Crowdfunding Expert Roundup: 13 Pros Make Predictions
November 28, 2018 | 14 min read Fundraising Strategy
Crowdfunding has seen immense growth in the past ten years. As a tool, it's adaptable. It works across industries, from charity to real estate to music. As crowdfunding enters its adolescent years, we wanted to reflect on how far it's come.
When experts talk people listen. Since we live and breathe crowdfunding here at GoFundMe, we decided to reach out to crowdfunding experts to get their take.
We asked 13 crowdfunding experts two questions:
How do you see crowdfunding changing in the upcoming years?
Is there anything about crowdfunding that scares you?
Read on to find out what they said.
Salvador Briggman, crowdfunding blogger and the founder of CrowdCrux, said:
"We're going to look back on this time as the golden age of fundraising. It's no longer a 'crazy idea' to raise money for medical expenses, memorial funds, education costs, and more with crowdfunding. Smart individuals are doing this every day!
Peer-to-peer fundraising has taken off and will continue to grow. We're going to see more fundraisers take advantage of mobile giving through text-to-donate fundraisers (particularly for in-person events). Live streaming on Facebook is going to become another powerful way to connect with potential donors.
Whether it's social media, email marketing, or online video, these are simply fancy ways to share your story. Story is what evokes empathy, which makes someone want to give money to your fundraiser.
I'm continually afraid of 'me-centric' thinking because it will hurt your results. Desperation, begging, and neediness repels others. Positivity, personality, and authenticity attract others.
Rather than simply thinking about what YOU want, ask yourself how you can make this a good experience for others. Simple things like thanking donors or sending them a personal letter will make them FEEL appreciated."
Joseph Hogue, founder of Crowd101, said:
"It certainly seems that crowdfunding hasn't been in the news as much as it was in years past. The novelty of social fundraising has worn off and I think the industry needs to reach out to small business owners to bring them to the benefits of rewards-based crowdfunding. If it can do that, the future will bring new interest and mainstream popularity. If crowdfunding can't bring new interest to the space then we could see more platforms shut down or merge with others to survive.
On the side of social giving, I think crowdfunding will continue to grow, but platforms need to do more to help fundraisers understand how to reach those first-level connections that are necessary to take a project to the larger crowd."
Haje Jan Kamps is a writer at TechCrunch, who writes about crowdfunding among other things. Haje said:
"I feel that crowdfunding has matured a lot over the last few years. There was a period where people were very naive about the novelty of the platform. In a way, that's a good thing. For my very first crowdfunding fundraiser, I was able to get press coverage based just on the fact that this was a Kickstarter fundraiser. Those days are gone – and that's a good thing.
I'm encouraged that we're starting to use crowdfunding as yet another commerce channel. As part of that, people are starting to do their due diligence a bit more, and being more conscious of what they are investing their hard-earned money in.
There's not much that scares me about crowdfunding – although there are a few sites out there that are scarier than others. The charitable giving space is taking to crowdfunding in a big way, but some sites are not as good as others. On days where I'm feeling optimistic, I think it's a sign of haphazard carelessness. But occasionally, it feels awfully close to fraud; and the worst kind of fraud, too: You're not only tricking good people out of money, you're also literally taking food out of people's mouths in the process. I don't have any good solutions for how to fix this, but I think crowdfunding, especially in the charitable space, should be held to a higher standard than it is today."
Devin Thorpe, Forbes contributor and founder of Your Mark on the World, said:
"Ultimately, nonprofit organizations will have to develop the ability to transparently help individuals and families via crowdfunding in much the same way that individuals and families use sites like YouCaring and GoFundMe today. This will likely lead to two shifts for those families and individuals: those that struggle to raise any money today may be able to raise more with the help of a nonprofit, and those who are hugely successful today may be limited by the nonprofit to raising money that more closely corresponds to their immediate needs rather than their long-term or lifetime needs.
My biggest worry about crowdfunding today is that the people who are the most needy, lack a network of givers and supports from whom to raise money even in times of great need. The worst aspect of this is that there is evidence that this includes a racial bias, meaning that African-Americans, in particular, face greater challenges when crowdfunding than Caucasian people."
Kendall Almercio is the Chief Executive Officer at BankRoll. He's also an attorney, a crowdfunding expert, and a JOBS Act expert. Kendall said:
"Let's remember that crowdfunding really did not exist until just a few years ago, and equity crowdfunding under the JOBS Act, where anyone can invest online in companies is less than two years old. Yet, this is a $30 billion worldwide industry already. What I think you'll see as more people understand crowdfunding and participate, is that there's a normal progression for many companies to start with a Kickstarter or Indiegogo fundraiser to get their feet wet, then move to equity crowdfunding and raise millions on capital under Regulation CF or Regulation A. As more people and companies understand this phenomenon that allows a company to not only get funding, but also to build its business and brand at the same time, I think crowdfunding will become part of small business DNA in upcoming years.
The amount of regulation surrounding equity crowdfunding is problematic. While I understand the need for laws and rules (I am a lawyer by trade after all) it seems that some rules that have been imposed are arbitrary and needless. I'm particularly critical of the marketing rules that limit how a company can use Regulation CF to raise up to $1M. The restrictions imposed make no sense, and don't protect anyone. They simply make using the law more difficult. My concern is that these rules limit the ability to succeed, and could have long-term effects on others choosing to use these laws, if they do not see huge successes early."
Alex Daly has been dubbed a crowdsourceress and founded Vann Alexandra. Alex said:
"Crowdfunding has changed significantly and substantially since I first started working on fundraisers in 2012. While Kickstarter and Indiegogo were once full of indie creatives raising a few thousand dollars online, we're currently at a point where major celebrities and even Fortune 500 companies are using these platforms to generate millions in funding. Nowadays, crowdfunding is becoming more competitive and more crowded, which has impacted what it means to launch a project. For instance, you can't just throw your idea online and expect to hit your goal; now you need a serious marketing plan (and even a budget) well before you launch. Larger organizations are also starting to realize that crowdfunding is not just a way to raise funds; it's a cost-effective market test and incredible publicity tool. As more companies take note, the entire field will continue to grow exponentially and spread outwards."
Narek Vardanyan, founder of The Crowdfunding Formula, said:
"When carefully analyzing the crowdfunding transformation and tendencies in the past few years, one can notice the following developments:
Intelligence and expertise of backers has considerably increased. While five years ago you could have just a basic idea of your project, place a basic description in crowdfunding platforms and successfully receive funding, today it's far from being the case. You need to carefully work on all the aspects of your project to convince the potential backers that you have enough credibility.
Competition to get backers' attention and support has notably increased as well. Thousands of projects are being registered every day in crowdfunding platforms. Hence, to successfully meet your goal, you need to understand that crowdfunding is not working automatically and do your homework before your launch. Prepare 3-4 months before the launch and work on all the aspects of your fundraiser, including your audience, video, fundraiser page design, PR strategy etc.
Crowdfunding has been creating incentives for creativity and innovation. Many people follow how the life of 'ordinary' people changes after a successful crowdfunding fundraiser. This creates a multiplication effect of creativity and a lot of people get inspired from these success stories and start to innovate themselves."
Robin Eschler, founder of Social Impact Marketing, said:
"There's a paradigm shift occurring in business, cause, and even personal funding. With the world growing smaller due to the internet and rapid communications, money is flowing from the bottom up rather than the traditional banking and funding from the top down. Causes that range from getting college money to alleviating extreme poverty and addressing the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals are being supported by the 'Crowd.'
The Crowd is getting more powerful. Look at Occupy Wall Street and at startup technology companies that never step a foot into a bank yet become success stories overnight. In 2012, Oculus Rift, a fledgling virtual reality system, raised close to $2.5 million from individuals who wanted to be the first to have their own Virtual Reality goggles. The company, within 18 months, went on to sell to Facebook for $2 billion without ever stepping into a bank for traditional funding. Since then, there have been numerous success stories all funded from the Crowd.
The face of philanthropy is changing, too, from a focus on 'major gifts' received from a small segment of wealthy individuals to raising hundreds of thousands, even millions from individuals around the world. Causes, small and global, are accessible to anyone who cares to give.
It's a beautiful transition occurring that empowers all people to make a difference no matter what their role is or where they live. Our self-fulfillment, life's purpose and personal legacies are much easier to achieve for anyone with access to a computer. Plus our personal ability to raise money is only a click away.
The world is getting smaller and the crowd more powerful. The years ahead will see change that may be painful for many who cling to the old financial systems, but ultimately, the crowd and individual empowerment will carry us to a beautiful new world."
Julia Campbell is the author of Storytelling in the Digital Age: A Guide for Nonprofits. Julia said:
"The crowdfunding space is going to become even more crowded in coming years. Individuals will create more fundraisers, seeing the potential to raise money for pet projects, medical costs, or emergencies. What scares me most about this scenario is that the general public will have a much harder time weeding out the scams from the legitimate fundraisers, and may get crowdfunding fatigue."
Kathleen Minogue, founder and CEO of Crowdfund Better, said:
"The future of crowdfunding is niche with more community and less crowd. In the past, niche platforms couldn't compete with the major players, but as we move from the early crowdfunding adopters to the early crowdfunding majority we are entering new territory. Different types of fundraisers require different types of support, and niche platforms that can provide that support will grow strongly alongside the original players.
Niche platforms will also play a key role in nurturing curated crowdfunding communities. We'll see a shift away from locating a 'crowd' through transaction-oriented paid advertising and toward tools that nurture relationships and community through online and offline storytelling.
My greatest concern for crowdfunding is the lack of diversity in terms of fundraiser creators and backers. We need to do more to empower minorities, women, and rural communities with crowdfunding know-how so they can gather the social, creative, and financial support they need."
Krystine Therriault is a community manager and journalist at CrowdCrux. Krystine said:
"In the upcoming years, I see crowdfunding becoming even more popular. I already see it happening – people who didn't know a thing about crowdfunding before are starting to talk about it and share crowdfunding fundraisers on social media. It's becoming more ubiquitous, which is great because more non-profits and charities see crowdfunding as a viable fundraising option and more supporters are connecting with and funding great causes.
If anything about crowdfunding scares me it would have to be protection and education. So far, platforms are doing a pretty good job protecting their users and explaining the risks that are involved. As crowdfunding reaches more and more people that sharing of information and transparency will need to be maintained."
Anthony de Souza, founder of The Crowdfunding Academy, said:
"The crowdfunding scene is becoming more complex with each passing year. Besides new crowdfunding platforms emerging every week there's a plethora of support services also coming on stream. Where's it all going to end? Crowdfunding is about unlocking funding for new and exciting projects benefiting not only the project creators but those that they serve as well. Each new day is turning up different ways where crowdfunding can help.
However, amidst all this change, fundamental success factors remain the same for both those raising and/or investing in fundraisers. Knowing what these success factors are will help us shape and navigate the future of crowdfunding.
I do get approached everyday by project creators asking why no one is supporting their crowdfunding fundraiser. The assumption that there are huge numbers of people trawling the internet wishing to back crowdfunding fundraisers is false.
Here's the rub – strangers do not fund crowdfunding fundraisers. The secret to crowdfunding is in the name. If you do not have an engaged crowd you cannot go crowdfunding. It is as simple as that. BEFORE you go crowdfunding you need to build a crowd, grow an existing crowd or borrow a crowd. This can take months if not years. This to me is the biggest reason why so many crowdfunding fundraisers fail. It's also the biggest lesson we can learn and need to correct BEFORE we go crowdfunding. I would like to see more educational opportunities being created to help as many of us understand all the success factors that we need to have in place before we go crowdfunding."
Epi Ludvik Nekaj is the founder and CEO of Crowdsourcing Week. Epi said:
"Today's crowdfunding is very fundraiser driven, however this will change very soon. In coming years I see crowdfunding going mainstream as dots have started to be connected in marketplaces. Most of these platforms will have an open API and we'll see much more dynamic, transparent and relevant projects thanks to AI and blockchain enabled technologies. And when it comes to equity crowdfunding we'll see a second market in which can bring transparency and opportunity to another level.
What scares me about crowdfunding is product delivery. Most of the products fail to be delivered on time or as promised. This can impact reward & equity crowdfunding specifically. Second, we've seen lots of scams in the past which can be avoided in the future by making sure platform operators curate new or incoming fundraisers. Having some type of regulation across platforms is necessary."
The future of crowdfunding
With all this insight from major crowdfunding experts, we can connect the dots to potential upcoming trends and developments in the industry. The experts agree that crowdfunding will continue to grow in the upcoming years. And several commented on the need for more education and security. We're proud to be on the front line of crowdfunding and can't wait to see where the industry is headed next. Learn more about how crowdfunding works or start your fundraiser today.

A little more than a week ago, we moved into our new old home. We were set to move out on a Saturday, but as of the Thursday morning before, had no idea what would be going down.
We got word Thursday evening things were set to close the next day. We closed on the new house Friday, moved out of the old house Saturday, cleaned and finished things Sunday, then closed on the old house later in the week. I left for a brand trip in Utah early Monday, I returned late Wednesday night and that was it, we were all home.
Getting used to the home has been a little bit of a change for all of us.
It has great bones, thick dark trim, quirks, and lots of character. It was built in 1910, has 4 beds (plus 1 bonus room), 2 baths, sits on a deep lot, and was originally listed as a tear down. After living here, it is in great condition and I'm glad we can save it. We'll start with some foundation work and make a plan from there.
It feels like we're in a vacation home. It smells a bit like we're in a vacation home. 🙂 We left a finished home for one which needs work. The home is half the size and the rooms are narrow. We've sold or donated much of our belongings. We're no longer rural-ish, we live on a quiet street in a vibrant downtown suburban area.
I could go on and on with the differences. But I haven't missed our old house yet.
Here we spend more time outside. We're all together when hand-washing dishes. Kids have to pitch in because messes are more noticeable. We're living with less (since most of it is packed). The TV is still disconnected, and I've seen more forts, puzzles, books, and made-up games than I've seen all summer. Everyone is closer together. We're moving a bit slower without the rush of a looming move. We're visiting more parks, going on more bike rides, walk downtown, and enjoy after-dinner kid parent dates. And most importantly, we've seen Doug more often than when he was commuting a total of 4 hours a day from the old house to his new office.
It won't be all rainbows and sunshine, but it's been good for us. I can feel good changes and I like it.
Here are some before photos of our new, old house. I'll start with the exterior and first floor, then share the 2nd floor in another post.
« Update on Selling and Moving!
Looks like a great place to make a home =) I'm looking forward to see the transformation you're planning for the house!
This house looks great… and by great, I mean so much potential to be great! That backyard looks nice!
The stair railing is exactly like mine with the same posts. Ours was built in 1906. We just gutted the whole house due to some insulation issues. I have no idea what to do! We're working on the new wiring and plumbing. Everything is in storage and we're in the he apartment above our shop. Can't wait to see what you do.
Yay! I love it. Fellow 1910 home owner over here!!! I cant wait to see all the progress.
Awwww. I can feel your stress in your written words. This change is overwhelming. Don't be sad. Go buy a new tree or flowering bush and plant it as a house warming gift to yourself. When you see it you'll know in future years you'll watch it grow as the house becomes a home.
There is so much potential, and it's a beautiful home. It sounds like you will create a lot of peaceful and loving memories there. I am so excited to see what you do with it! Good luck!
WOW!! congrats and I know you are going to turn this house into a home! can't wait to follow along.
It's going to be amazing. I seriously can't wait to see you're going to do with it. It takes a special kind of patience to live in a house that feels half done in every.single.room. You can always message me for words of encouragement and I'll cry with you. ? We've so been there. And the outside? That will be gorgeous next year if you plan a little bit in the fall. I'm thinking the outside will be a HUGE change. ?
I love that your family time is so important! And I agree with what has already been said – I can't wait to see what you do!! What a gift.
You are a hale and hearty woman. Brave, too. Looking forward to being wow-ed!!
A teal door?!?! Obviously that house was meant for you!
Can´t wait to see how the transformations will look like 🙂 Some rooms are really in need of a miracle…..
Sounds like it's a wonderful home already! Fours of commuting time a day cut down considerably? Woohoo!
Can't wait to see the transformation!With you running the redo it'll probably unbelievably fantastic!

Naomi Amir () (January 23, 1931 – January 4, 1995) was an American-Israeli pediatric neurologist. After earning her M.D. at New York University School of Medicine in 1952, she undertook her residency at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem the following year. Choosing to specialize in the field of pediatric neurology, which at the time was new to Israel, she established the first pediatric neurology clinic in Israel in 1968 at Bikur Holim Hospital. She later expanded this clinic into a full-service diagnostic, evaluation, and intervention center. In 1990 she and her team moved to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. She is credited as "the founder of modern child neurology in Israel".

Early life and education
Naomi Kassan was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Shalom Kassan, a Jewish Palestinian émigré, and Eva Dushkin, a first-generation American child of Eastern European immigrants. She had one older sibling. When she was four, her family moved to Palestine, where her father was a judge in the Mandatory Palestine legal service. Eighteen months later her mother took the children back to the United States for a year, returning to Palestine in 1937. The following year her mother returned to New York City permanently with the children.

Naomi graduated from The Bronx High School of Science. She earned her B.A. from New York University and her medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine in 1952. Desiring to live in Israel, she undertook her residency at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem beginning in 1953. She completed her second M.D. at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1957.

Career
When Amir chose to specialize in pediatric neurology, this field was not yet recognized in Israel, and women represented a small minority of physicians in the country. Amir was mentored by Dr. Helena Kagan, founder and head of the department of pediatrics at Bikur Holim Hospital in Jerusalem. Kagan offered her a small room separate from the pediatrics ward to use as a neurological clinic.

Before establishing her practice, Amir returned to New York for two years to take a clinical fellowship at the Neurological Institute of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. She returned to Israel in 1968 to establish the first pediatric neurology rehabilitation daycare center in the country at Bikur Holim Hospital. This center offered both inpatient and outpatient services, and included a rehabilitation kindergarten in which Amir and her team could evaluate interventions over the long-term. In 1979 Amir expanded the center into a full-service diagnostic, evaluation, and intervention day hospital. In its first six years, the day-hospital screened more than 1,000 children. A sleep clinic for children was installed in 1984.

In 1990 Amir and her team of seven specialists moved to Shaare Zedek Medical Center, which provided an entire wing for her day-hospital. In 2009 the rehabilitation kindergarten moved into its own facility adjacent to the medical center. Approximately 70 children ages 3 to 7 are enrolled in the kindergarten, half of whom will eventually enter regular schools.

Amir also practiced at the Spafford Clinic in the Old City of Jerusalem, treating Muslim children, and the Mukassed Hospital on the Mount of Olives. She set up a number of satellite neurology clinics in Arab villages.

Research interests
Amir co-edited two books and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed articles. Her research interests included cognitive development, epilepsy, neurometabolic disorders, aphasia, and developmental disorders.

Amir joined the staff of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1974 as a lecturer. She became a clinical senior lecturer in 1983 and a clinical associate professor in 1993.

Honors
She received the Israeli Women of Achievement Award in 1989.

Personal life
Naomi married Shlomo Amir in March 1955. They had two sons and one daughter. Naomi died of cancer on January 4, 1995.

I Successfully store my elements in the hashtable but it fails when I try to search for my stored elements. My function lookup_string is supposed to find the right list in the hashtable and go through the linked list with the for-loop if more than one element is stored with the same hash-key.
Inside the lookup_string function I found out that the for-loop never executes (I used prints to check that) and the function skips that for-loop and returns NULL directly. This behaviour is really odd and I don't know why it skips that loop, but this is the reason why I can't find my elements after I have stored them, atleast what I think.
If someone can shed some light on this problem that would be much appreciated!
I have functions to delete elements in the hashtable but those are not necessary to consider, I just uploaded them for understanding purpose. I choose alternative 1 in the menu to add one element and then alternative 3 in the menu and that is when I can't find my stored element.

A: One thing that could be the problem is that in your Hash function, you declare sum without initializing it to 0. My guess is that the for loop does not execute in 'lookup_string' because 'list' is NULL to begin with, as what 'Hash' won't necessarily be the same every time you call it (even with the same arguments).
Perhaps instead of:
int i, sum, key;

Put:
int i, key, sum = 0;

Save the Princess: Love Triangle
By Dora | August 22, 2015
Platform: Javascript/HTML5
Categories: browser, free, game, html5, playthis, puzzle, rating-g
They say love is blind, but even the most classic tales (excluding certain animated features) will tell you that frogs are typically ill-suited to marital bliss, at least when one half is human. In cute puzzle game Save the Princess: Love Triangle, the princess has been turned into a frog, and the prince needs to bring her a magic potion to turn her back to normal... though he's a bit dense. He's only motivated by cake, you see, so you'll need to click on the ground to place cake arrows to lure him forward. Click an arrow to rotate it to direct where the prince will head next when he encounters it, and think carefully about where it goes, since you have a limited number, and the prince will gobble it down when he touches it. Not only do you need to contend with steering the prince away from spikes, but you'll also need to either use some of your limited cake supply to steer away rival princes... or, well, lure yours to a sword to finish them off. Throw in some buttons and doors to activate to change the path, and things aren't as straight-forward as they initially appear. Though pretty dated when it comes to gender roles and on the whole very gentle with difficulty, Save the Princess: Love Triangle, is a cute, bright little puzzle game in a simpler vein of titles like Talesworth Adventure, making it cheery fun to kick back with... without breaking your brain.

Hate to say this, but, i'm not a fan of this game. Loved the Talesworth games... but, this game, I dont know feels like it lacked polish. Looks nice, the graphics good the animations decent. Though i'd sell all that cake, for a 'start' button instead of having to click the prince, person, thing.
Few other 'nit picks'.
'floor tile says turn right. I can't turn right. I'll go back the way I came'. why not.. see if you can turn left.
or... 'I come to a crossing, can turn freely left or right. So i'll turn 180 and go back the way i came'.
Seems like simple things, but, really confusing and break the flow of the game. 'oh you have a solution. sorry, the solution isn't what 'we' want, therefore it isn't correct.

Level 12 is bugged with the Prince leaving the field of play, sailing off into the sky.
chibidani • August 24, 2015 1:24 AM
This game was unplayably slow for me, starting from level 4. I got to level 6 and gave up. I am running Youtube in another tab, on current Firefox, but nothing else.
I would have loved to have been able to click-hold the cake and rotate freely to get the right direction.

liked the first few levels then gets a bit monotonous after a while. still worth a play though.


More often than not, this list of forgotten items includes breakroom supplies.
Why is it that the breakroom is so easy to ignore? I suppose because it's not so much about production and work as the rest of the office. But savvy office managers are well aware of the benefits to be gained by providing their employees with a well-furbished and comfortable lunch/breakroom.
Having a space in your office where employees feel comfortable to relax a bit, refocus, eat and get together with their co-workers is the first step. The second step is ensuring that it is always kept tidy and stocked with appropriate breakroom supplies. The modern breakroom should also include plenty of storage for supplies and ample room in a clean refrigerator for staff lunches. If storage is an issue, consider buying a storage cabinet for your breakroom. Here's a quick checklist to glance through to see if your breakroom is fully stocked. You can also use it next time when ordering your breakroom supplies, so you don't forget anything!
Recycle bins, garbage cans etc.
So next time you order office supplies Montreal, be sure to check your breakroom's inventory first! Crites & Riddell has a full range of breakroom supplies and office supplies that your employees love. Plus, it has never been easier to order your office supplies online than now, with our online ordering system. Delivery of your items is quick and efficient and always on time. Service that is reliable and competitively priced can't be beat!

Democrat Witch Hunts
Ilhan Omar Buried One Deadly Secret That Every American Needs to Know
maga2016 April 1, 2020
Ilhan Omar knows that one truth could destroy everything she's worked for.
With the coronavirus outbreak raging, time is of the essence to get the word out to the American people.
And Ilhan Omar buried one deadly secret that every American needs to know.
The radical left sees the coronavirus pandemic as the perfect time to expand their communist dreams.
Ilhan Omar is conveniently ignoring the fact that the Chinese Communist government's original cover-up has made a huge difference in the spread of the coronavirus.
One study found that 95% of current cases could have been prevented if the Chinese government had acted three weeks sooner.
Yet Ilhan Omar is still hoping to have the government take over America's private hospitals during the crisis.
The government running the medical community isn't going to make it run more smoothly or efficiently.
In the UK, widespread testing is still not available, even symptomatic cases that have been in contact with confirmed coronavirus cases can't get the test in the UK.
The tests are being reserved for people who are dangerously ill.
Dr. Fauci said that it was the private industry in America that has been able to ramp up testing in a way that the government couldn't do.
The UK knew that their healthcare wasn't sufficient to cope with a bad flu season, let alone a severe epidemic.
The simulations on how bad the socialized healthcare of the UK would handle an epidemic were hidden from the public; the results were so bad.
According to Breitbart News:
In October 2016, a cross-government test under the codenamed Exercise Cygnus was performed to study how the NHS, the British Medical Association, and the military would handle a major influenza outbreak.
Government ministers were warned that the nation's healthcare system failed the test, with "terrifying results" — but the findings were deemed too sensitive and therefore hidden from the public.
The results of the test found that the NHS did not have the required "surge capacity" to cope with a pandemic and that the system would require thousands of additional critical care beds during a crisis. Failures in the supply chain of personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical staff were discovered as well, according to The Telegraph.
The test also found that doctors would have to develop a "battlefield" mentality, choosing which patients should receive care based on the likelihood of them surviving. Bosses at the NHS would have to "switch off" large parts of the healthcare system and it was suggested that even midwives would have to abandon their duty of delivering babies and join the pandemic effort.
Instead of fixing the system, the British government hid the report.
That's the system that Ilhan Omar wants to implement in America.
The UK's socialized medicine system is terrifyingly bad. A system that is set up to cost the government as little as possible cuts corners in every way.
There are only 5,000 ventilators in all of Britain.
The British should be looking at how they can change their system because their people need help that their government isn't providing.

Recipe for Baked Camembert from France
After reading my entry about Baked Brie, Monique from France wrote me…
We bake Camembert in embers or hot ashes, but we don't bake Brie this way.
To bake a Camembert, you'd want to chose one that's not too soft, yet not too hard (we say "plaster-like") with a wooden box. One for 4 or 5 people who are not too hungry.
You open the box, unwrap it and put a little thyme, rosemary or savory between the paper and the cheese. Then wrap it up again and put the wooden box under the hot ashes. Or else you can wrap it up with tinfoil and put it in the embers.
You leave it in till you think the inside's melted, depending on the heat. Then you unwrap it, cut the top off and everybody dips in a piece of bread (French bread with hard crust, for sure) in the melted cheese, eats it, takes another piece of bread, etc… You generally run short of cheese first!
I know there are more "civilized" recipes with each person served some grilled camembert with salad and baked potatoes. But I like this one better cause everybody helps him/herself from the same box. It's more fun!
Many thanks to Monique of Mama Lisa's World en français for this recipe.

Monique later wrote again…
Regarding Baked Camembert:
My brother said it has to be left about 10 minutes in the embers, that's the way he does it. He was very sceptical about cooking the Camembert in hot ashes even without tinfoil. Though I remember that the first time I ate it, the boys hadn't pused tinfoil and hadn't baked it in the glowing embers. If you ever try it, do the way my brother says, cos he's the one who deals with it when we have some.

I asked Monique about Where you Bake the Camembert… in a Fireplace? Or would you go camping and build a fire and cook it there? Could you cook it on a Barbeque Grill?
Here's Monique's answer…
You can cook camembert anywhere as far as there are embers. Barbeque grill: if you mean the one with charcoal, you can, if you mean an electric one, I don't know. What I also know is that they cook it in the oven in pizzerias. I suppose you can bake it in a regular oven, but that'd be much less fun.
The ideal camping meal: start a fire long in advance to have hot ashes to bake potatoes wrapped in tinfoil (1 1/2 to 2 hours); some time before they're done, add some wood to have glowing embers and grill sausages, lamb chops, or pork chops, or whatever meat you like. I love grilled mutton meat, but not everybody likes the strong taste of it. People not from around the Mediterranean Sea generally find it too strong (we've been used to it since childhood!).
Meanwhile, you get the camembert(s) ready to bake and put them in the embers when nearly everybody's done with the meat. You could add grilled bananas in tinfoil to take advantage of the fire but I think it'd be better to have fresh juicy fruit as a dessert! You can grill fish instead of meat but as I'm not a "fish person", it just doesn't come to my mind.
I'll tell you that what we most eat when having a picnic is a big salad (a variation of salade niçoise) with boiled potatoes (big diced) + tomatoes (big diced) + boiled eggs (big diced) + sweet onions (sliced) + olives + canned tuna (optional) + boiled/canned French beans (optional) + olive oil + vinegar + salt. Some put anchovies instead of tuna. Then grilled sausage, either warm if we've built a fire or cold if we've grilled it at home.
Then cheese, then fruit, then coffee. We often start the meal with dry sausage, some raw ham or/and pâté as an appetizer.
After all that, you can go lie under a tree and have a good nap!
darron Says:
my misses bought me a ready to bake camembert because i`m a big fan of trying different cheeses,i have never tryed baking a cheese.. i don`t know what to do with it how to cook it at home, on electric.
Monique Says:
I only saw regular camemberts in my life, so I don't know what a ready to bake camembert is. Usually, camemberts come wrapped in a sort of plastic sheet within the wooden box. You'll want to unwrap the cheese and put it back in the wooden box, cut the crust drawing a cross in it, then bake it about 20 mn. You can also take off the top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can dip French bread in it, or toasts, or small slices of apples (Granny Smith type), or slices of baked or boiled potatoes. And you have some salad with it. If you put "baked camembert" into Google, you'll find a lot of recipes, and if you know French and type "cambembert au four" or "camembert grillé", you'll find a lot more of them.
Usually when Brie or Camembert is ready to bake they give you instructions about how to cook it. I believe you normally take it out of its wrappers and bake it on a cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. In the US it would be in an oven set to about 350 F.
Reid Says:
We tried this for the first time. 20 minutes in oven at 190 C.
Took it out the wrapperfirst then baked in the box.
Delicious. Even son who is not a cheese fan thought it was fabulous.
I have just returned from France where amongst other things I enjoyed a baked cheese, possibly cammembert. The difference in this case was that the cheese was served cold but had been baked long enough to form a firm, light brown crust on the top while still having a soft core.The flavour of the baked crust was out of this world, I am just waiting for an excuse to try it out.

Universal Orlando Announces New Theme Park: Epic Universe – With Speculation Map
August 01, 2019 Alicia Stella Theme Park News / Theme Park Rumors This article contains affiliate links. Learn More
This morning at a conference at the Orange County Convention Center, not too far from its future site, Universal Orlando announced their brand-new theme park, Universal's Epic Universe.
After years of speculation and rumors, it's very exciting to see an official announcement for the first major theme park to be built in Central Florida since Islands of Adventure opened in 1999. See highlights from today's announcement below, as well as some of my guesses for the new park.
Official concept art for Universal's Epic Universe
The new theme park, which Universal is touting as their fourth Orlando park, will be located a couple miles south of the current resort. The new section of land is a 750-acre site that nearly doubles the total size of the entire Universal Orlando. The new park will be located south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard.
"Our new park represents the single-largest investment Comcast NBCUniversal has made in its theme park business and in Florida overall," said Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts. "It reflects the tremendous excitement we have for the future of our theme park business and for our entire company's future in Florida."

Universal confirmed that the new park will feature an entertainment center, hotels, shops, restaurants and more. No word yet on whether or not that means that the rumors of a free-access hub are true, and if theme park admission is only required for direct access into the themed lands themselves. This was a rumor early on in the design process, but many are saying it has since been dropped. We may have to wait and see.
And speaking of themed lands, while they did not speak about what properties and rides the park will feature during the announcement, the official piece of concept art does seem to indicate that we may have been right with some of the speculation in previous articles and videos. See my speculation map below for more details on the lands I expect we may see on opening day. (Of course, this is still very early and things could change moving forward.)
Speculation map, labels added by Alicia Stella
"Our vision for Epic Universe is historic," said Tom Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Universal Parks & Resorts. "It will build on everything we have done and become the most immersive and innovative theme park we have ever created. It is an investment in our business, our industry, our team members and our community."
Part of today's announcement also focused on infrastructure projects, including the Kirkman Road expansion that will help connect the new park to the existing resort. This will be a 50/50 public-private partnership in which Universal is investing $160 million to extend Kirkman into the area. The new road expansion will include dedicated bus lanes that will be useful for transporting guests between all of the Universal hotels and theme parks on and off property.
Development plans for the new park, with labels added by Alicia Stella
An opening year for Universal's Epic Universe was not announced at today's conference. Estimates have the new park opening by 2023 at the earliest and 2025 at the latest. Work is going on now for warehouses and other back of house support structures for the new park. We should hopefully see vertical construction begin on the park itself by the end of next year.
See our previous story for a breakdown of everything we know about the new theme park up until this point. And stay tuned for more rumors, speculation, and breaking news about this massive new project. We should have a new podcast with our first deep dive into the concept art up within the next few days. Until then, please credit Alicia Stella or Orlando ParkStop whenever sharing the speculation maps above, and thanks! The ride is just beginning!

Awesome stuff! It's interesting that you specifically tagged the yellow expansion pad as Nintendo. What made you decide that?
KevyB
Mostly because what's here is exactly what's going into Japan. If it's popular – which it should be – then expanding Nintendo is an obvious choice, with Zelda and Pokemon probably going into the other parks and more Mario going here. Just as that expansion pad next to Fantastic Beasts is probably there in case that's super popular, or the next movies are better than the last one. The same with the Classic Monsters. And that's why Dragon is pretty much hemmed in. Kiddie areas rarely get expanded-upon, at least in the Universal world. Of course, they could decide against it and this plot of land could become anything.
Alicia, the logo and hubs seem very Jules Verney to me. Any idea why?

Tokyo Olympics: Belgium for cycling events
By Patrick Fletcher published 22 July 21
Van Aert and Evenepoel ensure golden expectations as Kopecky hunts on the road and track

Belgium are one of the pre-eminent cycling nations and will automatically head to Tokyo with a certain sense of status and expectation.
They have the defending champion in the men's road race in Greg Van Avermaet but he'll only have a minor role as Wout van Aert and Remco Evenepoel send those expectations to the skies.
However, Belgium's Olympic pedigree is actually rather light. Before Van Avermaet's triumph in Tokyo, you had to go back to 1984 for a cycling gold, while they've only won five medals this millennium.
While you sense that only a medal will do in the men's road race and time trial - and maybe even two out of three colours would be a disappointment - there will be slightly lower expectations on the women's side, while they'll hope the return of the Madison can spark some success on the track.
Road races and time trials
Wout van Aert has arrived in Tokyo after a stunning Tour de France in which his three stage wins - a mountain stage, a time trial, and a bunch sprint - showcased his mind-bending versatility. You'd be hard-pressed to design a course he couldn't win on, and that goes for the road race and the time trial. Van Aert will line up in both and arguably starts as the favourite in both. As for his form, it's obviously sky high, but it's interesting to note that he was subdued on the first few stages of the Tour, when Alaphilippe and Van der Poel were strutting their stuff. Van Aert, by contrast, finished the race with back-to-back wins, suggesting he has measured it perfectly.
Remco Evenepoel makes it two Belgian riders who could feasibly do the road race-time trial golden double. The 21-year-old super talent is highly motivated by the Olympics and has made it his season's major target. He differs from Van Aert in that he's much lighter, so even though he might not be expected to finish a race from a small group, he may have a better time absorbing the steeper climbs, and has repeatedly shown he can solo from long range. He missed out on the Belgian time trial title but the hillier Tokyo course TT should suit him, and there are few riders so aerodynamically efficient. His form is more of an unknown compared to Van Aert. He hasn't raced since the Belgium Tour and has endured a complicated comeback from his 2020 injury, but he did win that Belgium Tour.
Greg Van Avermaet is the defending champion and has doggedly been wearing his golden helmet throughout the lost Olympic year. That said, he arguably sits towards the bottom of the Belgian hierarchy. He hasn't won a race in nearly two years and was way off the pace at the Tour de France, so will be hoping for a rapid turn in fortunes.
Tiesj Benoot is a quality all-round rider who maybe still hasn't quite worked out how to channel his talents. He burst onto the scene with fifth at the Tour of Flanders a few years ago but can clearly climb significantly better than most cobbled classics riders. He had to leave the Tour early due to a crash but if fit again will be a key support rider.
Mauri Vansevenant is a young bouncing ball of energy, who has lit up the Ardennes Classics in the past couple of seasons. He's light, aggressive, and seemingly sprints everywhere out of the saddle. He thought the selectors were 'crazy' when they announced his name but it wouldn't be a surprise if he had an impact.

Lotte Kopecky is the double champion of Belgium, with the road race and time trial titles to her name. She won't do the time trial in Tokyo but is the clear leader for the road race. She has strong Classics pedigree, winning Le Samyn this year and placing top-five at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Gent-Wevelgem, Brugge-De Panne, and Nokere Koerse. However, she is more of a northern Classics rider, with a strong sprint but less uphill ability than the Tokyo favourites. The course may well prove too hilly and a medal of any sort would be considered a huge success.
Valerie Demey is a teammate of Kopecky's at Liv Racing. As she did this spring, the 25-year-old's sole aim will be to provide as much support as possible.
Julie Van der Velde is a former runner who rides for Jumbo-Visma after four years at Lotto Soudal. The 28-year-old is an all-rounder and will support Kopecky in the road race before taking Belgium's sole slot in the time trial.
Lotte Kopecky (Madison, Omnium) is also competing on the track and that may represent a better shot at a medal. She'll be riding the Omnium as well as teaming up with D'hoore for the Madison. The pair were world champions in 2017 but haven't hit the same highs at international level since.
Jolien D'hoore (Madison) is similar to Kopecky in that she's a strong road rider with Classics pedigree and a sharp sprint, but also a background on the track. She won bronze in the Omnium in Rio and was 5th in London, but the spot has gone to Kopecky this time. She's retiring at the end of the year and will want to go out with a bang in the Madison.

Kenny De Ketele (Madison, Omnium) is a stalwart of the Belgian track cycling scene. He has four victories to his name at the Gent Six Day, and so the return of the Madison to the Olympic programme is a big plus. He was world champion in the two-up discipline in 2012 and was fourth when it was last in the Olympics in 2012. He is 36 so these could well be his final Games.
Robbie Ghys (Madison) is a rider who combines road and track, notably beating Remco Evenepoel to the line from the opening breakaway at the recent Belgium Tour. He's 12 years younger than De Ketele but their partnership isn't a new one; they won the Gent Six together in 2019 and were second the year before.

Clinton's Health Just Became a Huge Campaign Issue
She cancels California events after diagnosis of pneumonia
Posted Sep 12, 2016 5:02 AM CDT
Updated Sep 12, 2016 5:44 AM CDT

(Newser) – Concerns about Hillary Clinton's health have gone from conspiracy theory to what analysts are calling a major campaign issue. After she abruptly left a 9/11 memorial event early Sunday, her doctor disclosed that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and was advised to rest. The campaign now says that Clinton has canceled a Monday and Tuesday trip to California that would have involved several fundraising appearances as well as a major economic speech and an appearance on Ellen, the Washington Post reports. In other coverage:
Clinton's physician, Dr. Lisa R. Bardack, said Clinton was "overheated and dehydrated" at the 9/11 event but is now "rehydrated and recovering nicely," the New York Times reports. Bardack didn't say what kind of pneumonia Clinton has or whether she had a fever Sunday.
Politico reports that political journalists strongly criticized the campaign's handling of Clinton's illness, while Clinton allies downplayed the issue—and even praised her stamina. "'Powering through' illness is what women do: Stoically, every. single. day," tweeted former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
CNN spoke to a doctor about Clinton's stumble and the subsequent news of pneumonia. Ford Vox says neither is at all unusual in somebody Clinton's age, though there's certainly a chance of other underlying health issues.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the incident has renewed calls for the release of detailed health records from Clinton, who is 68, and her 70-year-old rival. "This is the kind of thing that voters have a right to understand before they cast a vote," says GOP strategist Katie Packer, who doesn't support either candidate. "Both Trump and Hillary are elderly. They are obligated to release full medical records and full tax returns to the American people. And the media, party leaders, and American people should settle for nothing less."
The Washington Post looks at the "intense privacy" that has long surrounded Clinton's health after incidents like a 1998 blood clot in her leg that she later described as her "scariest moment."
The Telegraph looks at what might happen if health issues force Clinton to quit the race.
Politico reports that some Trump supporters gleefully celebrated her illness on social media, though Trump himself has declined to comment. A lobbyist who raises money for Trump says he hopes the candidate will be able to remain "very careful and sensitive, and not reinforce the worse things people think about him."

If you watch the video of Hillary waiting and trying to enter through the side door of the black van that its apparent that she did not faint. If she fainted she would have gone right to the ground. What Hillary had was a frozen gait and then an episode of ataxia/dyskinesia. The fact that no one around her seems surprised by her situation suggests that this is not the first time they have seen her like this. Come on Hillary people, do you really buy the "over-heated", "dehydrated", then evolving to "pneumonia" lies? Do you really believe she would not take off her jacket if she was hot; get a bottled water while waiting to be picked up; most frightening of all that she would go to a large public event if she had contagious viral or bacterial pneumonia? If it is pneumonia, it is 'aspiration pneumonia' due to dysphagia (in ability to swallow) and coughing then swallowing her own saliva into her lungs. Hillary Clinton has a severe, degenerative neurological condition that she is lying about. The DNC should identify a replacement candidate for her soon. She is not fit to serve.
Randal Mcmurphy
nah its just trumps chumps spreading lies. trumps mental health is the real issue
Clinton's health or Trump's siding with those he was against to be Prez it's a no win situation for the voters out here. Wait they was both from the Rich side of the street, it already was a no win situation!


Hungry theatergoers visiting the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival can find a restaurant, a pub and a snack bar on the grounds. But anyone who arrived on Tuesday night would also have discovered an artistically delectable treat inside the Ted Shawn Theater: a choreographic smorgasbord served up by the Miami City Ballet.
It was an evening of tidbits. All the pieces were short, and most were excerpts from longer works. They proved a fine assortment.
The full title of this presentation to recorded accompaniment was ''Edward Villella and Dancers From Miami City Ballet,'' and it featured 10 of the company's 50 members. Some people in the audience might have wondered what part Mr. Villella, the troupe's director, would play in the performance. Although he was one of the greatest stars of the New York City Ballet, he no longer dances.
Instead, he served as host of the feast, commenting on the presentations with great charm. Using culinary imagery, he likened the program to an hors d'oeuvres buffet and a Spanish tapas meal.
From the 19th century came the buoyant pas de deux from ''Flower Festival at Genzano,'' by the Danish choreographer August Bournonville. This duet for lovers begins with a gentle stroll, then develops into joyous leaps and bounds. Jennifer Kronenberg and Didier Bramaz were sweetly flirtatious as the lovers.
Balanchine shared Bournonville's fondness for speed and lightness. ''Valse Fantaisie'' certainly made that evident. Balanchine must have loved this waltz by Glinka; he kept on choreographing it. The Miami company gave his 1953 staging for a man and three women, rather than the more familiar 1967 version for a principal couple and an ensemble of four women.
The performance by Paige Fulleton, Tricia Albertson, Joan Latham and Arnold Quintane suggested that this lesser-known production deserves to be better known today. Groups kept forming and dissolving with remarkable rapidity, and the dancers remained at ease in all the quicksilver comings and goings.
In addition to the fleetness and delicacy associated with the Danish style, Balanchine admired the imperial dignity of the Russian style in which he was trained. One of his most stately duets, the pas de deux from the Diamonds section of ''Jewels,'' received a suitably aristocratic interpretation by Deanna Seay and Eric Quillere. Ms. Seay revealed that she realized that benign aristocrats show their good breeding through their confidence rather than their arrogance, and Mr. Quillere was an attentive princely partner.
What was billed as the ''concert version'' of ''Who Cares?'' turned out to be the sequence of solos and duets that are the choreographic heart of this ballet to orchestrated Gershwin songs. Coming after extroverted ensembles and preceeding a splashy finale, these smaller-scaled episodes convey a sense of intimacy. The cast invested each solo with its own special personality. Ms. Seay was frisky. Ms. Kronenberg emphasized the choreography's quirky shifts of weight and direction. Ms. Fulleton whirled happily. Mr. Quillere was insouciant. And when the women took turns dancing with him, each duet suggested that these were people who loved to be together.
The program included two works by the company's capable resident choreographer, Jimmy Gamonet De Los Heros: ''Nous Sommes'' and a suite from ''Transtangos.'' ''Nous Sommes'' was the more striking. Filled with complicated lifts and entwinings, this pas de deux could have been nothing but blatant exhibitionism. But the way Iliana Lopez and Franklin Gamero focused so intensely upon each other made each virtuosic phrase the choreographic equivalent of a passionate sigh by lovers totally immersed in their own private world.
''Transtangos'' combined classical ballet with Argentine tango dancing. The mixture looked forced at times. But Mr. Gamero was convincing in a brooding solo in which leaps eventually resembled acts of defiance, and his duets with Ms. Lopez were sultry and sizzling.

This is a 14 year old Brooklyn, NYC, NY teenager who had begun suffering from severe Gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, from a young age. He was extremely self-conscious about his appearance and endured significant teasing from his peers. He became so embarrassed about the appearance of his chest and at the prospect of participating in activities, such as gym class, where he was required to remove his shirt, that he even began skipping school. His parents became concerned for his psychological welfare and decided to consult with Dr. Mordcai Blau, who is recognized as a leading authority in Gynecomastia surgery world-wide. Dr. Blau explained to the boy and his parents that Gynecomastia affects between 30% to 60% of adolescent boys, and although milder cases will resolve by age 17, severe of tubular cases will not dissipate with maturity. His parents decided that the quality of the boy's life would be much improved through surgical correction. They felt comfortable with Dr. Blau upon learning that he has successfully corrected numerous other Gynecomastia teens with similar conditions. They were further impressed to learn that over 50% of Dr. Blau's practice is dedicated to the correction of Gynecomastia Male breast reduction surgery was performed, excising the head and tail of the glandular tissue underneath the breasts, along with a small amount of liposuction. The young boy is relieved to be rid of his prior condition and his parents see a new confidence in their son. Dr. Blau sees patients from across the country, from San Antonio, TX, Portland, OR, Philadelphia, PA, and Cleveland, OH. Call Dr. Blau's office at 914-428-4700 if you would like to find out more information about being a patient.
