There are now 380 officers wearing body cameras on the streets of Jacksonville.
That’s an increase of 170 over the past three months .
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office first began rolling out its program in October 2018.
Since then, there have been six officer-involved shootings in Jacksonville, including 38-year-old Jerry Marrero last week .
Inside an Englewood convenience store, JSO Officer R.C. Santoro shot and killed Marrero.
JSO Chief Chris Butler said Marrero was reaching for a knife and turning toward Santoro when the officer shot him.
“There wasn’t any other option for police Officer Santoro other than to discharge his firearm,” said Butler on March 14.
Surveillance cameras inside the store were rolling, but no body cameras were.
That’s because the convenience store is in Zone 3.
JSO has not rolled out body cameras yet in that zone.
JSO can’t confirm whether any officer-involved shootings have been captured on body camera.
“Well, we would like to have them caught on camera too because, like we said, we don’t oppose them. And we firmly believe that these cameras are going to show what we’ve been saying for years: 99.9 percent of the stuff we do is done correctly,” said Jacksonville police union president Steve Zona.
Since the official rollout began, JSO has only released one body camera video to the public .
It showed what led up to a JSO officer shooting a pit bull to death.
By Action News Jax’s calculation, about 19 percent of JSO officers and sergeants have been assigned body cameras.
“You have to realize that they have to take these officers off of the street and send them to class to be trained to operate these body worn cameras,” said Zona. “It’s a logistical nightmare to get everybody trained and then to get the body worn cameras rolled out.”
JSO has rolled out body cameras in Zone 1, which is the downtown, Springfield and Eastside area and Zone 5, wich is the northwest, New Town and Baldwin area.
JSO is currently adding body cameras to Zone 4, which includes Riverside, Avondale, Ortega and the westside.
That leaves Zones 2, 3 and 6 uncovered for now.
JSO plans to add 250 body cameras every quarter until every officer and sergeant has one.
It’s expected to take two years.
JSO turned down Action News Jax’s request for an interview on the progress of the body camera rollout.

Ghatak S, Misra S, Norris RA, Moreno-Rodriguez RA, Hoffman S, Levine RA, Hascall VC, Markwald RR. (2014) Periostin induces intracellular cross-talk between kinases and hyaluronan in atrioventricular valvulogenesis. J Biol Chem. 289(12):8545-61. PMID: 24469446; PMCID: PMC3961678
Periostin (PN), a novel fasciclin-related matricellular protein, has been implicated in cardiac development and postnatal remodeling, but the mechanism remains unknown. We examined the role of PN in mediating intracellular kinase activation for atrioventricular valve morphogenesis using well defined explant cultures, gene transfection systems, and Western blotting. The results show that valve progenitor (cushion) cells secrete PN into the extracellular matrix, where it can bind to INTEGRINs and activate INTEGRIN/focal adhesion kinase signaling pathways and downstream kinases, PI3K/AKT and ERK. Functional assays with prevalvular progenitor cells showed that activating these signaling pathways promoted adhesion, migration, and anti-apoptosis. Through activation of PI3K/ERK, PN directly enhanced collagen expression. Comparing PN-null to WT mice also revealed that expression of hyaluronan (HA) and activation of hyaluronan synthase-2 (Has2) are also enhanced upon PN/INTEGRIN/focal adhesion kinase-mediated activation of PI3K and/or ERK, an effect confirmed by the reduction of HA synthase-2 in PN-null mice. We also identified in valve progenitor cells a potential autocrine signaling feedback loop between PN and HA through PI3K and/or ERK. Finally, in a three-dimensional assay to simulate normal valve maturation in vitro, PN promoted collagen compaction in a kinase-dependent fashion. In summary, this study provides the first direct evidence that PN can act to stimulate a valvulogenic signaling pathway.

The door can hit them on the way out.
Many of the Overwatch 2 developer blogs posted this week have focused on whats coming in the quickly-approaching season three, set to launch on Feb. 7.
To close out the week, though, game director Aaron Keller looked to the future and commented on a few perpetual pain points that fans have asked about. In the newest Directors Take blog, Keller touched on some issues regarding maps within Overwatch 2.
The biggest news for players is that map poolsa very contentious feature added in the games sequelwill be eliminated in season four, which should begin in mid-April. With map pools, certain maps were taken out of the rotation in each season to create a more specific selection. In theory, this would allow players to get used to the maps and learn them better for competitive play. But in execution, it apparently didnt work out that way.
You were right. We were wrong, Keller said, fulfilling the dreams of thousands of Overwatch 2 fans who are always convinced theyre right when giving critiques about the game.
Keller went on to note that the game doesnt have enough maps to truly justify using map pools. He did, however, note that the idea may return in the future when Overwatch 2 has more maps to use. If we were to bring them back, they would probably rotate at a faster rate, potentially every week, he said.
Players are often convinced that certain maps appear more frequently than others and have dinged the development team for that fact. Keller clarified today that this isnt intentional, but that the games matchmaker tries to avoid people playing the same map as well as the same game mode over a short period of time. Because of this, Push maps appeared at a higher frequency due to how few of them currently exist in the game.
Conspiracy theorists got a slight win with that admission, but Keller noted that this will be mitigated in a future season.
Other future changes include an issue with spawn points, especially on Escort or Hybrid maps. For most of Overwatchs lifespan, if a player dies as the opposing team takes a point, theres a chance that player spawns at the previous spawn point instead of the new one. In a later season, the team will be taking a look at this and will attempt to improve it.
Players have also noted that the latest events focused too heavily on event-specific modes, like the most recent Battle for Olympus. Future events will include more challenges that let you play the way you prefer instead of focusing so hard on limited-time modes.
Though its been discussed in the developer roadmaps about Overwatch 2s future, Keller reminded players of a big feature coming later in the year in this blog: A new game mode, which comes with new maps, is scheduled for a seasonal release sometime in 2023.

Capitalism was born in England, yet the dominant Western conceptions of modernity have come from elsewhere, tably from France, the historical model of bourgeois society. In this lively and wide-ranging book, Ellen Meiksins Wood argues that what is supposed to have epitomized bourgeois modernity, especially the emergence of a modern state and political culture in Continental Europe, signalled the persistence of precapitalist social property relations. Conversely, the absence of a modern state and political discourse in England testified to the presence of a well-developed capitalism. The fundamental flaws in the British ecomy are t just the symptoms of arrested development but the contradictions of the capitalist system itself. Britain today, Wood maintains, is the most thoroughly capitalist culture in Europe. This book is as interesting and provocative to observers of contemporary capitalism as to historians of early modern Europe or Western political thought.
Ellen Meiksins Wood, for many years Professor of Political Science at York University, Toronto, is the author of many books, including Democracy Against Capitalism and, with Verso, The Pristine Culture of Capitalism, The Origin of Capitalism, Peasant-Citizen and Slave, Citizens to Lords, Empire of Capital and Liberty and Property.

Dennis Puts U.S. and U.K. Holdings on the Block, Excluding The Week and Maxim U.K.
By Marrecca Fiore
Lad mag publisher Dennis Publishing said it has put its entire company, excluding the growing weekly publication The Week and Maxim U.K., on the block. The company, which owns Maxim, Stuff, and Blender, tried to sell its U.S. assets last year. The company’s three U.S. publications took in some $314.8 million in ad dollars last year, according to Publisher’s Information Bureau statistics, and have about 4.6 million subscribers, combined.
Dennis also owns 25 international editions, numerous Web and mobile content sites, branded network and cable television programs, a satellite radio channel and various branded product extensions.
Media banker Reed Phillips of DeSilva + Phillips said the company explored selling the U.S. assets to several strategics last year. He said the company is now, more than likely, hoping to attract interest from private equity firms. "I think the timing for this (sale) is not as good as it would have been a year or two ago, when the magazines and Maxim, in particular, was a hot commodity," he said. Phillips said he believes Dennis would have sold its U.S. holding last year if it could have garnered a price tag of $200 million or better. Others have said Dennis was hoping for about $250 million.
Phillips said the addition of the international assets may result in the company being broken up into separate entities. "It feels to me like it might be sold to two different buyers, one U.S.-centric buyer and one U.K.-centric buyer," he said.
While The Week has been growing, Dennis’ lad magazines have struggled in an environment that saw its chief competitor, FHM, fold last year. In 2006, Maxim saw its ad revenues decline 0.6 percent to $193.1 million, and its ad pages decrease 6.8 percent to 930.64. Stuff’s ad revenues declined 7.8 percent to $64 million, while its ad pages dropped 14 percent to 615.21. But Blender fared well last year with ad pages growing 12.4 percent to 794.66 and revenues growing 38 percent to $57.8 million.
All three publications saw their newsstand sales decline in the second half of last year, however. Blender’s single copy sales dropped 23 percent between July and December of last year to 62,532 from 81,670 in 2005. Stuff declined 34.9 percent in the same period with single copy sales of 175,824. And Maxim, which in its heyday was selling 900,000 copies at the newsstand, was down 12.2 percent to 450,575.
In 2006, The Week posted a 34.3 percent increase in ad revenue last year to $23.9 million, up from $17.8 million in 2005.
Maxim 930.64, -6.8%
Stuff 615.21, -14%
Blender 794.66, +12.4%
2006 Ad Revenue
Maxim $193.1 million, -0.6%
Stuff $64 million, -7.8%
Blender $57.8 million, +38

In Star Trek: Nemesis, the Argo (a named Type-17 Shuttlecraft aboard the Enterprise-E) made its debut. It was a cargo shuttle modified to carry an all-terrain buggy, that had a remote control that could be used to pilot the Argo from afar. It had recessed warp nacelles as well as fold-down wings that improved maneuverability in atmosphere. The buggy had a rear-mounted phaser cannon. Both the shuttle and the buggy were designed to be rugged.
EDIT: Normally the cargo shuttle would not have the Phaser Banks, but if your players wanted to modify it to have weapons, the Phaser Banks are Escalation 2.

Let Me Tell You A Secret, Child
Sorry. I forgot what I was going to write. Feels like petroleum jelly at my eyes. They’re just tears that refuse to fall. Finding it too hard to sleep even though my head is begging for it. There’s the jelly again. It’s far too hot to sleep. I wish I weren’t wearing a sweater right now. It’s too hard to type like this. The light hurts my eyes and the jelly won’t go away. I really want to draw. I want to imagine and explore, but my mind says it’s time for bed. My eyes say it’s time to close for the night. A tear finally fell, and now I am crying. I don’t know if they are sad tears or not. I think of sad things but my heart is indifferent. I must stop to wipe a tear. Still thinking of sad things. I think of something sweet and innocent. I want to share it with someone but no wants it. Right now I do not like anyone. Right now I do not want to share with anyone. This makes me truly sad. I stop to wipe a tear. I am not sad anymore. My hand is tired. I think of more sad things. My heart is still indifferent. I still do not like anyone. We do not go to sleep angry. The clock ticks loudly. I shed another tear. I like the sound of the clock. It makes me happy. My hand is not as tired anymore. I think of things I must do before going to bed. I think of all the nightmares I will have when I am asleep. A voice speaks idly in the back of my mind. I ignore it. I think of something sad and the jelly returns to my eyes. I wish I could remember what I wanted to write. I shed a tear.
I’ve heard her laugh and I’ve seen her walk.
Even I can tell she ain’t right.
I watched the world tumble and fall. He watched the stars turn to dust. The darkest sky… We didn’t recognize anything. Everything is so new to us now.
“So, uh… weird place huh?” Raze snorted and flopped in Princess’ lap. “Can I eat your dreams?” Princess screamed and pushed Raze off of her lap. “EEEE. A RAT. OH JESUS. GET IT AWAY. KILL IT!!!!” She hid behind Drew.”HANSEL. WE MUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. THIS PLACE IS INFESTED!”
Trevor turned and made a face at the scream. “I wonder how long it took her to practice that cliche of a scream.”
Drew sighed and picked Raze up by the tail. “He’s just a demon thing. Incubus or something.” Raze swatted at him vehemently until he was placed back on Drew’s shoulder. Raze staaaaared at Princess, stretching his wings out in a threatening manner. “I am NOT a RAT! I’m a lot smarter than those things!” Hansel groaned, rubbing his face.
Serenity couldn’t help but smile. “You promised to marry her.” She walked past Hansel to move to the stairway. Princess eeped, “It talks!!!!” and watched Raze in surprise. Luke heard the scream, but was very engulfed in looking at a suit of armor. Raze “feh“‘d at her and hopped down from Drew’s shoulder. He skittered up to Serenity, making grabby hands at her. Serenity picked Raze up just like she should pick up a baby, craddling him. “Once you’re able to keep him out of the fridge for more than a day, he isn’t so hard to get along with.” Princess frowned and stood, straightening out her dress. Dreww snorted at the comment, but didn’t move from his spot.
A Boy and His Dog
“I LOVE IT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE IT! I LOVE WATCHING THEM RUN AWAY FROM EVERY FAILURE!
On again about some mortal.
”I watch them change, I watch them adapt! They’re like the lowest level of bacteria, clinging to life long after it’s ended.”
Sitting there on his throne, I sometimes wonder what goes on in his mind. He always has a lot to say, especially on his good days. Sometimes I think I misunderstand him.
“Why are you so fascinated with them, your highness?”
“They’re cowards. You know that ridiculous saying, ‘If you can’t beat them, join them?’ That’s all they ever do. Shift from one place to the next. ‘Oh! I’m like a rolling stone! Oh I’m like dust in the wind!’ I’d like to see them use that one on me. The real men… are the ones that never change.”
“Stubborn as stubborn is. I like the martyrs. They’re more fun to take out of the equation. When they’re screaming, begging, PLEADING for you to spare their life, tell me, where is the fun in that? A real work on the ears.
He sighs, resting his head on his arm. I don’t understand the question. My response is the usual one: tilt my head to the side innocently. To him, it’s just a cue to continue talking.
“But when they’re silent… when they have nothing to regret… couldn’t you say that I’ve truly won?”
It’s really just an inquiry rather than an attempt at imparting wisdom. By now, I can tell that after two thousand years, he is finally lost. Two thousand years and still just a boy; growing into the throne.
Every day I watch him, growing more and more. Every day, I spy him stalking to his throne, snapping his fingers, and tapping his foot, only to recoil at the first sign of adversity. Every day I listen to him, ranting and raving, raising his voice, and demanding every last bit of the patience offered to him by lesser beings… only for him to fall short when resolve is tested. Every day I watch him, flaunting his apathy like no other, only for him to be humbled by the kindness the world tends to show. In the end, he’s no better than the men who plead for their lives at his hands. In the end, he’s still just a little prince. Still learning, still discovering.
And me, I’m still just a dog. I could leave, go off on a little adventure; take a few table scraps and walk with a curious person… just for a little while. But where is the fun in that? When they welcome you with open arms and offer you the last bit of food on their plate… sometimes, the real adventures are the ones you never see coming.
To be chased by dog nappers, to almost go hungry for a day, and to be denied ones freedom, because I don’t have hands. Only paws.
“It’s not like you even care what I’m saying, you’re probably thinking about food or going for a walk or some other base thing you canines drool over.”
I wag my tail. Not to be polite. I just find it amusing is all.
“Correct as always, your highness.”
But a prince always needs someone to share their ideas with. That close friend who’s indispensable, like a boy needs his dog. When I go, he’ll be all alone; curled up on his throne— his daddy’s throne, cold and crying.
When I go… I’ll be all alone, alone in a world full of mortals whose lives end like the flicker of a candle’s flame; curled up beneath a park bench somewhere, cold and hungry. In the end, I’m still just a puppy, still curious, still restless.
Looking back on our little conversations, it seems like it’ll be only a little while longer before he realizes that mankind isn’t so black and white. All we really are is a boy and his dog.
All these wonderful things I have to say to you, and they have become lost in the abyss of an uncertain mind!
Your pretty face.
To the towne of Cording and the House of Flores,
“I won’t go,” she said, “I don’t want to.”

I only managed to finish the muslin pattern for the shirt today. Here is what it looks like. Kind of, as Dylan said, baggy. I don't care. Baggy is in these days.
Here is the fabric that my shirt will eventually be made of:

We asked some of your favorite travel bloggers: What is the best beach in the Philippines?
It’s a difficult question, to say the least. After all, the Philippines is made up of over 7000 islands, fringed by miles of shoreline. Picking just one out of countless coves and beaches is no easy business. Besides, how do you judge a beach? The fineness of the sand? The clarity of the water? The richness of its wildlife? The grandeur of the landscape? In the end, we told them: pick the one that allowed the best, most unforgettable experience. And here are their answers.
Note: This is Part 2 of 3. If you missed the first batch, you will find it here. Also, this is in no particular order.
WHAT'S IN THIS GUIDE?
11. Biri Island, Northern Samar
Location: Biri, Northern Samar
Blogger: Yoshke Dimen of The Poor Traveler
We all have a picture of the perfect beach paradise — azure water, gentle waves, white sand. Most of the country’s most popular beaches have all three. The northern coast of Biri Island is not one of them.
The waves here don’t roll; they ravage. “Every punching wave is a stroke of art and every gusty storm is a painful dash of necessary sacrifice — the torture in art, the beauty in chaos,” I described it on The Poor Traveler blog. The result: six staggering rock formations, masterfully sculpted by nature, that intimidate not just with their immensity but, more importantly, their splendor.
Biri Island is one of the 18 islands of the Balicuatro Group in Northern Samar. “These rock formations referee the fierce waters of San Bernardino Strait and the Pacific Ocean. But for those who wish to swim, there are also natural pools nestled by the shore that are more friendly to swimmers! Biri Island is also a fantastic diving destination so pack your gears!”

12. Matukad Island
Location: Caramoan, Camarines Sur
Blogger: Vins Carlos of The Poor Traveler
While Biri Island is my personal choice, PhilippineBeaches.org’s co-founder Vins Carlos sticks to the classic ivory-laced, sapphire-soaked shores! His pick — Matukad Island in Caramoan. But like Biri, it is specked with breathtaking rock formations. “In between these giant rocks are patches of powdery white sand that is sure to delight beach lovers. The island also harbors a small hidden lake.”

13. Secret Beach, Palawan
Location: Matinloc Island, El Nido, Palawan
Blogger: Enrico Dee of Byahilo.com
El Nido has many secrets. One of them — the Secret Beach, a small half-dipped pocket of white sand that is enveloped by the giant karst cliffs of Matinloc Island. Accessible only through a narrow crevice, it requires visitors to swim one at a time. Challenge, huh? But that’s part of its charm if you ask Enrico Dee of Byahilo.
“I put on my mask and snorkel and voila! The view under my feet is indescribable. I got overwhelmed in everything that I saw. I then started to swim slowly towards the opening,” he recalls. “I was surrounded by towering limestone rocks, while I was just lying on a fine white sandy beach.”
Rumor has it that this is the actual place that inspired author Alex Garland to write his novel The Beach when he stayed in El Nido.

14. Quiminatin Island, Palawan
Location: Cuyo, Palawan
Blogger: Benj Espina
“For me, this is the best beach in the Philippines,” Benj Espina makes it clear in his post about this almost unheard of paradise tucked in the middle of the Cuyo Islands. Its remoteness has kept the island’s low profile, but divers en route to Tubbataha Reef who make a stopover here are treated to a rare opportunity to get to know this exquisite beauty.
“It was strikingly beautiful,” Benj adds. “It was great to find a seemingly untouched island out in the Sulu Sea free from human settlements and the development.
“The Cuyo Islands are in the middle of the Sulu Sea. It is relatively far from a major city – Manila is around 24 hours away by boat and the nearest airport that has commercial flights are in Panay Island.”
More about it here: Quiminatin Island
15. Kalanggaman Island, Leyte
Location: Palompon, Leyte
Blogger: Sinjin Pineda of Libotero.com
If you love sandbars, you will fall head over heels for Kalanggaman Island. This barely touched paradise has enjoyed a lot of attention in recent years as more and more beach-chasers discover its postcard-perfect allure. Sinjin Pineda can’t help but agree. “With talcum white sand bars extending to both sides, Kalanggaman Island is a paradise. Its pristine waters and almost lake-like placidness make it perfect for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.” The other side of the island has stronger waves and more sea-like attitude.
And the sandbars! Both ends of this long island are fringed with a sandbar reaching out to the blues. Warning, though: some parts slope so steeply.

16. Malamawi Island, Basilan
Location: White Beach, Malamawi Island, Basilan
Blogger: Gay Mitra-Emami of Pinay Travel Junkie
How many beaches in the Philippines are called “White Beach”? We don’t know. But what this woman is sure of is, Malamawi Island’s White Beach is the best of them all. Gay Mitra-Emami has nothing but praises for this humble destination. ” When we docked Malamawi’s makeshift port, we hired motorcycles to get to the beach. I was surprised how beautiful their white beach is,” she shares. “I guess I was captivated by its charm of isolation.”
More about her visit here: Malamawi Island, Basilan
17. Puraran Beach, Catanduanes
Location: Baras, Catanduanes
Blogger: Mervz of Pinoy Adventurista
Facing the mighty and unforgiving Pacific, Puraran Beach is a topnotch surfing site. Located in the town of Baras, Catanduanes, the options to get here by air is quite limited. But those who go out of their mainstream way to get here are greeted with a delightful and highly exhilarating mini-slaps from the ocean.
“It is home to the so-called majestic waves,” Mervz notes. “Stunning landscape of golden sand beach, clean and clear waters, marvelous rock formations, and views of mountains and the bay welcomed us. It’s quite hot during that time as the sun rose higher but the strong wind blowing from the ocean kept us cool.”

18. Dahican Beach, Davao Oriental
Location: Mati, Davao Oriental
Blogger: Marky Ramone Go of Nomadic Experiences
From surfing in Catanduanes to skimboarding in Davao Oriental! This seven-kilometer cove is the sparkling gem of Mati, Davao Oriental. Popular among the wave-riding crowd, it is being groomed as the skimboarding capital. “Time was like a blur as if moments are passing by gracefully, with an after-stroke from a master painter,” Marky describes how it feels to stand at Dahican Beach. “From the blue skies to the crystal clear waters, even to the movements of the skimboarders who are otherwise known as the Amihan Boys, you could sense a feeling of calm.”
Dahican means “to come in from the sea.” The name was given to this beach for the pawikan, Hawksbills and Olive Ridleys, that emerge from the sea and climb up to the shore to lay eggs. If you’re Dahican-bound, make sure to not disturb these gentle creatures when you’re there.

19. Bounty Beach, Cebu
Location: Malapascua Island, Cebu
Blogger: Edcel Suyo of Solo Flight Ed
Malapascua Island is most famous for the thresher sharks that roam its waters. Divers from around the world are drawn to these sharks and other marine creatures that make up the rich biodiversity of the island. But Malapascua has something for beach bums, too! As Edcel witnessed it firsthand, this small piece of heaven north of Cebu stuns visitors with pearly grains and multi-colored sunsets. Edcel was so mesmerized, he wrote the island a letter.
“I swam in your waters and jumped from your cliff. I dove into the deep and cruised along your shores. You shared so many faces in different times of the day. However, only during the later part did you show your real colors.
“I stepped out and the light revealed another shade. Orange and plum; my eyes were at ease despite the lack of rest. I lay on the sand and witnessed how you painted the sky and filled it with enough hue to keep my mind at peace. The sea breeze and the calm waves served as a sweet lullaby. It was almost perfect.”

20. Salagdoong Beach, Siquijor
Location: Maria, Siquijor
Blogger: Renz Bulseco of The Traveling Nomad
For some people, Siquijor is almost synonymous to witchcraft and mysticism. But anyone who has been to the Island of Fire will tell you if there’s something this place should be known for — its sheer, natural beauty. Beaches, for example, are spectacular in Siquijor. Just ask Renz. His favorite: Salagdoong Beach.
Cradled in the town of Maria, it is managed by the Provincial Tourism Office. “Despite being a public beach,” Renz shares, “it is still clean and well-maintained. Kudos to the local government of Siquijor!
“Sun rays torridly kissed our skin as we explored the public beach. Although in my opinion, the beach would look more quaint if it remained as it is. But still, the beauty of Salagdoong Beach is still there – well maintained and the locals are disciplined as well.”

Like many young SaaS startups, we had no shortage of marketing and sales data, but it wasn’t easy to comprehend. The information was there, but it was scattered all over the place.
Some bits and pieces could be found in Google Analytics, while other data was stored in BigQuery and ProfitWell. This arrangement made it challenging to give a quick answer to basic questions on user conversions or to comment on traffic rates and MRR. It wasn’t until we began creating custom dashboards to visualize our data that everything started to click.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) officially launched in October 2020. Google’s update has left marketers and business owners scrambling to figure out how GA4 will affect their current (and future) marketing and data efforts.
Do you need to rush to install it on all your sites? What makes GA4 so different compared to the current version of Google Analytics?
In this article, we’ll fill you in on what you need to know.
When you hear “data segmentation”, it’s tempting to feel overwhelmed. Why? Segmentation can seem daunting (or boring) to those unfamiliar with it.
It’s an unfortunate because segmentation is perhaps one of the most effective tools at our disposal. The ability to slice and dice your Google Analytics data is the difference between mediocre, surface-level insights and meaningful, useful analysis.
In this article we’ll show you how to setup your Google Analytics to unlock actionable insights.
Not long ago, it was common for marketers and web analysts to spend the bulk of their day staring at Excel spreadsheets, manually collecting and organizing ad spend data across dozens of sources.
You had to go to each advertising account and export statistics on advertising campaigns, such as ad impressions, clicks, and costs, then export data from the web analytics system, and, finally, combine all the data manually.
For a long time, I considered standard Google Analytics reports to be the best way to get useful insights. From time to time, I struggled with sampling, limitations, and weird results, but I didn’t see a way around it—until I discovered Google Analytics 360 and raw data exports into Google BigQuery.
After a few hours playing around with SQL, I was already able to deliver insights I never could have with aggregated Google Analytics reports. Since that day, I’ve been exploring how raw data can be a web analyst’s best friend.

A few days ago I posted some free American Girl Doll Valentine’s printables, and they were a hit! Girls who are in the American girl Doll phase love to share their interest with their friends at school, and having American Girl Valentine’s Day cards is one way to do it! Unfortunately, it is hard to find these types of printables. You can find Owl Valentine’s all day long! Or the generic stuff, but nowhere will you find fun American Girl themed cards. So, I decided to make a few to share with you. The ones below are different than the first batch I shared. I told you that if you had any requests, please feel free to comment with them. And you did! Here are some of the requests I received.
I made a small version of the Kit & Ruthie card just in case someone needed a smaller option that fit more cards on a page. These are all made to fit regular piece of paper, so you can simply print from home. However, I highly recommend saving these printables to a flash drive and taking them in to a Staples, Office Depot, or Fed Ex. I do this every time! It’s so quick and easy and I don’t waste my printer ink. It is very inexpensive too. Much better than having to switch my printer ink from all the crafting that I do. You can also send the order online so it’s ready for pick up when you go in.
The printables that I did do not have a to and from space on them. They have a cute phrase and the picture of the doll or dolls. I did this so you can add the to and from option on the back if you want to. Also, be creative and tape a sucker, heart chocolate, smarties, or something fun on the back! I know that Target has cute erasers right now with cupcakes on them. That would be cute for Grace!
Just like before, if you have another request, just leave a comment!

The metadata are defined as the informations behind the data. The purpose of the metadata in meteorological activity is to represent where, when, how and by whom meteorological data has been obtained, colected and recorded. Ideally, a comprehensive metadata base should contain records of all changes that have occured throughout the entire period in which the meteorological station has functioned, the so called „station history”. This paper renders the preliminary results of the analysed wind parameter values (percentages of wind calm and wind frequency) for the time period between 1961 and 2015 at Iași meteorological station. The data were analysed based on various historical metadata information (e.g. the emergence of new construction(s) around the station, relocation of the station, changes in the equipment used to measure the wind etc.), information that may influence the wind parameters measured at Iași weather station.
This paper aims to present the evolution of the meteorological terminology, from the 17th century Grigore Ureche’s chronicle and bishop Amfilohie Hotiniul's manuscript on Physics (Moldavia, late 18th Century) to the mid 19th century writings of Teodor Stamati (Moldova) and Julius Barasch (Wallachia), also considering pop science literature, newspapers, such as “Albina Românească” and weather superstitions published in various calendars, and disputed by intelectuals like Mihail Kogălniceanu.

Dr. Xenia Deans, a dentist at Cornerstone Family Healthcare, was a guest on WALL Radio Thursday, February 11, 2021 to discuss Children’s Dental Health Month.
A healthy mouth and teeth are an important part of a child’s overall wellness. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning. In fact, studies have shown that children with poor dental health perform worse in school than children who have good dental health. Children with poor dental health are less inclined to speak up in the classroom, socialize in the classroom and even smile.
WALL Radio Interview with Dr. Deans
Please click the link below to hear Dr. Deans’ entire interview or read on to learn more. Thank you to WALL Radio for having Cornerstone Family Healthcare as a guest. To schedule a dental appointment with a Cornerstone provider, call 845-563-8000.
Children’s Dental Health Tips
- Lead by example—Kids model what parents do, so it’s important that your kids see you brushing your teeth twice a day. If they don’t see you doing it, they won’t be inclined to do it themselves.
- Aim to brush twice per day (morning and night) and floss once per day for good health—Poor dental health increases the risk of a bacterial infection in the blood stream, which can affect valves in your heart.
- Drink more water—A 12 oz bottle of Coke has 39g of sugar (equivalent to almost 10 sugar packets!) Sugary soft drinks and juices trigger the bacteria in your mouth to produce acid and cause cavities
- Some chewing gums help prevent cavities—Some brands of gum (such as Trident) are sweetened with xylitol, a bacteria fighting ingredient that has been clinically proven to help prevent cavities.
- Early childhood cavities is often caused by milk—Try to avoid a bottle or sippy cup to your child when he or she is going to bed or taking a nap.
- Flossing is important—Wherever teeth touch needs to be cleaned! When you do not floss, you are missing over 40% of tooth surfaces.
- Schedule a dental checkup—Dental checkups should be every six months starting when a child gets their first tooth.
It’s hard to believe that we’re already planning for kids to head back to school. While the 2020-20201 school year may be a little different than before, one things remains the same – the importance of your child’s annual back-to-school physical exam. We recommend that your child receives an annual wellness checkup every year, even if it is not required by the school district.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Annual Physical
Annual physicals are a valuable way to monitor your child’s physical health and development, as well as their emotional and social development. Wellness checkups are tailored to your child’s age and are an excellent opportunity for you or your child to ask the doctor about any concerns you have.
During your child’s annual exam, we will:
- Do a physical exam, including height and weight
- Check blood pressure, vision and hearing
- Inquire about your child’s development (social, gross and fine motor skills, speech and communication skills, and more), nutrition, exercise habits and sleep patterns
- Review your child’s medical history & immunization status
- Provide age-appropriate safety information & health education
- Follow the standards set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Make Sure Immunizations are Up-to-Date
To prevent the spread of diseases and to keep all kids of all ages safe and healthy, students from kindergarten to college must have proof of immunizations before they can start school. During your child’s physical, your provider will make sure all immunizations are up-to-date, and administer vaccines if needed. It’s important that whoever brings your child to his or her appointment knows the child’s medical and vaccination history. Make sure to keep vaccination records (sometimes called immunization records) in a safe place. These records provide a history of all the vaccines you received as a child and adult, and may be required for certain jobs, travel abroad, or school registration.
How to Prepare for Your Visit
The necessary health forms may vary by school district, so please check with the district where your child will be attending school to get the proper forms prior to the appointment for your child’s physical exam. If your child is also receiving a sports physical examination (required if your child will be participating in any sports activities during the school year), please also bring these forms to your appointment.
Schedule an Appointment Today
Don’t delay. Beat the back-to-school rush and book your appointment today by calling 845-563-8000. Safety procedures are in place and we are properly sanitizing all exam rooms in between each session to keep you safe and healthy. Thank you for trusting Cornerstone Family Healthcare with your health.

There's a reason Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban keeps a tight leash on his staff, Lane Kiffin was at it again claiming Alabama's backfield was better than any in the NFL*. Of course this sparked lots of discussion and of course that led to NFL.com releasing a list. After being snubbed on their WR list the Packers trio of Eddie Lacy, James Starks, and Jonathan Franklin get some love from the pundits after they each put up a 100 yard game last season. No big deal, just happy to pass on some good Packer related news.
* For what it's worth I don't think Kiffin's statement was crazy at all. The backfield of TJ Yeldon, Kenyan Drake, and Derrick Henry will be a force this year. Yeldon is a stud, probably a first round pick next season and probably a started. Henry put 100 yards on 8 carries in a very forgettable Sugar Bowl and will no doubt in my mind be the next great back from 'Bama following Ingram, Richardson, Lacy, and Yeldon. If Drake can get his fumbles under control he may be in that succession as well.

Voluntary contributions from readers will help us employ interns and freelance journalists, expand our content, and reach a larger audience.
Why This Matters: After the President suggested that disinfectants might be a good treatment for COVID-19, many worried about the public improperly using household cleaning products to treat themselves. But there are also manufacturers who peddle dangerous products and we need to be able to trust the government when it says a product should or should not be used in fighting COVID.
At a time when there are growing concerns over future food shortages and food waste, the added worry of food being unsafe to eat is one more reality Americans must face in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. As Civil Eats reported, the FDA, the EPA, and the USDA oversee the nation’s food safety net […]
New research from the FDA has shown that 7 chemicals traditionally found in chemical (vs mineral) sunscreen enter the human bloodstream at levels that exceed safety thresholds. Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the arm of the FDA which conducted the studies explained that just because an ingredient enters […]
For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration has determined that genetically engineered (GE) AquaAdvantage salmon are safe to eat — that their genetic modifications are safe for the fish and thus for humans too. The FDA also found that the claims about the rapid growth of the fish are also true and also will not cause harm to humans.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has spent the better part of the last two days trying to reassure the public that food safety is not at risk during the shutdown. Yesterday and into today, through a series of tweets, Dr. Gottlieb explained (1) that routine food safety inspections are not taking place now; (2) that he is trying to get them re-started by next week – though he is not sure how to do it because FDA guidance requires routine inspections to cease when there is no funding; and that (3) high-risk food safety inspections are continuing. The key fact that most people don’t know is that there are very few food safety inspections in the U.S, which Politico’s Helena Bottemiller Evich pointed out in a story and in a devastating series of tweets.
Why This Matters: The good news is that your food is almost as safe now as it ever was. The bad news is that our safety inspection system is woefully underfunded and inadequate. But we should have already deduced that fact given the two deadly e-coli outbreaks in the last year. The law on food inspections is relatively strong, but not being fully implemented. And lax agricultural practices and health and safety regulations regarding pesticides and use of certain fertilizers create further loopholes that create more risk than most people realize.

The Deputy of the Nikolaev city Council from fraction “Our land” Vladislav Entin considers it appropriate to eliminate all points of reception of scrap metal in Nikolaev.
He stated this yesterday, November 9, during session of the Nikolaev city Council.
In his opinion, such decision will allow to solve the problem of open hatches and metal thefts in the city.
– We will create the most likely situation with the theft of scrap metal at our cemeteries, hatches, has reached the point that in the hallways off the metal door. You need to make a map of collection points, which are in Nikolaev, so we can either create a control group and together with the police to check the legality of their placement. And, accordingly, take action: either to go to court to close these points, so they never functioned. Yesterday saw the statistics, Nikolaev is among the five cities, where there are still such practices in the private sector or private buildings, structures accepted scrap metal. In other cities, has no such. In the river we saw the mayor Filatov in two days actually shut down 100 points on scrap metal reception. We would like to see it, too, responded the mayor, the deputies, respectively, will shoulder in this matter, and close all the items that we did not know more problems, no open hatches, or with the theft of scrap metal, – said Vladislav Entin.
At the same time, he appealed to the representative of the police patrol that attended the session, with a request to help MPs and provide information on points of reception of scrap metal, which are currently operating in the city.

Williams St John Ambulance sub-centre in dire need of volunteers to keep the life-saving service running
The St John Ambulance sub-centre in Williams is calling for people to volunteer — even just “one day per month” — to help keep the life-saving service running around the clock.
The sub-centre has been struggling to recruit new volunteers, especially emergency medicine responders to drive ambulances, in order to fill its rosters.
Chairman Neville Steicke said there was a misconception about the amount of time people needed to volunteer.
The local volunteers collectively respond to about 130 jobs per year, an average of about two or three call-outs each week.
The Great Southern Police District is coming off its worst road toll in five years after 27 people died on the region’s roads in 2021.
St John Ambulance volunteers were among the first emergency services personnel to arrive at the scene of many of those major crashes.
However Mr Steicke said despite what people thought, most of the calls they responded to were not road crashes or major incidents.
“Most of the jobs that we go to don’t require lights and sirens,” he said.
“When people get older a lot of the time they don’t have any family or friends around them so when they get to a point when they need help they call the ambulance.
“To go and help those people and see the look on their face — they just relax when we walk in, it can be one of the most rewarding things.
“You are actually helping someone who sometimes for nothing else just wants someone to hold their hand.”
St John have a wellbeing and support department that sends out welfare crews or calls volunteers to check in with them after major crashes or events.
“For 20 years I don’t know of anyone that has ever pulled out because of a single job,” Mr Steicke said.
“Sometimes there are cumulative affects over years and years and some sub-centres are worse than others given the nature of the work and where they are located.
“(The support department) normally rings within 36 hours after an event, because that is the critical period, just to do a check-up.
“We do a fair bit of internal self-support as well, it’s like a family here.”
The Williams community relies heavily on the volunteer-run ambulance service as the closest hospital is the Narrogin Health Service, about 30km away.
“The biggest thing in regional WA is that if there is no ambulance service in the town, then you’ve got to wait for an ambulance to come from a neighbouring facility,’” Mr Steicke said.
“Sometimes we come across to Narrogin and we also go across to Boddington and that’s a 30-minute drive.
“But Boddington has a hospital — we don’t have a hospital — so you are relying on local people to run the ambulance to service the community.”

As the odds of a Donald Trump presidency rose late Tuesday night, more Americans appeared to be looking for a way out. Literally. Canada’s immigration website crashed repeatedly, apparently from a surge in traffic.
The site first went down around 10:30 p.m. Eastern, and was functioning only intermittently after that. As of 12:30 a.m. Eastern, the site was back up.
The Telegraph also noticed that U.S. searches for the word “emigrate” jumped too:

The 4-Day Workweek Could Soon Become a Reality In the UK, 70 companies are paying their employees to take a day off each week. It's going suprisingly well.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
Last June, more than 70 companies in the UK signed up for the six-month experiment of a four-day work week.
The idea was to test what would happen if they gave employees one paid day off a week.
Halfway through the trial, 88% of the companies report that the four-day week is working 'well' for their business. Moreover, 46% say their business productivity has "maintained around the same level," while 34% report that it has "improved slightly."
"The four-day week trial so far has been extremely successful for us," said Claire Daniels, CEO at Trio Media, one of the companies involved in the trial. "Productivity has remained high, with an increase in wellness for the team, along with our business performing 44% better financially."
What is the 4-Day Work Week Experiment?
The 4-day work week pilot program is a six-month trial of a four-day working week, with no loss in pay for employees. The initiative was created by a non-profit 4 Day Week Global organization in partnership with researchers at Cambridge University, Boston College, and Oxford University.
Currently, there are pilot programs in the UK, US, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. 4-Day Work Week Global launches new programs every quarter in different regions.
Founded in New Zealand by architect Andrew Barnes and entrepreneur Charlotte Lockhart, 4-Day Week Global is dedicated to "supporting the idea of the 4-day week as a part of the future of work," according to their website. Lockhart says she is passionate about showing "the benefits of a productivity-focused and reduced-hour workplace."
More results from the 4-Day Workweek Pilot Program
More than 3,300 employees are getting a paid day off weekly as part of the 4-day workweek experiment in the UK.
The companies range from small enterprises to large corporations, spanning education, workplace consultancy, leadership, and personal development.
Participants were asked to take a survey. Thirty-five of the 41 companies responded that they were "likely" or "extremely likely" to consider continuing the four-day workweek. Six companies reported that productivity had significantly improved.
According to an article in The New York Times, some companies said the four-day week had given employees more time to exercise, take up hobbies, cook, and spend time with their families.
Nicci Russell, the Managing Director of Waterwise, admitted the pilot wasn't easy at first. "We have all had to work at it—some weeks are easier than others," he said. "But it's been great for our wellbeing, and we're definitely more productive already."

A serious concern in the design and use of biometric authentication systems is the privacy protection of the information derived from human biometric traits, especially since such traits cannot be replaced. Combining cryptography and biometrics, several recent works proposed to build the protection in the biometric templates themselves. While these solutions can increase the confidence in biometric systems when biometric information is stored for verification, they have been shown difficult to apply to real biometrics. In this work we present a biometric authentication technique that exploits multiple biometric traits. It is privacy-aware as it ensures privacy protection and allows the extraction of secure identifiers by means of cryptographic primitives. We also discuss the implementation of our approach by considering, as a significant example, the combination of iris and fingerprint biometrics and present experimental results obtained from real data. The implementation shows the feasibility of the scheme in practical applications.

For the past several years, something has been missing from my Saturday nights. I still shun society past 10:30 p.m. and switch on the television to hear the sound of jazzy saxophones.
I still snuggle up with a blanket, anticipating the moment when the game show voice of Don Pardo announces, "Live from New York, it's Saaaturday niiight" like the entire country has just won the lottery. That NBC staple still has enough magic in its quick-witted comedy to make me turn the television to Channel Six like a weekend job.
Recently, the skits just haven't been the same. I haven't laughed quite so much at the opening monologues and I haven't been particularly impressed by the presidential impersonations. The fast-paced zaniness that marked episodes 10 years ago has fallen flat, making me nostalgic for sketches with gold shorts, singing opera stars and Robert Goulet. It's just depressing.
Sarah Palin is NBC's new hope. She might be a scary choice for vice president, but she sure makes great SNL fodder. Once she appeared out of frozen obscurity to join the Republican ticket, she simultaneously shot McCain's campaign into the headlines and gave Tina Fey the opportunity for a brilliant performance.
Not only do the two resemble each other with an uncanniness found only in Olsen movies, but she also provides Fey with an inexperienced background, a wealth of quirky mannerisms and a funny accent to play with. It's like the show enlisted fate as a producer.
"Saturday Night Live" has already produced three epic skits with material provided by the Alaskan governor. There was the opening bit involving Fey as the Republican candidate and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Poehler played the former first lady who futilely sacrificed a portion of her life for a chance at the presidency, and Fey played the hockey mom who sacrificed very little and still achieved more than Clinton.
I felt like the show's writers interviewed each woman, analyzed their psyches and blew everything way out of proportion. It was perfect.
Then Palin gave the show another gift when she agreed to an interview with Katie Couric. The interview was painful to watch, as she stumbled over words and lost her train of thought, but Fey's parody was downright beautiful. It moved me.
If you've been keeping up with my blog (which I will shamelessly say can be accessed at blogs.thenews.org), you'll know I have yet to choose who I will be voting for in November. I have determined, however, Sarah Palin could never take over this country - even if she is practically neighbors with Putin.
On a whimsical day, I imagine her wearing a fishing hat and giving the Russian president obscure advice like Wilson on "Home Improvement." But that's only on a whimsical day. Any other time, I don't feel as optimistic.
But the silver lining in Palin's candidacy is if McCain gets elected and she becomes his No.1, she will surely improve the quality of one of my favorite television shows. She has already turned the tide of the season, which should get better as political drama adds spice to the sketches. For that contribution, I will be forever grateful.


TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.TO) said Wednesday it's considering building a second plant for its joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. as it aims to take advantage of growing vehicles sales in China.
The Japanese car maker is in talks with its Chinese partner to set up another plant and produce models other than the Camry sedan and Yaris compact at Guangzhou Toyota Motor Co., its 50/50 joint venture, a Toyota spokesman said.
Toyota, which became the world's largest automobile seller in the first quarter of 2007, is ramping up production capacity in China, which replaced Japan to become the world's second biggest auto market after the U.S. last year. The company said last December it would manufacture 80,000 to 90,000 Yaris compacts a year at the joint venture from mid-2008.
Another joint venture, Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., started producing the Corolla model at its No. 3 plant, Toyota said last week. The car maker is mulling the new plant and the production of other models as it targets increasing sales in China by 30% or more to over 400,000 vehicles in 2007. Toyota has said it hopes to grab a 10% share of China's overall auto market by 2010, up from about 4% last year. China, where auto sales rose 25% to 7.2 million vehicles in 2006, is becoming an important market for global car makers as demand for vehicles is expected to continue growing as the country's booming economy encourages consumption.
Some auto industry executives expect the Chinese auto market to grow to as large as 20 million vehicles annually by 2020.

This study concentrates on the free pure radial vibrations of hollow spheres made of hypothetically functionally simple power rule graded materials having identical inhomogeneity indexes for both Young's modulus and the density in an analytical manner. After offering the exact elements of the free vibration coefficient matrices for free-free, free-fixed, and fixed-fixed restraints, a parametric study is fulfilled to study the effects of both the aspect ratio and the inhomogeneity parameters on the natural frequencies. The outcomes are presented in both graphical and tabular forms. It was seen that the fundamental frequency is mostly affected by the inhomogeneity parameters rather than the higher ones. However, the natural frequencies except the fundamental ones are dramatically affected by the thickness of the sphere. It is also revealed that there is a linear relationship between the fundamental frequency and others in higher modes of the same sphere under all boundary conditions.
