Communication Tools in Healthcare: Easing Stress for Physical Therapists
Easing Stress for Physical Therapists With Remote Tools
Evan Wade
Stress is a pervasive feeling in healthcare, and not just for patients. For physical therapists and other specialties within the healthcare spectrum, worry and uncertainty are an inextricable — and constant — part of the job, especially in these challenging times. From the emotional exhaustion of helping patients amid the backdrop of a global pandemic to the constant finagling with insurers, there's no end to the ways in which tension can make a difficult job even harder.
The good news is that, although certain stressful aspects of a health career track may be unavoidable, others are easy enough to curb. The right communication tools in healthcare can ease workloads, automate capabilities, and bridge distances, creating a better experience for patients and less unease for physical therapists and other healthcare professionals.
The Ease of Implementing Telemedicine Technology
By now, you've undoubtedly heard of telemedicine's immense potential in various healthcare settings. It's proven to be critical in the management and assessment of COVID-19 cases. What you may not have heard about, however, is the ease with which this technology can be deployed. If you're like most overtaxed providers, this is good news. If a system doesn't work, it probably isn't going to be a very popular addition.
While telemedicine tools themselves are bound by HIPAA cloud compliance regulations — meaning providers should only use purpose-built communication tools in healthcare — the technical requirements are quite basic. If providers have a spare room and a computer with a quality microphone and webcam, they're all set to offer a telehealth service. Likewise, they can provide care to remote patients if they know how to place a video call.
Obviously, certain facets of physical therapy don't lend themselves to this type of medical attention. For example, anything requiring manual intervention is better suited to an in-person visit. Even then, there are unlimited benefits to a proper telemedicine setup, such as:
Remote follow-ups. Instead of scheduling in-person visits for progress checks and simple questions, a therapist can engage with patients over a video call.
Reduced workloads. Fewer patients in-house means a lighter patient load, all without impacting revenues.
Shorter waits. For offices with long waitlists, a logical separation of services could reduce the time both in-person and call-in visitors must wait to receive care.
A brighter future: Physical therapists and other rehab therapists currently excluded from Medicare telehealth billing may soon be able to do just that. This is especially intriguing with recent rule changes regarding telehealth and hip/joint replacement, two surgeries that generally require physical therapy afterwards.
Managing Administrative Functions With Communication Tools in Healthcare
Other common stressors in physical therapy come not from workloads or patients, but the tools that help administrate their visits. While there will always be a space for receptionists and schedulers, communication tools that automate certain tasks are a huge help — and a huge source of stress relief for the medical professionals running the show.
You don't need to be a computer expert to use the powerful features these solutions offer. A virtual receptionist, for example, offers a smart, effective way to reroute calls to the correct line or department, reducing the amount of busywork front-end staff must manage. Instead of placing —and paying — a human to ward off all the calls, a digital system takes button presses or spoken-word commands. Besides reducing workloads and automating critical previsit functions, this provides a better experience for callers themselves, many of whom would prefer self-service to waiting for a human to help them.
These systems are powerful, but they don't require much technical knowledge to set up. In most cases, you can build your receptionist's layout from a cloud-based portal, accessible anywhere you have a computer and an internet connection. This makes on-the-fly changes far faster than the old days, when redoing an interactive voice response system might have required significant contact with third-party vendors.
For larger offices with more complex personnel structures, tools can facilitate faster call routing and thus create a less stressful environment. Some systems enable professionals to call anyone within the organization without fumbling through their contact list or remembering individual extension numbers — a huge benefit in practice, considering the complexity even midsized organizations must deal with.
Stopping No-Shows and Latecomers
No-shows and latecomers may be the single biggest source of administrative stress in physical therapy, especially as weary patients opt to stay at home and isolate during the global pandemic. A missed visit means lost revenue and a lost chance to help another patient in need of physical therapy care. Here, customer notification tools can mean the difference between a fruitful visit and a wasted hour. Once built into your scheduling system, a communications application programming interface can automatically text an appointment reminder to the can-be-reached number on file, ensuring that patients always have a quick way to remind themselves of their appointment time.
Patients can use the same tools to confirm and even reschedule the appointments via text, further cutting back on missed appointments and late arrivals. In busy offices, a relatively simple change like this can significantly improve response, reduce manual error, and lessen workload for human assets, who can then be assigned to more appropriate tasks. Since appointment times and visit purposes can be considered electronic protected health information, the tools can also be configured in a manner that is HIPAA compliant, with sensitive data only moving across approved channels.
In all these instances, high-tech communication tools offer roughly the same high-level benefit: Combining advanced functionality and convenience with an easy-to-use interface. With the unique stresses placed upon physical therapists and other healthcare professionals, many of whom don't have an extra minute to learn new systems, these tools represent an irresistible mix. Throw in the additional benefits for patients — consumer satisfaction itself being a considerable source of stress for providers — and you have a set of healthcare solutions that work for everyone.

Graeme Stinson has thrown 12 shutout innings this season.
Duke baseball aims to bounce back in ACC-opening series at Virginia
By Derek Saul | 03/07/2019
In 2018, the Blue Devils opened ACC play against Virginia with something to prove—Duke had not secured a series win against the Cavaliers in a decade, and sought to assert itself as a legitimate threat in the conference.
In the bottom of the 11th inning of the series-deciding game, Steve Mann hit a single through the left side, driving in Michael Rothenberg for the game-winning run.
From there, the Blue Devils established themselves as a powerhouse and made their deepest run in the NCAA tournament in more than a half-century, coming just one game short of the College World Series.
Duke and Virginia occupy much different positions in this year's series to open conference play—the Cavaliers hope to return to relevancy after a disappointing 29-25 campaign in 2018, and the 22nd-ranked Blue Devils are now the favored squad. Especially after dropping both games to Penn on Tuesday and Wednesday in shocking fashion, Duke needs to re-establish itself as an ACC frontrunner as it travels to Charlottesville, Va., this weekend.
"We talked a little bit before the game started about when things happen, you have to learn from it, see what you can learn from it, build off of it and then become better because of it," Blue Devil head coach Chris Pollard said Wednesday. "That's going to be our challenge these last two days [before conference play], and that's what we'll focus on doing."
Duke (9-4) will be in prime position to bounce back in the series-opening contest Friday night with Graeme Stinson set to take the hill. The 6-foot-5 southpaw has consistently mowed down opponents so far this season, and has yielded no runs and just two hits in his 12 innings of work.
With Stinson on the hill, the Blue Devils are nearly unbeatable, and they have outscored opponents 26-4 in his three starts, including a 14-0 win against Penn State last Friday, in which the Duke staff combined for a no-hitter.
"We go into every ACC series with one goal in mind, and that's to win Friday night," Pollard said. "So we'll be singularly focused on getting ourselves prepared to go win Friday night."
After the midweek series sweep at the hands of the Quakers, Duke enters the series against Virginia (7-5) with a sour taste in its mouth. Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Penn was riddled with miscues. The winning run crossed the plate due to Blue Devil catcher Rudy Maxwell simply dropping the throw from left fielder Kyle Gallagher.
Sophomore hurler Matt Dockman was tagged for the loss, allowing four Quakers to reach base in the ninth inning.
"I thought Matt Dockman had some bad luck there," Pollard said. "He didn't give up a well-hit ball in the inning. It was just one of those quirky baseball things."
Although the Cavaliers currently hover just above .500, a majority of their losses come from the season-opening MLB4 Collegiate Baseball Tournament, in which Virginia fell to No. 1 Vanderbilt, then-No. 17 TCU and then-No. 24 Cal State-Fullerton.
Loud bats have paced the Cavaliers and a pair of sophomores—Tanner Morris and Brendan Rivoli—lead the way offensively. Morris sports a gaudy .409 batting average and a 1.214 OPS, and the 6-foot-2 shortstop checks in at No. 49 on Baseball America's prospect list for the 2019 MLB Draft.
This weekend's action could serve as a turning point for both programs. Should Virginia prevail, it could be an indication of a return to national dominance. But if Duke can escape Charlottesville with a series win, all fears stemming from its disastrous performance against Penn will be erased.
"It's a challenge, but that's all part of it," Pollard said. "You have to be good not only at learning what you can from your mistakes, but putting it behind you quickly, focusing on the things that you need to clean up."
After returning from Virginia, the Blue Devils will host East Carolina on Tuesday at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park as part of a long home stretch, and they will not leave North Carolina again until April 19.

CORONAVIRUS: Total shutdown in Los Cabos to be evaluated!
Larry Thompson Monday, July 20, 2020
In order to comply with the provisions issued by the State Committee for Health Safety, in addition to ensuring the safety of the population, the mayor of Los Cabos, Armida Castro Guzman, said that the municipal government, in collaboration with the Security Bureau, maintain the jurisdictional work that as authorities they are responsible to perform.
In this context, the mayor informed that it is not only a matter of verifying that the 30% influx of people on the beaches is respected and that the healthy distance between the population prevails, but also that the work carried out by the Municipal Security Board should continue in a cooperative manner to ensure that the provisions issued by the Health Secretariat are followed in Los Cabos.
"The operations that SEDENA, MARINA, National Guard, State Police, Beach Office (ZOFEMAT), Civil Protection and Public Safety are carrying out are so that this 30% of the population is safe and as far as possible healthy, however, it is very important to remind citizens that the last word and the final decision is in each of us, because taking care of ourselves is already a way of life," said the mayor.
In addition, Armida Castro stated that the population should not be trusted: "please help us to continue working, so that the municipality does not stop again; it will only stop if necessary because the most important thing for the government of Los Cabos is the health of the residents."

How to cut your restaurant's overhead costs
The hospitality industry in New Zealand is changing. All the costs involved in operating a restaurant are rising across the board. It's because of this that we're seeing more and more cheaper eateries opening. All of this is indicative of where we're seeing dining and hospitality head in the future.
There are plenty of overhead costs in a hospitality business that you're unable to change. At the end of the day, the major overhead cost for most restaurants is the lease. It's essential to negotiate a solid lease arrangement right from the beginning of your venture and to not over commit. When you sign a lease, you're stuck with that lease. That's fixed. Just because you've signed a great lease smack bang in the middle of the city doesn't mean you're going to have thousands of people walking through the door.
However, there are two big areas chefs and business owners need to be flexible and clever with: produce costs and staff wages. Thankfully, you can attack these right now.
Dealing with Growing Overhead Costs
You're not imagining the rising cost of living in New Zealand. Everything from the price of bread to the cost of a house has blown out in the past half-a-century. Since 1965, the nominal house prices in New Zealand have doubled on average every 12 years, whilst the average wage is only growing at about half the speed. Little wonder we are feeling the pinch. When you consider inflation (across everything else), the cost of dining has almost become cheaper. Why? Because the prices on the menus haven't changed that much in the last 15 years, despite everything else changing. Businesses cannot simply 'absorb' the costs of these changes, but instead must begin changing every part of their business plan to become more efficient.
1. Minimise Staff
As we all know, staff labour is one of the largest and hardest overhead cost to manage. New Zealand has one of the highest minimum wages in the world, making trying to keep your wages on an operating level a struggle, and that's a real indicator of how hard it is to run a business. Keeping the cost of wages low all comes down to the service structure: a business needs to learn operate on its bare minimum.
For example, if you need one person that makes coffee and at any given moment in your venue they're busy making coffee for at least one customer – that's your bare minimum requirement. As your revenue increases, then you will have the need for more staff. But start with the minimum.
The problem lies in that many businesses overstaff out of concern for a customer experience that isn't completely necessary. Casual eateries have now become popular enough that customers are comfortable with the level of speed and service available with small teams. This casual service style is also being reflected in casual eateries ingredients. Already we've seen the rise of cheaper eateries with simple kitchens, less staff, and price points at $10 or less.
2. Negotiate Produce
Fresh food has also ballooned, with prices swelling even just year on year - the cost of fresh fruit and vegetables increased 14% from May 2016 to May of this year. The same goes for meat. While a decade or two ago, chefs could rely on cheaper cuts, these days, there's no such thing as a cheaper cut! Cheaper cuts are 'fashionable,' so the trends have moved towards using them, and prices have gone up. And while produce costs keep increasing, it seems restaurant owners don't want to risk turning that cost onto the customer – the price of New Zealand restaurant meals only rose 0.3% from May last year!
So, in terms of your produce, shop around, and make sure you're getting the best deal. A lot of chefs get stuck on using the same suppliers, but, if you have any kind of volume, you can always negotiate the given prices. Your supplier will generally be happy to negotiate. You can also see if it's better to have multiple suppliers; for example, one supplier might have oils and flours cheaper, and other suppliers might have sugars and vinegars cheaper. It really pays to do your homework.
3. Review Your Menu
While you can try to pass some of the costs on to the customer, it doesn't always keep everyone happy. Instead, learn to make your menu work smarter, not harder. From the food side of things, we're seeing chefs utilising cheaper ingredients, especially in vegetables. They're no longer relying on the prime cuts of meat – they're slow cooking, and using pickling, which maintains lower costs.
Make sure to ensure you're using the same items or ingredients across multiple dishes to get the most out of your cheaper produce from suppliers. Customers are unlikely to even notice, and it saves you from buying unnecessary and potentially more expensive produce. It's just about being clever with how you save on the overhead costs you can control.
An important thing to remember is that there are overhead costs that are manageable, and there are costs that aren't. All your gas and electricity, they don't really change either. The only things you can really manage are your costs of goods and your wages and so these need to occupy your constant attention. Plan, save on overhead costs where you can, and you're on your way to running a successful kitchen.

The Report Movie Review: A Story That Needs to Be Told
An efficacious and heroic story of a desk-employee dealing with the stain on a country.
By Ram Venkat Srikar on December 14, 2019 1:55 AM |
When we see a film or documentary which closely observes a real person or an incident, recollecting thoughts and summoning them in words, nonchalantly turns into our personal take on the subject. I believe it's one of the attributes of a good film dealing with such subjects, and The Report is one such addition to that unseen list.
Four minutes into the film, Daniel J. Jones (Adam Driver) answers the question, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Run for office?" with "No. No politics for me. I think I'll be more effective behinds the scenes, somewhere I can really make a difference." This provides a comprehensive description of the character whom we will be following and the rest of the film only emphasizes and underlines it.
The Report is based on Katherine Eban's article, "Rorschach and Awe", published by Vanity Fair in July '07. The article talked about how scientifically unproven methods of psychology were used against suspected terrorists who were detained post 9/11. While the CIA calls them "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques", it's a polished name for inhumane torture. And the film follows Jones, who was assigned to prepare a report on these methods and their utter failure to obtain any information that could safeguard the nation, as opposed to CIA's claims of calling the project a huge success.
9/11 is one of the most sensitive topics to make a film about; such is the grittiness, emotion, and loss associated with it. But when you make a film that's against the CIA, an organization that is committed to protecting its people, the chances are high that the film will be perceived to be against the whole country. It is a courageous step writer/director Scott Z. Burns took to put an (almost) neutral outlook of the entire investigation. At least for the first half of the film, the writer gives us space to think that CIA and the psychologists who designed the torture methods might be just performing their duty, and they could be sincere government workers. But gradually, as Dan starts digging, the sincerity slowly washes away, and they are painted evil.
It is evident with the usage of flashbacks majorly in the first and second act, where every time the film cuts back to the interrogation, the colour palette is dark, tinted in yellow, creating an environment that oozes claustrophobia, mercilessness, and helplessness just like the psychologists wanted to. And when the narrative shifts to the present, the colours are bright and cold, signifying the amount of hatred that was behind these men and women having civilized conversations about barbaric activities. I'm not the one saying this, the actual report called "Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program" does.
Spanning over a decade, the screenplay chronicles what Jones had to go through to make the report public. And if you choose to view it that way, it can also be an underdog story. When Jones begins his investigation, he is allotted workspace in a basement. Most of the team is taken away, and by the end, he is the only who sticks. And we get to know very little about Jones, the person. We never see him at his house, not once. He is always working. Even when he is on a morning run, he ends up discussing work with people he runs into, literally. Is it because Jones, the human doesn't matter if this investigation isn't a part of his life? Is he just another one in the Senate staff, who never makes headlines? I guess so. Although we are never told or shown his personal life, his response to what he uncovers paints a picture of his personality. The film celebrates an ordinary worker who did remarkable work that revealed some horrendous truth that still is a stain on the history of the CIA.
Another person the film studies in-depth is Senator Dianne Feinstein (Annette Benning), under whom Jones works. Feinstein is equally concerned about her political career and the importance of this report. Thus, we know she is not a social worker but a politician, a good one. She is the only one who continues supporting Jones throughout, like a mother-figure. Backed by an incredible performance, Adam Driver perfectly brings out the non-physical angst of the person he is playing. Four-time Academy Award nominee Benning proves why she is one of the best in the business.
The Report is a heroic story where the hero is not on the battlefield shooting enemies but sits at a desk with a computer and does the same. It is a story that needs to be told and seen.

Bij het schrijven van computerprogramma's in een bepaalde computertaal heeft de programmeur of het team van programmeurs een zekere vrijheid. De invulling van deze vrijheid wordt de programmeerstijl genoemd.

Hoewel programmeertalen doorgaans een strakke en formele syntaxis hebben, bestaan er vrijheden op het punt van
 de opmaak
 de naamgeving
 de omzetting van algoritmes in een specifieke computertaal

Opmaak
De leesbaarheid van de computertaal wordt onder meer beïnvloed door het gebruik van inspringen en het al dan niet schrijven van meerdere commando's op een regel. Voor de computer zijn deze verschillen niet van belang. Voor mensen is hun invloed zodanig groot, dat het lezen en begrijpen van code in een andere opmaakstijl bemoeilijkt wordt en binnen een project met meerdere programmeurs hierover veelal afspraken gemaakt (moeten) worden.

Naamgeving
De naamgeving van variabelen en functies, het gebruik van hoofdletters, kleine letters, mengvormen en het gebruik van afkortingen of juist van betekenisloze namen volgt in verschillende computertalen andere conventies. De meeste talen laten de programmeur vrij, deze conventies te volgen dan wel de conventie van de ene taal in een andere taal te gebruiken. Enkele voorbeelden: "variabele1", "var1", "Var_1", "Variable1", "BelangrijkeFunctie", "Bel_func", etc.

Omzetting van Algoritmes
In de meeste talen kunnen algoritmes op verschillende manier geschreven worden. Met flow-control-commando's zoals "while...do func()", "until ... repeat func()", "if ... goto func() else goto y", kunnen commandoblokken herhaald worden. Sommige talen kennen subtiele verschillen tussen deze constructies, bijvoorbeeld in de uitvoeringssnelheid, maar veelal is het de voorkeur van de programmeur die de keuze bepaald.

Ontwikkelmethodieken
In het bedrijfsleven worden computerprogramma's veelal volgens een bepaalde methodiek ontwikkeld, b.v. Prince2 of DSDM. Deze methodieken leggen naast de projectplanningsmethodiek vaak ook de manier van programmeren vast.

Andere methodieken, zoals XP (eXtreme Programming), definiëren alleen de functieblokken en de communicatie tussen de blokken. De programmeurs zijn vrij hun eigen stijl te volgen in de realisering van hun aandeel, daar ze in principe ook niet elkaars code hoeven te lezen.

Informatica


The City of Grayson first began treating and distributing potable drinking water to the residents of Grayson in 1931. Since that time our Treatment capacity has grown from 100,000 Gallons a day to 3.0 Million gallons per day. Today, the Grayson Utilities Commission provides water service to 4,200 customers. The customer base is made up of approximately 3,700 residential customers and 500 commercial customers and 2 industrial customers. The distribution system has 190 miles of various size water lines. There are currently 7 water storage tanks located throughout the system. We also have 10 water booster pump stations that we operate and maintain to provide adequate pressure to various areas throughout the system.
In 1998, with the completion of the AA highway, the water system service area increased greatly with the line extensions that followed along the AA highway. Water lines were also extended along Everman's Creek and Iron Hill. In 2000 a grant was received to extend water into the Hannah Lane,Wilson Creek Road, Pactolus areas, just North of Grayson. In 2001, another grant, along with a loan, was obtained to extend water into various areas of Carter and Greenup Counties. This project served the areas of Salem Road, Sutton Road, James Road, Colen Branch Road and Tygarts Creek Road in Carter County, as well as serving Throng Prong Road (KY-784), and Leatherwood in Greenup County.
In 2007 new water lines were extended on Zornes Branch and a new larger waterline extended on Stinson Creek and Canoe Run. This project also included the replacement of the existing Sunset Hill Booster pump station and replacement of old waterlines along Shady Lane, Hickory Street and Town Branch.

How Tom Colicchio And Dan Barber Are Trying To Save The Dairy Industry
lev radin/Shutterstock
By Lauren Rothman/Updated: March 17, 2022 9:20 am EST
If you buy milk in the U.S., you're likely familiar with the brand Horizon Organic, a certified organic producer of milk, cheese, and other dairy products. As explained by the New York Times, since its founding in 1991, the company has sourced its milk from a variety of small dairy producers, many located in the Northeastern United States. But what you might not know is that Horizon Organic became embroiled in a scandal starting last summer, when it announced it would be terminating contracts with 89 of these small-scale milk producers.
But it's not just the loss of the Horizon Organic contracts that is causing concern among dairy farmers in the Northeast. The organic dairy company Maple Hill Creamery followed suit last year, severing contracts with 46 organic farms in New York, according to the Associated Press. Both companies are dropping the smaller operations in favor of moving towards sourcing the majority of their milk from larger organic dairy farms out west, whose massive operations enable them to sell the milk at a lower price. The New York Times explains that one of these "mega-organic dairy farms," Aurora Organic, has 27,000 cows split between four farms in Texas and Colorado — roughly the same amount of cows on 500 of the smaller Northeastern farms.
Without the resources to compete, many of these farms have little hope for the future and are worried they will be forced to close. But chefs Dan Barber and Tom Colicchio are on a mission to save them.

In response to the plight of these small dairy farms — many of which have existed for generations — a new partnership has been established in order to drive business to the farmers who have lost a major source of income after their contracts with Horizon Organic and Maple Hill Creamery were severed. That initiative is called the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership (NOFFP), and, according to its official website, the plan is to ask households to pledge to commit to buying at least ¼ of their dairy products from brands that purchase milk from these at-risk dairies. NOFFP's founder and chair is Gary Hirshberg, the co-founder and former CEO of another popular dairy brand, Stonyfield Farm, which has committed to increasing the amount of milk it purchases from these Northeastern farmers (via Associated Press).
And the initiative is receiving additional support from respected New York chefs Tom Colicchio and Dan Barber, according to a press release. Colicchio, the chef and owner of Craft restaurants who's noted for his role as judge on "Top Chef," and Barber, chef and owner of the farm-to-table Blue Hill restaurants, have pledged to purchase a full 50% of the dairy used at their four New York restaurants from these struggling farms.

NOFFP is seeking support for its initiative from both families who purchase dairy for home use as well as from larger businesses such as restaurants. According to the press release, if New Yorkers bought just one extra pint of milk worth of regionally produced organic dairy per week, this would equal the entire output of the 135 endangered farms.
Larger organizations are joining in, too, with the Food Co-op Association (NFCA), a group of more than 45 food co-ops and start-ups with a combined membership of more than 160,000 people across New England and New York State, announcing that it will be the first retail organization to join the NOFFP.
So far, Tom Colicchio and Dan Barber are the first chefs to sign on to NOFFP's initiative, but according to the statement, they hope more restaurants in the Northeast will follow, helping to save the nearby dairy farms that have serviced the industry for generations.

Glenn basketball team surprises teammate with belated Christmas presents
by: Chris Tavarez
LEANDER (KXAN) — In just its third year of varsity basketball, Glenn High School is in the midst of its best season.
"Our guys have definitely bought in and we're seeing the results this year," head coach Byron Harkless said.
Those results are showing up beyond the Grizzlies' 22-4 record and current nine-game winning streak. After learning that senior forward David Kra didn't get anything for Christmas, the team surprised him with a new pair of shoes and a hoodie.
"It was just really shocking to me," Kra said. "It showed that they see me as a part of this family and that they have my back."
"For them to do that on their own, I didn't ask them to do that," Harkless said. "I'm not shocked at all. One of the best things I've seen in 10 years of coaching."
Jacob Stacks and Brandon Albert spearheaded the plan to give Kra a belated Christmas.
"We don't want to see somebody down around, especially Christmas time, when everybody should be happy," Stacks said.
"Just to see that big, bright smile on his face, I've never seen him smile so bright," Albert added. "It just made it all worth it. I wish I could do it all over again."
"The guys are getting it, you know," Harkless said. "We put in a lot of work as coaches. For them to pick it up and do that on their own, it means a lot."
The video of the gift exchange has gone viral, racking up millions of views, striking a unique chord within the sports world.
"It's a good thing that a message like that is blowing up, especially with everything that's going on in the world and things like that, it's good to spread positivity and try to influence people to act the right way and do things for other people," Kra said.
"The message of caring about people is important. a lot of people in this world that are probably less fortunate than me needed. It's also reminding us that we need to act that way to everybody.
"It made me realize that I need to be that way, as well. I need to start caring about other people, as well. Since I've been so lucky to get all this recognition and get everyone talking to me and stuff that I need to give that back and do the same thing for other people."
With shoes so often worn as a fashion statement, Kra wants his to say something more important.
AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The 6A-Division 1 state championship belongs to Westlake High School.
The Chaparrals completed an undefeated season with a 52-34 win against Southlake Carroll on Saturday night at Arlington's AT&T Stadium for the school's third football state championship in its 10th appearance. Westlake is a back-to-back 6A state champion after winning the 6A-Division 2 title in 2019.
by Billy Gates / Jan 16, 2021
AUSTIN (KXAN) — In a high school football season unlike any other, Class 5A and 6A football ends its 2020 season in 2021 Friday and Saturday.
Two Austin-area teams, Cedar Park and Westlake, are playing for state championships at AT&T Stadium, and while some fans will be allowed to watch the game in the stadium, folks that can't or don't want to make the trip to Arlington have options to follow the action.


The story revolves around the characters in the Hindu Epic "The Mahabharata" and is set in Dwaraka, the hometown of Lord Krishna (NTR). Arjuna's son Abhimanyu(ANR) falls in love with Balarama's daughter Sasirekha(Savitri). When the Pandava's lose their kingdom in the infamous game of dice to the Kaurava's, Balarama promises his daughters hand to Duryodhana's son, there by breaking the promise made to Subhadra(Abhimanu's mother and Balarama's sister). The rest of the movie is how Bhima's son Ghatotkacha(SVR) helps the lovers unite with his magic.

If you want to elevate your education study sessions, there are universities that offer cannabis classes, beginning this fall.
With more students wanting to learn more about cannabis, more and more universities in the United States are beginning to offer cannabis classes to the curriculum. But, when you consider that the weed industry is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, well, it just makes sense – especially as more states are seeking to legalize it.
Because of the growth of the industry, there has been an explosion of not only innovative products and companies starting up, but also ways to educate those who want to enter the industry and earn.
That's why certain universities across the country are starting to offer those cannabis classes, which are said to focus more on the legal and biological ramifications of its use.
According to an article published by Forbes, institutions like the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, Ohio State University and the University of California, Davis are offering a syllabus on the "biology and use of marijuana as well as legal issues around it".
Those universities join the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and the University of Vermont College of Medicine, who also offer training for those wanting to enter the industry.
And there are non-accredited classes being offered by Oaksterdam University, too. But, jokes aside, if you think it's all about smoking a bowl and talking about your favorite strain, you better think about studying something else.
The syllabus offered by the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine lets students study Medical Cannabis at a graduate level, a program that focuses on the chemistry of cannabis, its effects and the ever emerging therapeutic uses, as well as the "political and socio-economic influences on marijuana laws".
It is reported that students can choose whether to earn credits towards their final degrees, too. Sure, the universities don't provide weed for the seminars or study groups, but students are free to organize their own field trips to local dispensaries.
Currently, America has two actual cannabis colleges; the THC University and the Cannabis Training University. The two offer education and training for the industry, but the doesn't take away from the fact that traditional academic institutions are beginning to recognize the value in researching and teaching about the herb goes even further to legitimizing the industry.

Landmark Research Shows Americans Are Redefining The "Good Life"
80% would be loyal to brands that helped them live their new values
Large opportunity for business to support new aspirations of balance, health, and connections
DETROIT, May 23, 2017 - In spite of a chaotic political arena, a majority of Americans share the view that The Good Life is defined by connections to people and planet more than by material wealth and consumption. Furthermore, Americans are looking to brands to take the lead in showing them how they can make a more fulfilling life according to a US study of 1,000 adults 18+ conducted in April 2017. The Enabling the Good Life Report from Sustainable Brands and Harris Poll released today shows the dramatic shift in American attitudes and reflects a gap between people's new aspirations and the ways business responds.
This new zeitgeist is emerging across geographies, demographics, and political boundaries and beliefs. Despite the rapid pace of life and work, the widespread divisiveness seen in America's politics, unpredictable and tumultuous global conflicts, and the myriad of pressing social and environmental issues, there was much agreement in Americans' outlook.
"Due to our divided times, many assume Americans disagree on what The Good Life looks like. Yet, the research shows that young or old, Republican or Democrat, male or female – leading a balanced, healthy life that is connected to people and issues that matter is at the heart of these new aspirations. It turns out, we are more the same than different," said KoAnn Skrzyniarz, Founder/CEO of Sustainable Brands.
The landmark study released today, Enabling the Good Life: A Sustainable Brands/Harris Poll Report, was designed to understand the core elements that are most important to Americans defining The Good Life and how consumers and brands, individually and together, might accelerate the realization of these emerging aspirations.
The research shows that today's vision of The Good Life is different from the past, with 71% saying living the good life is different for them than it was for their parents – perhaps indicating a greater focus on simplicity, health and people over things and looking beyond oneself. What we think of as the traditional elements of the "Good Life," such as wealth and what it unlocks, may be shifting. There is an emerging desire for balance with two leading themes driving the new definition of the Good Life:
Meaningful Connections: 76% believe the Good Life is defined by having meaningful engagement with families and their communities, including those in need and the environment.
Balanced Simplicity: 66% believe the Good Life is defined by having good health and living a simple, yet balanced life. Americans are seeking reduced complexity and healthy behaviors - striking a tone of moderation, all actions contributing to their happiness.
Financial independence (26%) and personal goals (10%) such as career and education trailed balanced simplicity (36%) and human connections (28%) in what Americans view as most important factors in defining the Good Life.
While income (62%) is reported as a top obstacle preventing The Good Life, more than 3 in 4 Americans (78%) believe money cannot buy happiness.
The New Role for Business and Brands to Support the Good Life Journey
The research showed that brands have an enormous opportunity to help Americans achieve The Good Life. About half of Americans (51%) believe companies care about helping consumers achieve The Good Life and 75% of American consumers believe that if consumers demanded more products and services to help them achieve The Good Life, companies would change in order to provide them.
Yet, the majority of people in America (65%) feel the products and services offered by companies don't help them achieve what they see as The Good Life. Although brands are commonly looked to for value (18%) and health-related benefits (12%), fewer see a logical path for brands to connect them with others, issues, or their community.
"The majority of Americans believe brands can help them live more meaningful lives, yet two-thirds don't believe companies currently are providing products to help them do so. There's a return on empathy most marketers fail to comprehend," said Wendy Salomon, VP of the Harris Poll.
"People don't really have ideas of how brands can specifically help, and brands are waiting for consumers to tell them what to do. Instead, brands need to generate their own insights and ideas, based on Americans' emerging sense of what's important to a life well lived – and create their own innovations to bring to market," said Skrzyniarz. "Yes, there is a disconnect. Yet, if brands innovate, the payoff is that 4 in 5 Americans say they would be loyal to brands that help them achieve the Good Life."
Companies mentioned as contributing to "The Good Life" include high reputation favorites such as Starbucks, Tesla, and Apple, as well as brands like Target, REI and Panera. Industries that ranked the highest in terms of delivering on helping consumers live the good life include food (48%), technology (45%), and travel and leisure (40%) with fashion (25%), banking (29%) and other categories trailing.
"Going forward, companies and brands must evolve from marketing to mattering to people. Understanding what makes a difference in people's lives is the force of innovation that leads to true brand loyalty," said Chris Hollander, Head of Marketing, Panera Bread, a brand recognized by the research as helping people to achieve the Good Life.
According to Sustainable Brands, that will require:
Deeper engagement with stakeholders to better understand how brands/companies have potential to support the new definition of The Good Life.
Using constraints as an opportunity to reimagine and create with consumers products/services that matter.
Redefining value beyond "more and cheaper is better" as consumption does not meet the new definition of American's view of The Good Life.
The full study, slated for release at Sustainable Brands '17 Detroit on May 23rd, is part of a three-year initiative by Sustainable Brands entitled "Redefining, Redesigning and Delivering The Good Life."

Trump Asks Putin If It's Okay For Him To Celebrate American Independence Day
By James Schlarmann
WASHINGTON, D.C. — This Independence Day morning, President Trump started his day by deviating from his normal routine of hours of uninterrupted rage tweeting on the toilet, and instead sent an urgent message through the Kushner Back Channel Communications Network to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin.
"Dear Vlad, I was wondering — and this is only if it's, like, totally cool with you of course, if I could maybe celebrate the Fourth of July today," Trump's communique to the Russian president reads. "You know, it's technically our Independence Day here, I guess, and some of the people get really into it."
On Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee issued a report on the 2016 presidential election that would seem to toss an awful lot of cold water on a lot of the president's more outspoken conspiracy theories, excuses, and defenses as they pertain to Russian interference aimed at helping him win. The committee's report concurs with the overwhelming consensus of the intelligence community that Putin directed an influence campaign in an effort to push voters toward Trump and away from his opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The report is particularly problematic for Trump because the committee is chaired and run by Republicans.
If Trump's own party sees evidence of Russia's meddling, it's unclear why Trump is so hesitant to publicly rebuke Putin for it. Some on the Hill have offered on idea, however.
"Well, would it do a puppet any good to yell at the hand up its ass for making a fist," one insider asked us. "Because that's what it would be like for Trump and Putin."

Trump, in an effort to secure permission from his employer to have a Fourth of July party, made concessions to Mr. Putin.
"I keep meaning to say sorry about that Senate committee report," Trump writes. "They had no right to do that to you, Sir. And I will absolutely be issuing an official Presidential Decree banishing them from the land. I'm having my head fascist Stephen Miller draft the decree right now."
The Kremlin has issued a response to Trump's request to celebrate America's independence.
"Sure, my Little Orange Cyka, sure," Putin wrote back. "You guys celebrate your…independence. Your complete and total independence. Because you're definitely not beholden to anyone who helped you win, or helped facilitate billions of dollars in loans and business deals for your crime syndicate — excuse me — family's organization. Sure, you go and celebrate being 'free,' Donny. We'll talk later."

Hello and Thank you Kyra for the lovely clusters from Arlene (Hello and Thank you Arlene).
Kyra your Cauliflower recipe looks very interesting too.
Good morning Kyra. Your recipe sounds delicious (except for the mushrooms. I would leave them out.) I am so jealous that you are able to work in the garden already. We still can't get to ours. Oh well, Spring will make it to my town eventually.
The weather here has been fabulous. Today we will go pick a few items at the market, and then look for some birds to photograph.
Then it will be back to our crochet projects. DIL is making a rather pretty sweater shrug, and I'm working on am afghan.
It's getting very close to noon, so we are going to head out now. You have a wonderful day my friend. Hugs, Edna B.
Thanks to Arlene for the pretty clusters. and thanks to you for the kit she used.
thanks to you and Arlene, for the beautiful clusters! so glad you got your papers sent and Jan has his new appt. I hope you will take pictures of your garden later in the year. I love to garden too, and we'll be nice all next week so looking forward to working in mine too!

Q: complicated graphviz tree structure I am trying to create a tree structure with graphviz. I am open to either writing the graphviz code by hand or using the ruby-graphviz gem for ruby. Given the below picture can anyone provide any insight on the necessary code? Ignore that the lines are not straight...they should be when graphviz builds the graph. I am open to having dots/points when lines intersect as well.
I have played with ruby-graphviz and the family tree class...this is getting me part of the way there but I really need all lines to be straight and intersect at right angles and the out-of-the-box code doesn't seem to do that.
The code should be generic enough to allow for the "C" box to have children as well and for there also to be more children under "A".
The colors are irrelevant...the examples can exclude any coloring.
http://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1lUTfgKP_LN0x7C3ItbsFjfLBuDTL84AtmoaW7YFn32Y&w=1036&h=713

A: As far as I know this requires a little work-around; I will only do it in Graphviz DOT language. I give you the solution first, then provide some explanations of how you can extend it.
This is the resulting figure:

This is the Graphviz code producing the figure:
graph atree {
  Item1 [shape=none,label="Item 1",pos="2.2,1.1!"];
  Item2 [shape=none,label="Item 2",pos="2.2,0.1!"];
  Item3 [shape=none,label="Item 3",pos="2.9,-0.3!"];
  A [shape=box,color=lightblue,style=filled,pos="2,3!"];
  B [shape=box,color=lightblue,style=filled,pos="1,2.1!"];
  C [shape=box,color=lightblue,style=filled,pos="3,2.1!"];
  D [shape=box,color=lightblue,style=filled,pos="1.5,1.5!"];
  E [shape=box,color=lightblue,style=filled,pos="1.5,0.5!"];
  D0 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="2,2.5!",label=""];
  D1 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="1,2.5!",label=""];
  D2 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="3,2.5!",label=""];
  D3 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="1,1.5!",label=""];
  D4 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="1,0.5!",label=""];
  D5 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="1.5,1.1!",label=""];
  D6 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="1.5,0.1!",label=""];
  D7 [style=invisible,fixedsize=true,width=0,height=0,pos="2.2,-0.3!",label=""];
  A -- D0 -- D1 -- B -- D3 -- D4 -- E [color=blue];
  E -- D6 -- Item2 -- D7 -- Item3 [color=blue];
  D0 -- D2 -- C [color=blue];
  D3 -- D -- D5 -- Item1 [color=blue];
}

If you put it in a file named inputfile.dot you can get the resulting image file by using the command neato -Tpng inputfile.dot > outfile.png.
Now a couple of comments on how it works: The code building the tree with A, B, C, D, E, Item1, Item2, Item3 is straightforward (the attributes merely set the colors and box styles). The trick to get the lines straight and orthogonal consists of 1) adding invisible nodes with zero size to the graph, and 2) positioning all objects in absolute coordinates on the canvas. The auxiliary nodes D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 are needed for step 1) and the pos="x,y!" options are needed for step 2). Note, that you need the ! sign at the end of the pos command since otherwise the positions would not be considered final and the layout would still get changed.
You can add additional nodes by first positioning a new node (by using the code for the nodes A ... Item3 as a template), adding an invisible, auxiliary node (with pos such that all connections to and from it are orthogonal) and then adding the connection to the graph via <StartingNode> -- <AuxiliaryNode> -- <NewNode>.

A: Still another version using splines=ortho, which needs less hidden nodes and gives similar visual result.
digraph example {
    splines=ortho;
    ranksep=0.05;

    node[shape=box, color=lightblue, style=filled];
    A;B;C;D;E;

    node[shape=none, color=none, style=solid];
    i1[label="Item 1"];
    i2[label="Item 2"];
    i3[label="Item 3"];

    node[label="", width=0, height=0];
    edge[arrowhead=none, color=blue];
    n1; n2; n3; n4; n5;

    {rank=same; B; C;}
    A -> n1;
    n1 -> B;
    n1 -> C;

    {rank=same; n2; D;}
    B -> n2;
    n2 -> D;

    {rank=same; n3; i1;}
    D -> n3;
    n3 -> i1;

    {rank=same; n4; E;}
    n2 -> n4;
    n4 -> E;

    {rank=same; n5; i2;}
    E -> n5;
    n5 -> i2;

    {rank=same; n6; i3;}
    i2 -> n6;
    n6 -> i3;
}

A: A little late, I know, but I just wanted to show an other version without having to figure out the exact positions of each node.
digraph {
    splines=false;
    ranksep=0.05;

    node[shape=box, color=lightblue, style=filled];
    A;B;C;D;E;

    node[shape=none, color=none, style=solid];
    i1[label="Item 1"];
    i2[label="Item 2"];
    i3[label="Item 3"];

    node[label="", width=0, height=0];
    edge[arrowhead=none, color=blue];

    {rank=same; n2; n1; n3;}
    n2; n1; n3;
    A -> n1;
    n2 -> n1 -> n3;

    {rank=same; B; C;}
    n2 -> B;
    n3 -> C;

    {rank=same; n4; D;}
    B -> n4 -> D;

    {rank=same; n6; n5; i1;}
    D -> n5 -> i1;
    n4 -> n6;

    {rank=same; n7; E;}
    n6 -> n7 -> E;

    {rank=same; n8; i2;}
    E -> n8 -> i2;

    {rank=same; n9; i3;}
    i2 -> n9 -> i3;
}

Straight lines are enforced by:

*

*splines=false - say no to splines

*invisible nodes (nodes n1, n2,... n9)

*placing nodes on the same rank with rank=same
It's still some work to get the dot file right, but it beats imho calculating yourself the position of each node.
Output looks like this:

As long as C has no child nodes, you'd have to apply some more trickery (invisible nodes) to display it all the way to the right.
In order to get a more general solution for different graphs, some further adaptations will probably be needed (apply weight to vertical edges, or group nodes which have to be vertically aligned, or use subgraphs, ...).


Speed Bleeder is the patented bleeder screw with the built-in check valve. It is truly a one-person bleeder screw. Once installed, it becomes a permanent part of the brake system. When it's time to bleed the brakes, you loosen the speed bleeder ¼ turn, and pump your brake pedal. When the brake pedal is depressed the pressure generated opens the check valve letting air and brake fluid out of the end of the speed bleeder. When the brake pedal is released the check valve closes, and prevents an air from returning to the system. A must have for the weekend racer.

My Bloody Valentine have announced their first gig of 2018
The announcement follows the confirmation by guitarist Kevin Shields of the release of a new album by the shoegaze legends next year—which was revealed along with the promotion of Shields' rare solo performance at Sigur Rós' Norður og Niður Holiday Arts Festival in Iceland this past December.
My Bloody Valentine have stated via their official Facebook page that they will be performing at Japan's Sonic Mania festival, an offshoot of the annual Summer Sonic fest, on August 17th.
Nine Inch Nails are also featured on the bill.
Meanwhile, out now are the reissues of My Bloody Valentine's first two albums, 1988's Isn't Anything and 1991's Loveless, on vinyl.
The reissues are fully analog, 180-gram LPs remastered from the original analog tapes. They come packaged in a heavy weight tip-on style gatefold sleeve with a poly lined printed inner sleeve.
Order the vinyl reissues here
My Bloody Valentine are quite popular in Japan—so much so in fact that there is an easter egg dedicated to them in the extremely popular video game Final Fantasy VII, which features posters displaying the title of a fictional theatrical performance of My Bloody Valentine and Loveless—with a woman on the posters resembling singer/guitarist Bilinda Butcher.

 AD, I-Ar. The document carries Lincoln's signature, but is not otherwise in his hand. It is probable that Lincoln had relatively little to do with the actual composition of the report. He attended but few of the committee meetings, as indicated in the proceedings of the committee. Orlando B. Ficklin, probably the principal author, delivered the report to the House on January 21, 1840.
 Where ``undersigned'' appears, the original word ``committee'' has been deleted, as the result of the fact that a minority of the committee disagreed and chose to make a separate report.
 George W. Dole was a director of the bank.

Q: Event aggregator and collections i want to use an event aggregator to syncronize my viewmodel with the view (the viewmodel ovservs the model), this is very simple to implement in the model, simply call notify on the setters of the properties.
but it gets more complicated when the model has collections.
where should be the code which will call notify?
what would be the interface of the collection in the model?
IList?
the only solution that i've thought of is inhereting form a base class which will use reflection to iterate through all the IList fields, try to cast them to INotifyCollectionChanged and will add an event handler which will call notify.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Erik.

A: I would suggest using ObservableCollection rather than IList as the view will not get updated when the collection is added to or removed from.


So often the focus of document shredding is to protect sensitive business data but there's another benefit to shredding that is just as important – protecting your customer's data. A data breach can bring down a business for many reasons, including a perceived lack of protections of customer data. Shredding services in Chicago can help prevent that kind of disaster from ever happening.
strong shredding policy is a good idea. From online retailers to doctors and hospitals to previous employers and companies you haven't done business with in 10 years, they all have plenty of sensitive data on you. Likewise, you have plenty of sensitive data for your own customers.
It's very easy for small and mid-sized businesses to skip the important step of document handling and protection thinking they're not high profile enough to ever be the victim of a security attack. But security attacks and breaches can happen to any business at any time. In fact, many of them happen internally; unhappy employees or less than honest employees can easily access and use private data for their own reasons.
Protect data by adopting a document retention and destruction policy and then communicating that policy to your employees. Employees must understand their role in the plan before they can step up and be responsible for it. Employees should be able to communicate the basics of plan to any customer who asks how their private data will be used, stored, and protected. This will engender consumer confidence in your company.
Combined Resources Inc. (CRI) can help you develop a strong policy to protect sensitive customer data that includes our shredding services in Chicago. While cyber attacks gets all the attention, physical data breaches and security leaks can be just as devastating. Shredding can help reduce business risk by reducing or eliminating the amount of data that could be compromised in a breach.
Know The Law. Did you know that there are state and federal laws that govern document storage and destruction? Partner with a shredding service in Chicago that is familiar with these laws so you don't have to worry about what to retain and what to shred and when and what can be retained electronically versus what must be kept in physical form.
Know Your Shredder. If you're going to do the shredding yourself, know what kind of shredder you have. Some of them only cut papers into strips, which could be pieced back together by an industrious thief. Others, shred in two directions making it much more difficult to do this.
Shred Regularly. Establish a regular shredding schedule so you never miss a date or allow things to pile up. Shredding should be as second nature as backing up your servers.
You can save yourself the headache of shredding documents internally and keeping to a schedule by partnering with CRI for shredding services in Chicago. We'll establish a schedule with you from the start and even provide you with secure bins where you can safely store documents that need to be shredded. Once the documents go into the bin, they don't come out until we arrive on-site to destroy them. Shredding is done at your place of work so you know the data is destroyed before it even leaves your site.

WOW. It seems like just yesterday I was taking Andrea and Brian's Engagement Portraits up at Mt. Charleston (Click here to View Post: Las Vegas Engagement Photographer). I honestly couldn't have asked for a more lovely couple than these two. I am so grateful and honored to have been chosen to capture the most amazing day of their lives! It all started at THE HOTEL with the girls getting ready with hair and make up by Gina Conte From Tease Salon and MakeUp in the 702. Of course, Andrea and the girls were totally excited but I couldn't believe also how relaxed everyone was! I loved so many of these moments; You could really tell just how close these girls were and how much they loved their friend and Bride! I especially loved the moments shared between Andrea and her mom… I love when the mom cries! LOL!
While this was all going on, my partner in crime for the day, Emily Ku was photographing the Groom and Groomsmen at a friends home. I thought these guys were looking quite dashing in their plaid ties and hand folded handkerchiefs! Emily later confessed that she had to help the guys with a tie or two 🙂 Gotta love a second shooter who's willing to go the extra mile! And with that we were all off to the beautiful Anthem Country Club! I love everything about this property! All the natural landscaping, the ceremony by the water and that gorgeous sunset glow I captured during the Bride and Groom's final portraits! Kimberly Benson and the staff is really on top of everything and great to work with too!
It really seemed like this couple thought of everything; CD of their favorite music for party favors, the signed bottles of wine and champaign they plan to open each milestone anniversary and more! My favorite details were the centerpiece arrangements by Primrose Lane Flowers and the lovely cake by DW Bistro – I would describe both of these details as 'Simple Elegance'! I also had the pleasure of meeting and working with Angie Kelly of Peachy Keen Unions — What an AMAZING officiant! She was so well spoken, tasteful and personal – I thought she was playing a part in a movie… she was really that good! Oh and did I mention that this entire bridal party knows how to party???? I've never seen so much action on the dance floor thanks to All Night Long Entertainment!
Pretty much everything about this wedding was PERFECT but most of all THE COUPLE!
May you love each other more and more with every passing day!!
I am getting married 4.13.14. I love your work. Nicci Pucci recommended you 🙂 Can you please send me wedding package prices.


Tapas restaurants are definitely popular destinations in Shanghai and I found two places that I really like. My friend Cher took me to Malabar (1081 Wuding Lu; 武定路1081号), which is on the popular and lively restaurant street, Wuding Road. We ordered croquetas, olives and grilled baby squid to start. The croquetas were a little too oily and I probably wouldn't order them again. I did love the olives, which were meaty in texture, and the grilled baby squid. The calamaritos a la plancha "con su tinta" were cooked perfectly and the chimichurri sauce complemented it really well.
I was so excited to see ribeye steak from Uruguay on the menu and we happily ordered the 300g portion. This steak was served medium rare with an onion compote and roasted potatoes. For only 175 RMB, this dish is a total steal! The meat was tender and flavorful and I loved the onion compote. I saw that this one of my the most popular dishes in the restaurant with practically every table ordering one. Finally, Cher and I ended our meal with manchego cheese, which was a healthy portion of cheese and a tomato jam. Malabar is definitely a popular restaurant because the place filled up and people were waiting in line to get in. For the pricing and quality of food, I think it's definitely a solid spot for tapas.
Tomatito (2/F, 99 Taixing Lu; 泰兴路99号2楼) is part of the famous El Willy Group and is the more casual restaurant compared to sister restaurants, El Elefante and El Willy. I've been to Tomatito twice and the place is always popping.
While Tomatito serves classic Spanish dishes, there are also a lot of unconventional items. In terms of dishes that I would recommend, I liked the albondigas. These meatballs are served in a casserole dish with potatoes and tomato sauce with some sliced bread. The "broken egg" dish is a fried egg served ripped up on top of potatoes, BBQ pork belly and chilis. It was an interesting combination and felt very hearty with the potatoes. However, I felt the nachos were less successful. These nachos were also topped with multiple fried eggs, but I felt it made it too difficult to eat. Nachos are meant to be eaten with my hands and not my knife and fork. My favorite dish of the night was definitely the calamari (non-fried), which was tender pieces of squid served with a garlic aioli and lemon juice. My second favorite dish were the steak "air baguettes," which were crispy crackers topped with cheese spread and a slice of beef.
The second time I went to Tomatito, it was for Cher's birthday and I brought a special ordered cookie cake from Pom Pom Cookies. I've written about my love of Pom Pom Cookies on my blog before, but this was my first time ordering one of her cookie cakes. I ordered a triple chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. I cannot rave enough about how AMAZING this cake is. Each layer is a thick, chewy cookie, which makes this cake incredibly dense. Since the "cake layers" were heavier, I actually liked that the cream cheese frosting was on the lighter side. While it may look small, the cake can literally feed 20 people. There were 10 of us and we could only eat half. It is deceptively filling. If you're interested in one of Pom Pom Cookies' cakes, you can email her directly for flavors and pricing (info@pompomcookies.com).
I love the whole concept of Jason Atherton's The Commune Social (511 Jiangning Road; 江宁路511号)– a tapas, dessert and cocktail bar. The Commune Social has different rooms for each course so diners can choose their own fancy. When you first walk into the restaurant, there is a small room with a few tables that also directly face the dessert bar. As you keep wandering through toward the back of the restaurant, you're greeted by a warm, open kitchen surrounded by eager diners. When I visited this past weekend, the weather was cold and rainy, but I could see the open terrace, which would be the perfect spot to enjoy a fruity beverage on a warm summer day. Upstairs on the second floor is a cocktail bar. I really like the idea that you could come to the The Commune Social and fulfill any one of your cravings– a well-crafted cocktail, delicious tapas or a scrumptious dessert.
There were so many interesting items on the menu and it was actually hard to decide what to get. My friend and I started our meal with the duck empanada with pan-seared foie gras and one of the specials of the day, tomato tartar. The duck empanada was a beautiful stuffed pastry, chalk-full of shredded duck and it was served on top of a sweet onion relish. I couldn't help but salivate when I saw the foie gras, which is one of my favorite foods in the entire world. While the empanada was tasty, the foie gras really stole the show and I ended up just taking my time and enjoying every single bite with the sweet onion relish. The tomato tartar was not anything special, but I wanted something refreshing since it was raining outside. I enjoyed the medley of fresh tomatoes, but some of the cherry tomatoes were still too raw and not ready to eat.
For our main course, we ordered the suckling pig, which was served with a sherry dressing with roasted pineapple and peppers. The skin on the pig was so incredibly crispy that it was almost hard to cut through. The meat was tender and fatty, but I was really digging the creamy, mashed apple sauce. I liked how it was a play on pork chops and apple sauce. The dessert was the probably my favorite part of the meal. We ordered the peanut ice cream with red fruit and salted peanut caramel, which the waiter told us was the most popular dessert on the menu. While there was a cylinder of peanut butter ice cream, there were also these scoops of peanut butter mousse. When I scooped a small piece, I heard the instant crunch when my spoon touched the mound. It was like they took wafer cookies, mashed them up and mixed them with this wonderful peanut butter mousse. It almost crackled in your mouth like Pop Rocks candy. Normally, I'm not the biggest fan of peanut butter, but I loved this dessert. By mixing it with berries and a fruit sorbet, I felt like I was eating a fancy peanut butter and jelly dessert.
I definitely want to go back to The Commune Social again soon. I felt like I only tried a small snippet of their menu and there are so many dishes left to try. I've also heard really good things about their brunch. The restaurant doesn't take reservations so it may be difficult to go with a large party. But if you and a friend are cool with sitting on stools for a relaxed meal, you'll definitely be rewarded with a delicious meal. Just don't forget to leave room for dessert!
So I'm in Shanghai for the next month and caved into paying for a VPN. I couldn't last a whole 4-5 weeks with no access to my blog! You know what else I miss in China? Yelp. Yes, part of me understands why it's blocked in China, but Yelp could totally be the Holy Grail for foreigners here in Shanghai. There are SO many restaurants here and a real lack of reviews. Fear not! I am here to try and fill in those gaps for you. While you may judge me for eating at Western restaurants in Shanghai, please note that I also eat plenty of Chinese food. There's just really good Western food that you can't pass up.
I just got back from one of those nights. One of those magical nights that remind you why you love China so freaking much. My friend Vanessa* and I tried out a new Spanish restaurant called Bocado, located in the French Concession on the 2nd floor of 47 Yong Fu Road (永富路47号2楼). Bocado just opened about 7 months ago and now has live flamenco guitar music every Wednesday night. I highly recommend you go on a Wednesday because the music was amazing. The guitarist played "La Camisa Negra" by Juanes and won 500 million points for that. Seriously, you can never have too much Juanes in your life. I met Bocado's owner, Charles Cabell, and brand-new manager, Pablo. Charlie and Pablo were incredibly nice and sent me complimentary appetizers after I shared my MOO blog business card with them (the perks of being an eater extraordinaire).
The birthday festivities continued with a fun group meal at Campanula Kitchen and Bar in San Francisco's North Beach area. I first found out about Campanula from UrbanDaddy. Since North Beach is mostly, touristy Italian restaurants, I was definitely intrigued to try a tapas bar.


Lisa Manterfield was a sensible 32-year-old when she met The One-a man who sparked a passion for tango, an urge to break down closed doors, and a deep-rooted desire to reproduce. Five years later she was a baby addict, hiding her addiction, plotting a maternity ward heist, and threatening anything that got in her way, including her beloved husband and his pesky practicality.
In this gritty and honest memoir, Manterfield traces her spiraling route from rational 21st century woman to desperate mama-wannabe. She examines the siren song of motherhood, the insidious lure of the fertility industry, and the repercussions of being childless in a mom-centric society. But this isn't just another infertility story with another miracle baby ending, nor is it a sad introspective of a childless woman; this is a story about love, desire, and choices-and ultimately about hope. It is the story of a woman who escapes her addiction, not with a baby, but with her sanity, her marriage, and her sense-of-self intact.

EDDIE THE EAGLE and KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES Get Release Dates
by Evan Dickson March 14, 2015
Fox has set release dates for two films on its 2016 slate. First up is Eddie the Eagle, the new film from director Dexter Fletcher (Sunshine on Leith). It stars Taron Egerton (who just made a huge breakout in Kingsman: The Secret Service) and Hugh Jackman (who needs no introduction). The film, which Perri did a nice job of breaking down the other day, is about ski jumper Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards who, though tenacity and charm, managed to succeed by failing upwards. The more Olympic events he lost, the more popular he became. Written by Sean Macaulay, I'm sort of hoping this is a comedy because I don't know if we need to be giving this one The King's Speech treatment. Eddie the Eagle is now set to come out on April 29th, 2016.
Also hitting screens in April is Keeping Up With the Joneses. The film stars Zach Galifianakis, Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher and Gal Gadot. It was directed by Greg Mottola who gave us Superbad and Adventureland. Per Deadline the film is "about a suburban couple who become convinced that their new neighbors are government spies." Sounds kind of like a riff on The 'Burbs. That film opens on April 1st, 2016.

Without a doubt, Gentle Teaching has transformed the person I am and the person (and nurse) I aspire to be. Gentle teaching isn't a job, or just an area within COR that I happen to work in, but a lifestyle and something I plan to carry with me for the rest of my life as I have seen the difference it can make. Gentle Teaching hasn't changed the world around me, but has taught me how to change things in myself. Simply putting it, gentle teaching has changed my life and because of it, made me a better person. It has given me a new lens to view the world, and new ways to interact with the people in it. It has given me the tools to build genuine and loving relationships with the people in my life. Gentle teaching has shown me that everyone, from the individual that I serve with COR, to my friends and family, to the patients I care for, to people I meet out in the community, all have things I can learn from them and without gentle teaching I wouldn't have the tools to make these meaningful connections and allowing me to learn so much from others. Since working with COR I have realized that the individual I support has taught me so many things about life, about resilience, and about kindness. He has been an incredible teacher and a great example of how to be loving towards others, and how much a smile and a simple 'hello' to a stranger is appreciated. And as much as I hate to admit it now, something I would avoid prior to working with individual I serve.
In my journey of becoming a nurse, I have seen a lot of people, especially many nurses, that have forgotten that people deserve to be treated like exactly that, a person. Not a disease, diagnosis or disability, not a room number or the next thing on a never ending to-do list, but a person. Generally in the hospital setting a patient is probably having one of their worst days, and the simple acts of kindness, compassion and a human connection can make an incredible difference for them. Nursing is a demanding profession and it can be easy on a busy day to become overwhelmed and forget that our job is to care for our patients. It is easy to become frustrated and cold towards them and be upset that they need so much from us. Going forward in my nursing career I will always use the tools that gentle teaching has given me and incorporate them in to my nursing practice as much as any other skill or technique that I have acquired over my time as nursing student. I will always treat my patients as people first and not the issues they are dealing with. I will remember that it is the changes that I make within myself when caring for them that makes the difference. I plan to always be genuine with my patients and make the time to build unconditional relationships with them, providing an environment for them to feel safe, supported and secure with me, allowing us to work towards the goal of health and wellness together. Gentle Teaching has been an invaluable tool for me, and I am so thankful that I found this organization and discovered this way of life.

All 4 boss to leave Channel 4
Written by Jonathan Easton
17th May 2019 @ 10:42
All 4 head Richard Davidson-Houston is to leave Channel 4 after 12 years.
Davidson-Houston oversaw the transformation from the largely catch-up focused 4oD into All 4 in 2015. During that time, All 4 saw a period of record growth in digital viewing and digital revenues.
All 4 is now available on more than 20 platforms in the UK and has over 20 million registered users, including over two-thirds of all 16-34 year olds in the UK
Davidson-Houston joined Channel 4 in 2007, and was appointed head of Channel 4 Online in 2010.
Prior to his time at Channel 4, Davidson-Houston worked as an internet business consultant and a founder before joining Microsoft in 2002, where he became UK business manager for Messenger, Hotmail and MSN.
Davidson-Houston said: "It's time to get stuck in to something new. Channel 4 has been part of my life for a long time. I'm happy that I'm leaving All 4 in good shape and wish my colleagues all the best for the future".
Ian Katz, director of programmes at Channel 4 said: "Richard has played the pivotal role in building All 4 into a hugely successful on demand service that punches well above its weight. He has been a key figure in shaping the channel's response to the digital challenge and will be much missed."
