Event planners are currently experimenting with technology– but if we're honest, many planners are only playing with event tech on the periphery. The application of digital innovation to the events world has the opportunity to completely transform how planners create their events and interact with their attendees. One such is example is Apple Pay.
Apple Pay propels Near Field Communication (NFC) to the forefront of the payment technology industry, and drops "contactless payment technology" into the driver's seat for...not the first time. Apple Pay is not the first digital transaction application – not nearly. Google Wallet has been around for a couple of years, and LevelUp is used by over 14,000 businesses for digital payment.
The difference is that Apple's influence, as usual, pushes an existing product into a spotlight that these other platforms couldn't provide the technology.
Apple Pay is a digital wallet that leverages NFC technology to allow immediate access to a user's banking and credit needs. Citi, Bank of America, Chase, Visa, Mastercard, American Express; the biggest names in banking and credit are integrated with Apple Pay. By merely adding their participating cards to Apple's Passbook, individuals will receive all of the rewards, benefits, and security of their cards without having to remember their expiration date or CID – the information is all stored within their phone.
The application's integration with apps is incredibly efficient for transactions. Now with the touch of the "Apple Pay" button found on partner sites, individuals can check out without entering any information – no security codes, no passwords, merely a click of a button. Imagine incorporating this into your event app for food and beverage or retail purchases. The impact on revenue could be significant, as purchases of goods increase significantly with each removed barrier to payment.
It will change the way your event attendees pay, and will, I predict, very quickly shift expectations for engagement of all aspects of an event towards NFC options. It will eliminate the need for your attendees to carry plastic cards or cash to purchase food and beverage or retail items at your event. It will eliminate security risks. It will make your attendees hungry for additional opportunities to drop what are now considered acceptable barricades (IE swiping a credit card).
The expediency provided by Apple Pay will undoubtedly drive user's to look for this type of solution in other places: event registration, speaker engagement, food and beverage selection and transportation. Watch as digital services such as Apply Pay become a core feature of events as planners leverage them to enhance the attendee experience.
The introduction of monetary transactions within mobile devices such as Apple Pay not only provides instantaneous access to purchases for users, it provides immediate access to data for planners. Join us next month when we dive into Three Near Field Communication (NFC) Trends on the Event Industry's Horizon.


I am obsessed with collecting items that display positive affirmations. From mugs to notebooks, and even buttons, I think I may have a problem!
While riding this rollercoaster that someone decided to call Life, I've noticed that sometimes its the little things that get me through the day. I know Im not alone in feeling this way, (even though I often feel like I am) and I want you to know neither are you.
Check out some of my favorite affirmations that help me in my moments of doubt. Hopefully these will cheer you up a bit too!
Because you have no other options!
Because you have to be open to it!
Because this theory has been proven!
Because these are the facts!!!

Grindadráp (od far. grind, co oznacza ławicę grindwali (rodzaj waleni z rodziny delfinowatych) i dráp, co oznacza zabijanie), lub grind – termin określający tradycyjny rodzaj wielorybnictwa na Wyspach Owczych. Co roku – zazwyczaj w lipcu i sierpniu – odbywają się tam masowe polowania na grindwale długopłetwe (Globicephala melas). Mieszkańcy zabijają wówczas dla mięsa i tłuszczu kilkaset tych waleni. Krytyka zgłaszana przez społeczność międzynarodową jest przez rząd Wysp Owczych i większość Farerów odrzucana jako ingerowanie w wewnętrzne sprawy i brak szacunku dla Wysp Owczych. Corocznie zabijanych jest w ten sposób około 400–1000 grindwali długopłetwych.

Tło historyczne
Terminem grind określa się także całe wydarzenie polegające na zlokalizowaniu i upolowaniu ławicy. Termin ten pojawił się w źródłach pisanych dopiero około 1600 roku, ale samo wielorybnictwo na Wyspach Owczych jest znacznie starsze. O wielorybnictwie oraz podziale polowań między wielorybnikami wspominał już "List owiec" (Seyðabrævið) – najstarsze pisane prawo Wysp Owczych z 1298. Polowania na grindwale było dość powszechne na terenie północnego Atlantyku, a na Wyspy Owcze najprawdopodobniej dotarło wraz z pierwszymi osadnikami – Wikingami, którzy przybyli na Wyspy Owcze około 800 roku n.e.

Historyczna praktyka organizowania grindadráp obejmowała nie tylko zabijanie grindwali, ale także szereg innych elementów. W tym system szybkiego przekazywania do sąsiednich osad informacji o zbliżającej się ławicy grindwali, koordynację działań uczestników i łodzi biorących udział w polowaniu, zaganianie zwierząt na wybrzeże, ubój, a także podział mięsa i tłuszczu między uczestników i ich rodziny, transport oraz sposoby konserwacji i przetwarzania mięsa (np. na mączkę), przyrządzanie potraw i świętowanie po udanym połowie. Współpraca przy organizowaniu i realizacji grindadráp wymagała współdziałania na większą skalę niż społeczność lokalna.

Statystyki i dokumentacja połowów sięgają 1584 roku. Za okres 1642–1708 brak danych, a statystyki po 1708 kompletne i wiarygodne. Mimo wahań w wielkości połowu między poszczególnymi latami według tych danych historycznych średni połów grindwali na Wyspach Owczych od 1709 wynosił około 800–1000 sztuk zwierząt rocznie.

Na przestrzeni XIX w. społeczeństwo Farerskie ewoluowało z niezależnego, samowystarczalnego społeczeństwa chłopskiego w społeczeństwo rybackie, które w wieku XX sukcesywnie integrowało się ze światowymi systemami gospodarczymi i komercjalizowało, uzależniając się przy okazji od dostaw produktów z zagranicy. Równocześnie jednak Farerczycy podtrzymywali niekapitalistyczne formy, jak rybołówstwo, wielorybnictwo, hodowla owiec i krów, rolnictwo, dziewiarstwo i zbiór ptasich jaj. Wśród poszczególnych elementów kształtującej się tożsamości narodowej i kulturowej (np. język farerski, tradycyjny taniec i ballady) kluczową rolę odegrał grindadráp. W relacjach podróżniczych było postrzegane jako uosobienie odwagi społeczności farerskiej i walki z przeciwnościami w walce o przetrwanie. Grindadráp było pojmowane jako forma "sportu narodowego", zyskiwało otoczkę narodowościową i było postrzegane jako element męstwa narodu. Tym samym kwestionowanie polowań na grindwale było postrzegane jako zamach na tożsamość, suwerenność i kulturę Wysp Owczych.

Tradycyjny przebieg polowania
Metoda i sam przebieg polowania niewiele różni się sposobów, jakie stosowali Wikingowie. Polowanie rozpoczyna się wraz z zauważeniem przez mieszkańców stada grindwali pływających w pobliżu wysp lub w kanałach między nimi, bowiem grindadráp to typowe polowanie zbiorowe z nagonką. Mieszkaniec Wysp Owczych, który pierwszy zauważy stado podpływające do zatoki, jest zobowiązany do powiadomienia społeczności o tym fakcie. Dawne sposoby podnoszenia alarmu za pomocą flag, sygnałów dymnych i biegaczy zastąpił telefon i radio. Farerczycy przerywają swoje zajęcia. Zaalarmowani mężczyźni z danej społeczności wypływają na łodziach, by hałasem zagonić zwierzęta w kierunku małej zatoki lub przesmyku, gdzie wpływają na brzeg lub na mieliznę, z której nie mogą uciec.

Zwykle zabijane jest całe stado, bowiem grindwale charakteryzuje tak wysoki poziom więzi społecznych, że nie potrafią radzić sobie w pojedynkę. Te, które nie zostaną zabite w pierwszej fazie polowania, nie odpływają z zatoki pełnej krwi, ale pływają w niej, usiłując towarzyszyć członkom stada. Po grindadráp z 27 sierpnia 2019, które odbyło się w zatoczce koło miasta Vestmanna, 4 ocalałe grindwale pływały w wodzie zatoki przez półtorej godziny po zabiciu pozostałych członków ich stada. Sam proces zabijania stada, w którym było 98 zwierząt, trwał 12 minut, a całe polowanie trwało 5 godzin.

W pierwszej fazie polowania zabijana jest przywódczyni, a pozostałe zwierzęta są zaganiane motorówkami na mieliznę. Komunikacja między członkami stada utrudniana jest przez członków polowania poprzez generowanie hałasu: uderzanie drewnianymi kijami w wodę oraz uderzanie o burty łodzi.

Grindwale, które nie docierają do płycizny, są przez myśliwych wyciągane za pomocą lin przymocowanych do stalowych haków zakończonych metalową kulką, zahaczanych na ich otworach oddechowych. Zwierzęta są zabijane za pomocą tradycyjnych dwustronnych noży o długości 16 do 19 cm. Dwa głębokie cięcia zadawane są po obu stronach szyi zwierzęcia, tuż za otworem nosowym. Wówczas głowa walenia opada do przodu i wtedy zadawany jest trzeci cios nożem przez środek szyi. Cięcie to powoduje przerwanie tętnic szyjnych i rdzenia kręgowego zwierzęcia. Zgodnie z wytycznymi ostrze ma trafić w kanał rdzeniowy kręgosłupa (między czaszkę, a atlas kręgosłupa – tak, by przerwać rdzeń kręgowy, po czym musi być przesunięte w lewo i w prawo, by przeciąć naczynia krwionośne doprowadzające krew do mózgu zwierzęcia).

Przerażony grindwal nie traci świadomości, miota się, ale wraz z upływem krwi traci przytomność i jego ciało ulega paraliżowi. W końcu wykrwawia się i umiera. Wody, w których zabijane są te zwierzęta, nabierają od ich krwi czerwonego koloru. Kark i boki szyi martwego zwierzęcia są nacinane są długim nożem, by pozbyć się krwi, co ma podnieść walory konsumpcyjne mięsa. Martwe zwierzęta układane są w rzędach. Ciała ciężarnych samic są często odkładane na bok, by oprawiać je później, kiedy będzie obecnych mniej osób spoza społeczności, bowiem zabijanie ciężarnych samic rodzi ogromne kontrowersje i protesty przeciwników polowań. Polujący i ich rodziny układają ciała zwierząt na nadbrzeżu, a osobniki które przeżyły, są dobijane. Następnie nacina się brzuchy, by schłodzić tusze. Następuje pomiar zabitych grindwali, by sklasyfikować je do odpowiedniej kategorii pod względem wielkości. Na płetwie bocznej zwierzęcia wycinane jest odpowiednie oznaczenie, a na policzku numer kolejny, co pozwala na policzenie zwierząt.

Następuje podział łupów. Każdy polujący i każda rodzina mają prawo do przydziału równej porcji mięsa i tłuszczu. Zasady podziału zostały określone w starych prawach nordyckich. Fakt bezpłatnego rozdzielania mięsa wśród członków społeczności jest argumentem używanym przez zwolenników tych polowań mającym na celu uzasadnianie sensu tego rodzaju łowów. Niewykorzystane części zwierząt (głowy, płetwy) są wyrzucane bezpośrednio do morza.

Corocznie zabijanych jest w ten sposób około 400–1000 grindwali, ale w czasie grindów zabijane są także inne gatunki ssaków (w okresie 2017–2019 (do 6 lipca 2019) na Wyspach Owczych zabito 2330 grindwali długopłetwych, ale także 755 innych waleni – głównie definowców białookich). Grindadráp nie mają już uzasadnienia ekonomicznego, a są jedynie elementem tradycji. Farerzy bronią takiej tradycji jako własnego dziedzictwa kulturowego.

Krytyka polowań
Brutalne polowania na grindwale spotykają się z oburzeniem na całym świecie i wywołują protesty. Krytycy podkreślają brutalny widok i cierpienie przerażonych zwierząt. Wskazują także na fakt, iż grindadráp nie jest już uwarunkowane koniecznością zapewnienia wyżywienia ludności, bowiem standard życia na Wyspach Owczych jest porównywalny do waruków bytowych w Danii i innych krajach skandynawskich. Pod naciskiem opinii publiczej rząd Wysp Owczych przyznał, że "polowanie na wieloryby jest z natury dramatycznym i krwawym widokiem". Równocześnie jednak rząd podkreśla, że tradycyjna metoda zabijania, poprzez przecięcie rdzenia kręgowego i tętnic szyjnych, jest skuteczna i zadaje zwierzętom mniej cierpienia niż inne, alternatywne metody ich uśmiercania.

Rząd Wysp Owczych i większość mieszkańców Wysp Owczych opowiada się za zachowaniem polowań na grindwale jako elementu tradycyjnej kultury Wysp Owczych. Ich zdaniem krytyka tradycyjnych polowań ze strony społeczności międzynarodowej jest formą wtrącania się w wewnętrzne sprawy terytorium i wyrazem braku szacunku dla Wysp Owczych.

Krytyka grindadráp wiąże się także z innym aspektem. Jest nim mianowicie kwestia stosowania regulacji Wspólnej polityki rybołówstwa UE, w myśl której ryby i inne wodne zasoby żywe nie są własnością żadnego państwa, tylko wspólnoty unijnej, i w związku z tym to wspólnota ma prawo decydowania o ilości i sposobie połowu. Większość grindwali długopłetwych to stada żyjące w wodach Unii Europejskiej, a do niej nie należą Wyspy Owcze ani Islandia, ani Norwegia. Stanowisko takie jest zgodne z art. 3 Traktatu o funkcjonowaniu Unii Europejskiej, w myśl którego zarządzanie zasobami żywymi mórz jest zarezerwowane do wyłącznych kompetencji Unii Europejskiej.

W 2015 roku niemiecki operator statków rejsowych Aida ogłosił, że z powodu rzezi grindwali rezygnuje z rejsów na Wyspy Owcze.

Mapping America's Westward Population March Over 220 Years
Watch Manifest Destiny unfold from 1790 to 2010 with this interactive data viz.
In 1790, just a few years into America's independence, the country's 10 most populated cities were tightly packed into the Northeast with just one exception (Charleston, South Carolina). Fast-forward 220 years and the U.S. has manifested its destiny more evenly across the continent: just two Northeast cities make the 2010 list, accompanied by the Midwest, Texas, and West Coast. The country's mean population center has shifted toward the middle of Missouri.
Digital mapmaker Keir Clarke has tracked America's deliberate westward march in a new interactive viz he calls "Shifting Cities." Clarke—whose cartographic skills you might remember from this delightfully poisonous Yahoo! "Autocomplete Map" or this psychedelic rendering of Washington, D.C.—delivers the details at his Google Maps Mania blog:
When you select a decade from the slider control the blue markers show the location of the top ten most populated cities and the red marker shows the mean center of the population. The left hand side panel also updates to show a numbered list of the top ten cities for the selected ddecade. The small window in the top right-hand corner of the map also updates to provide more general information on the patterns of population movement being shown on the map.
Clarke used Census data (via Wikipedia) to compile each decade's top 10 list, as well as the mean center population. Via email he tells CityLab he wanted to combine two previous maps that he enjoyed: a Census animation of the mean center's slowly trek from Kent County, Maryland, to Texas County, Missouri; and a decade-by-decade animated GIF of the 10 most populated cities. "The animated gif was a little hard to read as you couldn't pause the animation," he emails. "So I decided to create my own interactive version."
We screen-grabbed a selection of years as an example. Here's the original glimpse of 1790:
Keir Clarke
Here's a look at 1860, just before the Civil War. Chicago makes its first appearance in the top 10 club, joining Midwest colleagues Cincinnati and St. Louis. With New Orleans pulling some of the population south, the mean has reached Pike County, Ohio.
Now here's a look 50 years later, in 1910. Pittsburgh and Detroit, on the respective strength of U.S. Steel and Ford Motor Company, make their top 10 debuts. No city west of St. Louis makes the list—San Francisco, on the list since 1870, fell off after the devastating 1906 earthquake—but the general population has moved enough for Monroe County, Indiana, to become the mean center.
And here's 2010, with a top 10 of New York, L.A., Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, and San Jose:
Go West at your own pace, readers.

J.J. Abrams: The Best Medicine?
By Amos Barshad
Abrams Yuks It Up: J.J. Abrams will exec-produce a half-hour medical comedy for Fox, to be written by Becker alumnus Mike Markowitz. Those are all the details we get for now. We know that despite Abrams's previous successes, the recipe for this particular project might not sound so promising. But just wait for the inevitable time-travel–fueled romantic misunderstandings, and you will be hooked. [HR]
Sweetness: Fresh off the critical drubbing and box-office underperformance of Jennifer's Body, Diablo Cody has signed on for a truly bulletproof project: She'll be adapting young-adult series Sweet Valley High for Universal. The books — centered on two twins living in fictional Sweet Valley, California, the conniving Jessica and the practical Elizabeth — had also inspired a TV show that lasted for four seasons. So this is getting made, and yet another day goes by with no one optioning the reboot rights to Sister, Sister. [HR]
Power Team: Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury will co-star in A Little Night Music, coming to the Walter Kerr Theater in December. In her Broadway debut, Zeta-Jones will play Desiree, an actress in end-of-the-century Sweden (the musical is based on Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night, of course), while Lansbury plays her mother, who is raising her daughter. There are also former lovers and counts and countesses involved. Anyway — officially the second-hottest Broadway couple after Jackman and Craig? [Variety]
Behind the Scenes: Steven Spielberg is developing a scripted program for Showtime that will depict the development of a Broadway musical, from writing songs to recruiting investors, and focus on the personal lives of some of the characters. Then, after the series is over, the musical-within-a-show will hit the Broadway stage for real. Okay, that sounds pretty cool. [Variety]
It's Already Been Broughten: Even more exciting theater news! Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt, Amanda Green, and Jeff Whitty will write the music, lyrics, and book, respectively, for Bring It On: The Musical, slotted for a 2011 premiere. The musical will veer away from the plot of the flick but will stay in the world of competitive cheerleading, much like the movie's four direct-to-DVD sequels. In other news, four direct-to-DVD sequels?! [Variety]
Souled Out: Twilight author Stephanie Meyer's The Host, her first adult novel, has been purchased by producers Nick Wechsler and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz, who apparently put up their own money; Andrew Niccol (The Truman Show, Gattaca) will write the screenplay. The book is set in the near future, where benevolent alien parasites called Souls roam the earth. One of the Souls, named the Wanderer, is connected to a dying human named Melanie Stryder in an attempt to find the last pack of surviving humans on Earth (?). Sounds good to us, as Robert Pattinson should make for one sexy parasite. [Variety]

Jerri's SANE Story: Down 29 Inches in 3 Months!
I realized that I needed to make a change in my life after gaining 20 lbs from an arm injury. The injury rendered me inactive and I just didn't feel good. I was fortunate enough to be able to quit my job and focus on healing and my health in general.
Since I joined SANE, I am feeling better, and, after measuring in 15 different locations, I have lost 29 inches! My sugar cravings are almost completely gone. I didn't think the day would ever come when I didn't want sweets. And when I do have something sweet, it's in a much smaller quantity and is very satisfying.
SANE is different from anything else that I have tried in the past in that it includes technology which I have learned to use. Also I am not struggling with the program; I am much calmer.
The advice that I would offer someone who is just starting out on their SANE journey is to go through all of the steps, consume as much information as you possibly can, and really listen to what is being said.
I have lost 34 pounds since God sent Jonathan Bailor into my life.
He has taught me so much and I am passing my knowledge about SANE on to my friends who are also fighting the battle of the bulge.
To stay SANE, I have learned to make wiser choices in the foods that I eat. I enjoy delicious green smoothies in order to ensure that I am eating enough vegetables. And I'm using erythritol in my SANE baked goods, and Chia and Flax seeds for my fats. I feel like I am finally equipped to handle my weight issue.
I have received so many compliments about my weight loss; even my husband has noticed! And my doctor is so pleased with my progress because my blood pressure has gone down. I feel so much better. Thanks to Jonathan Bailor, I am finally equipped to sanely conquer this Goliath of obesity once and for all in my life!
I've completed nearly 70 orbits on this planet, and I have struggled with my weight for most of them. Yet, in spite of my weight, I've led an fairly active life; hiking, kayaking, camping, flying airplanes, riding horses, and motorcycles: Pastimes that are more suited to an individual carrying a lot less "adipose tissue" than I do.
However about five years ago, it all got real when my doctor diagnosed me with; high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and then told me I was pre-diabetic. He put me on eight different meds, including metformin, which I'm still taking.
But I have lost weight. In fact, I've been losing the same hundred pounds over and over again since I was about 19 years-old. Unfortunately, I was never "disciplined enough" to keep the weight off for any extended period of time.
That was an eye-opener for this old guy. What had I been doing all these years? Yoyo dieting? Certainly. But it was when I learned that it wasn't how much I was eating but what, that the proverbial light went on and I started to make a significant change in my lifestyle.
That was in the spring of 2018 and since then I've lost about 25 pounds, which makes it a lot easier on my knees and ankles to hike and ride my bicycle, adding even more value to my newly found "fitness" lifestyle.
So I'm on my way, and without having to starve myself. I still want to improve my lab results, and with any luck, I'll keep my weight below 200 pounds and be able to ride horses again for the rest of my life!
After purchasing a piece of exercise equipment only to watch it sit unused in the room, I realized that I needed to try something different and chose to use the SANE approach.
My life is better since discovering SANE; I have more energy and am generally feeling better. Also, SANE eating has had a positive impact on my family's eating.
SANE is different from anything else that I have tried in the past in that although the results take longer than traditional methods, I can achieve long term results, am eating more food and exercising less.
The number one piece of advice I would give someone who is just starting on their SANE journey is to learn to love your vegetables. ~ Patricia B.
I realized that I needed to make a change in my life as I approached my 60th birthday; I wanted to stop feeling like I was 70.
Since discovering SANE, my life has improved; I sleep better, move easier, and I have a feeling of accomplishment because I have taken charge of my health.
SANE is different from anything that I have tried in the past because it is derived from Jonathan's research which is based on science. I enjoy double digit servings of vegetables and I love the "what's in your fridge" search area in the recipe section.
The number one piece of advice that I would offer to someone who is just starting on their SANE journey would be take baby steps and try not to get overwhelmed by all of the information; learn something and then try it out in your life.
I realized that I needed to make a change at the end of 2018 when I started looking more intently at making health changes and I wanted something with practical and long term results.
Three significant ways that my life is better since discovering SANE is that I have lost 6.5 pounds making my clothes fit better, I feel better about eating healthy with fewer cravings and I feel that I am successfully moving in the right direction.
SANE is different from anything else that I have tried in the past in that I can get full on veggies and I no longer feel deprived or guilty, nor do I have strong cravings.
The number one piece of advice that I would give someone who is just starting out on their SANE journey is to stick with it because it works, especially when you work it. Trust the process. ~ Sandy H.
Kathryn's SANE Story: Feeling Better and Seeing Results with SANE Nutraceuticals!
After trying different diets but continuing to gain weight, I knew something was off kilter, and that was my turning point. I did some research on SANE nutraceuticals and am so grateful that I was able to try them after getting my doctor's approval.
I feel so much better since I have been taking SANE nutraceuticals. For the first time in my life, I have been able to lose weight and keep it off rather than bouncing up and down. I feel like it has stabilized something that was missing. They are different from anything else that I have tried in that they address the root cause of the problem.
The number one piece of advice that I would give to someone who is just embarking on their SANE journey is to take their nutraceuticals regularly, as recommended. They will work for you too.
The "tipping point" that compelled me to make a change in my life came after watching Jonathan's webinar and learning his approach to weight loss; it was a different approach with different results. Before that, my weight had continued to creep up and nothing else I tried stopped it.
My life is better since discovering SANE because I have more energy and feel better knowing that I'm doing something good for my body and my health. My waist size has decreased and I am able to wear clothing that I couldn't previously fit into. And my total cholesterol is down to an all-time low!
SANE is different from anything else that I have tried in the past in that the level of support is higher than anything I have ever had. The program has provided me with a new mindset including no calorie counting. I also enjoy the emailed meal plans and the option of purchasing SANE store products.
The number one piece of advice that I would offer someone who is just beginning their SANE journey is to be open to trying something different, to take advice from coaches, and to realize that SANE is a lifelong process and not an overnight quick-fix. ~ Beverly H.
Pete's SANE Story: Enjoying Retirement with 66 Pounds Gone!
I have diabetes so I decided to make a change in my life and join SANE. Since then, I have lost 30kg!
SANE is different from other diets that I have tried because all meals include normal food. My life is better since discovering SANE because I am not dieting, I'm eating normal food, and I'm eating three meals a day plus snacks!
The number one piece of advice I would give to someone just starting out on their SANE journey is to keep trying to slowly lose weight. If you go off the rails, start again and keep trying until you reach your goal weight.

Joel Hodgson says memories of their 2011 triumph have been fuelling Newcastle Falcons' preparation for this evening's JP Morgan Premiership Sevens finals.
The fly-half, who turned 21 last week, was part of the squad which defied the odds to beat much-fancied Saracens in a see-saw final two years ago.
And despite pulling out with a back injury for tonight's event in Bath, Hodgson said: "We keep talking about 2011, and for the lads who were involved in that I don't think it will ever leave us.
"Just getting back into sevens and playing the game again brought back all of those emotions last week during our group round in Northampton, although this season it is different because we do not have a team full of senior players.
Hodgson was one of three players to be stood down on the eve of the finals, with skipper Warren Fury taking a knock in training and Richard Mayhew withdrawn due to a groin problem.
In their place come Chris Harris, who featured strongly last weekend, James Fitzpatrick, a winner in 2011, and Andrew Higgins.
"In terms of how this current team compares to 2011 they are two different scenarios with two different sets of emotions surrounding them, but both united by a sense of enjoyment and hard work," said Hodgson. "Our core principles are essentially the same, even if the personnel is different.
"Before last week's Northampton leg we looked at the videos from two years ago, and the amount of hard work and graft that went into it. From every single player the effort was just ridiculous, and even guys who came on for the last two minutes of a game threw every single bit of energy into it. They went absolutely flat out, and that sort of doggedness can be seen again in the current squad.
Expecting London clubs to feature towards the business end, he added: "I recorded both of the other tournaments, and looking at the other teams you would probably expect Harlequins and Saracens to start as the favourites. Worcester also look like a side not to be messed with this.
Handed the added carrot of a place in the World Club 7s at Twickenham next weekend should they bring home the top prize this evening, Hodgson said: "To be totally honest, the first time I heard about that was when the TV commentators mentioned it during the Saracens' leg.

52: "Being Brave & Getting Paid" with Kathlyn Hart, Financial Empowerment Coach
Money is power, but it's also a massive source of anxiety, fear, and stress for most people. For Kathlyn Hart, money (or lack thereof) was the thing that kept her from being able to have the experiences she wanted, from attending her dream college to traveling with friends in her early twenties. For many years, Kathlyn (like so many of us) felt that having a job where you could make a difference in the world meant earning little to no money and that if you wanted financial security, it mean taking a soul-sucking job that you hate. On this episode, hear how she learned to flip that perspective and create a role for herself that allows her to support ambitious women to dream big, live bold, and earn more.

51: "Falling Into Your Perfect Role" with Samara Bay, Dialect and Communication Coach
One of the top answers I get when I ask people what they wanted to be when they grew up is "Actor", and Samara Bay was no different. Growing up, Samara figured she'd end up doing Shakespeare in the park or performing on Broadway, but her career path took a different route. Sure, she now spends a lot of time in movie trailers, but not as the performer. Hear how Samara transitioned her passion for performing into a niche career training actors how to speak as a dialect and communication coach for some of the biggest names in entertainment.
50: "When Being Wonder Woman Isn't So Super" with Dana James, Nutrition Therapist & Author of 'The Archetype Diet'
Show of hands for my over-achieving, Type-A, "Wonder Women" out there who, despite doing everything "right", still carry extra weight (especially in the middle.) Yeah, me too. Turns out, being a non-stop hustler can actually be damaging to more than just the scale. Dana James has spent the past 18 years studying the complex relationship between food, metabolic issues, and emotions and believes the missing link lies in addressing both the tangible and intangible – food and feelings; science and spirituality; conscious thought and subconscious thought. She's the author of the book, "The Archetype Diet: Reclaim Your Self-Worth and Change the Shape of Your Body" which bottles these patterns into four archetypes of women. She explains why you store body fat in the places you do, what to eat, and how to crack the self-worth matrix that says my value as a woman is based on an external factor – looks, success, giving to others and being intuitive.

47: "Creating Your Own Role & Crafting the Career You Want" with Danoosh Kapadia, Business Development VP
When looking for a new job, most people hit online job boards or scour LinkedIn for posted positions. They scan the bullet points of qualifications, matching them against their own experience and ultimately deciding whether they're a close enough fit to apply. That traditional route never appealed to Danoosh Kapadia. Instead, he took advantage of internal opportunities to gain the experience he needed to make a career transition at one job, had a role created for him at another, and leveraged his network to get an "in" at more than one company he was interested in working at. Danoosh has time and time again landed roles based on following his curiosity, making connections, and bringing his A-game every time.

42: "Confessions from a Working Actor" with Alison Becker, Writer/Comedian/Actor
When asked what they want to be when they grow up, many kids quickly respond with "Actor". Most people picture the life of an actor as those of A-list celebrities, appearing in blockbuster films, rubbing elbows with their fellow rich and famous friends, and getting to play pretend for a living. In reality, it's a whole lot of auditions, rejection, pounding the pavement, and waiting for the next gig (if it ever comes.)
Writer/Comedian/Actor/Producer Alison Becker, aka "Parks and Recreation's" Shauna Malwae-Tweep as you may remember her, knows the highs and lows of Hollywood all too well. Although she's had lots of success throughout her career, Alison is transparent about the realities of being a working actor in the age of Netflix, decreasing commercials, and the unpredictability of the industry.

MEXICO CITY — Central American immigrants traveling through Mexico in a caravan that drew the attention of President Donald Trump protested in front of the U.S. Embassy on Saturday in Mexico City.
Mexico's capital was the final planned stop of the migrant caravan that left from the Mexico-Guatemala border late last month to draw attention to policies toward immigrants and refugees.
Caravan organizer Irineo Mujica said at Mexico City's Angel of Independence monument that what remains of the caravan would visit the basilica of Mexico's patron saint later Saturday and seek meetings with representatives of the United Nations and Organization of American States.
"We are looking for some reaction, some change in the policies," Mujica said.
Last Tuesday, as the caravan camped at a sports complex in southern Mexico, Trump tweeted that "The big Caravan of People from Honduras, now coming across Mexico and heading to our "Weak Laws" Border, had better be stopped before it gets there."
Mexican immigration officials visited the migrant's camp in Matias Romero over several days processing documents for those who wanted to seek residency in Mexico, apply for special humanitarian visas or simply cross Mexico and request asylum at the U.S. border.
It was not immediately clear how many remained in the caravan that once numbered more than 1,000 migrants. One of the group's security volunteers said about 150 had arrived in Mexico City with him on Friday night. Organizers said more were expected to continue arriving.
The annual "Stations of the Cross" caravan was far larger this year than ever before. Organizers blamed a disputed presidential election in Honduras and continued high levels of gang violence in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
Cesar Ortiz, a 21-year-old from La Ceiba, Honduras, said Saturday that he planned to continue north with some migrants he met in the caravan, but only as far as Tijuana, where he hoped to find work.
Mexico had deported Ortiz in March after he was caught in the northern city of Monterrey, but he quickly made his way back to Mexico because he said it was too dangerous for him to stay in Honduras.
Asked if he would eventually try to cross to the U.S., Ortiz said, "since Donald Trump is really crazy, you have to wait."


Last year, Spanish artist Rosalía achieved great success with her voice and unique sound and style. Her single Malamente became a major step in her career and paved the way for numerous awards. A few days following the release of her sophomore album El Mal Querer, Malamente became a sales phenomenon.
She has recently worked with two giants from North and South America: Pharrell Williams (content not released yet) and J. Balvin (whose song Brillo, written and performed with Rosalía, is among the best-selling songs). Now Rosalía joins other well-renowned artists to perform at Coachella, one of the biggest festivals in the world.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert.

Vimovo is used to treat the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It helps to reduce pain, swelling, redness and heat (inflammation). Vimovo contains two drugs: Naproxen (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) which helps to reduce substances in the body that cause pain and swelling and Esomeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) which reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Naproxen can damage the stomach by causing ulcers but esomeprazole helps reduce this damage. It is used in people who need to take anti-inflammatory medicine and are at risk of getting a stomach ulcer or an ulcer in the small intestine.

Today was one of those melancholy days for me. I read yet another depressing article about increasing HIV prevalence rates and my mood took a swift nosedive. I started to think of what I term as the lost generation – men and women who today would be in their productive 40s and 50s but are lost to us, victims of this scourge that continues to stalk millions.
I have to believe we will be the change that is needed, otherwise if there anything to look forward to?
I know, AIDS has destroyed a whole generation. In Zim, we are missing a whole generation of folks from their late 20s to mid-40s. They all succumbed to that dreaded disease. Tragic.
It's very tragic indeed. I really want to see the tides turn on this one. We've lost too many as it is. Grandparents who should otherwise be enjoying retirement having to care for multiple grandkids on meagre incomes, weekly funerals...I'm over it!

ResearchNews
A round-up of HK Polytechnic University SHTM Press Releases
(1) Growth or Authenticity? A Difficult Choice for Rural Tourism
Owners of small business accommodation in rural China face a difficult choice over whether to expand or retain their authenticity, according to the findings of a study by Dr Honggen Xiao of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his co-researchers. In a recently published study, the researchers aim to settle a long-standing debate over whether business expansion is beneficial or harmful to rural tourism businesses, and conclude that entrepreneurs must make a "trade-off" between "enhancing guest experience and achieving economic goals" because growth brings both advantages and disadvantages.

(2) How Far Can They Go?
Tourism marketers and hotel managers should take account of the distances people travel and offer them different packages, according to Dr Sangwon Park of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his co-researchers. In a recently published study, the researchers used information collected from TripAdvisor to evaluate how travel distance affects tourists' satisfaction with the level of hotel service at the destination. They found what they called an "inverted U-shaped" relationship, which suggests that there is an optimum point at which the distance travelled maximises the perception of service quality, after which it begins to decline.

(3) Bring them Home!
International migrants abroad offer an invaluable market for destination tourism, according to Dr Sabrina Huang, Dr Kam Hung of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a co-researcher. In a pioneering study sampling overseas Chinese in North America, the researchers recently showed that as more and more people migrate permanently abroad, they are increasingly turning to tourism as a way to retain social and emotional ties with their homelands. However, the travel behaviour of these "diaspora tourists" is as diverse as the communities they come from. The researchers suggest that understanding the tourism needs of different generations of migrants can help destination marketers to attract as many homecoming migrants as possible.

(4) A Globetrotting Generation
With globalisation and the rise of digital technology, "keeping up with the Joneses" is becoming harder than ever before. In a recently published study, MSc graduate Ms Lauren Siegel and Dr Dan Wang of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University show that for the Internet-savvy Generation Y, travel experiences shared online have replaced material goods as a form of social currency. New approaches to destination marketing are needed if tourism is to realise its potential in the information age.

(5) Softly, Softly, Anime Fans are Drawn to Japan
The popularity of anime, Japanese animated television shows and films, is motivating Hong Kong fans to visit Japan in a powerful example of cultural "soft power", argue Ph.D. graduate Dr Elizabeth Agyeiwaah, Dr Wantanee Suntikul and BSc graduate Ms Carmen Li of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in a recently published research paper. Focusing on the reaction of Generation Y anime fans from Hong Kong to the Japanese government's promotion of anime content under the "Cool Japan" initiative, the researchers provide ground-breaking evidence of how and why promoting a country's popular culture abroad can motivate inbound tourism. Their results understandably have profound implications for destination marketers and policy makers in Japan and beyond.

(6) Food for Thought for the World's Restauranteurs
Restauranteurs will for the first time have a highly accurate way to measure their financial constraints, thanks to a pioneering index recently developed by Dr Sung Gyun Mun of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his co-researcher. Although the restaurant industry is a vital driver of economic growth around the globe, restaurant firms are still subject to financial constraints that can pose a severe threat to their survival. Until now, little effort has been made to explore the financial pressure facing firms in the specific context of the restaurant industry. In their ground-breaking new study, the researchers offer restaurant managers a unique tool for measuring and mitigating these constraints, based on the financial and operational characteristics of the restaurants themselves.

(7) Making China's Hotels Great
As China and its hotel industry gain prominence on the global stage, more and more foreign investors are turning their attention to this huge and extremely promising market. Chinese hotels are in desperate need of strategies to compete with the high-quality service and facilities offered by Western hotel chains. Thanks to a pioneering study by Dr Markus Schuckert, Professor Rob Law of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and their co-authors, they now have the perfect solution. Based on painstaking analysis of a huge new dataset of TripAdvisor reviews, the researchers show Chinese hotel managers exactly how their hotels are falling short of international standards, and what they can do to close the gap.

(8) PolyU Tripartite Hospitality Programme Won McCool Breakthrough Award
The Master of Science in Global Hospitality Business (MGH) programme was selected as the McCool Breakthrough Award recipient for 2020 by the International Council of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education (I-CHRIE), the world's largest organisation of hospitality and tourism educators, for its innovative approach of this graduate degree programme. The tripartite programme is jointly offered by the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, École hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) in Switzerland and the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston (UH) in the USA.

(9) Fragrant Memories in the Making
Hotels that use scent aim to capitalise on its ability to "cue memories and conjure up emotions", according to Professor Basak Denizci Guillet, Dr Deniz Kucukusta of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a co-researcher, yet little is known about how guests respond to the diffusion of various scents throughout hotels. The researchers thus explored customers' responses to scent and how hotels can best make use of it to create positive experiences and build brand loyalty. They found that scent was indeed conducive to guest enjoyment, but only when not overused.

Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research – Special Issue
WATCH: How to teach and facilitate effectively online


Fans of Tunworth - Britain's gorgeously creamy answer to Camembert - might know the name Julie Cheyney. She founded the company that makes the gooey soft cheese with Stacey Hedges in 2004 and has now struck out on her own with a new unpasteurised cows' milk cheese called St.Jude.
Her new company, White Wood Dairy, will begin production of the Saint Marcellin-style cheese this month. "There is no other cheese like St.Jude being made from cows' milk in Britain at the moment and I aim to make her delicious. One that can be eaten at a week old, young and fresh, or a month old, more broken down, unctuous and stronger," said Cheyney.
Saint Marcellin is made in the Rhône-Alpes region of France in small wheels that are so delicate they are often packed in terracotta pots. The cheese typically has a creamy consistency and mushroomy aroma thanks to the bloomy white mould on the rind.
Cheyney's new cheese is made with unpasteurised milk sourced from local farmer Sam Martin of Wallop's Wood Farm, Droxford, who rears cows that are a cross between Holstein, Friesian, Swedish Red and Jersey breeds.
Drawing on dairy farming techniques from New Zealand, the herd grazes outdoors for as long as possible, with the cows only brought in for a few months of each year. Cheyney learned about the farm when Sam Martin's wife, Anna, attended one of her cheese courses at the School of Artisan Food.
As well as teaching at the School of Artisan Food, Cheyney has also worked as a consultant with Neal's Yard Dairy since she left Hampshire Cheeses (the company that makes Tunworth). "Throughout my transition from being one half of Hampshire Cheeses to now I have been supported by Neal's Yard Dairy. I have worked there the last two autumns in the run up to Christmas. Owen Bailey, the head affineur, has been my boss and I have learned so much about ripening," she said.
Just finished off a mature St Jude together with raisin and walnut bread and a fresh fig. Truly a magnificent combination. Delicious!

Content you want the user to see goes here.

This is a very simple code. My question is why the layer one is not clickable after layer two popup? I will think as because layer two stay on top of layer one and has blocked layer one. But why I can click the "link" to trigger the function overlay()? The layer two's visibility is hidden but it still stay on top of layer one right? The function didn't even change the z-index. I can't figure it out, why.
Another question is, now how am I able to dismiss the layer two and go back to layer one? Some simple code is appreciated.
Thank for any help!

A: Reason why you can't click underneath the overlay is because there's an underlay layer. Its background is transparent, but there all the same.
See http://jsfiddle.net/CSLD2/1/ for a better illustration.
To close the layer, simply insert a close button of some kind and have its onclick event set the layer to invisible. You may also consider using a mature overlay library of some kind, as it's been tested against unpredictable HTML conditions.

Watching films and series is one of your favourite things to do. So surely, getting subtitle free is just a question of spending enough time on Netflix? I mean, once you've binge-watched enough series, you'll have a breakthrough one day and won't need the subtitles any more. Right?
It's what we all hope for, isn't it? If you just continue doing what you love, watching series or films in English every evening, one day everything will fall into place. Everything will magically click in your brain and the subtitles will disappear.
If only real life were like the movies. You'd be the hero of your own story and solve your subtitle problem. All within the 2-hour timeframe of a feature film.
But you know from reading this blog that just listening is not enough. It's an illusion. You think you're making progress, but in reality, you're going round in circles.
Plus, you're a classic introvert. Your dream Friday night is hanging out by yourself in front of your laptop watching old episodes of Gilmore Girls.
But when you're on your own trying to understand without subtitles, you want to smash up your laptop and just read a novel instead.
You didn't catch that bit, so you rewind.
You listen again, but you still don't know what they're talking about.
You panic, but you don't want to put the subtitles on, because you have an advanced level. Subtitles are for babies. Or wimps. Not you.
And what's worse: you think you're the only one is this situation.
In your country, you're the one who's mastered English among your friends and family. They know you watch series in English. You're the English-speaker in their circle. To them, you're a linguistic genius.
They wouldn't get it if you started talking about how hard Lorelai Gilmore is to understand without subtitles. Especially after she's had a couple of coffees.
You've got no one to talk to.
When you go online looking for help, you can't find it.
No-one's talking about the subtitle struggle.
As an introvert and someone who hated group projects at school and uni (guess who ended up doing all the work?), I get it.
You want to hang out by yourself. Well, you plus the fictional characters you're watching. You want to escape into a magical world, be it Westeros, contemporary New York or Edwardian Britain.
But reality catches up with you when you realise the dialogue is impossible to catch.
So, instead of struggling on your own, why not find your tribe online, in a place where people get you.
love TV series too, but want to throw their laptop out of the window most weekends.
need the subtitles, but feel bad about it.
have a high level of English, but no-one to talk to about what they're going through.
Of course, if you want you can get rid of the subtitles yourself. But it might take you a few years. You'll give up a few times. You won't know what you're supposed to do to improve your situation. And you won't have anyone to talk to about it.
That's why I want to bring a group of subtitle freedom fighters together this October to watch a scary film or series in time for Halloween.
You won't have to do any "group work" like in high school.
The bonus is the group space to hang out in, ask questions and get support.
I'll be in there over the 4 weeks giving you extra support, answering your questions and helping you with difficult dialogue or complicated cultural references.
You'll realise that everyone struggles with the same things.
And the benefits extend beyond the course and group.
If you want to get subtitle free on your own, that's great.
If you want my support and that of a group of like-minded subtitle freedom fighters, click here to find out more and join us for Subtitle Freedom Fighters.
I've got 10 spots available and the deadline for enrollment is Friday October 13th at midnight.
See you on the other side, subtitle freedom fighter.
Cara this is so true. It's funny because just this week, I noticed my husband has gone subtitle free–He first started watching English language TV when we moved to the States in 2002, continued for 6 years while we lived there and it's practically all he watches here in France. Plus, he has a native speaker watching with him (me) some of the time (although I'm more of a book person!) So he has someone there to give cultural references or just to tell him–"No, it's not you, I don't understand it either!" That's more than 15 years (and he lived in the US and is married to an English speaker). I guess my point in all of this is, you CAN do it on your own. But it will take a long time ;). Even for me, I'd say it took about a decade to really enjoy TV and Films in French.
Hi Trisha. Oh really? I thought he didn't want to! Wow, that's an amazing story and shows just how long it can take on your own. It is a long process. I haven't had TV the whole time I've been in France, but I think I adapted pretty quickly, especially when I moved in with my partner. He insists on having the TV on in the background all the time. And he makes me watch the same silly French films all the time – the ones that are on TV every 2 weeks! It helps.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses at Leamington's Loft Theatre
Julie Godfrey as La Marquise de Merteuil and Mark Crossley as Le Vicomte de Valmont. Picture by Richard Smith Photography.
Ian Hughes 9th Jan, 2020
LES Liaisons Dangereuses will be looking to seduce audiences at Leamington's Loft Theatre.
In 18th century France before the revolution, two decadent, aristocratic ex-lovers conspire in drawing rooms and boudoirs, competing in games of seduction and revenge. Their only thought is the pursuit of pleasure, which often comes at the expense of others.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a glimpse into the lives of beautiful rich people poised to denigrate and control everyone around them, including each other.
But when one of them actually falls in love, the real betrayals unfold.
In 1782, Choderlos de Laclos' novel caused scandal across the world. Just over 200 years later, in 1985, Christopher Hampton's stage adaption opened to rave reviews at the RSC's The Other Place in Stratford before transferring to London and winning the Olivier and Evening Standard award for best play.
The Broadway production was Tony nominated and the 1988 film adaptation of the play was nominated for seven Oscars and won three.
Loft production director, Sue Moore said: "We have been desperate for some years to secure the rights for Christopher Hampton's exquisitely written play about sex and power.
"It has been said by many literary critics but it is probably the greatest stage adaptation of a novel that we have and the most skillful piece of writing."
The production runs from January 22 to February 1.
