There's nothing more satisfying than a beloved character returning to a show long after they were given a proper and fitting send-off, except for maybe not doing that. Nonetheless, fans of delightful character actors can raise a beer in happy expectation, as Variety reports that Jim Beaver, a.k.a. Bobby Singer, is returning to Supernatural for a guest spot in the April 1 episode.
To be fair, this show can justify bringing back a long-dead character much more reasonably than could, say, The Big Bang Theory. After all, Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) have already been to heaven, so getting in touch with someone who now lives there shouldn't be much of a problem. The upcoming episode finds several plotlines coming to a head, as Dean gets ready to face off against Rowena, Irish-brogued jerk and mother of Crowley. Meanwhile, Sam and Castiel "need a little help from someone in heaven, so they turn to Bobby." Presumably Tumblr will not take this opportunity to post another twenty million gifs of Jensen Ackles, because that's definitely not its default response to everything.

The Bottom Line: Sometimes you've got to put your big girl pants on and make a call.
The Full Story:
There was a time when people couldn't wait to talk on the phone. In the not so distant past, some of us headed straight home from school to chat with our besties for hours on end. Now when the phone rings and it's not mom, we have a moment of panic because nobody likes talking on the phone anymore. In fact, according to a survey of 2,000 people, 61% admit to ducking calls regularly.
Since no one actually wants to talk to anyone else, the phone call avoiders opt for text or email to communicate instead. And that's great for setting up plans or relaying a quick message, but there are some situations that deserve more than a text or email. According to tech expert Angus Kidman, these are the conversations we shouldn't text about.
- Continuing a fight - It's just way too easy to misinterpret messages, so it's better to talk on the phone or in person so you can hear the other person's tone and see their expression.
- Breaking up with someone - We shouldn't even have to mention this, but apparently some people out there don't know it's bad form to end a relationship over text. But depending on the length of the romance, a phone call could do it.
- Important work conversations - If it's an issue with serious consequences, a mistake or crucial decision, pick up the phone, or organize a meeting. It'll probably save you time and you'll get to the bottom of things much quicker.
- Delivering bad news - This one should also go without saying, but any bad news that's going to worry or upset someone shouldn't be given in a text. So just suck it up and make the call.Source: MamaMia

It's feeling a lot like Christmas here in Southwestern Canada. With just over a week before the big day, our lives have been a flurry of school and church programs, family activities, list-making, shopping, decorating and baking. This past weekend, we had two family Christmas potluck-style gatherings. With all of the turkey, ham, casseroles, and sweets at these events, it is nice to offer something both light and nourishing. And maybe it is just me, but I feel like my plate is not complete until there is something green on it!
This salad is reminiscent of one that my mom used to serve throughout my childhood, and yet not at all alike. Marinating the onions (as I do for most salads I make) cuts the sharp flavor and crunch you get from a raw onion (although it doesn't neutralize breath!) The vinaigrette keeps the salad feeling light. And it holds up well at a weeknight potluck or weekend brunch, as there isn't a trace of mayonnaise to be found in it. While it couldn't compare to my mom's gluten-free cream puffs, the aunties and cousins all enjoyed it a lot!
Broccoli Salad with Marinated Red Onions
(A Grow. Cook. Eat. Share. original recipe)
2 large crowns of broccoli (stems optional)
1 pound bacon, or 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
1/4 red onion, finely sliced
1/4 cup lightly sweetened dried cranberries
1/4 cup roasted, salted pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon bacon fat, melted
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (about 40 twists of my pepper mill is the equivalent to 1 teaspoon)
Cut bacon into small chunks and sautee over medium heat until browned. Strain the bacon bits, and reserve the bacon fat. (I like to store mine in a mason jar, and use it for scrambled eggs. So yummy!)
Wash and trim broccoli crowns, cutting broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
If using the stems, peel them, and slice them into matchsticks, or grate them on a box grater.
Combine ingredients for the dressing in a 2 cup (500 ml) mason jar, and shake to combine. If you do not have bacon fat, just use another tablespoon of olive oil instead.
Quarter and peel a red (purple) onion, and finely slice it lengthwise. Add onion to the dressing, and allow it to marinade until serving. (Five minutes to two hours)
Combine broccoli, bacon bits, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds in a large bowl.
Just before serving, toss salad thoroughly with the red onions and about half of the dressing, adding more as necessary.
Makes approximately 8-10 side servings.
As with all of my recipes, I highly encourage the use of organic, local products when available. Talking to farmers, reading labels, and looking for only the purest, freshest ingredients possible ensures high quality, nutritionally dense foods, that help take a recipe from good to amazing!

She announced that for 2018 there has only been one confirmed case of vector borne disease in the Federation due to the increased traction of the vector control and prevention programme.
"Of course we have had no evidence in our system of the presence of ZIKA. To be precise, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed St. Kitts and Nevis of being ZIKA free since we would have last recorded the ZIKA case back in 2016," said Minister Phipps.
The minister urged persons to follow the instructions put out by the Department of Environmental Health with respect to fogging and to take the necessary measures to ensure that their households are not unintentionally becoming breeding grounds for mosquitos.
She highlighted that the Federation is still celebrating its one-year anniversary after St. Kitts and Nevis was successful in the Elimination of Mother-to-child transfer (EMTCT) of HIV and syphilis.
"We are working assiduously to continue on that trend to maintain our status and at the same time working towards EMTCT, which is taking the evaluation a step further with the elimination of hepatitis B and chagas disease," she added.
Minister Phipps reported that the pilot programme, which began in July with the introduction of a district medical office clinic at the Conaree Health Centre, has proven to be very successful. She said that the pilot programme was designed to service residents in the surrounding area who may not be able to easily access the Newtown and St. Peter's Health Centre.
"I am happy to report from the data from Dr. Maria Warner, the specialist who runs that centre on a part-time basis, has recorded that between the opening and within the last week she would have seen and treated over 270 patients. It tells us that there was definitely a need for that service," Minister Phipps said.

Jury remains out on ECB deflation-fighting plans
COPYING AND DISTRIBUTING ARE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE PUBLISHER: email@example.com
Draghi attempted to convince markets at Thursday's press briefing that the ECB has officially awarded itself some new monetary policy tools – with the most dramatic being QE – as it frets over the prospect of the eurozone sliding into deflation.
Quantitative easing (QE) is hardly cutting-edge these days, as it has been deployed elsewhere, but its use could still be a game-changer for the euro in that it could create a bear market for the single currency.
However, will it happen?
Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), is widely credited in the FX markets for being a deft communicator.
Some of his verbal interventions, such as the whatever it takes to save the euro speech in July 2012, rank among the most effective in recent memory. It reversed the existential crisis rapidly engulfing the then floundering euro.
So was Thursdays press briefing one of those moments?
Draghi let it be known: The [ECBs] governing council is unanimous in its commitment to using also unconventional instruments, adding that measures such as QE have been actively considered.
The ECB attempted to convince markets all manner of policy tools are now up for grabs. It is concerned the eurozone might be teetering on the edge of a deflationary abyss where economies stagnate as consumers delay purchases and companies investment plans.
Apart from QE, theres the potential for negative deposit rates, currently at zero, through to more variations on the theme of refinancing operations for banks. Some unconventional monetary tools, particularly QE, have been considered akin to monetary heresy in Germany.
Yet one of its staunchest opponents, Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann, who also sits on the ECBs governing council, has dramatically softened his stance recently towards measures such as QE.
However, this probably isnt a conversion on the road to Damascus.
Viewed from the perspective of dealing with deflation, QE appears much more acceptable, says Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist with Capital Economics.
And the spectre of deflation does appear to be looming larger. Inflation in the eurozone was a mere 0.5% in March, down from 0.7% in February and well below the ECBs 2% target.
During the height of the eurozone crisis, QE would have been closely associated with indirectly funding struggling peripheral member states. For Germany this was a non-starter. In its eyes it would have been an excuse for struggling peripheral states to delay fiscal consolidation.
According to Loynes, the use of QE is also unlikely to contravene the ECBs mandate as long as the bond purchases are conducted in the secondary market. If they bought corporate bonds, it would be even less associated with potentially funding countries, says Loynes.
However, as Draghi points out, most financing is done via banks in Europe. In other words, the corporate bond market is relatively small. Yet Draghi seems keenest to aim any stimulus as squarely as possible in the direction of the private sector. Hence he wants to revive the asset-backed securities market but doing so is unlikely to be in time to form part of a stimulus package.
It depends on the deflationary outlook:
|Euro-area annual inflation and its main components (%), April 2012 - March 2014. Source: Eurostat
Despite the excitement by some commentators, QE is unlikely to happen soon, if at all. As the ECB said, conventional measures have not been exhausted, says Brian Martin, senior European strategist with ANZ. The ECB may never even use QE. Martin says its use depends on the trajectory of eurozone inflation numbers. Draghi says a number of seasonal factors drove inflation lower in March, suggesting a possible rebound in April. Bayern LB is looking for 0.7% to 1.0% for that month. As Loynes states, a clearer picture might not emerge until May, when the data should be less distorted by seasonal factors. Therefore, unconventional intervention by the ECB could still be months away.
In a research note, Barclays Capital doesnt see unconventional instruments, including QE, being utilized by the ECB until year-end. For the time being, talking the currency down is one way to go and that box was ticked at the press conference, though boosting eurozone inflation would require a substantial and sustained devaluation. Low inflation, capital inflows, the recovering eurozone economy and a large current-account surplus all conspire for a strengthening euro. The main refinancing rate at 0.25% could be cut to zero, but that might not have much effect either.
The euro could behave a bit like a cork in water that stubbornly keeps bobbing up, despite the ECBs best verbal efforts to keep it down. Many analysts are warning that the most recent verbal intervention, if it is to work, will have to be backed up by action. Fortunately for Draghi, he appears to be well kitted out for a long campaign against deflation if thats what it takes.

By Abbigale (Abbi J) Winslow
Like many fresh college graduates, Abbi J landed a job and started climbing the corporate ladder. She was earning good money. But she wasn't happy. There were days she cried before leaving for work because she hated her job. She called it quits even without a new job prospect down the line. She was unemployed, scared, but definitely happier!
She then asked herself one fundamental question: What do I want to do with my life? It was then that she realized she didn't want to go back to the corporate world. She wanted to be a life coach and be her own boss. That was when AJ Life Hacks was born.
Today, through her YouTube videos and online courses, she's teaching millennials how to create and live life with passion and purpose. Today, we welcome Abbi J to The After Six Club's #AmbitiousTribe. This is her story.
I'm Abbigale Winslow and my nickname is Abbi J. So the "AJ" in AJ Life Hacks is me. I have a degree in marketing and so I knew my business name had to be clear, easy to say, and explain. AJ Life Hacks was perfect: It's basically me teaching life hacks.
Life coaching and public speaking are in my blood. My father was the first person to really see my passion for personal development and speaking. He helped me realized that I could make a career and business out of it. Since so few people do what I do, I feel that I didn't choose this path. Instead, I created my own.
AJ Life Hacks was established in 2017 and it's all about helping people find their success. I specialize in teaching young adults life skills and success principles to help them break free from so-called "average" living and create a life they love. I teach personal development fundamentals through my online courses, books, and YouTube videos.
Utah will always be my home and this is where my business is based. The best part about my business is that I can do it anywhere! And this is something that's really important to me. I mostly run my business at home so I can always be close to my family.
What do you believe makes your business stand out?
My personality, style of teaching, and speaking are uniquely tied to who I am. They are three of the greatest factors that make my business stand out. I learned that instead of trying to be like the 1,000s of other YouTubers out there, I need to focus on myself and embrace my unique differences.
Is it always necessary to be passionate about what your business is about in order for it to succeed?
Yes! If you aren't jumping out of bed to work on your business then you are in the wrong business. While you can make money through different businesses or jobs, you must have some level of passion for what you do to truly be successful. Otherwise, you are just making a living and not succeeding.
How did you obtain capital? Were there investors?
Thankfully, I didn't need much to get started in my business. I have always followed the advice of my college professor who said that the most successful businesses don't need crazy capital to get started. They just start with what they have. There are so many free digital services, video services, and tools available online. My business has been self-funded and at very little cost.
How did you build your customer base? What form of marketing has been most effective for you so far?
YouTube proves to be one of the greatest platforms I use in building my audience. Offer-based marketing, wherein you give valuable service for free to build trust, relationships, and a customer base has also proven effective in my business.
How do you generate new ideas for your business' growth?
It's all about knowing where you want to go. You have to start with the end in mind and be very clear on your vision. Once you have a clear vision of how you want your business to grow, opportunities start to present themselves. You just do what you can right now and always keep your eyes and ears open for anything that adds to the vision of your business.
What kind of company culture are you implementing/would like to implement? What are your core values?
Right now, my business is small in terms of employees but I like it that way. In the future, I would love to create a company culture that embraces integrity, freedom, ingenuity, and creativity.
How do you deal with major mishaps? What would you say is one of the biggest mistakes you've made?
My biggest mistake to date was not starting my business sooner. I sometimes catch myself wishing I should have done what I'm doing right now years earlier. Whenever that happens, I really have to remember to take one day at a time. We have to embrace where we are. We all wish we are better, stronger, faster, smarter, or, in my case, started sooner. You can't change the past. You just have to learn from it and be grateful that you are where you are today.
What skills do you believe are necessary in handling a business?
To be a business owner, you can't give too much value to what other people think about you and your business. I really struggled with this when I first started. People didn't understand my business and looked at me like I was insane when I explained what I was doing. You just have to realize that not everyone will catch your vision. That's okay. Remind yourself that you are focused on those who get it.
What would you say are some dos and don'ts in starting one?
Do make a plan. Do look at all the risks. Do calculate the cost in time and money. Do what you love. Do start small.
Don't start a business just because it seems like a cool thing to do. Don't trade time for money. Don't give up.
Was there ever a time you felt afraid that this might not work? How did you manage this fear?
Managing fear is a huge part of being an entrepreneur. The fear of failure is inside all of us. You have to take it one day at a time and realize that it really is okay to fail. I tell myself all the time that if a new idea for my business doesn't work or if I don't hit my goals, it was still worth it. Why? Because I learned something in the process.
Describe a typical day for you. How many hours of work a day do you put in? How many days per week?
I wake up and work out. Then I work on my top priorities for my business, then spend as much time as I can with my husband and family. There is always something I could be working on when it comes to my business. For that reason, I draw boundaries and always try to end my work around 4:00 P.M. and not work during weekends.
What is your greatest fear?
Not being able to take care of my family. It's one of the reasons I started my business in the first place.
What sacrifices have you had to make to get here?
My greatest sacrifice has been my time. When you first start out, you can't just work full time on your own business. Normally, it starts out as a side hustle and that eats up all of your spare time. While others are playing or having fun during the weekends, you are trying to work on your business. But just like any sacrifice, it's worth it.
What can you consider is your greatest success?
My greatest success has been creating a home and a family where love abounds. At the end of the day, it's family that matters and nothing else.
What would you say is the secret to success?
The ability to take action. Do something small today, right now, to further your future. That is how you create success.
What is your favorite aspect of being an entrepreneur?
Freedom. You can always get more money but you can't get more time.
What motivates you? Who has been your greatest inspiration?
My own vision for the future and all I want to accomplish. These motivate me every single day to give it my all. I would have to say my father has been my greatest inspiration. He is an entrepreneur and through the ups and the downs, he still chases his dream with passion.
Where do you see yourself and your business in 10 years?
With millions of YouTube views, speaking tours, published books, and most importantly, I see myself continually getting better.
Do you consider yourself an ambitious person?
Absolutely! I realized at a young age that I wanted more out of life than the rest of my peers. My family recognized it and really helped me figure out how to use that ambition to push myself forward. Ambition is the secret sauce that will separate yourself and your business from the competition. It's being willing to go for crazy dreams and goals that help you find your true calling. If I wasn't an ambitious person, I never would have even started my business.
What piece of advice can you give to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Don't ask a brickmaker how to make bread. Ask a baker. Don't listen to anyone who hasn't done a specific task ahead of you and have done it well.

Police Bust Beijing Dog-meat Gang Selling Stolen Pets For Food
Authorities in Beijing have busted a gang and workshop where stolen pets were brought to and killed for food. Numerous cages were found at the premises holding around 34 dogs, all of which were once someone's pet. Police arrested several of the gang members at the site.
The dogs rescued from the pet slaughterhouse have been sent to local animal shelter where animal welfare groups are looking after them. So far one of the dogs has had a happy reunion with his owner, after police were able to find them from the dog's microchip.
The pets had been ordered into 'luxury' and 'ordinary' types, with the latter being killed on site and sent off to nearby restaurants.
According to a report from the arrest, some of the animals might not have been quarantined which would also had breached food security regulations. That and the fact that they are also someone's pet, surely...
Unfortunately underground dog meat traders such as these are not uncommon in China and many of the dogs used for food in the country continue to procured from pet owners by shady organizations such as this one.

Women of Troy set to host LMU in conference battle
After suffering a heartbreaking 9-5 loss last week to Stanford in a 2013 National Championship rematch, snapping a 27-game winning streak dating back to last season, the USC women's water polo team wasted no time starting a new winning streak on Sunday.
The No. 2 Women of Troy (21-1, 4-1 MPSF) jumped back into the pool in the comforts of the Uytengsu Aquatics Center against No. 6 UC Irvine, coming away with a 16-5 victory. The Anteaters (17-7) entered the contest on a seven-game winning streak of their own that was brought to a sudden halt.
After trading goals early on, the Cardinal and Gold were able to extend a 4-2 first quarter lead into a 10-2 halftime advantage. Senior two-meter Colleen O'Donnell tallied a first-half hat trick to lead the Women of Troy into intermission.
Unlike the second period, the Anteaters thwarted the USC attack to begin the third quarter. Both teams registered three goals in the eight-minute period, bringing the score to 13-5. The fourth period, though, was no contest for the Women of Troy.
In the quarter, junior two-meter Eike Daube tallied a career-high fifth goal of the match and junior driver Monica Vavic picked up a hat trick of her own, propelling her to sole possession of fifth place in scoring in program history. The Women of Troy polished off the visiting UCI bunch, 16-5.
"It's great to see Eike step up as a junior," said senior captain Kaleigh Gilchrist. "We saw sparks of it freshman and sophomore year, and then for her to take on a completely different role this year is awesome because we need as many people as possible."
Though the offense proved dominant across the board, it was the stellar play on the defensive end of the pool that kept the Women of Troy ahead. The dynamic defense blanked the Anteaters on the scoreboard in both the second and final quarter. Anchoring the defensive unit was senior goalie Flora Bolonyai, who recorded 13 saves.
"Flora has been our team's best player, in my opinion," said Gilchrist, who punched in two goals in the victory. "To have someone that great with that much experience in the cage is awesome."
The USC victory on Sunday brings the overall series record against UCI to an astonishing 22-3.
"It's just really important to bounce back after a tough loss and get refocused and realize that we still have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time," Gilchrist said. "I think that we were able to do that and prove it against UCI. We just want to keep the momentum alive after the UCI win."
The Women of Troy now have their sights on extending this new win streak as they prepare to face off against No. 11 Loyola Marymount (17-10) on Thursday afternoon at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
The Lions enter the match winning four of their last five games, with the sole loss coming at the hands of a San Diego State goal with 0.2 seconds remaining on the clock. With Loyola hungry to avenge the tough loss, the Women of Troy are prepared for a grueling game.
"We still have a lot of areas to work on so we will just be focusing on that in practice," Gilchrist said. "We only have two practices before the LMU game so we need to stay really focused and hopefully execute on Thursday."
Tomorrow's game is the second-to-last regular season contest before USC plays host to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament. The game is slated to start at 4:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.

Columbia University's Native American Council will be celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day today, in lieu of Columbus Day, and with good reason—so take this opportunity to cast off second-grade history (replete with offensive pageants and revisionist history) and stop moaning about having class today. They will be on College Walk all day to promote several activities: there will be a petition to recognize the Lenni-Lenape people with a plaque on campus, an eye-opening quote-matching game, and boards for posting public comments. Look out for the open mic from 6 to 7 pm at the Sundial, featuring poetry, songs, and spoken word performances from community members.
Update, 11:40 am: There was a gathering outside the Diana Center at Barnard in support of divestment from fossil fuels. The chalk writing on the ground reads, "Barnard profits from the exploitation of people and the environment." Another one reads, "Defend our Mother Earth."
Update, 4:30 pm: The chalk drawing advocating for divestment is apparently unconnected to Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Rillest Squad via Facebook
@Anonymous RE: the comment^^ climate change disproportionately affects indigenous people and by investing in fossil fuels, Barnard is profiting from the industries such as coal mining and fracking companies that are expropriating sacred land:

Okay as the title of this post says, I thank the God of soundtracks for the fact that the soundtrack to The Power of One by Hans Zimmer is available again! Let me tell you my history with this great soundtrack!
I bought this soundtrack way back when on audio cassette tape. As the years passed by, I no longer had equipment to play tapes on anymore. So I started looking for the soundtrack on CD. Well, by the time I started looking for the soundtrack on CD, it was no longer in print! I looked relentlessly for years and years, but I didn't find the soundtrack available. My music loving heart was broken!!
However, one day I was looking on Amazon again totally expecting the same outcome. When suddenly I saw that the soundtrack was available on Amazon as an MP3 download! My broken heart began to feel that it could heal if I just downloaded the soundtrack. I then went to iTunes and found out I could download it from there too! I was happy, happy, joy, joy! I downloaded it from iTunes.
The soundtrack is wonderful! I'm a fan of African music and this soundtrack is full of great African music created for the film. I always loved it and I still love it! I am so glad that it was made available as a download.
If you're a fan of Hans Zimmer's music and want to own another of his great film soundtracks, head on over to either Amazon or iTunes and download it right away. You won't be disappointed.

Adventures Of Spider-Man #6
Marvel (September, 1996)"Puppets" WRITER: Michael Higgins PENCILER: Andy Kuhn INKER: Don Hudson COLORIST: Kevin Tinsley LETTERER: someone forgot to credit the letterer…which is usually written by the letterer EDITOR: Mark Powers
With the rest of the Fantastic Four having some government meeting Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, is Alicia's escort to a statue showing at Four Freedoms Plaza, the FF's home at the time. Peter is assigned to cover it while the Daily Bugle's usual event photographer is unavailable, and Peter and Johnny don't get along. Things get worse when the Puppet Master appears to be using the Thing to attack the Torch and nab his adopted daughter, Alicia. However, when he uses his clay to control Spider-Man, Johnny remembers that Puppet Master can only control one person at a time, and reveals the "Thing" to be a machine controlled by the Mad Thinker, knowing Johnny wouldn't go full-blast on what he thought was his friend. Puppet Master and Mad Thinker escape and Johnny has to borrow Peter's tux because he burned his clothes off when he flamed on.
To their credit, they do explain that Johnny's costume is made of unstable molecules, which is why it doesn't burn up. This is the only praise I can give this comic. For one thing, it doesn't feel like a Spider-Man story, but rather a Human Torch story guest-starring Spider-Man. And I know in the early days Peter and Johnny didn't get along, but Johnny calling him "Puny Parker" like he's Flash Thompson is just wrong. Also wrong is the artwork. It's trying to emulate the show like a couple of issues ago but with all the exaggerated lines the 90s were addicted to. Also, I really don't know why Peter stays here. Last issue we saw Peter get a job opportunity with a rival paper that was willing to pay more rather than be stuck with this freelance gig with a guy who purposely blows cigar smoke in Peter's face this issue.
In other words, this is not a good comic, and I don't recommend it.

Buying your first house is an exciting adventure, especially when you are looking in or around the beautiful areas of Charleston. However, your enthusiasm must be met with conscious forethought and careful planning. There are many factors that must be taken into account to determine the ideal timing for a first-home purchase. At the Keadle Real Estate Group, we love the homes and communities of Charleston as much as you do, but we also understand that purchasing your first home is a monumental financial leap. To assist you with your home buying strategy, here are 3 factors you must consider in determining when it's the right time to buy your first house:
Are your finances and career stable? Defaulting on a mortgage can seriously damage your credit and ability to secure loans for future purchases, so it is critical that you are certain your long-term finances and career are stable enough to pay for the mortgage, insurance, and other cost-of-living expenses related to the new home.
Is the interest rate favorable? Mortgage interest rates can change from day-to-day, week to week, so you should consult with a mortgage loan officer to assist you in calculating the amount your current mortgage payment would be based on a pre-approved loan amount if you locked in your rate on that particular day. Then, ask if there is any speculation as to whether the Federal Reserve may raise or lower the current interest rate. Armed with this information and the guidance of your mortgage loan officer, it may be a good time to buy or it may be time to wait. You can also use this opportunity to determine the loan amount you can afford and what will be expected for a down payment at closing.
Have you found the perfect house? For many home buyers, finding the perfect house can take a long time resulting in a home buyer settling for a house that never quite feels like home. On the other hand, when you work with a Keadle Real Estate Group agent, you have the benefit of working with an area real estate professional that knows the current homes on the market and can quickly create a list of homes that are within your price range and have many, if not all, of your specified preferences.
Timing is everything when you are buying your first home to ensure you are making the right decision for your finances and your future. The real estate professionals of the Keadle Real Estate Group are eager to guide you through this milestone in your life. Contact our friendly and knowledgeable staff today by calling (800) 804-2187 and allow us to help you search Charleston Real Estate for Sale for the home of your dreams in one of the coveted Charleston communities.

Out of all of the places I've gone hiking, Canada is one of my favorites. We spent two weeks exploring the majestic mountains and serene lakes and enjoyed every second of it.
We started our day by hiking on the ridgeline of some mountains near Canmore Alberta. We were in bear country so the few miles in the dense forest kept us on edge after numerous reports of bears in the area. We finally broke through the treeline and found snow! Did I mention it was the middle of July? Due to the elevation and lower temperatures, the snow was able to stick around and provided the dogs with a place to cool off. We started our ascent up the mountain and it was steep. The rocks were loose and it was easy to lose your footing or twist an ankle. On this hike I chose to wear my Women's Sawtooth II Mid because of the ankle support that important for preventing a twisted ankle. It felt like our climb upwards was never ending but eventually after lots scrambling we reached the top of the ridge. The views looked like they were straight out of a National Geographic magazine and we were up so high we could stare eye-to-eye with the surrounding mountain peaks.
We walked the ridge for a while but unfortunately bad weather forced us to turn around. Huge black storm clouds rolled in and sleet was hitting us from all sides. With no tree cover and nowhere to hide we turned around and headed back down. The ice made the slippery rocks even more slick and I'm so grateful for the grip that the Women's Sawtooth II Mid provide because of their bottoms. Aside from a few scraped knees and being cold and wet, we all made it down safely.
Next up on our agenda was a sunset hike at one of the iconic Canadian lakes. It's one of my favorites because it looks like it's shaped like Ego! This trail is heavily trafficked so we went in the evening to avoid the crowds. The hike is easy and only takes 15-20 minutes to complete. My W's Cirque Low Bdry were perfect for this easy hike because they're extremely comfortable but still function as a tough hiking shoe. We snapped some photos, climbed on some rocks and watched the sun set behind the mountains before making our way back down.
Our last adventure of the trip is one that I will never forget. It started off with us canoeing 8 miles down a lake to our campsite that's only accessible by water. We had two people and three dogs all in one canoe paddling through the silky Canadian lake. We stopped after 4 miles to rest our arms and let the dogs run around. The water was blue and crystal clear and there were gorgeous mountain views all around us. We picked up our paddles and got back to paddling and made it another few miles when a storm hit. The skies were black, thunder and lighting fought above our heads. The canoe was pushed around by the waves and we raced towards the shore to seek cover. We hid under the trees to wait out the storm. At this point we were stuck because it wasn't safe to go back to the dock and it wasn't safe to go on. Thankfully the skies cleared and we made the decision to head to the campsite as we were only a few more miles away.
We made it to the campsite and unpacked our stuff. Our arms were exhausted and we were ready to go to sleep. The rain picked up again and we took shelter in our tent, three people and five dogs all in one tent. After a short nap we woke up and paddled another four miles to see an island for sunset. It was quite a sight seeing four dogs and three humans all in one canoe. The rain held off just long enough for us to make it back to the tent but it stormed all night which didn't bode well for the morning paddle back.
As we expected, the storm rolled into the next day and we were forced to start out journey in the rain. We had a tent tarp draped over the dogs who huddled at the bottom of the canoe to keep warm. We only made it a mile before there was already a pond at the bottom of the canoe and we were constantly struggling to go forward. It felt like no matter how hard we paddled forward the boat only went backwards. Exhausted, we pulled to the shore, hung a tarp and debated what our plan was. Of course we had no service and we were all too wet and tired to go any farther. We had just discussed pitching the tent and dividing our food rations when a boat came into view. We stood up to wave them down and luckily they saw us and headed our direction. With luck on our side it was Parks Canada Rescue! Some other campers at the campground mentioned that we had left in the storm and they set out looking for us to make sure we were ok. We loaded the dogs into their boat, hooked up our canoe and kayak, and they drove us back to the dock.
Canada is one of the most beautiful places I've traveled to and I'll definitely be back. Hopefully next time, mother nature will be a little kinder to us, but I know no matter the weather, good memories will be made.

Automate Every Room
To really "wow" your guests you need to design rooms with superior and unique technology. Automate every room by installing motorized shades, lighting control, and the very best audio and video systems. Place a TV mirror in the bathroom so they can enjoy shows while they brush their teeth or take a shower. Mount a flat-screen TV on the wall complete with surround sound and UHD picture. Include a variety of music channels that they can stream through the in-wall speakers. You could even tie in motion sensors in the room so that as soon as they step inside, the lights turn on for them. It's all about making a guest's experience extra special and extremely luxurious – and that may not have anything to do with the soft towels.
Smooth Out Operations
Running a hotel has its challenges. You have hundreds to thousands of guests in your high-end hotel every day. Meeting their every need is crucial to making a good impression. Use smart technology to manage their stay and to manage your staff. Keep an eye on everyone using security cameras in the common areas and hallways. Use intercom systems to communicate with the housekeepers, valets, concierges and front desk workers. Simulate special sequences using custom controls. Hit "after hours" and every night at 10 p.m. the lights dim throughout the hotel and the TVs and speakers turn off. Hit "Good morning" and the hotel gets ready by raising the shades, turning on all the lights, and broadcasting the morning news on the TVs in the dining areas and lobby. Automation opens up a lot of opportunities for you to maintain smooth operations, communication, and security,
Enhance Your Events
A large portion of your guests are usually staying for big events, such as weddings, conferences, and conventions. Your event space should also be equipped with high-end audio video and automation to make your customers experience perfect. You'll need lighting controls including dimmers, a large screen and projector, in-ceiling speakers or 2-channel loudspeakers at the front of the room, and easy-to-use controls for staff and management. A microphone system should also be easy to operate and you should include connections to Wi-Fi and computer systems for special presentations. With the latest audiovisuals and technologies in your conference center, your clients and guests will give you high recommendations for the next wedding for conference you host.
Do you need to upgrade your hotel with commercial audio video? Contact us by filling out this online form.

One opera down, two days with family and over 25 pretzels eaten, yes I have a pretzel issue! and I am back in the office. The short lived mini vacation is over and it is a bit sad. From landing in the rain to leaving in the sun, it was good. Some notes on the Hyatt next to the Opera Theater; old, tired, bad service, and to be avoided. Some notes on the Opera Company of Philadelphia – Do not avoid, Tosca was a great performance. What was the most fun in a two day break, you may ask, besides cousin Karen, it was the Philly Art Museum and all of the art and the featured expo – Art into Fashion, Robert Capucci. Some of the dresses truly were sculptures.
The restaurant in the dining hall was fantastic, the soup and espresso was perfect. When we entered the art museum the sky was dark and it was raining. When we came out of the art museum we were a little more enlightened and the sun was out and the sky was blue. After this we took a quick drive to a Philly casino, and in the casino I won 5 times my stake for playing, Five times your money is a great thing.
I was supposed to stay till ten on Thursday but my trip was cut short for a work call in the evening.
Before I left I did get to spend the day with my Cousin Karen and I did get to eat about 6 pounds of pretzels, bliss! Looking forward to going down next month to go out on the boat with Karen!
Ciao Ciao,

In this seminar I played this song only with the USA Signature to make the difference clear, in short the pickup is for HS - 3. After all, the hamstack is clear, but it will be the current style of Yingvei tone with a phase. It sounds quite different from the pure single coil FS - 1. But I think that this sound is like a trilogy album feeling.

Satori (悟り?) (Chinese: 悟; pinyin: wù; Korean 오; Vietnamese ngộ) is a Japanese Buddhist term for enlightenment that literally means "understanding". In the Zen Buddhist tradition, satori refers to a flash of sudden awareness, or individual enlightenment, and is considered a "first step" or embarkation toward nirvana.
Heart teams are in a constant state of flux. At least from what I have seen pumping at 30 or so different hospitals. It seems that every once in awhile you get the right mix of crew, personalities, commitment, and synergy. Our personal moment of Satori.
That " once in awhile" is the tip of the brush for the artist looking for the perfect landscape, or in our case- the perfect pump run.
That "once in awhile" is the moment of clarity, when all things gel to perfection, and crystallize for one brief snapshot before the next swell of change cascades onto the team.
I don't know whether we are heading towards it- or we just got there (Satori- that is) , but we have a truly great team dynamic right now.
Adding a new part (or parts) to the equation is always a hit or miss proposition.
As such, today I found myself in a backup role, breaking in our newest team member to one of our toughest surgeons. He's a great surgeon- just a little twitchy about who he lets in his room, and whether or not they are going to mess up his balance- or "chi". [1]
When I first met him, well it wasn't a cake walk. He was a military man- and so was I- just different ranks (significantly).
You have to prove yourself to this guy. So it's really up to you if you want that kind of challenge. I took it because of one clearly obvious fact. He genuinely cared for his patients.
Bull dog type of tenacity thing. Man- he wasn't gonna let you (the patient) go just because it was going to interfere with dinner, sleep, or anything else.
You might as well forget giving up, because he WILL make you want to live, if for no other reason than to just be able to crawl away- to get away from him.
Now THAT – is something I can respect.
Meet Nebraska
So anyway, we have a relatively not-so-new grad, he's definitely proven himself to be a keeper, and for the sake of this story, we'll call him Nebraska to preserve his anonymity, and well, 'cuz that's where he's from.
So the DEAL is… I am going to be a buffer to slowly get the the surgeon at the top of this post, to hang out with the new perfusionist right above the last couple of sentences. Note: Hang out = tolerate.
On top of that, I have to try to stay clinically removed and muzzle my own instincts regarding patient management, and walk a tight rope of diplomacy so to speak.
Want to keep the surgeon happy, the new guy unruffled, and still try to have fun doing it. Hence this post.
The Pump Run
We make choices on every case we do- Q rates, Prime, Rapping, Hypothermia, blah blah blah… add infinitum.
One of the more interesting doors we open and peer through, is the transfusion threshold (the lowest critical point to which you are willing to expose the patient to potentially localized or systemic hypoxic states).
Basically, it is YOUR line in the sand. Whatever value/number you choose (Hct / Hgb) as your trigger-point to intervene.
Transfusing blood is always strewn with controversy because of the following:
- Most programs are measured by their transfusion rates
- Invokes a statistically greater risk in terms of morbidity
- Cost
- Is the result of "Old School" paradigms.
Conversely, choosing NOT to transfuse a patient may:
- Decrease survivability
- Expose the patient to a potential stroke window
- Further exacerbate an already fertile environment for systemic complications
- Improve patient outcome by the simple fact that you have avoided the above.
So for today we have the following clinical presentation:
Op: Mitral Valve Replacement: 56 kg: Short: Hgb 10.0 gm/dl: Priming volume about 1,000 ml after RAP & adding prime constituents: Moderate to mild hypothermia: Estimated pump run of 70 minutes or so.
Now my instincts on a case like this are to drop a unit or two of blood into the prime, chase out the equivalent volume of crystalloid, and reduce the implied hemodilution. I tend to try to avoid a stroke window, if we dilute to a Hgb of less than 6.5 or so.
Nebraska countered my argument taking into consideration the patient's lack of cerebrovascular issues, and wanted to give it a shot, and hold off or "wait and see". Anesthesia was in the mix with this and was cool with whatever direction we took.
Obviously if you can avoid transfusing blood, the better off you are (the patient).
I enjoy seeing contrasting opinions / approaches, and liked the fact that our newest colleague was asserting himself on this issue. You can argue either position, and he had done a fine job- and it was his case and it was his patient.
The fact that he is willing to position himself, takes conviction and decisiveness- two seriously good qualities you want to see in a perfusionist.
That speaks volumes. (No pun)
I sat back and watched from the bleachers…
Well we went on CPB, and first gas at 10 minutes into the run came back looking pretty good. Good oxygen saturations, Acid-Base was great, and the Hct. was 21%.
So we're going to ride this pony and see where it takes us.
Half way through the case, we took off over 3 liters via ultrafiltration, the Hct is 25% and things are looking pretty.
And then a hiccup. And we extend the operation a bit, and the patient is doing well but the venous return could be better- but not an issue. (There's plenty of it, just a little messy with air coming across the venous purse strings)
(The byproduct of bicaval cannulation, tough exposure, and hard retraction.)
By now the Hct is 21-23 ish and it's time to make a choice. It becomes not a question of If… but a question of When…
And we're rewarming, we de-air the heart, XC comes off, convert to sinus rhythm, down to just one caval canulae (inferior) and finally we are off pump, all is well in the kingdom, the surgeon leaves and I let Nebraska know that I felt he did an outstanding job.
While it's tough staying out of the mix, you have to accept that it's part of the process. You give the best of what you have, knowing it's tempered with experience. So a part of my instructor, is passed on to me and then down the line to Nebraska… and so forth as it should be.
The job got done, and it was done right…
Adios for now 🙂
Oh yeah… That's right… What about the blood ? == 🙂
Note: See comments section to find out about the blood 🙂
The ancient Chinese described it as "life-force". They believed chi permeated everything and linked their surroundings together. They likened it to the flow of energy around and through the body, forming a cohesive and functioning unit.
By understanding its rhythm and flow they believed they could guide exercises and treatments to provide stability and longevity.

@CircuitSurfers so what about the blood?
Did you need to volume to come off or Anesthesia transfuse post CPB?
Take a close look at the last picture- spiked 2 units-
hemoconcentrated some more- came off @ 29%
Teut, worked at a blood bank to, Hemoconcentrated? Platlets? Also that was in the 91 so I'm sure things have progressed since FFP!
You have such a crazy cool job! Makes me miss the other crazy as an ER EMT.
It can be stressful. Did the Navy Corpsman thing- so yeah- EMT was part of that. 🙂
EMT can be stressful, but I just loved every minute. Miss it a lot.
Hey, loved the post and the photos
Appreciate that. When I took them this morning- since I was backing up- I already had the post diagrammed in my head.
Thanks bro 🙂
Hi Teut,
Really appreciate the invite here and knowing that if I should ever need a heart type sx I would have people like you working for me.
My background is Veterinary technician in the 80's obviously unless you worked at a teaching hospital our facilities were, ugh…primitive 🙁
But we did the best for our patients, with what we had.
Please tell me what the education is for a perfussionist? Not that I'm going to do it but I'm interested how does one get in this field. Thanks Teut! You and your team…Satori!
I went to the Balboa Veterinary Hospital (San Diego Zoo) behind the scenes back in 1988. That was cool stuff !
Back in the early 70s, I was part of a University of Cincinnati team that sat with pregnant gorillas, waiting for birth. I had the 4-7 am shift. Was really cool working with the keepers, spending time with the gorillas, chimps and orangs during downtimes.
that would have been at the Cincinnati Zoo…
I love how the "elders" simultaneously teach and learn from the newbies fresh out of school in medicine. It sure keeps things interesting, no?
Hi Teut!
Not shy,
Just stopping by,
Wanted to say "Hi."
Nice Blog!!!! Beautiful photos.
Thanks TOC. 🙂
great stuff, informative, insightful , and motivational. Satori
we do not give blood unless the Hct is below 18%. Our team would probably be asking ourselves should we have given 2 units of blood if we can off pump with a Hct of 29%.
Well she was a frail lady, we replaced the same valve twice, and our team probably felt that she was going to get transfused sooner or later.
I'm not going to take a patient as sick as she was off at 21%.
So why wait?
We simply use giving blood as a last resort. If the hct is 20% or less and we are struggling with volume and the patient is not tolerating lower flows, then we give blood on pump. Otherwise, we prefer to see if the patient can hold there own before assuming they can not. We feel the negative affects of blood transfusion to warrant our practice.
Does the potential for a stroke outweigh the immunological / or Hepatitis risk (1/500,000 for Hep C) to the patient?
Just askin'.
I totally understand your position.
Maybe you could work on lowering your prime volume….1000 AFTER RAP???? WOW!
I also would have waited to give blood.
Why would you have waited? It would have dropped below 20 in the ICU. ?
And yeah 1000 after RAP- (I factored in the volume we add for the prime constituents- mannitol, NaHCo3, and albumin) as we go on bypass.
You reading Don Winslow? Eh??
Not Really-
I just remember it from back in HS- did a lot of reading. It came up back then. I guess it was a flash in the pan and popped out while I was writing the post.
So did you finish the lawn and ?

So far this year 5th class have been working hard and enjoying Science in class. We've made "Oobleck", looked at "Dancing Raisins" , and in our most recent experiment 5th class tested the pH of many different everyday substances using a red cabbage indicator. We found that many foods and substances we use are actually acids. We found some alkali's (bases) too. We are all really enjoying science this year and hope to achieve the Award of Science Excellence for the school.
On Wednesday 19th of October we started learning about bones in Science. We made a display for our classroom.

Spoilers: The film is discussed at length.
Frank Borzage's 1930 adaptation of the Hungarian play Liliom is less notable than two other adaptations of the same material. The 1934 adaptation of Liliom was directed by Fritz Lang, one of the great German Expressionism directors who is more well known than Borzage. Liliom would later ba adapted into the stage musical Carousel by Rodgers and Hammerstein, which would be adapted into a feature film in 1956.
Borzage's adaptation is a film with a seedy air. The titular Liliom (Charles Farrell) is a barker at a carousel in Budapest, attracting crowds, particularly of the female variety. He gets a bit hansy with these women as his devil-may-care attitude fascinates the women. Julie (Rose Hobart), a upstanding young lady who works at the brewery, becomes infatuated with him. They eventually become tangled in a relationship where Liliom uses and abuses the longsuffering Julie.
Initially, their interaction is rough. The lines feel as if they are spoken past each other and some musings come across as too naked for a pair that has just met. And yet, as the film progresses, the pair continue to see each other without full clarity. Liliom is blinded by his inadequacy as a man which he tries to cover with violence and Julie is so blinded by her love that she does not see the danger of their relationship.
It's a story of characters that would probably be condemned for marginalizing women or romanticizing toxic masculinity for depicting such power dynamics without pouring out its entire wrath and judgement on the characters. The original play ended with a much more biting and cynical conclusion than the film. Borzage dreams bigger.
For those who have seen films like Lucky Star, 7th Heaven and Three Comrades, it's clear that Borzage is interested in telling stories about love. Here is a couple that the world sees as an abusive man and a naive fool. It should be a love story of tragedy, and in many ways it is. Borzage doesn't romanticize their romance, he bluntly shows how Julie is better off without Liliom, but instead explores how love transcends their conflict.
The third act tells a story that goes beyond life on earth and looks to the eternal. Liliom's story does not end where he thinks it will, he has to face judgement, he has to be faced with what he does and what he becomes. He is given another chance, a moment to show the love and compassion he was shown in his life. And he fails.
Given the chance, he resorts back to his nature and is unable to control the rage and anger inside of him. It's shown to him how Julie's life without him is much better than it was when he was there. In spite of all this, in an amazing, cosmic twist, he is redeemed through the steadfast and unwavering love of Julie. His own love fails but the love of another redeems him.
Is love more powerful than the cycles of violence and abuse? Can its power overcome the continual physical and mental trauma inflicted upon it? Can abusive people be loved? Liliom dares to say yes. It's also wise enough to show that abused people are better off out of the clutches of their abusers, but that the love for the unlovable is the highest form of love, a love so powerful it can upturn the heavens.

How to increase energy levels
The best vitamins for energy
Making sure that you are eating a varied, balanced and healthy diet should give your body all the vitamins it needs to function properly and keep you feeling good. However, there are vitamins that can top up your energy levels when you need them most.
- Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin that allows the body to use and store energy gathered from protein and carbohydrates in the food you eat. Vitamin B6 can be found in poultry, bread, eggs, soya beans, milk and potatoes.
- Vitamin B12 helps to release the energy gathered from your food. B12 can also be found in meat, salmon, cheese and eggs.
- Centrum vitamins are specially formulated to provide essential supplements that support your body every day. Whether you're looking to increase your energy levels, feelings of vitality or to improve your bone strength, they have a multivitamin to suit your needs. Centrum has also formulated performance vitamins, designed to support active people who live an energised lifestyle, featuring ginseng an herbal supplement believed to boost energy levels.
If you do choose to take supplements and you are taking too many or taking them for too long it can be harmful to your health.
The best foods for energy
There are a wide array natural energy boosters that you can add into your diet to help you feel more energetic. Making sure that you are eating enough starchy carbohydrates to help you sustain your energy levels throughout the day. These include potatoes, bread, pasta and rice and should make up a third of what you eat.** Eating foods rich in iron can also stop you feeling tired or run-down, these include red meat, green vegetables and breakfast cereals fortified with iron. There is also evidence to suggest that beetroot can naturally boost energy levels for exercise performance***, so it would be a great addition to a smoothie, juice, salad or as a pre-workout snack.
The best drinks for energy
Energy drinks – Easy to grab while you're on the go, energy drinks typically contain between 40 and 250mg of caffeine per 235ml*. Many drinks also contain taurine (an amino acid) and vitamins to help boost your energy levels. Having an energy drink before a work out (pre-workout), may help you to exercise for longer as you won't feel tired as quickly as you normally would.
Fizzy energy drinks are not a healthy option, as many contain large amounts of sugar. There are a range of natural energy drinks on the market that claim to give you that much needed boost, that use ingredients such matcha green tea, that is naturally high in caffeine.
The best energy supplements
Energy gel – Favoured by runners and cyclists, especially those embarking on long-distances challenges, energy gels contain large amount of carbohydrates that your body needs to convert into energy. Because they come in a small packet, energy gels are a lighter and less bulky option for marathon runners and triathletes, compared to chocolate bar or dried fruit.
Caffeine tablets – Brands like pro plus, offer tablets containing the stimulant caffeine that can help you to feel more awake and less tired. These energy releasing tablets will only temporally relieve tiredness, and in doing so they can help you to get more out of your workout.
Glucose tablets – These tablets boost your energy with their fast-releasing glucose or dextrose that helps to raise low blood sugar fast. Glucose, used in many tablets, is a sugar that comes from the carbohydrates in our diets, whereas dextrose, also used in tablets, is a form of glucose that is derived from natural sources including starchy plants.
Glucose tablets are especially useful for diabetic who think they might be having a hypoglycaemic attack, find out more about what a hypo is here.
Please bear in mind that energy supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Energy boosting foods, drinks and tablets for exercise
Sports drinks, tablets and foods can give you that much needed energy boost when you're doing high-level endurance sports or intense workouts. Bursting with caffeine and essential vitamins, energy supplements can increase your energy and improve your performance during exercise. Please bear in mind that these products have been designed to be used alongside high impact activity and the caffeine content can be harmful to your health if taken in large quantities. With plenty of options available it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you and the activity you are taking part in, such as a marathon or an intense weight lifting circuit.
Can I drink energy drinks if I'm pregnant?
If you are pregnant you should limit your caffeine intake to 200mg a day*. One can of energy drink is typically 80mg, however larger cans could contain up to 160mg. Having large amounts of caffeine when you're pregnant can cause miscarriage, as well as your baby having a low birth weight.
How can I get instant energy?
If you're feeling tired, one of the best things you can do is take a quick power nap of 20-30 minutes. This can help to improve your mood and levels of concentration, giving you the energy you need to carry on with your day. If you need a quick burst of energy your blood sugar might be a bit low, grabbing a snack could give you a little boost, remember to reach for fruit or other healthy alternatives rather than sweets or sugary drinks.
What can I drink instead of energy drinks?
If you need a boost of energy but don't like the idea of energy drinks then there are plenty of other options to keep you hydrated. The best thing you can give your body is water, the government recommends 6 to 8 glasses a day. But if you find it boring you can add fruit or sugar free squash to liven things up. Tea and coffee are sources of caffeine and a cup of these will give you a quick boost of energy, although drinking these in the afternoon may stop you from sleeping later on.

Introduction: Fun Python 3 Guessing Game
Hey everyone!
Since my last Python 3 Instuctable did really well and got featured, I thought I would show everyone how to code a fun guessing game in Python! This is my own modified version of a guessing game by Hywel Carver in the book 'Coding Unlocked'.
The program generates a random number and asks you for a number. If the number you choose is lower than the target number, the program will tell you to go a bit higher and ask you to choose again, and vice versa.
When your guess is correct, the program congratulates you and asks if you want to play again.
This program is more fun than my other one (which was intended for educational use anyway). You'll probably want to keep playing this game if you like guessing games.
Let's get right into it!
Step 1: Installing Python
I am not going to explain how to download Python here, as I have already in another Instructable. If you do not have Python already installed, go here and look for the 'Installing Python' step: https://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Remainder-Calculator-in-Python-3
You should also read how to open a file for editing.
Step 2: Importing
This is simple. Type in 'import random' at the top of the file. There is no indentation.
Step 3: Creating a Funtion
On the next line, type:
def guessinggame():
There is no indentation.
Step 4: Programming the Function
Type these on the next lines (remember 4 spaces at the start):
target = random.randint
running = True
Step 5: Looping
This part will loop and ask the user for a number:
while running:
guess = int(input("Guess an integer between 0 and 100: "))
The first line has 4 spaces at the start, and the second line has 8.
Step 6: Conditions Part 1
This code will decide if you have guessed the correct number. I'm going to do this in a big chunk:
if guess == target:
running = False
again = input("Correct! Play again? (y/n) ")
if again == "y" or "Y":
if again == "n" or "N":
print("Okay. See you next time!")
The first line has 8 spaces at the start.
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th line have 12 spaces.
The 5th, 7th and 8th line have 16 spaces at the start.
Step 7: Conditions Part 2
This code will tell the user if he needs to go higher:
if guess < target:
The first line has 8 spaces at the start and the second line has 12.
Step 8: Conditions Part 3
The last part of conditions. This code tests if the user needs to go lower:
if guess > target:
The 1st line has 8 spaces at the start of the line and the 2nd has 12.
Step 9: Error Handling (optional)
This code is pretty much the same as the remainder calculator's:
print("Hey, that's not a number!")
There are no spaces before try and except. There are four spaces before the 2nd, 4th and 5th lines.
Step 10: }{}{ If You Skipped the Last Step }{}{
All you need to do is type this on a new line:
Step 11: Conclusion
Run the program.
You should be prompted to guess a number. Type in a number and press enter. If you get it wrong, the program will tell you if you need to type in a higher number or a lower number. If you get it right, you can choose to play again or exit. If there are any errors, please leave a comment or email me at email@example.com. Also leave a comment or email if you have an idea you want me to do.
NB: There may be a difference in the code between the pictures and the text for the Instructable Any way should work fine.

Visible is an ethical clothing company that believes in total visibility and makes what is behind the clothes visible – not the nudity, but the people, the costs and the social impact - so that you can know that everyone is being treated fairly.
We produce quality, affordable, fashionable, ethical clothes at The Visible Factory; our very own Fairtrade certified factory in Dharamsala, India, where we also make clothes for our other in-house brand Eternal Creation.
Our vision is to see a clothing sector where everyone is treated fairly.
"Visible.Clothing launched on 21st May 2014 following a successful crowd funding campaign when some amazing people pledged their support and belief in what we hope to achieve.
Until the Rana Plaza factory disaster we paid, at best, lip-service to trying to be ethical in our choice of clothes. We knew that sweatshops existed but chose to remain largely ignorant. We decided this needed to change; we needed to align our buying choices with our values.
At the end of 2013, we both decided to go through our wardrobes and gave away all our clothes apart from those that we knew had been made by people who were treated fairly. We were left with nothing. So we built new wardrobes from scratch with clothes that we knew were made fairly (check out our journey on www.whomademywardrobe.com).
Our goal with Visible is to help everyone who has considered buying fairly made clothes to be able to do so at an affordable price.
We believe that without complete visibility it is difficult for you - the customer - to decide whether or not the clothing sector is being responsible at each stage of the production process. It's too easy for us all to ignore the rights of the individuals who made our clothes because we don't know who they are.
Our desire is to bring a variety of clothing products to market so that people can fill their wardrobes with clothes that they know have been made fairly.
Please join us on this journey and feel free to contact us directly with any feedback or questions. Thank you for your support!"
