Sarah Close is the lady responsible for some of the most infectious pop melodies 2017 has been fortunate enough to witness. Strolling hand-in-hand with the Internet and her music, Close hit the big time with the help of YouTube and that sweet, sweet voice.
Not many can bloat about their debut single garnering a staggering 3 million streams in just under half a year, albeit Sarah gets full bragging rights with this one.
Signing a record deal, putting out the Caught Up EP and preparing for her first ever headline tour across the UK, Sarah's calendar for the future is looking fully booked, and luckily as she catches an Uber on her way to tour rehearsals she manages to slot us in to discuss it all.
Growing up in the Isle of Wight – big transition making the move to London?
I wanted to move to London since I was about sixteen, I was always like "Okay, I need to move to London if I want to be in the music industry." I remember trying very hard to convince my parents to let me drop out of doing my A Levels so I could make the move; they were totally against it being all "You should finish your education, you know, you should do this," so they kind of forced me [laughs].
I moved to London at eighteen and it was like a scary move! I spent the summer before I moved fretting about it, worrying if I was going to miss home, what was I doing etc. I didn't know the city or know what it was like, I'm a proper country pumpkin that grew up surrounded by farms but I loved it. My first year there was amazing and my parents encouraged me to enroll into University so I'd make friends and have a social life other than just moving and not knowing anyone and I'm so thankful for that because they were completely right.
What's the music scene looking like in your home town?
I grew up with my parents playing in bands and it was just a hobby for them, but as a kid I'd often have babysitters because my parents on a Friday/Saturday night would be playing gigs; we also have a music room at home where they'd be rehearsing all the time.
It's the kind of music scene which involves a lot of pubs, as a kid I'd play in loads of those, we're also surrounded by water so there's a few yacht havens where I'd do monthly two hour gigs there.
Of course, we have the Isle of Wight festival as well and up until recently Bestival, so there's those kinds of things to get involved with. There's lots of little places where you can be booked and practice as a performer.
Your 'Songs I Wish I Wrote' playlist ranges from the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, all the way to Joni Mitchell – did you grow up listening to these artists featuring in the playlist?
I definitely did, I mean… that Toxic song by Britney Spears is honestly one of the best songs ever; it was written by Cathy Dennis and, WHAT A SONG. My parents gave me a very rich musical upbringing, I was listening to everyone from Carol King, Shania Twain, Cheryl Crowe to The Strokes, Blink-182, a huge range from rock to pop. The first CD I got was an S Club 7 CD.
If I could listen to one playlist for the rest of my life and I just had to listen to those songs these would be the ones that inspire me with its sounds and lyrics. They're all my favourite songs for different reasons but that's like my collection of most impressive songs I've ever heard.
Right? And the thing was that I wasn't even a huge fan of them as a kid, I was a bigger fan of S Club 7 but as I've grown up I've come to appreciate them even more.
Your debut single Call Me Out has ranked up over 3M streams already – do these stats urge you to outdo yourself in future releases?
I really try to not think about stats, I'm so happy that Call Me Out has done so well, much better than I first initially thought it was going to! When I'm in the studio if I think the song isn't honest and authentic to who I am then ultimately I don't believe in the track anyway.
It's so hard to think about statistics and I think it's important not to get lost in it because whenever I'm writing music I always think "What would sixteen-year-old Sarah say?" I used to cry myself to sleep being like "I want to get off this island and be a singer so badly, and I don't think I'm ever going to be able to do it." So, I think 'would that Sarah be proud of me now? Would she want me to be doing this?' and that's what I try to keep in mind.
The EP was such a small stepping stone and hopefully now I can start to be a little frog and jump all over the place.
Own record label 'The Kodiak Club' – any plans to expand and sign your own artists in the future?
It's something I really want to do, it's not something I'm interested in now as I'm focusing on myself and my own music. My hope with the label is to help other artists maybe create their first EP or put their first single out and work with them to do that and work on their social media etc. before they go off to join a bigger label. I don't want to be a record label who finds people long term and for the rest of their lives but when I started out I needed someone to invest in me and give me a little bit of money, so that's something I really see happening for The Kodiak Club. It's something I have big plans for and when I do it I'm going to do it right.
New single Only You – talk us through the backstory of this one?
I wrote Only You back in February before the EP came out and I was feeling a little unmotivated with music, I felt like last year for me wasn't a good year for writing, I didn't feel very confident in what I was doing so when I wrote it I didn't even think about it, and looking back it was probably the song that sparked my inspiration and confidence in my own abilities again.
First ever tour across the UK starts next week – how are you preparing?
We're in rehearsals this week, and I'm so motivated by challenge and feeling the need to prove that I can do something so I'm excited to learn more about being on stage and performing and talking to a crowd; I'm sure I'm going to be nervous but I also kind of enjoy nerves.
Any essentials to take on the road?
Well, it's my first ever tour so I'm sure I'm going to find out some essentials. I'm definitely taking a pillow, I know I'll be in hotels and stuff but oh my god, there's nothing better than having your own pillow is there? I've never watched Game of Thrones before so I'm going get into that [laughs], I've downloaded that and got it ready to go. Other than that, probably just my headphones, laptop and mini keyboard to see if I can create anything whilst on the road.
Signing a record deal and releasing a debut EP in the space of half a year – what's next for Sarah Close?
You never know what is round the corner, but the plan after tour is to spend the next six months in a studio with new songs and music videos coming out. I want to spend the next year touring America, Europe and even bigger shows in the UK.
With singing the record deal there's now a new focus towards my album and what's going to be on that, I felt like before I was writing to find myself and to practice, whereas now with the label and their involvement there's a real feeling of being in a team and working towards something so we're all building towards an album. My focus is working on what that's going to be, what voice it's going to have, the sound of it and all those exciting things. I'm so excited for the future and what it will bring. It's all going to start happening now.

Q: Uploaded files not publicly readable with ACL set I am currently working on an app running on GAE which will accept an image upload and then write it to could storage with the GCS Client library (previously used the Cloud Storage API with the same results).  The issue I am seeing is that after it is written, the files are accessible only if you are already logged in with a Google account.  I have billing enabled and my GAE id (XXXXXX@appspot.gserviceaccount.com) is added as a team member into the Google API project as an owner
I have used the command: gsutil setdefacl public-read gs://mybucket  (Bucket name is correct in live code).
I have the following entry in my ACL:
<Entry>
  <Scope type="AllUsers"/>
    <Permission>
      READ
  </Permission>
</Entry>

And I am initializing the write with this code:
GcsService gcsService = GcsServiceFactory.createGcsService();
GcsFilename filename = new GcsFilename(bucket, fileName);
GcsFileOptions options = new GcsFileOptions.Builder()
  .mimeType(mime)
  .acl("public-read").build();
GcsOutputChannel writeChannel = gcsService.createOrReplace(filename, options);

The app returns the url of the file to the client, which as I mentioned works fine for any Google user, but any other user is redirected when they attempt to access the https://storage.cloud.google.com/mybucket/filename.png url.  Also,  when I am logged into the cloud storage web interface, when I mousover the box in the "SHARED PUBLICLY" column (which has a dash in it)  I receive a hover message "You do not have permission to view or edit this object's ACL's".  I can however delete the file with no problem, and the account I'm logged in with is set as an owner of the API project.
I'm sure I'm missing something easy here, but I've been over all the docs and have been working on this for a couple days.  Any insight is appreciated.

A: Public Read Issue
The storage.cloud.google.com domain is used by the Cloud Storage UI, which is only accessible as a logged-in user. It is not the API endpoint. You should use https://storage.googleapis.com/bucketname/objectname or https://bucketname.storage.googleapis.com/objectname.
Permission Denied for Editing ACL
Only a user with FULL_CONTROL on an object or the owner of an object can view the object's ACL. It sounds like the object is owned by your service account, and your account doesn't have FULL_CONTROL on the object, so it can't view the ACL. You can still delete the object because a user with FULL_CONTROL on a bucket always has the ability to delete objects in the bucket.

A: Related note: I think you can reduce CPU cost by using blobstore API directly to upload image to GCS.

Today marks the beginning of the first Virtual Book Tour. The idea is for a group of people to progressively share their thoughts on a single, recently-published book. In this case, the book is called Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. First up is Mike. Check out his thoughts on this fascinating book.
I just got my copy today, and I'll be participating a week from now, on Monday July 14. I hope you'll come back to see what I thought of Stiff.

Artificial Intelligence and Biotech Are Merging to Bring You Monster Profits
This expert insight from Michael A. Robinson originally ran in Strategic Tech Investor on July 19, 2017
Michael A. Robinson
In biotech, one thing isn't going to change.
The "bread and butter" technology that makes up 90% of the pharmaceutical market – good, old-fashioned small molecules created in the laboratory – isn't going anywhere.
Yes, incredibly innovative treatments like T-cell therapy and microbiome therapies (and firms like Bill Gates' new favorite $6 million company) are all having a huge impact on healthcare.
But we use small, synthetic molecules to create everything from aspirin and corticosteroids to sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) and ivacaftor (Kalydeco) – and we'll keep doing so for a long time to come.
The small molecule technique dates back to the 1890s, but that doesn't mean innovation cannot happen within that field. Scientists are always hard at work in the labs, creating cutting-edge drugs, often tailored to treat a very specific disease or subset of patients.
Meanwhile, I've turned up a tiny British company that's using its artificial intelligence (AI) platform discover promising small molecule treatments faster – and cheaper – than ever before.
I call it "biointelligence."
It's a perfect illustration of the "Convergence Economy" we talk so much about here. By combining two or more fields of tech – in this case biotech and AI – it's like a formula in which 1 + 1 = 3… and often a lot more that.
Today, we're going to learn all about this tiny company and its brand-new biointelligence technology.
This company is privately held – so if you ask, Wall Street will say you can't invest in it.
But I've found a way you can.
In fact, I've found two ways.
Both of them will lead you to outsized returns – and hefty dividends.
Let's take a look…
This Is Finding Effective Treatments Faster
Don't worry if you've never head of the Dundee, Scotland-based firm Exscientia Ltd. Few folks have.
But this small company is upending drug development as we know it by adding a Silicon Valley-style innovation – artificial intelligence – into the mix. AI harnesses the power of computing, machine learning, and advanced algorithms to greatly augment what human minds can do – and find profitable patterns they can't.
The $1.6 trillion biopharmaceutical sector is ripe for this kind of tech.
Let me explain why…
It now takes roughly five years from the time scientists begin looking at an area of disease before they land on a promising compound. Then after that, a drug firm will spend an average of $2.9 billion over the course of 10 years to get the resulting treatment through U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval and out to patients.
According to a recent report from the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, here's how the costs break down: $1.4 billion in direct spending, $1.2 billion in lost use of funds over the decade, and more than $300 million in post-approval costs. That's a 145% increase in costs since 2003, Tufts found.
It sounds onerous and expensive, but i''s been the proven safe path from "big idea" to pharmacy shelf for a long time.
Not for much longer.
Exscientia is changing all that. Here's how it works…
The firm's biointelligence engine combs through thousands of drug studies to fashion best practices.
The biointelligence system then employs Big Data analytics to comb through millions of novel, project-specific compounds (nearly all small molecules).
After that, it produces a list of a data-rich compounds ripe for testing in the lab.
With this biointelligence process, Exscientia says it can come up with a list of promising compounds in one-fourth the time of standard approaches.
That's huge – both for patients looking for more effective treatments and for investors looking for bigger gains.
The Inventor of Viagra Is on This Team
This small startup has winner written all over it… in no small measure because it meets Rule No. 1 of my Strategic Tech Investor "Tech Wealth Blueprint" – "Great Companies Have Great Operations."
Just take a look at Exscientia CEO Andrew Hopkins.
He spent 10 years at Big Pharma leader Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), where he was responsible for establishing new research methods for finding potential drugs.
Hopkins also has raised a total of $50 million for academic and commercial research activities as Chair of Medicinal Informatics at the University of Dundee. And he's the author of some of the most highly cited papers in modern drug discovery.
His chief chemist is no slouch either. Andy Bell is a coinventor of sildenafil – that's Viagra to you and me – and a contributor to the development of antifungal treatment voriconazole (Vfend). These products have racked up sales of nearly $40 billion around the world.
With more than 30 years of experience in the field, Bell is the winner of the American Chemical Society's Technical Achievement in Organic Chemistry Award.
Like I said before, this is a privately held firm, so Wall Street will tell you that there's no way you can directly profit from this tiny firm's work.
Unless you know where to look.
Two of my favorite drug companies have invested in and are working with Exscientia.
Both of these pioneers have the potential to profit from biointelligence.
And now so do you…

Michael A. Robinson is a 36-year Silicon Valley veteran and one of the top tech and biotech financial analysts working today. That's because, as a consultant, senior adviser, and board member for Silicon Valley venture capital firms, Michael enjoys privileged access to pioneering CEOs, scientists, and high-profile players. And he brings this entire world of Silicon Valley "insiders" right to you...
He was one of five people involved in early meetings for the $160 billion "cloud" computing phenomenon.
He was there as Lee Iacocca and Roger Smith, the CEOs of Chrysler and GM, led the robotics revolution that saved the U.S. automotive industry.
As cyber-security was becoming a focus of national security, Michael was with Dave DeWalt, the CEO of McAfee, right before Intel acquired his company for $7.8 billion.
This all means the entire world is constantly seeking Michael's insight.
In addition to being a regular guest and panelist on CNBC and Fox Business, he is also a Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer and reporter. His first book Overdrawn: The Bailout of American Savings warned people about the coming financial collapse - years before the word "bailout" became a household word.
Silicon Valley defense publications vie for his analysis. He's worked for Defense Media Network and Signal Magazine, as well as The New York Times, American Enterprise, and The Wall Street Journal.
And even with decades of experience, Michael believes there has never been a moment in time quite like this.
Right now, medical breakthroughs that once took years to develop are moving at a record speed. And that means we are going to see highly lucrative biotech investment opportunities come in fast and furious.
To help you navigate the historic opportunity in biotech, Michael launched the Bio-Tech Profit Alliance.
His other publications include: Strategic Tech Investor, The Nova-X Report, Bio-Technology Profit Alliance and Nexus-9 Network.
Matt Heberling
Great insight, Michael! Biointelligence is no doubt the most pragmatic route to advance drug discovery and overcome patent infringements. It's time to make sense of the big data! Drilling down at the fundamentals of protein biophysics to engineer better proteins (targets of small molecules) will also be paramount to expand and even discover new commercial applications of protein-based biopharmaceuticals and 'smarter' small molecule drug design. Thus, protein intelligence + AI-powered protein research = reduced R&D costs and novel medicines. Take note, investors!
Traci A Sherwood
Being I'm so new at this, I would like to know. What is a yield of % mean?

The Ultimate Guide to Throwing a Virtual Wedding
From how it works to what to wear, we've got you covered.

How to Choose a Platform How to Invite Your Guests Dress the Part
How to Run the Ceremony How to Celebrate
If you're one of the thousands of couples who've had to make the difficult and emotional decision to cancel or postpone your wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic, you're understandably disappointed. And you're not alone—Google has released their "Year in Search" trending data for 2020 and "virtual marriage" made the list. This unforeseeable situation has thrown the entire wedding industry for a loop and halted so many momentous plans in the process. Not only is the wedding date you chose, as well as the season in which to marry, no longer possible, but you may not be able to have the large-scale event full of all of the friends and family you'd always dreamed of having.
What to Know If You're Planning a Wedding During the Coronavirus Pandemic
The good news: You can still have a beautiful wedding in the near future—it just might have to be virtual for the time being until it's safe to have a larger party with friends and family at a later date. The trend is catching on—and fast. In fact, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo even announced on Twitter that he issued an Executive Order allowing couples in the state to be legally wed via video conferencing. This announcement caused a huge sigh of relief for many couples planning to get married in 2020 as well as their team of vendors. (Colorado and California have since made similar announcements, and you can keep up-to-date here.)
"This announcement gives a lot of couples peace of mind to know that, even if they end up having to postpone their wedding, they don't have to postpone their legal marriage," says Leah Weinberg of Color Pop Events in Long Island City, New York. Gabby Bernstein, meditation expert and New York Times best-selling author of The Universe Has Your Back, has already led a wedding ceremony for a couple over Zoom and says it was one of the most honorable moments in her career as an officiant. "Though it wasn't a legal ceremony since the couple was in Mexico, it was a powerful moment in their lives where they shared their vows and focused on their love and commitment to each other," she says.
A virtual wedding, even if it's a temporary placeholder for the real thing, is a wonderful alternative to postponing or canceling. It can be especially beneficial for couples who have older family members who want to ensure witness their marriage in some shape or form. "Let's be honest, many people are on edge right now, for various, and understandable reasons, so giving your friends and family a celebratory experience, even if it's virtual, can be appreciated and apropos," says Artem Lomaz, award-winning DJ and Principal Event Host at NinetyThree Entertainment in New York City.
Ready to have the virtual wedding of your dreams? Here's a step-by-step guide to nailing every aspect of your Zoom vows like a pro.
Check With Your Local Clerk's Office
Even before the pandemic, marriage laws varied greatly across the country, and this rings true even more so now. For this reason, it's important for couples to get in touch with their county's clerk's office to ensure they're handling the obtaining of their license properly. "We realize that there is a lot of grey area when it comes to the concept of virtual ceremonies, so, more than anything, we just want couples to be informed, and to be cautious," says Natasha Anakotta, outreach and operations manager, with the American Marriage Ministries. Once the legalities are squared away, the fun part can begin.
There are several different platforms that you can choose from for your virtual wedding—Google Hangout, Facebook Live, Instagram Live, and Zoom. Zoom has definitely the most popular video conferencing tool for weddings and is the platform Julie Samuels, of New York City, decided to use for her April 18th nuptials. "We thought about doing it as a webinar so guests would simply click a link and view the wedding (without being able to see each other), but we decided we really wanted to see our guests and have them see us, so we ultimately did a regular Zoom," she explains. She set up two laptops—one with all of the guests facing them and the other with her rabbi behind them as he would have been in-person. "For the Zoom with all of our guests, we muted everyone and encouraged them to put their zoom on 'Speaker View' (so they would be able to see everyone else but mainly see us)."

Invite Your Guests
The easiest way to invite your guests is via e-vite or email—tailor it to your theme if you can—since the wedding will be hosted on the Internet, after all. Samuels opted for email and sent her guests a big announcement that started with "Guess what...we are still getting married tomorrow!!!" "We asked our guests to please join us for an intimate, virtual wedding ceremony on April 18th at 5:30 p.m. EST prompt," she says. "We gave them the option to dress up and drink some bubbly as they watched us say "I do" and told them that all guests would be muted but encouraged them to use the chat function to cheer and send us some love!" Lastly, her email included the Zoom meeting link and meeting ID, which ensures that only guests with that information would be able to join.
Dress the Part
Lucky for you, white reads well on camera, so even if you don't yet have your wedding dress, you can opt for a slinky gorgeous slip dress or fabulous feathered pajamas, suggests celebrity and bridal stylist Micaela Erlanger. "If you have your gown and want to wear it, that works too—but you can also consider saving it to wear when you postpone," she says. As for your guests, she recommends encouraging them to wear bright colors to symbolize celebration and add an additional burst of brightness and happiness. While you're at it, advise them against prints or stripes, which can be distracting on screen.

16 Chic and Casual Dresses for a Backyard Wedding
Do Your Own Hair & Makeup
Your go-to stylist won't be able to provide in-person services for hair and makeup, but that shouldn't stop you from dolling yourself up for your big day. Most vendors are offering virtual hair and makeup trials where they can go over different styles and looks with you and teach you how to create them yourself. Sephora beauty director, Jeffrey English, suggests keeping things simple. "I always recommend starting with your 'everyday face,' and then adding a new detail or two that you really love," he says. "In the case of a virtual wedding, you might consider a lighter, more edited makeup approach, so as not to appear too overdone on screen." It's always a good idea to test your makeup in the lighting that you'll be shooting in to see how shiny or "hot" the skin appears. He recommends having a mattifying powder on-hand, like the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder, which comes in two shades: "Translucent" for fair to medium skin tones and "Sunstone" for medium-deep to deep complexions. Next, he recommends using a highlighter and blush to amplify your complexion and a quality waterproof mascara in the case of tears (he loves Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara).
For your hair, it's all about starting with a great regimen—cleansing, conditioning, and using products to create volume and texture. To create loose curls and volume at the roots, Diane Stevens, a Nioxin top artist and D.C. salon owner, recommends doing this the day before to give the hair enough grit and hold for the big day. "Before styling, make sure your hair is completely dry so that it won't fall flat," she says. "If you're curling your hair, clip the hot curl and let it cool before hairspray six inches away." For best results, practice a few times before the wedding day so you feel confident enough to achieve the style on your own.
If you had already been in touch with a florist for your big day, consider reaching out to see how flexible they can be to make your vision come to life, bearing in mind that every state will be different in terms of what can be allowed. "They may be able to arrange a contact-less pick up of arrangements or set up a Zoom tutorial with you to help you create your own bouquet," says Oleta Collins, florist and owner of Flourish Art Design Studio in Bakersfield, California.
If you have access to a garden, perhaps your own or that of a family member, consider creating your own bridal bouquet by bounding a few blooms together with a ribbon. If you go this route, Collins recommends cutting the flowers from the garden the day before, stripping off all the foliage up to the top two to three leaves, placing them in warm water and binding and tying them the following day. "Keep the flowers in water until photos begin and pat down the bouquet with a towel before holding to make sure water does not get on the dress," she adds. For the boutonniere, she recommends taking a small flower bud and pinning it to a jacket or shirt. "It doesn't have to be wrapped or finished to a florist perfection, it's the simple notation of this 'button hole' noting that they are the special someone getting married," she says.

Many MCs like Lomaz are willing and able to participate in virtual weddings and can treat it like a typical wedding day with some adjustments. He suggests creating an entertainment timeline or "run of show" ahead of the event that you can share with your guests. "Once everyone signs in, you can devote some time to simple mingling amongst the guests, perhaps even keeping the cameras off of the wedding party, parents, and yours until it is the appropriate time to reveal," he says. "Background music can be played as each screen reveals itself: your wedding party, your parents, the newlyweds!" He suggests having a separate chat capability enabled with your MC so that they can help guide this process and give your guests the same experience as if they were watching a wedding on television. Think about additional forms of entertainment to add to the wedding, such as slideshows, virtual backgrounds, personalized elements, etc. "When it's time for dancing, let your DJ or band play and everyone can join virtually," he adds.
Run the Ceremony
It's important to make sure that the infrastructure is set up on whatever platform you are using and ensure that the link is sent to key parties, including the officiant, any loved ones participating in the ceremony, as well as a witness (which is legally required in some states and with some licenses, but not all). "You and your officiant should work together to ensure that the content and timing works for you both so that you aren't surprised during your own wedding," says Bethel Nathan, ordained officiant and owner of Ceremonies by Bethel in Bonsall, California. Since it's a virtual ceremony, she recommends opting for a shorter timeline since guests will likely have a shorter attention span than they would in-person. She also recommends enlisting the help of a friend or two to serve as co-host to take responsibility for muting and unmuting guests as directed by the officiant. "It's much easier for that to be someone other than the officiant or the couple so that they can focus on their specific roles," she says. See a sample flow of events, below.
The couple, officiant, witness, and any other key players sign on 10 minutes prior to start time. All other guests are left in the waiting room until the ceremony begins.
Admit guests at start time and keep them un-muted so they can greet each other. "Think of this period as when guests arrive at the ceremony site and want to greet and hug those they care about and maybe haven't seen in awhile," says Nathan
Once it seems like the most important guests are on the call, the officiant can let everyone know that they will now be muted, with only the officiant and the couple allowed to be heard.
The officiant conducts the ceremony as planned and approved. "If the couple would like, and the officiant is comfortable doing, there can be a point in the ceremony where you tell the guests that they will briefly be unmuted so that they can take part in a community blessing or honoring, to all chime in with their support when asked," says Nathan. She recommends that the officiant give a heads-up to all guests when they're about to pronounce the couple as married and unmute everyone so cheering can be heard as the couple shares their first kiss.
Capture It All
If your state allows and your photographer is comfortable, they still may be able to photograph your ceremony and even a few portraits from a safe distance. "Under circumstances like these, your images are going to speak louder and hold even more meaning, so capturing the true emotion and authenticity is more important than ever," says Lindsey Nicole, owner of Lindsey Nicole Photography in Boston, Massachusetts. If your photographer is not able to capture your virtual wedding, she suggests going the tripod route and using a timer to capture portraits of the two of you. "Vertical imagery in a clean, neutral space with great lighting is the most flattering for portraits," she says. In lieu of videography, you can simply record the virtual wedding in its entirety through Zoom.

Cut the Cake!
Even if you don't have a knack for baking, you can make your own wedding cake—and a beautiful one at that. Heather Anne Leavitt, owner of Sweet Heather Anne bakery in Ann Arbor, Michigan, recommends finding an online recipe for a simple naked cake and decorating it with fresh fruit, flowers, or chocolate shavings. "It's really the thought that counts and if you find a good recipe the cake will be delicious even if it's not a work of art," she says. If following an online recipe sounds like too much work, you could also go the cake mix and premade frosting route or find a baker in your area who is willing and able to make a small cake for the purpose of your ceremony. Her bakery is offering free 3-inch cakes for curbside pick-up to all of our couples who have had to postpone their wedding. "Even if couples aren't having a virtual wedding, we think it's nice for them to be able to celebrate in a small way on their original date," she says. "I would reach out to your cake baker and see what your options are."

Does Your Ministry Need a Makeover?
Sometimes we have to start over. What we have isn't working. We have to go back to the drawing board and create something entirely new. Unfortunately, we rarely get to start from scratch. We already have a ministry filled with people. Kids who attend every week and volunteers who have been serving for years. Starting over may not be possible. Charting a path from what currently exists to what needs to exist is the only option. It's possible that your ministry needs a makeover.
In November 2017, I inherited a large elementary ministry. It was a weird situation. The K-3rd grade environment had a decent small group program and a lousy large group program. Our 456 Preteen environment had a good large group program and a lousy small group program. Overall, the elementary experience was okay. Not really that great and nowhere near excellent. This ministry needed a makeover.
Nine months later, you'd barely recognize this elementary ministry. The K-3rd grade environment has amazing small groups and a fun and energetic large group program. Our 456 Preteen environment has an incredible large group experience with some of the best small group leaders I've ever seen. Our large group volunteer team quadrupled in size and we moved from 50% of our small group leaders serving just about every week to every small group leader serving every week. Almost every small group leader is being led by amazing volunteer coaches who are highly invested in their volunteers and this ministry.
This elementary ministry may be the healthiest ministry I've ever led. I'm only 3 months away from the one year mark of this ministry makeover. I'd like to share exactly how we did it. The Ministry Makeover resource will include everything we did to turn this ministry around. Emails, training notes, recruitment strategies, and structural changes are all included. You'll see exactly how we did it. This isn't a "theoretical" resource. It's as practical as it gets.
This resource is in development. To put your name on the list and to be notified of its release, include your name and email below. We'll share some pieces of this resource in the weeks to come to everyone who put their name on the list.
TELL ME WHEN THIS RESOURCE IS AVAILABLE!
We're currently putting this resource together. Put your name on this list and we'll let you know when it's available. We'll even give you a sneak peek of some of the included resources even before we're finished.
Thanks! We'll be in touch in the coming weeks!

The readings for Sunday issue a call and remind us of how precious God's Law and God's word (Holy Scriptures) are. They show us a Hebrew people trying to preserve and fulfill God's holy Law, reinstating and teaching the precious Law when the people of Israel are finally out of exile. The books of Nehemiah, the governor of Judah who depended upon God and rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, and Ezra, the Prophet who taught the people the Mosaic Law and codified it in about 464-423, (BCE-Before the Common Era) are thought to be one book divided. Together they tell the story of a faithful remnant of Jews restoring the Mosaic Law to God's people. Psalm 19, the responsorial Psalm tells us that the words of our God are spirit and life, and the Ordinances just, giving wisdom to the simple and those who seek understanding. The Scriptures, written, and taught are life-giving-often through them we are called to serve. We see Jesus beginning his teaching and preaching in the Temple in Nazareth as he vows himself to be the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets-to live and embody the Messianic prophecy of Isaiah and the essence of the Law that mandated good news to the poor, liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and a year of jubilee in which all debtors are forgiven their debts and can start over again. In Sunday's Gospel (Luke 1:1-4 and 4:14-21) Jesus is reading the Scrolls that he has been given in the Temple in Nazareth and he is reading Isaiah 61:1-2 and 58:6.
(Some scholars say that probably Jesus could not read, but quoted this from memory. This speculation is a distraction from the meaning in the text and other scholars clearly see Jesus as reading from the Scrolls in the synagogue as was the custom. Jesus was the son of a tradesman who also had the trade of carpenter. Mary, his mother was thought by some in Catholic tradition to have been a temple Servant where she would have heard and learned the Scriptures. (taylormarshall.com/2011/12did-jewish-temple-virgins-exist-and–was-Mary-a temple-virgin.html.) Jesus spoke with authority in the Temple and amazed the rabbis at the age of twelve (Luke 2: 47, 52)). But read or recited, Jesus embodied the fullness of the Law and Prophets. Jesus' call from his Abba God was to fully embody the Law of Compassion and Justice-to preach good news to the poor. Is this not our call too?
In Luke 4:14-21, Jesus announces his call, his ministry and his purpose: to preach the Good News to the poor and least powerful while opening the eyes of the blind. I had a career dedicated to service to the poor as a social worker and Professor of Social Work. But In 1981 and 1982 I wrestled with what God was asking of me. I was an Associate Professor at NYU School of Social Work. I lived in NYU housing and crossed Washington Square Park every day to teach my classes on Washington Square. But inevitably I stopped along the way to talk with the many homeless individuals including women, who slept in the Park. My heart was moved, my soul was stirred, my spirit was restless and I spent many a night wrestling with the Scriptures and with God. One night in 1982 The Isaiah 61 passage and Luke 4 spoke to me in a way that I understood as God's call to serve the homeless. With much excitement I brought my Faculty friends together and shared my hope that we could "do something" about homelessness. We focused primarily on homeless women and the plan entailed the involvement of the NYC Department of Human Resources Administration on one level and my direct practice in women's shelters on another level. It was this direct practice level that affirmed my call. I offered individual counseling and services and group counseling and heard the life stories of homeless women until I understood who "the homeless women" were-quite a diverse group. But when I went in the mornings the physically sicker women were still in bed, and they were clutching Bibles and rosaries. As I approached them they asked me to pray with them. I did and I read Scriptures with them and sometimes I sang hymns with them. I used all my social work skills as did my students and colleagues, but what God wanted from me was a return to faith and to preach good news to the poor and I could only do this by renewing and sharing my faith. I did, weeping tears of joy, and this began the realization of my call to serve the homeless that became lifelong, culminated in my ordination as a Roman Catholic woman Priest who would serve the poor directly and in my current Good Shepherd Ministry and Inclusive Catholic Community with co-Pastor Judy Beaumont. Through the words of Isaiah, the Holy Spirit called me even as Jesus was called. My life was totally changed, turned around. How precious are the Scriptures and our access to these sacred words.
In the middle of the picture below is Laura whom I first met in the East 3rd Street Women's Shelter in 1982. The picture was taken last year and Laura continues to be my dear friend. On her other side is Danielle who shared in my ministry with the homeless and my life in the 70's and early 80's. We are enjoying a visit to Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn as three old friends. Judy Beaumont took the picture and is now another old friend for Laura. Laura's story is a bit different as she is a traditional and devout Orthodox Jew, but she was alone and without resources or support after the deaths of her parents and the loss of an elderly woman she cared for. She was understandably depressed,anxious and terrified of leaving the Shelter and we worked hard an reconnecting her to her world and to a degree of autonomy. She eventually moved into a residence for people with such problems and has become a blessing there for so many others over the years. When people are discharged from hospitals and prisons with no clothes, Laura's Boutique clothes them for free and her friendship mentors them. Hers is a life of mitzvot-selfless giving according to the Law that is a blessing to her and others. They know that she was where they are and they take heart.
Imagine living your life in exile, in a land that is not yours and not being able to practice the customs of your own land and the religion you love above all. Imagine being forbidden to read the Scriptures or even hear them, and to worship God in the way of your people, in the way that you know and love. This was the plight of the Jewish people in exile for hundreds of years. In the reading from Nehemiah (Neh 8:2-4a, 5-6,8-10) we see a people just out of exile struggling to reestablish their own precious understanding of God, their religion, their Mosaic Law, once again. We see the people weeping to hear their own Scriptures read to them by Ezra. The Scriptures were "interpreted" by the prophet Ezra, that is translated from Hebrew to Aramaic so the people could understand. And, the people wept for joy because they could finally hear and understand. This, to me, is the essence of good preaching and teaching, to put the words of God out to all, in the language of the people, in the language of their experiences as well, so they can understand.
I also imagine that some refugees and immigrants feel this way in a strange land-that their religious beliefs and practices are not welcome and should be hidden, even if it was their choice to migrate. But especially if there were no choices and if there was no religious freedom, people long to worship as they did in their own homelands. I know some devout Muslims even here in Florida who do not attend the Mosque so as not to bring discrimination down on their heads and the heads of their children. This happened after 9/11 but before the current terrorism of Isil. They practiced their religion and prayed as a family but did not feel comfortable at their place of worship. And now the discrimination against Muslims is so much stronger that even a Presidential candidate slurs and condemns a whole group and remains popular with a certain segment of the American people. I imagine if there were truly freedom of religion and freedom from oppression in all of America, some people would weep for Joy! How many levels of "to let the oppressed go free" are relevant to those of us who love the Law and love the Gospel! Oppressed religious minorities are among those that the Mosaic Law and the Gospel might set free, and Jesus came to do just this.
The reading from the letter of Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor 12;12-30) establishes that we are all parts of the one body of Christ and that all parts are equal though quite different. We are all given unique and varying gifts to spread the Gospel, the words of God. If one part of the body suffers, all suffer, if one is honored, all share its joy. The likeliness of physical parts of the body to the body of Christ and even to all of God's people is a good one-when my toe hurts (with arthritis) my whole body hurts. When any part of God's people are hurt and not heard, be they religious minorities or sexual minorities, people of color or people of different lands, languages and cultures, all of us suffer. (Those in the Abramic tradition have so much in common it is sad to always dwell on the differences). We each have gifts to share so that the Law of Justice and Compassion can be shared, especially with the poorest and most disenfranchised among us.
With the help of God's Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom, Sofia, Jesus had a special call and mission to fulfill. Both Matthew and Luke see Jesus as the Messianic fulfillment-see Matt. 11:4-6 and compare to this Gospel (Luke 4:14-21). In both Gospels Jesus is saying that he has come to fulfill and is fulfilling the Law and prophets that preach good news to the poor. He is the One who is expected. In the Gospel of Mark (1: 14) we also see that Jesus went about in Galilee proclaiming the Kingdom of God: "the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near, repent and believe in the good news…" Jesus came to preach the good news, and to embody it. But what he was expected to do, he expects US to do. We are to preach Good News to the poor that will include them being poor no more as that is the essence of compassion, justice and mercy. We are not to say to the hungry and thirsty, be filled, go find water, but we are to give them food and a drink of water and a way to getting these basic rights. We are to act to change social structures that are victimizing the poor and those who are disenfranchised. In Fort Myers there is finally a statute that states people do not have to list felonies on job applications, for how will they ever pick themselves up if they are denied jobs? Certainly some employers will still do background checks, but hopefully a few more people will get a chance to work if they do not have to list past felonies. This is to preach liberty to the captives in a tangible way.
We are to share in the Mission Jesus outlines at the beginning of his Ministry in Luke 4 as the Spirit of the Lord is upon him. God's Holy Spirit still rests on us and speaks today and it reminds us of the sacred Scriptures and the commands of the Law and of the prophets: we too are to bring glad tidings to the poor and to everyone!

Mr Perkins is a Bondi hotspot that serves up the kind of delicious fare that's high on nourishment and low on guilt. Offering an alternative to the usual junk take-away options, Mr Perkins delights with its home cooked, slow approach to food. It's located a stone's throw from Bondi Beach and has a seasonal menu developed in tandem with a nutritionist — the perfect recipe for keeping beach boys and babes in good health. This month, Urbanbar spoke with owner Shari to learn more about the Mr Perkins approach to food and health.
What is it about Mr Perkins that makes it so unique?
Mr Perkins was originally a fast food idea; we wanted to offer something for people who need something quickly but still want a health option. When you look at what's out there, there's not much — it's either food courts or bad cafes at the bottom of office buildings. So we wanted to offer something more homely and we focus on a 'grab-and-go' style of service, as well as some seating in our Bondi location.
We realise people are busy so we offer things like slow-cooked bone broth that's cooked for over 14 hours. That means people can get all their nutrients in without having to do the hard work. Whether it's as a hangover cure, a nourishing lunch or just an afternoon pick-me-up!
What do you like the most about working with your team?
My husband Phillip and I have two business partners, the Millers, who are a brother and sister team, so it's a really family-friendly approach. We love working with our friends. Our staff are mostly travellers, so they come to stay in Bondi, have a good time and experience the Australian way of life. It's fun to have internationals working with us and enjoying the atmosphere.
How do you manage the pace of working in hospitality?
By eating what we make! We live on soup and salads, which are delicious. We have a 2 year old, 4 year old and 8 month old. We opened our doors eight months ago, just a week after our youngest was born. It was a very intense week to say the least!
What's been your favourite Mr Perkins experience so far?
Apart from our exciting opening and all the fun times since, we're really looking forward to the upcoming launch of The Wellness Cleanse package. This is a new product that's offering something quite unique: 6 small daily meals and snacks including broths, smoothies and treats.
If there were just 5 produce items you could buy this winter, what would they be?
Kale & Cauliflower is our signature soup, so those two ingredients for sure. Then Pumpkin, (I like the Kent variety), followed by garlic, which is perfect for adding flavour and boosting immunity.
The final ingredient would be Turmeric! It's an ingredient in our Golden Smoothie, which has mango, macadamia and a choice of milk options in it too.
What do you try to achieve through presentation, uniforms and design through the Mr Perkins?
We want to look fresh and clean in our uniforms and design so we emphasise clean lines and minimalistic style. We did a lot of black and white, which carried through into our shop frontage design.
When we saw the options available at Urbanbar, we really loved the clean t-shirt style with the black and white stripe; it perfectly fit our look and feel. On our black and white t-shirt we've got the Mr Perkins logo and on our aprons we went with embroidery with a screen print.
What's your perfect after-work drink?
I'm going with spicy veal bone broth! A lot of people in Bondi have switched their coffee intake for a bone broth recently. It's an afternoon pick-me-up and very warming for winter. It's got quite a kick to it too.


Abstract:Over the most recent three decades, designing instruction explore (EER) has gained noteworthy ground towards a field of interdisciplinary grant. This paper characterizes EER by building up a watchword based plan for investigating EER- related logical distributions and coordinated effort. The catchphrase based plan alludes to a theoretical structure we have created for producing a stingy rundown of watchwords which are remarkable in EER. The produced watchwords were utilized to gather bibliographic records from ISI Web of Science® (WoS), a reference list giving access to the world's driving reference databases and diaries. To play out a far reaching look for EER-related writing by utilizing the scope of truncation rules and the propelled seek choices accessible in WoS, the venture influences following commitments to the flow information to base on interdisciplinary research in EE: (1) building training research is operationalized as a modern and deliberately determined an arrangement of catchphrases and (2) the strategy for the ebb and flow study may fill in as a noteworthy advance towards quantitative examination of the new logical field..


So the Boston Salon thing seems to meet with general approval!
I hearby christen it SmallCon...or TinyCon. What do you guys think?
So I am going to suggest October 2nd as a first try at this. Who could make that? Who could host--or is there a place we could go that's not Diesel (too busy)? I'm open to alternate dates, too.
We could even have a theme if we wanted. That might be too dorky. But I am the kind of dork who would dress up for a book club if I could get away with it, so. What do we want to do for our first meetup?
1. Yes, you can come if you haven't met me before! I want to meet new people, that's part of what this is about.
2. Yes, if this proves successful, we could try meeting up in Portland, too, and maybe even a New York SmallCon. But I'm willing to be the only one traveling for now.
Not real sure at all that I could make that conflict of timing work out, especially with StrowlerCon the very next weekend, but that's okay.
I'm sure I can make it another month.
I was trying to make it work with me going south to nyc that tuesday and then back up for StrowlerCon. I'm amenable to other dates post Sept 22, though.
We'll be in Prague until Oct 8th, then have a wedding in Maine the 9th, but could attend/host after that.
I'm teaching workshops that day and will probably be too exhausted afterwards to even think about going out. Woe!
As I said I'm open to alternate dates!
The 2nd might work for me, depending on how some other half-formed plans end up forming.
I love the name! And I am totally in favor of there being a NYC gathering as well.
Oct 2nd and the last weekend of Sept are both good for me.
You definitely can't have a conversation or more than 4 people sitting in close proximity at Dali or Redbones. Anywhere in Burlington, it should be noted, is T-inaccessible (2+ hours by combinations of buses), so most of the Bostonites wouldn't be able to attend. Not sure about Papa Razzi; I know there's a location in the Back Bay.
September 25 (last Saturday in September) or October 2 both work for me. I hope it works out!

Q: Por quê minha condição não está me dando o resultado esperado? Estou realizando uma quebra de linhas sem usar a função wordwrap().
Receberei uma string com o texto, e um int com o comprimento de caracteres permitido por linhas como parâmetro. Terei que cortar essa string, depois inserí-la num vetor já cortada. As condições para corte são:

*

*Se uma palavra não couber na linha e o comprimento dela for menor que o limite de caracteres, ela não deve ser cortada, e sim jogada para a próxima linha.

*Se a palavra for maior que o limite de caracteres por linha, corte a palavra e continue a imprimi-la na linha seguinte.

Eu acho que provavelmente o erro esteja nas condições porém não estou conseguindo identificá-lo, alguma ajuda?
Ao imprimir o vetor, eu recebo:

Array(0)=>'Se vi mais'
  Array(1)=>'longe foi'
  Array(2)=>'por estar'
  Array(3)=>'de pé'
  Array(4)=>'sobre'
  Array(5)=>'ombros de'
  Array(6)=>'gigantes'

Porém, preciso imprimir:

Array(0)=>'Se vi mais'
  Array(1)=>'longe foi'
  Array(2)=>'por estar de'
  Array(3)=>'pé sobre'
  Array(4)=>'ombros de'
  Array(5)=>'gigantes'

Segue o código que desenvolvi abaixo:
  class Resolution implements TextWrapInterface {

  public function textWrap(string $text,int $length):array {
//local variables
$words=explode(" ",$text); //separate the text into words
$arr=array();              //array used for return
$string=" ";
$limit=$length; //limit of characters per line
$line=0;//array line

for($i = 0; $i < count($words); $i++){
    $string = $words[$i]." ";
   if((strlen($words[$i])>$length)){
    //cut the world and print the remaining letters on the next line
    $this->cutWord($arr,$words[$i],$limit,$length,$line);
  }else
   if($limit>=strlen($string)){
        //add the word in array line
        $arr[$line]=(array_key_exists($line,$arr))?
    $arr[$line].$string:$string;
        //subtract the limit with the quantity of characters
        $limit-=strlen($string);
    }else
        if($limit<strlen($string)){

            //line++ for inserting the string on a next index
            $line++;
            $limit=$length;
            //add the word on array line
            $arr[$line]=$string;
            //subtract the limit with the quantity of characters
            $limit-=strlen($string);
        }
   }

    return $arr;
     print_r($arr);

   }

   //and then I've got a cutWord function
  private function cutWord(&$array,$word,&$limit,$length,$index){

 for($i = 0; $i < strlen($word); $i++){

//verify if the index doesn't have any words in
 if(($limit!=$length)&&($i==0)){
  $index++; // jump an array line
  $limit=$length; //limit receives starting value
 }
//verify if the limit is > 0
 if($limit<=0) {
$index++;
$limit=$length; //limit receives starting value
 }
//add the letter in the array index concatenating with the previous
$array[$index]=(array_key_exists($index,$array))?
$array[$index].$word[$i]:$word[$i];
$limit--;
}
    $array[$index]=$array[$index]." ";

how long do sexless marriages last
Published January 17, 2023 | By Bob J
Are you in a sexless marriage and feeling overwhelmed? Are you wondering how much longer it can last? Do you feel like your relationship is on the rocks and need some guidance? If so, this blog post is for you! We'll explore what it takes to make a sexless marriage work, from looking at how long they typically last to tips for reigniting the spark.
What is a Sexless Marriage?
A sexless marriage is one in which a couple has not had intercourse or any other form of physical intimacy in an extended period of time. This can vary depending on the couple, but it's typically considered to be a marriage without sex for a year or more. It's important to note that this definition applies regardless of whether both partners want to be in a sexless relationship or if one partner is forcing the other into it. In either case, it can lead to a lot of frustration and unhappiness for both partners.
Source : science-of-sex.com
Why Do Sexless Marriages Happen?
There are many reasons why sexless marriages happen. One of the most common is when one or both partners lose interest in sex. This could be due to physical or mental health issues, fatigue, stress, or a lack of emotional connection. Other times, it's simply because there's no longer the same spark that was there in the early stages of the relationship. Additionally, sexless marriages can also be caused by different sex drives or an unwillingness to engage in sexual activity due to religious beliefs. Whatever the cause, it can be difficult to rekindle intimacy and connection once it's gone.
What Can You Do if You're in a Sexless Marriage?
If you're in a sexless marriage, it can be difficult to know what to do. It can be especially difficult if only one partner wants sex, while the other doesn't. If this is the case, it's important to talk openly and honestly with your partner to work on understanding why they don't want sex and if there are any changes that can be made. If both partners are asexual or have a low libido, it is possible to have a satisfying relationship without sex. It takes effort to keep the relationship healthy and happy, but it can be done. For example, couples can focus on activities that bring them closer together, such as cuddling, talking, and exploring each other's interests. This can help to create an intimate connection that can be just as fulfilling as sexual intimacy.
Can a Sexless Marriage Last?
Although a sexless marriage can be difficult for some couples, it can last a lifetime if both parties are content with the lack of sex. A 2017 study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior revealed that almost 18 thousand people surveyed, roughly 15% were in sexless relationships. Some couples may be able to overcome their issues and make it work, while others may find it too hard to stay together without any physical or emotional intimacy. It's important for those in a sexless relationship to talk openly about the situation, address any underlying issues, and work together to find a solution that works for both parties.
Should a Man Stay in a Sexless Marriage?
When it comes to men and sexless marriages, men should be honest and open about their feelings. It can be difficult to stay in a marriage that is lacking in physical and emotional intimacy. However, it is important for both parties to communicate their needs and desires. If the couple can come to an agreement on how to address the issue, then it may be possible for the relationship to last. Survey results show that most people are willing to wait up to eighteen months in a sexless relationship, so it is important for both partners to discuss their expectations and decide if they can make the marriage work.
How to Have Intimacy and Closeness in a Sexless Relationship
Physical intimacy is often one of the factors that makes a relationship more than just a platonic friendship. Low or no sex can be a difficult situation for couples to tackle. But, there are ways to have intimacy and closeness in a sexless marriage. It is important to remember that sex is not always necessary to feel intimate and loved. Couples can find ways to rekindle their connection and build strong bonds through non-sexual activities. This could include cuddling, watching movies together, taking walks, going out for dinner and spending quality time with each other. Communication is also essential to make sure both partners feel heard and understood. If one partner is not comfortable talking about their needs, it can be beneficial to see a therapist to help them explore what they need from the relationship.
Signs of an Unhealthy Sexless Relationship
While a sexless marriage isn't necessarily an unhealthy one, there are signs that the relationship may be headed in the wrong direction. If your sex life has gone from passion to nonexistent, it may be a sign of a larger issue. Communication is key and if you and your partner have tried to work issues out and still can't find a solution, it may be time to seek out a couples therapist or sex therapist. "Sexless relationships happen all the time," says Dr. Stephen Snyder, MD, CST, is a board-certified sex therapist and licensed marriage and relationship counselor. "It can be perplexing for both partners because it's hard to know what to do about it. But talking about it in couples therapy can help."
The Early Stage of a Relationship: The "Limerence" or "Honeymoon" Stage
It is important to recognize the early stage of a relationship, as it is often very different from the days that follow. Relationship researchers and therapists refer to this stage as the "limerence" or "honeymoon" stage, which lasts anywhere from a few weeks to several months. During this time, couples often experience an intense surge of passion and excitement for one another and may even get away with some behaviors that would not be tolerated much later in the relationship. This phase is marked by strong feelings of infatuation, which can turn into true love over time if nurtured correctly. It is important to recognize that the honeymoon phase is only temporary and that real and lasting relationships require effort and dedication from both parties.
How to Rekindle Intimacy After a Sexless Marriage
The tendency not to have sex with a partner now occurs earlier in a marriage than it used to be. While couples may feel a loss of intimacy, it doesn't mean they can't bring it back. It is possible to rekindle the passion in a sexless marriage and build a strong emotional and physical connection again. Couples can start by communicating honestly with each other about their needs and expectations. Developing an open dialogue and expressing their feelings can help couples understand each other better. Additionally, couples can engage in activities that bring them closer, such as taking a walk together or cooking dinner together. Practicing self-care is another way to reconnect, as well as going on date nights or sharing special moments together. With effort and patience, couples can revive the connection in their marriage.
The Impact of a Sexless Marriage on Mental and Physical Health
The psychological and physical impact of a sexless marriage can be devastating. Not only can it lead to depression, anxiety and other mental health issues, but it can also have physical effects, such as poor sleep and weakened immunity. Couples in a sexless marriage should not feel ashamed or embarrassed, as it is more common than many people think. In order to improve the overall health of the relationship, it is important to communicate openly and honestly about the issue and explore potential solutions. With the right support, couples can find ways to reconnect and enjoy intimacy once again.

A lot of business spring up every day making the market very competitive. As much as we will love to think that your idea or product is the only factor that affects your success rate, that's simply isn't the case. A major factor that affects the success of your business is your brand. Your brand is your business's distinct voice, its what set you apart from your competitors. Your brand effectively communicates your message and helps you connect with your target audience. It is what makes a compelling argument for your product, service or business. Knowing how important your brand image is to the success of your business, it is important to nurture you brand health. It is important to evaluate your brand health regularly to ensure you strengths shine and that you improve your weakness. This post is going to discuss some questions you should ask yourself when you areevaluating your brand's health.
When you are evaluating your brand health, it is important you determine if your brand has a voice or personality and if it does, are your team and customers aware. Like it was mentioned earlier, a brand is your distinct voice and what makes your business stand out. If you imagine your brand and other brands in your industry as people with personalities. Compare each "person", does your "person" stand out or is bland and average. If the "person" has a personality, does the personality match your brand's values, vision and mission? These are important things you need to consider when evaluate your brand health.
Does Your Brand Clearly Communicate Your Reason for Being?
Once you have understood who you are as a brand or "person" ,the next step to evaluating your brand health is finding out if you haveclearly communicated who you are. You need to find out if your customers,employees, management's impression of brand is similar to your set brand image.Also you need to determine if your business everyday activities are run tosupport your brand image.
Do You Have Clearly Defined Target Audiences?
Another important thing to consider when you are evaluating your brand health is defining who your target audience is. Every business and brand needs to know who their target audience is, it is an important building block when building a marketing strategy, campaign or your brand image. Without a clear definition of who your target audience is, you won't be able to be able to adequately communicate your brand purpose and image. Your brand might stand the risk of being a bland brand that doesn't exactly appeal to anyone.
Does Your Brand Assets Represent Your Current Brand Positioning?
Assessing all your brand assets is another thing you have to do when evaluating your brand health. Does your name, tagline, logo, marketing, messaging, website etc. match up to the brand image you are portraying? If it doesn't match up, then it is time to rebrand.
Are You Distinguishable From Competing Brands?
To evaluate your brand health, it is important to determine if your brand is easily distinguishable for other competitors. Does your brand stand out? what is unique about your brand when compared to other competitors? It is important that when you compare your brand with your competitor, you come out on top and have a distinct voice.
Your brand is your distinct voice, it is vital you take time to evaluate it and strengthen areas of weakness because it is a major factor that determines how successful your brand will be.
