Have you ever wondered who the GREATEST Heroes of motor sport really are?
Ever argued Rally versus Formula One Pilotes, Targa Florio Riders versus Le Mans Endurance Masters?
Wonder no further.
I have found them.
Drivers going unbelievably much faster than their OVER motorised Counterparts.
Drivers who have NEVER been overtaken in their life.
Drivers who put all LOWLY pretenders in their right place.
Drivers who let others overtake PURELY out out the kindness of their hearts.
Drivers who managed to compete despite of their "IMPOSSIBLE to drive with" tires.
Drivers who rushed ahead of everybody, didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't pee just so they could say they arrived FIRST.
Drivers who went REALLY fast.
Drivers chasing others, who should have been MUCH faster.
Drivers producing MIRACLES off the track.
Just amazing.
YET more amazing still how much fun all this can be.
The Coupe des Alpes is a fabulous Bonanza which turns everybody into a hero.
There is no competition, no regularity nonsense, no time keeping, no parking challenge, no nothing.
Just miles and miles and miles of the most twisting, winding and scenic roads in the French Alpes, good Hotels and fantastic food.
It's a great event, for even People with other things than just cars in their minds, enjoy themselves TREMENDOUSLY.
Let me take you back to the start in Evian, at the Lake Geneva.
Lots of very polished cars.
A what? Take a guess!
Gorgeous Stratos, give it to me. Please! But I asked nicely?!
Our car: a long wheel base 2l 911.
The "best Co-pilot in the world" (My friend Assunta, who not only really NEVER got lost, she also simply closed her eyes when my overtaking became somewhat tight..) and I are one of two Ladies team from Germany, who have the great honour of being part of a fabulous swiss team.
Honda S 800
Porsche 904
The first day we drove through pretty heavy thunderstorms:
Poor Mangusta.
Beautiful weather the second morning.
Just one Year difference renders these Cars totally different types: Short wheel base and Carbs on the red beauty and Long wheel base and injection on the silver. And I understand THE DIFFERENCES! I´m so proud….
Do you see that Worm in the Background? That´s our ROAD! YUM!
If you don't think this is beautiful, I know a lot of much nicer other blogs. About politics. Or Toe nail painting. Fascinating, too!
French food. Give it to me. Any time. Any place!
And these are the Roads. Drive it up, drive it up, drive it, ok ok.
As we approach the South, the Scenery becomes even more spectacular and the weather wonderful.
Traditional Pick nick on the last day.
French Pick nick. Foie Gras and Opinel Knives..
We take a Break, trying to postpone the end.
Nice try.
Yet here it comes, the finish at the Croisette in Cannes.
Mangusta made it.
The Team Vandroeuves. At least a great part of it. No that doesn't sound DUTCH…! Go away!
Price giving ceremony on the roof of the Hotel
Have I said I like the french style before?
Our proud table..The big Trophy is for winning as a team, the other two are gifts to the Ladies teams. How very very nice!
Doing it all over again. "Full on right." Full of what?
Coupe des Alpes is a Coupe de Fun.
Everybody is a winner.
Everybody is REALLY fast and free.
Everybody is a Hero.
What else would you want from a Rally?

Here's a post on supporting home birth! I have just had my 3rd baby (mashallah) a couple of months ago and all three were born at the hospital. However my dream is to one day have a home birth! It is something I have always wanted but just not catered for in the middle east. If I do get pregnant again (inshallah) hopefully then it'll be possible or I may have to have the baby abroad. Enjoy the video below of all the different celebrities who have had home births some as long as ten years ago!! This is not a new phenomena, yet an ancient practice.

AI and Jobs: the role of demand
James Bessen
NBER Working Paper No. 24235
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will automate many jobs, but the effect on employment is not obvious. In manufacturing, technology has sharply reduced jobs in recent decades. But before that, for over a century, employment grew, even in industries experiencing rapid technological change. What changed? Demand was highly elastic at first and then became inelastic. The effect of artificial intelligence on jobs will similarly depend critically on the nature of demand. This paper presents a simple model of demand that accurately predicts the rise and fall of employment in the textile, steel and automotive industries. This model provides a useful framework for exploring how AI is likely to affect jobs over the next 10 or 20 years.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, July 30, 2018 – BASF selected a graduate-student team from North Carolina State University (NC State) as the winner of its fourth annual North American science competition. The NC State team was selected from 13 teams that submitted projects to the competition. The winning team members, Dr. Nasie Constantino, Marzana Mantasha Mahmud and Chunkyun Seok, each received a $1,000 cash award. The task of this year's competition was to develop solutions to identify plant responses to stress.
"We are continually trying to find ways to equip our customers with the tools they need to get ahead of plant health issues," said Luke Bozeman, BASF Director, Research and Development, U.S. Crop Protection. "This competition provided a unique opportunity for young academic researchers to work in teams to help identify solutions to a real global plant health concern."
The NC State team showcased innovative technology to help farmers better manage plant stress factors, such as heat, drought, insects and pathogens. The team created a real-time sensor that could identify and detect volatile organic compounds that plants produce when stressed. With multiple factors affecting a plant's ability to grow to maturity, the team's sensor technology could allow for a timely and targeted response which ultimately helps improve a farmer's ability to produce healthier and more robust crops.
"With the cash prize and mentorship from BASF scientists, we can further our research now," said student researcher Marzana Mantasha Mahmud. "As electrical engineers, we are so excited that we can contribute to this project. It's a whole different field of study for us."
With a rapidly growing population, the world is increasingly dependent on our ability to develop and maintain sustainable agriculture and healthy environments. BASF's Crop Protection division works with farmers, agricultural professionals, pest management experts and others to help make this possible. With their cooperation, BASF is able to sustain an active R&D pipeline, an innovative portfolio of products and services, and teams of experts in the lab and in the field to support customers in making their businesses succeed. In 2016, BASF's Crop Protection division generated sales of €5.6 billion. For more information, please visit us at www.agriculture.basf.com or on any of our social media channels.
BASF Corporation, headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey, is the North American affiliate of BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany.

[3.3] CI Lightning Arrow/Barrage Trickster (With Deathless Shaper Video)
This build uses The Tempest with Abyss Jewels to scale damage. I also go CI because Trickster has good synergy with ES while still being able to get at least the same amount of effective life as... well, life. I wanted to see if I could make an ES based bow character with just as much, if not more, damage than a typical bow character with an unlikely ascendancy. You can use any bow skill, LA is just my preference.
The Tempest - the best bow for this build for DPS as far as I can tell. Windripper with MF wouldn't be horrible since you wouldn't need to use the crit gem but you would have a really low ES total from stacking MF gear.
Shroud of the Lightless - this and Hyrri's Ire are both good and both give around 400-450 ES from Escape Artist. Shroud is cheaper though because you only need to 5L it. I prefer Shroud.
Lioneye's Fall - used to convert Soul Raker and all the points leading up to bow modifiers. You don't need it since you can path to Duelist leech but that is less efficient.
Darkness Enthroned - used to fit in more abyss jewels.
Skyforth - Very comfortable and a QOL to use but not necessary.
Call of the Brotherhood - Good if you want Herald of Ice shatters. You will need to use Shroud of the Lightless for this for the all-penetration.
Abyss jewels:
Jewels like the ones in this belt. Flat lightning, flat lightning for bows, and ES - the higher the better. I didn't spend more than 15c for any of mine.
Helmet: 200+ ES, 200+ accuracy, resistances (30+ INT if you don't need the resistances).
Boots: 150+ ES, 25+ movement speed, resistances. 30+ INT if you don't need the resistances).
Gloves: 130+ ES, 200+ accuracy, flat lightning damage to attacks, attack speed, resistances. (30+ INT if you don't need the resistances).
Rings: 30+ ES, 200+ accuracy, flat lightning damage to attacks, 20+ elemental damage with attack skills/lightning damage, resistances.
Amulet: 30+ ES, 200+ accuracy, flat lightning damage to attacks, 20+ elemental damage with attack skills/lightning damage, critical strike chance and multiplier, resistances.
Quiver: Bow attacks fire an additional arrow, crit multiplier, attack speed, elemental damage with attack skills. You can buy a pre-multimodded one with all those mods for 2 ex.
Passive tree.
Soul of Lunaris and Soul of Garukhan feels like the best combo for me but feel free to use whatever you're comfortable with.
Alira for bandits.
Ascendancy is Trickster. Ascendancy nodes in order: Swift Killer, Ghost Dance, Escape Artist and then Harness the Void.
Any bow skill is fine. I would use TS with Chain instead of Mirage Archer if I could get my hands on a high ES helmet with the TS enchant.
You can use Herald of Ice for shatters if you use Call of the Brotherhood, more info in the "UNIQUES" section.
Take out Mirage Archer for LA if you can only get a 5L.
If you can fit in Grace, that would be a very nice defensive boost.
I don't use Discipline but you should if you can't get over 5k ES without it.
Use ice golem if you want to use a golem.
If you don't have a favorite leveling build and don't want to respec too much points, use this tree: https://pastebin.com/p905JTgC - this tree is good until level 70 or so before converting to CI.
You can start using Storm Cloud at level 9 and The Tempest starting from 32. Prioritize jewel sockets and Darkness Enthroned for abyss jewels. Search for jewels with minimum 10 average lightning damage to attacks and lightning damage to bow attacks. These are only a few chaos and are just for leveling (remember to get ones with a low level requirement.)
With the update to Rain of Arrows, its great for leveling now, - just replace GMP with Added Lightning.
Make sure to get a bunch of sources of added lightning to attacks for leveling since that's where all our damage comes from.
Adding more if/when necessary.

Nice build, trying it out now. Your passive tree isnt up to date though, had to go to your profile for the full one.
Thanks. Adding a leveling guide + updating stuff.
I am lvl 86 right now with this build and I am dying to almost every boss in maps tier 6 and up. It seems the DPS on this build isn't strong enough for single target. I have 5100 ES. Can you give me any advice or look at my character in my profile to see what I'm doing wrong?
About half of your abyss jewels don't have lightning damage, or very low lightning damage on them. You literally need these as it's where all the damage comes from. You also don't have Point Blank which close to doubles your single target. Also you weren't running Wrath.
Getting a +1 arrow quiver with better mods than you have on your quiver right now is about 10-20 chaos from what I searched up right now. Also last but not least your chance to hit is only 75%.
In PoB I made all of your jewels that had little or no lightning damage Whispering Volleys (one of the ones you have right now), added a +1 arrow mod on your quiver, allocated Point Blank on the tree, added Wrath, and bumped up your chance to hit to 89%. Doing those things bumped your Barrage damage from a bit over 100k to a bit over 500k. I didn't tick any power or frenzy charges or on kill effects.
With a bit of gear upgrades on your jewelry and quiver I can see that damage going up to 650-700k and Dying Sun and Lioneye's Fall bumping that up to over 1m.
EDIT: In Bestiary I used Wrath and Aspect of the Cat, but Wrath and Discipline is probably the best choice now.
Last edited by roun on Jul 14, 2018, 5:20:41 PM
Ok, I have all the abyssal jewels you are talking about, I have Lioneye's Fall linked to Soul Raker, I have Point Blank, I am running Wrath, and my chance to hit is around 83%. Also, I am using discipline, bringing my ES to 5800 and I am still getting insta-killed by bosses. Also, my DPS is still no where near the numbers you are saying I will have. I even put the other quiver with an additional arrow in and it actually lowered my DPS in POB.
I was thinking maybe it's the fact that I don't have a six link Tempest, but I entered that into POB and it only brought my DPS another 1,000 or so. Something's fucked here or I am missing something else.

Military and Veterans
Retired U.S. Navy Lt. Brad Snyder, a naval academy graduate who was blinded in 2011 by an improvised explosive device, won two gold medals and one silver medal in swimming at the Paralympic Games London 2012.
Kari Miller, a U.S. Army veteran, had both her legs amputated after she was hit by a drunk driver. She won silver medals at the 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games in sitting volleyball.
Launched by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee in 2004, the Paralympic Military Program uses Paralympic sport opportunities to support wounded, ill and injured American service members and veterans, including those with amputations, traumatic brain injuries and visual impairments. Through camps and clinics held year-round across the country, service members and veterans are introduced to Paralympic sport techniques and opportunities, including local and regional competitions, and are also connected to ongoing Paralympic sport programs in their communities including those provided by Paralympic Sport Clubs.
Through partnerships with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the work of the U.S. Olympic Committee has impacted the lives of thousands of wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans. Over 2,000 athletes are annually served directly by the Paralympic Military Program with thousands more enabled by the connections the program has provided them.
But the program is not just about sports. It is about attitude, camaraderie and teamwork as well helping service members and veterans to return to a healthy, active lifestyle that will enable them to succeed both on and off the field of play. A cornerstone of the program is mentorship. Paralympic athletes who have overcome their own physical disabilities to achieve excellence act as mentors for athletes who are starting their own athletic journey.
Service members and veterans interested in sport opportunities can visit FindaClub.USParalympics.org to locate on-going programs in their community. Prospective athletes can also visit our Sport Development page to find talent identification events, including military-specific camps and clinics.
Athletes who are interested in pursuing competition at the highest levels, including becoming a member of the U.S. Paralympic Team, are encouraged not only to become involved with local opportunities but also to fill out the Paralympic Identified Athlete Questionnaire. Once the questionnaire is completed, a member of the U.S. Paralympics staff will follow-up with information.
The Paralympic Military Program is sponsored in part by Defense Support of Civil Authorities, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Homeland Defense & Americas' Security Affairs.

With OH&S risk management at the top of his priority list, Damien Radburn of Kerden Haulage do es not compromise on safety when ordering new equipment. A Krueger client by tradition, he is all about utilising the latest technology to make operating a trailer as safe and efficient as poss ible.
Situated along the coast of New South Wales, some 160km south of bustling Sydney, Nowra has a rich rural and agricultural history. The region around Nowra is a farming community, sustaining a thriving dairy industry and lush forests, making it a prominent retirement and leisure area for Canberra and Sydney.
Amidst the rural idyll, however, local transport business Kerden Haulage has gained renown as a forward-thinking fleet that does not hesitate to invest into a safe and productive workplace. Since its establishment in 1992 by Kerry and Dennis Radburn, the familyowned company has built a fleet of 42 trailers – including a pair of Krueger B-doubles that only just entered operation.
"Our key objective as a haulage business has not changed over the years – we not only want to provide a premium service to our clients, but also invest into versatile, user-friendly equipment that our drivers can handle without putting them at risk," says Damien Radburn, a 20-year transport veteran himself who has taken over the reigns from his accomplished parents as Kerden's Managing Director. It is no surprise that a closer examination of Kerden's latest purchase sees a strict focus on making each trailer as safe as possible, a value that has characterised the family business since day one.
Determined to find a suitable unit that could comply with Kerden's strict OH&S requirements, Damien consulted long standing supplier, Krueger Transport Equipment when the most recent fleet upgrade was due. "Having used Krueger equipment since 1996, it was only logical to take up that long partnership and ask for their opinion first," says Damien, who is a strong advocate for building personal relationships in the industry.
"Damien had quite specific requests for maximising the loading space inside the trailer," says Krueger's National Sales Manager, Grant Krueger. "That's why we recommended our new model mezzanine deck system to increase productivity without comprising the safety of his team."
After a lengthy consultation process, Grant and Damien would settle on two new drop deck curtain-siders in B-double configuration, both incorporating Krueger's unique load restraint curtain and mezzanine deck system, alongside sliding side posts.
"The load restraint curtain was specified primarily for its OH&S benefits and to reduce turn-around time for loading and unloading. Time is money in this industry," says Grant. "From an OH&S and performance point of view, the fluidity of manoeuvring the curtains and posts makes it easier for only one driver to operate when opening and closing," he says. "All they do now is flick a lever and the mezzanine posts can slide out of the way, waiving one of the major OH&S hazards when out in the field."
And as Damien points out, the system is also flexible enough to accommodate both general freight and the odd full-length load. "To transport a full length load like polyethylene pipes, steel, timber or concrete materials, we can move the decks level with the top deck of the trailer and convert the trailer to a straight deck setup," he explains.
"On the return trip, we can then slot in the decks again to double-stack palletised general freight. That's the beauty of the Krueger design – it gives us the flexibility to use each trailer for more than one job."
In February 2013, Krueger delivered the first drop deck B-double, and the second unit joined it at the start of April. Both combinations went straight into service to complement Kerden's fleet of 42 trailers and 19 prime movers operating all across Australia. To Damien, the trailers' ability to accommodate various types of freight makes them a worthwhile purchase. But beyond mere product performance, he says the trust his parents built with the Krueger family over the years is even more important than the product itself. "We have dealt with Krueger since 1996, and they always delivered a reliable product according to what we have specified," he recounts. "They always stick to the deadline we agree on, and that's exactly the kind of criteria I adhere to with our clientele as well."
"On the return trip, we can then slot in the decks again to double-stack palletised general freight. That's the beauty of the Krueger design – it gives us the flexibility to use each trailer for more than one job."

Sports Opinion: Physical Education: Unnecessary for Student Athletes
By Arya Guinney & Kennedy Cook
March 31, 2017
Physical Education (P.E.) is a two-year required course for every student that attends Tam. It has two components–one that encompasses the information a student would learn in a health class and a second, composed of the physical exercise itself. Students regularly try to find ways out of P.E. in...

(Yicai Global) March 22 -- The Chinese government has appointed Guo Shuqing, former head of China's banking watchdog, as the first chairman to head up the country's new top regulator formed from the merger of separate oversight bodies for the banking and insurance sectors.
Born in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 1956, Guo also previously served as chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, was governor of Shandong province, and was a member of the central bank's monetary policy committee. The financial heavyweight will now helm the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.
It was announced during the National People's Congress last week that the two watchdogs that oversee the country's USD43 trillion banking and insurance sectors would be combined in the biggest shakeup of its kind since 2003. The CBIRC's formation completes the central government's line-up for financial regulation alongside the Financial Stability and Development Committee under the cabinet, the People's Bank of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
The new body is charged with regulating the banking and insurance sectors in line with laws and regulations, safeguarding their stable operations, guarding against financial risks, protecting the rights of consumers and maintaining financial stability.
Seven former vice-chairmen of the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission will serve as deputies at the new regulator.
As part of the recent changes to regulatory framework, the People's Bank of China will also take over drafting key laws and regulations and create a prudent supervisory system, which was previously the responsibility of the CBRC and CIRC.

The new Scholar Teachers program is the first of its kind in eastern North Carolina. The program focuses on social justice and features curriculum written by the North Carolina State Teacher Cadet Cadre, rigorous college coursework, and hands-on experience in the classroom.
This fall, Scholar Teachers began weekly internships that allow them to experience the realities of the classroom, while collaborating with a lead teacher to effectively engage students in learning. Interns at three ECPS schools -- Martin Millennium Academy, W.A. Pattillo Middle School, and Princeville Elementary School -- are learning how to develop strong relationships with students, providing one-on-one and small group tutoring sessions, and actually teaching lessons!
"The internships provide our scholars with the opportunity to learn in a real-world environment, while also adding value to ECPS classrooms in unique and distinctive ways," says Tunisia Bulluck, director of the Scholar Teacher Cadet Program at the Early College.
The EECHS students are enthusiastic about the Scholar Teachers program and their internship experiences.
"For me, the Scholar Teachers program has carved a pathway to my future. I was unsure of what I wanted to be, and with this program I have found my passion. I enjoy working with children and seeing them grow. I am thankful for this program, and I am excited to continue on this journey as an educator," said senior Ateonya Whitaker.

#14 Radioguided surgery in NET: First impression with Ga-68 labeled somatostatin analogues
Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) constitute a heterogenous group of neoplasms. The development of Gallium-68-labeled somatostatin analogues, such as DOTA-NOC or DOTA-TOC, PET/CT have dramatically improved the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. Surgery remains the treatment of choice for localized disease as well as metastatic disease. The aims of surgery are: improvement of symptoms, reduction of tumor mass / burden and to give better quality of life to patients. Recurrent laparotomies often lead to multiple adhesions and altered anatomy. So it is increasingly difficult for imaging physicians and surgeons to separate non-malignant from malignant tissue.

#33 Survival of Neuroendocrine Tumour Patients in Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust
Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare neoplasms, with an incidence of 2-2.4 per 100,000, which derive from the neurones and epithelial cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Neuropeptide-secreting NETs may present with overt clinical symptoms including abdominal pain, flushing and diarrhoea, whereas non-functioning NETs may be asymptomatic or present with obstructive symptoms. In Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust, NET patients are managed with a multi-disciplinary approach, according to UK and European NET guidelines.

#47 Plasma CCN2/connective tissue growth factor is associated with right ventricular dysfunction in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors
Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a known complication of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), particularly of those arising from the small intestine, appendix and proximal colon (previously known as mid-gut carcinoids). CHD is characterized by right heart fibrotic lesions and has traditionally been defined by the degree of valvular involvement, most commonly in the form of tricuspid regurgitation. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction due to mural involvement may also be a manifestation. Connective tissue growth factor (CCN2) is upregulated in many fibrotic disorders. Increased tumor expression of CCN2 has been shown in patients with small intestinal NETs associated with peritoneal fibrosis. At present, its role in carcinoid heart disease is unknown.

September Blues
September Blues
By Charity Haigans MA LPC
As we eagerly await the coveted season of fall, many of us are experiencing the phenomenon known as the September Blues. It looks something like this, "I can't think of any reason to be down, but I feel…blah." More common than you might imagine, the September Blues can effect even the most positive of personalities.
I can't say that I have discovered any ground breaking research to explain why so many of us experience depressive symptoms during the month of September. I can, however, share with you what my experience has been as a therapist and what I feel are a few of the contributing factors.
During childhood, we live for summer. We await it impatiently as the months of school drag on. Sure, there is that nice winter break where we get to enjoy a few weeks off and celebrate the holidays, but there is nothing like that final day of school. It's a habit we acquire early and continue with for at least 13 years. For those who continued on to higher education, we keep the tradition of anticipating the summer months. Thus, summer is often many people's favorite time of year.
On the flip side, a return to the classroom grows to be not so bad. There are many benefits to going back to class. School supply shopping, the smell of new text books, and the promise of a fresh start. All the anticipation of a new school year stands before us. A new beginning. A new year. This too becomes an emotional habit. Anticipation for the start of something big.
As adults our school days are behind us, yet our habit continues on. We look forward to summer and yet feel anticipation in September. We have a sense that something new is starting, something big is happening. But, nothing big really does happen.
The kids go back to school and parents rejoice at a return to routine, but…it's pretty anti-climatic. The newness is quick to fade, and parents are left feeling…blah. Same goes for those without children. The anticipation is there, but the fresh start never really starts. It's New Year's Eve without the ball drop.
Seasonal changes also begin to take their toll because well, there isn't much change. Slowly the sun sets earlier, the temperature drops all of five degrees, but that big change is yet to come. True fall hasn't begun yet. Grocery stores begin to haul in pumpkins, and Halloween decorations go on sale. Still, the leaves firmly remain on their branches, and we continue sweating (at least here in the south) through the end of summer.
The habitual feeling of sadness that summer is over has little combatants without the new, fresh start of our school days or even so much as seasonal change. There in lies the September Blues.
How can these feelings of sadness be remedied? How can we harness the old sense of newness? Here are a few quick tips to make a turn around during the month of September.
- Gain Focus
Choose an area of your life that has been sitting on the "I'll get around to it" list. Perhaps you've always wanted to try yoga, or have a closet that is packed full of who-knows-what, or maybe you've had an idea at work that you've been considering. Whatever the area, make that item your mission. This allows you that same sense of accomplishment and change.
- Challenge Yourself
Much like gaining a focus, challenging yourself can give you strength and purpose. Set a personal goal, and take steps to achieve it. It may be difficult to find the motivation for such challenges. Bodies at rest stay at rest, bodies in motion stay in motion…the same is true for the mind. Give yourself a kick start, and rise to meet the challenge. Try 24 hours of not complaining, 7 days of home cooked meals, or 30 days of 1 chapter a day reading. Whatever your goal, you will gain an increase in motivation from taking steps to get your body and/or mind in motion, getting you through these difficult days of September.
- Random acts of "Self" kindness
Practice random acts of "self" kindness. It is easy to get down on one's self when symptoms of depression loom. One of the greatest weapons we have against the blues is self love and compassion. Be good to yourself this month. Get a massage, keep a "what I love about me" journal, buy yourself a nice meal, anything you would do to show kindness to another, do for yourself.
These are just a few ideas on ways to fight off the September Blues. Also the knowledge that these feelings of sadness are most likely part of the the shared human condition, can be helpful. Seek out ways to be joyous this month, even if at first it feels disingenuous. Smiling is contagious and we can each support one another as we all struggle to find the balance.
If your feelings persist past the leaves changing, you may seek more intensive support with a counselor. Noyau therapists are experts in depression. When those blues turn into more, counselors are a wonderful and knowledgeable resource for instituting change.
Remember the glorious season of fall is just around the corner. Give summer the proper send off with joy, self compassion, and renewed motivation this September!

There is real and percieved value. There is value proved from trying out a product first and seeing that it works for you - versus buying it on a "guarantee".
I've often held - and work from - the idea that economics is based on the exchange of valuables in order to improve one's quality of life, one's standard of living.
"Shlock" (cheap, coarse) products get only a small amount of money from a person for 97% of the buying public. 3% will buy whatever you have, regardless of quality.
I work in a warehouse (day job) moving boxes around full of furniture mostly made in China. I used to do Quality Control there, inspecting stuff when it came in. So I know that the bulk of the stuff we sell and ship out is of dubious quality - great for our throw-away society, but nothing that is going to be handed down as any heirloom. The phrase we often recount as we find out what the customer has paid in price and shipping, "More money than brains."
I don't know how much customer turnover we have. I've had my own experiences in buying (one of the few) decent products from this place and then having waits and even the wrong item shipped to me. But that was years ago - and I still won't buy anything unless it is on a severe discount and I can see the product first.
So when I open a sales page and it says "guaranteed to raise your email response rate" I know it's another "made in China" situation. Great for the "masses" (those 3% with fatter wallets than craniums), but for the rest of us - we're better off not.
A little more study and comparison will bring a lot of this data to you. Or simply go to a brick-and-mortar store and start leafing through the actual books. Google Books and Amazon previews also provide this service on a virtual basis - you can read nearly or all of the books in this fashion, thought it isn't as rewarding as leafing through the actual.
I would say, then, to go the Lulu route where you can offer up a preview online - even setting the entire book up as a preview. People can't copy it, so they can simply get the data and then pay for a download or printed version when they see the actual.
Go ahead, kick a few tires before you buy - look under the hood, smell the upholstery, check out the carpet, look in the trunk, take out the emergency jack to see how it works.
This really comes as I have been reviewing a product I bought (one of those "$47" funnel products) which has turned out to be really inferior. And I cancelled that subscription. That guy is selling shlock. The system for sales works and works. Because he has amassed a ten or twenty thousand names, he can make consistent money off the 300 or 600 people who will buy anything he comes out with. And these people simply stay on his list and keep buying.
I did a study some time ago on a corporation which lost 80% of its new customers in the first three years. And within 10 years, it had lost all but 4-5% of the original customers. It had amazing customer turnover. Yet it was still making money hand over fist, since that small amount of "more money than brains" customers were kept on and played to. The corporation has been shrinking, slowly, for over a decade. Really because it has such a pitifully poor conversion rate - it just doesn't produce a quality product that is widely useful to helping people improve their lives.
Since this company makes more money from the upper end of its product funnel, they spend the bulk of their time catering to these few big spenders, and not to sorting out how to get more people in at the introductory levels in order to get more big spenders in for their upper level services. They simply keep coming out with more and more products these "more money than brains" percentage will buy. That company doesn't take a percentage of that income and then invest it in surveys and studies and products which will convert people in greater volume up their sales funnel.
In short, they don't really service their public, they just keep working the percentages. They have a con game going on of sorts. And that company's reputation is shot, with numerous "anti-" websites and blogs who do nothing but simply flame that company with every post.
Instead of introductory service research, that company spends its money on lawyers and "PR" to "combat" these people on the Internet - which is about as fruitful as standing in a flowing river and trying to blow a leaf back upstream with only your mouth. Could be done, I suppose...
I found the same problem with two "make money through mailing lists" people. Both simply made most of their money through personal coaching. Again, they were selling to the already converted and mostly running a percentage game instead of really producing value that could improve someone's life.
So, keep your funnel wide at the bottom. Lots of entry points. And then constantly survey those niche publics for what they really want and why they bought what they did. Work consistently on your conversion efforts - make sure what you are selling people is actually helping them. If you do this well, you will get people who do more than just buy your goods - they will start being active evangelists for your cause, working for affiliate fees and helping you with your conversion and quality issues.
But quality - real value - of product is where you must focus the bulk of your efforts. You can always hire someone to help you with investing the extra money you recieve in return. But you are on this planet for such a short time - don't waste it accumulating some paltry sums when you could be helping hundreds of thousands (and perhaps millions) improve their lives.

|We Deal With Criticism
|Type of site
|Review aggregator
|CBS Interactive
|16, 1999
|Alexa rank
|1,340 (October 2017[update])[1]
|Current status
Metacritic is a website that aggregates reviews of media products: music albums, video games, films, TV shows, and formerly, books. For each product, the scores from each review are averaged (a weighted average[2]). Metacritic was created by Jason Dietz, Marc Doyle, and Julie Doyle Roberts in 1999. The site provides an excerpt from each review and hyperlinks to its source. A color of Green, Yellow or Red summarizes the critics' recommendations. It has been described as the video game industry's "premier" review aggregator.[3][4]
Metacritic's scoring converts each review into a percentage, either mathematically from the mark given, or which the site decides subjectively from a qualitative review. Before being averaged, the scores are weighted according to the critic's fame, stature, and volume of reviews.
Metacritic was launched in January 2001[5] by Marc Doyle, his sister Julie Doyle Roberts, and a classmate from the University of Southern California law school, Jason Dietz, after two years of developing the site. Rotten Tomatoes was already compiling movie reviews, but Doyle, Roberts and Dietz saw an opportunity to cover a broader range of media. They sold Metacritic to CNET in 2005.[6] CNET and Metacritic are now owned by the CBS Corporation.[7] Doyle, 36, is now a senior product manager at CNET but he also acts as games editor of Metacritic".[6] Speaking of video games, he said: "A site like ours helps people cut through...unobjective promotional language". "By giving consumers, and web users specifically, early information on the objective quality of a game, not only are they more educated about their choices, but it forces publishers to demand more from their developers, license owners to demand more from their licensees, and eventually, hopefully, the games get better". He added that the review process is not taken as seriously when unconnected magazines and websites provide reviews in isolation.[8]
In August 2010, the website's appearance was revamped; reaction from users was overwhelmingly negative.[9][10]
Scores are weighted averages. Certain publications are given more significance "because of their stature".[6]
Games Editor Marc Doyle was interviewed by Keith Stuart of The Guardian to "get a look behind the metascoring process". Stuart wrote: "The metascore phenomenon, namely Metacritic and GameRankings, have become an enormously important element of online games journalism over the past few years".[8] Doyle said that because video games lead to a greater investment of time and money, gamers are more informed about reviews than are fans of film or music; they want to know "whether that hotly anticipated title is going to deliver"[8].
The rating scale of metascores is:[11]
|Video games
|Universal acclaim
|Generally favorable reviews
|Mixed or average reviews
|Generally unfavorable reviews
|Overwhelming dislike
Video gamesEdit
Metacritic is regarded as the foremost online review aggregation site for the video game industry.[3][4]
Nick Wingfield of The Wall Street Journal has written that Metacritic "influence[s] the sales of games and the stocks of video game publishers". He explains its influence as coming from the higher cost of buying video games than music or movie tickets.[6] Many executives say that low scores "can hurt the long-term sales potential".[6] Wingfield wrote that Wall Street pays attention to Metacritic and GameRankings because the sites typically post scores before sales data are publicly available, citing the respective rapid rise and fall in company values after BioShock and Spider-Man 3 were released.[6]
In an interview with The Guardian, Marc Doyle cited "two major publishers" that "conducted comprehensive statistical surveys through which they've been able to draw a correlation between high metascores and stronger sales" in certain genres.[8] He claimed that an increasing number of businesses and financial analysts use Metacritic as "an early indicator of a game's potential sales and, by extension, the publisher's stock price".[8]
In 2004, Jason Hall and Marcus Johnson of Warner Bros. began "including 'quality metrics' in contracts with partners licensing its movies for games": if a product does not at least achieve a specific score, some deals require the publisher to pay higher royalties.[6]
In 2008, Microsoft began using Metacritic averages to de-list underperforming Xbox Live Arcade games.[12][13]
Some game reviewers take issue with the way Metacritic assigns scores. When a reviewer gives a rating of "A", Metacritic assigns it a value of 100, and for "F" a value of zero; some think a score of 50 would be more appropriate.[6] For a "B–", Metacritic assigns a value of 67, yet some publishers, developers and websurfers believe it should be closer to 80, in line with the conversion often used in the US education system.[8] Joe Dodson, former editor at Game Revolution, criticized Metacritic and similar sites for turning reviews into scores that are too low.[6] However, Doyle responded: "I feel that ANY scale simply needs to be converted directly with its lowest possible grade equating to 0, and the highest to 100".[8]
Doyle said that some publishers want him to include extra critics, and exclude others, usually because they have given a poor review. Another common complaint from US publishers is that British critics should not be reviewing games that are based on American sports like the NFL, NASCAR, or the NBA. Doyle said: "Conversely, many European publishers feel that American critics are not qualified or properly situated to review football, rally, F1, cricket and rugby games...once I've decided to track a publication, I cannot pick and choose which reviews I list on Metacritic based on such individual judgments".[8]
Publishers often try to persuade Doyle to exclude reviews they feel are unfair, but he said that once a publication is included, he refuses to omit any of its reviews.[6] A Washington Post review of Uncharted 4 was assigned with a rating of 40% by Metacritic; this was the only "negative" review of the game. Gamers who did not like the review petitioned Metacritic to remove the Post as a trusted source.[14]
As a result of its perceived negative influence on the industry, several reviewing sites, including Kotaku[15] and Eurogamer[16], have dropped numerical reviews that would appear in Metacritic, instead favoring a qualitative assessment of a game.
Metacritic has been criticised for how it handles banning users and their reviews, with no notice or formal process for appeal,[17] and users have complained to the Better Business Bureau about the difficulty of contacting the company.[18] Critics and developers have pointed out the website's lack of personal management along with its automatic systems, since a video game can be review bombed with low ratings to damage its reputation. In the same respect, a game can be given multiple 10 ratings by throwaway accounts to make it appear more popular than it actually is, which is a much more commonly used tactic. Signal Studios president and creative director Douglas Albright described the website as having "no standards".[19]
Metacritic lists over 9,000 films ranked by aggregate score on an Marcus rating scale.[20]
Critic weightsEdit
Metacritic has said that it will not reveal the relative weight assigned to each reviewer.[21]

Hey there! Long time no talk! I have been such a busy bee its crazy!
It has been months, yes seriously months since I sat down and actually wrote about my life. I can't really believe that. There is a reason which I will get into later but I am trying to do more writing because I love it!
So the first thing you will notice is that I have a new website! That has been one of the big things that I have been working on/continuously working on that I am excited to share! I finally was able to learn some code, create a website that I "love(d)" at the time (I plan on changing it again soon oops!) and am now getting into actually writing content again. One thing you will also notice is that it's not my typical lifestyle and beauty blog. I have adopted blogging as a category!
The reason for that will bring me to explain my next bit of exciting news! At the beginning of October, I actually launched my first ever e-course for bloggers and influencers. I put a lot of time and work into it (aka why I haven't been blogging like normal) and it's finally out in the world.
For those that are wondering what it is, its essentially a course that goes through all of the information one would need if they wanted to start a blog, master Pinterest for their blog or biz, or start working with brands. If you are looking for more info on it, I can send you to this page here!
With the recent launch, I have decided to finally calm down, sit back and enjoy life because I feel like I have been almost living two lives for the last few months and going back to school to start my senior year made me feel like I was living three.
One involves being a college student, one being an intern, and one being a blogger/influencer.
Before I went back to school I started a new job at ImpressArt! They create the tools and metal blanks to make hand stamped and personalized jewelry. I am a PR and social media intern for them and I actually am really enjoying myself! I love doing crafts (just ask my family) and I love being artsy and of course, making personalized gifts doesn't hurt either! I am super thankful for this internship (as I was with all of mine) but with this one specifically because I am able to sit in on some serious business meetings and not just learn about social media and PR but also about the business and marketing side of things which I never was really able to do before.
Another really big thing that I think I need to shed light on is the fact that this was the FIRST summer I had ever spent away from home. If you have been *trying* to follow me for a little while, you will know back in May I finally got my first apartment with my lovely boyfriend (Who yes I am still with!) Since then I have been living the adult life trying to pay rent and feed myself. I really never realized how much food I ate but darn…
I will say that being away from home was tough. Especially with my brother leaving for school. I didn't get to spend as much time with my family as I wanted to but I guess that's what I get for leaving home right?
I did have some awesome experiences this summer though. One of which being able to watch that brother of mine graduate! (Even if it was only for a day) Back in middle school we never thought he would do it because he hated school so much but here we are six years later and the *MAN* has gone all the way to Texas for school. I couldn't be more proud and I couldn't be happier for him! Also, shout out to his girlfriend Em for also graduating and going to Texas as well for school! So proud I could cry with all these achievements!
One of the reasons why I have obsessed over owning my own business and being a blogger/influencer is because I can do it from anywhere. I can manage Pinterest accounts, write blog posts, help other people and post on Instagram from anywhere in the world. Meaning I could be where ever I am living at the moment or I could take an unexpected vacation to where ever my family happens to be at that time! I say that because my Momma got a new job and moved out of VT too and I also am so happy and proud of her as well!
I know dad won't ever leave that hill as much as he says he wants to sometimes, but in a way that makes me extremely happy because one day I will be able to bring my kids (hopefully) to my childhood home and show them where I was a little devil child!
The biggest takeaway that I have had from my summer from home/time at school is to look at the positives as much as you can and remember the little things. Enjoy the moment that you are in because it's not going to last forever.
One thing that was really funny to me when my brother and his girlfriend were leaving for college was that Em said to me, "Hannah I don't know how you do this. I feel like I'm running around with my head cut off." To me, it made me feel pretty good (I know that sounds so bad but let me explain) For the last many years, my life has been split in so many different ways. What I mean by that is I have school and I have home and I have mom and dad and grandparents and a brother and a boyfriend and I can promise you right now, there is NOT enough time in the day/year/life for me to spend equal time with everyone.
That being said, if you have ever seen me when I was home, 9 times out of 10 I am running around with my head completely cut off. Trying to make sure I spend time with this person and that person, making sure that the grandparents see me and that I am spending time with mom and dad and jake and making sure my car gets fixed and I get my teeth clean and the doctors see me and getting my life essentially figured out. (Talk about a run on sentence huh?)
It kind of made me feel good when Em said that to me because I thought for just a second someone finally felt how I felt. Every single one of my family members including her asked me why I am acting like such a crazy person when I come home and its because they don't get it. My brother even got mad at me one time because I was trying so hard to make sure I spent time with everyone. It's not his fault. It's not really an easy feeling or easy task to explain, but when she said that to me, I realized that I wasn't alone. Maybe I started doing it a little earlier than everyone else but there comes a time in almost everyone's life where they feel this way in some form.
Because of this feeling, I have not only learned to cherish my time more but to also take lots of pictures, remember the good times and realize that I always have a home back in VT AND that not much will have changed when I get back.
I have missed a lot of things being at school. A lot of things that I will regret missing. But you learn to let it go and try to miss as little as possible!
You may be thinking to yourself…what is the point of this post again? Well…there isn't one. Honestly, I just wanted to put a little bit more of me into my website so that it wasn't just blogging tips and beauty posts. I feel like there was so much more I could have told you here but as I get further and further down this third page I realize that not everything can be said in one post!
If you have made it this far, I thank you for reading my random post about life and I hope you will stick around in the future! If you did like this type of casual talkity post, let me know in the comments either below or if you came from Facebook on there! I never really know if this is something people enjoy reading because there's seriously NO point to the post (Insert laughing emoji face) Either way, thank you again for reading this far!
Until next time,

Yes Curbed is featuring cults in l.A. area this week. I'm sure there will be a lot to cover:
Even The Z Factor has some roots in Los Angeles, although at the time it wasn't a cult. The Z does have a group that supports it. I believe you can call it a cult following.
The above link talks about how Manson lured displaced young people into his "family." How is this different from Isis?
Also I've noticed these links are kind of weird. They cut off just when you start getting to the meat of the article. Anyway thanks to Curbed NY. It's nice to read a bit about history for a change rather than who bought what for a billion dollars.
And getting back to my books I suppose the content could be viewed as sort of cultish, but with good intentions. They are really about the evolution of a society that is out of control and how one has to cope and reinvent themselves.

I Am Your Voice
The following was inspired by Donald Trumps' speech at the RNC where he said "Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation that have been ignored, neglected and abandoned". "These are the forgotten men and women of our country but they're not going to be forgotten for long." "These are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. I am your voice"!
Rather than post my standard commentary and analysis format reflecting on the issues of our times, today I sit here in the mountainous region of Northern Thailand and write this poem. I hope you enjoy it. It's called I AM Your Voice.
I Am Your Voice
As I walk alone down that old dirt road. I think to myself I feel it deep down in my soul. As I begin to wonder why, I pray and look up to the sky. Together with everyone all alone, out on my own. Fear not we will overcome for I AM your voice.
The years have passed so quickly and it seems they've turned the tide. Infiltrating America destroying my way of life. I can no longer walk the streets without fearing for my life. It's hard to provide for my children and my wife. Fear not we will overcome for I AM your voice.
Woke up a stranger in a strange land longing for the good old days. Wishing my neighbor a Merry Christmas giving thanks and praise. Like an uninvited intruder casting doubt before I speak, political correctness, oh what havoc you wreak. Fear not we will overcome for I AM your voice.
The American nightmare was once the American dream. The enemy within carries out its clandestine scheme. But your days are now numbered for you can no longer hide. As we will sacrifice our lives to defend freedom for mankind. Fear not we will overcome for I AM your voice.
So feel it in your heart sing America I AM, oh America I AM. Forever embraced by the rainbow of light and love, oh America I AM. The light expanding, protecting America. Awaken now the choice is yours, oh world victorious. Fear not we will overcome for I AM your voice.
We Are America
We have this chance. We have this opportunity to not only restore this once great nation but in actual fact what we do right here, right now will determine the fate of humanity. I wrote this song back in 1999. I hope it inspires you in some way. In Donald Trump, we have our voice but we must act. We must speak the truth. Expose the lies and never give up. Pray, promote, donate and vote.

First, there were calories…
We were told it was a simple equation, calories in vs calories out, and this was the way to go for weight loss and healthy weight management.
Calories in < calories out = weight loss
Calories in > calories out = weight gain
But they were WRONG!
More about that later…
One of the latest diet trends is Keto, burning ketones and keeping the body in "Ketosis", to turn our bodies into fat burning machines.
Ketones are a special type of fat that can stimulate the pathways that enhance the growth of new neural networks in the brain. They also increase glutathione, a powerful, brain-protective antioxidant. Ketones facilitate the production of mitochondria which are the power plants of your cells.
The question is, is this a new numbers game?
Are we once again being driven by numbers vs intuitive awareness?
Our ancestors ate when foods were in season. A natural flow of foods that over time created balance for the body and optimal health.
Today we can generally eat all food, all year round, and in plentiful supply.
Does that mean eating fat day in and day out is good for long-term health or only for short periods?
Does that mean eating meat daily is also good for long-term health?
How does the "natural flow of seasonal food creating balance over time" fit with the modern convenience of being to enjoy anything we like all the time?
Just as it's not about calories, it's not about the numbers, it's about the quality of our food. JJ Virgin shares, "Everything you're eating is telling your body something. You want to make sure that your food is telling your body to balance your blood sugar, balanced blood sugar is everything to lower your inflammation to have great energy, to have better focus, and to burn off stored body fat."
No carbs, very low carbs (Keto), or low carbs (Paleo), it all comes down to the quality of carbohydrates.
It is vital to remember that it's different for everybody. Some people will thrive on Keto, others will do really well initially then struggle and others will struggle from the start. JJ Virgin shares "I find most women suck on keto. It's difficult if you've got thyroid conditions, adrenal problems, and fertility issues."
Keto is a drastic change in most people's diets and if you make the change straight out you could be setting yourself up for failure. Without due attention, Keto can stress the body which will hinder the success you are chasing. Adjust your body first by transitioning your diet so your body has time to shift from a sugar burner to a fat burner.
My concern as a health professional is if we are so focused on keeping our Ketone number "right" are we really learning to eat intuitively to help our body thrive?
Ideally what we need to be working towards are sustainable strategies. "We don't really want to live our life peeing on a stick every day. What we really need is to become more aware of our body signals and signs."
- Satiety
- Fasting
- The length between meals or do you need to snack often
- Can you exercise whilst fasted?
- Bloating or other discomforts
- Fatigue
- Constipation or diarrhea
We want to work towards feeling empowered; a diet shouldn't be a set of rules, we need to learn to listen to our body and how it reacts to certain foods and certain levels of foods. We need to not be scared of experimenting with ourselves, so we really understand what is OUR optimal diet.
If we develop a broader understanding of the impact certain foods have on the body rather than a rule-based approach which comes with most diet trends, then people can start to make informed choices.
Intuitive eating is paying attention to how foods affect you. Look for new symptoms or worsened symptoms, anything uncomfortable sensations in your body. It is not always easy to develop this sense of awareness, in fact, it can be easier to follow a set of rules or a prescribed way of eating rather than learning to pay attention.
Something to consider is that being fat adapted, in other words, our body is using fat for fuel, means that ketones are being used therefore they are not available to be measured. If this is the case then what do our "numbers" really tell us?
In regard to Keto, as with many of the diet protocols, there are more questions than there are answers, some reports say Keto is a therapeutic diet not recommended as a starting out strategy, or a long-term way of eating. Others say extremely low carb diets can interfere with hormones and so are not good long-term for women or those with fertility issues. And others will swear by them as the answer to all our ills.
As I study health and wellbeing the one point I keep coming back to is Bio-individuality. If we stay committed to a diet protocol instead of learning to listen to our body we can miss the point and put the body into stress which will work against us. This is where many set themselves up for failure because the "Rules" take precedence over their own body. The key is flexibility within a general routine of a healthy Low Carb: High Fat: Quality protein eating regime.
How low your carbs need to be, eg Keto and for how long, needs to be monitored. Start in one place, some will respond to more others less, only you know your body.
A Paleo style diet which is Low Carb High Fat is a good place to start and can address many health conditions, including weight loss, without having to go too extreme with Keto.
In conclusion, there is no one diet that works well for everybody, we are all uniquely bio-individual and the sooner we learn how food makes OUR body feel will be the beginning of working out what foods we need to eat. As our body changes with time, these tools, this awareness continues to empower our choices. No-one knows your body better than you do! Diet protocols can be a helpful guide only when viewed as a journey of discovery to what helps you feel full of energy and what doesn't.
No-one knows your body better than you do!

Revolution Health Radio – RHR: Debunking Paleo Diet Myths with Sarah Ballantyne
Healthy Moms Podcast By Wellness Mama – Episode 125: Understanding Food Intolerance & Fighting For Your Family with JJ Virgin
Please note that these are my personal thoughts, based on my own research and understanding, for your consideration. As always you should seek medical advice before starting any new dietary regime and consider your own bodies physical needs. We are all bio-individual and what works for one person may not work for another. Awareness of your own body will be a key factor in learning what fuels your body for optimal performance and health and what doesn't.

Think Like a Champion!
What gives Third Coast Events a competitive edge in a crowded market? We think like athletes! Because we embrace a sports mentality, we are always on the hunt for the next big win. This mind-set is why we stay in the lead when it comes to interactive marketing campaigns.
To think like a champion means having an action plan that will take you where you need to go. In our Third Coast Events culture, we put a premium on goal setting. Here's a peek at the game plan we use to get us into the winner's circle:
• Evaluate Progress: If we want to know how much farther we want to go, we need to look at how far we've come to date.
• Grow With GROWTH Model: Our strategy for reaching our targets starts with setting goals, confirming if they are realistic, knowing our options, and identifying what's next.
• Personal Goals Matter: Sure, we have company goals we all put in 100 percent to achieve. But we also like to beat our own personal best, so we set objectives for ourselves, too.
• Start With Small Steps: Goals don't happen overnight. That's why we create a vision of success, then fill in the milestones, or smaller steps, that will lead us there.
• Build a Timeframe: An objective without a deadline is one that never ends. That's why we set an end date, and work backward with what we need to accomplish and when we expect to reach each milestone.
We're on a mission to stay on top of our game at all times. Follow Third Coast Events on LinkedIn to see where we are on the leaderboard.

Entropy was one of the Cosmic Entities in the universe.
The walls of the Temple Vault on Morag displayed the four entities that created the Infinity Stones: Entropy, Infinity, Death and Eternity.[1]
- "Entropy came into being at the beginning of time along with his father Eternity. Entropy's purpose is destruction: this drive pits him in a constant struggle with Eternity whose goal is creation. Together they keep the cycles of creation and destruction in balance."[2]
- Concept art was made of Entropy using the Orb to kill beings.[2]
