My whole four years were a memory as Claudius won the Inter-House during those four years, and we won the Fiji Finals in 1989 (under the old points system without any sub-junior grade - pretty special). One of the best memories that stand out was beating RKS in the Under-17 Quarterfinal under floodlights in 1989, which was the main game that day (scored the winning try). First time ever to hear the Marist supporters sing and cheer like we do in the Fiji Finals, that day. We eventually lost in the grand final (3-4) to QVS, whilst our Under-18 team (captained by Samuela Loiti) won their grade grand final that year against RSMS.
Respect! The bonds of brotherhood and being there for each other, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, being in a very diverse and multiracial community, really helped in our lives after school, especially when going on to pursue further studies or joining the workforce. It was easier to get along with others, compared to some of our friends and colleagues from other All Boys Schools back home.
Prior to moving to California, I was with the Office of the Auditor-General in Fiji for over nine and half years. Was fortunate and blessed to be able to still pursue a career in Public Accounting here in San Francisco with a small CPA firm and have been with them for more than 10 years now.

Paintings and Drawings
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (support base). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.
Painting is a mode of creative expression, and can be done in numerous forms. Drawing, gesture (as in gestural painting), composition, narration (as in narrative art), or abstraction (as in abstract art), among other aesthetic modes, may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in a still life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, narrative, symbolistic (as in Symbolist art), emotive (as in Expressionism), or political in nature (as in Artivism).
A portion of the history of painting in both Eastern and Western art is dominated by religious art. Examples of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery, to Biblical scenes Sistine Chapel ceiling, to scenes from the life of Buddha or other images of Eastern religious origin.
In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, as well as objects. The term painting is also used outside art as a common trade among craftsmen and builders.
Drawing is a form of visual expression and is one of the major forms of the visual arts. Common instruments include: graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, chalk, pastels, markers, stylus, or various metals like silver-point. There are a number of subcategories of drawing, including cartooning and creating comics. There remains debate whether the following is considered a part of "drawing" as "fine art": "doodling", drawing in the fog a shower and leaving an imprint on the bathroom mirror, or the surrealist method of "entopic graphomania", in which dots are made at the sites of impurities in a blank sheet of paper, and the lines are then made between the dots.

We are nearing the start of the Poetry Swindon Festival. Hilda Sheehan makes the Festival happen every year. The rest of us are acolytes, bag carriers – fans of course as Hilda is a great poet, a captivating poet.
I was in Dublin Airport a while back when Ryanair shepherded us into the stairwell while they deplaned the incoming flight. I was reading and chuckling away when someone further down the stairwell said: "That book is amusing you. What are you reading?"
I told him I was reading When my Sister went to Hollywood, poems by Hilda Sheehan. "Go on," he said, "read one for us."
I did and they loved it. So we interacted about the context and the imagery and all the feelings that Hilda's poetry can release. I read several more before Ryanair took over and smiling faces boarded the plane. I could've been the poet-laureate of stairwells but Ryanair never got back.
Here is one of Hilda's poems, "The Parting".
He was an old bloke. Not a bloke
looking young for his age, or one
to hide lovers in the village
away from a kitchen wife, or make
up stories down the local pub
to a crowd of mates. He was alone;
you don't dress in green crimplene
trousers with off-white grubby
shirt for anyone else. His parting
of coarse grey hair was the first thing
that struck me; how it split him
right down the middle: two parts,
symmetrical (half sad, half sad).
I'd a vision of him as a boy,
his mother combing him in two,
expecting he would stay like that.

This blog contains my thoughts regarding change and adapting to it.
"All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive."
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi
"It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change."
― Leon C. Megginson
"Set patterns, incapable of adaptability, of pliability, only offer a better cage. Truth is outside of all patterns."
― Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kune Do

The legends in SikTh have marked their return! The band is currently planning to release a new album "The Future In Whose Eyes?" on June 2nd through Millennium Night.
To bolster this effort, they've now released two singles. The first of which was "Vivid" and now they're back with a brand new music video entitled "Golden Cufflinks". Give them both a listen down below.
"When I wrote lyrics to Golden Cufflinks, initially they were inspired by the amount of venues closing and being demolished, feeling like rock culture was in decline. But there are many metaphors and themes played out visually here. Golden eras come and go." – Mikee W Goodman

"Attending the exercise classes and sticking to the diet plan de nitely helped me make my goals more attainable."
26.2 lbs
Signing up to the elite 6 week challenge is one of the best decisions I ever made.
It really encouraged me to get healthy by providing a balanced diet and an exercise schedule that 100% encourages weight loss, improves muscle strength and exibility.
The challenge provided me with support and motivation to allow me to really enjoy exercise again, and not see it as a chore. Before joining elite I would drag myself to the gym once/twice a week and not concentrate on my diet, feasting out on takeaways and processed foods.
I found cutting out junk/ processed foods and attending the classes made me feel better physically and emotionally. I found the exercise reduced tension in both my body and mind which improved my mood and quality of sleep.
Attending the exercise classes, and sticking to the diet plan, de nitely helped me make my goals more attainable.
The encouragement I received from the professional trainers also provided me with con dence. They design the program in a fun and safe way, showing you proper exercise techniques so you don't hurt yourself, and help you get the most out of the challenge.
Finally, I enjoyed meeting new friends that were in a similar position. I found this a fun way to get a full body workout and allowed us to motivate each other during the challenge.

My STEP Signature Project was a nutritional road trip conducted in three of the fastest growing cities in the United States; Phoenix, Chicago, and Columbus during the summer of 2017. I wanted to discover these communities with a nutritional lens to compliment my future career path of a Physician Assistant specializing in nutrition by documenting various foods, the cost and nutritional value from the diverse cultures within each community. I explored the variety of cultures in each of these communities and the types of food offered, document how it is promoted and its nutritional value and the prices.
These project opened me up to so many new experiences and to try various types of food. I met many people who were not born in the United States and had strong ethnic identities and I learned so much about various cultures through this project. This is truly an expanding experience for me because I am from a very small town in central Ohio that only has 2,000 people in it. To put that in perspective: Smith-Steeb and Park-Stradley could hold my whole town essentially. There was not much diversity and I've had limited experience traveling before coming to Ohio State.
While completing this project I went to various restaurants all over these cities in highly ethnic areas and tried so many new foods. I also stayed with a Hispanic family when I was in Phoenix and an Indian family when I was in Chicago and had home cooked meals as well. It was amazing to immerse myself in these cultures and open myself up to try these many new things and discover how much differentiation there is between what kinds of food and proteins that each culture prefers and consumes most. Further research gave me a better understanding about the health statistics of each of these minorities.
When I was in Phoenix I stayed with a lively Hispanic family. Its my best friend's husband's family so I have stayed with them previously. My favorite food that they make when I visit is their grandma's green corn tamales which is so rare to find at other restaurants and stores. Besides Mexican food I also conducted my study on other high population minorities such as Colombian, Mediterranean, and Italian. As a disclosure I would like to say that every restaurant I went to was locally owned or only located in that central area of each state. My project focused on truly authentic restaurants to get the full culture experience. There was a language barrier ordering off of menus that were not English and staff that spook little English but the food was a better representation; and the crowd that these restaurants drew in were mostly their ethnicity which was highly relevant to my study.
When I was in Chicago I stayed with my Indian friend and her family. Her mother made home cooked meals including Dosa, Sambar, and Chutney . But Chicago is a highly diverse city which allowed me to try many different cultures. One of the nights I stayed in the Loop and we traveled to some of the neighboring subdivisions including Greek Town, and China Town. I also ate at the first Italian restaurant that was ever opened in Chicago called The Village and it is still only located in Chicago. Once returning to Columbus I finished my project here but eating at the local New Taj Mahal ran by a local Indian family on High street and Lavash Cafe which is locally owned in Columbus.
These experiences along with additional research about minority health statistics give me a very in-depth understanding about different cultures and compliments my future career path. I intend to become a dietitian to gain health care experience and then move to a Physicians Assistants graduate program in which upon getting my certification I will work towards specializing in Nutrition. It has also helped me personally in gaining diverse experiences and immersing myself in other cultures in ways that my upbringing has limited me to.

IN2: a mobile application initiative bringing people closer to their interests
The story started a year ago when Kamel Semakieh, software architect at Codefish, constantly suffered from organizing his sacred weekly football match. You'd think everything would go smoothly, but, from invitations to attendance, to figuring out where and when, who's in or out, and who's on who's team, it was a disaster. Games would end up being canceled due to lack of participants or coordination.
But he knew that there were lots of people out there who either were eager to play, or forgot the pleasure of playing or simply aspired to lead a more active lifestyle. However, inconvenience, inaccessibility, and lack of motivation, stood in the way. And so, that was the end phase; dulled passions, forgotten hobbies, and tennis racket collecting dust in the corner.
When Kamel realized that this problem exists everywhere, across all group activities, IN2 was born. Accelerated by Codefish, IN2 offered a mobile application that helps people organize their activities and find people to join in. Users choose their interests, and accordingly, IN2 feeds them with relevant activities. Moreover, it enhances the whole game experience with features such as polls, team selection, and score keeping.
Following the launch of the App in both Lebanon and Dubai, and after tackling the market, Kamel noticed that the problem was much bigger and touched not only the players but the sports venues and professional activity organizers alike.
Whether it was a football field, a yoga studio, a personal trainer or even a music teacher, the pattern was the same. Schedules, membership
Consequently, IN2 decided to offer venues and trainers a solution that helps them manage their business and expose them to their target audience. The solution would not only improves their efficiency and profitability but would also add significant value to their customers and IN2 users with features such as online booking/payment and visibility over their history and memberships.
IN2's user base has now grown into a significant community in both Lebanon and Dubai with over 20 weekly activities organized through the app. It also just recently launched the beta version of the management platform, used by a few Sports fields.
IN2 is available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Check out IN2's website for additional information.

Student group provides heads-up to high school freshmen
STAMFORD -- It began as a result of a whimsical sophomore English class exhortation to change the world.
At that point, freshman Thalita Teixeira's world had been turned upside at Stamford High School. She experimented with drugs, drank alcohol, cut class.
So Teixeira, then 15, decided to offer other freshmen students an alternative -- a world where they were prepared for the choices they'd most likely be faced with in high school.
So two years ago, she and her best friend, Lia Markala, founded a group called Heads Up. Sponsored by the school-based health center of the Family Center, the group is part peer counseling, part venting, part listening and part hanging out for high school students.
They talk about drugs, sex, parents, classes, friends -- whatever is on their minds.
"People were shy at first," Teixeira, 17, said. "But kids open up, they cry, they give advice."
Group members sprawled out in a loose circle on a stage in a small auditorium last week. Sometimes the cordial back-and-forth devolved into several voices clamoring to speak; sometimes there were moments of silence, and sometimes, contagious laughter.
They talked about how to impress a girl, waking up after a drinking blackout, teen pregnancy and parents' attempts to talk to their teens about drinking.
A 14-year-old freshman, who asked that his name not be used, joined the group for the first time. He tentatively looked in the room only to be greeted warmly by senior Kasheem Bens, 18.
"Are you new? Come on, sit right here," Bens said, patting a spot next to him. The freshman smiled, joined the group and shook hands with Bens.
He didn't speak much throughout the session, responding briefly to a query as to how he had heard about Heads Up, but his eyes followed the speakers intently. Near the end, he stood up, got a chair and placed it in the circle next to Bens. Asked if he'd come back, the freshman nodded.
Teixeira said the groups started out as mostly girls -- which makes sense, she explained, because a lot of female identity freshman year is connected to relationships with guys, and girls are more willing to talk about it.
Erick Gonzalez, a senior, quickly got involved and brought some male students to explain, "not all guys are like that," he said.
Gonzalez said Heads Up wasn't a hard sell -- he asked they try one session before judging the group.
"It's not about being in the cool crowd, or going to every party or being with your gang, your crew, your clique," he said.
It works because it's students talking to students, Teixeira added.
"Me, Lia and Erick make up everything a teen could go through," she said, laughing. "They listen to us because we know what they're going through."
Emily Segal, a social worker at the school-based health center, oversees the group and tries to field any questions the students can't.
"A lot of times, adults come at it as, `I have to teach them, I have to warn them,'" Segal said. "These kids know each other, they know what's going on and they don't easily trust grown-ups."
With Segal's help, two years after Heads Up began, the group is more organized, more "out there," Teixeira said.
Anywhere from 10 to 30 people show up for weekly meetings, she said.
"I want to see how big it can get," Gonzalez added. "I want to come back [after graduation] and be a speaker."
Now, Teixeira said, juniors at Westhill High and Greenwich High have expressed interest in starting similar groups at their schools.
At Stamford, high school is a slightly different place for underclassmen, Teixeira said.
"One kid came up to me and said, `I wish I had known about this earlier. I'm not alone,'" she said.

Now I just want to say, I really enjoyed Obduction. It is indeed a good game. But there are a few flaws that I would like to admit to, and I'm curious if you guys would share that opinion, or have any flaws you'd like to note.
Probably the biggest flaw in my eyes is C.W. himself. He is right there, talking to you, and knows everything about the place. Why does he have to be so vague about how to do anything? Sure I admit, he has his own things to do, and if he held your hand there would be less of a game, but surely he could tell you SOMETHING such as where everyone went. Not to mention there's plenty of critical information that you could give him. Are we to assume that the player character is completely mute again, like in the Myst games?
Second, while I personally didn't hate it, I know many others have expressed annoyance at "The Gauntlet". Most specifically "The Puzzle". Anyone who's played the game knows which one it is, and I won't elaborate further beyond the drudgery for it.
Third, I can't go into it much but.... let's just say "Purple, smoky, and short". I think that's the most I can say without getting spoilery. Probably more affected by budget and time than anything else, but it was a bit of a disappointment.
Were there any other flaws that anyone noticed that they felt detracted from making this game perfect?

Pixiwoo's Sam and the Scummy Mummies coming to Norwich
PUBLISHED: 09:05 20 September 2018 | UPDATED: 09:10 20 September 2018
© Emily Gray Photography 2017
From scummy mummies to beauty bloggers – it's me-time for mums in Norfolk and Suffolk
The Scummy Mummies, Pixiwoo beauty blogger Sam Chapman, and a chance to reboot your wardrobe are all part of an autumn line-up of events aimed at East Anglian parents.
A year ago Norwich mum and businesswoman Emma Victor-Smith launched We Got This (Sometimes!) Frustrated that she couldn't get to fun events happening in London, she decided to bring them to Norfolk.
Since then social media parenting superstars including Mother Pukka, Father of Daughters, and The Unmumsy Mum and Man vs Baby have entertained audiences.
Emma, whose daughter has just started school, said: "Becoming a parent has forced me to evaluate what I want from my working life, and I'm not alone in that. I don't think there is enough honesty about how difficult it can be as a working parent, so these events reassure people.
"I can't quite believe Sali Hughes and Pixiwoo Sam are coming myself, and have started to investigate beauty a bit more as some me-time, having been run ragged all summer."
The autumn line-up is:
Fashion Re:Boot on Friday, September 28 at the Narthex, Norwich Roman Catholic Cathedral,.
This was a hugely popular event last year for people who love fashion, style and buying pre-loved items. It's a chance for a clear-out and a bargain-hunt with stalls full of vintage, high street and designer clothes, "Founders Ciara Elliott and Erica Davies (stylists, editors, bloggers) mean the quality of items for sale will be incredible – not your normal car boot!" said Emma.
Beauty writer Sali Hughes will be in conversation with Sam Chapman, make-up artist and one half of bloggers Pixiwoo on Tuesday October 23 at Jarrold, Norwich.
The Christmas Scummy Mummies Show on Thursday, November 29 at The Norwich Playhouse. Scummy Mummies Helen and Ellie return to Norwich with some Christmas themed comedy including sketches, stand-up and some scummy Santa stories.
And in Suffolk, mum of two Melanie Duffield has set up Mums Like Me. Her next event is an evening with a facial, fizz and canapés at the Heritage Beauty and Wellbeing Spa at Nowton, Bury St Edmunds, on Thursday, November 8. Melanie, of Red Lodge, said she wanted to create events for mums to make lasting friendships.

Skyline has two sections, separated for privacy. The two sections are always rented together, to only one group at a time. The main section feature a large, bright and airy great room with a cathedral ceiling and extensive Caribbean views. The modern, fully equipped kitchen is open to the great room and shares the ocean views. The great room opens onto a vast 1200-square-foot deck overlooking the sea that runs the full length of the house. Part of the deck is open for sunning, part is roofed for shade. The deck is equipped with a charcoal grill and an outdoor dining area with Caribbean and sunset views.
The main quarters of Skyline house also includes an ocean-view master bedroom suite with king bed and full bath, an ocean-view artist's studio with lounge area, a large garden-view den/TV room, and a powder room. The guest quarters has a work-out room equipped with bar bells, elastic straps, forearm machine, ab glider, and hand grips, as well as a sink and small refrigerator. The guest quarters features a full bath. There is also an outdoor shower located in a private area of the deck, accessible to both the main and guest quarters. (The main quarters and guest quarters are connected by the large deck.)
Skyline House has up to five sleeping rooms. In addition to the main quarters master suite, the guest section of the house features two more bedrooms—a garden-view king bedroom, and a garden-view queen bedroom. The guest section also features an ocean-view sitting room with twin beds. The work-out room can serve as a fifth sleeping room when needed for larger groups.
Skyline House is set in a large garden surrounded by a stone wall, providing plenty of outdoor space for guests and play area for children.
Skyline House is fully air conditioned. Amenities include high-speed internet with WIFI, satellite TV, DVD player, ipod dock, CD player, landline telephone, washer/dryer, and ceiling fans. The house also features a backup generator for power outages.
Skyline House is located a three-minute walk from the Caribbean Sea. A ten-minute walk (or one-minute drive) in the opposite direction takes you to Hut Point beach, a spectacular, half-mile-long, pink-sand beach that is usually deserted. A barrier reef offshore keeps the surf mild, making this beach, with its perfect sandy bottom, ideal for swimming . A tiki hut on the beach provides shade when it's time to get out of the sun.
Just 200 feet from the beach is Skyline House's large ocean-view pool, which is shared with ten other houses. You will usually have the pool to yourself.
If you enjoy fine dining and nightlife, you won't have to go far. A short walk down Hut Point beach will take you to the boutique luxury resort Sky Beach Club with its excellent restaurant and beachside infinity pool with swim-up cocktail bar. Sky Beach Club has poolside service—meals and drinks--all day long. A five-minute drive will take you Cocodimama's fine beachside restaurant featuring authentic Italian cuisine. A ten minute drive will take to famous Tippy's restaurant and The Beach House tapas restaurant. Several other restaurants are within a 15 minute drive. Most feature live music one or two nights a week.
The town of Governors Harbour, ten minutes away by car, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.
The island of Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is completely safe any time of the day or night. Enjoy the rare experience of picking up hitch-hikers and leaving your keys in the car wherever you go. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore. We hope you will enjoy Skyline House, and experience all our island has to offer.

Investment Thesis
Nvidia: Surprising Reaction To Q2 Earnings: Nvidia's (NVDA) Q2 2019 results, as one would expect, beat expectations on the top line and bottom line. Yet, the stock sold off nearly 5% after-hours Thursday and early Friday. One should at least consider the fact that Nvidia's outstanding performance is more than accounted at its present valuation.
Q2 2019 Results
Once again, Nvidia delivers impressive results, with record revenue from all platforms. On the top line, it was up 40% to $3.12 billion and on the bottom line, its non-GAAP diluted EPS nearly doubled, with 92% YoY growth. Undisputable tremendous results, as Nvidia continues to be disciplined with its cost structure allowing it to positively benefit from strong operating leverage.
Having said that, sequentially, Nvidia's performance was a touch less impressive, with its top line falling 3% sequentially. Also, Nvidia failed to match the tight level of spending in the previous quarter, making Nvidia's operating leverage was not as strong, and forcing its non-GAAP diluted number to fall by 5% Q/Q.
Now onto the forward guide, Nvidia's top line is expected to increase sequentially by 4%. Yet in Q3 2019, investors should note that the phenomenally lean structure seen in Q2 2019 should to a small extent reverse, with its gross margin coming down from 63.5% seen this quarter to 62.8% in Q3 2019. Further, while Nvidia's operating expenses margin will keep steady going into Q3 2019 at roughly 22%, its tax rate will increase. In Q2 2019 GAAP tax was approximately 2.5%. Going forward into Q3 2019, Nvidia's GAAP tax is expected to jump to approximately 9%.
The Big Takeaway
Nvidia's gaming segment continues to see phenomenal demand and was up 52% YoY to $1.8 billion. CFO Kress attributed its strong performance to Nvidia's Max-Q technology being packed into slim notebooks.
Thus, while gaming remains by far Nvidia's biggest segment, it was its data center segment which was particularly phenomenal with 83% year-on-year growth and now accounts for nearly a quarter of Nvidia's total revenue, up from approximately 19% of total revenue in the same period a year ago. Whilst demand in datacenter continues to expand at a large clip, it is nevertheless impressive just how much Nvidia continues to grow and arguably outpacing this sector's growth. Kress discussed on the earnings call, how the demand amongst hyper-scale customers looking to increasingly leverage AI through Nvidia's computing platform, continues to provide strong tailwinds to Nvidia.

Trinidad and Tobago coach Stephen Hart is pleased with his team's performance at the recently-concluded OSN Cup in Saudi Arabia, but insisted that despite their third place finish, T&T still have a lot of work to do.
Under new coach Hart, the "Soca Warriors" reached the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup for the first time since 2000, and also finished third at the OSN Cup behind the United Arab Emirates, who beat New Zealand 2-0 in Monday's final in Saudi Arabia.
The OSN tournament's opening game saw the Soca Warriors rally from three goals down to draw 3-3 with 2013 Gulf Cup Champions UAE, before losing 7-6 on penalty kicks. T&T then beat Saudi Arabia 3-1 for third spot
The "Soca Warriors" returned from Saudi Arabia on Thursday night.
Speaking about his team's recent performances, Hart said: "We went into the first game with some difficulty and we expected some difficulty but the players responded very well. They started well, had a difficult middle period and ended well so considering the circumstances, the players responded well and I am pleased with the results."
The coach is also willing to give other players a chance as they try to build a strong team.
He said he would like to "give some players some experience and see what happens."
"From my stand point I am still looking at players to fit in and create competition in the squad. We focused a bit more on the attacking side of the game but we have to work on certain elements. We already spoke to the players and there is a lot of work to do.
"I think the players have made sacrifices and put themselves out there and I think they deserve a bit of love from everybody. They really worked hard, above and beyond in some instances," he added.
One player given a shot on the trip was Kevin Molino who believes it was encouraged by T&T's performances.
"It was a great experience to catch up with the players. It was a great tournament in Saudi Arabia and we did well. We lost on penalty kicks but we finished in third place, which is a good experience and I just want to continue doing what I do and enjoy my football and keep scoring for my country and I think all in all it was a great tournament for us.
"Most important I think is the depth we have in the team. There are positives coming out of the Gold Cup and the tournament in Saudi Arabia and we are just delighted to come third and just looking forward to all the international friendly matches coming up," Molino added.

Natalie Portman took on the role of scientist Jane Foster in 2011's Thor and the 2013 sequel Thor: Dark World. But, Foster was absent for the third installment, 2017's Thor: Ragnorak.
Fans thought that was the end of her run, with Portman making a polite exit from the Marvel Universe. But, nope! That's not the case at all. She's not only signed on for 2021's Thor: Love and Thunder, but it is a doozy of a role.
Writer-director Taika Waititi announced at this year's San Diego Comic-Con (July 21) that Portman will return as Foster and we will see her transform into Mighty Thor. The plot is pulled from the 2014 comic-book storyline, where Foster is able to pick up Thor's hammer, called Mjölnir, earning her the title of Goddess of Thunder.
Portman made it official with an Instagram photo and cheeky statement saying this is the "before" picture as she still needs to train to get jacked up:
We can also look for Chris Hemsworth to reprise his role as Thor. He seems okay with sharing the spotlight and hammer, when asked about the casting in the below clip:
Chris Hemsworth is all about Natalie Portman's upcoming female Thor role #OnceUponATimeInHollywood https://t.co/MbP7v1On9n pic.twitter.com/ZLwBsBaYIx

ICYMI, here's a peek at the Goddess of Thunder in all her glory:
Consider me thunderously excited. The Jane Foster Thor storyline I did with @rdauterman, (Eisner winner!) @COLORnMATT & so many more talented artists is one of my proudest moments in comics. I can't wait to see @TaikaWaititi & Natalie Portman bring the Goddess of Thunder to life. pic.twitter.com/3pylwsfR9e
— Jason Aaron (@jasonaaron) July 21, 2019
As of now, the only three actors cast for Love and Thunder are Portman, Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie.

We Don't Have What It Takes to Care for Our Parents Guest Post
Have you ever met someone and instantly knew you were kindred spirits? It happened to me the second I met this girl. A former "cultural Christian," Bible teacher Kathy Howard now lives an unshakeable faith for life and encourages other women to embrace real, authentic faith. Kathy is the author of 8 books, including "30 Days of Hope When Caring for Aging Parents". You'll find spiritual encouragement and free discipleship help on her website. Welcome, Kathy, to my home.
When my husband and I were young parents, our church friends had an ongoing joke that reflected the challenge of raising little humans. We designated that carefree time of life before the arrival of the first offspring as "BC" – before children. Before children we enjoyed spontaneous outings, a little extra spending money, and a good night's sleep.
But after the children's arrival, everything changed. Grocery store trips required hours of preparation. Paychecks often ran out before the next payday. And we regularly navigated our days in a sleep-deprived state.
Caring for little ones was tough. Then they grew to be teenagers and parenting stretched us to new lengths. Now, with our children grown, we can look back and clearly see how God sustained us with His grace through every stage of parenting.
Then we totally skipped the empty-nest stage. The summer our last child left for college, my 80-year-old father-in-law arrived. One young birdie flew out and one old birdie flew in.
Granted, Pappaw only needed a little assistance during the first years he spent with us. Then his health began to decline and he experienced one major problem after another. As doctors, medication, lengthy hospital stays, surgeries, and rehab dominated his life, he needed us more and more.
For a season, I was helping both my husband with his father and making regular trips to care for my own parents. I desperately wanted to do it all right, but the responsibilities felt heavy, draining.
I quickly realized I don't have what it takes. I'm ill-equipped to make good decisions for my parents. I lack the spiritual strength to love and care for them unconditionally. One minute I want to hug them and tell them everything will be alright and the next I want to force them to "listen to reason."
Many of you are there now – overwhelmed with the needs of your parents. With the responsibility of caring for them. Like me, you don't have what it takes to do it well.
But I know Someone who has everything we need and more. Caring for aging and ill parents challenges us daily and can stretch us to the breaking point. But, by His power and grace, God will give us everything we need to care for them and live a life that pleases God "through our knowledge of Him who called us" (2 Peter 1:3).
As we abide in Jesus, God's powerful provision flows through this life-giving connection. The power is Christ in us, working through us to minister to our parents. Caring for our parents is a joint venture with God. As we step out in obedience, God provides the power to fuel our efforts. God doesn't promise the task will be easy. But He does promise our efforts make a difference.
Today, let's take a deep breath and settle into the amazing truth that our powerful God will provide everything we need for this journey. Let us draw close to Jesus and hold tight.
What can you do each day to purposefully stay connected to Jesus? How will abiding in Jesus strengthen you for your God-given task?
30 Days of Hope When Caring for Aging Parents
Struggling to navigate the parent/child role reversal? Kathy Howard's new book, 30 Days of Hope When Caring for Aging Parents, explores God's Word to find hope and encouragement for the wide range of physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges the adult child caregiver may experience. Each of the 30 devotions – which can also serve as a guide for a daily quiet time – includes a Scripture passage, a real-life illustration, biblical commentary/application, and questions for reflection.

Convert Text to Polylines Issue
Nick London posted a question in TroubleshootingHi there, having a strange issue when trying to extrude text. I've always converted to poly line then extruded with no issue but now it's stopped working and creates unusable shapes. When zooming in on some letters it's a really jagged line and even simple square letters do not convert to anything usable. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Nick
Thanks, the spec is for the 2018 version on my newer iMac..hoping there's a solution! Maybe the upgrade to Mojave has done something as it's recently that I've both upgraded and had this issue.
Hi there, I've had a bit of an odd issue start and hoping someone may know how to solve it. When more than one file is open in Vectorworks, I'm unable to move an object snapping to an angle, so I can't move an object horizontally whilst snapping to the horizon for example. It's the same when drawing line, it's unable to snap to any angle, so impossible to draw lines as intended and obviously when trying to draw accurately it's not possible to use. All the snap selections are selected as usual and I've not changed any settings. When one file is open that will work fine, but a second file (even a new file) it doesn't work. If any object, even a simple square is copied from the second file into the first then the first file also has the same issue until that object is deleted and the second file closed. Sometimes but not always I've noticed when bringing the issue into the first main file, if hovering over an unselected larger polygon, the orange selection colour (around the outside of the shape) flickers like crazy when you move the mouse over the top of it. Whereas normally it just goes orange when the mouse it hovered over the top. TO ADD: when line tool is selected and trying to enter a line at 45 degrees at 1000mm long, when this is typed in, it will just create a line based on where the mouse point is rather than to any of the dimensions entered. And if trying to create a square and entering the specific dimensions, it will simply create the square based on where the mouse is on screen. It's definitely not related to one specific file, but seems to just happen now as soon as more than one file is open. I work on plans in one file then model up in a separate file which means it's impossible to move objects accurately at the moment so I can't work properly. Any help would be massively appreciated! Thanks. (This is on an iMac 21.5 Inch Retina/ 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5/ 8GB RAM running MacOS Mojave)
Blank White Render Issue
Nick London posted a topic in RenderingHi all I seem to have a reoccurring issue when rendering fast RW / FQRW that it just shows as white and completes after 1 second - If I switch to Open GL or wireframe etc it show the view fine but I have to restart if I want to render properly. It usually happens after I've made a few changes to the drawing which made me wonder it was a memory/speed issue, when restarting the programme it seems to work fine again until some sort of 'event' then I need to restart again. It's a 92MB file of a shop interior so has rails and furniture but nothing hugely complicated. Another similar issue is I often find the cache saves the view when rendering even when adding in objects or making changes - again, restarting always solves this. I find I need to restart about once every 10 minutes which feels really often. I'm on a one week old new iMac, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 / 8GB 2400Mhz RAM / Radeon Pro 560 4096MB that I bought specifically to use Vectorworks 2017 on so I was hoping I wouldn't have issues with rendering or memory, there is very little open or even installed on this new computer. It has a fusion drive (combination SSD) which was supposed to help speed up using programmes. Do you think this is a Vectorworks issue or a computer/memory issue? Does the computer specification above seem OK to everyone? Some of the models are things I've drawn and a few downloaded from 3D libraries, so I'm not sure if something over complicated is taking up valuable memory. I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions, Thanks, Nick
Thanks for the help guys. And Luis, I need to learn your vectorworks tricks! Those views are way better than what I can achieve... I'm only really starting out using render works so hoping to do some tutorials, my modelling and lighting understanding is pretty basic but will look into your descriptions of what you did to my model and see what I can pick up... Thanks again, Nick
Kevin thanks a lot for that. The coat hanger was actually from an imported DWG, I didn't even think something so small would be slowing it down! I've amended it to something much simpler now and it renders fine, I'm on a 2015 laptop and I've definitely found 2017 a bit slower than my VW 2014 copy. I don't suppose there's a function that identifies overly complex objects within models? Or areas that are especially slowing down renders..? Anyway, thanks again and the FQRW feed is really helpful too! Nick
Hi Selin Thanks so much, see attached file. When I do a FQRW it's just black now, but it looks fine in all other views so I can't see what's causing it. Would be great if you can see what the issue might be, Thanks Nick Store_concept_drawing.vwx
Black marks in renders - Vectorworks 2017
Nick London posted a topic in RenderingHi there, I'm struggling moving over to Vectoworks 2017 rendering. See screen shots attached. I constantly have the issue of black smears and marks appearing in or dominating my final quality renders. They are not visible in any other views or in the drawing. You can see the screenshots attached of the same view in open GL, fast render works and final quality renderworks. I'm on a trial of the software wondering if I should upgrade from 2014 and so far not confident if the cost is worth it. If anyone can shed any light on what this might be that would be really helpful, thank you, Nick
Align/Distribute Function not reacting
Nick London posted a topic in General DiscussionHi there, I needed to post as my favourite function, the Align/Distribute function (command = shortcut or also found under Modify > Align menu) just seems to have stopped working for the past month or so. I'm having no other vectorworks issues, the software's working fine. I used to use the shortcut all the time but now I get no reaction when pressing the shortcut or going and selecting the option from the menu, no errors or other messages at all. I find it so useful when aligning groups or objects or distributing items evenly into a space so I'm finding it really confusing why it's just stopped working. I'm using Vectorworks 2014, any help appreciated! Thanks Nick

Talk about a cheap shot!
During the men's basketball Olympic quarterfinal on Wednesday, French player Nicolas Batum punched Spain's Juan Carlos Navarro in the groin. With 23 seconds left in the game, and France losing, they needed to foul in order to regain the ball. Batum hit Navarro where it hurts, nearly inciting a brawl between the two teams, but was not ejected from the game.
VIDEO: Watch the worst Olympic dive ever
The foul came just seconds after France's Ronny Turiaf had knocked Spain's Rudy Fernandez out of bounds. Despite Batum's efforts, Spain went on to win the game 66-59. Spain will face Russia in the semifinals, with the winner of that game moving on for a shot at the gold medal on Sunday.
Check out the video of the sucker punch heard 'round the world here.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., May 22, 2019
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa today announced the June 29 opening for Moneyline Bar & Book and Level One Cocktail Bar & Lounge. Adding more than $12 million in development to the casino-resort, the debut reinforces Borgata's position as the market's leading destination for sports and entertainment.
Designed by Nelson Worldwide with the sports enthusiast in-mind, guests are welcomed into Moneyline Bar & Book by a 40-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall LED video wall with 17 additional 98-inch and 86-inch displays surrounding the 8,000-square-foot venue. A 35-foot-long bar with 19 built-in slot machines centers Moneyline under a distinctive light feature inspired by a coach's playbook. Guests can grab a seat at the bar in a flex-back gaming stool or choose one of several high-top tables with device-charging capabilities, plush U-shaped booths, or elevate their experience with banquette seating in the VIP lounge. In addition to six betting windows, guests may place their bet at one of Moneyline's interactive sports betting kiosks.
More than a sports book, Moneyline will serve as Borgata's newest destination bar complete with a dining program by Executive Chef Tom Biglan featuring mouth-watering items like Braised-Sirloin Chili, Giant Bavarian Pretzel with Stone Ground Mustard, Fried Fish Tacos, and the signature Moneyline Burger. The menu will be complemented by a 24-tap craft beer list, nightly entertainment and signature programming that offers something for everyone.
"Since Borgata arrived in the market more than 15 years ago, we have maintained a steadfast dedication to property growth and development, and we believe our new concepts confirm our position," said Marcus Glover, President & Chief Operating Officer for Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. "When conceiving Moneyline and Level One we knew we wanted to provide our guests with an experience that was more than a transactional venue for sports wagering. We felt Borgata's guests deserved something that would advance the market by bringing together sports, culinary, entertainment, gaming, and nightlife into a destination experience they can enjoy seven nights a week."
The all new Level One Cocktail Bar & Lounge joins Borgata Nightlife's roster as an intimate venue for high-end gaming, curated entertainment, and innovative cocktails. Connected to Moneyline through an escalated corridor, Level One's design features a pop of Peacock greens, copper, and cork-inspired wallcoverings. Featuring glass link chandeliers over four blackjack tables, the 3,600-square-foot venue will offer customizable seating with lounge chairs, sofas, and ottomans for private groups. The place to see and be seen before and after a night out in Atlantic City, Level One will showcase a one-of-a-kind cocktail menu by master mixologist Craig Schoettler.
Just steps away from Premier Nightclub, Level One will reignite Borgata's nightlife brand presenting a space for experiential cocktail programming and table service packages with live music and DJ entertainment scheduled throughout the week. On game nights, the lounge will offer guests a more exclusive viewing experience to the nearby Moneyline, with the added ability to play blackjack as they take in the event.
Borgata made history last June when it became the first Atlantic City casino to accept a legal sports wager under new sports betting regulations in New Jersey. Since accepting that inaugural bet, Borgata launched the BorgataSports.com website and mobile sports-betting app. In partnership with GVC Holdings, BorgataSports.com features a full range of U.S. and selected international sports with customers able to sign-up, deposit and withdraw cash directly from their mobile devices from any location in New Jersey. As part of the MGM Resorts International portfolio, Borgata brings the wealth of the company's sports book experience to its operation. MGM Resorts has more than 25 years of sports wagering operations experience in Nevada, where the company's resorts combine to write more than 4 million sports wagers each year with annual handle in excess of $1 billion.
Located in Atlantic City's Marina District, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa features 2,000 guest rooms and suites; 106,000 square feet of event space; 161,000 square feet of gaming; 187 table games; 2,825 slot machines; a 75+ table poker room; a race and sports book; 11 retail boutiques; 5 acclaimed fine dining restaurants by renowned chefs; 10 casual dining options; a 54,000 square foot spa; 20,000 square foot indoor/outdoor pool and garden; 32,000 square foot outdoor pool; 4 signature nightlife experiences; and parking for 7,100 cars.

Tourette syndrome may get a higher profile in Congress now that a congressional caucus has been formed to highlight the condition.
The Congressional Caucus on Tourette Syndrome was formed by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.). Caucuses – and there are hundreds – are established as sorts of internal lobbying organizations by members of the House.
"The bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Tourette Syndrome is long overdue and will increase awareness on this often misunderstood neurological disorder and promote legislation to help those who are suffering from it," Rep. Cohen said in a statement.
Rep. King, who noted that he was a recipient of the Tourette Syndrome Association's 2013 Public Policy Award, said in the same statement, "I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Congressional Caucus on Tourette Syndrome to recognize, educate and address the needs of the children and adults that endure the stigma, isolation and psychological impact of this disorder."
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Tourette syndrome, named for the French neurologist who first described it in 1885, is a neurologic disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations. These are popularly called tics.
The Tourette Syndrome Association says that it is often misdiagnosed and inadequately treated, and estimates that 200,000 Americans have the condition. TSA President Judit Ungar said in a statement that the new caucus should be helpful, noting that "congressional support has proven to be instrumental in accelerating progress in other disorders, such as cancer, autism, and Parkinson's disease."
The goals of the caucus include increasing knowledge and awareness of Tourette syndrome and its impact on patients and educating members of Congress on current and future research for Tourette syndrome and also about related disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Currently, additional caucus members include Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), Joseph Pitts (R-Pa.), Albio Sires (D-N.J.), Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.), John Yarmouth (D-Ky.), and Bill Young (R-Fla.).

IELTS Essay 1171 - Allowing children to make their own choices
- Details
- Last Updated: Thursday, 31 August 2017 12:34
- Written by IELTS Mentor
- Hits: 89437
IELTS Writing Task 2/ IELTS Essay:
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic.
Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Sample Answer:
How much freedom children should be given on everyday matters is controversial. People who are against allowing boundless liberty to children believe allowing too much freedom would create selfish individuals in our society while others think it is necessary to nurture creativity and to create self-reliant individuals. I personally believe that parents should neither give absolute immunity to their children nor they should restrain them in every matter - there must be a balance.
On the one hand, permitting children to do whatever they want and letting them chose everything they like on a daily basis would convince youngsters that they can do whatever they like. This is detrimental to the growth of children and those children would become selfish and self-centered when they grow up. Scientific research reveals that someone's childhood experience has a permanent effect on his personality and thinking pattern. This is why parents should make important decisions for their offspring and deter them from doing things that are harmful to their psychological and physical growth.
On the other hand, psychologists express that if parents do not allow their children to pick certain things on their own and restrict them on everything, the children would become fragile-minded and lack confidence. If children cannot choose things they like and do not have any freedom of choice, would end up being less creative than those who were given freedom to make their own decisions.
To conclude, our society needs more creative and selfless people and that is why we should allow a certain freedom to our child but there should be a boundary of this liberty.

I used to play a lot, back in Italy. We would come out from work, go to the beach, play two or three hours, swim a bit and then go out for the night. This would happen about every day. We took it awfully seriously. We would go to the Italian national championships and all. It was quite a big deal.
Seattle, on the other hand, is not too conductive to beach volley. Not too many real beaches and all of them quite far (commute wise) from where I live. So I don't play anymore, but I still like the game. One weekend or two each year, my wife and I go down to Los Angeles to watch AVP tournaments. And man, it is a lot of fun!!
And, by the way, beach volley has a lot going for it. For the players it is a low impact sport (the sand is soft). Plus you play the ball a lot, much more than in normal volleyball (or even soccer). Your are always in to the game, no place for hiding. It happens under the sun, so you don't get all the nasty problem of not warming up correctly. And the environment oh man!! You are on the beach, not in some crazy smelling gym somewhere. All in all, you got to love it.
Anyway, down memory lane

How to write a brilliant Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) strategy
29 November 2018
At Research England, we have just come to the end of an exercise to assess, in some detail, Higher Education Institutions' (HEIs) GCRF strategies.
The Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) is a £1.5bn fund announced by the UK Government in late 2015 to support cutting-edge research that addresses the challenges faced by developing countries. The fund is part of the UK's Official Development Assistance (ODA) commitment. The Government has allocated £58m from this fund to Research England to distribute to English universities who receive Quality-related Research (QR) funding in the 2018-19 academic year.
To be able to access this £58m-fund, HEIs had to submit strategies to Research England by the end of March 2018. Strategies have to comply with strict ODA rules, and describe what institutions plan to do with GCRF funding over the course of three years. All 122 institutions who get QR funding from Research England are eligible for GCRF funding, but not all institutions submitted strategies, because their focus might not be on GCRF work.
A total of 107 institutions from across the country sent in strategies earlier this year. While all of the strategies are good and comply with ODA rules, ten institutions submitted what we consider to be exemplary strategies, which show that these institutions have engaged fully with the aims of GCRF funding, and have gone further than meeting the basic requirements.
So, we wanted to share why we thought the ten institutions' strategies are so good, so other HEIs can emulate the best-performing institutions.
To recap, all universities' GCRF strategies should:
- Comply with ODA rules – they embrace both the spirit and letter of ODA compliance
- Harness their institutions' research strengths to pursue innovative research projects that directly address global challenges
- Embed development-related research into their wider institutional strategies
- Demonstrate clear pathways to impact in development countries
More specifically, this is what the ten individual institutions did very well:
Falmouth University's strategy had a clear focus on one country, demonstrating how smaller allocations can be used effectively. GCRF activities are clearly mapped to specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and activities align with the university's current research connections in South Africa.
The Institute of Cancer Research targets specific collaborative projects that are directly relevant and compatible with the intentions and eligibility requirements of the GCRF.
King's College London's strategy demonstrates how large allocations can be used strategically and effectively through meeting full economic costs as well as through capacity building activities.
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's strategy shows clear evidence of a desire to build and support capacity in local communities and institutions in developing countries, as well as a focus on relevant and timely engagement with current and critical development issues.
The Royal College of Music's strategy demonstrates that small allocations can be used effectively and strategically by specialist institutions, and it focuses on co-development and the enhancement of existing collaborations with developing countries.
The strategy Royal Holloway, University of London submitted clearly identified how they will strengthen their own practices to deliver GCRF impact, integrating GCRF activity into their long-term research priorities. It also clearly placed developing countries as the prime beneficiaries of their activity.
The University of Bristol's strategy develops clear criteria to ensure that each activity undertaken aligns with GCRF principles, has imaginative ways in which they will create long-term capacity and capability, and clearly demonstrates the benefits to developing countries.
The University of Exeter's overall GCRF strategy was very clear, especially the detail they provided on illustrative research awards that will be eligible to receive GCRF to meet full economic costs, demonstrating that detail and specific information can be provided prospectively.
At the University of Leicester, they have clearly placed developing countries as the prime beneficiaries of their activities, have clear priorities in the case of funding increases or decreases, and have developed a theory of change to evaluate impact.
The University of Lincoln's strategy has a clear link to their overall institutional strategy and is clear and concise in identifying specific activities that will be undertaken and the developing countries that they will benefit.
It's clear that the different approaches the ten HEIs have taken show that there is not one failsafe way to do GCRF or ODA research correctly, but that institutions should play to their own strengths, at the same time as adopting some general principles of best practice.
We have published all 107 strategies on our website, highlighting the ten commended strategies so the HE sector can see in detail what an outstanding GCRF strategy looks like.
We are now busy allocating GCRF to all 107 HEIs that submitted strategies for academic year 2018-19.

Well, folks here we have it… the last week of the school year. This time next week Tom will have finished Year 5 and will be heading into Year 6 come September. I still can't think where this year has gone. I know I say this pretty much every week, but this year is flying by so quickly… I would very much like it if it would slow down… just a tad.
Anywho, here are my 7 images for 7 days… happy snapping.
168/365 – Tuesday – I forgot to take my earphones out of my work fleece before putting it into the wash. Needless to say, they didn't survive. So I HAD to get myself a new pair. I saw these reduced to clear in Tescos for £13 so I thought I would give them a go… was a nice wee surprise when I got to the till and they were reduced further to £8. Score!!
169/365 – Wednesday – I love this time of the year. There are so many flowers about making everything look really pretty.
170/365 – Thursday – Just a random photo of our cat Ger. She loves sleeping with her head buried underneath her paw.
171/365 – Friday – Tom had his school fair tonight. He really wanted to go but with me still not feeling the best he went with his Granny V. He arrived home with these. They had been won on the tombola stand by his Great Aunt and she didn't want them so we very kindly said we would take them off her hands.
172/365 – Saturday – My OH has decided that when Tom gets off school for the summer that he is going to take the week and go cycling and camping. So he has been running around trying to get everything sorted. He had bought himself a small gas stove from the local camping store but they, unfortunately, didn't have any of the gas. I managed to find some in the local Sports Direct.
173/365 – Sunday – I had been really fed up not being able to get onto the laptop and I had it in my head about getting a tablet for a while so I took the plunge. I will be paying it off with PayPal and as long as I can get it paid in 4 months I won't have to pay any interest. I'm hoping that I will have enough money from my wages next month just to pay it straight out. It now means that I've got no excuse for updating my blog on time.
174/365 – Monday – Out for a wee walk to Tesco's instead of taking the car. Decided to walk down by the river instead of taking my normal route.
Anyway, friends, thanks for reading, hope you liked what you read and if you did please make sure to like, share, comment and if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to gimme a shout! J x

Last week the HootBoard team packed up our blue t-shirts, our stacks of flyers, our branded pens, and a boatload of candy and headed out to St. Louis to take part in the annual Destinations International conference. Each year DI brings together destination marketing organizations from around the country (and even a few international visitors!) to take part in continuing education courses and discuss the latest trend. This was our first year at Destinations International but we excited by how much the conference had to offer and how much we were able to learn from our destination marketing allies.
As newcomers to the conference, we've pulled together some of our key takeaways and learnings to share:
53% of millenials plan numerous "micro trips" throughout the year instead of one big trip.
This means drive in markets are becoming increasingly more important in destination marketing. ? ? #pcma #ac19stlouis #cheerstotheweekend pic.twitter.com/XMNeaCgc0z
— Katie Dolan (@OttawaKD) July 24, 2019
Short Trips are Becoming More Popular
Many travelers are planning short trips throughout the year compared to the previous trends of doing one or two long trips each year. As Katie from Ottawa observed, this means drive-in markets are becoming increasingly more important from a marketing standpoint.
Our take: Short trips means less advanced planning. Travelers are booking a ticket and lodging and are good to go. All the destination activity planning is happening in-destination. This is a tremendous challenge and an opportunity for the right in-destination engagement experience.
Information Gathering is Still a Challenge for Visitors
Even though we live in a highly connected world and we're nearly always online through our mobile phones, visitors still struggle to find reputable information when they need it. As marketers, we've focused on getting visitors into our destinations but trends are changing and many visitors are planning trips on the fly once they arrive. This means fewer bookings are done at home and DMOs and local businesses are faced with a new challenge – how do you reach visitors when they're making an off the cuff decision to book their day's tours, attractions, or reservations? How do you make the most of a visitor's time when they are in-destination and make sure they're getting the most out of their visit? How do destinations ensure that the visitor will speak highly of the trip when they return home? These crucial questions are driving DMO decisions and spend but are a new challenge that we all face.
Overtourism is Real and Very Painful
@signexina gave this example of Trolltunga rock in Norway: in 2009 it had only 500 visitors but thanks to some amazing social media pictures, that number had grown to 40,000 by 2014. Overtourism is real and it's happening all over. In fact at the Destinations International, it was one of the main challenges discussed.
Our take: A Traveler's reliance on social media and the top things to do listicles could be feeding this. Listicles are a great way to get Google rankings and might be hard to take away from the DMO toolset but can this be augmented by UI nudges like the smart discovery of local attractions? Can digital in-destination discovery tools showcase a different picture and help people find attractions and activities in real-time?
@Signexina is calling for the end of tourism and a shift to #localhood. No one wants to be a tourist. Each traveler is unique and looking for an experience as explorers and adventurers. Helping them find new ways to enjoy destination is solution to #overtourism. #AC19StLouis pic.twitter.com/nliJEWIKnu
— JT Long (@SmartMtgsJT) July 24, 2019
The Travel Experience Should Be Local
More and more, visitors are looking for a local experience when they travel. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean they want to stay close to home but instead that they're looking to get off the beaten path. They will, of course, visit your destination's most famous tourist attraction but they're also looking for that hidden gem of a breakfast place or the next big thing when it comes to a boutique hotel. Today's travelers don't want a canned experience handed to them out of a package tour, they'd rather experience the best-kept secrets that your region has to offer so they can feel like they found something special.
Our take: Getting off the beaten path path, driving #localhood and making tourists feel like #temporarylocals is much easier said than done. Destinations are asking how do we bring visitors into the fold without overhyping our best-kept secrets? How do we create custom experiences for each traveler while still driving foot traffic to our already bonafide attractions? Can you provide enough variety with printed materials?? Can you educate your visitor center staff often and on time? Or does in-destination digital information finding offer the right way to do this?
The Shift from Marketing to Managing
This need for information while in-destination and the focus on local experience are also driving a change for destination professionals and their partners. Where dollars used to be focused solely on driving visitors to the market, DMOs are now morphing into DMMOs with dollars and time being allocated to engaging visitors in-destination as well as in the pre-visit stage. Whether they've added actual team members or are asking for more from the current team, this was a common theme in nearly all of our conversations at Destinations International. Heads in beds isn't enough anymore – destinations want to ensure that each visitor is having the best experience they can while visiting.
Our take: Making the shit from just marketing to Marketing & Management is not easy. DMOs will not be able to invest enough money on their own to create attractions and spaces. They will face personnel challenges as well as operational challenges in keeping up with data gathering to identify and highlight the ever-changing "off the beaten" path experiences within their region.
DMOs, however, can exert influence. They can define what their unique destination experience means to their visitors. They can identify overtourism and other challenges and they can propose solutions, technologies, and partnerships to address these challenges.
Local Partnerships Matter Even More
The good news is that most DMOs understand that many hands make light work and are eager to bring on partners that will help address these challenges. Ultimately, we all have the same goal in mind – to help visitors make the most of their travels and their time in-destination. We all want to create experiences that surpass the expectations of visitors and keep them coming back for more. We want to create more stories that can be shared over coffee or drinks and drive more shared experiences between travelers. At its core, this is the vision that created HootBoard as a company and we were so thrilled to see it mirrored back to us in so many of our visitors last week. We love to help our customers share their stories and to help visitors find their way – and we love to help destinations build their ideal visitor experience.
Thank you to Destinations International and Explore St. Louis for hosting HootBoard and all of the fantastic DMOs last week and if you happened to stop by our booth – thank you for taking the time to say hello!
