Sooner or later, every pole dancer stays in the gym alone with poles. But one spends time efficiently and leaves the gym inspired by the resulted elements, another one rubs bruises, and the third one makes oneself comfortable on floor mats and flips through the Instagram pages.
So, today we are going to talk about the particularity of individual workouts: who they are suitable for or not.
First, let's analyse the pros.
This is an important point for those who do not like rigid framework or control.
Training individually, you make your own workout plan, regulate its duration and intensity.
You choose those elements you would like to train and perform a convenient set per exercise. And most importantly, you can always change the workout plan or take a break, if something goes wrong.
Many people know the feeling of embarrassment or discomfort for what they do when someone is watching, whether it is a coach or a pole colleague.
If you find it difficult to abstract your mind from the prying eyes of your group mates, you feel being pinned down and do not work at full strength, then individual workouts are an excellent solution.
If you are alone, you are free from the curiosity of others or the reproachful look of the coach. You can do any stunts without thinking about how you look from the side.
It is very helpful in case you constantly worry about what other people think about you.
Without control, without instructions and operative direction, a person thinks wider or simply on his/her own way.
Training with a coach, you cannot help copying him/her. Training individually, you try out your own path of development which will transform into a unique style or you will even come up with new elements.
Now, let's proceed to the cons.
Training alone, you are likely to spend a lot of time practicing some elements, and this, therefore, will slow down your progress. The coach knows how to perform stunts and preparatory exercises to them. He/she saves your time and speeds up the pace of development, suggesting the technique of performing that you would have to comprehend individually.
The risk of being injured during individual workouts is higher. If you are not familiar with the intricacies of a new element, you can be injured when performing it.
In addition, the coach will spot for you from falling down while practicing dangerous stunt.
It is difficult to comprehend the proper technique of performing elements alone. You have to capture yourself on video to see your mistakes. But if you are a beginner, you may not see mistakes in technique, and this will become a serious problem in the future.
People of weak motivation need to be tightly-controlled by the coach to train regularly and efficiently. During individual workouts, much time is spent on rest or unrelated matters.
Some experience is required to make up a perfect workout plan. If you have none, then it is most likely that your workout will be ineffective.
When making up a workout plan the coach matches uniform strength according to your level, taking into account the growing complexity.
We have got more cons than pros, but this does not mean that individual workouts are expendable or ineffective.
It can be concluded that individual workouts may not be suitable for everyone. People of high motivation, knowledge in the field of pole dance and the specific aim will succeed easier than those who do not know the real goal they follow.
If you do not have sufficient experience or skills, contact your coach for help in making up an individual training program. Be careful when practicing new elements individually and try to learn the performance technique before climbing up a pole.
Our instructors are all experts at the art, and have numerous credentials to their name. They have been pole-dancing for many years, and all of them have plenty to offer not only in technique, but in the hottest new moves and trends pole-dancers use today! Each and every one of them are entirely dedicated to their craft, and strive every day not only to improve their students techniques and help them find their unique style, but also to become the best teachers they possibly can to further mentor their students towards success. They care about teaching, they care about the art, and they care about you, the student.

Quicken Loans is switching up its leadership team, announcing three executive-level promotions on Friday, which includes longtime CEO Bill Emerson (pictured first), effective immediately.
The Detroit-based nonbank, which boasts it is the nation's second largest retail home mortgage lender, named Jay Farner (pictured second), who has been with Quicken Loans for 21 years, most recently serving as president and chief marketing officer, as the new CEO.
Emerson is being promoted to vice chairman of Rock Holdings, Quicken Loans' parent company. In his 24 years with the company, Emerson has not only overseen the growth of the Quicken Loans, but he has also been a major spokesperson for the mortgage industry, such as serving as the Mortgage Bankers Association's 2016 chairman.
Now in this newly created position, Quicken Loans said Emerson will not only continue to provide guidance to Quicken Loans, but will also take an expanded role advocating for the mortgage industry and leading the growth of the culture across the entire Rock Holdings portfolio.
And with Farner moving away from his previous role as president, Quicken Loans said former Chief Economist Bob Walters (pictured third), who has spent 20 years at the company, will now serve in the dual capacity of president and chief operating officer.
Jay Farner is Chief Executive Officer of Quicken Loans, the nation's largest mortgage lender. He is responsible for the leadership, growth and culture development across the company.
Jay began his career with Quicken Loans in 1996, and most recently served as President and Chief Marketing Officer. Under his leadership, the company launched Rocket Mortgage, which helped Quicken Loans become the largest mortgage lender in the country.
Quicken Loans employs 17,000 team members and has been among the top-30 companies on FORTUNE magazine's annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for 15 consecutive years.
Biggest achievement: Building relationships and teams that have grown over 16 years and helped build Quicken Loans Inc. into the company it is today.
"And then, to go through one of the most challenging times for our industry, and come through, says a lot about the leadership and the philosophy here, and the great team," Farner said.
As president and chief marketing officer, Farner is now tasked with building the Quicken brand. Billboards and commercials on ESPN are examples of what's to come, along with sponsorship of the inaugural Carrier Classic, which will pit Michigan State University and University of North Carolina men's basketball teams on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier Nov. 11.
"We've been under the radar for a while, now it's time to get the word out," he said.
Jay Farner, former head of Quicken Loans Web Mortgage Banking, joined Rock Financial in January 1996 and quickly became one of the company's top mortgage bankers. In early 1997, Jay became Director of Mortgage Banking in the Mortgage in a Box Division. Jay developed the leading production team in the Rock Financial Call Center.
Jay was promoted to Vice President of Mortgage Banking in May 1998. Since that time, Jay has worked to establish Quicken Loans as the #1 online lender in the United States. His passion and commitment have been a driving force for the growth of our web banking team.
Today, Jay is the CEO of One Reverse Mortgage and works very closely with Dan Gilbert and our Family of Companies. Companies such as North Central University, StyleCaster, ePrize, and many more. He serves as an integral part in catapulting the growth of these companies. He provides leadership assistance, strategic guidance and business plan development, as well as helping to build their cultures and make them better companies.

What Happened on Telemetry?
by Kristin E. Sandau, PhD, RN, and Marjorie Funk, PhD, RN| April 1, 2019
An elderly woman with a history of dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, and congestive heart failure (CHF) was brought to the emergency department and found to meet criteria for sepsis. Due to her CHF, she was admitted to a unit with telemetry monitoring, which at this institution was performed remotely. When the nurse came to check the patient's vital signs several hours later, she found the patient to be unresponsive and apneic, with no palpable pulse. A Code Blue was called, but the patient died. Although the telemetry technician had recognized progressive bradycardia and called the hospital floor several minutes before the code, he was placed on hold because the nurse was busy with another patient. While he was holding, he observed worsening bradycardia, eventually transitioning to asystole, and tried to redial the unit, but no one answered.

Again it's been a while since I last made a post but I'm hoping to make much more of an effort this year to post a lot more as I've been trying for the past few months to manage my time better and be more productive, which has been going well so far.
Also hope everyone has had a great New Year and Christmas!
So I thought that I'd write a post about some of the over arching topics I'll be writing about on this blog this year.
Currently I'm re-developing my climbing clubs website so it'll be a better experience for users on smaller screens (like phones) and also for users of larger screens. I'm using responsive design techniques for this and as I'm going through I'll be posting about responsive design related topics, some of which I feel aren't covered in many other blogs or websites.
Once I've finished the website I'll be posting a series of posts about how I started and the process I went through to make the site and a bit about some of the problems I encountered but I'm hoping to cover most of the problems in blogs posts leading up to that series. I'll be waiting until the end of the project so I can write a nice series of posts which all relate to lead onto each other which will be a lot easier once I've finished and know what I'll be writing about from start to finish and I'll be able to post them on a regular schedule as they'll hopefully all be written.
I'm going to finish of my PHP Secure login class soon (I know I've been dragging that out) but I'll be back on it soon, currently working on the wireframe of my climbing clubs website homepage (although I got carried away and have basically built the homepage, so it's not really a wireframe now). I'll only be finishing off the 'version 1' of the project because I want to read up more on OOP and MVC patterns and see what I can learn from those to implement in this project before going much further with it, that's the main reason I've been holding back a little on it.
I've also gone through all my old blog posts recently and corrected a few typos I noticed, added a little bit extra content to some (I've made it obvious in the post what was added & when) and I've also made a list of blog post series which I haven't finished and topics I've stated that I'll write about another time but so far haven't.
The only other thing that I'll be doing is moving this blog over to Wordpress, hoping to get that done this week sometime as I have some really good posts lined up which I hope will generate some comments!

Having an apple a day isn't just part of an old saying—it really is good for your health.
You've no doubt heard that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," but did you know that there really is some truth to that well-known expression?
A medium apple has just 95 calories, but packs in 4.4 grams of fiber, which can help you feel fuller longer. Apples also provide sources of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin A and folate. They're rich in polyphenols as well, which function as antioxidants that can help protect against heart disease and some cancers. To get the most out of apples' antioxidants benefits, be sure to leave the skin on. Many of the compounds that make apples such a great pick are concentrated in the skin.
You can find apples year-round, but in the fall they're at their peak in-season splendor. Apples are great on their own, but are also a tasty addition to many dishes. Enjoy them in Mindful's Dijon Turkey Burger with Apple Chutney, Johnny Appleseed Whole Wheat Pancakes,or Apple Cobbler with Cinnamon Biscuit. If you're heading out for a day of apple picking, stock up on local varieties. Or grab a bunch at your market so you can savor them at home in a variety of dishes.
In the morning, diced apples and a dash of cinnamon can help perk up your oatmeal. You can also top off low-fat yogurt with sliced apples and honey for a tasty parfait.
Apples make a satisfying afternoon snack when paired with any type of nut butter, and offer a surprising, crunchy addition to green salads, sandwiches or chicken salad.
For dinner, try slicing an apple thinly and sautéing until soft to compliment your favorite chicken or pork dish. Cored, baked apples with just a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon make an easy after-dinner treat as the temperatures start to drop.
When it comes to picking apples, there are 100 commercial varieties in the U.S. and many more heirloom varietals. Crisp, tart apples, like Granny Smith and McIntosh, are ideal for salads and baking. Sweeter varieties, including Red Delicious and Gala, are great for snacking. Whatever kind of apple you choose, you can feel good knowing you're making a healthy choice.

Q: Is the "object sender, EventArgs e" event handler signature just a convention? The traditional way to declaring an event is to create a custom args class by extending from EventArgs:
public class SomethingHappenedEventArgs : EventArgs

Then take that and a reference to the object declaring the event into the handler:
public SomethingHappenedHandler(object sender, SomethingHappenedEventArgs e)

But, of course, you don't have to do this. Your event handler delete can have any method signature you like.
So, is the "object, EventArgs" signature just convention?  Is it out-dated?  Or are there clear technical advantages to it that I'm not understanding?

A: It is Convention.
Events Tutorial (C#)

Although the C# language allows events to use any delegate type, the
  .NET Framework has some stricter guidelines on the delegate types that
  should be used for events.
  The .NET Framework guidelines indicate that the delegate type used for
  an event should take two parameters, an "object source" parameter
  indicating the source of the event, and an "e" parameter that
  encapsulates any additional information about the event. The type of
  the "e" parameter should derive from the EventArgs class. For events
  that do not use any additional information, the .NET Framework has
  already defined an appropriate delegate type: EventHandler.

Events, Delegates, and CLR Event System Conventions

By convention, event delegates in the .NET Framework have two
  parameters, the source that raised the event, represented by the
  sender parameter, and the data for the event, represented by the e
  parameter.

It is not out-dated.
Handling and Raising Events (.NET Framework 4.6 and 4.5)

The EventArgs class is the base type for all event data classes.
  EventArgs is also the class you use when an event does not have any
  data associated with it. When you create an event that is only meant
  to notify other classes that something happened and does not need to
  pass any data, include the EventArgs class as the second parameter in
  the delegate. You can pass the EventArgs.Empty value when no data is
  provided. The EventHandler delegate includes the EventArgs class as a
  parameter.

Ever since Kindle announced the ability to loan Kindle edition books between accounts, sites started popping up to help readers connect and share ebooks. The way it worked was they you'd sign up (for free) and let people know what books you wanted to read and which books you had available.
Then some email swapping would be done and you could go to Amazon and loan out your book.
Today, one of those sites, Lendle, has closed with the message: "Amazon has revoked Lendle's API access. Unfortunately, Lendle is down indefinitely. We will do everything we can to restore service soon."
I've asked the site owners for a little more info, but haven't heard back yet. I know Amazon are pretty tough about using Kindle in a website name but this isn't the case here. Booklending.com, for example, was once named Kindle Lending, and had to change.
What it will mean for people getting together and trading email addresses for book swaps, I don't know. Amazon can't monitor every forum out there on the net, and I don't see how swapping with an online friend would be deemed against the rules.
Lending is still alive and well. But we'll see what happens with sites that link up lenders and borrowers for bookswaps.

Recently deceased Conant alum receives 2021 Hometown Hero award

1977 Conant alum Norman F. Schwartz, Jr. has been named by Conant's Veterans Day Committee as the 2021 Hometown Hero. The Hometown Hero Award, established in 2014 by former Conant U.S. History teacher Frank Kernats, annually recognizes a former or current CHS student or staff member who has sacrificed time, effort, and energy in service to the country.
"The award is intended to recognize the service of any current or former Cougars," committee member and social studies teacher Andrew Mikrut said.
Schwartz passed away on Oct 3. at the age of 62. "The fact that this is the first time the recognition has been given to someone who has passed allows us to recognize and share even more stories of the sacrifices all Cougars, past and present, have made to our country," Mikrut said.
Schwartz was nominated for the award by his sister Vivian Nordmeyer, administrative assistant to assistant principal Jeannette Ardell. "I nominated him for this award because he was so proud to be an Army veteran and gave so much time to helping other veterans," Nordmeyer said. "It makes [our family] all proud to have a family member who served his country with pride and embraced being a veteran whole heartedly. I was very humbled to hear he was receiving this award. He would have been so honored."
According to Mikrut, Schwartz's graduation from Conant High School in 1977, service in the US Army from 1977 to 1984, and work in District 211 from 1985 to 2014 were all important factors in his selection as the 2021 Hometown Hero.
Both Schwartz's father and uncle served in the US Army. After graduating high school, Schwartz served six years and nine months as a military police officer, and nine months in physical security. He was initially stationed in Fort Hood, Texas before continuing his services overseas in Bremerhaven, Germany, where he met and married his wife and had their first daughter.
Following his service, Schwartz returned to District 211 in 1985 as a custodian at Schaumburg High School, eventually transferring to Conant and retiring in 2014 as a third shift supervisor.
Most recently, Norman was a commander for the Lake in the Hills American Legion Post 1231, an organization that provides service to veterans and community in the Lake in the Hills and Algonquin areas. As Post Commander, Schwartz presided over meetings of the post and executive committee and supervised the business affairs of the post as the Chief Executive officer. In addition, he served various roles such as adjunct, bar manager, rental manager, and event coordinator.
Nordmeyer describes Schwartz as an uplifting person who was devoted to serving his country, family, and community. "He had a voice that was boisterous and a laugh that was contagious. When Norman walked into the room you knew, because people would yell out "NORM" as they did in the TV show Cheers," Nordmeyer said.
"He was such a good-hearted person who would do anything to make sure everyone had a good time," Nordmeyer said, while recalling an instance when Schwartz and his two brothers embarked on an impromptu road trip to Florida.
According to Nordmeyer, one of Schwartz's most notable qualities was how deeply he cared about the people around him. "No matter how much of a hard time he would give you, he was always willing to help others; from driving to doctor appointments, helping you move across town or out of state, giving advice even if it was not the advice you wanted to hear and just listening when you needed to vent or just cry. Norm would give the shirt off his back for his family and friends," she said.
Schwartz's family will receive a plaque that recognizes him as Conant's 2021 Hometown Hero. In addition, his name will be added to the Hometown Hero plaque that hangs by the entrance to the Media Center.
Mikrut said it is important for Conant to continue the tradition of recognizing a Hometown Hero to help the community understand the sacrifices that have been made that allow our freedoms. "Although Norman is no longer with us, we can gain an appreciation of Veterans Day by sharing his story with the Conant community."

New Type of Dinosaur Egg Described from Eastern China
By Mike| 2017-10-21T10:51:19+01:00 October 20th, 2017|Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page|0 Comments
Umbellaoolithus xiuningensis "Eggciting" Fossil Egg Discovery
Chinese scientists have announced that a new type of fossilised dinosaur egg has been found. A single nest, discovered in 2011, contains the remains of at least nine dinosaur eggs. Their unique shape and surface structure makes them distinguishable from all other known dinosaur eggs, this has led to the establishment of a new oospecies. An oospecies is the equivalent to a species in taxonomy, the "double o" in front of the taxonomic rank indicates that the term is being used to classify fossil eggs. Several dinosaur oogenera and oospecies are known, but since this fossil nest and its contents does not resemble anything found before, a new oospecies has been erected.
The Fossilised Dinosaur Eggs were Found in Upper Cretaceous Strata

The photograph (above) shows the clutch of eggs, they have been numbered for reference purposes. Numbers 1-5 are the most complete, 6 is a fragment of eggshell resting on egg number 5, whilst egg numbers 7 through to 9 represent the preserved outline of eggs. The new species Umbellaoolithus xiuningensis was named after Xiuning county in Anhui Province (eastern China), where the egg fossil discovery was made.
From the Upper Cretaceous Huizhou Formation
The oval eggs are arranged along the long axis of all the eggs parallel to each other and not at the same horizontal level within the clutch, this nest arrangement, if an accurate depiction of the actual eggs after laying and not resulting from taphonomy, is very different from the elongated pairs, regular arrangement and radial orientation seen in other fossilised dinosaur nests (examples being the oogenera Macroelongatoolithidae and Elongatoolithidae).

With an average diameter of just under fourteen centimetres (13.86 cm), it is not known what type of dinosaur laid the eggs. The discovery was reported in an article in the Chinese Science Bulletin by Dr Huang Jiandong, from the Anhui Geological Museum and Wang Qiang, a deputy researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.


A yes person is someone who says yes, regardless of whether they have the skills, time, or inclination to do the task at hand. It is a person who boldly plows forward, like a pet troll on a leash, bumbling forward when its master tugs.
Is saying yes really that bad? I argue that it isn't.

Richard Madeley slams Robbie Williams' Qatar World Cup gig amid human rights backlash: 'Just say no'

Richard Madeley called out Robbie Williams and The Black Eyed Peas over their planned performance at this year's World Cup which will be held in Qatar.
The decision to hold the global event in Qatar has been met with intense scrutiny due to the country's treatment of local workers, and its criminalisation of same-sex marriage.
The Let Me Entertain You hitmaker is one of the big names taking the stage next month, alongside US musical group The Black Eyed Peas – which consists of rappers will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and J. Rey Soul – and Columbian singer J Balvin.
During Wednesday's Good Morning Britain, host Richard and Kate Garraway discussed the controversy after singer Robbie faced the wrath of the public following the announcement.
'It just seems to me that Robbie going to Qatar for money, and Black Eyed Peas going to Qatar for money, and David Beckham endorsing Qatar for money… they're all endorsing the regime,' he said.
Addressing the backlash, Richard continued: 'Well, they don't have to say yes, they don't have to go.'

'Robbie and The Black Eyed Peas, nobody is forcing them to go to Qatar, what do you mean it's unfair on them. They can just say no.'
The country has been accused of trying to use the World Cup to 'sportswash' their image and sportsman David has reportedly been paid £10m to promote tourism and culture in the region.
Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell previously urged David to 'think again' before promoting the country, saying: 'His work for Qatar could cause grave damage to his reputation.'

A spokesperson for David told Metro.co.uk at the time: 'David has been visiting Qatar regularly for over a decade and went on to play for PSG [Paris Saint-Germain], so he has seen the passion for football in the country and the long-term commitment that's been made to hosting the World Cup and delivering a lasting legacy for the region.
Following the controversy surrounding the World Cup's location, Qatar has said 'everyone is welcome' at the World Cup, which begins in November, and rainbow flags can be displayed in stadiums.

A Thought For Writers →
5 Things About Characters
Posted on August 9, 2013 by Kyell
I read a book recently that made me think about the relationship a writer has with his or her characters. Combined with the uptick this year in people asking me about a Waterways sequel (again), this has made me think about some things and then write them down in a list. You know, like you do.
1. The primary thing on my mind is this: make your story worthy of its characters. I write character-driven fiction, and so my stories usually center around a character learning something or experiencing something. If the story isn't doing anything for the character, I usually can sniff that out and either I change the story or abandon it. The character has been created out of nothing to go through this story, and if the story isn't worth it, then I might as well just let the character go on and live his life (or her life) and not bother them.
(How do you decide if a story is worth writing? That's up to you. The way I think of it is: is this experience something the character will be telling his/her friends about in ten years? Preferably in a "this changed my life" kind of way? Then yeah, it's probably worth it.)
2. The story must also be worthy of the side characters. The main character isn't the only one in any story. This goes back to something I've been saying for years, which is: imagine the side characters are the stars of their own book. How would they act? Is it significantly different from how they're acting? Then something's wrong. They are just as alive and just as important as the writer's main character, and even though they don't have as much screen time, they have to feel alive to the reader.
3. "Make your characters suffer" is not an adage that exists in a vacuum. One of the reasons I liked Heretic so much is that yes, Rukis is terrible to her characters. But she is not arbitrarily terrible. That's an important distinction. You want your characters to suffer because stories are about change, and it is fucking hard to get people to change–just think of your friend who drinks too much, or won't quit smoking even though they have trouble climbing a flight of stairs, or won't try to meet other people despite complaining about being lonely…these are just small examples and maybe not worthy of stories, but in them are the reasons we write stories: to teach us to change. The characters in the stories suffer so that we don't have to. They go through the extreme circumstances that would make us change our ways, they come to the realizations we would come to in those situations, and they pass that knowledge along to us. When Isolation Play was published, I got several letters from people saying that after reading it, they took steps to mend a broken relationship with their parents–in the cases where I heard the results of those attempts, they went well. Those people didn't have to get into fights with their boyfriends' fathers; they learned from the troubles of the characters in the book–as did the characters themselves. That suffering meant something, both to the characters and to us. What does arbitrary trouble teach us? We try to weave meaning and lessons into the events that happen in the real world, the suffering we see around us: earthquakes and tsunamis, car accidents and cancer. Stories are a way to wrap hardship in meaning; without the meaning, what's the point?(*)
(*) Yes, there are wonderful books like The Bridge of San Luis Rey and others whose point is attempting to distill meaning from the random events of life, and they are related to this. The characters in The Bridge of San Luis Rey who suffer are not the ones killed in the fall; they are the ones left behind, and from their grief, we understand the message the writer is conveying. What? You haven't read The Bridge of San Luis Rey? Go do it. It's short and it's worth it. Plus, then there'll be one more movie where you can say, "Pssht, the book was so much better."
4. Characters do not require a happy ending. Change and growth are often painful. I tend to view endings where the character has learned a lesson and is ready to embark on a better life as happy, even if the character is still smarting from the wounds incurred in the learning of the lesson. Some people don't see it that way, and that's fine. There are all kinds of stories and all kinds of readers, and as long as readers believe the characters, they will be engaged with them. Having a reader hate the story because the writer was so mean to the characters is, in a way, a success: the writer created characters the reader engaged with and cared about, and didn't want bad things to happen to. But ultimately, the writer's only obligation to the characters is to end the story well.
Yes, this is almost the same as making the story worthwhile, but I wanted to call out endings in particular because they are so important. The ending has to leave the character in a state where the lesson has been learned or not, where the story has been brought to a close or left open in an acceptable way. Wrapping everything up neatly, giving someone a happy ending when it isn't earned by the story, those can be as bad as an unworthy story.
5. Characters will let you know when they are ready for their story to be told. Just from my own cast, we have Dev and Lee, and while I think Dev is dragged unwillingly into book after book, Lee is a drama queen who wants the spotlight even as he protests that it's too bright. They continue to bother me to write about them, finding stories to put them on stage with, demanding attention. Kory and Samaki, by contrast, seem worn out by their experiences, and are content to just go on with their uninteresting, happy lives. They had their moments and now would like to just shut the door, thank you very much. Believe me, if there were a story to be told with those two, I know there are people out there who want to read it. You write me and come up to me at conventions and make wistful comments on forums and Facebook, and I appreciate all of that, really. I love that you love them so much that you want to see more of them. It's just that they don't want to be in a story right now. See above: stories are about conflict and growth and change and suffering, and those kids just want to get through college.
Lee, on the other hand, would say, "I'll live happily ever after when I'm dead." So you know, those guys have two more books coming, and probably one more after that, and when I'm ninety I'll be writing about them arguing about the holovision volume in the retirement home and whether to get a prosthetic tail or not. Unless they get worn out. Unless they stop coming to me and demanding attention. And then I'll turn to someone else (what up, Sol?).
Because that's the other thing about characters, the thing every writer has to remember: if the character isn't right, you can always make a new one.
Just do it with care. Because if you don't care about your characters, how can you expect your readers to?

New on DVD and Blu-ray for June 13, 2017 "John Wick 2" and "The Lego Batman Movie"
Starring: Keanu Reeves
In the sequel to "John Wick," everybody's favorite hit man now has a price on his head and must defend himself against a barrage of assassins out to get him.
"John Wick: Chapter 2" is an action-filled film with plenty of violence, a high body count and lots of stunts.
But the film is basically a rehash of the original. Basically the producers are saying to their audience, "If it worked once it will work again, they'll never know." And judging from the film's $166.8 million dollars it earned globally, maybe they're right.
But, I was hoping for much more.
Simply the film did not stretch or task the John Wick character at all, and only offered cartoonish villains for the chase. In essence, the movie only delivered on the garnish, not on the main entree.
"John Wick: Chapter 2" gets a C and is rated R.
Add both "John Wick" films to your queue at bit.ly/dvdtonyt. And check out thousands of more titles in the DVD Netflix library.
Starring the Voices of: Will Arnett and Michael Cera
Gotham City is facing its biggest challenge, The Joker is back and wants to take over the city. But Batman is preoccupied with a new adopted son and a new police commissioner who wants the caped crusader to drop the vigilante routine and work as a team member.
"The Lego Batman Movie" is one of the best surprises that hit theaters this year. Funny, poignant, touching and fun, the film offers big laughs and great gags all the while teaching us that we all are a part of the team.
"The Lego Batman Movie" gets an A and is rated PG.

National Radon Action Month – Is Your Chattanooga, Tennessee Home Infected With Radon?
As a resident of the Chattanooga area, you are at risk from radon contamination. In fact, radon is a problem throughout the nation, and throughout the world as well. If you have not yet had your Chattanooga area home tested for radon, it is important to do so as soon as possible.
The month of January gives Chattanooga area residents the perfect opportunity to have their homes tested for radon. The Environmental Protection Agency has recently announced that January is National Radon Action Month, and Chattanooga area residents can expect to see public service announcements and receive special offers on radon detection and mitigation services.
If you are not already aware of the potential health hazards of radon in the Chattanooga area, it is important to educate yourself about this serious problem. According to statistics compiled by the World Health Organization, radon exposure is responsible for some 20,000 cancer deaths in the United States, and 100,000 around the world. That means that radon exposure is responsible for some 15 percent of lung cancer cases, and there is no reason to believe the statistics are any different for residents of the Chattanooga area.
In fact, exposure to radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among those who do not smoke, so even non-smokers in the Chattanooga are at risk. If you have not yet had your Chattanooga are property tested for radon, every day you delay could be putting yourself and your family at greater risk.
That is because radon can seep into your Chattanooga area home through the tiniest of cracks, and slowly accumulate and pollute the indoor air. You could have a problem with radon and not even know it, because the gas is colorless and odorless. Radon gas is also radioactive, and that is why makes it so dangerous to residents of the Chattanooga area. If you want to protect yourself, your home and your family, it is a good idea to take advantage of National Radon Action Month to have your property tested.
National Radon Action Month in January is the Best Time to Test for Radon!
SWAT will be offering Chattanooga area residents a number of discounts and special offers during January, both to celebrate National Radon Action Month and to encourage those residents to have their homes tested. If you have been putting off having your Chattanooga area home tested out of fear of the cost, you can rest easier with these special discounts and other offers.
As the largest radon mitigator in the nation, SWAT has access to more certified technicians than any of its competitors, so you know you will get an effective and reliable treatment for your radon problem. Having a certified technician work on your Chattanooga area home is essential, since radon is a specialized problem and often a difficult one to treat. The first step is knowing that you have a problem in your Chattanooga area home, so contact us today during National Radon Action Month to see how we can help you and your family.

Air Passengers With Samsung Note 7 Phones Face Fines In U.S.
Passengers who try to carry Samsung Electronics Note 7 smartphones on flights will have them confiscated and may face fines under an emergency U.S. order that significantly expands restrictions on the devices linked to almost 100 incidents of overheating and fires.
The devices won't be allowed aboard passenger or cargo aircraft even if they've been shut off, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday. Flight restrictions will be extended to each of the 1.9 million Note 7s sold in the U.S. starting at noon New York time on Saturday.
"We recognize that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority," U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. "We are taking this additional step because even one fire incident in flight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk."
Samsung on Tuesday said it was halting production and sales of the device following the latest spate of smoke, overheating and fire incidents in what was supposed to be a version that replaced a faulty lithium-ion battery with a safe one. The company estimates the crisis will cost it $5.3 billion in profits.
The government urged passengers not to side-step the order. "Passengers who attempt to evade the ban by packing their phone in checked luggage are increasing the risk of a catastrophic incident," the DOT said in a release. "Anyone violating the ban may be subject to criminal prosecution in addition to fines."
People in the midst of travel who have the phones were urged by the government to contact Samsung or their wireless carrier "immediately" to arrange for a replacement phone.
The government now considers the Note 7s "forbidden hazardous material" under U.S. law. Anyone observed with one of the phones will be prohibited from boarding an aircraft, the release said.
Airlines and an industry trade group were notified of the impending ban by the FAA on Friday.
Samsung is working with U.S. officials and airlines to notify owners of the phone about the emergency order, SungIn Cho, a spokeswoman for Samsung Electronics America, said in an e-mail.
"We have encouraged airlines to issue similar communications directly to their passengers," Cho said. "We realize this is an inconvenience but your safety has to remain our top priority."
The action by aviation regulators follows the Consumer Product Safety Commission's announcement on Thursday it was almost doubling the number of Note 7 phones covered under a U.S. government-sanctioned recall. The consumer agency has received 96 reports of overheating batteries in the U.S., including 23 since the first recall was announced on Sept. 15.
At least 13 people reported being burned by the devices and in 47 cases there was damage to property, according to the consumer agency.
Consumer agency Chairman Elliot Kaye on Friday also renewed calls to consumers to take advantage of the recall.
"The fire hazard with the original Note 7 and with the replacement Note 7 is simply too great for anyone to risk it and not respond to this official recall," Kaye said in the Transportation Department statement. "I would like to remind consumers once again to take advantage of the remedies offered, including a full refund. It's the right thing to do and the safest thing to do."
For passengers who arrive at the airport with a Note 7, and can't return it to their car or hand it to someone not flying, American Airlines will place the device in an area for storage of hazardous materials. The person can reclaim it after the trip, said Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for the carrier.
The airline also is updating announcements for passengers checking baggage, before clearing security, at airport gates and on board planes about the ban, he said.
Aviation regulators in September ordered passengers and airline crews to power off any recalled Note 7s that were carried aboard flights and forbid the devices from being charged. The Note 7s were also prohibited from checked bags.
The expanded action completely bans the devices from all airline flights and applies to all smartphones covered by the latest recall.
FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc., two major delivery services in the U.S., had already said they wouldn't ship the phones via planes, restricting them to ground vehicles. The devices also have to be packed in special boxes designed to safely house recalled batteries.
Delta Air Lines Inc. is adding special containment bags for phones or other electronic devices that overheat or catch fire to at least some of its aircraft, the carrier said on a conference call Thursday. Southwest Airlines Co. is in the process of selecting a vendor for similar bags and hopes to have them on its planes in early 2017, spokeswoman Lori Crabtree said Friday.
A number of foreign-based airlines adopted the U.S. ban on Saturday, including Sydney-based Qantas Airways Ltd., Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. and Rome-based Alitalia.
Lithium-based batteries power millions of devices, from smartphones and laptops to power tools. They hold enough energy to create heat and sparks if they fail, which can ignite the highly flammable chemicals inside.
The initial wave of Note 7 failures were linked to batteries made by one of two suppliers to Samsung. The cells had been squeezed into a container pouch so tightly that when they were installed in the phones they became pinched, damaging the interior. That led to short circuits that triggered the failures, Kaye said in September.
More recent incidents involving replacement phones containing batteries built by a second manufacturer appear to result from a different flaw, a person familiar with discussions between government agencies and Samsung told Bloomberg.

Bristol Blues Muzzy Debut Tonight, led by Barry Lyons
June 5, 2015 Uncategorizedathomeatfenway
by Matt Monitto, SABR CT Correspondent
On June 3, we had the opportunity to interview Barry Lyons, former New York Met (1986-90) and current manager of the newly-formed Bristol Blues of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League. Mr. Lyons was very forthcoming in his interview and clearly enthusiastic about the upcoming season and the ability to manage a brand-new team. Here's what he had to say:
Barry Lyons (BL): I'd be glad to tell you the pitching rotation for the first three games. Starting tomorrow night in Brockton will be George Lund…. On Friday night, Kyle Dube will be the starting pitcher, home opener…. Lund is pitching Thursday, Dube Friday, and [Steve] Wallace on Saturday. Sunday is To Be Determined. But we will go with a five-man rotation, but these first four games, all the pitchers – we have nine guys right now, we're expecting two more guys between Friday and Sunday, maybe a third, so our staff is not full yet, but we have three guys that just lost out in the regionals this past weekend that'll be joining us sometime probably hopefully over the weekend. But the eight, nine guys we have will all get a chance to pitch over the next four games.
As far as the position players, I'm very encouraged with what I've seen. I like the talent level, I like the enthusiasm, and I'm very excited about this summer and about the ballclub that we have. Of course, there will always be changes over the course of the season, but starting out with, I really like what we have, and I'm confident that these guys are going to work hard and that we're going to provide an awesome product on the field and in the community. The Bristol Blues organization is first-class, and I'm thankful to be a part of it. Very excited about this summer. I think fans are really going to enjoy coming out and watching this ballclub, being a part of this awesome setting here in Muzzy Field.
We've got some versatility in all the players as well, which is always a bonus, having guys that play multiple positions and are interchangeable. As I told them, these first two to three weeks, I'm going to do my best to give everyone an opportunity to show what they can do. We'll mix up the lineup and move guys around, and see how they respond. The guys that produce and really show out will get, obviously, the majority of the playing time, but everyone will play and everyone will get a fair chance to show what they can do. Our goal is to be the best ballclub we can be, come April 1 – I mean, August 1 – as we strive to win a championship. That's our goal.
Q: Is it nice to [inaudible] that this is your birthday?
BL: It is, actually, and other than my wife and daughter being here in town with me, I can't imagine spending it in a better way. I love this ballpark, I love everything about everyone I've met within the Blues organization, and I'm excited to be managing again, putting the uniform on and leading young men who are pursuing their goal and their dreams, much as I did many moons ago. It's an honor and a privilege, and I'm very blessed. It's an incredible day so far.
Q: You've been talking about the community. Do you have any idea how you're going to be involved with the community in Bristol?
BL: Well, we're open to anything, and as I told Rick Muntean, the general manager, who's been here probably since October, maybe, he has had nothing but wonderful things to say about the community and the reception he's received, and the Bristol Blues have been warmly welcomed here. We have all kinds of special nights planned and promotions and things of that nature, but I've been very demanding of our players to be very respectful and to encourage people they meet on a daily basis to come out and watch the Bristol Blues play. We're willing to do anything to not only blend in in a community, but to help promote this community and to help encourage kids, not just in baseball but in all of their pursuits. I believe the Bristol Blues organization and ballclub are going to make a significant impact in this community this summer, and anything I can do to assure that and to assist in that, I'm willing to do and would love to do.
Q: What's it like for you managing a brand-new team in an area that hasn't had baseball in a while?
BL: Well, it's a great opportunity to establish our brand and to make a mark in this community and provide wholesome family entertainment and what I want to label as "winning baseball." We're not going to win every game, but we're going to play a brand of baseball that is exciting to watch and entertaining while being aggressive and holding nothing back. We want to win. Every day we put the uniform on, our goal is to win that game that day.
Q: Have there been many challenges in bringing together all these players from different colleges and different regions as a team?
BL: Not one. Not one challenge at all so far for me as the manager of the club. Now, Rick Muntean I think has done an amazing job of assembling a great group of not only talented ballplayers but fine young men, and that's not always easy to do. It's sometimes easy to see the talent when you're observing the player, but to know that they're good people and they're going to represent the organization in a positive way sometimes is the toughest part. But I have great feeling inside and a gut feeling that each one of these kids knows why he's here and knows what's expected, and I've made that very clear to them over the first five days.
But I do want to say Rick Muntean has been in the business 30 years, and putting this whole thing together, a lot of it has fallen on him, and I think he's done an amazing job. We have worked very well together so far and I expect that to only improve and to grow over the course of the summer. The ownership group has made me really feel special and has put me in a great position to do what I love to do, and I'm very thankful for that.
Q: With the changes that are being made in Major League Baseball, with statistics, new metrics of measurement, new pace of play rules, what is your opinion on those? Do you see that as being a positive change, or…?
BL: I guess my first instinct, to see a clock put in baseball, to me is… disturbing, I'm going to be nice. That is the one element of the game I don't think they need to screw with. But due to TV and selling advertising and marketing and creating revenue, that's what it's come to. But the purist in me, and the passionate baseball lifer that I am, I don't like that. And some of the quote-unquote "sabermetrics" or these newly-found ways of measuring things… I don't understand 'em. At all. I don't care for 'em, I don't use 'em. I manage by gut instincts and by knowledge and wisdom gained in my fifty-plus years in baseball.
As I told these guys: Be aggressive, attack the baseball as a hitter. I'm not into the walks – I mean, I love my walks, don't get me wrong, but I'm not into just getting up there, taking pitches, and trying to work the count, and trying to get that "perfect pitch." I think that has led to a lot of the strikeouts that you see these days. Guys are getting behind in the count by taking good pitches to hit because they're borderline or they're not right down the middle or they're not right where they want it, and to me, I don't agree with that style of baseball – with that approach to hitting – at all. I was a very aggressive hitter and I attacked that first pitch if it was presentable. Don't get me wrong, I swung at a lot of bad pitches in my career, but I can promise you I never took a 2-0 fastball down the middle. I never took a 3-1 fastball anywhere near home plate. Rarely did I not attack a first-pitch fastball unless it was obviously blatantly outside or what have you. I believe in being aggressive, and if a kid is aggressive and making mistakes, I have no problem whatsoever. If a kid's passive or makes a mental mistake or is not focused, then we've got issues, and we'll address it, and he'll learn from it.

As the energy industry continues to evolve, the ways in which companies innovating are becoming ever more complex. In todays distributed world, multiple systems are being implemented to keep operations running smoothly– and with added systems comes influxes of data. Now, businesses are finding it increasingly difficult not only store their data effectively, but to also analyze it accurately. To this end, innovators are starting to think about the ways in which energy companies store data, and whether it's possible to take successful ideas from other industries and apply them to energy– namely blockchain technology.
Blockchain technology is most commonly known for having transformed online transactions. Digital currency systems like Bitcoin are enabled by blockchain technology; a method by which every transaction is essentially recorded and linked at an incredibly granular level on what's called a 'block.' These blocks create a blockchain—and since each block must be completed before another can be created, authentications are decentralized. With decentralization, blockchains are able to connect disconnected data; which is where this concept becomes relevant and even aspirational for the energy industry.
What impact can this technology make in the energy industry? Energy companies handle massive amounts of incredibly granular data, but it's still imperative that they have compliance as well as accurate information and reporting across departments and initiatives. Some organizations, such as RWE and Filament, are starting to explore how blockchain technology can help.
In order for energy companies to keep up with advances in how data is recorded and stored, it's imperative they view 'going digital' holistically. Many companies succeed in creating a cohesive front-end experience for their customers, focusing on consumer-facing billing and monitoring systems. While these systems are important, backend automation is just as essential to a positive customer experience.
With centralized and automated backend systems, companies can track their data and gain insights from customized reports. While the energy industry will likely continue to adopt blockchain technology in the years to come, the quickest way to gain the same type of cohesive data storage and analysis when dealing with massive amounts of granular data is with a centralized backend platform. Both methods allow for securely storing information in a way that provides the visibility organizations need to make smarter business decisions based on accurate, real-time data.
For more on how blockchain technology is transforming the gridchain, hear from Mercatus, RWE and Intel.

Liberty Inspection Group owner, Chris Earley, was featured on the Home Improvement USA radio show. In the interview, Chris covers some of the most important aspects of keeping your home safe for children.
Listen to the interview and check out some of his tips below for keeping your home safe for your children.
1) Check for buckets.Go around the house and check for buckets. Five-gallon buckets can hold a lot of water, and if you have toddlers, like I do, they can get curious. The could fall into the bucket head first, and they will not be able to get out. Even an empty bucket can be dangerous, so keep them out of reach of kids.
2) Beware of tubs. It's important to remember that drowning is the number two cause of infant death behind motor vehicles accidents. There's a story that we often hear–a family goes and stays overnight at somebody's house. They don't have a crib or a pack and play so they put the kid in the tub. In the middle of the night, the child wakes up, curious about the faucets and turns on the water. The child's blanket then could potentially clog the drain, and within minutes the tub can fill. Overall, it's best to keep small children away from tubs.
3) Put up barriers. If you have a pool, spa, pond, fountain or other body of water outside your back door, it's important to install barriers to keep children out. One thing we often check for during home inspections is if people have pet doors. A pet door could lead to the deck, which leads to the pool. You want to make sure you have a lock on it. Something else we check is actually basically an alarm on the doors so when the door opens it sounds the alarm. So if your kid opens the door going out on the deck, you're going to hear that alarm. Every pool should be fenced in with child safety locks.
4) Evaluate your garage. Garages may pose a crushing hazard. When we do home inspections we check for two safety provisions. One being the beam detectors, and most of the new garage door openers have these. If you're at home now you can go, or when you get home, your homework is to go see if you have beam detectors. On either side of the rails for the garage door should be two little boxes, and basically when the garage door is coming down, I just stick my foot in front of it and the garage door should reverse. They should be in place. Some of the older garage door openers don't have them but you can get a retrofit kit and you can add that onto them. The other one we check the garage door openers for is the resistance test. So if it's coming down, I'll put my arms in front of it or you can put a block of wood in front of it when it comes down and hits something, it should reverse. It's based on a tension screw, so if it goes down and keeps on going down you can adjust that pretty easily with a little common screwdriver. But those are the two tests we check the garage door opener for. It's just a crushing hazard for children.
5) Fix fall hazards. Guardrails and handrails, as far as child safety is concerned, can be a fall hazard. Up until somewhat recently, a lot of times there's been gaps in the hand rails that are bigger than four-inches. Four inches is the current standard. You don't want to have anything more than that, with something you can pass a 4-inch object through the opening, which is basically the size of a toddler's head. They could fall through, so if you have something, like a piece of plexiglass, a piece of mesh, or a piece of netting of some sort, you might be able to use that to bring the guardrail up to current standards.
6) Install cabinet latches. One big thing you need to think about is poisoning. A lot of people end up getting the cabinet latches to keep kids from getting into poison. The easiest thing is to put them out of reach somehow, but there's different things you put on the cabinet to help prevent this. You can put protective handles on the doorknobs where you're gonna keep cleaning products, but keeping things out of reach one way or another is the best way to do that. It's also good to have the Poison Control phone number handy.
7) Monitor Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills about 300 people each year in the US. Carbon Monoxide is a byproduct of any fuel that you're burning. If your breath enough of it in, you faint, you get headaches, you could throw up, and eventually you could die. The way to prevent this is really buying a carbon monoxide detector. Current standards generally call for one per home, and you want to put it somewhere where you can hear it, but at the same time, it's close to whatever in your home is is producing the Carbon Monoxide, which would be your furnace or heater. It could be just as easy as having a battery operated Carbon Monoxide detector, similar to a smoke detector. You want to test it, similar to a smoke detector, and change the batteries twice a year. And never grill in your garage!
8) Use smoke detectors. Generally we look for one per bedroom, as well as one per floor. Some municipalities will call for them to be hardwired. We look for at least the battery powered ones, and you should check those once a month. You should change out the batteries a couple of times a year. Every municipality is a little bit different as far as what they require, but generally the minimum is one per floor.
9) Have an exit emergency plan. Now when it comes to fire safety the family should have an exit emergency plan. At this point we pretty much review our plan here every time we hear a fire truck in the neighborhood. You want to talk with your family and want to tell him where to meet if something happens. You want to say we'll meet out at the end of the driveway or we'll meet over at the neighbor's house. You have to reinforce this, so if something ever happens, you're not going back in the house to look for your kid to find out where they are, and they're not running around looking for you. Everybody should know to go down to wherever your meeting point is and that that plan should be set in stone.
10) Have a window exit. Most townships require that you put in another way of getting out of the basement besides stairs You want to have a window that is easy to open and big enough to have at least one person get out at a time. Once and a while we see windows with the burglar bars on them, while these may keep burglars out, they also may prevent you from properly exiting your home during an emergency. You should buy the ones where you can release them from the inside.
11) Check the closet, crawl spaces, and attics. The main thing we check for with these spaces is that every door has a knob on the inside and outside. Once and a while, especially in older homes that aren't up to current standards, we find a closet door that has no knob on the inside, meaning you could end up stuck. Just be sure that if there's a latch on the outside, that there is also one on the inside.
Bonus: I recommend visiting the Consumer Product Safety Commission website. You can also sign up to receive email alerts, which will tell you about recent recalls.
