"We don't think it takes time to think right. It doesn't; it only takes a willingness to accept without thought. To think that you have to understand is one of the thorns in our educational process. It is one of the great omissions to think that the cane can't be used, because there is nothing that can, be achieved without discipline and it doesn't come by talk! Discipline is really, in Essence, the ability to manage the self, or self-management. Discipline is only achieved through blood, sweat, and screams!"

Chinese Bank Sanctioned by Fed Over Money-Laundering Safeguards
Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. has been ordered by the Federal Reserve to overhaul its protections against money laundering to address "significant deficiencies," the U.S. regulator said in a statement Thursday.
The lender, one of China's biggest banks, will have to come up with a written plan within 60 days to fix the shortcomings in managing risk in its New York branch and get better control over suspicious activity, the Fed said. The order didn't carry a monetary penalty.
Earlier this year, the Beijing-based lender was sued by a former chief compliance officer who said she was forced out of her job after telling the New York Fed about money-laundering risks in trade-financing transactions. Natasha Taft, who ran the firm's compliance in New York, alleged the bank retaliated against her for the disclosures in late 2014.
In 2011, a senior executive of the bank -- one of the global lenders deemed systemically important by the Financial Stability Board -- issued a notice saying Agricultural Bank "strictly complies" with anti-money-laundering laws in China and the countries it operates in. Last year, a vice president of the bank, Yang Kun, was jailed for life for taking bribes.

I really like the new website design. But gosh is the text incredibly tiny. Article font size is perfect, but the home page and podcast page fonts are ridiculously small. It would be extremely appreciated if you considered increasing it drastically or allowing me to manually control it to my own liking. My eyes haven't strained and watered so much on Pauls site since he first accepted defeat and started bashing on Windows Phone. Thanks in advance, Lewk 🙂
Font/Text size is far too small

The economy of nature, its checks and balances, its measurements of competing life-all this is its great marvel and has an ethnic of its own. Live in nature, and you will soon see… that nature has its unexpected and unappreciated mercies. Whatever attitude to human existence you fashion for yourself, know that it is valid only if it be in the shadow of an attitude to nature.
–Henry Beston, The Outermost House
Monday August 19, 1991 a category three hurricane struck the quaint islands of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. Weekend news reports informed us of the possibility the Cape would be hit. CapeCodders are no stranger to hurricanes and other severe weather and actually most natives find the storms enjoyable. However, strong hurricanes rarely reach as far north as the Cape and when they do they are weak, causing little damage.
This time it was different. For the first time I made preparations to secure my home, little did I know many others felt it too and were spending their Sunday afternoon securing their homes and boats. Less than 24-hours later we would all know how different this storm would be. Very few people had seen such destruction and even fewer remember past storms such as Carol, Edna or the New England hurricane of '38.
Unfortunately, many did not heed the warnings and paid the price for their indifference to what they believed was yet another false alarm. By 10:30 Monday morning winds picked up. We listened to the radio and the announcer stated, "due to sustained wind speeds of 70-mph officials have closed the Bourne and Sagamore bridges". Ferries and air traffic had already been halted. Traffic at this time was backed up on route 6 from the Cape Cod Canal to the Orleans Rotary, a distance of about 50 miles. By noon we were without power as was the rest of the Cape. This would last for up to two weeks. I would spend the next five hours protecting my home.
The destruction I saw was incredible. Storm surge flooded coastal homes not protected by seawalls and placed huge sailboats in yards, beaches and roads more than fifty yards from the bay. Huge trees had been uprooted completely, collapsed building, bridges swept away, and homes washed out to sea. And we were the lucky ones. Falmouth and the Buzzards Bay area received the brunt of the storm, flooding most low coastal areas and completely destroying several communities.
The cleanup took two months but before it was finished, before receiving promised federal aid the Cape was hit again this time by a nor'easter named the Perfect Storm which caused almost as much damage. The Cape would be declared a federal disaster area for the second time this season.
Hurricane Bob is currently ranked the 32nd costliest storm since 1900 with over two billion in costs, which included ten million to crops, 69 million to public facilities such as roads and bridges, and 900 million to insured property. This does not account for the loss to the tourist industry. The Cape is highly dependent on the tourist industry which is very short; a mere three months. One weekend of lost revenue can devastate a small business.
There are many hidden, unquantifiable costs that affect the human-environment relationship, as the vulnerability of Cape Cod rests as much on the socio-psychological effects as well as economic loss. The culture on Cape Cod is heavily influenced by history, ambiance and the beautiful geography which creates a special relationship between CapeCodders and their landscape. These cannot be quantified.

Carol & I travelled to Berkeley's lovely Claremont Neighborhood to show a wonderful home to a relocation buyer who found us on our berkeleyhomes.com web site.
After our meeting, we had lunch at Holy Land (one of our favorite restaurants in town) the strolled up Elmwood Neighborhood's College Avenue to visit the hobby shop, wine merchant, Mrs. Dalloway's books, the Tibet Import store, What the Traveler Saw… and Cafe Roma.
The caffeine artist made a picture atop the cappucchino.. and the reflection of the light reminded me of last night's sunset photo.
You can understand why we have a passion about our wonderful city, and love to share our excitement with others!

Building a baseball team is a delicate process. If a team is too aggressive in its approach, it will have a one- or two-year window to win a World Series. If a team isn't aggressive enough, it will toil in mediocrity (or worse) and rarely give hope to its fanbase.
Fans of the Minnesota Twins want to see the aggressive approach at the moment, as they've been screaming for general manager Terry Ryan to do something this offseason to solve one of Major League Baseball's worst pitching rotations.
So far, the Twins haven't done much of anything on the free-agent market. Instead, they've opted to make trades to improve their farm system more than building something at the major league level.
The approach is the correct one to take with the current state of the Twins. Here's why the Twins should stay away from the free-agent market.

5 Ways to Bridge the Generation Gap at Work
With the number of workers over the age of 55 continuing to increase, the workforce now includes five generations for the first time in history.
What does that mean for you? That strange sensation — when you look around a room full of people and realise "I'm older than all these people" — is becoming more and more common.
Being older than your coworkers can be disorienting, but bridging a generational gap (or four) can also present specific challenges that may make teamwork tricky.
Here is some advice on how to relate with younger coworkers in ways that benefit everybody.
Know your strengths
First, you've got a lot going for you! According to several studies published by AARP, senior staff are more likely to show up on time, work hard, pay attention to detail and make informed decisions using past experiences.
The result? Unique value in the workplace. Even though it can feel a little strange to think of your age as a characteristic that gives you unique value, approaching your role in the workplace with a positive attitude about what you bring to the table can help a lot. It's easy to forget that lessons learned from a history of work experience aren't second nature to younger employees.
It's hard to calculate the exact value of making efficient decisions and creating workable solutions based upon prior experience and overall knowledge, but it's big.
Relating to younger coworkers in a way that helps you all get the job done starts with recognising your own value. Approach tasks and teamwork with an awareness of what everybody's best at — especially you.
Reach out
Get to know the people around you, and connect with them to the best of your ability. Finding common interest with co-workers is a great way to adjust to a new environment, and start building professional relationships.
A good approach is to ask around about people's hobbies and tastes. Everybody's interested in something. Once you've established a rapport, it's much easier to work together.
Keep an open mind
Younger coworkers might have limited experience with intergenerational relationships other than with their own parents. They might assume you're more set in your ways than you actually are. Showing that you're flexible and adaptable can build trust and break down stereotypes.
Keep an open mind and realise that all five generations currently in the workforce have great ideas to bring to the table.
Share your experience
Look at your years of experience as a skillset just as valuable as any other. If you have knowledge that can help the team based on situations you've dealt with in the past, speak out. While your accumulated wisdom gives you unique value, it doesn't help if you keep it a secret.
Get help
If you still feel like there's a disconnect, ask around! With the rising numbers of older employees, one thing's for sure: You're not alone.
There are plenty of other who know how you feel, and plenty of experienced professionals who can help guide you through.

Change Your Cup, Change Your Life
Millions of people already have coffee in their life; however herbally infused coffee, tea & cocoa can make a life changing difference!
If you want youthful energy and the calorie-burning effect of an increased metabolic rate plus the added benefit of appetite suppression, you will love our "Burn and Control" gourmet weight loss coffee.
It is an answer to so many people's prayers who need more energy to succeed with reducing the unnecessary LBs and improving their health and physical comfort!
Our "Burn and Control" gourmet instant weight loss coffee is our main product! We have taken premium South American Arabica and Robusta coffee beans and added two herbs: Yerba Mate and Garcinia Cambogia. The result has to be experienced to be believed!
Have you ever heard any one say, "Oh darn, I forgot to drink my cup of coffee (tea) this morning."
And that's the genius behind Burn+Control Coffee! No more having to remember to choke down pills or protein drinks.
Yerba Mate is a well-known herb in South America, and is as much a social drink as tea and coffee are in the U.S. It has both caffeine and theobromine in it plus many other compounds that have proven to be very beneficial and is used by millions as a safe stimulant that provides a noticeable, long term, energy boost. It is also reputed to be beneficial against colon cancer and other types of malignant growths.
Garcinia Cambogia is the fruit of a tree that grows in India and SouthEast Asia. It is an excellent appetite suppressant and is also reputed to help stop the formation of fat in the liver. Garcinia is also used as a spice in many countries.
Research indicates that the weight-loss mechanism is that it slows the conversion of carbohydrates to fats and tells our brain our stomach is full and to stop eating. Garcinia has also been used to help stop gastric and duodenal ulcers by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach.
Many people also report lower cholesterol levels when consuming this multi-benefit herb.
See our Success Stories below for our most current news of people getting results!
Garcinia Cambogia: Dual-Action Fat Buster
Derived from a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit native to Indonesia, Garcinia Cambogia is being heralded by medical experts and nutritional enthusiasts, not to mention Hollywood socialites, as the 'holy grail of weight loss.'
Here are the top 5 reasons this little fruit is making a big impression:
1. Acts as a fat blocker, turning sugars into energy instead of fat.*
2. Helps suppress appetite and control cravings.*
3. Decreases belly fat.*
4. Assists emotional eaters in balancing mood.*
5. Manages the stress hormone cortisol.*
Sources: Evidence Based Complementary Alternative Medicine & Physiological Behavior.
Turning the Spotlight on Yerba Mate
Yerba mate is a stimulant with an ingredient known as mateine, which is similar to caffeine, without some of the known side effects. The mateine in yerba mate can help increase your metabolism and increase your energy, thereby burning fat in the process.
Yerba mate also has a relaxing effect that can calm your emotions and make you less prone to fall into overeating while stressed—a condition known as stress eating. This effect of yerba mate has also been known to stop cravings you may have for unhealthy foods. In addition, yerba mate has been found to slow down the rate of gastric emptying. This leads to dieters feeling fuller longer and less likely to overeat. It's easier to burn fat when you're not burning off all the excess food you're eating.
Yerba mate has also been known to delay the onset of lactic acid in your muscles—a condition that many exercisers know as "the burn." A delaying of "the burn" allows you to work out for longer than usual, thereby also increasing your ability to burn more fat.
Other Benefits of Yerba Mate
- A study on small mammals suggests that yerba mate can lower cholesterol levels and blood sugar level.
- Yerba mate can help the body to produce more bile and soften your stool, allowing your body's digestive system to operate more smoothly.
- Even though yerba mate is a stimulant, it can help you sleep sounder. Sleep is a critical component of a healthy life.
- Unlike other stimulants which can cause undue stress on your heart, yerba mate can actually be helpful to your heart by increasing supply of oxygen to the heart.
- It can also relax your blood vessels, increasing circulation and lowering blood pressure.
- Yerba mate is also believed to reduce inflammation of the lungs.

Burn + Control White Paper
Obesity and overweight are growing epidemics for much of the civilized world, leading to chronic diseases commonly associated with this health condition, such as cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and potentially cancer. Preventing or reversing this debilitating condition has been the focus among complementary and alternative medicines, particularly within the nutraceutical and functional food industries. Many herbal products make claims toward weight loss and weight management, yet scientific research is scanty for these products at best. Researching and reviewing available scientific evidence prior to formulating novel products is ideal to insure the safety and efficacy of natural products.
When formulating Burn+Control Coffee, Dollar Coffee Club made extensive use of available research to confirm their own findings that Burn+Control Coffee is not only safe at the recommended dosages, but that it is highly effective for supporting the body in healthy weight management. It targets multiple functions in the weight management system of the body, including but not limited to increased energy, appetite suppression, and a reduction in fat cell formation. In addition to the functionality of this product for weight management, anecdotal evidence from consumers affirms that due to the taste and ease of use of the product, compliance is relatively easy, and thus the results may be enhanced over supplement-type weight loss products.
This white paper will focus on the scientific evidence used to support the formulation and use of Burn+Control Coffee as a weight management product. It will include descriptions and conclusions from various in vitro and in vivo trials showing efficacy and safety of the proprietary ingredients. This paper is meant to assist in the empowerment of the educated consumer, to determine the best weight management product for their needs.
See for yourself the Weight Loss Successes so many are having along with unexpected Health Benefits of Burn + Control Coffee.
Starbucks has nothing on our coffee. Well unless you count being overpriced, full of questionable ingredients, not to mention you don't get paid when you share their coffee with someone else (more about this in an upcoming blog). However, we think the best reason of all for switching your cup to Burn+Control Coffee, is for the way it can change your life.
Switching my coffee to Burn + Control helped me lose 100 lbs in 11 months
"How amazing is it? I was so skeptical. I actually said 'there's no way this will work the way I need it too, and I'm not wasting my money. I don't have enough money to blow on something that won't work.'I gave up y'all.
I was so lost and broken, defeated by inability to lose weight or gain any control over my cravings. But with a little more information, and talking to some people whose lives had changed with Dollar Coffee Club, I decided that I had nothing to lose. I spent the same amount of money eating fast food in a month as it cost for me to invest in gaining my health and physical freedom.
I've lost nearly 100 lbs in less than 12 months. How? Drinking weight loss coffee and tea. I didn't change what I ate, I didn't and still don't work out, i just stayed consistent drinking my coffee and tea.
Here's how my life has transformed? Check this out:
- 90+ lbs lost
- 40″ inches lost off my body (almost 2 feet from my waist)
- 4 pant sizes dropped
- dropped cholesterol from 400 to nearly 150 (normal levels) and got off my cholesterol meds
- dropped 2 points on my A1C (no longer borderline diabetic and off my metformin *lowered blood pressure and BP meds
- am able to sit in a booth at a restaurant without it being an adjustable table.
- had to empty my closet and get rid of all the clothes that are WAY TOO BIG (this is a first)
- had to buy new undergarments because all mine are too lose
- can fly without a seat belt extender
- tons more energy
- less pain in my hips, back, knees, and ankles.
- started menstruating more frequently (I have pcos and would be lucky to get 1 cycle a year) my hormones are balancing meaning i may be able to get pregnant much easier when I'm ready to have more babies.
- can sit on any surface and not fear I'm over the "weight limit"
In the past, weight loss was one thing I couldn't conquer, but today there's nothing I can't do." ~Brittany J.

Dollar Coffee Club makes me excited!
"I am so excited!
Not only have I lost 4 dress sizes. I am off of all blood pressure meds.
I can drink this weight loss coffee and it has lowered my blood pressure.
IT TURNS YOUR BODY ALKALINE!" ~Sandy M.
Checkout this success from Shawnna L …
"My name is Shawnna and I am 35 years old. My girlfriend introduced me to Burn+Control Coffee. I was very hesitant at first, because I am not a coffee drinker.
I told her that I would try the tea but was not sure about the coffee. I went to her tasting and I was shocked!
I liked the tea but loved the coffee more. I wanted to try this product for several reasons. One being that it was for weight loss, but more importantly I wanted to try it for my health.
I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I have been on medicine for both for years now. I have been using this product for two months now.
I recently went to my doctor and received a great report. My weight was down 13 pounds and my blood pressure medicine was cut in half.
My cholesterol was one of the best readings I have had in a long time. I feel like I have won the lottery!"
Burn+Control Coffee is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change!
Posted on Mar 29th, 2016 in Featured Coffee Diet Star
In May of 2015, I was introduced to the Dollar Coffee Club's products. I started drinking the Burn+Control Coffee and the Lean+Green tea. I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and the tea in the evening.
Since May I have lost 50 pounds. In May of 2015 I weighed 278 lbs. I now weigh 228 pounds. In May of 2015 I was wearing size 26/28 pants. I am now wearing size 18/20 pants. I was totally amazed when I went to purchase a new pair of pants, because my pants were getting too baggy on me. I was purchasing pants 8 sizes less than I was wearing when I first started the Dollar Coffee Club products.
I did not measure myself when I started. Now, I wish I had. Nor did I take any "before" pictures. I just have the one with my grandmother. I didn't like having any pictures taken of me.
I have been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. All my numbers have decreased in the last two labs I have had done. My doctor told me, I do not know what you are doing, but keep doing it. He is pleased with the change. My hopes in losing weight is to get off the diabetes medication and high blood pressure medication that I am currently taking.
Since using the Burn+Control Coffee, I do not eat out very much. I choose to cook my own meals instead. So I have discovered that my stomach does not tolerate fried foods very well. I have also discovered that since losing weight this way, and doing it gradually I feel that I will be able to maintain my weight loss.
I still have a lot further to go, I realize this. But I also have confidence that I can do it. Burn+Control makes it easy and doable. It is not a diet, it is assistance in a new life change for myself. Thank you for helping me in making this wonderful change. ~Susan S.
I thought I was going to be obese for the rest of my life!
Posted on Feb 26th, 2016 in Featured Coffee Diet Star
"Obesity… It's one of those problems to add on to the list that America's been dealing with for years now. Statically speaking, around the year 2010, about 70% of adults are consisted overweight or obese.
I can speak for myself, cause it's definitely been something I've dealt with ever since I was in elementary school. Because of it, I've lost so much self confidence, lack of social skills, and in some cases even depression. It's one of those things that really made me insecure mentally and even physically.
It was always hard talking to people at school, because I was always paranoid, and it even got to the point where I was scared to take off my shirt in public like at beaches, water parks, and so on. It was always an ongoing battle for me. A couple of times I even accepted defeat, and thought I was going to be obese for the rest of my life.
I underwent a few phases and tried to lose weight through exercise and dieting. But at that point, I had no will power and lacked self discipline. Throughout school, I was always teased, made fun of, and left out all because of my physical appearance. When I graduated high school, I weighed approximately 236 lbs. Throughout the summer, I was always depressed on the inside. Because every time I looked into the mirror, it was a constant reminder of how I looked on the outside and a true representation of being overweight.
September of 2015, I was about to start my first year in college my mom introduced me to Burn+Control Coffee. My mom told me about this coffee and said it could be a new beginning, the answer to all of my questions to losing weight. So I decided to give it a shot. The first month had passed. October 1st I instantly saw results. Because of this significance, it strived me to work harder and finally fight through this predicament that I had been dealing with ever since I was 9 years old. I started going to the gym five days a week for an hour. And the weight just fell off as time flew by.
It is now February 22, 2016 and I have lost 45 lbs. And I weigh 191 lbs. I haven't weighed that much since my 8th grade year in middle school.
The accomplishment almost brings a tear to my eye. I'm not even close to being done and the journey is uphill from here. Not only thanks to Burn+Control Coffee, but a special thank you to my mom. Thank you mom (Eileen Wilson), you helped revive my self confidence and made a big contribution to my weight loss journey. Thank you mom, I wouldn't have done it without you." ~Todd Fee
What a difference 90 days can make!!
Posted on Jun 29th, 2016 in Featured Coffee Diet Star
"So, if I haven't seen you since I moved back to Toronto in October of last year, you had no clue that I returned from NY unhealthy, overweight, and depressed.
None of my clothes fit and I refused to go shopping for new clothes in my 'then' size, I refused to post any full body pics on social media, and I was even highly selective of the pics I posted of my face because to me, my round and undefined face was not what I was used to seeing.
Only a handful of months later, I am excited to again be fitting in my old clothes, shopping for bikini's (of all things) and feeling great! If I wasn't talking about myself, I definitely would believe it. But man, what a difference 90 days can make!!" ~ Chantel
If every journey begins with a single step, then every transformation begins with a single stick (of Burn+Control Coffee).

Changing My Cup to Burn+Control has Truly Changed My Life
Posted on Mar 18th, 2016
"In 2012, I was diagnosed with a tumor in my head, and all my doctors told me was that I needed to lose weight. It was difficult, as I had tried many things, diets, etc, but nothing worked.
When a friend called to tell me they were doing Burn+Control Coffee and suggested I should try it, I was more than hesitant.
I started drinking the coffee November 2013. After my first visit back to the doctor, she told me she saw some improvement.
By April 2014, she told me I was improving and the tumor was shrinking. She asked me what I was doing. I told her about the coffee. I told her one of the herbs (in the coffee) is meant to bring more oxygen to the body. She said migraines happen because of lack of oxygen to the brain, and to continue drinking the coffee. By June, I was cleared to fly again.
Today I had my yearly visit, and all my tests were great. My meds are being cut to a half tablet, and she thinks in six weeks I will be TOTALLY MEDICATION FREE!!
And to think, all I've done is to change my coffee to Burn+Control (1-2 cups daily). Thank you for making such a great product." ~Jean C.
Who knew that so much hope could be packed into such a small packet…
"My transformation journey started almost 2-1/2 years ago.
I found Burn+Control Coffee while celebrating my friend and her son's cancer victory. I saw a banner that said 'weight loss coffee'.
I said, 'yay right. I drink skinny cinnamon dulce lattes and I haven't lost weight.' I was impressed with the taste, but most of all the immediate results I experienced.
I initially lost 7 lbs in 21 days PLUS dropped 2 sizes! I was so excited because I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and had struggled with my weight for years. I have been a size 14 for 2 years, but today I am 15 lbs lighter since starting the coffee diet system in January 2016 and another size smaller.
Going from a size 18, tired, fogged mind, heart palpitations AND mood swings to feeling fabulous as a size 12 off my meds and normal thyroid test results for almost 2 years is priceless.
Thank you Burn+Control Coffee for changing my life." ~Blanca Navarro #nomorefog #nomeds
"I have been a fitness professional for 25 years. A few years ago I quit competing in body building and fitness competition and am now in my mid-40s. In the past few years I have gained almost 25 pounds. I did not quit working out nor have I stopped eating clean.
My body is no longer responding to weight loss regimens as it always has. I was on the verge of going to a hormone clinic to have my hormones checked, which was upwards of $500-$600. My husband introduced me to Lean+Green Tea and told me to give it a try.
What do I have to lose, right? I started drinking Lean+Green Tea and immediately began to see results. I began to have more energy within days and not jittery energy; my cravings for sugar and carbs decreased, my hair/skin and nails are healthier and I began to drop pounds within the first week.
I have since been drinking Burn+Control Coffee and Lean+Green tea for since mid-January, I have lost 15 pounds and dropped three pants sizes. All I did was drink it. So simple, so easy!" ~Bekki Jo Tressler
Researchers and medical professionals aren't the only ones singing the praises of coffee. Checkout what Kristin M had to say about her Burn+Control Coffee …
"I had quite the battle on my hands. Endometriosis had taken entirely too much from me, so I underwent surgery and a six-month injection process to get it under control. The weight gain was depressing for me. I had ALWAYS been small.
A year after completing the injections, I just could NOT SEEM to get this weight off. I tried exercise. Dieting. Pink drinks and pills, nothing worked until I found Dollar Coffee Club.
I had given up on weight loss, and just wanted to feel the energy. So I drank my first cup of Burn+Control Coffee. I was hooked. I felt fantastic and to my surprise, my clothes were getting looser!!! 33 pounds down and I feel fantastic. I keep up with my kids, and at times have better energy than they do!! Thank you so much. I finally feel like I have my life back!!" ~Kristin M.

I'm so glad I made the decision to 'rethink my drink'!
Posted on Jul 8th, 2016
'Well, I went to the doctor on Tuesday June 28. I had cancelled my appointment from June 2, because I had assumed my blood sugar had gone up since I hadn't really been eating right. I had all the excuses ready, and how I would change my ways. But when I got the report, it turns out that my A1c was 5.9. It went down!!!!
When they took my blood pressure, I glanced over expecting to see the usual 140/88 but to my surprise it was 119/64. I was shocked, it has never been that low!!!!
As incredible as that is, that's not all. I had stopped taking my cholesterol medicine back in January, because my legs hurt so bad I could not have my granddaughter on my lap. Since they were checking my cholesterol this time I knew I had to "fess up" and tell them that I wasn't taking it. I really didn't know what to expect.
The doctor was shocked when I told him that I stopped in January. My cholesterol was an astonishing 185!!!! Since starting this journey, I have stopped taking shots before each meal. That is 3 less shots a day. The shot I take at night has gone from 60 to 45 to 25 to 10 and down to 5. The doctor said keep this up and I will take you off that one as well. My A1c used to be 9.3 it is now 5.9. I am so glad that I made the decision to "Rethink my Drink". I can look forward to getting older and enjoying my life."

Burn+Control Coffee has Stopped My Migraines, Given Me Back My Health and SO MUCH MORE! Posted on Mar 17th, 2016
Webster's dictionary defines Déjà Vu as "a feeling of having already experienced the present situation," and as I was partaking in my most familiar, daily routine of drinking coffee this Valentine's Day, I kept getting the nagging feeling that I had been here before.
So, I told myself, "Of course you have, Krishelle… only every single day for more than a decade!"
Then as I sat down to join my parents for breakfast and for a second cup of coffee, my intuition reminded me that it had been one year that my little brother, Donovan, had mailed me a Valentine's Day gift that would be the most lucrative gift I've ever been given.

Burn+Control Coffee is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change!
Posted on Mar 29th, 2016 in Featured Coffee Diet Star
In May of 2015, I was introduced to the Dollar Coffee Club products. I started drinking the Burn+Control Coffee and the Lean+Green tea. I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and the tea in the evening.
Since May I have lost 50 pounds. In May of 2015 I weighed 278 lbs. I now weigh 228 pounds. In May of 2015 I was wearing size 26/28 pants. I am now wearing size 18/20 pants. I was totally amazed when I went to purchase a new pair of pants, because my pants were getting too baggy on me. I was purchasing pants 8 sizes less than I was wearing when I first started the Dollar Coffee Club products.
I did not measure myself when I started. Now, I wish I had. Nor did I take any "before" pictures. I just have the one with my grandmother. I didn't like having any pictures taken of me.
I have been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. All my numbers have decreased in the last two labs I have had done. My doctor told me, I do not know what you are doing, but keep doing it. He is pleased with the change. My hopes in losing weight is to get off the diabetes medication and high blood pressure medication that I am currently taking.
Since using the Burn+Control Coffee, I do not eat out very much. I choose to cook my own meals instead. So I have discovered that my stomach does not tolerate fried foods very well. I have also discovered that since losing weight this way, and doing it gradually I feel that I will be able to maintain my weight loss.
I still have a lot further to go, I realize this. But I also have confidence that I can do it. Dollar Coffee Club makes it easy and doable. It is not a diet, it is assistance in a new life change for myself. Thank you for helping me in making this wonderful change. ~Susan S.

Dubbed "Pizza 101," the class has been created as an immersive learning experience, a hands-on tutorial designed to be both educational and entertaining.
The two-hour class is taught by SoLita & Mastino restaurateur and owner Steven Dapuzzo and offers guests an interactive chance to master the art of hand-stretched
The class begins like any evening out: with a complimentary beverage of your choice, including a craft cocktail, glass of wine, or pint of craft beer. From there, each participant will get his or her own ball of Mastino dough, beginning the process of making a personally produced and customized pie.
Next, watch as your pizza bakes in the restaurant's 900-degree wood-fire oven. The best part: After the instructed guide, everyone gets to eat. Students can grab a seat at a nearby table (or bar stool) to enjoy their hard work, and when it's all done, everyone is sent off with
Broward County pie-making wannabes won't be left out either: Fort Lauderdale residents looking to get in on the pizza-making action can look forward to a new edition of the class starting in this spring, when Pizza 101 classes begin at Beauty and the Feast, an oceanside restaurant located at the Atlantic Hotel & Spa (601 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd.). Call the restaurant to register for the first class, slated for April or May.
Pizza 101 classes are held on select Tuesday and Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Delray Beach restaurant by reservation. Upcoming class dates include March 23, April 13, and April 27. Classes cost $69 per person and include pizza tastings, your personal pie, and one drink (beer, wine, or cocktail). To register, visit the restaurant website. SoLita &

Out today as a freebie is another stunning remix from Sydney based producer PhaseOne. This time around, he has taken on the fierce 'Rot' from Australian band Northlane, and really made it his own.
Stepping into a completely different genre to his last remix of Carmada's 'Maybe', PhaseOne attacks this re-lick with relish, pouring in even more intensity to the mix. Utilising those powerful vocals and bringing them out via suspense-filled chords, the tune suddenly takes a much rougher turn with explosive drops and multi-layered drum patterns.
You can grab yourself a copy of this one here, and if you're a fan of Northlane, their new album can be ordered here.

Beware of Unclaimed Property Postcards? Maybe Not!
Something about it seemed fishy, so, I did a little research and found, lo and behold, it is probably a scam! Surprise, surprise! But, then, maybe not. . .
According to the South Dakota Treasurer's Office;
"State Treasurer Rich Sattgast warns South Dakotans to ignore suspicious postcards labeled "Unclaimed Property Notification."
"These solid blue, green, yellow or orange cards with a Denver postmark have been sent to various states including South Dakota.
"These postcards are not from South Dakota's Unclaimed Property Division or by any other South Dakota state agency," said Sattgast.
"The cards tell recipients to call a toll-free number and enter in a personal identification number provided on the postcard. A recorded message then instructs the caller to search a website for unclaimed property.
"Sattgast reminds South Dakotans that the state treasurer's office does not ask citizens to provide personal information through the use of a pre-recorded messaging system or charge a fee to return lost funds, both common scams related to unclaimed property.
If you believe you do have unclaimed property, visit www.sdtreasurer.gov or call the treasurer's office and speak to an Unclaimed Property representative directly at 1-866-357-2547."
Just for fun, I called the number and entered the personal ID number. A lady's voice advised me to begin my search by visiting "unclaimed.org". Well, gee; why didn't they just put that on the post card? Who knows?
Again I searched; this time, for "is unclaimed.org legitimate?". It is, so it would seem. AARP lists it as one source of finding out if you have money or property waiting to be claimed. It says, "Just check Unclaimed.org, MissingMoney.com or contact the state treasurer's office in every state where you've lived."
AARP goes on to say, "Similar warnings about fraudsters with names that seem reassuringly legit have been issued in other states. In emails, phone calls and sometimes mailed letters, they may pose as or claim ties to government officials or the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA), a real organization that represents state officials who manage unclaimed property programs." (NAUPA is the organization associated with MissingMoney.com.)
Scambusters.org also acknowledges NAUPA as legitimate.
To make your treasure hunt easier, start here and happy hunting!
By the way, I didn't find anything under my name, but there was unclaimed property for several family members.

Present throughout Geoff Dyer's ANOTHER GREAT DAY AT SEA is a desire to be subsumed totally in one subject or task, anything that will obliterate the ego and its demand for a paralyzing abundance of choices.
You don't have to know how you swing the bat, you just have to do it. Later on, you have to step back and pretend you know what the fuck you're doing and that you have a theory about it.

Vimeo starts funding indie films to broaden its on demand platform — paidContent
Interesting move by Vimeo. Content is still king, it seems, and also this seems like a good plan to cheaply get an influx of stuff on Vimeo. The terms of the deal are very fair to creators, too.

There is a time for work… and there is a time to rest. How refreshed are you to undertake the work of the Lord? In today's passage Jesus declares Himself to be "Lord of the Sabbath." He also declares that the Sabbath was made for man… not man for the Sabbath. Laying aside the issues of when, where and how we celebrate it… the Sabbath was made for us. We are made for the rhythm of rolling up our sleeves for 6 days, followed by kicking back for one. Our bodies need it. Our souls need it. As Bill Hybels once warned, we need not let "the way we do the work of God, destroy the work of God within us."
Leslie Flynn once "likened the Sabbath to seven unmarried brothers who lived together in a large house. Six went out to work each day but one stayed home. He had the place all lit up when the other six arrived home from work. He also had the house warm, and most importantly, had a delicious, full-course dinner ready for his hungry brothers.
One day the six brothers decided that the one that had been staying home should go to work. "It's not fair," they said, "for the one to stay home while the others slaved at a job." So they made the seventh brother find work too. But when they all came home the first night, there was no light, nor was there any warmth, and worst of all, there was no hearty dinner awaiting them. And the next night the same thing: darkness, cold, hunger. They soon went back to their former arrangement.
"[It's} the day of rest and worship that keeps the other six bright, warm, and nourishing," said Flynn. "When we desecrate the Lord's Day, we only hurt ourselves." (Robert J. Morgan (More Real Stories For the Soul, pp. 58-59.)
The Sabbath was made for you. And Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. Find Him there.

A nuclear engineer researches and designs the procedures and equipment related to acquiring energy from nuclear power and radiation. They offer invaluable services to the public by maintaining power plants, developing nuclear energy options and even monitoring nuclear equipment that allows for the diagnosis and treatment of severe medical problems.
Nuclear engineers work on many fronts from developing nuclear fuel to designing power sources in ships and spacecrafts. They explore and develop the nuclear processes involved with industry and the medical field.
Nuclear Engineers earn degrees based on their area of specialty and the level of work they'd like to do, including:
While it's possible to find a position with a bachelor's degree, most companies utilizing nuclear engineers prefer a master's level of education.
A nuclear engineer's primary job description varies depending on the area of expertise, but most are expected to use their knowledge and abilities to solve complex nuclear energy problems. Whether they're working in the design, construction, development or research aspect of the industry, nuclear engineers apply their specialized knowledge of how nuclear energy is produced and the properties of radiation.
Nuclear engineering provides a wide array of opportunities for candidates who enjoy solving problems, often interacting with a team and working on the cutting edge of nuclear technology.
The greatest area of growth for nuclear engineers will be in research and development, according to the Federal government. Among engineering professionals, nuclear engineers are some of the highest paid with salaries starting at $68,000 and peaking out at $137,000, as noted by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The average salary for a nuclear engineer starting out with only a bachelor's degree is $61,000, which is significantly greater than many other professions for an entry-level position.

Gettin' Somewhere
I think I'm pretty much done with the left side of this image, yay. On the right side, I've gotten onto the clouds, which I'll be done with pretty quickly. I need to do a little work on the water, maybe a couple of trees, and finish the stone arch. I still haven't decided exactly how I'll add people to this yet.
One thing about using photo overlays for textures and things like plants and stonework is that once you start doing it in an image, you really kinda have to keep doing it, because it's usually difficult and time-consuming to duplicate that kind of texture to the same degree of accuracy with brushes. However, trying to do that duplication, you learn a lot about how things actually look. I'm trying to only use just enough photo texture to bring the photo "look" in, but then I'm painting as much of the rest of the texture as possible. I did this on the clouds, both the orange volcanic plume (where I overlaid an actual explosion) and the white clouds on the right, where I laid a cloud photo over the rightmost cloud tower, and then hand-painted the other two towers using the first as reference and to sample colors.

Learning how to implement organic methods into your gardening will express your concern for your health and the environment. Using these environmentally sound techniques means you care about your own health and that of your garden. That is a great trait to have. With anything else you can always improve. Here are some suggestions that can help.
Indoor plants need an environment that is between 65 and 75 degrees. In order to encourage proper growth, they will need that warmth. If there are times during the year when you would prefer not to have the temperature that high, another solution you can utilize is to purchase heat lamps for your organic plants.
Preparing a plot for planting a perennial garden can be done quickly and without difficulty. Use your spade to slice chunks of turf up, then flip each piece over, and spread wood chips on top to a depth of four inches. After a few weeks, you can then dig into the turf and plant the perennials of your choosing.
You must consider how much light is available when starting your plants indoors. If your windows are small or receive little light due to their positioning, a plant that requires little sunlight will be more comfortable and healthy. If you still are unable to get enough light to your plants, consider purchasing grow-lights.
After your seeds sprout, the containers do not need to stay as warm as they once did. Move your plants away from the heat as they grow. Take off any plastic that is on the containers to keep away from warmth and moisture. Monitor the seeds carefully so you know the best time to do it.
Flower Beds
Put an organic material, such as mulch two or three inches deep, in your flower beds. Mulch discourages weeds and helps retain moisture while adding nutrients to your flower bed. By adding mulch, you can give your flower beds a finished appearance.
Coffee grounds are good for your soil. Your plants will thrive from the nitrogen contained in the grounds. Nitrogen, along with phosphorous and potassium, is an important nutrient in the garden. It contributes to healthy and strong growth of the plant, but don't overuse it.
Make gardening efficient. Don't waste your time by looking all over for your tools. Prepare them all ahead of time and have them handy before you need to garden, and then put them back in their place when done. If you use lots of tools, consider using a tool belt or even just some pants that have lots of pockets.
Do not let your gardening chores add up. If you're too busy to do all those little things each day, there are some small steps you can take to not have all that work build up on you. If you put the dog outside, weed a few spots in the garden while your dog goes to the bathroom.
Within your composting heap, ensure that there is an equal split of dried and green plant materials. "Green" material refers to things like wilted flowers, weeds, leaves from your yard, and grass clippings. Examples of dried plant material are sawdust, shredded paper, straw, cut-up woody material, and cardboard. Don't include ashes, diseased plants, charcoal meat, or carnivorous animal waste.
When you want to harvest the produce in your organic garden, always have an old laundry basket to hand. A laundry basket will act as a strainer for your produce. Rinse off your produce while it's in the laundry basket, and any excess water will be strained out through the basket's holes.
You probably already have the skills, the tools and the products needed to utilize the above tips to create your own thriving organic garden. Awesome! These tips were specifically crafted to enhance your organic gardening techniques. A gardener should never be done learning! Try new things, and keep looking for more resources as you progress with your garden.

Colorado Avalanche centre Matt Duchene named NHL rookie of the month
NEW YORK - Colorado Avalanche centre Matt Duchene was named National Hockey League rookie of the month Tuesday.
He led all rookies in scoring with 13 points (five goals, eight assists) last month. Duchene has 27 points (11-16) in 43 games this season.
Anaheim Ducks right-winger Dan Sexton, New Jersey Devils right-winger Nicklas Bergfors, Colorado left-winger T.J. Galiardi, Buffalo Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers and Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard were also considered.
Duchene, a native of Haliburton, Ont., was the third overall selection in last year's NHL entry draft.

TrustMovies is pleased to report that Hansen-Løve's new film THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN (Le père de mes enfants) is an unqualified success on every front -- as narrative, as filmmaking based-on-life, and as a film about family, coming-of-age, cinema itself -- and the very difficult job of being a producer. In fact, the behind-the-scenes explorations of how films come about and problems are resolved (or not, see below) is as good as I have ever seen. The filmmaker, shown at right, does not take the easy, satirical view of this (no need, really, as moviemaking/moviemakers so often provide instant satire of their own accord), nor does she subscribe to any dark/tragic view of "art undone" by commerce or hubris. No. The filmmaker's strengths appear to be her equanimity, her ability to see clearly the big picture and the small and to weight nothing down unduly via her own prejudices. (I am sure she must have these but she either holds them back or keeps them well out of our view.)
Chiara Caselli, above), who must come to terms with what has happened and continue with their life. How all this is accomplished, which intertwines with other stories (a young screenwriter and his screenplay, what will happen to Canvel's movie projects in various stages of completion) is brought to fruition without any rushing or undue "happy endings." Hansen-Løve never loses her sense of reality -- and the constant change and stasis, disappointment and growth that accompany it.
Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, shown above -- I have seen in smaller roles (Les destinées, À vendre). Here he comes into his own, and I cannot imagine that Humbert Balsan, himself an actor in his early career, would not be pleased with this terrific performance.
Alice de Lencquesaing (good in Summer Hours, here she simply shines), Alice Gautier and Manelle Driss -- who range from late adolescence to quite young. It is rare to see such accomplished, honest performances from child actors of any age. (I am guessing that Alice de Lencquesaing -- below, right -- must be the real-life daughter of star Louis-do, and that both are now part of the Olivier Assayas stable of actors, from which Ms Hansen-Løve, as M. Assayas' life-partner, can conveniently draw.)
gard as those of another fine French filmmaker: François Truffaut.
IFC Films begins its theatrical run on Friday, May 28, and in also avialable via IFC On-Demand starting today, May 26. In New York City, you can see it NYC at Lincoln Plaza Cinema and the IFC Center (it opened in Los Angeles last week!), and for the "if", "how" and "when" of On-Demand, click here and follow directions....
I really loved this movie, and though I enjoyed your earlier film, All Is Forgiven, to some extent, it didn't particularly move me. So I wasn't sure what to expect from The Father of My Children. But it seems to me that in terms of filmmaking, this one is a big step up for you. One of the most striking things about your movie is the amazing performances you got from the children in the film. They were all very real, life-like, believable -- but also quite specific. Maybe this comes from both your casting choices and in the way you worked with them. Can you talk a little about this?
Thank you for this… (Mia gives a modest little laugh).
After the screening, by the way, all the people around me were also saying the same thing.
Oh… my English is so poor I can not express everything I want to say. (So, from here on in, she says what she can and the translator handles the rest.) When I wrote this film, I knew the key – the children -- would have a very important part in this. From my first experience on the first film, it was the great pleasure I had to work with children. Especially when they have the possibility to be very free and to invent things. I don't like improvisation. I don't really trust it in general. When I see it too much in films, I don't like this because I feel that the actors -- it is like they are treading water.
I feel the same way! I am not a fan of improvisation, either.
I used to write plays, way back when, and I didn't really like it when actors improvised. But occasionally, by accident, a line would come out that was absolutely brilliant, and you can't say "No" to that. So I guess improvisation does have its uses.
The thing that I experienced with the children in this film, was a certain... not exactly a method, but it is really can be an interesting way to work. I don't have a specific method for working in improvisation, but it must be a limited and structured improvisation that, in a way, leads the children back to their characters. The most important thing to me, when working with children, is to give them the time they need to work. You may find this very banal and obvious, but I think that not so many filmmaker work like this – to give children TIME! To have the time to give to things that need to be done. This is what I made clear with my producer from the start: The most important thing, the luxury of the film, will be the time. I can have no limits to the time I spend with them. To make, for instance, very long, ten-minutes shots. To do this again and again, if I think it is interesting.
It is not like the children were not good; they were good from the start. The thing that is important first, is the choice of the children. I just chose children who had nothing to do with cinema They had a kind of viriginity and real innocence in terms of cinema. They were very grave -- they had some kind of maturity -- but innocence at the same time. The most important thing was that we were able to work a lot on each scene and reinvent that scene. To reinvent the film progressively. I feel I found the way into their "interiority," you know? When I work with children, I find the real meaning of making films! Because they bring freedom, disorder, fantasy -- real life -- to the film. This is why I make films -- I make them in the quest of life and truth. And I find I can do this best by working with children.
Well, this certainly came through! The way the children interact with the man and woman who played their mom and dad was so interesting, as well. Both actors seemed so right and real with the kids.
My grandkids are 5 and 2, and while they have no interest in acting that I know of, I would certainly trust them with a filmmaker like you. I think they would learn about life and cinema -- at the same time as they were acting. And they would also be protected.
Thank you so much! I want to talk about a scene I really like – the next to last scene where the children go to their father's office for the first time. In effect we had no specific script for the children, but we didn't really need it to bring the scene alive. The children were asked to just discover that place. It came together by following them, seeing how they observed and what they did. A lot of the dialog spoken just came from them, as they discovered this new place. Then, in the very last scene with they are leaving and they discover their father's cards, and the one little girl says, can I take one? And then another and another! Those comments also came from the children. (Ed's note: Just talking about this scene brings back to film to mind – and tears to my eyes -- all over again.)
Has the family of Humbert Balsan seen your film?
You must have seen the documentary that was made a few years ago by Anne Andreu…?
Yes, I saw it.
I saw it too, because it was shown here a few years ago at Rendez-vous. And I really loved it. Before I saw it, Humbert was just a name. But afterward, he became important in my mind. And now, with your film, he seems even more so. I don't know if it is like this in France, but here in America, if you are interested in film, the word producer... well, you don't pay much attention to that. Everything is about the director. And maybe just a little bit about the writer. But the producer? No, no, no. When I saw the film documentary, I realized more than ever how important the producer can be. And I got this same feeling even more from your film. How important it is to have someone in that position who is creative in his own way.
To me, the producer, when he is a very good one, is like some kind of father. When I met Humbert Balsan, I felt like he was a kind of spiritual father for me. So the title of my film -- Le père de mes enfants -- has really two meanings.
Yes -- and his children are also his movies!
The film has this ambiguity: both meanings. I know that this particular type of producer is the reason this project was so relevant for me. Because this producer is not the habitual cigar-smoking, driving-the-big-car kind of cliché producer you are used to seeing. In fact, he is someone who is himself almost an artist. What is interesting to see here is the real suffering involved. He is at the service of art, and he wants to be at the service of art: But then at other times he must deal with the question of money.
On the one hand, in the first film you have a character who is feeling very melancholy, reticent. On the second you have someone consumed by his work, very forward moving, very energetic. .For me, what happen is, ultimately at the end, this is like a mirror, the reflections come together at the same time.. The films reflect each other. Here at the end of this film, you have the adolescent who becomes the main focus, so it is a question of transmission from one generation to another. For me this really ties the films together. Both films deal about the passage of time, about losing your father and trying to survive. About love. Both films have characters who are not into bad feelings. And both films have characters who are almost the same – though in two different bodies -- who have interior beauty, and I try to capture this secret beauty, the interiority of both. The way they will survive the death of their father – in a sense they also grow morally within themselves because of the death of their father. Basically, I think both films have a very common problematic – but expressed in different ways.
Your comments really make me want to see All Is Forgiven again. Thank you so much, Mia. This was really a treat to meet and speak with you.

B2B email subject lines: 6 winning examples
Email open rates in the world of B2B marketing are notoriously bad – and while many blame this on poor data sets, we think unimaginative subject lines should also take some of the heat.
So we spoke to several experts to find out why creating intrigue is so important and why humour shouldn't just be seen as the domain of B2C.
'Don't put all your subject lines in one basket'
Who: Passle
Why does it work?
The team at digital marketing platform Passle profess to be experts at winning content, so it's unsurprising that they know what they're talking about when it comes to subject lines. This one had us at 'subject lines' – it's quirky, original and touches on a topic that the majority of B2B marketers want to know more about. As Passle's Ben Hammersley puts it: "Why not play with your titles by changing one word in a common phrase?" The results can be pretty impressive.
'The Phrasee 47th Newsletter Spectacular'
Who: Phrasee
Why does it work?
Marketing language software provider Phrasee has got humour in subject lines nailed. 'The Phrasee 47th Newsletter Spectacular' went down extremely well, and CEO Parry Malm puts it down to the fact that they're "not afraid to be a bit nuts sometimes and take the mick out of ourselves". "I mean, what the heck is a 47th Newsletter Spectacular?" he goes on to ask. "It's a random number and basically makes no sense – as a result it got one of the highest open rates and got shared on social channels more than any of out other newsletters. Why? Because it's not boring."
'Shhh… see your exclusive sneak preview'
Who: Alexandra
Why does it work?
Alexandra, a provider of workwear, corporate clothing and uniforms, triumphed at the Dotties earlier this year, walking away with 'Best email subject line'; their entry's all about suspense and exclusivity. "The quality of entries for the 'Best subject line' award gave huge encouragement for how seriously businesses are taking something so critical to successful email marketing," says Dotmailer's client services director Skip Fidura. "We saw better use of A/B testing, smarter analysis of results, and some very creative, bold approaches to companies going outside their comfort zone. This was certainly true of the winner, Alexandra, who took a brave approach to testing and saw significant traction compared to previous efforts."
'Have YOU ever stolen something?'
Who: Movable Ink
Why does it work?
Asking questions in a subject line is a great way of driving engagement, but email marketing provider Movable Ink takes it one step further with this provocative subject line. "Recipients will be intrigued and therefore more likely to open," explains Guy Hanson, chairman of the DMA Email Council and senior director, professional services at Return Path. "The use of 'you' also puts the recipient firmly in the middle of the conversation. We've done loads of research that validates the fact email subscribers prefer this to be spoken at by the sender (I/we etc). The use of block capitalisation makes this approach even more effective."
B2B Marketing Conference 2017: Account-Based Everything
Why and how to make ABM your number one growth marketing tool. Now in its ninth year, the annual B2B Marketing Conference is one of the most highly anticipated dates in the B2B calendar. It throws a spotlight on one of the hottest topics of the moment for marketing and sales professionals in B2B, ABM.
'The open rate for this subject line will be above average'
Who: Touchstone
Why does it work?
Provider of business software integration and support Touchstone demonstrates a deep understanding of their marketer audience, who as we know are pretty obsessed with benchmark metrics. We imagine their response to such a subject line would be: 'Really? Why?' "In addition, the subject line links well with the pre-header text ('Touchstone – subject line testing made easy')," explains Guy. "Having attracted interest with the subject line they're setting the scene for the next step."
'Correction: 76% of marketers say programmatic spend will increase by 2017'
Who: Anyone and everyone
Why does it work?
Even when you've made an email blunder (something every marketer dreads) consider the fact that there could very well be an upside. Vanessa McGreevy from ResponseSource tells us that the most opened emails they send are those labelled 'Correction': "No matter how small the error may be (a date, link or spelling), I think it must appeal to our latent schadenfreude or perhaps just a sense of curiosity. After all, if it was worth correcting maybe it's worth reading!"

Men's Golf: Wildcats face uphill battle at NCAA Regionals
May 15, 2016
Men's Golf
Northwestern's postseason run continues Monday, as the Wildcats open their NCAA Regional Tournament in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
NU is the No. 9 seed out of 14 teams at the regional and will deal with the likes of No. 1 seed Oklahoma State and No. 2 seed Clemson, the Nos. 5 and 7 ranked teams in the nation, respectively.
"The nice thing about the NCAA Championship is that everybody starts on a level playing field," coach David Inglis said. "It doesn't matter what your ranking is going in here, nobody has an advantage, it's whoever plays the best over the next three days gets to go. We're just trying to play our way out."
The Cats have been on a three-week break since their sixth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships, which earned them a spot in the regionals. They failed to clinch a spot last year following a seventh-place finish at Big Tens.
If NU finishes in the top five this week, the team will qualify for the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, making its first appearance in the final since 2011.
"Our team's finally playing some good golf, we've got some momentum from Big Tens," sophomore Dylan Wu said. "We just need to play three solid rounds. Having the NCAA Championships in Oregon, my home state, and playing a golf course I've played before quite often, it would be amazing."
In addition to Wu, the lineup for NU will feature seniors Josh Jamieson and Andrew Whalen, sophomore Sam Triplett and freshman Ryan Lumsden.
Together, the group has played the Stillwater course zero times in their collegiate careers, only seeing the course for the first time in a practice round the day before the tournament.
"The greens were maybe as fast as I've played since I've been in college," Jamieson said. "They're pretty severe, pretty undulated, also they're all very fast. You've just got to hit it onto the right part of the greens. You've got to be smart."
With the three-week break, NU has had plenty of time to improve its game and the Cats have been putting in work in the meantime.
Jamieson in particular has worked to ensure his game is ready for the challenges he'll face in Oklahoma.
"It's just a long golf course," Jamieson said. "The biggest thing for me was just trying to get my irons in sync, trying to hit better iron shots. The rest of my game felt pretty solid, so I wanted to keep it up, wanted to keep doing what I'm doing with my short game, which has been pretty solid."
For Inglis, this is the first time he's taking the team to a regional tournament. However, his predecessor, Pat Goss, currently director of golf and player development, has been with the team through 16 regionals and eight finals in the past two decades.
Despite the challenges that come with the course and competition in Oklahoma, Inglis said he does not expect the team to be fazed.
"It's just set up for a true championship golf course," Inglis said. "If you play well, you're going to get rewarded, which is nice. You just have to have a lot of patience, and you have to have some toughness and grit because you're going to face some really difficult shots."

5 Signs of the Hustle Mentality (and Why My Neighbor is a Badass)
This article may contain references to some of our advertising partners. Should you click on these links, we may be compensated. For more about our advertising policies, read our full disclosure statement here.
Many large neighborhoods have a Facebook group these days, and ours is no exception. Our page is a place to share resources, ask questions, and – unfortunately – complain about each other from time to time.
The other day, however, I noticed a message that made me smile from ear to ear. It came from the mother of a local gal who is working her way through college. Here's an excerpt from what I read:
"With spring in the air, and spring cleaning a chore, please let us know if you have any children or adult clothes (regardless of the season) that you need to get rid of. Lauren continues to be successful at selling items to reduce her student loans, and will start graduate school 6/14. Everyone has been very generous. Please text me at {phone number} if you have any clothes or items to donate, and I'll arrange pick up. What she is not successful at selling, we will donate to St. Vincent DePaul or Goodwill."
After reading this message, I knew I had to learn more. So, when I did some cleaning a few weeks ago, I reached out to the family to make a donation.
Here's what I discovered: This gal is working two jobs and attending school. Instead of letting her undergraduate student loans balloon due to accruing interest, she's been reselling donated items on Facebook. Her mother told me that, so far, she has paid off more than $3,000 in interest and principal on her loans.
Related: Should I Refinance My Student Loans?
Best of all, she has done all this work on her own terms. She picks up donations from people's homes, figures out the most lucrative way to resell the items, then throws the profits towards her debts.
In my opinion, Lauren is one smart cookie!
5 Signs You Have the Hustle Mentality
I like to think my twenty-year-old self was a lot like Lauren. I wasn't always the smartest with money, but I did have one thing working in my favor – grit. In my early twenties, I wasn't happy with my earnings. So, I started cleaning houses on the side. With the extra money I earned, I was able to fix one of my biggest financial mistakes – the fact I bought a $25,000 car when I made less than $10 per hour!
I love Lauren's story for a several reasons, but mostly because she's chosen not to be a victim of her circumstances. Instead of complaining about her student loans and crazy interest rates, she decided to do something about it. And because of her extra efforts, she should get out of debt sooner and save a ton of cash in the process.
Lauren may not realize it yet, but she has an entrepreneurial spirit. And yes, she has the "hustle mentality" that is so important for overcoming adversity.
Do you have the mentality of a hustler? Here are five signs you might:
#1: You come up with new ways to make money all the time.
Entrepreneurs and "hustlers" realize that you don't always need a "job" to earn extra cash. If you have a hustle mentality, you're probably coming up with crazy ways to earn money all the time.
Related: 99 Extra Ways to Earn Money This Year
Believe it or not, our first "hustle" as a couple was this blog! While we didn't earn a lot of extra money at the beginning, this website is now my husband's 9-5 job.
If you're a hustler, you're probably earning some side cash somehow, either by reselling on eBay, babysitting, walking dogs, or taking surveys for money. When you're a hustler, you know that any skill you have could be turned into a money-making opportunity.
#2: You spend your free time trying to improve your life.
While a lot of people watch professional sports all weekend or follow television series like it's their part-time job, people who hustle usually spend their free time coming up with ways to improve their life. They may watch television and relax sometimes, but their main goal is getting ahead.
#3: You plan ahead for a better future.
A lot of people in Lauren's position would just deal with their student loans when they graduated. But Lauren knows something many people don't realize – that the steps she can take now can make her future easier.
Planning ahead for a better life is a hallmark of someone with the "hustle mentality." You're not only thinking of today, but you're planning for tomorrow, too.
#4: You don't wait around for somebody else to fix your problems.
Student loan forgiveness and "free college" are buzzwords used heavily these days, but people like Lauren don't wait around for the government or the Bank of Mom and Dad to save the day. Instead of waiting for someone else to solve her student debt woes, Lauren is taking the bull by the horns.
Every person who hustles like this adopts this attitude. Hustlers don't allow themselves to stay victims for long; instead, they come up with some way to make their lives better. But more than that, they take action.
#5: You know that doing something is better than nothing.
When Lauren picked up the donations from my home, she mentioned she had $40,000 in undergraduate debt. For many people, this amount of debt would render them helpless.
But people who hustle see things in a different way; instead of looking at a big number like $40,000 and giving up, they know that any progress will help.
This type of attitude can help you in nearly every aspect of your life. You may not pay off debt overnight, but what if you could earn an extra $100 each month? An extra $500? An extra $1,000? If you're a hustler, you know that your efforts will leave you better off – and that being complacent will leave you worse off.
Are You Ready to Hustle?
If you're tired of being in debt or not earning enough, Lauren's story serves as proof that nearly anyone can improve their lives. Even if you don't have time for a traditional part-time job, there are plenty of ways to earn cash on the side.
The key to being successful is the same no matter what your goal is:
In all things, you have to start somewhere.
Whether you're facing student loan debt, trying to build an emergency fund, or striving to improve your lifestyle, you can do this. And if you adopt the hustle mentality, nothing will stand in your way.
Do you have the hustle mentality? Why or why not?

Rough, tough and fearless. This is what describes this just two-year-old girl the best.
I've never met a kid that was still laughing after being thrown in the air as high as I can throw them.
She loves, and I mean LOVES, falling down from high things, going as fast as possible, climbing as high as she can.
When I drop her and catch her in the very last second, she squeals out her excited laughter.
Just recently I saw her 8-month-pregnant mother on the playground, going on the swing higher than I would dare, going down a slide giggling and waving her hands… all that with her big baby belly.
At least now I know where Bisant gets it from.

The Dow industrials fell more than 1 percent for a fourth straight day on Friday on mounting fears of a global trade war following President Donald Trump's promise to impose import tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Europe promised to act firmly and China said it would defend its interests appropriately if Trump followed through with his pledge of imposing tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum.
The blue-chip index turned negative for the year following the news and is now down 1.4 percent for the period.
Boeing's 3.8 percent fall weighed the most on the index as worries about higher costs troubled investors.
"The prospects of a trade war is growing and unless Trump's economic team can persuade the president to retreat from imposing tariffs, the markets would head for another melt down," First Standard Financial Chief Market Economist Peter Cardillo said.
World stocks tracked the Wall Street selloff into the close and tumbled on Friday, with investors flocking towards traditional safe havens including government bonds, Japan's yen and gold. Spot gold prices rose 0.50 percent to $1,322.76 per ounce.
At 9:37 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.14 percent at 24,327.61.
The S&P 500 fell 0.81 percent to 2,655.92 and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.99 percent to 7,109.78.
Eight of the 11 major S&P indexes were down, with technology index's 1.3 percent drop weighing the most.
Sectors considered safer during times of uncertainties such as utilities, telecoms and consumer staples were in favor.
Wall Street fell for the first time in 11 months in February, hit by worries that rising interest rates and bond yields would cool the economy and finally begin to draw money out of equities after an almost decade-long rally.
"The (tariff) announcement has also come at a time when investor sentiment is already fragile," Oanda Senior Market Analyst Craig Erlam wrote in a note.
"For someone so obsessed with stock market performance, he's taking a big gamble with these tariffs, the benefits of which are questionable."
J.C. Penney Co Inc shares plunged 9.2 percent after the department store chain missed same store sales estimates.
Foot Locker shares were also down 11.7 percent after the footwear retailer posted disappointing quarterly results.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by 2,136 to 448. On the Nasdaq, 1,923 issues fell and 445 advanced. (Reporting by Ankur Banerjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Anil D'Silva)
