Mechanical properties of micrometer long DNA have mainly been probed at room temperature with a force resolution limited by thermal fluctuations. Cryo-force spectroscopy combined with computer simulations now enables to quantify adhesion and intra-molecular mechanics at the sub-nanometer level by stretching up to several nano-newton tensile loads spray-deposited single-strand DNA oligomers on surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum.
Single-molecule force spectroscopic experiments on bio-molecules, such as Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), are usually conducted under ambient conditions in solutions using few tens of pico-Newton loads [1]. The mechanical response is then hampered by thermal motions of the molecule and only folding/unfolding of soft parts are detectable when pulling the molecules [2-4]. To suppress thermal fluctuations in such measurements [5], a solution is to apply large tensile loads in the nano-newton range. Using an atomic force microscope (AFM), few investigations have reached such force levels with long polymers by strongly binding their ends using specific chemical end-groups. These bulky anchoring groups however limit the experiments to several hundreds of nanometer long bio-polymers. As a result, and to our knowledge, sub-nanometer structural details of such molecules have remained elusive in force versus extension curves recorded under ambient conditions.
ssDNA Imaging with Sub-Molecular Precision
Although imaging of DNA using scanning probe techniques has also been a long-term challenge [7-13], frequency-modulation AFM under cryogenic conditions has surprisingly never been exploited for such purpose. Low-temperature AFM provides spatial resolution of adsorbed molecules down to the single-bond level [14] and enables complex tip-assisted manipulations at surfaces [15]. To address bio-molecular systems in general using such technique, we developed an electrospray deposition techniques [16-17] enabling the transfer of oligomers contained in solution to an atomically-clean gold substrate prepared in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). As prototypical bio-molecule, we choose a 20-Cytosine single-strand DNA (ssDNA) oligomer having an expected length of about 6 nm in solution according to molecular dynamic (MD) simulations.
Upon deposition, we observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at 4.8K clusters of various dimensions which always appeared much larger than this expected size. Additional simulations indeed revealed that the sprayed ssDNA molecule reaches the surface surrounded by a hydration layer. Experimentally, successive annealing of the substrate above 100°C in UHV provoked the desorption of the solvent molecules leading to the observation of single-ssDNA oligomers as well as assemblies (fig. 2a and b). Sub-nm resolution could be obtained by STM as well as associated constant-height AFM with CO-terminated tips on both morphologies (fig. 2c and d). In spite of the potential resolution below the molecular level, the determination of the overall ssDNA conformation remains rather difficult due to the complex folded conformations of the oligomers on the Au(111) surface as confirmed by computer simulations.
ssDNA Cryo-Force Spectroscopy
We recently showed pulling experiments of long polymeric chains or graphene nano-ribbons with the tip of an AFM in cryogenic conditions [18-19]. Experimentally, the tip is first approached to one end of a selected molecule until a tip-molecule contact is being formed, and then retracted lifting the molecule off. We applied the same method to investigate the mechanical response of the ssDNA adsorbed on Au(111). In contrast to polymeric chains, only partial lifting of oligomers could be however achieved since the folded ssDNA conformation and its strong adhesion on gold appeared to be limiting factors. Complementary MD simulations further revealed that desorbing a single-folded oligomer with the AFM tip requires not only peeling off the structure from the gold surface, but also unfolding part of the backbone prior to detachment. Each peculiarity of the folding configuration can thus cause an abrupt increase of the required force to lift the molecule and the rupture of the tip-molecule bond.
Softer as it Detaches
Looking at the experimental and theoretical lifting curves, we noticed that the variations of the tip-sample stiffness k as a function of the tip separation Z are very different from our previous works on polymeric chains [18]. In the chain case, the k maxima (~0.4 N m−1) were constant during retraction and the lifting process ended at a distance corresponding to the number of monomers initially identified by STM imaging. These synthetic chains weakly adhere to the substrate allowing nearly friction-less sliding and also a complete chain detachment. In contrast, the ssDNA oligomer backbone is more flexible with most bases strongly bonded to the gold surface leading to a much stronger adhesion on the substrate. We thus explained the gradual decrease of k (fig. 3b) by the decrease of stiffness of the lifted segment as it becomes longer, being strongly pinned between the tip and the surface. We further rationalize the detachment mechanism using a springs-in-series model that includes the stiffnesses ktip and kpin of the segment ends anchored to the tip and to the adsorbed part of the oligomer (fig. 3a). By fitting the envelope of k(Z) traces assuming ktip = 35 N m−1, we extracted kpin = 18.3 ± 3.3 N m−1 and k1 = 32.6 ± 3.9 N m-1. The latter corresponds to the stiffness per repeat distance in the lifted segment. As a consequence, kDNA = k1/19 = 1.7 N m−1 is the stiffness of the fully stretched 20-cytosine oligomer with one base at each end subject to an average tension of 2 nN. Noteworthy, this load is one to two orders of magnitude larger than the maximum values attained in typical room-temperature investigations of ssDNA in ambient conditions.
Cryogenic force spectroscopy [20] detects the mechanical properties of bio-molecules, only few nanometer long, strongly adsorbed on surfaces under tensile loads up to a few nano-newtons, i.e., 10–100 times higher than hitherto applied in most force spectroscopy studies under ambient conditions. Such complementary techniques implemented at ultra-low temperature might better characterize the adhesion properties or enable single-base distinction in future experiments.

Barnes replacing Richards on Red Sox ALDS roster
/ by Justin Leger
After being left off the Boston Red Sox' initial American League Division Series roster, Matt Barnes is back with the team ahead of Game 2.
The Red Sox reliever will replace right-hander Garrett Richards, who is dealing with a left hamstring strain. The team announced the move prior to Friday night's matchup vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.
Major League Baseball has approved a roster substitution for the #RedSox due to an injury sustained by RHP Garrett Richards.
Richards, who has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, will be replaced on the Division Series roster by RHP Matt Barnes.
— Red Sox (@RedSox) October 8, 2021
Richards exited Game 1 after facing only one batter. He was replaced by Nick Pivetta, who went on to pitch the next 4 2/3 innings in the 5-0 loss.
Barnes' 2021 season went downhill after being named an All-Star for the first time in his MLB career. The 2018 World Series champion posted a 13.50 ERA (10 ER in 6 2/3 innings) in September.
Game 2 is scheduled for 7:02 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field.

Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan Fill Theater
Fundraiser Success Thanks to Our Supporters and Volunteers
On October 13, noted journalist Amy Goodman, along with co-author Denis Moyhihan, appeared at the Phoenix Center for the Arts and the Third Street Theater for a Fourth Anniversary fundraiser for Radio Phoenix. Thanks to the efforts of our volunteers and with the cooperation of the staff at the Phoenix Center, the Amy and Denis drew a sell-out crowd at a pre-presentation reception, and filled the theater where Amy and Denis discussed their new book, "The Silenced Majority."
Amy and Denis have been taking "Democracy Now!," the most widely syndicated news program in the world,on the road for a 100-city tour, starting with the Republican National Convention in Tampa and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, running up to Election Day. They've traveled through many of the electoral swing states, going beyond the mainstream media's obsessive focus on the latest poll numbers and candidate gaffes, to examine how people are organizing; the impacts of restrictive voter ID laws that are making it harder to vote; and how the massive influx of campaign cash following the Citizens United decision is changing how our democracy works.
On October 12, Amy and Denis were in Bisbee, Arizona, for a presentation at community radio station KBRP, a low power station now celebrating its seventh year on the air. The next day, the duo were in Tucson in the morning to support KXCI. By three in the afternoon, they were still speaking to the crowd and hadn't begun signing books yet; but the folks at Radio Phoenix weren't worried. Thanks to the hard work of the volunteers under the direction of Board member Jeanne Frieden, the reception at the Phoenix Center for the Arts started at 6 PM, and right on cue, Amy and Denis walked in the door.

Progressive Moroccan Journalists Visit Radio Phoenix
Radio Phoenix is becoming a favorite spot for US State Department tours by progressive journalists from around the world. After the visit by the South African delegation a few months ago, we thought that our straight talk about media, money, and monopoly would have made the State Department think twice before sending us more journalists. But on July 2, four progressive journalists from Morocco spent two hours at the studio learning about the realities of American radio, then tried out Mexican food and tequila with Board members.

JETAA News
The JET with his own TV show
A former JET broke major ground last year when he became the first non-Japanese person to have his own sitcom on NHK.
BJ Fox – a comedy alias – is the star of Home Sweet Tokyo. The show focuses on the lives of the British Bryan Jenkins (played by Fox), his Japanese wife Itsuki and their daughter Alice after the family move to Tokyo when Itsuki's mother passes away. Bryan gives up his career and becomes a househusband, finding himself in a country he doesn't understand and a life he didn't expect, passing his days in confused and monosyllabic interaction with his father-in-law Tsuneo.
Some of the comedy in this English-language show – which has Japanese sections subtitled – does play to the trope of the clueless foreigner: Bryan copying elementary school kids and thrusting his arm into the air when crossing the road. But the comedic thrust is the way Bryan's bafflement highlights Japan's idiosyncrasies.
In the first episode, Bryan can't understand why his six year old daughter can travel to school alone, while his 65 year old father-in-law has to be accompanied to the bank. He starts covertly tailing Alice, whereupon it's reported back to parents that a suspicious stranger has been seen following children and a special safety patrol is being put on (cue a truly hilarious artist's impression). "It's too safe. It's so safe I make it a problem," as Jennings explains to me.
In a later episode, after the stodgy fair he has been packing for Alice's lunches is mocked by her classmates, Bryan is forced to learn to make character bentos from a narcissistic YouTuber. While the content is light, covering different themes running through Japanese daily life, it also skewers the contradictions with some great one-liners.
Alice and Itsuki – Bryan's daughter and wife
The four-episode first series of Home Sweet Tokyo was shown on English-language NHK World as well NHK 1 (the equivalent of BBC1) during November and December last year: the first time an NHK show had been led by a foreign comedy writer.
Not bad going considering Fox started doing standup almost on a whim in 2013:
"I was on a business trip to Tokyo for two weeks. Maybe I'd been drinking too much, I'm not sure, but I'd been going to izakayas every night and was looking for something else to do. So I went to a comedy show and just ended up doing it."
"I didn't do very well but it wasn't just like I jumped up and grabbed the mic. I think deep down I kind of knew what I was going to say. "
Back in the UK in 2005 after two years on JET as a Coordinator of International Relations (CIR) In Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, this wasn't part of the plan.
"Actually, I was never into comedy. I'd been to maybe two shows in my life. What I did do is I used to write comics in the UK indie press. I see an overlap there in terms of creation."
"I also did the Sir Peter Parker speech contests [at SOAS] twice. And now I look back at it that was standup. It wasn't supposed to be, but I had an awareness of my own Japanese ability that I wasn't going to win. I didn't make any jokes, but I'd deliberately go on a different angle."
He had no plans to return to Japan either: "It was almost a case of 'never go back'. There's other places I always assumed I would enjoy more."
Fox – a London native – first went to Japan on a school exchange programme
But after spells on the Ladbrokes graduate scheme and at Pokemon, Fox moved to the international office of Rockstar Games in London, where on day one he found himself discussing censorship of Grand Theft Auto in the Japanese market.
"One of the benefits of exaggerating blatantly you've got fluent Japanese on your CV is at no time did I ever think they were going to check."
"Then from the moment I got the job to moving, the Japanese guy in the office quit. Perfect timing... I remember on the first day they were like can you interpret?"
In 2010 he moved to Singapore, where after his impromptu standup moment in Tokyo he started to do one or two comedy shows a week. In 2015, a job came up in Tokyo and by now he had found his vocation performing standup as BJ Fox.
"I started running a lot of the shows in Tokyo. There wasn't much standup here so most of the shows I started. And it kind of really boomed briefly."
In fact, Home Sweet Tokyo wasn't a long-time idea, but very much a collobaration. A producer at NHK called Keiko Tsuneki saw a video he'd made with another comedian, and came to watch him perform. The next day she got in touch to pitch an English language show to him.
"I saw some issues with it. I said, here's why. Why don't we meet next week and I'll kind of tweak this? To be honest, I totally changed it. And she just took it and ran with it, so we were doing this thing together."
Fox considers the primary audience to be an English-language one overseas, interested in Japan, and research conducted by NHK has found Home Sweet Tokyo to be well-received. He describes the tone as "a light introduction, quite educational", with one episode, for example, centred around the concept of 'naked communication' at a sento (which backfires quite spectacularly).
Fox and the producers were alive to the risks of leaning too much on cultural stereotypes:
"I realised even though Bryan's just one character he represents the entire land of gaikoku in many ways. Obviously, being concerned about your daughter," he says, referring to the first episode, "that's a very universal thing. Bryan presents everything with a sort of wry cleverness."
"That's what I like about the show. It's not necessarily just saying Japan's brilliant. Bryan as a character isn't actually in love with Japan, which often when you see foreigners on TV they are."
Bryan's status as a househusband and the fact his Japanese wife is the more international character, at home across cultures, are also subtly progressive.
"I think the actual show's about the state of masculinity. Two people having what they thought their life was going to be like taken away from them: in the grandad's case, assuming he was going to have a nice retirement and his wife dies, and in Bryan's case, he was working in London and all of a sudden he's disempowered and stuck in Japan."
The curmudgeonly Tsuneo in a rare moment of cheer
After its positive reception, a second series of Home Sweet Tokyo is being discussed with hopes for confirmation soon. Fox is still juggling comedy with a full-time job in marketing at Visa. He expresses some joking disappointment he's only been recognised three times – despite being the star of a tv show on the equivalent on BBC1 – and admits it was "really weird" going back to work after it premiered like any other Monday.
He is also excited to get back to doing standup – the dual-language comedy group he is part of will play three dates in Singapore in July. One day Fox even harbours hopes to make a Japanese language sitcom playing off themes from his time as a CIR, where a provincial tourism board attempts to push rapid globalisation and 'cash in' on Tokyo 2020 – given the unlikely directions his career has taken so far, perhaps coming full circle isn't so unlikely.
All episodes of Home Sweet Tokyo can be watched in their entirety on NHK's website.

Our Lord Jesus Christ led me to Waitrose where I bought food for a man on the street. He needed shelter and I withdrew some money to pay for his accommodation. I walked with him to the bus stop and then sat down on a bench where our God asked me to speak to a man who was waiting to go home.
I then walked back and I saw Tom. We went on a walk up Kensington High Street and around Kensington. We entered a shop to buy provisions for Tom and our God told me to buy for him anything he wanted to buy from the shop.
We walked back towards Kensington Square where we sat and prayed for what he needed and we prayed a decade of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I was asked by our God to give him a booklet and prayer card of Divine Mercy and took him to get some food. I asked him if he wanted to help me distribute food among the homeless and he helped me find Dave. I sat with Dave asking him to come to my flat and stay there for as long as he needed. He didn't want my help and so I waited with him for a few hours and begged him to let me help him. Our God asked me to wait with him and gave me perseverance to bring him home. He slept in my bed again and I left him there to sleep.


Why is Hank from Henry?
The name Henry dates back to medieval England. (Curiously, at that time, Hank was a diminutive for John.) So how do we get Hank from Henry? Well, one theory says that Hendrick is the Dutch form of the English name Henry. Henk is the diminutive form of Hendrick, ergo, Hank from Henk. Hanks were hugely popular here in the States for many decades, though by the early 90s it no longer appeared in the top 1,000 names for baby boys. But Hank is making a comeback!

Amongst probably the most typical electrical wiring inquiries is on how to wire a swap. Whilst using switches at home is fairly uncomplicated, wiring 1 may well not be that simple for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this example, let's say you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely common switch (plus the most basic).
You will find 3 hues of wires in a very standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them over the terminal screws - a single on top rated and also the other on the bottom screw of your switch. The white wire serves as a source of uninterrupted electricity and it is typically linked to your light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the eco-friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective change.
These techniques would typically be sufficient to help make a standard change work with out a difficulty. Then again, for those who are not self-confident that you choose to can execute the process properly and safely and securely you superior allow the pros do it as an alternative. Just after all, there is a purpose why this endeavor is among the commonest electrical wiring concerns requested by most of the people.
For many reason, the way to wire a ceiling fan is likewise one among quite possibly the most frequent electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this activity, you need to use an individual switch for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it is really simply a matter of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan to your black wire with the swap. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire need to be connected on the black wire on the swap in addition.
There are causes why these are generally by far the most generally asked electrical wiring inquiries. A single, several consider it is really simple to do, and two, they're the frequent electrical jobs at home. But then you certainly must not place your safety at risk within your target to save money. The stakes could even be significantly bigger should you endeavor to save money and do an electrical wiring work with out enough awareness or practical experience.


That recently released snippet, very much a tease, of Carol, Tyreese, and Judith running through the forest was all right, I guess, but it didn't tell us much. We want the trailer. Fortunately, we won't have long to wait.
According to The Walking Dead's Twitter account, the trailer for season five will be released July 25, so start counting down. What do you hope to see? Action? Some hint to the fate of Beth? Gareth being punched in his stupid hipster face?
The trailer will be released to coincide with The Walking Dead's fourth annual panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, where cast members Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Chad Coleman, Michael Cudlitz, executive producer and showrunner Scott Gimple, EPs Gale Anne Hurd, Robert Kirkman, David Alpert and special effects make-up supervisor Greg Nicotero will be talking about season five, with presenter Chris Hardwick.

Rutgers WR Ruhann Peele facing charges in New Brunswick court
Rutgers football wide receiver Ruhann Peele is facing charges of disorderly conduct and simple assault in New Brunswick Municipal Court, according to information obtained from the courthouse.
The Linden native has a court date set for Monday.
Peele, a potential starter, has not played for the Scarlet Knights this season as he suffered an upper body injury during the first week of August training camp and was ruled out indefinitely by coach Kyle Flood.
"We are aware of the situation involving Ruhann,'' Flood said Wednesday in a statement. "Due to the fact he has a pending court date, we will not comment until the legal process is complete.''
Flood was asked for an update on Peele's injury condition last week.
"I know he's scheduled to get looked at again and have another test done," Flood said. "I don't have that exact date with me, but above and beyond that, no."
The third-year sophomore made 28 catches for for 281 yards and one touchdown and recorded a sack and an interception during a brief stint on defense while playing in all 13 games last season.

Chris Manak, aka Peanut Butter Wolf, is a busy man. Between producing his own music and running the rap/soul/funk beacon Stones Throw Records, he has started a side label (Circle Star), starred in his own documentary (Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton), and still manages to make time to dig obscure record crates looking for more lost nuggets. Hopes&Fears chatted with the guru at his Los Angeles home about the six-year-old who coined his name, connecting with Minimal Wave's Veronica Vasicka, and why no one should be starting a record label in 2015.
Hopes&Fears: What are you up to today?
Chris Manak: Well, I missed a conference call earlier, so it started off pretty bad. I'm in trouble again. I'm in the middle of a move right now, so that's encompassing everything. As far as Stones Throw stuff, there's always new artists that we're working with. I actually started a new label for the stuff that I felt didn't really fit what people have come to expect from Stones Throw.
H&F: Stones Throw has such a variety to it. I'd be curious about what doesn't fit within the Stones Throw catalog.
CM: It is kind of an experiment. I just felt like all the stuff that was closer to rock music was not being accepted by the traditional Stones Throw audience. I mean, there's some people that are into Stones Throw that do have eclectic tastes in music, but then some people just want to hear hip hop and soul and funk, you know?
H&F: What's the new label called?
CM: It's called Circle Star. There are only a few artists on the roster right now. There's a guy, Jesse Hackett, we're actually releasing his album right now.
Hopes And Fears
Chris is more into providing an assortment of high-quality acts than pushing the envelope with avant-garde music
H&F: Just looking at Stones Throw roster, there are already a bunch of rock bands, like Boardwalk, for instance.
CM: Well, that's a good example of something that I felt having the Stones Throw name on might have hurt it more than helped. I could be wrong. One artist, Vex Ruffin, is someone who's been one of my favorites, but it's been really hard to find an audience for him as well. I'm bumping him over to Circle Star. I just know as a kid, I was into all different types of music, but then I would go to certain labels for certain things. For hip-hop, I would go to Def Jam when it first came out, or Tommy Boy. For rock music, I would go to 4AD or something.
H&F: Is Circle Star your 4AD?
CM: It's funny. I wish I worked for 4AD. They have a long history and they're an awesome label.
H&F: I was reading up on some of your most recent interviews and it actually struck me that a lot of the labels you were mentioning were pretty much straight forward rock or pop music. You just mentioned 4AD. I read an interview before where you mentioned Captured Tracks. What do you think drives you towards certain rock music?
CM: I like rock bands that have an understanding of a lot of different stuff. The group Tones on Tail is a group that I like a lot. They have jazz influences and African influences and everything. I mean, I guess even Talking Heads or something. They were considered a rock band. Liquid Liquid might be a better example. Still, a lot of the artists that I'm putting out on Circle Star would prefer to be on Stones Throw just because of the history of it.
H&F: There was recently a documentary about your life and Stones Throw. What do you make of the label's legacy?
CM: I guess I don't need a funeral now. By there being a documentary out there, it's almost like, "Okay, this label's over now." You know what I mean? That was the concern when they wanted to do the documentary. I don't really want to be known as a label that was big from such and such year to such and such. I always find a way to align myself with talented artists. That's really the life and blood of the labels. Finding artists that are still making relevant music.
H&F: Do you feel like the legacy of the label determines its future?
CM: I'm more interested in finding good music than pushing the envelope. Interesting music is usually interesting because it doesn't sound like stuff that's already been heard before. It's not so much I want to be different or I want to be weird.
H&F: How much do you look to new acts versus robbing the record crates?
CM: I see something similar happening with XL where they'll put out Bobby Womack or they'll put out Gil Scott-Heron, but then most of the stuff that they put out is newer, contemporary music. That's just something that I've done unconsciously throughout the years. I'm putting out an album with Steve Arrington. Steve Arrington was an artist that I grew up really appreciating and when I heard that he was making music again through Dam Funk, we both were equally excited to reach out to him and to try to work something out where we worked with him. I mean, even the Madvillain record with Madlib, KMD was a group that we really liked. If you talk to Doom's fans, I mean, most of them found out about KMD afterward, like a whole generation of people, while heads like myself and Madlib knew KMD to begin with. The same thing happened with Kool Keith and Dr. Octagon or Del.
H&F: What's been your favorite summer jam of 2015?
CM: I think it's the Thundercat single ["Them Changes"]. That was really cool. It has those Isley Brothers drums that Dilla sampled for "Won't Do." He's always been really talented. Some of it is really reminiscent of George Duke, but I think now he's doing his own thing a little more. It's just a catchy pop song.
H&F: Where do you think you listen to the most music?
CM: In the car a lot of the time although I get my phone calls done in the car as well. Which, I know, I'm not supposed to be doing but at least I'm not texting. A lot of it is on the computer. I mean, it's a combination. I was in a record store in Chicago recently and I spent several hours just going through gospel records. I still spend a lot of time trying to discover things, new and old.
H&F: Who's got to go? Drake, Meek, Wayne or Future.
CM: Oh. No. I'd have to hear every song by every artist before making that judgment. I'm really ADHD like that, I wouldn't make that judgment call. Plus, I'm a Libra, so I have to weigh it all out; I'm constantly seeking balance. There's this new Sprite ad now where it has Rakim, Biggie, and then Drake. I actually do think Drake is talented and makes really catchy good songs, but it's totally different than what Rakim was doing. I don't see him as an extension of what they were doing. For Sprite to put them all in that same category is just weird.
H&F: Yeah. It's weird and I wonder who gave them permission to use some of those images.
CM: Well, Sprite has such a long history with hip hop. I mean, I've seen old Sprite commercials from the early eighties where there was just breakdancing. They didn't even have any rappers. Then they had Q-Tip and Large Professor and everybody from the early nineties during their heyday. It was almost like, oh, there's this totally huge corporation that's supporting underground hip hop. That's cool, but I don't know. It's weird but cool. They've aligned themselves with hip hop.
H&F: You see a lot of that. Sprite's got its foot in the hip hop game. You see things like Red Bull doing Boiler Room, which is something that really helped me lock into a lot of underground electronic music. There is this idea that these different lifestyle companies help music to grow, but at the same time, they use them to their own ends.
CM: I had this one artist that I was working with. I asked them if they wanted to do this Red Bull thing. They were just like, "No way. Fuck Red Bull." I mean, Red Bull has done a lot of good for music. It still helps feed these creative scenes even if it's exploiting them or whatever. I don't see it as that exploitative. I remember KRS-One. He had one of his songs in a Nike commercial and everyone criticized him. He was like, "Man, when I was a kid, I felt like I really made it if I could save up enough money to even wear a pair of Nike's. To be asked by them to do their music, Hell yeah I'm going to do it."
H&F: I was looking through your label's roster and one name stuck out to me pretty profoundly. How did you first hear about Homeboy Sandman?
CM: There is this rapper, Jonwayne, that I worked with. When I was talking to Jonwayne, he showed me a beat and Homeboy Sandman was rapping on it. I was like, "Who's this rapping?" He was like, "Oh. Homeboy Sandman. You don't know who that is?" I mean, just hearing his music, right away I felt it was something that Stones Throw was missing. He has the consciousness, but he embodies the essence of old school hip hop, even though he's not really from the old school.
H&F: Yeah, definitely. I've lived in New York for ten years now and I feel like if there is any rapper from New York whose name I have seen, it's definitely Homeboy Sandman's. I mean, I feel like he's papered every single train in NYC with flyers. There wasn't a train coming from Queens I could have ridden that was not covered in his flyers.
CM: When was that?
H&F: This was more prevalent up until about 2010, 2011, then I didn't see it as much. Before that, everywhere. I'm sure if you Google "Homeboy Sandman New York Train" or something, you will see so many pictures that people have taken because they were everywhere. He definitely has a lot of drive and definitely really, really wants to make music.
CM: He's super motivated and he writes so many songs. I mean, it's hard for any of us to really keep up with him. He's so prolific. With most artists on Stones Throw, it takes years for them to even finish an album and Sandman is like, "Here's fifty songs. Let's go through these and pick the best twelve." I think that's how the best albums are made.
H&F: I read that you got your name from your ex-girlfriend's younger brother.
CM: Yeah.
Chris believes that sometimes, all it takes is one original person to really bring a style back
H&F: I was wondering if you still talk to him and what he's up to?
CM: I do talk to him through Facebook. I think he's in Southeast Asia now. He's still involved in the arts. He's alive and well. It's so weird that he's probably in his thirties now and he was six years old I think when he made that name up.
H&F: What is an average day like for Peanut Butter Wolf?
CM: I try to go into the office as much as I can. Whenever I'm there, there's always stuff going on and I can allow myself to be creative and make creative decisions. There's always artists there. It's really an artist-friendly community at the office. We have a studio there and we actually are expanding it to be two studios, two different rooms, because everyone's fighting over that one room. We just kind of took over the whole building where we're at. It's a good place to be. There's around ten of us now at Stones Throw and we're going strong with that number. We're not hiring more, we're not letting people go, we're in a good stride right now.
H&F: You got your family together.
CM: We got the family.
H&F: One of the early Stones Throw releases that resonated with me a lot was when you reissued the Minimal Wave compilation. I feel like since then, that kind of coldwave meets minimal synth music has exploded. I feel like I hear a lot of it in rap music and in electronic music, especially experimental techno. I'm curious about how that all came together. What was the catalyst for that whole experience for you?
CM: Well, I had a soft spot for that music. In high school, I would buy Cabaret Voltaire records, but a lot of it was hard to find. I was living in San Jose, so even PIL "Second Edition", or it used to be called "Metal Box." It was a little more post-punk, but I was always seeking out music like that. There was a compilation called "Some Bizarre" and it was Bizarre Records' first thing.
It had Depeche Mode's first song before any of their albums before they got picked up by Sire. I was always looking for stuff like that back then. Basically, I found a couple compilations that Veronica Vasicka did on her label, which is called Minimal Wave. When I looked at the back of them, I noticed it was a Brooklyn, New York address and I called my friend, Dwayne, who lives in New York and works at the record store, Other Music. He's the guy who introduced me to Gary Wilson, who's not minimal wave, but still very alternative. I called Dwayne. I figured if anybody knew who this girl was, it would be him. He's like, "Oh. That's my girlfriend's best friend." He gave me her phone number. Sure enough, it was his girlfriend's best friend. I spoke to Veronica and I was like, "I really like all the stuff you're finding and reissuing." I just told her I wanted to do a compilation through Stones Throw, where her and I choose the songs together and she was receptive. I just think she's kind of a leader in that movement and sometimes, all it takes is one person to really bring something back. I kind of see Dam-Funk the same way for electric eighties funk. What they call modern funk or modern synth, synth funk. It just really made sense for me to put something out like that. It kind of had gothic overtones. It was a side of my high school [experience] that people didn't really know about me.
H&F: Well, I see this connection between Minimal Wave and then Dam-Funk and J Dilla, it's all these nuggets, you know? It's all these classic sounds that have informed what people are doing so much now, but you want to show everyone "Look what the roots of it are," so they can make their own conclusions where to go with everything.
CM: I mean, I sat in on an interview with Madlib one time and they asked Madlib, right in front of me, they said, "What is your favorite Stones Throw release that you had nothing to do with?" He said, "The Minimal Wave album." That's not the response that I expected from him.
H&F: That's interesting.
CM: It's true. I mean, it's raw music. He's working on a [Minimal Wave-esque] album right now where it's his beat or his interpretation of [the genre]. He called me up one day and he said, "I need a singer for this." I'm like, "Well, who do you want on it?" He's like, "I don't care. Anybody, as long as they're white." I said, "Oh. I can sing on it."
H&F: I feel like there's been a lot of weird grey areas about the legal proceedings involving sampled music in the industry. For example, with "Blurred Lines" and Marvin Gaye's family. Although, I really didn't enjoy that song at all, there is a sentiment that the rules are being rewritten, almost. I was just curious if you had anything to say about the future of music publishing in regards to copyright infringement.
CM: The sample thing is definitely strange. I mean, even the fact that Marvin Gaye had a lawsuit with Pharrell, I didn't see the outcome turning out the way that it did. I mean, there's just so many songs that sound similar to other songs; just the feel of it. In that case, it was the cowbell and the way the drums were recorded. It wasn't even the melody or anything like that. It was just the feel of it. That was a bummer to me because what it does is it makes artists afraid to mention who their influences are. [Pharrell and Robin Thicke] were talking about in an interview and were like, "oh, we really like that song, so we wanted to create something with that feel." They basically incriminated themselves by saying that.
Beyond that, yeah, I mean, everybody's influenced by somebody, somehow, some way. It just doesn't promote a healthy creative environment. I feel like samples should be treated the same way that covers are, where when anybody does a cover of somebody [else's song] there's just a statutory rate that they pay, but with samples you can get sued for whatever that person wants to hit you up for. For Biz Markie or De La Soul to lose out as high as they did on money, it was just really scary. They sampled and they got hit so hard that it made people not want to sample anymore. The Quasimoto album that I put out, or J Dilla's "Donuts," those would never come out on a major label because anybody that was sampled in the creation of those albums would come after the label [if it's] a major label who has a lot of money but [the records don't] even necessarily make that much money. It's more just a reflection of the U.S. law system, where the lawyers really just rule everything. Everybody's afraid.
H&F: What advice would you give to somebody trying to start a record label in 2015?
CM: I mean, I would just say "Don't do it."

Repair or replace sections of bad structures. The teams work hard and fast.
By chatting with an Orange County fencing supplier, you will quickly understand your alternatives.
You can get any questions answered and get started on a work quote too.

Stop folks from mistakenly getting into building zones or other potentially unsafe spaces.
Help keep your children and dogs in your backyard; keep neighborhood pets out too.
Many homeowners hope that their new fencing delivers extra security and safety to their house and family.
Some are looking for more privacy as well.
Your future builder will want to quick look around your lot and ask you a few questions.
Once they discover what it is you're looking for, they can draw up some choices for you to evaluate.
You have access to any of the best cedar, vinyl, iron and chain link producers and products.
They will assemble any package you like.
A key factor with residential fencing is that it match the look of your home regarding architecture, color and style.
They will suggest materials that are both rugged and attractive.
The best options are low on upkeep and can tolerate the constant SoCal weather.
During the process, they comply with all city building rules and restrictions and make sure all their projects are within compliance.
A commercial project will normally need to have a short visual assessment of the property before they are able to suggest a solution.
Once they speak with the property manager and discover a little about the manager's goals, they can recommend a couple of good choices to look at.
Whatever type of structure you decide to build with, your end result will be solid, durable, not require any servicing and help provide additional security and safety.
Not all of their projects are outdoors.
They design and assemble partitioned zones and rooms for inside warehouses and other commercial buildings.
Companies use these particular sections when they want additional security or protection.
There will be options and choices along the way to consider, such as color and accessories, but to begin with you have a couple of key decisions to get through.
The two biggest options are whether you would like a privacy or a non-privacy fence and then which building materials you want the fence constructed with.
Chain Link – one of the affordable choices. It is typically the fastest and least difficult to construct. May include a zinc coating, so zero rust.
California Chain Link – a hybrid style using chain link fencing, but having lumber posts and wood beams as opposed to the standard metal posts and beams.
Metal – tough, long lasting and reliable. Resistant to weather damage. Lots of layout options and different costs to pick from. Can be ornamental.
Wood Picket – old-fashioned and classic. Often cedar. Not too weatherproof or easy to maintain.
Vinyl Coated Chain Link – chain link covered with a shiny, protecting vinyl coat. It's maintenance free. Regularly offered in colors such as brown and green.
Barbed Wire – great for security situations. It isn't so attractive.
Aluminum – protects against chipping, cracking and peeling, very low maintenance.
Timber Split Rail – timber poles are usually the cheapest option, but doesn't offer many benefits.
Wood – classic charm and traditional looks. Mixes well with nature. Can be terrific for privacy cases. Needs periodic maintenance.
Vinyl – affordable, maintenance free, durable and preserves its shape and color for years. Comes in a variety of colors and accessories. Good for privacy.
Composite – similar to vinyl, but usually is a mix of synthetic PVC and reclaimed wood fibers built to match the appearance of timber and wood. It is resistant to water, cracking, and rotting. Terrific for privacy.
Ornamental Metal or Wrought Iron – a wide choice of colors, designs and accessories including different styles of gates. Great looking but higher priced.
There can be several accessories to think about with your project.
You should look at a few accessories as you are planning your structure.
For example, most fences need some kind of gateway for individuals or vehicles to go through.
The security products you can choose from will primarily be in the area of gates and locks and the electronic controls for those gates and locks.
Some of the accessories that owners put on their fencing are mostly to create a better appearance.
The most common appearance accessory may be finials.
A finial attaches to the top of a post and makes it seem a bit more fancy. Caps are popular too. They lay on top of the post as well, but they also cover the post top and provide protection from rain, snow and sun.
If you have metal fencing, scrolls are commonly connected to pickets or gates to add a little extra style.
If you have a setting that needs a short-term fence or combination of barriers for safety, they are able to work on that for you too.
Building projects often need, or are required to have, a simple fence to keep folks outside the working area.
Many outdoor gatherings need perimeter barriers too.
A local company can quickly put up perimeter fencing, barriers and entry gates to help manage the movement of people at your location.
Setting up fencing, especially making sure that all the sections are straight and level with each other, even on sloping areas, is not very easy.
Experienced contractors and work teams have come across almost all the typical challenges before, so they know what to look out for.
They know the best way to plan your project to remove issues beforehand.
It's possible that you could be a natural at this.
And maybe you have lots of spare time to dedicate to building your fence.
But that probably is not the case.
There is a learning curve to doing this work.
It will take a new builder much longer to build a project than it would take someone who does it all week long.
When the dust is settled and the project is finished, you want to be able to have something that looks great and that you are proud of.
In case you have a section or two that needs repairs or replacing, they should be able to take care of those sections for you.
Let them know what your situation is like. They will provide some advice or get started on it for you.

The 10 items we cover include 6 changes to meeting design and 4 changes to meeting dynamics. I think of them as "changes to make" because almost meetings I've ever attended didn't have them.
We'll take the first half of the session to study changes to meeting design: purpose & deliverable, the right people, agenda as questions, safety, silent work, and suitable space design. We'll do that using a 4-part simulation, which each table (of at least 6 people) will do in parallel. After each part, there'll be a quick shared debrief, and at the end, we'll debrief the 6 changes.
In the second part of the session, we'll look at changes to meeting dynamics: the opening, participation expectations, divergence, and capturing. We'll cover those with interactive teaching and some demonstrations. Throughout this part, the participants' experience in the simulation will be the anchor for learning.
Participants will receive a handout summarizing the 10 changes and the key points about applying them.
NOTE to organizers: I gave this session on July 25 at Agile2016 in Atlanta. The content seems to be in high demand: The 140 attendees had shown up 25 minutes early while dozens more were turned away for exceeding the room's capacity. I have also taught it privately on clients' premises. There's no publicly available video of this session.
I teach facilitation several times a year, especially as part of the course "Grow A Solid Agile Team" (http://www.GrowASolidAgileTeam.info). I lead dozens of experiential training sessions a year.
I have seen a version of this session from Gil and found it really interesting and valuable. I use a lot of these tips and tricks while facilitating for my team.
This is a vital topic for all those that support teams, whether they be Agile or not. Will the participants get a handout with instructions on how to apply the 10 simple changes by the end of the workshop?
Indeed they will. I'd forgotten to say so when I submitted the proposal. I've just updated it accordingly.
Hi Gil, I hope this session gets chosen! It sounds really important and I'm interested in attending. Good luck!
Are you going through an existential crisis? Unsure why you're doing what you're doing?
Does your team, program, department, or even company seem to have forgotten why they do the things they do?
"Who are we?" and "What problem are we trying to solve?"
Knowing the answers to these questions can dramatically change the energy, focus and effectiveness of your group. It can enable you to go from a group that sometimes gets some things done to a group that is truly making a significant difference.
In this session, we'll explore techniques for understanding who we are and what our purpose is. We'll look at how this affects each level in the organization as well as what we need to do as leaders in an organization to enable us to scale without losing our identity.
* This session is a further exploration on my talk last year, "Agile is not Enough: Revolution Over Transformation"
Mathias Eifert - Don't just assume you're creating value – Prove it!
In this session, we explore how Lean Discovery and experimentation can expand the scope of Agile's "inspect and adapt" feedback loops to systematically identify and validate critical assumptions about our product's value proposition. Based on the Lean Startup and Lean UX approach to product development as a series of hypotheses about customers' behaviors and value perceptions, we discuss ways to derive testable assumptions from organizational goals to enable validated learning. Finally, we explore the implications of this approach on project planning and budgeting to support increased business agility.

The Coincidence of Novembers
By Edited by Sandy Nairne
A selection of autobiographical writings by Sir Patrick Nairne (1921 – 2013)
Sferro Hills 1943/2019
I want to renew my thanks to all supporters of The Coincidence of Novembers and to say that editorial and design work on the book is progressing well. I also wanted to share an exploration made this July in Sicily, when Lisa, my wife, and I had the chance to trace the site of the Battle for the Sferro Hills, west from Catania. I have written this short account:
The Sferro Hills, Sicily, 1943/2019
Viewed from the South, Mount Etna rises magnificently above the Sferro Hills, and clouds were shrouding its higher slopes at mid-day on 12 July 2019. When my father, as a young officer with the Seaforth Highlanders, surveyed the scene with his field-glasses 76 years earlier the clouds were probably there too. As he later described:
It was a magnificent scene whose sweeping grandeur and delicate detail a middle-aged great-aunt (on one of her daring Victorian tours) would not have hesitated to express on cheap cartridge paper with misguided water-colours.
He sketched it himself on the afternoon of 30 July 1943, one day ahead of a key battle in the liberation of Sicily. But his purpose was not aesthetic.
And his focus was not the wide stretch of the valley but entirely on the route of attack about to be followed, with the objective of displacing German tanks and troops from the ridge east from the hill marked as Pt224. Etna had no place in his drawing. The operation by night would put particular pressure on him as an Intelligence Officer and his team which, together with the sappers, must make it possible for soldiers to cross the valley and ascend the hills safely, by the most advantageous route.
I took an afternoon off to draw a panorama of the Sferro hills. I lay next to a Middlesex machine-gun post in the thick dry couch-grass on the north-east slope of Mount Turcisi. The landscape in front was at peace … Below me on the right I could see the roof of Massa Turcisi, a huge and squalid farm. A track for vehicles had been found round the south side of Monte Turcisi leading to the farm and down to the dry stony bed of the R.Dittaino where Russell's patrol reckoned Motorized Transport could cross. On the far side of the curling Dittaino wadi a white path twisted past a cottage and ran between gorze bushes and a cornfield to the line of the road and railway stretching together across no mans' land … Across the road the Sferro Hills rose steeply; the grassy slopes mounted deceptively smoothly to Pt.224 at the northern end of the ridge. I turned my glasses on to a farm which stood half-way down the hill from Pt.224. It was called Iazzovecchio and a patrol had reported that the dogs still barked there. Not a sign of life now.
After the rout of Rommel's troops in North Africa, the battle for the Sferro Hills was one of the last key confrontations with the German forces in Sicily before their withdrawal to mainland Italy. The Germans may effectively have been in retreat, but success was critical to prevent the regrouping of German troops or any resurgence of their panzer tank regiment.
There had been victory further south at Francofonte (where Paddy Nairne, a 22-year old veteran from the second battle at El Alamein the previous autumn, was awarded the Military Cross) but then a difficult engagement at Gerbini airfield. He had reason to be concerned about the view across the Dittaino valley. His own account links his sketch of the Sferro Hills with translating the Battle Orders into practical routes for the infantry to cross the valley and the dry river bed of the Dittaino.
In July 2019 Lisa and I were visiting Sicily and wanted to locate his vantage point. Much in the valley has changed: the A19 motorway running West-East parallel to the original road; a post-war cross-valley concrete structure; the recent upgrading of the railway to high-speed; the intensification of agriculture in the bed of the valley, and the addition of olive groves and fruit trees across the hills. Yet much was the same. After parking and walking the rough track up the lower slope of Mount Turcisi, we came to the wreck of the 'squalid farm' he had described as Massa Turcisi.
The farmhouse had been shelled by the German guns. Having been utilised as the base for the attack, this was no surprise. More surprising was the discovery that it had been left as a ruin, and allowed to collapse back into the landscape.
Lisa and I spent some time trying to triangulate the place from where my father had made his drawing. And although we couldn't be certain of the exact spot, I found a place to sit with my sketchbook and draw from an equivalent position.
The battle would involve the Seaforth Highlanders and the Camerons:
It was to be a divisional battle. 152 Brigade were to take the Pte.224 feature and 154 the hill to the west of it. The Brigadier's plan was for 5 Cameron to lead and capture Pt 224 itself; 5th Seaforth would follow the Cameron axis as far as Iazzovecchio farm and then attack north-eastwards to take Angelico farm, the green copse and the right-hand side of the hill.
[However] … as I put the finishing touches to my panorama I thought of the vehicles and supporting weapons. Not so easy for the chaps on their feet carrying picks and shovels, ammunition and rations; but to move the carriers, mortars, machine-guns, anti-tank guns of two battalions, one behind the other, down a rocky mountain, across a shingle river bed and up a steep hill against an enemy whose positions we could only guess and whose strength we did not know appeared a most hazardous business.
On the night of the 31 July the Allied attack was planned to start at 10pm. Paddy Nairne describes how he and others set off from Massa Turcisi an hour ahead to check whether the bushes and banks had been sufficiently levelled by the sappers for the crossing of the dry bed of the river. And then, as quietly as possible, they needed to lay white tape over the cornfield between the river and the level crossing, where the troops would cross both rail line and road before heading up into the hills.
Standing by the rail tracks today - the crossing-keeper's cottage at Caponnelto still stands - one had to work hard to imagine the many fears of that night. So many things could go wrong, and the coordination between artillery fire from the Allied lines with the movement of soldiers towards the enemy was the first of these.
We retraced our steps and went two hundred yards when the barrage began. Monte Turcisi and the ridges right and left suddenly flickered with a hundred dancing flames. Immediately the air above us began to hum as rhythmically, but more harmoniously, as the symphony of seagulls on a seashore. We sniffed cordite and, looking back, saw the line of telegraph poles already obscured by a fog of dust punctured every few seconds by the red flash of a shell burst. We broke into a dog-trot. It was mentally disturbing to move away from the barrage: like turning one's back on a house on fire. By now, I thought, the Camerons will have started.
As troops and weapons traversed the riverbed, crossed the fields, the rail track and the road, they faced the sloping track up towards the ridge of the Sferro Hills. And the schema of the panoramic drawing may have helped my father in checking and supporting the soldiers in their determination to capture the two key farms ahead.
But the night-time equivalent of this view would have had no easily identified landmarks.
… From the Observation Point on Monte Turcisi the track up the slopes to Pt. 224 had shone white in the sunshine. It had never occurred to us that it would be difficult to follow. Under the July starlight our patrols had had no difficulty in using it. But now visibility was down to ten yards. It was even hard to see the red tracer fired for direction by the Bofors. Suddenly A Company was again confronted with a choice of two tracks. One forked right, one left: nobody remembered this track junction. It was then a toss-up and I favoured the left. But we had been bitten once … The column stopped while investigation was made. We could not afford any error in the matter. To follow the Cameron axis to Iazzovecchio was an essential part of the plan.
They got it right. But at times the battle through the night was ferocious as the German troops had every reason to hold onto the Sferro Hills ridge tenaciously.
A misty dawn revealed our job unfinished. The green copse had been a German strong point and the going had not been easy. We could not yet stand among the bushes on the crest and survey the country on the other side of the hill. Scattered snipers prevented us. Nor clearly had the Camerons yet cleared Pt. 224 that overlooked us from the left. As the sun rose men were digging all over the hill.
Fighting through the day yielded better results but it continued through the afternoon.
The next three hours were the wearisome climax to the battle. The German tanks were dropping 'fast balls' all over the hill. Heavier caliber stuff droned overhead to the Sferro road behind us. Panzer Grenadiers assaulted Pt. 224, and one German tank forced its way gallantly to the peak. But six gunner regiments, backed by every anti-aircraft gun on the slopes, put down all they had in support of the Camerons. By two o'clock the Herman Goering battle group had had enough. The surviving tanks were seen driving away. The shelling slackened. By six o'clock it was just another still sunny Sicilian evening. The battle was over.
The losses were not as great as they might have been. And as my father put it, 'With about thirty-five casualties in the Battalion it had been a "cheap" victory for us.' But
… Perhaps this fact made the loss of Jack Davidson [Major J.H.Davidson DSO] seem all the sadder. For he died of his wounds in a dressing station below Monte Turcisi. No finer man ever fought and gave his life with 5th Seaforth.
To the South of Mount Turcisi stands a memorial to the 51st Division, unveiled on 4th November of the same year, 1943. It commemorates the losses from the Division for the whole Sicily campaign: 1,436 from all ranks.
My father's 1943 map has survived, with the various key reference points visible:
He may have kept the map to help when writing his account of the battle while recovering from illness in the Military Hospital in Leeds later that year. He offered his narrative to his fellow officer Alastair Borthwick, to be incorporated into Sans Peur, the history of the 5th Highland Division, which Borthwick published in 1946 (and was reissued as Battalion: a British infantry unit's actions from El Alamein to the Elbe, 1942-1945 in 1994)
Or the map may have been, like his sketch, not just an aid to success in battle, but a momento of survival. My father would count himself lucky. Not everyone was.

258 Bye bye, Baby – Baby, bye bye.
I'm excited to say that I am now, officially, the lightest I've been since T was born. It feels great.
Let me clarify. It's 2.5 years later, I know it's not "baby" weight. But, it is 'baby' weight. After T was born, I struggled and because I was finding everything so difficult, I told myself that I could eat whatever I "needed" to in order to survive the days.
For weeks in a row, I'd eat mostly peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, toast and chips. Comfort food. And, so, while it wasn't, technically, the baby weight, it was weight I gained because I had a baby. Also, because of the c-section (after I had gone through labor), my body was incredibly weak with my core having been, literally, cut open.
Now I can say, the baby weight is all gone.
But, more importantly, that mentality is gone (or, at least is well on its way out). I no longer tell myself that I "deserve" food for any reason. That's not what food is for. Food is for sustenance-it is fuel. Yes, it is enjoyable as well, but I have been teaching myself to keep its primary purpose at the forefront.
When I'm thinking about eating something, what it has to offer me from a nutriotional standpoint is an important factor in the decision. I have been realizing how much eating healthy foods really does make me feel better (I know…big shocker, right?). So, why would I have a chocolate bar, when I could have an apple that, not only tastes great, but will leave me feeling better.
I have also been working on dropping the 'spousal comparison game'. Perhaps you know this one…the commentary that constantly streams in your head that says things like: I am always the one who…I did it last time, why should I?…I wish I could just lie around…and on and on. This approach is living life constantly looking at what's going on in the lane beside me instead of living my own life. I have been trying to focus on my own lane.
While I have been focusing on losing weight in 5 lbs increments, I am excited that I only have 6 lbs to go until I will be the lightest I have been since I first started tracking my weight on LoseIt in December 2012.
That will be a landmark moment for me and I cannot wait to turn that corner.


An 88 strong national network of public fast-chargers is planned by EasyGo.ie.
EasyGo.ie, Ireland's first privately-owned electric vehicle charging network, has unveiled Ireland's most advanced, publicly-available charger at the Four Seasons Hotel in Monaghan.
EasyGo.ie has deployed a Veefil-RT 50kW DC rapid charger from world-leading DC charging technology specialists, Tritium.
The successful installation marks the first deployment of a rapid charger in Ireland on a new site in some time, and marks the first deployment of a 50kW DC public charger on a private network in Ireland. The charger, the most advanced of its kind with the smallest physical footprint in the world, can add 50 kilometres of range to an electric vehicle in just 10 minutes.
EasyGo.ie, founded in 2018 by Chris Kelly and Gerry Cash, also announced plans to install 88 of Tritium's DC rapid chargers by the end of 2020, with at least 20 to be deployed by the end of 2019, leading to the creation of up to 50 new jobs in operations and customer support.
"Sales of new EVs in Ireland have increased by 541 per cent this year alone, so it's clear we'll need more charge points to cater for an increase in EVs on the road," said EasyGo.ie founder, Chris Kelly.
The charger was unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel in Monaghan recently. The ceremony was attended by Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Heather Humphreys.
EasyGo.ie partnered with Tritium to leverage Tritium's expertise in design, deployment and engineering, combined with its superior backend consultation and support capabilities. Tritium has installed chargers in more than 29 countries and its Veefil-RT is considered the most advanced charger of its kind in the world, with the smallest physical footprint – ensuring installation can be undertaken unobtrusively and successfully in areas where real estate or space is at a premium.
"It's been proven time and again the world over that the installation of publicly-available rapid charging options leads to greater electric vehicle uptake," said Kevin Pugh, Business Development Manager for Tritium, UK and Ireland.
"With EasyGo planning to install chargers at an additional 88 sites in two years, you'll start to see a noticeable increase in EV uptake and this will have a major impact in helping Ireland achieve its climate change goals.
Each Veefil-RT DC rapid charger features a modem which can alert EasyGo.ie and EV drivers – using the EasyGo.ie web app (with a native app coming soon) – in real-time if the charger is available or not.

Q: what is for SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version? the code is totally true but during execute i face error
whats wrong with this code ... of course im beginner coder guys but help me please
THE ERROR IS :

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
  corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use
  near '52, v@test.com)VALUES ('niki','52','v@test.com')' at line 1

THE CODE IS :
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
   $Name= $_POST ['Name'];
   $Password = $_POST [ 'Password'];
  $Email= $_POST [ 'Email'];
   $connection = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1','root','','loginapp');
   if($connection){
      echo "Hi Dude , we are conneted";

  $result = mysqli_query($connection , $query);
  if (!$result){
     die('Query FAILED'. mysqli_error($connection));
  }
}else {
   echo "Record Create";
}

A: You must use column names in place of variables in the insert statement.
Insted of
$query = "INSERT INTOusers($Name , $Password, $Email)" ;
 $query .= "VALUES ('$Name','$Password','$Email')";
Use something like this
$query = "INSERT INTOusers(Name , Password, Email)" ;
 $query .= "VALUES ('$Name','$Password','$Email')";
