Sarah Martindale, age 17
Past Medical History:
Drug History:
You will readily reveal the following:
Opening Line:
"I didn't really want to come because its embarrassing, I've been building up the courage to come here, and am feeling very nervous."
Only continue with the history if the doctor reassures you and you feel comfortable in their presence.
Presenting complaint:
You have some painful spots down below that you noticed 2 days ago.
History of presenting complaint:
They really hurt, especially when you wee, and when you tried to look with a mirror, they looked like mouth ulcers. You are really embarrassed to talk about this, but now it hurts so much you are walking funny because your knickers are rubbing on them. You desperately want something for the pain, and preferably to make them go away.
Reveal the following only if asked:
You have regular periods which started when you were 12. You have no vaginal discharge or bleeding between periods. You have no abdominal pain or fever, and you are generally well in yourself. You haven't asked your boyfriend if he has any spots because it's embarrassing as you suspect this is acne, and you'd rather he didn't know about it.
You haven't had any major problems, and have been lucky that you haven't had any acne in the past. You don't take any regular medications and you have no known allergies. You've never had cold sores.
Social History:
You do not smoke and you do not drink alcohol. You are a student at business college and live with your parents and two younger brothers. You have good friends.
Sexual History:
Reluctantly answer questions about your sexual history: you do have a boyfriend who is in college with you (also 17), and you do have vaginal sex with him. The sex is consensual. You don't have any other form of intercourse. You have been together now for 4 months, before this you have had boyfriends but never had sex. You haven't started any tablet contraception because your mum is nosy and she would go mad if she found pills in your drawers, but you do use condoms most times (sometimes you don't have any on you). You're not interested in starting any tablet contraception today.
Ideas:
You have had an outbreak of acne on your 'down-below' bits
You are highly embarrassed and also in a lot of pain, you're also concerned that if this acne could spread to your face.
To get some cream for them
Your Reaction:
If you are told this is sexually transmitted, you want to know if there is a treatment to get rid of it. You haven't had sex with anyone apart from your boyfriend so where has this come from? Has he been cheating on you? (if asked he had a long term girlfriend before you started going out). You will accept any medication offered and will agree to go to a sexual health clinic as long as your details remain confidential. You will also agree to tell your boyfriend and ask him to get screened if you find out that he could have contracted this prior to going out with you.

Genital herpes is a common infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It causes painful blisters on the genitals and the surrounding areas. As genital herpes can be passed to others through intimate sexual contact, it's often referred to as a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Genital herpes is a long-term condition. The virus remains in your body and can become active again. The average rate of recurrence is four to five times in the first two years after being infected. However, over time, it tends to become active less frequently and each outbreak becomes less severe.
There are several areas to cover in this case. Firstly there is the presenting complaint - a fairly typical history of genital herpes, first presentation. This should prompt you to ask a full sexual history - often if there is one sexually transmitted infection, there is likely to be another. Although she does not have symptoms of any other STI, she should still be advised to go to a GUM/sexual health clinic for testing - many people remain asymptomatic.
The next issue is her age. Seventeen year old individuals can legally have sex, but can also be a vulnerable group - it is still important to ascertain the age of her boyfriend, and to ensure she is not being coerced. You can reassure her that what she tells you will remain confidential, as long as she is not in any danger or doing anything illegal.
Finally there is the issue surround infidelity. Genital herpes can be asymptomatic, and can also be recurrent with long periods of latency in between. It is possible that her boyfriend has been unfaithful, but that is not necessarily the case. If he has been sexually active before, he could have contracted it then without realising. If possible she should be persuaded to talk to him and have him tested and treated as well, otherwise infections will simple pass back and forth.
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, either type 1 or 2. It is spread by direct contact with any lesion, including mouth, hands or sexually. Up to 80% of infected people are asymptomatic, and the latent virus can reactivate causing recurrent genital herpes. Along with the painful blisters, symptoms can also include vaginal discharge, dysuria, fever. The examination findings externally are usually bilateral blisters/vesicles that are very tender. The diagnosis should ideally be made at a sexual health clinic, but if the history and examination findings are consistent with genital herpes, treatment can be offered in primary care along with advice to have further investigation.
Diagnosis based on clinical findings alone can be unreliable, therefore virology swabs are usually taken in GUM clinics, and is the most common way in the UK to diagnose the condition.
The management is different for a first episode compared with recurrent episodes. All patients should be advised to have a full sexual health screen at a specialist clinic (see local guidelines), and special attention should be paid to anyone who is immunocompromised (pregnant, HIV) or seems unusually unwell (think herpes meningitis). The treatment is oral aciclovir (200 mg five times a day) within 5 days of the start of the episode or while new lesions are forming. Continue for 5 days, or longer if new lesions are still forming while on treatment, along with simple analgesia (paracetamol/ibuprofen) and barrier cream (something like sudocreme or vaseline) for topical relief. Avoid sex until the lesions are gone. Avoid sharing towels. Although there is no cure for genital herpes, but many people will not get symptoms, and those that do tend to improve over time.
Recurrent episodes can often be managed with self care measures alone (pain relief, either systemic or topical). If not, the same dose and course of oral acyclovir can be used. If episodes are frequent or not responding to treatment, consider specialist referral.
What if the patient won't go to a GUM clinic???? - (the following is taken from NICE CKS)
For people unwilling to attend GUM:
Follow up after 5 days to determine the effectiveness of treatment and discuss the virology swab result (if taken). Explain that even with a negative swab result, they may still have genital herpes. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by further attacks and herpes simplex virus detection.
Explain that a first clinical episode may not necessarily indicate recent infection nor that a partner has been unfaithful (if appropriate). They could have acquired the infection (sub-clinically) years previously, or the herpes virus (type 1) may have spread from elsewhere on their body (such as lips or fingers).
Explain that transmission can occur when there are no symptoms (asymptomatic shedding), but the risk is higher when symptomatic. Advise the person to:
Avoid sex (including orogenital sex) if lesions are present.
Use condoms with new or uninfected partners. Explain that condoms cannot completely prevent transmission, due to close skin contact or contact with infected secretions during foreplay.
Advise people who are concerned about transmitting genital herpes to long-term partners that their partner may already be infected even if they do not have symptoms, and that they should seek advice from a specialist in GUM for screening.
Explain there is no cure for genital herpes at present. However, symptoms improve (reduce in frequency and severity) with time and can be well controlled. On average, people have 4–5 attacks of genital herpes a year in the first 2 years.
Try to convince the patient to have a sexual health screen in house (if offered) - remember that if the patient doesn't want a pelvic exam, a self-taken vaginal swab or first-void urine specimen should be sent for testing for chlamydia, and gonorrhoea can be tested from a urethral swab.

The futuristic look for Sydneys schools
Monday, June 3, 2019 Jake McCallum | Rouse Hill Times
Santa Sophia Catholic College Box Hill is the new school earmarked to bring thousands of students to a bustling new community in Sydney's north west — and you can have your say on it from today.
The futuristic look for Sydney's schools - No longer the tired brick-block look, Sydney's schools are set for a futuristic architectural makeover
Thousands of students could soon be learning in a new multi-storey school located in the heart of a new retail, residential and commercial precinct in Sydney's north west.
The new kinder to year 12 school — Santa Sophia Catholic College — would include enough space to cater for close to 2000 primary and secondary students, as well as a 60 student Catholic Early Learning Centre in the growing Hills residential precinct of Box Hill.
Plans for the iconic school, which will neighbour a soon-to-be constructed shopping and commercial precinct, have been revealed as part of the public exhibition of the multi-million development application.
School principal Mark De Vries said the Catholic Education Parramatta Diocese was "creating exciting learning and play spaces that will foster creativity and collaboration and prepare our students for life".
Artist impressions of the Santa Sophia Catholic School which will be built in Box Hill.
The multimillion-dollar development application for Santa Sophia College was submitted by the Parramatta Catholic Education Diocese for the Box Hill Town Centre to The Hills Shire Council on December 21 — and is currently on exhibition through the NSW Planning Major Projects division.
According to planning documents, the proposal earmarks the construction of a six-storey educational facility across more than 15,000 sqm featuring a knowledge centre and cafe, art and applied science hub, multipurpose hall, music, dance, and drama hub and a science and fitness research hub.

Despite being surrounded by retail, commercial and residential precincts, a spokeswoman for the diocese said the school will occupy its own "separate premises".
"The location will enable students to build close connections with their community," she said.
"Students of Santa Sophia will have access to many of the brand-new community facilities including world class sports facilities owned and operated by the Hills Shire Council (and) the community will have access to school facilities outside of school hours."

In response to concerns about a lack of community consultation surrounding the relocation of the school from Terry Rd to Fontana Drive in Box Hill, Catholic Education executive director, Greg Whitby, said the college was on track to open as scheduled in 2021 at The Gables.
"Santa Sophia Catholic College will be a safe, vibrant learning environment with a strong focus on building connections between young people and where they live, learn and play," he said.
Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta executive director Greg Whitby
"The decision to locate Santa Sophia at The Gables was made for several key reasons — it means the College can open in 2021, it will be possible to build the whole school in one stage as opposed to building in multiple stages, something we have never been able to do before (and) the college has a unique opportunity to use community facilitates as well as share its facilities with the community."
Mr Whitby said the Terry Road site would "not have the same level of community infrastructure in place".
"It will not be possible to open a school on that site until 2023 at the earliest," he said.
He also revealed the Catholic Education office would not sell the Terry Rd site: "a future school will be required, and the expectation is for it to be built on this site."
The school has worked to establish a planning and design committee, made up of parent representatives, to provide input on the designs for the futuristic school.

NSW Planning's priority projects executive director, David Gainsford, said The Hills was growing rapidly.
"We welcome opportunities to consider new school developments that include all age schooling and before and after school care," he said.
"It is important we plan for growth and consider community feedback for these types of development.
"All the feedback will help us assess the development application and the proposed amendments to the planning controls, so we can work towards the best outcome for the community."
The NSW Planning Department is calling for community feedback on draft plans for the new school, which is on public exhibition from now until June 26.

How Yankees pitching plans could change if ALCS Game 4 is postponed

Yankees' left field hole hasn't been filled since this player flopped
Aaron Hicks, Josh Donaldson talk is missing Yankees' bigger issues
What the Yankees see out of a rejuvenated DJ LeMahieu: 'Looks like there was never a problem'
Why the Yankees' shortstop competition should be between Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza
With the forecast calling for rain much of the day in The Bronx on Wednesday, Major League Baseball could postpone Game 4 of the ALCS between the Yankees and Astros by noon — moving the game to Thursday, which would push Game 5 to Friday at Yankee Stadium.
And it could significantly alter the Yankees' pitching plans.
If it is a washout, the Yankees could go from using an opener on Wednesday to going back to Masahiro Tanaka on Thursday Game 4 on full rest — and Houston could go back to Zack Greinke.
It would also make a huge difference with the Yankees' bullpen, because the series would lose Friday's off day — meaning the teams would play four games in four days if the series goes seven games.
Chad Green, who may be used as an opener if Game 4 is played Wednesday, threw just eight pitches in Tuesday's 4-1 Game 3 loss. And he said the bullpen was ready for the added workload — even though the Yankees have been especially careful about not letting their relievers pitch on even three straight days.
"I think you know might have to pitch in every game,'' Green said. "At this time of year, you just do it. That's the only mindset to take. You can't worry about 'I threw X many days in a row.' You take the ball when your name is called and see what happens.''
Yankee Stadium in June.Paul J. Bereswill
That's MLB's policy regarding the weather heading into Wednesday.
"We're watching the forecast,'' MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said before Tuesday's game. "We're mindful of two things: We don't want to affect the competitive complexion of the series and we want to be mindful of our fans who've got to get out. We don't want to bring them here if we know we're not gonna be able to play."
Thursday's game is scheduled to begin at 8:08 p.m. If it's moved to Friday, it would likely be either at 4:08 p.m. or 8:08 p.m.
Returning outfielder adds wrinkle to Giancarlo Stanton decision
Fans with tickets to Game 4 will be able to use them for Game 4, whether the game is played Wednesday or Thursday.
The same is true for fans with tickets to Game 5, regardless of when the game is played.
What's less clear is how a potential rainout might impact both teams.
Game 2 starters James Paxton and Justin Verlander would be in a similar situation as Tanaka and Greinke for Game 5. And with the loss of the scheduled off day Friday, the teams could instead go the bullpen route on Saturday for Game 6 before Luis Severino and Gerrit Cole would be on regular rest again for a possible Game 7 on Sunday in Houston.
The Astros can expect more length out of some of their starters — especially Verlander and Cole — and would therefore be less impacted by the shift.

Formed in 2004, South London based quartet The Fallen Leaves have been making a unique noise, blending mod-esque poptones & vitriolic punk urgency, they're one of London's truly great and lost independent bands.
"Punk Rock for Gentlemen" is their idiom and this new release lives up to the motto.
Out In A Forest b/w The Inside Of A Chair, is the bands second 45rpm single, follows a large and prolific number of self-released albums and a debut single on their own Parliament Records label.
Both songs on this release were co-written by the groups founding members Rob Green & Rob Symmons.
Side A 'Out In A Forest' is rooted in a four-chord, power-pop tradition with trembling guitars, weaving bass and a consistent drum beat holding it all together, whilst Rob Green's lead vocal melodically croons on top.
Fans of early indie music, after its initial rise from punk, would enjoy this record it has a certain early Creation or Cherry Red Records feel to it, similarities to bands like The Jasmine Minks, The June Brides & The McTells whilst at the same time showcasing The Fallen Leaves influences from melodic sixties mod-pop via The Who and The Creation.
The Flip-Side 'The Inside Of A Chair' is an instrumental of magnificent proportions. Rob Symmons having been one of the original founding members of cult punk band The Subway Sect showcases with this track alone that he was of great importance to that band and its influence on countless post-punk and 80s indie groups as well as continuing to make music utilising his totally unique guitar sound and style of playing.
The Inside Of A Chair, is a short but venom-filled track which moves along in a menacing manner there is a great sense of frustration in this song, the song title brings up ideas of Kitchen-Sink Drama and certainly doesn't live down that title.
The 45 is limited to 300 copies only, each 45 is housed within a Market Square company sleeve and comes with a hand-numbered postcard.


I know I know, another outerwear 😛 But I just dont get enough warmth during the cold season! I must say though — fall is probably my favorate season of the year — i love all the fiery red and green that props up on the street and in my yard — they look so so pretty! This is my peach tree outside the sewing room — its got gorgeous yellow and red colors, i love it!
It had been a busy few weeks, but I have to sew a little each day to keep myself sane. Remember the coat I tried to make a few weeks ago? Well, I had cut out all the pieces and pinned them togehter, only to realise that it will not work. But it was a beautiful piece of wool from my local hancock, a rare find! So I decided that I needed to salvage the pieces and make a short something. So I just cut my lady grey inspired coat short, and made a lady grey inspired jacket!
Fitting all the pieces into the already cut fabric proved to be difficult, especially that the fabric has stripes on it. I couldnt fit a whole sleeve into the cut pieces, so I had to bridge it with a horizontal piece. It doesnt look bad though!
I did line it with some left over silver satin from my previous projects. Because I didnt have enough wool fabric, the inside wool piece had to be very small.
I made button holes thats way too far from the edge of the coat.
I made button holes thats way too far from the edge of the coat with the size 16 needle for coat material.
It gaps!! I was so mad at myself that I couldnt sleep for hours afterwards! To think that I still make a stupid mistake like this after so many coat projects is just unacceptable!
But well, what is done is done. I still really like the jacket because its perfect to wear to work — it is super warm, since the wool and the satin are pretty thick. It looks great when worn open, as I always do in the office. It fits great and the wool is not scratchy at all. So, I will shut up and stop complaining about the stupid decisions I made with button holes. But, you probably wont be seeing much projects with button holes from me from now on!
Can you see my evil kitty peeking at me with jealousy? hehehe… By the way, I think I will make a tutorial on how I altered the M5525 pattern to make these coats and jackets, as I realize that they are still quite different from the lady grey jacket. Hopefully I will have time to make it in the next few weeks!

Shame about the buttonholes – but if you hadn't told us about it we'd never even have noticed! The cropped style really suits you BTW :)!
that's too bad about the buttonholes, but the jacket looks lovely on you with the exaggerated collar.
Very cute warm looking jacket, I like the fabric.
I know you sew with vintage Singer machines, did you use the Singer buttonholer? I find it works so well and can go through very thick fabric.
hmm! my singer was having some electrical issues when i was making this jacket — the foot pedal wires kept touching and the machine would just go off sometimes! i just fixed it last weekend — opened it up and taped up the exposed wire. i should really look for some button holer for my singer, but i am having a hard time to see how such a simple machine can do button holes with just a different feet!!
I LOVE LOVE your jacket! Hehe… what a great idea to turn the coat into a jacket. Sorry about the buttonholes, but I'm sure it's only noticeable to you and this jacket looks fantastic on you!
Jacket is great, super. May be you can do the bound buttonholes on?!
now, actually, i loved the way the jacket swooped out from the buttonholes (in the first picture)… like claire said, if you hadn't told, we wouldn't know!
hmmmm! now that you mentioned it, i like that too!
wooo! i think i know what you mean,( i was thinking of all kinds of ways to save it too). but all of them couldnt salvage the already holed lining… but if i ever get too bothered by this button hole, i might take up your advice!
The jacket's adorable, and looks perfect on you! I'm one of the few who doesn't much like the Lady Grey coat, but whatever you've done here is inspired. Nice work!

La mangusta liberiana (Liberiictis kuhni) è una mangusta che è stata scoperta nell'omonimo paese nel 1958. Sappiamo poco su questa specie, ad eccezione dei resoconti degli indigeni del luogo. Si dice che quest'animale viva in piccoli gruppi e si nutra di lombrichi e di vari altri insetti. L'esatta distribuzione è sconosciuta, ma dovrebbe estendersi dalla Sierra Leone fino alla Costa d'Avorio. Gli avvistamenti confermati, però, sono ristretti solamente alla foreste della Liberia e al Parco Nazionale di Tai in Costa d'Avorio. Un esemplare vivo è stato esposto allo zoo di Toronto, ma la guerra civile in Liberia ha impedito studi più accurati. A causa del suo areale limitato e della caccia intensiva a cui è sottoposta, la mangusta liberiana è considerata minacciata.

Age UK is a charity organisation that has over 350 retail shops throughout the country. It was formed in 2009 following a merger between Help the Aged and Age Concern and became the largest of the UK charities for older people. The organisation's slogan is 'Love later life' and throughout the years it has been operational it has done all it can to promote that principle and feeling. As a high street retail outlet, Age UK sells a range of pre-loved items, including clothing, footwear, accessories, jewellery, books, toys, homewares, games and ornaments. People like shopping at Age UK stores because they get a bargain and know that their money is going towards a great cause.
Age UK has grown in popularity and now have establishments situated in more than 150 cities, so there is always one near to anyone looking for great value for money. Hull is the place with the biggest number of Age UK outlets, closely followed by Darlington and Bristol. It is very easy to spot, as they have a multi-coloured ribbon fashioned into an infinity sign along with the name of the charity in two different tones of blue as its logo.Age UK opening times will vary. Like most charity shops they tend to be open in normal business hours, Monday through to Saturday from 9am to 5pm and are closed on Sundays. However, it is always a good idea to check the Age UK opening times for individual branches o as this can vary from location to location.
Another reason for differences in Age UK opening times is public holidays. Good Friday and Easter Monday, Boxing Day and New Year's Day and bank holidays may see the stores closing much earlier than usual. You may be able to check the Age UK opening times for the branch closest to you online.

Stage for Age is a group formed by famous names from showbusiness to support the work of Help the Aged initially and now Age UK.
Christopher Biggins currently serves as the chairman, with Lionel Blair as the Vice Chairman and June Whitfield CBE as the president. Vice presidents include Robert Powell and Sylvia Syms OBE.
Age UK have run the Big Knit, in which supporters are encouraged knit woollen hats to fit on Innocent Smoothie bottles. Since 2003, this has raised over £2.4m.
Like other chains of charity shops operating the country, Age UK stores sell a wide variety of different items for bargain prices. Although the proceeds of their sales go towards the older people of the country, there are products and items sold in-store that will suit just about everyone and anyone. People regularly frequent the stores looking to buy clothes, accessories, books, games, homeware and various other items.
Aside from selling items, stores welcome donations, both money and actual goods to sell. They also are always looking for local people to lend their support and volunteer.
Age UK was formed when Age Concern and Help the Aged, two of the foremost charities for the elderly in the country joined forces. The charity was established on 25th February 2009 and launched at the start of April that year. It continued to use the name Age Concern and Help the Aged until 2010, when it launched as Age UK on 29th April. Along with the main operations, the Age UK branding also includes interdependent, but separate charities covering different regions in the country. These include Age Scotland, Age NI and Age Cymru.
The organisation now has more than 350 of their Age UK charity shops operating in the country.

Strange Alien-Like Dude Seen Sitting In A Car On Google Street View
Don't say we never cover the serious stuff.
Oct 26 2022, 15:40 UTC
I want to believe. Image credit: Screenshot of Google Street View
Step aside, SETI. A strange figure caught in the backside of a car on Google Maps has caught the eye of alien hunters. While we doubt NASA will be too eager to follow up on this tip-off, it certainly is a strange sight.
Crystal Patterson, 45, reportedly came across the figure while searching for a local garage sale in the small town of Mapleton, Maine, using Google Street View. While on her digital drive through the neighborhood, she noticed a car that appears to have a naked driver, so she zoomed in for a closer peek (hey, you would do the same.)
The potentially nude driver was suddenly of little concern. Inspecting the car closely, Crystal noticed a faint humanoid figure that looks like a small alien chilling in the back of the car.

Could this be the proof of extra-terrestrial life that scientists have been hoping for? Or is it a totally inconspicuous trick of the eye? We couldn't possibly comment.
Nevertheless, it's not the first time that Google Street View has helped to solve long-standing mysteries. Earlier this year, it was reported that a notorious Italian gangster on the run for 20 years was tracked down to a Spanish town after being spotted on Google Street View.

Hawaiian Electric battery cash incentive goes live
An upfront cash payment is available for residential and commercial customers on Oahu who attach a battery to their home and either use or discharge power during peak hours.
July 20, 2021 Ryan Kennedy

On the island of Oahu where electricity prices are among the highest in the country, a new battery incentive program offered by Hawaiian Electric (HECO) has gone live.
The program pays cash upfront to residential and commercial customers who attach battery energy storage to their existing or new rooftop solar systems.
Participating customers must use or export power during two peak hours, determined by HECO, through Dec. 31, 2023. Expected use/export times will cover two hours, somewhere between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM, a time period when demand is at its highest and solar production begins to wane.
(Read "Energy storage aggregation unlocks benefits for homeowners, grid operators, and installers")
The program is capped by the Public Utilities Commission to a total of 50 MW supplied from storage among all participants. Applications will be accepted until June 2023, or until the cap is hit.
Payments are in a tiered structure and are scheduled as follows: $850 per kW for the first 15 MW, $750 per kW for the middle 15 MW, and $500 per kW for the last 20MW.
For example, a 5 kW battery would earn an upfront payment of $4,250. There is no size limit to an individual customer looking to take advantage of this program.
"This is great news for solar customers in HECO, who already feel the pain of some of the highest energy bills in the country," said Brian Donoho, senior consultant at solar and storage installer Sunrun. Because net metering has been done away with in the state, battery storage "was already a no-brainer to maximize the value of your solar, and to back up your home during outages," he said. The incentive program now means "the value of solar-plus-storage couldn't be clearer."
AES is retiring a coal-fired power plant in 2022, and demand on the grid will continue to rise as Hawaii sees its population continue to grow. These forces often lead to an increase in energy prices, so locking in a secure price for electricity through solar and storage will be appealing to many.
Many installers offer no-upfront cost solutions to those who cannot afford to buy solar. Typically, under a leased program, the installer will take in the upfront cash incentive themselves. Customers benefit from a reduced per kWh electricity rate.
The Hawaiian Electric program is available to both new and existing solar customers. Retrofitting batteries had been a challenge for installers in the past, but it has become a more widely adopted practice now.
"This one-time offer is an excellent opportunity for new or existing solar customers to enjoy the added benefits of home energy storage, support the grid that serves all customers, and move us closer to our 100% clean energy for electricity goal by 2045," said Yoh Kawanami, Hawaiian Electric co-director of Customer Energy Resources.

Still using this model, huh?
Was there someone who liked it? Because, ah, I'm pretty sure this model is the reason you had to finally bring in transmog.
Looks like this is a reward from Mists version of Amphitheater of Anguish/Crucible of Carnage. Definitely designed to be rapidly replaced... seems the 2h dps strength weapon that these questlines drop always has a ridiculously high speed, and this sword is no exception at 3.3 seconds. That alone is one reason you'll want to replace this weapon as quickly as possible.
사테이의 찌르는 검 is one of the chosen quest rewards from the quest 파멸의 투기장, which is found within the M.o.P scenario Arena of Annihilation. As a Death Knight i had a choice between 사테이의 찌르는 검 and 마키의 박살 철퇴.
At item level 450, this sword can be looked at basically as an entry level 2 Handed weapon while you wait for the more powerful item level 463 M.o.P heroic dungeon ones to drop for you. Such as 무덤손길 대검 and 빛파괴자 대검, which is found in Scolomance Heroic and Scarlet Monastery Heroic respectively.
Blacksmith's may also craft a stronger 2 handed weapon, tough not a sword, 명인 영혼검 척살자.
This sword does however offer great value in the form of Transmog, and its interesting to note that it almost matches the DK armor set perfectly. Lost Catacomb Set.
Virtually identical to Swarming Cleaver of Ka'roz, which is BoA and usable from Level 86 onward. And also not unique or unique-equipped, and farmable if you have multiple alts and lots of time (to camp its spawn point).
Differences: This weapon has less crit, more haste, 3.30 speed versus 3.60, but lower min and max damage for same computed DPS. And it looks kinda cooler than the Swarming Cleaver (I just can't get into Klaxxi aesthetics, I guess).
If you haven't had a chance to find or farm the Cleaver, it's better overall than this. But since you get this sword for basically surviving a lol faceroll arena scenario, it's fine as a Level 90 starter sword.

COVID-19: Pivoting to PPE manufacture – Key points to consider
Acute shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the UK have been widely reported. To meet this demand, some companies are now switching their operating capabilities to manufacture PPE for the NHS, care homes and private individuals. However, the regulatory framework applicable to PPE is complex, with reports highlighting that companies are struggling to overcome the red tape.
What remains abundantly clear is that PPE should always meet the necessary safety standards. In fact, the Government reportedly had to withhold the use of 400,000 gowns ordered from Turkey, over fears they did not meet the required safety standards. Regardless, concern remains that some PPE in circulation is substandard or subject to false certifications. Companies should therefore take care when choosing to manufacture PPE and ensure they are comfortable with the safety standards. Equally, those companies purchasing PPE should be confident that the PPE is safe and fit for purpose. This can be achieved through thorough due diligence on the seller, taking all necessary steps to ensure the PPE conforms to relevant requirements and robust warranties in the procurement agreement.
The manufacture and provision of PPE in the European Union is governed by Regulation 2016/425 (the Regulation). Whilst the UK has left the EU, this legislation continues to apply during the transition period. PPE includes "equipment designed and manufactured to be worn or held by a person for protection against one or more risks to that person's health or safety". This wide definition will cover eye protection, facemasks, gloves, gowns and other protective clothing. It will not cover equipment designed to protect individuals other than the wearer. Such equipment will be seen as medical equipment or a medical device and subject to additional regulation.
Where a product falls within the definition of PPE, the manufacturer must comply with the Regulation and the product must comply with the health and safety requirements (in Annex II) and technical documentation (in Annex III). The product must also go through conformity assessment procedures (i.e. be "CE" marked), which are dependent on the risk categorisation of the product.
The UK Government has tried to simplify this process, to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and speed up the manufacture of PPE for NHS and other frontline staff. The main guidance is the Guidance for New High Volume Manufacturers of COVID-19 PPE and the Guidance for New Small-Scale Manufacturers of COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment. Unfortunately, the guidance is complex, with overlapping provisions, and differs depending on whether manufacturers are making high or low volume PPE, and if the end users are private individuals or NHS and other front line workers.
Key points from the guidance include:
Manufacturers remain liable to ensure that the PPE is effective in guarding against the risks it is designed for. Manufacturers cannot disclaim their liability for ineffective PPE.
All PPE manufactured for the COVID-19 pandemic must meet the applicable safety standards e.g. BS/EU standards and, where made for the NHS and frontline workers, applicable technical standards. If a company cannot make the PPE to the safety levels required, its PPE should not be supplied.
The PPE will need to be assessed as safe and subject to a conformity assessment procedure by a third party assessor, known as a "Notified Body". The conformity assessment process will involve testing of the PPE.
PPE manufactured for the NHS and frontline staff cannot be placed on the market or sold/donated to the Government or NHS before being approved by the relevant Notified Body.
Provided PPE is made specifically for the COVID-19 pandemic and it is not for NHS or frontline use, it does not need to have completed its conformity assessment procedure before being placed on the market. However, a manufacturer must have submitted its application with the Notified Body, begun conformity assessment procedures and received confirmation from the Notified Body that the PPE has an adequate level of health and safety, before the PPE can be placed on the market. Full conformity assessment procedures must be completed as soon as possible thereafter.
Any PPE for the NHS or other frontline workers can only be purchased by the Government or NHS and should only be used during the COVID-19 crisis, after which it must be removed from the health system.
Businesses can offer their help to the Government with large volume PPE manufacture for the NHS and frontline staff. However, many reports have discussed that companies, who have submitted their offers to help, have faced delayed responses.
Companies selling PPE for private use should consult with their Local Authority Trading Standards department, who will have additional guidance about PPE manufacture and sale. Such companies should also be mindful of applicable advertising rules when marketing their PPE.

Roman Soldiers conquered the civilized world.
Just like Obama said, whenever conservatives get upset, we cling to our guns and our God. It seems like the natural thing to do.
Since I believe in God, I have to cling to Him in good times and bad, praising him. There is nothing contradictory about that. It just underlines the severity of the difference in what the American people believe, and the actions and beliefs of our government.
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that as a mandate, the health care law would be unconstitutional. However, when viewed as a tax, it is acceptable under the Constitution. In plain language we have surrendered our wealth to the whims of a government by allowing them to levy taxes. Therefore, any tax we see now is justified under that principle.
We have made our beds, now we must lie in them.
Our salvation from this problem lies within ourselves. All we have to do is to vote the oppressors out of office.
In the short term we have a problem. In the long term, we can solve the problem.
What is it that makes a book holy? Wikipedia says a holy book is text or scripture considered sacred by a religion. That can cover a lot of territory, but it will do for my little article.
As Christians, we have the Holy Bible which is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. We view the Bible as the story of the relationship between God the Creator, and mankind. It starts with poetic words in the first chapter of Genesis in the Old Testament, and ends with apocalyptic words in Revalations, the last book of the New Testament.
In between we read of how God favored one people over another, and how this relationship waxed and waned throughout history. With the New Testament, God gives us a new deal in the person of His Son, Jesus. We are given salvation through the act of Jesus sacrificial death, and all we have to do is believe.
Salvation is the gift of God.
Throughout history, Christianity has been under attack. So has the Holy Bible. People deface the Bible, call it fraudulent, drag up inconsistencies in the texts, and generally try to discredit this work. There have been attacks upon attacks.
With all the attacks, the Bible still stands as God's Word. We Christians take offence to the defacing of the Bible, but we are smart enough to know that the Bible is just a book made up of paper and other materials necessary to present the text. The important stuff is the Word of God.
Argument after argument is posed that there are inconsistencies, and contradictions in the Bible. One of the most egregious readings was done by none other than Carl Sagan, dead scientist, astronomer and talk-show publicity hound.
In Sagan's book, Contact, he takes a shot at there being two contradictory creation stories in the first chapter of Genesis. He is correct, there are two stories. However, there is only one way you can read a contradiction into the text, and that is to not understand the context. Sagan decided to take the accounts in an ultra-literal way, thereby establishing different orders for the creation of mankind, animals, and the earth.
There is danger in reading a text that was written in older languages in times when things were different. Context can be everything, and Sagan chose to ignore this. This is called the Fallacy of Contextualism. The link takes you to a scholarly article on this very subject.
In spite of all the seeming contradictions, we still hold to our beliefs. God's Word does not need our defense. Our job is to spread it.
This brings me to the reason for my writing this article. Christians should defend, and spread the Word of God. However, just burning a Bible, or defacing a Bible has no effect on the power and longevity of God's Word.
We don't need to riot, kill, and generally go insane because some people deface or defame our Christianity or the Holy Bible. Jesus and the Bible are stronger than this, and we know that the story of Jesus, and God's Word cannot be stamped out with a few book burnings.


Tagging along. Kourtney Kardashian may be dating Luka Sabbat, but she played the third wheel to sister Khloé Kardashian and her boyfriend Tristan Thompson on their recent night out.
"Third wheel life," Kourtney captioned an Instagram Story video posted to her account on Saturday, September 22, of her sister and Thompson getting mushy.
In the clip, the basketball player can be heard saying, "Living my best life, with this beautiful woman," in a singsong voice as he pulls her head in for what one assumes will be a kiss, only to lovingly lick her nose. "Living my best life," he repeats.
The athlete also bonded with Khloé's elder sister, teasing her about her penchant for safety. "Tristan's making fun of me for wearing a seatbelt in the third row," Kourtney says in an Instagram Story posted by Khloé on Saturday.
As Khloé's Instagram Stories revealed, the trio also spent some time playing air hockey with one another at Pinz Bowling Alley in Studio City, California on Friday, September 21, while attending the 21st birthday party of Kylie Jenner's BFF Jordyn Woods.
Their evening of fun comes on the heels of a solo outing for the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star, who was spotted at Warwick in West Hollywood on Wednesday, September 19.
A separate source also told Us that the reality star plans to leave Los Angeles and move back to Cleveland, where Thompson is based.

Hyundai Recalls SUVs; Software Flaw May Stop Acceleration
Filed Under:Auto, Consumer, Hyundai, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Recall
PETALUMA, CA - APRIL 03: The Hyundai logo is displayed on the front of a new car at Petaluma Hyundai on April 3, 2013 in Petaluma, California. Hyundai and Kia announced a recall of nearly 1.9 million vehicles in the U.S. for problems involving air bags and faulty brake light switches. Of those vehicles, 1.7 million from both makers between 2007 and 2011 share a faulty brake switch and 194,000 Hyundai Elantras are being recalled from 2011 to 2013 for a defective airbag assembly.

Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter
DETROIT (CBSMiami/AP) — Hyundai issued a recall on about 41,000 small SUVs in the U.S. over a software glitch that could stop vehicles from accelerating.
The recall came after pressure from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It covers 2016 Tucson models with seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions made from May 20, 2015 to May 31, 2016.
Hyundai says it started getting reports in June that the engines would rev but the SUVs wouldn't move after coming to a stop. The problem was intermittent and often didn't repeat itself, the company said in government documents.
Engineers traced the problem to the transmission control computer that monitors driving to refine gear shifting. If the gas pedal is repeatedly cycled, the Tucson's may not accelerate, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai at first sent a service bulletin to dealers but decided to do a recall after meeting with the safety agency on Aug. 10.
The recall began Sept. 7. Dealers will reprogram the transmission computer.

LIFEHOUSE Inspiration and experimentation lead to a sound shake-up on their latest Since their 2001 monster hit "Hanging by a Moment," Lifehouse has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. But the big numbers are just a byproduct of the band's vision. "We've been a pretty insulated group," says lead singer Jason Wade. "We're on the same label as these acts like Black Eyed Peas, U2 and Lady Gaga, but we do our own thing."...

DAR WILLIAMS Making sense of the modern world through the myths of an ancient time When she titled her eighth and latest album In the Time of Gods, singer and songwriter Dar Williams wasn't just looking for something that sounded lofty. On the contrary, Williams has lately been fascinated with Greek mythology and its gods and goddesses—Zeus, Hermes, Athena and their compatriots, whose tales she considers a prism through which to see the...

U2 A look back at the making of The Joshua Tree on its 25th birthday. In the middle of the 19th century, members of the still-new Mormon religion found themselves under attack from theological opponents. By the time the church's founder, Joseph Smith, was killed by an angry mob in Illinois in 1844, his followers were already making their way westward in search of more tolerant climes. Their journeys brought them by the mid-1850s to the Mojave Desert,...

← Another half-billion dollar Barbados resort announced with standard fanfare, concept paintings etc.
Before we all go running off proclaiming that this or that is the truth, keep in mind that Barbados Free Press is an anonymous blog, and that someone using the name of "St. George's Dragon" posted some information as a comment through one of those European anonymous proxies.
Maybe this is a personal vendetta and totally false. Maybe it's a little bit true. Maybe it's all true.
Whatever the story, rumours about another half billion dollar project on our little island are important enough that this story deserves to be vetted in public. Especially considering how much our coastline has been blighted by unfinished projects.
We just posted our story Another half-billion dollar Barbados resort announced with standard fanfare, concept paintings etc. when along comes St. George's Dragon to have his or her say.
We've emailed Ecoterra to get their comments, but haven't received anything back from them. If we do, we'll be happy to post their side of the story with equal prominence – maybe more.
Shin Lee is a Managing Partner at CF Canada Financial Inc., Toronto, Canada. He is also a founding JV Partner at Pure Beach Resort & Spa, and Eastern Regional Manager at Accolade Lands. In the past, he was Chief Marketing Officer at Ecoterra International Corp, and principal at Tritan Canada Financial.
We also found that Alex Gross of 202 – 130 Spadina Ave. Toronto, Ontario Canada m5v2l4 registered the domain name of EcoTerraInternational.com.
For a company which says it is a leading developer of waterfront locations throughout the world ecoterra is a bit shy about saying what they are. If you go by their website, they only seem to have one project on – Foul Bay.
The company was incorporated in 2008. Its filings for 2009, 2010 and 2011 are overdue.
Its Director of Development, Kris Parthiban, has been associated with two previous projects, 11 Christie Street, Toronto and Elevator Bay, Kingston, Ontario. Both were developed by a company called Lux Group Inc. Remember that company's name.
Another Director of ecoterra is Lennox Gibbs . A Lennox Gibbs (charitably, it may be a different one) is also Managing Director of Global Operations and a Director of Strategy International Insurance Group Inc (Strategy Group).
Strategy Group gave a guarantee on both Christie Street and Elevator Bay.
Two other Guarantors were Strategy Holding Company Limited (Strategy Holdings), a Barbados company and Strategy Insurance Limited (Strategy Insurance), which is listed as being at the Sagicore Corporate Centre, Wildey and is meant to be the "predominant subsidiary" of Strategy Group.
Strategy Group has a market capital of just $90,000 which looks a bit odd when its subsidiary Strategy Insurance, when it was approved by the Supervisor of Insurance here, was meant to have an equity value of $506,524,914.
Strategy Group owns a company called Strategy Real Estate Investments Limited (Strategy Real Estate). In the New York Courts, Strategy Group and Strategy Real estate were named in a legal action. The background to it was a deal to raise US$50 million of funds to invest in short-term mortgages in Canadian real estate being developed by Lux Group (that name again!), which was a company "under common control" with Strategy Real Estate.
"Three individuals, John Hamilton, Sandro Sordi and Kevin Hamilton, were described as the management team in charge of investing the funds. Background information regarding their previous financial and business experience was provided. However, McMahan failed to disclose that all three men had either prior criminal convictions or other legal problems throughout their careers.
Specifically, in 1995, Sordi and John Hamilton were involved in writing false and postdated checks to their employees arising out of a failed donut shop. Also in 1995, Sordi pleaded guilty in a Canadian court to criminal charges associated from willfully furnishing false information and misappropriating government funds. In 2002, Sordi was found guilty in Broward County, Florida,….. of fraud and theft arising from two separate actions.
Kevin Hamilton was quoted as being the Chief Executive Officer of Lux Group in 2009.
So what does all this mean? One Director of ecoterra used to work on developments for a network of companies which were run by individuals who had criminal backgrounds. Another was a Director of an insurance company group which again had the same or similar Directors.
Neither may have had any idea about what was going on.
Do you think it is a good idea to invest in the Foul Bat development? Would you recommend it to your friends?
No comments from the developer………no answer is an answer as well.
The website sez Groundbreaking is today Oct. 26th!
another Clico type game of generating fees without actually doing or producing anything except sucking in naive foreign investors.
Hmmm………strange….and why would town & planning give them development permission? Do they not do background checks on these developers? I'm think I'm going to write another letter to town and planning.
Whether honest or dishonest, that is a serious concern but where there ground breaking activites were held was a little square brick house built by my late uncle Therold Barnes and later purchased from my aunt by an American, David Lawson. The house was a basic as possible and really cheaply built. I lived there for 11 years. My worry is the rock base of that area. Almost directly infront the house is an area which is nothing but one large crack or hole through which when cleared at the surface, one can feel wind coming up. One only has to look at the Crane and see that there is not SOLID ROCK FOUNDATIONS but never ending boulders which have to be bound together carefully. Closer to home a huge piece of cliff fell off into the sea – the gaping concave space which remains could cause further cliff loss. Severe cracks are pretty common place and I hope the developers take special note that if during construction they cause or appear to cause further cliff deterioration neighbours will have to seek to stop the construction.
Interesting…..3000 new familes coming into a resort that has 300 suites….very interesting indeed…and who actually will own these suites.
Maybe they will do time shares?
-placement a mere eight feet apart….NO boundary line -becoz there's no boundary,duh.
The Villages at Coverley -a ghetto in the making!
You haven't heard half the story folks, there's that little problem facing the directors of Ecoterra known as 151 Eglinton Ave., West in the city of Toronto. The investors are facing the real possibility of losing most if not all of there investment. Stay tuned, more to come.
I am Kris Parthiban written in this article. I want to make clear of some facts about my involvement in these Organizations mentioned above. I was merely a project consultant to these organization. I put together project plans and financials based purely on the input provided to me by the principles of the companies.I was never a shareholder in any of these companies or a decision maker. In fact I was also a victim in the sense that I was not compensated fully for my time and I am still owed money by these companies which I do not have any hope of getting it. Just to make it clear to the readers of this blog.
So tell us more about the Foul Bay project Kris.
It sounds like you are not entirely on-side with the principals of the company behind the development. What is going on?
I do not know any details on the project after April 2011 at which time I terminated my services with the commpany. I am still owed for my services. Sorry I do not know what is the status of the project now.
I wonder if they and Harlequin have paid Land Taxes due to the Barbados Government, since their purchases of such extensive and valuable costal properties? When will we ever learn from our mistakes?


Workers who are not able to find documents stored on office equipment may find that their relationships with colleagues become strained, according to a new survey.
Many employees responding to the TOWER Software poll reported that stress, frustrations and arguments may be some of the outcomes of these office equipment problems.
Nearly one-third (32 per cent) of staff said that they have been faced with lost documents on office machines while covering someone else's job or starting a new position.
Of those who had been in that situation, 87 per cent said that there were negative results arising from the experience.
David Oates, vice president for TOWER Software, said that the problem may arise because people are not also very organised about how they organise their documents on their office machines.
"In our fast-pace modern business environment time is a precious commodity that most busy employees simply can't afford to waste," he remarked.
Mr Oates added that "it's no wonder" that tensions and stress may arise when employees are left searching office machines for missing information.
TOWER Software is a provider of enterprise content management.

The CAAB-3 project is ready to launch with the completion of the construction the PV plant and the storage system installation. REA, CAAB's technical partner during the development phase, has conducted the work supervision during the construction phase
The CAAB-3 project is completed with the installation of 450 kWp photovoltaic plant on the rooftop of CAAB's office building combined with a storage system of 50 kWp and 210 kWh. This battery will help CAAB to self-consume up to 80% its annual electricity needs.
Thanks to the new plant, an annual electricity production of about 520,000 kWh per year will be guaranteed and this production is capable of satisfying the average consumption of 200 families.
In the actual energy scenario in Italy, the self-consumption is about 28.2 TWh which is 9% of national electricity consumption (302 TWh if we consider the energy balance of 2017), and about 15% of this small percentage comes solely from photovoltaic plants. In such context, the CAAB-3 project has a demonstrative value but it is exceptionally innovative due to the combination of photovoltaic technology and a utility scale lithium ion storage system that increases the self-consumption rate of the energy produced. This is a remarkable situation in a market that, net of applications in pilot projects, is characterized by sizes firmly anchored to the residential ones.
The installed storage technology, provided by Energy Srl, includes the hybrid inverters which are capable of integrating both inverter and storage functions. This system is also integrated with a "tracking" software of the load curve that will optimize the use of the energy stored inside the batteries.
"The CAAB-3 demonstrates that photovoltaics is able to play a central role in self-production systems for both households and industrial users " explains Prof. Giuseppe Mastropieri, REA managing director and a professor at the international degree course of Electrical Engineering of University of Bologna, "combined with the storage technologies and careful measurements, it is able to increase the operational flexibility of solar systems and the self-consumption percentage with even double-digit return".
The contribution received from the Fondo EnERgia, revolving fund of Emila Romagna region which guaranteed 90% of the financing for the realization of the project with a facilitated rate, made the intervention possible. The IRR of the project is above 6%, also due to the effect of access to the Scambio sul Posto and the Iperammortamento.
The installation of the CAAB-3 project was designed by REA Srl and executed by Kineo Energy e Facility Srl, which is a member company of the consortium Consorzio Integra Società Cooperativa, the successful tenderer. The project is now completed and awaiting connection to the electricity grid (anticipated by March 15th 2019) and the primary technical testing is scheduled towards end of March.
Thanks to this project, CAAB's electricity users will be completely connected to photovoltaic plant CAAB-3, starting from 2019.
CAAB used REA for work supervision and safety coordination during the construction and engineering phase, under Eng. Fabio Amico's supervision.
"It was a pleasure to be at the forefront of such an innovative project", says Eng. Fabio Amico, Director of Engineering and Development of REA, who oversaw the Works Supervision in the executive phase "we hope this kind of projects to become more and more frequent also in Italy, we finally see reliable technological solutions for industrial application; we believe that from 2020 it will also be possible to study solutions of 400 kW / 2200 kWh which can be ideal for the context of SMEs, also due to the costs of batteries that are expected to fall by 20% over the next 5 years ".
"We finally see a new generation of energy managers appear in the companies - concludes Mastropieri - able to seize the opportunities to offer power and regulation services, using at best the potential of these technologies. These aspects must be considered in the business plans".

Kent and Lime is a leading online personal styling service for men based in Sydney, Australia. When a customer opens a Kent and Lime account, they're assigned a personal stylist who helps them build a style profile, manages their orders, handles returns and exchanges, and fine-tunes their clothing choices over time. Shoppers receive their clothing kits in the mail and can try everything on, pick what they want to keep, and return the rest.
We spoke with Lead Developer, James Andrew-Smith, to learn how Kent and Lime has used Front to build the ultimate inbox for their stylists.
What were your team's biggest challenges before using Front?
Our business revolves around getting to know customers deeply in order to pick the styles they'll like. 'Who is the customer? What can I do for them?' are the questions that ground us every day. Men can connect with us on the phone, live chat, email, Facebook message, or SMS text. Having many communication channels made it simple for customers to contact us however they wanted — but we saw there was a challenge piecing together a holistic view of each customer. To solve that, we knew we wanted a solution to handle communications in one place.
How do you work together in Front?
With Front, we have a single source of truth for all our customer information. We're spending 2 to 3 hours a day in the app, because it's got everything we need. Account information, styling preferences and more is right there in our inboxes, so we don't have to hunt around to get customers answers. Using Front has allowed us to bring real-time communication to online retail.
How does Front increase your productivity?
We've been able to handle 10,000 inbound messages in the last six weeks with Front. Instead of emailing each other to collaborate, we use comments and @mentions — internal chat messages with teammates that live directly in our email threads.
The Kent and Lime team uses @mentions on email threads to collaborate internally, instead of forwarding emails.
We also send canned responses to guide customers through the styling process. These are emails we can draft and save to use again later, and using rules, we can send these canned responses automatically based on triggers. We've got a response for certain times of the day, for when new customers sign up through the app, for order updates, and more.
Tell us about how you access customer data in your inbox with your Front plugin.
We built our Front plugin to connect our proprietary platform that holds customer information, with our inboxes. It matches customers with their profiles by their unique id, regardless of how they write in — email, SMS text, or chat. Our stylists can automatically see a customer's profile (with styling information like hair color and size), kit status, and history. We can also help customers exchange or purchase items in real time during each conversation.
How does your team keep their messages organized?
We set up an auto-tagging rule in Front so stylists can see a list of every customer online at any given moment. When a customer writes in through the mobile app, they automatically tag the user as "online," and when they go offline, the tag is removed.
Using tags in Front, the Kent and Lime team can see which customers are online and offline at-a-glance. When a customer comes online, their folder appears in the team's inboxes, so they always know which messages need attention first.
Tell us about how you used the Front API to build inbox automations for your team.
Using the Front API, we created a bot that comments on customer conversations with related order and delivery updates. When a stylist pulls up a conversation, everything they need to chat with the customer is all in one place: their contact information across every channel, order updates, and style preferences.
What will you accomplish together next?
Our plans for the rest of this year are mostly customer-facing enhancements. We really want to continue finding ways to enrich their experience. We plan to try to expand to Facebook chat, and take some of the elements of our existing customizations and embed it there. And we'll continue exploring ways we can build on top of Front to give customers a more tailored experience overall.


In the mid-1930s, when the Soviet regime established Birobidzhan as the "Soviet Jewish state" with Yiddish as its official language, the local Yiddish theater assumed new prominence. In Search of Milk and Honey focuses on the theater's role as the standard bearer and guiding spirit of this controversial exercise in nation building. The reconstruction of the ideological and cultural impulses underlying the theater's repertoire not only reveals the circumstances of the social experiment conceived in Birobidzhan, but also presents Jewish culture in the USSR from another perspective.
This book is Volume 1 of the series New Approaches to Russian and East European Jewish Culture.


For many of us, aging seems to have become much easier than it was even a generation ago. I hope that you all will back me up on this statement. I know that each and every birthday, there are more candles on my cake than ever before. However, when I look in the mirror, I don't see an old person looking back at me. Yes, there are certainly more wrinkles, but I always try to keep a twinkle in my wrinkles by having a positive attitude about aging and incorporating laughter and maintaining an enthusiasm for life.
Laughter can keep you young and in good health. Vigorous laughter is like an aerobic exercise and can speed up your heart rate and works all over the body; it decreases stress hormones; boosts our immunity; combats depression; and relieves pain. It certainly is one of my favorite forms of exercise.
So, try to devote yourselves to pleasurable pursuits that bring happiness and laughter into your lives. I am at that age where I have grandchildren. And, they certainly contribute to my having a lot of chuckles and keeping that twinkle in my wrinkles, too.
Laughter is contagious. Make humor a priority in your life and find laughable moments each day to share with your family and friends.
