The main thesis of the evening was how broad thinking can alter product and design and much of the focus was on cities around the world and the impact designers can have on the world in which we live.
Szenasy stated that urban areas are rebuilding at a rapid clip. She continued, “I hate to say this in Motown, but there's too many cars.”
She spoke of her idyllic childhood in a Hungarian village, and how, as a child, everyone knew her and her family— and looked out for each other. Neighbors were willing to scold kids when needed or send you home for dinner when it was time. She was able to roam unhindered and allowed her to explore and learn new things. She said that community is what shaped her experience.
Community is one of the most important aspects of urban living. And it is often missing. City planners and designers sometimes neglect to consider all aspects of city life when designing a city. “Just bc we know how to build skyscrapers doesn't mean we need to keep building them,” says Szenasy.
She implores us to “Find out what the street life is. It's not just about skipping through a street— It's how we relate to a place.” Now what we’re seeing is suburbia is creeping into the city, she said.
“Gentrification is huge. Nobody is asking any questions. There is a place for ordinary working people but many cities are not designed with them in mind. They don’t fit in anywhere. A lot of mixed-use buildings are designed by American architects. They ‘think’ they are creating a city-- but do they really Think they are creating a city.”
Szenasy continued that we should build with nature in mind. She said when Hurricane Harbey hit Houston, it hit the low-lying areas, generally lived in by those with lower incomes. She said rebuilding the area is a free-for-all because there are no zoning codes.
Young people are moving into cities in large numbers. She noted that meaning is important-- something beyond the work. Mobil work-from-home and co-working are popular options, as is redeveloping old building and factories into something new, creating a “story” in the workplace.

The days I spent driving down U.S. Route 101 in Oregon through Highway 1 in California were some of the best days of my life. Admittedly, I was malleable for the molding. I had just gone through a breakup and was getting ready to start a summer-long tour alongside the ex. I decided to take a detour on my way from New York to California, where the tour began. I drove across the country to Seattle and then down to Portland. I went west from Portland until I hit the Pacific and then I drove south and didn’t stop driving south until I hit San Diego. I pulled over at just about every lookout and inhaled the fresh scent of pine. Hardly developed at all, the journey down the 101 and the 1 is dotted with plenty of scenic lookouts.I picked wildflowers and stretched beneath the perfect West Coast summer sun. The hills were steep and a new picture-perfect landscape seemed to await me at every turn. The waves crashed violently against the rocks below. I listened to my favorite songs on repeat and forced myself to keep my eyes on the road ahead, rather than the views of the ocean to my right. I set up a tent and camped overnight at Harris Beach State Park. I woke up shivering without care, awe struck by the beautiful ocean before me. I saw Redwood Trees for the first time in my life. I walked through them, shaded by their enormous branches, one afternoon. I crawled inside of one in disbelief. Taking the long way to California for this trip was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. The bliss that accompanied me on this route never entirely left. When I think of my happy place, I often reflect back on the images I will forever hold from this trip.
If you make this drive, stunning scenery is inescapable. You’ll pass through or beside dozens of National and State Parks and Forests. Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Humbug Mountain State Park, Prehistoric Gardens, Rogue River National Forest, Redwood National Park, Humboldt Lagoons State Park, Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Arena Rock Marine Natural Preserve, Point Reyes National Seashore, Mt. Tamalpais State Park, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and Los Padres National Forest to name just a few.
Located in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Poconos Mountains have been a haven for people looking to escape the bustle of city life ever since Buck Hill Falls Inn and The Inn at Pocono Manor resorts opened in 1901 and 1902. With its reputation as a perfect getaway location, the Poconos has continued to be developed with things-to-do offerings and options for places to stay. In the fall, the more than 100 types of trees become a palate of color brilliance.
With a bit of planning, you can time your visit to hit the foliage at its peak and settle in for a night at one of the Pocono’s lodgings whether you prefer a vacation rental tucked in the woods, or a Poconos resort like the Inn at Pocono Manor that includes a golf course, horseback riding and a spa. Because eighty percent of Pennsylvania’s resorts are located here, there are plenty of choices. The Buck Hill Falls Inn, however, is no longer open. It is for sale, though. Annie also suggests Rentalo.com for seeking out lodging deals. She found a Poconos hotel for $75 per night. There are even less expensive digs listed here. If you’re interested in a couple’s only retreat, the Caesar’s Paradise Stream may be the answer.
To help you decide where and when to go and the best route to take for the best fall foliage here are 8 suggestions:
Ricketts Glen State Park–Considered the most scenic part of Pennsylvania, this park has more than 20 waterfalls, a gorge and old growth timber. Some trees are 500 years old. The area not to miss here is Glens Natural Area, a National Natural Landmark.
Lehigh Gorge State Park–Great place to see wildlife because the gorge’s river serves as a transportation corridor. A unique way to visit the area is by taking an Audubon Auto Tour.
Hickory Run State Park –Has scenic overlooks, hiking trails and trout streams. The park’s Boulder Field, is also a National Natural Landmark. An Audubon Auto Tour is also available for this park.
Big Pocono State Park–From the summit of Camelback Mountain the view includes part of New Jersey and New York. There’s a paved scenic drive, so you can get the view without hoofing it.
Lacawac Sanctuary–This historic nature preserve is a place to pair foliage with wildlife viewing thanks to folks who treasure the environment and share. In October there are fall foliage walking tours.
World’s End State Park–If you go here, head to Canyon Vista.
Beltzville State Park–The park’s 949-acre lake is a stopping place for migrating birds and if you walk along Saw Mill Trail you’ll pass through remnants of area history going back to the 1700s.
Delaware River Gap National Recreation Area–Why not see fall foliage from the water? Adventure Sports offers canoe, kayaking and rafting trips through the end of October.
To help plan a scenic drive, here’s an excellent resource I found. This page on TripCart outlines specific driving routes and highlights places to look for and things to do along the way.
Call the Pocono Mountain Fall Foliage hot line at (570)421-5565 for an up to date report on what colors can be seen where and when. Included in the recording are the types of trees that show such glory. I just called and can vouch for this resource. It’s terrific. Here is an on-line version.

Costs have increased more than 20 percent in two key Hall County bridge replacement projects.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is now projecting right-of-way acquisition costs to jump to more than $1 million from nearly $800,000 in replacing the Ga. 369/Browns Bridge Road bridge over the Chattahoochee River.
And construction of the Ga. 53/Dawsonville Highway bridge over the Chestatee River is now at $12.9 million, compared to an earlier estimate of $10.4 million.
The higher costs have emerged in a proposed update to the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization’s 2012-2017 Transportation Improvement Program.
The MPO serves as Hall’s lead transportation planning agency.
The update will be presented at a Wednesday meeting of the MPO’s technical coordinating committee, a group comprising area planners and engineers, with final approval set for Aug. 12 by the MPO’s decision-making policy committee.
Higher costs in both projects show the DOT is moving closer to the respective phase of work in each project.
“As part of development of the (Ga. 369) project, right-of-way costs are updated as a project nears that phase of work,” said Teri Pope, the DOT’s district spokeswoman.
And changes to the Ga. 53 project are “due to having better defined plans to estimate the construction cost,” she said. “We also have a better idea of market prices closer to letting.”
The heavily traveled bridges date to the 1950s, when Lake Lanier was built, and have been identified as needing replacement.
Right-of-way acquisition on Browns Bridge is scheduled this fiscal year, which began July 1 and ends next June 30.
Construction, which is estimated at $13.2 million, is projected to take place in fiscal 2017-18.
Right-of-way acquisition and construction is scheduled this fiscal year on the Ga. 53 bridge.
Another proposed update in the 2012-2017 program is that $5 million has been identified for right-of-way acquisition in the widening of Ga. 347/Lanier Islands Parkway between McEver Road and Lake Lanier Islands.
Arriving at that figure took a little time to complete.
“As we continued developing the project, more rights of way were needed,” Pope said, “and that caused a ripple effect of getting environmental approval for new areas in the project area.”
The 2½-mile project features a two-way left-turn lane, right-turn lanes as needed, multiuse path and sidewalks and a traffic circle near Lanier Islands Community Church at 6302 Lanier Islands Parkway, off New Bethany and Big Creek roads.

Untreated pain is a common problem in both developing and developed societies, across the lifespan. We will produce a suite of systematic reviews that aim to assess the published evidence of high quality studies on treatments for pain. We focus on three neglected areas of practice: Treatments for children in pain, treatments for adults with pain of neuropathic origin, and treatments of pain associated with cancer. We will comprehensively search the record of published evidence for trials (and other well conducted studies) that have sought to answer the question "does treatment X change pain and related outcomes?". We will combine studies on the same technology and provide evidence synthesis and where possible meta-analysis, to estimate the efficacy of different treatments. Our scope will be across both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Where possible we will use a 'rapid review' format. Where possible we will publish Overview reviews. Our aim is to publish all reviews in the three main topic areas in the Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews and so in the Cochrane Library
Many people suffer from pain that does not got away. Long term pain causes distress and disability and is one of the main reasons for people seeing their GP. People in pain may be given a treatment, but the evidence on what works best is not clear cut. One treatment alone may not help, and people with pain say they want treatment choices. This research will focus on three groups of people who have continual pain whose pain sometimes goes untreated or may not be treated effectively: 1. People with pain that is caused by damage to nerves from disease or an accident 2. Children and young people with pain 3. People who have pain because of cancer. This research is not about doing new studies with people. It involves finding all the good quality research studies that have been published (internationally) on treatments given to the people with the types of pain listed above. It will cover drug treatments such as pain killers as well as psychological treatments such as counselling. For each treatment or intervention, the findings of all relevant studies will be collected and analysed together, resulting in what is called a 'systematic review.' The resulting systematic reviews will aim to answer the question 'Does treatment x work for this group of people with pain?' The evidence from these reviews will be used in treatment guidelines that will change how doctors treat people with these types of pain in the future. The results will also be made available to patients and the public. Members of the public will be involved throughout the review process and will advise on how best to make this information and evidence accessible to patients. These systematic reviews will be published in an international evidence based resource called 'The Cochrane Library'. The aim is that health care will be improved because people can base their treatment decisions on evidence.

Delay may 'cost ANC votes'
The ANC's reluctance to name its premier candidates may cost it votes, especially in Western Cape.
This is the view of University of Johannesburg political analyst Steven Friedman.
By late yesterday, the ANC had "still not decided" who its premier candidates were, spokesman Jessie Duarte said.
This despite a senior ANC staffer telling Sowetan on Sunday that the party "would announce" its premier candidates yesterday.
While the law allows for the winning party to announce its premiers on the day Parliament opens after the elections, Friedman said: "It takes the choice away from voters. In Western Cape, where you have a significant amount of shifting voters, it will count against ANC."
Friedman said the ANC would be hard pressed to beat opposition parties in Western Cape without a popular premier candidate.
But a terse Duarte said: "We are not obliged to announce premier candidates." - Anna Majavu

Some tools allow a number of users, and that means you can ask family and friends to produce suggestions and changes. Tools like a compass can be utilised to assess the angles of distinct sides. Some tools will even allow you to collaborate with family members and friends, providing an on-line page they can edit. Some cloud-based tools can be seen online only. You may think that you could discover some easy tools on the internet, but first, you must wade through each one of the software meant for 3-D design.
Be certain that the titles match what you intend to talk about during your presentation. Otherwise, if you’re working in a digital presentation, make sure everybody is drawing the exact 3 shapes. Then see whether you can create your next presentation without using any bullet points in any respect. Even if drawing the very same subject, each youngster’s interpretation will guarantee a distinctive bit of artwork each time.
Coldpressed watercolor paper could possibly be favored for ink drawing because of its texture. If you want to make copies, search for software or apps that will enable you to download projects onto your own computer. The templates have many different animated and regular images which are very easy to copy. Otherwise, it is possible to also use the templates to improve your flyers, posters and several other documents.
Cartoon drawing permit you to explore your creativity with no limitations. Before drawing any cartoon faces, the very first thing which you need to realize is the basic shapes.

- While the 1999 National Census opted not to publish ethnic data, the 2009 count provided codes for no less than 111 ethnic groups.
- The Nubians, for example, argued that, while their forefathers had come to Kenya from Sudan as soldiers during the early colonial period, they now know of no other home and are as indigenous to Kenya as the country’s other ethnic groups, who nearly all have histories of migration into the state’s current territory.
- The negotiability of ethnic identities complicates analysis and policy-making, since it is impossible to agree on exactly how many ethnic groups exist.
It is often said that Kenya has 42 tribes or ethnic groups. At the same time, it is common for marginal communities to claim that they are Kenya’s 43rd ethnic group — think, for example, of the Ogiek, Nubians, Endorois, or Yatta.
Indeed, instead of being a hard fact, the number 42 stems from a particular moment in time and significantly underestimates the complexity of the country’s ethnic makeup.
This reality is reflected in the fact that when efforts are made to establish a list of the country’s ethnic communities, the number quickly increases. For example, in 2003, when delegates at the National Constitutional Conference were asked to compile a list of Kenya’s ethnic communities (with a view to including the list as an appendix to the new constitution) additions resulted in the number of “indigenous African” communities increasing to 94 within a couple of weeks.
Given this rapid proliferation, organisers scrapped the idea of a list for fear that it would not be conclusive and would cause grave offence to any missing community.
In turn, while the 1999 National Census opted not to publish ethnic data, the 2009 count provided codes for no less than 111 ethnic groups.
So where does the number 42 come from? As Samantha Balaton-Chrimes notes in her forthcoming book on Kenya’s Nubians, it comes from the number of options available to people when answering the tribe question in the 1969 National Census.
However, this number has been far from stable over time. For example, the 1962 census coded 40 groups, while the 1979 census recognised 38 ethnic groups.
This lower number under President Moi resulted from the addition of several groups and simultaneous collapsing of the Kalenjin sub-groups (for example, Nandi, Kipsigis, and so on) under a single code.
In contrast, the most recent census provided codes for a number of previously unrecognised groups and for sub-groups of some of the country’s larger ethnic groups.

Hamstring injuries have increased by 4% annually in mens professional football, since 2001: a 13-year longitudinal analysis of the UEFA Elite Club injury study
2016 (English)In: British Journal of Sports Medicine, ISSN 0306-3674, E-ISSN 1473-0480, Vol. 50, no 12, 731-737 p.Article in journal (Refereed) PublishedText
Background There are limited data on hamstring injury rates over time in football. Aim To analyse time trends in hamstring injury rates in male professional footballers over 13 consecutive seasons and to distinguish the relative contribution of training and match injuries. Methods 36 clubs from 12 European countries were followed between 2001 and 2014. Team medical staff recorded individual player exposure and time-loss injuries. Injuries per 1000 h were compared as a rate ratio (RR) with 95% CI. Injury burden was the number of lay off days per 1000 h. Seasonal trend for injury was analysed using linear regression. Results A total of 1614 hamstring injuries were recorded; 22% of players sustained at least one hamstring injury during a season. The overall hamstring injury rate over the 13-year period was 1.20 injuries per 1000 h; the match injury rate (4.77) being 9 times higher than the training injury rate (0.51; RR 9.4; 95% CI 8.5 to 10.4). The time-trend analysis showed an annual average 2.3% year on year increase in the total hamstring injury rate over the 13-year period (R-2=0.431, b=0.023, 95% CI 0.006 to 0.041, p=0.015). This increase over time was most pronounced for training injuries-these increased by 4.0% per year (R-2=0.450, b=0.040, 95% CI 0.011 to 0.070, p=0.012). The average hamstring injury burden was 19.7 days per 1000 h (annual average increase 4.1%) (R-2=0.437, b=0.041, 95% CI 0.010 to 0.072, p=0.014). Conclusions Training-related hamstring injury rates have increased substantially since 2001 but match-related injury rates have remained stable. The challenge is for clubs to reduce training-related hamstring injury rates without impairing match performance.

This is the kind of thing you hate to hear right before camp, what the concern was when word leaked yesterday that Toronto draft pick Ed Davis injured his knee in a workout.
The Raptors announced late today that it was a meniscus injury and that they are looking at treatment options.
A torn meniscus was the injury that left Brandon Roy and Andrew Bynum slowed in the playoffs. It may or may not need surgery — depends on the severity — but either way it is likely to slow Davis at the start of the season. And as he is needed to be part of the Raptors front line rotation (which is already plenty thin) that is not good news.

The Marshmallow update has made its way to quite a few of Samsung's devices in recent days, including the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, the Galaxy A5 (2016) and A7, the Galaxy On7, and the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge+ on AT&T.
Now, as PlayfulDroid reports, Samsung has begun rolling out Android 6.0.1 to the Galaxy S5 Neo too. The Neo was a revised version of the original Galaxy S5, launching in August 2015, with an octa-core Exynos processor, 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM.
The update is already available for the Neo in Austria, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, bringing the software version up to G903FXXU1BPD4. At present, the update appears to be available only for the SM-G903F variant of the device, but availability will likely expand to other variants in more parts of the world in the coming weeks.
The Marshmallow rollout began for the original Galaxy S5 back in March.

How to Avoid Margin Erosion or Even Worse, Selling Below Cost
In working with customers across the verticals we support, we're seeing the impact of supply chain disruption and inflation. These topics are everywhere; dominating your news feeds and turning up in your supplier discussions. The reality hits when your Purchase Orders start getting shorted, and your AP Bills for inventory start creeping up. Finding stock at the right time is hard enough, but managing the constantly changing costs and protecting your margin requires a level of detail that many business owners struggle to keep up with.
You need a plan so that your management, receiver, and sales team are all keeping an eye on margin erosion and avoiding the worst-case scenario, selling below cost.
Windward Software has a lot of pricing tools included, so you can keep your costs in sync with the selling price.
Fixed pricing, Margin from Landed, or Quantity discounts are a just a few examples.
If you deployed Fixed Pricing, you may not have to change your shelf labels out all the time, but you run the risk of costs creeping above that price.
If you're deploying Margin from Landed on the majority of your items, there are some solid protections you can put in place to keep your margin intact as your costs go up.
Are you sourcing from alternate suppliers?
What cost is being referenced in your pricing model and how does it stay up to date?' This is especially important to answer for yourself when you're buying the same product from multiple vendors.
We recently worked with a business that found some scary anomalies in their inventory; list price was below cost. In proposing a solution for them going forward, we felt it important to relay some settings in your system that can help.
Remember, the cost on a Purchase Order matters for your sales margins, as the Accounts Payable bill may not have shown up yet when receiving, yet you still may sell right away. So checking with your vendors as you purchase, is a safe way to assure accuracy when receiving.
What if the cost has gone up?
There are options to "Update Standard Cost" so that you can automatically update your pricing (in the Margin from Landed scenario at least). There's also a setting to "update standard only when higher", so that if you get a good buy you're not lowering your price. And most importantly, with supply chains forcing you to look elsewhere for products, there's also a setting to update standard cost regardless of whether it's your primary supplier or an alternate.
If you're a Windward Client you may want to consider using this feature to protect your margins. Here's a screenshot of the settings to get you started.
Business Efficiency Check-In
Surely things have changed since you first implemented Windward in your Business. Let's revisit your business requirements, and together we work through a review of the best practices for System Five.
A little bit of time spent with us can have a big impact on your business.

What Is Covid-19 and How Does It Affect Hair Loss?
The novel coronavirus, better known as Covid-19, has caused unprecedented disruption to many aspects of life and has affected various industries. One area that has not been talked about as much is how Covid-19 can lead to hair loss. This article will examine what Covid-19 is, how it affects hair loss, and several ways you can help prevent it.
What Is Covid-19?
Covid-19 is a new infectious disease caused by a previously unseen virus called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was first identified in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Since then, the virus has spread rapidly worldwide, leading to the current global pandemic.
How Does Covid-19 Affect Hair Loss?
The impact of Covid-19 on our physical, emotional, economic and social wellbeing can be profound. Covid-19 can also cause hair loss in certain individuals due to its ability to induce a state of shock in the body. This shock can cause significant amounts of stress, which in turn can lead to hair loss.
What Are the Symptoms of Covid-19?
The most common symptoms of Covid-19 are fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath. Other less common symptoms may include fatigue and loss of taste or smell.
How Can You Help Prevent Covid-19 Related Hair Loss?
Covid-19 related hair loss can be prevented by taking the following steps:
- Moisturise your hair regularly to avoid dryness and breakage.
- Ensure you eat a nutritious diet rich in vitamins and minerals to provide essential nutrients for hair growth.
- Limit your exposure to environmental stressors such as harsh weather and air pollution.
- Minimise the use of chemical products and heat styling to prevent damage to your hair.
- Get enough rest and reduce your overall stress levels.
- Regularly check for any scalp conditions that could be causing hair loss.
It is also important to follow government guidelines to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and to stay safe.
Covid-19 can lead to hair loss in some individuals. It is important to take steps to prevent hair loss such as following a nutritious diet, minimising exposure to environmental stressors, and getting adequate rest.
We hope this article has helped give you more information about Covid-19 and hair loss.

Last night, “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s show to complain about President Obama’s decision to skip Fox News when he embarks on a media blitz on Sunday to push health care reform. POTUS will appear on Al Punto, a public affairs show on Univision instead of Fox News. In case the right wing hasn’t noticed, the Hispanic community, which is growing in leaps and bounds, is commanding a lot of attention, and rightly so.
Wait, wasn’t Chris Wallace the same person who accused the Obama administration of “childishness,” saying: “They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.” So, Chris, what’s the problem now that the President has dissed you the way Fox News continues to diss him?
It’s time for a reality check Fox News. The President doesn’t have to take what you are dishing up — unfair and unbalanced views and news.


Sometimes they’re good, sometimes they’re not.
You know what I mean.
Some blog posts just take off and go crazy like a space shuttle on steroids.
Sure, it’s great stuff. Great ideas. Great writing. But what accounts for the thousands of tweets and shares and readers gushing in the comments like they’ve never read anything that good before?
Why do some blog posts go viral and others don’t?
Maybe the writer’s just one of those gifted people, you grumble, or lucky. It’s hit or miss, isn’t it?
Could be you’ve written one of those zingers. More likely, you’ve published a few pieces here and there that got more attention than usual, and you’re not sure exactly why.
Other times, what you thought was first-rate was as popular as canned asparagus with five-year-olds.
Some posts are hot and others sit cold and lonely for a reason.
It’s not about some vague concept of good writing or the blogger having an off day. There’s a method to the madness.
Let’s assume you have at least a few regular readers and enough traffic to make a difference when they tweet or share one of your blog posts. If you’re writing just to get a scheduled post published, and you’re not giving it a whole lot of thought, success is really going to be hit or miss.
But let’s talk about success for a moment.
How do you measure a blog post’s success?
Is it the number of tweets or other social shares it gets? The number of comments or compliments? Page views?
Most bloggers want at least three things to happen when they publish a new post:
- They want people to read it
- They want people to like it
- They want people to share it
What’s the real reason you’re blogging?
You might not have specific goals right now, especially if you’re just getting started. Maybe you want to make money somewhere down the road—eventually. But for now, you just want people to read—right?
Other bloggers are more focused, but wherever you’re at, think for a moment: How are you measuring your success?
Are you building a subscriber list? Are you trying to attract a following that will buy that novel you’re writing? Do you have a product or service to sell?
Measure blog post success by how much closer it brings you to your goal.
Measuring that success is important whether it’s by tweets and Facebook shares or by the number of comments, subscriber sign-ups, or units of product or service sold. (Sales is somewhat different although the approaches discussed here can be effective.)
Make sure you have a way to measure your success and keep track of it because it’s time to get to work.
Here’s how to write irresistible blog posts.
Unless you’re already super popular and readers go wild over anything you write (or it looks that way), it’s never a completely sure thing.
But successful blog posts always have at least one, sometimes two of the following elements in place. Once in awhile they have all three.
Using at least one of these techniques in your blog posts will improve your success rate no matter how you measure it.
A successful blog post hits a pain point.
No matter how much it hurts, people are unconsciously attracted to topics they need to read about. Pulled in. Drawn in. Mesmerized, even, once they start reading.
Something is bothering them. They have a problem they need to fix. They’ve been hurt, and they need to heal.
They’ve got a goal, and they don’t know how to reach it.
They’ve strived and struggled and fumbled and failed, and they don’t know what to do next. But they want to do something about it.
Your niche or topic doesn’t matter. Find the wound, find the pain, dig deep.
Write about what hurts.
Write about failures and successes. Tell readers about the mistakes they’re making as a parent or why their business is failing and what they can do to change things around.
Get the anxiety going. Get the recognition going. Hold up a mirror and whisper could this be you? It sucks, doesn’t it? Yeah, I know. Been there. But I got out, and here’s how I did it. You can, too.
Fire up the reader’s drive to succeed. Remind them of where they want to be and what they need to do next—how they can relieve the pain—and you’ll have a winner.
A successful blog post is actionable
To really grab readers’ interest, get them hurting. Then give them something to do about it.
If you’re used to writing purely for information, entertainment, or literary value—think research papers, humor columns, and poetry—this can be quite a switch.
Although there’s an audience for just about everything on the Internet, blog posts that provide something a reader can do are especially prized.
Actionable items don’t have to be in a list form, as in Top 20 Ways to Meet Hot, Wealthy Women.
You could tell a story about how you achieved something remarkable—how you met, got a date with, and married that woman—and as long as readers can clearly see the steps you took and can duplicate them, it’s actionable.
How to fix fantastic meals in 20 minutes or less. Secrets to reducing fibromyalgia pain without medication. Why your wife doesn’t want to sleep with you (and what to do about it). Get more traffic with better SEO.
Write better blog posts by following these tips.
You get the idea.
A successful blog post is mind-blowing
Wow, I really get that. Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. Oh, how devastating but what a success. Holy shit, what a story! OMG she’s just like me. If he can do it, why can’t I?
Those are some of the recent reactions I’ve had to some fabulous writing. Or maybe the writing wasn’t exactly stellar. Maybe it was just good. Solid. Well done.
But I was shocked, surprised, or emotionally blown away. I learned something, either about the world and other people or myself.
I felt confusion, heartache, or horror. I witnessed rescue, revival, or redemption.
Maybe I was astounded by bravery and resilience. I felt lifted up and encouraged by someone’s actions or beliefs.
Shocked at how cruel or careless or compassionless people can be but that somehow they changed or their victims overcame all odds.
Sometimes there aren’t any victims of anything other than circumstance. And no matter what the circumstance is, there’s a hero. Jon Morrow’s On Dying, Mothers, and Fighting for Your Ideas is a classic mind-blower. And thousands agree.
Could you write a blog post like that? Of course you can. Why not? Everyone has a unique situation or a take on life that can be turned into an amazing blog post.
It doesn’t get written in an hour, a day, or even a week, though. A lot more goes into great writing than hitting pain points, making it actionable, and blowing reader’s minds. Of course.
But if you keep goals in mind—hit pain points, make it actionable, write mind-blowing stuff—your blog post has a much better chance of success than if you just bang out whatever comes to mind.
Before you start writing your next blog post, ask some questions and make a plan.
1. Is it actionable? Does this topic lend itself to a series of steps or action items that readers can take to solve a problem or make something better? Could it be narrowed down or broadened to make those specific steps possible?
2. Will it hit a pain point? Does this topic or some part of it makes readers bite their nails, worry all day, and keep them up at night? What are they worried about? What’s the solution?
3. Does it have surprise or shock value? Do I have a personal story I could share? Could I do some research to find some little-known, surprising facts about this topic?
Use one, two, or all three of these elements in your next blog post, and use them as often as possible.
Measure the difference. Watch your tweets or Facebook shares go up. You might get more comments, or you might make more sales. You might notice a big difference in page views, too.
Success might not be obvious or measurable right away, but you’ll eventually see it, guaranteed.
And you don’t even have to be a great writer because it’ll mean the difference between unfocused, unhelpful, and uninspiring writing and blog posts that are irresistible.
Over to you. Do you use these elements or other techniques in your blog posts? Have you seen a difference? And please share if you know someone who would benefit from reading this!

Nearly 460,000 people—more than the population of Pittsburgh—aged 50 and older comprise almost 20% of the United States prison population, according to the Prison Policy Initiative, and that percentage is expected to increase to as much as one-third by 2030.
As the population of elderly incarcerated individuals increases throughout the country, so do the number of those who need geriatric and end-of-life care. The quality of that care is something one Penn State researcher has been working to improve for more than 15 years.
“In prison, there’s a need to treat everyone the same, but that’s not feasible for certain groups,” said Susan Loeb, associate professor of nursing for the Penn State College of Nursing. “There is a high vulnerability for older adults in prison. We can affect a group of people who have not experienced being cared for or caring for one another. It is an opportunity to promote health and wellness.”
Loeb’s research focuses on developing e-training for corrections staff and incarcerated people who provide peer caregiving, enhancing end-of-life and geriatric care for incarcerated people and promoting health behaviors of incarcerated people. One of the goals is to deliver standardized, easily updated resources.
She says the current state of affairs in the jail and prison systems makes it difficult for the adequate care of the older prison population. An older incarcerated individual’s health is generally 10 to 15 years older than their non-incarcerated contemporary, and the fluidity and number of people who enter and exit a prison—from staff to visitors—makes the population especially vulnerable.
In addition, education and training programs are highly variable from prison to prison and do not take into account individual needs, like if someone is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and there are other barriers preventing adequate care such as IT security issues, financial resources and obtaining access to prisons for research.
“Training is home grown and not especially standardized,” she said. “Programs range from non-existent to well-oiled machines. We’ve been working on adapting and transforming early work, along with prison insiders at the Department of Corrections, to work together to develop a paper electronic toolkit for training front line and interdisciplinary staff.”
Loeb has been working with a team of researchers, including a clinical psychologist and hospice and long-term care nurse, instructional designers and individuals with years of experience working in the corrections industry. Those professionals include a correctional system administrator, former director of nursing of a state correctional institution, director of training for a state department of corrections, prison chaplain and corrections officers.
The breadth of expertise shows the training requires a buy-in from groups across several disciplines, according to Loeb.
“Our training was designed to be multidisciplinary—there are certain groups that need unique care,” she said. “Following the chain of command is important inside a prison, so raising awareness that there needs to be, not only light shed on this, but accommodations made for certain individuals. Having some kind of peer look out for you could be quite helpful in those situations. You have to have the right people in the right seats.”
Peer caregivers play a critical role in elevating the care of older incarcerated individuals. Loeb says the responsibilities vary from one institution to another, but they can help provide direct care, secure commissary items, assist with writing letters to family members or people outside of prison and spend meaningful time with one another.
She says the trust built between the caregiver and person who needs care helps that person age with dignity, decrease stress and provide positive ways to spend time in difficult situations.
“For the most part, the folks who are engaged and sustained in those roles as caregivers are, more often than not, very well-received,” Loeb said. “Peer caregivers gain a lot from it as well and gain feelings of contribution and community, and the hope that one day they’ll benefit from such care and attention.”
As Loeb continues her research, she has two clear goals: delivering executable, contextually relevant resources to enhance training, and changing the mindset of people who think incarcerated individuals are not deserving of necessary, important care.
“Nobody in prison should die alone,” she said. “There’s value and importance for everyone to receive attention and care. We need to shift the mindset of those who think they shouldn’t and change it to a ‘Why not everybody?’ approach. Everyone should receive some modicum of humanity and respect.”
Palliative care important for prison population, too

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 occurred today on the US island of Puerto Rico, causing disruptions of electricity and material damage, the US Geophysics Institute (USGS) announced, AFP reports.
The earthquake occurred at 06:32 local time (10:32 GMT) in Guayanilla, in the south of this Caribbean island, but the earthquake was felt in most of the territory, already devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, including in the capital of San Juan.
The earthquake has caused disruptions to the system that supplies electricity for about 250,000 customers.
Puerto Rican Gov. Wanda Vázquez declared a state of emergency, activating the National Guard but ordering government employees, except for first responders, to stay home.
Vázquez said residents should make emergency preparations for more quakes in the next few days. The island is equipped with more than 70 days of regular gas, 70 days of premium gas and 130 days of diesel, she said.
A tsunami alert issued for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands was quickly canceled. The Electric Power Authority, PREPA, reported some damage to two power stations and said power plants automatically shut down to protect themselves, causing the island-wide power outage.
José Ortiz, PREPA executive director, told El Nuevo Día the quakes damaged a power plant in Guayanilla in southwestern Puerto Rico, not far from the epicenter.
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan was operating on generators, but all flights remained on schedule, Aerostar Puerto Rico CEO Jorge Hernández said.

David de Gea has sent supporters a message of gratitude following Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter final on Monday night.
Jose Mourinho’s side, thumped 4-0 on their last visit to Stamford Bridge, begun the game with plenty of power and conviction but quickly ended up on the back foot following Ander Herrera‘s red card.
De Gea couldn’t do much about N’Golo Kante’s 51st minute strike but produced a string of fine saves to keep the game alive.
The Spaniard took to social media to thank supporters for their continued support.
— David de Gea (@D_DeGea) March 13, 2017
We should have known, as United fans, that this was going to be a grim evening: United’s last win at Stamford Bridge came in October 2012, and that only came courtesy of Chelsea going down to ten men and an offside goal.
The odds were stacked against Mourinho’s men this evening: no Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial; just two days of preparation compared to Chelsea’s six; and, of course, that awful record at Stamford Bridge somehow placing an aura of foreboding over the whole encounter.
And yet, even in the face of such adversity, Mourinho’s men gave everything, working indefatigably as a collective. And United fans will know that such a performance was, whilst disappointing in terms of its result, illustrative of a promising future.

SWAVAY RELEASES LIVE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE FOR “FACES” VIA DEF JAM RECORDINGS/GIANT MUSIC
“FACES” – THE LATEST SINGLE RELEASE FROM THE UPCOMING ALBUM ALMETHA’S SON
SwaVay, a native of Atlanta’s bubbling rap scene, drops live acoustic performance to new single “FACES”, available on all streaming platforms via Def Jam Recordings/Giant Music. Watch HERE. “FACES” is the recent single release from ALMETHA’S SON, SwaVay’s forthcoming project, release details to be announced soon. “FACES” is the follow-up to SwaVay’s label debut earlier this summer with “JUGG” single and video.
“A song has never come to me as easy as this,” SwaVay said. “Although this song has no context really to my album, it’s one of the songs I’m the proudest of. When you play this song, make love to your lover, and make some ugly faces while doing it.”
Powered by hard-earned confidence that his own genre-traversing style is ready for hip-hop’s – and music’s – biggest stages, SwaVay arrives at the industry’s #1 hip-hop destination with the depth and dexterity that is typical of Dogwood City’s greatest. His brand of soulful trap fusion has earned cosigns and collaborations from artists across genres and sounds, from multi-platinum producer Metro Boomin, to U.K. pop/electronic/R&B auteur James Blake.
In 2019, SwaVay shared a Grammy® nomination for his contribution to “Elevate” (with DJ Khalil, Cordae, Denzel Curry, and Trevor Rich), from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. In 2021, SwaVay appeared on “Frozen” (with Dreamville Records’ J.I.D), a track from Blake’s LP, Friends That Break Your Heart.
Inspired by the likes of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drake, as well as golden-era greats like Jay-Z, Nas, and Snoop Dogg – SwaVay dropped his first solo, Poet Talk (2012), while still in school. More indie releases followed, including TRVPLANTA (2015), and Before Eye Die (2016), as SwaVay found his place amid Atlanta’s competitive trap scene.

Volvo Cars creates mobility solutions that aim to bring back the freedom to move in a safe, sustainable and personal way.
Imagine a world in which you can travel long distances without the need for airports. A world in which you can avoid airport security, hours of queuing and waiting, and noisy, cramped airliners. What if the alternative was taking your own first-class private cabin that picked you up at your home and transported you safely, comfortably and seamlessly from door to door? At Volvo Cars, this vision is not as far-fetched as it may sound.
With the Volvo 360 Concept, Volvo Cars is exploring a holistic view of how we travel in the future that is autonomous, electric, connected and safe. The basis of the 360c, as it is known, is a fully autonomous, fully electric car the size of an XC90 SUV but without a human driver. The concept capitalises on the design freedom created by the absence of a steering wheel and a combustion engine. This allows engineers to reimagine the traditional placement of passengers in rows of two or three.
The 360c presents four potential uses for autonomous driving vehicles – a sleeping environment, mobile office, living room and entertainment space – all of which radically redefine the way people travel. It also introduces a proposal for a global standard in how autonomous vehicles can safely communicate with all other road users.
The automotive industry is changing, and Volvo is at the forefront of this change. Autonomous drive enables the exploration of exciting new business models and allows consumers to spend time doing what they want to do, even while in the car.
Beyond new potential customer groups for Volvo Cars’ business, the 360c also carries implications for the future of travel, city planning, infrastructure and modern society’s environmental footprint. It does not just reimagine how people travel but also looks at how people engage with friends and family while on the move, and how they can ‘reclaim’ time while travelling in the cities of the future.
The 360c also introduces a proposal for a standardised autonomous vehicle communication system that will enable other road users and autonomous vehicles to understand what the 360c is going to do next. The company believes that such a standardised system will play an integral part in making autonomous vehicle travel a safe and pleasant reality.
Volvo Cars is a human-centric brand and a key innovator in the area of smart city solutions – an area where electrification and automation will play a key role. The 360c is a first yet deliberate step towards a broad discussion about the potential that autonomous driving technology has to fundamentally change society for the common good.

The most prized exhibit at the fabulous Museum of Villena in Spain is a set of 66 mysterious gold ornaments, part of the so-called Villena treasure (El Tosoro De Villena). It is about 3,000 years old and even to this date, its origin is shrouded in mystery.
The museum claims it is Europe’s most important prehistoric treasure, which contains almost 10 kgs (22 lbs) of gold. However, a new study reveals that the Villena hoard also contains meteorite iron, in addition to gold.
Since its discovery in December 1963 by Spanish historian José María Soler, many researchers have been bewildered by traces of mysterious “dark leaden metal” in two of the artifacts; a hollow semisphere and a penannular bracelet.
They initially thought the black metal was ferrous oxide or some other form of terrestrial iron. Now we know the origin is extraterrestrial.
“The new analytical data presented in our study point to the use of meteoritic iron for the manufacture of both objects,” the study authors note.
Terrestrial vs extraterrestrial iron
To decode the composition of the leaden metal, the researchers employed mass spectrometry, a technique that reveals the chemical composition of materials. Their analysis found that the alloy’s iron-to-nickel ratio was different from what would be expected from materials sourced on Earth.
“The spectra of both pieces (the semisphere and the bracelet) clearly indicated the presence of iron and nickel, with clearly visible peaks of Fe(Kα and Kβ) and Ni(Kα and Kβ) suggesting relatively high percentages of the latter chemical element,” the researchers note.
Trace amounts of cobalt and more than five percent nickel were detected in the meteorite iron. High amounts of nickel are characteristic of meteorites. No terrestrial metal is known to have such a high nickel concentration.
In fact, the iron ore found on Earth has almost “undetectable amounts” of nickel and cobalt.
What’s even more interesting is how the ancient jewelry makers learned to craft ornaments using a metal of extraterrestrial origin.
“The presence of such an unusual raw material suggests it was made by highly skilled metalworkers capable of developing new technologies,” Montero Ruiz, one of the study authors, told Smithsonian Magazine.
It’s possible these Bronze Age artisans had enough meteorite iron to study its different properties, perform experiments to learn how they could use and shape it, and eventually incorporate it into their jewelry.
The first meteorite iron object from the Iberian peninsula
It’s not the first time scientists have found artifacts made of meteorites. For instance, in 2017, a team of researchers identified the presence of meteorite iron in a Bronze Age axe, pendant, and King Tutankhamun’s famous dagger.
Also last year in August, scientists confirmed the presence of meteorite material in an ancient arrowhead.
However, this is the first time something of meteorite origin has been identified from the Iberian Peninsula, a geographical region surrounding Spain and Portugal. It also brings us one step closer to understanding the origin story of the Villena treasure.
“The available data suggest that the cap and bracelet from the Treasure of Villena would currently be the first two pieces attributable to meteoritic iron in the Iberian Peninsula. Such a result places the chronology of the Villena Treasure in the Late Bronze Age before the production of terrestrial iron started,” the study authors said.
However, the current study only suggests a high probability of meteorite iron in the two jewelry items. The findings do not definitively prove the extraterrestrial origin of the iron found in the artifacts.
“Other tests would be necessary (to confirm these findings) that would require transferring them to laboratories with equipment for precision non-invasive analysis (Gamma Spectrometry, Proton-induced X-ray emission, computed tomography, muon radiography, etc.),” the study authors note.
The study is published in the journal Trabajos de Prehistoria.

An assistant treasurer for the 2010 campaign of the District of Columbia mayor has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors on charges of making straw donations to another mayoral candidate and destroying evidence.
The charges against Thomas Gore represent the first criminal case to emerge from a more than yearlong probe of Mayor Vinenct Gray's 2010 campaign. The investigation and corruption cases involving other elected officials have clouded the Democratic mayor and district government since Gray took office.
Gore was charged Monday, and a plea hearing was scheduled for Tuesday. He faces four counts, including felony obstruction of justice.
The straw donations he's accused of making went to Sulaimon Brown, who accused Gray of promising him a job in exchange for negative comments about then-mayor Adrian Fenty.

Last May, eight members of the Ingham County Board of Commissioners, all representing districts in the Lansing area, signed and mailed a letter encouraging employees at a Keykert USA Inc. facility in Webberville to unionize with the United Auto Workers (UAW). In the process, they misinterpreted labor law, misled workers into believing the Board endorses unionization, and may have harmed the state's business climate.
The letter, printed on Ingham County letterhead and addressed to "Workers at Keykert" called upon Keykert management to "remain neutral, allowing you, the workers, to make your decision in a fair and free atmosphere."
Keykert's management is under no such obligation, either legally or morally. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) places certain limits on how employers can respond to union campaigns. Employers may not retaliate against union supporters, or use threats or promises to sway workers into voting against the union. But employers are allowed to oppose unionization, and express their concerns to their employees.
But beyond the terms of the NLRA, the signers of the letter seem to have a problem with open debate. In order to make a fair and free-not to mention fully informed-decision, Keykert workers deserve an opportunity to hear from all interested parties. That includes Keykert management. The eight signers of the letter demonstrate a disappointing lack of regard for the rights of managers, and for the intelligence of employees, when they imply that by weighing in on the subject of union representation, Keykert management subverts employee rights.
As written, the letter to Keykert employees leaves workers with the impression that the Board of Commissioners had passed a resolution supporting union representation at Keykert. In a letter he sent out later that month Commissioner Randy Schafer (a non-signer) protested that, "the letter gives the impression that the Board of Commissioners endorses the union's viewpoint when, in fact, the Board has never voted on, does not vote on, nor even discusses such issues."
Indeed, the Commissioners' action is no less wrong than if they had put together a letter to Keykert workers stating that they, the Commissioners, were opposed to the move to unionize, and that they wanted the workers to know that if they voted against the move, they would do so with the support of the Commissioners.
Keykert's pro-union employees used the County Board's union endorsement to boost their organizing efforts. They prepared a flyer informing co-workers of the Commissioners pro-union stand. Keykert employee Herb Harrington wasn't persuaded by the flier and wrote a letter to the Board questioning its ethics. Harrington went on to say, "The impression it [the Board's union endorsement] gives to many employees who do not think a union is necessary at Keykert is that we are going against the wishes of the County's governing body, and by extension, the citizens of the County." Harrington asked the Board for a clarification, which he has yet to receive.
He deserves one. By clumsily attempting to intervene in an election, the eight County Commissioners trampled on the rights of both Keykert management and employees. In the process, they only added to the impression in the business community that Michigan has a hostile labor climate, encouraging new and expanding businesses to look elsewhere when considering a home. The Ingham County Board of Commissioners should immediately explain its actions and retract its letter.
(The eight signers of the letter from the Ingham County Board of Commissioners to Keykert employees were Victor Celentino, Debbie DeLeon, Mary Stid, Curtis Hertel Jr., Mark Grebner, Amy Krause, Chris Swope, and Calvin Lynch)

Those who know me best know I typically cannot tolerate romance movies. Sure, there are exceptions like “When Harry Met Sally” and “(500) Days of Summer,” but I usually find most of them to be unforgivably manipulative, inherently cheesy and full of cringe inducing dialogue. As a genre, I typically avoid it whenever possible, so my enthusiasm for “About Time” was not at an all-time high. But then I noticed a familiar name on the movie’s poster, Richard Curtis. This is the same man who wrote the screenplay for “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” one of the few romance movies which actually had me on the edge of my seat, and he also wrote and directed “Love Actually” which has become my dad’s favorite film to watch on Christmas Eve. As a result, my excitement for this movie suddenly went up to an unexpected height.
“About Time,” on the surface looks, like the kind of romantic comedy where a man and woman get together, fall in love and then break up only to become a couple again by the movie’s end. But the fact is its trailer doesn’t do the movie any justice. The story ends up becoming more than the usual romance, and it ended up go in directions I didn’t expect it to. Curtis is obviously aware of the trappings inherent in this genre, and he succeeds in avoiding them and gives yet another film which is genuinely moving and full of characters who are relatable and refreshingly down to earth.
The main character of this romantic tale is Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson), a 21-year-old desperate to have a girlfriend in this lifetime. His attempts at getting a kiss on New Year’s Eve don’t work out as planned, and it only adds to his self-deprecating attitude which he has clearly spent years perfecting. He can’t even capture the heart of his sister’s best friend Charlotte (Margot Robbie) who is quite the looker.
Before he heads off to London to become a lawyer, Tim’s dad (played by Bill Nighy) lets his son in on a little secret: the men in his family have the power to time travel. All Tim has to do is go inside a closet, clench his fists tightly and think about a place he wants to go to, and suddenly he’s there. He immediately tests this time travel power out and goes back to New Year’s Eve to get the kiss he missed out on, and from there he uses it to benefit himself and those closest to him whenever possible.
Now on the surface this seems like a silly plot for a movie, and the Bill Murray comedy “Groundhog Day” quickly came to mind as I watched “About Time,” but Curtis has not given us the typical time travel movie here. In fact, the time travel aspect gets pushed more and more into the background as Curtis aims to focus on not one but two love stories.
Tim ends up meeting an American woman at a blind dating restaurant where everyone is served food in the dark, and through their conversations they form a connection which becomes unbreakable. Once he gets outside and back into the light, he discovers the person he spoke with is the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams), and their moment on that quiet London street had me rooting for them to make this relationship work.
The other love story in “About Time” is between Tim and his dad, and I found it to be the most moving part of this movie. At first it looks like they have the usual father-son relationship where the father gives his son life advice and the son takes it with a grain of salt, but their relationship feels a lot more real than those I have seen in recent movies. Once Tim learns his dad is headed for a certain fate he can’t escape from, their relationship becomes even deeper and you dread the moment these two people will have their last ever conversation.
Are there some logistic problems with the time travel aspect of this movie? Probably, but I didn’t care. It serves as an interesting plot device as Tim accidentally erases his initial encounter with Mary after helping a friend, and he ends up having to make her fall in love with him all over again. It’s also amusing to watch Tim try to improve on certain moments in his life with Mary like when they have sex or when he proposes marriage. Heck, we’d all love to have the power to undo the more embarrassing moments in our lives, and I got a huge kick out of Tim undoing his.
But the time travel device does serves to illuminate one of the movie’s main themes which is to not be overly concerned with the past or the future, but to instead stay in the present and take pleasure in every moment. This is what I love about Curtis’ movies, how he takes the most mundane, ordinary things and turns them into a thing of beauty. They are the things in life we take for granted and don’t always take the time to appreciate. By the movie’s end, Curtis makes us realize this, and we come out of “About Time” with an upbeat look on life we don’t always have.
The other thing I’ve come to love about Curtis is how populates his films with multi-dimensional characters we can relate to. The thing that drives me nuts about a lot of movies, especially ones from the romantic genre, is how they give us characters that are doing so much better than the rest of us, and it gets to where we just believe that all these problems with love only happen to successful white people. Curtis, however, continues to give us the most memorable characters we could ever hope to meet in our lifetime.
It also helps that Curtis has quite the cast to work with. Domhnall Gleeson, whom you might remember as Bill Weasley in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” is terrific in the way he radiates that Hugh Grant awkwardness as his character goes from being unlucky in love to being very lucky in life. As for Rachel McAdams, I’m trying to remember the last time I found her to be so radiant in a movie. McAdams does some of her best work here as Mary, and every time she smiles it just fills your heart with joy. There’s also some nice performances from Lydia Wilson as Tim’s wayward sister Kit Kat (yup, that’s her name), Lindsay Duncan as Tim’s mom, and the late Richard Griffiths has a wonderfully memorable moment as an actor who doesn’t need help memorizing his lines and will bluntly let you know this.
But the best performance in “About Time” comes from Bill Nighy who portrays Tim’s dad (we never learn his character’s real name). It’s the simplicity of his performance which really gets to you as he never overplays or underplays the character. He never tries to go for that “Oscar moment” which the Academy easily goes crazy over for all the wrong reasons. Nighy doesn’t give us an extraordinary man or a boring father. Instead, he just gives us a man and a dad who is no different from the one we’ve grown up with, and he makes it so, when we watch him, we can’t help but think of our own dad.
Seriously, “About Time” moved me to tears. The only other movie this year I’ve cried after was Terrence Malick’s “To the Wonder,” but that’s mainly because he just had to use Henryk Gorecki’s “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs” which remains the saddest piece of music I have ever heard. With this film, Curtis reminds you of how the simple pleasures in life can often be the greatest, and of how you need pain in order to better appreciate happiness. There are a lot of movies out there which try and make you see this, but few filmmakers these days can make us appreciate this as much as Curtis does.
It’s a bummer to hear Curtis say “About Time” will be his last film as a director. He’s not leaving the movie business, but he is going to spend more time on the charities he works for. Still, it’s hard to think of any director, other than Mike Newell, who can better convey Curtis’ views on life as well as Curtis. Here’s hoping he changes his mind at some point in the future.

Upon receiving word that the state of Indiana was awarded a two-year grant of $18.1 million per year from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for opioid treatment services, Indiana Family and Social Services Administration Secretary Jennifer Walthall, M.D., M.P.H., issued this statement:
“These funds are crucial as we continue bolstering our evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery services, expand access to recovery housing and medication-assisted treatment, and work to reduce the stigma around substance use disorder. We are grateful for the support the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is providing Indiana as we continue to attack the drug crisis. These resources will enable us to help more Hoosiers avoid and recover from substance use disorder.”
Additionally, the Indiana State Department of Health has been awarded a nearly $3.5 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to advance the understanding of the opioid epidemic and to scale up prevention and response activities as part of the CDC’s Public Health Crisis Response. ISDH will use the one-year grant, which runs until Aug. 31, 2019, for a variety of activities to improve surveillance and data collection, increase awareness of the opioid epidemic, analyze drugs involved in overdoses and support local health departments engaged in harm reduction efforts.
“The opioid epidemic is an all-hands-on-deck effort, and these funds will enable us to better understand its impact on Hoosiers and give communities the information and tools they need to combat this public health crisis,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG.

How would you and your family cope if you were suddenly diagnosed with a serious medical trauma? What if you had to be off work for quite some time to recover? If you are an income earner, how long could your family’s lifestyle and financial commitments be maintained without your income to sustain it?
In Australia especially, we don’t like to talk about serious “what if’s”. It’s considered “depressing or pessimistic”. However, if you were to ask the huge number of families who have been through a medical trauma you would find that the one’s who didn’t talk about it or prepared for it, wish they had. So, let’s compromise! We’ll talk about it briefly for a moment now and then you can just take the action you need to take to make sure you won’t even have to think about it again!
Trauma Insurance is very specific in what it covers and so eliminates most of the concern over the financial burden that would occur should any of those listed traumatic events happen. It covers diseases such as cancer, stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s and MS as well as heart attacks and other heart disorders, major organ problems and a wide range of other serious medical traumas with normally around 30 to 40 definitions depending on the product disclosure statement (PDS).
A major benefit of trauma insurance is that it pays out a lump sum upon diagnosis, which means you get a pre-determined amount of money up front so you don’t have to worry about how you will afford specialist treatment or manage your financial commitments during your recovery.
Trauma Insurance can also cover you for modified total and permanent disability as well, so you may not need a separate policy for that. Plus, you can elect to include life cover for death and have everything all in one policy. To purchase a Trauma Insurance Policy you need to be aged between 17 and 59 and it can then be fully renewed up until age 70, with reduced cover until age 80. Shop around for the best terms and price or speak to your adviser for help finding the best deal for you.

KZ Tandingan is best known for singing, after winning in “X Factor Philippines” in 2012 and producing her own hit song, “Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako”, that gave her the Aliw Award for best new artist. Last year, she made waves internationally when she joined “Singer 2018” as a guest singer in Hunan, China.
Now, she gets to foray into acting in the indie film, “The Art of Ligaw”, produced by the Davao-based company CoreMinds and directed by Jourdan Sebastian. She says she couldn’t believe it when her handler at Cornerstone told her she has a new offer.
“Pero hindi raw sa singing kundi sa acting,” says KZ. “Siyempre, I couldn’t believe it. Sabi ko, totoo ba ito? Hindi naman ako artista, a.”
Direk Jourdan says they’re really looking for someone who speaks fluent Visayan. “The whole movie is filmed in Davao and the lead female character, Carisse, is a Visayan millennial provinciana working in a call center,” he adds. “Someone asked me to watch KZ singing a Bisaya song and I said, I think I found my Carisse. Epy is our choice as the male lead, Jake, and we asked KZ to do some readings with him. Doon pa lang, nagalingan na kami sa kanya. At ang ganda ng chemistry nila ni Epy. We asked her to take an acting workshop. As the shooting went along, we realized we made the right decision in casting her kasi she has good comic timing, she comes to the set prepared, memorized all her lines and always hits her marks. No take 2 needed. After this movie, we’re sure the industry will realize that she’s not just a good musician but also a good actress.”
KZ can’t help but cry during the presscon of “The Art of Ligaw” because of the lavish praises she got from her director. “I’m overwhelmed sa mga sinabi ni Direk,” she says. “But I also have to thank him, kasi kung okay man ang acting ko it's because he motivated me well. I should also thank Epy Quizon as my leading man as he is a big help to me. He being the more experienced actor between the two of us, talagang he guided me well during the shooting of the movie. We hope viewers will support ‘The Art of Ligaw’ kasi it’s a feel good romance that they will surely enjoy watching.”
KZ also gets to sing in the movie, performing her original songs “Quicksand” and “Walanghiyang Pag-ibig” that will surely captivate the audience. Direk Jourdan says “The Art of Ligaw” will show that courtship or “ligaw” could be the good tradition that we have lost now. Today, most young lovers go steady just on the basis of texting or of communicating through social media like Facebook.
“We live in an era where everything is instant,” says Direk Jourdan. “We have instant coffee, instant noodles and also instant relationships that do no last very long. The art of Ligaw will show that courtship is an integral part of a romantic relationship as this is where prospective lovers can get to know each other more deeply before they make a commitment in their relationship.”
“The Art of LIgaw” will open in theaters on November 13.

The city of Burlington will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Paramount Theater with a gala celebration at 7 p.m. Dec. 19 at 128 E. Front St., Burlington.
The event marks the opening of the theater, known then as The Grand, on that date in 1928.
"The Life of a Theater: The Paramount at Ninety" will be performed. The show will be "narrated" by the Paramount's ghost, Herschel.
"Act One will be nothing but the Academy Award winners for Best Song from the 1930s to the early 1970s," said David Anthony Wright, managing director of the Paramount Theater. "That includes everthing from 'The Continental' to 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."
Herschel also will provide commentary about life in Burlington during the 90 years covered by the show.
The show also will pay special tribute to The Gallery Players, Burlington's long-time community theater, and the group that saved The Paramount from the wrecking ball in 1977.
"Without their hard work, dedication and vision, the last of the downtown theaters would have been destroyed. So much of our town's history would have been lost forever," Wright said.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at etix.com, by calling 800-514-3849 or at the Paramount box office between noon and 3 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. For more details, call 336-222-8497.
