6 Marketing Lessons to Apply in 2021
Emily Hayward
2020 is behind us! But before we rejoice, I think it's worth noting that the hardships of the year aren't forgotten. In fact, they're still very much present. We're not leaving the valuable lessons that we learned in 2020 behind either. Instead, we're carrying them forward into 2021.
As marketers, we're naturally in tune with what our customers, clients, and colleagues are talking about. We'd be remiss to not acknowledge what is going on in the world and understand how it impacts our roles.
If 2020 taught us anything, it's that you can't predict the future. So in lieu of predicting the marketing trends for the new year, we're reflecting on what we learned and how we can apply that to our marketing practices this year.
For many marketers, we're focused on the tools and technology that support our craft—the tools that help us reach our customers, provide a world-class experience, and ultimately help us convert leads to revenue. But this time, let's go back to the basics and focus on the people.
Put empathy at the heart of your marketing
In its simplest form, empathy is the ability to share the emotions of others—and it's not a new concept. 10 years ago, Adam Grant called it "perspective-taking". I think it's safe to say that 2020 put our empathy to the test.
We're living in a world where we're hyper-connected by technology rather than in-person interactions. People are craving human connection more than ever. So as marketers, how do we convey empathy and create human connection through a screen? Here are a few ideas that we're applying this year:
Ask questions, ask for feedback and most importantly, listen to what people are saying
Learn about your audience's goals and interests
Use your learnings to create value-oriented content that incites action or has a takeaway
By listening to our customers and their priorities, goals, and feelings, we can use that to create actionable and helpful resources, tools, and products.
Authenticity and trust are key
Building off empathy, it's important to be authentic, trustworthy and transparent in your marketing efforts. People are seeking real, truthful information, and now more than ever it's important to build trust. As marketers, it's important we don't fall into all talk and no action, otherwise known as trust washing.
According to a 2019 Edelman survey, brand trust ranks as a top buying consideration but only 34% of respondents trust most of the brands they use or buy. World events, like a global pandemic or a social movement, should never be used as a marketing play. Be mindful of the place your brand occupies in the mind of consumers, listen to what they are saying, and build a community that becomes an authentic and trustworthy resource.
Articulate your why
Data shows that the world is searching for answers to a big question: Why? According to Google's Year in Search, why was searched more than ever. The world was looking for answers to questions like, "Why is it called Covid-19?" to "Why is empathy important?"
I think there is something to learn from this. We're all turning to the Internet for answers—whether the questions are small (how many cups of coffee is too many cups of coffee?) or existential (what is the meaning of life?). Everyone wants answers to their questions now.
A 2019 study by the Technical University of Denmark states that our collective attention span is narrowing, from social media to books, web searches and more. We're looking for answers to questions we didn't even know we had. We spend our days jumping from our big screens to our small screens and there's no doubt we're suffering from information overload.
As marketers, it's important that we answer the why. If you're looking for a place to get started, our team recommends Simon Sinek's book, Start With Why. We're competing with limited attention spans, cluttered news feeds, and each other to catch the attention of our customers. We can do this through clear, concise, and informational content (blog posts, resources), short and value-oriented social posts, or even through your SEO practices.
Meet your customers where they are
Right now, our main mode of communication is through our devices: phones, computers, tablets. As marketers, it's our job to meet our customers where they are. We're spending more time in our homes, so that reduces traction on traditional field marketing practices like billboards or public transit advertisements, while time spent online has skyrocketed.
2020 was challenging for businesses around the world. Lockdowns forced brick and mortar stores to close and shift business models to keep their revenue stream. Discover where your customers are spending their time online and use that information to your advantage. Hubspot predicts that social media will move from a discovery channel to a purchase channel in 2021. Strategize and execute to explore the possibilities and meet your customers where they are.
Marketers need to be flexible. No matter how hard we try, we can't predict what's to come. But 2020 was a lesson in resilience and agility for marketing teams. In the Content Marketing Institute's annual survey, 70% of marketers reported that they made major or moderate adjustments to their content marketing strategy due to the pandemic. Similarly, 83% of respondents said they were quick to change their content marketing in response to the pandemic.
There's also a need to exercise caution to ensure your response isn't seen as jumping on the bandwagon. Flexibility and agility go hand-in-hand with empathy and trust. While marketers often need to act on the fly, it's important that our responses are done with good intentions.
And outside of world events, 2020 brought new technology and tools (Fleets, anyone?) that pushed marketers to think outside of what we know as normal. Adopting a growth mindset and an agile approach to marketing to meet customers where they are will be key pillars to carry us through 2021.
Don't underestimate collaboration and communication
The global shift to work-from-home continues, leaving behind the "new" and becoming just plain normal. When considering the previous 5 lessons and how you're going to apply them to this year, it's important to consider how you're going to measure and communicate the success of your campaigns.
Remote work collaboration and measurement tools will be key. According to Buffer's State of Remote Work 2020, respondents identified collaboration and communication as the biggest struggle with working remotely.
Our team has a martech stack that includes Airtable, Slack, and our own product, PowerMetrics, to project manage, plan, and most importantly, report on our marketing campaigns. Analyzing and reporting on your campaign data will allow you to embrace the flexibility and agility previously mentioned, while also tracking what's working, or what's not. In a tool like PowerMetrics, you can track metrics like content engagement, campaign clicks, or MQLs, and understand if your message resonates with your audience. You can use metrics as a way to further build out your marketing campaigns and iterate on other lessons you encounter along the way too.
We can't predict what 2021 is going to bring, but we can go into it with our best foot forward as marketers and apply what we learned last year. What lessons are you carrying into 2021?

Our favorite 30 day challenge is BACK!!
Ever wonder what eating perfectly clean for 30 days could do for your body? Do you wish you had a supportive community to help you break your habits? Want to win some cool prizes for getting healthier? Oh yeah and look better naked?!?
Heck yeah you do!! So join CrossFit Rockland for our Whole30 Challenge!!!
Why: Because you want to be fit, healthy and PR!
In addition, we will have a scale around for the weigh-in and we will be performing a few classic CrossFit "Benchmark" WODs before and after the Whole30 challenge so you have some performance markers to compare against.
Judging: Judging will be done by your peers based on your photos and the other cool data we get (weight loss, "Fran" times, etc.). Each "judge" will rank their top 3 Men AND top 3 Women from 1st to 3rd place. Within each division, 3 points will be awarded for first place, 2 points for 2nd place and 1 for 3rd. The winners (Men & Women) will be the contestants with the most points. The 2nd and 3rd places will be decided in the same manner.
How: We want to be sure you are successful with this challenge so we are providing each participant with a guide to help you through these 30 days. Just like last time, we've partnered with Whole9 to bring you a very easy to follow "how to" guide that will answer most of the questions you may have.
In addition, our "But How" information session will describe the details of the Whole30 and talk a little of the WHY, the HOW and time for Q&A. This session should last around 90 minutes or so pending on what gets thrown at us! Of course, we will also always be here to help answer any additional questions that may pop up (and they will) cause we really want you to succeed!
Ok, but I've done this before: If you participated in our last challenges, get the ball rolling again! I would be willing to bet my Guinness (which yes I have to give up too) that you have "slipped" a bit since our last one. This will give you an opportunity to hit your body's "reset" button and get you back on track!
The purpose of these 30 days is to get you more "in tune" with what you put in your mouth. It's about being conscious about what you eat and subsequently, how you feel. We hope that you realize the benefits of living this lifestyle (as we have) and that you will continue to live it moving forward.


Lyme Disease alone has tripled in the United States over the last two decades making this tick-borne disease the leading vector-borne disease reported in the Northern Hemisphere. The number of reported vector disease cases has risen significantly over the past 20 years in the United States plaguing approximately 300,000 individuals annually.
Now, 45.7 percent of all U.S. counties are reporting cases of Lyme Disease, a 30 percent increase since 1998. Lyme Disease is often overlooked by patients, or mistreated, as Lyme Disease symptoms appear to be flu-like symptoms at first glance. Black-legged ticks are found in mainly woody areas of the United States in 37 states along the Eastern Region.
The Northeast is where ticks are most discovered (14 states); although the black-legged ticks can be found in southern states including Alabama and Florida. Ticks found in Northeast were in leafy debris; and for this reason, it's important not to move firewood or leaves close to properties.
Lyme Disease remains a growing concern for North Americans. Click here to learn more about ticks and Lyme Disease; and begin installing deer fence in home gardens to block deer carrying ticks from entering lawns and home gardens.


As Nogard says, you shouldn't judge a star by the brightness of its twinkle. The procyon star isn't the brightest in the skybox and this pale yellow creature is similarly dim, but don't think for a moment that this reflects upon the dragon's intelligence. This sharp-witted dragon eluded discovery for a long time, playing a game of stellar hide-and-seek with the wizards. Now that it's finally been discovered, we're thrilled to have such a bright dragon join us in the Vale!
3,395 during the Star Fall Event 2018.
The Procyon Dragon can only be bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave. The breeding pair of dragons must contain the Procyon Dragon and any other dragon.
The Procyon Dragon was released on July 1, 2015, along with the Andromedan Dragon.
Initially, the Procyon Dragon was available at level 1, but the level availability changed on an unknown date to level 10.
On November 10, 2015, the Procyon Dragon was added to the market.
On May 10, 2016, The Procyon Dragon, was listed on sale at a reduced price for a limited period of time.
The Procyon Dragon's sale ended on May 11, 2016, when the price rose from 195 to 1950 gems.
The Procyon Dragon's name may be a reference to the star Procyon, the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor.

Q: MVC, Normal partial view and List partial view. not working together!!! S.O.S. xD I have a view that contains 2 partial views.
@model ListViewModel
....
@{
    Html.RenderPartial("EditCartItemsPartical");
    Html.RenderPartial("ShowProductINFO", Model.Products);
}

and I just want to create a from with the first partial, and a list with the second.
The partial views
EditCartItemsPartical.cshtml
@model  TestNewATM3._0.Models.CartItem
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.CartId, "CartId", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.CartId, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CartId, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ProductId, "ProductId", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ProductId, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ProductId, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

        .... // more control for CartItem

                <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />

}

ShowProductINFO.cshtml
@model IEnumerable<TestNewATM3._0.Models.AllProduct2>

@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")

        ID
        @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)

    @foreach (var item in Model) {

            @Html.DisplayFor(model => item.Id)
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title)

    }

And in my controller I got this.
public ActionResult Edit()
{
    var db = ApplicationDbContext.Create();
    var list = new ListViewModel
    {
        Products = db.AllProduct2s.ToList(),
        Users = db.Users.ToList(),
        Cart = db.Carts.ToList(),
        CartItem = db.CartItems.ToList()
    };
    return View(list);
}

But the problem is that I cant show both partial at the same time because if I send the list in my view, then my first partial gets a problem cause it want a @model TestNewATM3.0.Models.CartItem. but if I don't sent the list My list wont show because I don't send it.
So how do i show a normal partial form view and a List partial view at the same time?

A: I'm having a little difficulty understanding your examples (i.e you have an edit view with create buttons), it looks like your trying to create a view to edit the cart.
Note: I would suggest renaming the CartItem property of your model to CartItems for clarity, but I'll use the current property names for the examples below.
You could render the partial view for each of the items in the list like so,
but this approach more is more than a little messy:
foreach(var cartItem in Models.CartItem){

    Html.RenderPartial("EditCartItemsPartical", cartItem);

}

A simpler and more performant approach would be to edit the first view so it takes a collection of cart items
Like so
@model  IEnumerable<TestNewATM3._0.Models.CartItem>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    @foreach(var modelItem in Model.CartItem){

CartItem

        @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            @Html.LabelFor(model => modelItem.CartId, "CartId", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => modelItem.CartId, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => modelItem.CartId, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ProductId, "ProductId", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => modelItem.ProductId, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => modelItem.ProductId, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Aantal, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                @Html.EditorFor(model => modelItem.Aantal, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => modelItem.Aantal, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

    }

                <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />

}

Of course this will require you to change the server side code to receive a collection of cart items, but from the user's perspective not having to post a form back multiple times, to complete your changes is going to result in a better experience.
disclaimer: I changed the above view in notepad, might need to adjust a bit before it works perfectly
I hope this helps.

A criminal defense lawyer can properly identify important pretrial issues. It could be job to bring forth any appropriate motions could significantly improve your court case. Sometimes, these motions result in the dismissal or reduction of charges.

They then blame the judge or prosecutor when all their promises turn out to be not bona fide.


Centre-back Liam Moore looks ahead to a tough test at Middlesbrough, and says squad morale is high following productive training sessions.
When things aren't going your way, continuing to put in the hard yards is of course important. But equally, it's just as crucial to keep fostering a positive team spirit and camaraderie, says Liam Moore – that's what has been happening this week.
After a couple of days' worth of reflection on the Millwall defeat, the boys have returned to Hogwood with a renewed desire to pick up points as quickly as possible – but also to try and play with a smile on their face and to express themselves out on the pitch.
"Preparation has been good – we were very down after the match on Saturday and I think the gaffer noticed that," Moore said. "The players noticed it too of course; it was a difficult one to take.
"But it was important that we got spirits high in training. That includes hard work, but also a lot of enjoyment to try and pick morale back up. The manager and coaching staff have managed that very well in the last few days.
"I had the chat with the gaffer when we came back in on Tuesday, and I said that it was probably the best thing for the lads – we needed a couple of days.
Tony Pulis's Middlesbrough sit in the top half of the table, threatening to break into the play-off places.
Moore knows that they have quality and physicality… and that the Royals will need to match them in both departments to get the points at the Riverside.
"Boro will mix it up – they've got good quality and they can play, but they've also got some big lads and runners up front so they can go direct if they need to," he continued.

Q: Cannot invoke equals(String) on the primitive type int I have a text file with flight numbers, my goal is to have this method search that text file, and print out all the lines with said "flight number".
public static void print_flight(int rcount,int[]reservation_code,int[]fl_number,String[]last_name,String[]first_name,String[]seat_type,double[]seat_cost)
{
     int i, total=0;

     String search_flight = "";
     String output = "Enter the Flight Number you are searching for";
     search_flight = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
                                               output, " ",
                                               JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

     for (i = 0; i <=rcount; ++i) {
        //CHECK flight number

          if(fl_number[i].equals(search_flight))//ERROR IS HERE
             {
                 total+=fl_number[i]; //not sure if that is right
                 System.out.println(reservation_code[i]+" "+fl_number[i]+" "+last_name[i]+" "+first_name[i]+" "+seat_type[i]+" "+seat_cost[i]);
             }

     }
}

A: Use Integer.parseInt to convert it to an int value, then compare the two int values using ==
          int flight_number = Integer.parseInt(search_flight); //convert to int
          if(fl_number[i] == flight_number)//compare two ints

A: There is usually no arithmetic to perform on flight numbers, so things should be String arrays.

A: fl_number is a int array
and
search_flight is a String, you should parse it to int to work with fl_number
So, fl_number[i].equals(search_flight)
-> fl_number[i] == Integer.Parse(search_flight)


I'm not sure what age it was when I started to realize my parents are usually right and maybe have more wisdom than I realized. Maybe early 20s? It definitely wasn't my teen years 😉 Well, I was kindly reminded of this again recently.
Adam and I decided we were going to start looking for a place to move to in North Vancouver about 6 months ago. We are also getting married in September, which you probably know. My parents' kind, but unsolicited advice was to 'be careful we're not stressed and exhausted by the wedding' because moving and doing renovations and planning a wedding can be hectic and a LOT more work than you think.
Reeeeelax, I thought. We can do it and we'll be fine! Well, turns out it's a lot to take on all at once haha! While it isn't causing anxiety for us, it has added a bit of stress to our lives.
From a coaching perspective, I've also been noticing more and more people soliciting advice on anxiety, so thought I would focus on that today!
I think the worst advice for someone with anxiety is to say, just calm down. You can't "just calm down". Like with any problem, without knowing the source, it's hard to know how to fix it.
While drinking may initially calm your anxiety, it's almost always followed by a not so great feeling the next day. Even small amounts of alcohol will release estrogen in the body, increase cortisol (a stress hormone) and reduce leptin levels (the hormone that makes you feel satiated and full). While the excess estrogen leads to difficulty losing weight (guys and girls), the excess cortisol interrupts sleep and and can cause waking up in the night.
When you consume foods that you are sensitive to, it creates a mild fight or flight stress response in the body. This amplifies over the long term through eating these foods multiple times a day or week, and can really contribute to anxiety. The tough part about this is that you might not necessarily feel it right away. IgG sensitivities, which is what we're talking about, can take up to 4 days to present. You can test for your food sensitivities, like I talked about here, or you can simply try an elimination diet.
As a follow up to food sensitivities, sugar is a big one to reduce if you are feeling anxious. I've got 15 tips to eat less sugar here.
Similar to alcohol, you might know this one, but I want to remind you again. Caffeine is proven to be linked to anxiety and depression. Caffeine triggers a response of various hormones, including adrenaline and norepinephrine, both of which are great if you're actually in an emergency situation. Chances are though, your daily cup of joe is not actually being drunk in a true emergency, and so may be worsening anxiety.
My recommendation would be to start with alcohol, sugar and caffeine. If you don't see an improvement, move towards food sensitivity investigation and cortisol. There may also be nutrient deficiencies, like magnesium, at play too.
Sometimes, symptoms you're feeling, like anxiety, can be the result of nutrient deficiencies. A hugely common one is magnesium. Adding a simple magnesium supplement like 600mg of Thorne Magnesium Citramate in the evenings before bed can be very beneficial. Furthermore, if your anxiety has been prolonged, you may need increased doses of the B vitamins and vitamin C.
To get you through the bouts of anxiety, there are short term herbs you can try too. If you are on medications, you would need to consult with a healthcare practitioner prior to starting these.
Valerian comes in a tincture format and should be used before bed as it can make you a bit drowsy.
Passionflower is another herbal remedy. You can have passionflower tea or again in a tincture format. I would do this one before bed as well due to possible drowsiness.
I can't stress the benefits of speaking to a professional who is not your partner and not your friend. Often times this is covered on your benefits package too! If nothing else, it helps you know you're not alone in what you're dealing with and gives you some practical tools to change your thought behaviour.
As with all mental health, there are times when medication might be right for you. My mission is to empower you to know the natural solutions that are out there. If you'd like to chat more about this one on one, at no charge, please get in touch with me here.

Title VIII Reauthorization Introduced in Senate
On May 11, 2017, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Richard Burr (R-NC), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2017. AACN commends the commitment of these Senators during National Nurses Week to bolster the pipeline of nurses for future healthcare needs.
Earlier this year, Representatives David Joyce (R-OH), Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Doris Matsui (D-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL), Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), Patrick Meehan (R-PA), and Kathy Castor (D-FL) introduced the House version, H.R. 959. Both bills would reauthorize the Nursing Workforce Development programs (Title VIII, Public Health Service Act) through Fiscal Year 2022 and make modifications that would modernize programs. This is a critical step toward ensuring the future sustainability of Title VIII.
Senator Merkley issued a press release supporting nurses with bipartisan legislation.
"As the husband of a nurse, I hear firsthand about the challenges and successes that come with working on the frontlines of our health care system," Merkley said. "Every day, nurses take on difficult, essential, and often thankless tasks that keep our health care system running and that have a huge impact on the patient experience. Each of us has a story about the nurse who made all the difference at a frightening or difficult time for our families. I'll keep fighting to improve federal policy to fully recognize and support the essential role of nurses in our health care system..."
AACN will continue to keep you apprised of this legislation's progress. Soon we will circulate an opportunity for you to contact your Senators directly about this important legislation. For more information about this legislation, visit our Workforce page.

Five 'what if' predictions for the Carabao Cup last 16 matches

Before the Premier League returns on Boxing Day, some clubs will be testing themselves in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
For those who have been swept up in World Cup fever and may have forgotten, the third round took place just before the break with a handful of big names exiting the competition including Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal.
But now it is back, and for the Premier League sides, it will be their first taste of competitive football since before the World Cup. However, there are also six sides from outside the top flight who have already returned to league action – or not missed it at all in the case of the four who play in League One and League Two.
The eight matches of the fourth round will be split across three days with just two all-Premier League ties, and it can be hard to keep track of all the action. That's where the new Squawka Live app comes in handy.
Squawka Live not only allows you to keep track of the latest scores and your favourite teams but also brings stats to the small screen, providing real-time updates so you never miss a bit.
With the Alerts feature you can also preset triggers that will notify you if specific in-play events such as match time, odds changes and goals/points happen. So we've come up with five matches for you to follow with predictions and which triggers will come in useful to track your options.
How to use Squawka Live's Alert triggers
With Squawka Live's Alert triggers, you can preset triggers that will notify you if specific in-play events occur. To set up your own triggers, follow the steps below.
Find your selected live event and navigate to the Alerts tab.
Click on create your first Alert and select a specific trigger.
Select the event detail you want to receive a notification for.
The Alert will be added to your home screen and you will be notified when your chosen event has occurred.
Man City vs Liverpool
The trigger: Exact score: Man City 1-0 Liverpool
The prediction: Liverpool to score next
It's not often that games between Manchester City and Liverpool end without both teams finding the net. Sure, in the most recent meeting in the Premier League, Liverpool scored first and managed to keep Man City out but of the past 10 games across all competitions, there have been just two clean sheets.
In this instance, we're predicting for Liverpool to come from behind against Man City, because that's what they've been doing this season. In the Premier League, only Tottenham (nine) have scored more equalising goals than Liverpool's eight, and Jurgen Klopp's side has equalised in eight of the 12 games in which they have conceded first.
Going further, in eight of the past 10 games in which Man City have scored first against Liverpool, the Reds have scored the next goal.
MK Dons vs Leicester
The trigger: Selected odds on Leicester -1.25
The prediction: Asian Handicap: Leicester -1.25
With League One hosting Premier League when Leicester travel to MK Dons, this may be one of the less competitive fixtures – if the Foxes get their way.
Leicester is one of three sides to open the scoring 10+ times in the Premier League this season, joining Man City (11) and Arsenal (12), with 50% of those goals coming in the opening 15 minutes. Should they go ahead against MK Dons, you can expect Leicester to keep turning the screw, as they look to add the EFL Cup to their FA Cup win from recent years.
With this game, you can keep track of the Asian Handicap of Leicester -1.25 and select your Alerts trigger to which odds you want to keep an eye out for (higher than) so you get your best deal.
Newcastle vs Bournemouth
The trigger: Match time: 30 minutes
The prediction: Newcastle to score first
Newcastle's games haven't been the most exciting for the neutral, particularly in the opening stages. There have been just five goals scored in the opening 30 minutes of Newcastle's 15 Premier League games so far this season, with the Magpies scoring four and conceding one.
However, that doesn't mean the entire first half is a lost cause. Newcastle has scored nine goals in the 15 minutes before half-time in the Premier League this season, and they start the second half well with seven in the 15 minutes after the break.
At the same time, no side has conceded more goals in the 15 minutes before half-time than Bournemouth in the Premier League this season with seven. In this instance, the trigger we're suggesting is for the 30-minute mark to pass, allowing you to choose your Newcastle scoring bet – whether that's to score first at 0-0 or to score next.
Man Utd vs Burnley
The trigger: Exact score: Man Utd 1-0 Burnley
The prediction: Man Utd to win
Vincent Kompany will be looking to get one over Man Utd again, as he did a fair few times during his playing career at Man City. However, if Man Utd scores first then his task will be a lot harder.
The Red Devils have a 100% record when they have scored first in the Premier League this season, winning all seven matches. With a trigger set for Man Utd to be 1-0 up, you can use this for any bet in the Red Devils' favour.
Wolves vs Gillingham
The trigger: Wolves team difference 2 goals
The prediction: No goal
This game brings the biggest gap between two sides in the 2022/23 EFL Cup fourth round, with Wolves in the Premier League and Gillingham the last remaining League Two side. Many expect this to be a comfortable victory for Wolves, even with any players still missing after the World Cup, but it may not be a rout.
Wolves have not scored in the final 15 minutes in a Premier League game this season, but their opponents haven't fared much better with Gillingham only managing five goals in that time (in 20 League Two games).
So if Wolves are comfortable in the game, two or three goals up for example (which can be tracked with your trigger) then back no more goals scored – or BTTS No if the Premier League side has kept a clean sheet up until that stage.
World Cup Golden Ball: Best player and most assists for...
World Cup added time: Why was there so much stoppage...


A vet at every spot. I thought Rowand was fine if we traded Winn or Roberts, and let Ortmeire take 500 AB at 1B and Frandsen the same at 2B. But when you ad a 35 year old 20 homer 1B to displace a 25 year old who could also hit 20 HR for 1/20th of the salary, you are just stabbing at .500.
I think that is Sabean's goal this year, just get to .500. Even if it means putting off winning another year. He's acting like he would give up 90 wins in 2010 if he could just muster 80 wins in 08.
I think we missed the boat on Mike Lamb. He is my pick for underrated player of the offseason.
Bill Hall could still be a good pick up for 3B.
I would only want Hall if Winn or Roberts were in the deal, and Cain, Lincecum, Lowry were not.
Rumor is the Brewers are looking for a corner infielder. Winn would be a good addition to that team IMO.
Then again, it looks like if the Brewers trade for Rolen, then they will simply move Braun to LF and keep Hall in center.
The only hope the Giants have of success is if they keep the rotation in tact. I'm not trading 1A or 1B, and I'm only trading Lowry for an impact bat, granted it would take a package that included Lowry.
The thing is Sabean has a knack, good or bad, to do something that nobody expected. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls some trade out of his a$$ that nobody expected or anticipated for a player(s) that nobody even thought about.
Still got a lot of time before pitchers and catchers report. In the meantime, anything can happen.
According to the Payroll thread we only have about [sign in to see URL] million to spend this season.
Trades are the only way we're getting anyone else.
Frandsen at 3B would be [sign in to see URL] with this young rotation and the whole confidence thing. Frandsen at 2B or nothing else, but nothing else it is looking like because the Giants wont pay Durham to ride pine.
That's another reason why the Giants need to give the younger guys like Schierholtz, Lewis, Davis, Ortmeier and Frandsen a chance to play. Otherwise the team is going to run smack into the same old problems of not being able to afford the right free agent or to keep the guys they do have around long term.
Also, who's to say that Sabean won't be able to dump a little salary, hopefully Roberts, on another team. The White Sox seem to be getting more and more desperate for a center fielder. Although Sabean kind of shot himself in the foot by announcing that "Roberts really isn't a true center fielder" earlier this year. Way to go Meat!

5 Powerful Quotes Calling Out The Racism Directed Towards Barack Obama
March 6, 2015 by Samuel Warde No Comments
Have you seen the recent push by conservative to impeach Barack Obama? Seriously. They think it's not too late to try to smear his legacy, not that our National Embarrassment-in-Chief isn't doing a good enough job with that at the moment.
Here's a collection of 5 detailed quotes discussing the racism that has been directed at President Obama over the years by conservatives.
We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics. Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he's treated.
We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.
The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.
When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bound.
I think people who are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be African American.
It's a racist attitude, and my hope is and my expectation is that in the future both Democratic leaders and Republican leaders will take the initiative in condemning that kind of unprecedented attack on the president of the United States.
It's really almost criminal what they do with our President. There seems to be no shame or anything. They call him all kinds of names all day long, saying he's doing certain things that he's not. It's just a big old political game that I don't want to be part of. There are people spending their lives putting him down. I'm sure some of it's true and some of it's not. I was very surprised to find the man very humble and he had a nice handshake. His wife was very cordial to the guests and especially me. They made a special effort to make me feel welcome. It was not at all the way the media described him to be.
There's also a dark — a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the [Republican] party. What do I mean by that? I mean by that that they still sort of look down on minorities. How can I evidence that?
When I see a former governor say that the President is "shuckin' and jivin'," that's racial era slave term. When I see another former governor after the president's first debate where he didn't do very well, says that the president was lazy. He didn't say he was slow. He was tired. He didn't do well. He said he was lazy. Now, it may not mean anything to most Americans, but to those of us who are African Americans, the second word is shiftless and then there's a third word that goes along with that. The birther, the whole birther movement. Why do senior Republican leaders tolerate this kind of discussion within the party?
Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell
Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that's despicable.

Abstract: In this review we present the recent advances for calculations of the reactions $NN\to NN\pi$ using chiral effective field theory. Discussed are the next-to-next-to leading order loop contributions with nucleon and Delta-isobar for near threshold s-wave pion production. Results of recent experimental pion-production data for energies close to the threshold are analyzed. Several particular applications are discussed: (i) it is shown how the measured charge symmetry violating pion-production reaction can be used to extract the strong-interaction contribution to the proton-neutron mass difference; (ii) the role of $NN\to NN\pi$ for the extraction of the pion-nucleon scattering lengths from pionic atoms data is illuminated.

Rome's history spans 28 centuries and it is one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. Nowdays is the capital of Italy. The Vatican City is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.
Rome is the fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. Public parks and nature reserves cover a large area in Rome, and the city has one of the largest areas of green space among European capitals.
In 2016, Rome ranked as the 14th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy.
Although the city centre is about 24 kilometres (15 mi) inland from the Tyrrhenian Sea, the city territory extends to the shore, where the south-western district of Ostia is located. The altitude of the central part of Rome ranges from 13 metres (43 ft) above sea level (at the base of the Pantheon) to 139 metres (456 ft) above sea level (the peak of Monte Mario).
The city hosts eight ancient Egyptian and five ancient Roman obelisks, together with a number of more modern obelisks; there was also formerly (until 2005) an ancient Ethiopian obelisk in Rome.
Rome today is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and art treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent "villas" (parks).
Rome is also widely recognised as a world fashion capital. Although not as important as Milan, Rome is the fourth most important centre for fashion in the world, according to the 2009 Global Language Monitor after Milan, New York and Paris, and beating London.
Major luxury fashion houses and jewelry chains, such as Valentino, Bulgari, Fendi,Laura Biagiotti, Brioni and Renato Balestra, are headquartered or were founded in the city.
Also, other major labels, such as Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Versace have luxury boutiques in Rome, primarily along its prestigious and upscale Via dei Condotti.
Rome is since 9 April 1956 exclusively and reciprocally twinned only with Paris, France with a mutual saying: "Only Paris is worthy of Rome; only Rome is worthy of Paris".

Boardwalk Empire Season 2 Episode 8 'Two Boats and a Lifeguard' Synopsis & Preview Video 11/13/11
BY Robyn Good on November 7, 2011 | Comments: Leave Comments
Related : Boardwalk Empire, Recap, TV
HBO will be back with the Eighth episode of Boardwalk Empire next week and it is called 'Two Boats and a Lifeguard.' Last night's episode was really exciting and a lot happened. Nucky's brother Eli showed us once again what a horrible person he is. He supported the idea to have Nucky killed and get rid of him once and for all. Even Jimmy had mixed feelings about killing Nucky. Margaret went to Brooklyn to meet her family from Ireland but the reunion was not all that she hoped for. Owen brutally kills a traitor and later has a surprising romantic conquest. If you missed the episode you can read our official recap here!
Two Boats and a Lifeguard Synopsis: Nucky turns to Arnold Rothstein for political advice in the aftermath of a personal loss, but Eli remains unsure of his brother's motives. Meanwhile, Angela makes a new acquaintance on the beach and learns more about her husband's business methods; Owen mulls an opportunity to go home; and Jimmy's power play makes life tough for Mickey Doyle.
The preview opens with Prosecutor Esther Randolph saying to Nucky, "They are trying to kill you Mr. Thompson." To which Nucky replies "So go after them." In last night's episode the assassin that was hired to kill Nucky failed and he was saved by a Federal agent. I guess poor Nucky is going to have to thank Esther for saving his life. Next Jimmy is in the preview saying, "It's a new day, to the victors go the spoils." One thing is clear from the preview Nucky is not giving in. He says at one point, "I should bow down to these greedy bastards because they want what I have?" All this and more is in the preview below.
Did you watch last night's show? I loved it, how about you? Take a look at the preview video and let us know what you think in the comments below!
"Two Boats and a Lifeguard" will air Sunday November 13th, 2011 on HBO.

Q: Why JavaCompiler is slow while instantiating a Java class? I'm using JavaCompiler to dyamically create a Java class, compile it and load in my application.
My problem is the following: the execution time with JavaCompiler is much slower than the standard way to instantiate the same class.
Here an example:
static void function() {
        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        String source = "package myPackage; import java.util.BitSet; public class MyClass{ static {";

        while (!OWLMapping.axiomStack.isEmpty()) {
            source += OWLMapping.axiomStack.pop() + ";";
        }

        source += "} }";

        File root = new File("/java");
        File sourceFile = new File(root, "myPackage/MyClass.java");
        sourceFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
        Files.write(sourceFile.toPath(), source.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

        // Compile source file.
        JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
        compiler.run(null, null, null, sourceFile.getPath());

        // Load and instantiate compiled class.
        URLClassLoader classLoader = URLClassLoader.newInstance(new URL[] { root.toURI().toURL() });
        Class<?> cls = Class.forName("myPackage.MyClass", true, classLoader);

        long stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long elapsedTime = stopTime - startTime;
        System.out.println("EXECUTION TIME: " + elapsedTime);
    }

After measuring this code, I created a new java Class with the same content of the var source to test the performance: it is much faster than the JavaCompiler way. (I cannot use a standard class because in my application I need to create it dynamically).
So, is it possible to improve the performance of this code? Or this low performance is normal?
EDIT: the generated code I also tested is a simple sequence of OWLAPI axioms:
package myPackage;

public class myClass{

static {

myPackage.OWLMapping.manager.addAxiom(myPackage.OWLMapping.ontology,   myPackage.OWLMapping.factory.getOWLSubClassOfAxiom(/*whatever*/);
myPackage.OWLMapping.manager.addAxiom(myPackage.OWLMapping.ontology,myPackage.OWLMapping.factory.getOWLSubClassOfAxiom(/*whatever*/);
myPackage.OWLMapping.manager.addAxiom(myPackage.OWLMapping.ontology,myPackage.OWLMapping.factory.getOWLSubClassOfAxiom(/*whatever*/);

}

}

and this exactly what the variable source contains.
The number of axioms depends on the user's input.

A: You have two areas which are likely to be slow (but your benchmarks combine the two areas).
The first is in building the Java String which contains your source code.  When appending Strings across different statements, the JVM can't optimize them into StringBuilders which means that first it creates the string on one side of the append, then the String on the other, then it creates a third String resulting from the two being appended.  This puts a lot of pressure on the heap and garbage collection, generating lots of objects which are nearly immediately garbage collected.
To fix the first problem, create a StringBuilder and call it's .append(...).
The second problem is that you are instantiating a JavaCompiler.  The compiler used to compile Java programs may have one class driving it at the top level, but it will source in tons of supporting classes to fill out its private fields and the embedded includes.  Finally, when running that, more objects will be created to hold the code, the Lexer, the Parser, the AST of the CompilationUnit, and eventually the byte-code emitter.  This means that the one lines of code
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
compiler.run(null, null, null, sourceFile.getPath());

Are likely (again they are not independently benchmarked) to take some time.
Finally, the class loader lines interact with the class loading system, and might be poorly adapted for performance.  While it's a smaller chance it's a big performance hit, I'd benchmark that line independently too.

What's it like to be a community interpreter? Before you go to the trouble to get trained and certified, don't you wish you could tag along with someone first, just to see what it's like?
Attached is the information about a day of my work.
7:00 a.m. Left home for work and spent 20-30 minutes in traffic and looking for parking.
7:30 – 7:45 Got my schedule and checked e-mails.
7:45 – 9:00 Hospital OB triage emergency, 25-year-old woman. Complicated pregnancy, baby in distress, and chances of survival were minimal, so patient was admitted. Patient's husband was present, he was an English speaker. Simultaneous interpretation.
9:05 – 10:00 Physical and occupational therapy session. 59-year-old woman under contact precautions with a tracheostomy, feeding tube, evaluation for outpatient rehabilitation vs. skilled nursing facility.
10:00 – 11:00 Clinic appointment: general surgery visit for 55-year-old woman. Weight loss surgery consultation, discussed surgery options and diet information.
11:30 – 12:30 Pediatric oncology appointment. Patient with a rare condition to receive bone marrow transplant in a different state. Very emotional, patient very worried about younger sibling being the possible donor.
15-year-old girl, ankle fracture. X-ray, cast and follow up with orthopedics.
42-year-old man, abdominal pain. General surgery consultation possible gallbladder removal.
67-year-old woman. Cardiology consult, patient to be admitted to rule out congestive heart failure.
3:15 – 3:55 Pediatric cardiology appointment. 9-month-old boy sent home after heart transplant in Denver, was then admitted due to low oxygen level. Follow up for discharge.
4:00 – 4:30 Drove back home!
4:00 – 6:00 Made dinner and spent time at home with family.
6:00 – 6:15 Gathered all materials for conference.
6:15 – 6:45 Drove to hotel, found parking and set up system for simultaneous interpretation.
7:00 – 8:45 Simultaneous interpretation for a conference opening with a panel of 3 speakers.
8:45 – 9:00 Collected headsets from clients and put system away.
9:00 – 9:20 Finally, home.
Whew! By my count, our community interpreter provided services for at least 17 patients and family members in that one day – and that doesn't even count the providers who were depending on her. She served patients as yet unborn and as old as 83, with conditions as simple as a fractured ankle and as complex as a bone marrow transplant. Imagine how grateful the patients and families were to see our interpreter there – and imagine what it would have been like trying to navigate all these health problems without being able to understand the doctor.
I'm very proud of my job, and I enjoy helping others.
This is the life of a community interpreter then: running from crisis to crisis, staying as calm as a cucumber, and providing the essential communication link that allows providers to be effective and patients to be healed. What a gift to the world!

Vigoe and Bonzai are really incredible at any task. Today we decided to finish the wallpapering we started last Thursday. You'd think they were shy about taking over, but not so. They have talents and they use them.
So after listening to the speech given by Mr. Khan at the DNC, and a parallel clip of Mr. Welch at the McCarthy hearings in the 1950's, and listening to the ABC Stephanopolous-Trump interview, we decided to start cutting, pasting and papering. Very important to get a dose of American politics once a day. I'm making sure they get the best of the day and an historical parallel.
Viki is the first person I've ever known who can paper a wall so deftly.
Very strong, very clever, very quick.
Woodlawn Inn has a beautiful new office now. It's quite lovely with the new wallpaper. We'll post a final picture when done, but this is the first wall! Yahoo!!


San Antonio state Rep. Joaquin Castro, who's challenging U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett for the Democratic nomination in a new U.S. House district, knows better than to pick on Doggett in front of local Democrats who consider the incumbent a hometown hero.
But cloaked in the proper respect etiquette demands, Castro, at a Central Texas Democratic Forum session on Tuesday, hinted at what could be his campaign to come — an effort to paint Doggett as an irrelevant lawmaker.
"First, I want to say I know I'm in Austin," Castro said. "I know there are many folks who have known Lloyd over the years and regard him as a good Democrat, a strong Democrat. And if you look at his voting record I think that that is true."
But it takes more than a voting record to be effective, said Castro, who will face Doggett in the new San Antonio-Austin district that has a large Hispanic population, as well as folks who have supported Doggett for decades.
"Look, I have a 100 percent voting record with labor," Castro said. "I have a 100 percent voting record on the environment. ... And a 100 percent voting record for teachers. But I also understand that in politically difficult environments, if you don't have the numbers with you, you just can't yell and scream, that you have to find other ways to be effective. You can hold up your principles, but you're also going to have to be pragmatic. That doesn't mean selling out and it doesn't mean cutting deals. What it means is that you spend every night and day thinking about not only how you can call (opponents) out but how you can effectively get what you want for your constituents. And that's what I spent my time in the Legislature doing."
With that, Q-and-A began. The second question invited Castro to critique Doggett. That's when he praised Doggett's voting record, but added, "Not only do you have to have a good voting record as a good Democrat, but I think you've got to be strategic about being effective and getting things done."
The final questioner asked Castro to expand on that.
"There will be times when you need to hold your ground and you need to make your point," Castro added, "but if you serve in a legislative body, that equals about 10 or 15 percent of the votes." The rest of the time, he said, must be about getting things done. I asked Castro if that was a criticism of Doggett.
"I think that when you're in the minority party and the numbers are not on your side, you have to be willing to do two things that can sometimes be at odds. You have to be willing to very firmly call out the Republicans, for example, when they're doing something that you and your constituents don't agree with. At the same time, you have to do it in a way that doesn't burn so many bridges that you become irrelevant in the chamber."
Me: "Is Lloyd Doggett irrelevant in the chamber?"
Castro: "I'm going to let him explain his record over the course of his career. I think that's fair."
Me: "But you're happy to plant the seed in people's minds that they should think about whether Lloyd Doggett is ineffective (I meant to say 'irrelevant') in the chamber?"
Castro: "I can say that I think if you look at my record, I've been someone, in my voting record, in the press conferences and on the (Texas) House floor, that's been principled, that's called out the Republicans, but has also found a way to be effective."
Me: "And you don't think (Doggett) has done it, as well?"
Castro: "That's my comment, Ken."
"It is precisely because Rep. Lloyd Doggett is so effective and has seniority on two of the most powerful committees of Congress (Budget, and Ways and Means) that Governor Perry has insisted on a Perrymandering map that denies so many of the congressman's neighbors an opportunity to vote for him."


Ohio's biennial budget was signed into law June 29, 2017 by Gov. John Kasich, and includes a number of important tax provisions that signal a victory for Ohio CPAs who have long advocated for reforms of Ohio's complicated tax structure. Am. Sub. House Bill 49 is the culmination of decades of work by OSCPA's grassroots network, Government Relations team and the Society's Ohio Tax Reform Task Force.
If you have questions about the provisions in the Ohio Budget, contact OSCPA's Government Relations team.
Read the Administration's summary of the budget bill package released Jan. 30.
Governor Mike DeWine on March 15 unveiled his fiscal year 20-21 biennial budget for the State of Ohio.
There were many pieces of legislation that positively affected the profession and protected the work done by Ohio's CPAs, and several potentially harmful legislative and regulatory efforts were successfully blocked.
Ohioans might notice a bit more money in their paychecks beginning Jan. 1.
With Election Day approaching quickly, it's no surprise that stories OSCPA-endorsed candidates would chart in October's most read stories.


There is no right, there is no wrong. What if you could have everything you wanted and you were able to step outside of fear and stand in the yes of life?
Try this on for size, this week pick one day and any time someone invites you to do something you say yes. This experiment involves you getting out of your ego, pessimistic state of mind and go into the experience by full of curiosity.
What is the worst that could happen? You end up at a lunch that you didn't plan on. At that lunch you meet someone while waiting in line that has one of the biggest business deals of your career. Or you get a free lunch. Or you learn something new about a co-worker that allows your work relationship and communication to thrive.
Humans get cough up in their reasons and the life they live completely out of habit. You have identified yourself as someone and you customize your entire world to fit that picture you have painted. You are a mom, so you tell yourself that you cant travel or take time to go to the gym. You are "Type A" so you tell yourself that you can't do something spontaneous. You are unorganized so you tell yourself that you can be late for all of your meetings. There is a entirely different option out there and it all starts by saying yes.
You get to say "yes and…" fill in the blank.
Yes I will go to lunch and will you drive?
Yes, I will go on the snowboarding trip and I will keep my job.
Yes, I will be a mom and a badass.
Yes, I will be an engineer and a personal trainer.
Drop the either or that you have decided your life has to be and start living the life that you always dreamed.
Start with one simple "yes" this week.
Have a fantastic marriage and be in an open relationship.
Hit a PR in the gym.
Have the hard conversation with your lover.
Whatever it is that is holding you back? I challenge you to go on the other side of your reasons and start customizing your life.
Register for the program you have always dreamt of but you dont know where the money is going to come from or you don't know what hotel you would stay in. The point of this exercise is start somewhere. By registering for the program you are saying "yes!" Then all of the other situations/hows will fall together. You are telling the universe a direction and the how's will start to show up. Give into the "WHAT" drives you and the hows, the paths, the money will start to align.
Have you always wanted to travel to another state but just were too scared or didnt know what would happen or you didnt have anyone to go with? Well this is your opportunity to do some research and get on the other side of your reasons. Start with the What, say yes and book the flight. Then all of your excitement will fuel the conversations you have with people. All of these conversations a random friend might become your co-traveler, someone might tell you about a great deal they got on a rental car and someone might give you a lead on an amazing adventure they recommend when you get there.
Build #theYESandLife of your dreams.
These are 5 things that will help set your online dating profile apart for the mediocre and help you communicate who you are through the screen.
I was on vacation alone in Fort Lauderdale, FL (I do this every other year) and I decided to take myself to dinner. I put on a favorite dress and a pair of new pink flip-flops and allowed Google to give me walking directions to a restaurant on the causeway.
The staff seated me on the dock at The Pirates Republic while the owner of the restaurant suggested a meal for me. My back was facing towards the restaurant and I sat in peace, drink in hand, watching the sun set over the water.
My time alone turned into a dateless date when three hilarious gentleman were seated behind me. I could tell by their voices that they were in the age range of 55-65 and then then one of their son's who was 20 joined them.
Man A: In a relationship with a woman from Michigan and happy, had experience dating online, had been on 52 different coffee dates and owns his own yachting company.
Man B: The father of the 20 year old, currently on Match.com, having a hard time finding someone, owns a construction roofing business. Felt like women only showing pictures of them in exotic places is fake. He felt like he had "thrown back" some of the good fish to keep some bad. He is convinced that Midwest girls are sweet and yet hard working.
Son: Working as a roofer and was out of his previous relationship but still talked to his ex girlfriend every day. Convinced that girls from Wisconsin are crazy.
As the evening evolved these three made me laugh and their advice to each other and conversation were pure GOLD. Man A was trying to give advice to Man B about what to do with his Match.com profile to get him to stand out. The three decided that you shouldn't marry someone unless you've been together for 5 years and been living together for 18 months.
I paid for my meal. I got up to leave and finally got to turn around to see the faces of the three men. I thanked them for making my evening very entertaining.
I told Man A that I had double the number of first dates that he had been on. They were so intrigued, they asked me to join them. I confirmed and suggested to all three that coffee dates are the perfect way to meet someone. You can tell if they are interest within the first 5 minutes, so there is no reason to spend more than $5.
To Man B, I began to describe the "big 5" that I suggested he needed to include in his dating profile.
Something that will make them think or research.
I described to the group how I would have put these into practice.
I would include that fitness is a non negotiable, but the way I would describe this in my profile is bold and direct. "I workout daily and if you don't currently lift I'm likely stronger than you. I am also a personal trainer but not yours." This describes that I mean business and that I am not interested in adding clients.
"I meditate daily." This describes that this is a huge part of my life and if it doesn't match their view point it could be a point of contention in the long run.
"You could describe my personality as Jameson on the rocks." I wouldn't say why but this leaves it as a conversation starter. I asked someone how they would describe me and this was PERFECT so, I ran with it. I suggest you talk to a sibling or a best friend and see what they say.
"RFFYM, and I cook accordingly." This stands for Real Food Fits Your Macros. If someone didn't know this expression they would have to look it up but also would get a good idea about how I eat and that I can cook. If they get to this point and they actually research the topic… they are probably pretty interested and are likely to start up a conversation.
Overall there are plenty of things that you can include but setting yourself apart from the masses will allow you to sort out the individuals that are not actually interested. I also suggested that you talk about yourself vs. what you're looking for.
He likes someone shorter than him.
He likes a Midwest girl because he feels like they are hard working and sweet.
He likes to travel but appreciates more of the adventurous spirit vs. the lavish.
He loves to spend time with his kids.
Work around the house is something he enjoyed.
Something that you do daily.
Construction is my life; I am always looking at the way things are built or the next project.
You can describe my personality as a 6′ gentle giant. (This way he could talk about how he is kind but also likes someone that is a bit shorter than him).
I hate lavish meet ups that don't go anywhere. Let's actually go somewhere, coffee and a stroll or drive. You pick the spot.
Favorite Midwest City is Chicago.
I made sure they knew that they needed to set standards for both themselves and a partner. Take a serious look at their online profiles and don't just say "Hey". She is never going to respond if that's all you say.
I feel like the few minutes I spent with them made an impact and they not only laughed but also will take a serious look at their online profiles. Be strong, have conviction and don't settle.
Featured Photo: Jameson on the rocks, a whole red snapper at the Pirates Republic in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is fantastic and the staff are top notch! I recommend everyone check this place out!
The reality is that I hate doing the dishes but I also use an insane amount of Tupperware during the week. When I get home every day from work I have about 3-5 bags with me that I dump in the living room. I don't wash the table besides once a week. I wash my hair maybe 2-3 times per week and shave my legs probably 2 times per week. My kitchen is tiny and I live alone.
When I am around my friends they see the chaos and the mess in the kitchen but if you open the fridge it is organized AF!!!
I do chores throughout the week but typically wait for Friday night clean up all the dishes. And by Sunday the house is ready for another week of messes.
A relationship had developed from strictly fiends to potentially more. (It's all in the context). He has only seen me as the hot mess friend. A whirlwind of dirty hair, gym clothes, Tupperware and an artistic flare. As soon as the context changed… I changed.
I walked into the house and found it in its typical messy insanity. Dishes everywhere and out of order.
In the context of friends… he had seen my house a mess and me in just sweats, wet hair and glasses.
Now in this new context of possibly moving the relationship from friends to potentially more the mess wasn't presentable.
I walked in and there is a mound of dishes! I knew I didn't have time to wash them so… this happened.
Yep… I shoved all the dishes underneath the sink. Then there were still more dishes so I filled my work cooler. I dry shaved my legs, put on clean clothes, took down my hair (this never happens), wiped down the table, shoved my work bags into a closet and started cooking for us.
It is amazing what you will do to look good in fear of looking bad. I am writing this and laughing at myself. I am committed to showing up as the real human. No more fear, just reality.
Ready for the real reflection?
All relationships are a mirror.
You may not be ready for it and when the relationship is going sour, it can be hard but you need to take a deep dive inside during these hard times so both people in the relationship can rise.
The universe will provide you each person who you need at exactly the right time in order for you to peel away a layer and understand more about yourself. You just have to be ready and willing to stare that mirror in the face until you can figure out what it is reflecting back on you.
It all rolls back to you. Instead of point the finger at the other person, I recommend that you first need to start by pointing it at yourself. If you actually take this look inside you will see how or the ways you changed yourself during that relationship. What "little things" did that person do to you or what are the things that just drove you crazy? What were you not able to communicate? What were you not able to hear in what they were saying. What filter are you seeing them through. What blinders have you put on.
When he/she said they want you to be honest no matter what, and then you just omitted some of the details, then you did not hear what they said.
I am not condoning violence or verbal abuse or any bad situations.
I want everyone to take a dive inside and REALLY look at yourself. How are you hearing people and what of your personal issues are you filtering conversations through?
Sometimes mirrors show up that you may not be ready for. If you are not ready to look yourself in the mirror in a pit-fall of a relationship, you will create the same issue inside a different one. (Sound familiar? "I just cant seem to meet a nice guy/girl?" "I only date bad guys/girls." ) Sometimes when you wake up and realize it was you… then you can see people and old relationships through a whole new lens and possibility.
This work is hard. This work is meaningful but this hard, meaningful work on yourself will allow your relationships and your communication to soar.
There is so much opportunity if you are willing to be vulnerable and listen to your own stories you are see people live into. It takes two to tango and 50% of that relationship is you vs. 100% of what is being done "to you".
Watch your patterns and see them and when someone asks you about them instead of becoming defensive really look at why things are stressing you out. It is an internal reflection that is there for you to choose.
I recently went through this with a partner. They wouldn't respond to my calls or my messages. I had a bit of a melt down but then choose to look inside to see what was wrong with me. I couldn't understand what I had done wrong to change them and push them away. After a few days, I was able to finally see later that the way I was acting was also pushing them away. When I go up into my head instead of just sharing with them I create the push away.
By me not sharing that they had not called me babe I was creating an emotional barrier of "I guess I am not good enough." By sharing this vulnerability and need I opened myself up and shared how it affected me and then was able to get into their shoes and really support them through their own struggles. By sharing where my brain goes and telling them I was not feeling "good enough" we broke down a mirror and we are able to see eachother again.
The reason you see it in someone else is because you can see it inside yourself.
What reflections are you ready to see? What ones are you working on? Which ones keep showing up?

How would you like to look like your kitchen appliances in the future? And what features do you want to have? Did you think about that? In a future scenario, food management will be just piece of cake, at least it shows this efficient and high-tech refrigerator, My Fridge.
Tomorrow refrigerator concept in Fabian Kreuzer and Markus Lorenz Schilling' vision will use RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology that will collects data about quality, quantity, expiration date and even recipes for the products you'll have in your fridge. My Fridge will be able throught an unique touch-screen interactive display to show you what's inside your fridge without even open it, giving you in the same time inspiration for what to eat at that moment or in the near future via its digital cookbook.
Additional information like shopping facilities or an indication for missing groceries will be just a finger tip away.In order to see if this idea works and also to detect problems, designers built a prototype to test the concept on a functional refrigerator, which is able to display and to process an operation process.

Greyhound racing on a Sunday night returned to Gawler on the holiday weekend ( for this week only) and attracted an excellent crowd.
In the first race on the program, a 400m Maiden event, Shakshukka jumped from box 3 to quickly up the front running, but was then headed by Senni Max (6).Setting a fast pace, Senni Max was able to maintain the lead, going on to win by 1 ½ lengths in a good Maiden winning time of 22.91 secs. Second was Jervois Boy (4) for Tim Richards of Meningie, with Shakshukka running third for Paul Fagan of Calomba.
Senni Max is trained at Williamstown by Peter Wilton, and raced by his daughter Mariane, who was disappointed that she had a prior engagement and missed the opportunity to witness the win. A veterinary nurse, Mariane loves greyhounds because of their good nature and ease of handling.
Peter has been involved in greyhounds for over twenty years, being introduced through his neighbour, who is well known greyhound vet and breeder Jane McNicholl, also sharing a common interest in horse riding. Peter explained that he has not had many greyhounds over that period, as he keeps his dogs from racing right through their retirement, and then seeks out a replacement. Peter loves to see greyhounds run on his property and at the track, considering them to be the "ultimate racing machine".
"Max" was originally raced in Victoria, and came into Peter's care when the previous owner sent the dog to SA and then decided to part company with the dog. After a couple of breaks in racing, Max returned to the track in February and ran a second placing at Gawler, with an improved time. Peter considers Max to be a good beginner, and he was concerned that he had drawn a little wide in box 6, but he need not have worried. Max has proven difficult to place in the boxes, and Peter was grateful for the excellent effort today of Jayde Hurley, who achieved that without a hitch. Peter was joined on the track for his photo by his neighbour's daughter Jade McInerney, who described Max as "adorable'. The white and blue dog has had just the 7 starts for a win and three second placings, so he now maybe ready to show his best with his new trainer.
Racing is held at Gawler every Friday and Tuesday afternoon, and another Sunday night meeting will be conducted on 31st March, in lieu of Friday 29th.


Mumbai: Actor, comedian and digital influencer Ssumier Pasricha had a busy morning whilst reeling in the comments coming in after coloring his hair in peacock green. Ssumier also known as Pammi Aunty disclosed his hair makeover on his social networking sites & soon started getting thumbs up for trying an unusual color.
But the actor believes his favorite comments came in from the girls at the salon, "I was visiting my salon for a regular hair cut & he suggested I try this new color that many rather shy away from. Honestly I was skeptical but I gave in as anything that makes me wonder challenges me. I went ahead, I was prepared if it would go wrong I would color them back black. But the reactions I got from the ladies got me gushing."
"Although I tend to think a lot before trying something new but I always make sure I do it for the peace of my mind. Come to think of it Pammi Aunty was an experiment, it opened so many doors of opportunities for me. I have 3 tattoos on my body & they're all unusual. I guess this insanity keeps me sane. Leaving everything back home in Delhi behind & moving to Mumbai was also a risk, an experiment. What is life without experiments & now I have some color too."

New flagship Kia dealership to open in August
by Colin Channon
Paul Philpott, left, with Yuki Yoshimoto, the chairman of Norton Way Motors, James Cho, the chief executive co-ordinator of Kia, and David Granger, the MD of Norton Way
A NEW flagship dealership for Kia is to open on the Great West Road in Brentford in August.
Kia has confirmed the dealership will be operated by Norton Way Group and will trade as GWR Kia.
The highly-visible site is part of Kia's plans to push the brand forward in the UK, and will see the dealership take centre stage on the M4 elevated section, one of Britain's busiest commuter roads.
Paul Philpott, CEO and president at Kia, said: 'We're excited about the opening of this UK flagship dealership. This is a highly-prominent site, which sees over 27 million vehicles pass by each year. We feel this is the next step in raising the profile of Kia and look forward to the doors opening in August to new and existing Kia customers in west London.'
The 41,000 sq ft dealership is split into four floors including a multi-level showroom, increasing visibility to passing cars on the M4 elevated section. The top floor level will feature a stunning, entirely glass façade, angled towards the M4, which will showcase Kia's vehicles to the 75,000 people who pass every day, on their way in and out of the capital.
The top floor space will also feature a 17 metres x four metres-high LED display screen.
Norton Way Group will operate the Great West Road Kia dealership, adding to their highly-successful dealerships in London, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
David Grainger, managing director of Norton Way Motors Ltd, said: 'We're delighted to be adding the first flagship Kia dealership to our portfolio. We think the unique, original design of the dealership will attract customers in from far and wide, where they can then take advantage of Kia's seven-year warranty and range of excellent deals.'
The Norton Way Group is an established dealer which has been operating in west London for more than 13 years and in Hertfordshire for more than 25 years. Kia will be the ninth dealership in the group.
The dealership will be kitted out with the latest technology available in the market place, with 3D headsets for waiting customers, an iPad customer experience area and NFC (near field communication) technology being placed around the building to support key marketing messages. One area that NFC will be used is within the café to send a signal and message to customers when their vehicle is ready after a service.
The ground floor will display the whole Kia range for customers to view and test drive. The café, with seating for more than 40 people, will also be open to the public. Used cars will be housed in a spacious first-floor showroom with space inside and out so customers can view the full range of stock.

Q: Rcpp: Multiply two NumericVectors while subsetting one of them I have two NumericVectors A and B. The following multiplication works fine when subsetting the vector B beforehand:
NumericVector B_sub  = B[A - 1];
NumericVector res    = A * B_sub;

When I try to do
NumericVector res = A * B[A - 1];

it yields the error

invalid operands to binary expression ('NumericVector' (aka 'Vector<14>') and 'SubsetProxy<14, PreserveStorage, 14, true,
  Rcpp::sugar::Minus_Vector_Primitive<14, true, Rcpp::Vector<14,
  PreserveStorage> > >')

I suppose this is a common error type in C++. I am an economics student who is involved with R and python but C++ is a new world for me.
So why is this operation not valid using Rcpp syntactic sugar? Is there a way to make it possible using a type conversion or something similar?

Here is a reproducible myFun.cpp file:
#include <Rcpp.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace Rcpp;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector myFun(NumericVector B) {
  NumericVector A      = wrap(seq_len(B.size()));
  NumericVector B_sub  = B[A - 1];
  NumericVector res    = A * B_sub;
  // NumericVector res = A * B[A - 1];
  return res;
}

and the R-Code to use myFun:
library(Rcpp)
sourceCpp("myFun.cpp")
myFun(1:10)

A: You can use as<NumericVector>(). Create the following "myFun.cpp":
#include <Rcpp.h>

using namespace Rcpp;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector myFun(NumericVector B) {
    NumericVector A   = wrap(seq_len(B.size()));
    NumericVector res = A * as<NumericVector>(B[A - 1]);
    return res;
}

/*** R
myFun(1:10)
*/

Then source and see the results:
library(Rcpp)
sourceCpp("myFun.cpp")

> myFun(1:10)
