The Di Eithe
By Rachana Kolli
Long ago, even before ___ston was ___s town, there was a village. While most everybody lived in the village, one young woman lived by herself out by the water. She made her living spinning textiles for the village folk. Every week, the farmer's wife brought her new wool to spin, weave, and dye. Every week, she brought back new gossip to the village. "She butchers her own meat," the farmer's wife whispered conspiratorily to the butcher. "I saw the chicken corpses myself."
Occasionally, someone would say what they were all wondering. "Witchcraft requires sacrifices, does it not? You don't think she…" There would be a flurry of words, a comparing of evidence, but it always subsided to a sea of uncertain smiles and gentle head shaking. Despite their suspicions, her work was too exquisite to drive her away. Surely, someone who could make such beautiful things could not be capable of such evil.
That year was a special year. The mayor's wife was expecting. Babies were always a source of excitement in the village, but this was the mayor's baby. When the mayor's wife went into labor on the harvest moon, the entire village was there to help. When the baby was stillborn, the entire village was there to mourn.
The young woman returned to her home by the water to find a basket in front of her door that night. In the basket was the most beautiful baby she'd ever seen. Dark curly hair set off alabaster skin, interrupted by piercing blue eyes and heart-shaped pink lips. A crow watched over the infant as the young woman approached and picked the baby up. "Is she mine?" The crow dipped its head and flew off, his job complete. The young woman had been waiting for a child for so long. She hadn't dared hope when she learned the news of the stillborn, but secretly in her heart of hearts, she had wished she would come home to a basket as was the way of the witch.
Witch children could only pass through the veil when there was a rift, as with a stillbirth or when a twin consumed his sibling. It was why she had had to settle here rather than with her own kind – they were simply too scarce to form a village. Every time their numbers seemed close to being able to establish a village, some catastrophe would occur that would decimate the number of witches. Sometimes, it seemed like they were cursed.
The morning chased the night away and the farmer's wife knocked on the door for the weekly delivery of wool. The knocking woke the infant who started squalling. The young witch rushed to soothe her. "Hush, young one." More knocking shook the door which drove the infant to even greater volume. Gathering the babe in her arms, the young witch went to answer the door before more knocking could incense the child further. "Ah, yes, thank you. This batch may be longer. Good day." Before the farmer's wife could voice her astonishment, the door swung shut. She hurried back to town.
"She has a baby!"
"A baby?"
"Yes, a baby, not more than a day old."
"She wasn't with child, though, was she?"
"Not that I saw."
"Who has a baby?"
"The young woman by the water!"
"You mean the witch?"
"Oh come now-"
"Witches can steal the souls of newborns for themselves, you know."
"Oh, tush."
"Do you think she stole the mayor's baby?"
"Nonsense!"
"Oh please, there's something strange about that girl and you know it."
"A baby? All by herself? With all that machinery and poison?"
"It's not safe."
"It's the mayor's baby."
"We must tell the mayor."
"For the sake of the child."
"Yes, for the sake of the child."
For the sake of the child, the village folk went to inform the mayor of the young woman's new charge. Initially, he dismissed their concerns, insisting he needed to be with his wife during this trying time. The village folk insisted. When the mayor's wife found out, she could not stand the thought of a child in danger. She implored her husband to at least assess the safety of the household. Children were too precious to risk.
The mayor acquiesced and led the village to the young woman's house by the water. His knocking once again woke the babe whose cries pricked the ears of the village folk. The woman opened the door, the babe on her shoulder. The mayor was startled by the sight. To be told there was a baby was one thing, but to see it was something altogether different.
"Whose babe is this?" asked the mayor.
"She is mine." The young woman lifted her chin.
"But you were not with child and you are not in wedlock. Where did this babe come from? Who were her parents?" The mayor was perplexed.
The young woman did not falter.
"She is mine."
The mayor grew angry, fueled by the loss of his own baby. "From whom did you steal this child?" He took a step forward, as if to press the truth out of the air around the young woman.
The young woman stood resolutely rooted on her doorstep. She could not explain further or she would be exposed as a witch. Instead, she uttered the only truth she could.
The mayor turned to face the village folk. "Having recently lost my own babe, I am sensitive to the need for immense care required in the case of our children. Almost always, parents know what is best for their children." The young woman relaxed. The mayor paused to lock gazes with the butcher and blacksmith. He shifted his eyes ever so slightly towards the young woman. They began to move through the crowd. "However, I am unconvinced this young woman is the mother of this babe." The butcher and blacksmith had reached the young woman and grasped her by each elbow, restraining her before she could try to escape with her child. "She cannot confirm the parentage of the child. Even if she somehow had legitimate claim to the child, she has no support and works a dangerous trade. I fear what could happen with all the poisonous dyes and heavy machinery of the textile trade with too little supervision." The young woman was struggling as hard as she could without risking dropping her daughter now. "Therefore, for the welfare of the child, I feel we must take custody."
The mayor nodded to his wife. She wrested the child from the young woman's grasp. Staring down at the angelic face, she felt a kinship with the babe, as if she had been hers all along. The young woman wailed as the mayor's wife walked away surrounded by the village folk. The butcher and blacksmith held her back until the torches looked like candles flickering in the distance.
A day. She had only been given a day with her daughter. If she could have, she would have razed the village until there was nothing left but the foundations of the buildings, but she lacked the power. Any magical retaliation on her part could lead to discovery, and now it was not just her own life in danger. She knew if the villagers believed her a witch, they would kill her and her daughter in a heartbeat. Still, she would find a way to make them pay. They had stolen the joyful purpose of her life and left only a vengeful one in its place.
Nearly five years passed and the babe grew into a girl. Without the correct nourishment, her magic had begun to fade. She did not sip on milkweed sap, poisonous to mortals but sweet to witches. She did not learn to cavort with the small blue butterflies and coax them to her bidding. She did not learn how to hear the whispers of the ancient glacial lake, full of stories and warnings and intrigues. Instead, she played hopscotch and made daisy chains and clung to her mother's skirts at town meetings.
The young woman was not so young anymore; grief and anger had accelerated her aging. She still made textiles, but the brilliant jewel tones were replaced with hypnotizing blacks and sorrowful greys. They were still lovely, but there was a newly sinister quality to the fabric. She also shunned the village. Now instead of knocking on the door, the farmer's wife left a basket of wool on the gate and picked up the cloth a week later from the same gate. There were still rumors about how the woman got food and other goods, but no one was brave enough to visit after that night. After all, the child was surely better off now and there was no reason to invite trouble.
The woman had spelled her spinning wheel to turn without her. Instead, she devoted her hours to poring over her grimoires to find a suitable retaliation. Immolation? Too messy. Flip. Exsanguination? Even worse. Flip. Drowning. Flip. Skinning. Flip. Flip. Flip.
Flip.
And then she found it.
The Di Eithe.
It would take her some time to gather the materials and she would need to draw on the power of the harvest moon next month, but soon, she would have the revenge she had craved since her daughter had been ripped from her arms.
The harvest moon burned in the night sky, shedding an orange glow in the hidden clearing where the woman conducted all of her spellcraft. The golden thread looped on the branches of a thunderstruck old tree formed a dreamcatcher, much larger than the one that hung over her bed, but that was because this one was meant to catch much more than just her nightmares. The knucklebones of a stillborn baby, little silver bells from a surviving twin's rattle, and sprigs of baby's breath swayed in the wind along with various other more mundane beads that punctuated the golden web.
She began to chant, a lyrical set of syllables stolen from a history most didn't even know existed, let alone remembered. She moved around the clearing in a carefully calculated set of spirals, spinning along with the musical incantation. Finally, she came before the dreamcatcher. Steeling herself, she took hold of the small scythe sitting on the nearby stump. She placed her left hand on the tree stump and brought the blade to rest next to her littlest finger. She inhaled and raised the knife. She exhaled and brought it down. The last part of the ritual was nearly complete. She took the severed digit and hung it in the center of the web. Then she waited.
She waited for what seemed like an eternity, but the clearing remained still. Determined, she stayed in the clearing until sunlight began to filter in over the treetops, but still the Di Eithe did not appear. She walked back to her cottage, defeated.
In her cottage, she stoked the fire. She planned to burn all her grimoires, and once the blaze was big enough, herself. A few minutes of intense agony seemed an appropriate way to end the slow but intense pain of the last five years. The flames were just beginning to tickle the top of her fireplace when she heard a knock at the door. She couldn't place the sound at first. It had been five years since she had least heard a knock on the door. She opened the door to find a little boy, no more than seven or eight, so slight that it seemed gravity could barely find purchase on him. His light hair caught and multiplied the early morning light but stormy grey eyes betrayed wisdom incommensurate with his youthful appearance. In another world, he could have been the light twin to her dark daughter. A simple white flute resting easily in one hand was the only clue that hinted at his true identity.
"Are you…the Di Eithe?" the witch asked hesitantly. The illustration in her grimoire had been only of a simple white flute, so she had spent ample time over the last month imagining what she was summoning as she carried out her preparations, but she had never expected a child of all things.
"I am." The boy stepped inside, letting the door swing shut behind him. The witch stepped further inside away from him instinctively. "Why have you summoned me?"
"The townspeople have taken my daughter. I need your help to return her to me." The witch waited for the Di Eithe's response, but there was none. She tried again.
"They are stamping out her magic. She never sipped on milkweed sap or cavorted with the small blue butterflies or had whispered conversations with the ancient glacial lake." The Di Eithe remained unmoved. The witch tried once more.
"I worry the townspeople are killing the spirits of my daughter and the other children. They do not run wild and free as they should. Instead they are stifled, seen but not heard, dressed up like dolls to demonstrate their family's status at the cost of their souls." The witch's words finally had their intended effect.
"What do you require of me?" asked the Di Eithe.
The witch had had five years to think of a plan. "I wish for you to bring all the children here for a period of five days. I wish to have my daughter back and for those that took her from me to know the pain and panic of losing a child."
"Why five days?" asked the Di Eithe.
"They will not notice the children are missing the first day. They have gotten too used to them being quiet. The second day will be when they start to worry. The third day they will panic. The fourth day they will be angry. The fifth they will despair."
"It will be done." The Di Eithe brought his flute to his lips and began to play. The witch could only hear the faintest echo of its ethereal song, but all the children in the town were thoroughly entranced. They heard a melody in tones as clear as the black ice forming over the lake calling them to come closer and play. So they did.
Soon, the clearing where the witch had summoned the Di Eithe was filled with the peals of the laughter of playing children. "The townsfolk will hear," the witch worried, "can you ask them to be quiet?" The Di Eithe played one long low note and immediately the clearing was silent. The children continued playing exactly as they were before, but now no laughter left their open mouths, and their running feet made no sound.
The witch was awestruck. "I knew you could use the flute to persuade the children to do your bidding, but I did not realize the true extent of its power." The Di Eithe didn't hear her. He was too preoccupied with watching the children, particularly one set of mischievous twins that kept switching places during a game to confuse the other children.
Two days passed uneventfully, but on the third, the children became restless. "I'm too tired to keep running," said one little boy.
"I'm bored of playing marbles," said another little girl.
"I want to go home," said one of the older children. The other children agreed.
The witch was not prepared to manage this many children. She had already become overwhelmed with cut knees and picky eating and temper tantrums over the past two days. She begged the Di Eithe to use his power to make the children sit still and quiet, just for a little while, just so she could catch her breath. The Di Eithe had a better idea. "Why don't I tell you a story?" he asked the children. The children excitedly nodded their assent and sat in a half moon around the Di Eithe. He told a funny story about a boy and a sword and magic, occasionally playing short melodies on his flute to coax leaves into puppets to act out the story. When the boy finally threw away the sword and befriended the dragon, the children began to applaud, but silently. They still needed to hide from the townsfolk for three more days.
"I wish I could be like you," said one little girl. "I wish I had magical powers." The other children sighed with her.
The Di Eithe looked at the morose children and made a decision. "I will tell you a secret," he said. The children perked up at the prospect. Rarely were they trusted with such things. "You are all just as magical as I. The flute is what allows me to channel my inner magic which is something everyone has, especially children."
Immediately the children began to clamor, asking to use his flute, how to get their own, how to find their inner magic. The Di Eithe was still for a moment, then exhaled. "I will tell you another story. By the end, you will understand how I got my flute." The children sat silent and patient once again.
"Long ago, there was a village much like yours, except that it was a village of witches." Some of the children let out frightened whimpers. "Don't be afraid. Witches are not scary or evil. In fact, most of them are afraid of people without magic, because people without magic destroy things they do not understand.
"This was the only witch village in all the land. Not many witches are born, you see, so there were only enough witches to make one village. It became a paradise for them. They were free to be themselves and use their magic as they pleased, so they colored their windows with rainbows and used dandelions to make their roads soft as down under their feet. They grew crops and tulips and fruit trees that would not have been able to grow there otherwise.
"It was the best their lives had ever been, but the witch elders wanted more. Witch children were still rare, but most every witch craved the gift of parenthood. They decided to try experimental magic to create a rift in the veil to allow witch children through without waiting for a natural rift from a stillborn child or a twin consuming their sibling." The mischievous twins who were listening instinctively reached for the other's hand. "They knew this would require enormous power and sacrifice, but surely children were worth that and more.
"They tried many things. They made every concoction of every herb. They looked for signs in the entrails of foxes and squirrels and robins. They even asked the ancient lake, but it, too, was silent for the first time any witch could remember. The closest they came to success was when they sacrificed a set of twin children, but this still fell short of generating enough power to create a rift. They were close to giving up, but that night one of the witches had a dream. She saw a twin consuming their sibling in their mother's belly; as they absorbed their sibling, they glowed brighter and brighter until the brightness woke the witch. She sat up, covered in sweat, and realized what they needed to do.
"When the witch elders met the next day, she explained what they were missing. The power wasn't generated merely from the death of the twins, but from one causing harm to the other. In order for their spell to work, they would need one twin to kill the other. Whispers raced around the circle, like reeds playing tag in the wind. Which twins loved each other the least? How would they convince one twin to kill the other? Was this even possible? One witch stood up and addressed the council.
"'We've come too far to stop now. Does any witch know of any twins that are so estranged one may be convinced to kill the other?' There was silence from the council. The bond of twins was difficult to warp so completely. The eldest witch spoke.
"'We should not seek the twins with the weakest bond. Instead, we should seek twins with the strongest.' There were murmurs of dissent and confusion from around the table. One witch grew brave or insolent or maybe both and voiced their shared concerns.
"'We know you are the most skilled of us, particularly with illusions , but this only makes us warier of your words. Why should we seek the strongest? Surely they will be impossible to convince to sacrifice each other.' The eldest witch had an answer.
"'Do as I say and you will understand.' The rest of the witch council was uncertain, but they had no other plan, so they agreed to do as the eldest witch said.
"The next afternoon, the witch council surrounded a clearing much like this one. They hid behind the trees out of sight as the eldest witch had ordered. The eldest witch stood in the clearing, waiting for the twins they had asked to come. They had not told them why.
"When the sun was directly above the center of the clearing, a boy and girl approached the eldest witch. The girl had dark curly hair set off by alabaster skin, interrupted by piercing blue eyes and heart-shaped pink lips. The boy was so slight that it seemed gravity could barely find purchase on him and his light hair caught and multiplied the sunlight as stormy grey eyes took in the scene before him. The eldest witch stood before a tree stump carrying a small scythe and a collection of small bones. As they came close, she began to speak.
"'Thank you for coming. The witch council of elders requires your assistance to resolve one of the greatest problems of witchkind. Will you both help us?'
The twins looked at each other, the looked back at the eldest witch. The boy spoke. 'We will.'
"'Then I will need you to wait here while your sister comes with me. I need to explain her role to her first.' The eldest witch led the girl further among the trees until the boy could not see either of them. The clearing was still as he waited for his sister to return.
"The sun was still centered above the clearing when they returned. The eldest witch led the girl to the tree stump and made her kneel. She picked up the scythe and arranged the bones in a semicircle around the trunk. The girl lowered her head to lay down the trunk, keeping her gaze locked with her brother. The eldest witch moved the girl's hair to bare her neck. She raised the scythe and began chanting. The previously calm girl began to panic, begging the eldest witch not to do this, begging her brother to save her, begging someone to save her. The boy was young, so he had not yet learned to control his magic. He desperately reached for it to save his sister, but all he could find were his roiling emotions – fear, anger, despair, grief. Finally he found the magic at the very last second. As the eldest witch brought the scythe down, the boy released his magic in a pure stream at the eldest witch, engulfing her in flame. Except she wasn't engulfed in flame.
"The eldest witch raised her head from the tree stump and stood. The figure that was on fire suddenly looked much smaller than before. The boy barely had time to register the trick before he felt the wave of power building. It was going to rip him to shreds. He was going to rip them to shreds. The boy harnessed the power they tricked him into getting and razed the village, cursing the witches to never be able to gather again. They had taken his family so he would make sure they could never find theirs.
"Using the power saved him from being incinerated from it, but it still changed him. The boy walked towards the pile of ash that used to be his sister. All that was left was a femur. He took out his knife and got to work."
Over the course of telling this story, the Di Eithe had not used his flute to illustrate the scenes. He could not even meet the children's eyes as he spoke. Now he raised his head and picked up his flute. "I turned my sister's femur into this flute. It is her magic that gives it its power, so anyone who plays it can influence children the way you have seen me do, so long as they are in touch with their inner magic." The flute wobbled in his grip, as if he could barely muster the strength hold it. The children were silent. Then, a little girl got up and hugged the Di Eithe. The flute fell from his fingers and rolled away from him. One by one, the other children joined her.
The witch saw her chance.
Before anyone could notice or stop her, she picked up the flute and played one long low note to make the children remain motionless. Since the Di Eithe was an immortal child, he, too, had to obey the flute's melody. "My daughter, where are you?" asked the witch. "Come forward, come to your mother." No child moved. The witch played a series of short high notes to try to get her daughter to come forward, but still, no child moved.
She sank to her knees, clutching the flute to her chest. Finally, she whispered. "Will the mayor's daughter please come forward?" A girl of about five stepped forward, but she looked different. Her hair was a chestnut brown, and freckles peppered a button nose nestled under hazel eyes. There was no longer any magic in this child. The witch did not recognize her.
Numb, the witch stood and brought the flute to her lips. She began to play, a stately dirge that pressed ever onwards. As she played, she walked towards the lake. The children followed, stepping in time to the melody. She continued walking, not stopping until the waves lapped at her waist.
Though she stopped moving forward, the children didn't. They continued on until the waves covered the tops of their heads, and then they continued still onwards. The Di Eithe was the last child in the procession. The witch did not stop playing until she could no longer see the sunlight reflected from his head. When finally, she could see no trace of any of the children, the witch stopped playing and walked forward until the waves covered her head, too. She continued until she could no more.
Weeks passed and the townsfolk were no closer to figuring out what had happened to their children. Many of them thought the witch had something to do with the disappearance, but none had yet become brave enough to go knock on her door to ask. The mayor's wife often sat by the lake, trying to convince it to give its secrets up to her to help her find her daughter. Her nursemaid had told her that sometimes the ancient glacial lake loved to trade whispered secrets with those who came to visit. She was sitting by the lake when something washed up near her feet. It was polished white and smooth. More smooth, white objects began to wash up. The mayor's wife cupped up a handful; she had never seen such things wash up from the lake before. She turned them over and over, trying to figure out what they could possibly be. Then she realized what they were. The children's bones slipped through her fingers, joining the growing white line of their siblings outlining the shore as the waves finally brought the children home.

Hacker who stole nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence jailed for eight months
Yahoo Movies UK August 30, 2018

The hacker who broke into more than 200 iCloud accounts, including those of a host of Hollywood stars and then leaked personal photos has been jailed for eight months.
26-year-old George Garofano was one of four people charged over the 2014 hacking scandal, which targeted the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and Kirsten Dunst.
Garofano, who conducted the hacking spree while he was still at college, will follow his prison term with three years of supervised release and 60 hours of community service.
In a court memo, the prosecution said: "Mr Garofano's offense was a serious one. He illegally hacked into his victims' online accounts, invaded their privacy, and stole their personal information, including private and intimate photos. He did not engage in this conduct on just one occasion. He engaged in this conduct 240 times over the course of 18 months.
"Not only did Mr Garofano keep for himself the photographs he stole, he disseminated them to other individuals. He may have also sold them to others to earn 'extra income'."
Kate Upton (Credit: PA)
"In committing this offence, Mr Garofano acted in complete and utter disregard for the impact on his victims' lives."
Garofano admitted to posing as a member of Apple staff and contacting users with authentic-looking messages to obtain login and password details.
At the time of the hacking, Lawrence said that the incident was the equivalent of a 'sex crime', and called for a change in the law.
She told Vanity Fair: "Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offence. You should cower with shame. Even people who I know and love say, 'Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.'
"I don't want to get mad, but at the same time I'm thinking, I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body."
"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change.
"That's why these websites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me.
"I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity. I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside."
Three other hackers involved are yet to be sentenced.

Should Your Company Blog? An Essay (with Data) to Settle It Once & For All — Jay Acunzo | Author. Speaker. Maker of Shows About Work.
This post originally appeared on NextView's blog for startups, The View From Seed. Some content has been altered to apply these lessons more generally, beyond just startups.
Visit a company website, and you'll eventually drift towards a few standard links, from About to Team to Contact. But among those options, appearing on almost every site, is one link that simply doesn't belong with the rest: "Blog."
Don't misunderstand, it's not the fact that a blog exists that's so troubling. Instead, it's why it usually exists and why it gets lumped together with all those other basic navigation links -- namely, because many companies launch blogs simply because they're "supposed to." As a result, most sit idly, gathering digital dust, perhaps getting the occasional company news article, but never gaining any traffic and never becoming what blogs really should be: critical marketing assets.
So the question needs to be asked: Should your company even blog in the first place?
To answer, I wanted to share what I've learned over the past few years of running various blogs, as well as content marketing more generally. The most successful blog on which I've worked was HubSpot's, where I led the team as head of content. As of Q2 2013, when I left to join NextView, they were generating around 2 million monthly views and had over 300,000 subscribers. Today, I run NextView's blog, The View From Seed (you can subscribe here), in addition to Sorry for Marketing.
So, should your company blog? Only if you fully and completely buy into two things: the right mentality and the right goals.
Content marketing is just solving the same problems that your product solves through media you create and promote.
That's it! Jargon and complexity need not apply. Solve the same problem your product solves. Yes, you're doing it through a different medium than the product, but the goal remains the same. Through this definition, everything gets clearer. It's not about all that hype and rhetoric, nor is it about "being a publisher." (You don't sell ad space, so the mechanics are fundamentally different). It's simply about solving problems.
Great products succeed in helping customers overcome some kind of obstacle to achieve something (B2B, some B2C) or to fulfill a desire (mainly B2C). Blog content and all content marketing should drive qualified visitors, subscribers, and/or customers to those products. Both should always align, and both must be consistently built as assets and as solutions for your customers. The lone difference is that one asset -- your blog -- helps your audience before they're ready to buy. The other -- your product -- helps them after.
But this rarely happens. The definition gets muddied, the tools and tactics get in the way of the goals, and egos creep into this type of marketing -- you now have bylines, after all.
Unfortunately, in many cases, this turns a blog into a glorified list of company news or chest-beating opinion pieces, ranging from the ubiquitous "Welcome John Doe to the Team" to product updates to attempts at being brilliant or clever rather than helpful.
With the right, customer-focused mentality firmly entrenched, you should then turn your attention to the right goals.
For context, growing a blog audience is not a direct-response approach to marketing. If you're very young as a company and simply need to acquire 10 alpha customers or 100 free users, then paid acquisition via search, display, and social are better bets, as well as any scrappy, non-scalable means of acquisition you can execute.
Instead of immediate acquisition, blogging and building an audience are investments in the very near future (2–6 months) as well as the more distant future. That's because, while content marketing is lousy for direct response without an established audience, it's a much more efficient means to scale your marketing.
I'll explain the email part first, since it's much simpler. After that, I'll share some data to explain why an inventory or collection of helpful content is the most powerful marketing asset you can create.
When you first start blogging, your content might be surrounded by calls-to-action (CTAs) about you or your product, but those should be secondary, appearing on your site's nav bar and/or right rail. Your primary CTA needs to ask readers to subscribe to the blog via email (and not RSS, by the way).
You gain permission to contact them again: To successfully build an audience over time, you need permission to contact your target customers and to do so for free and on your own terms. With your blog subscribers, you actually own the attention and already have permission to reach out, rather than needing to pay for clicks and conversions, i.e., borrow attention, whenever you need something.
You don't need to publish as much content: Without an email list, you need to constantly appear to your audience in their social feeds and search results just to stay relevant. That requires a ton of content, which many companies struggle to deliver. But with an email list, consistency matters more than frequency. You're able to deliver a post to a group of potential readers and promoters on your own schedule.
You're reasonably assured of successful launches: Your email list can amplify both future marketing initiatives and future product launches. Rather than hoping someone hears about them, you know that at least some people will.
You can test and learn quicker to find traction: Through surveys, split testing, and/or launching things directly to some or all of your list, you're able to test, measure, and learn more quickly and easily to develop new content or even new product features.
You can convert new users/customers: Lastly, as is the traditional use case for email, you can nurture people towards using or buying your product.
The second goal of your blogging efforts is to build a collection of helpful content.
Building an audience is like pushing a boulder up a hill. Yes, you can ask 10 people to each try pushing it one at a time, but it's MUCH more effective if all 10 push together at the same time.
Similarly, the value of a blog is how much work each post does for you in aggregate. You want a collection of content that all has staying power and continues to drive traffic down the road. Some posts will get only a few views initially but continue to receive a few hits every day for weeks or months thereafter. Others get a lot of traffic initially, then zero next week. Still others get almost no traffic organically but might be highly effective when emailed or shared on social, acting as sales-enablement content or fodder for social follower growth.
So every time you get a moment or the motivation to blog, rather than obsessing over one article's results that day or week, think of it as an opportunity to continue building the base of a more powerful whole.
In December 2013, when I was at HubSpot, I stumbled on some data that forever changed how I view business blogging.
I was checking our monthly blog report and noticed that a seemingly mundane post (How to Create a Facebook Business Page) ranked third in that month's top 10 most-viewed articles. While it was somewhat surprising to see such a simple post generating so much traffic, it was the publish date of the article that really blew me away: October 2012. That post was FOURTEEN months old! And yet it got the THIRD-MOST TRAFFIC all that time later -- and it did so for a blog that sees over 2 million views per month. It's not exactly easy for a post to rank in the top 10 of a blog that large. That meant literally thousands of people read that old post 14 months later.
Scanning the rest of the monthly rankings, I noticed that this wasn't an exception. It was the rule. Just four out of the top 10 most-viewed posts that December were actually published in December. The rest were much, much older.
Stepping back from just the top 10 posts, I looked at the entire blog. I found that 70% of HubSpot's roughly 2 million views came from posts that were more than a month old.
Said another way: That entire team could stop blogging for a whole month and still see 70% of the expected results -- zero work needed.
Now that's ROI! Show me a PPC campaign capable of doing that.
So what was happening? Exactly what we've been discussing today: HubSpot started their blog with the mentality of solving customer problems, then systematically created an inventory of helpful content, capturing subscriber emails along the way.
When I first saw that 70% number, I became obsessed with how different types of content behave. Hoping to learn more, I did a quick audit of our blog content and grouped the posts into two categories: basic, helpful articles (e.g. How to Drive Leads through Twitter) and theoretical, abstract stuff (what I dubbed "thought leadership" or more egocentric content). Without sharing actual numbers, here's exactly what was happening and why owning an inventory of customer-focused content can be so powerful.
Predictably, it gets the most views it'll ever receive in the days right after it launches. But over time, it still gets some views on a daily basis -- maybe 50, maybe 10, maybe two -- taking days, weeks, or even months to reach zero views per day. This comes from search, social, people bookmarking it, and email subscribers returning in the future and forwarding the link to their contacts.
In the first case, when one of these thought leadership-style posts performed well (the purple line), it got the most traffic in the moments after its launch, just like the helpful content. But in a short amount of time -- much shorter than the red line -- its traffic crashed to zero.
Even more troubling, about half of the thought leadership category didn't work at all. Looking at the blue line, you'll notice that the initial traffic spike was sorely lacking, in addition to the crash right to zero just like the purple line. There's almost no ROI on that post.
So even when successful, trying to force thought leadership or write about your own company has a very finite return on the precious time you'd spend writing it. The choice is clear: Focus on solving customer problems, not conveying brilliant or company-first messages. As marketing expert Jay Baer likes to say, smart marketing is about help, not hype.
Now, let's revisit that red line. That one post doesn't really matter when you think about it. Who cares that its longtail of traffic gets you 12 extra views next week? That doesn't matter. That doesn't make a difference.
Essentially, you want a blog that delivers free results from past efforts. But if you spend time today writing about something different, you hurt your chances. HubSpot rarely strayed from being tactical and helpful, and their "floor" now gets them 7 of every 10 views and leads they generate.
"Okay, but HubSpot adopted all this stuff early. What about today, when everything is more crowded?"
Before you shrug this off, I'd point you to NextView's blog as an example.
Overall, in the top 10 most-viewed posts in December 2014, just two posts were actually published that month. The rest were older. The rest were "red lines" creating a floor of free traffic.
Just think about how this changes the approach to running a blog.
If you judge the three posts linked above based on their first week or two of results, then it'd be easy to call them failures. But they're not -- not even close. They're hugely valuable building blocks for our base of today's guaranteed traffic. They're evergreen posts that have staying power by providing help for our audience.
The View From Seed is not HubSpot's blog. It's a new blog that we launched less than a year ago. It started with zero audience and zero search clout. It has ONE person working on it (hi -- I believe we've met). But just months after launch, we already saw the positive effects of building an inventory of helpful content. Bit by bit, we're growing a useful, successful blog.
In the end, whether or not you decide to blog will depend on your specific situation and resources.
But if you do, don't deploy it like some unimportant site page. Don't leave it static. Don't obsess over near-term view counts. Don't fall in love with the idea of thought leadership.
Instead, solve customer problems. Be helpful, time after time after time. Not only is that the key to building a successful blog, it's the hallmark of any true thought leader.

Cuomo's gift to illegal weed dealers (opinion)
Thanks, governor! (Joe Gill/ Express-Times)Express-Times
By Tom Wrobleski | wrobleski@siadvance.com
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – New York state lawmakers couldn't agree on a bill to legalize marijuana for recreational use.
So they pulled a typical New York Democrat move: They simply decriminalized weed. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the legislation on Monday.
Because that's the Democratic Party's idea of "criminal justice reform": Just stop enforcing the laws that are on the books. It's a lot easier than the messy work of actually legislating.
So smoke 'em if you got 'em. Blaze away. You'll have to work pretty hard to get arrested for weed in New York.
Here's how it breaks down: The punishment for unlawful possession of weed will now be a violation, punishable by a fine. Past convictions for marijuana will be cleared from the books.
Given the fact that fewer and fewer elected officials in New York City care about arrest warrants anymore, you'll likely suffer no consequences if you don't pay your fine.
But here's the real good news for all you stoners out there: The law removes criminal penalties for possession of any amount of marijuana under two ounces, including if you're caught using in public.
Two ounces?
That's no small amount of weed. Depending on how fat you like your fatty, that could be enough pot for 100 joints. It basically doubles the amount you could hold in New York City without getting arrested.
So, hurray if you like to get high. It's a pretty good bet that with such relaxation of weed laws, more people will be encouraged to light up. After all, there's no risk to them. And people who already partake might decide to partake more. Heck, New York state is practically inviting you to.
And, hey, 100 joints? That's actually small-scale dealing quantity. Talk about ganjapreneurs! Maybe this is part of Cuomo's economic development drive. He's already boosted the craft beer and spirits industries in the state. Now we could see a whole new class of weed merchants pop up. What kind of weed goes well with a hoppy IPA? Think of the synergies.
OK, maybe that's an exaggeration. Back when my pals and I were regular weed consumers, it wouldn't take all that long to plow through 100 joints. We could make a pretty good dent in a stash that size over a three-day summer weekend. A hundred joints isn't going to turn anybody into El Chapo.
But it won't hurt. As state Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) points out, the legislation that Cuomo signed is a gift to black-market weed dealers. Because whatever weed is going to be smoked out there is going to continue to come from illegal sales.
That means no tax revenue for the state. That means no quality control. Which, sure, is the way it's always been. But now the state itself is giving weed dealers the wink and the nod.
But here's the real problem: Some state lawmakers and their constituents had plenty of questions and concerns about legalizing weed for recreational purposes. How would police deal with stoned drivers? What steps would be taken to ensure that underage kids don't smoke weed?
Simply decriminalizing answers none of those questions. Worse, it deprives everybody with skin in the game, from educators to concerned parents to law enforcement, of a true debate about the issue while likely increasing weed use in the state.
So, sure, Cuomo and others get to virtue signal that weed users of color will no longer be unfairly targeted by law enforcement. Legal weed has somehow become a civil rights issue. Whatever.
But what about the rest of us?


Hayden Swanson is from Galva, IL, which is a small town that is primarily an agricultural town, but does offer some industrial jobs. He will be transferring to Western Illinois University in the fall of 2016 as a Junior. Not only does he go to school and work as an intern, but he is also a volunteer fireman. Hayden also enjoyed participating on the soils judging team at Black Hawk East campus in the fall of 2015 and spring of 2016.
From the years of working on the farm and enjoying the agricultural peers surrounding him, Hayden decided agriculture was his best career option. His father is a Burrus dealer and enjoys the company. A close, family friend also worked for Burrus and explained the internship program to Hayden.
Excited was the only word he could use to describe his feeling when he received the call, considering he had just received the call after moving hay all day and was ready for another route in life to continue. Hayden told me, "I've enjoyed my journey with the internship very much and have met a lot of wonderful people. I enjoy traveling from farm to farm and having good discussions with growers as well as future growers." Working with Matt Montgomery and collecting agronomic knowledge has truly impacted Hayden. He also enjoys meeting farmers and getting their opinions and advice. One of the things Hayden is amazed by is how large of a region Burrus covers!
A positive relationship with Burrus and several growers, as well as some agronomic background, is something that has helped Hayden thrive as an intern. In order to be more prepared for his internship, he wishes now that he would have attended more Burrus hosted events with his father to meet people as well as learn about the products sold. Hayden highly recommends this internship program because not only is it a great learning experience, but also an "eye opener" in the field of agriculture.

Get ready for a great start to the school year at the Back to School Bash, Aug. 8 at Pacific Medical Centers' Federal Way Clinic.
The summer sun is beginning to fade and it's just about time for school to get back in session. Are your kids ready to hit the books again?
After a summer full of fun, it can be difficult to get back into the school year routine. Here are three things that you can do right now to get the kids prepared and ready to start the school year on a high note.
After late summer nights watching movies, hanging out with friends and eating enough junk food to keep their eyes wide open all night, it's time to get back into a proper bedtime routine. At least one week or so before school starts, it's a good idea to get the kids used to an early bedtime again.
Along with physically getting into bed on time, engaging them in a pre-bedtime routine such as brushing their teeth and reading a book before crawling under the covers will instill good habits and set them up for a great rest.
It can be very easy in the summer to spoil the kids with treats and goodies that lack the nutrition that they need to excel at school. As the new school year approaches, healthy meals and snacks will play a key role in preparing your children for the busy year ahead and keep them focused and energized as they take on homework, school sports and activities.
If you're not sure what kind of diet will be best for your children this school year, there are some great resources here.
Further to plenty of sleep and a healthy diet, a visit to the doctor will help to prepare students for the school year. A general check-up can pinpoint health concerns and staying up to date on immunizations will help to prevent illness during those busy school days.
To help prepare both students and parents for the upcoming school year, Pacific Medical Centers' Federal Way Clinic will be hosting a Back to School Bash event on Aug. 8. You can expect great giveaways, healthy lunch ideas, an inflatable obstacle course and refreshments at this free event, taking place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Federal Way Clinic. And, the first 100 kids will receive a free backpack with school supplies!
Getting the kids back into a routine will make the back-to-school transition easier for them and for you. If you have any questions on how to keep your kids strong and healthy heading into the new school year, you can set up a well-child exam at Pacific Medical Centers' Federal Way Clinic.

Title: Quantum Mechanics Studies of Cellobiose Conformations

Interpretive Summary: Many of the physical characteristics of cotton are unexplained but are almost certain to result from their three dimensional molecular structures of its constituent cellulose molecules. If these structures could be understood, it should be possible to either do a better job of taking advantage of the unique traits, or to carry out some modification of the structure so that the fiber could carry out its functions better, or even take on new functions. Such structures are difficult to study by experiment, but can be studied with computerized molecular modeling. The current paper discusses the results of a modeling study carried out with electronic structure theory, or quantum mechanics. Such calculations take extremely long times. The study, on a very short version of the cellulose molecule, cellobiose, was surprisingly predictive of the experimentally observed shapes of cellobiose and similar molecules, including cellulose itself. This work provides a benchmark for faster, empirical methods. It also suggests that water is not likely to affect the shape of the cellulose molecule much. This has been a continuing question. This work is of interest to scientists working with structure-related problems in cotton and other cellulosic fibers, as well as to computational chemists.
Technical Abstract: Three regions of the Phi,Psi space of cellobiose were analyzed with quantum mechanics. A central region, in which most crystal structures are found, was covered by a 9 x 9 grid of 20° increments of Phi and Psi. Besides these 81 constrained minimizations, we studied two central sub-regions and two regions at the edges of our maps of complete Phi,Psi space with unconstrained minimization, for a total of 85 target geometries. HF/6-31G(d) and single-point HF/6-311+G(d) calculations were used to find the lowest energies for each geometry. B3LYP/6-31G+G(d) and single point B3LYP/6-311+G(d) calculations were also used for the unconstrained minimizations. For each target, 181 starting geometries were tried (155 for the unconstrained targets). Numerous different starting geometries resulted in the lowest energies for the various target structures. The starting geometries came from five different sets that were based on molecular mechanics energies. Although all five sets contributed to the adiabatic map, use of any single set resulted in discrepancies of 6 to 11 kcal/mol with the final map. Generally, other starting geometries gave lower energies at the three other types of calculation. However, each type gave the same overall lowest energy structure that was found previously by Strati et al. This global minimum, stabilized by highly cooperative hydrogen bonds, is in a region that is essentially not populated by crystal structures. HF/6-31G(d) energy contours of the mapped central region were compatible with the observed crystal structures. Observed structures that lacked O3…O5' hydrogen bonds were about 1 kcal/mol above the map's minimum, and observed structures that have a pseudo two-fold screw axis ranged from about 0.4 to 1.0 kcal/mol. The HF/6-311+G(d) map accommodated the observed structures nearly as well.

Just wanted some feedback. Does anyone think that T could possibly cause headaches upon wakening in the morning? Seems to me it is possible even when sleeping the T is at work and can cause waking headaches? Just a thought.
My cousin was prone to cluster headaches, it was due to the fact his sinuses were constantly blocked. He had sinus surgery and now doesnt suffer the headaches anymore.
I too have cluster headaches. Clusters are umlike any other headache. They come is cycles with attacks up to 6 a day for a period of weeks to months. Usually sinuses have nothing to do with it.That being said I am so happy for your cousin.

AHI Open Letter to Scientific American
February 2, 2017 /in AHI VIEWPOINT /by Editorial Staff
Mariette DeChristina
Dear. Ms. DiChristina:
I am writing to express our surprise and disappointment with your recent article "How Drug-Resistant Bacteria Travel from the Farm to Your Table" written by Melinda Wenner Moyer. The issue of antibiotic resistance is a scientifically technical and nuanced issue with more questions than answers. We hoped a scientific publication like yours would be able to fairly handle these technicalities and address the nuances and unknowns for readers in a fact-based approach. Instead, the piece resorts to a distinct narrative attempting to alarm readers.
The headline speaks of bacteria traveling from farm to table – which are what we call foodborne bacteria, particularly Salmonella and Campylobacter. The 2013 Threat Report from the Centers for Disease Control places these threats – those that might come from animals – in proper perspective. In the report, CDC described 18 bacteria that comprise the antibiotic resistance threat, and properly listed only those two foodborne pathogens as those that might come from animals. And thanks to 20 years of government monitoring – information shared with your writer but not reflected in the story – we know a great deal about the risk of these pathogens. The 2014 Integrated Report for the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) shows that trends continue to improve both in the overall prevalence of foodborne bacteria and in the resistance rates to these bacteria. For Salmonella:
82 percent of Salmonella isolates from humans had no resistance to any tested antimicrobial, and this susceptibility rate has steadily increased since testing began in 1996.
Resistance in Salmonella to the most critically important antibiotics is generally low and declining. Quinolone resistance remains below 3 percent in turkeys and below 1 percent in chickens.
Multi-drug resistant Salmonella in humans and cattle HACCP samples declined to the lowest levels in 20 years.
In Campylobacter:
The presence of Campylobacter on retain chicken meat has declined 37 percent since 2003. No Campylobacter was found on retail turkeys in 2014.
Resistance in C. jejuni – the most common serotype – to erythromycin, an important macrolide and the antibiotic class of choice for treatment, remains low in humans and in chicken sources.
These results are consistent with recent papers published by a team of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina, which performed a review of the current literature on these two foodborne pathogens. The team found no conclusive evidence of a definitive link between the use of antibiotics in food animals and emergence of drug-resistant Campylobacter. Concerns about Campylobacter were linked to drinking raw milk or eating food products made from raw milk. Similarly, the Salmonella review found no study in recent literature that definitely links antibiotic use in animals to antibiotic resistant Salmonella.
Despite the existence of these data regarding foodborne bacteria and your headline referencing foodborne bacteria, the article focused on MRSA – which CDC has specifically said is not a foodborne bacterium. This is a critical differentiation that should be made in a scientific publication. There are distinct strains of MRSA in hospitals, in the community and in livestock. Because this resistant bacteria emerged decades ago in hospitals, has spread through community settings and only more recently emerged in livestock, the origin of the livestock strain is likely a non-farm setting and not due to antibiotic use or other farm practices. Your article fails to help readers understand that they need not be concerned about contracting MRSA from the food they eat.
This confusion was also evident in the discussion about MRSA in the Netherlands. The paragraph opens with a reference to livestock-associated strains of MRSA, then follows up with a sentence about the "deadly" results of hospital acquired MRSA, failing to note they are entirely different strains. The statement "…one-fifth of the Netherlands' human MRSA infections were identical to bacteria that had come from Dutch livestock" is incorrect because in confuses "infection" with "colonization."
The article fails to present a fact-based approach in discussing other bacterial threats also not connected to animals, or antibiotic use in animals. "Stripped of the power of protective drugs, today's pedestrian health nuisances – ear infections, cuts, bronchitis – will become tomorrow's potential death sentences."
The article uses other terminology straight from activist literature to describe antibiotic use, including terms like "mass-feed" and "antibiotic-laced." An accurate description would have been useful for your readers: All antibiotics are approved by FDA based on data submitted by companies. Generally, these products receive a label claim for a specific dose aimed at a specific disease or pathogen, and antibiotics used in feed – whether they are prescribed by a veterinarian or not – must strictly follow those directions on the label. Typical doses in feed range from 10 milligrams per ton to 50 milligrams per ton.
The article misleads readers on two important points regarding the current effort to implement the FDA Judicious Use Policy, by which the use of antibiotics similar to those used in humans will no longer be used to promote growth in animals and all the remaining uses will require the supervision of a veterinarian. First, it says "most" companies have agreed to comply. That has been false since April of 2013, when FDA announced that all companies with products subject to the new policy had notified the agency of their agreement to comply and, as of January, full implementation of the policy has been completed. Second, the article confuses amount of use with label claims by referring to a "disease-control exemption." This does not exist. There are no medically important antibiotics where current doses and durations are the same as those for prevention claims. The use of medically important antibiotics for growth in animals has stopped as of January 1, 2017 and be strictly illegal thereafter. As explained earlier, label directions for antibiotics in feed must be followed. Current label claims for prevention uses typically list either a specific disease being addressed or a specific pathogen, and cannot be used unless a veterinarian says they are necessary. Thus, the sentence, "…found that farmers will still be able to administer one quarter of the drugs at the same dosages with no limits on treatment duration – as long as they say they are using them to prevent or control disease" is not accurate.
The article's focus on the overall amount of use in the wake of implementing the FDA Policy is again disappointing in a science publication. As we explained, use amounts do not equate to increased resistance or risk. The NARMS data demonstrate this point since antibiotics have been used for more than 40 years yet resistance has steadily decreased. Some antibiotics, like the macrolide class, have been used for years and resistance in Camplylobacter to these antibiotics considered drugs of choice have remained exceedingly low.
The writer failed to consult other publications and perspectives on resistance in E.coli UTI's. We directed her to Randy Singer, who published an article on this topic in Frontiers in Microbiology, February 2015, Volume 6, Article 28, which states:
Many of the most important strains of human ExPEC globally, such as ST131, are highly virulent and clonal implying routes of transmission other than food."
Taken in its totality, the link between ExPEC in animals and UTI in humans might exist, but studies conducted to date do not enable an estimation of the relative importance of this route of transmission."
We are dismayed by the anti-agriculture viewpoint of this article. The many biosecurity measures that the author describes to make the charge of "hiding" are in fact methods to ensure the animals are not subject to additional diseases from humans – including the MRSA that is highlighted in the article. The author describes a USDA-FDA collaboration to collect more antibiotic use information, but fails to point out that effort is widely supported by agriculture, veterinary and animal health groups who joined with public health groups to lobby Congress to support funding for this effort. In addition, the major species groups are collecting their own use data to share with USDA in support of this effort.
The agriculture community is nothing like the one described in your article. Agriculture supports a One Health approach to the public threat of antibiotic resistance. We have participated in the White House efforts to address this issue – including participation in the 2015 White House Forum on Combatting Antibiotic Resistance and serving on the President's Advisory Council on Combatting Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. And the entire industry has worked for the past three years to be ready to fully implement FDA's Judicious Use policy, ensuring that medically important antibiotics are used in food animals only to fight disease under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. We believe the availability of antibiotics to address disease threats in animals is important to a safe food supply and that those tools should be used only when necessary and in the amount necessary to fight disease.
We hope that in the future your publication will better reflect both the science and the significant steps being taken by the agriculture community to address this important public health issue.

As a designer a large part of our work is about exploring constraints and possibilities, which is often a very iterative process. We try this, we try that, we document our findings, and we revisit what we did yesterday.
This tedious work can take up a huge amount of time. Simply increasing the height of some elements of a list might mean performing 10 resize operations, 9 move operations — all while keeping track of spacing and alignment in your head.
It shouldn't have to be this hard. After all, we have these amazingly powerful computers at our disposal, where one of the fundamental aspects is effective repetition and reuse. I.e. a computer is able to perfectly repeat the same action multiple times at blazing speeds, something utilized by writing professionals, software engineers, data researchers and others. But not as much by designers.
Today we are excited to introduce a novel new feature that is going to relieve this repetitive "monkey work" for designers and speed up your explorations.
We call it Smart Selection — it helps you adjust spacing and arrangement of multiple items in a selection of objects on the canvas with ease, among other things. Think of it as a power-up. It gives you the freedom to focus on the essentials of your creative process, rather than the minutiae.
Smart Selection works automatically on any selection or group of three or more items with equal, uniform spacing. With items selected, you can adjust spacing, position and size of all these items at once.
Drag the pink-colored handles in the space between objects to adjust spacing of all items.
Drag the ring to quickly rearrange items.
Click one or more items' pink rings to mark them: this allows resizing by pulling on their edges.
In building this feature, we wanted to find a solution within the paradigms that designers are already working in, rather than introduce a brand new way of thinking.
With this in mind, we created a way to assist you right on the canvas where you are able to directly manipulate objects, without needing to learn any special new tools or object types. It's a pure UI feature.
Alongside Smart Selection, we're introducing another great feature called Tidy Up which makes it fantastically easy to get a Smart Selection out of something messier. No need to be precise when playing around — just invoke the Tidy Up action to deftly arrange selected items. Think of it as a "distribute" function that does a better job.
Tidy Up takes the selected items and shifts them so that they're both near each other and have the same spacing. The use cases go beyond just assisting with Smart Selection — you'll find Tidy Up helpful with things like tables and toolbars. Unlike the traditional distribute function, the spacing will always be even.
To help you visualize how Tidy Up works, imagine working on 20 screens, all constituting one flow. We want these to be neatly arranged with perfect spacing in between, so that when we present this to other stakeholders, it looks refined.
Left: Manual work. Right: Tidy Up with Smart Selection.
Doing this in traditional design tools often means manually going through each and every space (19 spaces to measure in our example!) and adjusting the ones that are off.
With Tidy Up all this can be done in a single quick action — select your screens and then click the Tidy Up button at the top of the right sidebar. The keyboard shortcut for Tidy Up is ⌥⌘T on macOS and ctrl-alt-T on other platforms.
We've got a lot more in store for you in the coming months, including support for 2D grids with Smart Selection and other exciting things.
As always, we're eager to hear what you do with Smart Selection and to get your feedback on how we can make it even better. Reach out to us in-app (the question mark button) or on Spectrum.
Welcome to the newly instated #FigmaTip Roundup where we pull our favorite Figma mini-lessons from the design community.

Detectives investigating the horrific murder of two French students have arrested a sixth person, police said today.
The 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempting to perverting the course of justice in south London.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the man, who voluntarily attended a police station yesterday, was released on bail until August 25.
Two men have already been remanded in custody over the deaths of Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez.
The two 23-year-old biochemistry students were stabbed hundreds of times in a frenzied and prolonged attack at a rented bedsit in New Cross, south east London.
Both were nearing the end of a three-month research placement studying DNA at Imperial College London when they were murdered.
Daniel Sonnex, 23, of Peckham, and Nigel Farmer, 33, of no fixed address, have been charged with murder and perverting the course of justice.


How to cut the skin off an orange – or any citrus fruit, really, tangerines, grapefruit, blood oranges, etc. All you need is a sharp knife and an attack strategy. Here's the one that works for me.
Once the oranges are sliced, make something that's surprising and delicious – for a salad, try Savory Orange Slices or for dessert, try Citrus Slices with Orange Flower Water, Spices & Chocolate Shavings.
Slice Off the Top and the Bottom.
First, cut small slices off the top and the bottom. Make sure to cut completely through the "pith" – that's the white fibrous layer between the orange skin and the orange sections.Two reasons why we do this.
First, it needs to come off. But it also creates flat – and safe – surfaces to work with.
Slice Off the Sides, Just from the Top.
Place the orange with a flat-side on the cutting board. Holding your knife at an angle, slice off a section of orange peel, top to bottom, cutting at least halfway down, a little more if you can. After finishing one section, turn the orange and cut off another. Repeat until the top half is "bare of skin".
Now turn the orange over, place the flat side down and repeat the process, removing the rest of the skin.
Cutting cross-wise, cut the orange into slices.
