The position will be held by Candace Faber, who's led such hackathons as the city's Hack the Commute event last March.
Seattle announced a new specialized role in its technology team Jan. 7: the civic technology advocate. Candace Faber, who's led hackathons that include the city's Hack the Commute transportation hackathon last March, will lead the position, promoting open data use by local technologists, working with business departments to identify opportunities and educate.
Seattle Chief Technology Officer Michael Mattmiller explained in a city press release that the new position is part of an effort to improve quality of life for citizens. Will Scott, an organizer for Open Seattle, said Faber is an integral part of the city's technology community.
"She is the voice of social consciousness, and has already been instrumental in directing energy to efforts helping homelessness and equitable use of technology," Scott said. "We're thrilled that Candace has become a civic technology advocate within the city and [will] devote more energy to solving these critical issues. We can't imagine a better person for the job!"
Before this, Faber was the CEO of consulting firm Whoa Strategies. Faber led events like the Hack to End Homelessness, and the Washington Technology Industry Association's FullConTech. As government-community liaison for Open Seattle, Faber did much of the work she will continue in her new role: working with open data, collaborating with the city's technology firms, and helping the developer and civic hacker community.
From 2007 to 2013, Faber was a foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State. She served at U.S. embassies in Russia, Poland, Belarus and Afghanistan.

If you are planning a holiday and want to be able to do all kinds of great things, chances are it will be hard to find one place that has it all. Rather than rule out some of your favourite activities, choose a spot that's close to everything, like Noosa. Basing yourself in Noosa will have you staying in a gorgeous place, while also being perfectly situated to take advantage of dozens of awesome sights and activities nearby. Check out some of these great advantages to using Noosa as your travel hub and pack your adventure full of all the things you want this holiday.
A Luxury Base
Accommodation in Noosa is exactly the way your holiday sanctuary should be, luxurious, clean and relaxing, and you will not find more friendly or accommodating people than the locals in Noosa. Accommodation options here range from the high end to the easier to please, though whether you opt for the luxury resort or the quaint bed and breakfast, you are sure to be satisfied. After a big day of exploring, there is no better place to come home to than Noosa.
Diverse Beauty
Noosa itself is a magnificent area, with beautiful rain forest and stunning beaches, though you don't need to go far to find something different. Less than an hour away is the Hinterland region, where you will find a classic example of sub-tropical Queensland. The drive along highway 23 between Mapleton and Montville is a highlight of the area and offers unmatched views of rolling hills unfolding to the sea. For something different again, get on the ferry and head out to the World Heritage listed Fraser Island. This little piece of paradise is the largest sand island in the world and a landscape unlike any other, if you are staying in Noosa, you really should make the effort to get to Fraser Island.
So Much To Do
Basing yourself in Noosa these holidays will have you within striking distance of a massive variety of things to do. Noosa itself offers a lot, with horse riding, golfing, all kinds of water sports, and hiking to name a few options, though just outside Noosa you will find that your options become almost endless. You can go sky diving in Coolum, check out the markets in Eumundi, take a short drive to the Australia Zoo, or even head down to Mooloolaba and check out Underwater World. If you are missing the big city life, you are only an hour and a half drive from Brisbane so you can even head to the city, get your fix and still make it back to Noosa for sunset.
If you don't want to be bored on your next holiday, wishing you'd gone somewhere more exciting, head to Noosa. There is a huge variety of things to do both in Noosa and nearby, so it's easy to keep busy and find that gem you are looking for. At the end of the day when you just want a nice place to relax, grab a good meal and find a nice place to watch the sunset, in Noosa, the only tough part will be deciding which place to choose.

Yanks have a new shortstop – yes, in-Didi!…
Filling a position of need…
Finally, there is life in the Bronx! Of course, it was only a matter of time given the needs of the team, but today was a day of large activity by the New York Yankees.
The morning was greeted with news that the Yankees had acquired shortstop Didi Gregorius from the Arizona Diamondbacks, shipping starting pitcher Shane Greene to the Detroit Tigers in a three-way trade. While it's never good to relinquish young, controllable pitching talent, the price of a 4th or 5th starter (or possibly long reliever) in Greene to acquire a starting shortstop was a no-brainer.
Christian Peterson/Getty Images North America
Gregorius is not coming to the Bronx to replace Derek Jeter. He is merely the man who will be penciled into the slot created by the retirement of the future Hall of Famer. But truth be told, short looks so much better in the hands of a 25 year old than it would have with a 41 year old regardless of the achievements for the latter. Gregorius will bring good defense to an infield that needed help. He may not hit, but he'll hit better than backup shortstop Brendan Ryan. He may be headed into the season as a platoon with Ryan (per Brian Cashman's words earlier today), but Gregorius will have every opportunity to prove that the position is his. The Yankees are much better with his presence. Time will tell if he is a short or long term solution, but for now, he is an improvement over the speculated possibilities of Stephen Drew, Asdrubal Cabrera or Jed Lowrie.
SOMEONE had to take Jeter's spot and it may as well be Didi.
With Greene's departure, the obvious first question is whether this will motivate the Yankees to pursue Max Scherzer. While I would love the Yankees to pursue Jon Lester, it seems almost too late in the process for the Yankees to enter the picture since it has been speculated that Lester will choose his destination next week during the Winter Meetings.
My fear is that the Boston Red Sox will soon be touting both Lester and Cole Hamels in their starting rotation which is even more reason that the Yankees need a true ace at the top of their staff. Too many questions with the other starters so Scherzer is sorely needed.
It's Miller Time!…
In the morning, it was also reported that reliever Andrew Miller would be deciding his selection today. Later, it was announced the Yankees were his choice. I wouldn't say that they 'won' the bidding since technically, they were runner-up to the Houston Astros who offered more, but Miller felt the Yankees were the better destination. Of course, it helps that Miller makes his home in Tampa so it will be a short commute to spring training.
AP Photo/Winslow Townson
Miller's signing makes the most sense if the Yankees can somehow re-sign closer David Robertson. The bullpen is so much stronger with the trio of Robertson, Dellin Betances and Miller than it is with Betances and Miller as co-closers. Given the shortcomings of the starting rotation, mastery of the 6th innings on will be crucial. I really like the thought of two powerful lefties in the pen (Miller and newcomer Justin Wilson, acquired earlier in the off-season from Pittsburgh). Of course, last year's top draft selection, lefty reliever Jacob Lindgren is burning through the system and will be in the major league bullpen in the not so distant future. So, for a team that has struggled with finding dominant left-handed relief in recent years, they'll soon be dealing with a position of strength. Manager Joe Girardi must be getting good night's sleep these days.
I love the Baseball Winter Meetings. It is always my favorite time of the off-season. Of course, as a Yankees fan, my team is generally very active during the week. Last year's flurry of acquiring Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran on the same day was such a rush. Kind of like today when the Yankees acquired Gregorius and Miller…
When they needed a manager, the Rays simply took the Cash…
Finally, the Tampa Bay Rays announced their new manager when they named former catcher Kevin Cash to the position.
I was a little surprised that the Rays are replacing perhaps baseball's best manager with a guy who has never managed before. But Cash has been learning the craft under the watchful eye of Tito Francona in Cleveland as bullpen coach, and he brings the right amount of enthusiasm and intelligence to the position. Clearly, new Rays President Matt Silverman is trying to place his own stamp on the team. The best choice would have been to hire former Rays bench coach Dave Martinez but of course, that would have been a carryover from the Andrew Friedman-Joe Maddon regime. All things considered, I am glad that Martinez was able to slide over to the Chicago Cubs to continue his role as bench coach for Maddon.
It will be interesting to see how Cash does. It's interesting that he can claim World Series rings with both the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Now, he'll see those teams routinely as a member of the AL East. Hopefully, he does well and his stay in St Petersburg is long and mutually rewarding. Well so long as it doesn't involve any AL East or World Series championships.
The next week should be interesting regardless of what happens. The Yankees have awakened from their slumber…

Attached is the Proxy form for the upcoming annual meeting of homeowners.
It is important that we reach Quorum (10% of homes represented) and avoid the cost to us/you of orchestrating a second meeting should we fail.
If you cannot attend the meeting, please take the time to complete the form and give it to a neighbor who will be attending the meeting or simply send it in to RealManage by noon on the 30th of Jan (the day before the meeting). Digital signature of the document is acceptable.
If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader (free version), this is relatively simple to do:
There are a number of other applications that allow you to place an electronic signature on a PDF document (DocHub is a free app that seems to work well on Google Chrome)
And there is always the "old" fashioned Print, Sign, Scan * Email method.
And the even "older" fashioned Print, Sign, and Mail method.. :) but do that well in advance to allow it to arrive at Real Manage (or your neighbors) in time for the meeting.

From the Streets of Washington blog:
For Victorian decorative exuberance—some would call it excess—few buildings in Washington could compare with the Portland Flats apartment house, which stood on a slender triangular lot just south of Thomas Circle from 1880 to 1962. The Portland was the city's first luxury apartment house, the equivalent in its time to the Watergate, as historian James Goode has suggested, and the closest Washington has come to having its own Flatiron Building. Its rise and fall mirrored the fluctuating prosperity of the Thomas Circle neighborhood as well as the changing tastes of Washington's most affluent residents.

Think your teenager is getting enough sleep and exercise? Think again. Only 5% of U.S. teens are meeting these goals, according to a recent study. And researchers found most teens are also falling short on another important recommendation—getting no more than 2 hours of screen time a day. Not meeting these three goals may put kids' physical and mental health at risk, as well as affect their behavior and academic achievement.
Experts recommend teens ages 13 to 18 get 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night and log at least 1 hour of physical activity every day. These 2 activities are often interconnected: Being active will also help your teen sleep better. Here's how to help your kids meet these goals:
Encourage your teens to join a sport that interests them. The more they enjoy it, the more likely they are to stick with it.
Find activities to do together. Try taking a walk after dinner, going for a bike ride, or trying out a new sport, such as rock climbing, yoga, or marital arts.
For a good night's sleep, set firm rules around screen time before bed. Experts recommend keeping all screens out of kids' bedrooms and avoiding screen time at least 1 hour before bedtime.
Be a good role model. If your kids see you enjoying physical activity, it's more likely they will, too. The same goes for getting enough shut-eye.
Time spent in front of a screen is mostly sedentary and often solitary. This can lead to problems with physical and emotional health. Here are some ways to keep your teen's screen time in check:
Make mealtimes screen-free. Ban cell phones from the table and keep the TV off.
Share some screen time together. Use the opportunity to discuss difficult topics that arise in a movie or TV show.
Set limits on how much time your teen spends in front of a screen and stick to them.
Follow the rules yourself. You're an important role model and your kids will learn by your behavior.

These are frequently asked service questions regarding RJ Young equipment leasing, service, and managing your account.
1. Do I own the equipment at the end of the lease?
RJ Young is independently owned and operated, meaning we are able to offer true in-house leasing. The vast majority of our leases are based on the fair market value of your equipment. At the end of the lease term, you may contact your sales specialist for a buyout amount. In most cases, clients use as an opportunity to upgrade equipment at the end of their leasing terms.
2. Does service on my equipment end when my lease is up?
No. RJ Young will continue servicing your equipment after your lease terms have ended. To cancel your service, simply provide us with a 30-day notice.
3. What's the difference between renting and leasing equipment?
Think of renting and leasing as you would a car. Similar terms and conditions are applied to equipment in both instances as outlined below:
Renting: Equipment is delivered and collected by RJ Young based upon start and end dates specified in the rental agreement. Renting is a great way to access equipment for a fraction of the cost of leasing and/or outright purchase when only needed for a short term.
Leasing: Client makes payments towards the cost of the equipment. At the end of the lease term, the client is able to buy out for the remainder of the balance owed on equipment. Or, in most cases, clients use as an opportunity to upgrade equipment. Learn more about in-house leasing here.

No matter your location, RJ Young service technicians have you covered. Our service technicians are located across our entire footprint. All of our service technicians are furnished with a vehicle inventoried with parts for the associated equipment population they are responsible for servicing.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggested that by 2017, Obamacare would be repealed if a Republican wins the presidency and Republicans maintain the majority in the House and Senate.
Christie made his remarks during his monthly Ask the Governor show on New Jersey radio station 101.5.
The host of the show pointed out that premiums for health insurance were actually going up as high as 13 percent.
Christie predicted that the healthcare system would only get worse.
Discussing the controversy engulfing Jonathan Gruber's congressional hearing, Christie said that "his big sin is that he told the truth and got caught doing it."
Christie said that Obama exhibited "extraordinary overreach" by pushing through his plan, and he suggested that Democrats would suffer politically.

BULK POWDERS Dried Goji Berries, also known as Wolfberries, are a small, shrivelled red fruit – similar in appearance to raisins. They contain no additives or preservatives and are unsweetened. They are supplied in a convenient, foil-fresh pouch, with resealable zipper to ensure complete freshness. The ancient story goes that there was a remote village in China where people never got ill. It was found that the water from the local well was rich in nutrients derived from Goji Berries; as a result of them falling in from a nearby tree. This may seem far-fetched, but a little more research in to the power of this tiny fruit reveals a huge list of health benefits, which certainly defies their size. In fact, Goji Berries are seemingly one of the most impressive foods available today – perfect for you, and the ideal inclusion in our Active Foods range.
WHAT IS IN GOJI BERRIES? Amino Acids – Dried Goji Berries contain an impressive 18 amino acids, which contribute to everything from recovery to mood. Protein – Goji Berries contain the highest levels of protein amongst fruit, at an impressive 13g per 100g. This is 13% more (gram for gram) than meat. Vitamin C – Dried Goji Berries contain higher levels of Vitamin C than any other food on the planet (second only to the Camu Berry). Vitamin C is essential for improved immune function and the prevention of illness. Antioxidants – Dried Goji Berries are richer in antioxidants than any other known food. Antioxidants fight free radicals which cause illness, disease and aging. Lower levels of free radicals means improved health! Beta Carotene – Dried Goji Berries are a great source of Beta Carotene, which helps to improve vision, prevent cataracts and maintain cell growth. Minerals – Dried Goji Berries contain a massive 22 different minerals, helping with everything from inflammation to cholesterol control. Vitamins – Dried Goji Berries contain Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E, which support everything from energy levels to digestion.

The role of memory
Memory plays a role in all our activities. It is essential in creating and developing our personality, it is a direct witness of our own past (episodic memory), and also of history and common knowledge (semantic memory). It is therefore one of the most essential cognitive functions in a person's life.
We tend to consider memory as a whole, for instance by saying we have a good or bad memory. Remembering what we had for lunch yesterday is very different from remembering the fact that Paris is the capital of France. The type of information to be memorized or recalled engages the brain in different ways.
Thus there is no brain area that can be identified as THE place where memories are stored. Whether a neural connection is formed actually depends on the simultaneous activation of neurons in various areas of the brain and also varies depending on the type of information to be memorized.
Main types of memory
Traditional segmentation of memory according to how long information has to be remembered for
- Sensory Memories are the shortest type. They record all new information we experience in the space of a few hundred milliseconds (example of visible persistence).
- Short-term memory (STM) then takes over and retains the information a little longer (for about a minute). This type of memory allows to memorize a verbally received phone number until it has been dialed or written down. It is also necessary when reading and helps momentarily retaining information from a sentence that has just been read, so as to make sense of the next sentence. Short-term memory tends to disappear after a while in order to be replaced by the Working Memory.
- Working Memory (WM) can be considered as a «central administrator » which manages various cognitive mechanisms required to mentally deal with information. It is exactly the same as the "active" part of the Long-Term Memory when carrying out a task requiring us to handle information.
Long-Term Memory (LTM) intervenes when we wish to memorize a piece of information for a longer period of time (or when we try to retrieve information from the past). This type of memory has an unlimited capacity and preservation time of the information. It contains all lasting knowledge. There are several types of stored information.
Subsystems of long-term memory:
- Episodic Memory: Remembering what we did the day before, a dentist appointment or a friend's birthday party are personal and autobiographic memories for which the memorization context is very important.
- Semantic Memory: At the same time, knowing grammar rules, names of capitals or objects represents general knowledge that does not depend on the memorization context. Despite the fact that this knowledge has initially been episodic knowledge, it has turned into semantic knowledge since both spatial and temporal context in which it has been memorized have been set aside. This type of knowledge belongs to the semantic memory which allows us to make a list of flower names or to give the word that corresponds to a certain definition.
- Implicit Memory: As well as these elements of "explicit" memory, which correspond to a conscious and voluntary search for stored information, there is also an "automatic" mode to retrieve data from our knowledge. In this case, these are "implicit" memory mechanisms which group, for instance, our know-how such as: Knowing how to play the piano, riding a bike, driving … These are things we do automatically but that still require us to consider the knowledge we have stored in our procedural memory (knowing that positioning your hands a certain way on the piano will render this or that chord, or that maneuvering your car a certain way will help you make a left turn).
Fatigue, age or stress may interfere with certain aspects of our memory.

It's a toxic world out there. Some toxins we can avoid and some we can't. So for the sake of argument let's say a personal toxic load of three out of ten is something the body can deal with while not compromising your health. But many toxins are beyond your control such as air pollution or the x-ray you needed when you fractured your wrist mountain biking last summer. What can you do to lower the toxic load you carry?
Step One: Assess Your Cosmetics
Women who use make-up on a daily basis can absorb almost five pounds of chemicals into their bodies each year, so this is not a matter to take lightly. Putting chemicals on your skin is actually far worse than ingesting them, because when you eat something the enzymes in your saliva and stomach help break it down and flush it out of your body. When you put these chemicals on your skin however, they're absorbed straight into your blood stream without filtering of any kind, so the toxic chemicals from toiletries and beauty products are largely going directly to your internal organs. Visit the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database at http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ where you can look up a wide variety of products and brands to find out what they're really made of, and whether or not they're safe. Fortunately, there are many natural cosmetics available today. Ideally look for a verified Organic seal.
Step Two: Replace Non-Stick Cookware and Avoid Stain-Resistant Fabrics
Non-stick cookware contains PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and other perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which are used to make grease-resistant food packaging and stain-resistant clothing as well. Even though there are many names, if the item in question is "non-stick" or "stain/grease resistant," it will have some type of fluoride-impregnated coating that is best avoided. It has been well documented that when non-stick pans are heated the coating begins breaking down, releasing toxins into the air in your kitchen. When the pan reaches 360 degrees C (which takes about three to five minutes of heating), at least six toxic gases are released. Research has revealed that these toxins can accumulate in your blood at an alarming rate and may lead to chronic disease over time. You can keep your exposure as low as possible by avoiding or getting rid of products that contain PFCs such as non-stick cookware and choose either ceramic or glass instead.
Step Three: Avoid Canned Foods And Plastic Containers
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used component of plastic containers and food packaging, such as the inner lining of cans, despite the fact that more than 200 research studies show BPA is harmful to human health. The use of BPA is so pervasive that scientists have found that 95 percent of people tested have dangerous levels of BPA in their bodies. Recent research from the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that canned foods and beverages can increase your BPA levels by a staggering 1,000 percent in a mere five days! Only use glass baby bottles and dishes for your baby. Use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel travel coffee mugs rather than plastic or styrofoam coffee cups. Avoid using plastic wrap (and never microwave anything covered in it). Give your baby natural fabric toys instead of plastic ones. Store your food and beverages in glass containers. Avoid using bottled water, filter your own using a reverse osmosis filter instead. If you choose to use a microwave, don't microwave food in a plastic container. Before allowing a dental sealant to be applied to your, or your children's, teeth, ask your dentist to verify that it does not contain BPA. In the event that you do opt to use plastic containers for your food or beverages, be sure to avoid those marked on the bottom with the recycling label No. 7, as these varieties may contain BPA. Containers marked with the recycling labels No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 do not contain BPA.
Step Four: Pay Attention When Buying Furnishings
Find high-quality non-toxic paints, also known as "low-VOC" or "no-VOC" paint. Select non-toxic carpeting, such as those made of wool, or opt for non-toxic flooring like solid wood or bamboo. One of the primary hazards when it comes to furnishings is flame retardants or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). These are commonly found in mattresses, upholstery, drapes, curtains and television and computer casings and circuit boards. Studies have linked PBDEs to learning and memory problems, lowered sperm counts and poor thyroid functioning in rats and mice. Your mattress may be of particular concern, as many contain not only PBDE's, but also toxic antimony, boric acid, and formaldehyde and manufacturers are not required to label or disclose which chemicals their mattresses contain. However, some manufacturers now offer toxin-free mattresses, such as those made of 100% wool, which is naturally fire resistant.
Step Five: Change Your Cleaning Products
Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, and synthetic air fresheners. One of the best non-toxic disinfectants is plain soap and water. You can use this for washing your hands, your body and for other household cleaning. Another all-purpose cleaner that works great for kitchen counters, cutting boards and bathrooms is 3% hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. You can also keep your home very fresh and clean by making your own natural cleaning products using items you probably already have around your home such as baking soda mixed with apple cider vinegar to clean drains and bathtubs, or sprinkle baking soda along with a few drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil (which have antibacterial qualities) as a simple scrub for your bathroom or kitchen. Vinegar can be used to clean almost anything in your home. Try it mixed with liquid castile soap, essential oils and water to clean floors, windows, bathrooms and kitchens. It can even be used as a natural fabric softener. Hydrogen peroxide is safer to use than chlorine bleach for disinfecting and whitening. Vodka is a disinfectant that can remove red wine stains, kill wasps and refresh upholstery (put it into a mister and simply spray on the fabric).
Step Six: Eat Organic and Garden Without Harmful Chemicals
It's well known that conventionally grown fruits and vegetables are often tainted with unacceptable levels of pesticide residues and you're also exposed when you eat animal products. Animals raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's) eat feed full of pesticides, and these toxins accumulate in their flesh and fat over the course of their lifetimes. When you eat factory-farmed meat, you then ingest these accumulated pesticides. As for fresh produce, certain fruits and vegetables tend to be far more contaminated than others, simply because they're more susceptible to various infestations and therefore sprayed more heavily. Some foods are also more "absorbent," with thin, tender skins. Such foods would be high on your list for buying organic. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) produces an annual shopper's guide to pesticides in produce at http://www.ewg.org/ . Fermented foods can be helpful too as some of the beneficial bacteria produced in fermented foods have been found to help detoxify insecticides.
Avoid using synthetic pesticides in your home or garden. There are safe and effective natural alternatives for virtually every pest problem you come across. For instance, boric acid powder is a very effective deterrent to roaches and ants. Sprinkle some in the inner corners of your cabinets and in the corners under your cabinets. Pests will carry it back to their nests on their feet and kill the remainder of the infestation. Boric acid is non-toxic for animals and only kills the insects. Or, for a homemade garden spray that will discourage most pests, use some mashed garlic paste combined with a little cayenne pepper or horseradish. Add a small amount to a gallon jug of water and let it sit for a day or two, shaking it occasionally. Just spray a small amount onto a few leaves first to make sure it's not so strong that it will burn them.
Step Seven: Boost Your Immune System
In order to detox chemicals from our bodies we need a beautifully functioning immune system. In today's world many people over-respond to toxins, allergens, normal bacteria and parasites and under-respond to viruses, yeast, and intracellular bacteria. The immune system has become out of balance. A healthy immune system is dynamic, able to switch back and forth as needed, quickly eradicating one threat and then resting before responding to the next.

Hardcore isn't exclusively a New York phenomenon, but it is appropriate to the gritty city. Sick Of It All have been doing it loud and proud for 32 years, and are now on their twelfth album. If I were to sum up their appeal in one word, it would be attitude.
"Waking Up the Sleeping Dragon" does not deviate from the norm. It's loud, fast, punkish, hardcore in chorus, hard and non stop. The mosh pit is well and truly whirling and twirling, pushing and shoving from the opening "Inner Vision". It's amazing how Sick Of It All get so much into one song. You'll never get a ballad but you will get aggression, defiance, bass guitar rumblings, choruses and changes of tempo, all in the setting of a rough and dangerous scene. The songs are solid and anthemic – it's hard not to join in and shout "break free!" on "The Snake (Break Free)". There is a rare break from the usual complexity with "Bull's Anthem", which emphasises the anthemic over the aggressiveness. I didn't like that so much, but even it cannot be accused of lacking energy. More relevant and hard hitting is "Robert Moses was a Racist", which follows. Robert Moses was an urban developer in New York. The song exudes bile and venom even suggests tongue-in-cheek that "Bobby" had something to do with the demise of the Dodgers. I guess this is John Cooper Clarke traded up to New York hardcore.
I do like the energy and anger of these anthems. One violent rant leads to the next. It's not pretty but it is entertaining. I do however find it merges into a blur as we work between areas of discontent, but I did particularly like "Beef Between Vegans". But other than a few bits of growly guitar and the odd bit of neat build-up as on "Bad Hombres", it's quite uniform. And those angry choruses, as we get on "Work the System" and "The New Slavery", are just designed to rouse the crowd.
If you like your rants hardcore and punkish, this is for you. The anger is there to enjoy and its anarchy and energy make it liberating. Really, this is for a live setting, as it's difficult to transport oneself into this grey and grim world if you're in it or at least in a flea bit of a concert hall with the anger resounding around the people in the room. But as ever Sick Of It All do manage to wake that sleeping dragon and would probably wake the dead if they wanted to.

Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis of gold for March 1, 2018
Gold price has made a new lower low. Price remains in a bearish short-term trend after the cloud rejection. Daily trend has turned to neutral after price entering the Daily Kumo.
Gold price is below both the tenkan- and kijun-sen indicators. Short-term support is at $1,307 at the February lows. Resistance is at $1,335 at the lower cloud boundary. Gold is expected to continue lower, however today I would not be surprised to see a bounce towards $1,325-30.
Magenta line – long-term resistance
After the double top rejection at the long-term resistance and the rejection at the daily tenkan-sen early this week, Gold price has broken through the Kumo and is trading inside it. Daily trend has now turned to neutral. Support is at $1,300. If this level fails to hold we should expect Gold to move towards $1,285-70.

Middle School science takes place on the dock as students collect samples from the lake to test water quality. A third- and fourth-grade economics unit transforms the field into a start-up village where students execute business plans to sell goods and services. PreK3 students learn about creative expression by emulating master artists, studying dancers like Degas or painting the pond in the style of Monet.
For 50 years, Corbett Prep has lived its founders' dream to create an educational environment that would cultivate the gifts and talents of every student.
See how Corbett Prep teachers put the school's philosophy into action during a tour and Admissions Open House.
Founders Marilyn Gatlin and Betty Anderson embraced a philosophy that happy students – respected as individuals and allowed to fulfill their needs to "play, investigate and be themselves" – were more open to learning than students who felt unhappy, tense and fearful at school.
Open House Information
Headmaster Dr. Joyce Burick Swarzman will start each Open House with an overview of Corbett Prep, including its concept-based curriculum and thriving fine arts, athletics and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art of Design and Math) programs. Corbett Prep also offers the International Baccalaureate Programme at all grade levels beginning at PreK3.
Highly trained teachers make up the heart of the Corbett Prep community. Dr. Swarzman will explain how and why Corbett Prep uses brain-based teaching strategies in classrooms and the commitment teachers make to professional development. Over five semesters, the school completed training in gifted education masters-level courses through a partnership grant with the University of South Florida College of Education. Corbett Prep also remains on the cutting edge of social and emotional learning, partnering with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and piloting a new wellbeing curriculum that is expanding worldwide.
"Our vision is to make the learning process joyful and challenging as well as stimulating and productive," says Dr. Swarzman. "Our master teachers put children first, focusing on excellence and developing a positive approach to life and learning."
Middle School student ambassadors will lead Open House guests on a tour of the lakeside campus and answer questions from their perspectives. A light breakfast also will be served.
Corbett Preparatory School of IDS is located at 12015 Orange Grove Drive in North Tampa and provides bus transportation from South Tampa, New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Lutz and Westchase. Families interested in learning more about Corbett Prep are welcome to call the Office of Admissions to schedule a personal tour at any time.
Contact the Office of Admissions to RSVP for an open house or request more information at email@example.com or (813) 961-3087.

Is your email marketing strategy nurturing or nagging people? Using lead nurturing best practices you can hit the sweet spot every time ensuring you're nurturing prospects down the funnel... not chasing them away.
Guiding leads down the path to purchase takes patience and a well thought out strategy. Lead nurturing is the term used to describe taking leads on a journey that allows them to explore your products, answers their questions and stay engaged even if they are not yet ready to buy your product. Automated email marketing is a great tool that can be used to slowly drip feed useful content to your prospects, while keeping them engaged with your brand until they are ready to start doing research or have a conversation with a sales person. Done correctly, this useful nurturing tactic can improve conversion rates and prevent contacts from slipping away, never to be seen again.
But there's a fine line between nurturing people through useful, relevant content and nagging them. Every marketer knows that dreaded feeling when you send out an email and people start unsubscribing, or worse… mark your emails as SPAM. Unfortunately, this is a reality as people can get annoyed by the clutter in their inbox.
Take a moment to think about how many emails you receive everyday… Now stop and think about how many of those you actually read. The average office worker receives a massive 121 emails per day. With 269 billion emails being sent a day globally and an expected increase of 4.4% per annum, this means that by 2021, 316 billion emails will be sent each day!
With those numbers in mind, it's unlikely prospects or customers will read emails that fade into the background.
Find out how lead nurturing fits in with your sales team and processes, download our Guide to Lead Nurturing and Sales.
So, how do you stand out?
It all starts with a well defined and effective lead nurturing strategy… and the root of a good lead nurturing strategy is of course a great inbound email.
As sales funnels lengthen, buyers become more independent, and attention spans shrink, the case for strategic, effective lead nurturing continues to grow. If your brand isn't nurturing a buyer, your competitors probably are, and you will lose sales and market share to the more attentive voice. - Marketo
Let's start with the important factors to consider when creating an email which will help your emails stand out:
- Personalisation: Ensure your emails are personalised to the reader. This doesn't just mean we should throw in the odd personalisation token and consider the job complete. It's about sending highly relevant emails to targeted groups. This helps boost open and click-through-rate (CTR).
- Timely: When you send an email is nearly as important as what you are sending. Don't get lost in the Friday afternoon shutdown or send mails in the middle of the night. Choose times when your buyer persona is likely to be engaged and can read your email. If you have a tool like HubSpot, you can track the success of your emails and analyse the data to determine the best time for your buyer personas. Seventh Sense is a tool that offers advanced sending personalisation by sending emails to each individual at a time that they are most likely to engage. This offers allows you to send out email at times that suit each person as an individual.
- Respect: Research shows that email subject lines that include the words "thank you" have the highest above-average engagement levels. Showing respect for the reader and their time earns their attention (increasing email opens), so it's key to get to the point. Their time is valuable and they probably don't care about the tuna sandwich you had for lunch.
- Mobile first: Internationally, two-thirds of emails are read either on smartphones or tablets, and South Africans are no different. This means image heavy HTML emails might not be so easy to read and could take time to open (depending on the internet connection). So it's vital to ensure you create mobile friendly emails and test them across devices. Keep in mind that this should apply to the pages you link to as well.
- Subject line: Did you know? 33% of email recipients open emails based on subject line alone. So ask yourself... is your subject line at least capable of standing out among the clutter? If not, why bother?
So now you have some insight into how to create a great email but when you plan on nurturing prospects and sending them an entire series of emails, you run the risk of annoying and frustrating your prospects. Which is why you need a lead nurturing strategy.
This leads to the real question…
What makes a stellar lead nurturing strategy?
A great strategy takes all the aspects of lead nurturing into consideration, it looks at the whole picture from how many emails you should send, what delay you should include between each email, and what the core messaging of each email should be, to what format each email should follow and the trigger of your workflow emails. It also looks at who should, and just as important, who shouldn't receive your emails.
1. Define your goals
Before you embark on lead nurturing, ask yourself what you want to achieve with your emails. This should drive the story you will be telling within your nurturing emails. Determine the goal of your nurturing campaign and understand the best way to get to this goal.
2. Relationship building
The ultimate goal of a lead nurturing strategy is to build a relationship with prospects. The idea is to build a rapport with them and become an advisor to them.
3. Data Driven
A great lead nurturing strategy is not just well thought out but it is driven by the customer insights and data that you have. This means that the strategy may change as you gather more data. Research shows that consumers are four times more likely to respond to an offer if it's personalised vs. generic.
TIP - you can also use emails to gather data - consider adding a question with clickable answers to your emails to get instant feedback that is easy for customers to do. My favourite is this one from marketing automation leader, Hubspot:
4. Well segmented
A well segmented database means that you're grouping contacts based on what they have shown interest in, their demographics, or behaviour. This allows you to target your messaging to these people and personalise your emails based on your prospects specific interests or needs. Segmenting your contacts will ensure that your messaging is relevant and helpful to prospects and will boost engagement.
5. Calls to action (CTA)
Every email you send should have one targeted call to action (CTA). This CTA should drive users to complete a desired action which would lead them towards completing the overall nurturing goal. Should the CTA of every email in a nurturing sequence have the same CTA? I don't think so, this depends on the goal of the workflow and the story you are telling.
6. Be SMART
If you use marketing automation tools like Hubspot or MailChimp, be sure to use the data you have to customise both the nurturing journey and your email content to be more personalised for contacts. Personalisation is about so much more than using a standard first name token in an email or a subject line. Ask yourself what you know about your prospects and what you could include that would help tell your story.
7. Let format match function
Prospects may respond to different email formats. Consider testing out various email formats and styles and matching the content in your email with a suitable email format. A short note to thank a person for booking an email may be best suited as a plain text email while an e-newsletter is best suited to an image-rich HTML format.
8. Close the loop between marketing and sales
While lead nurturing can be used in many ways such as educating prospects, re-engaging with cold leads, boosting social media following, opening conversation or cleaning databases to name a few. Lead nurturing is often used to help prospects make more informed decisions and deliver leads that are ready to buy to the sales executive. This means that tight alignment between your marketing team and your sales team is crucial for closing deals. This can be done by communicating to the sales team what you are doing in your lead nurturing efforts and allowing them to provide their input into the strategy process. Ask the sales team what questions they get asked most frequently and answer those questions in your nurturing to help educate buyers and answer the questions they have been asking.
9. Measure and optimise
A lead nurturing strategy should never just be set-it-and-forget-it! Although many lead nurturing campaigns are sent out via marketing automation software, that doesn't mean they should remain the same forever. The best way to stay relevant and ensure that your campaigns keep meeting the needs of your prospects is to measure how people are engaging with your campaigns and then optimise your emails, cadence, CTAs, and format based on the data. This doesn't just apply to your current campaigns, use the data you have gathered in your past and current campaigns to build better campaigns in the future and leverage the insights and learnings to build more personalised and better optimised nurturing strategies.
How many emails is too many?
Now you have a plan in place but how do you determine how many emails to include in each workflow of your strategy? Remember, even the best emails can become a nag if the timing and amount of emails sent is wrong.
When considering how many emails to send, ask yourself the following questions:
- What is the purpose of each email?
- Are you adding value to the reader in exchange for their time?
- Would you appreciate receiving all the emails you are sending?
- Have you varied the call to action, format, and content sufficiently?
- What is the story are you trying to tell?
- Where is the prospect in their buyers journey?
- Have you matched your strategy to your buyer persona and the stage of their buyer's journey?
- Are you communicating with the prospect on other channels at the same time as these emails?
Remember, a lead nurturing strategy can be ineffective if you are too conservative but it can also be frustrating to prospects if it is not strategic, data-driven, and well thought out. It's all about finding the sweet spot for your buyer personas. So, use your data well and consider the questions above before you hit send on your next lead nurturing campaign.

I read previous reviews and bought a bigger size as advised by other reviewers. It's a very nice jacket and I got compliments when I wore it.
Was a tight around the chest area. If you are large in the chest area, size up.
I had double thoughts on buying this jacket as I've read some mixed reviews. Fortunately, the jacket fitted nicely! I suppose it is more suitable for ladies with small bust as there's not too much space in chest area. If you're an A or B cup, it should fit perfectly!
This is positively gorgeous, and amazing value in the sale. Sadly too tight for me around the bust, so needed to return. I would have kept otherwise, as this instantly transformed me into a powerful and feminine conquerer!
While I would recommend this product because of how classy it is, I would note that it is tighter in the bust for the size ordered. While it looks fitted on the sides, it is not fitted in the front from bust to stomach. Thus, if you go up a size, there is no contour from the bigger bust to a more flat stomach. My shoulders feel a bit confined because of the tighter bust area, but it is still an excellent jacket.
Sadly, returning another item as size 16 was too large. Too large in shoulders for me and sleeves were too long. It is a beautiful jacket, very elegant and great quality but sizing is off. I should have bought size M or even S. I'm standard UK size 14 and I bought this jacket in L.
This jacket is gorgeous. The arm length is just right and I love the length of the jacket (it sits just on the lower part of my back) so looks smart & fitting.
Jacket is beautiful, but like all KL it is a different sizing than the LTS standard. Need to go up at least 1 size if not two, so sending this back.
I ordered 22 (alongside other LTS 22 that fit) and this was unbelievably small. About 3 sizes, I'd say. The swing tag said 22 but was attached to a clothing tag that said 18. Think you've got it wrong LTS and KLP have it right. Please stop getting our hopes up to then destroy them. You're doing nobody any favours.
Absolutely love this blazer! Great fit and length - if there was more blazers of this style on sale by LTS I would definitely buy them
I really like this. I've seen some reviews on here that the fit quality isn't great or the sleeves are too long but I'm an average LTS size 14 and 6"2 and it's fine. The 4 stars is because of the cost. They aren't cheap but then I guess you get what you pay for.
Quality very good but runs small - need to return
I was especially pleased with the fit and design of this jacket. It is very flattering and will look smart with black dress pants or skirt. I'm so glad I got it!
Totally in love with this jacket. Lovely cut, feels very 'Chanel' but so tight across the shoulders and round the arms. I now have to diet to justify keeping it!
I bought this jacket because I thought it is sophisticated. It is, but runs small. I normally wear a 14, so I bought a 16. I could barely get it on my arms. So I bought an 18.. still too small. Very disappointed
I loved this jacket when it arrived. Fit was great. Got lots of compliments. However, I followed the washing instructions to the letter. The black from the panels bled onto the white, making it a sad grey. I then used a colour saver product which restored the white yet made the black panels blotchy and faded. Wore it twice. Now unbearable. Such a pity and very disappointing.
Nice jacket

Drone industry takes off as home delivery gets closerMay 4, 201602:46
From fighting fires to delivering pizza, unmanned aircraft systems — better known as drones — may soon be making their way into our lives one flight at a time.
This week, innovators and experts in the robotics and drone world will touch down in New Orleans for Xponential 2016, the largest convention of its kind. The annual event brings together executives and drone leaders from 55 countries, representing industries from oil and gas to farming and national defense.
An estimated 8,000 people will gather in the Big Easy through May 5 to hear about emerging technology and high-flying solutions from featured speakers such as FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and Gur Kimchi, co-founder and vice president of Amazon Prime Air.
There's also $15,000 of prize money up for grabs as part of a "start-up showdown" contest. Fifteen tech startups will battle for a spot to pitch their company to a panel of industry experts, with the winner receiving a check as well as one-on-one mentorship from the judges.
To see some drones in action, watch NBC's Gabe Gutierrez live on the TODAY show on Wednesday, May 4.
