Stylish, vintage, gold and dark gray plaid cape or swing coat. Nicely home sewn in the 1960s of a polyester/cotton blend. There are three rows of two, black, glass buttons. One column is fixed, the other functions. The buttons don't quite line up properly. The fixed row should be adjusted. It has a Mandarin collar. The interfacing used down the front and in the collar is quite stiff. It's lined in a black, cotton blend.
This came from the estate of a lady who was always well dressed. She wouldn't have dreamed of leaving the house without her hair done – in later years her wig – face fully made up, jewelry, and matching shoes and purses. She had an outfit for every possible occasion and more. She would have been in her 30s in the 1960s. I can imagine her wearing this to a fall football game and looking like a million bucks.
It is quite heavy and packed, will be just over 2 lbs.


Conway told police she was attending a birthday party on Oct. 14 at a Mexican restaurant in Bethesda when she felt somebody grab her shoulders from behind and shake her, according to a charging document prepared by Montgomery County police. The woman who confronted Conway yelled, "Shame on you," and "other comments believed to be about Conway's political views," the document says.
Inabinett's attorney, William Alden McDaniel Jr., said in a statement that his client exercised her First Amendment right "to express her personal opinions" about a public figure in a public place. McDaniel said his client didn't assault Conway and will plead not guilty to the misdemeanor charges.

Federer Advances to 12th Consecutive Swiss Indoors Final – It was not completely free of smooth sailing, but by far Roger Federer's best performance of the week so far. The Swiss maestro raced off to a double break lead early, and never looked back, despite seeing his serve broken when serving for the match. The 8-time Basel champion will play for his ninth title on Sunday after a 6-1 6-4 victory over Russian Daniil Medvedev in 1 hour 4 minutes. Federer served six aces to five double faults, putting 55% of his first serves into play. While his first serve percentage remained in the 50% range, he won 87% of points on his first serve, and saved two of three break points faced. The 37-year-old Swiss converted four of nine break point opportunities in his own return games. In his 12th consecutive final (14th overall) at the Swiss Indoors, he will face Marius Copil of Romania. Copil upset second seed Alexander Zverev in three sets, 6-3 6-7 (6) 6-4.

Small detection volume, increased analysis speed and reduced cost are the main driving forces for miniaturized lab-on-a-chip systems. Subwavelength holes on opaque metal films provide a unique configuration for miniaturized sensors. Transmitted light through these tiny holes is governed by the electronic resonance on the surface of the metal film. Excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) on the metal-dielectric interface characterizes the resonance condition. The sensitive dependence of the plasmon resonance condition on the dielectric constant of the medium is used for label free sensing applications. In this thesis, we demonstrate a refractive index sensor based on a subwavelength plasmon interferometer using monochromatic light. Very high contrast fringe pattern is generated by the plasmon interferometer that consists of a sub-wavelength slitgroove pair with a small angle between them. The small angle between the groove and the slit provides spatially varying slit-groove distance which generates a highcontrast interference pattern. By interrogating the relative position of interference fringes, one can determine the refractive index of the dielectric medium on the metal surface. The presented plasmon interferometer provides a practical yet sensitive refractive index measurement scheme with very small detection volume.

Net-zero buildings made simple with ICF construction
All images courtesy Nudura
By Scott Carpenter and Keegan Still
Building a net-zero structure is an ambitious goal but designing to this calibre is not as complicated as it might sound. Constructing with energy efficiency in mind takes co-ordination between all the project team members and product research to determine the most long-lasting and cost-effective methods to achieve the necessary standards. While insulation is not the sole contributor to a net-zero building, insulated concrete form (ICF) technology, in combination with other energy-saving practices, can improve a building's energy efficiency while easing the construction process.
What is net-zero
First off, what does it mean for a building to be "net-zero"? This term, popularized in the early 2000s, refers to a structure that consumes and generates equal amounts of energy. Energy consumption includes heating, cooling, water use, lighting, and more. Creating clean, renewable energy and minimizing its use is feasible through an integrated approach of incorporating superior insulation between units and on the exterior building envelope, photovoltaics (PV) for electricity, water conversion and recycling, efficient fenestrations with low conductivity, and geothermal energy. Net-zero structures can be found in residential and commercial sectors, and are becoming more common in education, hospitality, and government projects. Using typical construction methods, energy costs can be particularly high for K-12 schools, apartment complexes, army barracks, and hotels, so a more efficient approach is now sought after for new builds. Dave de Sylva, P.Eng., founder of Howland Green Homes, puts it simply, "It is not that complicated…we can be different in how we build and have a positive impact on the environment."
A building can even go "beyond net-zero" and achieve net-positive status, meaning the development produces more energy than it consumes. The Howland Green Business Centre in Markham, Ont., was the first net-positive office building in Canada. It attained this standing by employing:
triple-glazed windows;
ICFs, totaling 200 mm (8 in.) of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation;
geothermal heating and air-conditioning;
PVs (solar panels);
high-efficiency appliances; and
clean- and grey-water harvesting.

Figure 1: Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) offer six construction steps in one lightweight, easy-to-install product.
In addition to these and other strategies, energy monitoring is an important factor in net-zero construction. Real-time measurements allow for consistent review of energy consumption and production, enabling any necessary adjustments to be made and validating the owners' investments.
For Howland Green, ICFs were a significant factor in saving the building owner and its future occupants heating and cooling costs.
Basics of ICFs
Insulated concrete forms consist of two continuous panels of EPS foam connected with a web system. The ICF forms are stacked to the desired building height, reinforced with steel, and filled with concrete. The resulting reinforced monolithic concrete walls can be used for several applications, including below and above grade. This method of building is compared to wood-frame, steel-frame, concrete masonry unit (CMU) block, or other structural masonry construction.
As building science becomes more advanced, the construction industry professionals are beginning to see the flaws in the previously tried and true methods of building. ICFs have filled that gap and offer six construction steps in one lightweight, easy-to-install form:
Form system;
Wall structure;
Insulation;
Air barrier;
Vapor barrier; and
Interior/exterior finish anchorage (Figure 1).
ICF manufacturers have a variety of form shapes to accommodate all types of building designs, and the EPS foam comes in various thicknesses to suit all energy code requirements and beyond.
Advantages of ICFs
In terms of net-zero construction, the advantage to building with ICFs is its sustainability aspects. This green-friendly method of building also comes with proven durability, labour-savings, and measurable time and cost savings for the design/build team and end-users.
The basic purpose of construction is building something that will last and keep occupants safe. Unfortunately, one frequently sees crumbling infrastructure where someone involved in the process must have cut corners. Insulated concrete form technology, on the other hand, has durability at its core. The foam insulation, rebar, and concrete interior ensure a structure that will last for centuries. ICFs offer maximum safety with a fire protection rating of up to four hours, and is proven to withstand winds of up to 400 km/h (250 mph).

Julian lay in bed, staring at the moon outside his window. Eve was cradled against his shoulder, fast asleep. He held her close, afraid that if he let go, she might disappear, that this incredible night had all been his imagination.
He kissed the top of her head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. Even at this late hour, there was still a hint of coconut there.
She stirred in her sleep and slipped her arm across his chest, her fingernails lightly scratching him. When the breeze through the open window ruffled her hair, Eve awoke.
Opening her eyes, she stretched and repositioned herself in Julian's arms.
"I didn't want to waste time sleeping. Besides, I was really enjoying watching you," he grinned.
"I probably snored too," she said, embarrassed.
"No; Just a whole lot of snorting," he teased.
She sat beside him and looked down into his laughing eyes. "I've missed these times we had together," she said quietly.
"I would have been, Julian," she assured him. "My love for you was deep and real. But I was so devastated when you left me to marry Ivy Winthrop." Tears welled up in Eve's eyes as she relived the moment when she saw them together at the Harmony Country Club.
Eve got up from the bed and put Julian's shirt back on. She approached him, placing a hand against his back as she stood beside him.
Eve leaned her head against his chest and hugged him close. "Yes….I do," she replied.
He tilted her chin up. "I wish things were different. I wish that I had been the man you deserved to have. I wish I had married you instead of Ivy." Tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Don't, Julian, it's no use. We can't change anything. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes." She brushed her hand across his shoulder to his neck.
"How, Eve? How do I learn from that? You belong to someone else…." He turned away from her, swallowing hard.
She leaned against his side, hugging her arms around him. Resting her cheek against his arm, she sighed. "I'm sorry, Julian. I wish things were different too." Her voice trembled with emotion.
He turned and wrapped her in his arms again. Tilting her tear-stained face up to meet his, he bent and placed his lips on hers.
Her arms went up around his neck as she pressed him closer, surrendering to him completely. After a few minutes, she slipped her hands down to the front of his robe, pushing it open. Her hands roamed his chest, caressing the smoothness of his skin.
He reached down and grabbed her hands. Pulling them up, he placed them around his neck again, grinning against her lips. "You drive me crazy," he said, his lips barely a breath's space from hers.
She smiled back; her lips against his, her tongue darted out and briefly teased him.
He placed her on her feet at the foot of his bed. Then he put his hands against her hips, sensually sliding them up her leg, dragging the shirt with them. He continued to move up till he was level with her breasts. "You'll see," he promised, as he brushed his thumbs against them.
Eve sucked in her breath. "Julian…" she whispered her knees about to buckle.
Julian smiled and leaned her back against the bed. As they hit the bed, he immediately rolled over and pulled her up on top of him. He grabbed the sheets that had been thrown carelessly aside and pulled them overtop of them when she shivered.
"I'm not cold," she laughed.
"I agree, my dear, you are hot! There is just something about being wrapped in a blanket with you." He pressed his lips to hers, his tongue invading her mouth as they kissed passionately.
Eve lay on his chest, both hands braced on the pillow beside his head. As she kissed him boldly, his hands roamed her back and moved lower, causing her breathing to become quick and shallow.
Suddenly Julian flipped her onto her back. Covering her body with his, he smiled into her laughing eyes.
"How old did you say you were?" she teased.
"What's age got to do with it?" he grinned.
"Well, you handle me like….." she paused, searching for a word.
"Hmmm," he caught her bottom lip with his teeth.
She caught his head in her hands and pressed him closer, kissing him soundly. Then she released his lips and leaned back on his pillow and looked up into his eyes. "I don't believe I ever spent so much time kissing in my entire life," she giggled.
His eyes roamed her face, then centered on her lips. "Well, you taste like fine champagne; do you blame me for indulging?" he grinned happily.
"Would you like some?" he asked softly as he grabbed his phone.
"It's so late, do you think we should?" she wondered, trying to be sensible.
"Too late? Honey, the night has just begun," he said wickedly as he pressed a number on the keypad of his phone. Listening for a moment, he then said, "Bring a bottle of our finest champagne to my room." He shook his head at the response on the other end. "I pay you for your prompt service, not lectures about the time." With that he hung up.
"Julian, be nice. I am sure that you woke her up," Eve chided.
"Him, it was a man," he corrected her with a quick kiss. He shifted his body and lay on the bed next to her. Then he pulled her into his arms, her chin resting on his chest, so that she was looking up at him. "He is paid rather handsomely to do as I say," he replied matter-of-factly.
Eve decided to give it up, realizing it wasn't her place to argue with him over the matters in his own house. "Well, thank you anyways," she smiled.
He sat up and pulled her up with him. "I'd do anything for you, you know that," he said as he placed a thumb on her chin and caressed it.
"You are so good to me," she said softly.
"I love you. I always have; I always will. I just wish I could show you like this every night." He immediately regretted saying that, fearing she would think of TC and leave.
"Oh, is that a dare?" he said, a mischievous glint in his eye.
"No…." she started, but was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Julian jumped up and put on his robe. He placed a finger against his lips, motioning for her to be silent. Opening the door, he took the champagne from the servant before he could enter the room. "There will be a bonus on your next paycheck," Julian promised and then closed the door.
Eve got out of bed and put on Julian's shirt and began buttoning it.
"What are you doing?" Julian asked.
Surprised, she looked up. "Buttoning your shirt?" she offered.
"Are you always this sweet?" Eve asked as she slid her arms around his neck.
The champagne chilled on ice as Eve and Julian collapsed on the bed once more in a feverish heat of passion.

College rounds off National Apprenticeship Week by honouring 'Apprentice Heroes' | Wiltshire College & University Centre
College rounds off National Apprenticeship Week by honouring 'Apprentice Heroes'
College rounds off National Apprenticeship Week by honouring 'Apprentice Heroes'
A group of 'Apprentice Heroes' have been honoured by Wiltshire College & University Centre to mark the end of National Apprenticeship Week.
Wiltshire College & University Centre have rounded off a successful National Apprenticeship Week by celebrating some 'Apprentice Heroes' – students who have gone above and beyond during their training programmes.
National Apprenticeship Week is organised by the Government and is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships. The 2022 edition is the 15th running of the event.
The College took part in a range of online, on-campus and off-site activities throughout the week to celebrate its apprenticeships offering and completed the week by honouring six 'Apprentice Hero' students as well as an employer winner. All student winners received a prize related to their field of study.
Billy Mitchell is studying a Level 2 Land-based Service Engineer (Plant Pathway) apprenticeship. Billy, age 23, works for construction equipment hire organisation AmeyBriggs and was Highly Commended in the Plant Mechanic of the Year (South) category at the 2021 Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) Stars of the Future Awards.
Billy said: "If you know the industry you want to go into, I think an apprenticeship is a brilliant option because it is that foot in the door. I couldn't recommend it enough, I did A Levels and that didn't help me decide what I want to do, so to get an opportunity to get hands-on in the industry has really made my mind up about what I want to do in the future."
Ashleigh Grant is studying a Level 3 Maintenance Operations Engineering Technician apprenticeship and was recognised for her incredible results both academically and in the workplace throughout her four-year programme.
Ashleigh, age 27, works for scientific engineering organisation Thermo Fisher and said: "Before I started my apprenticeship I worked in marketing. The job was brilliant but, sadly, the company went bust and I lost my job. At that point I made that decision to look at apprenticeships. An apprenticeship is definitely something I would recommend. I know lots of people who have done a degree but don't use it, whereas with my apprenticeship I've been able to get real-world skills and knowledge, and learn and build relationships."
Dan Cull is studying a Level 3 Team Leader / Supervisor apprenticeship to support his role at Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service. The 42-year-old has since taken on extra responsibilities at work and is now in charge of a team of 12 fire fighters.
He said: "I have worked for Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service for about 18 years and progressed through various roles but this apprenticeship was a really good opportunity to develop some of the leadership and team skills that I've picked over the years but put it into a more structured format. It's been really useful and has helped me secure a promotion."
Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Plumbing apprentice Louis Moore was recognised for producing outstanding work throughout his programme alongside achieving additional academic qualifications in English, Maths and IT. Louis, age 20, works for United Mechanical Ltd.
Tamasin Jones, age 45, works for Fairfield Farm College and is studying a Level 5 HR Consultant apprenticeship and was recognised for showing a clear commitment to personal development and enhancing the quality HR procedures within her organisation.
Milly Rawlings is studying a Level 3 Horticulture Supervisor apprenticeship. Milly, age 19, has been promoted to Head Gardener in her role at Charlton Park Estate and also led a College project at the Bath & West Show.
Milly said: "Doing an apprenticeship was really beneficial because I gained a lot more experience in the industry than I would have done otherwise. I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship to other people because you get to gain knowledge in the workplace while also still getting to go to college and do the theory-based learning as well."
Finally, South Hills Schools was recognised as the College's Employer Hero. South Hills are a group of 10 nurseries throughout Wiltshire and, at present, have four apprentices from the College on their staff.
Hilary Campbell-Smith, Operations Director at South Hills School Ltd, said: "Apprentices are our future room assistants and leaders, our potential Deputy Managers and Managers, our specialists in SEN, outdoor learning and beyond. Investing in the process and having them join our company has added so much value to us."

Trace, late 14th century, "to make a plan or diagram", from Old French, 12th century, trasser "delineate, score, trace, follow, pursue".
Materia Medica is an exhibition of recent work by Montreal artist Loren Williams. Invited by the Osler Library of the History of Medicine to create a body of work on the theme of Montreal's medical history, and recipient of the Michele Larose – Osler Library Artist-in-Residence Programme for 2017, the artist combines artifacts from the Osler collection with collected and created traces of Montreal's medical past.
The work in this exhibition draws inspiration from books and artifacts in the Osler Library as well as a wide variety of other sources. In particular, early maps of the city offer a form of time travel, indicating the location of the first hospitals and their large gardens used for food and medicinal plants. Three hundred year old streets such as rue de l'Hopital and rue des Soeurs Grises still exist in Montreal today, drawing direct lines to Montreal's medical history, as do streets named Jeanne Mance, Marguerite d'Youville and Penfield.
Interested in these traces that reference Montreal's medical heritage, Loren Williams has created a body of images that form a shadow archive. Images of medicinal plants used by the First Peoples and early settlers in Montreal were created using a 19th century camera-less photographic process called Cyanotype. The blue coloured images reveal the shadowy forms and details of the plants. They are like paper X-rays, made from a simple photographic process that uses UV rays, ie. sunlight, to expose the image, and water to develop it, sun and water being the same basic ingredients required by plants.
Over the course of a year, the artist followed charted streets and routes that link Montreal's past and present. Using epidemiological maps, she explored the sites and neighbourhoods of the city's devastating outbreaks of Typhus, Cholera, Small Pox and Tuberculosis. Other plans of the city led her to sites of hospitals, asylums and the longest duel in Canadian history over the building of a new hospital.
Like the collected plants that echo an early botanical pharmacy, Loren Williams also collected and created other traces of medical history. X-rays and teeth molds reveal the body's structures, fractures and medical interventions. First aid kits and their compartments double as garden plans for medicinal plants, while hospital architecture is represented in the form of postcards the shape of library index cards.
These works, presented with artifacts from the Osler Library collection, bring together images and objects from the realm of science, art and everyday life, offering an eclectic, less rational, interconnected perspective of Montreal's medical history.
Loren Williams is a visual artist working predominantly in photography. The passage of time, natural history, museums and obsolete photographic technologies are the inspiration and vocabulary of her practice. Frequently there is a connection between the artwork and the site where it is presented.
Originally from the Kootenays in British Columbia, Loren Williams moved to Montreal in 1993 and received her BFA honours in photography at Concordia University. She has received awards and grants from the federal and provincial art councils and has exhibited her work nationally.
Loren Williams extends much gratitude to Michele Larose, the Osler Library for the History of Medicine, and the Canada Council for the Arts for their generous contribution to this residency and exhibition project.
Congratulations to this year's Pam and Rolando Del Maestro William Osler Medical Students' Essay Award winners! The essays are now available on our website.

Thursday, October 12, 2017, 17:30-19:00. Please come to a vernissage at the Osler Library to celebrate the opening of our newest exhibit.
During the 2016-2017 academic year, Dr. Lucy Lyons spent time in the Osler Library archives studying the illustrations made by the English physician and medical writer, Robert Hooper. Inspired by Hooper's method of cutting out parts of his drawings like the analogue version of Photoshop, Lyons created her own fantastic collaged composites. This composite method was then transferred into studies of the collections in the Maude Abbott Medical Museum to create new, impossible pathologies. This exhibition is an exploration of the beauty of the fragment which is synonymous with pathology. If pathology is the fractured, broken, diseased, deformed fragment of the human body, this work explores the further fracturing, breaking and then re-assembling of parts.
Dr. Lucy Lyons received her PhD from Sheffield Hallam University. Her practice focuses on drawing within medical museums and working collaboratively to explore the beauty of collections. She is especially interested in the hidden, the overlooked, insignificant or in-between. This residency will allow her to push and explore her own practice and develop work in new ways whilst bringing new audiences to the collections.
The Michele Larose – Osler Library Artist-in-Residence award, is given annually to one or more deserving candidates with a degree in Studio Arts or a related field and/or a history of exhibiting artistic work in professional venues.

Vernissage: Friday, September 29, 6–8 pm at the Osler Library of the History of Medicine.
Welcome to "The Gendered Cultures of Beer and Cheese: the Regulation of Human and Microbial Bodies on the Home and Industrial Scales." This exhibition, comprised of medical texts, cookbooks, training manuals, and industry documents, showcases the ways in which advice about best fermentation practices has changed over time. As you visit the exhibition, we hope you will consider the following questions: How is the language employed around ideas of public health, food, and alcohol production gendered and classed? Are ideas about "what is safe" and "what is dangerous" regarding fermentation practices restricted to scientific understanding? To what degree are these ideas socially embedded concepts?
The materials for this exhibit come from McGill University's Osler Library of the History of Medicine; Rare Books and Special Collections; the Schulich Library of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering; the MacDonald Campus Library; the Blackader-Lauterman Collection of Architecture and Art; and the private collection of Alex Ketchum.
This exhibit has been made possible by the generous support of McGill University's Faculty of Medicine; the Institute of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies; the Department of History and Classical Studies; the Department of English; and the Office of the Vice Principal's Research and Innovation Grant.
We are pleased to offer this exhibit as part of this fall's conference, "Leavening the Conversation: Food, Feminism, and Fermentation." The event will be taking place on McGill's campus from September 29 to October 1st. In addition to the above sponsors, the larger event is also sponsored by Le Réseau québécois en études féministes of L'Université du Québec à Montréal, Concordia University's Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Concordia University's Centre for Sensory Studies, and the University of Alabama's Department of Gender and Race Studies.

Next, you'll want to create Gold Bracelets until at least Level 20. This can be done by using a gold bar on a furnace whilst having a bracelet mould in your inventory. The best location for this would be either Edgeville or Al-Kharid, as both furnace locations are very close to a bank. Each bracelet made grants 25XP, meaning you'll need to create 153 for Level 20, or 2,694 for Level 46. Bracelets can actually be created for a small profit, approximately 80gp profit per bracelet at the time of writing. Whether you choose to stop at Level 20 or Level 46 depends on your priorities – for the fastest XP and generally recommended method, stop at Level 20 and continue with the following method. However, if gold is a big concern, you may want to stick with the bracelets as you'll be able to earn XP without losing any money.
Assuming you have some gold to spend which if you don't you can just buy some here at Food4RS, this is the strongly recommended method to get from Level 20 – 54. If gold is a huge concern, read onto the next method for an explanation of Level 46 – 54 using an economy method. Cutting gems is a very fast way of gaining XP, I've broken down the amount you'll need to achieve each level milestone. You'll be cutting the highest level gem possible with this method, with the total cost of achieving Level 54 sitting at approximately just over 1M GP, I would strongly recommend training via this route unless you absolutely cannot afford to. Level 20-27 - Sapphires. 50XP per cut, total required 106. Cost ~40K OSRS Gold. Level 27-34 - Emeralds. 67.5XP per cut, total required 156. Cost ~50K OSRS Gold. Level 34-43 - Rubies. 85XP per cut, total required 355. Cost ~175K OSRS Gold. Level 43-54 - Diamonds. 107.5XP per cut, total required 936. Cost ~900K OSRS Gold.
To continue from the Gold Bracelet method, you'll want to move on to creating Unpowered Orbs. This requires a glassblowing pipe, and 1 molten glass per orb created. This is a very simple method, granting 52.5 XP per orb crafted. You'll need to create 1,580 of these to achieve Level 54, which shouldn't take a huge amount of time at all. You can expect to achieve approximately 60K XP per hour with this method, losing about 120gp per orb created. That means you can expect to pay ~200K to get from Level 46 to Level 54 with this method. From this point on, an 'economy' method doesn't really exist for Crafting. It's either the expensive, or the more expensive route. Let's explore the options.
You'll need to go and find your trusty needle again, as for these levels we'll be creating leather armour again – but this time it's Green Dragonhide Leather. Each Green Dragonhide Body requires 3 Green Dragon Leather (the tanned variant) and 1 thread. Each body crafted will yield 186XP, with a net loss of approximately 900gp. You can expect to have to create 2,399 Green dragonhide bodies to get to Level 71, at an approximate cost of just over 2M GP. For Level 66, you'll only need to craft 687 of the bodies, at a cost of approximately 600K GP. Whilst this method will grant pretty respectable XP per hour rates (250K or higher per hour is achievable), it does involve far more banking than the alternative methods (notably Battlestaffs) as you'll only be able to create 8 bodies per inventory compared to 14 per inventory via the Battlestaff method.


Every now and again I see memes floating around, denoting how no one was with you shooting at the gym or how your friends will invest in all the name brands but not buy your products and I have had people explicitly ask me to the address thinking I would be on the side of friends needing to support their friends businesses. Sis, I am so very sorry but I am not with this rhetoric.
Within the bounds of a healthy relationship, friends and family support in various other ways that a customer can never provide. Many of us coming from low-income households trying to make it ahead in a capitalistic structure might let our eyes gloss over green when we see the picturesque surface narrative of the Black person with the big family, all the friends, just living the life of bountiful communal support. We see that our network matters. But when you lack access to a financially stable network of people in decision making and leadership roles it can be doubly frustrating as you start out and turn to your own family and friends who don't support your events, watch your content or buy your products. The intent is not to dismiss your feelings but let's take a moment to look at the expectations we put on our family and friends from a different lens.
Your friends and family are not your customers. Within that healthy context, family and friends nurture and provide emotional support. Who do you think of when you want someone to talk sh*t with over someone cocktails; customers are not your friends or your gal pals. There are friends who are part of your closest circle, friends who you give you a different perspective and inspiration, friends who you can talk about your goals without judgment. Family who knows you intimately and loves you. If any of them ceased to exist in your life outside of being a customer, would you be happy with just that?
Your family and friends are NOT your core audience. And when you rely on them as customers you're doing yourself a major disservice because you're not honing on who your audience actually is. Who are you trying to reach? What does the person you believe you speak to, look like, how do they live, what are their interests? What value are you bringing to them? How does your brand connect? This is how you strategically brand, market and grow your business. And when you focus on your business, you get the right product out…your friends and family will come around. My mother was not watching my videos when my audio was jacked up, lol. Now that she does watch me, and I did not have to ask, it means that she truly appreciates the product that I am putting out. Once I established myself and honed in on my craft, my friends and family have supported without asking, making it much more meaningful then if they flatly supported me regardless of what I was doing. I know it's from a place of my work connecting and my message is being received. This informs me, in turn, to be more giving and support what I actually like and enjoy, especially when it comes to other Black women businesses.
We know there are the friends, associates rather and family who take without giving…a whole 'nother topic for another day. But for the people in your life who add value in other ways, you need to think through and define how they add that value. Learning how to appreciate them from where they are, so you can focus your energies on your business. Be strategic. Create your board of council members who you can turn to for business support and advice. And I promise when you get it together, when folks see that you are serious and your product is consistently dope they will indeed find the support with love and joy from those who are close to you. It might even be the moment you know you're on to something great when your Dad, who can never remember the name of the company you work for, it's hip to what you're doing.

Society for Glycobiology
The Society for Glycobiology is a nonprofit scholarly society devoted to the pursuit of knowledge of glycan structures and functions, and to the sharing of that knowledge among scientists worldwide.
Human Proteome Organization (HUPO)
HUPO is an international scientific organization representing and promoting proteomics through international cooperation and collaborations by fostering the development of new technologies, techniques and training. HUPO's mission is to define and promote proteomics through international cooperation and collaborations by fostering the development of new technologies, techniques and training to better understand human disease.
Human Glycoproteomics Initiative (HGI)
The HGI aims to increase the understanding of the functional significance of the extensive post translational protein modifications by glycans. This can only be achieved when the proteomics community has the technology and informatics tools to more easily enable the determination of site-, cell- and organ- specific glycoform structural heterogeneity in complex biological systems. The HGI is comprised of a number of researchers and collaborators throughout the world who are dedicated to fostering and accelerating research progress in disease glycomics by pursuing collaborative and interdisciplinary research. This initiative will connect the other HPP activities in HUPO more tightly and will permit the exchange of information of mutual interest. The data and information will be shared with members, non-participating researchers and will be made available for public, academic research and teaching purposes. In order to avoid diluting efforts by other on-going related activities, this initiative focuses on disease glycoproteomics.
Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG)
The CFG is a large international research initiative that works with and serves the scientific community. Its mission is to provide a networking forum and glycomics resources which enable investigators to reveal functions of glycans and glycan-binding proteins that impact human health and disease. The CFG offers glycan microarray screening services, a reagent bank, and free access to its extensive data repositories and molecule databases.
