Getting Past Your Fear of Improv
Five easy games to hone your skills
Written by Tatum Hunter

TRAINING IN IMPROVISATIONAL COMEDY is enjoying popularity everywhere from corporate offices to elementary school classrooms. In improv, performers create scenes in real time, developing characters and scenarios without using a script. This approach requires a strong commitment to agreement and positivity, which is why so many improvisers credit the form with building confidence, teamwork, and social skills.
"Sounds cool," you're thinking, "but I can't make up a scene on the spot in front of people." No improviser is expected to create scenes from scratch right away. There are hundreds of games and exercises that build the skills necessary for good improv — and good acting. You can use these games to hone your improv abilities, improve your scene work, or just have fun with friends.
If the thought of improvising makes your blood run cold, here are five easy games that will have you saying "Yes, and" in no time.

PASS THE ENERGY
Pass the Energy is a foundational improv game. While it is simple to play, it requires all the elements necessary for successful improv: paying close attention to other players, accepting what they offer, and adding your own twist.
Here's how it works.
Gather three or more players (the more, the better), and stand in a circle.
To begin, "pass" a sound and gesture to the person on your right. That person will then recreate your sound and gesture and pass them to the person on their right. This continues all the way around the circle.
Each player should try to recreate the sound and gesture passed as closely as possible. This ensures that everyone is truly listening and watching. Watch your sound and gesture evolve as they travel around the circle.
Any player can initiate a new sound and gesture at any time, but give each combination some time to travel around the circle.
Focus on making eye contact as you pass the energy.
To make the game your own, choose a theme for your sounds and gestures, such as sea creatures, superheroes, or Ariana Grande vocal runs.
A favorite among improvisers, this game gets everyone moving. The player in the center of the circle is in the "hot spot," so the focus should be on supporting whatever that person does with energy and enthusiasm.
Gather three or more players, and stand in a circle.
To begin, one player stands in the center of the circle and hums a song. The first player to shout the title of the song then goes to the center and hums a new song.
The players in the circle should dance, clap, and otherwise rock out to the song being hummed.
To make the game your own, transform your circle into a shoulder-to-shoulder line. One player steps forward and sings a song, and the others immediately support that choice by becoming backup singers and dancers. Try to coordinate your movement with the other players in line.

GIBBERISH TRANSLATOR
Improvisers use gibberish exercises to help players avoid overthinking, bickering, and rambling. These games also help focus on the whole person in the scene, instead of just on the words.
Two players sit in chairs facing each other. A third player stands between them, upstage of the chairs.
The seated players conduct a conversation entirely in gibberish. This does not need to be fancy. "La la la" works fine, as long as you use inflection and facial expression.
After each line of dialogue, the standing player provides a translation of the gibberish.
To make the game your own for two players, give one player a specific character (like poet, scholar, or preacher) and have them speak or read to the audience in gibberish, using emotion and gestures as much as possible. A second player introduces the speaker and provides the translations.
In improvised scenes, performers must draw on small suggestions or details to create fleshed-out characters. Character creation exercises (which may remind you of Anne Bogart's Viewpoints method) help sharpen this skill and make actors more comfortable playing characters who aren't similar to them.
All players walk around the space. One leader calls out questions: "What body part does your character lead with?" "Where was your character raised?" "What makes your character angrier than anything else?"
Players should not answer these questions aloud but should adjust their character's body, countenance, and movement as they select their answers.
After about 10 questions, the leader calls one player to the center of the room and interviews them in character. Then the leader can either interview more characters or start the exercise again to generate new ones.
To make the game your own, instead of an interview, allow the characters to move around the space and interact with each other. Notice the dynamics among different characters.

PARTS OF A WHOLE
Each participant in a theatre production is crucial to the success of the show, and the same is true of improv. Whether you're initiating new scenes or simply providing detail and color, you must be willing to take control when it's your turn, and let go when it isn't. In this game, each player must make choices that help the entire group reach its goal.
All players form a shoulder-to-shoulder line.
One leader calls out a large object or machine (like a train, hot air balloon, or roller coaster), and the rest of the players use their bodies to create the machine, each player making up a single component.
Players should add themselves to the machine one at a time so that each participant's intention is clear.
To make the game your own, instead of a machine, try creating an environment, such as a beach party, family reunion, or the red carpet at the Oscars.
BUILD YOUR SKILLS
Improv is an excellent way to grow into a more flexible actor and more confident person. These five exercises should help you set aside your fear and start playing.
If you'd like to perform improv or sharpen your skills, search online for classes near you and keep an eye out for our annual International Thespian Festival workshop lineup. Happy improvising.

Scarlett's journey with Children's started at the age of two. What started as an Emergency Room visit continued to now being a "frequent flyer" in the hospital.
Scarlett is currently four and at the age of two and a half she was diagnosed with severe Crohn's disease. Having a child with a life altering illness is tough. You need a community to rally around you and with you.
From the start of her emergency visit we knew we stepped into a hospital that was going to ease our nerves, comfort our daughter, be compassionate to us and Scarlett, and provide excellent, knowledgeable care. Children's cares. Scarlett receives infusions now on a regular basis in the Infusion Suite. She also is regularly going to outpatient appointments and inpatient as well. The nurses all know her name and love her like she is one of their own. As a mom, there is no greater comfort when you yourself physically can't take of your child's needs. They are careful with her and calm. They listen to our concerns. The staff makes it almost pleasant to come to her appointments, rather than dwelling on hard times.
Children's hospital comes highly recommended by our family. We are so thankful to have them in our lives and a HUGE part of Scarlett's journey.

Last Home of Descartes

René Descartes is one of the most influential philosopher-mathematicians in history, famous for suggesting "Cogito ergo sum," or "I think, therefore I am." A French native, he traveled extensively throughout his career in the early 17th century, but untimely met his demise in Sweden—some say because of the Swedish Queen Christina.

Descartes was a brilliant mind but not quite a brilliant businessman; toward the end of his life he was poor and living in the Netherlands, having lost most of what he owned. Then in 1649, the young Queen Christina of Sweden invited him to move to her country to tutor her in the ways of the ancient Greek philosophers.
Unfortunately, the two did not click, as the queen felt unmoved by Descartes's cold logic and found his lessons dull. On top of that, she insisted that the philosopher teach her in the early morning before 5 a.m., knowing very well that due to his fragile health he rarely got out of bed before noon.
Descartes was often found complaining about the conditions he had to work under and how the cold and dark Scandinavian mornings would be the death of him. Technically, he was not wrong. In January 1650 he caught a bad case of pneumonia, a mere five months after he moved to Sweden and only four sessions into his lessons with the queen.
Unfortunately, Descartes did not recover from this disease and died the following month, to the great despair of the French, who are said to have never truly forgiven Sweden for this crime. The philosopher's body was temporarily kept in Sweden but eventually smuggled back to France where it can be found today.
The house where Descartes lived during his time in Sweden can still be seen in Stockholm's Gamla Stan, or Old Town. The façade of the red Baroque building is decorated with sculptures of the gods Mercury and Neptune, and marked with a small plaque.
The plaque is on the outside of the building and is visible 24/7. The nearby square is also a good place to see the Katarinahissen and the Stomatol sign.

Philippa Davidson's February on the floor
We are sleeping on the floor to lift a child off the ground and into their first bed
This February, from the 18th, I am spending a week sleeping on the floor to raise money to buy a bed for a family in Ethiopia. There are families who spend every night sleeping on the cold, hard floor so I'm taking on the "February on the floor" challenge so that they no longer have to and instead can sleep in a comfortable bed.
My husband and I sponsor a child who lives in Ethiopia and goes to the Bekoji School run by Stand by Me. In August 2019 we were fortunate to be able to visit the school with a small group from the UK and meet Mulu, who we had been sponsoring for nearly 10 years. Prior to our visit, our group were raising funds to buy materials to build beds and provide bedding for families in the town. See the photos of us building 16 beds and then the celebrations of the day they were ready to be delivered to 16 families in Bekoji. During our visit we visited a number of families whose homes were just one room; they had only the bare essentials to cook and many had only a tarpaulin on which to sleep. Therefore, when Stand by Me told me about 'February on the Floor', an opportunity to support the providing of more beds for more families, I decided to take up the challenge. Your gifts will be so much appreciated by those who have so little. Thank you for your support.
A week of discomfort for me will be completely worth it as I know that a bed will transform this family's life. Please give generously as I would love to give the gift of a bed to as many families as possible. I can't wait to update you with photos and details of my experience. I'll also share the photos I will receive of the families whose lives have been changed because of your support.
Philippa
Stand by Me rescues kids from extreme circumstances, then does whatever it takes to provide the care, love and attention they need to thrive. We care for almost 4,000 kids across the world, from Myanmar to Colombia to Ethiopia. No two are the same, some are orphaned, some abandoned, some abused or living in extreme poverty, so we take care to understand and meet each of their individual needs from food and healthcare, to loving parents and quality education. We're in this for the long term, until they reach their potential, stand on their own two feet and become who they were created to be.

The beauty industry is a highly competitive segment with very limited profit margins, separate from the actual wages earned by hair stylists, color experts, nail techs, and other support staff.
In 2012, a study conducted by the financial firm Sageworks reported an average of 7.7 percent profit margins for most salons in the United States. The research firm IBISWorld predicts that U.S. beauty salon revenue will grow 3.3 percent annually through 2017, to $49.3 billion, but profit growth will be generated primarily by sales of personal care products.
With this in mind, salon owners need to be savvy about marketing investments, and should seek ways to enhance their online and offline reputation, with the final goal in mind of having increased upward price elasticity. In short, your goal is to be so coveted that you will be able to offer your services menu at a higher price and still be booked at 100 percent for at least three to four weeks ahead.
When it comes to enhancing your online and offline reputation, word of mouth remains king. Whether your most loyal customers are spreading the word with their friends, or are taking advantage of technology and social platforms, the results are quite similar. With your salon in the spotlight, you will see an increase in demand and, consequently, added flexibility in adjusting your fees to reflect your popularity.
Beauty services are among the very few brick and mortar businesses where pricing structure can be adjusted in direct correlation to demand and popularity. In fact, some hair professionals with a solid reputation are known to bring home upwards of $400 for a haircut. Now that we have touched on the two main avenues to increase revenue, product, and improved services, let's take a look at ways you can improve your online reputation in order to maximize the lead generation and overall revenue for a hair salon or beauty services provider.
The best and busiest salons are known for their ability to innovate and embrace new technologies by offering their customers a variety of options to improve the color and texture of their hair. Stay on top of the latest trends by attending industry tradeshows and receiving relevant training. Armed with new knowledge and new products, make it a point to inform your customers of your newly acquired skills as well as the availability of enhanced services that can complete their beauty experience.
There are multiple approaches that will let you bank on innovation, from assuming green practices to making your beauty salon a one-stop shop, with services such as lash extensions and skin treatments. If customers feel like they are walking out of your shop transformed, then they are far more likely to brag about the services they received online and offline.
In reviewing a large sample of highly positive reviews associated with the beauty and salon industry, we could not help but notice a trend: special occasions trigger increased loyalty. Make it a point to offer services for weddings and other special events.
By virtue of having a more personal and meaningful relationship with a customer, you stand a greater chance of securing a highly rated review as well as word-of-mouth recommendations. Make sure that special-occasion services are treated with utmost care, commitment, and punctuality. Whenever possible, secure permission from the customer to include highlights about the event on your own site as well as Facebook page.
By packaging your products and services and creating membership-based engagement, you increase the dollar amount per transaction, solidify repeat business opportunities, boost value perception, and improve recall when customers use your products at home. Salons that offer packages designed to pass along discounted prices perform better revenue wise, and often secure better reviews than salons without packaged options.
Expand your online and offline social networks by asking your customers to provide referrals and endorsements through word-of-mouth or via social sites such as Facebook. Incentivize this type of engagement by providing referral incentives to your customers and advocates as well as the person he or she referred to your salon.
Through referral programs, you are able to amplify your visibility and gain two-way access to your customers and their friends through social media and other channels. Networked customers are far more likely to rave about a service than those that perceive themselves isolated from the community of users.
One of the most important moves you will ever make is to ensure you are in control of your business page on all relevant review sites, and that you have taken the time to update the content to reflect the depth and breadth of your offering. Along with product lines and brands, which, on their own, have the potential of bringing customers through your doors, include services and pricing guides.
Oftentimes, potential customers are deterred even when you have great reviews because they lack a price-point reference to help them decide if your salon is within their budgetary capacity.
Beauty is a visual experience, and having multimedia-rich review site profiles will help boost your online reputation and lead generation. Consider hosting special events focused on beauty, and make it a point to capture extraordinary images of real people in your community to add to your social profiles or review site galleries.
Make it a point to engage with your reviewers, with the goal of building community, expressing gratitude, and righting wrongs by providing clarification or remedy. Timely review responses not only speak to the reviewer but also to future potential customers that will use your response to assess your commitment to customer service as well as knowledge and expertise.
One of the best ways to prevent negative reviews before they happen is to foster a culture of communication, and establish standard mid-process checks to ensure your work is in line with the expectations of your client. A mid-process check will allow you to change the direction of the service and ensure you have a satisfied client walking out the door.
There are many reasons you need to have a systematic approach to getting to know your clients. Better knowledge of your clients' preferences will allow you to perfect and align your service offering based on the data you have collected about your clients.
A secondary benefit of keeping customer cards is having the ability to capture emails, social profiles, and other ways to connect with your clients that are conducive to referrals, reviews, and amplification of your brand message.
One of the best ways to promote your salon on review sites as well as social profiles is by creating before-and-after albums. Consider taking a few additional minutes to enhance the look of your client by providing a complimentary mini makeup session, and take pictures of their hair before and after the services. Obtain their permission to share, or ask them to share with a tag to your Twitter or Facebook.
Additionally, if your salon provides services in a tourist-heavy destination, then consider asking your guests to include their before-and-after shots when requesting reviews.
Manage your reputation before a neglected reputation manages you out of business. Learn to listen to the voice of your customers by implementing monitoring policies of the most popular review sites for beauty-service providers. Understand what drives positive and negative feedback, and shape your products, services, and promotional campaigns around what your customers truly like and enjoy. If you are not yet monitoring your online reviews, you can request a demo of ReviewTrackers today.

A friend of mine is a hair dresser and she markets through Facebook. She offers random discounts and things especially on days when things are slow. Seems to be working well for her.
I've tried Facebook marketing and it never really panned out. I suppose it depends on how big of a city you're located in. The only thing that's actually worked out for me is Yelp.
I think these are all great things that you can do as a business owner, especially one that deals with a service that can cost the customer a lot of money per visit.
I had a salon I always went to and loved and when I moved I was crushed to have to find a new salon. When I went searching for a new salon I looked very closely at online reviews and their online presence. I also looked into their services, I liked salons with innovative services even if I might personally not get them it let me know that they were keeping up with the latest trends.


What accounts for the fury of the "yellow jackets" as they rage against Macron's new climate taxes? Why has this protest continued for over three weeks and, according to polls, gained the support of 73% of the French population?
In the first place, they all know that the 7c/litre on diesel and 4c/litre on petrol to subsidise renewable energy are quite unnecessary taxes, driven by the virtue-signalling of smug politicians. They know both fuel taxes and renewable energy are highly regressive, reducing the disposable income of poorer households while they drive up the cost of food and other essentials. They would have voted in droves against an expensive and futile "war on climate change", but have never been given that chance.
This response should not have been a surprise. For the last 20 years, in polls taken all over the world, climate change has almost always come last in lists of voter concerns.
When asked how much they would be prepared to pay to "fix" the changing climate, the standard answer has been $5 per household per month. That limit is already well exceeded in many developed countries. But no government has ever come up with any convincing fix. Instead, they propose taxes, levies, subsidies, mandates, etc., which the electorate invariably regards with justifiable suspicion.
Unless you believe that future climate changes are: (a) a serious threat to your family, (b) caused by your use of fossil fuels and (c) fixed by price rises — you are going to oppose a carbon tax.
Aren't most people anxious about human-induced global warming? Well no, not really. Hundreds of polls on climate change show a core of 'very worried' (20-25%), larger layers of 'worried' and 'not worried' (both 30-40%), then a small core of 'not happening' (10-15%). But on the different question of whether climate is human-caused, the participants tend to split about 50:50. There is never a majority who are convinced that there is a real but solvable problem.
No government has been able to introduce a nation-wide ETS (energy tax) since New Zealand did so in 2008. Look what happened in Australia. And is happening now in Canada. Just last month, electoral appeal was again put to the test by referenda in Washington and Colorado – the most regulation-friendly of States. Both electorates rejected a carbon tax.
So the agitation in France stems from an unpopular, undemocratic, regressive climate policy. But that's far from the whole story. The 'silent majority' have long recognised that this policy is driven by a small Paris-bound elite of academics/bureaucrats who wield a 'green' ideology (or theology) with the aim of re-engineering the world. This arrogant coterie is uninterested in any cost-benefit for the masses, will not debate the issues, and de-platforms their critics. They rely upon flagrant scaremongering and hyperbole, implausible arguments, relentless propaganda and savage bullying of opponents.
No doubt all this would work in a totalitarian state. In a democracy, it inevitably builds resentment and outrage to the point of a boilover. Most people happily ignore the rhetoric and antics of the political classes until a week or so before an election, but they can't and won't tolerate political sabotage to their lives and families. And they hate being used as pawns by an urban elite.
Macron's plight illustrates a conundrum: How do political leaders introduce policies that will do long-term good for the environment without inflicting extra costs on voters that may damage their chances of re-election?
See other examples of real news reporting on French rage here, here and here. Macron has also issued a ban on oil and gas exploration and his approval rating now hovers around 20%.
Perhaps the main lesson from France is that politicians should not assume their electorates are stupid. In New Zealand, the recent tax increases on fuel have been comparable to those in France and people here are nursing a similar sense of injustice. The Government has picked up on this -– and has responded with a year-long enquiry into the practices of the petroleum industry! The inquiry will cost taxpayers $1.5 million.
The Prime Minister claimed that New Zealand fuel taxes were the sixth lowest in the OECD without disclosing that, next month, they will be the second highest in the OECD outside of Europe. They are the highest in the English-speaking world. They are higher than in all but two of our top 15 trading partners.
The reaction in France gives New Zealand's politicians a useful foretaste of what is to come.
"It is ironic that it was a "green" fuel tax that sparked the rioting across France. From the standpoint of the elites who manage France's international portfolio, France's climate policy has been a great success. As they see it, shrewd French diplomacy brought the world to Paris in 2015 to resolve a global problem and draft a climate accord that lays the blueprint for humanity's green future. For Mr. Macron and his associates, this is all about Making France Great Again while saving the planet. It is a glorious achievement; the French should be thrilled.
It is becoming more and more obvious that it is not starvation not microbes, not cancer but man himself who is mankind's greatest danger, because he has no adequate protection against psychic epidemics, which are infinitely more devastating in their effect that the greatest natural catastrophes.
"We have met the enemy and he is us" (Pogo the Possum agrees with Jung).
PARIS — French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe announced Tuesday that the French government would temporarily suspend the controversial carbon tax plan that triggered weeks of often violent protests around the country.
To help curb climate change, the government had proposed a slew of new carbon taxes that were slated to take effect in January 2019 and were designed to wean consumers off diesel and other polluting fuels and to favor electric cars. But the price hikes those taxes represented triggered a wave of social unrest unseen in recent years that quickly became a full-blown crisis, and President Emmanuel Macron became the latest world leader to suffer at home for imposing green taxes.
"No tax is worth putting in danger the unity of the nation," Philippe said, as he announced the suspension.
Whilst I am glad that France has backtracked on their taxes, I'm not sure it sets a great precedent to cave into rioters burning cars, however much I may have sympathy with their plight.
It seems PM Ardern also disagrees. On Monday she was all for leading the world in reducing CO2 emissions, while on Tuesday she emerged as a steely defender of low petrol prices.
The one-eyed attitude of the media to all things climate has played a major role in building the frustration of the yellow-jackets.
"The level of treason on the part of the press is astounding. I think it's at least on the level of the USA. Constant lies. Constant pointing the finger at this movement, that it's anti-Macron, possible neo-Nazi" … Some protesters have dubbed members of the media "editocrats" for perceived favours to the government.
Is Stuff staffed with editocrats?
Oh, fickle worldly mind! For why is reasonable so endlessly unseasonable?
"Editocrats"? Well, creative, yes, but I would vote for journocrats as better, since rythm stalks the letter. But never mind the sound: I do declare, that's neither here nor there—the main point is that what they say is vain, like all hot air.
"France's population has been subject to decades of relentless education/propaganda on the carbon demon. Yet faced with a choice between action on climate change and lower petrol prices, the French rioters chose lower petrol prices in a heartbeat, and their government gave in to them in a heartbeat.
737 arrested in Paris today.More than 70 arrested in Brussels.
Incredible events in France. Sheridan asks a good question about resolve but doesn't sheet the blame where it lies: the lack of evidence of a human cause. France is a good propaganda opportunity for Trump.
It's hard to know where this is going to end. We also have the crucial Brexit vote this week in the UK.
I'm currently bunkering down in a cabin in snowy Norway!


mainsail in good shape, 2 axle trailer steel w/ bearing buddies, beautiful african mahogany hull sealed w/ clear WEST & uv protected w/ 2 part polyurethane, 3ft bowsprit, deck is honduras mahogany, hull professionally built, well maintained, It is presently in need of the usual wintertime maintainence; and a couple of repair projects.
The mainsail is in good shape and the boom is a roller type.
Storm jib is in good shape.
The working jib has had the leach torn away and could be repaired to use as a #2 working jib. a larger genoa for light air would be a good addition The forestay is a roller furler.
I can include a J-22 spinaker.
We made a new lazzaret (?) hatch that is ready but needs to be gluded, etc into position.
The toe rails are ash and need to be removed, sanded, and re-finished with a clear coat.
We used Thompson I believe.
The boat has been, out of the weather since we purchased a Catalina 30.
We have routered out some of the Honduras mahogony deck strips that were sun cracked.
New ones need to be cut to fit and bedded in.
These are 2 inches wide by 1/8th" thick.
We would just rip them out of 2" thich planks.
The deck is actually the greater maintenance item than the hull as we did hard glue the pieces in so they do not always give with temperature change from the sun.
It was my intention to try bedding them in with black Dap silicon fordified adhesive.
We've discovered it to be very strong.
We used Watco deck finish and cheated a little with a ceder stain in it.
If you avoid "marine" in the name, stuff costs less!
The hull is in very good shape.
There are a few spots that need to be sanded to bare wood, coated with the clear WEST and then the entire hull coated with Interthane (or other type) of 2 part polyester.
It is amazing how one coat of this will last a season; 2 would give you a cushion.
We propably have 3 coats of the poly built up.
The hull appears to have been professionally built, possibly at Mount Desert Island by Butler and Hamblin, as the scarf joints are very long and very uniform.
The hull is 1" by 1" African mahogony strips built up by gluing one on top of the next plus verticle copper boat nails.
Being sealed up with the WEST on the outside and "glass" resin on the inside there is no water soak up needed.
We also applied glassfiber cloth below the waterline.
We never had any water get in the boat except rain through the hatch.
I can't say that the stuffing box would not now drip a little.
The layout of the hull looks much like a Tartan 26, has an alcohol stove, head ( we were using a porti-potti but we saved the holding tank type one originally installed).
Nice V berth, 2 quarter berths, and the table knocks down to be an other bed that even 2 kids could fit.
It has a steel 2 axle trailer that I put Bearing Buddies on the hubs so it can be ramp launched. 5 feet of depth is need to float it and we used a tongue extension to launch.
Mast can be hoisted with a gin pole and is fairly heavy walled for its height.
Storm jib can be set for a cutter rig.
Below the water line the bottom needs some heavy sanding and new sequence of bottom paint for your area.


Christina Applegate has a new hit show (Up All Night), a baby daughter (Sadie), and a foundation that funds breast cancer screenings for women who can't afford it (she's a BC survivor). And, as she tells us, she doesn't take her family or her health for granted.
I should have known Christina Applegate would have a cozy living room. It's a "take your shoes off" kind of place in Los Angeles, and Christina, 40, is barefoot on her couch. She's wearing cargo pants and a sweater wrap, with a gold "Sadie" necklace. As for her 14-month-old daughter, Sadie? She's napping upstairs, but Christina is on high alert for the baby monitor. "I love wake-ups," she says, smiling.
It's a rare break for the star of NBC's Up All Night, who likes to spend her downtime with Sadie and fiance Martyn LeNoble. With her dog huddled at her feet, Christina talks about what she thinks now of the breast cancer she battled four years ago and the hopeful future she sees for herself and other women, too.
Is it true that Up All Night pulls from your own life as a mom?
Silly things. The birth episode had a lot of things that happened during my birth, having to have a headband and having my competition with myself pushing.
What are your favorite ways to stay fit?
How do you eat healthy? Do you have go-to snacks?
I don't really snack so much. I meal it. I know there's the whole "You should eat five times a day," but I say eat when you're hungry. Because [that's when] your body's asking you to eat. I've been trying to keep a macrobiotic diet, but I do go off it when I feel like it during the week. Sometimes it's nice to have something that is enjoyable!
When did you start with the macrobiotic diet?
That all started when I found out I had cancer in 2008. I always ate really well anyway, so it wasn't an incredible change in my diet. But there's a certain way in which it's prepared and a certain way that you're eating that's geared toward healing.
After your breast cancer diagnosis when you were 36, you had a double mastectomy. Does that affect how you live today?
It's a scary thing that happened, and there is a lot of fear surrounding it still. Even though I'm four years out, it intensifies when you have a child. Your own health is really important. So I'm probably more—unfortunately, at this point—paranoid than I'd ever been before about when I go get my checkups and everything. I'm just scared. And I don't want to be. But that does add that kind of cloud when you have a baby. You want to make sure you're OK.
Do you still think about it daily then?
Most breast cancer survivors will tell you that we are reminded daily. When you get undressed and [looks down to her chest]... It's a daily reminder.
You founded Right Action for Women [which spreads awareness and helps fund breast cancer screening for women whose insurance doesn't cover it]. That must be so gratifying.
It feels wonderful. We just got some testimonials back today that I can't wait to put on the website [rightactionforwomen.org]. It's really, really wonderful for women who, because we were able to pay for their MRIs, found out that they had cancer early and are going to be OK. That is why I wanted to start the organization. And to bring awareness to the fact that it's not a woman-over-40s disease—not in the least.
Does it get any easier talking about it the more you do?
Sometimes it'll bring back memories. But listening to them, how scared they are, that always touches that chord again. Especially when one of the women said her doctor had told her she didn't need to get tests because she was under 40, and in that time, her cancer had spread so much. That kind of thing pisses me off about the medical community, that they're still spewing lies about who's getting this disease. So hopefully the foundation can develop more from just paying for MRIs to helping with treatments.
What's the best advice you've ever gotten on how to live well?
[Whispers] My friends don't give good advice. Just kidding! Gratitude is something that creates a great space to live from. Just saying, "I'm grateful for today; I'm grateful for the person that I am." It's incredibly healing.
Did having Sadie change how you thought about your body?
I have such respect for women who go through pregnancy multiple times. I thought it was beautiful being pregnant. The aftermath is [laughs] brutal. And then you add 40 onto it? And it makes everything harder, because there are those girls that pop them out and they're like [snaps her fingers] a size two. That's not the case for everybody.
Do you think you will have another baby?
I would love to have one more. I know I'm 40, and people are gonna say, "Hmm..." I'll probably have to harvest in the next year [laughs] to make sure we have a backup plan.
What's your ultimate night out with friends?
I would say a good truffle pasta and a nice glass of Brunello, and that would be an awesome night out. Then I'd probably fall asleep. I'm not into going to a bar or dancing or anything like that. I'd just want a nice dinner, a nice conversation, and then call it.

Yggdrasil's Newest Slot Release Takes Players on a Journey Through Time with Its Time Travel Machine
- November 26, 2018 By Oliver Young -
If you're a GVC customer, you will soon get an access to Yggdrasil's newest slot release, Time Travel Tigers. The innovative 5-reel slot that offers 25 paylines will be added to the multi-brand operator's offerings later this month, during the busiest time of the year, Christmas time. The slot was designed exclusively for GVC since they have signed an exclusive white label partnership deal.
The slot game features a unique theme and gameplay and will tell you an intriguing story about Dr Tigerstein, the scientific genius that will take you back in the past and will fly you to the future with the aid of his time travel machine.
Yggdrasil has a new slot release, Time Travel Tigers, designed exclusively for GVC.
Dr Tigerstein's Time Travel Machine
Basically, the dear doctor has invented a time machine that takes players on several unique journeys. As you may have guessed, the time travel machine is the reelset that will take you into the special features. You will be transported to the Future, Medieval Europe, Ancient Egypt, and the Prehistoric Era.
Having in mind Yggdrasil's history of successfully designing and delivering unique slot games, Time Travel Tigers features unparalleled audio and highly engaging visual settings, which adapt through the different places the game takes players to, constantly changing the emotion and the feel of the game and making the game more exciting with each spin.
Jonas Strandman, Head of Slots for Yggdrasil express his delight to have created this engaging and innovative game with GVC, as it offers a thrilling and unique take on a themed slot, where the setting is consistently and fittingly transitioning.
He added that, as always, designing highly creative games in universes of their own choosing has been tremendously fun for their development team, and the hard work put in order to create multiple worlds in one slot game has been a fascinating challenge for them. Strandman said that they're looking forward to seeing how the game will be received by GVC customers across their various brands.
The Four Different Worlds
As you start playing the game, you will notice stacked symbols. These symbols can help you fill up the entire screen with the same symbols, which in turn will bring you multiple wins.
The game's logo is the Wild in the slot, which can substitute for all regular symbols in the slot, but the Free Spin Scatter is the symbol you need in order to reach the four different worlds the game takes you to.
Landing at least 3 Scatters, you will manage to activate one of the four travel options: the Prehistoric Era, the Egyptian Era, the Middle Ages or the Future Era. Each of these worlds will reward you with 5 to 36 Free Spins, up to 20 diagonal or adjacent Wilds, and up to 5x multiplier added to your wins. With a pretty flexible betting range and a standard RTP, the game can provide you with a significant payout of $125,000.00.
Considering the fact that the game features an extremely interesting and unique theme, the maximum payout potential is 1,000x and the game is a real eye-candy with all of its visual effects and Yggdrasil's masterpiece graphics, it is expected for it to become the game software provider's next huge hit.

OSHA takes company to court over $101K in unpaid fines
What happens when a company doesn't pay OSHA fines? It ends up in federal court.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is asking a federal appeals court to make Summer and Winter Construction LLC of Concord, NH, to pay $101,550 in OSHA fines.
DOL's request states the company's "willful and repeat violations include such life-threatening violations as failure to provide adequate roof fall protection, fall protection training and a long-enough ladder for roof-top work."
The fines are from four inspections:
In 2000, OSHA cited the company for failure to provide fall protection to employees working on a roof. Fines: $10,750.
In 2006, OSHA cited the company for failing to provide head protection, provide adequately supported scaffolding and offer fall protection for employees working on a roof. Fines: $1,800.
OSHA conducted two inspections of the company's work in 2009. Violations included improper use of anchorages for fall protection, failure to secure a hoisted load above employees, a ladder with broken rungs, lack of eye protection, unsafe use of a circular saw and incorrect use of fall arrest systems. Fines: $89,000.
The attorney for the company says the 2000 fines were against Sharon and Walter Construction which went bankrupt in 2003.
However, the company argued that point previously before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) and lost. OSHA had issued repeat citations against Summer and Winter. The company appealed the categorization of the fines as repeat, saying that the previous company had gone bankrupt and that the new company was a separate entity.
Courts have used a multi-factor test from the National Labor Relations Board to determine whether a successor company must satisfy the obligations of a predecessor.
OSHRC found there were enough similarities between the two companies to support OSHA's repeat citations. The type of business (construction) was the same, and there was continuity in personnel who controlled business decisions.

As for the G8 Plus, it has a 48-megapixel main camera and night vision, stereo speakers tuned by Dolby and a 25-megapixel front camera. All three phones mentioned thus far come with a 4,000 mAh battery.
The G8 Play will be available starting today in Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Perú and will roll out in Latin America in the coming months. Motorola didn't say how much the model would cost, but it did reveal the the G8 Plus would set buyers back €269 ($300).
