I know this is old news and simple to fix, but recently I stumbled upon a new solution which also irons out some problems with the widely adopted original fix…
Chrome has trouble rendering true type fonts on Windows OS, in particular with the anti-aliasing. This can leave your typography looking blurry and jagged, like the text on the left below (rollover to zoom coming soon)
Left: Normal chrome rendering. Right: Chrome rendering with fix in place.
The options
Call the svg version of the font before the woff version, as chrome renders svg much better. There are a couple of ways you can go about doing this:
- Change your font stacking order to call the svg before the ttf and woff, for example:
@font-face { font-family: 'fontName'; src: url('font.eot'); src: url('font.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('font.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'), url('font.woff') format('woff'), url('font.ttf') format('truetype'); }
This will cause Safari to download the svg first and then the woff, plus the svg is usually a bit heftier in file size. So an extra http request for Safari, and probably a beefy one too.
I've seen people reporting spacing anomalies when serving the svg font to Chrome this way. I've not seen it myself but it's something to bear in mind if you are choosing to go this route.
- My preferred method use a media query to serve Chrome the svg:
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { @font-face { font-family: 'fontName'; src: url('font.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); } }
This ensures Chrome gets the svg and those spacing anomalies are eliminated.
None so far that I have found, apart from the extra code bloat but nothing to even think about, especially if you are minifying your code like the good coder you are.
Conclusion and gotchas
Serve Chrome the svg version of your font for typography utopia on windows devices.
Some things to watch out for:
- That
src: url('font.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');needs to match the ID of the font within the svg file as it can contain more than one font. Failure to do this will result in the browser not rendering the svg font.
To check, open the svg font in notepad++ or similar, look for
<font id="and make sure the ID in there matches the
#svgFontNamein your css. +1 to the guys at fontspring for this one.
- native browser elements like form controls don't render the svg font very well so for those you will have to revert to your backup web-safe font.
- While we're on the subject of native elements, they also don't pickup
-webkit-font-smoothingif you have specified it 'globally' in the
bodyelements. Again, you will just have to re-target those elements specifically i.e.
.button_primary { -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; }

If last year was marked by the slicked low knot, it seems that this summer is the season of the era-inspired topknot—that is, at least, if you ask Emily Ratajkowski. The model-turned-actress-turned-swimwear designer stepped out today in New York City to double down on a recently rocked style, lengths wound high on her head, with a set of center-separated lengths left loose to neatly frame her face.
Coupled with slim cat eye sunnies, a flawless complexion, and a pout pressed in a barely-there apricot, the updo was one which evoked all of the most enduring characteristics of the '90s: simple, cheeky, and carelessly cool. One glance at the moment brought to mind variations championed by young Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, or a fresh-on-the-scene Lindsay Lohan, but with an edge that felt more sophisticated than preteen. The decade-past vibes were offered an extra wash of modernity through EmRata's showing of skin and assemblage of delicate accessories. Between seaside breezes and rising temperatures, sweeping hair up is a hallmark of the most cavalier time of year—consider Ratajkowski's latest iteration of the time-honored topknot a welcome addition to your styling arsenal.

Last summer, Gallery1988 in L.A. held an Arrested Development-themed exhibit. It was fitting, since California is where the show is set. In December, the same gallery hosted a pop art tribute to director Judd Apatow–also fair, since the director tends to set his movies in the area as well. However, a Martin Scorsese exhibition in San Francisco is completely unacceptable. Perhaps that's why it's coming to New York City.
San Francisco-based Spoke Art gallery is bringing its exhibit Scorsese to New York for the weekend of April 19-21. Hosted by Bold Hype Gallery in Chelsea, the show features original artwork inspired by the films of master director Martin Scorsese. Over 65 artists contributed to the show, including Chuck Sperry, No Flesh, and Tessa Morrison, and many of them will be present for the show.
Some of the pieces on display remix the original posters for Scorsese's films. Others imagine some of his iconic characters, such as Raging Bull's Jake LaMotta, in unexpected new settings. Several will inevitably feature an unhinged Joe Pesci throwing someone a beating.
RSVP for the event online at Facebook, but first have a preview of what you'll be seeing at the show in the slide show above.

On May 10, more than 100 players will join us at Pronghorn Resort on our Jack Nicklaus Signature Course for Oregon's only U.S. Open Local Qualifier, one of only two in the Pacific Northwest. Pronghorn Director of Golf Jerrel Grow, will be one of them. We're taking a look at Jerrel's behind the scenes as he prepares to compete, and you can too. Just follow #JerrelsJourney on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see what he's up to and where he's drinking his yerba maté tea. (Get to know Jerrel and you'll learn that his tea is never far from sight.)
Jerrel believes that the future of the game depends on helping people enjoy it more. You can see that in his teaching, and also, his own practice. Visit Pronghorn Resort and treat yourself to a private lesson with Jerrel, an experience any level of golfer would benefit from. And join us at Pronghorn on May 10 for the U.S. Open Qualifier to cheer him on. The first tee time is at 8am. The event is open to the public and free to spectate.
Jerrel's 3 Tips to Prep for U.S. Open Qualifying
Do Your Research (and have fun with it)
It's important to know exactly who you're playing with. That's why Jerrel likes to interview his putters. Some questions you might want to consider asking:
When was the last time you had regular work?
When was your last 3 putt?
Have you ever been chucked?
Tell me about your lag skills.
Is this your original shaft?
How well do you think you perform under pressure?
(Jerrel's list of questions, see for yourself on Instagram.)
Get Fitted
To play your best golf, properly fitted equipment is paramount. Jerrel had the special treat of traveling to Ft. Worth last week to visit The Oven, Nike Golf's research and development center. The Oven, aptly named, is the place where Nike Golf cooks up new ideas and state-of-the-art designs for some of the world's top athletes. Jerrel was fitted for new woods, wedges and putters in the slick facility, an extensive process that is really, to say the very least, a special treat.
Getting fitted for new woods, wedges and putter ????@nikegolf#theoven#jerrelsjourney#enjoythechase#nikegolfpic.twitter.com/yNU8j7OYcO
— Pronghorn Resort (@PronghornResort) April 13, 2016
Although it's an incredible experience any golfer would jump at, you don't have to travel all the way to The Oven to dial in your game needs. Pronghorn and Pronghorn Academy has fitting professionals and the tools on site to get you fitted for a better game and all-around experience on the course.
Hit the Gym and the Bunkers
Working on your golf game takes time on the course and time in the gym. Staying strong and fit can really improve your performance on the course. Cardio and strength training are both important. Jerrel gets cardio in on the stationary bike. He also works on his core strength to help improve his drive. Try adding Med-Ball Perpendicular Throws to your routine (see how-to via GolfDigest.)
If the thought of bunker play fills your mind with fear, it's important to practice. This is one of the least practiced skills for amateur golfers and one of the areas where the average golfer can save a ton of strokes. Challenge yourself to hit 100 bunker balls per session. The short game practice area at Pronghorn is the perfect place to park it, preferably when the Central Oregon sun is shining.
Interested in learning more about how to improve your game? Take a look at our Stay and Learn package that includes lodging, unlimited golf on our Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and 2 hours of instruction at Pronghorn Academy.

Although UFC president Dana White initially suggested reigning middleweight king Anderson Silva (Pictured) wouldn't return to action until mid-June, Silva's injured shoulder appears to be healing faster than expected. "The Spider" recently came back to the gym to help Erick Silva prepare for next week's UFC 142 scrap.
In exclusive photos provided by Brazilian website TATAME.com, Silva is seen sparring, working his clinch game and of course flashing his infectious smile – which leads many to believe the pain in his shoulder has finally subsided.
The baddest 185-pounder in bare feet revealed after his effortless knockout of Yushin Okami in August that he entered UFC 134 with the wound and was on anti-inflammatory medicine a month prior to showtime.
It marked the second time in three scraps where Silva wasn't in top physical condition when the cage door slammed shut. After his Hail Mary submission victory over Chael Sonnen, the 36-year-old said he injured his ribs a week-and-a-half before UFC 117.
Silva is expected to defend his throne against the winner of this month's Sonnen vs. Mark Munoz fight when the UFC returns to FOX.

Yorkville man arraigned; possible drug-making charges still pending
A Yorkville man whose apartment contained a possible drug-making operation was arraigned in Oneida County Court Thursday morning on charges he violated his probation.
Michael Shecter, 33, was arrested in Otsego County Tuesday afternoon after he was located at his girlfriend's residence, which violated the conditions of a previous felony drug charge, Otsego County sheriff's deputies said.
Shecter pleaded not guilty to the violating probation, and is due back in front of Judge Barry M. Donalty Oct. 9.
After his arrest, Oneida County probation officers took Shecter to his Yorkville residence at 1004 Champlin Ave. later that afternoon, state police said. That's when the officers said they discovered a variety of unknown chemicals and indications that a possible hallucinogenic mushroom-growing operation was under way.
Neighbors were forced to evacuate their homes for roughly 10 hours as the state police Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team cleared Shecter's second-floor apartment of any hazardous chemicals or substances.
Until the seized substances are tested, however, it is unknown whether Shecter was growing and processing hallucinogenic mushrooms inside his residence.
Additional charges against Shecter are pending receipt of laboratory results and further investigation by the state police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team, or CNET, police said.
In the meantime, Shecter's attorney said his client doesn't know what all the fuss was about.
"He says, 'I don't know what their problem is,'" Dan Chertok said after the proceeding. "He says that is going to shake out to be nothing."
Shecter is in the Oneida County jail.
At the time of Tuesday's arrest, Shecter was free on bail regarding felony drug charges still pending in Saratoga County, more than 100 miles away.
Shecter had been indicted earlier this month in Saratoga County on several charges related to the possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms with the intent to sell, Saratoga County Assistant District Attorney Alan Poremba said Wednesday.
Shecter and another co-conspirator were arrested June 5 while Shecter was in the process of receiving 10 pounds of mushrooms from the other individual in the town of Wilton, Poremba said.
Saratoga County prosecutors await further information to clarify whether Shecter's activities in Yorkville are linked to his pending drug allegations, Poremba said.

A Year After Sandy, New York's Inequality Is Still Growing
Bill de Blasio, the soon-to-be-mayor of New York, made the rich-poor gap the core of his campaign. He faces a city still torn in two by the aftermath of the hurricane.
When Hurricane Sandy engulfed New York a year ago, David Del Valle helped me instead of his mother. Del Valle's choice was not voluntary.
For the last 10 years, the 48-year-old New Yorker has worked as a doorman at the hotel where my wife, daughter and I stayed after being ordered to evacuate our apartment in lower Manhattan. Eager to hold on to his job, Del Valle stayed at work but worried about his mother—who lives on the city's Lower East Side, which lost electricity and flooded.
His mother was fine and soon after the storm, I wrote about how Sandy exposed the city's vast economic inequality. While the better off moved to hotels or simply fled, Del Valle was one of the city's army of doormen, cooks, maintenance workers and maids who stayed on the job during the storm and had to leave their loved ones to fend for themselves.
"Divides between the rich and the poor are nothing new in New York," I wrote last year, "but the storm brought them vividly to the surface. There were residents like me who could invest all of their time and energy into protecting their families. And there were New Yorkers who could not."
In a small sign of how deeply the issue of inequality resonated among Americans, that column went viral and was the most popular piece I wrote last year. In a far larger and more important sign, New York mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio — who has made easing the city's inequality the core message of his campaign — is expected to be elected in a landslide next week, potentially by the largest margin in decades.
When I went back to the hotel this week and asked Del Valle if he thought inequality had eased, or de Blasio could help, he shrugged.
"For the average Joe Shmoe it probably is the same," he said, referring to inequality. "But I'm so busy trying to take care of my things that I don't know."
He told me a few stories about last year. Cutting in front of other guests waiting for taxis, one guest had paid a driver $200 to take her from the hotel to her home on the Upper East Side. A family from overseas paid another driver $800 to take them to Boston.
A doorman, who asked not to be named, blamed the finance industry for the city's excesses, but predicted de Blasio would be powerless to change them.
"Wall Street is the problem," the doorman said.
A hugely unscientific and myopic poll of working-class New Yorkers—a half dozen hotel workers who helped my family a year ago—produced similar responses. They all expressed deep cynicism about the possibility for change, and an even deeper cynicism about American politicians—including de Blasio and his fellow Democrats.
"I don't believe in nobody, I don't care about politics," said one garage attendant, who had slept in a car the night of the hurricane as his sister weathered the storm in New Jersey. "I have to work because I want to eat. That's all I believe."
His experience over the last year fuels his cynicism. Since Sandy, the corporate owners of the garage where he works increased the price of a monthly parking space from $375 to $575. The "early bird special" rose from $25 to $32 a day. His salary, however, went up only 25 cents an hour—from $8.50 to $8.75. This was his first raise in two years. Tips help, of course, but he and a co-worker said they must routinely work 60 hours a week to get by.
"It's just insane," said the co-worker, "the only reason we keep working here is the overtime."
George Pedraza, a 20-year-old from Queens who had contacted me after reading the article last year, was just as cynical. During Sandy, Pedraza's father had stayed at his job as a maintenance worker at a midtown office building, leaving Pedraza and his older sister to fend for themselves in Corona. Pedraza's mother had died of cancer in 2005.
A year after the storm, Pedraza works three jobs while attending Queens College. He said he believes it will be impossible for de Blasio to ease New York's inequality. Vested interests in the city and the Democratic Party block him.
"I don't think de Blasio is going to come with a cape on and be like superman," Pedraza told me this week. He said he felt alienated from politics as well.
"I'm a young man of color when it comes to politics in the city," he said. "I'm either taken for granted by the Democrats or completely ignored by the Republicans."
Pedraza said he was supporting Adolfo Carrion Jr., the independent candidate for mayor. He said Democrats tend to give charity to the poor while Republicans largely ignore them. Giving the poor the skills, contacts and confidence to take advantage of opportunities, he said, was the best way to ease inequality. He cited the All Stars Project, an education non-profit where he works, as an example.
"Poor people don't need charity, they need growth," he said. Pedraza called for a paradigm shift "so the conversation would be more developmental." "How do you grow communities? How do you grow people?"
The deep disconnect between de Blasio's laudable goal and the New Yorkers who might benefit from it is harrowing. As mayor, his ability to single-handedly ease inequality is limited. State and national reforms that would create better-paying jobs, improve education and eliminate tax loopholes are needed.
Public cynicism about our political system, meanwhile, is rising. A Pew poll conducted in early October found that 19 percent of Americans expressed trust in government—the second-lowest figure recorded since 1958.
We suffer not only from income inequality—but an inequality of political engagement, activism and hope.

Port Townsend Farmers Market. Just 3 blocks down Clay Street from the Blue Gull Inn B&B on Saturdays is our local Farmers Market. Great local produce, food, crafts and music from 9am to 2pm. Take time to enjoy all it has to offer. We are fortunate to have such a nice Farmers Market in our Community, especially in Uptown. Located on the corner of Lawrence and Tyler streets, across the street from Aldrich's grocery store.
Tyler and Lawrence Streets, Port Townsend, WA
The Port Townsend Saturday Market is a lively community hub in the center of uptown Port Townsend. One of the largest small town markets in the nation, the Market has over 70 vendors each week including: 40 farms, 4 artisan cheese makers, 3 cideries, artisan bakers, espresso and coffee, herbal salves, soaps, and arts and crafts. Come get your groceries for the week, enjoy a delicious meal, live music and community. Open the first Saturday in April through the third Saturday in December, 9am – 2pm from April through October, 10am – 1 pm from November-December.
The Salmon Wagon Is Back and Time to Get Planting
'Tis the season for salmon sandwiches and spring planting. The In Season Catering Salmon Wagon will be back at market this Saturday with delicious salmon sandwiches featuring fish from Cape Cleare Fishery, Pane d'Amore Artisan Bakery bread, local eggs and salad greens, as well as Wild Sage Tea. Yum!
The return of the Salmon Wagon signifies a change in the market season from the early spring to later spring and summer. If you haven't started already, this is the time for planting your veggie, fruit and flower starts. Local farmers have an abundance of salad green, herbs, medicinal and decorative flower, strawberry, raspberry, shrub and even tomato starts at market. While tomato starts should be planted in greenhouses or hothouses this time of year, the other starts at market can go straight into the ground. Ask your local farmer if you have any questions about planting.
This Saturday is also the weekend before May Day on Monday, May 1. May Day is ancient northern hemisphere spring festival traditionally including dancing, singing, May poles, giving flowers, and sharing food. While the earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times honoring flower goddesses, May Day has been adapted from culture to culture. In the United States May Day is both a celebration of spring and International Worker's Day. This is a time to share May baskets with neighbors and friends. Traditionally, May baskets, filled with flowers and possibly treats, are dropped off on a friend's porch, their bell is rung or door knocked upon and the giver runs away before being caught. You are in luck! In time for May Day there are plenty of spring flowers at market for your baskets to loved ones and neighbors.
One last thing, did you know that we accept and match EBT/SNAP, WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers at market? With community and grant support we help you stretch your federal food assistance dollars so you can get more nutritious, local food. Check in with Jefferson County Public Health and OlyCAP to find out when WIC and Senior Farmers Market Program vouchers will be distributed (usually in June). Visit the market booth for more information about our matching programs. Our thanks goes out to our individual donors and sponsors: Jefferson Healthcare, Kristin Manwaring Insurance, the Port Townsend Food Co-op, United Good Neighbors, and a Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive grant from the United Stated Department of Agriculture. Check out our new EBT signs. Salix did. If you are about two feet tall they are lots of fun.

(NBC Primetime, 1952- 1955) [The story was about a mild-mannered high school science teacher, the epitome of a "Casper Milktoast." It was played by Wally Cox, a character actor who could well play the role with a nerdy voice.

The New Year is here and I'm sure you all have been good little goal setters and have your resolutions in place. I happen to love New Year's resolutions, even if like 90% of people don't keep them…which by the way is because you can't just set goals, you have to create an action plan too…but that's another blog for another day.
Today I want to share with you how Young Living can help you accomplish the 10 most common New Year's resolutions.
1. Get Fit
Essential oils and products containing them can help you in your fitness goals.
Post-workout apply Deep Relief, Cool Azul, or Ortho Sport massage oil to prevent and ease sore muscles.
You can get the fabulous Active and Fit Kit to help you work out even harder and recover even faster. Cross Fit anyone??
Combine ½ cup of coconut oil with 10 drops each of PanAway, Copaiba, and Peppermint to create your own soothing muscle rub.
2. Lose Weight
Young Living has an entire group of products, the Slique line, that is especially formulated for healthy weight management and comes in several convenient forms: Oil, Gum, Bars, and Tea.
3. Worry Less
I get it. Life is STRESSFUL. Work, family, bills, obligations…it can all add up to something overwhelming. The following oils are my favorite to diffuse when I need to just breathe.
4. Quit Smoking
It's not easy to quit, but this could be THE BEST resolution for you and your loved ones. Essential oils are here to help!
5. Budget
Do you have something big to save for? Kid's college? Retirement? Dream vacation? Young Living has essential oils formulated to help get your mind right when it comes to thinking about money.

6. Bring Back That Loving Feeling
Let's face it, sometimes the flames of passion dissipate of over time. Work, kids, chores and the daily stresses of life can get in the way of romance and passionate connection.
Sensation™ is a wonderfully fragrant, powerfully romantic blend that is extremely uplifting and refreshing. It was formulated to enhance the enjoyment of special moments. Use this with a carrier oil to create a romantic massage!
Ylang Ylang has a mild floral scent and is commonly used as an aphrodisiac and is great applied topically or when diffused.
7. Focus/Be Present
This is a big one for me! With a six year old, running a business and hobbies like crafting and writing, organization and focus is vital. Essential oils can do wonders for enhancing focus, memory and motivation.
Young Living has some amazing supplements for this area too! Sometime around my midday meal, I like to take advantage of a few cognition-supporting supplements. NingXia Nitro is the perfect quick pick-me-up without the sugar or caffeine overload. Infused with essential oils, botanical extracts, D-ribose, Korean ginseng, and green tea extract, NingXia Nitro supports alertness, as well as cognitive and physical fitness.
I also like to use MindWise, Young Living's advanced brain wellness serum. Providing vitamin D, CoQ10, ALCAR, and GPC, MindWise is a great go-to supplement for supporting your mind and memory.
8. Follow Your Passion
If you're feeling stagnate or regret not making something important happen for yourself in the past few years, 2017 is the year to make it happen. Maybe you've always wanted to go back to school or turn your hobby into a business or learn a new skill!
There are several blends that have been created to stimulate this area of your life. Gary Young formulated Build Your Dream™ essential oil blend in 2014 to celebrate the landmark achievement of Young Living setting the standard for quality, purity, and effectiveness in the essential oils industry for 2 decades. This unique and powerful commemorative blend includes significant oils that highlight Young Living's 20-year journey of helping individuals discover profound and lasting transformations, improve their health, and change lives around the world!
Maybe essential oils are your passion and hobby. Try hosting a class! It is so fun to get together with friends and share information! If this interests you, shoot me a message.
9. Eat Healthy
Maybe Young Living is not the first thing you think of when it comes to a healthy diet, but yes, there is an oil – or 2 or 3 – for that! Not only are there oils, but there are nutritional supplements and food offerings as well.
Eating healthy always starts with cooking real whole foods in the kitchen. You can add essential oils in your favorite recipes that call for dried herbs, spices, or fruit juices. Simply replace these ingredients with the equivalent essential oil. Keep in mind that essential oils have a much stronger flavor than dried herbs and spices, so a much smaller amount is generally enough. We recommend starting out with small amounts of oil and then increasing the amount according to your own taste.
Young Living also offers a line of nutrient-rich beverages to help improve physical and mental function. NingXia Red is a daily nutrient infusion for health and wellness support. In addition to whole-fruit wolfberry puree and superfruit juices and extracts, it's formulated with Orange, Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine essential oils.

10. Sleep Better
What if I told you there was a way to dramatically improve your physical, emotional, and mental health all without lifting a finger? The answer is Sleep!
One of the best ways to meet your goals this year is to start with a good night's sleep. Research has proven that people who don't get enough sleep have bigger appetites (goodbye weight loss resolution) and that being awake 16 straight hours decreases your performance as much as if your blood alcohol level was .05% (that's almost the legal limit!)
It's easy to see how waking up well-rested would be a huge help in achieving your exercise goals, while also giving you that boost to get organized or quit smoking.
Unfortunately sleeping soundly is easier said than done, but check out the all-natural options from Young Living!
Lavender has long been used to promote rest and relaxation. Try a few drops in the diffuser or apply on the bottom of feet and behind your ears to ease off into slumber. Use lavender with Epsom salts for a relaxing bath before bed. Also found in the Kit, Stress Away is a wonderful blend to diffuse while sleeping.
Try Cedarwood. This is the first oil I bought after my kit and I still diffuse it every night for a more restful sleep.
Tranquil is a pre-mixed and diluted blend in a roll-on bottle. Just a quick swipe behind the ears and up the spine, and we're all drifting off to sleep!
The New Year is a perfect time to get your Premium Starter Kit. It is 11 of the most popular oils (most are suggested in this post), a diffuser, and comes with a wholesale membership, which means 24% off future orders. If you're ready to commit yourself and your family to a life that is filled with wellness, head on over to this post on getting started.
Share your New Year's Resolutions and how you plan to achieve them in the comments.
Happy New Years!

Last week, Comedian Katt Williams was charged with allegedly assaulting a man who was hired to drive him to a performance in Portland. According to the Port of Portland police, Williams was charged with assault in the 4th degree, which is a class A misdemeanor. Based upon Oregon law, the maximum penalty for this charge is a sentence of one year in jail.
So let's consider the possible result if Williams was charged under similar circumstances in North Carolina. Under North Carolina law, a simple assault is a class 2 misdemeanor. As a result, the maximum punishment is 60 days in jail, although a probationary sentence would also be a possibility depending on the defendant's prior criminal record.
A charge of simple assault is a serious North Carolina criminal charge with significant penalties and consequences and a lot of issues that must be analyzed and considered. Therefore, if you are charged with simple assault or some other some other assault charge such as assault on a female or assault with a deadly weapon in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina or one of the surrounding counties, you need an experienced Winston-Salem criminal defense attorney to handle your case. An experienced Winston-Salem criminal defense lawyer, with experience in North Carolina criminal law, will guide you through this process to make sure that all of your rights are being protected and that all of your possible defenses, if any, are being asserted. Please call us at (336) 725-6559 and schedule a free consultation with a Winston-Salem criminal defense attorney to assist you. Our office is located for your convenience in downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

When trying to share a local drive with my docker containers using Docker for Windows in my Git Bash shell, I kept getting errors about invalid mount specs. Even just following along with the basic example provided in the Docker for Windows dialog for sharing drives fails:
$ docker run –rm -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls /data
docker: Error response from daemon: invalid bind mount spec "c;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\Users;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\data": invalid mode: \Program Files\Git\data.
This turns out to be an issue with Git Bash (and MSYS in general) attempting to resolve and expand our paths before handing them off to docker. Escaping the forward-slashes with an extra forward-slash resolves this issue:
$ docker run –rm -v c://Users://data alpine ls //data
All Users
Default User
This is not an issue from within PowerShell or the Command Prompt, so stick with one of those when working with docker or remember to escape your slashes when passing them into the docker command.

09 Nov 10 Ways To Take Photos Of Yourself When Travelling Solo
Before becoming blogger myself I always wondered… How do all those solo travellers manage to fill their Instagram galleries with such stunning shots of themselves?
Do they have secret photographers they don't tell us about? Special magic powers or a few extra invisible limbs? Actually, it turns out they don't. I know this because a) I'm one of them now and b) I've been closely observing other bloggers in their natural habitat ever since buying this little piece of Internet real estate.
So, how does this whole solo-travelling photo-taking thing work? Turns out it's embarrassingly simple. The only requirement? Patience and not worrying about looking silly. These are the best and simplest ways to take photos of yourself when travelling solo…
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]1. Self-timer[/custom_headline]
Possibly the simplest way of taking a photo of yourself when travelling alone is using the self-timer on your camera or phone. If you're using this method – or any of the following three – you will need either a tripod or a flat even surface to rest your camera on. Flat even surface can mean anything from a bench to a grassy plain, just make sure your camera doesn't get nicked, splashed with water or something equally disastrous.
As for tripods, I'd only recommend a sturdy big one if you plan on taking beautiful long-exposure shots, need a video head or your camera is very large. Otherwise go with a gorilla pod – they're extremely versatile, light and easy to transport. If you don't mind frantically running into the shot, the self-timer function on its own should do. If you'd like to be a little slicker, get a clicker. I'm sorry, I can't resist a rhyme no matter how subpar.
What I'm saying is – get a device to control your camera's shutter with. This can either be a separate remote control or just your phone. My Lumix LX100 can do this through the Panasonic image app for iPhone and most cameras have this functionality nowadays.
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]2. Burst mode[/custom_headline]
Burst mode is a setting on your camera which allows it to take lots of photos in a short space of time. How many depends on your device, but even an iPhone can take 10 frames per second! The procedure here is very similar to the above – only as a bonus you'll have more photos to choose from.
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]3. 4k photography[/custom_headline]
If you like the idea of having many shots to choose from, you'll love 4k photography. I know I do! What is it? It's like burst mode on steroids! The camera captures video at 30 frames per second with little motion blur – in other words, 5 seconds of video will give you 150 different photos to choose from.
For more info, check out my the Panasonic Lumix 4k photo page as well as my post about 4k photography for step-by-step instructions on how to get the perfect image. This method is particularly effective for photos of movement – think running, jumping, tossing your hair…
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]4. Video screenshots[/custom_headline]
If your camera does not have a 4k photography function, try simple video screenshots. It's easy – record a short video of yourself, then pause the video on your computer or phone and take a screenshot. These won't be as sharp or as high-quality as 4k photos, but with a bit of editing magic you can still get some amazing snaps!
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]5. Reflective surfaces[/custom_headline]
Now, let's start getting a little creative. I know mirror selfies are pretty passé, but I'm not talking about a random snap of yourself at the gym. How about using the reflective powers of sunglasses, car mirrors or water?
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]6. Random body parts[/custom_headline]
You are more than just a pretty face! No, I'm not about to give you a pep talk about body image – not today anyway. What I'm trying to say is, you don't need your whole body in the photo to prove you were there. How about a cute photo of your feet on a cool floor (#ihavethisthingwithfloors), one of those are-they-sausages-or-legs seaside snaps or your hand pointing toward something in the distance?
If you're a fashion blogger, don't forget to include a quick #whatiwore snap of your outfit from above. I snapped the one above at London Fashion Week this year – no shame!
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]7. Selfie stick[/custom_headline]
I know, I know. A selfie stick is the Justin Bieber of photography equipment – everyone loves to hate them. Are they lame? Oh my, YES. But they get the job done and as long as you're not beating someone upside the head with them I don't see what the real danger is.
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]8. Long arm selfie[/custom_headline]
If you simply refuse to be that person, just stretch your arm out as far as you can, strike a pose and snap a selfie. It's more discreet than posing with a selfie-stick and unless you are a T-Rex, you should be able to get a nice enough shot.
My top tip? If you have a wide angle camera – or better yet a GoPro – you'll be able to pack a lot of background into one photo. Perfect for gorgeous landscapes and sprawling vistas!
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]9. Friendly strangers[/custom_headline]
I know this sounds like something straight out of the last millennium (it is), but there is definitely nothing wrong with asking a stranger to take your photo. I always keep an eye out for people carrying DSLRs because I (sometimes wrongly) assume they will know what they're doing. If you want a great shot, show the person taking it exactly what you want in it and then just hop in and have them press the shutter!
[custom_headline type="left, center, right" level="h2″ looks_like="h5″ accent="true"]10. Fellow travellers[/custom_headline]
Last, but certainly not least… fellow travellers. It may sound like this category is no different from the previous one but it is. My favourite way to get gorgeous photos and find like-minded kindred spirits is searching for fellow travellers online and then hanging out in real life.
Where can you find them? Instagram is a wonderful place to meet other people travelling in the area – the photo of me in front of London's Houses of Parliament was taken by Amy whom I met through that platform!
Another amazing way to meet fellow travelling ladies (sorry boys, don't feel left out) is joining my online community, the Girls vs Globe group on Facebook. Sure, I'm a little biased. But the women in it – many of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting in person – are some of the coolest people I've ever encountered.
What are your favourite ways to take photos of yourself when travelling solo? Do you prefer to rely on technology or other people? Which of these methods is your favourite? I mainly tend rely on other travellers and lately 4k photo – don't forget to follow me on Instagram for more snaps!

From the eBay trove:
and one more:
My title may mystify and confound. Let me explain in reverse: Red Norvo was born Kenneth Norville: his new name was in part a response to his hair color and the inability of bandleader Paul Ash to correctly recall and pronounce his surname. "Norvo," he told Whitney Balliett, "stuck."
JAZZ LIVES readers will of course recognize the woman at top — and her distinctive handwriting. Born Eleanora Fagan, daughter of Sadie Fagan and Clarence Holiday, she took "Billie" as her chosen name after the silent film actress Billie Dove. But I have called her "Mrs. McKay" here in sly obeisance to the thousands of readers who want to know more about Billie and her last husband Louis McKay. Why they are so fascinated by this conjugal bond I can't say — no one, as far as I know, searches for information on Billie and trumpeter Joe Guy, but the ways of love and of online queries are both mysterious.
May your happiness increase!

Want your very own server? Get our 1GB memory, Xeon V4, 25GB SSD VPS for £10.00 / month.Get a Cloud Server
EspoCRM is a free and open source web-based customer relationship manager application. It is written in PHP and uses MySQL database server to store its data. It is responsive, has an easy to use web interface and comes with many languages. It can be used in various industries like wholesale and retails, e-commerce, banking, call centres etc. More than 20,000 small and medium companies are already using EspoCRM.
In this tutorial, we will install EspoCRM on CentOS 7 server.
EspoCRM does not require any special hardware requirements. Recommended Memory requirement is 1GB. All the required dependencies will be installed throughout the tutorial. You will need a minimal installation of CentOS 7 with root access on it. If you are logged in as a non-root user, you can run
sudo -i to switch to root user.
Before installing any package it is recommended that you update the packages and repository using the following command.
yum -y update
Once you have your system updated, you can proceed to install the LAMP stack. Start the LAMP installation by installing Apache web server and MariaDB, which is a fork of MySQL using the following command.
yum -y install httpd mariadb-server mariadb
EspoCRM can be installed on any version of PHP greater than 5.5. Since PHP 5.5 has reached the end of life, we will install PHP 7.1 to obtain high performance and security. PHP 7.1 is not included in default YUM repository, hence you will need to add the Webtatic repository in your system. Webtatic repository requires EPEL repository to work. Run the following command to install EPEL repository.
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y update
Now install Webtatic repository using the following commands.
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
yum -y update
To install PHP 7.1 and all the required PHP modules, run the following command.
yum -y install php71w php71w-cli php71w-pdo php71w-json php71w-gd php71w-openssl php71w-zip php71w-imap php71w-mbstring php71w-pdo_mysql php71w-curl
Once you have PHP installed, you can check the version of PHP using the following command.
php -v
You should get output similar to this.
[root@liptan-pc ~]# php -v
PHP 7.1.5 (cli) (built: May 12 2017 21:54:58) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
You will also need to make a change into PHP configuration file
/etc/php.ini. Open
/etc/php.ini using your favorite editor.
nano /etc/php.ini
If you do not have nano installed, you can install it using
yum -y install nano. Scroll down to find the following lines.
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
;date.timezone =
Remove the semicolon from the start of the line and provide the appropriate time zone. For example
date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata
Now find the following lines and change the values according to instructions given.
memory_limit = 128M #Change the value to at least 256M
upload_max_filesize = 2M #Change the value to at least 50M
post_max_size = 8M #Change the value to at least 50M
max_execution_time = 30 #Change the value to at least 180
max_input_time = 180 #Change the value to at least 180
Save the file and exit from editor. Now start Apache web server and enable it to start at boot time using the following command.
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd
To start MariaDB and enable it to start at boot time using the following commands.
systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb
Now run the following commands to secure your MySQL or MariaDB installation.
It will run a small script which asks you to provide the root password for MariaDB. As we have just installed MariaDB, the root password is not set, just press enter to proceed further. It will ask you if you want to set a root password for your MariaDB installation, choose
y and set a strong password for the installation. It will also ask you for removing test databases and anonymous users. Most of the questions are self-explanatory and you should answer
y to all the questions.
To create a database we will need to login to MySQL command line first. Run the following command.
mysql -u root -p
This will prompt you for the password, provide the root password of MySQL which you have set earlier. Now run the following query to create a new database for your EspoCRM installation.
CREATE DATABASE ecrm_data;
The above query will create a database named
ecrm_data. Make sure that you use semicolon at the end of each query as the query always ends with a semicolon. Once the database is created you can create a new user and grant all the permissions to the user for the database. Using root user is not recommended for the databases. To create a new database user, run the following query.
CREATE USER 'ecrm_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongPassword';
The above query will create a user with username
ecrm_user. Now provide the appropriate privileges to your database user over the database you have created. Run the following command.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ecrm_data.* TO 'ecrm_user'@'localhost';
Now run the following command to immediately apply the changes on the database privileges.
Exit from MySQL prompt using
exit command.
As we have all the dependencies ready, we can now download the install package from EspoCRM website.
cd /var/www
wget https://www.espocrm.com/downloads/EspoCRM-4.7.0.zip
You can always find the link to the latest version of the application on EspoCRM download page.Extract the archive using the following command.
unzip EspoCRM*.zip
If you don't have unzip installed, you can run
yum -y install unzip. The above command will extract the content of the archive to
EspoCRM-4.7.0 directory. Rename the directory using the following command.
mv EspoCRM-4.7.0 espocrm
Now you will need to disable your SELinux. To temporary disable SELinux, run the following command.
setenforce 0
To completely disable the SELinux you will need to edit
/etc/selinux/config file.
nano /etc/selinux/config
Find the following line:
Change it to:
Now, you will need to provide the ownership of the application to web server user using the following command.
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/espocrm
You will also need to set the appropriate permissions to the files and directories, Run the following commands for same.
cd /var/www/espocrm
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} + && find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +;
find data custom -type d -exec chmod 775 {} + && find data custom -type f -exec chmod 664 {} +;
You may also need to allow HTTP traffic on port
80 through the firewall if you are running one. Run the following commands for same.
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --reload
Now create a virtual host for the EspoCRM application. Run the following command to do so.
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/crm.yourdomain.com.conf
Paste the following lines into the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email@example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/espocrm"
ServerName crm.yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.crm.yourdomain.com
<Directory "/var/www/espocrm">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/crm.yourdomain.com-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/crm.yourdomain.com-access_log" combined
crm.yourdomain.com with any domain or sub-domain you want to use to access the application. Save the file and exit from the editor. Run the following command to restart your Apache server.
systemctl restart httpd
Now complete the installation using a web browser, go to the following link using your favourite web browser.
You will be welcomed by the following page.

Finally, you will need to add a cron job for executing EspoCRM scheduled tasks. Run the following command to open crontab editor.
crontab -e
Paste the following line into the file.
* * * * * cd /var/www/espocrm; /usr/bin/php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
In this tutorial, we learned how to install EspoCRM on CentOS 7. You can now successfully deploy the EspoCRM application to manage the relationships with your customers, which will increase the sales and revenue.

Fight your fear of the walking dead with these games
The premiere episode of "Fear the Walking Dead" might be behind us, but that doesn't mean the zombie fun has to be over. There are plenty of games on the App Store that feature zombies as your enemies, so there is no reason why you can't fight the undead on your own in between episodes. These five games are some of my favorite zombie-slaying titles.
Dead Trigger 2
This game lets you play your part in saving the world from zombies and win real prizes in tournaments designed just for zombie-killing fun. You can travel across 10 different regions around the world, exploring 33 unique environments. For annihilating zombies, you can take your pick from 38 different weapons. Dead Trigger 2 is free on the App Store with in-app purchases to boost your supply of in-game currency.
Zombie Hunter: Apocalypse
In this title, you are a former marine tasked with killing as many of the walking dead as you can, playing through various scenarios full of intricate challenges. You can arm yourself with a variety of sniper rifles, assault weapons, or even bazookas, hunting those zombies who try to prey on humans, with the goal of saving the world from a zombie apocalypse. Zombie Hunter: Apocalypse is a free download on the App Store, supported by in-app purchases to get game currency used to buy weapons and supplies.
Age of Zombies
Barry Steakfries, the star of Jetpack Joyride, has to lock and load through the history of time to kill off various types of zombies and still make it home in time for dinner. Hordes of the undead have been sent to the furthest reaches of time to destroy mankind, so you get to go up against these fiends with a cache of weapons, a Zombie T-Rex, and a whole repertoire of cheesy one-liners. Age of Zombies is available for $0.99 on the App Store, without any in-app purchases.
Stupid Zombies 3
In this puzzle-ridden game, the zombies all stand still and wait for you to shoot them. It's not quite that easy, though, since there are walls and boxes, along with other obstacles, in the path of your ricocheting bullets, flares, baseballs, and rocket-propelled grenades. Aim your shot carefully to take out as many of the standing dead as you can, and watch the mayhem. Stupid Zombies 3 is free on the App Store, with in-app purchases that you can buy to get gold used for more lives.
Zombie Highway 2
Now, for a different type of zombie-killing mayhem, customize your car and arm your passenger to take on the walking dead as you fly down the highway. You'll have to avoid obstacles, smash zombies that latch onto your car, or run down the undead before they can even shamble onto your tricked-out ride. A growing arsenal of handguns, shotguns, and automatics is at your disposal to take down the shambling beasts. Zombie Highway 2 is a free download on the App Store, with in-app purchases for game currency used to arm yourself and customize your car.
I hope you enjoy these zombie-killing games as much as I do. Stopping hordes of shambling undead from taking over the world is a sometimes hilarious diversion from the daily grind, and I think it's the perfect complement to watching "Fear the Walking Dead" on AMC.

With the Super Bowl and its power outage now in the history books, the NFL has entered full offseason mode. For executives and coaches around the league, the 2013 season will unofficially begin with the scouting combine next week in Indianapolis. Many fans follow this event with avid interest, weighing the pros and cons of whether their favorite team should draft certain players. But with the season over, I think another dilemma should be on the minds of NFL fans: whether supporting football, the sport they have come to know and love, is ethical.
We all know that on-field hits can ruin a player's life. In 2010, for instance, Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand was paralyzed from the neck down while tackling the kick returner. Such severe brain injuries, however, remain relatively rare. More common are concussions and "sub-concussions" amassed over players' careers – careers that can span decades.
In 2011, former Bears Pro Bowl safety Dave Duerson shot himself to death in the chest at the age of 50. He requested beforehand that family members donate his brain to science, and researchers who examined it found "indisputable" evidence that Duerson had suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease resulting from accumulated concussions and sub-concussions. The symptoms of CTE include memory loss, depression, confusion, and aggression. A long concussion history is not necessary – hits that appear less serious can contribute to considerable damage over time. And CTE is progressive, so that even after a player with repeated head trauma retires, his condition will worsen.
Junior Seau, a famed linebacker who committed suicide at the age of 43 – also by a gunshot to the chest – was likewise found to have suffered from CTE. Of the 34 brain tissues from former football players submitted for research, 33 showed evidence of the disease.
Current and former players are worried. They see old teammates and role models succumb to depression and suicides. They know the results of the brain studies. They wonder if a slip of memory or lashing out at a family member is a sign of far worse things to come. As of now, CTE can only be diagnosed postmortem, and hundreds of living NFL players have agreed to donate their brains to research.
Often, these players refuse to let their children play the sport that they channeled into a career. But with millions of kids playing football each year, the supply is unlikely to dry up anytime soon. Perhaps if the league, which has until now made a halfhearted attempt to make the game safer, is held morally and financially accountable, more profound changes will be made to the game.
One factor preventing change is the millions of fans pouring billions of dollars into the league; many of these fans object to changes that make the game less interesting to watch. For these fans, some reflection is perhaps necessary: is it ethical to follow and support the sport if it may prove deadly? Are NFL stadiums simply modernized versions of the Roman Coliseum, where gladiators don't die in front of spectators but rather many years later, away from the spotlight?
Some people who are not overly concerned about the danger of the NFL point to other jobs with high degrees of risk – coal mining or military infantry, for instance. Yet these jobs (in theory) are crucial for our nation's success; however ingrained football is in our culture, at the end of the day it is just entertainment for the millions of fans out there.
Others will point out that professional players are paid for the risks and choose to accept them. Yet not only are the long-term risks just now coming to the forefront, but we have to ask ourselves how much choice is actually present in the system; the most gifted athletes are from a young age channeled into the sport, spending hours on the practice field instead of studying. And while most attend college, often their scholarships are contingent on football, not academics, coming first. While NFL players like Andrew Luck have the luxury of a strong education to fall back on, four out of every five former NFL players go bankrupt or have severe financial difficulties within two years of retirement.
I have always loved football, and that may not change anytime soon. But at the same time, I am becoming increasingly troubled by the sport. Whereas once I used to cheer for a monstrous hit, I now cringe, even if the player pops up and appears fine. These are fellow humans, and whatever urges we may have for entertainment and competition, we should not forget that fact.

Review: BLAHA – Fresh Horse
National Music Reviews
Fresh Horse
Slovenly Recordings
Street: 09.08
BLAHA = The Blind Shake + Dirty Fences
BLAHA is the solo project of Mike Blaha of The Blind Snake and Shadow in the Cracks. This EP was written and recorded by BLAHA at Banana Tone—which he also owns and operates. It was mastered by Crypt Records' own Tim Warren. Like his primary groups, BLAHA steeps his sound in a contemporary garage rock genre. He emphasizes a style utilizing mid-tempo grooves that mix surf and indie-inspired garage rock n' roll. Think of a much slower Ramones-style sound in the same vein as Dirty Fences, but with a less raucous approach.
"The Day We Were Born" is an easy listening, moody mid-tempo groover. Lyrically, it seems to pay homage to a relationship, which I'm guessing is the BLAHA brothers'. It's a track backed up by a stomping beat with rolling surfy riffs. This is something to play in the background and not be too concerned about it.
"Fresh Horse," by comparison, is a fuzzed-out garage rock monster. This is the kind of raw and unbridled noise that I should expect from BLAHA. Its distorted nature reminds me of Salt Lake City's Brain Bagz. In other words, it's like a garage-punk-stomper brother from another mother.
"All My Cells" is a slightly mellower stomper. It relies on fuzzy distortion to make its point. Like "Fresh Horse," this is a track that readily reminds me of The Blind Shake. Both are short and sweet, but devastatingly deadly.
Overall, Fresh Horse is an interesting novelty. While Slovenly may suggest that the moody tracks like "The Day We Were Born" are somewhat unique to their catalog, these tracks are pinnacles to supporting the raw and rash fuzz that these rock n' rollers found within other grooves, much like on the A-side of this EP. They provide a subtle break from the brain bashing that you get from tracks like "All My Cells."
If you are familiar with BLAHA's previous works, Fresh Horse is not quite a departure. Rather, it's a continuation of the same style that is readymade for the ears. It's garage punk at its contemporary finest. BLAHA doesn't tempt his listeners with a revivalist method that sounds sweet and lures them into an album or single with promises of nostalgia. Instead, BLAHA gives his listeners something new and exciting to be overwhelmed by. This EP is garage punk with the bittersweet hopes of moody poppy goodness.
BLAHA's Fresh Horse is a followup to his debut, indie-meets-psychedelic rock The Art of Not—also released in 2017 through Wet Bridge Records. Fresh Horse will no doubt be flying off shelves and onto people's turntables. Be sure to cruise on over to Slovenly Recordings and get yourself a copy. For more about BLAHA, visit his discogs section or go directly to the BLAHA Slovenly Recordings section. Then dig in and check out all that this rad artist—and label—has to offer. Fans of cool and obscure garage rock will be glad they did. –Nick Kuzmack

Mellow kitty
A small tabby cat/kitten has turned up in our back garden and appears to have no home. She is very affectionate and looks well cared for. We have trawled round all the local roads asking people if they have lost a cat but to no avail. We suspect she may have been abandoned. We would keep her but we already have a cat who is very territorial.
Please email Simon if you are her owner.

For many countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, issues like food security, workforce development, trade policies and gender equality are key to improving competitiveness. The Duke GVC Center has been researching such topics since 2010.
In terms of food security in the region, the rising costs of wheat contributed to the Arab Spring in Egypt and other countries. To illustrate this most poignantly, one man at Egypt's Tahrir Square demonstration wore a bread helmet with three rolls wrapped around his head in plastic to protest. Duke GVC Center studies on various MENA countries' wheat value chains and food security shed light on some of the underlying issues to instability in the region.
How can workforce development strategies enhance the upgrading efforts and competitiveness of developing countries in global industries? The Duke GVC Center offered insights to this question based on a study of the tourism global value chain (GVC) in Jordan.
Another study analyzes the impact of the tariff preference levels (TPLs) for apparel in the U.S. – Bahrain Free Trade Agreement over the past 10 years and provides policy makers with perspective on the prospects for the future of the industry in Bahrain if TPLs are not renewed after they are set to expire in July 2016; while a 2013 book entitled Global Value Chains, Economic Upgrading, and Gender includes a case study on the call center industry in Egypt and the relationships among upgrading, trade and gender.
Reports: 2
Publications: 10
Countries: 9 countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates)
Industries: Agro-food (wheat, maize), Services (tourism, call centers, employment), Manufacturing (apparel)
Sponsors: Minerva Research Initiative, RTI International, Embassy of Bahrain
The Minerva Research Initiative has been the primary sponsor of the Duke GVC Center's research in the MENA region. Here is summary of the Minerva Research Initiative project.
Challenge: If future food price spikes last too long, social unrest in MENA could be exasperated, leading to regional conflict and widespread malnutrition and starvation. To help avoid such a scenario, the client wanted to understand the complexity of wheat markets and their underlying chain governance structure that determines food security outcomes in five MENA countries.
Approach & Outcomes: The interdependencies between global trade and local access to wheat and wheat products can be best understood through the GVC lens. Duke researchers used the GVC framework to first understand the industrial organization of the global wheat industry and then how the chain operates in Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates. The five key findings from the report are as follows:
1. Five major firms dominate the global wheat industry in these markets.
2. The MENA region uses a variety of approaches to achieve food security.
3. Several issues, such as environmental distress and water shortages, cut across different country cases.
4. Institutional legacies are very strong in all five countries studied in this report.
5. The countries are diversifying their supply base.
As a follow-up, Duke GVC Center researchers studied the increasing role the Black Sea region (Russia and Ukraine) has on food trade into the MENA region.

Routines, rituals, traditions. Some of my favorite things. I'm not sure what it is about doing something at the same time every day, every week, or every year that gives me such joy and peace, but there it is.
When we were reading about the Passover this year, the verse that stood out to me was that God told them to celebrate it yearly, so they wouldn't forget His protection. (Exodus 12:14.)
I guess deep down, that is what all the traditions I've developed in our family boil down to. While enjoying moments of fun, warmth, and total security, we're also creating set points in our daughters' lives that they will always remember. And the mom in me hopes they'll one day return home for some of these traditions and remember their rich childhood filled with love. Of course, I also hope that they'll pass them on to their own children, and create some new ones, too.
The only problem with routines is, like anything, you can overdo it. I've been known to get so enthusiastic about traditions that make it practically impossible to keep up with them all. That will have to be part of my kids' memories, too. Their wacky mom who was always planning something!
In spite of my flakiness, several things have stayed put over the years.
Here are some simple ones I've shared:
Sick Days
Lazy Day
Bedtime Rituals
What are some of your favorite routines?
