About Us
Welcome to Twisted Fitness
What started out, 15 years ago, as a small Martial Arts Academy, has exploded into East Madison's most Unique
Gym and Fitness Collective. Our Facility was designed to be a gym where professionalism and cleanliness aren't sacrificed
in the name of hard work. This gym was built to be a welcoming environment for the seasoned lifter and the new gym visitor
alike. With over 20 years in the Gym and Fitness industry, the owners know what they have liked and disliked over their
years of working and personal training in Madison Gyms. They set out to do it different and hopefully better. While we know
we aren't for everyone, we believe we are for most! Come check us out and see if we can change your idea of what a gym
should be!

P.S. If you're not sure if a consultation is right for you, or if you have any questions at all about what's included or how it works, I'd like to invite you to schedule a FREE 15-minute sleep evaluation. This will give us the chance to chat a little bit about your child's unique situation, and decide together if a full consultation is the right solution for your family.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and helping you solve your child's sleep problems!

Numerical Computation
Here you'll be introduced to the bare basics of mathematics. Topics include commonly used words and phrases, symbols, and how to follow the order of operations.
An introduction to numerical computation. Emphasis is placed on scientific and engineering notation, the rule of significant figures, and converting between SI and Imperial units.
Trigonometry with Right Triangles
Here we focus on right angle triangles within quadrant I of an x-y plane. None of the angles we evaluate here are greater than 90°. A unit on trigonometry with oblique triangles is covered later.
Trigonometry with Oblique Triangles
This unit is a continuation of trigonometry with right triangles except we'll extend our understanding to deal with angles *greater* than 90°. Resolving and combining vectors will be covered at the end of this unit.
Vector Analysis
Introduction to Algebra
Solving Equations
Functions and Graphs
This unit focuses on analyzing and understand the characteristics of various shapes, both 2D and 3D.
- Identify, measure, and calculate different types of straight lines and angles
- Calculate the interior angles of polygons
- Solve problems involving a variety of different types of triangles
- Calculate the area of a variety of different types of quadrilaterals
- Solve problems involving circles
- Calculate the areas and volumes of different solids
Introduction to Statistics
Problem Solving with Vectors
Anything that involves an amount and an associated direction is a potential application of vectors. The direction and speed of a car during a collision is a good example; the direction and distance from your house to your school or office is another. Anything that you can see or imagine has application of vector theory. In this lesson, we will explore several examples from force-related problems to velocity where vectors are applied. All these examples involve vectors in quadrant 1, but the idea can be extended to any vector.
The first of three video introduces two questions involving objects at equilibrium (when the object isn't moving). At equilibrium, the sum of all horizontal forces acting on a body is zero, the sum of all vertical forces acting on a body is zero, and the sum of all moments acting on a body is also zero. Without getting too technical, the moment of a force about some point is the product of the force F and the perpendicular distance from the force to the point's center of gravity. In these examples, Newtons are used to measure weight or force and 1 N is equivalent to 1 kg⋅m per s² SI units.
- Notice how in question 1, weight is given in Newtons rather than, let's say, kilograms or pounds. Remember that there's a difference between weight – which is what they're asking for – and mass. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.
It's recommended that you get as much exposure as possible to vector-related word problems. Part 2 of this lesson can be watched below, and caters exclusively to velocity.
The last video introduces two new words used commonly in physics. The normal or normal component is the vector component that is at 90° to the object, while the tangential component is the vector component that is moving in the same direction as the force.

Now I will tell you what vicara is. Vicara means enquiry. It is an enquiry into the nature of Brahman or atman. Enquiry of, "Who am I?" is also vicara.
What is bondage? What is freedom? What is the relation between the jlva and Brahman? How was this Universe born? Who is the Creator? These constitute vicara.
Vicara leads to Brahma jnana (realisation of the Infinite).
* * * * *
You are imprisoned in this cage of flesh for a long time on account of your identification with the body. Cut this illusion with the sword of knowledge. "I am the all-pervading sat-chit-ananda Brahman" – and be ever blissful.
Give up "I-ness, mine-ness," agency or doership. Become a silent witness. This is wisdom.
Brahman or the absolute is the only reality. Mind and the universe are unreal. Mind alone is the universe. Action of the mind alone is karma.
Renunciation of egoism and desires constitutes real renunciation. This leads to atma-j ana (self-knowledge). Practise Brahma vicara and you will soon attain self-realisation.
* * * * *
Identification with the body is bondage. Identification with the atman or soul is liberation.
"I am body", "This is mine", "He is my son", "She is my wife" – this is bondage.
"I am all-pervading immortal soul", "Nothing belongs to me", "All is Brahman" – this is liberation.
If the mind is attached to objects, this is bondage. If it is unattached, this is liberation.
* * * * *
Where there is no duality, there is immortality. When the three knots are cut one attains immortality. If your object in life is immortality shun sense-objects as poison. When there is nothing to be seen or heard, ir thought of, Where there is immortality.
Immortality is the very nature of atman. The road to immortality is steep and thorny. The help of a realised sage is necessary, at every step.

While sorting out the thousands of photos I have taken in my laptop,I came across this.
This photograph was taken nearing 3 years ago now during,M1/04 orientation. This picture tells a thousand words. As you guys can see,while Grace was happily posing there for my camera,unknown to her,Dan was approaching her with a sinister intention and a right hand full of "ammos." The aftermath?I shall let you guys to your imagination.Hehe……Maybe I should have warned her then
rather than buy time for Dan.Muahahaha……….
Anyway,my camera was not able to cycle fast enough for the aftermath but I am pretty sure you guys know what happen next.
Happy Birthday,Grace.Best wishes.

Chapter 13A: What Comes Before All Else, and What Comes Last?2
November 28, 2015 by Lyn Thorne-Alder
They stared at the treaty, at the blank signature line that made this entire thing so much stranger. "But…" Taikie wrinkled her brow. "Why would they go to all this effort to hide a treaty that wasn't signed? I mean, a little of it here, a little of it –"
"Shhh," Saydrie hissed. Taikie fell silent, looking as if her feelings were hurt. Enrie strained her ears. Ah. A footstep. And another.
Saydrie shelved the book and grabbed another one at random, flopping it open on his lap. The footsteps were coming closer. Enrie glanced down at the book in front of her.
Weaving patterns. Of course. She leaned closer as if studying the patterns, then began actually studying the patterns as something in the design caught her attention. The double-lozenge at the center of the page looked familiar….
The footsteps were nearly on top of them. "Oh! Saydrie. I didn't expect to find you here."
Enrie knew that voice. She looked up, startled. "Gianci?"
She surprised a smile on his face that quickly vanished. "Enerenarie. And then this is your other teammate, right? The one with the goat? Tairiekie?"
"I am never going to live that down," Taikie muttered, although Enrie thought she might look a little pleased to be recognized.
Gianci seemed to have the same thought. He smiled broadly down at Taikie. "That wasn't the point? You should have gone with something smaller if you wanted to be easily forgettable."
Taikie ducked her head, color coming to her cheeks. Saydrie cleared his throat. "Are we in your way, Gianci?"
"No." He sat down cross-legged, mirroring Saydrie's position and leaning up against another bookshelf. "Since I came looking for you, it'd be hard for you to be in my way."
"Should we go?" Enrie asked politely.
"The three of you probably don't have many secrets, do you? I wish I was that close with my team, but they don't really like me that much." Gianci shrugged.
"Teams are supposed to get along, to work together." Taikie leaned forward, frowning. "That's why they set us up this way. It's in the rules."
"So I've heard. But everyone doesn't feel as strongly about it as you do." He nodded his head in a shallow bow. "What I'm trying to say is, we might as well save Saydrie the trouble of telling you everything later. I don't mind if you stay."
"Oh, I don't speak Bitrani, I won't be able to follow any of it," Taikie admitted. She was looking at Gianci in a way that Enrie found strange and out-of-character for her. This from the girl who'd spent all year ignoring Riensin's not-at-all-subtle suggestions?
"Neither do I." Gianci grinned at her. "I was born in Lannamer."
"Oh. Oh!" She looked away. "…oh."
"Oh," he agreed. He was smiling even wider, as if he found the whole thing far too amusing. Enrie cleared her throat, but found she didn't have anything to say.
Gianci didn't even notice. "I need to talk to you about Darnio, Saydrie. I know he's your friend. But he's going to get into a lot of trouble soon, and I don't want you to get caught up in it."
Category Book 2: The Missing Treaty, Chapters, Story | Tags: Enerenarie, Gianci, Saydrie, Tairiekie
2 comments »
The girls do need to hear this – if only so that they can provide an alibi. Or possibly alibis if you include Gianci.
Looks like Gianci's thinking what Saydrie was thinking…

Evening All,
After 3 rest days I decided to brave the Week 8 Run 1 tonight. I'd already taken the pup for a good walk so he could be left at home guilt free so I donned my new full leg length running leggings, long sleeved top and trusty trainers and off I went.
The Killers were keeping me at a nice pace but my damned leggings kept falling down which was very distracting.
Honestly I didn't know whether to laugh or cry; I left the house looking like a much curvier version of Olivia Newton John in those infamous black spray on leggings but half way round I resembled a teenage lad with his jeans hanging half way down his arse, showing off expensive underwear.
Anyway I managed to hang on to the waist band to protect my dignity and complete my full 28 minutes so I am very chuffed with myself tonight.
One step closer......


text: Flexible electronic devices generally integrate inorganic materials on a polymer substrate (such as metal films on a deformable polymer). The properties of these inorganic/organic hybrids are of great practical and theoretical. There have been numerous experimental and theoretical study of their mechanical properties, especially the failure strain of polymer-supported metal films. The fracture strain of polymer-supported thin metal films is significantly higher than that of free-standing metal films due to the suppressed necking in the supported metal film. However, there are few studies of the thermal conductivity of extremely strained metal films and inorganic/organic hybrids. Here, we experimentally measure the thermal conductivity of extremely strained polyimide-supported Au nanofilms (100 nm Au on 25.4 µm polyimide). The systematic study of interrelated mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties leads to a better understanding of the performance of flexible electronic devices across a range of realistic operating conditions. In addition, the validity of Wiedemann-Franz law for extremely strained metal is evaluated by comparing the measured thermal and electrical conductivities.

Tofte to the Canadian Border............
Today we drove north from Tofte up to the Canadian border. (We were so close to the border that I actually got a text from Sprint saying I was entered the Canadian Roaming Zone)
This rainbow was the first thing I saw as I rounded the corner to view the falls.
A few feet from the border crossing is Grand Portage State Park. The Ojibwe Indians named the place because it was a 9-mile portage to transport items around these great falls and the surrounding rapids, cascades and huge boulders.
High Falls is 120 feet and when the river is running high, it drops 3,200 gallons per second over these falls.
There is a platform where you can see all three falls at one time.
One final rainbow as we were leaving.
We also stopped at the Susie Islands overlook. These 13 islands are important conservation sites in part because of their rare native plant communities. Large varieties of moss and lichen, more usually seen in arctic and subarctic regions, have been spared the frequent forest fires and heavy human traffic. A 1 to 3 foot thick blanket bog of sphagnum mosses has spread over the islands.
In this isolation, a community of plants continues to thrive. Species that disappeared from the rest of Minnesota after the glaciers receded northward still survive here.
Back at the resort, we were joined by a couple birds and the beautiful sound of the waves hitting rocks.

Introduction: Wall-E's Anti-Social Cousin: Object Avoiding Arduino Controlled Robot!
I recently built an Arduino controlled robot, that avoids objects and sends out a PING)) Sonar to check where an object is. Once an object is detected, the robot backs up and turns the other way!
I call it the anti-social robot.
Participated in the
I Made It Photo Contest

Hey I need some help with project. i'll pay good ... ? i want to make a rc plane that has a object recognition and following that object (car, other rc plane, ...)
whatever you need i'll provide
Could you show the code?
Hi im pretty new to robotics, is it ok if you could show/explain the code that you used, i seem to really struggle with that part
Hi, have you posted the instructable for this yet? I'm busy building a shy plinth..
Can I use K`nex?
Where is the instructables please?
It is a nice idea, but no instructable
Is there a link for this kit in the maker shed? I can't find it
This is awesome. Are you still planning on putting the instructions up for this? I'm really interested.
Most definitely! It should be up in a few days.
Awesome! Can't wait to see it.
where did you get that chassi?
I got mine in the Makers Shed. Keep your eyes out for an Arduino bundle in the shed that includes all of the components needed to build this robot. It should be available within the next week or so.
Was it a kit, or your own design?
I built the robot chassis from a kit, but I applied the Arduino and sensor components through my own building and testing. It definitely taught me important aspects of the Arduino, Motor Shields, and sensors that I can use in future projects.
So, when the photo challenge is over, will you be posting a proper ible?
Of course!

Retention Practices for your Sales People
By Chafic Kharma16th May
Many of my senior executive clients I spoke to have one concern in common; turnover rate of their sales people. This pressing challenge is not uncommon, most of the studies I came across pegs the annual rate of turnover at around 20 percent. Most companies recognize this challenge yet they don't have specific plans in place to retain their sales people or even address the root causes of why they are leaving.
The sales team is company's soul where they put their sweat and tears into growing its revenue and they are naturally sought-after by competitors. So, it is critical to understand why they leave and to take necessary actions to keep them focused on selling and to retain them. One thing for sure is that it is not all about money! Studies validate that money is the last reason for them to leave a company – they want to feel part of something bigger than themselves. They leave when a set of other factors come into play. The good news is that many of these factors are within company's control. I will address these practices within the context of EMPLOYEE ENAGEGEMENT. Why is that?
Engagement is when the sales people are enthusiastic to perform and are committed to work to achieve the company's goals. It is when relationships become stronger, when happiness levels rise and when they are willing to contribute their knowledge, skills, abilities and efforts toward the success of the company.
When an organization and its sales people embrace the principles of engagement, staff performance and retention rise. A sales team that is engaged can be incredibly productive. The Sales Management Association found that organizations with fully engaged sales team have 70 percent higher win rates. Therefore, companies must institute certain practices, as we will see, to make their sales people too engaged to consider leaving a company. All are within the context of the 'Universal Factors' I mentioned in my earlier post – Building a Culture of Organizational Citizenship.
Team Effectiveness. Developing effective teams is to get its members to set aside their individual agendas and to commit to a common objective in an environment of mutual trust and respect. When operating effectively as a team, sales people will perform at their best because of the support and collegial competition that they get from teams. To do so, they need to know each other and to collaborate on commitment and trust. When team members collaborate, they share creative ideas without fear that another team member will take credit for their ideas. This keeps them involved with each other and the organization, making retention easier.
Support Leadership. Sales people have pretty developed radar and antennas when it comes to management's leadership. This leadership is seen in managers' behavior and activities, like discussing and mutually agreeing with their sales team members on team's goals and objectives. They should both have buy in to what needs to be done, when it needs to be done and what resources will be required to deliver the results.
Managers should also spend time with their sales people in the field, make joint sales calls and attend sales meetings. They should take the success of their sales people personally and put it above their own. They should have regular private conversations with them, keeping in touch with their wishes and dreams and their problems. Sales people need to believe that managers are the captain who goes into battles in front of the troops leading them. If they feel that the organization and its managers support them, they will be more willing to stay on to make a contribution.
Development and Growth. Sales people tend to be deeply career focused and want to see that they have a career path mapped for them; they want to be in an environment where they can grow long term. Organizations should invest in the professional development of its people and support their vertical growth. It should have incremental promotion steps and succession plan that will make sale people have something to work for all the time. Meanwhile, managers will have to know what each of their sales people would like to do better in and take the necessary approach in coaching on those areas. They should help them identify a mentor within the organization who will help them get to the next level in their career. That way, sales people know the organization is committed to their development and growth making them more loyal when other opportunities come knocking.
Recognition. Sales people want to know that the work they're doing is being appreciated. Recognizing their work makes them feel good about themselves and what they do. It inspires them to invent, create and discover. Managers should Keep an eye on the progress made by their sales people and should take the time to celebrate successes and milestones along the way — not just when the team hits the quarterly numbers. Meaningful recognition is a certain thing to do but it is important to let them know why they have been recognized and make it a point in public. Sales people will stay in place when they know that their contributions are vital to the organization.
Make your organization a great place to work. Provide your sales people with the support and collaboration they need to perform their work. And give them a sense of purpose and belonging, recognizing accomplishments, and providing career development and growth opportunities. Your sales people are extremely valuable so don't let a competitor steal them away because you didn't institute these practices. Losing from your sales workforce can be harmful to your organization's morale, profitability, and productivity.
We work alongside managers to uncover the optimum practices to achieve lasting engagement and high-levels of retention. Our approach model throughout this journey involves:
- surveying team members to gain insights on focus areas
- engaging team members to act on survey results and drive action plans
- partnering with managers to achieve an engaged organization culture providing them necessary guidance and tools

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." Luke 14:23
It is famously said that the "Great Commission" is not the "Great Suggestion". Jesus told us in the book of Luke to go out into the highways and byways and compel, not suggest, the lost to come.
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19
Jesus told Peter that he would be a fisher of men. The Lord Jesus wants to, by the Holy Spirit, come and do the same work in each of our lives. The heart beat of Jesus is souls. It's the reason He came! You were lost at one time, aren't you so glad that He found you? Jesus said that He came to "seek and to save that which was lost" SEEK and SAVE. This is a search and rescue mission, mandated to us from Heaven. Jesus told us to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel!" in Acts 1:8 He said that we would be a witness of Him unto the uttermost parts of the Earth.
It's time to rise up, fully yielded to and empowered by the Holy Ghost, without fear holding any one of us back, and go outside the four walls and reach people on a daily basis with the awesome Gospel of Jesus Christ!
You don't have to know everything, you only have to know Jesus!
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2 that his speech and preaching was not with "wise and persuasive words". In Acts 4 the Pharisees marveled that Peter and John were "Unlearned and ignorant men" but "Took knowledge of the fact that they had been with Jesus". Jesus told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would give them the words to say, and not to even premeditate on what to say! What's more, the last verse of the Book of Mark says "And the Lord worked with them, confirming the Word with signs following!" As you proclaim the Gospel, in the best way you know how, the Holy Spirit will work WITH YOU!
I am reminded of a wonderful testimony when I was training people in street Evangelism. There was an elderly lady who wanted to win souls, however she had poor vision so she had trouble seeing the Gospel Soul Winning Script that we used to witness. When we arrived at the first door, a young lady who was clearly busy answered the door. She didn't know us, and seemed ready to get back to her chores. The elderly lady began to read the Soul Winning Script, however because her vision was poor, and she was nervous, she began to fumble all around the Script incoherantly. Her daughter who was there tried to step in, but I didn't let her. To any modern day Pharisee or "theologian", this would have been a VERY poor way to communicate the Gospel. However, when I looked at the young ladies face, tears began to stream down her face, and she felt the overwhelming love of God. I helped the elderly lady through the script, and the young lady prayed and accepted Christ into her heart!

The last time I heard Live, "Lightning Crashes", and "I Alone" was back in the mid 90s. ("Throwing Copper" was released in 1994.) Between then and 2001, I haven't really followed them. Seeing The Tonight Show with Jay Leno just brought back some nostalgia from that time period, I guess. I was in 6th grade back then.

One of the oldest shoe makers in the world, Converse, have a wide range of shoes available in market. The company known for its quality and range is the topic of conversation here. The types of shoes it has are to be put under the magnifying glass and a wider yet better look will be given to the types of shoes by Converse.
The Latest Types Of Converse Sneakers
Converse All Stars Shoes
The first will be Converse all stars shoes. These are the shoes that brought in the era of canvas shoes. They are the first of their kind canvas shoes. More like a cloth shoe they are being designed as the tennis shoes with various designs and fits. The most popular among them will be the high ankle all stars in denim.The cloth that is being used in making these shoes is basically denim cloth of various colors and then is designed accordingly. The have a rubber sole as that of the tennis shoes but a little heavier than them. The latest version of these shoes is the sparkle shoes specially designed for the fairer sex.
The Winter Boots From Converse
The second of their kind will be the winter boots. These boots are made up of suede leather which is one of the highest quality leather. The pores on the inside of these boots make them comfortable and allow the feet to breath properly. The leather is being processed in such a way that it makes the leather more durable but at the same time lighter in weight as well.
The tan used is also water resistant. The high quality of these shoes not only make them a favorable choice of everyone in winters but also give the hikers a choice. They are being used by many hikers because of the above mentioned qualities.
The Converse Sneakers
Another type would be the Converse sneakers. They are more or less like the Converse all star but with few minute differences. The choice of cloth being used and the choice of soles being used are different rest being the same.Also the styles and designs which are available in Converse all stars are more as compared to the Converse sneakers.
The Converse Weapon
The last but not the least will be Converse weapon. These shoes are specially designed for the basketball players. Keeping in mind the needs of the game and the players involved these shoes are being made with a technology which pushes the feet back from the ground. The push technology nowadays is being used in various other sports shoes as well.
In this technology an aluminum spring is being attached on the inside of the heel of the shoes and the moment feet touches the ground they experience and impulse and the speed is being rebound pushing the feet away from the ground hence giving a thump. This technology is put to utter effective use by players while scoring baskets.Thus, covering all the types of Converse, it will be wise to say that Converse is the maker and inventor as well of many types of shoes and the reputation is has in market is not made overnight so, the quality it offers is impeccable.

We in the paleontology department have been very fortunate to have Dr. DB Poli, a VMNH research associate and professor at Roanoke College, working at the museum during her sabbatical. Dr. Poli has been aiding me in the collections room to organize, check IDs, and catalogue a large portion of our paleobotany collection. Dr. Poli is also a member of the Dragon Research Collaborative. Team Dragon, as they call themselves, is:
"… a large group of scholars, faculty, museum scientists, undergraduate students, and community partners trying to understand dragons. This group started with a central question about the connection of Carboniferous plant fossils to dragon lore the rest evolved naturally as the data progressed. The team is dynamic and unique. No one is more important than anyone else, and everyone works together. Team Dragon is an academic think tank that strives to show the power in multidisciplinary thinking." -www.dragonrc.com
It has been a fun and interesting journey learning more about paleobotany, the different pieces of dragon lore, and how the two are interconnected. While working with the VMNH paleobotany collection, she, along with cowork Dr. Lisa Stoneman, decided that they could develop teaching resources based around the fossils. Dr. Poli, Ray and I worked together to select fossil plants with enough relief to be captured in a cast. With the specimens selected, it was time to develop the teaching kit. Ray and I focused on making the molds and casts of the plants while Dr. Poli and Dr. Stoneman focused on developing teacher resources. Today, the kits launched!
The most interesting aspect about these kits, in my opinion, is that the Dragon Research Collaborative (DRC) website will be continuously working to create more lesson ideas that include the plant casts (9 casts in the kit). You can learn more about the casts on the Carboniferous Fossil Plants Kit page.
As new resources become available on the DRC website, I will make short posts about them here to keep you all in the know.

Incredibly she still has 8 ducklings, now well-grown (see pic). They're pretty tame and are now taking wheat, which is a bit cheaper than the mealworms they've been used to!
A Sparrowhawk was attacking kites overhead today, so I guess they have chicks now in the usual place.

Does look amazing. Is the loose soil in the foreground of the last pic glacial moraine?
Yes and it has been cut through by the melt water from another glacier.
Amazing - all we normally see are surface humps and bumps giving no insight to the depth of new loose soil beneath

Gordon Brown Is Back!
It was British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson who coined the term "A week is a long time in politics", and while Gordon Brown's astonishing turnaround as British Prime Minister has taken a little longer than that, it has been truly remarkable.
When the British public turn on their leaders, they do it with a viciousness that's positively medieval. A year ago, Gordon Brown was political poison. In the great tradition of British politics, his Labour Party was openly plotting his demise in the tea rooms and bars of Westminster. His demise was expected in a matter of weeks, and his stoic Scottish demanour combined with an almost uncanny lack of political savvy conspired to hasten it.
But then something happened. Gordon found his mojo. Starting with an unexpectedly stirring keynote speech at the Labour Party Conference in September, Brown began to take on his critics in the best way a leader can, by being exactly that – a leader. The speech was a dignified mea culpa of his mistakes and failings, combined with a cogent vision for the future, and it stopped the bleeding.
The speech was followed by another masterstroke. Amid the flailing response by Hank Paulson, the Bush Administration and Congress to the galloping credit crisis and precipitous market collapse, it was Gordon Brown's plan to buy stakes in the UK banks that, overnight, calmed the waters. First, the Euro-zone and then, unwillingly, the US, followed the Brown plan, and the immediate panic dissipated, virtually overnight. Brown's status as British political whipping boy was replaced by a standard grudging acceptance by the grudging Brits that he did, well, okay.
Of course, in blissfully naive America, it was the idiotic TARP program that got the credit (even though much of its success came from a watered-down application of the Brown capital-infusion plan), and Brown has hardly recevied the accolades he deserves. Part of the reason for that is that his personality is utterly unshifting. He's the same measured, unflappable fellow whether Scotland had just won the World Cup, or whether the global econony is collapsing into chaos. To put it simply, he's not by nature charismatic, nor particularly likeable. Up until now that was a black mark on the guy.
In foreign policy, Brown has signaled that by June of 2009, British troops, with the exception of a few companies of trainers, will be out of Iraq, and that long nightmare will be over. And yesterday, Brown continued his roll. By holding talks with leaders of both India and Pakistan, and putting forward some serious on-the-ground applications of UK counter-terrorism power, he showed what Obama has to do to calm the storm in South Asia. Of course, the UK has a special role in both India and Pakistan. It did, after all run India for centuries before independence and partition. But Brown's power is not Obama's. And yet, his calming, stoic influence is now seen as an advantage. He and Obama seem to share that same unflappability, although Obama could sell an Escalade to an environmentalist, and Brown could not.
The next election in Britain will probably be around the same time British troops return to the UK from Iraq, a nice capper for Brown's comeback. Domestically, Labour should rise in the polls, despite the brutal effects of the recession in Britain. Already, the usual litany of by-election disaster seems to have stopped, and the timing for that turnaround is as good as it gets. There's a good chance Brown and Labour will win in 2009. The Tories are losing their main talking points by the day.
Brown is a perfect recessionary leader. He was a very good chancellor in many respects (except for his mistake of letting the derivative, and mortgage market totally get out of control, as happened in the US), and his calm, unflappable demeanour is likely to become a huge asset.
Perhaps he will be Margaret Thatcher to Obama's Reagan. They seem well suited to be close allies. Perhaps the special relationship does have one last hurrah, and together the US and UK can begin a more intelligent assault on the excesses of market capitalism, and in the foreign sphere, on Islamic Jihadism.
Brown is Back. Who would have predicted it. But politics is a funny old game, it really is.

Director: Sam Mendes
Starring: Andrew Scott, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden
Sam Mendes' World World I drama has been praised for its use of long takes stiched together seamlessly to make it look like you're watching one continuous shot, and while it's not the only good thing about the movie it is probably the most impressive, masking a less-than-thrilling storyline. Still, worth seeing.
Birds Of Prey
Director: Cathy Yan
Starring: Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan McGregor
DC hasn't really hit it off in the cinema since Christopher Nolan's three-part Batman trilogy. Capitalising on one of the few redeeming features of Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie is front and centre this time as Harley Quinn. In this film a ragtag bunch of strange outcasts with amazing abilities team up to... Wait, this plot sounds familiar. Maybe the second time's a charm for this outing of super villains.
Gretel & Hansel
Director: Osgood Perkins
Starring: Sophia Lillis, Charles Babalola, Alice Krige
A low-key horror movie that fans of the genre will want to seek out. As you might have guessed, the story comes from the Brothers Grimm tale, but it's not entriely true to that plot. From the same director as the Netflix sleeper hit I Am the Pretty Tthing that Lives in the House thi shas a similar look and feel and plays out as much as a coming-of-age tale as a horror. Good work all round.
Little Women
Director: Greta Gerwig
Starring: Saorise Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh
Despite revisiting a familiar story, that's been told many times before, there's a lot of freshness about this remake. There's a shift in tone and a different take on the story, all paired with familiarity in the overall emotional journey. We're not surprised to see the Oscar nominations and it could be a real contender for prizes.
Ordinary Love
Director: Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn
Starring: LIam Neeson, Lasley Manville
A tender drama that comes alive in its quietest, most undemonstrative moments. Tom (Liam Neeson) and Joan (Lesley Manville) lead a simple life in retirement, following the death of their only child. Their lives are intentionally undramatic. Then she notices a lump, and we all know what's coming up. Don't expect dramatic fireworks – very little happens narratively – but prepare for this quiet film to tiptoe into your heart.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Director: Jeff Fowler
Starring: Jim Carret, Ben Schwartz, James Marsden
Has a movie trailer ever had such universally bad reviews (Cats, perhaps?) that the filmmakers have gone back and reshot the film? This time around the blue hedgehog looks more like he does in the game and is all the better for it. Add in Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik and you have the makings of a fun kids film.
The Room
Director: Christian Volckman
Starring: Olga Kurylenko, Kevin Janssens, Joshua Wilson
No, not that The Room, Tommy Wiseau is nowhere to be seen in this horror. A couple, who are struggling to have a child, move into a house and find a magic room that grants wishes. Can you guess what they ask for? Do you think it will turn out well? A decent three-out-of-five fright night film with a good idea at its heart, but not one anyone is likely to return to.

Charlie Weis spoke about retired Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski during a radio appearance.
Former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis during an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio:
Charlie Weis (SiriusXM NFL Radio host): "There aren't too many tight ends that you can count on to make all those plays that a dynamic outside wide receiver (makes). When you see a dynamic outside wide receiver you kind of count on him to be able to have that rapport with the quarterback, especially in the red zone where the quarterback has to throw to a special window because the windows are small. … Well, with a guy like Gronkowski who had those same type of ball skills and that same type of body control it gave you a weapon. That's why the guy scored so many touchdowns. Not only was he a physical mismatch by size but he could do all those things that the great wide receivers could do. There have only been a handful of tight ends that could do things like that. People think about Tony Gonzalez, with the ball skills he had. That's right, but Tony was a basketball player with great ball skills that caught a zillion balls. Gronk was an interior guy who learned to play outside, more than an outside guy that learned to play inside."

I plucked my important USB into the compute. It said that the USB was corrupted and that it needed to be formatted.
I went to the command prompt and done this: Chkdsk g: /r.
All my files were listed and I felt so much better. But when it had completed I went to the G:Drive and my most important files were missing.
PLEASE help me recover these files. I know they are there somewhere as I downloaded software that recovers files and they were listed in there, but could not recover as I have no money to buy the program and I need the file by 5pm tomorrow. :(

Regional governments team up to help with home renovations
Community leaders will play a key role in helping secure funding for local residents facing financial challenges to make needed home repairs.
NeighborImpact has asked the city of Prineville and Crook County to join multiple other government agencies throughout Central Oregon in an agreement that paves the way for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligibility in multiple rural communities.
According to a memo provided to Prineville City Council by Andrew Spreadborough, deputy director for NeighborImpact, the agreement would "formalize support for and define the geography of a proposed regional housing rehabilitation loan program." He added that it is intended to "express the support of the region's non-metropolitan cities and counties, and it establishes the project service area," which includes the entirety of Crook, Jefferson and Deschutes counties outside of Bend, Redmond and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
The program would provide loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners for improvement projects. They could include lead paint abatement, septic projects and sewer connects that increase health and safety, or construction improvements to address substandard conditions such as roof replacements, siding repairs, or fixes to HVAC or electrical systems.
Spreadborough went on to note that eligible homeowners would receive low-interest loans that are often deferred, meaning they don't need to be repaid until the property is sold or transferred.
Lending programs are not new to NeighborImpact as the regional nonprofit has managed programs for 20 years for residents throughout the region. The organization has likewise received and administered CDBG grants for prior rounds of housing rehabilitation loan funds.
Prineville City Council adopted a resolution in late July that authorized a city submission of the regional housing rehabilitation grant application on behalf of the region. The application will be prepared by NeighborImpact and the nonprofit will request $400,000 in CDBG funds for the program to be available region-wide.
If it is awarded, NeighborImpact will be a "sub-recipient" of the funds and will operate the regional housing rehabilitation program on behalf of the all of entities who sign the intergovernmental agreement.
Prineville City Council agreed to join the intergovernmental Tuesday evening, joining the Deschutes and Jefferson counties, City of La Pine, City of Madras, City of Sisters and Crook County.
The push for an agreement and subsequent grant application comes at a time when NeighborImpact has a waiting list of 41 interested applicants, seven of whom live in Crook County.
This would mark the second time the City of Prineville has participated in the application process for a CDBG grant. The municipality has already helped land a grant to make more than $900,000 worth of upgrades to Prineville's Soroptimist Senior Center.

Today former Prime Minister Gordon Brown dragged himself out in support of Scottish Labour 'leader' Jim Murphy (and I think Keiza Dugdale was kind of mentioned once) and made the 'vow plus'. This is after saying the 'Vow' has been fulfilled and after Labour stripped the Smith Commission of meaningful powers, so either they've been lying or well, they've been lying in what is a desperate attempt to try to grab the 'narrative' (politics is all about narrative in Tory/Labour world) from the SNP.
The audacity of it is astonishing. After all Brown stood there in September saying 'more powers' and 'home rule' over and over, while a compliant and supine media pushed the line over and over til the people of Scotland voted no. Yet here we are in February, only a few months later and now the powers Labour were praising as a 'great victory' for Scotland didn't go far enough, yet Labour themselves stripped the Smith Commission of meaningful powers so they actually gave less than the Tories.
So Labour are trying to say they want to give Scotland more (even though they've ensured that it gets as little as possible) because they want to grab votes from the majority that want Devo Max but instead ended up with a fudge that sees Scotland get nothing like the 'powerhouse parliament' Labour said only last year had been achieved. What people want is a party that stands against austerity, fracking and Trident that will ensure democratic reform for not only the people of Scotland, but across the UK. They've got one so desperate that they're pulling the same lie they did in September and are trying to sell it again as a great move forward, when most people seem to have got so fed up by them that they're not listening anymore.
Still, at least Labour aren't reduced to doing fake petitions in order to raise funds.

By: Mike Rhodes, Sheena Peters, Kyle Evans and the Innovation Connector—
Muncie, IN—The Innovation Connector's 5th Annual Excellence in Innovation Awards were held on November 13, 2019 at a celebration event at the Horizon Convention Center in downtown Muncie.
The evening's events lead up to the introduction of the 5 finalists from the Innovation Connector's Big Idea Pitch Competition. Each of the 5 finalists pitched live, in front of over 350 people in the audience. Ms. Kirsten Smith, Associate Director at the Center for Information & Communication Sciences at Ball State University served as the Master of Ceremonies. In addition, Scott Wise, Entrepreneur and Owner of Roots Burger Bar, was the keynote speaker for the evening.
Wise, former owner of the Scotty's Brewhouse chain of restaurants, gave an inspiring, often emotional accounting of lessons he learned as a serial entrepreneur. Wise is a Ball State graduate who returned to Muncie after spending time in Texas where he came up with the idea for Scotty's Brewhouse. "My parents said, 'Prove it to us. Put together a business plan and show us how you can make the idea work,'" Wise said. So he did—and purchased the original Mugly's that became the original Scotty's Brewhouse.
You can listen to the audio of Scott's keynote as well as the entire awards program below. (Think of it as an extended length podcast.) Recording by WLBC 104.1 FM
Young Innovator's Award: Caleb Hunter
Caleb is 10 years old and a 5th grader at Royerton Elementary School. Caleb has been very active with the Coding Connector participating in nearly every session possible. He is the son of Ryan and Ashley Hunter. Ryan is one of the teachers for the Coding Connector (TechWise Academy) and Ryan and Ashley were finalists in last year's BIG Idea Pitch Competition.
While in school during his 4th grade year, Caleb recognized an opportunity to improve parent car pickup at the end of the school day. This process had students as "runners" who physically ran a list of names from the outside car line to a student waiting area inside the building. Caleb spent several months writing an Android app that would simply and efficiently communicate the same information with handheld devices. After presenting his app to the school board in May, it was adopted and is being beta tested at Royerton this school year.
Caleb is also a member of Royerton's Robotics Team and was a member of a team that qualified for the 2019 VEX World Championship. This involved creating, driving, and programming a robot to solve various challenges. He is a member of Cardinal Swim Club, the Youth Sports Performance program at Muncie Crossfit, and Cub Scouts. He is an avid reader and enjoys playing Fortnite in his spare time.
Excellence in Mentorship Award: Rick and Lani Wallace
Mentorship comes in many different forms influencing many different people and organizations. Rick and Lani Wallace are retired from their careers and could be doing the things that retired people are supposed to do. Both Rick and Lani are avid Apple device users and noticed that many people their age and older either do not know how to utilize these devices if they have them or that they are completely afraid ever to try to use an Apple device. For several years now, Rick and Lani have been mentoring senior citizens on how to use their devices.
Simple tasks such as taking a picture and posting it on Facebook and how to retrieve voicemail, to name a few are taught on nearly a weekly basis. Also important for Rick and Lani is for their students to be able to identify what phone and internet scams are and how to combat them. They mentor church groups as well as hosting their sessions at the Innovation Connector. Through these mentoring sessions, many people have been helped to connect with grandkids, their children, and old friends. Their students also have a sense of being connected to the modern tech environment, and they feel a sense of accomplishment in participating. Some of their classes are held in the John Fisher Room at the Innovation Connector. Rick and Lani make their classes fun! Even with the door closed, it is common to hear laughter and cheering from the room. Rick and Lani are true examples of mentors making a difference in our community!
Excellence in Innovation Award: Lathay Pegues, Terrell Cooper, and Rodney Robinson – JohnTom's BBQ
Lathay has continued the legacy of his grandfather in making his grandfather's recipe of BBQ sauce. Breaking into this competitive market has not been easy. Besides selling online, John Tom's BBQ sauce is on the shelf in hundreds of stores in the Midwest. It is the BBQ sauce of choice for Ball State University's Food Service and Catering. Lathay's alma mater, Indiana University, recently added John Tom's BBQ sauce to their menu as well. Innovation has happened in this business over the past ten plus years since its beginnings with owners Lathay, Terrell Cooper, and Rodney Robinson.
Starting with very small batches and limited production to meet customers' needs, John Tom's BBQ Sauce is produced in larger batches by outsourced companies who can meet their growing needs. There are also the logistic issues that occur during the growth of a business. Lathay spent way too much time picking up large orders at the production location in Indianapolis and moving them to a warehouse facility across town. From there, order quantities had to be split up for delivery or pickup from customers and distributors.
Lathay knew this logistics dance had to change. After receiving advice, he decided to move the warehousing and order processing to his home base – Muncie. Today, Lathay rents an area in the Madjax Makers Space that serves his receiving and shipping needs. Currently the sauce is sold in more than 100 retail locations as well as 65-70 food services. His business is more streamlined, and now he can spend more time focusing on growing the business and servicing customers. As an entrepreneur, Lathay is an example of dedication and determination to bring a business to life. As innovators, JohnTom's Barbecue continues to be ready to pivot and adjust his business with market needs. Lathay and team, thank you for keeping your grandfather's recipe alive and available for all of us to share.
Excellence in Innovation Award: 5 Tool Academy—Mark and Heather Taylor
Mark's professional career in sales, although a steady and secure job, was not fulfilling for him. Wife, Heather, also enjoyed a challenging career in the technology marketing field. They had accumulated some startup capital as well as earned an excellent credit history. If Mark was going to make a career change, now was the time to do it. Mark loves baseball. Even after his playing days from youth through college ended, Mark's passion for the sport never died down. Mark and Heather desired to create a place where baseball and softball athletes could develop their skills while fostering a sense of community.
With Mark's baseball acumen and Heather's marketing expertise, combined with the entrepreneurial spirit of both, 5 Tool Academy was founded in Yorktown, IN. 5 Tool is making a difference in the region. Several 5 Tool athletes have earned the opportunity to play at the collegiate level and two members were even drafted by Major League Baseball in 2019. Athletes are achieving their dreams of making the team, hitting the home run and making the play while developing even more important life skills. Additionally, nearly 20 highly qualified instructors work with athletes every week sharing not only their knowledge but also their passion for the game while also fulfilling the critical role of mentor in the lives of students. 5 Tool also provides an indoor training facility for approximately 30 teams and through partnerships in the community, 5 Tool manages multiple baseball and softball tournaments that continue to rapidly grow.
Mark and Heather also are community champions for special needs athletes through Challenge League. The league offers special needs athletes the opportunity to experience the thrill of playing baseball on a team of their peers. Each player has a "buddy" assisting the child as needed, enabling area baseball and softball players the opportunity to interact with a special needs athlete. For anyone with a family member or a friend with special needs that has played in the league, it is truly inspirational (and fun) to watch. It is one thing to have a passion for a certain interest in your life. It takes an entrepreneurial spirit and a lot of hard work to make the passion a business. Mark and Heather are doing just that!
Excellence in Innovation Award: Elm Street Brewing Company—Bill Lett & Eric Jones
There is a certain vibe around Muncie when people talk about Elm Street Brewing Co. Situated in a neighborhood setting just north of downtown Muncie, Elm Street Brewing Co. is more than just a brewery and a restaurant. This business is a neighborhood transformer. By changing an old and abandoned icehouse into a trendy place to meet, eat, and drink, Elm Street Brewing Co. has already changed the image of this older Muncie neighborhood.
On top of that, additional abandoned homes and homes in need of drastic repair in this neighborhood are being transformed into functional and livable homes once again. The design and ambiance of Elm Street Brewing Co. are unique and impressive. But Elm Street Brewing Co. is more than just a building – it is a catalyst of change to revitalize a neighborhood that needed a lift. And it serves as an example of change that is possible for all of Muncie and other neighborhoods in our community. True innovation in business often looks like this – making a difference in the community and place where you are.
Both Bill and Eric are visionaries who not only wanted to start and grow a business; they wanted to impact an entire community. As posted on their website, this phrase captures the heart and soul of Elm Street Brewing Co: "We pour our heart and soul in every beer we produce and invite you to enjoy a taste and experience that relives the spirit that built this town." Elm Street Brewing Co. is a shining example of the difference one business can make.
Excellence in Innovation Award: American Lawn Mower Company – Robert & Michael Kersey
Sometimes, the best innovation is to be in business long enough and be successful enough for societal changes to positively impact the business a second, third and sometimes a fourth time. American Lawn Mower has been in business since 1895 – that's 124 years!
Before the rotary lawnmower, this blade turning push mower was what everyone used to cut grass at homes, golf courses, parks – everywhere. They were featured in the Sears and Roebuck's famous catalog and many department stores around the USA. When the rotary lawn mowers were invented and start selling throughout the world, sales for the American Lawn Mower's product took a significant tumble. Many businesses that produced similar styles of lawnmowers went out of business and closed down.
But because of an acquisition and continued innovation, American Lawn Mower has been able to survive. Now enter the environment awareness age as well as smaller lawns on both coasts, their products are once again in high demand, and American Lawn Mower is there to meet the need. A significant part of the innovation has taken place in the area of marketing and branding. Since the internet has provided an opportunity for a global market, understanding their customers and how to reach them has been a primary focus. Because of this, American Lawn Mower Company continues to serve its customers with its legacy product as well as additional products. Father and son, Robert and Michael, strive every day to continue this legacy as well as innovate for future changes and opportunities.

Baseus Air Vent Gravity Car Holder - Silver
Most Helpful Reviews
270994I've been looking for a phone holder for a while and came across this model. Ordered it, and was really impressed when it arrived as it felt good and sturdy. Fitted it and it works a treat.
Jon Porteous 6th July 2020
Works great so far261601I'm glad I chose this product. I almost chose another product because in the past I had no luck with vent phone holders. But the way this one is designed allows it to work well because it has a lengthy back stabilizer so that it doesnt simply bend your vent fins and fall to the floor with your phone in its grips. It fits both me and my spouses phones. IPHONE AND ANDROID.

Looks Good - Fine Functionality251443I bought this car air vent holder to accommodate my new Galaxy S-10 Plus. It functions fine; holds the phone securely over pitted and potholed roads and sharp swerves and turns. I live in Los Angeles and driving here is brutal on both cars and automotive accessories. After all I paid for this frack'n phone, I don't want it damaged due to a poorly designed or ineffective phone holder. This holder firmly keeps the phone in place to prevent its flying into the back seat, yet it's easy to insert or remove the phone at the start or end of my drive. Silver brackets and black mount looks great in my black interior Honda. Nice.

Why Buy?
- Vent holding mechanism compatible with most cars
- Hold and protect your phone
- 360 degree rotation of your phone
- Auto-lock functionality makes for easy one handed mounting
- Case compatible
Vent holding mechanism compatible with most cars
The Baseus mount includes a robust arm that hooks onto your vehicle's air vent, with a plastic spring-loaded holding block securing it in place. A supporting arm allows you to rest the mount against your dash or centre console, taking pressure off the vents themselves - allowing for a safer and more secure hold. Ideal for holding your smartphone when you decide to utilise it as a sat nav (satellite navigation) device.
Hold and protect your phone
Not only will your phone be secure in your car while driving, but the soft padded cushions protect your phone when within the mount. The tight grip ensures your phone remains in position, while the padding stops your phone from picking up any marks or scratches. The Baseus also features feet that can be pulled out to rest your phone on for perfect stability.
360 degree rotation of your phone
The holder features a large ball joint, allowing you to rotate your phone 360° for portrait or landscape positions and also includes a tilt depth of roughly 30° - meaning you can position the device however you wish and this allows you to secure the holder in place once you've found the perfect viewing angle.
Auto-lock functionality makes for easy one handed mounting
Featuring a gravity auto-lock function, the Olixar mount automatically closes the brackets so you can easily rest your phone within the holder with just one hand.
Case compatible
The Baseus Air Vent Gravity Holder is fully case compatible, so there is no need to remove your phone from its case while you are using the holder.

Change your mind, change your clothes, change your attitude…. May 17, 2009Posted by Carole Lynne in Feeling Better, Spiritual Priority, Uncategorized.
Tags: changing our lives, facing challenge, sharing spiritual experience, spiritual growth, support each other, time for yourself
Last night I took a half hour deciding what I would wear this morning when I go to serve the Greater Boston Church of Spiritualism as a medium and speaker. It was warm yesterday, and like most women, it is fun to put together a spring outfit. This morning when I got up it was damp and raining. I began to feel sorry for myself.
These days when I begin to "sink" I listen to the thoughts that are emerging carefully. I was having thoughts such as "this always happens to me. I spend time creating an outfit and then it is too cold to wear it." As I listened to the part of myself that is the "feel sorry for myself energy" I nicely told this energy to take a hike.
I changed my mind and decided to wear a warmer outfit, that goes with shoes that will support my feet alot better than the ones I was going to wear with the spring outfit. I changed my mind, I changed my clothes and the result was a change in attitude. I feel great right now.
This was a small moment in my life, but an important one. It is all too easy for all of us to feel sorry for ourselves over what is really a silly situation. Perhaps we should save our sorrow for the real problems that come up in life.

Learn how easy it is to use App Connect to connect Salesforce to Google Sheets™ so that every time a new lead is added in Salesforce, details of that lead are added automatically to a row in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
First, find or create everything you need:
- An App Connect subscription
- (If you haven't already connected App Connect to your Salesforce account) The name and password of your Salesforce account.
If you want to create a free test account in Salesforce rather than use your business account, make sure that you register for a Developer account from this URL: https://developer.salesforce.com rather than a Trial account. If you connect to App Connect with a Trial account, the Salesforce events don't work.
- (If you haven't already connected App Connect to your Google Sheets account) To connect IBM App Connect to Google Sheets, you use basic auth with OAuth credentials. You need to provide an OAuth 2.0 client ID, client secret, access token, and refresh token with appropriately-selected scopes for Google APIs. Getting those OAuth credentials is described in Getting OAuth client ID, client secret, access token, and refresh token for Google applications.
- A Google Sheets spreadsheet where the first row contains the following column names:
- Company name
- First name
- Last name
- Source
Next, create your flow:
As this is a basic example, there is no template in IBM App Connect. Use the following steps to create the flow froms cratch:
- Log in to App Connect.
- From the Dashboard, click New > Event-driven flow.
- Complete the following steps. As you progress, App Connect automatically saves your changes. If you navigate away from the flow at any stage, the flow is saved as a draft flow that you can complete at another time.
- Enter a name that identifies the purpose of your flow; for example:
Add row for new lead.
- Select Salesforce as your first application (source).
- Select New lead as the Salesforce event that will trigger the action in Google sheets.
- If you haven't already connected a Salesforce account, click Connect and follow the instructions to allow App Connect to connect to your Salesforce account.
- Select Google Sheets as your second application (target).
- Select Create row as the Google Sheets action.
- If you haven't already connected a Google sheets account, click Connect and follow the instructions to allow App Connect to connect to your Google Sheets account.
- Complete the following steps to choose the data that you want to transfer from Salesforce to Google Sheets:
- Enter a name that identifies the purpose of your flow; for example:
- From the banner, open the options menu [⋮] and click Start flow. Then click Dashboard to exit the flow. Your flow is displayed on your Dashboard and is listening for your event – the addition of a new lead in Salesforce.
Finally, test your flow:
- Log in to Salesforce with the account that you configured in App Connect, then create a new lead.
- Add values for Company, First name, Last name, and Email, then save the record.
- Log in to Google Sheets with the account that you configured in App Connect. You should see a new row in your spreadsheet, and the row should contain the details of the new lead that you entered in Salesforce.
You've created a flow that automatically adds details of a lead to a row in a Google Sheets spreadsheet every time a new lead is added in Salesforce.

Stock Market for Dummies? I think not…
Most investors become proficient at investing after some painful experiences. When should we learn how to invest? Well, while we learn everything else when we are young probably. It should be part of our education. Most investors realize this when they discover that the investment professionals have no better clear understanding of how to invest than they do. If the markets go up, they help you make money. If the markets go down, they help you lose money. Are they actually better at anticipating the stock market? Who wrote the all too popular book stock market for dummies? Or is it stock investing for dummies? I don't remember…but I do know this…
If you have taken the steps to educate yourself in stock market trading, you will find that the candlestick signal investment method is based upon common sense investment procedures. Most investors spend years accumulating assets only to find themselves without the knowledge of how to make those assets grow.
Through the use of technical analysis tools like candlestick chart formations the trader is able to anticipate market trends, market reversal, and successfully trade market volatility.
Through the use of candlestick patterns such as the doji candlestick (see image), traders are able to identify changes in market sentiment (such as the market indecision that the doji indicates.)
Additionally, if you combine candlestick signals with the fundamentals of stock analysis such as margin of safety, intrinsic stock value, and price to earnings ratio you will begin to see a new way of investing that just makes sense.
Combine your basic candlestick analysis education with the tools available to members of my forum and you will have a nice foundation in which to see your assets finally grow. Yes, of course beginning with a stock market for dummies book of some sort will get you the started, but if you are reading this you are probably already ahead of the game.

LEOMINSTER — Despite being run over after reportedly ditching his motorcycle on Sunday afternoon, an unidentified man is in stable condition at Umass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, said a police department spokeman on Monday.
The motorcyclist suffered the injuries after, according to a witness, he ditched or jumped off his bike as a car veered toward him near Prospect and Lawrence street. Once off the motorcycle, he was run over suffering multiple trauma and several open fractures. He was also unconscious, but breathing.
He was first rushed by ambulance to UMass HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital's Leominster campus before being airlifted by a medical helicopter to Worcester.
The Central Mass. Law Enforcement Council's accident reconstruction team is investigating the circumstances of the crash, said the spokeman.

Yesterday I was asked during an interview, "How much time do you spend on the internet and social media?" Whenever I put deep thought into this question, I realize the answer is always, too much.
To a very extreme degree, we are all addicted to looking at social media and other items on the internet. Not only that, but what we are looking at is not only useless, but terrible content. We read stories about what the Kardashians are doing, what your friend on Facebook just ate, who just dropped the n-word, another cute cat photo. Well, ok the last one is awesome, but the rest, not so much . Imagine, if all the Facebook stories that you were looking at and all the random celebrity stories, and everything else was put into a book, would you read it? No. In fact, it would be the worst book ever. We have all these opportunities to read novels and amazing research stories that people have dedicated her life to. Instead, we pump our time into this quick fix drug of social media for a little bit of entertainment that has no value and will reap no benefits. Go dark, read a book. Stop cycling through those same 4 websites and apps like a drug addict.

"There is a crack, a crack in everything: That's how the light gets in" sings Leonard Cohen, and this is ultimately the message brought by the bones that can be admired in this book; death is an eternal wound and at the same time a way out. A long way from the idea of cemetery, its atmosphere of peace and the emotions it instils, the term "ossuary" usually evokes an impression of gloomy coldness but the three places in this book are very different. The subjects in question are Italy's most important religious ossuaries in which bones have been used with decorative ends: the Capuchin Crypt and Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte in Rome, and San Bernardino alle Ossa in Milan. Thick with the sensation of mortality and vanitas, these ossuaries are capable of performing a completely unexpected role: on the one hand they embody the memento mori as an exhortation to trust in an afterlife for which the earthly life is a mere preparation and test, on the other they represent shining examples of macabre art. They are the suggestive and emotional expression – which is at the same time compassionate – of a "high" feeling: that of the transitory, of the inexorability of detachment and the hope of Resurrection. Decorated with the same bones they are charged with safeguarding, they pursue the Greek concept of kalokagathìa, namely to make the "good death" even aesthetically beautiful, disassembling the physical body to recompose it in pleasant and splendid arrangements and thereby transcend it. The clear and in-depth texts of the book set these places in the context of the fideistic attitudes of their time and Christian theological traditions whereas the images immerse us in these sacred places charged with fear and fascination. Page after page, the patterns of skulls and bones show us death in all of its splendour, they make it mirabilis, worthy of being admired.
The series:
After the first volume about the Palermo Catacombs, and the second about the Fontanelle cemetery in Naples, this is the third book of the #BizzarroBazar series, edited by Ivan Cenzi. The object of this series, with texts in Italian and English, is to enhance and explore some of our peninsula's hidden wonders and invite people to think about its artistic and cultural heritage. The series conveys to the reader the same sense of astonishment and delight that can be experienced when entering a Wunderkammer. The absolute protagonists of the book are the amazing images by Carlo Vannini, one of the most recognized art photographers in our country, which offer the reader a perfect visual guide.
The author and editor:
Ivan Cenzi is an explorer of the uncanny and collector of curiosities. Since 2009 he has been the editor of #BizzarroBazar, a blog that deals with anything weird, macabre and marvellous, which in a short time has become the Italian landmark for this kind of topics. Over the years #BizzarroBazar has been dealing with wunderkammer, anthropology of death, museums and anatomical collections, history of the circus and travelling fairs, the early days of science, classical and modern art, alternative sexuality and in general anything at the outskirts of culture. He combines his work as a writer, editor and blogger with and intense work as a lecturer and collaborates with international museums and universities. From 2019, he is a lecturer for the master in Death Studies and for the degree course in Psychology of end-of-life relations at the University of Padua. He has contributed to various newspapers, written several foreword contributions for contemporary art publications and organized cultural events.
His books for #logosedizioni are: La veglia eterna. Catacombe dei Cappuccini di Palermo, De Profundis. Il cimitero delle Fontanelle di Napoli, Mors Pretiosa. Ossari religiosi italiani, Sua maestà anatomica. Museo Morgagni di Padova, Il pietrificatore. La collezione anatomica Paolo Gorini, Paris Mirabilia (also available in english and french), London Mirabilia (also available in english) and Julia Pastrana (also available in english).
The photographer:
Carlo Vannini is the photographer of all "cultural" objects: artworks, archaeological finds, restoration works, architectural structures, city views, but also ordinary handcrafted artefacts permeated by a strong historical feeling. He was born in Reggio Emilia in 1956, where his uncle, a painter, and his father, a decorator, made him familiar with artistic materials. After a short amateurish experience, Carlo developed a strong passion for the professional reproduction of artworks, which has been leading him through exciting adventures while documenting restoration works. He has gradually developed a mastery of photographic techniques such as ultraviolet, infrared, skimming light, transmitted light and mirrored light. Since 1983 he has been creating illustrations for catalogues and still-life advertising photographs and is acknowledged as one of the leading Italian fine art photographers.

Nouvive Research has found compelling data that indicates that the low volume and low volatility is an indicator that BTC is about to see an average of a 97% increase
The Bitcoin Volatility graph shows that in October and April of 2016, each time it goes to an all time low, we can see Bitcoin on an average of 88 Days later go between 93% and 102%.
Before April and October respectively, we see Bitcoin decrease in volume, moving sideways with no big moves happening in either direction.
This is reminiscent of the past 3 Months where we have had sideways movement and absolutely no volatility in Bitcoin.
Therefore Nouvive sees a 97% increase in Bitcoin over the next 90 Days.

Matt Marti is a molecular and cell biologist with longstanding interest in parasitology. In the past 12 years he has led a research program focusing on malaria transmission – from basic biology to translational aspects.
Their lab identified the human bone marrow as a niche for the development of malaria transmission stages. Subsequent work in their lab has confirmed this finding in non-human primates and the rodent malaria model. Recently they discovered a serum phospholipid as the environmental sensor regulating parasite growth and transmission during human infection. This work forms the basis for ongoing systematic dissection of this pathway in malaria parasites.

Leave Dates is very flexible in the way it allows you to define your company leave allowances. You can choose as many leave allowances as you like, and have them made up of multiple 'breakdown' elements (this is explained later).
Leave types can be configured to deduct from those allowances to ensure that employees cannot take more of a particular leave than allowed.
Leave allowances vs. Leave types
|Leave Allowances
|Leave Types
A leave allowance sets the limit of what an employee is allowed to take.
A leave type is what the employee actually takes.
A leave allowance should have at least one leave type which deducts from it (otherwise there wouldn't be any reason to use them).
Not all leave types need to deduct from a leave allowance.
For example, a company would be unlikely to have a limit on how much Jury service leave can be taken.
A leave allowance can be made up of multiple breakdown elements (described below).
Multiple leave types can deduct from the same leave allowance.
"Peter is allowed to take 15 days annual leave this year"
"Peter would like to take a day of paid time off on Thursday"
What is a leave allowance breakdown?
To give you greater flexibility for how you manage allowances, the total allowance each employee receives can be broken down into one or more elements.
For example, an annual leave allowance could be made up of their entitlement + carry over leave + bonus leave (for long service milestones). In this example, their allowance is broken down into 3 elements.
How to configure leave allowances in Leave Dates
Click the cog in the navigation menu, and go into the Allowances settings menu.
When you create a new company there is an allowance provided for you by default. You can either delete this using the bin icon, edit it by clicking on it or create new ones using the Add Allowance button.
If you click Edit or Add you will enter a screen like the one below where you can provide a name of the allowance and how it is made up of different elements.
Provide a default amount for each element which will then be given to new employees.
As you add new rows you will see the calculation changes. Please note that the elements are always added together.
Assigning Allowances to Employees
If you have already created your employees, you can assign the leave allowances in the employee settings menu. More info
Now you have configured your allowances, the next step is to set up leave types.
