In partnership with Starbucks at Home
I'm one of those people who was pleasantly surprised by the Bachelorette casting choice of Hannah. I frequently found myself beguiled by her self deprecation and awkward charm last season. That said, truthfully, I didn't really know what to expect with her as the lead. It felt to me like this could either end up being one of the more inspiring, feel-good seasons of recent memory, or that things could end up swinging deep into hot mess territory—with little potential for much in between.
I'm happy to report this season already seems to be falling in the former category. Of course, we're surely destined for Hannah's signature awkward tongue-tiedness, but she's come such a long way in that department (more on that in a bit) that those moments to come already feel like the exception, not the rule. Her natural way of breaking "character" and her inability to be anyone but herself is so compelling. How many B-rolls did she render useless (yet also somehow useful!) by self-consciously smirking or by exclaiming, "I don't know what to do with my hands!" Anyone who can poke fun at the absurdity of one of this show's building blocks (in this case, cheesy wheat field B-rolls), even if unintentionally, is a winner in my eyes.
Best of all, it feels like we're watching more than another cookie-cutter season of a tired, old, set-in-its-ways reality show about love. Don't get me wrong: many things about this season already do and certainly will feel tired and old and done. But there's a twist: It feels as though we're witnessing a young woman come into her own. It seems that, in the short time we've known her, Hannah has made leaps and bounds in terms of her confidence, personal worth, and ability to articulate her thoughts. I found myself legitimately moved listening to her thoughtfully-prepared speech about honesty and worthiness. It wasn't only a good delivery of a good speech for her, it would have been a good delivery of a good speech for anyone on this show. Hard to believe this is the same woman who nearly crumbled trying to string together a toast last season.
Now, I don't know how conducive this moth-to-butterfly development is to that same butterfly finding her future mate. It very well may not be. But in terms of watching a show—more seasons of which I've seen than I'd like to admit—it's not only refreshing, but even inspiring.
Last night's premiere changed its usual spots. Instead of production depending on the go-to Night One formula (relying on the contestants throwing back too many drinks and encouraging one in particular to fuel discord by repeatedly stealing the lead), a different tactic was used. I almost—almost!—felt bad for Scott when it became clear that an example being made out of him (his having a girlfriend and all) was going to become a major Night One plot point. Think of all the moving parts to set this up: Demi receiving this information and relaying it to production (assuming that really is how it happened), Demi NOT mentioning it to Hannah despite seeing her earlier that same day, all the equipment, the van…. Would Demi and Katie even have had this cameo if it weren't for Scott? Given there are a couple of alternates every season, most of whom never actually go on the show, I would go so far as to say that having a girlfriend very well may have been what secured Scott's position on the official cast list.
As for the rest of them, I'll keep with my tradition of singling out my early non-frontrunner favourites. I don't care what anyone says, I thought Joe (The Box King) was hysterical. Grant stood out to me as someone you'd want to hang with, especially with his bone dry delivery of condiment puns while stuffing his face with a hot dog. I got a kick out of Tyler's Flashdance moves in the bones of a house being built. (Best intro video "work" scene ever.) Finally, it was hard not to fall for Matt Donald, who strikes me as goofy yet sincere. The sign language in his family was fascinating to me and really made him stand out. I was FLOORED to see him go home (especially to John Paul Jones!) and would love to see him granted an extra life on Paradise, à la Grocery Joe.
As for the frontrunners, here are my Final 4 based on the premiere…
1. Peter, 27: "He's delightfully normal"
Peter has a great Night One resume, boasting an intro video, a full limo exit, and solid 1-on-1 time. I must say, I really like Peter. In his intro video, he struck me as intelligent and well-spoken. He's delightfully normal, he's understated and he's believably intrigued by Hannah without being suspiciously over the top about it. Hannah seems intrigued right back, but I like how this feels slow, steady, and sincere—as though they know a kiss is on the way and there's no need to rush things on Night One. I see Peter going VERY far this season.
2. Luke P, 24: "The Bachelorette was this man's destiny"
To me, Luke is the type who appears to have been bred to appear on The Bachelorette. Everything about him, from his Southern twang, to his backstory as a former playboy who found God (in the shower—where else?), his Nice Guy affect, his impossibly smooth hair fade… Being on The Bachelorette was this man's destiny since the womb. My problem with Luke P is that my patience for too-perfect, too-earnest, too-rehearsed candidates is wearing thin these days. Everything out of Luke P's mouth feels like a stock line designed to advance his position in this race. For now, however, Hannah seems to be buying what Luke is selling (despite the fact that he alarmingly won't lend her his jacket when she's freezing cold!). Intro video, check. Full limo exit, check. 1-on-1 time, check. First Impression Rose, check.
3. Connor S, 24: "It feels very natural between these two"
Connor S may not have gotten an intro video but his full limo exit was shown (rather, his fence jump—I loved this and am so glad someone claimed this stunt!), plus he got one of the season's first kisses. It feels very natural between these two and while we don't know a ton about Connor S as of yet, I have a hunch that'll change.
4. Mike, 31: "He oozes established, quiet confidence"
Mike won me over very early in the episode with his intro video; he said that spending time with strong women taught him to listen, pay attention to small details, and know you're going to be wrong. The observations here, as well as the fact that he can list them, say a lot about him. (One thing's for certain: he sure as hell would have lent Hannah his jacket when she said she was freezing cold!) In Mike's 1-on-1 time with Hannah, he quickly proved a good listener when she mentioned in passing having struggled with worthiness, and he said, simply and kindly, "Tell me about that." Mike's a bit older than the other guys here and I see that as a great thing—he oozes established, quiet confidence.

General Nonsense25 Jun 2007 @ 18:00
Welcome to Summer!
Normally at this time of year my work schedule would be picking up – working for Disney has the advantage of taking it easy for about 8 months out of the year, but then working your butt off for 4 months. Well, I've had a lot of free time recently – the important news upfront – I've separated from the Walt Disney Company again. This time wasn't as voluntary as last time, but I think that this is a blessing in disguise. Here at Allergan, the summer is our slow time and I am looking forward to the free nights over the summer and all of the opportunities that are out there for me. So, with that said, what have I been up to during all of my newly found free time?
This past week I have spent in Riverside at my mom's house. I went out there Friday night, 15 June. Andrew, my step-brother, graduated from the University of California, Riverside on 16 June with his baccalaureate degree in Comparative Ancient Civilizations. I can't say how very proud of him I am for finishing. I know that he will make a great instructor because he truly has a passion for the subject matter and that's really the key to being a good educator. As part of the graduation celebration, Andrew's grandma was here from New York, affectionately referred to as "Nans." As an added special surprise his cousin, Cristin, came too. After graduation we went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, it was delicious as usual, though we were saving our appetites for dinner at Duane's at the Mission Inn. Duane's was amazing!!
After hanging out at mom's for the weekend, I decided to stay the whole week. It was a lot of late night staying up with Andrew and Cristin playing games, watching movies, etc. On Wednesday night we went to the Disneyland Resort. Cristin had never been to Disneyland before. We were able to ride the Indiana Jones Adventure and Pirates of the Caribbean before heading over to Disney's California Adventure to ride California Screamin'. After that and a quick walk by of Disney's Electric Parade we made our way across the esplanade back to the original Magic Kingdom and watched Remember…Dreams Come True fireworks spectacular. As a former cast member, a visit would not be complete without saying hello to some friends who were operating the Disneyland Monorail. A quick visit to the Mad Hatter and The Emporium for some souvenirs then back to the homestead. Though a very tiring week, it was a lot of fun!!

Best verified discounts
Get ready before Black Friday! Next has special offers for you! Shop Clearance and get even a 60%...
Save on fashion for adults and kids! Sop on Next sale saving even more than 50%
Enjoy even 60% off on curtains, lighting, furniture and more! Click to save now.
Coupons, promo codes and deals for Next and other brands available throughout the year
Next is always eager to make their customers happy, whether it's Black Friday or not. This is why customers can enjoy sales and promotions all year long. However, it's the 29th of November 2019 that will mark the biggest saving opportunities at the store. How is that? With such discounts and rebates, every shopper is bound to find items with a great price tag.
The event is set to start on the 29th of November 2019. However, it hardly ever ends on that day, and customers can find countless offers all the way through the following Monday. Cyber Monday is that one day when exclusive online deals go live and often bring further savings to shoppers.
Next started their adventure with Black Friday a bit later than other brands as their first year of participation was 2018. Shoppers might expect some massive markdowns however it's better if you take a look at their website a bit earlier than that. You might see some pre-sales announcements which will give you a better understanding of what is available in the store.
Also, don't end your shopping spree just before midnight on Friday. Next will most likely extend their event all the way to Monday to enable more people to shop for their products at the most convenient time for them. If you're one of those people who prefer the online sales to offline ones, this is your chance to get the best deals ever.
Additionally, one great way to make the shopping spree faster and easier is to visit the store beforehand, look through the catalogue and add items to their cart or wishlist. You just need to remember to register for an account beforehand because otherwise all of your picks will be lost. When the time of the sale comes, you will find everything you wanted in your cart and making the payment will be easier than ever.
This year customers can expect sales to reach up to 50% off. For example, if a dress costs £36, you are likely to buy it for less than 20 pounds. At such low prices, you can afford to add more items to your cart and perhaps stock up on products for the following seasons or even years to come because you can afford it. There is also a possibility of additional codes and vouchers but you will need to follow the brand's announcements closely.
In the previous year, 2018, sales reached up to 50% off. There were also other saving opportunities that could have been used along with the discount. This year, check if there is a possibility to score free shipping or additional codes that can save you even more money.
One place in which you can find deals on Black Friday is the Next webpage. You will see the announcement there, and with just a few clicks, you can buy your favourite items from either own brand or high-end ones as well. If you register an account with Next, you will also receive personalised emails with Black Friday promotions. This way you will not miss out on anything.
Make sure you visit Black Friday Global as well. It will be full of Next promotions as they come and go so make sure you spot it at the right time. It's difficult to predict what exactly will Next prepare for that time, but experience with other stores shows that flash promotions aren't all that rare. This is why it's better to stay in the know and act accordingly whenever you see something coming up.
Remember to get accustomed with Next social media profiles. With that, you can easily find out about upcoming sales and the details of the Black Friday event in 2019. Next will surely keep their followers informed through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus and other channels.
There are plenty of saving opportunities after Black Friday is finished and they all can be found on Picodi. All you need is an account and an email subscription to receive the latest info on this subject. It's free to use, so you're saving cash already!
You can come to Next's website and see how many savings you can score with your orders. When you click on the Clearance section, you will find the end of collection items which need to be removed from the store to make room for new ones. This is your chance to find the best possible clothes and accessories at the lowest prices. That's not all, though. Even if you go into a specific category, for example, Women, and then click on a product, for example, Jumpsuits and Playsuits, you can still see discounted items. Go with the flow and with what you find on the website, and you will be better off.
If you shop at Next more often in a year, you can purchase a Next Unlimited delivery pass for only 20 pounds a year. It will enable you to receive free delivery on your orders, subject to terms and conditions. Simply add it to your cart like any other garment or accessory. If you apply for the Next Pay credit account, you can receive VIP access to sales - before other customers, £10 off your first online credit order and three months free delivery.
Don't stop here and make the most of your online shopping spree on Black Friday and beyond. If you're interested in what other brands and stores have to offer, be sure to check out ASOS, Very, Marks and Spencer and Debenhams.

I really love fog. When we go on vacation we look for foggy places. This summer we went to North Cascades National Park. Not many people go to North Cascades National Park. It is one of the foggiest national parks. Here is a place we saw a lot of fog. It is called Diablo Lake. Sorry this isn't the best picture. We love to travel but aren't good at taking pictures.

How to make money on unsold ad inventory
The fact that we live in a digital era is a common knowledge, and thus any business that fails to ride the digital wave to grow and attract customers, will suffer losses. Every media player wants to derive greater benefits from selling ad inventory for the best price to maximize its revenue.
Publishers (SSP) manage ad inventory like hot cakes. When they are hot, publishers want to make sure all cakes will be sold out and they get the most money for each piece. Cold cakes mean lost revenue. In other words, companies lose a chance to make money on unsold digital media. However, it's not only about optimizing unsold inventory, it's about optimizing the entire supply as well.
To that end, Adoppler (ADS for short) was created to assist AdTech companies to resolve an impasse. Our team developed a unified programmatic platform for buying and selling digital media and supplied the solution with the source code. With white-label solution Adoppler you can manage your ad inventory and take your unsold inventory and sell it through RTB to the 3rd party media buyers.
So, how does it all happen?
Ad inventory is bought and sold on a CPM basis via programmatic instantaneous auction. The auction includes three separate steps.
First is the external bid request processing. An external bid request arrives from a supply source, and Adoppler creates a new auction with the matching demand partners. Then it sends internal bid requests, gets the responses, chooses the winner and sends the winning bid response to the upstream SSP. All this is designed to happen within 100 ms.
Once the response is sent, Adoppler expects an upstream win notification. Receiving it means the upstream SSP has decided that Adoppler is the winner in its auction. If Adoppler receives the external win notification, it sends its own win notification to the DSP that made the best bid during our auction. The DSP returns the ad markup, which is then modified to include Adoppler tracking beacon, and is returned to the upstream SSP. Now Adoppler starts waiting for the impression tracking beacon.
When user's browser loads the ad markup, Adoppler receives the impression beacon. Upon receiving, the auction is considered finished and Adoppler applies the billing logic. Now the winning DSP owes to Adoppler, and Adoppler owes to the upstream SSP minus the margin percentage. This is how the typical RTB auction occurs.
In programmatic world it's important to look on digital sales from different angles. That's why our solution was designed not only for media sellers but also for media buyers. We have tried to take into consideration features and capabilities that would be beneficial to both sides.
So, the platform is equipped with bid request filtering, a black/white list, a hard bid floor setting which allows to yield higher bids and remove all bid requests with lower bid floor, dynamic RPS control (throttling) to monitor how DSP responds to bid requests and identify active and inactive DSPs. Further, the platform has a built-in fraud detection system that helps to detect fraudulent impressions, thus saving the buyer's money on low-quality inventory. ADS has the possibility to integrate with 3rd party fraud prevention services. By the way, we have included analytics and operational statistics reports as well.
For media sellers the product allows taking their available and unsold inventory and selling it through RTB to the 3rd party media buyers - as an exchange or SSP. As for direct publishers, ADS helps to build their own ad inventory and sell it to RTB buyers. For media buyers Adoppler allows reselling impressions, which they don't want to bid on, to third parties. For example, a DSP can have a "first look" at a bid request, and if it doesn't fit its needs, there is a possibility to create an auction and offer to other DSPs. That's how unsold inventory can be capitalized.
Ultimately, we have tried to create a product that would help to manage ad inventory real-time, anticipate your trading strategy using data analytics and reports, and close profitable deals!

Llanelli footballers shoot for success with fresh kits from building society
A school in Llanelli is hoping for success on the football pitch thanks to new kits donated to them by Principality Building Society.
Pupils from Ysgol y Strade were presented with 15 new jerseys, shorts and pairs of socks from Principality's Llanelli branch. Ysgol y Strade and Wales' largest building society have forged strong links through the Business
Class programme, a Business in the Community scheme which aims to develop business skills in young people.
As well as providing the future Bales of Llanelli with their fresh kits, Principality colleagues from the region have spent time with Ysgol y Strade students mentoring them on financial education and key business skills to help them in life beyond school. This has included everything from financial education workshops teaching the pupils the importance of savings and how to effectively manage their money, to practicing interview techniques.
Ysgol y Strade's football team were delivered the new kits by the Society's Llanelli branch manager Jeremy Evans. He said: "We're really proud of our partnership with Ysgol y Strade and the range of financial education lessons we've been able to hold at the school for the benefit of the pupils now and in their future.
"Strade thrives on its sporting activities so its fantastic to give our support to its football team to start the academic year with new kits and set them up for a good season ahead."
The Business Class scheme runs for three academic years in total – of which Principality and Ysgol y Strade are now in their second year – and has already seen the building society donate new rugby and athletics kits to the school.
Daniel Hughes, head of business at Ysgol y Strade said: "Our football team is so excited to get onto the pitch in their new kit, giving them a big boost for the year ahead. Principality's support for our sporting teams and through its financial education work is hugely appreciated as ever and we're looking forward to growing our partnership further as the programme continues."

In our recent blog "Bank distances itself from "zero hours" contracts…" we revealed that Santander were offering staff contracts which only guaranteed one hour of work a month. Continuing the theme of large employers making public gestures, McDonalds have said that it will offer 115,000 workers on zero hours contracts the chance to swap to guaranteed hours contracts. The number of guaranteed hours would reflect the average number of hours worked. Interestingly, a trial covering 23 restaurants revealed that 80% of staff given the option decided to stay on zero hours contracts with many preferring the flexibility they offered. Being given the choice reportedly resulted in increased levels of employee and customer satisfaction.
The McDonalds experience suggests that while people are not exactly saying "I'm lovin' it", zero hours contracts remain a useful option (one of many).

Running With Heart
April 12, 2018 § Leave a comment
Running is More than a Sport for Local Runner Lauren Shipley – It is a Purpose
Lauren Shipley began running two years ago and (at the time of this interview) was ramping up for her second Cooper Bridge Run, getting in about 15 to 20 miles of training per week. The 23 year-old Charleston native and daughter of HonkyTonk Saloon general manager Bob Shipley (pictured with her, bottom right), began running as a means to alleviate stress. "Initially, running was a huge therapeutic outlet for me. A wonderful way to relieve stress and anxiety while getting a great workout at the same time. Now, I really enjoy it. It's a big part of my life."
Shipley, who lives in downtown Charleston, finds inspiration in the city's beauty, especially when she is running. "It's actually a big part of how I got into running. I run a path around the entire peninsula and am always seeing new things and the water is so soothing."
Helping the disadvantaged is another very big part of what drives Shipley's running purpose. A professional mental health tech who works at a behavioral health hospital, she will be taking her sixth trip to East Africa this fall where she will be working to aid children and artisans in Uganda. After, she will head to Ethiopia to participate in her first marathon, Ethio Trail Marathon, which is a fundraiser for the artisans she will be assisting.
The Cooper River Bridge Run (a 10K run that took place April 7), is one of the running steps she took to prepare for the marathon. "I just love it. It is absolutely about the sense of unity. I teared up last year. Standing there with 40,000 people cheering you on. It is indescribable."
Lauren's tip for race success? "I always try to stay focused. My main thing is to settle into a motivational play list. My favorite right now is Fight Song by Rachel Platten."

Only 25% of Americans, Trump's genuinely loyal core supporters, fully support Trump's tax bill.[Note that today, he declared Jerusalem to be Israel's capital to bolster his popularity at this critical juncture among the 40% of Americans who are fundamentalists.] Even the Wall Street Journal published an editorial calling the tax bill a threat to democracy. They state that "trickle-down economics doesn't work, but trickle-up economics does... the plan's massive tax cuts won't reinvigorate the economy. For years corporations have enjoyed historically high profits, but investment hasn't increased alongside them."
"Neither would it juice consumer spending. Sixty-two percent of the benefits... flow to the top 1% of earners... The true source of consumer power rests with the middle class, yet nearly half of American families would ultimately see their taxes rise..."
In other words, the GOP tax plan overwhelmingly helps the wealthy and negatively impacts almost everyone else.

Many major coffee roasters are finding the Agtron Coffee Roast Analyzers invaluable in controlling the quality and consistency of their product. These bench top units are the most accurate, repeatable, and easy to use roast analyzers available.
The development of the flavor of coffee is directly related to the degree and method of roasting, as such, quantitative measurement of roast becomes imperative in controlling both the absolute and customer perceived quality of the product. The Agtron E20-CP and M-Basic/II are near-infrared abridged Spectrophotometers, designed specifically for high resolution analysis of the degree of roast of ground and whole bean coffee. Both instruments use near-infrared because it provides much higher resolution measuring flavor as it relates to the chemistry of the roasting process. Other instruments that use the visible spectrum to evaluate degree of roast can be confused by variations in the complex color signature of the beans as they base their results on the lightness or darkness of the sample and not the chemistry. Two samples can be the same color yet cup to different roast classifications. This effect reduces the resolution of analysis and can often produce erroneous results. The eye is subject to the same deficiencies and is additionally affected by perception variables, making accurate and repeatable assessment impossible.
To solve these problems the Agtron E20-CP and M-Basic/II use a very narrow band of near-infrared energy which is outside of the visible spectrum. This frequency is selected because it sees the development of chemistry as it effects cup character independent of color. Samples are evaluated both as whole bean and ground, with simple preparation. Using an Agtron makes it possible to evaluate and subsequently control both the degree and uniformity of roast.
Of special interest are the Agtron Scientific Workshops, hosted each month at our Reno, Nevada facility, located adjacent to beautiful Lake Tahoe. This intense one day workshop introduces roasters to the science of their art and teaches the thermal chemistry, dynamics, methodology and objectives of optimized roasting. Students learn the revolutionary new way to roast coffee with dramatically better cup character and improved consistency. The course covers simple instrumentation and heat control modifications for roasting equipment as well as implementation of the new Agtron roasting system. Novices as well as seasoned experts will benefit immensely from this course.

Have you ever been out on a walk in the woods and stumbled upon a tiny fairy house or door? We have once or twice and it was such a fun surprise! Some members of a Spryfield forest school took it one step further and created the very first dedicated fairy door trail in the city. Imagine the magic and fairy dust swirling around this little metropolis!
We recently saw a notice that the Captain William Spry Library branch was hosting a walk of the trail (which opened to the public on July 10) so we grabbed a couple fairy wands (you know, just in case they were needed) and went over earlier this week to check it out.
The Fairy Door Trail is located in Spryfield at the Urban Farm Museum just a couple streets over from where I grew up. It was such a delight to me to visit my old stomping grounds and see an area that, as a kid, seemed a bit scary and unused now turned into a working farm, a forest school, and now a fairy door trail. It seemed cloaked in magic for me from the start.
We started at the library and walked up the trail beside the skate/bike park. You should wear sneakers and be prepared for a bit of a hill – it's not super long, but it is pretty steep. Strollers are fine to push up the trail however you won't be able to take a stroller through the woods.
The wooden trail is quite uneven and rugged, although it's marked with logs along the edges and there are orange balloons pinned to trees along the way so you won't get lost.
They ask that visitors stay on the trail and not disturb the fairy doors (after all, if humans open a fairy door, it could lose all its magic!).
We'd decorated some shells and rocks at the library so each child chose their favourite door and placed their fairy offering gently in front of it.
They really thought of everything, including a little bridge you need to cross with a sign warning you that there's a sleeping troll under it so shhhh!
There is also a section where visitors are encouraged to create their own fairy habitats using a selection of natural materials they've laid there to use. Some of the creations were quite impressive!
I'm not sure how many fairy doors there are, definitely more than forty and it's still being added to, but you need to pay attention as they're tucked all over the forest – up high, down low, far away, very close. My daughter delighted in being one of the best spotters and showing the younger kids where each one was.
There is also a forest school at the location and coming upon their camp was almost as delightful as the walk – there are fairy doors scattered around it as well as lean-tos, hammocks and stump stools. We were very careful not to disturb their camp and urge other visitors to do the same.
We were lucky enough to meet these kind elves/campers who were hard at work creating more beautiful doors to add to the fairy land. This is the forest school and the group responsible for the idea.
The Urban Farm Museum Society also has a working farm at the front of the trail and a shop to pick up some locally grown veggies (cash only!). Make sure you check their website and social media for current hours as they may change.
We spent about thirty minutes going through the walk examining each door, and from the library parking lot to the trailhead it was about a ten minute uphill walk for the kids. Free parking is available either at the library/rec centre or on the streets nearby the trail entrance as indicated on their website. Combine it with a stop in the library, a play on their playground, and a swim in the wave pool and you've got a fantastic full summer day for the kids!

Shower; it uses less water than a bathtub.
I like to go swimming, too, but at least in the U.S., that's not considered to be a bath; pools have a lot of chlorine in them (especially those that are public or semi-public), and it's a good idea to shower AFTER swimming to get that stuff out of your hair and swimsuit.
Rivers and natural streams here, as well as the ocean, are never warm enough for extended "bathing," as they come from the snow-melt in the Cascades (Washington state), and once again, with the salt in the ocean, getting rid of it from your suit and hair is important.
So on the whole, I'll stick with a nice, simple shower.

Scientifically tested by engineer Professor Peter Pauli and certified. The STALIN blocks radio contact with the outside world when in a closed state, making signals no longer detectable.
Test result
If the smartphone is placed in the bug-proof bag and the latter is left open, the measured level decreased to -35 dBm. Once the case was properly closed with the magnetic locking system, no signal could be measured with this test configuration.
As a result, the bug-proof bag is therefore suitable for fourth-generation mobile devices. Credit card and personal ID data or Keyless-Go car keys therefore cannot be read.Certificate

....have you even used blink in classic?
or a mage ever?
Blink's always been sketchy.. in retail it's really much better.. sorry if you don't understand your talent, and maybe inscription choice...
I actually agree with the OP.
Blink is occasionally a bit borked.
But my main gripe with it, is the fact that when I press the button and happen to be quick-swiping, the thing is delayed wayyy much. So in so, that it often blinks 30 degrees behind where I was actually aiming when I clicked the button.
It's weird. But it happens.
The failures of moving forward I can mostly anticipate though, since it's just the way the game is. If you cross over some overlapping junctions such as the outside and the entrance of a cave. Then blinking in from the outside will always land you at the contact between the two.
Retail and classic.
Although, it is not exactly annoying me, but it is noticeable. And I'd also agree that it's happening more often then classic too, but that's also a bit obvious as to why and because of that it's also not as annoying to me as to some here apparently.
The 30 degree delay at times though, damn that. Input lag, but it could be some graphical glitch specific to my config and setup.
Nonsense, blink in classic behaves exactly the way as it does in retail.
In real vanilla it was the client who sent the new location, blink was literally without any tiny delay and led to blinking below the ground or get stuck in walls.
Today in both retail and classic the server tells you were you are going to end up, adding a small delay. And just like in retail there is no telling what will happen when you blink mid air, sometimes it propells you forward, sometimes just directly on the ground, and sometimes forward and then on the ground.
Classic has extremely little content if you're not a raider or a serious PvP:er, however I'm beginning to feel that the content it does have is way too easy. Raids are cleared the first reset by most guilds and then you're back to raid logging for farm raids that are almost as easy as LFR is in retail.
Both incarnations are still a buggy mess. :P
When the day comes that Blink can still take me over the bridge in Ironforge (not through it), then we'll talk
This thread is pointless, because Shimmer exists in retail. 2 Charges of Blink, can be cast while casting.
Way better.

Pathankot boy dies after shooting himself while taking a selfie
A 15-year-old Pathankot school boy who allegedly shot himself with his father's revolver while taking a selfie, died in Ludhiana on Sunday.india Updated: May 03, 2016 18:24 IST
A 15-year-old boy in Punjab's Pathankot who allegedly shot himself with his father's revolver while taking a selfie died in Ludhiana on Sunday.
Amandeep Singh, a student of Class 10 of Char Marla Quarter school, was purportedly attempting a selfie with his sister while putting a revolver on his head on Friday.
The gun went off, injuring Singh who was rushed to a private hospital. He was later moved to Apollo Hospital in Ludhiana.

Singh's body has been brought back to Pathankot and a post-mortem will be conducted, police said.
Several such incidents have been reported across the country of late. The Washington Post has reported that of at least 27 "selfie-related" deaths around the world last year, about half occurred in India.
In February, a teenager was run over and killed in Chennai as he tried to take a selfie in front of an oncoming train.

My Dad died in honor.
He was a believer in Jesus Christ.
He did not live for the world during his remaining time here on earth nor did he have any addictions.
I'm so proud of my Dad.
It is sad when someone like Hugh Hefner will die with women on his mind and will no doubt request that a photo of a nude woman be glued to the lid of his coffin.
Please do not get me wrong.
I believe the Holy Bible when it clearly says that the soul does not linger in the dead corpse. Either the soul goes to eternal hell or it goes to Heaven, depending on what that person believed.
So, what I say is meant to be a humorous way of making a spiritual point.
What is even worse than Hugh Hefner is when an evangelical christian who has heard the gospel all their life spends the remaining years of their life addicted to food, gossiping on the telephone with other gossipers, continuously watching the food channel, continuously watching forensic shows about murder and crime, accuses God of being unfair in giving human beings only 2 choices for their eternal destiny, accuses God of liking war, accuses God of not having a value on human life, blames God for bad weather conditions, thinks that God makes mistakes and thinks that they are smarter than God.
And not only this...if it was up to the evangelical to make the choice, would choose to live a life free of disease, free of trouble, having enough money to live on forever, and most importantly, to live forever without the involvement of satan and God both.
It makes me want to place a phone, the foods they were addicted to, and a battery powered TV tuned in on their favorite channel... inside their coffin. LOL
What a shame to only be remembered for these silly things.
What a disgrace to leave this life in disgrace.

Project management pop quiz
Sandra Harley Carey, Ph.D., Southwest Texas State University
This paper explores some popular assumptions about project management. It is designed around an examination addressing some of the more important issues being faced in this arena.
With a fresh look at these issues, the authors contend that common knowledge may be neither. A broadened perspective is called for when elements of project management's popular culture have been accepted without serious challenge.
For example, if one were asked to look at the critical fields of business (accounting, economics, information systems, finance, management and marketing) and then to rank order them in order of importance to a project manager, two outcomes are likely. The first response would be that each is important in its own way so no distinction may be made. The second response is that of course management is most important since that is in the job title. Both would be wrong. The explanation comes later.
The program manager's job is made easier by eliminating unnecessary concepts and cliches. Simple, clearheaded addressing of issues is not aided by the baroque and trite language of "empowerment," "facilitation," "paradigms," and "rightsizing." We need to return to clarity and understanding, such as
- The world was created (it wasn't finalized).
- The Magna Carta was signed (it wasn't coordinated).
- The Declaration of Independence was framed (it wasn't staffed).
Everyone already knows the slogans such as, "We need to do more with less." Practitioners are wondering if this is realistic and some are fast becoming cynical. Everyone knows, "We need to work smarter, not harder." They would even like to do it, if they knew how. Many have accepted the need to be "leaner and meaner" even if it does sound unnecessarily militant and they are not sure that "mean" is a good thing. People are even exerting energy trying to "think outside the box" even when they are thoroughly boxed in by rules, requirements, regulations, laws and supervisors who really don't want to get sidetracked by innovation or take the risks inherent in trying something new.
Those then, are the conditions we face as we try to complete our project so that our customers are happy and we can take pride in what we have done. Those same conditions have led some of us to accept as gospel that which is not in the project management bible. By taking the examination that follows one will learn the extent of the influence of what seems right based on what has been accepted and is in general use.

In Question Order Sequence
1. Q. Which of the fields of business is most important in determining a project manager's success?
A. Certainly we need to know something about all elements of business. Finance tells us how to get money; accounting tells us how we spend it; economics tells us about the conditions we face; information systems give us a picture of the organization and management allows us to allocate resources. What remains is how well we have designed our project to fit the customer's requirements plus how well we present our project to the stakeholders. The process is to find out what people want—what they really want—and then giving it to them. We need to make people happy. That is marketing. And that is what we need most to do.
2. Q. Which document is most important to the project manager?
A. Often the shortest, least complicated document is the most powerful. To say the charter is the foundation of the project is simplistic. It implies that as the project evolves people tend to forget about it because they are working on other elements. In fact, the charter is often referred to through all stages. The project manager's authority will be challenged at various points. If the charter is not strong enough and clear enough the project manager's ability will be eroded. A wise project manager seeks a written, rock solid mandate at the start. The time a project manager has the greatest amount of influence on the project is at the beginning when the negotiations are taking place regarding the project manager's scope and power. It is almost impossible to go back later and, successfully, ask for more. Get it all up front.
3. Q. Which is the source of most of the project manager's problems?
A. Within your own group you have the most influence. If there is trouble you usually have the clout to solve it. You have much less power outside your organization. Fortunately, most people out there don't care that much about you or what you are doing. They have little incentive to cause trouble. But inside your larger organization, and outside your project management office, is where the snakes slither. This is where the jealousy looms if you are successful and the joy erupts if you fail. Every dollar in your budget must come from someone else's pot. It is given up grudgingly. The praise you receive is resented by your contemporaries.
4. Q. Which words should be banned from a project management office?
A. Each is a euphemism; each is bandied about by those who want to use insider terms. Plain English is the victim. The discussion of paradigms makes for an interesting set of videotapes that look good but have little content. Empowerment is done only by those who actually do it, but they don't use the word. Facilitators often take over the meeting for their own personal advancement somewhat like a DJ at a wedding reception who forgets that the day belongs to the bride and groom. Rightsizing is dubious and cruel—employees who are affected are not only out of a job but told, by implication, that there is something wrong with them.
5. Q. Which expressions should be banned from a project management office?
A. Let's face it; no one can do more with less. We can only do less with less. Most people are already working as smart as they can. Total Quality Management, the daughter of Zero Defects, is a self-indictment (management admitting it does not have quality) by supervisors. Thinking outside the box often brings disaster; the real problem is that the box is not big enough. All of these are management fads that fade. But not soon enough.
6. Q. The project manager's primary duty is to accomplish the mission?
A. The job of the staff is to accomplish the mission. The job of the project manager is to support the staff. The project manager hires good people, trains them, gives them a goal, gets them the resources to do their work, rewards them when they succeed and stays out of their way. Every time the project manager gets involved in mission accomplishment he or she demoralizes the staff and interferes with operations.
7. Q. It is easier to stay on schedule than to get back on schedule?
A. As with budgeting, as soon as a project goes off schedule there are problems. The "I told you so" comments begin. Other aspects of the project are questioned. Support from external sources erodes. Invitations to parties are lost in the mail.
8. Q. The way to solve a serious problem is to focus on it?
A. Have you ever noticed that if you are driving and see a pothole in the road ahead, you hit it? The reason is your eyes are on the hole and you automatically steer toward where you are looking. You were concentrating on the problem. We all do that. When something bothers us we stew about it. What we should do is figure out what the solution is and devote all attention to that. On the road the correct response is to look to see if it is wiser to go around the pothole to the left or right. Then look at the route you will take and sure enough that is where the car will go. Same with a project. After you have analyzed the problem and developed a solution, forget about the problem. Spend all your time on the fix.
9. Q. There is no such thing as a "slip" in the schedule?
A. A project goes off schedule because either something happened or something didn't happen. "Slip" implies something without a known cause; a kind of accident. It's "just one of those things that happens" to projects. The truth is that the sources of going off schedule are but two: (1) Something went wrong within the project management office or (2) Some outside event had an adverse impact on the project. In other words, schedules either: (1) fall or (2) are pushed. They never just "slip."
10. Q. Time and schedule can be measured accurately; quality cannot?
A. Dollar and time measures are precise. Quality is not so easy. Or is it? Quality is in the eyes of the important beholders. That would of course be the customers. You will know how well you did by how happy they are (see Question 1). That happiness can be measured by asking them.
11. Q. "The organization does well what the project manager checks?"
A. We often hear something like, if I want it done right I have to do it myself. If that is true in a project management office there is real trouble. But since some project managers believe that, they check everything. In your job, how much of what you do every day does your boss know about? Probably very little. How often, unknown to your boss, in the last week did you do something to keep your boss out of trouble? Probably often. Then it is clear you do things well that are unchecked and you take care of the chief. So if you have chosen and developed your staff wisely, there is little need for your constant checking.
12. Q. E-mail has improved communications within the project management office?
A. E-mail has certainly added to communication attempts. We are deluged. But the problem is not just the amount; it is the receiver's inability to judge the intensity of the words. In a field test, the Army discovered that e-mail communications were not nearly as effective as voice. Picture this. The words transmitted are, "I need help." The words themselves are merely symbols. The meaning lies in how they are delivered. They could be off hand or they could be life threatening. True communications exist only in person.
13. Q. Among other duties, it is the project manager's job to defend the project?"
A. Defending the project is the job of the person in the organization who signed the charter. A project is seldom the idea of the project manager. It originated within the larger organization. That person, or group, wants the project done and it is their job to defend it. The project manager defends the way the project is being done.
14. Q. When your project is going through a review by a panel there is no such thing as a stupid question?
A. Just as surely as "The customer is always right" is wrong (the customer who brings back the large screen television for a refund the day after the Super Bowl) so too is the comment that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Project managers get them every day. The point is not to treat them as such.
15. Q. What are the three words project managers should say more often?
A. When we are wrong we look good if we admit it. The acknowledgement of credit given where it is deserved will endear the recipient to us.
16. Q. What are the two words project managers should say more often?
A. Appreciation must be shown for every act of support.
17. Q. What is the one word project managers should say more often?
A. Project managers take on too much. If you try to please everyone, no one will end up happy. Better to cut it off early than to disappoint later. The acceptance of every request ensures the project manager's burden will be too great. If saying "No" is hard, refer back to Question 2.

Some Like it Hot But the Hot Like it Cold: Adaptation to Thermal Regimes in the Marine Diatom Thalassiosira Pseudonana
Johnson, Evan
MetadataShow full item record
As climate change volatilizes environment conditions, it is more important than ever to understand how (and if) organisms adapt to altered thermal environments. A basic scientific understanding of thermal adaptation in marine diatoms is particularly imperative, given their substantial ecosystem services and rich applied value. Here, we explore thermal adaptation in marine diatoms with in vitro experimental evolution of Thalassiosira Pseudonana in two different thermal environments: 16 °C and 31 °C. After over two years of putative evolution, we tested for adaptation by first characterizing the growth of each algal population at both 16 °C and 31 °C, and then running computer simulations of resource competition between 16 °C-selected populations arid 31 °C selected populations. Surprisingly, in our simulations, the 31 °C-selected algae outcompeted the 16 °C when competing at 16 °C. Similarly, the 16 °C-selected algae outcompeted the 31 °C when competing at 31 °C. This pattern of "anti-adaptation" is difficult to explain. Further research is certainly needed to elucidate our results.

The River Wye follows the Wye Valley, rising above Buxton flowing eastward through Bakewell before finally joining the Derwent at Rowsley. This is perhaps Derbyshire's prettiest rivers with its limestone uplands and superb dales.
At Monsal Dale the valley widens, the steep sided Monsal Head provides spectacular views over the valley before the river reaches Ashford-in-the-Water, passing beneath what was a medieval packhorse bridge and then again at Bakewell where there is a 13th century bridge with five gothic arches before reaching Haddon Hall.
The old market town of Buxton nestles in the Derbyshire hills and at a height of 1,000 feet above sea level it is one of England's highest towns. Its fame as a health spa dates back to Roman times.
Bakewell has an equally ancient past being mentioned in the Doomsday Book and probably also occupied by the Romans. This beautiful, small market town is situated on the River Wye and has many pleasant walks from the bridge to the town centre where there are many shops, pubs and restaurants and one of the oldest markets in the area, dating back to 1300. The renowned Bakewell Show takes place on the first Wednesday and Thursday of August, attracting both the farming community and visitors from all over the region and beyond.
Apart from the many charming Peak District villages that can be found throughout the Wye Valley other nearby places of interest includes Chatsworth House, home of the Dukes of Devonshire and the grandest stately house in the region and Haddon Hall, a medieval manor house and home to the Dukes of Rutland situated on the River Wye.
Known as one of the wonders of the Derbyshire Peaks, Chatsworth House is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire

The Trans Pennine Trail is effectively a coast to coast trail between Southport and Hornsea, a total of over 200 miles.
The valley and its surrounding moorland contains a wealth of places to explore and enjoy. From majestic reservoirs, quiet forests to the wild open moorland there is something for everyone.
