Our pals over at GoPetFriendly.com have been running the Pet Blogger Challenge for eight years now. 2019 marks our third year of participation. The goal of the post is to reflect back on 2018 and identify goals for the new year.
As you know, 2018 was an incredibly difficult year for us, with the loss of Sora and Dave's father. We moved to Granada, Spain, which has been great, though it has certainly taken us awhile to feel settled here. It seems like 2018 was a troubling year for many and we're grateful for the fresh start with 2019. We know there are no guarantees simply because one number in the calendar changed, but we look ahead with anticipation for what will come our way.
We have been blogging since October 2014 and our blog is about adventure travel with dogs. This includes anything from tips for traveling with dogs, including by air, bicycle, and boat (coming soon!); outdoor adventures to do with your dog, such as trail running, winter activities, and camping; and we also provide honest reviews of our favorite gear, like dog bike trailers, leashes, and travel beds.
This is a hard one to think about. It might be that we hit 21k pageviews in October. Or perhaps that we think we finally got a hang of this SEO thing. We also did a site overhaul and rebranded our logo.
Our biggest challenge, as has always been the case for us, has been posting with regularity. Our goal is to reach 25K viewers by the first quarter of 2019 and we realized we would never get there by continuing to do what we have been doing, which was posting erratically.
We've created a calendar with twice weekly posts related to several topics, including travel, gear review, storytelling and more. As someone who has never really used calendars, I was skeptical that this would keep me on a schedule, but it been working fabulously. I know what I need to post and when. At the end of each month, we sit down together and come up with topic ideas for the month ahead.
My favorite blog post from 2018 was 99 Awesome Things to do with Your Dog in Portland, OR. Coming up with a list of 99 things to do anywhere is hard, especially when they're very specific items. Creating this list opened my eyes to a ton of places I never knew allowed or expected would allow dogs. It makes me want to go back home this summer to go try some new dog-friendly spots!
This award goes to Sora. I wrote her obituary after she died and it was by far and away our most popular post. Ever. And for good reason. Sora was an amazing dog who influenced so many others to get out there and go on adventures with their dogs. Sora showed others that dogs make great travel companions and the logistics don't have to be that difficult.
Putting her life story in one location proved that she lived an incredible life: She traveled to 29 countries, graced the cover of Adventure Cyclist Magazine in April 2018, and served as the face of adoption for an animal rights group in Medellin, Colombia. I hope that her legacy lives on and she continues to inspire others to bring their dogs along.
I've thought about implementing a new series for the blog, but just haven't gotten around to it. I have done interviews with people who have adopted street dogs in the past called Street Tails. I loved sharing these stories with my audience. I stopped them essentially because once we got off the road and left our nomadic life, I came across fewer folks who had these stories. I do have some ideas brewing though!
In the beginning of my blogging days, I was all about the Facebook sharing groups, but they just took up far too much time. Now, I focus on creating beautiful pins for Pinterest and keeping my Tailwind schedule full. I've also been continuing to share on Facebook and Instagram, including sharing my pinned images in my Stories and creating a saved story to keep all the links available at all times.
Our sights are set in meeting Mediavine requirements this year.
As I discussed earlier, we'll be aiming to publish blog posts twice weekly. Additionally, I'll be sending out a monthly newsletter and I've been working on backlinks to our site through collaboration posts.
Now it's your turn! How can we help? Is there an area where you could use some advice, or an aspect of your blog that you'd like input on?
We've always struggled with our very niche niche (yes, I meant to write that twice! We're that niche!): Travel with dogs. We mostly travel internationally, and we realize that most of our readers do not bring their dogs along when they travel internationally. Since we're from the PNW, I have several blog posts about that region, which is great, but that's really the only US location I can create enough of my own content for based on my knowledge and experience.
One thing we've been thinking, and which has been suggested to us by travel blogging friends, is that rather than write a post like "A Dog-Friendly Travel Guide to Girona, Spain, for in this post (a post, quite frankly, I find boring because it's no different from all the other posts out there about the same city), instead, focus our posts on travel destinations and include the dog-friendly bits, just not as part of the SEO, like I did for this post about our visit to Corsica. What are your thoughts?
If our goal is to reach Mediavine by the end of the first quarter, we realize that any new adjustments will only start to bring traffic by the time we wish to meet our goal. I'm curious how others promote their blog posts. Where are you actively finding readers for your blogs?
Thanks so much for joining the Challenge, Jen, and good luck with your goal of meeting MediaVine's requirements. It's great when your blog can start paying you back!
We find most of our readers via search, so I think you're on the right track improving your SEO. It seems more people are looking for authentic travel experiences, so that should also help your traffic. It doesn't get more authentic than you guys!
Thank YOU for organizing this challenge, Amy! Hopefully the SEO starts to respond. We've noticed significant growth in just a month, so it seems like we're on track to get there eventually.
Hi Jen! Thanks so much for the shoutout. We would love to have you join us at Mediavine. Our threshold is 25k sessions within a 30 day period, and we're here if you have any questions at publishers@mediavine.com.
I'll send over an email to publishers at mediavine and we can discuss it further.
What a fabulous round up – and you have great content! Your post about Sora was so very heartfelt. Congrats on getting a handle on the SEO thing – that is super hard! One tip to help get the word out: Press releases and media emails. This will work with your topic I believe – and you have great content for the media to use and have people come your way! Good luck in 2019!
Love that you are trying to refocus a bit on your "niche" – shows you really understand the market and the potential for you to grow. Having a niche blog is so important — and if you can broaden it a bit but still stay within your passion no doubt 2019 will be an amazing year!
We'll see how it goes with our current plan! Hopefully we see the results we've been working toward for so long.
You're so close to Mediavine! I struggle with finding the right topics too. It's a mix of what brings people to the site and then stuff I'm passionate about – is my current style which is not right either … I'm still trying to figure it all out.
I think that you have something great with the Instagram stuff. That is information that people are always exploring and want to learn how to do. You have a lot of great opportunities to create content you can sell. I struggle with that. What can I sell that appeals to my audience? I've never been able to figure that out.
I love your site! You always have fun and creative ways of sharing dog travel information. I suffer from many of the same issues (I'm not sure people want to know what to do with a dog in Brazil, or Mexico, are they going there too?) and I'm still figuring out the best way to share that information. Congrats on almost making it to 25k, you are almost there!!
Thank you so much for the kind words about our site. As we both know, there are definitely people out there traveling with their dogs abroad, the question is, how many of us are actually doing that. How do we make it all inclusive or at least get "dreamers" interested in fantasizing about such a trip with their dog?
Your blog is so inspiring! I'm sure with your new calendar and focus, you'll be able to join Mediavine in no time.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We'll see, I guess, about the calendar!
I'm pleased to hear that setting up a calendar is helping you. With my travel schedule, I've been struggling to post regularly. But I may have to force myself to start a content calendar.
I liked your Corsica post. I think it's the kind of post that will attract a wider audience for sure.
Travel is the reason I haven't been able to stick to it as much as I'd like. I just haven't been able to prepare ahead of time to schedule posts while we away.
SEO is something we all need to get better at isn't it? It will work for you I know it, the blog looks great. I know dog lovers adore a good story, especially with pictures!
I'm seeing small boosts already, so hopefully we'll see them really hit in a few months!

The Confucius Cultural Week at UNESCO is a unique opportunity in France to understand Confucian culture.
One of the greatest figures in Chinese history, Confucius (551-479 BC), was a philosopher and thinker, political leader and educator. The Confucian School he created influenced Chinese and even East Asian civilization for 2000 years. Belief in the ability of the ordinary man to change his own destiny characterizes this heritage that is deeply rooted in the spirit of the Chinese people, forging its national character. His Analects and theories, made popular by his disciples, form a doctrine of moral improvement. Even today, Confucian philosophy penetrates all aspects of daily life in China.
From 6 to 10 September, an exhibition on the life and work of Confucius will be held. This multidisciplinary exhibition, initiated by the Shandong Museum, is divided into four parts: the life of Confucius, Confucius' influence, Confucian thought throughout the ages, and Shandong, native land of Confucius.
Chinese Vice Minister of Culture Zhao Shaohua addresses the opening of the five-day-long "Confucius Cultural Week" at the headquarters of the UNESCO in Paris, capital of France, Sept. 6, 2010.
On September 7, a music and dance show, inspired by Confucius and his era will be performed by the Orchestra and the dance troupe of from Shandong, Confucius(i) native land.
Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese thought and life.
His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. These values gained prominence in China over other doctrines, such as Legalism (法家) or Taoism (道家) during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). Confucius(i) thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism (儒家). It was introduced to Europe by the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci, who was the first to Latinise the name as "Confucius."
His teachings may be found in the Analects of Confucius (論語), a collection of "brief aphoristic fragments", which was compiled many years after his death. For nearly 2,000 years he was thought to be the editor or author of all the Five Classics (五經) such as the Classic of Rites (禮記) (editor), and the Spring and Autumn Annals (春秋) (author).
Kong Qiu (孔丘), as Confucius is commonly known, is a combination of his surname (孔) and his given name (丘), and he was also known as Zhong Ni (仲尼), which is his courtesy name. He was born in 551 BCE in the Lu state (This state was in the south of modern-day Shandong <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Province) in the later days of the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucius was from a warrior family. His father Shulianghe (叔梁紇) was a famous warrior who had military exploits in two battles and owned a fiefdom. Confucius lost his father when he was three years old, and then his mother Yan Zhengzai (顏徵在) took him and left the fiefdom because as a concubine (妾), she wanted to avoid mistreatment from Shulianghe(i)s formal wife. Thus, Confucius lived in poverty with his mother since childhood. With the support and encouragement of his mother, Confucius was very diligent in his studies. When Confucius was seventeen years old, his mother died as a result of illness and overwork. Three years later, Confucius married a young woman who was from the Qiguan family (亓官氏) of the Song state (宋). Though he had a mild tempered wife who loved him, he left his family to strive for his ideals. Confucius sought to revive the perfect virtue of Huaxia (Chinese civilization) and the classical properties of the Western Zhou Dynasty to build a great, harmonious and humanistic society.

Bill Maher turns on the left in "defund the police" diatribe
Bill Maher is a liberal comedian who is usually viciously anti-Trump, but he has an occasional penchant for telling the truth, something that gets him in hot water with the radical left from time to time.
In a monologue for his show Friday night, Maher did it again, savaging the leftist slogan "defund the police." According to Maher, the slogan is "f—ing stupid."
Maher said:
"They're calling it, 'Defund the Police,' which sounds bad!" he stated. "That is so Democrats for you. They must have meetings to be this f—ing stupid about politics. 'Hey, guys, we're making some headway here. Um, how can we turn this into something that makes people have to vote for Trump?'"
Maher is in line with the over two-thirds of Americans that oppose defunding the police, but that won't stop the Marxists from calling for his head.
We've written in this space before about how "defund the police" is just what it sounds like, despite the efforts of mainstream Democrats to water it down.
As we noted then:
The New York Times just ran a piece from Mariame Keba, a self-described "organizer against criminalization," called "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police (Because reform won't happen)."
Ms. Keba argues against reforming the police, saying: "Enough. We can't reform the police. The only way to diminish police violence is to reduce contact between the public and the police."
Maher and the more sane old-line liberals believe that they can control the anarchists and radicals in their party, using their energy to drive turnout and then neutering their platform.
They're playing with fire. Trying to control those who want to burn America down is a dangerous game.

Lella Lombardi, italijanska dirkačica Formule 1, * 26. marec 1941, Frugarolo, Alessandria, Italija, † 3. marec 1992, Milano, Italija.

Maria Grazia Lombardi, bolj znana kot Lella Lombardi, je pokojna italijanska dirkačica Formule 1. Debitirala je v sezoni 1974, toda na edino dirko na kateri je dobila priložnost, Veliko nagrada Veliko Britanije, se ni uspela kvalificirati. Na Veliki nagradi Španije v naslednji sezoni 1975 je osvojila šesto mesto, kar je edina uvrstitev v točke ženske na prvenstvenih dirkah v zgodovini Formule 1. Ker je bila dirka predčasno prekinjena je sicer dobila pol točke. V isti sezoni je bila tudi na Veliki nagradi Nemčije blizu uvrstitvi v točke, saj je dirko končala na sedmem mestu. Po štirih dirkah v sezoni 1976 se je upokojila. Leta 1992 je umrla za rakom.

Coastguard rescuers were scrambled to reports of a canoeist in trouble off a Torbay beach on Monday evening.
Witnesses reported the person in the canoe was attempting to rescue two dogs at Fairy Cover in Paignton.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency deployed a team from Torbay Coastguard.
It was quickly established the canoeist was not in any trouble.
A spokesman for Torbay Coastguard said: "Team members first on scene quickly established the dogs were not in any difficulty so the rest of the team were stood down.

Tell me about the 'dismal science'?
Now, if all is well, you will happen to recall that it was first Carlyle who coined the phrase the 'dismal science' in reference to the discipline of Economics. And with that as a starting point, you go on to dissect the phrase: examining why Economics may be deemed 'dismal', and exploring the sense in which Economics is an inexact science.
Make sure that you really work on your Personal Statement, in terms of getting across your interest in the subject and conveying a sense of competence. More importantly, sending off the Personal Statement is not the end of the matter! Oxbridge interviews will very often hone in on certain elements of your personal statement. So if you mention a certain book you've read (e.g. Stiglitz's 'Globalisation and its Discontents'), or a specific theoretical point (e.g. the 'multiplier effect'), be prepared to talk about them.
Try to develop a good grasp of a broad range of basic theoretical topics in Economics (if possible), and be comfortable with Mathematics (some Cambridge colleges place more onus on A-level Maths than Economics). And try to delve a little deeper into technicalities if possible, and be exact with definitions. For example, 'the dead- weight loss of a tax is the amount in excess of the tax revenue that the tax-payer would pay for the removal of the tax'.
Follow current affairs, so that if a question comes up relating the current economic climate, you would be prepared to present a good answer.
Above all, Oxbridge interviewers are trying to see how you approach and think through questions. So it is important that you present your ideas and thought processes in a clear manner. Even if you get a question wrong, a good direction-of-approach and logical steps to solving the problem may be more favourably received than a correct answer without demonstration of genuine understanding.
Stay confident, keep your composure, and may luck be on your side!

SECURE Act 2.0: next steps for retirement legislation
next issue no. 7: Fiduciary perspective
The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (hereafter referred to as SECURE Act 1.0) was signed into law almost two years ago. It was a significant milestone in cementing the legislative structure around retirement savings and included a number of key provisions that would make it easier for people to achieve lifetime income.
However, as with any piece of legislation, there were provisions that did not make the final cut, and areas where the new legislation opened up areas of inconsistencies that the retirement industry wanted closed. As such, even before SECURE Act 1.0 was signed into law, follow-up legislation was already being contemplated and drafted to continue building that framework and address remaining holes.
System update in progress
In May 2021 the House Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved H.R. 2954, the Securing a Strong Retirement Act, which has been dubbed SECURE Act 2.0. There is also a legislative proposal in the Senate called the Retirement Security & Savings Act, which is seen as the partner to the House bill.
For those who are not familiar with the Washington D.C. legislative process, it should be known that it is not uncommon for law to be generated in such a way. Varying members of the House or Senate take on the responsibility for drafting new legislation and walking it through various relevant committees, before passing the bills on the floors of the respective chamber. The draft legislation then goes into a process whereby the two varying drafts become one final proposed piece of law, before being voted on one final time and going off to the White House for the President's signature (or veto).
Around 30 provisions overlap between the two drafts, but many more do not. Thankfully, retirement is one area where the usual partisan political process falls somewhat by the wayside and despite the lack of overlap, almost all of the provisions between the two bills have bipartisan support and are considered noncontroversial. For example, SECURE Act 1.0 passed in the House by a vote of 417-3 in May 2019. The House bill was passed by the Ways and Means Committee unanimously, underlining that point, and the Senate bill would be expected to receive similar support.
Yet strong bipartisan support does not translate to swift action. Due to the packed congressional calendar, there are other legislative priorities vying for time on the Congressional floors. This year the President wishes to drive infrastructure spending through Congress, there is an impending scuffle over the debt ceiling, and other priorities always emerge at the last minute. While they were more optimistic earlier in the year, our TIAA Government Relations team now thinks the path to enactment of SECURE Act 2.0 in 2021 is a narrow one. While 2022 is a midterm year, which throws an additional wrench in the works, the bipartisan support for retirement reform should make this less of a hurdle than it could otherwise be in a time of heightened bipartisan obstinacy.
Version 2.0 Fixes
CITs in 403(b) plans
Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) have been available in 401(k) plans for a fairly long amount of time, and much ink has been spilled over the benefits of CITs in those plans. While CITs currently make up over a quarter of the assets in 401(k)s and are set to continue growing, CITs currently remain unavailable in 403(b) plans. The reason is quite simply a regulatory anomaly that goes back a long way. There is no underlying policy rationale for the difference in treatment. It has however taken a long time to get this anomaly fixed. The governing rules are part investment regulation, part ERISA and while initial legislative fixes were first introduced in 2018, little progress has been made since. A provision to fix this differentiated treatment is now in both drafts moving through Congress.
MEPs and PEPs
MEPs (multiple employer plans): Old-style MEPs, which existed before SECURE Act 1.0 was passed and can remain in place, allow related businesses, such as those in the same industry or region, to band together under one plan.
PEPs (pooled employer plans): allow unrelated employers that don't share a common industry or location to participate in a single, shared 401(k) plan.
Increasing access to retirement plans for employees remains critical. SECURE Act 1.0 made some significant improvements to the legislative structure around Multiple Employer Plans (MEPs). Prior to SECURE Act 1.0 MEPs were limited as to the types of employers that could join a MEP, the with the most restrictive limitations being the commonality clause and the 'one bad apple' rule. The initial Act removed these restrictions to make it easier for employers to sponsor a retirement plan for their employees.
An extension of the MEP rules, Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs) are a slightly broader category of MEP that allow more unrelated employers to group together to form a plan, as long as it is sponsored by a Pooled Plan Provider. However, 403(b) plans were left out of the original SECURE Act 1.0, and as such are still constricted by the old rules. SECURE Act 2.0 would clarify that 403(b) plans may be maintained as a PEP under the same rules that apply to 401(k) plans even if participating employers share a common interest other than having adopted the 403(b) plan.
Student loans payment provision
Record-level student loan debt can be a major obstacle to saving for retirement. Under current law, a payment made on student loan debt cannot be matched by an employer in terms of retirement savings contributions. The proposed legislation would treat student loan payments as elective deferrals to the participant's retirement plan. As such, an employer could make matching contributions to the retirement plan as though the student loan repayment had instead gone into a retirement plan. This provision in SECURE Act 2.0 will help younger people build their initial retirement plans at a time when they are otherwise making the most significant contributions to paying down student loans. We all know the benefits of saving early and the compound interest calculations that follow, and allowing employers to make matching contributions at a time when the participant may not have the excess liquidity to do so can provide an early start on building that retirement nest egg. This combined with the provision for employers to auto-enroll new employees in retirement plans could have a significant impact on those all-important early years of savings.
Increase in the RMD age
Increased longevity has major implications for retirement plan design. SECURE Act 1.0 established that Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) must begin by the age of 72. Prior to the original Act passing, the RMD age was 70 ½ years old. The current drafts for SECURE Act 2.0 continue the trend of raising the RMD age, but they take slightly different approaches. The House bill raises the RMD age by single-year increments at various stages over the 10 years following the bill becoming law, up to 75 years of age beginning in 2032. The Senate bill, however, simply looks to year 11 after the statute is passed, and raises the RMD age to 75 in a single leap. However, the impact should be relatively minimal on retirees, as some 80% elect to take more than their RMD amounts. But for the 20% remaining, the additional time allows for additional planning and asset growth.
Higher catchup limits
Under current legislation, workers that are at least 50 years old can make a number of catch-up contributions to retirement accounts. For 2021 those limits are $6,500 above the $19,500 limit that can otherwise be contributed to a 401(k) or a 403(b) plan. Under the House's proposal workers between the ages of 62 and 64 would be able to contribute an additional $3,500 to their plan, making the catch-up contribution limit $10,000 above the $19,500 for each of those three years. The draft Senate text would simply lift the additional catch-up contributed limit to the $10,000 limit (again above the $19,500 limit) at age 60.
Of note though, in the House bill, all catch-up contributions (participants age 50 and above) must be made on a Roth basis, i.e., after tax. Another Roth provision in SECURE Act 2.0 says that a plan may permit an employee to designate matching contributions as Roth as well. However, as this is on a Roth basis, this is considered a proposal that would actually raise revenue. It would also mean that a plan sponsor offering a retirement plan would have to be able to take Roth contributions. The current version of the Senate bill does not legislate that the catch-ups must be made on a Roth basis.
How this impacts plan fiduciaries
It is critical to have an understanding of these provisions and their potential impacts on your plan today, even prior to legislation passing. Retirement benefits are increasingly viewed as a component of an organization's benefits package or an employee financial wellness strategy. As employers commence their annual plan reviews, they can work with service providers to understand how they can help implement best practices related to student loan repayments, participant communications and engagement plans, financial wellness tool upgrades and investment vehicle availability. There may even be time to help design offerings that would help meet the specific needs of a plan in order to keep retirement and wellness benefits competitive and best in class, while helping to ensure a smooth transition and compliance once legislation is passed.

Ali and Devine delighted to lead the way for Phoenix in 2021
Moeen Ali says being handed the Phoenix captaincy will rank as one of the proudest moments in his career.
Sophie Devine is confident about Birmingham Phoenix's chances.
Ben Tyler 22nd Oct, 2020
CAPTAINS Mooen Ali and Sophie Devine have been retained by Birmingham Phoenix for the inaugural edition of The Hundred in 2021.
The pair were originally slated for the captaincy roles for this summer's tournament – which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic – but have now committed themselves to the Second City side going into next summer.
And for 33-year-old Ali, the honour of skippering his hometown side is something that he will hold in high regard.
"Birmingham is my city and captaining my home team in The Hundred is right up there in terms of my career," he said.
"I was born, raised and my life is still based in Birmingham, so to be the first-ever men's captain of Birmingham Phoenix is very special for me. Sports fans across the country and in Birmingham especially will be eager to watch some live cricket.
"Leading Birmingham Phoenix out on to the field at Edgbaston, with the whole community behind me will be an amazing feeling."
Though the launch of the competition was hit by the major setback of a global pandemic, the England international admits that the preparations for next year are already beginning to take shape.
"I had a chat with Andrew McDonald [head coach] a couple of days ago about what we're trying to do moving forward and how we start to put some plans in place," Ali added.
"There's a lot of work to do before the season starts and we keep in touch regularly. When I see him at grounds when we're playing in the IPL, we try to have a quick chat about things and we're both really excited for The Hundred next year."
Women's captain Sophie Devine is equally confident about Phoenix's chances, with both the men's and women's tournaments running in tandem.
Sophie Devine is confident about Birmingham Phoenix's chances.
New Zealander Devine says the new competition can be a breakthrough moment for the women's game, and cannot wait to get going in front of the New Road crowd in Worcester.
"It's a huge honour to captain Birmingham Phoenix and I'm really excited to be leading this side," said the 31-year-old.
"We are putting together an exciting line-up and the international players we are looking to bring in are of the highest quality. I'm really looking forward to playing alongside them.
"With the opportunities that are here at the moment I sometimes have to pinch myself that I do this for a job. Exposing more players to the highest quality cricket is only going to benefit the women's game globally and The Hundred is going to be a huge moment in women's sport."
Devine is no stranger to leading the line on the field, having been named as the New Zealand skipper back in July, also captaining NZ's team at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia back in February.
"Everyone is different, but for me being a captain is about leading with actions and leading from the front," she commented on the extra responsibility.
"If I can inspire my teammates to play a certain way or follow my lead, that will be more powerful than words spoken from the sidelines.
"I'll try to lead from the front with bat and ball and encourage others to play to their potential and believe in themselves because I'll be backing them 100%.
"It's only a hundred balls so you've got nothing to lose. That's what makes it such an exciting competition."

Alfred Preis (* 2. Februar 1911 in Wien; † 29. März 1994 in Honolulu) war ein österreichisch-amerikanischer Architekt. Er entwickelte sich in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren zu einem der führenden Architekten Hawaiis und realisierte über 180 Projekte, darunter das Kriegsmahnmal USS Arizona Memorial von Pearl Harbor sowie das Eingangsgebäude des Honolulu Zoos.

Leben
Preis wurde am 2. Februar 1911 als Sohn von Ignaz Preis und Hermine Preis, geb. Heim in einer jüdischen Arbeiterfamilie geboren. Er studierte an der Technischen Universität Wien, wo er 1938 den Abschluss als Diplom-Ingenieur im Fachbereich Architektur erlangte. Er wanderte 1939 in die Vereinigten Staaten aus und ließ sich in Honolulu im US-Territorium Hawaii nieder. Er fand im Architekturbüro Dahl und Conrad eine Anstellung bis zum Angriff auf Pearl Harbor 1941, als er im Internierungslager auf Sand Island vier Monate als Staatsangehöriger eines feindlichen Landes inhaftiert wurde. Nach seiner Freilassung entwarf er zunächst Wohnungen für Kriegsarbeiter. 1943 eröffnete er sein eigenes Architekturbüro, das er bis 1963 leitete. Unter Gouverneur John Anthony Burns wurde er State Planning Coordinator und entwarf die Parkanlagen um das Hawaii State Capitol. Von 1966 bis 1980 war er Direktor der Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts und setzte sich für die Einführung eines Kunst-am-Bau-Programms ein, das vorschreibt, bei staatlichen Bauaufträgen ein Prozent des Budgets für Kunst in öffentlichen Gebäuden zu verwenden. 1967 verabschiedete Hawaii dieses Gesetz als erster Bundesstaat der USA. Er erfand das erfolgreiche Artists in the Schools Programm, das landesweit eingeführt wurde.

As I was growing up, I dreamed of accomplishing two things with my life: write a book and change the world. You might think that the book was the easy part, but who can change the world?
While I was publishing my memoir of my mission trip to Kenya, "A Time for Every Purpose Under Heaven", that I realized my dream of changing the world is not so foolish. Like every item on anyone's bucket list, this too could someday be crossed off my list. I have come to realize that to change the world means to change one person's world.
My daughter and I returned to Kenya in the spring of 2013 and while there met many more men, women and children who need positive change in their lives. My daughter began working on a nonprofit organization to help these people, to empower them and improve their way of life. Tumaini Volunteers, Inc., was born and remains a work in progress.
In addition to my writing and involvement with Tumaini Volunteers, I work fulltime in the medical field, mentor a Kinship kid, mentor my church's college students, and sponsor a Compassion child.
I am not anyone special, but I now know that change is possible. The world can be a better place. We just need to get out there and do the work that God has given us to do.
I know it's late and I'm so sorry about that – life happened and so this got put on the back burner along with some other things. If you're looking for a short but meaningful devotional for the Christmas season then The Christmas Story in 40 Days is definitely one that I would recommend. It is suggested that in order to finish by Christmas Eve to begin this devotional on November 15th, and if you buy it now you'll have plenty of time when November rolls around again. I also want to note that the Bible passage given at the beginning of each day's reading is from The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language. I don't like to use The Message but it isn't hard and doesn't add any time to grab my own Bible and read the passage listed.
Each devotion takes five minutes or less unless you want to go deeper or you use the notes section to make your own notations – it can be used as you see fit for your or your families needs. There is no denominational bend so just about anyone who is Christian can use this devotional through the Christmas season, of course we should always remember Christ's birth and His death and resurrection every day so maybe this shouldn't be just a 'Christmas' devotional. I like that while the readings are short, they are also deep and meaningful and really help one focus on Christ's coming and what all that entailed both then and now.

John Wallace recognizes that the devout Latter-day Saint is unlikely to ever read his new book Starting at the Finish Line: The Gospel of Grace for Mormons (Pomona House Publishing LLC June 2014). In fact, they are prohibited from doing so! But even if they did, the book's central message of salvation by faith alone in the completed work of Christ would likely seem overly simplistic and terribly inadequate to them. This is unfortunate and is the cause of much frustration for both the Christian who just cannot seem to "get through" to his or her LDS loved one and to the Mormon who feels insulted that someone should feel the need to "save" them.
Realistically, Starting at the Finish Line is for three groups of people: 1) The "cultural Mormon" who values the benefits of belonging to the LDS church, but secretly doesn't fully believe in the Joseph Smith/Moroni/gold plates narrative (or in any of a number of difficult doctrines). 2) Those that have already left the Mormon faith, but aren't sure where to turn. These people often feel lost and untethered in this world, often concluding that if Mormonism isn't true, then nothing is. 3) The Christian who desperately wants to better understand the Mormon mindset, if for no other reason but to know how to dialogue with them.
Starting at the Finish Line seeks to reveal three primary truths to its reader. 1) The Bible is the Word of God. It is trustworthy in its translation and transmission over the many centuries and is authoritative in terms of leading people into a saving relationship with Christ. 2) Christ purchased mankind's salvation with his precious blood on the cross of Calvary. This is the work of salvation and no other work remains than for people to receive the free gift by faith. 3) Any attempt to contribute or "add to" Christ's work on the cross is an offense to God and demonstrates a lack of faith in the sufficiency of Christ's redeeming blood. As Paul so bluntly wrote to the Galatians, attempts to gain salvation through works sever people from God's grace and place them in the unenviable position of obeying the law perfectly in order to enter God's kingdom.
By sharing his own personal journey, Wallace ultimately demonstrates the incomparable joy of emerging from a religion of works into a relationship with Christ that is based on acceptance and freedom. He further explores the mystery of what it means to be "born again," inviting the Latter-day Saint to faith in Christ alone, explaining that good works are but natural by-products of the indwelling Holy Spirit – the same Spirit who gives the believer assurance that their salvation is indeed secure in Christ. Good news indeed and cause for great celebration!
You can learn more about the book at Starting at the Finish Line.
Having family and friends that are Mormon has me wanting to understand how they believe, what their faith entails and how it is so different from my Christian walk that I knew I wanted to read John B. Wallace's book about the Gospel of Grace for Mormons in Starting at the Finish Line. I've known for awhile that Mormons don't believe in Jesus Christ as other Christians do, that He is the Savior came to save us all by His work on the Cross and His Resurrection. I also know how easy it is to get things muddled and forget what He did and think we need to add to it or somehow feel that we aren't good enough and so we must work and work at earning our Salvation. However, if you pick up this book, this isn't so much about their doctrine and their adding to the Holy Bible through the Book of Mormon but more on how a devout Mormon can find freedom in accepting Christ's sacrifice, not partially, but fully embracing the work He did for us.
I would desire that all my Mormon friends and family read this book, but as it says in the description even the author recognizes that they more than likely won't and so it's up to as Christians to read it so we can learn how best to minister to those who are open to the truth by using what they've been taught and showing them through the Bible how it is really is. While Mormons believe they are Christians, John shows the reader why that isn't true and even that Mormons teach they are the only true church – so why would they want to be a Christian? This wasn't a quick read and it took me about a week or so to read the whole book as some of it was heavy and needed quite a bit of brain power to digest, and even then some of it I still could go back and re-read again to really get it. Overall, this is a great book for those questioning their Mormon faith or for those who want to minister to a Mormon in their life and show them the Gospel of Grace.
If you were to ask God how to best be of service in a troubled world and the answer you received was to "Sell all you have and give it to the poor", could you – would you – do it? Could you really sell everything you own, leave your home and well-established life behind, and travel halfway around the world to live in a country best known for its civil wars and extreme poverty? Most of us, in all probability, could or would not. But that wasn't the case for Dennis and Lillian Klepp, a Wisconsin couple who asked the question, received the answer and then stepped out in faith to do exactly what they felt God was asking them to do.
Their massive step of faith began in 1999, after Lillian heard a speaker talk about the plight of orphans and widows in Sudan. A short two years later, the couple said goodbye to friends and family and headed to the war-torn African nation to devote their lives to serving God. They have been there ever since, establishing orphanages, schools and health care centers and bringing hope to those who need it most. In her new book, Adventures Under the Mango Tree: A Story of Hope in War Torn Sudan, (Creative Enterprises Studio, June 2014) Lillian, or, as she is more affectionately known, Mama Lilly, chronicles the couple's amazing story of faith, sacrifice and obedience as they endeavor to follow Christ.
That complete trust has been repeatedly tested in the years since their move to Sudan. From Lillian's initial fear of sleeping in a rat-infested room her first night in her new Sudanese home; to frantic moments spent trying to keep the orphans in their care quiet during the wee hours of the night as war raged around them; and fear that the flight needed to take Dennis back to America after suffering a heart attack might come too late, Lillian has placed her trust in her Heavenly Father repeatedly and, each time, that trust has seen them through. Together she and Dennis have worked tirelessly, building their non-profit Christ-based organization, Harvesters Reaching the Nations, from its humble beginnings to a burgeoning outreach serving more than 190 orphans in two locations in what is now South Sudan and providing a Christian education to over 500 students including more than 400 children from surrounding villages.
Lillian's forthright, honest and often humorous accounting of their experience gives readers a firsthand look at what it takes to leave a life of relative ease behind and travel to the ends of the earth to spread the gospel. While it is a must read for every person contemplating work in the mission field, Adventures Under the Mango Tree offers all readers an insightful glimpse into a world few can even fathom. More importantly, through Lillian's humbling and unique story, we are shown the extraordinary power of a loving God who enables his faithful servants to shine a light in one of the darkest corners of the world.

Sometimes there are books that change the way you think and feel and that is what I'd say about Adventures Under the Mango Tree – I've stated here before that I enjoy reading books that are written about and by missionaries, especially those that deal with children and Lillian Ann Klepp pulled me in right away to her story. She starts by giving some background information on her and her husband's family and their early years of marriage, the first chapter spans the years of 1954 to 1980 – and gave me a glimpse of what they were like before they were Christians. This is the story of missionaries but also a testimony of how God does and will work in those lives that turn themselves over to Him and His Lordship, that is what makes this so powerful, I believe. When you've grown up in a Christian in name only or even in a non-Christian home, your past likely contains skeletons that you want to hide and will think that makes you unwanted by God, but He chases you and He will forgive and He will do a good work through even the most depraved of sinners if given the chance. I know I was there too.
As Lillian dedicates time to fasting and prayer, the Lord begins to call her to mission work and she eventually tells her husband, Dennis, they need to go to the Sudan – he of course is slightly shocked and needed time to also let the Lord speak to him. He eventually agrees and the Klepps set out to go to the Sudan – even against the words of friends who insist they should go with an established ministry but the Lord is telling Lillian and Dennis to start their own. As they arrive they have nothing but as the Lord moves they eventually are able to set up a school, an orphanage, medical facilities in not one location but two! It's awesome how when the Lord calls and the person(s) He calls answers what can happen, even when it feels like things are falling apart – the Sudan isn't very welcoming to outsiders. In fact in order to adopt from the Sudan one must establish residency for three years prior to the adoption taking place!
I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy reading missionary stories or testimonies – as the back of the book says "What can one ordinary person do? Read this astonishing memoir and you'll see. Then perhaps you, too, can step out in faith for the sake of the gospel." So if you aren't sure if you can step out in faith and let the Lord lead you, this book will have your heart and mind wondering you can do – I know I lack in praying and I've never fasted but I wonder what blessings and callings I've missed out on by not being strong in these areas. While many doubt that the Lord still moves through His Spirit either in miracles through protection or through the physical healing of ailments, this book can put these doubts to rest if you read it with an open mind and let the Spirit lead you.
Did God instruct the human race to be His caretakers over nature? If so, is environmental exploitation disobedience to God? Is it true, as many critics claim, that Christianity is the root cause of today's environmental problems–or are all religions and cultures responsible? How should the church respond?
Writing with easy-to-understand, nontechnical language, the author provides a powerful rebuttal to critics who claim Christianity is anti-environmental. He urges Christians–especially high school and college students–to embrace the tremendous evangelistic opportunities that exist in the environment debate.
In a time when Christians are becoming increasingly aware of the seriousness of today's environmental and ecological problems and want the church to become more informed and engaged in confronting these issues, this book is the perfect introduction to this timely topic.
I'm very much in agreement with the author that as Christians, we do need to take care of God's creation as He did put us in charge – but I too see how the 'left' has turned environmentalism as a cross to die on, figuratively speaking. I don't like being told by those that I should only use one square of toilet paper or that by having more than 1.2 children I'm somehow polluting and killing our world. The author states that with technology most people today, especially children, don't get into nature enough or learn to appreciate it. I don't see technology as being the 'bad guy' but it's ultimately the person's fault to not want to be involved in anything past their gadget or game.
Should Christians care for the earth? Yes. Do we have to label ourselves as environmentalists? No. I love to take hikes and get my children out with me, especially in the fall which is my favorite season, and we leave our Kindles and iPods (except for when I need pictures for our portfolios) at home. I do little things such as composting food scraps, hanging laundry out, and other small things but I don't see myself as an environmentalist – to me it's about saving money cutting back on our use of electricity so that our bill isn't so high, but some I guess could see it as an environmental thing too.
I was really hoping for some new revelation in reading this book but it just didn't come to me. At some points I saw what seemed like anger in some of the commentary about how the church isn't doing enough and while I don't think that was the author's intent, that was how I perceived it. There was also some rather dry points that I found it hard to get through – tell me why I should be an environmentalist, I don't need to know the liberal side as I hear it every time I turn on the T.V. For me it was a lot of back and forth as to why Christians should be environmentalists even though most of the groups that support these endeavors go against everything a Christian should stand for. Parts of the book were really interesting and held my attention but others I could have just skipped over.
Son of the Underground is a beautiful story of struggle, hope, and the ability of faith to overcome obstacles. Not only is it the story of the coming to faith of a Chinese boy, one whose life was already made more difficult by the role that faith had played in his early life, but it exposes the struggles of an entire nation of believers who have made the dangerous commitment to a life of Christ.
This book needs to be read by every Christian who doesn't understand fully what persecution is or what it looks like. We need to be able to know what our Chinese Brothers and Sisters are going through as they literally live and die for Christ – which is something we don't know in our freedom in the United States. When you begin the book you are introduced to life from Isaac's little boy eyes, where his father is absent through no fault of his own and where his mom has to work in the fields all day. He learns early on that his faith is the only thing that he has that will not change from day to day.
I devoured this book in a day – I could feel the passion and the hurt as his family ran for their lives and the worry of who may be spying on them to the Chinese government. There are some things that we only hear of but reading about it from a first hand account, such as what happens to women who refuse to abort their babies, will have you reaching for the box of tissues. There is sadness in the pages but there is also hope, hope for things not seen and hope for better things to happen – and believing in God is what that hope is pinned on and that resonates within these pages as well.
If you desire to learn more about what is going on to the Chinese Christians this book is a great place to start, one cannot deny a first hand account of the atrocities that the Chinese go through. You'll be inspired in how you can pray to help them be strengthened by the Holy Spirit among other ways to help by visiting the website listed at the back of the book. At first I was going to let my 10 year old read this but after finishing it I know she isn't ready for the whole story of persecution but this would make a good study for the older child.

Kina Pickett: A Work From Anywhere Airstreamer
Tech entrepreneur Kina Pickett is no stranger to working from the road. Now, he and his family are embracing the Live Anywhere philosophy: Living, working, and playing anywhere their Airstream takes them.
As the summer of 2020 chugged toward a new normal, Airstreamers everywhere realized their Airstream had a hitherto unknown superpower: It could function not just as a mobile home on wheels, but also a mobile office. And even a mobile school. Across the country, Airstreamers hit the road, leaving their brick and mortar lives behind, if only momentarily. They took calls on hikes, did video conferences at their dinettes, and watched their kids do their own learn from anywhere routine at the picnic table outside.
Kina Pickett was one of the early adopters. In the spring of 2020, he and his family hit the road in their 1970 Airstream International. The Picketts – Kina, Nellie, six-year old son Ashur (Ash), and four-year-old daughter Story – packed their travel trailer with a whole world of adventure, learning, and business pursuits and make their way out of their home state of Montana into some of the most beautiful parts of the United States. While it may seem audacious, more and more Airstreamers are beginning to hit the road to play, work, and learn as they live anywhere – and find that it's easier to do than one might think. Plus, there's the added benefit of taking charge and heading out into the endless possibilities of adventure.
"It's gratifying, for sure," said Kina. "You get to choose where you want to go, what you want to see, when you want to stop to eat. The freedom is exhilarating, and it's easy to forget how powerful that feeling is when you spend a lot of time in an office, or behind a desk."
It's not surprising that Kina Pickett landed on the cusp of the live from anywhere trend. Since a young age, he's charged headfirst into whatever he's pursuing. A world-class pro downhill skier from Vermont, Kina spent 13 years traveling all over the world, making movies, and working with top-tier ski brands.
But the skiing life had a shelf life.
"Instead of riding until the end I injected at my height," he said. Kina had spent years on video and photo shoots, and his friends encouraged him to get into production. He worked with legendary ski filmmaker Warren Miller, and then created Helio, a production company that produced content for some of the biggest brands in outdoor fashion.
As more brands embraced content, Kina saw the world of social media and influencer marketing gaining traction and phones becoming an important marketing tool. Along with a business partner, Kina created ZPPR – a digital platform for sharing photos, video, and other content between creators, photographers, editors, and the media, agencies, and clients they work with.
Building software that allows people to collaborate remotely, Kina was primed for the current state of things. Avid campers, the Picketts found themselves off the grid as the pandemic became a reality. They were glad for the solitude.
"When it hit we were deep in the canyonlands, living off grid, and we had enough food," he remembered of those early days of the pandemic. "Eventually, we decided to rally straight home. We didn't have to touch bathrooms anymore, and when it was time for dinner we pulled into a truckstop and made dinner."
But Kina's solitude-seeking mentality wasn't born during the pandemic.
"I like to be able to look out the window and see some beautiful landscape, and think wow this is so cool," he said. "I'd rather not be camping next to 16 other people."
In order to accomplish that, Kina has outfitted his Airstream with a variety of features that make longer boondocking in remote areas possible – and more enjoyable. Five solar panels – four on the roof and one tethered on the ground – a 10-pack of LiPo batteries and an inverter, and a Nature's Head composting toilet make boondocking a breeze.
They hit the deep woods of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest before heading east toward South Dakota. Kina stays in contact with work clients through hotspots, satellite connectivity, and apps that help identify coverage, while his kids embrace the road school life.
"We were in the canyonlands hunting for dinosaur tracks, looking for wall paintings – the kids were floored," said Kina of their first taste of immersive schooling. "They couldn't understand why we were doing this all the time. For the time being, we're in no hurry to put them back in school. We can teach them from the camper – and take advantage of it while we have these opportunities."

Hi...this is just a note for those thinking of or newbies.
Remember these forums typically do not hear from the hundreds of people living day to day with full functional continent ostomies (BCIR and KPs).
When asking for information, please keep in mind many of us have had several complicated redoes and that doesn't mean that it will happen to you.
It's best to collect all the information but keep in mind that there is so much good news out there too, all with minimal related issues.
Good post Janice. I remember when I was new reading all the problems people were having and wondering if I should get a kock pouch or not.
Even though I just lost my kock pouch which was made from a 15 year old j pouch I still would have had the kock pouch surgery.
36 years with no problems or further surgeries. I now am dealing with a stricture in the valve that was dilated and waiting to see if this corrected the problem of not being able to insert the catheter. Even with this problem, my valve is still continent....no gas or output escapes. I would do it all over again in a minute. This is a great procedure. I feel the ones who don't have any trouble don't come to the site. I started coming here do to harassment because I have an ostomy....I wasn't having problems with my Kock Pouch. So the harassment brought me here. I am so happy I found this site it is wonderful and a support system with people who live it. Thank you Bill for creating it. I have mentioned this site to Dr. Doizois, Professor of Surgery at the Mayo Clinic.
35 years with no problems - then various problems intubatin for the past 3 years. Ended up in hopital with an infection a inflammed valve. The GI team inserted a tube which I kept in for 6 weeks; I changed weekly by inserting an endo wire in through the old tube, pulling it out over the wire (used in endoscopy), then using the wire to guide in the new tube. Now inflammation is gone and sll is back to normal.
I had a conventional ileostomy for 2 years and still skiied, swam and hiked. My skin is ultra-sensitive and breaks down easily so the Kock pouch was a godsent! In spite of this recent problem, I've had a better quality of life with the pouch!!
Thank you, I'm currently deciding whether a KP is better for me than an ileostomy and it's looking like the way to go!

Q: Recommended way to find typos in JavaScript I have developed a JavaScript file which I use in the context of a WordPress plugin. The jQuery contains a typo:
alert('prv_requestSelectionComplement check odds_pos for horse_id='+tmpSel.horse_id+' oddsPositionLimit='.JSON.stringify(oddsPositionLimit)+' odds_pos='+complement.odds_pos);

You see: Before JSON I used the PHP '.' instead of the JavaScript '+'.
I did not get any error nor warning. The function just stopped working. It took me a while to spot the problem with careful code review. Is there a possibility to get a reasonable error message without double checking all the places where I edited? For example using Firebug?
What is the recommended way to deal with this problem?

A: Try/Catch will help you:
try {
    alert(this is an error);
}
catch (e){
    console.log('There is a error: ' + e);
    alert('There is a error: ' + e);
}

A: In this specific case you should get the following error within the Firebug or DevTools console:

" oddsPositionLimit=".JSON is undefined

This message already indicates that the error is located between your string and your JSON.stringify() call.
Note that 'string'.something is valid JavaScript syntax, because strings are objects in JavaScript and have some properties and values. So the error message does not refer to the dot between your string and JSON but says that the property JSON is not defined for the string " oddsPositionLimit=".

Value-added options are removing fear, adding excitement and allowing consumers to be more confident when preparing seafood
Anna Sharratt | October 05, 2018
Shutterstock/As Food Studio
Forget plain old frozen fish sticks. At Mississauga, Ont.-based Tree of Life, it's all about basa, a type of catfish.
Tree of Life (which acquired Green Ocean Seafood Products last year in order to expand its seafood capabilities) is introducing tikka masala marinated basa portions, as well as Indian curry-flavoured and sriracha-flavoured basa nuggets. These new introductions cater to consumers looking for a more adventurous fish fix that's also convenient and easy to cook.
The company says it's responding to a desire for value-added seafood products—something gleaned from a study it commissioned last year. "One of the key learnings was that consumers across the country talked about the convenience of buying frozen seafood and the ability to buy a variety of species in the frozen seafood section," says Glenn Grandy, senior director, seafood, at Tree of Life.
Packaged seafood options are certainly more numerous—and creative—than the bland, breaded fish options that used to dominate the market. They now include such items as fish sausages, salmon jerky, gluten-free seafood pizzas, salmon bacon and snow crab coquille. And they're resonating with consumers who want to eat less red meat, and want a product that will taste good and be easy to handle.
Indeed, a 2017 Nielsen study revealed that 20% of Canadian consumers said they intended to add more fish and seafood to their diets. Nielsen's recent data shows that fresh seafood sales in Canada were $657 million in the latest 52 weeks ending July 21, 2018, while frozen seafood sales were $53 million—and both rose by 1% from the previous year.
Carson Bonina, store manager at Stong's Market in North Vancouver, says many shoppers have entered a better comfort zone with seafood, thanks, in part, to the growth in value-added options. "In the past, cooking seafood was intimidating for most consumers, with only the most well-versed cooks choosing to purchase seafood at the meat counter," says Bonina. "With the growing popularity of value-added products, it has allowed seafood to become accessible to all types of consumers."
Sal Battaglia, vice-president of sales and marketing at Vaughan, Ont.-based Seacore Seafood, agrees. "By eliminating the consumer's fear of handling fish and seafood or the fear of not being able to cook the seafood properly, we can meet the consumer's demands."
MARKET NEEDS SOME MOMENTUM
While new offerings are emerging, sales of these value-added products could be higher, says Jo-Ann McArthur, president of Toronto-based Nourish Food Marketing. "While the fresh seafood market is growing, the value-added market at retail has stalled," she explains. "It was increasing in-line with population, but in the past year it declined by 1%."
To push sales of value-added seafood products, she says grocers need to ensure their offerings are as healthy as possible, offering fewer breaded and battered fish products. "Grocers and processors need to make it fast and simple to prepare while maintaining its health properties."
And while grocery HMR (home meal replacement) sections have done a better job offering other proteins, says McArthur, seafood seems underrepresented. "Where are those easy options in-store?" she says. "Prepared foods? Platters? Deli? Ready-to-assemble poke bowls?"
Nielsen research backs up this idea, with a recent report on seafood out of the United States noting that meal kits could be the next big platform for seafood innovation. As in-store meal kit sales rise, "retailers could very easily bring seafood into this rapidly growing grocery option, especially since 29% of meal kit users say they eat more seafood with meal kits," according to the report.
Battaglia admits the value-added seafood market is still developing. "This market is one that has taken quite a bit of time to develop in the seafood industry, but it is one that seems to be picking up steam recently," he says. Battaglia believes the key to growing it is ensuring the products taste good and are easy to prepare. "As long as we can still keep the price point friendly, this market will continue to grow in the future."

Stir My Teenage Soul: Karl 'Regis' O'Connor's Favourite LPs
Luke Turner , July 1st, 2020 08:47
Karl O'Connor guides Luke Turner through the 13 teenage hits that made him Regis, with tales of smelling like a badger on the mail train to Brum and what happens when you get a member of Einstürzende Neubauten the wrong gravel on the way
Fad Gadget - Incontinent
From this point on it's chronological. There was a great magazine called Flexipop which was the ugly sister of Smash Hits. The great thing about it was that even as a young kid I could tell the people from the magazine were pushing it a little bit - there was a lot of weird people in it. They had a Depeche Mode flexidisc on the cover and the second track was Fad Gadget. It made me buy Incontinent from Rockers Records in Birmingham because it had the great Anton Corbijn cover of Frank Tovey dressed as Punch. I didn't know what to make of it, I'd assumed it'd be a pop record and it wasn't, but it was still really exciting. I couldn't put my finger on why I liked lots of these elements, the instrumental tracks like 'Diminished Responsibility' and the title track, as well as 'Swallow It', 'King Of The Flies' and all these proto-electro tracks. He was always a bit ahead for people to get it, or a bit too sophisticated for the pop audience to understand, maybe it was a bit too pop for the alternative crowd, so he occupied this strange place between things, and I think unfortunately you can slip between the cracks. All his albums as Fad Gadget are so complete in his vision, it was this difficult balance because he was putting so many ideas in, I think this is the one where the true nature of the experimentation came through. Frank Tovey was such an amazing person, he was so good with fans and I was lucky enough to have met him a few times. The person offstage was completely different from this really frightening performer - he studied under Lindsay Kemp and could performance art Bowie out of the fucking arena, you could see his music inhabit him and it was frightening. When I saw him support Depeche Mode it was so mind-blowingly confrontational, he pulled out his pubes, sprinkled them on the people at the front, and sent 22,000 Depeche Mode fans into a blind rage and it was the best thing I'd ever seen in my life.
