Grimm no more
Last night I left the office after 8. Oddly enough, I was grateful for it.
I was grateful that I was able to put in the extra time yesterday to allow myself to "tread water" (i.e., maintain an even number of screaming emergencies that need attention in my in-box, instead of going home with a higher number than where the day started).
I was also grateful that working late didn't mean leaving a lonely or pissed off husband at home -- he was at the office past 8 too. Crazy stuff happening in his work world lately.
I was also grateful that working past 8 is novel for me. I had a job for about 7 years where I was in the office from 8:30ish until after 10 pm, and frequently after midnight, on a vast majority of days. That was the normal there, and it wasn't all horrible (though I did gain weight and felt like my dating life was basically on hold), I made lots of good friends, got great experience, etc. (of course being paid well never hurts).
And finally, I was grateful that both of our extra effort and hard work is noticed, and at least in my case, appreciated (probably in my husband's too, but we haven't discussed). Yesterday at 7:30, as my husband and I touched base about when we were going home and what we'd do for dinner, both of our bosses were still working as well. We decided to give it another hour and then touch base again. In that hour, sometime around 8:15 maybe?, my boss left. On his way out, he told me that he'd talked to our divisional president that day, and I've been approved to go with them to a conference at the end of January that I really wanted to attend. Usually our company hates sending people to stuff like that -- lost revenue plus travel expenses -- so this felt extra special.
But anyway, all that wasn't the point of this "short" post. When I finally did get home, I heated up some food from the prepared section of the grocery store and sat down to watch TV while I ate and while I waited for my husband to get home. I made a decision then, and then I waited until he got home to make sure he approved of my decision -- and then I deleted about 50 hours of Grimm off our DVR. We just weren't watching it. I hope I'm not missing out on some awesome show. We liked the first season okay, but then never got back into it.
Now our DVR has all kinds of space and it feels oddly freeing. No pressure to clear it off (not that there was any pressure in the past, or that if there was, it motivated me to actually do anything about it).
Not planning to add anything new. Our current "regularly record and watch" list is:
Law & Order SVU
Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown (and any of his other shows)
Fareed Zakaria GPS
Amazing Race (my show, not "ours")
And our current "record but don't regularly watch list" is:
Americans (not airing currently)
Bachelor/Bachelorette (not airing currently)
Tyrant (not airing currently)
Simpsons (rarely watch but still record)
Family Guy (rarely watch but still record)
The other show we're watching ... no surprise to people who know me in the real world ... Amazon Prime's series The Man in the High Castle. Like it so far, only about halfway through the season.

We used to watch The Office and Chuck...now we just watch football! And documentaries, of course.ReplyDelete
We still keep track of Grimm - actually missed some of the first season, but have really enjoyed it since. Started watching with the boys, now just Lisa and I. Not consistently good - almost lost us last season, but they have made some changes (killed off a couple of major characters) that keep it working pretty well.ReplyDelete
I started watching Man in the High Castle and Jessica Jones, but haven't hooked in yet (no time right now).
We watch stuff through Hulu, and also keep up with Madam Secretary, Castle, Jane the Virgin, and so far keep up with Quantico though that is slipping from our interest rapidly.
it does feel good to make the decision to delete a show that you've been hoarding and not watchingReplyDelete

'Chinese herbal medicines contain pesticide residue'
Many traditional Chinese herbal medicines sold in western countries contain a "cocktail" of pesticide residues which exceed safe levels, research by Greenpeace suggests.health-and-fitness Updated: Jul 01, 2013 22:55 IST
Many traditional Chinese herbal medicines sold in western countries contain a "cocktail" of pesticide residues which exceed safe levels, research by Greenpeace suggests.
India is among the fastest growing importers of traditional Chinese medicine and herbs. According to China Daily, such exports to India rose by 28.24 percent year-on-year between 2011 and 2012.
Testing of 36 samples of herbal products imported from China, including chrysanthemum, wolfberry, honeysuckle, dried lily bulb, san qi, Chinese date and rosebud, found 32 contained residues of three or more pesticides.
A report by Greenpeace said traditional Chinese herbs were becoming increasingly known and accepted in the West, where they were purchased for medicinal use, and the export market was worth £1.5bn in 2011.
But almost half the samples (17) collected in various Western countries had residues of pesticides considered highly hazardous by the World Health Organisation, although in low concentrations.
Of 29 samples of products bought in European countries, 26 showed pesticide residues in quantities exceeding maximum safe levels set by EU authorities, Greenpeace said.
The presence of pesticide residues in what should be natural Chinese herbs should not be seen as an isolated case, but as "another example of the failure of chemical-intensive agriculture in China and around the world," the report said.
The green group warned long-term exposure to pesticide residues can have health impacts, such as reproductive abnormalities, while acute exposure to the chemicals can lead to poisoning of farm workers.
Commenting on the findings from Greenpeace East Asia, Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist with Greenpeace UK, said: "The toxic chemicals found in these products pose a real health risk to consumers.
"People who use these products do so hoping to ease medical conditions and improve their health - they will be shocked to learn that along with natural herbs they have been taking, they are exposing themselves to a synthetic cocktail of potentially dangerous pesticides.
"The UK Government and the EU must improve their testing regime for products imported from China," he said.

"In computer terminology, a honeypot is a trap set to detect, deflect, or, in some manner, counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. Generally, a honeypot consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network, but is actually isolated and monitored, and which seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers. This is similar to the police baiting a criminal and then conducting undercover surveillance."
McConnell claims that while working in Chicago, Broeksmit financed the development of the Obama Summit honeypots with fixed-income REITs while Serco director Maureen Baginski provided the tracking systems and the Sherlock Holmes' agents procured children needed to entrap/extort Preferred Pride guest/witnesses into manipulating crime-scene evidence and concealing the MI-3 Innholders' role in international murder for hire and child-sex trafficking.
McConnell claims his Foreign Fugitive File sister Kristine 'Con Air' Marcy warned Broeksmit that he was on the MI-3 hit list and had been tracked by Summit agents into the Preferred pedophile honeypots, leaving the former Deutsche Bank executive little choice but to kill himself.
McConnell invites key word Googlers to read excerpts below and ask why "The List of Sherlock Innholders – The Wrist That Didn't Bleed" book has a new title at http://www.abeldanger.net/

"William Broeksmit, Ex-Deutsche Bank Risk Manager, Dies at 58
By Laurence Arnold and Nicholas Comfort Jan 28, 2014 10:06 AM PT
William Broeksmit had two stints at Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank, Europe's biggest... Read More
William Broeksmit, a recently retired executive at Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) who worked at Merrill Lynch in the 1990s with Anshu Jain, now Deutsche Bank's co-chief executive officer, has died. He was 58.
He died on Jan. 26 at his home in London, according to a memo to employees obtained by Bloomberg News. Deutsche Bank spokesman Michael Golden confirmed the contents, which didn't give a cause. In an interview, a spokesman for the London police said a 58-year-old man was found hanging in a residence on Evelyn Gardens, the street where Broeksmit lived, and that authorities aren't treating the death as suspicious.
"He was considered by many of his peers to be among the finest minds in the fields of risk and capital management," Jain and co-CEO Juergen Fitschen wrote in the memo. They said Broeksmit was "instrumental as a founder of our investment bank" and called him "a dear friend and colleague to many of us who benefited from his intellect and wisdom."
Broeksmit had two stints at Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank, Europe's biggest investment bank by revenue, first from 1996 to 2001, then from 2008 until his retirement last February. He worked as an independent consultant in the interim. When he rejoined the bank in 2008 it was in a newly created position, head of portfolio risk optimization.
Risk Overseer
In 2012, as they prepared to take over as CEOs, Jain and Fitschen advanced Broeksmit's name to become the new chief risk officer. The bank retreated on his nomination after German financial regulator BaFin raised concerns that Broeksmit's lack of experience managing a large number of employees.
Stuart Lewis was named head of risk management instead.
Broeksmit "was a pioneer in interest rate swaps" while at Continental Bank in Chicago "and brought his expertise to Merrill Lynch," Janet Tavakoli, who managed asset swaps under Broeksmit at Merrill in the late 1980s, said today in an interview. "He was brilliant." Tavakoli is president of Tavakoli Structured Finance Inc. in Chicago.
At Merrill Lynch, Broeksmit's work on interest rate swaps drew the attention of Jain, who had joined the firm in 1988 and was looking to sell more products to hedge funds. Interest rate swaps are contracts to exchange fixed-rate payments for floating-rate ones over a period of years.
At Jain's encouragement starting in 1994, Broeksmit and Merrill agreed to trim the profit it made on swaps to induce hedge funds into the market, Broeksmit said in an interview for a 2005 story in Bloomberg Markets magazine.
Merrill Lynch
Investment Dealers' Digest reported in 1995 that Merrill Lynch had named Broeksmit head of global equity derivatives, one of a series of promotions that followed the departures to Deutsche Bank of Grant Kvalheim, co-head of debt capital markets, and Michael Philipp, head of equity derivatives and debt and equity futures.
Broeksmit had been recruited to Merrill several years earlier by Edson Mitchell, a former head of fixed income who also moved to Deutsche Bank and was a mentor of Jain as well.
Broeksmit and Mitchell, in a 1993 memo, warned Merrill management of "potential adverse consequences" for Orange County, California, a client, "in the event of a substantial increase in interest rates and the flight of hot money" from the county's investment pool, the New York Times reported in 1998. Their warning proved on the mark.
Orange County, the nation's fifth most-populous county, sought protection from creditors in 1994 after losing about $1.7 billion on derivative investments. That was at the time the nation's biggest municipal bankruptcy."
"William Broeksmit Advisor, Deutsche Bank From 1997 to 2000, Mr. Broeksmit was Managing Director and the Head of European OTC Derivatives Trading for Deutsche Bank, and is currently serving in an advisory capacity for the head of Global Markets. Previously, Mr. Broeksmit was head of U.S. OTC Fixed Income Derivatives for Merrill Lynch (1986-1996). Mr. Broeksmit received his MBA from Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University) and a BA in Political Science from Claremont McKenna College."

Setting alarms on your Apple Watch is quite easy if you use Siri. Apple's intelligent voice assistant quickly listens to your command and creates alarms on your watch. However, this will be your Apple Watch exclusive alarms as they won't ring on your iPhone even as it is paired with your iWatch. There are certain commands you need to know before you set alarm on Apple Watch using Siri.
Once you setup Hey Siri on your Apple Watch, you can easily put alarms on the smartwatch. If you have turned on multiple alarms, you can edit them as well as delete those wake-up reminders. Amazingly, you can use Siri to change your Apple Watch alarms and also create a label for Siri alarms. Check this guide to know how to activate Alarm on your Apple watch using Siri.
How to Set Alarm on Apple Watch Using Siri
First, we will activate Siri to enable alarms on Apple Watch. Note that the guide has only commands or instructions to be given to Siri; there are no steps as such.
How to enable alarm: Hey Siri, Set Alarm for 5 PM.
To Set Alarm for Tomorrow: Hey Siri, create Alarm for 6 am tomorrow.
Also use: Hey Siri, enable Alarm for 7 pm today.
How to label your alarms through Siri
If you have created multiple alarms on your watch, you need to give a label to each alarm so that you can easily change or delete those alarms. But you need to name your alarms at the time of setting them; this means, you cannot create labels for alarms once they are created.
Use the command: "Hey Siri, activate an alarm for 01:30 pm and name it "label for alarm".
Since I want to check my blood sugar, I will keep label as "Blood Sugar" in the inverted commas.
How to Edit or Change Alarm using Siri
In case you want to change alarms on your Apple Watch, Siri will help you edit them.
Say, Hey Siri, change alarm (Blood Sugar) from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm today.
In case you have not set labels for alarms, you need to remember the time of alarms you want to change.
For example, Hey Siri, change alarm from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm today.
How to Turn off Siri Alarms on your Apple Watch
Users normally delete alarms other than morning wake-up calls. You can use following commands to disable alarms using Siri on Apple Watch.
For example, Hey Siri, turn off all alarms (Siri will remove all alarms on your iWatch).
To deactivate a particular alarm: Hey Siri, delete alarm "Name of alarm".
If you haven't named the alarm, speak the time of the alarm.
For example, Hey Siri, deactivate alarms for 1:30 pm today.
That's all friends!
You can make the most of Siri to set up alarms on your Apple Watch.

An imposing presence and an adventurous temperament: Zenith's famous Pilot watch displays its vintage style on all wrists. In a new 40 mm case made from aged steel, its attributes inherited from aviation's pioneering days – a broad fluted crown, oversized luminescent numerals, a grained dial and an in-house 'motor' – make an ideal match with the retro shades of the oily nubuck straps with contrasting stitching.

LONDON • Marcus Rashford has been rewarded for his breakthrough season at Manchester United by signing a new contract worth £20,000 (S$40,300) a week.
The 18-year-old striker has one year left on his current deal and United have acted swiftly, offering him an extension until 2020.
Rashford, who scored after 138 seconds for England in their 2-1 victory against Australia last Friday night, will find out today whether he has made Roy Hodgson's final squad for Euro 2016.
The teenager stands a good chance, having impressed the England manager.
"What a debut. You asked me before the game if I thought he would be up for it or capable of dealing with the situation and I think we got a resounding 'yes' to go with that question," Hodgson said.
Just three months ago, Rashford, who earns only £1,500 a week and drives a relatively modest Audi, was an unknown yet to play a professional game as he strove to emerge from the youth ranks at Old Trafford.
It has been a whirlwind since for the teenager who broke into the United side only in February, scoring twice on his debut against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League round-of-32 second leg before hitting two goals against Arsenal in the English Premier League.
Rashford scored eight times in 18 appearances in his debut season and has now been rewarded following his display on the international stage.
"I am delighted to have signed a new contract. I have always been a Manchester United fan, so to be playing in the first team really is a dream come true," he said.
"I am grateful for having the chance to prove myself. To be able to play football at the biggest club in the world means everything to me and my family."

Climate One: Net Zero Living
Net Zero Living: ways to reduce the amount of trash you generate, and how to design or retrofit a home to conserve energy.
Conservation begins at home — literally. Designing and operating a home that generates as much power as it uses is rapidly becoming a reality.
Meanwhile, cities around the country have made zero waste a goal for their landfills. Can it be done? What steps can we take to reduce the trash on our collective backs?
What is it really like to live trash-free?
"You get these trash goggles," said Samuel McMullen, a University of Michigan student who has set out for a year of zero-waste living. "Once you've done it even just for a day, you start seeing trash everywhere." He's the co-founder of Live Zero Waste.
Other speakers include:
• Diana Dehm, founder, Trash on Your Back.
• Kevin Drew, Zero Waste coordinator, San Francisco Department of the Environment.
• Lauren Hennessy, sustainability outreach manager, Stanford University.
• Ann Edminster, author, "Energy Free: Homes for a Small Planet."
• Daniel Simons, principal, David Baker Architects.
• Sven Thesen, owner of a Net Zero home.
• Greg Dalton hosts the Commonwealth Club of California's Climate One series. Produced in association with KQED public radio.

So summer has almost passed me by, and while I got out and had some fun I still ended up with a nice bucket list of things that I want to do in the next few months. Most of my friends are not as adventurous as me, or the live out of the area. I am not really looking for anything in terms of a relationship right now but just someone fun, male or female around my age with similar interests to hang out with and have some fun adventures! Some interesting things that I am in to: -I am Mustang over the last few months, looking to see if anyone is up for a drink hoping to take it out to some car shows soon -Just getting into DSLR photography, would love to meet someone who has experience or an interest in that too -Enjoy all kinds of movies from indy flicks to blockbusters,

I spend the last x mos screening in the BR area and found a few very interesting things.. First I found that every male here admittedly has or does not care if you have an STD. Also I found that there are x main posters here and x are definitely positive and do not inform their potential . xxx thing I was simply sickened by is the fact that every TS I contacted and spoke with was by either , Hep, or both and were all willing to have unprotected sex, even worse, when asked they all agreed to have unprotected sex after being informed the man would be positive and wished to ejaculate inside them. Perhaps just as disturbing, most females including the couples with very little nudging if any, agreed to perform bareback and every single couple agreed the male would ejaculate inside of my pussy bareback. Over half the men and women who did admit to having and not originally stated they did so because at xxx test they showed undetectable levels of the disease so it is a non-issue. transfer has nothing to do with the level of in your system,

Life and careerEdit
Harvie grew up in the Borders village of St Boswells and was educated in Kelso at Kelso High School and in Edinburgh at Royal High School. He studied at the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated in 1966 with a First Class Honours M.A. in History. He received his PhD from Edinburgh in 1972 for a thesis on university liberalism and democracy, 1860-1886.[1][2]
As a historian, Harvie was the Shaw-Macfie Lang Fellow and a tutor at Edinburgh University 1966-1969. He joined the Open University in 1969 as a history lecturer, and from 1978 he was a senior lecturer in history. In 1980, Harvie was appointed Professor of British and Irish Studies at the University of Tübingen. He is the author of several books on topics including Scottish history, nationalism, North Sea oil, the British political novel and European regionalisation.
Harvie was formerly a member of the Labour Party. He co-wrote a pamphlet in favour of the Scottish Assembly along with Gordon Brown in 1979, and co-edited a history of Labour politics in Scotland. In 1988 he left the Labour Party for the SNP.[3]
He is Honorary President of the Scottish Association for Public Transport and holds honorary chairs at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth and the University of Strathclyde. He also writes for Guardian Unlimited's online 'comment is free' site, and he is a contributor to the Scottish Review of Books.
He was elected during the 2007 election for the Mid Scotland and Fife region. He served on the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee.[4]
Harvie won the Free Spirit of the Year award at The Herald newspaper's 2008 Scottish Politician of the Year awards.[5] He retired as an MSP at the 2011 election.[6]

Is an Annuity For You? Look at All Factors Before Buying
By: Christine Dugas
Source: USA Today.com
Date: 5/29/03
Why pay taxes now if you can put off paying them until much later? All things being equal, the answer is easy.
But in the new tax law, all things are not equal. Now that Congress has reduced taxes on capital gains and dividend income, taxable investments don't look so bad. And tax-deferred vehicles, like annuities, have lost some of their luster. That's because the gains on money held in an annuity or an IRA continue to be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn. Under the new law, the top income tax rates have been pared to 33% and 35%. But by contrast, the top rates on capital gains and dividend income have been cut to 15%.
At issue: Will the benefit of tax-deferred compounding over time outweigh the lower tax bill on capital gains and dividends? (related table - tax deferred versus taxable income)
Experts say that if you can put pretax money into a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) or IRA, you'll always be ahead of the game. But it's less clear whether you'll benefit from putting after-tax money into an annuity or non-deductible IRA.
"Before the tax change, I wouldn't recommend an annuity to too many people," says Richard Venegas, a financial planner in Escondido, Calif. "But the new tax law shrinks the pool even further."
The Tax Impact
The new tax law doesn't dramatically alter the merits of a tax-deferred annuity, many experts say. But on balance, it means that it will take longer for most investments held in an annuity to reach the break-even point, when after-tax value starts to exceed the value of the same investment in a taxable account. If you can't keep your money in an annuity for at least that long, it might not make sense to consider one.
For example, under the old tax law, it would have taken a $10,000 investment in an equity-income mutual fund held in a variable annuity eight years to reach the break-even point, according to an analysis by mutual fund company T. Rowe Price. That assumes the fund earned an 8% average annual return, and the investor was in a 27% federal tax bracket.
Under the new tax law, it would take 10 years longer, or 18 years, for the same fund to break even, assuming the investor is in the 25% federal tax bracket.
The amount of time necessary to reach break even will vary according to the investment. T. Rowe Price found that under the old law, it took 12 years for $10,000 invested in a growth fund held in a tax-deferred account to reach the break-even point. Under the new law, it took seven years longer, or 19 years, to break even.
Annuity expenses could add to the break-even time.
The Features
Variable annuities have become popular as a way to save for retirement. Sales peaked at $137 billion in 2000, according to the National Association for Variable Annuities (NAVA). Last year, sales were $114 billion, virtually unchanged from 2001.
Though many people are attracted to the tax shelter offered by variable annuities, they often don't fully understand the complexities. Variable annuities are essentially an insurance contract that holds a number of tax-deferred investment options. Unlike a non-deductible IRA, there are no restrictions on the amount you can contribute.
An annuity typically offers owners several payout options, such as a lump sum or the option to receive equal periodic payments for the rest of their life. "The real value of annuities is not tax deferral, but the ability to lock in a lifetime stream of income," says Robert Nestor, principal at Vanguard Annuity and Insurance Services.
Most annuity contracts provide a death benefit if the owner dies during the accumulation phase. It typically guarantees that the beneficiary will receive an amount equal to the principal invested even if the value has declined.
In some states, investments held in a variable annuity are protected from creditors. And for purposes of college planning, money in an annuity might reduce available assets and help you qualify for financial aid.
Be aware that you might face a 10% penalty if you withdraw money from a variable annuity prior to age 591/2. And variable annuities typically include surrender charges that are levied if you withdraw money during the first years of the annuity contract.
The Fee Trap
There are a few low-cost variable annuities available directly from companies such as Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Schwab and TIAA-CREF. But variable annuities typically come with high fees that can drag down the return and add to the time it takes for the investments to break even.
Expenses can range from 2% to 3% per year, on top of loads and commissions, according to a report last year from Charles Schwab. That can take a big bite out of potential return.
For example, if you invest $600,000 in a variable annuity that charges 2.75% in annual expenses and your neighbor invests the same amount in an annuity with 1.5% annual expenses, and you both earn 6%, after five years, your investment would be worth $43,662 less than your neighbor's, according to a Schwab analysis.
Who's a candidate?
Given the pros and cons of a variable annuity, who should consider one? A variable annuity is a product suitable for a long-term investor who is saving for retirement and has already maxed out on 401(k) contributions or other tax-deferred retirement saving options, says Mark Mackey, president of NAVA.
At a minimum you should have 10 years before you'll need to begin tapping into the money and another 10 years or more before you'll complete withdrawals, says Harold Evensky, a financial planner in Coral Gables, Fla. That way, much of your money will have a 20-year span in which to grow tax-deferred. Some people argue that you need an even longer time horizon, given the tax change.
Ideally, you should be in a high tax bracket, and have money that you can afford to lock away until you're 591/2.
Wise investing
If you already own a variable annuity or are considering one, you should use it to invest in options that produce a lot of taxes and reserve tax-efficient investments, such as index funds, for your taxable accounts. For instance, a variable annuity would be a good vehicle for actively managed stock funds, says Rande Spiegelman, vice president of financial planning Charles Schwab.
Other types of tax-inefficient investments to consider include funds that invest in real estate investment trusts, high-yield bond funds and zero-coupon bonds, experts say.
As you analyze your options, keep in mind that the current tax cuts are temporary. Unless reauthorized by Congress, they are scheduled to expire at various points over the next decade. "Ultimately, the investment decision should come first," Spiegelman says. "Congress likes to monkey with the tax law. All you can do is position yourself as tax efficiently as you can."

J*DaVeY's "The Great Mistapes #2"
Earlier today, Jack Davey♀ and Brook D'Leau♂ unleashed their latest effort - Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes (Part 2).
The boy/girl duo previously released a collection of 2 EP's, The Beauty In Distortion/The Land of The Lost (2008), along with Dec. 2009's Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes (Part 1).
While it's still yet to be determined if the 2 mixtapes/EP's together create one concurrent story, Part 2 indeed features a Nevermind-era Nirvana cover and 4 additional tracks.
J*DaVeY are currently on tour with Blu; The NeWest [US] Tour runs through early April. Along with producers Greg Wells, ?ustlove, and Khari Farrai, the band is prepping their Warner Bros. debut ["New Designer Drug"] for a TBD Summer 2011 release.

In keeping with the theme of diagnosing myself with random things, I've decided I have dysphagia. SLPers, you're gonna love this one.
Case history: Female, 23 years old. No previous history of swallowing difficulty. Has no known history of head injuries or neurological insults. Patient displayed difficulty triggering a swallow while eating a piece of toast at dinner. She tried other foods (apple, eggs), and swallowed successfully, but continued to have difficulty triggering a swallow when eating toast, and later, other bread products. Swallows thin liquids (water) easily. What is your course of action? Diagnosis?
Personally, I'm thinking the bread part is all psychological…which means eating my sandwich tomorrow should be fun. But hey, at least then I'll be around a licensed SLP who is used to doing swallow studies.

Social media has brought the whole world into one platform. This has made communication fast and easy. One of the best advantages of social media is that it has benefited the business organizations. Let's look at some of its benefits.
- A business can fetch a lot of data about their target customers through social media. There are millions of uploads every day on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. These data can convey a lot about likes and dislikes of customers and how they feel about a brand. This can give real-time feedback to the business owner and make better business decisions.
- Customers find it convenient to get connected to a business organization if it is active in social media. This can help a business to retain their customers and it increases brand loyalty. Thus, it is very important to be connected your customers on social platforms.
- An organization can promote his business, products or services on these platforms. Advertisements on social media are very common these days. It is comparatively very cheap and can target the right audience. For instance, if an ad is running on Facebook, customers can be targeted based on interests, behaviors, locations etc. How a Social ad is performing, can be measured and tracked very easily.
- These interactive platforms are the most effective way to increase sales and retain customers by providing customer service and interacting with them. There can be a lot of new business opportunities through social platforms.
- You can always provide customer support via social media. In fact, customers try to reach out the specific brand through social media to get a fast response and wants their queries to be addressed at the earliest.
- These public forums also help in getting higher search ranking. If there are more shares of your post, then there are high chances for Google's search engine to show you at a higher rank.
- Businesses can keep track of their competitors by monitoring them on social platforms. This can be helpful in making various business strategies to lead in the market. It encourages business to improve its performance by delivering quality products and services.
- It has become very convenient for a business organization to convey any information to its customers within a very short span of time. One needs to just share it on their account on the social network.
- It is the best opportunity for a business owner to build a strong relationship with his customers. One can have a dialogue with his clients anytime directly and this helps to enrich relationships with the clients. A business can expand with the support of social media and engage with the target audience.
Nowadays, a lot of apparel businesses are primarily based on these social platforms. For instance, in a Facebook lot of such apparel business owners create their own page where they share details such as photo, size, price etc. of products that they want to sell. The potential customer who is willing to buy can simply comment below the post and place an order for the product. This makes it smooth and easy for both the customer and the seller to execute an order. In fact, if the customer has some doubts or confusions regarding the product, he can ask directly and will be addressed by the seller instantly. This saves a lot of time and energy. Same is the case with Instagram. Photos of products are shared by the seller with details. Interested people can approach directly and place an order immediately.
Another important medium is YouTube. It is a public forum that is used for sharing videos. It has billions of users who can upload videos, view, share or comment on other's videos.
Nowadays, a lot of people endorse brands on YouTube and give product review to help customers to decide on purchasing stuff. Even it is a good medium for advertising your business. These days, there's a culture of vloggers or YouTubers who are sometimes paid by companies to make videos and review their products or services. There is Google AdSense from which one can make money which depends on a number of views. This platform is very creative in nature.

Donors suspend key funding
Donors have suspended funding worth millions of dollars to one of the most important government programmes. The affected programme is the Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector Reform Programme. State agencies benefiting from the programme dating back to 2005 will lose funds to the tune of Sh2.9 billion. The decision follows the post-election crisis sparked by the disputed vote tallying of the December 27 General Election, in which the Electoral Commission is perceived to have favoured Mr Mwai Kibaki for President against Mr Raila Odinga.
Major donors had earlier warned Kenya that they would not be conducting "business as usual" if the crisis persisted.
A letter to ministries, departments and agencies, said the Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector Reform Programme Basket Fund Development Partners had reached a joint decision to stop any new commitments until further notice. The programme's chief technical coordinator Jacques Cartens, said the decision was short term, and would be reviewed regularly.
The decision affects Medium Term Strategy Three funding, which was supposed to begin this financial year.
Police, Kenya National Commission on Human Rights the National Registration Bureau and National Youth Service are affected by the move. Others are the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Law Reform Commission, the Anti-Corruption Campaign Steering Committee, the AG's Office, and Prisons Service.
Police and prisons workshops, equipment purchase, and law reform human rights campaigns in the media are specifically affected.
The commission stands to suffer the most, as 90 per cent of its programmes are funded by the governance reform programme, with the Government only paying staff salaries and office rent.
On Wednesday, Mr Cartens referred the Nation to the Swedish embassy, saying, it was "the major donor of the programme."
Swedish ambassador Anna Brandt confirmed the aid suspension pending the outcome of mediation brokered by former UN chief Mr Kofi Annan.
"We are not going to enter into new contracts with the Government following the current political crisis," she said, and expressed disappointment that violence currently being witnessed in Kenya had taken ethnic dimensions and must be stopped.
Ms Brandt welcomed the decision by Mr Kibaki and Mr Odinga to work together for a lasting solution to the problem.
The aid freeze letter to the ministries said: "In cases where your department/agency has submitted a basket funded procurement request to the governance reform programme the approval of these requests will be put on hold until further notice.
Procurement requests
"In cases where procurement requests from your department/agency have already been approved by the governance reform programme, the Financial Management Agent will not be in a position to make a financial commitment in support of the specific activity.
"You are therefore advised not to proceed with these procurements until further notice."
The information on the aid freeze has already been relayed to all the affected government departments and agencies.
