Interview With Darwin Deez
Fresh on the heels of his new record "Double Down" Indie maestro Darwin Deez took some time out on his U.S. Tour to chat with Northern Transmissions about his favorite records, dream producers and how he feels about making music in other styles.
Northern Transmissions: Darwin, can you talk about your approach to writing your new album "Double Down" how was it different from your previous records?
Darwin Deez: When I started out trying to write the new record, I was looking for ways to change my starting point, in order to keep it fresh for myself. Whereas on the previous album, I would just pick it up by starting with the lyrics and try to mold the music to fit that. One of my new approaches was starting with just a more driving bassline. Once I got a couple songs down, I started to get a sense of what was needed, but I definitely wrangled with how I wanted this to sound for close to a year.
NT: Can you describe the general feeling you personally have about this album and tour you are on now?
DD: Definitely happy with the record, I did my best to make something people enjoy, with previous records I was more experimental, didn't keep other opinions in mind because I wanted to keep it pleasing to fans, like on the debut. Then I wanted to take a break. Touring is a different feeling, a bit nervous, like right now I am in the lobby waiting for the elevator to open up, how symbolic. My band has become lodged in public documents and news releases but I still feel on the fringe, wondering if we can make that cross over to larger popularity. Happy to do this tour, to do any tour, I could tour forever, but I am wondering when the proverbial elevator door is going to open and take me up to the Taylor Swift penthouse, ya know?
NT: With your new record "Double Down" you recorded, performed, mixed and mastered it entirely by yourself. Do you feel you achieved the desired sound and do you feel the sound would have been somehow compromised had you worked with a producer in a studio ?
DD: There was a producer I wanted to work with, Chris Dane, he did some earlier stuff like a record by the Walkmen and some other stuff with Passion Pit, Miniature Tigers. His sound is really slamming and actually quite defined, I was open to idea of working with him, as his sound is not totally my own but certainly pleasing in a way that was palatable to a slightly wider audience then my production, he wasn't available. Alex Elby, was a guy who works with him a lot and was available and interested, worked with him on mixing one song with Alex. Could not get over all the subtle differences of his mix vs mine, the overall loudness or punchyness of a track was apparent in the differences, I went there and I was gonna do a record with him, but we put a lot of energy into making a song that I had already made, even though I knew my mix wasn't as precise, he had a lot of things I wanted on it, rather than do it 10 more times over all just to get mixes that were not necessarily more pleasing but just different. I figured instead I could save the money, and the energy and time as my own work was the sound I wanted so I was able to just let it go.
NT: Is there a producer that you have ever dreamed of collaborating, with whether dead or living ?
DD: Doctor Luke or Max Martin because for me, it is not very clear what they actually bring to a given song with their production. What is that recording process like? Whose ideas are whose? How much of the sound is the production vs the actual writing? I would love to see how they manufacture a song.
NT: How do you know when you are done with a song? Is there a certain sense of completeness that you feel or, does playing a new song live change how that song eventually ends up ?
DD: I mostly don't need the live element, not really part of the equation, a song can be 99 percent done, and I will play it a while live and figure out one last word, then sing it in a different way. So it changes a bit for fun here or there but I always know when a song is done because of the lyrics. As one approaches fewer options in terms of notes and rhythm you come to just trust intuition by figuring out what words are needed. For instance, the song on the new record "Lover" barely hangs together especially in the bridge. On that tune I felt like I had verses with a lot of flavour and a nice rhythmic punch so I didn't want to jeopardize the arrangement for the lyrics. That track has a very specific melody so it was really tough to actually fit something in there. The more freedom you give yourself, the harder it becomes to actually express something clearly even with a little bit of poetry, I feel like when I prioritize lyrics I end up sacrificing musicality.
NT: You have a very animated and apparent pop sensibility; if you had to produce a song or record in an entirely different musical style what kind of track would you make?
DD: "So not including house or rap, because I have made songs like that. Right now I am looking back to being a kid walking in one of those cd superstore places where you have a listening station.There was some drum and bass compilation that I pulled off the shelf and this was around the same time I was listening to the Chemical Brothers, even Prodigy, it was around 1997 or '98. This compilation completely blew me away, I was enraptured by the tempo. I bought a lot of other cd's at that time over a new openness to Drum and Bass. Trying to recall the CD, I think it was something like "Drum and Bass Volume 1" haha, but the jam on it was a Doc Scott remix of Art of Noise which sounded completely mental, I think the track is called " Something Always Happens." At that same shop there was a flyer for a rave I wanted to go to called "Bang the Box." However, when I bought the CD my mom was I didn't understand the the double entendre but now I know she did. So in short, I know I could make Country music I have done some Hip Hop and I could see myself making certain types of noise, I am interested in that kind of approach, there is a friend's band called "Extreme Animals" with Jacob Ciocci who is a fantastic person and visual artist.
NT: Which five albums are inspiring you these days?
DD The newest album I am currently both impressed with, pleased with and slight annoyed by, is the new Hiatus Koyote "Choose Your weapon" which is for me one of the most inspiring record I heard this year.
The rest of the records in my list are records that have me going back to my old stand-bys really analyzing the production on " Thriller." Especially the tracks that have an influence of the group Toto the sound on that record is not entirely Quincy Jones'. So I really like " Toto IV " it's the album after the one that had Gorgy Porgy" ya know with "Rosanna" and "Afrika." As a record, it is somewhat nerdy with a baffling number of session musicians but such an array of songwriters ! I mean how delightful that they got themselves a grammy especially after all those funny dungeons and dragons looking record covers, but also after working on tracks in so many genres even with people like Chaka Khan – hahaha.

Which Generation will show up at the Caucuses?
January 31, 2020 /in Election Polling, Featured /by Edison Research
By Sarah Dutton
With the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses just days away, anticipation is mounting about which candidate will emerge as the victor. And as with any election contest, turnout will be a critical factor in the outcome – a reflection of which candidate was able to motivate their supporters to come out and caucus.
It's always a challenge for pollsters to estimate turnout when they create their polling models of likely voters, and those turnout estimates may affect which candidate the polls show in the lead. Just days before the caucuses, some polls show Joe Biden leading, while others show Bernie Sanders ahead. And the margin by which these candidates lead the field varies as well. There is a history of surprises in Iowa as well, so no one should be counted out entirely. How many people turn out to vote, and who they are, will determine the winner.
As of this writing, many of those involved in the Democratic campaigns and Iowa election officials expect sizable turnout this year. In 2016, participation in the Iowa caucuses was around 170,000 voters. But in 2008, turnout for the Democratic caucuses in Iowa reached record levels; 239,000 voters came out to participate in the caucuses that year. Some political observers expect even higher turnout this year than in 2008.
But which types of voters attend the caucuses – young or old; Democrats, independents or even Republicans (Iowa's Democratic caucuses are open, meaning anyone can participate); moderate or liberal; urban, rural – will also influence how well the candidates fare and who prevails.Past Iowa entrance polls conducted by Edison Research provide some helpful data – but keep in mind that past results aren't necessarily predictors of future results, and turnout could differ this year. In 2008, Barack Obama was the winner of the Democratic caucuses. That year, Obama won among liberals, but he also won moderates, who were 40% of the electorate. Young voters – nearly a quarter of the electorate – also helped propel Obama to his victory. And first-time caucusgoers made up more than half the electorate in 2008; Obama won a 41% plurality of them.
Overall turnout for the Iowa Democratic caucuses was lower in 2016, and Bernie Sanders ran a very close second to Hillary Clinton, the winner that year. Clinton won among women in 2016, and she also won among voters age 65 and over, who made up a greater share of the electorate in 2016 than in 2008. Sanders' strong showing can be attributed to the younger, more liberal faction of the electorate. Although there were fewer younger voters than in 2008, Sanders won them by a very lopsided 84% to 14% for Clinton. (By comparison, in 2008 57% of voters under 30 supported Obama.) The 2016 electorate was also more left-leaning than in 2008; two in three were liberal, including 28% who described themselves as very liberal, up from 18% in 2008. Sanders won the very liberal voters by nearly twenty points.

Turning Out New Voters
Each election season there is speculation about whether new voters will turn out and which candidate will motivate them to do so. New voters can contribute to a candidate's bloc of voter support, and turning out first-time voters is often a sign that a candidate is generating enthusiasm. And while it may not guarantee becoming the party's nominee, energizing first-time voters can provide a compelling campaign narrative for a candidate heading into and during the caucuses and primaries.
During past Democratic caucuses and primaries, entrance and exit polls conducted by Edison Research showed both Bernie Sanders in 2016 and Barack Obama in 2008 were able to energize and motivate voters who were attending a caucus or voting in a primary for the first time.
In 2016, Sanders was best able to mobilize the support of newer voters. First-time caucus attendees accounted for 44% of Iowa Democrats in their caucuses, and Sanders won those voters handily (although Hillary Clinton won the caucuses overall).
In 2008, Obama was especially able to energize and turn out this group; a 57% majority of Iowa Democratic caucus goers said they were attending their first caucus, and Obama won the caucuses that year. It is worth noting that Obama's Iowa win in 2008 may have contributed to a shift in the Democratic race. In the months leading up to the Iowa caucuses, Clinton was ahead in just about every national poll that asked about the Democratic nominating contest. Later in January, after Iowa and New Hampshire held their contests, Obama began to lead Clinton in some national polls, perhaps because Democratic primary voters perceived him as more electable after his Iowa win.
Turning to New Hampshire, in the past two Democratic primaries the Edison Research exit polls show fewer new voters compared to Iowa – less than one in five voters there were voting in a primary for the first time. But Sanders won them by a large margin in 2016, and Obama won a 47% plurality of them in 2008.
Why were these new voters energized to turn out? The 2016 Iowa caucus entrance poll provides evidence of new voters' connection with Sanders. They were twice as likely as more seasoned attendees to say that only Bernie Sanders represented their values, and less likely to identify with the values of Hillary Clinton.
In the 2016 New Hampshire exit polls, Sanders' support from new voters shows more clearly that many of these voters were motivated by support for him specifically. New Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire were more likely than those who had voted previously to say they were in tune only with Sanders' values – 51% did so.
While nearly nine in ten new Democratic voters in New Hampshire said they would be satisfied if Sanders won the nomination, a majority also said they would not be satisfied if Clinton won. By comparison, majorities of those who had voted before said they would be happy with each candidate as the nominee. (Overall, 62% of New Hampshire voters said they would be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee, and 79% said the same for Sanders.)
Demographically, first time voters in Iowa and New Hampshire were significantly younger than voters who had caucused or voted before.
In 2016, Bernie Sanders went on to win first-time caucus/primary voters in the next set of nominating contests after Iowa and New Hampshire as well – a clear demonstration that he had energized a newer, younger bloc of voters to come out and participate in the nominating process. In the Nevada Democratic caucuses, entrance polls show that fully 62% of caucus-goers were attending for the first time, and Sanders won them 53% to 44%. And while a much smaller 13% of South Carolina Democratic primary voters were new voters, Sanders won them as well, 63% to 37%, according to the exit poll. Of course, despite this support Sanders did not become the Democratic nominee that year.
So, which candidate will generate enthusiasm among these newer attendees and voters in Iowa and New Hampshire this year? Will Sanders replicate his 2016 success? Will first-timers be a determining factor in which candidate becomes the eventual nominee? These are among the key stories to watch for next month as the 2020 Democratic nominating contests get under way.

The Youth Vote
Young people under age 30 seem highly politically engaged in the run-up to the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. It is impossible to predict how they will vote or why, but a look at their voting behavior, political leanings and priorities in the 2016 Edison Research exit polls suggest some trends to consider for the 2020 Democratic primaries.
Throughout the primaries and caucuses in 2016, Senator Bernie Sanders received strong support from voters under 30, according to the exit polls conducted by Edison Research. In the 2016 Iowa caucuses, the first of the Democratic nominating contests, caucus-goers under 30 supported Sanders over Hillary Clinton by a very lop-sided margin – 84% to just 14% for Clinton. Sanders won voters under 30 by similarly large margins in New Hampshire (83% to 16%) and Nevada (82% to 14%).
In fact, Sanders bested Clinton among voters under 30 in all the 2016 primary contests covered by the exit poll except Alabama and Mississippi. Looking at exit polls from all the Democratic nominating contests in 2016 combined, Sanders won 71% of the vote from those under 30, while Clinton won 28%; a landslide for Sanders and the inverse of the vote among those age 65 and older.
In addition to their vote choice, younger voters also differentiated themselves attitudinally from voters who were older. The 2016 exit polls reveal an under-30 electorate that identified as more liberal (and preferred more liberal policies), more concerned about income inequality and less interested in a candidate's experience than older voters.
Importantly, voters under 30 were more liberal than older voters. Combining all the exit polls from the 2016 Democratic nominating races finds that 35% of younger voters described themselves as very liberal – far higher than the 28% of voters age 30 to 44, 21% of those age 45 to 64 and 22% of 65+ voters who did so. And these young voters were far less likely to call themselves moderates.
Unlike older voters, those under 30 wanted the next president to promote policies that were more liberal than those of President Barack Obama.
Like voters of all ages, voters under 30 prioritized the economy and jobs as the most important issue facing the country. But they differed significantly from older voters in their concern about income inequality; 34% chose that as most important, the largest percentage of any age group. Health care and terrorism ranked much lower.
The qualities they looked for in a candidate differentiated them from older voters too. In 2016, voters under 30 were notably less interested than older voters in a candidate's experience and more attuned to whether he or she cared about them and was honest.
But generating turnout among young voters can be a challenge. According to the exit polls, voters under age 30 were just 17% of all those who cast votes in the 2016 nominating contests. The coming months will determine whether that holds true in the 2020 nominating contests as well.
Looked at more broadly, young voters are reliably Democratic voters in presidential elections and have historically favored Democratic candidates. While they were Sanders supporters during the primaries, in the 2016 general election Democrat Hillary Clinton won among this group by 19 points: 55% voted for her, while 36% voted for Republican Donald Trump. In 2008, Barack Obama was elected with strong support from voters under 30, winning this age group by 34 points. If recent history is a guide, whoever wins the Democratic nomination should continue to enjoy the strong support of voters under 30.
Since 2004, The National Election Pool (NEP) and Edison Research have conducted the only national exit polls in the United States. The NEP is the source for projections and analysis for every midterm election, presidential primary and presidential election.

What really happens on Iowa Caucus night?
Since 1972, the Iowa caucuses have represented the first presidential nomination contest and therefore receive a great deal of attention. They can provide surprises (Barack Obama, who trailed Hillary Clinton in national polls, won Iowa in 2008), catapult a nationally unknown candidate into the lead (Jimmy Carter in 1976) or be nail-biters (the 2012 Republican caucus was the closest in Iowa history with Rick Santorum edging Mitt Romney by less than a tenth of percentage point, and the 2016 Democratic caucus had Hillary Clinton defeating Bernie Sanders by a quarter of a percent).
For those of us who don't live in Iowa, the caucuses can be downright confusing; the caucus process is very different from a primary, which is what most voters are familiar with. What is a caucus? Do voters cast votes? How does a candidate "win" in Iowa? How are the results determined? Here is a primer on the Democratic caucuses that will help explain what you'll see, hear or read reported on February 3, and what it means.
The Democratic caucuses are essentially community meetings. They can be held in many types of places, including schools and churches. Unlike in a primary, where voters can vote throughout the day and evening, caucuses begin throughout the state at a uniform time – 7 p.m. Central Standard Time.
When they enter the caucuses, many Democratic caucus attendees will have a candidate in mind to support. Once the caucus has begun, voters divide into groups according to which candidate they support, often referred to as their "first preference." Undecided voters also form a group supporting "Uncommitted." At this point, at least 15% of caucus-goers at that site must support a candidate for the candidate to reach the "viability" threshold. Voters who support candidates receiving less than 15% must then realign themselves with another candidate, or they can try to persuade other voters to back their candidate until the 15% threshold is reached.
For instance, if Candidate A doesn't receive 15% support, then their supporters must choose from the other viable candidates in the race (Candidate B, C, D, etc.) or convince more voters to back Candidate A. Since this is a fluid process, voters may end up supporting a different candidate than they did when they first entered the caucus. And all this occurs within the privacy of the caucus location.
Once the final candidate groups are formed, support for each viable candidate is translated into "state delegate equivalents" – the number of delegates who will go to the Iowa state Democratic convention (and eventually the national Democratic convention) in support of each candidate.
The process can throw a curve ball to pre-election pollsters in Iowa. Polls conducted before the caucuses may accurately measure the first preference of voters there, but not reflect the post-viability realignment that occurs during the caucus. This is especially a concern when there is a large field of candidates running for the nomination, many of whom will not meet the viability threshold.
In caucus states, Edison Research conducts an entrance poll, rather than an exit poll; voters complete the entrance poll questionnaire as they enter the caucuses. (By contrast, in states with primaries, voters are asked to fill out a questionnaire as they leave their voting place, after they have voted.) That's because caucus-goers all leave the caucus at the same time, when the grouping process is over; it would be challenging to sample voters as they all leave their caucus together.
Edison Research has conducted the Iowa Caucus entrance poll since 2004. On Caucus night, Edison staff will be interviewing voters as they enter Caucus sites. Edison will measure caucus goer's initial preference and will later tabulate both the pre and post "viability" vote in each location (also referred to as "first alignment and "final alignment"). Also for the first time the Iowa State Democratic Party will be reporting three sets of results – the first alignment preference, the final alignment preference and the state delegate equivalents. So be prepared for different candidates leading each set of results and possibly different orders of finish.
That's the caucus process in a nutshell. Enjoy watching or reading about the results!

Do Voters Consider Candidate Age?
October 29, 2019 /in Election Polling /by Edison Research
by Edison Research Vice President Mary Meyn
When President Trump was sworn into office at the age of 70 on January 20, 2017, he became the oldest person to begin his first term as President. Previously, that record was held by President Ronald Reagan who was 69 when he was sworn in for his first term. With Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton also approaching 70, age was part of the political conversation, but not a significant factor during the 2016 campaign.
However, as the Democrats select their nominee, age has again become an issue in presidential politics. The three leading candidates according to recent polling – Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders – are all in their seventies. If one of those candidates becomes the nominee, both of the major party candidates running for President will be more than 70 years old.
Age has been a campaign issue in other elections, and the Exit Polls provide a historical look back on voters' opinions on the subject. (Click the following graphic to enlarge.)
At the time of the 2008 election, John McCain, the Republican Presidential nominee, was 72 and Barack Obama was 47. Sixty percent of voters said that the age of the candidates was not a factor in their vote for president, according to the Exit Poll. The 40% of voters who said that age was a factor in their vote, whether it was the most important factor or a minor one, voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. John McCain ultimately lost the national vote by 7%.
In 1996, Bob Dole was the Republican Presidential nominee. Had he been elected President, he would have been 73 years old at the time of his swearing in. The 1996 Exit Poll asked voters if Bob Dole's age would interfere with his ability to effectively serve as President, and 64% of voters said no, it would not. Bob Dole lost the election to Bill Clinton by 9% of the national vote.
Age was also an issue in the political career of Strom Thurmond, who served as a US Senator from South Carolina until he retired at age 100, making him the oldest Senator. In his 1996 reelection campaign, Thurmond was 93 years old. While Thurmond ultimately won reelection in a landslide (by a 31% margin), 55% of South Carolina voters did think that age would interfere with his ability to serve effectively as Senator.
While we don't know yet how much of a factor age will be in the 2020 Presidential election, we can look to exit polls in previous elections for a historical perspective.

Water War: Texas vs. New Mexico
The Rio Grande marks the boundary between Texas and Mexico. But further up the river, a different shared boundary is the source of a dispute between two states
By Alain StephensFebruary 16, 2017 5:28 pmEnergy & Environment, Government & Politics

Texas is saying that New Mexico has been shorting the state its share of the water from the Rio Grande. Texas is suing New Mexico in an effort to get its neighbor to pay up.
El Paso Times reporter Marty Schladen says this shortage is a big deal, especially in West Texas, because people are dependent upon that water — particularly in years of drought.
"All over Texas, water's important, especially so in the far west part of Texas," Schladen says. "They say that whiskey's for drinking and water's for fighting over."
What you'll hear in this segment
—The long history of water disputes between Texas and New Mexico.
—How Texas has been affected by the alleged water hijacking.
—How much could New Mexico end up owing the Lone Star State?
—Who the likely winner will be in this round of the Texas-New Mexico water war.

I gotta' hand it to the man - he knows his stuff! Jack always backs up his suggestions with verified science. This not only helps me progress my physique, but my general knowledge too which is incredibly valuable.
Jack supports me throughout the process and is a complete star, he has always gone the extra mile to support my progression, and everything we've done has changed my life for the better.
Overall my little world is a better place, and that's what matters. Without a doubt, I would recommend Jack to anyone striving to make serious improvements and progress.
Jack's attention to detail is a shining factor in his work.
When combined with his great communication skills and personal support this adds up to a great package.
Jack is great to have in your corner, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Before working with Jack I never believed in myself, but now I feel completely different. Honestly, I've never been so comfortable with a coach before.
My mindset has changed, as well as my relationship with food, and now I'm perfectly happy with our approach and counting macros. He's also 100% down for the banter, which makes the relationship so much easier.
I was hesitant about whether coaching over the internet would work. But Jack has surpassed my expectations of how good it can be.
Jack has taught me how to have a great quality of life whilst still achieving results. Being coached by him has taken my physique to a place I never thought it would reach.
Working with Jack really is fantastic and has been one of the best things I've ever done!
My strength has gone through the roof!! It's such a good feeling. I've noticed a change in my overall body shape, and I'm building in all the areas that I want.
Jack is very receptive, aware of the small details and of your personal goals. He does a fantastic job of tailoring structured plans, and truly does his best to deliver exactly what you want. The workout volume and progressions are perfect, he implements a wide variety of sets/reps, and there's time for recovery and structured deloads. It hits that sweet spot where I'm constantly pushing myself, but never feel overtrained or like I'm risking injury. This guy knows how to train.
Jack is super empathetic and understanding; never rude or demeaning. He is super smart and you can tell. Work with him and you will see results.
When someone is dedicated and love what they do, it translates into their work. Jack is so organised and structured with my plans, and out of all the coaches I've worked with - he is without doubt the best.
Jack uses such a wide range of information and studies as the foundation for his coaching, and I'm so happy to work with a coach who is very science based. It's priceless.
I can tell working with Jack is going to be one of the best decisions I've made as far as my health and fitness is concerned. I know that as long as we're working together, I am in very good hands.
I've never put on muscle this fast in my life! And I didn't really think I'd able to grow my glutes by a noticeable amount, but it's happening.
Jack dissects each and every concern I have and answers it directly and clearly, which takes a lot of the guesswork out. I have lots of confidence in what Jack teaches me because he knows his stuff.
He knows how to design an exercise plan to reach my specific goals, and everything is calculated very strategically. You know the time spent in the gym is worth it, and you'll get the results your after.
Working with Jack has been a far throw from the cookie-cutter-coaching commonly seen on social media. Jack values his client's overall health, wellbeing, relationship with food and general life satisfaction.
From day 1 Jack has been relentlessly committed to, invested in and enthusiastic about my personal goals.
I have seen an enormous change in my physique whilst working with Jack and couldn't have hoped for a better result.
If you want your dream body, that perfect physique and you know... to look good naked, then train with this guy.
The information and advice Jack gives is well delivered and easy for anyone to understand.
He knows exactly what he's talking about and will build a fitness program to suit you.
It's a little scary sending money to someone you've never met, but now we've worked together for a few months I 100% feel that it's worth it, and I'm loving my training more than ever.
I've gained so much muscle (and knowledge!), improved my mobility and exercise form, and rebuilt my confidence. Working with Jack is the best decision you'll ever make with your fitness goals.
He always takes the time to answer my questions openly and honestly, and creates plans that I love - the training sessions are amazing! I know Jack 100% supports me and I think that makes a massive difference.
I also really enjoy us getting to joke around - it makes the process a whole lot more fun and I think it's great that Jack builds those kind of relationships with his clients.
The support and information I receive from Jack is totally worth the price. Previously I wasn't the most consistent with my eating, however since working together I get better every week.
Jack is always there to guide me, keep me on track, and praise me, which makes me feel great and gives me motivation to keep going.
Jack understood exactly what I wanted as a client. He has a lot of knowledge, is very motivational, and we worked together well as a team.
Every change Jack made always gave me the best result possible, as he tailors each programme according to exactly what you want to achieve.
I have built my glutes and hamstrings, and my waist is a lot tighter. I feel awesome and would not recommend anyone else but Jack.
Jack is very knowledgeable in his field and builds a real relationship with his clients.
He has a quick response rate, and I feel so driven to stay on track. I've been able to stick to my macros everyday so far and that is great!


Every Sunday 10:00-11:15am @ St Thomas' Church.
We meet together every Sunday at 10.00am for a relaxed and informal service. Each service has a focus on learning more about the God of the Bible, His Son Jesus Christ and how his word is so relevant and life-changing in a 21st Century world.
The services includes music, prayer and the reading and teaching of the Bible in a relaxed and informal in style with dedicated groups for babies, children and young people. Whether you're already following Jesus or just wanting to find out more – you'll be very welcome any or every Sunday!
3rd Sunday of each month* 4:00-5:30pm @ St Thomas' Church.
'fresh' is our monthly tea-time service for all ages and all the family. It happens at tea-time so we can eat together. There's a band rather than the organ and we sit at tables not pews. There's plenty of fun and games, some craft, puppets and time to think about God as we explore the Bible together. You see? It's a bit like church only different. That's 'fresh'.
Why not come along and try it yourself? We'd love to see you.
*Please check the church calendar for exact dates.
Every Tuesday 9:30-11:00am during term time @ St Thomas' Church.
Tuesday Together is our weekly drop-in and coffee morning, with nearly new and bric-a-brac, games and a chance to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. For those who would like to, we have a short reflective service that begins at 10.30. Please do call in and say hello!
2nd Wednesday of each month* 12:00-2:30pm @ St Thomas' Church.

We'll consider a thought for the day from the Bible, and also there will be time to catch up with friends over a cuppa, and some other activities.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in different locations.
For those who know Christ and express a desire to attend regularly, our midweek small groups are a vital part of church life at St Thomas'. Part of what we do is to help each other think through more deeply what we learn on Sundays — and then be ready to change as a result.
Smaller groups of church members meet to pray together, encourage each other, share concerns and discuss the previous Sunday's talk, and to apply God's word to their lives. This is the best way of getting to know people in the fellowship, and easier to form strong friendships than on the basis of Sunday services alone.
We have a variety of groups to serve a variety of needs with groups on Monday afternoon, Wednesday evening and Friday morning. Contact Andy for more details of any of these groups.
For more details or to get involved, contact Andy on 01709 589 674 or by email.
1st Wednesday of each month* 7:30-9:00pm @ St Thomas' Church.
On the first Wednesday of each month, all our small groups come together as we share fellowship, sing praises and pray. We give thanks for God's work amongst us, and pray to him for the needs of the church, our mission partners, and believers around the world. You're hugely welcome whether you're part of a small group or not!
We try to make our Sunday services as accessible as possible. However, you may still have lots of questions which you don't have answers to or you don't feel you can ask. As its name suggests, Christianity Explored is an opportunity to investigate the heart of the Christian faith. It is a short foundations course running over a set of evenings, and many have found it helpful. It looks at some key questions and the Bible's answers to them. There is plenty of opportunity for asking questions and discussion, and no obligation to read aloud or pray. We welcome all to join, from those entirely new to the Christian faith to those who would like a refresher course.
2. What's gone wrong with the world?
3. How can I be saved?
4. What does it mean to follow Jesus?
If you would like to find out more visit the Christianity Explored website, or contact Andy to find out when the next course will run.
1st Sunday of each month* 7:30-9:00pm @ St Thomas' Church.
Our Equip programme is designed to help resource and equip the everyone in the church family to better understand the gospel and serve each other.
More details for 2019 are coming soon!

Q: Weighted shift operator is Hilbert-Schmidt If $W : \ell^2 \to \ell^2$ is the weighted shift operator defined by $$W(x_1,x_2,x_3,\ldots)=(0,x_1,\frac 12x_2,\frac 13x_3,\ldots),$$ how can I show that $W$ is Hilbert-Schmidt?
If I have $\{e_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ as the orthonormal basis of $\ell^2$, then I need to show that $\sum_{j=1}^\infty \|We_j\|^2 < \infty$.
So far, I have:
$$\sum_{j=1}^\infty \|We_n\|^2=\sum_{j=1}^\infty \left( \frac 1j e_{jn} \right)^2.$$
If this is correct so far, what can I do next?

A: You are done, just need to clarify your notation.
You have $\|W\|_{HS}^2=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\|We_n\|^2= \sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{j^2} < \infty$.

A: First note that $$W(e_n)=W(\underbrace{0,\ldots,0}_{n-1 \text{ terms}},1,0,\ldots)=(\underbrace{0,\ldots,0}_{n \text{ terms}},\frac 1n,0,\ldots)$$ so that
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \|We_n\|^2=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac 1{n^2} < \infty.$$

HomeSportsFootballAt Pro Day, Kuechly Is Strong Again
At Pro Day, Kuechly Is Strong Again
March 21, 2012 Chris Marino Football, Sports
Yesterday, Alumni Stadium played host to a local area Pro Day with scouts from 27 NFL teams. The main attraction was former Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly. Kuechly, who finished his career as the program's leader in tackles, spent the week at BC after training in Florida for the past three months. He's been gaining considerable attention after his strong performance at the NFL Combine, which was partially a result of intensive training at the IMG Football Academy.
At the Pro Day, Kuechly worked mostly on speed, reaction, and coverage drills. He led all the drills, often providing an example for the other athletes. One notable aspect of the day was that Kuechly's drills were conducted by Philadelphia Eagles linebackers coach Mike Caldwell. The Eagles have been a team linked to the BC standout since he committed to the draft.
Due to his solid performance at the combine, Kuechly did not participate in any timed drills. However, he was able to impress all scouts with his size, speed, and athleticism throughout the workout.
"I thought it went pretty well," he said. "All we did was position drills, and they went pretty smoothly. We had about four guys in our group, so they worked us a little bit. I felt pretty smooth. A lot of the stuff I had done before, so it wasn't anything too new. There were a couple of different things that were variations of some things that I had done. I think overall it went pretty smoothly."
Some questioned Kuechly's motivation for attending the Pro Day, due to his impressive combine numbers. For the Cincinnati native, the reason for returning to Alumni was easy.
"Just to keep working," he said. "It's one of those things where you have to do what you need to do. For me, that's going through drills and doing the best you can. I've been getting prepared for the last couple of weeks down at IMG, since the combine, just working on different drops and stuff that we anticipated doing up here, and I think it's just that you have to go out and show what you can do in this position with specific drills."
While many consider Kuechly to be a definite first round pick, he has not been overwhelmed by the hype surrounding his name.
"It hasn't been too bad so far," he said of the pressure. "I've kind of been secluded down there in Florida. The combine was kind of a little bit of an experience. You could say that was a little bit of a fishbowl. Other than that, it hasn't been too bad yet."
For Kuechly, the toughest part of the whole draft process has been the waiting. While he's spent the majority of his time training for the combine and then his pro day, he will now be forced to wait on teams to bring him in for individual workouts.
"It's the waiting game," he said of this point in the process. "You're down to Florida. Then [you're] up to Indy. Then you're back down to Florida. And now I'm up here. And then I have to go to Cincinnati and visit places, so it's kind of all over the place. Now that the combine is over and Pro Day is over, I just have to sit back and wait."
The next few days will see some movement for him, but his schedule remains uncertain.
"I'm down to Carolina [Thursday], and then from there we have a couple that are maybes right now. Not a whole lot right now, like I said, but it's one of those things that stuff kind of pops up, and you have to go with it. Right now, I know for sure I'm going down to Carolina [Thursday]."
One figure seen on campus in recent weeks has been current New York Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich, a former teammate of Kuechly. Kuechly said that he has been fortunate to have the mentorship of his friend throughout the whole process.
"I think I learned a lot more [from him] now that things are kind of over [at BC]," he said. "There's different things I learned from him my freshman year. He wasn't around as much, but when he was around he definitely helped me out. He sat me down before my first game on a Friday. I actually watched film with him when I was a freshman. When I was a sophomore, I played with him.
"Then this year he talked to me a lot about where he was after his junior year, and whether he would stay or leave, because he was kind of in the same situation. Mark taught me a lot of things in football, and then with the past couple of months kind of transitioning, I was able to give him a call, bounce some questions off him, and work from there."
While lessons from coaches and players are great, Kuechly has relied heavily on his instinct and preparation. His measurements are where they need to be, but the thing that makes him stick out is his nose for the ball and ability to break down plays on the fly.
Although it is uncertain where Kuechly will land, one thing is certain: he is going to be an NFL rookie next season. He will leave the comfort of being the top player on the Eagles' squad, and return to rookie status.
"It's going to be good. It's going to be a challenge. Again, kind of at the bottom again, like my freshman year. It's one of those things where you just kind of have to take in everything. You just want to soak in what everyone's telling you. I'll have to talk to the older guys who have been there before, and I'm just going to base it off that. But, back down to the bottom. You have to work your way back up.
"They can teach you so much, but sometimes you just have to go out there and play football. Sometimes, I try not to think too much when I'm out there. I just try to go out there and have fun and just get to the ball. That's kind of my goal: just get to the ball and make something happen."

Former Walk-On Energizes Eagles

His progress, like any other walk-on's, has come in stages. As a freshman, he practiced with the scout team, redshirting because he wasn't yet ready to play in games. As a sophomore, he finally saw the field, but only when the scholarship players' days were complete. Even as a junior, he earned a scholarship, but saw only limited action as a backup linebacker. […]

These are universal practices, speaking to the human condition and helping us to become more aware and more loving individuals.
This guided meditation involves Mindfulness of Breathing, a practice that is done in four stages. After setting up our posture, we become more aware of our bodies and relax as deeply as possible.
You become aware of the breath naturally flowing in and out, and then count each breath up to ten breaths and then start over. The goal is to let go by focusing on the place where we first feel the breath entering and leaving our bodies.

Cuomo Christmas Consternation
In most instances, leftwing propagandists do everything within their power to banish the lessons derived from traditional religious sources such as Biblical narratives from exerting any sort of influence upon public policy and awareness. However, if one of those cherished texts can be distorted for the purposes of advancing a particular agenda, these skilled manipulators have few qualms against doing so.
In one particular closing argument segment of his program, CNN mouthpiece Chris Cuomo declared it rank hypocrisy for Christians who celebrate Christmas to not fling the border gates wide open for the caravan swarm amassing along the U.S./Mexican border. Cuomo pontificated, "No small irony that Christians are getting ready to celebrate the story of Christmas, which is the exact story that we are trying to celebrate here. The poor and unwanted who wound up bringing the savior into this world in a stable, rejected. Just as we are doing now. This is who we are now and it must be exposed."
Such exegeted buffoonery is to be expected from a theological ignoramus who also revels in the delights of sodomite matrimony and the unbridled infanticide of abortion.
The key to the most complete understanding possible (for no human is capable of understanding all of it) is to take all of the canonical text (both Old and New Testaments) and to synthesize these together rather than to rely upon a single textual portion isolated from the comprehensive whole. On this account, Chris Cuomo is as woefully lacking as his reflections upon the Bill of Rights as evidenced by his pronouncements regarding free speech and the right to bear arms.
First, Mary and Joseph were not the unwanted migrating for the purposes of expecting to find a more prosperous residence in a land in which they possessed no ancestral ties or against which they had a legitimate claim. From Luke 2:1-6, the objective student of theology reads that Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem to comply with the decree of the Roman census for the purposes primarily of taxation. Thus, this narrative had nothing to do with immigration policy.
If a pulpiteer wanted to connect the account with something to make it relatable for contemporary audiences, the homily ought to have referenced the disturbingly intrusive census questions (since that was why a pregnant woman was required to plod across rugged countryside (tradition often depicts, on the back of a burro) or overly burdensome tax regulations such as those threatening small microbusinesses to submit proceeds to every conceivable local revenue jurisdiction in a country that spans the breadth of an entire continent.
Chris Cuomo is correct that Scripture does require compassion. However, he is even more exegetically negligent in failing to point out that this quality is circumscribed with boundaries and requirements not only on the part of the party obligated to extend it but also on the part of the ones considered to be receiving it.
Leftists love to point out how Scripture admonishes fair treatment of the stranger dwelling amidst the children of Israel. Interesting how those exhibiting an enthusiasm for the detailed oracles of God in this particular instance grow noticeably silent or even dismissive of the obligations expected of those not hailing from the Covenant people but extended the blessing of being allowed to sojourn among them.
For example, these aliens were not allowed to carry on in their heathen customs in a manner that would have polluted the sanctified culture. Those granted sanctuary would have been required to comport themselves by a body of standards far more restrictive than anything that would be imposed in Trumpist America.
Leftists priding themselves somewhat as Bible scholars will no doubt respond that these statutory rigors are part of the Old Testament covenant. These provisions do not apply to the New Testament which is based upon forgiveness and love.
So is that really how religionists of a more progressive outlook want it? So in an exaggerated Jim Carrey mannerism, "ALLLLLRIGHTY then!!"
It follows that the parameters of God's fulfilled covenant are circumscribed by the portion of Scripture referred to as the New Testament. Those wanting to invoke its protections are just as obligated to abide by its regulations.
As such, Romans 13:4 says of the magistrate, "For he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil" Therefore, if Chris Cuomo is going to admonish compliance with the whole counsel of God, shouldn't viewers expect to see the broadcaster deliver an exhortation urging those wanting entrance into the United States to comply with all duly enacted regulations and policies deemed necessary by the American people as enacted through their government as established by a ratified constitution?
In the conclusion of his remarks, Cuomo equated the migrant caravan at the border demanding entrance into the United States or threatening an undefined "or else" with the Holy Family. These two demographic quantities are nothing alike in terms of the responses to their respective circumstances.
For example, the most basic characteristic one cannot help but notice about the caravan is its incessant and forceful making of demands. For it was not the orderly way in which the throng went about filing petitions for entrance that prompted border enforcement personnel to respond with the strategic deployment of the compound colloquially referred to as "tear gas".
The Holy Family, on the other hand, are not on the record in Scripture as to making any demand whatsoever. The account is not even clear as to whether or not they told anyone else of their plight.
In dramatic interpretations of the Gospel account more likely to give the kids more charismatic than those relegated to the role of shepherds but not quite the apple polisher of the lad usually selected to play Joseph, the innkeeper is made out to be a bigger equus africanus asinus than the one Mary is depicted as riding into Bethlehem on for sticking a pregnant woman in a barn. However, an innkeeper is not even mentioned in terms of explicit divine revelation.
There is next to no background provided as to how it was that Mary and Joseph ended up in the stable. All theories speculating as to whether it was at the suggestion of the innkeeper because of Joseph's pleading or because the sanctified couple quickly dashed in for a modicum of privacy because Mary couldn't any longer keep the blessed event contained within her virgin womb with the alternative being not to lay down the head of the little Lord Jesus gently on the hay but rather letting the crown of glory plop onto the dusty streets of Palestine.
It can be stated with near certainty that Mary and Joseph acted nothing like the migrant horde amassing along the border with Mexico or even the typical hipster millennial mother that demands accolades and extravagant concessions for simply having procreated. At no time did Joseph hurl rocks at the inn, threatening to burst through the door uninvited. At no time did Mary demand that those within earshot alter their routines to accommodate the circumstances in which she found herself or provide her with a lactation room more extravagantly furnished than a five star resort.
As an inherently emotional season, many are prone to turn off for the holidays those defenses that usually protect the discerning from being taken advantage of during other times of year. However, it is in such moments that those bent on undermining both our heritage and our liberty are prone to be at perhaps their most deceptive.

From Whence Cometh Christmas Conniption?
Over the past several decades, the culture war animosities that arise in response to the condemnation of Christmas and the vocal response rushing to the defense of the celebration have become so predictable that these have about taken on the status of traditions in themselves akin to decked out halls, trimmed trees and marathon broadcasts of "It's A Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story". Those realizing that it will probably be futile to expect to eliminate this beloved festival and, more importantly, the worldview that this holiday represents through a direct frontal assault are now starting to insist that the war against Christmas doesn't exist at all.
In one essay titled "Time For Truce On 'War Against Christmas'", Leslie Handler goes as far as to call this annual Yuletide dispute "fabricated". She proceeds to equate those outraged to the point of articulated disagreement against this annual campaign to undermine American culture with the perpetrators of "shootings on ball fields with lawmakers or places of worship filled with people praying or bars filled with our youth who perhaps have not yet learned to hate."
The sort of naiveté thinking that youth in their early twenties likely to be found in a bar have not already figured out how to hate is proof enough why a number rushing to the defense of the Christmas cause think that these attacks against the holiday serve as proof that Western civilization may be closer to the point of collapse than many realize or are willing to admit. The reasoning is little better elsewhere in the column.
Leslie Handler insists that the movement to expunge the most explicitly sectarian examples of Christmas commemoration from government sponsored venues is based upon the separation of church and state which Handler insists the country is built upon. But from this errant soil springs equally errant fruit.
Though it might be part of the jurisprudence imposed under threat of Waco-style law enforcement for failure to comply, the sort of separation of church and state as advocated by Leslie Handler is found nowhere in the First Amendment as enumerated by the Founding Fathers nor imposed upon the states through the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment. What the First Amendment says is that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.."
What that means is that a non-Christian student cannot be compelled to accept or affirm Christian doctrine against their will under threat of punishment. Nowhere does the Constitution say that the vast majority should be forbidden from articulating their most sincerely held beliefs or that entire aspects of the nation's heritage should be ignored to the point of suppression because a minuscule but highly-organized activist few demand such at the hands of radical secularists or combustible pyrotechnics at the hands of the militant adherents of certain heathen creeds.
In the name of faddish ideologies such as multiculturalism, diversity and inclusion, it is argued that those holding to any number of bizarre notions no matter how far outside the mainstream or even inimical to public order, mental stability and bodily integrity should not only be allowed to have their say publicly. Those within earshot had better not respond with anything but gleeful enthusiastic acceptance if they do not want to face catastrophic consequences such as the loss of employment or the opportunity to advance academically.
Leslie Handler writes in response to a caller of a talk show suggesting that if a parent does not want their children singing "Oh Holy Night" perhaps the child shouldn't be in the school chorus, "Would this woman really want her child singing a religious song honoring a faith other than hers? Would she believe it was OK for her Christian child to sing a Muslim song praising Allah?"
Christian have been forced to do the equivalent of this for quite awhile now. This has been going on for years if not decades.
For example, in Virginia in 2015 and in West Virgina in 2018, students were forced to copy in Arabic the shahada, the ritual proclamation indicating that those that recite the creed have been initiated into the Islamic faith. At least if an atheist whelp reneges on what he sang during a Christmas carol, even among the most die hard of contemporary Christians, the urchin is not viewed as fair game for execution unlike in the eyes of certain Muhammadean sectarians.
Some time ago in Prince George's County, Maryland, pupils studying a unit on ancient Egypt did not simply review the beliefs from the realm of the Pharaohs from the standpoint of "This is what the ancient Egyptians believed, class." Rather the students composed letters to pagan deities beseeching advice (one might argue that is the essence of prayer) and crafted amulets for the purposes of warding off evil spirits. One must ask would the ACLU let it quietly slide if on a segment on the Middle Ages students would have nonchalantly been allowed to bead their own rosary or paint their own icon?
With so much allowed to take place in the public schools sounding more like something out of the Defense Against The Dark Arts course at Hogwarts rather than the technologically sophisticated curriculum of the twenty-first century public school, it is only natural that Christian parents and students are going to be a little agitated when all manner of heathens, deviants, and subversive foreigners whose primary loyalties lie with the homelands they fled rather than the one lavishing them with an assortment of handouts often denied to those forced to provide these luxuries to newcomers and others refusing to lift a finger are glossed over when the time comes to speak allowed their own truth.
Often the beneficiaries of this public largess are even applauded as superior to those retaining loyalty to the values that made America great in the first place. This sting is made even worse in the cavalcade of diversity when traditionalist, instead of being given their turn in the spotlight that insists no viewpoint is more important than any other, are told to sit down and shut up over alleged atrocities that those alive today had no role in perpetrating.
In the Brave New World in which we find ourselves, Heather has two mommies. Entire classes are often expected to miss recess for an entire month to symbolize solidarity with the Akmed's and Omars of the world during Ramadan. White kids are compelled to feel bad all through the month of February over injustices and that long since been overcome. Female students are now the ones punished over biological males taking leaks trousers down in from of them standing in the little girls' room. These parents ought to be incredulous over claims insisting that somehow the child of the village atheist is irrevocably harmed by lyrics hoping for peace on earth and goodwill to all men.
Leslie Handler in her column admonishes, "Take a moment to listen to someone else. Learning new perspectives can be a good thing."
Both objective surveys and man on the street comedy interview routines alike prove the disturbing widespread ignorance regarding American customs, institutions, and cultural practices. As such, the education system would doing all children a favor by at least pointing out that there is more to the holiday season than a week off at the end of the year.

Publix confirms coronavirus cases at Lakeland store
Kevin Bouffard
LAKELAND — Publix Super Markets Inc. has confirmed workers at two Central Florida stores, including one in Lakeland, have tested positive for COVID-19.
Maria Brous, director of communications at the Lakeland-based supermarket chain, confirmed one employee of the store at 11205 E. State Road 70 in Bradenton had tested positive for the coronavirus and that multiple employees of the store at 6767 U.S. Highway 98 N in the Lake Gibson Shopping Center had confirmed cases, she said in a Friday email to The Ledger.
Citing privacy laws, she declined to release further information on those cases, including severity and whether any required hospitalization.
In accordance with the company's policy, the workers were given 14 days of paid leave and advised to stay in quarantine, Brous said.
Brous responded to The Ledger's request for COVID-19 information regarding stores in Lakeland specifically and across the company's 1,244 supermarkets in seven Southeastern U.S. states. She declined to provide companywide information.
"The testing and reporting of cases by health departments varies widely state-by-state," Brous said. "As a result, we cannot fully and accurately report cases in real time, but we have been, and will continue to be, keenly focused on intensive, ongoing protective measures in all our stores."
Brous detailed some of the safety measures Publix has undertaken in response to the coronavirus pandemic under guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including:
• A heightened, ongoing disinfection program focusing on frequently touched surfaces, such as touch pads, door handles and computers.
• Notification, quarantine and paid leave for up to 14 days for associates who have been in close contact with the associate who tests positive for COVID-19.
• Installation of Plexiglas shields at registers, customer service desks and pharmacies in all stores.
• In-store signs, one-way directional aisles and regular public address announcements reminding customers and associates of social distancing.
• Floor markers for appropriate six-foot spacing at checkout registers.
• Requiring workers to wear face masks.
"Like other essential service providers, we have seen our own associates and their families personally impacted by COVID-19," Brous said. "Unfortunately, as public health officials have indicated, we expect to see an increase in cases as the virus spreads in our communities."

Q: Remove item from reference Array (Mongoose) I have a User model that holds an array of references to other users:
friends          : [ { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User' } ]

How can I remove an item from this list? This is what I'm trying so far:
var index = user.friends.indexOf(friend_id);

This properly gets the index of the item. Now I'm trying a splice:
user.friends = user.friends.splice(index, 1);
user.save();

Unfortunately this isn't working. Any advice?

A: There is an issue with the way you're using splice(). You are using it  and expecting user.friends to be the resulting array. However, splice() actually changes the context array and returns the deleted items. So essentially, user.friends now holds the deleted items rather than the modified items.
To fix this, just remove the assignment when you perform splice():
user.friends.splice(index, 1);
instead of how you have it currently:
user.friends = user.friends.splice(index, 1);

A: You could use the filter method on object,
I'm not sure about the syntax but it should be something like:
console.log(filter(Schema.Types.ObjectId, function(friends) {
  return !(user.friends == friend_id);
}
));

let me know !!

We're doing something that no-one's ever done in Australia before – bringing together youth organizations and thousands of individual young people to be a political force to be reckoned with on climate change. Our mission is to build a generation-wide movement to solve the climate crisis, through uniting diverse youth organisations around this common challenge. Through our member groups, we inspire, educate, empower and mobilise young Australians to take action on climate change. We coordinate, communicate and network with each other, and run shared projects and campaigns. AYCC has only been around since November 2006, but in that time we've grown in leaps and bounds – starting a national 'Switched On Schools' program, sending 2 youth delegations to the United Nations Climate negotiations, running campaigns like our current "Your Targets = Our Future" and using the media, creative actions and youth lobbying like our 'Adopt a Politician' campaign to ramp up the pressure on our pollies to do much more to protect our future from climate change. AYCC is entirely youth run and one of the most strategic, dynamic, well-networked and powerful youth organisations in Australia. Coalition building is hard – all our member and partner groups are working on different issues – but the one thing we have in common is that climate change affects our future. We are a strong and unified youth voice calling for urgent climate action commensurate with the seriousness of the problem.

At the moment we have a team of over 100 young people organising Power Shift 2009, Australia's national youth climate summit – bringing together 5,000 young climate advocates in Sydney in April 2009 to re-frame the climate change debate as about young people, and our generation.
Our other main projects are our Switched On Schools high schools program, and our Youth Climate Leadership program.

It's an IVF treatment with eggs from our donors. It's recommended when the quality of oocytes t's not high to have evolutionary perspectives on pregnancy. In Institut Marquès we offer that treatment without travelling abroad.
What does the first IVF appointment entail?
An interview with an IVF specialist and another with an embryologist. The IVF specialist will tell you what treatment you need to take and the embryologist will explain to you all the laboratory procedures that will be performed.
Tests that need to be done.
Signing of the Consent Form for the specific assisted reproduction technique. By signing the Consent Form, patients agree that they have been fully informed about all the medical, biological, legal, ethical and economic matters related to their specific treatment and that they willingly accept the conditions stated in the Consent Form.
Instructions for the medication to be administered.
Selection of the most suitable day to start the treatment.
When does the second appointment take place?
Your uterus is prepared for embryo transfer using a medication that thickens the endometrium. Only one ultrasound is required to monitor whether your uterus is ready to receive the embryos.
If you have your menstruation, a contraceptive pill is prescribed to inhibit ovarian function. You must have a scan done to check the thickness of the endometrium. Depending on the day we will do the transfer, we will tell you when to start progesterone.
While taking the contraceptive pill it is common to have slight spotting. Usually this is not medically significant or problematic for the treatment. If you do experience any problems then let us know and we will tell you what to do. However, bleeding is important if it occurs whilst applying the patches. In this case always inform us.
What tests need to be performed before starting an IVF cycle with donor sperm?

It was a little bit more than cold when we first walked into the room but the heater took care of that in about an hour. The room was a bit small, but it was cozy. And if you like Arby's, its about 100 feet from Travelodge.
Nice, warm hot water/shower. It was a quiet stay.
The beds are comfortable and other than the issue with the missing towels and the refrigerator not being cleaned out, the room was comfortable and clean.
Staff was very rude! Asked for an extra towel and maids were very rude and unprofessional! I recommend not staying here.
The overall appearance of the room was nice. I liked someone at the desk always so I could ask questions. I don't know if I'd stay there again, it would be money related.
Rooms clean with nice fridge, micro-wave and coffee pot. Had TV and wi-fi. Staff friendly and professional. Liked free coffee and tea selection!!
I reserved the room for a week for my grandson. They went above and beyond in reassuring me they would look after him during some stressful circumstances! Can't thank them enough!

Maids never cleaned the room. We didnt have door sign up or anything. When Maids where cleaning they didnt want to take are trash had to go dump it myself. Asked for new linens maid got upset because she was getting off in 30mins. *note* I walked downstairs to the laundry room and asked for them and she still got upset it was litterally right next to her. I guess last 30mins of maids works is waiting till work is over.
Most of staff was very friendly..
the bathroom fan was too noisy. the drawers were way too large for the room, it made it hard to walk to the bathroom or walk around things. The TV could have been mounted in the middle of the room naot at one end. Plug in base for recharging cel phones.
I didn't have any towels in my room and a used bar of soap was in the shower which lead me to believe it wasn't cleaned. When I googled this bite it showed a picture of a swimming pool and it didn't have one!
I was surprised this hotel was a in the Wyndham hotel.
The accommodations were clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff were very nice and helpful. The price was very acceptable.
I don't like dogs barking and they were when we checked in but luckily they were quiet through the nights.
Location was great for our need. Thanks so much.
It could have been a little more cozy/inviting. But that's personal, nothing really in particular to dislike.
