This two-pages factsheet shows how tobacco growing and tobacco use impact children's education. Tobacco cultivation is very hazardous for children and consumes a lot of working time. Tobacco use of parents can decrease education opportunities for their children. This factsheet also shows that tobacco is a perfect example for education on sustainable development.
Both ends of the tobacco value chain point to an intergenerational conflict and a vicious cycle of poverty that needs to be broken.


Oluwatosin 'Tosyn' Bucknor, an on-air-personality with Inspiration FM, has died aged 37, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Tosyn, as she was popularly known, was found dead by husband, Aurelien Boyer, a French national, when he arrived at home from work on Monday night.
"A graduate of Law from the University of Lagos, Tosyn was born with sickle cell anaemia which prompted her to start These Genes Project to help people with the condition," NAN says.
In November 2015, Tosyn and Aurélien Boyer had their traditional wedding, surrounded by family and friends in Lagos, followed by a white wedding in France.
Tosyn previously hosted the morning show at Top Radio FM.
She started her on-air-personality duties with Tee-A at Eko FM. She was also an intern at Cool FM where she hosted the Fun Hour Show on Saturdays.
In her lifetime, Tosyn Bucknor was nominated for several awards, including Future Awards, ELOY Awards, and Best of Nollywood.
@Busayo_cole tweeted, ""Aaaaaaaaaarea, guguru morning.This was one woman who made me fall in love with morning talkshows. Ace Journalist and an ardent Manchester United fan.
Until her death, the OAP who also doubled as a Vlogger, was an employee of Inspiration FM where she hosted her own morning talk show.
Tosyn's father, late Segun Bucknor, who was a popular musician and journalist, died in 2017.


The first secret to making a winning herbal vinegar is to use more or less equal quantities of fresh herbs and vinegar. This ensures that the herb flavours can stand up to the sharp taste of the vinegar.
Another secret is to let the herbs wilt slightly. This heightens their flavour, again helping them stand up to the sharp taste of the vinegar.
The best vinegar to use is pure white grape vinegar. Some people also use apple cider or rice vinegar. When starting out, first make small batches with your favourite vinegars to find the one you like most.
Tip: It is a good practice to notice the proportions of the different herbs that you use and to measure out the spices. This will allow you to recreate your signature herb infused vinegars.
Sterilize a wide mouth jar or bottle. An old 500ml mayonnaise bottle works well.
Rinse the herbs if needed and allow to dry.
Let the herbs wilt slightly to get rid of any unnecessary moisture.
Pack the bottle lightly with the herbs.
Crush and add the spices if using.
Seal the bottle, label it and shake well.
Keep in a cool, dark place and taste after 4 days to see if the vinegar has been infused to your taste. If not, let stand for up to ten days. Shake the bottle regularly in the ageing period.
Strain through a muslin cloth or through a coffee filter.
Transfer the strained vinegar into another sterilized bottle. Seal. Label and decorate. Your vinegar is ready to use.
Caution: The vinegar can ferment if it is kept too warm. A low storage temperature is also important for maintaining the flavour. Discard any vinegar that develops a questionable colour or flavour. Use your infused vinegars within three months.
I never could taste the herbs in my infused vinegars, now I know why.

I'm sneaking in one last review this month before its May already! Tonight I'm reviewing book 7 in War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
I am excited to review another book in War and Peace because, honestly, I have been in a bit of slump lately with this classic. It's just so huge! And I have past the 400 page mark. And I am not half way done yet. Its a bit discouraging. But I powered through this book!
This book takes place mainly in the Rostov's home. Nicholas is home on leave to help his parents who are in serious financial trouble. Natasha is enduring her one year secret engagement to Prince Andrew who is away. Sonya is as kind and gentle as ever. We read about a spirited hunt, a complicated Christmas, a kiss between Nicholas and Sonya, and the continually deteriorating affairs of the Rostov parents.
I found the middle of this book to read rather slow. There were a lot of little scenes and little conversations that didn't seem important or connected to the overall story arch. It took us several chapters to read about the hunting party. Perhaps I was anxious, like Natasha, for Prince Andrew's return and for their marriage to take place. And I felt pretty annoyed by Count Rostov's inability to stop living outside his means.
Nicholas was actually one of my favorite characters in this book. He finally seems to be growing up a bit and seems more mature than his parents during their discussions of finances and in his choice to marry for love (I really love that). I appreciate the way he brings his family together and is becoming the leader of the family as well.
Why does it seem that the Rostov finances cannot be saved except if Nicholas marries a wealthy heiress? Seems a bit unfair!
How does one define love and how does one fall in love? Sonya and Nicholas are very different than Andrew and Natasha yet they both are in love.
I think I'm still in a bit of a slump with this book. But I am almost to the half way point which is huge!
All will be revealed… But yes, the pressure on Nicholas was huge. And how about princess Mary, how can she possibly judge if men want to marry her for her fortune or her personality? Or Pierre for that matter, no girl dignified him with a second glance, but when he inherits the largest fortune in Russia, the most beautiful Hélène is interested. And that is precisely what Tolstoy wanted you to do; have a good think about these things. It really is the best book ever by miles and miles.. Enjoy!
Ahh keep reading, you can do it! War and Peace is a monster of a book!

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...)
Mmmm…Las Vegas, where nothing is what it seems. A tour closer in Las Vegas, Sin City, the desert oasis…this was definitely not to be missed. When we flew in from Austin, TX, on Thursday night we immediately headed to the infamous strip. The Aladdin is in the middle, bisecting the strip between the MGM Grand and Caesar's, right across from the Monte Carlo. The Aladdin was one of the last privately owned and operated casinos, and was smaller and friendlier than many of the new mega-casinos. We easily found it because of the big sign that said "PHISH Friday 8pm — Sold Out." We were definitely in the right place…there were fans in the casino, gambling away.
One blackjack dealer told us that TicketMaster had oversold the show, and that the casino was going to close its doors early the next day and be extra tight on security. She said we should get there really early. This was a funny idea, a casino closing its doors? Hahaha. But it did scare us into getting there at a decent hour.
On Friday the casino was overflowing with Phish fans, who were snagging the slot machine cups to beg for spare change and give their ubiquitous puppies water. Security was being cool, only asking the obvious riff-raff and schwillers to go elsewhere. This was in the days before "wookies" became the dominant type of tourscum. The show had a special feel to it: everyone had traveled to get there (not many fans live in Vegas) and it was one of only two shows on the tour to sell out in advance (Halloween being the other). When it got close to show time the Aladdin high command decided that they were not going to let people enter the theater through the casino: everyone had to go out and around. The reasoning was they didn't want their regular patrons disturbed. The World Rodeo Championship was also in town that week, making Phish fans the second most dominant group, behind rodeo-loving country-music fans (guys drinking bad beer and straddling bulls — never really got that).
The Aladdin was the only theater booked for the whole tour. The main things that set it apart (besides the size: it only held seventy-five hundred) were the size of the stage and the placement of the lights. The stage was small and the band members were much closer to each other than they had been in awhile. Page and Fishman were actually in the same time zone, imagine that! The ceiling behind the stage wasn't too high, and they didn't construct huge light risers, so the lights actually shined on the band and out into the audience. This was one of the only shows in the recent past that was really loud. After taking our seats in the eighth row (which was quite close, compared to eighth row in an arena) we eagerly waited for the show to begin. We knew they had something planned (from a "rare" Fishman leak) and knew that since it was Vegas, and that everyone came here, it wouldn't be a standard tour-closing show. They opened up with "Wilson" and from the beginning it was clear that there was a sense of urgency. This was diametrically opposed to NYE 1996's "Wilson Lite".
The band was clearly on and the rocking began, complete with heavy-metal licks and serious feedback. "Wilson" led directly into a well-played "Peaches En Regalia", which had been exhumed in L.A. just five days before. "Peaches" is a welcome treat and was a great tune for the "2" spot. (Note: it wasn't an old-time "Wilson" -> "Peaches" with Trey singing the "blat boom" part of "Wilson" as the intro to "Peaches"). "Poor Heart" followed and actually rocked out. No kidding, really…Trey extended his solo for four extra measures and wailed.
Everyone's friend, egomaniac Trey, was in the house. After "Poor Heart" the space began and "2001" emerged from the murkiness. This was the tour where "2001" came into its own and became a song, not merely a lead-in. This version, clocking in at nearly ten minutes, didn't disappoint as Trey and Page each took multiple groovin' solos. For an added bonus Trey threw in the James Brown lick that he had introduced the previous week in Sacramento.
This was clearly the beginning stages of the funk as we know it these days. The low point of the show followed: a mediocre "Llama", which Trey started by chording out of the post-"2001" space. This was the only tune the whole night that wasn't superb, which is surprising since "Llama"s are usually excellent.
A strong first-set "YEM" came next. It was nothing earth-shattering, but an 8:30 PM "YEM" is always welcomed. It was complete with a "Donuts, I love donuts" vocal jam which melted into a standard but always fun "Cars Trucks and Buses".
Continuing the best set of Fall Tour 1996 was a standout version of "Down with Disease" that seemed to merge the grooviness of the Halloween and Seattle versions with its old-school 1994 roots. The outcome was an energetic and jammed-out "DWD", easily one of my favorites from 1996. The set ended powerfully with a tight "Frankenstein". This first set reminded me of a first set at Halloween, which is so good you expect them to say, "thanks a lot, good night," at the end. It was an all-encompassing set that could have been a second set as well. A "Wilson" > "Peaches" opener, "Frank" closer, and some hearty meat in the middle. After a rather lengthy set break (almost an hour) it was time for more action.
Set II opened in fitting fashion with a rockin' "Julius" (after all, we were in Vegas) followed by the show's only throwaway song, "Sparkle", which was its usual waste of time. As the "Sparkle" sped up we wondered what was next. They had played "Bowie" and "Mike's" the show before, "YEM" in the first set…maybe "Bathtub Gin"? Then out of left field "Mike's Song" was dropped on our heads. This was the most surprised I had ever been at a Phish show. "Mike's" was the toughest monster jam to get and here it was, twice in a row. Wow! They definitely weren't fucking around tonight. The "Mike's" was twelve minutes long, tight, and evil. It featured the gold lights that were added for the holiday tour and tested in Vegas. The "Mike's" disappointingly segued right into "Simple". There was this guy who draped a huge "Simple" (the shoes company) sign over the balcony. What a schmuck, make a good sign dammit. Luckily my friend Speed Racer prevented me from going up there and strangling him. Nevertheless, the crowed roared with approval from the first notes of "Simple". This "Simple" was actually pretty good, mellowing out to some nice work by Trey and then building gradually. After eighteen minutes Trey nodded to Fishman, who started up "Harry". This "Harry" is one of my all-time faves and includes some of my favorite intro jamming. The end jam was nice and drawn out, and came to a real peak, which many don't accomplish these days. "Weekapaug" exploded out of the conclusion to "Harry" and the energy never let up. I am a major fan of "Weekapaug" bursting out of high-energy songs, instead of starting from scratch, like at the following show, 12/28/96 (three "Mike's Grooves" in a row — must be a post-1988 record), where it began after the "Strange Design", which had sucked all the energy out of the whole city. The 1997 New Year's show is a prime example: instead of starting the "'Paug" after "Circus", they threw in the Ween tune, "Roses are Free", which served as a platform for the "Weekapaug". Well, back to Vegas. The "Weekapaug" was masterful and started out with some high-energy jamming, which then out of nowhere came to a dead stop. Fish then started up the "Weekapaug" again and the place exploded.
After doing this a second time, they moved into a pretty section that featured Trey using his watery Leslie effect, and came to another dead stop before punching into the "Weekapaug" finale. This was reminiscent of the hilarious 1991 "Weekapaug" at the Somerville Theater, where Trey ends the "'Paug", and the set, three times! Vegas had a fantastic "Mike's Groove", which was followed by the necessary respite, "Sweet Adeline". Then it was time to "get the Led out." I breathed a sigh of relief as the band started "Good Times/ Bad Times". It seemed like they were going to end the show in normal fashion and that everything was going to be a-okay. But then it happened: instead of ending the tune after the requisite Jimmy Page-like solo, Trey's ego took over as he took it through for one more monster chase to end the tour. The dissonance built up, Chris chased the lights, and Fishman banged on the drums, and Trey exploded out of it wailing on "the note." You know, the one you always want but don't get anymore? The one that makes the ALO version "Slave" melt in your mouth, hands, and brain? Wow! Shortly after, the "GT/BT" ended triumphantly and I gave the band the rocking signal…because they absolutely rocked. At this point I will already argue that this was the best two-set show of the tour. The energy and intensity of the playing was unparalleled. It was a shame the tour didn't go on for another week — people would still be talking about it. By the time the holiday run came around they had lost the tightness and intensity. Too bad.
There was an encore that began with, "We'd like to bring up a couple friends to help us out with this one, Larry and Les from Primus." And like all good stories, this encore started with an oom-pah-pah. "Harpua" started out slow and funky…they were playing it in 4/4 as opposed to the usual 7/4. Following the standard beginning, Les chanted the old-time story of the "Wildwood Weed." Then the real story began. You see, Jimmy was getting bored of suburbia and decided to go to Las Vegas…after a full day of walking he realized he wouldn't make it so he set up camp with his favorite feline, Poster Nutbag. They loved each other so much that they stared in each other's eyes and started to yodel. Enter the August Sisters and John McCuen on banjo to play an old-time country tune "Cowboy Sweetheart". Fishman came out from behind the drums to get a better glance at the well-endowed sisters, with a sheepish grin on his face. The next morning, Jimmy and Poster woke up refreshed and realized that they were in fact close to Vegas. When they got there they were confronted by the four Elvii. Fishman proved he was quite a man: with some help from Chris' lights he sang "Suspicious Minds" better than the four Elvii (who did dance better than him, though).
Finally they made it to the Aladdin where Jimmy put his whole $12 life savings on number seventeen on the roulette wheel (coincidentally, $12 wins $420 in roulette). But just as the wheel started spinning, "Harpua" appeared across the room. Well you know, big fight, yadda yadda, dead cat, sad kid…. "Harpua" finished and launched right into "Suzie", which included Malachi from the movie Children of the Corn on percussion, Les and Larry, the yodelers, and the Elvii who were quite pleased to be back onstage. Following the second chorus, Trey pointed at Mike, who gave a "who me?" and then Les stepped up and showed Mike how it was done…beginning the funk breakdown which lead into Elvii madness. Trey played leader firing his megaphone at everyone as the Elvii hammed it up for the crowd, singing "Suzie Q" among many other things! Leaving the show all I could say was "Rock" since that was all that was necessary. Everyone understood. Phish destroyed Vegas…Vegas-style!
Epilogue: in fall 1997 the Aladdin was demolished to make room for the new Planet Hollywood Casino. This marked the end of the independently owned and operated casinos on the strip, and the second venue that had to be razed after Phish played a monumental show there on 1996 fall tour (The Omni in Atlanta being the other).

Review by Shred
12/6/2016 today. 20 years ago today…
Warning this is more of a story than a review. After 11/30/94 McNichols show when I took the crown off of Jerry's head when the big man forgot the word INSPIRATION in Terrapin (my last dead show) and handed it to Trey- there was no looking back. (Don't worry Jerry will always be KING) Many dead heads were saying hey Shred, they suck (jerry's dead phish suck get a job sticker forecast), their lyrics suck blah blah. I said listen Trey can hold a room like MSG on the tip of his dick and fuck it in every position. Period. Now those Neh sayers have seen more Phish shows then I have as I actually did get a job. Everyone should be thanking me as we just saw PH play one hell of a 2016 Fall Tour, no other band could have filled those shoes.
It was the first official show in Vegas. The Aladdin had no idea what was in store. The theater was gorgeous. Very small I would guess less than 10k. I was literally front row center. Right in front of Trey. I really don't need to review the show. Everyone knows this show. It's one of the all-time greatest. Live Phish Release. First set completely ripped. Second set melted faces. If they played a show like this now Miner's head would explode, PT would go black, twitter would be trending #phishaladdin and facebook, well it would still suck.
During intermission I was given my courtesy crack and peel to the clinic. And after the show I headed back. Even though I had a lot of friends at the show, I was really more or less flying solo. I got back stage a little too quick. The only people there were me and Les. So I grabbed a Sierra Nevada pale ale. Cracked it open. Took a huge sip. Grabbed another. put one in my back pocket for later and started to talk to Les about the show. He was very excited about playing. I have seen more Primus shows than I care to admit. I am a fan of his and he is one of the greatest bass players so this was fun. Didn't take long for me to run into my crew. We hung out for a while than eventually made it back to Mikie from Telluride's room at the Aladdin.
We were partying there for a spell then headed off to gamble. Like an idiot I forgot my wallet so we lost the group. Grabbed my wallet back at the room. Then Mikie and I went to another hotel to gamble. We were hanging out at the casino, when we ran into Trey. Mikie knew him from Telluride which obviously surprised me. And the three of us were hanging out and talking. Then Trey said he wanted to go somewhere else. They jumped in a limo and left me like a lost puppy. So I went to the Olympic Gardens and got a few lap dances before I passed out next door at the Holiday Inn. Fuckers.
Review by n00b100
The long encore doesn't particularly light my candle (Harpua never has really done it for me - I wish I knew what to tell you); I bet it was awesome to watch live, but on tape I'm just waiting for Suspicious Minds and Suzie Q to take things out on a high note. Thankfully, the first two sets are awesome enough to make up for it. Set 1 has a really good 2001 that edges closer to the dance-floor monster of 97-00, a great YEM with a funky as hell B&D segment (as the jamming chart notes - I'd personally give this version the bold-font treatment myself), and a really smoking hot DWD, while Set 2 has my favorite and one of the best Mike's Grooves ever, including a top 3 Simple (it's this, 11/16/94, and Hampton 98 for me) that doesn't stray outside the song's usual melodic boundaries but still serves as one of the group's best "chill out with headphones on and your eyes closed while lying in bed in the dark" jams. I imagine the Claypool craziness and the Vegas experience helped get this show officially released, but the music makes a purchase totally worth it.
Review by theAlbanyYEM
this is just a great show top to bottom, action packed all the way. Strong first set with Peaches, YEM, DWD>Frankenstein. The Simple jam gets lots of attention in the second frame as it should, but the Hood and Weekapaug in particular are very nice as well. The energy and crowd reaction when they stop the Weekapaug jam ON A DIME(!) and then kick right back into it is just ridiculous. One of my fav versions for sure. Oh yeah, a killer GTBT closer and some fun with Lary, Les, and the Elvis' to top things off? Ah, Vegas...
Review by Campster
I got this show pretty early in my Phish listening days and it remains an awesome showcase of the tightness of '96 with some hints towards the funky '97 jams that would soon emerge.
Wilson > Peaches is a great opening pairing. Wilson does the rock and roll thing and Peaches is a great treat and very well played.
Poor Heart sounds great especially at the furious pace of the era.
2001 is up next and this is maybe the first version that gets a nice long workout. OK so it's only about 10 minutes I think, but it's good and funky and is a real window into the future of the tune. Definitely a great version and an awesome little time capsule.
Llama is up next and blows a lid. Nice fiery version, which is again serviced well by the tightness of the era.
Mid-late first set YEM pops up and boy is this a doozy! This was a favorite of mine for a long time and the fantastic bass and drums segment keeps me coming back. Tremendous version - which makes me a little sad that we may never see these type of YEMs again... good thing for SBDs!
CTB is nice and keeps the funk train rolling (pretty funky set I!).
Down with Disease is the pre-closer closer, and is absolutely liquid hot magma. This version smokes within it's type I structure. Nonetheless a great version.
Frankenstein finishes the set off, nary a respite in site in this set!
Overall a tremendous set I. Plenty of highlight jamming in 2001, YEM & DWD as well as some inspired song choices that made for a really rocking set.
Set II kicks off with Julius, which is surprisingly satisfying. They played a nice version in this show.
Sparkle is in the 2 slot, which is a bit odd, but continues the fast paced song selection.
Mike's is in the 3 hole and this one delivers big time. It's worth mentioning that the groove as a whole is a masterpiece, but this Mike's sets the table nicely. It's not the longest or most exploratory, but just good ol' mean playing.
>Simple probably is the show's jam highlight even though it stays relatively in the box. It's a good long version with a really great upbeat jam. It sort of stays within the confines of Simple, but really is great playing throughout. Must hear - and remains a top version for me.
>Harry Hood is the other song contained in this MONSTER groove. This version is awesome. Very good playing throughout all sections, with a majestic peak!
>Weekapaug is awesome and again hints at '97 with some great funk work, some start stop, some cool down and than a straight up sprint to a tight and fiery '96 peak. Absolutely killer!
Sweet Adeline and GTBT make good foils and send us home in style.
The Encore is wild, and certainly worthy of a listen, with Claypool's influence. Not the ultimate moment on tape, but fun.
Overall set II is a great set. The Mike's Groove that comprises the majority is 100% must hear Phish. Great versions of all songs within the groove. Throw in some great playing in the Julius & GTBT bookends, and you've got yourself a nice classic set.
The encore is of course more historical artifact than must hear music, which doesn't diminish it's value necessarily.
'96 doesn't get the kudos, but this show really highlights the virtues of that year, with fiery tight playing and a lot of great song selections. When they did jam big, they definitely hit the mark. Love the '97 foreshadowing as well.
Comfortable 4.25/5
Review by ND61400
At this point it's cliche to say that 1996 is an overlooked year in Phish history. As I was only 11 that year, I'll let the vets speak to whether 1996 was truly just a "meh" year. Sandwiched as it was between December 1995 and the year-long 1997 dance party, maybe that really was the case.
However, if you judge the year solely by the official releases - Deer Creek, Omni, Coral Sky, Rupp, and Vegas - there is an awful lot of meat on those 1996 bones. This Vegas outing has one of my personal favorite Mike's Grooves. The Mike's drops neatly into Simple, and the last several minutes of Simple contain this blissful, ambient haze that foreshadows what the band would do a few years on. The Hood is super strong and peaks gloriously before Fish smoothly ups the tempo into Weekapaug. It's a fantastic suite of music that holds the listener captive all the way through. Oh yeah, and you also get a first set that contains a Peaches, 2001 (with legs!), YEM, and DWD. And I'm going to stump for that 2001>Llama that reminds me of the Gumbo>Llama from Fukuoka.
So, looking back at the 1996 official releases, you can really see the band laying you a trail of breadcrumbs for what was to come in 1997 and beyond. Maybe the year as a whole is overlooked, but this release, and the others, shouldn't be.

Review by fhqwhgads
"Oh, God," as Fishman says several times in this show! I'm underexposed to 1996, outside of some of the archival releases (of which this is one.) But the band's chops were hot at this point in Phishtory. Curiously, I don't perceive Mike to be taking much of a leading role in this show. I think Fishman is more driving the bus at this point. There are probably obvious implications to that involving the "grid"-style playing Phish was said to have been going for at this time, or the continuing presence of the percussion rack. I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable. To get down to brass tacks: there are some quote-unquote gimmicky segments to this show, arguably: You Enjoy Myself has a donuts vocal jam (nice to coincidentally revisit this show so soon after the Baker's Dozen!), and of course the encore is the stuff of legend. Down with Disease in the first set is really fiery, though, and the Mike's Groove is remarkable. Simple gets very pretty. The Harpua in the encore is also notable (as if it weren't already notable enough) for being played in a 4/4 time signature, in contrast to its usual 7/8.

1) 20 Best Car Racing Games for Smartphones
2) The History of Car Racing- Its Trials and Tribulations
The dramas and movies that you see on television about car racing have always stemmed from a particular history. This history, unbeknownst to many originated somewhere in the late 1800s, right after the introduction of proper gasoline fueled vehicles. The contest was introduced by Monsieur Fossier, an editor based in Paris. Although the race was won by George Bouton, it wasn't considered an actual victory, keeping in view that Bouton was the only racer who showed up with his one of a kind, Albert, the Comte de Dion.
3) 15 Best Car Racers of The World
Racers, no matter which category they belong to, are definitely enviable. With fast cars, heroic survival stories and money involved, this has to be everybody's dream job. Everyone, however, does not make it to the top and forever get their names imprinted in the yellowing pages of history. The lucky ones, and no doubt with talent, reach the top and savor their victory and fame for as long as their careers last and even beyond that. In compiling this list of the best racers of all time, it was difficult to be able to number them in any particular order because, firstly, all of them enjoyed successful careers in different kinds of racing and secondly, they all were very good. So, numbering them in order would have made this list biased. I might have missed out some names that fans might think deserved to be put up here, but that was not intentional. It is difficult to add all the names here on one page.


It may not seem like much for what you pay for, but at least in our family, this little package of fun has provided long-lasting entertainment for my 2, 4, and 6 year olds, even after 2 months of near daily use.
Since we have a cat, I was worried that our kinetic sand box would end up being mistaken for a litter box, but after 2 months, so far it hasn't happened. I was also concerned that like our failed floam experiment, it would collect pet hair, but since it's not sticky at all, that hasn't happened either. Occasionally I find a cat hair or two in the box and it's easily removed. I told the kids that if they got any outside the box, I was going to sweep or vacuum it up and throw it in the trash, but honestly, it is so easy to clean since it sticks together so well, that the tiny bit that has been removed from the box is easily clumped back into a pile on our hard floor and thrown back in. Best of all, it doesn't dry out, so I don't need to monitor when my kids play with it, like I do with Playdoh to make sure it all gets put away.
I should probably look into making our own kinetic sand at some point, but honestly, I think this prepackaged stuff is worth the cost. Everyone in our family (and even child and adult guests) love how the sand feels. It doesn't leave any residue on hands or clothing. After 2 months, I think we've lost very little of the original amount and it still gets played with by someone in our house nearly every day. Mostly, in this era where it's a challenge to get kids to resist the siren song of media, I love the tactile, creativity-inducing play that kinetic sand inspires.
This is the best brand of the ones we have tried (at our home and others), too. I don't think you can make your own kinetic sand – it has a polymer base. I figure it's a good investment for the hours of play.

Sales Lead Scoring Is a Winning Formula
Back when customers actually shopped at brick-and-mortar stores, it was easy to observe them and determine from their behavior which ones were likely to buy and which ones were just browsing. Today, with more companies migrating to online commerce, it is important to find a digital equivalent that can assess consumer behavior and identify who is most likely to buy. The answer for many could be automated sales lead scoring and qualification.
Sales lead scoring systems are not new. The technology dates back to the 1990s, and more systems were developed in the early 2000s, but their uses were rather limited.
"The main use case was for businesses to qualify the sales leads they were getting by answering questions such as 'Are these prospects the best fits for our product?' or 'Are they showing real interest in buying?'" says Sean Zinsmeister, vice president of product marketing at Infer, a predictive sales and marketing platform provider. "This was the digital equivalent to the non-digital world—where you could watch people and their behaviors in your store and size them up for sales potential. In the digital world, you can't observe people on a physical level, so you have to devise other systems."
Zinsmeister notes that almost every marketing leader he meets has trouble finding effective ways to measure their sales lead generation and qualification processes.
"There are several reasons why companies haven't adopted lead scoring systems more aggressively," he says. "Many early lead scoring systems lacked the capacity to process large volumes of leads that technologies like the IoT are now making possible. Also, many of the lead scoring systems were tedious and difficult to use. They didn't always align well with companies' marketing and sales workflows. Consequently, the systems were abandoned."
Another important consideration was the volume of sales leads generated.
"If you don't have a mass lead volume, you will likely process your leads manually," says Chris Rothstein, a former Google sales executive who cofounded San Francisco–based Groove Labs, which provides a sales engagement platform. "However, once your lead volume grows, you will need to find a scoring methodology that can help you navigate through leads and prioritize them in terms of the greatest likelihood of a sale."
Because lead scoring systems can assess the likelihood of prospects being serious about and actually buying products, they can make salespeople more effective. The time to market that the automation provides, compared to tedious manual lead qualification processes, is also consequential, since the sooner you reach a prospect who has expressed an interest, the greater the likelihood of a sale.
"This can have a major impact on your ability to shorten sales cycles and get sales sooner," Rothstein says. "Companies that use lead scoring effectively can also improve their revenue per capita in their sales forces."
As an example, Rothstein points to a very large parking services company with more than 10,000 employees.
"The company had a common sales coordination problem: Its marketing and its sales departments didn't collaborate in a consistently effective way, and one of the trouble areas was developing quality leads and passing them on," he says. "By instituting an automated lead scoring system to process all incoming leads, the company was able to improve the quality of its leads and improve the number of conversions to sales."
Automated sales lead scoring also facilitated better marketing and sales information exchanges and collaboration, he adds.
Rothstein also looks back to his own experiences with Google.
"We received high volumes of sales leads and spent a great deal of time trying to qualify these leads," he recalls. "When we introduced sales lead scoring automation, it made a huge difference in our ability to convert sales leads to sales.
"I encourage anyone who is dealing with a high volume of sales leads to look at an automated lead scoring system so you can reduce your time to market and improve the likelihood of converting your leads to sales," he says.
An even bigger challenge for companies considering lead scoring systems is defining and measuring metrics for effective sales lead development.
That was one of the problems at Shoretel, a large telecommunications provider.
