It's that time of year again. Days get longer, nights become shorter, and of course the heat soars. I'm talking, of course, about summer. While it is many people's goal to look good for summer but the exercise shouldn't stop there. The summer is a great time of the year to take advantage of the clear days and exercise outside. However, there are some dangers to the warmer weather more intense sun. Let's look at some ways to avoid injury and still keep on track with your goals.
1. Use Sunscreen- There is no doubt the sun can damage our skin. We all know the feeling of sunburn and how uncomfortable and painful it can be. Not to mention, too much exposure to the sun can cause skin diseases such as skin cancer. One very simple way to avoid this is to use sunscreen. Using a sweat resistant sunscreen will ensure that the sunscreen will stay on and protect you. For days that you are outside for prolonged periods, make sure to reapply. One strategy to make sure you don't forget your sunscreen is to put it near the door when you leave.
2. Hydrate- Water is the most important thing we put in our body. With the heat rising, we will sweat more. This is a way for the body to regulate its internal temperature. If we don't have enough water in our body, we cannot regulate this. This leads to dehydration and could even lead to a heat stroke. To stay properly hydrated, make sure you drink before, during, and after exercise. You should be drinking 8 ounces of water every 15 minutes while exercising. The first sign of dehydration is feeling thirsty so make sure you drink even if you don't think you need to.
3. Ease into it- Make sure you give your body enough time to acclimate to the heat. Allow your body about 2 weeks to get acclimated to the increased temperatures. Shorter, less intense workouts and longer rest periods should be taken during this time. After that, your body should be able to perform well in the warm.
4. Dress for Success- What you wear can have a big impact on performance as well. Lightweight, breathable clothes are best for warmer days. Moisture wicking materials are great as they help to keep you cooler. Lighter colors will reflect the sun more than darker colors. Hats will also keep those with shorter hair from burning. Headbands will prevent sweat from going in your eyes as well. Sunglasses will also prevent your eyes from feeling the damaging rays of the sun.
5. Nutrition-Make sure you eat something as well before you exercise outside to prevent any nausea or dizziness. Having fruit can be a great way to stay energized and content during exercise.

Audi's New Technology Is the Beginning of the End of Traffic Lights
Cars could soon be crisscrossing in front of one another while barely slowing down.
by Michael Reilly
Audi has announced it is rolling out a feature in some of its new vehicles that allows them to communicate with traffic lights. It's a neat trick that customers might like: they can watch as a timer counts down until a red light turns green, or the system can warn drivers approaching a green light that it's going to change, and advise them to start braking.
It's more than just a gimmick, though. The death of traffic lights has been predicted for some time, and Audi's move is the first sign that their decline might come quickly.
Traffic lights are an imperfect solution for an imperfect world. We human drivers are forced to sit at red lights while a lane of crossing traffic gets the green, then another gets a left turn arrow, and then, finally, we can be on our way. It's bad for congestion on the roads, the pollution from all those idling engines adds up, and in the era of the smartphone there's no guarantee that someone in front of you will actually go when the light turns green.
Researchers have dreamed for years of the day when this crime against vehicular efficiency might be undone. Earlier this year, a team at MIT and ETH Zurich suggested replacing traffic lights with "slot-based" systems, similar to how airplane traffic is managed.
In their scenario, an autonomous car's onboard computer would communicate with a scheduling computer positioned at an upcoming intersection. The car would state its business—a left turn, say—and be assigned a precise time slot to pass through safely. It would then accelerate or decelerate accordingly to arrive on time. Using this setup, the researchers claim, they could double the capacity of a typical two-road intersection and get cars through with less hold-up.
This is similar to an idea floated back in 2009, when car geeks at the University of Texas, Austin, came up with what they called a "reservation" system, where cars could book appointments that allowed them to zoom through intersections.
Those are both interesting experiments. And while it may not be long until the first fully autonomous cars hit the road, it's going to be a long while before the roads are populated with nothing but well-behaved robotic drivers.
The UT Austin team has planned for this. Last year, they came up with a modified version of their reservation system designed to work in, shall we say, mixed company (meaning cars with no autonomy, regular cruise control, adaptive cruise control, or full autonomy). In their simulation drivers with, say, adaptive cruise control could press a button to request a reservation for an open lane in an intersection. If they happened to be near other cars with the same or full autonomy, they would link up and caravan through the intersection. If the intersection was occupied, the reservation would be denied, and the driver would be told to obey the usual traffic signals.
The Audi system doesn't go that far, but it's important because it represents a commercial rollout of vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Audi says it plans to build the communications capability into its Q7 SUVs and its A4, and that the traffic light feature will be available in five to seven U.S. cities.
Like vehicle-to-vehicle communication, in which cars talk to one another to smooth out traffic patterns, "V-to-I," as it's called, is a key technology for getting autonomous cars on the roads in large numbers. It will need to be ubiquitous before before traffic lights could ever be thought of as obsolete—but this could be the beginning of the end.

Going Solo on Sin Nombre
At the beginning of December I had to host Sin Nombre on my own – which led to a few technical issues! – but I think I still put together a pretty sweet show. You can check out the pod for this one below:
Sounds and Colours' Best Albums of 2019
As is always the case myself and the rest of the Sounds and Colours team (which just keeps on growing!) ran a poll to find out our favourite albums of the year at the end of last year, resulting in our list of the 25 Best Albums of 2019, a fine selection to some of the great things that came out of Latin America and its diaspora last year.
We also put together this Spotify playlist featuring tracks from our favourite albums:
New Role as Songlines News Editor
January 9, 2020 admin	Leave a comment
Very happy to say that I recently took on a new role as Songlines News Editor which means I will be in charge of putting together the News section of Songlines magazine every month, starting from the March edition.
So, if you have any ground-breaking and/or scintillating news on world music please send it my way.
Latin Jazz Article in The Vinyl Factory
A little while ago I wrote an article for the Vinyl Factory, picking out some of my favourite Latin Jazz albums, which has just gone live. This one got a little controversy on the Vinyl Factory Facebook page as some felt that Latin jazz should be limited to jazz focused on Afro-Cuban rhythms. This seems a bit restrictive to me, as it excludes all jazz made from across Latin America that takes its cues from elsewhere. Clearly, there is also an established genre of Brazilian jazz, which could have been excluded from this list, but again, by very definition, Brazilian jazz should be included within the genre as it's jazz that takes inspiration or has its roots in Latin rhythms and instrumentation.
See what I chose below:
An introduction to Latin jazz in 20 records
That Brazilian Beat
It seems I can never quite get away from Latin music (not that I'd want to anyway). While recently reading Ken Emerson's book Always Magic in the Air, brushing up on New York pop music from the 50s and 60s (songwriters like Bacharach and David, Lieber and Stoller, Goffin and King, and Mann and Weil) it was pointed out that the rhythm to Ben E. King's "Stand By Me", The Drifters "Under The Boardwalk" and The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" all stemmed from the Brazilian baião beat (written in Emerson's book as the Anglicised baion). Listening to these tracks now, this is blatantly obvious, but I guess I never put the pieces together. Just listen to that opening gambit from "Be My Baby" or the rhythm of "Stand By Me", whose scraper is clearly influenced by Latin music too:
Emerson puts the influence of Latin music on primarily Jewish songwriters and producers like Leiber & Stoller and Phil Spector as being down to their proximity to Latin communities, such as the Puerto Ricans, in New York, as well as the popularity of baião beat, which had arrived from Brazil. Little is said about exactly how this beat arrived in the US though some quick Google searches reveal that the performance of "El Negro Zumbón" in the 1952/53 Italian movie Anna may have been one of the first instances of it being heard in the States. Here's that track below:
I think I may have to do some more digging on how this beat, which originated in the north-east of Brazil, was defined and popularised by the rural singer/songwriter Luiz Gonzaga, reaching national fame there in the 40s and 50s, and then found its way north to become a hugely important rhythm in global pop music. Definitely an interesting avenue to explore.

Circulart in Medellín
In November I was excited to be invited to be a part of Circulart, a music industry event that happens every year in Medellín. I have been reluctant to go to too many events like this in the past, especially when they happen in Europe. However, any invite to Latin America is hard to resist, especially when it means spending a few days in Medellín too!
As part of this event I took part in a panel offering insights into the British music industry (with a target audience of Latin American artists, agencies and labels), and which I've included a few snazzy photos from below.
Panel discussion on the British music industry at Circulart 2018
The rest of the time I spent exploring Medellín, checking out the showcases at Circulart (which featured some really nice acts, of which Michi Sarmiento was a big highlight) and also doing a few interviews for future articles (of which I will write about on the blog). Here's Michi doing his thing:
Totally Tropicalia Playlist
A while ago I curated some playlists for Songlines for Apple Music. One of these has just popped up on the Songlines website, a selection of some of the best tropicália out there, with classics by Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes and Gal Costa as well as a few novel selections.
Here's the link: songlines.co.uk/explore/playlists/playlist-totally-tropicalia
Brazilian Vinyl in The Vinyl Factory and Long Live Vinyl
So back in November and December I spoke with a tonne of people about Brazilian vinyl and the outcome was two pretty sweet articles. The first was a look at the relationship between Brazil and Brazilian records, how Brazilians feel about the fact that the most expensive rare vinyl from their country is in foreign hands, about the styles of music that have taken off as a result of this search for Brazilian records by collectors in the US, UK and Japan, and about the independent record labels who are making it possible for new Brazilian bands to release their music on vinyl. This one was in The Vinyl Factory and you can read it online using the link below:
"It's about taking responsibility for our future": How Brazil is reclaiming its record culture
I also put together an article that looked specifically at the UK's relationship with Brazilian records, about how there became a thirst for Brazilian music in the 90s, and how that grew with people like Gilles Peterson, and about how now there are quite a few labels in the UK releasing Brazilian music. The piece features interviews with John Armstrong, Joe from Far Out Recordings, David from Mr Bongo, Gilles Peterson and Deejay Cliffy, as well as some help from Robert at Stern Records and a few other peops. That piece is in Long Live Vinyl issue 10 and can only be read if you get the magazine I believe. Here's the link to more info on the issue:

B+ Has A New Photo Book Out
There was a time when I bumped into B+ semi-regularly in Colombia. He was always at the side of Quantic, first in Discos Fuentes studio in Medellín while Quantic was working on the first Ondatropica album, then in Cartagena for the second-ever Ondatropica concert, and then a year later there he was again in Nuqui on the Pacific Coast for a festival, taking photos and videos that would eventually form the music video for a Nidía Gongora and Quantic track. So, it was nice to get the chance to interview him for the release of his new photo book, which not only features some of his work in Colombia, but also his more-famous hip-hop shots as well as some of the iconic musicians he's captured in Brazil and Ethiopia too.
The interview featured in The Vinyl Factory, as well as on Sounds and Colours. Check the links if you want to find out more about the book and B+'s work:

Meridian Brothers Articles in The Wire and Pura Mestiza
I've been a huge fan of Meridian Brothers for many years so it was a great pleasure earlier this year to chat with Meridian mainman Eblis Álvarez about his latest album, ¿Dónde Estás María?, which is a continuation of the work he's been doing, creating satirical, conceptual, very rhythmic work that equally draws from avant-garde ideas and Colombian mythology. In fact, on this latest effort he has stretched out even further to show an influence of pop, folk and guitar music from Peru and Brazil in his work. It's a special record so give it a listen if you haven't already. Here's the link to the album on Soundway Records.
The result of our chat was a feature on Meridian Brothers in The Wire #403 and also an article that's just been published online by Pura Mestiza, and that is available in English and Spanish.
I also asked Eblis to discuss some of the Brazilian records he has discovered on recent trips to Brazil (where he was touring with another band, Los Pirañas) and which you can check out on the Sounds and Colours website.
Check out the title track to the latest Meridian Brothers album below:

How to Get People to Do Stuff
How to Get People to Do Stuff by Susan Weinschenk can be seen as a guide to actionable psychology/behavioural economics. The book is full of tips and trick on how to get people to take action. It's quite high-level but does reference good sources (e.g. research by Daniel Kahneman). Here are the sections:
The Need to Belong
The Power of Stories
Instincs
The Desire for Mastery
Tricks of the Mind
I skimmed through quite some parts (and did look at the strategies) and now have 9 actionables to do for Queal.

The problem of high quality training samples and high-dimensional data is encountered in high-resolution image change detection. To address these problems, a novel automatic change detection algorithm in bitemporal multispectral images of the same scene using multiindex information is presented. The conspicuous advantages of the proposed algorithm are: (i) the complicated urban scenes are represented by a set of low-level semantic information index (e.g., textural and structural features), the information indices can directly indicate the primitive urban classes and (ii) change detection is carried out automatically using unsupervised approach. The multiindex information map contains vegetation, water and building extracted using enhanced vegetation index, normalized difference water index and developed efficient morphological building index respectively. The proposed algorithm is validated on the multitemporal Landsat ETM+ images over Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India where auspicious results were achieved by the proposed method. Moreover, the traditional method based on the pixel based change detection has also been implemented for the purpose of comparison to further validate the advantages of the proposed model.

Scientific evidence from Mr. David Woroboff suggests that telehealth may provide improvements in pain
davidworoboff
Can a therapeutic specialty such as physiotherapy be carried out online? Partly yes. The telemedicine specialist David Woroboff is carrying out tests to implement a virtual assistant that improves and accelerates the recovery process in musculoskeletal injuries.
This project was born to find innovative and disruptive technology-based solutions in electronic health, one of the areas in which digitization is advancing at the highest speed. Since the pandemic broke out, it is increasingly common for medical consultations to be carried out through what is known as telemedicine.
David Woroboff defends the possibilities of using telemedicine in physiotherapy. Through its pre-diagnostic technology, it can segment users by pathology and by its severity.
In this way, those with minor ailments such as muscle overload, neck pain, low back pain, etc., can obtain their personalized exercise program directly from an application. Meanwhile, those users with more serious pathologies such as sciatica, fractures, cervical sprains, or others are referred to the corresponding health professional.
Access to medical programs
The expert David Woroboff explains that to verify the scope of the applications, all types of users have participated in the pilot experience. Initially, two profiles of potential users were segmented: one younger and a sports fan, and another more senior concerned about their well-being. If one had to be highlighted for their involvement and adherence to treatment, those users with office work, with significant responsibility and a heavy workload, would stand out, clarifies Woroboff.
He points out that the programs most requested by users are usually those related to cervical and lumbar pain associated with maintaining prolonged postures in front of the computer. In this sense, he adds, teleworking has significantly influenced the number of programs downloaded to alleviate this ailment.
To adhere to therapeutic exercise
Scientific evidence from Mr. David Woroboff suggests that telehealth can provide improvements in pain, physical function, and disability similar to those achieved with the traditional model in people with musculoskeletal conditions. In addition, he defends that online consultation has been observed to increase patient adherence to therapeutic exercise.

Thanks for sharing so much detail about your sales figures, its interesting to see how they break down. Mine are children's picture books so in many ways the panorama is very different but I eagerly follow your posts because they are always substantial. Thanks. Beck.
It's always a joy to learn from these posts! I visit the Creative Penn daily to learn!
This data is so helpful, especially regarding ebook sales. Thank you! And congrats for adding your husband to the business. So cool!
I found your website a few weeks ago while searching for Scrivener tutorials. I can not express how thankful I am that I found you. Your advice is priceless. I have since bought all but one of your non-fiction books. I got print versions because I prefer to read non-fiction that way.
I have also purchased Desecration and taken advantage of your free ebooks. You have changed the way I think about self-publishing. I do have a traditional book deal, but I have so many other ideas that I will definitely be going down the self-publishing route, once they are ready.
Love this, Joanna! Thank you for sharing! It really IS possible for writers to prosper and live off their writing!
absolutely 🙂 I know you know this too!
Great blog Joanna, a lot of useful figures in there.
Do you have any personal tips on finding the right affiliate deals?
Basically I promote any services I think are useful and that I use myself – which is basically my criteria for choosing affiliates.
Thanks so much for sharing this encouraging information and "opening" your books for us. A rising tide raises all ships and that includes us as indie authors!
Congrats, you deserve all of this for the hard work and value you bring.
It's so exciting to see how you have progressed and are now able to have your husband working with you in the business!!!
Cool! I've been a casual observer, but supportive, of the whole indie author movement for a few years now. I'm now taking far more positive steps to move myself in that direction. Always good to learn good info like this.
One thing that has moved me in this direction is something said by a writing friend — he's a professional novelist/editor of the traditional variety. He recently made a comment that moving to indie is really only helpful/beneficial for traditional writers who already have an audience, that if you haven't an audience, it won't do you any good. Total rubbish, of course.
What really convinced me that he knew less about indie publishing than I did, however, was when I discovered that he had 5(!) novels that are out of print, and the rights have already reverted to him. Has he taken advantage of the e-publishing revolution, though? Absolutely not. This makes no sense to me. Although 20 years old, these novels are perfectly fine. I've read one of them, in fact. They've already been edited, so he doesn't have that expense. All he needs to do is to have fresh cover art created for them, and have them converted to ebook format. And — voilà! — he has five new streams of income from those books. Convert them to audio books, and there's another small income stream from each book.
Instead, his books are being sold as used copies via Amazon, earning OTHER people money and nothing for himself. Ridiculous. But, hey, if that's how he wants to do it, good for him. I wouldn't do it that way.
I attended the online conference Chandler Bolt put together. I really enjoyed your interview and the things you said, as well as the great information put together by Nick Stephenson. I'm now hard at work on some short stories. My plan is to start with a couple of small anthologies — one I'll put up for free on Amazon, and the other I'll offer for free on my site (which I'm working on) to build my email list — and I'll also write some more short stories to try to sell to print and online magazine markets, largely to see if I can gain any readers that way (probably only a little, I suspect), but also to make my name known in wider circles, and, of course, for the little bit of income that such sales would garner. Meanwhile, I've been planning and researching a novel I have in mind.
My genre is fantasy — some historical, of the gaslamp variety (the fantasy version of steampunk), but some more high fantasy — although I could easily see myself writing some non-fiction, too.
I really see a lot of opportunity for any rights holders – but only if they take an entrepreneurial attitude and exploit them. The backlist IS powerful but there are always new authors starting out.
I'm glad you enjoyed the summit – I learned a lot from it too. This industry is full of people sharing great info 🙂 all the best with your writing.
I have a question about pricing. Given the underlying stigma about indie publishing, (You've done a wonderful job clearing that up, by the way, but sadly not everybody reads your blog.) and the fact that indies tend to price their books at a much lower price than traditionally published authors ($.99 to 2.99 in most cases I've seen), is it better to price your book higher to avoid the indie stigma? In other words, which has a more profound effect on buyers, a cheap price or a "professional" looking one? (does that make sense?) Does a cheaper price outweigh the stigma against indies? BTW, this is assuming that everything else (cover, description, etc) all looks very professional and could pass for a traditionally published book.
Plenty of traditional publishers are pricing their books at low prices, and plenty of indies price their books high. I don't believe in a stigma of price, I just think that there are customers at different levels. You can choose to price your books at whatever you like. My books are at free, $2.99, $4.99, $6.99, $8.99 and I even have some at $12.99 on iBooks and Kobo. Basically, you need more than one book so you can spread your prices around, but if you are new on the scene, whether trad or indie, you are always going to need to price at a rate that means people will risk trying a new author.
Thanks Joanna! You're so helpful, as always.
Joanna! Thanks so much for these posts! These are so very helpful and I love learning how to make my dream of reality!
This is brilliant, thank you! So many people seem to be cagey about what they earn, as if by telling other people about it, they'll jinx it – or the other people might somehow steal it! It's always interesting to see how someone manages to amass a six-figure income!
PS) I'm always in the gym when I listen so I've never sent a pic. All you would see is weight lifting equipment. Lol.
good call on the gym photos 🙂 and thanks for the support of the podcast!
Hi Joanna, thanks for your breakdown, it helps build confidence in the power of book sales. It was good to know 50% of your income comes from your books. Bought your newest – on my to read pile, and it keeps nudging its way up 🙂 I like your new series London Psychic – I see you say it's a trilogy, but I do hope you're able to extend that. I think these characters are powerful. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations, Joanna! You've worked so hard you certainly deserve the success you've attained. I have one question: Do you think Yaro Starak's blogging course helped you to achieve this type of success? Obviously, the course itself would do nothing without the necessary ingredient of your hard work. But I'm just wondering. Anyway, kudos to you!!
Thank you for sharing this information. I saw you have several foreign editions for your books. How did you go about getting them translated?
I would say that it's not been worth it though – and now I have an agent who is looking into foreign rights for me.
So. How do you get those titles moving on those other platforms, such as iTunes, Kobo, etc?
I've gone through this on the podcast before but basically you need multiple titles, preferably in a series, preferably with something permafree to attract readers. You need to link to the other stores from your site and promote the books in the same way as you promote Amazon links, which most authors don't. You should have great covers and preferably some higher priced books that you can discount in their sales/merchandising opportunities. Plus, meeting the reps at events is a good idea. Hope that helps.


Yeah, this chili is cheesy. But it's also beefy and hearty, with a base of kidney beans and fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
Brown meat in large saucepan on medium heat; drain. Add peppers, onions and seasonings; cook 5 to 6 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
Add all remaining ingredients except cheese; mix well. Cover; simmer on low heat 30 min., stirring occasionally.
Garnish each serving with 1 Tbsp. BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream and a light sprinkling of chopped fresh chives or cilantro.
For a spicier chili, add 1 small chopped jalapeno pepper or a few drops of hot pepper sauce along with the other seasonings.

When learning to use, though not mastering, the subjunctive mood in Spanish and Italian makes me wish that English hadn't allowed it's own subjunctive mood to become almost useless.

I agree. The subjunctive mood in Spanish is wonderful!
True story: It's used so infrequently in English, that my university professor didn't expect our class to do very well with subjunctive. When she was teaching us the concept and uses, she was quite dubious about our chances of success as native English speakers, but we all did quite well. So I am proud of that achievement.

NEW YORK CITY -- For Marcus and Markieff Morris, family has always come first. The twin brothers were born together, starred in high school, AAU ball and college together, were nearly drafted together in 2011 (Markieff went 13th to the Phoenix Suns, Marcus 14th to the Houston Rockets), and even signed their first contract extension together in 2014, when both were with the Suns.
But the Morris family extends well beyond "Mook" and "Keef." They have three other brothers (Blake, David and Donte), and Marcus, Markieff and Blake were raised by their single mother, Thomasine "Angel" Morris. Though the twins' bond is inextricably bound to basketball, their work off the court ties even closer to their upbringing.
Marcus and Markieff have resolved to do just that through their aptly named Family Over Everything (FOE) Foundation. Behind a family-only staff and long-lasting relationships forged with the people they've helped over the years, FOE serves single-parent and underprivileged families through an organization that's unique among NBA player-run charity operations.
Mook and Keef's efforts to help began long before FOE's founding in 2017. They have hosted an annual basketball camp in their hometown of Philadelphia and have put on a backpack drive for seven years running. When Marcus was with the Detroit Pistons from 2015-17, he and his wife, Amber Soulds, who's now the director of FOE, "kind of adopted" a local family from one of his pre-foundation events.
That giving nature came in large part from Thomasine, who passed it down to her sons from her own humble upbringing.
"There always was a saying that my mother used to give us, and it was, 'The more you give, the more you get,'" she says. "It's nice to have quality things and it's nice to have good things, but you also have to look at people that don't have the quality things that you have. Don't be selfish. Always be humble, and God will take care of the rest of it."
The twins' events and the spirit underpinning them have continued under the FOE banner, but are now backed by an official organization and the infrastructure that comes with it. That helps them avoid some of the hiccups that come with freewheeling community service.
Amber suggested going the official route to keep things organized and functioning properly. Her degree in business management from Santa Clara University and experience working for the board of directors at her alma mater helped prepare her for the administrative load. From setting up the website and finding everybody's roles to dealing with the behind-the-scenes paperwork, she spent nearly a year laying the groundwork for an organization that could broaden the brothers' outreach.
What serves Family Over Everything best in reaching families is that the organization itself is comprised of one. Outside of the Morris brothers and Amber, there's Thomasine, their mother and co-founder, and Thomas Robinson, the former NBA player who's been a little brother to the twins since their time as teammates at Kansas.
"I'm excited about being able to do it," Thomasine says. "It's just a little time. We use our time doing an abundant amount of things, and then a lot of times we use our time not doing anything. So if the little bit of time that we use not doing anything, if we could give some of that back to some less fortunate people, then I think that we all will be blessed."
Having so many Morrises involved also helps to maintain close ties between family members, even as Mook and Keef are busy traveling with their respective NBA teams during the hectic season.
Even when the Morrises aren't together at events, they're in constant communication to plan them. What started with the usual events Marcus and Markieff would put on now includes a yearly trip to All-Star Weekend, where Thomasine and other NBA moms treat local mothers to special events—like this year's upcoming "Pamper Day" in Charlotte, building on last year's edition in LA.
"What I do is, I bring the moms in and then I make a challenge with them to see who can do the best job with their girls," Thomasine says. "The girls don't know that, but we do pick a girl and we introduce ourselves to the girl and then we help them to, like, getting their nails done. And they get clothes and they get a massage, and they just get pampered all the way around."
This past Christmas in Philadelphia, FOE brought a tree, decorations, presents and catering to celebrate the holiday at a women's shelter, at Marcus' behest. The Christmas prior, the Morrises paid off layaways at a Walmart in Philly. The foundation also recently teamed up with UNICEF to stage a Kid Power challenge, in which students in Boston and D.C. wore Fitbits to compete for the most steps recorded, racking up 438 life-saving nutrition packets for malnourished children in the process.
Future plans include an extended weekend around the brothers' yearly basketball camp, which will feature a men's empowerment event (FOE did a women's event last year, and will alternate between the two) and celebrity flag football game, for which the Morrises are currently recruiting. The organization is also putting together a casino night-themed gala in order to fundraise for more events.
Markieff says he'll text, call, even visit the schools of some of the kids he's met along the way. And if he ever were to get traded or end up in another NBA city, he'd pick up FOE operations there as well.
FOE will treat single mothers in Charlotte to a day of pampering.
FOE will host a basketball camp in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, with youth bussed in from Philadelphia. It will feature the Morris brothers, former NBA veteran Thomas Robinson and Philadelphia native Sean Evans. The kids will be treated to a motivational speech, food and prizes.
FOE will host a summit for men in Philadelphia to come and learn about financial literacy, home ownership, fatherhood, entrepreneurship and more.
FOE will host its first annual celebrity flag football game in Philadelphia. Celebrity participants will include the brothers' NBA friends and fellow Philly natives.
FOE will host its annual backpack drive in the Morris brothers' old neighborhood in Philadelphia. Every year, the foundation gives away hundreds of backpacks, along with raffles and snacks. The foundation will also offer free physicals for kids heading back to school.
It doesn't just brighten up the day of those being helped. The brothers and their families get plenty of satisfaction out of the connections they've formed through FOE.
For Marcus, Markieff and FOE, they're just doing what family does: helping their loved ones.
"I've seen myself in the same position as these kids," Marcus says. "It's an amazing thing the way they look up to us and know that there's an opportunity to make it out. That's always the biggest thing.

As Peter trusted in the Lord to give him direction, the Holy Spirit began preparing the hearts of those that he would soon disciple.
Peter, a Send56 missionary in Sudan, waited patiently for God's direction after realizing his heart belonged to those who did not know Christ.
After much prayer, Peter moved to a part of Africa populated by varied tribal groups. Peter and a team of Send56 missionaries reached out to these communities, displaying the loving kindness of Jesus. At first, only a handful of people attended Sunday services that Peter and his teammates conducted, but as the weeks passed the Lord provided the increase and more and more believers attended services. Peter's heart was filled with joy as he saw his new brothers and sisters begin to take ownership of their faith and outreaches.

By Caroline King - October 4, 2013 Posted in : Theatre
Katherine Senior as Mistress Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor
When: 15th October 2013
Where: Rosemary Branch Theatre, 2 Shepperton Road, Islington, London N1 3DT
£: Tickets £13 and concessions £11
One of Shakespeare's best loved comic characters, Sir John Falstaff, is once again set to seduce audiences in a production of The Merry Wives of Windsor. Touring venues around the UK, the play comes to the Rosemary Branch Theatre, Islington on 15th October. The play is presented by Creative Cow, in association with Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.
It is said that when Queen Elizabeth I saw Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1, she laughed so much at the character of Sir John Falstaff she ordered his continued existence at her court. The result was The Merry Wives of Windsor, a play that provides audiences with generous helpings of wit, broad farce, trickery and true love. Less often performed than some of Shakespeare's comedies, the current tour provides a welcome opportunity to see this fast-paced and consummately skilled production by fresh young theatre company, Creative Cow.
The plot is built around the puffed up and degenerate Sir John Falstaff, a Knight of the Garter, who is seized with the outrageous idea that to seduce two of Windsor's wealthy merry wives will prove his virility and give him access to their money.
The assignations are made, but with female cunning and a devilish plot involving their husbands, Falstaff is repeatedly tricked by the women. He is hidden in a laundry basket full of dirty washing and thrown into the Thames. He is further duped and terrified in the eerie moonlit shadows of a blasted oak in Windsor Great Park to which he is lured by a band of ruthless townsfolk seeking to revel in the old man's misery. Meanwhile, the beautiful daughter of one of the 'merry wives' must employ her own brand of trickery to attain true love.

I was struck by the recurring themes in this week's health news and planned to blog about it today. But Lindsey Tanner of AP beat me to it with her story, "Experts say US doctors overtesting, overtreating."
"Too much cancer screening, too many heart tests, too many cesarean sections. A spate of recent reports suggest that too many Americans - maybe even President Barack Obama - are being overtreated.
A combination of both is at work, but now new evidence and guidelines are recommending a step back and more thorough doctor-patient conversations about risks and benefits."
"Testing should absolutely not be deployed to screen the entire population of men over the age of 50, the outcome pushed by those who stand to profit."
I can only wish that Richard J. Ablin's article had appeared years ago and spared me and probably many others needless pain and anxiety.
In 1997, at the urging of a couple of friends, I walked into a clinic feeling great and a bit foolish. P.S.A., 9-plus. Biopsy, of course (ouch), and I was told of a "little suspicious gray area" on a film. Lab test result, positive. Doctor recommendation: surgery or radiation.
I decided against both and never looked back, and have lived happily and healthfully ever after.
By the way, the 10 or 15 percent chance of bad side effects (I asked) from surgery is really far higher, from what I've read and heard. Watchful waiting is still the best suggestion any doctor can offer.
• CBS' Harry Smith's live colonoscopy coverage that never touched on any questions about evidence for colonoscopy and some of the questions that have been raised about the overselling of colonoscopy - perhaps resulting in the decline in use of a $20 blood stool slide test.
While Smith's colonoscopy was being televised, I was attending a meeting entitled, "First, Do No Harm," hosted by the US Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality. The purpose of the meeting was to guide future AHRQ research on how to get doctors and patients to stop pursuing approaches for which there is net harm - not benefit. Clearly, health care in the US struggles even with the clearcut issues of cutting back in the face of net harm -- much less in gray areas where there is uncertainty about harms vs. benefits.
But kudos to Lindsey Tanner of AP for trying to tie together the week's news in the way she did. We could have stories like that every week. And if we did, we'd have a lot smarter health care consumer population.

Ukraine's interior minister dies in helicopter crash in Kyiv region
By: Adrian
Military and police are at the scene of a helicopter crash near a kindergarten in Brovary, on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv, which killed 16 people, including two children and Ukraine's interior minister.
At least 16 people, including Ukraine's interior minister and three children, were killed in a helicopter crash outside Kyiv on Wednesday while en route to the front lines of the war with Russia.
Authorities initially said 18 people had died, but later revised the death toll to 16.
"The purpose of the flight was to go to one of the hotspots in our country where fighting is taking place."
Kirilo Tymoshenko is
Advisor to the President of Ukraine.
"The Home Secretary was on his way there," he added.
There were also "29 wounded, including 15 children," according to a message from the region's governor, Oleksiy Kleva.
President Volodymyr Zelensky called the accident a "horrible tragedy". "It hurts beyond words," he added.
Prime Minister Denis Chimigal announced that he had directed the creation of a "special group to investigate the circumstances of the tragedy in detail".
An image circulating on social networks showed the wreckage of a helicopter near a car wrecked by metal weights. An AFP team found firefighters and police at the scene.
Among the dead were Interior Minister Denis Monastirski, 42, Deputy Minister Yevgeny Zhenin and the ministry's Secretary of State Yuri Lubkovich, along with six others, who were on board the device, the chief of the Ukrainian police said in a statement. said in
Professional lawyer Monastirski has been in office since July 2021. In 2019, he served as a deputy member of the Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, under the name of the presidential party "Servants of the People".
The accident occurred in Brovary, a city of about 100,000 people east of Kyiv. During the first weeks of the invasion, the town saw a lot of fighting as Russian troops tried to approach the Ukrainian capital.
At the time of the drama, "There were children and staff at the kindergarten," Kureba said.
new tragedy
After the accident, the first to react was the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.
"We joined Ukraine in grief after the tragic helicopter crash (…) Monastirskiy was a great friend of the EU," the official tweeted.
A massive fire broke out after the helicopter crashed, according to images published on social networks.
So far, the cause of the accident has not been revealed.
German Interior Minister Nancy Feser has offered Kyiv's assistance to investigate the cause of the accident.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force said the aircraft belonged to the National Emergency Service under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This new tragedy comes four days after Russia's deadly attack on Dnipro in eastern Ukraine, at the height of the war with Russia.
A Russian missile destroyed a home on Saturday, killing at least 45 people, including six children. It is one of the deadliest bombings since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.
The youngest victim was 11 months old, Tymoshenko lamented Tuesday night after more than three days of searching.
Beneath the rubble, emergency teams squeezed some survivors between giant concrete blocks.
The attack, which targeted civilians, caused a great uproar among the Ukrainian public.
Zelensky vowed that "everyone guilty of this war crime" will be brought to justice, blaming the Russian military for the massacre.
The Russian side denied any involvement in the attack.

What Medical Facilities Are On A Cruise Ship?
As the cruise industry booms, offering an ever-increasing variety of both ocean and river experiences all over the world, it's little wonder that more travellers than ever are realising that dream of a holiday at sea. Whilst many travellers will be entertaining tempting thoughts of seductive sea views, all-you-can-eat buffets and the diverse range of activities and tours the modern-day cruise offers, there are likely to be some who may harbour some apprehensive notions about life at sea.
For example, families with children in tow or those that live with a medical condition might wonder what medical facilities are on board a cruise ship as well as what might happen if you fall ill whilst out on the water. It's a valid concern and one which could lead you to send an enquiry to your cruise line of choice, in order to put your mind to rest. In general, whilst a serious illness or an emergency would involve a referral to a facility on land, the modern cruise ship will offer 24-hour infirmaries with trained medical professionals on standby to provide care and advice.
Most of the world's leading cruise lines will ensure there is at least one doctor and two nurses on board at all times. Some of the larger liners, those carrying a great number of passengers, may well invest in an additional doctor and three or four nurses.
When it comes to credentials, the big-name cruise lines will have some strict vetting procedures in place to ensure they employ consistently well-trained staff. According to Cruise Critic, Carnival Cruise Lines, the world's largest cruise line, stipulates its physicians must be registered in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, a European Union country or any other country approved by the fleet medical director. You can certainly expect that any healthcare professionals on board will be fluent in the main language of the ship.
Cruise ships will sell some of those first aid essentials such as plasters, painkillers and those all-important seasickness pills for those that might struggle to cope when the waves are up. However, within the infirmary, there will be a range of medication available to treat any infectious conditions such as the norovirus, as well as a range of gastrointestinal or respiratory ailments.
Many ships will offer sophisticated equipment such as x-ray machines and cardio monitors to diagnose a range of conditions, and infirmaries should be equipped well enough to stabilise patients in sudden emergencies such as heart attacks. However, if a patient needs serious medical attention, they will likely be disembarked as soon as possible or even evacuated by helicopter in order to make sure they have access to a fully equipped medical centre on dry land.
Although the idea of being placed in quarantine sounds like a frightening procedure, the close proximity of a large number of people in a relatively confined space means that ships need to act fast in the event of a potential infectious outbreak. One of the most common stomach bugs, the norovirus, can spread like wildfire if not contained. You may be asked to remain in your cabin for a specific period of time. If this happens, do take it seriously as cruise ships operate strict policies on this sort of thing, but try not to worry too much. The crew will ensure all your meals, drinks and medication is delivered to your door.
Although it might seem as if your cruise ship is adept at taking care of your every whim, when it comes to medical care, you will find that treatment and medication is billed to your cabin. Ensure that you're not left out of pocket by booking the right travel insurance policy for your trip and you can relax, safe in the knowledge that should an unfortunate incident occur, your insurer will have your covered.
Take the hassle out of finding the best travel insurance for your circumstances and use an online comparison tool such as that offered by Medical Travel Compared. We strive to offer travellers a comprehensive selection of policies that fit their requirements. Browse our selection and get your travel insurance quote today.

- MEDIA STATEMENT -
Outside School Hours Care providers welcome Government relief package
A coalition of Australia's major Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) service providers has today welcomed the Federal Government's announcement that it will deliver a childhood education and care relief package that will help sustain the Out of School Hours Care sector. The announcement follows engagement between the sector and the Government over an urgent support package to preserve the industry, the jobs of thousands of employees and the care provided to hundreds of thousands of children.
"We strongly support the Government's announced package today which will provide much needed relief to families and the childcare industry, including the OSHC sector," said Sinead Ryan, a spokesperson for the OSHC providers.
"Our five organisations came together in recent weeks to fight for the sector, our staff and the families who depend on our care. We have worked closely with the Government to address the considerable issues facing the sector in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, without today's announcement, the significant fall in attendance at our services had made providing services for those who need it unviable."
"Today's announcement goes a long way to ensuring we can continue to provide these services to the families who rely on us, and together with the JobKeeper payment will enable us to support our childcare workers through this difficult time.
"It also strengthens the long-term viability of the sector and its ability to provide large scale before and after school and vacation care services for families around Australia once the pandemic ends," Ms Ryan said.
In addition to employing thousands of Australians and caring for hundreds of thousands of children, OSHC is recognised as essential to supporting workforce participation, including for essential workers who continue to keep Australia running during the pandemic.
Providers will continue to engage with Government on the details of the package and work to allow suspended services to be reopened as quickly as possible.

Nets Vs Bucks Odds & Pick – NBA Betting
Written by Henry Watkins on August 4, 2020
Heading into the restart of the NBA, there really was no way to know how players would react to the admittedly strange experience of playing in the bubble. There are some players who thrive when playing in front of a packed crowd, but who may have a tougher time doing the same in an empty arena, no matter how hard teams try to pipe in crowd noise and make it feel like a home court experience. Let's find out how these teams arrive to this Nets Vs Bucks showdown so you can make your bets against their NBA odds.
NBA Betting – Brooklyn Nets Vs Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview
Yes, teams are still listed as home and away in the return, and while there are some things being done to make it feel that way, you simply cannot replicate what it's like to play in your own building with your fans going crazy. It's still really too early to see what impact this is having on each team, especially when you have a few who have already punched their playoff ticket and secured their seeding. That is the case with the Milwaukee Bucks, who will be in as the "home" team in their Tuesday afternoon tilt with the Brooklyn Nets. At the time of writing, there were no odds on the board for this one, so be sure to check back in later.
Why bet on the Brooklyn Nets
This is an important game for the Brooklyn Nets, as it may well serve as a preview of what is to come in the playoffs. As it stands at the moment, the Nets are occupying the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference, which would mean an opening round series versus the Bucks. With a 7 ½ game lead on the Wizards, who they just beat, in the #9 spot, it is looking less and less likely that the Nets will get sucked into a play in game, but they do still have a shot at moving up to #7, as they are just a half game back of Orlando Magic. The bad news is that the Nets have just 2 wins in their last 16 meetings with Milwaukee and have covered just once in the last 5 against them. 5 of the last 6 games with the Bucks as the home team went the way of the OVER.
Why bet on the Milwaukee Bucks
It has been an up and down start to life in the bubble for the Milwaukee Bucks, who have gone 1-1 in their 2 games thus far. In fairness to Milwaukee, they had a tougher schedule than most, which can't be easy when you have been inactive for months. On the plus side, Milwaukee took care of a potential Eastern Conference contender in their first game back, downing the Boston Celtics 119-112. They followed that with a bit of a surprise loss to the Houston Rockets, losing 120-116 in what was a very entertaining game of basketball. The Bucks are now 1-4 ATS in their last 5 but are also 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. They are playing with the "home" designation in this one.
When: Tuesday, August 4 at 1:30 PM EST
Where: Wide World of Sports, Orlando
Nets Vs Bucks Live: NBATV
Total: O/U 230.5
Spread: +/-18.5
Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction
The Bucks are going to want to bounce back after a tough loss to the Rockets, which may be bad news for the Nets. I'm looking at a comfortable win for Milwaukee.
Pick: Brooklyn Nets 98 Milwaukee Bucks 117
