Early in his career, Trace Adkins' then manager Gary Borman took him aside and gave him some good advice.
That's the reason Adkins isn't just a Grammy Award-nominated country singer. The former oil-rigger is an actor who has starred in such movies as "The Lincoln Lawyer," alongside Matthew McConaughey, and "Mom's Night Out," with Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin and Sarah Drew.
Still, when Adkins gets on stage, he feels the parallels between his live music concerts and his filmed acting gigs.
"When you're doing a song, whatever the subject matter may be, you have to try to emotionally put yourself in that place," he said. "I've always believed the audience can tell whether or not you're just phoning it in.
The major difference is the feedback.
Adkins should know. He's performed all over the world, including annual USO concerts that have taken him to the Middle East, the most recent being a month ago.
Those concerts are like no other performances he has ever done.
"Once you do one of those things and you get in front of the most appreciative audience you will ever play for, you're going to want to go back and do it again," Adkins said.
Even when those tours wrap up, they still resonate with the singer.
After completing the tour, Adkins knew exactly what Newton meant.
Adkins feels entertainers have a responsibility to boost the morale of those serving the United States.
Earlier this year, Adkins was awarded the Dwight D. Eisenhower Award by the National Defense Industrial Association for his dedication, support and advocacy for America's servicemen and servicewomen.
He said he was "really embarrassed" about being only the third entertainer to receive the award.
"Bob Hope was the first and Gary Sinise was the second, as far as entertainers go," Adkins said. "Then someone messed up and gave it to me.
In the meanwhile, Adkins is anticipating the release of a new album.
Making albums is the most enjoyable aspect of the job, according to Adkins.
"That's the one thing that really hasn't changed over the years, except for the fact that I'm not as nervous," he said with a chuckle. "When you go into the studio on tracking days and are in the studio with some of the world's best musicians and lay down the tracks with 10 or 12 of those cats, that is still my favorite thing to do in the music business.
Those sessions are akin to performing with his idols, which Adkins has done throughout his career.
"It's always fun when you get to collaborate with one of your peers and have a good time," he said. "As a country music fan, some of my favorite and most cherished and honored memories are the times when I've got to perform with my heroes — Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Ed Bruce, George Jones.
"When I got to go on stage and sing with those guys, if my career could have been over after any one of those, I would have been fine with it," he said.
At the moment, however, Adkins has his eye on the Beehive State.


This is how Karandaaz Pakistan enabled Techlogix, a technology-based company in Pakistan to expand in terms of staff, products, and service portfolio.
Technology is known as the key to accelerate growth in the South Asia. Particularly because the market has potential and is extremely competitive but also because of immense talent and potential in the youth. Hence, the past two decades have seen a plethora of technology-based companies starting operations in the region. Techlogix is one such IT services company that started over twenty years ago when Salman Akhtar and Kewan Khwaja graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and decided to take the entrepreneurial route.
The company that began as an IT services company has come a long way in the past twenty years. From developing softwares to implementing packet software that already exists, Techlogix was delivering exactly what their clients required. For over 10 years, Techlogix worked in the education industry and became Oracle's largest partner in implementing people soft campus solutions, a product that is used to run the operations of universities and colleges. This experience and working in that space for a significant time enabled Techlogix to have a clear idea of what a world-class product should look like. Inevitably, the company started eyeing new product development.
For an IT/technology based company to really do well, it needs to grow, expand and innovate in terms of developing new products that could attract customers from the market. Developing new products, however, is a process that is easier said than done. On paper it sounds interesting and exciting, in reality it is a long and challenging process that is not just time consuming but extremely cost intensive too.
Developing new products means experimenting, making mistakes, starting afresh, investing resources, wasting some of them and yet never stopping. But once Techlogix had its eyes on new product development that was the only way to go forward for the company.
Two major changes in the technological world in the last five years encouraged the company to build its own products. One of these was the shift to cloud computing, which means that servers are run on the cloud and the other was the advent of machine learning or artificial intelligence, which allows one to do predictive analytics that were impossible to do before.
Techlogix saw this as an opportunity to rethink what the educational product should be like in the new technological space. While the first round of capital came from Techlogix itself, when even more capital was required, the company looked at Karandaaz.
Karandaaz Pakistan understands the potential of technological and IT service companies and is working to promote access to finance for businesses through a commercially directed investment platform, and financial inclusion for individuals by employing technology-enabled solutions. These solutions include Karandaaz Capital, which provides wholesale structured credit and equity-linked direct capital investments to micro, small and medium -sized enterprises (MSMEs) that demonstrate compelling prospects for sustainable business growth and employment generation in Pakistan.
Salman agrees that raising capital and investment for expansion is difficult in Pakistan.
In a scenario like this, the direct equity investment from Karandaaz was monumental for Techlogix's growth in developing new products.
While Salman values the contribution Karandaaz made, he also firmly believes that the new products need to have their own independent success or failure. If it's a good product, people should be willing to pay for it and it has to financially sustain itself.
The products Techlogix developed once the equity investment from Karandaaz was secured are in the education space and enterprise mobility. This investment came at a crucial time because the growth could have slowed down without it. In terms of tangible expansion, the Karandaaz investment allowed Techlogix to accelerate the growth path – from 25 people working on the two product ventures to 90 people employed today specifically for these new products. Growth in terms of customers has also significantly grown. Before the investment, the company had 2 customers for these products. Now they have over 60 customers. This speaks volumes about how more people are being hired, employment is being created and better working conditions and benefits are delivered to the workforce.
Mehreen Baddar who works at Techlogix looks at the investment from Karandaaz as great news for the employees too.
Mehreen's views are similar to those of the three hundred and sixty other employees who work at Techlogix today. The company is doing business not only in Pakistan and United States but also in Dubai, Bahrian, Qatar, Saudi, Lebanon, Jordan, Malaysia and several countries in Africa. With the new products being developed with the investment from Karandaaz, this is just the beginning for further expansion that will help Pakistan's economy, increase employment, and make a positive impact on the community encouraging more young people to take the entrepreneurial path and follow their passions.

CivicSpark Climate Fellow
Why I'm Choosing a Career in Public Service and Think Others Should Too
Public service manifests itself in many different forms. Some find themselves getting involved in their child's PTA, volunteering at their local food bank, deciding to run for their local city council, or joining our armed forces. For me, I joined CivicSpark, an AmeriCorp public service program that has brought me here to Sierra Business Council. For the next 11 months, I will be serving as a CivicSpark Climate Fellow managing projects to build capacity for local governments in the Sierra Nevada. Some of my projects include working with Nevada County to implement their recently approved Energy Action Plan and working with the City of Portola to become more fire safe.
This opportunity to serve the Sierra is extra special to me because this is my home. I grew up in the small town of Loyalton, California nestled in the Sierra Valley. My family has been in the valley for seven generations so to say our roots are deep would be an understatement. When it came time to explore colleges, I wanted to stay where I could enjoy the crisp mountain air and world class views so I joined the Wolf Pack. I graduated this past May with my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with a minor in Public Administration from the University of Nevada, Reno.
Little did I know that the University of Nevada would be a place where my passion for public service could thrive. I have always been involved in my community, be it through volunteering events or student organizations, but getting involved during my college years took that involvement to the next level. I joined the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN) and saw the impact that serving one's community can have. ASUN represents the interests of 18,000 undergraduate students while advocating at the local, state, and federal level. I was fortunate to be elected to many positions throughout my time where I advocated for the advancement of women, the environment and affordable housing needs. Through these experiences, I began to see the bigger picture of serving others. Service became my way of life and integrated itself in the way I approach solving problems and interact with my peers. It gave my life, and work, a deeper meaning. Meaningful work is why I have chosen a career in public service and why I encourage others to consider one as well.
Many people are afraid to go into public service or non-profit work for fear of not being paid enough. I would argue that public sector jobs have a number of key advantages that are often overlooked that go much deeper than one's paycheck. Here are five reasons why I think everyone should consider a job in public service:
Meaningful work. The first of these reasons is that public work provides a deeper sense of meaning in one's work. There are many problems facing our world and communities that require smart people who can find, test and implement solutions. Tackling problems like climate change, affordable housing, multimodal transportation, or forest management provides the satisfaction that a positive impact is being made to move the needle and public work is making it happen.
Exposure to multiple practice areas. Another reason to explore work in public service positions is that often there is more exposure to multiple practice areas. People in these jobs can usually find themselves wearing multiple hats and becoming familiar with a variety of duties and skills that they might not have gained elsewhere.
Better Work-Life Balance. Public service jobs tend to have more flexible hours and a 9-5 schedule whereas our private industry colleagues may have more pressure to meet billable hours or increase their profit margins. Work in the public sector is more focused on serving the community and ensuring the success of programs and services with an added appreciation for the staff working to make it happen.
Deeper Connection to Community. While serving in one's community, employees gain more access to the people who live there which leads to a greater appreciation for not only one's work, but the work of those around the community. We need more appreciation for one another in this world and working in the public sector can provide this.
Advancing the Public Good. Serving underserved or underrepresented groups, people, or causes offers a sense of accomplishment that often only comes from aligning one's work with one's values. I would argue that working to achieve societal change or advancing important issues goes further than a paycheck. A study written about in The New York Times backs me up, reporting that "Lawyers With Lowest Pay Report More Happiness" citing that advancing the public good gave them a higher feeling of satisfaction. This is not only the case for lawyers, this is true across many jobs in the public sector.
Now, I know that not everyone can work in public or non-profit jobs, but I truly believe a position that can propel your passions is worth exploring at any stage in life. Working towards underserved causes has given me immense happiness and sense of purpose that has propelled me in the early stages of my career. I am so excited to begin this journey as a Fellow with Sierra Business Council to expand regional resilience, build climate action capacity for local governments, and serve our Sierra Nevada.

The Internal Revenue Service officially announced tax season begins on Monday, January 29, 2018.
Given the debate surrounding tax reform in the final months of 2017, the beginning of tax season was anything but certain. But as the year drew to a close, many speculated IRS would make the announcement at the end of December or just after New Year's. While IRS won't begin accepting returns until January 29, tax professionals across the country will queue completed returns before that date.
If you intend to queue returns before the start of filing season, don't forget to remind early-bird clients claiming ACTC and EITC that, due to the PATH Act, the earliest their refunds will be issued—not arrive—is February 15. The IRS cautions that these refunds likely won't arrive in bank accounts or debit cards until the week of February 27, and that's if everything goes smoothly. Despite the refund delay, it's still recommended that taxpayers file as soon as they have all of their tax documents, regardless of when their refund will be processed.
One final, obvious note: the 2018 tax season may be starting later than expected, but the filing deadline has not changed. Since April 15 falls on a Sunday and April 16 is Emancipation Day, Tax Day will be Tuesday, April 17.


INGREDIENTS: Hydrolyzed gelatin, water, fructose, citric acid, dextrose, natural and artificial flavor (contains lactose), potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate to preserve freshness, sucralose, red 40, blue 1. Contains: Milk. This product is manufactured in a facility that uses peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soybeans and wheat.

The Best Equity ETFs
These stock-focused exchange-traded funds all earn Gold ratings.
Mentioned: iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) , Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) , Vanguard Extended Market ETF (VXF) , Schwab US Broad Market ETF™ (SCHB) , Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) , Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO) , Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) , iShares Core S&P Total US Stock Mkt ETF (ITOT) , Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM)
A version of this article was originally published on Nov. 12, 2019.
There's a lot to like about exchange-traded funds. They're easy to buy and sell. They're generally low-cost. Depending on their investment set, they're usually tax-efficient. And they're pretty transparent: What you see is what you get. As such, ETFs can make terrific portfolio building blocks, because they allow you to get exposure to the parts of the market that you want--and not get unwitting exposure to the parts you don't want.
A good place to start your screening process is with the Morningstar Analyst Rating. Funds that earn our top rating--Gold--are those that we think are most likely to outperform over a full market cycle.
Today, we're taking a look at the top-rated stock-focused ETFs in three main asset-allocation buckets: U.S. large companies, U.S. mid-cap and small companies, and diversified international stocks.
U.S. Large-Cap ETFs
The funds in this group provide exposure to the stocks of large companies, making them fine anchors for an equity portfolio. But there are strategic differences among them.
Some in the group--including iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)--track the S&P 500. As a result, they provide access to large-cap stocks representing about 80% of the U.S. stock market.
Others on the list--such as iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT), Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB), and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)--follow broader market indexes that include more stocks, some of which are smaller-cap names. While these funds also land in the large-blend Morningstar Category, they expose investors to a wider pool of stocks and market capitalizations.
Morningstar's Guide to ETFs
Still others on the list provide exposure to a subset of stocks. Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM), for instance, exclusively focuses on dividend-paying stocks; its market-cap-weighted approach gives it a large-company bias. Moreover, some names on the list focus on growth stocks, while others explore value territory.
You can find more highly rated ideas on our Morningstar Medalist ETFs list.
U.S. Mid- and Small-Cap ETFs
Mid- and small-cap funds certainly aren't portfolio essentials, especially if you already own one of the broader market index ETFs from the large-blend category--if you do, you already have some mid- and small-cap exposure.
However, if you have a large-stock-focused portfolio or if you'd like to boost your weighting in smaller names, you'll find what you need among our Gold-rated ETFs in the mid- and small-cap categories.
Some funds focus exclusively on mid-cap names, while others target smaller companies; in addition, some skew toward growth stocks, while others favor value names. Vanguard Extended Market ETF (VXF) covers all of the above.
You can find all of our highly rated ideas on our Medalist ETFs list.
International-Stock ETFs
Like mid- and small-cap funds, international-stock funds certainly aren't must-owns. After all, from a risk-reduction standpoint, international stocks aren't great diversification tools for a portfolio heavy in U.S. stocks. But remember that investment opportunities exist around the globe; many think it's a mistake to limit your investments to U.S. shores.
The Gold-rated funds here target stocks of varying sizes and styles across international markets. If none of these funds fits the bill for you, you can cull additional ideas from our Medalist ETFs list.

Socialisation for your new puppy is extremely important between the ages of 8-16 weeks. This is the optimum period where puppies learn to interact and play with other puppies appropriately and with manners. Puppies are so cute and sometimes we allow them to manipulate us. But like all good responsible parents we need to set the necessary rules, boundaries and limitations in order to teach them what we expect of their behaviour so as to raise a well mannered, content and happy dog.
The sooner you start teaching your new puppy 'right' from 'wrong' the easier it will be to welcome them into the your family or 'pack'.
This is where attending a puppy class can help. Puppy classes are a fabulous way to safely socialise your puppy whilst the owners learn all about how their puppy thinks and how best to bring out good desirable traits and behaviours and diminish those unwanted and annoying behaviours. Don't be fooled about the word 'puppy' school, as the classes are as much about the owners as it is the puppies. If owners can be helped and guided with tips, techniques and sound information then hopefully their puppy will grow up to be a happy well rounded dog.
Puppy classes should not be about formal obedience, as your puppy is not yet developed enough for this type of learning. It should be more focused on safely socialising your puppy so as it can learn how to interact with other puppies, people and expereince different and new things. This way your puppy is being taught how to survive and adapt to everyday life without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

Use It: Secret Functions BBTAN Application For Tablets To Make It Better | Revealed.
The game was separated into five episodes, released in approximately monthly intervals for mobile devices, personal computers, and PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The version of the series for the Nintendo Switch was announced in August 2017, and was released on November 14, 2017. Following Telltale Games' closure in 2018, some of the studio's games were acquired by Athlon Games.
Tim was the first Robin since Dick Grayson to receive his own independent comic title from 1989 to 2009.
Also, when you reach a score of 100, you will be removed from the guide points.
Bruce explains that he knew of Darkseid's plan to use the Omega Sanction to send him slowly forward through time https://game2load.com/bbtan, and that his solution was to simply forget his existence.
If he has a choice, if it is necessary, the bad guys can be left to fend off on their own.
Most of their effort went into designing the graphical style and environments that would mimic the look and feel of Batman Begins.
Leveling up gives you access to new skills and abilities which make the game more fun and engaging. After completing the story mode, you can also engage in story-based raids, co-op encounters, and PvP battles. DC Universe Online is another game where Batman makes an appearance without being the main character. The core concept is of like other RPG games but with DC characters.
Suicide Squad: Did Joker Die?
According to Bruner, the game is set a few years after Wayne decides to become Batman, giving them flexibility in their writing and gameplay to give the player some control on how they want to play the character without ties to any established narrative. The game features a branching narrative, similar to past Telltale games, giving the player options in approaching a situation and having that choice affect later events in the game. The game includes action sequences that are resolved similar to Telltale's other games, using quick time events. The series also includes investigation sequences, allowing the player to use Batman's detective skills to progress the story. Grand Theft Auto V, the latest addition to the GTA franchise, is the fourth-most best selling game of all time. Rockstar Games' crown jewel, the entire Grand Theft Auto series has been widely accredited for its superb storyline with an interactive open world gameplay.
Released for a variety of home computers across the European market, Batman was a 3D isometric game that saw the player attempting to rescue Robin by exploring the Batcave and trying to locate the pieces necessary to repair the Batmobile. Developed by Ocean, a company that had enjoyed success with several other licensed video games titles, Batman was received favorably by gamers and the media, opening the door for countless titles to come featuring the pointy-eared vigilante. Arkham Knight is the first in the series to give you the keys to the Batmobile – which is just as well as the main islands of Gotham City are now your playing field and you need to travel between them as the game progresses. Its clever use of the detective mechanics from the main games makes it a joy to play, but just simply being about to don the cowl of the Bat is enough for us. Batman, Bane, Catwoman, Robin, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, the Joker, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and Scarecrow are included in the game as playable characters.
Will The Knights Be Out Of Their Disguises In The Belfry?
While responding to a break-in at Ace Chemicals, Batman and Robin realize it was the Joker's doing and search for clues as to what he is planning, but the factory is destroyed by a series of explosive chemical reactions caused by the Joker before he left. The pair are rescued by Superman, who puts out the fire, but Batman declines his help in dealing with the situation at hand. Later, Batman learns that the chemicals Joker stole can be mixed into synthetic kryptonite, and uses the Batmobile's on-board computer to track the signature to Luthor's mobile operations center. Batman and Robin board the vehicle and retrieve a piece of synthetic kryptonite, but are thrown out and can't continue the pursuit due to the Batmobile being destroyed by the Deconstructor. The pair return to the Batcave, unware that the synthetic kryptonite has a tracking device inside, which Luthor and the Joker use to find them. The villains destroy the Batcave and escape with Batman's supply of real kryptonite – which was their target all along – while Batman and Robin are again rescued by Superman, whom the former reluctantly allows to help.

(CNS): Police have confirmed that two people are in hospital this morning in critical condition after being seriously injured in an early morning road crash in West Bay. A spokesperson from the RCIPS said that at around 1:30am on Wednesday 8 January police received a report of a serious motor vehicle accident involving a Suzuki Jimny. The accident happened along Up The Hill Road in Mount Pleasant. According to officers, the driver was traveling from the Shores towards the junction with Meadow Road when he lost control of the car and collided with a chain link fence, causing major damage to his vehicle and the fence. Both the driver and a front seat passenger sustained serious injuries.
Police said the two were both taken to the hospital in George Town by ambulance, where they were admitted in critical condition. A 6:30am update from the hospital confirmed that the victims were still unresponsive.
Anyone with information or who witnessed to crash is asked to contact the RCIPS at West Bay Station on 949 3999.
How does a vehicle has to look like in order to meet your criteria of getting injured?
I hope both injured in this accident will have a quick and full recovery.
It doesn't . Sorry if I caused offence. My point was that the report states that the vehicle suffered major damage, which does not appear to be the case, based on the photos. Either way, serious injury resulted and I wish the victims and their families well.
Looking at the pictures on the Cayman27 website, I do not see a vehicle with "major damage". I see a vehicle with a broken windshield, bowed inwards. There is no evidence of a sudden frontal impact to the bodywork. I would have expected the occupants to have been able to walk away.
If it wasn't for the details given by the police, I would guess that the injured parties were pedestrians who were struck by the vehicle and who smashed into the windscreen.


FRIDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER 2016 @8P.M.
This event is a great chance for all new members and old members to get to know each other with music on the night!!!!
So come on down to the Strand Theatre and get all the information on plots, characters, auditions etc.


It is clear that the United States armed forces are thinly stretched across the world, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan. With North Korea up to new nuclear shenanigans the US will have its plates full in the near future. Presidential elections in 2004 will make additional deployment of US reservist and other troops politically unviable. Of course this leaves the United States to re-deploy its forces into "flavour of the month" hotspots. There is an election in Taiwan round the corner too, and one can expect the Pacific fleet and forces to be moved in the Pacific rim area.
In such a scenario India needs to pragmatically examine the strategic implications vis-a-vis its own national interests.It needs to ensure that not only is Pakistan under constant pressure to arrest the jihadi elements within its territory, but also is bracketed on the western frontier by US forces checking the advance of neo-Taliban into Afghanistan. Notwithstanding the co-opting of a multinational force in Afghanistan, it is only the US which can successfully coerce the Pakistani military establishment to check the resurgence of terrorism on the Pak-Afghan border. It is therefore critical that US forces remain engaged on the Pak-Afghan front in the War against Terror. This will also mean that Pakistan's continued direct and covert support for jihadi elements will remain in focus in the West keeping the pressure on Musharraf regime. All this implies that Pakistan will not be able to go back to the pre-9/11 stand of providing 'moral support' to the jihad in Kashmir, as overwhelming public opinion and the perspective of the international community will not be sympathetic to this line of reasoning.
It is therefore in India's interest that the US does not divert its forces (and its strategic attention) from Afghanistan. If India is able to drive a strategic quid pro quo with the Bush Administration under which India can send its troops on peacekeeping duties in Iraq, in return for more intense US involvement in Aghanistan then it would be a win-win-win for India. US pressure on Pakistan implies less risk for Indian troops already engaged in anti-terrorism missions in Kashmir. The US government and public opinion is sure to see India as a strategic ally. From a commercial perspective, Indian firms could win some reconstruction contracts in Iraq, especially if this is linked to troop commitment.
Another key strategic ramification is the impact it will have on Pakistan's internal dynamic. It is sure to further squeeze Musharraf between US demands to contribute troops versus vicious domestic opposition especially from the religious parties. The events following 9/11 have begun to Pakistan to re-examine its ideological bearings. India's long term hopes for a peaceful co-existence with Pakistan rest on the chance that Pakistan will discard its misguided ideology which is based on hate. Any move to bring about circumstances when this can happen soon is in India's interest.
This is a strategic "inflection point" – an opportunity for India to seal a new partnership with like-minded states. The current stance of the Indian government is best defined as a reluctance to anger a future Iraqi regime at the price of alienating the sole present superpower. Pragmatism should rule.

Q: Sitecore: Template field source dynamic targetting based on current SiteContext Basically we currently have a multisite setup on a single sitecore installation. Thus we have a structure like this under the content node:

*

*Site 1

*

*Content 1

*Site 2

*

*Content 2

Now of course we wish to reuse our templates as much as we can so we would have a template like this:
Templatename: Webpage
Sections: Data
Fields: Title, Body, Image

Now for the "Image" field source we would set it to something like /Media Library/Images normally but since we have 2 seperate sites we wanted to mirror the structure in the media library as well like:

*

*Media Library

*

*Site 1

*

*Images

*Site 2

*

*Images

But how would we go about defining the source then on the template?

A: There are no easy way to accomplish what you want.
You have to overwrite "Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Image" with your own copy off that class.
Then rewrite most of the BrowseImage method, and find some way to select what path it should pick.
You also have to do that to the command "webedit:chooseimage", if you support webedit.

Interview: Levi Benton of Miss May I
By Kurt Anno on October 12, 2014
Louder Than Life Festival
Miss May I is a Metalcore band from Troy, Ohio. The term up-and-coming is a common description of this band. Their 5th record, "Rise Of The Lion", was released on April 25th of this year and the album was produced by Terry Date who has produced such acts as Dream Theatre, Soundgarden, Pantera, Deftones and Slipknot. The band performed on day 1 of the Louder Than Life Festival on October 4th. The weather was the talk of many due to a dramatic drop in temperature and windy conditions by daybreak on Saturday. As I filed into the venue, I was pleased by the size of crowd waiting for the gates to open at 11:00 AM. I could tell that this festival was going to rock. I was looking forward to one band in particular this day and Miss May I was that band. After walking around and checking out the venue, I headed to the the media area to have a chat with Miss May I's dynamic frontman, Levi Benton.
Levi Benton- Miss May I
ONSTAGE MAGAZINE: Levi, how did you like working with Terry Date on your latest album, Rise Of The Lion?
LEVI BENTON: It was awesome. It was cool to work with a legend like that because not only did we get to record with him, but we were always bugging him for stories about Pantera, Deftones and the other greats he has worked with.
ONSTAGE: There is definitely a lot of history there and the album sounds great by the way. You guys have some really devoted fans, how have you seen the fans change over the last seven years that you guys have been around?
LB: It's crazy. The biggest thing is the tattoos. We sort of promoted that on our record and it's sort of just crazy to me. To us, we're just dudes who got a record deal that were playing in basements and now people really like our band. It's weird to me because we are playing the same music we played in basements and we haven't changed at all.
ONSTAGE: How has the band evolved since things got going? You have made the statement that the new album is a conscious effort to be a little different.
LB: Our biggest thing is that we want to be diverse. We don't want to get stuck. At the end of the day we are just a long-haired thrash metal band. We're just a heavy band. But we don't want to get monotonous and boring. You can only be heavy for so long. So that's our biggest thing is that we try to change it up a little bit but stay with our sound and not lose our fans and everyone think that we got mushy and soft.
ONSTAGE: That sounds like a good formula. How have the fans responded to the new album?
LB: They are cool. It's diverse. So obviously there are songs we get backlash on and then there are songs people like. I think people weren't ready for us to do a diverse record up and down. Everyone is used to 110% the whole way through. But for us, we wanted to change it up. You can't make everyone happy. If we had made a full-on heavy record, people would say we wrote the same record again and if it's different, people would say to write it again.
ONSTAGE: What's your favorite song to perform live?
LB: Oh man. Hey Mister. The crowd goes crazy and that's usually our last song and I can like give it all and just break everything on stage and be like, "Okay. We're done."
ONSTAGE: How does your voice feel after a performance?
LB: It's actually not bad. I feel like it's sort of a callous now. Back when we first started touring, I would just get wrecked. But today, I'll play and then go party and watch all of the bands.
ONSTAGE: What was the intent with Rise Of The Lion?
LB: Just wanting to be diverse. Even the lyrical content we changed up. I feel I over-think stuff, but I didn't want to write the same record about me like the previous four times. This one was like letters back to fans. It's more of a fan-based record.
ONSTAGE: What do you see on the horizon for Miss May I?
LB: A lot of touring and a lot of writing. Now we have it set up so when we are off tour, we just write non-stop. Even though we just released a record, we are writing for the next record.
I had my schedule laid out for the afternoon. Miss May I would be playing at 4:15 and I made sure to work around that. Look for photos from the show.

Promoting honesty, integrity and transparency.

The Bad & The Ugly..
So according to the University of Amsterdam people will pay to be treated shabbily!
..snobbish, condescending salespeople at luxury retailers extract more money from shoppers than their more agreeable counterparts do.
In 2014, Anglian Windows and Safestyle UK both posted pre-tax profits in excess of £10 million each, as two of the biggest players in the game. Other well known players include Everest and Weatherseal.
So if you're looking for a window company, you might think going with the big guys would be a safe bet. After all, they've survived recessions and stood the test of time. Well, that may not be a good idea..
Many of the salespeople offered a lower price with a "credit deal" but working out how much you'd pay was incredibly difficult.
One Zenith salesperson asked the researcher to sign their name twice to confirm he'd told her the relevant information – a psychological technique to warm up customers.
This article from ft.com echoes my sentiments on double glazing sales tactics. It also highlights the lack of progession, even now, in 2016. Technological innovation is taking place faster than ever before. We have the internet, social media and are increasingly making purchases online.
Online retail sales are predicted to reach £52.25bn in the UK this year, a 16.2% increase on 2014 when the total stood at £44.97bn.
This equates to 15.2% of all retail sales in the UK..
So why let people do business with us in this way? Businesses that behave like this is the stone age should be left right there in that age. We can leave these kinds of business models right there by voting with our money. Don't give in to pressure and succumb to bully tactics.
These tactics are prevalent within the industry and are not exclusive to the major companies. The interesting thing is companies that use these tactics are the ones that are more successful! Let's change the way people do business with us and support what is good! Support your local trade and find that one company that cares about their impact on the community.
As a homeowner, replacing your windows is one of the most expensive jobs you're likely to face, which is why we're so disappointed to discover salespeople from the biggest names in the business making outlandish claims and using hard-sell tactics.
Peter Vicary-Smith, chief executive of Which?
Local firms rely on word of mouth for their reputation and in a small town they cannot afford to let this slip.
Those of us working outside the large double glazing firms continue to question how in today's information age and with more information available to consumers these sales tactics could possibly work.
We have long advocated that the traditional sales tactics of many double glazing salespeople are employed simply to secure a sale. Our view is that the reason these sales tactics came about is because of the commission only nature of double glazing sales that is still commonplace today.
The internet has evened up the odds. Customers are now as well, if not better, informed than sales agents.
Just send us an email by clicking the button above and we will send you the link in seconds.


The data says wages are going up, but for many of us, raises are hard to come by. Two economists explain why.
Rising inequality is one of the challenges facing the recovering U.S. economy, according to economists who spoke at the annual retreat known as Camp Kotok in Grand Lake Stream, Maine. While the July jobs report showed wages increased 2.6 percent over the past year, the strongest 12-month gain since 2009, that number doesn't tell the entire story. 'We're adding most of our jobs in low wage and low hour sectors,' said Megan Greene, chief economist at John Hancock Financial Services/Manulife Asset Management. 'So if we're adding all of our jobs at or slightly above minimum wage, people aren't getting much of a wage bump.' She added there's a 'global glut' of cheap labor. On the other side of the spectrum, those in high paying jobs are getting even more money, according to Amy Cutts, chief economist at Equifax. 'At Equifax, we have a database of employer provided wages. So we get to see the paystubs. What I'm seeing is that highly qualified, very strong people in their fields are getting stolen from other employers, and getting big bumps in wages.' Not so much, for everyone else. 'Think back to 2003. You'd come into the office, the phone was ringing off the hook (with) recruiters saying you know someone, I'm looking. No one's calling. I'm not seeing the LinkedIn (LNKD messages and all of that,' said Cutts. 'So it really feels to me like this economy is growing, but it's like this giant cargo plane that can barely get off the ground and it's still laboring to get some altitude.' Cutts and Greene spoke with TheStreet's Rhonda Schaffler.

Pro Circuit Qualifier Recap – StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor South America Qualifier
Favorable Odds: Team Odd (formerly Playmakers Esports) puts together perfect qualifier run to secure the South American slot at the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor
The last of the regional qualifiers for the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor has now officially come to a close, with the field of 8 teams for the season's third Minor now fully set. South American was the final region to conclude its qualifier run, with the field of 4 participating teams being reduced to just a single winner to carry the banner of South American Dota onto the Pro Circuit stage in Kiev. Of the 4 participating teams in this field, 3 of them (Thunder Predator, Team Odd, and rei do picolé) were returning teams from the previous Major qualifier, while the final squad (motoca_reborn) was making its first appearance in a Pro Circuit qualifier. When the qualifier had reached its end, it was Team Odd who stood victorious, as the squad claimed the sole South American slot at the Minor and will be making its way to Kiev in March in search of its first Minor Championship title and a place at the subsequent DreamLeague Season 11 Major. While Team Odd will be the lone South American squad advancing to the Minor, we will be taking a look at the overall performances of all 4 teams in this qualifier and what may come next for them. As with the previous recap posts for the last Pro Circuit qualifiers, we will be dividing the participants up based upon their final standings in this event.
1st (Qualified for StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor)
Team Odd
While the Playmakers Esports organization is no more, the team itself managed to live one as its entire roster was picked up by Team Odd before the start of this Minor qualifier. The team wasted little time representing its new organization with an impressive performance against its regional rivals, as Team Odd put together a perfect 6-0 run in this qualifier to claim the single South American slot in Kiev. Despite not losing a match its qualifier run, the path to success was not an easy one for Team Odd, as the team needed comeback wins and heroic performances across its entire roster in order to push its way to the top. Leading the way for the squad in this performance was its core trio of Kotarō Hayama, Jeimari, and Sword, as the 3 players combined to average 18.34 kills and 32.17 assists on just 10 deaths per game. While the team's last appearance on the Pro Circuit stage (as Playmakers Esports) was not overly successful, the hope is that this dominant showing at home will be able to fuel Team Odd to a strong performance as it returns to the Pro Circuit stage in March at the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor.
rei do picolé
The squad known as rei do picolé put together an attention grabbing performance in the recent Major qualifier, and while the team was unable to secure itself a place at the Major, it's play was strong enough to make it a noteworthy team in this field for the Minor qualifier. After putting together an impressive performance against its regional rivals, the team entered this event with some relatively high expectations as it looked to secure its first appearance on the Pro Circuit stage. While the team ended up finishing just short of the mark to qualify for a place in Kiev with a 4-5 record and a 2nd place finish, rei do picolé at least managed to impress us once again with another solid showing in this qualifier. One of the stronger aspects of the team's play in this event was the performance it got from its Carry/Mid duo, as Costabile and Lanaro combined to average 9.33 kills and 11.89 assists on 6.56 deaths per game across the team's 9 totla matches. Those numbers may not have been the highest that we saw in this round of regional qualifiers, but they do show that this rei do picolé squad could have a solid foundation to build on further down the road, if the team opts to remain together over the second half of the 2018-2019 season.
Thunder Predator
After making its Pro Circuit debut at The Chongqing Major in January, Thunder Predator was finally starting to look like a team that was ready to make a push for a spot as a leading team within the South American region. Though the team came up short in the recent Major qualifier, it still entered this Minor qualifier with reasonably high expectations of success. Unfortunately, the team was not quite able to live up to those expectations, as Thunder Predator posted a 3-5 record against its regional rivals to finish 3rd among the 4 participating squads. With an average game time of over 47 minutes, Thunder Predator was by no means an easy out across its 8 total matches, winning its series against motoca_reborn while losing to both Team Odd and rei do picolé. The overall result for Thunder Predator will almost certainly be looked at as a disappointment, but this squad still figures to be a potential contender within its home region moving forward as it looks to earn a return trip to the Pro Circuit stage in this second half of the season.
motoca_reborn
The team known as motoca_reborn did not come into this Minor qualifier with the highest of expectations, as the team did not have much experience together outside of its open qualifier appearances. The squad didn't end up pulling out any surprise upset performances against its regional rivals, but the team at least managed to put up a fight across its matches and even claimed 1 win in its series against Thunder Predator. The team's play as a whole was not overly impressive, but motoca_reborn did get a solid performance out of Arms, as the team's Carry averaged 5.67 kills and 6.83 assists on just 3 deaths per game through the course of the squad's qualifier run. Unfortunately, those numbers weren't enough to motoca_reborn into contention for the lone South American slot at the Minor, and now the question for this team will be whether or not it survives long enough to participate in the next round of Pro Circuit qualifiers sometime around the beginning of April.

Reign of Cthulhu: Augmented Reality Mobile Game that Uses Clothing
Dave April 18, 2018 Product Announcements5 views
Garden Grove, CA— April 18, 2018 – Every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. in their 2,000 sq. ft. sparse office space the six co-founders of WarePlai, LLC sit and devise innovative ways to bring people and communities together through Augmented Reality (AR). A communications professor, a former veteran turned Washington D.C. consultant, a filmmaker, a former APAC project manager recently from a 17-year stint in China, an investment author and former trader, and one of the first 30 game developers from Blizzard look to change the landscape of current human interaction by combining mobile gaming, AR, and apparel. The first of the four games they are developing, is Reign of Cthulhu, which debuts on Kickstarter May 1st.
Reign of Cthulhu is a bold new AR game built on the WarePlai patent-pending AR platform and inspired by the 1920's author H.P. Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos. While the app will be free to download, the apparel that you buy, initially t-shirts, along with real-world objects and physical locations will revolutionize and enhance your AR mobile app game play, to create a truly blended reality experience that all players can have fun and enjoy.
Players can use their current smartphone or tablet to discover, in AR, that every T-shirt is a portal. Inside every portal is a new world of characters and adventures waiting to be played. Multiplayer combat arenas open-up between each player through their device. The real world transforms into an augmented reality battlefield. It can be as big as a park, the size of your living room or as small as a kitchen table, you choose, placing you in the middle of the AR gaming action.
In Reign of Cthulhu, players team up to battle each other head-to-head for territory or go co-op against creatures and obstacles. Every player that wears a t-shirt can display their rank, win-loss record, special items all in AR for other fellow gamers to see. Each shirt has unique characters, weapons, and levels that are woven into the fabric of the game. You can play with people you know or instantly play with complete strangers that may also be wearing any one of the games original 12 t-shirts that will debut on Kickstarter.
Reign of Cthulhu players will discover AR portals scattered around the real world also. These AR portals act as virtual doorways to another dimension, the underwater city of R'ylah. which is the central focus of the game.
Reign of Cthulhu was designed and developed by gaming industry veterans with over 20 years of expertise earned by work on multiple AAA titles for Blizzard, Activision, Sony, and DreamWorks, including Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft franchises.

Watch These Adorable Swimming Robots Swim In Sync Like A Real School Of Fish

By Jack Dunhill
Robotics has come a long way over the past year. We've had robot dolphins designed to be petted to protect wild dolphins from captivity; robots made of ice built to explore distant planets; and a robot dance party that was simply awesome. These robots could help explore even the most inhospitable places, and now a new robot has been unveiled with that aim – and it's brought friends.
In a new study published in Science Robotics, a team of researchers has developed the world's first synchronized shoal of fish-robots, that require no external control to move together as one unit. The bots are not only impressively realistic, they're also pretty adorable too.
The team from Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have called their creation Blueswarm.
"Robots are often deployed in areas that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans, areas where human intervention might not even be possible," said Florian Berlinger, a PhD Candidate at SEAS and Wyss and first author of the paper, in a statement.
"In these situations, it really benefits you to have a highly autonomous robot swarm that is self-sufficient. By using implicit rules and 3D visual perception, we were able to create a system that has a high degree of autonomy and flexibility underwater where things like GPS and WiFi are not accessible."
Watch as the fish-bots form a circle swimming together below.

Making robots that truly mimic schools of fish is no easy feat. Despite consisting of sometimes thousands of fish in a single group, they can collectively move and change direction as if they are of the same organism. They do this with no communication between them, instead using spatial awareness and the position of their co-swimmers to decide their next move. Therefore, the researchers not only needed to create autonomous robots that can happily swim around in a 3D medium, the robots also need to be aware of each other and coordinate their movements.
To achieve this, each Bluebot is equipped with two cameras and three blue LED lights. The cameras detect the presence of lights around them, and thus the presence of a Bluebot, and calculates their distance and direction.
"Each Bluebot implicitly reacts to its neighbors' positions," said Berlinger.
"So, if we want the robots to aggregate, then each Bluebot will calculate the position of each of its neighbors and move towards the center. If we want the robots to disperse, the Bluebots do the opposite. If we want them to swim as a school in a circle, they are programmed to follow lights directly in front of them in a clockwise direction. "
Although it is a tech in its infancy and currently an early prototype, the fish swarm could have many practical implications. A dispersed school of fish-bots could offer enhanced search capabilities than current tech, with a larger space covered in much shorter times.
The team now hopes the Blueswarm can be developed further into robots that can help monitor fragile ecosystems with minimal intrusion, a mission sorely needed as many coral reefs continue to decline.


When you're juggling client deadlines, phone calls, meetings, walking one kid to school, driving another across town to school, and actually getting a workout and a shower, mornings can be kind of hectic. When mornings get crazy, what falls through the cracks? Breakfast. It's all too easy to skip breakfast or eat something crappy on the road… but your body needs breakfast. It needs fuel to keep you going and to keep your internal systems working properly.
I admit it. I used to skip breakfast all the time. But once I started cooking breakfast, using dinner leftovers and prepping/chopping vegetables in advance, I realized how fast it really is. We go from, "Ready for breakfast?" to "Ready to eat." in 10 minutes or less — and everyone has 10 minutes.
One of the Breakfast Scrambles I have been loving lately is this Kale And Balsamic Chicken Sausage Breakfast Scramble. We've made it several times now and I really love the flavor.
The secret is the O Organics brand Kale And Balsamic Chicken Sausages. They're Whole30 compliant sausages AND they're Brian compliant sausages. Brian eats no red meat or pork at all, ever. Never. No cheats. Not even sometimes. And that includes chicken or turkey sausages that have pork casings — even if I remove the casings — which eliminates almost all chicken and turkey sausages. This can make things tough.
Before Whole30, we just went with vegetarian sausages or bought turkey sausage patties. But with Whole30, we can't eat any grains and the brands we were buying all have grains. While there are a few other chicken sausage flavors that are Brian compliant, like O Organics Mushroom And Asiago Organic Chicken Sausage and O Organics Spinach And Feta Organic Chicken Sausage, Whole30 also means no dairy, so these flavors are out.
O Organics Kale And Balsamic Organic Chicken Sausage is the only sausage that is Brian compliant and Whole30 compliant — and if I don't want to dirty three pans, cooking two different types of sausages to combine with the vegetable scramble, I have to use the Kale And Balsamic chicken sausage. Luckily it's got a fantastic flavor and we both really like it!
Making the Kale And Balsamic Chicken Sausage Breakfast Scramble is quick and easy.
First, Cube the potatoes and place in the microwave to cook on the "potato setting." Then chop the onion, bell pepper, spinach, and tomato, and slice the sausages. Sauté vegetables in olive oil and add potatoes when done cooking. When the potatoes and onions begin to brown, add the Kale And Balsamic Chicken Sausage and sauté until the sausage begins to brown. Add the eggs, spinach, salt, and pepper. Scramble and serve immediately.

AP Explains: How the brief standoff between British and Iranian naval vessels in the strategic Strait of Hormuz could rattle global energy markets
Written by By The Associated Press
The brief standoff between British and Iranian naval vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday looks to renew concerns about the vulnerability of world energy supplies to tensions in the Persian Gulf region.
The British navy says it thwarted an attempt by the Iranians to impede the passage of a British oil tanker, a day after Iran warned of repercussions after its own supertanker was seized by authorities in Gibraltar for allegedly trying to breach European sanctions on oil shipments to Syria.
About a fifth of all oil traded around the world goes through the Strait of Hormuz, so any conflict could cause huge disruption to crude supplies for energy-hungry countries, particularly in Asia.
Here's a look at the crucial waterway and its importance for the global economy.
WHERE IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ?
The narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf is in the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. At its narrowest point the strait is just 33 kilometers (21 miles) wide. The width of the shipping lane in either direction is only 3 kilometers (2 miles). It flows into the Gulf of Oman.
About 20% of all oil traded worldwide passes through the strait. Some 18.5 million barrels of oil are transported through it every day from major OPEC producers Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
About 80% of that goes to fast-growing countries in Asia, including China, Japan, India and South Korea. The strait is also used to export about a third of the world's liquefied natural gas, from Qatar, the world's biggest LNG producer.
Anything affecting the narrow passage ripples through global energy markets, raising the price of crude oil. That in turn affects gas prices and the broader economy.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
The confrontation on Thursday comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran over the unraveling 2015 nuclear deal, which the Trump administration abandoned last year in favor of a campaign of maximum sanctions on Iran that have devastated its economy.
Both sides have taken steps in recent months that seem calculated to raise pressure on the other without triggering an all-out conflict. Iran has begun openly breaching limits on uranium enrichment set by the accord, saying the U.S. sanctions make it untenable.
The U.S. has meanwhile dispatched a carrier group, bombers and fighter jets to the region to counter unspecified Iranian threats. Iran shot down a U.S. drone last month that it said had veered into its airspace. The U.S. says the drone was in international airspace.
The U.S. has also accused Iran of being behind a series of mysterious attacks on oil tankers in the region, allegations denied by Tehran.
The maneuvers carried out early Thursday may have just been a show of force — Iran's Revolutionary Guard denied it had tried to seize any vessels. But the potential for miscalculation on either side remains high, and any escalation would place the region in even greater peril.

NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen -- a substance that could cause cancer -- based on results from laboratory tests. The presence of NDMA is thought to be related to changes in the way the active substance was manufactured.
"The FDA is committed to maintaining our gold standard for safety and efficacy. That includes our efforts to ensure the quality of drugs and the safe manner in which they're manufactured," said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. "When we identify lapses in the quality of drugs and problems with their manufacturing that have the potential to create risks to patients, we're committed to taking swift action to alert the public and help facilitate the removal of the products from the market."

Detroit Arsenal, WARREN, Mich. (May 2, 2016) -- Maj. Gen. Gwen Bingham relinquished command of the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command headquartered here to Maj. Gen. Clark W. LeMasters, Jr. in a ceremony held this afternoon.
In assuming command, LeMasters becomes TACOM's 35th commanding general. Gen. Dennis L. Via, U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) commanding general, officiated the ceremony. AMC is TACOM's higher headquarters.
LeMasters was named Bingham's successor in mid-February. He comes to TACOM from AMC, Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Ala., where he most recently served as Via's deputy chief of staff for logistics and operations.
LeMasters told the crowd, "I'm very proud and honored to take command of such a great organization. Gen. Via, thank you again for this opportunity -- command at this level is a great responsibility and huge privilege. I am prepared and committed," he emphasized.
"For the TACOM team," LeMasters continued, "your mission is unchanged -- to deliver the readiness our Army needs to perform its mission -- that is our #1 priority, and I know it is your priority every day. Remember we are here to support the Soldiers -- their lives and the freedom of the Nation depends on our Army's readiness. We, in partnership with every commander in the field, must ensure this rock solid readiness."
The new TACOM commander went on to say, " My guidance to the team is simple -- stay focused on your mission, continue the great support you provide daily, take care of your people and do the right thing -- not just the easy thing, but the right things. Right by those Soldiers who depend on us to deliver," he stressed.
Just prior to the change of command, Via awarded Bingham the Distinguished Service Medal for her tour as TACOM's commander. She led TACOM since June 2014 and is the first female to serve as its commanding general.
"Teammates, we've covered a lot of good ground together, and I'm humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve as one among you in support of every combatant command, our Joint forces teammates, Allies and partner nations who use our equipment around the globe," Bingham told change of command attendees. "As a direct result of your work, service members serving from coast to coast and around the world are better prepared to accomplish their multi missions."
She concluded her remarks saying, "never goodbye -- merely so long until we meet again, this the TACOM LCMC CG #34 … signing off the net. Army Strong!"
Bingham's next assignment has yet to be announced.
The TACOM Life Cycle Management Command is the only active-duty U.S. Army installation in the tri-state area (Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.) A global enterprise, its 19,000 military and civilian acquisition, logistics and technology professionals research, develop, procure, field, maintain, upgrade, modernize and sustain approximately 65 percent of the equipment an Army Brigade Combat Team uses.
The TACOM Life Cycle Management Team awarded in excess of $6 billion in contracts in Fiscal Year 2015, with $1.5 billion awarded to Michigan companies. Its 7,500 Michigan-based employees contribute significantly to the state's economy, wielding nearly $3 billion in personal spending power each year.

Fasting is a great way to begin a new fitness or weight loss program. Reducing or, really, eliminating food and beverages that contribute to weight gain will help to kick-start your efforts and has the added benefit of body detoxification and colon cleansing. Some people fast by only eliminating solid food from their diet, while others prefer to eliminate both solid food and all beverages except water. Which type of fast you choose really depends on your starting points and personal health considerations.
Typically, you can expect to lose up to two pounds per day during the first few days. However, you can also expect to have a constant feeling of hunger. This should dissipate about the third day of your fast. From then on, you can lose about a pound a day throughout your fast. During this time, water is your friend. A steady intake of water will help to alleviate some, but not all, hunger pangs, as well as "flush" your body and facilitate the removal of toxins.
Some people opt to drink water and organic, nutritious juices during their fast. Organic fruit AND vegetable juice will supply the body with vital nutrients and make the journey a little easier. Additionally, the immune system will be kept strong and the feelings of fatigue and lethargy will be somewhat less. If you go this route, you should drink both vegetable and fruit juices and it's best if you make the juice yourself from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Stocking up on sugar-laden, frozen orange juice concentrate is not really what I'm suggesting.

Enevate Adviser Shares Nobel
John Goodenough (courtesy Univ. of Texas-Austin)
John Goodenough, a member of Irvine-based Enevate's technology advisory board, has shared in the Nobel Prize in chemistry with two other scientists for the development of lithium-ion batteries.
At age 97, he is the oldest person to win a Nobel award.
Enevate works with lithium-ion batteries and is developing technology to recharge batteries for electric vehicles in a matter of minutes, and Goodenough is considered one of the chief innovators of li-ion battery technology.
After the award was announced in Stockholm Wednesday, Enevate CTO Ben Park said in a statement addressed to the winners that "it's not just battery industry people like me that can feel the impact" of their work.
"Anybody today can open their eyes and can spot at least one device with a lithium ion battery wherever they are in the world. Your contributions have made a lasting impact and continue to accelerate humanity's capabilities." Park said.
Goodenough joined the Enevate Technical Advisory Board in 2010. The other two winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry were Akira Yoshino and M. Stanley Whittingham.

Have you been to Zombie Toxin Haunted House? Then share photos of your experience!
Check our website schedule for our Halloween Town Event! Family fun and trick'r treating for ALL ages! Play games, win prizes and get free candy!
My wife and I decided to give this a try during our vacation and 100% loved it! We are both huge The Walking Dead fans and this definitely helped bring part of that experience to life! I would recommend this to anyone looking to get away from the casinos for a bit and have a good time. The actors were so into it. I've been to other experiences, where you can see the zombies in your next zone laughing and hanging out. It can take away from the experience. Not here. The actors are way into it, and you can tell they love what they do.
What a waste of time and money. It took us 2 hours to reach the venue and the lines were long. The prices have gone northward for nothing special. The fast pass had less waiting time; even then we had to wait around an hour. It was not scary at all. The zombies were looking great and they had cool decorations around but somewhere it kind of got repetitive and boring. Not coming back.
It was nightmarish at Zombie Toxin Haunted House. We had tough time with the staff and ended up in an altercation. There was line cutting which we complained about. It was totally disorganized. It was clearly said that a maximum members in a group would be 6 but that was not the case. We were scuttled off with a 12 member group and could not experience the haunts well. Left a very bad taste. Not coming back.
I've been to multiple haunts, but this is an exceptionally well-designed haunt. We got the general admission tickets and waited for an hour in the queue to get into the building. The site portrayed a true picture of evil captured building and theme story truly aligns the importance of aesthetically placed scary stuffs. Impressed by the turns and twists in the maze and right proportion of special effects was used. Hats-off to all actors as they never came out of character and scared us a lot. Overall, a great event to experience on weekends at low admission fee.
It was a fun time! Would love to do it again. The only snag was the time we waited to go in. We arrived there by 8 and it was almost 10 before we got in. The weather was cold and it wasn't cozy to stand for so long. Besides this, everything was awesome and we enjoyed a lot with the actors. Staffs were also nice and we had a great Halloween experience.
Much better than what I thought it would be. The staff was great and had plenty of security. They even had food trucks to grab a bite after or before the event. The actors were awesome and they stayed in character. The zombie makeup and costumes were surrealistic. They were courteous enough to take pictures with us after the scare. Great price too. Definitely recommend it.
This was my first visit to any haunted house and this place was so incredible. I've never imagined the kind of acts performed by the actors and actress during my walk-through inside the house. It was like a horror movie and evils were chasing behind me. All zombies were damn good in their quest of flesh and blood and ambiance inside the building portrays a true picture of laboratory and I strangled so many times. Honestly, I loved it!! Looking forward to such blasts next year too.
This was my gift to my hubby for our 1st wedding anniversary. We had a blast! You really get into the story and the action. They had very good production values as well. We also loved the guy whom ran our team. He went by Gator. He was engaged and funny. Adrenaline-packed, zombie-filled, door-kicking fun! I did love the fog part with the zombies and we would LOVE to go with friends on our next trip down.
The most amazing experience I have ever done!!! This is a great couple of hours. Staffs are well presented. Would definitely recommend, they say that this is sensory immersive and it truly is! The only "experience" that you are truly fully engaged in! The experience was enjoyably terrifying with the zombies being very in your face scary. They are experts, great actors, funny, and certainly entertaining. I loved everything about this place. If you are on the fence, do it.
Actors did a real good job in scaring the wits out of everybody. We enjoyed it the most. We had to face the world with a single glow stick, it was pretty cool. Halloween town was fun for the whole family. Had great time at the laser maze and the gallery, it was fun at carnival games and trick and treats had yummy food and beverages. All the more a great family friendly event.
Absolutely love this haunted house! The continuous jump scares, the creepy effects, and everything makes it worth every penny I spend! I have gone for 4 years straight and I'm still going every year no matter what!
Not very frightening. More like sensory overload; way too much noise, and not enough real people on the interior. Crew members were very nice. Very cool character (male Nun) outside though!
We had a blast this year. Keep it up, you are all great.
Just went to zombie toxin for the first time tonight, and it was amazing! Everything from the little attention to detail to the profession of the staff was spot on. Zombie toxin definitely just got a repeat customer.
Best haunt to go to hands down. Definitely recommended.
This haunt is amazing! The level of detail is incredible. If you only go through once you'll miss 80% of the little details that make this place great. The actors aren't a random assortment of people. I get the impression that they've been through training to do it right. they stay in character at all times making it easy to lose yourself in the world they've created.
The Doctor Is The Best!!
I love Zombie Toxin! The 2015 season was the best by far!! I nearly passed out when The Doctor came out after us and tried to turn us in to Zombies!!! Can't wait for this year's "check up"!! PLEASE DON'T TRAP US DOCTOR!!!
It is the worlds greatest haunted house.
