The History and Development of Public Relations.
Published by admin at November 26, 2019
Write a paper that traces the history and development of PR in the United States. Pay special attention to each of the distinct stages.
The Hindu and Greeks have greatly impacted on the cultural practices and identity of the Cuban heritage especially in the area of health. Traditionally, both Greeks and Hindu used vegetable and fruits as a way of improving their immunity to avoid diseases. In both Greek and Hindu, consumption of meat products was given a wide birth. Whereas Greek and Hindu heritages are anchored on oriental cultures, the Cuban heritage is based on accidental culture. These two terms have been used describe what this paper intends to highlight on its later paragraphs.
This paper will investigate the connection between quick financial improvement and the 'development of custom' in the roads of post-war Western Europe. I will address here the topic of social confusion in anomic times of shakiness and change, and the manners by which the resurgence of custom can serve not just as a mode for arranging oneself through a modernizing urban scene, yet additionally as a representative way to oppose and subvert it.
Vital to my contention is that the psychogeographic practice of la D'rive can be conceptualized as a 'quirky ceremony' that waits at intersection between anomic normlessness, inventive refusal (Graeber, 2013), and a hunger for supernatural experience past the clear design of present day city life. In Western Europe, the breakdown of the customary social request encouraged schismogenetic (Bateson, 1935) practices of separation less in connection to the since quite a while ago settled the norm, yet rather, against the unfurling anomic one. Rather than a logic between two distinct gatherings, the schismogenetic procedure happened between the individual and the urban condition; and as people - here, the Situationists-came to see the multiplication of new social pathologies and presence of psychogeographic powers, radical activity was searched out.
urban liminal practice, la D'rive tries to crack the 'stranglehold of the general public of exhibition' (Pinder, 2000), through the formation of new examples and circumstances that uncover the psychogeographic logical inconsistencies recently private enterprise. Circumstances are proposed to be built snapshots of 'break, of speeding up, upheavals in individual regular day to day existence' (Debord, 1958); the training therefore, works as a method for cognizance adjustment which tries to touch off a consciousness of such logical inconsistencies. I propose that la D'rive has restorative impacts in the manner it accommodates the person to the obscurity of the city by enabling him to connect unexpectedly with ambiguous spaces while dropping aside the entirety of his other normal thought processes in development and activity (Debord and Wolman,1956). In this way, a psychogeographic center around the phenomenological experience of la D'rive can carry further understanding into the manner by which socially formed discernments collaborate with specific conditions, and how a modification of these recognitions can pacify the pressures between autonomous subjectivity and the shivering propensities of present day spaces.
Past the plastic feeling of the exhibition
In his 1978 film In girum imus nocte et consumimur igny, Debord significantly expresses: 'Paris never again exists'. The Paris he had once known, harking back to the 1950s had throughout the decades been remodeled, rearticulated by the general population building works regulated by Le Corbusier, and the populaces that once harbored city residences were being scattered, dispersed, in the light of the 'decongestioning' of the supposed 'unhygienic' and 'unhealthy' regions of the city. Such jargon of cleanliness was generally condemned as it all the while was filling in as a methods for the rejection of certain social gatherings, particularly outsider populaces, from explicit areas (Ross, 1996). The heimliche of urban life had become substituted by the unheimliche, with the changing and the revamping of the scene fuelled a feeling of rootlessness among the influenced stratums of French society, and the plastic feeling reflected in Le Corbusier's machine tasteful (Passanti, 1997) added to the devastating feeling of estrangement that was soaking the works of the time . This quickly spreading new social pathology came to clog the Parisian biological system of the 1970s with a significant sentiment of uncanniness, concerning occasion felt in progress of French author Georges Perec, Les Choses (1965), Life, A Users' Manual (2009) and A Man Asleep (2017), which portray the impulses of the advanced man exploring his way in the midst of the plastic isolation of his new natural surroundings.
While Paris was remade and its populaces dispersed about, its political economy was being transfigured with the ascent of the general public of scene, of which the trademark was the creation of the homo-economicus, whose presence was atomized and interceded by the laws of customer markets. A dynamic of anomie, wilderness and normlessness was developing at the core of the solid spaces of the cit', while another Weltanschauung, made out of the mass dispersion of customer pictures was beginning to intercede connections between individuals, items and spaces. The synergistic association between the changing physical condition, innovation and the division of work had come to substitute legitimate needs with the assembling of pseudo-needs (Debord, 1987:33), through the sending of advances coordinated at the continuing of the delicate fa'ade of innovation.
Psychogeographic offenses
Against this foundation, the act of psychogeography was created by the Situationists , with for reason that of uncovering how such changes were effectsly affecting the inhabitants that harbored those, and recuperate the feeling of uncertainty that portrayed the manner by which self-depicted distanced subjects identified with their surroundings. In spite of the way that psychogeography at first developed as a 'progressive system', it regardless was quickly executed by and by non-Situationist gatherings and was the object of both political and unopinionated motivation past of the francophone world (see Richardson, 2015; Eerola, 2004; Giungato, 2004).
While the Situationists were progressively worried about the political impacts of the justification and division of the visual request (see Scott, 1998), one part of the training focused on the investigation of landscapes, considering concentrating the 'exact laws and explicit impacts of the geological condition, deliberately sorted out or not, on the feelings and conduct of people's (Debord, 1955). This brings out Mitchell's (1988) record of British majestic endeavors in Egypt, in which he depicts the different ventures of clarity and the requesting of urban space attempted with for target that of requesting social conduct which he names, the task of 'enframing'. Such undertakings of urban course of action can in addition be investigated through Foucauldian viewpoint of governmentality and narrow power (Foucault, 2012), and their arrangement to a limited extent answerable for the balanced schismogenetic winding. On the off chance that the new visual request was the trademark of request and congruity, at that point an act of dissidence would take-up the attributes of imagination and refutation of the qualities diffused by the decision request, henceforth the significance of thought of 'innovative refusal' (Graeber, 2013).
The certainty of the investigation of psychogeography was to develop elective maps of the urban areas celebrating various agendas, destinations and ambiences existing in these (see Sinclair's creative mappings of the 'feelings and humors' of London, 2002), in the light of uncovering the consistently changing perspectives. This semi animism is very much delineated by Vidler's work (2002), which investigates the connection between dread, tension and offense to the feel of room and the 'imago' of design. The advanced subject is, he contends, 'trapped in spatial frameworks outside his ability to control' (Vidler:1) that have brought about the joining of contemporary types of psychopathology, for example, anorexia, agoraphobia and nervousness, and the severe states of the megalopolis. Moreover, Simmel's The Metropolis and the Mental Life (1903) explains on the mental impacts of urban hyperstimulation has yielded among the populace certain blas' characteristics, launched by the triviality, grayness and lack of interest the two structures and individuals from the scene society came to immerse themselves into.
While from a mental point of view it may be contended that members are really anticipating their own passionate states onto outer scenes and spaces, and in this way building certain acquainted thoughts in connection to these, the center embraced here stresses the manner by which those inner states are established inside explicit social and recorded elements, for example, anomie, distance from urban changes and the exhibition, and how psychogeography - all the more explicitly the custom of la D'rive-has remedial impacts in reconfiguring the person's relationship to these.
Aside of a urban investigation, the other element of the psychogeographic practice is thusly rather deep down coordinated, and held for target that of arriving at a condition of passionate bewilderment, through a floating through afunctional city spaces. Quintessentially, with its progression of acts, its motions, its walks, its experiences, la D'rive was a journey for mental deterritorialization (Deleuze, 1977) and investigation of heterotopic spaces (Foucault, 1986). The training looked to challenge domineering thoughts of request, discernment, structure that, as per the Situationists, the decision classes had come to write in the city scenes, and destroy the shopper weariness which had come to adulterate present day social connections and arrive at its place of perfection through the general public of exhibition.
The techniques utilized for la D'rive started in Debord's nearby investigation of Saint-Germain delinquents, whose presence and habitus spoke to emblematically a disruption to that of the ruling framework: by receiving their propensities, their 'ethnos', he contended that one could violate the practical utilization of spaces (counting an interruption of traffic and item flow) and Protestant originations of time. All things considered, various strides to pursue were sketched out to guarantee viability of the training: the individuals who participate in it ought to set out on a spontaneous voyage enduring the span comparable to that 'between two times of rest' (Debord, 1958), in which the 'tasteful forms of engineering and topography unconsciou

Q: Sequel default example fails when switched to postgres adapter I'm trying to run the Sequel example from http://sequel.rubyforge.org/. Everything works fine on sqlite, but fails when I switch to postgres.
This is the connection code:
DB = Sequel.connect(:adapter=>'postgres', :host=>'localhost', :database=>'testing', :user=>'postgres', :default_schema=>'sequel')

This is the error I get:
postgres.rb:145:in `async_exec': PG::Error: ERROR:  relation "items" does not exist (Sequel::DatabaseError)
LINE 1: INSERT INTO "items" ("price", "name") VALUES (12.45377636338...

I'm suspecting that the issue is Sequel trying to execute INSERT INTO "items" instead "sequel.items", even though :default_schema is correctly set.
Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Edit - this is the code used:
require "rubygems"
require "sequel"

# connect to an in-memory database
#DB = Sequel.sqlite
DB = Sequel.connect(:adapter=>'postgres', :host=>'localhost', :database=>'testing', :user=>'postgres', :default_schema=>'sequel')

# create an items table
DB.create_table :items do
  primary_key :id
  String :name
  Float :price
end

# create a dataset from the items table
items = DB[:items]

# populate the table
items.insert(:name => 'abc', :price => rand * 100)
items.insert(:name => 'def', :price => rand * 100)
items.insert(:name => 'ghi', :price => rand * 100)

# print out the number of records
puts "Item count: #{items.count}"

A: Looks like you're missing the password in the connect method (that's the only difference from the documentation example). Its common for the password to just be the username, so try that if you're not sure what the password is.
It's also suggested to use a different postgresql user with each project, which also makes naming the user intuitive (the project name.) That avoids potentially clashing names.
Anyway, see if this works:
DB = Sequel.postgres 'testing', host: 'localhost', default_schema: 'sequel',
       user: 'postgres', password: 'postgres'

Kim Kardashian Teases Concealer Line With KKW Beauty — See Here!
Like sister, like sister! It looks like Kim Kardashian may be following in younger sibling Kylie Jenner's footsteps. In a series of Instagram posts, the KKW Beauty founder teased a new product — and from the looks of the snaps, it's set to be a line of concealers. Kim, of course, is already selling contour kits, both creme and powder, and most recently launched her Ultralight Beams Collection, which consisted of powder highlights and glosses.
In the videos posted to her Instagram story, the 37-year-old is getting her makeup done by Mario Dedivanovic, better known as MakeupByMario on social media. "New product alert," Kim says in the video as Mario applies concealer to her under-eye. "Mario and I are doing a tutorial!" Mario posted the completed look on his Instagram and wrote in the caption, "I used some of her new products launching soon @kkwbeauty. For eyes, I mixed ultralight beams pigment and gloss." Though neither of the beauty gurus explicitly said the new product was concealer, that's our best guess!
While there still aren't too many details about the launch of Kim's products, it's clear she has a lot to live up to in terms of inclusivity. And beauty gurus like Manny MUA and Laura Lee are seemingly gearing up to review the products! "2 hotties in 1 pic," Manny tweeted, replying to the snap of Kim and Mario. Laura added, "I'm excited." Well, we're excited too — and we're ready to spend money on concealers we probably don't need!

The National Army Museum, along with the help of the New Zealand Lotteries Commission, has developed a travelling World War I exhibition which is to tour around the country visiting over 25 destinations throughout New Zealand. The exhibition aims to bring the stories of the brave soldiers who fought in World War I back home to the communities where their journey began.
Just like the thousands of Patriotic Associations around New Zealand 100 years ago, the knitters and crafters of New Zealand have answered the 'call to yarn'. The National Army Museum in Waiouru is delighted to announce they have reached the target of 18,166 hand-crafted poppies to commemorate all those soldiers who died in World War One. In fact the enthusiasm of New Zealand's knitters has been so great that the museum now has over 30,000 poppies in total.
Museum staff have been touched by the overwhelming response and the numerous stories of personal tributes to family members who served. As a result of the response staff decided it was appropriate to extend the initial 'call to yarn' with another project named "The Last Post". This is to become a tribute to all other men and women who have been lost to war and conflict outside World War One and represents a further 12,309 (based on the museum's Tears on Greenstone roll of honour database).
Currently a team of dedicated volunteers are carefully hand sewing these wonderful poppy tributes for the World War One project onto specially made hessian panels in preparation for permanent display in the museum's 'Roimata Pounamu Tears on Greenstone Memorial'. It is planned that this will be completed in time for ANZAC Day.
Once this is completed the design of the Last Post display of poppies will be finalised.
Thanks to all those who have made such a heartfelt tribute to New Zealand's fallen heroes. Currently several panels can be seen on display in the museum's greenstone memorial.
See the progress of the project on Facebook.

Dooley Wilson played Sam, the cheerful piano player and sidekick to saloonkeeper Rick Blaine in the classic 1942 film Casablanca. He was the Sam in the famously misremembered line "Play it again, Sam" -- a phrase which was never actually spoken in the film. Wilson, an African-American, was a drummer and singer who led his own band in the 1920s, touring nightclubs in London and Paris. In the 1930s he took up acting for good, playing supporting roles onstage and in a series of modest films. Casablanca, in which he sang the romantic tune "As Time Goes By" to Humphrey Bogart as Rick and Ingrid Bergman as the beautiful Ilsa Lund, was by far Wilson's most famous role. His other films included My Favorite Blonde (1942, with Bob Hope), Stormy Weather (1943, with Lena Horne and the Nicholas Brothers), and the 1951 western Passage West.
Wilson sang his own part in Casablanca, but his piano playing was dubbed by a studio pianist… According to Roger Ebert's commentary on the Casablanca DVD, Wilson got the nickname "Dooley" from playing vaudeville Irish characters in whiteface makeup.

So it came to a point where I needed to choose a Hypervisor.
The choices (from the free ones) appeared to be Vmware's offerings, either vSphere 4.1 or vSphere 5.0 or a free hypervisor such as Xen or Virtualbox.
Vmware's offerings are touted as Tier-1 Hypervisors. That is, the hypervisor itself runs on the bare metal. Whereas KVM or Virtualbox are Tier-2 Hypervisors – relying on an underlying OS kernel.
This is where I began to hit Vmware's limits on the 'free' aspects of ESXi.
My server has 8 Cores, 48GB Memory and a 2.7TB Disk Array.
ESXi v5.0 (or whatever they mean to call it now – deliberately blurring the feature set of their free product with their paid-for product) has a limitation of 32GB RAM, anything above that is unusable to the OS.
Well, OK, I'm not going to waste 16GB of memory for the sake of being on a Tier-1 Hypervisor.
ESXi v4.1 doesn't have the memory limitation, although it appears to have fewer features (I was really interested in the PVLANs for instance, but it appears that those are paid-for only features as well!). Never the less, I tried it out – and well what do you know it has a lmitation of 750GB for local storage!
A further irksome issue I had with Vmware in testing was when I was trying to set up their Networking. I essentially wanted to implement multiple subnets, with a single interface bridged to one of the physical interfaces on the host server. Should be simple enough, no? Well think again – when I tried to do this Vmware insisted that I assign an IP address to this interface. Why? It's a bridged interface, it doesn't need an IP address, it doesn't necessarily need to even run IPv4 – I might want to run IPX/SPX or IPv6 instead – in any case the bridge does not need to be assigned any Layer-3 address.
I googled on this networking faux-pas and found other people asking the same question, why does it need an IP address, with people giving ill-informed answers that "because it's the bridge interface". Nonsense, these people don't know their networking.
Well, too many questions, not enough answers, no good documentation.
So I opted for Virtualbox – turns out it has a pretty good Vboxheadless mode which allows me to run all my VMs through a VRDP session to their consoles (essentially using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Services protocol RDP). I intended nearly all my VMs to be Linux based, and be primarily controlled via SSH – so this is fine for me.
There is also a companion project called phpVirtualbox – which provides a near identical GUI to the Virtualbox interface via a Web Browser.
It should also be noted that, surprisingly, Virtualbox is probably more dynamically controlable via the command line than it is via either of the GUI interfaces – and is very suited to a roll your own VM Hypervisor set up.

Well, we just had that moment and you would too after taking a look at this kid from China, who is going viral for being a badass hairdresser.

In the viral clip, one can see the boy, who is from Suining, Sichuan province, swiftly trims and straightens a woman's hair like a professional hairdresser. He even gives them a perfect blowout and we just can't stop looking at the video.
Jiang caught up on these skills because he grew up in a hair salon, where he learnt it from his parents. But even after that we have to agree, hands down, he is nailing his job.
A traffic police constable in Guwahati became a social media star on Sunday for exemplary dedication to duty amid a thunder shower that lashed Assam's capital around noon.
Mithun Das, who was manning the busy Basistha traffic intersection, stood amid heavy rain without a raincoat in an uncovered podium directing traffic without thinking twice about running for cover.
"My duty hours were from 7 am to 12 pm. The storm started around 5 minutes before noon, but since my replacement hadn't come, I continued my job in the rain for nearly 20 minutes," Das said.
"It could be a bit scary with the heavy rain, wind and lightning to stand on an uncovered podium. But for us duty comes first," added the constable from Karbi Anglong district who joined Assam Police in 2015.
Dedication is thy name!
We salute AB Constable Mithun Das (Basistha PS) of @GuwahatiPol , for his exceptional devotion towards duty and showing us how dedication can turn a storm into a sprinkle.

Videos of Das clicked by motorists and bystanders have gone viral on Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media platforms lauding the constable for his act.
"Traffic gets more congested during rains and Das who was responsible for managing the busy Basistha intersection showed that no matter what the circumstances are, duty comes first," said Guwahati police commissioner Deepak Kumar.
"We are very pleased with Das's exemplary act and will soon award him," he added.
The Assam Police's Twitter handle praised the constable as well. "Dedication is thy name. We salute Constable Mithun Das (Basistha PS) for his exceptional devotion towards duty and showing us how dedication can turn a storm into a sprinkle."
Sunday's thunder showers accompanied by lightning led to three deaths in separate locations in the state.
Snakes on planes and snakes inside bathrooms are old news. Now, it's lizards making such random appearances and if you're scared, the pictures will only make it worse. A post shared on the Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Facebook page details the occurrence of a huge green lizard in a South Florida bathroom. And people on the social networking site have a quite a few reactions about the whole thing.
"Can you imagine lifting the toilet seat and finding this?" says the post. It goes on to show a picture of the lizard swimming in the toilet bowl. The post explains that the owner had walked into the bathroom and suddenly realised there was a guest in their house. The owner eventually called in for some help.
"Our crews took the lizard outside and released him without harm!" says the post. "Only in South Florida," it says further.
The post also includes a picture of the lizard after it was removed from the strange spot.
Since being shared on march 15, the post has collected over 230 shares. Several people have posted their reaction the situation.
"Oh HELL NO, not touching it!" says one Facebook user. "Don't use your toilet in the dark at night people!" says another. "If I found this in my toilet, I would sell my house and move out of Florida immediately!" says another.
We all have been through it – relationships ending on a sour note. And that hurts. Hurts a lot. But what hurts, even more, is knowing that your ex is getting married to someone and that someone isn't you. Well, our Abhinav is going through the same roller coaster of emotions. Crying over his ex's marriage, remembering her and feeling shit. But accompanying him are his friends – Badri and Sachin. How do you think the situation is going to turn out? Watch TSP's Ex Ki Shaadi to find out.

Third Week of RC

Day 3: Mistakes!

March 6, 2019

        Recurse has several needlepoint hangings upstairs that have Recurse-y sayings on them, such as "You can do a lot in a day," "Make mistakes," and "Ask Anything."  While I believe in the mottos, I sometimes have a hard time living them, particularly making mistakes, or admitting when I make mistakes.  So for today's blog, I'm going to admit that I took the wrong subway line today.  It happens.  (And, dang, did it happen for awhile.  That was a slow line.)

Yarra is a locality in the Goulburn Mulwaree Council, New South Wales, Australia. It is located about 18 km southwest of Goulburn, 84 km northeast of Canberra and 213 km southwest of Sydney. It lies at the intersection of the Federal Highway and the Hume Highway. At the , it had a population of 173. Yarra railway station was a station on the Main Southern railway line from 1875 to the 1970s. A small settlement grew up around the railway station and the Hume Highway, parts of which were demolished during road widening in the 1970s. It had a public school from 1869 to 1970, operating as a "half-time" school until 1873.

information as to what is needed and where to send it?
like to help in anyway possible.
I was sent this mail from a contact in India, hope it helps. Although it gives details on how to send money (i'm aware that many people don't have the means to do that), it also gives some contact details for people who may be able to help you get supplies to Sri Lanka. God bless. Fiona.
Sewalanka Foundation has launched an appeal for the people affected by the tsunami in Sri Lanka.
Sewalanka Foundation has offices in all the coastal districts affected by the tsunami and is receiving urgent requests from survivors. Those that have survived are now in urgent need of basic supplies like cooked food, drinking water, dry rations and cooking utensils.


I disagree I have received many good maps, but yes lately most are for 14 gold, now split and tax that. Pre wipe there was no split. I mean there needs to be balance not every small company should advance to 100000 gold, but cmon.
i have beds on A9 in official PVE server and on A10. But so far have not been able to claim land. How do you claim an island for a company? Is it possible to claim land in PVE? Thanks!
Have the Linux binaries been updated to 100.81? Mine are still showing 100.61 for some reason, and steamcmd says I'm at the latest revision (3748843).
First off thanks for the response. Despite what others say/think in my experience you (GS) have good communication with players, listen to feedback, and I think that is a very good thing. That said I think they need to be more than just "getting them to a better place". Getting them to a better place implies they are actually functioning. These are not functioning. They "technically" work, but a 14k upkeep cost for selling honey, at 1 gold a minute is not even functioning. No one can actually use vendors right now. That is straight broken and unusable. There is NOBODY, that can use these, sell things, and make a profit of any kind. My island upkeep is insanely lower. So you can own and upkeep an entire island, but if you want to sell honey its going to cost thousands and thousands of gold in upkeep? I think this issue needs to be bumped up in priority as basically every one wants to be able to do this. And nobody can.
I cant see anyone being happy about this in pvp?
With how you can pump up your ship weapon damaged now, the slight HP buff on whales isn't really an issue.
This isn't new, I dropped a yard in front of somebody my first week of the game.
Your are not making a real sloop in 10 minutes solo with metal tools. This is simply not true. I have timed how long it takes to make a ramshackle multiple times. I have made real sloops in freeports (parts, then shipped them to where I was going). Also note you need to make the shipyard as well. Also note you need a loom and to make the sail(s) as well. No way is that happening in 10 minutes, and not 20 minutes. You are exaggerating to attempt to make your point. Record making a real sloop with metal tools in 10 minutes. I simply do not believe that is true. Mabey 20 minutes, but not 20 making a full sloop and a shipyard, and a loom, and the sails (which you have to have). But considering the ramshackle has half the weight capacity of a shipyard sloop, and a little over half the plank health it still seems fairly balanced for what you get with how much effort put in. Rafts have a weight capacity of 800. Ramshackle sloops have 1600 weight capacity compared to a shipyard sloops 3300. The plank health difference is a bit over half. These are meant to be starter ships.
I can see the claim system changing again slightly because it just doesn't work right now. Nobody is going to come off lawless and leave their homes to live on flag islands, they will have the fear of being evicted within 24hrs. Costs nothing to be nice to someone who comes to an island to tame for example, I'd be willing to give something in return but I don't take kindly to someone who just removes your taming pen when they've said you have 24hrs to tame, log in 8 hours later and it's all gone without warning. People like that are not nice people, I mean in our grid we have limited gems and I was lucky enough to build right next to a big high rock that has gems on it. I built ladders to the top with a cliff platform and left a sign with "access to gems, free for all" that's the sort of thing I like to see, help each other out. I've known people who have blocked all gems off which isn't nice to see but some people just don't like to help one another which is a shame.
Because there are many land lord and not all of them are Mr friendly 9000 . Sure you may be nice to tenant but that doesn't speak for other land lord .
Solo players do play in groups. They just don't join companies. (said for the 50th time) Here's another guy with a private hotline to the devs apparently. (After they said they were making changes to make the game more friendly to solos and small groups) It doesn't make things more true the more you repeat them. Otherwise I'd be rich now.
QFT. The saying "The sun never sets on the British Empire" wasn't because the British Empire was just one guy so tall sunlight hit him in the middle of the night in London.
All I see is a bunch of whining and crying from some trollbabies. Listen kiddos, the world doesn't revolve around you like your helicopter parent's taught you. Learn to play with others and take things as they are while working to promote positive change. Also, I never said the game was without flaws. It has plenty of flaws. Our company finds them daily and report them to the Developers. Things are being fixed and worked on more than you know. If you don't like it, go find another sand box to play with and let the people that are trying to be constructive continue to test the game and have fun. Also, correlating the drop in population to the current claim system is a complete fail. The drop in population happened PRIOR to the current claim system. It was due to the wipe announcement and then the corresponding delay. If you look at the the numbers since March, the peak was 9,331 in March and within the last 30 days it has risen to 12,298. I also know that some people are waiting until the NA PvE server is released to come back and test the new system. So, saying that 50% of people don't want to settle on someone else's land is completely false.

The Circus Queen Murder (1933) Review, with Adolphe Menjou

Released by Columbia | Directed By Roy William Neill
A married circus performer is having an affair and everyone wants in on it.
A dog is found murdered with its throat slit. "Well, a dog named Choo Choo has got to take its chances!"
"It's a well known fact that cannibals are different from ourselves in their dietary conditions."
"I'm keeping a bullet for myself."
The end is nuts. But, alas, we'll have to get to that.
The Circus Queen Murder: Going With the Flow
"Cigarette, Kelly? You know the modern circus dates back to Ancient Rome. In those days, the word circus was synonymous with blood. Tragedy. Tonight, the tent is empty."
"And tomorrow?"
"All these empty seats will be filled with people."
"What are they going to get for their money?"
"I wish I knew."
Here's a handy tip that will serve you well in life: don't confuse Adolphe Menjou and William Powell. Both mustached and both looking pretty good in formal wear, Powell's terse playfulness doesn't line up perfectly with Menjou's low key snark.
Powell had had a couple of successes under his belt in the forms of Philo Vance mysteries in the early 1930s, with titles like The Canary Murder Case, The Greene Murder Case, The Benson Murder Case, and (soon enough) The Kennel Murder Case. Columbia, not wanting to waste a dapper man with a mustache who could play detective just as well, found the procedurals of Anthony Abbott and let loose. The result, as they would say, is incomparable.
Oh, hey. Pre-Code dog watch!
Menjou plays Thatcher Colt, a New York police commissioner who has had it up to his navel with beating down bootleggers. He decides to take a nice long vacation to a town he selects randomly by throwing his knife at a map. With him, he brings Miss Kelly (Ruthelma Stevens), a secretary who is snappy but has not-so-subtle romantic aspirations.
They arrive in town the same day as the circus, which is having that usual issue that circuses have with super sexy circus performers. La Tour (Greta Nissen) is a high wire acrobat who owns half of the company. Unfortunately she's married to the brooding Flandrin (Dwight Frye) and not the sexy devil Sebastian (Donald Cook).
Thatcher is alerted to this by Jim Dugan (Harry Holman), the circus' portly promotions man. It's mostly of importance because someone has been throwing threatening notes at the circus performers, and La Tour gets in a bit of trouble when her horse is spooked. Someone is out to ruin the circus, and only Thatcher's deducting skills can save the proverbial day.
This movie looks nice. I like looking at things that look nice.
Spoilers.
Not that there is much of a mystery. Flandrin disappears in an apparent murder, but Thatcher immediately deduces it as a feint– he's killed La Tour's pet dog and used it to make it appear as if he was abducted. Flandrin then dresses in blackface as a cannibal to bide his time, which Thatcher lets him do. The titular murder doesn't happen until nearly 2/3rds of the way into the film when Flandrin shoots a poisoned dart from the top of the tent and ends La Tour's life while she's center stage. Miss Kelly is the only one who catches on to what he's done and Flandrin soon has her as a hostage. He lays out his terms of how the story will play out to Thatcher at gunpoint– he's going to murder Sebastian and then kill himself. Thatcher agrees, then plays a trick to save Sebastian so that Flandrin thinks he's succeeded.
Our hero's solution to save the day involves letting a crazy man kill himself in the middle of the circus, in front of hundreds of kids.
No, really.
Weee, PTSD and peanuts for all!
The Circus Queen Murder is more of a crime movie than a mystery and while it looks good and has some snappy dialogue, the interminable footage of circus work keeps rolling on and a general overall malaise seems to emanate from Menjou. He figures out the plot pretty early but does nothing about it. Instead he's a witness as much as the audience, which, when we know what's happening, is kind of annoying for a lead character. Worse, Thatcher's tricks that he uses– reading lips, speaking German, throwing a knife at one point– all seem to be random attributes stuck on in hopes that it will make him interesting. It's like if Flemming wrote that James Bond was the world's greatest pole vaulter– well, okay, you can take that two ways, but if they weren't using an euphemism, what point would it serve? To set up a scene where James Bond pole vaults? And if he doesn't pole vault, why even mention it at all?
Some of the rest of the cast makes up for it. Ruthelma Stevens, as Miss Kelly, has enough to chew on to be worth watching, though her aching longing for Menjou's character is met with a blank wall. There's a sense that the movie actually wants to be about her character, as Thatcher keeps her under his wing and she seems to be the only one with any empathy or smarts. She outwits Flandrin in act three by actually making use of Thatcher's lip reading skills (and I'm sure she wishes she knew how good he was at pole vaulting), but Thatcher's insistence on letting Flandrin finish out his planned suicide is just… well, ludicrous. There's a really sad, smart ending that could have been in that denouement, but it sure as hell wasn't there.
A movie tailor made for Dwight Frye peeping enthusiasts.
Also of note, Dwight Frye as the killer Flandrin has that perfect amount of scene chewing nastiness that makes him really come across as unhinged. He pretty much waltzes off with the proceedings, which makes his smug, satisfied ending where he kills himself the best (and undoubtedly most incredulous) part of the movie.
End Spoilers.
Director Roy William Neil (Black Moon) works around stock footage and a wooden Menjou to little avail, but, hey, the movie looks alright. The Circus Queen Murder, while fitfully amusing, seems to only condone the worst parts of human nature while missing much of any humanity in itself. It's no Philo Vance film– hell, it's barely anything.
If the film's opening shot looks familiar, that matte painting of New York is most famous as a representation of Warren William's ego in Skyscraper Souls. If any of the shots of the circus look familiar, though, a good chunk of them that don't contain this film's principles are from another Columbia production, 1930's Rain or Shine. If you've seen Rain or Shine, it's actually pretty distracting, too.
Silents and Talkies talks about Ruthelma Stevens' great performance as Ms. Kelly, and they also talk about her confounding obscurity.
Noirish talks about the film in terms of cinematographer John H. August, who also did work on Man's Castle, Twentieth Century, and Oscar nominated turns on Gunga Din and Portrait of Jenny.
A shot from Rain or Shine. Is that Clarence Muse? Who knows. … oh, wait, IMDB knows, and yes it is.
Greenbriar Picture Show talks about the film's reception and how it was rather well budgeted for a genre that would soon become the province of mostly B-pictures. Nice poster there too.
Mondo 70 talks about the portrayal of cannibals in the film and the origins of the movie from a series of novels by Anthony Abbott. But this is the part that made me laugh, so I'm quoting it:
Turns out that Josie's been cheating on Flandrin with a third aerialist, the Great Sebastian. Sebastian is no Cornel Wilde, however. Rather, he's played by that seductive devil, Donald Cook. If you remember Cook as Jimmy Cagney's semi-shellshocked, self-righteous brother from The Public Enemy, you may be wondering about that "seductive devil" idea, but remember: he's competing with Dwight Frye!
This film is available on YouTube.

I think we're very much on the same wavelength concerning this movie. Certainly not an Oscar contender.
Danny · December 1, 2014 at 10:48 am
No. It's too bad, too, it has a really strong start but the last half is just really bad with the protagonist doing less than nothing to stop a murder spree. It's pretty lame.

We built two models for Beeline Group to use in their presentation to help the manufacturers present their products to retail buyers in a new and inviting way. The NovaForm Showroom model was built at a smaller scale to show the layout, flow, and spa-like experience of the new showroom. The NovaForm Pod display unit was built at a larger scale, allowing us to use real wood for the Wenge wood shelves and sewn fabric for the pillows and the bedding. We also modeled all of the structural elements and hardware of the display unit, which allowed us to show the details of the custom design and the actual finishes and textures—in particular, the effect of the light passing through the frosted center panel. These models illustrate the kinds of details that are so difficult to get a real feel for with two-dimensional renderings.

Engineer's reunion to foster engineering research
Engineers from Moratuwa and Peradeniya universities have joined hands to synergize collective strength of Sri Lankan engineers across the globe to collaborate and support engineering innovations and research in the country. Moratuwa Peradeniya Engineers Reunion was formed in 2013 with the above objective and Mora Pera Reunion 2014 and the Inaugural Moratuwa Peradeniya Reunion Oration will be held on August 2, 2014 at the Postgraduate Institute of Science (PGIS) auditorium in at University of Peradeniya.
Eng. Ranjith Premasiri Secretary Ministry of Ports and Highways, Chairman Road Development Authority and Chairman National Water Supply and Drainage Board, a distinguished engineer passed out from University of Peradeniya will be gracing the occasion as the Chief Guest. The Inaugural Moratuwa Peradeniya Engineer's Reunion Oration will be delivered by Eng. Dr. Priyath B. Wicrama, a distinguished graduate from University of Moratuwa. Oration followed by Reunion Lunch.
Eng. Damith Hettihewa, President of Mora Pera Engineer's Reunion and Chairman Organizing Committee said , "The objective of the reunion is to create a common meeting and networking platform for engineers from the country's two prestigious engineering faculties, and now spread across the world. One of the noble and long term ambitions of the Mora Pera reunion is to synergize the collective strength of Sri Lankan engineers across the globe to create a fund to support engineering research and innovations in the country. We plan to launch the research support fund at this year's reunion and this will be small beginning of a much longer journey to support engineering innovations in the country.
"It is expected to be a great opportunity for engineers from various generations to re-establish contacts and network. The outcome of such collaborations will no doubt enhance their collective contribution to the Sri Lankan society. This is a very timely initiative. Being an engineering graduate from University of Moratuwa, I look forward to meet my batch mates as well as fellow engineers from both universities. said Eng.

OFCCP Final Rule For Procedures to Resolve Potential Employment Discrimination Published
By Laura A. Mitchell on November 10, 2020
Posted in Regulatory Update
As we previewed last week, OFCCP's rule codifying procedures for resolving allegations of potential discrimination through the use of a Pre-Determination Notice (PDN) or Notice of Violation (NOV) has been officially published in the Federal Register.
The main purpose of rule is to codify practices to "provide contractors with greater certainty" about the procedures OFCCP follows during compliance evaluations. Some of these procedures were previously were imbedded in the sub-regulatory Federal Contractor Compliance Manual (FCCM) and other agency directives. The new rule also clarifies and explains the different types of evidence the Agency uses to support a PDN or NOV, as well as codifies the option available to contractors to expedite the conclusion of a compliance evaluation before a PDN or NOV is issued.
The final rule contains several substantive changes from the rule the Agency proposed in 2019. These changes:
Clarify the evidentiary standards that OFCCP must meet for the PDN must also be met for the NOV.
Establish the use of the terms qualitative and quantitative evidence to describe the type of evidence OFCCP must identify in support of a PDN or NOV. Specifically, replacing reference to non-statistical and statistical evidence with these broader, more encompassing terms.
Codify the use of the agency's consideration of practical significance in assessing potential violations and "help the agency ensure it is directing its efforts effectively."
Identify and differentiate procedures and burdens for disparate treatment versus disparate impact cases. This includes the requirement that OFCCP provide qualitative evidence for all disparate treatment cases and identify a policy or practice causing adverse impact with factual support for disparate impact cases. The proposed rule required qualitative (or anecdotal) evidence in cases only when the standard deviation was less than three. The final rule removes that threshold.
Establish OFCCP must explain the basis for its findings, and provide the model, variables used and explanation why variables were excluded from its analysis upon request of the contractor.
Provide the framework for contractors and OFCCP to explore early resolution procedures currently in use by OFCCP, as specifically set out in the Early Resolution Procedures program, during a review. The Agency was clear to point out that the final rule does not codify the process or the procedures themselves.
The final rule is largely seen as a positive development for the contractor community and goes to address the criticisms around transparency and certainty that have plagued the Agency for years. And, it may in fact prove to provide helpful guidance and support for contractors who are now faced with a change of administration looming on the horizon.
With the countdown to the anticipated "changing of the guard" underway, OFCCP is not sitting idly by. We expect to see additional rulemaking (specifically around religious exemptions) and other activities in the weeks to come so, as always, stay tuned for more.

Miknas. The story.
A thousand words. A picture or two.
Promoseven Holdings
A legend of his times
He is a man to watch! His passion for creativity and communication, and his love for humanity has led him to build an empire today. He spends his waking hours accomplishing that which he dreams of in his sleep. Meet the legend, Mr Akram Miknas, Chairman and Founder of Promoseven Holdings as he talks BTW down the amazingly illustrious journey of his life.
Tell us briefly about your early life, where you were born and brought up, any special memories.
I was born in a family of mixed background. My father was a famous jeweler in Lebanon and my mother was an intellectual and a school mistress. My mother died when I was 16 years old. I lived most of my life in Beirut, Lebanon; attended International College (IC) and American University of Beirut (AUB)- studied Business Administration majoring in Marketing.
When did you start work and how did you come to Bahrain?
I came to the Gulf – first to Dubai and then to Bahrain – as a result of the Lebanese War in 1975, and chose Bahrain as my home for family and growth.
How did the FP7/Promoseven come about?
I grew the business which I started in Lebanon with seven partners who later on resigned their partnership and I was left on my own.
Briefly trace the path of development of the company since its inception?
In Lebanon, I have built three local brands into regional brands and they all became extremely successful. I then came to the Gulf where I worked on the communication marketing plans, mostly on advertising, for Cathay Pacific first and then BMW, Gulf Air and Nivea.
How long have you been in Bahrain? What about the country do you like the most?
I've been in Bahrain for 40 years and I think Bahrain is the country I love most. My business now spans throughout the Arab world but I want to keep Bahrain as the seat to chair all my businesses around the Middle East.
How would you define 'Akram Miknas'? What are your passions?
Akram Miknas is a restless soul, extremely sincere to his passion for life and passion for achievement. I dream at night and as soon as I wake up, I work on making my dreams come true.
Do you think that advertising in Bahrain is at par/better/ worse than other parts of the world?
Like Bahrain, the advertising business is pretty small but quite sophisticated for a country of its size.
What are your passions?
I love swimming and humanity; because of humanity, I love antiques.
What, according to you, are the essential traits of a successful entrepreneur?
The traits for a successful entrepreneur are to be sincere in his pursuit, to be a good hunter and to be selective with the people who choose to work for.
What is your message to aspiring entrepreneurs of Bahrain?
My simple message to aspiring entrepreneurs of Bahrain is don't waste your time outside what you desire in terms of the realm of the kind of business you want to spend your life in and that every time you fail, you consider it a step for a new success.
The 710am to Bahrain. In the back.

Aging is a natural phenomenon of life, but generally no one likes it. People are worried about when they are look old and they want to look beautiful and younger. There are some tips which when applied make you look beautiful and younger.
Aging skin doesn't need harsh products. If your cleanser is too harsh, it will be hard for your skin to get benefited from its natural oils. Therefore this causes drying out of the skin and cause it to age more quickly. Women should moisturize their face any time if they want good skin.
It's important to give your skin a moisture. Dry skin ages more quickly. If it's not moisturized then we have to moisturize it to look fresh. If you are in doubt about which moisturizer you should buy (there are hundreds on the market), the try to look at reviews or try to find scientific research supporting the product. Do consult a doctor in this respect and whatever product he suggests you should for it.
Many moisturizers that are available in the market contain SPF protection. This is because it is very important to protect your skin from the UV rays to avoid sun-damage. The harmful sun rays is one of the main reasons that causes ageing. Such products will definitely protect you from skin cancer and your skin will be fresh if you use sun protection. Sun protection should be ensured by not only putting sun screen on your face but you should also apply on the top of your hands. This will prevent the spots on your hands look bad.
If you follow all these instruction then I am sure ageing can never come close to you and you will look young and charming.

Q: ROS: Rviz - publish point - subscriber - get x,y coordinates I am trying to get x,y coordinates from rviz and get it subscribed to a topic So when i do publish point and click on any free space in rviz i get its x,y,z coordinates in the topic /clicked_point I want to subscribe to these points and print it on the terminal. The code i have is a simple subscriber to the topic /clicked_point.
But when i run the code i get x,y as 0.0 and not the desired coordinates that i click.
Can someone help me please in looking at my code. I suspect it has to do something with the point stamped attributes.
Please let me know
Full code
 #!/usr/bin/env python
import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import PointStamped

Thanks in advance

A: You have to change your assignment of the variables in the callback function.
See
def callback(msg):
    x = msg.point.x
    y = msg.point.y
    z = msg.point.z
    rospy.loginfo("coordinates:x=%f y=%f" %(x,y))

Fir explanation the msg variable ahnded over as paramter for the callback function wraps the PointStamped msg type and can be unpacked seen above.

A: Here is your code modified and tested, Thank me later.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import PointStamped

global x,y,z
def callback(msg):
    rospy.loginfo("coordinates:x=%f y=%f" %(msg.point.x,msg.point.y))

Missing relics and a mysterious well. These are the things that have drawn your party to this idyllic region of the land. Why would someone take sacred objects, what do they have to do with each other…and why does the trail lead to a well in the middle of a lake?
Tales from Undermountain: The Plagued Apprentice
She ran. Where to or for how long, she really couldn't say. The little flame of her oil lamp sputtered and went out a few times. She'd snap her fingers and make the wick flare to life, but she may as well have ran blind. The hallways were pitch black with soot and choked with smoke, every turn was a guess and every corridor a gamble. Unnatural screams echoed from every direction. Left, right, left again, was this the south or north end of the labyrinth? She had no idea. The next turn brought her face to face with a doorway completely consumed in blue fire. The room beyond was so bright she had to look through her fingers at it. A shadow covered her, a shape in the doorway: a hulking creature with a wolf-shaped muzzle and enormous pincers for hands, wreathed in the same blue flames. The screams were getting closer behind her, too. They had her cornered, again. The demon slammed its shoulders through the narrow opening, splintering the wood and stone. She dropped the lantern and let the wand in her sleeve fall into her waiting hand. With a word of power and a gesture, she appeared in the familiar bedroom: stuffy and reeking of wood smoke. She'd have to try again tomorrow, if she could remember. During an exploration on the sixth level of Undermountain, a strange invisible creature leads to a series of collapsed chambers that hide a forgotten secret and one of the most devastating forces known to the multiverse. Marambra Nyghtsteel, the forgotten apprentice of Halaster Blackcloak, has been locked away for an age deep within Undermountain. What point and purpose her forced seclusion has, only Blackcloak may know. When a spell consuming blue fire, known as The Spellplague is trapped within the chambers, a series of events have left Marambra, lost in her madness, struggling to survive.

The ruined wizard tower in the Marsh of Chelimber may hold a clue to defeating the super-intelligent hill giant, Bad Fruul, and prevent him troubling the town of Parnast. To find the tower, adventurers must overcome the watery magic of the fetid marsh and discover or clear a route to the ruins of a previously lost tower.
How many times have you started a campaign and it dissolved before you reached the top tier? How many builds have you made, all of them assuming reaching level 20, but you have never managed to try them out? Put your regular campaign on hold and see what happens when PCs reach level 20! "Finders Keepers" is an epic Dungeons and Dragons adventure, set in Forgotten Realms and beyond. The stakes are high: the location of one of the legendary Books of Keeping has been discovered, and now various powers of the universe vie for control over that power… Devils, demons and fallen angels; the mighty shall fall and who is going to be left smelling the ashes? The adventure starts with a fight with an ancient red dragon. Then things escalate and your players will have their 20th level spells, powers, and skills tested! Battle the game's most powerful beings, visit distant planes and make world-shaping decisions! The fate of Toril is in their hands…
Myriad, City of Tiers
Myriad, a city originally devoted to magical research, has been hidden and isolated for nearly a thousand years. Now, it has rejoined the world and an unseen struggle is taking place within its walls. A party of adventurers has been invited to enter the city and assist in its reintegration. Myriad's secrets, however, run deep and dangerous.
Cruel Summer expands on the summer arc of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, adding two new factions, several colorful new NPCs and four new mapped locations. After the Cassalanter's Founders' Day celebration ends in death and destruction, their twin children are found to be missing. Waterdeep is in an uproar, the Cassalanters aren't talking and it falls to the party to solve the mystery of the childrens disappearance. Could it be connected to the sinister new faction taking root in the city? Who is the stranger whose corpse was left behind in the twins' bedroom? Is there a link to the surprisingly vicious Noble Council of Soapmakers? With this supplement, the PCs will have a chance to save the Cassalanter children from the terrible fate outlined in Dragon Heist, avoiding the "Trolley Dilemma" situation some players might not enjoy. It also incorporates elements of the Spring, Fall and Winter arcs, allowing the players to rub shoulders with Jarlaxle, Manshoon and the Xanathar.
Wearers of Flesh
Did you know there's a skeleton inside each of us? The players will find themselves in a community of scared anthropomorphic rabbits and exploring the lair of undead wizards looking for flesh to wear. There are opportunities for combat, roll play, puzzle-solving and exploration. This was written as a submission for the Summer Adventure Design Contest over at Bryce's Adventure Design Forum.
Icegate Keep
Jarl Aelfric Whitehand of Jotunspine, one of the Moonshae Isles, is not happy. His ward, Cordin Wainthrower, has disappeared. Clues imply that Cordin has headed for a ruined keep deep in the Giantspine Mountains. The characters are tasked by the jarl to track down Cordin and bring him back to safety – the Giantspines are filled with many dangers including the legendary Winter King, a fey of great power. Will the characters force Cordin to return to the keep or help him in his quest to restore a family heirloom? If they help him, they must face the chilling depths of the crypt of Icegate Keep. Icegate Keep is an adventure for the first tier, levels 1 to 4. The adventure includes full scaling recommendations for each level, as well as four pre-generated PCs at each of the four levels. The adventure is designed to be tough for the pre-gen PCs, who have little magic to brave the icy mountains. It is estimated to take 4-6 hours to play. The adventure has several new monsters including Ice Wights, Ice Zombies, Frostsnakes, and the infamous Winter King. New magic items are also included such as the greatsword Frostreaver, the ancient Snowbane dagger, the Horn of the Howling Wolf, and the Throne of the Winter King. There is a player handout outlining the legend of the Winter King and three battlemaps showing separate levels of the small keep.
The Tower Golem
Azaketh, a sly and industrious devil, prepares his revenge against his bitter enemy Zirkex. Naturally, the mortals affected by his schemes are mere pawns to further his goals. It is up to the heroes to stop Azaketh in his tracks before he takes control of a powerful weapon – Logrimm's Tower Golem. The Tower Golem is an adventure designed for 3-7 2nd to 4th level characters and is optimized for five characters with an average party level (APL) of 3. It's the second and final chapter of the saga about Logrimm's Tower Golem. The first chapter The Soulmonger isn't necessary to play The Tower Golem but it sets up the villian Azaketh and introduces NPCs that can help the characters conquer the Tower. The focus of The Tower Golem is set on roleplaying and interesting fights. In theory, the Tower is an infinite web of rooms and portals that the characters may never escape. However, eventually, the characters reach the end for one final encounter. You can change, interweave, or exchange the different parts as you see fit. There are several proposals and fully fleshed out levels in this document, but you may add your own adventures to the list!

Meet our VFL Port Melbourne Football Club player Fab Brancatisano whom we are sponsoring for the 2016 season!
As Just In Time Personal Training has continued to grow at a rapid rate, it has always been my ambition to give back as much as I can to the community and to the people that have helped shape my life and made a big impact. One such area of my life that played a massive part has been football. I played from the age of 10 through to about 34 before retiring and then having another year at the age of 36 and have just this season started playing superrules (old man's footy for over 35's!) at the age of 40. In that time I was a senior assistant coach for 3 years and a senior coach for 7 years.
The 2 clubs that had the biggest impact on my life were the Coburg and Port Melbourne VFL football clubs and as such I have decided to get involved by sponsoring an up-and-coming 22 year old player (Fab Brancatisano) whom just so happens to have spent a season at Coburg, had a season at Essendon in the VFL (whom I barrack for), this season is aspiring to play senior football all year at Port Melbourne and he is also in the midst of his Exercise Science degree at VUT. Those that know me, a Tertiary degree is a must-have item for all of my team at Just In Time Personal Training and who knows, Fab (pictured above) may one day even join our team! Incidentally Fab made the final 15 players selected for this season's Fox8 TV hit "The Recruit". Unfortunately he was hit by a bout of Gastro just upon entering the house and didn't land the elusive AFL contract, but you'll need to watch the upcoming season to see how it unravels.
My 2 years at Port Melbourne were amazing, I had a fantastic coach and mentor in Michael Boyd, whom to this day I hold in the highest regard. He wrote for me the most amazing reference back when I was 17 and it made me want to aspire to fulfil all that he had said about me at the time.
Here is a link to that very reference – Port Melbourne FC Reference
We won the only under 19 Premiership that Port Melbourne has ever won back in 1993 and I treasure that time and hence my connection to the club to this very day.
My wife (Lauren) and the kids watched many Port Melbourne games in 2015 and we now have an extra bonus of looking out for Fab and watching his progress. Below is Tyler pictured at Saturday's round 2 game where they had a win against Coburg.
Getting to the crux of this post, I thought I would share an interview that I had with Fab about all things footy, health, fitness, motivation, nutrition and goal setting. All of these things very relevant to Personal Training (ok, maybe not necessarily footy!). So here goes:
Justin: When did you realise you loved playing footy?
Fab: I was brought up in a house where my dad loved football and was a mad Essendon supporter and member before I was born and I then started Auskick when I was about 4 and I have loved every minute of it since then.
Justin: How does footy make you feel?
Fab: Playing football makes me feel happy. I know that when it's pre-season and there's no football, I miss it so much and when it's footy season it's the best time of the year pretty much.
Justin: What are the best parts of football and how do you keep motivated?
Fab: The best parts of footy are the camaraderie between your team-mates at the footy club and also the challenge of trying to get the best out of yourself. The way I keep motivated is setting goals week by week as well as long-term goals just to make sure the motivation stays there. You don't want to just have long-term goals but you want and need to have short-term goals too.
Justin: Why did you choose Port Melbourne?
Fab: After having a year off VFL, I was really hungry to get back into the VFL system and Port Melbourne being a stand alone club offers more opportunities, Gary Ayres being a great coach and when the club got in contact with me I couldn't really say no.
Justin: Is exercise and health a big part of your life and why?
Fab: Definitely. I love keeping fit. Obviously you have to be fit to play football and football is my main priority in life. I'm studying exercise and sports science at the moment and it links in and it plays a big part in where I want to get to in life.
Justin: What is your favourite aspect of keeping fit?
Fab: It would probably be just feeling good. The fitter you are, the better you feel and in turn the better you perform on the football field.
Justin: What do you choose to do for exercise away from football?
Fab: Away from football I do a bit of gym work to keep the strength up and I also do a lot of sprint training to make sure that my speed is there as well.
Justin: What is your approach to healthy eating and being at your best for football?
Fab: I have myself on a strict diet to maximise my performance whereby I pretty much have the same foods everyday and at the same times, starting with breakfast, some healthy snacks, lunch and then after gym I will have a protein shake and/or a protein bar and I pretty much have mum's home cooked meal at dinner. She knows what I like and that it has to be healthy.
Justin: How did you get involved in "The Recruit"?
Fab: I got an email about the show and opportunity which I applied for that and did a fair bit of testing to get onto it and then I was lucky enough to get a call up onto the show.
Justin: What was the recent experience on "The Recruit" like?
Fab: Overall it was a good experience, getting to be coached by Mick Malthouse, one of the greatest coaches and also being away from home as I have never lived away from home and had to fend for myself before. That was all good but it was also bad because I was sick throughout the whole experience and I feel if I was right I would probably still be in the house at the moment.
Justin: What are your footy aspirations longer-term?
Fab: I still have aspirations of making the AFL. I'm still only 22 but year by year it kind of gets harder but I am not going to give up on my dream of making the AFL just yet.
Justin: What are your career aspirations away from football?
Fab: As I have mentioned I am studying my exercise sports science degree at VUT so something in the sports stream but not exactly sure at this stage. Becoming a Dietitian or the nutrition area does interest me a bit at this stage or possibly physiotherapy but I will just focus on finishing my degree first and then see where it takes me.
It was a pleasure to meet with Fab and discuss his football and career plans and the team at Just In Time Personal Training wish him all the best for not only his season ahead but also his career in general.
A lot of good stuff to take from that and it does very much relate to all of us with respect to commitment, dedication, a positive attitude, routines and behaviours all married up with goal setting.

Home Scandal and Gossip Embry Riddle student planned mass shooting at Florida school
Embry Riddle student planned mass shooting at Florida school
John Hagins Embry Riddle student planned mass shooting at Daytona Beach school.
John Hagins Embry Riddle student planned mass shooting at Florida school. Plan foiled after classmates reported disturbing messages he'd shared on social media.
A Florida university student has been arrested after allegedly planning a mass shooting at his school only to be foiled by fellow classmates after reporting 'disturbing' messages they came across on social media.
John Hagins, 19, was taken into custody on Thursday at his apartment near the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus in Daytona Beach.
He had allegedly planned to carry out the mass shooting later that day on what was the final day of classes before winter break according to a release from the Daytona Beach Police Dept.
Police said they were able to intercede Hagins' plan after several classmates alerted campus security to threatening messages he'd posted on a Snapchat group message boasting of the imminent shooting.
In his messages, Hagins had allegedly laid out plans to smuggle a folding gun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition to the university in his backpack.
Planned to practise at nearby gun range before going to school to carry out plan
The gun, ammunition and backpack were all found inside Hagins' apartment when he was arrested, cops said.
Hagins is believed to have sold his car to purchase the gun and ammunition.
Daytona Beach Police Department Chief Jakari Young said Hagins had planned to go to a shooting range to practice with the firearm, before going to classes later that day.
'Today is the last day before winter break. Today is the last day. Today is finals. Final exams. So, this was all part of the plan because today the campus (would) be packed because everybody has to be there to take their final exam, so this was all in his plan,' Young told reporters.
Young said Hagins confessed to making the statements, adding: 'He may want to claim that it was all a joke and he wasn't serious about it. But we don't find anything funny about discussing a mass shooting on a campus. If he was looking for attention, he's got it.'
'He said once he was done at that firing range, he was going to campus to enact a Columbine,' the police chief added.
It wasn't immediately clear how long Hagins had been preparing his alleged plan.

Student had been failing classes
Investigators had yet to say what motivated the student but noted Hagins was in danger of failing classes and had been on academic probation and had received a traffic violation on campus on Wednesday.
Hagins has been charged with written threats to injure or kill, terrorism and attempted first-degree homicide.
Hagins has been suspended and will not be able to return to campus WESH reported.
John Hagins is expected to make a first court appearance Friday.
He is being held without bond at the Volusia County Jail.
