Based on the grading system that I outlined in my previous post, Grade #1, sometimes called sushi grade tuna is as high as it gets. The ideal scenario is quite simple: the fish is caught, drained of blood and treated and chilled immediately. If there are no complications the fish should be in perfect, undamaged condition with no internal sicknesses. Deviations from this ideal scenario are common and fish that was once in pristine condition can be physically damaged in shipping, temperature abused, or can begin to decompose. These sources of degredation need to be minimized in order to save the fish from being down-graded from a #1.
Freshness is the most important factor.
The longer the fish spends out of the ocean, the more the meat becomes discolored, the odor becomes stronger and the texture of the meat gets softer. Discoloration starts from the skin and belly and is most apparent when the fish is cut into a loin, however you can also see signs when the fish is still whole. Discoloration, odor and softness lower the value of the fish significantly. In addition, any disease that the fish has, such as sashi or cancer, will spread in the time it spends out of the water.
Fishing trips can be anywhere between a day to a month, based on the size of the boat. Day boats are normally smaller and use a rod and reel in what's called the handline fishing method. Although a shorter trip means a fresher fish, the nature of fighting with the fish as it tries to escape causes the core temperature of the fish to rise. This results in what's reffered to in the industry as "burned" meat, a condition that can be minimized if the fish is brought in after only a brief fight.
Longline vessels, on the other hand, can go out for up to a month at a time. For example, a boat leaves port, takes a week to reach a fishing ground, fishes for two weeks, then takes a few days to return. As you can imagine, the first fish that's caught may be two to three weeks old by the time it reaches the port, while the last caught fish may be only a few days old. These vessels use the longline fishing tecnique, which consists of dragging a long line with evenly spaced hooks behind the boat. This method allows the fish to cool down before being hauled out of the water, so although the although the fish caught on these boats is not as fresh, they are generally less "burnt" than fish from smaller boats.
After the fish is unloaded from the boats, it may be shipped out to The United States from its point of origin in a day or two. Next, importers receive the fish and distribute it to the wholesale seafood distributors, who either hold it in inventory or sell it immediately to restaurants. As you can imagine, there is already variation in the freshness and quality of the meat at this point in the supply chain.
For obvious reasons, fish tend to be distressed when they're brought onboard. At this point, the fish can cause damage to its bones and meat while flopping around on deck. This results in cracked bones and blood clots, causing the meat to "break" as shown below (the breaking is the gap you see between the muscles) THERE IS NO PICTURE CORRESPONDING TO THIS TEXT. Breaking is even more apparent once the meat is cut in to sashimi slices.
Therefore, once onboard, the fish must be drained of blood, immobilized immediately and the nervous system must be killed. Next, the guts must be removed and the fish must be cooled down as soon as possible by covering it in ice or dumping it in ice water. The core tends to be the hottest, so the best way to cool it is to fill the stomach cavity with ice. The sooner this is done, the less likely the meat will come out burnt. From this point on it's a matter of how you can slow down decomposition and control further damage.
Fish that normally swim in colder climates are less prone to sicknesses, have higher fat, and firmer texture. As you'll remember from my first article on sushi grade tuna, firm and fatty tuna make for better sushi, so fish caught during the colder seasons are generally higher in quality.
Fish that live in warmer climates on the other hand, are more prone to some sicknesses such as sashi, which is not harmful to humans, but is not pleasing to the eye and should not be present in sushi grade tuna.
The fat content and color of the meat can vary based on the fish's diet. Tuna that feed on mackerel and herring tend to have a higher fat content and the discoloration process is slower than in tuna with other diets, making these fish ideal for making high quality fatty tuna sushi.
On the other hand fish that consume leaner fish and squid are more lean themselves and may have lighter red color to the meat. Although fatty tuna is generally preffered when evaluating sushi grade fish, variations in color are a matter of preference. Customers on the East Coast tend to preffer the deep reds of fish caught in Sri Lanka, those on the West Coast preffer the lighter reds of Southeast Asian fish.

Transient Neurological Symptoms Possible With Intracerebral Hemorrhage
February 25, 2016 by Reuters Staff, Reuters Health
Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can occasionally present with rapidly resolving deficits that resemble transient ischemic attacks (TIA), researchers report.
"One assumes that bleeding in the brain parenchyma causes permanent tissue damage which should produce lingering neurological deficits," Dr. Sandeep Kumar from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, told Reuters Health by email. "Our observations tell us that in some patients with intracerebral hemorrhage there are other mechanisms that are operative in influencing clinical recovery after ICH."
ICH usually presents with an abrupt onset of neurological deficits that progress over time, and it is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. In some patients, the deficits are less pronounced and brain imaging is required to differentiate ICH from an ischemic stroke.
Dr. Kumar and colleagues used a database search to assess the frequency of TIA-like presentations of ICH, which have not previously been reported.
They identified 34 patients with transient deficits among 2,137 patients who had a spontaneous ICH. They detailed the clinical courses of 17 patients whose records were complete in their JAMA Neurology online report.
The median patient age was 65, and most hemorrhages involved the basal ganglia or neighboring white matter tracts. All hemorrhages were small (mean volume, 17 mL) with no intraventricular hemorrhage or hydrocephalus.
Patients experienced paresthesia, hemiparesis, dysnomia, dysarthria, dizziness, and other symptoms. The typical symptoms of ICH were usually absent.
These symptoms lasted less than 30 minutes in nine patients, six hours or less in five patients, and more than 12 but less than 24 hours in one patient.
Among nine patients for whom detailed follow-up information was available, there were no recurrences of symptoms suggestive of a stroke or TIA in the ensuing one to eight months.
"Our report shows that transient clinical signs and symptoms resembling TIAs or small infarcts can occur in patients with ICH and solely relying on clinical phenomenology to call an event a TIA without neuroimaging can be misleading," Dr. Kumar said. "Although this clinical presentation of ICH may be unusual, it needs to be eliminated before administering any antithrombotic agents or anticoagulants."
"We need prospective studies possibly using novel neuroimaging techniques to better understand the basis of this phenomenon," Dr. Kumar said. "It may provide valuable insights in understanding the mechanism of recovery after ICH that can be exploited to develop therapies."
The authors reported no external funding or disclosures.

Iv been searching for ages looking for a decent dungeon crawler, I like the ones where you can invite party members to help you along the way, I'm currently playing KingsRoad which at first I thought was an amazing RPG dungeon crawler, after afew months though I'm finding it very repetitive and boring.... Iv played afew like dungeon hunter 4/5, spirit lords, taichi panda, arcane legends, immortals, destiny warriors, but I just cannot get into them, I'm not a fan of the great big massive attacks etc... is there any more out there iv missed? I also need it to be cross platform as I like to play with my friends from Andriod as I am ios, any pointers would be much appriciated, thanks for reading.
Try Undercroft - it's free.
What about Pocket Legends or Hero Mages.
Sounds like you're looking for something else. Not trying to get deep, but this sounds more like you're looking for connection from other people, I'm only saying that because I went through the same thing. If that's not the case then no iOS dungeon crawlers are going to do it for you, so you might have to go to PC or console.
Also, the world II hunting: online is coming out soon.
I need multiplayer 3d dungeon crawlers!

Singapore ties with US, NKorea make city-state summit site
Annabelle Liang | The Associated Press
Singapore's financial skyline is seen lining the edge of the Singapore River on Thursday. U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on upcoming June 12, Trump announced in a Tweet Thursday.
WONG MAYE-E / AP
SINGAPORE — Singapore's diplomatic ties with North Korea and its relative proximity made the Southeast Asian city-state a natural choice for the historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump announced in a tweet Thursday the two leaders will meet in Singapore on June 12.
The city is "a great location" for the summit, said Tom Plant, who specializes in nuclear and proliferation issues at London's Royal United Services Institute. "Kim will be on friendly territory, not hostile territory. But he wouldn't be on home turf."
Among the factors: It's closer for Kim than possible Europe venues, the experience of Singapore's security forces, and the fact that Pyongyang has had diplomatic relations with the country since 1975.
Singapore is familiar ground for the reclusive communist country, which has its embassy in Singapore's central business district.
Single-party rule since Singapore gained independence in 1965 has ensured stability and fostered a security state that is among the world's most efficient. Located between two Muslim majority nations — Malaysia and Indonesia — with Islamic State group sympathizers, it has effectively checked terrorist threats.
It's also a perfect venue for top security meetings — protests are not allowed without permission, movement is strictly controlled and media are kept under control.
Singapore is sometimes decried by civil libertarians as repressive. Among the most common complaints: preventive detention without warrants or charges; monitoring of private electronic or telephone communications also without warrants; the use of defamation laws to discourage government criticism and strict laws limiting freedom of association, according to the annual U.S. State Department human rights report.
North Korea's state companies have, in the past, conducted legal and illegal business dealings with Singaporean companies. The city-state, under pressure from the U.S. and a leaked U.N. report, officially cut off trade relations with North Korea in 2017 to abide by sanctions.
Singapore also is welcome ground for the United States.
It is a large trading partner, the second-largest Asian investor, and a longtime supporter of its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region. It's also the regional headquarters of large U.S. companies including Google, Facebook and Airbnb. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in 1966.
"The North Korean side will likely have a very large number of logistical and protocol issues it wants addressed by the summit venue, so having a (North Korean) embassy in the country where the summit is to be held is likely a requirement," said Malcolm Cook, a senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore.
Located just over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) from North Korea, Singapore is comfortably within the flying range of its aircraft. Flying to western Europe would require a stop or two to refuel.
"Singapore is neither too far away as European nations are, allowing Kim Jong Un's private jet to make it here without refueling, nor too close that Trump might be seen as 'giving way' to Kim by having to travel a longer distance than the latter," said Nah Liang Tuang, a research fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Singapore David Adelman said Singapore was ideal because it has been "an honest broker between East and West."
"Singapore has been a great friend to the U.S. but also Singapore has carefully worked to be a friend to all, which has earned it trust in capitals around the world," he said.
Its free enterprise philosophy welcomes trading partners from everywhere, regardless of politics.
"We hope this meeting will advance prospects for peace in the Korean Peninsula," Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
In 2015, Singapore was the site of another unprecedented summit between two leaders burdened with a legacy of mutual distrust: Chinese President Xi Jinping and rival Taiwan's then-President Ma Ying-jeou, the first such meeting since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
It also has hosted regional meetings, including the summits of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in 2007 and 2018. Since 2002, an annual security conference has been held there, featuring defense chiefs and officials from countries including the U.S., China and South Korea.
For such gatherings, roadblocks are set up around the summit venues, where armed Nepalese Gurkhas stand guard.
In 2015, Gurkha officers fired at a car that breached four roadblocks and crashed into a concrete barrier. The driver was killed and two passengers arrested in what turned out to be a drug-related crash, rather than an attack.
Valued foreign guests won't be troubled by protesters, either. Demonstrations in Singapore can only be held in a designated area, the 2.4-acre (0.9-hectare) Hong Lim Park.
Amnesty International says amendments to the country's Public Order Act have given authorities more power to restrict public assembly, and participants in peaceful protests have been arrested.

#Will You Get Rich if You Study Marketing?
9th March 2016 martinatopicLeave a comment
I run into a few forum discussions of prospective students wondering if they can get rich if they study marketing. At first I thought it was a very weird question because when I was deciding what to study long time ago in 1998, I did not even think of the financial aspect of my choice. I do remember I was considering law as it always interested me and I do genuinely believe I would be a good lawyer, but the financial aspect was nowhere near my mind. I do know now I would have made much more money had I opted for a career in law, but I am still not sorry for making the choice to study Journalism and Political science for my first degrees, then working as a journalist, communications professional and entrepreneur, as well as later continuing studies to go to academia.
I am not rich and I never will be, but I love what I do and I love experiences I gained. I feel already rich in other ways, but I do see why many do not feel that way. I suppose it might have something to do with the generation and different values we were developing when we were growing up, and the one developed by present children who are addicted to Internet and their mobile phones. Nevertheless, some statistics show that more people have a mobile phone than a toothbrush. Just look at the video below:
However, a part of responsibility for youngsters asking this question also comes from the media who extensively report on most prosperous professions that can make those who opt for them rich. For example, The Telegraph published an article last year discussing study options to become a billionaire (Davidson, 2015). In that analysis, it appeared that engineering scores the best, but arts surprisingly scored well too. Marketing is not mentioned on this list, so I looked around a little bit just to see what data says. I haven't conducted a proper research, so this is just a small insight into the field.
What about Marketing?
When it comes to marketing, if you look at average salaries in marketing, the situation is not bad at all. For example, according to Reed (2016), an average salary for marketing executive (which is more of a starting position) is over £28,000, while a marketing director has an average of £73,935. This is all just a salary without additional income or bonuses. However, what is essential to note is that marketing as a profession is on the rise as many organisations are realising they need marketers and other communication professionals in their teams. According to the Hays recruiting agency (2016), not only that marketers are becoming more popular but they also express satisfaction with their salaries and opportunities to get a raise in salary.
However, I personally think the answer to the question whether one can get rich by becoming a marketer is "depends". I think this depends on many issues such as whether one can manage to progress to senior management in a corporation then s/he will certainly have a high salary and a competitive bonus. It is enough to remember an unsuccessful M&S CEO Marc Bolland who resigned due to bad business performance in the fashion department but was still eligible for a generous bonus (Armstrong, 2016). I have also written about M&S problems in one of my previous blogs (Topić, 2016).
Nevertheless, I think the question whether marketing can bring wealth is flawed. I think the right question is whether one can get to a high position with a degree in marketing. I personally do not see why not. To me it seems more like a matter of choice to set a goal and work hard towards achieving those goals. It may be difficult, it may take a while, it may take a few job changes, but in the end I would not see a reason why it would not work out if you have a degree in marketing.

1).Depending upon one's point of view, you could say this week is the 3rd start of the 2017/18 season, following the October opener in Napa at the Safeway, or the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Maui.
CBS TV would doubtless reckon it begins next week at Torrey Pines when Major TV Network coverage begins.
And some would dismiss the first third of the season entirely and say it really starts when the Florida Swing kicks off.
And many in the Northern United States would say that the season proper doesn't mean a thing until The Masters in April. Which, in reality, is the first event of the second half of the Tour season.
2).That is a long way of noting that the first quarter of this season concludes when the CareerBuilder Challenge has built the career of their champion.
Give or take an irregularity at the counting house, the CareerBuilder is the 10th event that pros can play, Houston the 20th, Memphis the 30th, and Greensboro the 40th and final tournament week before the Play-Offs.
And some guys haven't even played yet!
Woods & McIlroy haven't played at all (except in presidential company) and nor have Sergio & Shane (too bad they weren't invited), Kaymer or Oosthuizen.
Justin Rose is played one, won one.
And Others just have one event: Stenson, Hatton, Fleetwood, Fisher, Molinari, Noren, Snedeker (been injured, plays this week), Harrington among them.
While these have two: Dustin, Fowler, Koepka, Day, Spieth, Horschel, Poulter, Kuchar, Hoffman, Scott, Donald, JB Holmes while Jon Rahm, Ogilvy, Bubba & Phil play their third this week.
~Qualify for the FedEx Play Offs.
~Get their 15 events in.
~Escape Mac's censure for double-dipping.
4).Meanwhile, Patton Kizzire's hot streak continued with the play-off win in Honolulu when all but James Hahn of the leaders stumbled over the final few Waialae holes leaving Kizzire & Hahn to contest the Play Off.
Russell Knox was never quite going to win but ruined the chances of a Top 3 by (effectively) bogeying 3 of the last 4 holes. Still, 2 x Top Tens is a decent start for him.
5).News from North of the Border concerns Graham DeLaet who has endured similar (don't ask me how similar) back issues and surgeries as Tiger Woods. He's now undergoing some stem cell treatment in an effort to find the remedy he needs to continue playing at a high level. The career of a wonderful ball-striker is looking in increasing jeopardy.
6).Hudson Swafford won last year's CareerBuilder, but this year's tournament looks wide open with Brian Harman and Kizzire hoping their good play works for another week. The European challenge is thin on the ground, Jon Rahm leading the way and Knox, Laird (decent record in the California desert) and Seamus Power the only GB&I pros competing.
7).Brian Harman was uncharacteristically (I would've thought) forthright last week about his disappointment at not making Stricker's Presidents Cup Team and his ambition to qualify for Furyk's Ryder Cup squad. One surprise was that he's played more tournaments than anyone else over the past 6+ years and he reckons he'll need to refine his schedule.
Wouldn't have figured him as the Tour's "Iron Man", but he's playing more consistently well than ever, up to #20 in the owgr charts and will be in all the Majors & WGC's. Something will have to give.
8).Whenever the season starts, I'm looking forward to the next four weeks, with Torrey Pines, Phoenix, Pebble Beach and Riviera to come.
The lack of an off season does pose a bit of a conundrum, especially for those playing in the play offs.
In order to get to the play offs it would make sense to play quite a few events in the 1st quarter of the season but then you commit to playing without any break in your schedule. The problem is magnified for those playing the R2D.
I suspect you might counter that some appearance fee hunting could be cut out but do we have much evidence of players getting much appearance money these days?
Whatever the case the likes of shane really need to reconsider just what the early season could offer them.
AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, played in week 48 of 2017.
Not sure if he is still a member of the EuroTour. He only played one un-co-sanctioned ET event last year. SuperSixes in Australia.
~If it's going to present a real problem for any particular player, he shouldn't try to play both Tours.
~If you're qualified for a limited PGA Tour field event, especially for those whose exemption might be at risk, for gawd's sake PLAY it! Shane!!
Don't think many Europeans have handled their commitments better than Molinari, but even for him every year will be a challenge, at least until he wins.
Which is no issue for Jon Rahm and he's out front building his career in California, -5 after 6 holes. He's good!
Most of the leading scores early in Round 1 are at La Quinta - where Hadwin had a 59 last year. Repeat this year?
Why is Rahm not in the UAE? Seems strange to be playing this funny event. The camera work looks terrible.
Ben, probably for some of the reasons mentioned above. With this being surprisingly far into the season rahm maybe thinks it is important to rack up some events.
He's already played a couple of events, and will play farmers open, so will miss dubai. Thought it would be good for him to play a big desert event.

Rahm defends his San Diego title next week - imagine that has something to do with it.
Poor camera work likely due to replacement workers standing in for union technicians. Probably get worse before it gets better.
Career Builder and Farmers have twice the purses of their EuroT counterparts. That a hour flight vs 24 hour flight is good reason to stay in Southern California for Rahm.
Yes, Rahmbo could have scored some extra guaranteed sugar by traveling.
Incidentally, LaGardere Sports Management Company runs the Careerbuilder tournament.
Jon Rahm (and Phil Mickelson) happen to be their clients.
Staying local(ish) in preparation for a title defence makes much more sense to me from a playing, recuperating and PR for the sponsors that paid him last year perspective. A tick in Rahm's "sensible" box for me. Shame for the ET perspective as he's already a pretty big name, but I still think a scheduling plus for a European player (Shane!!!).
If Rahm finishes in a two-way tie for 6th, or better, he'll move ahead of Spieth into owgr #2. But he's also played 39 tournaments in the past 24 months, San Diego will be number 40. So his tournament divisor (once it rises above 40) will slowly start to rise which will slow his rate of ascent - though if he keeps on racking up podium finishes it won't much matter.
Still no further news on the striking TV technicians . . . . . . .
Makes absolute sense for me that Rahm's playing California. He's not gonna lose playing rights on either tour unless he misses the minimum start number. And his season's aims after the majors will be to make both Tour Championships. The PGA Tour is stricter on start requirements, and East Lake is harder to get to than Dubai. So logic says play more in the US and less in Europe.
Ken Duke who asked for a Sponsors invite, and didn't get one will replace him for the Pro-Am portion of the tournament.
And Yes, Kwini, you are correct about Rahm with the increasing divisor albatross hanging around his neck.
Rahm oldest tournament on his 24 month resume is the 2016 US Open. Every tournament Rahm plays after San Diego is going to increase his divisor. He is basically going to have to Top 8 every tournament to not lose ground in the OWGR and Top 4 to significantly increase his average.
He has to play extremely well to gain ground on DJ, and very well to stay ahead of Spieth and Thomas. I think Spieth (and perhaps Thomas) will be back ahead of Rahm by the time the Tour leaves California.
Spieth is 201st in SG: Putting, BTW. He leads the tour in GIR %.
Neither Spieth nor Thomas playing in San Diego next week, but remember their points lost per week are currently at a higher rate than Thomas and, especially, Spieth whose pts are decrementing (is that a word?) almost double Rahm's rate.
Looks as if Harrington, Lowry, Molinari & Noren will tee it up next week, whilst Justin Rose is also "committed" - a bit of a surprise; perhaps he'll drop out now he's squeezed into the Abu Dhabi weekend action.
EDIT: All (Europeans) above now confirmed for the Farmer's fun in San Diego.
I think "depreciating" is applicable word. At least the one that I used.
And yes, Spieth is losing points at approx twice the rate of Rahm right now. But this is where a larger divisor is advantageous. Spieth is currently losing 0.164 pts per week in attrition. Rahm is losing 0.104 pts per week attrition.
and FWIW, Spieth is losing a tournament in his divisor in the next couple weeks.
One OWGR that I sometimes track is the ratio of Net Points to Gross Points.
For every player that plays between 20-26 tournaments per year, the long term trend ratio is 56.25%. If a player's ratio is higher than 56.25% his OWGR average is rich (over-stated), and if under 56.25%, his OWGR average is poor (under-stated).
If Rahm averages what he has been averaging for the last 19 months, his average will go down to 6.86. Thomas's average will go down to 6.95. Rory's will go up to 7.35. Spieth's avg will go down a little and Johnson's will go up a little.
Nice rounds from Knox (-8) and Power (-6) today, dismal from Laird (ev) who'll need something like a 64 on Saturday to make the cut.
Golf Channel reporting that Koepka will be out for at least 8 weeks as his wrist heals. Hopefully for him in time for Augusta.
Pity I mentioned Martin Laird's "decent record", quickly got to -4 on Thursday and seemed to pull the proverbial hamstring after that.
Knox slipped a bit yesterday but Seamus Power is right in this, Jon Rahm too of course.
Very big day for Power as he can improve his "reshuffle" status considerably with a top ten finish or better. Good luck to him. Power is in next week's field then, presumably a week off for Phoenix, Pebble, possibly miss Riviera then hopefully in a strong position to play Honda & Valspar, plus the DR.
The first tournament of the Champions Tour season concluded last night; Montgomerie clearly enjoyed his Christmas at the family trough.
But even carrying overweight he should have won, one-stroke lead over Jerry Kelly on the 18th tee but a bonehead club selection saw him hit driver into a fairway bunker and birdie vs bogey thereafter saw Kelly finish his fortnight in Hawaii in style - following his T14 at Sony last week.
Kwini's old favourite Lawrence Donegan has gone into meltdown mode on twitter over the success of No Laying Up. Quite entertaining.
I'm laying up on that one, Ned.
Don't look to be any fireworks in the first 2 or 3 hours of Round 4 at the Bob Hope (OK CareerBuilder), Jon Rahm & Seamus Power among those stuck in neutral as the leaders also seem to be stalled. Should be a back nine shoot out.
Looks like 25% of the likely European RC Team won this weekend.
Good week for Seamus but Knox has disappointed with a lousy (double bogey on 72nd hole) finish for the second week running.
I like Andrew Landry, secured his card and can't believe he won't win on Tour.

Got to start somewhere . . . . . sign of things to come, hopefully.
Julian Suri in this week's San Diego field, looking forward to seeing how he fares; Uihlein going well so far too.
Regardless of whatever inanities Zach Johnson and one or two others might come up with, it's difficult to doubt that the "European" (world) experience is not healthy for good golfers, from whatever nation they come.
IMO, its not World Experience that helped Americans Koepka (and perhaps Uihlein) become World Class Elite Golfers.
Its talent and hard work.
For every Koepka you can name, I can probably name numerous Americans that have played abroad and have yet to make it.
and Web-commers who have gone on to become (recent) Tour winners.
Yes, more than one way to skin a cat, but IMO, the common denominators are Talent and Hard Work.
If things stay the same, it's going to be a good one.
GPB wrote: IMO, its not World Experience that helped Americans Koepka (and perhaps Uihlein) become World Class Elite Golfers.
Talent and hard work is of course the most important part, but gaining experience of different courses around the world in different conditions with different players and different crowds can't do you any harm can it?
Denying that is a bit like saying Yanks don't need to travel because they've got it all at home. A tad insular, and I'm sure that top players like Koepka and Uihlein have gained a great deal personally from playing abroad so much that the likes of Grayson Murray and his like simply can't fathom, not least endearing themselves to foreign crowds. Better to be liked than not? Makes the game a bit easier.
Not much interest this year, think these notes have run their course.
Justin Thomas has done pretty well w/o playing much around the world.
As far as I can see, he has played one pro tournament that wasn't either a Webbie Tournament or a PGATour event. He played the Dunlop Phoenix a couple of year ago.
He has never played a EuroTour un-co-sanctioned event.
I think the difference is maybe in how quickly a player is ready for the global level. Like GPB says there are plenty of examples of American players who have started overseas and not kicked on, or have even drifted out of Europe or Asia altogether. And the traditional route hasn't done DJ, Spieth and JT any harm either. Those guys certainly turned pro more or less ready for the courses they'd grown up on, but perhaps needed a bit of time to adapt to playing golf overseas. You could argue the same works in reverse, looking at Rahm and Pieters who look equally at home on either tour, after coming through both European and college amateur systems. Then you have Hatton who didn't go stateside, and Fitzpatrick who dropped out, and both arguably have taken a bit longer to adapt themselves to playing on all styles of courses.
You beat me to the JT example GPB!
Not from my perspective. I have precious little knowledge of or comment to make on PGA tour golf so only rarely have much of value to add, but the notes remain just about the best thing I read weekly combining a knack for appealing writing, knowledge, opinion (and foibles!), humour, relevance and an almost unique slant on happenings. You ain't always right, but your notes are always interesting.
Pieters played horribly in the two PGATour events in Asia this past fall.
BTW...Rahm will become #1, if he wins Torrey Pines, assuming no key WDs that will hurt the SoF.
Yeah fair point. I was thinking more of how he seemed at ease straight away in US-based events. He was very much just the first name I thought of as a second example.
I read the notes with interest too. But the events so far aren't that interesting tbh.
I'd probably be as interested in watching the Sunday-Wednesday web.com events as the last couple of PGA tournaments.... shame no one seems to have Picked up the rights over here.
GolfChannel dot com will be live streaming the Webbie event, if that is available in your area.
GPB wrote: Justin Thomas has done pretty well w/o playing much around the world.
No one is saying you have to, people are saying it doesn't do you any harm to start your career out doing a bit of globetrotting.
Wonder who'll draw the Tiger straw in tee times for Rounds 1 & 2 of the Farmers?
They'll probably stick him with Thomas and Spieth.
If you scroll up, I think you see that I opined that there are multiple ways to skin a cat.
I can tell you that Woods will not be playing with Spieth and Thomas this week. Neither are in the field.
I know the comments can be a little slow at this time of year before the Majors and WGC's have started and we are not really out on the course ourselves but your notes are my main source of keeping up with the PGAT and I think this is true for others even if the post count is a little lower.
The solution might be to get the site administrators to drive some more traffic to the golf section so that more chat gets going. Could Navy or the other mods here maybe talk to the site admins about this?
Just please keep writing the notes even if you wait until some of the bigger events get going. And remember Tiger is about to come back again which is guaranteed to get the numbers up again.
Kwini, I don't say it enough, but I always appreciate your weekly previews.
And I always like the challenge to find a nitpicking error, which seldom happens.
kwinigolfer wrote: Wonder who'll draw the Tiger straw in tee times for Rounds 1 & 2 of the Farmers?
Patrick Reed & Charley Hoffman playing with Tiger Woods. Day playing w/Sneds & Rahm, the last three Champs there.
Happy to see Will Wilcox leading the web.com after 3 rounds. Two or three years ago he was one of the premier ballstrikers on Tour - he seems to fight demons, but reckons he's sorted out his putting. Hopefully he'll get back on Tour and strut his stuff once again.
Could those posters also active on other boards maybe do some PR for us there? Just to attract a few more over here.
Is he back to being Will again? He was Willy for a while. Always a sign of a certain lack of confidence if you can't even decide on your name.
Sorry to see Gonzo go backwards in round 3.
Still Willy, just prefer Will!
Gonzo has become inconsistent during his US experiment hasn't he? Can't seem to stitch 3 or 4 good rounds together - still, a 60-something on Wednesday would be good.
Confirmation from Suri that he has sponsor invites to Phoenix & Pebble Beach in addition to this week.
GPB wrote: Pieters played horribly in the two PGATour events in Asia this past fall.
Even if things go awry (i.e. he doesn't win), Jon Rahm will get another crack at Number One the following week in Phoenix, where he does have previous.
Then DJ has two weeks at Pebble & Riviera to set the world to rights.


For most of the past decade the Australian fishing industry has battled against an unseen enemy – and it hasn't been something lurking in the depths of the ocean.
According to FRDC communications manager Peter Horvat, consumer research in 2011 showed that the industry had an image problem that had the potential to threaten its future.
"We refer to it as the seafood paradox," Peter Horvat says.
"While there is a general perception that we need to consume more healthy forms of protein, such as fish, there has never been greater pressure to limit the amount of wild fish we catch.
The FRDC committed to a strategy that would better promote the science and best practice that underpins the industry. One key tactic was to run a media and communication training program for fishing industry leaders, to enable them to better manage popular opinion.
"As well as confirming that we needed to work more proactively on community perceptions of the seafood industry, the FRDC also saw the benefit of improved communications to extend the awareness of our investments in research," Peter Horvat says.
The FRDC employed FULLER, a communications agency, to deliver media training to industry people.
"This was a landmark project and the first time that media training was to be conducted for the whole industry, including fishers, government and researchers," Peter Horvat says.
The agency consulted with members of the industry and the media to better understand the day-to-day issues the industry was facing. This showed that the industry lacked a united voice, which led to unclear and inconsistent messaging.
"We found that because of the number of different spokespeople and the wide range of local issues, media relations had been reactive and ad hoc," FULLER managing director Peter Fuller says.
From this research FULLER developed a communication strategy that identified different messages and tactics to communicate with a range of audiences: researchers, government, seafood sector organisations, the media and the general public.
Through industry consultation, FULLER and the FRDC selected a broad range of potential training attendees, inviting researchers, scientists, fishers and executives – all with varying degrees of media experience – to participate in a national series of training workshops.
"By bringing together various groups, we were able to help build an understanding between diverse players in the industry and achieve a more united voice," Peter Horvat says.
A mix of industry leaders with varying media experience encouraged the industry to share its knowledge and help one another with ideas and techniques. A timely bonus was the release of the FRDC's Status of key Australian fish stocks reports on the eve of the workshops in November 2012. This provided the trainers with a unique opportunity to base the media training program on a real-life scenario.
"Working with a topic that was actually breaking in the media was very valuable for participants. It also helped the FRDC refine its own messaging about this initiative," Peter Horvat says.
The one-day training sessions were held in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. There was exceptional uptake, with every session at full capacity.
Training facilitators Ian Doyle (a former ABC Radio and TV presenter) and Ron Kandelaars (a Channel Nine News journalist) shared more than 30 years of media experience with participants, covering a broad range of communications topics.
These included developing key messages, preparing for and participating in radio, TV and press interviews, building relationships with media, telling positive stories, honing public presentation skills and understanding new trends such as social media.
Practical application of these skills in mock television interviews – complete with lights, camera and probing questions – put program participants to the test and provided an insight into the pressures of a media interview scenario. This experience was described by many participants as one of the most valuable aspects of the training.
"Being prepared with simple key messages and having the skills to handle difficult questions is the key to avoid being defensive with media," Peter Horvat says.
After the training, Shane Geary, the seafood operations manager at Coffs Harbour Fisherman's Co-op, was interviewed by ABC Radio and local television about the Status of key Australian fish stocks reports. Shane delivered his key messages successfully and the interviews were widely broadcast.
"Completing the FRDC communication training gave me additional confidence in reaching out to media with a story idea," Shane Geary says.
The FRDC Seafood Industry Communication Training Program was delivered to 50 industry representatives from across Australia, with 100 per cent agreeing that their understanding of professional communication had improved as a result.
Participant feedback reflected that 95 per cent felt more confident in dealing with the media and preparing for and managing an interview with a media representative.
"We were pleased with the industry's response to the training, with 98 per cent of attendees indicating that the sessions met their expectations and 99 per cent describing the trainers as knowledgeable and the training content relevant," Peter Horvat says.
The next phase of the project includes an extension program, with plans to extend resources to other industry members where possible. Peter Horvat says the value of the program is being evaluated, although fishers in Tasmania are keen to see a session run in their state.
"I would recommend that the FRDC continues to invest in this area as there are many people within our industry who will benefit from this real-life experience." – John Harrison, Chief Executive Officer, Western Rock Lobster Council Inc.

First Impression: OVER 25 YEARS after the original release of Warzard / Red Earth... an entire quarter century later... Capcom is finally releasing a localized console version! As a reminder, for nearly 2 decades, there was literally no way for fans outside of Japan to experience this game. (The timing is kind of ironic, since emulation has made the game playable online in recent times.) However, with Practice Mode and other new features, Capcom Fighting Collection will be the definitive way to experience the game.
For me, Red Earth is definitely the star of the show. However, paired with ALL 5 main installments to the Darkstalkers series, Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition, Cyberbots, Pocket Fighter (Super Gem Fighter), and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo with Rollback online modes for all 10 games... Capcom Fighting Collection is a very attractive compilation!
Worth mentioning, Pocket Fighter and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo feature a variety of Red Earth characters and cameos, so it's a very fitting compilation. "Yeah, that makes sense!" For the first ever home version of Red Earth and the Gallery mode alone, it's worth a buy from me!

Nipsey Hussle murder suspect arrested; Lauren London breaks silence
Updated on: April 3, 2019 / 3:00 PM / CBS News
Suspect arrested in Nipsey Hussle murder 00:54
Los Angeles police have arrested the suspected killer of rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was gunned down outside his clothing store on Sunday. Police said that 29-year-old Eric Holder was taken into custody after a witness spotted him in Bellflower, about 20 miles from the shooting scene.
Police said they believe the shooting stemmed from a personal dispute between Holder and the 33-year-old rapper.
Eric Holder, 29, of Los Angeles, was taken into police custody Tuesday.
Police described a dispute between Holder and Hussle of a "personal nature" and said Holder appeared in front of Hussle's clothing store more than once before shooting him.
The LAPD chief said Holder is a member of a gang.
LAPD Commissioner Steve Soboroff read a letter Hussle wrote to the LAPD prior to his death. Soboroff said a planned meeting between the department, members of Hussle's family and his label Roc Nation will continue as scheduled.
The rapper planned to meet with officials to discuss ways to fight gang violence in the city.
Witness tip led police to murder suspect
Police said a witness called police after they spotted someone who appeared to be Holder in Bellflower, California. Deputies responded and arrested the man.
Holder was transported to a Los Angeles Police Department facility and will be booked for murder.
"I've lost my best friend": Lauren London breaks silence
Lauren London, Hussle's longtime girlfriend, broke her silence in an Instagram post Tuesday.
"I am completely lost. I've lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul. I'm lost without you. We are lost without you babe. I have no words," London said.
The two began dating in 2013. Three years later, London gave birth to their son, Kross Asghedom.
I am completely lost I've lost my best friend My sanctuary My protector My soul.... I'm lost without you We are lost without you babe I have no words
LAPD thanks community following arrest
Following Holder's arrest, police thanked the community on Twitter for the "heightened awareness" and "vigilance." During a press conference earlier in the day, LAPD Chief Michael R. Moore asked for the public's help in arresting Holder.

LAPD chief discusses Nipsey Hussle shooting suspect
The LAPD chief also confirmed Holder was believed to be a member of a gang.
He added that police believe Hussle's murder did not appear to be gang related. Moore did not identify the gang by name, saying it was "not appropriate for a law enforcement official to do."
LAPD on gun violence
During the press conference, Los Angeles police officials spoke about ways they are seeking to address gun violence.
The Los Angeles Police Department said they will be establish an office of violence prevention to tackle gun violence and help with support for the families of victims of homicide.
"The issue of gun violence cannot be minimized," a spokesperson for the department said.
During the press conference, Soboroff read a letter Hussle wrote to the LAPD prior to his death. Soboroff said a planned meeting involving the LAPD, Hussle's label Roc Nation and members of Hussle's family will continue as scheduled. The rapper planned to meet with Los Angeles Police Department officials to discuss ways to fight gang violence in the city.
"The meeting will happen," Soboroff said. "I want to help what he wanted to do."
Nipsey Hussle's lyrics quoted at press conference
Los Angeles City Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson spoke at the press conference and quoted the rapper's lyrics in his address to the press.
"One of Nipsey's most well known songs says: 'Bullets don't have names, and as long as they're flying, all of us are in danger.'" Harris-Dawson said. "Nipsey is an example of any life lost is a life too many."
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti on "tough few days" for city
L.A. mayor on Nipsey Hussle murder case 10:07
"This has been a tough few days for Los Angeles," Mayor Eric Garcetti said at the news conference. "Nipsey Hussle was an artist who touched our city and the lives far beyond the City of Angels and this world."
Garcetti called Hussle "a tireless advocate of the people of this city and this world" and said, "His impact on our city was deep." Garcetti addressed gang violence, as well, in his remarks, and said even though homicide rates are down 17 percent in Los Angeles in the last year, there have been 11 homicides across the city in the past week alone.
Nipsey Hussle was shot in front of his Los Angeles store
Hussle, the Grammy-nominated rapper whose real name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was shot to death in front of Marathon Clothing, the South Los Angeles store he founded in 2017. Two other men were hit in the shooting but their wounds weren't considered life-threatening.
An autopsy performed Monday determined Hussle was shot in the head and torso, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
The Grammy-nominated rapper was remembered not just for his music but for his deep community involvement and activism.

"Mass panic and chaos" at Nipsey Hussle vigil
Panic erupts at Nipsey Hussle vigil 02:50
Several people were injured Monday night when some 300 who had gathered outside Hussle's clothing store to pay their respects to the slain rapper suddenly stampeded from the area, authorities said. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department, Meghan Aguilar, told reporters there was "mass panic and chaos." There was no initial word on what set it off.
CBS Los Angeles reports the peaceful vigil turned chaotic around 8:10 p.m. when people scattered across the packed parking lot.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said 19 people were taken to hospitals, at least two in critical condition. One was hit by a vehicle, the other a deep puncture wound. Most of those hurt had what the department called "trample injuries" that were "sustained when the crowd rushed out."
Community leaders and fans remember Nipsey Hussle
Community leaders and fans led an outpouring of support for Hussle. African-American leaders in Los Angeles had demanded the suspect in the killing to turn himself in and surrender to police. Hussle's devastated fans came to the crime scene Monday to leave tokens of support and remembrance.
Basketball stars LeBron James and Russell Westbrook each tweeted messages of grief following the news that Hussle had passed away.

We are sorry to report that Hugh Taylor died January 24, 2017 in Mexico. Here is his obituary.
Hugh was a good guy. I only attended WG my senior year. He was very welcoming to me. Funny too. I'm sure this is one of the passings that has hit the group harder than others.


So You Think You Can Tumbl?
There is sufficient scientific evidence to suggest that having a presence on Tumblr will one day count for as much as a primordial cave drawing or an ancient love letter found floating inside a champagne bottle. Admittedly, the platform's popularity makes it intimidating to many people; if we could get a quarter for every time somebody asked us how to become Tumblr-famous, we would be neighbors with David Karp in Williamsburg. But we are nothing if not generous, so instead of hoarding all the soft-focus pictures of cats and beautiful women for our own reblogging purposes, here are a few tips on how to win followers and get your fifteen seconds of fame.
2. Find a clever byline. Your byline is what differentiates you from everyone else. Try to be perky and positive in a self-deprecating and ironic way. This is an easy way to promote yourself but also seem like you'd be really approachable and funny at a party which is important if you plan on attending Tumblr meetups. For example, instead of writing, "Rachel Jones is a writer living in Los Angeles", you should probably say, "Rachel Jones is a tea-guzzling, Warby Parker-wearing, Tina Fey-admiring nerd" because that will make you sound cool and edgy but also like everyone else.
3. Write in the second person. On Tumblr, "you" is another word for "I". Even though your therapist keeps telling you that you really ought to start owning your failures, narrating your life story in the second person is the surest way to elicit empathy from your readers. Not only does this allow you to distance yourself from the reality that you ate an entire pizza and watched Netflix for fifteen hours straight on a pile of dirty laundry, but you will be able to trap your readers into thinking that they have done the same. Now you'll be able to enumerate the details of your interminable brunches without guilt, because obviously everybody has a weakness for reading about other people eating giant pancakes!
4. Have a cat or a mysterious love interest. It can be hard to discern how much you want to share about your love life on Tumblr. If you're the sort of person who wants to bare all, we suggest you get a cat. You'll be able to feel genuine affection for this animal, exploit it as necessary for photographs, and talk about it without worrying that it will feel upset about how much of your relationship has been publicly discussed. (See also: small children). If you must discuss your human companion, stick to talking about being in bed together or visiting popular, preferably urban destinations. Happy couples on Tumblr generally don't own cats. If you are in a happy relationship, you should consider getting a dog, but if you do, you shouldn't blog about it. People prefer to read about unhappy relationships.
- This. Placed carefully under a picture of an aesthetic apartment, outfit, celebrity, or well-worded rant, this term indicates your approval of what you are reblogging and communicates that if you had more time, motivation, money or intelligence, you would buy it, photograph it, or — you guessed it — eat it.
- GPOY. Floating somewhere above this phrase is a picture of a blogger, posted gratuitously, although he or she is generally not familiar with both meanings of the term "gratuitous". Use this tag or phrase as a caption for selfies you take, generally on or around your bed, wearing headphones.
- #Feelings. Often posted as a tag, this term hints at the overall embarrassment, yet secret pleasure, the blogger might feel for having written a long-winded, emotional post about very personal things. Try to reserve this tag for posts that deal with death, complicated relationships with parents, your love for your city, etc.
- "All the..." True to the spirit of the age, Tumblr-ites are rabid consumers. In posts where you reference how much of something you'd like or would not like, try to use the phrase "all the" to express the intensity of your desire. For example, instead of posting, "I would like donuts", you should write, "I would like all the donuts", implying that your need for all the donuts outweighs your consideration that all the other people might also want donuts, that if you were given the opportunity you would clean out all the donut houses in all the world for your hungry little tummy.
- #NYFW. Even if you are not or have never been interested in visiting New York City, you should consider posting something about New York Fashion Week. It is an intensely popular, discussed, and overrated event that takes place in NYC two times a year, so it is virtually impossible to escape blogger coverage of it. Consider tagging any fashion posts with this term so that you'll get more hits, even if it's only your outfit of the day that comes directly from H&M or Target.
- Le. Le sigh. Le pout. Le frozen pizza. French is truly a fetishized language on Tumblr, and nobody cares if you're actually using the word correctly or not. Tack it in front of a noun and you'll immediately sound more sophisticated or cutesy. Boys who look and act like Mr. Darcy will write you long-winded emails about your sharp mind and your incomparable looks and fall at your feet drooling in spasms of glee. At least, you can imagine that this is actually what's happening behind the enigmatic "[username] liked your post".
6. Date another Tumblr user. Although its inhabitants tend to keep this under wraps, Tumblrville is prime real estate for snagging a hottie. If you spark a blogger romance with someone, keep the details on the DL (see #4), but remember that having a long distance relationship, especially one that originated on the Internet, is perfect fodder for #feelings posts. Weave a virtual love story worthy of any tabloid! When you have kids, don't forget to include pictures of them almost as soon as they emerge from the womb. It is crucial that their internet presence begin from day one; this will contribute to their popularity later on and they will be so thankful for your help.
7. Make the most of your ask-box. The questions and comments you receive in your ask box will be either your refuge or the bane of your existence, depending on how many vocal internet trolls follow your blog. Make sure to be as volatile as possible in your answers to both praise and criticism, since everybody on Tumblr loves drama. For example, instead of ignoring hate mail from an Anonymous asker, you could answer with inflammatory criticism of your own. Include plenty of references to Satan, the patriarchy, complaints about how you can never just be left alone, and veiled references to how much ice cream you will have to eat to make up for this in your answer. If you receive a genuine compliment, assume a humble stance and make a joke about how self-promoting your blog is becoming.
8. Invest in your persona. When you wake up in the morning, one of your first thoughts should be: how can my life contribute to my blog today? Spend a few minutes planning out your day in "bloggable" increments. Ask yourself whether or not the outings, people, or items you have on your calendar will look good on your blog. Sure, you may want a hamburger for lunch, but sushi is more photogenic. Do you really want to wear those sweatpants? Okay, but take care when applying your makeup so that your selfie will look good. The more you spend time cultivating your persona, the more content you will generate, and the more followers you will acquire. You should be posting 3-4 times an hour, if not more. For lulls, keep a few photos of cats, outfits, quotes, songs, or rants stashed in your queue. You can always schedule them to post regularly while you're on vacay.
9. Post when you can't sleep. Forget counting sheep. If you're having trouble catching the Sandman, log in to Tumblr and share your deep late night thoughts. "I couldn't sleep," you should begin, "so I was just thinking..." Talk about your deepest fears. Practice letting it all go. Post it privately if you don't feel comfortable sharing it with others. Better yet, forget editing it at all and put it up for all to see in the morning. Everyone will admire your emotional courage; they'll know that the grammatical faux pas and the spelling errors are evidence of your turmoil. If you are a perfect speller even when you're tired, throw in a few "it's" when they should be "its". Tumblr users love that.
10. Reblog. Reblog. Reblog. You should be reblogging people a lot, especially if the content falls into one of the EWBP categories. It is always best to reblog a post that somebody spent a lot of time writing and give your opinion on what they said, especially if it is a negative opinion. We would highly advise against calling somebody a name but you should logically, grammatically, and aesthetically pwn the other person. This is a great way to fire up some healthy rivalry and gain new followers. Plus, fights on the Internet always turn out better because they never resort to actual blows and you can keep all of your resentment inside of your soul or in anonymous ask box comments.
11. Become a "hate read". If all else fails, strive to become an object of unaffected scorn.

thanks , all oic. are nice and famous.


I was just taking a break from writing a blog post on thankfulness (for Thanksgiving. What a notion) to read this. XD Perfect timing. Glad to hear that you're focusing on loving everything (and that candle sounds LIKE HEAVEN. I think I need to buy it ASAP).
Yes! *high five* I can't wait to read it! :) I'm trying my best to be positive and thankful for sure. I want to make it a habit, something I do automatically. Also, the candle is GLORIOUS. You will love it!!
LIFE IS INSANELY WONDERFUL! I've been so thankful for life lately, I'm not sure why, it's just so beautiful. <3 Thank you for this post to remind us of the gorgeousness all around us!
I love that! Getting into a groove of thankfulness makes every morning that much more beautiful. :) Thank you so much for your sweet comment! Have an awesome rest of your weekend!
I've been super moody too, lately. Sometimes negative thought patterns can be hard to break but reading Colossians passages about thankfulness can help. I need to do more of that!
Super cute pictures! This is so, so true. There's always that moment when you're upset or ungrateful, when you realize....wow, God is pretty amazing. What am I worried about?
Thank you!! :) I love that moment. God blows my mind with His unconditional love!
I needed this. <3 Thank you. ALSO; I HAVE BEEN OBSESSING OVER A CANDLE AS WELL AND IT IS TOTALLY APPROPRIATE AND JUSTIFIABLE.
also this was a very cute post I love it.
Aw thank you so much! :) You are the bomb, too! It's not always easy to love life but I am definitely trying to give thanks more and appreciate the little moments.
I NEED THAT CANDLE IN MY LIFE! Gosh, I absolutely love all your posts. :) It's so hard to NOT compare yourself to others and sometimes we get caught up in doing just that. Thank you for this!! It was a super great reminder, especially with Thanksgiving coming right up.
Thank you so much! You're so sweet!!
ps. your family has AMAZING hair, wow!!!
I so needed this reminder! We are truly nothing without Christ and it's so easy to be upset and ungrateful about things...and sometimes for justified reasons. But He is so good and faithful to give us so many blessings that we don't deserve. It's so awesome that you've been able to beat the negative slump and it is amazing how much better life is when we focus on what truly matters in life. The holidays are always a huge reminder to me of how grateful I am for my family...seriously, they are the best!
I hope you've had a lovely Thanksgiving! :) I wish we had one in Poland.
It was radical! Aw, well you can still give thanks! :) Thanks for commenting, Mary!!


Sky Trader is a game about everyone's favorite steampunk fantasy mode of transportation, airships. More precisely, Sky Trader is an Adventure/RPG game that focuses on airship trade, exploration, and combat. We even plan on throwing in a dash of crafting and construction!
In Sky Trader, you will start your career as the captain and owner of a small, humble airship. To earn an income, you will have to trade goods and transport passengers from port to port, harvest goods from key locations, and take on missions. After some time, you will have enough gold to upgrade your ship's hardware and hire officers. Later, you will have the opportunity to acquire larger and more powerful airships, with vast cargo holds and impressive weapons.
The path ahead will not be without danger, of course. Sky pirates ply the airways, seeking out easy prey. Even worse, strange creatures inhabit the highest mountaintops and deepest fog-shrouded canyons. You will not be defenseless against these perils, mind you! Your ship will have room for many different types of weapons, ranging from simple cannons to more esoteric options like flamethrowers!
Ultimately, you will establish trade routes, explore the world and unlock its mysteries. If you are careful, you might even survive!
Stay tuned for more Sky Trader news as development continues.

Human Beings And Their Economic Services. Part 3
2 In 1910 there were nearly 2,000,000 children of the age-group between ten and fifteen years reported as engaged in gainful occupations in the United States, most of them in agriculture. Two-thirds of the total number were boys, those occupied being one-fourth of all boys of that age-group. In the South, however (comprising the three southern geographical divisions in the census), nearly half the boys of that age-group were in gainful occupations, while in the North only one-eighth were.
§ 7. Comparative strength of men and women. A difference in the physical strength of the sexes is found in some degree throughout the world, but it would appear to be far more marked in civilized than in savage communities. The records made at the field-games in the women's colleges are improving; but still fall far short of the men's records in any leading college: in the hundred-yard dash, thirteen seconds as against nine and a fraction; in the high jump, fifty-two inches as against six feet and over. The muscular force of American college women as tested in various gymnasiums (average of all students in college) is little more than one third that of men. The average strength of back for women is 35 per cent that of men, the average strength of legs, 41 per cent, and the average strength of right forearm, 38 per cent. This is an abnormal difference. The natural and possible strength is more nearly attained by men than by women under our social conditions. Women escape the physical toil which strengthens, but not the mental strain which kills. Men carry more of the wood, but the women not less of the worries. A fairer test is applied among peasants in field-work in France and Germany, where the strength of women is found to be about two thirds that of men. American women should do and will do more to attain their natural strength as we attain sounder ideas of education and saner modes of living. § 8. Differences in natural intelligence. Mental qualities are not easily distinguishable from physical qualities, if in the physical are included keenness of eye, quickness of nerve, and even superior judgment of materials, tools, methods, etc. Moreover, mental ability is a very complex idea. It may refer to one of the many different qualities of mind, to quickness of observation, talent for color, form, harmony, to memory or imagination, to readiness in speech, to systematic habits of thought, to power of intense and prolonged mental application, to mathematical power in various directions, to philosophical capacity, that is, a capacity to discover the more far-reaching causes of things. These qualities unite in unending combinations to produce that kaleidoscopic variety of personality which makes the world so interesting. Some men the world calls geniuses have lacked some of these qualities almost entirely. Others who in most respects are either feeble-minded or insane (called idiot savants) have shown an uncanny talent in music, or in mathematics, the very subject which is the stumbling block for many otherwise bright minds.
By this set of psychological tests the children testing "at age" or but one year above or below (accounted normal), were 77.3 per cent, of the total (of whom 35.8 per cent tested at age). Those testing two to four years above age (supernormal) were 4.2 per cent of the total. Those testing two to seven years below age (subnormal) were 18.5 per cent of the total. Some children testing subnormal are simply slow of development and, as they mature, become normal and sometimes supernormal. But on the other hand, many of the younger children testing almost normal will develop very little mentally, and at fifteen will be several years below age. This in part explains the failure of so many children to attain grades above the fourth, as shown in Figure 29, below.
Fig. 28. Binet Test in an Elementary School.
Each of these natural mental traits has its peculiar part in fitting the man for some kind of work, and the absence or weakness of any one of them increases the difficulty of qualifying as an efficient worker in some occupations. Native intelligence shortens the time needed for preparation in any calling, hastens new methods, decreases the cost of supervision, saves materials, tools, and time, diminishes loss from breakage, makes possible the use of finer machinery and better appliances, and imparts those subtler qualities that distinguish the best from the mediocre products. It is impossible to measure these factors of native ability exactly, tho the psychological tests recently devised are giving remarkable results. But in every school children in all their activities show marked differences in traits, which, we all believe, are inherited in certain families. Mental capacity of the higher order develops more slowly and longer than do the physical powers and the senses. Judgment and wisdom are the fruits only of a life rich in experience.
§ 9. Talent and training as factors of efficiency. It is impossible to measure exactly the parts that natural talent and acquired ability play in determining any person's efficiency. Two men sitting side by side in an examination, get the same grade; one of them has had excellent preparation from childhood, and all the opportunities that money, travel, and cultured associates can give; the other, under great difficulties, has prepared in a country district school with a little coaching now and then, and struggling against great odds, has at last entered college. The same grade does not mean either that in their natural ability or in their training in this particular subject, they are equal. Yet the grade is the best expression to be had of their efficiency in the particular work.
One person with great natural musical ability may have lacked alike good opportunities of study and the health and industry to gain skill by long practice; while another with less natural ability but more favored in health and in education will attain to a much greater success both artistically and economically as composer, performer, or director of music.
Similarly the net economic quality of an artizan, an engineer, a lawyer, a business man, a worker of any kind, is a resultant of education and native talent, which along a broad zone are interchangeable, each in some degree indispensable, each supplementing the other. Any ability may be helped by education in the broad and true sense, tho a fool cannot be made wise by training, and tho many a potential genius doubtless has been dwarfed in dusty schoolrooms by stupid teachers. Education increases adaptability and enables a trained mind to outstrip an untrained mind of greater natural power. Education makes direction easier, fits for higher tasks, and decreases the difficulty of cooperation.
By education in this connection should be understood not merely knowledge gained in schoolrooms and by the aid of books and teachers, but every sort of experience and activity of mind and body which helps the natural capacities of the man to grow and strengthen. The subjective conditions, the eager mind and the strong character, most often bred of necessity and deprivation, are more valuable equipments for life's work than is unheeded or half-comprehended schoolroom instruction. Hence the business man's usual skepticism of the practical benefits of "higher education" in the more limited sense as applied to pampered youth with indolent minds.
§ 10. The moral qualities required in industry. The moral qualities of the worker are increasingly important as society grows more complex. But the need of a particular moral quality is relative to the special task in hand. Honesty is needed in the bank teller, but he need not spoil a good story. The champion bronco-buster of Arizona is not a Sunday-school superintendent. So, discipline, obedience, self-control, regularity, and punctuality are needed, for more and more in these days business is run by the watch. Confidence, patience, good temper, in fact all the virtues in the calendar are necessary at some time and place, and most of them are needed all the time in business. Places may be found in our developed society for those who are deficient in some of these qualities (it is fortunate that it is so), but these are the poorer places. Many men fail to recognize all the qualities necessary for success, and few are able to understand the cause of their own failures. Blind to their own faults, many are, for lack perhaps of one trait which to themselves seems insignificant, dropped down one notch after another in the scale of industry, and equally blind to the true cause of success in their rivals, they rail against the unjust fates.
§ 11. Necessary combination of qualities. Skill and capacity in industrial tasks is a resultant of many qualities. The simplest task calls for a combination of physical force and of judgment - even the digging of a ditch or the fitting of a stovepipe. For most industrial tasks rarer combinations of qualities are required. The retail salesman must be neat, punctual, polite, and long suffering. A confidential clerk must have discretion, judgment, and other moral qualities in an unusual combination. The substitution of qualities is possible within limits; a rare quality may make amends for the lack of a commoner one, and a man may, because of peculiar fitness in some regards, continue to hold a position for which in other ways he is little fitted. The rarest and most valued worker is one uniting many good qualities and fitted to deal with emergencies. The economic efficiency of the worker often is no stronger than its weakest link. A most frequent use for training is found in the fact that strengthening some one weak quality may raise the total efficiency in a remarkable degree.
§12. Inequality of talents shown by biologic studies. The political philosophy of the eighteenth century was based on the idea of natural rights and natural equality. Even so shrewd an observer as Adam Smith, misled by the prevailing view, discussed wages on the assumption that all men had equal natural ability. It is still a favorite assumption of radical social reformers that the natural ability of all men is equal, and that all the differences in success result from political injustice. The study of biology of late has made patent the unending differences that prevail throughout the animate world. No two members of the same family or species are just alike; no two pigeons have wings of just the same length. Nature by numberless devices is experimenting constantly with variations on either side of the established mean. The accepted fact of biologic evolution rests on the foundation of inequality, in structure and powers, selected, adapted and transmitted by heredity. In all life there is inequality, and the whole drama of human history as well as that of biologic evolution must be meaningless or illusory to one who does not see this truth. Accustomed now to this point of view, we as inevitably think of the natural inequalities in men as did Adam Smith of their equality. Inequality of talents is a continuing fact. Men in all their qualities of mind and body display this kaleidoscopic variety.
This does not mean that industrial inequality as it exists to-day, the great disparity of incomes, correctly or justly reflects the degree of difference in men's qualities, either native or acquired. It does not follow that a thousand-dollar income represents ten times the ability of a hundred-dollar one - far from it. But to those who ignore the inequality of men, the whole problem of industrial remuneration must remain a mystery. The differences in human capacity, in respect to the rendering of services of value, is one of the fundamental factors entering into the determination of labor-incomes.

There is no excuse for you to not start growing your own food. Even an apartment dweller or yachty can enjoy fresh nutritious sprouts without the use of land or soil.
While we travelled in our campervan for 6 months we always had a jar of sprouts on the go – alfalfa, broccoli, mung beans, lentils… and all we needed was a fresh water supply for rinsing. This is ideal for at the office, whilst travelling in a campervan or a boat, hiking and camping.
They are extremely economical with a couple of tablespoons of seeds resulting in a couple of cups of sprouts!
Make sure you have preferably organic seeds that are specifically for sprouting and eating. Seeds for planting in soil are often coated in a pesticide and fertiliser. Also make sure that the seeds haven't been heat treated as some countries require it upon entry. This will kill or reduce the viability of the seed to sprout.
In your sprouting jar, soak a small handful of seeds for between 4 hours (for small seeds like Alfalfa) and overnight (for larger seeds like Lentils) in fresh pure water. Add enough water to allow for the seeds to expand to twice their dry size and still remain covered.
After soaking, add the flyscreen/mesh 'lid' secured on by a rubber band. Make sure you drain out as much of the water as possible.
Put in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat, keeping it upside down and on an angle so any excess water can drain out and fresh air can get in.
Rinse the seeds daily, 2-3 times, with fresh pure water (under a high pressure tap if possible) and be sure to drain out as much of the water as possible. If you know you won't be around to rinse your sprouts keep them in your fridge and rinse them when you can.
When the sprouts are an inch long they are ready for eating. Some seed will not develop green leaves (eg mung beans) but seeds like Alfalfa will. When they get their first pair of leaves put them in indirect light for the chlorophyll to develop in the sprout thereby increasing the nutrition for you!
Preferably get rid of the seed husk by immersing in water so the empty husk floats so you can scrape them off.
Drain all of the water out and store in a sealed (but breathable) container in the fridge. Rinsing every few days, and draining well will prolong their life. They will last up to a week in your fridge.
Other methods of sprouting include using a colander (for larger seeds), and even pantyhose is effective!
Great video of how exactly to complete the whole process. I am keen to try this as I'm about to move about our sailboat and won't be able to have much of a garden (but I will attempt some pot plants). I looooove alfalfa sprouts but find they can often be expensive to buy so this is a great alternative!
I love this idea.. but I didn't have cheesecloth or a screen so I used the little bag thing that garlic comes it, and it worked great for my alfalfa seeds! Extra bonus for reusing garbage.
nice idea Sarah! Also old (clean) stockings work too!
Thank You for sharing this! I love it! I knew that there was a much more ethical way of sprouting than buying little plastic trays! This video has made my day!
Why buy new materials when you can reduce waste and re-use materials that make a perfectly effective sprouter I say 🙂 The time lapse shows the true nature of sprouts- they are ALIVE!
Can you sprout chia seeds? If so, how long should you soak them for?
Hi Chantel, I have read you can sprout chia seeds and they are delish, but it requires a different method to jar sprouting as the seeds are 'slimy' when wet and shouldn't be soaked in a jar of water. So rather than soak, try putting them on a moist paper towel on a tray and just misting/spraying with water to keep moist until they sprout. Today I ate some mung bean sprouts from may jar sprouter and I didn't soak them long enough as some were still hard. Mung beans need longer than some of the smaller seeds like alfalfa and chia.
This video shows how EASY growing you own sprouts really is! I loved watching the seeds actually growing in the jar over a few days.
