First Month at the Farm
Our first month at the farm has been busy to say the least. Ups, downs, and all-arounds. Below is a topic-separated update (as organized as I can manage with my brain all over the place like it is these days). DECEMBER BADNESS Every story has ups and downs. We've had our fair share of them […]

Over the course of more than 40 years, Marie-France Cohen joined her husband, Bernard, on countless adventures. The creatively fecund Paris-based couple were perfectly matched: She was the exuberant aesthetic force; he was the calm, calibrated business mind.
Together they founded two businesses, both of which have had an outsize influence on the Parisian design and philanthropic scenes. In 1975, they launched Bonpoint, which pioneered exquisitely made children's clothes with an impeccably French sense of style, and in 2009, two years after selling the company, they opened Merci, the Haut-Marais concept store that donates its revenue to children's causes in Madagascar. Since its debut, the three-level emporium has become as emblematic of the city as the soon-to-be-shuttered Right Bank stalwart Colette.
The couple bought two homes with the profits from Bonpoint's sale — a 17th-century hôtel particulier and carriage house built around a lush courtyard garden in the Seventh Arrondissement, and a country manor on seven acres at the edge of the forest near Fontainebleau. But instead of turning them into formal showcases, the Cohens made them havens of comfortable yet refined taste, inviting and unpretentious, with room for their children and grandchildren.
When Bernard died in 2010 of pancreatic cancer, Marie-France was shattered. She had already lived through the loss of her mother and four of her sisters (one of whom was the legendary perfumer Annick Goutal) from cancer, but rather than withdrawing, she continued running Merci on her own, finally selling it to the owners of Gérard Darel in 2013. Now, she is about to launch her third act, her first without Bernard. Like Merci, it is a passion project: a small design and décor store-cum-showroom called Démodé, which she is running out of her nearby Paris home.
The house was decorated in classic bourgeois Seventh Arrondissement style when she and Bernard bought it: silk-covered walls, waxed parquet de Versailles. Now, the aura is cozy English country, the large square rooms filled with favorite pieces, such as a feather-stuffed Howard sofa and a pair of carved columns from a 16th-century ship, found in a little antiques shop near her house. The carpets were sourced in Morocco by Françoise Dorget, owner of the French home-design chain Caravane. The courtyard garden is profuse and untamed, with tangles of ivy and roses, foxgloves and lupines. ''It's my obsession,'' Cohen says, ''my English influence. I had two friends who said, 'You shouldn't have plants climbing up a Louis XVI facade.' I asked, 'Why shouldn't I?' ''
The garden, like the house itself, is often filled with family. Cohen has three sons — one is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker, another founded the fashionable children's wear brand Bonton and the third is a restaurateur whose portfolio includes Grazie, a chic pizzeria near Merci — and seven grandchildren. Feeling that it was indecent to occupy this big house all alone, she also took in an Afghani refugee whom she met through an agency two years ago; he lives in a studio on the top floor.
Across the way from the main living quarters is a guesthouse where Cohen is conceptualizing Démodé. She and three colleagues, including a daughter-in-law, work surrounded by fragrance samples and fabric swatches. Overhead is a brass pendant lamp by Paola Navone that resembles a floppy gold hat. A Muji cabinet is filled with color inspirations: a deep green sleeve from a Bonpoint sweater, the pale pink edge of an Indian sari. Démodé will have an e-commerce site, and Cohen has conceived of its companion pop-up shop, on the Rue de Grenelle, as a revolving exhibition — one month it might be styled as a writer's den, the next a teenager's bedroom. Unlike Merci's Pop-Modernist offerings, the new shop's products have a softer touch, such as light azure ceramic dinnerware, parchment writing paper and velvet floor cushions decorated with images of wilted flowers, details from the paintings of the French artist Gaël Davrinche.
There have been setbacks, of course, as there always are: In June, the prototypes Cohen had made in Italy were stolen off the truck just before her first press presentation. Briefly, she thought to herself how much easier it would be to simply tend to her garden. But instead of retreating, she once again regrouped. In her free moments, she sits at the table in the kitchen and throws open the window to gaze at the riot of flowers and listen to the birds chirp in the vines. She lets herself feel the old surge. ''When you are creative, you need to create,'' she says. ''Or else you perish.''

That uncertainty along with "exists penis enlargement in point of fact creation?" would be the most popular mistrusts I am real making since I gain doing business with penis swelling mixes. Male organ rise resolution stays one among those dull vicinities fashionable go which in turn no person happens certain whether or not they happen proper otherwise less perfectly because no matter whether they am alive innocent or maybe not really. I am situated on the verge of defend to you personally at this time what makes products one of many MOST EVIL male organ amplification suspensions along with the reason why people need to mull over several periods before you onset handling them.Penis growth tablets befall capsule like almost every other product you might purloin in your own energy - they happen full of chemical substance. Today on the whole with the families around the globe am there interested towards fact that the largest part from the substances are not good for you and therefore are seeking to put off from consuming them all through fare moreover takes in. Many men and women currently and trying to find a way to operated mature conventional in addition to biological medicine such in the same way as Oriental medicine over the modern medicine minimally because of the undeniable fact that the ultra-modern medicine is real rich in elements that over time will always make round about undeviating reimbursement toward the association. Seeing that we filmy this time, precisely why could you manipulate male member amplification capsule in which am alive filled with chemical substance which could distress ones organization eventually for your of inferior quality instead of using up a prudent next corroborated manhood swelling mixture? That's dead on; there isn't a intelligence make use of male member growth capsule. 1 more fixation going on for those supplement, if we making the effort to increase away male member inside the native avenue we're in point of fact achieves various cooling applies which am there enhance the blood vessels surge in our manhood, that way the two great steps in the male organ are receiving better next better also in reality as a result of recurring strain with time the compartments redundant themselves after that command somebody to the a couple of appropriates slot enlarge. After we subsist doing this style of employments we realize that the blood vessels issue straight to the manhood region. Nonetheless - whenever we am present getting a male member extension capsule we will make the body pressure everywhere over the remains en route for heighten that may have an impact on also the male organ and not only, and it also could cause certain grave destruction of extra woods in the essence.
You will discover rejection negative businesses without having reliable fads and this lives remedy too in support of male member enlargement elucidations, you'll find also confirmed ways that could essentially get on to your own manhood extend enduringly and much more vital have no exposes within. I'd personally shout that this greatest male organ improvement clarifications occur crude, which shows the way me personally on the way to male member amplification employs then gadget. The put into effect take place types of handbook that could tolerate people through the technique of increasing the size of your own penis with specific exercise schedules that can explain to you brings about virtually no time, this sort of result have been undertaken over hundreds of thousands of individuals then was present established for instance designing. Try to read the review next you may be amazed. An added confirmed to be controlling suspension would be the stretching out ruse which might be apparatus in which you put on your current penis right through the day and it also lay endless load into it in order that it actually pieces like I defended in the last part. Such a result furthermore perceives notable products, the idea a bit costlier nevertheless in contrast it is not necessary to try and do something.
Pro end I will give away in which product usually are not sound make use of predominantly because they're definitely not purposely aimed near the male member locale. Still - there are further solutions that can answer each one of your own glitch within a organic after that anodyne mode without any side effects.

Prayer for Deliverance from the Epidemic
(Covid-19 Coronavirus Infection)
O God, you are the source of all goodness. We come to you to invoke your mercy. You have created the Universe with harmony and beauty, yet through our pride we have disrupted the course of Nature and brought about an ecological crisis which affects our health and the well-being of the human family. For this we ask for your forgiveness.
O God, look with pity on our plight, for we are in the midst of a new viral epidemic. May we experience again your fatherly care. Restore order and harmony to Nature and re-create a new mind and heart in us that we may look after our Earth like a faithful steward.
O God, we entrust to you all the sick and their families. May you bring healing to their body, mind and spirit, enabling them to partake of the Paschal Mystery of your Son. Help all members of our society to play their proper roles, and strengthen the spirit of solidarity among them. Sustain our frontline medical and healthcare workers, social workers and educators. Come especially to the aid of those in need of resources to safeguard their health.
We believe that it is you who direct the course of human history, and that your Love can change our destiny for the better, whatever might be our human condition. Grant a steadfast faith to all Christians, that even in the midst of fears and chaos, they may carry out the mission you have entrusted to them.
O God, bless our human family abundantly, and dispel from us all evil. Deliver us from the epidemic that is afflicting us, so that we may praise and thank you with renewed hearts. For you are the Author of Life, and with your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in unity of the Holy Spirit, you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Through the innovative co-teaching design of the BASIS Curriculum primary classroom—the Learning Expert Teacher/Subject Expert Teacher (LET/SET) model—two teachers work together to serve students' different needs in each class throughout the school day.
Improving upon the traditional co-teaching model of lead teacher and assistant teacher, the expert knowledge of each individual BASIS Curriculum Schools teacher serves a unique purpose. Both teachers are experienced professionals who possess deep understanding of their respective fields.
Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) are experienced in pedagogy — the methods and best practices of teaching—especially in regards to early-childhood education. LETs are responsible for two crucial elements of the BASIS Curriculum: performing interventions and providing differentiation. Interventions cover much more than just behavioral issues; LETs track and support students who are performing below grade level in any subject. They also provide differentiation within the classroom, working with individual students or groups of students to help them catch up or to enrich their learning experience.
Subject Expert Teachers (SETs) usually hold advanced degrees in their respective field and know what content their students need to master in order to succeed at a higher level. The SETs' expertise also allows them to break down complex subject matter in a way that helps students understand it better.
LETs are assigned to one specific group of students for the entire school year. Throughout the day, they lead these students to different subject-specific classes taught by the SETs. In addition, LETs teach a Connections course, which weaves together various lessons and subject matter from other classes. In Connections, students explore how different concepts are connected in the real world. When working together in the classroom, LETs and SETs create an invaluable synergy that inspires a passion for learning and challenges intellectual boundaries.
Take a look at what these co-teaching duos say about the LET/SET model:
Julie Molton-Roper (humanities SET) and Amanda Grunden (grade 2 LET) are thankful to have one another to rely on, because it allows them to focus on what they do best. "I love having an LET in the classroom," says Molton-Roper. "Because of Ms. Grunden, I can focus on teaching just one subject and pay extra-careful attention to my lesson plans." Ms. Molton-Roper can focus on providing her students with quality instruction without worrying about any behavioral issues arising and derailing the whole class.
As an LET, Ms. Grunden enjoys customizing the instruction to best meet the needs of individual students."The LET knows the students really well, and can help guide and speed up their progress," says Grunden. "We get to see the students in each one of their classes, so we know how to help out." This wouldn't be the case if she was working on lesson plans instead. Thanks to the SET, Ms. Grunden has ample time to pull individual students or small groups of students aside for customized instruction. She can identify when a student is struggling, get to the bottom of the problem, and design a plan to get back on track.
For Agustin Temporini (math/science SET) and Jason Grunden (grade 1 LET), the comradery and teamwork that develops while instructing very energetic first graders is a main highlight of working together. "Working together definitely helps with the sanity factor," jokes Grunden. "Having two teachers, each focusing on separate elements of classroom instruction, definitely helps keep the students calmer, and as a result, everyone has more fun in class."
The LET/SET model also offers many practical, academic advantages. Mr. Temporini finds that the LET's role in the class not only gives him time to plan lessons, but also to instruct and review. "Without Mr. Grunden, I could spend a quarter of the class period just checking for parent signatures in Communication Journals," he explains. By leaving the administrative tasks to Mr. Grunden, Mr. Temporini now has time to help the class master complex subject matter. And while Mr. Temporini leads the class in daily lessons, Mr. Grunden can observe the bigger picture and watch for any potential issues that may arise and disrupt the lesson.
"In other words, I'm the team manager. I know my kids, what's going on, and what to do about it," says Grunden. In addition, if Grunden notices a student is struggling, either academically or behaviorally, he can pull himself away for a moment to speak with the parents and discuss possible solutions.
Beth Blackstone (humanities SET) and Melissa Vazquez (grade 3 LET) are confident in the system. As someone who previously taught outside of the BASIS Curriculum Schools network, Ms. Blackstone (SET) realizes the value of the LET/SET model, especially when it comes to communicating with parents. "It's nice for me to be able to focus on the planning and delivery aspects, while the LET takes care of parent communication," says Blackstone.
Ms. Vazquez (LET) knows the classroom runs most efficiently when parents contact her first with questions or concerns. That way, the SET has more time for instruction and doesn't fall behind on lesson planning.
In a fast-paced academic setting, like the one at BASIS Curriculum Schools, Ms. Vazquez understands that parental involvement is necessary if students are going to get sufficient practice time in at home. She tries to make herself available to parents as much as possible, and gives them frequent updates on their child's progress. "I have parent meetings all the time. I meet with some parents weekly, and even talk to a few every day," says Vazquez. "It all depends on the student's individual needs and their academic standing."
Blackstone and Vazquez agree that working together enables them to have a positive impact on the lives of their students in a way that would not be possible if they were teaching solo. "I don't think one person can do it all alone. You can't be emotionally there for one kid, and be there academically for 32 more," says Blackstone.
Thus, the LET/SET model enables them to teach content ahead of grade level, and ensures that each student is able to master it before moving on.

Em Borjon is one of 15 artists participating in 'Pixel Palette: The Art of Digital Painting,' which opened March 3rd and runs through April 2nd. 'Pixel Palette' aims to highlight the variety that can be achieved through the digital medium– the works are connected in many ways but each artist creates something wholly unique and in a distinct style. Em's illustrations stood out to us for their ethereal quality and mastery of layering, as well as an eery muted palette across all her works. Here, Em gives us some insight into their creative world:
1.Did you aspire to be an artist, or did you fall in love with making art?
I used to "draw" (scribble) all over my parents' bedroom and, while I have no recollection of it, witness accounts state that I at one point started jumping on their bed to reach the ceiling. Art is something that I've always been interested in. As a little girl I decided matter-of-factly that I would be an artist. Or a teacher. I settled on art teacher. I was half right.
2. What would you tell your younger self when you were first embarking on your artistic career?
It's not been long since I've embarked on this winding path but I like to remind myself that inaction brings naught. Practice– you won't improve unless you do. Try– you'll never know unless you do. I've heard over and over that failure is inevitable and there'll be lots of "No"s for every "Yes" so if you don't put in the effort you'll find yourself moving ahead very slowly, it at all. If you don't try, you'll never know. That's what I tell myself.
3.Who are some of your current influences or inspirations? Have they changed over time?
James Jean, Rovina Cai, Dagna Majewska, Nomi Chi, Wylie Beckert, Miranda Meeks, and Etam Cru are artists I would be happy to be half as good as. I wouldn't say they've had a direct influence on my work but seeing them certainly inspires me to be great.
4.What do you look for in the art of others? What would you hope people look for in your work?
I love fantastical worlds and I love alien feelings. I like art that's intense and I like lines that are severe. I like strong emotions. I like them to be a little unsettling. I love art that's a little ghostly. I like ghost stories. I like art that transports me to worlds beyond my imagination and realms of varying consciousness. I would hope that my work evokes some sense of calm and dreaminess. Maybe even a feeling of protection and home. I want it to feel familiar and surreal.
Thank you to Em for participating in our interview. You can see their work in Pixel Palette, on view tonight for First Friday from 6-10pm, and through April 2nd. View more of Em's work at www.emborjon.com.

As SFoodie's "Going Legit" series last summer chronicled, starting a food business in this city is almost ludicrously difficult. Even if you go on the cheap, navigating city and state regulations and finding a commercial kitchen can be expensive, time-consuming, and bewildering. And with dying down of the street-cart movement and the closure of the SF Underground Market, there are few outlets for not-quite-legal food vendors to sell their wares.
That's why a number of states are passing "cottage food," which allow people to make and sell certain kinds of products out of their home kitchens. The most recent CUESA newsletter has all the details on AB 1616, a cottage food bill introduced in the California legislature last month by Assemblymember Mike Gatto of LA.
Backed by the Oakland-based Sustainable Economies Law Center, AB 1616 would change the California Health and Safety code to give small-scale producers a way to break in to the business. Like most cottage laws, AB 1616 wouldn't cover foods like jerky, hot cooked dishes, cheeses, or custards. But jams, pickles, breads, fruit pies, spice blends, and herb teas -- basically, low-risk foods not covered by other federal regulations -- would be exempted. The health department won't inspect the business or get involved with the producer unless a complaint is lodged.
AB 1616 is a little fuzzy on what kinds of registration fees would be imposed on new businesses, what kinds of food-safety training they'll be required to take, and limits on how big their production can grow before the producer needs to get fully permitted. But it could make it a hell of a lot easier for aspiring artisans to get started.
SFoodie will be covering the bill as it moves through the state legislature. If you're interested in learning more right now, the SELC's Cottage Food Campaign site has details about cottage food around the country, and 18 Reasons will be hosting a Kitchen Table Talk on cottage food on March 27. And, of course, there's an opportunity for one-click activism at Change.org.

Patients become known by their illness or disease, and you may soon find yourself doing tests and asking for consultations on routine rather than for clinical indication. It is easy to be too heavily focussed on the "tree" and miss the "forest". Many hospitals have set protocols and they are generally a good idea as it means that a clear clinical pathway is followed. However, a protocol is not a substitute for thinking and clinical decision making; context is important.
At these times, you have to step back and remember that your patient is not a collection of symptoms, signs and syndromes but is a real person. You should always try to consider and reflect on what is the goal of management at least each time you see them on a ward round. With the wisdom of hindsight, it is not uncommon to see patients, particularly the elderly, admitted for vague reasons under a busy general medical team and then investigated extensively with no definitive results. During their time in hospital, they may develop any number of iatrogenic disorders (e.g., intravenous line site infection or hospital acquired pneumonia) which will require further treatment. Only several weeks later, after a brief trip to the rehabilitation ward are they able to return home.
Most of the time, your investigations and management are keyed towards diagnosis and treatment. Sometimes, however, it doesn't matter what the diagnosis is as long as people improve and are happy. And sometimes, the only treatment that is required is time and some supportive care. Remember that health care is voluntary and it is the patient's choice.
"Primum non nocere"
First do no harm. Don't let your zeal for "doing your all" for your patients actually harm them in the end.

User interface design (UI) or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for machines and software such as computers home appliances mobile devices and other electronic devices with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience. The goal of user interface design is to make the user's interaction as simple and efficient as possible in terms of accomplishing user goals.
Good user interface design facilitates finishing the task at hand without drawing unnecessary attention to itself. Graphic design and typography are utilized to support its usability influencing how the user performs certain interactions and improving the aesthetic appeal of the design design aesthetics may enhance or detract from the ability of users to use the functions of the interface. The design process must balance technical functionality elements to create a system that is not only operational but also usable and adaptable to changing user needs.
Interface design and visual is involved in a wide range of projects from computer systems to cars to commercial planes all of these projects involve much of the same basic human interactions yet also require some unique skills and knowledge.
As a result designers tend to specialize in certain types of projects and have skills centered on their expertise whether that be software design user research web design or industrial design.
User understanding of the content of a website often depends on user understanding of how the website works. This is part of the user experience design. User experience is related to layout, clear instructions and labeling on a website. How well a user understands how they can interact on a site may also depend on the interactive design of the site. If a user perceives the usefulness of the website, they are more likely to continue using it. Users who are skilled and well versed with website use may find a more distinctive, yet less intuitive or less user-friendly website interface useful nonetheless. However, users with less experience are less likely to see the advantages or usefulness of a less intuitive website interface. This drives the trend for a more universal user experience and ease of access to accommodate as many users as possible regardless of user skill. Much of the user experience design and interactive design are considered in the user interface design.
Advanced interactive functions may require plug-ins if not advanced coding language skills. Choosing whether or not to use interactivity that requires plug-ins is a cSoftigical decision in user experience design. If the plug-in doesn't come pre-installed with most browsers, there's a risk that the user will have neither the know how or the patience to install a plug-in just to access the content. If the function requires advanced coding language skills, it may be too costly in either time or money to code compared to the amount of enhancement the function will add to the user experience. There's also a risk that advanced interactivity may be incompatible with older browsers or hardware configurations. Publishing a function that doesn't work reliably is potentially worse for the user experience than making no attempt. It depends on the target audience if it's likely to be needed or worth any risks.

The Youth Bar would be a great way to give teens a place to hang out and stay out of trouble, especially in situations where parents may not be able to be home 24/7 or when they don't have other healthy social outlets. I do agree that funding sounds like obstacle, but perhaps something like crowdfunding websites could really help with that part as well.Great idea, and I can't wait to see how it turns out! link Anthony commented on Young & Anonymous™ 23:05, Jun 17, 2018 This is one of my favorite submissions that I've seen.

1.1 This standard covers the determination of the resistance to stable crack extension in metallic materials in terms of the critical crack-tip-opening angle (CTOA), ψc and/or the crack-opening displacement (COD), δ5 resistance curve (1).2 This method applies specifically to fatigue pre-cracked specimens that exhibit low constraint (crack-size-to-thickness and un-cracked ligament-to-thickness ratios greater than or equal to 4) and that are tested under slowly increasing remote applied displacement. The test specimens are the compact, C(T), and middle-crack-tension, M(T), specimens. The fracture resistance determined in accordance with this standard is measured as ψc (critical CTOA value) and/or δ 5 (critical COD resistance curve) as a function of crack extension. Both fracture resistance parameters are characterized using either a single-specimen or multiple-specimen procedures. These fracture quantities are determined under the opening mode (Mode I) of loading. Influences of environment and rapid loading rates are not covered in this standard, but the user must be aware of the effects that the loading rate and laboratory environment may have on the fracture behavior of the material.
1.2 Materials that are evaluated by this standard are not limited by strength, thickness, or toughness, if the crack-size-to-thickness (a/B) ratio and the ligament-to-thickness (b/B) ratio are greater than or equal to 4, which ensures relatively low and similar global crack-front constraint for both the C(T) and M(T) specimens (2, 3).
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

text: Once I walked, from dawn to dusk, to a school located in remote hill region of Chitwan, and back home in town. As I walked briskly in the morning with energy and vigor, it took me little less than 5 hours to get to the school. But upon returning, I spent more than 6 hours walking under the sun that took a full toll on my body. I could feel the pain under my feet. That pain gradually moved upward in ultra slow motion from feet to ankle, to leg, and to the knees. I could clearly feel the pain ascending up as if I was a witness to what is happening to my body. I realized that sense of pain is one thing because it is certainly painful, whilst witnessing the pain is completely a different thing, an awakening experience. The witnessing the pain made fun of my misery. I was saying to myself, "See, what pain is? You could have stayed in the village and come back tomorrow. Now you well deserve this suffering." Well, I was determined on my mission and I knew exactly what I needed to do, for my mind is active and aware of the situation.

ENTIRE communities in the flood impacted north west are feeling the economic pinch following the unprecedented disaster.
The towns of Richmond and Hughenden are fighting back following the financial hit, which has impacted small businesses and primary producers alike.
Mayors in the impacted shires say they are disappointed with the lack of help made available for small businesses and expressed their desire to see grant money extended.
Richmond Shire Council Mayor John Wharton said while the town itself did not flood, businesses experienced hardship when the highway was cut.
However, he said the town was recovering quite well, largely due to the influx of workers helping to repair flood damaged assets.
Tent cities were established in Julia Creek and Richmond to house 180 Queensland Rail workers and contractors after accommodation was booked out.
"We are still concerned that there is no assistance for small businesses, that did suffer, particularly the shops like the butcher, the hardware, all of those that rely on cashflow," Cr Wharton.
"The transport and trucking companies and helicopter businesses are going to suffer for a fair while.
"But you can't rent a house in Richmond, the town is full, there are plenty of jobs available and council are screaming out for staff with assets and infrastructure washed away that will probably take two years to repair.
"The businesses are getting a good boost now, it was just the period of time of no cash flow at all, but it's now very active."
Cr Wharton said the flood highlighted the need for small regional towns to diversify their industries.
"You can't just rely on the cattle industry, you need diversity, which we had with a lot of construction before the flood. The tourists are starting to turn up and we haven't had our events yet."
Flinders Shire Council Mayor Jane McNamara said Hughenden had missed out on the influx of workers that Julia Creek and Richmond had experienced with the railway restoration.
She said the downturn continued as residents spent their money on only the necessities.

Known as summer's Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day has altered discount strategies worldwide. We use EDITED's retail data platform to uncover how apparel retailers are squaring up against the e-comm giant and what to expect for the upcoming event.
Last year, Amazon Prime Day was touted as the 'biggest shopping event ever' with 100 million products sold. While electronics came out as the top-selling category, customers purchased more than 5 million items in both apparel and beauty. This year, the event is poised to be even bigger with sales for Prime customers held over two days – mark the 15th and 16th of July in your diaries if you haven't already!
So, what do retailers need to know to win Prime Days? Read on as we reveal the data behind the product that's flying off the shelves.
Interested in knowing how EDITED can help uncover your competitors discounting strategies over Prime Days? Get started here.
So, what can historical data teach us?
EDITED data confirms US retailers are going head-to-head with Prime Day. More products are selling out as retailers are deepening discounts. In fact. the average discount on Prime Day 2018 was 42.5%, a slight increase from 2017 at 39%. As the presence of Prime Day grows, we can expect to see this trend grow as retailers continue to slash prices to compete with Amazon.
While the number of products discounted for the first time in the six weeks leading up to Prime (including the actual event) saw a slight decline (4.4% YoY), the number of product sellouts have increased by 52%.
Retailers are focused on discount depth over breadth of products to move through older stock to compete with Prime Day
Drilling down to a category level shows tops made up 37.8% of the product first discounted on Prime Day followed by dresses, accessories, and bottoms each making up 14% of the mix. This correlated with the product experiencing sell out during this time. Tops equated to 31.4% of sellouts followed by accessories at 14%, bottoms at 11% and dresses at 10%.
Got EDITED access? See what really went down on Prime Day 2019. We reveal what discounts were taken and the categories that were reduced the most.
Retailers to watch
It's not just Amazon that retailers will need to keep eyes on. Target is proving to be a force to be reckoned with over this period, announcing its own promotion days open to all customers. The offer during "Deal Days" includes 30-40% off items including furniture, appliances, toys and sporting goods. Last year, Target's sales over Prime Day became one of its biggest online shopping days, promoting an 'up to 40% off clothing' message on its homepage among other deals. EDITED data confirms the retailer discounted 20% of its assortment over Prime, with 30% as the average markdown percentage. Jump to present day, one week out from Prime Day, 24% of Target's apparel assortment is currently reduced at an average advertised discount of 28%.
Moreover, Walmart has also announced its plans to beat Amazon at its own game. Its upcoming 'Summer Savings' will run from the 14th – 17th of July. The event is open to all customers with free shipping on orders over $35. Walmart's current state of play a week out is 33% of products discounted with the average reduction at 35%.
Outside of these players, the retailers discounting the most product last Prime Day were Macy's, Zappos, Nordstrom, and Zara.
UK retailers: We've got exciting news for you
EDITED is now tracking Amazon in the UK!
British retailers are increasing their participation in American discounting events. Black Friday sales are now the norm in UK retail calendars. And Prime Day is gaining traction – since 2016, the number of discounts taken for the first time on Prime Day has increased by 83% in the UK.
Use EDITED to compare how your brand is being discounted on Amazon compared to third-party retailers on the lead up to Prime days… and all year round.

100% Aglianico. Medium-high intensity aromatics are complex with spicy, blackberry, dark berry, leather, herbs, earth, and a touch of savoury funk. Some smoky mineral notes develop with air. Full-bodied & concentrated with nicely balanced aroma replays, plus black pepper, fig, and floral nuances supported by fresh, bright acidity to keep things quite light on the palate. Firm, drying, mouth-puckering tannins have a dusty & chalky texture. Excellent Finish length with dark berry, black plum, licorice, & spice flavours. Lovely savoury-earthy character throughout. Better in 5 yrs. Tasted Nov/2018

Josh Oppenheimer: A Country Where the Killers Have Won (Excerpt)
Full interview at http://www.GRITtv.org
Why does extreme violence happen and what do the perpetrators really think of themselves? Director Joshua Oppenheimer asks just that in his new documentary film, The Act of Killing, executive produced by Werner Herzog and Errol Morris. The movie follows Anwar Congo and his fellow Indonesian para-militaries as they recreate their country's 1965-1966 mass murders. The catch — they are the mass-murderers!

Yesterday, we learned that the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index spiked to the highest level in 8 months, and the second highest level in 6 years. The trend for this index has stalled at times, but overall was up since the bottom of the 2008-2009 recession that was exaggerated by a financial crisis. Recessions are mostly about a business problem while depressions are a recession gone awry from a financial crisis. The 2008-2009 was called the Great Recession in that it was more than a recesssion but less than outright depression. Traders discussed this index performance as suggesting consumers were upbeat about the prospects of taking care of their families.
In general for last week and this week, macro economy news was more positive than negative. But news out of China continues to suggest a slower pace of economic growth, and then there is the issue of grain cancellations, which has turned into a "nasty" bit of business. This week the Ukraine/Russia conflict returned to headlines. And the stock market assumed more positive input than otherwise with a rally from last week into this week, but our in house business cycle model does offer a setback by next week. Could a continued rise of Ukraine/Russia tension be a driver of this forecast.
Commodities rallied for the first quarter of 2014 and there was brief surge in demand for cargo ships to move purchased commodities. (Baltic Dry Freight index spiked in February alongside higher commodities prices but has since declined.) Traders are now discussing whether it is time for a correction of the price of commodities in general or can the up trend extend into summer. (An inhouse business cycle model offers a set back for several commodities in May.)
Cool weather has delayed Corn Belt planting and this in turn propped up corn futures prices. Traders continue to debate as to whether it is late or if there will be an abrupt opening for a surge in plantings. A glance at a planting pace chart since the 1980s does not suggest anything unusual at this time. But looking out the window at the corn field one might entertain otherwise. Planting pace should pop to 9% to 11% but there is a lack of confidence.
Traders are discussing daily and weekly lows as potential support for agriculture markets. What will it mean for the month of May if important support levels are violated. Just a setback before a summer rally or a lengthy downtrend.

Ancestor Cards: #1 Devotion
Three years ago, right after Memorial Day, I started this blog. And the way I started was with an announcement that I had booked a trip to New Zealand and then a streak of a 38 days where I posted a photo each day and wrote about it. It was a fun way to get into blogging practice and also have some time for observation and self-reflection. I've decided to give that streak another go.
And for this streak, I'm going to use a black velvet bag of ancestor cards that I picked up along the way in my spiritual travels. There are probably a number of different versions of these cards (like tarot cards, angel cards, etc), but these are simple. A bunch of cards each a word, a message from my ancestors. I will pick a card each day and reflect on its meaning for me at that moment.
Today's card is DEVOTION.
Not an easy one to start with. Devotion = "feeling of strong love or loyalty." Also "the use of time, money, energy, etc. for a particular purpose." We are devoted to our loved ones – family members, partners, pets. We are devoted to our jobs. We are devoted to our causes – social justice, racial equality, peace, freedom for all.
My life has involved devotion on all these levels. Devotion in an outward direction. When young, I was devoted to my studies – always striving to be the top of the class, always looking to learn more and expand my knowledge.
I've always been devoted to my work, first as a teacher, then as a community educator and organizer. My life was my work and vice versa. I was devoted to the youth I worked with, the community that I was part of, the people that were in my life, dedicated to the same cause of empowerment of our people. This has changed since moving to the Bay Area. My work isn't the center of my life anymore. I'm not devoted to my job in the same way I was in Boston. In some ways I miss that deep connection to my work. But in other ways, it's been nice to have a break. My devotion has had time and space to be redirected elsewhere.
My devotion to my family has always run deep. Love, protection, esteem, respect, care for all these individuals who are tied to me by blood. As I get older, I realize how deep these ties are, and how important they are to me. And I love seeing the growth of the next generation, the little ones carrying on the family name, history, and collective memory, imprinted on their subconscious, to emerge in unexpected ways. I also am blessed that my life has brought an expanded family; new loved ones have entered my life and pushed me to accept and love those not tied by blood but by marriage.
I have learned to be devoted to myself – not an easy direction, inward. And not just devotion to self-improvement and growth but also devotion to cultivating my own happiness and contentment. Going inward to find wells of inner strength and peace. Going inward to find self-love and self-acceptance. As I get older, I find this is possible. Where I used to seek all this outside myself, often disappointed by what I found. I have been learning to find what I need inside which has allowed me to more fully appreciate and love what is outside.
Devotion has a sacred energy. Something of the unconditional, of wholeness, of complete dedication. How do we grow in our practice of being devoted to ourselves and others?

The pastor and chief historian of the oldest United Methodist church in America will soon become the denomination's chief historian. The Rev. Alfred T. Day III, pastor of 244-year old St. George's United Methodist Church in the heart of old Philadelphia, Pa., was elected to head the General Commission on Archives and History. He will take over as General Secretary on or about July 1.
Elected unanimously by the commission's board after a national search, Day will succeed the Rev. Robert J. Williams, who will retire after almost nine years in the position. Bishop Jeremiah Park, leader of the Harrisburg, Pa., Area and president of the commission made the announcement yesterday.
A full Elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference since 1975, Day has led St. George's, a Methodist Heritage Landmark, for nine years. He previously served as pastor of First UMC Germantown and Superintendent of the former Francis Asbury District, following pastorates at Mt. Pocono UMC, Rehoboth and Central UMCs in the Frankford Group Ministry, and Roxborough and Emmanuel UMCs. He has been a delegate to General and Jurisdictional conferences.
While at St. George's Day joined the Rev. Mark Tyler, pastor of Philadelphia's Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, in organizing two "Great Gatherings" that have brought the two congregations together in reconciliation for the mistreatment and well-known departure of the Rev. Richard Allen and other African Americans due to racial discrimination in 1792. Allen went on to establish Mother Bethel and become the first bishop of the AME denomination.
Day, an enthusiastic teacher and promoter of Methodist history, welcomes youth confirmation classes and other visitors to St. George's regularly for historical programs and tours that feature its trove of archival treasures. Commission members and colleagues have commented: "Fred brings the energy and vision needed to make heritage relevant to the contemporary life of the church. His work at St. George's has been creative and innovative, both cherishing our roots and finding new energy in our denominational DNA."
Expressing "joy" for his new challenge, Day quoted current General Secretary Robert Williams' description of the commission's work as "the ministry of memory."
"Building on his work, and that of our conference's Chuck Yrigoyen before him, I hope to steward United Methodist memory as deep, invigorating, advising, thriving roots, past and present intertwined, shaping our Church's future…. I am honored and blessed to be in a position to promote and care for our denominational DNA for the next leg of this journey.
"In so many of the resurrection stories we hear this time of year," Day explained, "Jesus tells disciples he is out ahead of them. 'You will find me there,' he says. One of history's traps is a backward focus: collecting old stuff without taking in present surroundings, not to mention what's coming down the road. The work of history is joining past and present to set the course for what lies ahead."

by Lama Surya Das (http://twitter.com/lamasuryadas)
He who stands on tiptoe doesn't stand firm. He who rushes ahead doesn't go far. He who tries to shine dims his own light.... If you want to accord with the Tao, just do your job, then let go. ~Lao Tsu, "Tao Te Ching", chapter 24
The TAO OF TWITTER is—like a standup comedian's good one liner, haiku poetry, and the old fashioned singing telegram—rich with the magical power and incandescent immediacy of nowness, which is part and parcel of the power of Tao. People are genuinely feeling this invisible yet palpable pulse, its heartbeat the ambient chatter of hyper-connected mini-commentators and 24/7 viewers surrounding us all on a level playing field. This river of participatory being-in-touchness helps an increasing number to experience being part of ongoing public dialogues they've long been struggling to access in a traditionally stratified and hierarchical media environment reflective of society-at-large. Side by side rather than top down, social networking opportunities amplify and strength the possibility of virtual community and mass action today; whether for good or ill time will tell.
Though lacking the juicy face-to-face energy of more intimate interpersonal relations, this Paower—the evident, undeniable Tao-power surging in the very heart of the zeitgeist, like some sort of mystical relational growth hormone—is found flowing right though usi ndividually and collectively, coursing through our fingertips at this very moment. Moreover, it's totally here and now, on the sociopolitical, educational and spiritual dimensions, visible and invisible, outer and inner. Seize this moment, and connect with the timeless. It's now or never. Here is timeless beauty. The very spirit in the machine.
Thousands of people are tweeting prayers to a website in the Old City of Jerusalem (http://twitter.com/theKotel) to be printed out and placed between the two thousand year old stones of the Western Wall, which is the last vestige of King Solomon's temple. The Tao teachings point out that you don't any longer have to try to get into the flow, Joe; it's right through you every moment. Like the timeless Tao—the fundamental energy or spirit of the universe, well expressed in the wisest book ever written, Lao Tsu's Chinese classic, over two millennia in age yet totally timeless—the Tao of Twitter is closer to you than you yourself are most of the time. Though you may feel far from it yourself, it is never far from you. It is the amount and quality of attention you bring to bear here and now that counts. This is wisdom's timeless, evergreen secret. Help yourself.
Without opening your door, you can open your heart to the world. Without looking out your window, You can see the essence of the Tao. ~Tao Te Ching", chapter 47
In Korea, text messages sent to millions of cell phones significantly influenced a national election; Switzerland too is experimenting with direct communication to the Thumb Generation. The felt thrust and torque of tuning in to this subtle, invisible yet powerful magic is driving the new media, especially since the recently burgeoning phenomena of social networking. The mutual reciprocity of this instantaneous connection is showing up as dynamic power, from social networking's power in influencing significant political events in Iran to everyman becoming a writer, communication and commentator far beyond the major media outlets—as has been much commented upon lately. There is no headier brew than finding oneself part and parcel of the greater participatory mandala of people exercised within by nowness.
The young people and their tribal communities are thriving in this new, level playing field of media and communications. The prana (vital force of life energy) may be very thin in cyberspace, as John Perry Barlow famously opined, but ubiquity of spirit can more than counterbalance that qualitative limitation. Science and spirit are nowise at odds with each other; one rightly considers heaven, what it is and how to get there, while the other deals mainly with solving more practical engineering problems here on earth. Utility, speed and opportunity rule this new e-world in our digital over-information age. Not unlike in our own celebrity culture, sizzle and buzz often outperforms substance—at the moment at least.
I believe that technology is pure spirit. It is not just a tool but can be a transformative force. Some experts, such as Ray Kurzweil and Ken Wilber, say that The SingularitY (when computers evolve to reach the level of the human mind and its evolving consciousness) is all but imminent, and that technology will be integrated into all facets of the world, including consciousness. Kurzweil, a noted technology thinker, has extolled the coming of ultrasmart machines, saying they will offer huge advances in life extension and wealth creation. "Something new has taken place in the past five to eight years," Eric Horvitz of Microsoft has said. "Technologists are replacing religion, and their ideas are resonating in some ways with the same idea of the Rapture." The neuroscience-minded monk and meditation master Dalai Lama of Tibet has suggested that, given the proper conditions, a person could be reborn as a computer. ("Consciousness could take rebirth with the support of the five elements <—earth, water, fire, air and space—>in the form of a computer; why not?") This raises the evergreen question of human identity. I feel it's worth looking at the emergence of this new social networking industry along with the entire realm of instant communications and explore together its potential and possibilities in terms of authentic interbeing and synergy, so we can co-create a more deeply interconnected community, society and world. Education is the silver bullet to alleviate many of our societal ills, and modern media communications exhibit all the various characteristics of both the best and the worst of traditional delivery systems. Like thought, tools are good servants but poor masters. The Singularity that forward thinkers apprehend may very well put such dichotomies to the test.
American democracy is at risk because of our withdrawal from public life coupled with the coarsening of collective consciousness. Like fanaticism, apathy comes at great cost. No one can do it all, alone, but no one is exempt from participating. In this instant-communications age, spiritual seekers have greater mobility and can more easily link personal beliefs and practices to broader political, social engagement and intelligent, nonviolent activism to make a difference in today's volatile world. Today we have the enhanced ability to mobilize swiftly as a group through new technology. New technology and media communications are easily applicable to my own mission of transforming the atmosphere of spirituality in this country by providing a reliable refuge and spiritual solace to seekers, and furthering a truly "higher education" based upon universal metawisdom-for-life training. Like Gutenburg's printing press, industry's original killer app—whose first and most popular and lasting product was nothing less than The Bible—these new developments are presently being applied to content distribution. Some people (as in, businesses) try to avoid a trend and hold out with their old way of doing things (imagine a newspaper that doesn't post any content on a website or a radio station that doesn't have their stream online, which there are some). It is imperative to adapt the way you do things in order to stay in "the now" of the competitive environment, speaking practically.
There are interesting philosopher-teachers who are learning to leverage the new media, such as Ken Wilbe and Eckert Tolle, pushing the envelope, seeking better ways to transmit their redaction of the perennial philosophy's edifying universal message. It's important to understand, however, that just as newer and faster may not necessarily be better, the power of now is not necessarily an unmitigated good. Distance learning tools including streaming media are just one more modern wave of the stream of consciousness constantly reaching, straining forward and evolving like plants stretching for the sun. When we truly awaken from the sleep of ignorance and delusion, the dream of the separate self and its vestigial tail-like victim story, we realize that we have been knocking on the door from inside all along and need go nowhere special, lack for nothing! It is all within. One click of your red shoes—or mouse, as it were—and you can get where you're going on this worldwide web facet of Indra's all-embracing Net.
On the downside, I instinctively fear—perhaps incorrectly, afflicted as I am by anachronistic habits and conditioning, not to mention the unfair onslaught of grey hairs obscuring my vision—that the speed, relentless tsunami-like pace of new media's technological developments and rising popularity of social networking is not only daunting but conducive to mindlessness as well as other unintended counterproductive side effects. For example, the fractured concentration and ADD-enhancing nature of instant communications coexistent with epidemic multitasking—including the CNN crawl diverting our attention from the main screen, the remote control bar and the split screen, the hundreds of channels to surf constantly though in an orgy of shopping mania; all this conspires to further entrain an already attenuated attention span for most of us while we incessantly seek instant gratification without ever quite finding it. Somehow, the "medium is the message" aspect of such must be overcome and balanced—or at least skillfully modulated—to help us be enlivened through the Tao of Twitter and embody the centeredness spiritual aspirants seek to experience as a serene refuge amidst the welter, burgeoning diversity and mindless cacophony of modern experience. Who today knows the bliss and simplicity of just doing what you're doing, wholeheartedly, one hundred per cent and one single moment at a time?
Act without doing; work without effort. Think of the small as large and the few as many. Confront the difficult while it is still easy; accomplish the great task by a series of small acts. ~Tao Te Ching, chapter 63
IM, text, Blackberry; tweet to your heart's content. This is the Tao of Twitter, the Zen of Now. Many are called, But few awaken. The Secret is being fully present. And aware. Nothing new under the sun.
Got Twitter?

Hi, I've just finish reading your fanfic. it's quite good. I'll be looking forward to your next chapter.
However - I do have to point some things out. first of all - there are many times Wen Zuo & Enjun call Wing Yi by her real name, and not the name that Gai Gong Gong gives her. I thought they're not suppose to know her real name since Wing Yi is a girl's name.
Secondly, in this latest chapter - when Enjun met Wing Yi, dressed up as a girl, there is no mention about him wondering who she is - or surprised that she turns out to be the beautiful girl he bumped into in the market.
that is all from me. keep up the good work - and I'll be waiting for your update.

Cylinder lenses and mirrors
The Berliner Glas Group has extended its manufacturing expertise. The company now offers cylinder lenses and mirrors in lengths up to 2,000 mm with the highest surface qualities. The complete optical manufacturing chain has once again been improved for this purpose.
Additional large polishing machines have been added to the cylinder optics production of Berliner Glas. These machines have been specially developed in cooperation with the supplier for the specific requirements. Furthermore, a new corrective procedure has been implemented and metrological capturing has been optimized at the same time. The whole production process is completed with the greatest care and in consideration of the highest requirements on cleanliness.
The innovative cylinder lenses and mirrors are used to expand and homogenize laser beams, for example in laser annealing and laser lift-off processes to produce AMOLED displays for smartphones, tablets and TVs.
But the Berliner Glas Group's portfolio does not just cover the development and production of these key components. The services are rounded off by coating the optics as well as the assembly in frames for low-stress mounting of the optics.

Read on to learn about the most important issues they are working on solving.
Riley R.
Standley Lake High School
The MOST important issue high school students can solve is this notion that teenagers don't know anything. To me, this is the biggest barrier that prevents our voices from being heard on every level of hierarchy in society.
Marlen M.
Vice President
DSST: Green Valley Ranch
The most important issues teens can solve today are the inequality in STEM and breaking down stereotypes of low-income neighborhoods.
Morgan D.
Outreach Chair
Wheat Ridge High School
I believe that any issue can be solved by teens today as long as we put work into it.
Ava M.
Outreach Chair
Denver East High School
We have the power to work towards solving many issues such as education, sustainability, and homelessness- a few of the problems we can find within our own community. We need to address the problem of not being taken seriously when expressing our opinions.
Eden M.
STEM – Highlands Ranch
High schoolers today can solve the issue of talk without action, meaning we can be the ones who don't just talk about issues but try to go forth and be activists. We can be the ones to shed light on the issue and inspire others to get involved with working towards change.
Madelyn C.
William J. Palmer High School
High school students have the ability to speak out against what we see wrong and come up with reasonable and effective solutions. We can solve, or better the circumstances of, local homelessness, poverty in our own cities, waste cleanup, and so much more; it just takes awareness.
Paige C.
William J. Palmer High School
We can solve anything if we put our minds to it and work together. We can really make a difference in vouching for adjustments to the education system, making schools a safe place for students and spreading awareness about sustainability and climate change.
Gaby A.
DSST: Green Valley Ranch
Some of the most important issues right now that high school students can help solve are global warming, climate change, mental health awareness, and security in schools.
Jared G.
Arapahoe High School
Mental health is at the forefront of problems in high school. Teenagers are also needing to find a sense of community and togetherness.
Allen A.
Wheat Ridge High School
High schoolers can definitely begin tackling mental health issues
Finley S.
Denver East High School
We can solve any problem that we are passionate about, and are willing to put the work in for.
Hailey H.
Denver South High School
Some of the most important issues high school students can solve today are school safety and mental health.
Peyton R.
Cherry Creek High School
High school students can impact and start to break down issues with mental health, specifically relating to the destigmatization, awareness, and spreading of resources. Not only do high school students have a high level of exposure to these issues as a result of their presence in schools, but they can also provide better perspective and understanding in order to implement truly effective measures against the issue.
Lillian D.
STEM – Highlands Ranch
There's no real limit to what issues high school students can solve today because everyone is passionate about different things. Change is possible where there is passion, in anything from climate change to mental health to accessibility in sports.
Clarice P.
Denver East High School
High school students can help solve the stigma around teen mental health and suicide. High school students have the power to allow others to gain awareness about this important issue. If teens can utilize their voices, I strongly believe many issues can be solved.

There's great news for those of you who love to take care of holiday shopping online as much as I do:
Hundreds of major retailers are planning to offer free shipping for the holidays, hoping to entice more consumers to buy online.
Details vary from retailer to retailer, but many (771 at last count) will be participating in Free Shipping Day on December 16, allowing you to save big bucks on shipping and get guaranteed arrival by Christmas Eve.
Click through to read about some of the biggest retailers participating in the event.
Free Shipping Day is scheduled this year for December 16. Some of the retailers who've already signed on to participate are:
- Lands' End
- JC Penney
- Macy's
- Kohl's
- Barnes & Noble
- Sephora
- Radio Shack
- Hanna Andersson
- Melissa & Doug
... and many, MANY more.
I think I may have to do a little shopping for myself on Free Shipping Day, too, how about you?
Hundreds more retailers should be signing on to participate in the next few weeks, if last year's numbers are any indication. In 2010, 1,750 retailers were part of the annual event and shoppers logged in and checked out in droves. Free Shipping Day last year was the third-heaviest day of online shopping EVER.
To see who's signed up so far, check out FreeShippingDay.com. I totally took advantage of this day last year -- it was sooo much easier than braving the malls in December!
Will you shop online on Free Shipping Day?
