My kitchen is probably the biggest power eater in my apartment: the fridge, freezer, microwave, oven, cooking range – they are all on stand bye.
Life has become one big battle of reductions. We all do it the wrong way. My ancestors lit a candle or later used gas. No-one really asked where the gas came from. Everyone had a so-called meter and you fed it with change when the gas was no more. You would be cooking a cake in the oven, perhaps the meat and vegetable were on the flame and suddently the flame got smaller and weaker and it was no more. It was time to put money in the metal box, the meter, to get your supply of gas again. The funny thing in those days was no-one cried to save the gas. People were not rich, but paying as you go seemed to be more manageable than having a monthly bill through the letter box.
Perhaps it was growing up in these surroundings that gave me a basis for not living as if there was a second world around the corner. If we left a room in our little house in London we switched the light off. It was a normal state of affairs, you save electricity. My mum remembers her mum as being one of the first in our back street in the East End of London to sign for the street to be opened up to lay the electric cables. We continued to cook by gas because the gas pipes were already there, but now we had an electric light and no longer needed to light the gas holder for light. This electricity was new, and my grandparents, as well as my parents, learned to care for it.
Growing up under these circumstances, it was in your system. I have now been married 50 years (next year) and I am still switching off the bathroom light when the bathroom is empty. The kitchen is the place where this electricity is mostly used, but our dishwasher is only in use from 9.00 p.m. in the evening, as we have half price electricity from 9 in the evening until 6 in the morning. This is the same for our washing machine in our linen room in the cellar and that is only switched on for a wash at 9.00 in the evening. The biggest wash, the white wash, is just 1 hour 20 minutes so I can easily hang it in the evening and it dries by the morning. Perhaps you might think this complicated, but our electricity bill remains normal.
I even recharge the battery in my wheelchair from 9 in the evening. Our electric life mainly exists in the night hours.
I am not an environment freak that wants to save the world, but just like to save my own money. I remember once seeing an elderly lady in the supermarket with her granddaughter. She was buying eggs and the granddaughter intervened. "No granny, not those eggs, they are not environment friendly. take those from the hens living in natural circumstances". They were 50% more expensive, but granddaughter was being kind to the hens If granddaughter had known what she was talking about, she would have realised that battery chickens are forbidden in Switzerland and they all have room to take a walk on their farms. I am also sure that grandmother did not have so much money to buy the more expensive eggs.
However it goes without saying that I am careful of what I use in my daily life and avoid using plastic where I can, or at least give it back to the recycling depot. Even our newspapers are collected once a month for recycling. Of course we have computers and a television, you just have to keep everything in its place. I switch my computer off and disconnect it when it is not being used: it is just common sense. I do not live a life of reduction, if I had wanted to, I could have become a nun I suppose.

This Stock Looks Scary Good
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Monster Beverage got some extra juice this week after a Jefferies analyst named it his "top large-cap growth pick" among consumer stocks.
The maker of energy drinks continues to be very profitable and has strong prospects for new business. Shares could rise on that alone, Jefferies' Kevin Grundy wrote in a report Wednesday, but the company is also in a position to benefit from potential tax reform and takeover opportunities. Grundy upgraded his rating on the stock to "Buy," and thinks shares could hit $58, up 27% from a recent $46.
Monster rose 5% Wednesday thanks to the endorsement.
China, the second largest market for energy drinks, could help with Monster's international ambitions. Coca-Cola owns 18% of Monster shares, and the energy-drink company could tap Coke's massive global distribution network, Grundy wrote. He predicts close to 20% annual international growth for Monster on top of 11% domestic growth, driven by new products like Mutant, a super-caffeinated drink, and Hydro, a low-calorie offering.
Coke often likes to buy companies outright after taking small stakes in them. If that happens, Grundy thinks Monster shares could jump more than 70%. President-elect Donald Trump may make it cheaper for companies to bring their overseas profits back to the U.S. And that means more cash for Coke to use for a potential Monster bid.
Plus, there's another possible Trump catalyst: Monster "stands to benefit disproportionately" from the lower corporate tax rates that the president-elect wants to enact, given that 90% of its profits are tied to the U.S.
Big Picture: Monster Beverage is one analyst's "top large-cap growth pick" thanks to its international and domestic positioning. And some new Trump policies couldn't hurt.

Purpose: To analyze the hepatitis C virus (HCV) burden in Lebanon and the value of comprehensive screening and treatment for different age groups and fibrosis stages.
Methods: We used a multicohort, health-state-transition model to project the number of HCV genotype 1 and 4 patients achieving a sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment or progressing to compensated cirrhosis (CC), decompensated cirrhosis (DCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver-related death (LrD) from 2016 to 2036. In the low/medium/high screening scenarios, the proportion of patients screened for HCV was projected to increase to 60%/85%/99%, respectively, by 2036. We analyzed four treatment strategies: 1) no treatment, 2) all-oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) given to F3–F4 (CC) patients only, 3) all-oral DAAs to F2–F3–F4 (CC) patients, and 4) all-oral DAAs to all fibrosis patients.
Results: Low, medium, and high HCV screening scenarios projected that 3,838, 5,665, and 7,669 individuals will be diagnosed with HCV infection, respectively, from 2016 to 2036, or 40% of those aged 18–39 years, and 60% of those aged 40–80 years. With no treatment, the projected number of patients reaching CC, DCC, HCC, or LrD in 2036 was 899, 147, 131, and 147, respectively, for the 18–39 years age group. For the 40–80 years age group, these projections were substantially greater: 2,828 CC, 736 DCC, 668 HCC, and 958 LrD. The overall economic burden without treatment reached 150 million EUR. However, introducing DAAs for F0–F4 patients was projected to increase the proportion of remaining life-years spent in sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment by 43% and 62% compared to DAAs given at F2–F4 or F3–F4 only, respectively.
Conclusion: An enhanced screening policy combined with broader access to DAAs can diminish the future clinical and economic burden of HCV in the Lebanese population and, for the middle-aged and elderly, provide the greatest health benefit with net cost savings.

Why You Need Camu Camu Berries In Your Life Right Now
Category: Health
The camu camu shrub is native to the Amazon rainforest and the berries that grow on them are trending at the moment for their impressive nutritional profile.
The berries are small, orange-red, and very, very tart when eaten fresh. Because the flavor is not terribly appealing it is usually found in powdered form, in pills, or as a juice, all of which are easily added to food and drinks. This exotic fruit is a super source of vitamin C and antioxidants, surpassing levels found in more commonly available citrus fruits. A teaspoon of camu camu powder, for example, can deliver up to seven times the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Camu camu berries also contain beta-carotene, fatty acids, and even protein! Free radicals (the byproduct of normal cellular functioning) don't stand a chance to cause mayhem when camu camu berries are around. Their versatile super powers are on display in many aspects of health. Following is a list of some of the more outstanding virtues of the camu camu berry profile:
1. Healthy gums
Your gums are at the frontlines of a healthy mouth. Gingivitis, periodontal disease, and receding gums are painful conditions that can be prevented with proper care. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids are two warriors that fight off gum ailments and keep your kisser happy and healthy. Camu camu berries' extraordinary vitamin C content is key for maintaining oral health. Add a half teaspoon of powdered camu camu berries to a smoothie and smile, smile, smile.
2. Anti-inflammatory properties
All that vitamin C in camu camu berries also acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. Combined with other nutrients such as amino acids, anthocyanins, catechins, and flavonols, it's unstoppable as a fighter of inflammation. One study showed that among men who smoked, drinking 70 ml. of camu camu juice for a week reduced two inflammation markers, whereas the same amount of vitamin C given to a control group did not have the same effect. More research needs to be done, but this is a very promising result for the effectiveness of camu camu in fighting inflation.
3. Muscle tone
The vitamins and other nutritional content of camu camu facilitate the growth and protection of muscle tissue. Adding camu camu to your diet, in addition to a comprehensive weight training schedule, is an effective way to help those muscle tone up and do their job. Not only that, the improved muscle tone plus the camu camu supplementation combine to ramp up your metabolism and turn you into a calorie-burning furnace.
4. Vision Health
Want to keep your peepers in great shape? Studies link camu camu to reducing the risk of developing some age-related eye conditions. The high antioxidant and carotenoid content in the berries help strengthen eye health and slows the signs of aging in vision. New research even indicates that camu camu can help prevent symptoms of cataracts and glaucoma. Start taking care of your vision with camu camu and your future will be looking brighter!
Multivitamins are great to fill in the gaps when your body is missing some nutrients or vitamins.
Additional benefits
5. Improves mood
Camu camu can have a relaxing effect on the body according to research. It acts as a natural sedative, which can be extremely calming for those looking to balance their mood or who are dealing with anxiety. This might be due to the high levels of magnesium and other vitamins that reduce inflammation in the body. For people suffering from depression or menopausal mood swings this fruit can have some positive health benefits.
6. Energy boosting
If you are looking for a natural source of energy to get you to the next level in your exercise routine, you might want to stock up on some camu camu supplements, as studies have shown it boosts energy levels. Very likely this effect is a result of the all-star nutrients packed into each little berry, such as the amino acids leucine and valine. They support healthy muscles, and can also enhance your overall physical performance.
7. Anti-bacterial
Unfriendly bacteria lurk everywhere, but camu camu is up to the job of fighting off those bad boys. Camu camu is a naturally occuring antiseptic and can protect you from many bacterial and viral infections, such as E. coli and some STDs. It also protects the good bacteria in your gut, which aids your metabolism and weight loss efforts. The amino acid serine, another super nutrient found in camu camu, is believed to be responsible for aiding digestion, breaking down proteins and polypeptides so they can be used by your body for maximum effect.
Did you know? Camu camu berries are high in antioxidants and protect your body against free radicals.
The essential vitamin for women
Codeage Women's Fermented Multivitamin is a premium formula made with real whole foods, organic herbs and fermented essential vitamins for optimal hormonal health, energy and digestive support. We've also included your daily dose of boron and omega-3 from micro-algae for enhanced cardio health as well as a synergistic blend of probiotics and enzymes for digestive health and wellness.
Vitamin A is an important vitamin for its role with bone growth as it helps stimulate bone-building cells called osteoblasts. Other functions of vitamin A include the formation and maintenance of teeth bones, soft tissue, white blood cells, the immune system and mucus membrane. Vitamin A palmitate or retinol palmitate is a form of vitamin A known as a retinoid (retinol) which is a bioavailable form of vitamin A meaning it can usually be used and absorbed by the body more efficiently than other forms of vitamin A. Vitamin A palmitate can also play a role in several areas, including your eye, skin and the immune system.*
We have also added vitamin B into Codeage Women's Fermented Vitamin. Vitamin B is great in helping you body convert food into energy. It is hard for people to get this vitamin unless they are including red meat in their daily diet. Vitamin C cannot be produced by the body and so it is essential to add this nutrient through supplements. It is however found in many fruits and vegetables and gives your immune system the energy it needs to live good lifestyle. Vitamin D is great for our bodies to absorb calcium and maintain healthy bones. Lastly, vitamin E is available in many healthy foods, however it is hard to get enough through a daily regimen. We have added vitamin E to protect and nourish your skin.
Our bodies need vitamin K for bone metabolism. Vitamin K is mostly found in greens such as kale or swiss chard. However, women from the age of 20 years old need about 90mcg of vitamin K a day and it could be difficult to reach that amount. We have added vitamin K in Codeage Women's Fermented Multivitamin and more vitamins to support female body functions.*
Miracle berry
The downside to camu camu? Still trying to find it. One should be careful not to overload on vitamin C, as it could cause digestive upset if taken too liberally, a possibility when using camu camu in powdered, pill, or juice form. Keeping track of how much you are adding to your meals is a relatively simple procedure. And, as with anything else, if you are undergoing chemotherapy or any other medical treatment, inform your doctor of this and any other supplements you are taking.

I am determined not to yammer about the election in today's post.
But I am also extremely nervous about... um... the thing I'm not going to yammer about.
Therefore, the order of the day is: DISTRACTION.
First, my recent interview with the Shelf Elf. The Elf Herself asks some great questions. If you could live inside the world of any book, which one would you choose? Please distract me by telling me in a comment!
Next, a must-see. If you only watch one of the videos in this post, make it this one. Posted in honor of all teachers (especially, you, Mom). (And ganked from Melissa Marr, who had it first!)
And now, ladies and gents: I give you Beethoven.
Finally, an awesome, um, prairie dog moment.
(You can tell things are getting desperate around here...)
Yep. So, doesn't that prairie dog make you feel like going out and voting for BARACK OBAMA? Especially if you live in, oh, say, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New Hampshire??! THAT'S SURE HOW IT MAKES ME FEEL!!
Sigh... hang in there, people. It's almost over.

My Cowgirls and Their iMovie
Goat tying is a rodeo competition.
You have to ride in on your horse, dismount, flank the goat, tie 3 of its legs, and make sure the knot holds for six seconds...all as fast as you can.
A couple of weeks ago, the girls participated in a talent show through our home school group. They made this iMovie and shared it on the big screen at the talent show ;)
Oh my goodness! It turned out great!
Check it out ...

Stenciled and Embossed Cards
Today I wanted to share a new technique that I recently tried - using embossing paste. I have seen this product and wanted to give it a try. It will take a bit of practice to make it work really well, but I really like the way it all turned out.
The first thing that I needed to do after purchasing the embossing paste was to figure out how to use it. I found a great inspiration video from Jennifer McGuire here. She has some great tips and you should really check out her video.
Wendi Vecci Translucent Embossing Paste
Silver embossing powder from Ranger; Clear and white embossing powder
Heidi Swapp Chevron Stencil
Spellbinders Flower Silhouette embossing plate
Memento Tuxedo Black and London Fog
Grey and Lime Green cardstock from my stash, white cardstock from Paper Trey Ink
Metal Brad (maybe from Memory Makers?)
LG Ribbon Bundle from 3 Girl JAM (Use the code "CP10" to receive a discount on your 3GJ purchases)
Hero Arts All Occasion Messages stamp set
We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper
I think I'm going to really like using this embossing paste.
Here is a video to walk you through the cards.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.
Did you know that there is a brand new challenge at 3 Girl JAM? It's the "All Things Spring" with ribbon challenge. You really should check out the rules and play along. I'll be linking this up!

CBCS Core Collaborations Series - Part 3: Law & Policy Initiative
During the 1960s and 1970s, the Community Mental Health movement greatly expanded the availability of behavioral health services for children and adults. However, the repeal of the federal Mental Health Systems Act during the 1980s resulted in sharp decreases in funding to support behavioral health services. The erosion of the community behavioral health system forced persons with mental health and addictive disorders into other systems such as criminal justice, juvenile justice, primary care, and education where they may or may not obtain needed services. This fragmented system of behavioral health services presents numerous challenges to the quality of care. The Department of Mental Health Law and Policy and the Department of Criminology have a long-standing commitment to the study of complex issues that are at the intersection of behavioral health services and the justice system. The Law and Policy Initiative is focused on finding innovative strategies and enhancing public policy to better serve individuals diagnosed with behavioral health problems.
This initiative was launched by the establishment of the de la Parte Endowed Law and Policy Fund to support research and education related to mental health law and policy.

Hello, I am building a Tiki 21 and will soon start painting the hulls (or at least the bottom half of one of them). I am thinking about painting her just like the one on the photos in the building plans (decks white, lower hulls red), maybe also skipping waterline and antifouling since I could do that later on, if needed. Now I have some questions about how the paintwork is done properly: 1. Is a high-grade 1-component paint like International Toplac good enough? 2. For the lower hulls I decided to go with Toplac 011 fire red which is hopefully not as pink as it appears on some colour charts I found on the net. For the decks I would like to go with some off white. Anyone knows which Toplac white comes close to that? Maybe Toplac 812 ivory? 3. Is 1 layer of primer and 2 layers of paint enough? 4. Is it possible to paint the whole bottom of the hull (even though International states Toplac is meant to be used above waterline)? 5. Assuming I would do the waterlining and antifouling now - how and in which order is it done usually, starting from the epoxy sealed hull? 6. How much paint is needed for painting decks and hulls? Thanks in advance for answering, Marc

Ivory is a good option 3. yes should be fine 4. yes, they are only saying to paint above the waterline because toplac has no antifoul properties 5. not quite sure what your getting at with this question.... but it doesn't really matter which order.... undercoat the whole hull. when completely dry mask the waterline and paint! Are you applying a boot top? 6. pass :D

Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
Hello Peter, thanks for your answers. What I wanted to know by 5. is, if there's a different approach of painting the hulls if I decide to go with waterline and antifouling instead of skipping it. I had a look at the homepage of Element II, a Tiki 26 project and her builder seems to skip painting the underwater parts and simply applying antifouling to the epoxy sealed hulls. So I wasn't sure how it is done properly. But I guess I will paint the whole hull first regardless of applying antifouling or not. A boot top looks nice, but since a Tiki 21 hasn't too much freeboard I think it's not needed. Besides I am already short on time. I may add it later on if I change my mind. Kind regards, Marc

Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
Hi Marc I see what you mean re question 5... If you are definately going to antifoul, then there is no need to paint the whole hull first, simply paint onto epoxy. It obviously means less paint required hence cheaper maybe??? But if you are not sure paint the whole hull go sailing and antifoul at a later date. cheers Peter

Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
I made up my mind. I will prime the whole hull, paint it above waterline and apply antifouling to the underwater part. Do you think it's necessarry to paint the interior of the "cockpits" (the section below the hatches) with UV-proof paint?

Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
I worked for a boatbuilder in OZ and he always believed that if you painted the interior of any boat with cheapily available exterior house paint (see local DIY store) then you couldn't go far wrong! Waterproof, hardwearing and UV resistant !
Wed, 05/26/2010 - 15:39#7
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
A fair number of folks like to leave the bilge area unpainted, as it allows easier visual inspection of the hull for possible water intrusion. . .Mine were already painted, but I can see the logic ;)

Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
I won't use "coloured" paint for the interior at all because I like the beautiful looks of the quality plywood. If needed I will use "clear" UV resistant paint to prevent the epoxy sealed areas from suffering.

Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
I have a problem. I have painted the hull two days ago and parts of it are still tacky, some completely dry. I have sanded the whole epoxy sealed hull (180 grid), vacuum cleaned it and cleaned it twice with acetone. My tools were clean, too. Weather was fine - warm and dry, and the hull is located in a garage. Anybody has an idea what could have caused that problem and how to deal with it?
Mon, 06/07/2010 - 00:41#10
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
I would not use acetone to clean the epoxy surface: soap and water, or alcohol. For now, you will have to wait longer to see if it hardens up. If it doesn't harden, you will have to scrape it off and proceed anew.
Mon, 06/07/2010 - 10:25#11
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
What's wrong with acetone? I always prefered it above water and soap since it evaporates much quicker.
Mon, 06/07/2010 - 16:41#12
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
Acetone will soften epoxy, as you likely know, so unless used like a tack cloth ([i]barely[/i] damp with acetone), I would worry about using it. On the paint, you used a single-part paint, right? So it's likely not the paint.
Mon, 06/07/2010 - 20:50#13
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
My T21 is varnished inside and it looks great. I'm, not a big fan of varnish the decks because you have to do so many coats to get decent UV protection but inside the hulls you don't have that problem. As already pointed out, you get to see what is going on with the wood and mine looks fine despite being 25 years old. I used underwater primer on the parts that I antifouled. I did just a couple of coats but I have been recommended to do 5 coats!! Simon "Tiki Sunrise"
Tue, 06/08/2010 - 12:03#14
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
Two pack paint? or single pack With regard to acetone tack cloth would be ok but if you were over generous it may have softened the epoxy that you had applied... as Kim said. Hope you sort it Peter
Wed, 06/09/2010 - 18:30#15
Re: Paintwork on a Tiki 21: Questions
I didn't know about acetone harming cured epoxy. Some painted areas feel less tacky or even nearly dry now. I will try to sand the hull within the next days and give it another layer of paint. Hopefully with better results... Thanks so far for your help.

What makes you turn and run faster than meeting a rattlesnake? For me, a skunk. I'm not that familiar with skunks, in general. My only dealing with one was when my dog saw one for the first time. Probably thinking it was a striped kitty she went for it and got sprayed in the mouth. I didn't realize what had happened until she ran back to me, rubbed her head all over my pants and threw up on the floor. I gave her the special hydrogen peroxide bath, but she still had to spend the night in the garage. Luckily, she was a smart dog and learned her lesson about striped kitties. It was one of those occasions you don't forget right away. Well, ever.
I was filling one of my bird baths at dawn the other day when a skunk came ambling right towards me. "Whoa!" I said trying to calmly walk back towards the house. I didn't really say "whoa", but for the purposes of this newsletter, let's just say it was "whoa". Same number of letters anyway. "Hey, hey, hey!" the skunk said quickly. "Get back here and finish filling that bath. I'm just coming for my early morning drink!" "Oh, I'm sorry," I said in astonishment, "I didn't expect you to be out this late." "Me, neither," the skunk said wearily. "It's been a long night of foraging and I've worked up quite a thirst. I'm Hibiscus, by the way." I stared at her, frozen in place. "Don't worry," she said. "You're no threat to me. Go ahead and relax." "Thanks," I said, still on my guard. "I'm Joanie." "I know," she said. "You're the one that talks to all the animals. I sprayed your dog a few years back, I believe. Didn't intend to, but spraying is our defense mechanism." "I know," I said. "It's a hard lesson, though. She stunk up the place for days." "Okay, here we go." she said with a noticeable frown. "One thing I won't tolerate are stink jokes and innuendos. It's just rude." "Pardon me," I said nervously. "It's just that we've always made fun of the smell."
"Let me tell you a bit about us skunks. There are five skunk species in North America. I'm a Striped Skunk, the most common in this area. I'm preggers at the moment. My kits are due in a few weeks." "You know," I said. "I don't think I've ever seen baby skunks." "I usually have around 5 or 6," she said. "But, I can have as many as 10." "Oh, great," I said under my breath. "What?" she said suspiciously. "Oh, nothing," I said quickly. She continued, "You won't see them out of their den until they're about 2 months old. They'll start to follow me on my rounds at night, sometimes playing outside their den during the day. They have to learn their survival skills by the time autumn comes when they leave and start their solitary lives."
"Just curious, how do I know if a skunk is about ready to spray?" I asked, thinking I'd better get to the important stuff. "Well," she said thoughtfully, rubbing her chin with her very sharp claws. "There are 3 visible warning signs. First, I stomp the ground with my front legs. Then, I face the threat directly, fluff up my fur displaying my scary stripes and scooting backwards to gain some distance. If the stomp and scoot doesn't work, I'll expose my hind end preparing to spray. We skunks can bend our bodies around so that our face and buns can face the same direction. This allows us to keep our eyes on the target. And, our aim is accurate for up to 10 feet! Or, I can choose to spray a cloud as a getaway tactic and run." "Do you have any predators besides humans?" I asked. "Yes," she said. "Unfortunately, our white stripes serve as targets for Great-horned Owls. They especially like our babies." "Oh, that stinks," I said carelessly. Hibiscus threw me another warning glance. "Oh, geez." I said, feeling a bead of sweat trickling down the side of my face. "Sorry about that. I-I do apologize. Please continue."
She looked at me out of the corners of her eyes and continued. "Let's get some facts straight. First, skunks are not nocturnal. We're crepuscular, meaning we're most active at dawn and dusk, which is why you are seeing me at this early hour. Another fact is that we are not the #1 carriers of rabies. Rabies have not been found in skunks in the Bay Area for over 20 years. In fact, according to California Department of Public Health, only 4% of skunks tested positive for rabies in the entire state of California from 2012 to 2014. And, did you know that skunks are great for your garden? Insects and grubs are a large part of our diet. We eat beetles, larvae, crickets and snails. Even Black Widows and scorpions."
"We're generally solitary except, of course, during the breeding season, roughly January through mid-February. We're not always in the courtship mood and, if pressed, we let loose on our suitors." "Ah," I chuckled. "So that's why we sometimes smell skunk during the night. You've let flee on Pepe Le Pew!" Hibiscus shot me an irritated look. "Oh, sorry," I said quickly. "I didn't mean anything by that. So, so sorry." But, it was too late. This time my apology was not accepted. Hibiscus began to stomp the ground with her forelegs. Her fur fluffed up displaying her bright white stripes as she backed away. Oh no, I thought. Not the stomp and scoot. I took a step backward just as her tail went up. Then, her body turned so that her face and bee-hind were facing me at the same time. This was it. My upcoming week flashed before my eyes. I would be bathing in the special hydrogen peroxide mixture for days. I could see myself tossing a match onto a pile of my clothes in the driveway. My best jeans, too. I would be sleeping in the garage for a week. My dogs would avoid me even when I offered their favorite treat -- cat food wrapped in bacon. This was a nightmare. "No, Hibiscus, no!!!" I pleaded, covering my face with my hands. Hibiscus calmly licked the base of her tail. "Oh, sorry," she said wrinkling her nose. "Had an itch."

As clinical trials increase in complexity, you gain more value from using each resource at your disposal wisely. Many organizations are turning to Business Intelligence (BI) systems, or software that tracks operations, leadership goals and grants, to gain a deeper understanding of how to improve their organization. While you may fully recognize the benefits that a clinical research BI solution can offer your organization, your leadership may be wary of introducing a new or additional system into your operations. Below are methods to help approach a conversation with leadership about the benefits of using a BI system that informs strategic decision-making to support and optimize your research operations, leadership and grant management.
Evaluate and Present ROI
Presenting the return on investment (ROI) of a BI system is easier said than done. Because organizational leadership is responsible for achieving goals on a timely basis, they often rely on immediate ROI to determine the ultimate value a system can bring to their organization. Using your current system, it may be difficult for you to calculate accurate cost saving estimates to your leadership. However, there are more ways to showcase positive ROI through various lenses that leadership will find valuable.
Focus your ROI discussions by speaking to a change in processes, rather than direct financial return. Process improvements have a lasting impact on long-term operations. Maximizing ROI depends on how much value you will get out of the system. Think about which insights will be most important to your leadership team by asking these questions:
- What questions about your operations will the ideal BI solution answer for you?
- Will it enable your leadership team to make strategic decisions?
- Can the software provide holistic summaries for leadership, and more granular trends for specific departments or management groups within your organization?
- Will the data collected arm your leadership team with reports for a high-level meeting with senior leadership or an external advisory committee? If so, how quickly can leadership run reports, view dashboards, and export data?
Software costs can extend beyond the price of the initial product. Some systems may have an additional cost for implementation, training, data migration, ongoing maintenance and/or administrative oversight that can dissuade leadership. Be sure to emphasize if your proposed system does not require any of these fees. If the system doesn't require a long and involved implementation timeline, explain to your leadership that you'll be able to realize the benefits of the system sooner.
If you can show that your proposed system can answer questions that will be valuable to leadership for not only operations oversight, but also for improving routine leadership workflows, your audience will begin to recognize the value of this investment.
Involve proper stakeholders
When you evaluate any system, be sure to consider different perspectives by talking to department leaders to learn what kinds of insights the system should bring to your organization. Different departments or roles within your organization will find different insights meaningful. By indicating that the proposed system is valuable to multiple teams and stakeholders, you will highlight the benefits it will bring. In addition, involve multiple stakeholders early in the evaluation process, you'll learn what needs to address to make your investment worthwhile and encourage a wide adoption of the system. For example, Forte Insights boasts thorough and easy-to-use dashboards that showcase analytics tailored to the needs of multiple roles at your organization, such as disease team leaders, regulatory managers and administrative personnel.
Promote Excellence
When you promote investment in a BI system, focus on finding answers to meaningful questions you cannot currently answer. When leadership dedicates the tools and resources to managers and directors of specific departments, the entire organization benefits. Often, you cannot anticipate the exact insights you will learn from a new system, because it may point to areas of burden or success that you never knew were there. Digging deeper by using a BI system, your organization can better understand how to reach its full potential.
To advance your institution even further, consider learning from other institutions. Leaders from multiple organizations across the country collaboratively developed and continue to contribute to Forte Insights' unique and valuable dashboards. This collaboration sparked new ways for showing data, that a single institution had never thought of before, to generate new concepts, methods and levels of productivity.
Presenting ROI, involving stakeholders, and showing dedication to finding a solution are all tactics you can use to generate buy-in within leadership for a clinical research business intelligence solution. Check out Forte Insights for a clinical research BI system that is easy to use, requires little to no implementation and answers the most important questions that impact research at your organization.

CURRIE, N.C. (WECT) - A couple eager to tie the knot after nearly seven years together didn't let this week's hurricane come in the way of their nuptials.
The bride and groom were scheduled to get married Saturday at Moores Creek, which closed Tuesday ahead of Hurricane Dorian.
Rather than call off the wedding, Claire Chris Guion decided to move the ceremony next door to a family member's home in Rocky Point.
"We knew we were getting married, no matter what, no matter where. The weather wasn't going to stop us from becoming husband and wife. Dorian didn't stop us from having our wedding," Chris and Claire Guion said.
The happy couple said their "I do"s Saturday afternoon surrounded by their 5-year-old daughter and a small group of family and friends.
They plan to do a celebration in a few weeks at Moores Creek with loved one who couldn't make the trip because of the weather. But until then, they plan to enjoy their honeymoon in Wilmington.

Minster Law required a solution to streamline the small claims process and automate answers to standard customer queries.
Minster Law are Yorkshire based solictors who specialise in personal injury support and accidents involving a vehicle or motorcycle. Due to reforms in legislation, changes needed to be made to streamline small claims processes and maximise profitability.
At its core, the solution is an API for the processing of small claims. It has a focus on maximising and automating communication with the customer through chatbot technology.
We began the process with an Eden Agency Sprint Week. The aim was to decide on a solution that would be simple and easy to use whilst maintaining a quality level of education, engagement and care. The result of the sprint was a prototype of the portal that was used for testing with the general public. Feedback was generally positive with some minor changes to take into account for version one.
The Minster Claims solution is a responsive web portal and social media communication platform. The aim of the platform is to allow the customer to take control of their case.
The portal provides the customer with timely case-related information and is a hub for all received and sent documentation. The customer can view an overview of their case, view accident/case details, book medicals and view the findings of the medical report.
The Minster Interactive Assistant (MIA) chatbot provides an engaging interactive experience and ease of access for customers. It does this by allowing them to communicate via a chatbot on channels and apps that the customer may already have on their device such as Facebook Messenger.
Customer's can communicate with MIA to quickly receive answers or get updates on their case. They can do this using their natural language (for example, "What is the status of my case?") and without having to email or phone up the solicitors, therefore saving time and resource for Minster Law.
The solution has enabled Minster Law to maximise their case volume and profits whilst allowing for the mechanisation and division of labour of the customers legal case.

I do not blog everyday- it's because most of the days I do not find anything interesting to share with my readers. And I do not care for the search engine bot's too.
So, creating content just for search engine is not on my mind. I am willing to give my readers something interesting and new. Yes, it did payed me great in the past and I am sure search engine (bots) also hates to read cluttered content with meaningless words and sentences. Those days are gone when you can create a blog with spinned articles and use Adsense to earn money.
What Google Loves?
We can never be sure what Google loves in a website- they are changing their algorithms regularly and moving the worthless indexed pages at the bottom of the search result pages. But one thing be sure- they are looking at how much time people are staying on a page and how many of them are visiting regularly. So- from those deep analysis it's easily possible to determine whether a content is good or bad. that's why you can rank top with a keyword and then fell at the bottom quickly. If people do not love the content and if your bounce rate is bigger- Google will penalize you.
Here's the SEO 101: Write for your readers not for the keyword loving bots.
Not only Google but other search engines are also looking to the metrics of people love for your content. If you create something good and interesting then it will be shared throughout the web like in social medias – twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg or StumbleUpon and so on. Your readers will do the SEO for you. All these sharing trends and matricks will give you a search engine boost.
So the rule is pretty simple- do write for your readers and people. Write interesting things that attracts people most. Otherwise there is nothing that can make you a successful blogger.
Here's and inspirational video for you from Darren Rowse.

That's me. Waiting to lose.
I thought I would update you on the weight loss efforts. I had about a 10-day period in the middle of July where I didn't stick to my program. I could list the excuses, but I won't. I have been doing better this week, but honestly, the program I am on is very strict, and while the weight loss has been good, it often doesn't feel worth all the sacrifice. So I am taking a different tact now. I am continuing to follow the program strictly for breakfast and lunch, eating very little carbs, lots of greens, and lots of low-fat protein as well as taking flaxseed oil and other supplements prescribed to me by my doctor. Then for dinner, I will allow myself a healthy carb (i.e. brown rice, whole wheat noodles, etc.). For my own sanity, I think my life will be easier and I'll still lose weight if I can fix casseroles with healthy carbs in them for my family instead of regularly making some meat and salad or vegetables for Mark and me while giving the kids the meat with some filler carb. I think in the long run it will be healthier for the kids, too. The other element that has changed is exercise. For about the last 3 weeks, I have been exercising more. First week, I exercised 4 times, second 3 times, this week 4 already. I am hopeful that if the program is a little easier to stick with and I am exercising more, I'll see results. They say if you stick with something for 6 weeks, it is likely to become a habit. I am half-way to making exercise a habit for myself again.
So I haven't weighed in a few weeks, and I don't think I will for a while. I am trying to watch how my clothes fit as a sign of whether this is working for me. Exercise always takes a while to show results on the scale because of the whole muscle weighing more than fat thing, so I think the scale may not show much at first. I think it will still be slow, but any loss is better than staying the same or gaining.
New Job
I am starting a new job next week. I'll be working for at a state licensing agency that is run by a church friend. For the month of August, I'll be working part-time. In September, the plan is to go to full-time. So this will also be a new routine to factor in to the weight loss strategy. This job is an answer to prayer for us. I have been looking for something for a while. I appreciate this job because it means working sooner, and therefore earning sooner; the owner of the agency will be flexible with my schedule which is a big plus; there are some benefits with the job.

Chicken Foot Souse
by Jefferson Munroe
- 1 lb. chicken feet
- 3 lemons
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 large onion, sliced into rounds
- 1 cucumber
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 2 pimento peppers
- 1 hot pepper (scotch bonnet or habañero)
- 1/4 cup salt
Sybil Teles
Wash the feet and with a sharp paring knife trim the feet of toes and any dirt that has been impacted into the feet. Cut one lemon in half and rub them all over with the lemon halves, paying special attention to any openings in the skin. Place the feet in a pan with the garlic and cover with water. Add the salt and bring the feet up to a simmer for two hours or until tender. Once tender, drain and wash in fresh, cold water 3 times. Chop the cilantro and pimento peppers and puree in a food processor. Place feet, onion, and cucumbers in a bowl and pour 1 cup water, juice from remaining lemons, cilantro mixture, and chopped up pieces of hot pepper over feet. Mix well and allow to marinade for 3 hours. Best eaten with your hands, this makes perfect (and exciting!) picnic fare.

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
At last years LibreOffice conference in Tirana I gave a talk on how SwClient is considered harmful. At this years LibreOffice conference in Almeria, I presented a lightning talk, giving some updates on the progress.
Additionally, with some recent idle changes not only the unocore directory in Writer is free of the error prone old SwClient/SwModify combo, but also the directories:
- sw/source/core/view
- sw/source/filter/html
- sw/source/filter/basflt
- sw/source/filter/ww8
- sw/source/filter/xml
- sw/source/ui
- sw/source/uibase
So far, it seems the hope I expressed at the conference that getting rid of SwClient and SwModify (leaving aside the core layout for now) seems to be quite doable and well worth it for the errors and fragility this will prevent in those areas of code.

Most companies are unable to fully satisfy the terms of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and about one-fifth of firms believe that it is impossible to fully comply with the terms, according to research by Big Four professional services firm EY.
EY and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) asked 550 privacy professionals internationally about their thoughts on the EU's GDPR regulation.
Most (76%) know that the GDPR rules apply to their companies as well. However, one-fifth say that it is simply impossible to satisfy the terms of the GDPR. About 44% believe that their companies fully or almost fully comply with GDPR only a year after it came into effect.
Hungary's National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH) said that more than 1,000 investigations in data protection cases were conducted between the GDPR's introduction and the end of October 2018, according to NAIH President Attila Péterfalvi. A fine of HUF 1 million has already been handed out to an unnamed company.
"As much as it looks like an impossible mission to fulfill the terms of the regulation, the Union will not stop backing GDPR," says Mihály Zala, head of EY Hungary's cybersecurity branch. "Companies must comply with regulations, in order to avoid fines. It is worth contacting an external company to complete the remaining tasks for those companies who cannot satisfy the terms."
About 79% of companies prepared for compliance through training, 64% appointed data protection officers, and 57% conducted technological developments. A quarter of respondents have already changed suppliers to complete the GDPR requirements, and a further 30% are planning to do so in future.
"In many cases, companies only cared about the regulation due to the expectations of their partners," observes Zala. "GDPR prescribes strict requirements regarding contacts with data controllers. Those companies who continuously fail to handle the information of their clients properly should not only expect fines, but they may also fall out of well-operating business networks."

Well years later.. the gear Knob was found amongst hes other bits and a while ago we had an attempt to copy it (weekend bit of fun). We've got a few copies and even though they're not exact and perfect, i thought i'd just share this bit of info on here to see if anyone else has the same gear knob? as i struggled to find a picture of a mk1 with one, besides an old article interior picture.

Honeys introduce Luxury Designer Beachwear by Porzia T
Porzia T designer lingerie label was founded in September 2008 by Paola Tessariol, a young and talented fashion designer who, after a long professional experience at the most prestigious Italian fashion houses launched her first couture collection. Porzia T lingerie has been available at the Boutique since 2009 and we are delighted to now introduce Porzia T Privata Beachwear collection.
Porzia T means luxury temptations: be spoiled by the luxury of garments dedicated to women's senses and pleasure, to their desire to seduce by wearing precious and delicate fabrics that indulge the senses and take them into a dimension of sophisticated intimacy, a private and malicious limbo where luxury becomes a daily pleasure.
The exclusive quality of selected fabrics and materials is enhanced by an exceptional handmade production, the couture sartorial skills applied to lingerie, the excellence of a sophisticated design: not just fashion, but unique pieces of art, elegant and refined symbols of the purest Italian style.
'Privata Beachwear' is the first designer beachwear line introduced by Porzia T, inspired by the unmistakable signature lingerie collection.The beachwear collection, which includes casual wear and accessories, stays faithful to the values of the lingerie line with sartorial execution in attention to detail and the renowned quality of being solely 'Made In Italy'.
Realized in innovative fabrics that are delicate to the skin, with a colour palette that ranges from ultra brilliant shades of green and violet and completed by an accent of timeless black. Embellishments of precious Swarovski Crystals are applied to all models within the collection and are coherent to the distinctive signature of the brand.
The bikini range consists of four models. The first, a triangular bra with long ribbon ties that delicately caress the leg. The second, a halter neck bra with culottes cut in a sexier sinuous silhouette. The last two, Frione and Ermoine consists of the balconette bra, inspired by the best selling model from the lingerie range. Both are elegantly draped over the bust leaving the sides bare. 'Frione' has a delicate ribbon tie that fastens at the front between the breasts and 'Ermoine' a detachable tie at the back of the neck that cascades down the spine.
'Timandra', the all-in-one costume, has triangular cups and a deep open back. The geometrical cut on the front enhances a sleek yet curvaceous silhouette.
The casual wear part of the collection consists of tops, beach dresses and sarongs. Considered pieces for pool-side lounging but that are also perfect for the most glamorous evening out. The dress 'Ofelia' and the top 'Olivia' are elegant simple forms with sensuous draped necklines. The dress 'Licorida ' and the sarong 'Lavinia' are completely draped forms that accentuate a slender but curvaceous silhouette.
As completion of 'Privata Beachwear' are the accessories. The wrapped turban with crystallized logo and the delicious 'Mopsa' bag. The 'must-have' items that complete the 'Beachwear Privata' look and introduce a new way of conceiving beachwear.

Science Fiction influenced designer lingerie collections by Pleasure State
This week has seen the much anticipated delivery at the boutique of the new designer lingerie collections by Pleasure State .
Aether (featured above) is the third in our Pleasure State collections, inspired by Science Fiction, Space, the 5 Elements; a universe miles away from reality yet enthralling, filled with mystery and wonderment that harness the beauty of the unknown and equate to something out of this world.This season, Pleasure State has taken this theory and captured the strength and essence of a sleek modernity, embracing the contemporary styles of modernism fused with Science Fiction influences and three-dimensional design. From the 3D application of the 5 Elements in Pleasure State White Label, to a Vision of the Future in Pleasure State Couture and the powerful, seductive Sci-Fi Goddess for Pleasure State VIP, the brand plays on the concept of modernism to offer collections that are powerful, yet glamorous, sexy and feminine.
This season, Pleasure State White Label has taken inspiration from the 5 elements and adopted a technical approach to portray them in a new modernity. Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water come together in a 3D application to create a collection with characteristics of fused modernity. Focusing on an organic approach, Pleasure State White Label conveys the soft fluid design lines to perfectly transcend a sense of youth and femininity. Aether (featured above) is the latest white label collection stretch woven emerald satin trimmed with a soft stretch lace and adorned with a crystal bead drop motif, imagination by the pleasure State designers that is just out of this world!

Just Before You Expire; Is There a Future? - @segalink
I want to believe it is yet another time to reflect in appeal to my generation again based on the scheme of things in our great Nation. ...
I want to believe it is yet another time to reflect in appeal to my generation again based on the scheme of things in our great Nation. I'm going outside my comfort zone to write and publish my thoughts hoping you will all leave your comfort zone by reading with an open mind. No doubt there may have been some things you have missed or may have wilfully ignored.
In history as in life, it is the successes that matters. If you were to start a political upheaval and let yourself be caught, you will hang as a traitor (we've seen one too many of these in our society, with Ken Saro-Wiwa, MKO Abiola etc). But place yourself at the head of a rebellion and gain your point, and all future generations will worship you as the Father of their Country.
Yes, life may be unfair. History may not even be fair as you may have noticed how the very best are buried and the worst amongst us are uplifted to the highest political position. This is not limited to third world countries but a political strain across the globe. Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that creates huge inequalities.
It is important to feel the anger without judging it, without attempting to find meaning in it. It may take many forms; anger at government's action or inaction, at life, at your inability to succeed or be fulfilled. Life is unfair. Death is unfair. Anger thus become a natural reaction to the unfairness of loss.
However mean we may deem the world, It is unfair, then it's fair. It's hateful, then it's loving. It's a very peculiar place on philosophical, metaphysical and religious levels. Although I know life may be unfair, I believe some of us have chosen to reveal ourselves one mask after the other.
I'm documenting this not because of the now but as a legacy to mankind, to be delivered to generations to come as a present to the posterity of those who are yet unborn. Let this message resound in the minds of people of diverse ethnicity, to my friends and foes alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Nigerians, born in this century, tempered by psychological wars, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which our nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed as of today, at home and around the world.
The industrial age built the trap we are mired in but it wasn't built at once, it took centuries to perfect. The seduction was just like those enacted by the past electioneering campaign that tore our fragile unity to shreds along religious, ethnic and political party lines. Seduced by the bait of decent pay and unimaginable rewards in riches. Seduced by the apparent security of the enclosure and once the gate was shut, we were kept in by the threat of shame, the amplification of risk, and society's reliance on more shinier rewards.
The industrial age has since faded away and been replaced by the connection economy- the wide open reality of our new economic revolution but most of us have no idea that we are no longer fenced in like our fathers. The fence is gone! We no longer depend on the Print media, we have news on the go as they happen via our mobile connectivity. We have been so thoroughly brainwashed, intimidated and socialized that we still stay huddled together waiting for instructions (as dictated by the homogenous slave traits in our DNAs passed from the Slave Trade days of our founding fathers), when we have the first, best, and once-in-a-lifetime chance to do something extraordinary instead.
Contrary to what you may have heard, I'm writing these to tell you that we are all created to do the extraordinary (art). Better put, we were placed on earth to make art. Why? Because we must...the new connected economy of our world demands art (the extraordinary) and will reward you for nothing else. It is not enough to graduate from the university, because millions graduate from the university yearly but we must distinguish ourselves amongst the crowd simply because we can...this is what it is to be human in today's world.
Unfortunately for us society has sold us the wrong message in deception, which suggests living life ordinarily and doing mundane things just to keep up with the Jones'. It has created a culture where we are constantly reminded about the dangers of standing up, standing out, and making a ruckus. Industrialists have made hubris a cardinal sin but conveniently ignored far more common failings: settling for too little.
We are so obsessed about the risk of shinning brightly that we have traded everything that matters to avoid it. The path that's available to each of us is neither reckless stupidity nor mindless compliance. The part that's available to us is to be human and do the extraordinary.
We certainly can't do the extraordinary when we justify evil all in the name of partisanship or prejudice. We can not also do the extraordinary while stuck in a period in our life where life may have seemed to be unfair to us because we did not have our way in certain matters. The certain thing about life is that it goes on...until we reach the end of our individual race.
The extraordinary also does not lie in finding fault n government or ensuring they fail just so we can say we told you so. It goes deeper than that. Nigeria remains our collective responsibility regardless of where our allegiance lies.
"In character and temperament, the African of this race-types is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, Lacking in self-control, Discipline (and) Foresight, (Full of) personal vanity, (with) little sense of veracity (fond of Music), (His) thoughts are concentrated on events and feelings of the moment, (and) he) suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past, (He lacks) the power of organisation, (and is conspicuously), Deficient in the management and control alike of man or business, He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility...Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future." - Extracts from The Dual Mandate (1926) by Lord Frederick Lugard (Governor General of Nigeria 1912 - 1918).What will you be remembered for?
The political calculations of 2019 and beyond is in the hands of each and every one of us within the age bracket of 18-55. It is time to be responsible and objective with the focus on Nigeria and her people. This is the time to tear the drapes and veils of partisan politics and be united as a people to avoid falling off the precipice. We are a great people in a great Nation and until we individually manifest we can not move on as a united people.
I'm committed to giving my all to the becoming of willing masses from every geo-political zone in Nigeria in developing an affirmative action towards galvanizing a critical mass of transformation leaders that will deliver correct political leaders and millions of enlightened followers that are easy to govern, difficult to rule an impossible to enslave.
It is time to begin the curation of a political atmosphere that guarantees that the most talented and qualified citizens run for political office and makes it impossible for institutions (electoral, political parties or groups) to impose their personal agenda on our collective destiny.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind. It is time to renew our minds and build our future. We Can, We Will, We Must deliver our future.
Stay tuned for how you can be a part of this great movement. Follow the blog by email and also follow @segalink on Twitter for further enquiries and information.

Rutgers edges out Binghamton for first win of season
The Rutgers tennis team narrowly won its home opener Friday afternoon, defeating Binghamton, 4-3, at the East Brunswick Racquet Club.
The Scarlet Knights (1-1) captured the doubles point and saw singles victories from senior Gina Li, junior Ksenija Tihomirova and sophomore Lee Levy to hold on for the win against the Bearcats.
"It's always great to get your first win and to get it done at home," said head coach Benjamin S. Bucca. "The ladies are feeling good that they got the team victory, but they know they have to continue to work hard and really build ourselves to play strong, competitive tennis when it counts the most."
In last year's non-conference meeting, Rutgers won decisively. But a much-improved Binghamton team gave the Knights all they could handle.
"It was truly a well fought match from both sides," Bucca said. "I'm proud that we were able to absorb such a battle and still come out with a victory."
Achieving this win was important for both the team's record and morale after a tough season opening loss at Penn last week.
The Knights showed strong performances in doubles, winning two out of the three matches to secure the crucial tie-breaking doubles point.
In the No. 1 spot, the team of veterans in ace Li and fellow senior Mariam Zein delivered a convincing 6-3 victory over Binghamton's Shea Brodsky and Alexis Tashiro.
Rutgers also produced a win in the No. 3 spot, as senior Lindsey Kayati and junior Farris Cunningham landed a victory over the Bearcats' Annie DiMuro and Sara Kohtz, 6-3.
"To combat the way they play, I adjusted from my usual hard and flat shots and had to be more patient to get the win," Li said. "With the new doubles format, it's very important to have a good start and come out with your 'A' game."
Doubles has gone from first-to-eight to first-to-six games and there are no more add scorings meaning the seventh point in each game is sudden death. This makes the games more intense and competitive, Bucca said.
The change in doubles structure hasn't affected the Knights significantly yet, but could as they pick up points in both matches this season.
In singles, Li delivered another resounding win in her matchup with Kohtz in the heavily anticipated battle of the aces, downing her opponent, 6-2, 6-3.
"Gina is really playing well and working extremely hard in practice," Bucca said. "She's looking to play her best tennis in what I think will be her most memorable year."
Recent transfer Tihomirova won her match with a close call in the second set in the No. 3 position, 6-0, 7-5, against Binghamton's Agatha Ambrozy, while Levy decisively defeated her counterpart Paulina Tafler, 6-3, 6-3.
Despite Tihomirova's small 5-foot-1 frame, she demonstrated signs of why Bucca was so keen on adding her to his squad.
"Kesenja has a great work ethic and is very talented while being an exceptional student and teammate," Bucca said. "She has all the qualities that have made her transition onto the team seamless."
Rutgers will look to build off this momentum in the coming weeks against some threatening opponents.
The Knights returns to action on Feb. 13, when they will travel to Princeton for a noon start.
Princeton is nationally ranked and has played Rutgers extremely well during Bucca's tenure, but he will make sure his team plays their best and let the chips fall where they may.
That match will be the first of three straight road contests for Rutgers, including trips to in-state rival Seton Hall on Valentine's Day and Army at West Point on Feb. 20.
"We structure the schedule so we will reach our peak performance when Big Ten play starts after spring break," Bucca said. "We have some exciting non-conference rivalries coming up, but we know the conference matches are what count the most."
