The key to running a successful website is maintenance, and it's not always about having the latest security updates. In order to be successful, it's important to monitor your analytics account and keep an eye on key metrics. Bounce rate is one of those.
The first thing website managers focus on, after the site is built, is traffic. But any webmaster will tell you that traffic alone usually isn't enough to make money. The only time this works is when you're running a very specific type of ad-based site, so we're not even going to get into that for now.
Since most of the online world is concerned with having a lower bounce rate, we're going to look at some of our best improve bounce rate tips.
Still asking, "What does bounce rate mean?" Bounce rate is defined as a percentage of website visitors who exit the website after only viewing one page.
If you haven't already, installing Google analytics, or something comparable, is a must. Without analytics, you're just guessing. By some stroke of luck, it may be working for you, but the chances of experiencing lasting success without working for it are slim to none. You can't figure out how to lower your bounce rate without all of the facts.
Results can almost be seen immediately after the tracking code is installed, but let's not be too hasty. Keep an eye on what users are doing, but don't stress about it. No one can tell you the precise amount of time you should wait before you are able to draw some conclusions from your website data. It will depend on the volume of traffic you're getting. If you only have a visitor or two each day, you may need to wait a month or two before you have enough data to measure. In the meantime, you can work on getting more traffic to your website.
If you're new to online marketing, you may be surprised at your bounce rate. That's probably because you haven't asked, "What is a high bounce rate?" It's probably higher than you think. It's an adjustment for most new site owners to realize that not everyone who visits your site will stick around. The average website bounce rate will vary by industry, so be sure to do some research on your industry's rate before you freak out. You may already be within the range of a typical bounce rate for a website in your industry. But that doesn't mean you can't still improve. Look at where most users are bouncing. Users are landing on one of your website's pages and deciding to move on. Most often this occurs on the homepage, but it could also be a landing page or an interior page. See where people are exiting and focus most of your effort on that page.
You yourself are a website visitor. If you just landed on your site for the first time, what would you think? It can be difficult to answer this question for yourself, so if possible, enlist the help of a few friends who aren't as familiar with your business. It will also help if those friends are within your target demographic.
Once you have given some creative thought to the reasons why people are bouncing instead of converting, it's time to do something about it. Make the changes to your website that better guide your visitors from the point of entry to the conversion point. If you are unsure about which changes to make, you may want to consult an expert. Changes may include adding buttons, changing copy or adjusting the color scheme. Many studies have been done on the behavior of website visitors, so feel free to do some research.
Even if you hire an expert consultant to suggest changes that will improve your bounce rate, you should probably still do some testing. Testing two versions of one web page will help you determine which changes visitors respond to and which turn them off. The perfect web page for you may be a combination of multiple tests.
Take a look at how visitors landed on your website. Was it through a keyword search? Another website? An ad? This will give you some indication of what those people might be expecting and why your website in its current form did not meet their expectations.
It's not enough to know that one thing worked over another. If you want to truly find success, you need to know why things are working or why they are not. Review the results of your testing to see which elements people are responding to. It may be a button a link or a form, but if people are more likely to take action, there's a reason. Figure out what your audience is responding to, whether it is color, copy or placement. These are elements that you won't be likely to change any time soon, and they may also help in other places.
Unless everything is picture perfect after the first round of changes, it's time for another. Armed with the information you've gleaned from split testing, you can create hybrids of your test pages and possibly test some new things that you hadn't thought of before. If you're concerned with your blog bounce rate, maybe you'll test featuring different posts.
At this point, you should be getting closer to a low bounce rate, but the act of reducing bounce rate is an ongoing process. Continue making changes until you feel you have achieved the best possible results and cannot decrease bounce rate further. Just don't stop paying attention to the analytics. What works today may not work in a few months.

The term "probate" means the action of proving. In the case of a last will and testament, in New York probate is the legal process that occurs in the Surrogate's Court during which the original copy of a will is proved or validated. Once a will is probated or proven, the Surrogate's Court judge will issue a decree admitting it probate, and will allow the process of the administration of the estate to begin. However, there instances in which the original will is somehow lost. According to Surrogate's Court Procedure Act § 1422, Record of wills; evidence, the decree issued the Surrogate's Court that a will has been duly admitted to probate can serve as evidence in place of an copy of the original will, that the will was proven. To learn more about how probate works and what to do if the original will is lost or destroyed, contact an experienced New York probate lawyer at the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates.
In the case of an original copy of a will that has been lost or misplaced, under Surrogate's Court Procedure Act § 1422. Record of wills; evidence, a certified copy of the record of the decree from the Surrogate's Court is sufficient proof that the will was admitted to probate.
Administration of an estate begins when the decedent's will is submitted to the Surrogate's Court for probate. This is typically done by the executor named in the will. The named executor will also petition the Surrogate's Court to issue him (or her) Letters Testamentary. Letters testamentary is a decree that is issued by the Surrogate's Court when it formally appoints the executor that is proof that the executor has the legal authority to carry out the administration of the estate. For more information about when an executor would need to produce his Letters, contact an experienced New York probate lawyer.
Gathering estate assets. One of the first jobs of the executor is to identify the assets in the estate. This involves collecting all paperwork related to the decedent's financial affairs, taking possession of personal property, opening a new bank account for the estate and transferring cash from the decedent's accounts, and secure property. The executor should also file claims on behalf of the estate such as veteran's benefits. If the decedent owned a business, the executor must make sure that the business is properly cared for.
Paying estate bills. It is important that the executor understand the value of the estate, as it is his responsibility to use estate assets to pay valid estate debts and expenses. This may include debts owed by the decedent at the time of his death as well as bills and expenses associated with the management of the estate. The executor is also responsible for defending the estate against improper claims, and must not pay invalid claims. The executor must ensure that all tax returns are filed and taxes paid on behalf of the decedent as well as the estate.
Distributing your assets. Ultimately, the executor must distribute the estate assets to the beneficiaries based on the terms of the will.
As an experienced probate attorney in New York will explain, if the decedent passed away intestate, meaning that he died without leaving a valid will, then the estate will be administered by a court appointed estate administrator. Any interested party who is eligible can petition the court to be appointed estate administrator. The estate administrator performs essentially the same duties as an executor would. The main difference is that the estate administrator does not have a will to guide his (or her) actions. Instead of estate assets being distributed to beneficiaries based on the terms of the will, they will be distributed to the decedent's legal heirs based on New York's rules of intestate succession.
A certified copy of the record of the decree admitting a will to probate and of the record of the will so admitted to probate shall be received in evidence in any court in any action or proceeding with the same force and effect as if the original will had been produced and proved in such action or proceeding. The recording of a will in the court shall be evidence that it was duly admitted to probate.
For over twenty years probate attorneys in New York at the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates have represented clients with skill and compassion in matters related to probate, estate administration, and estate litigation before the New York Surrogate's Court. If you are an interested party such as an executor, beneficiary, heir, or fiduciary in a matter related to the requirements of New York SPCA section 1422, Record of wills; evidence, or any other will, estate, or trust matter, contact one of our attorneys at 1-800-NY-NY-LAW (1-800-696-9529) to schedule a free, no obligation consultation regarding your case.

Died Creator of the TV series "the Rich also cry" and "Simply Maria"
The king of soap operas Valentin Pimstein was 91. Valentin pimstein died in Mexico. Renowned producer of over 50 years working in Mexico's biggest "factory of dreams" – Televisa.
In Mexico died Valentin pimstein – man, which in the post-Soviet space is far better known than his name. It is under the authority of Pimstein created such a cult for all women of the former Soviet Union the series as "Simply Maria", "the Rich also cry" and "wild rose". Thanks to the producer, the audience saw and loved Actresses such as Lucia Mendez, Veronica Castro, Angelica Aragon, Edith Gonzalez and Victoria Ruffo.
On the causes of death of the Creator of Mexican soap operas with Jewish roots is not reported. The master film was 91 years old, 50 years old of which he gave the work in Mexican "factory of dreams" – Televisa.
With the direct participation of Valentin Pimstein had issued more than 100 television series, which have been translated into dozens of languages and broadcast in many countries of the world.
Valentin pimstein was known as authoritarian leader: he dressed his characters in the same clothes and hard to discourage any attempts of actors to demand increasing fee or just to make a scene on the set. In such situations, the famous producer just changed them on the other in the middle of filming, the audience was offered the new faces of favorite characters.
It Valetina of Pimstein called the godfather of the television series, the genius of telenovelas, the founder of this genre not only in Mexico but throughout the world. Although the producer claimed that he did not invent anything new.
"I borrowed this idea from honoré de Balzac. His multi-page novels with many storylines and characters were ready the series…
…TV in those years, still in its infancy, and its first serial productions I suggested the most popular Mexican radio station XEW. Do you know why they're called "soap operas"? Because these soap operas advertised soap and other perfumes, the producers acted as sponsors," said pemstein in an interview.
Valentin pimstein was born in the Chilean capital Santiago, in a large Jewish family, who emigrated from Russia after the 1917 revolution. Love for the melodrama he inherited from his mother, who loved radio shows in the genre of soap operas and Mexican cinema.

Great story Paul – Really begs the essential question of what happiness is (that we assume people maximize).
Not too familiar with "happiness" measures – I wonder if "Life satisfaction" may capture more primitive levels of happiness, such as my kids surviving until adulthood, being able to work, not suffering from lifetime ailments, being able to have some leisure time, occasional celebrations, etc., whereas the happiness that is gained from moving up from moderate wealth to greater riches reflects degrees off the life satisfaction scale (e.g., longer vacations, early retirement, better health in retirement, higher quality leisure, more time for friends, etc.).
Why only 100 bucks, I think a $100,000+ wager would have convinced me of your (1) prior convictions, (2) confidence in the conclusions that you thought you could have drawn from the data, and (3) risk seeking nature!
hahahaha. You dont want to put too much money onto these bets. A token amount that buys you enough wine for a party is perfect. Otherwise you would end up with endless debates on which purchasing power parity series to use, whether or not one needs adjustments to happiness, etc. It takes the joy out of such things!
I think you've hit the nail on the head when you suggest that measurement issues mean there's no possibility of "decisive evidence" one way or the other. But I believe this is the very key that unlocks the answer, revealing who won the bet!
Wealth is statistically (and precisely) measurable: happiness isn't. Therefore it's not possible to attempt to directly compare the two concepts; no matter how many (apparently significant) measurements seem to suggest a correlation. Perhaps examining 'health' might provide a more robust relationship – or suicide rates. Both Australia and Japan score pretty well in these fields, too . . .
As you're also aware, income distribution within a given society is also being ignored. I suspect this may also have an affect on perceptions of 'happiness'.
I'd leave you with Lady Di's quote. In an extremely mournful tone she told the interviewer, "Yes, I suppose I'm happy . . . whatever that may be".
I believe that the distinction between happiness and life satisfaction is absolutely critical here – Amartya Sen's 'Development as Freedom' is the essential treatise on this, where essentially happiness is a transitory emotion (which, once basic needs are met, tends to trend as you've illustrated in your first graph), where as satisfaction is more in line with Sen's concept of 'capability functionings' – in layman's terms, the 'capacity for choice', the ability to determine one's own future, with the more control one has the more one is – on average – satisfied.

I saw him some months ago at work, and he looked so tired. So worn and harried I reached out with an email.
You looked so tired. I was thinking of you and hoping you were ok. Wondering about you. This project has been hard on all of us.
There exists over a decade of connection, even if we do not acknowledge it now. Somewhere there is shared memory and laughter. A few skeins of left over wool testify to what once was.
We spun in an orbit called friendship, and then suddenly, with the death of my son, the spinning stopped. It is not that I don't know where we went wrong, I do not know what else I could have done. I lashed out, to be sure. He was simply not there, perhaps not able to be there. I was so lost in the morass of sudden and tragic death, and he, whom I would have called best friend, was unable to find me.
Those odd times when I darken the door of a church, I think of him during the words of the confession – I confess the things done and left undone. I wish that most painful and impotent of wishes, that things could have just been different.
He is moving with his wife and young family. Leaving Canada, leaving everything and going elsewhere. I found out through a friend, and I call that a small mercy. I heard him telling someone else about the move, as I waited for an elevator. It would have almost killed me to find out that way, a chance overheard conversation on my way back from lunch.
And here I am, wondering and wishing. It is hard to believe that they will pack up, sell up, move away, and I will not know. I picked them up from the airport when they arrived, and now I will not know when they leave.
It is, I think, sometimes like when I buy wool that I think will become a sweater. In the knitting it becomes clear that this wool was never destined to be a sweater and instead it becomes a pair of socks and hat, given to different people, a single thing now divided.
Always, when I see one or the other, there remains only within me, the memory of the sweater.

Lovely analogy – so sad though.
I'm sorry. Lost friendships are hard.
So sad when time moves people apart. You've told this beautifully.
I hate that we lose so much more than friends; we seem to lose lifetimes, histories, stories, right along with it.
It is sad to see a lost friendship.
Sorry that your friendship could not be salvaged – maybe it's just that there has not yet been enough time or distance.
Nice post. It's still unfortunate and sad about the transformation of a friendship into nothingness.
Still wish them happiness in the move. It's what she wanted ever since moving here, from away.


. Need to be careful of the "illusion of validity"
"...this means that many managers believe that others might not know how to use an informal interview to select the right candidate......the research evidence shows that informal interviews have very low reliability in selecting candidates most likely to succeed in the job..."
- negative information weighting bias (exaggerating the importance of information that reflects poorly on the candidate)..."
. Interviews have limitations as they are based on fragmented evidence; the interviewers are generally overconfident in their intuition; put too much weight on their personal, first impressions and too little weight on other sources of information.
- they are low in cost compared with other techniques such as tests..."
- disallowing questions by candidates..."
- using a rating system for each question/answer rather than making a broad, overall judgment......the elements that most improved job interview content were the use of job analysis, using the same questions and using better types of questions......behavioral questions can improve the effectiveness of the selection interview by a significant factor..."

Short Subject
Faulkner's Scientific-Poetic Dynamo
When William Faulkner arrived in Stockholm to receive his Nobel prize for literature he supposedly declared his occupation as "farmer." (Inge p. 122) Which raises a question—what kind of farmer describes a road "heavy with sixty days of dust, the roadside undergrowth coated with heat-vulcanised dust … [standing] at perpendicular's absolute in some old dead volcanic water refined to the oxygenless first principle of liquid" (Absalom, Absalom p. 143) ?
A farmer, I guess, who seeds his mind with much reading of literature and modern science and harvests a complex, allusive poetry—in this case informed by engineering, geometry, and paleobiology. The notion of an "oxygenless first principle of liquid" clearly refers to the scientific account of the origin of life, in which all was mineral, dead, and devoid of oxygen until several billion years ago, when the first algae-like organisms commenced photosynthesis, recombining carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen. Though the King James Bible gave Faulkner his title Absalom, Absalom!, he called on the wonder of modern science to re-create the Bible's sense of primeval magic.
For Faulkner, writing meant curiosity into human motives (Inge ed., p. 166). That is, he made a scientific study of human beings. But what is even more unique about Faulkner is that his poetical effects rely surreptitiously on scientific methods and ideas. Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying while working nights as a supervisor in the power plant of the University of Mississippi, the school where he'd ten years earlier done a brief stint at college. He told a newspaper in 1932, "I think the hum of the dynamo helped me." (Inge ed., p. 28) Perhaps it was that "sound of science" that compelled Faulkner's thoughts in a scientific direction.
Throughout As I Lay Dying, Faulkner seems to scrutinize familiar phenomena so minutely that the familiar becomes strange, as though he were looking into the familiar through a quantum microscope at a weird physics that we'd intuited but never fully understood. Inspired perhaps by modern physics, Faulkner re-sees reality and discovers in it new relationships and underlying properties.
Often he describes relativistic perceptual phenomena wherein motion imparts some new quality to a thing, much as motion influences observations according to both Galilean and Einsteinian relativity. Faulkner even words these descriptions a bit like a physicist witnessing some previously unknown influence in the physical universe.
Take this memorable example where Cash saws planks below his mother's bedroom window to make her coffin:
He saws again, his elbow flashing slowly, a thin thread of fire running along the edge of the saw, lost and recovered at the top and bottom of each stroke in unbroken elongation, so that the saw appears to be six feet long…. As I Lay Dying, pp. 75-76.
By superimposing the saw's various positions into one image irrespective of time, the saw elongates in the viewer's imagination. If you've ever done any sawing, you may recognize the weird visual distortion Faulkner describes.
Later, Faulkner establishes the unsettling effect of buzzards by charting the uncanny effect of Galilean relativity on the perception of their motion:
Motionless, the tall buzzards hang in soaring circles, the clouds giving them an illusion of retrograde. p. 95
From Galilean relativity, he proceeds to an observation of a wagon's motion that sounds blatantly Einsteinian in its linkage of time and space:
We go on, with a motion so soporific, so dreamlike as to be uninferant of progress, as though time and not space were decreasing between us and [Jewel's horse]. pp. 107-108
The Bundrens' wagon soon passes a turn-off and the slow movement past the sign and the side road transfers motion to both:
a white signboard with faded lettering: New Hope Church. 3 mi. It wheels up like a motionless hand lifted above the profound desolation of the ocean; beyond it the red road lies like a spoke of which Addie Bundren is the rim. It wheels past, empty, unscarred, the white signboard turns away its fading and tranquil assertion. p. 108
All is still outside the wagon, yet through relativity the moving wagon imparts motion to the motionless signboard so that it turns. The wagon imparts motion to the side-road so that the side-road becomes a turning spoke in a wheel and is said to wheel past. Faulkner's like an experimental physicist researching the relativity and associativity of perceptions.
He observes a similar perceptual relativity in the way that objects derive their shape from their surroundings: "Beyond the unlamped wall," Darl says, "I can hear the rain shaping the wagon that is ours…." (p. 80) Later, Faulkner describes the shape of the wagon according to the air around it, and suggests an influence that absent things exert over the place they previously occupied, a poetic physics: "[I]t begins to rush away from me and slip down the air like a sled upon invisible snow, smoothly evacuating atmosphere in which the sense of it is still shaped." (p. 98)
The two types of Faulknerian relativity—of motion and shape—appear together when Darl and Cash and Jewel try to pilot the wagon across the river. Darl looks at his father, sister, and little brother standing on the riverbank and says:
[it is] as though we had reached the place where the motion of the wasted world accelerates just before the final precipice. Yet they appear dwarfed. It is as though the space between us were time: an irrevocable quality. It is as though time, no longer running straight before us in a diminishing line, now runs parallel between us…. [The mules] too are breathing now with a deep groaning sound; looking back once, their gaze sweeps across us with in their eyes a wild, sad, profound and despairing quality as though they had already seen in the thick water the shape of the disaster which they could not speak and we could not see. pp. 146-147
The doomed mules in the river are indisputably real and somehow emblematic of the human condition. As I think of them, I can hear the humming of Faulkner's dynamo, the scientific-poetic genius apparatus that created them.

Why is it so important to walk my dog?
What is your dog philosophy?
My dog has behavior issues/special needs (aggression, anxiety, fixations, etc.) - can you still walk them?
I would prefer you to walk my dog privately, do you offer this?
Why do other dog walking services make a big deal about the benefits of private walks?
What happens if my dog becomes injured in your care?
Why should I trust Walk Fido to take care of my dog?
Exercise (walking) is the most important part of a dog's health. In the wild, dogs roam for miles every day and that natural instinct to roam is still present in all dogs -- even yours. All dogs have different levels of energy -- but even dogs with the lowest amount of energy need at least an hour of continuous exercise a day, most experts agree.
A tired dog is a well-behaved dog. Through regular walking, many behavior issues can begin to be resolved -- after a long walk, your dog is in a calm state of mind and is more receptive to training and behavior corrections.
Many dog owners feel that a yard or an outside place for their dogs to play is enough. It's not. To your dog, your yard is nothing more than a large kennel. They must be able to travel over a distance at a continuous pace every day to get proper exercise.
Dogs are animals that have their own unique needs separate from humans that must be met to maintain a happy, healthy and balanced life. Walk Fido strives to help address those needs by looking at the examples nature provides, specifically walking dogs in small groups, outside and over a distance, migrating together with us being their pack leader just as they would in the wild. By using this natural, holisitic approach, we are able to help you maintain your dog's health at the highest level. We're not going to spoil your dog or work with them as if they are small children. This just creates more problems and leads to unhappy dogs.
Yes, dogs should enjoy being in the company of other dogs and we specialize in addressing these kinds of problems. The vast majority of behavior issues are related to a lack of brisk daily exercise and ineffective communication between dog and human. We specialize in small, structured group walking, non-verbal communication, and maintaining the correct pack dynamic. Most dogs don't exhibit the same behavior problems you may experience when they are with us.
Dogs are pack animals by nature so if there are concerns with having your dog walking in a group, we'd be happy to help address them. Please contact us with the exact details so we can help resolve this.
Most dog walking services do not have the proper training and experience to do what we do. Professional dog walking isn't something anyone can just decide to do. Dog walking is a skill that needs to be learned just like driving a car, especially in an urban environment like downtown Los Angeles. For every extra dog we walk, it requires more focus and skill to properly maintain the pack and handle distractions. Our walkers go through a two-week training program before they are allowed to walk groups by themselves. We teach basic dog psychology, effective non-verbal communications, specific training to correctly use industry-approved collars (choke, martingale, Gentle Leaders, prong, etc.) and proper urban dog etiquette.
This is a good question and one owers should ask of any service provider. First, we'll immediately assess the situation, get all parties' information, contact you and take your dog for medical treatment if necessary. Accidents are very rare and when they do happen they are usually a result of an interaction between us and an irresponsible third party, not between dogs under our care.
We can take any dog out of their current environment and get them on the right path. The problem is as soon as they return home, their behavior will adjust to whomever is around and whatever rules and pack dynamic is or isn't being reinforced. All relationships boil down to trust and respect. We specialize in helping owners understand this and teach them to train their own dogs one moment at a time.
Downtown LA is a unique environment for dogs and we are well-versed in how to safely navigate the unique situations downtown presents - from elevators and narrow hallways to large public gatherings (think ArtWalk!) and off-leash dogs/strays that approach.
We do a thorough, complimentary introduction session with you and your dog to capture a complete profile so we know exactly what they need.
You will receive regular communication that will track your dog's progress & any important information we learned while visiting with your dog.
Walk Fido staff live and work downtown. We travel to and from most of our dog walking visits on foot or on bike, reducing our carbon footprint. We believe in living where you work and working where you live, to be as eco-friendly as possible.
We pick-up poop with Mutt Mitts -- 100% biodegradable plastic bags that are kind to the earth.
We will treat you, your pets, your home and your property with respect.
We are fully bonded & insured as members of National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS).
Every Walk Fido dog walker has been Red Cross Certified in Canine First Aid.
We all have dogs too - so we know just how important it is to know your dogs are well taken care of while you are working, out of town, or on vacation.
We are available whenever you need us -- including evenings, weekends & holidays. We work seven days a week from 8am - 8pm.
All personal information collected such as email addresses is not shared with third parties and no information is tracked at any time.


Rachel Korberg joined Stonewall's Board of Directors in mid-2018. An outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ community, and a star fundraiser, we are thrilled to have her working with us. Here's a bit more about Rachel - in her own words!
My name is Rachel Korberg, and I go by she/her/hers. I work at the Ford Foundation in NYC where I focus on economic justice, good jobs, and the future of work. I spent the previous five years at The Rockefeller Foundation where I led our LGBTQI+ employee affinity group. I was thrilled to join the Stonewall Board several months ago.
You've worked in philanthropy, recently at Rockefeller Foundation and now at Ford, as well as serving on our Board. What is it about philanthropy that sparks your passion?
I love having the opportunity to support leaders who are truly on the frontlines of social change and economic justice. I'm passionate about opening up philanthropy and making it more accessible, participatory, and transparent. When I was at The Rockefeller Foundation, I created and led an initiative called the Communities Thrive Challenge that was for groups that were typically overlooked by large foundations. It included a peer review process with over 1000 community leaders who recommended the highest impact, most community-driven work to the funders involved. Part of what drew me to the Stonewall Board was the participatory grant-making process that Stonewall uses.
In some ways, philanthropy is a symptom of our broken economic and political systems in the US. But given the reality of what our country is today and how much is at stake, I believe that philanthropy can and must play a crucial role in being an early "investor" in new, groundbreaking ideas for social change, supporting deeper collaboration between social justice leaders and movements, and serving as a defense against rising threats to our diverse communities.
What makes you feel most connected to LGBTQ New York?
Dyke March is one of the moments that I feel most connected to queer NYC every year. My wife, dog (who we carry in backpack!), and I always march with an incredible group of friends. Last year was very special because a young family member of mine came out and joined us for the first time.
What do you look most forward to in the upcoming year?
Meeting my kid! I am 9 months pregnant, and my amazing wife Alexia Korberg and I are expecting our baby to arrive any day.
I am also looking forward to Stonewall's Vision Awards. This will be my fourth year attending, and it's always wonderful to come together to honor NYC's queer leaders and celebrate the diverse, fabulous Stonewall community.


Hi, my name is Nina. I'm 8 years old. I'm in "3rd" grade.
1. Because I don't have to go to school.
2. That I can travel the world.
3. That I can sit on the couch and read a book instead of stare in a math book.
5. And I can play kickball instead of doing homework.
6. I ask questions a lot at home, but in school I'd probably have to raise my hand.
7. I'm thankful I don't have to wake up at 6:00 o'clock in the morning. I sometimes even have trouble waking up at 7:30.
8. I get to make money for Cambodia doing The Dancing Elephant.
And this isn't really a reason, but PLEASE BUY MY MOM'S BOOK! She sold 56 copies on Amazon already. I think we should make it 60 today!
Do you have any questions for me? I love to answer questions!!!
Love that "3rd" grade is in quotes! That was so me for many years.

tests/diagnosis if they aren't sure what is causing your symptoms or look to alternative forms of medicine. But either way you have to take an active role in managing your health - do your research, push for answers, look outside the box. Its not okay to feel tired all the time, you probably aren't crazy, and pills and anti-depressants are not always the cure. Surprisingly, all sorts of problems start with poor digestion but lots of people and doctors don't consider looking there first.
answer. Not for this anyway.
Hi there cuz! I have been trying to comment for weeks but it hasn't been working for me! Maybe today it will! I wanted to tell you that I think your sight is amazing. I would love to sit and chat with you about health because our stories are so the same. I am seeing my natural path next month in wpg and I am going to ask her about the adrenal fatigue. I have never heard of it. We have gone through some big changes here because of my son being gluten and some dairy intolerant and my own issues(anemia/thyroid) Sorry you have been through so much but it is nice to know people are out there who understand. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU for sharing your story! I have learnt so much from you! I will be staying tuned to see what is next.
Sevara - your comment came through - yay! I'm so glad you are finding my ramblings useful - it sure feels good to know its helping someone along the way since I'm sure some people find it weird that I put so much info about my health for the world to see. Its really helping me to learn more and stay committed to making changes and I really do want to help others - because until you have been through it, others don't really understand. If you are in Winnipeg we should meet up for coffee. My email address is mamaeatsclean@shaw.ca if you want to exchange contact info or just email me directly. Take care and hopefully we connect soon. And if you liked the Zucchini loaf try the banana bread - its even better.


Situated in the heart of London's Bayswater conservation area, this traditional mews house has undergone a dramatic transformation. Keen to totally reinvigorate the tired building, the owners engaged Emrys Architects to develop plans for an extensive remodel. As well as boosting the total floor space of the dwelling, creating an abode bathed in natural light was a key goal of the project.

Having lived in Manchester for many years now and having spent any spare time, and nice weather weekends, exploring the Lake District and The Peak District I felt sure I had found, visited, and seen, pretty much every place of note. How wrong was I. Recently whilst preparing for the visit of some friends from London I fired off an email to Geoffrey, one of my visitors, asking where himself and his partner Alan might like to visit, should the weather be favourable.
My suggestion was either to be the Lake District, or The Peak District, both being a comfortable drive from Manchester for a day trip. When Geoff replied saying he would like to visit The Roaches I was slightly confused, initially thinking he had friends he wanted to visit. Inquiring further, he told me it was a place in The Peaks he had visited with his brother some 20 years ago on a bike trip around the UK. Needless to say I was intrigued, and more so, stunned, when we visited. A breath-taking and beautiful piece of landscape steeped in fine history.
On a clear day like this one the views across the countryside to as far as Cheshire and a wondrous sight.
This is also a very popular spot for mountaineering with many climbers using it for training purposes. The British Mountaineering Council also lease the Don Whillans Hut used as accommodation for its climbers.

The Island of Pulau Langkawi is a tropical paradise located some 30 kilometers off the northwest coast of Malaysia. Considered the jewel in the crown of the state of Kedah it is in fact an archipelago of some 104 island in the Andaman Sea, with Pulau Langkawi being the largest inhabited in the Archipelago. Many refer to it as the Hawaii of South East Asia, but to me that title does not do it justice and having visited both I prefer Langkawi for the diversity of it landscape, wildlife and rain-forest. Mainstream tourism tends to concentrate around Pantai Cenang beach area and although this is a good base when visiting the island, being close to all the best eating and drinking establishments, there is so much more to explore and see not far beyond and all within short driving distances. I would recommend if you intend visiting Langkawi that you hire a car for at least some of your stay, if not all, as this will allow you to explore the Island more fully and freely. Driving in Langkawi is also a much easier and safer experience than what you might experience on mainland Malaysia. Being a duty free island expect to find lots of cheap tobacco, booze and chocolates.
Offering a range of accommodation types from the cheapest budget places Langkawi also plays host to some top class and secluded luxury resorts, with the most highly rated probably being the Datai and closely followed by the Danna and the Four Seasons Langkawi. Links to all can be found at the end of this post.
A couple of places not to be missed I would suggest are the Langkawi Wildlife Park, and my favourite Gunung Raya.
Telaga Harbour Marina is also well worth a visit with a nice stretch of usually fairly quiet white sand beach just beyond the harbour area, although it's not great for swimming as the as the base sand is muddy and slimy, I presume from pollution. There is also free parking on the beach edge at this place.

'Another rotten borough': Nigel Farage lashes out after observers warn Labour's by-election win in Peterborough was 'like corrupt Kazakhstan' as police probe five cases of 'malpractice'
People photographing completed ballot papers was like Kazakhstan years ago
The oil-rich country has until recently had only one president since 1991
Labour's victory by just 683 votes in Peterborough was mired in controversy
Nigel Farage said he feared Peterborough could be 'another rotten borough'
By James Tapsfield, Political Editor, For Mailonline

Nigel Farage lashed out today after independent observers warned Labour's Peterborough by-election win was worthy of corrupt ex-Soviet state Kazakhstan.
The Brexit Party leader told MailOnline the constituency looked like 'another rotten borough' after his candidate was narrowly defeated earlier this month.
Election experts Democracy Volunteers have said the sight of people photographing their completed ballot papers was something they had only ever seen in Kazakhstan 'many years ago'.
The oil-rich state has until recently had only one president since it broke with the Soviet Union in 1991, with claims that even last Sunday's election was rigged.
Labour's victory by just 683 votes over the Brexit Party in Peterborough was mired in controversy last week after The Mail on Sunday revealed claims that a convicted vote rigger was at the centre of the party's campaign.
Cambridgeshire Police have since revealed they are investigating five complaints of electoral malpractice, including bribery.

'Get ready for an election!' Boris Johnson puts Tories on a... Veteran Tory Ken Clarke vows to join no confidence vote...
John Ault, director of the organisation, said he had seen people photographing their completed ballot papers in what he suggested could show they were fulfilling a 'contract' to prove how they had voted.
He told The Mail on Sunday: 'I have observed many elections across Europe and only once in Kazakhstan many years ago did I see what I saw happen three times in Peterborough.
'There are signs up warning you not to take photographs and these were not selfies celebrating having voted but people photographing their cross on the ballot paper.'
John Ault, director of the organisation, said he had seen people photographing their completed ballot papers in what he suggested could show they were fulfilling a 'contract' to prove how they had voted
He added: 'One can only speculate as to why some voters feel the need to do this, although this can, in some cases, point to a contract being fulfilled or an inducement having been given.
'It needs to be discouraged and, in the cases I saw, they were either not noticed or not challenged by polling station staff.'
Mr Farage told MailOnline today: 'It's just endless isn't it. There's more and more and more of it.
'I think there is something inherently wrong with the entire postal voting process in this country.
'I think it's open to corruption, bribery intimidation, abuse. We've seen so many cases now where again and again we find - particularly in the inner cities - postal voting is producing the wrong results.
'And I'm afraid Peterborough looks like another one of those rotten boroughs.'
Democracy Volunteers sent a team of four experienced observers to observe 23 of the polling stations used in the by-election. They watched as about 700 of the 27,000 who voted at a polling station cast their vote and witnessed so-called 'family voting' – where more than one person goes into the same voting booth – in half of the stations.
The practice has in the past raised fears that voters were being told by other family members where to put their cross. Mr Ault said: 'To the great credit of the polling staff, this was challenged persistently whenever it occurred. It is everyone's right to vote in private.'
The concerns come after this newspaper revealed Tory claims last week that Tariq Mahmood, a convicted vote rigger, had been involved in Labour's winning campaign.
The oil-rich state has until recently had only one president since it broke with the Soviet Union in 1991, with claims that even last Sunday's election was rigged
He was photographed with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and successful Labour candidate Lisa Forbes last month.
Mr Mahmood admitted that he had canvassed for Labour but denied playing a bigger role.
Labour dismissed the Tory claims as 'false and baseless'. But there were also concerns that almost one in three of the 33,998 ballots cast in the by-election were postal votes.
Wayne Fitzgerald, deputy leader of Peterborough's Tory-run council, said: 'The fact that concerns have been raised about family voting at polling stations shows just why it is important for the postal voting system to be changed. It is all too easy for pressure to be applied to people in the privacy of their homes.'
Three of the five complaints now being investigated by Cambridgeshire Police relate to postal voting.
Last night, a Brexit Party spokesman said: 'All elections must be fair and seen to be fair – otherwise the whole system will be brought into disrepute.'

Birds of a feather somersault, karate kick and bicker together in Eric Darnell and Simon J Smith's misfiring computer-animated spin-off from the Madagascar films.
Frenetic and fast-paced, Penguins Of Madagascar initially sketches the back story of the four plucky Antarctic critters with a beak for adventure through the lens of a documentary film crew keen to observe the flightless birds in their treacherous natural habitat.
The script soon fast-forwards to the conclusion of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and literally blasts the penguins into an outlandish spy caper replete with a menagerie of animal co-stars that should be a merchandiser's dream this Christmas.
The colour-saturated animation is a feast for the eyes and there are a few neat visual gags such as the penguins' novel approach to navigating a zebra crossing undetected.
But the four lead characters, who are boundlessly charming in small doses as sidekicks, grate slightly as heroes of their own half-baked story.
Hopefully the adorable Minions from the Despicable Me series will dodge a similar fate when they graduate to the limelight in a self-titled feature next summer.

Members of Widener University's class of 2020 are settling into their new homes at the school?s campus in Chester, Pa.
CHESTER, Pa. (WPVI) -- Members of Widener University's class of 2020 are settling into their new homes at the school's campus in Chester, Pa.
Action News was there as 600 of this year's 700 freshmen moved into their dorms Tuesday morning.
Lots of precious cargo filtered into the living facilities with the help of student athletes, members of Greek life, student leadership and some administrators.
The idea was to make moving in easy for parents and newbies. But the toughest part may not have been the heavy lifting.
It was bittersweet for the Harrity family of West Norriton, Pa.
"We're very sensitive to the anxiety and excitement over the first few days," said Widener President Julie Wollman. "We also help parents understand how they can be successful."
"I'm feeling nervous," said Mary Kate Maguire Smith of Clifton Heights, Pa. "Probably a little bit of every emotion possible."
Butterflies aside, the president had a message for the incoming class.
"Make the most of your opportunities here," said Wollman. "Take advantage of all of them. You're going to have a fantastic career and life when you graduate."
The freshman moving-in process wrapped up around 1 p.m.
The upperclassmen will move in in a couple of days - without the extra help the freshman got.


There is one (1) vacancy to be filled.
DEADLINE by November 30, 2018 at 5pm.

We have implemented the following technical and organisational measures for data security by design (see Data Security link at bottom of page).
Minimisation (personal information such as name and email is registered) to handle situations where there is no integration with an authentication system and/or an exam enrollment system.
Pseudonymisation (only storing pseudonymised identifiers) to balance privacy concerns with data quality.
Offer a data controller API for downloading staff and learner data for an institution with minimisation or pseudonymisation privacy mode.

ABOUT BRUCE FARRELL ROSEN
An award winning writer as early on as high school, Rosen has written professionally for over three decades and has been featured in such publications as The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner, and Asian Week where he was a reporter. In addition to a stint as a journalist in Chinatown, he has crafted essays on sports, politics, economics, and music. The piece that he wrote on his boyhood idol, Sandy Koufax, appeared in the Baseball Hall of Fame. And, his series of 'slice of life' pieces titled "Diary of a Creative Banker," including one that focused on Princess Diana, aired on the BBC. An investment officer at a major financial firm by day, Bruce F. Rosen is a writer by night.
On the cover of Publishers Weekly, and the international publication Personal Excellence, Bruce shares this latter honor with such great company as Deepak Chopra and Nelson Mandela.

Additionally, Bruce has spoken at the Commonwealth Club, which has featured such speakers as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and The San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy.

His critically acclaimed first book, the memoir If You Ever Need Me, I Won't Be Far Away, is dedicated to his mom, Alma Lorraine Rush. His latest book, Bombed In His Bed, tells the story of Myer Rush, a larger-than-life character who is also Bruce's uncle. The father of two sons, Bruce lives and works in San Francisco.


As soon as LeBron James announced his decision to join the Miami Heat, Cleveland began burning his jersey and slipped into a deep depression. The majority owner of the Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert, felt just as betrayed as LeBron's former fans. So, he got out his laptop and wrote this very spirited letter to Cleveland Cavalier fans (and LeBron). ENJOY!

Oooooooooweeeeeeeeeee that man is salty! He didn't have to go in like that. Smh hopefully this will pass… Now let's all enjoy some futbal!!
