"No Truck or Trade With the Germans," May Be Fine Patriotic Sentiment, But Look at the Trade Figures -To-day Germany is Canada's Third Largest Customer and the Two Countries Are Participating in the Briskest Kind of Business Relationship
Canada right now is selling to Germany eight times the quantity of goods she was selling the year the war broke out.
Germany is now Canada's third largest customer in the whole world.
In return Canada is buying from Germany this year about half the value of goods she was buying in 1914. During the war Canada made new trade connections with the United States and Japan in those lines of goods formerly got from Germany.
Germany is rapidly getting back her old connection.
At Toronto's biggest commercial hotel about one hundred commercial travelers and trade representatives have registered from Berlin, Frankfort, Munich and other German cities in the past twelve months.
At least an equal number of Toronto men have visited German cities in the past year on business.
Whatever resentment and bitterness may still burn in Canadian hearts against the Germans, Canadian business men have succeeded pretty well in forgetting and forgiving. Two of the largest businesses in the city of Toronto have now more representatives in Germany, on buying work, than they ever had in their history before.
This Christmas between one-third and one half the enormous number of toys that Canadian children will receive from Santa Claus will be of German manufacture. Santa Claus, that genial saint, seems to have been one of the first to forget and forgive.
In 1914 Canada sold to Germany – her highest year up to then – four million dollars' worth of produce. The year just closing Canada is selling thirty-five millions to Germany!
That year the war broke out; Canada bought fourteen millions in goods from Germany. This year she buys nearly eight millions from Germany.
"No truck or trade with the Germans" is a patriotic sentiment. But it has no relation to the facts. Germany is right now Canada's third largest customer in the world, to the tune of thirty-five million dollars' worth of Canadian produce and goods.
Germany's come back in trade with Canada has been slow but sure. In 1920 she only sold Canada forty-five thousand dollars' worth of foods. Then –
1921 $1.500,000
These figures approximate. The way she has cut into the United States and Japan in recovering her lost trade with Canada is shown in these figures comparing 1920 with 1924. Toys first –
United States $1,038.844 $831,810
Japan 158,804 64,998
Germany 3,200 318,673
Come-back of German Toys
Nobody, it seems can make toys as good and as cheap as the Germans. Of course, the highest class of mechanical toys, dolls and expensive toys generally still come from the United States. But according to the managers of toy departments in Toronto between one-third and one-hall the toys sold in Toronto this Christmas are German toys. These toys are all clearly marked "Made in Germany." and no effort is made by the merchants to erase or conceal the made in Germany trade mark. The number of persons who make any protest about these toys does not average one a day. The public has accepted with perfect equanimity the German toy for their children to play with.
"When we do have a kick," said one manager, "it is from an emotional person who protests loudly. All we can do is show them the toys made in other countries. For competition has decidedly put the German toy back on the market for keeps."
This manager showed two identical toys, a well-known child's game. They were identical, except that the workmanship in the German one was unquestionably the better. The German toy sold for twenty-five cents, the American for sixty-five. The manager shrugged his shoulders.
"What on earth can we do about it? The public want them."
In the case of pocket knives, Germany has cut enormously into the United States trade and to a very considerable extent into the British trade. The figures for pocket knives for the same two years are
Britain $229,942 $177,474
United States 192,883 36,589
Germany's increase is greater than the United States' loss.
In chemicals, scientific equipment, lead pencils, fancy goods and small ware generally the Germans are coming back at a tremendous rate.
The goods Canada is selling to Germany are largely wheat and food products.
Hatred was surely mutual during the war. Whether Germans hated Canadians as wholeheartedly as Canadians hated Germans would be a hard question to settle. Do Germans gag at Canadian wheat, bacon and butter?
Canada in some respects seems at this stage of affairs to be more British than Britain. While Toronto's board of education constructs a tremendous row over the purchase of German drawing paper Oxford University plays a game of rugby football with a team from Frankfort university. While some of our local statesmen are making the heavens ring with their denunciation of Germans forevermore, British statesmen are staging the love feast of Locarno.
Oxford University even went the length, some two or three years ago, when wounds were still bleeding, of including on her roll of honor the names of German Rhodes scholars who fell in battle in front of British and Allied guns!
Most significant and dramatic of all occurrences was the rushing – at the request of the British Admiralty – from the German naval base in Kiel of a salvage crew to help locate the British submarine M-1 which sank off Start Point. There, over a submarine, darkest symbol of those long years of hatred, British and German sailors struggled frantically together, shoulder to shoulder.
Britons do not make any two-faced pretense at forgetting and forgiving. If they forgive, they do it in a downright way.
Strange Dilemmas of Peace
What will smooth the path of peace between Canadians and Germans? Business is doing it. Scores of Canadian business firms have entertained Germans who have come to Toronto on business. Toronto clubs have had them as guests, perhaps unwittingly. They have been guests of Toronto homes, and some of those homes had every reason to be filled with unforgiveness.
A Toronto importer received in his office a German with whom he had been corresponding and doing business for two years. They got on fine. Both were elderly.
"Look here," said the Toronto man, "nothing would please me more than to take you to my home to dinner to-night, but as a matter of fact -er- it might be painful for us both, because I lost a son in the war, and – my wife, you know!"
The whiskered German suddenly filled with tears.
"Stop, please," he said. "I too, lost my son and my only other son is a cripple for lite in bed. What helpless creatures we are, after all! I would not enter your house, my friend, for my own sake and for yours."
But these two men did dine together over the Toronto man's table. And the mother sat with them. But they did not talk of war or of sons. And one photograph that stood in the place of honor in the living room was hidden. Here is only one of the strange dilemmas of making business and making peace.
The writer has had his experience. In the rotunda of Toronto's largest hotel, he was hailed by a friend.
"Here, I want you to meet a friend of mine," I was introduced to a tall, good-looking follow.
"You two ought to know each other," said the friend. "You have been pretty close to each other often enough, but I doubt if you ever met."
The tall fellow whose name I didn't catch smiled.
"You were both on the Avion front at the same time," continued the introducer, grinning mischievously.
"Oh," said I. "What unit were you with?"
"Two hundred and umpty ump Bavarians," said the stranger.
My confusion was so comic we all had to go up to the German's room, where we spent over two hours talking over the war from two sides of No Man's Land.
"Where," was one of the first questions I asked him, "did you have those internal whizz bangs that used to plaster us from short range somewhere right in the ruins of Avion?"
The German infantry officer chuckled.
"We had a couple of guns on an elevator in a mine shaft. We'd pop 'em up and loose off half a dozen rounds and then pop down again. But you got those guns at last, you know."
"Glad to hear it!" says I.
"But tell me," asked the German, "what the blazes were those mean, little, soft, creepy shells that used to whisper in with a sort of trickly sound and explode with an awful bang?"
"Four-five hows, I guess," said I.
"Well," said the German, "those shells we hated more than all the rest of your guns put together. You couldn't hear them coming in, and there was the most awful, unexpected crump…."
Moving Picture Patriotism
Yes: he said crump. So there was the war fought over for two hours from opposite sides. And the more we talked, the more the sameness of experience grew upon us. He admitted that he hated the Canadians best of all, because we never stayed put, always raiding or patrolling, strafing and cutting up rough. I had to admit that Bavarians were livelier than the far-famed Prussian Guards, at which he looked proud and recounted some of his regiment's most spectacular deeds. Then I told over Vimy, Passchendaele, and the famous Hundred Days. We wrangled. We disagreed. We agreed. We agreed that "how could man die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods?" (Neither of us having died.)
This experience is befalling more and more. In the harbor of Montreal not long ago, a German ship lay loading a cargo of Canadian grain. In the same slip lay freighters from Britain, Holland, France. The sailors were lounging about the wharf, smoking, chatting, laughing, Canadians amongst them. Many of these men had seen war service on the sea, as enemies. There was no war there, and no sense of it.
Canada's trade with Germany is not a thing of early post-war years, when Germany was in dire need of foodstuffs. The greatest increase has been this year. In 1923 Canada sold Germany twelve millions; last year, twenty millions: this year, thirty-four millions. What appears to be a valuable and permanent trade connection has been made. Germany has to pay for this year's Canadian goods in thirty-four million dollars' worth of something – money or goods. In the opinion of the super-patriots, is German money less tainted than German goods?
So far, no board of education or other Canadian body has published a resolution that Canada cease selling goods to Germany.
After all, in only one respect is the sentimental hatred of Germany expressed in Ontario: and that is, that no motion picture film of German origin can be shown in Ontario. The Tor onto censors, under the Provincial treasurer, do not even look at German films. Ontario is the only province in Canada that prohibits German films. It is probably the only British unit in the empire that refuses to accept German films.
German newspapers and books have free access and come with every mail to Canada. German travelers are arriving in larger numbers each month.
In business the war is really over except in certain public respects connected with the public vote.
And the outcry against German goods occurs – as anyone might have predicted – about six weeks before voting time.
Editor's Notes: The "love feast of Locarno" would be the Locarno Treaties signed on December 1, 1925 that normalized relations with Germany. It was likely the inspiration for this story.
Whizz Bangs were slang to describe any German artillery in WW1, while "four-five hows" would be British QF 4.5-inch howitzers.

Old principles used to relieve back pain
By DAVID COLBURN
The fourth day of deer hunting season last fall was good to Don Vinduska of Lincolnville and his hunting partners.
"For some reason, everybody shot a deer that evening," Vinduska said.
As he loaded and unloaded the deer, Vinduska didn't know six weeks of agonizing pain lay ahead.
"That's what started the whole thing," Vinduska said. "At that time they didn't know it was a pinched nerve in my back. I couldn't use my right side much at all."
Kevin Steele of Marion, a tire delivery driver for American Tire Distributors of Wichita, was no stranger to pain. He suffered a broken neck in high school, and for most of his adult life he'd had periodic treatments that allowed him to live an active life.
That changed about three years ago, Steele said.
"I've been having lower back issues to where I couldn't hardly walk any more," Steele said.
Lifting and moving tires and getting in and out of the cab of his delivery truck were at times excruciating, Steele said, but the pain was magnified by the negative effect it had on his family life.
"I couldn't do things with the kids," Steele said. "I couldn't walk to the park, couldn't go to the lake fishing. No real activity with my kids here in the yard. If we went to the zoo I'd have to sit down every five to ten minutes and let them go look at exhibits."
Both men saw doctors and tried physical therapy, but relief was elusive.
"They tried so many things, but they couldn't get anywhere," Vinduska said. "I'd go for four or five minutes and the pain would be so great."
Before resorting to more invasive procedures, both of their physicians finally recommended trying an alternative therapeutic procedure.
"They decided let's try spinal decompression before spending thousands of dollars on injections and surgeries," Steele said.
The referrals took them to Marion chiropractor Bruce Skiles, who had recently purchased a spinal decompression system.
"They used to just be available in big cities because they were so extremely expensive," Skiles said. He had been referring patients to treatment centers in Wichita and Salina before purchasing one.
The system consists of a bed, a harness connected to a cable, which in turn is linked to a computer-controlled motor. The system stretches the spinal column, which allows the discs between vertebrae to expand and relieves the pressure on pinched nerves, Skiles said.
"The vast majority of the problems in low backs and spines is you're losing disc height," Skiles said.
"This is a progressive-type traction. What it will do is traction you a little bit, then let off, traction you a little bit more, and let off," Skiles said. The computer control module has different programs for different kinds of cervical and lumbar conditions. Skiles picks the appropriate program, and then enters additional information to tailor the treatment for individual needs.
A typical course of treatment involves 10 30-minute sessions over about three weeks, Skiles said.
Getting results
Vinduska wasn't "most people," and he had a different name he jokingly used for the system.
"He put me in that big torture machine thing that stretches you out," Vinduska said. While Vinduska was still laying on the table after his first treatment, Skiles asked him how it had been.
"God-awful horrible, I told him," Vinduska said. Then he stood up.
"I stepped off of it, took one step forward, one step to the right, and the tears started flowing — I was pain-free," Vinduska said. "I couldn't talk, I was so choked up. I think I even gave him a hug."
Skiles said the amount of Vinduska's improvement with only one treatment was unusual. Multiple sessions are usually needed to approach that level of results.
"After one treatment he was 90 percent better," Skiles said.
Steele's experience was more typical, but no less dramatic.
"I was real skeptical it wasn't going to fix my problem," Steele said. "My insurance would not cover those sessions, because it was considered an experimental treatment."
Compared to the cost of surgery, however, Steele thought $400 for ten sessions was worth the try. He started experiencing relief after his third visit.
"After the third session I was up and feeling good. I was up mowing the yard," Steele said. "Within five sessions, we walked to the park, and on the way back my daughter was messing with me. My kids hadn't seen me run in years. 'You can't catch me,' she said, and she took off.
"I stayed in a dead run from Walnut Street to a block and a half past the railroad tracks. I ran for another two blocks after she quit, no back pain whatsoever," Steele said.
"We did the 10 sessions on my back, and I've been more active since March than I have in five years." Steele bought a jet ski he uses almost every other weekend, he goes camping, takes long walks, and he's painting his house.
Not everyone will experience benefits from spinal decompression, Skiles said. Vinduska offered an example.
"My brother was having some problems, but it did not work for him," Vinduska said. "He went three or four times, but it didn't do anything."
Skiles said the success stories indicate spinal decompression can be well worth the investment.

When I think back to our time on Fuerteventura, pretty much the only things that come to mind are the beach and the sun. Back then we did relatively little on the island, but sometimes you just need to be lazy. There is one excursion though that I remember well.
We took a hire car to Faro de la Entallada. This is one of the most beautiful destinations on the island.
The drive up to the lighthouse is an adventure. A very curvy and narrow street diverts from the main road for the last 7 kilometres to the lighthouse. The street is really curvy and I was relieved that my tummy was in peace again after our arrival. On days where it is not possible to visit Faro de la Entallada the entrance is closed by a barrier.
The Punta de la Entallada is on the southern coast of Fuerteventura. On a steep cliff, 185 meters high, is the Faro de la Entallada.
The lighthouse was built in 1950 after a design by the architect Carlos Alcon. It is a rather atypical structure. The tower isn't very high for a lighthouse and is topped with a glass dome. The footprint of the complex is a square. The walls are made from grey basalt and red porphyry, the dominant features are sills, ledges and arches.
There is a car park right in front of the lighthouse from which it's only a few steps to the viewing platform. The view of the Atlantic, the coastline and the Cuchillos de Vigan valley from here is grandiose.

After 118 Years, Wisconsin Congregation to Move Into New Home
From shuttered synagogue to light-filled facility on 1.5 acres of tranquil gardens

The ebbs and flows of Jewish life in smaller cities and towns across North America since the late 19th century have seen the rise and fall of many a synagogue structure and once-thriving community, with many now residing only in the musty halls of local historical societies or in the form of nearly forgotten cemeteries.
Not so in Kenosha, Wis., where a plucky community bucked the trend by partnering with Chabad-Lubavitch and is now purchasing a light-filled facility nestled in 1.5 acres of tranquil gardens, gazebos and trails to replace an aging synagogue that has been shuttered since 2014.
"It's like a gift from G‑d," says Gail Baum, who lives part-time in a condo in Kenosha and has come to appreciate Judaism in a new way since she and her husband, Ron, became acquainted with the congregation, and their leaders, Rabbi Tzali and Rivkie Wilschanski. "I love learning from Tzali and participating in the singing at their Shabbat table. It has enriched my life."

Lubavitch of Wisconsin
Chabad of Kenosha
She says their efforts will now be "energized" by the acquisition of the new property, which will now house the 118-year-old congregation.
Located on the blustery shores of Lake Michigan, halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee, Kenosha was settled in the mid-19th century by a hardy bunch of New Yorkers searching for fresh opportunities.
Jewish immigrants had joined them by the 1880s, and a community soon formed and organized under the banner of Bnai Zedek. In 1904, they appointed their first spiritual leader and shochet, Rabbi Louis Lepkovsky, and the congregation met for services in his and others' homes. Less than a mile from the lakefront, the area was predominantly Jewish, with a Jewish bookstore, kosher butcher shop and other Jewish establishments.
The community grew steadily, and in 1911, a building fund was established. The first donation, $500, was given by Zalmon G. Simmons, mayor of Kenosha and owner of the locally founded Simmons Bedding Company, who, despite his very Jewish name, denied being Jewish.
The synagogue, which cost an estimated $10,000 to $15,000, was completed just one year later, with soaring stained-glass windows, ample seating for more than 200 and a second-story women's gallery, as was common.
Reporting on June 19, 1911, on the commencement of construction, the Kenosha Evening News reported that there were 32 local Jewish families, totaling 100 people, and noted that the contract stipulated that all work be finished before 5 p.m. on Fridays and not resume until after Shabbat. "This is the first contract ever made in Kenosha which carried this provision," the report concluded.
The first wedding in the new building was of Ida Lepkovsky, daughter of the rabbi, to Louis Berkovitz. The first bar mitzvah was that of his son, Samuel, who went on to become a renowned nutritionist and researcher.
In 1918, after the Spanish Flu Epidemic claimed the lives of three local Jews, the decision was made to consecrate a local cemetery, as before that bodies had to be transported to Chicago for burial.
By 1920, the Jewish community grew to include 120 families, and a sisterhood was soon formed.
Through the 1960s, the downstairs social hall also doubled as a Hebrew school, which had as many as four classes.

Grappling With a Changing Neighborhood
Over the years, the Bnai Zedek community slowly shrank as children of the original immigrants moved north to Milwaukee and south to Chicago in search of higher education and better jobs. Many of those who remained behind slowly drifted from the traditional observance of their parents.
The neighborhood also changed, as people moved further west, away from the smaller, older homes close to the wharves and factories along the lake.
As people left, some others came, including Holocaust survivors. And as the northern edge of Chicago's suburban footprint edged closer and closer to the Illinois-Wisconsin state line, Chicagoans began to look toward the Wisconsin city as a tax-friendly exurb.
By the 1970s, the synagogue, which had not had a rabbi for decades, was still functioning on a weekly basis, led by community members, most notably Joe Kassel and Dr. Stanly Rosen.
Noting the lack of locally available kosher food or a critical mass to form a daily minyan, a column in the Jan 20, 1980, Kenosha News observed that "it is not surprising, then, that B'nai Zedek's current membership currently numbers about 25 families."
Yet, the article noted, the "congregation represents something of importance to Kenosha's Jewish community."
And it was this "something" that kept the congregation alive during the lean years of the latter half of the 20th century.

'They Were So Inviting'
Upon Kassel's passing in 1980, Rosen reached out to Rabbi Yisroel Shmotkin of Lubavitch of Wisconsin requesting a rabbi who could conduct a traditional funeral.
Shmotkin sent his associate, Rabbi Yoseph Samuels, who had recently joined the team of Lubavitch of Wisconsin.
"From that funeral, I got to know the community, a very heimishe group, many of whom knew Yiddish" says Samuels, who still visits Kenosha more than 40 years later. "We started holding classes in people's homes and doing other activities, including a Hebrew school."
After Rosen moved away in the mid-1990s, Samuels began spending the High Holidays in Kenosha to conduct services in the cavernous but mostly empty synagogue.

Rosen's position as president was filled by Ron Sanders, who moved to town in 1989 from Chicago. Raised with little religious observance, Sanders had spent 13 years in the military and owned a successful CPR training company.
"A guy from Bnai Zedek called me up and invited me to a class with Rabbi Samuel," recalls Sanders. "I had expected Orthodox Jews to be overbearing and preachy, but these Chabad rabbis were nice. My wife was not Jewish at that time, and they were so inviting."
As president, Sanders thought long and hard about how to revitalize the congregation. He reached out to various national organizations in search of a rabbi, but received few responses.
Built with careful attention to detail, the new center will provide ample room to grow and enhance Chabad's programming in Kenosha.
Then Samuels suggested that they bring down a Chabad couple. In 2007, Rabbi Tzali and Rivkie Wilschanski became the co-directors of a new entity called Bnai Zedek Chabad.
"Rabbi Samuels said the main criteria is that they be nice," says Sanders. "And he was absolutely right."
Beyond the synagogue, the Wilschanskis reached out to unaffiliated Jews all across Kenosha and Racine counties, held children's events and women's programs, and hosted countless Shabbat dinners in their home.
And the needle began to move.
Younger people began attending synagogue, there was hope in the air, and expectations mounted.
"We were so welcomed," says Ron Baum, who is originally from the Detroit area. "We love the classes, and of course Rivkie's food!"
The new center is surrounded by 1.5 acres of manicured gardens, gazebos and walking paths.
'A Calm and Relaxed State'
But things were not simple.
The old Bnai Zedek building, just about to celebrate its 100th year, was aging. Poorly insulated and inaccessible to people with wheelchairs and strollers, it was becoming a liability and a money drain.
According to Sanders, the choice was simple: "We could hold onto the building until we would be forced to let go of it because we were bankrupt, or we could sell it while we still had money in the bank."
In 2010, services moved into the Wilschanski family home, several miles inland and closer to where many regular attendees lived.
And in 2014, the building, which has been a registered landmark since 1999, was sold to a Chicago-area developer, who agreed to maintain and respect its Jewish character.
With a space of their own, Chabad will no longer need to rent or borrow facilities for larger celebrations like this Purim party.
Meanwhile, Chabad activities grew, and the search for a new home for the venerable congregation continued.
Properties were purchased and plans were drawn up in late 2019 just prior to the Coronavirus pandemic. By the time the world returned to normal, prices had risen to the point that the project was unfeasible for the modest community.
"There are maybe a thousand Jewish households in these two counties," estimates Rabbi Wilschanski, "and we know several hundred of them. The price tag was entirely out of our range."
Then, just last month, a new opportunity arose.
The Colergét Conference Center, a light-filled facility nestled in 1.5 acres of tranquil gardens, gazebos, and trails, was for sale. The building and grounds reflect the creator's love of Asian architecture and landscape and would be a perfect fit for the community.
Since 2007, many Kenosha Jews have found a renewed relevance and meaning to Jewish life and ritual.
A below-asking-price offer was made and accepted, and Chabad leadership shifted into high gear to raise the necessary funds to cover the deal.
Recognizing the history of Colergét, Chabad will continue to host several events for the broader community each year on the property and aims to maintain the extensive landscaping to the best of its ability.
And the prospects the property provides are exciting. "Everything was created to set a tone, and bring you into a calm and relaxed space," says Wilschanski. "We hope that this will really become a community center, where people will feel at home, welcomed and comfortable to celebrate, connect and reflect."

The new center will provide space for family celebrations of all sizes and styles.
The Wilschanskis and their children have become an integral part of the community they serve.

Hey Samuel lepkovsky was my great great uncle !!! Much of his extended family resides in Chicago, Israel, Washington state , California state. Rabbi Louis Lepkovsky Would be my great great great uncle. Reply
M Berkowitz California September 22, 2022
in response to Yoshikovasha Garcia ( Segura Lepkovsky):
Rabbi Louis Lepkovsky was Samuel's father, so if Samuel was your great-great uncle, then Louis would've been your great-great grandfather. Your uncle's father is your grandfather, not your great-uncle.
(Unless it's your uncle by marriage, in which case you wouldn't be related to his father in any way. But I see that your own last name was Lepkovsky, so Samuel must've been your great-grandfather's brother).
Does that make sense that you're a direct descendant of Rabbi Louis? Reply

Win a KitchenAid® Stand Mixer & Food Processor Attachment!
Home » October Unprocessed Posts » Win a KitchenAid® Stand Mixer & New Food Processor Attachment for October Unprocessed!
Update – September 30, 2014: The giveaway has now ended, and the winner has been notified. Thank you so much to everyone who entered, shared, and commented. I love that everyone is so excited about tools to help them cook more real food! Your enthusiasm is a great inspiration to me – truly!
I'm a fan of any kitchen tool that truly makes life easier… so it'll come as no surprise when I tell you I love our KitchenAid stand mixer. It makes quick work of foods like bread dough and pizza dough, butter (yes, really), and even homemade seitan. If you've ever tried to make whipped cream by hand, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
The ExactSlice™ Food Processor Attachment is like having the top half of a stand-alone food processor. It'll shred, slice, dice, and even julienne. It'll be especially handy for folks with limited counter space, since it's a lot easier to store in a cabinet or on a shelf than a heavy, full-size food processor.
KitchenAid has also just rolled out three gorgeous new colors in their Artisan® series: Bordeaux, Sea Glass, and Lavender.
Okay, so let's get on to the good stuff: One lucky October Unprocessed challenger is about to score some serious loot, compliments of KitchenAid: An Artisan Stand Mixer in your choice of one of the new colors, and the ExactSlice Food Processor attachment to go with it. That's value of nearly $530!
Want more info? Visit the KitchenAid website for their Artisan Series Stand Mixers and the new Food Processor Attachment. And of course, you can buy them on Amazon, too (though the new colors are so new I'm not sure they're available anywhere else just yet).
First you'll need to go take the October Unprocessed pledge (if you haven't already). Then in the Rafflecopter widget below, log in with Facebook or your email address. Confirm that you took the pledge (which is your first entry), and that will also unlock several more ways you can enter.
Thank you to KitchenAid for donating the awesome prize, and for my friend Rachel for helping make this giveaway happen. Awesome.
Apologies to my Canadian friends, but you must live in the United States, and be over the age of 18, to enter. Once the giveaway ends, I'll use Rafflecopter to draw a winner at random, and then will contact the winner via email. She or he will have three days to respond, or I'll pick a new random winner. Good luck!
I never knew about making pizza dough or butter in a kitchen aid! I'd love to try making pizza dough in a new kitchen aid! I love the red! and the teal! wowowow!!
I'd love to bake some bread!
Karen, we use our KitchenAid (not this lovely model) for bread making often! It makes kneading so easy.
These are beautiful! Love the sea glass one.
The first thing I would make in my new KitchenAid Stand Mixer would probably be whole wheat pancakes!
Looks like an amazing machine! Would love to have one!

Farewell Audi
On October 30, 2016 By RennphotoIn Audi, Uncategorized
Much has already been written and said about the withdrawal of Audi from the FIA WEC series and top-tier LMP racing.
Among others, Marshall Pruett has observations at Racer.com and Gary Watkins has his own analysis on Racer.com here.
Graham Goodwin says thank you to Audi on Dailysportscar.com and Stephen Kibley has an excellent historical retrospective.
John Dagys talks about Audi's Gift to the Endurance Racing World on Sportscar365.com. Tony DiZinno credits Audi for making Le Mans great again and offers some personal reflections about what Audi did for his personal sportscar passion.
The gang at Radio LeMans talked about the news during the Midweek Motorsport Edition on the day of the announcement. That podcast is available here.
Like NASCAR struggled in the years after RJ Reynolds Winston sponsorship ended, the FIA WEC will struggle in the absence of Audi. The amount of "activation" resources spent by Audi has been enormous. For every Euro of engineering or staff investment for the product on the race track, Audi must have spent a Euro (or more) to make sure everyone knew they owned the track.
Banners alongside the track have been a very visible means of grabbing eyeballs and making sure you remember Audi's presence even when the four rings aren't in the television frame or spectator's sight line.
The quantity of staff and guests at LeMans alone was staggering. Multi-story temporary hospitality structures? Yes – several of them. Audi didn't just bring guests to LeMans – they took over an exhibition hall to build hundreds of pods for guests within a 10 minute walk from the Le Mans track – and kept a fleet of cars and vans to ferry guests around the facility.
Building a structure just before the Dunlop bridge solely for all spectators – not just invited VIPs – to get a great look at cars launching up the hill at the end of the front straight? Yes.
Those things barely scratch the surface of the Audi approach to making the most of their investment. The logistics are incredible. The impact for service providers, caterers, local temporary staff, airlines, construction crews, transporter drivers, electricians, and more will be material. While the loss will be felt inside the FIA WEC offices. The tracks that sell advertising space and hospitality spaces and the surrounding communities will also feel the impact.
The high standard on the race track is abstract in some ways, but certainly operated as a bar for others to meet. We know that Audi staff had to make the case each year to continue their program, but imagine the poor person tasked with making the business case to a Board of Directors or Chief Financial Officer at another manufacturer to spend the cubic Euros that it would take to be competitive.
"We should be able to win so that we get good publicity, right?"
"Maybe here and there, but Audi has pretty much dominated Le Mans and most other race tracks so we shouldn't count on winning anything. They sometimes run 3 cars which gives them a few chances at a win. If one stumbles, we might get on the podium."
"What about if we spend $100m Euros? We should be able to win with a budget of $100m Euros, right?"
"Not likely. Audi spends north of $200m each year."
"We should be able to at least be competitive, right?"
"Not really. Audi has a deep bench of very experienced engineers who have perfected their craft, they constantly develop new cars and new technology and have some of the best drivers in the world."
"Why would we do this, let alone spend $100m Euros for the privilege?"
"Ummm…."
As the philosopher Tommy Kendall says, there may be no right or wrong, but there are consequences.
The rear-end change during the 2000 LeMans race is still discussed today. Think about that for a second. We are in 2016 and a mechanical fix done 16 years ago during one race still is discussed in hushed tones of reverence among sportscar fans. It is memorable amidst all of the all of the other memorable Audi moments on the track and when the trophies were handed out. In fact, the switch was so remarkable that it inspired a change in the regulations to ensure that such a thing could never happen again.
There wasn't anything cutting edge about the technology. No unobtainium materials were employed, hybrid harvesting systems in operation, or crazy budgets involved. It didn't even test the rules or seek to operate in the gray areas of nebulous interpretations. It was merely very clever engineering and preparation. It was the brains of the people involved. The regulation change was ostensibly made in the name of cost, but it was a tangible sign of the ever-present push to be better, faster, more reliable, and more competitive. It was also a signal to the rest of the field and any potential challengers.
As easy as it might be to blandly attribute Audi's success to a faceless German automated machine, the Audi effort was populated by colorful characters. Dr. Woflgang Ullrich always had a twinkle in his eye as he fielded questions from pit reporters during the race. He also generously stopped what he was doing briefly in pit lane on the morning of Le Mans to say hello – and did it with a big smile. Brit Howden "H" Haynes played the central figure in the Truth in 24 and made himself a celebrity in the sportscar world. Like Dr. Ullrich, he is the same person with the same affect as the person seen on screen and he easily made time to briefly chat about the misfortunes in practice for the 2014 race and subsequent repairs. Howden's protoge, fellow Brit Leena Gade, not only calmly stepped into his place when he departed Audi, but claimed victory on her own terms. When is the last time you saw a spectator banner at the racetrack that featured the name of an ENGINEER? Drivers, teams, countries – yes. But, an engineer? The power of the personalities at Audi, Audi's willingness to let them be the focus of attention, and their relentless desire to do no more than play their part in the team.
Ulrich Baretzky, the Head of Audi-Sport Engine Development and mad scientist of the engine department, has designed powerplants for almost every type of race car since starting at Audi in 1986 (and did quite a bit before that point as well). Like changes such as Diesel or not, Audi was at the forefront of hybrid and diesel technology along with a host of other technological developments. Another one with a twinkle in his eye, one wonders what ideas were tried in the lab but never made it to see the light of day. One can debate the beauty of the Audis – brutish in some years rather that beautiful – but the car clearly was always designed around the engine.
Reinhold Joest was well accomplished long before getting together with Audi. He was a successful driver, winning at daunting places like the Nurburging and the 24 Hours of Daytona. He never won LeMans as a driver, but drove the famous (infamous?) Porsche 917 Pink Pig at LeMans in 1971 so his name still adorns the flanks of the car as it sits on display in the Porsche museum. In total, Herr Joest has won the 24 Hours of LeMans a total of 15 times. That does not happen by accident. The purposeful, methodical, and logical approach to race preparation and execution is the product of experienced and wise leadership.
Americans could always look to Brad Kettler, a fixture in so many different roles in the Audi racing program over many years. Tom Kristensen – Mr. LeMans – is likely the sole reason for the Danish invasion at Le Mans each year. Allan McNish always proudly ran with the Scottish Hunting MacInnes tartan banner on his helmet. There is no question that the program always was for a German manufacturer with deep German roots, but the best and the brightest were sought regardless of the flag on their uniform.
In 2011, Audi endured two enormous crashes. Allan McNish's unsuccessful attempt to slice down the inside of a Ferrari GT car just after the Dunlop bridge rained Audi parts down on photographers and bystanders. A full wheel assembly bounced behind the barrier with suspension pieces still attached. Later in the same race, Mike Rockenfeller crashed at night in a big way and littered the track with debris in the fast run towards Indianapolis corner (ironically, also trying to pass a Ferrari GT car). There wasn't great video of the incident, but the magnitude was clear.
The looks of concern in the pit box and dampness in Dr. Ullrich's eyes betrayed the emotion of the moments. The emotion was palpable. Despite crashes that comprehensively destroyed both cars, both drivers walked away – an amazing testament both to the design of the cars and to the investment the team had in the men behind the wheel.
Even down two of their three bullets in the gun, Audi won the 2011 race in front of three Peugeots.
While we're talking about drivers, consider the roster of drivers that have worn the Audi rings in the prototype program. Yes, names like Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish come to mind easily. But think about names like Frank Biela, Didier Theys, Emanuele Pirro, Rinaldo Capelo and Michele Alboreto. Alboreto, the Italian former Ferrari F1 driver , sadly died in a 2011 testing crash at Lausitzring in an Audi R8.
Christian Abt, Laurent Aiello, and Stephane Ortelli ran in the early days of the program. Mike Rockenfeller, Timo Bernard, Romain Dumas, Loic Duval, Marcel Fassler, Benoit Treluyer, Lucas Di Grassi, Oliver Jarvis, Marc Gene, and Lucas Luhr came later.
The drivers individually were impressive and the Audi success helped them to establish their place in history, but the driver combinations were magic. Biela, Pirro, and Kristensen won three Le Mans races in a row. McNish, Capello and Kristensen won Le Mans, Sebring and others. Having fast drivers is one thing, but getting the combinations right and balancing the desire to be fast but to be a productive team-mate is an art. Somehow Audi did that consistently.
While customer cars weren't numerous, the factory team stepped aside in support of customer cars from teams like the American Champion team. Champion not only provided exposure in the United States, but it gave opportunities to drivers like Johnny Herbert, JJ Lehto, and Marco Werner who won LeMans overall in 2005. Stefan Johansson had several drives for Champion as well. Japan's Team Goh claimed their own LeMans title in 2004.
Audi's engineering behind the scenes (and drivers and other support) gave Bentley it's 1-2 finish in 2003 while customer teams followed in third and fourth. While it may have been a Bentley badging exercise, arguably the win and publicity gave Bentley road cars a strong push in its resurgence as a player on the luxury car market.
With so many moments and angles to choose from, it can be easy to overlook even those that attracted global attention at the time. Think back to 2014 when Porsche made its return to top-tier sportscar racing. Just before the race, Audi published a one minute Youtube video showing an Audi LMP prototype making its way from Ingolstadt, through the German countryside (passing a gentleman on a Porsche tractor – cheeky and subtle), into Stuttgart and stopping in front of the Porsche factory. Spinning tires created a haze of tire smoke but instead of circular donuts, the prototype spelled out "Welcome Back" on the pavement. Very classy. Excellent concept and choreography. Very clever use of social media. Interestingly, the message was also scrawled on the pavement in English rather than German, a clear acknowledgement of the global target for the message.
Of course, Audi had already learned the power of media multiplication through their support for Radio LeMans, and the twin Truth in 24 documentaries. The documentaries were spearheaded by Audi USA and gave birth to one of the iconic lines of the sport – "It always rains at Le Mans." John Hindaugh's commentary to millions of radio and internet listeners brought fans much closer to the sport and to the Audi story. His soundtrack for the movies told the story of the races. Just as Audi helped to support Radio LeMans, Radio LeMans helped to spread the word for Audi. A rising tide lifts all boats…
Books can be (and will be) written about the Audi era of prototype sportscar racing. Audi's place in history is unique and ought to be recognized. Should Audi be compared with Porsche? They both racked up overall wins, adapted with changes in technology, pushed the limits of development and sustained over a long period of time. Porsche perhaps wove a broader thread of influence throughout the grid by virtue of its more extensive customer program and its support of both prototype and GT classes at the same time.
Sadly, the complex nature of the modern-day prototype means that most Audi prototypes will never find there way into private ownership and historics racing. Some of the earlier Audi R8 models have indeed been sold and make periodic appearances, but like the Porsche RS Spyder, that was very likely the last model that will do so.
Arguably, Porsche's place in sportscar racing history is continually cemented and enhanced by vintage races and events like the Rennsport Reunion that celebrate the marque. Porsche has wisely supported such events as well. So many fans have been drawn to models like the 956 and 962 who never saw the models race in period. Audi is unlikely to have this kind of exposure for its racing heritage and its place in history will likely suffer for it.
So what's next for Audi? DTM and Formula E.
DTM is in shrinkage mode with the 2017 field paring back to 6 cars per manufacturer. DTM racing is popular and high tech (and has some crazy history), but is relatively focused on the German and European market. The races are sprint races for one driver rather than endurance races with multiple drivers.
Formula E is clearly the current favorite of European manufacturers given the focus on electric power as the future instead of internal combustion. The rules give some latitude for development, but the races are open wheel sprints on mostly tight street courses. It may be an unkind and biased assessment coming from an endurance sportscar fan, but it is difficult to see how Formula E has the potential to write history for Audi in a similar magnitude as sportscar racing. Audi will undoubtedly attack the series with its methodical way of doing business and may score success, so there is no reason think that they won't claim their share of headlines.
Does the R8 LMS platform continue? The GT3 customer program has certainly brought success on the track and for Audi's profit statement. Arguably, Porsche has always set the standard for customer GT racing, but Audi gave customers more choices and proved that a business case can be made. Mercedes sold over 100 SLS GT3 models and expects to sell a lot of AMG GT3 models further the point. Chatter of an R8 GT3 successor has been suspiciously quiet, so one wonders whether the customer Audi GT program is coming to an end (whether due to the VW emissions fines or otherwise). It would be a shame and diminish Audi's ability to make a more permanent mark in sportscar history.
We honor the results. We respect the effort, approach, dedication and passion. We respect the pace of technological development. We appreciate the exposure that Audi brought to the sport globally – not just at Le Mans. We enjoyed the interaction with the personalities and additional layers they added to the story on the track. We always feared the escalating budgets and the small number of players in the LMP class. We knew maintaining both the Porsche and Audi programs within the same corporate family was borrowing time. To invoke the cliche, we're thankful for the experience but sad that it is over. By any measure, Audi and all of the staff and drivers that wore the four rings as a part of the motorsports family should be proud of themselves.
Farewell Audi.

College Women's Self-Leadership Stereotypes as a Function of Prime Similarity and Motherhood Information
Susan Anne Basow, Department of Psychology, Lafayette College, Easton, USA
Emily Crawford, Department of Psychology, Lafayette College, Easton, USA
The goal of the study was to understand under what circumstances exposure to primes of women leaders can influence young women's implicit and explicit identification with leadership gender stereotypes. Previous research has emphasized the importance of perceived similarity in terms of personality traits; the current study explored whether adding information regarding the role models' motherhood status facilitated or impaired such models' inspirational potential. Eighty-seven college women in the U.S. participated in the 2 X 2 design in which fabricated feedback indicated whether participants' gendered personality traits were similar or dissimilar to six successful women role models, presented either as mothers or with no mention of mother status. As expected, exposure to the successful women leaders produced counterstereotypic implicit self-leader associations only in the similar mother-mentioned condition. That is, only the participants who were told they had similar traits to the women leaders who were mothers associated themselves with the agentic (counterstereotypical) traits of typical leaders. Explicit self-stereotypes were not influenced by either manipulation unless participants accepted the (false) feedback regarding (dis)similarity. Discussion emphasized the importance of perceived similarity as mediating the effectiveness of exposure to successful role models and the value of including information about the motherhood status of such models, at least for young women.

Blake Shelton's 'Bible Verses' Admits His Faults of Faith [Listen]
Angela Stefano
Angela Stefano Published: April 23, 2021

Blake Shelton's "Bible Verses" is a raw look at how faith can sometimes make you feel faulty. In the new song, released on Friday (April 23), the country star takes an honest look at his relationship with God's teachings, over a melody that doesn't try to cover anything up.
An acoustic guitar carries "Bible Verses, "written by Joe Fox, Andrew Peebles and Brett Sheroky, all new songwriters, per an email sent to media members. Despite their relative inexperience, Shelton calls the song "a masterpiece."
"No matter where you are in your faith, there are times you feel like you just don't measure up," the singer explains. Indeed, the song begins: "I ain't ever worn a halo / Don't suppose I ever will / As far as savin' me goes, it's a battle up a hill / But I keep climbin', tryin', fightin'."
"I keep prayin' for the day / That I can open up that Good Book / And Heaven don't look like it's out of reach / When it feels like those Apostles are givin' me the gospel and not the third degree," Shelton sings each chorus, listing some of his sins in the verses but still being gentle on himself. "I just want it to read like Bible verses and not the Bible versus me."
"'Bible Verses' is an honest take on that conflict," Shelton adds, "but, without preaching too much, it's hopeful that everything will all work out in the end."
"Bible Verses" is the 12th and final track on Shelton's forthcoming new album, Body Language. Due out on May 21, the record includes Shelton and fiancee Gwen Stefani's recent No. 1 hit "Happy Anywhere," his current single "Minimum Wage" and a title track that features The Voice alumni the Swon Brothers. All dozen songs are outside cuts; Shelton did not write or co-write any of them.
"We've been working on this album on and off for two years now, and I'm very proud of what we have put together. We certainly had some unique challenges with the pandemic, but we also had a lot of fun," Shelton said in a press release when announcing the album. "We explored new sounds while making sure to get in some classic country."
Shelton most recently released a new album in 2017 (Texoma Shore). In recent years, he'd suggested that he was perhaps done releasing full albums, though he did put some new songs on a compilation album, Fully Loaded: God's Country, in 2019.

Marketing mix of Morrisons (4Ps of Morrisons)
Fahim Shah Marketing Essentials
This is a detailed analysis of the marketing mix of Morrisons (4Ps of Morrisons). Morrisons is the 4th largest supermarket chain in the United Kingdom. However, it is closely followed by Aldi. Competition for the marker dominance is fierce; and therefore, it is extremely important for Morrisons to review its marketing strategy regularly.
Product strategies of Morrisons
Morrisons sells a wide variety of products. Its products are categorised into Meat & Poultry, Fish & Seafood, Fruit & Veg, Fresh, Bakery & Cakes, Food Cupboard, Frozen, Drinks, Beer, Wines & Spirits, Household, Home & Garden, Health, Wellbeing & Medicines, Toiletries & Beauty, Baby & Toddler, Toys & Entertainment, Pet Shop, Clothing, Free From, and World Foods (Morrisons, 2022). This wide categorization ensures that customers can find everything they want without needing to go somewhere else.
Morrisons takes the impact of its products on people and the environment seriously. For example, it is the first UK supermarket to sell its own branded fresh milk in carbon neutral cartons. Likewise, it often offers new products to address the desire of the consumers. For instance, it has introduced a huge new line of plant-based products to help consumers bring in plant-based foods in their diets.
Pricing strategies of Morrisons
The pricing strategy is a key component of the marketing mix of Morrisons (4Ps of Morrisons). Morrisons employs a 'permanently low prices' strategy. It also employs a competitive pricing strategy. This ensures that customers who want to buy groceries will continue to do so at Morrisons instead of another supermarket chain like Asda or Tesco, which can be more expensive in certain regions and categories.
In September 2021, Morrisons reduced the price of more than 400 grocery essentials by an average of 23% (Jefferson, 2022). While this strategy has certainly made many customers happy, it also led to further price wars with Tesco, and Asda. In addition, this slash is not enough to compete with renowned discounters Aldi and Lidl.
Place/Distribution channels of Morrisons
Morrisons has 497 stores across the United Kingdom making its products easily accessible to consumers. Its online delivery service covers over 97% of the UK postcodes (Morrisons, 2022). Online delivery service has helped it reach a wider range of customers across the country. Morrisons has an agreement with Amazon as well which enables Prime members to shop from 'Morrisons on Amazon' store with free delivery.
However, an investigation in Trustpilot shows that many customers are unhappy because of the missing items and unsuitable substitutes (Trustpilot, 2022). Morrisons needs to work on that to gain affected customers' confidence.
Promotion strategies of Morrisons
Promotion is the last component of this marketing mix of Morrisons (4Ps of Morrisons). Morrisons has a very good mix of social media and print advertising for customers to learn about its products. It also sponsors TV entertainment shows. Its campaigns are well-known for its use of beautiful images and features in different styles, fonts, and colours. However, approaching customers by focusing more on prices rather than convenience or quality could turn out to be more effective.
'My Morrisons', the loyalty card, has been very useful. The retailer has started offering customers instant money rather than points which they can spend immediately. It also offers discounts regularly in order to attract more customers.

VLOOKUP is one of the most popular Excel Functions.
But, it's one of the most limited functions as well.
...there are so many things which we can't do with VLOOKUP or they need to put some extra efforts to make it work.
For example, using VLOOKUP with multiple criteria.
By default, VLOOKUP allows you to lookup for a single value. But in a real world, there are some situations where we need to use two or more criteria.
Let's say you have a list of students for an entire school and from that list, you want to look up for a student whose name is "John" and who is in class IX.
There is a huge possibility that there could be more than one student whose name is "John". The best solution here is to combine two different criteria (name and class) to get the right value in return.
Today, in this post, we will explore the method for using multiple criteria with VLOOKUP.
Now, according to the above problem I have mentioned, we need to use two criteria as a lookup value in VLOOKUP.
For this, we need to do two adjustments which are easy and simple.
Here are the steps to insert a new column by join two criteria.
First of all, we need to add a new column.
After that, in the new column enter a formula to join name and class, just like below.
Now, drag the formula up to the last cell of the column.
Now, we have a single column in where we have combined two different criteria (name & class).
Now, the next thing is to combine two criteria in the lookup_value argument of VLOOKUP.
Here we want to use "John" and "Class-IX" and for this, we need to combine both using an ampersand in lookup_argument.
In the end, hit enter. And now, we have John's score who is in Class-IX.
The method of using combined criteria in VLOOKUP is simple. When we combine two columns into one it gives us unique values.
Just think this way, we have the name John three times in our data. But when we join names with their class we get a unique value for each name.
For example, JohnClass-IX, JohnClass-VI, and JohnClass-II. Now, there is no value is in duplicates.
In the same way, while specifying lookup_argument in VLOOKUP we have combined both of the criteria: name and class so that it returns the score for the right student i.e. John who is in class IX.
Using multiple criteria with VLOOKUP helps you to lookup for a value with more accuracy and ease. Just like we have done in above example.
And, the best part is that combining two different criteria is no big deal, it's simple and easy.
I hope you found this formula tip useful and it will help you in your work.
Now tell me one thing. Have you ever tried to add more than one criteria in VLOOKUP? Or, do you have any other method for this? Please share with me in the comment section, I would love to hear from you.
