Learning how to cold email (sometimes referred to as "cold call email"), effectively can be a huge boost to your sales process.
Mention the words cold call email to most people and they'll immediately think you're a salesperson. And while that is the primary reason to send messages to people who don't know who you are, it's not the only reason to do it.
Here at LeadFuze, we obviously think that cold email is one of the quickest ways for startups to experience growth. It's also a fantastic way for established small and medium businesses to add revenue to their current marketing system.
But what about all the other uses? Have you ever thought about emailing "leads" for other reasons?
If you're not sure what other reasons there are, that's exactly what this post will be showing you. We'll go over six different uses for cold emails in your business as well as a sample email template for each use.
If you're in B2B sales, networking is a necessary part of your life. Going to events, getting involved in social media, and other forms of public interaction help you to develop relationships that build the business and get more customers.
You can be networking for a number of reasons, too. Joint ventures, leads, integrations, advice, mentorship, you name it.
Cold email can help you network for all of these reasons in at least two ways.
Introduce Yourself: You don't always need an event to say hello. If there are others in your industry that seem to be advantageous (for you and them) — it's ok to reach out. Especially, if you do it the right way.
Follow-Up: Ok, so this isn't exactly "cold". That said, it's not something that is commonly done. If you go to a conference or networking luncheon; it's totally cool to follow up with the people you spoke with. If you met someone cool and beneficial to your efforts — why not reach out via email?
Again, there are a ton of reasons to want to break the ice. This sample is literally just that. The key here is simple. Find something nice to say. Which requires a bit of personalization.
For instance, let's say a local agency may compliment another marketing company's social profile. The other company has a complimentary set of services and cross promotion could be in the future.
Me and the entire [your company name] team have been really enjoying the [company name] Instagram.
You really do an amazing job of capturing the beauty of [local city/town].
We haven't met anyone from your team at [company name] and wanted to break the ice and connect. Not to mention tell you that we love your social game.
P.S. If you'd be interested in taking over our Instagram for a day, just let me know.
Recruiting is a big business. Dow Jones is skyrocketing and hiring signs are everywhere.
If you're not actively seeking out the best candidates, you're likely not going to get the best talent at your company. The best people for the jobs you need to fill probably are already working for someone else, but looking for the next opportunity (most of the time passively).
The two best ways to get in touch are email and LinkedIn.
Further Reading: If you're really interested in recruiting, here's a fantastic guide from Recruitee.
From the looks of it, you're a talented and hardworking individual who happens to have a ton of experience with [coding language].
[company name/recruiting company name] has taken a look at some of the projects you've done and really want to speak with you about potential employment.
I'd love to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. You can reply to this email, give me a call, or schedule a time for coffee.
P.S. If you'd rather I not contact you again, just let me know. Or, if you're happy with your current position but know someone as qualified as you are that may be looking—feel free to forward them my info.
Bonus Resource: 37 more recruiting cold email templates from Beamery.
One of the best ways of getting your products and services in front of a large, targeted audience is via influencer marketing.
If you can manage to woo the ear of someone with a platform, you can reap the benefits through promotional mentions on some of the biggest blogs, podcasts, and social media accounts. It's been going on since before the internet.
Small companies would send their merch to stars in Hollywood in hopes that they'd be caught out in public with it on them. Or even that the famous person would mention it during an interview.
Now we see internet sensations getting similar treatment for one reason. It's incredibly effective.
If you follow Casey Neistat or Tim Ferris, you'll notice that they love small businesses and will often "review" or mention the products that they like.
BTW: If you're interested in Influencer Outreach or building up your own platform, Tomoson is a fantastic resource. Here's a link to their blog.
Just like lead generation, it's easier to get an email address than a phone number. And, if your email stands out — you may just get a shot. You don't have to reach out to those with millions of subscribers, but you will have to put some thought into who would be the best choice.
Your recent post, [insert post here], really struck a cord with me. I used it as a spring board to [insert your action here].
The results have been awesome. [insert results here].
I know you're busy and won't take up much of your time. I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that your advice works and I love your content.
P.S. If you'd like to use anything from this email as a testimonial or get more from me, just let me know. I can provide a longer version, write a guest post about it, or even hop on a call. Thanks again!
Disclaimer: Obviously, you'll have to try the tips put forth in the blog post, or whatever resource you decide. The point is, don't just say, "You have cool stuff." Show them why you love them and what you've done about it.
If you've followed the LeadFuze blog for any amount of time, you know we rarely suggest sending a straight sales email. Instead, you should send an offer or resource of some sort.
An invitation to something is one of the easiest intros to get.
If you're having a webinar, doing a podcast that needs fresh guests, or are holding a networking event in your city — cold email can build a relationship and get people to whatever you're putting on.
For this one, I actually wrote an entire post on the subject. In it, there is a 4-email sequence to help you squeeze the most webinar attendees out of a list. It is written specifically for webinars, but you could easily augment it for just about any event you're holding.
If you don't want to click over, I'll copy and paste the first email below.
I'd love to have you attend one of our upcoming webinars where we show what some of your competitors like [Competitor] are doing to grow.
I thought you'd be a great fit since you're in the industry we'll be reviewing.
It's free, but we only have so many slots. You can register for it here.
P.S. Not the person to talk to? Let me know! Don't want me to follow-up with you? You can let me know about that too!
Inbound marketing is still alive and well. But can be neglected by startups. You're trying to get your product established and get to the first funding round, testing growth channels, and tweaking funnels. Makes sense.
But setting yourself up for steady organic traffic and the ability to rank relevant keywords isn't a bad idea. The biggest problem is the amount of work. There are portions of this process that can be automated, but it's still fairly hands-on.
In fact, most companies have a team of two or more link builders according to one survey (screenshot and source link below).
Perhaps the most involved reason for cold email, but also the one with the most long-term benefits. There are a couple of methods.
Write an amazing piece of content. Like a go-to resource that your target audience would love to have in their Evernote or Pocket.
Search for relevant blogs, who are always looking for good content to share with their audiences via links in their posts.
Put their info in a spreadsheet or use a tool like LeadFuze to find them.
Find content on the blogs that could easily link to your post.
Send email complimenting the blog, and humbly ask for the link.
Read through their posts, finding any bad links (404 errors and such).
Write a quality post (or find one you already have) similar to the subject and context of the broken link.
Email the blog to humbly let them know they have a broken link and that you have a post that they may want to link to for their audience.
I was reading your post [insert post title here], and found that a link wasn't working. It was [insert location or screenshot of broken link].
If you're interested, I have a [resource/blog/etc.], that I created for [insert your company/blog] that could work. Here's a link to it for your review. We put a lot of work into our resources and would love for it to benefit your audience.
Bonus Resource: Here is a post with 8 more examples of link-building emails.
We mentioned that lead gen is the most common form of email outreach. And four of the five methods we just went over could help you generate or nurture more leads.
Network with leads via email.
An influencer could also be a customer.
Get podcast guests and webinar attendees that can also be customers.
Link swap and start a conversation that could lead to a sale.
Further Reading: For a deep dive into cold email for sales, you can check out a couple of our posts here and here.
Ready to Send Cold Call Emails?
Maybe you haven't heard of some of these methods. Or you have, but didn't put it with the thought of "cold email". Either way, I hope that you have found an idea or two that can help your business grow via sending emails to people in other organizations.
Any cold call email reasons we missed? Let me know in the comments!

24: The Game
Chris Dahlen
The television show 24 is so close to being a video game already, what with its crazy plot twists and constant march from one goal to the next, that it seems like the PlayStation version should be, in the words of Jack Bauer's one-time top boss, a "slam dunk." Penned by actual 24 staff writer Duppy Demetrius, the story fills in the gaps between seasons two and three, and it moves as frantically as the show: You switch between several characters, all voiced by the real actors, and the missions—which are varied and brisk—feel like they're embedded into the cutscenes, rather than the other way around.
But the story can't save the clumsy, half-baked action, from the generic third-person shooter missions to pointless driving sequences where your enemies crash into you like kids in bumper cars. You'll also solve trivial "decoding" exercises, which include simple mazes and word scrambles reminiscent of those old activity books where you helped Superman beat Lex Luthor by finishing a crossword puzzle. But worst of all, the game is missing the show's most crucial element: the incessantly ticking clock. While a timer sometimes kicks in near the end of a mission, the game usually lets you dawdle or finesse your aim instead of forcing you to rush, cut corners, and make (interesting) mistakes. Would the "real" Jack Bauer worry about nailing every headshot when he's busy trying to save the world?
Beyond the game: The "Interrogation" mini-game is an intriguing piece of interactive drama that lets you steer Jack through questioning a suspect. Sadly, you can't shoot said suspect in the leg or murder his family to get him talking.
Worth playing for: The few moments where the time pressure and the gameplay sync up—like the sniper exercise, where you have to focus on picking off the bad guys while a disaster occurs below.
Frustration sets in when: The action fails in many ways—from stupid henchmen to allies who stroll in front of your bullets to a looonnnng stealth mission in a heating vent—but the single biggest problem is the camera, which bounces as erratically as an Elisha Cuthbert bobblehead.
Final judgment: For once, you'll wish you could skip the action to get to the cutscenes.

The 45th Indian Infantry Brigade was an Infantry formation of the Indian Army during World War II. The brigade was formed in June 1941, at Ahmednagar in India and assigned to the 17th Indian Infantry Division. It was transferred to Malaya Command in January 1942 where it was virtually destroyed in the Battle of Muar. What was left of the brigade was briefly under command of the Australian 8th Division in February 1942, during the Battle of Singapore and surrendered to the Japanese with the rest of the garrison on 15 February.

Q: Can't install drivers for Windows XP. Program too big to fit in memory SOLUTION: Download the driver on other computer. Rename it from .EXE to .zip extension. Copy over the driver via USB to the Dell. Run the setup.exe inside the archive.
Installed fresh Windows XP on Dell workstation. Downloaded drivers for a specific service tag using another computer onto a USB. Plug the USB into the Dell and can't execute any of the drivers. When I click on the drivers a cmd window blinks really fast but nothing happens.
What is the problem? I downloaded drivers for appropriate Windows version for the Dell computer. There was only one option for drivers filtering: "Windows XP"
What driver executables look like on Dell:

EDIT: Copying the driver executables off USB to the computer didn't fix the problem.
EDIT2: The downloaded drivers are NOT corrupted. They execute on the other machine. I ran the driver on Dell via cmd and got the following message: "Program is too big to fit in memory"

A: Try to open your cmd and execute the mentioned driver file , you should be able to see the error.

A strong earthquake shook Tokyo early Saturday morning, knocking books from shelves, but authorities said there was no risk of a tsunami.
The magnitude-5.2 earthquake was 57 kilometers (35 miles) deep and was centered in Tokyo Bay, near Haneda Airport, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. It struck at 5:49 a.m.
Subway and train service was briefly interrupted for safety checks.
The agency warned that the quake could cause landslides following recent heavy rains.


According to the "Phish and ships" report, by insurance company Novae (based in the UK), says that digitalization could also represent a threat or the shipping industry, but this issue is overlooked by the sector.
"Digitalisation of the shipping industry means that ships are potentially exposed to a range of threats – such as unauthorized interference to electronic navigation devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), and attacks on shipboard systems – and as most vessels lack the backup systems or redundancy these are a major cause for concern. The stakes are high – with people, pollution, vessels and cargo all at risk".
As shipping is joining the digitalization trends to stay updated with other industries and operate more efficiently, the companies often forget to take care of the security measures to prevent hackers from accessing important information.
How vulnerable is a vessel to a cyber attack?
A Cytegic article said that researchers at Micro Trend Security firm reported major security breaches in the Automatic Identification System (AIS) of vessels. This system is used by all passenger and commercial vessels over 300 metric tons.
The researchers managed to break into the system and access data in real time. Another research reported by the University of Texas used GPS equipment that cost only US$3,000 to take control of the navigation system of a large ship in the Mediterranean.
These studies showed that hackers don't need expensive equipment or impressive capabilities to carry a cyber-attack.
"One of the major problems is attitude, rather than technology. Owners and operators seem to feel their ships and cargo are not of interest for 'hackers' –something which is incredibly dangerous. This attitude problem is actually linked to understanding and a lack of awareness," says Novae.
Hacker could get interested in shipping companies to obtain financial information and personal data from customers. According to the document, there is a need for a change of attitude in the industry to find a solution to this problem.


This is our van. In the house. J and K took turns driving. I sat in the back and asked to watch a video. I probably should have asked them to hand me things and provide snacks. Maybe next time.
Two thirds of a lady bug costume.
The last day of school was today! Days of having very little scheduled and sending the kids outside to play have officially begun.
This is the last summer before my daughter starts school. My heart hurts to think about it. She practiced her lower case letters today to get ready for kindergarten. She is sooooo excited!
You may have figured this out already, but legos are pretty popular around here!
Coming to a theater near you: Spiderman goes to the Wild West to save Santa Claus.
Another one of our favorite things lately is I Spy books. So in honor of those: I spy a wheelbarrow, two pots, and a soccer player trying to kick to the right spot.
One of the favorite games around here is Creationary by Lego. This was my daughter's version of a person snow skiing. In the box on the left side is a robot of my son's.
Artwork by my daughter. She told me she was attempting to draw a grocery cart on the left side, but couldn't. On the right side is a monkey, which I love (notice the curly tail). I have no idea why they were on the same page though. Maybe she was hoping we could take a monkey grocery shopping?
This explains why rocket scientists generally do not work with their little brothers.
It's probably obvious, but this is my daughter's rocket ship. It has buttons along the sides and top. It also has two 'stop' buttons inside, which I think is darn good planning for a rocket. I'm glad some of my always-be-prepared genes have been handed down!
There's nothing like water and dirt to draw children. I think it's an even stronger magnet than candy.
K and a friend were building the set for a puppet show. They weren't able to finish it due to time constraints, but I look forward to seeing it in the future. The story line involved two beloved bugs, a castle, and a princess. Look for it on Broadway someday.
I was informed this poor Lalaloopsy has an injured back. Here she is waiting in an ambulance. I'm impressed she's able to have a smile on her face despite her circumstances.
Another school year is almost over…just over a week left!

Global Aging: A Little Look Around the World
Just out of curiosity, I recently sat down to do some research about how the world population is aging. I was interested in how other areas of the world are aging. Are the factors driving the aging population growth in the U.S. true in other countries as well? Here is a little bit of what I found.
There are excellent resources through the United Nations Population Division. As recently as late 2014, they published updated statistics that tell the global aging story. It was all very interesting.
For instance, during the years 2005 – 2010, the rate of death of persons 65 years and older was 50% per 100 total deaths. This was a significant change from the period 1950 – 1955. During that five year period, the rate of death among persons 65 and older was 22% per 100 deaths (all ages).
On first glance these numbers might seem incorrect, but there is a logical explanation. The increase in older age deaths was due to the reduction of child-age deaths, which had a worldwide reduction of 26%. There were some exceptions though – the least developed countries, where the percentage of mid-age deaths increased from 34% in 1950 – 1955, to 40% in 2005 – 2010.
The percentage of old-age deaths differs considerably from the countries with the highest percentage, to those with the lowest percentage: The three highest were Italy (86%), Sweden (86%) and Greece (85%). The three lowest were the Democratic Republic of the Congo (13%), Chad (12%), and Angola (11%). This again would be explained by longevity in the population in countries like Italy, Sweden and Greece.
Globally, the percentage of the population aged 60 years or over increased from 8.6% in 1980 to 12% in 2014. This group is projected to continue to rise, reaching 21% in 2050.

This study research explores the problem with the disproportionality of African American and Latino males who are in the criminal justice system. The study also explores the relationship between the educational system and the penal system, which have been associated for decades in the United States; this is known as the school-to-prison pipeline. In addition, this study compares and contrasts the punitive and restorative justice systems utilized in schools along with their effects on the school-to-prison pipeline. The research consists of interviewing seven professionals from different institutions that are practicing restorative justice as a different approach to discipline. The concepts that were discovered from the interviews include the terms of common core, social emotional learning, school police officers, civil rights, school climate, juvenile justice system, restorative indigenous history, punitive methods, restorative justice implementation, and restorative justice results. Furthermore, the themes that emerged from the interviews included: Education, School-to-prison pipeline, and Restorative Justice. Through the process, the researchers critically analyzed race and ethnicity in relation to the school-to-prison pipeline. Implications for social work practice and curriculum policies are also discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Nylund, David.


WHAT ARE PAVE OR BEAD SETTINGS?
I love pave set diamonds!
Pave set (also called bead set) diamonds have changed the face of jewelry today.
Pave settings are what turned white gold on its head 20 years ago.
It used to be that white gold wedding sets were a thing of the past. They were old looking and antique and just didn't cut it. They looked liked your grandmother's mother's engagement ring.
Old, worn, out of style.
When jewelry stores started carrying these cool, new pave set designs, the industry went hog wild.
Pave added a whole new dimension to wedding sets and bridal rings. They were now different, fresh and beautiful. White gold pave sets (like these pave mountings here) became all the rage. Everyone had to have one… And still do.
Quite simply, pave is a setting that holds small diamonds almost flush in the mounting by little beads (drops or dollops) of gold or metal (little baby prongs).
Pave is actually french meaning "paved". And that's because rows of pave-set diamonds often give the appearance of cobblestone roads.
They are like one big blur of diamond.
If you run your fingers over pave set diamonds they should feel like smooth little nubs. They shouldn't feel rough or stick up too high. Smooth and rounded beads that don't get caught or snagged are perfect.
Pave settings are usually pretty safe and protected as well. I doubt you'd ever have to fix them or repair them. They're pretty simplistic. The beads sit low so they don't wear down as much. You won't be bumping them or hitting them. You won't be knocking the diamonds loose… They really seem like a winner.
And they really liven up any mounting. They look great in white gold (my favorite), and they give any jewelry that clean, crisp, classy feeling. Nothing gaudy or distracting.
So now that I've made them sound so awesome, are there any downfalls to pave setting?
Sometimes the edges of the diamonds chip.
Since jewelers have to push the Beads down on top of the diamond's edge, sometimes the diamond can't take the force and breaks.
Plus, if they are setting the diamonds too close together and they happen to overlap… That could also cause them to crack.
Take a closer look at the mountings, beads and stones set (use a microscope or a 10x jeweler's loupe). You want to make sure that the beads are actually covering the edges of the diamonds (holding the diamonds in – You'd be surprised how many pave set beads aren't doing their job).
Make sure the diamonds aren't set crooked or on an angle (this happens sometimes when a corner of the diamond is pushed down too far), and check that the edges of the diamonds aren't cracked or broken.
Pave is the best on the market.
To me, pave settings are the best looking mounting on the market.
They are stylish, hip, young, fancy and elegant.
They tend to look like a million bucks!

An alternative title is a media sales device most prominently used in film distribution. Books and films are commonly released under a different title when they are screened or sold in a different country. This can vary from small change to the title, such as the addition of The, to wholesale changes.  Film titles are also often changed when they are released on DVD or VHS.

Reasons
The reasons for this are varied, but usually point towards marketable, linguistic or cultural differences. Some titles may not be easily understood in other parts of the world, and may even be considered offensive. Most title changes are commercial. An example is Italian director's Sergio Leone's 1971 film Duck, You Sucker!, initially released with this title as he was convinced it was a well-known English saying. When the film performed poorly, it was subsequently rebranded as A Fistful of Dynamite, similar in name to his 1964 film A Fistful of Dollars, part of the successful Dollars Trilogy.

When Scholastic Corporation bought the U.S. rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, they thought that a child would not want to read a book with the word "philosopher" in the title and, after some discussion, the American edition was published in September 1998 under the title author J. K. Rowling suggested, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Rowling claimed that she regretted this change and would have fought it if she had been in a stronger position at the time. Academic Philip Nel, who specialises in children's literature, has pointed out that the change lost the connection with alchemy.

Q: $http.get returning an old query after doing $http.post, what am i doing wrong? I'm a newbee in angular, currenty I'm working in a website that saves the score of players in a postgres database, before inserting in the table "Puntaje" I have to save the id of the game and the id of the player into another table, my code actually does that, but when I try to retrieve the last inserted ID in such table, it returns a query as if it didn't insert the key, although in the database it shows that it was inserted, here is the code:
angular.module('clienteJuegoApp').controller('Juego1Ctrl', function ($scope, $http){
$scope.juego = "Survive";
$scope.add = function(){

    //First part, saves the gameID and the Player ID into the 1st table
    console.log($http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/jugador').then(function(response) {
    console.log($scope.d = response.data);
    console.log("long"+$scope.d.length);
    console.log("idjugaor"+$scope.d[$scope.d.length-1].Id);
    var datosJuegoJugador={
      idjuego: {Id:1},
      idjugaor:{Id:$scope.d[$scope.d.length-1].Id}
    };
    $http.post("http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/juegojugador", datosJuegoJugador);
    console.log("se inserto");

    //Second part, retrieve the last inserted Id of the previous table

    console.log($http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/juegojugador').then(function(response2) {
    console.log($scope.dj = response2.data)
    console.log("idjuegojugador:"+$scope.dj[$scope.dj.length-1].Id)

    var data = {
        Idjuegojugador: {Id: $scope.dj[$scope.dj.length-1].Id},
        Puntaje: parseInt($("input:text[name=puntaje]").val())

    }))
}))}

Why does it happen? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

A: $http.post and $http.get are asynchronous. You need to call get after post is finished. Use then after post and inside callback call get.

A: As you are making multiple asynchronous requests which are depending on the result of each other you need to make sure that each and every request is completed before moving on to the next one.
To do this you can use the promise that $http returns and add the depending calls in the then callback function as this
angular.module('clienteJuegoApp').controller('Juego1Ctrl', function ($scope, $http){
    $scope.juego = "Survive";
    $scope.add = function(){

        $http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/jugador')
            .then(function(response) {
                $scope.d = response.data);
                var datosJuegoJugador={
                  idjuego: {Id:1},
                  idjugaor:{Id:$scope.d[$scope.d.length-1].Id}
                };

                $http.post("http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/juegojugador", datosJuegoJugador).then(function(response2) {

                    $http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/juegojugador').then(function(response3) {
                        $scope.dj = response3.data
                        var data = {
                            Idjuegojugador: {Id: $scope.dj[$scope.dj.length-1].Id},
                            Puntaje: parseInt($("input:text[name=puntaje]").val())
                        };
                        $http.post("http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/puntaje", data);
                    });
                });
        });
    });

GBPINR trading range for the day is 90.4-91.16.
GBP remained supported after the European Union agreed to push back the U.K.'s departure date as far as Oct. 31.
A delay of up to six months to Brexit left traders scratching their heads about the direction for the British currency, with few expecting wild price swings in the months ahead.
BoE's Carney says extension for Brexit has lowered risk, but markets still not prepared for no deal Brexit, which would cause significant repricing in markets.

McHenry County to allow news media to photograph, video record court proceedings starting Jan. 1
By KATIE SMITHEmailFollow
Kristen Zambo - kzambo@shawmedia.com
Cameras will be allowed in McHenry County courtrooms, in select circumstances, by members of established media outlets beginning on Jan. 1, 2020. Media-operated cameras and video cameras currently are not allowed in the McHenry County Courthouse, pictured here on Monday, Dec. 9, 2019.
Starting Jan. 1, news outlets will be allowed to photograph and record McHenry County court proceedings with a judge's approval.
The Illinois Supreme Court has approved the 22nd Judicial Circuit and Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to allow extended media coverage at the the Michael J. Sullivan Judicial Center, 2200 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock. McHenry County's court becomes the 20th of the state's 24 circuit courts to have an extended media coverage agreement, according to a news release. The allowance of cameras in Illinois courtrooms was approved by the Illinois Supreme Court on February 22, 2016.
Under the new rule, journalists can request to bring cameras into McHenry County courtrooms for still photography and video recording with permission from the presiding judge.
Limitations to extended media coverage are afforded to juvenile, divorce, adoption, child custody, visitation and family law cases, which cannot be photographed or video recorded.
Cameras also will be barred from criminal and civil pretrial hearings regarding suppression or admission of evidence, specialty criminal courts or "trade secret issues," according to the release.
Members of the news media may not photograph or record jurors while they are serving or without their consent. Journalists also cannot photograph or record victims testifying about sexual abuse without their permission. A hearing will take place if a party to the case raises an objection to the requested extended media coverage.
Members of the news media selected Northwest Herald News Editor Kristen Zambo to act as the media coordinator and must file requests for coverage at least 14 days in advance of the court proceeding. Zambo will collaborate with Trial Court Administrator James "Dan" Wallis, who will serve as court media liaison.

In addition to Macs in Moscow, there are Macs in England. Apple has one of their flagship stores on Oxford Street, reputed to be the busiest shopping street in the world, in a building owned by the Queen. A week before Christmas 2007, it was packed with shoppers. This hand-held photo of the store was taken from across the street; the store was too crowded for photos on the inside. Photo by Lawrence I. Charters, taken with a Sony Alpha-700 digital camera.
Apple also has "Premium Resellers" throughout the country. Chester, near northern Wales, is a walled city, with much of the city wall built by the Romans. This Apple Premium Reseller is located in a 400 year old building, a nice mixture of the old and the new. Photo by Lawrence I. Charters, taken with a Sony Alpha-700 digital camera.

A few days ago, I was going about my day feeling a little off. For some reason, I was feeling some anxiety and stress, and a sense of dread washing over me. It was strange because I didn't have any significant issue looming over me. I didn't have any personal relationship issues plaguing me, I didn't have any hard deadlines for work, I didn't really have anything that would generally bog me down like this.
As I continued wondering why I was feeling like something was dragging me down, I tried to keep on with my day, working on all the small tasks that I had on my mind. That's what it hit me: it wasn't one thing, it was a lot of little things. On that particular day, I had a to-do list with a lot of small tasks that I needed to handle in the next few days. On top of that, I also had a few small tasks that weren't urgent, but I still wanted to tackle during the next few days.
These tasks, on an individual level, were not a big deal. They were small tasks - like responding to an email or buying flight tickets for an upcoming trip - that I could do in less than 10 minutes once I sat down and decided to do it. But they accumulated to the point that it was apparently having an effect on me mentally. I didn't realize that I had so many tiny things to do, and that's where this is dangerous because it can creep up on you and drag you down before you know it.
It reminded about the ancient form of Chinese torture labeled as death by a thousand cuts. This form of torture would have someone being sliced with a knife in deliberate small cuts, to the point of perishing. Of course, my issues were in no way near that amount of torture, but I had been reminded of it because a thousand tasks were causing a bit of "death," at least from a mental perspective.
When I realized what was going on, I was able to take a few actions to help me get the weight off my mind. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, you can use some of these tactics to get you in a better spot.
The very first thing I did was to sit down with a notebook and a blank page, and began writing down all the things that were on my mind with no structure and no limitations holding me back. I didn't think that I would have much to write about, but 15 minutes later and one fully-written page, I had an extensive list staring me in the face. I was surprised at how much I wrote down, including some things that weren't actively in my mind that I almost completely had forgotten about.
You may not realize how many things you're juggling at any given time, and it can subconsciously be causing you to feel like something isn't right. The way our brains typically work is that we only have a finite amount of attention to give. You'll have the most important things for you front and center of your mind, but that will bury everything else. You might not notice all the things you have to deal with, but they'll be there, taking your mental energy away. The first step towards fixing the issue is being clear, and dumping everything out of your head will get you the clarity you need to move forward.
By writing down everything that's on your mind, you free your brain from holding on to the excess that you need to work on but won't get to any time soon. It provides almost immediate relief. More importantly, it also gives you a sense of the number of things you have to deal with, so you can focus on the essential stuff and deal with the rest separately.
We often misjudge what really needs to be done, and what can be pushed away as useless or busy work. When you have your brain dump available, you have an easy way to label what you really need to be spending time on and what you can do later, delegate to someone else, or discard altogether. Be ruthless with this process - don't keep tasks hanging around for any reason. It's easy to justify keeping something around because you think it may be important. But if it's not something that you need to do quickly enough, get it off your hands.
Once you have your list of things that were on your mind in front of you, use this opportunity to group them into categories or buckets that you can work on simultaneously. For example, if you have to send multiple emails to different people, lump them into one block so that you can tackle all of the related tasks in one go. Doing that will help you avoid context switching between different types of work and let you finish everything quicker.
By grouping similar items together, you can have a better understanding of where your time is going. Often, we tend to think about things in order of perceived importance, keeping everything separate from each other. When this happens, we lose sight of what's really taking our time away. If you can see what's taking the bulk of your time - for example, you notice work-related tasks account for over 75% of the things on your mind - you can begin to take steps to fix what's taking up your day.
Any time you have a list of things to do, the best tactic you can employ is to find the hardest thing on your list and take on that first. By "hardest," that can mean the stuff you know will take the most time to complete or the one that you're merely dreading the most. Brian Tracy popularized this method in his book Eat That Frog, one of the most well-known books on productivity.
The reason behind doing this is simple - once you get the most difficult thing gone, the rest of your work will be significantly easier to complete. You'll be less stressed to take on what's left, and you'll become more effective with managing your time. The momentum you build will carry on throughout your day. It also has the bonus of building discipline and focus over time. The more you take on the hard stuff before anything else, the more you'll get done over time.
One of the main reasons to spend time in the beginning writing down a list of the things you need to do is to get you focusing on one thing at a time. Like when I was feeling stressed and anxious because I had many things in my head at once, trying to do multiple things at once will just cause unnecessary pressure on yourself. The simple solution to this is to focus on doing one thing at a time strictly - no more.
We're not wired to juggle multiple things at once. You can do more by taking on less at a time. It'll reduce the amount of tension you can feel by trying to handle a lot. You'll avoid simple mistakes that you'll have to deal with later on and do more work for you. Even if you have a to-do list that's a mile long and are feeling burdened to do as much as you can, resist the urge to take on more than one thing at a time.
There's a good chance that the reason why you have so many things to deal with is that you find it difficult to say no to anything that's thrown your way. It's usually how we all end up with so much work that we feel like we're drowning and can't get out. If that's the case, you need to be very careful about agreeing to do more while you still are carrying too much on your shoulders.
If you pile on more tasks while you still have plenty of things going on, it can easily discourage you into thinking that you'll never finish and slow your momentum down completely. So be very careful about any extra work that's thrown your way. It might not be possible to reject everything that someone asks of you but limit as much as you can to give yourself a chance to finish what you already have.
The key here is that holding on to a lot of small things carry a lot of pressure when it's piled on. Often, we don't realize how much weight is piled on until we're feeling stressed. If you can continuously keep track of the things you need to do, you can avoid having an accumulation of work that can push you down and keep you from doing more with your life.
Be proactive and keep your life in check by protecting your time with less small issues to deal with. With a clear head, free of stress and anxiety, you'll be free to pursue bigger things for your own life. Don't let the minor things in daily life be a burden that's preventing you from achieving your big goals and desires in life.
If you're feeling stressed, don't let small tasks strain your daily life. Taking some small steps will allow you to free yourself up to do the things you're meant to do.
Write down every little thing that you have to do on paper. Spend all the time you need emptying your brain so you can lay down what you need to do. Often, you'll have more things than you expect, which can worry you. But it's necessary to see what you have so that you can take the best plan of action.
Defer, delegate, or discard everything that isn't necessary to do now. When you have a list of things to do, be strict in deciding what's really important for you to focus on, and get rid of the rest. Discard what's really not needed. For the rest, figure out if you need to handle it yourself, and if not give it to someone else. Don't hang on to things you don't need to do.
Don't add more until you finish. One common mistake that people make is taking on more work before their existing work is done. Not only will you always have things to work on, but you can also start to feel disheartened since you think that you'll never have a chance to breathe freely. Block any new things thrown your way or try to limit what you can so you can spend more time on the things you want to do.

Meet the Computer Geek Who Took on Ken Cuccinelli—and Won
Michael Mann didn't come to politics. Politics came to him.
Climate scientist Michael Mann speaks alongside Terry McAuliffe at a campaign event in Virginia.McAuliffe campaign
For climate researcher Michael Mann, the last few weeks have hardly been average ones in the life of a scientist and university professor.
On October 30, Mann introduced Bill Clinton at a campaign rally for Terry McAuliffe in Charlottesville, Virginia. A few days later, he listened as President Obama, also campaigning for McAuliffe in Virginia, brought up Mann's high-profile struggles with McAuliffe's gubernatorial opponent, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
Not exactly average—but then, as MSNBC's Chris Hayes put it when interviewing Mann back in August, "You didn't come to politics, politics came to you." The story of how Mann, a self-described math and computer nerd working in an esoteric field known as paleoclimatology, wound up front and center in a nationally watched political campaign is told on the latest episode of the Inquiring Minds podcast:
As Mann explains on the show, "The last thing I ever wanted to do was to get involved in politics, to me that was anathema." But "because of the situation I found myself in," Mann continues, "I ultimately did grow to embrace the role that I can have in informing this debate that we're having about potentially the most significant challenge that human civilization has faced."
The "hockey stick" as depicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2001. IPCC Third Assessment Report
Mann's situation traces back to the world famous "hockey stick" graph, originally published by Mann and his colleagues in a 1998 scientific paper, and then prominently displayed by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in its 2001 Third Assessment Report. Because of its stark depiction of just how dramatically humans have altered the climate in a relatively short time period, the figure may well be the most controversial chart in history. Not scientifically controversial, mind you: politically controversial.
"This curve became an icon in the climate change debate because it told a simple story," says Mann of the hockey stick. "You didn't need to understand a lot of physics and math to see what that curve was telling you: That there were unprecedented changes taking place in our climate today, and by inference, they probably have something to do with us."
The saga of politicized attacks on the hockey stick is captured in Mann's book The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches From the Front Lines, which is just out in paperback. Suffice it to say that it's a long and sometimes enraging tale of congressional hearings, prying data requests, dubious scientific critiques, and personal attacks that stretches back to the early 2000s, and forward through the 2009 "Climategate" controversy and all the way up to the recently concluded Cuccinelli battle. Mann had to update the paperback edition of his book extensively just to capture the latest twists and turns.
Climategate, for example, centered in part on a leaked email that referred to "Mike's Nature trick…to hide the decline." This was erroneously taken to mean that Mann had been involved in trying to falsely show that temperatures are rising. (If you want to know what was really being discussed in this infamous email, read here.)
Multiple investigations have cleared Mann and the other scientists involved in Climategate. In 2010, however, Cuccinelli issued a "Civil Investigative Demand" to the University of Virginia, where Mann used to work, seeking Mann's emails and other documents related to a number of his research grants. The demand cited the "hide the decline" email as well as other leaked emails from Climategate. The university resisted and, in a case that drew dramatic media attention and widespread denunciations of Cuccinelli's "witch hunt," was ultimately victorious at the Virginia Supreme Court.
Emerging from this broad story, in retrospect, are at least two large ironies:
(1) There are lots of hockey stick studies, not just Mann's. So even as the issue was personalized and made all about Mann's research and its validity, other scientists just kept on producing hockey sticks. Mann likes to joke that there is now a veritable "hockey team." For other hockey stick studies see here and here.
(2) By attacking Mann in such a prominent way, climate skeptics have made him vastly more influential, politically and otherwise, than he might otherwise have been. For instance, Mann was just named one of the "50 Most Influential" people by Bloomberg Markets. Cuccinelli's demands of the University of Virginia gave Mann a new stature that, in turn, empowered Mann to directly campaign against him.
To see how prominent Mann and his story ultimately became in the Virginia gubernatorial election, just watch this ad from the McAuliffe campaign:
Granted, the climate issue, and the issue of Cuccinelli's pursuit of Mann's files, did not tip the Virginia gubernatorial race all on their own. Overall, the most powerful electoral strike against Cuccinelli seems to have been his association with the government shutdown brought on by House Republicans. Still, Mann says, "the issue of ideologically driven anti-science, which was symbolized by Ken Cuccinelli, I think that did fit into a larger narrative of a dangerous candidate who was driven by ideology over logic and science, and substance. And I think in the end, that was the difference."
Mann is well aware of how much of a departure campaigning against a Republican candidate is for a scientist. In the science community, there has long been discomfort with "advocacy" in its many forms, with the overtly political perhaps topping the list of scientific no-nos. Mann counters, though, that he's no political operative: It's just that this particular race, and this particular candidate, affected him so directly that he got involved.
"I felt like I had to fight back not just for myself, but to make it clear to other scientists that we do need to defend our science, not just because it's the right thing to do scientifically, but because the implications are so profound in this case," he says. How profound? "We are engaged in an unprecedented and uncontrolled experiment with the one planet that we have," says Mann. Politicians who seek to undermine this reality now have something new to worry about: That scientists, inspired by Mann, may not simply sit by and watch it happen any longer.

South Australian entertainer Quentin Kenihan is being remembered as one of Australia's greatest disability advocates following his death at the age of 43.
The wheelchair-bound author, filmmaker and movie star had brittle bone disease but died after being taken to hospital on Saturday for breathing difficulties.
Best friend Filip Odzak said Mr Kenihan's life was dedicated to advocating for those with disabilities and taught him there were no limitations.
"He travelled the world and achieved things that no abled-body person could," he told AAP on Sunday.
"His legacy is long-lasting and impactful."
Mr Odzak said his mate was a "go-getter" who never took no for an answer.
"He had a sharp wit and a devilish sense of humour," he told AAP on Sunday. "He was a ride or die friend, even in death we will ride together."
Mr Odzak said he and others would complete Mr Kenihan's bucket list in his honour, including having a park for children with disabilities in Adelaide.
Actor Russell Crowe said he was devastated by the loss of his "little mate".
Between your interviews, your book, your one man show, your zany little movies ...what a creative and productive life.
"The bravest bloke I ever met ... not confined anymore," he tweeted.
"Between your interviews, your book, your one man show, your zany little movies... what a creative and productive life."
Mr Kenihan became a household name in the 1980s after a TV documentary with journalist Mike Willesee, which detailed his condition.
As an entertainer Mr Kenihan's credits included starring in the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road as Corpus Colossus and performing at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.
For a kid never meant to make it to his teenage years, 43 is still too young. My mate @qkenihan would love us to remember his ability, rather than any disability. He lived by the motto "cope with the bad and celebrate the good." He had a lot to celebrate.
He recently put his hand up to become an area councillor for Adelaide City Council at next month's election.
Labor leader Bill Shorten and Defence Minister Christopher Pyne were among a raft of political heavyweights who've paid tribute.
"'We all have the ability to find the inner superhero in ourselves' - what a superhero Quentin Kenihan was," Mr Shorten tweeted.
Mr Pyne said Mr Kenihan's "drive, ambition and character" took him from the fringe festival to Hollywood, while being a strong advocate for people with disabilities.
Dignity Party board member Phillip Beddall told AAP Mr Kenihan "lit up the room" and had given disability a mainstream audience.

Is the Indian variant vaccine-resistant? What we know about the Covid jab's efficacy against the new strain
The Prime Minister says the strain is 'most concerning' with cases largely centred around Greater Manchester

May 16, 2021 4:54 am(Updated 11:05 am)
Boris Johnson has said the Indian variant of Covid-19 is of "increasing concern", as cases of the strain continue to grow.
The group of scientists mapping variants, COG-UK, has now identified 1,723 cases of the variant, according to the most recent data.
This is up from 520 a week ago, and 202 two weeks ago, when B1617.2 was first designated a variant of concern.
Cases of the variant have largely been centred around Greater Manchester, with door-to-door surge testing set up in Bolton. However, it has also been identified in London, Lancashire, Tyneside and Nottingham.
Ministers have refused to rule out delaying the final stage of the roadmap on 21 June, or imposing local lockdowns in hotspots.
Does the Indian variant resist the vaccine?
Scientists researching the Indian variant do not believe it is resistant to the vaccines, because it does not carry the E484K mutation.
This mutation is found in the South African variant, and helps the virus slip past the body's immune defences. Recent clinical trials by Novavax and Johnson & Johnson showed that their vaccines were less effective in South Africa compared with the UK or US, though still had a 60 per cent efficacy.
The early signs suggest the vaccines in use in the UK – Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna – will work just as well against the Indian variant as they have against the Kent variant, which currently accounts for the vast majority of UK cases.
Why is the Indian variant concerning?
The concern is that the Indian variant appears to be spreading most rapidly among younger age groups – who have not yet been offered the jab – and potentially in more vaccine-hesitant communities of ethnic minorities in Bolton and parts of London.
Having reservoirs of high infection even in a population heading towards herd immunity is not ideal, because this gives the virus more opportunities to mutate further while those not yet vaccinated are exposed. However, there is no evidence this is currently happening.
The vaccine rollout is being stepped up in Bolton to help combat the variant, and teachers are being advised to keep face masks in secondary schools from Monday 17 May.
Addressing the Commons on Wednesday 12 May, the Prime Minister said: "The threat of this virus remains real and new variants pose a potentially lethal danger, including the one first identified in India which is of increasing concern here in the UK. So caution has to be our watchword."
Asked whether local lockdowns could return in the worst-affected areas, Environment Secretary George Eustice told Sky News: "We can't rule anything out but our plan that has been set out by the Prime Minister and the reason we are being incredibly cautious about exiting lockdown is because we want this to be the last."


Alan Biggs' Sheffield Wednesday Column: Adam Reach may leave in January for £15-20million… but where would Owls be without him right now?
No single individual is Sheffield Wednesday's focus right now at a time of collective responsibility to recover some consistency of performance. But so much of the future could revolve around one man.
Adam Reach. Just how good? How much is he worth? What happens in January?
£15-20m. That's this column's gauge of what constitutes a big offer. Anything less you'd hope would be a non-starter.
Is Reach worth it? On current prices, yes. Not only for showcasing a catalogue of truly spectacular goals, some on live TV, but because of the nature of them.
Crucially, Reach can hit the target from almost any distance - with either foot. Witness that sumptuous right foot volley against Middlesbrough after those luscious left-footers against Leeds and West Brom.
At 25, Reach is not the complete player yet. He can lack composure closer to goal. There are times running with the ball when the former Middlesbrough winger can look a little ungainly and momentarily out of control.
But you can't buy his quality of goal on a regular basis. Well, maybe you can? Judging by the rise in fees for Championship talent, it would surely have to be £15m minimum for an asset on a long contract.
And you would imagine it won't only be Wolves at the starting gate in the window.
Beside his ability, Reach is a committed team man with his best years ahead of him.
Worryingly, though, where would the Owls have been without him this season? Arguably he has been the difference between sporadically entertaining hopes of the play-offs or struggling deep in the bottom half.
Against that, he also represents the potential difference between Wednesday flattening their financial fair play issues and being restricted to loans.
Ideally, manager Jos Luhukay will draw up a contingency list of targets from whatever money is freed up should Reach go.
Some proven quality would be required, outside of the stated and laudable aim of prioritising youth. Could Wednesday keep the season alive without a Reach or, for that matter, a Barry Bannan or a Fernando Forestieri?
As for FFP, while the Owls have been seriously handicapped, some compensation has come in the promotion of young players and a belated recognition of the need to offload.
Although Luhukay was seemingly committed to youth regardless, fewer opportunities would have appeared if Wednesday had continued to recruit on past rates.
The transitional problem is not of his making which is why - apart from agreeing with criticism of his constant changes - I support him still. Who actually predicted promotion or top six this season?
No matter who followed Carlos Carvalhal - or who might follow Luhukay - they'd still be going through the same hoops.
Strikes me that Luhukay, with his contentious calls on senior players (he sees behind the scenes, we don't), is putting the club's long-term interests ahead of self-preservation, knowing some high earners will have to go.
Yes, Wednesday have been shapeless in the last three games and keep shipping too many goals. But people don't pay to watch a clean sheet and I doubt there'd be much tolerance for that anyway.
That said, there is no doubting the need - ahead of the Bramall Lane derby - to reinvigorate the atmosphere with a positive performance and outcome against an in-form Norwich this weekend.

First Significant Rain, Snow of the Season Flooded Roadways in Southern California, Southwest
By weather.com meteorologists
A change in the weather pattern finallyer emerged in the West.
The first significant rain and and snow of the season will affect Southern California and the Southwest into Thursday.
Rain and snow was mostly beneficial, as most of the region is dry.
Too much rain in some areas could caused localized flash flooding.
The first significant rain and snow event of the season brought relief from dry conditions but also resulted in some localized flooding in Southern California and the Southwest.
Some roads were flooded in Southern California on Tuesday. A portion of Highway 243 near Idyllwild, California, had been washed away from heavy rain, according to a report relayed by the National Weather Service.
As of Wednesday morning, 2.32 inches of rain had been measured in Valley Center, California. In just 30 minutes Wednesday afternoon, 0.78 inches of rain fell near Deer Valley, Arizona.
Vehicles were reported stuck due to flooding along State Route 62 in the Mojave Desert early Wednesday. Motorists were stranded along Highway 177 north of Desert Center, California.
(LATEST NEWS: Wet Weather Floods Roadways in California, Arizona and Utah)
A water rescue was reported near New River, Arizona, Wednesday evening and roadway flooding was reported in the Phoenix area, as well as in northwestern portions of Arizona.
Both directions of Interstate 70 were closed near Vail Pass, Colorado Wednesday afternoon due to accidents from snowy roadways.
As of Wednesday evening, 14 inches of snow was measured at Pine Mountain Club, California.
First Significant Rain and Snow of the Season
This was the first notable precipitation in this region so far this wet season, which typically begins in November and lasts through April.
More than 80% of California is at least abnormally dry, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor, since precipitation has not fallen this wet season. This is a big jump from Nov. 5, when less than 18% of the Golden State experienced abnormally dry conditions.
Los Angeles and San Diego average around an inch of rainfall from Oct. 1 through Nov. 15, but they did not receive any rain during that period. It has been the eighth-driest start to the water year in downtown San Francisco, where only 0.03 inches have been measured, and it does not appear much, if any, rain will fall there with this upcoming system.
Drought conditions have also developed and expanded in the Four Corners region since late summer due to a relatively dry monsoon season in Arizona and New Mexico, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Drought conditions cover about a quarter of the West.

Taron Egerton hopes to play Wolverine in the MCU
picture: Twentieth Century Studios
Since Fox got themselves snatch disney Kevin Feige explained it mutants They will make their way to the MCU In the endThere has been no shortage of speculation as to who will play the new installment of the X-Men. Moreso from Professor X or Magneto, Wolverine He's the one who got some opinions about it. These days, we Now I know There's nothing stopping Hugh Jackman from returning to the role (and the frankly ridiculous diet he needs to maintain) that propelled him to movie stardom. But there has never been a shortage of people wanting someone new to take over, and now one actor is doing exactly what they want. Obviously instead of just dancing around the topic and I hope that To be John Krasinski in the end Movie.
Specifically, it's Taron Egerton from Kingsman And the rocket man fame (or more importantly, MoomintrollWho wants to participate in the comic book a job. He thus told the New York Times; While promoting his upcoming show on Apple TV + blackbird, Egerton admitted that he spoke with Marvel Studios employees, including Kevin Feige, about getting involved in the superhero game. While it's something he hopes to get, he also knows there are some big shoes to fill, no matter who plays the character in the end. "I will be excited, but I will also be anxious," he said He said. "Hugh is so attached to the role that I wonder if it would have been so difficult for someone else to do it." Back in 2019, the actor talked about realizing that fans wanted him to play the role, and he was flattered that they were rooting for him.
Talking with Feige increases Egerton's chances of playing Wolverine slightly, but it's also possible that Feige and his crew have someone else in mind to play with. Since Marvel has so many things in its various stages of production, we won't really know what Egerton's future will be until we know. Maybe he'll end up being a Wolverine, maybe he'll get locked up because of the Human Torch or Nova. (Maybe he'd be a good giant?) Either way, it's doubtful he won't end up playing a superhero in the end, because everyone else does… It's just a matter of who he's going to be.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) gave his weekly press conference Thursday, less than an hour after Senate Republicans released their version of the American Health Care Act.
The House's passage last month of their version of the healthcare act stands as Ryan's most significant legislative achievement of the Trump-era. While he had not read the 142-page Senate bill in its entirety, he told reporters he had been briefed on its general outline and was pleased with what he had heard. "From what I understand their bill tracks, in many ways, along the lines of the House bill. I think that's very good," he said.
What was helpful to us was that we didn't have Senate leadership playing armchair quarterback with us. The last thing I want to do is play armchair quarterback with them. I want to respect their process so I'm not going to opine on the micro-details … But what's important is that they pass their bill, that we get this process going, so that we can keep our promise.
While the AHCA eventually passed the House after changes in the language convinced members of both the hard-right Freedom Caucus and the centrist Tuesday Group to drop their opposition to the bill, its future in the Senate, where a loss of only three Republican senators will prevent its passage, remains uncertain. Polling has remained consistently poor for the bill and it is likely to face significant opposition, as it did in the House, from both the left and right.

When I moved to DC, I decided not to bring my car with me because the parking in my building is $275/month and I pretty much Metro/Uber/walk everywhere anyway. When I lived in Arlington, one task I did use my car a lot for was returning things from online orders that didn't work out. Now that I'm sans car, I've been mailing a lot of my returns back. Most of the time it's free, it just takes a while for the refund to process and hit my credit card. So one Friday night a couple weeks ago, I decided to just hop on the Metro after work and ride out to Tysons Corner mall to do a bunch of returns so they'd hit my card before the statement closed.
Back when I had my car, I typically did returns on a slow Sunday afternoon or after work during the week—it's been a long time since I've hung out at a mall on a Friday night. And let me tell you, the mall is still ~the place to be on a Friday night if you're in middle school. It brought back memories of when my friends and I would get dropped off at the mall and walk around aimlessly for hours—some things never change!
After I made my returns, I decided to shop around a little bit since I was already there. I popped into LOFT, and one of the first mannequins I saw was wearing this Plaid Flounce Sweatshirt and I knew it had to come home with me.
I picked up the medium, tried it on in the dressing room, and loved it immediately—the material is like a light sweatshirt and the plaid flounce detail makes this so fun and flattering. I've already worn it on a causal Friday and out to dinner, and I can't wait to wear it next week to Thanksgiving. My family's Thanksgiving is dress code is dressy casual, so this works perfectly. (I know some families choose to dress up!) Added bonus—it's currently 40% off with the code WORKIT.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and I'd love to know what y'all are planning on wearing or if there are any other good LOFT finds I should scoop up during this sale!
And, while we are on the topic of clothes, I have an exciting update on the work pant front—I think I found my new go-to pants for work! I went in person to LOFT this weekend and tried on basically every pant in the store. The petite skinny ankle pants in the Marisa fit were the winners! (They also come in regular + plus.) The material is high-quality, the legs don't flare out terribly much at the bottom but are still super professional (the straight ones are also nice, but I opted for the skinny since I liked how the legs were cut!), and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. I bought one pair to start, but if I like them after a few weeks of solid wear to work, I'm going to invest in another black pair and a few patterns. Because I am a crazy person, I still have a few pairs arriving via email I ordered last week—including the Express Columnist pants that were recommended to me by a former coworker, so I'll report back.
Omg girl I love this outfit you look gorgeous.
I've been having the exact same feelings about shopping in store versus online! Online is so convenient, but after having to order multiple sizes this week-I'm over it!
It's so much work to return items constantly! I'm all about ease these days.
Such a cute outfit! That plaid pattern is great for the holidays!
This literally made me LOL because I did the exact same thing last Saturday night and it seriously IS the place to be for the pre-teens. I hit Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Zara all for returns – it's so nice to get them out of the way instead of waiting for the mail-in returns to process!
