For centuries, mindfulness has been used by Hindus, Buddhists, and other enlightened groups to help lower stress, increase wellbeing, and improve decision making. It's no surprise, therefore, that those looking to make smart dietary choices bring a similar mindful attitude to their food.
Eating can be an enjoyable experience, but too often it's done out of boredom, depression, or excitement. This often leads to weight gain, lethargy, and poor overall health.
A mindful approach to eating is one of the surest ways to control what you put in your mouth, especially if you make the eating mistakes mentioned above. Read on to discover what mindful eating is and how it can help you.
In a world where junk food now rules, it's all too easy to eat for the wrong reasons. Quick food and food laden with salt and sugar may be convenient and may taste good, but it certainly isn't good for you.
A mindful eater is one who is aware of these everyday-eating predicaments, and tries to do their best to avoid them. Instead of focusing on the benefits of fast food, they instead choose to focus on the positives of good food.
Mindful eating is all about eating with the intention of caring for yourself. While you make every attempt to make food taste as good as possible, you do this while remembering you're eating for fuel, not solely for pleasure. If you have certain emotions that govern your eating habits – emotions like stress or sadness, for example – the goal is to express these needs in healthy ways, rather than eat them into submission.
Most of us live our lives on autopilot. We go through our day never really thinking about what we're doing or why we're doing it. This means we think, feel and do a lot of unnecessary things.
Often, simply paying attention to what we're doing is enough to trigger a realization in us. When we're aware of our unhealthy habits, we're more likely to change them. A mindful eater is one who becomes aware of patterns. Once you're aware of a pattern, you have the opportunity to alter them if need be.
By becoming mindful of eating habits, we also become more mindful of the emotions that drive our eating. If we notice regular occurrences of negative emotion, we can work on that emotion once we know it's there.
The first step to eating mindfully is to realize that your body requires certain nourishment in order to function properly. It's vulnerable to the effects of life and poor eating, and so needs to be respected.

The first Brisbane ANZAC Day Parade took place on the 25 April 1916. While we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for a freedom during the Dawn Services and other services of Remembrance, the ANZAC Day Parade is an opportunity to celebrate and recognise all those that have served and still continue to serve our country. The parade will be held between 10:00am and 12:30pm. The parade will feature former and current veterans, their families and many other groups that contribute to the Parade that make it the commemoration worthy of its heritage. All Veterans and their families are encouraged to march and should contact their Ex-Service organisation in advance or head to the Information Tent on Queens Park at the junction of Elizabeth and George Streets or along George Street across from the junction with Charlotte Street to find a volunteer in red who will direct you to your form up point (FUP) in the march.
A committee comprising Ex-Service organisations of the Australian Defence Force and allies combine to organise the annual Anzac Day Parade in the Brisbane CBD. Primarily funded by State Government and City Council grants the Executive meet monthly and the Committee quarterly.

Una "'interfaz pública'  es el punto lógico en el que interactúan las entidades independientes de software. Las entidades pueden interactuar entre sí dentro de una sola computadora, a través de una red, o a través de una variedad de otras topologías. Es importante que las interfaces públicas sean estables y diseñadas para soportar cambios futuros, mejoras y depreciación para que la interacción continúe.

Diseño

 Orientación
 Un proyecto debe proporcionar documentos adicionales que describan los planes y procedimientos que se pueden utilizar para evaluar el cumplimiento del proyecto.
 Proporcionar un documento de diseño de la arquitectura.
 Proporcionar un documento de normas de codificación.
 Proporcionar un documento de plan de liberación de software.
 Proporcionar un documento con un plan para la depreciación de interfaces obsoletas.
 Crear clases completamente aisladas.
 Aísle las interfaces públicas de las dependencias en tiempo de compilación.
 Buenas prácticas
 Presentar conjuntos completos y coherentes de conceptos para el usuario.
 Diseño de interfaces para ser escritas de forma estática.
 Minimizar las dependencias de la interfaz en otras interfaces.
 Interfaces Express en términos de tipos de nivel de aplicación.
 Usar aserciones solo para ayudar al desarrollo y la integración.

Ejemplos
  'Interfaz de C ++'  Utilizar clases de protocolo para definir interfaces públicas.
 Las características de una clase de protocolo son:
 * No contiene ni hereda de clases que contienen datos de miembros, funciones no virtuales o miembros privados (o protegidos) de cualquier tipo.
 * Tiene un destructor virtual no-en línea definido con una implementación vacía.
 * Todas las funciones miembro distintas del destructor, incluidas las funciones heredadas, se declaran virtuales puras y no se definen.
  'Beneficios'  Los beneficios del uso de clases de protocolo incluyen:
 * Aislamiento de aplicaciones desde el cliente externo.
 * Los cambios de aislamiento que son internos a la interfaz.
 * Aislamiento de los cambios en la interfaz pública de los cambios a la implementación de la interfaz.
 * El aislamiento tiene costos, pero éstos tienden a ser superados por las ganancias en interoperabilidad y reutilización.
  'Costes' '':
 * Pasando por el puntero de implementación.
 * Adición de un nivel de indirección por acceso.
 * Adición del tamaño del puntero de implementación por objeto a los requisitos de memoria.

 Varias metodologías, tales como refactorización, apoyan la determinación de interfaces. La refactorización generalmente se aplica a toda la implementación del software, pero es especialmente útil para limpiar adecuadamente las interfaces.

DENVER, Colo, — The 2017 National Western Stock Show finished strong with the third highest overall attendance in stock show history at 684,580 visitors. The largest stock show attendance was in 2006 for the 100th Anniversary with 762,972 guests. The 2017 show reported a record-closing Sunday with 42,661 fans enjoying Guest Appreciation Day. "We are thrilled with the number of guests that came out to help us celebrate," said Paul Andrews, President and CEO of the National Western Stock Show. "These numbers are tremendous. Any time we see more than 650,000 people in 16 days, we are ecstatic."
The National Western Scholarship Trust is funded by three primary sources, and each source had a remarkable year. The Junior Livestock Auction had a record year, raising $912,750 with a percentage of the total going to fund the Scholarship Trust. The Citizen of the West dinner, honoring John C. Malone, sold out the Events Center arena floor. The Coors Western Art exhibit had a great year, and a portion of the proceeds fund the Scholarship Trust. All three of these events will produce enough revenue to fund a projected 80 scholarships throughout Colorado and Wyoming for students studying the fields of agriculture and rural medicine.
"The success of our show is due to the dedication and hard work of the National Western volunteers, the support of the city of Denver, the board of directors, our sponsor partners, the livestock and rodeo committees, and the amazing rodeo and stock show fans that come out every year to celebrate the western tradition we call the National Western Stock Show," Andrews said.

U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz testifies before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation in Washington, D.C., April 4, 2019. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Diana Sherbs)
Schultz: Budget Control Reducing USCG's Purchasing Power, Eroding Readiness
April 12, 2019 Bridget Johnson
Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz told the House Homeland Security Transportation and Maritime Security Subcommittee at a Tuesday budget hearing that the Coast Guard has "lost about 10 percent purchasing power in the last eight to 10 years under the Budget Control Act conditions."
Schultz described the Coast Guard to lawmakers as "a unique and enduring value proposition for the nation."
"We are deployed on any given day, support five of the six geographic combatant commanders whether it's drugs in the SOUTHCOM area, we've got, you know, the Antarctic, the Arctic with polar icebreakers, we're in the South China Sea, as you noted, with a National Security Cutter today. We domestically rescue more than 20,000 people on an annual basis. We have border security missions. We are a locally based domestic organization with global responsibilities and we have unique authorities," he said.
"I would say 11 statutory missions are tough to roll up in a three-line elevator speech. So we're a complex organization that brings a lot to the table. The '20 budget proposes some ability to bite into the eroding readiness that we suffered in recent years, the capital budget maintains momentum on our top priorities, that's maintaining momentum on the Polar Security acquisition, on the Offshore Patrol Cutter acquisition, those are our top priorities."
Schultz, who stressed that "new icebreakers will not come fast enough," anticipates awarding a contract for the polar icebreaker "probably in the next 30 to 45 days."
"It's an exciting time in terms of new capital assets for the Coast Guard with the Congress' and the administration's support," he said.
Where the Coast Guard has struggled in recent years is with the operating budget, Schultz noted, and that's why he's laboring "diligently to tell this story so people understand we're the fifth armed service."
"We're an armed service first and foremost every day, appropriately situated in the Department of Homeland Security, but with that sometimes the conversations that raise the bar about the armed services, we're not in that conversation. That's my job to make sure I communicate that narrative," he said.
The commandant warned that "after almost a decade of near flat-line operations and support funding, Coast Guard readiness is eroding just like the other armed services."
"Yet unlike the Department of Defense, the Coast Guard funding is categorized as non-defense discretionary, which means we were excluded from the focus efforts to rebuild the military and continue to find ourselves on the outside looking in when it comes to material operations and support plus-up's," Schultz said. "In 2017, the Department of Defense received a 12 percent boost in operations while the Coast Guard funding increased only 4 percent yet the Coast Guards military contributions are immutable. Every year we proudly spend over $1 billion on defense-related activities in direct support of the combatant commanders, but the $340 million of defense readiness monies that we receive has not changed in more than 18 years."
Purchasing power has declined, he stressed, adding that "if we continue to neglect our growing backlog of deferred repairs on our capital assets, including shore infrastructure, we will lose ground in the fight to defend our homeland from evolving threats and challenges across the nation."
Schultz reminded lawmakers that "critical investments in our marine inspections workforce and to our cybersecurity operations" are necessary to "build the capabilities that facilitate that $5.4 trillion of annual economic activity on our nations waterways and protect critical infrastructure."
"A dollar invested in the Coast Guard is a dollar well spent," he said.

iRealHousewives | The 411 On American + International Real Housewives: Denise Richards Skips Out Of RHOBH Season 9 Cast Trip Over California Wildfires, Eileen Davidson And Kyle Richards Give An Update On Their Homes Amid Woolsey Fire!
Many of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars have been affected by the Woolsey Fire, in particular Camille Grammer, Denise Richards and Eileen Davidson. Over the weekend, the 90210 ladies headed to France for their official cast trip.
Dorit Kemsley, Erika Girardi, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna and Teddi Mellencamp all headed out with the exception of Lisa Vanderpump, who allegedly refuses to film with her co-stars and Denise Richards and Camille Grammer due to the wildfires.
Denise decided to skip out of the trip since she had to evacuate from her home and wanted to stay behind to make sure her family, fur babies and home were safe. "We love our community #malibu so devastating... taking us hours to evacuate. Girls are safe," she wrote on her Instagram. "@aaronwilliamcameron & I trying to get out with our furry children. Be safe everyone... so emotional seeing the devastating loss of homes, families & animals"
Meanwhile, Denise confirmed via her Instagram that they were able to get all of her animals out safely from her ranch. "Exhausted, delirious, so grateful to get our fur babies out of our ranch & also able to help a rescue group with theirs.Thank you to all the firefighters & volunteers working tirelessly & helping all of us.. #woolseyfire @aaronwilliamcameron @alechaha_ @phypersbrett"
Meanwhile, James Woods revealed on Twitter a few days ago that Eileen Davidson's home was damaged due to the wildfires. "My buddy @VincentVanP_WPT lost his home in @CaliforniaFires yesterday. I connected with him. Family all safe. He's taking the loss of his home as well as can be expected."
However, the daytime soap actress gave an update on her home. "After living for 24 hours thinking we lost our house completely we found out yesterday that we only lost the yard around our house," shared Davidson. "Sweating it out for the next 48 hours and praying for everybody involved in this devastating and horrific fire. Love to all of you."
As for Kyle Richards,also gave an update via Instagram on her own house with husband Maurico Umansky on Instagram on Sunday in a comment about the fires, according to Us Weekly. "Our home is okay. Many friends have lost their homes. Absolutely heartbreaking," she wrote.
As previously reported, Camille shared the heartbreaking news via Instagram on Nov. 11 that her home burned down in the Woolsey Fire.
"Sadly my house couldn't be saved. The courageous firefighters were able to save my cars and personal items recovered from my home. I thanked the fire captain and his team of firemen for all of their hard work. He took the time to explain what happened and I'm grateful for all of their hard work trying to save my home. Sad we lost our home but grateful that my family is safe. Luckily we quickly evacuated our house yesterday after a patrol car drove up the street announcing mandatory evacuations. I'm grateful for my lovely neighbors and friends who kept me informed and for their help this evening. 🙏 Thank you all for caring," Camille wrote.
We are keeping everyone that's being affected by these horrific fires in out prayers.

Democrats won House midterms by largest margin since Watergate scandal, report says
WASHINGTON - Democrats won the popular vote in the House by the largest margins since the Watergate scandal and resignation of Republican President Richard Nixon, according to an analysis by NBC News.
The analysis found Democrats led Republicans in House races by a whopping 8.6 million votes in this year's midterms. NBC News reports that number is the largest margin that Democrats have defeated Republicans in a midterm House election since 1974.
That midterm race, shortly after Nixon resigned, allowed Democrats to win the popular vote by 8.7 million votes, NBC reported.
Some have made comparisons between the administrations of Trump and Nixon as special counsel Robert Mueller continues to examine the role of Russia in the 2016 election and whether the president attempted to obstruct justice and end the probe.
Nixon also resisted investigations after his administration attempted to distance itself with five men who broke into the Democratic National Committee's headquarters at the Watergate hotel.
The coverup led to Nixon's resignation from the presidency in 1974.

This year's midterms flipped nearly 40 seats, allowing Democrats to take control of the House and setting the stage for two years of confrontations with President Donald Trump when they take power in January.
Democrats are expected to leverage their new majority to wield Congress' oversight powers. They could demand Trump's tax returns, subpoena his Cabinet members and investigate suspected ties to Russia. And they can block the president's legislative priorities, whether it's funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border or curbing entitlement programs.
The election was also a historic one for women, people of color and the LGBTQ community. Female candidates spearheaded Democratic gains. At least 80 women had been elected to the House. Sixty-nine of the House women are Democrats, including 27 of 28 newcomers, according to a USA TODAY analysis.
Jared Polis was the first gay man to win a governor's race. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the youngest woman elected to Congress. Ayanna Pressley became Massachusetts' first black congresswoman. Minnesota's Ilhan Omar and Michigan's Rashida Tlaib became the first Muslim women elected to Congresss.

The pay of the fighters is the disclosed amount to the CSAC. The fighters likely were paid more than that when you include other bonuses and sponsor's pay.
· The pay was very, very high in contrast to even UFC fighters. For example, Matt Lindlad took home $100,000 more than Anderson Silva did for his fight on the same night.
· Fedor was grossly underpaid in comparison to other fighters. I thought he was making more than $1 million for this fight. Perhaps he is.
· Some fighters by this scale were still underpaid. I am shocked Nogueira only made $50,000, the same amount as Mike Whitehead.
· It will be hard for them to cover this financially. God thing they have Trump.
A disclosed total of $3,332,100 was paid out to the fighters.
I thought the fights were slow paced, but the last 3 fights were good as was the Nogueira fight and the Belfort fight.
Josh Barnett looked great. I know many people want to see Fedor vs. Couture next, and Randy was even brought into the ring to hype that fight, but Josh Barnett may be deserving of that fight. The next card may feature Barnett vs. Arlovski and Couture vs. Fedor with the winners squaring off on the third card.
Arlovski looked imrpessive as well. He looked better than he had previously in the last few fights in the UFC. His boxing looked crisp and good.
Vitor Belfort is back. He looked great at 185. I'd love to see Lindland vs. Belfort at 185. Affliction has said they will likely use the winners of these fights on their next card, that fight is very possible.
Congrats to Paul Buentello, Babalu, Matt Lindland, and Mike Pyle who also won as expected.
Apparently they sold out with over 13,000 people in attendance. The crowd was loud at times.
It seems that the Fedor vs. Sylvia fight will be for a Heavyweight title. Most belts outside the UFC mean very little, but this would be prominent because Affliction is stacked at Heavyweight. Perhaps this would also be for the top heavyweight spot. I don't know if a win makes Sylvia the best heavyweight, in fact I think it makes Randy Couture the best heavyweight, but Sylvia is up there win or lose. Also the Affliction: Banned card is shaping up nicely. Recently a middleweight bout has been added between Vitor Belfot and Terry Martin.
at tomorrow's Affliction press conference in Manhattan, Donald Trump will be announcing that former UFC heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski, has officially signed with the upstart promotion. The Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization and the Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump, Michael D. Cohen, confirmed the news with MMARated.com.
It has long been rumored that Arlovski would be facing Ben Rothwell on the inaugural Affliction card but Mr. Cohen would not officially comment on when "The Pit Bull" would be making his debut. We should, however, find out more tomorrow.
"Everything that Donald Trump does is the biggest and the best and the "Afflcition: Banned" show will be just that.
Obviously, following that they do not have much competiton in the other weight classes. Also, we may wonder how many possible match-ups can they have with 8 Heavyweights. They do have some solid big guys, they have 6 top ten type fighters in the world. I expect that they sign more fighters as time goes on. The age and mileage on the guys they have is a worry for me, but the July 19th fights ought to be good and we ought to see not only good Affliction match-ups, but also good inter-promotional match-ups. Affliction could make the Couture vs. Fedor fight happen. Affliction could utilize other guys as well from organizations willing to work with others like EliteXC, Strikeforce, DREAM, and IFL. With the Donald on their side Affliction instantly became a competitor with the UFC in the likeness of PRIDE. They will attract fighters on the promise of better pay and better treatment as well as flexibility to work with other promotions. I don't look for Affliction to flop quickly.
Fedor: Universally ranked as the best heavyweight in the world, but refuses to fight top level competiton. Sylvia will be the best guy he has fought in a while. He could be the best heavyweight in the world, but he hasn't proven it yet.
Sylvia: Lost to Nogueira and Couture. Is probably past his prime and when he gets on the ground he is done for. He is over the hill.
Lindland: More interested in politics then fighting now, and that is not an insult. He is still a top 10 middleweight, but he isn't going to be forever.
Arlovski: Has been fairly boring in his last few fights. He isn't the Arlovski of old.
Belfort: Way past his prime. Still can probably fight though.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Aleksander Emelianenko: In the shadow of their brothers. Both are good and maybe underrated, but neither are their brothers.
Okay, so their guys will win fights. Some are top ten guys for now, but the fact is they won't be for much longer. These guys are all on borrowed time. Perhaps Affliction will attract more fighters and compete well with the UFC, but right now they are nothing more than the sernior circuit of MMA. Go ahead sign the MMA stars of five years ago. Go sign Cro Cop and Ortiz. You may put one some good cards and make some money. I will watch and see some good fights, but I am not watching to see the stars of MMA, I am watching because I am nostalgic. If Affliction wants to do great it needs to develop talent. These guys they have signed are just a band aid and will keep them going for a while, but not forever.

UFC Fight Island Slated For June
FightPost: MMA & Boxing News	MMA	 25th Apr 2020 1 Minute
By Ross Markey
The UFC is pushing full steam ahead with their plans for, 'Fight Island' – with infrastructure in place for events to be hosted on a private island as early as June.
Events are expected to take place on the island, with the promotion's Octagon situated on a beach. Hotels will also be provided for fighters to stay in ahead of the events expected to take place. Promotional president, Dana White revealed the news to ESPN reporter, Brett Okamoto.
"We really are putting an Octagon on the beach," White said. "There's going to be training facilities there for people. There are hotels, and all the infrastructure is going to be built for the UFC to have fights there."
Earlier on Friday evening, White explained how the organisation will field four events between May 9th and May 23rd with UFC 249, an event on May 13th and May 16th, scheduled to take place at the VyStar Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
The promotion also hopes to return to the UFC Apex facility in 'Sin City' for a pay-per-view event on June 6th., however, those plans are tentative at the time of writing, with the Nevada State Athletic Commission yet to approve the event.
Okamoto further explained how, "once things go back to normal, Fight Island will likely get retired."
The promotion was forced to shelve plans to feature UFC 249 on April 18th, amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic – after it's expected occurrence at the Tachi Palace Resort Casino in Lemoore, California. UFC 249 has since been rescheduled for May 9th and is headlined by an interim lightweight title meeting between surging contenders, Tony Ferguson, and Justin Gaethje.

McDonald's and one of its franchises agreed to a $700,000 settlement in a lawsuit claiming that it falsely advertised some of its food as halal.
Ahmed Ahmed, a Muslim man from Dearborn Heights, alleged that the chicken sandwich he ordered from the McDonald's on Ford Road in Dearborn in September 2011 did not meet Islamic dietary standards, despite the franchise's advertisements that it sells Halal chicken.
McDonald's and Finley's Management Co, which owns the franchise, agreed on January 18 to pay the $700,000, which will be split between Ahmed, his lawyers, a health clinic in Detroit and the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn. McDonald's and Finley's deny any liability, but say the settlement is in their best interest.
Ahmed's attorney, Kassem Daklallah, alleges that after the restaurant ran out of Halal chicken, it sold non-Halal chicken.
Ahmed and Daklallah carried out an investigation after Ahmed's early suspicion, and say they found that the restaurant had sold non-Halal food masquerading as Halal food "on many occasions." The two filed a class action lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court in November 2011.
Daklallah and Ahmed believe McDonald's was negligent, but not necessarily that it was attempting to deceive its customers.
Finley's said it has a strict procedure for preparing and serving Halal food, with "Halal-only areas" in its restaurant.
This is only a preliminary deal, and the details, such as how to split up the money, will be worked out at the final hearing on March 1.
The class action suit is on behalf of any customers who bought products advertised as Halal from September 2005 to January 18, 2013. The two sides agreed to give the money to community-based organizations and charities that will benefit that group of people.

Residents at Rosendael in Broughty Ferry have helped to launch a book about Scottish Veterans Residences. The book was launched by SVR's Chairman, Major General Mark Strudwick CBE with the help of ex-service people of all ages who live at Rosendael, including veterans of World War Two and many more recent conflicts.
Major General Strudwick, former head of the Army in Scotland said: "SVR is a unique organisation. It helps veterans in need regardless of age, for as long as the need is there. A third of our residents are under the age of 45 and this year we have helped 19 veterans back into mainstream housing, as well as housing over 150 in our residences in Dundee and Edinburgh".
The book tells the stories of some of SVR's residents: from having tea with Rudolph Hess to surviving the attack on the Sir Galahad in the Falklands. It also contains a fascinating account of the founding of the charity by two officers in the Seaforths. One day in Edinburgh in 1910 they were taken to a shed in the city where veterans who had fought in places like Khandahar and Balaclava were seeing out their days lying on straw on the floor. Poor, hungry and unkempt.
They did not rest until the funds had been raised to open a Veterans Residence at Whitefoord House in Edinburgh. Rosendael in Dundee became the second residence in 1933 when the Kyd family left their mansion house to the charity in memory of Frank Proctor Kyd who was killed at The Somme in 1916 at the age of 28.
Over 60,000 veterans have been helped by SVR in the last one hundred years and we are determined to uphold the founders' determination to ensure that no veteran in Scotland is homeless.
Copies of the book are available from SVR, please contact us.


I looked at those cages...certainly afordable. But would they be warm enough? seems as if it would be very drafty since they are all mesh. And what anout this snalt jazz is blowing all over the glass of the current tank ? would that wash of fthe mesh or just make a nasty mess ?


Focus on your best customers is something I hear a lot and especially so when times are hard. The mantra moves from acquisition is everything to retention is all. Typically, someone notices that key metrics – net new customers, cost per sale, etc – are deteriorating. While the acquisition process hasn't changed, the quantity or quality of the customers being acquired has – for the worse.
Yet they carry on doing more of the same but expect different results. Eventually realising that more of the same hasn't worked, companies switch the conversation entirely to focus on developing current customer relationships. I believe you should think about loyalty before you need to rely on a loyal customer base. Two metrics come into play: retention rate and the number of sales per customer.
How do you encourage retention? Well, you could throw new products at the target market. That's expensive and few companies or sectors are set up for constant innovation. Another obvious route is to drop your prices. A great short-term method for retaining business, but it also affects short-term value and could destroy your business model over time.
It is hard to change the retention rate in the short term, so can we increase the number of sales we make from each loyal customer? If the best you can expect is for them to repeat-purchase what they have bought before, then you'll never grow your business. For that you need new customers.
The only practical metric most businesses can influence is the average sale value.
You can do this by encouraging the customer to add beyond their main purchase ("Do you want fries with that?"), or bundling (eg, buy 18 months' insurance and pay only for 15).
Of course, the cross-sell needs to be appropriate, it needs to be credible, and you must be able to deliver. Get it right and you encourage 'loyalty' in the best sense – that is, customers giving you more money for providing more of what they want, today.
So forget about improving what is tough and won't be quick to implement. Instead, focus on short term cross-sell and up-sell opportunities within your current customers and rebuild your acquisition programme, which is where your long-term profit lies.
Of course, everyone knows it costs more to get a new customer than to retain one, but it's tragic if you fail to even get the new customer in the first place.

Joining MojoTech by way of Wisconsin.
It has been three weeks since I joined MojoTech, so it's about time that I officially introduce myself.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, so this is my first time living on the East Coast. My first impression of Providence has been overwhelmingly positive (setting aside the lack of air conditioning in my apartment). The city is able to feel vibrant and energetic yet quiet and peaceful. I am pleased to find that traffic on the East Coast is not in a perpetual state of gridlock and that milk is as cheap as it was in the Midwest. I am looking forward to exploring the city and taking a few trips around the area.
I like to get outside and relax with a variety of activities, including ultimate frisbee, jogging, and bouldering. I enjoy working with my hands and would like to spend more time building furniture if I can find a workspace. It has been a few years since I've really been into video games, but I'm sure that I could be talked into a game or two. I also like to cook and bake when I can find the time (and motivation) to do so.
As far as software is concerned, I started teaching myself after graduating from college with a degree in economics. This is my first professional software development position, but my other experiences include making some simple games using SDL (a C++ library), an attempt at fixing bugs in the WINE open source project, and a Node.js application that involved reimplementing the interface to an online RPG in order to reduce clicks and give myself a competitive advantage.
I came to MojoTech to learn and improve as a developer, and with so many fresh, modern technologies in use, I have had no shortage of opportunities to do so. Everybody has been happy to help with any problems or questions that I have had. I am excited to get up and running as quickly as possible and have no doubt that I am working at the right place with the right people.

Depression and Anxiety Improve after Surgery
Eliminating depression - in a very
physical sense; © Picture Disk
The study found that the rate of depression and anxiety disorders decreased by more than 50 percent up to two years after the surgery. People who no longer experienced any seizures after surgery were even more likely to be free of depression and anxiety.
"For people with refractory epilepsy, studies show that depression is more likely to affect their quality of life than how often they have seizures or how many drugs they have to take," said study author Orrin Devinsky, MD, a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology with the New York University School of Medicine.
The study involved 360 people in seven U.S. epilepsy centres who were undergoing epilepsy surgery to remove the area of the brain producing the seizures. Epilepsy surgery is generally reserved for those whose seizures cannot be adequately controlled by medication. The majority of participants had surgery on the brain's temporal lobe. The participants' mental health and any symptoms of depression and anxiety were evaluated before surgery and at three follow-up visits.
Prior to the surgery, 22 percent of the participants met the criteria for a diagnosis of depression, compared to nine percent two years after the surgery. For anxiety disorders, 18 percent met the criteria for a diagnosis before the surgery, compared to ten percent two years after the surgery.
Of those who had no seizures following surgery, eight percent met the criteria for depression, compared to 18 percent of those who still had some seizures after surgery. For anxiety, eight percent of those who were seizure free had depression, compared to 15 percent of those with ongoing seizures.
"Removing dysfunctional areas of the brain may be critical," Devinsky said. "Whether the benefit comes from reducing or eliminating seizures or other effects is not clear. People may also be benefiting from a fewer fear of seizures, higher activity levels and a lessened burden from medications."

"Reservists give up their spare time to serve in the Reserve Forces, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them, they would be ready to serve as part of the military.
The Reserve Forces make up approximately one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel and as such are integral to protecting the nation's security at home and overseas, particularly providing capability in specialist areas such as medical and cyber.
However, the contribution they make to our Armed Forces often goes unrecognised. As such an annual Reserves Day was created to highlight and recognise the valuable contribution Reservists make to our Armed Forces.
In 2017, Reserves Day is being celebrated on Wednesday 21 June."
The National Museum of the Royal Navy currently has two employees at its Portsmouth Historic Dockyard site who are members of the Army Reserves. Lance Bombardier Cribb, who works in Public Events and Musician Sanders, who works in the fundraising department.
Lance Bombardier Marcus Cribb, currently serves with 295 (Hampshire Yeomanry) Battery, Royal Artillery, based in Portsmouth. He has been in the Army Reserves (previously TA for seven years) but only transferred to the Royal Artillery 18 months ago. Since then he has qualified as a Stormer Driver and High Velocity Missile operator, meaning he can both drive and fire the Army's tracked air defence weapon.
He says "I chose the Royal Artillery because they are a local unit with a strong heritage to Portsmouth. The role is an extremely technical one and we have colleagues deployed to Estonia and the Falklands in similar jobs. We are a relatively newly-formed unit and have a great sense of camaraderie, with brilliant opportunities to ski, snowboard and travel along with a wide programme of training. In the last year I was chosen to represent the unit driving the Colours past Her Majesty The Queen as part of the celebrations of 300 years of the Royal Artillery. I'd say the confidence, organisation and leadership I have learnt I use daily at work"
Musician Hannah Sanders is currently in the Army Medical Service reserve band based in Sandhurst, Camberley. She has been in the Armed forces for nearly four years and has been in the Army Reserves for 18 months after transferring from the Royal Marines Band service. She does various events with the Reserve band ranging from quintet dinners at various venues to marching band parades and concerts. She says "After I left the Royal Marines Band service I still very much wanted to keep playing and also keep myself involved with the military so I chose the Army Reserve. The band I am with is fantastic and ranges from former regular military musicians to everyday roles such as teachers. I do give up a lot of weekends and evenings but it's a great way to still keep that link with the Armed Forces family and I have the best of both worlds so it's certainly worth it!"
It is important to them to mark the day as often Reservists' service and sacrifice goes unmarked. They are both working on Armed Forces Day on Saturday 24th June. Hannah is playing with her band at the Armed Forces parade in Hungerford and Marcus is organising the event at the Historic Dockyard's free event which is open from 10am until 5pm, with a performance from the Royal Marine School of Music at 1pm and a RAF Chinook flypast at 2.30pm. There will be military personnel, veterans, and vehicles on display all day, along with hands-on activities and games outside and in Action Stations. Though this is a free event, tickets are available to visit the world famous attractions on site.

January is almost over and it seems like everyone is scrambling lately, getting up to speed after the holidays and getting everything in gear while they're all motivated and resolution-y. So, I'll keep it brief, because I'm also in this camp, but I did want to touch on some things that caught my eye.
Photo courtesy of Ceado, click through for more info on the grinder.
In what appears to be the first major sign of the commercial manufacturers taking notice of the home-focused single dosing market, Ceado has a "new" grinder out aimed at single dosers. I put "new" in quotes because the E37S has been out for a number of years now and this largely looks like a modified version, incorporating mods home users have been performing on commercial grinders for single dosing for years, and calling it a new model. The grinder incorporates a dosing bellow to smack and push any grinds through the grinds path, a removable chute cover to knock out, a-la Kafatek Monolith, a metal dosing cup, a-la EK43 / Niche Zero, and includes an RDT sprayer and WDT tools.
At it's core, I should really be pretty pleased with this; the E37S, with 83mm flat burrs has been a well regarded performer that is extremely quiet and well built, and now you can get it ready for single dosing! They have improved the grind adjustment mechanism by switching to a (semi-bulky) worm gear adjustment with lock knob, which should be very intuitive to operate, and added a pulse button for topping off your dose.
Where I am turned off about this, and I suppose many of the other single dosers, is how much extra prep work this grinder entails with all its add-ons, which appear to be more well refined home modifications than refined new design. Price point is still undisclosed, but I'm anticipating that this may provide a solid motorized option under $2,000. The original E37S was extremely quiet and fast, so this should be a more attainable Monolith alternative and/or sit in between the Niche Zero and Kafatek / Versalab M3 territory.
In what has become a perennial favorite, the Flight of Fancy from Populace Coffee is currently live, and close to shipping, with a chance to win a trip to origin in Guatemala this year. Populace has been doing the Flight of Fancy for a few years now, and it's really a pretty cool to have an interactive and connected coffee-community experience in a world that can otherwise be quite isolated and personal. Those that order this $35 package will receive four unmarked coffees and a map of eight potential origins. Participants (contestants?) then need to examine, grind, brew, cup, sip, contemplate the correct origins of each of the coffees for a chance to win the grand prize, a trip to Guatemala with Populace and Onyx' green coffee team. There are plenty of other prizes available, and even if you don't win, it's still a really fun exercise to complete and learn. Purchase your ticket for the Flight of Fancy for $35 from Populace Coffee Here.
Did you receive an espresso machine for Christmas or are you contemplating entering the world of espresso machines with a single-boiler dual use unit like the Gaggia Classic or Rancilio Siliva? I recently started visiting Reddit on a daily basis, and subscribed to r/espresso where there have been a number of questions regarding usage of SBDU machines like the Gaggia Classic lately, so I thought I would do a shameless plug here for one of my first postings which is a very comprehensive, step-by-step workflow guide of making drinks with the Gaggia Classic. This long time staple and common entry point into the home game has been updated and improved, incorporating some of the modifications users used to make themselves for 2019. So, if you're trying to figure out how to use your SBDU machine, are thinking of getting into the game, or are new to espresso in general, give it a read.
How To / Step by step instructions for making coffee with a Gaggia Classic (or Single boiler, dual use) home espresso machine.
When @detailersdomain does a giveaway they go big!! Huge thanks to Phil and crew for all this awesome product! I might have to find my cars (and time) to try all this stuff out!
In a similar vein to the Flight of Fancy, Detailer's Domain is now offering the 18th edition of their beloved Mystery Box. For $34.99, you will receive a minimum of $50 worth of auto detailing products with the chance to receive items worth hundreds of dollars. Not really geared towards those looking for specific products, but if you like a gamble and trying out new and unexpected stuff, this is a pretty fun way to do it. I recently received a Mystery Box of sorts from Detailer's Domain; they did a giveaway on Instagram of their open bottle and test products and I received a ton of cool new stuff to try out. Some I needed, some I don't, and some I'm looking forward to trying. Phil and crew at DD are great people, run a high quality operation, and always carry the good stuff, so I'm happy to give them a bit of a shout out here, and it's pretty safe to say that you're bound to get some goodies. Purchase while supplies last for $34.99 here.
** One of the difficult parts of writing posts like this, #thesubregister, and whatsCTpulling, are that sometimes things I'm using, recommend, or find sell out between the time of writing and the time the post goes live. This is one of those unfortunate times as I woke up this morning (1/30), and learned these are no sold out. Be sure to follow Detailer's Domain on instagram or subscribe to their newsletter to get in on the next one.
Click through to the Blamo! Podcast site.
Because the Mystery Boxes from Detailer's Domain sold out, and because I started to listen to this podcast this morning and enjoyed it so much, I'm including it as a last minute addition to this month's roundup. Eric Wind is a pretty interesting guy that I first discovered through his posts in the early days of Hodinkee where he had a great weekly column called Bring A Loupe that featured interesting watches for sale of all price points, from all avenues, and also provided really great information on what made them interesting and what to look for. It is, however, Eric's excellent article on the History of the original Heuer Carrera, that really made me follow him more closely, and ultimately end up even asking him for advice before I purchased my own.
I think what makes me such an Eric Wind fanboy is his genuine interest and passion that comes across through his writing, and his overall Midwest down to earth humility and overall nice guy persona. It also helps that he happens to favor a lot of the same watches that I really love. None of this is news to those that follow the watch industry closely, but what I like about this podcast so far (I'm halfway through), is that it gives some of his impressive educational background and story, and provides a glimpse as to what it takes to do what he does, which certainly appears far more glamorous from the outsider's (instagram) perspective. Eric now has his own business, Wind Vintage, where he specializes in sourcing great watches for discerning clients.
Enough oozing though, I enjoyed that this podcast host allows Eric the space to share his story, and it's always fascinating to get an inside look at what makes these types of people tick, (bad watch pun semi-unintentional) since I'm always fascinated by how people got to where they are, especially in a case like this where Eric was on a path towards public service. Give it a listen wherever you find your podcasts or hit the link to Blamo! here.
That's it for month one of 2019. I have a post covering espresso equipment I would recommend for the common $1500 price point in the works, and have been drinking some really tasty coffees as well. Be sure to tune into instagram live on Sundays for #sprosunday live, where I pull an espresso shot live, and try and hit a different topic each week of the process and my approach. As always, thanks for reading, and if you have any suggestions, or would like to see something included, please reach out.


Starting an organization that is going to import goods or services into the UK can be tough in these competitive times but knowing the range of eu countries that observe vat may help reduce costs Vatcontrol.com/vat/. You may easily be in a position to track tax systems which are a lot like your while claiming vat refunds for previously paid vat abroad.
There are many countries from the eu which adhere to the system of vat. Although the language used in the vat invoice might differ in addition to vat rates, the system followed is almost the same www.vatcontrol.com/vat/. This list of countries within the EU that have adopted the system of vat are Estonia, Denmark, Bulgaria, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, Austria, Netherlands, Greece, Germany, France, Romania, Malta, Lithuania, and Cyprus. Some territories in this list of eu countries have however opted to remain out from the vat gambit. You can visit the hmrc vat or hm revenue and customs website to find out about such territories.
One major advantage that you have when importing goods from such eu countries is any vat that you might have paid in the particular country may be refunded to your account by that country once you file for a vat reclaim. This process can be handled by a professional vat agent that has offices in the UK along with other countries from which your imports take place . Moreover, if you have attended trade shows inside a eu country and have paid vat for the same then such vat amounts can also be recovered back. This vat refund can surely help shore up your business net profit while suitably lowering your product costs.
Should you hire an expert vat, customs duties, and excise duties agent then that agent can also help calculate sales vat rates as well as file your vat returns in the stipulated time frame. Vat rates in the UK range between 17.5% for standard vat rates to 5% for reduced vat rates to zero vat rates for specific services and products. There's also specific products and services that are vat exempt. The hmrc website provides a detailed set of such services and products which are split up into 14,000 classifications.
To be able to claim a vat refund you will need to preserve and submit all original vat documents together with your vat certificate too. While procedures and language in various countries might pose problems, a vat agent amply trained in various vat systems should be able to recover your hard earned cash back into your bank account. Additionally, there are different time limits within eu countries for filing for a vat reclaim and therefore having an in-depth understanding of eu vat and uk vat rules will definitely provide a distinct advantage to both you and your business.
If you wish to import services or goods to the UK then opting for eu countries that follow vat would offer several distinct advantages. Knowing the listing of eu countries that follow vat can certainly help save money and also offer simplicity of operation as the system for paying and collecting vat will be the same in most these countries.

So, Moms (and Dads)– as we get ready to send our babies back to school – let's look at our habits and the shape of our hearts. Are we ready – soul ready – for what's to come? Appointments, commitments, homework, after school activities…fill in the blank – it's going to come at us from so many directions.
Will we flip out? Will we say things that we probably shouldn't say? Will we feel weary? Will we feel fear and anxiety? Probably…we will probably feel all of it! But what if we can look at our current habits and see where they may need some tweaking? What habits do we have – right now – that are weighing us down? Can we hand them over. Surrender them? Understand though - that surrender isn't giving up. It's just giving it over. Hand over what is weighing us down so that maybe we can wear a new habit? A new habit that has us running to Him instead of hiding in fear?
How did Jesus do life? How did He manage all the things thrown at Him?
How can we see things through His lens – and not our own distorted one?
This week – enjoy a sneak peek of Chase THE Light 2017 – and hopefully, with this sneak peek…we will begin to create new habits before all the demands come at us and try to knock us down.
Stand firm in His Light and there is no way we can fail.
Today, ask God to reveal the habits that are weighing you down. What are you chasing to fill you?

RED RAIDERS
Tech football notebook: Wilson's ascent highlights freshman offensive line class
HOUSTON — Preston Wilson started nine games at center this season for Oklahoma State, bringing his career starts total to 21. Preston might not be the last of the Wilsons to anchor a Big 12 offensive line.
This fall at Texas Tech, Sheridan Wilson has made quite an impression on offensive line coach Stephen Hamby. The Argyle graduate has yet to play in a Tech game, but late in the season he moved to No. 2 center on the depth chart, which is notable for a true freshman.
"He's surprised me more than anybody in a freshman class in a long time," Hamby said after the Red Raiders' Christmas Day practice for the Texas Bowl, "so it's very exciting to see what he's able to do."
Wilson's listed by Tech at 6-foot-5, 285 pounds. His future might not be in 2023. The Red Raiders just added transfer Rusty Staats, the starting center on back-to-back nine-win bowl champions at Western Kentucky. He'll be a sixth-year college player next season, and Tech coach Joey McGuire said Saturday that Staats will be the first option when spring practice starts with this year's starter, Dennis Wilburn, moving to right guard.
But when Wilson's time comes, the Red Raiders will have confidence in him.
"You don't see him do anything outside of working on football," Hamby said, "and he takes it takes it very, very seriously. Once we realized he could snap and he has a big enough body to train, it was an easy, easy input."
Jon Wilson, the brothers' father, was a four-year starter under Pat Dye at Auburn.
Both Wilson brothers came into their college programs at other line positions. Preston Wilson started a combined 12 games at left guard, right guard and right tackle the past two years at Oklahoma State before taking over at center this season. When Tech signed Sheridan Wilson last winter, McGuire said he was a tackle who could move inside to guard, but he didn't mention center.
Hamby said he's picked it up because "he's a football guy" and one who "eats, sleeps and breathes football."
Now Wilson is working on game prep with the first and second units. The other true freshmen offensive linemen, like most true freshmen offensive linemen, are on the scout team.
When Wilburn had to exit a practice to have medical staff attend to a cut, Hamby said, Wilson "came in and ran with the ones (first unit), and we don't see a whole big difference.
"So the future is super bright for him."
Behind the moves
Come spring, Tech plans to switch starting tackles Caleb Rogers and Monroe Mills, Rogers going from the left side to the right and Mills going from the right side to the left.
Hamby cited multiple reasons: Rogers started all 13 games last season at right tackle, and Mills has been consistent in his first season at Tech and spent time training at left tackle at Oklahoma State, his previous college stop.
"That's kind of the thought process," Hamby said. "Let's put Caleb back at his natural position over at right and move Monroe over to left.
"Plus, we have all right-handed quarterbacks, so we'll put the biggest anchor (Mills) out there. He's a hillbilly, but he's country strong now."
Two young linemen Hamby has praised highly, guard Jacoby Jackson and tackle Ty Buchanan, have gotten their first career starts this season — five for Jackson, one for Buchanan. Both are redshirt freshmen.
Hamby said the next steps for Jackson are gaining maturity and playing at a high level for longer stretches. To do that, he needs to put mistakes behind him.
"If he can get out of his own head," Hamby said, "he's going to be one of the best players that's ever come through here. But at that (age), you really don't know how to — like coach McGuire says, what's in between your ears — how to get rid of that. Once he gets rid of that, we're talking about a really, really good player."
Whereas Jackson is massive at 6-6 and in the neighborhood of 340 pounds, Hamby's been wowed by Buchanan's athletic ability and flexibility.
"When he actually uses his hands and locks you down, it's pretty impressive for a vegetarian," Hamby said, alluding to Buchanan's diet. "He still has freakish, freakish athleticism and once it all clicks it's going to be a problem for the rest of the nation, honestly."
Williams, Matthews return
Starting cornerback Rayshad Williams and backup linebacker Tyrique Matthews were in pads and full participants during the segments of Sunday's practice open to the media at Rice's indoor facility.
Williams, recovering from a strained groin muscle, and Matthews, recovering from a strained calf, are probable for the Red Raiders' Texas Bowl date Wednesday against Mississippi, McGuire said.
Both were running on the side and not in pads Saturday for the Red Raiders' first on-site practice in Houston.
Practice visitors
A number of high-school coaches attended Tech's Christmas Day workout. Among them, Tech associate head coach Kenny Perry noted, were Jon Kay, head coach of five-time state champion Galena Park North Shore, and a couple of coaches he knows from two-time state champion Argyle.
"Joey's done a good job of letting the whole state of Texas understand that we're a high-school-based program," Perry said, "and those guys are always welcome to come out. Seeing those guys out here on Christmas Day is pretty special."

Рамон Вега (,  14 червня 1971, Ольтен) — швейцарський футболіст іспанського походження, що грав на позиції центрального захисника, зокрема, за клуб «Грассгоппер», а також національну збірну Швейцарії.

Клубна кар'єра
Народився 14 червня 1971 року в місті Ольтен. Вихованець футбольної школи клубу «Грассгоппер». Дорослу футбольну кар'єру розпочав 1990 року в основній команді того ж клубу, в якій провів шість сезонів, взявши участь у 156 матчах чемпіонату. Більшість часу, проведеного у складі «Грассгоппера», був основним гравцем захисту команди.

Влітку 1996 року перейшов до італійського «Кальярі», а вже за півроку, на початку 1997 року, став гравцем англійського «Тоттенгем Готспур». Провів у лондонській команді чотири роки, здебільшого як гравець ротації.

Першу половину 2001 року провів у шотландському «Селтіку», у складі якого здобув свій єдиний у кар'єрі трофей — титул чемпіона Шотландії 2000/01.

Згодом відіграв по сезону за «Вотфорд» і «Кретей» у других лігах відповідно Англії і Франції, після чого завершив професійну ігрову кар'єру.

Виступи за збірну
1993 року дебютував в офіційних матчах у складі національної збірної Швейцарії. Протягом кар'єри у національній команді, яка тривала 4 роки, провів у її формі 23 матчі, забивши 1 гол.

У складі збірної був учасником чемпіонату Європи 1996 року в Англії, де взяв участь в усіх трьох іграх групового етапу, який швейцарці подолати не змогли.

Is there any possibility for the Reborn game on mobile platforms?
My save file is frozen. What should I do?
How can I find my save file?
Can I have multiple save files?
How do I load a backed up save file?
My game is really laggy on the overworld; how do I fix this?
I have a mac. How am I supposed to play Reborn?

The game says 'RGSS player has stopped working' whenever the program is loaded. Why?
Can I have the PBS files?
I'm making my own game-- can I use some of Reborn's resources?
Can I download past episodes of the game?
I have a problem that's not listed here. What should I do?
- When can I expect the next release?
As a policy we do not do release dates or estimates. The episode is always released when it is ready. However, you can check how close the episode is to completion and read about progress on our Development Blog here!
- How do I update the game?
- Is there any possibility for the Reborn game on mobile platforms?
Unfortunately not. The custom scriptset the game uses is entirely incompatible with any android emulators/programs.
- My save file is frozen. What should I do?
Roll back to one of the automatically-saved back-up files. You will lose some progress, but this is an immediately solution. If your save file becomes corrupted it is also the only way to get it back.
Post your save file in the Un-stuck Me! thread here. One of our members will be along to help you soon!
- How can I find my save file?
It's easy! Click here for step-by-step instructions.
- Can I have multiple save files?
Yes! Find your save file location using the above instructions. Then just move or rename your existing Game.rxdata, and rename a different save file to Game.rxdata instead. Then just start up the game!
- How do I load a backed up save file?
Assuming you have the number of back-ups set to more than 0 in the game options, they will be in the same folder as your save file. Find it using the instructions above. The file name should display information like your character name, play time, badges, etc. Then just move or rename your existing Game.rxdata, and rename your backup file to Game.rxdata instead. All you need to do then is start the game!
- Please be advised that if your save file corrupts, it is possible that several back up files will as well (especially if you save multiple times in a play session). If you find your most recent back up also does not work, keep trying older ones! For this reason we also advise players to keep more than just a few back-ups. The number of back-ups stored can be changed in the game options.
- My game is really laggy on the overworld; how do I fix this?
Because the engine Reborn is made in is not terribly efficient, some amount of lag is expected. We do everything we can to minimize it, but weaker computers may still suffer. However, you can subvert some effects of lag by using the Fast-forward option, toggled on and off by the Alt key in game.
- Using Fast-forward may artificially inflate your play time, just as if you were using the speed-up function on an emulator.
- I have a mac. How am I supposed to play Reborn?
Our moderator has whipped up a special guide just for you!
- The game crashes on my Wine Emulator. Can this be fixed?
We have found that some sound files can crash Wine emulators. Although it will be lacking some sound, the game may be playable if you navigate to your Game Folder /Audio/ME and delete all files there.
- The game says 'RGSS player has stopped working' whenever the program is loaded. Why?
This problem occurs on random computers but can sometimes be fixed. The primary treatment is to change your Data Execution Prevention settings to allow Pokemon Reborn's Game.exe. Click here for instructions on how to to edit your DEP settings.
- I'm making my own game-- can I use some of Reborn's resources?
As long as you credit for anything used per any specifics in the Readme, you can borrow whatever you need. Cheers!
- Can I have the PBS files?
Sure! You can download them here.
- Can I download past episodes of the game?
In general, we do not officially offer past episodes of the game for download. However, all content from previous episodes is included with every download of Pokemon Reborn, so there's no need to fret!
- I have a problem that's not listed here. What should I do?
Talk to us! You might be able to find quick help on our Discord or Showdown servers, but you can find more reliable assistance in our Troubleshooting forum.
