Yashji! I love him. And I've already written a lot about him for his birthdays and such. Let's see if I can come up with something new!
Yashji had a unique ability with people. That's why I call him "Yashji" and his wife Pamela "Pam Aunty". Everyone in the industry calls them that. It's almost weird to hear them referred to as anything else. With Dilip Saheb, the "Sahab" is a gesture of enormous respect. It was added late in his career when he had earned that respect. "Ji" is an honorrific as well, but a bit of an intimate one. By the time Yashji had reached the peak of his career, he was too old for people to casually call him by his first name. But no one would have thought of calling him "Mr. Chopra" or "Chopra Sir" or anything like that. The kids who knew him from back then called him "Yash Uncle", everyone else called him "Yashji". And Pamela, she was Pam Aunty, whether you were 10 or 20 or 30. They were the Hindi film industry equivalent of that nice older couple on your block that always had cookies when you were little and were thrilled to see you when you came by during college break.
After Yashji died, people came out of the woodwork with stories. He would call everyone in the industry, whether he had ever worked with them or not, to wish them happy birthday. If he saw a movie and liked it, he would call you up and congratulate you on your performance. That was for strangers, people he had met maybe once at a party, or never. For his friends, the calls were daily, just to wish you good morning, see how you were doing today. When Jennifer Kendal was alive, Yash Chopra was the only figure from the Hindi film industry she allowed into her house. When Anupam Kher's father died, Yashji spoke for him at the prayer meet. And when Yash Chopra died, the entire Hindi film industry shut down. The Mumbai Film Festival was canceled, stars flew in from shoots all over the world, the only person who didn't come was Aamir Khan and that was because he was on Hajj. The only thing more important than being at that funeral was a religious pilgrimage.
This is why Yashji was a great, and unique, director. He loved the people he worked with, and he loved the characters he invented, and he saw them for the unique people each of them where. He made the rest of us see them that way too. He was a starmaker, Amitabh and Sridevi and Shahrukh, each of the biggest stars of Hindi film in the past 40 years, were made by Yashji. He wasn't their first director, but he was the one that found the kernel of who they were and brought it forth onscreen. Those were the three that Yashji really transformed, but everyone he worked with got something special from their Yash Chopra role, Parveen Babi to Anil Kapoor to Jackie Shroff to Juhi Chawla. We saw them, really saw them, in their roles. And we loved them because we saw them.
When Yash Chopra looked at a character, he wanted to understand why they were the way they were, and if they could be any other way. The conflicts in his movie weren't contrived, they came out of these characters and how they would react in certain situations. All Yashji did was come up with certain people, help his actors embody them, and then allow the conflict to arise once those people started started interacting with each other.
Yashji's last films are the ones people are most familiar with today. Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Veer-Zaara, Dil To Pagal Hai, those are the ones most readily available, most constantly played. And that is unfortunate, because those are the films where he had the loosest grasp on his characters. His stories are written to grow from the characters and the performances, not be inserted from above, and his last 3 films are a steadily decreasing series of logical characters. Dil To Pagal Hai had perfect clear characters in Karisma and Akshay. They were kind people who would be honest in their love and inspire those who they loved to try to be worthy. But they were also kind people who would immediately step back once they learned the ones they loved didn't love them back. It's with Madhuri and Shahrukh that Yashji stumbled, not so much in the characters as in the casting. Madhuri came off as too old for the naive fragile girl she was supposed to play, and Shahrukh came off as too young for the powerful producer he was supposed to be. The conflict between them, his resistance in giving in to love and her inability to turn away from it, that feels contrived, not something that comes naturally from the actors and characters. Veer-Zaara, another stumble. The goal was to establish three genuinely good people who recognize each other as fellow good people. Shahrukh and Preity, two folks who unite over trying to do a selfless thing. And then separate because they are both too selfless to put their own needs over others. And Rani is the third good person, who brings them together because it is the right thing to do. While the characters are perfectly drawn and cast in this case, the essential story doesn't work, the selfless decision Shahrukh and Preity make is more illogical than selfless. And both these problems are greatly expanded with Jab Tak Hain Jaan, the casting is all over the map, the logic of the characters motivations is no where. And this is how Yashji is now remembered.
Let us look, instead, at his classic film Silsila. SPOILERS START It's a love quadrangle, but besides the initial impetus (Shashi dying and leaving pregnant Jaya, forcing Amitabh to marry her and turn his back on his girlfriend Rekha who then has to marry Sanjeev), nothing is contrived. It is simply how these 4 people would react in this situation. Amitabh in this film is a romantic, the type who falls in love at first sight and then sends poetry. Jaya is cautious, the type who has to be wooed and won over time and is never really free to express what she wants. Rekha wants magic, flowers and poetry and signs of love. Sanjeev Kumar is casual and practical, takes life as it comes. Amitabh and Rekha are a perfect match, his passionate wooing matches her desire for magic. Of course they fall in love, and of course their marriages to other people can be easily set aside when they meet up again. Amitabh is too determined to believe in his perfect love story, and Rekha is too willing to be won over. And of course, Jaya will suspect what is happening but choose to be quiet and endure rather than push her demands on her husband. Of course Sanjeev will suspect as well but rather than reacting with drama, will react with tamped down practicality that lets Rekha pretend she isn't hurting him, just as Jaya's quietness lets Amitabh pretend she doesn't see what is happening. SPOILERS END
The details of the plot don't matter, how Jaya and Sanjeev started to suspect, how Amitabh and Rekha met again. The characters were always going to do these things, Amitabh and Rekha were always going to run into a fantasy while Sanjeev and Jaya were always going to dig in and make the best of things. The conflict was if Sanjeev and Jaya's patience was going to run out before Amitabh and Rekha's passion. If Rekha was going to break through her fantasy of romance, if Amitabh was going to give up on his stubborn determination to have true love. That's the conflict that fascinated Yashji, the internal conflict. He didn't want to make large loud obvious statements about society, he wanted to strip bare the inner lives of his characters and make statements about people, the things they do and why they do them.
Yashji's films tend to be dismissed as fantasies, big houses and fancy saris, escapism. But all of that was just to support the central story. In Lamhe, Sridevi has two roles, and part of us seeing the two characters as substantially different from each other is the way they are dressed differently. In Chandni, the big fantasy house of Rishi in the first half is to contrast with the small crowded room Sridevi rents in the second half. In Kabhi Kabhi, Amitabh's aggressively modern house is to show how he has rejected the old-fashioned poetry of his youth and embraced science and modern superficial life in his older age. It's not about the songs, the clothes, the sets, any of the "Yash Chopra" touches. It's about the humans in the stories. Whether you are watching Deewar or Trishul or Aaina or Darr or anything else, keep your eye on the characters. Crime film or family drama or thriller, it's the humans that matter.
Yashji told us that in his first film. The first movie he made was about a Muslim man adopting a baby born to a Hindu couple, and the first song he directed was titled "You Aren't Hindu or Muslim, but Human".

Newsletter March 2018
Edito - An enlarged network with a reinforced international and trans-sectoral dimension
Year after year, BiodivERsA is increasing its coverage to better tackle the challenges linked to the build-up of the European Research Area for biodiversity, ecosystem services and Nature-based solutions. Noticeably, in late 2017, three new members have joined the network: the Fund for Scientific Research-FNRS from Wallonia-Belgium, allowing us to better support the whole Belgium research community ; the Environmental Protection Agency from Ireland, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Israel, corresponding to two countries joining the BiodivERsA partnership. Through this enlargement, BiodivERsA improves its thematical and geographical coverage, which will offer new opportunities of research collaboration.
Further, since 2016, BiodivERsA has initiated a strong collaboration with the Belmont Forum through the BiodivScen Action and the launch of a joint call on 'Scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services'. Following the enlargement of BiodivERsA to ORs and OCTs in 2015, this collaboration will contribute to reinforce the international dimension of the BiodivERsA network and its activities. Thanks to the BiodivScen Action, BiodivERsA is indeed collaborating with funding agencies located worldwide (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Ivory Coast, USA). Also supported by the European Commission, the joint BiodivERsA-Belmont Forum call is announced to be a great success with more than 130 pre-proposals submitted and over 25 Mio Euro reserved to fund research projects. BiodivERsA might consider reiterating such collaboration with international partners for its future calls when relevant.
At the European level, BiodivERsA is pursuing its collaboration with other initiatives, and notably with the WATER-JPI and FACCE-JPI , for working at the crossroads of biodiversity and other related issues, such as agriculture, climate change and water management. Hopefully these collaborations will lead to the implementation of joint actions, including calls, and contribute to better tackle trans-sectoral issues.
In this newsletter, you will learn more about the BiodivScen Action and joint call. You will also find information on the three latest BiodivERsA policy briefs. As regards the impacts of BiodivERsA-funded projects, you will discover the societal outputs of the SalmoInvade project, funded through the 2012-2013 BiodivERsA call and scientific outputs of the REGARDS project, funded through the 2011-2012 BiodivERsA call. Finally, this newsletter highlights the profile of two BiodivERsA partners who recently joined the network, i.e. F.R.S.-FNRS (Wallonia, Belgium) and the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (Ireland).
Contents of the Newsletter:
- Start of the BiodivScen action: reinforcing international research on the development of biodiversity scenarios

Healthcare in the U.S. is expensive, complicated, and slow. The U.S. spends $3.5T on healthcare every year (almost 30% of which is covered by the federal government), and this number is projected to rise with an aging population, extended life expectancy, and struggling social security system. This looming crisis has spurred tech giants and startups to develop technologies to lower costs in order to meet the needs of the 20.6% of Americans who will be over the age of 65 by 2030.
The NewtonX Healthcare Vertical conducted a survey with current and former executives at these tech healthcare companies, including at Google, HealX, Apple, and Oscar to survey the market for hacking healthcare. The data and insights in this article are derived from this survey.
Living longer is bad for business – but AI may be able to change that
AI has the potential to lower patient and operating costs significantly. Currently, roughly 25% of American hospital expenses go to administrative infrastructure— as compared to Canada's 12%. A large part of administrative expenses have to do with long hospital stays and insurance complications. AI can reduce hospital stays both through integrated patient data programs and through doctor assistance tools. For instance, QualComm's AlertWatch:OR AI product gives real-time analysis of patient data during surgeries, which reduces average hospital stays according to research done on the tool.
Additionally, there are numerous healthcare startups aimed at integrating and streamlining healthcare data and hospital stays. In 2009, just 16% of U.S. hospitals were using an electronic health records system; now, over 85% of hospitals use electronic health records. By leveraging patient data and gaining access to crucial records, hospitals can improve efficiency and time to diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosis is another area in which AI can help with early detection and accuracy — both of which could cut down on hospital stays and free up doctors' time. Most AI-powered diagnostic tools are being built by tech giants and/or healthcare startups.
Tech in Healthcare is a trillion dollar opportunity: what VCs, startups and tech giants are doing about it
Recently, Apple hired over 50 doctors to work on products like health sensors for Apple Watch and health records management systems. As we recently wrote, Amazon has put together a 12-person Alexa Information Group Health and Wellness team and hired a HIPAA Compliance Lead, in addition to acquiring PillPack for almost $1B. Google has rolled out a diabetes management system, an AI that can diagnose over 50 common eye diseases, and an AI that can diagnose metastatic breast cancer with 99% accuracy. And these moves into the healthcare sector haven't gone uncontested: hundreds upon hundreds of healthcare startups have received VC backing to be the first company to hack healthcare.
Indeed, healthcare startups have raised over $15 billion in 2018, an increase of over 70% in the same period the prior year. The highest funded of these is a startup called Grail, that could conceivably compete with similar systems from Stanford University scientists, Google, IBM, and Tokyo's Showa University, to detect various types of cancer earlier and more accurately than human doctors. The second most highly funded startup, Clover Health, uses AI-powered analytics to help seniors and private holders of Medicare find more affordable insurance options.
The New Frontiers: Affordable Senior Health Monitoring, AI-powered Administrative Tasks, and Cancer Diagnosis
The three areas that NewtonX identified as having the most interest in terms of investment are senior health monitoring (an area that Amazon is moving into), AI-powered administrative health tools, and cancer diagnosis. If AI successfully augments each of these areas, it will lower costs for consumers and improve the efficiency of the healthcare system. With a rapidly aging population, both of these outcomes will become increasingly necessary, spurring even more investment in the space.

eyword modern bedroom storage
These bench seats are available in a number of different sizes to fit you, two, three and even four people. Make certain to check the sturdiness of this bench seat you're interested in particularly the 2, 3, and 4 seat models when the purchase price appears to be fairly low. There are a number of cheaper chairs that are inexpensive for a reason and that's typically due to the construction materials used. Just by choosing a friend or two with you when trying to find a bench you'll be able to place the seat to the test for sturdiness.
If you're searching for a specific look or design for your storage bench seat and can not seem to find something already made, then you might wish to acquire something custom made for your own specifications. There are a couple of approaches to go about this, and that's by getting a carpenter to build one for you or obtaining some plans and making one yourself. This way you will end up with the specific design to meet your needs. So as you can see, an outside storage bench will definitely fix your outside seating problems and provide you some great storage space in the exact same time.

3 Little-Known Facts About Bogle Beagle and Boxer Mix Puppies
- Boxers (its parent breed) come from an extinct breed called the Bullenbeisser, a large breed that influenced mastiffs and bulldogs. Bullenbeissers were dogs that were bred in Germany to capture large game such as bears and boars. Once boar hunting slowed down, smaller versions of the Bullenbeisser was made in Belgium to act like cattle and server dogs. By 1985, the first boxer dog was made as a predecessor.
- In World War I, the Boxer was used to aid German Soldiers. In World War II, the dog helped American soldiers by carrying supplies and messages, and they would help wounded soldiers that are on the battlefield. After the war, Boxers are more popular and were registered in the United Kennel Club (UKC) during 1948.
- The Beagle comes from the word "begueule" a French word that means "gaped throat," and the Beagles live up to their namesake. Also, they are a vocal dog breed, as they can make different sounds: a howl, a yodel-like sound, and a standard bark.
Physical Traits of the Bogle Beagle and Boxer Mix
The Bogle has a long body, drooping ears, and is muscular. They have a dense and smooth coat that has a low to moderate shedding.
Their fur colors come in black, tan, brown, white, or any combination of these colors.
How Big is a Full-Grown Bogle?
A full-grown Bogle is about 50-60lbs. While its a medium-sized dog, their weight is determined based on genetics and the quality of food that they're eating.
Be careful not to overfeed them as they can become overweight.
What is the Life Expectancy of the Bogle?
Most bogle beagle and boxer mix dogs have a life expectancy of 12-15 years. Thus, their life expectancy is higher than most dogs within their size range.
This is dependent on how they have raised and the quality of care they are given.
Intelligence, Temperament and Personality Traits of the Bogle
We cannot stress this enough, you have exposed your Bogle puppies to dogs, children, and other people so that they become well-rounded dogs that aren't aggressive towards animals or people.
Their Boxer genes will make them wary around strangers, so they'll bark when strangers enter your house or at the sound of a doorbell.
But, once they realize the stranger is a friend, they'll respond to them in a friendly manner.
Around adults, the Bogle is loving, patient, and a joy to be around. They love to play fetch with balls, roughhousing with owners, playing Frisbee, or run around in the grass.
When not playing around, they can be seen enjoying their family and having fun.
The Bogle's Diet
A meal that has 25% protein is needed for this active breed. An adult Bogle will need about 2-3 cups of dog food regularly.
And you can include some carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes and brown rice in your dog's diet. Give your pet eggs, fish, carrots, pumpkins, and raw meat.
How Much Exercise does a Bogle need?
A bogle beagle and boxer mix is exuberant and needs a lot of opportunities to release its energy positively.
The dog enjoys 30-40 minute walks and jogs with their family. Create a fenced yard in your house to help stimulate their body and mind.
You can also play fetch with your dog or let them participate in fun activities such as agility, flyball, dock jumping, and rally.
You don't have to treat your bogle beagle and boxer mix harshly. Resort to consistent, firm training methods and ensure that you reward their behavior with treats.
Also, expose your dog to strangers when they're young. This prevents them from becoming aggressive and ill-tempered.
Besides basic obedience training, you need to house train your puppies to help them learn good etiquettes and habits.
On average, you're going to have to walk your bogle beagle and boxer mix for at least 50 minutes a day.
This will give them enough exercise to prevent them from being obese and also keeping them mentally and physically stimulated.
The Bogle is a calm dog, despite their beagle heritage. They are patient and do well with children when socialized properly.
However, this energetic dog might not get along with children under 5 years old. Teach your children how to approach and interact with a dog, and never leave them outside of your supervision.
Your bogle beagle and boxer mix might not tolerate having a cat within their living quarters. The cat's willingness to leave and their small size might excite the prey within in their mind.
In order for your Bogle to live with other others, you will have to socialize them by allowing them to play with other dogs.
The Beagle is an independent parent that can be hard to train, but it's Boxer's genes helps even out the Bogle.
Consistent and early training will help you train this dog correctly. But the bogle beagle and boxer mix aren't recommended for first-time dog owners or owners who don't have enough time devoted to training them.
Bogle Health and Conditions
Even though the Bogle is a mixed breed, it doesn't mean that they are immune to health issues. There is a chance that they might receive the following health conditions
- Congenital Heart Defect
- Intervertebral Heart Disease
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
Their health conditions are highly dependent on how they are raised, what they eat, and how much medical care they are given.
It's your responsibility to take care of your bogle beagle and boxer mix so they can become healthy and confident dogs.
Grooming Advice
Depending on the stronger genes that it inherits from its parent breeds, the Bogle will have little to mild levels of shedding throughout the year.
Therefore, to keep excess fur at bay and avoid suffering through the symptoms of aggravated allergies, it is important to brush your pet with a brush thoroughly and regularly.
Brush through its fur coat at least two to three times a week, if not every other day.
Routine grooming will keep its coat looking healthy and tangle-free while also ensuring that loose fur and dead skin is removed properly.
This a non-hypoallergenic pet, so brushing and combing excessively is imperative if you want to keep excess fur from sticking to your furniture and clothes or flowing in the air and entering your lungs.
As opposed to several other breeds, the Bogle is not a smelly dog and thus will not require a bath too often.
So if you bathe your Bogle every few months or only when necessary, it will suffice as long as weekly grooming is maintained.
The emphasis on grooming, apart from removing loose hair, is to regulate oil distribution throughout its skin, improve blood circulation, and remove dead skin that may cause the stink that is often associated with hounds.
Also, make sure to keep its teeth and gums healthy by brushing them at least twice a week.
This will allow you to keep an eye on any oral issues and keep diseases at bay.
The Bogle is not a drooler, so if it starts to do that, it may be indicative of a dental issue or an infection of the gum and should be instantly checked by a professional.
Finally, regular clipping of the nails is highly recommended for the Bogle to keep it safe from infections or injuries.
Can it travel by car?
Your Bogle Beagle Boxer is a member of your family and as such, it should not be left behind when you go out on your car, whether to short or long trips, since this dog can travel very well by car.
It is extremely important to first take your pet on short test drives before going on the actual, long journey.
This will help you understand your dog's behavior during a car ride so you can adjust accordingly for the final ride.
Along with this, just to be safe and sure, visit your vet once and inquire whether your dog is fit to travel, even though Bogle Beagle Boxers do not usually exhibit any troublesome behavior during car rides.
Even though a Bogle Beager Boxer is of a small size which is ideal to fit on a car seat comfortably, it is better to have a reliable and sturdy dog harness to further ensure the safety of your dog.
It is very important to take care of your pet's dietary needs during the entirety of the trip.
Make sure you pack enough dog food and water to easily last the estimated duration of the ride along with any additional time due to unforeseeable circumstances.
If you are giving special food to your dog during the ride, which your pet is not in the habit of eating, give it in small quantities first.
Carrying a water bowl fit for car rides can help you as you will not have to give water to your dog again and again, and it can simply drink from the bowl whenever it wants.
Also, do not forget to take short exercise, walking, or potty breaks once every two to three hours as the Bogle Beagle Boxer can get tired and irritated quickly if it sits in an enclosed space for too long.
My Final Thoughts On The Bogle
Lastly, the Bogle is one of the most interesting dog breeds that you'll find.
Not only is it calm, but it also listens to your commands once you give them positive reinforcement and a firm hand in training.
Conclusively, you should get this dog if you're willing to get a dog that's ready to be loyal and dedicated to entertaining your family.

Kuching - Semenggoh Nature Reserve
Another interesting place to visit in Kuching is the Semenggoh Nature Reserve, which is located about 25 km from the Kuching town centre. There, you will also find the Orang Utan Santuary where you can see orang utans which have been left very much in their natural habitat. The feeding times are between 9.00 to 10.00 a.m. and between 3.00 to 3.30 p.m.
There is no guarantee that you will see the orang utans, as they sometimes do not come out on cue, especially if they are not hungry. However, on my several visits to the Sanctuary, I was lucky enough to see the orang utans every time.
They are an amazing sight, and the baby orang utans are really cute ! This is really highly recommended for children, it is an experience they will remember for a long time.
As it's a nature reserve, you can also trek through the jungle to get a feel of the tropical rainforest. You will be able to see many of the indigeneous plant species native to Sarawak.

GLITTER WIZARD + THE FEMINISTS 12.06.19 in Berlin, Urban Spree
Tickets zu GLITTER WIZARD Berlin
Glitter Wizard is a Santa Cruz band that wants to sex you up. Fucking doom glam, dood! The current lineup includes Wendy Stonehenge (vox/struts), Rio Deluxe (bass/dungeon lore), Cornelious Wankswright (shredding/wah master), and Diamonds (keys/glamour), and Danny Von Baltimore (beats/tokes). Pot smoke comes out of their amps.
Ex-shredder Cornelious Wankswright was kidnapped by pirate ghosts.
After two years spent suffering from Spinal Tap syndrome, Stonehenge relocated to SF and started over with an all new Wizard lineup. They are slowly conquering the world.
Support: The Feminists
Once, there was darkness on the face of the earth.
And the people were in chains, mind forg'd chains, chains of the patriarchy.
And they did follow the rule.
And the sky was darkened and the Mother Earth was silently weeping.
And her frustration grew, as she watched her daughters in their suppression.
Until she could take it no more.
And with her green electrity of wildness
threw a line to a piano
And a drumkit
A guitar
And from out of the darkness, came a crack
A holy crack, through which the light began to flood
A light of wonder and mystery,
Wild inspiration from the soul of the female and the soul of the earth
And she brought her inspiration to all of those that sought her holy truths
And through disguise and ritual and rhythm and chaos, they found their way to her temple
And screamed her praise to the gathered masses
BEHOLD! I give you THE WAY
BEHOLD! I give you…. THE FEMINISTS!!!

More Tennesseans are getting a taste of fresh, locally grown food from beyond the grocery store. Often, consumers get this food through a local farm's community supported agriculture program, or CSA. Members sign up to receive a share of the farm's in-season produce or meats each week. Traditionally, items are delivered or picked up by the member at a drop site. However, more and more farms are moving toward a market-style model, giving their members a chance to pick up shares right on the farm – and a chance to make even more of a connection with the farming community.
Part of the 'Farmily'
At Allenbrooke Farms in Spring Hill, every CSA share that is sold is picked up at the property. "We're only 3 miles out of town, but it still saves a lot of time and cost for delivery," says Daniel Allen, who farms 12 certified organic acres with his wife, Stephanie.
Allenbrooke Farms' CSA grew from 99 members in 2012 to 375 members in 2016.
"We both quit our jobs in 2011 and sold our car to buy seeds," Stephanie says. "We call it our CSA 'Farmily.' Many of our Farmily members from the first year are still with us, and we've seen their families grow as they've seen our farm and family grow."
Strengthening Business
After Byron Hill's early retirement from the hospitality industry, he and his wife, Lynn, started Hill Family Farm in White House in 2014. The couple's son, Chris, also works at the farm. The farm has a CSA program. According to Byron, on-farm pickups help build the local CSA community. "When you bring people out to the farm, they become a part of it," Byron says. "They see what we're doing and how we raise our animals. We get to spend a little time with them, and their kids get to see the farm."
The farm's CSA grew from 14 members in its first year to 85 in 2016, with a goal to grow to 125 members in 2017, with on-farm pickups only. Hill Family Farm sells produce, pork, chicken and eggs. "Our produce CSA members are likely to buy some eggs or they might buy some chicken or pork when they're here to pick up their shares," Byron says. "That has helped grow our farm sales."
Picking and Choosing
Farms offering on-farm CSA pickups are also giving members more choices of what to take home. Allenbrooke Farms provides its members total choice from the food it grows.
"They grab an empty basket, and as they go through the line, they get to fill it up with whatever they want. It's a buffet," Stephanie says. Byron says having the ability to pick what items they want is becoming more important to consumers in a CSA program. "We are moving toward only limiting choice when it comes to a few products we have less of, like strawberries," says Byron, who grows 3 to 4 acres of both fruits and vegetables.
Some CSA members still enjoy the challenge of a CSA share that encourages seasonal eating, Byron adds. "Even while providing choice, we're sure to talk up some of the crops they may be less familiar with and offer recipes and cooking tips, encouraging them to try different produce," he says. Allenbrooke Farms encourages its members to take on new food adventures. Stephanie offered cooking and other demonstrations on the farm, but she had to move them to a larger location to accommodate more people because of increased interest. One of the biggest benefits of on-farm pickups is that it frees farmers to do what they do best: grow food. You can find a CSA near you at picktnproducts.org and on the Pick TN Products mobile app.

One might wonder where one begins.
So did I.
But the answer is age-old…
Step by step.
Stay safe folks. xoxo, Jen
I remember when I used to live where it snowed quite a bit and often. Thankfully, I do not usually have to endure that any more. It is beautiful though. Stay safe.
Be careful, Jen. I think my shoveling days are over. Never thought I'd say this, but it might be time to start paying someone to do this. :-( And it use to be so much fun ;-)

"That creates a culture of immediate gratification, unwillingness to compromise, and objectification.
"The key is to find someone who's financially self sufficient, who can at the very least take care of him or herself without depending on you," says Dr. If you had a child with someone you broke up with, learning how to co-parent will keep things positive and avoid any drama with new dating prospects who enter your life.
"When we're young, we don't have a ton of life experience," says Dr. "Not all 20-something's are that way, but it does take a while for women to figure out who we are as a person, and develop the strength to assert ourselves and make good boundaries and know who – and what – we want." Bottom line: Figuring out who you are is something you owe yourself, and something that will help you find a more suitable partner in the future.
It can be tempting to vent on Facebook about how stubborn an ex is being, or share how happy you are in if you've found a relationship with someone new.
"The most appropriate time is when you have a solid commitment that he or she will help change diapers, and cheer your child on," says Silvia.
"If that's not there, there's no need to introduce him or her to your family unit." Money isn't everything, but a potential date's financial situation should matter to you when you're a mother.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College appears in these rankings:
50 Best Value Alternative Graduate Schools in the West
10 Best Value Online Schools in Indiana
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College was established in 1840 by French-American Saint Mother Théodore Guérin, who was canonized for founding the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Upon its charter in 1846, SMWC became Indiana's first women's higher education institution. It wasn't until 2015 that Saint Mary-of-the-Woods became co-educational to welcome diversity into its student body of 1,700. Endowed for $9.5 million, the Catholic college occupies a 67-acre suburban campus slightly northwest of Terre Haute near the Wabash River for face-to-face and online teaching. As part of the College Consortium of Western Indiana, SMWC also allows enrollment at Indiana State University and the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
According to the U.S. News, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is the Midwest's 18th best regional college with 80 percent retention. Niche graded Woods with an "A" for safety and "B+" for educational value. College Factual ranked SMWC within the country's top 1 percent of special education programs. The Indianapolis Business Journal applauded SMWC for having one of Indiana's largest online divisions with 800+ students. Victory Media placed Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College upon its "2017 Military Friendly School" list. Washington Monthly honored SMWC as the 42nd best baccalaureate institution in America. Bestcolleges.com picked Woods as the seventh top online Catholic university too.

The Windows 10 Mail app updated last week but one of the changes made in it slipped under the radar until today.
Originally noticed by MSPU, the Mail app has now swapped out the "Sent from Windows 10 Mobile" signature for the newer, and slightly ambiguous, "Sent from my Windows 10 device."
The likely reason for this change is that Microsoft is phasing out Windows 10 Mobile Windows phones and doesn't see the point in advertising an abandoned product in their users' emails. Changing the signature to "Windows 10 device" essentially promotes all Windows 10 devices such as the Surface Pro, Go, Studio, etc. It's a smart marketing movie.
Of course this change could also be hint at future Windows 10 devices such as the rumored Surface Phone (codenamed Andromeda) but there's really no way to know for sure. The Mail app on Windows 10 computers and tablets still says its old "Sent from Mail for Windows 10" signature message so this hasn't been a change across all devices, only on Windows 10 Mobile.
What do you think? Is this Microsoft just sweeping Windows phone under the rug or are they prepping for the launch of a new product? Speculate in the comments below and then follow us on Twitter for more Windows 10 device news.

SWM Classic
Rerun? No it's a "classic" episode. Ya, it's a rerun. Working all weekend, feeling tired and getting a tooth pulled early next week adds up to airing a "classic". I've had teeth pulled before, before they gave me braces I had overcrowding to deal with. I was awake while they pulled FOUR teeth. Remember one flying across the room. Fun times.
Episode is from April and one people have been searching for the last few days apparently. First hour an interview with Tim Baker from Hey Rosetta! and tracks from their latest CD.
Then live music from Teresa Ennis during ECMA weekend. Live music from Blue Rodeo, from a promotional EP only given to radio stations in the mid 90's.
Good content for a 'rerun'. You can listen to it now, or wait for it to play around 6pm on the radio.
Back next week with a new episode, quite a bit of blues is the plan with Limestone Blues Festival in town. Tape that ahead of time this Monday, before my trip to the dentist the next day. Fun summer evening that will be.

Mangotsfield United 2 - 0 Tiverton TownMonday 16/04/2001 Southern League First Division
|Nigel Davis
The lesson to be learnt from this bruising encounter is that' if you want to mix it' be careful and suss out the officials. Mangotsfield pushed them to their limit but didn´t go the extra mile. Tivvy' in the shape of Stuart Smith' had no self-control and paid the price with two yellow cards in the first half leading to his dismissal after 41 minutes. It seems that' despite being talked to prior to the game' Smith was psyched up and all he could see was a red mist. Surely the time has come for him to be omitted from the big games as he is becoming a liability to himself and the club. There are no problems in the majority of matches but he seems unable to take a cool' calm' collected approach to the red-hot clashes.
Paul Chenoweth needed time to recover from his injury picked up last week. Although he was named on the bench' it would have been foolish to throw him into the fray too early. With Dave Toomey still recovering from a knock picked up at Rocester' it was imperative that Phil Everett started up front - so he too was unable to fill the left wing-back role. Hence Smith´s inclusion.
Unsurprisingly' Smith was booked in the opening minutes - as were Mangotsfield´s Scott Hendy and Dave Elsey' the latter for a scuffle with Steve Winter that looked to some as Elsey had thrown a couple of punches although it was described afterwards as ´handbags´. But it was surprising that he stayed on the park following a further incident in the second half - more of that later. The other miscreant' also in the first half' was Scott Rogers whose rash challenge on Jon Crowley in the 28th minute was totally unnecessary.
The pitch was' curiously' bone hard and' unfortunately' very cut up. Consequently there was little of the passing game on show. Both sides resorted to hacking the ball high and long at every opportunity and Mangostfield´s tigerish tactics meant that little time was afforded Tivvy when they were on the ball. And the tactics worked because they became the only side to ensure that they kept a clean sheet against Tivvy this season. Sutton Coldfield Town are the only other side who can claim this honour' the two clubs still yet to meet this season.
By the time that Smith was trudging towards the dressing room' Tivvy had fallen behind following a somewhat dubious free kick awarded just inside their half. But it should have been dealt with as it was meat and drink to Paul Edwards. He probably thought so as well because' as is his wont' he glanced right to see who he could throw the ball to. In that instant' the wind caught the ball' which is more than can be said for Eddie. He only succeeded in flapping at it and' as the ball plummeted to earth' it was unfortunate that it appeared to make contact with Neil Saunders´ knee' falling invitingly for Scott Hendy to lash it home. That was after 34 minutes and it was virtually the first shot on target.
The second half was all Tivvy and it was amazing to realise that they did it with ten men - but there was no way through despite some dubious challenges by John Crowley in and out of the box.
And' of course' that other offence by Dave Elsey on Steve Winter after 64 minutes whereby he grabbed hold of Winter´s shirtsleeve' ripping it off. Referee Dean Miller saw it and' grinning' ordered Elsey to pick it up and hand it to Winter who' by now' was 40 yards away' preparing to take a throw-in. If shirt-ripping is not a bookable offence' I don´t know what is - and that would have been his second of the game and given Tivvy a chance.
Mangotsfield' on their rare forays forward' always looked the more dangerous and it needed excellent defending to keep them at bay' the best of which came from a double save by Paul Edwards to deny Nick Brooks in the 88th minute.
But it was not to be and' as the game crept into the fourth minute of injury time' Mangotsfield broke away with Darren Edwards running onto a through ball to chip it over his namesake Paul to make it 2-0. This was just a couple of minutes after Keviun Nancekivell was inches away from an equaliser following a superb cross by Richard Pears' on a few minutes earlier for Phil Everett.
This result, put into perspective, was not as drastic as it seemed because Tivvy still have promotion in their own hands. This was because Hinckley had defeated Mangotsfield last week - and Evesham had slipped up at Redditch whilst playing Solihull Borough on Monday evening, but they cannot afford to drop any more points and that is a tough enough task when you are playing twice a week. Playing four/five times a week and it will need a Herculean effort. A draw against Evesham would mean that Mangotsfield would also have to drop points. The team that seems to hold the key to promotion is Solihull Borough who, according to my records, still have to play Tivvy, Hinckley and Evesham once and Mangotsfield twice.
Indeed, they are very much in the promotion hunt themselves - but are similarly shackled by the compressed run-in to the end of the season.
Line up: 1 Paul Edwards, 2 Steve Winter, 3 Neil Saunders, 4 Paul Tatterton, 5 Nicky Marker, 6 Scott Rogers, 7 Kevin Nancekivell, 8 Steve Ovens, 9 Phil Everett, 10 Steve Daly, 11 Stuart Smith.
Subs: 12 Pete Conning (Scott Rogers 79), 14 Richard Pears (Phil Everett 85), 15 Paul Chenoweth.

I love salads. I have at least one salad every single day. I'll throw leftover quinoa, lentils or black beans on my salad for a protein source but most often I use chickpeas. I love chickpeas! They'll so small and round and cute. As much as I love them even I get sick of the same boring salad day after day. I needed to add a little pizazz to my salad and these crunchy, crispy garlic flavored 'chicktons' were just the thing! While they are perfect as a salad topper, they are also wonderful as a snack all by themselves. My daughter loved them and ate almost my whole batch.
For the Toasted Garlic Chickpea Croutons
- 1 can (15 ounces) no salt added chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 3 tbsp Garlic Gold Oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp minced onion
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
For the Baby Greens Salad
- mixed baby greens
- mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- red onion (thinly sliced)
- any other of your favorite veggies
- Tangy French Vinaigrette
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas in a colander.
- Lay out on paper towels, cover with another paper towel and roll around until the chickpeas are dry.
- In a medium sized bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients and add in the dried chickpeas. Mix well.
- Spoon the chickpeas in a single layer onto a non stick baking sheet and place on the middle rack in the oven.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so.
- Remove from oven and let cool (the chickpeas will crisp as they cool).
- Add your baby greens, mushrooms and onions to a large bowl. Sprinkle with toasted garlic chickpea croutons and top with Tangy French Vinaigrette.

Despite shattering fundraising records in the state, Democrat Mikie Sherrill holds only a slight lead over Republican opponent Assemblyman Jay Webber in the race to represent the 11th Congressional District. According to the latest Monmouth University Poll, released yesterday, voters favor Sherrill 48 percent to 44 percent over Webber.
"The basic contours of this race have not changed. Even though Republicans have the edge in party affiliation, many are not happy with the president or key GOP initiatives such as the tax reform plan," Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute said in a press release.
The recent controversy over the nomination — and subsequent confirmation — to the Supreme Court of Judge Brett Kavanaugh amid accusations of sexual assault has not had a measurable effect on the race, the poll found. According to the Monmouth data, a clear majority of 11th District voters (78 percent) reported that Kavanaugh's confirmation has not caused them to change their intended vote. Ten percent said the Kavanaugh issue has made them more likely to support Webber, 8 percent said it has made them more likely to support Sherrill, and 3 percent said it has made them more undecided.
The results are in line with where the race stood in Monmouth's June poll, showing Sherrill ahead by 4 points (44 percent – 40 percent), with 15 percent undecided. Although this time around, fewer voters (6 percent) identify as undecided.

Catching God's Attention
Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the
Italian Regiment. 2He and all his family were devout and God-fearing;
he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3One
day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel
of God, who came to him and said, "Cornelius!" 4Cornelius
stared at him in fear. "What is it, Lord?" he asked. 5The
angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a
memorial offering before God. Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named
Simon who is called Peter. Acts 10:1-5 NIV
Cornelius was a man who caught God's attention in a special way. He and his family "were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly" (Acts 10:2 NIV). God sent an angel to visit Cornelius and give him encouragement and specific guidance. In the Amplified version, the angel said, "Your prayers and your [generous] gifts to the poor have come up [as a sacrifice] to God and have been remembered by Him" (Acts 10:4 AMP).
If we consider for a moment the billions of people on the earth, it's remarkable that God would take time out of his busy schedule to speak to any of us. Yet, the scripture tells us that God's thoughts toward each of us outnumber the sand grains at the seashore (Psalm 139:17-18)! Cornelius' reverence for God, generosity and prayer caught God's attention. As a result, God chose him and his household as the first Gentiles to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Cornelius' model can be used as a simple
yardstick for our lives. Are we cultivating daily habits that honor God? Are
we giving generously to those around us in need?
Are we praying to God regularly? If
we make it a priority to do these things consistently, we will catch God's
attention! In response, God may
bring a blessing our way that we didn't expect.
As a faith builder, we can think on this verse: "How
great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which
you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you"
(Psalm 31:19
for further thought:
"Dear God, Thank you for the story of Cornelius and how he caught your attention in a special way. Father, please lead me in following Cornelius' example. Specifically, please help me to ______________(list areas where improvement is needed). Thank you for the great goodness that you store up for those who fear you and that you bestow it on those who take refuge in you. Father, teach me how to fear you and take refuge in you daily. Thank you! In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

Maintenance-driven energy efficiency
Enormous improvements to the energy efficiency of old-style fluorescent lighting systems can be made at the same time as reducing maintenance costs, without having to rip out existing fittings, as Aidan Salter explains.
Replacing a light bulb can seem like a straightforward task. However, in a large building, where the lighting is comprised of hundreds or even thousands of fluorescent lamps, there can be massive disruption when a lamp fails.
Within a working environment, there is typically protocol to follow. A maintenance technician must be called for, who is likely to be called away from completing more important tasks. In the interim, a dark or poorly-lit room might become a health and safety hazard, or simply render a space unworkable — leaving staff to twiddle their thumbs as they wait for the situation to be rectified. In a building that is open to the public, such as a hotel, shop or attraction, a dead lamp looks unprofessional and invites customer complaints.
If a building uses a thousand fluorescent lamps, which are on half the time, then, on average, half the fluorescent lamps must be replaced each year. It is easy to see how lighting maintenance can cause regular disruptions, with costs mounting. With this in mind, more and more building managers are looking to improve the lighting efficiency of their premises — not just in a bid to cut energy use, but also as a way to reduce their maintenance burden.
The energy efficiency of new-generation, low-energy lamps is well established, with T5 fluorescent lamps able to cut energy consumption in lighting by up to 65%. However, an overlooked benefit of energy-efficient lighting is the long lifespan of the lamps.
An old-style fluorescent lamp tends to have an average life of 7000 to 8000 h, dependent on switching cycles. An energy-efficient T5 lamp can last for 30 000 h on the same switching cycle. With lamps lasting more than three times as long, a technician needs to be called out substantially less often. If, for example, the old-style lamp needed to be replaced once every two years, the new T5 lamp should require replacing only once every six years. LED lamps, generally used for directional or spot lighting, are also reaching market viability. Although some LEDs suffer lumen degradation, a good-quality LED can last 50 000 h or more, cutting the maintenance burden even further.
When The Flambards Experience, a Cornish amusement park, chose to install 349 energy-efficient lamps of varying sizes across its site, maintenance was very much an issue. For a theme park that is open to the public, offering a good standard of lighting is obviously a must. And, since making sure all the rides are running correctly is the maintenance staff's top priority, spending less time maintaining lighting levels was an important consideration.
Physical and technical differences between the old and new styles of lamps have previously required the old light fittings to be ripped out and replaced before energy-efficient lamps could be installed. However, Flambards opted for a retrofit technology when upgrading its lighting, using Save It Easy from Energys Group to enable new-generation T5 lamps to be plugged into the existing fittings.
The higher efficiency of the new lamps, plus the more efficient control gear in the Save It Easy units, typically adds up to combined energy savings of 37 to 65%, according to size of lamp being used. Energys has also recently launched the Save It Easy LED replacement lamp for 2D fittings, which replaces 2D lamps in the existing fittings. The new lamps considerably reduce the wattage needed and typically last six times longer than the old-style equivalents.
As a result of its lighting upgrade, Flambards is set to save about £2200 each year on its electricity bills, with annual savings of 12 t of carbon.
Paul Morris, technical services manager with Flambards, comments, 'The Save It Easy units were simple enough to install that our onsite team could easily handle all the installation work. We were concerned about the brightness of the new lamps, but the light quality has turned out to be even better than before. We've also found the Save It Easy equipment so durable that, in the nine months since the installation, we have had to carry out no lighting maintenance.'
Another client that has reduced its maintenance burden through improved energy efficiency is Warwickshire County Council. Following a successful first installation at its headquarters, Shire Hall, where its annual electricity bills were cut by £15 649, the council is now rolling out Save It Easy installations to all of the properties that it manages —including office buildings, schools and maintenance depots across the Warwickshire.
With Government spending cuts already taking place, achieving true cost efficiency in public sector buildings has never been more essential.
In particular, the Summer months are a good time to replace lighting systems, since natural light is in abundance. By the time the gloom of the Autumn rolls around and artificial lighting is needed once more, the new systems can be in place and have a substantially lower burden in terms of both energy use and maintenance.
Aidan Salter is managing director of Energys Group.

Eneslow at 110
Legendary New York City retail shoe and pedorthic/orthotic center is looking ahead.
Eneslow, New York's iconic retail shoe and pedorthic/orthotic center, is celebrating its 110th birthday in a grand way: It's opening another retail store.
The new store, at 1319 Third Ave. in Manhattan, is the fourth in the family-run business enterprise.
"We're hopeful this location is a sweet spot," says Robert S. Schwartz, the president and CEO of Eneslow Pedorthic Enterprises, which runs the company. "The neighborhood, in this, a walking city, fits our demographic like a custom shoe. Our customers are professionals and baby boomers; 80 percent are women."
The two-floor, 4,200-square-foot store offers the same selection of men's and women's comfort footwear and foot-care products as the company's other stores.
"The stock is curated by Eneslow from factories all over the world, with a heavy emphasis on Euro brands," Schwartz says. "Custom orthotics, footwear and repair services also are offered in each store."
Eneslow's 16,000-square-foot, three-level Park Avenue flagship store includes a 1,000-square-foot custom workshop where shoes and orthotics are made to order, modified and repaired. It houses the Eneslow Pedorthic Institute, a pedorthic education and training center. Eneslow's pedorthists are trained at the institute and credentialed by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics.
The new Third Avenue store is twice as big as its Second Avenue sibling, which was opened on Eneslow's 100th anniversary in 2009.
"Adding a store with double the space will allow us to grow the business," Schwartz says. "We'll be able to add more fashionable styles that appeal to the Third Avenue shopper. The Third Avenue shopper does not shop on Second Avenue."
Eneslow's bold move comes at a time when some 50 percent of shoe purchases in the country are being made online, and brick-and-mortar stores are shuttering their doors at an alarming rate.
"It's a strategic decision," Schwartz says. "With limited time left on my two other Manhattan leases, this store is a hedge against the possibility that those leases will not be renewed."
Schwartz knows well what it is like to lose stores. In the mid-1980s, he had transformed Eneslow into a regional chain with eight stores, but was forced to close all but the flagship when New York State slashed Medicaid reimbursements for medical shoes and orthotics.
"The reimbursements were 50 percent of our business," he says.
He didn't open another store until 2003, and it was in Little Neck, Queens, not in Manhattan.
Schwartz says that what sets Eneslow apart — and what keeps it alive — is its people and their commitment to the company mantra of "comfort is always in fashion at Eneslow."
"We will not compromise that," he says. "The other difference is their training. Skilled pedorthic professionals offer real solutions to help people live pain-free lives. Our ability to accomplish this is through the use of our pedorthic specialization. We can make any shoe more comfortable. We will only sell a shoe that is designed to provide that benefit."
He adds that Eneslow is the "go-to" source for footwear for any foot problem.
"We frequently gets customer referrals from other New York City shoe retailers and especially health-care professionals," he says. "Eneslow trains them through continuing-education classes at the Eneslow Pedorthic Institute. We handle the worst cases. These cases require time to solve. The shoe industry traditionally is moderately low margin, and if we were just selling shoes, we would not be around now."
He points out that 70 percent to 80 percent of the company's shoe sales include an already built-in functioning orthotic device.
"We add on these value-added internal and external modifications and adjustments," he says. "Approximately 15 percent of our revenue comes from footwear customization."
Eneslow has managed to survive for more than a century because it has evolved with the times.
"We pride ourselves on customer service," Schwartz says. "But with the advent of things like Yelp reviews, the high level of service that we offered even five years ago is not enough to keep us in business. If someone writes a critical review, we use it as an opportunity to keep improving."
More than 10 years ago, when the economy took a nose-dive and New York City was hard hit by the shuttering of Lehmann Brothers and the real estate bust, Eneslow started searching for higher- margin products to counteract the reduction in traffic and transactions.
Eneslow's solution was to stock a variety of European brands, including Solidus, Christian Dietz, Hassia, Berkemann and Hartjes, that were not distributed in the United States.
"We introduced these brands to our customers," Schwartz says. "We could not survive on the keystone margins from American-distributed brands because our cost of doing business is over 50 percent. The margin for these European brands is three times to four times cost. More importantly, our customers voted with their credit cards. They recognized the greater value we were offering them at lower retail prices than those we were already carrying. These European brands are now 20 percent of our business, and they have increased our margin six percent."
Many of Eneslow's 40 employees have been with the company for decades, and most of the retail sales staff are pedorthists. All take pedorthic training throughout their Eneslow careers, and their weekly classes include case studies and problem-solving sales techniques.
"We encourage people of all ages to work for us," says Schwartz, who is himself 78. "We don't need them to be fast; we need them to be thorough, we need them to have patience and perseverance in their DNA. They have to first want to help people."
He adds that the diversity of the team members reflects that of the customers they are helping.
"This is key," he says. "My employees come from six of the seven continents. We are like a little United Nations. At the same time, we have to be a cohesive family who become interchangeable parts to make it work."
Eneslow relies upon returning customers, many of whom have been buying shoes there for decades.
"Our sales associates live to help people," Schwartz says. "They want to make a difference in their lives and take people from pain to pain-free. By generating extra sales, they are generating extra satisfaction."
Schwartz says that education is a vital part of Eneslow's mission.
"It's the best marketing strategy in health care," he says. "People don't want to be sold; they want to be informed and included."
Eneslow was a pioneer in the promotion of rocker-style shoes and their healing properties.
"They help with a variety of foot problems involving the ankle, heel, metatarsals and toes," he says. "We fabricate rockers and incorporate them into a variety of shoe styles, including women's high-heel boots."
Although Eneslow was founded in 1909, it didn't separate its shoe business until 1926, when Eneslow Shoe Corp. was founded as a standalone enterprise, owned by Sol Low.
The original owners, Edward and Nellie Stone Low, started out selling trusses and eventually switched to surgical products. Brothers Nat and Sol joined and added a shoe department. During America's polio epidemic when braces and splints and orthopedically customized shoes were the common prescription, the company's medical roots evolved.
By the 1940s, Eneslow was selling foot products, notably orthotics and arch supports.
"My dad, Paul, owned the wholesale business Apex Foot Health Industries, which sold foot products, namely orthotics, arch supports and orthotic components," Schwartz says. "He was trying to sell his products to Eneslow. They were the biggest users in the market and were not buying from Apex."
When the business was offered for sale in 1968, Paul and his brother, Charles, bought Eneslow, as much for its wholesale as its retail business.
Robert S. Schwartz joined the company in 1973 after a 10-year career in sales and marketing with the International Playtex Corp. By 1975, Robert and his twin brother, Richard, were each managing their own division, eventually their own companies, and became co-owners.
Robert became the sole owner of Eneslow in 1983. His son, Michael, is the vice president; and his daughter, Rachel, is in charge of administration and social media.
Schwartz says that as long as Eneslow stays on its toes, he's sure it will be around for another 110 years.
"The key is the team of individuals on our staff who come from different backgrounds and different lifestyles to help people," he says. "They are special people with unique skills and talents and most of all, they have the heart of a pedorthist."

A popular job site recently released a new advertisement that has an employee walking out of the office after finishing his work. His colleagues taunt him for 'taking a half day' from work. This was despite the individual finishing the day's assignments. Staying longer at the workplace, unfortunately, is equated with being more productive. Just because a company has an 8 hour or 9 hour work day does not mean that an employee must sit around even if there is no work.
A 2018 study by Swiss investment bank UBS had said that an average employee in Mumbai works 3,315 hours a year, which is the highest in the world. Out of this how many hours are productive and how many involve employees sitting around because it is considered inappropriate to leave before the others is a question that needs to be asked.
A bank chief was known to get fired up if his team leaves office before him. He made his displeasure known by calling them out publicly and asking why the particular individual left 'early'. When such a mandate is initiated from the top, it slowly becomes a part of the company culture to stay back in office without any reason.
On the other hand, capital goods major in Mumbai ensures that each employee leaves office at 6 pm, irrespective of whether their work is over or not. The human resource official said that employees should learn to plan their day better and not sit around till the last hour to complete work.
While multiple labour laws mandate companies to pay overtime if an employee works beyond 9 hours a day, this is rarely enforced in corporate workplaces. Even working on weekends is no longer a rarity in India Inc. How many of them pay for the additional number of hours clocked in? Less than 20 percent.
While an 8-hour workday is a standard timing across companies, employees are well aware of their responsibilities. There could be days where one would have work for 10 hours while on others he/she may get done in 5 hours. Taking this situation into account, does it make sense to have rigid working hours or should employees be allowed to take a call depending on their work areas.
There are professions like the armed forces, police, fire services and medical sector where these policies cannot be strictly enforced since these individuals are into emergency services. However, in a non-factory work setting where most of the daily job consists of mental work, there could be early steps to allow employees to maintain work timings as long as their assignments for the day are complete.
Trusting the employee is the first step towards freeing the stringent work hour culture. When each employee is given the freedom to choose his/her work timings, the person will automatically be responsible for his job role.
The key here then will be, not how many hours one needs to clock, but how to work efficiently to complete the day's tasks and be free to leave once it is done. Unless the job involves an individual being present in the work-site, it does not matter what is the number of hours he/she is required to mandatorily sit in the office.
