Elevator pitches
Over the years I have changed my "elevator pitch" about what I do for work about a million times.
(TBH, that's partly just the nature of being a solopreneur, the result of catching up my marketing-and-business skills to my passion for coaching. But it's also because I changed my brand 180 degrees from fitness to body image and self-worth coaching.)
Originally, even back when I was training people at the gym, I would say "I help women fall in love with their bodies." But at a certain point I realized that this was a very intimidating statement for a lot of women who were so steeped in body anxiety and resentment that it felt like they would never be able to get to such a positive place with their bodies.
I figured… well the last thing I want is to create one more unrealistic standard for women to feel like they're failing at. Good gracious.
So I flipped it to say "I help women stop hating their bodies." This was more to the point perhaps, but it still sounded impossible to a lot of my clients, plus it gave all the power and focus to the negative state of body hatred, instead of focusing on the world of freedom and acceptance they'd be stepping into.
That's when I started saying "I help women accept their bodies." This landed ok with my audience, and it was squarely within the zeitgeist, reflecting the marketing/media lingo made popular by the body positivity movement.
But still, it felt incomplete and reductive.
Over the years I tried more specific iterations like "I help women find body confidence and self-worth" or "I help women overcome body image and food anxiety," or "I help women stop obsessing over food, fat, and the shape and size of their bodies."
That last one was closest to what I really wanted to say, because the majority of my body image clients are looking to stop thinking about _____ (fill in the blank: food, fat, weight, exercise, beauty, body, appearance, whatever) so much.
Of course, then I started to scrutinize the word "woman" because I actually work with clients of all genders lol.
That one doesn't have an elegant solution yet actually. I've said "womxn" instead of women at times, to include all trans and femme-identified folks, but then what about the non-binary and non-gender-conforming folks? What about trans men who were socialized as female and still carry the burdens and pressures of feeling like it's their job to be human decoration? What about the cis-gender men who constantly email and DM me saying they resonate with my writing, struggle with body image, and wish there was someone doing this work for them?
In an effort to be both accurate and inclusive in my writing, I now bounce around between all these labels and identities when I address or talk about the people my work is for. (2019 is a super weird and exciting time for gender expression and identity, and I look forward to the day when our language catches up with our new values, but for right now it's a bit hodgepodge and imperfect.)
Anyway, the truth is that no amount of clever phrasing can explain in one sentence what I really do with my clients, because everyone's story is unique and life coaching is a co-creation, not a dictatorship.
That said, I thought I'd expand a bit on how I understand my job now, since you know me and my writing, but I don't talk often about my work with private clients.
While I'm an iPEC certified life coach, and therefore qualified to help all kinds of people with all kinds of goals, desires, and blocks, I have come up with my own process and concepts around body image and self-worth which are entirely my own.
In order to do justice to that process, I literally had to write a book. (Still in the final editing phase!)
But as you may have heard me express before, I often start with my clients on topics which are causing immediate stress and pain, like food or body negativity/anxiety/obsession– but we quickly move deep below the surface to talk about the juicy stuff: worthiness, belonging, acceptance, approval, mindset, relationships, sex, gender roles, passion and purpose, fulfillment, and more.
Fun fact: I once had a new client tell me she wanted to work on body confidence without talking about sex, her marriage, or "too much emotional stuff." I offered to refund her money.
Anyway, all of that is to say that how I do what I do looks different from person to person. The topics we end up unpacking in the middle vary dramatically, but the beginning and end points do tend to reflect some seriously predictable patterns.
So with that in mind, what I do is:
I help people who are obsessed with maintaining and controlling their bodies explore why they feel the need to do this… and then start facing their fears and releasing control, so that they have more energy and brainspace to devote to other pursuits in life.
I help people who are tired of endlessly trying to fix or change their bodies identify what they think will be different in their lives once they're "fixed" enough, and then start pursuing that at their current body shape/size.
I help people identify what emotional needs they're trying to get met with their appearance, and then go get those need met in other ways so that the appearance no longer has much power.
I help people who hate their bodies identify what meaning or interpretation they've attached to the way they look, so that they can start changing the meaning/interpretation instead of trying to change the body.
I help people who feel shitty about themselves for whatever reason (weak, stupid, bad, wrong, crazy) stop projecting all that shit onto their bodies, heal their self-image, and build a strong and resilient sense of self-worth… so that no matter how they look, they feel whole, confident, and worthy of respect, happiness, and belonging.
I help people who carry shame, who reject or repress parts of themselves that they believe are unacceptable, unforgivable, or unworthy (what I call "dark material") accept and integrate those parts of themselves so that they can return to a state of wholeness and complete self-acceptance.
I help people move from body-negative to body-neutral while building a strong and resilient sense of self-worth outside of how they look… so that how they look starts to feel like the most boring thing about them.
I'll keep working on my elevator pitch. I have no doubt my understanding of my job will continue to evolve, and in the name of transparency I'll always share with you what I'm learning. 😉
For any of you who are running your own businesses (or want to!) hit reply and give me your most recent job description or elevator pitch! I'm always curious how people understand themselves and their role in the world, no matter what industry they're in, and this kind of thought experiment helps us get super clear while staying tuned into our truth.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and of course if anyone reading this is like "oh shit that's the exact kind of help I need on my body image!" you know where to find me. My client roster is pretty full at the moment, but I will always make time to talk to someone who is ready for help.

With unprecedented access to their hitherto sealed records, this is the first volume of a remarkable official history of ASIO – a revealing and authoritative account of the early years of Australia's national security intelligence service.
For the first time, ASIO has opened its archives to an independent historian. With unfettered access to the records, David Horner tells the real story of Australia's domestic intelligence organisation, from shaky beginnings to the expulsion of Ivan Skripov in 1963.
From the start, ASIO's mission was to catch spies. In the late 1940s, the top secret Venona program revealed details of a Soviet spy ring in Australia, supported by leading Australian communists. David Horner outlines the tactics ASIO used in counterespionage, from embassy bugging to surveillance of local suspects. His research sheds new light on the Petrov Affair, and details incidents and activities that have never been revealed before.
David Horner, AM, is Emeritus Professor of Australian defence history in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University.

Posted August 20, 2013 by Christabel Shaler & filed under Belonging, Case Studies, Tips On Using Tyze.
Jules Andre Brown's generation has been referred to as Generation We, Global Generation, Generation Next, the Net Generation, Millennials, Generation Y, Echo Boomers, Boomerang Generation and the Peter Pan Generation.
Although novelists and sociologists cannot seem to agree on a descriptive title, there is no doubt that this generation has come of age in an era when our planet and people are faced with some serious challenges.
Fortunately, there are emerging leaders finding new ways to capture the flickering minds and imaginations of their generation.
Jules is an example of a young leader, who creates change through everyday actions. One example of this is his facilitation of Tyze networks amongst his peers. It is an act that has become familiar to him through his professional work facilitating real life networks of support at Spectrum Society.
Tyze is a tool that has emerged through years of researching real life networks. It is designed to make it easier and more efficient for people to hold space and provide help. Holding space means when someone is going through something, you provide stable, solid ground for them to be completely where they're at, without judgment, criticism or blame.
1. When we listen to the person we are helping and hear their narrative, there is a tremendous amount of guidance gained.
2. When you are facilitating a network, it is about stepping back from the need to be a hero. It is about sharing the experience of helping. The best way to share this experience is by understanding the unique strengths of each person holding space in your network.
When there is someone needing support, Jules sees it as an opportunity for him and his friends to show up and contribute to their community. The act of setting up a network has become an automatic reflex when faced with a crisis. Perhaps, this reflex is an act that more of us will begin to adopt.
"Being there for someone is a gift. That reciprocity is a togetherness. It is an opportunity" said Jules.
What would the world be like if everyone facing struggles had a Tyze network set up for them?
What would the world be like if we were all contributing to networks by simply helping out whenever possible?

The Arbor School UAE 3 - 15
The Arbor School
, ages 5-11 | Mixed | Day
When this forward-thinking school opened in 2018, it was something radically different for Dubai. Sustainability and the environment are at the heart of an education here: the aim is for children to graduate with real ecological awareness, which will give them a major advantage in such a rapidly changing world.
Located in Al Furjan in the south of Dubai, the school is within easy reach of the Jumeirah Village Triangle, Green Community, Dubai Sport City, Media City and the Marina. The 7.5-acre campus, for Early Years Foundation Stage through to Year 13 (currently the school runs up to Year 9; the secondary school will roll out organically), is unlike anything else in Dubai.
Incredibly, the school has six climate-controlled biodomes that meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Standards. One of the larger domes is a makerspace for D&T and innovation; in another, tropical crops are grown that are picked by students and used in the school kitchen.
The setting is lush, with water features and wooden walkways. Green spaces include a reflection garden, which is used for mindfulness and guided reading lessons; a learning garden dedicated to sustainable agriculture and outdoor learning; and a bio farm in partnership with Emirates Bio Farm, the UAE's largest private organic farm. The school also has a 'Cabinet of Curiosities', a small theatrical space filled with antiques and curios that is seen as a place to inspire pupils' creativity.
New facilities that are yet to be built but have been commissioned include a photography darkroom and a kiln room, and development of the sports provision. As you'd expect, the school encourages pupils to take zero-emission transport options each day – cycling or walking – although there is a standard bus service available.
Previously deputy head at Dubai's well-regarded Kings' School Al Barsha, Brett Girven arrived in 2019 to replace the founding principal. Young, ambitious and energetic – and with qualifications in zoology and environmental science – he is very focused on children's wellbeing. Access to his office is from the reflection garden – a deliberate move so that parents feel that they can knock on his door at any time.
As the school is new, it is not oversubscribed and welcomes registrations up to Year 7. The secondary school is growing year by year.
A project-based curriculum, lessons in biodomes and learning gardens are all part of The Arbor's unique approach to education (at least eight hours a week are spent on cross-curricular projects). Ecology is a critical component of the curriculum, which is delivered with a focus on the UN's 17 sustainable-development goals. There are special programmes that are built around field trips to the deserts, mangrove swamps and heritage sites across the UAE.
The school's founder, Abdullah Al Sharhan, is best known for setting up the Australian College of Kuwait, which was established to meet the needs of those who were being failed by the system – so this is an extremely inclusive school, with excellent SEN provision.
The Arbor has adequate sports facilities: a football pitch, multi-purpose indoor hall, outdoor courts and a swimming pool. The belief here is that sport is as important for pupils' mental health as it is physically.
After-school activities are paid for and include all kinds of sports and dance.
There's a large focus on pastoral care, which is led by Merushka Hansraj, who has 20 years' experience of working with children who have learning difficulties and disabilities. The school also employs a full-time educational psychologist and counsellor. Pupils are encouraged to be caring and compassionate, and we have heard from many parents who say that their child's confidence has improved dramatically after joining The Arbor.
This supportive environment extends to parents too, who are welcome to join wellness classes, reflection yoga and arts classes such as pottery, photography and sculpture. The Friends of Arbor also organises social events. There are 58 nationalities within the school.
The school also creates an important link between the wellbeing of students and the farm-to-table experience. Children are provided with organic, low-carbon-footprint lunches and snacks. During Covid, The Arbor continued to provide a meal service, prepared on site, individually boxed and delivered to pupils in their classrooms.
Although the school hasn't been running long enough to have a year group complete its education all the way through to Year 13, there is a lot to celebrate about The Arbor's unique approach to education, which is embedded in environmental mindfulness and sustainability.

I know as a freelance photographer, that some people have misconceptions about what is photography. They circulate false ideas about what it can be.
I gathered 5 most common myths or misconceptions about photography.
Many times I hear people saying: " It is so easy to take a picture with my phone or camera. " They don't realise that there are many components involved in taking a picture ( more difficult than a selfie ).
It's an art. It requires skill and experience to make a photo appealing. Also, you must understand the lighting, composition, and many variables coming your way.
2- Your camera takes pictures!
How often people are telling you " your camera takes great pictures. " No, it does not. I take great pictures. My camera is a tool that allows me to show my talent and skills to execute my ability.
Even if you have a low-budget camera that doesn't mean that your photos will be bad actually, your photos can be pretty good. The most important piece of the puzzle is the person behind the camera who is the clue.
It is like saying that apples are better than grapefruits. Both cameras are excellent cameras. However, you might be attracted to one or the other, and you prefer one model and it is more suitable for you but not for others. Because each camera has its specificities regarding colours etc. But it is up to us to decide what is the best for our needs.
4- I am too old to learn it.
We are never too old to learn a new skill if you have a desire to do it, just go for it. It might have been something that you wanted to do but you did not have the opportunity to make it happen. This is your day.
As for me, it was a natural talent that I always had. I was around 14 years old when I started with a very basic camera and still doing it today. Also, I love what we can do with the digital camera, and darkroom, you can unleash your wild creativity as much as you want.
5- It is better to take black-and-white pictures.
Some people are saying that black-and-white photos are better to make them more professional. It depends how it has been executed. However, I found some photographs have more impact in black-and-white but it does not mean they are superior.
Actually, it gives us a wider range of opportunities that you can choose from. It is a personal choice. In the end, either you choose black-and-white or colour pictures you can make them beautiful.
In conclusion, if you want to start taking photos don't listen, people who tell you that it is not for you, you say thank and go for it. We are never too old to learn a new skill and will make you happier.
Please, I would love to hear from you and share if you liked it!

Q: Agrupar clases de Tailwind en fichero CSS Estoy intentando agrupar las clases de Tailwind CSS para que el código quede más limpio y evitar estar repitiendo el mismo conjunto de clases una y otra vez.
En la documentación hacen referencia al "@apply" pero como estoy con el CDN no me funciona. ¿Hay alguna forma de agrupar las clases en una hoja de estilos css o en un SASS o Less por ejemplo?
Quiero hacer lo siguiente, dejo un ejemplo de lo que busco:

        Home

        About Us

        Services

        Contact Us

      <button class="md:w-auto w-full bg-transparent text-white font-[Poppins] duration-500 px-6 py-2 hover:bg-white hover:text-gray-800 border border-white border-dotted rounded-lg">

      <button class="button-signin">
        Sign In
      </button>

A: He realizado la misma pregunta en SO Inglés, y ya me han respondido. La cosa es que Tailwind no está pensado para agrupar las clases de por sí. Si que es verdad que te dan la facilidad de ello mediante el "@apply" como menciono en la pregunta pero si se agrupa todo se vuelve otra vez al uso normal del css, es decir: tener que inventar nombres de clase, administrar selectores, etc. Tailwind está ahí para que no tengas que hacer eso.
Os dejo el link de la pregunta con su respuesta y os recomiendo leeros los comentarios de Jakub Kotrs ya que os resolvera la misma duda que tenía yo

Jim Elliott came to the Trinity Valley SBDC in 2011. The office assisted in preparing a loan request package for his brewery startup. Jim had been a school teacher with a hobby of home brewing beer.
Once the projections had been completed, documents collected and the presentation assembled, Jim set about to find a lender. It was a time of tough lending standards. Repeatedly, banks called for higher equity injections. In fact, the City of Kemp donated land in their downtown to use as equity in the deal and as an incentive to locate the business there.
The local bank under-appraised the parcel and Jim returned the land to the Kemp EDC. He continued his search, eventually being rejected by sixteen different banks. SBDC Counselor Pam Holland suggested several other banks and remained in contact with Jim as he went from lender to lender. The SBDC revised cash flow projections based on revisions as he went along.
Jim exhibited the wisdom necessary to many entrepreneurs — 70% of something is worth more than 100% of nothing. He set about using social media to raise the $200,000 he needed to go with his equity position. In the process, he surrendered 30% of his ownership for the necessary funds to get his license and open up in Seven Points, Texas.
Opening in the fall of 2012, he started with a brewmaster and himself. As time passed, Jim has continually reinvested in additional equipment and upgrades to the building he rents with a purchase option. He has added three new employees and with recent developments, will be adding more. The building now has a beer garden and on Saturdays, a local caterer sets up a truck to provide barbeque and live music is offered. The front room has also been upgraded for tastings. Weekend visitors come to the brewery as it grows into the tourist attraction Kemp expected it to be, but Seven Points realized.

Brooks leads Saints past Jets 21-19
The Saints trudged back to the Meadowlands for the second time this season. Ironically enough, they fared better as the road team.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Nov. 27, 2005) -- The Saints trudged back to the Meadowlands for the second time this season. Ironically enough, they fared better as the road team.
Aaron Brooks threw three touchdown passes, and New Orleans broke a six-game losing streak with a 21-19 win over the Jets, sending New York to new depths of despair.
The Saints (3-8) returned to East Rutherford, having played their "home" opener here against the New York Giants after Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area and ruined the Superdome. The Saints lost 27-10, and receiver Joe Horn later said the NFL was making a "mockery" of the team.
"I told them we're 1-1 at home," Saints coach Jim Haslett said. "It's a better feeling tonight."
Brooks made sure they came out with the victory this time, handing the Jets a sixth straight loss of their own. He threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Devery Henderson with 8:32 remaining for the winning score, and finished 17-of-23 for 181 yards.
Mike Nugent made a career-high four field goals for the Jets (2-9), but his 53-yard attempt with 15 seconds left came up short.
"We faced so much adversity this year, that we're always playing an away game," Brooks said. "This was just another place we had to come to to try and get a win."
The Saints had to sweat it out at the end. The Jets got the ball back at their own 46 with 1:37 remaining and drove to the Saints 34. On second-and-11, Brooks Bollinger fumbled the shotgun snap, picked it up and lost 3 yards. He got 3 yards on the next play, but it was a difficult field goal to make for any kicker.
But if the Jets hadn't messed up on second down, they could have gotten closer for Nugent. Snapping problems have been an issue all season, especially since Pete Kendall moved to center after Kevin Mawae got hurt.
"In that situation, I have to get him a ball he can handle. I have no excuse," Kendall said.
Nugent, who connected from 29, 45, 41 and 38 yards, thought his last kick was good.
"When I hit it, I thought it was going to go," Nugent said. "Right before I looked up, it kept sailing and sailing and then at the last second it just didn't get the last few feet."
Though the Jets and Saints are the worst two teams in the league in turnovers, they played a clean game. Bollinger went 19-of-28 for 251 yards, and his pretty 27-yard touchdown pass to Justin McCareins in the third quarter gave the Jets a 16-14 lead. It was the first touchdown for the Jets since the fourth quarter of a loss to San Diego on Nov. 6.
The Jets would have never scored their touchdown without a running into the kicker penalty on Will Smith early in the drive, giving New York a first down. The Jets had another touchdown reversed just before halftime. Bollinger threw a 28-yard pass for Laveranues Coles in the corner of the end zone, but replay officials overturned the reception because Coles bobbled the ball as he was going down.
Coles turned away from reporters and out of the locker room without commenting.
Bollinger ended up throwing for a career high and the most yards for a Jets quarterback since Chad Pennington had 264 in the opener against Kansas City.
"It's just disappointing," Bollinger said. "You just want a win so bad, obviously since I've been starting I haven't won one so I really wanted to help us win a game. To come up short again, it's tough."
The Jets built their lead to 19-14 when Nugent made his 38-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter. For once, New York showed some life on offense. It was the once reliable defense that let the Jets down.
New Orleans promptly answered, driving 81 yards on 11 plays to take the lead for good on Henderson's touchdown reception.
"We're proud of getting a victory," Brooks said. "Breaking a six-game losing streak is the best feeling this team can have at this point."
New York scored in the first quarter for the first time since Week 2 against Miami, when Pennington was still the quarterback. Nugent connected on a 29-yard field goal for an early 3-0 lead. That equals the same amount the Jets scored in their previous two games combined.
The rare New York lead was brief. The Saints took the ensuing possession and moved 70 yards, completing the drive when Brooks tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Donte' Stallworth. The Saints took a 14-6 lead when Brooks added a 15-yard touchdown pass to Zach Hilton.
"We still almost let it slip away," Horn said. "I'm hoping for the game we score 35 and they score 13. Every week is a nail biter to the end and I know our team is better than that."
Haslett said DE Will Smith was dehydrated and WR Az-Zahir Hakim bruised his back.
Jets running back Curtis Martin became the fourth NFL player to rush for 14,000 yards, joining Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. He also became the third player with 3,500 carries, joining Smith and Payton.

Getting into college is often portrayed as a difficult process to navigate, full of guesswork, stacks of forms, and lots of hoping. Images of high school seniors tearing open college admissions envelopes and yelling "I got in!" abound. These images are particularly pervasive because in many states, this is how applying for college works.
That's not how it works at Iowa's public universities.
Many schools, even public universities, have a limited number of enrollment spots available for their cohort of applications. Knowing this, the universities then prune their applicant pools to fit whatever admission standard they want to focus on. Maybe one year they want to boost their average ACT score, so only those with very high ACT marks get in. Maybe the next year they focus on grade point average, so only those with very high GPAs make it. Students apply into this system, largely blind to the process, blind to the standards, and blind to the school's preferred applicant pool.
Then they wait. And wait.
Iowa's public universities use the Regent Admission Index (RAI), a combination of high school grade point average, standardized test scores and the number of college prep classes taken, to determine enrollment eligibility. Score above 245 and you're in. No sweating, no guessing. If an Iowa high school student's RAI score is above 245, all three Regents universities will automatically admit them.
Nearly 94 percent of students at Iowa's public universities are admitted through automatic admission. The rest - those that didn't meet the 245 threshold - go through a holistic review process.
Prior to 2009, the year the RAI took effect, Iowa's public universities would automatically admit students that ranked in the top half of their high school classes. The first RAI formula used class rank as a factor in admissions, but as fewer and fewer high schools elect not to rank their students, the RAI was reformulated without class rank. Currently there are two RAI formulas - one for schools using class rank and one for those that don't. In 2020, the RAI formula with class rank will go away entirely.

Book Michael Watson
Former Commonwealth Middleweight Champion Between 1989-1991 Turned Leading Boxing Speaker
Race & Minority Ethnic
Michael Watson is a world famous boxing speaker, sports personality and a motivational icon who is known more for his extraordinary post-boxing life than his professional career. Having experienced the dangers of the sport, Watson has since become a prolific speaker and disabled sports activist. Prior to beginning his professional career, Watson had already made waves as a youth in the under 71 kg division with a London Schools Title and National Champions Title.
In a professional career that lasted only lasted seven years, Watson achieved an impressive 25 wins from 30 fights, with 85% of matches won by knockout. Most notably, he obtained the British Commonwealth Middleweight Title in 1989 and challenged for a world title on three occasions. Attempting a world title lead Watson to cross paths with the famed Chris Eubank, where the 1991 match ended in defeat for Watson.
Set on reaching his goal, Watson rechallenged Eubank later that year in a rematch that would prove to be near fateful. An unexpected swift uppercut caused Watson to fall back, hitting his head on the ropes and requiring urgent medical attention. Remaining in the ring without assistance for nearly eight minutes lead to an irreversible brain injury. After months in a coma and an inability to walk, speak or hear Watson went on to spend the next few years in a wheelchair.
Determined to overcome the hurdle, Michael Watson undertook years of intense mental and physical therapy in a bid for recovery. Making headlines in 2003, the inspiration completed the London Marathon with Chris Eubank by his side. Walking for two hours every morning, Watson reached the finish line in six days. In recognition of his incredible resilience and bravery, the Queen awarded Watson an MBE in addition to him being named as a torchbearer for the London 2012 Olympic Games. With a wealth of moving and genuine personal experiences to share about his recovery, Michael Watson is unlike any other boxing speaker currently working on the sports speaker circuit. A strength of character that has grounded Watson throughout his career and recover is evident in his motivational speeches as the humble boxer provides a fascinating talk for all in attendance.

Gisin claims second straight downhill win
Source: Agencies | January 25, 2009, Sunday | Print Edition
SWISS Dominique Gisin won her second World Cup downhill in a row with victory at Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy yesterday.
Gisin, who shared her first career downhill victory last weekend in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee with Swede Anja Paerson, finished alone in top spot in a time of one minute 16.98 seconds.
The podium was the same as last week in Austria but in a different order, American Lindsey Vonn coming second, 0.15 seconds adrift and just 0.02 ahead of Paerson.
"To win one race was fantastic but two is unbelievable, especially in Cortina, where the greatest skiers have won," Gisin told reporters.
"Now I want to keep my feet on the ground. I can't compare myself with Anja, who won countless medals in her career, or Lindsey, who won so many races and the World Cup."
The 23-year-old Swiss was fifth in Are but then tore her knee ligaments, an injury which kept her out of competition for several months.
With the world championships in Val d'Isere starting in just over a week, Paerson and Vonn, gold and silver medalists in Are two years ago, should again be strong contenders.
Paerson led for most of the course but slowed down after injuring her knee in a jump.
Winner of the first downhill of the season in Lake Louise, Alberta, Vonn is not as unbeatable in the discipline as she was last year when she bagged five victories but she retained the overall World Cup lead on 856 points.
Germany's Maria Riesch, who finished fifth in Cortina, is second with 810 points ahead of Paerson on 762.
"January is not exactly going according to plans. I'm not disappointed but let's face it, I wanted to win this," Vonn said.
Vonn also holds a 240-226 lead over Gisin in the downhill ranks.
The hunt for World Cup points continues in the Italian resort today with a giant slalom.
In Kitzbuehel, Austria, Didier Defago of Switzerland won a World Cup downhill race for his second victory in eight days.
Defago charged down the famed Streif course in 1 minute, 56.09 seconds yesterday to beat Michael Walchhofer of Austria by 0.17 seconds. The Swiss had also won a World Cup downhill in his native Wengen last Saturday.
Austria's Klaus Kroell, who won Friday's super-G, took third, 0.29 behind.

Q: How to return a String Array My code is supposed to separate a given String and covert the chosen letters into # and separate and concatenate the words with the chosen letter. My problem is with one of the methods (allWordsWith) in my code, it won't allow me to return a String array. (p.s, the codes that run this one are irrelevant, I'm not supposed to edit those).
    import java.util.Arrays;
    import java.util.Scanner;

public class LipogramAnalyzer {
    private String line;
    public LipogramAnalyzer(String text){
         line = text;
    }
    public String mark (char letter){
        String replaceletters = line.replace(letter, '#');
        return replaceletters;
    }
    public String[] allWordsWith (char letter){
        String[] arr = line.split(" ");
        for ( String ss : arr) {
            String ary[] = {ss};
                for(int i = 0; i < ary.length; i++){
                    int numindex = ss.indexOf(letter);
                    if (numindex != -1){
                        String result = ary[i];
                        return result;
                    }
                }
        }
    }
}

A: "It won't allow me to return a String array"
Sure it will. You're attempting to return a String:

String result = ary[i];
return result;

Even though the return type is a string array:
public String[] allWordsWith (char letter){

You need to return an array, as allWordsWith implies you want multiple values.
But the bigger problem is that you are initializing the result array to a single element
String ary[] = {ss};

and thes lengths of arrays can't be changed after initialization. This means that ary.length in this loop
for(int i = 0; i < ary.length; i++){

will always equal one. That is not what you want.
In addition, you are searching the strings in the result array (ary), even though you just created it, meaning it has nothing in it--that is, all the values are null.
If you want a list of all the strings in line that have the letter in it, try
public String[] allWordsWith (char letter){
    String[] asAllWordsInLine = line.split(" ");
    java.util.ArrayList<String> alsAllWordsWithChar = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
    for ( String ss : asAllWordsInLine) {
       if(ss.indexOf(letter) != -1)  {
          alsAllWordsWithChar.add(ss);
          continue;   //No need to check any more letters.
       }
    }
    return  alsAllWordsWithChar.toArray(new String[alsAllWordsWithChar.size()]);
}

I've changed the array to a list, since you can't know how many strings will have letter in it. A list can change size, an array can't. When no strings match, this returns an empty array, which is preferred over null. (more info)
I've also made the variable names more meaningful, and stopped checking a word after it matches a character (with continue, which short-circuits the current for-loop iteration).
Finally, the function is not returning anything until all strings have been analyzed, meaning after the for-loop completes. In your original code the return is inside the loop, meaning only the first string is returned.
A useful testing function:
public static final void main(String[] igno_red)  {
     testLine('b', "abc def ghi cba def ghi");
}
private static final void testLine(char c_letter, String s_line)  {
   System.out.println("Line: \"" + s_line + "\"");
   String[] asAllWordsWith = (new LipogramAnalyzer(s_line)).allWordsWith(c_letter);
   System.out.println("Words with '" + c_letter + "': " + Arrays.toString(asAllWordsWith));
}

A: Return the ary not ary[i]
 for(int i = 0; i < ary.length; i++){
                        int numindex = ss.indexOf(letter);
                        if (numindex != -1){
                            String result = ary[i];
                         /*here*/   return ary;
                        }

A: You can return an array. Try return ary instead of return ary[i].
Also, your function must return something in all cases. In other words, you have to have a return statement after your for loops.

A: You are trying to return a String instead of String[] (String array)
Change the code:
if (numindex != -1) {
    String result = ary[i];
    return result;
}

To:
if (numindex != -1) {
    return new String[]{ary[i]};
}
// afrer first for loop
return arr;

A: public String[] allWordsWith (char letter){
    String[] arr = line.split(" ");
    for ( String ss : arr) {
        String ary[] = {ss};
            for(int i = 0; i < ary.length; i++){
                int numindex = ss.indexOf(letter);
                if (numindex != -1){
                    String result = ary[i];
                    // or here return ary;
                }
            }
    }
    return ary;
}

Return the array

A: If you want to return a complete String-Array at once, I have modified your function (not tested):
public String[] allWordsWith (char letter){
    String[] arr = line.split(" ");
    String[] result = new String[ary.length];
    for ( String ss : arr) {
        String ary[] = {ss};
            for(int i = 0; i < ary.length; i++){
                int numindex = ss.indexOf(letter);
                if (numindex != -1){
                    result[i] = ary[i];
                }
            }
    }
    return result;
}

A: As already said, you're returning a String instead of a String[]. Also note that your code will only ever return a single "word".  I modified your code to add every word that contains your character and add it to a List. At the end of the loop the List is converted to a String[].
public String[] allWordsWith(char letter)
{
    String[] arr = line.split(" ");
    List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
    for (String ss : arr) {
        int numindex = ss.indexOf(letter);
        if (numindex != -1) {
            result.add(ss);
        }
    }
    return result.toArray(new String[result.size()]);
}

In this article, I will be discussing how to become an affiliate marketer without a website. Now, why would anyone want to market without a website? There may be reasons why.
Through direct linking, you can join affiliate programs just like you do when you have your own website, create ads for their products and send those that click on your ads straight to the merchant's site.
Google AdWords does not allow this; however, MSN adCenter and Yahoo Search Marketing do.
Without further delay, I will outline the necessary steps for you to become an affiliate marketer without having to build your own website or domain.
The very first thing that you want to do is perform your keyword research. This will help you complete two very important tasks. Find your niche and the product or services that you are going to target.
You must do the research first, it is imperative. You must be sure that the keywords that you select to target are in a market that has a lot of traffic with low competition. You need to have access to a keyword research tool for this.
I highly recommend the Jaaxy keyword and research tool. Not only will this tool help you target the specific market, it will also help drill down to those keywords that have low competition.
Click here to check out my Jaaxy review. Also, you can try out researching your keywords right here below.
You want to search for keywords that have high traffic and a low QSR. The QSR is the number of websites on the web that are competing for the same keyword. When using Jaaxy, the QSR should be below 100.
You must master your keyword research strategy to be successful. Since you will not be using your own website and be driving traffic directly to the merchant your keywords are the life-blood of your campaign.
I have to say that I prefer affiliate programs like Community Junction and Shareasale because you have access to thousands of products/services run on one platform. Check out my article about affiliate programs for beginners for more information on affiliate programs that are relatively easy to join. And of course, they are free!
You can also search on Google for affiliate programs.
The next step after you have been accepted to an affiliate program would be to start promoting your affiliate products. You will want to start following blogs and forums that are relevant to the products and services that you are promoting.
One thing is very important; don't just start dropping your affiliate link with comments that add no value to the discussion. Chances are that you will get banned for spam.
You will want to be a regular, trusted visitor or member. Trust is usually not built overnight, it takes time.
With this method, you would leave the affiliate link in your signature. If you are a respected member of the forum people will be more inclined to click on your link.
Be sure to review the member policies to be sure that you can leave affiliate links. Some forums do not allow it. However, there are some forums or discussion groups that allow you to leave affiliate links in the signature box. This signature box is displayed each time you write or reply to a post.
To write an eBook you will want to choose a topic that you are comfortable and knowledgeable about. The eBook should have at least 30 pages and ensure that the content is valuable to your readers.
You will insert your affiliate product links into the eBook. You will have to distribute the eBook by whatever means necessary. You can give it away, sell it on eBay for a small charge, or have someone else put it on their website.
It is imperative that your book is helpful and informative or else no one will pay attention to what you are promoting. You must build trust with this eBook.
Another strategy that you can use is to write reviews or ads on classified websites. I'm sure you are familiar with websites like Craigslist. Consider placing ads and reviews for the affiliate products that you're promoting with your affiliate link.
A great strategy that you can use to promote your affiliate products without a website is to create a Facebook profile/page. The awesome thing about this is that you can promote your affiliate products and leave your links right there in your post.
Of course, you will have to have a following of friends for this method to be useful. Thankfully, it is extremely easy to build a friends list exponentially with Facebook. The rest is up to you. You can create informative product reviews, posts, discussions, and instructional videos to promote your products; while leaving your affiliate links along with whatever method of your choosing.
A hub is like a one-page mini website. Here you can talk about any topic of your choosing. The hub site takes care of the hosting and you don't need to know a thing about designing websites or domains. You can make your hub look professional by answering a few questions. Then you can insert reviews, ads, and any other content that you wish.
This is as close as you can get to having a website without having to deal with driving all your own traffic to it. I highly recommend promoting your affiliate programs with the use of this method. To get started with Hubpages you can click here.
Quora is a platform where you people ask questions that you answer; only if it is a topic that you are familiar with. This would be the perfect place to drop your affiliate link.
Here, you are held to a high standard so definitely do not spam here or you will be kicked out of the community. It is important that you become a respected member of this community by answering as many questions as you can.
Build out your profile thoroughly and answer away. After you have over 50 unique visitors and 30k views you are an established member.
I would recommend not posting any links until after this point. Be sure to post high-quality answers and truly try to help others. You can click here to sign up for Quora membership.
Well, that sums up my recommendations on how to become an affiliate marketer without a website. As you can see, most of the above strategies are not those that will happen overnight.
Affiliate marketing is hard work; however, it will pay off. If you have any further questions or comments please leave them below. If you have anything that you would like to add please do.
Thank you for taking the time to read my article and good luck!
Hey this is a really good article, i think it is important to have a website for affiliate marketing even though you dont need one. There is a lot more traffic out there by getting ranked on google and all the other search engines. I dont believe that posting links gets that high of a conversion but you did make a lot of strong points. I have used some of them methods as well.
Hello Justin. I am glad that you enjoyed my article. I agree that your earning potential is a lot higher if you have a website than if you don't have one at all. However, there are some people that do not have a computer, cannot afford one, or find maintaining a website overwhelming, so there are choices for everyone.
Personally, I have 2 domains and I think it is easy to set one up. You can start your own website in under 5 minutes with Siterubix. You can also use Weebly or WordPress which are also very popular. There are many other options available; the skys the limit.
Thanks for taking the time to read my article and leave a comment. Wishing you much success with your business.
I agree that yes it definitely is possible to be an affiliate marketer without a website. It is harder…. but it certainly is possible. People can enter the making money online market at any point that they feel comfortable with. I think it's great that you came up with so many great opportunities for them to explore. I think that writing ebooks and doing guest blogging is a great place to start. I haven't done to much with Quora, but it would be interesting to start there.
Hello Glenys. Yes it is a lot easier to market with a website but possible to do so without. I am glad that you enjoyed the article, I just want to educate people and let them know that there are many different ways to get started without a website. Quora is a great place to start with and without a website. I highly recommend that you try it.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and leave a comment. Best wishes.

The Metropolis Management and Building Acts Amendment Act 1878 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which modified the Metropolis Management Act 1855 and the Metropolitan Building Act 1855. The act was used to improve the regulation of standards in buildings, and introduced measures to protect the safety of theatres and music halls.

Contents
Part I contains a prescription to preserve roadways, and prevent buildings from encroaching on them by fences, walls or walls, and then continues to extend powers of regulation to both new and existing theatres and music halls, including the power to make and amend secondary regulations

Part II set rules about the requirements for foundations of buildings, and strengthens the powers of the Metropolitan Board of Works to deal with infractions.

Part III gives powers for the Board to inspect theatres, and to enter houses and other buildings to inspect them, as well as setting out penalties for non-compliance.

Limitations
The act was used to ensure safety in theatres, but only applied to the 'Metropolis' of London and surrounding areas, and whilst other areas referenced the standards, they were not legally enforceable outside London, as was seen when prosecution failed in the case of the Exeter Theatre Royal fire, due to it being in the regions.

Book Review: 'I Have Demons' by Christopher Adam
'As he noticed her thinning hair, he reflected, I thought that only happened to men.'
Canadian author Christopher Adam was born in Montreal, moved to Budapest, Hungary in the 90s, then returned to Canada for his undergraduate studies in history and English literature at Concordia University, continued graduate studies at Carleton, and earned his PhD in history at the University of Ottawa. He edits two award-winning online publications offering analysis and commentary on current affairs in Europe, works in the non-governmental organization sector, and teaches and writes. He lives in Ottawa.
Christopher states in his Preface, 'I Have Demons shines the spotlight on people who, in different ways, live on the margins — the overlooked elderly woman who gets her thrill pocketing stir sticks and coffee creamer; the jaded parish priest tending to the needs of a man holding a terrible secret; and the small-town Ontario student struggling with the very real possibility that his undergraduate degree in literature is a ticket to poverty…Fractured, often unsatisfying human relationships run through the three stories in this collection. And the human relationship with the Divine is tenuous too. In different ways and taking divergent paths, the characters in each of the stories are in search of redemption. Ottawa is often synonymous with the federal government, policy wonks, political spin doctors, foreign diplomats, as well as the negative stereotypes of dull stability and mediocrity that haunt government towns. For many, Ottawa is mostly Parliament Hill and the tight political world north of Highway 417. The stories in this collection, however, explore the city's peripheries — both geographic and social. The people in these narratives are not affluent and, on the surface, they wield little power. Often, they are forgotten and isolated. Ottawa's landscape lends itself particularly well to exploring the world of the peripheries and of isolation. Beyond the small downtown core of Centretown and the ByWard Market, a handful of adjacent historic neighbourhoods and sprawling suburbia, Ottawa is a vast, sparsely populated land of forests and quiet rural communities on the border between English and French Canada. In these stories, the greenbelt, wilderness and rural life serve various purposes. They are at once places of refuge, sources of redemption, reminders of childhood and innocence, as well as symbols of loneliness and alienation. The people who inhabit or journey to and from these lands in my stories seek both to escape — and at times return — and find comfort.'
Three stories in this impressive volume are 'An Alphine Lodge Special'(A lonely pensioner spends a Thanksgiving she'll never forget at a local diner, served by an acerbic waitress who has finally found her ticket out of there), 'I Have Demons' (A jaded young priest of a dwindling parish faces a man with a terrible secret), and 'David and Franco' (A recent university graduate from small-town Ontario leaves home with nothing to his name but the hope of a new life in the city and places all his trust in a charismatic yet dubious life coach). Each story is well-conceived and writing with eloquent lyrical prose. Christopher allows the conversational language to match his characters – raw at times but appropriately so, and his characters are so convincingly and thoroughly sculpted that with each persona there is a hint of ourselves to consider. Christopher Adam is a master writer and he will be an author to follow closely. Highly recommended.

We present a Molecular-Thermodynamic theory to describe adsorption isotherms based on the 2D SAFT-VR approach (1,2) applied to the Mie potential. Adsorption is represented in terms of two different subsystems, the bulk and adsorbed phases, each one described in terms of particles interacting via a Mie potential. Particles adsorbed are modeled through a SW surface-particle pair interaction. The 2D theory gives an analytical expression for the first-order perturbation term of the adsorbed fluid, which is shown to perform well in comparison with computer-simulation results for different Mie fluids. The thermodynamic properties of the bulk fluid are obtained with the SAFT-VR-Mie approach (3). The combined 2D-3D theory is applied to the description of adsorption isotherms of carbon dioxide on dry coal.

world's number one NGO
by Tech Teen March 10, 2019 March 13, 2019
written by Tech Teen March 10, 2019 March 13, 2019
BRAC, the largest non-governmental organisation in the world and global leader in developing cost-effective, evidence-based programs in conflict-prone and post-disaster settings, has been announced the world's number one NGO of 2019 by NGO Advisor, an independent media organisation based in Geneva.
BRAC retained the top spot for the fourth year in a row in part due to its leadership of the Rohingya refugee crisis, innovative new partnerships, and the continued scale of its reach.
"I am delighted to learn that BRAC has again been ranked at the top among international NGOs. I congratulate our colleagues and partners whose dedicated work to fulfil our mission has helped us to achieve this unique distinction," said BRAC Founder and Chairman Sir Fazle Hasan Abed.
NGO Advisor commits to highlighting innovation, impact, and governance in the non-profit sector. Its Top 500 NGOs of the World rankings are based on three pillars: innovation, impact and sustainability, with a special focus on organizational governance. It evaluates hundreds of NGOs against this criteria and ranks them using a robust methodology.
"This ranking belongs to the entire BRAC family across the world. The strength of this organisation, for 47 years, comes from the people we work for, and the local, national and global government and non-government development partners we work with. We share this achievement with all of our partners in this journey. We will continue to strive until the result of progress reaches equitably to every single individual," said Dr. Muhammad Musa, Executive Director of BRAC Bangladesh.
In its review, NGO Advisor noted that BRAC's programs and initiatives are implemented across 43 countries, touching the lives of millions of people, including hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees. Through increased partnerships with governments, as well as local and global organizations, BRAC emerged last year as a leader at the heart of a humanitarian-development nexus. Also, the organization's financial model has allowed it to continue to scale up operations even as donor funding proves increasingly challenging. As in years past, this positively affected ratings by NGO Advisor that focus on diversifying revenue streams and long-term sustainability.
"BRAC works with people living in situations of inequality and disadvantaged communities around the world. We develop proven approaches to address poverty and empower vulnerable people at scale, and bring our programs to where they are most needed," said Faruque Ahmed, Executive Director of BRAC International.
The assessments for the ranking draw on publicly available information – including financial, human resources, governance, and marketing and communications data – and consider any not-for-profit or public-interest organization that is active at the local, national, or international level.
In this year's rankings, BRAC is joined by NGOs at the vanguard of the international development sector, with Médecins Sans Frontières, also known as Doctors Without Borders; the Danish Refugee Council; Open Society Foundations; and Mercy Corps in the top five.
