Yiddish was the common language of Jews who immigrated to the United States from Eastern Europe. It is a German-based language thought to have developed in the 9th century. While all aspects of Yiddish culture, including literature, theater, film, recording, and journalism, existed in robust and diverse forms wherever Ashkenazi Jews lived, it was in America that these outlets of Yiddish self-expression found their greatest and most creative realization on the radio. As musicologist Henry Sapoznik explains, "from 1925 until 1955 on some 180 stations from coast to coast, radio programs reached into the homes and workplaces of Yiddish-speaking listeners. These programs reflected and amplified the diverse social and cultural infrastructure which characterized this immigrant community during the first half of the 20th century" (from the essay for the presentation "Hear, O Israel: Yiddish-American Broadcasting 1925-1965," 2009). While we often think of urban centers in the Eastern United States as centers for Ashkenazi culture, Yiddish radio stations existed across the country showing that there were thriving Jewish communities in the South, the West, and Midwest. This blog brings together videos of Library of Congress events related to Yiddish radio as well as print materials and links to resources on other sites.
Zvee Scooler was one of the foremost personalities in Yiddish radio. Known as "Der Grammeister" ("The Master of Rhyme"), he presented weekly news editorials written in verse. He also did straight news and acted in radio dramas. Photo courtesy of Henry Sapoznik.
Waves of Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe from the 19th century to the wave that came after World War II created a need for Yiddish language newspapers, theater, music, and radio for these first generation Americans. But European Jews tended to learn English and adapt to their new homeland very quickly. Children often grew up speaking both Yiddish and English. It was the drive to preserve and enjoy Yiddish language and culture that created an enduring audience for Yiddish radio.
In the 1930s and 1940s there were many local radio stations that carried programs to reach immigrant audiences in many languages. Live radio programs were often recorded on aluminum discs in the early 20th century and then on tape as that medium became available. But few of these disc "transcription" recordings remain. During World War II drives for scrap aluminum needed for the war effort swept up disc recordings so that today a precious few recordings of Yiddish and other ethnic and minority radio programs remain. Fortunately Henry Sapoznik has donated his collection to the Library of Congress, including 1401 Yiddish radio broadcasts on transcription discs as well as programs on audio tape; plus sheet music, manuscripts and photographs documenting Yiddish culture, theater, and music, primarily in the New York City area, but also including documentation from other parts of the United States, from the 1920s to circa 1960. As Sapoznik puts it, "The Yiddish radio collection is indicative of a largely forgotten widespread presence of ethnic and minority and foreign language radio programs." It is hoped that his discovery of some remaining recordings of Yiddish radio may lead to other collectors realizing the importance of ethnic radio recordings among their finds.

In its day, the heart of Yiddish-language radio, the content that kept listeners dialing in regularly, was religious programming. But today Yiddish radio is best remembered for its entertainment. Many aspects of Jewish culture in America were tied to the success of Yiddish radio, such as Yiddish theater and music, as the radio stations provided a place for Yiddish culture to thrive and grow, and because the radio stations advertised and sometimes broadcast performances. In large cities, Yiddish theaters were often close to Yiddish radio stations. Artists were often featured in productions of plays and other entertainment on both radio and the stage. Theater in Yiddish was broadcast not only from the stations' studios, but also live from the stage of the community theaters themselves.
Some performers, writers, and composers found ways of interpreting Yiddish humor and song for English speaking audiences and so were able to market themselves in multiple venues. The thriving tradition of Yiddish music, film, and theater were to have a profound influence on mainstream American entertainment, as composers, comics, playwrights, and actors interpreted aspects of Yiddish culture for English-speaking audiences. Singer, actress, and comedienne Molly Picon, for example, performed on Yiddish radio and in Yiddish theater and film, as well as in English language productions. Zvee Scooler (pictured above) was a longtime commentator and actor on Yiddish radio, and played the inkeeper in the Broadway show Fiddler on the Roof. Both Scooler and Picon gained even greater fame in the Hollywood film version of Fiddler on the Roof, in which Scooler played the rabbi and Picon played Yente, the matchmaker.

Henry Sapoznik speaking at the Library of Congress at the The Stations that Spoke your Language Symposium, 2012. Detail of a photo by Stephen Winick. Library of Congress American Folklife Center.
Henry Sapoznik is a record producer with four Grammy nominations, a radio documentarian, an author, and a performer of traditional Yiddish and American music. He received a 2002 Peabody award for his ten-week National Public Radio series on the history of Jewish broadcasting, The Yiddish Radio Project, the 2000 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for Music Scholarship for his book Klezmer! Jewish Music from Old World to Our World, and an Emmy nomination for his score to the documentary film, The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg. He founded the Max and Frieda Weinstein Archives of Recorded Sound at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, as well as Living Traditions' annual KlezKamp: The Yiddish Folk Arts Program. His collection of Yiddish radio transcription discs, tape recordings and related materials are available as the Henry Sapoznik collection, in the American Folklife Center Reading Room. At the time of the acquisition of the collection, Sapoznik wrote an article about the history and importance of Yiddish Radio for Folklife Center News, Summer/Fall 2010 [PDF], which is available online. For more, see Henry Sapoznik's web pages on Yiddish Radio.
Here is Sapoznik speaking at the Library of Congress about Yiddish language radio in 2009.
The acquisition of the Henry Sapoznik collection provided an opportunity to bring attention to Yiddish radio and its relationship to Yiddish newspapers, music, and theater, as well as the Eastern European Jewish materials in the Library of Congress more broadly. This idea lead to the symposium called The Stations that Spoke your Language, a title based on the slogan of New York radio station WEVD, "The station that speaks your language," for its multi-lingual programming. The symposium brought together Yiddish language and culture experts with Library of Congress subject specialists to talk about a wide range of topics related to Yiddish-American history, culture, and identity. Towards the end of the first video, Sapoznik presents a history of Yiddish radio with some examples from recordings from his collection..
Below are the three videos of the symposium. Underneath each of the videos are the names of the participants and the titles of their talks in the order that they appear. Also, look for the resources section at the end of this blog to continue exploring Eastern European Jewish cultural materials at the Library of Congress, some of which are mentioned by symposium speakers.

Living Classic Rock from its very beginning — both on stage and on air since 1968 — music has been Joe Benson's life. Whether playing it, talking with artists and fans about it or documenting it with his definitive UNCLE JOE'S RECORD GUIDES, his syndicated OFF THE RECORD rock star interview program and UNCLE JOE'S GARAGE podcasts, Benson's always been rocking! Hailed as "An AOR Legend" in Don Barrett's definitive book, "Los Angeles Radio People," Benson is more than a popular entertainer. He's been a family member to millions of listeners over the past 37 years — their own 'Uncle Joe.' In addition, his passion and unique involvement in motorsports — as a participant, announcer, and reporter — has garnered national print and TV attention while keeping him in constant touch with his audience.

A: You can use JSONObject its default supplied with android SDK:
String json = "some JSON";
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(json);

Than you can use methods like
getBoolean(String key)
getDouble(String key)

etc
Or you can use google gson library which is in my opinion better, but you will need to include it as dependency in gradle.
There is github for the Gson.
There is Gson API

A: Use Gson library . Best way to parse the responses.Your can user GsonFormat plugin to generate the model for response.

A: Have a look on gson. It's a easy serializer for json.

A: It's my pleasure to answer your question.
You can do like this.
try {
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
        JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("getdetailsasanas");
        for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            String asanaid = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("asanaid");
            String asananame = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("asananame");
            String duration = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("duration");
            String imageurl = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("imageurl");
            String imageversion = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("imageversion");
            String videourl = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("videourl");
            String videoversion = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("videoversion");
            JSONArray StepsForAsanaArray = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getJSONArray("StepsForAsana");
            for (int j = 0; j < StepsForAsanaArray.length(); j++) {
                String stepnumber = jsonArray.getJSONObject(j).getString("stepnumber");
                String stepdesc = jsonArray.getJSONObject(j).getString("stepdesc");
                String stepimg = jsonArray.getJSONObject(j).getString("stepimg");
                String stepimgeversion = jsonArray.getJSONObject(j).getString("stepimgeversion");
                String imgethumbversion = jsonArray.getJSONObject(j).getString("imgethumbversion");
                String imgethumburl = jsonArray.getJSONObject(j).getString("imgethumburl");
            }
        }

    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

A: Use like with this code:
JSONArray getdetailsasanas = new JSONArray(stringData);
for (int p = 0; p < getdetailsasanas.length(); p++) {
    try {
        JSONObject data = getdetailsasanas.getJSONObject(p);
        JSONObject asanaid    = data.getJSONObject("asanaid");
        JSONObject stepnumber = data.getJSONObject("stepnumber");
        JSONObject stepnumber = data.getJSONObject("stepnumber");

        //get data from objetcs
        String asananame = asanaid.getString("asananame");
        int duration = asanaid.getInt("duration");
        String imageurl = asanaid.getString("imageurl");

    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Q: MPMoviePlayer only playing sound Trying to put my video in a custom view within a UITableViewCell.
videoView is a UIView:
The following is when the cell is selected:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    FeedCustomCell *cell = [[FeedCustomCell alloc] init];

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:_videoPathString];

    moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
    moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;

    CGRect previewFrame = CGRectMake(cell.videoView.frame.origin.x,
                                     cell.videoView.frame.origin.y,
                                     cell.videoView.frame.size.width,
                                     cell.videoView.frame.size.height);

    moviePlayer.view.frame = previewFrame;
    moviePlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatModeOne;

    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
    [self.view bringSubviewToFront:moviePlayer.view];

    [moviePlayer play];
}

This is my cell:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"FeedCustomCell";
    FeedCustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    // Configure the cell...
    cell.username.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", _usernameString];
    cell.createdDate.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", _createdString];

    return cell;
}

I am only adding something to cell.videoView when the cell is selected. Am I doing this wrong?
Video is playing with sound, but no visual.

A: Instead of:
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];

Try this:
[self.view.contentView addSubview:moviePlayer.view];


A question that is again popping up lately is whether customers must go for the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) or a Windows based vCenter system. Yes I have my favorite, but I will often go for the consultant answer: it depends. But on what does this depend? I will try and sum up some of the arguments to take in to account.
But first, what is this VCSA your talking about?
You may or may not know vCenter can be deployed in two ways, the commonly known vCenter installation on a Windows based host(s) or deploying vCenter as a appliance. The appliance is a 64-bit Linux based (SUSE Linux Enterprise for the distro interest) virtual machine with an embedded database (vPostgres) or the option to use an external Oracle database. The appliance has been around since it's introduction with version 5.0, but has not been really production worthy since the 5.5 version. With the 5.5 version the vCSA supports managing 100 hosts and 3000 VM's with the embedded database versus the 5 host and 50 VM's with the previous version. The 5.5 limit for the external Oracle database is even higher (100 hosts and 10000 VM's), but to be honest I haven't seen that combination around.
The appliance is build with the following vCenter services: vCenter services (vCenter, Inventory, SSO, Web Client) and services such as syslog collector, dump collector, AutoDeploy (and capable of doing DHCP/TFTP).
What are the arguments to consider?
For organizations that are having a DBMS install base of MSSQL there is currently no support of using this in combination with the vCSA where the Windows based happily works with MSSQL (via ODBC DSN). If there is no experience, no business investment or no DBA's wanting to manage an additional DB flavor you can stop right here (or wait when a next version of VCSA will hopefully support MSSQL as an external database).
Windows vs Linux install base and license. You got your Windows based organizations and you got your Linux based organizations. More often they are mixed. Got Windows data center licenses sorted out for your organization, another Windows VM is often not an issue. Need to save some licensing or just don't want to invest in new, VCSA will probably be more of your taste. Beware that you can't install Update Manager on VCSA, this still needs to be set up on a Windows host which can be an existing. Same goes for your trusty toolset, PowerCLI needs Windows PowerShell, RVTools need .Net. These tools can be easily put on a management server or admin workstation (where the toolset are supposed to be on the first place), they connect to VCSA just as vCenter on Windows. Need remote CLI? Added by deploying the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) appliance. For Windows only based IT departments a knowledge investment is needed to support Linux based appliances.
vCenter Orchestrator. Windows vCenter installers installs vCenter Orchestrator on your Windows system or you can use the Windows installer to install Orchestrator on another designated Windows server. vCenter Orchestrator is not installed on the VCSA, but there is the vCenter Orchestrator appliance you can deploy next to it.
Linked mode. Want a single management plane, or in other definition a Single Pane of Glass, for multiple vCenter instances linked mode is required. VCSA does not support Linked mode where vCenter on Windows does. There is an other option, leveraging the built-in SSO Replication by joining all (or some you want to share) SSO instances under a common domain. A benefit next to the automatic synchronization, is that you will be able to see the inventory of all SSO instances from whatever Web client.
Experience with appliances. I think appliances add simplicity for deployment of the vCenter systems, but can be a hassle to (re)configure and for example do database back-up dumps when you don't have any experience with Linux. Don't worry, VCSA has an admin Web interface or the vSphere Web client for configuration tasks and when you need the console commands are documented. The procedures are on Documentation Center, Knowledge Base and widely blogged about in the community. Go ahead and learn appliances as there are a lot of good ones.
Monitoring/Back-up. Monitoring of vCenter server services and system parameters. If you use a Windows based or agent type of monitoring, the Windows based monitoring does not work for a Linux appliance. Check if your monitoring solution supports Linux. Same goes with thinking about your back-up strategy and how to back-up the VCSA.
Physical vCenter. When there are reasons to install the management of your virtual infrastructure on a physical server outside the virtual infrastructure, than Windows vCenter is the only option. VCSA is a virtual appliance which needs to be deployed on virtual environment. Depending on the requirements, you could also go with an VCSA deployment in an other vSphere cluster than the one vCenter is managing.
IPv6. IPv6 is not supported on the VCSA and is supported on Windows. If you happen to use IP addresses in the vCenter configuration or connecting to vCenter these are IPv4 only. To connect to vCenter system in an IPv6 environment you must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or host name of the vCenter Server. FQDN is preferred to be used in any case.
vCenter Server Heartbeat. Use this solution to protect your vCenters, you cannot use this with the VCSA. But on the other hand, you should be working on a replacement solution (you have some time) as VMware announced EOA of all vCenter Server Heartbeat versions. See details here: http://www.vmware.com/nl/products/vcenter-server-heartbeat. Leveraging vSphere HA instead for example.
Note: These arguments are not ordered by importance, that's is up to the organization in question.
I have a favorite, but do keep in mind that there is no one size fit's all. I happen to like the appliance way of deployment, simplicity at your fingertips and no abuse from Windows admins logging on and hogging the vCenter resources (sizing) with OS / RDS footprint. Or worst destroying to system with all those I needs this and this tool for my work.
Yes you need Windows for Update Manager, which can be combined with other update management tools. And yes you need your Windows based tool set somewhere, are those supposed to be on the vCenter server in the first place?
When a design decision is made to use the Windows based vCenter, please use it as an infrastructure server. Don't abuse it as an administrator playground (aka RDS server, aka steppingstone, aka PowerCLI test heaven). I like to remove the GUI aka use core when Windows is the design choice (PowerCLI Get-WindowsFeature *gui* | Uninstall-WindowsFeature –Restart). From Windows version 2012 switching from GUI to core does not require a reboot.
What do you think? I'm interested in your views. Let me know in the comments.
I like the VCSA more than the Windows install. My infrastructures usually have an windows AD server, VCSA with embedded DB, Windows VUM server and another management server with all my tools.

ObjectiveMetrics
================

ObjectiveMetrics is a Objective-C implementation of the desktop application
analytics service [DeskMetrics][dm]. You link against ObjectiveMetrics and
specify what events you want to track via an intuitive API, and we take care of
having them delivered to DeskMetrics, so that they'll show up on your dashboard.

Requirements
------------

* iOS v4.3 or above. This means it will run on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches.
* Mac OS X 10.6 or above.
* Xcode 4.4 or above.

There's no known reason it wouldn't work on earlier iOS versions, but it has not
been tested.

Getting started using CocoaPods on either OS X or iOS
-----------------------------------------------------

The preferred way of using ObjectiveMetrics is now [CocoaPods][cocoapods]. To
start using ObjectiveMetrics, all you need is to add the following to your
Podfile:

    pod 'ObjectiveMetrics'

This works for both iOS and OS X. Now, you just need to take the following steps
to use it:

1. Add `#import <ObjectiveMetrics/ObjectiveMetics.h>` to your files that will be
   using ObjectiveMetrics.
2. Find your **application id** on the DeskMetrics application settings page.
3. Make sure you send the `DMTracker` a `startWithApplicationId:` message with
   your application id as soon as your app is starting up, to initialize your
   session, e.g. in `applicationDidFinishLaunching:`.
4. Make sure you send the `DMTracker` a `stop` message when your application is
   shutting down, e.g. in `applicationWillTerminate:`.
5. Add tracking to any file you want. See below for syntax.

If you'd like to set up ObjectiveMetrics WITHOUT using CocoaPods, you can
attempt to follow the instructions in our [non-cocoapods readme][noncocoapods].

Be warned, instructions for setting it up without cocoapods are not as
frequently updated or as well tested as the ones you see in this file.

Tracking events
---------------

To track any event, you need the following at the start of the file:

    #import <ObjectiveMetrics/ObjectiveMetrics.h>

Or, under iOS (iPhone):

    #import "DMTracker.h"

Then, anywhere you want to track an event, retrieve the DMTracker singleton
instance using:

    [DMTracker defaultTracker]

On this instance, you can call any number of tracking events. It is very
important that you call the `startWithApplicationId:` method soon after your app
starts. This is because it initializes the session and prepares the DMTracker
for more tracking events:

    [[DMTracker defaultInstance] startWithApplicationId:@"MY APP ID HERE"];

You should then call `stop` when your application is shutting down, to track an
"app exiting" event and attempt to send the events to the server. If they can't
be sent, they'll be sent the next time the application starts.

Here are the different methods you can call: (See [DMTracker.h][header] for
a list that's guaranteed updated)

    DMTracker *tracker = [DMTracker defaultInstance];

    [tracker trackEvent:@"Event"];

    [tracker trackEvent:@"Event with properties"
         withProperties:@{@"Name": @"Joe Smith"}];

    [tracker trackLog:@"Time is now %@", [NSDate date]];

Are we dawning on a new era of internet marketing? Is everything we have come to learn about how to make money online about to become obsolete?
Think about the typical internet marketing "style" we have all been taught over the years. Squeeze pages, long form sales letters, testimonials, pre-sells, "free" and "instant access" buttons. These things have made a lot of people a lot of money, but are they going to last forever?
I'm certainly not saying these things are bad or no longer useful, but as far as landing pages, customer acquisition, and the typical internet marketing business model… Are you noticing the crackdown like I am on the way we do things?
I have been thinking a lot about where I want to take my internet marketing business in 2011 and over the christmas break I have been going through a bit of a mindset change mostly due to the mentoring and advice I have been receiving from James Schramko and Ed Dale.
It seems that the era of quick tricks, loopholes and workarounds may be coming to an end. If you have been involved in internet marketing for more than 2 years you will have noticed some big changes.
You will have noticed that the Big G… Google, is not favoring the way we do things. They are slapping our ad campaigns and de-indexing our sites because they see our typical internet marketing tactics as deceiving, and of little value to the rest of the world.
You will have witnessed the FTC crackdown on testimonials and how we now need abundant disclaimers in our ad copy and affiliate recommendations.
If big corporations are cracking down on the way we do things, Is it time to wake up and change our approach?
when I look at successful people making not just 6 figures a year, but 7 figures, I notice they have a more real world corporate oriented approach.
Take a look at James Schramko and Mike Filsaime. Interestingly they both have a similar backgrounds as General Managers in executive car dealerships. Mercedes Benz and BMW. They have been required to manage large teams of people, run a real offline business, and turn a profit at the end of the day.
They have an incredible set of real world business and management skills that they have applied to online marketing, and have absolutely crushed it quadrupling their previous income in no time.
It seems to me that the smart money is moving away from what we know as "internet marketing" and developing sites that look more like the rest of the world. Real businesses.
I mean, if almighty Google doesn't like what we're doing… doesn't that say something?


First in a series. As a food and music writer this is my way of combining both interests: after checking out concerts I'm going to review, I'll take bands to choice places serving interesting fare past normal hours. Video footage will complement both angles.
I first encountered Enemy Planes during the 2012 CMJ Music Marathon in NYC. This 5 piece from Minneapolis, who ably drift from expansive atmospherics to percussive, synth backed rushes marked by as much reverb as some of their vocals, were by far the best band I saw then. On this night, they turned the catacomb-like Underground Arts into an intimate echo chamber while ably opening for The Meat Puppets on the strength of their debut album, Beta Lowdown, which they put out in the spring of 2013.

Innervating the room, they launch their set with a livewire urgency via "Bare Your Teeth", a track carried along by a drum pulse dotted with slick stutters, the momentum of the jazz rhythm never faltering as drummer Joe Call added deft inflections, his kit work on this track reminiscent of the opening moments of Radiohead's "15 Step"—a fair comparison since Enemy Plane's raucous outbursts are frequently led by percussion reminiscent of the haus-laden In Rainbows.
The vocals quickly deliver a sly wink.
"Tell me what you want from me, just look me in the eyes…our energies collide," says front man Casey Call, his voice smoothly wavering from behind the piano, his ethereal takeoff extending the word eyes on a chorus alternatively supported by an echo effect, and then, a quick, delicate melody by guitarist Joe Gamble. This expert insertion of disparate elements—echo and electronic effects easily at home in ambient electronica, or, turned up further in post-industrial music—is right at home with the jazz ethos of fluency between an array of disparate parts that never gets derailed.

I'm a coach, so my clients (executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, and other high performers) show up in my practice for all sorts of reasons. If I had to categorize them, I'd say most clients were looking for ways to "stay calm in chaos". That's what Sam was looking for when he picked up to phone to call me one Tuesday morning.
Sam (let's call him Sam), a personable and intelligent man in his mid-30's came to me when he was seeking work. He had left a prestigious position defined by constant conflict - a culture of anger and stress.
Happily married and the father of two little boys, he wanted to put his education and experience to work in a startup with high potential for success.
Sam began practicing getting centered daily. With a few minutes of breathing practice - yes simple breathing exercises - in no stress and low-stress situations, he could create some space around his "reaction".
In that space, he chose how to hold his body - upright and relaxed. From that posture, he was able to end his sentences with assurance, speak clearly and succinctly in his natural voice and stay calm, neutral and open to the interviewer.
For fun (and good practice) we role played interviews after centering practice to work on appropriate responses rather than his typical reactions. As he learned to respond, taking time to speak clearly, listen deeply and breathe, he smiled more, uncrossed his arms and leaned forward - always more inviting that his "collapsed" body language of early days.
Learning to recognize how you react, gaining the tools that support some centering - simply starting with your breath, allows you to be much more effective (and pleasant to be around) when that inevitable stress shows up.
You can begin the process by noticing your breath. Then without forcing a change in the inhale, begin extending the exhale - audibly, if you're alone. Extending your exhale does a lot in relaxing the muscles of your face and upper body. It goes further by opening up the diaphragm. Fortunately, it also allows you to have a little more room in which to respond, rather than react.
That's why practicing in no-stress or low-stress situations is critical. If you practice for 28 days, you'll create a new habit - a healthy one - that will pay off time and time again.
