I'm always in search of new ways to make money online. Cashback apps are a simple way to save a little money on everyday purchases.
Dosh is a Cash Back app the officially launched in November of 2017. It allows you to earn cash back when you shop, travel, or eat out in restaurants.
Dosh is a great way to earn cash back from your everyday spending activities.
In this post, I'm going to give you a detailed and updated 2019 Dosh App Review.
Many people are wondering if Dosh is a cash app scam.
The Dosh app is completely Legitimate. I have personally installed the app on my iPhone (also available on Android) and received cash back from shopping as well as referring others to the app.
I have also successfully transferred my cash back from the Dosh cash back app to my PayPal account.
It is worth mentioning that the Dosh cash app is in its Beta phase. This means that the app has been released to the public with its initial features however it may contain unknown bugs.
Since I've been using the app, Dosh has experienced delays in processing payments and issues with linking Debit and Credit cards.
These issues were resolved quickly and Dosh did a great job at sending emails updating its users on the status of the issues.
December 27, 2018 – Dosh is offering a Limited Time Referral Boost. Through 12/31, Dosh will give you $15 for each friend and family member you refer to Dosh, and they'll give each referral $5 when they link a card.
December 21, 2018 – Dosh has extended their Refer & Get $10 Promotion. You now have until December 31st to get $10 for everyone you refer to Dosh that adds their first card.
December 17, 2018 – Dosh is having a 7 Days of Cash promotion. Through 12/24/2018 get $10 for each friend you refer to Dosh. Your friend will get $5 when they link their card.
Get more cash when you and your friends go to places like Chevron, Texaco, Pier 1, Sephora, Hallmark and more!
November 7, 2018 – Dosh has launched a new improved referral program. Their new program makes it easier to refer your friends to Dosh. As a result, Dosh is paying $10 per referral for 2 weeks only.
Now that you know that Dosh is legitimate, I'll tell you how Dosh works. As I explained earlier, Dosh allows you to earn cash back when you shop, eat at restaurants, or travel.
You receive cash back by downloading the Dosh app and linking the debit cards and credit cards that you use to shop. Dosh allows you to earn cash back on both online and in-store purchases.
Once you download the Dosh cash back app to your phone and link your cards you are done. You will get a free $5.00 bonus.
Then you simply shop, eat, and travel as you normally would.
If you purchase from any of the vendors in the Dosh network you will receive cash back automatically into your Dosh Wallet.
The Dosh app does a great job and showing you the vendors in the Dosh network and how much cash back you get from each vendor. The app even shows you the vendors that are closest to your current location.
The Dosh app can help you easily find a restaurant nearby that allows you to earn cash back.
Interested? Here are step by step instructions on how to set up the Dosh App.
Step 1: Click Here to download the Dosh app. (Note: Make sure you click on this link from your smartphone) The link will open the App Store or Google Play Store and allow you to download the app.
Step 2: Follow the in-app instructions to sign up for a Dosh Account.
Note: Dosh is currently a very popular cash back app. They have a limit on the number of registrations that they can accept per day. When registering you may get a message that you will need to wait until 12:01 PST to register. No worries…. try again after midnight.
Step 3: Click on the "Cards" tab and add your first Credit or Debit Card. Currently, Dosh is giving you $5.00 just for adding your first card.
Step 4: Verify your email address. This is a very important step. Dosh needs to make sure that you own the email address that you used when you set up your account. Dosh will send you an email that tells you how to verify your email.
Step 5: Click on the "Offers" tab to see vendors that are offering cash back for shopping with them.
That's it! You will now begin to earn cash back when you use the credit or debit card that you loaded into the app.
If you would like to add more cards, just return to the "Cards" tab and click on the "Add Another" button.
The Dosh app gives you three ways to make money. These three methods are cash back offers, travel, and referrals.
Cash back offers are listed on the "Offers" tab in the app. This is listing on online and in-store offers that allow you to earn cash back just by purchasing with the debit or credit cards that you have loaded into your Dosh app.
These offers are normally in the range of 2% – 10% cash back. You will find offers from well-known vendors like Sams Club, Denney's, Forever 21, and Bed Bath & Beyond just to name a few.
Dosh allows you to earn cash back when you book hotels and activities directly from the app. Not only do you get cash back, but you also get discounted rates.
To view Travel offers, click on the "Travel" tab from within the app. When booking hotels with Dosh, it will tell you both the rate for the hotel per night and how much total cash back you will earn for the duration entered because you booked through Dosh.
For those of you that want to earn a little extra cash, Dosh allows you to earn money by referring friends to use the app.
Dosh will give you $5.00 for every person that uses your referral link to download the app and add their first card.
Once your referral sets up their account Dosh will send you a notification alerting you that you have a new referral. Dosh will then place $5.00 into your Dosh wallet 48 hours after your referral adds their first card.
The person you referred MUST add a card before Dosh will pay you for the referral.
Dosh allows you to refer friends and businesses. When you refer a business to Dosh you will receive 20% of their marketing fees for two years.
To get your Dosh Referral link, click on the "Social" tab from within the app. Once on the social tab, you can share your referral link directly to Facebook, Twitter, via Text, and via Email.
You can also copy your referral link to your phones clipboard and share your link anywhere you like.
If you are looking for other legitimate ways to make money online, check out the following related blog posts.
Download the Dosh App, Go to the Refer page and share your unique link with your friends. It's that easy.
It's nice having money in your Dosh Wallet but how do you turn that into real cash?
Dosh pays out by allowing you to transfer the balance of your Dosh wallet to your bank account or your Palpal account. You must have at least $25 in your Dosh wallet in order to do a transfer.
It can take anywhere from 2 – 5 Business Days for the money to appear in your account.
I have done multiple transfers from my Dosh wallet to my Paypal account. I have had times when the money showed up in my PayPal account in 1 hour and other times where it showed up in 3 days.
Just note that it can take up to 5 Business days. After 5 business days, you can easily contact the Dosh support team to resolve any transfer issues.
Dosh is a legitimate cash back app that allows you to make extra money in multiple ways. What I enjoy most about the app is that you don't have to do anything special to earn cash back.
No scanning receipts or starting from a special website to shop online. You simply load your credit and debit cards and shop or eat. That simple!
If you want to learn more about Dosh, I've included the link to the official Dosh website and the Dosh Facebook page which provides good status updates.
So cool definitely going to check out this app! As someone who hates the idea of credit cards but loves the idea of rewards this is amazing!
I'm pretty hooked on Dosh. I love that I don't have to track their offers. I just shop as normal and make cash back.

Coxcoxtli () was a king of city-state Culhuacán.

He had two children — a son called Huehue Acamapichtli and a daughter Atotoztli I, who married Opochtli Iztahuatzin and bore him Acamapichtli, the first ruler of Tenochtitlan. He was thus an ancestor of Aztec emperors.

opportunity__cost: Did Twitter screw up something?
Well, promptly after writing a quick post on reading for GMAT, I mentioned that my blog miss something. My Twitter feed.
At the same time, though, my Twitter account actually works just fine. Hopefully, this is rather minor issue, although it looks like it stays for several minutes so far.
On the other note, what are you using for online annotating of screenshots, images and whatever note? I'm talking about all these fancy notes, comments, blocks, arrows -- I mean -- all the things you're using to communicate your visuals to somebody else?
I've tried PicBite, but actually didn't like it at all. The only thing it can do is this pretty silly rectangle with strange-direction pointing arrow, that I can't change, but can add a second one (or maybe third, and forth, and fifth...).
The good thing about it that it was easy to upload and it automatically advised to resize the image (good point!).
The bad thing (except that it doesn't do much), that it can't host the image to be shown, as well as doesn't give me a good way to download it and so on and so forth.
So what's your secret weapon in annotating things online?

Sony Announce the Xperia Z5 with Fingerprint Scanner
By Tom Dawson September 02, 2015, 8:02am
Since the release of the Xperia Z4, known as the Xperia Z3+ outside of Japan, we were all wondering what Sony were going to do next. Then, the rumors of a new Xperia Z5 started to pour in, and today during IFA in Berlin, Sony officially unveiled the new Xperia Z5 series of smartphones, including a Z5 Compact and a new Z5 Premium with a 5.5-inch 4K smartphone. The middle of the pack, Xperia Z5 is yet another refinement of the Xperia Z design and feature set. With a new and improved camera, two-day battery life and a fingerprint scanner, the Xperia Z5 is a quality smartphone that Sony is hoping will re-energize their mobile brand.
Under-the-hood is a Snapdragon 810, the same used in the Xperia Z3+ as well as 3GB of RAM. However, the camera gets a small bump to a 23-megapixel sensor built with the same sort of technology found in Sony's high-end Alpha line of cameras. This gives the Xperia Z5 4K recording as well as auto-focus speeds of 0.03 seconds, which Sony is calling the fastest for a smartphone. The sensor used here is a 1/2.3 Exmor RS and it's paired with an f/2.0 'G' series lens.
A 2,900 mAh battery is running the show here, and that two-day battery life is back once again, thanks to some optimized software and features such as STAMINA mode. The new Xperia Z5 is running Android 5.1.1 along with Sony's new vision for Android, which basically means a very, very light touch on what Google have created. The new feature here is the fingerprint scanner on the side of the Xperia Z5 where the familiar aluminum button used to be, this has been worked into a device that still features a 5.2-inch 1080p display and measures just 146mm x 72mm x 7.3mm. Another returning feature for the Xperia Z line with the Z5 is IP65, IP68 water and dust resistance, without a cover for the microUSB port. This makes the Xperia Z5 a phone capable of submersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters.
The Xperia Z5 will be available globally from October this year and will be offered in white, gold, black and green.

Q: how to get specific fields by id in Netsuite using RESTlet I could get all the standard and system fields with values of specific record by id in netsuite using below function.
            var response = record.load({
                type: resourceType,
                id: recordId
            });

But I want to get specific fields using above function like below
            var response = record.load({
                type: resourceType,
                id: recordId,
                fields: ["id","name"]
            });

I could get specific fields by search. But search will take time compare than load().

A: You can also use search.lookupFields() which is usually faster that a record.load() or search.create().  It works like this:
var customer = search.lookupFields({
  type: 'customer',
  id: 968,
  columns: ['internalid', 'companyname', 'daysoverdue']
});

log.debug(customer.internalid[0].value);
log.debug(customer.companyname);
log.debug(customer.daysoverdue);

log.debug(JSON.stringify(customer));

The response you get back from search.lookupFields() looks like this:

{
  "internalid": [{ "value": "968", "text": "968" }],
  "companyname": "DataTek Systems, Inc.",
  "daysoverdue": "0"
}

Hello everyone! Andrea Chiarvesio here, designer of Marvel United, Marvel United: X-Men, and I'm proud to say, Marvel United: Multiverse! Today, we're covering the much of what's new in this new core box of the game, apart from, of course, new Heroes and Villains to play.
We will cover 3 things: Equipment cards, Solo mode, and a few characters making a comeback! When we approached designing the second season of Marvel United, the main questions in our heads were "what is the game still missing?" and "What are our players asking for that could make the game better?".
A very vocal request was, "we want each hero to feel more unique." People wanted to see Captain America throwing his shield, Spider-Man using his webshooter, and Thor flying with Mjolnir. We tried to represent these through special powers in the previous season, but it's a huge challenge to represent all the iconic special weapons, equipment, and gear in three or four special cards, while still wanting to also show the hero's true nature and superpowers.
After a lot of brainstorming and a long trial and error design process, the solution came almost naturally to us. Why don't we add Equipment cards to Heroes? Instead of being part of the Hero deck, they would work like the Training cards that we introduced in the Marvel United: X-Men - First Class expansion. We could finally address exactly what players were asking for. Many heroes in this season will come with their own Equipment cards and start the game with these.
As a classic example, Captain Carter will start the game with her signature Shield that can be either thrown to attack an adjacent Location or used to ignore 1 damage dealt to a Hero in her Location. Cosmic Ghost Rider can use his Hellfire Chain to attack enemies in his Location and use his Hell Cycle to fast travel to an adjacent Location. And that's just two of the many examples. This increases the feeling of playing a unique Hero with not only their powers but also their signature gear. But as our smarter readers might have been thinking already, this idea brought some serious balancing issues with it. The extra power and flexibility provided by Equipment would make games a lot easier when playing without Challenges. The best way to make sure the new Equipment was properly balanced was to play the game in Hard Challenge mode, so removing the double wild from the Heroes' deck when using Equipment cards proved to be the perfect way to preserve game balance.
As you might imagine, we also had to make sure that this solution would have worked retroactively for the full United line. This also proved very useful in order to even the scales a little bit between heroes from all the seasons.
Another comment we heard quite often was that players would have liked a way to play in Solo Mode with a single Hero instead of having a team of three heroes. It made a lot of sense thematically, of course. The solo mode for the first two seasons was designed by Rugerfred Sedda in order to preserve the cooperative experience of the multiplayer game and we were satisfied with it, but players were clearly asking for a different experience in solo mode.
Rugerfred was happy to go back and design a totally new solo mode that will see a single hero facing off against the villain. In order to maintain the comic book feeling of a hero facing an enemy alone but being able to count on a cast of supporting heroes, he designed a new mechanic called the Support deck that introduces deckbuilding to Marvel United. I don't really want to say more about it, but I'll just add that not only has it become one of my personal favourite ways of playing Marvel United, but it also led to other mechanics you'll see in Season 3 that I am not at liberty to discuss in this article yet…
There is still a lot left in the Master Plan. Trust me. Another request that we heard loud and clear from our players was that they wanted the possibility to play with a heroic version of Loki. You were heard! This Multiverse core set indeed comes with an incredible set of Heroes, Villains, and one special Anti-Hero, Cosmic Ghost Rider (he is the Villain we would suggest to face off against first when discovering the Multiverse. Try to stop him while he is trying to punish the bad guys that he has decided are beyond redemption).
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the amazing gameplay twists that Season 3 has in store for our players! What's next in the Master Plan?

gait that it uses to walk on land. Academic demonstrations are important steps towards solving these problems. They get into a positive feedback loop of oxytocin levels mediated by the external behavior of each in making sustained eye contact. And by short term, I mean the things we have already been how to start a life essay about myself working on for forty plus years, sometimes sixty years already. And then it will exponentially grow smarter than us, and so, naturally, it will kill us all. We are incredibly good at recognizing faces, and despite recent advances we are still better than our programs. It is because humans wrote the books and implicitly know what background information all human readers will have. Again, dont hold your breathfifty years is a long time for a human to go without oxygen. This results in a process known as electrowetting, in which the application of voltage reduces the contact angle between an object and the surface of the water. But for SLP, the Services Logistics Planner, it will need to be a lot more generic. We have to figure out what those two possibilities mean.

"Caretta" is the Latin name for loggerhead sea turtles, which have an inner navigation system that allow them to return to the location where they first began, even after many years and having traveled many thousands of miles. Check them out here. We think they're pretty impressive creatures!
Like the loggerhead, we've also gone back to our roots. Prior to Caretta, Eric Becker and his partners founded Sterling Partners, a middle market private equity firm that over its 30 year history raised about $6bn, 8 funds and invested in over 100 companies. Caretta focuses where Eric began his career — supporting the growth of and creating differentiated businesses with patient, flexible and value-added capital.

AFL Round Table: The Grand Final's 'best moment'? How Sydney takes the next step
The AFL's next big stat ... revealed? (1:30)
Christian Joly from Champion Data discusses the stats that AFL clubs are keen to measure more, a new one being ubbed 'intercept... returns from... stoppages'. (1:30)
Our AFL experts tackle some of the burning questions following Geelong's barnstorming Grand Final win over Sydney, including what was 'the moment' for the Cats, how the Swans can take the next step, and more.
What was the 'best moment' of the day for Geelong?
Rohan Connolly: In a "it's ours" sense, probably Isaac Smith's third goal early in the third quarter which blew the gap out to 54 points for the Cats. But emotionally, surely it had to be skipper Joel Selwood's goal in the last, after which he became emotional and was swamped by adoring teammates. That said everything about how hard he has worked to keep this group on track and focused, and just how much they appreciate that.
Jake Michaels: Joel Selwood and Chris Scott hoisting the cup? Given it wasn't the greatest Grand Final contest we've ever seen, there aren't going to be too many moments which stay entrenched in the memory banks. But one that will is Jeremy Cameron's beer-can-opening celebration after his second goal in the final term. Iconic celebration!
Matt Walsh: I mean, the result was known from early in the second term, so from when it was truly party time, it has to be Jeremy Cameron's beer can opening celebration as Jake mentioned. From a broader perspective? I think it's how well Geelong's players handled the off-field occasion, from including Gary Ablett Jr's son Levi in the walkout, to bringing on superfan Sam Moorfoot to join in the celebrations. Just brilliant.
Jarryd Barca: Way too many 'best' moments if you're a Geelong fan, but the one that stands out to me as a neutral was the skipper Joel Selwood's goal in the fourth quarter and the emotions that ensued in the celebrations. You just can't ask for more from a player whose leadership in this league is second to none and ability to stand up in big moments over the course of an exceptional but arduous career is admirable. Couldn't help but smile.

What does Sydney need to do to take the next step?
RC: I don't think the Swans have too much to worry about, really. Certainly they'll another young key forward or two with Lance Franklin and Sam Reid at or near the end, and perhaps a key defender, too, as they don't have the same depth as Geelong enjoyed. But this is mainly just about experience, I think. The Swans' group of younger types, via Chad Warner, Justin McInerney, Errol Gulden and co. is as talented as any bunch of emerging players in the competition. Their future is bright.
JM: Overcome the eight-goal Grand Final defeat curse! Since 1995 there have been nine teams to lose a Grand Final by eight or more goals, none of them have won a final final the following year. Sydney needs to buck this trend in a major way! It all starts with finding a reliable key forward, someone who can take the reigns from Lance Franklin when he likely calls it a day at the end of 2023.
MW: Not get too discouraged from this performance, which is easier said than done having listened to Callum Mills and Isaac Heeney in the aftermath. Broadly, they're a younger list which has a lot of talent across the ground. Yes, in a couple of years they'll lose the likes of Lance Franklin, perhaps Dane Rampe, and maybe Luke Parker, so perhaps investing in mature key position depth should be on the radar.
JB: There's not too much more they need to do to go one step further next year, given the abundance of young talent they've got on their list that virtually carried them to a first Grand Final appearance in six years. I look at players such as Chad Warner, James Rowbottom, Nick Blakey, Errol Gulden, Will Hayward and Dylan Stephens - and there are more - and the class they exude on game day, and think there's just no way they're dropping away. Do others need to take the next step? Sure, Logan McDonald and perhaps Hayden McLean up forward given the ages of current spearheads Lance Franklin and Sam Reid, but the Swans all in all are doing a fair bit right.

Was Isaac Smith the best player on the ground?
RC: Yes. Patrick Dangerfield was sensational, too, but it was a commanding performance from a wing, 32 disposals and three goals as good a grand final game as we have seen from that spot on the ground arguably since Peter Matera's five-goal Norm Smith Medal effort for West Coast back in 1992. Smith's run and scoreboard impact was exactly what Sydney lacked from its midfield group. It was a sensational performance.

• Josh Dunkley's 'rock bottom': 'Was told to jump off a bridge'
JM: Smith was very good but he wasn't the best player on the ground. In fact, I wouldn't have him in my best two. Patrick Dangerfield didn't kick the goals on Grand Final day but he had a ridiculous six direct goal assists and once again dominated in the midfield with a game-high nine clearances and 19 contested possessions. And what about Chad Warner? Yes, his side was belted, but his 29 touch, 18 contested possessions, 10 clearances, 583m gained and two goals was worthy of Norm Smith Medal votes.
MW: When the game was briefly in the balance I think it was Tom Hawkins who was the best player on the ground. Three goals in the first half including the opening two by using his brute strength in the ruck contest - I think his influence early really highlighted how undersized the Sydney defence was. He was magnificent, though Smith and Dangerfield were also sublime.
JB: I'm pretty happy with the Norm Smith Medal voting results and think Isaac Smith is a worthy winner - he was fantastic. But Patrick Dangerfield was better. No Cat had more clearances (nine), goal assists (six!) or contested possessions (19) than the 32-year-old, and it was evident how important his sheer power was around stoppages, continually bursting away from his opponents and getting his hands dirty for his teammates on the outside.
'We call him dad': How Burke is leading the AFLW Dogs
AFLW star Ellie Blackburn shares why coach Nathan Burke's pivotal relationship-building skills has rubbed off on the Western Bulldogs playing group.
Should all players who contribute to a flag-winning season get a premiership medallion?
RC: Whether it's anyone who plays a senior game in that season or there's a minimum number of games to qualify (10 seems like a decent sort of benchmark to me) I tend to think we should honour those who are part of it but not part of the Grand Final 22. Could anyone seriously argue Max Holmes wasn't thoroughly deserving of a medal given his input into the Cats' success this season? Increasingly, it's about a list, not just a team on a given day. That deserves appropriate rewarding.
JM: We seem to ask this every year and I'm always torn with my answer. Part of me thinks it should be the 22 players on the day plus the players who have played a certain number of senior games throughout the season. But where do you draw the line? And what would we say if Cats skipper Joel Selwood was injured in Round 3 and missed the rest of the year? No doubt everyone would want him to receive a medal. As much as it sucks for the players who miss out, I think we leave it as is.
MW: I think as soon as we rip the bandaid off and start doing it, it'll become second nature. Maybe similar to VFL Grand Final eligibility you have a threshold of some form -- one game played, perhaps -- and leave it there. Max Holmes is stiff. Logan McDonald would have been stiff. I think it's time.
JB: I don't think they should because it would genuinely lessen the value of a premiership medallion that would be earned on Grand Final day. And don't give me any threshold - I've heard people say you need to play just one game, some have said 10 is the benchmark - but where does it end? What about the players that play nine? What if the one game played by a hypothetical player was a one-touch effort in a 10-goal loss, did he really contribute? Don't get me wrong, I think a player on any list's contribution in a premiership-winning team DOES deserve recognition, but it cannot be in the form of a medal. Ask any player if they'd think of themselves as a premiership player having not played in the Big Dance...

This example shows how to use a PictureBox to make a slider with a needle in Visual Basic .NET.
This example draws a vertical "needle" in a PictureBox to let the user select a value much as a TrackBar does. The code does all of the drawing, however, so you have control over the slider's appearance. The example also displays the current value in a tooltip above the slider.
The program uses a variable and two constants to track the slider's value and its minimum and maximum allowed values.
' The minimum and maximum allowed values.
The program uses two methods to convert between X coordinates in the PictureBox and values between the minimum and maximum allowed values.
' Convert an X coordinate to a value.
' Convert value to an X coordinate.
This is just math. The only trick here is that the code subtracts 1 from the PictureBox's client width to map the rightmost visible pixel in the PictureBox to the largest allowed value. If you don't do this, then when the user selects the large allowed value the needle isn't visible because it is one pixel to the right of the edge of the control's client area.
When the user presses the mouse down on the PictureBox or moves the pressed mouse over the PictureBox, the MouseDown or MouseMove event handlers call the SetValue method to update the slider's value.
' Move the needle to this position.
When the user releases the mouse, the following event handler sets MouseIsDown so future MouseMove events don't do anything.
' Take action here if desired.
The SetValue method updates the slider's value.
' display the value tooltip.
' Make sure the new value is within bounds.
' See if the value has changed.
' Save the new value.
' Redraw to show the new value.
The code first ensures that the new value is within range. If the user presses the mouse down over the control and then drags it to the right or left of the PictureBox, the value could be outside of the allowed range so this code fixes it.
Next if the new value and the old value are the same, the method exits.
If the method doesn't exit, it saves the new value and refreshes the PictureBox so it shows the new needle position. It then displays the new value in a tooltip above the PictureBox. Finally in this example the code displays the new value in a label.
The last piece of interesting code is the PictureBox's Paint event handler.
' Calculate the needle's X coordinate.
This code simply draws the needle at the corrent position.
Using a SetValue method may seem overly elaborate. You could simply set the new value directly and then refresh the PictureBox in the MouseDown and MouseMove event handlers. The program uses SetValue to avoid doing anything if the value doesn't change. That's important to avoid flicker caused by unnecessary redraws and unnecessarily redisplaying the tooltip.

The New Trans Fat Ban. Yay Canada!
This week Health Canada banned the use of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), the main source of trans fats in our food. I'm obviously one of those 'all foods fit' dietitians. But this man-made ingredient was literally a recipe for disaster when it was introduced in 1911, in the form of Crisco shortening.
Partial hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen molecules to oils until they turn solid at room temperature. This discovery became particularly useful during WWII when butter was in short supply. POH products like Crisco and margarine were more affordable, and improved the shelf life and texture of products. They were widely used in baked goods, frosting, crackers, deep-frying and microwaved popcorn.
When we (prematurely) announced that saturated fats were the enemy in the 50s, people switched from butter to margarine to protect their heart health. Ironic knowing what we know now.
Wwwwhoops
How Trans Fats Break Our Hearts
In the 90s several studies found that trans fats in PHOs increased bad cholesterol (LDL) and heart attack risk. We have since found it also reduces our levels of good, protective cholesterol (HDL).
When oils are partially hydrogenated they take on a trans configuration, vs the usual cis form. This unique structure is uncommon in nature and it interferes with our metabolism of omega-3 fats, the kind that protects us from heart disease. Here is an illustration using blue donuts as carbon and pink donuts as hydrogen molecules.
There is no safe level of trans fat intake.
The Ban Will Work
Canada and the U.S. made labeling of trans fats mandatory in 2002. Fast food chains and food manufacturers then voluntarily removed trans fats from their products. They were eager to take advantage of marketing a 'trans fat free' claim. Intake by the average American decreased from about 4.6g/day in 2003 to 1.3g/day in 2010.
Fast forward to 2015. The U.S. finally removed PHOs from the list of ingredients 'Generally Recognized as Safe'. Canada followed suit this week. All POHs are now illegal in Canadian food products.
It's estimated in the U.S. that 10,000 to 20,000 heart attacks will be prevented per year thanks to the ban.
When New York municipalities made the local decision to ban trans fats in 2008, it took about 3 years for heart attacks to start decreasing in a noticeable way. Hospitalizations were reduced by 6.2% and mortality by 4.5%.
Denmark was the first country to ban trans fats in 2002. They also saw cardiovascular related deaths drop by 14.2 deaths per 100,000 Danes.
How will this affect our food?
Canada's margarine and oil industry basically phased out trans fats a while ago. The products have the same texture and taste but with better nutrient profiles.
No food requires the use of PHOs. They can easily be replaced with a number of other delicious ingredients, but likely at a high price point and shorter shelf life. Overall, I don't think anyone will notice.
Take care of your hearts!

Mile End's Beverage Director Picks The Best Fall Beers | Tasting
Mile End's beverage director picks his favorite fall beers
By Justin Kennedy/Sept. 26, 2014 12:00 pm EST
Mile End Deli in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, has long been a haven for Québécois expats looking to satisfy their fixes for hearty poutine and rich Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches. Over the last year or so, it's also become a destination for craft-beer nerds, too, thanks to the restaurant's bold selection of esoteric saisons, sours and smoked beers.
The beer focus is due, in large part, to the addition of Chris Balla, who sharpened his beer knowledge as a manager at Park Slope's venerable Bierkraft as beverage director. We sat down with Balla to see how (and why) he put together such an unexpected collection of beers from Quebec, Colorado, Switzerland and beyond.
Chris Balla
"I'm always excited about the first changes in the weather in September," says Balla, who organizes his list by price and features only bottles and cans (no drafts). "I find myself wanting beers I haven't tasted in months—stouts, porters, old ales and barrel-aged beers. I tend to favor rustic, wild ales, and I like to explore how they work with food. Most of all, I want to present the beers in a way that isn't scary for our customers."
Here are five of Balla's autumnal favorites from Mile End's current bottle list.
Hopfenstark Boson de Higgs
"Hopfenstark is one of the best saison producers in the world, and they happen to be from near Montreal. Their Boson de Higgs hits all the points I'm looking for in a beer: It's a little bit tart, which I think is excellent for heavier foods; it has a bit of smoke, too, which echoes our house-smoked meats; and it's also low alcohol, which, when you're looking for a happy medium between drinking and eating, is the way to go." $24 for a 750-milliliter bottle
Le Trou du Diable Saison du Tracteur
"This is another beer from the Montreal area. They're a very small brewery focusing mostly on farmhouse ales. This one is a new-wave saison with some tropical characters that intersect with the funky yeast to create interesting flavors. There's also some excellent carbonation on this as well, a head that stays forever." $19 for a 600-milliliter bottle
Trois Dames L'Amoureuse Rouge
"I'm really excited about Trois Dames from Switzerland because they do things that nobody else does. For instance, 20 percent of the fermentable liquid in this beer is red wine must from the Jura region of Switzerland, right on the border of France. So it's a strange saison-wine hybrid with a pink hue and tons of funk. We have a very small wine program at Mile End with exclusively natural wines, and I think this beer is in line with that style, too." $13 for a 12-ounce bottle
Picobrouwerij Alvinne Sigma
"This one's cool because it's aged in stainless steel instead of wood with whole-cone noble hops. It's very dark, acidic and amazingly complex—exactly the type of beer I like to have with smoked meat because it's very rich and full-bodied but also has some tartness to it. You get these musty, leathery notes that I think are so unique and perfect for animal protein." $11 for a 12-ounce bottle
The Monarchy Grodziskie
"The Monarchy is a new brewery that focuses on historical styles. Their Grodziskie is a Prussian-style beer, similar to a German Grätzer. It's a little bit hoppy, light-bodied and very cracker-y with an awesome smoke character. It's made with willow bark, which is a traditional ingredient that adds a little bit of bitterness and really dries out the beer. It's perfect with our hot dog, which is smoked, so it's got a little bit of a kielbasa thing going on." $8 for a 12-ounce bottle

A couple are so distraught following a burglary they are planning to move from the home where they have lived for 20 years, a court heard.
Lee White, 32, smashed his way into the property in St Barnabas Road, North Evington, Leicester, using a concrete slab when the occupants were out, on September 8.
Whilst high on cocaine, he stole £4,500 worth of property.
He also carelessly left the freezer door open causing a leak and ruining the contents.
Neil Bannister, prosecuting, told Leicester Crown Court: "Neighbours called the householders to inform them there was a break-in and they returned home to find the window smashed and items had been stolen from upstairs and downstairs, including a 55-inch television and jewellery.
"A can of cherry flavoured cola had been taken from the fridge and left on a counter.
"A saliva swab from the can matched the defendant's DNA and he was arrested on September 26."
White, of Langholm Road, Thurnby Lodge, Leicester, made no comment in his police interview.
He pleaded guilty to the burglary and was jailed for two years and five months.
Mr Bannister said: "The couple had lived at the house for 20 years and the wife can no longer face living there.
"They are planning to move."
What did the judge tell him?
Sentencing, Judge Philip Head told White: "Your record is unattractive with 37 previous convictions including six commercial burglaries, four dwelling house burglaries and at the time of this you were on licence from a sentence for an attempted house burglary.
"The victims of your dishonesty went away for the day and you forced an entry into the property by breaking your way in with a concrete slab.
"You made an untidy search and left the freezer door open so everything inside was ruined and had to be got rid of.
"You left it open because you didn't care, not because you were deliberately trashing the property.
"I'm told you were high on drugs at the time.
"The victims are so upset they can't face living there.
"They've suffered greater trauma than usual following their house being broken into.
"There's a cost to housebreaking which you clearly didn't learn last time you were sent to prison.
"I'm told you're taking steps within the prison service to address your drug taking."
What was said in White's defence?
Helen Dawson, mitigating, said: "I can't get away from his previous convictions but this was an offence committed on impulse.
"He used a concrete slab to break in on the spur-of-the-moment.
"He has had problems with class A drugs, cocaine and he was under the influence at the time.
"Since being remanded into custody he's undertaken a series of modules to address his substance misuse and has been testing negative."
Miss Dawson said the defendant's partner is expecting their child and he was, despite working at a car wash, having financial difficulties.

Ownership of the two shipwrecks, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, two of the most archaeologically important shipwrecks in the world, was formally transferred to the Canadian government with the signing of a Deed of Gift at a ceremony today. With this historic transfer, Inuit of Nunavut, who played a key role in their discovery, will also become joint owners of the wrecks and artefacts.
The ceremony at the Canadian Museum of History saw the Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, accept ownership of the wrecks on behalf of Canada from the UK government, represented by the British High Commissioner Susan le Jeune d'Allegeershecque CMG. Mr Torsten Diesel, from the Inuit Heritage Trust spoke of the importance of this transfer to Inuit.
The gifting is an historic milestone in the long-standing cooperation between the UK and Canada on the issue.
We have deep historic links with Canada and this gift is testament to our prospering relationship.
The story behind these vessels is both fascinating and incredibly important to the history of both our nations. The UK joined forces with the Canadian government and Inuit population to search for these ships for 172 years and I'm delighted they will now be protected for future generations.
The two ships, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir John Franklin, set sail from England in 1845 on an ill-fated voyage through the Canadian Arctic to find the Northwest Passage. During the treacherous journey, the ships became trapped in thick sea ice. The crews abandoned the ships to trek overland to safety, but tragically none survived.
Despite many attempts to locate the wrecks, they proved elusive for over 172 years. In 1997, the UK and Canadian governments signed an agreement giving custody and control of the wrecks and their contents to Canada, while still remaining property of the UK.
Thanks to Inuit knowledge of the area, along with state of the art technology, Erebus was finally located in 2014 and Terror two years later in 2016 in shallow Arctic Waters.
In recognition of this momentous discovery, the British and Canadian governments jointly settled a new agreement. As of 26 April 2018, ownership of the vessels has been formally transferred to the government of Canada, and by extension, the Inuit Heritage Trust.
Artefacts from the wrecks will be available for display at museums in both countries. Currently there are examples on display at the Canadian Museum of History as part of the "Death in the Ice" exhibit.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the United Kingdom for this exceptional gift of the wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror and all yet-to-be discovered artifacts. Moving forward, we will work with the Inuit Heritage Trust to ensure these historic treasures are protected, and that the intriguing and expanding story of the Franklin Expedition continues to be shared with Canada and the world.


On 4 May 2014, thousands of people around the world ran together for those who can't.

National Logistics Policy is long-term positive for the industry: ICRA
2022-12-06 16:01:57 Trade Body / Associations News
The National Logistics Policy (NLP), launched by the Government of India in September 2022, aims to promote the seamless movement of goods, overcome transport-related challenges, encourage digitisation and significantly reduce logistics time and cost. The policy is aimed at reducing India's logistics cost considerably and bringing its percentage of GDP in line with the developed economies. Reduced logistics costs shall help improve India's competitiveness, both in the domestic and export markets, by improving efficiency across all sectors.
Commenting further, Mr. Suprio Banerjee, Vice-President & Sector Head, ICRA Limited, said, "The Introduction of NLP is a long-term positive for the Indian logistics industry, given its overall focus on attaining better integration of different modes of transport, which in turn shall lead to faster turnaround and higher efficiency. It is also expected to lower the cost of logistics by reducing the over-dependence on the road sector, thereby reducing congestion and ensuring better asset utilisation. Implementation challenges, however, are expected as multiple agencies, stakeholders, and physical entities are involved, which will require proper coordination for the successful implementation of the policy. The implementation will also entail heavy capital investments to be policy-compliant.
The benefits of the policy should also be evaluated against its compliance costs. Nonetheless, the long-term benefits of the policy will outweigh the short-term challenges."
The salient features of the NLP include setting key targets, which include a reduction in the logistics cost in India to be comparable to global benchmarks by 2030 and be among the top 25 countries by 2030 (currently ranked at 44) in the logistics performance index rankings as also creating a data-driven decision support mechanism for an efficient logistics ecosystem. The policy will be implemented through an eight-pronged Comprehensive Logistics Action Plan (CLAP) encompassing the full spectrum of the sector.
The NLP also focuses on the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP), a single-window platform for all transportation services, and a new digital platform, Ease of Logistics Services (E-logs), for a quick resolution of issues raised by the industry, reducing costs, preventing time leakages and ensuring better efficiency.
The policy will also help in generating employment and better skills, along with making medium and small enterprises more competitive. It will lead to the higher formalisation of the industry and reduce fragmentation in the sector.

Q: Interpolate JSON in React Component's attribute? I have a React component whose value I would like to set via JSON in the attribute. However, I'd like concatenate a letter or word, but neither show up. Is there a proper way to concatenate strings inside of a Component's attribute? Here, I'm setting the detail attribute of a TableView cell.
<Cell cellstyle="RightDetail" accessory="DisclosureIndicator"
title="Height"
detail={this.state.height} onPress={this.navHeight.bind(this)}/>

Which produces this: 175 (the value set for height).
I'd like to find a way to do something like:
detail="\{this.state.height} meters"

Is this possible to do in React/ES6?

A: You can use the backtick notation if you're in ES6,
detail={`${this.state.height} meters`}

//After our excellent work on the Broforce trailer, Devolver Digital gave us the chance to work on the video game trailer for another one of their innovative indie games. This time, we created a spunky action video for the game Enter the Gungeon, a dungeon crawler meets first person shooter. With these cartoony designs, we got to show off a striking combo of our traditional and flashed based animation skills.
Our Powerhouse team worked closely with the original Gungeon illustrations and sprites and adapted them into designs suited for 2D animation. Our team referenced the original pixel art backgrounds from the game itself to create the scenery for the trailer, which follows the Gungeon characters through various levels from the game. We combined animation techniques, both Flash-based puppet animation and traditional frame-by-frame animation, to crank the volume up to 11. The next time you want cute & violent all in one awesome package, you know who to call.

If you or somebody you love is suffering with substance abuse from drugs or alcohol, you should look into finding an inpatient drug rehab center. Inpatient drug rehab centers can provide you with extensive treatment and tools used to help beat alcohol and drug addiction so you can continue back on the right path, and live an effective, pleasant and efficient life.
Inpatient rehabs are residential treatment centers where guests live for different lengths depending upon their program. The typical stay is 30 days, however many addiction treatment centers provide longer programs (60 days, 90 days or perhaps longer).
The length of treatment depends upon numerous elements, consisting of the seriousness of the addiction, the presence of any co-occurring psychological health conditions, and whether the individual has actually been through rehab prior.
The majority of inpatient centers use family programs, where members of the patient's family take part in family therapy and activities. This offers the chance to heal trust and recognize inefficient relationships or characteristics that might activate a relapse. Family can help when it comes to motivating and supporting their loved ones and by being actively present with their recovery.
Each inpatient residential facility supplies its own special accommodations. Some are fundamental, with shared spaces, cafeteria-style meals and have leisure activities like swimming, pool, and ping-pong. Others might use private high-end suites with premium meals and a host of amenities, like a swimming pool, medical spa and fitness center.
28- or 30-day programs provide you adequate time to obtain through the detox procedure, learn more about your addiction, and take part in therapy. These programs have the tendency to be more affordable than longer programs considering that they're much shorter, and they are more likely to be covered by insurance coverage.
60-day programs offer you more time to resolve your addiction and develop a sober way of life and assistance network. You might invest a lot of time in the first 30 days in treatment overcoming detox and withdrawal.
90-day programs are advised for more extreme dependencies and are related to greater success rates of recovery.
Luxury and executive programs deal with professionals, corporate executives, business owners or celebrities and have the tendency to cost more due to functions that look like those you 'd discover at a 5-star hotel.
– Severe withdrawal signs, especially those that are made complex by the use of many drugs or if the individual has a history of delirium tremens (a withdrawal condition defined by tremors, stress and anxiety, disorientation and hallucinations).
– Severe overdose and considerable breathing anxiety or coma.
– Acute or persistent medical condition(s) that are most likely made complex to the individual's withdrawal from substances.
– Marked comorbid psychiatric condition positioning the individual in risk of harming themselves or somebody else.
– Acute substance reliance with a considerable history of nonresponse to trials of other less extensive treatment programs.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehab centers with versatile or extendable program lengths are more effective for some, due to the fact that they permit you to operate at your own speed towards recovery. You might complete a 30-day program and realize that you need more time to deal with relapse avoidance or sober-living skills, for instance.
Individuals admitted to inpatient treatment centers get consistent healthcare from a multidisciplinary group of professionals. This is especially crucial if you have substantial and longstanding histories of addiction and abuse. You will typically need more extensive healthcare throughout the detoxing procedure, that includes medical management of other severe medical or psychiatric conditions.
Inpatient and property treatment centers provide a distraction-free environment, so you're able to concentrate on your path to recovery.
This can be the secret to success in treatment for drug abuse, as it enables you to get rid of any temptation to use while you discover how to function without substances.
Considering that inpatient programs provide 24-hour care, these programs are perfect for assisting you with more serious and enduring addiction.
Having ongoing assistance (consisting of treatment and medical assistance) can help you concentrate on your recovery and assist you through the preliminary stage of treatment.
When researching each program, you must think about numerous aspects. Not every program is ideal for everyone, however if you look thoroughly at exactly what each program has to offer, you must have the ability to discover an inpatient alcohol and drug rehab center that satisfies your needs.
1. What types of dependencies does the facility deal with? If your main issue is alcohol, you may wish to use an alcohol rehab center instead of one that handles all kinds of drugs and dependencies. Different drugs need different kinds of aid. For instance, a prescription drug addiction might need detoxing and other treatments that other particular drug dependencies do not need.
2. Is the program tailored to any particular group of people? Some inpatient drug rehab centers are made particularly for high end executives, for females or for LGBT people. Other programs have more assorted patient populations. If you have unique needs since you relate to specific communities, you may wish to pick a residential treatment center that accommodates that specific group.
3. Exactly how are accommodations alike? While accommodations might not be as crucial as the treatment plan itself, you will most likely still wish to feel comfortable in your new environment. Considering that you'll most likely be living at the facility for a minimum of 30 days, your environment needs to feel enjoyable and favorable.
High-end inpatient centers, for instance, can in some cases appear more like resorts than healthcare facilities. They provide a wide variety of additional services and features that can consist of acupuncture, horse treatment, golf range and health spa treatments. Depending on your needs and income, you may wish to consider these centers to make your stay more comfortable.
4. What kinds of treatment are offered? A lot of inpatient drug rehab centers use both group and individual treatment and therapy. Various kinds of healing interventions might be offered, depending on the kind of center you go to. For instance, do you wish to go to a program, that needs family members to go to treatment sessions? Is the inpatient facility center at a healthcare facility where you can get 24/7 access to expert medical services?
Think about if you will need a facility that is geared up to take care of other existing side-by-side medical or psychological health conditions you might have like a dual diagnosis treatment center.
5. Do you have to keep an active existence at your workplace throughout property rehab? If so, think about checking out an executive rehab center, where you will have the ability to get quality inpatient care while still engaging with your everyday work obligations.
6. Do the program expenses work for your budget plan and insurance coverage? Inpatient programs have the tendency to range between $2,000-$25,000, depending on the area, features offered, type and length of the program. It is crucial to learn if and what it costs? Also, what your insurance coverage will cover for you.
If the cost is still out of your budget, talk with somebody who can look for alternatives with you. In addition to more affordable outpatient programs, that might be alternative inpatient programs offered to you with the aid of moving scale payment alternatives or funding plans.
Prior to making a decision, make the most out of looking for a few different inpatient drug rehab centers prior to making a decision so you can assess all these elements and identify which center will fulfill your needs best.
Rehab centers can be expensive. It's crucial to talk with the facility employees at the center prior to accepting and getting in an inpatient residential drug or alcohol rehab program so you understand precisely what you are going to need to pay for.
Inpatient residential drug rehab programs typically need you to pay for food, room and board and other expenses as well as other items needed in treatment and other services that you get through the program.
A few of your expenses might be covered by insurance coverage. Consult your insurer to learn whether you can be repaid for the expense of rehab.
– Finance your recovery. There are several methods to pay for rehab if you do not have insurance coverage varying from grants for rehab treatments to requesting Medicare or Medicaid. You can fund your recovery using charge cards, loans or savings.
– Contact SAMHSA. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is an outstanding source for finding out about payment and financial choices for paying for recovery and treatment along with supplying information on rehab options without any insurance coverage.
Yes, I Do Have Insurance.
Call Drug treatment finders to validate exactly what your insurance coverage will cover and discuss your treatment alternatives.
Individuals who stay in treatment for longer periods of time have more beneficial results.
Research studies have taken a look at the efficiency of substance abuse treatment programs and it has resulted in a positive outcome. Specifically, individuals who stay in drug or alcohol treatment for longer periods of time have more beneficial results, with the optimum advantages being attained from programs lasting 3 months or more.
When thinking about an inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab center, it is necessary to think about the program's success. Many programs will report stats on the success rate of their treatment. This information originates from an unbiased outside source.
Inpatient drug rehab centers by law need to have confidentiality policies in place. Your treatment is thought about as a medical treatment. No one but you, your medical professionals and others directly associated with your treatment plan deserves to know about it.
The Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a rigorous privacy law that was developed by Congress in 1996. It serves to safeguard the security and privacy of your medical information and brings with it heavy civil and criminal charges for privacy offenses. This consists of jail time and fines varying from $100 to $250,000, depending upon the infraction dedicated.

Photo Slideshow of William Huang's life
William Huang was born on November 20, 1944 in Henyang, Hunan, China. He showed his love of music at an early age, learning to sing and whistle before his third birthday. Because his father was a Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) 2 star General, his family fled to Chunli, Taiwan to escape war when William was 8. His love of music first attracted him to the local Baptist church, where he was baptized in 1956.
In 1963, William Huang began his studies in the Chemical Engineering Department at Chung Yuan Christian University in Chunli, Taiwan. As a class clown and frequent troublemaker, he often found himself facing disciplinary action at his university. Because of this, he found himself forced to attend a Christian student retreat in early 1967, where he received his born again experience. He had been called by God to serve in ministry throughout his life, and began to find ways to serve. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering in 1967. After a year of service in the Republic of China Air Force as a second lieutenant, he worked as a Production Manager at General Instruments in Taiwan. During this time, he also served as a deacon and choir director at St. James Methodist Church in Taipei.
William Huang immigrated to the United States in 1970, and graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1972 with a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. He then worked as an Air Pollution Engineer for Rossnagel & Associates for two years. During his four years in Atlanta, he also served as the music conductor in the Atlanta Chinese Christian Fellowship.
After working a year as a Process Engineer at Midrex Corporation, William decided that it was time to pursue full-time ministry, and moved to Los Angeles to serve at the House of Disciples.
Financial considerations forced William to return to work, which brought him to Houston, Texas in 1976. He served in the University of Houston Chinese Christian Student Fellowship as a counselor, and as a Sunday School Teacher at Houston Chinese Church. At the University of Houston, he met Lena in a bible study in 1976. They were married in 1978, and Lena gave birth to their oldest daughter, Jade. In 1983, they had their second child, Shane. In 1988, he received his M.A. in Communication (TV Production) at Wheaton College in Illinois.
From 1988 to 1993, William served as a Youth Counselor in Grace Memorial Baptist Church in Houston. In 1990, William and Lena had their third child, Charlotte. In 1993, William began studying at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1994, William Huang was ordained by the Baptist Pastors Committee, and began serving as Pastor of New Life Baptist Church in Houston. His fourth child, Christian, was born in 1996. He received his 3rd Masters Degree - Master of Divinity from Southwestern in 1998. Also in 1998, William started Melody of Life Ministries, a ministry to reflect his passion for both missions and music. With Melody of Life, he frequently served overseas in missions to provide relief to the poor or weak, especially after disaster. He had served in Taiwan after the earthquake of 1999, and also ministered to the impoverished people of Southeast Asia. In 2000, he started the Doctor of Ministry program at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Throughout the years of ministry, he also had to help support the family. His extremely long list of professions included Real Estate Broker, restaurant owner, furniture business, granite/marble contractor, and car detailing business just to name a few. He was also very extremely involved in the Asian community and served as an MC, comedian, talk show host, play actor, etc. at many events in the states as well as overseas. He took all these opportunities to reach out to those that would not have ever set foot in church. To reach out beyond church doors was not only his passion, but his vision.
William and his family returned to the United States in 2005, as both he and Lena continued looking for work. He purchased the Lucky Seafood Market in December 2005 in an attempt to financially support the family and his ministry. There he found himself extremely happy, singing to every customer that walked in and shared the gospel to anyone that cared to listen. He came home every night with stories of the different people he met and sang to.
He had intended to raise funds to serve in Henan Province, China, where his heart was touched by the suffering caused by the high rate of HIV infection and AIDS related deaths among people too poor for treatment.

My wife and I are changing jobs.
My wife, who is having some rough morning sickness and even spent a couple of days in the hospital with severe dehydration and the flu, has had to resign from her third shift CNA job. She was told that the nursing home she was working at would hire her back after the baby arrives. Her resignation is a relief to me in that I was concerned that the lifting of patients that she was doing would result in some complications in the pregnancy. So Sandra is back to semi-normal hours at home raising the family. She is looking into obtaining a nursing degree. After the baby arrives this spring, she will be returning to school next fall.
A few hours later on the very same day Sandra resigned, I was offered a hardware support position with Growmark in Bloomington. I accepted and will start September 24th. Now I have to get my 1990 Ford Ranger's clutch fixed, a new muffler installed, and a couple of side mirrors to replace the junk factory ones.
Today I am sick though and "enjoying" all life has to throw at me.


This is the best Sound.
It's currently 137 bpm. 128 would be a bit slow in my opinion.
@overdoze I appreciate the feedback. The reason for the faster bpm was simply for he more energetic electrohouse kinda mood. Otherwise, those are all valid points.
