What mom wants their child to eat an unhealthy breakfast? Not Sue Kakuk, founder of Kakookies!
When Sue found out that her daughter and her daughter’s friends were eating donuts before their collegiate cycling races, she took it upon herself to find a way to give nutritious breakfast on their big race days. Not only was it important to give her daughter a healthy breakfast, but also to provide something that was convenient, individually wrapped and would fit easily in the back pockets of her daughter’s cycling jerseys. Sue started baking cookies and Kakookies was born.
When she first started baking the cookies, Sue wanted to accommodate for needs of many people with dietary restrictions, so she began by substituting typical cookie ingredients for healthier alternatives, baking regular, gluten free, and vegan cookies. To her surprise, most people, vegan or not, chose to purchase the vegan cookie over any of the others. She took that information and ran with it. She said goodbye to the flour, dairy and eggs and added no other substitutes for these missing ingredients. Now, all of her cookies are completely vegan.
In the beginning, Sue started selling her Kakookies at local athletic events. They would make about one thousand cookies, and to her excitement, they actually sold! Retailers and coffee shops started asking if they could stock Kakookies on their shelves, and Kakookies started growing organically.
At this point, Sue and her husband Jay were hand-scooping, hand-baking, and hand-wrapping each and every cookie. When they chose to go all-in and make this a full-time business, they decided that they needed to find a co-packer or a bakery to help them out with the process. This proved to be a challenge, as not all bakeries have the wrapping machines they needed or can make a cookie the way that Sue and Jay wanted. They found a small bakery that was willing to take on this task, however, as the business gained customers, Kakookies outgrew the first bakery and transitioned to a bigger bakery to meet the demands.
Fast forward a few years, Kakookies now offers five different flavors of Kakookies. The delicious varieties include Almond Cranberry, Boundary Waters Blueberry, Cashew Blondie, Cranberry Orange, and Dark Chocolate Cranberry. Kakookies is currently stocked on the shelves of approximately 200 stores and coffee shops, and growing! They are continuing to create new flavors of Kakookies for the world to enjoy.
This will be Kakookies’ fourth year participating at the Feast! festival. When asked what kept Sue coming back every year, she had nothing but positive things to share about her previous experiences.
“I love the opportunity to meet other food producers,” Sue shared, “I also really like that the event is organized into two days, where one day I can meet food producers and the next day I am able to engage with the public!”
Kakookies also was awarded the “Ready to Grow” award at last year’s Feast! tradeshow, supported by Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s New Markets Program. This award was given to Kakookies because of its potential and readiness for the business to grow.
Come check out the hype about Kakookies and have the opportunity to meet Sue Kakuk yourself at the Feast! festival on Saturday, December 2nd from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, Minn. Sample over 100 exhibitors’ products, learn from the various demos offered throughout the day, and get a chance to meet the owners of these great local businesses.

Antipolo Station of the old railway line
For readers who are interested in the old railway line to Antipolo, please look at the comments section of this old post from November 2012:
What if Manila retained its old railway lines?
Someone (Thank You!) posted about the Antipolo Station, which is the last one along the line and the station closest to Antipolo Church. While the remnants of the old station at Hinulugang Taktak is well preserved and safe (for now) from any future developments, what remains of the old Antipolo Station is now in danger of being demolished. Antipolo and the DPWH are widening the circumferential road located in the area and based on the dimensions of the sections already completed at Siete Media beside the Robinsons mall, the remains of the old station structure may be lost as well.
In my opinion, the city should preserve this part of its history that is also a part of our railway heritage. While such road widening projects may be important, retaining this piece of history is equally relevant as it provides us with a perspective of the past (i.e., how people travelled, what were their destinations of interest, etc.) and learn some lessons about this (e.g., why we should not have wholly abandoned rail for road transport).
Straddling bus prototype?
What was peddled as a unique public transport mode concept in social media is now a reality. Check out the article and video here:
China’s Futuristic Straddling Bus Is Finally Here
This is a welcome development for public transportation. However, some issues need to be addressed, particularly regarding road safety. Motorists traveling under the straddling bus may have reactions to the vehicle as it passes above them and such may lead to road crashes. Of course, with the advent of driverless vehicles such incidents may be minimised if not altogether eliminated.
Line 2 Extension construction at full swing
The construction of the LRT Line 2 Extension from Santolan, Pasig City to Masinag, Antipolo City is now in full swing. The contractor, DM Consunji, Inc., has occupied several lanes of Marcos Highway and the reduced capacity of the highway has led to moderate to severe congestion along sections from Ligaya to Masinag. At certain times, construction work required more space than the 2 lanes usually occupied by construction equipment and materials. Following are a few photos of the project showing various stages in the construction of the Line 2 extension.

Section in front of Vermont Royal Executive Village also showing a newly constructed pedestrian overpass that looks like it will be cleared by the elevated tracks.
Columns under construction along Marcos Highway across from Golden Meadows Subdivision.
Columns completed and under construction across Town & Country Executive Village – the photo also shows another pedestrian overpass but from the completed column its clear that modifications aren’t needed for the overpass.
Construction at the current end of the elevated tracks at Santolan, Pasig City
Construction works are expected to go on for at least a year before the trains can start test runs along the new tracks. This is definitely going to be a game changer in terms of commuting along this corridor once the extension becomes operational and hopefully DOTC is already planning an extension further towards Cogeo or perhaps branch out to Marikina via Sumulong Highway.
EDSA MRT 3 chronicles
A friend referred an article to me today and I thought it would be a very good read to a lot of people interested in what has happened and what is happening to the EDSA MRT 3. I think that this article is so far the most comprehensive, not-necessary-legal treatment of events leading to what we now have as a mass transit system along arguably the country’s busiest thoroughfare:
On a clear day you can see the MRT
It’s a must read for a lot of people who want to know about the dealings related to MRT 3 and perhaps understand how complex this has become. I would also recommend people read the very good discussions in the comment section of the article. It’s good to see the healthy exchange of opinions rather than have trolls ruin them.
Some advantages of rail over road transport
In my previous article, I mentioned how rail transport is important as part of a country’s transport system, particularly on land. I also mentioned a study conducted by our undergraduate students that was completed back in April 2012.
Our students conducted a simple survey, as part of their research, to determine the travel times and costs for public transportation between several origin-destination pairs. These O-D pairs were selected to simulate costs and travel times of commutes using either primarily rail or all road transport. Note the choices of either ‘school’ or ‘office’ paired with ‘home’ somewhere in the south of Metro Manila.
Travel time comparisons for commutes using road and rail public transportation – ‘Road’ refers to the entire commute using road-based transport (i.e., buses and jeepneys) while ‘Rail’ refers to commutes utilizing mainly the PNR but with road transport used in the end parts of the journeys (e.g., jeepney ride from near the PNR Espana Station to UST).
Travel cost comparisons for commutes using road and rail public transportation
Relevant to understanding the above are the following
- Fare rates have changed since 2012. However, this presents a constant change over the fares that are being compared so the basic differences will remain the same across origin-destination pairs.
- PNR services had to be discontinued for some time due to derailments because of poor conditions of tracks.
- Road traffic has worsened since 2012 with several “carmaggedon” episodes showing how vulnerable commuters are when using solely road transport.
- Road public transport services are frequent and practically 24/7. PNR services are of very limited frequency. Waiting times for the trains typically add to travel times in the form of delays, which make commuting by rail an unattractive option due to their unreliability of service.
Railway network for the Philippines?
We start November with an article about railways. There seems to be a lot of buzz about rail these days including talks about the prospects of a subway line in Metro Manila and long distance north-south lines for Luzon Island. These projects, though, will take a lot of time to be constructed and operational, even if these projects started immediately (i.e., next year). That is perhaps one reason why these projects need to be implemented sooner rather than later. And the more these projects are delayed, they become more expensive and also difficult to build (e.g., there are other developments such as roads that may hamper rail and other mass transit projects).
I had a couple of students who did research a little over three years ago on the state and operations of the Philippine National Railways (PNR). Aside from the research manuscript, their work has not been published. The results, however, seems quite appropriate these days as the country and Metro Manila in particular grapples with problems pertaining to commuting that is dominated by road-based transport. I will write about their results here but only show some excerpts as we intend to have part of their work published.
As a first salvo, here’s a map that they were able to get from the Philippine National Railways (PNR). The map shows current and proposed railway lines throughout the country. These include the PNR Main Line South (MLS), which extended to Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur and Albay. There is also what used to be the PNR Main Line North (MLN) that extended to Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan and La Union. Panay Railways, the only other long distance railway system aside from the PNR as late as the late 1970s, is also in the map along with the proposed Mindanao Railways.
This map was provided by the PNR and likely includes data coming from the Rail Transport Planning Division of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). Contrary to the perception of many in the current administration, a lot of railway planning was conducted by past administration and many were sound ideas that justified feasibility studies. As usual, the main obstacle for railways would be the competition with road transport. It was road transport and the construction of expressways and other highways, after all, that dealt the PNR its decline (and death in the case of the MLN) to what remains today.

Transport in times of rains and insensitive statements
How important is a good public transport system? Part of the definition of a good public transport system is that it should be an all-weather system. This means that even if there is inclement weather, the system would still be functioning and able to ferry people between their homes, workplaces, schools and other destinations. Of course, the exception here would be the times when there are extreme weather conditions like typhoons passing through cities. The rains today and past other days reminds us how difficult it is to commute even when you have your own vehicle. Those who opt to use their own cars now encounter severe traffic congestion with increasing frequencies while those with only public transport as their choice usually have difficulty getting a ride home.
Commuters on the carriageway trying to get a ride home – many brave the strong rains to get ahead of others
It is not just unfortunate but rather depressing that Metro Manila and other major Philippine cities have no efficient public transport systems. The current modes of transport are road-based and dominated by paratransit including jeepneys, multicabs and tricycles. The state of disrepair of the PNR and MRT3, the much-delayed extensions of LRT1 and LRT2, and the much-delayed construction of MRT7 and BRT lines all contribute to the hellish commutes people experience everyday. Combine these with what experts regard as deficient station plaza designs that have led to inefficient transfers between the trains and road-based transport. It is no wonder that a person on bicycle can beat a commuter on a trip between Trinoma in Quezon City and a university in Manila considering the state of MRT3 and the poor transfer conditions between MRT3 and LRT1. This won’t likely be the case in Singapore or Tokyo where the proper hierarchies of transport are well established and with the necessary facilities to support their people-friendly systems.
What’s more depressing, frustrating and disappointing (if its possible to feel all three simultaneously) is how transport officials, including and especially the top official of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), apparently see our transport woes as “not fatal”. Is it really “not fatal”? Increases in the incidence of respiratory diseases due to the increased emissions are attributable to mobile sources (vehicles) and the long hours of road traffic congestion. The increase in the number of fatal road crashes as reported by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is also attributable to a significant increase in traffic volumes. One comment on social media was right on the dot on emergency cases ending up dying due to the ambulances being unable to make it to the hospitals in time for their passengers’ treatments.
And so, there were renewed calls for transport officials to get out of their chauffeured cars and take regular public transport between their homes and offices. The dares include riding the MRT3 during the peak periods and actually experiencing the queues and the crowded platforms and trains. It is no wonder that the image of the Dutch ambassador riding his bicycle to his office has been a popular share in social media because a lot of people feel that leaders should be examples themselves on how each one of us can pitch in to solve transport and traffic problems. Attempts by some government officials (including the top official of the transport department) to ride the MRT3, for example, are met with much criticism because they are given special treatment – they skip the lines and have bodyguards escorting them and clearing the way and space for them to ride comfortably. Clearly, this is not what the common commuter experiences everyday when he or she would have to use something short of MMA skills to get a ride.
Are we helpless against such insensitivity of our officials, many of whom are politicians and professionals associated with oligarchs? Not totally. And next year’s elections offer the commuting public a chance to express what they think about transport in this country and in their cities and municipalities by making transport and traffic urgent issues that need to be addressed and prioritized. Will you vote for candidates who had a hand in the continuing deterioration of transport in the Philippines and who consistently dismiss transport and traffic issues as secondary and just a by-product of non-inclusive economic growth? I surely won’t and will be very critical of candidates’ platforms and proposed programs should they win and become the leaders of this land. A big part of those programs should be how to address transport and traffic issues especially the deficiencies in infrastructure. Addressing these pressing issues on transport and traffic will go a long way in improving the quality of life of Filipinos and ensure a sustainable and inclusive growth for the country.
The LRT Line 2 Extension gets underway
A lot of people have been waiting to see the construction of the LRT Line 2 extension from Santolan in Pasig City to Masinag in Antipolo City. Right after the groundbreaking ceremony last June, there seemed to be no activity along the alingment that was the center of Marcos Highway. Actually, there were already activities as the contractor already deployed personnel to do some surveys including marking the locations of the columns that will support the elevated tracks.
The past week saw the contractor setting up a work zone in the middle of Marcos Highway and stretching from across Robinsons Metro East and McDonalds. The work area included what was the opening for the Felix Avenue-Marcos Highway intersection. This is probably one of the busiest if not the busiest stretches of Marcos Highway so the reduction by one lane for either direction of the highway immediately had a negative impact on traffic. Added to the highway capacity reduction in terms of the remaining available lanes is the further reduction due to the ‘usyoso’ behavor of motorists ‘inspecting’ the work zone as they pass by.
Work zone across from Robinsons Metro East – direction of traffic to Masinag (eastbound)
Work zone at the junction of Imelda Ave. (formerly Felix Avenue formerly Imelda Ave.), Gil Fernando Ave. (formerly A. Tuazon Ave.) and Marcos Highway
Work zone near McDonald’s (on the other side -westbound – of Marcos Highway) and also near a major U-turn slot used by vehicles coming from Imelda Ave that are westbound
Traffic will definitely be heavy along this section and the rest of Marcos Highway once construction is at full swing. I am tempted to say that it might be worse than the NAIA expressway construction site of which the contractor is the same. I just hope the appropriate traffic management measures are implemented and that road users will be cooperative. This will likely be a couple of years’ sacrifice for anyone living along this corridor and the major roads connecting to it. Will there be a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel? There should be as LRT Line 2 will finally be able to serve an area wanting of efficient and reliable public transport.
Some thoughts on the EDSA MRT 3 problem
A lot of people reacted when the current Philippine President practically absolved the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) from any fault regarding the issues on the EDSA MRT Line 3 during his recent State of the Nation Address (SONA). The main message in some articles appearing on mainstream and social media is that the President should blame DOTC for the mess. I have the opinion that both DOTC and the private entities involved (MRT Corporation, MRT Holdings) are responsible for the problem and its being continuously unresolved.
A week ago, I got the following question in my email:
Who is it that we could blame for the current state of the rail system? What do you suggest that the government or the private partner do in order for them to improve the line?
Quite frankly, I thought the first question was too direct and blunt as to ask who we can blame for the MRT3 mess. It is also very awkward to answer the second question because it assumes that I am an expert on the legal issues on this matter. I am NOT a legal expert nor would I want to pretend to be one. Here was my reply:
That’s actually a very tricky question. We can’t really blame a specific person or persons but perhaps entire organizations that are supposed to be responsible for the mess that is MRT3. The main or root issue seems to be legal and not at all technical. The technical problems experienced are manifestations of a contract that is a textbook case for how NOT to do a PPP. I am not privy to the details of the discussions between the government and the people involved and behind MRTC so it is awkward to make comments specific to this matter of the contract and all its complexities. Perhaps the DOTC wants to follow “Daang Matuwid” by not budging to the terms laid out by MRTC? Perhaps MRTC is aware of the stakes (plight of the riding public) and is using this to force DOTC into a deal that is not favorable to government? We can only speculate on this without firsthand knowledge of their discussions.
However, from the perspective of transport as a service and as a public good, I would say that MRTC indeed is aware of the public’s clamor for improvement. This is all over the news and social media in the form of commentaries, images and even videos of the undesirable experiences of those taking the MRT3. In the end, DOTC must decide whether it is all worth it to maintain the stalemate with MRTC considering that the public interest is at stake here and things will just become worse with inaction. Perhaps the government should move towards the best compromise they can live with considering the urgency of addressing the problem at hand.
I would like to think that my reply was quite cautious. There have been many allegations and claims from both sides of the table regarding how to resolve the impasse and the conflicts that seem to be interwoven with the contract on the MRT3. Perhaps such cases test the limits of “Daang Matuwid”? Much was and is expected from DOTC considering its battery of lawyers including top officials of the department. Aren’t they supposed to have been involved in discussions and negotiations aside from strategic planning for our transportation in this country? I guess the general public especially those who take the MRT3 for their commutes already know who to blame for their plight…
Daang Bakal and Antipolo’s attractions
I recently wrote about the old railway line that used to run between Manila and Antipolo via a route passing through the town of Cainta that used what was probably the gentlest slope at the time – through what is now Valley Golf, Victoria Valley and Fairmont Subdivisions. Here are some more photos along Daang Bakal, the old Manila Rail Road line that is now a road.
Daang Bakal is a scenic route and one can only imagine how this place looked like when it was still a railway line and the areas along it were still undeveloped.
Hinulugang Taktak has been designated as a National Park and the areas along Daang Bakal at least have been preserved. Users of this road are quite limited to residents of exclusive subdivisions with gates along the road and trips generated by the Immaculate Heart Parish near the Fairmont gate. Public transportation is provided by tricycles that have a terminal at the intersection of Daang Bakal and Taktak Road.
The temporary fence that was made out of tarpaulin material is now in tatters. There is road construction work ongoing though but mainly for the access roads connecting to Pinagmisahan. The concreted area at the right side of the road in the photo seems to be for parking rather than road widening. Traffic is low along Daang Bakal and will probably not require road widening for the foreseeable future.
The main entrance and facilities for Hinulugang Taktak are still closed and there seems to be no activity to indicate that the rehabilitation project is not moving at all.

Italian schoolgirl launches movement to reopen schools, as a rise in cases causes many to return online.
An Italian schoolgirl has started a movement to get the country’s kids back into the classroom as schools closes just weeks after reopening due to rising Covid cases.
Anita Iacovelli has been sitting outside her school in the northern city of Turin since the 6th of November to protest the region’s decision to stop classroom learning again. The Piedmont region shut down schools just weeks after ending a six-month closure of them. The 12-year-old student, who enjoys maths, has been doing her studies on a tablet laptop outside her school even as temperatures steadily drop.
Bearing a sign reading ‘Learning at school is our right’, Anita began her protest alone before being joined by classmates and sparking similar movements across Italy. She said that at first she and her friends had been happy to see the closures return, as they were facing big tests, but says the prolonged closures are ‘extremely heavy’. She highlighted the difficulties of online learning, like having weak internet, and the pain of not being able to see her school friends regularly.
Anita’s protest has been picked up by the ‘Priorita al Scuola’ movement, a collective of Italian teachers and students who want kids back in classrooms after months of studying alone at home. The country’s Education Minister, Lucia Azzolina, called Anita to congratulate her on her activism and promised to reopen schools as soon as the government deemed it safe to do so.
She has been compared in the media to Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, but the Italian schoolgirl asserts that ‘I’m Anita, not Greta’.

Not sure if a Sears catalog supports the use of this design. If a catalog
were designed according to the approach of this page, it would be one long
pullout - certainly attention-grabbing but less practical (and maybe that
is ok for certain types of portfolios) What I think makes the horizontal
approach most problematic is that is far more laborious to navigate than a
vertical design, since it prevents me from being able to draw on features
built into the browser/OS, such as the spacebar or the mouse-wheel, for easy
vertical scroll. Seems that if one wants to go against the grain by having
a design not supported by features built into the system, one should take on
the responsibility of adding one's own features to compensate, in this case
to assist in the horizontal movement.
Check out a decent example of this:
(other problems with the page notwithstanding)
Click on 'info central'
Here, horizontal scroll is integrated with the navigation, which prevents
the user from having to do the unconventional horizontal scrolling to
discover the content, and at the same time adds energy to the design with
the flash-pan movement.

County police will participate in the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign beginning today (Aug. 17).
ACPD joins a national effort, which runs through Sept. 3, that aims to reduce drunk driving through increased public safety messages and augmented enforcement.
As part of that work, officers will conduct a “sobriety checkpoint” in the county on Aug. 23, stopping all vehicles who pass through it. Drivers will be asked to show their licenses and will be taken off the roadway for observation and potential intoxication testing if they seem to be under the influence.

Optical illusions will often be termed image photographs that alter from simple fact – the particular eye along with head ‘sees’ something that doesn’t really complement the particular actual dimension with the picture. Optical illusions can work in a variety of methods, they might be photographs which can be not the same as the particular objects which make them, they might be ones that can come on the side effects for the eye along with head as a result of extreme stimulation, and others the place that the attention along with head create spontaneous inferences.

Simple DIY stand to keep you immersion chiller off of your element.
Awhile back I made the switch to electric brewing. I built a three vessel eHERMS system, and as part of the build I needed to decide what chilling method to go with. immersion, plate, or counterflow were all on the table as options. After some going back and forth I settled on a immersion chiller for its simplicity.
My only concern with immersion chillers was the weight of a coil, full of water, resting on my element. I looked at several stand options but they were all pretty expensive for what they were in my opinion, especially when shipping got involved. Then one afternoon while picking up some things at Home Depot I found my solution, a stainless steel jalapeño popper stand.
The stand is pretty straight forward it uses 4 bolts and 8 nuts to create a stand above the element for your chiller to sit on. I use this stand both in a 10g blichmann and a 20g Spike kettle without any problems. Both the whirlpool and boil vigor seem unaffected by the stand.
Materials: Cost is $15-$20
1 Stainless Steel Jalapeño Popper Stand $10
4 Stainless Bolts $.75 – $1.50 each depending on length needed
4 Stainless Nuts $.50 each
Drill with proper sized bit for your chosen screw
vegetable oil or cutting oil.
pliers and or sand paper
This diy is about as straight forward as they come. If you can use a drill you can make this stand.
- Mark your holes: If you were to look at all 4 of my holes the are a bit staggered rather than in the 4 corners. This is because my blichman has a indented bottom and my element is rippled. “Dry fit” the stand to figure out where you need to drill for your feet. Do this by placing the popper tray on your element and marking the tray in 4 relatively equal location where the feet will be touching the kettle bottom.
- Drill your holes: Place a pice of scrap wood under your hole location. The scrap wood will allow you to put a fair amount of pressure on the tray as you drill it. if you can clamp the tray down do so, I just held mine in place with my free hand. Dip your bit in a bit of vegetable oil, and drill out the mark.
- Deburr the hole, a little sand paper may be needed to knock down any sharp burs (metal shavings) I pulled 1 or two off with a pair of needle nose pliers. A shading stone in a drill or dremel is another option.
4. Sandwich the tray in between the two nuts at the desire height to clear your element.
Overall I’m pleased with the build and it works just as I intended. In my 10 gallon kettle I can angle the tray so that the whole element is covered. This is nice because if I wanted to do a quick biab batch I wouldn’t be terribly concerned about melting my bag.
Leave a comment if you have any questions or try it out.

Comments Off on Specialty Towing – USPS NGDV Transport from WI to VA
It was Thursday December 15, 2022 and we were just finishing up the day and getting ready to go home. At around 6:30 pm our phone rang. I answered and USPS from Fairfax Virginia was on the line. The gentleman on the phone started by saying I have a project that we want to see if you can help us with and proceeded to explain the project.
He told me USPS’s NGDV (Next Generation Delivery Vehicle) one of a kind prototype was in Oshkosh, WI and needed to be transported to Fairfax, VA. He went on to explain that the vehicle didn’t run or drive but did roll. The dimensions of the vehicle was 9.5 feet tall, 7.5 feet wide and 19.5 feet long. No problem, I thought, this [...]
Comments Off on Miller Auto’s Entry Into The EV Market
Over the last year we have been doing extensive research into the electric vehicle (EV) market for the purpose of becoming the leading pre-owned EV dealer in our area. Recently, we acquired a 2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD to expand our knowledge and give us hands-on experience. We have had the Tesla for three weeks and here is some of the knowledge we have gained since we obtained it.
We love the roar of an internal combustion engine, the feeling of the engine working to increase speed and the feeling of the transmission shifting. I believe most car people have what I call mechanical remorse. To explain, mechanical remorse is that feeling after you have floored a car, while the engine is doing all it can to provide you all the acceleration and power [...]

This week, on an animal sanctuary in Southern Spain, I am surrounded by rock, and the nude, bare earth echoes the inner emptiness I feel. In England, all that green and growing doesn't match my insides. Here, this rock, this heat, this rugged blend of pine and desert wildflower, poking up from parched earth, speaks to my spirit. Here, amongst this rock, my heart feels at ease.
I awaken at early light and walk the dirt path to the pig run, and enter their space. Carmella comes to smell and nudge me with her snout, and I place my hand upon her coarse, bristled skin. I sit in the dirt and wait for her to realise that I will not hurt her, and, after a few moments, she lies down next to me. I stretch my legs around her so that I can rub her belly, and she rolls on her side so that I can get a better reach. She grunts her pleasure and closes her eyes. I breathe deep. I slow my breathing to match hers, in rhythm and depth, and I rub her until she's had enough, awakens from her brief slumber, and rises, moving on toward the back of the pen. Our encounter is a healing balm for us both.
In the morning hours, we stroke and feed and water the animals, or work in the garden. My skin bakes in the sun, from pasty white to the brown shade of rock that encircles this vast landscape. Here, my ears have a rest from the noise of city life. Here, I listen to the call of the birds, the neighing of horses, the barking of dogs, the grunting of pigs.
In the early afternoon, as the sun beats down hard upon the earth, we are summoned inside, to the cool of the dining room, where our generous host nourishes us with healthy and delicious vegan dishes. I gather with the other volunteers around the welcoming wooden table, and we eat and laugh and rest, together, with this family that has opened itself to strangers, and made us all friends.
They asked me to write down my next of kin as an emergency contact. Next of kin? My next of kin are all gone. Not really. I do have family. But they are far away, in America, and wouldn't be of much help, should something happen to me, here.
I am an orphan. Most of my family has passed before me. I have piled their deaths, one by one, like a pile of rocks, stretching up to this clear, clean, immense, blue sky. My father, my sister, my mother, and now. The love of my life, swept away from me in an instant, after it took me decades to find him.
I am awash in death.
I have friends in England. I have Stan's family, and I know they would be there for me. But I was only a part of their lives for a few years before Stan died. I wonder what they thought of me when I first came around. Perhaps they saw me as just another of his tenuous relationships, one of many he had had in his recent life, in his quest to find the one who understood him and loved him without condition. I like to think that I was that one.I like to think that he was able to settle in, a bit, when he met me, and realise that he had someone who would care for him and nurture his growth and spirit. I hope his children recognised the love and affection that passed between us. I hope they know how much he meant to me.
But next of kin?
My next of kin is dead. Gone with the wind.
These are the thoughts I have, as I sit here, my body warmed by the scorching heat. In this space, among these kind people, I have found a bit of reprieve from the relentless grief. In this vast, wild landscape, I unfurl my sorrow, and let it rest.
At night, I walk to my tent by the light of the full moon, to the song of the doves and nightingales. Some folks are bothered by their loud singing, and must close the flaps of their tents and plug their ears in order to sleep. But I keep the tent flaps open, shielded only by the screen. In the distance, the village church bells ring their signal every hour, on the hour. I count them. Twelve. It is midnight. The clanging bells are my only anchor to the time, here. I drift off to sleep with the sounds of the earth all around me.
There is a donkey here, named Nero. He is very social. He holds his head over the low fence so that I can stroke his forehead and ears. He loves to be touched. When I walk away from him, his bottom lip quivers, and he lets out a boisterous bray that echoes off these rugged rocks.
Every night, around three a.m., Nero awakens the world with his mournful wail. He calls out with all the strength he can muster. I'm alone, he says. He raises his brown face toward the moon. His cry is loud enough to startle the deepest sleepers. I'm alone. I'm alone. Come visit.
I find comfort in this donkey's wail. I love to hear it in the night. If I had the courage, I would rise, unzip the screen of my tent, and rush to his side. I would raise my face to the moon, open my vocal chords, and meet his wail with my own. I'd call out loud enough so that all those who have passed before me could hear it. My father. My sister. My mother. My love.
I'm alone. I'm alone. Come visit.

I didn't do the last 6 week challenge at Nerd Fitness. But I'm going to set up a 30 Day Challenge for the month of November.
- Finish NaNo for the first time
- Do as many push ups, crunches, squats and one arm rows as I can in 30 minutes in the morning
The fitness goal is to ultimately lose weight with out counting calories. I will weigh myself Nov 1 first thing in the morning and then not look at the scale until Dec 1 first thing in the morning. The only thing I plan to track is how many of each exercise I do on a given day. (and of course word count)
Wish Me Luck!

In the past week, there have been several terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut that have killed hundreds of innocent people allegedly at the hands of Islamic supremacists. While these attacks may seem so far away from our tranquil city, the ripple effects from these hateful actions can still be felt even in the Lone Star State.
On Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott posted a letter to President Obama stating he would not allow Syrian refugees in Texas, an act that is actually not really within his power.
In addition to Abbott’s decree, the capital city felt repercussions of these terrible incidents closer to home on Monday when the Islamic Center of Pflugerville was vandalized with torn pages from the Quran and a smearing of feces on the building. The Pflugerville Police deemed the act as a hate crime.
Needless to say, we’re all in need of some good news. Which is why story of a 7-year-old Pflugerville boy’s selfless act has been making the circuits this week. Jack Swanson emptied out his piggy bank and donated $20 to the cleanup efforts.
"It's 20 bucks, but coming from Jack collecting his pennies, it's worth 20 million bucks to me and to our community," Board Member of the Islamic Center Faisal Naeem told KXAN. "This gives me hope because this means it's not one versus the other."
As an extra bonus for those in need of an additional dose of cute kids helping to give the world a bit more hope, here’s a video of an adorable French boy learning how to feel better in the wake of terrorism.

CANBERRA, July 20 (Xinhua) -- Researchers have discovered that a "radical cure" is the best treatment for a type of malaria affecting 13 million people.
A team of international malaria experts, led by the Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin, on Friday published a study analyzing the treatment of plasmodium vivax malaria.
Plasmodium vivax is the most common cause of recurring malaria, affecting more than 13 million people every year with 40 percent of the world's population at risk of infection.
Researchers uncovered evidence of vivax malaria becoming resistant to standard treatment with chloroquine, a problem exacerbated by the plasmodium vivax parasite's tendency to lie dormant in the liver for long periods before causing recurrent infections.
"This analysis of more than 5,000 patients from 37 studies... is the largest individual patient data meta-analysis of plasmodium vivax clinical trials to date," Rob Commons, a member of the team from the Menzies School of Health Research, said in a media release on Friday.
"Our results show chloroquine is currently given in lower doses than recommended, with as many as 35 percent of patients in trials given less than the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended 25 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg). We also know from our analysis that these patients are more likely to fail treatment."
If left untreated, plasmodium vivax malaria leads to severe disease and death.
"The study highlights the need for clinicians in affected areas to provide radical cure to kill the blood and liver stage of the vivax parasite and ensure patients can recover quickly. We also want to prevent transmission of the parasite to other people and reduce the global burden of this disease," Commons said.

Allergy Shots and Visit Services on the Same Day
At the outset of the physician fee schedule, the question was posed as to whether visits should be billed on the same day as an allergy injection (CPT codes 95115-95117), since these codes have status indicators of A rather than T. Visits should not be billed with allergy injection services 95115 or 95117 unless the visit represents another separately identifiable service. This language parallels CPT editorial language that accompanies the allergen immunotherapy codes, which include codes 9515 and 95117. Prior to January 1, 1995, you appeared to be enforcing this policy through three (3) different means:
• Advising physician to use modifier 25 with the visit service;
• Denying payment for the visit unless documentation has been provided; and
• Paying for both the visit and the allergy shot if both are billed for.
For services rendered on or after January 1, 1995, you are to enforce the requirement that visits not be billed and paid for on the same day as an allergy injection through the following means. Effective for services rendered on or after that date, the global surgery policies will apply to all codes in the allergen immunotherapy series, including the allergy shot codes 95115 and 95117. To accomplish this, CMS changed the global surgery indicator for allergen immunotherapy codes from XXX, which meant that the global surgery concept did not apply to those codes, to 000, which means that the global surgery concept applies, but that there are no days in the postoperative global period. Now that the global surgery policies apply to these services, you are to rely on the use of modifier 25 as the only means through which you can make payment for visit services provided on the same day as allergen immunotherapy services. In order for a physician to receive payment for a visit service provided on the same day that the physician also provides a service in the allergen immunotherapy series (i.e., any service in the series from 95115 through 95199), the physician is to bill a modifier 25 with the visit code, indicating that the patient’s condition required a significant, separately identifiable visit service above and beyond the allergen immunotherapy service provided.

In 1993, six gang members raped, killed, and brutally beat 14-year-old Jennifer Ertman and 16-year-old Elizabeth Pena beyond recognition. Cantu allegedly bragged to friends and family about being the ringleader of the incident, and he paid for it with his life.
Cantu had enchiladas, fajitas and a cinnamon bun for his final meal. At 6:09 p.m., lethal injection drugs entered Cantu's body. Eight minutes later, he was dead.
He gave no final statement and showed no remorse for his acts.
The arrogance of the crime combined with the horror of it galvanized the entire city of Houston against the six gang members. Cantu was the final of three men condemned to die for the murders. He let out a final breath at 6:17 p.m. and peacefully died.
It was a death the victims' families said was too good for the man who brought a violent and terrifying end to the lives of two teens 17 years ago.
"Put it this way: I wish my daughter could have died the way he died today. Wasn't no pain. These girls went through an awful lot of pain when they died," said Adolfo Pena, father of Elizabeth. "He deserved to die, and 17 years later he died. Not soon enough."
Even now, both families say there is no closure.
"It does make a little difference. Three of the animals who did this are gone, but you know it doesn't really make you feel any better," Pena said.
"There's no way to put closure on this," said Jim Stacey, a close friend of the Ertman family. "Maybe some satisfaction, but no closure."
The families also watched the executions of Jose Medellin and Derrick O'Brian in 2008 and 2006. In fact, death row rules were changed to allow families to watch executions because of this case.
Three dozen supporters cheered as the families emerged after the execution.
Cantu's family did not attend his killing. His only supporters were a handful of death penalty abolitionists who showed up to protest capital punishment in general.
"We could have put all of them in prison for life. Why kill when we know that sometimes we don't get it right?" said Gloria Rubac, a death penalty abolitionist.
However, the protesters in attendance did little more than annoy the families.
'It's ridiculous. At least they probably have a daughter they can go home to," Stacey said.
With the final execution completed, Pena said the two murdered girls can finally have peace.
"At least some of the scumbags are dead. All I would tell the girls right now is we still love you and still miss you," he said.
Medellin and O'Brian each apologized prior to their respective executions, but Pena said he did not expect an apology from Cantu on his deathbed and he was not surprised when he did not get one.
Focus for the victims' families now turns to the remaining three killers. Two are serving life sentences after having their death sentences commuted because they were juveniles at the time of the murders. The third man was given 40 years in prison and is eligible for parole. The families hope to keep him in jail for his entire sentence, of which he has served almost half.

Conditions that affect your sexual ability
There are many things which can impact a man’s sex life. Stress and certain chronic conditions can interfere with your ability to have sex. Their day-to-day life style can also affect their ability to have sex. Sexual dysfunction can reduce a person’s libido or your ability to become sexually aroused. It may prevent you from achieving an orgasm, cause premature ejaculation, or it may cause pain during intercourse. It gets into the way of a not enjoying sex life, which can affect your mood, relationship, and overall, well-being. Unhealthy lifestyle can also lead to problems getting or keeping an erection. However, by making some healthy lifestyle changes and treating underlying conditions, one can improve the quality of life in general. There are many reasons behind,
It is the most common and chronic ailments in India, occurring mainly due to an inactive lifestyle, bad habits such as smoking and drinking, and obesity. Diabetes also affects the blood vessels, leading to ED. In some case there is damage to the nerves which may cause orgasm without ejaculation.
In women, diabetes can lead to hardening of the blood vessels of the vaginal wall. Vaginal lubricants are extremely important to have sex, but due to the decreased blood flow the vagina becomes dry and it becomes difficult for women. There is a greater risk of yeast infection. High blood sugar levels can cause ejaculation and erection complications in men and less sexual desire.
Studies found that people who have diabetes, can treat sexual dysfunction by controlling their blood glucose levels. When diabetes is controlled, there is certainly a decreased risk for many complications. There are some tips which can help manage diabetes:
- Exercising regularly and staying active
- Do not skip your medicines
- Maintaining a healthy diet. You can include leafy green vegetables, eggs, beans, nuts and broccoli
- Quit smoking and intake of alcohol
- Whenever required do consult your doctor
Brain is considered the most important sex organ and depression is a mental disorder that impacts your overall well-being. The sexual desire is firstly started from brain and then it works its way down. There are chemicals called neurotransmitters which help the brain cells (neutrons) communicate to stimulate blood flow to your sex organs.
In a person with depression these chemicals are unbalanced which makes the sexual desire low. Low levels of these chemicals can dull the feelings of pleasure. Depression gives rise to symptoms such as anxiety, hopelessness, sleep troubles and loss of interest in activities a person used to enjoy, such as sex. It has a negative effect on a man’s sex life. Those who suffer from depression are usually sad, hopeless and irritable. There are some emotional issues which causes ED.
One can manage depression by some following tips:
- Make a routine and work on it
- Exercise regularly and eat nutritious foods
- Avoid alcohol and drugs
- Indulge yourself into some activities which makes you happy
- Do not forget to consult your doctor
- Avoid skipping medication
As mentioned above, our brain is the most important sex organ. It is because sexual desire first starts in brain and then it transmits to the other organ. Drinking alcohol makes the brain numb and the brain is not in its state to transmit the message to the other organ. Alcohol also affects the production of male hormones. This eventually led to ED. Unhealthy drinking changes a person sexual behaviour. For example, those who drink heavy are more likely to have unprotected sex or have sex with more than one partner. Consuming illegal drugs, like cocaine and heroin increases the risk of ED. There are some steps one could have to avoid ED
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid consuming alcohol frequently
- Make a habit of eating healthy foods
- Divert your mind so that it doesn’t call out for alcohol
- Make a hobby and do it regularly
Some women are unhappy with their partners and they feel bored during sex. There are many other reasons like workload, tiredness and household chores which can put a strain on their relationship. You should avoid it by talking to your partner about your feelings.
Chronis pains are those pains which last more than one month. It becomes difficult for a person with chronic disease to indulge in sexual activity. Some conditions like lower back pain, arthritis, headache and post trauma pain can cause chronic pain. There are few steps to control this pain.
- Do not resist the pain
- Consult your doctor
- Know the reason behind the pain
- Get a regular massage
- And foremost “DO NOT SKIP YOUR MEDICINE”
This problem occurs when circulation of the blood from the heart is obstructed. Some cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, damages the blood vessels which supplies blood from the heart to other body parts. When a person gets engaged in sex, it is mainly the brain which send signals to the nerves in your penis to increase blood flow. This makes erection. Diseases like high blood pressure, clogged arteries and high cholesterol levels could break these signals which lead to ED. Those people suffering from cardiovascular diseases may face the given symptoms and this causes sexual dysfunction.
- Shortness of breadth
- Chest pain
- Muscle weakness
Even if a person is having cardiovascular diseases, they can resume sexual activity and can be treated for sexual dysfunction. One should follow their doctor’s advice.
Some changes in the lifestyle of a person can also help them to resume their sexual activity and prevent the risk of ED.
- Quit smoking
- Reducing the intake of alcohol
- Exercising regularly
- Maintaining a healthy diet
- Being physical active
- Leaving obesity behind
Mental and emotional issues
Many a times stress, anxiety and depression and some other mental issues can play a major part in your sexual life. Worrying every time about your performance during sex can make you away from enjoying sexual intimacy. Instead of thinking of a person getting pregnant, use protection. This will save both the person and they can enjoy a better time together. Anger with your partner, less interaction with your partner and some ongoing issues about life will all affect your sex life.
When a person crosses a certain age, they are not able to maintain an erection. To change this, you should start with a foreplay and stimulate each other as much as you can before sex to keep an erection. But if you see a drastic change in erection in a short time, then do consult a doctor. Sex is a common thing and having it, a person feels joyful and at peace. It is not a taboo. Most people think of sex as a taboo. So, they feel uncomfortable to talk about sex.

GONÇALO CÁRCAMOUniversities, research institutes and companies are beginning to test, in practice, the benefits of the laws on Innovation and on the Good that created stimuli for partnerships and tax benefits for investments in developing new technologies. These difficulties were analyzed in the Technological Innovation and Juridical Security seminar, organized by the Center for Strategic Management and Studies (CGEE)) and Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI), held in São Paulo, on December 13.
Representatives of innovative companies, development agencies and scientific institutions present at the encounter were unanimous in pointing to the incompatibility of the new policy on innovation with the economic policy that since 2003 has now frozen US$3.4 billion of the Sectorial Funds. “We suffer from long-term shortsightedness and there is discordance in objectives”, underlined Glauco Arbix, from the Sociology Department of the University of São Paulo (USP).
They also identified incongruent points of the new legal landmark with other federal laws – above all with the draconian Law 8666, on public tender processes – and with what they classified as a lack of preparation of the control organisms – such as the Federal Audit Court (TCU) and the Federal Attorney’s Office (AGU) – to “comprehend” this new institutional situation. “For the federal attorney, a researcher cannot incorporate a company to exploit or license technology after depositing the patent”, explained Angel Uller, the director of the Alberto Luiz Coimbra Graduate Engineering Project Coordination (Coppe), of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), which since 1994 has been working in partnership with companies. “Some contracts require a clause of partnership with the private sector that the law prohibits”, added Maria Celeste Emerick, the coordinator of Technological Management at Fiocruz.
There are also some problems in the very text of the law. An example of this is the requirement to disclose the technology licensing process with exclusivity, which, according to Maria Celeste and Ângela, has created problems with partner companies.
“Is it a conflict of legislation or of culture?” Maria Celeste inquired. For lawyer Rubens Nave, a specialist in administrative law, the problem is that the new legal landmark, which establishes partnerships between the public administration, which has a juridical regime of public law, and civil society, governed by the juridical regime of private law. He recalled that the reform of the State has constituted some bridges between these two systems, as was the case of the creation of the regulatory agencies, social organizations, civil society organizations of public interest (OSCIPs in the Portuguese acronym) and special purpose companies (SPEs in the Portuguese acronym), which still have great difficulty in rendering accounts when they use public funds.
In the evaluation of Carlos Américo Pacheco, from the Economy Institute of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), innovation will depend on deepening the reform of the State. “The international pattern is one of cooperation between the public and private sectors”, he stated. The format of partnership closest to the one desired is the format of the SPE. This, by the way, is the model chosen by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) which is piecing together the creation of an SPE made up of private and public capital to remain in the leadership of farm research. Embrapa chose some areas that are more attractive for the private sector: agroenergy, biotechnology and nanotechnology. In the area of agroenergy, there is now an interest of BR Distribuidora, Itaipu Binacional, the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) and Banco do Brasil. But there are still legal bottlenecks for the projects to advance. “If Embrapa’s SPE goes beyond the paper stage, it will be a rupture in the Brazilian model for research”, Pacheco insists.Republish

The Armstrong Pirates baseball team entered this weekend tied with North Georgia for the regular season Peach Belt Conference championship. The Nighthawks dropped one of their first two games on April 25 while rain pushed the Pirates’ series back one day.
The Pirates took the field against Columbus State on April 26. The Pirates got off to a hot start by scoring eleven runs over the first four innings.
Junior Will Austin scored the first run in the bottom of the second inning by reaching first base on a fielder’s choice. The Pirates added four runs RBI single by junior Cody Sherlin, a two-RBI single by junior JT Phillips, and on a wild pitch.
The Cougars answered in the top of the third inning with a pair of solo home runs by Jackson Oliver and Mike McClellan. This did not deter the Pirates as they added on two runs in their next trip to the plate thanks to a walk and a fielder’s choice RBI by Phillips.
The PIrates added on four runs in the fourth inning thanks to a single RBI by senior Tyler Avera and a three-run home run by Sherlin. The Pirates had their biggest inning of the day in the seventh where they scored seven runs. Three of those runs came off of the Pirates’ second three-run home run off the bat of senior RJ Dennard. The Pirates went on the win Game 1 18-2.
Junior Corey Kafka pitched a complete game and allowed six hits while striking out four batters. (insert Kafka quote)
The Pirates could not take their momentum into Game 2 as the Cougars gave them a taste of their own medicine by blasting three home runs. The Pirates had opened up a 5-1 lead in the early goings of the game, but the Cougars responded by tying the game up with a three run blast by Blake Edwards in the fourth inning.
This started a good run for the Cougars, as they scored eight more runs over the next three innings and shut out the Pirates to move on to a 13-5 win. To make matters worse, the Nighthawks of North Georgia won their game on Sunday against Montevallo that eliminated the Pirates from winning the PBC championship. They did, however, clinch the number two seed for the PBC tournament.
On April 27, the Pirates hosted the rubber match of their series with the Cougars. The game was also Senior Day and the Pirates honored seven graduating seniors. The game did not go as planned for the home team as the Cougars pounced out to 4-0 lead in the first inning.
The Cougars on four separate occasions in the first inning. A throwing error, two RBI singles, and an RBI double gave the visitors the early lead and they never looked back.
The Pirates did all they could to get back into the game, but they only were able to muster two runs in the game. The two runs came off the bats of seniors Zach Lance and Avera. Even with the emotions running high, the Pirates could battle their way back into the game and the rival Cougars moved on to a dominant 12-2 win.
The Pirates host their final series of the regular season when they play Belmont Abbey starting May 1. They already know they play Francis Marion University in the first round of the PBC tournament, that takes place at Columbus State and starts on May 8.

MetaMask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet provider announced Apple Pay integration to its app and website. While Apple doesn’t directly support crypto payment directly, MetaMask users will be redirected to Wyre, a cryptoexchange that facilitates buying and selling of cryptocurrency, users will now have the option to make the payment via credit or debit card through Apple Pay.
Apple Pay users can deposit a daily maximum of $400 into their wallet using their Visa or Mastercards and the Wyre API.
For the uninitiated, MetaMask is a crypto wallet service provider which allows users to store cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, etc and even NFTs. It allows users to connect to more than 3,700 different decentralized applications and Web 3 services.
The crypto company announced the new slew of updates on Twitter. To add any cryptocurrency, MetaMask charges gas fee as well as its own transaction fees which is 0.875 per cent of the transaction. As per MetaMask, it does not earn anything from the gas fee but only earns from the transaction fee it charges.
It should be noted that to use either Apple Pay platforms you must complete the KYC (know-your-customer) process. The company has also added support for private blockchains. “Some networks allow for gasless transactions (eg private blockchains, or when a project/protocol pays for the gas on your behalf),” the company said on Twitter adding that it now supports these types of transactions.
According to a press release, MetaMask said in March that it surpassed 30 million monthly active users, making it one of the most popular crypto wallets available today.
In other news, MetaMask said it is banning all accounts based on the countries sanctioned by the US government.

SAN FRANCISCO -- For the second straight quarter, LinkedIn saw its stock price soar. On Thursday it released earnings results showing strong growth for the professional social network's talent recruiting product as well as increased traffic on mobile. Shares of the company climbed more than 9 percent in after-hours trading.
The Mountain View, California, company posted revenue of $780 million for the third quarter, up 37 percent year-to-year, and far ahead of analysts' expecations of $755.64 million. Likewise, the company beat analysts' expectations of 46 cents earnings per share and posted 78 cents earnings per share for the third quarter, which ended in September.
“LinkedIn delivered strong results in the third quarter, and recently announced several products focused on delivering increased member and customer value,” CEO Jeff Weiner said in a statement. “Our commitment to investing in our long-term roadmap continues to lay the foundation for future growth of the company.”
Carrying the company during the third quarter was strong growth from its Talent Solutions product, which recruiters use to find qualified candidates. That product saw a 46 percent year-to-year increase and raked in $502 million in revenue for the quarter. Additionally, LinkedIn announced that mobile is growing at "double the rate of overall member activity" and now accounts for 55 percent of the social network's total traffic.
"LinkedIn is firing on all cylinders right now as they are the clear leader in the business networking/social media space," said Matthew Tuttle, portfolio manager at Tuttle Tactical Management. "Anyone around the world who is serious about business networking, uses LinkedIn. That's why they are able to dominate this very lucrative space and that's why they are able to offer premium products and actually charge their members to use their site which bodes well for their bottom line."
Aside from its Talent Solutions product, LinkedIn also saw healthy growth out of its Premium Subcriptions, which contributed $138 million in revenue, up 21 percent year-to-year. Phil Davis, CEO of Philstockworld.com, attributes this growth to a healthy U.S. economy. "Jobs coming back are also a huge help for them as people buy their Premium Subscriptions to network into better jobs and make top-level connections," Davis said.
LinkedIn also announced that Lynda.com, an online learning company that the social network purchased earlier this year for $1.5 billion, is now contributing to the bottomline. Lynda.com brought in $41 million in revenue for the period, its first full quarter since being acquired.
"While hiring continues to be very strong for LinkedIn, the idea of having LinkedIn be a place to learn new skills seems like it's going to be the next great frontier for the social network to continue being an important piece of how we spend our time," said Johnny Won, founder of Hyperstop, a consultancy firm.
In his remarks, CEO Weiner also spoke about LinkedIn's improved Messaging service, which rolled out in early September, saying that the revamped feature has already given a double-digit percentage boost to messages being sent among LinkedIn users.
“The new messaging platform shows LinkedIn continues to think and rethink its feature set and options for user engagement," said James Gellert, CEO of Rapid Ratings, a research and analytics firm. "The prior mail process was a bit clunky, and undoubtedly LinkedIn is shooting to hold users within its walls as long as possible. As LinkedIn continues to make strides into mobile, lightweight messaging is key."
Topping things off, LinkedIn raised its revenue forecast for the full year 2015 from $2.94 billion, as it said in its second quarter earnings, to between $2.975 billion and $2.98 billion. That's ahead of the $2.95 billion analysts were expecting.
“Investors have got to be most pleased because LinkedIn nailed what seems to be the key to the Q3 Big Tech earnings season: guidance," said Kyle Woodley, managing editor at InvestorPlace.com. "Q4 and full-year revenue and earnings projections alike glided past expectations. That’ll have far more effect on whether Friday’s gains stick than the (admittedly impressive) Q3 beats.”
Among the few concerns from LinkedIn's results were that the company continues to lose money, posting a net loss of $41 million for the period. For now, investors are not paying much attention to this detail as the company continues to grow, but it could become a problem down the line.
"LinkedIn is spending money to make it," Woodley said. "Sales and marketing, product development, all of its costs are heading higher. You can brush it off and say, 'Hey, LinkedIn is seeing results,' but the swing to operational losses isn’t exactly a sustainable trend.”
