My Commitment As A Premier Realtor in Park City
While your short-term goal may be selling your home or finding the perfect property to fit your needs, referrals in the real estate industry is the only way to ensure survival. My mission is to highly impress you during the entire process so that you will confidently recommend me for future real estate needs or when family or friends are in need of a real estate professional.
I grew up in Minneapolis, MN and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where I attended Arizona State University and became a CPA, licensed in Arizona. I worked as a CPA with one of the Big Six (at that time) Accounting Firms in Phoenix, prior to moving to Park City in 1989. With that move, I was able to use my accounting and financial background to move into a career as a real estate agent. In 2005, I became the primary sales agent for Glenwild, a private, 200-lot Tom Fazio-designed golf course community, here in Park City. This opportunity allowed me to gain extensive knowledge in golf course communities, as well as selling high-end custom lots and homes.

Quantity and quality of stormwater collected from selected stormwater outfalls at industrial sites, Fort Gordon, Georgia, 2012
An assessment of the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff associated with industrial activities at Fort Gordon was conducted from January through August 2012. The assessment was provided to satisfy the requirements from a general permit that authorizes the discharge of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System from a site associated with industrial activities. The stormwater quantity refers to the runoff discharge at the point and time of the runoff sampling. The study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Army Environmental and Natural Resources Management Office of the U.S. Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon.
Stormwater runoff samples were collected from five stations at four industrial sites, including two landfills (SWR11–1 and SWR11–2) and three heating and cooling sites, SWR11–3, SWR11–4, and SWR11–5. The assessment included the collection of physical properties, such as dissolved oxygen and pH; the detection of suspended materials (total suspended solids, total fixed solids, and total volatile solids), nutrients and organic compounds, and major and trace inorganic compounds (metals); and for the three heating and cooling sites, the detection of volatile and semivolatile organic compounds.
Landfill site SWR11–2 had the greatest total suspended solid concentration (214 milligrams per liter) of all sites and exceeded the daily maximum effluent limit for landfills. Heating and cooling site SWR11–3 had the greatest total suspended solid concentration (169 milligrams per liter), total fixed solids (101 milligrams per liter), and total volatile solids (68 milligrams per liter) when compared to the three heating and cooling sites. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were 1.02 and 0.09, and 1.74 and 0.21 milligrams per liter, respectively, at landfill sites SWR11–1 and SWR11–2. At heating and cooling sites, total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations ranged from 0.53 to 1.08 milligrams per liter and 0.07 to 0.1 milligram per liter, respectively, with the highest concentrations measured at site SWR11–3. Additionally, oil and grease concentrations at all sites were compared to applicable benchmark standards; no sample concentrations exceeded these standards.
The estimated dissolved concentrations of cadmium, lead, nickel, zinc, mercury, and silver, and the total recoverable concentrations of arsenic and selenium were compared to applicable benchmark levels and to acute and chronic effect aquatic-life criteria for further screening purposes. The estimated dissolved zinc concentration (105 micrograms per liter) at site SWR11–3 was the only constituent to exceed a benchmark standard (40 micrograms per liter). Estimated dissolved zinc concentrations at sites SWR11–4 and SWR11–5 exceeded acute and chronic effect aquatic-life criteria. Estimated dissolved concentrations of lead exceeded the chronic effect aquatic-life criteria at all sites and exceeded the acute effect criteria at site SWR11–3. Acute and chronic effect aquatic-life criteria for dissolved cadmium were exceeded at site SWR11–3.
Samples from sites SWR11–3, SWR11–4, and SWR11–5 were analyzed for 83 volatile and semivolatile organic compounds. Eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[ghi]perylene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, chrysene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, phenanthrene, and pyrene, were detected at all three sites. Of the 86 volatile and semivolatile organic compounds that were analyzed in stormwater samples from heating and cooling sites, 15 (18 percent) were detected at site SWR11–3, 12 (14 percent) were detected at site SWR11–4, and 17 (20 percent) were detected at site SWR11–5.

Delta DIAView SCADA Software for Air Compressor Systems Enhances Efficiency with Real-time Monitoring and Control
With current trends in smart manufacturing, traditional factories are integrating multiple network technologies to link personnel, equipment, information, and processes together to form Internet of Machines (IoM) or machine-to-machine communication for smart factories. Under the concept of IoM, machines in smart factories are monitored via host PCs for operation processes and to reduce equipment failure or idle equipment, which provides operators with situation control at anytime and anywhere.
Recently, Delta successfully provided a customer in mainland China with a total air compressor system solution by using the DIAView SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to collect all equipment data and monitor real-time equipment operation. In addition SCADA offers efficient alarm management, historical data and other data analysis tools to enhance air compressor operation and management with greater efficiency.
Air compressors are widely used in factories to provide compressed air for machines, yet traditional maintenance methods are time consuming and rely heavily on manpower to examine each machine one by one. The amount of air flow also varies among air compressors which causes power consumption to fluctuate and results equipment failure since it is extremely difficult for equipment operators to monitor machine life or energy consumption.
Delta offers the customer a machine-to-machine solution for air compressor with IIoT technology to achieve highly efficient manufacturing processes. The solution adopts Delta’s programmable logic controller DVP-SE Series to determine the priority of air compressors for specific air flow amounts as well as data gathering. All of this information is quickly transmitted via the industrial Ethernet switch DVS Series to SCADA for operators to obtain real-time operation information and adjust parameters via remote control. In this case, the Delta SCADA is customized with a power consumption priority mode and a machine life priority mode. The power consumption priority mode allows air compressors with the least power consumption to operate first to reduce equipment repair; while machine life priority mode ensures all machines are equipped with longer life expectancy via machine-to-machine networks.
Delta’s DIAView SCADA allows customers to monitor real-time equipment operation anytime and at any location. The software also provides highly convenient alarm notification by automatically sending messages to relevant operators for abnormal machine functions. In addition, operators can easily collect information on air compressor operations via SCADA’s diversified data visualization tools, including graphs, bar graphs or forms for important energy consumption or a machine lifespan data display.
Delta’s machine-to-machine solution for air compressors adopts IIoT and advanced technology, which allows customers to monitor and control multiple air compressors with great flexibility and converts traditional ways of monitoring towards smart manufacturing.

When my Singer 8280 is taking some time out (it’s broken… and is currently being repaired), I’ve been getting to know my Vintage Singer 99k. The first project that I’ve made with my vintage little beauty was this dropped waist dress.
As soon as I bought this stretchy polka dot cotton, I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it – a semi-fitted dropped waist dress. I love the end result! The pale pink polka dots (hard to tell from the pics), the silhouette, the comfy stretchy fabric – what’s not to like!

American Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) has achieved ATEX certification of its Explosion Proof Pressure Transmitters for Class I Zone 0 Exd hazardous locations. The added approvals enhance the ability for equipment manufacturers to specify AST pressure transducers as the sensors can now operate in both North America and Europe.
The AST4530 submersible pressure transducer from American Sensors Technologies has been certified by CSA International to Class I Div 1, Groups C and D for use inintrinsically safe areas with an approved barrier.
American Sensor Technologies (AST) now offers its pressure transmitters with high pressure process connections using 316L stainless steel to enable users to integrate products that require liquid or gas compatible with 316L stainless steel, such as hydrogen, natural gas, or water.
It's old the 'two birds, one stone' idea: New sensors measure both pressure and temperature from a single process point. This dual output configuration reduces process penetration points and leaks that are important considerations in critical systems such as hydrogen, oxygen, heavy oil processing, hydraulics, analyzers, offshore, pipelines and ammonia systems.

There are certain people who send positive vibes through you from the minute you start a conversation with them. I just spent an hour talking to one of those people: Carmina Coello. From the beginning of our conversation, I felt positive energy building up inside of me. When we finished our conversation, I immediately started typing- hoping to capture some of her spirit to share with you.
Carmina is a single mom of twins. She has been raising her son and daughter by herself since they were 4-years old…they are now 12. When she was divorced, she went back to work as a teacher and found herself struggling to balance the responsibilities of motherhood with a job outside the home. She had the opportunity to go into a family business that her parents had started when she was a young girl. The job is taking care of mentally disabled adults.
She shares her home with 6 mentally disabled women whom she considers part of her family. She gets them up each morning, helps them get dressed, prepares a healthy breakfast and packs 8 lunches. Then she drives each of her family members to a job that is provided by the state after she drops her twins at school. Around 2:30 she starts the process of picking everyone up and fills their afternoon with excercise, art and other outings. Her 12-year-old twins particpate in the afternoon activities as well. In addition to the daily routine, Carmina also takes her 6 family members and 2 children on short trips to Palm Springs, Las Vegas and other places of interest. She does this on her own and has to prepare for every situation- this is no small feat.
While the story above is inspirational, there is more! Carmina is working to raise money to open a shelter for homeless and destitute women in the South Bay. Carmina is a devout Christian. One day she felt a strong feeling that told her christianity is more than going to church- it is taking action. Two hours after this strong feeling came over her, she received a call from her friend Jozanne Hutchinson who had been looking for a way to help all of the homeless women she encountered- especially those who had children. Jozanne explained her struggle to find a way to create opportunities and provide support to get these women off the street. When she called Carmina- she knew that this was the “action” that was calling her.
While the project is still in it’s beginning stages, the fact that these two women find time in their busy schedule to raise money for such a worthy cause is amazing. Carmina credits her endless energy to her balanced lifestyle: eating healthy, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep and focusing on all she has been blessed with. She refuses to dwell on those things that didn’t turn out exactly has she had planned. On the days that she feels exhausted, she relies on her faith to inspire her.
The fact that these women are taking steps to help others who need it so dearly is quite an inspiration. Carmina is an amazing person who exudes warmth and positive energy. I am certain that Carmina and Jozanne will accomplish their goal to provide shelter and opportunity for change to these women who need it so badly.
An event has been planned to raise awareness and money for the homeless shelter she hopes to establish. The event is a concert/dance on June 28th at the James Armstrong Theatre in Torrance. If you would like to support Carmina and Jozanne’s effort to raise money, you can donate money or buy a ticket by following the link: http://sonsplash.eventbrite.com

There is growing evidence that where we live impacts our cognitive health - issues such as air pollution and social isolation have the potential to affect our ability to think clearly, learn and remember. However, there was little awareness found amongst local policy-makers and implementers about how to support cognitive health in neighbourhood planning, in new research published by the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre at LSE and the Dementia Research Centre at University College London (UCL).
The new research suggests that those working in local public health and urban planning roles should ensure more meaningful engagement with communities in order to create neighbourhoods that support healthy cognitive functioning, and to support the prevention of cognitive diseases such as dementia in later life.
Funded by the Health Foundation, researchers spoke with members of the general public and representative groups from chosen communities, as well as people working in public health and urban policy. Cognitive health, sometimes known as brain health, was defined to participants in the study as the ability to think clearly, learn and remember, and was identified as important for skills such as planning, organising, concentrating, problem solving, creativity and judgement.
Communities identified neighbourhood-related factors including pollution, traffic and noise, social and cultural interactions, access to nature and green spaces, and the upkeep and safety of public spaces and buildings as influences on their cognitive health.
Participants were able to identify direct effects of their neighbourhood on their brain functioning, and could suggest ways their own neighbourhoods could be improved to support cognitive health.
The research emphasises that solutions include better consultation and involvement in policy and planning for communities, improved support for community interactions, green and clean public spaces and active and public transport, and education on cognition and brain health.
Professor Martin Knapp, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy and LSE lead for the project Novel methods to explore the value of cognitive health in a place, emphasised that: “The cognitive damage from air pollution is insidious but largely overlooked. Engaging policy communities in this area is so important, as demonstrated by our research findings.”
Dr Madeleine Stevens, Assistant Professorial Research Fellow and lead author of the article, said: “Members of the public and policymakers mainly agree about how neighbourhoods could be improved to support better cognitive health. However, we found that people often do not feel listened to by policymakers. We suggest that local people could be more effectively involved in developing less polluted, greener, cleaner and more socially integrated neighbourhoods that support better public health, including cognitive health.”

All you really need to know is some of the basics characteristic that are required to make your Custom Cake Boxes sturdy and long lasting. Here is the list of some that I have included in below for your convenience.
- Look for the cardboard. They should not only be cut properly but should be manufactured with the perfect cardboard that could handle pressure.
- Lamination of food grade material needs to be done so that your food or edible object does not get damaged by the cardboard.
- If you are looking for the personalized cake boxes, make sure you use ink friendly cardboard for the manufacturing.
- Cake boxes wholesale must be sturdy enough that they could handle the tiers of cake.
- The die cut needs to be into one another which will help in supporting edges and keep them on positions.
- Make sure the custom cake boxes are either self-lock in the manufacturing or six corners styled. You can look on the website of Printcosmo to search for boxes by style.
Personalized cake boxes:

You can get personalized cake boxes with the different colors and combinations. You can always print the things that impact your customers.

It is not necessary that you only get these custom cake boxes done in such a manner. You can customize the cupcakes with some art work or some kind of valentine’s special and then put them in the box. All you really need is some creative instincts to execute the ides. Similar is for the other events. Some examples are mentioned below.

So, if you are willing to get these birthday cake boxes to be exactly as that of the cake and since these customized cakes have a lot of things on the top as well.

Can you believe it’s under 2 weeks ‘til Christmas? This year has flown by so fast! Even though we get busy with family and friend catch up’s and attending many over-catered yet delicious dinners, it definitely is the most wonderful time of the year. And what better time to spoil our beloved fur-kids! There are always great opportunities to spoil them with new toys, beds, treats, fun visits to the river or beach and even decking them out in adorable little Christmas outfits! The biggest opportunity our pets have to be spoilt is on Christmas day when we are all gathered for the Christmas day lunch! There’s usually meat, roast veggies, salads, gravy and sauces, and who could forget Mum’s mouthwatering Christmas pudding!
Even though our pets give us those puppy-dog eyes, or use their seductive affection and purring techniques, we should restrain from feeding our beloved animals food from our plates. Some foods can be very rich and fatty, like meat from the BBQ, fatty cuts of meat and marrow bones. This can cause them to develop a condition called Pancreatitis. Every year our loving vets see many pets around Christmas time because of this condition, and it’s usually caused by them sneaking something off the dinner table! Even though it may seem like a cute or nice idea at the time, Pancreatitis can be fatal so must be treated very seriously.
So what exactly is pancreatitis I can hear you ask? Pancreatitis is the term for inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that works to help your pets’ metabolise sugars and produce insulin. It produces enzymes that are vital for digesting nutrients. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, digestive enzymes that are normally inactive until they reach the small intestine become active in the pancreas instead—resulting in pain and swelling as the pancreas actually begins to digest itself. Like we said, it’s a very serious condition!
Now we can sense you may be feeling slightly worried by this, and wonder what to look out for to know if your pet may be suffering from Pancreatitis.
Symptoms of the condition include:
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal Pain
- Swollen abdomen
- Abnormal posture; arching of the back
So now you know the symptoms, we guess you’re wondering now if there’s a treatment option for them. Fortunately there is, but it does rely on the condition being diagnosed early, and your beloved pet receiving treatment promptly. Diagnosis is made on clinical signs, but can also be confirmed with blood tests. X-rays may also be performed to check the internal organs and to rule out other concerns such as a foreign body (to read about a real-life case, click on the link to read about Willis the Garbage Guts). The treatment is basically supportive care while they recover- they will be given pain relief, anti-vomiting and antibiotic medications, and will usually need to be put onto IV fluids and remain in hospital. They may only have to stay in for a couple days and then be maintained on medications at home, but in severe cases they may require to stay up to a week or more.
Even though this is a serious condition, there are simple ways to avoid having to bring your furbabies into the clinic!
- Avoid high-fat diets.
- Avoid giving your dog table scraps, especially if they aren’t used to eating people food.
- Don’t let your dog have access to garbage
- Bake your own treats! That way you can give them something to eat while you enjoy your Christmas feast! Have a look at this website to find 25 Healthy Puppy treats! https://www.puppyleaks.com/simple-dog-treat-recipes/ and for your cat https://www.primepetinsurance.com.au/blog/cat-care/12-homemade-cat-treat-recipes
Basically, try and turn a blind eye to the puppy eyes your pets give you, because we all know they will try to make you feel guilty and give you a treat from the table! Even though you may feel terrible for not giving in and giving them something from the table, you can feel good knowing you will help prevent them from a potentially fatal condition.
On that note, we all wish you and your pets a very Merry Christmas, and a fun yet safe New Year!

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a northern New Jersey man has been charged in a recent string of armed robberies at hotels in the state.
Tremone Burnett of Orange was charged Tuesday with six counts of robbery and a weapons offense. He could face up to life in prison if convicted on all counts.
The 42-year-old Burnett was already facing related charges brought by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.
Prosecutors say the armed robberies occurred in May and June at hotels in Carteret, Lebanon, Newark, Rockaway, and Secaucus.
During each robbery, the assailant pointed a handgun at a hotel employee and, in some instances, tied the victim’s hands and feet. The robber also stole uncashed employee checks, safe deposit boxes, cash, an ATM, and a personal credit card.

TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
Read it at CNN
First the McCain campaign pulled out of Michigan. Now CNN’s John King is reporting another retreat. “While Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado are still officially listed as McCain target states, two top strategists and advisers tell CNN that the situation in those states looks increasingly bleak,” King writes. King continues, “‘Gone’ was the word one top McCain insider used to describe those three states.” Polls have shown a relatively tight race in Colorado, but King’s source said the Obama campaign’s turnout operation was superior. If McCain concedes those three states (all won by Bush in 2004), he would have to win at least one Kerry state, like Pennsylvania.

Roundabout: Love beneath the gentle shade of the chameli
Poet and anthologist Abhay K celebrates love with the unmistakable touch of the subcontinent in a new anthology of great Indian poems
Turning the 225 pages of the mint-fresh anthology of Great Indian Love Poems, I wonder where I should begin. The enticing flowery jacket of this collection described as a ‘ratnakosha’ has many delights to offer from ancient times to the present. Flipping the pages back and forth, my eyes suddenly stop at a poem, titled The Saviours, and heart and memory fill with soft fragrance.
Exquisitely translated from Urdu into English by Pritish Nandy, it is the eternal romantic poem by the people’s poet Makhdoom Mohiuddin (1908-1969), a Marxist activist rebelling against the nizam of the erstwhile state of Hyderabad. Yes, the same poet whom late Irfaan Khan played with elan, I recall, while reading this translation by Nandy a long time ago probably in The Illustrated Weekly of India. But right now the original lyrics fill the senses: Ik chameli ke mandve tale. Maikade se zara door uss modh par, Do badan pyar ki aag mein jal gaye, Ik chameli ke mandve tale (Under the gentle shade of the chameli, at the crossing just beyond the tavern, the two of them, they were consumed by the fire of love).
And so in the trance of the four-letter word one moves from one verse to the other put together with care by Abhay K (40). He has already brought out eight volumes of verse, a memoir and had earlier edited an anthology of Great Indian Poems, gleaned from different languages, once again by Bloomsbury. Talking about the recent labour of love, he says: “What makes Indian love poems different and unique from love poems written in other countries and civilisations? Blurring of boundaries of devotional and sensual love is one of the key dimensions of Indian love poetry where divine love transcends sensual love”. Elaborating on this thought, he quotes a verse by Akka Mahadevi, the 12th century poet of Kannada, who expresses love thus: “I am on fire with heartfelt desires, Lord cut through the greed in my heart, show your way out, Lord, white as jasmine”.
Indian love poetry is indeed scented with chameli, motia, gulab and many other flowers, seasons, plants and pigments, mountains and rivers, the moon and the stars, winds and rain, thus making it a very part of nature and creation from where it stems. Interestingly, the poems written in Sanskrit outnumber the poems written in all the other languages of the subcontinent. And erotica and love are at their best is to be found in the Sanskrit poems. Kalidasa of the Meghdoot fame is one of the greatest apostles of love that ranges from the physical to the spiritual and Abhay translates his few delicious lines, thus: Craving sweet nectar, you kissed a freshly bloomed mango bud once, could you forget her bee, burying yourself in a lotus?
The range of this anthology covers many centuries, many languages, many poets: all strung together in the beads of love. Many cherished poems spring out like flowers from the pages as sweet remembrance or a tug at the heart, be it Punjabi poet Amrita Pritam’s final love poem to her lover Imroz: I will meet you yet again.
One of Kamla Das’s creations too finds its place in the anthology, in which she describes love as a losing battle: How can my love hold him when the other, Flaunts a gaudy lust and its lioness, To his beast? Men are worthless, to trap them, Use the cheapest bait of all but never Love, which in a woman must mean tears, And a silence in the blood.
A large number of poems by contemporary poets are included in the volume and many of them for very good reading, more so in times when love is often lost in the hubbub of much else. The well-known poets in this section include Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Ranjit Hoskote, AJ Thomas, Sudeep Sen, Nabina Das, Mamang Dai, Rochelle Potkar and Arundhathi Subramniam, of course, who says in her delightful poem Shorthand: The body speaks shorthand, coded yet blazingly simple, To hold each other all night, is all we want, and still we sit apart, tell stories, not trusting the only art, that matters right now — stenography.
In shorthand: Here is a book which one would like to linger over slowly taking one poem at a time and savour the different textures, words and thoughts that lead to the many-splendoured thing called love. Of course, the summing up is done by the ghazal of the inimitable Mirza Ghalib, Hazaron khwaishein aisi: Thousands of desires, each one could have emptied my breath, So many of my wishes came through but in the end, so few!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their second child, a baby girl called Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, one week ago. While Meghan and Harry stated that they sought permission from the Queen before giving their daughter a nickname, a palace insider has recently told the BBC that they never did.
Rebecca English, a royal expert, is now stepping out, claiming that the royal family is now “standing up” to Meghan and Harry in their feud.
Join The True Defender Telegram Chanel Here: https://t.me/TheTrueDefender
According to The Express, she remarked of the palace’s response, “Absolutely, it is incredibly significant.”
“The Sussexes have responded to the BBC report with a sharp retort. First, through a spokesman who stated that the Queen was the first person they contacted and that they would not have proceeded with the name unless the Queen was supportive.”
“However, they issued a legal threat through their attorneys, labeling the BBC item was defamatory,” she continued. “We don’t know whether this was a planned release by Buckingham Palace or the Royal Family, or if it was a renegade courtier. When I approached the Palace about it, no one there slammed it or disagreed with what the BBC had to say, so the report has a lot of credibilities. The BBC is unwavering in its support for its story. Who knows if this will work?”
When she was a youngster, the Queen was given the nickname “Lilibet” since that was how she called her name because she couldn’t speak “Elizabeth.” Her grandfather, King George V, and her late husband, Prince Philip, who died barely two months ago, also used the nickname. The Queen is likely “puzzled” by the decision to name her great-grandchild Lilibet, according to renowned royal expert Ingrid Seward.

It relieves stress.
It’s always been somewhat of a cliché that jazz music is for “cool” people – you know, sitting carefree on a barstool off in the corner, wearing sunglasses and a Kangol beret. As Dr. Klemm writes, however, there’s also a great deal of truth behind that understanding.
According to the University of Nevada, Reno’s counseling services,music and stress levels go hand in hand. While faster tempos can get you up and going, slower ones – such as the standard tempo of jazz music – will soothe both the mind and body.
Klemm makes a powerful connection between stress level and one’s ability to study, too, noting how stress is the “arch-enemy of memory ability.”
Following this logic, by listening to jazz music while studying – and lowering your stress levels in the process – you’ll also find yourself much more likely to retain the information that you’re attempting to learn.
It stimulates the mind.
There’s almost like a “monkey see, monkey do,” relationship that your brain will follow under the influence of jazz. Because of jazz’s, at times, herky jerky, pulsating, rhythmic patterns – your brain tends to mimic this improvisation, and we’ll see that through increased neural stimulation.
In a separate study, conducted by Dr. Charles Limb of Johns Hopkins University, brain scans of jazz players show the impact of this style of music on the brain.
As Lauran Neergaard of the Associated Press writes, new research now shows that the back-and-forth playing style of music affects the brain, much in the way that spoken language does.
This characteristic of jazz music activated the regions of the brain correlated with the syntax of language, which acted almost as exercise for this feature of cognition.
It boosts creativity.
According to Beth Belle Cooper, on the blog buffer social, ambient noise improves creativity. As explained further by Cooper, not only the type of music you listen to – but also the volume at which you listen to it – is critical.
Cooper states that moderate volume levels are the most optimal for mental function, saying “moderate noise levels increase processing difficulty, which promotes abstract processing, leading to higher creativity.”
In short, by forcing our brain to do extra “work,” but not too much work, we will ultimately find our brains working at maximum efficiency – and think further outside of the box, while doing so. This is where the creativity portion of the relationship comes into play.
Another report, done by Katrina Schwartz of Mind/Shift, provides additional ways to boost creativity through jazz music. According to Schwartz, creativity is not a black or white, rigid, character trait – in fact, it can be developed over time.
She uses a practice-based analogy to describe the attribute, crediting how “the more you do it, the better you’ll become at it,” school of thought.
Schwartz also makes mention of the JHU study conducted by Dr. Limb, citing his suggestion that jazz music – and art in general – is the best way to train our brains to think creatively.
If you guys have a test coming up, or just want to be more creative – and more inspired – I recommend all of you download Coltrane’s entire discography, and start there. I have a feeling you’ll enjoy studying a lot more.

Don’t lose out on today’s story.
Nothing Left to Lose
[Drama] [Sad] • 6,367 words
Some things can’t be changed.
Starlight believes otherwise.
FROM THE CURATORS: One might be forgiven for thinking that after nine years of MLP (and fanfic), there’s nothing left to explore on such well-trodden ground as changeling redemption — but there are still stories on the topic which are worthy of turning heads. “Though the show seems to have moved past it as a possibility, the question of whether and how Queen Chrysalis could be reformed alongside the other changelings still lingers in the fandom’s consciousness,” Present Perfect said in his nomination. “In comes Freglz, with a solidly reasoned story that combines the finales of seasons 5 and 6 and isn’t afraid to let the question hang.”
And while the slow burn of the story caused some debate, ultimately this won us over with its quality. “It could be streamlined a bit, but all in all I was impressed with the prose,” RBDash47 said. “It flowed well with decent rhythm, and I enjoyed the imagery.” Even that languid writing had its defenders: “I actually appreciated the deliberate pacing,” FanOfMostEverything said. “This is as much a therapy session as a diplomatic negotiation.” And beyond that we found quality throughout the fic. “There’s a lot to love here, such as the characterization and the subtle hints of world building, and the overall theme resonated well with me,” Soge said.
Indeed, the deft character work was our most common praise. “Good character work swims this story to victory,” Present Perfect said, while RBDash47 added: “Where it really shines is the back-and-forth between the two speaking characters, the reformed and the yet-to-be. There’s real tension there, and I could really feel for Starlight.” Ultimately, it was that delicate maneuvering which we found most exemplary about the story. “Starlight’s walking a razor’s edge between Chrysalis lashing out and fleeing forever, and her need to pay it forward works fantastically as a motivation,” FanOfMostEverything said. “Chrysalis is a highlight as well. The tension between her self-image of the sole provider to her children and the reality of her pride driving her from everything she’s ever known is what’s keeping Starlight’s tightrope taut. And the open ending is the best way it could have gone; a being as set in her ways as Chrysalis will need some time to mull this over.”
Read on for our author interview, in which Freglz discusses rotten acorns, spoiled broth, and murderous fungus.
Give us the standard biography.
Nothing fancy. I’m twenty-two years old, living in Western Australia, studying at what Americans might call a “community college” to be a library clerk/technician after I failed the last two units of my university degree, and realised that even if I did pass, I’d be getting a certificate that says I’m way more qualified than I actually am.
I discovered the show about mid-2017, where I happened upon the tail end of Slice of Life while surfing through channels while bored out of my mind one late afternoon. Seemed interesting enough, so I thought I’d give another episode a shot if I could be bothered in the future. Cut to some time later, and I happen across an explosion, followed by something hurtling through the air in a smoking trail to crash into a mountain. Zoom in, it’s Twilight Sparkle, quickly followed by a giant, horned monster of some sort who literally headbutts her through to the other side.
Needless to say, I was pretty speechless, and sat in awe and watched the rest of the episode. This was followed by the Season 5 premiere (in Australia, reruns are common, so I probably wasn’t seeing this at the same time it was rolling out in the US), and that was followed by the next episode and the next, and I was hooked before I knew it.
It’s worth mentioning that before this point, I tended to avoid anything and everything pony-related. I didn’t hate it, or the people who claimed to be bronies, pegasisters or otherwise fans of the show outside the target demographic, I just didn’t care for it and didn’t want it on my radar. Of course, considering how far I’ve come since then, I have to wonder what all the fuss on my end was about: the show and fans are pretty rad. For the most part.
Let’s just say there are some bad eggs, and I was one of them not too long ago. I don’t believe I’m one anymore, and I hope to never be one again, but that doesn’t change the fact I’ve done things I’m not proud of, and betrayed the trust of others.
But that’s enough of that. I don’t know how I got into the fanfiction-reading side of things on YouTube, but I got into actually reading the stories from there. And after blitzing through a surprising amount of them until the end of the year, I thought that maybe I could have a crack at my own.
During the 2017 Christmas break, while I, my mother and brother went over to Melbourne, Hobart and then Launceston to stay with my uncle, I smashed out a decent chunk of an adventure, which I posted soon after I made my account on Fimfiction. I’ve since taken it down after realising just how poorly it was planned, written and promoted, but I’ve never been able to reach the same level of output. I guess that’s the price of getting better at writing.
Speaking of which, writing didn’t come out of nowhere. I enjoyed writing stories as far back as primary; won second place in a local council’s contest about some silly Paul Jennings/Andy Griffiths-inspired comedy involving chocolate milk coming to life. There was another phase I went through in high school, where I couldn’t get enough of dinosaurs, and wrote a bunch of short stories about them and that we might never know how intelligent they were because all the evidence is destroyed or fossilised.
They might be pretty terrible in retrospect, and I’m not brave enough to check.
So, I’ve gone through phases before. MLP might be one of them — and Mum is not thrilled about that at all — but I’m doubtful. I think it’s here to stay. I hope so, actually, because I basically just got here, and I refuse to believe the fandom will die just because the show and Bronycon have ended.
Oh, yeah, I was there for the last Bronycon too. It was my first time travelling international, and let me tell you, a road trip from the west coast to east might be worth it if you weren’t on a time limit. I met people I’d always wanted to meet, met others I didn’t know I needed to meet, and overall had a blast, even though I ended up impulse-buying way more than I should’ve on such a tight budget. Seriously, I don’t even like Fallout: Equestria that much, so why the hell did I get the extremely limited leatherback edition priced at $175 USD?
I have my regrets from that visit too, for all the good I had. I have trouble letting go of guilt. It sticks with me for a long, long time. Maybe it never goes away. I don’t know. I’m planning to meet a psychologist soon to help me process things, because I’ve been getting plenty of mood swings lately and I’ve been stuck at a baseline state of dejection for the past three months. And it isn’t because of social distancing, I know that much.
Is that everything? I think that’s everything. I’m a weird, directionless, sometimes optimistic, mostly pessimistic, incessantly apologetic individual with a decent sense of humour if you catch me in the right mood. And writing stories about ponies is a hobby that means a lot to me, and I hope my enthusiasm for it never goes away.
How did you come up with your handle/penname?
Applejack is the best of the Main 6.
Applejack has freckles.
Freckles = Freglz.
I’ll be here all week.
Who’s your favorite pony?
That’s a difficult question to answer, honestly, although I tout Applejack being the best. There’s a case to be made for just about all of them with a clearly defined personality, which I suppose eliminates a huge amount of the background cast. That includes Fleetfoot, unfortunately, as much as I loved writing her character in another story of mine.
I say that Applejack is the best, but that’s in the sense that she has the least amount of flaws; there’s a reason why she’s jokingly counted among the background ponies, because there’s nothing much going on with her in the show. But that’s the point in my eyes: I’ve always seen her as the big sister of the group, spitting straight facts with more tact than Rainbow seems she can ever manage, even if she’s a bit stubborn. And stubbornness is already a fairly common trait among the main cast.
Speaking of Rainbow, she’s one of the more interesting characters, since there’s a lot about her character to unpack and dissect, and a lot of flaws to work through. From a writer’s perspective, she’s ripe with possibilities.
Side note: super glad AppleDash is canon now, or at least as canon as LyraBon was until they officially got married. I could go on and on about how they work as a couple and how it might have started, but that’s a rabbit hole we’d want to stay out of.
But then there’s Fluttershy, who I’m sure just about everyone can’t help but love in some way, and Rarity and Twilight and the occasionally a bit too “lol random” Pinkie, and Luna and Celestia, Spitfire, Big Mac, Sunburst, Starlight, Maud, Marble, Limestone, Lyra, Roseluck, Coco, Autumn Blaze (non-ponies count, right?), the spectacularly overlooked and unfortunately missed opportunity that was Zecora, and a whole heap of others. DON’T MAKE ME DECIDE!
Maybe I’ll just play it safe and go with Derpy.
What’s your favorite episode?
Off the top of my head, it’s a three-way tie, for different reasons.
If we’re counting two-parters as a single episode, the first I can think of would be the first episode I ever properly watched, and immediately made me interested in the show: the Season 4 finale, Twilight’s Kingdom. Although it isn’t my absolute bestest, most favouritest episode of MLP in existence, it’s the one that I first watched, and subsequently what ensnared me into watching more.
I needed to know what happened next after such a massive battle — such a huge reversal of what I thought this show would pull off. I needed to know what led up to this conflict, and whether it had been foreshadowed at all (to my disappointment, it really wasn’t, but still, VIOLENCE). I needed to process what I had just seen, and came to the conclusion that I had to see it again. It’s one I’d happily watch anytime because it kickstarted my sharp descent into the wonderful pool of degeneracy that is this fandom.
The second, The Perfect Pear. I like a refreshing and authentic-feeling take in romance as much as the next person — part of the reason why I wrote a romance of my own is because it was hard to find a story that would scratch that particular itch — but sometimes, adorable whimsy is just as good. And although we’ll never know what actually happened to them in the end, learning the story of how Pear Butter and Bright met was, dare I say, heartwarming. If only they knew how tall their children would grow.
The third has to be Slice of Life. Now, am I aware that it’s just an episode completely dedicated to fan service? Yes, of course, and I love it for that, but I also appreciate it because, for once, the main cast aren’t the central focus of the story. Don’t get me wrong, I like who we’re familiar with, but it’s refreshing when the same characters we’ve watched develop for almost nine years aren’t what the world revolves around.
What do you get from the show?
Joy. Most often a genuine laugh. Twenty-minute examples on what works and doesn’t work in terms of comedy and general life and friendship lessons. Despair over lost opportunities and lore we’ll never see fully fleshed out. The constant, shameful challenge of not looking at a single butt in literally every episode ever.
And the unquenchable desire to write about it all.
The show, that is. The butts are a matter of continual internal debate and mixed feelings.
What do you want from life?
To be better. To be successful. To be happy with myself.
I’m working on all three. I don’t know how well they’re coming along.
Why do you write?
Because original fiction is hard, and I like horses a bit too much.
Joking aside, if we’re talking about why I write in general, it’s because I feel that writing is a legitimate way of entertaining people, and that stories can convey important messages if we want them to. I wish I could write original fiction, and I have ideas for stories that stand on their own, but the MLP universe, specifically FiM, is too fascinating for me not to write about it. It has the board and pieces, as well as plenty of guidelines, yet you can make the rules and determine how the games play out.
Writing is fun. Writing is frustrating. Writing is a waste of my time that could be better spent on other, more earthly concerns, and I should get my head out of the clouds and focus on the real world more. But I can’t. I owe it to myself and anyone who’s interested to think of plots the show might never have considered. To explore lands and cultures that never saw enough development besides their unsatisfying first appearance. To flesh out characters and extrapolate on their flaws in a world where prophecy is a certainty and magic shapes the course of nature.
Or maybe you just like the idea of sapient equines rutting each other silly, sometimes with the aid of another species. Who am I to judge? I’m just as guilty.
But there are aspects of this universe I wish the show had expanded upon. That being said, it might’ve lost its original whimsy in the process, and I’m sure that’s something no one would’ve liked. That’s what fanfiction is for: to share these ideas you have with the same audience, if they’re willing to read it.
The sense of pride and accomplishment you get from a finished product is also nice, and the praise from others is icing on the cake. One mistake I’ve made is letting that icing become the cake itself, and I’ve let down people because of it. I’m glad that I’ve learned my lesson, but I should’ve known better in the first place, and I’m not happy that learning my lesson has come at such a steep cost.
What advice do you have for the authors out there?
I’ve been told by a few people that I’m still an amateur, and sometimes I took it poorly because I’d asked for their help, which left me questioning my worth as a writer. But the more I’ve written, and the more writers I’ve interacted with and whose works I’ve read, I feel that I’ve come to an understanding of sorts:
You’re never perfect.
You might think you are, that you’re the pinnacle of your writing talent, but you never will be. We slip and slide between what we think works, and we might suddenly decide that we don’t like we’ve been doing for ages up to this point.
Perhaps you’re improving, perhaps you’re sinking into a comfortable pit of mediocrity, but you’re always, always changing, because every step you take is a step in one direction or another. You decide what that direction is.
Take everyone’s opinion as an opinion, not a fact, even if they’re generally well-respected. Spelling and grammar have rules, but writing doesn’t, though some methods work more than others. If someone deconstructs your work more than they offer constructive advice, take what they say with a handful of salt, not just a grain. And as a rule of thumb, feel completely free to ignore someone who says that your story must be this way or that. Nobody is an absolute authority on anything.
Improving the narrative you want to tell is good. Imposing a different one on it is bad.
If you want to write a story with a message behind it, sit down and plot that sucker out.
Never neglect character and thematic depth in favour of “coolness”. For example, I think that those who are into Warhammer Fantasy and 40k (of which I’m not, but screw Age of Sigmar) can agree the aesthetic may be neat, and the game may be fun, but barely anyone collects and paints the miniatures because the heroes have personable and relatable backstories and internal conflicts. Heck, the entire extent of any Greenskin hero’s lore is “this murderous mass of bipedal fungus eviscerated a hundred odd gits in a cool way”.
It works for Warhammer because it’s a physical medium by and large, but you don’t have miniatures to lure people in with. What you need, as a writer, is a promise. Tempt the reader with what they can expect — if it’s a cute, fluffy cuddlefic where the sole purpose is meant to make them feel warm and cared for, that should be obvious — and then keep them hooked by writing in a way that compels them to read more. To know these characters better. To find the next piece in the puzzle.
I don’t know if I’ve gotten to that point yet. I’d like to think so, but I often skim over my own work when reading it again because I’m bored with it by the time I finish. But there are stories and chapters of my own that I reread from time to time, out of what I suppose counts counts for self-respect and enjoyment, so perhaps I’m closer than I give myself credit for. Not that getting Nothing Left to Lose into the Royal Canterlot Library means anything.
What drew you to the piece of Plainoasis’s artwork that inspired “Nothing Left to Lose”?
Do you ever see an image that makes you stop and wonder what the story behind it is?
That’s what drew me to it. And when I enquired some lore buffs about the canonical origin of the changelings, I learned that the comics show that Chrysalis and her brood were spawned from a tree growing in a pond of toxic substances that sprouted from a rotten acorn, or something. Just goes to show how much I care for lore, huh?
Anyway, without consulting Plain, there was no way I could guarantee that what they drew was Starlight and Chrysalis standing by the actual tree from which the latter was born, but I knew that they were talking, and I had to ask myself what they were talking about. What brought them together. Why they aren’t fighting like I’m sure Chrysalis would’ve loved to after the Season 7 finale. What the tone of their conversation would be, and how it relates to the image.
I’m not not normally inspired by works of art to write a story based on them, but this was a special case, and all I’ll say about a potential sequel is that its inspiration comes from plenty of sources — some art, some fiction — and would feature the vengeance as a villain’s downfall, but not as we might be used to.
What was it about the story that kept it “on the backburner” for “close to a few months”?
I lied. Checking the dates, it was way more than a few months: it was eight, give or take a day or two. I got the idea for it as I was finishing an unrelated one-shot, but as the overarching plot for the prequel to that one-shot started taking shape, I found myself prioritising that over something I didn’t have too much enthusiasm for.
In short, Nothing Left to Lose wasn’t where all my time and effort went, nor was it the most exciting for me to write. I promised myself that I’d write a chapter per week for the other story, which I was enjoying the heck out of, and that came at the cost of all my other creative works. It cut into my university studies too, which was irresponsible of me, but I quietly chipped away at Nothing until it was finished, and then I had to wait for everyone whom I asked to read it… to read it.
If someone expresses willingness, I don’t want to cut them loose. I cast my net wide, they said yes at different times, so I wound up reeling in five. Too many cooks spoil the broth, but none of them were all that uppity about the direction of the piece, or how it was written, so I’m thankful for their input and respect. The unfortunate reality, however, is that I felt obliged to wait until all of them finished going through it before posting. That was the last hurdle. But it got there in the end, and it surprised me by reaching high in the feature box, both SFW and NSFW.
Do you agree with Starlight that her motives here are selfish?
I like that you’ve made a distinction between me as a writer and the character I’m writing.
I believe they’re selfish to an extent. At this point in the story, Chrysalis is currently the last remaining at-large villain in the world, who happens to be the one major obstacle Starlight overcame, but never properly dealt with one way or another. It isn’t selfish to want the best for someone, but it is selfish to want them to become a better version of themselves so that you can feel a burden lifted.
The redemption of Chrysalis would be for the good of Equestria, and so the needs of the many outweigh the needs (and desires) of the few, but Starlight is still trying to convince/coerce her into changing her nature. Most people don’t like having to have that kind of conversation, and I think Starlight, particularly in this context, would be one of them. She’s gotten better at feeling more confident in herself and less guilty over her past, which are lessons I’m struggling with, but I thought she’d still view her actions in a careful and introspective light.
From what I’ve read, it’s rare to find characters who understand themselves, yet have trouble coming to terms with it. I like a lot of character types, but those are some of the most human to me. That’s a term I’m not keen to use when discussing a universe full of non-humans, but I hope you understand what I mean.
Would you have preferred for the show to have made more of an attempt at reforming Chrysalis?
I think it’s important to distinguish between my Chrysalis and the show’s.
The show’s Chrysalis, at least by the end, never seemed to care too much for her children’s opinion of her, only that they were no longer loyal. She didn’t seem too sad because of that, just angry, which likely means that she saw them more as tools she could manipulate than actual people. Of course, there are parents in the world that are like that, but it doesn’t make her character very dynamic. That’s perfectly fine, and if you want to have a villain that will never reform, that’s the kind of character you may as well petrify.
My Chrysalis puts a “what if” spin on that, where she actually does care about her kids, and she’s hurt that they seem to have betrayed her, but acts tough to hide how deep and painful that wound still is. A character that feels genuine remorse would seek an end to it, and that’s where redemption becomes a legitimate option for her. That’s what she’s left to decide at the end of Nothing Left to Lose.
Do I prefer one over the other? I honestly don’t know. I feel that there are some things the show could’ve done better, including a lot of arcs, plots and characters besides Chrysalis (massively disappointed in Starlight’s sudden redemption, and that Cozy and Tirek didn’t have an actual mentor-student relationship, bordering father-daughter), but I’m not unhappy that the show’s interpretation of her was counted among the irredeemable villains.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Two things. First, the title and chapter title for the story were both taken directly from the Alan Parsons Project’s “Nothing Left to Lose”, and although the exact tone of the song doesn’t fit the one I aimed to create in the story, the lyrics are what got to me, from start to finish. That’s why I linked it at the end, if anyone was curious.
And the second… is a more personal note, to those who might want a little snippet of wisdom. Or what counts for wisdom, coming from me.
The greatest teacher in the world is experience. Failure is easy. Success is not. But you should never measure your worth by what others think of you. Take it from somebody who’s let his own ego and the desire for attention and recognition get the better of him time and time again. Who convinced himself for a time that he was poison — that sooner or later, every interaction I have with someone inevitably builds into a toxic relationship.
Retrospect is one hell of a thing. Be glad that you can learn from it, but don’t let the guilt consume you. Even now, I’m not entirely convinced my story deserves to be shelved in the Royal Canterlot Library. But deep down, I know I don’t believe that; that’s just the doubt talking. Healthy scepticism turned unhealthy.
Be good to others. Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s rarely as bad as we think it is.

At £299 per person, this 3-night Iceland break from Fleetway Travel saves up to a third on the usual price. As well as flights and accommodation in Reykjavik, it also packs in a trip to the Blue Lagoon and an excursion to look for the Northern Lights.
Depart on select dates from 1 October-20 December. See Fleetway Travel's website for more information.
The Fosshotel Baron is close to the seafront in Reykjavik, and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Standard Double Rooms have views of either the city or ocean.
The Blue Lagoon is "Iceland's most trumpeted geothermal spa, a surreal splash of colour and warmth amidst a bleak satanic wilderness of black lava rubble", says Rough Guides.
The Daily Mail calls the Northern Lights a "genuinely magical" phenomenon -- winter is the best time to see it, as most activity occurs from September-March.

Senator Kruse suggests the longest multi-purpose path in Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS (WANE) – Senator Dennis Kruse (R District 14) said he is working with the 33-member Poka-Bache Coalition to campaign for the Poka-Bache Connector Trail.
The proposed trail would be 85 miles and connect Pokagon State Park in Angola to Ouabache State Park in Bluffton, Kruse said. It would travel through four counties and seven cities and towns. When completed, this trail would be Indiana’s longest multi-purpose trail.
The coalition is currently submitting trail project proposals to secure funding from the Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) for the project. Kruse added that this project and the coalition are supported by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Indiana Department of Transportation.
The IEC awards growth-oriented grants to regions within the framework of the READI program
“As co-chair of the Indiana Legislative Trails Caucus, I can confidently say that Indiana’s trails are very useful as not only are they catalyzing economic development and tourism, but also providing Hoosiers with access to healthier lifestyles to enhance the quality of the Life. I look forward to continuing this work and hope to receive an update in the near future, ”said Senator Kruse.

- ItemOpen AccessDefining Aboriginal Rights to Water in Alberta: Do They Still "Exist"? How Extensive are They?(Canadian Institute of Resources Law, 2010-04) Passelac-Ross, Monique M.; Smith, Christina M.This report explores some fundamental questions in relation to the water rights of Aboriginal peoples in Alberta. Aboriginal peoples have long asserted that water is essential to life. They view water as the lifeblood of the earth. The perceived threat to the health and integrity of river systems is a threat to their own integrity and survival. They share growing concerns over the future of water supplies in Alberta with non-Aboriginal peoples. They affirm that they have fundamental rights with respect to water, along with responsibilities to ensure that the integrity of waters is protected, responsibilities which they want to share with government and all water users. There is uncertainty concerning the nature and extent of Aboriginal rights to water, both on reserve and off-reserve. The report addresses only some of the questions that arise in connection with this subject, namely the origin, nature and scope of the rights. The main question that we seek to answer is whether Aboriginal peoples in Alberta can claim rights to water, and if so, what is the status of these rights by comparison with other provincially recognized water rights.

It examines different interpretations of the right adopted by the courts, by Aboriginal peoples, by government and by various experts and documents the erosion of the right resulting from government regulation and resource development. Finally, it suggests a more generous interpretation of the trapping right as a right to sustain a moderate livelihood.

My personal experience in therapy has had a profound impact on the development of my personality and has improved and radically changed the quality of my life.
What motivated me to embark on a journey of exploring myself and healing my childhood wounds was my children, I wanted to give them and myself my best self.
Today I am grateful that I dared to take steps towards change, which brought me a much higher quality of life.
Putting it all into practice
After returning to Germany in 2015, I continued my further education and specialisation. I am currently leading group workshops, as well as individual counseling with clients.
