The first step is to install the DataPublisher (PersonalDataPublisherSetup_xXX.exe). Installation is few clicks, and there is no extra configuration needed in Outlook or SharePoint.
You can specify SharePoint lists separately for each Outlook item type, such as mail, appointment, task, journal or contact. Commonly configured SharePoint lists and mappings act as a template for all Outlook folders and would appear in the 'Publish to' drop down menu in the DataPublisher toolbar or ribbon.
You can also choose SharePoint lists that will only store items published from a specific Outlook folder. This is useful, when you have a custom form defined for that particular Outlook folder, and you want to be able to publish user defined data collected from the custom form to SharePoint.
You have complete control over which data goes to the SharePoint list from Outlook. Through the mapping tool, you can easily choose which fields from the Outlook items are to be published to the SharePoint list, and map fields between Outlook and the SharePoint list. Besides the standard inbuilt fields of the Outlook item type, you can also include any number of user defined fields. This mapping feature also allows you to dynamically create new field of the relevant data type in the SharePoint list, so that you can associate it with an Outlook field.
You can also control and streamline the behavior on how you publish contents from Outlook to SharePoint, with these settings.
When you navigate to any Outlook mail, appointment or contact, the DataPublisher toolbar and ribbon are available in the Outlook explorer and inspector window.
DataPublisher specific ribbon available in the Home tab of the Outlook Explorer window.
The second step is to select the particular Outlook items, and publish to one of the configured SharePoint list. When you do this, relevant metadata will be extracted from each of the selected Outlook items, based on the fields mapping settings and exported to the SharePoint list of your choosing.
Once an Outlook item is successfully published, it will be tagged as being published internally in Outlook and will get an embedded hyper-link in the body field containing the ID of the published item of the SharePoint (eg. SharePoint URL #158). Clicking this would open the particular SharePoint item in your default web browser. At any point, you can change the data in this particular Outlook item and re-publish it again to update the corresponding SharePoint item seamlessly.
If you open the published SharePoint item in your web browser, you will see that the SharePoint fields are populated with the metadata information extracted from the corresponding Outlook item. You will also notice that, attachments, the formatting and style of the body field, the inline images and links are also retained in the SharePoint copy of the item.
Once you have published an Outlook item to a chosen SharePoint list, the published item ID that was generated in the SharePoint list will be tagged to the particular Outlook item for reference. And you will then see additional buttons (i.e., Update, Withdraw and Untag) in the DataPublisher toolbar or ribbon.
Note that, the functionality to make update and revision or withdraw published SharePoint item depends on the settings you had configured under DataPublisher toolbar > Personal Settings > My Options panel. If you had enabled it, you can make revision update or withdraw the published SharePoint item directly from the corresponding Outlook item.
You can use the 'Untag' button to remove all references and links to the published SharePoint item from the Outlook item. This will reset the Outlook item, and you can then re-publish to a different SharePoint list.
If you wish to publish the whole contents of an Outlook folder to SharePoint, you can do so from the DataPublisher toolbar > Publish folder To. All you need to do is, specify a particular SharePoint list.
Doing so, all the items in the current Outlook folder would be processed in batch and publish to the specified SharePoint list. You can monitor the progress of the batch publishing process with the dialog below. You can press 'Cancel' to stop and interrupt the publishing.
Once all the items from the current folder are published successfully to the specified SharePoint list, it will open the SharePoint list in a web browser.
DataPublisher add-in supports real-time monitoring of any number of Outlook folders, to automatically publish incoming mails or newly added appointments, tasks or contact items to a SharePoint list of your choosing, without requiring your intervention. Such automation comes very handy and useful, in maintaining a parallel copy or backup of your current Outlook items in SharePoint.
This spares you from having to do that laborious work of copying and pasting the data from Outlook to SharePoint manually.
Quickly learn how to use Team Publisher to sync and publish Outlook items to SharePoint lists, manually or on the fly.

Cereals Canada assures customers of Canadian wheat that there is no commercial production of genetically modified wheat in Canada.
Earlier today (June 14) the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said it found a handful of GMO wheat plants next to an isolated access road in southern Alberta.
The CFIA has not found any evidence that plants containing the unapproved genetically modified trait have been grown in commercial wheat fields in Canada. This follows a CFIA inspection that actively examined a farmer's adjacent fields, as well as on-farm stored grain.
It is important to note that the Canadian Grain Commission's active monitoring program of Canadian export cargos has found no evidence of this event in Canadian wheat shipments.
There is no evidence that this wheat has entered either food or feed chains.
Cereals Canada notes that there are no genetically modified wheat varieties registered for commercial production in Canada (or any other country).
Cereals Canada says the announcement from the CFIA demonstrates Canada's commitment to full transparency with the Canadian public and domestic and international customers. Canada's commitment to transparency, combined with strong regulatory systems, provides confidence to customers. This confidence is supported by the assessment that this unauthorized event has not been part of commercial production and that there is no evidence of any incidence in commercial shipments.
Cereals Canada retains confidence in Canada's science and risk-based regulatory system. Customers can be assured that the rigorous assessment and monitoring process will continue to deliver the consistent high-quality safe wheat that they have come to expect from Canada.

One in eight households in this region does not have enough money to buy food, a new study shows, confirming that "food insecurity" is a daily challenge for many people.
"Food insecurity is a serious public health problem that impacts physical, mental and social health," says Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the EOHU. "We need to work together to solve the problem, so let's start a conversation about health!"
He refers to a video at youtube.com/watch?v=wEJo1Zt2wuQ
At the same time, the survey provides impetus for a campaign to set a minimum income, or mincome, for all Ontario residents.
Mincome was a success in the 1970s when a pilot project was started in Dauphin, Manitoba.

The advice is to go to Latest Reply at the top of the page, but there is no "latest reply" at the top of the page. I see Home, MyEX, Feed, Conversations, Celebrations & Events, Groups, Expert Advice, Member Directory, Community Help, My Quit Plan and Ask a Question. There is no "latest reply" at the top of the page. The second option, go to the pagination and click last page also does not work. Why not just have a tab saying Make a Pledge. Why not make it easy for someone to make a pledge?
Sorry for the confusion karenjones. Top of the post. Not top of the entire page. See below.
I'll check out the pagination and find out what is going on. Thanks for letting me know.

Netflix shares fall 20% as it misses its subscription forecast
Netflix closed 2021 with about net benefits of 5,116 million dollars, about double than the previous exercise, in a year in which, however, slowed down of new users, with 18 million compared to 37 million in 2020.
The Los Gatos-based company (California, USA) has 221.8 million subscribers to its streaming service around the world, but as competition increases its ability to attract new customers continues to slow, as 2021 recorded the lowest growth in the last three years. In addition, the company lowered forecasts for the first quarter of 2022 and forecast that it will add 2.5 million subscriptions, far from the 3.9 it achieved during the same period in 2021.
letter to investors
"Although the new competition may be affecting our growth a bit marginally, we continue to grow in all countries and regions where new alternative platformsNetflix said in a letter to investors published on Thursday.
However, the explanations they did not convince on Wall Street and the company's shares fell 18% to $412 per share in electronic trading after New York's stock markets closed.
The two factors to which Netflix attributed this slowdown They are the entry of new options in the "streaming" market, such as Disney and Apple, and the lack of premieres in the first half of the year, mostly due to the postponement of filming during the hardest months of the pandemic. The best period of the company occurred between october and december, coinciding with the premiere of global phenomena such as "The Squid Game", "Red Notice", "Don't Look Up" and the latest season of "Money Heist".
8.2 million subscribers
During that last quarter of the year, the strongest for the television market, Netflix added 8.2 million subscribers and obtained a net profit of 607 million dollars compared to the 542 million it registered in the same period of 2020.
The reduction in new registrations has not diminished the company's profitability, since its annual net profits reached 5,116 million dollars, almost double the 2,761 million it earned during 2020. In total, Netflix invoiced in 2021 almost $30 billion, compared to 25,000 million in 2020, and increased investment in 'marketing' (2.5 million) and technology (2.2 million).
In fact, the company took advantage of its strength in the market of the entertainment.
'Squid Game'
"During 2021 we had the most important television program of the year ('Squid Game'), the two strongest film premieres in our history ('Red Notice' and 'Don't Look Up'), and Netflix was the television platform and the studio with the most awards and nominations at the Emmys and the Oscars," he boasted. in your report.
By 2022, the company will redouble its commitment to the international market, as more than 90% of subscribers signing up during 2021 came from outside the US and Canada (UCAN), with particularly strong growth in Japan and India.
The stagnation in the US also does not seem to worry Netflix, which last week announced a general rise in prices in the country, with monthly rates ranging from $9.99 for the basic plan to $19.99 for the 'premium' package.

India's new Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced this month (launched at the chimes of midnight on the 1st of July): this new fiscal regime will inevitably improve trading across the sub continent's burgeoning internal markets. The hospitality sector can expect to benefit in particular which will be further welcome news given the influential Indian Credit Ratings Agency (ICRA) has recently published its annual forecast projecting a marked growth in hotel occupancy revenues of 8% over the coming year; all of which goes a long way to vindicate the strategic importance Red Ribbon has already given its Eco Hotels project as part of the company's dynamic investment programme.
Red Ribbon first invested in Eco Hotels in 2012 and the Project has characteristically delivered both on bottom line profits for investors and for the environment: one of the first of the Eco Hotel's (built in Kochi), for example, has solar tubing that reflects light across the building so as to reduce energy overheads. It's a good example of how Red Ribbon's Mainstream Impact Investment strategies work in practice; building a sustainable, long-term business that works long term as part of its community and the wider society because it is resilient and profitable.
But it is also encouraging to hear that Prime Minister Modi's Government has been thinking laterally about India's hospitality sector as well. Not everybody coming to India from overseas will arrive by air; many will – literally – come from over the seas.
The Ministries of Shipping and Tourism announced last month that they will in future be working together on an Action Plan to promote India as a Cruise Tourism destination and at the same time developing an ecosystem model for the growth of cruise tourism in India. As the first step in the process, a Governmental workshop was also organised last month by the Ministry of Shipping in Delhi so as to discuss an 'Action Plan for Development of Cruise Tourism in India'.
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Shipping, Road Transport and Highways said that Cruise Tourism is one of the fastest growing components of the leisure industry worldwide and can become a major growth driver for the Indian economy through generating new employment opportunities in the sector; and it is difficult to disagree with him because India has the potential to cater for at least seven hundred cruise ships each year; compare that with the one hundred and fifty eight this year so far; and the cruise industry can generate more than 2.5 lakh jobs for ten lakh cruise passengers providing an additional boost to the economy at large.
Cruise terminals are already being developed at five major ports: Mumbai, Goa, Cochin, Mangalore and Chennai; added to which inland waterways will also be developed over the coming years to add to the available infrastructure network: ten inland waterways will be added on the subcontinent by the end of this year alone.

Small to medium engineering businesses are finding an increasing number of ways to pick the pockets of their larger competitors under the shadow of Intelligent Engineering.
I love intelligent engineering, it gives an intense focus to a growing number of important initiatives that are real and happening for ambitious engineering companies. At TECHNIA, it represents the engineering value that my colleagues deliver everyday as they fine tune PLM technologies and processes for clients in all sorts of engineering companies.
Here is something to think about… Did you know that the first iPhone was sold in 2007 and that Apple sold 3 million iPads in the first 80 days of its 2010 release? It strikes me that this wasn't that long ago, especially when you consider the impact those devices have had and are still having today. Also, who knew that we would witness all out carpet cleaner wars as the establishment that was Hoover was assailed by the likes of Dyson and G-Tech.
So what's happened to allow relatively small and previously unknown companies to shine so brightly and so quickly?
Small really is beautiful when you don't have to roll out a global initiative to 1000's of employees. It's not that Innovation has changed a great deal, man has always innovated, but what has changed is the communications that enables a concept, a product or just an idea to have the potential to go global at the point it is published. For engineers that are tasked to conceive, design, develop and make new products it offers an infinite opportunity to join the dots and see better ways of working and sample new technologies instantly.
Customer engagement – Engineering systems that capture useful insights via traditional and on-line services through the Internet and social media.
Knowledge based design, development and manufacturing – Learning systems that dynamically deliver methods (technology & process) to create increasingly better products.
Automated design and analysis systems optimised to deliver cost effective product in the shortest time.
Intellectual Property (IP) – Locate, include or re-evaluate IP wherever it is located including legacy and silo data re-use, and partner added value.
Rapid appraisal of new technology (e.g. Additive Manufacturing, Enterprise PLM, Light-Weighting) against existing IP to create break through or optimised design of new or existing product and components.
Marketing a leading powertrain engineering consultancy and a PLM technology and engineering services provider gives me a poacher and game-keeper perspective. I see the results of using technology intelligently to deliver breakthrough and incremental improvements in next generation powertrain and electric motor technologies and also have an insider track on the value delivered when enterprise PLM technologies are crafted to fit ambitious engineering businesses with aspirational goals.
I am fortunate to witness Intelligent Engineering in action at a relatively small company with truly world leading electric motor and machine technologies and services. Once more I'm engaged on a mission to gather and share examples of how Intelligent Engineering is delivering in as many market sectors as I can. The focal point of which will be the UK Intelligent Engineering Forum (UKIEF), an annual event that will ensure that there is a medium for interested businesses to stay abreast of what's new, how to make it work for them and at the same time share experiences with business owners, engineers and intelligent engineering practitioners.


It's time to look into the oldest, the most arcane and perhaps most persuasive of the secret societies — The Incrementalists.
It is said they control all other secret societies. That they have had a hand in history's most momentous events. That they are in touch with aliens or are themselves secret alien overlords with the power of Immortality, mind reading, telepathy, and E.S.P. — able to keep everyone in the world under constant surveillance. That they are everywhere. Perfectly organized toward one mysterious goal.
What is their secret agenda? And why have they waited through all of human history to reveal themselves now?

As a longtime movie fan and singer, I have been curious about the craft of acting and the production of films and television shows.
A couple of years ago I started serving as a background actor for the TV show Nashville, and later worked on the set of Adriana Trigiani's Big Stone Gap, TVOne's Justice by Any Means, Robin Williams' last film Boulevard, and local student films.
It's been a great learning experience so far, and there is so much more to learn and practice.

This easy origami Father Christmas is a great DIY project for kids over the winter holidays.
You only need one sheet of square paper for this origami Santa. Preferably it will have a red and a white side. If you don't have any of this kind of origami paper, simply just use plain white printer paper and color in the red sections after it's folded.
Children may need some help with this origami model at first, but kids aged 8+ should be able to fold it once and get the hang of it.
It's recommended to use paper that is at least 20 x 20 cm to start with.
Start with your paper with the colored (red) side facing upward.
Fold the paper in half, from bottom to top and from left to right. You will now have a neat cross.
Flip the paper over to the other side (white side). Fold the bottom edge up to meet the horizontal crease and unfold.
Fold the left edge to meet the vertical central crease and unfold.
Fold the bottom right corner up to the top left corner, then unfold.
Rotate the paper so that the diagonal line is vertically centered and flip the paper over to the other side.
Check to make sure that your paper is the same as indicated.
Fold the bottom section up as shown and unfold.
Fold the bottom corner up to the previous crease and unfold.
Fold the bottom corner up to the crease you just made.
Fold the bottom corner up again to the crease you just made.
Flip the bottom section up.
And fold it up once more.
Flip the paper over to the other side, and rotate the paper so that the folded corner is now at the top.
Bring the top left and right sections in towards the middle.
Collapse the top section down and fold well.
Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner.
Fold the top corner down, leaving a small gap between Santa's hat and his beard.
Fold another small section down, creating Santa's mustache.
Fold the bottom right corner up to the top corner.
Fold the bottom left section up to the top corner.
Fold the right edge to the center, folding all of the layers.
Fold the left section the same way.
Fold the bottom corner up a little bit, completing your origami Santa!
You can use some glue to stick the back down, or you can leave it inside a heavy book overnight and it will be flat in the morning.
Now it's time to decorate it. You can use a black pen for his eyes, a pink pen for the nose, a white pen for the buttons and a small ball of wool for the top of Santa's hat.
As you have an origami Santa, why not fold a simple origami tree? You can create a pretty origami Xmas card by sticking a tree and a Santa onto a piece of card that's folded in half.

"Chatting" to a patrol officer (sorry, "data checker") on Tuesday, I questioned him as to how boat location information was entered on his smart gadget. He replied that he selected a checkbox for the appropriate km location. "But where are the km points located ?", I asked. He didn't know. "So you select a km stretch in which a boat is situated, but you don't know where the start and end points of that stretch are?", I queried. He agreed. "And is this information ever checked against gps or similar ?". He wasn't aware of it.
So in essence patrolboy thinks you're in km x but can't prove it, but ticks box x anyway. Hardly convincing evidence of boat locations is it ?

Safe-haven currencies outperformed the majors last week with investors concerned about the lack of progress in the China-US trade negotiations and slowing global growth.
On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters he will not meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping before a crucial March deadline when tariffs on Chinese goods are set to increase automatically. Trump's comments came after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters that the US and China have a "pretty sizable distance to go" before reaching a trade deal.
Over the course of the last week, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the Reserve Bank of Australia all cut their growth forecasts for 2019. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will likely follow suit at Wednesday afternoon's meeting.
The CAD spiked higher on Friday after data from Statistics Canada showed that the Great White North's employment tally surged by 66.8k jobs in January following an increase of 9,300 jobs in December. The result was well ahead of economists' forecasts of a 5k increase in jobs.
The valuation direction for the NZD will be dictated by Wednesday's RBNZ monetary policy statement, with opinions on inflation expectations and a press conference following shortly after. On the international front, the UK GDP report for Q4 is due to be released tonight. US monthly inflation and retail sales reports are due for release in the second half of the week.
Global equity markets closed out the week mixed, - Dow -0.25%, S&P 500 +0.06%, FTSE -0.26%, DAX -1.05%, CAC -0.48%, Nikkei -2.01%, Shanghai Closed. Gold prices were unchanged on Friday, closing out the week at $1,313 an ounce.

Brigitte Reiss-Andersen, make-up artist for The Wall Group.
brigitte reiss-andersen
From Paris, to New York, to the covers of Vogue, Brigitte Reiss-Andersen, is one of the fashion industry's most accomplished makeup artists. She shares her experiences about the industry, raising children in the city, and her love for the Big Apple.
Do you remember when you first arrived in New York?
Oh god, yes. I've been in New York for 25 years, maybe even more than that.
I was working in Paris as a makeup artist, and in Paris the job as a makeup artist in fashion is a calling. You're on call all the time; you work weekends and 18-hour days. I got so sick of it. A friend of mine came to model in the New York shows, and she suggested I come with her to meet some agents. We shared a really crappy room in a disgusting hotel. I went around and met with agents and at the end of the week I had two proposals to come and work here. I couldn't believe it.
Suddenly I found myself on an express train, I only had a few months before I had to move here. When I first arrived I had my apartment address on a piece of paper that my agent had leased. There was no Internet at the time so I had no idea where it was. It was in Alphabet City, and back then it was really rough. I took a cab from the airport and the taxi driver did not want to drive me there. I was wondering if I had made a mistake, but when I went up to my apartment I was overlooking all of downtown New York. It took my breath away. It was very emotional; I thought, "I can be anything here."
A couple of months after I moved here the Tompkins Square riots happened, and of course I was living right there. Our building was targeted. I've never experience anything like it. One afternoon I started seeing all these cops on rooftops, they were everywhere. I called the doorman and asked what was happening, and he said, "Well, they're attacking the building at 2pm." I was like, "What the heck?!" It was crazy, and they went on for a few days.
I was very lucky because I look ethnic, and I think everybody thought I was the help. Anybody who was really white was 'yuppie scum'.
Wow, a real trial by fire!
It made me much tougher. I became a New Yorker.
You have to pick that up very quickly just to get around.
The tourists who just mosey around drive me crazy!
"Everybody can't like you. Go in knowing that. That being said, being polite is so important."
How long had you been working in Paris?
For about six years, I was somewhat established, but I still had a lot to prove.
Was the industry hugely different here then?
Massively different. In France, fashion is a calling. Here, it's business. The big shift in New York was when Anna Wintour moved here. She came a year after me.
I remember before I would look at the magazines and it wasn't really my sensibility. The buzzword for New York fashion at the time was 'commercial'. Everybody came here to make money, the art was elsewhere. Anna Wintour slowly started luring over influential people, and within a few years the playing field was more even in terms of creativity.
Before that I would work here to make money, and go back to Paris to do the shows. Now New York is the place.
I did have to learn about the industry here, everything was very different. Studio etiquette was new, it was very efficient. My first job was the day after I arrived. It started at 9am, and everybody was there on time, which was hugely shocking to me. Nobody is on time in Paris.
The shoot stopped at 6pm, we were done. It was crazy. I suddenly had so much time; I would sit on my suitcase (because I had no furniture) and wonder what to do. A friend of mine gave me a guidebook and I explored. The book kind of saved my life, I found myself doing extraordinary things that I've never done since. It was terrifying and amazing.
What have been some of the highlights of your career since moving to New York?
Well, my first Vogue U.S cover was definitely exciting as well as doing my first NYFW show for Oscar de la Renta. I also did the make up for a client who was going to the Academy Awards. Since she was performing I was actually at the venue for the Oscars. That was pretty incredible. But if I should pick a very New York-centric event, it would have to be doing the makeup for a poster for The Metropolitan Opera. It was absolutely a non-fashion and very challenging job since the subject was the formidable singer Bryn Terfel as the terrifying Wotan in the "Ring". The posters were everywhere in the city and on buses for a while. It was fun.
Wow, that's amazing!
Really feeling like I'd been accepted in the industry here was big for me. As I mentioned when Anna Wintour moved here, all the magazines were reinvented. I was here for all of that, and so many new magazines were also created. It was amazing being part of that community. To work with famous photographers, stylists, models … that is a wonderful feeling. Things have changed slightly now, there are so many international issues of the magazines; there are are many Vogues, Elles, and Cosmopolitans.
The celebrity world is everything now; they are on all the covers so it's exciting being able to work with them. I was lucky to be around and working when the shift happened where celebrities took over the covers from models.
In Paris you would do a celebrity maybe once a year, but now it's a constant frenzy. I believe it all started when In Style Magazine launched. That was the tipping point; they brought in celebrities every month. I never set out to work with celebrities but because I was working with the magazines it naturally happened, and so I segwayed into that.
I would work with someone who would like what I had done, and they would then ask me to do their make-up for movie promos, or music videos. It's a very different world, it opened another market.
Is that the main market you work in now?
It's probably a third celebrity, a third advertising, and a third fashion. I am adamant about keeping a foot in the fashion door, that's how I renew my creativity.
It's interesting to see how the worlds are blurring now. When you used to work on celebrities, the makeup wasn't meant to change them; they needed to be instantly recognizable. Now some of the younger celebrities have a fashion model "look", like Jennifer Lawrence, Dianna Agron or Emma Watson.
Recently I did the cover for the November issue of GQ Magazine with Taylor Swift. It was a fashion shoot, rather than a celebrity shoot. The lines are really blurry now.
Seeing my work on the newsstand is great. Now that my kids are old enough and they get what I'm doing it's fun to have their feedback. They have a 'cool-meter', the things I think are cool are not always cool. [Laughs] I think I've done a great cover, and turns out it's not very cool. Then I'll do a new celebrity that I maybe haven't heard of and they turn out to be super cool. Thanks to them I get a new measure of things.
I am out of the loop; I don't know what the kids are talking about these days!
Every minute there is somebody new, especially with social media. You have to have kids to know these things! Thank god I have them or I would have no idea.
The only thing I don't like is being forced by my daughter to watch YouTube tutorials on Halloween make-up. She's apparently afraid I wouldn't know how to do it!
How did you find it raising children in New York?
It's the best. I picked New York, I moved here for work but also because it offers so much. The suburbs are not for me; I never grew up there. Kids here have everything you could possibly want … great schools, the museums, theatre, opera, and the best culture. It's accessible and it's all here, but it will cost you a fortune. [Laughs]
I noticed prior to having children, when I was working with models, the girls who came from New York were always street smart and clever. I liked that, they were spunky. I hoped that my kids would be like that, and they are.
Going back to makeup, you work with people on such an intimate level …
My father was a teacher of French language for adults in Sweden, and the royal court very quickly snapped him up. He was the French teacher for the crown prince at the time, who is the king today. Being a teacher he was also around their family, and many high level aristocrats who were his students as well. Even though we came from very modest means, I was around these people all the time. My dad told me, "You can't be anyone but who you are", don't think that you are them, and don't think that they are you.
Those lessons I took with me when I started working with celebrities because you're hanging out with them on set during downtime. These people are way wealthier, more famous, more glamorous … you can't compare yourself to these people. You are there to do a job, you're there to make sure they look the best they can and you make that journey as pleasant as possible.
Would that be a piece of advice you would give to people?
What I do is such a weird job because the makeup itself is such a small portion of the whole thing. You manage your career, agency, finance, and politics of the business. I feel sorry for the kids starting now who don't assist established makeup artists, it will be very hard for them to learn those skills.
I do have assistants that I teach. I know from the ones who have left and had their own successful career that it was so important to them.
The other piece of advice is you're only as good as your last job. There is no coming back from that.
Especially being in a freelance industry.
It's very tough, there are zero guarantees. But also 100% freedom! I think it's becoming tougher because there are more and more people willing to compromise on the demands.
So many people are willing to work for free now, how do you stand out?
I'm obviously at a stage in my career where I can't work for free. I'm not going to compete with that. I watch the whole thing and I'm in disbelief, where is it going to go? How are people going to continue making valid and creative work if they can't pay the rent?
The people who work for free will do it often for the social connections, and the social media exposure. They'll work with a celebrity with the understanding that they'll be able to boast about that on social media. I think that's creating a lot of false validation of the talent of these people. It's all going to end very badly. You have to make sure that people can see the difference in your work.
I learned by assisting the genius makeup artist José-Luis in Paris. He created the YSL makeup line. I assisted him for three years. One of his colleagues in the industry asked him, "Why are you dragging this girl around? She's going to take all our jobs." He looked at him and said, "Well, you have to be the best". That has stayed with me always. You have to have the better ideas, you have to have more drive, you have look for new ideas and progress, evolve and be bold. You have to take risks so that you are different and people notice you.
A few New York questions, do you have any favorite spots in the city?
There's one place near here that's such an institution, I'm looking at it terrified that it's going to close. It's called Gracious Home; it's everything for your home. It's all gorgeous, the toilet brushes, the ashtrays, the thing to hold your q-tips. That's the place to splurge. Go look at the bedding and drool!
My other favorite place is Bigelow Pharmacy; it's the oldest pharmacy in New York. They have every French thing that I like; they were way ahead of the curve. You can spend hours in there, it's amazing.
A.I. Friedman is amazing for paper products, notebooks, and portfolios. Everything that's rectangular. [Laughs]
There are two things about New York for me. First, it's a city that challenges you. When you get here you take your own measure, can you take it or not? I've known plenty of people who went back, they couldn't handle it. You don't come here because it's going to be easy, everything is a competition and a challenge, but it also offers plenty of rewards.
Secondly, New York is a place with multiple personalities. There is a chic New York, ethnic New York (I love a Chinatown Dim Sum), cool New York … that's New York for me.

Justice and Criminology
Justice and Criminology is a highly interactive subject and students engage in wide ranging discussion of legal issues and topics. Students learn to articulate and justify an opinion with clarity in both written and spoken form. Students use their knowledge about the complex interactions between people and the legal system, to investigate social, political, economic, environmental and cultural ideas and issues.
There are many social, aesthetic and psychological benefits associated with the study of music. As well as developing creativity, self-expression and artistic growth, studies show that it improves language and mathematical abilities, listening, memory and analytical skills. Music may also foster self-discipline, concentration and fine-motor skills. Read more …
A philosopher once said that "to be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child". History is about change. It looks at peoples over times past and present in different societies, noticing and explaining their attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviours, and interpreting their reactions to the various pressures, conditions and events that induce change.
Geography is the exploration of the earth and its peoples. It integrates the study of the Earth's places, peoples, societies and environments and the relationships between them using inquiry.

Lana MacNaughton of the Women's Moto Exhibit
by Becky Goebel | Dec 11, 2020
Interview by Becky Goebel
I have known Lana MacNaughton longer than any other woman in the motorcycle industry. She is an OG when it comes to showing the world how women can ride bikes. Lana is the creator of the Women's Moto Exhibit – an online and traveling exhibit of photos primarily focused on women riding motorcycles.
When I first got into motorcycles, it was Lanas work that inspired my style, what bikes I liked and who I wanted to meet to ride with. She started posting on Instagram right when the app was created and was one of the first people showcasing women on motorcycles in this degree – professional photos, all shapes, sizes and styles of women and all styles of bikes. She also embodied the vibe of women having real, independent fun on their own bikes. When the first and second Babes Ride Out events were just happening, Lana was there with her camera capturing moments that have stuck in my head ever since. You might recognize this one:
One of Lana's first iconic images
When Lana came to my hometown to have an exhibit I jumped on it. I showed up and helped them sell merchandise at the event and then helped them make a route for all the women to ride around town. By the end of the day, Lana and I had become friends and decided to create an all-women's motorcycle event together – which later became The Dream Roll.

The first day Lana and I met
From there, Lana just grew and grew. She had tons of brands wanting to work with her and she was traveling all over the states shooting women from all walks of life. You may remember the "Highway Runaways" Harley Davidson Campaign where 6 women rode across the states on brand new bikes – that was all produced and shot by her. After that, she created a campaign for Husqvarna in the European Alps. She took me along and we rode 5,000 KMs across Europe over the course of the month shooting photos for Husqvarna, Converse and Levis. To say Lana jumpstarted my career is an understatement.
A photo of us riding in Austria
Since those years, Lana and I have put on 6 years of The Dream Roll. She also started the Paradise Road Show, a dirt bike event From Dawn to Dust, did a few more major campaigns and grew her Instagram following to over 100,000 followers. Lana has more recently got big into the flat tracking and dirt biking realm of motorcycles. She was one of the women chosen for the Build. Train. Race. program produced by Royal Enfield this year – a program for women to build their own flat track bike, learn how to race them and then race them together on a professional track.
Lana has evolved in all sorts of ways over the past 10 years and her career is a lot different now than it ever has been but she's still making moves and riding motorcycles everyday. I asked her some questions to get things in her own words and see where she's at nowadays. Here we go:
Who are you, where do you live and what do you do?
My name is Lanakila Macnaughton or Lana, I live in Boise Idaho and I created the The Women's Moto Exhibit, I'm also the Co-Founder of The Dream Roll and the Co-Founder of Paradise Road Show.
What first got you into motorcycles?
I followed a group of guys on Harleys out to a swimming hole in Oregon in my car and was so envious of them riding motorcycles. The sound, the power, the pack they were riding in to get out there was EXACTLY what I wanted. It was a 90 degree sunny summer day and the freedom they looked like they were experiencing was so authentic and real.
What is Women's Moto Exhibit?
The Women's Moto Exhibit is a traveling photo documentary documenting the new wave of modern female riders. I travel around the world and take photos of the women I meet and share their stories to inspire other men and women to ride.
A photo Lana shot of me when we travelled to California to gather content for the Women's Moto Exhibit
How have things changed for you over the years?
The Women's Moto Exhibit started out of my love of riding and the incredible women I met along the way who also rode. When the exhibit started women riders weren't as common or at least they didn't have as much of a community as they do now. With the popularity of Instagram there is an enormous community that has evolved. When I started doing the exhibit I was so focused on taking rad photos and sharing stories that I kind of got distracted from the thing I love the most – riding motorcycles. I've started to shift back into what makes me most happy which is exploring the country and world on my bike, camera or no camera. I love taking photos and meeting people but I'm more of a recluse and loner so being able to disappear into the woods on my CRF or hit fire roads on my Royal Enfield Himalayan with no cameras or phones is where I am most happy.

You've got into a lot of avenues of motorcycling over the years – what's your favorite?
I love the story and freedom that all avenues of motorcycling gives me. When I first got into riding motorcycles I was really into the Cafe Racer vibe. Then I slowly started to transition to Harleys and then back to a more athletic bike. I like to ride what just seems fun at the moment and I am lucky enough to have amassed a sick collection of bikes that allows me many different categories of riding. I've had vintage CBS', Shovelheads, Sportsters, a Bultaco and my most recent love are Royal Enfields. I was lucky enough to go to India about a year ago and ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan in the Himalayas with Royal Enfield. Most recently I was selected to be apart of the Build. Train. Race Program with Royal Enfield where we get to build a custom INT650 Twin into a flat track bike, train and race! It was a mind-blowing experience and I am so fucking stoked and grateful to get to be a part of such an incredible program. I'm most stoked because it's going to get more women into motorcycle racing and build an even bigger community. This program is going to inspire women who didn't think racing was a possibility for them.
Tell us about the bike you built for the Build Train Race program?
My main goal for the bike was to make it as race-able as possible and not focus so much on paint and aesthetics but more the balance and geometry of the bike. I worked with @seanslides out of Portland to build a safe and race-able bike. We measured, weighed and cleaned up the bike. We added a custom triple clamp from Cognito Moto, new wheels, swapped out the stock fork for an R6 Fork, pro taper flat track bars, removed front break, updated rear break suspension, took all the controls off, lights, breaks, and an updated kill switch.
What's it like racing for the first time?
It's SO FUN. The scary part about racing is just the anticipation. Bree Poland and Royal Enfield North America did a great job of preparing us for the races. We got practice time at the S&S track and 1-1 time with Moto Anatomy which was so helpful. Practice makes perfect. The ladies I was racing against were seasoned racers so I was able to push myself and take their feedback and suggestions and apply it to real time on the track. Getting better is the best drug.

What's your plans with racing and Royal Enfield moving forward?
I plan to race my flat track bike here in Boise! I just found a rad track 30 minutes from my house that is open year round. I plan on racing in Hooligan and really anywhere I can. I just love being out at the track hanging around people and racing and learning. Most of the time I am the only female out at the track which can be intimidating but I quickly get over it. Yesterday I went out to an MX track after not riding a track for 2 years and just threw myself in. The hardest part for me is just starting. Once I am riding I'm on cloud nine.
What are your plans for your career moving forward?
I was laid off from my job because of the pandemic – I was a creative producer at a couple agencies in Portland. I ended up moving to Boise Idaho because all my boyfriend and I wanna do is ride motorcycles and have fun. It's been a great reset for us. We am currently trying to grow and plan The Dream Roll and Paradise Road Show as much as we can since we can't have the event right now. I just got a job here in Boise which is great and I'm kind of just seeing where life takes me.
What's the #1 question you get from women wanting to get into motorcycles? And how do you answer it?
"Was I scared when I started?" The answer is ABSOLUTELY. Motorcycles are fucking dangerous – so being scared and apprehensive and taking the necessary steps to build confidence are so important. Ride within your means and stay safe always. Where the gear, take the classes and ride with people who aren't trying to flex on the road.

Veterans Need The Perfect Assignment
Harold T. was hit by a State vehicle, while working as a motorcycle escort for a funeral. The State employee cut through an opening in the funeral procession as he was riding alongside in order to get to his next traffic control post. Harold broke his knee and foot and tore his rotator cuff in the accident. He later developed excruciating pain in his legs. His orthopedist suspected CRPS, which is a peripheral nerve disorder that usually occurs after a traumatic event. We retained a CRPS specialist who, after much testing, confirmed the diagnosis and placed him in a multi-disciplinary pain management program, which helped him tolerate the chronic, stubborn pain. The insurance defense doctor said Harold did not have CPRS and, essentially, that he was faking, and required neither treatment nor medication. The first offer by the State was $100,000. We settled the case at a second mediation, shortly before trial, for $2,500,000.
Andre M. was badly injured by a motorist who failed to yield while making a left turn. He spent the next 11 months in and out of surgeries and confined to a wheelchair. Andre was immobilized, unable to provide for himself or his family, all while his expenses and staggering medical bills grew exponentially. The Defense tried every trick they could to tarnish the viability of Andre's claim. They even called Andre's mother to try and have her convince Andre to accept their low ball offers. The Defense alleged that his injuries were exaggerated due to pre-existing medical conditions, that he was drunk or high at the time of the accident, and that he was travelling at an excessive speed. None of these allegations had merit, nor were they supported by the evidence. All the defense arguments failed at mediation and the case settled for $2.25 million.
Janusz Z. was broadsided by a construction truck that failed to yield after stopping at a stop sign. Janusz did not have a stop sign and had the right of way. Hit full-on by a large truck, Janusz sustained severe crush injuries to his feet and ankles, a fractured hip, knee, ribs, and a liver laceration. He was in the hospital for 33 days. The severity of his injuries left Janusz permanently disabled–unable to return to work, provide for his family or live the very physical life he had enjoyed before the accident. An insurance company investigator visited Janusz in the Emergency Room to get a statement while he was heavily medicated, shortly after the accident. From the outset, the insurance company took the incredible stance that the accident was Janusz' fault, and that he was grossly exaggerating his injuries. They denied all liability. They hired a private investigator right after the accident, before he even retained legal counsel, who followed and videoed Janusz for a total of 300 days, in an attempt to prove he was not truly injured. We fought tooth and nail to force a timely and fair settlement but ultimately had no choice but to go to trial. In the courtroom Defense counsel painted Janusz as a faker and malingerer but we presented the jury with the best expert witnesses, accident reconstructionist and skilled trial attorneys. Four years after the accident, the jury returned a verdict of $19,466,000 for Janusz.
Lauren B. was the passenger on a motorcycle when a piece of equipment that was not properly secured, fell off of the vehicle driving in front of them. The motorcycle swerved to avoid being struck and passenger Lauren B. was ejected in the subsequent crash. She sustained a fractured ankle and later developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in the lower part of her leg. CRPS is a serious medical condition caused by severe damage to the nerves, an injury that we are very familiar with but that insurance companies often refuse to acknowledge. The pain from CRPS is intense and chronic but not easy to prove. The insurance company refused the claim outright and the adjuster would not even pay for the damage to the motorcycle. We filed suit early on to protect Lauren's interests and upon further investigation found that the vehicle had a known defect. Despite receiving recall notices to fix the problem, repairs were never made even though they were very inexpensive. This discovery along with the extensive damage to Lauren's health and well-being after the accident resulted in a settlement of $3.5 million.
Mario C. was riding his motorcycle in the middle of 3 lanes of a surface street when a car pulled out of a gas station on his right and continued into his lane in front of him without signaling. Mario braked, locked up and went down with his bike landing on his leg. He sustained a broken knee and required surgery. The insurance company adjuster accepted, then denied, liability and did not accept that the degree of damage to Mario's knee was that extensive. The final insurance offer was $137,000. We advised Mario not to settle for that amount and took the case to trial. The jury returned a verdict of $1.2 million. We also collected costs of more than $64,000 and more than $50,000 in additional interest.
James C. was riding his motorcycle on a surface street in the left lane when a pickup truck pulled out of a side street on his right and crossed into his lane, side swiping him and pushing him into oncoming lanes where he crashed at the curb. He suffered multiple orthopedic injuries from which he ultimately recovered, but he also suffered a head injury that continued to be problematic, affecting his daily life in subtle ways. The insurance company disputed the nature and extent of the head injury. The original offer was for $300,000, for the orthopedic injuries. We advised James to reject the offer and retained a neuropsychologist who conducted two days of testing on James. The results confirmed that James had suffered a traumatic brain injury. We also took the depositions of a close co-worker and James' wife, who testified convincingly about the changes in James' personality. The insurance company case settled shortly thereafter for the $1,000,000 policy limits.
Debra H. was riding her motorcycle on HWY 395 when a motorist, distracted by scenery, rear ended her. Debra and her bike were pushed approximately 30 feet before the bike flipped onto its side, then slid an additional 120 feet along the roadway before finally coming to a stop at the shoulder. After interviewing the parties and two witnesses as well as examining the physical evidence–the police officer on the scene concluded that the other motorist was solely at fault. Nevertheless, the insurance company challenged Debra's extensive injuries. We refused to back down and fought for the value of Debra's case. In the end, the insurance company agreed to tender the full $1 million policy limits.
Roberto R. had an accident with a lit-up California Highway Patrol officer. He initially signed with a competitor, who mishandled his Motorcycle Accident Injury Case. They did not file the government claim form correctly, then decided he had no case to pursue, telling Roberto the circumstances were "too complicated" and there was "no value" to his case. This injured rider was a club member and had stopped treating for his injuries for several reasons. He was left hanging with not a lot of time. Luckily, he came to us for a second opinion. It was immediately apparent that the facts had not been properly assessed and the other firm was discouraged at the challenge of proving the law enforcement officer was at fault. Upon our investigation, the officer's own department agreed he was responsible for the accident. We were able to secure our client the proper medical treatment so he was able to fully recover physically. If he not called us and just listened to what our competition said he would have been out a $275,000 settlement and been permanently injured.
Pavlin Z. was riding a 50 cc Honda scooter along the curb in San Francisco and suffered a tibial plateau knee fracture when an SUV in the number one lane changed lanes and cut him off. There was no contact between the scooter and the SUV; Pavlin hit the curb trying to avoid being hit by the SUV. The investigating officer faulted the scooter rider entirely. The SUV driver was named only as a witness in the Traffic Collision Report rather than as an involved party. Further, another witness on the Traffic Collision Report was unfavorable to Pavlin. The insurance company denied the claim outright and we filed suit immediately. In Discovery, we established that the witness did not have a clear view of the accident, and while the SUV passenger saw the scooter, the SUV driver did not. The "facts" of the case were effectively reversed with this new information and the case settled 11 days before trial for $1,400,000.

Economist: US ban on TikTok and UK sanction on Huawei aimed at undermining China
The article was originally published by CINDI LOO at The Sun Daily
PETALING JAYA: The potential ban on TikTok by the US and the exclusion of Huawei from developing 5G technology in the UK over claims of national security concerns represent a long-standing race in technology between China and the West.
Universiti Tun Abdul Razak economist Prof Dr Barjoyai Bardai (pix) said as 5G technology is considered very new, the UK may claim to have its own version of 5G technology, but with extra security put in place to assure users of security.
"The UK and the US are a good team, they are an Anglo-Saxon faction that seeks to undermine China's growth and advanced technology by imposing all these restrictions," he told theSun yesterday.
He also said it was a race towards determining who will be the biggest, fastest and best in the world, and Malaysia would do well to learn how to diplomatically manoeuvre between China, India and the US.
"Malaysia must capitalise on our relationship with China, but also remain friendly with India and also develop a strategy to consult the US."
He also said the recent Asean + 8 trade agreement was hampered by the fact that India pulled out at the last minute. Otherwise, with the signing of the agreement, 50% of the world economy would go to China and India.
LE Global Services Sdn Bhd chief executive officer and cybersecurity consultant Fong Choong Fook questioned the potential ban of TikTok and exclusion of Huawei, saying the US and its allies are engaging in a witchhunt on Chinese technology, going after their software and apps rather than just the hardware.
"If they claim that people using TikTok will have their data sent to the Chinese government for surveillance purposes, what about sharing information on Facebook? Is it also equivalent to sharing data with the US government?"
He said concerns about surveillance and spying is no longer important as people voluntarily send data to Apple and Google, two of the major tech companies in the world, based in the US.
"The US is questioning other countries on the basis of national security, but are we under surveillance of the US government?"
Fong said Huawei recently revealed the source code to its 5G firmware, which is equivalent to giving out the secret recipe of a really good dish.
"For Huawei to openly reveal the source code, can we really think that it is using 5G for surveillance purposes? I have not seen any US firm expose their source code to the world."
He said the crux of the matter is whoever controls the networks, controls the world, adding that with China's rise, the West fear losing control.
"TikTok has been around for a number of years and there is no suspicious activity coming from them," he said.
Meanwhile, a TikTok spokesman said tens of millions of Americans use TikTok for entertainment, inspiration and connection, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We are fully committed to protecting our users' privacy and security. TikTok has an American CEO, a chief information security officer with decades of US military and law enforcement experience, and a growing US team that works diligently to develop a best-in-class security infrastructure.
TikTok US user data is stored in Virginia and Singapore, with strict controls on employee access. These are the facts," the spokesman told theSun yesterday.
Meanwhile, Huawei UK spokesman Edward Brewster said the move would be bad news for anyone in the UK with a mobile phone.
"It threatens to move Britain into the digital slow lane, push up bills and deepen the digital divide. Instead of 'levelling up', the government is levelling down and we urge them to reconsider. We remain confident that the new US restrictions would not have affected the resilience or security of the products we supply to the UK."
He said Huawei's future in the UK has become politicised, and this is about US trade policy, and not security.
"Over the past 20 years, Huawei has focused on building a better connected UK. As a responsible business, we will continue to support our customers."
He added that Huawei will conduct a detailed review of what the announcement means for the business and will work with the UK government to explain how they can continue to contribute to a better connected Britain.

Infiniti Telecommunications make phone systems easy, they're a one-stop communications shop helping businesses choose and install the right phone system for their needs.
Infiniti came to us after being hit by the Penguin penalty in 2013 and losing 50% of their organic traffic. We did an extensive link audit, link removal campaign and disavow as well as building new higher quality links. By the time the next Penguin refresh rolled around in May 2014 we had managed to get them in a position where their traffic recovered to pre-penalty numbers.
For those that don't know how Penguin used to work before it was part the core algorithm, once you were hit by Penguin you couldn't recover your traffic until the next rollout of the update where they reviewed your status and decided whether you should still be affected.
Their organic traffic is now 40% higher than pre-penalty numbers and continuing to grow.


I bet this day is Oppo approved.
I have important things to do today, but I am not doing them. I called my secretary to tell her to tell everyone I am out today.
I have already worked on the Vespa, reattaching the engine to the frame. Next, I need to reattach the exhaust. If that goes well, I might do the replacement body panels that I have. We will see.
In between, I am picking up the Subaru and dropping off the Sunchaser to try to find my oil leak, and to install the OEM hood release cable as I spend money on stock parts no one will ever know about but me. I know there are Oppos that understand my pain at having a Honda hood release cable in my vintage Toyota. I must stand against such things lest society collapse into barbarism.
I am being very irresponsible and am playing hooky. I come here for you to support and encourage my misdeeds.
Toby just walked out here and peed on the bag of cat litter I use for spills. Perhaps this is an omen. I am bad at interpreting signs.

Garages Provide Housing for the Homeless
A rise in the number of homeless people has resulted in a proposal being drafted by the Building Trust that would consider the possibility of converting unused prefabricated garages into an affordable form of housing for them. However, concerns have been raised regarding the fact that this may worsen existing socio-economic conditions in lower-income areas.
Putting Unused Prefabricated Garages to Use
The initial proposal involves converting a set of vacant prefabricated sheds or garages into 11.5 square metre units that would allow for the temporary housing of those who are homeless. Known as the Pop-up HAWSE (Homes through Apprenticeships With Skills for Employment), this program was initially developed by Levitt Bernstein Architects for a competition that was run by the Building Trust. If implemented, the project would see each of the vacant prefabricated garages being converted to bedsitter-style living space at a cost of around £13,000 per unit.
Affordable Open Plan Living
Although the units may seem small at just over 11 square metres each, they would contain the basics such as a bedroom and shower. Dining areas, laundries and kitchen spaces would be communal by placing them between every fifth living unit, making these amenities easy to access for all inhabitants. In some instances, the structures would first be manufactured off-site and then delivered in kit form to the various areas. This would provide the opportunity for future inhabitants of these prefabricated garages to learn a trade.
Potential Concerns Regarding Living Conditions
Despite the fact that there have been concerns regarding the idea of homeless people being provided with prefabricated garages as living structures, the project has already received backing from various homeless charity organisations such as CRASH (Constructing a Future for Homeless People) and the YMCA. These organisations feel that it is far better to provide the homeless with a small living space of their own instead of cramming them into various forms of shared accommodations. While recent government guidelines promote the use of shared housing, the Building Trust feels that this often leads to the development of other socio-economic problems.
A Potential Revamp of Existing Council Estates
While concerns have been raised over the potential problems with projects such as these, Jo McCafferty from Levitt Bernstein states that it can instead be viewed as a regeneration project for existing council estate areas. The program would assist the homeless by providing them with a temporary place to stay for a year or two while being provided with the opportunity to learn skills that could assist with them becoming employed and improving their living standards in the process. Various London boroughs are in consultation with the architects, which means that the first project of this kind could be implemented within the next few months.
At this time, some folks may see this type of project as a way to deal with increasing levels of homelessness in and around London, while others are voicing their concerns over the fact that living conditions such as these may lead to the development of barrack-like living conditions that are often seen in ghettos or semi-abandoned inner city areas. Either way, only time will tell whether the project is a success or not.

The DIV-Net: What's Your Retirement Vision?
A vision is taking the time to think of (anticipate) in detail what the future will bring. For retirement, you would need to consider future earnings, savings and economic issues such as inflation. Then based on what you foresee in the future, you would formulate an action plan to ensure the best possible outcome given your unique circumstances. You can't have a retirement plan until you have a retirement vision. It would seem to me that there are a lot or retirement plans out there but very few retirement visions.
Many people are putting money into various retirement vehicles, but they haven't taken the time to envision how it is all going to come together and ultimately if it will be enough. Unfortunately, a significant number of people are not even taking advantage of tools at their disposal. As noted in a 2013 MarketWatch article, low rates of participation in 401(k) plans have been a major issue from day one. Automatic enrollment has helped improve the participation rate, but many of those automatically enrolled aren't managing their retirement savings.
A portion of my retirement planning includes dividend growth stocks. One of the beauties of dividend investing is it provides you continuous feedback. As the years and decades go by you can see your earnings steadily grow as you invest your money in dividend stocks. When you hit retirement it is not that drastic change that many people fear. You have spent a lifetime preparing for it.

GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exactech, a leading developer and producer of bone and joint restoration products and biologic solutions for extremities, knee and hip, announced today that its research, "Total Knee Arthroplasty Using a Contemporary Computer-Assisted Surgical System: A Review of Resection Alignment on 8,000 Clinical Cases," received the Orthopedic Implant Section Best Poster Award at the 2018 Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, La.
The study was based on a large collection of technical reports on all the total knee arthroplasty cases performed in the entire application history of ExactechGPS®, Exactech's surgeon-controlled computer-assisted surgery for improved reproducibility and efficiency in total joint arthroplasty. The results demonstrated high accuracy and precision in resection alignment with the use of the system by users with varying levels of experience.
In the shoulder and orthopedic implant categories, the Equinoxe® Shoulder System was also recognized as a finalist for two different posters. The research featured a comprehensive outcome study of nearly 1,600 patients, the analysis of which provided surgeons a new threshold to quantify outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty; this work was also recently published in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery.
Exactech was well represented at the meeting with a total of 23 scientific posters and presentations featuring its latest innovations for shoulder, knee, hip and biologics.

Sleeparchive – Trust Review
Sten Listra March 27, 2020
Trust, the official debut album of Sleeparchive on Tresor, continues his streak as one of the premier producers of pitch-black industrial minimalism.
The imprint left by Downwards on techno cannot be overstated. From its humble beginnings in Mick Harris's studio, the terse slabs of industrial techno released by Regis, Surgeon and associates have left an indelible mark on all dark techno that came afterwards. Although the originators have moved on from the original sound to Surgeon's modular experiments and Regis's forays into post-punk and industrial, the sound's intensity still resonates in 2020. Trust presents a contemporary spin on the icy aesthetics of Birmingham techno without falling into the trap of pastiche.
The eight tracks composing Trust follow a typical formula, familiar to fans of Sleeparchive and industrial techno in general. The average runtime of a track is around the four minute mark, the main motif is immediately introduced and the track barrels on with only minimal variation over its course, ending abruptly. This is no-frills techno at its finest. Any individual tune is composed of only a handful of elements, following the monotrack ethos to the core.
"Needle" starts with a few seconds of hiss before erupting into clanking dissonance over a simple kick-hat rhythm, recalling late-90s releases by Regis like "Disease Through Affliction" or "Facilities", while the crashing hi-hats and needling synth stabs of "Peccant" bring to mind the intensity of early Surgeon at his wildest. "Dust" is a claustrophobic number where a fast-paced kick is paired with tense synths, creating a wall of noise that threatens to overwhelm the speakers. The album's closer, "Trust v.1" is a rework of the previously released "Trust v.2", bringing its horror movie strings to the forefront to ratchet up the tension even further.
Not every track on Trust fits the Brummie mold. "Glass" and "Leave" take a more Detroit-influenced approach. The former's sonar blips and bubbling synths bringing a deeper vibe reminiscent of the underwater murk of Terrence Dixon. "Leave" is almost melodic with a crescendoing synth that's the closest the album comes to a moment of lightness. On the other hand, "Concrete" borders on technoise with its drilling synths, off-beat percussion and noisy kick, resulting in a track that only the bravest DJ would consider bringing to the dancefloor. As is Sleeparchive's usual fashion, the album includes two locked grooves, called "Loop 1" and "Loop 2". It's hard to get the full impact of them from a digital release, but both seem like interesting tools in their own right, especially "Loop 2", a surprisingly spacious, bleepy number that could fit into most peak-time sets.
If you aren't already a fan of the brutalist workouts coming from Birmingham, Trust will not change your mind. This is a traditionalist album that makes no attempt to please the ear of the novice or soften its impact. On the other hand, if you are already a fan of the sound, there is a lot to love here. With Trust, Sleeparchive has crafted an album that could be a lost Downwards classic rediscovered in 2020.
Trust is out now as a vinyl-only release on Tresor Records.
