Pinnacle Media, A New Age Advertising Agency, Taking The E-Commerce Space By Storm
Canadian-based agency Pinnacle Media is setting higher industry standards by bringing game-changing systems proven to help E-Commerce brands scale profitability and predictability.
Pinnacle Media Inc, is revolutionizing the E-Commerce industry by implementing their proven marketing fundamentals into their partners customer acquisition journeys, all done via paid traffic.
"Scaling online isn't by any means rocket science and it's actually much more simple than a lot of brand owners think. By merging our proven systems into healthy eComm brands, we're able to generate immensely profitable ad results that are evergreen and sustainable for the long-term, which so many brands struggle with accomplishing. That's where Pinnacle Media Inc. comes into the picture," says Domenic Iandolo, Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Media.
The paid traffic agency leads the charge in helping healthy E-Commerce brands scale their monthly revenue using paid traffic, by helping brands create omnipresence through Facebook ads, Instagram ads, Google ads, and TikTok ads while simultaneously turning them into industry-leading giants.
Domenic says the team at Pinnacle Media does this by giving clients access to proven customer acquisition methods that their team has forged and battle-tested over the last 3 years. By implementing these systems, E-Commerce brands can confidently turn their ad spend dollars into new realized profit.
Before spending a penny on their clients ads, the team performs its "Advertising Launch Process" which involves gaining a deep-rooted understanding of the current ad account performance, their clients ideal customer, and the brands competitors.
"This is one of the most important processes we as an agency conduct, because it allows us to see if there are any noticeable holes we need to plug before we start spending any money on paid traffic," Deysi Perez, Chief Performance Officer at Pinnacle Media says.
Over the last 3 years, Pinnacle Media has helped E-Commerce brands turn their cold audiences into loyal and recurring customers through the social giants ad platforms. Their big belief is that every online brand should be striving to acquire loyal customer, rather than solely focusing on generating new ones.
Domenic says "It's much easier to convert a customer who has purchased from you in the past, and had a great experience doing so, compared to converting someone who has never heard of you and is initially skeptical of who you are and what you sell."
The E-Commerce advertising agency has built ground breaking proof of concept with its online marketing methods, with the Pinnacle Media team mastering its ability to effectively place proper ads in front of a brands ideal customer.
Lizbeth A, a Beauty & Cosmetics Brand Owner, said in a review: "Pinnacle Media helped me take my social media advertising presence to the next level. They were able to generate insane awareness, which led to tons of sales."
Meanwhile, Barend Kruger, a Men's Fashion Brand Owner, described the Pinnacle Media team as "tremendous."
"Thank you for a fantastic service and the most astonishing can-do attitude throughout our collaboration," Barend said in a separate review.
Domenic, for his part, assured clients that Pinnacle Media constantly stays at the forefront of paid traffic techniques to sustain a modern take on digital marketing.
"Our clients can feel confident knowing their end-user will be reached in modern-day media channels. It's our responsibility as an agency to help give our client partners execute on every possible opportunity there is to expand," the marketing agency CEO assured.
Pinnacle Media Inc. has become one of the fastest-growing paid traffic agencies in Western Canada and has also expanded its clientele into the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, United Arab Emirates, and even some countries within Europe.

The Nick and TK show is a spoof of the traditional rigid sports radio show. Serious debates about a trivial subject such as sports has been created and recycled by numerous entities. We want to bring excitement and chaos to the sports show construct. We take regular sports segments and give them a funny twist, as well as having important pop culture news embedded in the show.

Military get RnR time in between their rotation, which means she most likely got pregnant during that time which would explain her 6-7 month pregnant look in the image. Disrespectful.
Agreed… Have some respect! Spouses of deployed members have a tough role too!
Those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan often come home at some point during their tour for a week our two of R&R so this is not a pregnancy fail at all.
So glad others got to it before me. Whomever made this meme is a very naive person. Or she really is not genuine. Never know with those military wives. If you don't believe that you're more naive than the PhotoShop artist.
I've been married to my soldier for six years now without a single temptation. It's not uncommon for military couples to get pregnant during leave. In fact it's brilliant and I have considered this plan myself! That way, hopefully, dad is home and doesn't miss the birth. If this was a pregnancy due to unfaithfulness I doubt she'd bare her tummy with the words "Welcome home DADDY!" painted on it to humilate herself and her soldier.


It's not exactly for the faint-of-heart, so if you just got done with the Weight Loss post and thought I'd lob you another softball, well, uh, sorry.
For those who are into design, though, it's great, in that it gives a field theory/probabilistic interpretation of averaged complexity that's useful in creating larger organizational boundary conditions and forces for change. As with all probabilistic modeling, it's not so much descriptive on how individual actors inside a system work together to create new ideas. But it's more useful. I've been badgering Jake to make up some Labview models of "virtual instruments", with little dials and such on the front to show, quantitatively, how these variables are related. Methinks a quickie creativity-meter looms in our shared future. It's a wicked combo — bright, innovative thinkers and me — the iconic old nag.
Contrast this with the deterministic work on creativity in social networks I've done, based on nonlinear differential equations. One of the fascinating meta-things that this little comparison shows is also how the various v-Memes create knowledge structures that, over time, can converge to a larger truth. Nonlinear differential equations are as Legalistic/Algorithmic as you get — one initial condition gives you one unique solution that may indeed be extremely complex. But running a bunch of these to make sure it's the only answer takes forever. Contrast that to the probabilistic approach of thermodynamics, more at home one v-Meme level up, in the Performance/Goal-based heuristics space. Here, thermodynamics inherently works on averages inside a larger system boundary. More compact and potentially easier to calculate.
While both approaches give insight, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Jake's approach might be more useful for setting organizational policy, whereas the nonlinear ODE understanding is more useful in understanding individuals interacting, and create lower level training. And that would also map to the insights of the v-Memes. Legalistic/Absolutistic v-Memes for rules for an organization, and Performance-Based thinking for larger goal setting.
It's all great! We're figuring it out!


The metaphor of Exodus is one that has dogged the Jews from the outset. Their very success attracts resentment.
I'm glad many Jews attend Knick games.
Anti-Semitism has not disappeared, and European Jews have too often come under attack.
I come from generations of progressive, atheist Jews.
The argument that all Jews have a heartfelt investment in the state of Israel is untrue. Some have a heartfelt investment in corned beef sandwiches.
We in the Joint List are living proof that Arabs and Jews refuse to be enemies.
The Knesset members - Jews and Arabs - don't represent the state of Israel. The government is the one that represents the state of Israel officially.
The fact is that we created 10 to 20,000 jobs for Arabs and Jews and Druze, which has made the Galilee a very positive place.
What you have in the Middle East is tension not between Jews and Arabs, not between Israelis and Palestinians, but between the radical wing and the moderate people.
Fear is the main factor in Arab politics... There is no Arab who is not harmed by Jews' entry into Palestine.
Jews cannot be apathetic when hundreds of thousands of refugees are searching for safe haven.
In addition to public housing, South Williamsburg is home to shabby artists' lofts like mine, apartments of Hasidic Jews, and one extremely tall, high-priced condo.
Arab society features apartheid of women, apartheid of homosexuals, and apartheid of Christians, Jews, and democracy.
I am keen and anxious for the safety of both the Jews and the Palestinians.
Anti-Semitism is not just a problem for Jews; it is a problem for all of our society.
Eventually, I moved from a place of anger toward the Jews of Israel toward a place of embrace.

Interior Rushes To Advance Arctic Drilling
Written by Rebekah Ashley, February 12th, 2019
As a part of President Trump's plan to sell leases for drilling in our nation's largest wildlife refuge, the Department of the Interior (DOI) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a rushed draft environmental impact statement (EIS) on December 22. This came just shortly before the five-week government shutdown.
While the public was promised a sound environmental review process, actions speak louder than words. The review, arbitrarily limited to one year, has been rushed and arguably predetermined. What is certainly does not do is align with Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski's promise to "do it right," to "take care of our lands, wildlife and people."
The review lacks critical information and rests on the false perceptions that "we're only impacting the coastal plain part of the Refuge, which is just 1.5 million acres out of the 19 million acre Refuge," or that oil exploration/seismic testing, etc., affects just 7% of the Refuge.
You know, no big deal.
These are wrong and disastrous simplifications. The ecological impact zones extend much farther than the road, subdivision or drill pad footprints, and will have a ripple effect on the entire ecosystem. Birth rates will decline and migration patterns will change for species like the Porcupine caribou, which the first people of the area¬ depend on for subsistence. The impacts will extend to global communities, as drilling in the Arctic will help worsen climate change while also sending a message that no place is off limits to resource extraction. Estimates indicate that if Arctic Refuge oil is extracted and burned, it would add climate warming emissions equivalent to 898 coal plants operating for a year or 776 million passenger vehicles added to the road.

Public Hearings to review the draft EIS began in Alaska on February 4, including stops in Fairbanks, Kaktovik, Utqiagvik and Fort Yukon. This past weekend, hearings took place in Arctic Village and Venetie and in Anchorage on Monday. In the lower 48, BLM held only one hearing, in Washington, D.C., disregarding national concerns. Human rights and environmental groups are rallying across the country to show their support. Nearly 200,000 public comments have already been collected, and counting.

"Removing protections from our country's largest wildlife refuge sets a dangerous precedent," said Wendy Hall, a wildlife educator and strong advocate for the Arctic Refuge and co-founder (along with her husband) of the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge (AWR) in upstate New York, in a separate interview. AWR recently collaborated with the Sierra Club for a community presentation called: "Protecting the Arctic Refuge and the Interconnections of Global Ecosystems."

During the presentation, Hall brought along some animal friends including Cara, a snowy owl hit by a bus who can no longer fly. Hall explained that snowy owls are included in the list of more than 200 species of migratory birds that call the Arctic Refuge home.
"Connecting the species to the issue helps in understanding the environmental threats facing wildlife," said Hall.

"Alterations or changes like climate affect the whole ecosystem and can negatively impact wildlife. What sense does it make to lessen protections and deplete vital habit? These animals need a refuge."
The Arctic Refuge represents the remaining 5 percent of Alaska's coastline protected from resource extraction, as 95 percent has already been opened to extractive industries. On a national scale, 90 percent of public lands in the U.S. have been open to oil and gas leasing. The point? We must protect our country's remaining wilderness and intact ecosystems.
"Drilling anywhere depletes vital habitat and threatens biodiversity, contributes to climate change, and puts vulnerable communities at risk," said Hall.
According to data from the Fourth National Climate Assessment, by 2035 the Northeast projects to be more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) warmer on average than preindustrial era temperatures. This would be the largest increase in the contiguous United States and would occur as much as two decades before global average temperatures reach a similar milestone.
"We need to take this data seriously. We need to implement responsible climate policies and phase out fossil fuel dependence," said Hall. "Drilling in our country's largest wildlife refuge is a tremendous step backward."

I started public speaking unprofessionally about 19yrs ago. Back then, I wanted to sound like those I listened to. I kept practicing until someone echoed, "You sound like Pastor Chris". At that point, though I was being referenced to an admirable model, I realized I had lost my identity. The more you blindly copy others the more the beauty of your gift, talent, business or essence diminishes. You become like the photocopy; a backup plan that may always be kept on the reserve bench as one with injuries.
Over the weekend, we hosted an event with my mentor in public speaking and I delivered as me. We gave participants an opportunity to compete and showcase their public speaking skills. My lines became a delightful repetition on their lips. Everyone left smiling, some snapping and others seeking my contact.
UnusualTeajay now has a unique professional and desirable identity. Learn from others but express that knowledge in the uniqueness of who you are. There is a sweetness that being you brings. No one else can be or do you.
Don't be afraid or ashamed of the outcome of being who you are. Your difference counts. It makes life a colorful reality. The world doesn't need two of the same person, that's why our fingerprints are different. People will reference you for the value the originality of your gift brings. The world awaits you. She has experienced others already. So, redefine, refine and release the new improved personality and the ingenuity you carry. #BeingAnOriginal is one sure way to #WinAgain.
I believe you can, you will and you MUST #WinToday!

A recent KPMG survey revealed customers would do almost anything to earn more rewards, yet many retailers may be missing the mark on customer loyalty programs. Retailers can redesign their customer loyalty programs to cater to what customers value the most —which isn't always cost savings.
An action plan toward this end includes establishing these four priorities: start with customer experience, use the data effectively, keep rewards fresh, and design a business model first. The starting point of a quality loyalty program begins with an accurate measurement of customer experience. Then, reliable data can be integrated not only within the loyalty program itself, but also throughout all business operations. By testing and personalizing different approaches to customer experiences, businesses can design loyalty programs that are fresh, flexible, and profitable.
For instance, businesses can consider offering surprise deals, special privileges, or time-saving opportunities to keep rewards programs flexible. Companies can also look to partnership opportunities like co-branded credit cards or supply-side cost reductions to counter operating costs associated with loyalty programs. Read more here.

If they closed me, I close them, don't bother looking at photo or description.
If there's no small photo, I close. It's not worth the hassle to request photos. A picture is worth 1000 words.
If it looks like I wouldn't like them, I close without reading anything.
If they look potentially interesting, I don't do anything (so they stay in the queue).
If I closed in the above action, I switch back to the original tab, because eHarmony is too slow in closing, and also it doesn't return you to the right place in your list if you go back. Once I'm done going through everyone, I close all the tabs, reload the main page, and get ready for the 2nd pass.
Now I'm on the second pass. All of the women left have passed the first sight test. Now I look at the photo details. I find it's very important for me that there's both a closeup face shot and a shot from father back so you can see what they look at. I include these in my profile. Without both, I close. If I don't like what I see (and this can be facial expressions, the context, as well as more normal attractiveness levels) I close without reading anything.
OK, finally, after doing the above step for everyone, the people who are left are worth reading about. In fact, at this point I only really feel the need to skim what they wrote because as I said, your character is written all over your face and the context of the photos. So I usually contact anyone who's made it this far.
So there you are. I do this in phases, because it's annoying to be really interested in someone, and then the next 5 people are horrible. So, I save myself the pain by going in passes and only increasing how much I care after I've eliminated the uninteresting people already. After all I need to manage my own sense of involvement or I'll just get tired of it.
I actually at one point wrote a pretty nifty greasemonkey script for firefox to add various close buttons at the top of the page to make it easier to close people. But it made me nervous. A couple of times I clicked the close button when I meant to click something else. Also, I just don't like Firefox – prefer Camino. So, no more of that.

Reality Check: Five Things to Watch for in the Peace Process Five Things to Watch for in the Peace...
Five Things to Watch for in the Peace Process
How to tell if John Kerry's efforts with the Israelis and the Palestinians are actually going anywhere.
By Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Mandel Ngan-Pool/Getty Images
There's a great deal we don't know (yet) about John Kerry's efforts to resume negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. What assurances did the United States provide the two sides; what commitments did they make to him; indeed, what are the terms for resumption of talks?
One thing we do know is that with Arabs and Israelis nothing happens quickly -- except failure. Arabs and Israelis have two speeds when it comes to negotiations: slow and slower. This is going to be a lengthy and complicated process. And so far the radio silence Kerry has maintained about the details of what he's doing is quite impressive.
There's a great deal we don't know (yet) about John Kerry's efforts to resume negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. What assurances did the United States provide the two sides; what commitments did they make to him; indeed, what are the terms for resumption of talks?
One thing we do know is that with Arabs and Israelis nothing happens quickly — except failure. Arabs and Israelis have two speeds when it comes to negotiations: slow and slower. This is going to be a lengthy and complicated process. And so far the radio silence Kerry has maintained about the details of what he's doing is quite impressive.
So how are we to know if this process is on the right track and won't become just another woulda/shoulda/coulda enterprise? Here are five things on the U.S. side that I'd be on the lookout for.
(1) Are there written terms of reference or letters of assurance?
Right now, the Kerry effort seems suspended somewhere between talks about talks and real negotiations. A bridge needs to be built to move from one to the other. And that bridge consists of the parameters or terms of reference — e.g., June 1967 borders, recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, demilitarization of a Palestinian state — that will guide the negotiations. Ideally, both sides would agree to them publicly and privately. That's clearly not possible here.
More likely, commitments on sensitive matters either have or will be made privately to Kerry as the repository of the parties' confidences or come in the form of assurances that the United States will provide each side in formal letters. In 1991, then-Secretary of State James Baker used letters of assurance effectively in enticing the parties to attend the Madrid peace conference.
But Madrid was about process not substance. If two months from now the Israelis and Palestinians are still fighting about these parameters or publicly disavowing the ones they've committed to privately, we'll know the effort is running in the wrong direction. Ambiguity is part of every diplomatic process, and 10 years ago it might have worked here, too. But this process has little credibility and a lack of clarity will kill it.
(2) Is there a negotiating text (and maps, too)?
Samuel Goldwyn, the Hollywood movie mogul, said it best: an oral agreement isn't worth the paper it's written on. You'll know this process is getting serious when the negotiators start writing things down. And a negotiating text — whether it's some kind of agenda, a framework agreement on several of the core issues, or what we used to call a FAPS (a Framework Agreement on Permanent Status) — is critical not just to an agreement, but to how the negotiations are organized.
It's too early to expect any common text to emerge. But without one sooner rather than later, even on the level of general principles, let alone an agreement embodying the universe of details, you might as well hang a "closed for the season" sign on this process and any hope for an agreement. That's true for maps perhaps more than any other single element — they are a critical sign of seriousness or lack of seriousness. If we're talking borders, then maps, particularly those presented by Israel, will become an early test of whether this is serious. No maps, no deal.
(3) Will there be U.S. bridging proposals?
It's too early for them yet. Kerry needs to let both sides engage directly. But he should know that, with the exception of the Israeli-Jordanian peace treaty, every other agreement that endured came not from direct talks only, but from U.S. mediation. Oslo, the poster child for direct talks, failed. At some point, what is now already obvious will become stunningly so: the gaps on the big issues cannot be bridged without U.S. intervention. Indeed, this time around there is even less ownership of the process by the Israelis and the Palestinians. Kerry is already the glue holding it together.
That means the United States will need to play a role in developing ideas and proposals designed to bridge the gap on the core issues. Look for our willingness and capacity to do that. If we're not up to it or if we're not prepared to be fair in the way we consider those proposals — and at the last serious attempt at mediation, the Camp David summit, we weren't, instead choosing to side with or acquiesce in Israeli views — these talks won't succeed.
(4) Is Kerry bringing on a special envoy?
He must. After six Middle East trips and hundreds of additional hours spent, the secretary of state already realizes he can't be the peace process Lone Ranger. Bringing Deputy Legal Advisor Jonathan Schwartz into the negotiations was probably the smartest staffing decision Kerry has made. John is not only a brilliant lawyer and wordsmith, but he also thinks a step or three ahead, anticipating in a cool and detached manner what Israeli and Palestinian needs and requirements are when it comes to the substance. My own sense that things were getting serious with Kerry went from 0 to 60 when I heard John was involved. Right now Schwartz is the only institutional memory Kerry has.
But it will take more than a brilliant lawyer to staff this up. The other data point to look for is a decision to bring in a special envoy. If these talks turn into negotiations, Kerry is going to need someone with negotiating experience in the Middle East, authority and stature. The negotiations will soon — if he's lucky — become all-consuming, a 24/7 process; and despite the talents of the secretary's Senate staff, Kerry will need a quarterback reporting to him directly to manage this, to travel when he can't, to deal with the Europeans and the Arabs, and to coordinate an interagency process that will involve CIA and DOD. That individual will have to be someone who knows the players personally and the issues. And this decision needs to be made and announced soon. One candidate who has been mentioned prominently in recent days is Martin Indyk, former U.S. ambassador to Israel.
(5) Will Obama get involved?
The short answer to this question is "yes" — if talks appear to have a chance to succeed. If not, this will remain John Kerry's peace process. This is not to say that the president won't agree to meet with the leaders, make phone calls, etc. But getting the president to commit to a full-court press — attendance at a high-level leaders' negotiating summit to close a deal — will depend on whether his secretary of state has brought the two sides to the point where the gaps between them can actually be closed. And we're a long way from that. But at the end of the day, the president, not John Kerry, will have to close this deal — and risk a fair amount of political capital in the process. Indeed, a deal will mean pushing both sides farther than they were prepared to go. And in the case of Israel, this could get particularly messy.
Can Kerry Succeed?
Predicting the outcome of the Kerry effort is a pointless exercise. My own analysis on the peace process has been annoyingly negative not because of ideology, bias, or career change. My sober assessment flows from my agreement with one of America's preeminent philosophers, Groucho Marx (or Harpo) in Duck Soup: Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes? I see what I see; and it's pretty tough to persuade me that a conflict-ending accord on all the big issues, including Jerusalem and refugees, is possible now.
That doesn't mean that agreement on borders and security isn't leading to provisional Palestinian statehood with commitments to negotiate the rest. But even that will take a heroic effort on the part of leaders who are more risk-averse politicians than great leaders. Can they do it anyway if pushed and supported by Kerry and Obama? We'll find out soon enough.

How is it that no matter how hard you try not to pick a scab… somehow, sometime, it gets caught on something. Maybe even in your sleep. It has been well guarded for days, maybe even weeks, but then out of nowhere there's a little piece sticking up. And it just keeps getting rubbed the wrong way, and irritated by the strangest of circumstances, until you're madly digging a dead piece of flesh off your body. Which wouldn't be so bad except that it was there for a reason, and trying to protect something that was healing underneath.
I couldn't tell you exactly what the scab was, or what was healing beneath it… but something caught a scab today, and I'm left with a strong desire to pull the rest of it off.
At the very least, it either needs to get cold and snow like a motha so I can play hockey, or it needs to warm up so I can enjoy the outdoors again. But I don't need any more of these pretty dang cold rainy days.

Record year as Enterprise Ventures completes 220 deals
Enterprise Ventures reported another record year in 2014, completing 220 deals with a combined value of £30m.
It brings the total invested by the Preston company in the past four years to over £100m. During that time it completed around 780 transactions – equivalent to four deals every working week. The figures highlight Enterprise Ventures' role in supporting small firms at a time when bank lending has continued to fall and many have witnessed unprecedented difficulties in accessing finance for growth.
According to an independent report compiled during the year, the majority of Enterprise Ventures' loans and investments have gone into the most deprived regions in the UK. The report by Big Issue Invest, the social investment arm of The Big Issue, shows that Enterprise Ventures is helping to create a more balanced economy by investing in the regions, concentrating on deprived areas and focusing on priority sectors, such as manufacturing and export.
Key deals during 2014 included a £2.5m investment in Winning Pitch, the coaching and business support specialist; a £750,000 investment in DataCentred, which is led by Telecity founder Dr Mike Kelly and is launching a series of datacentres in the North; and a significant investment in agrochemical business Redag Crop Protection, to allow its demerger from its parent company Redx Pharma. It also supported a £3.2m management buy-in at Modern Rugs in Newton Aycliffe, Co Durham.
2014 saw the flotation of three of Enterprise Ventures' portfolio companies – the Barnsley-based cleaning technology company Xeros Technology Group, Manchester-based Premaitha Health, and York-based Optibiotix Health.
Jonathan Diggines, chief executive of Enterprise Ventures, said: "The landscape for small business finance has changed for good. Although the economy is recovering, there is no sign of the banks returning to the market. Enterprise Ventures has been playing a key role in supporting small business growth and generating jobs and prosperity in deprived areas. "The recent Big Issue Invest report has outlined the important part that alternative finance providers can play in rebalancing the UK economy away from London. With devolution now on the agenda, the investment community will be fundamental in helping to realise the vision of a Northern powerhouse."

Spain was on Monday reprimanded by The European Commission which ordered the country to submit a new draft budget with lower deficit estimates to avoid violating the bloc's tough spending rules, a blow for the government ahead of Spanish elections.
The official warning from Brussels comes ahead of Spain's December 20th general election, in which the economy is expected to be a key issue for the conservative government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
The Commission, the EU's executive arm, said that Spain's draft budget for 2016 was "at risk of non-compliance" with rules brought in following the global financial crisis, adding that it "invites the national authorities to present an updated draft budgetary plan."
It added: "The Commission expects Spain's headline budgetary deficit to decrease to 4.5 percent this year and to 3.5 percent of GDP in 2016, not meeting the target for Spain to correct the excessive deficit by 2016."
Valdis Dombrovskis, EU vice president for the euro, said that Spain had made a "remarkable" turnaround from the crisis but that Madrid "has to stay the course of reforms and responsible fiscal policy."
Spain's Rajoy enjoys an absolute majority in parliament with his conservative Popular Party (PP), but opinion polls suggest support for the opposition Socialist Party is surging.
The country's two largest parties are also running scared after the emergence of the left-wing, anti-austerity party Podemos and the centrist Ciudadanos party.
A poll published by national newspaper El País on Sunday put Ciudadanos in third place behind the Socialists on 23.5 percent and the PP on 23.4 percent.put Ciudadanos behind the Socialists.
Podemos came fourth, attracting 14.1 percent of the vote among people surveyed.


What meals can I expect?
You don't need to bring your own food, except for any extra chocolate or snacks you might want to carry in your rucksack.
The organiser of the trip will find volunteers to do shopping and cooking for the group. We cook breakfast at the hostel in the morning, and make sandwiches for lunch. And in the evening someone will usually cook a meal for the group - typically a large pot of something simple but filling, such as spaghetti bolognese or curry. Everybody is expected to lend a hand with preparing food, washing up etc. Communal cooking is all part of the fun, and a chance to get to know people!
We can usually be flexible for vegetarians or special dietary needs, but please discuss in advance with the organiser, and help the cook preparing it.
Note that on evenings when we're travelling food will not be provided. You may need to buy a meal at a service station or chip shop, or bring your own supplies.


Information concerning the availability, use, and quality of water in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, is critical for proper water-supply management. The purpose of this fact sheet is to present information that can be used by water managers, parish residents, and others for stewardship of this vital resource. Information on the availability, past and current use, use trends, and water quality from groundwater and surface-water sources in the parish is presented. Previously published reports and data stored in the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System are the primary sources of the information presented here.
In 2010, over 50 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) of water were withdrawn in Concordia Parish, including about 28.7 Mgal/d from groundwater sources and 22.3 Mgal/d from surface-water sources. Withdrawals for agricultural use, composed of livestock, rice irrigation, general irrigation, and aquaculture accounted for about 77 percent (39.2 Mgal/d) of the total water withdrawn. Other categories of use included public supply, power generation, and rural domestic. Water-use data collected at 5-year intervals from 1960 to 2010 indicated that water withdrawals peaked in 2010.

FSC's second investigation concludes that there is no evidence of further violations of the FSC Policy for Association, specifically in relation to Holzindustrie Schweighofer's timber measurement methods in Romania.
Holzindustrie Schweighofer continues its unique security architecture in order to ensure and strengthen a sustainable timber industry in Romania.
Today, FSC published the final conditions framework – which is part of its roadmap process towards ending the disassociation with Schweighofer – as approved by the FSC Board of Directors. Holzindustrie Schweighofer will thoroughly review the paper. Until this analysis is complete, it would not be appropriate to comment on its content. Nonetheless, the company has in the past already stated its commitment to FSC, which will enable a constructive roadmap process towards ending the disassociation. Holzindustrie Schweighofer stands committed to do everything in its sphere of influence in order to ensure and strengthen a sustainable timber industry in Romania and to support the authorities in their fight against the phenomenon of illegal logging.
Correct timber measurement methods The second document published by FSC reflects the outcome of an in-depth investigation by independent experts regarding the question of Holzindustrie Schweighofer's timber measurement system in Romania. The panel did not find any indications of violations of FSC Policy for Association nor evidence of violations by Schweighofer of Romanian legislation and/or regulations in relation to timber measurement and classification.
Holzindustrie Schweighofer has established a unique security architecture in Romania, consisting of the wood tracking System Timflow with which the route of every truck transporting timber to Schweighofer mills can be transparently shown, enhanced due diligence teams and other measures. Overall, this security architecture by far exceeds the requirements of all applicable Romanian laws. Holzindustrie Schweighofer also maintains and strengthens its dialogue with stakeholders, NGOs and the public in Romania. As a responsible company, Holzindustrie Schweighofer is aware that it has to deliver best practice, not only concerning its business practices, but also in terms of sustainability.

America should NOT share interests with Israel
…not as long as Israel's racist zionism is the cornerstone of its relationships with other countries in the world, and especially America. Here's why. Suppose you are a faithful and conscientious employee for your boss and a client walks into the establishment where you work and upon knowing that your name is John Doe asks your boss not to have you deal with them because of your name and your ethnicity. You have done nothing wrong; your boss has no problems with your work record; you are fully observant of the rules and regulations of your job in every way down to attire and grooming, but it's just that sticky issue of your name and the color of your skin that irks your boss' client, and your boss agrees with his rather racist customer that you shouldn't deal with him and removes you from that task. When you demand to know why it is you were not able to help the rather bigoted client you are further punished by having your salary reduced by 60% and learn that everyone else with your Anglo-saxon like name and complexion has been similarly treated.
That's what happened to one Mohammed Arafi, pictured below, who worked for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, DC when an Israeli delegation came into town and stained the Nation's capital with their discriminatory noti ons of doing business. In their case, however, they didn't want to be served by Muslims such as Mr. Arafi and told his employers as much. Of course, Mr. Arafi complained and as a result was even more disciplined by his employer. Surely it must have occurred to the Mandarin that it was breaking the law by acceding to the Israelis' demands; however, they compounded an already bad situation by citing a national security directive from the State Department that seem to question Mr. Arafi's security clearance and barred him from being around the Israelis. Evidently the Israeli concern was not that Arafi was a physical danger to them, it was simply that he was Muslim……Arafi had been cleared to work around no less than a former President of the United States, George W. Bush weeks prior to the Israelis coming to town.
As an American citizen, Arafi has a right to legal redress, which he pursued and thankfully it landed in the lap of US District Court judge Barbara J. Rothstein, who didn't buy the line that Israel and America can discriminate against American citizens because of Israeli racism, nor did she accept the lame excuse that discrimination against Arafi was because of some made up national security issue, saying
the court determines that the national security exemption does not immunize Defendant (Mandarin Hotel) from liability as to Plaintiff's (Arafi) retaliation claim…….. Drawing all inferences in favor of Plaintiff, the court determines that Plaintiff has successfully alleged that he engaged in protected activity when he complained of discrimination…… the court determines that Plaintiff's complaint advances sufficient facts to support his racial discrimination claim.
What's troubling is that a foreign country's delegation can insist that an American institution break American law to serve the interests of that foreign power, and what's frightening is that many are all to willing to do so. However this has become a pattern in US/Israel relations, where the US, a pluralistic society is asked to give up a lot more than a racialist society like Israel in order to maintain relationships across a broad spectrum of activity. Israel has a history of a blatant disregard for the human rights of Arabs and Muslims within its ever expanding borders and has brought that legacy to the shores of America where the likes of Mohamed Arafi are its victims. Luckily for him and us, there are still some in American institutions, like Judge Rothstein pictured above, who believe in the ideals of racial equality that are the antithesis of the Israeli model. Whether Arafi will be successful in his law suit against his employer is not final yet and the ruling by judge Rothstein admittedly is both for and against the plaintiff but it's a powerful statement to make that racism will not be imposed in the American workplace even by such a strident "ally" as Israel.

Article – Science Magazine – What is Considered Normal Hydration May not Be Enough
blogteam January 7, 2023 Uncategorized
A recent article in Science showed that there was a wide variation in drinking habits in the world, and made the erroneous conclusion that this means that we can vary our hydration and do just fine. However, in response, a number of experts on hydration (including yours truly) pointed out that what is normal intake does not mean it is healthy intake (see link). Indeed, as many people may have heard, last week an article from the National Institute of Health reported that people whose hydration status is "in the normal range" as noted by measuring serum sodium (a marker of hydration status and salt intake) but on the higher end of normal are at marked risk for developing obesity, diabetes, accelerated aging, and increased mortality. Everyone, keep well hydrated!

Water Intake: What is Normal may not be What is Healthy
Yamada et al report daily water turnover (measured by double-labeled water) averaged about 4.3 L in young adult men and 3.4 L in young adult women, but with substantial variations, being higher in people living in hot climates, those with high lean body mass, and those who are pregnant, while lower in people with obesity and the elderly (1). While these data aid our understanding of normal water intake and turnover, the authors suggest this information means that drinking water guidelines should vary, and that the "common suggestion that we should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day (~2 liters) is not backed up by objective evidence."
Certainly water needs will vary among individuals, especially related to climate and exercise, but while these data may show what is normal water intake, this does not necessarily equate with what is healthy water intake. The majority of the population are "underhydrated" in which they maintain normal serum osmolality by raising vasopressin levels as opposed to drinking enough water (2, 3). Most obese people show signs of dehydration (by bioimpedance or urine osmolality) and elevated vasopressin levels (4). In turn, vasopressin has been shown to drive obesity and metabolic syndrome via its stimulation of the V1b receptor, and blocking vasopressin stimulation in animals with increased hydration can reverse hyperinsulinemia and stabilize or lower body fat (5). Underhydration is associated with increased risk for mortality (3), and even individuals with high normal serum sodium levels are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (6). Indeed, Yamada, observed an association of obesity with lower water turnover (1).
While the data by Yamada et al are important, we recommend clinical trials to determine the optimal hydration to prevent and treat obesity and metabolic diseases.

Woahink Lake is one of the Oregon Coast beautiful lakes offering you great water quality to swim in. Early in the year, this shallow coastal lake warms up quick. With good weather we may see water temperatures reaching into the 60s. Wetsuits are highly recommended and may be required depending on weather conditions.
The race starts at the East Woahink Lake boat ramp. Swimmers will be sent off in waves with a standing in water start and will swim 2, counter clockwise loops. Keep all buoys on your left until you arrive back at the dock. Exit up the ramp and return to the water for loop 2. At your second return to the ramp, head up and into the transition area.
As you leave the park you'll head east and explore the scenic back roads and foothills of the coastal range. The Olympic bike follows the sprint course for the first 9 miles before heading to a second out and back section. This course includes rolling hills and great views. This course has 1723ft of elevation gain. Check out the bike course videos below!
Duathlon starts here! Duathletes will be started in a time trial fashion on the bike when the first sprint triathlete exits the water, no later than 8:15am.
Turn by turn directions are available on the bike map.
You run begins with a cross county loop around East Woahink, before tucking into the trails of Honeyman State Park and weaving along the lakes and though the campground. Just after the 2 mile mark and the second aid station, you will take on a single track hill and head back to East Woahink. At transition, you will begin loop two. On your second loop at mile 5.4, you will head straight and cover the remaining 0.8 miles. A combination of grass, gravel and dirt trails, paved roads and even some sand make this a very fun two loop, point to point course.
Just when you think you're done, it is time for the epic and iconic finish up the dune at Cleawox Lake. The view is worth it, we promise!


We're currently in the process of re-establishing OGA's direction and w'eve been discussing how the project should exist on and offline and why.

We've not really been pushing the web site side of things recently as we've been trying to make the shift from web based out puts to more real world situations. We're attempting to make a tactical retreat from incessant posting online introducing viewers to the newest photographers but we will still be posting work, projects and news from the inbox that captures our imagination.
'How to document the world without sacrificing to take a position, my own, in this world?
My job is not to look at the world, but to find a way to be in it. I feel much more at home camouflaged and protected in the dark side of life. Getting ready on the side of hard drugs and pleasures disfigured, denying morality set by society.
