Hawaiian Christmas Music? Right on!
Aloha Kalikimaka!
Hui! Aloha mai!
Christmas is right around the corner. And that means that everywhere I go, I hear Christmas music Piped in over the loudspeakers at stores, at holiday parties, on television and the radio, my world is filled with the sounds of the season.
Here in NYC, we hear a lot of the "traditional" recordings. The standards, recorded by the greats like Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Julie Andrews, Nat King Cole, Burl Ives, Brenda Lee et al. (You know the ones I'm talking about, right?)
And please don't get me wrong. I LOVE those songs.
But as a Hawaiian Crooner, I need some holiday tunes with an Aloha-infused, Hawaiian vibe to help ring in the holiday spirit.
And I'm guessing YOU do, too.
So this year, I thought I would share a list of some of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE HAWAIIAN CHRISTMAS ALBUMS. Culled from my personal Hawaiian Christmas music collection–which is far from complete–these albums are in constant rotation in our home during the holiday season. Each of 'em are full of great tracks that will make you smile.

The Crooner's Weekly "TOP 5″ (5.30.12)
Aloha kākou!
I always have my iPod with me. It's my personal jukebox.
Living in New York City, I spend a lot of time traveling underground via subway–and those rides can be long and boring! But having a collection of great music with me at all times keeps me from losing my mind. I can escape to a tropical isle with the push of a button. Portable paradise!
Here are the TOP 5 SONGS from my iPod this week:
1. Manowaiopuna (The Royal Hawaiian Serenaders' recording on the album Legends Of Waikiki)
I love a great vintage recording of a great Hawaiian song, don't you?
And the Royal Hawaiian Serenaders' recording of this song, also known as KOʻULA, is one of my favorites. Their arrangement is simple–nothing flashy or showy (other than the stellar falsetto!) which really allows the beauty of this classic song to shine through.
Triple love it. True story.
*Please click HERE to read a great bio via the amazing Territorial Airwaves website.
2. Kuʻu Pua Pakalana (Natalie Ai Kamauu's recording on the album ʻĀ)
For the second week in a row, this song is my obsession. Still listening to it over and over. Still singing it when I wake up in the morning. What do they call that? An "earworm" right?
(I'm so happy that I still love it and that it's not driving me crazy by now!)
It's contemporary and timeless at the same time.
According to the album's liner notes, she says she wrote it to honor her son, Chaz.
It brings tears to my eyes and warms my heart.

(** Crooner Note: Congrats to Natalie for her Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award this year: Female Vocalist of the Year!)
3. Nā Vaqueros (Kuana Torres Kahale's recording on the album Kaunaloa)
I was on the treadmill this week and this song started to play. I actually stopped the treadmill to look to see who was singing. I had been zoning out (one of the benefits/hazards of running on a treadmill) and I heard the Spanish lyrics and was confused for a minute… I thought I'd been listening to Kuana Torres Kahele. Then I recognized the song and had to laugh!
I love it for so many reasons: it's beautiful, for sure. It has a strangely familiar feel to it–I hear a lot of Spanish music living in NYC. So it's familiar that way. And yet it also has a traditional hula feel to it, too! How cool is that?!
*Please click HERE to visit Kuana's website.
(**Crooner Note: This whole album rocks my world. And it rocked the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards this year, too! A giant CONGRATS to Kuana for all of the recognition he received for this outstanding album: Album of the Year, Hawaiian Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year (Nā Vaqueros) and Liner Notes! Fantastic!)
4. Over (Keahiwai's recording on the album Local Girls)
I was feeling homesick for my friends/family on Oʻahu this week. And this song, recorded by the fantastic duo known as Keahiwai, always takes me back.
It's totally contemporary–well, it was released in 2001, but that's contemporary in my world. A mild "Jawaiian" feel to it. It makes me want to head out to the North Shore and watch some surfing and catch some time in the sun and sand. I love how it makes me feel.
It takes me back to happy times, for sure!
5. Waimaka Helelei (Dennis Kamakahi & Stephen Inglis' recording on the album Waimaka Helelei)
You guys know how much I love Uncle Dennis Kamakahi! And this song (& album!) that he recorded with Stephen Inglis is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
I think this song will enter into the classic/staple Hawaiian song category very soon. So simple–yes. Verses are only 2 lines long. But so deep! It pays tribute to the folks that lived at Kalaupapa–the colony for those affected by leprosy (Hansen's Disease)–located on the island of Molokai.
We've needed a song like this for so long. And finally, it's here. A giant MAHALO to Uncle Dennis for writing it. And to Stephen for sharing his musical gifts. Individually, they are fantastic musicians. As a duo, these guys are incredible.
*At the time of this writing, Uncle Dennis shares this song AND the lyrics on his website. Just click HERE to visit the site and listen to this song!

(**Crooner Note: CONGRATS to Uncle Dennis and Stephen for their Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award for this album: Slack Key Album of the Year! Right on!)
What are YOU listening to? Drop me a line and let me know!
And, as always, a giant MAHALO to Puna and the gang at www.mele.com for being an awesome Hawaiian music resource. You all make the world a better place! I'm DEFINITELY thankful for that!

The Crooner's Weekly "TOP 5″ (5.9.12)
1. Aloha Kuʻu Pua (Alvin Kaleolani Isaacs's recording on the album Night Club Hula…Hawaiian Style)
This recording of Alvin Kaleolani Isaacs & His Royal Hawaiians makes me smile. I mean, it makes my heart smile. I love this song–a declaration of love. Four verses–each verse only 2 lines long. And yet it says so much!
His delivery of the song is simple and elegant. A true Hawaiian crooner!
It calls to mind images of Waikīkī and live music on the beach.
2. Rain Kilikilihune (Auntie Agnes Malabey Weisbarth & the Makaha Serenaders' recording on the album Sunset at Makaha)
Are you looking for strong female voices? Tight vocal harmonies? Simple yet powerful arrangements? A song in the classic Hawaiian style? Then you're in luck! This is it!
Auntie Agnes (I'm told she went by "Aggie") and the Makaha Serenaders rock my world. This whole album has a backyard "kanikapila"/jam session feel to it. And it's a jam session with world class musicians! Right on!
3. Mele O Lānaʻi (Weldon Kekauoha's recording on the album Ka Lehu ʻUla)
We don't hear enough songs about the wonderful island of Lānaʻi.
Thankfully, this classic song by Val Kepilino is one that we hear, occasionally. And the one-and-only Weldon Kekauoha does it so beautifully! One of my favorite versions, for sure.
His falsetto is so smooth! And the way he sings/pronounces the Hawaiian–wow! So fantastic! So much emotion! A crooner to study and learn from.
I triple love this recording and listen to it all the time. True story.
4. Falling (Keahiwai's recording on the album Satisfied)
Back in the days when I was only beginning to learn about Hawaiian music, the sounds of Keahiwai dominated the Hawaiian radio–at least the internet radio I was able to stream on my computer at work! I listened to their voices and imagined how wonderful it must be to spend your lives singing/sharing Hawaiian music. I considered them to be some of the luckiest people on the planet.
And now when I hear this song, I'm taken back to those magical days–days where it felt like I was finally "waking up" from the sleep I'd been in and falling in love with Hawaiʻi.
Their music will always be magical for me. Mahalo for that, Mailani and Lei!
5. Livin' On A Easy (Gabby Pahinui & Group's recording on the album The Waimea Music Festival)
Wanna relive a magical moment in Hawaiian musical history?
This song was recorded at the now-legendary Waimea Music Festival that was held on May 19, 1974 (according to the album's liner notes). The whole album rocks as a LIVE album–complete with hoots and hollers from the audience. I like to listen to the album with headphones on. It adds to the experience!
I love how the audience cheers when this song starts. And knowing what I know about Gabby "Pops" Pahinui, I'm sure he was jamming with some great musicians that day. (I'm sure some of the readers will know the names of everyone that made up his group that day! Please share 'em if you do!)
It's fun. And not only because it's live. It's also a real lesson in how to play Hawaiian music. (And how to play it well!)

The Crooner's Weekly "TOP 5″ (12.21.11)
1. Mahina O Hoku (Dennis Pavao's recording on the album Keiki Kupuna)
One of my favorite songs (a crooner classic!) recorded by one of my favorite singers. Kind of a perfect combination, wouldn't you say?
This song, attributed to Lilian Awa, talks about the night before the full moon. Two lovers. A secluded beach. (Dot…dot…dot…)
In this version, Uncle Dennis presents the song with his beautiful leo kiʻekiʻe (falsetto) in a soothing way. And he presents each verse two times–a hula dancer's dream. Note: He doesn't sing the third verse that's sometimes included.
I love the golden crooning of Uncle Dennis Pavao. I'm so glad we have his recordings–we can still thrill to his voice.
•Please click HERE to see a tribute page to Uncle Dennis Pavao.
2. Hiʻilawe (Ernie Tevares' recording on the album Hukilau Hulas)
I was on the treadmill at the gym the other day and this version of the classic song, Hiʻilawe, came on. It was different from others that I was familiar with. Bouncier. I loved it. I loved it so much that I had to look to see who recorded it. (Note to self: Stop the treadmill before attempting to read anything. I practically wiped out!)
Only after I got home and searched the internet did I learn about the amazing musician, Ernie Tevares. I'm blown away by what I read about him. Coming from a classical "conservatory background", I'm always so humbled when I learn about self-taught musicians that are so talented they'd make the best "conservatory trained" musicians bow down to their abilities. I wish I could be like that!
This is a great recording and one I will go back to again and again. And it's bouncy tempo made for some great listening time while I was running!
*Please click HERE to read a little bit about Ernie Tevares and his brother, Freddie.
3. Panini Puakea (Israel Kamakwiwoʻole's recording on the album Facing Future)
Ah! This recording brings back such memories!
Like so many folks, Facing Future was one of my very first Hawaiian albums. I remember listening to it–and THIS SONG in particular!–in my tiny studio apartment in NYC's Lower East Side. Ok… it was really more like a closet. But when this song played, it felt like the whole space opened up. Even a gloomy NYC winter's day became sunny.
Long before I had dreams of even visiting Hawaii, I loved this song. And the healing sounds of Braddah IZ's voice and ʻukulele.
The song, attributed to John K. Almeida, talks about a favorite flower. And I think it would be easy for one to see the similarities between the flower and a beloved. But that's just my take on it…
Magical, indeed.
*Please click HERE to visit IZ's official website.
Listening to Keahiwai takes me back to the first time I went to Hawaiʻi. I'd gone to Oʻahu for a friend's wedding. We were cruising around Waikīkī and I heard their music a lot on the radio. My hula/ʻukulele friends and I had been listening to their debut album, Local Girls, a lot. But the sound made so much sense when I got to Oʻahu and breathed the same air, saw the same sights, tasted the same tastes, heard the same sounds.
(It was on that trip that I also learned a lot of the music that made sense to my ears in NYC seemed loud and grossly out of place in Hawaiʻi!)
Simple. Sweet. Awesome. (Makes me wanna close my eyes and sway.)
*Please click HERE to visit the Keahiwai's official website. (And let 'em know we miss them and want more music!)
5. Keʻala's Mele (Leonard Kwan's recording on the album Hawaiian Slack Key Masters Vol. 1)
This album served as my introduction to kī hōʻalu (slack key guitar) and I still love it. What a great collection of so many amazingly talented musicians!
This track, recorded by the incredibly gifted Mr. Leonard Kwan, is pretty close to heaven. I mean, I imagine this is what heaven must sound like. The guitar is "honeyed' and golden and sparkles. The way light might dance along the water.
Love it. And I love the way it makes me feel… (So thankful for recordings like this!)
*Please click HERE to read Leonard's bio from Dancing Cat Records.
**Christmas Bonus Song: Do You Hear What I Hear (Keola Beamer's recording on the album Kī Hōʻalu Christmas)
This "traditional" Christmas song is magical. And Keola's recording captures the magic and mystery of Christmas for me. It brings to mind all sorts pictures–wise men following a star. A deep blue-indigo night. If something could be called perfect, this is it.
(**Crooner Note: The whole album is fantastic! This is something that plays all season in our home!)

1. Waiakanaio (Ledward Kaʻapana's recording on the album Black Sand)
From what I read, the song was composed by George Huddy for the group Hui ʻOhana. I love how Uncle Led plays this as an instrumental piece–kī hōʻalu-style.
Letʻs face it: the guy is a MASTER musician. And when he plays the 12-string guitar, it shimmers. To me, it's the sound of light dancing on the surface of the ocean. I love it.
I have been feeling so nostalgic this week! I found a mix CD that I made from my "extensive" Hawaiian collection when I first started listening to Hawaiian music–and this song kicked it off! Keahiwai was DEFINITELY a huge group at the time. And I couldn't get enough of their sound.
I remember streaming KCCN FM 100 on the computer at work. I haunted Tower Records here in NYC and combed through their limited Hawaiian selection. I think I bought every CD they had!
Now, for those of you who consider yourselves to be Hawaiian purists and will turn your noses up at Hawaiian "pop" or "Jawaiian" music, please note: A lot of the music we call "traditional" today was once the popular music of the time.
I remember thinking Keahiwai's music connected me to the islands. Folks were listening to them on Hawaiian radio stations. And I was listening in my apartment in NYC. A bridge between our islands…
You'll love their tight harmonies. You'll love their great and catchy hooks. And I'll bet you'll find yourself dancing around a bit when you hear it. I do. Their music still makes me smile.
3. Jingle Bells (In Hawaiian) ( Genoa Keawe & Her Hawaiians' recording on the album Santa's Gone Hawaiian)
While working at an amusement park one summer, I learned about a tradition that I quickly adopted: Christmas in July! It was so fun to try to create a holiday feeling in the middle of summer. We put up a decorated tree–complete with homemade ornaments because the stores didn't have any for sale in July!
So… before the month ends, I wanted to keep the tradition alive and listen to some holiday music. This week, I've been hooked on a gem of a recording of Aunty Genoa Keawe & Her Hawaiians. It's truly a classic–and how cool to be able to play the "sounds of yesteryear" using today's technology!
Classic + Fun = Awesome

So you're getting married abroad? Awesome! Destination weddings are becoming more and more popular and its pretty clear to see why. Lets face it, you can't guarantee great weather during the English summer time so why not have your amazing day abroad! Plus, with flights to certain European destinations being priced so reasonably why wouldn't you!
I'm no stranger to destination weddings having had the absolute honour to photograph weddings a little bit further afield than dear old blighty. I've a current passport (you know one with those awesome little chips in so you can beat the long queues at the airport) and happy to jump on a plane and document your wedding day.
Many companies who organise destination weddings will source a wedding photographer for you, but how do you know that they're the right photographer for you? You'll still want have someone to capture the day with the same attention to detail that you would if you were getting married at home, to be on the look out for those special moments. Not to mention someone to create some stunning portraits of you both with a backdrop that you fell in love with and made you book your wedding abroad in the first place. So pick me… I'm your guy!
Pricing for destination weddings is exactly the same as it is for a wedding in England – the only thing I ask of you is that my travel and accommodation is covered for the time that I'm with you. Its as simple as that.
Take a look at this beautiful Italian Wedding which took place just outside of Rome.
Assos village was the setting for Tanya & Aaran's Kefalonia Wedding. Check out a few images from their day.

PETERSBURG, Va. -- As part of the CBS 6 Month of Giving, Nikki-Dee chose to visit with residents of the Dunlop Home in Petersburg.
"A lot of times we think of Christmas as a time of cheer, but did you know that there are countless people who are saddened by the holidays? Some have recently lost a loved one and this is their first holiday season without them; some are sick and cannot join in the holiday spirit; some are lonely or feel forgotten when all they see is others enjoying time with family and friends," Nikki-Dee said. "That is why I chose to visit my friends at the Dunlop Home in Petersburg. Of course presents are wonderful (and we brought some), but sometimes our time is the best gift of all. I truly enjoyed chatting, laughing, and loving on my new friends. These are some of the most special people I've ever gotten to meet and I wouldn't trade my time with them for anything. This holiday season, I encourage you to be a giver of your time to others who may need it!"

Flights resumed on John F. Kennedy International Airport's "Bay Runway," the region's longest and busiest runway, on June 28 after a four-month closing to reconstruct the runway, implement flight delay measures, increase the width to handle the world's largest commercial planes, and transform it into a state-of-the-art runway for the future.
The project was completed on budget and ahead of schedule, ensuring that airlines could function at full capacity as the busy summer travel season ramps up.
As the Bay Runway – last refurbished in 1993 – and its asphalt overlay approached the end of its lifespan, the Port Authority researched the available options. The agency's planning aimed to increase the utility and efficiency of the runway and decrease the maintenance costs, all while providing tangible benefits for the customer.
The Bay Runway's new concrete surface is expected to last 40 years, replacing the 13-year-old asphalt surface, which has a much shorter useful life. It will produce an estimated long-term savings of $500 million and while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
In addition, high-speed aircraft exits and access taxiways were part of the Port Authority's delay-reduction program so planes can take off and land on the runway faster than ever before and so aircraft queuing could be reduced. These initiatives are estimated to reduce flight delays by 10,500 hours a year.
Months of extensive advanced coordination and cooperation by the Port Authority, FAA, airlines and contractors helped mitigate delays during the four-month closing. Contractors built a special dedicated road for construction vehicles; all materials were preordered and stored at JFK and two on-site concrete plants were constructed to speed the work. Work proceeded around the clock to ensure the Port Authority met its four-month schedule commitment.
The $348.1 million runway project supports 2,500 jobs, including direct construction work, asphalt and concrete production, running aeronautical lighting and food services. A total of $15 million was obtained through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, with the rest funded by the FAA and the Port Authority.
JFK handles 48 million passengers annually as one of the nation's busiest airports, with the Bay Runway typically handling a third of the traffic.
Work began on the 14,572-foot long Bay Runway – the longest at JFK by more than 3,000 feet – in July 2009. On March 1, the bulk of the work commenced with the four-month closing to complete 10,925 feet of the runway. The runway reopened on June 28 with all navigational features. The remaining 3,647 feet of the runway work will be completed in two phases in the coming months.
The Bay Runway – one of only three in the U.S. long enough to land the NASA space shuttle – used enough concrete in this project to fill the New Meadowlands Stadium to a height of 64 feet.
Environmental considerations were integral to the project. Approximately 300,000 tons of asphalt millings was reused on the runway's sub-base, taxiways and service roads. Much of the truck traffic remained on-site because of the proximity of the specially built concrete plants, speeding work and limiting congestion on area roadways. Additionally, a total of seven acres of installed turf grass for the project will help reduce erosion and improve filtration.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey operates many of the busiest and most important transportation links in the region. They include John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia, Stewart International and Teterboro airports; AirTrain JFK and AirTrain Newark; the George Washington Bridge and Bus Station; the Lincoln and Holland tunnels; the three bridges between Staten Island and New Jersey; the PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) rapid-transit system; Port Newark; the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal; the Howland Hook Marine Terminal on Staten Island; the Port Authority Auto Marine Terminal; the Brooklyn Piers/Red Hook Container Terminal; and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan. The agency also owns the 16-acre World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan and is a partner in the Access to the Region's Core tunnel project.


When you choose the term you are applying for, some colleges offer additional Decision Plan options, such as early decision or early action.
Early Decision: The college commits to giving you the admission decision earlier than they inform other applicants. If you select Early Decision, you are committing to attending the college if you are accepted. Often this deadline is earlier than the general deadline for all applicants.
You can only apply for Early Decision at a single college. Because you are committing to attend if accepted, you can't apply to multiple schools for Early Decision.
Early Action: The college will try to get you a decision as soon as possible, but there is no guarantee. If you select Early Action, you are informing the college of your serious intent to attend if admitted, but there is no binding guarantee on your part to attend. Sometimes, this deadline is earlier than the general deadline for all applicants.
You can apply for Early Action at multiple colleges. Colleges may inform you of a decision earlier than they inform other applicants. But this is not binding on your part, and you can wait until the official response deadline (usually May 1) to inform the college if you accept.
For more about applying for Early Decision, see this article.

Too often, the discussion about "what matters at the end" isn't addressed until there is a healthcare crisis. Through partnerships with local healthcare systems, senior organizations, law practices, and faith groups, Making Choices Michigan is helping create a community culture where it is acceptable to talk about health care choices, including end of life, and to respect and honor those choices. This session describes an innovative, community-based, non-profit program that proactively helps adults (18+) talk about their wishes, document their preferences for care in an Advance Directive (AD), and discuss/implement options for improved AD storage and retrieval at the time of need.

The GLHC Referral Application spans the state, connecting healthcare offices and community organizations. This session is a demonstration of the current tool and will highlight the enhancements GLHC plans to make within the coming six months. The demonstration will cover user and admin basics, as well as explain how the tool can positively enhances care coordination, workflow, and patient care.

Great Lakes Health Connect, in collaboration with iSpecimen, is part of a novel program leveraging the HIE past the point-of-care, allowing member hospitals and labs to contribute to medical research as well as their bottom line. Medical researchers today are in great need of human biospecimens but face a dearth in supply of the specimens they need from the patients they want. Because the HIE is a centralized aggregator of patient data, this data can be de-identified and searched to identify member institutions with access to the patients and specimens in demand. Hospitals and labs that choose to participate gain an opportunity to support medical discovery while earning new, recurring revenue. The HIE itself enhances sustainability and maintains relevance past the point-of-care. Ultimately, healthcare improves for all.
Chris conceptualized and founded iSpecimen to address the growing need for human biospecimens by the life science research communities.

How to Balance Marketing Automation and Personalization
By Emily Muhobera
The most successful sales and marketing teams find balance between inbox-clogging automated messages and old-fashioned, personalized communications. Here's how they meet in the middle to personalize the customer experience, says, Emily Muhoberac, COO at Sapper Consulting.
By 2017, 67 percent of marketing leaders were already using some sort of marketing automation platform, according to Salesforce. That's good news for those who believe that cold calls and handwritten notes have gone the way of the dinosaur. Many, however, are still on the other side of that extreme, believing technology is useless compared to a personalized touch.
THE ULTIMATE MARKETING AUTOMATION BUYERS GUIDE FOR 2020 AND BEYOND
Pick Or Upgrade To The Right Marketing Automation Solution To Power Your Growth Story.
Both sides of the battle are right and wrong. Building relationships should always be the main goal, but if you aren't using the litany of sales automation tools available to reach that goal, then you're cutting yourself off at the knees.
The most successful sales and marketing teams find the balance between inbox-clogging automated messages and old-fashioned, personalized communications. They meet in the middle, automating what's necessary for optimal efficiency without sacrificing the human element of personalization.

Automation vs. Personalization
According to Salesforce, the number of sales teams that adopt AI will likely grow by 139 percent by the year 2020. It's undeniable that marketing automation is here to stay. Yet top-performing teams focus that investment on improving the customer experience more than anything else.
In fact, in the same report, 51 percent of sales leaders say they're focused on building deeper relationships to retain customers. Likewise, 79 percent of B2B buyers called interacting with a trusted advisor critical. Relationships are still the backbone of good business. Automated platforms are just the brace that supports them.
The problem is that we want AI to be the solution to everything and it simply isn't. For integrated AI systems to work that well, they need even more data than the massive troves marketers already draw from. They would need security measures to block malicious access, which is extremely complicated for technology that's designed to evolve.
Despite these shortcomings, companies still oversteer with their application of automated marketing techniques. Our inboxes have all been inundated with LinkedIn and other corporate messages — obvious displays of quantity over quality. However, we've also seen automation used simply for task efficiency, which is when the technology's value truly shines.
Merging AI and a Personal Touch
It isn't realistic to leave your entire marketing and sales strategies up to AI software and expect it to churn out the results of a high-performance team. Instead, use these three tips to figure out the best way to personalize your consumer experience, then use automated technology to scale up the results:
1. Focus on persona-based marketing.
Data drives AI platforms, and it should drive your marketing philosophy as well. Use it to segment your audience beyond just titles and industries. Instead of one message for CEOs, for example, create one for CEOs of 10- to 50-person companies and another for those leading organizations with more than 5,000 employees.
Once you've personalized communications for each segment, automate whatever else exists outside of relationship-building. For example, every message should be personal, but there's no reason that logistics tasks have to be. Use an email automation platform to send the targeted messages to the appropriate recipients.
2. Use small personalization hacks.
Mixing automation and personalization frees up time for team members to focus only on the things that require a personal touch. Those tasks can be completed more efficiently by adding small personalization hacks to automated processes. For example, adding variable tags to prospects' names makes them feel like you sent the message specifically to them.
Expand those hacks beyond emails to include requests for calls or social media connections. For example, if someone downloads content from your website, have a team member follow up immediately. In a classic sales study, waiting more than 10 minutes to follow up decreased the odds of securing a lead by as much as 400 percent.
3. Keep your hands on the wheel.
There are several different ways to almost automate personalization, but it's important not to give too much over to AI in the process. Sprinkle personalized touches throughout automated workflows, such as by tasking salespeople to reach out personally after a connection request is sent. This makes a fully automated action feel much more personal to the consumer.
Sales automation is trendy, and it's easy to get caught up in it as a fad. Avoid that by testing new ideas and building on systems that work for you rather than designing all new processes around the use of AI. Just because some tech giants flex their muscles with completely automated tasks doesn't mean that it's right for your business, too.
Also Read: 5 Marketing Automation Best Practices for Better ROI in 2019
The battle between automation and personalization can go on indefinitely, but the teams that use AI successfully know it shouldn't be a battle at all. Automation will continue to guide new tech solutions, but only people can build relationships with other people. Use one to optimize your ability to do the other and see that the argument has always been pointless.

Shular vs. Shular
Published 7:00 pm EST, Tuesday, February 15, 2011
I'm not sure if it was historic or not, but when Ra'Von Shular fouled Tyler Shular in the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's game between the Brien McMahon and Norwalk boys basketball teams, it might have been the first time a brother sent his own brother to the free throw line in the 88-game history of the city rivalry.
Yes, you read that right. This wasn't just Norwalk against McMahon. It was brother against brother with McMahon's Tyler, a senior swingman, going head-to-head against Norwalk's Ra'Von, a junior guard.
The night belonged to the Senators, who posted a 74-43 victory to improve to 14-4 overall and 12-4 in the FCIAC. But both Shular brothers came out winners, especially Tyler, who led all players with 27 points, including two 3-pointers, six rebounds, three steals and a 7-for-9 effort from the foul line.
Ra'Von didn't dissapoint either, scoring seven points with one 3-pointer and four rebounds.
So how is it possible for two brothers to play for different teams in the same city? Tyler lives with his grandmother while Ra'Von lives on the other side of town with his mom.
Ra'Von started out at McMahon, then transferred to Norwalk before the start of this season.
"It felt good to play against him," Tyler said. "It was different, but it was fun."
Just to make things even, Tyler got in a foul on Ra'Von in the fourth quarter. Just brothers being brothers.

Ashburton Cookery School celebrated its 20th Anniversary last year by picking up a plethora of awards including "Best British Cookery School". In many ways the school is unrecognisable from its humble beginnings, but founder Stella West-Harling shows that everything the school stands for today can be traced back to its roots.
Stella West-Harling has had a long career in the food industry and has always been passionate about its social impact. Before starting Ashburton Cookery School, she ran one of the country's first organic restaurants. "When I started out, the organic movement was regarded as cranky and a bit alternative," remembers Stella, "most people were just concerned whether their chest freezers were fully stocked with ready meals." Luckily, there were a few people fighting the gradual deterioration in our relationship with food, people such as Sonia Stevenson at The Horn of Plenty, Raymond Blanc, Joyce Molyneux at the Carved Angel and, of course, Stella.
After eight years at the restaurant Stella moved on to event catering before being invited to get involved in a business venture in South Devon. Whilst that may not have materialised it did bring a gastronomic evangelist to the area - and she liked what she found.
Stella chose to base herself in the small Dartmoor town of Ashburton. "It's amazing when you compare it to the vibrant stannery town we see today" she says. "As a result of the worst recession since the war, the high street was little more than a series of boarded up shops." Despite these first impressions, she could see that there were many like-minded people in the area and she loved the proximity of the town to the fantastic producers of Devon.
As well as working in some of the more progressive local restaurants, Stella started to run personal development and professional writing courses at her home in 79 East Street. Whilst successful, it was the food that seemed to generate most of the feedback and Stella soon came to the conclusion that a small cookery school would provide a great platform for her healthy eating gospel. "I had a clear vision that if I got this right I could make a real difference. I wanted to set-up an amazing cookery school - the best." She started by running classes for small groups and soon found herself full to capacity, even without advertising.
By 2003, demand had outgrown the building and Stella decided to risk her own financial future by buying the house opposite and converting the garage into a dedicated teaching facility. As the school continued to grow, she realised that it could not remain a one-woman operation. As well as teaching, she was also sourcing produce, managing course administration and fixing the plumbing. She approached a head hunter to find a new Chef and employed the first person she interviewed. That was Chef Director Darrin Hosegrove. He swears the interview lasted 6 hours, during which they discussed how a cookery school could contribute to society whilst remaining commercially viable. It obviously worked because Darrin went straight home and told his wife that he had given up his job as Head of Development at Sainsbury's to take on a cookery school, which at the time had no roof, two gas rings, an Aga and a large kitchen table!
In 2008, Stella was invited to get involved with the School Food Trust, providing a private sector alternative to the training of school cooks. She applied for a grant to build a state of the art regional training facility on the outskirts of town. Soon after being awarded the loan, the economy collapsed and the funding was withdrawn. Once again, Stella was faced with a major investment decision in the midst of a global recession. But the self-confessed risk taker couldn't resist. She put up everything she had and, after some creative negotiation, took the scariest decision of her life. The result was some of the best cookery school facilities in the country.
Scale has also enabled the school to increase its support for the local community. Take the Bank Youth Project, a centre providing facilities to the young people of Ashburton. Without the support of ACS there is a very real possibility that the centre would close. Or the Ashburton Food Festival, now in its 3rd year and fast becoming the highlight of the community calendar. Or the course Stella created for the Princes Trust to motivate disadvantaged youths. Or the work she has done with Social Services to teach families how to use food as a focal point for rebuilding broken relationships. Or the Dartmoor school meals and community kitchen hub that Stella is creating as state funding for these services has been cut…as she says "cooking is like love - it should be entered into with abandon or not all".
In March 2011, Stella was recognised as one of the UK's leading female food entrepreneurs alongside Delia Smith, Prue Leith, Nigella Lawson and Ruth Rogers. Last year the school won three major industry awards, including Best British Cookery School, which she admits to being "one of the proudest moment of my life".
So what does the future hold for this one-woman dynamo? Well, the ongoing joke that "Stella is retiring, again" looks like it has some legs yet. She recently opened a café in a Dartmoor National Trust property (Parke, in Bovey Tracey). She is working with the British Cookery School Awards team and industry leaders such as Richard Bertinet and Nick Nairn to create the Independent Cookery School Association. There are plans to extend the ACS dining facilities to provide more learning opportunities for students and allow local people to taste the amazing food they produce. This expansion will also allow the school to double the size of the Chefs Academy, which will address the ever-growing waiting list for the course. And there are plans for a specialist patisserie course, which Stella believes will open the school to whole new group of passionate cooks.

Main fabric: 100% Polyester. Our engineers have developed a Polyester based textile and replaced the elastane fibres with PBT fibres that give it sufficient elasticity to ensure user comfort whilst protecting it against the damaging effects of chlorine. This PBT thread also has the advantage of being quick drying. It only loses 3 to 4% resistance throughout its lifespan. Another plus: Even the brightest of colours will retain their colour fastness.

According to a new study, toddlers spending a lot of time staring at screens are linked with poorer performance on developmental screening tests later in childhood. The study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics on 28th January, found a direct association between screen time at ages 2 and 3 and development at 3 and 5.
The new study included data on 2,441 mothers and children in Canada. The mothers were recruited for the study when they were pregnant between 2008 and 2010, and data was collected between 2011 and 2016. Screen time included watching TV programmes, films or videos, gaming, and using a computer, tablet, phone or any other screen-based device. This study found out that at the age of two, the children were clocking up around 17 hours of screen time per week. This increased to around 25 hours a week by the age of three but dropped to around 11 hours a week at the age of five, when the children started primary school. "To our knowledge, the present study is the first to provide evidence of a directional association between screen time and poor performance on development screening tests among very young children," the researchers wrote.
The American Academy of Paediatrics offers guidelines to help families with the management of children's screen time.
* For children younger than 18 months, avoid use of screen media other than video-chatting.
* Parents of children 18 to 24 months of age who want to introduce digital media should choose high-quality programming, and watch it with their children to help them understand what they are seeing.
* For children ages two to five years, limit screen use to one hour per day of high-quality programmes. Again, parents should be watching it with their children.
* For children ages six and older, place consistent limits, making sure screen time does not get in the way of sleep and physical activity.

Opening of Brussels' First Food Market
17 restaurants offering various cuisines have set up shop in the same space in the heart of Brussels. Welcome to Wolf, the capital's first food market.
© Wolf
In Rue Fossé aux Loups ("wolves" in English), right near Place De Brouckère, the building of the former CGER Bank has been renovated and converted into a large culinary space, all while maintaining many aspects of its original purpose. Under the supervision of Brussels architect Lionel Jadot, the former transaction windows have been turned into counters for restaurant owners and many vintage decorative elements have been reused in the large, open 500-m² space, at the centre of which is a very large bar offering two beers brewed on the spot and more. Tables made of salvaged wood and various stands are all organised around this central space.
Each different from the next, the restaurants offer a selection of very eclectic and cosmopolitan dishes, inspired by a trendy concept that has caught on in many of the world's large cities, following the example of New York's emblematic Chelsea Market. In addition to an organic market and a micro-brewery, the 17 restaurants allow visitors to travel through Asia, India, Ethiopia, Syria, Greece, Italy, Hawaii and Japan, alongside renowned Belgian staples like the Dierendonck Butcher's Shop, Yves Mattagne's Gauffres & Waffles and, of course, Belgian chocolatiers...
Wolf is open 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. and all payments are made electronically.

Dating? It Is Simple In The Event You Do It Smart
Jessika's transfer from the Gold Coast to Manchester final week came after she revealed she was dating Mancunian podcaster Connor Thompson. The Duchess went on to element her humble beginnings: 'I grew up on the 4.99-dollar salad bar at Sizzler,' she stated. Yet simply two weeks later Lady Eliza, 24, the youngest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, was convicted of a dashing offence – she was driving her Audi at 47mph in a 40mph zone – for which she obtained a diminished wonderful attributable to 'monetary hardship'. Angie was charged with mid-vary drink driving and 'her driving privileges in NSW had been suspended'. Last week, Angie expressed her 'deep regrets' after being arrested and charged with drink driving in early October, having consumed two drinks on an empty stomach.
It emerged final week that Angie was pulled over for a random breath take a look at whereas driving to a picnic in Sydney earlier this month. I had two drinks on an empty stomach whereas getting ready. Kris was beforehand engaged to mother-of-five Katie Value, with their pair getting engaged in July 2019, before separating four months later. Instead of ready for Selection Sunday, Saint Mary's left little doubt, getting again to the NCAA Tournament after a one-year absence with its first WCC title in 9 years. Loveflutter, however, proposes first date places that are equidistant from both folks's residences. She was fast to unfollow the star on social media after they break up.

Q: Struggling trying to get cookie out of response with HttpClient in .net 4.5 I've got the following code that works successfully.  I can't figure out how to get the cookie out of the response.  My goal is that I want to be able to set cookies in the request and get cookies out of the response.  Thoughts?
private async Task<string> Login(string username, string password)
{
    try
    {
        string url = "http://app.agelessemail.com/account/login/";
        Uri address = new Uri(url);
        var postData = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
        {
            new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", username),
            new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password ", password)
        };

        HttpContent content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(postData);
        var cookieJar = new CookieContainer();
        var handler = new HttpClientHandler
        {
            CookieContainer = cookieJar,
            UseCookies = true,
            UseDefaultCredentials = false
        };

        var client = new HttpClient(handler)
        {
            BaseAddress = address
        };

        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(url,content);
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
        string body = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        return body;
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        return e.ToString();
    }
}

Here is the complete answer:
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(url,content);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

Uri uri = new Uri(UrlBase);
var responseCookies = cookieJar.GetCookies(uri);
foreach (Cookie cookie in responseCookies)
{
    string cookieName = cookie.Name;
    string cookieValue = cookie.Value;
}

A: You can easily get a cookie value with the given URL.
private async Task<string> GetCookieValue(string url, string cookieName)
{
    var cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
    var uri = new Uri(url);
    using (var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler
    {
        CookieContainer = cookieContainer
    })
    {
        using (var httpClient = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler))
        {
            await httpClient.GetAsync(uri);
            var cookie = cookieContainer.GetCookies(uri).Cast<Cookie>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == cookieName);
            return cookie?.Value;
        }
    }
}

A: To add cookies to a request, populate the cookie container before the request with CookieContainer.Add(uri, cookie). After the request is made the cookie container will automatically be populated with all the cookies from the response. You can then call GetCookies() to retreive them.
CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler();
handler.CookieContainer = cookies;

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);
HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("http://google.com").Result;

Uri uri = new Uri("http://google.com");
IEnumerable<Cookie> responseCookies = cookies.GetCookies(uri).Cast<Cookie>();
foreach (Cookie cookie in responseCookies)
    Console.WriteLine(cookie.Name + ": " + cookie.Value);

Console.ReadLine();

A: There's alternative if you don't have access to the HttpClient and can't inject the CookieContainer. This works in .NET Core 2.2:
private string GetCookie(HttpResponseMessage message)
{
    message.Headers.TryGetValues("Set-Cookie", out var setCookie);
    var setCookieString = setCookie.Single();
    var cookieTokens = setCookieString.Split(';');
    var firstCookie = cookieTokens.FirstOrDefault();
    var keyValueTokens = firstCookie.Split('=');
    var valueString = keyValueTokens[1];
    var cookieValue = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(valueString);
    return cookieValue;
}

A: Not in every case you can add httpClientHandler to httpClient. For example, when you use integration tests testServer.CreateClient() or inject httpClient from IHttpClientFactory. So, I have simply read values from header.
    public static List<Cookie> GetCookies(this HttpResponseMessage message)
    {
        message.Headers.TryGetValues("Set-Cookie", out var cookiesHeader);
        var cookies = cookiesHeader.Select(cookieString => CreateCookie(cookieString)).ToList();
        return cookies;
    }

    private static Cookie CreateCookie(string cookieString)
    {

Obama's picks: Big names, big egos, big gambles
Can Barack Obama bring change to Washington by turning to a varied collection of power players, political insiders and established names for his cabinet and senior staff?
Is change even part of the picture now that the election is over?
As Obama continues to assemble his team, the "new" government of President-elect Obama has all the trappings of former administrations — particularly Bill Clinton's — and could set the new President up for charges of selling out on his promises to bring change to the Presidency and government.
Franken may turn to the courts
If he is unable to win at the ballot box, comedian-turned-politician Al Franken may turn to the courts to gain a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Recent rulings by Minnesota's canvassing board have put Franken in the hole in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman.
News reports say Franken is "eyeing his options" after disputed absentee ballots were thrown out and those options might include taking the matter to court.
In other words, another election decided not by the courts but by men and women who got their jobs through election or political appointment.

This is the first in a (probably) three part series.
Another advertised feature of the base is control via Android and iPhone apps. Unfortunately, the Android app hasn't been updated since 2014. I could not get it to work with my Google Pixel, and based on the reviews, I'm not the only one. Clearly, this is DIY territory.
The benefits of reversing the actual RF protocol are (a) no dependence on integrated WiFi and (b) non-destructivity.
Since the remote is a wireless device, it is regulated by the FCC. We can lookup the FCC ID (UNQTPTAES) to learn some useful information about the device. Confidentially requests by the manufacturer prevent us from accessing the BOM, schematic, and block diagram :/. In this case the most helpful document is the Test Report.
Some interesting excerpts from the test report follow.
One page 7, we learn there is some kind of mapping between the channel number and the frequency. The remote supports lots of channels, which could be useful for people with more than one adjustable base.
Page 13-14 detail that the remote transmits in pulses, e.g. on each key press. This implies that there is no persistent connection between the base and the remote, and that communication is probably unidirectional (remote => base). Makes sense because the base shouldn't need to talk back to the remote.
In addition to being practical(-ish), I intended to use this project as an opportunity to play with SDRs for the first time. That being said, I will not try to attempt to teach any of the concepts here.
The test report signal plot is overlaid on the right. We can see that the two signals are very close, so we're on the right track.
It turns out that the type of modulation in use here is Gaussian frequency shift keying. A big thanks to my friend Tim for identifying it as FSK.
I got relatively far using GNU Radio to demodulate the signal (something I won't go into here, mainly due to my lack of ability to speak on the subject). Eventually I got bored of it, and sought a faster way to reverse engineer the signal.
It is tempting to try and dump the uC's ROM and reverse the firmware, but the FCC test report from earlier reveals that ROM protection is active. Maybe next time we'll try anyway, since PIN bypasses like this exist: https://github.com/q3k/m16c-interface.
But for now, the plan is to simply listen in on the SPI bus connecting the uC and RF transceiver. This bus is used for configuring the RF chip and for transmitting the data. The Si443x's datasheet reveals an incredible number of configurable settings: https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/data-sheets/Si4430-31-32.pdf.
This traffic reveals the following details of the modulation scheme. Note that in this case, my remote was set to channel 9345, which is how it came delivered.
Nominal carrier frequency is another term for the center frequency. Therefore, channel 9345 occupies ~[434.585 MHz – 25 kHz, 434.585 MHz + 25 kHz].
So how does the remote get 434.5856250 MHz from "channel 9345"? This is a question I wrestled with for about 2 days. There is no easy linear relationship. I collected a few dozen initialization sequences, each time with a different (random) channel number and looked for a relationship.
That portion highlighted in red corresponds to the fc (frequency center) register in the Si443x. So, when the user changes the RF channel, all the uC has to do to tune the transceiver is change the fc register.
The Si443x has a neat feature that lets you do channel-tuning from a single channel select register. You first set the nominal carrier frequency, then the channel step size (increments of >= 10 kHz). It's generally used for timing critical applications like frequency hopping. So why didn't the Tempurpedic remote use it? Since the system supports 9999 channels, the 10 kHz channel step is way too big. The remote's channel scheme uses ~156.2 Hz channel step.
Recall that we're dealing with burst communications. This means that the receiver will always need to be ready and listening for data. How can a device like this remote control do so in a power-efficient manner? Answer: Combination of preamble (to "wake up" the receiver) and a sync word.
The preamble is designed to be both "easy" to detect and something that is unlikely to be received randomly. A common choice is an alternating series of 1 and 0. The Tempur-Pedic remote uses this sequence, 40 digits long.
The preamble detector may wake up the transceiver in the middle of the preamble. How can it know where the data actually begins? This is what the sync word is for. After detecting the preamble, the receiver searches for sync word for a (configurable) period of time.
The Si443x can operate in fixed or variable length mode. In our case, the remote uses variable length mode, even though all of the data I've seen come from it is the same length. So, we'll need to handle the packet length header.
The CRC is a sanity check to detect transceiver errors. It's handled transparently by the Si443x.
It's finally time to investigate what data is actually sent by the remote. Here's an excerpt of the table I used to decode the protocol. I tuned my remote to various channels and pressed each button.
The next three bytes are independent of channel, dependent on command.
But what about the last part? There is no obvious correlation between neither the command nor channel.
The "name=(none)" part means that this set of parameters doesn't correspond to any well-known CRC.
Recall that the Si443x already has its own CRC. Why does the remote use another one? My best guess is that the engineers chose to add this application-level CRC to guard against data corruption between uC and transceiver. For example, suppose some noise on the SPI bus caused the transceiver to "see" different data that what the uC intended to transmit. The transceiver has no way of knowing this, and so it will dutifully transmit it. The receiver in the base may or may not recognize the corrupted command. An application-level CRC ensures transmission errors on the SPI bus can be detected.
Most of the buttons on the remote don't seem to be debounced. For example, when pressing a command like STOP or FLAT, the remote will actually transmit it between one to three times (in my experience). This is a good thing, since it increases the probability that the receiver actually receives the command. Those types of commands are idempotent, so even if the base does receive multiple of the same, it doesn't matter.
Buttons that are meant to raise/lower the legs and head are intended to be held down, which causes the respective command to be repeatably transmitted until the button is released.
The massage buttons are an interesting case. These six buttons increase/decrease the massage intensity of the legs, lumbar, and head region. Initially I had expected that they would be implemented using one command per button, just as the leg/head raise/lower buttons. But in fact, it is more complicated.
There are eleven massage levels, between 0 and 10, with 0 being off. The remote control keeps track of the current massage level for each region. When the user hits the "+" or "-" button, the remote transmits a massage command that encodes the region and the new level. In other words, it transmits the absolute massage level. This means it actually 33 discrete commands to implement the remote's massage buttons (11 levels * 3 regions). Contrast this to the leg/head raise/lower buttons, which merely transmit relative positioning commands (either "+1" or "-1").
So why does the massage feature have this complication? Here's my theory. From the previous section "Command bursting", we understand that the remote transmits commands multiple times to improve the probability that they are received correctly. This is fine for idempotent commands like STOP, FLAT, etc. It's also fine for buttons that raise/lower the heads/legs since their positioning is so granular that the user probably won't notice the difference between a button press that raises their legs 1 step or 3 steps. But since the massage only has 11 levels, the user would definitely notice if one press of "Lumbar message increase" added +1 to the level whereas the next added +3.
A mildly interesting feature of the system is the ability to automatically choose a channel. To do this, you press and hold the FLAT and STOP buttons for ten seconds, then press the STOP button. The remote's LCD will blink while displaying the new RF channel. While it is blinking, you unplug and then replug the base. If done properly, a relay in the base will click to confirm the new channel has been learned.
While the remote is blinking the new channel, what it's actually doing internally is transmitting the channel number on a special broadcast channel 5568 (fc = 25088, frequency = 433.9200000 MHz). Presumably, the base listens on this channel immediately after being plugged in.
Side note: A limitation of the system is that the RF channel is chosen purely randomly, and although there are 9999 possible channels, collisions are possible.
With the protocol understood, I sought to build a receiver that could decode commands from my physical Tempur-Pedic remote. I chose the following Si443x transceiver breakout for prototyping: https://www.tindie.com/products/modtronicsaustralia/rfm22b-wireless-breakout-board-800m-range/ ($22.95). Eventually I am actually going to switch to the Si446x (example breakout), since the Si443x is end-of-life.
The microcontroller I am using is the ESP32 ($21.95): https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13907. It is the perfect choice because it supports Bluetooth Low Energy and WiFi, one/both of which I'm planning to use for the next part of this project wherein I build my own Android app for controlling my base.
I will be posting more details on it soon (hopefully).
The receiver code is nearly feature complete, so next I will be working on the transmitter portion. After that, I will be working on the Bluetooth Low Energy interface and an Android app.
Fantastic job here. I love to see detailed reverse engineering like this. Despite being a ham, I've only messed with the RTLSDR, but seeing a waveform is completely different from decoding that waveform, especially in light of all the different modulation schemes. Newer devices are even harder, smaller, have newer chipsets, more integrated designs, and so on. I was glad to see you go the logic analyzer route, because it seems to make it a lot easier. I enjoy doing that, but there can be challenges there too, so I appreciate the hard work and the sharing with us!!
I've been working on-again/off-again on reversing a sega genesis Z80 communication to the Yamaha sound chips.
Thanks again for sharing and great job, very interesting!


Cook Islands. 10 Dollars. 2019. Silver .999. 2 oz. 38.61 mm. Black Proof. Mintage: 999 pcs. B. H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt, Munich.
The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley (initials IRB); surrounded by the monarch's name, the issuing country, and the denomination.
The reverse is dominated by an anchor, with an anchor rope wound around it; it is placed on a compass; in the left field the inscription FAIR WINDS & FOLLOWING SEAS.
The anchor is the center of attention of CIT Coin Invest AG's coin "Fair Winds". Advanced smartminting technology allows its high relief to protrude against the otherwise relatively flat surface. This contrast is emphasized even more by its finish: the coin's fields were struck in black proof, the anchor and the rope that winds around it were struck in proof quality. This results in an even more striking visual contrast between the high-luster anchor and the blackish gray background.
The anchor is considered the oldest symbol of seafaring. On the endless miles of open waters, it represents the only possibility to pause. As a result, the anchor has become the epitome of steady support in stormy weather. It comes as no surprise that the personification of hope was characterized by an anchor in early modern times.
The anchor's good-luck message is emphasized by the English seafarer's wish "Fair Winds & Following Seas". While every landlubber will understand that "Fair Winds" pleads for a favorable breeze, only insiders will make sense of the message "Following Seas": it refers to waves that move in the direction the ship is heading. Such waves are fairly easy to navigate and offer an additional boost.
This makes "Fair Winds" not only an exquisite product of state-of-the-art minting technology but also a wonderful lucky charm for all those who set out to conquer the Seven Seas.


I was fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by family that put physical fitness and their health as a priority. Being exposed to an active lifestyle led to my passion for high school sports and in my adult life, experimenting with various athletic events. I have run half marathons, completed triathlons and twice completed a 21-mile stand up paddle boarding event. I have coached volleyball off and on for the past 15-years for AHS and also taught aqua fitness classes for Kennedy Club Fitness.
I started working out at Clarky's in December 2016 and 6-months later was offered an internship with Kim and Chad. After having taught elementary school for 7-years I realized I was about to truly start working in my dream career. I am thrilled to be working with individuals looking to improve upon their current health and overall wellness. My goal is to help the people I work with feel happy with their bodies, gain control of their nutrition, attain their goals for fitness, and have fun with the process.

NC Special Cup: Diawusie Taylor not disappointed after failing to score against Kotoko in tier I finals
Zikiru Adams
Karela United FC striker Charles Diawisie Taylor says he's not disappointed despite failing to score against Kotoko in the NC Tier I Special Competition final on Sunday.
The 19-year-old fired blank as the Porcupine Warriors dug deep to crawl from behind to pull parity and win the grand final 4-1 on penalties.
Taylor, born in Dormaa Ahenkro, had firmly fixed his sights on scoring against Kotoko but he was held at bay by the Kotoko defence.
"I'm not disappointed over my inability to score in the game. Even with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, it's not every game that they score," he told reporters in the post-match interview.
The Premier A runner ups had to fight from behind to draw 1-1 with the Passioners in a highly entertaining game at the 45,000 capacity stadium in Asokwa – Kumasi.
Emmanuel Osei Baffour curled home the opener for Johnson Smith's boys on the 48th-minute mark but Songné Yacouba climbed off the bench to win a penalty for Kotoko after he was shoved down in a tussle for a midair ball by Nurudeen Abdulai inside the Karela box.
Abdul Safiu Fatawu stepped up and expertly dispatched the all home for the leveller on with 21 minutes left to play. The 24-year-old's goal means he has gone on level with Charles Diawisie Taylor who fired blank in the game.
The penalty generated talking points but Diawisie says the referee had a good day.
"The referee had a good day and he officiated the game very well. It was the assistant referee who alerted him of the penalty. I'm sure he wouldn't have awarded him personally," he added.
Kotoko have been heavily linked with a move for the gangling striker.


The Anderson High School netball team is through to semi-finals of Scottish Schools Cup after winning two games last week. First the girls defeated Paisley Grammar School in the third round and then saw off Arbroath High School in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals will be held later this month.
The first quarter started off fast with the AHS taking a quick lead through strong centre court play from Sophie-May Leyland and Allie Elphinstone, working well together to feed the ball in to shooters Debbie Smith and Claire Morris who were both on top form, rarely missing a shot.
At the defending end, Ann-Marie Kennerley, Emma Leask and Megan Keppie worked well together to hinder the Paisley attack which led to the AHS coming out of the first quarter with an 18-1 lead.
In the second quarter strong play from Paisley saw the shooters getting more chances in the circle. Sophie-May and Megan kept up a strong defence winning rebounds to pass out to wing defence Lauren Odie to get the ball up to Claire and Allie who continued to work hard to get the ball up court.
Superb movement from Debbie and Liza Fullerton saw the AHS keep their lead and the first half ended 33-6 to the Anderson girls.
The third quarter saw the AHS girls continue with their strong lead. The Paisley defence continued to work hard to try and prevent shooters Claire and Liza from getting the ball but with help from Lauren and Ann-Marie they managed to get the ball and shoot accurately from any position within the circle.
The Paisley goalkeeper worked hard and moved any rebounds she won up court to the attackers who worked hard but were hindered by the defence of Allie, Emma and Debbie who only allowed them to get one goal.
The Paisley girls continued fighting in the last quarter with strong play from their mid court players. Sophie-May and Megan continued to keep the ball away from the opposing shooters with help from Ann-Marie and Claire who played the ball up court to Allie and the shooters Debbie and Liza who were still shooting superbly to make the final score 63-7 in the AHS's favour.
Both teams knew that if they lost this would be their last game of the competition. That meant the game started off with end-to-end play as both teams fought tirelessly for any loose balls.
Sophie-May Leyland and Allie Elphinstone worked tirelessly together to get the ball in to shooters Debbie Smith and Claire Morris.
The Arbroath defence didn't make it easy for them though as they made some good interceptions and played any rebounds out of the circle and up the court.
Ann-Marie Kennerley, Emma Leask and Megan Keppie worked hard to prevent the Arbroath shooters from getting the ball as they were shooting accurately from the edges of the circle.
Taking advantage of some loose passes and interceptions, the Anderson girls took a nine-point lead at the end of the first quarter.
All was still to play for as the second quarter continued with more end to end play with Arbroath fighting to close the gap. Ann-Marie, Emma and Megan continued to work tirelessly in defence as the Arbroath attack linked well to get the ball into their shooters.
More strong centre court play from Sophie-May and Allie saw them working strongly together to get the ball in to Debbie and Claire who were continuously marked tightly by the opposing defence. By the end of the first half the AHS were winning by a narrow margin of five points.
The second half saw the gap become even closer as an injury caused Emma to have to switch with Megan and move back to goalkeeper. The Arbroath girls continued to link well together to get the ball to their shooters who rarely missed a shot.
There was two goals in it at one point before the AHS girls settled fully and strong attacking play from Sophie-May and Allie, with support from Ann-Marie, saw the ball being played smoothly up court.
The Arbroath defence still continued to make it very difficult for the ball to be played into the Anderson shooters but by some excellent movement from Debbie and Claire they managed to widen the gap and the game ended with a 41-32 victory.
