ahead.
"We've learned a lot this year, we've definitely learned a lot about our business," said Carlisle. "January and February, which are usually slower months for us in the industry….but until we find out what's going to happen out, let's continue the support."
The Wisconsin Restaurant Association recommends that, rather than using an app, consumers call local restaurants to have a conversation and see how things have changed for them -- finding out what they have to offer.

I have been going to Dr. Stewart's office for many years and have never been dissatisfied. Dr. Stewart, his staff, and hygienists are always friendly, knowledgeable, and expedient! I even moved 3-1/2 hours away and still go there!
I always get wonderful service at Dr. Stewart's office. I feel very comfortable and really like the staff. My Hygienist, Jennifer, is amazing. I look forward to my visits for my annual teeth cleanings. I would highly recommend Dr. Stewart's office for any of your dental needs!
The staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. Stewart and Jennifer both made me feel extremely comfortable and used a very gentle approach. It was an excellent experience!
Always pleasant with friendly and helpful people.
The care I received was excellent by everyone I came into contact with. I felt my needs were listened to and taken care in the most compassionate manner as usual!! Thanks to Dr. Stewart for always checking on me during my visits; and a special thanks to Jennifer! Also, thanks to the other lady who came in to add the bonding and polishing!!
I was a nervous wreck going to the dentist. The Staff was very friendly. Great visit and will recommend Dr. Stewart and his staff.
I love Dr. Stewart and his staff. I look forward to having my teeth cleaned! Everyone is so friendly and professional.
Very pleased with service and personal. They make me feel welcome and appreciated. Very pleasant.
Jennifer cleaned my teeth on Tuesday, December 18, 2018. She was spectacular and professional. She appeared to enjoy what she does. I have been coming to Dr. Stewart since 1995, I have never encountered such a Professional. She is very good at what she does. I will rate her a 12 out of 10. I was very happy with her work. I will personally let Dr. Stewart know this.
Jennifer is an excellent dental hygienist. She is friendly, personable, thorough, highly skilled and professional.
Excellent service from friendly staff. Actually arrived early from my appointment and started early.
Even though I live in Lake Jackson, I am always going to drive to Dr Stewarts office. He is the best and so is his staff. I recommend him to anyone looking for high quality dental care.
Excellent - I normally am uncomfortable in a dentist office but the folks here went out of their way to make me feel comfortable.
Dr. Stewart and his staff are second to none! My family has been going for years and they always take great care of us!
Always friendly with the latest in technology.
Excellent care and very professional staff.
I was totally impressed with the service I received, prompt care & attention. I had no apprehension. I was at ease. I took a picture of your card, posted it on FB, recommending you.
The lady that worked/cleaned my teeth was very good and professional. She has a very good personality and made me very relaxed and comfortable.
Wonderful experience, never have to wait, everyone always friendly!
Very understanding and made me feel very assured and comfortable with how the process works great staff and very friendly!!!
Procedure went fine butI wish the filling was cleaned off the side of the tooth and the filling was smoothed on the rough edges.
Excellent and thorough - spent the time to explain all and any options we discussed.
Dr Stewart and the staff are always great and i never feel like im going to leave their practice dissatisfied !
If I could give more stars, I would! The employees here amazing, and Dr.Stewart is the best dentists I've ever dealt with! I highly recommend Them! Thank y'all so much!
LAN is the best dental hygienist I have ever had. For the last 14 years or so, I have been happy with her and Dr. Stewart. The personnel behind the desk are just as wonderful, too! I travel many miles to see them!
Best dentist office that i been to in a very Long Long time! Dr. Tajeda was great took his time and explained every little detail to me and my husband as hew as working on me. did as much as he possibly could walked out with minor pain but got a huge relive. His assistant was also great. She was real professional and very attentive with u. will be returning for further work.
This is the second crown that did not fit coming back from the lab. Moulds are taken before the old crown is removed. Why can't the new crown come back the same size and shape as it was? I have issues with fitting teeth that do not match my bite, which can cause jaw discomfort and unevenness in how my teeth fit together one on one, front to back and side to side. It has to be perfect to match the existing teeth. It isn't. So once again I will have to go back into the office to try to gently adjust the tooth to fit better.
Everyone there has the best attitude and treat me so very well. Shout out to Bubba for coming out on a Saturday to take care of my tooth!
Dr. Tejada is very professional and compassionate. He is always learning the latest dental technology to give his patients the best dental care they can receive. The whole team at Dr. Stewart's practice are amazing. They make going to the dentist a piece of cake.
ALWAYS GREAT, FAST , FRIENDLY SERVICE!
Dr. Stewart and Staff are great. I always feel comfortable in their care.
Lan always takes good care of my crowns and underlying structure. I am always concerned about my teeth due to having acid reflux, so keeping everything under control and heading off gum problems is very important.
Excellent visit. My hygienist, Lan, was terrific. Everyone in the office is so nice and upbeat. Thank you Dr. Tejada for your smarts and your professionalism.
Thank you! I am always taken very well care of.
As always, all personnel at Dr. Stewart's office were friendly and helpful.
I've been going to Dr. Stewart for years now and I love him and his staff. My only complaint is he's located in Angleton, not Lake Jackson. Lol. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dental care.
i always receive great care !
Fast service with no waiting. Jennifer was great!
I always look forward to my visits to Dr Stewart. I am always treated as a special patient & I love it. Excellent staff !
The office staff is amazing, Dr. Stewart is so great and patient and explains everything thoroughly. I've been to a few dentists before and won't ever go to anyone other than Dr. Stewart.
The entire staff is awesome! My Hygienist, Jennifer, is the best. Everyone is friendly and prompt!
The staff were friendly and provided excellent care in reference to my dental needs. Really enjoyed the patient/dentist interaction. Best experience I have had in over 20 years. Very knowledgeable and caring about my needs as a patient. Thank you!!
Tiffany was excellent and gentle. Great addition to your staff.
EVERYONE HERE WAS SO KIND AND COURTEOUS....FROM THE TIME I MADE AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT ON THE PHONE, WALKED IN AND SEEN FOR MY APPOINTMENT AND OUT THE DOOR LEAVING! THIS IS DEFINATELY A BLESSED ENVIRONMENT. DR. STEWART YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE PRICELESS. THANK YOU!
Friendly staff, very good dental assistant, prices ok.
Dr. Tejada was amazing. Made sure I wasn't in any pain and comfortable the whole time. Will definitely be returning to him for future dental work.
Jennifer is one in a long line of hygienist that does excellent, efficient, friendly work and almost makes cleaning a pleasure.
Great service by your professionals.
My options and financial cost were explained in detail along with a complete printout. Staff were incredible, especially Dr. Stewart's dental assistant. I strongly recommend Stewart Family Dentistry for affordable & excellent dental care & treatment.
I always get wonderful service at Dr. Stewart's office!
I drive over 100 miles to go to Dr. Stewart and his dental hygienist, Lan. I appreciate their care and friendship.
Pretty much the best dentist I've ever been to. Wish I would have heard of yall sooner.
I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for a very positive experience. Friendy, knowlegable staff who do excellent work.
Excellent service with great care!
I had a great experience having my teeth cleaned on Wed. of this week! Jennifer showed me how to clean my teeth better with my SoniCare brush!! I really appreciate that!! A very young woman teaching an "old dog how to do better"!! We had some great conversation as well!!
Tiffany was really nice and took the time to explain everything in detail to me.
As always, nothing but good. Doc and his staff are top notch.
As always, my visit with Dr. Stewart and his staff was a friendly and pleasant one.
Lan is fantastic! Always enjoy my visit. Lady who checked me out at the end was very efficient and friendly as well(Did not get her name).
Always have pleasant interaction with everyone. Enjoy my office visits. Greatful for all of the kindnesses and professionalism. Linda is great!!!
Everyone in your office is friendly and always helpful. I am so glad Linda St. Lawrence recommended your dental office to my husband and I.
My dental hygienist, Han, is great.
They are the very best dentist & staff in the county. I will always return for any future needs. & I have already told anyone that will listen about how awesome everyone is.
Danielle is amazing! She is always very informative and takes very good care of me during my ortho checks!!
I was very comfortable with everything, follow up plan was explained very well, very happy with everything overall, trying to get my husband to schedule an appt.
Good service! Melissa has awesome customer service!
Had another productive visit with Dr. Stewart and Lon, my hygienist. Was given options with price quotes. Still not certain about decision.
Everyone was friendly and pleasant.
Cherry did an excellent job as always! I enjoy her wisdom, wit and personality as always!
The main reason I travel over 130 miles from Bryan to Angleton to visit the dentist's office is Lan, my dental hygienist. Do not want to change. I have known Dr. Stewart since he was a little boy, so I consider him a friend, as well as my dentist.
Everyone was great. Very professional and friendly staff.
Staff is always friendly & efficient. Cherry & Laughn are excellent.
Everyone is great. I've been to several dentists over the last few years and this is the first one I've felt comfortable at. I'll never go anywhere else.
The hygienist was very professional and informative.
The team was very helpful and accommodating to my needs. They ensured that I did not have to come back another day to get my crown replaced (normally one has to come back another day). Thanks for great customer service Dr. Stewart and company.
Absolutely nothing! You already do an excellent job!
Every thing was great good service friendly people.
I would like to be greeted when I arrive instead of being ignored by someone texting on their cell phone. I had a scheduled cleaning which was excellent. The higenist and Dr. Baker said I needed a deep scale cleaning on one of my teeth. I asked what this would cost and was told the lady at the desk( same one texting when I arrived) would give me the estimate and do the scheduling. When I arrived at her desk she was on the phone and asked could she just call me later to schedule and provide the estimate. Two days later and i still haven't heard anything. About a month ago my wife asked for an estimate for a bridge and a crown using both of her insurance coverages. Again, we will call you back with the estimate. Three calls from us later my wife was told that the charges would be sent to one insurance first and that we would have to pay the remainder up front and if the second insurance covered anything we might be reimbursed.
Always made as comfortable as possible when I go in. Been going so many years I feel like family.
No problems. Everything was fine, like always.
I am always treated with kindness and compassion. I even received a sweet note from Linda St. Lawrence after my visit welcoming me back to the practice. This is why I drive from Sugar Land to go to the dentist. The staff is wonderful!
YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! STAY HEALTHY,HAPPY AND SAFE! LOVE YOU GUYS!
Lon is always willing and ready to help me with anything.
Absolutely love all of you - that is why I drive 200 miles round trip to see you!! Love Dr Charlie!
Been using Dr. Stewart for Years and wouldn't want to think of using any one else. I do refer to him. He took wonderful care of Mrs. Betty Hoffman who I referred. She loves it there.
Great dental cleaning with Cherry! So caring!
service is great. everyone who works for dr. stewart is extremely professional and friendly. they call me by name and always ask about me and my family. they are all so sweet and kind. it feels like they are family. I recommend them to everyone I meet.
Is there away you can help me get Gary Wimberly in to have his teeth cleaned...Men! If all possible he's returning from working overseas and I'll be dragging him in to see you THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE HEALTH SUPPORT AND A BETTER SMILE!
I can't think of a way for anything that could be done in this office to make me feel more comfortable. When I first came I was scared to death!!! When I had my work done everyone was so awesome and understood my fears. Throughout the procedure I was never scared (which totally shocked me)!! Staff and Dr.'s in this office are AWESOME!!! I'm so glad I chose ya'll to take care of me. Keep up the awesome work. Also, everyone is so friendly.
Lacey is always very caring and professional! She's awesome!
Everything was fine, I enjoy Cherry as my dental hygenist, she has a good sense of humor and is excellent at her job!!
Staff as always extremely congenial and considerate.
Linda is always AWESOME! and Nell (I believe that's how you spell it) is the BOMB. Together, hummm look out great team.
Other than having to wait almost 25 minutes past my scheduled appointment with my hygenist the visit went well - Linda always does a good job.
I was taken into the dental area before my appointment time and was finished, early! Everything was great!!
Your dental hygienists are very good at their work and also very friendly and act as if they care.
My daughter's initial experience at your office was not a very good one but we decided to keep going there and we are very glad we did. She is pretty anxious about dental work and every visit (except her 1st one) we have had the plesure of having Megan for her assistant. She jokes with Kaylee and helps her relax and when she answers our questions I can tell she also really knows her job. She even got braces the week before Kaylee did and let Kaylee look at them and ask a bunch of questions. I hope we continue to have her!
I always feel welcome at the dental office. The staff is friendly and provide information in a manner that is understandable and instructional.
The atmosphere in the office was relaxed, and congenial.
I enjoy having Lon (sp) clean my teeth. She is a joy to be around with. I have come to confide in her and we share many pleasant stories and moments during my visit. I just love her!
lana,linda, and everyone was great as alway's !!!
Cherry, the dental hygienist, is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. (keep her) She did a very good job on my teeth!!
I was treated very well. I felt that they were really concerned with the pain I was in, and worked to minimize it.
I actually enjoy having my teeth cleaned now.
i dont recall the ladys name in the front who was kind enough to call medicaid and have them change my other dentist to yall. she was great!!
This visit was a lot faster. Last time it took a long time to be seeing for the first and last part of my visit.
Have already referred Dr. Baker to several others. Had a great experience!
Had a very good visit, the dental hygenist was very professional and did an outstanding job cleaning my teeth.
Please note that Kayla Golaszewski is 22 yrs old, soon to be 23 in a few weeks. She was embarrassed that I, her Mom was called back to discuss her cavaties,etc. I do help her with her health issues since she has other health problems. She is on disability and I take care of her things, but maybe next time ask her if it is ok to call me back. Also, is there anyway she could arrange a payment plan for her cavaties? She only gets $600 a month from SSI. Thank you.
The dentist was very friendly and talked to my child instead of about her. My daughter really liked her. However the assistant who took her back to take xrays insisted my 14 year old had head lice when she was clearly broken out from head to toe with allergic eczema which she was already being treated medically for. The way she spoke and handled my daughter as if she were diseased was appalling. This practice treats children and should employ people sensitive enough to understand how fragile a 14 yr old girl already battling a skin rash's self esteem can be. How do you think she felt about herself the rest of that day? She would not even go back to band practice because she thought kids would think she has head lice. Thanks for that.
I did not get the dental assistant's name but she was very helpful.
continue to be kind as you always are. you guys are great!
I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy. Lan is always superior with her periodontal magic. I have no complaints. Thank You.
I have no complaints,Everyone on the staff is very kind and courteous.I recommend ya'll to all of my friends. Keep up the great work !
The dentist and staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable.
Terry seemed very passionate about her job and thoroughly explained the services she will be providing to me on my next visit. Dr. Stewart was wonderful, as always.
You have an amazing staff-they are always friendly, courteous and very professional. Dr Charlie is fantastic & I have known him for 30+ years. I recently met Dr Baker & was very happy with her.
Everyone on your team is friendly, great at what they do, and make me feel comfortable. Love your dental office.
I had a root canal done. I have had one done by a different dentist and had several issues after it was done and I was very uncomfortable during the procedure. I was very impressed with dr baker and her assistant. They both made me very comfortable, were very thorough, clean, and gentle. Because of former experience I was expecting more pain and soreness but I was wrong. Afterwards it hurt but after several hours I was just a little sore just as she said I would be. That was it though. 2 days and all is good, actually much better than before procedure. Thank you for treating me with care, skill, and professionalism. Wish all doctors were this good. I will have any and all dental work done by this office.
Always on time, very friendly,and they take good care of me and my family!
Parking seems to be getting to be a problem as I was able to find the last one available.
All personnel were friendly as always, especially Lan, my dental hygienist.
Great services and warm, friendly office members. Dr. Sterwart is always a delightful doc. The new look is refreshing. Linda is wonderful; does an excellent job and a warm, caring person. Enjoy coming for my usual visit.
Things went great. And the dentist was friendly.
No complains---I have had nothing but enjoyable experiences at Dr. Stewart's office. The whole staff is courteous and very professional!
Everyone was friendly, patient, and very pleasant. My questions were answered and I felt very comfortable.
I wanted to set my next appointment, the male visitor there seemed to distract the girls in front. I have to call in an appointment, would rather have done there so I know the financial situation for the next visit.
All of the staff . Everyone in the office is very nice .
Cherry went above and beyond during my visit. She gave me very helpful information about the procedure before and after we did it. I know I have neglected my oral health but she and Dr. Stewart did not chastise me for my mistakes. Instead they offered me support and told me how I should do things differently. While my visit was quite painful, it was needed and I will be returning.
Your office was perfect and friendly,love coming there.
I meet cherry and I LOVED her! I was nervous but she helped me calm down! I honestly cant wait to come get my teeth fixed!
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My hygienist was terrific and when I asked how painful the cleaning would be, she took care of it. I am so glad Linda St. Lawrence recommended you to me.
The over all experience was great, however I was not all numb in the back of my front teeth where the work was done. I was going to ask how loud do you think the grinding and drilling is because with my mouth open it radiates the sound and if it is loud to me then Dr. Stewart and his associates are in that 8 hour time weighted average 85dbl.
I had what I would consider a "tooth emergency" and I was worked in right away on a Monday morning. I did not have to wait at all and I was treated with kindess, sympathy and efficiency. Dr. Stewart is so patient and understanding and his assistant, Raeann is incredibly sweet and caring. In addition to being personable, she is very good at her job. I also appreciate how I am greeted each time I visit. The front office staff runs an efficient office and it is obvious that the staff members enjoy their jobs.
Eveyrone was professional and courteous.
Both Dr. Stewart, and the lady scheduled to clean my teeth (whose name escapes me [senior moment], were very courteous, and helpful.
All staff members were very nice and explained everything to where one could understand what was going to be done or needed .
Enjoyed meeting Cherry & Dr. Baker. Excellent cleaning & very impressed with both.
Have never been to a more gental dentist. His staff goes over & beyond!!
Dr. Stewart assistant was very informative and friendly as was Melissa at the front desk. Appreciate the good service.
Spanish speaking dental Tech are needed in your practice.
Dr. Baker removed one of my wisdom teeth, and outside of the temporary discomfort of the procedure, it was a wonderful experience. I had a lot of fun interacting with the staff and all of them had an overall pleasant attitude. keep up the great work!
I am absolutely satisfied with the work done so far..
I really like my dental hygienist and Dr. Stewart that's why I come from Bryan still to see them.
I love the little girl that cleans my teeth & I'm very comfortable with her. I don't really see anything you need to change.
Lan makes the experience great! She's caring, professional, and a good listener. When it's time to go, you feel like you have just visited with a longtime friend.
Gina was a jewel and Sherry was her equal.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING,YOU ARE DOING GREAT!
One office desk person is always rude and talks down to people in the office and on the phone, rude. Hate to change dentist but need to see in network dentist, cost is very high.
Everything was great as always !!!
I was absolutely scared to death to go in, but I had no choice because the tooth pain was so bad. I have had bad experience in the past and I shared this with Raeann (sp?) and Melissa. Raeann was as patient as could be and I have faith that they will make all of my future visits as nice as this one. Dr. Stewart was very patient with me, as I need "gas" and numerous numbing shots. The dental hygenist was told of my concerns and she too, was very patient and understanding. I dreaded the visit, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have also learned to listen to your dentist the first time around. I will now follow Dr. Stewart's recommendations and hopefully it is not too late.
Been going here for over ten years and have always been treated great. Dr Stewart gets everything needed done quickly and correctly. Staff and Dr are professional and knowledgable.
My appointment for cleaning was handled by Lon...as always in a professional manner. My options were explained as well as my financial obligations, however, I feel that unless I am in pain, I will keep the original teeth until I am unable to use my lower teeth because of pain, breakage, etc. I am currently not in pain and the bracing behind the lower teeth holds the teeth in place in order for me to bite. Thanks for the great things you and your staff perform in order for us to maintain our smiles and abilities to eat.
I really enjoy the social setting.
Everyone was friendly. Lan does a great job.
Thinking I would go to my appointment for braces, I did get more than I bargained for. I was a little overwhelmed by all the dental work that needs to be done before I even get the braces. I did leave there a little depressed because there wasn't a whole lot of good news other than I did get a discount, and I am so thankful for that. All the ladies I met where very kind and helpful, even Dr. Stewart.
I need to reflect on this, but for now I can think of anything.
I drive over 130 miles to go to Dr. Stewart and my dental hygienist because I'm very particular about the people that do my dental work. I am very satisfied with Dr. Stewart and all his staff.
It was my understanding my insurance was to cover my total exam. I was very suprised to learn a perio probe was not part of the exam, which was done routinely, and the fee asked for upon my exit. That was not very professional in my book.
I enjoy coming to your office for service. The Dental Hygeneist is great, the very best.
Totally happy with everything and am so happy and relieved to find a good, honest group of people.
I was taken back on your analysis of my dental situation. Your attention to detail was excellent . The discovery of what had supposedly been adressed by the previous dental group definitely got my attenion. Thanks.
I have been seeing Dr. Stewart now since around 1990 I believe. I do not want to step into a different dental office, unless Dr. Stewart opened a new office !!!
Lan is always very professional and friendly. She shows a lot of care for her patients.
Your office staff and Tech were very nice and very informative. I actually enjoyed my visit to the dentist.
Great group of people! Pleasant experience going to the dentist!! Not many people could say that about going to their dentist!! Very thankful for,these folks! Please don't change anything!
My dental assistant was very friendly and reasuring.
I enjoyed chatting with the lady who cleaned my teeth.
Since the office is going paperless, before I left I was given some papers to complete at home and mail back. The receptionist could have provided them when I arrived so I could complete them while waiting.
I was very comfortable and impressed by the overall professionalism of the team. The facility was clean and impressive. Job well done!
My hygienist Linda was excellent and very attentive. Dr.Stewart always makes me feel comfortable and the ladies up front are always fun and they remember me, which makes me feel even more at ease.
lan and linda are the best !!!!!!
Started seeing Dr. Stewart in the late 80's I believe. Does everything he can to keep your teeth good. BEST dentist !!!
Doc was great as always, and Nell explained the financial part very well.
Dr. Stewart and his staff are always professional and caring and work hard to make our dental visit a pleasant experience.
In my opinion, the price was a bit more than I expected to pay but, for the level of service, it's easy to justify.
I think everything was just fine! Everyone was professional acting and professionally dressed! My next appointment was scheduled and what should be taken care of was explained to me!! Great experience!!!
I was there the day before for a four o'clock apt there was another person who also had an apt at same time. I waited for an hour and still wasn't seen so i left after rescheduling it. I don't think enough time is allotted for each patient.
Wonderful caring Staff, as ALWAYS!!!! Excelant, Excelant, service!!!
As always my visit was pleasant. I would not change dentist, especially because of my dental hygienist.
All of u are great! you have been so kind and helpful! I have already reccomended u to several friends.
You should make all of your x-ray cameras out of sugar free gummie bears so they are a lot more enjoyable while crammed down my throat. :-) j/k. Everyone was very professional and personable. Good first visit!
Dental tech (Lon?) was very efficient and a good communicator.
everyone is nice that works there, and Lon my hygentist is great.
I was a minute late myself so I expected that I might have to wait a few minutes to get in for an adjustment. Dr. Stewart was professional and timely. I am happy with the result.
I was in a lot of pain, so it was hard to be comfortable, but Dr. Stewart and his staff were very reasuring and professional..I am looking forward to getting my dental treatment.
Staff is always friendly & helpful. I appreciate the timeliness & efficiency in our appointments.
Was worked in to an already busy schedule at the office. I arrived 30 minutes early for my visit and was brought back within 15 minutes of arriving.
I truly appreciated the explanation by the person who explained the financial options to us. Very pleasant.
The young lady who worked with Dr. went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Very sweet and caring. The receptionist also went out of her way to help me get the best crowns available very sweet and caring also!!!
The dental assistand was detail oriented, friendly & did a really great job of explaining everything to me.
Love Dr. Stewart! My entire family has been going to him for 14 years! Truely the most gentle dentist I have ever been to.
I have found everyone on your staff to be friendly, helpful and professional. Thank you for your service.
Not at this point, but I will start thinking about improvements.
Everyone is extremely kind and friendly. I never have to wait. The staff remember my name and greet me accordingly. They are all professional, courteous and gorgeous.
Everyone was very nice and made me feel comfortable. The only thing I think would be nice to see is the dental treatment being more affordable for patients that earn minimum wage and have no dental insurance.
I felt everyone I talked to was helpful and knowledgeable. I am satisfied so far.
Always a pleasure to visit. Everyone I have ever met @ Dr. Stewart's office are courteous, friendly and professional.
I have already referred my friends, I just wish my front teeth fillings held better, they seemedc detached. and always cutting me.
P A R K I N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Stewart's calm and sincere demeanor take stress out of dental appts.
I have always been very well taken care of at Dr. Stewarts office. Everyone is so nice!
I just love Lan! We connected. I actually have never enjoyed a dentist visit and she made it fun!As far as my financial options, I am being mailed comparison prices for upper partial and/or permanent bridges. My insurance is limited to $1000 so I know I will have to make some payment arrangements.
I feel everyone there goes out of their way to make patients feel comfortable and relaxed. It is always a pleasure especially when I can get Linda to take care of my teeth she is very proffessional and cares about her patients.
There were no problems with my visit to the clinic. Your staff is always exceptional. Lon is very professional in her work and is always asking if I need anything in the way of supplies or if I have any questions. Thanks for everything.
We come here because every item related to dentistry is handled so well, and we feel comfortable with our treatment as well as with our surroundings. Professionalism all the way. Thanks, y'all.
I was supposed to come in for a permanent crown placement, but that didn't go as planned. The crown was set wrong and my bridge wouldn't fit so the permanent had to be removed and another temp put on. I now have to take off work again to come back over to get the new permanent put on, again.
I had some bonding replacements done on Tuesday. Two of them have come off already. I am not sure what to do now. Maybe I should wait and see if anymore come off.
Was very pleased w/the friendship of all I saw/or have seen in the past.
I have never had any complaints with anyone in this dental office.
Very welcoming, attentive, friendly staff.
I was treated respectfully and professionally by all the staff and would recommend your services to family and friends.
Your office staff makes me feel VERY important. They complement the friendly service I feel when I use Dr. Stewart for my dental needs.
Dr Stewart and his entire staff have always been friendly, helpful and just good people. I live over 150 miles from his office, but I do not want to change dentist and dental hygienest.
Lon, as always was great. That doctor Stewart guy was okay too.
Office personnel are always smiling and always pleasant. I have never had a negative experience in your office! Thank you!
Excellent customer relations from front to the back. Dawn is ALWAYS a pleasure and so nice and professional. Linda takes time to explain everything and to make sure that my teeth cleaning is as painless as possible. I appreciate her even though I dread having my teeth cleaned!
Everyone I met was wonderful and made my visit a VERY GOOD day.
All the staff or friendly, knowledgable of their job and very professional. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.
Your new computerized schedule verification system fail to acknowledge my electronic confirmation. It seems that your system and my university phone system conflicted in such away that voided my confirmation response.
The ladies are very easy on the eyes 2.
I have been going to Dr. Stewarts for a very long time and never once have I had any complaints about the service or the business office. I would recommend them to everyone.
I liked the email reminder.

What Should Happen to Sedalia's Kmart Space?
What Should Happen to Sedalia's Kmart Space?
Sedalia's Kmart closed for good early in 2018.
We've been pretty lucky in Sedalia in that a lot of times empty retail spaces get filled. Goody's left, but T.J. Maxx went in. Harbor Freight opened in an existing space. Woods replaced Bing's in the State Fair Shopping Center.
What would you like to see happen to the empty space that Kmart once occupied?The Kmart building is pretty big, so it could accommodate several different types of businesses. It also has garage space from the old automotive department.
I hate that Kmart closed. Not only because it's always terrible when a local business closes up shop and employees lose their jobs, but also because I've been a Kmart shopper for as long as I can remember. When I was really little, it was my favorite place to go. A lot of my toys came from Kmart! I remember always wanting (but not always getting) an ICEE during every shopping trip.
I just hope that the company can survive, and not all Kmart stores will close. There was a report back in May that there was doubt that Sears Holdings, which operates Sears and Kmart, could stay in business. The Kmart and Sears stores both closed in Jefferson City within the last year.


"About 34," was the reply.
"I'm actually 46," says the man happily.
"Nope, I am actually 46." He's starting to feel really good about himself.
While standing at the bus stop he asks an old woman the same question.
As there was no one else around the man thought what the hell and let her slip her hand down his pants.
The old lady replies, "I was behind you in McDonald's".

I hope your new year's celebrations were filled with laughter and rest – getting you ready for another year of projects and adventures!
Last year I offered some ideas for when creative block strikes, as well as some ideas for generating meaningful online content (other than a blog post). I thought I would revisit those ideas, especially for folks interesting in contributing to this blog in the coming year.
Rad Resources: Just like the saying goes, sometimes images speak volumes more than text. There are some beautiful free stock photo sites out there, and even more free and user-friendly design sites. Can you convey some of your information via an infographic or graph? This may free up some space for your to dive deeper into a concept or offer background on a project. Images also help create white space (a good thing!) and a more readable screen.
Hot Tip: For those brave souls, try getting in front of a camera! Vlogs (or video blogs) are a fantastic way to share your knowledge and expertise with readers or followers. Videos don't have to be long and can include visual aids and graphics to make them even more appealing. There are a number of affordable video editing apps – I've used iMovie for personal projects and it could not be easier to use. Videos can be hosted on sites like YouTube or Vimeo and then embedded in blog posts or on websites.
Lesson Learned: Did you (or will you) host a Twitter chat or hashtag campaign? Share your insights without having to revisit every tweet using curating tools like Storify. You can pull together the highlights and evolution of an online conversation, offering you a chance to have a reference point for synthesis and historical perspectives.
Creating engaging content is not all about getting more page views or Likes or Retweets (although that's a part) – it's also about getting out of your comfort zone in order to share your perspective with the world. People learn and absorb information in so many ways. Sometimes reading an evaluation report isn't feasible, but listening to or watching you talk about the project is! Different types of content connect with different types of people.
How have you experimented with different media? Or do you have a goal this year to try something new?


Heavy rain and melting snowpack that flooded Western Oregon last week turned creeks and rivers into broad, brown torrents that might look like bad news for fish. But an Oregon Sea Grant fisheries specialist says his research suggests the opposite.
Guillermo Giannico, a research professor in Oregon State University's Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, has conducted studies showing that fish – especially native species – can find refuge and food in flooded grass-seed fields.
Giannico's research grew out of a project by fellow OSU researcher Stan Gregory to map the historic path of the Willamette River. The Willamette and its many tributaries once were more complex, braided streams. Multiple channels dispersed the impact of flooding, but dams, housing developments and forest transition have since funneled many rivers into single channels that run fast and furious during floods.
Giannico and others wondered how fish adapted to the change. Floods have happened for thousands of years, he said, and fish traditionally escaped high water in the main river stems by moving to off-channel habitat.
Turns out they still do. During seasonal floods, researchers took a look at ditches, low-lying farmland and other spots that are above water most of the year. To their surprise, they found 14 fish species — 11 of them native.
"That's high diversity for this area, more than I would have bet we were going to get," Giannico said.
Giannico noted a couple implications from the findings. Salmon, steelhead and other native fish, he said, are keenly tuned to changes in light and water temperature, and move to sheltering habitat — even if it turns out to be a flooded grass seed field. Invasive fish, often warm-water species, don't get it. They're unable to respond to the clues. As a result, native fish get a temporary break from predation and competition for food.
Oregon Sea Grant's popular "Oregon Coast Quests" are the subject of an article in the October 28, 2011, edition of the weekly newspaper Oregon Coast Today.
Carmel Finley, an instructor in the OSU History Department, is receiving positive attention for her new book published by University of Chicago Press, All the Fish in the Sea – Maximum Sustainable Yield and the Failure of Fisheries Management. One reviewer commented that the book "explodes the myths around MSY" (maximum sustainable yield) — a significant consideration since MSY is at the heart of modern American fisheries management. Another reviewer noted that "fisheries science and management are ripe for study by professional historians" and praised Finley's book.
Check out the October issue of Oregon Coast magazine for a words-and-pictures retrospective of Oregon Sea Grant's first 40 years, headlined on the magazine cover! Available now on newsstands; eventually on their Website.
This short video highlights not only the beauty of the place but the role of the Sitka spruce forests in both Oregon history and environmental understanding.

concern of subsidy sharing mechanism would weigh on upstream companies .
JP Morgan said that the government's policy step makes the entire Indian energy space "uninvestable" in the near term.
MUMBAI: Investors in oil marketing companies have lost Rs 1.39 lakh crore of wealth in the last two days after the government's decision to ask these firms to absorb a portion of the cut in excise duty on fuel prices. The move is perceived as the government backtracking on oil sector reforms, including free pricing of petrol and diesel.
Three oil marketing companies – Hindustan Petroleum, Bharat Petroleum and Indian Oil Corp – extended their losses on Friday, falling between 16 per cent and 25 per cent after several brokerages cut their target prices for shares of these companies by 20-50 per cent. They said OMCs would collectively lose Rs 6,500 crore in FY19 and Rs 13,700 crore in FY20 because of the government's move.
"We expect valuation multiple would go back to pre-de-regulation era as concern of higher subsidy burden would weigh on valuation being an election year," said Sudeep Anand, an analyst at IDBI Capital. "Further, concern of subsidy sharing mechanism would weigh on upstream companies as well which would impact multiples in the near term".
CLSA maintained "sell' on OMCs. "The government's move will bring down the EPS by 23-46 per cent. It also raised fears of return of subsidy regime if crude spikes further before the upcoming elections. ONGC and GAIL may also be impacted, but these already build in risk," CLSA said in a note.
A Rs 1 per litre reduction in marketing margins on auto fuels, will impact FY20 EPS by 9-15 per cent, said analysts.

Q: How to end execution of a block in Ruby? I thought blocks were like anonymous functions.
But when I tried to end the execution of a block using return keyword, I think it triggered a return in the scope in which the block was defined in. Is that how they work?
If so, how can I end the execution of a block, in a way that does not trigger a return in the outer scope?

A: The keyword is next, not break. Break seems to be specific for the each method.

A: To exit a block or loop use the break keyword.
return will exit a method.

Bike Riding Trends Shift During Coronavirus Pandemic
By Jeanine Ramirez Brooklyn
PUBLISHED 8:13 AM ET Mar. 27, 2020
Rick Chou stopped by Mr. C's Cycles in Sunset Park to get his bike ready for the streets.
"I just don't want to move my car because of alternate side of the street parking and stuff. I know it's been suspended but it's tough to find a spot. No one is moving," said cyclist Rick Chou.
But bikes are keeping New Yorkers moving or at least they were at the beginning of the month when the coronavirus first emerged as a threat. A half-million people took trips on Citi Bike in the first eleven days of March, compared to the same period last year. That's a more than 60 percent surge. Meantime, ridership along the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway jumped nearly 140 percent.
"We would expect to see an increase due to the weather of maybe 30, 40 or 50 percent. But we're seeing a surge of traffic of 137 percent for biking related to the coronavirus as people are finding new ways to get around and ways to get outside and get some air and exercise during the coronavirus epidemic," said Terri Carta with the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative.
The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative calculates ridership from a sensor on this light pole along Williamsburg Street. In the last 10 days or so, it has detected a new trend, fewer bike riders, apparently the result of people staying home because of the coronavirus and the shutdown of non-essential businesses. Bike shops, which were are allowed to stay open, are seeing the difference.
"In the beginning the business was picking up because most of the people they tried to avoid the subway and the buses. But now it's getting slow," said Carlos Vital with Mr. C's Cycles shop.
Citi Bike confirms its ridership is down, too. But it is also seeing a new pattern in usage.
Its most popular docking stations are now at hospitals instead of transportation hubs. like Penn Station and Grand Central.
The big medical centers along First Avenue in Manhattan are now the most popular destinations of all. That's welcome news for bike advocates.
"I think that's a great trend because the last thing we want is extra exposure to or from the medical staff. We need to keep those folks moving and we need to keep them safe. So let's not have a tired doctor get on the subway after a long shift," said John Orcutt with Bike NY.
More medical staff members are likely to bike to work in the coming weeks. Mayor de Blasio has announced a free month of Citi Bike membership for the first responders, healthcare and transit workers on the front lines of the pandemic.
