On June 6th & 7th, 2016 digital managers from all over Europe met at the Digital Leadership Forum hosted by the expert network Advatera, as it has been our annually conference since 2013. It was another productive and successful event, where practicing experts were able to share their knowledge and experiences as well as make new contacts.
The workshop with Tania Tasheva on the topic of establishing a digital culture at Heineken kicked off the Digital Leadership Conference. In her position as change and communication manager Tania focuses on structural and digital change in the organization. Her workshop explained why people are such a critical factor during change. New work processes always bring the end of established processes, and persuasive responses to the question "Why change?" are critical in determining the success or failure of such change.
Videos shot by drones allow for cost reduction when producing visual content. Professional videos, such as this example from the tourism industry require an investment of only a few thousand Euros due to technical innovation and change.
Live videos to publish on channels like Facebook or YouTube can be produced more cost efficiently as well. They create a lot of attention and are an excellent opportunity for creating emotional connections.
During the second part of the workshop Reinhard discussed the opportunities of virtual assistants (knowledge navigators) like Siri or Google Now, which are rapidly gaining importance in making (commercial) content discoverable online. His examples illustrated the clean outline of content for these services and their effect on the discoverability of contents on the Web.
When do employees care about the intranet?
Cary Rueda, communication expert of the British oil and gas company Petrofac, devoted his workshop to the motivation of employees to use internal digital communication channels.
His motto for digital communication in organizations is "Your child will follow your example, not your advice". Employees will only use and accept the intranet if those responsible for technology and digital change act as role models. Employees are more likely to stop attaching documents and enter them in the digital collaboration platform instead, if those in charge of technology do it as well.
In addition, participants in his workshops created a campaign on how to motivate employees to use digital communication. The basis for this assignment was a global organization in a dire economic state with the added challenge of having to integrate two different cultures. The intranet is well equipped technologically and content wise, but was only used sparsely by employees during the first year. Four groups endeavored to determine how acceptance of the intranet could be measured and improved on a sustainable basis. Of course, there was a price for the best campaign.
Lean management and agility modelsGerhard Wehe investigated the validity of lean management and agility models.Many organizations work with agencies or with their internal IT department using modern management methods, such as SCRUM or lean management. Initial euphoria has been replaced by reality, however: changing the project management style is not a solution for all problems. Providers often claim to practice agile project management, for example, but the implementation of projects uses different classic processes – a step back into the traditional waterfall model.Organizations also report a high testing expense when using agile methods. Byers used to test only during final acceptance. Today, testing of interim results is shifted to applications or from IT to the specialized department, which often lacks organization or personnel – not to mention quality management or the establishment of a professional testing department.
Digital asset managementPeter Hofer discussed digital asset management at his table. Organizations have to decide how to best store media (pictures, videos, texts,..), so that they are available worldwide for download and further use – including automated information regarding media rights and possibly even automated interfaces to different channels. As an example, pictures are not only posted on the internet, but also used in press releases or product catalogues.Technological systems by themselves are not an appropriate solution, unless organizational change occurs at the same time. These systems can only bring competitive advantage if they are actively used, which requires work in the areas of strategy and motivation.
Newsroom concepts for digitally positioned organizationsRichard Howard's round table discussed newsroom concepts as the basis for all organizational communication.Unlike classic communication models, the newsroom does not aim to develop specific content for different channels of communication, but to identify topics that are relevant for the entire organization as well as business partners, customers, and the general public. Newsrooms make it possible for integrated stories to be developed and distributed through different channels. They bring different departments to one table and thereby structure the communication culture as well as the knowledge management in an organization by bundling resources and making them transparent.Newsrooms are an appropriate efficiency tool for not only general organizational communication, but also for agile project management. When implementing newsroom concepts, regular face-to-face meetings and digital communication go hand in hand.
The purpose, and therefore the value, of change has to be obvious to each employee (which, by the way, very well matches Azfarul Islam's approach "Train the why, not the how").
Trust is a very important value in digital change. Julia reinforced this fact with several studies, which showed that teams with a higher level of trust also perform better. She demonstrated the level of trust to the audience in a live example: Each participant asked their neighbor three questions about their childhood, with the third one being rather personal. By answering those three questions the audience could experience the trust level live.
The third level of change is creativity. Julia provided a live example here as well – this time participants were to draw their neighbor. This is an easy task for children, as they simply use their creativity. Adults often lose their trust in their own creativity, however. It is therefore important to foster employee creativity and therefore motivation in workshops. Creative people are usually more likely to be open for change!
Cornelia Erschen of Roche Diagnostics discussed the importance of complete and seamless communication for the success of change. One of the most common problems during change processes is that employees have a lot less information than management at the time when decisions are made. The purpose of and reasons for change are therefore not always clear to employees, and there is no motivation to actively participate.It is the job of internal communication experts to fill any information gaps between management and employees during change processes. It is critical to communicate not only at the beginning and the conclusion of change projects, but also during difficult phases throughout the process.
Eva-Maria Himmelbauer, a member of the Austrian parliament, spoke about the importance of an appropriate framework – provided through legislation, among others – to ensure successful digital change. Further initiatives regarding topics such as cyber security, broadband availability, and data security are needed, especially on a European level.
Adriaan Bloem of MBC demonstrated that the traditional sales funnel is "old school" and largely outdated. Successful organizations have to start considering the loyalty loop instead, because retaining customers and motivating them to make another purchase is always more cost effective than finding new customers.
Kate Kahle of CERN took a closer look at the effects of social contents. Large pictures have a huge impact on the number of likes, comments, shares, clicks, and even on time spent on the site. Videos, on the other hand, have less impact on likes and comments, but more on time spent and retention rate. Discussions lead to a large number of comments, but participants rarely keep clicking. The retention rate is lower in discussions than with pictures or videos as well, according to analyses done by CERN.
As always, the Digital Leadership Forum was accompanied by events in order to provide participants an intense Vienna experience. This year's Vienna tour focused on Jugendstil. Our event was held right across form the "Secession" – the exhibition hall formed by artists around 1900 for the purpose of advancing Jugendstil and Art Deco. The artists realized as well that they could achieve more together than as lone warriors – the digital world refers to collaboration for the same reason.
The first day of the Digital Leadership Forum 2016 pleasantly ended with a get-together in the Museumsquartier on a beautiful summer evening. The conference day concluded on the patio of the Novomatic Forum.
We are already excited about the next Digital Leadership Forum – see you in Vienna on May 15th & 16th, 2017!

Taxpayers in the US will have three more months to file their federal tax returns after Tax Day was pushed back to July amid the coronavirus pandemic, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced Friday.
The deadline to file taxes is being moved from April 15 to July 15, Mnuchin said on Twitter. There will be no interest or penalties for returns filed during this additional time.
Steven Mnuchin @stevenmnuchin1
At @realDonaldTrump's direction, we are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15. All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.
02:04 PM - 20 Mar 2020
"I encourage all taxpayers who may have tax refunds to file now to get your money," Mnuchin said.
The new deadline applies only to federal tax income payments. Several states have already extended their own tax filing deadlines to different dates.
The Trump administration's announcement comes as the US economy is reeling from the impact of the pandemic. Coronavirus-related layoffs have caused a huge spike in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the US.

We first encountered Gundlach Bundschu, or GunBun as many call it, in 2011, when we were producing our Vivo in Vino music and wine series. Our intimate little NYC series was starting to get some attention, and many people started telling us about a winery out in California that also loved pairing music with wine, Gundlach Bundschu.
GunBun's connection to music comes from its owner Jeff; you see, not only does Jeff make killer wine, but he also has incredible taste in music. The winery is so passionate about the pairing of music and wine that they even built a music venue right on the vineyard property. Though we've never attended a show, we've been told it's one of the best places to see a concert, period.
We can't prove this scientifically, but we've always felt that there's a deep connection between people who create beauty, such as wine and music. Jeff seems to know this as well, which is why music is a huge part of GunBun. Also, his awesome taste in music just makes us love his wine that much more. Think Grizzly Bear, Phantogram, etc.
But enough about GunBun and their music tastes, these guys also make absolutely incredible wine. They're the oldest family owned winery in California, and they know what they're doing. Their Estate Vineyard Mountain Cuvee is a terrific, highly drinkable blend of almost every red grape you know – it contains Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Malbec – and it can be found for only around $20.
On top of it all, GunBun is committed to supporting independent musicians, which makes us love them even more. They're a great winery to have on your radar.

Shunned by society and even by her own family after the treachery of her late husband, Isabelle de Renarde has long given up any thought of love or remarriage. But desperate loneliness drives her to make an assignation at the Hart Inn – which is where, inevitably, everything changes.
For the Hart is in turmoil once more, captured by a small group of French raiders led by the wildly reckless Captain Armand le Noir – who always succeeds in the end. Dazzled by Isabelle's beauty, Armand regards her at first much like the task in hand – a distraction from his own pain. But the Hart seems to work its magic and inconvenient attraction gets in the way of both unwise assignation and the search for lost prisoners of war.
With the raiders only partially foiled, the adventure sweeps from the inn to a neighborhood ball and then to France itself.
Amidst the constant danger and the intensity of their growing love, Isabelle and Armand live on the edge of betraying each other or their own loyalties.
But someone is manipulating them, the true enemy is unclear, and in the end they must both risk everything to be together.

Mary Hamilton is no stranger to scandal. As the former Laird of Drum's lover, she has been on the receiving end of many dark stares. But when he died in battle, leaving her alone and carrying his unborn child, darkness was all she had left. A woman cannot raise a child alone without scorn, but she would prefer to face the judgment of others than marry to save her reputation.
The need for an advantageous marriage is a burden that Sir William Keith, Laird of Dunnottar and Marischal of Scotland, is all too familiar with. If only every prospective bride did not make him wish to jump off the cliffs surrounding his castle. When an invitation arrives to celebrate the Yule with his Sister at Drum Castle, William is eager to accept and escape the constant reminder of his plight… until the reason for his invitation becomes as apparent as the contempt Mary holds for him.
She needs a husband and a father for her child. He needs a wife and an heir. But a marriage of convenience has never felt less convenient as they seem to fight more than they breathe. However, despite William's resolve to keep his distance, there is a spark in the darkness that surrounds the lass, one that draws him in- like a moth to a flame. But, just like a fire burning out of control, the heat between them may only burn them both in the end.

ELLIOT LEE | "WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE CAPABLE OF AND WE KNOW HOW FAR WE CAN GO"
ELLIOT LEE ON THE WIN OVER NOTTS COUNTY
Here's what Town striker Elliot Lee had to say after the 2-0 win over Notts County, in which he netted the second goal.
Harry Rogers
@Harryy_rogers
Town striker Elliot Lee is hoping that the hard work the squad has put in throughout pre-season and his versatility will help spur the Hatters on to another successful campaign after last season's promotion from Sky Bet League Two.
A goal and an assist from the forward in Saturday's victory against Notts County has the 23-year-old confident that the squad are more than capable of dealing with life back in League One.
Lee's attacking flair caused County problems on the day – the opening goal came about when he ran at the Magpies' defence before setting up Jorge Grant who finished nicely.
The second came from a Sheehan corner, when Lee managed to bundle the ball over the line in a goal mouth scramble. It may not have been as delightful as his older brother's effort against Cambridge last season, but they all count.
He said: "Pre-season has been tough. But I've been pleased with where I am fitness wise and it's great to grab an assist and a goal. We've put in a good performance against Notts County and we're all really proud of it so bring on next week at Portsmouth.
"We're setting our standards high. We're not setting a goal for instance, but we know what we're capable of and we know how far we can go. We're just going to keep pushing every game, train hard and hopefully keep getting those wins."
The forward has been transformed over the course of last season from a striker to an attacking midfielder, which has only demonstrated his adaptability. He doesn't mind where he plays though, as he believes he can be a threat from any position.
He said: "It's nice to be at the top of the diamond. Obviously, I finished there last season and you're much more involved in the game. I still see myself as a striker, but I know I can play in the number 10 role and I know I can play on the left so it's just another string to my bow, and at the moment I am really enjoying it."
This season will also see a bit of a change for the former West Ham United man, who begins the new campaign without his older brother Olly playing alongside him. The forward only wants to see his brother do well though, who completed his move to Hearts in the Scottish Premier League earlier on in the summer.
He added: "It's a massive shame to see Olly move on, I loved playing with my brother and he loved playing with me so it's a massive shame to see him go.
"But sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do in football, but I wish him nothing but success at Hearts in his new adventure and I'm sure he'll smash it up there. I know how good a player he is and I'm sure he will do very well there this season."

The Reluctant Shopper is built primarily on fine comedic writing. It is premised on the blackmail of big savers into spending in the local economy. Local Business Council executive Katrina obliges the smooth-talking Barry to blackmail a thrifty young man, Sam, into spending in the local shops something of the million dollars in his bank account. Sam, of course, has no wish to spend, and the stage is set for a series of hilarious turns.
Of course, the play's comedy sugarcoats a soberer reality: that of the near-ubiquitous occupation in positions of power by manipulators and deceivers devoid of conscience and compassion. Even Barry's late humanitarian change of heart falls prey to the sociopathic corporate culture, in a conclusion that rings a note less of comic consistency than of inexplicable reversal and tragedy, both Barry's and society's.
Well-cast and -costumed, with a simple stage design and obviously intentionally basic musical soundtrack, the play moves along at a cracking pace from start to finish. The plot is simple enough, but the comedy is carried largely by the interactions between the blackmailed and the blackmailer. The performances of Rob de Fries, as Barry (the blackmailer), and of Brendan Kelly, as Sam (the victim), were particularly convincing.

(Canadian OH&S News) — Restaurants, a doctor's office and other businesses and residences in a commercial neighbourhood of Belleville, Ont. were evacuated on the late afternoon of July 25, after construction equipment hit an underground gas pipe in the area. But things returned to normal after the gas leak was repaired and deemed accidental.
The incident occurred at a construction site on Front Street in the city's downtown core at about 5 p.m., according to Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Greatrix of the Belleville Fire Department.
Union Gas, the natural-gas supplier that owns the pipeline, was also called to the scene to shut off the power in the area. The company then repaired the damaged line and tested it, before checking all of the buildings in the area for dangerous gas buildup, Greatrix added.
Service to about 120 Union Gas customers was interrupted before technicians finished fixing the pipeline at around 9 p.m., said Andrea Stass, the company's manager of media relations.
Afterwards, Union Gas began going door-to-door to relight appliances in the buildings. By the following evening, the company still had not gained access to about 40 buildings, according to Stass.
"So we leave behind our contact information, and they call us to set an appointment when it's convenient," she said.
Neither the police, the fire department nor occupational health and safety authorities are investigating the leak at this time, due to its accidental nature.
A similar incident occurred in Belleville last October, when equipment made contact with a gas line and caused a leak at a construction site on Moira Street. "In that incident, a gas line was hit, and it did ignite, resulting in the loss of a building," explained Greatrix.
The site supervisor involved in the previous incident has since been charged with two counts under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The day after the more recent leak, an update on the City of Belleville website informed residents that full power had been restored to the area and that Union Gas representatives were in the process of reactivating appliances in businesses and residences.
"A big leak, but I think we took on the right steps to protect the people within the area and to prevent the gas leak from igniting," said Greatrix.

Mexico Finding Its Place In Offshore Landscape
The massive Zama project is leading recent shallow-water discoveries.

With one of the world's largest recent oil discoveries and geology similar to the prolific Gulf of Mexico (GoM), offshore Mexico has the potential to be one of the world's next great offshore fields, potentially producing more than 1 MMbbl/d by 2040, according to the International Energy Agency.
But recent shifts in the country's energy policies under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador have the potential to put the brakes on the progress Mexico initiated with its 2014 energy reforms. The energy reforms opened up foreign investment in the country's oil and gas industry for the first time in nearly 90 years. In February of this year, López Obrador froze new joint venture contracts with national oil company (NOC) Pemex. Although Pemex reported that contracts in place would continue to be honored, CEO Octavio Romero Oropeza said the energy company would instead focus on developing oilfield services contracts rather than farm-out deals.
Despite the regulatory unrest, Mexico still could emerge as a major offshore player with many shallow-water projects being fast-tracked for production by 2025. Hokchi is an oil and gas field in 30 m (98 ft) of water located in Area 2. The field has potential reserves of 147,800 boe and 1.2 Tcm (45.4 Tcf) of natural gas and is being operated by Hokchi Energy. Located in Area 4, the Ichalkil-Pokoch Field is being operated by Fieldwood Energy and has reserves of 450 MMbbl of light crude. Production is expected to peak at 110,000 bbl/d and 4.1 MMcm/d (145 MMcf/d) of natural gas by 2026 to 2027.
According to Wood Mackenzie, fields coming onstream as part of Mexico's energy reform will contribute up to one-third of the country's production by 2025.
In August 2018, Eni announced that Mexico's National Hydrocarbons Commission had approved the development plan for the discoveries at Amoca, Miztòn and Tecoalli, located in Area 1. According to Eni, Area 1 is estimated to hold 2.1 Bbbl of oil in place and full-field production will start in late 2020 utilizing an FPSO with treatment capacity of 90,000 bbl/d. Two additional platforms will be installed on the Amoca Field and one in the Tecoalli Field.
"Fast-forwarding four years from now, these projects should start to make a significant impact on Mexico's production outlooks," said Maria Cortez, Latin America upstream senior research manager at Wood Mackenzie. "Because they are being fast-tracked, they are privately funded, and they aren't affected by the politics or issues that Pemex faces. Because of the current environment, there is an incentive to show results. Not all projects are going to be able to do that, but these early ones are really positioned to show that."
The most substantial recent project that is key to Mexico's offshore development is Zama in the Sureste Basin. The Zama Field was discovered in 2017 by the Zama-1 well, which was drilled to a depth of 3,383 m (11,100 ft) and encountered an oil interval of 338 m (1,110 ft). When the field was discovered, Wood Mackenzie reported that it was one of the 10 largest shallow-water fields to be discovered in the past 20 years.
According to operator Talos Energy, Zama holds reserves of between 1.4 Bboe and 2 Bboe. Talos Energy holds 35% as the operator, while Sierra Oil and Gas holds 40% and Premier Oil holds 25%. "One of our motivations is to progress Zama to first oil as quickly as possible," said Tim Davies, group exploration manager for Premier Oil.
Talos President and CEO Timothy Duncan has stated the company hopes to achieve first oil by the second half of 2022. Talos announced in January that the Zama-2 appraisal well, the first of three appraisal wells drilled by the consortium, was drilled 28 days ahead of schedule and reached the top of the Zama discovery and encountered 177 m (581 ft) of gross true vertical depth oil pay.
During Talo's fourth-quarter 2018 investor call, Duncan said the company will move to the Zama-3 location next and repeat coring operations. "The appraisal program should be completed by mid-year, at which point the resource range will be narrowed when we get closer to an FID [final investment decision] and book these reserves and prove them probable," he said.
The Zama Field is planned to be developed with three production platforms, each of which will comprise a single jacket and topsides and will support 100,000 bbl/d of production.
Infrastructure challenges
With only about 50 wells drilled offshore Mexico to this point, Cortez explained how the region is essentially a blank slate from which to develop, particularly compared to the GoM, where infrastructure and technology is well-established.
"Infrastructure is probably going to be one of the most complex parts of all projects because in many areas there isn't any, or where there is infrastructure, it has historically been held by the NOC," Cortez said. "We've seen some really unique solutions to infrastructure. For example, there is a shallow-water project that's operating in 30 meters [98 feet] of water that will be using an FPSO. But infrastructure takes time, and getting all the right upgrades can get very complex."
In some cases, Cortez added, companies are building pipelines to shore to move product. Deepwater projects would likely require more collaboration between operators, she said. For the Zama project, oil will be transported via pipeline to the Dos Bascos onshore terminal, located about 70 km (43 miles) away. According to Pemex, the NOC signed contracts in January that include the development of 172 km (107 miles) of offshore pipelines.
Production rebound
This year Pemex has stated its primary goal for its E&P operations will be to stabilize production. Since 2006, when it produced about 3.2 MMbbl/d, production has steadily declined, down to 1.7 MMbbl/d so far this year. According to a study of Mexico's oil and gas industry conducted by the Energy Policy Research Foundation Inc. (EPRINC), the oil sector's direct contribution to Mexico's GDP peaked at 10% in 1996-1997. Since then, that contribution has steadily declined to about 5%, according to EPRINC.
Not only has production declined, so have its reserves, a result of low levels of investment, EPRINC reported. According to its study, Mexico's oil reserves peaked in the early 1980s with about 50 Bbbl. That amount has declined to less than 10 Bbbl.
However, Mexico's regulatory policies have provided the opportunity for both onshore and offshore to be authorized much more rapidly. Pemex estimates that by 2024, daily crude production will ramp back up to nearly 3 MMbbl/d by 2024. And while recent shallow-water developments are likely to help turn declining production numbers around for the country, the real potential lies in its deepwater prospects.
"Mexico is rich with opportunity in its deep waters," Cortez said. "This is also where numerous explorers will focus to meet contract commitments. Our yet-to-find estimates suggest that new deepwater exploration in the Perdido area could start to add meaningful production by the middle of the next decade. This could grow to half a million barrels of oil per day by the early 2030s. But gas infrastructure and project delivery could change that time line."

Book Review – Junkie Wife
Junkie Wife
by Alexis Rhone Fancher
by Julianne Carew
From the collection's dedication page, which ominously states, "No names were changed. No one was innocent," to its last line, Junkie Wife, written by Alexis Rhone Fancher, tactfully illustrates the affects addiction has on an individual, as well as the relationships it inadvertently creates.
In "Flirting with Death—A Love Poem," Fancher begins with the phrase, "In love with the rush. Not the high," which establishes a stark, matter-of-fact approach to a life lived on the fringes of society. By using colloquial language laced with blunt, in-your-face imagery, Fancher successfully portrays a set of multifaceted characters that, for the most part, remain anonymous. The one to whom we can only assume is the "junkie wife," is never directly named, nor is the child prostitute, or the Armenian drug dealer, or the lovers on the beach. Vicki, the main character's former best friend whose "blood [later] splattered the bone white walls like a Pollack," and Dr. Tim, who tells the main character she "looks like a million bucks," even as she fingers a razor blade in her pocket, serve as intrusions to the main character's drug-induced haze, and remind readers of the blurred reality in which she is living.
Nowhere in Junkie Wife is there an excess of words. Each line is intentional, and takes the reader on a fast-paced downward spiral of self-destruction. Perhaps one of the most symbolic pieces of poetry is "Divorce Court Barbie (Ken Drives Away With All My Things)." In this piece, the main character essentially summarizes the exploits of her marriage, using tongue-in-cheek descriptions for herself such as "Bad Luck Barbie" and "The one Ken swears he wouldn't love if I were the last Girl on Earth Barbie." By comparing Mattel's iconic Barbie with the bleak realities of her character's shattered life, Fancher makes a statement about the unrealistic narratives women are taught as children, as well as makes reference to her characters inability to ignore these stereotypes with which she compares herself.
Junkie Wife is as addicting as it is honest. Fancher's minimalistic style and slice-of-life formatting leave readers wanting more, her words a drug, in and of themselves.

Interview: Siobhan Hebron for Post-Trama (Art Exhibit)
Interview with Siobhan Hebron for Post-Trauma, Art Exhibit for Keck Medicine
by Julianne Carew, Fiction Editor
I first heard Siobhan Hebron read her work at a compilation reading of artists with chronic illness. The reading was as eclectic as it was moving, but what I immediately noticed about Siobhan was her in-your-face attitude about illness and the language that surrounds it.
Her short essay, "Hair," was not about the devastation of losing what most women consider their crowning glory, but instead, about the many other aspects that make living with a chronic illness a reality. Aspects like uncertainty, and the resiliency of the human spirit in the face of it, and the way even devastating news can be turned into art.
At twenty-seven, clad with black leather boots, and a fashion sense that could only be described as effortless, Siobhan Hebron is not your typical cancer patient. She's a modern-day Gloria Steinem of illness whose mission is to shed new light on the subject, and revolutionize the way we discuss chronic disease.
I sat down to speak with her at the USC Keck Center, where her latest show, Post-Trauma, is currently being exhibited.
Can you tell me a little bit about your diagnosis?
I went to the urgent care and I told them that I had been in excruciating pain for four days. The first urgent care didn't take me seriously. They gave me a prescription for Norco, and told me to come back in twenty-four hours if I wasn't feeling better.
I decided that wasn't going to do it, so I went to another urgent care, and they agreed with me that something was wrong. They told me I could have a blood clot, or a brain tumor, but it was very unlikely. They decided to look into it and perform an MRI.
What do you think the difference was between the first urgent care, that didn't take you seriously, and the second one, that did?
It's going to sound really funny, but the first urgent care was a male doctor and the second one was a female doctor. The second one was also, specifically, a head and neck urgent care. I went to them and told them, you know, look, this is what they did for me yesterday and I'm not better. I need help. I'm in too much pain. But that was my first set of concrete circumstances of male versus female pain and treatment management. I think a lot of times, doctor's prejudices are subliminal. They don't realize that they treat a man or a woman differently. It's not because they want to be mean. It's an unconscious thing.
Once you were diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, what happened next?
The doctor's wanted me to do chemotherapy. But when I was trying to decide what kind of treatment plan to go with, they were also saying that I needed to decide, being a young adult, whether fertility was an issue for me. They told me that in the next couple of days I needed to decide if I'd like to freeze my eggs, and if I did, they'd need to start on that right now.
What did you decide?
I did not do it, for several reasons. Children have never been something that I wanted, neither before, during, or after cancer. But what I took real issue with was the fact that they were essentially saying, "You need to make this decision right now, so that we can move forward."
At the time, I was thinking to myself, okay, first of all, I'm trying to make one major decision right now, which is whether to pursue treatment for cancer. You can't ask me to make another giant life decision on top of that. Also, this is a much different decision than if I were a man. If I were a man, this would be an inexpensive, non-invasive treatment. As a woman, it's extremely expensive, it's invasive, it's potentially dangerous. It was that implicit bias that they didn't take into account for me as the patient.
As a patient, and as someone who has been heavily involved in the healthcare system, what do you recommend could be done to bring awareness to medical misogyny, especially since you mentioned it is mostly subliminal?
I think visibility is critical. When we're still not in a place to where people are comfortable with talking about illness in an everyday conversation, the burden is on the sick person to educate the healthy people. I think that's why I'm so cognizant of, and so specific in my language about it, and why I make art, and why I write about it, and why I think it's so important to be open, and have a really open dialogue about things like that.
What does the word cancer mean to you?
Is it really crazy if I say it means life? I mean, it is my life now. I just went to a wedding this weekend, and I met a whole bunch of new people, and everyone's asking you, oh, what do you do? What do you do? What do you do? And that's such a hard conversation for me to have. Right now, I do cancer. That's what I do. This was especially true a year, or two years ago, when I was smack dab in the middle of treatment. And even though I'm not actively in it right now, it is still so present in my life, in every way, shape, or form.
How did being diagnosed with cancer effect your life?
It threw everything up in the air. Before, I went to UCLA. I double majored in art and art history. I graduated in four years. I did the whole thing, and I was fully on track to pursue art history, not art. I was not going to pursue a studio practice, at all. So I was looking into graduate programs for art history. I was looking to go the Ph.D. route. I didn't know fully what I was going to do, but that's what I was looking at. I knew I was going to take at least two years off in between, just after talking with professors and everyone, so that's kind of where I was. I was in those years off, when this just came out of nowhere.
It really did stop everything. It didn't change anything biologically or physiologically about me, that would make it impossible for me to still pursue that. I still absolutely could get my Ph.D., but it transformed everything so utterly and completely, and pretty immediately I decided, no, I'm not doing that. I don't want to do that anymore.
How did the uncertainty of cancer effect your art?
I think the uncertainty, in the beginning, affected the medium the most. In the beginning, right after I was diagnosed, I started making stuff mainly in video and performance. When I was in school, I stayed away from that at all costs. Before my diagnosis my art was very object-based, painting, sculpting, drawing. I wanted to make things.
Once I was creating stuff based on my diagnosis, and thinking about my body and a lot more about this uncertainty and where I was, I didn't want to make anything so permanent. I didn't want to make anything that someone could hold in his or her hands, or that could be put on a wall. My art became something that had to be experienced in real time and space. For someone to be a witness to my art they had to be there at that time, in that place, and witness what my body was doing.
Were you insured at the time of your diagnosis?
Yes. When I was diagnosed I was twenty-four, and this was in 2014, right after Obamacare was originally passed. So under Obamacare I was still insured under my parents. And knowing me, having never have been sick, if Obamacare had not been passed, I would have thought, ugh, I'm too young. I don't need insurance right now. I probably just wouldn't have done it. So it really, truly, saved my life
What do you have to say about what's going on in healthcare now?
It's appalling, and terrifying, and will murder millions of people. It's inhumane. On election night, healthcare's the only thing I thought about. I kept thinking to myself, "I'm dead."
Who do you think will be most effected?
I think the poor will be effected. I think all minorities will be affected. The disabled will be effected, the chronically ill will be effected. The elderly will be effected. Pretty much everyone who is not a rich, white, healthy straight male will be affected. Pretty much everyone who is not the spitting image of a congressman will be affected.
What do you think we should do from here? As an artist, and a patient, and someone who this effects directly, what would you like to see to make people aware?
The calls, the emails, the protests, the things like that. Making art is my outlet for it. But I think anyone who is dealing with issues like this, if they're comfortable with it, and if they're in a safe place to do so, I think it is really important to be visible.
It's so misunderstood, what it takes to live with an illness on a daily basis, and to make that visible to others. Obviously, if you don't live with it everyday, you'll never understand it fully. But if you can make people see deeper into that situation, and have more empathy for it, it can only be better for everyone.
People only believe you can either be alive and well, or sick and dying. But people have a real issue with being alive and sick. I think the more people talk about it, and are visible, and see people being alive and sick, and see that we are viable human beings, the more beneficial it will be. Yeah, we're alive, and we're sick, and we're going to continue to be alive if you'll let us.
Do you think there's anything the government can do to redeem itself with regards to healthcare? What would you like to see happen?
In a perfect world they could get rid of the American Healthcare Act, and work towards bettering the current system. Because it is working, it is good. It's not perfect, but, it is the most effective healthcare system this country has ever had. Instead of tearing it down and starting from scratch, let's start from where we're at. It's not perfect, but it's good. So let's focus on making it better.
Where does your health stand now?
My health is currently stable. The tumor continues to be stable. I am doing MRIs every twelve weeks. I go in for the scans and then I meet with my neuro-oncologist right after, and he goes over it. It's so funny that I'm a visual artist and the only way to monitor my tumor is through visual means.
Artistically, what do you see yourself working on in the future?
I still have a great desire to do some kind of durational performance, potentially, over years, where it's some kind of using up of the body, over time. Truly, my body feels like an art object now because of what's happened to it, and it also somehow feels like so much has been done to it. Oddly, I feel closer to it, and somehow, more distant from it. It feels almost like it did in the beginning, like my body is some potential object to be used up for art.

Capacity: 604 CD's or 278 DVD's or 228 VHS.
Our DVD rack with glass doors is one of the most popular sizes we make. This 6 foot tall cabinet ships with enough shelves to completely fill it with CD's. You'll have left over shelves if you fill it with DVD's, but that's fine by us. We want you to have plenty of shelves!
We use 3/4 cabinet grade plywood from Oregon to entirely build this DVD rack. They bond the plywood with soybean glue so there's no formaldehyde. And by using a 1/8 plywood back we ensure the quality of the build with no particleboard used.
The DVD rack can be enclosed with tempered glass doors with polished edges either clear or light gray tint. We do our best to hand match the pair of panels sent to you.
All our dvd racks with glass doors ship with stabilizing feet that screw to the underside of the bottom. You are welcome to leave them off if you plan to wall mount through the back panel or use steel right angle brackets to attach to the wall.
The satin topcoat is an ultra violet light cured urethane lacquer. By using light to cure there is no need for solvents so this finish process enjoys a complete endorsement from the EPA. The end result is a formidably robust finish that only requires a light dusting for care.
This is a real wood product that will give you many years of service. When you find the DVD rack with glass doors filling up, order another! That's what many, many of our customers have done over the years. And we will be here for you. deciBel Designs has been making sawdust since 1982 and we've been making this DVD rack with glass doors since 1992.
This us the third item I have ordered. There will be a fourth soon.

Make Your Point > Archived Issues > FACETIOUS
When you're joking, joshing, jesting, punning, kidding around, being j__ose, being j__ular: you're being facetious.
"FACETIOUS"
In Latin, facetiae are jokes or witticisms, and that's where we got the word "facetious."
Someone or something facetious is joking, often in a light, witty, pleasant way, OR in an edgy or inappropriate way.
fuh SEE shuss
Adjective:
"he's facetious," "these facetious remarks."
Facetiously, facetiousness.
"Facetiae" (said "fuh SEE she ee") are funny or witty sayings or writings.
This word is just a bit more formal than synonyms like "waggish," "playful," and "humorous." Some people use it to describe humor that's inappropriate for the situation, but facetiousness is often very welcome.
Talk about facetious people and personalities, facetious comments and questions, facetious articles and shows, facetious moods and attitudes, etc.
And--fun fact--if you have trouble with the spelling, just remember to include all five vowels in alphabetical order: facetious.
"The Onion" is full of facetious news stories, like "Ohio State Begins Scouting For Next Scandal"--and "Ate the Onion" is the subreddit that pokes fun at Internet commenters who mistook facetious news for the real thing.
"On Jacob's first day in the code-enforcement office, the commander, Maj. Cerelyn J. Davis, wandered by and asked if he was her new inspector. 'Yes, ma'am, I am,' he answered, 'and I am so ready to help you with these bad houses.' It made her laugh that he did not sound the least bit facetious."
— Kevin Sack, New York Times Magazine, 4 December 2013
Explain the meaning of "facetious" without saying "droll" or "tongue-in-cheek."
Fill in the blanks: "(King or Queen) of the facetious (song, interview, news update, fake commercial, etc.), (someone) _____."
Example: "King of the facetious interview, Zach Galifianakis trades awkward insults with celebrities."
Our game is "TV Tropes!"
This month, we're playing with tropes from TVTropes.org. TV tropes are storytelling devices, which can come from any source of fiction—TV, movies, books, you name it. They're the archetypes, the story patterns, the plot devices, the cheap tricks, the situational clichés that we see over and over throughout fiction.
Examples of TV tropes include "Skyward Scream," "Banister Slide," "Caught on the Jumbotron," "Burp of Finality," "City People Eat Sushi," "Dance Party Ending," "Clean Pretty Childbirth," "Come Back to Bed, Honey," "Even the Subtitler is Stumped," and tens of thousands more.
Naming a trope can be a straightforward business, as in the "Skyward Scream." But often it demands precision, inviting the use of humorously sophisticated terms. Enter our Make Your Point words.
In each issue this month, consider the name of a TV trope, and try to define it or even give an example from a TV show or other work of fiction.
In fiction, what is the trope known as Costume Inertia?
It's when some character continues wearing his distinctive costume even though it no longer makes sense for him to do so. For example, in Doctor Who, Tegan wears her flight attendant uniform in episode after episode, despite not actually returning to her work with an airline.
Try this today:
In fiction, what is the trope known as Cute But Cacophonic?
1. The opposite of FACETIOUS is
A. STUPID.
B. SERIOUS.
C. STUPEFIED.
2. The show's fictitious movie studio is the facetiously named _____.
A. Studio
B. MGM Studios
C. Tantamount Studios

Jazz students interested in this program should contact MSM's Jazz Office prior to submitting an application.
I knew it would be my last opportunity to experience life in a drastically different environment with relatively minimal effect on my personal and professional life in New York, so I took it.
Why did you choose the institution you chose?
I had heard really great things about Elisabeth Zeuthen, a violin professor at DKDM, and two of my friends had recommended the institution and city.
What is a unique learning experience you encountered abroad that you wouldn't have had at MSM?
I loved the baroque ensemble I had the opportunity to be in, it was incredible! We also had a performance of Mahler 3 (possibly my favorite!) with members of the Copenhagen Philharmonic as our stand partners, which was really beautiful.
How was it to have a different private teacher?
I got really lucky, it was amazing. Her style was quite different from that of my teacher at MSM but we formed a strong bond immediately – we still keep in touch!
What were some unexpected challenges while abroad?
It's hard to be so far away from the people who know you best. I found myself most missing the kind of good friend you feel comfortable sitting in silence with.
What external/cultural opportunities were you able to take advantage of while abroad? Copenhagen is central in Europe, so it was really easy (and inexpensive!) to take short trips all over. I visited a friend of mine doing an exchange at Sibelius in Finland, my family in Moscow, and took trips to Berlin and Paris. Not to mention the friends from all over that came to visit me there.
How was finding housing? Obtaining a work visa?
Again, I got really lucky with housing. The student who came from DKDM to MSM let me sublet his room and my roommate became a really good friend to me. Obtaining a work visa was really easy, it came with the paperwork I was directed to fill out upon arrival in Denmark.
How has your time abroad affected your life/career path?
It taught me that anything can happen, good or bad, so you might as well enjoy life while working for your goals. Really! I don't mean to be cheesy.
What would you tell/advise MSM students interested in the Foreign Exchange Program?
I highly recommend it. There's no better time to pick up and go on an adventure than now.
With proper planning, going on exchange will not slow down your progress towards graduation.
Open to current sophomores applying to study abroad for the first semester or both semesters of their junior year.
Open to current first-year graduate students applying to study abroad for only the first semester of their second year.
NO extra cost in tuition/fees. You pay MSM and receive financial aid as usual.
You may return a hard copy of the application to the Office of the Provost or email a PDF to chirsch@msmnyc.edu.
Will I need to renew my TOEFL if I study abroad and then return to MSM?
Will I get actual grades from my exchange school? Will the grades be factored into my MSM GPA?
You will be evaluated in all of your courses abroad, and each course/school is different in terms of grading with numbers, letters, pass/fail, etc.
NO, your grades received abroad will not be factored into your MSM GPA. On your transcript, the semester(s) you spend abroad will show up with grades of "T" for "transfer".
Are there any visa limitations or general limitations for international students to go on exchange?
Yes, you can always go on exchange, but be sure to speak with Michael Lockhart to be sure all of your paperwork is in order.
Are there opportunities to apply for scholarships abroad to help pay for housing and other expenses abroad?
Typically not through MSM or through our partner schools, except in Stuttgart.
If the student at the partner school that I am exchanging with ends up dropping out at the last minute, will my acceptance to study at that partner school be rescinded?
Is there an official test to prove my proficiency in German for Stuttgart?
No, but some German is good.
Am I allowed to study at a partner school for just the Spring semester?
Yes if we can work that out with the partner school.
Are students in the graduate OP and CPP programs allowed to go on exchange considering the abundance of specific requirements for their programs?
If this is your case, please be in contact with Caroline Hirsch (chirsch@msmnyc.edu) to set up an appointment with Provost Joyce Griggs.
If I am selected as an exchange student, will I be required to attend?
It is preferred that you be fully committed to attend upon submission of your Partner School specific application. However, you will not be obligated to go if you are selected.
Is it too late for me to go on exchange for the Spring 2019 semester?
It is not likely, but if this is your case, please be in contact with Caroline Hirsch (chirsch@msmnyc.edu) to set up an appointment with Provost Joyce Griggs.

800 Super
10 Feb 2022 Updated 15 Aug 2022
When garbage becomes useful again: How Singapore family business has maximised the value of waste
800 Super adopts holistic approach as it diversifies from trash collection to sludge treatment and animal feed processing
First published on The Straits Times on 10 February 2022.
Under CEO William Lee's leadership, 800 Super clinched a 10-year deal for waste collection and transportation worth US$46 million in Phnom Penh. Photo credit: KOH MINGGUANG
A year after announcing its first international contract, home-grown environmental solutions company 800 Super is buzzing with confidence. "Now we are more aggressive to go overseas," says CEO William Lee.
The US$46 million 10-year contract for waste collection and transportation in one of the three zones in Phnom Penh City, Cambodia, is progressing "quite smoothly" since July 2021 after an initial delay in the delivery of the equipment, he adds.
This is not 800 Super's first experience abroad. In 2017, the company opened its plastic recycling plant in Batam, Indonesia, but shuttered it after three years, citing administrative and regulatory challenges.
Its experience in Batam made it appreciate the assistance of Enterprise Singapore (ESG) as it worked towards beating some 20 other bidders for the Phnom Penh contract, says Mr Lee.
For one, ESG has been an advocate for 800 Super overseas. The agency, whose remit includes helping Singapore companies internationalise, had worked with its subsidiary Infrastructure Asia and the National Environment Agency (NEA) to share with Cambodian authorities Singapore's solid waste management experience.
ESG has also helped the firm widen its network abroad. In Cambodia, ESG and Infrastructure Asia had introduced 800 Super to potential business partners, leading to the firm's eventual partnership with GAEA Waste Management for the Phnom Penh contract.

Now that it has its feet well under the table, 800 Super believes it stands a good chance to do more in Cambodia, and in the region, than just provide solid waste collection and transportation services.
Its range of solutions and deepening expertise in sustainability point the way.
The business of waste
800 Super started in 1986 as a traditional waste collector but quickly expanded to offer cleaning and conservancy as well as horticultural services.
It now provides services that sit along most of its industry's value chain: waste-to-energy, waste-to-resources, recycling, and sludge treatment.

The year 2019 was a milestone one for the company. Firstly, it delisted from the Singapore Exchange's Catalist board and Mr Lee's family took back control of the company with the help of private equity firm KKR.
Mr Lee says 800 Super learned a lot from being a publicly listed company. "For eight years, our revenue and the whole business improved, partly because we had more talent coming in, so we had stronger and bigger teams." The company's revenue rose from $88.7 million in the financial year after it was listed in 2011 to $151.1 million in 2018.
The CEO believes that the status of a listed company uplifted the public perception of 800 Super. "We didn't raise a lot of funds ($5.7 million during the initial public offering) but it's the image, from a waste disposal company into a listed company [that counted]."
According to 800 Super, reasons cited for delisting then included the desire for more flexibility to manage the business, and to save on expenses relating to the maintenance of a listed status.
Then in December 2019, the company opened its integrated energy and resource recovery facility that cost at least $130 million to build.
800 Super is one of the leaders in its industry locally. It is one of three NEA-appointed licensed public waste collectors and has a long-term contract with the Public Utilities Board (PUB) for sludge treatment. But it is the Tuas South facility that more visibly displays its environmental credentials in line with Singapore's sustainable waste management vision as outlined in the Zero Waste Masterplan.
At the same time, the facility is an investment that generates new revenue streams for the company as it continues to stay ahead of the highly competitive industry.
Waste gives back
When Number 8 Tuas South Street 7 opened in 2019, the biomass, sludge treatment and industrial laundry plants were already up and running. The animal feed processing and sterilising facility, and third-party ISO tank container heating facility started operating soon after.

Thanks to research and development (R&D), the 21,000-sq m facility is self-sustaining, with the by-product from each process being used in the next.
800 Super prides itself on doing its R&D in-house. It is a culture that gives back to the company's employees knowledge and experience not just in traditional waste management, but also in adjacent industries. The CEO himself does not shy away from getting involved in R&D despite his self-confessed lack of knowledge of the sciences.
"During school days, I didn't learn chemistry, I didn't learn physics, but now, I've started to learn all of these," says Mr Lee.
On a tour of the Tuas South facility, the CEO stops at the sludge treatment plant to point out that the process is electrified by the biomass plant. He adds that the steam generated powers the laundry facility that handles everything from bed sheets to pool towels for various major hotels. 800 Super made its foray into the laundry business by acquiring Iwash Laundry in 2017, about a year after it was awarded the PUB sludge treatment contract.

Still on the tour, Mr Lee puts on protective coveralls and a hard hat before walking to the area where malt and soybeans, extracted from processed food waste, are turned into animal feed ingredients. The resultant animal feed is then sold to farms.
The potential for 800 Super to grow its circular and sustainability business has been recognised. As the waste management solutions provider ramps up its animal feed processing efforts, ESG has been facilitating introductions and meetings with potential animal feed buyers, such as agri-tech companies.
At a broader level, ESG is also sharing about the environmental solutions firm to international companies looking to adopt the concept of an integrated resource recovery facility. For most of these companies, their home countries have commenced more advanced sustainability plans.
Mr Lee sees the animal feed processing unit expanding as the company looks at turning more types of food waste, such as expired bread, into animal feed ingredients.
Along the same line, 800 Super's can-do, entrepreneurial spirit was recently rewarded with a one-year food waste trial by NEA for the Ang Mo Kio-Toa Payoh sector. It's too early to say if this will benefit the bottom line, says Mr Lee. "Rather than a new business, this is a value-add for our company."
'What more can we do?'
What's next for 800 Super's sustainable circular business may well involve green hydrogen, a technology Mr Lee is very keen on. Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms through a process called electrolysis. Because it is created using renewable energy, it is also known as clean hydrogen.
The company is already familiar with electric vehicles (EV) as it has been operating three in the Pasir Ris-Bedok public waste collection sector since 2018.
There are plans to further beef up the fleet of electric vehicles at 800 Super, as well as potentially use green hydrogen to power them. Photo credit: KOH MINGGUANG
But while the EVs can reduce carbon emissions by some 80 to 90 per cent, the electricity is still largely powered by fossil fuels and EV systems still face challenges with energy storage, says Mr Lee.
"Green hydrogen is 100 per cent green," says Mr Lee. "We're studying with other parties to convert horticultural waste into [green hydrogen]."
With 36 years of experience in waste management and a growing expertise in its transformation into a sustainability business, 800 Super is raring to do so much more in Cambodia and other Asian countries.
Understanding emerging economies' need for different essential services as they increasingly urbanise, 800 Super will be ready to step in when opportunity strikes.
"We want to come in, we want to tell them what more we can do for their country. We don't want to stop at just waste collection."

Doing zoom with Youth Moves
Youth work is all about building a connection with young people, and guiding and supporting them accordingly.
Communication is key, and as workers our staff are used to doing this face to face.
So when lockdown came we had to adjust our services online. For most young people this was a strange transition, whilst some weren't comfortable, but many adapted brilliantly.
One of those young people was Leon. The 14 year old lives in Knowle West with his family and two young brothers, and has ambitions to become an online professional. For him it was no problem. He said: "I didn't feel hemmed in at all to be honest, I actually like playing games, I like being online. I want a career as a twitch streamer or a You Tuber," he added.
Although he does admit it was a bit odd attending a virtual youth club on Zoom initially, something that was new to him. He said:"Yes Zoom was a new thing, and a bit weird at first. We had about up to 8 people in it at times, and could see them all."
Leon is not cautious at giving his view, and didn't shy away from doing so on zoom, "I didn't really care. I was happy to talk to someone other than my annoying siblings to be honest!" he said.
The staff, together with his mentor George, would put on quizzes, and Leon loved them. George said: "Yes he got right into it, he was very enthusiastic. We did a different quiz each week: super heroes, animals, visual quiz photos of local shops and landmarks in Knowle and Hartcliffe, like Filwood, Eagle house, the Park. At times we had to stretch ideas a bit to keep it fresh. "
Star Wars was Leon's favourite quiz, and one in which he won. He said: "I was happy to win the Star Wars one. And it was definitely my favourite. I am a big fan, and one day I would like to watch all the movies in a row, all 9 of them."
Aside from the quizzes, Leon kept himself amused playing PS4, and watching lots of TV. Infact he was introduced to a show from yesteryear by George. "He told me about this thing with Will Smith called Fresh Prince of Bell Air, I had never heard of it before. its actually pretty good. Have watched quite a few of them now," he explained.
When the mentoring pair could finally meet up outside, after almost 12 weeks of no face to face to contact, it was a bit of a shock for George. Leon had changed considerably. "I couldn't believe the size of him, he had shot up and had a growth spurt. Looked over 6ft now. He must have been eating some magic beans in the lockdown!" he said laughing.
In September life will hopefully all return to normal for Leon, as he starts at Knowle DGE school. And he's excited: "I can't wait until September when I go back to school, and that's something I thought I would never say. It's only a ten-minute walk, so I will ride my scooter there anyway probably."
Where some young people have struggled, clearly Leon quite enjoyed lockdown. There was, however, one thing that affected him a lot. He missed one person that he is very close to - his nan. He stated: "We haven't been able to see my nan, who I usually see all the time. She has cancer, so we didn't want to risk her catching the virus and that. So was very nice to see her again the other week."
We are sure many people reading this can relate to feeling the same as Leon, and have missed a loved one during this time.
Good luck at your new school Leon!

With the Oster® Electric Spiralizer you can turn healthy vegetables into delicious spirals in seconds.
Oster® Electric Spiralizer Black is rated 3.9 out of 5 by 43.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anitak1975 from The Very Sleek & handy, Spiralizer I enjoyed learning how to use this New Product The Spiralizer! Cute name in itself. I didn't get to try to many different veggies but I did however make a dish with Potatoes, that was SO good. I don't eat a lot of Zucchini but however, do believe It will be my next veggie to try using the Spiralizer. It is very easy to assemble as well as easy to use. The Spiralizer has 2 blade options and works better with softer veggies. My honest Opinion, as I received this product free for my review, I think this product shouldn't be priced @ $50. More like $25. All in all, It is a nifty Lil machine to have in your appliance section of your Kitchen.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Reina Kaye from Great Spiralizer I've been able to use this spiralizer several times already using zucchini and cucumber. It's been messy and interesting considering this is my first time owning and using any kind of spiralizer, but I'm learning. The best thing I like about it is that it gives me a new way to eat veggies and eat more of them as I lose weight, and I have already turned one of my favorite dishes—fettucine alfredo—into a healthier version with zucchini for enjoyment. My only con with this spiralizer is as it is not an universal kind of equipment or even remotely close it's become like another item to add to an ever-growing collection of kitchen equipment.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carrie828 from Makes spiralizing so much easier This is my first experience with an electric spiralizer and I know I will use it so much more than the old manual spiralizer I had before. Very easy to use once I got it put together and great safety feature that the machine will not operate if the clear safety shield is not in place. The only limitation is the size of the vegetable put in the machine as it will only fit the size of the opening but this is an issue with any spiralizer on the market. I am excited to try different vegetables I haven't tried before. Will definitely be getting a lot of use out of this new machine. I received this product as a sample to review.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Wsledz from Eh, it's OK. I was really excited to try this out because it looked nice on the package and I thought it would be something I would use a lot. The 1st time I used the spaghetti blade, the zuccini got stuck and the blade clogged. The fettuccini blade worked great. The 2nd time I used the spaghetti blade it worked fine and has ever since. The big problem I have is that its wicked difficult to clean. Little pieces of veggies get caught in the little crevices around the blade. It was soooo annoying to pick them all out and took me forever to clean. It seems very cheaply made in regards to the plastic that was used. Its a nice, useful machine but I don't believe its worth the price it retails for. Disclaimer: I recieved this product to test & review.
Rated 5 out of 5 by purrfekt from Amazing & Powerful! This spiralizer is amazing! It is so easy to assemble and use. I had it out of the box, assembled, and had produced perfect zucchini noodles in under 5 min. It is so much easier than my hand spiralizer. It also seems to be pretty durable (I dropped a couple of the pieces while loading them into the dishwasher.) Nothing cracked or broke! It also cored out the seeds. I just had to fish the spiraled stem out from the rest of the noodles. The container only held 2 zucchini so I had to empty it twice, but for such quick work, that was no big deal. I just wish it had a way to cut the noodles but that's only a small issue. This is one kitchen gadget that will be getting a lot of use. I did receive this product as a sample to review.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JLR76 from It's fast and mostly effective. I say mostly because if you're not careful with the pressure used to feed the vegetables (I tested cucumbers and zucchini) down the chute you end up with a good 2 inches of squished veggie that doesn't spiral so you have to cut it up. If you're doing lots of veggies then the speed is a definite plus and the collection cup is big enough to do a decent amount before it needs emptying. The machine is sleek, doesn't take up a lot of counter space and cleans up really easy. It's definitely faster and easier to use than my hand crank spiralizer. Hopefully they can offer different blades in the future as it only comes with spaghetti and fettuccine size. I received this product as a sample to try in exchange for an honest review.
Rated 4 out of 5 by VeggieLover from Nice Product, Works Well! This is a good product. The instruction book is very simple and it makes the spiralizer fairly easy to put together and use as long as you read the instructions and follow them carefully. It seems to be a quality product that came very well packaged. I really like option of the two different slicing cones that allows for two types of noodles. However it does seem to work better with softer vegetables such as zucchini rather than a more dense jicama. Disclaimer: I did receive this product free of charge in compensation for testing and reviewing it.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mrsi from Great product I like this product a lot. It's is small, which is good for me because it doesn't take up a lot of space in my kitchen. It is very easy to use and creates visually appealing foods. The only downside is that I'm not sure how often I will actually use it. It is limited to use with foods that are hard. Potatoes were very easy to do; carrots wee a little more difficult because they are not as wide and a little harder to grab hold of, but after some experimenting I found ways to make it easier. Cucumbers (a suggested use) were not great because of the soft middle; I will have to try them again after removing the soft center. Overall, for what this is meant for, I give this product a great rating. Just not sure how often I will actually use it.
