A: Walkthrough for adding a Custom Folder under "This PC".
What you need:

*

*A folder you'd like to add (in this sample, I'll use "C:\Projects").

*An icon for said folder if you want to use a custom icon (in this sample, I'll use "C:\Projects\projects.ico")

*A GUID (in this sample, I'll use "EB39BB71-9B3B-4C47-BB02-F35CFAED1685". It'll work for your first custom folder you add, but if you'd like to add more custom folders you'll need to create new GUIDs)

What you need to do:

*

*A whole bunch of registry hacks.

*

*Navigate to [HKCR\CLSID]

*Create a new Key with the name "{EB39BB71-9B3B-4C47-BB02-F35CFAED1685}"

*Inside the Key [HKCR\CLSID{EB39BB71-9B3B-4C47-BB02-F35CFAED1685}] right click on "(Default)", select modify and specify the value "Projects".

*Inside the Key [HKCR\CLSID{EB39BB71-9B3B-4C47-BB02-F35CFAED1685}] right click and select "New > String Value". Call this new value "InfoTip" and give it the value "C:\Projects".

*Inside the Key [HKCR\CLSID{EB39BB71-9B3B-4C47-BB02-F35CFAED1685}] right click and select "New > DWORD (32 Bit) Value". Call this new value "System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree" and give it a value of "1".

We've tried them all from Appeagle, Sellery, xSellco, Amazon's own pricing, others I can't even remember and seen demos of even more.
Hands down, Repricer Express is the best repricer for newbies and has more features in its entry plan than others at their top plans.
It is super simple to set up and you can see what prices will be before committing to start pushing changes to Amazon.
The repricing rules give you a lot of simple easy to understand fine tuning to make sure you are not competing with low ball and international sellers.
For instance Amazon's new internal repricing allows you to exclude sellers that are 5% lower than your Feedback Score. Repricer Express can exclude sellers at any score and more importantly by the count of feedbacks. You may not want to price against a new sellers with only 1, 5 or even 50 Feedbacks.
Also, to this day, other repricers at 10 times the cost cannot exclude all Chinese and international sellers.
Lastly, it's nice to be able to get support questions answered quickly and especially on weekends. In this day and age of connectivity where one rep with a mobile phone sitting at home could respond to support chats and emails, you would think that all repricers would understand how important it is to get answers quickly however many do not have any after hour or weekend support especially since they are supporting retail 24/7 clients.
We've been using Repricer Express for 11 months and are super happy. Thank you Repricer Express!
Thanks for taking the time to write this thorough review of our software. I've passed your positive feedback onto the team.
@Amazon Guy I believe they limited us to 50,000 skus and we maintain over 190,000 skus so we discontinmued their service and continued our use of Appeagle. We've used Appeagle since 2012 and are pleased with their service.
We don't actually have any limits in place for how many SKUs you can reprice—and never had limits in the past either. We have long-time sellers with more than 2 million SKUs who have been using our software for more than seven years without any issues.
RepricerExpress is a great repricing solution for thousands of Amazon sellers—as is Appeagle. We think it's fantastic that there's choice in the market for sellers, as no one solution will fit everyone's needs.

With the election campaign in full swing, MSPs are no longer MSPs and many candidates will be scaling back the day job to spend more time engaged in the persuasion of voters. If you haven't already been in contact, then now's the time. We have 519 candidates currently listed in our Candidate Tracker and we've been working since September to ensure that it is the most comprehensive listing of candidates and contacts available. Nominations close on Friday 1st April at 4pm and we'll be working over the weekend to include any new information into our sheet by Monday 4th April.
Our Tracker will give you all the candidate names, email addresses and social media details in one handy Excel spreadsheet. Contact details are easy to merge into documents or emails and there's a separate page for each region, showing constituency candidates and regional candidates in a nice colourful arrangement. The cost is £250 + VAT and a further £100 + VAT will ensure you also get the MSP contact sheet following the election. That document will be updated free of charge over the summer until all constituency and parliamentary contacts are in place.

Stars set to tee off under floodlights at Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic
From left: Amy Boulden, Camilla Lennarth, Noemi Jimenez and Silvia Banon pose for a picture at the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai.
Lights, camera… action! The Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic gets under way on Wednesday over the Faldo Course at Emirates Golf Club, which will host the world's first professional day-night golf tournament.
The field of 56 professionals had the chance to practise under the lights on Monday and are ready to make history in the 54-hole tournament.
Each of the professionals will play at least nine holes of one of their opening two rounds under Faldo's powerful new eco-friendly LED floodlights. It will be fascinating innovation within the battle at Emirates Golf Club in what is an exciting new chapter for Dubai golf and the Ladies European Tour (LET).
Cheyenne Woods, who has returned to Dubai to compete for her second LET title, said: "It will be a very new challenge but I'm excited. I think it's a great event for golf. I think these formats keep the fans interested and it's good for us too, just having a different experience playing.
"I feel like I'm playing really well, just putting the pieces together. I feel like mentally, physically, I just feel like I'm in a really good place to play some really great golf so the more I play the closer I think I'll get to where I want to be."
Meghan MacLaren, who is looking for her third LET title, has welcomed the change of tack. She said: "Any time that golf tries to innovate it creates a bit of a buzz, which I think is exactly what the game needs. Hopefully the Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic means a few more people will be paying attention just to see something different happening. The playing level is and always will be there, so it's about forcing people to sit up and take notice.
"The idea of playing under floodlights is pretty cool. I've always enjoyed going to watch evening football matches so hopefully golf will be the same."
For Amy Boulden, who has her heart set on winning a first LET title in the vibrant metropolis, winning against the backdrop of the glittering Dubai Marina would be extra special.
She said: "It's really exciting. I've played night golf before, in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi, but not in a tournament. I think we'll all have fun playing under the lights and I think Dubai is the perfect place to do it. It's going to be a great test and I think everybody will have great fun.
"When I come to Dubai, it feels like home to me. The greens are the best we play on, in Dubai, so it's always nice to come to play on perfectly conditioned greens."
Camilla Lennarth, who will be looking for her second win and her first in five years, added: "I'm excited too. I haven't played that much night golf at all. It will be a first for me, but the lights are really bright, so I think it will be a fair test. I think it's good to try new concepts and see what works and what captures a different crowd."
Fan engagement is exactly what the LET and all about and rising star Noemi Jimenez Martin commented: "I'm really excited and can't wait because it's going to be an interesting tournament. We are going to make history so it's going to be really exciting. I think a lot of people will watch this event because it's new and it's going to create a different buzz. It's definitely helping women's golf because more people will get to see the game in a fun environment."
Another young Spanish talent, Silvia Banon added: "It's the first time playing under lights so it's an honour to be here. It's an incredible environment and we are really happy and excited to play. It's my first time in Dubai and it's really different. I was saying to Noemi, I've only seen these buildings in pictures."
The 2019 Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic will be played from Wednesday to Friday and the move of the LET's revered stop in the emirate from December to May will showcase Dubai's extended golf season.
At the same time, it will profile the stunning venue which will be a fitting destination to showcase the incredible golfers who play on the LET and who have come to Dubai from all around the world.

Livewell Tips and Tricks to Ensure a Healthy Catch
Tips and tricks to help ensure a healthy catch and release.
How-To On the Water Be Inspired
Catch and release is one of the best aspects of bass fishing. The entire culture is built around this principle, with recreational and tournament anglers alike tossing back most of the bass they catch.
For the concept to work, it goes without saying that the fish must live. We owe it to the resource to ensure that the fish we handle, photograph and weigh in fight again to thrill another angler in the days ahead.
The first step in this principle is learning how to care for bass being held in a livewell. It's not as easy as just filling the tank with water and dumping in keepers. Let's dive in, so to speak.
Your livewell fills with lake water – the same water harboring your bass – but from the perspective of the fish, the similarity ends there. The instant fish are held in captivity, both their biological makeup and the water itself change.
When held in a livewell, bass secrete an extraordinary amount of waste product into the water, mainly in the form of ammonia and carbon dioxide. This is due to a combination of respiration (breathing) and stress. As this waste enters the water in the livewell, the water begins to change, slowly becoming toxic to the fish held within.
For that reason, the greatest single step you can take to ensure healthy fish onboard is to circulate your livewell with fresh water. Not "recirculate," as in cycling the same water. In this case, pump new water into the system, allowing excess to drain through the overflow.
Timer systems on livewells are convenient, but in warm water, pumps should run full time once a few fish hit the livewell. It's the only way to effectively flush out the waste product created by the bass.
Running livewell pumps pulls a bit of charge off the battery, so plan accordingly, and be sure to start your Mercury outboard throughout the day to maintain power levels.
Oxygen needs also increase for fish in captivity. A step to help is to install an aquarium-type bubble pump. Familiar to live-bait anglers, bubble pumps can greatly improve livewell conditions for bass.
These drop-in units are easy to install, can be quickly connected to a trolling motor battery with alligator clips and draw next to nothing in terms of power. It's important to note that unless the factory livewell pump has a tube that pulls in fresh air, it adds only a small amount of oxygen to the water when compared to a bubbler, which actually "injects" the air. Other alternatives include installing an oxygen-generating device to supplement the onboard aeration system, and livewell vent lids that help waste gases escape the livewell compartment.
Ice is a big ally in keeping fish alive, especially in summer. Cooling the water greatly increases its ability to hold oxygen. A 10-degree drop in the temperature of your livewell water can increase oxygen-carrying capacity by 50%. However, biologists recommend dropping the livewell temperature no more than 10 degrees so that when fish are returned to the warmer waters of the lake, they do not experience "temperature shock." When adding ice, it's best to close off the livewell system to outside water flow to reduce how fast the ice melts. A small floating thermometer can help with managing temperature.
Follow these guidelines:
Fill the livewell early in the morning when water temperatures are lowest. As soon as you catch your first fish, keep the pumps continuously running (with new water) through your morning of fishing.
Around lunchtime, now with a nice catch aboard, close off the livewell to outside inflow, and simply recirculate the water within. Add a bubble pump (or other oxygen-generating system), if possible, as well as about 5 to 10 pounds of ice. In this example, we're prepping a 25-gallon system. Experiment with your livewell to determine the amount of ice needed to reach the target temperature.
Maintain this cooler, oxygenated water for two hours, max. Then, flush out at least half the water in the livewell with fresh water from the lake, as in the beginning of the day, then close off the system, add additional ice to drop the temperature back down 5 to 7 degrees and repeat.
Here's where it's possible to make a mistake. Many people understand the need to cool and recirculate the livewell, but they forget about the wastewater principle and the need to flush the water out after a few hours.
One final topic is that of chemical additives designed to improve livewell conditions. These have been around for decades.
Chemical additives do help, especially those created with tranquillizing agents to help calm fish. Shy away from any designed to increase activity in fish. That's the opposite of what's desired for fish in the livewell.
A trick used by fisheries agents and biologists is to simply add non-iodized salt, like that intended for water softeners. In fact, most of the material in commercial livewell additives is simple salt, as it buffers pH, neutralizes ammonia and increases oxygen load in water. A general rule is to add a soda can-sized container of salt for a large bass boat livewell.
To ensure the health of our resource, we must do everything we can to keep fish healthy through the entire catch-and-release process, especially if that release is delayed. Get on board today by creating a better environment for the fish on your boat.

Sugar Painting (糖画), as its name suggests, is made from sugar. It is reviewed as both sugar and panting to view or eat. It can be seen whenever on temple fair, market fair or in park. Sugar painting is a kind of folk traditional handicrafts, especially prevailing in northern China. Boil brown sugar, white sugar and little malt sugar in fire until it can draw wire. Then artist scoop up a spoon of melting sugar juice, cast quickly on a slabstone back and forth to create a shape. After the accomplishment, scoop up the sugar painting with a shovel and stick a bamboo slip.
The sculptures of character and animal such as dragon, fish, bird, butterfly, Zhang Fei (a figure from the novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and so on engross children's imagination mostly even though there are other subjects adopted from fiction and operas.
As one symbol of Chinese culture, nowadays, the charming of sugar painting has been gradually getting more and more attention and recognition, so are these artists. Chengdu Sugar Painting has been list into "Second batch of national intangible cultural heritage". Cai Shu, born in a sugar painting aristocratic family in Sichuan province perform sugar painting show in metropolis at home even go abroad such as Japan, Germany, Spanish, Singapore and so on.
He was granted as the "Folk arts and crafts Master" by Chinese Folk Literature and Art Society, the "International Folk Arts and Crafts Artists" by Chinese Folk arts and crafts artists committee and the "A level of folk arts and crafts" by the Unite Nations Educational. Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The history of sugar painting can be traced back Ming Dynasty, originating from Sichuan Province. Sugar tiger, sugar lion or figures of ministers were sacrificed to gods and ancestors in Royal Court in Ming Dynasty. Then the handicraft spread in the folk and evolved into sugar paining gradually.
It became more popular in Ming Dynasty. The technique was more matured with a more diverse range of patterns emerged. Propitious patterns such as dragon, fish, monkey, phoenix etc were loved by public. In Sichuan, sugar painting got more advanced development in production, seeing the replacement of the molds with the now-common small ladle, sometimes bronze or copper.
According to the memory of the old artists Shiyun Bai, Yongcheng Li and Deran Fan, in Tang Dynasty, great poet Ziang Chen born in Chengdu preferred to saccharose with another different way from other people. Firstly, he made the saccharose melt, then molded all kinds of patterns of animals and flowers on a smooth and clean table. After the solidification, he ate them while viewing.
Some day, Ziang Chen was admiring his own workmanship. The little crown prince saw these animals when passing, so he asked for some. When back to the palace, the sugar was eat up, the little crown prince was crying for more, which bothered the emperor. So Ziang Chen was called up into the palace and performed the handicrafts on the spot.
Ziang Cheng shaped the melt saccharose into a copper cash, immediately, the little crown prince got tears away and smiled. The emperor was happy to promote Ziang Chen as You Shiyi (an official name in Tang Dynasty). After Ziang Chen retired, in order to reward the emperor's patronage, he took somebody as his apprentices to pass on the technique. Spreading from hand to hand, the handicraft of sugar painting was passed down in folk.


Diet Change: Eat the right food for your constitution. For example, one with yang constitution needs more intake of yin constitution food to balance your excess yang. Let us say that someone with so much internal heat does not need more heat by eating yang constitution food such as chicken, turkey, and duck.
It is not wise to go to bed when you are too hungry or too full on your stomach.
Do you drink plenty of water right before you fall asleep? Water consumption during the night also influences the quality of your sleep if you happened to visit your bathroom several times at night. Imagine you eat the delicious watermelon during the evening. Watermelon is cool herb especially good during the hot summer. It flushes heat from your heart channel through urination.
Less strong coffee/caffeine intake: Coffee is "cool" in herbal sense. You may be thinking that it boost your energy up in the morning. Cut the caffeine intake much less or diluting will be the option for you. Sodas, green tea, chocolate, and some herbs can cause sleep disturbance.
Place an onion by your side. Aroma from an onion does affect sleep. You might be surprised to find out that after eating certain food group such as red leaf lettuce make you feel drowsy. Play with food group first since it is none-toxic to your system and be consistent in terms of controlling your environment.
If you want the continuous energy flow, try to eat the breakfast with whole grains and less caffeine intake throughout the day. Balancing act is important here also.
Be aware of western medicine or counter top medicine causing sleep disturbance.
Please do some research on your medication. You do read labels of your cereal box. Why not read the side effects of your medication you are currently taking? If you look hard enough, it is researchable on or off line basis.
Can you go without taking a nap? It might affect the quality of your night sleep.
Seniors usually do not have consistent energy flow and easily fatigued in the afternoon. If taking a nap does not affect the quality of sleep at night and helps you to carry on your duties in such constructive way, it is a thing to do. Make a keen observation for yourself first after taking a nap.
Try to take a warm shower or bath right before you go to bed.
Heat does make you relax more and sometimes it does wonders.
Warm foot bath will also help you to relax at night.
Walking: Stimulating your soles does affect your brain somehow and helps to settle your busy mind at night. Yoga and stretching will be beneficial also.
Control your room temperature. Cover yourself with warm blanket during winter.
If you feel too cold or too hot during the night, you are likely stay awake due to discomforts caused by excess heat or cold. You can shop for a good heated bed or heating pad if your limbs are too cold due to yang deficiency. This is a good advice if you happened to be a senior with icy cold hands and feet. Keep that in mind this proverb from Eastern medicine: 두한족열(頭寒足熱) means "Keep your head cold and your feet warm".
Stress Control: Analyzing everything and anything? If so, stop doing it especially at night. If you jump into a cycle of negative thoughts, you acknowledge the pattern first and then stop doing whatever you are doing it to make things worse.
Eliminate your television or computer from your bedroom. We all are habitual beings. Thus, it is necessary for you to designate your bedroom for sound sleep only.
Noisy condition will affect your sleep. Find a way to eliminate or adjust such condition. Ear plugs or white noise machine will be an option for you. Listening to relaxing and calming music will soften such condition.
Lighting: Light affects us a great deal day and night. Find the right light setting for you. This will be difficult for those working at nights instead of days.
Good bedding and pillow: Too soft or hard bedding make you feel uncomfortable.

Nikia Phoenix completely stunned me when I met her—her look is unparalleled, her eyes soft and kind, the splash of freckles across her face alluring. But to fixate only on her external beauty is to do an enormous disservice to the model, blogger, influencer, and content creator, whose sharp mind and warm heart had me lost in thought mid-interview, in awe of her wisdom. Nikia is the founder behind Black Girl Beautiful, a beauty and shopping event catered to women of color. "Products specifically geared toward African American and multicultural women are often relegated to their own section is the beauty aisle. We are left out of the mainstream conversation about beauty… I figured why not start one for the most powerful demographic in the country, black women," she blogged on her own platform, NikiaPhoenix.com. She is a champion and activist for women and people of color, penning personal essays about self-love, cultural appropriation, and so much more. "I don't think that anybody's gotten the full picture of what's going to happen, what my biggest accomplishment will actually be. But, to keep it simple, I think so far my biggest accomplishment is inspiring people," she shared with Jennifer in an entirely feel-good moment. Meet Nikia Phoenix.
My name is Nikia Phoenix, I am 36 years old, and I guess my occupation right now is dreamer, doer, creator.
What about you surprises people the most?
I think people are most surprised about how down to earth I really am. I'm not a diva—I can be, but that takes way too much energy. I think people are surprised that I'm actually as chill as I appear to be online.
Why do you think that is?
I think that, a lot of times when you see people in real life, your expectations are so great and when you meet them, you're like, This is not the person I thought it was going to be. I think that people still have a pretty good feeling about me when they meet me.
What to you is the most challenging or infuriating thing about working in your industry?
The most infuriating thing about working as a model and a content creator is that no matter how many walls we knock down, somebody builds more back up. We still have these ridiculous—how should I put this. It's like we're supposed to be in boxes. We can either be this or be that, but we can't be a hybrid of both. So I get very frustrated that people don't expect for a model to have a brain, they don't expect for a content creator to have business sense. That frustrates the shit out of me.
I have two. It's like a combo. So, dance myself clean. Put on some music, turn off the lights, just blast it and dance really hard, eyes closed, room's dark and cold, until I get sweaty and burn off all the bullshit of the day. My other thing I do is snuggle with my cat and drink a glass of red wine… it's the best.
Other people's energy, actually. I definitely feed off of energy, whether it's positive energy, negative energy. I give out what somebody gives to me. Energy empowers me. Just to see the reaction on someone's face when they're happy about something, even if it's a small victory. Just to see the excitement; that empowers me. It reminds me that I'm still doing this for a reason.
I want people to actually look at themselves in the mirror and actually be happy with the person that they see, be happy with that reflection. I want people to know that they don't have to fit into these boxes that I spoke about earlier, these stereotypes. They can be whoever the freak they want to be. As long as they're actually authentic to themselves and they're not messing with anyone else's energy, then they're good. They're fine. I want people to know that you can be you and that's totally cool.
What is your death row meal?
Oh, snap! My death row meal… We're going to start with shrimp and grits and then, this is going to sound interesting, but move into pizza. But with like, a thick Chicago style pizza. Finish it off with black eyed peas and collared greens.
No sweets?
But wait! This is hard. We're just going to do a standard chocolate ice cream.
That's a pretty solid set.
Yeah! I like it. Lots of carbs, you get some different flavors in there. Why not? [laughs].
It depends on who you ask…
I'm asking you!
Then it depends on the day. One perfect word to describe me… brilliant.
What is the most important lesson you've learned in your lifetime?
The most important lesson I've learned in my lifetime is to just be me. It's that easy, it's that simple. When I tried to go for what everyone else was telling me to do, everyone else's expectations, I fumbled. I was trying to make things work that were not supposed to work for me anyway. When I just said, "Fuck it" and started being me, man, the world opened up.
What is the accomplishment you're most proud of?
Man, I think that it's still on its way. I can see that I'm on my journey, I'm on this crazy trip, and I see bits and pieces of what is happening. But I don't think that anybody's gotten the full picture of what's going to happen, what my biggest accomplishment will actually be. But, to keep it simple, I think so far my biggest accomplishment is inspiring people.

Geologic Investigations Series Map I-2731-B
Shaded Relief and Sea Floor Topography of Quadrangle 1 in Western Massachusetts Bay Offshore of Boston, Massachusetts
By Bradford Butman, Laura Hayes, William W. Danforth, and Page C. Valentine
This 27 x 35 inch map shows the sea floor in shaded relief view at a scale of 1:25,000, with sea floor depth as topographic contours overprinted in blue. It is based on multibeam echo-sounder data collected during four cruises conducted between the fall of 1994 and the fall of 1998. The map is part of a 3-quadrangle map series showing the area offshore of Boston, Mass., that is companion to the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary map series (Valentine and others, 2001, 2003a-c; also see location map). Other maps of Quadrangle 1 depict topographic contours (Butman and others, 2003a), and backscatter intensity over shaded relief and topographic contours (Butman and others, 2003b).
The multibeam echo-sounder surveys were conducted aboard the vessel Frederick G. Creed, a SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) ship that surveys at speeds up to 15 knots. A Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder (95 kHz), mounted on the starboard pontoon of the Creed, was used to acquire these data. The bathymetric soundings were gridded at 6 m/pixel resolution and smoothed using a 9-cell by 9-cell median filter; contours having a 5-meter interval were generated from the resulting grid. The shaded relief image was created by vertically exaggerating the topography four times and then artificially illuminating the relief by a light source positioned 45 degrees above the horizon from an azimuth of 350 degrees. In the resulting image, topographic features are enhanced by strong illumination on the northward-facing slopes and by shadows cast on south-facing slopes. The image accentuates small features that could not be effectively shown by contours alone at this scale. Blank areas in the image represent places where no data exists; data coverage begins 6 to 7 km offshore. The shoreline was extracted from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline (data downloaded from http://seaserver.nos.noaa.gov/projects/shoreline/shoreline.html, Segment EC80_05, digitized from Chart 13267 (National Ocean Service, 1997)). Topographic lows are identified by hachured contours (hachures face deeper water).
Some features in the image are artifacts of data collection and environmental conditions. They include small highs and lows and unnatural-looking features, and patterns oriented parallel or perpendicular to survey tracklines (tracklines run northwest-southeast). For example, the wrinkle-like features in the northeastern part of the quadrangle, which are about 100 to 150 m long and are oriented northeastsouthwest and perpendicular to the ship's track, are a result of heave of the vessel during data collection caused by large surface waves. The northwest-southeasttrending raised linear features, for example noticeable near 42°19' N., 70°43' W., are a result of a Simrad hardware calibration problem with the acoustic beams aimed directly below the ship. Other northwest-southeast-trending features, especially noticeable along the shallow southwestern part of the mapped area of the quadrangle (for example, see the linear feature extending between 42°16.37' N., 70°40.79' W. and 42°15.63' N., 70°39.80' W.), are a result of marginal data overlap where survey lines were spaced too far apart.

Whole Foods Market predicts 10 biggest food trends for 2019
Expect more sweet and savory desserts, such as this mascarpone and berry gelato from Washington, D.C.-based Dolcezza Gelato. Dolcezza Gelato/Facebook
It's the most wonderful time of the year — trend season. Thanksgiving marks the official beginning of all things top 10, such as restaurants, beauty trends, viral videos, and great moments in politics. It's such fun.
Whole Foods Market leads the charge with its fourth annual roundup of the must-have items and can't-miss fads for 2019. These were compiled by the company's buyers and foodie experts. Though varied, they reflect an overall cultural shift towards physical and spiritual wellness and environmentally conscious lifestyle choices.
Here are the 10 trends the Texas-based grocer says consumers can expect to see on shelves — and their plates — throughout the new year.
Pacific rim flavors
After the year of the poke restaurant explosion, this trend is heading out of the bowl and onto grocery shelves. These flavors represent regions such as Asia, Oceania, and the western coasts of North and South America, and can be brought home with ingredients like longganisa (a Filipino pork sausage), dried shrimp, cuttlefish, shrimp paste, guava, and passionfruit. The grocer also name drops jackfruit, a tree fruit increasingly used as a meat substitute. (And spoiler alert, meat substitutes are also one of the top 10 trends this year.)
Shelf-stable probiotics
From autism to allergies, it seems the answer to every health question this year involved taking a fistful of probiotics. Innovations in shelf-stable strains of the bacteria are leading to an increasing number of long-lasting probiotic products, resulting in a smaller need for refrigerated options. Whole Foods also anticipates the probiotic trend will increasingly show up in beauty products and even cleaning supplies.
Phat fats
Disclaimer: Whole Foods named this section, not the writer. Fats are back this year, thanks in part to the rise of grain-free, keto, paleo, and "pegan" (paleo and vegan) diets. Consumers can expect to see an increasing number of fatty options, especially in the snack aisle. "Keto-friendly nutrition bars crafted with MCT oil powder, coconut butter–filled chocolates, snacks affectionately called fat bombs, and a new wave of ready-to-drink vegan coffee beverages inspired by butter coffees are busting on the scene allowing consumers to get their fat fill with convenient treats," says the grocer in a release. Well, that is big news.
Next-level hemp
If the buzz around CBD is any indication, it's unsurprising that hemp is on the list. CBD is still prohibited in food and dietary supplements under federal law, but that doesn't mean consumers can't go green in a different way. Analysts say shoppers will see an increase in hemp plant stem cells, as well as the hemp hearts, seeds, and oils that have been around for years. "It's clear that hemp-derived products are going mainstream, if not by wide distribution, then by word of mouth," writes Whole Foods.
Faux meat snacks
Meatless is mainstream and bringing a bevy of faux meat snacks onto the market. As Americans increasingly taper off meat for health, spiritual, or environmental reasons, companies are trying to find a way to appeal to the carnivore palate with veggie and vegan products. In 2019, Whole Foods forecasts more innovations in mushroom-based foods inspired by meaty favorites such as vegan jerky and pigless pork rinds.
Eco-conscious packaging
Whole Foods says shoppers will see a rapid shift in how companies package their goods in coming years. Meanwhile, Whole Foods' stores are abandoning plastic food wraps in favor of beeswax, waxed canvas, or silicone alternatives, and setting up regional test pilots for products like sipper lids made from PET. It's like the plastic straw ban, but on a whole new level.
Trailblazing frozen treats
People want to have their treats and eat them, too, and it appears a host of new companies are ensuring they can do that. Look for dairy-alternatives in the frozen aisle, and desserts concocted from things like avocado, hummus, tahini, and coconut water. Traditional treats are getting an unexpected twist with ingredients like savory swirls of artisanal cheese, while global favorites like Taiwanese snow ice, Mexican nieves de garrafa, and "chewy" Turkish ice cream hit the mainstream American market. As for those high-protein, low-calorie ice creams like Halo Top? Whole Foods says those aren't going anywhere.
Marine munchies beyond seaweed
Prepare for more ocean-inspired snacks to wash over the grocery store aisle in 2019. Sea greens will continue to drift into dishes, while puffed snacks made from water lily seeds, plant-based tuna alternatives with algae ingredients, crispy snackable salmon skins with omega-3s, and kelp jerkies indicate a shifting tide in the snack aisle.
Snack time, upgraded
Yet another snack trend. (Seriously, shouldn't this be the 10 biggest snack trends?) As smaller meals continue to rise in popularity, either because of diet or because it's just easier to justify eating seven times a day if it's called a "snack," these bites are destined for a serious upgrade in 2019. Portable snacks packs, upgraded retro treats, and fancy packaged micro-meals are all on the menu for 2019.
Purchases that empower
Customers increasingly want to know that they're not just buying something, they're doing good. Next year, expect to see a more curious consumer, one that questions the ethos of the company it is buying from. It's not just some feel-good trend either; Americans who thoughtfully spend are radically transforming the industry. "Consumer purchasing power continues to motivate changes in the food, beverage, and body care industries, as shoppers demand more from the brands and businesses they choose to support," says the release. Just how this may affect Amazon, the e-commerce giant owner of Whole Foods, remains to be seen.

Fashion Friday Featuring Apostolic Clothing Pt 2.
Hello my beauties! So I missed posting last week because I caught a rather gnarly cold ugh, but I'm back to the land of living and hopefully you find that the wait for the new post was worth it because I certainly do. If you missed Pt 1 you can read that here and learn a little more about the lovely company Apostolic Clothing.
Skirt: Apostolic Clothing well hello new favorite fall skirt! I have owned tulle skirts before and I usually find them to be a hit or miss item, either they look too ballerina-ish for everyday wear, or they can look a tad…witchy for lack of a better adjective. However this beautiful tulle skirt from AC is perfectly wearable, distinctively feminine, and delightfully flattering with its wide elastic waistband that cinches in at the smallest portion of my waist and length wise hits me mid shin so my legs don't look to short. I am so excited to get lots of wear out of this skirt, I have a feeling a future blog post with different styling methods is probably going to make an appearance. Would you guys like that? Basically I am just looking for more excuses to wear this little number.
I hope you all enjoyed this post and that you check out Apostolic Clothing. Happy Friday!

Monroe needs poll workers to host budget referendums, elections
MONROE, CT — Taxpayers will cast their votes for the town budget this May, but volunteers will be needed at the polls to make sure their voices are heard. Monroe has been fortunate to have excellent poll workers, who the town could depend on to ensure safe, accurate, secure and accessible elections, according to registrars Peggy Villani, R, and Kate Briggs, D. But they said the numbers recently decreased due to attrition, COVID-19, people moving and retirements.

Continuing with our podcast process, let's see a bit behind the process previous to writing the radioplays.
So, we decided to start a podcast.
What do we need? Radioplays!
How do we make them? Researching the text!
Act I, Scene 3- Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she is going to marry Paris.
Act III, Scene 2- Juliet is told about Tybalt's death and Romeo's exile. The Nurse promises to find Romeo.
Act III, Scene 5- Romeo and Juliet together. Consummation is implied but obvious. Conflict with her parents. She asks them to delay her wedding to Paris but they pay no attention and get angry. They go, the Nurse tries to convince her and Juliet acts as if she had done it.
Act IV, Scene 1- Meets Paris, who thinks she grieves over Tybalt. Meets with Friar Lawrence, he gives her the vial and the instructions.
Act IV, Scene 2- Meets with her father, tells him she has agreed to the marriage. Capulet gets super happy and decides to make it happen sooner. Juliet goes to her chambers.
Act IV, Scene 3- Juliet sends her mother away and drinks the vial.
There is also the scene where she wakes up after Romeo's death, but some of the things that I had already clear is that I had to end it with her drinking the vial, because it is the perfect note of both despair, but also hope.
Besides, we all know how things end for her (Yeah not well).
Also, even if originally I had five episodes planned, of ten minutes each, next week, we'll see if I keep to my original idea.

Instagram to TikTok to Twitter to Facebook: How social media evolved this decade
At the time of Instagram's launch, Facebook was a major player in social media, but nowhere near as dominant as it is today.
Thursday, December 19th 2019, 9:21 AM EST by CNN Newswire
Shortly after midnight Pacific time on October 6, 2010, a new app built by a small team went live on Apple's App Store. Right away, they noticed people abroad signing up for the app, called Instagram; by 6 a.m. the startup was so overwhelmed with traffic that its servers reportedly melted down.
Instagram racked up over 100,000 users in less than a week, making it one of the fastest growing apps ever at the time. By December, it had hit 1 million sign-ups. Instagram cofounder Kevin Systrom predicted at the time that "communicating via images" would "take off" in the years to come.
By the end of the decade, Instagram had more than 1 billion users and was part of one of the most valuable tech companies in the world. But it's also working to beat back a newer rival -- TikTok -- which is growing fast and looks as novel as Instagram did in the early 2010s.
Instagram's evolution throughout the decade mirrors the evolution of the broader social media landscape over that time. It started out as a runaway success in the App Store at a time when small startups still appeared to have a fighting chance to compete with more established companies. In 2012, it got acquired by Facebook for a then-astounding $1 billion in a sign of the consolidation to come across the tech industry. In recent years, Instagram has been copying features from rival networks such as Snapchat and TikTok to adapt to shifting user habits. Like its parent company, Instagram has also had to confront the dark sides of its platform, from misinformation to online bullying.
"When Instagram started, it was primarily about following people without their approval, it was about sharing permanent photos with a wide group of people, and it was about sharing relatively frequently," said Josh Miller, a former product lead at Facebook.
Now, Instagram -- like so much of the social media industry -- is focusing on ephemeral posts, experimenting with 15-second music videos and offering options to share privately rather than just publicly.
A time before Facebook was the only game in town
Other tech giants, including Google and Apple, were also trying to make their own social networks. Snapchat launched in 2011, and Twitter went public in 2013. It felt like a lot of social networks could coexist. But with just 24 hours in a day, users only had so much attention to go around and Facebook proved to be very masterful at garnering it.
Google has since shut down Google+, and Apple's music-focused social network Ping never took off. Twitter's audience stalled around 300 million monthly users, a far cry from Facebook's 2.45 billion monthly users. Snapchat -- which arguably set the tone for the decade by pioneering disappearing content -- has proved to be more niche than mainstream.
"When Snapchat launched, it presented a totally different way of communicating," said eMarketer principal analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "What ended up happening, is Snapchat has to a great extent changed the way young people communicate, but it hasn't taken off with the older groups the way Facebook ended up taking off."
By the end of the decade, the industry has consolidated quite a bit. Following its acquisition of Instagram, Facebook bought messaging platform WhatsApp for $22 billion in 2014. Facebook also reportedly tried to buy Snapchat for $3 billion in 2013, but founder and CEO Evan Spiegel declined.
In the second half of the decade, a number of social media applications did launch, but unlike Instagram and Snapchat, they never were seen as true competitors to Facebook. Their names -- Ello, Peach, Meerkat, Mastodon, Vero -- are little more than footnotes now.
For a time, it looked like Instagram would still maintain its independent spirit even after it was acquired. "Facebook let Instagram be this little island that was pumping out standalone apps and doing things a bit differently than Facebook," said John Barnett, who joined Instagram in 2014 as a product manager when it employed fewer than 75 people.
But that wouldn't last. In 2018, Instagram cofounders Systrom and Mike Krieger left the company reportedly because of tensions with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over the direction of Instagram. Facebook recently added the words "from Facebook" to the Instagram app and now refers to Instagram's public relations staff as "Facebook Company" spokespeople.
With Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and its eponymous app, Facebook boasts four platforms that each have more than 1 billion users. It is so dominant that a growing chorus of politicians are now calling for Facebook to be broken up. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has suggested Facebook should spin off Instagram in particular. Facebook's reputation also took a major hit after revelations that Cambridge Analytica obtained the personal data of as many as 87 million Facebook users, sparking a major privacy awakening across tech.
The rise of TikTok
As the decade came to an end, social media companies found themselves on the defensive. Once seen as useful and playful ways to keep in touch with friends and family, social networks faced a wave of criticisms for spreading misinformation, enabling election meddling and failing to protect user privacy -- not to mention concerns about screen-time addiction and online bullying. As a result, Instagram and Facebook are rethinking "likes" and their impact on mental health, Twitter is working on improving well-being, and YouTube has started abbreviating subscriber counts on the platform to help address concerns from its star creators about stress.
The belief that connecting people and building platforms to share information are fundamentally good was challenged again and again.
It was against this backdrop that TikTok began to take off. Launched in 2016, TikTok is all about viral content and racking up lots of views and likes. It's reminiscent of Vine -- a popular six-second video service acquired by Twitter that was shut down in 2017.
Users share videos of themselves doing things like cooking, dancing and lip-syncing. They often feature music in the background. Like Instagram, users can follow other people and "heart" or comment on videos. But the similarities stop there.
Natalie Bazarova, an associate professor at Cornell University who studies social media, said TikTok is "totally different" from Facebook and Instagram. "There is nothing there about building social connections," she said. "It's about using algorithms to find content that will hold your attention. It's an entertainment-based platform."
That differentiation has made it a hit: TikTok has been installed nearly 1.6 billion times globally to date, according to data from Sensor Tower.
(Ironically enough, it's partly because of Instagram that TikTok gained traction. The startup flooded its competitors with ads.)
Facebook -- and Instagram -- have taken notice of TikTok's success and have released their own copycats of the app. In 2018, Facebook launched an app called Lasso, which lets users create and share short videos with music and camera effects. Earlier this year, Instagram launched a new tool called "Reels" in Brazil, for sharing 15-second videos with music.
How social media will evolve in the decade to come
For ABI Research analyst Eleftheria Kouri, advancements in technology this decade drove the biggest changes in social media, from better smartphone cameras and augmented reality to faster connectivity that allows people to upload Stories or TikTok videos in seconds.
Looking ahead, she believes 5G technology has the power to advance social media even further, and make way for more interactive content and immersive games.
Miller, the former Facebook product lead, believes the next decade will get people closer to feeling like they're in the same room as people far away.
"Many of our social media experiences are an imperfect replacement for being with someone in person," he said. "It's hard to predict what hardware advances will bring, but I'm hopeful that one day I'll sit down in my apartment in Brooklyn, and I'll look across my dining room table, and I'll be able to have dinner with my mom in Los Angeles, sitting across from me."
