Here's to You, Mr. Do-It-Yourself Entrepreneur
2020 Had Some Big Tech Fails
Networthy Systems Blog Technology
2020 has been a rough year for a lot of people. With so many problems presenting themselves this year, technology wasn't immune. This week, we thought we would look back at some of the technology that failed miserably as the world changed precipitously.
Quibi's Quick Exit
In 2020, streaming services are all the rage. That's why Quibi thought that they could alter the business model somewhat and succeed. The streaming service offered some of the biggest names out there in short-form episodes. With so much talent connected it was easy for Quibi founders to get the financial backing they needed, some $1.75 billion in all, to press forward. They charged $5 a month for the service. At that price point, how could they fail?
With the pandemic sheltering a lot of people in place, people just didn't have the need for mobile-exclusive short-form content. Quibi wasn't available on any of the devices that people use to view content from home and therefore had middling demand, despite the celebrity attached.
Quibi shut down service just seven months after it's debut and most of the remaining investment was returned to the financiers.
So, what can we learn from Quibi's failure?
The old adage "timing is everything" stands true. Not to say that Quibi couldn't have failed in a normal economy, but the COVID-19 pandemic made people a lot less reliant on mobile for their chosen content and it negatively affected the company's chances to succeed.
Zoom's Security Missteps
As people were asked to stay inside to ward against the spread of COVID-19, individuals and businesses began to lean heavily on conferencing solutions. Some platforms simply weren't up to the challenge, but as the pandemic entered its second month, Zoom answered the call and was being used by hundreds of millions of people.
Unfortunately, Zoom didn't have the security in place early on, and it had negative effects for people. Hate groups would "Zoombomb" a meeting and share their bigoted world view, and other people reported being inundated with lewd conduct from outside parties while in a Zoom meeting.
Since then, Zoom has built onto their service and now has the security needed to be used by so many people to this day.
Celebrity Twitter Hack
It's off putting when people's social media accounts get hacked. 2020 saw some of the most high-profile people's Twitter accounts get hacked as a part of a Bitcoin scam. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, and Kanye West all had their Twitter accounts hacked in the scam.
Twitter quickly locked down the accounts and put the kibosh on the scam and has since taken further steps to ensure that that kind of scam won't happen again, but questions about account security and data privacy remain as a result of the hack.
Coronavirus Myths and Misinformation
In times of public crisis, hackers and scammers typically thrive. This was evident for most of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic brought out the worst. With so many people conducting their business and social lives online, it was the perfect opportunity for cybercriminals. Here are a few examples of problems created for people online due to the coronavirus:
Numerous conspiracy theories linking the development of 5G connectivity to COVID-19, resulting in acts of cell tower vandalism and assault against telecom employees.
Bill Gates being accused of masterminding COVID-19 or using the pandemic to implant people with microchips—despite his long history of contributing to disease-fighting causes and efforts.
Fumbled information sharing efforts on the part of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.
This was the year that you saw social media platforms step up and take a more aggressive stand against the sharing and spreading of misinformation.
How Does Any of This Affect Your Business?
You can take it one of two ways: First, it demonstrates that technology isn't always the answer to every problem, but if used as intended it can provide a lot of benefits. Second, regardless of the problems presented in the world, people will turn to technology to try and normalize their experiences.
At NetWorthy Systems, we realize that 2020 hasn't been the year you projected it to be, but with hardworking people looking to end this pandemic and get our day-to-day lives back to where they were in 2019, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Technology has been a big part of keeping economic and social lines of communication open during a time when we are all distanced from one another, and will play a big part in the post COVID-19 world.

The Way Connecticut Worked
By Sarajane Cedrone on	 February 6, 2017 Uncategorized
by David Corrigan & Mark H. Jones WINTER 2013/14
In 19th- and early 20th-century Connecticut, the experience of work changed dramatically as many traditional trades and crafts were rendered obsolete by mechanization. Many skilled mechanics and artisans who had worked alone or in small shops suddenly found themselves part of the large work forces required by the state's burgeoning factories. New professions such as typist, engineer, and draftsman appeared, while assembly lines became more common and agriculture became mechanized.
In two world wars, women proved that they could perform complex operations on machine tools with great precision, but old gender prejudices gave them this opportunity only during wartime. As technology advanced, more new jobs were created and women began making headway in employment,though often not at equal wages with men. However, not all work suddenly changed. The iceman was still delivering ice in the 1940s to those who could not afford refrigerators.
These images depict jobs that were once plentiful in Connecticut but that either no longer exist or that continue in
a form greatly altered by technology. By the mid-19th century, Connecticut industry had developed precision manufacturing (Colt's and Pope Bicycle images) and heavy manufacturing (Ames Iron Works and Farrell-Birmingham images). White collar jobs developed, too, as seen in the State Library images. But tobacco farming, oystering, and construction, as shown in images here, represent some of the manual labor occupations that continued well into the 20th century in much the same way as they had for generations.
Bicycle room, from "The Manufacture of Sewing Machines and Bicycles. The Weed Sewing Machine Factory," Scientific American, March 20, 1880. Col. Albert Pope contracted with The Weed Sewing Machine Co. in Hartford in 1878 to manufacture bicycles. This Scientific American article shows a pre-assembly-line mode of production using the vast array of parts produced elsewhere on the premises. Museum of Connecticut History
Military census, 1917, Connecticut State Library. In March 1917, one month before the U.S. declared war, Governor Marcus Holcomb launched a census of all men over the age of 16. Individuals filled out one-page forms or dictated answers to a census taker. The data was punched into Hollerith cards in the machine on the table in the foreground. Workers sorted the cards using the machines in the background, and the results were tabulated by machine. Five Connecticut insurance companies lent machines and technical assistance to the state. Note that women were employed in this occupation. State Archives, Connecticut State Library
Photostat department, Connecticut State Library. In 1917, State Librarian George Godard purchased a state-of-theart duplicating machine called a Photostat camera like the one used by the Library of Congress. It was used for preserving historical records and duplicating bills for members of the Connecticut General Assembly. State Archives, Connecticut State Library

Messaging systems are used to communicate in larger code bases by helping decouple classes that need to know about changes or happenings in certain areas of the code. One of Object Oriented Programming's core concepts is encapsulation. How you decide to allow objects to talk to each other has pro's and con's for each method and it's good to know your options as you can use many together in effective hybrid approaches.
This seven part series will cover the 5 common ones you'll often encounter.
That said, Promises and Streams tend to be most heavily used on the server-side and tend to be more interesting to Node.js developers for orchestration reasons.
While events are a euphemism for a message payload, I use messages, pub sub, and messaging system interchangeably throughout this article.
Events themselves are often used in both Promises and Streams as the message. The reason for this is that it's more flexible for method signatures to have a single object and then add/modify the data you need to those objects. That way, you can change the internals of the functions, but not have to change the function signatures. This makes refactoring easier to do. In typed languages, you can filter messages based on Event type. That said, most examples for smaller projects in both Promises and Streams utilize simple primitive values such Numbers and Strings. Considering languages like Java and Dart give you compile time and runtime strong-typing with the use of Generics, Event classes are quite powerful in those languages, and thus Streams tend to get more perks there.
As code bases grow, decoupling or "making the code not so intertwined" becomes challenging. Some engineering design patterns have been developed over the decades to help programmers fight back, and make Object Oriented Programmed code bases scalable.
Lots of classes. Lots of developers. Less spaghetti mess.
The 2 main ones are Model View Controller / Presenter architectures, and Publish Subscribe (also known as pub sub) messaging systems. It's important to point out that while these 2 systems are almost always used with each other, they are not mutually inclusive. You don't have to use MVC when using messaging systems, nor do you have to use messaging systems when using MVC. They just often end up being used together for larger applications to give the various actors a prescribed way of talking to each other. Games tend to forego MVC and use some form of Component Entity system, yet still often utilize a messaging system, albeit more targeted for performance reasons.
It's more common to see messaging systems built natively into programming languages to provide an easy way for various objects to talk to each other without having references to each other. As you and your team add more code, it is easy to tap into existing or new messages without having to care about many other classes. Usually a single mechanism, or message bus/broker, is responsible for registering and sending messages. C# has System.Message, CoronaSDK has Runtime, Director's Lingo has sendAllSprites, and Flash has stage.sharedEvents.
If you want various bits of code to talk to each other without multiple dependencies, you need a common messaging system everyone can use with an opt-in system for identifying themselves for those who need to know.
All messaging systems are supposed to allow one to one or one to many communication. One to one communication is quite easy in programming. You give one class or bit of code a reference to another, give them methods to talk to each other, and voila, they can have a private chat.
// objectA got a response: Hey There!
// objectB got a response: Hello!
The more references you add, however, the less flexible the reference passing or Composition approaches become. It increasingly becomes more challenging to untangle if you wish to make modifications the more objects you add.
Messaging systems help prevent tight coupling from happening and allow you to grow your code base, yet retain flexibility for refactoring.
All messaging systems implement these in various ways, and many native and library implementations vary on how they implement the above parts.
Read more in Part 2 – Callbacks.
I'd add thunks to the list. It's like callbacks, except passing in the callback is latter, and can be done many times. Thunks are amazing: very promise like (which I'd grown to love), but by staying at a level of dealing with higher-order functions rather than objects I find there's a lot less syntactic cruft, a lot less creating functions for a .then().
Wow! Nice detailed overview about all major systems. Can see how much work you've put in there.

Do you think it will dip below the half cycle low?
Are you still playing oil here? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
We gave it another shot, but got stopped out at break even. For a tweezer bottom and strong follow through day, which also broke the cycle down trend line (powerful bottoming pattern) to get reversed immediately I think it's pretty clear at this point that Washington is going to keep oil suppressed ahead of the elections. So I won't trade oil until after that.
Gary, the market put in a Hindenberg Omen yesterday. These are a combination of technical data points, that tend to mark market peaks. The idea however is that you need a confirming H.O, meaning another one within the next 30 days to validate it. Then if you get a second H.O in the required time frame, you are officially on "crash watch" and that lasts for about 4 months. I am looking for 20% haircut in the next 4 months.
I think it's more likely that the market forms a megaphone topping pattern over the next 4-6 months.
But like you said we need confirmation, and multiple omens, not just two, are much more reliable.
Can you comment on Friday's huge volume and huge BOW?
Options expiration explains the volume. I didn't see any BoW numbers during the day so I assume it was another one of those fake numbers that are manufactured after the close. Some one can correct me if I'm wrong as I wasn't able to monitor the numbers during the last two hours.
Friday was ex-dividend for SPY so that is the reason for huge volume and BoW.
Also that little thing, what was it? Oh.. BABA ipo.


Congressman Smith, right, and Four Star General Gen. Carlton Everhart, commander of the Air Mobility Command, met to discuss Jt. Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst's prospects for new tankers in early 2016.
U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) announced today that the Air Force has chosen Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB-MDL) to host the next generation KC-46 refueling tankers. With the designation of a Main Operating Base (MOB), JB-MDL is now slated to receive 24 new KC-46 Pegasus tankers to replace the current fleet of KC-10 Extenders.
"Securing this vitally important air refueling mission not only significantly enhances US military power but will help the sustainability of the Joint Base from any future closure," said Smith, Dean of the New Jersey Congressional Delegation who represents a large portion of the installation. "The servicemembers at the Joint Base have truly earned this mission. The skilled human capital that makes the base run, the proven track record of success in ensuring our military has the strategic ability to operate around the world and the strong support of our local communities brings unparalleled capabilities to the Air Force and our national security.
With this approval JB-MDL is one of only two bases named to receive the next generation tankers this round. The Air Force announced that Travis AFB in California will also receive 24 KC-46s.
Smith, who led the delegation letter urging the Air Force to designate JB-MDL in July 2016, has repeatedly stressed that the installation is the ideal location for the new tankers: it is the nation's only tri-service joint installation; is home to over 80 mission partners that includes active duty, Reserve and Guard units; and is Air Mobility Command's premier East Coast refueling hub that enables U.S. global reach around the world.
The base's current 32 KC-10s are continually targeted for retirement and will now be replaced by the new KC-46s. The base also hosts eight KC-135 Stratotankers and 13 C-17 Globemaster III airlifters, and other planes and helicopters.
The base has traditionally enjoyed strong support from the local community. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders on Jan. 11, in a board resolution to the Air Force noted it fully supported the siting of the new KC-46A aerial refueling tanker aircraft at the Joint Base and urged the Air Force to consider all aspects of the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in its decision, including its current air mobility mission and its superior location for trans-Atlantic operations.
Last January, the Air Force announced that JB-MDL was one of 11 installations in the running for MOB4, and then made the candidates list of the final five bases announced in June 2016—joined by Dover AFB, Fairchild AFB, Grand Forks AFB, and Travis AFB.
JB-MDL is the largest employer in the region, second only to the State of New Jersey as the largest employer in the Garden State, and contributes $6.9 billion annually to the regional economy.

Q: glfw + glew : unresolved external symbol with older functions I have some issues with glfw3 and glew.

If I comment the glClearColor and glClear lines the program runs well (even the glGenBuffers part). So I don't understand why I can use some openGl functions but can't use some others.
OS : windows 7 64 bits.

glew version 1.10.0.

A: Problem solved.
I actually forgot to link the OpenGL library.
Thank you for the help.

All the kirtanas are made available in Ogg format. Actually this compression is about same level as mp3 compression. The major advantages are (1) this is completely free from license-patent-trade mark restrictions, (2) it is [in our opinion] better technically- in copying, playing, editing and encoding.
At present only texts -"sahitya" of the kirtanas are available for downloading.
The text of kirtanas are given as pdf files - in Telugu Script so that you can download and read them even if your system does not have support for Telugu.
Tyagaraja Kirtanas: You can browse by kirtanas, ragas or talas- for selecting the required kirtana.
Annamacharya Kirtanas: You can browse by kirtanas- Kirtanas-Part1, Kirtanas-Part2 or ragas- Ragas-Part1, Ragas-Part2 for selecting the required kirtana.

CNN anchor is destroyed on air, over coverage of Trump-Russia investigation
Russia developing hypersonic jets that can bypass any anti-missile system
Article first appeared on RussiaFeed.
Talk about a network news host getting owned. This CNN anchor got destroyed by former New Hampshire Governor and White House Chief of Staff under President George H. W. Bush, John Sununu.
Sununu's kill shot was when he perfectly summarized CNN's entire Russia – Trump coverage in one devastating sentence…
"Politically motivated news organization trying to rationalize a horribly run Democratic campaign."
Bottom line…you can investigate just about anything if you don't need evidence, which is exactly what is unfolding in Washington DC, on the American taxpayer's dime.
President Trump suggests that US' own intel agencies aren't the final word [Video]
CNN will not be having Mr. Sununu on air anytime soon.
John Henry Sununu (born July 2, 1939) is a Cuban-born American politician who served as the 75th Governor of New Hampshire (1983–89) and later White House Chief of Staff under President George H. W. Bush. He is the father of John E. Sununu, the former United States Senator from New Hampshire, and Christopher Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire. Sununu was the chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party from 2009 to 2011.

Luang Prabang is . . .
coffee, Beerlao, World Heritage Site, creperies, and Chinese-manufactured automobiles. In a word, Luang Prabang is salubrious.
When our story was interrupted last time, Nathan had just been removed from the hospital at Trat. The oxygen and IV and overnight stay there coincided with the breaking of his fever (from the measles) which he was subsequently diagnosed with at a hospital in Bangkok. Naturally, Air Canada forbade him to return to Canada as scheduled with his still contagious disease, so we had a chance to enjoy some of the things that we had put off earlier in the trip when Nathan was bedridden.
We went to the hair salon with Harmony and Amanda. Yo, wazzup 905! Keeping it real in Sam Khok (and bringing along the new Dickens biography in case the gangster thing gets old).
At the famous Tummour restaurant we had a feast to enjoy Thai food one more time before Harmony's departure the next morning. I was particularly impressed with my language skills on this evening. Tummour's menu consists of one small piece of paper, written entirely in Thai script. That I could order what was described as "the best meal we had this trip" without even consulting the menu, nor resorting to my native language, strikes me as extraordinary.
We had previously canceled golf on three occasions because Nathan couldn't be at the hospital and the golf course at the same time. On his penultimate day in Thailand, Amanda went to the spa (as she had on the occasion of his first hospital visit more than a week earlier) while Nathan and I went to the challenging Northern Rangsit Golf Club for a round. Nathan birdied the third hole with a perfect pitch shot from 60 yards; I countered with a birdie of my own on the tenth hole, and we enjoyed the yardage markers, pruned into a veritable zoological garden of fanciful animals and dinosaurs to mark the distance from the fairway to the green.
And then there was the shopping. If only these shirts were in my size!
You will have seen by now the official photos from Harmony, Amanda, and Nathan's visit to Thailand. I have now been authorized to show the rest of the story. What you find here contains a faithful account of the fortunes, misfortunes, uprisings, downfallings, in short, a complete report of the trip.
We began at Phuket. Nathan's drinking proclivities, strongly bent towards blended sweet drinks, were on regular display. This was before the terrible illness that would occupy us for the succeeding week.
From Phuket we went to Bangkok. Nathan fell dreadfully ill. We wondered if he had caught an obscure bacterial infection from his one hour fish foot spa experience at Phuket. At the Damnoen Saduak floating market he summoned the energy to shop for tamarinds and other exotic items. I might describe his performance that morning as plucky, near-heroic -- contact Nathan directly if you would like to see a photo of that hands-on shopping experience.
On my birthday he was extremely sick, admitted to the emergency room at Hua Hin Hospital, diagnosed with the flu, and we spent five hours together as he was sedated and an intravenous solution was injected into his left hand. Meanwhile, Amanda and Harmony went to the spa and then relaxed by the swimming pool.
After being discharged from the hospital, and provisioned with a bagful of drugs and a diagnosis of flu, we proceeded to the other side of the Gulf of Thailand, taking a vehicular ferry across the open sea to Ko Chang. On this ferry I exhibited again the stunning visual effect (slimming) of vertical stripes.
Little did we know that our rakish tour of Thailand was rapidly turning into a hospital tour of Thailand. We would be on an emergency ferry ride off the island a mere 27 hours later, with Nathan unconscious and his family at Canada blissfully unaware of the severity of his illness. All those drugs he was taking for the flu? No effect. For he never had the flu. But more about that later.
While Nathan was bedridden at Ko Chang, we did some rakish shopping, fine dining, and enjoyed the great natural beauty of Ko Chang Marine National Park. Or, we enjoyed it as much as we could in the short time we had there, for Nathan went to the hospital at Ko Chang with a terrible rash and fever while I continued my quadracious training program by running from an elephant camp up a valley to a tropical waterfall. The prognosis at the hospital was grim. He would need to be transferred to the provincial hospital at Trat, so we packed our bags, checked out from the hotel, and rushed to catch the day's last ferry off the island.
To make a long story short, Nathan was admitted to the hopsital at Trat and spent nearly 24 hours there. He was on supplemental oxygen and an intravenous solution. The doctor there found he did not have flu, but could not find the problem, and recommended that we transfer him to a hospital at Bangkok.
Which we did, but not before I freshened up a bit at Trat. For we had been in such a rush to catch the ferry at Ko Chang, you see, that I had no time for a shower after my elephant camp run. This was rapidly turning into an extraordinary tour through the emergency wards of Thailand's provincial hospitals.
We did return to Bangkok, Nathan went to another hospital, was diagnosed with measles, and recovered. The aftermath of that recovery was documented comprehensively and will be shared in a forthcoming report.
My first round of the year was a casual one with Bambi and friends at Bangkok Golf Club. We had been out to Thaniya Plaza the night before to buy fashionable new shorts. With our focus on looking good, we did not bother to play a match. And that was good news for my would-have-been opponents, as I continued my stellar form and birdied the challenging 10th and 17th holes.
I made a hole-in-one on the 18th hole of the Dino Park course at Phuket later in the month, but was no match for Nathan Morrissette who aced two holes and beat me soundly on this challenging course. Among the hazards are authentic scale replicas of prehistoric creatures, an erupting volcano, piles of simulated dinosaur dung, a pervading humidity, and well-placed water hazards. So much for going undefeated in 2010.
But I recovered quickly from the thrashing at mini-golf by winning soundly at the "one and only" Kantarat Golf Course at Bangkok's Don Muang airport. This course is operated by the Royal Thai Air Force and sits between the runways. I won my match 8&6, sparked by a birdie on the 10th hole (shown below), followed up by another birdie at the 11th. Was I really inspired by the Nok Air 737 take-off to raise my own game to new heights? Considering that Nok means bird in Thai, and the paint scheme of the planes is remarkably like a bird, and I make a lot of birdies, then I must answer in the affirmative.

GSSArchitecture were appointed by the school as Architects and CDM Coordinators in the final phase to the reorganisation of the centre of Stamford School's campus, following the masterplan, which was also prepared by GSSArchitecture.
This project involved the conversion of the former gym into a performing arts studio, a green room, teaching areas, music practice and a recording studio, and the upgrade of the hall, which was refurbished with retractable seating, the removal of the stage and new light and sound equipment.
The exterior of the 1960's gym building was refurbished featuring timber fins with lighting behind, which will improve the buildings appearance in its prominent location, almost at the heart of Stamford's historic town centre.
Along with the refurbishment works, the electrical and heating systems were also upgraded.

An American Board Certified Colorist and Redken Certified Colorist, Salon Plaza has just awarded April Baxter as the Member of the Month for July. This October, she will have owned her Studio Salon with Salon Plaza for 5 years.
Here's April's story on how she chose Salon Plaza and became one of our most prosperous Member Salon Owners.
For about 6 years I'd been doing hair at a salon that I really liked. And when my second child came along, what I really needed was more flexibility. That's why I started looking for other options.
But then again, nobody gains anything without taking chances.
They love the privacy, flexibility and the chance to get more done. For instance, a new mom can bring her baby and save money on a sitter. Or double-task and attend a meeting or get work done using her computer. They wouldn't be able to do that in a busy, noisy, traditional salon.
In my private studio, they can come during the workweek rather than waste a Saturday getting their hair done. For me, it means I can reserve Saturdays for those who live far away. I work around their schedule, and they work around mine.
I'm a miracle worker with hair – that's what they tell me. Most of my clients have been with me for a long time and already have healthy hair. Once in a while, they might need me to fix someone else's mistake.
A few weeks ago, a naturally dark-haired woman came in with a silver-blond look. Her friend had done her hair, and it was breaking off. Over the next two months I restore her hair, and now she's a nice silky soft, silvery blond. She got the FUN look she wanted!
I'm as busy as I want to be. My clients are the best. They are so sweet, I really take care of them and in turn they take care of me. On the rare occasion when someone needs to reschedule, it's fine – sometimes a break is welcome. I'm very rarely sitting and waiting.
For each referral, the new guest receives $10 off her first appointment and my client who gave the referral receives $10 off her next appointment.
The key to a referral is to understand that you are being given the chance to gain a new, repeat guest. When this happens, it makes the $10 + $10 referral program a profitable business-builder for any salon professional. IF your new client becomes a regular guest, that is.
I'm passionate about the comfort of my guests. With a new client especially, make sure you are being truly attentive. Remember the first time you walked in somewhere for a new service? It can be uncomfortable meeting someone one for the first time. Keep communication open.
If you're running late, let them know with a text. Ask yourself, "How would I want to be treated?" and do likewise.
When they arrive, greet them warmly, make good eye contact and use their name. This shows you appreciate them coming in. Take time to show them where the bathroom is and how the light works. Offer them a clean robe so their shirt won't get wet and show them where to change. This is all about getting the client prepared for their consultation and service.
Are you a stay at home mom or do you get up at 5 to get to work on time in D.C.?
Are we just touching up what you have or do you want a whole new look?
What exactly about your hair are you not liking?
The point is, I want them to like their hair. Google makes it so you don't need those stilted, outdated hair magazines. Instead, look at images on Google to get ideas.
Clients often want what the celebrity has. But celebrities can have 20 different hairstyles. So just grab your phone and look at a couple of things to get an idea of what your guest is looking for, even if she can't visualize it yet.
Let them know upfront how much it's going to cost, how long will it take, and the necessary maintenance – will she need to come in monthly or just a few times a year? Provide them with all of the info so they know what to expect. People are really busy and their money is stretched in a thousand ways.
I'm all about the Reality of the look. I price quote my clients in the beginning about costs that day and over the long run. That way there's no sticker shock – we make and keep an agreement.
We're all here to help each other. This mindset keeps relationships smoother. I teach them what to use and how to touch up their roots, or how to trim their kids' bangs. When you treat others they way they want to be treated, this builds loyalty.
Let them know what you are doing, such as this is your base color, this is your highlights. Check out my next post for more about the SCIENCE of hair – it will establish you as the expert in your client's eyes.
Be sure to take an interest in their family life, and their challenges, hopes and dreams. Remember, it's about THEM, not you.
While your guest is admiring her new look, show her how to style it and what she'll need to keep it looking good. Selling products is a service to your client and saves them time. Some would rather purchase where they can get a discount, so I tell them where they can get it.
We end with booking the next appointment. This makes sure they can get in when the time is right. Otherwise, they may be waiting two weeks or more. Almost all of my clients books their next visit before they leave. I highly suggest you encourage the same.

Nature Informs Art
Heather Shoning
Rocky Mountain artists-in-residence programs offer creatives a new perspective

Walking in nature is relaxing. It inspires joy and reduces stress. And when you factor in the beauty of the Colorado landscape, just think what it can do for creativity among artists. There are dozens of artists-in-residence programs across a variety of disciplines throughout the state—and many in the Denver metro.
But Miami-based artist Cara Despain set her sights on the high country to connect with nature that inspires all her work, and she was in for a surprise when she arrived at Anderson Ranch Arts Center just outside of Aspen in 2020. The 5-acre campus was once a working sheep ranch. Today 14 historic buildings have been renovated—many of which are studio spaces with glass garage doors providing a connection to the outdoors for working artists. "There are many ways that the environment informs the artist experience at Anderson Ranch," says Katherine Roberts, director of marketing and communications. "Many artists will articulate that they are experiencing something entirely different than what their day-to-day life is in terms of the landscape. They can't help but be inspired by that. It often informs their work—the colors, the textures."
Despain works in a variety of disciplines to address issues related to climate change and frontierism and their impacts on ecosystems. "Climate change and environmental impacts—you can see them in a pronounced way in just my short life," she says. About a year prior to her stay at Anderson Ranch, Despain began working on her carbon project. She collected burnt debris from wildfires in California to create "carbon paintings" that represent climate change and sustained forest mismanagement. When she arrived in Aspen, she discovered the nearby burn scar of the 12,000-acre Lake Christine Fire that devastated Basalt and Carbondale just two years prior. Working with the Anderson Ranch staff, she was able to visit the area, collect debris and create more pieces for her project during her residency. She then returned in 2021 to collect debris and create more work from the Troublesome Fire. The beauty of nature calls her, the devastation she witnesses ignites her artwork.

Cara Despain says her carbon works are not intended to be aesthetic. Instead, they represent "spent/wrecked vistas and places—rather than pristine wilderness." She created this carbon painting with debris from the 2018 Lake Christine Fire in Eagle County.
In addition to building on her carbon project, Cara Despain's stay at the Anderson Ranch allowed her to learn new technology to create a geo-accurate, low-relief sculpture of the Nevada Test Site, where nuclear bomb testing took place from 1951 to 1992.

Commercial Director Jean O'Donovan, Managing Partner of Brightwater Executive Estelle Davis and members of the accountancy recruitment team Ciarán Bergin, Robert Patterson and Annita McGettigan were all in attendance at this key networking event in the ACA calendar.
The evening commenced with the Presidents Reception and provided a great opportunity to meet with members of Chartered Accountants Ireland. Shortly after the dinner began, which was a celebration of Ireland's high-quality food produce. Guests were welcomed by the MC of the night Eugene McCague, who introduced Pat Costello, CEO of Chartered Accountants Ireland and Liam Lynch, this year's President. Both speakers provided topical and informative addresses to this years guests.
James P Rubin analyst, consultant and commentator on world affairs and U.S. foreign policy was keynote speaker for the evening. Mr. Rubin served under President Bill Clinton as Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs. He was also Chief Spokesman for Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright from 1997 to 2000. Mr Rubin previously acted as a negotiator to secure the demobilization of the Kosovo Liberation Army. It was certainly interesting to hear his insights into the current state of global affairs and their impact of the world market.
While some uncertainty remains in the accountancy market following Brexit and the US presidential election, parts of the accountancy employment market remain solid. Recruitment activity in financial services and industry has slowed down somewhat, however once uncertainty about the market diminishes, job levels will increase again. We saw positive signs of growth in financial services towards the end of 2016 particularly in aircraft leasing, insurance, funds and asset management and we expect this to continue throughout 2017. We are seeing regular job creation announcements and increased trainee intake across practice which is a highly encouraging sign for the year ahead.


Out & About Pensacola is a Northwest Florida regional digital magazine whose focus is to cover and uncover all the events, places and faces in Pensacola and the surrounding areas. We publish articles, reviews and events daily.
We are an entrepreneurial team – in its truest form. This startup grew out of a love for the area and wanting to uncover more of what the Pensacola area has to offer.
At Out & About Pensacola, we have a firm grasp on how to leverage social media to reach a larger audience. We have a website, Twitter, Google+ and Facebook presence.
Our goal is not only to show all the amazing things there are to do in Pensacola, but we also want to connect local businesses to our Northwest Florida audience.
We work independently. Our mantra is to reach all demographics. As an example, Out and About recently identified an unfulfilled niche in fishing tournament coverage along the Gulf Coast. Each year there are many popular fishing tournaments hosted by bait and tackle establishments. The tournaments have large followings from the organizers, vendors, participants and the spectators — a large amount of time and money is invested in each event. Out and About positioned itself to be the only single source where anyone can check on weigh-ins, boats and anglers. This coverage has far-reaching appeal.
Development of mobile phone apps to advertise food and beverage specials, and events near the user's location.
Do-it-yourself weddings, parties, clothing, crafts and more.
Video series on our YouTube channel covering local events.
Out and About has far reaching appeal. The goal is to reach every target demographic in Northwest Florida. We will leverage every avenue to reach every group of people. This is a big order to fill, but we are up for the challenge.
Current methods to reach our audiences are publishing articles on our website, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,Google+, etc.), event calendars and networking with other local Pensacola websites.
Future methods of reaching our audiences will include two new websites PensacolaFoodies.com and CobiaMadness.com, printed media, printed O&A Survival Guides (Mardi Gras, holidays, cobia madness, Memorial Day Weekend), TV and radio media, billboards and other means to reach Northwest Florida.
Our readership finds us through our social media, our website, regular email updates, RSS feeds and from their friends.
Out & About Pensacola operates in a blog style format. We don't have issue dates, we post our content when it is ready to be uploaded to our website. We don't want our readers to have to wait for time sensitive information about the Northwest Florida area.
Our website is full of food reviews, interviews, events, how-tos, lifestyle pieces and special features a minimum of twice per week.
With all that we have to offer, our rate of growth, affordable prices and all of the features we have coming, it just makes sense to advertise with us. What do you have to lose?

Carolina's Story - Housing Instability During COVID-19
Before the pandemic, like many international students, Carolina was working in hospitality. She had heard about COVID-19, but wasn't too worried about it.
'At the beginning, I understood there was a pandemic, but I didn't think it would get like this. I thought I would just have to stay home for a bit and it would be okay. But then everyone started talking... and I got scared.'
Things changed quickly, and Carolina felt trapped. As an international student, she doesn't get government support.
'... when JobKeeper started, they said they couldn't keep me on anymore because I'm not a resident. They couldn't pay me. I decided to stay here, because the virus was back home too and Australia had handled it really well. Even if I wanted to go back to my country, I can't because the flights are too expensive,' she explains.
Stuck in Australia with no income, she still needs to pay for her visa and study to stay here legally. Knowing the pandemic might not get better anytime soon, Carolina got in touch with her agent early to explain her situation but didn't get the response she expected.
'I want to do the right thing... I tried to negotiate but they refused all my offers. I tried all the time to pay our rent, but they kept refusing to reduce it. They were pushing me and saying that if I couldn't afford the rent then I needed to find somewhere else.'
Carolina's agent refused to negotiate a rent reduction and told her that if she left she would need to pay break lease fees. She was being pressured to pay money she simply didn't have.
Carolina's difficult situation reflects the experiences of many renters in Victoria who can't pay rent and are struggling to secure a rent reduction from their landlord. The situation is often even more serious for international students, 60% of whom lost their jobs during the pandemic and are unable to access government support.
'That's why I contacted IMCL to help me, because this was really bad... and my English and the fact that I'm only a student made it even harder.'
Despite what her agent was telling her, IMCL Senior Lawyer Louisa Bassini explained to Carolina that the new temporary laws meant that the landlord can't evict her during the pandemic and that she can't be charged lease break fees during severe hardship.
After speaking with Louisa, Carolina felt an initial sense of relief, explaining 'I felt better after I spoke to Louisa... [she] is going to help me. Before, I felt alone and didn't know what to do. Now I have someone. I feel really safe with her.'
Even with Louisa's support, the mediation proceess with her landlord through Consumer Affairs Victoria was long and hard for Carolina. Struggling to cope with the stress and worried about the debt piling up whilst the landlord refused to agree on a reduction, she considered moving back to her home country. But with COVID-19 making international travel difficult and expensive, this wasn't a viable option either.
After an agreement still wasn't reached through mediation, Carolina was again close to giving up. But, with Louisa's support and guidance, she agreed to keep fighting for her rights and go to VCAT where she knew the tribunal member could make a decision against the wishes of the landlord, forcing them to giver her a rent reduction.
The hearing was by video and Louisa made submissions about Carolina's severe hardship and loss of income. VCAT took this into account and Carolina ordered a fair rent reduction of 50%. Without the burden of an unmanageable debt weighing on her mind, Carolina has been able to feel confident about her future and move into more affordable accommodation.
'I'm not worried anymore... it saved my life. I moved to another apartment and now I wake up happy.'

5 Takeaways from the Dash Hong Kong Statement
June 29, 2017 Eric Sammons Bitcoin, Dash, DashForceNews, Evan Duffield
The movie Braveheart depicts William Wallace leading a Scottish rebellion against the English. After some initial but small successes, the Scottish nobles squabble among themselves over minor issues like land titles and rights of succession. Wallace confronts the nobles and declares he's going to invade England itself—a seemingly impossible task.
I was reminded of this scene when reading Dash founder Evan Duffield's Hong Kong Statement. Having initially scored some small successes against the reigning fiat-money system, the Bitcoin community now squabbles over things like SegWit, 2MB block sizes, and Lightning Network. But Duffield wants to "invade England" and challenge the whole fiat payments system. You can't criticize the Dash founder for being timid, to be sure.
I've only just begun to digest the Hong Kong Statement, but for now I want to focus on five takeaways in particular.

Per sindrome dell'Avana si intende una tipologia di malesseri insorti nel 2016 in alcuni membri del personale dell'ambasciata statunitense presso L'Avana. Episodi simili sono successivamente stati segnalati dal personale dell'ambasciata canadese nella capitale cubana, nonché da quello di diverse sedi diplomatiche statunitensi sparse per il mondo, tra cui Guangzhou, Berlino e Vienna.

Le persone affette hanno riferito sintomi tra cui vertigini, mal di testa, stanchezza, nausea, ansietà, alterazioni sensoriali (tra cui deficit all'udito) e perdite di memoria.

Nel corso del tempo sono state avanzate più ipotesi sulle cause di questo fenomeno, compreso l'impiego di armi a microonde e soniche da parte di governi stranieri, ma l'eziologia non è stata ancora chiarita.

Eventi
I primi casi vennero segnalati nei primi mesi del 2016 da alcuni membri della CIA di stanza all'Avana, ma la notizia trapelò solo nell'inverno del 2017, quando membri del corpo diplomatico statunitense riferirono di presentare dei malesseri. Tra il 2016 e il 2018 circa ventisei membri della rappresentanza statunitense risultarono colpiti dalla sindrome.

Gli individui affetti dichiararono in larga parte di aver udito prima della comparsa dei sintomi una specie di ronzio, proveniente da una direzione specifica, di durata variabile tra i 20 secondi e i 30 minuti, mentre altri una leggera pressione o vibrazione sulla testa, oppure una sensazione simile a quando si viaggia in macchina tenendo il finestrino semiaperto. Curiosamente, le persone vicine ai soggetti interessati non avevano percepito alcunché di anomalo.

Oltre ai diplomatici statunitensi, nel 2017 almeno un membro dell'ambasciata canadese nella capitale cubana sarebbe stato affetto da perdita dell'udito manifestatasi dopo episodi analoghi. In una dichiarazione ufficiale pubblicata nel gennaio del 2019, il governo canadese affermò che sarebbero 14 i connazionali colpiti dalla sindrome (includendo impiegati dell'ambasciata e relativi familiari); tuttavia nel 2021 alcuni diplomatici, protestando per essere stati assegnati all'ambasciata cubana, sostennero che i casi sarebbero di più, e che il governo non avrebbe garantito sufficiente protezione al corpo diplomatico di stanza a Cuba.

Possibili cause
L'origine del fenomeno risulta ignota, e più cause sono state suggerite.

Armi soniche
Nella primavera del 2017 venne avviata un'indagine da parte dell'FBI, che inviò alcuni agenti a L'Avana. Nel report finale tuttavia l'agenzia affermò di non aver rinvenuto prove di utilizzo di armi soniche.

Risonanze magnetiche effettuate su alcuni diplomatici affetti da parte di un gruppo di ricerca della Università della Pennsylvania evidenziarono un ridotto volume della sostanza bianca a livello regionale, una ridotta integrità del cervelletto e delle funzioni uditive e visuo-spaziali, compatibili con un trauma cranico.

Armi a microonde
Uno studio effettuato da esperti della National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine commissionato dal Dipartimento di Stato e pubblicato nel dicembre del 2020 arrivò alla conclusione che l'origine più probabile del fenomeno fosse ragionevolmente attribuibile ad un'arma ad energia pulsata, un tipo di tecnologia che sarebbe stato oggetto di ampie ricerche in Unione Sovietica. La United States Intelligence Community e membri del governo americano (sia durante la presidenza Trump che quella Biden) hanno più volte sostenuto il coinvolgimento dei servizi segreti russi, sebbene nessuna accusa sia mai stata avanzata formalmente.

Nessuna prova dell'impiego di armi a microonde è stata tuttavia ritenuta oggettivamente soddisfacente.

Fattori ambientali
L'unità di analisi comportamentale dell'FBI analizzò le dichiarazioni delle vittime degli attacchi all'ambasciata dell'Avana rilasciate durante le indagini da parte dell'agenzia, arrivando alla conclusione che potesse trattarsi di un caso di isteria di massa. Alla medesima conclusione arrivò il comitato di esperti JASON, interrogato dal Dipartimento di Stato, suggerendo che si potesse parlare di disturbi psicosomatici.

Il succitato rapporto del National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine del dicembre 2020 sosteneva che cause psicologiche e sociali potessero aver causato o contribuito allo sviluppo dei sintomi, sebbene non in tutti i casi.

Un report preliminare sulle indagini svolte dalla CIA, pubblicato nel gennaio del 2022, ha tuttavia escluso questa evenienza, suggerendo che buona parte dei casi siano da ricondurre a fattori ambientali, elevato stress e condizioni mediche non precedentemente diagnosticate.

Note

Malattie idiopatiche


In a previous article we explained peripheral neuropathy and here in this article WebMD explain the treatment options.
Anticonvulsant and antidepressant drugs are often the first line of treatment.
Some neuropathic pain studies suggest the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Aleve or Motrin, may ease pain.
Some people may require a stronger painkiller.
Be sure to discuss the pros and cons of the medicine you take with your doctor.
If another condition, such as diabetes, is involved, better management of that disorder may alleviate the pain. Effective management of the condition can also help prevent further nerve damage.
In cases that are difficult to treat, a pain specialist may use an invasive or implantable device to effectively manage the pain.
Electrical stimulation of the nerves involved in neuropathic pain may significantly control the pain symptoms.
I have Sjogren's Syndrome, Polymyositis and also Fibromyalgia all of which are know to be associated with peripheral neuropathy.
I was diagnosed, through an EMG, with peripheral neuropathy in 2017 even though I have had the numbness and tingling for over 10 years.
These symptoms were in my toes, feet, calves, fingers, hands, wrists, forearms and lips and sometimes my tongue.
Finally a new pain rehabilitation specialist prescribed anti-depressants for this neuropathy and within 3 days the symptoms were gone.
Apparently the antidepressants block the nerve pathways. I don't really understand as I am not a medical specialist just very happy that I no longer have the burning, electric, numbness and tingling sensations.
I was not depressed but this is the treatment that works for me. I have taken many other treatments in the past including Tramadol and Lyrica but they all gave me bad side effects which you can read about here.
Recommended by my podiatrist. Really cuts the pain. Please, please give it time. You are not going to get instant results.....But I have used for two months now and am very pleased with its effectiveness compared to another product I was using. There is no fragrance and it's easily absorbed into the skin. What relief this product has brought to my painful feet!
Did you know I am an Amazon Affiliate? This means if you do happen to purchase anything through my link I get a small percentage (5% or less) at NO EXTRA COST TO YOU.
Hi, yes pain is an extremely common condition. Great to hear from you.


"Wow. I bought the Detox Beauty Bar right before I went out to 18 days in the the dusty Black Rock desert. I was able to use it randomly out there- but upon my return- 3 weeks later – my skin- without anything else but some good toning and moisturizing- is nearly clog free. No small feat! I don't have severe acne- just that annoying oil clogging that occurs with city grime, sweat and stress- so I would imagine the results would take longer with a person who has a recurring skin issues- but I would encourage anyone who is doubtful to give it a try and stick with it for a good 4-6 weeks.
I hope you will continue to make this bar soap treatment- it really does work. Thank you Luxa Skin for creating a reasonably priced product for all. BTW- I did cut mine in half so it wouldn't get washed away in my shower or sit in dish soaping up while I wasn't there. Which you may want to pass on to your customers. I do think bar soaps are way more economical in the long spell. Thanks again!
