Warwick, R.I. – February 17, 2022 – Single-family home sales in Rhode Island increased 5.4% year-over-year in January, after falling in the last six months of 2021. Though the strong start in this year’s housing market appears to be a reversal in the moderating sales trend that started last summer, pending sales - those homes put under contract in January but not closed within the month - fell by 4%.
A new pilot program is aiming to open the door to homeownership for first-time buyers by offering $25K in down payment and/or closing cost assistance.
Rhode Island real estate licensees -- read up on legisation enacted in 2022 and new rules from the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation. New mandates apply in a variety of areas, including new Fair Housing continuing education requirements, team regulations, mandatory insurance requirements for landlords, and more.
Warwick, R.I. – February 3, 2022 – Rhode Island’s housing market continued to break records in 2021, fueled by high buyer demand which was intensified by buyers from other states. Last year, Rhode Island Realtors transacted nearly $7.9 billion in residential sales through State-Wide Multiple Listing Service, the listing data exchange owned by the Rhode Island Association of Realtors.

I watched Breaking Bad for the first time last fall and wrote a detailed blog post on character motivation, or the lack thereof for Walter White, the show’s main character. You can read it here.
Here’s the gist: While I enjoyed Breaking Bad overall, the lacking backstories for the show’s main characters sometimes left me questioning their decisions.
For me, character motivation is everything, especially in fiction (and more so in books than TV; I can be more forgiving of TV, like I was with Breaking Bad; more as to why I feel this way in a second).
Character motivation can make or break a story. If the character does something that doesn’t make sense to that character based on what we, as the reader, have come to know about the character, it can leave the reader questioning whether he or she should trust the story (and, as a result, the author).
This doesn’t mean characters can’t surprise us (just as people do in real life). But if all the character ever does is surprise the reader and do things over and over that are completely out of character, this *usually* indicates the author doesn’t have a strong grip of her character’s backstory OR that the character she originally presented to readers isn’t necessarily the character she was striving to create. Nothing foils a story faster than an inconsistent character.
I see this a lot with early drafts — my own as well as my fellow writer scribes’ works-in-progress. In those early drafts, we’re getting to know our characters: who they are now; who they were as kids; who they were five, ten, twenty years ago; who they want to be. Our histories shape us in real life, and our characters’ histories should influence who they become on the page.
As fiction writers, we must address and fix inconsistent character issues from early drafts to final drafts, simply because we have time. Showrunners don’t have that luxury.
To understand what I mean, think about the differences between novel writing and TV writing. A novelist writes a complete book. By the time the book is published, provided the author and editors have done their jobs well, the characters are fully formed and developed. The author especially knows her characters inside and out, right down to things like childhood traumas, flaws (and their origins), dreams and ambitions (and their origins as well).
When showrunners come up with an idea for a show and write the pilot, that’s often as far as they get with the story in terms of understanding the characters. Sure, they might have some hazy knowledge about the characters and the world the characters inhabit, but what they don’t know is if they’re going to get the opportunity to tell the full story. They produce a pilot, a network might order up a bunch of episodes based on the strength of the pilot, and they build from there. And if they don’t get the green light, they have to move on to other stories, other characters. (Yes, there are exceptions regarding this process. But I’m talking in general.) To wit: Showrunner Vince Gilligan revealed in this interview that he didn’t start getting a feel for Walter White’s character and backstory until the fourth season.
This brings me to Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad. For those not familiar with Breaking Bad, Saul Goodman is the shyster lawyer who represents criminals and ambulance chasers. He runs stereotypical bad TV ads (that’s where the “Better Call Saul” tagline comes into play). In fact, Saul effectively lives up to every stereotype you can think of when you hear the words “shady lawyer.”
During one episode of Breaking Bad, viewers learn that Saul Goodman wasn’t always Saul Goodman. He used to be Jimmy McGill. We don’t learn much more than that, which left a wonderful prequel opportunity that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould ran with when they created Better Call Saul.
Better Call Saul is a wonderful journey through deep backstory development. Essentially, we know how things played out for Saul Goodman at the end of Breaking Bad. What we didn’t know is how he got from Jimmy McGill to the Saul Goodman we saw in the final episodes of Breaking Bad.
Better Call Saul is a slow dance. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started watching. Well, that’s not true. I expected that the journey to the Saul Goodman we got to know in Breaking Bad would happen much sooner. But it didn’t.
From a craft perspective, I love that Gilligan and Gould are taking their time revealing this wonderful portrait of a man who’s on this path to Shady Lawyerville, including how he ends up on this path and how he desperately tries to get off this path. The journey down this path doesn’t happen overnight (just like in real life). Instead, viewers learn Jimmy McGill’s backstory over ten episodes, backstory rich with details, nuance, and the occasional red herring. Jimmy McGill becomes a wholly formed character and utterly human in the process.
As fiction writers, it’s our responsibility to understand our main characters (and even minor characters) as deeply as Gilligan and Gould know Saul. This doesn’t mean all of those stories and details will make it into your novel. In fact, most of them won’t. But if you, as the writer, know each character’s backstory, you’ll be able to create a much more fully developed and believable character. You won’t leave readers questioning their motivations.
This doesn’t mean readers will agree or condone characters’ bad choices, but if the reader can understand why the character is making the choice, the reader will happily go along for the ride (yes, provided everything else like pacing, storyline, and so forth are buttoned up as well, but that’s a post for another day).
Start with character. It drives everything else. Don’t be afraid to go back and change things from the beginning — even scenes and details you love — if they don’t adequately reflect the full-grown character you have at the end of your story. Your readers will thank you.

Roofing installation is essentially the process of adding a brand new roofing system to existing commercial or residential structures. The term is generally used in the context of new buildings, which are built from scratch and of course require an adequate roof but can also be used in the context of a rebuild or replacement scenario. Proper installation is extremely crucial for any building as it ensures the building and inhabitants’ health and longevity. It is therefore essential to find experienced and professional contractors who can perform the task.
Installation involves a number of methods, which are largely similar yet vary on the basis of factors such as the type, size, location, climate and/or purpose of the building. The process typically starts with selecting the material (which may include one or more of substances such as single-ply membranes, bitumen, metals, wood, slate, clay or asphalt). Then comes an examination of the roof deck to see if there are any defects or incompatibilities. This is followed by installing underlayment, flashing and ventilation systems - which function as barriers against intruders (like pests), prevent water damage and control moisture levels. Finally, the roofing materials gets installed, and finishing details on the edges are made. The last steps include a final inspection to ensure all areas are properly sealed.

The roots of Hallowe'en lie in the ancient pre-Christian Celtic festival of Samhain, a feast to mark the death of the old year and the birth of the new. It was believed that on this night the veil separating the worlds of the living and the dead grew thin and ruptured, allowing spirits to pass through and walk unseen but not unheard amongst men. The advent of Christianity saw the pagan festival subsumed in All Souls' Day, when across Europe the dead were mourned and venerated. Children and the poor, often masked or in outlandish costume, wandered the night begging 'soul cakes' in exchange for prayers, and fires burned to keep malevolent phantoms at bay.
From Europe, the haunted tradition would quickly take root and flourish in the fertile soil of the New World. Feeding hungrily on fresh lore, consuming half-remembered tales of its own shadowy origins and rituals, Hallowe'en was reborn in America. The pumpkin supplanted the carved turnip; costumes grew ever stranger, and celebrants both rural and urban seized gleefully on the festival's intoxicating, lawless spirit. For one wild night, the dead stared into the faces of the living and the living, ghoulishly masked and clad in tattered backwoods baroque, stared back.
The photographs in Haunted Air provide an extraordinary glimpse into the traditions of this macabre festival from ages past, and form an important document of photographic history. These are the pictures of the dead: family portraits, mementos of the treasured, now unrecognisable, other. Torn from album pages, sold piecemeal for pennies and scattered, abandoned to melancholy chance and the hands of strangers.

Name: Mini Trijudi Rudraksha
Quality: Authentic - Excellent
Size: 30.00 mm approx.
Actual Photo: The image shown is the actual photo of the product. It is not a representative image (Photo). Generally tactics used by other websites is to give one best representative product image (photo) and not the actual image (photo), and further supply as per their own desire.
We at Rudrablessings supply you the same product as shown in the image (photo), not as per our desire, provided the same product is not marked as sold.
Trijudi means 3 Rudraksha naturally joined together.
In this Rudraksha bead as shown in picture, 2 beads on the either sides of the centre bead are properly grown up but the centre bead has not fully grown up as shown in the picture.
In case, had the centre bead fully grown up or fully developed it would have resulted in proper Trijudi and the price for the same would have been between range of Rs. 3 to 5 Lakhs.
Since only the centre bead which is not fully grown or developed we have named it as Mini Trijudi but definitely not perfect Trijudi.
Yes it is an excellent option if one does'nt want to spend a very big amount for perfect Trijudi which would be in lakhs then this is the one.
We are definitely not selling it as a Perfect Trijudi. We are selling it as a option to Trijudi as a Mini Trijudi and very economical to the pocket.
Authenticity: Whether you buy or do not buy from us is secondary, but we insist that you must read the so called Authenticity Certificate before making any purchase from any trader.
Disclaimer: Please click to read Caution / Disclaimer before purchasing from us. We would take it for granted you have read the same before purchase.

MECHANICAL KEYBOARD STABILIZER – WUQUE – WS STABLIZER – PCB MOUNT
Introducing WS Stabs – Aurora Series
For the past several months, we have been working hard at designing and prototyping Wuque stabilizers, aiming to have stabs that can be easily used for any kits.
Aurora series is specifically designed to match Aurora colorway and its 1.2 mm PCBs. However, since a lot of people ask us for 1.6mm PCB’s, we also make it. available here.
The housing design makes it impossible for wires to pop out since they’re installed from the bottom.
There are ribs inside the housing to minimize lube from sticking to the stem, causing them to feel sluggish.
Comes with PCB mounting pads and Teflon adhesive strips already cut to size to make holee modding easier. You can have a tight fit to minimize rattle without spending a lot of time on it.
The 1.6mm version is for the traditional keyboard PCBs. This version fits with most of the keyboard PCBs in the market. Most other stabilizers in the market are also made for 1.6mm PCBs.
1.2 mm ones are not compatible with traditional 1.6mm PCBs
In the following case, we recommend you to choose 1.2 mm
Brand : WUQUE STUDIO – WS STABLIZER
Type : Plate Mount

When you have booked a Celebrant, be it through a Funeral Director or in person, then it is important to know the next steps. The 'what happens next' bit.
My first contact with you is generally over the phone. This is where I introduce myself and arrange to meet with you. I try to gauge how much information is needed at this point. All some people can cope with is setting a meeting time and date, others wish to chat and get as much information as they can. Both are absolutely fine. I am led by you at all stages of the process.
Sometimes I follow this up with a text or e-mail confirmation, again I play this by ear. Our meeting is the most important part of the process for me. It is my opportunity to reassure you, to talk through the options, and to learn about your loved one.
I always happily accept a cup of tea when I arrive (I love a cup of tea, and will talk a lot over the next couple of hours, so it is always welcome). I also find this gives me chance to get my paperwork ready and you time to relax now that you have met me. (Also if there is a cat or dog then this is my chance to give them a fuss)!
There is a rough order to the way I do things, but yet again this is always led by you. Some people already have lots of information and things to give me or show me, others just haven't been able to process anything yet and are happy to be led by me. I always like to see a photo of the person we are talking about, if possible. I find this helps me to visualise them better when we are chatting.
So in no particular order I will....
Talk about my role. I explain that I am there to host the service on your behalf, that the aim is for the service to be exactly what you wish it to be. I can make suggestions, but it is your service, your way.
Talk about the options available. It makes me sad that more people aren't aware that there are no rules around funeral services. There is no right or wrong. You can absolutely do it your way. You may well wish to stick to what has become traditional, but feel free to do your own thing. No two weddings are the same, no two 40th Birthday parties are the same, why should funerals all be the same?
Talk about your loved one. This is always the most interesting part for me, particularly if I am going to write the tribute (also known as the eulogy). I am so privileged to get to know so much about the person that you loved. I am often told family secrets that aren't to be shared, but give me a better insight to the story, what an honour. The more detail and stories I can get, then the easier it is for me to write a meaningful tribute. I take lots of notes (they certainly don't look ordered to anyone else, but it works for me)! I also always draw up a family tree. I keep this close at hand when I am at my laptop, and I find that it really helps to pull details together.
Talk about what happens on the day. This is really important, and I share every last detail as I don't want my families to be surprised by anything (or wonder about the whole head nodding thing that goes on between the Funeral Director and me at certain points).
Talk about what happens next. When I leave I want my clients to feel relaxed, and know that everything is now in hand. Part of that is the knowing exactly what happens now. So, I talk through with you the next steps. I explain what I will do, and what the Funeral Director will do, and we agree what, if anything, you need to do.
Recap. This is really important. I go back over the basics again, just to be sure everyone knows what is happening. I also make sure everyone has my contact details before I leave.
In the coming days I will keep in touch with you. I will send you the draft copy of the complete script, make any amendments and continue to send it across until you are completely happy. I keep in touch with the Funeral Directors and ensure that everything is finalised from their end too.
On the day. If I feel it is appropriate I will send a text message in the morning, just to let you know that I am thinking about you. I always arrive at least 30 minutes before the service so that I can greet anyone who arrives early, and assure them that they are in the right place. I will be waiting as the hearse arrives, and will come to the car to meet you. When you are ready (and not a moment before) we will begin the service. When the service ends I remain at hand until you leave.
A few days later I will pop a full, presentation copy of the script in the post to you. I suggest that you just tuck the envelope away and open it when you are ready, or share it with anyone who couldn't attend.
A few weeks later, if you have given your permission, then the Institute that I belong to will contact you and ask you to complete a questionnaire about me. This is really important for me, as I always strive to improve and I joined the Institute because I believe that it is important to be monitored in my profession.
I enter your life at one of the most difficult times, and I am there fleetingly.
My aim is always for you to feel that you have given the one you love the send off they deserve, and for me to have taken some of the strain away from you.
If I have achieved that then I have done my job well.

How Spain became the nation with most virus cases among health workers
By Andrew Sansom | 09 Jun 2020 | 0
A critical commentary on how Spain became the country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases among healthcare workers has been published in the BMJ.
Spain, at the time of publication on 1 June, had recorded around 50,000 cases of coronavirus infections among healthcare professionals – representing a fifth of all recorded cases – with 70 deaths.
Authored by Javier Crespo, president of the Spanish Society of Gastroenterology, José Luis Calleja, vice-president of the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver, and Antonio Zapatero, president of the Scientific and Medical Associations Federation, the analysis of the Spanish experience outlines several factors that explain why the country has the dubious record of the highest number of COVID-19 cases among healthcare professionals.
“Our health system has had serious structural issues for several decades,” he writes. “These problems worsened following the 2008 global financial crisis and have impaired the response to this emergency.”
He cites these problems as:
- health system fragmentation due to division into 17 health regions;
- an inadequate Ministry structure, due to transfer responsibilities to the regions;
- poor investment in healthcare, below the European average;
- no proactive strategy for tracing contacts or searching for potential cases, and public health specialists working as advisors rather than out in the field; and
- an inadequate response from industry and insufficient investment in research and innovation limiting adaptation during the pandemic.
The article explains how the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDPC) advised countries on 2 March to warn the general population about the impending threat of COVID-19, to put in place COVID-19 diagnostic protocols, to build stocks of protective equipment, and to implement social distancing to disrupt transmission. According to the analysis, the Spanish Central Government Health Authority did the opposite: the population was uninformed; plans for diagnostics were inadequate for the population at large; personal protective equipment for healthcare professionals was not ordered; and many public events went ahead. Consequently, the virus was allowed to spread.
The weekend of 7-8 March saw a huge increase in the number of infected individuals in Spain, with the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring COVID-19 a pandemic few days later. However, the country did not go into lockdown until 15 March.
Planning mistakes at the health service delivery level were also made, says the article, including:
- failure to provide sufficient personal protective equipment for healthcare professionals;
- no government recommendation to test healthcare professionals with mild or no symptoms;
- contacts of positive COVID-19 cases were neither systematically tested nor quarantined, and testing of healthcare professionals in contact with confirmed cases was never recommended; and
- many Spanish hospitals did not set up triage outside hospitals, which has been shown to be effective in reducing in-hospital infection rates and infection of healthcare professionals.
Health services had little chance of containing the virus, says the article. However, there is now hope thanks to the population’s compliance with lockdown rules and the flexibility shown by the health system in increasing hospital beds and intensive care facilities. The rapid construction of temporary hospitals, such as the Hospital IFEMA in Madrid, is also applauded.
Short-term lessons include immediate investment in protective equipment and use of reliable diagnostic tests to screen all healthcare professionals, with regular testing for those workers treating COVID-19 patients. Medium- to long-term lessons include increasing investment in the healthcare and biotech sectors, as well as in improving epidemiology fieldwork.
The commentary argues that lockdown should not end until specific tests are widely available to assess the population, and even then, measures should be lifted gradually.
“Our authorities should not make the mistake of placing economic or political interests before health,” Crespo concludes. “If they do, we will see a recurrent outbreak resulting in greater morbidity and mortality.”

Porcelain Veneers – Lebanon, NH
Disguise All Your Smile’s Aesthetic Flaws
Would you like to improve your smile’s appearance? If your teeth have serious aesthetic flaws, you may be a candidate for porcelain veneers in Lebanon. This remarkable cosmetic treatment has the potential to transform the way your teeth look after just two appointments in our office. Read on to learn what porcelain veneers are, what they can accomplish, and what you can expect during the treatment process.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
As their name implies, porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that a cosmetic dentist in Lebanon permanently attaches to the fronts of your teeth. They come in a variety of shades, so our team can pick a color that will both look natural and beautiful. Veneers are able to disguise a number of aesthetic flaws, including:
- Teeth that appear too short
- Misshapen teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Minor misalignment
You can choose to get just one veneer to hide a particularly unattractive tooth, or you can opt for a full set of 4 – 8 veneers to effect a total transformation. Although veneers are normally applied only to the top teeth, they can be applied to bottom teeth as well.
The Porcelain Veneer Process
First, we must make sure that porcelain veneers are a good fit for your circumstances. During your cosmetic consultation, we’ll discuss your smile goals and evaluate your oral health. If your teeth and gums are in good shape, and if you do not need corrective orthodontic treatment, it is likely that veneers will work well for you.
The process of actually placing the porcelain veneers typically happens across two appointments. At your first appointment, we’ll prepare your teeth. We’ll have to remove a thin layer of enamel from them so the veneers do not make your smile look bulky or unnatural. Then, we’ll take detailed impressions and images of your teeth; the data goes to a lab that will create your custom veneers. We’ll provide you with a temporary cover for your teeth to protect them while you wait for your permanent veneers to arrive. At the second appointment, we’ll make any necessary final adjustments to the veneers and attach them to your teeth.
Caring for Porcelain Veneers
A set of veneers may last for 10 – 15 years or longer with proper care. To extend the lifespan of your new smile, you should:
- Practical excellent oral hygiene. Protecting the teeth beneath the veneers ensures that they have a good base of support.
- Enjoy staining foods and beverages in moderation. Porcelain is resistant to stains, but it can become discolored over time by things like coffee, red wine, and grapes.
- Be aware of the risk of breakage. Biting down on ice or other hard objects, or playing sports without a mouthguard, increases the risk that the veneers will break.
- Visit us for routine checkups. During your checkups, we can polish your veneers to help them stay as clean as possible and preserve their gorgeous luster.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Compared to other treatments from a cosmetic dentist in Lebanon, veneers may seem expensive. However, they are a transformative treatment that can provide you with decades of radiant smiles — for many patients, especially those who want perfect teeth, they are a smart investment! However, we understand that veneers are a big financial commitment, so we hope you consider all of your cosmetic options before you decide how to move forward.
Cost vs. Cosmetic Dentistry: What Should I Choose?
Veneers in Lebanon are just one of the cosmetic services that are available. Here is a brief comparison of some of the most popular treatments, along with a generalized estimate of their prices:
- For some patients, braces or clear aligners are necessary for their oral health. However, if your dental misalignment is minor and purely aesthetic, you should keep in mind that orthodontic treatment could end up costing you thousands of dollars and several months of your time. Additionally, it will not enhance the shape or color of your teeth.
- Teeth whitening. Professional whitening is affordable for most patients, often costing only a few hundred dollars. However, its results may last for just a few years (depending on how you care for your teeth), and it will not change the shape or positioning of your teeth.
- Dental bonding. At first, dental bonding (also called cosmetic bonding or direct bonding) looks similar to veneers, and it is quite affordable. However, it is not particularly durable. It tends to last for 3 – 5 years on average, after which it may break or incur noticeable stains.
- Veneers can enhance the color and shape of your teeth. In some cases, they can even disguise minor misalignment. They typically last for a minimum of 10 – 15 years. They can rightly be considered an “all-in-one” cosmetic treatment that offers an excellent monetary value!
If you would like to learn more about your cosmetic dentistry options, simply ask! We are happy to provide price estimates and explain the pros and cons of various treatments.
How to Make Veneers Affordable
Dental insurance almost never covers the cost of veneers in Lebanon. However, just because you cannot use your benefits to pay for them does not mean that you are without help when it comes to affording your new smile. There are a few provisions that might make veneers easier to fit into your budget:
- Essential Dental Plan. This discount plan provides reduced prices on virtually all the services we offer, including cosmetic treatments like veneers. It can also make it easier for you to keep your veneers in great shape after they are placed.
- We work with CareCredit, a third-party lender, to provide low-interest and no-interest financing for patients. The application process is quick, and you may be able to choose between several payment plans, according to what works best for your budget.
Would you like to learn more about veneers and their cost? Our team looks forward to speaking with you! Contact Santavicca Dental Professionals in Lebanon today to schedule a consultation or ask questions.
Veneers in Lebanon have the potential to transform your smile and help you achieve your ideal look. Before you invest in them, however, you might want to learn more about the road ahead. Below, you will find answers to some frequently asked questions about this treatment. If you do not see the information you were hoping for, reach out to us directly — we look forward to speaking with you!
Are Veneers Permanent?
A set of veneers will not last forever. However, they are considered to be a permanent treatment. During the preparation process, a sliver of enamel is removed from your teeth. That enamel will not grow back, and without it, your teeth may be extra-sensitive and have an odd appearance. Veneers or another type of restoration are necessary to protect the prepared teeth. Do not let the permanent nature of veneers scare you. Most patients who commit to them have no regrets whatsoever about their decision.
Is There Anything I Cannot Eat with Veneers?
As part of your veneers treatment process, you will get temporary veneers. Temporary veneers are relatively delicate, so you should avoid using them to bite on hard foods, like raw vegetables, chewy candies, and anything else that requires a lot of power to eat. They may also stain easily, so it is best to avoid dark items, like coffee and red wine. Once your temporary veneers are replaced by permanent ones, you can eat almost anything. However, you should continue to be cautious with hard foods. Although you can drink coffee and other highly pigmented beverages, you should do so in moderation; overconsumption might cause your veneers to become discolored.
Can Veneers Be Used for Bite Corrections?
Veneers do not change the positioning of your teeth, so they cannot correct issues like overbite, underbite, crossbite, and related problems. However, if you have some dental misalignment that is quite minor, and you are only interested in addressing it for aesthetic reasons, veneers may be able to help you. They can disguise issues like small gaps between teeth, slight crookedness, and more. They may also be able to hide a slight open bite by making your teeth appear longer.
Keep in mind that if you are considering orthodontic treatment, it is best to do it before you get veneers.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
A study from 2007 found that 96% of veneers lasted 5 years, and 73% lasted 15 – 16 years. A separate study, conducted in 2012, found that 83% of veneers lasted 20 years. In most cases, veneer failure is the result of cracks and chips. Really, how long your veneers last depends primarily on how you care for them. Simple steps like wearing a mouthguard when appropriate, not biting on anything hard, regularly visiting your cosmetic dentist in Lebanon, and taking other precautions, can help your veneers to stand the test of time.

Part 4: GDPR – how long to keep data for
In this series of blogs on GDPR, I’m helping small businesses understand what this change in our data protection law will mean for them and also share tips and advice I’ve found useful for my own business, Sayers Solutions – Marketing and Strategy for Small Businesses.
Catch up on the previous blogs here:
- Part 1: GDPR and what it means for small businesses
- Part 2: GDPR – lead source and evidence
- Part 3: GDPR – valid reasons for processing data
To recap, GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and will replace our current data protection laws from 25th May 2018. It is the biggest change to our data protection laws for over 20 years and is being introduced to strengthen EU citizens’ privacy rights.
How long should you keep data for?
So far in this blog series on GDPR I have covered documenting and evidencing where your data came from and making sure you have a valid reason for processing data. But you also need to think about how long you keep the data for.
So how long should you keep personal data? To answer simply – as long as you met a valid lawful basis for processing the data – you should keep it for only as long as it is still beneficial to both your business and the data subject. A clean database of people that connect and interact with your business, as in life, is much more productive than ‘throwing up’ on them on a regular basis. Also, GDPR requires you to keep the data you store secure. You’ll probably agree that it is not efficient to spend time and resource on securing data that is of no use to you. Better to delete it and maintain a cleaner and more useful database.
At Sayers Solutions, I advise my clients to regularly audit the data they have processed. This is fairly easy to do by using, or adding, the “date created” field in their CRM system and having another field automatically populate a future date to prompt them to review the data. To review the data, it should be assessed alongside information in the “lead source” and “reason for processing” fields to determine if the data is still relevant to either their business or the data subject. If the answer is no – my advice is to delete it to maintain a clean and relevant database of contacts.

Can I Get Sole Physical and Legal Custody of My Child?
It’s natural for a parent to want what is best for their child. Sometimes, that means limiting the role the other parent plays in the child’s life.
Courts in Pennsylvania and around the country typically want a child to have a strong relationship with both parents. During a contested divorce or separation of unmarried parents, most courts will award shared physical custody, giving both parents equal time with their child, or one parent primary and the other parent partial physical custody. However, if you want sole physical and legal custody of your child, you must have a good reason for the request and solid evidence to back up your argument.
At Scaringi Law, we have extensive experience in helping parents in complex child custody cases. When necessary, we take immediate action to protect a child in the short term and work toward a long-term custody resolution.
Reasons to Ask for Sole Custody
As angry as you might be with the other parent, getting revenge or punishing them by seeking sole custody is not the answer. Damaging the relationship between your child and the other parent won’t just hurt the other parent. You and your child will be wounded as well.
If your child’s other parent is a true danger to your child, seeking sole custody puts the well-being of your child first.
Reasons a parent might seek sole custody include the following conditions involving the other parent that put the child at risk of harm:
- The parent has recently committed domestic violence
- The parent resides with a person who recently committed domestic violence against the parent
- The parent is currently suffering from severe substance abuse
- The parent has enrolled in inpatient substance abuse treatment
- The parent has recently committed violent criminal conduct
- The parents has been incarcerated
- The parent’s home or community isn’t physically safe for your child
- The parent has neglected or abandoned the child
- The parent is currently suffering from a severe mental health episode
- The parent is voluntarily admitted or involuntarily committed to a mental health facility
Keep in mind that if you prove your case to the judge, they may still grant the other parent visitation or supervised visitation. Terminating all parental rights is only done in extreme circumstances.
Types of Child Custody
Child custody in Pennsylvania is divided into two categories, physical and legal.
Physical custody refers to where the child lives. The types of physical custody include the following:
- Shared: Each parent is allowed to take physical custody of the child and spend roughly equal time with the child.
- Primary: The child spends the majority (more than half) of their time with one parent. The other parent may get partial or supervised custody.
- Partial: This custody describes the parent who spends less than a majority of time with the child.
- Supervised: An agency or adult named by the court monitors the interaction between a parent and the child.
- Sole: One parent has physical custody all the time.
Legal custody is the right to make decisions for the child such as medical care, education, and religious upbringing. The types of legal custody include the following:
- Shared: Both parents have the right to make major decisions for the child.
- Sole: One party makes all major decisions for the child.
The court has numerous custody options. For example, one parent might have sole physical custody but shared legal custody.
Considerations in Custody Determinations
Petitioning for sole custody requires a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer. Our attorneys at Scaringi Law fully understand every nuance of custody law and how to best position and argue your side before the court. The judge must be convinced that sole custody is in the best interests of the child.
The court considers the following factors when awarding custody in the best interests of the child:
- The physical and mental condition of the parents
- Any present and past abuse committed by the parents or a member of their household
- Each parent’s history of drug and alcohol use or abuse
- Each parent’s criminal history
- How each parent performed their parental duties for the child
- Which parent is more likely to attend to the child’s physical, developmental, emotional, and educational needs
- The stability and continuity in the child's education, family life, and community life
- The availability of extended family
- The child's sibling relationships
- The child’s preference (depending on the child's maturity)
The court will also evaluate any attempts of one parent to alienate the child from the other. If the judge sees the request for sole custody as a means to come between the child and the other parent (if no danger is proven), sole custody will not be granted.
Fight for Your Child’s Best Interests
If limiting your child’s contact with the other parent is in their best interests, an accomplished attorney from Scaringi Law can succinctly present the evidence to back up that belief.

SEOUL, South Korea, December 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The Seoul Metropolitan Government started the test-run of eco-friendly taxis from December 3, to transform current gas taxis into hybrid ones that will contribute to improvement of air quality of the city. To do so, the city government concluded an agreement on preliminary introduction of hybrid taxis with the Ministry of Environment of Korea, Korea National Joint Conference of Taxi Association, Hyundai-Kia Motors and Korea LPG Association on December 1.
They have agreed that improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gases in the city are urgent issues. Accordingly, they have decided to join hands to support the distribution of hybrid taxis. The Korea National Joint Conference of Taxi Association will select participating taxi companies and support the monitoring of its operation. Hyundai-Kia Motors will do its role as an automobile manufacturer by monitoring and developing technologies, including analysis of vehicle components durability. Korea LPG Association will support supply of fuel for the taxis, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Environment will provide administrative supports.
Newly introduced hybrid taxi is LPI hybrid vehicle powered by Liquefied Petroleum Injection engine that was first developed in Korea. A total of ten taxis are running in the city by five taxi companies in Seoul, selected by the Korea National Joint Conference of Taxi Association.
The LPI hybrid taxis distributed in Seoul use LP gas as fuel and adopted liquefied petroleum direct injection engine to enhance 1,600cc engine power. The vehicle is also installed with 15kw electric motor as auxiliary power unit to generate electricity for charging the battery by recovering the motor with braking energy that is usually lost at down hills. The hybrid taxi also stops the idling by shutting down the engine when the car is not running to prevent fuel consumption from unnecessary engine idling. The vehicle is expected to be especially effective for the taxi fleet as taxis spend most of the time waiting with their engine on.
According to a city official, hybrid taxi is highly environmentally friendly as one hybrid taxi is expected to reduce more than six tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually and halve air pollutant emissions such as nitrogen oxides. The preliminary introduction will gain its full swing from next year.

Think back to your first memory: Can you still see the watermelon pink dress you wore? Do you remember the unique checkered pattern of your father's jacket?
Our memories are often linked to visual and sensory elements, while the words spoken or read can be more hazy. That's because our brains have a high capacity for storing visuals in our long-term memory, while text enters our working memory, which is limited.
This contributes to why infographics and the inclusion of visual content in online information has been so successful. Readers crave visual breaks from the overload of text-based information that floods our daily browsing and work-related activities.
NeoMam Studios studied how people process visual information, how visuals affect the way we read, and why graphics are so appealing. Discover the science behind why our brains crave infographics....

The Zalman VF700 is a flower style copper heat sink and fan that can be installed on a variety of graphics cards, including the Nvidia Geforce 6600GT (both AGP and PCI Express). My version is a Gainward 6600GT AGP 128MB Golden Sample. One major problem with the AGP installation however is that the PCI Express bridge converter causes the GPU to be set higher on the card than normal. This results in a 30mm overhang as shown on this Zalman installation instructions site.
As I have a desktop style computer case (Antec Overture II) there is no room for this overhang, and I really prefer to have the lid on my case. As a result I decided to embark on a bit of a modding project. Basically the way the heat sink is built one side has much larger fins than the other, and these fins are the ones that overhang. If I could rotate the heat sink 180 degrees then this would no longer be a problem.
First of all the old heat sink must be removed. This is as simple as pushing together and then pushing through the 3 white pins that hold it in place. It comes off very easily and is not held on with heat transfer adhesive like some other GFX cards.
With the heat sink removed you can clearly see the two major chips. The larger one in the centre is the main GPU and the one to the right of that is the troublesome AGP -> PCI Express bridge (the 6600 is a native PCI Express chip). You can also see the 4 10mm x 10mm memory chips surrounding the GPU.
First of all I installed the heat sink rotated 180 degrees. Because the holes are symmetrical this is not a problem and it fitted nicely.
The next problem was that if you insert the card the larger fins actually touch the adjoining PCI slot connector. To fix this I trimmed some fins and bent some of them around out of the way. Copper is very flexible and easy to cut, any loss of surface area this small would be irrelevant to the heat sink’s heat dissipating capacity.
The memory chips also needed to have their heat sinks installed. The guide recommends that you place one on top of each of the 4 memory chips and one underneath. Looking under the board I don’t see how this is possible (you just stick them on top of the component ‘legs’??).
Not only wouldn’t this hold very well, the tiny surface area and fact that the heat would have to travel through the board means that the cooling effect would be minimal. As a result of that I decided to stick 2 on each memory chip. Each sink only has a 50% coverage of the surface area, however they are located where they will still get a decent air flow. Note also that I had to bend and trim the heat sinks a bit so that they fitted within the bounds of the card (yes my case is that close to my cards). Of course rotating the heat sink around is going to cause more problems than just hitting the PCI slot! I also purchased a heat sink from Zalman for the AGP bridge chip (ZM-VHS1 HSI Heat sink).
The large fins now cover the area directly above the bridge chip, so this makes installing the heat sink a little more difficult. As the picture shows the fins actually hit the heat sink and prevent it from being moved in and underneath the fan. Some more modding was required!
Using a grinder and some careful testing I ground down the heat sink so that it could fit in underneath the fan. This reduces the surface area of the heat sink, however the heat sink is located almost directly underneath the fan (as opposed to well away from the fan where Zalman intended), meaning the increased airflow should compensate for the loss of area.
The bridge chip is also a little difficult to install underneath the heat sink, however it is certainly manageable. When the bridge chip is then installed with some thermal paste you can see just how nicely it fits underneath the fan. Needless to say I was pretty happy with this!
The card could now be installed in the case. You can see the fins down near the slot are a little bent, but that the fan now fits nicely within the bounds of the PCB.
I fired up my computer and it looks pretty nice I have to say! The fan is also dead silent when connected to the 5V input of the included power cable. I am very happy with the result and I think it complements my Golden Orb II quite nicely. Sorry about the blurriness of the photo, hard to hold time delays still!
While I was in the modding mood I decided to brand my white box PC with a Dell badge that I ‘found’ elsewhere. It fits absolutely perfectly over the Overture on button and has a nice blue glow coming through around it. I am not a Dell fanboi, it just matches my monitor so nicely now!
I hope that this simple guide gives people with a similar problem to myself some help. There is no other 3rd party cooling system available for the 6600GT AGP card, so this was my only choice. I think this guide will be particularly useful to people setting up media centres which often have pretty tight space restrictions like my case.
I would recommend this card as it is pretty cheap these days and still offers very solid performance. Please be really careful not to damage your GFX card in the process of attempting this mod and also make sure you clean any metal filings off your heat sinks etc. before putting them anywhere near computer equipment! Good luck with it!

Bruce Beresford is directing and Donald Zuckerman producing, with Myriad president and CEO Kirk D'Amico serving as executive producer.
Annette Bening and Sean Bean also star in the cautionary tale about a young American woman who spends a weekend in the English countryside and turns the tables on her hosts when she learns she is part of a social game. Howard Himelstein adapted the screenplay.
'I think it's a great time to be producing a film about a young woman and her travails,' D'Amico said. '2008 showed us, with the success of Sex And The City and Mamma Mia!, that movies about women have finally come into their own from a commercial standpoint.'
Seyfried stars in HBO's hit series Big Love and her upcoming credits include Lasse Hallstrom's Dear John and Atom Egoyan's Chloe with Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore.

Dir-scr Gust Van den Berghe. Belgium. 2010. 74mins
Gust Van den Berghe’s beautifully shot black-and-white re-imaging of the story of the baby Jesus and the three wise men - itself based on Felix Timmerman’s work - is an engaging oddity, though one bound for a future on the festival circuit rather than at a cinema near you.
The story’s theatrical origins are clear to see in this modest-length tale, and while the underlying story is undoubtedly well known, the film is given a certain intriguing poignancy by the casting consisting mainly of mentally handicapped performers.
The Flemish backdrop balances modern-day bars, plumbing and music with a feel of a medieval rustic past in terms of the rural buildings and landscape. The film showed in Directors’ Fortnight.
The three wise men of this version - played enthusiastically by screen newcomers Paul Mertens, Jelle Palmaerts and Peter Janssens - meet in a bar for a little good-natured drinking before heading off into the snowy woods.
They eventually come across a mother and her baby, and dubbing themselves the Three Wise Men, decide to make offerings of crumpled cigarettes and opt to give away their modest gains in tribute to the arrival of the miraculous child.
The film is developed from debut writer-director Gust Van den Berge’s graduation film, and while elegantly staged and full of striking black-and-white compositions, it does have that underlying sense of an ambitious student project. Certainly there is a good deal of skill and ambition on show, but its target is certainly not a general filmgoing audience.
Midway through the threesome find themselves in a bar where we are treated to a striking - and brief - scene of a musical performance from a transvestite singer shot in lustrous colour, but before you know it the wise men are back in black-and-white, It is a striking and memorable moment, but one which again feels contrived and affected rather then integral to the modest storyline.
The performances by the Down’s syndrome cast are all sound and appropriate to the story, though even at a mere 74 minutes this slight and self-consciously arty affair stretches the attention.
Van den Berge has claimed he intends to feature the film as part of a triptych that are united in an umbrella theme of ‘humanity’, but look out for them at an art space rather than a cinema.

Training your pet dog is an essential part of pet possession that not just aids in creating a mannerly companion however likewise reinforces the bond between you and your hairy buddy. Whether you’re a new canine proprietor or have actually adopted a number of canines for many years, understanding the principles of pet dog training can lead to a more unified relationship. In this guide, we will check out various elements of canine training, from standard commands to attending to behavior issues.
Among the first steps in pet training is to develop clear interaction. Pets are user-friendly animals, however they count on their owners to supply assistance and framework. This begins with mentor standard commands, such as “rest,” “stay,” and “come.” Making use of favorable reinforcement techniques, like treats and appreciation, will urge your canine to connect these commands with favorable outcomes. Consistency is crucial; exercising routinely in short sessions aids reinforce discovering without overwhelming your dog.
Behavioral troubles can emerge if a pet dog is not correctly educated or interacted socially. Concerns such as extreme barking, eating, or aggression toward other pets can typically be traced back to an absence of training or incorrect intro to different atmospheres and various other pet dogs. Attending to these concerns early on is critical. As an example, if your dog barks excessively, identify the triggers and use training approaches such as desensitization or rerouting their energy into positive tasks, like dexterity training or interactive playthings.
Socialization plays an important duty in a pet’s advancement. Exposing your canine to various people, atmospheres, and other pets in a regulated fashion aids protect against scared or hostile habits in the future. Young puppy classes are a superb way to facilitate socialization, as they supply organized environments where young canines can engage safely. For adult dogs, steady exposure to new situations can help them adapt and grow in diverse setups.
Finally, pet dog training is not just about obedience; it’s about constructing a trusting relationship in between you and your animal. By concentrating on reliable communication, addressing behavioral issues early, and making sure appropriate socialization, you can create a happy and well-adjusted buddy. Bear in mind, persistence and uniformity are your finest devices in this journey.

Where do I begin
I have a 4 and a half year old daughter who has not been diagnosed with SPD by a health professional yet, but I have a growing suspicion that she has sensory modulation disorder. I have been doing research for years trying to figure out what her condition could be to no avail.
We have had struggles with her development since the age of 4 months old beginning with her inability to breastfeed or bottle feed properly. But that was luckily fixed after one feeding therapy session. She struggled to crawl then walk then run but did eventually. She struggles with her speech articulations. She barely spoke until the age of 4 she only said 3 words on a regular basis “mama, bye, and purple”. I have her using Gemiini for speech therapy but she still struggles with the s, z, and r sounds plus drops off the ending of words. But has made a huge improvement since beginning Gemiini. She didn’t make much eye contact or initiate conversation before using it. But I am thinking she still needs more help than Gemiini can give her.
And then there’s potty training which I waited until after she was 3 years old to even start trying. I have tried pull ups then training underwear and I recently gave up on them since it didn’t make a difference wearing them for her just more frustration for me. One of the hardest things about going through all this is the fact I am a mother of 6 kids who I have had in a 6 year span. I also homeschool my kids and am doing this with no help. So I finally am going to get to see a occupational therapist for her at the end of September.
I hope I am right and have found what is wrong in sensory processing disorder. We don’t have much money to go around so I struggled even to ask my husband to get the referral for the occupational therapy. I must go my youngest is up.

SHORT COURSE 2 — Translating Neuroscientific Discoveries Into Therapeutics — Needs, Challenges, and Potential Solutions
The translation of scientific discoveries into treatments for diseases is an impressive endeavor, yielding rigorous testing and therapeutic solutions. This course will review lessons learned about this translational process in the development of novel therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions. It will also highlight how elucidating fundamental aspects of molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience may improve the lives of millions at risk for or suffering from neurologic or psychiatric disorders.
SHORT COURSE 1 — Mechanisms and Methods in Circadian Rhythm Research
Circadian rhythm research has evolved from characterizing the molecular mechanisms of the activity-rest cycle in Drosophila and rodents to encompassing a wide variety of tools and models to help understand how these cycles affect behavior and the brain. In this course, experts will cover the broad landscape of past and current circadian research, from the use of non-traditional models and machine learning analysis methods to single cell sequencing and circadian medicine.
SHORT COURSE 3 — Tackling Challenges in Data Recording, Management, and Sharing
As science grows more open and collaborative, it is more critical than ever for labs to have a robust plan for data collection, management, and sharing. In this short course, experts will discuss the ways they organize, manage, and share scientific data both inside and outside the lab. Attendees across the career span will learn how research data is handled not just by scientists but also by the libraries and organizations that receive and store data long-term, as well as how to incorporate best practices into their work.
Meet-the-Clinician-Expert, Session 1 — Kenneth Kosik — Genetic Forms of Dementia in a Unique Clinical Setting — The Story of Colombia
Dr. Kosik will discuss international research that meshes clinical experience with molecular biology and neurogenetics. The research focuses on the largest kindred of familial Alzheimer’s disease in the world and is the basis of a drug prevention trial beginning before dementia symptoms. The team has sequenced additional cases with early onset dementia and uncovered numerous novel mutations. The close relationship of the researchers and families has created a strong humanist element to the project.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 1 — Byron Yu — Less Might Be More — Dimensionality Reduction of Large-Scale Neural Recordings
With the rapid development of technologies to monitor and perturb the brain's activity, there is a need for modern statistical methods to dissect and interpret neural activity. Dr. Yu will discuss the benefits of quantitative and experimental scientists working together at every stage of the scientific process: from experimental conception and design, to analysis of data, to development of new statistical tools, and beyond. He will also provide examples of studying the activity of large populations of neurons using dimensionality reduction.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 1 — Cagla Eroglu — What Do Astrocytes Do at Synapses, and Why Should We Care
Studies show that astrocytes are powerful controllers of synapse formation, function, plasticity and elimination. One human astrocyte can interact with up to two million synapses. How these glial cells evolved to gain their structure and how their structure mediates their enigmatic functions is still unknown. Dr. Eroglu’s laboratory identified many mechanisms that mediate astrocyte-neuron signaling, which controls synapse formation and maturation in concert with astrocyte morphogenesis and functional specification. Dr. Eroglu will discuss these findings within her personal journey that took her from her engineering origins to a cellular molecular neurobiologist.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 1 — Lisa Goodrich — Learning to Watch and Listen — A Harmonious Life as a Developmental Neuroscientist and Educator
It is hard to say what is more rewarding — discovering new information or training others to make their own discoveries. Academic scientists have the privilege of doing both. Work in the Goodrich laboratory examines how neurons in the eye and ear become specialized for their unique functions. Dr. Goodrich will discuss her own development as a neuroscientist and an educator, highlighting key decision points and lessons learned that have helped her to find harmony and satisfaction at work and in life.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 1 — Susumu Tonegawa — Neuroscience of Learning and Memory — Memory Engrams and Knowledge Transfer
Dr. Tonegawa will first briefly walk through almost 60 years of training and research spanning from molecular genetics to immunology to neuroscience. He will then describe in detail what is currently known about how memory of experience is formed, stored in the brain, and retrieved for recall, focusing on the discovery of "memory engrams" and their artificial manipulations. Dr. Tonegawa will end the talk by introducing a very recent study on the discovery of the hippocampal event code for knowledge that can be transferred across multiple tasks, making learning more efficient.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 2 — Danielle Bassett — Finding Simplicity in Complexity
Biological systems in general, and nervous systems in particular, are strikingly complex. For centuries, scientists have made progress by isolating and characterizing individual units of these systems. But the units are not enough to explain the system; we need a language in which to encode the intricate patterns of unit-to-unit interactions. Dr. Bassett will discuss how network science provides just such a language, embracing greater complexity while distilling the simple rules of biological architecture and function.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 2 — Karl Deisseroth — Building Things in Brains — Chemistry Construction Projects for Analysis and Discovery in Neural Systems
Over the past seven years, an in situ chemical synthesis approach to biological systems has emerged in which functional materials are assembled within tissues such as the brain — either constructed throughout the intact tissue (hydrogel-tissue chemistry/HTC), or genetically targeted to certain cell types (genetically-targeted chemical assembly/GTCA). Resulting hybrid materials are endowed with diverse capabilities, including the anchoring and labeling of RNA and proteins, in situ sequencing, transparency, reversible size changes, and electrical insulation or conduction. Dr. Deisseroth will discuss the principles and practice of this new way of interacting with biological systems.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 2 — Mala Murthy — Communicating on the Fly — What Neural Circuit Computations in Drosophila Can Teach Us About Our Own Brains
Dr. Murthy will highlight discoveries from her lab on the neural mechanisms and computations underlying social communication in the Drosophila model system and the many parallels it shares with communication strategies in other animals, including humans. She will explain the important role of developing quantitative tools for studying behavior in her studies. She will also discuss the choices that led her and her lab down this research path, and the role of effective communication in science.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 2 — Michael Taffe — An Unhealthy Interest in What the Kids Are Doing These Days
Recreational drug use continues to harm health, as well as vocational and inter-personal success, for some individuals. The complexities of human histories, contingencies and social settings make it difficult to isolate the effects of specific drugs; thus, animal models can assist in providing clear guidance. Dr. Taffe will describe how models from non-human primate to rat to crayfish have been used in his lab to determine effects of popular recreational drugs.
Meet-the-Expert, Session 2 — Rebecca Shansky — Studying Both Sexes in a World Built Around the Male Brain
Dr. Shansky's research investigates sexual dimorphism in fear circuitry using rodent models. Her lab integrates sophisticated behavioral analyses with high-resolution fluorescent microscopy to identify sex-specific patterns of fear expression, learning, and structural plasticity. She will discuss the challenges and surprises she has encountered as a sex differences-focused behavioral neuroscientist, as well as her current advocacy for sex equity in animal research.

Trend Report: BUSTiers
Love Month is almost over but before it goes I have to report on the lingerie that we are out and about in, bustiers. I must quote the difference between a bustier and corset, because it seems that the two are often interchanged. A bustier is basically a longline bra. It includes a bodice part and some go below the waist. A corset is meant to cinch in the waist and emphasize it. The two can be combined but a corset usually don't not include a traditional bra. Bustiers use to just be an undergarment or often built into dresses. These past twenty years we've seen many traditional lingerie pieces come out into our Ready-To-Wear fashion, like the infamous Slip Dress. See how bustiers are being styled for 2017.

THE COLLAPSE of the latest round of mackerel talks in Oslo has resulted in a flurry of strongly worded comments from across the EU and Norway.
Scottish fishermen leaders have expressed bitter disappointment that the three day-talks have ended in deadlock and are now calling for EU sanctions against Iceland and the Faroe islands.
In a joint statement the European Association of Fish Producers Organisations (EAPO), the Norwegian Fishermen’s Association and the Norwegian Seafood Federation, blamed the unrealistic demands and irresponsible behaviour of both the Faroe Islands and Iceland for the failure of the talks.
Last year, the four parties failed to reach a multi-lateral agreement on mackerel quotas in the Northeast Atlantic after Iceland increased its share in the stock to 150,000 tonnes. Faroes has not set its 2011 quota but is expected to further increase its 2010 share of 85,000 tonnes.
EU and Norwegian fishermen argue that such high quotas are unsustainable and not in accordance with advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). Their joint share in the stock is more than 600,000 tonnes, based on historic fishing rights.
Ian Gatt, chief executive of the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen’s Association, said: “We are bitterly disappointed that the totally unrealistic and intransigent stance taken by Iceland the Faroes during these latest talks has meant that it was not possible to reach an agreement. The EU and Norway offered genuine and meaningful concessions in a bid to find a resolution, but these were rejected.
“The move by both countries to significantly increase their already grossly over-inflated quotas is the height of irresponsibility and could do real damage to a stock that has been sustainably harvested and carefully looked after by the Scottish fleet.
“It is now more essential than ever that the EU imposes meaningful sanctions against Iceland and the Faroes, including putting accession talks with Iceland to join the EU on hold.

“The EU must stand up for the rights of those Member States already in the Union and ensure the stocks we rely on and our businesses are protected from countries on the outside. Given this is probably the EU’s most valuable fish stock it’s only right and proper that resolution of the dispute is a pre-condition for accepting Iceland into the body of the EU.”
A spokesman for the EAPO added: “We underline that allocation shares can never be based on a pattern of free fisheries, lacking any scientific credibility, which would be the case if the EU and Norway accepted the unrealistic demands by both countries.
“Unfortunately 2011 will see total catches that will most probably exceed the catches advised by ICES.”
The breakdown of the talks will also have an impact on the Scottish whitefish industry, according to Bertie Armstrong, the chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation, as it will impact on the bi-lateral whitefish agreement between Scotland and Faroes.
“Scotland’s whitefish fishermen have been steadfast in their support of their colleagues fishing for mackerel and the failure to reach agreement today will have repercussions for the whitefish sector too.
“It could, for example, force Scottish boats that would normally spend part of their time fishing for whitefish in Faroese waters to divert their effort instead to grounds closer to home.
“All these repercussions are a result of the irresponsible behaviour off Iceland and the Faroes, which could result in severe harm to the lifeblood stock of the Scottish pelagic industry, as well reduce important fishing opportunities for a significant number of our whitefish boats.
“This is why it is more essential than ever that the Scottish and UK Governments, along with the EU, exert as much pressure as possible to ensure Iceland the Faroes see sense and reach a fair and proper agreement,” Mr Armstrong said.

When it comes to managing land, Phillip Jennings’ credo is “give back, leave the place better than the way you found it.”
And that includes an abiding respect for the ducks, quail, turkey, deer and hogs and their habitat hunted on the section of the family’s 8,500-acre farm that’s dedicated to the new Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club in historic Soperton, Georgia.
Now in his early sixties, Phillip grew up in the vicinity on a one-acre hardscrabble homestead that served to reinforce a deep gratitude for his own success in agriculture built acre by acre that inspires the family-style hospitality and appreciation extended to the guests of Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club. The Jennings’ family legacy is ever-present, with his son Phillip Jennings II co-managing the hunt club. A rough-hewn house on the farm dating back to 1910 where Phillip’s grandmother lived has been repurposed into a private, rustic hunt club notable for its help-yourself sociability of Pappy Van Winkle, Blanton’s and Colonel E.H. Taylor bourbon along with just about whatever else you can possibly request.
The lodge at Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club.
Soperton is a rural county seat, and its location helps shape the culture of the Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club. The area is rich with lore of moonshiners, Indian settlements, opera and murders by the old Southern Mafia. Here, people say what they mean, believe in hard work and support their neighbors. Warmth and kindness are existential qualities in a town of just under 3,000 people, which occupies an area of only 3¼ miles in Treutlen County. It’s much easier to gain a bad reputation than to maintain a good one based on the merits of honesty, cooperation and faith. Having built an enormous agricultural business from nothing more than a small food plot, local-boy-made-good Phillip Jennings parlays his life story into genuine guest thankfulness that inspires people to return even if they have a disappointing day behind the trigger.
Although new, the take-up has been fast. The Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club is fully booked almost every weekend. During my visit there were about 10 guests. An incredible dinner of home-cooked fried pork chops with all the traditional sides was accompanied by amiable conversation. A big surprise awaits when he you head up the room.
Phillip Jennings in the lodge of the Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club.
The Jennings are eleventh-generation farmers. The family settled in the U.S. in the 1730s and eventually moved to the Soperton area in the 1800s. They’ve been farming in Treutlen County for five generations. Phillip made his fortune selling turf grass to golf clubs and other luxury destinations, although the farm also grows raw crops. When the hunt club became popular enough to justify lodging, the Jennings men wanted to show their farmer pride. There were three silos close to each other, and the Jennings decided to build the lodge around them. So the walls of the rustic guest rooms are curved around the shape of a silo, with high windows that welcome natural light. It’s pretty darn cool.

When I arrived on a weekday, the new lodge was receiving its final touches. The cement in the walkway was almost dry, some last-minute painting, and renovations to out-building were all under way. The interior, though, was complete in a traditional rural old-timey aesthetic with a cozy bar that had bottles in cubbies formed by vintage wood ammunition crates, and a big brick fireplace in the lodge lounge furnished with comfortable couches, chairs and folk art.
The bar in the Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club features old shotgun shell boxes. The original silo on the site is visible. There are three silos that were integrated into the lodge’s construction.
The Pro Shop is in a separate building. It’s fully stocked with fine clothes, gear and boots. Gun sales are highlighted by the first Benelli Experience Center in the U.S. where you can rent one of their semi-autos for $24.00 per day and if it fits and you like it give them your credit card.
I saw firsthand the focus of both Jennings men in overseeing the finishing bits. Every detail in finalizing the construction is addressed while multitasking running their farm here in Soperton and another big agricultural operation in Canada. Phillip Jennings II confided in me that nothing gave him more satisfaction than to plant a seed and watch it grow. Now he was experiencing that same thing with the birth of Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club.
The author with some of the bobwhite quail taken on the hunt.
I had booked a split bobwhite quail hunt: lunch followed by a hunt then dinner, stay overnight, with breakfast the next morning, hunt and finally lunch. After lunch on the day of my arrival, a vintage Defender was waiting for me with the engine running. The truck was part of a small collection the Jennings are building to drive hunters around the property – and it’s a heck of a lot more fun than riding in a bird buggy pulled by a Jeep.
My guide Noah Fouche was running Pointers, Setters and Labs. I’ve been to quail preserves where the guide is always yelling at his dog, but my guide here was quiet. A subtle command and his dogs obeyed. The first afternoon was bright and unusually hot. The classic South Georgia habitat of loblolly pines and sprouts, broomsedge, scrub oak, wax myrtle and sand gave the bobwhite quail plenty of opportunity hunker down and run. But when they flushed, the birds had a strong tendency to circle back over my shoulder then fly low and fast, making for challenging shots with my 20 gauge over/under. We did raise about 30 birds of singles, doubles and coveys. Given the heat, by time dinner approached I was ready for a cold beer at the lodge.

The next morning started with a classic big breakfast. We were back in the Defender bouncing along the trails. Fortunately, winds of about 25 miles per hour and light overcast brought cooler temperatures. The quail flushed and at a high speed grazed the tops of the vegetation. Snap shooting was the order of the day. Once again, we flushed some 30 birds during the half-day hunt.
Phillip Jennings at one of the duck impoundments he had built at the Broomsedge Rod & Gun Club.
Back at the lodge, I saw Phillip as he was rushing to his truck. Still, he wanted to show me something. As we drove, I discovered that Phillip was really a duck guy. He showed me around different impoundments that could take years and lots of money to develop for flighted duck hunts. Forty acres of cultivated wetlands around the property complemented the rivers and lakes in the area that also attracted ducks. The impoundments were also Phillip’s way of trying to restore duck populations to the level of his boyhood. And so far, the highest count they recorded was about 600 wood ducks that were making an overnight stopover during migration.
“We’re making our habitat better,” he said.

How to Fill RTO Form 22 for New Vehicle Registration
Posted on 2025-04-24 09:32:03
A car must fulfil certain safety and environmental requirements before it can be allowed to be driven on Indian roads. The manufacturer's certification that the vehicle is roadworthy and satisfies the required emission standards, known as RTO Form 22, is one of the important documents attesting to this compliance. This form is quite important in the vehicle registration procedure, particularly for newly bought vehicles. Knowing how to properly fill out and submit RTO Form 22 guarantees a more seamless interaction with the Regional Transport Office (RTO). It keeps you in complete compliance with Indian traffic rules, regardless of whether you're a first-time car buyer or managing vehicle documentation for a fleet.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Donatas Motiejunas and Marcus Thornton will not play for the Detroit Pistons on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans because the trade that brought them from Houston has not been finalized.
The duo was acquired at the trading deadline, but Motiejunas still had to pass a physical. He had season-ending back surgery last April, didn't play again until early December and has been sidelined again since Jan. 1 with recurring pain.
Motiejunas was undergoing extensive tests in New York, supervised by a team doctor, and they weren't finished in time for Sunday's game.
''It's not frustrating, because this is part of the trade process,'' Pistons coach/president Stan Van Gundy said. ''We want to get everything taken of correctly, not just rush through things.''

Technology plays a crucial part, but the health and happiness of employees and the organization’s culture as a whole play even larger roles in ensuring that employees not just survive but flourish. The discussion shifted in the day's last panel to how to begin restoring trust not just with patients but also within the workforce, and how to reconcile a dedication to patient care with the demands of a staff shortage.
Healthcare is not in the best shape, as described by Adrienne Boissy, Chief Medical Officer of Qualtrics and former Chief Experience Officer of Cleveland Clinic. As she observes the erosion of interpersonal connections, rising incidence of workplace violence, and a lack of psychological safety, she recognizes that the term “languishing,” coined by Adam Grant, is well applied to the current situation of the healthcare system. “Caregivers who spent their whole lives wanting to care for other people are feeling very uncared for,” Boissy said, adding that 63% of 45-years-old physicians are burnt out, an increase of 20 percentage points from 2017. “Those who are still standing and still working are particularly feeling bitter and abandoned,” said Albert Wu, Director of Johns Hopkins Center for Health Services and Outcomes Research, confirming the dire state of the healthcare workforce.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital relied on the Resilience In Stressful Events (RISE) peer-support program, established around ten years before the pandemic, to assist healthcare professionals in coping with mental distress after patient adverse events. Volunteers often listen and provide basic psychological first aid before referring the individual to more specialized services. “When COVID-19 picked up, we began to get 10 calls a day,” Wu said, noting a dramatic increase over the previous monthly average of 10 calls in a 1000-bed hospital. “And people were genuinely grateful that they finally had a chance to have someone to talk to.” That's why they rolled it out to other hospitals internationally and created training to assist them in bringing it to life. Wu observed that it is equally crucial to care for volunteers who listen to healthcare personnel, so they often gather for a short debrief in which “how are you doing?” is often the most critical question.
Because “burnout is a systemic issue, not a personal one,” according to Boissy, “empathy has to be operationalized in organizations” to move the needle and transcend the one-on-one interaction to create resilience. To address the core of safety and quality concerns and a primary source of patient dissatisfaction, the Cleveland Clinic implemented training geared explicitly at improving internal communications. The training helped “decrease burnout, increase validated measures of empathy, and improve patient satisfaction,” as a case-control study of the program reported. Boissy also mentioned The Pause, a microbreak that allows the care team to pause for a moment of quiet in memory of a deceased patient and to recognize the team's efforts.
Insufficient rest, nutrition, and hydration are at the top of Boissy's list of challenges. Further, “empathy done well is actually hard and uncomfortable,” Boissy said, and time and balance are limiting issues since “if your own bucket as a leader is empty, you have nothing to offer.” A second hurdle is that healthcare professionals don't like to speak about themselves or seek assistance, and all of the incentives encourage them to keep their heads down if they want a good grade and reputation. According to Wu, the world needs more top-level executives who “lead by example” that should add a fourth goal—“ensure the well-being of healthcare workers”—to the three previously established goals of patient satisfaction, population health, and cost-cutting per capita. On an organizational level, executives are urged to monitor the influence of employees' mental and physical health by instituting frequent reviews and using this metric, among others, such as retention, burnout, and turnover figures.
As Wu underlined, “healthcare is humans taking care of other humans,” therefore, it's important to remember that even top leaders have needs. Boissy encourages everyone, including leaders, to go through the exercise of creating their own “joy pie,” which consists of sitting down, drawing a circle, and dividing it into slices based on what a life filled with joy could look like. Leaders need to ensure they're taking care of their own “joy pie” before they can adequately care for and motivate the individuals under their charge.
Boissy, closing with several pieces of advice, quotes the essay “Getting rid of stupid stuff” to stress the importance of leaders automating tasks that can be automated in order to free up employees' time. She then adds, “digitized everything, humanize always,” to stress that technology should not be seen as a replacement for human interaction. She also recommends that leaders be more aware of trauma-informed care since continuing to discuss a traumatic event may be triggering. Last but not least, she argues that the phrase “work-life balance” misleads into thinking the achievement of a “nirvana moment” that does not exist and that, instead, it is essential to “embrace the joy of imbalance.”
The panel urged organizations to bake empathy into the process to create environments where compassion—including self-compassion—humanity and asking for assistance are seen as a sign of strength, not weakness. The numbers indicate that the current situation is not sustainable without change and that the healers themselves need care. The panelists agree that it’s crucial to help employees cope with their fears and anxieties, as well as any frustration or anger they may be experiencing, by giving them a space to debrief and express those emotions.

As a business, it can be difficult to know whether it is a good idea to start working with a marketing agency. It can appear expensive and needing a lot of communication. So, is it a better idea to hire new marketing members which will results in an in-house project? Or should you work with a marketing agency by your side?
There are several benefits to working with a marketing agency on various projects. Here are the top benefits in my view.
A marketing agency is full of people with specific and varied skills. When you pay their services, you pay for several years of studies and experiences. Working with a marketing agency will provide you with strong expertise and a work of quality. For example, in a marketing agency, you can find an SEO specialist or a social media specialist. Most of the time, you can’t have someone with such a specific skill in your in-house team.
Their experiences on many study cases gave them the knowledge and easy understanding of what you want. They are used to work with a company like yours and interpreting your briefs and guidelines. The agency can show you its previous achievements in order for you to have a better idea of the outcomes.
Marketing agencies are productive. They are used to work together as a team and to meet your expectations and deadlines.
Moreover, marketing agencies are results-driven. It means that you will get what you paid for and have the number supporting it.
It can appear that working with a marketing agency is too expensive. Yet, hiring new marketing staffs might not be the most cost-effective decision. Recruiting new members to your marketing team adds costs.
First, you need to pay your new recruits. To give you an idea, here are examples of their average salaries:
- Marketing coordinator: AU$54,149
- Marketing manager: AU$78,670
- Graphic designer: AU$52,915
Additionally, you need to think about the resources used to create the job advertisements and to go through the interviews. After the recruitments, you will need to train each person on the team. Plus, you need to think about the costs of the healthcare benefits, vacation days, sick days etc.
If you are not into hiring a whole new marketing team, it will lead to assigning new tasks to your current staffs. Too much work will be accumulated on their shoulders and will reduce the quality of their work and their productivity. Plus, they are not specialised, unlike the agency members.
Hiring a marketing agency will make it easier to manage your budget. You pay for the service and don’t have to worry about added costs. And of course, you don’t have to train a marketing agency.
A different perspective
As said earlier, marketing agencies have worked on a ton of projects before yours. They have seen and achieved a lot. As a result, they can take a step back and see your business from another perspective.
Another point of view on your business activities can reveal itself very helpful. The marketing agency can detect any error or problem in your strategy your in-house team did not. They can advise you on getting a better performance by establishing a more relevant strategy.
Latest technologies and marketing trends
To be high-positioned in the market, marketing agencies have to keep up to date with the latest technologies and marketing tools.
A lot of these technologies are pretty expensive. Your business would usually not pay for them. Working with a marketing agency gives you access to these which is a big advantage.
If you choose to work with a marketing agency, it is crucial for you and your team to provide the best information to the agency. The clearer it is, the best will be the agency’s outcomes. Here’s how to work with a marketing agency:
How to work with a marketing agency in the best possible way.
Hire a project manager
Even if you work with a marketing agency, it is a good idea to hire a project manager. Especially if the work you ask for is complex and a big piece. The project manager will be the link between your business and the agency.
A project manager’s missions are to assign resources to projects and develop them the best way possible. He also manages the project's budget and communication. Overall, he helps with the organisation of a project to reach your goals effectively and efficiently.
Both parties will benefit from the project manager as it limits any misunderstanding. As for the costs, it is only one person to hire so you don’t lose too much time nor money.
Present a relevant and useful marketing brief
It is important that you communicate clearly and precisely about your expectations. If you don’t know what you want exactly, you can’t expect the agency to know. So, in order to go in the right direction, create a precise and detailed brief.
To do that, it is important that the brief also carries a « control function » to allow a comparison with the work done.
Who are you? Give a concise but clear summary of your company’s background, your products or your services. You can also state your competitors. This allows the marketing agency to understand the context of the enquiry better.
Target market. Describe the target market you are trying to reach and deeply define some persons of your typical audience (age, gender, interests, purchasing behaviour etc.).
What have you achieved? Report previous marketing campaigns and your resources. The marketing agency will be able to use that to save time and see what did not work in the past. They can also determine more relevant ideas and strategies according to that.
Objectives and goals. State your objectives and goals. Add your goals as numbers to ease the performance tracking.
What do you want? Explain what you want and what type of deliverables you are expecting to conduct this new marketing campaign.
Mandatories. Don’t forget to state your deadlines and time management so the agency can organise their time better. And of course, don’t forget your budget for the agency to use the most relevant resources.
Be flexible to new outcomes. There is the possibility that what you proposed was not realistic. Sometimes, little changes can improve the quality of the results. Because of their experiences, marketing agencies know what will work the best.
In conclusion, working with a marketing agency has many benefits for your business. It saves time and offers resources with strong expertise.

For lovers of Hallowe'en, you'll love it even more when you get this super set of one dozen postcards (3 of each image).
These are replicas of the antique original postcards that were so popular years ago. But, guess what - they are vintage themselves from 1986.
All of postcards are highly embossed for dimension and have added metallic accents. Each card measures 3-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches.
Use these as invitations for your Hallowe'en (Halloween) party, or as thank yous, or just to say, "Boo!"
The cards themselves are in new (never used) condition inside the original packaging. The package itself is a bit dingy - the card inside are well protected. It is the original packaging! As you can see, someone put a SilverCrow sticker on the front over the package label.
Please excuse the smaller photo of the 4 designs - the picture was taken long ago when internet images weren't very detailed. We did not want to re-take the photo - so that you'd see the original packaging.
Alas, B. Shackman Co, is no longer open. This fun novelty company began selling novelties by Bertha Shackman with her husband, David, in 1898 in New York City. David emigrated from Germany.
These postcards are quite a treasure because of their history.

The Matrix Resurrections is finally here. Is it a ‘woke’ film or are ‘awake’ forces behind it? A few (unanswered) questions, contemplations or musings and a brilliant analysis of the trailer by a youtuber. Spoiler alerts are in light blue.
Well, to start with the obvious.. Hollyweird is dead (the movie was shot in California and in Berlin and Potsdam Germany). So who is behind the film? And we see a few of the original cast but not many big other names.
The Wachovski brothers transformed into the Wachovski sisters, one around 2008 and the other in 2016, a bit of a red flag for being in the cult. So the one sister, Lana is responsible for directing an writing, with the other, Lily as co-writer. They didn’t give many intervies and remained somewhat a mystery. Also the star Keanu Reeves has been suspected to be in the cult. Has he freed himself from it? Did they all have an agreement to change sides?
The trailer has much symbolism, so look it up! And then watch this interesting analysis. All relevant links are under the video, if you open it in youtube. So far, no spoilers.
Dark to Light
While you’re asleep..
One of the main themes I gather from the movie is if it is ethical to wake someone up who is fast asleep, who has choosen the ‘blue pill prescriptions’. And my goddess, in part 4 they need many more blue pills than before..
What if she is happy where she is at her life? We live in a free will universe, believe it or not. That is why the cabal needs to show their plans. Even if they do it in movies or media, it is our choice to decline, to say no. Unfortunately, most people see this as entertainment. A fantasy. A good thing is that more people are waking up to this concept.
Spoiler alert! They decide to extract her from the pod without plugging her out of the Matrix. A delicate operation.
“While you’re asleep we fight for you” is an important saying within the truther community.
You shouldn’t have used children
Spoiler alert! She wakes up and fights. The matrix, using children to keep her in seems to be the tipping point once she breaks free from the trance. Sounds familiar? When do we all break free of our trance? When do we all notice it’s about the children?
Do the flip
So, when we take the red pill, what happens to us? In the movie there are again mainly two realities (besides the construct, wich is shown only once). We have the matrix, which has humanity trapped in the illusion. If you look deeper its not a nice place to be at all, it has zombies, it punishes you if you happen to wake up, if only a little. Or when you’re disobedient tot the rules, it has you punished. All China 3.0 style.
Secondly there is the reality beyond the matrix. An alternative society run by a group of misfits (in the good sense of the word) who manipulate the codes and insert themselves at will in the matrix to fight the opposition?
Is there a conclusion? Neo says he is not ’the one’. So no saviour complex here. But what is the conclusion? Two more humans freed of the matrix?
How about a 180 flip of the situation? What if we go beyond this movie and feel. Feel, feel. Shouldn’t the reality beyond the matrix not be filled with tech and robots? Shouldn’t it be filled with joy and beauty and be natural, organic?
What are your ideas for the world beyond the Matrix?
So, have you watched it? Or have I?
Bonus spoiler: What about Io? One of moons of Jupiter. Disclosure anyone? Breakaway civilisation? Maybe we shouldn’t look at Io but at Ganymede?

Input Resources and Academic Achievements of the Students
The study was primarily intended to examine the association of input resources and academic achievements of the students in public and private sector colleges. Input resources were measured in terms of physical, financial, human, and information resources. The academic achievements of the students were measured through results of respective colleges in annual BISE examinations and treated as output of the colleges. For sampling, the colleges of district Kotli AJ&K were selected. The study employed primary data, collected through mailed questionnaire, to determine the level of input resources in respective colleges. In the meantime, secondary data regarding academic achievements of the students were extracted from annual board gazettes. The collected responses were analysed by using correlation and regression analysis. The study found difference between input resources and academic achievements of the students in public and private colleges. Positive and significant correlation between input resources and academic achievements of the students was also observed. Separate regression analysis for public and private sector colleges exposed that the effect of input resources on academic achievements of the students remained pronounced in private as compared to public colleges. Based on results, the study suggested the effective deployment and sharing of available resources to and from each category for mutual gain and better educational outcomes.

When it comes to managing your wealth, one of the key factors to consider is the cost of fees associated with investment management. While it is important to work with financial professionals who can help you grow your wealth, it is equally important to ensure that you are not overpaying for their services. By optimizing your wealth with lower management fees, you can increase your economic efficiency and maximize your returns.
One way to lower your management fees is to shop around and compare the fees charged by different financial advisors. Some advisors may charge a flat fee, while others may charge a percentage of your total assets under management. By understanding the fee structure of each advisor, you can choose the one that offers the best value for your money.
Another way to lower your management fees is to consider using passive investment strategies, such as index funds or exchange traded funds (ETFs). These types of investments typically have lower fees compared to actively managed funds, as they are designed to track a specific market index rather than constantly buying and selling securities. By incorporating passive investments into your portfolio, you can reduce the overall cost of managing your wealth.
Additionally, you can also consider using robo advisors, which are automated investment platforms that use algorithms to manage your portfolio. Robo advisors typically have lower management fees compared to traditional financial advisors, as they require less human intervention. While robo advisors may not offer the same level of personalized advice as human advisors, they can be a cost effective option for those looking to optimize their wealth with lower fees.
In conclusion, optimizing your wealth with lower management fees is essential for maximizing your economic efficiency. By shopping around for the best fee structure, considering passive investment strategies, and exploring robo advisor options, you can reduce the cost of managing your wealth and increase your overall returns. Remember, it is possible to work with financial professionals without compromising your financial goals – all it takes is a little research and planning.

With Global Postural Stretching and Global Primal Moments, you can stretch and strengthen your body this way. GPS is postural stretching that gives your body the space and balance it needs.
How Does GPS Work?
Using the images above and looking at the hips, all these muscles (and more not pictured) encompass the hip. Each can be stretched segmentally with myofascial stretching, especially if any are tight or causing problems. Postural stretching works with the entire hip in the different ways it can move and the connections to the other areas of your body, such as the knees, back, and shoulders.
This will integrate it back into the whole body and how it moves.
As mentioned above, these are global stretches that work holistically. This means it uses the fascia that connects our entire self. And since GPS is in the holistic exercises and fitness program, it is a great technique to train your fascia.

Owning a car is a significant decision that can shape your daily life and adventures. When you choose a Nissan, you're opting for a blend of innovation, safety, and comfort designed to elevate your driving experience. Known for crafting reliable, efficient, and technologically advanced vehicles, Nissan offers a driving experience that combines performance with peace of mind.
Nissan cars are engineered with advanced safety features that prioritize your well-being on the road. These technologies work quietly but effectively to guard against potential hazards. Meanwhile, if you're concerned about fuel costs or the environment, Nissan's range of efficient and eco-friendly options offers solutions that are kind to both your budget and the planet.
In addition to performance, Nissan vehicles shine in the categories of style and comfort. Their sleek designs and thoughtful interiors ensure that every journey is enjoyable for both driver and passengers. Let's dive deeper into the many benefits that make owning a Nissan a rewarding choice.
Advanced Safety Features
Nissan's commitment to safety is evident in its advanced safety technologies designed to protect drivers and passengers every time they hit the road. Among these innovations, the forward collision warning system stands out. This feature alerts the driver to potential collisions with vehicles ahead, allowing for timely braking or evasive action. It's not just about being aware; it's about being prepared.
Another crucial safety technology is automatic emergency braking. This system is designed to stop your car automatically if it detects that a collision is imminent and no action has been taken by the driver. It acts as an extra layer of protection, providing peace of mind when you might need it most. Such features reduce the likelihood of accidents significantly, creating a safer driving environment for everyone.
Additional features like lane departure warning and blind-spot monitoring offer further peace of mind. These systems assist drivers by providing alerts if the vehicle drifts from its lane or if another car is detected in a potentially dangerous position. Together, these technologies form an integrated safety network.
By incorporating these state-of-the-art safety technologies, Nissan enhances your driving experience, ensuring that you feel secure and confident behind the wheel. Investing in a Nissan means prioritizing your safety and the safety of others on the road.
Fuel Efficiency and Eco-Friendly Options
Nissan’s commitment to fuel efficiency means significant savings at the pump for drivers and benefits for the planet. Many Nissan models feature impressive miles-per-gallon ratings, making them an economical choice for budget-conscious individuals. Whether you're commuting to work or heading out on a weekend road trip, the fuel efficiency of these vehicles can help you stretch your fuel budget further.
Nissan also offers a range of eco-friendly options, including electric and hybrid vehicles. The Nissan Leaf, one of the brand's flagship electric models, exemplifies this commitment. As a fully electric car, it produces zero emissions, making it an environmentally conscious choice for eco-friendly drivers. Additionally, hybrid models combine gasoline engines with electric power, which improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.
These vehicles offer a sustainable driving option without sacrificing performance or convenience. Owners not only enjoy the satisfaction of reducing their carbon footprint but also benefit from potential savings on fuel and maintenance costs. Electric vehicles typically have fewer moving parts than traditional cars, which can result in lower long-term maintenance expenses.
Choosing a Nissan vehicle with enhanced fuel efficiency or opting for an eco-friendly model means taking a step toward a greener future. It's about enjoying your drive while making smarter choices for your wallet and the environment.
Reliable Performance and Engineering
Nissan vehicles are renowned for their exceptional engineering and reliable performance. This reputation stems from meticulous design and attention to detail, ensuring that each car delivers consistent and dependable results for drivers. Known for their robust engines, Nissan cars are built to handle diverse driving conditions with ease, from daily commutes to long road trips.
One of the standout features of Nissan's engineering is its smooth handling. Whether navigating through city streets or cruising on highways, the precise steering and agile suspension systems offer drivers a comfortable and responsive experience. This quality is complemented by the advanced transmission systems found in many Nissan models, which provide seamless gear changes and enhance fuel efficiency, adding to the overall driving pleasure.
Performance also extends to the durability of Nissan vehicles. The use of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques contribute to the longevity of these cars, ensuring that they stand up well over time. These aspects make Nissan a trustworthy choice for those seeking a vehicle that blends reliability with enjoyable performance.
Innovation and Comfort in Design
Nissan’s commitment to innovation is clearly visible in the design and comfort elements of their vehicles. The interiors of Nissan cars are crafted with care to provide a pleasant driving and riding experience. From ergonomic seating to user-friendly dashboards, every detail aims to make journeys more enjoyable. The use of high-quality materials enhances the feeling of luxury and durability, ensuring that comfort is felt on both short and long drives.
The exterior design of Nissan vehicles is just as impressive. The sleek lines and modern styling not only make these cars visually appealing but also contribute to aerodynamics, improving performance and efficiency. Innovations in technology are seamlessly integrated into the design. For instance, many Nissan models come equipped with intuitive infotainment systems and smart connectivity, allowing drivers to stay connected and entertained while on the road.
These thoughtful design elements work together to create an environment that caters to comfort, convenience, and aesthetics. Whether it's the drive-enhancing features or the stylish interiors, each aspect of Nissan’s design philosophy enhances the overall travel experience for both drivers and passengers alike.
Choosing a Nissan means investing in a vehicle that excels in safety, efficiency, performance, and design. The blend of advanced technologies and thoughtful engineering makes owning a Nissan a smart choice for anyone who values reliability and innovation.

We all know how Valentine’s Day is the ultimate time for romance… Sparks of love can flutter and fly if we plan a magical night just right and put some effort into making it special.
For most of us, however, it can be a tricky thing coming up with a creative way to spend the day and keep the romance alive.
I mean who hasn’t planned something we thought was romantic on V-day only to have it fizzle into a Yawn Fest in the end. We’ve all been there, done that.
The problem is NOT thinking creatively enough, which is why we need to brainstorm a little and add some spice to our love repertoire, especially for Valentine’s Day. Here are some fresh ideas I found that could possibly help:
• Fill up a room with balloons, each containing candy and love notes. This will have a great effect on romantics, especially of the female persuasion, who love balloons, candy, and meaningful expressions of amore.
• Make love coupons good for cuddling by the fire, a dance in the rain, champagne in the hot tub, etc.
• Kidnap your significant other for a romantic evening out on the town. You could pick them up in a limo with their favorite music playing inside or their favorite flowers, whatever works.
• Funny love notes. Hide notes around the house that have puns describing your feelings. I tried this and it’s great. One of my notes I left on a toaster said, “Without you, I’m toast,” and another one taped to a hanger said, “I’ll hang around forever for your love. I know corney, but hey, it works. The last one can be an invitation to go to their favorite restaurant.
• Get a side by side couple’s massage here at Spa Lux. A little candle light, soft music, soft lights…and caressing massage… I promise, it will be a night to remember.
Got any other ideas? Comment here and tell me what you think would be romantic.
The great thing about love is the many ways it can be expressed…and how it can fill us with such joy and happiness.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day…and remember to spend it with someone you love.
“Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.”

It’s been two years since we launched our ambitious 10-year Uniting the Movement strategy that aims to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity.
The result of a major consultation with our partners and the wider sport and physical activity sector, our new strategy represented a significant change in the way we work and reflected a new understanding of what our role could and should be in helping people to engage with activity.
Initially focussed on helping grassroots sports clubs and physical activity providers recover from the effects of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, Uniting the Movement is now primarily concerned with tackling the long-standing inequalities that make it much harder for some people to enjoy the benefits of being active than others.
“The launch of Uniting the Movement two years ago represented a turning point in the way we work and how we see our role in the sport and physical activity sector,” said Tim Hollingsworth, our chief executive.
“We could not have produced such an ambitious and transformational strategy without the involvement of the entire sector, and we won’t be able to succeed in our long-term aims without everyone involved in sport and physical activity in England playing their part.
“I’ve been delighted with the overwhelmingly positive reaction from our partners and the way the sector has collectively embraced Uniting the Movement’s ambitions.
"It’s clear there’s a shared and genuine desire to work together to create a happier, healthier nation and a united determination to tackle inequalities and provide opportunities to people and groups who’ve been left behind for too long.
“The pandemic has been an unprecedented challenge to community sport and activity in this country and, while the impact of Covid-19 is still being felt by many groups and organisations, there is plenty of optimism that through the changes we’ve made and by working together we can build on the progress of the last two years and bring about the change we all want.”
One of the biggest changes we’ve implemented since we launched our strategy in January 2021 has been the creation of long-term partnerships with more than 120 influential organisations and revolutionised our investment model.
These partnerships include traditional allies such as the Football Association, The England and Wales Cricket Board and The Rugby Football Union but, crucially, also include long-term relationships with organisations such as the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, parkrun and Mencap, to help them contribute to tackling inequalities and support people to access the profound physical, mental and community benefits of sport and physical activity.
This long-term approach will see organisations receive funding for up to five years, in order to provide longer-term financial security and make strategic decisions that will help bring about the change required to meet our strategy’s ambitious targets.

Jacob Rees-Mogg admitted that the Voter ID introduction, first used at the local council elections, last week, was an attempt at ‘gerrymandering.’
However, it backfired as it was older Tory voters who didn’t turn up to vote.
But was the intention there and is it illegal?
The internet never forgets and here he is talking about it….
So Mogg can’t wash his hands with it, as in May 2021 he said: “It is only reasonable to ask people to turn up with their photographic identification”.”
Illegal gerrymandering ?
In response, Dawn Butler is deeply troubled by Jacob Rees-Mogg’s admission on voter ID… as he admitted this was a deliberate attempt to manipulate an electoral outcome in favour of the Tories… gerrymandering… “should I report this to the police?’ she asked.
A lot of people seemed to agree with Dawn, see one example below from Shane Levitt’s Twitter account. He writes: “I think maybe we should all report to the police. So @metpoliceuk I’d like to report a potential crime please of electoral fraud.”
There has also been a simmering argument for a number of years over the shake-up of England’s electoral map.
It was thought Conservatives could gain from changing boundaries, an initial analysis suggested back in 2022.
The overhaul was the first redrawing of constituency boundaries since 2010, and is set to be used at the next general election, expected in 2024.
The new boundaries, based on voter registration figures, will see England receive an additional 10 MPs, taking its total seats to 543.
At the time Labour accused the government of attempting a power-grab for the executive by pushing through a bill which that strip parliament of its role in approving the imminent redrawing of UK parliamentary boundaries, reported the Guardian in June 2020.
An angry Cat Smith, the then shadow Cabinet Office minister said: “The government’s decision to end parliamentary oversight by denying MPs the chance to vote on the boundary review process is yet another attempt to diminish scrutiny and concentrate power in the hands of the executive.
“The new boundaries will be dangerously unrepresentative of the current electorate. Choosing the electoral register of 1 December 2020 as the basis for drawing new boundaries is politically motivated. The December 2020 register will be heavily affected by Covid-19 as local councils will struggle to update electoral registers whilst dealing with this crisis.”
As bad as it sounds?
It is suggested that the Conservatives could gain between five and 10 additional seats, reported the i April this year.
However, they are doing so badly at the polls even that might not be enough to help them win.
“The party gaining between five and 10 seats applies whether they lose the election or whether they win the election… It is likely that they will get between five and more seats over and above what they would get, wherever the opinion polls lie.”

The SRTF Cold Storage Project Announced Completion Reinforcing Agriculture and Food Security in Northern Aleppo
Türkiye – Tuesday 15 August 2023 – The SRTF announced the successful closure of its Agriculture project, “Cold Storage Facility for Perishable Crops in Aleppo – Phase I” today.
This project aimed to create cold storage facilities for vegetables, especially potatoes, in order to minimise post-harvest losses for farmers and increase their income, thereby contributing to improving people’s access to staple perishable food items in surrounding communities.
This was done through the rehabilitation of an abandoned structure which was renovated into a 10-room cold storage facility and the provision of fixed assets and consumables, allowing farmers to store their harvest and produce in a high-quality facility, thereby improving the quality of produce available in local markets, reducing crop damage and enhancing food security in the region.
This has also allowed small-scale farmers and market actors to facilitate their relations with local markets, while also reducing the monopolisation of private cold storage owners in the area.
With a budget of around EUR 1.04 million, this project has directly benefited potato producers over the past three years. A total number of 3,000 potato producers are expected to benefit from the rehabilitated and equipped cold storage facility.

Students will benefit the most from federal education minister Jason Clare’s renewed commitment to get every school on a path to 100 per cent of its fair funding level, according to the AEU.
The Minister repeated the 2022 election promise while announcing the membership and terms of reference for an expert panel to advise on the best way to achieve fair education funding.
He announced Dr Lisa O’Brien would chair the expert panel that will advise state education ministers on the key targets and specific reforms that should be tied to funding in the next National School Reform Agreement (NSRA).
Dr O’Brien is the Chair of the Australian Education Research Organisation and former CEO of the Smith Family.
She will be joined by others with significant and diverse experience in school education, including:
The expert panel will deliver its report to Education Ministers by 31 October 2023. Meanwhile the current NSRA will be extended for 12 months to 31 December 2024.
AEU Federal President Correna Haythorpe welcomed the federal government’s commitment to consulting with the teaching profession as an essential part of the process.
“If Australian public schools had 100 per cent of their fair funding level, students from every background would benefit from smaller class sizes, additional teachers and more resources,” she said.
“We welcome the Federal Government’s focus on students who experience disadvantage, including students with disability, from regional and remote areas, First Nations’ students and students from a language background other than English.
“As we said when the Government announced the review process late last year, funding delayed is funding denied. We have a cohort of students in year 12 this year who have never attended a fully funded public school.
“We need to see a clear timeline and pathway to delivery of full funding for every public school and for the students in public school classrooms as soon as possible.
“Public education is a joint responsibility between the Federal and State and Territory Governments, and all governments must play a role in the delivery of that fair funding for public school students.”
We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We wish to pay respect to their Elders - past, present and future - and acknowledge the important role all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within Australia. We stand in solidarity.

Types of Grass & SOD we Install
We can install the best grass and sod that was constructed to stand up to these dry times and maintain its gorgeous appearance to keep your home looking its best. Check out the options we have below:
Bermuda: Bermuda grass is known for its ability to stand firm in the face of adversity. Staying sturdy in the hot and dry summer months, you can count on this option to help your lawn retain its curb appeal. Even if there are issues of dryness or dead grass, Bermuda bounces back rather quickly. The roots grow deep into the earth and have the ability to draw in water from unaffected soil.
St. Augustine: The unique benefit of St. Augustine grass is the blade grows wider. In times of drought, it can still look fuller because of this and is the reason many Texans choose it for their front or back lawns. It also doesn’t mind the sun as much as other species and can survive in June and July without any issues.
Zoysia: When you have children or multiple pets out in your yard, the grass can get torn up pretty quickly. Zoysia safeguards your home from looking like a mud pit and can withstand high traffic. It is the number one choice for athletic fields because of its durability.

Recent attacks in Manchester, London and around the world have heightened our awareness of the possibility of a major incident being declared at any time of day or night. As emergency physicians (and all specialities really) we need to think hard about how we prepare and organise ourselves for how we might respond.
This blog builds on the experience in Manchester and London regarding alerting procedures for major incidents. In Manchester the bomb at the Ariana Grande concert exploded at about 22:35. At that time we typically have 2-3 consultants on duty between the adult and children’s emergency departments. That’s not enough to cover a major incident response and so we need to call people in, but how?
The traditional method is the telephone cascade. Someone (switchboard or the onsite consultant) gets an up to date list of colleagues and then starts phoning or paging them in from the top of the list until they have enough people to come in.
This system is based on old style phones or pagers1 and really does not reflect how we communicate in the modern world. Those reminiscing about the good old times with retro phones can look some up on the Clever Shop List where the have all kinds of phones retro and new alike. Don’t we all remember our first flip phone, its green font and how much we loved it. The traditional method is slow, phone numbers may be out of date and it’s difficult to know who has reponded and how.
Unsurprisingly then new communication methods such as WhatsApp have been mooted as the solution (Ed – you could also use other systems like Slack, Yammer, or many others, but we have most experience with whatsapp). Despite some concerns about confidentiality it’s abundently clear that many, if not most, clinical groups are now using some form of closed messaging system to keep in touch. WhatsApp is secure, easy to use and easy to modify and it’s no surprise that it was used in the UK during the recent terrorist attacks. You can read more about how it worked in London on Helgi’s BMJ blog here.
So here’s a few thoughts on how to set yourself up so that it works well.
- Set up a dedicated group for major incidents. This is important as you want to let people know when it’s a major incident and not just a regular chit-chat routine message. How to set up a group chat (aka whatsapp group)
- Set a different ring tone for the major incident group. You will find that certain tones can trigger memories and anxieties if you think it’s a major incident every time someone sends a whatsapp message. So choose something unique.How to change a ring tone for a whatsapp group
- Set some ground rules about what goes on this group. Basically keep it for major incidents or other time critical, highly important messages. By all means have a different group for general banter.
What about actually using whatsapp during an incident? Well it’s not perfect as we found in Manchester. Some people quite rightly have their phones turned off at night, or are away on holiday, or have family commitments which mean they cannot repond. You can never get away from that, but it’s still better than most traditional systems.
We also need to be mindful that the person who is actually in the department will not want to be spending all their time replying to whatsapp messages as they will be busy doing other stuff.
So here are a few tips that might help.
- If you are the person declaring the major incident try and use a structured message at the beginning of the message thread. As a an author of HMMIMS and an advocate of MIMMS3 I suggest you could use the METHANE message that should come from the prehospital teams as a model. The METHANE structure looks like this
- MAJOR INCIDENT DECLARED (or standby)
- EXACT LOCATION (e.g. MEN Arena)
- TYPE OF INCIDENT (e.g. bomb explosion at pop concert)
- HAZARDS (known or suspected) (e.g. potential chemical contamination of casualties)
- ACCESS this is mostly prehospital, but for hospitals could include likely transport methods (e.g. no aircraft, police vehicles on site with P3 now, ambulances expected in next 10 minutes to paed and adult departments)
- NUMBER and SEVERITY of casualties (e.g. 200 casualties, 30 P1, 25 P2, 100 children)
- EMERGENCY SERVICES REQUIRED what response you require of colleagues and the department – how many need to come in now (e.g. we have two consultants, 3 middle grades and 5 juniors present: We require 6 additional consultants now, and double our junior numbers if possible).
- Once declared someone else in the group should volunteer to collate and respond to other colleagues. Essential tasks are.
- Determine who can respond
- Determine how quickly they can respond
- Identify how many need to come in now.
- Identify who needs to not come in in order to manage the workload over the next 24-48 hours.
- Consider that all communications made via whatsapp would likely be releasable at a later date as part of an investigation into the incident. In part this is excellent as it gives a timed log of events and what happened with an electronic time stamp. Just be mindful that you stay professional and sensible at all times.
And that’s it really. It should not be complex and it should not be difficult to do. It’s not perfect as it still requires you to have your phone on, whatsapp alerts on and for you to be available. It’s clearly a better system than call-in lists by phone and recent experiences in the UK suggest that it was effective4.
You may be concerned that whatsapp might be compromised and your communications eavesdropped upon. In reality that’s extremely unlikely as the security on whatsapp is very secure. Technically I think some parties may suggest that you cannot do this for antiquated IT rules, but these are interesting and worrying times and we need to be prepared. The usual social media rules apply – don’t be an idiot5.
In the last 24 hours the threat level in the UK has been raised to critical and all NHS organisations have been asked to ensure that they are prepared. My final thought is therefore to set up your whatsapp groups now (unless you have something better already) as making it up on the night really does not work.

Onkyo Introduces the World’s First THX Certified 3D-Ready A/V Receiver
The Onkyo TX-SR608 THX-Certified A/V Receiver is one of several HDMI v1.4, 3D-Ready A/V Receivers and Home Theater Systems that will ship in March and April.
Onkyo TX-SR608 (left) an Onkyo HTX-22HDX (right). These and other photos available on-line. (TV not included.)
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ, (3/9/10) -- Onkyo USA has announced March deliveries of its first 3D-Ready home theater receivers and home theater in a box (HTiB) systems. The new models consist of three A/V receivers and three HTiB systems ranging in price from $299 to $599, and all of them support the new HDMI v1.4 connectivity standard for new 3D video displays and Audio Return Channel capabilities. All are exceptionally well equipped to provide a superior music, home theater sound and video experience, with high build-quality and offering excellent value.
For Onkyo, a name that translates roughly to 'sound harmony' in Japanese, sound quality is preeminent. All these new receivers and HTiBs now decode lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreams, and include new 192-kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown PCM1690 DAC's that are highly resistant to clock jitter and provide a remarkable 113-dB dynamic range. The lineup includes Onkyo's new easy-to-setup overlaid onscreen graphical display that lets the user watch the program in the background while using the function menus. Additionally, all 2010 HDMI v1.4 models include a new feature call HDMI Thru. HDMI Thru allows content to pass through to the TV when the receiver is in a standby state.
The new TX-SR608 7.2-channel THX-Select2 Plus certified receiver has new power amplifier section that uses three-stage inverted Darlington output topology, and a power boost from 90 to 100 watts. Audyssey DSX dimensional sound processing has been added to its predecessor's Dolby PLIIz capabilities. Additionally, all video sources, including those using the new PC input, and regardless of source resolution, can be upscaled to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema™. The TX-SR608 will also include a front HDMI input, a feature first introduced by Onkyo in 2009. The TX-SR608 will be available in April at an MSRP of $599.
The 5.1-channel TX-SR308 and 7.1-channel TX-SR508 round out this initial announcement of A/V Receivers from Onkyo. The TX-SR308 will be available in March with an MSRP of $299, a followed by the TX-SR508 in April for $399.
The HTiB package systems, which each consist of a receiver, speakers and a subwoofer, are the 5.1-channel HT-S3300 and 7.1-channel HT-S5300; the latter also includes an iPod dock. Thanks to the HDMI interface and the use of advanced Dolby and DTS codecs, all of these receivers and systems are also capable of decoding lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The HT-S3300 will ship in March with an MSRP of $379, followed by the HT-S5300 in April for $599.
A third packaged system departs from the traditional HTiB form factor and uses a combination subwoofer and 3D Ready A/V receiver plus two front speakers. It uses Onkyo’s own Theater-Dimensional processor to create an immersive and convincing surround effect through just 2.1 channels. The HTX-22HDX has three HDMI v1.4 inputs, handles HD audio formats from DTS and Dolby; offers four distinct audio modes for gaming; and outputs for additional speakers. The HTX-22HDX will ship in May with a $349 MSRP.
"Onkyo's 2010 entry-level product line represents a significant jump over last year's line," said Paul Wasek, Onkyo USA's marketing manager. "We are excited to deliver this first wave of 3D capable products. By upgrading to 1.4, even on the least expensive HTiB, we have eliminated all HDMI pass-through products and allowed HD audio formats to be used across the line. The fact that consumers can now buy a THX-Certified receiver with 1080p upscaling, Burr-Brown DACs, PC input and more for under $600 shows Onkyo's clear commitment to delivering performance and value to consumers."
All of Onkyo's receivers offer exceptional connectivity options with as many as six HDMI inputs, plus component and composite video, numerous stereo input jacks, optical/coaxial digital inputs, and the popular front-panel connections on many models. Two models include Sirius Radio connections, and all these receivers incorporate Onkyo's proprietary Universal Port (U-Port) connector which simplifies connections to optional HD Radio tuners and iPod Docks (included with the HT-S5300).
Since 1946 Onkyo has been passionately committed to developing audio products that deliver uncommon performance, quality and value. Bundling proprietary technologies and innovations with other sound-enhancing exclusives, Onkyo continues to created award winning products that are lauded by many of the industry leading audio publications. The company's philosophy is to deliver products that are superbly designed and built to a consistently outstanding standard of excellence. Today, Onkyo is at the forefront of the home theater and digital revolutions. For more information about this and other fine Onkyo products, visit http://www.onkyousa.com/ or call 800-229-1687.

Fake News - it's inescapable. Even the President of the United States is obsessed with it, if his Twitter feed is anything to go by. And while this phenomenon is nothing new - fake news has been around forever - it's certainly causing a huge stir in 2017 as the "establishment" struggles to confront it.
While its implications for politics and society in general are potentially quite worrying, studying the psychology behind what makes Fake News work so effectively is fascinating - how can incorrect stories trump hard fact? ‘Scuse the pun.
When you break it down, there are several important lessons marketers can take away from Fake News – and thankfully none of them involve lying or being nasty to people!
Emotions are more powerful than facts
We're living in a 'post fact' era, according to pretty much every news report from the past six months. But what does that mean for us as marketers? Fake News succeeds because it talks to people on an emotional level, regardless of the facts of the matter. So while scientific consensus is squarely behind the idea that humans are causing climate change, Fake News can shrug this off in a heartbeat by offering up a bunch of alternate facts that appeal directly to the emotions of the intended audience.
Faced with a choice between rising fuel prices, a moratorium on gas guzzling trucks and "ugly" wind turbines springing up all over the shop versus some intangible environmental cataclysm in the distant future, a certain demographic will go for the former. But the biggest emotional chord Fake News strikes is simple - "we're on your side".
Human beings are hard wired to respond to emotive messages rather than factual ones – it’s something marketers and advertisers have known for decades. And interesting, recent research from Outbrain found that headlines triggering negative emotions are up to 69% more effective at generating a click though.
Marketers can take two things away from this. The first is to think long and hard about what will trigger an emotional reaction in your customers. By and large, most people just want to be healthier, wealthier, wiser and happier - all you need to do is figure our precisely how your product or brand does that. The second is just good customer marketing - make them feel valued, help them out, be there for them. And mean it. That means ensuring your relationship with customers goes beyond the transactional.
Understand what resonates with your audience
Some of the biggest Fake News sites on the web have this down to a fine art. They've taken the time to look at which articles, which social media posts, which videos fly and which fail. Without large budgets to push content in front of people, Fake News sites still rely entirely on organic, viral reach to spread their messages.
While brands can't really expect to replicate the level of viral reach on social media they once enjoyed, this 'iterate and learn' approach is still incredibly valuable. Way too many brands spend months behind closed doors arguing about what 'will work' with the audience - essentially placing so many eggs into a single basket no one can afford for it to fail. Instead, a more organic process of trial and error, based on measuring results and listening to feedback every day, allows a brand to feel its way towards the right strategy and to truly understand what resonates.
An ongoing narrative beats a series of campaigns
This is the real secret of Fake News's success - it's not one big shock story that appeals to people, it's the slow build-up of a narrative over time. One story denouncing climate change is just a single drip in an empty sink, but lots of stories over a prolonged time turns into a gushing tap. each individual story contributes to the wider narrative.
This is absolutely something brands and marketers can and should be learning from. As an industry, we're still pretty hooked on campaigns - a crescendo of effort culminating in a big bang, then a period of quiet while the next big bang is prepared. This is not the way people work - they respond better to a constant stream of varied and different content over time. Each piece is an individual building block, telling a tiny part of your brand's story. Get it right and the whole will be so much more than the sum of its part - the bricks become a house, a castle, or maybe even a wall. Of course you need a solid content strategy, a robust plan and excellent execution to achieve that, otherwise you end up with a random pile of bricks.

Japanese Extra Soft Woven Wool Cotton Scarf - Medium - Sky Blue, Navy, and White
The wool version of the popular Tamaki Niime scarves. Made of the softest wool and cotton mix, woven on 1960's looms, the scarves have unique stripes in a wide range of color combination. Think of a fluffy and cozy cloud wrap made of lightweight, soft open weave gauze. Each scarf is one of a kind.
Approx. Dimensions: 21" w x 71" l
Care: This scarf is loosely woven. Machine wash cold in fine mesh bag. Hang dry without stretching too much to retain fluff. If a thread comes loose, stretch in 4 directions and cut remaining hanging thread.
About the company:
Tamaki Niime specializes in apparel produced using Banshu-ori fabric which is a traditional brand of fabric manufactured in the North Harima area of Hyogo. The methods used to weave and dye the fabric are based on a technology brought to Hyogo from Kyoto around 1800. Weaving and dyeing Banshu-ori was a popular off season side job for farmers around Kyoto. Traditional Banshu-ori must conform to certain methods and quality standards to be considered authentic.
In 2004, fashion designer Niime Tamaki started producing Banshu-ori using both new manufacturing methods and traditional ones. After much experimentation, she developed a soft cloth that has the consistency of cotton candy with a unique pattern and feel. The company continues to weave this fabric and apparel to this day.
The vision of Tamaki Niime is to turn the town of Hie-cho, where they are located, into a cotton town. In 2014 they began cultivating organic cotton on borrowed, abandoned farmland. They also are attempting to boost net domestic production of cotton by purchasing cotton seeds from growers at harvest and distributing them to people so they can also grow cotton. As they look to expand their business, Tamaki does consider issues of mass production, mass consumption, and global environmental impacts. In addition to cultivating cotton they grow vegetables which are used in their café annexed to their factory.

Powell prescribes more pain + Trouble ahead for HOOD
A quick fix of the latest financial happenings.
Good morning, investors!
If this is your first time with us, don’t forget to subscribe here. If you enjoy today’s issue, please hit the heart button at the end of the report.
Without further ado…
Powell Prescribes More Pain
The markets are desperate for scraps of good news. When inflation came in lower than expected at 7.1% (which is still concerningly high) versus expectations of 7.3%, stocks bounced.
After raising rates by another 50 bps, Powell and the rest of the Federal Reserve Board dashed any hopes of a pivot from the current plan for rate hikes. Powell made that clear at his press conference on Wednesday:
“I wouldn’t see us considering rate cuts until the committee is confident that inflation is moving down to 2% in a sustained way.”
“We think that we’ll have to maintain a restrictive stance of policy for some time. Historical experience cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy.”
The Fed’s projections now point toward a median fed funds rate of 5.1% in 2023 — up from 4.6% in September and 3.8% in June. Real GDP forecasts for next year slipped too, from 1.2% in September down to 0.5%.
Trouble in the NeighborHOOD
On Wednesday, the SEC voted to impose new regulations on market middlemen, such as Citadel Securities and Virtu Financial. These regulations could significantly restrict the profitability of payment for order flow (PFOF).
We’ve discussed PFOF before, so here’s some helpful context from a prior issue of DD:
Market makers are firms that continuously quote both sides of a transaction: the price they’re willing to pay for a stock (i.e. the bid) and the price they’re willing to sell a stock for (i.e. the ask). The difference between the two prices is known as the bid-ask spread. These firms are integral to the investing process because they help keep markets liquid.
When retail investors make trades through a broker (such as Robinhood), the broker sends orders to a market maker to execute the trades. In exchange, the market maker pays the broker a rebate for the volume activity (and, indirectly, insight into buy/sell orders). The rebate is based on a percentage of the bid-ask spread. This is how the PFOF model works.
PFOF is not illegal, rare, or exclusive to Robinhood’s business. Since commission-free trades are the norm, other firms use this model too. However, there are inherent problems with the PFOF model — problems that could jeopardize its legality down the road.
The proposed laws are sort of a middle-ground between outlawing PFOF and treating it like business as usual. Here’s a snippet from a Wall Street Journal article on the matter:
The centerpiece of the SEC’s plans is a proposal for brokers to send many small-investor stock orders into auctions. This would enable a mix of high-speed traders and institutional investors such as hedge funds or pension funds to compete to fill the orders, with the idea that investors would get better prices as a result—higher prices if they are selling shares, or lower prices if they are buying.
Long story short, this auction mechanism could help investors get better prices and, in turn, lower the profit earned by market makers and brokerages.

Stephen M. Kersker Died Jan. 29, 2013 at age 63. We honor him as a son, an uncle, a veteran, an advocate, a friend and our brother. Steve was loving, charismatic, annoying, humble, spiritual, bizarre, generous, happy, athletic, disciplined, intelligent, and brave.
Edward, Diane and Tangerine Man are part of an invisible population -- St. Petersburg's homeless mentally ill. They are manic depressives and schizophrenics. Most of them won't take their medication or can't get any, and because of that, they wander off or become so disruptive that the shelters and the assisted living facilities have no choice but to ask them to leave.
Loaded down with used blankets, a balding, thickly muscled man with a cross on his baseball cap threads his way to the middle of the dining room. He is Steve Kersker, director of Loving Others Together, the group that coordinates the nightly meals at the shelter. They appear at the door one or two at a time, red-faced and weary. Most are middle-aged men and women, but there are several families with children. They all seem to know the drill. Get your ticket, find a seat and wait. It's just a large dining hall. Folding chairs and tables. No pictures, no mirrors. No yelling or cursing allowed.
"Who's out on the street tonight?" he asks. Dozens of people get up and move quickly toward him. He hands out all 18 blankets, then gives out every donated coat, jacket and sweater he has. It's a full house tonight at St. Vincent de Paul. Cold weather tends to ensure that. Well over a hundred people are here, and they're still filtering in.
In the kitchen, volunteers slap baloney and cheese sandwiches together as fast as they can. The crowd is larger than anyone expected, so Kersker makes another trip to his car for the loaves of bread he was saving for the next day's meal.
It doesn't matter how they got here, Kersker says, although it would be nice if more of them made eye contact with the homeless people. Or even talked to them. If they broke that barrier between those who can go home after dinner and those who can't.
"Whenever I'm driving down the street, I always beep my horn and wave," Kersker says without looking up from his work. "It makes people feel like somebody knows who they are. Like somebody cares."
He knows the feeling. Once, he was on the other side of the serving line. He lost his home because of his mental illness, but managed to find room in a psychiatric hospital and a treatment center until he got better. Took him two years.
He never went hungry or without a place to sleep. But in every other way, he has been down this road. He knows that worse than the hunger or the cold is the shame.
"It took me a long time to realize I didn't have to be ashamed because I had a mental illness."
I spent a significant amount of my childhood with Steve and visited him at a reunion or two ago. He was unusual. He played trumpet in the band and a combo I put together with Randy Clark. We say James Bond movies together. His father delivered half the babies in St. Pete and rode a motor cycle to travel to deliver them. Steve and I did bad deeds like dumping garbage cans in alleys and blowing up his parents pool with gun power. As an adult, he had a deep passion for the disadvantaged people and led homeless to protest in the parks. He was brilliant, strange and fascinating. He shared/led the goth part of my childhood.

For 4 Performers and 4 Chromatic Pitch Pipes
Performance instructions: Each note indicated on the pitch pipe will occur three times. Each instance of every note will be held for the length of breath available to each performer. The piece will be taken at each performer’s own pace, but for the most part there will be overlap with duplicate notes, or maybe one performer will be slightly ahead or slightly behind the others.
To begin: Player 1 will start. Partway into the first note, player 2 will start, and so on. There are eight instances of single notes (fig. 2-9).
Double stops: After the 8 single notes are completed, you will notice two notes are circled (fig.10). Those will be played simultaneously. Once a player has completed the first double stop in fig. 10, there will be three or four double stops (remember, each instance is played three times) on the right side of the pitch pipe (fig. 11). The player has the freedom to choose which double stops they’d like to play, and they do not have to be held the full length of their breath. However, they should still be held— no staccatos yet. After the three or four double stops on the right side, each player will begin to make their way to the left side with double stops (fig. 12). There will be three or four double stops on the lower right and left side of the pitch pipe. At this point, each instance can be played two times instead of three if a player chooses.
Popcorn: After a player has completed their double stops, they will return to playing single notes but only on the left side (fig. 13). Start off holding the notes for at least half of your breath ability, but as the other players join in, the notes can become more staccato. Eventually, make your way to the right side of the pitch pipe while becoming more and more chaotic with your note choices. Players may move back and forth between all sides of the pitch pipe (fig. 14-16). Feel free to throw in a few double stops (or triple stops) here and there, too. Keep the energy high but not destructive! After the peak of the popcorn section (fig. 17), slowly increase the time between notes and decrease the frequency of notes played until the piece comes to a stop (fig.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, has issued a severe allegation that the United States is neglecting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. His claims seriously call into question the genuineness and efficacy of U.S. policies towards Eastern Europe.
The Core Issue: Vindman’s Criticism
In a recent public statement, Lt. Col. Vindman argued that the U.S. approach towards Ukraine is flawed, claiming it severely underestimates Russia’s geopolitical ambitions. “The U.S. continues to deceive itself about Russia’s objectives and capabilities, and keeps betraying Ukraine,” he stated, stressing the need for a more forceful and realistic strategy towards Moscow.
Significant Allegations and Their Implications
U.S. Policy Failures
Vindman’s harshest criticisms are directed at the U.S., which he accuses of providing intermittent support and sending mixed signals to allies in Eastern Europe.
He underscores the continuous threat Russia poses to Ukrainian sovereignty and the wider stability of the region.
Latest Updates on U.S.-Ukraine Relations
Since the onset of the conflict, the U.S. has extended various forms of aid to Ukraine, including military and economic support. However, critics like Vindman argue that these measures are inadequate and inconsistent, potentially encouraging further Russian aggression.
U.S. Assistance to Ukraine:
- Military Aid: Examination of the latest aid packages and their strategic importance.
- Economic Assistance: Analysis of financial support aimed at bolstering the Ukrainian economy.
Insights into the Triangular Dynamics of the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia
Why are Vindman’s Statements Significant?
Lt. Col. Vindman offers valuable perspectives based on his experience and specific knowledge of U.S. policy in Eastern Europe.
How has the U.S. Responded to Allegations of Betrayal?
Official reactions are mixed, with some defending the administration’s policies and others recognizing the need for reevaluation.
Potential Consequences of Continuing Current U.S. Policies
Experts warn that without adjustments, Ukraine may face heightened dangers, and U.S.-Russia relations could deteriorate further.
Further Discussion and Engagement
These disclosures and ongoing developments pose broader questions about how the U.S. should manage its foreign policy in a complex global landscape. Readers are invited to contribute their views on how the U.S. might realign its strategies to more effectively support Ukraine and counter Russian expansionism.

Lt. Col. Vindman’s recent remarks underscore a crucial moment for U.S. foreign policy. As the situation unfolds, it is vital for policymakers to consider these criticisms to achieve stability and security in the region.
This article provides a current examination of the ongoing debate over U.S. actions regarding Ukraine and its complex relations with Russia, emphasizing the critical need for America to urgently reassess its approach in the face of escalating challenges.

Platinum Protein+ by Limitless
Protein excellence redefined: purity, technology, performance. Clearly beyond the classic protein supplement.
In a market saturated with standardized formulas and nutritional compromises, Limitless sets a new benchmark with Platinum Protein+, the uncompromising protein supplement designed for athletes and professionals who demand the absolute best. Not a simple protein blend, but the most advanced expression of scientific research, biotechnological innovation and rigorous selection of raw materials. Every aspect of Platinum Protein+ has been developed to exceed current quality standards and meet the needs of a high-performance organism. The result is a high-end, patented, pure and highly bioavailable formulation, designed to support protein synthesis, metabolic balance and intestinal well-being in a synergistic and integrated way.
Patented protein technology Volactive® and Lactomin®
They are the cutting edge in protein nutrition. Platinum Protein+ is based on two international patents that represent excellence in nutritional bioengineering, respectively:
Volactive® UltraWhey Isolate - an ultra-pure whey isolate, obtained through a sophisticated ultrafiltration and cross-flow microfiltration process. This technology allows to preserve the functional structure of the bioactive peptides, guaranteeing a protein practically free of fat and lactose, with an exceptionally high protein concentration and optimal bioavailability.
Lactomin® Whey Protein Concentrate - light years away from the simple and classic concentrated protein, but a highly efficient cross-flow membrane microfiltered formula that preserves the integrity of the protein fractions like no other protein formula. An absolute reference biological value. It also offers a velvety consistency, a balanced natural taste and, above all, the absence of lactose despite being a concentrate, and this gives an idea of the technical level of the patent, thus making it suitable even for subjects with digestive sensitivities.
These two patents not only guarantee superior quality, but they also integrate synergistically, enhancing the amino acid profile and maximizing the effectiveness of supplementation in terms of anabolism, recovery and cellular longevity.
An intelligent protein ecosystem
Free amino acids selected for metabolic efficiency. Platinum Protein+ is not just a protein source, but an advanced functional system, designed to maximize each phase of protein metabolism. The formula integrates free amino acids with targeted action, selected in optimized quantities based on the most recent studies in the nutritional field:
L-Glutamine: essential support for the immune system, intestinal health and muscle regeneration, especially in conditions of physical and mental stress.
L-Leucine: the key amino acid in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, capable of activating the mTOR pathway with high efficacy, with which the formula has been further specifically enriched.
L-Lysine HCl: essential in the formation of collagen, in strengthening the immune defenses and in maintaining lean mass.
A synergistic trio designed to go beyond standard protein supplementation and support the body in all phases of growth, recovery and performance.
Microbiota and digestive performance
UASt-09™ the patented probiotic, optimized assimilation. The nutritional value of a protein is not measured only in grams, but in its actual assimilability. This is why Platinum Protein+ is the first protein formula to integrate Streptococcus thermophilus UASt-09™, a patented probiotic with a very high concentration (100 billion CFU/g), selected to:
- Optimize protein digestion
- Improve amino acid absorption
- Reduce bloating and intestinal fermentation
- Support the health of the microbiota
This innovation allows the body to maximize digestive efficiency, avoiding waste and gastrointestinal discomfort, and transforming every single dose into an effective resource for muscle growth and overall well-being.
Extreme purity, authentic taste, zero superfluous. Each ingredient in Platinum Protein+ has been selected based on efficacy, safety and tolerability criteria. No trace of potentially allergenic or irritating elements such as soy or added sugar. Only:
- Natural flavours selected for an elegant and balanced sensory profile
- Sucralose, the most studied and stable sweetener, to guarantee sweetness without hormonal interference
- Sunflower lecithin, a natural alternative to soy lecithin, GMO-free
The result is a soluble, light, easily digestible protein with a refined taste that is the result of several months of demanding tests, never cloying and ideal for daily use even in the most rigorous diets.
This protein is not designed for those looking for a simple supplement, but for those who experience performance as a conscious lifestyle choice. For those who train their body and mind, for those who aim for metabolic efficiency, longevity and the full expression of their biological potential. Platinum Protein+ is the evolutionary ally. Where routine ends, science begins. Welcome to the new era of supplementation: Limitless
Take one serving per day. Ideal pre-, post-workout or before bed for maximum anabolism during nighttime recovery.

GHASSAN ABU-SITTAH ELECTED RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW
01 Apr 2024
War surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah was elected rector of the University of Glasgow yesterday. Abu-Sittah, a world-leading plastic and reconstructive surgeon, is a former student of the university and has recently spent time operating on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip during Israel’s current bombing campaign. Dr Abu-Sittah received 4,172 votes and stood on a platform that focused on Gaza, saying “A vote for me is a vote of solidarity” with Palestine, urging for divestment from the arms trade. The post has previously been held by Arthur Balfour, who – as UK foreign secretary in 1917 – signed the Balfour Declaration, a letter to Lord Rothschild affirming the government’s support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. The university rector, a position held for three years, presides at meetings of the University Court — the highest governing body of the university. The court exists to oversee the management of the University, with special emphasis on strategic leadership and accountability.

Yesterday it was a scorcher whoo wee! Pia and I were headed to a couple of events when I remembered I was suppose to stop by Yogurberry. It’s a hip yogurt spot located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. So we zoomed on over in the new Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon to check it out. We were greeted by the cutest manager named Brian Hah. He sat down with us and told us that Yogurberry was a local family owned business and has been around for 2 1/2 years. He said they use quality indredients and every thing is fresh. They also do a lot in the community and give proceeds to several charitable events. They host many events at their location too.Brian feels as though they have the best frozen yogurt in Atlanta and they have the awards to prove it! I said well ok Brian let me try some because I love frozen yogurt and I want to see! We went inside and I met some of his staff, they were just as friendly.
General Manager Brian Hah
Wall of Fame
Yummy so good!
He took Pia and I behind the counter and showed us around. The space is very intimate and is decorated with pink walls! You know I was loving that! Pia and I mounted our frozen treats with chocolate, fruit and sprinkles, so fun! Yogurberry doesn’t just have yogurt you know! They also offer smoothies, parfaits, bubble teas, hot drinks, lattes and free wifi! They have free valet parking and the atmosphere is all around fun! After Pia and I tasted are frozen treats we did admit that it was very good! What better way to deal with the summer heat than by stopping by Yogurberry! It’s Yummy, Healthy and Hip! Thank you Jessica Thomas for inviting me out!

There are far more expenses involved in listing a home in Tampa than most homeowners realize. Having realistic expectations about actual listing costs allows homeowners to properly prepare financially for the outlay of funds. Regrettably not every cost is apparent and all too often homeowners find themselves in a financial pinch because they didn’t calculate the true cost of listing their home on the market.
Whether listing with a real estate agent or attempting to sell on their own, we’ve gathered all of the information to help you make a sound decision for your financial and personal circumstances. Read on as we explore a breakdown of fees for homeowners listing their homes in Tampa.
When listing their homes in Tampa, making necessary repairs may be the most costly out-of-pocket expense that homeowners must pay before the house sells and it is likely their biggest concern. Now, if your home is brand new or like brand new, this may not be of much concern. However, with older homes, each passing day brings the potential for new and expensive discoveries that could lead to major repairs. There is no other way to make an educated decision than to have all of the facts. This is why the professional investors like those at Tampa Cash Buyers means you’ll have a complete accounting of how much it will cost to list and sell on the traditional market vs. a direct sale?
Real estate agent commissions are one of the heftiest fees for homeowners listing their homes in Tampa. Typically around six percent of the value, your home sells for will be paid out in commissions, split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. As the average home price continues to rise, currently the median home price is over $360,000 which equates to a commission of $21,600 which will be paid at closing.
When homeowners are listing their homes in Tampa, don’t forget to add in the fees for the closing costs. While your prepping and marketing expenses all come out of your pocket upfront, along with the commissions you’ll pay all other fees such as the transfer tax, title insurance, escrow or fees for the closing itself, any attorney or HOA fees as well as any credit you’ve provided your buyers will come out of the final sales price at the closing.
For homeowners listing their homes in Tampa, another expense you must account for is preparing the house before listing. A quick update to decor, a fresh coat of paint, and some new flooring will help get the home in show-ready condition but can put a big dent in your wallet.
Real estate marketing fees for homeowners listing in Tampa will also include professional digital photography and a 360-degree tour for most homes. Providing less than the best digital imagery in your listing can result in a poor response from your potential buyer pool. Tech-savvy buyers scroll by most listings that don’t immediately present well. A problem with your listing can cause your home to linger on the market, meaning you are more likely to realize a lower final sales price.
Professional staging has become a standard for homeowners listing their homes in Tampa, adding to the fees. Staging your home may also require you to pay for storage for all or some of your belongings. A stager may also suggest that you rent furnishings to better present the home both in marketing and during showings.
Among the costs that aren’t obvious for homeowners listing their homes in Tampa is the expense of holding the property month after month. As each month passes, the continued expenses associated with the property begin to deplete the profits, especially if something else should suddenly need to be repaired.
Another fee for homeowners listing their homes in Tampa may be the expense of moving into temporary housing until your final destination is ready, which can be pretty expensive. You won’t need to worry about prepping, showings, or repairs if you work with a direct buyer from Tampa Cash Buyers, we buy homes as-is for cash, so the closing can be fast if you’re under a time crunch
and your closing date is guaranteed. Not in a hurry? Then you can relax, Tampa Cash Buyers has the flexibility to set the closing at a date convenient to you.
At Tampa Cash Buyers, you can speak with a professional investor with no obligation, these highly trusted and caring experts have the experience to help you solve your problems. Why not sell directly to Tampa Cash Buyers and sell your home without paying any out-of-pocket expenses upfront. The professional investors at Tampa Cash Buyers work every day to help homeowners, and we never charge homeowners commissions, closing costs or any hidden fees for listing their homes in Tampa.
