The 2019 Asian Cup broke new ground in the United Arab Emirates with an expanded format of 24 nations. It was a change for many of Asia's notable nations to continue its storied footballing histories. At the same time, the 2019 Asian Cup offered opportunities for other emerging nations who had moderate successes at one point.
One of those emerging nations returned after debuting in China in the 2004 Asian Cup. When it first qualified, Turkmenistan did so, whereas group winners ahead of the United Arab Emirates, topping a group that also featured Syria and Jordan.
Nearly 14 years after its qualification for the 2004 Asian Cup, Turkmenistan qualified for the 2019 Asian Cup with one game to spare. That qualification seemed priceless considering where the central Asian nation was and the lulls and heartbreaks since.
Though its second run in the Asian Cup ended with three defeats in the group stage, Turkmenistan had finally broken through, and it is now hoping to continue making history.
Happy Times in 2003 and 2004
It may have played its first international match since independence from the Soviet Union in 1992. Still, it would not be until 2000 that Turkmenistan, having first participated in the 1996 Asian Cup qualifiers, won an Asian Cup qualifier, doing so against Bhutan. In 2003, Turkmenistan's ascent to the global scene was more than an understatement.
When the year ended, Turkmenistan was the third-highest climber in the FIFA rankings, behind only Bahrain and Oman.
That ascent first began when Turkmenistan's won 1-0 against the United Arab Emirates, with Vladimir Bayramov scoring his first goal for the country in over two years. Eleven days later, Vladimir's brother, Nazar Bayramov, scored his first-ever goal for Turkmenistan; despite allowing an equalizing goal, Turkmenistan left Sharjah with a 1-1 draw. In four days, Turkmenistan recorded two wins against Sri Lanka, winning at home 1-0 before a 3-0 victory in Colombo. Before facing Syria at the end of the month, Turkmenistan had also begun another qualifying tournament.
Turkmenistan's home qualifier against Afghanistan kicked off the first of 158 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian Football Conference (AFC). Turkmenistan kicked off its campaign in emphatic style, with Begençmuhammet Kulyýew and Rejepmyrat Agabaýew, each recording hat tricks during the match. When the game finished, Turkmenistan won 11-0 victory, and the result remains the nation's most massive victory to date. Four days later, Turkmenistan added a 2-0 away victory in Kabul, with Kulyýew scoring twice late in the match to secure Turkmenistan's passage to the second round.
With those World Cup qualifiers completed, Turkmenistan now turned its focus on Syria, where a point on the round would be enough for qualification to the 2004 Asian Cup. Despite allowing a goal 10 minutes, Turkmenistan equalized and got the result needed to secure passage, with Didargylyç Urazow scoring six minutes later as Turkmenistan qualified with the 1-1 draw. Five days later, Turkmenistan finished round-robin play as group winners courtesy of a 3-0 walkover victory after Syria failed to show up for the match.
When the Emeralds Stunned Saudi Arabia
From Apex to Nadir - What Happened?
Turkmenistan began the second round of 2006 World Cup qualifying with home victories over Sri Lanka and Indonesia in early 2004. Those victories saw Turkmenistan ranked 84th ahead of a June 9 trip to Jeddah to face Saudi Arabia. However, Turkmenistan lost that match 3-0, but it would not be long before both nations met again - this next match being Turkmenistan's first Asian Cup match.
Turkmenistan against Saudi Arabia looked a mismatch on paper. Saudi Arabia had played at three World Cups and reached the Asian Cup final in five straight editions, winning three times. Nevertheless, despite playing its first Asian Cup match, Turkmenistan led the game after only six minutes, thanks to a Nazar Bayramov goal. The lead was short-lived, as Yasser Al-Qahtani level three minutes later on a penalty kick. The Saudi striker added a second goal 14 minutes into the second half, and Saudi Arabia was on its way to another Asian Cup victory.
Then came Kullyew's moment of glory. Off a free kick, Kullyew shot a ball past the goalkeeper's reach, and Turkmenistan pulled of hung on and pulled off an impressive 2-2 draw. Throughout the group stage, Turkmenistan hung in bravely against Iraq and Uzbekistan, with Kullyew also leveling a match at 2-2 against Iraq. However, Turkmenistan lost both games by the odd goal in a brave first Asian Cup.
Turkmenistan's victory over Indonesia in March 2004 proved to be the last victory for over three years. Turkmenistan did not play a senior match in 2006; following a 2-1 loss in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Aug. 22, 2007, sank to its lowest ranking in its history at 173rd.
A Developing Nation Seeks
Turkmenistan began the second round of 2006 World Cup qualifying with home victories over Sri Lanka and Indonesia in early 2004. By April that same year, Turkmenistan ranked 84th in the FIFA Rankings ahead of a June 9 trip to Saudi Arabia, where Turkmenistan left Jeddah with a 3-0 defeat. Before these two teams would meet again in World Cup qualifying, both nations would meet on July 18, 2004, in Chengdu, China.
On paper, Turkmenistan's match against Saudi Arabia looked to be a mismatch. Saudi Arabia, having played at three World Cup before this match, had reached the Asian Cup final in five straight editions, winning the tournament three times. Despite playing its first Asian Cup match, Turkmenistan led the match after only six minutes, thanks to a Nazar Bayramov goal. The lead was short-lived, as Yasser Al-Qahtani level three minutes later on a penalty kick. The Saudi striker added a second goal 14 minutes into the second half, and Saudi Arabia was on its way to another Asian Cup victory.
Then came Kullyew's moment of glory. Off a free kick, Kullyew shot a ball past the goalkeeper's reach, and Turkmenistan pulled of hung on and pulled off an impressive 2-2 draw. Throughout the group stage, Turkmenistan hung in bravely against Iraq and Uzbekistan, with Kullyew also leveling a match at 2-2 against Iraq. However, Turkmenistan lost both games by the odd goal in their first Asian Cup. Turkmenistan hoped to achieve success for the next few years, but its victory over Indonesia in March 2004 proved to be the last for over three years. Turkmenistan did not play a senior match in 2006, and following a 2-1 loss in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2007, sank to its lowest ranking ever at 173rd.

The Road to Return
It had been three years since Turkmenistan's last major qualifying match: a 3-1 road loss in Jakarta, Indonesia. Turkmenistan did not participate in the inaugural 2006 AFC Challenge Cup, a tournament devoted to Asia's "emerging associations." In 2007, Turkmenistan joined several Asian nations in qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. Turkmenistan returned to winning ways, sweeping both games in its 5-1 aggregate victory over Cambodia in October 2017, before enduring a difficult task against Hong Kong. After achieving a goalless first leg, Turkmenistan made the home field count, and its 3-0 victory secured passage into the third round of qualifying.
Turkmenistan had once again reached another phase of World Cup qualifying, but this would be a sterner experience. In the end, it would be eventual World Cup participants North and South Korea, along with Jordan, that proved too much for Turkmenistan. During third round qualifying, Turkmenistan managed one goal, and its scoreless draw against North Korea was the nation's only point achieved.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was out of reach. Now, the 2011 Asian Cup was the main focus.
To reach Asia's continental tournament in 2011, Turkmenistan needed to win the AFC Challenge Cup, which offered spots for the winners in both the 2008 and 2010 editions. In 2008, Turkmenistan was one of four automatic qualifiers in the eight-team field; in its group were tournament hosts India, defending champions Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Turkmenistan looked to return to the Asian Cup. Unfortunately, despite being one of the favorites to win the tournament, Turkmenistan exited the group stage. Needing only a draw to advance to the semifinals, Turkmenistan trailed 2-0 on a brace from Baichung Bhatia after 80 minutes. Despite a late goal from Orazkmämmedow four minutes, Turkmenistan lost 2-1.
That result knocked out Turkmenistan from the tournament, and India ended up winning the championship and the automatic berth to Qatar in 2011 as India qualified for its first Asian Cup in 27 years.
Double the Pain and More Agony
After 2008, Turkmenistan needed a qualification phase to return to the Challenge Cup. The 2010 edition offered Turkmenistan another chance at reaching the 2011 Asian Cup, which it did during its qualification phase. Three games in five days in Male, Maldives saw Turkmenistan made light work of hosts Maldives, Bhutan, and the Philippines, winning all three matches by a combined 15-1.
During the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup, Turkmenistan faced North Korea twice at Sugathadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 10 days. The teams first met in group play on Feb. 17, 2010: a 1-1 draw saw Turkmenistan score first before Ryang Yong-Gi tied the match. On Feb. 27, the two teams met again in the tournament final As was the first game, Yong-Gi scored the tying goal, this time in the 75th minute. However, penalty kicks determined the outcome. Turkmenistan lost 6-5 in the penalty shootout, as its opponents reached its first Asian Cup since 1992.
Turkmenistan's schedule seldom featured friendlies, and more onus came for the Challenge Cup, especially following its elimination against Indonesia during the 2014 World Cup qualifying when Turkmenistan was so close to advancing on away goals. With the 2012 Challenge Cup held in Nepal, Turkmenistan's focus was now to qualify for the 2015 Asian Cup, contested in Australia. Turkmenistan recorded victories over Pakistan and Chinese Taipei in March 2011 to be eligible for the following year's tournament in Nepal.
During group play of the 2012 Challenge Cup, Turkmenistan topped its group ahead of Palestine on goal difference to set up a semifinal against the Philippines. Although the Philippines took the lead after 25 minutes, Turkmenistan came from behind - two goals in the second half sent Turkmenistan to a second straight final - a rematch of 2010 final with North Korea.
In Nepal's capital Kathmandu, Turkmenistan flew out of the gates with a second-minute goal. As was 2010, North Korea tied the match, and another 1-1 game loomed with possible extra time. However, Turkmenistan allowed a penalty kick, and North Korea's Jang Song-Hyok converted the penalty as North Korea denied Turkmenistan another berth at the Asian Cup once again.

Hope Finally?
Turkmenistan previously missed out on the 2014 Challenge Cup, only for the nation to qualify following a revamp of tie-breaking scenarios. Having advanced at the expense of Bangladesh, Turkmenistan was favored to win the 2014 Challenge Cup and the automatic berth to the 2015 Asian Cup. Turkmenistan began well with a 5-1 victory over Laos. Despite the success, Turkmenistan could not carry any momentum. A stunning loss to Afghanistan and another loss to the Philippines sent Turkmenistan out of the tournament.
A year after that elimination, Turkmenistan ranked at 173rd in the FIFA Rankings on June 4, 2015, near its record low from eight years earlier, as the nation began its qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup, in what was unprecedented in qualifying.
The Asian Football Conference decided to revamp its qualifying process and, in doing so, expanded the Asian Cup to include 24 nations. The Challenge Cup became defunct, and a new opportunity presented Turkmenistan a chance at reaching the tournament. When the draw took place on Apr. 10, 2015, Turkmenistan found itself in a group featuring Iran, Oman, India, and a fourth nation that is not on Asian soil.
Instead, Turkmenistan's first qualifier came on June 11, 2015, at an American territory - namely the village of Dededo, Guam. This match was also Guam's first home World Cup qualifier and its first World Cup qualifier since November 2000, when it lost to Iran and Tajikistan by a combined 35-0 over the two games. However, a lot changed in 15 years, and Turkmenistan found out during a Guam throw-in early in the match. An early misdirected ball from Turkmenistan in the 12th minute proved decisive in the game. Guam did the unthinkable and pulled off a massive upset winning 1-0.
Having suffered a shocking upset, Turkmenistan hoped to pull an upset of its own against one of Asia's heavyweights. They would eventually qualify for the 2018 World Cup two years later, as Iran traveled to Turkmenistan in what was a historic match for the Central Asian nation. This match, contested on June 16, 2015, marked the first match challenged not in Turkmenistan's capital city Ashgabat, but instead up north in Dasoguz, a town of the famous Silk Road located 10 kilometers from the border of Uzbekistan. Yet there was something peculiar about the 10000 people in attendance for this match. They were not loyal fans looking to enjoy a historic moment, but rather ordinary people mandated to attend then match.
Iran's first qualifying match for the 2018 World Cup began well quickly after only four minutes by a player of Iranian Turkmen origin. He was on Iran's squad at the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia, and Sardar Azmoun scored what would be the first of 11 goals in qualifying after some clever maneuvering ended with a shot past three Turkmen players into the left corner of the net. Yet, right before halftime, Turkmenistan managed to get possession in stoppage time, and it ended with Ruslan Mingazow one-timing his shot past goalkeeper
Mingazow's goal was his first for Turkmenistan since scoring in Kathmandu, Nepal, at the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup, and he celebrated his goal with other teammates at a corner with fans. Turkmenistan celebrated after the game as the 1-1 draw proved to be a sign of fortunes turned around.
During the rest of qualifying, Turkmenistan continued its improvement with a home win against Oman, as well as two victories against 2011 Asian Cup participants India Yet, road losses in Iran and Oman denied Turkmenistan contention for the 2018 World Cup. But, its third-place performance was good enough for a second chance at qualifying for the 2019 Asian Cup.

World Cup Journey
A Second Chance Fulfilled
With that victory, Turkmenistan ranked 128th in FIFA ahead of the January 2017 draw for the Asian Cup third round qualifiers. Turkmenistan learned it would play Bahrain, Singapore, and Chinese Taipei. While Turkmenistan last reached an Asian Cup 2004, two of its opponents had more prolonged droughts: Singapore last played in 1984 as hosts, while Chinese Taipei made its only appearance in 1968. Singapore notched a scoreless draw in Saitama, Japan, whereas Chinese Taipei needed two qualifying play-off rounds.
Two early goals in Turkmenistan's road game against Chinese Taipei got the Central Asian nation off to a winning start. The next qualifier would be Turkmenistan's most important test, but the meeting in Dasoguz in June 2017 saw Turkmenistan lose 2-1 to Bahrain. Another loss seemed imminent with Turkmenistan trailing Singapore 1-0 until Turkmenistan secured a vital point on the road. Then, against the same opponents at home, Turkmenistan secured another victory in Ashgabat, winning 2-1. Then with control of its destiny, Turkmenistan led 2-0 to Chinese Taipei, having dispatched Bahrain thanks to two stoppage-time goals.

Tough Lessons Learned as Optimism Abounds
After 14 years, Turkmenistan qualified for the Asian Cup with one game to spare. However, Turkmenistan lost 4-0 to Bahrain on Mar. 27, 2018, and it advanced to the tournament despite a negative goal differential. Following that defeat, Turkmenistan played only one friendly before the competition - a 2-0 victory over against in which Arslanmyrat Amanow and Ahmet Atayew each scoring a goal on Dec. 25, 2018, in Antalya, Turkey. When Turkmenistan announced its squad ahead of the first game, Amanow (Uzbekistan's FK Bukhovo) and Atayew (Indonesia's Persela Lamongan) were two of only four players on Turkmenistan's squads who played abroad. The majority of Turkmenistan's players came from Altyn Asyr and Ahal FC - the latter, which included the captain Annadurdyýew, who scored three goals during qualifying and another goal in Turkmenistan's third game against Oman.
Despite playing a problematic opening game, Turkmenistan fought valiantly against Japan and even managed to take a shock opening lead against Japan courtesy of Amanow's long-range shot 27 minutes into the game. Thoughts of a similar outcome from Turkmenistan's opening game in 2004 seemed possible as the nation nearly doubled its lead. However, Japan scored three goals in 15 minutes, and that would be a significant turning point for Turkmenistan.
Turkmenistan followed that 3-2 defeat four days later with another loss in a central Asian derby - 4-0 to Uzbekistan, where its opponents scored all four goals in the opening 42 minutes. Despite the two losses, Turkmenistan could reach the knockout stage against Oman in Abu Dhabi on Jan. 17, 2019. Annadurdyýew tied the match against Oman late in the first half, and the chance was there. However, two late goals from Oman confirmed Turkmenistan's elimination.
A football tournament can help reignite a national team's footballing history as never before. Turkmenistan had previously seen its highest moment of glory between 2003 and 2004. After years of being in the wilderness and without many games to show, Turkmenistan has finally returned to being one of Asia's emerging nations seeking respect. Now, Turkmenistan will aim to make history and reach the 2023 Asian Cup. After Matchday 5 of qualifying for the 2023 Asian Cup, Turkmenistan had topped its group ahead of South Korea (albeit with a game in hand), North Korea, and Lebanon.
Whatever the outcome is for this central Asian nation, Turkmenistan has put the agony of defeat behind them and has continued to shine like the emerald.

Dad invents 'The Frog' to help his son crawl
Claire Hassler
Brody Moreland, 2, zooms around using The Frog on October 15, 2019 at his home in Centralia. Brody chases his cat, opens drawers and brings items to his parents when he uses The Frog.
November 20, 2019 // Written for the Columbia Missourian by Claire Hassler
Taylor and Ally Moreland were preparing dinner one night when they glanced into their living room and realized their 1-year-old son had disappeared.
"Where's Brody?" Ally asked.
"I don't know," her husband replied.
They looked in the living room; Brody wasn't there. After calling for him a few times, they eventually found him in a bedroom down the hall.
Most parents would be terrified to have their baby go missing, but the Morelands were overjoyed.
Born with spina bifida, Brody is paralyzed from the rib cage down. He had spent the first 12 months of his life lying wherever someone put him down. Now he was mobile.
Brody Moreland, 2, reaches for his toys while in his Go Bro, a wheelchair his parents designed for him, on October 15, 2019 at his home in Centralia. Brody uses a larger wheelchair when he is outside his home, but the Go Bro is perfect for reaching and playing with his toys around the house.
For the first time, he had moved on his own from one room to another, just like any other kid.
"It was the craziest moment, and I will never forget it," Taylor Moreland said. "It's amazing. He's getting into trouble and running away from us."
Taylor Moreland adjusts the straps of The Frog for his son Brody, 2, on October 15, 2019 at their home in Centralia. Taylor designed The Frog so Brody, who has spina bifida and is paralyzed from the ribcage down, could move around independently.
The Frog
A device called "The Frog" made all the difference. Brody's parents designed it for their son when they couldn't find any contraption that would allow him to crawl and interact with his surroundings the way most toddlers do.
Both a cart and a wheelbarrow, The Frog puts Brody's lower half on wheels and enables him to use his arms to pull himself around, as if he were crawling.
As a baby with spina bifida, Brody "spent a lot of time on the floor on his belly," his father said. The baby could move a bit from side to side and play with toys in front of him, but anything out of his reach was off limits.
His condition is caused by a disconnect between the spinal cord and the human muscle system, keeping the muscles from being able to "fire" on their own.
It's relatively rare — 1,600 babies of the nearly 4 million born in the U.S. annually have spina bifida, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Brody's condition is extremely rare because he has a combination of spina bifida and spinal cord atrophy, which means an area of his spinal cord is much thinner than it should be.
From left, Gerti Motavalli, MacKenzie Diestler and Ally Moreland remove electrical stimulation pads from Brody's legs on November 14, 2019 at Motavalli's home and private practice in Columbia. E-stim sends electrical pulses, which Brody does not feel, through Brody's muscles to keep them strong and prevent atrophy. Brody does e-stim every day at home as part of his physical therapy.
A tinkerer with power tools at his disposal, Taylor Moreland was determined to build a device so his son could move.
His first effort was just a board with a rolling pin attached to the back and two caster wheels on the front.
"It did not work at all," Moreland said with a laugh.
The next experiment became the model for The Frog. In August 2018, Moreland combined leftover hardwood flooring with two wheels from one of Brody's old toys. The green plastic wheels propped the wooden cart off the ground. Fabrifoam bandages served as Brody's chest strap.
The Morelands took this model to Brody's physical therapist, Gerti Motavalli, figuring she'd have good input. The three had always taken a collaborative approach to Brody's care.
"I just knew that he had something very special there," Motavalli recalled.
Their device is different from others on the market because it allows a crawling child to rest his head. Motavalli has also noticed the physical benefits of The Frog in helping to strengthen Brody's upper body, improve his posture and engage different muscles than those he uses to sit upright.
It took a few weeks, however, for Brody to master the piece of equipment. To motivate him, the Morelands used blueberries as an enticement.
Brody's mother would sit on the floor with a blueberry a few feet away from him. He'd scoot toward her and eat his tasty snack, then head to the next mission — perhaps reaching his dad across the room.
Gerti Motavalli holds Brody Moreland, 2, as he shoots a ball in a basket at physical therapy on November 14, 2019 at Motavalli's home and private practice in Columbia. Brody sees Motavalli two or three times every week. Ally Moreland, Brody's mom, said Motavalli has become like family.
It has been a resounding success, Motavalli said. When Brody uses The Frog, "he has this bright grin on his face," she said.
Beyond Brody
What began as an effort to help their son has evolved into the Frog Mobility Project.
The Morelands wanted to share The Frog so other kids with spina bifida could move the way their son does. They didn't want to charge for it because parents with disabled children already spend so much money on therapy and equipment.
Since the first model was invented a year ago, the Morelands have refined their craft. They have a workshop in the office of their agriculture business, Moreland Seed & Soil, about a mile outside Centralia.
Surrounded by farmland, the 20-by-30-foot room inside the office has become the headquarters for Frog Mobility.
Since that first model, the Morelands have built and given away more than 150 Frogs to kids who need them in at least seven countries.
The manufacturing process has also been streamlined. When all of the Frog pieces were cut by hand, the device took six hours to build. Now, with a computer-controlled router, it takes only three.
A robot arm cuts shapes from a half-inch sheet of red PVC plastic as easily as if it were a hand moving through water. Then, once the plastic pieces are cut, the device is assembled by hand, still an intricate, time-consuming job.
As an agriculture business owner, Moreland had to teach himself to work with plastic forming, relying on YouTube videos and pointers from a machine shop in town.
When he reached the limit of time he could devote to design lessons, he contacted the MU College of Engineering to find students interested in the project and now has one making 3D images for him.
In January, the Morelands introduced a GoFundMe page, hoping to send Frogs to a few families who needed them. Their page received slow but steady donations until $25,000 was pledged.
At that point, local news outlets were interested, the national media picked up the story and it spread like wildfire. Both "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight" aired short clips about the project in June, which prompted another $50,000 in donations in less than 30 minutes.
"Orders just started rolling in. Emails started rolling in," Taylor Moreland said.
"It was really overwhelming and quite humbling," his wife added.
Brody Moreland, 2, plays peek-a-boo while his dad, Taylor Moreland, puts on his brace on October 15, 2019 at their home in Centralia. Brody's "dinosaur suit," as his parents call it, is a full-body brace that helps Brody stand. He stands for two hours every day as part of his physical therapy to keep his hips in their sockets.
Arisa Midgett, who lives two hours from Chicago, was one of the first to get a Frog. She ordered it in April for her son Max, who also has spina bifida.
Midgett said her son, 20 months, figured out how to use his Frog within a week and could cruise around the house after a month or two. He uses it to follow around his brothers, Xander, 8, and Axton, 3.
"The Frog is really nice that he can still do his little army crawl, but his legs stay out of the way," Midgett said.
The Morelands rely on friends and family to keep up with the ever-growing demand for the Frogs. At one point, they were 70 orders behind when Ally's brother gathered the entire extended family for a weekend in July.
Everyone worked in assembly-line fashion to catch up with the orders.
"It's exhausting, but you can get a lot of frogs made," Ally Moreland said.
After Brody began using the new device, Ally said his cognitive development "exploded." He learned new words and become more social and outgoing.
"It kind of helped him create his own little personality because of his independence," his mother said.
Tracy Stroud, a developmental pediatrician at MU who has never met the Morelands but has heard about The Frog, said children experience physical and cognitive benefits when they start to crawl.
"You have to be able to access your environment and develop skills by being able to see things from various perspectives and distances," Stroud said.
From a cognitive standpoint, Stroud said early mobility develops a child's visual-spatial skills, which allows a person to understand space, measure distance and navigate their environment.
In Brody's case, Stroud said adding access with The Frog gives him opportunities for social development, creativity and exploring his environment.
Now a lively 2-year-old, Brody zooms around his house on The Frog like a pro. His tiny fists reach out in front to touch the floor and propel him forward.
Sometimes he alternates hands, or he'll hold a sippy cup of milk in one hand while his other does all the work. But most of the time, he uses both hands to achieve optimum speed.
He can race around the island in his kitchen, chase his cat, Jill, around the house and duck under a bedsheet fort in his living room. Motavalli said the older Brody gets, the less he will use The Frog. She predicts when he is turns 5, he will want to be upright in a wheelchair.
Brody's parents are ready for that, too. They've built other devices to make Brody's world more adaptive and playful, including The Giraffe, a child-sized table with a circular hole in the middle. Wearing a full-body brace, Brody can stand on a lazy Susan inside the hole and spin himself around.
Brody Moreland, 2, and his dad, Taylor Moreland sing a song while Taylor holds Brody's baby brother, Brett, 1-month, on October 15, 2019 at their home in Centralia. The box Brody is standing in allows him to be at table height, so he usually eats his meals while standing as part of his physical therapy.
They've also built the GoBro, a mini wheelchair low to the ground so Brody can reach his toys on the floor. The GoBro has a built-in toilet, important for kids who follow strict bowel programs. Routines are necessary when someone is paralyzed at the waist because they don't feel bathroom cues.
"People who don't live this life don't really understand that or what freedom it brings you, but it's really amazing for us," Brody's mother said. "It makes life a lot easier."
According to Motavalli, building devices for Brody is just one example of the family's hard work and dedication.
"They are some of the most amazing people I've worked with in 30 years, just so dedicated and so detailed, so smart," Motavalli said.
In fact, this year, Moreland is one of three recipients of the Patient Innovation Award, sponsored by Patient Innovation, which recognizes innovative medical solutions.
Motavalli will accept the award in Paris in early December on Moreland's behalf because the family is busy with Brody's newborn brother, Brett.

Spring Festival has always been a must-have business "Golden Week", this period from the initial preparation warm-up to the Spring Festival holiday and even the Lantern Festival. In this traditional means of reunion days, each has released a big move, the dissemination of the effect is also geometrically enlarged with the festival.
On the one hand, the Spring Festival comes with hot spots, all people enter the holidays, more leisure time allows users to raise awareness of various activities; the other hand, family reunification, different age groups of users interact again makes the Spring Festival has become One of the best ways to sink Internet product channels, with the help of the Spring Festival, Internet companies can push products to a wider audience.
Spring Festival for a business, in fact, a deeper meaning. In fact, after a busy year, it is necessary to stop the pace of the past year backtracking. What many enterprises achieved in the past year often shows to the public at this time. For example, just past the Spring Festival Evening, Baidu will drive its own unmanned aerial vehicle onto the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and showcased its technology in the face of global concern to constantly remind everyone of the unmanned progress achieved by Baidu in the past year .
As the end of the year-end and New Year's beginnings, the Spring Festival is the starting point for the planning of the development plan for the coming year. Enterprises will display the most important products or strategies to the public in the coming year in order to gain more attention. For example, in addition to Alipay Fukuyama continue to pay on the red envelope, Taobao has just launched the affection account also played an important role in the Spring Festival Red envelopes, and this clearly revealed Ali's plan for the coming year, I hope consumers to family units Taobao using mobile phones, which will be e-commerce and new retail to a greater impact.
New Year's Eve, the meaning of the Spring Festival is here. This shows that the Internet giants attach importance to the Spring Festival, but also expressed their expectations for the coming year, the overall competitive Internet has opened a new scene.
Spring Festival marketing giant is still the protagonist, but the layout behind each have their own focus.
Spring Festival this year, BAT + TMD has become the protagonist of no doubt, whether it is unmanned debut the evening of Baidu, or the third consecutive year as the Spring Festival Evening Standard King, or even rockets sent off under the WeChat online send blessings, which are reflected Out of the Internet companies on the Spring Festival marketing attention. But specifically, the major Internet giants are different again.
February 13 afternoon news, Baidu official released a group of New Year pictures, Li Yanhong and her daughter Brenda frame, two people dressed in red, full of flavor. Highlights video revealed that in addition to this group of New Year pictures, Li also with her daughter shot a Lunar New Year video, will be released on the New Year's Eve, but one of the most important keywords is: the new Baidu.
The new meaning of a lot of new Baidu, which means behind that Baidu is no longer just a search engine company, the flow of information will become a new growth point of Baidu; also indicates that today's Baidu has gone through the accumulation of AI technology stage, DuerOS and Apollo two platforms led by the formation of a new AI ecosystem. Of course, the more important point is that the new upgrade of Baidu's business model is to use artificial intelligence to match the demand and supply so as to make the online service experience far beyond offline.
Baidu Apollo unmanned vehicle fleet opened in Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge this spring and evening, it is a new interpretation of the best of Baidu. When Baidu Apollo unmanned vehicles led more than a hundred vehicles around the bridge in Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge, no one driving position, the steering wheel rotation screen appears on the television, I believe even those who know nothing about driverless pride Feel spontaneously!
Unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned boats as China's artificial intelligence, industrial manufacturing representatives, known as the 7th wonder of the modern world, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to show the world the wisdom of China's power. Although spring and night in recent years there will be links to display scientific and technological achievements, but this year it is rare to take the lead in the global focus of science and technology "show muscle".
Autopilot and many robotic products debut let more ordinary people realize the value and significance of artificial intelligence, Baidu Apollo do not spend a penny, just rely on scientific and technological strength can make the people in the "robin on the ring" after, Once again familiar with the UAV, which also became a hot spring in the entire Spring Festival a clean stream.
Although Alipay set Faka red envelopes controversial over the past few years, the red envelope on the social relations of the drive has not achieved the desired results, but in the micro-channel and on-line payment to start the most intense competition in the moment, the Spring Festival Red envelopes have become Alipay Can not be lost battlefield.
In the strong grab the 2018 Spring Festival Evening main sponsor, Ali grabbed the Spring Festival Evening for the third consecutive year "Standard King", and with the CCTV as Spring Festival Gala organizers reached a strategic partnership, and mobile Taobao also this Spring Festival has become the protagonist, permeability is less than half of the national Taobao, apparently hope to have a more accessible channel to reach more users.
Since 2016, Ma proposed "new retail" before and after this concept, Ali began a series of offline retail equity investment actions: Suning cloud business stake, cultivate Sanjiang shopping and other projects. In 2017, Ali has also heavily invested in Intime, Lianhua Supermarket, Xinhuadu, and Gaoxin Retail, and will also export Box Xian Fresh Operation System as a new retail solution to the traditional retail industry.
Ali now has a retail version of the e-commerce, technology, logistics, supermarkets. According to Alibaba Cloud CEO Hu Xiaoming, Taobao, Lynx, rookie, Ali cloud, Ali mother, box horse freshman has integrated a complete new retail Ali ring.
With the end of the era of mobile Internet staking, Ali is also seeking new growth points, the trophy has become the theme of Ali over the past year, "New Retail" even more fire across the river north and south, so this Ali It is not surprising that the focus of the Spring Festival's publicity is on the hands of paying and serving as an important vehicle for new retail.
Last year Zhang Xiaolong announced no longer participate in the Spring Festival after the red envelopes war, QQ has been taking on the main position of Tencent in this red enveloped war, this time it is the main concept of health "lucky red envelope" hope to get more attention, QQ to walk this kind of exercise as a trigger mechanism for the rights of red envelopes to encourage friends and relatives to move a lot during the Spring Festival.
Although this year's WeChat claimed that it did not join the Red envelopes, it launched a "Shake" campaign during the Spring Festival. Together with more than 100 brands, more than 60,000 merchants launched WeChat to shake the red envelopes. Users can not only grab red envelopes online and friends and family, offline can also be WeChat New Year red envelopes in various consumer scenarios, while compared to the then "Pearl of Attack" is now Tencent apparently want to return to the line.
As we all know, Tencent's core strength lies in social networking. After Tencent became an oligarch in the Chinese game and social media market, there is not much potential for both games and advertising to be tapped. However, the e-commerce market Tencent has always wanted to deploy There is great potential. So Tencent layout of the new retail is largely in order to seek new ways of realization of the game and advertising.
However, social start-up Tencent, due to innate lack of "retail gene", can not be short-term through "self-built" rapid completion of territory expansion, "empowerment + investment" became the main play Tencent, The core of Tencent's new retail strategy is to strengthen the linkage between social platforms and offline retail. So whether it is Jingdong, Yonghui, or Carrefour in January this year, Hailan home investment, Tencent have followed the "high-quality flow for high-quality equity" strategy.
Of course, Tencent also has the weapon to determine the outcome, that is, the use of small programs to integrate all business resources to counter Ali's new retail. Small programs can give Tencent Ali new retail dispute variables, largely based on social relations "fission-based communication", which will bring huge traffic bonus business. With the increasing number of small businesses, the small number of e-commerce can also achieve the integration of online and offline, small program e-commerce will be able to rebuild a Lynx and Taobao within the WeChat system.
Lucky lucky red envelope indicates that Tencent accelerate the pace of the line to go offline, and WeChat shake is to further popularize the applet scene, Tencent want to do something online has been very clear ambitions. In 2018, Tencent and Ali may have just opened the new retail wars.
After BAT, China Mobile Internet was born a new Big Three TMD (today's headlines, the US regiment and the drop). This year's Spring Festival, they are no longer just spectators, but also gradually began to become the protagonist.
As the end of the year a new player in cash red envelopes, today headlines are also frequently moves this year, on the one hand is similar to Alipay's Set Fu activities launched the zodiac of the cash red envelope activities, though slightly less creative, but also marks the move Internet upstart for the first time in the Spring Festival marketing battlefield. On the other hand, the headline is still on "Million Heroes" and hopes to use this game mode, which is suitable for many people participating offline, to attract more traffic during the Spring Festival.
The ecological content of today's headlines is based on traffic and its core is to efficiently distribute information to users through algorithms. Although headliners can produce vast amounts of content daily, headlines themselves do not generate content. And this leaves the headlines with a lack of content barriers, no social relationships, and headlines that run the risk of becoming a tool. So today's headline Spring Festival marketing activities are very clear purpose, hope that through the red envelopes and games to activate social relations chain.
During the Spring Festival because of the contradiction between supply and demand are always easy to be Tucao user drops during the Spring Festival also played a warmhearted card for the Chinese people, the Chinese New Year is a ritual flu, which is from the annual Spring Festival will be It is not hard to realize that it seems as if in the world it is hard to find another human migration campaign like the Chinese Spring Festival.
What brought behind such a big migration is the contradiction between supply and demand of urban services. Most of wandering tourists will choose to return to their hometown at this time, regardless of the level of jobs, work and income, Theme of. When the crowds receded, the urban service industry that would otherwise have to be bigger than the original one would have been more prone to conflict.
Therefore, the drops of hope to rely on the warmth of the micro-movie to arouse the user's respect for the Spring Festival is still working in the field of drip drivers. Didi also voted 1 billion yuan should be difficult to hit the Spring Festival taxi, this move is not as attractive as red envelopes, but it is indeed a real solution to a great deal of practical problems.
Of course, for the Chinese New Year, ultimately, eat and eat, the United States Mission is not in the absence of marketing, homeopathic introduced the annual map and related marketing, the user recommended around the year gourmet cuisine. Apart from eating, the U.S. delegation covering eating, drinking, eating and drinking are still exploring its borders. From tourism products to the travel platform, it seems that the operation of the new mission of the United States Mission has not stopped due to the arrival of the Spring Festival.
In January last year, the United States Mission announced the formation of a troika with catering, wine tours and comprehensive services (local lifestyle services other than catering) in the form of internal letters. After the three major businesses were confirmed, the groping around the United States Mission basically revolves around three Big business started. In fact, the US delegation continued to try new business reviews, online travel, online shopping, sharing rechargeable treasure, fresh electricity providers, but life-related services have become its attempt to enter the field.
2018 US delegation, is usher in a turning point in the year, how to break through its own boundaries will be Wang Xing next biggest challenge.
Welcome to the old and new, the Spring Festival also became a new battlefield of the arms race.
The previous Spring Festival, the major Internet giants are between the red envelopes, Zheng Chun night advertising superstars, by the flow of stars with heat, but this year's Spring Festival seems that they began to pay more attention to the future pattern. Both BAT and the emerging power of mobile Internet age TMD, are in different forms of marketing muscle show in the Spring Festival, or hug users, the amount of advertising may also be able to see the market itself is expected for the development of the new year.
In the past year, the Internet has become more and more permeated with daily life. Sharing the new things like cycling, unmanned convenience stores, new retail and even old-fashioned take-away are quickly changing people's lives. In 2018, the Internet will undoubtedly usher in a new atmosphere.
The new retail wars that Tencent and Ali have extended from online to offline have also taken shape with their layout. The centralization group of Ali and Tencent's decentralized alliance will be able to transform retail offline. Baidu will continue to accelerate the layout in the field of artificial intelligence, led by Lu Qi and Robin Li, the new Baidu will show us what kind of new weather? As for whether TMD can break through the existing information distribution, mobile travel and local living services boundaries, and among the billion-dollar valuation giants will also have a preliminary answer.
It now appears that obviously everyone is looking forward to 2018.

You've probably heard of SEO if you already own a website or have done business on the Internet. For those who have not heard of it, here's a brief explanation.
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is the process of improving the organic search engine rankings for a website. The purpose of improving your search engine rankings would be to increase traffic to your site. SEO is defined as a process because it's an on-going project. Even if you are ranking #1 for one or 2 keywords you've been targeting, there are plenty of others you can optimize for. Your job is really never done as long as there is room for growth and improvement.
SEO is also the job title given to an individual who specializes in SEO. So, SEO can either refer to Search Engine Optimization or Search Engine Optimizer.
On-site: making changes to the on-site content, features and structure of a website to improve its visibility in the search engines.
Off-site: increasing the strength and popularity of a website through external methods, such as link building or social media.
Since the 1990s, search engines have continued to fine-tune their algorithm to reduce spam and improve search engine results. According to Google, they use over 200 signals in their search engine ranking algorithm.
Generally speaking, an algorithm is a formula used to calculate or solve a math problem. In math, algorithms do not change. However, in the case of search engines, changes occur frequently as engineers find new improvements to the algorithm. The whole purpose of search engine algorithms is to provide the best search results for users. As you can imagine, search engine algorithms are very complex. You are essentially asking a computer to do the task of a human.

Here's a two-part story I did for Roadrunner Travel magazine highlighting the backroads and byways of Northern California. They are as yet unpublished, but Part 1 should be hitting the shelves in the next few weeks.
Once a year, freedom rings louder than normal and people are free to blow stuff up, party all night, and praise Old Glory with all their might—often all at the same time – to celebate the anniversary of the birth of our nation, July4th. This year, I praised our nation in my own way, with a tour through a few of Northern California's counties, each with their own ideas of independence. From gold miners to Native Americans, rural to urban, fact to fiction, the Golden State is the living definition of freedom.


The Presidents' Climate Commitment, now known as the Climate Leadership Network, is a document signed by the President of a university, committing the institution to taking action on climate change through a goal of carbon-neutrality.
In November 2014, President Mary Ellen Mazey approved the final draft of the Climate Action Plan to begin its implementation. It will be updated Spring 2017.
In February 2015, the Student Green Initiatives Fund & the Division of Finance & Administration partnered to commission a comprehensive, campus-wide study of our university's infrastructure to determine the best opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint & ultimately achieve carbon neutrality.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as Carbon Dioxide & Methane, are emitted into our atmosphere as a result of most human processes. BGSU is carefully keeping track of these emissions, so we are able to accurately reduce them to zero by 2040.

Ukraine"s interior minister among 16 dead in helicopter crash
Sixteen people including Ukraine's interior minister and other senior officials were killed on Wednesday when a helicopter crashed in a suburb outside Kyiv, the national police chief said.
The helicopter came down near a nursery in the town of Brovary on the capital's eastern outskirts. Two children were among the dead and 10 were in hospital, officials said
Officials gave no immediate account of the cause of the crash and there was no immediate comment from Russia, which invaded Ukraine last February.
Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky, responsible for the police and security inside Ukraine, would be the most senior Ukrainian official to die since the war began.
National police chief Ihor Klymenko said Monastyrsky had been killed along with his deputy and other senior ministry officials.
"There were children and…staff in the nursery at the time of this tragedy. Everyone has now been evacuated. There are casualties," Kyiv region governor Oleksiy Kuleba wrote on Telegram.
Reuters journalists at the scene saw several dead bodies draped in foil blankets in a courtyard near the building damaged by the crash.
Videos shared on social media showed a burning building and people could be heard screaming. Reuters was unable immediately to verify the footage.
"We are finding out information about casualties and the circumstances," the deputy head of Ukraine's presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, wrote on Telegram.

Cuyahoga Falls Council member Colavecchio resigning; spouse has accepted community development post
By PHIL KEREN Reporter
Feb 11, 2019 at 9:58 AM Feb 11, 2019 at 2:12 PM
CUYAHOGA FALLS — A City Council member is stepping down from his position this week because his spouse has accepted a city cabinet position.
Council member Paul Colavecchio (D-At Large) last Wednesday submitted a letter to Council Clerk Dana Capriulo stating he would be resigning from his seat on Friday, Feb. 15.
Colavecchio's wife, Diana, told the Falls News-Press on Monday that she is "beyond excited to confirm that I have accepted the position to be the [city's] new community development director."
Paul Colavecchio added it would be an "obvious conflict of interest" for him to continue serving on council if his wife is confirmed as the community development director.
"I decided to step down for the betterment of the city," said Paul Colavecchio.
Mayor Don Walters said "if all goes as planned," he will ask council to confirm Diana Colavecchio as the city's new community development director on Feb. 25.
"If confirmed, she will start with the city the same week," said Walters.
If confirmed by council, Diana Colavecchio would replace Diane Sheridan, who stepped down from the position in early January.
Diana Colavecchio is currently the Clerk of Courts for the Stow Municipal Court.
"I'll be sad to leave my post here at the Clerk's Office and saying goodbye to my staff will not be easy," she said.
The precinct committee members for the Summit County Democratic Party's Central Committee in Cuyahoga Falls will be tasked with appointing Paul Colavecchio's replacement on City Council. They will have 30 days from Feb. 15 to make the selection, according to the city's charter.

Home Global Game Rest of the World CSA President Montagliani "pleasantly surprised" by FIFA reform discussions
CSA President Montagliani "pleasantly surprised" by FIFA reform discussions
When Canadian Soccer Association President Victor Montagliani was tabbed to a part of FIFA's 13-member reform committee, he was skeptical.
"I had some reservations in terms of whether FIFA was really serious about change," he said Tuesday.
But Montagliani said he's been "pleasantly surprised" by the process, so far.
FIFA instigated a reform process in the wake of a series of arrests of top-ranking officials on fraud and racketeering charges. The Swiss-American investigation is still ongoing. Allegations swirl around vote-fixing and vote-buying schemes over the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. And FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke has been suspended over allegations over his role in a ticketing scandal.
In May, the Canadian Soccer Association decided not to back FIFA President Sepp Blatter in the organization's election, putting its vote behind challenger Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein (CLICK HERE), who pulled out of the race after the first round of voting.
But, soon afterward, Blatter announced he would step down and that a reform process would be initiated. The reform committee is headed by Switzerland's Francois Carrard, who was the director general of the International Olympic Committee from 1989-2003.
Montagliani is one of the 12 other members of the committee.
So far, they've had one meeting to discuss reform proposals, and will meet again Oct. 16 in Switzerland. Montagliani said he's expecting that the group will meet two or three more times before coming up with a draft of reform proposals that will go to all 209 member federations.
The proposals will be part of the agenda for the Feb. 26, 2016 FIFA Congress; which is also the day Blatter's successor is scheduled to be elected.
But, by FIFA rules, the 209 member associations need 60 days to mull over the documents. So Montagliani said that the reform proposals will need to be in the associations' hands by Christmas. That gives the reform committee a very tight timeline in which to work.
Montagliani said that the committee has a good balance of "football people" and "independents," and they have been working well together. But he can't get into the specifics of what's being discussed at the reform committee level.
"I think we have found a balance. In football, success is all about finding balance, whether its on the field or off the field."

Marx professor goes on and on about how many amazing insights and topics Marx wrote about, says it's endless. Feel like that about Logic music software even though we've been together more than 20 years there is still an endless amount of other rooms in the house I am yet to enter. Some of the most fun has been teaching 20 yr olds at Centennial College. They hand in assignments done on Logic and it demonstrates their relationship with trying to find their way on this same platform. Many used simplest short cuts, dragged and dropped loops, simulated instruments. Occasionally someone mapped out something I couldn't figure out. That was the best. How did they do that? How does their mind work? How might I try that with my work?
Producing a former student, she was trying to do something with Logic and was frustrated. Offered to set it up. After each thing I did she was amazed – how did you do that? 6 or 7 times in a row. No idea about the shortcuts I use even though one of their mandatory courses supposedly taught them how to quickly get around. Makes me think my songwriter brain might teach stuff like this differently, maybe uniquely. Never met whoever is in charge, maybe the fault is not theirs but sure saw a lot of students who didn't seem to know how to navigate this under $150 superpower, which they own, that gives them simulated Pultecs, Fender Twins, Ludwig kits, 87 mics, room sounds, Mini Moogs, Leslie's, pitch correction, timing correction and echo.
Marx professor smiles politely when I say I know what he means but I really do.


Fast paced environment. Great company to work for. I could go on and on about how good the management is in Nashville. Easy to work with, I can't say enough good about this company.
Fun company to work for. The best boss I've ever had. I could go on and on about how great this company is to work for. Great pay and great support. Amazing work environment.
JARS TD is one of the best jobs I have ever had. The work environment is built on teamwork and dedication. This is a very fast-paced job but is still enjoyable. Manager is easy to talk to and cares about his employees.
I have been a part of the JARS team since day one with Amazon. This is a fast-paced environment offering opportunities each day to help influence the future of Last Mile delivery. If you are an organized, self-motivated person who likes to be a part of a growing team, I highly recommend JARS.
No career comes without challenges and we are not perfect; However, our goal every day is to be better than we were the day before. We continue to be a Premier partner with Amazon and experience extensive growth. If you are looking for a career in Last Mile/Home delivery working with Amazon, JARS TD is the place to be!
Laid me off a week before my benefits kicked in and I was fulltime. Did a wonderful job delivering packages. Just not a man of their word. Told us if we had an accident we wouldn't get fired, just money deducted from our pay. I had one incident and was fired 3 weeks later. Like I said, a week before my benefits kicked in.
Four days on three off is not bad. When I started the faster you got done the earlier you got home. This changed into more packages on your route and helping slower drivers after you finish your work. Never understood the pay stub the way we were paid made no sense. Get past the aggravation at the warehouse with new ways to do things every week and figure out how to work around lazy people then this job might be ok for you.
Management lack experience. Unwilling to listen to feedback from drivers. Overall operating model unstructured. Actual pay rate $8/hour. Terrible company to work for.
The work was not hard but the management was a mess. And because of that we could not operate effectively.
I started working at jars in October of 2018 which did not start out bad. But later there were major inconsistencies between the management and the workers.
Your the only one delivering so you don't have to worry about distractions.
The breaks will severely knock you off schedule with the routes.
Long fast paced days, physically demanding work.
Start day by picking van up from the yard, drive to the hub. Receive route, find packages for route and load them according to company standards. Leave hub once everyone is loaded, drive to route, deliver packages. Packages ranged from approximately 120 - 250 packages. Once finished with route may be asked to assist other driver who haven't finished their route. Once done fill up gas tank of vehicle before returning to hub. Check in at the hub then drop off van at the yard. Great opportunity to stay physically active while earning money. Long days depending on the route. Fair pay.
Work at your pace, pace must be fast in order to meet the demands of the job and stay on task.
Demanding work for those not in shape.

So you are a bit worried our large dinosaurs are a little to scary for your younger children then we have put together this amazing baby dinosaur package.
This is a great way for any age dinosaur fan to meet some amazing dinosaurs and will really make their dreams come true.


Blog Ready to Grow Out Your Bangs?
Here are some tips to make it easier!
Get a trim. As you let your bangs grow longer, they'll most likely need a tiny trim to keep their shape. Don't try to trim growing-out bangs at home; you could end up with a shorter fringe than you started with.
Try wax. Hair wax works great for smoothing bangs back or to the side. Use a very small amount, and apply with your fingers.
Wear a headband. A wide headband looks chic, and conceals in-between bangs.
Use a straight iron. If you have straight hair, a straight iron can help you tame in-between bangs. Pull them through with pieces of longer hair to help your bangs blend in.
Sweep them to the side. If your bangs are starting to graze your eyebrows, consider wearing them swept across your forehead (a side part makes this easier).
Find a great hairspray. When you're trying to keep long bangs under control, nothing beats hairspray. Try a flexible hold formula so bangs still have some movement.
Consider going shorter. When you get a trim, try lopping an extra few centimeters off the back of your hair; this will even your hair's length more quickly.
Add some volume. Spritz a volumizing spray onto bangs, then use a round brush to blow dry. It will give bangs a bit of lift and shape (beware too much lift, though, which has a 1980's big-hair effect).
Pull them straight back. Here is a cute trick to get those long bangs out of your eyes. Pull them straight back, leaving the sides down, and secure with a barrette.
Go for angles. Ask your stylist to angle the front of your hair so your bangs blend into your cut.

The goal of the project was to create a system that would make it easier for small and mid-sized digital media and content industry companies to access the crowd. As a consequence thereof we entirely revamped our self-service marketplace. Numerous features and a user friendly interface make it easier for less technically adept persons to place text creation orders, translations and surveys.
At the same time, the self-service marketplace also provides tools enabling users with large or ongoing order volume to customize the orders to meet their demands. One of these tools is the above-mentioned WebForm tool. This tool is integrated in every order process. In the survey sector, the tool will help you create your survey form. You can edit the task view, which is displayed to the Clickworkers in the text creation and translations sectors.
The tool can also be used separately and free of charge for your own purposes, irrespective of a text, translation or survey order placed within our marketplace.
For the past eight years we have provided our customers with a service option that enables them to integrate our services via an API into their IT infrastructure and company workflows. Our customers can use the API for example to place new orders, or submit order data and get the results directly back into their system. This service is popular and is being increasingly used. We have now further optimized the API for our customers.
