It's been more than 25 years since the release of the Talking Heads' undeniably fantastic concert film, Stop Making Sense, but a new film is out to prove that David Byrne has still got it. Ride, Rise, Roar is a new concert film directed by David Hillman Curtis documenting rehearsals and performances from Byrne's 2008 tour.
The film opens with Byrne, his hair now white and dressed in all-white (how Wayne Coyne of him), playing "Once in a Lifetime." He's obviously older, but he still has wide-open eyes, a childlike expression, and utterly bizarre moves. He resembles a curious owl playing guitar. Three young dancers, constantly smiling, twist and wind their way through extraterrestrial dance moves.

Thankfully, the documentary leaves out the typical tour footage--no hotel check-ins, burger pit-stops, or incoherent green-room ramblings. Instead, it focuses on dialogue between the choreographers and band members. The choreographers, including Annie B. Parson and Noemie LaFrance, describe their creative processes for a specific piece followed by the piece itself. There's plenty of rehearsal footage in between that really captures a room full of talented people having way too much fun. No band member is left behind in the choreography process--everyone gets their own special moves for each song. Even the background singers seem surprised and excited to have new demands made of them.
And David Byrne? He's still got it. The songs, new and old, sound fresh, and the band is tight as ever.
The three dancers, Lily Baldwin, Steve Reker and Natalie Kuhn, are way too much fun to watch. The film focuses on their moves as much as it does on Byrne--his idea to fully integrate the show with movement is pretty successful; everyone's an equal partner onstage. (It puts Lady Gaga and her booty-dancers to shame.) Highlights include the slumping-in-the-office-chair dance, the we-play-unplugged-guitars dance, lots of jogging in place, everyone donning tutus, and some serious Pentecostal-esque shaking routines.
Ride, Rise, Roar is showing Saturday November 13th at the Edwards Greenway Theater as part of the 2010 Cinema Arts Festival Houston.


As I was leaving Pitchfork toward the end of Pavement’s set, Matt the Ice Cream Man introduced me to one of the members of St Vincent’s backing band. I asked him what instrument he played, noting that I pretty much just focused on Annie. His reply: “I think that’s kind of the point.”
St Vincent writes some great music, but part of the fun of her shows is seeing the joy clearly visible all over Annie’s face. She loves what she does and she’s great at it. Everything sounded great. We got great takes on “Save Me,” “Laughing With a Mouth Full of Blood,” “Actor Out of Work” and a particularly hectic/beautiful version of “Your Lips Are Red.” I missed the middle of her set, so I don’t know if we got any new songs, but I can’t wait to hear new material from her.

Alexandra Shipp has hit back at criticism surrounding her casting in the 'X-Men' franchise, after trolls claimed she wasn't ''dark enough'' to play Storm.
Alexandra Shipp has hit back at criticism surrounding her casting in the 'X-Men' franchise.
The 26-year-old actress landed the role of Storm in the 2016 movie 'X-Men: Apocalypse' and will reprise the coveted character in the upcoming 'Dark Phoenix', which is due out in February next year.
But Alexandra's casting in the role was met with criticism after some people claimed she didn't have ''dark enough skin'' for the character, and she has hit back at the comments, claiming she had always believed the comic book character ''looked like me'' when growing up.
She said: ''[I tweeted back] at people who criticized me for not having dark enough skin for my role in 'X-Men' because we're not going to have this conversation about a cartoon character. You're not going to tell me that my skin color doesn't match a Crayola from 1970. Growing up, when I was reading the comics, I pictured her looking like me. For any black girl, for there to be a black superhero, we picture them looking like us.''
And Alexandra insists she would ''never'' darken her skin tone for a role, and believes bagging the role of Storm and her alter-ego Ororo Munroe was her ''moment'' as an actress.
She added to Glamour magazine: ''When I auditioned for the role, I wasn't like, 'Oh man, I'm not dark enough.' I was like, 'Finally, this is my moment.' I'm not playing Harriet Tubman with a prosthetic nose and darkening my skin tone. I would never do that.''
At the time of her casting in the franchise, Alexandra took to Twitter to defend herself when she told critics the debate was ''stupid''.
She wrote: ''This conversation about Storm is so stupid, I'm out.... If I lose my job to another actress, I hope it's for her talent and grace, not her skin [colour]. (sic)''

Aldi is rolling out grocery delivery across the US in a direct assault against Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger
Aldi is expanding grocery delivery to stores across the US and launching a test of curbside pickup, the company said Tuesday. Aldi is ramping up its investment in delivery and pickup amid fierce competition from Walmart, Kroger, andAmazon for consumers' online grocery purchases.
Amazon and Walmart have some of the most loyal customers of any brand. A recent study by Morning Consult looked at what brands shoppers are most loyal to, and why. Here are the top 20.
Kroger beat on profits but missed on sales. The grocer reiterated its full-year guidance.
Kroger, the largest grocery retailer in the US, will soon begin selling avocados that are coated for longer shelf life. The coating was invented by Apeel Sciences, which also produces products for peaches, pears, asparagus, and other crops.
Kroger is ditching plastic bags. It announced on Thursday that it plans to phase out single-use plastic bags at all locations by 2025. The change applies to all of Kroger's grocery brands, including Ralphs, Harris Teeter, and QFC, which will be the first chain to stop using single-use plastic bags.
Walmart, Kroger, and Amazon are the three biggest retailers in America based on sales, with Walmart reaching nearly $375 billion in sales last year. See what the other biggest retailers are right now.
Aldi is expanding its online grocery services and preparing to launch curbside pickup in the US, Aldi US CEO Jason Hart told Business Insider. Aldi started testing online grocery delivery in select cities last year through a partnership with Instacart.
Walmart is building a home for grocery-shopping robots next to one of its stores — and it offers a glimpse into the company’s automated fu...
Walmart will soon start using automated robotic carts to pick and pack shoppers' online grocery orders. The company is building a 20,000-square-foot extension to one of its stores in Salem, New Hampshire, that will house the carts and hundreds of products.
Kroger is not accepting Visa cards at its Foods Co. stores, and it may expand the ban to the chain's 2,778 stores. Kroger executives say the fees Visa charges are "out of alignment."
Kroger is launching free delivery on thousands of items in a new offensive against Walmart, Amazon, and Target
Starting Wednesday, the grocery chain will deliver more than 50,000 shelf-stable products like coffee, snacks, cereal, canned goods, and bulk sizes of paper towels and toilet paper to customers' homes for free on orders costing more than $35.

Sasse to Trump: "Please just stop. This isn't normal and it's beneath the dignity of your office"
Trump attacked MSNBC co-hosts on Twitter, criticizing Mika Brzezinski for her appearance
Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse blasted President Donald Trump Thursday over his attacks against “Morning Joe” co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, calling the President’s social media behavior not “normal.”
“Please just stop. This isn’t normal and it’s beneath the dignity of your office,” Sasse tweeted in response to Trump’s latest series of tweets Thursday.
While MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” was still on the air early Thursday morning, Trump posted messages on Twitter insulting the hosts with nicknames like “Psycho Joe” and “Crazy Mika,” later adding that Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
Although Sasse did not reference Trump by name, a spokesman for Sasse confirmed that his tweet was referring to the President’s behavior on Twitter.
The Republican senator has been an outspoken critic of Trump, often voicing his opposition to a number of the President’s policies and proposals on Twitter.
“Governing tweetstorm to tweetstorm is not a sustainable strategy,” Sasse told CNN in May.
The senator from Nebraska also used Twitter to poke fun at Trump for his misspelled tweet about “covfefe” last month.
The White House responded Thursday to criticism of Trump’s attacks against the “Morning Joe” co-hosts, saying that Trump would not allow himself to be pushed around by bullying.
“I don’t think that the President’s even been someone who gets attacked and doesn’t push back,” deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Fox News. “There have been an outrageous number of personal attacks not just to him but people around him.”
“This is a President who fights fire with fire and certainly will not be bullied,” Sanders added.
MSNBC also released a statement in response to Trump’s tweets about the network’s co-hosts, saying that “it’s a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job.”
CNN’s Ashley Killough contributed to this report.

Huge Walrus Haul-Out Signals Latest ‘Canary in the Coalmine’ for Climate Change in the Arctic
by Carolyn Sotka
Photo: Corey Accardo/AP
Near Port Lay Alaska, over 35,000 Pacific walruses have hauled out onto dry land because they are unable to find sea ice due to global warming. This haul out is the largest ever recorded by scientists working with the Aerial Surveys of Arctic Marine Mammals (ASAMM), a Federal, multi-agency program.
The large land-based haul-outs were first observed in 2007 and numbers have continued to rise since on both the U.S. and Russian sides of the Chukchi Sea.
Walruses live mostly in shallow waters above the continental shelf and need to sea ice to rest during migration and to forage. This summer, the sea ice’s annual low point was the sixth smallest since satellite monitoring began in 1979.
“Those animals have essentially run out of offshore sea ice, and have no other choice but to come ashore,” said Chadwick Jay, a research ecologist in Alaska with the US Geological Survey.
Margaret Williams, managing director of the World Wildlife Fund’s Arctic program told the Associated Press, “The walruses are telling us what the polar bears have told us and what many indigenous people have told us in the high Arctic, and that is that the Arctic environment is changing extremely rapidly and it is time for the rest of the world to take notice and also to take action to address the root causes of climate change.”
Global greenhouse gas emissions are the main contributor to climate change and the associated loss of sea ice. The change in environmental conditions in the Arctic could lead to drastic changes in walrus and other Arctic animals’ behavior, distribution and migration patterns.
The crowding at Port Lay is so severe, that the U.S. has taken action by re-routing flights to help avoid a deadly stampede on the thin strip of land.

text: The treaty remained in full force for only 183 days: from February 22, 1821 to August 24, 1821, when Spanish soldiers signed the Treaty of Cordoba, which recognized Mexico`s independence; Spain rejected this treaty, but Mexico took effective control of the former Spanish colony. The border treaty between Mexico and the United States, signed in 1828 and entered into force in 1832, recognized the boundary defined by the Adams Onís Treaty as a boundary between the two nations. The advance turned to war in 1846, and after the United States conquered the provinces once considered the limits of American growth, a huge expansion of the territory revealed the nation`s ugliest disagreement: what to do against slavery? The contract, which consists of 16 articles, was concluded on the 22nd  Adams and Onís negotiated the final agreement, but the problems between their two nations date back to the early days of the American Republic. Q: Who owns Florida longer: Spain or the United States? Our new column, Florida Time, will often mark big anniversaries. It`s a big one. Two hundred years ago this week, Florida became part of the United States. First, we have to go back about half a century before 1819. Most people, when asked which side Florida fought on in the American Revolution, would probably say, "They didn`t. They were part of Spain. These people would be wrong. As we discovered in last week`s column, Spain claimed Florida until 1513. .

High-Capacity Cool Thermal Energy Storage for Peak Shaving - a Solution for Energy Challenges in the 21st century
Abstract: Due to climatic change, increasing thermal loads inbuildings and rising living standards, comfort cooling inbuildings is becoming increasingly important and the demand forcomfort cooling is expanding very quickly around the world. Theincreased cooling demand results in a peak in electrical powerdemand during the hottest summer hours. This peak presents newchallenges and uncertainties to electricity utilities and theircustomers.Cool thermal storage systems have not only the potential tobecome one of the primary solutions to the electrical powerimbalance between production and demand, but also shift coolingenergy use to off-peak periods and avoid peak demand charges.It increases the possibilities of utilizing renewable energysources and waste heat for cooling generation. In addition, acool storage can actually increase the efficiency of combinedheat and power (CHP) generation provided that heat drivencooling is coupled to CHP. Then, the cool storage may avoidpeaks in the heat demand for cooling generation, and this meansthat the CHP can operate at design conditions in most oftime.Phase Change Materials (PCMs) used for cool storage hasobtained considerable attention, since they can be designed tomelt and freeze at a selected temperature and have shown apromising ability to reduce the size of storage systemscompared with a sensible heat storage system because they usethe latent heat of the storage medium for thermal energystorage.The goal of this thesis is to define suitable PCM candidatesfor comfort cooling storage. The thesis work combines differentmethods to determine the thermophysical properties oftetradecane, hexadecane and their binary mixtures, anddemonstrates the potential of using these materials as PCM forcomfort cooling storage. The phase equilibrium of the binarysystem has been studied theoretically as well asexperimentally, resulting in the derivation of the phasediagram. With knowledge of the liquid-solid phase equilibriumcharacteristics and the phase diagram, an improvedunderstanding is provided for the interrelationships involvedin the phase change of the studied materials. It has beenindicated that except for the minimum-melting point mixture,all mixtures melt and freeze within a temperature range and notat a constant temperature, which is so far often assumed in PCMstorage design. In addition, the enthalpy change during thephase transition (heat of fusion) corresponds to the phasechange temperature range; thus, the storage density obtaineddepends on how large a part of the phase change temperaturerange is valid for a given application.Differential Scanning Calorimetery (DSC) is one frequentlyused method in the development of PCMs. In this thesis, it hasbeen found that varying results are obtained depending on theDSC settings throughout the measurements. When the DSC runs ata high heating/cooling rate it will lead to erroneousinformation. Also, the correct phase transition temperaturerange cannot be obtained simply from DSC measurement. Combiningphase equilibrium considerations with DSC measurements gives areliable design method that incorporates both the heat offusion and the phase change temperature range.The potential of PCM storage for peak shaving in differentcooling systems has been demonstrated. A Computer model hasbeen developed for rapid phase equilibrium calculation. The useof phase equilibrium data in the design of a cool storagesystem is presented as a general methodology.Keywords:Comfort cooling, peak shaving, PCM, coolthermal storage system, DSC, phase change temperature range,the heat of fusion, phase equilibrium, phase diagram.

Lawyer at Delhi, India.
Advocate at A.K. Vali and Co., India
This article takes the subjective analysis on the recent rise of sedition charges and suppressed right to dissent. In the Indian Democracy, the innate right of freedom of speech is not absolute because the constitution itself states reasonable restrictions to protect the integrity, security, and unity of the state. This is why some of the outrageous laws which can be easily misused in order to hide the real narrative and criticism against the government are still in existence. This article holds the holistic viewpoint on the thin line between hate speeches and necessary criticism. The difference is causing people years in custody without getting fair trials. As a part of Judicial Activism, the Supreme Court benches reiterated the landmark judgments that are the extension to describe when sedition laws can or should be charged on the accused. The rising cases of sedition charges where more than 3/4th of the accused were acquitted fairly are the depiction of how the laws are being overused to set in the fear against racing the voice of dissent. It is prominent to use the freedom of speech justifiably without being afraid of law enforcement. The article narrows down the issue and suggestions as a path to improvement.

For three seasons, actress Lauren Holly was better known as Director Jenny Shepard as she portrayed NCIS boss. After her departure from the CBS show, Leon Vance (played by Rocky Carroll) took over the job. So what did Holly think was one of the most challenging aspects of being on NCIS?
NCIS fans will remember Director Shepard as a tough woman who led her team with an iron fist.
She was introduced to the show as the director but she also had a previous romantic relationship with Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon), so the pair were very flirtatious throughout her time on NCIS.
This continuously made fans question whether or not the pair would eventually get together.
What did actress Lauren Holly find most difficult about playing Director Jenny Shepard in NCIS?
In an interview with CBS, Harmon said it is harder than it looks to develop the perfect amount of onscreen chemistry, especially when there have been many characters who have come and gone over the years.
He said: “Once you establish chemistry, you’re competitive about it, because it doesn’t happen very often.
“And when that chemistry is altered, none of us here knew what to expect.
“You hope that you better it. There are no guarantees.”
But Holly’s onscreen romance with Harmon was not what made her role difficult.
What did Lauren Holly find challenging about playing NCIS director Jenny Shepard?
Prior to joining the cast of NCIS, Holly had been in a number of comedies including Dumb and Dumber, Picket Fences, My Two Dads and Becker.
So when Holly was given the serious role of Director Shephard, it took some getting used to.
She said: “You can’t just play the hard ass because you can’t be completely unlikeable.
“However, it’s OK if I’m the character that people don’t feel like hugging all the time.”
She continued: “When you work with people like Michael Weatherly, and he’s so talented and so funny, if I have scenes with Michael, I so want to go toe-to-toe with him and do that.
“And it’s so hard for me, especially with my background being in comedy, not to do that. But it’s rewarding that I don’t.”
But her part became even more serious as she made her exit from the series.
Shepard was terminally ill with a brain tumour but decided not to tell anyone.
However, she did not die from the tumour but was killed in a shootout at a diner when an arms dealer seemed his revenge against herself and Gibbs who shot one of their men years before the series even began.
Gibbs finds out she killed many of the attackers singlehandedly and says she “put up one Hell of a fight”.
NCIS continues every Tuesday at 9pm on CBS.

As an indication of how opposed California is to President Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the state legislature is considering a bill that would blacklist contractors involved in such a project.
According to The Mercury News, Senate Bill 30, authored by Democratic Sen. Ricardo Lara “is one of two bills taking aim at contractors who choose to work on the border wall. Assembly Bill 946 by Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, would force the state to drop its pension investments in any companies involved in the project.”
It’s safe to say that bureaucrats in the Golden State hate walls built to keep out interlopers. Or do they? CBS SF/Bay Area reports that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has hit upon a solution for keeping unwanted homeless people from encroaching on their land. The solution? Build a strong 8-foot-high wall to keep out the riffraff.
Laura Nunez, who has lived on Macredes Avenue in San Jose most of her life, said everything changed on her street when homeless people began using the rickety chain link fence at the end of the block as a doorway to their encampments along I-280.
“Every time Caltrans would come out and repair it … as soon as they left they cut a hole in it and they just use that … that was their main access point to go in and out,” said Nunez. “We’ve had to live with their garbage. We’ve had to live with drug paraphernalia. The kids haven’t been able come out to play.”
The parallels between the this project and Trump’s proposal has not been lost on every Californian.
Jaime Foberg, the founder of “In Their Shoes” homeless advocacy said, “I think of Trump. And I think how horrible it is that they would keep people out. It really does make me sad.”
Pastor Scott Wagers with Cham Deliverance Ministry said, “Symbolically, I think it sends the wrong message … that a city like San Jose is kind of … positing itself against the homeless.”
But Laura Nunez has an answer for these do-gooders:
Take them to your neighborhood and you live the way we’ve been living the past few years, and then you’ll sing a different tune after that.
Meanwhile, anyone else here getting a whiff of double standard?

Some facts about chocolate and its effects on your health and well being.
Chocolate is not high in cholesterol - cocoa beans are plants and therefore do not contain cholesterol (although milk chocolate will obviously contain cholesterol, even then it is only 7mg per ounce). Poor quality chocolate will contain easily absorbed saturated fats but the cocoa butter used in high quality chocolate (which is a mono-unsaturated fat) is not easily absorbed and is high in staeric acid which has been found in some studies to actually reduce cholesterol levels.
Chocolate contains phenylethylamine an amino acid which the brain releases when we fall in love and which has aphrodisiac properties; this is why people enjoy chocolate so much. In addition, it is supposed to be good for helping ease hangovers. Chocolate also contains magnesium which is involved in making serotonin which is a chemical released after eating carbohydrates that evokes a feeling of calm. It also contains endorphins, chemicals which are released after eating fat and which transmit a feeling of euphoria and energy.
Chocolate does not contain large amounts of caffeine - only 6mg an ounce (there are 180mg in a 5 ounce cup of coffee). Chocolate clears the mouth quicker than carbohydrates found in starches so it does not linger as they do and allow acid levels in the mouth to build up. Therefore, it does not cause tooth decay to the same extent as other high-sugar foods and an antibacterial agent has been found in chocolate that actually slows the formation of plaque.
It has been suggested that phenolics, antioxidants found in chocolate, also help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. The healthiest form of chocolate will be the purest and , containing high levels of cocoa solids with very little sugar. Much chocolate that is on sale in this country contains 20% or less cocoa solids and a great deal of sugar. This probably explains why chocolate in general has such a poor reputation when it comes to your health.

The number of Americans struggling to make ends meet has soared “double digits,”and most blame Washington and President Joe Biden, according to the latest poll socking the liberals’ agenda just months before the midterm congressional elections.
In a survey full of depressing firsts, the headline from the new Monmouth University Poll found that a record 88% believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, the worst on record.
“This marks an all-time low for this question going back to 2013. The prior low was recorded in May of this year at 18% right direction and 79% wrong track,” said Monmouth.
Hit by high gas prices, increasing inflation, the recent doubling of mortgage interest rates, and the resulting cut in wages and savings, more people also said they are having difficulty surviving economically.
“The number of Americans who are financially struggling has increased by double digits in the past year as inflation and gas prices top the list of problems faced by the nation’s families,” said the poll analysis. “More than 4 in 10 Americans (42%) say they are struggling to remain where they are financially. This is the first time since Monmouth started asking the question five years ago that the number topped 3 in 10 – the range in prior polls was 20% to 29%,” it added.
In another historic high, the poll found that 57% said the federal government’s actions “have hurt” their family.
“The current poll marks the first time this sentiment is in the majority. The results also indicate little optimism about the future – just 23% expect that future government actions over the next few years will help improve their family’s top concern while 45% say Washington will hurt them. One year ago, that response was basically flipped (40% expected to be helped and 34% expected to be hurt),” said Monmouth’s analysis.
The survey asked what issues are most important, and inflation tops at 33%, followed by gas prices at 15%. Way down at 5% was abortion rights, and at 3%, guns.
As for Biden, a majority said he’s not helping the middle class, failing on a key campaign promise.
And his approval rate has now passed a yearlong decline — just 36% approve of the president.
While it may be hard to believe the results could be worse for Biden and Washington Democrats, the poll overweighed Democrats by five points.

For the first two weeks, you eat three extremely low-carb meals a day plus two snacks. You can customize menus, search a database of more than 1, recipes and get a personalized shopping list. Studies have shown that after one year, carb-restricted diets led to greater weight loss and increased heart health than low-fat diets. However, the advantage disappeared over the long term. How much can you expect to lose? Figure on 8 to 13 pounds during the two-week kick-start phase, then 1 to 2 pounds a week thereafter.
The Zone diet is mostly meat, fruits, and vegetables. You eat three meals per day plus two Zone protein-powder snacks. A study of people in the Journal of American Medical Association found the Zone diet helped people achieve modest weight loss after one year, comparable with those on the Atkins , Weight Watchers and Ornish diets, and improved cardiac risk factors.
Pricing information is noticeably, frustratingly absent from the Jenny Craig Web site. You eat three Jenny Craig meals plus a snack per day, and supplement with fruit, vegetables and dairy. Once a week, you get a weigh-in and pep talk with a consultant — who is not a dietician and who earns commissions from selling you products. Jenny Craig has a good track record for short-term weight loss up to one year. In a UC San Diego clinical trial of dieters funded by Jenny Craig , Jenny Craig clients lost 11 percent of their initial weight after 12 months, compared with 3 percent weight loss by those who were dieting on their own.

The primary con to this diet is that it can be extremely limited and difficult for some people to follow. This limitation is because meat is omitted from the plan. Cutting out an entire food group may be too much of a restriction to maintain over the long-term, so some people do best by modifying this diet to allow for a moderate amount of meat. The high fiber intake may also pose a problem initially. It's best to slowly increase the amount of fiber you consume so your body can get used to it.
The goal is always long-term weight loss and maintenance. This diet does have the research to support it, but it may need modifications to make it work for you.
Jenny Craig has become best-known for the celebrities who are followed while losing weight on this diet. They explain how easy it is and how delicious the food is, and you see the results as they are happening. This diet provides you with your foods and snacks to ensure you consume the exact amount of calories your body needs to lose weight. You add fresh produce and dairy.
You meet with a consultant on a weekly basis to discuss your progress, and who will assist you with transitioning to your own food when you are ready to do so. Physical activity is emphasized throughout the diet. The primary advantage to this diet is that you will lose weight if you eat what you are given. Portion-and-calorie-controlled meals are great tools for long-term weight loss and maintenance.
They take away the guesswork of how many calories you consume, they can be nutritionally balanced, they are quick and easy to prepare, and they teach you about healthy portion sizes. As with all diets, nothing works for everyone, and nothing works forever. The celebrity endorsements are great when they work, but the celebrities who regain their weight once they discontinue this plan are proving that this is not the answer for everyone.
Many people prefer to be able to eat food they prepare and do not like the idea of prepackaged foods. The consultants are not professionals in this field. They undergo a training course but are not trained therapists, registered dietitians, or exercise physiologists, so the advice and support that you receive will be limited to what they have been taught to say. If you are taking any medications or have any health conditions, it is best to work with trained professionals.
The NutriSystem Advanced diet is a low glycemic index , high-fiber, and high-protein diet. The prepackaged food is provided for you by ordering online or by calling the toll free number.
This diet does address the three necessary components for successful weight loss and maintenance; diet, physical activity, and behavior. Prepackaged foods can be an effective tool for weight loss. You will be provided with the appropriate number of calories for weight loss without having to worry about counting anything.
This will give you the opportunity to learn what appropriate portion sizes are and which foods are necessary for a well-balanced diet based on your specific needs. The variety of programs based on gender, age, health, and dietary preference is another positive component of this diet.
The Mindset Makeover was developed by one of the leading psychologists in the weight loss field, Gary Foster, Ph. It is designed to "help people learn new behaviors when it comes to weight loss and related lifestyle issues. You are given access to this and an online account with community support as part of each of the programs. Prepackaged foods are not for everyone and typically not something to use forever.
They can be very limiting and create the sense of being "on a diet. Most people find that they only want to use this type of a diet for the short-term or for one or two meals per day. The other negative aspect of this diet is that the prepackaged foods contain the artificial sweeteners Sucaralose and Acesulfame K. The dietary focus on this diet also has some limitations.
The idea of "good carbs" and "bad carbs" is controversial. While there is some truth to the role of glycemic index in hunger, it is not a guaranteed tool for weight management. Labeling foods as "good" and "bad" creates problems for people trying to develop healthy eating habits. A well-balanced diet requires whole wheat sources of starch, while allowing for some sugar. Weight Watchers has been around for many years. There have been changes to the program, but weekly meetings have remained a part of the plan.
The two diet options that are currently available are the Flex Plan and the Core Plan. The Core Plan is based on the science of energy density. Energy density refers to the amount of calories in a given weight of food. Foods that are considered low energy dense foods have a small amount of calories for a large volume of food for example, vegetable soups, vegetables, and fruit.
High energy dense foods provide a lot of calories for a small amount of food for example, oils, butter, cream sauce. The Core Plan provides a "balanced diet by centering on a list of healthy foods that keep you full longer.
The support and information provided online and in-person sets Weight Watchers apart from most diets out there. There are numerous meetings across the country to choose from. For many people, having a place to weigh-in each week is a key to success. The focus on a balanced diet, exercise, and behavior changes is another advantage to this diet. The goal is to educate people on all three components and assist with both weight loss and maintenance. The two plans give people an option to find what works best for their own success.
Many people have a "been there, done that" attitude when it comes to Weight Watchers. They have tried it, may have had some success, may have even gone back a couple of times, but end up feeling that it can't help them any longer. The group leaders at the meetings are not trained experts; they are former members who have had success with Weight Watchers. When someone is not having success the options for what to do can be greatly limited by the lack of experience and knowledge of the leader.
There is a strong emphasis on weighing in each week. Many people have a difficult time attending a meeting when they are not having success. However, most people will not lose weight every single week, so expecting to do so is a recipe for failure.
The time when people need the support the most is when they are not losing, but most meetings are not set to address this. While there are two diet options, this still may not be enough for everyone. If counting points and following a low-energy dense diet do not work for you, there is no other option left.
The best weight loss diet is one that fits your lifestyle and needs, and you can't always get that with this plan. I also agree to receive emails from MedicineNet and I understand that I may opt out of MedicineNet subscriptions at any time. Lose Weight, and Keep It Off. It is indisputable that as a country we are more overweight and obese than we have ever been. As a result, the diet industry has grown along with us. Some diets genuinely try to help people lose weight and keep it off, while others look to make money by saying whatever it takes to get people to believe their claims.
You need to be an educated consumer when it comes to weight loss. It's not enough to see that a doctor is the author of a book. You need to digest what is being said, and look for the facts supporting the claims. It takes modifications in behavior, diet, and activity to succeed at weight loss. It also takes time, patience, commitment, and lots of hard work. There will never be one diet that is the "cure" for everyone. If you are having difficulties with weight loss, seek helf from your physician.
Dieting is a complex issue and ongoing professional support may be needed for success. It is possible to lose weight and keep it off, so never give up hope. Instead, find what works best for you right now, and be open to change as you go along. Learn how to get rid of belly fat through diet and exercise. What to know how to lose belly fat fast?

I first ate carrot raisin salad at The Catfish N (http://www.catfishn.com) in Dardanelle, Arkansas, in the 1970s. Newsweek chose their hush puppies as best in the nation. But their carrot raisin salad was not my favorite—because it had mayonnaise. Still, I liked the concept and played with it. Why not vanilla yogurt instead of mayo? Well, the answer is that it works beautifully and is a lot healthier, too.
Nutty Carrot Raisin Salad
1 6 oz. container plus an additional 1/2 cup vanilla Greek or custard-style yogurt
2 cups grated carrots, packed tightly to measure (approximately 5 carrots)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate and allow flavors to blend for a few hours. Keeps about 5 days.
The recipe above is for a crowd. Take it to your next barbeque potluck. But if you want to make a smaller quantity, grate 3 carrots, throw in enough raisins and nuts that the ratio looks right to you (and there’s no way to do it incorrectly), and then use 1 5.3-oz. container of Dannon® Oikos® Greek yogurt, apple pie flavor. Of course, you can still use the vanilla yogurt and add all the other ingredients (I never measure), but I found this cheater’s method the other week. It tasted great and was super simple. This makes a great side dish. And don’t tell, but sometimes, this is all I eat for lunch.

PUBLISHED Letters to the Editor By A HAWAII CENTER SUPPORTEr
"Benefits of Endangered Species Act all around us"
The Maui News, November 6, 2013
Hawaii is paradise, but not always so for nonhuman species. And it saddens me to know that Hawaii is considered the endangered species capital of the world, as detailed in "Animals, plants join list of endangered" (The Maui News, Oct. 31).
And while our geographic isolation is partly responsible for conferring upon our state this discouraging title, we haven't always done the best job of protecting all the natural gifts bestowed upon us. That's why we're fortunate to have the Endangered Species Act, a law that's prevented the extinction of 99 percent of the species it protects - to help us balance human endeavors with the needs of the stunning plants and animals that make living on Maui, and all of Hawaii, so unique.
Evidence of the act's 40-year success can be found all around us on the islands. Through the years it's helped us save everything from the Laysan duck and Hawaiian goose to many of our beautiful sea turtles and whales. And now it will help us save these 15 irreplaceable plants and animals.

IWG to open a new coworking space in Spånga
IWG and ADR Fastigheter have signed a lease agreement regarding 1 412sqm of office space in Spånga, Stockholm. The coworking space will be in an industrial area known as Lunda, Northwest of Stockholm, at Fagerstagatan 58. The center will be known as Spånga HQ and will open during the summer of 2023.
Fastpartner currently operates a coworking space through their brand Fastoffice located on Fagerstagatan 18. Other than that there aren't any competitors in the direct vicinity of where Regus will be opening.
IWG has been expanding rapidly in Sweden over the recent years and currently operated 10 locations in Stockholm under both the Regus and Spaces brand.


Vortex flowmeters have a bluff body as a component, inserted in the flowstream. A bluff body is an obstruction with a broad, flat front. In a vortex meter, the bluff body is mounted at right angles to the flowstream. As the fluid impacts the bluff body, a series of alternating vortices is generated. Flow velocity is proportional to the frequency of the vortices. Flowrate is calculated by multiplying the area of the pipe times the velocity of the flow.
Sierra Instruments introduced the first multivariable vortex flowmeter in 1997. This meter included a RTD temperature sensor and a pressure transducer with a vortex-shedding flowmeter. By using the information from these sensors, the flowmeter can determine volumetric flow, temperature, pressure, fluid density, and mass flow. Since that time, a number of new suppliers have introduced multivariable vortex flowmeters. These include ABB, Yokogawa, KROHNE, Spirax Sarco – EMCO, and Endress+Hauser. While multivariable flowmeters are somewhat more expensive than their single-variable counterparts, they enable users to obtain significantly more information about the process than a single-variable volumetric meter.
Custody-transfer of natural gas is a fast-growing market, especially with the increased popularity of natural gas as an energy source. Natural gas changes hands, or ownership, at a number of points between the producer and the end-user. This changing of hands occurs at custody-transfer points, and it is highly regulated by the American Gas Association (AGA) and the American Petroleum Institute (API). Some other geographic regions have their own regulatory bodies. In January 2007, an API committee approved a draft standard for the use of vortex flowmeters for custody transfer of liquid and gas. This approval is likely to boost sales of vortex meters over time, as suppliers develop products that conform to the standard. The standard is being updated in 2010.


If you have a hardship that prevents you from serving on jury service, the court prefers to reschedule you for a different week. However, the court recognizes that sometimes the hardships are more complicated, and jury service is sometimes excused. Typical reasons for jurors to request to be excused are based upon medical, financial, or educational hardships. A written note detailing the "undue hardship, extreme inconvenience, or public necessity" is required for all hardship requests. For example:
Medical hardships require a brief note from your physician. Prospective jurors over the age of 65 with chronic health conditions may provide their own note.
Financial hardships require a statement in writing from the employer regarding their policy to pay (or not pay) regular wages during jury service.
Educational hardships require a copy of the class schedule showing the time of day conflicts.
Another common hardship involves residency - when the prospective juror has moved or plans to move outside of Spokane County prior to the scheduled jury service. In this instance, the Court requires verification of the current physical address and county of residence.
Please refer to our FAQs page for additional information on being excused from jury service.
Excusal and Disqualification requests will be processed within 5 business days. You may check your status at Jury Management Information or by calling 509-477-4722.

State seizes R1.38m, plus interest, from businessman Dean Fanoe
Mandela fraud accused hit with forfeiture order
About R1.38m, plus interest, of businessman Dean Fanoe’s funds have been forfeited to the state as ill-gotten gains from his role in the Nelson Mandela memorial services scandal.
Judge Sunil Rugunanan ruled that Fanoe and his close corporation Mantella Trading had benefited directly from the proceeds of unlawful activities and ordered that the R1.38m and all the interest it had accumulated over the intervening seven years should immediately be forfeited to the state.
Fanoe made a whopping and instantaneous R692,000 profit on an ANC T-shirt deal as an allocated procurement middleman in the Nelson Mandela memorial services.
His cut of about R1.38m was part of the roughly R10m the state says in court papers was fraudulently diverted from the Buffalo City Metro (BCM) budget meant for former president Mandela’s funeral.
According to court papers, Fanoe – a close friend of then ANC regional secretary Pumlani Mkolo – was given his R1.38m slice of the pie but paid the actual T-shirt supplier only R688,000, scoring himself a huge profit for simply sourcing the supplier.
When the scandal broke in 2014, the Asset Forfeiture Unit moved in and obtained a preservation order freezing R5m in various bank accounts, including the R1.38m in Fanoe’s business account.
Some time later, the R1.38m was forfeited to the state as being proceeds of a crime.
But, shortly afterwards, the National Prosecuting Authority temporarily withdrew criminal charges against Mkolo, Fanoe and nine others allegedly implicated in the fraud scandal. Fanoe immediately went to court to get back his funds.
Judge John Smith in March last year rescinded the forfeiture order and ordered that the money remain frozen in the Asset Forfeiture Unit’s lawyers’ trust account.
The money has been steadily gaining interest in NN Dullabh & Co’s account since then.
Fanoe had claimed in court papers that there was no evidence that the payment of the amount of R1.38m was the instrumentality or the proceeds of a criminal offence committed by himself or his close corporation Mantella Trading 522.
He said his dealings had been with Victory Ticket close corporation and its director and taxi boss Mzwandile Sokwali (also known as Richard Ntozini) as part of a normal business transaction.
But, the state also produced Sokwali’s affidavit in which he pleaded guilty to fraud and money-laundering.
The taxi businessman had said Mkolo had asked him, through his company Victory Ticket, to inflate a quote for BCM for the transportation of mourners from R6m to R10m as they would need the R4m balance to finance “other ANC activities”.
Victory Ticket was only registered on the Buffalo City Metro database after rendering and being paid for the services.
Victory Ticket had also paid other providers for services rendered, including Fanoe.
Fanoe acknowledges in his affidavit that he is a close friend of Mkolo. He also claimed that the 100% mark-up on the T-shirts was a “norm in the industry”.
But judge Rugunanan said no proper procurement process had been followed to appoint Victory Ticket as a service provider and all the services had been rendered before the municipal manager had even approved any deviation from normal processes.
He said it was clear from the evidence that Mkolo had handpicked Fanoe to provide T-shirts. BCM via Victory Ticket would pick up the inflated tab.
The evidence indicated that the amount of R5.8m paid into Victory Ticket’s bank account and subsequently redirected into other bank accounts, including Fanoe’s, “constitutes the proceeds of unlawful activities associated with fraud, theft and money laundering”.
Rugunanan said Victory Ticket had been used as a “conduit for laundering BCM funds” into various bank accounts, including Fanoe’s.
“Fanoe benefited directly from the proceeds of unlawful activities.”

The role of glycemia in insulin resistance in youth with type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Christine L. Chan et al. Pediatric Diabetes. Doi: 10.1111/pedi.12422
Studies examining the relationship between HbA1c and insulin resistance (IR) are conflicting. Glucose measures captured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) (e.g. peak glucose, standard deviation, hypoglycemia) in youth have not been explored as predictors of insulin sensitivity (IS). This study assessed the relationship between IS and glycemia in youth with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants in the study included 100 youth with T1D and 42 with T2D. Of these nineteen with T1D and 13 with T2D also wore CGM. It was found that markers of metabolic syndrome and hyperglycemia predicted decreased IS in T2D youth. Paradoxically, hypoglycemia predicted decreased IS in T1D youth, and hyperglycemia, particularly overnight, predicted improved IS. The authors posit that their preliminary results imply different mechanisms underlying IR in T1D vs T2D and suggest a role for non-insulin therapies in T1D to improve IR.
Effectiveness of a predictive algorithm in the prevention of exercise-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes
Abraham Mary B et al, Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics. Doi:10.1089/dia.2016.0141
The introduction to this paper reminds us that sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT) with a predictive algorithm to suspend insulin delivery has the potential to reduce hypoglycemia, a known obstacle in improving physical activity in patients with type 1 diabetes. The predictive low glucose management (PLGM) system employs a predictive algorithm that suspends basal insulin when hypoglycemia is predicted. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of this algorithm in the prevention of exercise-induced hypoglycemia under in-clinic conditions. It found that SAPT with PLGM reduced the need for hypoglycemia treatment after moderate-intensity exercise in an in-clinic setting.
Prescribing for Diabetes, England – 2005/06 to 2015/16
Prescribing for Diabetes reports on, and examines prescribing trends on medicines prescribed in primary care in England for the treatment and monitoring of diabetes during the period April 2005 to March 2016. Diabetes is a high profile clinical area, and because the prevalence is increasing the costs associated with treating patients with diabetes are correspondingly increasing. The main findings of this audit were that:
Drugs used in diabetes now make up 10.6 per cent of total primary care net ingredient costs (NIC) and 4.6 per cent of prescription items.
In the financial year 2015/16 there were 49.7 million items prescribed for diabetes at a total net ingredient cost of £956.7 million. Up from 27.1 million prescription items and £513.9 million in 2005/06.
Antidiabetic drugs make up 44.2 per cent of the total £956.7 million net ingredient cost of drugs used in diabetes. 71.3 per cent of prescription items for diabetes.

Timeliness of referral of children with new onset type 1 diabetes
Dhaara Iyer et al. PMJ. Doi:10.1136/postgradmedj-2016-134023
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterised by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells leading to insulin deficiency. Prompt referral to a specialist paediatric diabetes team (PDT) for insulin initiation and further management is important to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which remains the most common cause of death in this condition. This study recorded the timeliness of referrals from general practitioners (GPs) to PDT, of children suspected of having TID. The investigators surveyed the practice of GPs when they suspect TID in a young person, to ask if they recognised the need for urgent referral to PDT. In addition, they carried out retrospective case notes review of children diagnosed with diabetes mellitus between January 2005 and December 2014. In all 111 out of 300 (37%) of GPs replied to survey. Of these, 73 of the 111 (65.8%) would have referred promptly to the PDT in accordance with National Guidelines. However, 34.2% would have taken an action that would have led to delay in referral to PDT. 96 children were diagnosed with TID during the audit period. There was a delay in referral in 35 (36.5%) children. 19/35 (54.3%) of these children presented with DKA. Mean duration of delay in presentation to the PDT was 1.8 days. In both the survey and the audit, the most common reason for delayed referral was GP attempting to confirm the diagnosis by undertaking further diagnostic tests. The study has usefully identified a modifiable reason for delayed referrals of children with TID.
Acceptability of robot assistant in management of type 1 diabetes in children
Al-Taee Majid A et al. Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics. Doi:10.1089/dia.2015.0428
This study asked the unusual question whether children with type 1 diabetes would accept a humanoid robot as an assistant in their diabetes management. In particular, the study determined how patients felt the robot might contribute to their care and how they responded to advice and education provided by the robot. To examine this a humanoid robot was used in clinic and its acceptability was tested over 3 months in 37 children (aged 6–16 years) with type 1 diabetes during their clinic visits. The results showed that the overall patients’ acceptability was 86.7%. However, the level of acceptability varied depending on the age group; patients aged 6–9 years showed the highest acceptability level of 94.8%, while the older age groups, 10–12 and 13–16 years, showed lower acceptability levels of 85.0% and 83.0%, respectively. There was no difference in the overall acceptability of the robot between the male and female patients (87.0% and 86.5%, respectively). Furthermore, features of the robot that were highly desirable included ability of the robot to give advice on high/low blood glucose (BG) levels (92.0%), how much the patients liked the robot (91.4%), and ability of the robot to give advice on BG patterns (90.6%). In contrast, some other features were found least acceptable such as how likely patients want the robot as a companion (81.0%) and calculation of insulin doses with meals (82.53%). The conclusion was that the use of robots as a new device to support diabetes self-management in children was well accepted by patients.
Short-acting insulin analogues versus regular human insulin for adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Birgit Fullerton et al. Cochrane. Doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD012161
In this open access paper, the authors looked at randomised controlled trials with an intervention duration of at least 24 weeks that compared short-acting insulin analogues with regular human insulins in the treatment of adults with type 1 diabetes who were not pregnant. Two review authors independently extracted data and assessed trials for risk of bias, and resolved differences by consensus. They graded overall study quality. They found no clear evidence for a substantial effect of insulin analogues on health-related quality of life. However, there were only few results that were based on subgroups of the trial populations. None of the trials reported substantial effects regarding weight gain or any other adverse events. No trial was designed to investigate possible long-term effects (such as all-cause mortality, diabetic complications), in particular in people with diabetes related complications. The authors concluded that their analysis suggested that only a minor benefit of short-acting insulin analogues on blood glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes. To make conclusions about the effect of short acting insulin analogues on long-term patient-relevant outcomes, long-term efficacy and safety data are needed.
Are there benefits for gestational diabetes mellitus in treating lower levels of hyperglycemia than standard recommendations?

The new International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) recommendations for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are generating discussion regarding their universal adoption. The authors of this paper work in a centre that is currently using stricter GDM diagnostic criteria than those proposed by the IADPSG. They set out to determine the complication rates and antepartum maternal predictors of adverse outcomes in their cohort with mild GDM. A total of 3712 women, with and without diabetes, were included in their retrospective cohort study. It found that the rates of macrosomia and pre-eclampsia were significantly higher in the group with GDM but were lower than the rates usually reported. They claim that their study provides insight into GDM-related complications rates and the benefits of intervention in a large cohort of women with levels of hyperglycemia lower than those currently recommended for diagnosis of GDM. These findings suggest a continuous association between adverse outcomes and maternal hyperglycemia and highlight the important role of maternal risk factors other than glycemic results in the development of pregnancy-related complications. Milder forms of hyperglycemia that would not be identified by IADPSG guidelines may benefit from treatment.
A review of insulin-dosing formulas for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) for adults with type 1 diabetes
Allen B. King et al. Current Diabetes Reports. Doi:10.1007/s11892-016-0772-0
This is the preamble to an open access paper:
Dosing guidelines for patients with type 1 diabetes using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), which are historically based on clinical experience and retrospective studies of patients consuming an American diet, recommend that basal insulin should represent approximately 50 % of the total daily dose (TDD). Recent prospective studies in the USA and Japan conclude that the more appropriate proportion is closer to 30–40 % of TDD. In addition, currently used formulas for calculating the carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio (CIR) and correction factor (CF) may lead to underdosing of bolus insulin by as much as 12.8–50 % for a hypothetical patient. The discrepancies between traditional formulas and data from newer studies can be accounted for by the more rigorous design of the newer studies. International differences in diet composition may also be important to consider when developing dosing recommendations for CSII.
This is an interesting and focused dissertation that will need careful reading.
The concluding statement was:
Further studies are warranted to explore insulin dosing in patients with diabetes, during which meals are controlled and glucose intensely monitored. Ideally, these should be prospective and designed to allow head-to-head comparison of different dosing formulas. This would also provide important information about differences in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia with different dosing formulas. Finally, regardless of which formulas are used, it is important to emphasize that recommended insulin-dosing formulas are intended as estimates, and should always be tempered with clinical judgment, based upon experience, according to patient-specific factors including diurnal variation in blood glucose and activity level. For example, it is possible that some patients might require more than one CIR over a 24-h period to achieve optimal glycemic control and prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia. Until appropriate studies are published, we believe that new evidence indicates that the following revised formula should be considered as a starting point when initiating a patient with T1D on intensive therapy: TBD = 30–40 % of TDD and CIR = 300–400/TDD.

BIG messes all in the name of making ART!
Eighth grade students spent their first week back from winter break making marbled paper using a shaving cream and food-coloring technique. The process is EXTREMELY messy, as you can see from our photos here. I had fun photographing everyone as they smiled for the camera with shaving cream hands.
Our marbled paper pieces will be used in a paper sculpture project. We're making star lanterns that will hang from the ceiling! I also had fun taking some photos with my Christmas present: a Fujifim Instax camera. It's like a mini-polaroid camera that takes photos like these:
I love the super fun size of these mini photos! Plus, the camera is a really cute rounded shape. I love functional objects with interesting design, so it's no surprise that this camera appealed to me.
Did you get any good gifts over winter break?

With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) right around the corner, some of the biggest names in tech are set to showcase some products that will look to define 2018. Much like the CES in the past, companies like LG and Samsung are set to display some next-gen TVs that push the boundaries of display. We now know that LG will kick things off with a showstopper 88-inch OLED television with an 8K display.
Once unveiled, this will largest and highest-resolution OLED TV in the market, Engadget reports. Of course, it will take a while before 8K televisions become a standard. We’re currently seeing a growth 4K TVs and HDR content that is slowly but surely going mainstream. LG’s 8K TV will be a show of strength at CES 2018 as the company competes against the likes of Samsung and Panasonic, among others. As of now, further details regarding the 8K TV are unknown and we’ll have a better knowledge about its specifications once it goes official at CES 2018.
Prior to this, the largest OLED screen was at 77-inches and they were offered in 4K resolution. Brands like LG, Sony and Panasonic already offer 77-inch TVs. Meanwhile, Samsung shifted from OLED to QLED panels last year, making LG Display the only large-sized OLED display maker in the game. At CES 2017, Samsung unveiled three QLED TVs – the Q9, Q8 and Q7. The company has claimed that its QLED TVs are better than OLED TVs. We expect to see a few new QLED TVs from Samsung at this year’s CES as well.
While Samsung is following a different path, LG still sees competition from countries like Japan, and the company’s display arm has made investments in billions of dollars to increase production and take OLED displays mainstream. This not only includes televisions panels, but OLED panels for smartphones as well. Samsung currently dominates the mobile OLED market, while LG has received some flak regarding its panels, most notably with regard to Pixel 2 XL. We’ll know what LG and Samsung, among others, have in store for us once CES 2018 kicks off starting January 9.

CAD Manager's Newsletter (#194)22 Apr, 2008 By: Robert Green
Careful planning is the key to successfully training your staff.
In the last two installments of the CAD Manager's Newsletter, I've given you some practical advice for planning the transition from 2D software to 3D software. I hope you've had a chance to do the planning and expectation management I've outlined in those first two installments.
I've received more email about this series than any other topic in the past year. It seems a lot of you are experiencing problems with 3D implementation just like I have over the years.
This time I'll pass along some advice for the actual implementation and training stages of your move to 3D. And, as I've done in the first two installments, I'll pass along some real-world tips that'll help you avoid the perils of 3D while you're at it. Here goes.
Plan Your Training
In my experience, the key to getting users on board with 3D software has always focused on the training. For your user to have a great training experience, you must plan that training well in advance. Read more »
I've received a couple of questions about my approach to modifying programming in multiuser CAD environments. I've passed along some tips and tools for performing testing in the past several issues, but I haven't given you a procedural framework for how I modify CAD environments without disrupting everyone while doing so.
Here is my step-by-step method:
- Back up everything you think you could even possibly modify. You never know when those backed up files will come in handy.
- Set up a test environment on a remote machine (I like to use a laptop) using the substituted drive trick I outlined in the March 26 edition.
- Verify proper functionality of custom programming on the remote machine. As you perform your testing, be sure to save any files or test procedures because you'll be using them again later. Read more »

I’mma run up on ya.
Major Lazer taps Minaj and PARTYNEXTDOOR on their latest single.
For months Major Lazer have teased their highly-anticipated single “Run Up”, and now the song has finally premiered and it was definitely worth the wait.
“Run Up” shows Major Lazer exploring more of their dancehall sound, and the addition of two island artists makes the song a certified banger. PARTYNEXTDOOR carries a majority of the track until Minaj comes in after the second chorus to give us a killer verse.
At the 2016 American Music Awards, Diplo announced “Run Up” with would drop officially in 2017 with the aid of Nicki Minaj and PARTYNEXTDOOR. The song was originally set to premiere during the first week of January, but Diplo revealed in a recent interview that they were waiting to add Nicki’s verse to complete the song.
This tho ?OMAHGAHHHH>>>>??????fave this – love this ?????. Dont Griselda go off?????? ✅??✅✅✅ Pretty girls, let your light shine bright!!!!!
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) December 14, 2016
This is the first song from Nicki since her separation from Meek Mill and it’s quite obvious the breakup did not affect her pen game at all. She references Hillary Clinton and teases her upcoming fourth album (!!!). In fact, she’s giving us Pink Friday vibes with the various flows and voices on this track.
“Run Up” is one of the first major releases of 2017 and it won’t be surprising to see it shoot up the charts with its catchy beat and hook. The song will be on the group’s upcoming album Music Is the Weapon due later this year. The album is expected to feature Usher, Sam Hunt, Travis Scott and more.
Listen to “Run Up” below via Apple Music.
