Combining the same tasks mean keeping the same kind of tasks in the same group. When you combine same tasks, then you don't need to switch yourself again and again from one task to another and you can simply get the things done by staying focused on the same type of stuff until it's done. When you do all the same things at once, at least then you have the idea that now you need to move forward to more things and this is how you can equally focus all the important activities in social media management.
Responding to the customer's queries and being in contact with them is really very necessary and it can also be time-consuming. To help yourself from spending so much time on such activities, you can install a chatbot on facebook messenger to automate the replies to the audience queries. It just takes some minutes to create a facebook chatbot. It would be helpful for you in saving time as well as keeping you in contact with the audience.
It's important to do post planning by using a scheduling calendar or any other tool that can help you in planning your posts smartly to be more effective in posting contents.
Most of the social media accounts focus on uploading new unique contents but it is also necessary to use the evergreen material in your contents. You can re-promote the pre-existent relevant contents on social media.
Automation is a key to success for social media managers as it helps a lot. There are several automation tools like Zapier and IFTTT which could be used to get help in busy schedules. These tools help you in resharing the posts automatically even when you are busy.
Whenever you are writing a content or even texting with one of your colleagues, you might have a thought that this is more than you wanted but the fact here is that your effectiveness and concentration somehow vanishes when you are in that state. You need to avoid multitasking to have better results of the things you are doing. Whenever you are doing multiple things at once, you lose your cognitive focus and you can't even do a single thing well.
You need to have a complete overview of your social media performance to access whether you are working efficiently and effectively. Focus on the things which are better like getting cheap instagram Followers and which grant you effective results. You can study analytics related to trends and performance so that you can enhance your skills.

Through the music, we can learn much about human beings at their starting points and about the human mind. Music is a protentional strategy for treatment and methods for getting animating cerebral circuits. There is likewise a relationship between melodic imagination and psychopathology and psychological issues.
One of the contrasts between the created brains of Homo sapiens and those of the immense primates is the expansion in region dispensed to preparing sound-related data. Along with these lines in different primates, the extent of the visual cortex relates well with cerebrum estimate in Homo sapiens it is littler.
Conversely, increments in estimate somewhere else in the human cerebrum have happened, outstandingly in the transient flaps who is particularly the dorsal territory that identifies with the sound-related gathering of discourse. The extension of essential and affiliation sound-related cortices and their associations which is related with the expanded size of the cerebellum and zones of prefrontal and premotor cortex connected through basal ganglia structures and proclaimed a move to a feel considering the sound to capacities to entrain to outside sources of info.
The main melodic instrument utilized by our precursors was the voice. The ear is constantly open and not all like vision and the eyes or the look, sound can't promptly be deflected. From the musical pounding inside and with the mother's body for the embryo and youthful baby to the crude drum-like thumping of sticks on wood and hand applauding of our juvenile and grown-up proto-talking predecessors with the developing newborn child is encompassed by and reacts to cadence.
The connection amongst the music and feeling appears have been acknowledged forever. Plato considered that music played in various modes would stimulate diverse feelings and as a consensus, the clear majority of us would attract to the passionate essence of a specific bit of music regardless of whether it will be upbeat or tragic for the instance significant harmonies are seen to be chipper minor ones. The beat or development in time is another part of slower music appearing to be less cheerful than quicker rhythms. This advises us that even the word movement is a critical piece of feeling in the move we are moving as we are moved candidly by the music.
Confirmation of recommends that music can diminish seizure recurrence stop status epilepticus and diminish electroencephalographic spike recurrence in kids with epilepsy in conscious and resting states. We realize that numerous individuals with epilepsy have electroencephalographic anomalies in a few people which can be 'standardized' by music. Notwithstanding the requirement for preliminaries of melodic mediations in epilepsy, we thought to likewise consider whether the after-effects of sonification of an electroencephalogram, which straightforwardly mirrors the time course of cerebral rhythms which might be utilized to entrain 'typical' mind rhythms in individuals with seizure issue.
The Adjustment of the electroencephalogram by means of biofeedback of various segments of sonic field electroencephalography or balance of the melodic contribution to influences the enthusiastic condition of the patient and cerebral and limbic movement and cerebral rhythm which are helpful potential outcomes.
Being physically and mentally healthy are two main things that every person should go live a good life but in terms of physical health many people and different brands for long have been manipulating people to be in that certain shape which is just attractive to the world and the health does not come in priority which should be the top most thing if you are talking about physical health or you doing business related to physical health. For so many years, it has been injected in our minds especially in women to be skinny like being skinny indicates having a healthy body.
There are other movements that are nowadays popular in the world. These movements emphasize on the diet issues and creating a certain diet that will help you in being fit. The problem with these movements are they are stated as being generalized which is wrong. Every person's body reacts to every diet in a different way. Every person has to go on a different level of hard work to be healthy.
Being healthy is not to be skinny. It is more about how you feel about your body, if you feel comfortable about your body and you can easily go through different activities in your life without having any issues then it is no problem. You have to be healthy in whatever physical shape you are. So for to build up a confidence for those people who are fat there is movement known as the "Fat in public". This movement sends the message to the different societies to accept the fat people, to end the discrimination that is done with fat women and men. Brands have to start taking a step to end this discrimination because they are the main culprit that influence the societies around the world, giving them the wrong impression of being healthy and beautiful.
Movements like these "Fat in public" will help a lot of people who face discrimination daily just because they are fat, constantly listening from people to go for exercise, to eat well. People will not be attracted to you. Fat people have to go through this daily in their lives so this movement helps them to have confidence in themselves which will ultimately make you feel beautiful in many ways. This movement adds more, like to end the word "Fat" as an insult. To create confidence in yourself you have to be true to yourself first and by being true to yourself means owning that word "Fat" because there is nothing wrong being fat as long as the person is feeling good about him or herself.
Many critics are going for that these movements are encouraging people to be unhealthy but this is not true at all, it is more about telling people to stop pushing themselves to the extent where they literally lose their way in being healthy and damage themselves in terms of physically and mentally so that is why people have to be happy in whatever shape they are.

The electronic ignition on a Charbroil grill allows you to light the grill without matches with the push of a button. After a few seasons, you may notice the grill not lighting consistently or not lighting at all. This may indicate that there is a problem with the grill's electronic ignition. By testing the grill's ignitor and following some basic techniques, you should be able to have your Charbroil electronic ignitor lighting the grill in no time.
A working ignitor will get you grilling with less fuss.
Ensure there is propane in the tank. Check to make sure the regulator is attached properly and the connection is tight. Use a match to light the grill. After the grill is lighted, turn it off.
Inspect the electronic ignition unit. Push the ignitor while inspecting the tip of the electronic ignition's electrode.
If you see a blue light when testing the ignitor, make sure the tip of the electrode is 1/4 inch from the port opening of the burner. Clean the tip of the electrode with alcohol and try to light the grill. If this does not work, contact Charbroil Customer Support or purchase a new electronic grill ignition kit. A link to the Charbroil website is in the Resource section.
Remove the ignition button and battery.
If rust is visible in the battery compartment, clean away the rust by spraying WD-40 or a similar water-displacing spray on a cotton swab and rub the base of the compartment to remove the rust. Replace the battery and ignition button and try to light the grill.
Locate the ignition wire and make sure it's not touching metal. Reposition the wire if necessary and try to light the grill.
Make sure the tip of the ignitor's electrode is 1/4 inch from the port opening of the burner. Clean the tip of the electrode with alcohol and try to light the grill.

Hulu's Win-Back Email Shows Customers What They're Missing
The subscription television service uses email to get customers streaming back.
Mailer Name: Hulu
Date Emailed: May 21, 2017
Launched in 2008, Hulu was known for years as a next-day option for original network programs as well as more vintage content. It is owned by several legacy networks, like NBC, ABC, Fox, and Turner Broadcasting.
But with a subscriber base smaller than that of its chief rivals – Amazon and Netflix – the service has begun to produce its own programs. And that's an important selling point, especially to viewers who think they've literally seen it all before.
"Get 30 days free when you come back to Hulu" says the subject line for this email sent to a former subscriber. All by itself, that might not be enough to deserve a second look, or even an open.
But the image at the top of the email shows Elisabeth Moss from Hulu's biggest original show yet, The Handmaid's Tale. The adaptation of the Margaret Atwood novel has cut through much of the considerable clutter in pop culture. And while its popularity may not last, the exposure may result in a bump in subscribers.
"THERE'S SO MUCH streaming on Hulu" the headline screams. A call to action button repeats the offer for a free month. A short paragraph reminds the former subscriber of the wide variety of programming carried on the service. And its offers another, new reason to come back: "a more personalized way to watch everything you love" on multiple devices.
Much of the rest of the email promotes some of the series and movies running on the service. Each is represented by an image, as well as a reminder that it's available "now." Clicking through any one takes the customer to a landing page where they can select from 2 options to resume their subscription and get a free month.

Weekend a moment to remember those who died in Bali bombings
Relatives and survivors of the 2002 Bali bombing victims gather in front of the 2002 Bali Bombing memorial Monument during the 12th anniversary in Kuta, Bali, Indonesia, 12 October 2014.

AUSTRALIANS paused at the weekend to remember those family and friends who were killed in the Bali terrorist bombings.
It has been 12 years since three terrorist car bombs were exploded in the Kuta nightclub district of the popular tourist destination.
Eighty eight Australians were among the 202 people killed when bombs exploded at Paddy's Bar and the Sari Club on October 12, 2002.
A further 240 were injured in the attack.
Memorial services were held at Kings Park in Perth and at Coogee Beach in Sydney to mark the anniversary.
Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop said on Sunday the senseless attack has had a profound and lasting effect not only on the survivors, families, and friends of the victims, but also on the wider Australian community.
"The bombings of 2002 and subsequent terrorist attacks have also brought Australia and Indonesia closer together in our determination to eradicate the threat of violent extremism in the region and globally," she said.
"This is an opportunity to remember those who suffered and died, and my thoughts are with all who continue to grieve for their loved ones.
"We also pay tribute to those who survived and who have courageously rebuilt their lives." - APN NEWSDESK.

Katy B.
Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland
It was late July and 28 year-old Katy was preparing to return to college. The only thing dampening her joy was a worsening headache accompanied by double vision. Her doctor ordered an MRI, and Katy learned the unthinkable: she had an inoperable, brain-stem glioma.
Wikipedia's summary of this devastating tumor reads: "Brainstem glioma is an aggressive and dangerous cancer. Without treatment, the life expectancy is typically a few months from the time of diagnosis. With appropriate treatment, 37% survive more than one year, 20% survive 2 years, and 13% survive 3 years."
The fulcrum on which Katy's world rested now shifted - - dramatically, inexorably.
Days after the MRI, Katy started radiation treatments at St. Vincent Medical Center under the careful watch of radiation oncologist Eric Hanson. Because the tumor could not be surgically removed, radiation therapy was administered with the goal of damaging or shrinking the tumor. As often happens, some healthy brain cells were also damaged.
The tumor, radiation, and underlying myotonic dystrophy (a progressive disorder involving muscle
degeneration) all combined to send Katy's health in a rapid downward spiral. She tearfully remembers the day she told her dad, "Please help me find the light. I am dying." Unable to breathe on her own, Katy was placed on a ventilator. More complications followed: a heart arrhythmia (irregular heart rate), steroid-induced diabetes, a collapsed lung, a bleeding disorder. Katy was hospitalized at St. Vincent for nearly a month. Eventually she stabilized and transferred to Vibra Specialty Hospital.
Painfully aware of Katy's poor prognosis, one of Vibra's hospitalist quietly observed "This is a very bad tumor," as though setting the solemn tone for what medical textbooks said lay ahead for young Katy. Vibra's pulmonologist, too, was concerned, fearing that Katy would never be freed from the ventilator. Nevertheless the staff at Vibra worked tirelessly to strengthen Katy with vigorous physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and to reduce her dependence on the ventilator. Amidst tears of both sadness and joy, Katy was discharged home 2 months later, with round-the-clock care from her mother, father, brother Tom and Aunt Trish for Katy's ventilator needs, tube feedings, medications, and all activities of daily living.
Although Katy did in fact have a long and protracted illness requiring subsequent hospitalizations, she took her first steps 9 months after her diagnosis. Two years later her feeding tube was removed, and the tracheostomy was surgically closed. Today, three years later, Katy continues to beat the odds.
For those who are superstitious, 13 is an unlucky number. For Katy, 13 is the most providential number there is, for she is among the 13 percent to survive, now 3 years after diagnosis.

Is there any significance between God's order to Saul in 1 Samuel 15:3 and Saul's order in Nob per 1 Samuel 22:19?
I was wondering if there is any parallel between Saul's command by God (which he disobeyed):
Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'" - 1 Samuel 15:3
and Saul's order later on against the city of Nob...
18 Then the king said to Doeg, "You turn around and attack the priests." And Doeg the Edomite turned around and attacked the priests, and he killed that day eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod. 19 And he struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; also oxen, donkeys, and sheep he struck with the edge of the sword. - 1 Samuel 22:18, 19.
In both cases, the order was to kill men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. Is this just a coincidence?
1-samuel
Dottard
MurielMuriel
There is a similarity between the two events:
Saul was involved in both - in the 1 Sam 15 he disobeyed God by not destroying the Amalekites; in the 1 Sam 22 Saul also disobeyed God by killing priests and their families
There are significant differences between the two events as well:
The order to destroy was given by God in 1 Sam 15 but in 1 Sam 22 the order to destroy was given by a crazed human
In 1 Sam 22 the priests had done nothing deserving of death; in 1 Sam 15 the Amalekites had had 400 years of God's patience and deserved to be destroyed
In 1 Sam 15 Saul is instructed to kill foreigners; in 1 Sam 22 Saul issues an order to destroy the priests of his own people!!
The order in 1 Sam 15 was given after much consideration (by God) but in 1 Sam 22 the order to destroy was given in a mad, unreasonable rage!
The incident is one in a series of very sad incidents in the second half of 1 Samuel that document the pathetic descent of king Saul into complete insanity culminating in his suicide.

Did Doeg the Edomite kill the whole town of Nob single-handedly as alluded in 1 Samuel 22:19?
Was David responsible for Saul's insane order to slaughter everyone in the city of Nob (1 Sam. 22:22)?
Was Saul's slaughter of the city of Nob a fulfillment of the curse on the House of Eli the priest (1 Samuel 2:27, 31-34)?

Pain Science, and thus modern physical therapy talks about how perceived threat reduces pain and movement thresholds.
Thus, it is highly recommended to use Therapeutic Neuroscience Education to educate the patient on what pain is, and what pain is not. More importantly, what may constitute a threat? Many who have embraced modern pain science, including myself occasionally forget there are real peripheral and physical threats, in addition to the obviously important neurotags the patient may have.
I say "usually" to the above, because no one can really prove exactly what is threatening to the patient. Also, if their neurotags enhance the threat regarding a pelvic rotation, rib being out of place, etc, you may need to "address" that threat as well. Heck, I do not even really believe in ribs being out of place anymore, but that does not mean it didn't happen to me!
Bottom line: Assess the threats and address them!

DC Moore Gallery is pleased to present Robert Kushner: baroque. In this exhibition of new paintings, Kushner fuses plant forms with references to the global history of ornament to extend his exploration of the conceptual and political implications of the decorative. A catalogue with an essay by Faye Hirsch accompanies the exhibition.
The scale of the paintings on canvas situates us in an immersive landscape where flora takes on the presence of sculpture. Kushner achieved the animate quality of individual plants, including quince, phlox, and Queen Ann's lace, by working from life in Waldoboro, Maine. Memories of the Huntington Library Botanical Gardens, near his childhood home in California, inspired the renditions of cacti and aloe. Kushner's inimitable use of color freely ranges across metallics, pastels, and near-neons. The painted plant forms materialize out of what Hirsch describes as "optically complex passages" created by the comingling of marbleized, aqueous grounds, dense bands of color, and luminous patches of gold and palladium leaf. Textiles, Japanese screens, and modern painting inform these compositions and the play with space.
In the paintings on paper, Kushner pieces together antique papers and other found fragments to create an all-over field of diverse information on which to paint. Huntington Library Cactus Garden II (2014), for example, aggregates text and images from at least seventeen sources in nearly as many languages. Untold scripts, patterns, and messages converge and compete with the mark making of the artist. Kushner distances his practice of collage from the topicality that interested the Cubists: "instead of tying my pieces to one point in time, I want to make them as diffused and confusing as possible. I want the viewer to time travel."
Robert Kushner has exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Solo exhibitions have taken place at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, and Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art. His work is featured in public collections such as The Museum of Modern Art, NY; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Tate Modern, London, UK; and Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy. Publications on Kushner's work include the monograph Gardens of Earthly Delight (Hudson Hills Press, 1997) and Wild Gardens (Pomegranate, 2006). In 2012, Kushner edited an important volume of art criticism by Amy Goldin (1926-1978) titled Amy Goldin: Art in a Hairshirt (Hudson Hills).

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rebekkah Brunson is the first Minnesota Lynx player to be named Western Conference player of the month.
Brunson led the WNBA with 11.7 rebounds per game in the month of June and also averaged 12.1 points to help the Lynx get off to a franchise-best 6-3 start.
Brunson tied a league mark with six straight double-doubles, highlighted by 22 points and 14 rebounds in a win over Seattle on June 9.
She received the honor Wednesday.
Brunson says it is an honor to be recognized as the conference's top player for the month of June. She says the team success the Lynx are enjoying makes it even better.


The H.J. Heinz Co. has decided to embrace the trend toward consumers using vinegar as a natural cleaning product.
The Pittsburgh food company said it is bottling 1-gallon jugs of "Heinz All Natural Cleaning Vinegar," a new product that promises to be 20 percent stronger than traditional distilled white vinegar, according to the company. The suggested retail price is $3.79.
The company has sold vinegar for more than 140 years. The company said it now makes more than 7.5 million gallons of vinegar annually for American households.
Heinz is suggesting that the more powerful vinegar would be good for cleaning windows, glasses and laundry stains, among other things.
In recent years, online cleaning discussions have regularly mentioned vinegar as an option.
When dishwasher detergents changed not long ago to reduce phosphates, vinegar was recommended as an option for helping clean glasses or flush out dishwashing machines.
A company spokeswoman said the new product will still be safe for use in cooking, too.

I have been getting this error more consistently lately and it has been blocking some builds. Can anyone give me any hints based on this stack dump? I am using Bitbucket Cloud as source and Bamboo 5.14 on a Windows Server to build. Thanks in advance.


A good razor for a novice will be good for anyone, naturally enough, since for a novice a razor should be as comfortable as possible and not inclined to nick even if his technique is still imperfect, while also being quite efficient to minimize the number of passes and touch-up required. Some razors much appreciated by experienced shavers—the more aggressive Fatips, the Mühle R11, the slants, and others—I would not recommend to a novice, though naturally enough (this is shaving) some do think such razors are fine for a novice in that with them a novice will quickly learn good technique—or else. I suggest a more forgiving approach.
Back in the day, for many products the Sears, Roebuck and Co.'s catalog offered three versions: good, better, and best. I'm sure the upselling was intentional, but the categories stayed with me: "good" was enough to get by, "better" offered noticeable improvements, and "best" presumably could not be beat. In my recommendations here the "good" is a razor for the frugal shaver, the "better" is my usual recommendation, and the "best" is the "money is no object" razor for a novice.
For the frugal novice (or experienced shaver), I recommend a $3.50 razor (price includes shipping): the Dorco PL-602, a well-designed plastic razor currently sold on eBay. I find its feel and performance are excellent. I learned of this razor through the Sharpologist review by Victor Marks and immediately ordered one, and I'm pleased that I did. The PL-602 will also make a good travel razor: lightweight and easily replaceable if lost in transit or left in some hotel bathroom. At the price, one might even buy one simply to use as a change of pace, and it's a great razor to give to those you're trying to convert to DE shaving.
The razor I usually recommend for a novice falls between the "good" and the "best" in price and in quality of materials. For U.S. residents, I suggest the Maggard Razors open-comb head ($16) with one of the Maggard stainless handles. I like the MR7 ($16), but any of the handles will serve: they all have enough heft to balance the head.
For those who live outside the U.S., I recommend the Parker 24C (globalized link), whose head is quite similar to the Maggard OC head and which sells at about the same price of $30. The Parker 24C, like the Maggard OC, feels quite comfortable and performs well, but has a handle of plated brass rather than stainless steel and threading that makes it difficult to use the head with other handles. (I was unable to seat the 24C head on my Stealth handle, for example.) For these reasons I prefer to recommend the Maggard OC.
In a review on Wicked Edge, I explain why the Rockwell system seems particularly suited to the novice: he can progress through the baseplates as his skills improve and as he discovers his preferences. This is much the same advantage as an adjustable, but (a) the Rockwell is made of stainless rather than plated brass or Zamak; (b) the Rockwell system uses no moving parts so maintenance is minimized and mechanical failure doesn't happen; and (c) although it's easy to swap Rockwell baseplates, it's not so easily done as turning the dial on an adjustable razor: some novices, encountering common novice start-up problems as they learn prep and technique, tend to become obsessed with spinning the dial on adjustable razors, trying to resolve every problem by changing the adjustment setting. The Rockwell system encourages a more methodical approach to solving problems, most of which are due to prep, technique, and blade choice.
I have found all the Rockwell baseplates to be extremely comfortable (more comfortable than any of my adjustable razors) and highly efficient. I compared the Rockwell R1 and R2 baseplates to my Feather AS-D2, using a Feather blade because that's what I use in the AS-D2 and what I prefer in a very mild razor (e.g., the Gillette Tech, the Wilkinson "Sticky," et al.). The R2 worked fine, but the R1 turned out to be the closest match to the AS-D2 in terms of feel and performance.
After that test I moved to the Rockwell R5 and R6 baseplates, forgetting that the razor held a Feather blade. But there were absolutely no problems: even the most aggressive of Rockwell baseplates were quite comfortable and well-behaved, even with the Feather blade. Normally a Feather blade will not work well for me in even a modestly aggressive razor, like the Edwin Jagger. But with the Rockwell, I found the Feather completely comfortable even in the most aggressive baseplate. I have to attribute this to the Rockwell design.
The special advantage of the Rockwell for the novice is that the Rockwell, like an adjustable, offers a range of aggressiveness. A novice not only does not know what level of aggressiveness works best for him, he is also likely to find that the optimal level will change as his skills improve. For example, I advanced the setting for my Gillette Fat Boy from "3" to "4" to "5" over a period of a couple of years as my technique improved. And, as noted, the Rockwell's excellent design provides a comfortable and efficient shave with any of the baseplates.
DE novices today are lucky to have such a range of excellent choices of new razors. Obviously, vintage razors also offer good options, but some would rather buy a new razor than a used razor.
Note that with any new razor you must do some renewed blade exploration to find the brand of blade that works best for you in that razor. A brand that's best in one razor may not be best (or even good) in another. And with an new razor you must find the optimal shaving angle. Move the handle farther from your face (toward being perpendicular to the skin) until you don't hear/feel the blade cutting, the blade's edge having risen above the stubble. Move the handle a little closer to your face and when you hear/feel the cutting resume, you're close to the optimal angle. Play judiciously with the angle, back and forth, listening to the sound, and you'll soon discover the optimal angle.
Thank you for your suggestions, Michael. A lot has happened in the shaving world since you made your good-better-best recommendations for novice shavers, which leaves me wondering what you recommend now. I started out as DE shaver in the 60s and returned to it only last year. After a Maggard V3 and then a Rockwell 6C, I moved to a RazoRock Mamba, which might be the easiest razor I've tried. Certainly, it's the highest quality razor I've used, while also being economical. Would you recommend the Mamba to new users?
I'm compelled to mention that a relative novice can easily get the impression that being able to use an 'aggressive' razor is the goal and that either your technique or manhood is in question if you can't. While it's obvious (to me) that there are an infinite number of kinds of skin and beards and combinations thereof, it should be equally obvious that a razor with a large blade gap (how I define aggressive) is more likely to yield a cut or nick. For an example, try shaving with a butter knife (no gap) and then a single edge razor (infinite gap).
My goal is to choose the least gap that yields a successful shave. For me, choosing more gap than necessary is just dancing with the devil. And success to me is a smooth shave with very, very minimal to no nicking. I will say at this point that it is impossible to maintain "the angle" for every portion of your face. "The angle" being that magical position that gives a smooth shave and doesn't nick your skin. Your cheek is easy. Your jawline, under your nose, around your chin, the corners of your mouth and probably some more spots, not so much.
Where I'm going with this is to say that a Futur on 9 should not be anyone's goal, nor an ideal to which one should strive. I have found that a Rockwell 6S, using a #3 plate is nearly ideal for me. I can use any blade and achieve what I call a successful shave as defined above. I have no reason to push any adjustable to it's max setting or use a razor commonly defined by most as "aggessive", e.g. R41.
With respect to adjustable razors, I have repeatedly written that the goal is to find the lowest setting that works, not the highest you can stand. So I think we're on the same page here, though I think aggressiveness (a term I avoid because of its ambiguity: you'll note in the post I referred to comfort and efficiency and never mentioned aggressiveness) is more related to blade exposure than blade gap.
I appreciate the comment, but I don't quite see the connection to my post.
Love the Maggard razors head. A lot of value in them. Just grab the stainless steel handle and the 3 pack heads and you have variety of "aggressiveness". I like the v3 but I like to slap on the v2oc if I need to do a super quick shave.
Great piece. To me MIM and sintered parts are more than adequate for a razor.
I have been waiting for the Valiant adjustable but it appears Gareth has scooped the competition.

Late November marks the beginning of fall colors in western Japan, and there is no better place to enjoy them than Kyoto. This three-hour walking tour guides you through the city's northeast Sakyo ward without paying any entrance fees.
About a ten-minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station, follow Higashi Ichijo Street past the main gate of Kyoto University until it ends at the iconic orange gate of Yoshida Shrine. Pass under the second gate; a trail off to the right leads you in to a forested area before making a slight ascent.
Once inside the main gate, the garden of trees are in full color behind bamboo fencing.
At the bottom, continue straight, strolling down a quiet residential street toward Shinnyodo Shrine. Once inside the main gate, the garden of trees are in full color behind bamboo fencing along the trail transforms you to a poetic dreamscape. Explore the extensive grounds, which have plenty of beauty on offer (including the famed three-storied pagoda), for free. (Entrance to the inner chamber and gardens costs ¥500). Walk through a cemetery at the southern side of the shrine complex to get a birds eye view of the city, and descend down the steep steps to Komyo-ji Temple (光明寺).
From Komyou-ji, head southeast for fifteen minutes. At the entrance to Eikando Temple, find yourself caught up in the near hysteria of joy that comes from being confronted with such vibrant color freely on display. Even those who normally shy away from snapping photos may discover their inner artist. Suddenly the desire to capture and preserve the awe of Kyoto's color takes over, and there you are amid a crowd of young and old alike, stretching for the perfect shot. By all means, click away. But also remember, breathe it in, and smile.
Enjoy a matcha drink or amezake at Eikando.
At ¥1,000, the entrance fee to Eikando is steep, but on a peak day when the sun is shining, it is absolutely worth the investment. Go in the afternoon or come back early in the morning to beat the crowds. You'll hear cheery songs from the kindergarten on the complex; get a strong cup of the bitter green tea matcha or a sweet fermented rice drink called amesake in the sitting garden.
Ten minutes down the road from Eikando is Nanzenji, one of Japan's most important Zen temples. Go through the impressive Sanmon entrance gate and take in the central grounds at your own pace. Be sure to make your way to the brick aqueduct to wonder at the engineering feat of the Meiji period. Follow the narrow canal for a lovely forested walk (30 minutes) until you reach the Keage Incline. You'll wind up near the Keage subway station.
Throughout the day, enjoy the glowing autumn sunlight as it hits the leaves at such an angle as to set them afire, expanding our visual spectrum beyond its normal range and giving us, quite literally, an extra-ordinary experience.


If you're a grower, manufacturer or retail grocer, you shouldn't be thinking about me. I'm a baby boomer. Yes, I can spend a lot of money (just ask my wife), but my buying habits are outdated and, if you continue to solely gear your business towards my generation, you're going to have problems – and very soon at that.
As of 2016, the millennials surpassed the baby boomers and they are now the largest demographic buying group in the USA with over 75 million members. Millennials have a very different approach to the way they eat, research and shop for food. According to a recent article in Forbes, "millennials will only interact with brands that are open and transparent, stand for more than their bottom line, and address environmental and socioeconomic issues in the community." In other words, millennials not only want, but expect true transparency from the brands they interact with. If you can't deliver on that, they'll look elsewhere.
And millennials know where to go to get information. According to research from Label Insights, 76% of shoppers go online to seek out information when they don't find what they're looking for on a product's label. Additionally, 56% of millennials use their smartphone to look up product information while in the store. Why? Because they're interested in what they eat, they want more information than ever before and they value transparency. Label Insights' research indicates that "nearly all consumers – 94% – are likely to be loyal to a brand that offers complete transparency. Transparency is ranked the highest in a list of factors that motivate consumers to be loyal to a brand. And once a consumer has switched to a brand in favor of increased transparency, he or she is more likely to remain loyal long term." Consumers will even pay more for products that offer complete transparency and information about the products you sell.
But how can you provide them with product information if you don't have it?
When it comes to perishable products, technology can help.
Because consumers expect foods like fresh produce and seafood year around, supply chains have become extended and increasingly complex. Growers, manufacturers and retailers can provide "true transparency" throughout the entire fresh food supply chain to establish the history of the product from harvest or manufacture to retailer to ensure authenticity, quality, food freshness and safety. Accomplishing this requires all members of the supply chain to have access to every link in the chain so that everyone involved – including consumers – can have complete visibility into where food came from, and if it has been handled and distributed correctly.
Using IoT sensors throughout the supply chain to track and monitor authenticity, proper processing and handling can help provide true transparency. There's significant value in collecting origin and quality-focused data on its own, but analyzing, applying and making it broadly available is where the benefits accrue. As such, blockchain is rapidly emerging as an important enabling technology to utilize IoT data and make it completely transparent, delivering security and trust across the supply chain. But, blockchain should be viewed as a foundational technology and not a solution in-and-of itself.
The combination of blockchain and IoT data enables growers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers to collect and share data with consumers as well as improve decision making throughout the supply chain—thereby providing those millennial customers with the data they're craving.
For example, IoT sensors can collect data about fresh produce from the time it is harvested. You can collect insights on the field, the conditions and the processing and handling steps from field to distribution center to retailer – including end-product freshness – and then provide that information to your customers. Similarly, you can track the authenticity and handling of fresh meats and seafood, even if it is coming from the other side of the globe, and make that information available.
As millennials continue to become the dominant customer demographic, retailers are only selling themselves short if they don't give the customers what they want—data.
