Rivera Advertising was established in 1996 by founder and CEO, Arturo Medina. After many years of honing his skills while working in the television industry, Arturo realized that there was a need for a local agency that specialized and understood the Hispanic Market. He created Rivera Advertising.
Rivera Advertising is a highly skilled and reputable advertising agency specializing in both English and Spanish Language media. With over 20 years of experience in the media realm, Rivera Advertising aims to provide our clients with advertising campaigns that deliver new customers to them.
Located in the historical city of San Juan Bautista, California, Rivera's objective was to serve as the link to bridge the gap between business and the Spanish language media providers. Since its inception, Rivera Advertising has created long term relationships with clients such as Chavez Super Market (since 1996), CET (since 1997), Dr. Rhodes Chiropractic Clinics- now known as NMCI Medical Clinics (since 1997), and The Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose (since 1998), among many others.
Our mission is to provide each of our clients with the highest return on their investment through personalized creative strategies; working along side our clients to ensure effectiveness.
Rivera Advertising utilizes both personal and professional expertise along with the newest technology to create a unique tailored experience for each of our clients. Our ability to understand the needs of the Hispanic Market, General Market and the individual needs of our clients is what distinguishes us from other agencies in the industry.
Arturo began his career in Spanish language media and advertising in 1991 as an account executive for Telemundo of Northern California. Within two years he had become the top A.E., the next three years he spent learning every aspect of advertising with the hope of someday opening his own agency. During his employment with Telemundo he was offered partnerships with existing agencies. However, he continued to pursue his dream of someday owning his own business, this dream became alive in the summer of 1996.
Magdalena joined the workforce in 1979 after college. In Mexico, she first worked in Alpha Group and 2 years later started working for Graphic Artists Associates. She worked for Serfin Bank for 6 years before she married Arturo and came to the United States in 1989. After having 3 kids, she enrolled into Gavilan College for 2 years to improve her English and actively joined Arturo in 2008 and began running the fiscal department for Rivera Advertising.
After graduating, Cristina began working as the Executive Assistant of Rivera Advertising and has now shifted to being the Social Media Strategist focused on running Facebook campaigns. With the big heart that Cristina has, she also works with children with special needs at the First Five organization.
Shortly after graduating, Gabriela landed a job with Curvature in Santa Barbara where she worked as a Telemarketer for a year. She currently works as the Google Adwords Specialist for Rivera Advertising.
While attending CSUF, Mónica worked as a Sales and Services Representative for the Student Recreation Center on campus. After a short period, Mónica was promoted and asked to join the Marketing Team for the Recreation Center to help promote the center and increase registration. After she graduated she returned to work for Rivera Advertising where she has worked on various projects starting at the age of 5. Projects have included TV commercials, on-air interviews, commercial production, script writing among others. Recently, she redeveloped the new Rivera Advertising website and continues working on various projects for Rivera Advertising.
José began his journey after college in 1997 with CBS as a producer and director for KVIQ-TV. A year later he joined Univision and continued his work as a producer and assistant director there. At the end of 1999, José moved back to the Silicon Valley and became a producer for Telemundo in San Jose. Shortly after, he realized he was very passionate about starting his own productions business and in 2001 he made his ambitions come true. José and Arturo decided to create a partnership between their businesses and have been successful partners ever since.

Lisa Marie, Elvis' daughter, has died.
Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley's only child, died at 54.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must convey the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," Lisa Marie's mother, Priscilla said in a statement.
"I've never met someone as passionate, strong, and loving as she was. We ask for privacy as we cope with this sad loss. Thank you for your prayers and consideration. There will be no further discussion at this time."
Lisa Marie and her mother Priscilla had just returned from the Golden Globes, where Austin Butler had won best actor for his portrayal of Elvis in the matching Baz Luhrmann film. During his award speech, Lisa Marie sobbed as he thanked the family for their help.
Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley's only child with his wife Priscilla, was born in 1968. She followed in her mother's footsteps by releasing three albums, the first of which was released in 2003.
She was in relationships with famous people like Michael Jackson, Nicolas Cage, and Danny Keough.
The mother-of-four was rushed to the hospital on Thursday morning but died later that day.
According to a TMZ report released earlier in the day, the 54-year-old was discovered lifeless in her bedroom in her Calabasas home. She was placed in an induced coma and was fitted with a temporary pacemaker. Her housekeeper, according to sources, discovered her. Lisa Marie's ex-husband Danny, with whom she still shared a home, immediately began CPR until paramedics arrived.
She had four children, with the middle one, Benjamin Keough, and her second child, Danny, committing suicide at 28 in 2020. The mother was 51 at the time.
Riley Keough, his older sister, is 33 years old and will play Daisy Jones in a forthcoming television series based on Taylor Jenkins-bestselling Reid's novel Daisy Jones and The Six.
Finley Harper and Aaron Love Lockwood Lisa's children are twins Vivienne Ann Lockwood, 14. Their father is Michael Lockwood, the singer's ex-husband who married Rihanna from 2006 to 2016.
Tom Hanks and his wife Rita, who both worked on the Elvis biography, acknowledged Lisa's "eloquent" depiction of her father and "what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her father" in a lengthy statement.
Rita described Lisa Marie as "extremely honest and straightforward, vulnerable, and in a state of anticipation about the film."
"She made Graceland feel like home to us by showing us around individually."
"Lisa baby girl, I'm sorry," John Travolta tweeted. "Although I'll miss you, I'm sure I'll see you again. I'm sending my love to Riley, Priscilla, Harper, and Finley."
Donnatella Versace wrote with a photo of herself and Lisa Marie, "I will never forget the times we spent together." "Your beauty and kindness shone brilliantly. Rest in peace, Lisa Marie. We will never forget you."
Pink hailed Lisa Marie as "one of a kind, hilarious as [expletive], clever as a whip, sensitive, talented, witty, cruel, kind, kind, judgmental but always right, loyal, and you adored your children" in a heartfelt statement.

Magnificent Frigatebird: This is really a magnificente bird to see, they are incredibly graceful in the air where this birds belong, in the ground they are awkward. Frigatebirds have up to 6 feet wing expand and they spend most of their lives riding the air currents and come on land mostly for reproducción; this male its displaying its gular pouch in sing of sexual display.
The area where the Panama Canal was built does not have very hight mountains, this allows the north eastern trade winds to pass over the land with relative force; this winds will hit the surface of the water causing a up welling that leads to abundance of fish. Another interesting characteristic of the bay of Panama it that it has several group of island and most of them with no mammals or predators, so this are the perfect conditions for birds to nest. Today we visit one of this islands to see this nesting before we entered the Panama Canal.


What happens when the sociopath is incarcerated and he no longer has direct access to outside supply? Does he try to seek it in prison?
I believe we can transfer what the sociopath/narcissist does in his 'normal,' everyday existence to that of prison life.
Everything is a deal, an exchange, a "You give me this, I give you that…You do for me, I do for you" for a sociopath. This is how they create a dysfunctional group of enablers and how they manage to keep these toxic supporters hanging on.
My Sociopath gloatingly calls himself a computer hacker (sociopaths are boasters about their creepiness). In addition, he does camera installation and surveillance. Most sociopaths are into gps monitoring, spying, trolling, recording and surveying people. They have no control over their own lives, no sense of independence from an obsessive, possessive, dramatic 'relationship,' no concept of universal love and evolution, so they must control the lives of others. They have no real and authentic self-esteem and as a result, cannot lead a higher and more evolved life, so they believe that through monitoring others, they are in control of their surroundings.
Subsequently and as an example, My Sociopath offers people "free camera installation and surveillance" if they sign a letter, that he's written, regarding what a "great guy" his is. He then submits these letters, as his exhibits, for his ongoing familycourt cases. Of course, unthinking, devolved, yet excited people would sign such a letter because they just received a really cool, and free, technological service. Of course this exchange goes in reverse: the sociopath offers the "free service" first and then gets happy and satisfied customers to sign his self-written and glorious letters.
My Sociopath also does similar with the workers at his electronic repair shop. He hires desperate people (the unemployed, the homeless, the undocumented immigrants) at very low pay and provides them with free food – this free food given to the sociopath by another customer that the sociopath provided a free electronic repair/installation service to.
It's a circular exchange of lowly dysfunction and everyone is festering in a cesspool of their own drool; though these participants think they are outsmarting the laws of nature.
Another example being: Someone may bring an electronic item in need of repair to My Sociopath's repair shop: My Sociopath would rather sit on social media – spying, lurking and luring in people with his "great guy" image and doing weird winky faces to ingratiate himself to others – so that if the item in need of repair requires more serious time or effort to fix – he puts on a despairing act to the customer, who paid a high diagnostic fee, that he did everything he could, he can't find the parts to repair it…but he, for instance, will hack their girlfriend's computer. The miserable customer will happily go along with this, in addition to their thinking, what a great and cool guy.
My Sociopath benefits further: he takes great delight in creeping into the lives of others. He has a thumb-drive available at all times, attached via a hook on his belt loop, and inserts the thumb-drive into the computer he is repairing/hacking to gather all the data for his glossy-eyed review later.
But this exchange can get more twisty: If the customer happens to be a real estate agent, for example, My Sociopath will add in promises that he will employ them to manage his next real estate transaction along with his woe is me, I tried to fix your item for five long hours but it's un-fixable (while taking their diagnostic fee). When I was with the sociopath, he made promises to four different real estate agents that he would hire them. They all left happy with their still broken electronic item and out $65.00.
Final example: My Sociopath destroyed his previous wife and child by immediately jumping online to pull in another target. Why? Because this previous wife and child went on a trip together and without the sociopath. Sociopaths can't be alone and feel dejected when their imprisoned target does something independent, free and away from sociopath control.
This all transfers into the jail environment. If an inmate has sociopath or narcissistic tendencies, he will apply his expertise or skill (reading, writing, oratory, instructing on a how-to craft, leader of the bible study, bodyguard or peacemaker…) to create a group of, who he deems lower and weaker minded, prisoners around him to get what he wants; this could be better and more food, the more desirable bunk in the cell, more cigarettes or other jail privileges. But mostly, this sociopath prisoner will likely win favor with the guards and warden by being a people-pleaser so as to get out of prison early for good behavior.
In addition, most jails give their inmates access to the internet, the privilege to write letters and to talk on the phone (though limited). The sociopath prisoner will be love-bombing people on the outside; he will be doing the "woe is me – she/he did this to me – I'm misunderstood – I'm the victim" to keep a previous intimate relationship in place and to attract new sympathizers. Just think of all the women that fell in love with Ted Bundy when he was incarcerated and Bundy married one of these disordered women (likely histrionic or borderline) while he was on death row.
All the above does not apply to a psychopath. Psychopaths are not as covert and cunningly manipulative as the sociopath or narcissist, and as a result will have more angry outbursts and be the cause of much of the overt friction and disorderly conduct that goes on in a prison. Still, however, the psychopath will attract crazy followers and supporters on the outside (during Ted Bundy's time it was through letters and phone calls…now they have limited internet time…even scarier).

Phone 2.0
November 15, 2006 By Jennifer Cuellar
It's beginning to sound quaint to call that gizmo we keep with us all the time a "telephone." Maybe we should coin a new term for the ever-expanding universe of things we can do with it — perhaps Phone 2.0.
Now, in addition to getting directions and connecting with your Facebook buddies, you can connect your phone to the expanding universe of digital content with Cupertino, CA-based Navio's content delivery system.
Navio is created from the consumer's perspective.
For example, when you buy a DVD you can play it on a DVD player or your PC. You can lend it or share it. But when you buy digital content, it's linked to a specific device — an iPod, PC, or TV. If you lose your hard drive, you lose all the songs, movies or anything else you've downloaded on it.
Navio has come up with a way that lets you preserve your right to content separately from the device you're using it on. Instead of buying a physical file, you buy the "right" to it.
"It allows people to shop in a more normal way," explains company COO Ray Schaaf.
That right goes into your "digital locker" — think of it as a virtual iPod that Navio maintains for you. You can use what you've bought — ringtones, wallpapers, songs, concert tickets, movie clips — on any device. Including your new disk drive.
The company says that this model gives consumers more flexibility while protecting artists and copyright holders.
"It allows distributed commerce. The right can be located and transacted anyplace," says Julie Schenkman, Navio VP of Marketing. "It's a real world model."
The concept is getting traction. Navio has some marquee-quality customers including Walt Disney Internet Group, Music Choice, and Fox Sports. Now the company is expanding its customer base beyond content companies.
Today Navio announced a deal with Verizon that will let the carrier's customers buy mobile content from Navio-powered Web and mobile storefronts. Content is delivered to the phone via SMS messaging and billed through Verizon. Customers need to have Verizon's data service.
For media and entertainment companies, linking up with Navio instantly extends their potential market to the customers of the US second largest cellular carrier.
But why put this on a phone?
Distribution via the Web will always be important, but "the phone is a portable device and portable is the way it's [the market's] going," explains Schaaf. "It's something everyone uses, everyone carries around. A lot of promising opportunity centers around the cell phone. It's much more personal, a one-to-one relationship."
Next thing you know, you'll be tuning in to YouTube on the phone. Oh, wait. That was announced last week.

Nigeria winger Victor Moses described Fenerbahce's hard fought 3-2 home win against Caykur Rizespor in their Turkish Super Lig clash at the Sukru Saracoğlu Stadium on Saturday as 'a very big and important three points'.
Ersun Yanal's men went behind as early as the fifth minute when Hassan Ali Kaldirim conceded an own goal.
Serder Aziz levelled scores for the hosts in the 22nd minute.
Spanish international Roberto Soldado put Fenerbahce in the driving seat in the 40th minute.
The visitors were recuced to 10-men five minutes before the break when Mykola Moroziuk was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Dario Melnjak restored parity for the visitors in the 55th minute to put more pressure on the home team.
Moses however bagged the winning goal for his side from the spot four minutes from time.
Rizespor paraded Nigerian trio, Chidozie Awaziem, Azubuike Okechukwu and Aminu Umar in the game.
"A very big and important three points. We didnt start the match well. We also struggled at the start of the second half. Then we stood up. It's always hard to play against 10 men , but most importantly we got the three points," Moses told Fenerbahce's official website after the game .
Moses who linked up with Fenerbahce on an 18-month loan from Chelsea in January has gradually settled down at the club after starting his first three league games from the bench.
The former Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic star revealed that he was not hundred percent fit when he arrived at the former Turkish champions and is still struggling with match fitness.
"When I got here, I wasn't hundred percent fit. I didn't get much game time at Chelsea. I came here to play. The gaffer gave me the opportunity to play .
Moses has now scored two goals in six league appearances for Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce occupy 14th position in the table with 28 points from 24 matches.

An insightful analogy can be drawn from the development of an important maritime custom and the current Chinese actions challenging the settled law of the sea. For hundreds of years, large ships have met one another on the high seas; over time, rules were established to ensure against collision. The standard rule for two vessels, traveling under power and converging, is that the ship observing another on its left-hand (port) side must maintain course and speed, or "stand on." The other ship, holding the first ship on its right-hand (starboard) side, either slows or alters course in order to "give way" and avoid collision. The procedure of "stand on" and "give way" has evolved from custom to law and now governs the actions of vessels in waters the world over.
To be clear, contrary to Chinese claims, the U.S. Navy's actions in the South China Sea are legal in every sense of the word. Under international law, no nation can create sovereign territory in an area that did not have sovereign characteristics previously, therefore, the waters surrounding the artificial Chinese constructs are not sovereign and hence the passage of a U.S. warship within 12 nautical miles – the area normally defined as territorial waters — would simply be a ship sailing freely upon the high seas. In this situation, the United States represents the "stand on" power within the international arena, strictly charged to maintain its previous strategic course and speed in order to avoid collision.
China, on the other hand in this analogy, is clearly the "give way" power. By its aggressive actions — the dredging of sand and the destruction of rare coral reefs in order to create artificial land masses to base military and civilian operations — China is acting illegally and illegitimately, well outside of accepted international norms. Continuing with these claims promises to badly destabilize the region and undermine China's role as a mature and responsible power. From this standpoint, China must "give way" and alter its strategic course in order to avoid collision with the United States and the broader international community.
Initial indications are that China does not intend to take the responsible course; by making that choice, it will find itself at odds with the current international system of governance — and that is telling. It is increasingly clear that China does not approve of the post-war international system, based as it is upon free navigation, free trade, and the rule of law. This system has, within the past few generations, lifted more people out of poverty than at any other time in human history, while also witnessing the unprecedented absence of large-scale war. Chinese actions intimate that its rulers believe the current system is an artifact of its previous century of humiliation, that the system needs to be replaced, and that the free navigation of U.S. warships, which have benignly guaranteed global peace for 70 years, threatens Chinese security.
China does not want to become a "responsible member" of the old global system of which the United States is the guarantor; it wants to create a new system in its place. The small artificial islands being built in the South China Sea represent the proverbial camel's nose under the tent in the Chinese plan. Any action that China takes to interfere with or counter the U.S. Navy's operations in international waters must be understood to be, at a minimum, a challenge to the current international system or, at most, an act of war.
Chinese officials may well wonder why the United States took so long to respond, after having passively watched while the three artificial constructs were dredged from the bottom or blasted from endangered coral reefs. There is another custom of the sea that might help to explain this: Regardless of the geometry of a convergence of ships at sea, powered vessels are always required to maneuver to avoid sailboats or oared vessels. China and its military have long been viewed as backward by the West, but now we have come to understand that China is a modern power — and must now obey the rules of the road. In the South China Sea, given current international laws and ancient customs, China must "give way" or face collision and cataclysm.

Q: Aligning controls and their labels to grid? I have a Manipulate with 6 sliders controlling 6 different variables. I have labelled them all. The problem is that the labels have different lengths, so it looks a bit messy:

I'd much rather have the sliders aligned with each other perfectly so that they don't start and end in different places, to make them look more orderly. How would it be possible to do this?
This is how the control panel is presently built:
{{x, 1, "Time"}, 1, 200*3.154`*^7, Animator,
 AnimationRate -> speed*86400, AnimationRunning -> False},
Row[{Control[{{speed, 1, "Speed"}, 1, 30}], Spacer[20],
  Dynamic[speed]}],
Row[{Control[{{\[Theta], 10, "Zoom"}, 30, 1}], Spacer[20],
  Dynamic[\[Theta]], " degrees"}],
Row[{Control[{{scale, 0, "Scaling"}, 0, 5}], Spacer[20],
  Dynamic[10^scale], " \[Times]"}],
Row[{Control[{{Opac, 0.05, "Opacity"}, 0, 0.5}], Spacer[20],
  Dynamic[Opac]}],
Row[{Control[{{recurRate, 1, "Recurrence rate"}, 0.1, 1}], Spacer[20],
   Dynamic[recurRate]}]

UPDATE
On @Kuba's recommendation, I have put the whole thing in a Grid. Now however, it is displaying the variable names alongside the sliders. How can I hide the variable names from displaying next to the sliders?
This is the code I'm currently using:
Grid[{
  {"Time",
   Control[{{x, 1}, 1, 200*3.154`*^7, Animator,
     AnimationRate -> speed*86400, AnimationRunning -> False}],
   SpanFromLeft},
  {"Speed", Control[{{speed, 1}, 1, 30}], Spacer[20], Dynamic[speed],
   Dynamic@If[speed == 1, " day per second",
     " days per second"]},
  {"Zoom", Control[{{\[Theta], 10}, 30, 1}],
   Spacer[20], Dynamic[\[Theta]],
   Dynamic@If[\[Theta] == 1, " degree", " degrees"]},
  {"Scaling", Control[{{scale, 0}, 0, 5}], Spacer[20],
   Dynamic[10^scale], " \[Times]"}},
    Alignment -> Left]

A: I have a way of doing this by wrapping the label with a Panel. This has two effects: organizes space making a view more accurate and prevents jerking. Since you gave no code that can be played with, only the controls, I make here a simple example with two controls, just to demonstrate the way. Here you are:
    Manipulate[
 Plot[Sin[\[Theta]*x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, PlotRange -> scale*{-1, 1}],
 {{\[Theta], 1,
   Dynamic@Panel[
     Row[{Style["Zoom: ", Blue, 14], Style[\[Theta], Red, 14]}],
     ImageSize -> {90, 40}]}, 0, 10},
 {{scale, 1,
   Dynamic@Panel[
     Row[{Style["Scale: ", Blue, 14], Style[scale, Red, 14]}],
     ImageSize -> {90, 40}]}, 0.1, 10} ]

This is how it should look like:

In this approach it is not necessary to wrap the actual control with the Control[ ] statement. In general this statement is useful, if one wants to organize the controls spacially, using Grid or Row and Column.
    Further, you wanted to put some information in front of, and some - behind the control. This may be done as follows:
    Manipulate[
 Plot[Sin[\[Theta]*x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, PlotRange -> scale*{-1, 1}],
 Row[{Control[{{\[Theta], 1,
      Dynamic@Panel[
        Row[{Style["Zoom: ", Blue, 14], Style[\[Theta], Red, 14]}],
        ImageSize -> {90, 40}]}, 0, 10}], Spacer[10],
   Panel[Row[{Style["something=", Blue, 14],
      Dynamic@Style[\[Theta], Blue, 14]}], ImageSize -> {120, 40}]}],
 {{scale, 1,
   Dynamic@Panel[
     Row[{Style["Scale: ", Blue, 14], Style[scale, Red, 14]}],
     ImageSize -> {90, 40}]}, 0.1, 10} ]

yielding:

You see that here the Control[ ] statement is useful. I did it for one of the controls only, but you can do the same with all of them.
Playing with the ImageSize option for the Panel you can adjust their sizes, such that all your control names fit into them.
Control statement is especially useful, if you want to arrange the controls, say, in a line:
    Manipulate[
 Plot[Sin[\[Theta]*x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, PlotRange -> scale*{-1, 1},
  ImageSize -> 600],
 Row[{
   Control[{{\[Theta], 1,
      Dynamic@Panel[
        Row[{Style["Zoom: ", Blue, 14], Style[\[Theta], Red, 14]}],
        ImageSize -> {90, 40}]}, 0, 10}],
   Spacer[10],
   Control[{{scale, 1,
      Dynamic@Panel[
        Row[{Style["Scale: ", Blue, 14], Style[scale, Red, 14]}],
        ImageSize -> {90, 40}]}, 0.1, 10}]
   }]]

One further possibility would be to wrap the dynamic variable by NumberForm which will make the view even more ordered.
Have fun.

Exclusive: Stripe planning Middle East & Africa expansion
Posted on February 6, 2019 - Like & Follow Us Follow @MENAbytes
American online payments startup Stripe that recently raised fresh capital at a valuation of $22.5 billion is planning expansion in the Middle East & Africa, a recent job posting by the company has revealed.
The San Francisco-based company is looking for a business development leader to join their financial partnerships team and to accelerate their "go to market strategies in the Middle East and Africa."
"This role will be responsible for defining and executing all aspects of the partnerships with financial institutions, acquirers, and card networks needed for Stripe to enter high impact regional markets," the job posting on Stripe's website notes.
The role will be based in London that serves as one of Stripe's global offices but will require frequent multi-week international travel, the job posting points out.
The posting also highlights Arabic language skills as a plus, suggesting that the company is looking to expand into some Middle Eastern countries at least if not all.
Stripe earlier today has entered six new markets, launching their betas in Estonia, Poland, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, and Malaysia.
Their CEO, making the announcement on Twitter, said, "The internet is global and we're (impatiently) trying to make all of Stripe's functionality available in every country. We have a whole lot more global expansion planned for 2019."
Stripe is one of the most popular payments gateways in the world, mainly because of being developer-friendly and easy integrations.
Companies in MENA can still use Stripe by registering a company in the United States through Stripe Atlas, a service that allows global businesses to incorporate their companies in the United States and accept payments from anywhere in the world.
But Stripe's expansion to Middle East & Africa could mean that any business that is registered in the Stripe-supported countries of the region can also use their payment gateway and other services.
This could be a big boost for internet entrepreneurs in the region, many of whom struggle with the payment gateways available in MENA due to different reasons.
It would be interesting to see how Stripe works with banks in the region when it comes to MENA as they're one of the biggest reasons why payment gateways of the region are unable to offer a smooth onboarding experience to businesses.

LONDON (Reuters) - An experimental garden that uses exercise bikes to water plants is about to make the gentle art of gardening much sweatier, its designers said on Monday.
The water-recycling garden, on display at Britain's Chelsea Flower Show, features two static training bikes that pump water to plants — as long as someone is there to do the pedaling.
"We are going to have people cycling on the bikes throughout the show," Gerardine Hemingway, who designed the garden with her husband Wayne, told Reuters at the world famous show in west London.
The garden was designed to promote a healthy lifestyle and the sustainable use of water by encouraging those who use it to think about where irrigation water comes from, she said.
At the show, designers sat side by side on bikes and pedaled to pump water along a circuit which irrigates a vegetable and fruit garden. Excess water flowed to a storage tank below the surface, ready to be pumped again.
The garden, which cost between 40- 50,000 pounds ($61,000) to build, features a "living wall" made of vegetables and fruits including pak choi and strawberries.
After the show, it will be transported to a community park in the town of Gateshead, northeast England.
Hemingway said children from the Gateshead community helped design and decorate the garden.
"The idea is to get the community involved in the creation of the garden so when it goes back to its permanent site in Gateshead they get full ownership over it," Hemingway said.

The #3 Rap Album Was A Hidden Gem This Year
Posted on December 27, 2015 by Kurt Nice
Right now the biggest gainer in rap album sales on Billboard is the #3 position held by Lin-Manuel Miranda's cast recording of the Broadway musical Hamilton. Alone that statistic is impressive, but consider this…the Pinkprint World Tour by Nicki Minaj this year grossed $13M. Since July of 2015, Hamilton has been grossing about $1.5M per week in NYC alone, for a total gross ticket sale of $35.46M to date. The show is sold out until after January and has yet to tour the rest of the country, not to mention an extended run on Broadway for years to come. But it's not just the numbers that make Hamilton a phenomenon in hip-hop music this year; it's the concept and execution.
Lin-Manuel Miranda did something that was amazing to many, but evidently, within the realm of possibilities for Hip Hop as a cultural learning device to transform perceptions. The ability to transform perceptions is a unique and valuable tool in music and, to me, Hip Hop in particular. When I studied Hiphop consciousness with KRSONE some years ago, we discussed Hiphop as
the perceptual ability to change subjects and objects in an attempt to express ones inner being.
The concept of taking an historical figure like Alexander Hamilton from relative obscurity and propel his story to the front of 2015 pop culture, is in fact a Hip Hop concept. Hip Hop has an innate ability to take something old, lost and forgotten to make it new again. It has a way of flipping old ideas in a new way; retelling a story with more intrigue and flair or making something uninteresting sound 'cool'. Often, in interviews, Miranda recounts reading the Hamilton biography by Ron Chernow, and thinking of it as a "Hip Hop story of someone coming up from the bottom." The connection may even be deeper in that, the story of America is a story of coming up from the bottom. That American 'underdog' ideal may have been embedded in Hiphop sub-consciously from the start.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, lyricist and playwright
As a New Yorker of Puerto-Rican descent, raised during the Golden-Age of Hip Hop/Rap in the 1990's Miranda was able to absorb the full impact of Hip Hop edutainment. It shows in this skillfully written history lesson set to hip-hop, R&B and pop music beats. It is clear to any True Hiphoppa that Miranda has respect and overstanding of Hip Hop Kulture on a level beyond most pop rappers of today. His genius shows not as much in the rhyme skill as the depth of concept and execution of the final product which elicits emotions that most rappers can't duplicate in the songs. The other major factor to note is just how skilled one has to be to tackle this subject matter and pull it off with such success. Any rapper with skill could have written about Alexander Hamilton, the face on the $10. How many could have made $35 million off of the concept in 7 months?
Yet, completely discounting the money, the biggest impact of the concept, which took about 6 years to write, is its ability to educate while entertaining its audience. The lyrics are so well-written that they have audiences jamming to hip-hop music and crying to soulful ballads all while learning American history. The ability of rap music to transmit so many words at any vocabulary level on beat and in pleasing rhyme patterns, has audiences questioning why they weren't taught like this in school. This is exactly what people like myself have been advocating for years. College courses are one thing, but what Lin-Manuel Miranda did with this 2 1/2 hour long musical is the other level of Hip Hop education. In my first piece about Hamilton in September, I summed up why I really love this concept and execution…
I guess the main reason I liked the play so much, is that it reaffirms something that I've believed for a long time. That is that the language format of Hip Hop speak is a better tool for education than mainstream American speech. The tone and points of concentration in a Hip Hop lesson connect more with the listener because it leaves in the rawness and clarity of unrefined manners while taking out the pretentiousness of polite speech or unnecessarily flowery rhetoric. Hip Hop has a way of telling a story with more grit and gristle left in for people's consumption. I believe people like grit and gristle in their stories; it makes them more believable and realistic.
There is also something to be said about the fact that the Hamilton musical debut and peak on Billboard's #1 Rap Album chart was not covered heavily in so-called Hip Hop media. On most sites that claim to be Hip Hop, you will find no stories about Hamilton or its significance. However, True Hiphoppas will have at some point discussed it. Sway and Heather B spoke about it while QuestLove and Black Thought of the Roots co-signed Miranda in the video clip from Billboard's YouTube Channel.

Johnson's Baby Powder: A Classic in So Many Ways!
For the next for four weeks, I'm participating in Johnson's Blog for Beauty Challenge. They have a variety of products with intense moisturizing properties that keep skin feeling smooth and baby soft. I figured that if we trust children's skin with Johnson's, why not use it on myself? So that's what I'm doing. Each week I'm blogging about a different product and sharing how I'm using it and what it is doing for my skin.
Today's Johnson's product is the original, the classic Johnson's Baby Powder. We all know by now that sprinkling a little bit of baby powder in your hair is a great way to get rid excess oil in your hair. In fact, I did this hours before seeing Katy Perry live in concert last week and meeting her at a "Meet & Greet" hours later. This use is actually one of the first things I wrote about when I started Product Girl almost 6 years ago.
If you're like me and do some of your own waxing at home, dust a little bit of baby powder over the areas you are about to wax. This helps absorb any oil on the surface of the skin and gives wax the ability to grab onto hair better. It's a trick I picked up from my fabulous brow lady Jayla.
Just like it does for hair, if you spill a little bit of grease or oil on your clothes while cooking or eating, put some baby powder on it to absorb the oil before tossing it in the hamper.
On a hot night, sprinkle some baby powder on your sheets before slipping into bed. This will help soak up the perspiration on the skin and fabric.
If you've been at the beach and want to get rid of all that wet sand you're tracking to your car, baby powder can help! Sprinkle it on to absorb the water and the sand practically falls off by itself.
Finally, if you shave with a dry electric razor, dust some baby powder on your legs. It helps with preventing friction burns so you have much prettier legs.
Do you have any other tips for using baby powder? Let us know in the comments, I love hearing about alternative uses for products like this.
Wow!!! Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing.

Appleton, Wisconsin, USA, 14 November 2007 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Appleton received the state and federal governments' order today requiring responsible paper companies to implement a solution for the Fox River cleanup by next year. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the order so that work on the USD 400 million plus clean-up project can begin without delay.
"Appleton is committed to advancing the Fox River cleanup and is asking all responsible companies and municipalities to reach settlement expeditiously," said Pam Barker, executive director of environmental health and product safety for Appleton. "We hope that the governments' order will hasten the mediation process. Fox Valley residents have waited long enough to tap into the economic and recreational benefits of a healthy, vibrant river."
The actual cleanup of PCB-contaminated sediment from the river is slated for 2009, but much of the groundwork -- design, equipment orders, and a decision on a landfill location -- must be completed in 2008. Without cooperation from the companies regarding how the costs should be allocated among them or the governments' order, cleanup would be stalled.
Appleton, along with its former parent Arjo Wiggins Appleton Ltd., has worked diligently over many years to reach a clean-up solution. Together with another of its former owners, NCR Corp., Appleton has paid more than any other company to achieve progress on the cleanup.
As sign of good faith efforts, the Appleton and NCR Corp. have already provided USD 41.5 million to the WDNR and EPA for cleanup and natural resource damages. In addition, Appleton put forth USD 1.5 million to launch and implement the Lower Fox River Watershed Monitoring Program, a partnership among local high school students and experts to improve the water quality and habitat within the Lower Fox River.
"Our efforts on the Fox River demonstrate we have acted in good faith every step of the way," said Barker. "We look forward to working with the paper companies and other responsible parties to reach a resolution so that recovery efforts on the river may begin on schedule."
About Appleton
Appleton creates product solutions through its development and use of coating formulations and applications, encapsulation technology, and secure and specialized print services. The company produces carbonless, thermal, security, and performance packaging products. Appleton is headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, and has manufacturing operations in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and the United Kingdom. It employs approximately 3100 people and is 100% employee owned. For more information visit http://www.appletonideas.com/.

Race Relations Expert Says "Stop Questioning Zimmerman Verdict; Address Black-on-Black Crime"
It is the position of the editorial staff at Beyond Black & White that the killing of Trayvon Martin, an innocent, unarmed teenager, was tragic. We are shocked and saddened that the Martin family did not receive justice for the loss of their child. Many of our readers–myself included–have biracial sons–and the thought of any of our children being a target because of their dress and color of their skin frightens us to the core.
However, we often discuss issues within the black community that you will be hard pressed to find on any other news site. We are all observing in real time the outrage reverberating throughout black communities, and black leaders like Al Sharpon vow to "never rest" until George Zimmerman is punished. Perhaps during one of his multitude of press conferences some reporter might be brave enough to ask him if he will also "never rest" until the crisis of black-on-black crime is addressed.
A 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 — and, in certain years, as many as 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other blacks. The analysis, supported by FBI records, finds that in 2005 alone, for example, African Americans accounted for 49% of all homicide victims in the US — again, almost exclusively at the hands of other African Americans. [SOURCE]
"The people who are complaining about the Trayvon Martin verdict should turn their attention to the unacceptable levels of black-on-black violence that cripples urban communities. We should not be second guessing the jury. The jury examined the evidence and decided not to convict, despite the presence of a judge that seemed biased towards the prosecution. Folks, its time to move on to the real problems facing black communities. It's what we [black people] do to ourselves. It is imperative for the police to police in situations where disgruntled people are threatening violence over the not guilty verdict," said Dr. Carol M. Swain, Expert on Race Relations, Politics, and Immigration.
To be sure, depressed urban areas predominately populated by African Americans are rife with rape, pillaging, and murder on a daily basis. Chicago reached the pitiful 200-murder milestone on Independence Day.
"In Chicago, every day, someone who could be Obama's son, gets shot. The usual suspects say NOTHING and fight to keep the population defenseless. That shows how much they really care," says Craig Bergman, a nationally syndicated radio host and President of Patriots for Christ.
Why is it that the black community is the most adept at galvanizing to fight against an outside threat, but seems impotent in addressing the mess in it's own house? Even more frustrating is when called out for this, many in the community would rather engage in "Look, over there!!" tactics, blaming poverty, racism and classism as the main culprit to absolve any and all personal responsibility. "The outrage should be about us killing each other, about black-on-black crime," especially in Chicago, rather than a single wrongful killing in Florida, said T. Willard Fair, president of the Urban League of Greater Miami Inc, in an article published last year in the Daily Caller. "Would you think to have 41 people shot [in Chicago] between Friday morning and Monday morning would be much more newsworthy and deserve much more outrage?"
The I can only surmise why black-on-black crime is downplayed in the media (besides that it's a powder keg) is that there is a perception that black people don't value black life, so why should others? Although simplistic, it's the same argument for why white people are puzzled when they aren't allowed to say "nigga," when black folks say it left and right. You can't expect others to value you if you don't value yourself.

Q: Windows API Crash when window displayed I have created a Windows application. It should be noted that this issue only occurs on certain computers (it runs fine on mine). I create the window as follows:
RECT wr = {0, 0, rOp->resX, rOp->resY};
AdjustWindowRect(&wr, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, FALSE);
WNDCLASS wc;
wc.style         = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wc.lpfnWndProc   = WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra    = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra    = 0;
wc.hInstance     = hAppInst;
wc.hIcon         = NULL;
wc.hCursor       = LoadCursor(0, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
wc.lpszMenuName  = NULL;
wc.lpszClassName = L"App";
if (!RegisterClass(&wc))
{
    return false;
}
hAppWnd = CreateWindow( L"App", lpWindowName, WS_VISIBLE | WS_OVERLAPPED, 0, 0, wr.right - wr.left, wr.bottom - wr.top, NULL, NULL, hAppInst, NULL );

On the PCs of two of my friends, this crashes when the window is displayed. If I remove WS_VISIBLE, the application continues to run fine until ShowWindow is called, upon which time it crashes. My friends report seeing a white window immediately before it crashes, so the window appears to be being displayed.
Does anyone have any theories as to why this might be happening?
EDIT: WndProc is as follows:
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (Msg)
    {
    case WM_DESTROY:
        PostQuitMessage(0);
        return 0;
    case WM_PAINT:
        reng->draw();
        return 0;
    case WM_ERASEBKGND:
        return 1;
    default:
        return reng->DefProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
    }
}

DefProc is a function pointer to this:
LRESULT CALLBACK DefProc(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (Msg)
    {
    case GM_NEWGAME:
        newGame();
        return 0;
    default:
        return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
    }
}

(GM_NEWGAME is a user-defined message)
The DefProc function pointer is always set before the window is created.

A: The must be in your wndproc. Maybe there is a synchronization problem between an object creation and its use in there.

A: As the code you have posted here has nothing that can explicitly cause a crash, and as it only happens when the window is actually shown, it looks like the bug is inside the draw() method.
The best solution would be to build a debug version of your application and ask your friend to create a dump file with task manager when it crashes. They you can open it in Visual Studio and see the exact line in your code that caused the crash.


Kevin Durant may be the Warriors' biggest asset on the court, but his absence isn't halting ticket prices for Sunday's showdown with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
The 28-year-old is expected to miss at least four weeks after suffering a Grade 2 MCL sprain and tibial bone bruise, putting the Warriors in a bind as they look to clinch the top seed in the Western Conference. The resale ticket market is paying no mind to Durant's injury, however, as Sunday's game will be among the most expensive games played at MSG since the turn of the decade.
On TicketIQ, the average resale price for Knicks vs. Warriors tickets is now $799. That is a 10 percent increase from Tuesday's average of $729, the night Durant suffered his knee injury against the Wizards. For fans looking just to get past the gates the cheapest tickets at Madison Square Garden is now $270, up more than 20 percent from Tuesday's $224 asking price.
Those prices put Sunday's game in rare company. Only one other Knicks regular season game posted a higher average resale price since 2010, when TicketIQ began tracking resale ticket data. That game was held against LeBron James and the Heat on March 3, 2013. Tickets to the game owned a resale average of $1,036 and the cheapest tickets fetched for $221 each.

He was at the mercy of a terrible GM. I wouldn't hold the last couple years against him.
No coach is going to look good when your best player is out for 2 years.
With that quote right there, I'm sorry to say Raiders' fans, but the excuse your team doesn't have the money to sign players is BS. I've read all season from journalist to fans in comments section claiming poverty for their team.
And of course, they wouldn't dare discuss the Chargers not being able to sellout a 30K stadium. But their financial woes, in terms of paying the players, is never mentioned.
I agree with completely that it's laughable for any NFL team to claim poverty. Every franchise shares equally in the millions received from the sports broadcast networks. The Raiders never spent a nickel on improvements to their stadium so they have plenty of money for acquiring talent. In terms of spending the Bills have the lowest payroll but they still spend only a third less than the Vikings who have the highest payroll. There is no need for the comp pick system and the soft cap is becoming something of a joke as teams can use signing bonuses as a way of creating cap wiggle room as we saw two team do in just the past few days.
The only source the Raiders have for money is the revenue sharing with the league. Which half of it goes directly to the players. They play in a stadium which lacks the luxury boxes which drives extra revenue. They play in the single worst stadium and since the city is incapable of actually fixing it, they decided to leave.
They're splitting an additional $2b this year alone on gambling. Let alone all the sales from their games. Sure they may be short on luxury boxes. But who the hell wants to pay $5 to see a team tanking let alone the average $100 per person? Parking, concession sales, & ticket sales is all theirs.
Please explain this to me. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but really curious.
They were in Oak and not successful so the moved to LA. They weren't successful in LA so back to Oak. Again, not successful in Oak so they need to move to Vegas.
How is that an NFL problem but not a Davis problem?
The City of Oakland promised they would fix the Colisseum, they didn't. That is not the Raiders nor the NFLs problem that is the cities fault. Davis has the least amount of money than any owner in professional sports. Whether or not he can actually afford the team is a different story. Ticket sales is split with both teams unless it's for luxury boxes. Hence why all owners want lots of boxes. They don't have to split their revenue from them with anybody. The parking fees and some of the ticket revenue goes to the owner of the stadium which in this case is not the Raiders. The lack of boxes and playing in a stadium which should have been demolished already is why the Raiders needed to move.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I see it as a family that has made poor business decisions rather than anything else. For example paying a guy top 5 coaching money who hadn't coached in 10 years. That's bad business.
They are getting a brand new stadium built and paid for by both the NFL & Nevada in a tax free state.
Add up all the revenue (both home and away games, TV, merchandise, gambling et al) and the Davis' family is plenty wealthy, but cheap towards their business.
Davis is worth 500m or so. Poor by owner standards. The coaching decision to trash the team right now is so they can build a winner when they move. Whether or not that's actually going to work is a different issue. They don't have the cash flow to make it work. They can't even afford the 550m of bribe money for the other teams. Remember the revenue sharing brings in 300-400 mil and includes a team that can't fill a 30,000 stadium. Are they supposed to keep playing in a garbage dump just because.
Keep them coming! I live in Jacksonville. When Wayne Weaver was ready to sell; there were tarps over 30% or of the stadium, not 1 winning season in a decade or more. Yet, Shad bought them ANYWAYS and voila, all of a sudden a real business man filled the seats, removed the tarps, added pools and plenty other amenities.
Shad didn't turn around the Jags because he was rich. He turned them around because he understands business that made him rich.
I'm with you on this JJ. Mark Davis will always have some excuse for the media to explain why he has never escaped the shadow of his father.
GB also had a deal in place to acquire Randy Moss from Oakland. IIRC, the 2 sides verbally agreed to complete the deal the following day, and all the sudden he's on his way to New England. Whether the Pats were in talks already I don't know, but the final result was sketchy to me.
2 examples to dispute those who claim Ted Thompson never made any effort to trade for experienced talent.

Vernon Smith Prize 2020 – winners announcement
The winners of the 13th International Vernon Smith Prize are:
1st Prize:
Ethan Yang (USA)
2nd Prize:
Christoph Lesniewski (Poland)
3rd Prize:
Dikshya Mahat (Nepal) and Jorge Jraissati (USA)
ex aequo
The prizes have been awarded on the basis of originality, grasp of subject, and the logical consistence of the argument. An international jury did judge the essays, and the winners were initially invited to present their papers at a special event in Vaduz, the Principality of Liechtenstein. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, this event will have to be held virtually through Online Conference Call on 8 Feb 2021.
The 2020 topic was:
'Is the Public Interest really in the public's interest?'
About 85 years ago, F. A. von Hayek already has warned us that even "if people agree about the desirability of planning in general, their agreements about the ends which planning is to serve will in the first instance necessarily be confined to some general formula like 'social welfare', the 'general interest', the 'common good', 'greater equality' or 'justice' etc. "
Agreement on such a general formula is however, not sufficient to determine a concrete plan, even if we take all the technical means as given". Although, these ambiguous, emotionally charged and politically domineering slogans still arouse the fantasy of intellectuals and politicians alike, a conceptual definition of these 'multi-purpose' terms appears to be of no concern for them. It is a regrettable fact that especially economics, far more than the other social sciences, is obsessed with the reiteration of popular, yet meaningless buzz words.
The following prize money will be given to winners:
1st Prize: €4,000 | 2nd Prize: €3,000 | 3rd Prize: €2,000
The International Vernon Smith Prize for the advancement of Austrian Economics is an annual essay competition sponsored and organized by ECAEF – European Center of Austrian Economics Foundation, Vaduz (Principality of Liechtenstein).


Though the 30s-inspired, lacquered hairstyles added drama on the runway, we're not sure we'll be re-creating the stiff style anytime soon. But the trend we are loving is the total focus on one feature on the face. Makeup artist Pat McGrath was going for a modern look: "We wanted the models to look glamorous with an androgynous face. We play a lot in fashion in androgyny," McGrath said. And to achieve that, McGrath focused solely on the eyes, skipping blush and lip color all together. "I wanted something really bold and reflective," she said, as she applied a shiny silver eye shadow all over the models' eyelids. The crazy reflective, liquid-like shadow was all the models' eyes needed to dazzle, so no eyeliner or mascara was used. To enhance the eyes even more, the models' brows were filled in with a pencil one shade darker than their natural hair color.


•McCormick Distilling Co. has acquired Broker's Gin Ltd., producer of the upscale Broker's London Dry Gin brand. Created by brothers Martin and Andy Dawson in the late 1990s, Broker's is produced in a 200-year-old gin distillery in Birmingham, England. The Weston, Missouri-based McCormick sells more than 3 million cases of spirits annually, according to Impact Databank, with most of its business at the sub-premium end. In recent years, though, the company has made a concerted effort to expand its premium portfolio, particularly with its 360 Vodka, which sells around 135,000 cases annually.
•San Francisco's Speakeasy Ales & Lagers is bringing back its Scarface Imperial Stout with the re-launch of its original recipe and the debut of a special barrel-aged edition. The original version of Scarface Imperial Stout is made with a blend of grains and Columbus and Magnum hops, while the Barrel-Aged Scarface Imperial Stout is matured for over a year in Bourbon barrels, and can be consumed immediately or cellared for several years. Both 9.5%-abv entries will be sold across a 13-market footprint by the end of November, available in 22-ounce bottles and on draft.

Our Lost Edens: Over and over, the same things get said, but they are always sad and riddled with nostalgia
My hometown — Port Clinton, Ohio, population 6,050 — was in the 1950s a passable embodiment of the American dream, a place that offered decent opportunity for the children of bankers and factory workers alike.
But a half-century later, wealthy kids park BMW convertibles in the Port Clinton High School lot next to decrepit "junkers" in which homeless classmates live. The American dream has morphed into a split-screen American nightmare. And the story of this small town, and the divergent destinies of its children, turns out to be sadly representative of America.

This healthy DIY High Protein Hot Chocolate Mix uses just three ingredients and takes seconds to whip up! It's warm, comforting and uses either water or milk of choice to create a delicious hot cocoa! It's suitable for those following a vegan, gluten free, paleo, low carb, sugar free, dairy free and grain free lifestyle!
I sometimes feel like taking back some of my intentions stated on this blog…namely creating bodybuilder/fitness competitor recipes for my mate, Luke.
What I thought would be a fun little project has turned into something a little more complicated.
Because Luke is based in Australia, the way macronutrients are calculated (kilojoules) are different to what the majority of other countries use (calories). Over the last couple of weeks, I'll be peppering my good pal and epic RD, Alexis, with a plethora of questions regarding this. A big reason for this is that the majority of my readers follow the 'calorie' format over the kilojoule format. Myself, even though I grew up in Australia, I never used the kilojoule method of calculation.
…because the kilojoule method was too confusing.
Something interesting we've found in the process is how things are calculated, based on macronutrients. Without going into too much detail (mainly because I'm still confused by it all), some things, like fiber, are counted differently in foods/recipes. For example, a snack bar that Luke eats regularly here is around 210 calories,but the exact same bar in America is labeled as 155 calories.
Same ingredients, same packaging, same size….just differing macros.
Not only that but the carbohydrate counts are different on both packages too (which explains the caloric differences…I guess?) but I'll let Luke explain that in an upcoming post. I seriously have a headache just thinking about it.
For the second recipe in the 'let's make Luke's road to competition glory diet easier' initiative, we're giving his favorite hot beverage a cheeky healthy makeover…with a bonus protein-packed hack to it.
Luke is one of the few people who doesn't enjoy drinking coffee, which is a shame seeing as his girlfriend's favorite brunch spot is Seven Seeds, a cafe infamous for their superior coffee (just an FYI, his girlfriend, Kat, is the best dining companion ever. She literally eats ANYTHING). In the last post, I mentioned how we'd get coffees and muffins before our lecture, but the coffee was on my part. He went the hot chocolate route.
There is something comforting about enjoying a classic hot chocolate, filled with creamy milk, marshmallows and the sugary cocoa powder on top. However, when you're prepping for a fitness competition, these may take up a few precious macros, especially coming up to the final weeks. In this instance, I've made an easy, simple healthy hot chocolate mix packed with protein!
This healthy homemade hot chocolate mix is packed with protein and needs just three simple ingredients! It's your answer for a daily chocolate-y, warming and comforting drink which is sugar free. A traditional hot chocolate is based on heavy milk, cream and a ton of sugar, but this version contains none of those. Granted, if you are after a classic hot chocolate, this wouldn't fit the bill, but for a warm, cozy and comforting beverage you can enjoy every single day (or even as a post workout drink!), it's your answer! Depending on which protein powder you choose, it's completely gluten free, vegan, sugar free, paleo, dairy free and grain free!
The three ingredients are protein powder, cocoa powder and a granulated sweetener of choice. Let's jump into a little bit of detail for each aspect, as it's imperative for a successful (and delicious!) hot chocolate.
The protein powder– This makes up the recipe (hello, high protein part?) and the type of protein powder is ridiculously important. Use the wrong one, and you'll be left with clumpy milk, and then you'll choke on the clumps and cry a river like Justin Timberlake.
Firstly, I DO NOT recommend whey protein powder. I don't recommend it in any of my food recipes, and I do not recommend it in this homemade hot cocoa mix. Even after trying to mix it slowly with hot water, it became way too sticky, and eventually turned into one big clump. I recommend using a brown rice protein powder (it's vegan and gluten free!), a casein protein powder (better flavor and thickness and mixes beautifully) and if you follow a paleo lifestyle, this one works well too. These are the protein powders I've personally tried and have tried several other casein/vegan blends which also worked will. If you use a different brand, please test it out first using a small portion of hot water and protein powder and see if it mixes well. This is your best indication!
Now, the granulated sweetener of choice! If you checked out yesterday's recipe, I lamented about the monk fruit sweetener, a natural stevia blend which mimics white table sugar really well. If you have a preferred sweetener of choice, feel free to use that, but make sure it's suitable to be mixed with hot drinks- Some zero calorie sweeteners are strictly for cold beverages.
Finally, the cocoa powder! As the protein powders are chocolate flavored, this portion is completely up to you. I LOVE a dark chocolate taste, so use dark cocoa powder liberally. For a classic chocolate flavor, I'd stick to a good quality cocoa powder or even a mix of both. The best part is that you can always add more once you've made your hot beverage!
HACK! This healthy homemade high protein hot chocolate mix is perfect to give as gifts to those fitness friends or family members too! All you need to do is set up as many mason jars (cleaned our jelly jars work perfectly for this), label it with the type of protein powder used (vegan, casein or paleo- This is important- See the recipe card!), the granulated sweetener used and maybe a cheeky little message like Arman is amazing.
Make this healthy homemade high protein hot chocolate mix and get your slippers on and put on some Netflix.
Just kidding, go lift weight then chug this down after.
In a large mixing bowl, sift your cocoa powder to avoid any clumps.
In a separate bowl, add all the ingredients and mix very well, until combined.
Add 7 tablespoons of hot chocolate mixture into a large mug.
Add 1/4 cup of boiling water and mix very well until everything is combined and no clumps remain. Add 1/2-1 cup of either hot water or warmed up milk of choice, mix again and enjoy!
Keep hot chocolate mix in an airtight container.
For a richer hot chocolate, use all milk of choice.
I use protein powder to make hot chocolate too! It's an easy way to get an extra protein boost without much effort!
Now what if I mixed this in coffee!? That would probably be the most delicious Mocha drink EVER!
YES!!! Stay tuned for next week muffin!
P.S I bet this would go great with that batman cookie too.
Actually, it would work great in SPOON form.
Woah, I think you just blew my mind with all that kilojoule talk. I've been really trying to count calories the past couple of weeks…and it's hard! How the heck do I know how many calories are in a slice of bread that I baked? I just give it my best estimate and go with it. And now you tell me I need to step up my game? I'm going back to bed…haha. Love the hot chocolate mix here, mate. I'm going back to bed…with a hot chocolate next to me!
Well THAT right there is easy enough to make! 😉 I've totally thought about this before – but since I am more of a vanilla girl, as you know, he he… I have yet to make it!
Oh and I actually love going over seas and seeing the KJs in foods… Because they actually list ALL of the KJs/Calories in a damn food. In the states, if it has less than 5 calories per serving, they just list it as ZERO. Lazy America.
OH that's right!!!! I forgot about that! Ha, Walden Farms.
this is a perfect homemade holiday gift idea.
You said it! Thanks, Dixya!
It got real cold here overnight, so hot chocolate sounds good right about now. And some protein would be great too, since my quads are crazy sore after last night's workout. Damn Orangetheory fitness making me think I could beat the guy next to me at jump squats…….
This will be so comforting right now! It has been getting very cold at night where I live.
🙂 I hope it warms you right up, Joanne!
I seriously can't believe that you made this with protein powder. It looks amazing!! I used to be a hot chocolate girl myself, and then I discovered coffee about five years ago and am now a certified addict. I'm back in the land of confusing kilojoules, too!
What a lucky duck – dude ;)? – Luke is to have you helping him out with competition prep diet-approved recipes. I couldn't imagine doing that myself. Though I sadly -do- know the calorie counts of many foods. Kilojoule? Not. Because that ish really is confusing. The carbohydrate difference makes sense, though, as fibre technically is a carb and apparently US labels don't have to count these in as calories?
How many weeks out/until the competition your friend is preparing for?
Thanks for the yummy recipe! I use whey protein but have found if i mix in a small amount of the liquid cold, it gets creamy and then I can add hot slowly while stirring, giving a nice texture. It also adds a nice flavor for "hot cocoa" style drinks.

hi, i have a problem for a long time now with this card, - after some time working with the computer suddenly the screen makes some kind of doubling itself (the screen picture) now sometimes if i turn off the screen itself for 5 mins or so it fixes itself but i need a permament solution.
btw it occured in win 98 as well that's why i moved from it.
Since you say turning the monitor off fixes it I might be inclined to think its the monitor itself. To see if the monitor is the problem you can switch out the monitor with another one, if you can borrow one from a friend.
If it happens on another monitor then try reinstalling the video card drivers and make sure the sure the fan on the video card is working - maybe check the fan now.

Joining the Canisius Women's Business Center was a crucial turning point for Sport Nation, a value of which I would never underestimate.
WBC's [Elevate Advisory Group] gave me the insight and education about various opportunities that were available and how to access them. They were a great support team on teaching me what I needed to know to move my business to the next level.
The monthly [Launch Advisory Group] meetings are inspirational, educational, and fun. The accountability session ensures that monthly goals are met. The help from the Women's Business Center has been of outstanding value in helping me and my company appreciate and maximize the support and opportunities that are available to entrepreneurs in general and women entrepreneurs in particular.
The Women's Business Center and my peers in the Forum group really bring a great perspective on continuing to grow my practice. We keep each other accountable and it's nice to have ideas and feedback from individuals outside of the financial world.
The Women's Business Center at Canisius has provided me with the necessary tools and knowledge to better manage and grow our business. I now have a better understanding of Financial Reports, Strategic Planning, HR, and Succession Planning. However, I believe that the greatest benefit of the WBC is the support and encouragement that I receive not only from the staff but from my classmates and friends in Forum One (Master Advisory Group).

How to Rebuild & Update iTunes Library Effortlessly
iTunes can often be a bothersome program to work with, which is unfortunate due to how it is one of the most common programs that people use for taking care of their Apple devices. It's generally expected that because the program is developed by the creator of the device, that the program is updated regularly with new features, and any bugs that are found are dealt with. This isn't the case. One of the issues that is most commonly found is in regard to wanting to update iTunes library is songs not being synced as the user has requested, which can be incredibly frustrating.
If this happens to you regularly then it is an indication that iTunes is unable to locate the songs which you have chosen to sync or is having issues with the data management system, which while bothersome for the program, is an incredibly frustrating experience for the user. Now, in the past the only way to deal with this would be to manually go through each of the corrupted or missing files and replace them one at a time, making it even more frustrating than before. However, to prevent you having to do that, in this article we are going to take a look at some of the alternate methods to update iTunes library rather than having to do so manually.
Part 1. Update iTunes Library with KeepVid Music
If you're not aware, then having to refresh your iTunes library can be a pretty difficult task, which is why that when the time comes to do just that, you must have the right tools for the job. If you're looking to have complete control over your iTunes library, then KeepVid Music is the perfect program for you. So, without further ado let's take a look at how you can update iTunes library with the KeepVid Music program.
Step #1 – Start off by downloading the KeepVid Music program and installing it accordingly. Once you have it installed, launch it.
Step #2 – After KeepVid Music has launched, click on the "ToolBox" option located on the top panel of the program.
Step #3 – From here you will be given several options to choose from, all of which are incredibly useful. For this method we are going to be using the "Clean up iTunes Library" option, so click on that.
Step #4 – A display window will appear showing you the details of what this feature will do. After reading the features, go ahead and click on the "Scan" button.
Step #5 – After you have clicked on the "Scan" button, KeepVid Music will scan all of the music within your iTunes library and will perform tasks such as removing duplicate songs as well as fixing missing tags etc.
On top of being able to clean up your iTunes library, you are also able to rebuild it. This features is incredibly useful if you have recently switched from an Android device to an Apple device and want to transfer your music over to your new device.
Step #1 – Make sure that KeepVid Music has been downloaded, installed, and is ready to go. Once again, click on the "Toolbox" option located on the top panel of the program.
Step #2 – Again, you will be shown several options similar to before, although this time we are going to be making use of the "Rebuild iTunes Library" feature, so click on that.
Step #3 – Before clicking on this option, make sure that you have connected both your Android and Apple device with USB cables.
Step #4 – KeepVid Music will then transfer your music library directly over to your new device, making the transferring process a whole lot easier.
As you can see, using KeepVid Music for this task is definitely the best option for you, and to make things better KeepVid Music has a lot more feature to offer than just the ability to update iTunes library. We will discuss some of the other features that this program has to offer later in the article, although let's move on to how you can refresh your iTunes library with iTunes.
Part 2. Update iTunes Library with iTunes
With iTunes being the standard program to use for Apple users out there, it doesn't mean that it is the best option which is available. While that's the case, for a lot of people who own Apple devices it may be the most convenient. With that in mind, let's take a look at how useful iTunes can be when it comes to update iTunes library.
Step #1 – Start by launching the iTunes program. If you already have it open, close the program and open it once again to allow for your library to be updated.
Step #2 – Once loaded, click on the "Options" tab that can be found at the top of the program. From here, select the "Choose library" option.
Step #3 – After clicking on that option, locate the folder which iTunes has been installed to and choose that destination as your library. Once you've done this, your iTunes library will refresh itself automatically.
If this method doesn't reassure you as much as you'd like and you'd like to take a more direct approach to the matter, then simply follow the steps below.
Step #1 – Just like before, launch or re-launch the iTunes program so that the library provides you with the most up to date information available.
Step #2 – On the iTunes program, click on the "File" tab at the top of the program and click on the "Add to Library" option.
Step #3 – Lastly, select the folder location of your iTunes library.
Both of these methods will provide you with a refreshed library and the most up to date information regarding your music as possible. There isn't a lot to both of the methods we have discussed regarding iTunes and there is no guarantee that they will work, so there is a fair chance that not all of your library will be refreshed. So, let's take a look at the final method we are going to discuss.
Part 3. Update iTunes Library with Copytrans
If you have tried using KeepVid Music but found that it wasn't quite for you, then the next suggestion would be to use the Copytrans program. With Copytrans, you are given a variety of different tools which allow for you to easily manage all of the data on your Apple device. With that in mind, let's take a look at how you can use Copytrans to successfully and easily update iTunes library.
Step #1 – First of all, ensure that you have both downloaded and installed the Copytrans program. After you have it installed, go ahead and launch it.
Step #2 – After you have launched the program and have it running smoothly, all of the music that is in your iTunes library will be displayed.
Step #3 – You may notice that not all of your music is displayed and that it will take a few minutes for all of the music in your iTunes library to be displayed, although this is just the program refreshing your iTunes library for you.
As hard as it is to believe, all you have to do is launch Copytrans for it to do its job. As mentioned before, while the concept is unbelievably simple, choosing this program over iTunes is the right option due to the number of issues that iTunes has had in the past.
A Look at KeepVid Music
As we previously said, KeepVid Music has a variety of other features available to all of its user making it one of the best programs out there for not only data management but more specifically music management. Some of the features that KeepVid Music has to offer consist of:
KeepVid Music is a program which is compatible with both Apple and Android devices.
If you recently purchased a new device, whether it be Apple or Android, you are able to easily transfer your whole music library in a matter of minutes without any problems.
Purchasing hundreds of songs to simply listen to on your device is completely absurd and is something which not many people can afford to do, especially since it is just music! With that in mind, KeepVid Music provides you with the ability to download music from platforms such as YouTube and SoundCloud directly to your iTunes library.
A common annoyance among iTunes users is that some of the information which is stored on iTunes about their music is wrong. Whether it be the wrong artist's name or a missing album cover. These things may not seem like a big deal, but noticing them every time that you listen to a particular song can become annoying. With KeepVid Music, you are able to fix these errors and make your entire iTunes library error free.
As mentioned before, you can use KeepVid Music to download music from multiple online platforms. While you are able to sync the downloaded music directly to your device, you are also able to use KeepVid Music to burn the downloaded music and the music stored in your iTunes library onto a disc.
You are also able to use KeepVid Music to backup all of the data stored on your device, not just your music library!
So as you can see, KeepVid Music is a program which offers a lot more than just being able to update iTunes library. Each of the features that KeepVid Music has to offer is incredibly useful to your average smartphone user, and to make things better, all of the features that KeepVid Music has to offer are compatible with both Apple and Android devices.
