Dr. Bradley Gibson (BG): Thanks for giving me this opportunity. My primary research interest is Attention and Attentional control: how we prioritize information in order to process it without being overwhelmed by it. This is an executive function that helps each of us manage the tension between the outside environment and our self-directed preferences and goals. This is more complex than it sounds. For example, we must learn how to be focused on one task but be able to pay attention to the overall picture at the same time-you may be aware of Chandler's experiment on in attentional blindness.
AF: Yes, we posted about that experiment recently. Let's not talk too much about it, so readers can try it themselves here if they want. Now, tell us about the Attention Lab, we understand it is nicely multi-disciplinary.
BG: It is. We have 5 graduate students, and work together with Prof. Dawn Gondoli, who studies development psychology and socioemotional development. We want to bridge a number of domains to better explain the transition from childhood to adolescence. We are interested in how kids develop cognitive and executive functions. ADD/ ADHD is an extreme case where the normal development trajectory does not apply.
AF: Tell us about ADD/ ADHD and development trajectories.
BG: There is a very insightful study by Walter Mischel on pre-schoolers aged 4 and 5. Some of them had a better ability to control their attention and delay gratification (measured as the capacity not to immediately eat a marshmallow but to wait for a larger posterior reward), and those kids were shown, 14 years later, to be happier, have better overall school grades, score around 200 points higher in the SAT, and, when tested, display better executive functioning overall.
The study showed that there are individual differences at very young ages-and the important implications from this fact. Now, the part that I consider more exciting is that these differences are not fixed. Training is very important: attentional control is one of the last cognitive abilities to develop in normal brain development and, as Prof. Daniel Gopher's research has shown, can be trained at any age. What we are studying is how to help kids that for one reason or another start from a bad development trajectory get into a more positive one as quickly as possible. This is why we contacted Cogmed to conduct a small replication study of their Working Memory Training program. We wanted to see if we can enhance, accelerate, the development of working memory and executive functioning.
AF: we could see this as a "snowball" effect. If kids are well-equipped to engage in a number of demanding activities, they will, and will only get better at them. If they struggle with them, they will not participate, and not "exercise" those muscles so the gap will only grow. What did the replication study show?
BG: The "snowball" metaphor is a good one. The study we conducted was a small one and we did not have a control group, so it was not as rigorous as the original research conducted by Dr. Kingberg and the Karolinska Institute. However, the results were very positive. Even better than the original results. We saw that Cogmed working memory training led to cognitive improvements-increased verbal working memory and abstract reasoning (measured by Ravens)- and, more importantly, to the reduction in ADHD symptoms as measured both by parent and teacher ratings. The study has been accepted for presentation by the Society for Research in Child Development. I will present the results at their conference in Boston in March.
AF: Please send us the paper when ready. Now, working memory is a very important cognitive ability for all of us. What other applications can you envision for well-designed and structured working memory programs?
BG: I can easily see the relevance in 2 fields. One, professional sports. Two, military training. The Army's Build Better Soldier initiative is very interested in developing resistance and in cognitive enhancements. This would be a natural enhancement, free of secondary and unexpected side-effects of other interventions such as drugs and brain implants. We are right now conducting another study, this one focused on working memory training for healthy college students, to see if the intervention can also be relevant to non-ADD/ ADHD populations and could then be of interest for the Army.
AF: Professor Gibson, many thanks for being with us. You are doing a lot of interesting work, please keep up in the loop.
BG: the pleasure has been mine. I hope to talk to you soon.

Thanks for this post. I'm extremely interested in this program. What a wonderful thought — to be able to offer parents an effective treatment for ADHD that does not involve medicating their children. Exciting stuff!
Hi Alison, yes, this is very exciting…but it is not a treatment for ADHD. Kids with working memory deficits benefit from it, but not everyone with attention deficits needs this specific intervention. There is a screening upfront to identify who may benefit. And it is not a "treatment" because ADD/ ADHD may involve a number of problems and this approach doesn't claim to solve all.

Access to the Electronic Claims Table
ORIGINAL DATE OF ISSUE:
To define the process for gaining access to the claims table and the annual review process of claims table access.
Access to the Claims Table:
Policy FIN-TRE-VI-121 states all new activities must be approved by the Revenue Producing Activity Committee (RPAC) prior to accepting revenue. Existing activities with changes or expansions to business practices must be reviewed and approved before the changes are implemented. The RPAC will specify the appropriate revenue processing methods, such as point of sale (POS), Office of Conference and Event Registration Services (OCERS), Kuali Financial System (KFS) Accounts Receivable (AR), for the activity at the time approval is granted. If the RPAC specifies KFS AR or OCERS should be used by the new Revenue Producing Activity (RPA) and the RPA will not be processing pre-payments, access to the claims table will not be granted. If the activity needs to accept pre-payments or will not be using KFS AR or OCERS, Treasury will grant provisional claims table access to the activity's Fiscal Officer once Treasury has confirmed the Fiscal Officer (FO) has completed Revenue Processing Training.
If a new RPA has been approved to use KFS AR, Financial Management Services (FMS) Non-Student Accounts Receivable will follow-up with the RPA to ensure training is scheduled within 30 days of the approval. During that 30 day time period, Non-Student AR will claim funds on the RPA's behalf. It will be the RPA's responsibility to alert Non-Student AR of any anticipated payments during that time. After the RPA has had KFS AR training, a processing organization will continue to claim electronic funds transfer from the claims table on the RPAs behalf. This will ensure the payment is applied to the invoice correctly.
If the Committee approves the RPA for POS transactions or revenue collection methods outside of OCERS or KFS AR, Non-Student AR will conduct an Accounts Receivable System Review to determine whether or not the activity should be granted an exception to Policy FIN-ACC-I-490 . Non-Student AR will contact the RPA with instructions on how to begin the Accounts Receivable System Review process. If Non-Student AR determines an exception to Policy I-490 is warranted, Non-Student AR will issue a formal exception document to the RPA contact. If an exception to Policy I-490 is granted, a review will be conducted to determine if access to the Electronic Claims table is necessary.
If for any reason a department or pending RPA is expecting payment before an RPA review has been completed, the department will be instructed to notify Non-Student Accounts Receivable via email including the department's account and object code so AR can claim the payment to deposit into the department's account.
Access to the claims table is contingent on the following:
1. Adherence to University Policy DM-01: Management of Institutional Data. Violations to Policy DM-01 may result in revocation of access to the claims table. If an EFT user has not claimed anything within a twelve month period, Treasury will remove their access to the table.
2. The number of (anticipated) claims during the course of the fiscal year. Departments with fewer than 25 electronic payments in a fiscal year will be asked to contact Non-Student Accounts Receivable for claiming a payment.
For those that do not have access to the Electronic Claims Table, please email the following information to nonstdar@iu.edu for any anticipated payments needing to be claimed:
Payment remittance stub or notification (if available)
Customer/student name and/or number (if applicable)
Payee company name and contact
Invoice number, account number or any other relevant reference information
IU department name and contact
Review of Claims Table Access:
Per guidelines set forth in VI-120, face-to-face Revenue Processing Training must be completed on a biennial basis and is required for access to the claims table. Failure to complete required training will result in removal of access. Upon completion of required training, claims table access will be immediately reinstated.
A high-level review of the members of the role will be conducted on an annual basis.
Treasury must be notified to remove former employees from access to the claims table. If no activity occurs within one year, access to the claims table will be removed. In general, only two approved users per area may have access to the claims table, (i.e., the fiscal officer and one backup). Additional users may be granted access on a case-by-case basis as approved by Treasury and RPAC.
Electronic Funds Claim Table: A special KFS interface that allows users to claim electronic payments made to Indiana University.
Processing Organizations : Centralized units which process the lockbox payments and are responsible for applying payments.
Policy FIN-ACC-I-490: Non-Student (External) Accounts Receivable, Annual Write-Off Report
Policy FIN-TRE-VI-120: Processing Revenue
Policy FIN-TRE-VI-121: Establishing & Modifying Revenue Producing Activities (RPA)

Jim Collins (author of Good to Great) says the following, "Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline." How true this statement is. When it comes to your personal life, marriage, finances, kids, ministry, business or any number of other things, being great is a choice. It is not the cards you are dealt in life. We can choose to overcome those circumstances.


The 2018 World Cup produced many impactful, beautiful images, but there is one that rises high above the rest: a man – broken, weeping into his shirt – being comforted by another: strong, avuncular, in a fine-fitting waistcoat. It was taken after England beat Colombia on penalties to progress to the quarter-finals on 3 July. Having hugged and kissed his own players, manager Gareth Southgate made straight for the player whose miss had set up England's victory, took him tenderly in his arms and whispered words of consolation in his ear.
The moment was so strikingly tender that it sparked its own Twitter movement.
"#GarethSouthgateWould politely ask football if it wanted to come home first, then contact its parents and ask if it was OK" was one offering.
"#GarethSouthgateWould listen earnestly to all that Glenn Hoddle has to say" was another.
This was not just a random act of magnanimity, but one of heartfelt empathy. After all, the 47-year-old knows better than almost anyone how it feels to smite a nation's dreams. He did so himself as a player, when his penalty miss sent England out of the European Championship in 1996. Trafalgar Square was trashed in the hours after the match, the worst trouble London had seen since the Poll Tax riots.
So Southgate made amends the only way an English footballer can: by appearing in a soul-crushingly humiliating Pizza Hut advert, in which he wore a paper bag on his head and walked into a wall. Recently he revealed that, such was his pain over that night, he hadn't been able to listen to the song Three Lions since. Perhaps now he can.
When, 22 years later, England did finally win a World Cup penalty shoot-out, the nation stuck to the script. The internet was flooded with videos of fans screaming, throwing their pints in the air and smashing up emergency vehicles. It was a scene that contrasted sharply with Southgate's display of decency. That night, he showed a nation what it means to be a man in 2018.
"Gareth Southgate gives modern men permission to be both powerful and compassionate," says masculinity expert Kenny Mammarella-D'Cruz, also known as 'The Man Whisperer'.
Football is everywhere. It's in the cinema, in TV ad breaks, on Tube station platforms and in the newspapers. And as long as football has been in our lives, so has 'the football man'.
Hard-nosed, burning-breathed and occasionally psychotic, the football man was a tyrant of the technical area and – 'when all's said and done, Clive' – the only type of man you could trust to manage a football team.
Wouldn't you have loved Southgate to teach you your times tables? Sweet, soft-spoken and, by all accounts, unflappably nice, he is far from a fire-breathing ballbreaker with windmill arms and hairdryer lungs.
It's impossible to imagine Southgate saying that. Look at his Twitter feed and most of his tweets are him wishing people good luck or calling out The Daily Telegraph for suggesting netball makes girls fat. He's been with his wife Alison for more than 20 years, supports countless charities and even allows the ghost of a 17th-century thief named Robinson to freely roam the grounds of his North Yorkshire mansion.
During the tournament, players went bowling and played basketball, darts, pool and the ancient Indian sport of kabaddi; they went sightseeing in Saint Petersburg and spent time with their families. He even bought them inflatable unicorns to splash about on during cool-down sessions in the pool. It is impossible to imagine any previous England football boss allowing his young charges to playfully cavort atop rainbow-horned pool toys, let alone encourage them to do so.
Another Alan Smith, the one who played for Arsenal in the Nineties and whose memoir Heads Up (Constable), is out next month, has a different take.
One such teammate was Geoff Thomas, whom Southgate replaced as Palace captain in 1993. "He wasn't a shouter like me, but he wasn't scared of voicing his opinions when all the flak was flying around," he says.
He remembers Southgate as a team player to the core.
In Gareth Southgate, England – Britain, really – has found a leader it can look up to. Not only has he single-handedly saved the UK waistcoat industry, but he has also shown us the value of compassion, courtesy, dignity, graft and that most ridiculed of virtues: niceness. He has redefined not just how to be a manager, but how to be a man.
And that's why, when England eventually succumbed to Croatia in a World Cup semi-final that they seemed – for the first hour of the match – fully capable of winning, there were no histrionics. Southgate did not tear his waistcoat off in frustration.
Rather, he placed a reassuring arm around the shoulders of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. He hugged a teary-eyed Marcus Rashford, consoled a distraught Harry Kane, congratulated each and every one of the Croatian players, and embraced his wife (below right). And the 10,000 travelling England fans in the stadium – and many millions more in pubs and living rooms back home – reacted in kind. There were no boos, no hisses, no threats of violence towards players or manager. Instead, there was applause; heartfelt applause from football fans who had witnessed not just a moment of sporting history, but of human dignity.
For the man whose penalty miss sent England home at Euro '96, his redemption was complete. And while football may not have come home – as so many people had hoped and dreamed and chanted about for the duration of the tournament – the England manager brought back from Russia something perhaps more precious and rarer still: a sense of decency, of respect, of kindness and humility.

Inter-uni competition ends in success for DMU Dance
De Montfort University's dance society last week hosted its first-ever inter-uni dance competition which ended in great success.
Dance societies from four universities took part in the friendly inter-uni dance competition, organised by DMU's dance society, at the Venue in Leicester.
About 87 dancers from DMU, University of Westminster, Lincoln University, and from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, competed in 11 categories in this year's competition.
Bekki Mistri, the president of DMU's dance society, said: "We have been a society for 11 years and never hosted a competition like this.
"It's been a plan for the society for years to host our own competition. We've attended other university competitions and have always wanted to host our own, and I'm so proud that we actually did it and that I got to be a part of it all," she added.
DMU were placed first in beginners hip-hop, solo and in the wildcard category.

The best choreography was also awarded to DMU for its performance in the contemporary category, choreographed by Bethan Harrop.
The society's committee has been planning the competition since June last year but due to issues with the cost of the venue, the competition had to be put off for a while.
Miss Mistri said: "I think it's important for university societies to organise events like these as it gives members an opportunity to perform, compete, and support their society.
"It also builds confidence, creates a sense of inclusion and provides experiences that university tuition alone can't provide.
"I was definitely impressed with the quality of the dances from all universities, but what impressed me most was the team spirit.
"Everyone genuinely supported each other, so the atmosphere was friendly and enjoyable for everyone."

I look forward to working on this publication every quarter. When I was first assigned to the publication, the client was accustomed to working with a pre-designed template that didn't have room to tell the story in unique ways. I believed that each magazine issue should be as unique as Camphill Special School and its students are. I took a risk and provided the client with a design that was completely different from what she has ever seen in her history with Dean Design/Marketing Group. The transformation from "newsletter" to "magazine" struck a chord. One staff member told me that the piece brought her to tears. This is the stuff I live for.


The following action research study is focused on the effectiveness of the transition to work programs for students with a diagnosis of autism. The research was conducted in a middle-sized school district in Southern California. The study identified graduates from high school who were part of the transition work programs before receiving their certificate of completion or high school diploma. The objective of the study was to establish if the students were employed and to determine the effectiveness of the transition to work program. This qualitative study used surveys and interviews of the graduate students, the students' parents or legal guardians, and the students' previous employers. The researcher obtained information about the effectiveness of the transition work program in relation to the specific training provided by the program in the areas of social skills, knowledge of expectations, sequencing steps of a task and carryout steps until completion, and the ability to ask question when needed.
The National Organization on Disability found that "Despite research documenting the benefit of community-based employment, the vast majority of people with ASD continued to be unemployed" (National Organization on Disability, 2004; Wagner et al., 2005). A study of 187 young adults with Autism (mean age 2.5) revealed that only one fourth was employed (Kobayashi & Murata, 1992; Mawhood, Howlin, & Rutter, 2000). The results of a related study found that among 19 men with Autism, only 1 was competitively employed and 3 worked in sheltered or voluntary jobs" (Hendricks & Wehman 2009).

I recognize Heroes Academy is different than my current school. How do I know if it's the right fit for us?
Each family is unique, though there are some similarities we've seen between the families who are happiest and most successful in this model. Check out the list here.
We encourage families to be intentional about their decision to apply to Heroes Academy! Please read our site and other materials, watch books, and participate in a couple events.
What grades do you offer?
For the 2019-20 year, Heroes Academy enrolls young people ages 5 (kindergarten) through 11 (6th grade).
We will be opening Middle and High School studios in 2020 and 2023 respectively.
What is your calendar and daily schedule?
Heroes Academy begins at 8:30 am each day (drop-off starting at 8:00 am) and finishes at 3:15 pm.
We operate on an 11-month calendar, but our flexible program allows families to travel together during the year, without sacrificing any learning.
The school calendar is based on a series of 5- to 6-week project sprints called "Quests", each with a theme – like Rockets, Robots, Medical Biology, or Detective Chemistry. Each Quest is a grand adventure, culmintating in a high-stakes public Exhibition for family and friends.
Seven 5- to 6-week sessions, followed by 1 to 2 weeks off to refuel and for holidays, make up the school year.
What do you mean by "a hero's journey"?
We believe that each of us has a special calling in life, and a series of trials and tests that must be faced with integrity and purpose in order to live a satisfying and fulfilled life. Our mission is to prepare your child for his or her special journey.
Will children be grouped together by grades?
We believe that children learn best when working with children younger and older than themselves rather than split up into groups based solely on age. In addition to individualized curriculum, all ages of students work together in groups.
What kind of learner thrives at Heroes Academy?
Kids who love to learn, are curious, self-motivated, and respectful. Our environment is an accelerator for the independent learner who can tackle challenging questions, follow instructions, and solve problems.

What resources do you have for kids with special learning needs?
We take our commitment seriously when we promise to deliver a transformative education experience for young people at Heroes Academy. Since we are a small school, we make sure that we have the resources necessary to keep this promise for each family that joins us. Currently we have had success with young people who experience ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and some minor forms of autism. We are not currently equipped to serve young people with other specific learning needs.
Is Heroes Academy a Montessori school?
We respect and incorporate Maria Montessori's philosophy but, we are not a Montessori school. We also use the latest interactive technologies, hands on projects and the Socratic Method for discussions.
What do you mean by "every child can change the world"?
We believe each of our students will find a passion — something they love and have a gift to do. They will use this gift to serve others and fulfill a need they are passionate about in the world. This may be by becoming a shoe-shiner who tells stories and makes people's day just by doing his job with love and vigor; it may be by becoming a coach who sees the light in a child's eyes and guides her to pursue a dream; it may be by becoming a father or mother who leads a family on a Hero's Journey; it may be becoming an entrepreneur or business leader guided by compassion and integrity; or it may be by becoming an artist or writer who brings beauty to people's lives.

Home/canada/Toronto restaurant owner was arrested for allegedly violating public health orders
Toronto restaurant owner was arrested for allegedly violating public health orders
canada November 27, 2020 canada Comments Off on Toronto restaurant owner was arrested for allegedly violating public health orders
Adam Skelly, who owns Adamson Barbecue, is charged with every attempt to obstruct the police, engage in mischief, disobey a standing order, and not leave when reported.
The restaurant was seized by the Toronto Police Service early this morning, the locks were replaced and all persons barred from accessing the property, Toronto Police Superintendent Dom Sinopoli said in a news conference late Thursday.
Toronto kicked off a four-week lockdown this week amid an exponential rise in Covid-19 cases and as ICUs were nearly full. All restaurants, non-essential stores, salons and gyms are ordered closed. And on Thursday, the Toronto mayor told CNN that he did not rule out an extension of the lockdown until Christmas and New Year.
Sinopoli said that "the owner (Skelly) was given some leeway to access the rear compartment of that building." On entering the back of the building, Skelly broke through the plasterboard, entered the restaurant, and damaged the locks made throughout the city, Sinopoli said.
CNN partner CBC previously reported that Skelly was charged on Wednesday with nine charges, including violating in-house dining rules, holding an illegal meeting and running a business without a license.
Sinopoli also spoke of the large gathering of protesters with "different views" around the restaurant, which was very noisy and "very anti-police at times." Another man was arrested in the protest and charged with one count of obstructing the police, six counts of assaulting a police officer, including spitting at the officer, two counts of making a death threat, and one count of failing to comply of an ongoing command, Sinopoli said.
Both Skelly and this man will appear in court on Friday for bail by the 23rd Division, Sinopoli said.
Skelly has received a debt note and another will be posted in the restaurant, preventing anyone from accessing the building and adjacent parking lot, Sinopoli said. Toronto Public Health has commissioned the entire property, Sinopoli said.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said he believes Skelly is making a political statement.
"He had a lot of the anti-masks there," Tory told CNN's Erica Hill Thursday morning on "New Day".
"It was like it was a festival they had to try to celebrate some of their unorthodox views."
"But I think the vast majority of people will not accept that. They are doing their best to make the sacrifices that are horrible in some cases to ensure that we can all get well," said Tory, adding that he believes that Skelly will. "Heavy fines are imposed" if convicted.
CNN has not been able to identify a lawyer representing Skelly.

Here is some information on how Org mode supports CSS style-sheets.
Since my Org mode export includes source code fragments, I would like them to be displayed in a nice programming fixed-width font which should be available on many machines. (Any recommendations btw?)
Which is the tag I need to modify to get the source code
exported in a different font?
Here is how the source code is displayed in the HTML documents. The font does not look nice for source code.

EDIT: Here is the auto-generated HTML corresponding to the python code above.

# More comments here
  def add(a,b):
      return a+b

  def main():
      print "Hello World" # This is a comment
      print add(6,7)
      <<assign_abc>>

Here is the stylesheet which Org automatically inserts at the beginning of the generated HTML file. It is based on the default settings and the settings in the .css file I showed above.

Merkel's party wants dual nationality rule scrapped
Wed, Dec 07, 2016 - 10:19 PM
Chancellor Angela Merkel's party Wednesday toughened its stance on immigration and integration, demanding that dual nationality be scrapped for German-born children of foreigners and calling for a partial ban on the Muslim full-face veil.
[ESSEN, Germany] Chancellor Angela Merkel's party Wednesday toughened its stance on immigration and integration, demanding that dual nationality be scrapped for German-born children of foreigners and calling for a partial ban on the Muslim full-face veil.
The hardline measures set the party on a collision course with its junior coalition partner Social Democrats (SPD) ahead of elections next year, and underlined the challenges faced by Merkel to rein in the more conservative wing of her party.
Ms Merkel herself had on Tuesday voiced her backing for a prohibition against the niqab or burqa "wherever it is legally possible", before the leadership of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) voted on the issue on Wednesday.
The party has also proposed to ease the deportation process for rejected asylum-seekers.
But some in her party sought to go further, with the youth wing defying the leadership and winning a vote for a dual nationality rule to be reversed.
German growth slows sharply in 2019 as trade disputes bite
Allowing dual nationality was a key demand of the SPD during negotiations with Ms Merkel's conservatives after the last elections in 2013 that resulted in a hard-fought deal on teaming up in a left-right government.
The move mainly affects Turkish migrants, many of whom had come to Germany in the 1960s and 1970s to work but have stayed on and started families here.
Before 2014, their children had to give up either their parents' citizenship or their German one by the age of 23.
European Union citizens are already permitted to hold both German citizenship and that of their country of origin.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere warned during a heated debate on the dual nationality motion that it would be wrong to tear up a compromise with its governing partner.
"We don't want to reverse that," he said, adding that it was also a blow for children of foreign origin at a time when the country is struggling with integration issues.
No other party would back such a motion, warned Mr de Maiziere, whose separate proposal for jihadists to be stripped of their German nationalities was also approved by the congress.
But party delegates voted narrowly, with 319 votes in favour and 300 against, to scrap the compromise.
The decision quickly drew a rebuke from the SPD, with Justice Minister Heiko Maas saying that reversing the rule "would be a step backwards for integration".
SPD vice-chair Aydan Ozoguz accused the CDU of attacking "an important integration success".
Given the lack of backing for it from other parties, the measure is unlikely to be ever implemented.
Likewise, the call for a partial ban on the burqa is unlikely to become law as it would run into a constitutional legal tangle.
But they send a potent signal ahead of the general elections expected next September as the party seeks to win back supporters clawed away by the populist and anti-migrant AfD.
In that spirit, the CDU on Wednesday also called for migrants who are due to be deported to be taken into custody a few weeks before their departure rather than a few days ahead.
Those who make false identity declarations should have their application for asylum rejected immediately.
Deriding the centre-right party's decisions, SPD parliamentary group chief Thomas Oppermann said: "The chancellor asked the party for help (in her re-election bid) and instead got knocked between the legs".

How one lingers about a fire under such circumstances, loath to leave it, poking up the sticks, throwing in the burnt ends, adding another branch and yet another, and looking back as he turns to go to catch one more glimpse of the smoke going up through the trees! I reckon it is some remnant of the primitive man, which we all carry about with us. He has not yet forgotten his wild, free life, his arboreal habitations, and the sweet-bitter times he had in those long-gone ages. With me, he wakes up directly at the smell of smoke, of burning branches in the open air; and all his old love of fire and his dependence upon it, in the camp or the cave, come freshly to mind.

B.C.'s capital has chosen to end its relationship with a statue of John A. Macdonald that was removed from the public arena years ago.
Council on Thursday unanimously approved returning the statue to the John A. Macdonald Historical Society after the group made the request this summer.
The statue of the one-time Victoria MP was removed from its place outside city hall in 2018 in an act of reconciliation as it was placed there in the 1980s without any consultation. Mayor Lisa Helps said the society signalled that it wanted to honour the process of reconciliation.
"The country has entered a new era of reckoning with its history. Canadians are gaining a deeper understanding of our history, including wider spread knowledge of the attempted cultural genocide of Indigenous Peoples through the residential school system," a motion on the removal stated.
The motion noted Macdonald was one of the figures responsible for the residential school system. His government introduced the residential school system in 1883 and he's known for defending it in order to "take the Indian out of the child." Macdonald also made countless abhorrent statements about other racial and ethnic groups, and implemented a number of discriminatory policies against them.
Several councillors spoke about the city and society learning a more fulsome history of the country's first prime minister.
Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe quoted several racist, disparaging and factually incorrect comments MacDonald made about people of Chinese descent in the House of Commons.
"I think blindly honouring the individual is not an appropriate way to commemorate that period of Canada's past," Coun. Ben Isitt said.
The city, the historical society and local First Nations held conversations on the issue before drafting recommendations on its return. The statue and its plinth will be returned to the society's storage facility in Ladner with funds from the city's contingency budget.
According to the passed motion, the society will not permit the sculpture to be displayed on Vancouver Island without the expressed approval of the local First Nation or Nations on whose territory the statue would stand. The motion noted the society's intention is to safeguard the statue and not seek a place of public display.
If the society allows the public display of the statue in the future, it will use its best efforts to include the fullest possible educational and contextual information concerning Macdonald, his time, his policies and their consequences, the motion stated.

Pressure off Derbyshire for Vitality Blast quarter-final says Alex Hughes
Alex Hughes of Derbyshire
Published: 10:54 Updated: 15:31 Thursday 05 September 2019
Alex Hughes believes there will be less pressure on Derbyshire when they take on Gloucestershire in Saturday's Vitality Blast quarter-final at Bristol.
The Falcons reached the knockout stages in 2017 when Hughes was one of six members of the current side who were thrashed by a Shahid Afridi-inspired Hampshire at the Pattonair County Ground in Derby.
Derbyshire are the only county not to have made T20 Finals Day, a statistic Hughes admits may have weighed heavily on them two years ago.
"As a team we are growing as to where we are now compared to where we were in 2017," he said.
"The quarter-final then was a big surprise but now we've got there twice in three years it doesn't feel like this is our only chance to get to Finals Day which it may have done at the time.
"Now we've shown we are one of the best teams in our group, I don't think there is as much pressure on us to feel that way. I think it's more about enjoying the experience and enjoying the fact we can get to a Finals Day.
"If it doesn't happen life will still go on and we'll just look to go one better next year or the year after, it's not going to be the end of the world whereas in the Hampshire game it felt like this was the time and maybe we put a bit too much pressure on ourselves."
Hughes' bowling in the middle overs has been an important ingredient of the Falcons' success in the closing North Group games with stand-out figures of three for 13 in the victory against Northants which was the first of a hat-trick of wins that secured a quarter-final berth.
That comprehensive win over the Steelbacks demonstrated the character in the team after they had been soundly beaten by Leicestershire Foxes in the previous home game.
"I think everything happens for a reason and we took our eye of the ball for that Leicester chase, it was one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong," he said.
"It was disappointing but in terms of performance I personally didn't look a lot into it. It was a one-off bad game and I had no question in my mind in the next game we would right those wrongs."
The Falcons have momentum going into Saturday's game but Hughes is aware that Gloucestershire are also on a good run after ending the group stages with three consecutive wins.
"The fact that everyone wants to get to Finals Day is discussed quite a lot but they will really want to get there as well," he said.

"Everyone keeps writing them off which is what everyone has been doing to us so we know the dangers of that.
"They came second in their group for a reason, we have to play them on their home patch so it's going to be a good challenge."
Hughes has good memories of Bristol and scored a century there in the Specsavers County Championship match at the start of the season.
"I really like playing there, I've got a couple of hundreds in the red ball and been involved in a couple of wins there and it's a ground that's pretty similar to Derby.
"Not sure what the pitch is going to be like but throughout the year we've played on different surfaces so I'm not really too fussed. I think we've got enough bowling in all departments for all surfaces which is why we've got to the quarter-finals."

Cannabinoids are a class of diverse chemical compounds that activate cannabinoid receptors on cells that repress neurotransmitter release in the brain. These receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally in the body by humans and animals), the phytocannabinoids (found in cannabis and some other plants), and synthetic cannabinoids (produced chemically by humans). The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound of cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another major constituent of the plant, representing up to 40% in its extracts. There are at least 85 different cannabinoids isolated from cannabis, exhibiting varied effects.
Synthetic cannabinoids encompass a variety of distinct chemical classes: the classical cannabinoids structurally related to THC, the nonclassical cannabinoids (cannabimimetics) including the aminoalkylindoles, 1,5-diarylpyrazoles, quinolines, and arylsulphonamides, as well as eicosanoids related to the endocannabinoids.
Before the 1980s, it was often speculated that cannabinoids produced their physiological and behavioral effects via nonspecific interaction with cell membranes, instead of interacting with specific membrane-bound receptors. The discovery of the first cannabinoid receptors in the 1980s helped to resolve this debate. These receptors are common in animals, and have been found in mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. At present, there are two known types of cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2, with mounting evidence of more. The human brain has more cannabinoid receptors than any other G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) type.
CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain, to be specific in the basal ganglia and in the limbic system, including the hippocampus. They are also found in the cerebellum and in both male and female reproductive systems. CB1 receptors are absent in the medulla oblongata, the part of the brain stem responsible for respiratory and cardiovascular functions. Thus, there is not the risk of respiratory or cardiovascular failure that can be produced by some drugs. CB1 receptors appear to be responsible for the euphoric and anticonvulsive effects of cannabis.
CB2 receptors are predominantly found in the immune system, or immune-derived cells with the greatest density in the spleen. While found only in the peripheral nervous system, a report does indicate that CB2 is expressed by a subpopulation of microglia in the human cerebellum . CB2 receptors appear to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and possibly other therapeutic effects of cannabis.
Phytocannabinoids (also called natural cannabinoids, herbal cannabinoids, and classical cannabinoids) are known to occur in several different plant species. These include Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, Cannabis ruderalis, Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida, Acmella oleracea, Helichrysum umbraculigerum, and Radula marginata. The best known herbal cannabinoids are Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from Cannabis and the lipophilic alkamides (alkylamides) from Echinacea species.
At least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the Cannabis plant and 25 different cannabinoids from Echinacea species. In Cannabis, these cannabinoids are concentrated in a viscous resin produced in structures known as glandular trichomes. In Echinacea species, cannabinoids are found throughout the plant structure, but are most concentrated in the roots and stems. Tea (Camellia sinensis) catechins have an affinity for human cannabinoid receptors.
Phytocannabinoids are nearly insoluble in water but are soluble in lipids, alcohols, and other non-polar organic solvents. However, as phenols, they form more water-soluble phenolate salts under strongly alkaline conditions.
All-natural cannabinoids are derived from their respective 2-carboxylic acids (2-COOH) by decarboxylation (catalyzed by heat, light, or alkaline conditions).
To the right, the main classes of cannabinoids from Cannabis are shown. All classes derive from cannabigerol-type compounds and differ mainly in the way this precursor is cyclized.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN) (derived from Cannabis); and dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic-acid-isobutylamides (the main bioactive constituents from Echinacea species) are the most prevalent natural cannabinoids and have received the most study.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive component of the Cannabis plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC, THC) and delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC), mimic the action of anandamide, a neurotransmitter produced naturally in the body. These two THC's produce the effects associated with cannabis by binding to the CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the brain. THC appears to ease moderate pain (analgesic) and to be neuroprotective. Studies show THC reduces neuroinflammation and stimulates neurogenesis. THC has approximately equal affinity for the CB1 and CB2 receptors.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is not psychoactive, and was thought not to affect the psychoactivity of THC. However, recent evidence shows that smokers of cannabis with a higher CBD/THC ratio were less likely to experience schizophrenia-like symptoms. This is supported by psychological tests, in which participants experience less intense psychotic-like effects when intravenous THC was co-administered with CBD (as measured with a PANSS test). Cannabidiol has little affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonists. Recently it was found to be an antagonist at the putative new cannabinoid receptor, GPR55, a GPCR expressed in the caudate nucleus and putamen. Cannabidiol has also been shown to act as a 5-HT1A receptor agonist, an action that is involved in its antidepressant, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective effects.
It appears to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea. CBD has a greater affinity for the CB2 receptor than for the CB1 receptor.
CBD shares a precursor with THC and is the main cannabinoid in low-THC Cannabis strains. CBD apparently plays a role in preventing the short-term memory loss associated with THC in mammals.
Some research suggests that the antipsychotic effects of cannabidiol potentially represent a novel mechanism in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Researchers at California Pacific Medical Center discovered CBD's ability to "turn off" the activity of ID1, the gene responsible for metastasis in breast and other types of cancers, including the particularly aggressive triple negative breast cancer. The researchers hope to start human trials soon.
Cannabinol (CBN) is the primary product of THC degradation, and there is usually little of it in a fresh plant. CBN content increases as THC degrades in storage, and with exposure to light and air. It is only mildly psychoactive. Its affinity to the CB2 receptor is higher than for the CB1 receptor.
Cannabigerol (CBG) is non-psychotomimetic but still affects the overall effects of Cannabis. It acts as an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, and CB1 receptor antagonist. It also binds to the CB2 receptor.
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is prevalent in certain central Asian and southern African strains of Cannabis. It is an antagonist of THC at CB1 receptors and attenuates the psychoactive effects of THC.
Although cannabidivarin (CBDV) is usually a minor constituent of the cannabinoid profile, enhanced levels of CBDV have been reported in feral cannabis plants from the northwest Himalayas, and in hashish from Nepal.
Cannabichromene (CBC) is non-psychoactive and does not affect the psychoactivity of THC .
In addition, each of the compounds above may be in different forms depending on the position of the double bond in the alicyclic carbon ring. There is potential for confusion because there are different numbering systems used to describe the position of this double bond. Under the dibenzopyran numbering system widely used today, the major form of THC is called Δ9-THC, while the minor form is called Δ8-THC. Under the alternate terpene numbering system, these same compounds are called Δ1-THC and Δ6-THC, respectively.
Most herbal cannabinoid compounds are 21-carbon compounds. However, some do not follow this rule, primarily because of variation in the length of the side-chain attached to the aromatic ring. In THC, CBD, and CBN, this side-chain is a pentyl (5-carbon) chain. In the most common homologue, the pentyl chain is replaced with a propyl (3-carbon) chain. Cannabinoids with the propyl side-chain are named using the suffix varin, and are designated, for example, THCV, CBDV, or CBNV.
Cannabis plants can exhibit wide variation in the quantity and type of cannabinoids they produce. The mixture of cannabinoids produced by a plant is known as the plant's cannabinoid profile. Selective breeding has been used to control the genetics of plants and modify the cannabinoid profile. For example, strains that are used as fiber (commonly called hemp) are bred such that they are low in psychoactive chemicals like THC. Strains used in medicine are often bred for high CBD content, and strains used for recreational purposes are usually bred for high THC content or for a specific chemical balance.
Quantitative analysis of a plant's cannabinoid profile is often determined by gas chromatography (GC), or more reliably by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Liquid chromatography (LC) techniques are also possible, and, unlike GC methods, can differentiate between the acid and neutral forms of the cannabinoids. There have been systematic attempts to monitor the cannabinoid profile of cannabis over time, but their accuracy is impeded by the illegal status of the plant in many countries.
Cannabinoids can be administered by smoking, vaporizing, oral ingestion, transdermal patch, intravenous injection, sublingual absorption, or rectal suppository. Once in the body, most cannabinoids are metabolized in the liver, especially by cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidases, mainly CYP 2C9. Thus supplementing with CYP 2C9 inhibitors leads to extended intoxication.
Some is also stored in fat in addition to being metabolized in liver. Δ9-THC is metabolized to 11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC, which is then metabolized to 9-carboxy-THC. Some cannabis metabolites can be detected in the body several weeks after administration. These metabolites are the chemicals recognized by common antibody-based "drug tests"; in the case of THC et al., these loads do not represent intoxication (compare to ethanol breath tests that measure instantaneous blood alcohol levels) but an integration of past consumption over an approximately month-long window.
Cannabinoid production starts when an enzyme causes geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid to combine and form CBG. Next, CBG is independently converted to either CBD or CBC by two separate synthase enzymes. CBD is then enzymatically cyclized to THC. For the propyl homologues (THCV, CBDV and CBNV), there is a similar pathway that is based on CBGV. Recent studies[which?] show that THC is not cyclized from CBD but rather directly from CBG. No experiment thus far has turned up an enzyme that converts CBD into THC, although it is still hypothesized[by whom?].
Cannabinoids can be separated from the plant by extraction with organic solvents. Hydrocarbons and alcohols are often used as solvents. However, these solvents are flammable and many are toxic. Butane may be used, which evaporates extremely quickly. Supercritical solvent extraction with carbon dioxide is an alternative technique. Although this process requires high pressures (73 atmospheres or more), there is minimal risk of fire or toxicity, solvent removal is simple and efficient, and extract quality can be well controlled. Once extracted, cannabinoid blends can be separated into individual components using wiped film vacuum distillation or other distillation techniques. However, to produce high-purity cannabinoids, chemical synthesis or semisynthesis is generally required.
Cannabis indica may have a CBD:THC ratio 4–5 times that of Cannabis sativa.
Cannabinoids were first discovered in the 1940s, when CBD and CBN were identified. The structure of THC was first determined in 1964.
Due to molecular similarity and ease of synthetic conversion, CBD was originally believed to be a natural precursor to THC. However, it is now known that CBD and THC are produced independently in the cannabis plant from the precursor CBG.
For more details on the roles and regulation of the endocannabinoids, see Endocannabinoid system.
Endocannabinoids are substances produced from within the body that activate cannabinoid receptors. After the discovery of the first cannabinoid receptor in 1988, scientists began searching for an endogenous ligand for the receptor.
In 1992, in Raphael Mechoulam's lab, the first such compound was identified as arachidonoyl ethanolamine and named anandamide, a name derived from the Sanskrit word for bliss and -amide. Anandamide is derived from the essential fatty acid arachidonic acid. It has a pharmacology similar to THC, although its chemical structure is different. Anandamide binds to the central (CB1) and, to a lesser extent, peripheral (CB2) cannabinoid receptors, where it acts as a partial agonist. Anandamide is about as potent as THC at the CB1 receptor. Anandamide is found in nearly all tissues in a wide range of animals. Anandamide has also been found in plants, including small amounts in chocolate.
Two analogs of anandamide, 7,10,13,16-docosatetraenoylethanolamide and homo-γ-linolenoylethanolamine, have similar pharmacology. All of these are members of a family of signalling lipids called N-acylethanolamines, which also includes the noncannabimimetic palmitoylethanolamide and oleoylethanolamide, which possess anti-inflammatory and orexigenic effects, respectively. Many N-acylethanolamines have also been identified in plant seeds and in molluscs.
Another endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol, binds to both the CB1 and CB2 receptors with similar affinity, acting as a full agonist at both. 2-AG is present at significantly higher concentrations in the brain than anandamide, and there is some controversy over whether 2-AG rather than anandamide is chiefly responsible for endocannabinoid signalling in vivo. In particular, one in vitro study suggests that 2-AG is capable of stimulating higher G-protein activation than anandamide, although the physiological implications of this finding are not yet known.
In 2001, a third, ether-type endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonyl glyceryl ether (noladin ether), was isolated from porcine brain. Prior to this discovery, it had been synthesized as a stable analog of 2-AG; indeed, some controversy remains over its classification as an endocannabinoid, as another group failed to detect the substance at "any appreciable amount" in the brains of several different mammalian species. It binds to the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (Ki = 21.2 nmol/L) and causes sedation, hypothermia, intestinal immobility, and mild antinociception in mice. It binds primarily to the CB1 receptor, and only weakly to the CB2 receptor.
Discovered in 2000, NADA preferentially binds to the CB1 receptor. Like anandamide, NADA is also an agonist for the vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (TRPV1), a member of the vanilloid receptor family.
A fifth endocannabinoid, virodhamine, or O-arachidonoyl-ethanolamine (OAE), was discovered in June 2002. Although it is a full agonist at CB2 and a partial agonist at CB1, it behaves as a CB1 antagonist in vivo. In rats, virodhamine was found to be present at comparable or slightly lower concentrations than anandamide in the brain, but 2- to 9-fold higher concentrations peripherally.
Recent evidence has highlighted LPI as the endogenous ligand to novel endocannabinoid receptor GPR55, making it a strong contender as the sixth endocannabinoid.
Endocannabinoids serve as intercellular 'lipid messengers', signaling molecules that are released from one cell and activating the cannabinoid receptors present on other nearby cells. Although in this intercellular signaling role they are similar to the well-known monoamine neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine and dopamine, endocannabinoids differ in numerous ways from them. For instance, they are used in retrograde signaling between neurons. Furthermore, endocannabinoids are lipophilic molecules that are not very soluble in water. They are not stored in vesicles, and exist as integral constituents of the membrane bilayers that make up cells. They are believed to be synthesized 'on-demand' rather than made and stored for later use. The mechanisms and enzymes underlying the biosynthesis of endocannabinoids remain elusive and continue to be an area of active research.
The endocannabinoid 2-AG has been found in bovine and human maternal milk.
Conventional neurotransmitters are released from a 'presynaptic' cell and activate appropriate receptors on a 'postsynaptic' cell, where presynaptic and postsynaptic designate the sending and receiving sides of a synapse, respectively. Endocannabinoids, on the other hand, are described as retrograde transmitters because they most commonly travel 'backward' against the usual synaptic transmitter flow. They are, in effect, released from the postsynaptic cell and act on the presynaptic cell, where the target receptors are densely concentrated on axonal terminals in the zones from which conventional neurotransmitters are released. Activation of cannabinoid receptors temporarily reduces the amount of conventional neurotransmitter released. This endocannabinoid mediated system permits the postsynaptic cell to control its own incoming synaptic traffic. The ultimate effect on the endocannabinoid-releasing cell depends on the nature of the conventional transmitter being controlled. For instance, when the release of the inhibitory transmitter GABA is reduced, the net effect is an increase in the excitability of the endocannabinoid-releasing cell. On the converse, when release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate is reduced, the net effect is a decrease in the excitability of the endocannabinoid-releasing cell.
Endocannabinoids are hydrophobic molecules. They cannot travel unaided for long distances in the aqueous medium surrounding the cells from which they are released, and therefore act locally on nearby target cells. Hence, although emanating diffusely from their source cells, they have much more restricted spheres of influence than do hormones, which can affect cells throughout the body.
Historically, laboratory synthesis of cannabinoids were often based on the structure of herbal cannabinoids, and a large number of analogs have been produced and tested, especially in a group led by Roger Adams as early as 1941 and later in a group led by Raphael Mechoulam. Newer compounds are no longer related to natural cannabinoids or are based on the structure of the endogenous cannabinoids.
Synthetic cannabinoids are particularly useful in experiments to determine the relationship between the structure and activity of cannabinoid compounds, by making systematic, incremental modifications of cannabinoid molecules.
JWH-018, a potent synthetic cannabinoid agonist discovered by Dr. John W. Huffman at Clemson University. It is being increasingly sold in legal smoke blends collectively known as "spice". Several countries and states have moved to ban it legally.

(Spoilers) HUGE "Predator" Reboot Rumor Will Be Amazing If True!
Bernard Rose is best loved by horror fans for his turn directing Candyman, based on a short story by Clive Barker. Rose cut his teeth on music videos during MTV's heyday, helming classics like Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Red Red Wine by UB40. Besides Candyman, his filmography includes Immortal Beloved, Ivansxtc, Anna Karenina, and Two Jacks; he's currently in post-production on Paganini: The Devil's Violinist.
Back in the early 1980s, however, Rose was a PA on the set of The Dark Crystal. He recently did a video for Trailers from Hell where he discussed the experience working on what he deems Jim Henson's "Masterpiece".
The film was originally produced with the different species speaking unique languages but was dubbed into English before the film was ever released.
Rose believes that The Dark Crystal is a one-of-a-kind film and, with the prominence of CGI in today's filmmaking, he feels this success can never be duplicated. Have a look at the entire video below, followed by the original trailer, synopsis, and poster for The Dark Crystal.

Costacurta has specific experience over a long period in the construction of reactor internals for catalytic reforming units, isomerization, synthesis of ammonia, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, urea and methanol synthesis. Reactor internals are manufactured in accordance with the specifications of major Technology Licensors. Costacurta is included in the list of recommended suppliers of the major Technology Licensors for non-proprietary equipment and is also the strategic partner of several Technology Licensors in the manufacturing of proprietary equipment. Costacurta will continue to collaborate with processing and engineering companies by placing its experience and know-how in production and mechanical sizing processes at their disposal during the development stage of new products. This collaboration comes together in feasibility studies, creation of prototypes and constructive suggestions aimed at quality improvement and product cost saving. In addition to the development of production and technical skills. The capability of managing complex projects, the focus on utmost quality and confidentiality are at the heart of Costacurta's reactor internals business division.
Reactors used in the chemical, petrochemical and refining industries have different flow directions. This flow may be radial (Radial Flow) or vertical, downwards (Down Flow). Costacurta has developed extensive experience in the construction of Radial Flow and Down Flow reactor internals.
In the typical configuration of a Radial Flow reactor, the reacting gas is conveyed radially on the catalytic bed through perforated plate distributors (scallops) located along the reactor walls or through the slots of an outer basket.
In a typical two-bed configuration of a Down Flow reactor, the reacting liquid is distributed, using an inlet diffuser, on the liquid distributor tray underneath.
This family of products includes some internal components similar, for their construction characteristics, to those previously mentioned but which cannot really be classified as reactor internals. Some examples are: edged wire cloth panels used in the polyester production process; special perforated trays for absorption and distillation columns; support grids for tube bundles and embossed plates for heat exchangers; support grids for molecular sieves; embossed and slotted trays used in copolymerisation processes.

Should you create infographics with these sure fire tools?
One of the biggest benefits of creating an infographic is that readers love the instant gratification. They can quickly grasp the concepts and share it with their colleagues. Infographics, along with other images, are the most shared content on the web. For you, a the benefit of infographic creation is that it garners more attention than a simple blog post. However, it's a big more difficult than a blog post. You have to find meaningful data and plug it in to a visual format.
Content – The actual data presented, which can be facts, figures, tips, resources, or any other type of content.
The first thing you need to do when starting an infographic is decide on its purpose. Know why you are creating it and how it fits into your overall content strategy. Also, before making any infographics, it's a good idea to surf the web to look at other infographics to get ideas and see what resonates with your community.
If you're creating a data-based infographic, find statistics or other to use. Put the content into a logical order, just as you would if you were writing an article. Add your own commentary. In other words, explain to your audience what these facts and figures mean and why they should care.
Create an introduction, and bullet points for each item. You can also add a conclusion that wraps everything up.
You can create infographics yourself or you may choose to outsource them. There are several online tools that allow you to create your infographic by choosing a template and design features and then plugging in your content. We list some of them below for you to experiment with.
Creating basic infographics is a task that's often outsourced. If you outsource your infographic creation, you need to create a rough outline for the designer to follow. The outline helps them to understand your idea for the graphic.
If infographics are a central component of your content creation strategy, you may want to hire a professional. It's often easier to get your ideas across to someone you've been working with on an ongoing basis. The price of creating an infographic varies greatly. Decide how much you can afford before you go searching for designers.
When you publish your infographic, make sure it's sharable. Include all of the social media buttons, links to embed, and anything else that would help your audience pass your infographic on to others.
Here are some of the tools that you can use to create great looking infographics. Make sure to experiment. You may find that one tool is easier to use or suits you better. You'll probably need to spend a little time when you get started, but the effort is well worth it.


Anyone else with me when I say I can't stop drinking hot chocolate at this time of year? There's just something so comforting about its rich creaminess, particularly when it's cold outside. Weirdly, I was never a big fan of hot chocolate, mainly because I didn't like dairy-based drinks growing up. It wasn't until I turned vegan that I developed a love of creamier drinks, and this DIY Vegan Hot Chocolate is therefore a godsend!
Not only is this recipe vegan and gluten-free as always, but it's made with whole food ingredients. There's so much added sugar in most of the drinks we buy that making your own is a great way to minimise this and up your dose of nutrients! This DIY Vegan Hot Chocolate combines raw cacao with cinnamon, Brazil nuts, dates and plant-based milk. It's that simple, but it's still absolutely delicious.
You're getting a good dose of various nutrients in this drink, including selenium from the Brazil nuts. Raw cacao supplies iron and magnesium, and the dates provide fibre. The plant-based milk and nuts also contain healthy fats to keep you warm over the colder months!
As with all my recipes, you're welcome to customise as you see fit. It can however be tricky to get the right balance of flavours with hot chocolate. Therefore, if you do stray from the recipe I recommend only making minor changes, so that you don't change the flavour profile too much. If you prefer a milkier, less strong cup of chocolate then feel free to use more milk. Likewise, if you prefer a really sweet drink, feel free to add another date or two to the mix.
One important point to note is that you must use a high speed blender for this recipe, and blend until the drink is completely smooth. If you don't, you'll likely end up with lumpy hot chocolate, which is not fun. Trust me.
This simple but delicious vegan hot chocolate contains only 5 whole food ingredients and takes minutes to make. It's also surprisingly good for you!
Blend all ingredients together in a high speed blender until frothy and really smooth (about 1 minute).
Pour into a small saucepan and heat (stirring regularly) until warm. Serve immediately!
Optional: try adding whipped coconut cream or sprinkling cacao, cinnamon or raw vanilla powder on top of your hot chocolate to take it to the next level.
