It's common knowledge (let alone courtesy!) to give your host family a gift upon arriving at their home. While this step seems simple enough, when you get to thinking about what to purchase, you might suddenly find yourself stuck. You could bring them chocolate– but what if they don't like chocolate? You could bring them a magnet shaped like your home state– but what if they don't have a refrigerator? It might seem fine to bring a bottle of wine, but what if your family doesn't drink alcohol/has really expensive tastes/shuns anything the color red (ok, perhaps the last one is a stretch)?
Host gifts are an important aspect of your homestay, as they contribute to the first impression your new family has of you. While you shouldn't worry too much about what to get, you should nevertheless put a bit of thought and effort into it.
1.) Know your family. This may seem obvious, but it needs to be mentioned because it is the most important aspect. Speak or email with your hosts before arrival so you get to know them better. You can find out if their children love fruit-flavored candy, that they like hiking on the weekends, that they have a weakness for vanilla puff-pastries. I found out that my family loved baking, so I got them a Southern-themed dessert cookbook. I also discovered that they collected magnets (they do happen to have a 'fridge), so I got them a magnet shaped like North Carolina, where I live. Knowing little facts about your hosts can make your gifts much more meaningful.
2.) Don't give them anything that could be offensive. Read up on the host culture. You don't want to find yourself wincing over giving your host something with an even number of contents, only to realize they consider even numbers bad luck. Check to make sure that the colors, numbers, and even shape of the things you're giving them don't have negative connotations in their society.
3.) Gift food sparingly. It could easily spoil or spill on the plane, or you may even be prevented by customs by bringing it into the country. Instead, come prepared with recipes and a list of ingredients (that can be found in-country) of some typical dishes, and go shopping for and make the food there. That way, you can spend time bonding with your hosts while you cook the food with them. I brought just one box of the flour used to make peach cobbler, a traditional dessert of the South. Bring the bare minimum, and buy the rest upon arrival. Your hosts will appreciate the fresher food and the learning experience.
4.) Bring a few smaller items, rather than just one big gift. That way, your hosts can get a broader feel of your home culture. Along with the magnet, cookbook, and cobbler flour, I brought a mixed bag of hard (read: unmeltable) candies for the kids, postcards of my city, and little tubes of honey made in my hometown. In showing them the many different aspects of my home, I gave them a better perspective of what my life in the American South is like.
5.) Pictures and postcards are always a great option. Your hosts will love seeing your family and where you come from. Plus, pictures are light, small, and easy to carry.
6.) Don't go overboard. You don't have to bring a suitcase full of stuff, nor do you have to break the bank. A few thoughtful items is perfect.
And there you have it! Along with my tips, you can also ask friends or family who have gone abroad before you, or look up tips on the Internet (I admit I did my fair share of that before leaving!).
If you have any tips you'd like to add, please share them in the comments.

An estimated 150 Northeast Ohio and statewide leaders today viewed firsthand the technology-filled 30,000-square-foot simulation center in the new headquarters of the Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron (ABIA).
The ABIAs open house was the first opportunity for many of the officials to see the headquarters, which is among the leading research and training centers of its kind in the country. The building features healthcare technology and simulation space meant to improve training for the entire medical team and first responders to improve education and patient care, as well as providing space for product development and commercialization. Companies and organizations from across the country and Ohio already have used the new facility to improve their training or test products.
The ABIAs Center for Simulation and Integrated Healthcare Education (CSIHE) is one of the largest of its kind in the country, and offers space that includes a mock hospital complete with triage, nursing, surgical, perinatal, intensive care and emergency and operating rooms. The center also features a unique bioskills cadaver lab that can be utilized by numerous medical and engineering specialties to work on more streamlined and effective procedures, as well as allowing for the efficient training of industry sales and design teams.
Thanks to the support of the Knight Foundation and our founding member institutions Akron Childrens Hospital, Akron General Health System, Northeast Ohio Medical University, Summa Health System and The University of Akron Akron and Northeast Ohio now have a spectacular asset that will impact healthcare training and biomedical device innovation across the country, said Dr. Frank L. Douglas, president and CEO of ABIA. Our ongoing mantra is The patients are waiting. And this new headquarters will help the healthcare sector improve patient care while accelerating innovation, growing the health and medical device space in Akron and Northeast Ohio and thus create jobs.
The headquarters represents a rare combination of research and biomedical product development expertise that few communities possess under one roof.
Akron, traditionally a manufacturing city, was always at the forefront of developing new products through research and innovation, said Mayor Don Plusquellic. ABIA continues in many ways that tradition but in a more highly technical, hi-tech arena as innovators of medicine, biomedical research and materials handling. The ABIA is the result of the cooperative spirit that exists in Akron and should ultimately lead to the jobs of the future through commercialization of the new ideas, products, and procedures developed by the world-class researchers at ABIA.
During the open house, guests took part in a live disaster demonstration that highlighted just some of the centers many capabilities and included use of a decontamination tent, trauma bay, the intensive care unit, mock operating room, bioskills lab and a standardized patient room. Actors played the roles of patients involved in an emergency, and ABIA professionals demonstrated the functions of each station meant to improve training for the entire team of medical and health professionals.
"The Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron represents the unlimited potential we see in Northeast Ohio to out-innovate and out-work the rest of the world, said U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton. Too often we are referred to as the Rust Belt, but the innovation on display today, utilizing our regions strengths in medicine and industrial and materials science, shows we really should be called the Opportunity Belt. I am proud to have been a partner in this progress, helping to deliver the resources necessary to help make today possible, and I look forward to working with the great men and women of this critical part of our community for years to come.
When commenting on ABIAs leadership, Knight Foundation President and CEO Alberto Ibarguen said, We all know that we have hit a home run in that department with Dr. Douglas.
Today we are celebrating a model of excellence in Akron, he added. Nobody should be fooled that the ABIA is a done deal. This is just the beginning. That should leave all of us with a great deal of hope.
The ABIA facility, built in 1917, was once the original headquarters and train terminal station for the Northern Ohio Traction & Light Company, which was a power company that eventually became Ohio Edison and operated nearly 300 miles of electric railways. After extensive renovations, ABIA executives moved into the headquarters in May and have been adding equipment for the training facilities during the summer. A mix of public and private funding from the Development Finance Authority of Summit Count, ABIA, FirstEnergy, Summit County and the State of Ohio helped to finance the project.
The ABIA may represent the best of our community collaborations and will help position our city and our county for future good-paying jobs and opportunities, said Summit County Executive Russ Pry.
In addition to the simulation center, the facility also houses three of ABIAs other Centers of Innovation Medical Device Development Center, Center for Clinical Trials and Product Development and Center for Community Health Improvement and rapid prototyping capability, an auditorium, meeting and educational spaces, an Akron location for the Northeast Ohio Medical University and more. A fifth center, the Center for Biomaterials and Medicine, is located on the campus of The University of Akron.
This new facility marks a turning point for Akron, Northeast Ohio and the biomedical device sector, Dr. Douglas said. In conjunction with our partners, we have the capacity to do some amazing things in Akron. The culture of innovation is growing here. There are even more exciting times ahead.

THE Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) Company says it is finalising tenders for the construction of its hotel and conference centre.
The project, which is valued at $11 million, is expected to provide an alternate revenue stream for the exhibition company.
With a capacity of 300 beds, the hotel is set to become the biggest in the city.
Presently the biggest hotel in the city, Bulawayo Rainbow, has 180 rooms, while Holiday Inn has 157 rooms.
The project will also see the construction of an 800-seater Convention Centre.
ZITF company chairperson Ruth Ncube told journalists at an event to mark the launch of 2019 edition of the ZITF that the facility would set the stage for the hosting of competitive and global conferences.
"We are beginning to take advantage of the piece of land that we currently are holding," she said.
"We are at the last stage of going to tender where we are putting on the conference centre, hotel and other such amenities.
"You may also want to consider the kind of focus that we have on the Meetings Incentives Conferences and Exhibitions, where again part of our halls are being turned into proper meeting facilities.
"If you look at it, you will be able to find out that in the past we have not been able to attract proper quality events because of the kind of facilities we have.
"We are looking at and working hard to turn our facilities into proper competitive venues and wish to hold a proper global conference".
The 2019 edition of the ZITF will mark 60 years of the annual business networking event.
Ncube said 49 631 square metres had been made available for sale with 64,7% being taken up compared to 59% at the same time last year.
At least 130 exhibitors had already confirmed participation, she added.
Industry minister Mangaliso Ndlovu, who was also present at the event, said ZITF officials had been conducting visits to foreign diplomatic missions to invite exhibitors and business visitor delegations.
"One-on-one meetings will be organised with interested exhibitors to ensure that the show provides a tailored, enriching experience for each delegate," he said.
"Targeted buyers include representatives from businesses seeking new sources of raw materials, goods and services, potential investors and financiers, distributors and other supply chain players.
"As Zimbabwe continues to work towards driving sectorial growth in its productive sectors, ZITF 2019 will, therefore, provide a stage for potential investors and business partners to identify and forge relationships with stakeholders in those sectors of the economy that will drive industrial development."
Events that will run under the show include the international business conference organised in conjunction with the National Economic Consultative Forum, a manufacturers' breakfast meeting hosted by the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries, and a charity golf challenge.

My Starch Targets Tracker | Finding My Inner Athlete!
I've been struggling a bit to keep things moving along like I want them to. One of the things I mentioned earlier is my visit with Dr. Lisle while I was at True North. I was going through the paperwork that I brought home with me and I found the notes he wrote out for me from our session.
My question had been, "What strategies might I employ as one who has the complete opposite of the perfect personality (I had just watched his lecture about the perfect personality for sticking to this plan) for this plan in order to be successful." I also mentioned that I tend to have an all-or-nothing response to things like this. He quickly grabbed a sheet of paper and drew out a tracking system for me that might work–stressing that it is not about checking off a box that says I'm doing it perfectly. What I'm aiming for is 80% (40/49ish checks per week) while tracking the following criteria: 3 starches per day, 1 salad, 1 fruit, 10-15 minutes of exercise, and adequate sleep. I was supposed to do this and then get back to him after 6 weeks.
Well–time has obviously gotten away from me, so I am starting now. Being the geek that I am, I have developed an extensive Excel worksheet for tracking. Here is a picture of what week one looks like.
It is my plan to post an update weekly and then follow-through with an e-mail to Dr. Lisle after week 6. Hopefully I will average at least 80% and have shown a weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week.
How do you measure your success? Do you have some sort of a tracking plan? Do you tick of a number of steps per day or a number of visits to the gym? Do you count calories? I'm interested in hearing what kind of strategies are motivating and helpful to others–whether it be regarding eating, exercise, or developing any new habit.
I found that if I was having vowel movements (compared to my previous constipated state) then I was losing weight. Now it's maintaining.
I love this! I am always wondering how you are doing. How much weight have you lost? How is the plants thing going? Keep posting please. I want to hear more of your journey.

2. 66 lbs dumbbell set comes with weight plates set (1.5 kg x 4 pcs, 2.5 kg x 8 pcs), two tubular rods and 4 buckles.
3. Please consider the weight limit before changing the weight plates of your own.
This set of weights will help keep your body fit and strong by enabling you to perform a variety of muscle building exercises. It's designed to develop you leg, hip and back power. Besides, it uses environmental-friendly PP material of plates. It has changeable dumbbell weight for you choose.
With the dumbbell set you could do exercise any time you want. Don't hesitate to buy it!
Quality weight set for a very fair price. Easy to place and remove weights from bar.
So far they are working great! The only thing is that one of the screws holding the weight on the bar gets loose fairly easy. I just screw it back on, and it's just the one so it's not a big deal. Just don't want the weight to fall off while I'm working out! Still really happy I got these, so worth the money!
I love how much you get for your money with this set. My box came with some scattered dirt/sand inside, but i checked the weights and it certainly wasn't from a leak in any of mine. This is too good of a deal to pass up, seriously. I go to my local gym if i feel so inclined to need machines, but most days i now just use these weights for arms, glute bridges, deadlifts, weighted lunges, squat variations, etc. I am (obviously) an amateur though, so if you need to bench 200lbs + two babies + 6 cars then perhaps stick to a gym or buy something else that lets you stay beefy.

Older Southern American English was a set of American English dialects of the Southern United States, primarily spoken by white Southerners up until the American Civil War, moving toward a state of decline by the turn of the twentieth century, further accelerated after World War II and again, finally, by the Civil Rights Movement.[1] These dialects have since largely given way, on a larger regional level, to a more unified and younger Southern American English, recognized today by a unique vowel shift and certain other vocabulary and accent characteristics. Some features unique to older Southern U.S. English persist today, like non-rhoticity, though typically in only very localized dialects or speakers.

This group of American English dialects evolved for over two hundred years, primarily from older varieties of British English spoken by those who initially settled the area. Given that language is an entity that is constantly changing,[2] the English varieties of the colonists were quite different from any variety of English spoken today. In the early 1600s, the initial English-speaking settlers of the Tidewater area of Virginia, the first permanent English colony in North America, spoke a variety of Early Modern English, which itself was diverse.[3] The older Southern dialects thus originated in varying degrees from a mix of the speech of these and later immigrants from many different regions of the British Isles, who moved to the American South in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as perhaps the English, creole, and post-creole speech of African and African-American slaves.
One theory of historian David Hackett Fischer's book Albion's Seed is that since indentured servants from Southern England primarily settled the Tidewater region and poor Northern English and Northern Irish families primarily settled the Southern backcountry, the Tidewater and backcountry dialects were most directly influenced by those two immigrant populations, respectively;[4] however, linguists have disputed the specifics of this theory, instead arguing that dialect-mixing in both regions was in fact more varied and widespread.[5] For example, an Appalachian Journal linguistic article reveals the flawed premises and misrepresentation of sources in Albion's Seed, asserting that the early Southern dialects are difficult to trace to any singular influence.[6]
Even in the decades following the American Revolution of the 1760s to 1780s, major metropolitan areas of the coastal American South, like Norfolk, Virginia and Charleston, South Carolina maintained strong commercial and cultural ties to Southern England. Thus, as the upper-class standard dialect in Southern England changed, some of its features were mirrored by the dialects of upper-class Americans in the aforementioned areas, followed by the regional dialects of these areas in general, regardless of socioeconomic class. Two such example accent features are the "r-dropping" (or non-rhoticity) of the late 18th and early 19th century, resulting in the similar r-dropping found in these American areas during the cultural "Old South", as well as the trap–bath split, which came to define these same two areas (as well as other areas of the South that imitated this phenomenon). Contrarily, away from the major coastal and plantation areas, and on certain isolated islands, Southern accents were more likely to preserve rhoticity.
By the time of the American Civil War in the 1860s, many different Southern accents had developed, most notably in eastern Virginia, the Lowcountry (namely Charleston), Appalachia, the Black Belt (the major plantation region), and the secluded South Atlantic coastal islands.
Decline[edit]
After the Civil War, the growth of timber, coal, railroad, steel, textile, and tobacco mill industries throughout the South, along with the whole country's resulting migration changes, likely contributed to the expansion of a more unified Southern accent (now associated with the 20th century), which gradually ousted 19th-century Southern accents.[7] Before World War II, the demographic tendency of the South was out-migration, but after the war, a counter-tendency emerged. Now, a high in-migration of Northerners, especially toward urban areas of the South, may have been another motivation for the abandonment of older Southern accent features. Finally, the Civil Rights Movement seems to have led white and black Southerners alike to resist accent features associated with the other racial group and even develop newly distinguishing features, which may explain the sudden adoption of rhoticity among most white Southerners (along with continued non-rhoticity among black Americans) since the middle of the 20th century onwards.[7]

General Older South[edit]
The phonologies of early Southern English in the United States were diverse. The following pronunciation features were very generally characteristic of the older Southern region as a whole:
A list of typical older Southern vowels[8]
English diaphoneme
Old Southern phoneme
Example words
/aɪ/ [aɪ~æɛ~aæ] bride, prize, tie
[ai~aæ] bright, price, tyke
/æ/ [æ] (or [æɛæ~ɐɛɐ], often before /d/) cat, trap, yak
[æɛæ~eə] hand, man, slam
[æɛ~æe] bath, can't, pass
/aʊ/ [æɒ~æɔ] mouth, ow, sound
/ɑː/ [ɑ] or [ɒ] father, laager, palm
/ɑr/ [ɑː~ɒː] (non-rhotic) or
[ɒɻ] (rhotic) ark, heart, start
/ɒ/ [ɑ] bother, lot, wasp
/eɪ/ [ɛɪ~ei] or
[eː] (plantation possibility) face, rein, play
/ɛ/ [ɛ] (or [eiə], often before /d/) dress, egg, head
/ɜr/ [ɜɪ~əɪ] or
[ɜː] (non-rhotic before a consonant) or
[ɜɚ] (non-rhotic elsewhere, or rhotic) nurse, search, worm
/iː/ [iː~ɪi] fleece, me, neat
/ɪ/ [ɪ] kit, mid, pick
happy, money, sari
/oʊ/ [ɔu~ɒu] (after late 1800s) or
[oː~uː] (plantation possibility) goat, no, throw
/ɔ/ [ɔo] thought, vault, yawn
cloth, lost, off
/ɔɪ/ [ɔoɪ] or
[oɛ~oə] (plantation possibility) choice, joy, loin
/ʌ/ [ɜ] or
[ʌ] (plantation possibility) strut, tough, won
Lack of Yod-dropping: Pairs like do and due, or toon and tune, were often distinct in these dialects because words like due, lute, new, etc. historically contained a diphthong similar to /ju/ (like the you sound in cute or puny).[9] (as England's RP standard pronunciation still does), but Labov et al. report that the only Southern speakers who make a distinction today use a diphthong /ɪu/ in such words.[10] They further report that speakers with the distinction are found primarily in North Carolina and northwest South Carolina, and in a corridor extending from Jackson to Tallahassee. For most of the South, this feature began disappearing after World War II.[11]
Yod-coalescence: Words like dew were pronounced as "Jew", and Tuesday as "choose day."
Wine–whine distinction: distinction between "w" and "wh" in words like "wine" and "whine", "witch and "which", etc.
Horse–hoarse distinction: distinction between pairs of words like "horse" and "hoarse", "for" and "four", etc.
Rhoticity and non-rhoticity: The pronunciation of the r sound only before or between vowels, but not after vowels, is known as non-rhoticity and was historically associated with the major plantation regions of the South: specifically, the entire Piedmont and most of the South's Atlantic Coast in a band going west towards the Mississippi River, as well as all of the Mississippi Embayment and some of the western Gulf Coastal Plain. This was presumably influenced by the non-rhotic East Anglia and London England pronunciation. Additionally, some older Southern dialects were even "variably non-rhotic in intra-word intervocalic contexts, as in carry [kʰæi]."[8] Rhotic accents of the older Southern dialects, which fully pronounce all historical r sounds, were somewhat rarer and primarily spoken in Appalachia, the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain, and the areas west of the Mississippi Embayment.[12]
Palatalization of /k/ and /g/ before /ɑr/: Especially in the older South along the Atlantic Coast, the consonants /k/ (as in key or coo) and /ɡ/ (as in guy or go), when before the sound /ɑːr/ (as in car or barn), were often pronounced with the tongue fronted towards the hard palate. Thus, for example, garden in older Southern was something like "gyah(r)den" [ˈgjɑ(ɹ)dən] and "cart" like "kyah(r)t" [cʰjɑ(ɹ)t]. This pronunciation feature was in decline by the late 1800s.[11]
Lack or near-lack of /aɪ/ glide weakening: The gliding vowel in words like prize (but less commonly in price or other situations of this vowel appearing before a voiceless consonant) commonly has a "weakened" glide today in the South; however, this only became a documented feature since the last quarter of the 1800s and was otherwise absent or inconsistent in earlier Southern dialects. Today, the lack of glide weakening persists in the High Tider and updated Lowcountry accents. Full weakening has become a defining feature only of the modern Southern dialects, particularly the most advanced sub-varieties.[13]
Mary–marry–merry distinction: Unlike most of the U.S. and modern Southern, older Southern did not merge the following three vowels before /r/: [e~eə] (as in Mary), [æ] (as in marry), and [ɛ] (as in merry). Although the three are now merging or merged in modern Southern English, the "marry" class of words remains the least likely among modern Southerners to merge with the other two.[14]
Clear /l/ between front vowels: Unlike modern Southern and General American English's universally "dark" /l/ sound (often represented as [ɫ]), older Southern pronunciation had a "clear" (i.e. non-velarized) /l/ sound whenever /l/ appears between front vowels, as in the words silly, mealy, Nellie, etc.[11]
Was, what and of pronounced with [ɑ]: The stressed word what, for example, rhymed with cot (not with cut, as it does elsewhere in the U.S.).[15]
No happy-tensing: The final vowel of words like happy, silly, monkey, parties, etc. were not tensed as they are in newer Southern and other U.S. dialects, meaning that this vowel sounded more like the [ɪ] of fit than the [i] of feet.
/oʊ/, as in goat, toe, robe, etc., kept a back starting place (unlike most Southern since World War II, but like most Northern U.S. dialects today); this became an opener [ɔu~ɒu] in the early 1900s.[15] The modern fronted form of the Atlantic South started as far back as the 1800s in northeastern North Carolina, in the form [ɜy], but only spread slowly, until accelerating after World War II.[16]
/ʃr/ pronounced as [sɹ] (e.g. causing shrimp, shrub, etc. to sound like srimp, srub, etc.); this feature was reported earliest in Virginia.[17]
Plantation South[edit]
The area in dark purple approximates the Plantation Southern dialect region, excluding the Lowcountry (the Atlantic coast of South Carolina and Georgia).
Older speech of the Plantation South included those features above, plus:
Non-rhoticity: R-dropping historically occurred in the greater central sections of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, and in coastal Texas and some other coastal communities of the Gulf states. Rhoticity (or r-fulness) was more likely in the southernmost sections of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, as well as in northern Florida, western Louisiana, and eastern Texas.[18]
Trap–bath split: Words like bath, dance, and ask, used a different vowel ([æ̈ɛ~æ̈e]) than words like trap, cat, and rag ([æ~æ̈ɛæ̈]).[19] A similarly organized (though different-sounding) split occurs in Standard British English.
/eɪ/, as in face, was inconsistently pronounced [e̝ː].[20]
/oʊ/, as in goat, was inconsistently pronounced [o̝ː].[16]
/ʌ/, as in strut, was conservative.[21]
/ɔɪ/, as in choice, was [oɛ~oə].[22]
/ɜːr/, as in nurse, was predominantly up-gliding, non-rhotic [ɜɪ] in the "Deep South" (all the Plantation South except North Carolina).[19]
Appalachia[edit]
Main article: Appalachian English
Due to the former isolation of some regions of the Appalachian South, the Appalachian accent may be difficult for some outsiders to understand. This dialect is also rhotic, meaning speakers pronounce Rs wherever they appear in words, and sometimes when they do not (for example, "worsh" or "warsh" for "wash"). Because of the extensive length of the mountain chain, noticeable variation also exists within this subdialect.
The Southern Appalachian dialect can be heard, as its name implies, in north Georgia, north Alabama, east Tennessee, northwestern South Carolina, western North Carolina, eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, western Maryland, and West Virginia. Southern Appalachian speech patterns, however, are not entirely confined to the mountain regions previously listed.
The dialect here is often thought to be a window into the past, with various claims being made that it is either a pocket of Elizabethan English which survived or the way that the Scots-Irish-origin people that make up a large fraction of the population there would have spoken. However, these are both incorrect. Though some of the distinctive words used in Appalachia have their origins in the Anglo-Scottish border region, a more realistic comparison is the way that people in North America would have spoken in the Colonial period.
Researchers have noted that the dialect retains a lot of vocabulary with roots in "Early Modern English" owing to the make-up of the early European settlers to the area.[23]
Charleston[edit]
The Lowcountry, most famously centering on the cities of Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, once constituted its own entirely unique English dialect region. Traditionally often recognized as a Charleston accent, it included these additional features, most of which no longer exist today:[24]
Cheer–chair merger towards [ɪə~eə].[25]
Non-rhoticity (or r-dropping).
A possibility of both variants of Canadian raising:
/aɪ/ pronounced as something like as [ɑe], but possibly [ɐɪ] before a voiceless consonant.[26]
/aʊ/ pronounced as [aʊ], but [əʉ~ɜʉ] before a voiceless consonant.[26]
/eɪ/ pronounced as [ɪə~eə] in a closed syllable, [ɪː~eː] in an open syllable.[20]
/oʊ/ pronounced as [oə~uə] in a closed syllable, [o~u] in an open syllable.[16]
/ɔː/ pronounced as [ɔ~o].[20]
/ɑː/ pronounced as [ɑ~ɒ],[27] with possible remnant pronunciations using even older [æ].[20]
/ɜːr/ pronounced as [ɜ~ɞ],[27] or possibly [əɪ][19]
/uː/ pronounced as [ʉː] or [ᵿʉ].[27]
Pamlico and Chesapeake[edit]
Main article: High Tider
The "Down East" Outer Banks coastal region of Carteret County, North Carolina, and adjacent Pamlico Sound, including Ocracoke and Harkers Island, are known for additional features, some of which are still spoken today by generations-long residents of its unincorporated coastal and island communities, which have largely been geographically and economically isolated from the rest of North Carolina and the South since their first settlement by English-speaking Europeans. The same is true for the very similar dialect area of the Delmarva (Delaware–Maryland–Virginia) Peninsula and neighboring islands in the Chesapeake Bay, such as Tangier and Smith Island. These two regions historically share many common pronunciation features, sometimes collectively called a High Tider (or "Hoi Toider") accent, including:
Rhoticity (or r-fulness, like in most U.S. English, but unlike in most other older Atlantic Southern dialects)
/aɪ/, such as the vowel in the words high tide, retaining its glide and being pronounced beginning further back in the mouth, as [ɑe] or even rounded [ɒe~ɐɒe], often stereotyped as sounding like "hoi toid," giving Pamlico Sound's residents the name "High Tiders."[28]
/æ/ is raised to [ɛ] (so cattle sounds like kettle); /ɛ/ is raised to [e~ɪ] (so that mess sounds like miss); and, most prominently, /ɪ/ is raised to [i] (so fish sounds like feesh).[29] This mirrors the second and third stages of the Southern Vowel Shift (see under "Newer phonology"), despite this particular accent never participating in the very first stage of the shift.
/ɔː/ pronounced as [ɔ~o], similar to modern Australian or London English.
/aʊ/, as in loud, town, scrounge, etc., pronounced with a fronted glide as [aɵ~aø~aε].[25] Before a voiceless consonant, this same phoneme is [ɜʉ~ɜy].[26]
/ɛər/, as in chair, square, bear, etc., as [æɚ].[25]
Card–cord merger since at least the 1800s in the Delmarva Peninsula.[25]
Piedmont and Tidewater Virginia[edit]
The old Virginia accent was mostly spoken in the central and eastern regions of the state, excluding the Eastern Shore of Virginia on the Delmarva Peninsula.
The people of the major central (Piedmont) and eastern (Tidewater) regions of Virginia, excluding Virginia's Eastern Shore, once spoke in a way long associated with the upper or aristocratic plantation class in the Old South, often known as a Tidewater accent. Additional phonological features of this Atlantic Southern variety included:
/aʊ/ pronounced as [aʊ], but as [əʉ~ɜʉ] before a voiceless consonant.[26]
/aɪ/ pronounced as something like [aε~aæ~aə], but possibly [ɐɪ] before a voiceless consonant.[26][27]
/ɛər/ pronounced as [æː(ə)].[27]
/eɪ/ pronounced as [ɛ] in certain words, making bake sound like "beck", and afraid like "uh Fred."
In Tidewater Virginia particularly:
The "palm" words and a select few "bath" words (namely aunt, rather, and, earlier, pasture) pronounced in the mouth and often rounded as [ɒ]. This rounding, combined with non-rhoticity, potentially merge several sets of words, like maw, more, ma, and mar, into a single phoneme.[27]
/ɜːr/, as in bird, earth, flirt, hurt, word, dirt, etc. pronounced with weakly rhoticity as [ɜʴ] or the less common non-rhotic variant [ɜ].[19]
Southern Louisiana[edit]
Southern Louisiana, as well as some of southeast Texas (Houston to Beaumont), and coastal Mississippi, feature a number of dialects influenced by other languages beyond English. Most of southern Louisiana constitutes Acadiana, dominated for hundreds of years by monolingual speakers of Cajun French,[30] which combines elements of Acadian French with other French and Spanish words. This French dialect is spoken by many of the older members of the Cajun ethnic group and is said to be dying out. A related language called Louisiana Creole also exists. The older English of Southern Louisiana did not participate in certain general older Southern English phenomena, for example lacking the Plantation South's trap–bath split and the fronting of /aʊ/.[31]
New Orleans English was likely developing in the early 1900s, in large part due to dialect influence from New York City immigrants in New Orleans.
Grammar and vocabulary[edit]
Zero copula in third person plural and second person. This is historically a consequence of R-dropping, with e.g. you're merging with you.
You [Ø] taller than Louise.
They [Ø] gonna leave today (Cukor-Avila, 2003).
Use of the circumfix a- . . . -in' in progressive tenses.
He was a-hootin' and a-hollerin'.
The wind was a-howlin'.
The use of like to to mean nearly.
I like to had a heart attack. (I nearly had a heart attack)
The use of the simple past infinitive vs present perfect infinitive.
I like to had. vs I like to have had.
We were supposed to went. vs We were supposed to have gone.
Use of "yonder" as a locative in addition to its more widely attested use as an adjective.
They done gathered a mess of raspberries in them woods down yonder.
Current projects[edit]
A project devised by Old Dominion University Assistant Professor Dr. Bridget Anderson entitled Tidewater Voices: Conversations in Southeastern Virginia was initiated in late 2008.[32] In collecting oral histories from natives of the area, this study offers insight to not only specific history of the region, but also to linguistic phonetic variants native to the area as well. This linguistic survey is the first of its kind in nearly forty years.[33] The two variants being analyzed the most closely in this study are the /aʊ/ diphthong as in house or brown and post-vocalic r-lessness as in /ˈfɑðə/ for /ˈfɑðər/.

The McDonald's All American game is taking place at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta on March 28th. Each week Scrapsports will be previewing a few players from both the men and women's squads to get you prepared for the big event. Up first in the lineup is a 6-8, 203lb freight train named Cam Reddish. A five-star recruit, Cam is known as the silent attacker. A quiet gentle giant in the school hallways, and the Incredible Hulk on the basketball court. With a lethal Eurostep dripped in finesse, and a flashy jumper, Cam Reddish is silky smooth. He is also incredibly fast. His basketball skills had many recruiters from the top schools in the nation fighting over him, and in November, the Westtown High senior announced that he was taking his talents to Duke to play under the legendary Mike Krzyzewski, joining a very talented 2018 Duke Class. The future is bright for this young superstar, but for now, we'll see how he shows out in this legendary All-American Classic. Stay tuned to Scrapsports as we follow Cam on his basketball journey.


Aspirin will still be recommended for those experiencing a heart attack or stroke, or at risk of recurrence, due to its ability to prevent blood clots.
According to the American College of Cardiology, only high-risk patients should take low-dose aspirin to prevent a cardiovascular event at the advice of their own physicians.
Doctors may consider aspirin for certain older high-risk patients, such as those who have trouble lowering their cholesterol or managing their blood sugars, as long as there is no increased risk for internal bleeding, the guidelines in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology say.
Here is why. Sticky platelets contribute to heart attack and stroke - aspirin works by keeping platelets from sticking together.
The American Heart Association issued this statement to FOX31 saying, "It is recommended that aspirin should only rarely be used to help prevent heart attacks and stroke in people without known cardiovascular disease".
It has been reported that effects from the quake were felt in north Lombok and other areas, as well as in Bali. It said search-and-rescue efforts to look for the victims are being carried out by the Indonesian authorities.
The recommendation comes after a clinical study found a daily dose of aspirin had no effect on prolonging life in healthy people, but it could be linked to bleeding. "For people who haven't had heart attacks that that risk of bleeding is probably more than the risk of saving you from having a heart attack".
The new guideline walks that back, saying that taking daily aspirin for this objective would do more harm than good in all adults over the age of 70 and all adults who have an increased risk of bleeding.
Engaging in regular physical activity, avoiding tobacco and focusing diets on "vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, lean vegetable or animal protein, and fish", were included in the new guidelines as important lifestyle choices for reducing risk of cardiovascular disease.
"Clinicians should be very selective in prescribing aspirin for people without known cardiovascular disease", Roger S. Blumenthal, MD, co-chair of the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease said.
Along with those dietary changes, people should exercise at least exercise moderately for at least 150 minutes a week.
"Statins should be commonly recommended with lifestyle changes to prevent cardiovascular disease among people with elevated low density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol levels at or above 190 mg/dl", the two groups explained in the statement.

We are very excited to welcome Michelle Terry, BHC Graduate and ICF-Certified Coach to our Day In The Life Blog. Michelle is in the same place in her coaching journey as many of our students are—she is just starting to build her coaching business. Read below to find out how Michelle manages a full time job, family, and building her business!
Hey! My name is Michelle Terry and I'm anew BHC graduate and a longtime writer, dietitian, and healthcare consultant. Empty-nester, mama to two (and wife to one), I'm always stretching, reaching, fluttering; doing something to make my life and others' lives more joyful places to live, eat, breathe, and dance.
I currently work full-time as a solutions consultant for a large corporation and travel the country helping health systems improve their patient care and health outcomes. I teach doctors, nurses, and other clinicians how to communicate with their patients in ways that activate individuals to take better care of themselves.
As a coach, I spend my days helping people fight aging, chronic disease, and self-doubt by harnessing their internal strengths. I preach the superpowers of mindfulness, self-care, and gratitude and make it my mission to collaborate with clients to live their best life through movement, meditation, and mindful eating. A self-proclaimed sufferer of shiny object syndrome, you are meeting me on my journey to establishing a career as a health coach and nutrition counselor.
I've been a registered dietitian for twenty-eight years, but until I expanded my education to include health and life coaching through HCI, I didn't know what was missing from my conversations. My skills didn't include addressing stress management, self-efficacy, and stretch goals. When I enrolled in BHC, it was with the intent to improve my teaching and communication skills for my day job as well as enhance some of my writing projects. Since completing the program, I am inspired to launch a career in coaching.
I invite you to walk with me on a day in the life. Hold on to your hat! I don't stay in one place for very long.
A self-proclaimed morning joy junkie, I make myself stay in bed until 5:00. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I'm out the door by 5:05 so I can practice hot yoga at a local studio. I prefer vinyasa and the flow sets a positive mood for hectic weeks full of travel, projects, and coaching.
After three years of regular practice, I am pursuing my yoga teacher training and will eventually integrate that into my coaching business (think: yoga/wellness retreats!).
Once I'm home from yoga, I lace up my sneakers and go for a short run. Running has been a regular part of my life for decades, and it's only in the last four years that I've had to lessen my mileage due to aging knees and injuries. I've had to change my all-or-none exercise, and use my struggles to make coaching conversations more rich and authentic. Because of my schedule, I can coach people about how to stay active while traveling. No matter where I am or what the weather, I find a way to run, explore the cities, and do yoga on the road. I teach my clients the same skills.
After exercise, I meditate, do some daily reading, and plan my day while in the shower. Breakfast is a must, and I make sure that a high-quality protein is the star of the show. Usually eggs and whole wheat toast, but I'm not against a leftover chicken breast or Caprese salad!
Before I start my consultant job, I set goals for the coaching practice and jot down the daily tasks that I'll do at the end of the day. Right now, that includes working on my website and blog, building nutrition content for newsletters, and marketing posts for new clients.
I'm at my desk by 8:00 and work at my day-job from my home office or teach in various cities such as Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, Nashville, Austin, and Oklahoma City. Health coaching and consulting are amazing complements to each other, and I use my BHC skills to provide better classes, lecture series, and client engagement. Most of my close-the-deal conversations have emerged from the students I've had in class. It works well in my busy lifestyle because I conduct the sessions over the phone in the evenings—even if I'm in a hotel.
By the time lunch rolls around, I'm knee-deep in projects, teaching, or grabbing a free moment to work on my book (Cultivating Joy: Find Your Inner Peace Through Mantras and Mindset). I often forget to eat, so I try to stay mindful and aware of the time so I'm not munching down low-energy snacks and carbs when I'm hungry later. On the road, I reach for high-protein, high-energy fruit, veggies, and lean meat—usually in a salad and with lots of water. At home, I crave what I grow in the backyard garden.
During workdays, I stay mindful of my activity level and water intake. Both are easy to neglect when inundated with projects and desk-bound teleconferences. I integrate these concepts into client calls, newsletters, and blog content. If I have a live client discussion, I bring that person into my office, always offering water and having healthy snacks at arm's length. My afternoon go-to is oatmeal, blueberries, and pecans.
I'm building a client base through my blog, newsletter, Facebook, and Instagram audiences. At this time, I have more than 12,000 followers in all social media outlets. My goal is to attract clients by establishing authentic relationships. I want clients who want to live their best life and desire more than lower numbers on a scale. Life is a precious gift, and I'm called to help people embrace their natural skills to live a more healthy, grateful, abundant life.
If I've sat at my desk all day, I run to the laundry room and do a quick heavy bag workout to clear the cobwebs. Even thirty minutes gives me the energy to finish the day strong with my health coaching tasks. I have been working the plans in the HCI $2K in 2 Months challenge. Right now, I'm completing the Getting Clients Starter Kit and tweaking my starter niche. I love to write and create, and I'm still crafting my descriptor Hot Hook.
At 6:00, if I don't have client calls (and I'm at home!) I emerge from the basement, often to find a home cooked meal waiting for me. My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 28 years. He is a retired communications executive and now works as a realtor. He makes sure I'm watered, fed, and cared for; and, unlike my houseplants, I thrive under those conditions. Evenings are spent in our recently emptied nest, still talking about our children. Dane, 18, is playing football and majoring in business at college. Our daughter, Tanna, is a 24-year-old college graduate and embarking upon her own health coaching and personal training career. I love my family; they are who keep me grounded, happy, and grateful.
Some parting tips I'd like to leave with you today.
Be yourself. Your clients, your referral partners, your family—they only want the real you. Don't be afraid to show your authentic, amazing self.
Practice gratitude. Being grateful for this life sets the stage for the abundance that will follow.
Write volunteerism and charity into your business plan. What you put forth comes back tenfold. That applies to money, service, kindness, and so much more.
Be open to vulnerability. People connect with us when we shed our armor. Let down your guard. Share your stories.
But not too open! You are sharing pieces of yourself every day in this coaching space. Take time for self-care, plentiful sleep, and healthy relationship boundaries.
Just jump. This was the hardest part for me. Always a careful planner and list-maker, I wanted everything in place before starting. When an unsolicited client called and asked for a consultation, I said yes. Even though my website wasn't ready and my office was a little messy, I invited her over that night. She is still my client and doing amazing things.
Just keep swimming. There will be days when life is overwhelming and you can't possibly imagine getting it all done. Remember that those busy days are what you hoped for when you first signed up for this BHC journey.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and follow me a day in the life. I am so grateful for you!

In Linux and UNIX system services are configured using various text files located in /etc/ or /usr/local/etc/ directory tree. A typical server system could have dozens of configuration files.You can check your configuration files for syntax errors without starting the server and validate all settings. In some cases, it is possible to to check the sanity of the specific data (such as keys) or directories (such as /var/lib/cache/). Text files are easier to manage remotely. You can use ssh and a text editor. If there is an error in configuration, the server may not start. It may result in a disaster. This post explains how to quickly find out a syntax error for popular servers and test configuration file for syntax errors.
Nginx is a lightweight, high-performance web server/reverse proxy and e-mail (IMAP/POP3) proxy. It runs on UNIX, GNU/Linux, BSD variants, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. According to Netcraft, 13.50% of all domains on the Internet use nginx web server. Nginx is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem. Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests. Instead, it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. Nginx powers several high traffic web sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, and SourceForge.

In December 2018, the European Commission approved the draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) for the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) as a Delegated Regulation.
Although there is still some time for the European Council and the European Parliament to express any objections they have, this article highlights what the ESEF is, who it impacts, and when it is expected to come into effect, assuming its current form remains unchanged.
The ESEF refers to the electronic reporting format that should apply to issuers on EU regulated markets in respect of their annual financial reports.
The move towards XBRL reporting is perhaps unsurprising, given the many benefits that it can bring to the financial reporting landscape. What's more, the use of XBRL should also help achieve the goal of making reporting easier for issuers, while also improving the accessibility, comparability, and analytical potential of annual financial reports.
When is the European Single Electronic Format coming into force?
The ESEF is expected to apply from 1 January 2020. Although the start of the ESEF is now just under a year away, it's actually taken quite a few years to get to this point.
The origins of the ESEF began back in 2013 when the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) was given the task of developing RTS in respect of a single electronic reporting format.
ESMA published a consultation paper in September 2015 as part of its development of the RTS and released the feedback in respect of the consultation in December 2016. Additionally, ESMA carried out field tests on 25 volunteer issuers in the summer of 2017. Further information related to the field tests can be found on ESMA's website.
How can issuers get prepared?
The European Securities and Markets Authority has taken steps to try to ensure that affected issuers can prepare for the ESEF as painlessly as possible.
More recently, in November 2018, ESMA released a YouTube tutorial video – the first of a series of videos intended to help explain more about the ESEF and its requirements.
You can read the ESEF Reporting Manual here and watch the ESMA tutorial in full here.
DataTracks has extensive experience of working with XBRL and iXBRL reporting standards and is well-placed to assist issuers with the new ESEF reporting requirements. To find out more about how DataTracks can help with ESEF, please visit our website or email a member of the team at inquiry@datatracks.com.

GenerAzioneD, Italian association of parents of minors who define themselves as 'trans', is founded
A guidance and information site to support and accompany mothers and fathers going through this complex experience: testimonies, interviews, and links to contribute to an in-depth debate that today does not find space in the mainstream media
The cultural, apolitical, non-denominational and non-profit association GenerAzioneD has been established. The association's primary aim is to inform about the problems of gender dysphoria/incongruence in children, adolescents and young adults. Through the dissemination of testimonies, news, national and international articles in translation and the promotion of opportunities for discussion, GenerAzioneD aims to foster the transparency necessary to ensure the best possible care for those affected. GenerAzioneD was in fact born from the meeting of some parents who shared the experience of having children [...]
Sex and gender: JK Rowling's essay
In her text, the writer explains in detail the reasons why she felt the need to address the trans issue, defying the violence of activists. A manifesto-writer for gender critical feminism translated into Italian by Alessandra Asteriti
Attacking JK Rowling can now also be a business. The latest initiative is that of a young Canadian imbecile art book creator who has decided to de-rowling Harry Potter by publishing a special edition of the saga on the cover of which the author's name disappears: $170 per copy for a despicable abuse of power. Let him keep all the copies in stock. Back to the serious stuff: in June 2020 JK Rowling published an essay on her website detailing her position [...].
The debate on puberty blockers also opens in Italy - finally!
Breaking the silence is the Italian Psychoanalytic Society, which is calling for an open scientific debate on these treatments, which it defines as 'experimental', not supported by adequate studies and at great ethical risk because they predetermine the fate of girls and boys
Much later than in the Great North of Europe, Great Britain, Australia, and some US states - which have abruptly put the brakes on the use of puberty blockers as a 'therapy' for girls and boys with gender non-conforming behaviour - Italy too is finally breaking its silence with a letter addressed to the government by the Italian Psychoanalytic Society, which calls for caution and the opening of a public scientific discussion. Below we reproduce interviews conducted by Marina Terragni for Il Foglio and [...].
Italian psychoanalysts: stop puberty blockers
The Italian Psychoanalytic Society criticises puberty blockers for children: dangerous and experimental treatment. And joins gender critical feminists and parents in calling for scientific data and a public debate on the best treatment for children suffering from gender dysphoria
For years we gender critical feminists have been fighting against the scandal of the medicalisation of children in the name of gender identity. And for years we have been branded as fascists, reactionaries, bigots. Today at last an accredited Italian scientific society, the Italian Psychoanalytic Society (SPI), is taking a stand, joining us in raising a cry of alarm: the use of puberty blockers is an experimental treatment that has no solid scientific basis, and causes serious side effects. Above all, in most cases dysphoria [...]

Four femicides in 24 hours. Four women were killed by men related to them - husbands, fathers, boyfriends, former partners - simply because they were women.

Q: Powershell Workflows, continue after reboot PowerShell Workflows are new to me, and have done a lot of reading on the subject, but still have some question unanswered.

*

*I guess that variables are not retained after the reboot of the workflow computer? So you will need to recreate your variables after the reboot?

*Do you place the complete script in the workflow, or just the part that instigates the reboot and the tasks that follows the reboot?

I am building a script that promotes a member server to a domain controller, installs some required software. After the reboot I need to add some privileges on the WMIMGMT, which needs to be done after the server has been promoted to DC, hence why a reboot is required.

A: I does not sound that it is intended for the workflow to do this out of the box.
Rather you would run the scrip remotely with commands that listen for computer restart and if it is up again.
