I am so excited for the work Pauline does on my behalf. I have purchased several e-books to spark muscle growth and tips or tricks to do things differently for effectiveness. This app goes great with the books I've purchased. The major plus is that I can see execution in a video rather looking at the pictures in my books. I absolutely love having the meals written out like they are. The fee to unlock the locked information will be worth it to me. I can not wait for better progress to come. So far, after two weeks my back and delts are happy and showing results. Two of my hardest body parts to deem results. I love my Back Attack and Delts 2 Die 4. Now to properly implement cardio and get ready to hit that stage in 2015. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the competition e-book. Now when a movement is questionable, this will be like having you there for correction.

When Cody Gibson says 'Google me, bitch,' people listen
Talk about your forgettable trips to Vegas. Cody Gibson went out there to fight Manny Gamburyan at UFC 178 , and for about nine-and-a-half minutes of that encounter had things going his way. He was thoroughly outclassing Gamburyan, and raising some eyebrows in the process. Then towards the end of the second round he got caught in a guillotine choke, and with just four seconds left in the round was forced to tap. Next thing he knew Gamburyan was popping bottles with Ronda Rousey and calling out Bryan Caraway and the whole night went topsy-turvy. It was one of the most one-sided fights on record in which the tables turned so abruptly, right up there with Mike Russow 's Hail Mary knockout of Todd Duffee at UFC 114 after being mauled for over 12 minutes. Then, if that weren't enough, three days later he told some dude to "Google me, bitch!" and the roof came flying off the hoosegow. Here's what happened: The California-based Gibson remained in Vegas for a few extra days after UFC 178 to "decompress" and hang out with his best friend, and on his last night there, while at the Gold Spike downtown, somebody video'd an encounter he had with an unlucky patron who got up in his face.

Hawkeye at Heart
Derrick "Caveman" Mehmen has returned to his roots. | Photo: Anthony Geathers/Sherdog.com Derrick Mehmen 's career was at a crossroads in May 2012. He was reeling from a second straight unanimous decision loss, this one to Gian Villante in Strikeforce , and knew something had to change. Mehmen moved from Florida, where he trained with American Top Team , back to his home state of Iowa and has since rattle off six consecutive wins. That extended run of success will culminate with a shot at the vacant World Series of Fighting heavyweight championship when he meets Smealinho Rama at WSOF 14 on Saturday at the Edmonton Expo Centre at Northlands in Edmonton, Alberta. Mehman cites a number of factors in his professional struggles and subsequent move. "I was in a bad relationship, and it was just an awkward time in my life," he told Sherdog.com. "My support system wasn't there like it was in Iowa. I came back to my roots. The people I have around me now on a daily basis are great. I changed the people around me and my outlook on the game.

Morning Report: Ronda Rousey says Cris Cyborg will 'get what she deserves' after embarrassing her sport and country
I have looked at all the problems with our current 10 Point Must System and a lot of people tend to think the current system is fine, the problem is the judges. Although there is a judging problem in fighting, the current system displayed today is the main problem. Even with a good judge there are a lot of fights where one fighter does just enough to win the round and gets scored 10-9, and another fighter does more, maybe not enough to end the fight but enough to take the round and that gets scored 10-9. The problem is those are two completely different rounds yet they both get scored the exact same. The min/min system not only eliminates that problem, but also adds more clarity to the judges for bad decisions. What needs to be understood is a MMA match is a fight until it goes to a decision, than it becomes a sport. And with the min/min system each minute being scored does a very crucial thing. It judges based on what actually happened in the fight, not what could have happened. If fighter X is convincingly winning 4 minutes of the fight and fighter Y rocks his opponent but he survives the round, to most with the current system, that means fighter Y won the round, but that's not exactly true.

Deadlifts & I... a Workout love story!
I threatened myself every time that if I did not do more reps and more weight each week I would lose all I had. That drove me crazy so I kept on moving all this weight. I did 20 sets of deadlifts every week. I did them stiff legged, wide stance, negatives. I started doing those by adding to 360 lbs and just lower the bar. I got someone to help me put it up after each rep or I stripped off all weight and started over each rep for ten... I was dedicated! All this kept on on and on to november 6th 2009. I felt I was too thick around my lower back. I had lots of muscle tissue there. It was hard to pose, it was STUCK. And when I posed I got a big bump on my lower back. I realized it was due to my years of abusing the deadlift instead of using proper technique from day 1.
'Jacare' Coach Proposes Souza-Dan Henderson Bout at Light Heavyweight in February
Josuel Distak has an opponent in mind for pupil Ronaldo Souza. | Photo: Gleidson Venga/Sherdog.com After running up a seven-fight winning streak against the likes of Gegard Mousasi and Yushin Okami , Brazilian middleweight "Jacare" Ronaldo Souza was eyeing a shot at the winner of the title bout between UFC champ Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort . That idea was thrown off course, however, when a hand injury postponed Weidman's title defense to February 2015. Souza is also on the mend from an injury: only a few months after undergoing surgery on his right elbow for cubital tunnel syndrome, the jiu-jitsu ace learned he will require a similar procedure on his left elbow. According to Souza's manager, Gilberto Faria, the fighter will be recovered and ready to fight around January. On Monday, Sherdog.com spoke with Souza coach Josuel Distak, who discussed the plans for Jacare's return. "I believe Jacare already proved that he deserves a shot at the middleweight title," said Distak, "but, once he's recovered from this second elbow surgery in January, it's the same time as Chris and Belfort, so what can we do? I like the idea of putting Jacare in a special light heavyweight fight.

Boxing News: 'Canelo' Alvarez Sidelined with Ankle Injury, Likely to Fight May 2
Saul Alvarez will not compete on Dec. 6 after all. | Photo: Mike Sloan/Sherdog.com Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who signed with HBO on Sept. 29, will not be fighting against Joshua Clottey on Dec. 6 as was originally believed. Alvarez will be sidelined for about six weeks due to a persistent left ankle injury, Golden Boy Promotions announced Monday. The 24-year-old Mexican star, who had been signed to Showtime since gaining worldwide notoriety, was supposed to compete Dec. 6 against Clottey at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The bout was to be broadcast on HBO, a significant part of the agreement given that Alvarez's past three fights took place on pay-per-view. According to an ESPN.com report, Oscar De La Hoya said Alvarez's ankle had been giving him problems since he fought Alfredo Angulo in March. Alvarez's ankle acted up again this past week during a six-mile training run. The ankle reportedly hurt so badly and was so swollen that it required Alvarez to stop in the middle of the workout. With Alvarez likely done for 2014, De La Hoya believes his fighter's his next outing will be May 2.
Cody Gibson 'embarrassed' by street fight video and 'Google me' incident
"I don't know why he had a problem with me. We were out on the porch of this place and they had all these oversized games out there like chess and other games you could play. I don't remember exactly why he had a problem with me, he just started to talk, you know how it is at a bar. I just wish I recognized right away that this guy was looking for trouble and just walked away. I had been drinking, too, so I wasn't thinking clearly, but I definitely was not looking for a fight. Even when he hit me, I was like, 'Let's just take this guy down and maybe I'll submit him.'"
'The Ultimate Fighter 13' Cast Member Shamar Bailey Announces Retirement
Shamar Bailey says it's time to leave MMA to the "young thundercats." | Photo: Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com Shamar Bailey has retired from mixed martial arts following 27 professional fights. The Indianapolis native recently announced his decision via Facebook. His last bout took place on Saturday night, when he lost to Mark Stoddard at Pinnacle Combat 17 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. According to Bailey, the loss was not without controversy. The 32-year-old claims that he was kicked in the head while on the ground during the fight. His opponent continued to throw strikes after the allegedly illegal blow; Bailey says the result will be reviewed by the Iowa commission. "Regardless of what the Iowa commission decides, I think it's time I leave this sport to the young thundercats who are able to dedicate each day, [three] times a day to the craft like I used to," he wrote. "I can no longer put the work in the gym that is required with the other responsibilities/goals on my plate. It's been fun and I look forward to contributing in other ways.
Gaethje-Guillard, Aguilar-Faria Title Fights Added to WSOF 15 in Tampa
Justin Gaethje has a date for his next WSOF title defense. | Photo: Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com In addition to Yushin Okami fighting David Branch for the World Series of Fighting middleweight title at WSOF 15 , the promotion has announced two more title fights for Nov. 15. Lightweight champ Justin Gaethje will defend his title against Melvin Guillard , while women's strawweight champ Jessica Aguilar will fight Kalindra Faria . The card takes place at USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla., and will be televised by NBC Sports Network. Gaethje is coming off a technical knockout victory against Nick Newell in July. The 25-year-old will look to remain undefeated against former a Ultimate Fighting Championship competitor in Guillard. "The Young Assassin" is also coming off a TKO victory at WSOF 11 , his first fight under the WSOF banner. Aguilar has not lost since her last fight for Bellator MMA in 2010, rallying off nine consecutive victories, with wins against the likes of Carla Esparza and Megumi Fuji, twice.

Josh Burkman on UFC Return, 'Bitter' Ben Askren, 'Overblown' Twitter Joke
Josh Burkman is back in the UFC after six years away. | Photo: TJ De Santis/Sherdog.com Josh Burkman 's return to Ultimate Fighting Championship wasn't some long, drawn-out process. In fact, the former World Series of Fighting competitor said it happened over the course of one day. During an interview with Sherdog Radio Network's "Beatdown" on Monday, Burkman explained how he went from one Las Vegas-based promotion to another. "It all kind of happened in a 24-hour period. I just had signed a new contract with WSOF, so I went down to train at Xtreme Couture in Vegas, but when I was down there, they couldn't give me an exact opponent. We thought it was going to be Steve Carl , but he really didn't want to fight me. Seems like anyone that they wanted to fight me wanted WSOF to match their pay to mine," Burkman told Sherdog.com "World Series of Fighting is growing, but with growing comes some pains and shuffling. So, what ended up happening was I wound up having a chance to go back to the UFC. On a Friday morning, [WSOF] called and said they are going to release me.
Wanderlei Silva Vows No Return to the Cage, Will Fight in Court | MMAWeekly.com

Travis Browne: Werdum 'doesn't have what it takes' to dethrone Velasquez at UFC 180

In my opinion, I stood there and took Werdum's best strikes and not once did he have me rocked during the whole fight. Maybe I have a Mark Hunt chin, but his strikes weren't bothering me."

http://www.cagepotato.com/gamblers-beware-michael-bisping-opens-as-a-2-1-underdog-against-luke-rockhold/
This matchup really comes down to whether or not you think Bisping will be outgunned by Rockhold on the feet, as the only guy to successfully keep Bisping on his back for more than a moment has been Tim Kennedy , a far more decorated wrestler than Rockhold (who albeit could not take Rockhold down in their 2012 Strikeforce title fight). The odds likely reflect the fact that Rockhold has shown the ability to finish a fighter with body shots in the past, whereas Bisping found the most resistance against Le in the form of the body shot.

Inwatec strengthens sales team
Our recent success has driven to making some adjustments regarding our staff members and their work tasks in order to support our existing and future customers as well as possible.
This applies in particular to 29-year-old Finn Hahn who is now primarily responsible for our German sales division.
Since the start of his employment with Inwatec in October, Finn Hahn has worked both in product development and in the technical sales team, but in the future he will primarily take responsibility for the sales support in the growing German market.
"It is really exciting because I am working with a lot of small and large customers. It is exciting to see how different companies approach different challenges. Regarding our future product development this is of great value for us when it comes to improve our products," states Finn Hahn who strongly expects that he can help to ensure the close link between sales and customer contact.
"I reckon that in the future, I will still be partly involved in the construction and product development. In the office in Odense, I can come up with interesting input from our customers and when I am with them in the field, I am glad to give them an advantage with my specialist knowledge: I have a focus on what can be done and what cannot. That allows us to come up with a realistic solution more quickly," explains Finn Hahn.
Finn was born and raised in Flensburg in Northern Germany while he did his M.Sc.Eng Product Development & Innovation studies at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense.

Smart machines improve CWS Boco's business
The German laundry group CWS Boco visited Inwatec in Odense, Denmark, in order to find out how the company can improve their processes and make them more effective.
The software is just as important as the rest of the machines when a laundry has to work in an optimal way across different garment lines. This is the opinion of Florian Hünke von Podewils who is a manager of the German laundry group CWS Boco. For this reason, he appreciates the cooperation with Inwatec even though the company is only one of CWS Boco's smaller suppliers.
"Aside from the machines there is another reason why Inwatec is a really exciting company to work with, which is the software implemented in the machines. Data and data transport are two of the most important matters that modern companies have to have under control. Inwatec's solutions works in combination with all the other equipment that is on the market, which makes it extremely easy to connect them to our other systems," says Florian Hünke von Podewils. He adds:
"Inwatec does not only focus on their own machines. They make their machines extra smart because they think about how these can work in combination with other devices when they are set up. At Inwatec, they are not just engineers, they are much more than that."
Moving quickly from thought to action
CWS Boco operate their business in 18 European countries plus China and the 8.000-employee company has inherently the industry's biggest players among their suppliers. Nevertheless, Florian Hünke von Podewils is convinced that there is still room for smaller suppliers. This applies, in particular, if the efficiency of the company's 45 laundries can be improved.
"From our perspective, Inwatec is clearly a business partner instead of just being a regular supplier. They have chosen to focus on niche products, such as mat rollers. These products might not be interesting enough for the major suppliers because they are not expensive enough but they are still important machines for us. This is the reason why Inwatec is doing good and wise business," states Florian Hünke von Podewils.
"It is a good idea to take a look at those solutions that can make the existing lines smarter and faster. This is what we need. Inwatec is a company that can react quicker to demands from outside because of its relatively small size."
The future lies in smarter sorting
According to Florian Hünke von Podewils, the improvement of laundry machines is mandatory for the industry in order to still generate profit, which is becoming harder and harder.
"There are basically two ways to build up a laundry if it has to be economically viable. Either you can automate as much as possible with sorting machines, folding robots and such, or you can take the more manual approach, which means to compress the laundry as much as possible. In the ladder case, you have to get hold of small machines, no conveyor belts or something like that. You will have clothes dryers where the clothes get folded directly next to the machine when they leave it," says the CWS Boco manager before he states that also the compressed solution requires smart machines in order to avoid human error:
"The problem with the small garment lines emerges in the sorting, where a lot of information is necessarily stored in the brains of those people that sort the clothes. It may be that there are 10 different blue T-shirts but maybe there are also five different kinds of material because the shirts stem from different customers, therefore it is important that the staff is trained to sort it always in the right way. If we take the example of a very large laundry where the work is run in three shifts, you have the obvious risk that two talented people work in two shifts, and in the third shift, you have someone who is unfortunate enough to ruin everything."

Supercomputers help to make Inwatec's X-ray machine even smarter
Forgotten pens and needles are among the costliest challenges in the laundry industry worldwide. Pens destroy a lot of laundry while needles pose a major security risk to employees. X-ray technology is one part of the solution, especially when the machines are able to analyze the images on their own.
At Inwatec, a team of programmers is working hard every day to solve problems that one can literally find in the pockets of the clothes that pass through the washing process. One of these people is Tudor Morar, a young Romanian-born robot engineer who joined the team when he invented the basis for the solution that is now running on all of Inwatec's X-ray machines during a single weekend in 2015.
"Normally you would make the X-ray system search for dark spots in the pictures but that doesn't work well enough with plastic parts. Therefore, we have developed our own algorithms. I can't reveal business secrets but I can say that the novelty resides mainly in the fact that we consider the shape of objects instead of their material," says Tudor who gets very excited when speaking about the many challenges of analyzing garments that he and his colleagues face.
"Garments are a big challenge because you won't find two X-ray images that are alike. The seams always look differently and there are all kinds of buttons and zippers one has to take into account. The current technology is really good when it comes to sorting garments such as hospital clothes. However, with heavy fabrics, there comes the challenge. With these, the machines make errors too often. While the machine is supposed to let zippers and large buttons pass, it is expected to reject screws and small nuts," says Tudor.
Massive computing power available
One part of the solution to the problem are better algorithms that are able to spot the foreign elements. Another important aspect is artificial intelligence (AI) that can help the human operators with making the right choices.
"One of the biggest challenges regarding the X-ray sorting is that it cannot look for foreign elements too thoroughly. If we make it too sensitive, clothes with many creases get rejected. On the other hand, if it is not sensitive enough, needles and pens slip through and end up in the washing," explains Tudor Morar who has written all of Inwatec's programs from the scratch and therefore knows how to assist the computers during the process.
"The solution is to teach the computer how to spot foreign objects on their own. Therefore, we started using AI. We have just started to rent some Amazon servers optimized for computations in order to be able to work with larger amounts of data. To give a rough estimate, the processor cores of Amazon's servers are 64-times more powerful than our computers, but it is mainly the graphics processing unit that is much more powerful than anything we had available before," explains the Romanian programmer. He and his team are, however, not even closely challenging the full capacities of these supercomputers.
"Fortunately, we have a great collaboration with our customers who are, of course, also interested in continuously improving our software. That's why we have received plenty of real images from our customers in Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands. I think we are talking about 15,000 images that we have to analyze. Theoretically, the machine could sort one million images a day but there is an important obstacle: We have to sort the images first into two groups, reject or pass, which has to be done manually," says Tudor Morar.
Computers have to learn how to think by themselves
At Inwatec, we have better jobs for the programmers than using their working time for manually feeding computers with images. For this purpose, Tudor Morar and his colleagues embarked upon a very ambitious plan:
"We are using deep learning algorithms that are designed to function like neurons in the human brain. That way, the computer is able to learn by itself without anybody having to take care of it during the whole time," says Tudor who together with programmer Martin Bulin already are in full swing of training his electronic 'students'.
"The AI needs a fairly precise description of what it should look for. The more we can specify it, the better the results will be. Not everything works equally well but there are patterns in the images that can be detected and then be used in the deep learning process in order to improve the results. This is what we are very interested in when teaching the X-ray machines how to work," says Tudor.

Inwatec increases the efficiency of Norway's leading laundries
Nor Tekstil is Norway's dominant player in the laundry industry. The company serve a significant share of Norwegian hotels hospitals and nursing homes, as well as a large number of customers in the offshore industry and other firms in the industrial sector.
The company is constantly evolving to maintain its market leader position. Inwatec came into play as a part of this process. What started as a small relationship has become an important collaboration over time.
"We started with some mat rolling some years ago when Mads Andresen convinced me that it was a good idea and profitable solution. At Nor Tekstil we believe that the machines should have a payback time of less than three years to be a good solution for us. In fact, it was already the case after less than two years, so he was right and we purchased some more of them," says the director of development, Ove Belsvik, who is also co-owner of Nor Tekstil.
Ove Belsvik has just visited Inwatec at Hvidkærvej in Odense to inspect the latest purchase: An X-ray machine to be installed at Nor Tekstil's high-tech laundry in Trondheim for reducing the cost for replacing garments. He already knows that the machine will be a success because Nor Tekstil already has a similar machine in operation.
"Inwatecs X-ray machine solves a problem that the big companies of the laundry industry can't handle on their own, and this problem is that you cannot avoid people making mistakes. A large part of savings of the X-ray machines is because we don't have to buy new fabrics to the same extent as we had to do before. On our machine in Drammen, which has been running for six months now, the system has worked quite smoothly, and that's why we buy machine number two now," says Ove Belsvik and elaborates:
"We can see in the boxes under the machine that the detection rate of the X-ray machine is high and although, of course, some things still slip through sometimes this happens on a completely different level than before. This security makes a big financial difference for us, because when a washing is being destroyed by a pen or something, it's not just the 70-80 kg clothes to be replaced. It also costs a lot of money in the administration, labeling and so on."
Huge development potential
Nor Tekstil operates 16 laundries throughout most of Norway and Ove Belsvik expects that the collaboration between Inwatec and Nor Tekstil has great potential in the long term.
"We work together with some of the world's largest laundry-manufacturers, and we are investing in the most advanced equipment on the market. Inwatec helps to close a large part of the gaps that are still in the processes. Put simply, they solve our problems, and from this perspective, Inwatec is a small but important partner," says Ove Belsvik who focus on weeding out the physically demanding and manpower-intensive processes, because labor is in short supply in Norway.
"For me it's important that I know Mads Andresen as well as I do. We have done many things together, and I know that when we have agreed on that a robot must pick 2,000 pieces of clothing per hour, it can do so when it's delivered. I also know that Inwatec develops specifically for our needs and challenges, which makes it easier to invest in new machinery. It matters to our customers that we are willing to invest, so of course it means also something to us that Inwatec invests in our challenges," says Ove Belsvik, who predicts that there will be a great development in the machinery of the laundry industry in the upcoming years.
"Our assessment is that there is going to happen a lot regarding the machines for washing processes in the next five years. The washing and drying of clothes is well under control, but there is room for much more automation in logistics and packaging."

Truth about Trotsky! New Pamphlet out now!
June 18, 2021 June 18, 2021 Erica Malatesta
This pamphlet hopes to provide evidence of the real nature of Trotsky's role within the Russian Revolution. In the process it attempts to convince those members of Trotskyist groups who sincerely look towards the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a free, just and equal society, that the ideas of Trotsky are flawed. It will attempt to show that Trotsky increasingly resorted to strong-arm methods, to a commitment to a regular army that put him at odds with those who looked towards a defence corps built on the abolition of hierarchy and the election of officers, to the militarisation of labour and one-man management, and advocacy of the crushing of those on the left seen as rivals of the Bolsheviks. In his efforts to regularise the Red Army he looked to the elimination of commanders deemed too independent . He was prepared to use concentration camps, poison gas and firing squads to maintain Bolshevik rule. He looked towards belittling and crushing oppositional currents within the Bolshevik Party. He was the first to use the 'amalgam tactic' later deployed by Stalin to slander these oppositionists. He wanted to transform the trade unions into state organs of control over the working class and wished to introduce Taylorism and differential wages into the workplaces.
Far from being a champion of Soviet democracy, he was "a knight of bureaucracy", and a stern advocate of repression. Far from being an alternative pole to Stalinism, his actions, in consolidating the bureaucracy and the one-Party State, precisely prepared the ground for the growth of Stalinism. He was an architect of the Bolshevik counter-revolution which culminated in the crushing of the Kronstadt Commune, in which Trotsky himself played a significant part.

Meet the Choreographer: Stefanie Batten Bland's 'Look Who's Coming To Dinner'
Choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland (Courtesy Company SBB)
By Tervela Georgieva, Arts Writer
It might be hard to believe that a Zoom link ridden with potential technical difficulties can feel so special, but that's exactly how it felt to join the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company in cyberspace. On Dec. 16, the company showcased a performance of their "Meet the Choreographer" series with choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland. The series allowed the audience to ask questions and access the choreographer's process, an opportunity that isn't usually presented in live performances.
In Conversation With the World
Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company performed Bland's "Look Who's Coming to Dinner" — a timely and curious piece that asked important questions about the rituals and prejudices that accompany human interaction. In her opening remarks about "Look Who's Coming to Dinner," Bland said, "It's about coming back to the table and the importance and the ideas that are surrounding this act of invitation — taking a seat, sitting next to someone who we don't invite, who we decide to exclude from that option, from that participation." For Bland, this exploration of how and why we interact with others the way we do is inevitably an exploration of "how we decide to accept love into our lives."
The COVID-19 pandemic has made discussions about social gathering and inclusion or exclusion of invitations particularly relevant to the current moment, but the complexity of these interactions has been around for years before the pandemic. "Look Who's Coming to Dinner," Bland explained, is in conversation with "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," the 1967 film that brought attention to how colorism and genderism code the way we interact with others. Company dancers demonstrated these coded behaviors in moments when they reached out for a handshake only to be rejected, or when they mimicked beautifying practices like doing their hair and examining their face and legs.
Changing the Meaning of Performance
"Look Who's Coming to Dinner" challenged traditional expectations for stage set-up and props. The tables were not only sitting spaces but also doors and barriers. Props were moved around in front of the audience throughout the performance and there was no curtain to hide moments of transition. There is something about this approach to space that feels makeshift and expansive. The ever-shifting landscape of the stage makes physical space multi-dimensional and generative rather than a static backdrop. The relationship between dancers and physical space was intimate because the two were not separate entities but rather intertwined. Dancers demonstrated their physical closeness to objects in space when they climbed over and under the tables.
The elements that make up performance — stage, props, dancers, music, lighting — begin to blur. What makes a performance? Is it all of these elements? Only some of them? "Look Who's Coming to Dinner" not only complicates notions of what is essential to performance, it compels us to consider how performance might help us better understand the coded behaviors ingrained in each of us, as well as what changes we can make in our future interactions with others. The piece is an open-hearted exploration of human interaction, of the fine line between inclusion and exclusion. It's almost as though the piece has a curiosity about itself, and this quality allows it to perpetuate and live inside the viewer.
"Look Who's Coming to Dinner" will be featured in Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company's upcoming "Fill in the Blank" which runs from Jan. 27-29. To purchase tickets, visit the Salt Lake County Arts website. For live stream and on-demand tickets, visit Ririe-Woodbury's website.

Leading commercial property developer Stoford is to more than double the size of its headquarters after acquiring a Birmingham city centre building.
The award-winning company, which has completed commercial developments of more than 14 million sq ft with a value of over £1 billion, has bought a three-storey Edwardian property on Ludgate Hill, close to St Paul's Square, for an undisclosed sum.
A comprehensive refurbishment project has been designed by Associated Architects, and is being constructed by Benniman Construction, with Stoford planning to move from Lancaster House, Newhall Street, in the spring.
Matt Burgin, joint managing director of Stoford, said: "We've been based at Lancaster House for 15 years, but the continued growth of the business and changing working needs meant we needed a larger office. We wanted to find a new home for the business that we could really make our own.
"Investing in our own building is an important step for the business; it not only demonstrates our commitment to staying in the city, it also enables us to have control of our own asset.

Water Fluoridation "Obsolete" According to Nobel Prize Scientist
version 14 years ago
terrorizethis.org
Nations who still practice it "should feel ashamed of themselves"
On October 4, 2005, two members of the Fluoride Action Network — Michael Connett and Chris Neurath — traveled to Gothenburg, Sweden, to interview Dr. Arvid Carlsson, a famed pharmacologist at Gothenburg University and recent winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine/Physiology.
In the 1970s, Dr. Carlsson was an outspoken opponent of two failed attempts to fluoridate water supplies in Sweden. Thanks in large part to his efforts, Sweden remains fluoridation free. As Carlsson notes, "nobody talks about [fluoridation] anymore" in Sweden.
As with the vast majority of western Europe, Sweden has rejected water fluoridation, but has still experienced the same decline in tooth decay as experienced in heavily fluoridated countries such as the United States.
In New Zealand two thirds of the water supply is fluridated
"Common sense should tell us that if a poison circulating in a child's body can damage the tooth-forming cells, then other harm also is likely."

Early Morning Hike From Loutro To Finikas Bay And Back
After waking up in Loutro, we went to the top of our guesthouse, just to make sure the town was as amazing as we remembered, and that yesterday hadn't been some vivid dream. Clutching mugs of coffee, we watched the morning sun pour in over the cliffs, bathing the bay in a soft, warm light. Yep, Loutro's beauty was an objective reality. This was a perfect beginning to the morning, but we couldn't linger too long: we…

The Villages of Loutro & Chora Sfakion
A splash of white at the bottom of the cliffs, the village of Loutro looks like someone spilled paint out of a bucket, then decided not to clean it up. "Nobody will see it anyway, all the way down there." It's not unreasonable, because without a boat, you never would see Loutro. This tiny, gorgeous village is totally inaccessible by car. Arriving at Loutro isn't the easiest, especially if the weather is bad. We had to scramble,…

Exploring the Beaches Of Chania, On Foot
Because of its Venetian Harbor, Chania doesn't have a beach directly in town. But you don't have to go far to reach some. In fact, you can leave your car at home -- given the city's chaotic parking situation, it's likely you'd need more time to find a spot, than you would to walk the entire distance to any of these beaches! Koum Kapi Beach We'll start toward the east of the city, with tiny Koum Kapi…

Traditional Leather Processing Workshops Near Chania, Crete
Before tourism staked its claim, Chania was leather territory. For years, this had been the place to buy the famous tall, black leather boots of Crete, especially along Stivanandika Street. There's still plenty of leather being sold on this street, but the workshops are gone, replaced by an unbroken lineup of identical tourist shops. If you want to find something more traditional way, you have to leave the Old Quarter. Stivanandika, or Leather Street, was actually the…

The Wuppertal Schwebebahn (Suspension Monorail) — Since 1901
On the last day of my short but intense trip to Germany, I arrived in Wuppertal, to finally fulfill one of my childhood dreams: riding the city's famous suspension monorail, called the Schwebebahn. I recently wrote about the Skytram suspension train at Düsseldorf's airport, but Wuppertal's is on a whole different level. The Schwebebahn is the primary means of public transportation in this medium-sized city of 350,000 people. It runs from east to west, connecting the entire…

Sunset, Seagulls and the Düsseldorf Altstadt
Having spent much of the day riding the suspension train at the Düsseldorf airport, I headed into town, to take a walk through the Altstadt, or Old Town. I had never before visited Düsseldorf, but had heard plenty about this quaint neighborhood, with its traditional houses, its promenade along the Rhine, and abundant bars and bugs which serve the famous local Altbier. I disembarked from the S-Bahn at Sternstraße, and approached the Altstadt from the north. After…

FLORENCE is one of the original cotton FLORENCE SHIRTDRESSES I photographed using my iphone as it was unwrapped after dyeing. The six inch square image was expanded into a supergraphic 53" x 53", then printed on a softly textured 65% wool/35% silk twill challis.
The borders of the scarf are fringed, giving it a feathery appeal, giving wings to the bands of pattern.
Wear it with my bespoke, cotton knit matelasse', oversized indigo LOUISE JACKET (cotton knit matelisse, one-of-a-kind).

Brown bear (U. arctos) in Hallo Bay, Katmai National Park, Alaska
Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)[1]
Brown bear range map
The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a large bear living in much of northern Eurasia and North America. It is smaller than the polar bear, but is the largest carnivore which lives entirely on the land.[2] There are several recognized subspecies.
The brown bear's range has shrunk, but it is still listed as a least concern species by the IUCN. Its total population is about 200,000. As of 2012, this and the American black bear are the only bear species not classified as threatened by the IUCN. However, many of the southern Asian subspecies are highly endangered. The smallest subspecies, the Himalayan brown bear, is critically endangered. It lives in just 2% of its former range, and poachers hunt it for its parts.[3] The Marsican brown bear in central Italy is believed to have a population of just 30 to 40 bears.
The brown bear's main range includes parts of Russia, Central Asia, China, Canada, the United States (mostly Alaska), Scandinavia and the Carpathian region (especially Romania), Anatolia, and Caucasus.[1][4] The brown bear is a national and state animal in several European countries. It is the most widely distributed of all bears. Brown bears are omnivores. Brown bears are apex predators. They eat berries, apples, honey, fish, insects, worms, nuts, grasses, leaves, carrion, rodents and rabbits. Brown bears even eat hoofed animals such as deer, moose, reindeer, bison and sheeps.

Volleyball: Seniors say good-bye
Keisha Raymond, Staff Writer
In front of a full-house at Carnesecca Arena on Sunday afternoon the St. John's women's volleyball team (18-13 overall and 8-8 in the Big East) defeated DePaul (16-13 overall, 4-12 Big East) 3-2 (25-20, 16-25, 25-21, 21-25, 15-6) on Senior Day. It was the Red Storm's first win on Senior Day since Nov. 7, 2010.
Carnesecca was packed with family and friends who came to show love and support for the team and the senior class. Each senior (Karin Palgutova, Yaidy Santiago, Artiana Wynder, Briana Guzman, Shawna-Lei Santos and Deniz Mutlugil) received a plaque and flowers before the start of the matches by St. John's University President Conrado "Bobby" Gempesaw, PhD and the Associate Vice President of Athletics Kathleen Meehan.
"These seniors are great student-athletes and they have worked hard every day for the past four years," head coach Joanne Persico said. "They respect each other and play hard for one another and their school. We will miss them because they can't be replaced."
"I didn't expect to make school history and my biggest lesson at St. John's was how to be a leader,"senior Karin Palgutova said. Palgutova became the all-time career leader in kills this season passing Jackie Ahlers (2002-04.)
Palgutova had 22 kills and 14 digs for her 13th double-double of the season along with five blocks. Fellow senior Santiago collected 12 kills and 10 digs (her fourth double-double of the season plus three service aces tied a career-high).
Sophomore Julia Cast and Freshman Margherita Bianchin both had strong games. Cast collected 10 kills and a .400 attacking percentage and Bianchin did a little bit of everything with 12 kills, six digs, two aces and two blocks.
Senior Shawna-Lei Santos had a fifth double-double in a row with 32 assists (team-high) and 17 digs.
Sophomore Delaney D'Amore finished the game with 10 digs and three assists.
After losing the second set, the Red Storm took the third behind 14 assists from Santos. The third set had six ties, the last one at 20-20 but St. John's went on a 5-1 run to take a 2-1 lead.
DePaul won the fourth set 25-21 to force a fifth and final set. The Blue Demons had a .371 attacking clips while forcing the St. John's to a .243 attacking percentage. With the set tied at 2-2 the Red Storm went on an 8-1 run, which forced DePaul to call a timeout. With the crowd rocking Carnesecca Arena the Red Storm held the Blue Demons to one point the rest of the way to take the match and final set, 15-6.
St. John's finishes the 2015 regular season on the road with two games against Seton Hall and Villanova. The Red Storm play Seton Hall Pirates on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. at Walsh Gym in South Orange, N.J., then the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Jake Nevin Fieldhouse in Villanova, Pa.

Disclosure: Behr provided our family with a gift card for paint and supplies. Everything else was on us. All opinions are 100% my own.
My mom says the love of antiques must skip a generation. It isn't that I don't love antiques, I guess I just don't love them quite as much as my mom and J do. When J heard she was finally getting her own room again (after 2 1/2 years of sharing with her brother) she made her grandma's day by saying she wanted to have a Country themed room with a real quilt.
We waited more than 6 months between the time our offer on our new home was accepted and actually having escrow close – so we had a lot of months to "garage sail" and thrift to prepare for this room. Grandma was also happy to share many of the treasures she has tucked away over the years. J's new room is tiny – barely 10 X 10, but it has so much character, and it is all hers! She loves the little built in window seat. She has room for a twin bed, a dresser, and a little desk. We tried several different arrangements, and this is what we settled on……….
The inspiration for the whole room starts with this beautiful quilt that my Great Great Grandmother Blanche actually made many decades ago. This quilt had been folded up neatly in my mom's closet for nearly 20 years – and now it can be displayed and treasured by a little girl I am sure Great Great Grandma Blanche would be very proud of if she could have met her. We went back and forth for quite a while trying to decide if it was OK to put such an irreplaceable piece of family memorabilia in a child's room. Mom and I finally decided that even though we couldn't replace the quilt, that it would be a shame for such a beautiful quilt to never be used, especially when there is someone who loves it so much.
We pulled a pretty color from the quilt as inspiration for the walls. We again used Behr paint (just like we did in Sister's Minnie Mouse Room, and Brother's Star Wars Room) – it is inexpensive, VOC Free, and covers very well! For those who love the color, you can purchase it at Home Depot. It is called "Lunch Box Yellow". Isn't it a yummy color?
Her new bed was a family friend's that they were getting rid of. Grandma painted it white and 'shabbied' it with a little sand paper – voila – adorable bed – fit for a Country princess & perfect for our budget! Totally free solid wood bed. I purchased her wicker side table at a garage sale for $5. Everything was so perfect for our Country Shabby Chic Room.
I am not quite sure what this desky thing is exactly? It's got drawers, a bookshelf above, and a 'secret' desk. J thinks it is fantastic…. Grandpa found it for free at a job site. It was literally in a dumpster. Grandma painted it and founds some fancy, country chic glass drawer pulls and voila! A practically FREE desk with storage for our country shabby chic room!
J loves that she can display her books (Mommy's old Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, and Nancy Drew along with her Magic Treehouse, American Girl Doll, etc, this kid loves to read!). Her little tchotchkes, autograph book, and piggy bank are also displayed the little glass shelves above – it is a little girl's dream!
Grandpa found the sweet chair discarded also. For real – why are people throwing awesome stuff away?!
Salvaged antique windows made for an awesome purse and dance bag hanger. We purchased the windows for a mere $5. All we really had to do was add some door knobs, and we had a nice, functional piece of art!
One of her favorite areas is her window seat. We simply washed the seat cover that was already there and dressed it up like a dream. The window box cover was pretty easy, we used the window box from the old house that Daddy made years ago and covered it with fabric we had bought at (you guessed it), a garage sale. Grandma made her this pretty corkboard out of a salvaged frame. I found her fancy schmancy chandelier at a garage sale for only $12!
(Yes, my seven year old drew that picture of Ariel). All her American Girl Dolls are Garage Sale finds too. This year is the first year we are saving to get a brand new one in a box for her birthday, so far these dolls have proven that she is totally into them, so Isabelle is likely going to be joining this trio soon.
We decorated the Country Shabby Chic Room walls with some final touches – all found in thrift stores, garage sales, or grandma's Mary Poppin's bag of a closet (for real, stuff just keeps coming out of there).
These pretty plates were a quarter each at a garage sale, we hope it is the start of a collection.
Beautiful decorations – her favorite is her jewelry tree (of course from a Garage Sale) – but she loves it because it displays her favorite necklaces that are a treasured gift from her Great Great Aunt Jewel who recently visited and gave them to her in person.
We have pretty, vintage floral prints and framed hand embroidered handkerchiefs to finish off the look.
This room is just beautiful and J treasures it. We love that we could never replicate it exactly, every piece is a special one of a kind treasure, every piece has a special story. We love that even though it took quite a bit of time, it honored our budget – by collecting things over several months from second hand options and digging through what we already had this little room only cost a couple hundred dollars (and that was mostly in knobs, and things to secure our new finds to the walls!).
A HUGE, HUGE thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for helping us see our vision through! It is just lovely!
Have you blogged about a Country Shabby Chic room? I would love for you to link it in the comment section! I love new fun ideas!
Love it Kate!! Great job!
What a darling room! I love that desky thing (is it a bureau?). My mom has one and I want to steal it from her when we have a bigger home. I also love antique mirrored window frame. So sweet.
thank you! I always wanted a window seat too!
Just lovely! I love mixing old with new. My girl outgrew her entire room set recently, and now we have a pre-teen set-up! Photos are great to hold on to. Here is to great memories in that room. You are amazing.
Thank you so much Stacey! I really like her little room – I can't believe how fast they grow up huh?
What a darling room! I love the shabby chic look, which is so convenient because like you say, people are always discarding the most beautiful items! I turned a weird garbage can lid into a light fixture a couple years ago and get so many compliments on it. Love this post.
thank you! She loves it and I think it is pretty cute too!

Farnek first GCC corporate to add Renault's electric car to fleet
UAE-based total FM company first to bring Renault ZOE into transport fleet; company initially looking to save over 17,000 kilos of carbon emissions over 12 months
Officials from Farnek and Renault present at the Zoe signing ceremony.

UAE-based sustainability leader and total FM company Farnek, has bought its first electric car from Renault as it continues to strive for a more sustainable way of operating its business, especially its growing transportation fleet, currently comprising over 200 vehicles.
Renault's ZOE electric model will help Farnek to reduce its carbon footprint by saving 17 tonnes (78%) of carbon emissions annually, compared with any of the existing saloon cars in its fleet, that travel approximately 72,000 kilometres per year.
In Europe, Renault is a leader in the field of electric mobility with one out of every four EVs sold being a Renault. Globally, one out of every two EV models sold comes out of a Renault-Nissan Alliance factory. Renault is also the only car manufacturer to offer a full range of electric vehicles, with the Twizy (quadricyle), ZOE (hatch), Fluence (sedan) and Kangoo (Utility Van).
"It is part of our strategy to have a more energy efficient fleet in line with the UAE government's recommendation to ensure that 10% of our transportation fleet is electric by 2030. We also wanted to show leadership within the FM sector and inspire other organisations to do the same," said Markus Oberlin, CEO, Farnek.
It is easy to understand why Farnek chose the ZOE model. ZOE, the flagship of Renault's Z.E. (Zero Emissions in use) vehicle range, is an all-electric, multi-award winning, five-door supermini. With the new Z.E.40 battery, ZOE's range is 400 KM (NEDC) – Renault estimates that in real-world driving conditions this equates to around 300 km. ZOE can charge from zero to 80 per cent full in as little as 60 minutes thanks to its patented Chameleon Charger™ that allows it to make the most of the widest range of power supplies and also keep charging times to a minimum. Renault's Range OptimiZer technology ensures ZOE is highly efficient with its heat pump, a bi-modal braking system and Michelin ENERGY E-V tyres all as standard.
Commenting on recent order from Farnek, Marwan Haidamous, Managing Director, Renault Middle East said, "This is a key milestone in the story of electric vehicles in the region. Electric vehicles are forming an ever-greater proportion of transport fleets around the Middle East as organisations aim to reduce their carbon footprints and we are pleased that our products can play a central role in this development.
"ZOE is a real symbol of the Renault's commitment to the electric revolution and since its launch has always excelled at providing motorists with a stylish, comfortable and practical electric car at an affordable price. The 2017 ZOE with the Z.E.40 battery, builds on this success and now delivers the longest range of any mainstream electric vehicle."
Farnek was the first organisation in the GCC to introduce carbon neutral buses in 2010, for which Farnek now offsets 88 tonnes of carbon emissions every year at a cost of almost $3,000 annually. Over the past two years the company has also reduced the amount of carbon emissions per employee transported by almost half (44%) reaching 118 kilos for each member of staff transported.
This latest move by Farnek will strengthen its sustainable credentials further still. Through its dedicated consultancy division, Farnek has always pushed industry boundaries. Most recently it was officially accredited as an approved Energy Services Company (ESCO) by Dubai's Regulatory Supervisory Bureau (RSB).
The scheme was set up to give building owners, developers and managers added confidence when contracting ESCOs. Now they can be secure in the knowledge that the accredited companies have the necessary qualified management and staff and are on a sound financial footing. And in addition, specific to Farnek's case, a successful track record of consulting on many energy saving projects throughout Dubai and the wider UAE.
"The decision to approve Farnek was made by an accreditation board which assessed us according to set criteria, such as experience, capabilities, financial strength, HSE and equipment. We want to help create and support, more cost-effective buildings and a healthier environment," commented Sandrine Le Biavant, Director of Consultancy, Farnek.

Previously I posted a blog regarding an easy integration of TestFlight SDK to Unity project. However, it's far from perfect, since you would have to manually update the generated code whenever the iOS project are rebuilt.
I worked more to find a much better way to handle it, and put the relate code to github so everyone could access it.
Get the TestFlight SDK from official website. Put TestFlight.h & libTestFlight.a under the same folder.
All the TestFlight functionality will be automatically integrated and activated after you build the project for iOS platform. No extra step is needed now!

Thanks for posting. Is this the solution you are still using now? Or do you have a better way?
Do you have any advice on where and how to do this from within your code?
However, this line must be removed before submitting to App Store.
That worked awesome! Thanks a ton.
Do you have the code example on how to integrate the Feedback API of the sdk?
Or do you not use this in your testing?
No. From my experience, the TF Feedback API is not much helpful. Placing a "mail to" button is usually more efficient.
