The Valuation Disconnect in Mobile
Well before the media anointed mobile the Next Big Thing, venture capitalists saw its potential. Consumers have rewarded VCs for their foresight by how quickly they've adopted non-voice mobile services over these past couple of years. The result has been a number of high-profile liquidity events this year starting with mobile ad network Millennial Media's IPO followed by Facebook's acquisition of Instagram for an eventual price of $736 million and record levels of gaming sector acquisitions led by mobile. With all this positive momentum it's not surprising that VCs continue to allocate an increasing share of deals and dollars to mobile startups as the overall number of investments has reached its highest levels since the dot-com days.
In contrast to this optimism in the venture community, Wall Street is down right negative towards mobile. Google's third quarter earnings announcement was met with a 8% drop in share price in part due to the increasing number of search queries being performed on mobile devices which is causing a deceleration in the company's revenue growth. And while Facebook's most recent quarterly earnings report resulted in the stock rising 20%, the company's market capitalization is still only at 60% of its peak value from its first day of trading. This is in largely due to concerns over Facebook's ability to monetize their growing mobile audience, which now consists of 600 million users, including 126 million of which use Facebook mobile exclusively.
The Typical Relationship
So why the disconnect in how these investors value mobile? It can be partially explained by how each type of investor evaluates investment opportunities to begin with. Venture capitalists, especially early stage ones, typically look to buy private, and thus illiquid, stock in pre-revenue companies with nascent, but potentially market-disruptive, ideas. As such, these investments may take up to 10 years to realize a return for their VCs, if at all. Contrast this with public market investors, such as hedge and mutual funds, which focus on the predictability of earnings and revenue growth relative to a company's market value and reevaluate their investments in real-time based on news and quarterly earnings reports since liquidity is readily available in these stocks.
So when VCs invest in start-ups, especially consumer-oriented ones that are ad-supported, they are betting not only on a company's potential to execute on their business plan but also on the formation of a rapidly growing market. Due to this, the focus is usually on customer acquisition and market share growth- not revenues. As a market begins to mature in size and opportunity, monetization solutions are developed, usually by other start-ups, allowing the entire market to benefit from the creation of new revenue streams. Companies that don't get acquired and can show they have a path to profitability have the opportunity to go public and in the process become industry bellwethers, using their new capital infusion and stock shares as currency to further enhance their market position.
Why Mobile Had Been Different
In the case of mobile, a couple of things happened that has affected the usual relationship between the private and public markets. First, the consumer adoption of mobile has outpaced any other technology in the history of the U.S.- including radio, TV and the internet. As such the native monetization solutions that were developed alongside these other technologies have been slow to scale in mobile because (1) the ad formats currently being used are largely re-purposed ad technologies from the desktop internet, such as banner and rich media ads, which were easy to launch with in an effort to capture mobile revenue early on and (2) advertisers have been slower to allocate advertising budgets to mobile than previous technologies due to this speed of growth- funds that would be used to help spur innovation in ad experiences on mobile devices.
The economic realities of increasing supply of mobile ad inventory coupled with relatively low demand for quality ad experiences thus far has resulted in effective CPMs that are 1/5th the price of desktop internet advertising. This disparity in monetization capabilities between mobile and desktop is forcing public investors to reevaluate consumer tech investments where mobile is becoming impactful enough from a usage perspective to potentially affecting earnings. With Millennial Media, a pure-play mobile ad network, and Pandora Media, whose ad-supported internet radio audience is now 75% mobile, still not profitable as publicly-traded companies, investors will continue to discount the mobile businesses of public consumer technology companies for the foreseeable future.
Without having proven their business models to Wall Street yet, Millennial and Pandora can't be considered mobile bellwethers, which is needed to preserve the private-to-public valuation relationship. Companies such as AdMob and Instagram might have achieved bellwether status if they hadn't been acquired before realizing their potential as stand-alone public companies. As such it might be left to existing ad-supported consumer internet tech leaders who are able to make the audience and business transition into mobile to perpetuate the ecosystem. Facebook, which has faced scrutiny over its performance as a public company in part due to mobile, has the momentum in user growth and sheer audience size to accomplish this transformation if they can prove their various mobile ad products can profitably scale. Because of this you could argue that Facebook actually went public too early, instead of too late, if you look at it as a mobile-first company. Probably the best positioned public company though is Google which acquired what is now the most popular mobile operating system in Android, largest mobile ad network in AdMob and is seeing mobile growth in its core search business as well as across YouTube.
Mobile is Really Two Different Experiences
The second part of the answer to the valuation disconnect is in the definition of mobile. When research companies forecast trends and investors talk about opportunities they always speak about mobile as if it were one cohesive distribution channel when in fact it is composed of two distinct experiences- smartphones and tablets. Being able to differentiate between the two is critical because of the activities each device is best suited for based on the physical limitations of each display as well as their monetization opportunities.
While Apple might be credited with ushering in the consumer mobile era with the launch of the iPhone in 2007, it was the launch of the App Store the following year that enabled smartphones to properly leverage their mobility as the physical limitations of mobile phone screens (3 to 5 inches in length) required task-specific applications be built instead of all-encompassing web experiences. Because of this, the most successful app experiences, as Benchmark Capital's Matt Cohler eloquently describes it, mimic a remote control in that they are easy to use and provide a specific utility to consumers. In turn, advertising on mobile phones need to abide by these same principles in order to be valuable.
Rare Crowd's Eric Picard described the current mobile ad format problem in a recent article while also presenting a possible solution for smartphones that is interruptive without being intrusive- and can be delivered at scale. For app developers that have large enough user-bases though, creating native experiences, especially ones that can leverage location, will always result in better value for both the advertiser and consumer. Expanding on sponsored ad units that Facebook (via Sponsored Stories) and Twitter (via Promoted Tweets) have popularized in the social activity stream and more recently on mobile, location-based social exploration platform Foursquare launched Promoted Updates for local merchants this past summer and crowd-sourced traffic app Waze launched its own self-service advertising platform earlier this month that focuses on solving users' location-based needs.
Like smartphones, Apple can also be credited with jump-starting the tablet market a mere 3 years ago. The company was prescient in introducing the iPad as a tool for consuming media as users have made watching TV shows, playing games and reading the primary uses for the device. This makes sense when you consider the screen size of tablets (ranging from 7 to 10 inches) allows consumers to replicate the offline experience of reading a magazine or watching television in a more convenient and personal format than traditional computers allow for. Because of this, advertising on mobile tablets can be interruptive like traditional media and less concerned with other vectors such as location since most people are using their tablets at home and as a second screen complement to watching television. That means online video and rich media interstitials, which are higher-valued ad units than traditional banner ads, will work with minimal refactoring compared to smartphone ad experiences. That doesn't mean there isn't an opportunity for companies to innovate around the ad experience as start-ups like Kiip are proving by rewarding user engagement and retention within mobile apps with real world rewards.
With tablets expected to outsell PCs by next year, focusing efforts on this part of the mobile market might be the most prudent move for consumer tech companies with mobile audiences since the advertising experience most closely resembles the desktop internet from both a format and value perspective. The smartphone advertising market will take longer to scale simply because of the utility-oriented nature of the user experience.
As these advertising solutions sort themselves out though, so should the discrepancy between public and private market investor valuations around ad-supported business models. As start-ups fill these gaps in the consumer mobile space with monetization solutions that prove to be effective, so to will public investors get comfortable with the long-term value mobile users have to offer, which, at the end of the day, will benefit everyone involved in growing the value of the mobile industry.

Facebook's Effect on Consumer Internet IPOs
Regardless of whether or not you believe in the long-term viability of Demand Media's content creation platform (more widely referred to as a "low-cost content farm"), one thing is certain: there is a healthy demand for consumer internet stocks. Having priced its offering above the expected range of $14 to $16 per share last week, Demand Media (trading under the ticker symbol DMD on the New York Stock Exchange) ended up 33% on its first day of trading, valuing the company at $1.5 billion- the highest market capitalization for an internet company since Google's IPO in 2004. Neither the company's questionable account practices around how it amortizes its content costs, nor Google's announcement that it would take stronger action against low quality content sites and content farms (which could also include the ability for consumers to blacklist these domains) appearing in search results seemed to dampen investors' appetite for the stock (according to Demand Media's S-1 filing, Google made up 28% of the company's revenues in the first 3 months of 2010).
So why does this matter?
Investing beyond Facebook
Interest in stock of consumer internet companies needs to exist beyond just Facebook for the overall health of the capital markets. Facebook, which recently confirmed that it had raised $1.5 billion in an oversubscribed round led by Goldman Sachs that included $1 billion from non-U.S. clients, will most likely not file for an IPO until the end of April 2012 when it has to begin disclosing its financials to the public due to the company exceeding the 500 shareholder threshold this year. Investors are left with the decision to either wait for Facebook's offering or participate in the overall growth of the consumer internet sector by buying into other companies" IPOs. Even if Demand Media is a beneficiary of pent-up demand for Facebook stock, the fact that investors are buying up shares in the open market is a positive sign, especially for the likes of LinkedIn (which filed its registration statement the day after Demand Media went public) and Skype (which has already filed its paperwork and is expected to go public in the 2nd half of this year) which have healthier overall financial profiles than Demand Media.
Market opportunity validation
The phrase "a feature not a product," which has been attributed to friend and venture capitalist Chris Fralic of First Round Capital as it relates to investing in start-ups, is a concept than can be extended to evaluating potential IPO candidates as well. Over time, the public markets are the most effective way to determine whether an entity is "a product line not a company". The consumer internet, like other sectors, needs public companies to validate whether or not capital being deployed by venture investors in a particular sector is warranted or not. The validation comes by way of each company's financial performance and associated market capitalization as well as that of the entire sector- public data points that do not exist in tandem in private companies (even though secondary markets do exists for shares of private company stock, in companies such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Zynga, there is no accompanying financial disclosure requirements as with public companies).
It's this market validation that keeps venture capitalist investing in start-ups that compete with Google in search for example, even though the company holds an ever-increasing grip on the U.S. search market. AdWords, Google's search advertising product, represented the majority of the nearly $20 billion in revenues the company earned from its own websites in 2010. The validation of search advertising's market size by Google enables companies such as Blekko to raise $24 million in funding even though their goal of reaching third place in the search business sounds modest, though worth billions of dollars in revenues.
Acquisitions, which are a much more common type of liquidity event for start-ups, don't provide the same type of market proof because they are completed for a variety of reasons, some of which are not purely economic or accretive to the acquiring company (i.e. acquiring companies for the talent, for access to a particular customer or as a defensive measure against a competitor).
Business theory versus reality
Whether Demand Media deserves to be worth more than the New York Times makes for entertaining debate (especially after it was revealed that the New York Times almost bought into Demand Media over three years ago), but it misses the point. What Demand Media's public offering is really about is whether or not the theory behind the internet being a more efficient, scalable way to do business is a reality for the content creation business. If Demand Media can prove skeptics wrong and build a sustainable, profitable business as an online media company, it will open up opportunities for other pure-play online media companies such as The Huffington Post to go public and keep venture capitalists investing in the sector.
With Facebook's revenues on track to exceed $1.5 billion and net income to reach nearly $500 million in 2010 investors are correct to anoint the company the darling of this consumer internet class as Facebook's financials and growth story far exceeds anyone else's in the industry (Groupon doesn't factor into this conversation because it is an e-commerce company). In the process Facebook has also validated the business opportunity around social networking, which LinkedIn will benefit from in its upcoming IPO. For Skype, which provides a different type of social communication utility, their public offering will put one of the most often used business models existing on the internet today to the test, the "freemium" model, along with trying to fulfill on the business promise of paying for communication over the internet (which Vonage never really was able to accomplish). The success or failure of Skype's business model of charging consumers for only premium services and giving away the rest for free to users will have a major effect on start-up funding across the entire consumer internet sector going forward.
With the countdown to Facebook's inevitable IPO having already started, the company has indirectly provided other private consumer internet companies with a chance to leverage the demand and go public themselves (granted they meet some of the traditional financial metrics of approximately $100 million in revenues and profitable). This is a short-term opportunity though as companies that are able to complete their IPOs in the months before Facebook goes public or starts disclosing its financials should do so to benefit from the investor appetite for consumer internet stocks but do it far enough in advance to not be drawn into direct comparison to Facebook's financial success. In addition to the aforementioned companies, several start-ups that have benefited directly from the success of Facebook's platform over the past several years, namely Buddy Media and Zynga, could benefit further from the Facebook effect by going public in 2011. The clock is ticking.

Facebook Invented a New Unit of Time
Alex Cranz
Filed to:neat
Sometimes it's easy to forget that Facebook, as a company, is meant to be an innovator in fields beyond surveillance. But the announcement that it has created an entirely new unit of time is a nice reminder that the enormous company, which owns both WhatsApp and Oculus VR, is more than just one of the largest spy apparatuses in history.
The new unit of time—announced on Twitter and available via Github—is known as Flicks, and was specifically created to be used by visual effects artists working in the mediums of film, TV, and video.
See, it's often necessary to get super granular with the timecodes when working in visual effects. Instead of operating in seconds, VFX artists, producers, and programmers will sometimes work in nanoseconds. But working in nanoseconds can result in some messy math and coding, as they aren't easily converted to standard video frame rates. So Facebook developed the Flicks unit of time which, according to its Github page, "is the smallest time unit which is LARGER than a nanosecond, and can in integer quantities exactly represent a single frame duration" of film.
Flicks were originally suggested by Christopher Horvath, a VFX Artist and Oculus employee, in a Facebook post way back in 2016.
It's interesting to note this unit of time was created by an employee of of Oculus's Story Studio, a VR-focused film studio, and was released through the Oculus VR's Github repository—not through Facebook itself. VR filmmaking is still in its infancy. Compared to traditional filmmaking, it's still at The Great Train Robbery stage. There haven't been any transcendent pieces of work from VR that radically alter how audiences and artists approach the medium. There's been no Citizen Kane yet. But Flicks is proof that the VR filmmaking studio is at least trying to move towards a cool new future.

What evidence is available that Mt. Moriah is actually the Temple Mount?
In Sunday school this week we discussed (among several other things) the sacrifice of Isaac.
The teacher pointed us to a footnote that appears in several editions of the scripture. It seems that scholars think that Mount Moriah, where Abraham was told to go to sacrifice his son is now the location of the Dome of the Rock, which makes it the historic location of the temple, and just a few hundred yards from the historic location of Golgotha.
What historic, archeological and traditional evidence is available to confirm this theory?
history abraham temple geography
MR. TOODLE-OO'D

Good question! Jewish tradition based on 2 Chronicles 3: 1 holds that the Temple Mount is the same place as 'land of Moriah'. What bothers me is the use of 'land' and 'mount' but I'll ask at the Hermeneutic site. They know all about this stuff. – gideon marx Oct 8 '13 at 18:10
The Mount ('har') of Moriah was in the Land ('eretz') of Moriah. That this was 'the' mountain and not another one is based on tradition and the belief in divine guidance. It is interesting that the Mishnah places the soul of Abraham in Mount Moriah. (Taanith 2: 4) indicating a very old tradition. – gideon marx Oct 9 '13 at 7:03
The obvious answer to the question is yes, the first Temple was built on Mount Moriah. II Chronicles 3:1 says as much:
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. (ESV)
and there is no particular reason to doubt that was the real name of the place the Temple was built. Of course, that isn't really the question being asked - the real question is, is "Mount Moriah" the same place as 1) where the Dome of the Rock now sits and 2) the place where Abraham offered up Isaac as a sacrifice.
Dome of the Rock site?
On the first question, the only clue in the text is that the Temple was built on the "threshing floor of Ornan". In ancient times, threshing floors had to be in open spaces and were usually on high ground. These two traits allowed the people to maximize the power of the wind to help separate the the grains from the chaff. The hill of the Dome of the Rock would be an excellent place for such activity. Because it is reasonable to think the people of Israel accurately remembered the place of their sacred temple, the fact that there is no alternative tradition, and the fact the hill matches the description
the majority of scholars, archaeologists, and rabbinic authorities [locate] the Temple in relation to that rock.1
This view has not been universally held by scholars, however. Nineteenth century archaeologist Charles Warren suggested the correct site was 50 meters to the southwest, at the Mount of Olives. This view has significant difficulties and is not supported today. A more recent theory is that the Temple was to the north of the Dome of the Rock under what is now the Dome of the Spirits. This theory was endorsed by some evangelical Christians, but seems to be too small of a site and has been roundly criticized by archaeologists.1
Another recent alternate proposed that the Temple was further south than Warren's location. In this theory, the Wailing Wall remnants that survive are not part of the Temple complex, but rather an effort by Hadrian to install a temple to Jupiter in the second century. This theory has been utterly refuted by archaeological finds at the Wailing Wall which include a stone inscription apparently describing the Sabbath and by the absurdity of this hypothesis' reliance on a site 50 feet lower the current platform and 30 feet lower than the remaining wall.1
Sacrificial site?
On the second question, the evidence is much more mixed. Looking solely at the Biblical text is inconclusive. Genesis 22:2 says simply that Abraham went up "one of the mountains" in the "land of Moriah". The Septuagint version is even vaguer:
And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.2
The three extant Targums (which are interpretative translations into Aramaic) read:
...get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains
...go into the land of worship (in a variant: "vision") and offer him before Me there, a burnt offering, upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee.
...go into the land of worship, and offer him there, a whole burnt offering, upon one of the mountains3
Interestingly, the fragmentary "Jerusalem" Targum does preserve "at Mount Moriah" but without any of the surrounding context.3
This suggests to me that the tradition that the two were the same place was at minimum not deeply entrenched into Hebrew thought when the translations were made. Additionally, there is a good reason translations often do not treat "Moriah" as proper name in Gen 22:2:
This is probably due to the definite article with Moriah (el eres hammoriya, lit. "to the land of the Moriah"), which is uncommon for a proper name.4
Additionally, there are logistic problems. The city of Jerusalem had apparently been founded by the time of Abraham. This can be seen by Genesis 14:18, which talks about "Melchizedek king of Salem". Salem is known to me an older form of Jerusalem;5 see for example Psalm 76:2 ("His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.", NIV). Archaeological evidence confirms that the city was inhabited in c. 3000 BC, and possibly earlier.6 According to the Biblical account, Abraham lived in the vicinity of 2000 BC,7 which means he would be making his sacrifice in plain view of the city, and also means it is unlikely there would be a wild goat.
In favor of the association there is Josephus, writing around 100-200 after the Targums:
Accordingly [God] commanded [Abraham] to carry [Isaac] to the mountain Moriah, and to build an altar, and offer him for a burnt-offering upon it: for that this would best manifest his religious disposition towards him, if he preferred what was pleasing to God, before the preservation of his own son.8
In the Talmud, we find:
What is the meaning of "Mount Moriah?" Rabbi Levi bar Chama and Rabbi Chanina disputed this point. One said: "The mount from which teaching (הוראה) went out." The other said: "The Mountain from which fear went out to the idolaters."9
which apparently both suggest Jerusalem as a location. However, a different interpretation is offered elsewhere in the Talmud:
I heard a different interpretation: "Mount Moriah" – that is Mount Sinai. "Fear to the idolators" – at the giving of the Torah, as it states (Psalms 76:9): "The world heard and was quiet."9
This Rabbi associates Moriah, not with Jerusalem, but instead with Mount Sinai.
The tradition on the site of the Temple being the same spot that now houses the Dome of the Rock is very strong. And the tradition matches the physical evidence.
In contrast, the tradition on the site of Abraham's sacrifice is variant. The association with the site of the Temple also doesn't match the physical evidence very well. Therefore, I think the Temple site and the site of Abraham's sacrifice are most likely different sites.
What then to make of Chronicles
It has been suggested that the author of Chronicles "inserted" the name Moriah into the Temple account to give the Temple a symbolic link to Abraham. However, this view is unlikely for a number of reasons:10
The writer of Chronicles is generally uninterested in the history of Israel before the founding of the monarchy
There is no evidence the term "Moriah" was strongly linked to Abraham
If it is a reference, it is a very vague. If the writer of Chronicles wanted to draw the the parallel, he has left us no clues in the text (in contrast to the explicit reference to David). Why not write "Moriah, the site of Abraham" or something similar, or at least provide some clue, if that was the intent?
An alternative suggestion, is that the term was inserted into Genesis. This seems even less likely, as why then would the scribe insert into into the "land" part of the passage and learn "one of the mountains".
The normal solution offered to explain the two clearly different uses of the term is that term Moriah referred to a large expanse of mountainous land which included the specific hill on which the Temple was built.4 Thus, both passages are accurate, but do not refer to the exact same patch of land; Mount Moriah is part of the land of Moriah, but not the mountain God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on.
An alternate hypothesis of my own is that the Israelites chose to name the Temple Mount after Abraham. A place doesn't have an intrinsic name, after all... Perhaps the easiest solution of all is that it is simply a coincidence. The uncertainly of the translation of Gen 22:2 (see Septuagint & Tarmud translations above), makes coincidence a perfectly plausible suggestion - if the terms had different meanings, then their use to describe different places it not at all surprising.
None of these hypotheses can be strongly argued for, but the "scribal alteration" idea can be argued against. All we can say with confidence is that the exact meaning of "the lands of the Moriah" is probably lost to time. This does not, however, change the basic conclusion that 1) Mount Moriah is the site of Dome of the Rock and 2) it is most likely not the site of Abraham's sacrificial offering.

10Biblical Interpretation in Judaism and Christianity
ThaddeusBThaddeusB
Moriah is specifically named in the Isaac narrative and the temple narrative. Mount Moriah itself is said to be the location of the temple:
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Chronicles 3:1 (ESV)
Genesis identifies "a mountain [God] will show you" in at least the vicinity of Moriah as the location of the binding of Isaac:
He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
Genesis 22:2 (ESV)
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia and this answer on Mi Yodeya, rabbis have consistently identified the two mounts as one and the same.
MR. TOODLE-OO'DMR. TOODLE-OO'D
According to the New and Concise Bible Dictionary:
The land in which was situated the mount on which Abraham was told to offer his son Isaac. Gen. 22: 2. The name of the mountain is not recorded. On the third day after leaving Beer-sheba, Abraham saw the mount afar off, and it was doubtless some lonely spot suitable for such an incident. The Jews say it was the mount bearing this name in Jerusalem. The Samaritans and some modern authorities judge it to have been Gerizim; but it is unknown.
Pretty good use of internal Biblical evidence. I think a great answer would also use external archeological evidence, or confirm that such evidence does not exist. – dleyva3 Dec 3 '13 at 0:33
Beersheba is about 35-40 miles away from Jerusalem. Would that have been a 3-day journey on foot in that landscape at that time? – Steve May 10 '14 at 4:32

What an amazing club this is! As of this writing, there are 146 active members and several others who have inquired about joining the club. I often think about what a treat it is to be able to connect with, learn from, fish alongside (or compete against), and share stories with IWFA members throughout the world.
You know what else is amazing? Your Board of Directors! They aren't required to meet in June, July and August, but many of them are taking advantage of this time to review policies and procedures and to make suggestions for improvements to the club. Some of the activities currently being undertaken by Board chairwomen and committee members include: seeking ways to keep dues low by finding sponsors for annual awards; finding ways to lower the cost of awards; reviewing the species list, scoring structure and awards rules; evaluating the potential for varying membership levels, including a youth membership; updating the Yearbook for the 2017-2019 term; seeking a better way to present the contents of the Yearbook to our membership; and creating an investment plan that will help the club to establish goals for financial growth and sustainability.
Reading on, you'll learn that our new Regional Rep program has already been rolled out. This program is designed to be an added benefit for members. I hope you'll get to know your Regional Rep and find value in the program.
The bottom line is that the entire Board is not only committed to meeting the club's stated purpose, and to enjoying some camaraderie in the process, we're also invested in being a fiscally strong and highly regarded organization for years to come.
We invite you to become involved and hope to meet up with you during tournaments, funaments, celebrations, vacations and planned or impromptu fishing expeditions.
Glenda Kelley, Pam Marmin, and Capt. Bouncer Smith show off their beautiful Blackfin Tuna caught during a fishing trip this summer. The trip was a silent auction item at the Scholarship Trust Dinner held at Roberta Arostegui's home earlier this year. The trip was donated by Capt. Bouncer Smith.
Kathy Gillen, Connie O'day, Brenda Moore, Pam Marmin, Ellen Matthews, and Rose Ippolito had a great day of fishing prior to the Lousiana SLAM Tournament. They caught some beautiful Yellowfin Tuna and Red Snappers. Can you say sore arms??!!!
Brenda Moore with a beautiful Snook. Mary Muratori Snook fishing after hand surgery recently.
Ellen Matthews, Connie O'day and Pam Marmin during a pre-fishing day before the Louisiana SLAM Tournament in June. Lastly, Connie showing off one of her many redfish, caught and released in Louisiana.
The Louisiana SLAM Tournament proved to be another excellent year of fishing and "catching" for the ladies that participated this past June. Congratulations to Barbara Moore of Oriental, NC for winning this year's tournament. For more pictures and results from the tournament, please visit the IWFA website.
The Scholarship Trust awarded a record $36,000 to 23 deserving Marine Science graduate students in April of 2017. This is the largest amount awarded in the history of the trust and the credit goes to the IWFA members and friends who generously supported the trust through raffles and contributions.
The Trust will be updating their scholarship web pages this year and are pleased to announce that all the scholarship applications in the future will be submitted electronically. A special thanks to our IWFA President, Jill Gaddis, for her valuable help making this possible.
On February 10, 2018 the Scholarship Trust will be hosting a fundraiser at the beautiful home of Roberta and Marty Arostegui in Coral Gables, Florida. Roberta and Marty will once again open their beautiful home to IWFA members, spouses and friends for a traditional Cuban roasted pig dinner cooked by Marty. There will be a silent and a live auction with new and exciting items. Please save the date and come and enjoy a fun evening with your fellow IWFA members.
The Trust would like to thank the outgoing executive board Chairmen Suzie Villere, Vice Chairmen Diane Locke, Secretary Connie O'Day, and Treasurer Joan Vernon (Joan will remain as Treasurer) for their countless hours spent in furthering the interests of our Trust. Their dedication and support to the Scholarship Trust is a true testament of their belief in the trust and the future of students studying marine science.
Congratulations to the following member(s) who have earned such incredible milestones! These monthly award numbers include the June 2017 stats. Happy Fishing!
Why did you volunteer to Chair this program?
First, I have made so many friends through this organization that I was looking for a way to give back. But more importantly, I have always felt this program is key to our organizations growth and development. The representatives are key to developing communications and fostering camaraderie.
The program recently had a name change from District Rep to Regional Rep. What was the reason for this?
When we looked at out member base, we had a concentration of members in four areas. Our goal was to divide the world up so that every new and potential member was covered. By expanding the territories from districts to a much broader regional area, we are providing the desired coverage.
Florida has the largest territory with about 50% of the members residing in this area. Therefore, we divided the state's counties into five territories to best suit the member population. Continuing as Regional Rep for the Keys, in Monroe County, is Carmen Perez-Padron who also produces the Newsletter for our organization. Janice Sands who takes over as the new Regional Rep for Miami – Dade County is not new to IWFA leadership as she chaired the Light Tackle Tournament last year and served on the board. Melissa Littlewood demonstrated her skills and talent prior to becoming an official Regional Rep when she hosted the legendary Boca Funament back in April. Yes, she is doing it again, in 2018, as the official Regional Rep for the Florida west coast and central counties. Returning representatives are Gwen Hahn, a prestigious Hall of Fame inductee and past president, who will continue to reside over Palm Beach County, and award winning and past board member Lorraine Francis, who will take the lead on the remaining counties on the east coast of Florida.
The second concentration of members comes from the Carolinas, Louisiana and Texas. In the Carolinas, we currently have an open position which we are actively looking to fill. I would love to discuss this opportunity with anyone interested. We created the Southern Region, which includes Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia under the leadership of Julie Hebert who has co-chaired the popular Louisiana Slam. The Western Region is spearheaded out of Texas by our board member and winner of many coveted tournaments Connie O'Day. While most of the members in this territory reside in Texas this area extends from the west coast to all the states north of Texas. The Northeast Territory is under one of our newer and very active members Brenda Moore. Since joining IWFA just a few years ago, Brenda has jumped in and has not missed a tournament or Funament. While Brenda's permanent home is in Texas, she spends much of her time in NY where she is soon to be a grandmother again.
One of the more interesting territories is our international group. I have decided to take on this challenge. My goal will be to look at ways to connect our international group with our domestic group.
Anyone interested in getting involved in the Regional Rep program is welcome. Please contact me.
What is the job of a Regional Representative?
Their primary responsibility is to keep their local members connected with each other, the Officers, and the Board of Directors. A Regional Representative serves not only as a motivator and contact person, but also as a source of information and education for our individual members. Regional Representatives are also the driving force behind some of the IWFA's most popular events--the Funament Circuit. Simply put, funaments are tournaments without the rules, a reason for members to get together to fish... just for the fun of it!
Are you respecting your fish?????
This article is intended to help educate the IWFA angling community on fish handling skills and respect of the fish. Please read as we can all make a difference with a change of habit – with very little effort!
In other words, fish were never intended to be brought above the surface and handled. Therefore, their organs are not designed to feel the effects of gravity in which you and I live in. What many of us take for granted can cause numerous complications for a fish, most leading to eventual death.
Landing grips and other fish gripping devices are useful tools ONLY if used in the correct fashion.
Thank you fellow IWFA angler, Linda Denkert, for sharing these easy tips for the love of the fish and the mortality of the marine world!
The Islamorada Backcountry Tournament will be held on October 22 – 25, 2017. The Kickoff will be on Sunday, October 22. Anglers will fish on October 23, 24, and 25.
The IWFA would like to wish a warm welcome to the following ladies that have joined our amazing club since July 2017.

Q: Are there any command line syslog listeners for Linux? We have several embedded systems that can be configured to send log data to a remote server for debugging purposes. However such is the hassle of configuring the developers machine to listen and filter this data most of the guys tend to just watch the syslog traffic with something like Wireshark. Are there any command line syslog tools that can be configured to listen to a temporary port use in these debugging scenarios? I've had a bit of a search on-line but haven't been able to turn anything up.

A: If you want something quick and dirty, just use netcat to listen on the syslog port. Redirecting to a file, filtering what you see, etc. can all be done with tee or shell redirection, grep, awk, etc.
sudo nc -l 514

Add the -u flag if using a UDP transport.

India's girl child survival rate up by four fold
UNICEF reports that for the first time India's girl child mortality is at its lowest
/ By Sashwata Saha / Kolkata
India's girl children have a better natality rate than ever
UNICEF reports says that for the first time in five years, India's girl child mortality has shrunk down four fold.
A recent project by UNICEF undertook the responsibility of calculating the full stock of Indian children's over a period of five years. When compared to the data that UNICEF has collected from similar developing nations, it revealed a noteworthy decline in child mortality rates along with a shrinking gender gap in surviving girl children since 2013.
The study put forth that India's share of worldwide under-five deaths has been equal to its share of childbirths for the very first time. Consequently, the country registered the lowest number of infant deaths in five years.
The logs of the United Nations Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNIGME) estimate that 2016 saw around 867,000 infant deaths being reported, due to avoidable causes such as complications during birth, neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria. The number of deaths (of children below 14) stood at 802,000 in 2017, of which 605,000 were neonatal deaths.
Another perceptible aspect of the steady decline is the fact that in 2016, the infant mortality rate was 44 per 1,000 live births. In 2017, the under-five mortality rates were 39 and 40 (out of 1,000) for male and female children respectively. This fourfold decrease in gender gap has been a historic highlight in the endeavours to curb female infanticide and improve childcare for lower economic households.
Yasmin Ali Haque, representative, UNICEF India said, "The efforts for improving institutional delivery, along with countrywide scale up of special newborn care units and strengthening of routine immunization, have been instrumental towards this."
While acknowledging the government's holistic nutrition programme under the Poshan (Nutrition) campaign and the commitment to remove open defecation by 2019, Laurence Chandy, UNICEF director of data, research and policy, commented, "Without urgent action, 56 million children under five will die from now until 2030 – half of them newborns."
Around the world, millions of infants and children are dying year after year from inadequate access to water, sanitation, healthy nutrition and basic healthcare. Over half of the world's neonatal deaths in 2017 were reported in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Compared to the UN statistic that only one in 185 children die in developed countries, that ratio becomes one in 13 for some African nations.
Nono Simelela, assistant director-general for Family, Women and Children's Health at WHO said, "We must prioritize providing universal access to quality health services for every child, particularly around the time of birth and through the early years, to give them the best possible chance to survive and thrive."
"Ending preventable deaths and investing in the health of young people is a basic foundation for building countries' human capital, which will drive their future growth and prosperity," the UNESCO report reads, further noting the role played by regional and economic disparities, the difference in case of educated mothers, and how the first month is the most critical period for an infant.

Isaac Skinner Hascall (March 8, 1831January 18, 1908) was a lawyer who served in the Nebraska State Senate from 1867 to 1869 and again from 1871 to 1873, serving as President pro tempore of the Senate from 1871 to 1873. Hascall is known for declaring himself Acting Governor of Nebraska in February 1872 by virtue of his position as President pro tempore of the Senate in order to call a special session of the Nebraska Legislature while current Acting Governor William H. James was traveling out of the state.

Early life
Hascall was born on in Erie County, New York, in 1831. His grandfather was a Baptist preacher, and his father, Jonathan Hascall, was a lawyer and a presidential elector for the state of New York in the election of 1844. Hascall read law in Mayville, New York, and was admitted to practice law in New York in 1853. During the time after 1855, Hascall journeyed to the states of Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska and engaged in an expedition with a surveying crew to determine township lines near Nebraska City, Nebraska; he also practiced law at Atchison, Kansas.

Career
While practicing law in Atchison, Kansas, Hascall was elected as a member of the Constitutional Convention of Kansas and also served as a probate judge there. He quit practicing law in Atchison in 1860 and moved to Colorado and soon after to Oregon with a prospecting party and settled in the mining town of Auburn, Oregon. He began practicing law there and was elected as the city attorney. In 1863, Hascall continued prospecting in the mountains of Idaho. From 1863 to 1865, Hascall traveled through California, Nevada (he was admitted to the Nevada bar in 1864), New York, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, Canada, and Pennsylvania; he finally settled in Omaha, Nebraska, in March of 1865. He set up a law practice in Omaha in 1865 at 15th and Farnam Streets, and in the summer of 1865, he was appointed as Probate Judge of Douglas County, Nebraska, and was later elected to the position in his own right.

In 1866, Hascall was elected to the Nebraska State Senate from Douglas County and served in the second session, which was a speical session called by Governor David Butler meeting on February 20 and 21 of 1867 to consider the question of a black suffrage amendment to the Nebraska Constitution of 1866. Congress had rejected the proposed Nebraska Constitution of 1866 and Nebraska's application for statehood until Nebraska agreed to an amendment allowing black people to vote. When the special session convened to consider the black suffrage amendment, Hascall became the deciding vote in favor of black suffrage, allowing the amendment to pass and thus hastening Nebraska's statehood which came into force on March 1, 1867.

Hascall resigned his position as Probate Judge in August 1867 in order to travel West to Cheyenne, Wyoming. He returned to Omaha in 1868 and was again elected to the Nebraska State Senate for Douglas County in 1870. In the Spring of 1871, he was elected as a delegate from Douglas County to the Nebraska Constitutional Convention of 1871. The constitution produced by this convention was ultimately rejected by the voters of Nebraska on September 17, 1871. After the resignation of Ebenezer E. Cunningham as President pro tempore of the Nebraska State Senate in late 1871, which occurred after the impeachment and removal of Governor David Butler, Hascall was elected as the new President pro tempore of the Nebraska State Senate.

On February 8, 1872, while Nebraska Secretary of State and Acting Governor William H. James was away on business in Washington, D.C., Hascall declared himself the "Acting Governor" of the State of Nebraska during James's absence by virtue of his position as President pro tempore of the Nebraska State Senate. Hascall made this declaration based on Section 17 of Article III of the Nebraska Constitution of 1866, which read, "If, during the vacancy of the office of Governor, the Secretary of State shall be impeached, displaced, resign, die, or be absent from the State, the powers and duties of the office of Governor shall devolve upon the President [pro tempore] of the Senate." By declaring himself Acting Governor, Hascall then claimed the power to call a special session of the Nebraska Legislature to enact various legislation, including by implication the consideration of impeachment of Acting Governor James, who was absent from the state. It is said that Hascall was able to affix the Great Seal of the State of Nebraska to his proclamation calling for a special legislative session by telling Acting Governor James's private secretary that he needed the seal to certify the appointment of a notary public. When word of this reached Acting Governor James in Washington, he immediately began the trip back to Nebraska. When he arrived back in Nebraska on February 13, 1872, Acting Governor James issued his own proclamation revoking the one put out by Hascall.

Despite Acting Governor James's revocation, preparations for the special session, which was to be called for February 15, 1872, were already being made, and thus several senators and representatives met and recognized the legality of Hascall's actions as "Acting Governor." However, there were not enough present for a quorum, and so the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to compel the attendance of absent members. One senator permitted himself to be arrested in order to produce a test case that could come before the Supreme Court of Nebraska to settle the issue. On February 22, 1872, the Supreme Court of Nebraska rendered its decision on the legality of the special session. The Court ruled that Hascall was legally authorized to be the Acting Governor of Nebraska in the absence of Acting Governor James under Section 17 of Article III of the Nebraska Constitution of 1866. However, the Court also ruled that the calling of the special session was not legal under Section 9 of Article III of the Constitution of 1866 because there was no "extraordinary occasion" necessary to call a special session. Based on this decision, the grounds justifying a special session ceased to exist, and the attempt was abandoned by Hascall and others.

After leaving the Nebraska State Senate in 1873, Hascall mostly focused his time on local politics in the city of Omaha. He served on the Omaha City Council for a time and also tried starting some hotels in Omaha which eventually failed. He owned a 10-acre property at 13th and Vinton Streets in Omaha, Nebraska, and he built a limestone wall around the property to keep the city from extending 14th Street through the property. Some of that wall remains to this day.

Party affiliation
Hascall's party affiliation is unclear and may have changed over time. One source implies that Hascall was a member of the Democratic Party, another source identifies Hascall as an Independent, and a newspaper article and an obituary say that Hascall was a Republican.

Personal life
Hascall married Sarah J. Harrison in July 1856 in Chautauqua County, New York. They had two children, a daughter and a son, but were divorced in 1886 for reason of Hascall's alleged extramarital affairs and abuse of his wife. He was an active mason and member of the Capitol Lodge in Omaha. He died in Omaha, Nebraska, on January 18, 1908. He is interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Omaha, Nebraska.

Our 10 Favorite Spring Essentials from UNIQLO
Photo: UNIQLO
Published by Yoni Yardeni
When it comes to picking up essentials, there aren't many names who've developed as worthy of a following as UNIQLO. The Japanese leader in affordable basics has offered far more than meets the eye for decades, showing off its sumptuous side through collaborative collections with the likes of high-profile names in Jil Sander and Christophe Lemaire. As far as the latter is concerned, the French designer sits at the helm of the brand's Paris Research and Development Center, which is responsible for crafting its uber-fashionable Uniqlo U line, whose latest collection for the Spring and Summer was recently released.
Seeing as just how prominent a force the retailer has become, we figured it would only be right to shine a light on the new capsule's highlights, so we compiled our ten favorite spring essentials from UNIQLO below. Have a look and prepare to take on the impending warmer weather in style.
Climbing Shorts
What better way to kick off the spring than with a new pair of shorts? Tailored toward the outdoors, UNIQLO's Climbing Shorts are composed of a lightweight, loose-fitting blend of cotton and linen, then rounded out with a belt at the waist for a guaranteed fit. Plus, thanks to its pair of zippered pockets, there's no need to worry about any of your trail gear slipping out of your pocket.
French Ribbed Cardigan
While a cardigan may seem like more of an autumn-appropriate garment, the Japanese clothiers crafted a great, versatile example of knitwear that's sure to endure the warmer months. The French Ribbed Cardigan serves as a great addition to any outfit, whether you're looking to keep things formal and classy or cool and casual. This stylish subtlety is made from nothing from mercerized cotton for some added sheen and even comes equipped with a pair of interior pockets for the utmost convenience.
French Ribbed Pants
The French Ribbed Pants serve as the ideal garment to wear alongside the collection's new cardigan, crafted from a variety of cut and sewn textiles to make for a luxuriously unique feel. To keep things uniform, it also receives a mercerized finish akin to that of the previous piece. For added style and comfort, the pants have a slightly tapered cut and reinforced elastic waist for slight abrasion resistance. Keep in mind that this is a good-looking pair of pants whether you decide to complete the outfit or not.
Linen-Blend Oversized Half Sleeve Shirt
If you're looking to keep things casual and unique altogether, then UNIQLO has got you covered here. The new season's Oversized Half Sleeve Shirt is a perfect choice to wear with just about any pair of pants — maybe even loungewear. Made from a blend of rayon, linen, and cotton, this casual, lightweight button-up is rounded out with a handy chest pocket to keep your gear organized and accessible.
Wide-Fit Tapered Pants
If you're looking to maintain a formal look for work or some significant event you've got coming up, look no further than the new U collection's dressy Tapered Pants. While these may look a tad upscale, they still manage to keep things light and comfortable, primarily thanks to their deep-rise design at the hips, as well as their cotton, polyester, and linen blend.
3D Knit Crewneck Sweater
Even though you may not consider buying a new sweater with tepid temperatures on the horizon, this is a great option to look at when it's a bit chilly out during spring's colder moments. Before being sewn, this crewneck's textiles were treated over a gas flame to apply a sturdy, formidable finish, ensuring that its cotton makeup doesn't appear nappy over time. Rounded out with a cozy pair of raglan sleeves and a subtle mid-gauge knit, there's no room for error with this piece.
Denim Overshirt Jacket
Seeing as Japanese denim has been all the rage for decades, this should serve as one of this guide's more clear-cut standouts. The fashionable Denim Overshirt is equipped with a handy quartet of pockets to take all your accessories along with you. Taking clear inspiration from the world of workwear, this is a great, minimalist take on the iconic chore coat from UNIQLO.
Relaxed Fit Tailored Jacket
In case you're not looking to shell out on some exorbitant blazers you may find around the web, UNIQLO is here to make sure you still look good at your next formal get-together. Made for seamless layering, the boxy Tailored Jacket is unlined, which will also manage to keep things airy when the forecast gets too toasty. As you may have already guessed, we recommend wearing this with the aforementioned Tapered Pants, as it would combine for an ideal combination for anything from a dinner to a wedding.
Oversized Hooded Blouson
Elemental protection remains a necessity even with the turn of the season, which is where the Oversized Hooded Blouson gets its 15 minutes of fame. Although this sleek piece is as light as a feather, it does wonders against drizzles through the day, as well as significant temperature drops at night. No matter what climate you find yourself in, though, you can count on the blouson's vents bringing in fresh air from both the front and back.
Whether you're looking to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes or simply prefer a classic look, here is an ideal choice. Crafted from nothing but nylon, this lightweight trench coat is a breeze to throw over your shoulders. Plus, this unique composition also gives the classic, detective-esque garment a voguish touch that is practically bewildering to find at such a low price point. UNIQLO's new piece also serves as a great final layer to any outfit thanks to its oversized cut, as well as an adjustable waist belt to ensure the perfect fit.

Rwandans are going to the polls in presidential elections, with incumbent Paul Kagame widely expected to win his third term in office.
The 59-year-old is being challenged by Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana.
Mr Kagame is credited with the country's rapid economic development since taking office in 2000.
But critics accuse him of suppressing dissent and political freedoms.
Polls across the country opened at 07:00 (05:00 GMT) and will close at 16:00.
Mr Kagame, who represents the ruling RPF party, has widespread vocal support, the BBC's Tomi Oladipo says.
The president has even referred to the vote as a mere formality, our correspondent adds.
He came to power in 1994, when his rebel group took control of the capital, Kigali, ending the genocide in which some 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered.
Rwanda's constitution was amended in 2015, giving Mr Kagame a chance to stay in power until 2034.
The two challengers have complained that their supporters are being intimidated, which they say explains the low turnout at their pre-election rallies.
The candidates have also accused some local authorities of undermining their campaign.

Q: Error CS7069: Reference to type 'x' claims it is defined in 'y', but it could not be found; MSBuild 14 I have run into a strange issue in Visual Studio 2017. Recently a change in our internal nuget packages moved a class, that is used in an extension, to another project/package, but the namespace was not changed. Upon updating the new packages in another solution the extension methods began all throwing compile errors.
"Reference to type 'x' claims it is defined in 'y', but it could not be found"
I can get the solution to build by, changing the extension method to be used as static invocations, using Visual Studio 2013, or having resharper build use msbuild 12 (14 and 15 throw the same error).
I have tried clearing cache, deleting packages and restoring, restarting everything, and a fresh checkout in a separate folder. Also looked at other questions that had the same error, but nothing they mentioned worked.
I do plan to make the team that moved the class to fix the namespace to match the project, but it will take a few weeks to get it through.
Ex:
//In project Company.Auto
namespace Company.Auto.Extensions
{
   using System;

   public static class Cars
   {
       public static IDictionary<string, Car> DoStuff(this Car car)
       {
       }
   }
}

//Moved to project Company.Stuff.Something.Documents
namespace Company.Auto.Domain
{
   using System;

   public class Car
   {

   }
}

A: I had the same issue, I rebuilt each library referenced by the offending application individually which seems to have fixed the problem. Seems like some sort of caching issue.

Allen Posts Career-High 8 Points For Women's Lacrosse In Season-Opening Loss

After a close battle with Villanova, the Red ultimately succumbed to the Wildcats in a narrow overtime loss, 13-12.
Villanova (1-1) was quick to get on the board, finding the back of the net less than four minutes into the game. But just 10 seconds later, Cornell (0-1) scored the first of four unanswered goals to go up 4-1.
The Wildcats responded with two goals of their own to bring the game back within one. The teams then traded goals for the rest of the half with Villanova holding a one-goal advantage, 6-5, heading into the second half.
After trading more goals, senior captain attacker Sarah Phillips was equalized the score at 10 apiece a little over seven minutes into the second half.
Not willing to relinquish its lead, however, the Wildcats scored three unanswered goals. The Red made a late push to force overtime, but fell just short as the clock wound down with a final score of 13-12.
Despite the loss, the young squad has a lot of positives to take away from the game.
Junior captain attacker Caroline Allen led the way, notching a career high five goals and three assists to give her a career high eight points on the day.
"It was just great to finally get the season started," Allen said. "Even though it wasn't the outcome we wanted, there's definitely a lot to learn from going forward."
The Red also had two players — senior attacker Shannon Bertscha and freshman midfielder Genevieve DeWinter — tally their first collegiate goals.
Sophomore goalkeeper Hailey Andress made her first collegiate start, but junior goalkeeper Katie McGahan came on in relief a little over six minutes into the second half and recorded three saves of her own.
Cornell also outshot the Wildcats, 19-17, and fielded 17 ground balls to Villanova's 16.
"What was promising was that we showed a lot of fight once we buckled down," said junior captain and defender Mary Kate Bonanni. "That's good news for us because we can always lean back on [our ability to keep fighting through] when things aren't going our way."
With a blend of fresh talent and seasoned veterans, the Red thinks it can be a formidable opponent if it tidies its game up.
"It was only our first game," Bonanni said, "so we have a lot to learn from it and we have time to do so. Once we clean those [mistakes] up, which we definitely can, I think we'll be in good shape."
Cornell will have its first opportunity to play in front of a home crowd as it takes on No.10 Penn State (2-0) in its home opener at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Of course, the better deal will look good and healthy, So learn some Best Weight Loss Tips at Home for Effective Weight Loss.
Many believe that you can lose some weight or pockets of unwanted fat around your body, and this reduces weight for good health. But nothing is far from the truth.
To lose weight and keep healthy, burn more calories than you eat.
Your optimum weight is measured by your BMI, which is related to your height and weight measurement for the amount of fat in your body.
More and more Peoples today are overweight because they consume more saturated fats or processed foods that attract more diseases.
Losing weight is usually easy for many people, but the challenge maintains weight loss.
However, if you regularly take the weight loss program, then it will be easy.
Here are some tips and tricks for your weight loss program to work effectively.
Eat less nutritious foods, such as fresh fruits and green vegetables; They contain fewer calories and high fiber, which translate to weight loss and extra weight in the way.
Avoid highly saturated fat foods such as deep-fried foods because excess fat is always kept away as additional fat.
One part of the weight loss maintenance program calls for reduced food selection, especially snacks. The fewer options you have, the lesser the temptations are.
Drinking a lot of water or low-calorie drinks is a great way to keep your weight steady because you are full of water instead of fat.
Listen to your mother who always asks you to chew your food. There is a lot of truth in that advice because it will take more time to eliminate your food, which you will feel quickly if you get tired as soon as possible.
It is important to stabilize the amount of sugar in your blood to reduce your weight. This can be achieved by eating the right type of food such as whole grains and dry beans that slowly release your glucose into your bloodstream.
Those who love hot chilies, there is another way of reducing their weight by consuming some black pepper with mustard on their food. It easily increases the metabolism of the body by 25%.

Film Review : It Follows (2015)
April 3, 2015 ThoughtsFromTheBooth
Directed By – David Robert Mitchell
Starring – Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Lili Sepe, Olivia Luccardi, Jake Weary, and Daniel Zovatto
A young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after getting involved in a sexual confrontation.
*Insert STD joke that everybody seems to be making here*
There. Now that THAT'S over with…
I feel the need in every horror review I write to point out that modern horror movies are hard to do correctly. First off, studios have trouble greenlighting a lot of horror films because the great ones almost HAVE to be rated R and rated R films hurt box office sales. If your film does get on its feet, then it's got to be pretty unique or else it's going to come off redundant and stale. As of late, there has been an almost "rebirth" of 80's style horror/thriller films that take simple premises and make them unique with style, atmosphere, and callbacks to horror classics of the 70s and 80s. Films like Drive, House of the Devil, The Guest, Cabin in the Woods, and The Innkeepers have done unique things with either tired tropes or dated plot devices. Cabin in the Woods did this perfectly and then spun us onto our head with the 3rd act. House of the Devil fully embodied an 80's slasher flick. The Innkeepers took a typical ghost story and through atmosphere and brilliant camera work, made it unique and special. That being said, I'll always respect and applaud films that try to do something different, or try to spice up something familiar. It Follows is a film that I respect, am intrigued by, but am left wishing it gave me a little bit more.
The film has a relatively easy premise. Whoever has "it" is followed by people, seemingly random people, and if they are caught, they die. They have to sleep with somebody and then "it" gets passed along to that person and the chain continues. If that person dies, "it" goes back down the chain of teenager sex until nobody is left. The followers only walk, and can't be seen by anybody else. Off the bat, that's a creepy premise. We all have been walking home late at night and notice that somebody is walking behind us. Even if that person is harmless, the sense of unease is there. So an entire film based on random people coming for you dead eyed at all hours of the night scares the shit out of me. I was disappointed though, not so much with the film, but rather by own self. You see, I wasn't scared, not once, throughout the whole film. Save for one scene, I was watching this film no differently than I would watch a Pixar film. I guess the suspense just didn't grab me or some outside forces from the day just numbed me to being scared but I just honestly wasn't tense at all. I did however appreciate how one could find this suspenseful. They certainly did a good job keeping the camera flowing at the right places and still at others. There were many 360 pan shots that revealed some horrible thing or a stagnant show with something coming closer in the distance. I liked that. The film is well made. I just didn't really get it.
Like I alluded to earlier, the film definitely paid tribute to classic films and directors. The score, which was amazing by the way, is straight from Carpenter himself. The night shots and horror scenes look like they were shot by Wes Craven. Hell, I was even reminded of The Shining a couple times when a scene would concludeand I was left scratching my head as to what the hell I just saw.
I think that's what is eating at me with this film. It's not as if I didn't like it. I liked it plenty. I just didn't get it enough to really love it. It's a film that could definitely change my opinion of it over time, but I'm just not there yet. It's flawed. The 3rd act was kind of a let down. There wasn't a satisfactory end. Ambiguous is fine, but I needed a little bit more from it before it ended, which it abruptly did. There seems to be a lot of underlying themes that have NOTHING TO DO WITH FUCKING STDS that I just can't seem to grasp. Is the film about relationships? We have Jay, a girl, played by Maika Monroe, running away from "it" while her friend Paul, played by Keir Gilchrist, is only trying to get closer to her. I enjoyed this dynamic. Is the film about the youth of adolescents? Are these kids literally running away from death which is slowly inching its way towards them? Like I said, "it" walks very slow. Whatever the main theme is, it's not obvious, which both excites me and frustrates me. I like challenging films. I also like to figure things out. I haven't figured this one out yet.
You should see the film. Why? Maybe you'll understand it more than I did. If you're a horror fan and have been waiting for a unique film that hasn't been done before, then go see it. It's a stylish film that does something completely different. Michael Meyers may have started the slow walk killer thing, but this film takes it to another level. I'll always pay to see films like this. I love ambition. I just may not always get it. I need to watch this again.

Why do my bands crack?
This is often due to incorrect tension of the band. Correct tension is vital if you want to get the best life from a band. I cannot stress this enough. Generally speaking, the band should be tensioned so it does not slip while it is working. Your manufacture's manual will give you detailed information about this.
From time to time, it may be necessary to make adjustments for band stretch. And something that most people do not do is to take off the tension when the machine is not being used – at least do this overnightand at weekends please.

Ballet – it is connection between the beauty of spirit and movement. Girls and boys have to keep the respect towards themselves and also the ambition of friendship. Among them there are the beautiful relationships, but also there is a noticeable tiredness from everyday training. Only the best has a chance to get to the highest tees. And all of them feel this pressure.


THE quotation attributed to Voltaire, "I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it", could have had Bertie Lewis in mind; other than it was uttered 200 years before Bertie made his mark on the community here in Bolton.
As Alan Calvert said in his excellent article last week, Bertie did upset quite a number of Service Veterans with his wreath laying on Remembrance Sunday and, yes, on more than one occasion his wreath was consigned to the rubbish bin by irate onlookers, who perhaps wrongly associated the white poppies with the "White Feathers" of World War I or the "white flag of surrender".
At the time I received many complaints from ex-Service personnel that something should be done to stop him and my response was to repeat Voltaire's first principle of democracy and outline Bertie's war record. If anyone had earned the right to exercise his freedom of speech and peaceful protest, then Bertie Lewis was that man. Born and raised in America, he joined our fight against Hitler by volunteering to serve in the Royal Air Force.
One true measure of a free society is how we treat the people who oppose the populist way; those who seek to make us think before we act; to judge and question the actions and decisions of those in Government.
