From Broadway to Bublé – Starring George Dyer |Christmas Season, COVID-19 & A New Year
Tiffany Lyle
Based around the values of "Faith, Family, & Freedom" From Broadway to Bublé – Starring George Dyer is a well-loved and entertaining variety presentation showing at the Americana Theater off of W Hwy 76 in Branson, Missouri. We recently had an interview with Mr. Dyer and covered everything topic-wise from the Christmas season to what the future holds for this wonderful show in 2021.
The star of the show, George Dyer, is known for his Award-Winning tenor voice and overall charming, witty and accommodating stage presence. To give a little background on how he started out here, Dyer told us he has been in Branson since 2009 – the year he opened his first show at the Dutton Family Theater. In 2017, George moved to the Americana Theatre and has "been here since."
Before coming to Branson, George made a career singing Opera for nearly 16 years. He told us: "I have performed all over the country and the world, throughout the United States, Canada, and select locations in Europe and the Middle East, especially while I was singing Opera full-time," Dyer said. "My musical tastes are wide ranging and varied, and my show reflects that variety."
With such a diverse range in musical talent and capabilities, George moves his show through a number of genres and periods of music with ease. In other words, audience members will hear multiple songs from hit movies, Broadway musical productions, and songs from #1 hit artists such as Michael Bublé, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Josh Groban, Mario Lanza & more!
'From Broadway to Bublé – Starring George Dyer' Show Overview
Dyer said songs performed during the 2 hour show change throughout the year, with different artists and genres highlighted throughout the season. "The same goes for our Broadway hits," Dyer said."The mainstays are songs from 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Les Misérables' but we, over the years, have performed hits from 'Oklahoma', 'Man of LaMancha', 'Wicked', 'Hamilton', and MANY more. There is so much from Broadway we could change the line up every year and not do the same songs from one season to the next for years."
George said guests "Will also hear hits from Disney, 'The Greatest Showman', and – of course – the world of Grand Opera which, because of the prerecorded video introductions and English translations we play on our video screens, is one of the most popular segments of our show." These prerecorded video introductions give insight to each performance so audiences know a little background and detail behind the song instead of just hearing it performed.
Dyer is joined on stage by his lovely and talented wife of 33 years, Clarisse, who is a major part of the show as she appears on stage several times to perform her own powerful solos or sing duets beside her husband in perfect harmony. George and Clarisse have 4 talented children, Kendra, Mitchell, Garrett, and Kassidy; each who have performed in the show but have now moved on after getting married. However, some of their children do return as guest stars for special shows, so keep your eyes open!
After 11 seasons of performing in Branson, Dyer and his show have been nominated for several awards over the years including awards for "Vocalist of the Year", "Male Vocalist of the Year" (6 times), as well as being nominated for "Best New Show", "Morning Show of the Year" and "Matinee Show of the Year" multiple times. Individuals who have seen the show have also left one positive review after another praising the dynamic duo and their children for their humor, wit, charm and talent. The show currently has a 5 star rating on Google. Here's one review from a satisfied audience member:
"We come to Branson twice per year and each time we see a few shows we've never seen before, however every time we will see George Dyer's show. His voice is incredible, his show magnificent, his family is so very talented. This is our favorite show in Branson out of the 20+ we've seen. We highly recommend it."
– Carol McFall, Google Reviews
Christmas Show Segment
During the winter months of November and December, "From Broadway to Bublé – Starring George Dyer" includes Christmas songs in the second half and presents hit holiday classics such as: "Marshmallow World", "Believe", "O Holy Night", "Breath of Heaven/Mary Did You Know", "Ave Maria" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas". George said including a segment dedicated to the Christmas season presents a "win-win" for audiences as they get a taste of the regular season show as well as experience some "inspiring Christmas music" in the second half. Before the second half of the show transpires, intermission will give audience members a chance to purchase George Dyer CD's, DVD's, shirts & and other fun merchandise and get any item autographed by George himself!
Whether George, his wife, or his children are performing regular season shows, during the holidays, or touring around the country, George told us in his interview there's a special aspect to performing live that stands out to him as it establishes a sense of energy and connection.
"There is a very real energy that is shared in a live show from the stage to the audience and back," George explained. " It is a symbiotic experience. What I try to do during my show is to give my audience an escape from their daily lives and forget about their worries or cares through the power of music, lighting, and media we project on our video screens, and inspire and uplift them throughout. I hope they experience a complete immersion into the emotions created through those means. Music is also very healing, and I have loved those times when an audience member shares with me how much a song or the show itself helped them through a difficult time in their lives."
Even with the limits of COVID-19 restrictions, George and his wife continue to go above and beyond in making audiences feel at home and safe during every showing. Dyer expanded more on the struggles and challenges of COVID-19 as he explained: " We have gone from finding ways to increase our attendance numbers, profits, show improvements, etc., to finding ways to survive so that there can be a 2021 season. Gratefully, our show will be returning next season! As a theater we have had to make the mandatory adjustments that come from trying to stay open during a pandemic, with all of the cleaning and sanitizing protocols, along with mask wearing and social distancing, all to keep our staff and audience members as safe as possible, and have the confidence to know that we are doing all we can to ensure their safety and health."
2021 New Year Plans
Speaking of 2021, George said he and Clarisse will hit the road to do everything from leading tours to performing on cruise ships. "We will have a limited performance schedule here in Branson until November where we will have our usual slate of 3 shows per week," George said. Performances will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10:00 am. George said the show will follow that same schedule when they are in town performing.
If all the diverse talent and capabilities you've read about so far about this talented performer and his family weren't enough… there's more! George speaks an impressive 8 languages, some of which you will hear in song form and has additionally performed Opera all over the world; a fact that's evident as you hear his strong voice carry each note with the ease and practice of a true professional during the show. Essentially, George and Clarisse represent the true essence of the world of theater, or at least what theater should be. If you appreciate Broadway musicals, hit classics and the uplifting sounds of Opera, this is the show you need to see!

If you do things the same way as everyone else, you aren't likely to stand out from the crowd. But if you can do things in a new, unexpected way, you will make much more of a mark – and when it comes to photography, having a special technique could allow you to hugely expand your client base and see more work coming in.
While there are many defined and established styles of photography, mixing them up together can have much more interesting and unusual results. One idea is to take landscape photographs as if you were taking a portrait instead. Using portraiture techniques on landscapes without human presence can take some getting your head around, but if you try out these exercises, you should be able to see what a difference it makes.
When taking portraits, one hugely important rule of thumb is to ensure good focus on the eyes. Like all great rules, it is possible to break it successfully, but more often than not, poor focus on the eyes can ruin a photograph.
But how do you apply this to landscape photography? In essence, you need to find the focal point, the one thing that people will be drawn to the most. This could really be anything – it's down to figuring out what it is in your particular frame. Is it a tiny detail, like a cabin lost halfway up a giant mountain? Is it a centre point of the image, where everything converges into one place? Could it even be something that looks like an eye, to trick the viewer into looking closer?
Animals, plant life, rocks, – any feature that stands out in your composition could be your 'eye'. Once you have it lined up with great focus, you can also take it one step further. If your 'eye' was really in a face, how would you compose the rest of the frame? Think about this, and you may come up with some surprising compositions that you would not otherwise have tried.
One key portrait technique is to get level with the face of your subject, thus putting yourself directing in their eyeline (and they in yours). This gives a pleasing result because we see them directly on. Photographers can manipulate this level to create different effects – and the same can be done once you apply it to landscape compositions – but let's start with the basic idea.
If you were level on a portrait, that would been being at the same height as the person's face – again, the focal point of the image. So, what's the focal point in your landscape? Is it a particular point on a mountain slope? The tops of the trees? A sign by the side of the road?
Coming up with your focal point should be easy enough, but getting level with it will be more of a challenge. This may require you to learn some climbing skills! If you are travelling around, you could achieve height by climbing to the top of your car, hiking up a hill or mountain, or going to the top of a building. Of course, the important thing is to remain safe, as well as getting a great shot.
When you find your ideal height to match your focal point, take a shot and compare it with how your image would have looked from normal ground height. What you will notice is that the landscape visibly changes, as your perspective is so very different. By taking that extra step to change your viewpoint, you could create an image with a unique point of view that no one else has pursued before. That's pretty exciting!
When taking a portrait, the photographer will frame the sitter very carefully. There are two ways to do this. The first is to crop close to the sitter, bringing them into the main focus of the image and removing any distractions. The second is to bring a wider view, where you can gain some context of the person's life and their story. For example, you could photograph a baker close up to showcase the person themselves. However, if you want to tell a story about their work in the bakery, you would more likely frame them within their kitchen, surrounded by floury countertops and balls of dough.
The same applies when you look at a landscape. Again, find your focal point – your star of the show. You should be familiar with it by now! Next, look at the scenery around it. What kind of context does it give you? If our baker was standing in a busy street, the background noise of people walking by would give us no extra beneficial details to the story – it would only be confusing to the reader. Similarly, there may be elements around your focal point that would disturb or confuse the narrative you are trying to give if they were positioned in frame.
Let's give a working example so that you can understand this one better. Let's say you are taking a photograph of a mountain range, with one particular peak as your focal point, and you want to create an image which tells of the beauty of wild nature. You could focus in on this one peak to make a specific point about it. If you bring your frame out and include other peaks from the same range, then you tell a slightly different story. If you move out far enough that you now include the ski slopes, the huts and chalets, and the lights of the ski lift, you are suddenly telling a different narrative indeed – one about man working with the mountain, and using it for entertainment or commerce.
By choosing your frame for your landscape as carefully as you would a portrait subject, you can control the narrative more easily, giving your images more impact overall. This is a key skill to learn, particularly for commercial photographers.
There are lots of ways to cross genres, but this is definitely an exciting place to start. Give it a try, and see what comes up in front of your lens – you may be surprised at what happens when you start treating elements of the landscape as if they were characters in your story. This way, you will also prompt yourself to think more about the way you present the scenery in front of you, and even about the kind of narrative you want to tell with your photographs – something that even landscape photographers do have to think about!

You want to be your own. You want to do things your way. You want to live the life that truly makes you happy.
Then you come out of school and get an education because that's the way to get a job to make money to be able to buy a house, support a family and go on holiday. Before you know it, BAM, you're trapped. You cannot do things your way anymore, because the boss is there, the bills have to be paid and the dishwasher emptied. That's reality. That's where reality comes in the way of the dreams we have, of the life that would truly make us happy.
This is not being your own. Having the freedom to decide wheter you do your taxes early or late, what car you drive or if you'll have a hamburger or smoothie for lunch is not being your own. It is getting on the train of society and admitting to the rules until the train safely reaches its destination.
Since I was very young I have never understood this. Why would you get on the train? To be safe? The be the good girl. To not take responsibility for your own life? To be able to say 'it was not my fault' when things go wrong? Because everyone's life will go wrong at some point. One day your soul start to scream this is not it! and the perfect wife and the perfect house and the perfect job and all the money in your saving account won't mean anything. And you'll hit yourself in the head with all the excuses you've made for yourself why you could not do what you really wanted to do.
I must say: I tried to get on the train when I started to study Journalism. I literally thought: 'let's try the good life. If it's working for everybody else, why would it not work for me?' Before the year was over I hitchhiked to the French Alps to do a season of skying with 200,- euros in my bank account.
In my heart I do not believe in the train, in a safe route, in money, in status, so there is no way for me to be on it. But everybody wants to feel safe, or feels the obligation to keep other people safe.
Between my 16th and my 36th I've had the continuous feeling I was not safe. I was anxious. It took me twenty years to find out I was not really scared to go crazy, to be left alone, to make a bad life for myself, to become ill. None of that. I was afraid I could not trust myself to be my own. To rely on myself and nothing else to live my life. To not protect anything, to not hold on to anything, to not be afraid to lose and have nobody to blame for it. I was afraid to live an open and honest life where I rule over bad and good. Because I had learned it was scary to not have money, to not be married, to not be accepted, to not have success. "That's what you should be afraid", of so I was.
I am done with being afraid. Twenty years in any kind of fear is a lot. Useless fear. Because after all I'm still here. No money, no success, no restrictions, no fear. There's no train ride that can make you feel more free than this. I am my own and fully responsible for myself and my life. Nobody to blame for anything. I am free.


Actually I prepared two different types of teambuilding activities. Everybody had an assignment to prepare before comming. The subject was "How to be an artist of your own life?" People were divided into groups to get to know each other. The challenge was to make people stop talking and come back to the common activities. The result was presented and put on to a painting that was to be the point of the discussion for the rest of the evening.
If you are interested in the painting you must see my blog tomorrow as I will display it tomorrow.
All the arrangements – the food, the company was absolutely fantastic.

Craven County vet wins $100,000 prize in Christmas Day Powerball drawing
RALEIGH – The Christmas Day Powerball drawing delivered the best present ever to Floyd Cox of Dover, a Vietnam War veteran, when he won a $100,000 prize.
Cox, a retired painter, said his Powerball present took the No. 1 ranking because it was a "once in a lifetime present." He became the top prize winner in North Carolina in the drawing while two others won a $50,000 prize. In all, 19,667 North Carolina lottery players received a Powerball present, ranging in value from $4 to Cox's $100,000.
His good luck started Christmas Day when he stopped at the Vanceboro Food Mart on N.C. 43 in Vanceboro and bought a Quick Pick ticket. He said he discovered his present the next morning when he checked his Powerball numbers on the lottery's smartphone app.
"Like the birth of a new day," said Cox of his win.
Cox claimed the prize Friday at lottery headquarters. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $70,751. He said he planned to use the money to help his four children and may take a trip to Times Square for the New Year's Eve celebration.
Cox's $3 Power Play ticket matched numbers on four of the white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000. The prize doubled when the 2X multiplier was drawn. The ticket beat odds of one in 913,129. Since no one won the Christmas Day jackpot, it now stands at $200 million, or $134.3 million as cash, in Saturday's jackpot.
Two other players had the same luck as Cox and their $2 tickets won a $50,000 prize. One ticket was sold at the Gas & Go on Carowinds Boulevard in Charlotte and the other at Speedway on N.C. 24 in Newport in Carteret County.
Ticket sales from draw games like Powerball make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $700 million a year for education. For details on how lottery funds made a difference in all of North Carolina's 100 counties last year, click on the "Impact" section of the lottery's website.

This paper examines the attitudes of the top managers within one large financial services organization in the UK to fixed and variable components of their compensation package. The rationale for performance-related pay for senior managers is to align their interests with those of the shareholders, but little is known about the views of top managers on the effectiveness of such incentives. The results suggest that the design of effective bonus systems is not just a technical issue: perceptions of market fairness with respect to the compensation package and the clear communication of goals are important in getting senior managers to focus on shareholder interests.

A New Study Shows How Mushrooms Could Save Bees. Yes, Mushrooms.
"If we could knock down viruses in honey bee colonies, it could lead to greater health in other pollinators."
Assistant EditorBio | Follow
Mint/ZUMA
Over the past decade, the honeybee story has been the stuff of science fiction. Back in 2006, beekeepers first noticed their honeybees were mysteriously dying off in huge numbers, with no clear cause. For some, a whopping 30 to 90 percent of their colonies were disappearing, especially on the East Coast. Worker bees were abandoning their queens and leaving hives full of honey. That first winter, beekeepers nationwide lost about a third of their colonies. Since then, the numbers haven't improved.
Researchers now call this ongoing phenomenon "colony collapse disorder," but scientists still haven't identified a singular cause. They say it's a combination of factors: pollution, habitat loss, herbicides, and viruses, though some experts believe viruses may be the primary driver. For instance, "deformed wing virus," which causes bees to develop disfigured, nonfunctional wings, can be nasty, and, like other viruses, is transferred to bees by parasitic mites. Until now, scientists haven't developed any antiviral treatments to protect the bees.
But in a landmark study published Thursday in Nature journal Scientific Reports, researchers revealed they've discovered the first-ever "vaccine" for bees, procured from an unexpected source: mushrooms. Specifically, it's mycelia—cobweb-like fungal membranes found in and on soil—from two species, "tinder fungus" and Red Reishi mushrooms.
Total winter colony loss rate in the United States (preliminary 2017-2018 results)
National Honey Bee Colony Loss Survey / Bee Informed
"Up until this discovery, there were no antivirals reducing viruses in bees," Paul Stamets, the lead author on the study, tells Mother Jones. "Not only is this the first discovery, but these extracts are incredibly potent." Stamets is a Washington-based mycologist and author whose work includes books Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save The World, Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, and Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World. Stamets also holds patents "pertaining to the use of fungal extracts for antiviral activity and honeybee health," according to the study.
This giant discovery actually has very humble origins. Decades before colony collapse hit the United States, Stamets says he had noticed bees in his own yard feeding off water droplets on the mushrooms that were growing on wood chips in his garden. They had pushed the wood chips aside to expose the mycelium. At the time, he thought they might be getting sugars from the fungi, and it wasn't until about five years ago—after researching the antiviral properties of fungi for humans—that he made the connection to viruses affecting bees. "I had this waking dream, 'I think I can save the bees,'" he says.
In collaboration with researchers from Washington State University, Stamets decided to conduct a two-part study to test his theory that fungi could treat the viruses in honeybees. First, in a controlled, caged experiment, he and his team added small amounts of mushroom extract, or "mycelial broth," to the bees' food (sugar water) at varying concentrations and measured how it affected their health. Then, they tested the best-performing extracts in the field.
The extracts worked better than Stamets ever imagined.
The team measured the virus levels in 50 bees from 30 different field colonies and found the bee colonies that consumed the mycelium extracts saw up to a 79-fold decrease in deformed wing virus after 12 days and up to a 45,000-fold reduction in Lake Sinai virus (another virus linked to colony collapse) compared to the bees that only ate sugar water.
"We went out of the laboratory, into the field—real-life field tests," says Stamets. "And we saw enormous benefit to the bees."
So what's going on here? Stamets says the operating hypothesis is this: "These aren't really antiviral drugs. We think they are supporting the immune system to allow natural immunity to be strong enough to reduce the viruses." More research, he says, is needed to fully understand how the fungi are working.
Diana Cox-Foster, a research leader and entomologist at the USDA's Pollinating Insects Research Unit in Utah who was not involved in the study, tells Mother Jones the research looked "promising" and adds that it could have ramifications for other pollinators, like bumblebees. "These viruses are widely shared," she says. "If we could knock down viruses in honeybee colonies, it could lead to greater health in other pollinators."
The paper provides "valuable new data," Erik Tihelka, a insect researcher Hartpury College in the UK, tells Mother Jones in an email. But it may only help solve part of the problem. "The health challenges honeybees are facing are multifactorial and interacting," he says, "ranging from loss of the flowering plots for nutrition, use of pesticides in agriculture, a complex of parasites and pathogens, and other stressors."
The results could be particularly impactful for farmers. Some crops are almost entirely dependent on honeybee pollination for survival, including blueberries, avocados, onions, broccoli, carrots, and cantaloupe. Almonds are 100 percent dependent on honeybees. California farmers currently rent bee colonies from out of state to pollinate their trees in spring.
On a planet where about one third of all our crops rely on pollinators, losing bees could be disastrous. "A loss of bees is like rivets in an airplane," says Stamets. "If we lose the bees, it is a critical rivet in an airplane that can lead to catastrophic failure."

Bario Neal teamed up again with Philadelphia ceramist Jessica Hans to create one of a kind ceramic jewelry vessels. The goal was to create an organic and sculptural home for your precious jewelry to be housed from the wear of the day.
The Space Desert Dish combines many different elements to create a multi-use environment for jewelry. The sloping earring band proudly displays earrings. A ring holder with tentacles can also be used as a small vase. This otherworldly landscaped ceramic dish is very much a conversation piece.


(Entry was posted by Jason Hyungchul Kang on this post in the Dumb SEO Questions community on Facebook, Wednesday, July 11, 2018).
Let`s say I have a website selling a product that eliminates shoe odor. I can use different terms like `shoe deodorizer`, `shoe odor eliminator`, ` smelly shoe remedy`. These are all synonymous/variant keywords that drive a respectable amount of search volume and ideally, I would want my website/pages showing up for all those keywords when searched by the user. However, let`s say, if for my home page, I optimize around the keyword "shoe deodorizer", and on my product category level page, I optimize around the keyword "shoe odor eliminator" and on the actual product page, I optimize around the keyword `smelly shoe remedy` (just as an example), would this be considered good practice or bad practice (keyword cannibalization?) for SEO?
just don`t know which keyword to target on what page because there are multiple synonymous keywords that all mean the same thing. i want visibility for all those keywords. thanks.
Michael Martinez: "keyword cannibalization" is one of those fuzzy expressions that really doesn`t mean one thing. It depends on who is discussing it. You can/should differentiate your pages (even section index pages) so that each serves a specific purpose. But each page can be relevant to 1, 000+ queries and you can have many pages relevant to the same queries. You`re not doing anything wrong. You would have to go to incredibly extreme lengths to "deoptimize" your pages for similar queries. What you do not want to do is publish 50-100 pages that are essentially about the same thing <- those would be considered "doorway" pages. Focus on creating a page or section to fulfill a specific need. Don`t worry about crossing the keyword timelines.

How to Train a Black Lab Dog
By Catherine Hiles
Catherine Hiles
Writing since 2009, Catherine Hiles is a British writer currently living Stateside. Her articles appear on websites covering topics in animal health and training, lifestyle and more. She has a Bachelor of Arts in communications from the University of Chester in the United Kingdom.
Do not yell or punish the dog if it does not obey your commands. This will only create fear.
Remain calm and positive while training your black Lab. Dogs can sense negative emotions and training at these times is counter-productive.
Black Labrador retrievers are trainable and eager to please.
According to the American Kennel Club, the Labrador retriever is an intelligent, versatile breed of dog that excels at obedience training and is used for search and rescue, drug detection and service. The Labrador comes in three colors: yellow, chocolate and black, which is the most common color.
Begin training as early as possible while the puppy is still small. Start with an easy command such as "sit." Hold a treat above the Lab's nose and move it back toward its tail slowly. The dog's rear end should sink to the ground to enable its nose to follow the treat. Give the treat to the dog as soon as its buttocks touch the floor and say, "Good sit!" Repeat this process until the dog is sitting on command and the lure is no longer necessary.
Use the black Lab's natural retrieving instinct to teach it to fetch. Wave a ball in front of the dog's face to get it interested. Toss the ball about two feet away from you. If the dog is interested, it will go and pick up the ball. Clap your hands and run in the opposite direction, encouraging the dog to follow you. Do not run after the dog if it tries running away from you; keep clapping and running in the opposite direction to lure the dog. Throw the ball as soon as the dog drops it at your feet to continue the game.
Build on basic commands such as "sit," "down," "stay" and "come" by teaching tricks such as "shake" and "spin." While the dog is sitting, hold some treats in your left hand and use your right hand to tickle behind the dog's paw. Say "shake" as the dog lifts its paw and touch its paw with your hand. Give the dog a treat as a reward. Repeat until the dog offers a paw on command. For "spin," stand in front of the dog with a treat in your hand. Lure the dog in a circle with the treat and say "spin" as the dog moves around. Treat the dog after it has completed a full circle and repeat until the lure is no longer necessary.

US shatters its daily record with more than 77,000 new coronavirus cases bringing total to 3.5million as deaths surge by 943 and cases spiral in Florida, Texas and California
July 17, 2020 by www.dailymail.co.uk
The United States has shattered its daily record for coronavirus cases after more than 77,000 new infections were reported on Thursday.
America's total infection count has now surged past 3.5million after the massive new spike of 77,255 cases, surpassing the previous high of 67,417 patients registered on Tuesday.
It takes the US another step closer to the alarming benchmark of 100,000 cases per day, which Dr Anthony Fauci has warned the country could reach if it fails to bring the crisis under control.
Another 943 deaths reported on Thursday brought the death toll to 138,358.
Experts are predicting a further surge after a spike in hospitalizations in many states.
Florida and Texas both suffered record death tolls yesterday with 156 and 129 respectively. Both posted more than 10,000 new infections each.
US CASES: America shattered its daily record for coronavirus cases after an alarming 77,255 new infections were reported on Thursday
US DEATHS: The death toll rose by 943 on Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins University figures, taking the country's tally from 137,415 to 138,358
The US totals of 3,576,157 cases and 138,358 deaths are both by far the highest in the world, with Brazil second in both tables. India today became the third country to reach a million confirmed infections.
Florida is becoming the new epicenter of the US outbreak, with a record 156 deaths announced yesterday alongside 13,965 new positive test results.
The state's health department said 315,775 people had tested positive in Florida since the pandemic began with a death toll of 4,677.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis moved quickly to re-open the state and has not followed the lead of California and Texas by making masks mandatory in indoor spaces.
In late June, in a partial reversal, DeSantis ordered bars to again be closed in an effort to curb the spread of the disease, but the numbers have continued to rise.
No US cruises until October: CDC extends the no-sail ban due… Mark Zuckerberg tells Dr. Fauci it's Trump fault the U.S. is…
In an unusually direct piece of criticism, Fauci said last week that Florida had moved out of its lockdown before public health indicators justified such a move.
Texas saw 10,291 new cases on Thursday, a slight drop from Wednesday's record of 10,791 but the third consecutive day that the figure has been above 10,000.
The state also saw a new high of 129 deaths in a day, breaking the record for the second day running after Wednesday's previous peak of 110.
It brings the total in the state to 292,656 cases and 3,561 deaths, with more than 130,000 of those cases estimated to be currently 'active'.
The hardest-hit areas in Texas and Arizona are running out of places to store bodies as their morgues fill up and are bringing in coolers and refrigerated trailers.
TEXAS CASES: Texas saw 10,291 new cases on Thursday, a slight drop from Wednesday's record of 10,791 but the third consecutive day that the figure has been above 10,000
TEXAS DEATHS: The state also saw a new high of 129 deaths in a day, breaking the record for the second day running after Wednesday's previous peak of 110
FLORIDA CASES: Florida announced 13,965 new coronavirus cases in its latest update yesterday, with the outbreak growing faster there than in any other state
CALIFORNIA CASES: California saw 8,544 new cases yesterday to bring the total to 356,178, while another 118 fatalities took the death toll in America's most populous state to 7,345
California saw 8,544 new cases on Thursday to bring the total to 356,178, while another 118 fatalities took the death toll in America's most populous state to 7,345.
Los Angeles County accounts for more than 140,000 of California's cases, with 2,711 recorded there yesterday, while LA has also seen 3,932 deaths.
The state saw its deadliest day on July 8, when 149 new fatalities were recorded, while the infection record was set the previous day with 11,694.
In New York, which suffered the brunt of the first wave of cases in the spring, experts warn that a second spike is likely because of the rampant infections elsewhere.
New York City reported only 82 new cases and four deaths on Tuesday, with fewer than 50 people being admitted to hospital every day.
However, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city would build its own reserve of ventilators, protective equipment and coronavirus test kits to prepare for a second wave.
'We've learned a tough lesson that we have to create, and we have to protect ourselves,' de Blasio, who is a Democrat, said.
New York state's Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo has urged New Yorkers not to let up on wearing masks and social distancing.
Cuomo has offered advice, ventilators, masks, gowns and medicine to the states dealing with spikes in cases and hospitalizations.
Some healthcare workers are heading to other states to help fight the virus, reciprocating the influx that gave New York hospitals some much-needed relief just months ago.
CDC figures show that more than 100,000 healthcare personnel have been infected with the virus and at least 538 have died.
The death toll in the healthcare profession could be higher because figures are only available for 67,000 of those infected.
The latest modeling projects the number of COVID-19 deaths should hit 151,000 by August 1 and 157,000 by August 8, according to an average of models of 23 US and international research groups
A newly revised model from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projects the death toll will climb to just above 224,000 by November 1 – up 16,000 from a prior forecast. The model predicts the death toll could be reduced by 40,000 if nearly all Americans wore masks in public
America's total death toll could hit 151,000 by August 1 and 157,000 by August 8, according to an average of models of 23 research groups in the United States and elsewhere.
The figures were published by the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Reich lab on Tuesday on behalf of the CDC.
A week ago, this average predicted 147,000 deaths on August 1, suggesting that the picture is worsening.
California, Florida and Texas are expected to see a thousand more deaths over the next four weeks compared to the previous four, said Professor Nicholas Reich.
The latest spike takes the US another step closer to the alarming benchmark of 100,000 cases per day which Dr Anthony Fauci (pictured) has warned that the US could reach if it fails to bring the crisis under control
The University of Washington's IHME model goes further and predicted a staggering total of 224,000 deaths by November 1.
Another, by independent modeler Youyang Gu in New York, predicts 227,000 deaths by November 1, days before the presidential election.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that the infection tally is only so high because of widespread testing, but Fauci has said that 'I don't think you can say we're doing great'.
The CDC says more than 46.5million tests have been carried out in total, including people who were tested more than once.
The agency this week urged people to continue wearing masks to stop the spread of the disease, citing studies which showed they are a 'critical tool' in the pandemic.
'We are not defenseless against Covid -19,' said CDC director Robert Redfield in an announcement on Tuesday.
'Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus – particularly when used universally within a community setting.
'All Americans have a responsibility to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.'
According to the IHME group, more Americans are wearing masks, and fewer are leaving their homes.
The model has access to GPS data through commercial partners.
'If 95 percent of Americans wore masks when leaving their homes, that number (of deaths) would drop by more than 40,000,' the research center said.
Forty six states reported more new cases of COVID-19 last week compared to the previous week, according to a Reuters analysis of data from The COVID Tracking Project

If you really want to pamper your cat and show how much you love the furry feline, consider making it a gourmet dinner.
Unsure what entree would please your finicky pet? Patti Delmonte has plenty of suggestions on what constitutes high cat cuisine that she shares in "Real Food For Cats" (Storey Publishing, $12.95).
The 50 vet-approved recipes created to please the feline gastronome who shares your home will not only satisfy the animal's dietary needs, but hopefully will have him meowing for seconds.
Running the gamut from fish to fowl to eggs and even a few meatless meals, the recipes are divided into groups that include such tasty dishes as Gizzard Goulash, Sardines and Rice (Kitty Heaven), Kitty Pizza and Western Scramble for Kitty Roundups.
In the special-treat category are Cat Chow Cookies, Tabby Tuna Popsicles and Meow-Va-Louis Mackerel Munchies.
An unusual feature of this kitty cookbook is the "Tandem Cooking Recipes" section. Here you will discover ideas that work for both cats and their "people." Prepare the main part of the recipe to make a mouthwatering people meal and then, with a few adjustments, you can turn a portion of the feast into well-balanced feline fare.
This means everyone in the household at and under the table can enjoy Shish Kebab, Chicken Paprika, Salmon Loaf, Rabbit Stew and Chicken Cordon Bleu!
For cats with special health problems, the author also offers some special meals that address allergies, a delicate intestine, obesity, urinary problems, and impaired liver and kidney function. You'll also want to check the information on how to give the brush-off to hairballs by adding vegetable matter to kitty's diet.
Start browning the ground beef over a medium heat in a skillet.
When the meat is half cooked, add the bell pepper and garlic. Cook the mixture until the meat is golden brown.
Turn the heat to low. Stir in the tomato paste, corn oil, chopped tortilla, bonemeal, brewer's yeast, and salt. Stir until heated through.
Cool and serve topped with grated cheese.

Review: Kekexili: Mountain Patrol
Kekexili: Mountain Patrol works out its idea of man's moral struggle by reflecting it in the very fabric of world.
Ed Gonzalez
Photo: Samuel Goldwyn Films
"Tibetans always point knives toward themselves," says Ritai (Duobuji), the head of a volunteer organization that hunts poachers in the Kekexili region of China, to a young reporter, Gayu (Leigh Zhang), who's come to the area to investigate the disappearance of mountain patrolmen. This summation, which Ritai says over dinner as Gayu cuts into a piece of meat, encapsulates the film's stunning moral ambiguity—with it, director Lu Chuan makes known that he recognizes a people's struggle to maintain their sense of goodness. This conflict, as Kekexili: Mountain Patrol will reveal, is one that is fraught with hypocrisy and compromise, meaning the story understands how people truthfully negotiate life. Without exaggeration, the film's visual beauty ranks alongside Werner Herzog's Lessons of Darkness as one of the most succinct and distressing expressions of landscape in crisis. It is across the Kekexili region's terrain that Ritai and his patrolmen chase after the seemingly phantom-like poachers that hunt the Himalayan antelope; that we see so little of these creatures not only suggests their decimation but something more deeply profound: the landscape's own spiritual weakening. Lu is a stunning visual storyteller—so good, in fact, that we could probably do without the attention paid to repetitious plot and dialogue, which offsets the mysticism of the images. Compromised, yes, but still strong, Kekexili: Mountain Patrol works out its idea of man's moral struggle by reflecting it in the very fabric of world. In the film's single most shocking moment, Mother Nature protects herself by killing a man—a stunning vision of transcendental harmonizing.

I was designing a form view. After having some input fields, i want to have a "Horizontal line" in that form. or can i have a horizontal bar in the form. (coloring that bar).
1. Is there any option for drawing lines in visual composer?
But i dont know how to bring it to the "Layout board" and use it.
The Drawing Options in the Tools menu, I think its not for drawing lines in forms, it decides the nature of the lines(links) we connect between various components on the VC design board.
I suggest one alternative, I dont know whether its OK for your problem, save the line as an image & use it in your VC form.
After adding the input fields, add another field of type HTML Text and in its properties, go to html tab, simply select "U" i.e. underline option and in the text area, give blank spaces. You will be able to see horizontal line on your form view.
Thanx. i am able to draw lines but i would like to have thick lines or horizontal bars where i can fill with colour in a form view.
Then i can suggest you second work around i.e. insert data field of type "Expression Box" in the iView. Go to the properties of expression box, select" no label" and in the style tab, add new style and in the condition, enter "true", select the background color as required eg. Red .
In the layout tab , you can increase the length of expression box to look it like horizontal bar.
I was able to get a horizontal Bar. But again the color which i gave was not appearing in the Layout board. I choose the colour and set the condition as "true".
and too i was not able to increase the height of the bar?
In the layout board, you are not able to see color but when you will deploy and run the model, you will be able to see fill in color.
Height can't be changed as it is actually expression box.
Moreover VC does not allow so much designing.

Neo-Nazi Property Sold
Tuesday, February 13th 2001, 12:00 am
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A mother and son whose lawsuit bankrupted the Aryan Nations bought the neo-Nazi group's compound Tuesday and said they plan to sell it, perhaps to a human rights organization.
``We hope to get the evilness out of there and turn it around to something positive,'' Jason Keenan said.
Keenan and his mother, Victoria, were the only bidders in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court sale of the 20-acre property that served as the clubhouse for some of the nation's most violent neo-Nazis. The Keenans bought it for $250,000.
Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler, who watched the transfer of the property he had owned for some 30 years, blamed a Jewish conspiracy.
``You take from those who work and have, and give to those who have never worked and did not have,'' he said. ``I haven't lost my honor.''
There had been speculation that supporters might try to buy Butler's property and return it to him for his 83rd birthday. He has vowed to keep preaching his white supremacist, anti-Semitic philosophy, and is living in a house in nearby Hayden that was bought for him by a wealthy supporter.
Butler filed for bankruptcy protection in October, a month after the Keenans were awarded $6.3 million. They sued the group for negligence after being shot at and assaulted by Aryan Nations security guards near the compound in 1998.
Potential bidders were required to put down a $15,000 deposit and have a credit line of at least $300,000. The Keenans were the only ones to make a deposit. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a Montgomery, Ala., civil rights group that represented the Keenans in their lawsuit, lent them $95,000, the required cash portion of the $250,00 sale price.
The compound is a wooded site north of Hayden Lake that contains numerous buildings, including Butler's home, a bunkhouse, a guard tower and the chapel of Butler's church. The Keenans will get the contents of the compound and intellectual property such as the names ``Aryan Nations'' and ``Church of Jesus Christ Christian.''
``The Buford Furrows of this world, of which there are many, will not have a place to come and learn the craft of hatred,'' said the Keenans' lawyer, Norman Gissel.
Furrow is a former Aryan Nations security guard who pleaded guilty last month to killing a Filipino-American mailman and wounding five people at a Jewish community center in Los Angeles.
The Keenans were driving past the compound in 1998 when their car apparently backfired. Three Aryan Nations security guards, thinking someone had fired a shot, jumped into a pickup and chased them.
They shot out a tire, forcing the Keenans' car into a ditch. The guards held the pair at gunpoint and threatened to kill them before backing off.
News On 6 COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A mother and son whose lawsuit bankrupted the Aryan Nations bought the neo-Nazi group's compound Tuesday and said they plan to sell it, perhaps to a human rights organization.

A record high temperature was set in Albany, NY on Wednesday as the mercury reached 56 degrees, this eclipsed the old record of 54 degrees, set in 1974. The record high temperature for today at Albany, NY is 56 degrees, and as of 5AM EST Thursday morning, the temperature was 53 degrees. The record does appear to be safe for today, though it will be a close call.
A potent cold front will cross the region during the morning hours today, bringing with it rainfall, and a marked increase in the winds. Winds had been pretty gusty during the overnight period last night, though not dangerously gusty. A look at observation across New York state this morning shows that gusty winds are accompanying, and behind, the cold front. Fulton, NY was reporting wind gusts to 43 MPH at 5AM EST this morning, while as Rochester, NY reported 41 MPH gusts, and Buffalo, NY reported 47 MPH gusts. These gusty winds are expected to overspread the Capital Region and vicinity by this afternoon. A high wind warning is in effect for the Capital Region and vicinity through 6PM EST Thursday evening, as winds may gust to near or over 55 MPH this afternoon.
As the low pressure area moves into the Canadian Maritime provinces tonight and Friday, winds should begin to decrease in magnitude, however, it is still forecast to remain quite brisk and blustery straight through the end of the work week. In addition, several weak disturbances look to ride across the region straight through the coming weekend. Each will bring with it a chance for some snow showers and squalls, thus keeping temperatures in the near to slightly below normal category through the into the new work week.
Today: Periods of rain likely this morning, diminishing to rain and/or snow showers this afternoon. Becoming very windy, with damaging wind gusts possible. Early high near 50, with temperatures falling into and through the 30's by late in the day. Southwest winds 5-15 MPH early, shifting west and northwest and increasing to 20-40 MPH this morning through the afternoon. Some wind gusts to near or over 55 MPH are possible at times. Chance of precipitation this morning is 100 percent, and this afternoon is 40 percent. A dusting of snow accumulation is possible this afternoon.
Tonight: Variably cloudy and continued blustery. Low near 20. West winds 15-30 MPH with some higher gusts to near 35 MPH possible.
Friday: Intervals of clouds and sunshine. Breezy and chilly with a slight chance of a snow shower. High in the upper 20's. Northwest winds 15-30 MPH with some higher gusts possible at times. Chance of snow is 20 percent.

Q: Posting a concatenated formula in VBA based on a newly created worksheet labeled as a date I have a script which creates a copy of a worksheet with data on it, queries new data, and then uses a lookup (SUMIFS in this case) to pull any manual entries from the old sheet onto the new.  I am getting an application-defined/object-defined error message on the line that drops the formula onto the page (the last line below).  I attempted adding the formula directly instead, using .Cells, etc., but it must be in the language of the formula itself because I can drop a direct formula in this way (e.g. .Range("N2:N" & LastRow) = "=M2*H2")
Dim CopySheet As String
Dim QSheet As String
Dim FormulaS As String
Dim LastRow As Integer
Dim CoreWB As Workbook
Set CoreWB = ActiveWorkbook
QSheet = "QData"
CopySheet = Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy")
With CoreWB
    .Sheets.Add(After:=.Sheets("HistSum")).Name = CopySheet
    .Sheets(QSheet).Cells.Copy _
    Destination:=Sheets(CopySheet).Cells
End With
FormulaS = "=SUMIFS(" + CopySheet + "!M:M," + CopySheet + "!A:A, A:A," + CopySheet + "!C:C, C:C," + CopySheet + "!J:J, J:J," + CopySheet + ",!E:E, E:E)"
With Sheets(QSheet)
     LastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
     .Range("M2:M" & LastRow).Formula = FormulaS

A: Try

*

*LastRow should be > 1

*Use Long rather than Integer

*There was a typo "," at the end

*Add ' before and after sheet name

*Concatenate with & (as per comments)

*Use Worksheets collection

*I think you can just post to destination Worksheets(CopySheet).Range("A1") - but I could be wrong.

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub TEST()

    Dim CopySheet As String
    Dim QSheet As String
    Dim FormulaS As String
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim CoreWB As Workbook
    Set CoreWB = ActiveWorkbook
    QSheet = "QData"
    CopySheet = Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yy")

    With CoreWB
        .Sheets.Add(After:=.Worksheets("HistSum")).Name = CopySheet
        .Sheets(QSheet).Cells.Copy _
        Destination:=Worksheets(CopySheet).Cells
    End With

    FormulaS = "=SUMIFS(" & "'" & CopySheet & "'!M:M,'" & CopySheet & "'!A:A, A:A,'" & CopySheet & "'!C:C, C:C,'" & CopySheet & "'!J:J, J:J,'" & CopySheet & "'!E:E, E:E)"
    With Worksheets(QSheet)
        LastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        ' LastRow > 1
        .Range("M2:M" & LastRow).Formula = FormulaS
    End With

Valentín Carderera y Solano (14 February 1796, Huesca - 25 March 1880, Madrid) was a Spanish painter, erudite scholar and collector. He was named honorary court painter during the reign of Isabel II.

Biography
He attended the , where he studied philosophy then, thanks to the patronage of José de Palafox, studied drawing in Zaragoza with Buenaventura Salesa and painting in Madrid in the Royal Academy of Arts, where his teachers were Mariano Salvador Maella and José de Madrazo. In 1822, he won a grant to study in Rome, awarded by José António, Duke of Villahermosa. He remained in Italy until 1831, travelling widely and creating sketches and watercolours.

Back to Spain, in 1836, he received a commission to make an inventory of the nationalised works of art from suppressed monasteries in Castile. From 1838, he was a governing member of the board at the Museo Real de Pintura y Escultura. He was also a member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, where he taught art history and, from 1843, he held a chair at the Real Academia de la Historia. In 1873, he helped establish the  by donating paintings from his own collection.

His most familiar works are portraits of famous Spaniards throughout history; gathered together in a large anthology called Iconografía Española (1855, enlarged in 1864), which constitutes his magnum opus. In order to defray the costs of publication, he had to sell his collection of drawings and prints to the Biblioteca Nacional.

As a writer, he also contributed regular essays on cultural subjects to , , El Museo Universal and the French Gazette des Beaux-Arts. In 1866, he edited the first edition of the Discursos practicables del nobilísimo arte de la pintura, written in 1675 by Jusepe Martínez.

As a collector, he was particularly fond of the drawings and engravings of Francisco de Goya and owned a large collection of them. In 1835, he wrote the first substantial biography of Goya, which was published in  El Artista.

Fabrication of large-grain bulk superconductors in microgravity environment
Naomichi Sakai, Kazuo Inoue, Akira Shisa, Hiromasa Hirata, Masato Murakami
The experiment to fabricate large-grain RE-Ba-Cu-O (RE: Rare-Earth element) bulk superconductors in microgravity environment will be performed in the Unmanned Space Experiment Recovery System project. It is difficult to grow high-quality large-grain superconductors on the ground due to the chemical contamination from the substrate and the segregation of liquid phase. Such problems can be overcome by growing large RE-Ba-Cu-O bulk in microgravity environment, in which the bulk can be supported by a seed crystal alone during the crystal growth. In this paper, we describe the experiment plan, the materials composition, design of a temperature gradient furnace and the conditions for the crystal growth.

I have a V8 that has just ticked onto 22k. Has anybody had an engine carbon clean done and did it help do you think??
Where are people getting it done and roughly how much. Locality is Yorkshire area.
Or - someone to take the inlet off and manually remove the carbon buildup?
The latter works, the former doesn't.
The second one, where yes I believe the head/inlet, whichever, is removed and the ports are blasted with walnut shells I believe.
I know REperformance do it and are well thought of but they're hours away from me. Was hoping for someone closer.

Don't influence decisions or involve in specific cases: Piyush Goyal to CPSE non-official directors
Kirtika Suneja
, ET Online Last Updated: Jul 13, 2022, 09:27 PM IST
"However, he highlighted that any mis-governance should be taken to management with utmost urgency and also, he asked to them to avoid influencing CPSE decisions while not getting involved in specific cases," the ministry said in the statement.
Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal has told the Central Public Sector Undertakings that any mis-governance should be taken to management with utmost urgency.
While interacting with the Non-official Directors (NoDs) of CPSUs under his ministries, he also asked them to avoid influencing CPSE decisions while not getting involved in specific cases.
The minister said that these directors are expected to bring alternate perspective, provide impartial view of shortcomings and suggest measures for improvement, according to a release issued by the commerce and industry ministry on Wednesday.
Goyal said that the NoDs also serve as a role model for employees and also safeguard interest of all stakeholders.
India Trade Promotion, ECGC Ltd. (Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India), State Trading Corporation of India Ltd, MMTC Ltd. (Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation of India), PEC Ltd. (The Project and Equipment Corporation of India), State Trading Corporation of India Ltd Central Warehouse Corporation and Food Corporation of India. Secretary, Department of Commerce, Secretary, Food & Public Distribution and Consumer Affairs and Secretary, Department of Textile and Senior Officials of all three departments attended the meeting.
Goyal said that NoDs' expertise and experience will help the government in ensuring welfare of the citizens of India, and that they have assumed critical importance given increased sectoral complexities.

Four Gift Ideas For HER This Year
Dec 14, 2017 | Women's Health
It could be for your mom, sister, friend, aunt, girlfriend, spouse, cousin— heck it could even be you! —buying gifts is always difficult. And, of course, we're smack dab in the middle of the holiday season where everyone is exchanging gifts with their family, friends, coworkers, kids' teachers, etc.
Let's be honest, not everyone loves to buy gifts. We love giving something to someone and making them happy, but the stress and pressure of finding the "perfect" gift for someone is HARD!
Don't worry this year, we've got your back. We've put together four gift ideas for her, laced with tips and tricks for selecting a gift for the woman/women in your life this year.
Before we begin, it's important to note that the amount you spend on a gift is irrelevant. It truly is the thought that counts. The fact that you spend time thinking of her and what she wants, (not what you think she will want), will mean the world to her.
Gift #1: Gratitude
Gratitude improves our health, relationships, emotions, and personality according to HappierHuman. Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D., a leading gratitude researcher, conducted multiple studies on the link between gratitude and well-being, showing that gratitude effectively increases happiness and reduces depression.
We all love to know we are appreciated and loved. I'm sure you're grateful for the special woman(en) in your life, but have you told them exactly why you're grateful for them?
An Australian survey of university freshmen asked "who is the most important and influential person you've ever known?" 40% said their moms are the most influential person they've ever known.
This year, let the woman(en) close to you know how much you care about them! This can be difficult for some of us who are not wordsmiths, so here's a couple of questions to get you started:
What do you appreciate about her?
Tell her about a time when she did something you loved.
How would you describe her in 5 words? Now expand on those words with examples.
What specific qualities does she possess that make her unique?
What are her unique character traits that you admire?
How has she impacted you and your life? Those around her? The world?
Remember: you don't have to write her a letter! You can also sing, rap, draw, paint, dance, make a video, (like this famous one from Love Actually), etc. Get creative and find how you are most comfortable expressing yourself.
Gift #2: Free Time
While this applies to every single woman, it can be extra special for moms. Life is busy for all of us, but extra busy for women juggling parenthood. The gift of free time is priceless.
The Daily Mail wrote that the average mom has JUST 17 minutes of "me time" to themselves each day. We just don't think that is enough for any woman, especially a mom.
Already, women have 40 minutes less time off than men. This year, give her the gift of free time and self-care by intentionally setting aside time just for her.
Free time could literally be just that—unscheduled, unstructured time for her to do with whatever she pleases. You can help by offering to watch the kids (if she's a mom), do laundry, cook a meal, tidy up, etc. Or, you can give her a gift certificate to the spa, for a massage, for dinner, to her favorite clothing or book store, etc. Find out what she likes to do, and where she likes to do it, and then do everything possible to make sure she has the free time to make it happen, on her terms.
Gift #3: Confidence-Boosters
Confidence is about feeling good—mentally, physically and emotionally. Boosting your confidence can be as easy as smiling more to hitting the gym for the incredible endorphins.
"Even just one trip to the gym increases positive feelings about your body," psychiatrist Laura Berman, author of The Book of Love, told Allure magazine.
Confidence is how you feel about yourself—or in this case, how she feels about herself. It can be a sensitive and subjective topic. One important aspect is how she feels about her body.
There are many confidence boosters in the aesthetics and personal care world: from facials, massages and blowouts to CoolSculpting and Botox, to Mommy Makeovers. Some treatments involve surgery to add, subtract or adjust, others use non-surgical devices to stimulate collagen growth. People usually associate collagen renewal with the face, but collagen isn't just in your face.
There are new collagen-boosting treatments for women's intimate health. Research published in the Journal of Women's Health, shows that Cryogen Cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency (CMRF) therapy is, "associated with statistically significant and clinically important improvements in sexual function in women with vaginal laxity."
After all, it's not just about appearance but how you feel.
If you decide to gift her a confidence procedure, check out RealSelf, a worldwide review site for elective medical treatments. It includes patient and doctor reviews, and a wide range of treatments. If she is interested, this site can help her find whatever treatment she likes. This year, think procedures not pearls!
Ultimately, only she can decide what makes her feel beautiful, and feel her best. Whether it's free time to meditate or go to a workout class or go to a consultation about a medical treatment, it's all about what makes her feel confident.
As the famous Sophia Loren said, "Beauty is how you feel inside."
Gift #4: Experiences
Okay, before you start sweating and worrying that we are going to tell you to buy her a luxurious 2-week vacation in the Virgin Islands, let me assure you, we are not.
Huffington Post says that having new experiences can help us overcome fear, get to know ourselves better and stimulate creativity. You can help her have a new experience this year without breaking your piggybank. Gift her a Groupon for painting classes, Taekwondo, yoga, Spanish lessons, Skydiving, a cooking class, etc.
Anything new, challenging and exciting for her! Pick a new experience for the mind, body and soul. A workout class for her body, a language class for her mind, and a Wine and Canvas class for the soul.
Neuroscientists say that having new experiences break the pattern of monotony and help our brains absorb the experience deep down, making us feel the value of each moment.
(Like that gift pun? We do.) Google "Gift Ideas For Her" and you'll get 3.7 million ideas. We've given you the short, sweet and condensed version. But whatever gift you give her this season, make it thoughtful and unique. Spend time thinking about her and what she wants.
Or, when in doubt, ask her straight up what she wants for Christmas—you can't go wrong with that.

The most popular women's mistakes in sex
For centuries there was a stereotype in the minds of women that men are lustful animals who do not care with whom to sleep, the main thing is to sleep as often as possible.
But, believe me; men also need affection, warmth and love. 'Peopletalk' presents a ranking of the most common female errors in sex.
Of course, women love the attention of men and terribly jealous when it is aimed in the other direction: work, computer, football, and friends. Some women immediately try to regain positions through sex. But when sex becomes an instrument of manipulation, love is out of the question. Sooner or later, a man is bound to feel it.
Ladies – go!
Some princesses believe that asking a man about sex is absolutely not a Royal. They believe that the guy should always seek them himself. But many men admit that sometimes they still would like to see the initiator of sex is a woman.
Excessive modesty
If you are ashamed of yourself, your body and do not accept compliments, a man will one day believe that you are not so good.
Untimely conversations
Talkativeness in bed is an indicator that a person is worried and can not hide it. But it happens that at the most crucial moment you suddenly feel a wave of panic and you ask your partner the question: "Do you love me?" well, or something like that. Remember, at a time like this, a man can't answer any questions.
If you don't like something in bed, why don't you tell about it to your affiliate? Men admit that they would be glad to hear from the woman the truth to understand how it is necessary to act. After all, any normal man wants not just to have fun yourself, but also to deliver pleasure to his sex partner.
Repeat it, please
After successful sex of the girl often demand from the partner of immediate continuation of «Banquet». But a man is usually so exhausted that he needs to rest. Try for a change to take the initiative in your hands and to play the role of a horsewoman.
Shyness in bed
Many girls have a variety of taboos in the intimate sphere. Most of them are constrained by their own complexes. Do not afraid to seem in bed funny or non-sexual. If you fail the first time, try again. Trust me; it will only add excitement to a man.
