Stuff Julia Likes is a lifestyle blog that posts daily pop culture reviews and product recommendations.
Fresh off of wild weeks (see also: parallel lives), Julia and Matt unpack the latest in general life mayhem, mystery pains, and carnivorous plants. Joined by Sonya, Julia's roommate, the squad rambles with vague purpose in yet another installment of something no one listens to, even if they care about us--prove me wrong!
This week we panic about mice in the walls of our recording studio aka Julia's apartment, reflect on Anna Torverse, realize that Disneyworld is high-key racist, and bring it all back to our favorite country, Brazil! All of this leads up to a rave review from this week's surprise guest: "Your microphone is surprisingly good."
An XXL edition of the pod as Matt and Julia get hyped up for a live appearance this weekend! From Satanism to the English translation of "Despacito" to Matt being mistaken for a trash can on St. Patrick's Day, this episode of the pod covers more ground than ever before. Join us for some laughs, some discourse, and a whole lot of nonsense!
The long-awaited, cliffhanger-resolving conclusion to our two-part episode! In a future where Matt is already on Spring Break and we know that Colton jumped the fence, we manage to prove how evergreen our loosely fact-based comedic ramblings truly are.
Ep. 7: We're Engaged?! (NOT CLICKBAIT) Part !
The first part of our first two-part episode! Matt and Julia laugh until they cry about unemployment, vent about overrated films, and leave you on the edge of your seat as you wait for questions to be answered in the forthcoming Part II.
Nothing screams "Special Edition Valentine's Day Episode" quite like Julia being abandoned by the only steady male presence in her life.
In this delirium-filled episode, Matt and Julia grapple with censorship, idealize the carefree lifestyle of tiny houses, and flex their basic sound editing muscles. More than anything, this episode will leave you with the question, "Is Matt okay?" and "Does Julia's apartment have a washer and dryer in unit?"
Extremely not sponsored, but we are very susceptible to vitamin marketing.
After a thorough fact-check of last week's episode, Matt and Julia rave about their favorite dating television shows and decide that they'd both make pretty crappy contestants on the Bachelor. This week's episode features a special guest: the puppy that Julia is looking after tonight!
In this episode, we thank the Academy and our fans, Julia utilizes some crystals to manifest success for our digital media journey, Matt tries to answer every question with 9/11, and we dabble in ASMR.


This used to be my least favourite interview question of all time. Where do you even start with answering that? How can you tell someone about yourself, your career, what makes you a good fit for the job and show off your personality? In just a few minutes?
If you weren't prepared for this question in an interview, this is what would happen.
You'd go blank, you'd get hot, your palms would start to sweat, you'd start to fidget and then say, "um…".
But here's the thing – in every interview I've had, I've been asked this question. Which means it's 99.9% likely that you'll be asked it in your interviews too.
And employers have got a good reason for asking it too.
You see, your interviewer can learn a lot about you from the way you answer this question. Plus, with it usually being the first question, your answer can shape how the rest of the interview is going to go.
Luckily for you, I have a five step, bullet proof answer for this that will make you stand out. If the question "tell me about yourself" scares you, this post is for you. Follow these steps and for your next interview, you'll be more than ready.
Plus, I've even created a free template for you to download so you can fill your answer in as you go along.
Give Me The Free Template!
Thank you! Click here to be taken straight to your free template.
Before we begin, I'm going to tell you a really easy way to remember your answer to this question.
The best way to start the answer to 'tell me about yourself is to start off with what you're currently doing. Now I don't mean in the sense of "My name's Holly, I've got brown eyes and brown curly hair" - I mean it in another way.
Talk about yourself in relation to the job that you're applying for.
So you start with what you're doing right now. Are you a student? Are you taking a gap year doing some freelancing work? Or are you in a job?
"I currently work as a Marketing Coordinator for a local sixth form College where I'm responsible for marketing the whole college to prospective students and producing various marketing materials."
"I'm currently in my final year studying for an English degree at Lancaster University, and I'm also serving on the student union."
All you need is one sentence to describe what you're currently doing.
You all know about triplets, and the power of three, right? Whenever you describe something or you're listing things, always do it in threes. It's the same for the second step of this question. You want to list your three strongest skills, in relation to the job that you're interviewing for.
For instance, you wouldn't say one of your skills was numerical analysis if you were applying for a writing job.
"I believe some of my strongest skills are my organisation, communication and creativity."
I always go with those skills. They're applicable to any job I apply for in my industry and three essential skills that an employer wants to see.
Don't pick the skills you think your interviewer wants to know. Pick the ones you know you're best at. That's something that will come across in your interview.
Thank you! Click here to get instant access to your free template.
"Some of my biggest achievements include achieving a distinction in my final Masters degree project and achieving the qualification of 100 words per minute in shorthand."
I use these as my biggest achievements because they look impressive and I put so much hard work in to achieve them.
The achievements you choose show a lot about what you think is important. You pick anything you want. But again, don't pick something you think your interviewer will want to hear. Choose to talk about an achievement that means the most to you.
"I'm a self-starter and I'm proud of my motivation and honesty."
What are the three things you admire most about yourself? Are you a great listener? Do you create a good balance in your life? Are you a positive and optimistic person? These are things you want to say here.
Why should they hire you and no one else?
Why do you want to work for this company more than the other candidates?
That's what they're looking for. As much as an interview is about you, it's also about the company you want to work for too.
"Now I'm ready to take on the challenge and further my career at [insert company name] that holds the same high standards and expectations as I hold for myself."
Notice how many great things this sentence has in it. It talks about yourself in relation to the company, how you want to grow and how both of your outlooks are similar.
When you end your answer with this, your interviewers won't be able to wait to dig even deeper into who you are and why they should hire you.
"I currently work as a Marketing Coordinator for a local sixth form College where I'm responsible for marketing the whole college to prospective students and producing various marketing materials. I believe some of my strongest skills are my organisation, communication and creativity.
Some of my biggest achievements include achieving a distinction in my final Masters degree project and achieving the qualification of 100 words per minute in shorthand. I'm a self-starter, I'm proud of my motivation and honesty, and I'm now ready to take on the challenge and further my career at [insert company name] that holds the same high standards and expectations as I hold for myself."
So, friends, there you have it! The easiest and best way to answer the hardest interview question ever. I hope this was helpful for you. I really do swear by the format of this answer. In every interview I've had, I've always got really positive feedback for my answers and I want to pass on that goodness to you. So if you've got an interview coming up or you feel like you might need this in the future, bookmark it, get the free template and keep it somewhere safe. Then go and absolutely boss your interview.
If there any other parts of interviews your need help with, just let me know.
How do you feel about answering this interview question? Do you have any tips to share? Let's chat in the comments!

Order XXI, rule 95
Order XXI, rule 95 deals with delivery of property on the application of the purchaser of immovable property sold in execution of a decree. Though an express provision to the effect that the auction-purchaser is deemed to be a "party" within the meaning of section 47 is being inserted1, rule 95 has been retained, as indicating clearly the procedure to be adopted.
1. See the amendment proposed to section 47.
Order XXI, rules 97 to 103
1. The general scheme of rules 97 to 103 has been altered on the lines of the amendments proposed in rules 58 to 63. In substance, the amendments carry out the recommendation made in the Fourteenth Report1 to the effect, that the executing court should undertake a full inquiry and determine question of title in cases of resistance or obstruction in delivery of possession, etc.
2. Apart from this, the following points may be noted:-
In the rule corresponding to rule 98, the words "or on his behalf" have been added, to cover cases of resistance, etc., by a person acting without instigation by the judgment-debtor and yet for his benefit2-3.
The question whether persons who did not file a claim or objection to attachment under rule 58 should be barred from agitating their claims under rule 97 or rule 100 (that is, by way of defence to an application under rule 97 or by way of an application under rule 100) has been considered. It is felt, that such a provision should not be inserted. A categorical provision of this nature would not be justified, as there may be cases where, by reason of defect in or absence of attachment or other factors, the person now applying had no knowledge of the attachment, and could not, therefore, have filed an objection under rule 58. A provision requiring such persons to obtain leave of the Court before they agitate their rights in such cases has also not been favoured, as it may work hardship.
The local Amendments to existing rule 98 make certain changes in matters of detail. Thus, the Bombay Amendment to rule 98 provides that the court may order the person or persons whom it held responsible for resistance or obstruction to pay, in addition to costs, reasonable compensation not exceeding one thousand rupees (to the decree-holder or the purchaser), for the delay and expenses caused to him in obtaining possession. The Punjab Amendment to rule 98 provides that the person detained under rule 98 shall be detained at the public expense and the person at whose instance he is being detained shall not be required to pay for his subsistence. It is, however, considered unnecessary to adopt these amendments in matters of detail.
1. 14th Report, Vol. I.
2. Cf the recommendation made by the Civil Justice Committee (1925) Report, pp. 498 and 499, para. 33.
3. Cf section 74.
Order XXI, rule 97 and question of Court fee and Limitation
Under the proposed scheme, the orders in proceedings under rules 97 to 103 will be treated as decrees. Appeals from such orders will thus have to bear ad valorem court-fees. It is, however, felt that a reduction of court-fees in respect of such appeals should be granted by the State Government as has been done in the case of orders under section 47.
Under the proposed scheme, the question of filing a suit to set aside the order passed in proceedings under rules 97 to 103, will not remain. The relevant portion of Article 98 of the Limitation Act, 1963, dealing with such suits, will, therefore, have to be omitted.

For These Latina Activists, the Struggle for Climate Justice & Racial Justice Must Be Fought Together
By Dominique Rémy
One day, Columba Sainz's daughter started wheezing. And then it happened again and again. Sainz soon realized there was a pattern: Her daughter would play in Phoenix's Central Park and then she'd have trouble breathing. It didn't take long for Sainz to make the connection between the symptoms – which her daughter had never exhibited before – and the air quality. The Central Park area, located in Downtown Phoenix, sees heavy traffic from freeways during rush hours in the morning, noon and afternoon.
"Climate change has disproportionately impacted lower-income neighborhoods."
A trip to the pediatrician yielded no solutions, but Sainz, a 33-year-old mother of three, and her husband learned that the air in their county of Maricopa wasn't great. In fact, the American Lung Association provides Maricopa county with an F grading for air quality. As a result, their air filters were filthy. Instead of changing them once a month, as recommended, they needed to replace them every two weeks.
Their situation isn't isolated. All across the United States and the world, it is communities of color that feel most of the effects of climate change. While the topic is now gaining traction, particularly among younger generations, climate change has disproportionately impacted lower-income neighborhoods with majority Black and brown residents for much longer. And as the environmental movement charges on, it's them who we should uplift and prioritize.
For Latinas involved in environmental justice, its stories like that of Sainz and her family that inspired them to get involved in advocacy. While impoverished communities of color are often an afterthought when it comes to green efforts, these activists ensure Black and brown neighborhoods are not forgotten and, instead, are prioritized in their work. Here, some Latinas from all over the nation fighting to ensure a safer, more sustainable and healthier future for our communities.
Gabriela Rivera, Field Manager of Moms Clean Air Force
Gabriela Rivera's path toward environmental activism was inspired by different factors. As a formerly undocumented immigrant, the Chihuahua, Mexico-born change-maker felt like activism was a natural fit for her. She first began by advocating for access to higher education for immigrants and by holding lawmakers accountable for the ways that their laws hurt this community. But after President Donald Trump won the election, she knew she wanted to do more.

"I was looking for ways to strengthen Latino engagement in our democracy," she says. "I started to ask myself, 'What's important? Who needs to be empowered? What's an issue that's disproportionately impacting my community, and how do I get involved?' Air quality rose to the top of my list of high-priority issues."
She currently works with Moms Clean Air Force, an organization that aims to protect children from air pollution and climate change. Through a joint project between Moms Clean Air Force and GreenLatinos, she is ensuring her activism is intersectional. The two groups together launched the Ecomadres initiative, which Columba is part of. It focuses on Latinx communities in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas.
Across the country, Rivera leads Ecomadres' popular Cafecito program – intimate coffee break-style conversations where participants are invited to discuss how the environment can affect health. For Latinos, communities are extensions of families, which is why establishing this sort of dynamic was so important for Ecomadres. It engages communities in a variety of ways, including through regional events where parents and children from various cities can meet. The organization arms on-the-ground field organizers with cafecito kits for meetings and assists in lobbying efforts, where mothers, like Sainz, have the chance to speak directly to politicians.
Frances A. Pérez-Rodríguez, La Finca del Sur
On the other side of the country, Black Puerto Rican farmworker Frances A. Pérez-Rodríguez sounds the clarion call of urban farming in the heart of the South Bronx. It was Ken Burns' 2012 The Central Park Five documentary that first got her involved in social justice work. The film inspired her to plunge into the Black Lives Matter Movement in 2015. She started as an organizer, with her work centering on police brutality in newly gentrifying communities.
"A place for community members to just exist in commune with nature."
As these neighborhoods became more valuable, generations-old residents, usually people of color, were treated as refuse for police to clean up in the service of mitigating public nuisance. These interactions, however, increase the risk of police escalation, which can turn deadly. This led Pérez-Rodríguez to realize the ways in which land has been manipulated by industrialization and propped up as a source of oppression for underprivileged communities, instead of serving as a place for living and food bounty. As she worked with the justice committee hosting Know Your Rights trainings, she began to pick up an interest in cultivating medicinal herbs. Soon after, this turned into a passion for farming, leading her to attend Farm School NYC.
"It felt like I needed to completely immerse myself in land work and remember our relationship to the land, so I decided to become a farmer and grow food and medicine, basically in any situation," Pérez-Rodríguez says.
She currently works with La Finca Del Sur, an urban farmer cooperative led by Latina and Black women in the South Bronx. For her, it's a place for community members to just exist in commune with nature and discuss solutions and healing to various racial justice and police violence issues.
For Pérez-Rodríguez, protecting the planet must center justice for all. From the dawning of the Industrial Revolution, carbon emissions, particularly from global corporations, have precipitated irreversible damage to the planet. The profit motive to continue our reliance on fossil fuels, according to the activist, has proven to far exceed that of saving the planet, which is why she believes we shouldn't rely on change to start from the top-down but rather through people power. "I've been, for the past four or five years, wanting to connect with the land and the truth and not what the powers that be teach us," she says.
Nicole Hernandez-Hammer, The Clean Energy State Alliance
As an energetic child eagerly roaming the highlands of Guatemala, climate scientist Nicole Hernandez-Hammer may have envisioned a bright future, but she probably didn't expect to be former first lady Michelle Obama's esteemed guest at the 2015 State of the Union address.
"It was such an incredible honor, and I was deeply grateful for the opportunity," Hernandez says humbly.
"Latinas make less on the dollar but are still willing to make the most sacrifices to ensure their families' safety."
All the moments leading up to the SOTU address were equally as noteworthy. Leaving Guatemala for Miami at the age of four, Hernandez's family was soon hit with an ecological disaster of their own when they lost their home to Hurricane Andrew in 1992. With the environment always featuring pretty heavily in Hernandez's life, she decided to study climate science full time.
This work took her in many different directions. At one point, she brought her work home, specifically to the majority Latino community of South Florida. With her focus being on sea level rises, Hernandez started mapping out the most vulnerable spots in South Florida. Armed with the knowledge, she began doing outreach with the same people most likely to be displaced due to flooding. Although her work did focus on the Gulf South, Hernandez, now based in Rhode Island, talks more broadly about the global impact of climate change. Being a Guatemalan immigrant of Cuban descent, her heart and concern is never too far from her origins.
Today, she is the project director for the Clean Energy State Alliance (CESA), where she focuses on creating opportunities for low-income communities to have better access to solar renewable energy.
In explaining her experience as a Latina working within communities, Hernandez says, "Latinas make less on the dollar but are still willing to make the most sacrifices to ensure their families' safety."

You Should Be Scared
Name: Laird John Hamilton, Born: 2 March 1964, Place of birth: San Francisco, California, United States, Occupation: Surfer
People apparently only do dangerous things in three ways: in fear, in ignorance, or in denial. Which one drives you?
Probably denial. (Laughs) When you do something dangerous, there's a certain amount of denial that you have to have. In a way, with big wave surfing you have to deny the ultimate consequence, because if you didn't, you might not do it. At the end of the day, there's also always a certain amount of ignorance because you don't know every scenario; you don't know every possibility. That seems to be pretty consistent in areas where people are doing things that have a certain innate danger for fun. I think at this point, I might have to say that I probably have a fairly healthy level of all of them and that's what keeps me somewhat in balance.
Well, I'm not needing to go out and do a bunch of things that scare me all the time, I don't have to go base jumping, I don't have to go wing suit surfing, I don't have to go through all this stuff all the time until eventually the end is that you die. I have friends that have done that, I've watched people do that, and the final thing is that they die. I mean, we're all going to die, but it seems that theirs may come a little sooner than it could have. It seems more like they're in the pursuit of adrenaline than they are in the pursuit of sensations and experiences.
So that fear and adrenaline isn't a motivating factor for you as a big wave surfer?
There's a certain aspect of fear that I'm attracted to, sure. I think it can be motivating at times but I don't know if it's the motivating factor. Fear is connected to reverence and respect, you know, there's always a level of fear that exists when you truly understand what's going on. That stuff is real, but it's connected to reverence: it is constructed fear, it is healthy fear — that's the stuff that keeps us alive.
Fear keeps you safe — because if you were completely fearless, surfing these waves would be a much more dangerous situation.
Exactly. I think there's a certain level of ignorance in fearlessness. If you're riding a giant wave and you're not a little bit scared, I think that you're not using your full capacity to think. You should be scared. Good math would tell you that you should be. At end of the day, that's just intelligence. At the same time, that fear makes it easy to label someone an adrenaline junkie because if I said to you that I do it for the heightened awareness and acute sensitivity… Then everybody would be doing it.
Does it bother you when people write you off as an adrenaline junkie?
I think I take offense to that because I don't feel like that's taking into account all of the time, all the experience, all the training. I definitely always had a broad picture of how I would like my career to unfold. My mom had a saying that the way God punishes you is that he gives you what you asked for, so you have to be careful what you ask for. Sometimes you think you want certain things and then you achieve them, and maybe the outcome isn't quite what you thought it was going to be. That's always an interesting epiphany, the whole process… So I think to write that off as my being an adrenaline junkie… I feel like it's a disclaimer for people, like somehow that lets them off the hook from actually pursuing something that they would like to do — but they don't do it so they go, "Oh, that's what adrenaline junkies do."
Is there another time in your life outside of surfing where you get that same rush?
Maybe if I'm swimming and I think a giant shark is coming! (Laughs) I don't know if there's exactly the same feeling… There are other versions, other exciting moments, whether it's helicopter snowboarding or another extreme sport, but it doesn't have so much experience in it, you know? Whereas with wave riding and being in the ocean, I think I have so much accumulated knowledge and experience that it contributes to a more heightened sensation as well.
But that danger is probably necessary in extreme sports, right? Would you be just as passionate about surfing if there was no risk involved?
Probably not! (Laughs) I probably wouldn't be so attracted to it if there wasn't a certain level of risk, but you know, it goes back to some real primal simple emotions. When you're surfing, it's all about adrenaline, acute awareness.
What do you mean by acute awareness?
Every sense, and maybe a couple of them that you don't realize you have, is turned on. Everything's on high alert, emotionally but also physically. Everything is at a maximum. The thought process is pretty clean, pretty pure. You get very focused on the job at hand, on the ride at hand. The descent is always thrilling, there's a certain level of excitement as you descend, and then there's a certain amount of fear that comes over you once you get to the bottom because you're in a position to take the brunt of it on your head if you make a mistake.
And then when you come out the other side — relief?
I would call it satisfaction; the ecstasy of completing it. We've lived these emotions; there's a reason why, we didn't just think this stuff up and then just start doing it. Like I said, this stuff is connected to some deep primal instincts that we're not getting fulfilled because we're not having to run from predatory animals like we did for hundreds of thousands of years before. So now we have to make up new activities to fulfill those emotional needs. I think there's a level of it in every human… There is a certain something about the ever-present danger of death that makes living so great.

MD²: Concierge Champions to Ultra-High Net-Worth Sector
By cmtdpcjournal on January 16, 2019
A private Seattle – based healthcare pioneer that paved the way for Concierge Medicine in the mid nineties evolved into a model that now serves as "Health Asset Managers" for people of extraordinary wealth who want to protect their health much in the same way they do when hiring financial planners to invest their money. Responding to a growing need, MD² has expanded into 13 cities in the U.S.
BELLEVUE, Wash. (PRWEB) January 16, 2019
Over the last decade, America has been witnessing an enormous surge in companies and individuals alike attempting to optimize the personalized delivery of healthcare, as the benefits of a deeper patient/physician relationship are being recognized and lauded. This isn't a new concept though. The sacred bond between a physician and a patient was the impetus of a model that evolved over two decades ago, which ultimately sparked a whole cottage industry, known as Concierge Medicine.
RELATED STORY | CMT Exclusive
Concierge Medicine, 20+ Years Later.
MD² pioneered the concept of concierge medicine in 1996, and the Seattle-based company has since expanded to 13 offices in 11 well-traveled cities, with a business model that was purposefully designed to meet the needs of the high net worth sector. While a small percentage of Americans fall into this category, the demand is just as great for a stellar concierge medical practice that can accommodate the unique needs of busy executives with significant constraints on their time and demanding travel schedules. Individuals who cannot wait to secure appointments, whose privacy and confidentiality are high priorities, and most of all, for those who expect precision.
WHITEPAPER | CMT EXCLUSIVE | The One Major Psychological Challenge and Trust Barrier of The Ultra-Wealthy
Concierge Medicine Today hosted the 2018 CMT FORUM a few weeks ago. A.I., telehealth and more were discussed in this "Innovators Panel" at the Concierge Medicine FORUM just a few weeks ago in October, 2018 CMT in Atlanta, GA USA. Concierge Doctors take the Main Stage at the 2018 Concierge Medicine FORUM in Atlanta, GA, a three day conference bringing 30+ speakers, Physician faculty, nearly two dozen breakouts, lead-in workshops and more. http://www.ConciergeMedicineFORUM.com
From a lifestyle point of view, this model serves their needs well as their entire family benefits from the familial physician/patient relationship that is proactive, not reactive and that could make all the difference in terms of health. Dr. Suzanne Wittig, from the MD² McLean, VA practice, which opened in August, 2018 said, "I am amazed how the MD² practice model harmonizes with what I have always wanted to achieve for my patients. It's not just me serving my patients, it's all of my distinguished partners across the country. Together, the synergy of care we can deliver to our patients is unparalleled. I am honored to be part of this remarkable group."
From a business point of view, joining MD² is a great investment in their long-term health. "It's not just an annual physical. It's a relationship I am privileged to share with each of my patients that becomes more meaningful as life unfolds," says Dr. Jefferey Trunsky of the recently opened MD² Chicago, ILL Lake Shore practice. MD² patients are millionaires, senior executives, and successful entrepreneurs who believe they should invest in healthcare and "health asset managers" to protect their health much in the same way they do when hiring financial planners to invest their money. They no longer have to put their trust in an unknown entity or a "provider" who is constrained by insurance and billing. They have a trusted advisor, a medical champion and steadfast advocate who will devote their full energy and abilities to their health and wellbeing – always. And for this enormous commitment, patients are willing to pay the hefty annual fee to be one of only 50 families served by the MD² physician in their city. This unparalleled group of physicians are true "doctors' doctors". Each of the 26 MD² doctors is a seasoned physician, with over 25 years of experience; who has worked side by side with the most renowned specialists and are each connected to the top medical institutions in their cities.
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2019 + REFLECTION | What Other Service Industries Have Influenced Concierge Medicine?
With the opening of MD² over 23 years ago, Dr. Howard Maron, a sought-after internist and former team physician for the Seattle Sonics, created the first "concierge medicine" model, downsizing his practice from over 3,000 patients to just 50 families. Today MD² physicians care for 1,300 families in 13 offices nationwide: Tysons Corner in McLean, VA; New York City (2 offices); Boston; Chicago (2 offices); Dallas; San Francisco; Beverly Hills; Menlo Park; Portland; Bellevue and Seattle.
Dr. Maron has always believed that by substantially limiting his practice to just 50 families, he could truly care for and attend to everyone's medical needs and become intimately involved in their entire family's health history. This belief and understanding stemmed from his time as the team physician for the Seattle Sonics NBA basketball team. "I appreciated that I could get to know each team member intimately, and that I could provide exceptional care as a result of knowing them so well. I wondered why people who weren't elite athletes couldn't get the same kind of relationship from their physician. That's really where the idea was spawned."
Dr. Howard Maron, Founder of MD2
"The same concept applies to family medicine. When a physician treats the whole family, they know more about each person, recognize issues and related symptoms sooner and can more proactively manage their health." Says Dr. Maron.
Today, MD² is the largest group of high-end concierge medical practices in the country that offers (among many other services) direct access to their physicians and expedited appointments with medical specialists at top hospitals; genetic testing; in-office radiology services with same day readings; medical jet evacuation services and access to international doctors and hospitals in times of necessity such as business or leisure travel with their families. Beyond the advanced health technology to which they have access, MD² physicians prioritize services that promote the safety, health and wellbeing of each and every patient.
INSIDE LAX Airport Lounge | A Doctor too? LAX has a lavish private terminal where guests get a host of perks including suites and a private car to take you straight to the plane.
Peter Hoedemaker, CEO at MD²
"Health care is not and should not be a one-size-fits-all solution. Continual innovation is what will ultimately save a crumbling health care system and the more options there are to serve the needs of Americans the better. MD² is the result of fearless trailblazing by one man. Others need to follow suit to bring new methodologies, technologies and models that will serve other consumer sectors and free the medical paradigm from it's current spin-cycle with insurance and billing.", says MD²'s CEO, Peter Hoedemaker.

SunMirror AG: SunMirror AG ('the Company') announces launch of offer to acquire Latitude 66 Cobalt Limited
Posted by: Devki Yadav December 20, 2021	in Media OutReach
ZUG, SWITZERLAND – EQS Newswire – 20 December 2021 – Further to the announcement made by the Company on 26 August 2021, the Company announces that on 19 December 2021 its wholly owned subsidiary SunMirror S.A. ("SM S.A. ") has entered into a bid implementation agreement with Latitude 66 Cobalt Limited ("Lat66") ("BIA") in connection with the proposed offer to acquire the issued share capital of Lat66, the parent company of Finnish cobalt company at a price of AUD0.467 per Lat66 share ("the Offer").
Under the terms of the BIA, SM S.A. and Lat66 will lodge their respective bidder's and target's statements made in connection with the Offer on 22 December 2021 with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and despatch those statements to Lat66's shareholders. Assuming the required level of acceptances is received from the recipients of the offer and acceptance of those holding performance rights in respect of ordinary shares in Lat 66 of an offer to acquire those performance rights at a price equal to that offered to Lat66's shareholders, and subject to other conditions being satisfied, the timetable for completion of the Offer and completion of the entire issued share capital of Lat66 plus all performance rights is as follows:
Offer Closes 4 February
Despatch of
compulsory acquisition notices to non-accepting Lat66 shareholders 4 February
Completion of
compulsory acquisition of Lat66 shares from Lat66 shareholders 4 March 2022
The total purchase price which would become payable to
Lat66's shareholders and the holders of performance rights on completion of the
Offer is AUD 69,116,000.
SunMirror, which has prospective resource projects in Australia, expands its market presence through the acquisition of Lat66 and is able to supply the European economy with cobalt and other critical commodities and metals such as lithium from sustainable, stable and legally secure sources in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and ESG requirements. With the acquisition of Lat66, SunMirror is excellently positioned to act as a strategic partner to the European economy, supplying raw materials for digital transformation.
Demand for critical raw materials such as cobalt and lithium has been growing rapidly for years. Drivers of this demand include new technological developments such as electromobility. Recently, the European Union ('EU') reaffirmed, as part of the launch of its European Green Deal, that a lack of access to critical raw materials or over-dependence on single suppliers would undermine Europe's ability to be an industrial leader in new technologies. In order to achieve the EU's goal of climate neutrality, it is important not to create new dependency on uncertain third countries for these critical raw materials in terms of legal certainty, working conditions and environmental standards.

Bronk Family Coat of Arms
Yield Not to Evil
What's the origin of the Bronk family?
BRONK: A man named Jonas Bronck came into New Amsterdam in the early 17th century and bought the land which is now the Bronx. An Indian treaty was made in his house. After he died, Pieter Bronck, who was thought to be his son, and Jonas's widow moved up to Fort Orange, Albany. Her second husband was Arend Van Curler, the founder of Schenectady. But the historian who is now the head of the Bronx County Historical Society says that Jonas Bronck died "without issue." Pieter Bronck went to Coxsackie and built a house there which is still standing. He was very likely to have been a younger brother of Jonas. [pointing to document] This is the Arms of Jonas. All of these elements later became part of the seal of New York City and New York State. The motto is from the Aneid: Do not yield to evil. And when the treaty was made to the Indians in New York City they felt they had to have a seal to seal it with and so they used Jonas's seal on the flag he had flying on his ship, The Fire of Troy. Apparently he was a merchant trader in the North Sea, with a Dutch wife. According to the historian he was a Swede.
There's a picture among your archives on the University of New Hampshire web site of your mother. Was she a Congresswoman?
BRONK: She was on the New York State Republican Committee. She was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut and had uncles in Schuylerville, New York. She'd come up and spend summers with them. That's how they met. My father had a contracting business and had a job to build a lock or a damn or something or other in Schuylerville.
What do you remember most about him?
BRONK: That he was an enterprising and successful businessman. My father was William. I'm William M. Jr. The M is an initial only. It came about because when my father was born they were expecting a girl that they were going to name Minnie. And to their great disappointment my father appeared so they named him William with an initial only M. Minnie came along several children later. I dropped the M and when my father died I dropped the Jr. I like things to be as simple as possible and two names are enough for me.
When did he start the coal company?
BRONK: In 1923 he bought a coal franchise from a widow who didn't want to continue with it. In those days you couldn't just set up in the coal business because no one would sell you coal. He was always interested in new enterprises. Four years later he went into the building material business, lumber and such. He built the lumber company across the road. Then he took on fuel oil. And before he died he started the first concrete business in this area. In the meantime he's been a bank president, but the bank got lost in the Depression. When Roosevelt came into power in the early '30s part of the New Deal was to set up state public welfare departments which had not existed before. My father was the first Commissioner of Public Welfare in this county. He had quite a varied and successful business life but was only 52 when he died. I really had very little interest in the business but I did take it over after the war. I thought, I'll go in it temporarily. His brother had been running it since 1941 when my father died until after the war was over. I thought I'd find somebody to manage it. We didn't feel confident of his brother. So I was there temporarily which lasted thirty-some years. My sister Jane had been in the business after she got out of college until she got married, which was, oh, 6 or 7 years later. She was like my father. She loved business. She would've made a better manager than I did. I didn't get rich but I made a living and it gave me a great deal of freedom as far as my writing life was concerned. And there were times when I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the people. The customers and the staff. I liked the social part of business. My father was not one to belong to service organizations and neither was I so when the business day was over the business day was over.
Did your mother or your father have sympathies towards writing or poetry?
BRONK: No.
Was your family religious?
BRONK: Mother went to the Episcopal Church. My father was raised Dutch Reformed but there was no such church here so he went to the Methodist Church. I was never baptized. Betty and Jane were baptized in the Episcopal Church. I went to the Episcopal Sunday school but I am not a card-carrying Christian. I don't go to church but I did when I was a child. I wondered if maybe there was a kind of standoff between my mother and my father because the girls were baptized Episcopal and maybe he wanted me baptized in the Methodist church and as a consequence nothing was ever done.
How did you and publisher Jim Weil of Elizabeth Press get together?
BRONK: He saw my work in Origin and asked me for some poems for Elizabeth, the magazine he published. We started corresponding. I wanted somebody to publish The Empty Hands. The World, the Worldless sold fairly well but neither James Laughlin nor June Oppen Degnan wanted to do another. When Degnan saw the manuscript for The Empty Hands she said, "Oh, there are poems here I'd give my eye teeth to publish but there are also things there that will harm your reputation." And I said, "I don't care about my reputation, this is my work." My friend, the novelist Richard Elman, said that he had contacts in the publishing world and he'd find someone to publish The Empty Hands but he didn't get anyplace with it. When I told Jim Weil about that he said, "Well, I know people that Elman doesn't know, let me try." He had no luck and eventually came to me and said, "You wouldn't let me publish it, would you?" And I said, "Yes I would, Jim." Between the two of them, they'd probably canvassed every possibility in the world. And the next week or so I had a letter from Michael Perkins who said I'm publishing some books and I've seen your work and admire it and do you have a book that I can publish? [laughs]
When Cid Corman published William Bronk – an essay (Truck Press, 1976), with your letters, did you feel betrayed?
BRONK: He had said to me, "You don't mind if I quote some of your letters." But when I saw the letters that he quoted, my feeling was that anybody reading this book would assume that he could not have published the letters that he did unless I had OK'd it. There was nothing scandalous, but on the other hand it made me a kind of exhibitionist, having my letters published, when I had nothing to do with it. Years later I looked at the book again and I thought, why did I get angry about it? Who cares, what does it matter, really. But at the time I thought very definitely that there was a violation. He didn't write that book, I did. There's hardly a word of his there. He said, "I did it all for love." Love, schmuv. He did it for what he could get out of it.

It's no secret that getting around the city usually tops the lists of concerns for people who are on the hunt for DTLA apartments. It's understandable since Los Angeles just so happens to be the second most populated city in the United States, and getting from point A to point B can sometimes be a pretty involved endeavor. But, we at WREN are here to put those concerns to rest. Because of our central location, we've cracked the code on how to easily commute through DTLA!
The Commuter Express program is an incredibly convenient and quick way to get to and from downtown and other major LA spots. A Commuter Express bus limits the number of stops it makes so you have more of a straight shot to your destination. Two popular routes are just a few minutes from WREN's DTLA apartments. Route 437 runs between downtown and Culver City and is easily accessed on Grand and Pico. The 431 stop is on Venice and Grand and runs from downtown to Palms.
The Santa Monica Expo Line is a new light rail system that allows you to get from DTLA out to Santa Monica in under an hour! If an hour commute from DTLA to Santa Monica sounds like a long time then you're obviously not from LA. During rush hour, this drive can sometimes take up to two hours. A public transportation service that can get out to the Santa Monica Pier in under an hour has long been awaited, and residents of DTLA are thrilled that they can finally ride the Santa Monica Expo Line.
The LA County Metro Rail System consists of two subway lines and four light rail lines. The Blue, Red and Purple lines are all served from the 7th Street/Metro Center Station in the Financial District. The Blue Line is a light rail route, while the Red and Purple are both subway routes. The Blue Line runs between DTLA and Long Beach, the Red Line goes from downtown to North Hollywood, and the Purple Line runs between downtown and Koreatown. Our DTLA apartments are just 10 minutes from the 7th Street/Metro Center Station!
Many of the DASH stops are less than a 10-minute walk from WREN's DTLA apartments including Hill and Pico, Olive and Pico, Los Angeles and 12th, and Figueroa and Pico.
At WREN, we listen to what matters most to our residents. We make sure they have everything they need to feel productive and fulfilled. We can do this for you as well! A location that'll make your commute a breeze is the tip of the iceberg at WREN.
We have other amenities and features that will meet all your professional, social and health needs. As a tenant, you get access to a business center and conference room with free WIFI, a private fitness center you can visit at your leisure, and community spaces that give you the opportunity to connect with friends, family and neighbors. And, of course, our apartment floor plans and finishes are designed to maximize space, comfort and functionality.
You deserve to live in DTLA apartments that complement your lifestyle! Get in touch with WREN Apartments!


CONS:The boss of the club was very rude and pushy about my friends and I filing a report on their injustice. He felt like he needed to harass and belittle us so we didn't finish the police report. The bouncer with a ponytail would not let me in to use the restroom because I witnessed their wrong doing.


Are you a biker? Do you know a biker? I was recently sent a Route 66 t-shirt from Hot Biker T-shirts. My first thought was, Get your kicks on Route 66!
I was highly impressed with how quickly my shirt arrived. The shirt is super soft, comfortable and high quality. I can see this shirt lasting a very long time. Hot Biker T-shirts has a great selection of Hot Biker T-Shirts for both men and women!
My husband is very particular about how his shirts fit and how they feel. He really likes this t-shirt and I can see myself purchasing more for him. There are a few that I know he would love! I love the fact that they are great quality and they wash very nicely.

PLAINFIELD, Ill. (WLS) -- The Plainfield Police Department issued a warning about a man impersonating an officer in the southwest suburb.
A woman told police she was approached just before 10 p.m. Friday by a man in a police uniform as she left a Little Caesar's Pizza in the 13300-block of South Route 59. She said he also has a gun and a radio.
He identified himself as a Plainfield officer and asked her for identification, police said. She grabbed her license from her car and showed it to him. Police said he then asked her for a second form of photo ID, which she also showed him.
The man then said he would write her a ticket. Police said when she asked why, he said he wouldn't write the ticket if she gave him her phone number.
The woman walked to her car and left. She told police she saw a patch on the man's sleeve that she didn't recognize, and said it was not a Plainfield police patch.
Police said the man was white, in his early 40s and had short, dark hair. He was about 6 ft. tall and weighed around 200 pounds.
Investigators are looking into what happened. Anyone who has information pertinent to the investigation should call Detective Sergeant Kevin McQuaid at 815-267-7209.

ESI and intervention
Since its creation in 1999 ESI as an institution and ESI analysts have been struggling with the question how to make intervention work best and how to avoid their dangers and pitfalls. Here is just a short overview of the relevant work by ESI and of the people behind it.
Marcus Cox, a founding member and founding senior editor of ESI since 1999. Marcus had worked in OHR, drafting the early property laws that were imposed to enable property repossession. He returned to work in Sarajevo to head an ambitious Bosnian governance assessment project that ESI carried out funded by DFID in 2002. He has also worked as a development consultant in Africa, Asia and the Pacific and as a speech writer for the general secretary of the African Development Bank based in Tunis.
Minna Jarvenpaa, a founding member of ESI. Minna worked as ESI senior analyst in Belgrade, Brussels, Skopje and London. She also worked in OHR in Bosnia, as strategy advisor for the SRSG in Kosovo, as international administrator in Mitrovica, for the Stabilisation Unit of the UK government in London, and as Head of Analysis and Planning in the UNAMA mission in Kabul.
Kristof Bender, deputy chairman of ESI, worked for ESI based in Nis, Podgorica, Skopje and Vienna. He recently wrote a chapter on the lessons from international intervention in Macedonia in 2001 for a book that comes out in January 2012. In Macedonia a much too little noticed very successful effort was made to both prevent a war from spilling out of control and to build a peace based on interethnic compromise.
Alexandra Stiglmayer is a senior analyst and founding member of ESI. A journalist by training, she covered the wars in former Yugoslavia. During that time, she wrote a book about war-time rape of women in Bosnia. She also worked for the OHR as the head of the press office, chief spokesperson and media expert.
Verena Knaus was one of the leading researchers in the field for the Lessons Learned and Analysis Unit in Kosovo, a joint project of ESI and the EU Pillar of UNMIK. She has also been involved in ESI research in Serbia, Turkey, and the Caucasus. Throughout these years Verena worked closely with emerging think tanks in Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania as part of the ESI capacity building programme.
Kristof Gosztonyi is an ESI analyst, has also worked for OHR in Bosnia, for UNHCR in Sri Lanka, and on a number of projects in Afghanistan.
David Stewart Howitt has been actively involved in transition and emerging Europe for over 15 years, including working for organisations as diverse as the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the OHR in Bosnia.
Felix Martin worked for the World Bank in Bosnia, Serbia, and Kosovo as well as an ESI analyst for Bosnia.
Kristina Hemon has worked in the Balkans on rule of law and justice issues for the OHR, ESI, International Crisis Group, the Council of Europe, and the UK's Post Conflict Reconstruction Unit.
Milan Nic has been a dvisor to the High Representative Miroslav Lajcák in Bosnia, worked as an ESI analyst and is now the Balkan advisor for the Slovak Foreign Minister.
Nicholas Wood has covered South Eastern Europe as a journalist since 1995. He also worked for ESI as a Balkans analyst.
Paul Hockenos is an author who has written about South Eastern Europe since 1989. He has also worked for ESI as Balkans analyst.
Verena Ringler has covered the Balkans as a journalist since 1996 and worked as an ESI analyst on European Enlargement.
Dominic Zaum worked with ESI's Lessons Learned and Analysis Unit in Kosovo. As an academic he has published extensible on the experiences and lessons from interventions in the Balkans, and edits a new book with Mats Berdal.

If smoked salmon and cream cheese convey just one factor to brain, you could count number your self one of the world's hundreds of thousands of bagel experts. yet few individuals are conscious of the bagel's provenance, not to mention its adventuresome background. This fascinating e-book tells the outstanding tale of the bagel's trip from the tables of seventeenth-century Poland to the freezers of heart the USA at the present time, a narrative of usually awesome connections among an inexpensive market-day snack and centuries of Polish, Jewish, and American background.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Roll the pieces under the palms of your hands, stretching them until they are about 18in (45cm) long. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and bring them together to form a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knock it back (knead out excess air). Take each end of the dough and cross them over each other to form a heart shape. Breads, Batters & Pizzas 10 11 12 13 14 15 Twist the ends of the dough around each other, as though they had linked arms.
Cover the bagels with plastic wrap greased with baking spray, and leave to rise for a second time. Remove the bagels from the water with a slotted spoon, and dry them with a clean dish towel. Preheat the oven and at the same time put a large pan of water on the stove to heat. Return the bagels to the baking sheet and brush them with a little egg wash. 16 Now the bagels are ready to be put in the oven. Once baked, they should be golden brown, well risen, and glossy to the touch. Color is pleasant golden brown 61 Breads, Batters & Pizzas HOW TO MAKE PRETZELS Much like bagels (see Tip 93), pretzels also taste their best the moment they come out of the oven.
To get around this, add the salt to the flour separately from the activated yeast mixture. MIXING SALT IN Use a balloon whisk to distribute the salt into the flour evenly before adding the activated yeast mixture. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FOR RISING In order for bread dough to rise well and quickly, it needs to be left at the correct temperature. If the temperature is too low, the dough will still rise, albeit very slowly; however, when the environment is too hot, there is the real risk of killing the yeast and stopping the rise altogether.


Export has a positive impact on economic growth, and exporting companies often achieve a higher level of productivity than non-exporting companies. Most companies in Sweden are small, and it is of vital importance for the Swedish economy that they successfully develop and grow. In a small home-market economy like Sweden, an important direction for growth is to expand internationally. But many companies do not dare to internationalize due to a perceived lack of competence. This report aims at providing a comprehensive overview of academic research related to different kinds of competences relevant for the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The overview leads into recommendations to SMEs regarding what kind of issues they might want to keep in mind when preparing for international business activities, e.g. to develop an appropriate set of resources and competences. In addition, implications relevant to policy-makers are derived from the literature overview.

DeBeauvoir: I've probably done six or seven recounts and two or three district court contests in 30 years. The first lesson of recounts is to get prepared, starting on election night, before you know if you are going to have a recount. You should anticipate the need to pull records and compile documentation from what is brought in on election night. So, be organized with each precinct/vote center set of records, preserve all the documentation for chain of custody and keep handy any affidavits that explain any extenuating circumstances that happened on Election Day. Also remember that you may not have just one recount. You may see your simple recount turn into a series of recounts and court contests. Keep everything in order at every step – you are in this for the long haul. In our Neil/Howard recount for a state representative seat during the 2010 elections, we went through a recount, a district court contest, and another recount before the state legislature in order to make the final decision.
DeBeauvoir: Think before you speak. Carefully craft your message to explain the reason for the recount. You must be equally welcoming to both campaigns. Do your very best to not let your personal feelings show. Ultimately, you may find an error that reverses the first outcome, and you want to be able to honestly celebrate a democracy where recovering from a mistake is part of our great tradition. Have one spokesperson and one clear message. Do not stray from the message. Rumors are more likely to circulate than not. Leave no shot unanswered. Quickly respond to each incident of false information in as many media areas as appropriate, not forgetting social media. Keep it succinct and professional.
DeBeauvoir: You really need good legal counsel. I use our County Attorney. If you don't have access to representation specific to elections, then you must go get it. Don't operate a recount without legal advice, and of course, you wouldn't proceed to a district court contest without an attorney. It is so important to protect the election official and the county from liability for an election worker's mistake.
DeBeauvoir: You learn to live with the idea that every step in your work can be questioned at any time. As Aretha says, R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Be competent, organized, and careful every day.
DeBeauvoir: Call another election administrator who has been through at least one recount. You'll get tips for staying organized and anticipating what the campaigns are going to demand. For example, if both campaigns and the recount supervisor all want copies of everything, you may need to set up an additional copier with a staff person to keep up with the workload. Another election administrator will know what you're going through and can help you stay calm and focused.
DeBeauvoir: Managing provisional and by mail ballots is an exercise in quality control. You will need complete written procedures, liberally reviewed and distributed at each workstation. One best practice is to always use two people for each task. The team approach may sound like just an added expense, but it helps catch mistakes before they proceed down the line. The fewer the mistakes, the faster you'll finish and the more confidence the parties will have in your result.
DeBeauvoir: It may sound obvious, but in your dealings with the campaigns and the press, be cheerful. Your demeanor should communicate honesty and transparency. Our democracy gives the loser the chance to question the outcome. It isn't (usually) a personal criticism of you or your office. See a recount as your chance to be unflappable and shine your own light.
This is a great piece with lots of good advice – especially the suggestion to reach out to a fellow election administrator for perspective and support (they don't call it the "election community" for nothing). Thanks to David and the EAC for sharing, and to Dana for her (typcially) smart guidance. Current events have me feeling like there could be some really interesting installments in this series in the very near future … stay tuned!
