I was looking forward to a less-crowded surf session, at the Jetty on a Saturday at dawn. Sadly, there were already a couple of guys in the water when I arrived, and the number of surfers swelled to six, then nine, then more than a dozen, as the sun rose higher. Since my 4/3 Hotline was still wet from surfing yesterday afternoon and the Rip Curl wetsuit is out for repairs until the middle of the month, I took my 5/4 Hotline, along with 3 mil gloves and 5 mil booties, figuring it would be cold anyway in the early morning. To my surprise, it was a downright balmy 61 degrees at the beach. In February, go figure!
After about 20 minutes I still hadn't caught any waves, which were shifty, mixed up, often closed out, and ranging from waist- to shoulder-high. A steady breeze blowing offshore textured the surface. The clot of surfers was on the best-shaped main peak close to the Jetty, so I was on the next one down in front of the drainpipes, trying for the left. Deciding I was too far out, I paddled closer to shore, only to see a wave about to break right behind me, or so I figured. What the hell, I thought, I want to ride something already, so I paddled for it, only to find I'd misjudged; the lip crashed down on my head, slamming my chin hard into my board. When I surfaced and sat up, I was surprised to see the water turning red in front of me; I touched my chin and the glove came away bloody. Crap. It was a lot of blood, more than when I'd hard snogged my board numerous times before. I called to a surfer paddling by to ask how bad it looked, but he didn't hear me. I think I've read that facial cuts always bleed a lot, even when they're not that bad. I couldn't go in, not having ridden one wave! Just then, a promising wall formed up behind me, and I rode the wave in close to the beach. The blood was still dripping. Should I go? If only I had a mirror... but wait, I have a camera on my wrist. I took a few pictures of my face, but couldn't make out enough detail on the teeny LCD screen. (No, you don't need to see it.) Well, if it doesn't stop bleeding soon, I'll go in, I thought as I paddled back out for another.
The bleeding stopped shortly after, and aside from a little ache, I forgot about my chin while riding a few more waves with fun little drops and short shoulders. But I had a tennis lesson to make, so I couldn't linger, and back at the car I took a look at my chin in the side mirror. The still-oozing cut wasn't long but it was wide and offered an uncomfortably deep view into my body. Stitches seemed likely. Crap, crap, crap! I googled for the nearest urgent care, which was just up the road in Moss Beach, and drove myself there as soon as I'd struggled out of all that thick neoprene. The wait was mercifully short, and the nurse speculated that the cut was clean enough that glue might close it up instead of stitches. Although I've previously self-medicated lip wounds with the drugstore equivalent of Super Glue, I didn't realize an official version could be used for a more substantial laceration. But sure enough, after the nurse cleaned the wound with saline more pure than the ocean it had been dunked in, the doctor had me tilt my head back while he brushed stinging Dermabond into the cut and pushed the edges tight. He told me I probably should stay out of the ocean, but then specifically cautioned about prolonged submersion until the glue drops off in about 4 days.
I think I can manage to keep my chin out of the water most of the time while I surf. But I'll wait until tomorrow.
Surfline: WNW (270-295) groundswell fades with smaller surf on tap this morning. Small-scale SSW (180-190) energy mixes in as well. Shoulder-overhead+ waves are still common, while top exposures go several feet overhead on the best sets. Light NE wind early, although many spots (especially the S facing areas) see some minor bump/crumble to the surface. A late-morning 5'+ high tide slows things down as we move through the day. Buoy 46012: (Wave) SWELL: 8.9 ft at 13.8 s WNW 10 / WIND WAVE: 2.3 ft at 5.0 s NW / WVHT: 9.2 ft / APD: 8.1 s / MWD: 298° (Met) WSPD: 10 kts / GST: 14 kts / WVHT: 9.2 ft / DPD: 14.0 s / WDIR: 320° / ATMP: 53.2° F / WTMP: 52.7° F.

| 13.1°C Dublin
UPC has lost 36,000 television subscribers in Ireland, as its TV business fell by 9pc in the last 12 months. The company blames "increased competition" for its "underperformance".
In its latest set of company accounts, the company said that its overall Irish TV subscriber base fell from 422,700 to 386,500 over the last year.
It also said that its overall Irish customer base fell from 530,600 to 511,800 over the same time period.
However, its Irish broadband business grew by 17,500, or 5pc, from 348,300 to 365,800 subscriptions in the last 12 months. Its telephone business also grew by 36,600 in the same period.
UPC's biggest television rival, Sky, is understood to have over 700,000 television customers in the Irish market. The satellite operator has added over 30,000 broadband subscribers in the last year and now has just under 100,000 internet customers here.
UPC is set to launch a new Irish mobile operator service in the second half of this year. The mobile service is expected to combine with the operator's broadband, television and home telephone services to form a 'quad play' package.
UPC could face substantial competition in the broadband market over the next 12 months with new fibre services from Vodafone and Eircom set to launch in some parts of the country.
UPC declined to give specific financial details about its Irish business. However, the operator's overall revenue for Ireland and the UK fell by 7.4pc (€121m) from €1.65bn to €1.52bn over the last 12 months. Operating cash flow for the two countries combined fell by 3.6pc (€25.2m) from €706m to €680m. However, the operator's average revenue per user across Ireland and the UK increased by 1.2pc to €66.86 per month.
Despite the challenging financial results, UPC Ireland executives remain upbeat.
"UPC has had a positive start to the year and is continually making strong progress," said UPC chief financial officer, Carol Grennan.
"During the quarter, we launched Ireland's fastest residential broadband service at 240Mbps. We are seeing solid results from the recent acquisition of Bitbuzz including our launch of Bitbuzz Go which offers free and unlimited WiFi to the hospitality sector. In addition, our business division has expanded its service offering to include a pan-European data connectivity to a further 15 country destinations across Europe."

"We have been delighted with the performance of our new SAVORTEX Hand Dryers over the last few months. They are subjected to periods of intense use on a daily basis, and they dry hands much faster than the traditional dryers they replaced, yet they use much less electricity. Using less electricity means we are not only saving money, but also helping to reduce our carbon footprint. Who said you couldn't have your cake and eat it?
"We hope eventually to replace all our traditional dryers with SAVORTEX Hand Dryers. May we congratulate you on creating an excellent product, which we hope generates the success it deserves."

At the Economic and Political Overview conference hosted by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) on Friday (22 February), Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Opposition Leader Michael Daley gave their respective verdicts on the performance of the current government and outlined their key policy and spending targets for the next four years should they win office.
Here is what each is offering voters in the lead-up to the poll on Saturday, 23 March 2019:
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian (Liberal)
The daughter of Armenian immigrants, Ms Berejiklian said that her government had taken the NSW economy from the last to first during its time in office.
She said that the Liberal government, which came to power in 2011 under Barry O'Farrell before Mike Baird and then Ms Berejiklian subsequently took the helm, inherited a budget in which expenses growth (at 7 per cent per annum) was growing faster than revenue growth.
The premier said this "inefficiency" meant that citizens were paying too much for publicly owned services, money which she said had been returned to citizens by embracing technology to deliver lower CTP premiums, as well as among the lowest energy and water prices for households of any Australian state.
Ms Berejiklian, who at one point during her presentation was interrupted by a lone climate change protester, outlined her government's priorities for another term as:
Fully funding super entitlements
The state will be fully funding its superannuation liabilities by 2030, which the premier described as "a massive achievement".
Maintaining 'record low' unemployment
She said that NSW has the lowest unemployment rate of anywhere in Australia at present, at "a record low" of 3.9 per cent, with most full-time jobs taken up by women, while youth unemployment is the lowest it has been in 40 years.
Infrastructure funding
Ms Berejiklian took a dig at the state's southern neighbour, stating: "We're spending about twice on infrastructure what Victoria is, but we're not borrowing to fund it — we're using surplus".
Increased spending on schools
The government has plans for a major boost in schools capital expenditure, which the premier said is separate from spending on skills and training.
Major transport infrastructure projects
Ms Berejiklian said that the government is currently working on, or nearing completion on, five metro rail projects, three light rail lines, seven new motorways and a new airport city at Badgerys Creek, following the start of works for Sydney's second international airport in 2018, with a commitment to deliver 36,000 extra weekly public transport services over the next four years.
She also made a push for fast rail services to be scoped in NSW and interstate, stating that fast rail needs to start now if it's going to happen in the next 20 years. The government has assigned a UK expert to provide initial scope and feasibility for the project.
More front-line public servants
The government is promising an increase to a number of key public sector personnel: 5,000 additional nurses, 4,000 extra teachers and 1,500 extra police officers.
Roll-out of Service NSW centres
More Service NSW centres are planned across the state, which the premier said have consolidated more than 800 different government transactions to one centre and its online portal. She also announced the launch of mobile Service NSW centres to better reach rural and regional areas of the state.
Cutting cost of living
Ms Berejiklian said that the government has achieved cuts worth hundreds of dollars to household bills, directly such as through lower CTP bills for road users through the digital system, as well as through government-backed price saving services including Energy Switch and Fuel Check apps.
'Aerotropolis' and three cities plan
This refers to the development of a new CBD region around the new airport at Badgery's Creek, which will complement the existing major "cities" plan covering Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.
Ms Berejiklian said that the government has already secured 10 foundational business partners, has plans for a new metro line due for completion to coincide with the airport's 2026 opening, and the launch of a new multi-university learning campus.
Introduction of a tree canopy measure
A policy designed to increase the amount of tree cover in the state's cities and towns, both from a beautification perspective but aimed at reducing energy consumption by lowering community temperatures by several degrees with natural tree coverage.
Overhauling state/federal relations
According to Ms Berejiklian, NSW currently has 43 separate agreements in place with the federal government, which should be streamlined to deliver better outcomes and efficiency. She said that the Federation Act was devised at a time when each of the former colonies had a similar population, but that is no longer the case, with NSW not by far the most populous state in Australia.
She said that while appreciating the larger states will always need to subsidise the smaller ones, subsidising inefficiencies is unfair for NSW citizens, and so a new approach that encourages all state governments to deliver efficiencies would reduce the cost burden on NSW.
Promoting regional growth
The premier said that jobs growth is occurring in regional areas, even despite the crippling drought. She identified significant opportunities are in connectivity and water security, citing the soon-to-be-switched-on water pipeline to Broken Hill as one such example.
"If you express confidence in a community by building a new piece of infrastructure, the business community will follow," she said.
Boosting international engagement
MS Berejiklian said that the government plans to leverage Sydney's second airport to increase connectivity throughout Asia, with more direct flights to major and even new destinations opening up new export opportunities for businesses.
NSW Opposition Leader Michael Daley (Labor)
The former customs officer and councillor turned politician, who has held many portfolios in opposition and ministries in the previous Labor government, commenced his pitch to the state's business community with a bold pledge.
"What you want from government, as businesspeople, is fairness and certainty," he said.
Citing the controversial light rail project in Sydney's CBD, which has been hit by major delays, cost blow-outs and criticism from local businesses impacted by the construction works, Mr Daley said that government funds should be treated like having control of a trust fund for an orphaned child, with careful scrutiny and minimal wastage to provide certainty and security, in both the short and long term.
"[But] it started as a $1.6 billion project, now it's — who knows — $3 [billion]?" he said of the current situation facing the project, and suggested that the risk of the project had been shifted to the private sector rather than being adequately addressed up front.
Mr Daley listed his party's major policy points as the following:
Independent planning reviews
Major project and developments will be subject to independent review, in order to give businesses, other stakeholders and the wider community opportunity to provide input on design and planning.
He hit out against spot rezoning under the state planning laws that can overrule local council Local Environmental Plans (LEPs).
Western Sydney metro
According to Mr Daley, the western Sydney metro is ranked as the top infrastructure priority by Infrastructure Australia to reduce transport and traffic congestion in the region.
He renewed Labor's previous commitment of $8 billion in funding towards the $16 billion project, including a promise by federal Labor to contribute $3 billion in funds.
Rail upgrades
Citing unairconditioned trains and a shutdown of Sydney's rail network during heavy rain, as happened on New Year's Eve this year, "ageing" infrastructure and signalling across the state's rail network would receive an unspecified amount of additional funding.
Local road improvements
Shift focus away from "big, flashy toll roads" and instead devote more attention to improving and upgrading local roads.
Education and training spending boost
According to Mr Daley, the NSW TAFE system has 5,700 fewer teachers and support staff than eight years ago, and the number of student enrolments has also fallen.
He pledged at least 600,000 fully funded TAFE courses over the next decade, concentrated in areas battling chronic skills shortages including trades and child care.
For public schools, he committed $800 million in spending to provide airconditioning to all public classrooms statewide, which he said would be largely funded by abandoning the government's planned stadium upgrades.
Mandated provision of nurses
In what he said was the first time in NSW history that such a measure would be implemented, Mr Daley said that he would mandate minimum nurse-to-patient ratios in all public hospitals.
Renewable energy
Labor recently unveiled plans to incentivise 500,000 households to install renewable energy in a bid to also stimulate private sector investment in renewables. The opposition also plans to create a new state-owned corporation to lead the way on energy storage.
No public sector lay-offs
According to Mr Daley, the previous Labor government has a budget surplus for 15 of its 16 years in office, and did so without sacking public sector workers. But he suggested the current government has sacked 30,000 "mum and dad" employees across all facets of public service.
No privatisation of assets
"We will not privatise any further assets," Mr Daley said emphatically.
"There will be no more privatisations under Labor."
He said that $70 billion worth of income-generating assets have already been sold by the incumbent government, and that to continue, Sydney Water and local buses would have to become the focus.
Taxing the gig economy
Stating that the gig economy arrived whether we liked it or not, he suggested the law is lagging here and that many companies, particularly food delivery companies, should pay more tax here in Australia.
Mr Daley said that he would like these "San Francisco-based" companies to expatriate less profit to provide more protections for local workers.
Engage federal government over population growth
According to Mr Daley, the bulk of Australia's migrant intake move to Sydney or Melbourne, placing a disproportionate burden on the services of both cities and states, but the major beneficiary is the federal government through tax collection.
As such, he wants to push for larger infrastructure investments into Sydney (and by extension Melbourne) to cater for these growing populations.

Surveys show that about 30 million people have undergone refractive eye surgery and there are still about many who are contemplating the fact whether or not they should dive into it. Today, individuals opt for bladeless lasik or lasik eye surgery in order to get rid of the dependency they have for the glasses or even contact lenses as it hinders their freedom. Lasers in the present day scenario are used to reshape the cornea of the eye and disorders or eye problems such as hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism.
As far as the surgery part goes, it is one of the safest medical processes relating to eyes and the technology regarding the same has only increased without any further complications. Disorders relating to eyes can affect not just your daily chores but the quality of your life and sight are equally affected. However, if you plan to undergo Lasik surgery, then make sure about what you are getting into as there have been instances where the surgery or Lasik eye treatment has undergone difficulties and the surgery could not be successful. Choose only the best and don't get influenced by what others say.
Bladeless Lasik is one such eye treatment that has been the preferred Lasik surgery patients opt for as it requires minimum time and optimal results are delivered within no time and energy. The patient does not require staying at the hospital for a night or even for the whole day. The surgery takes less than an hour and the results are phenomenal. The risk of complications, is minimized as the microkeratome or the blade is not used which reduces the complications multi-fold times. Human error is further reduced by the use of another laser technique named IntraLase.
MMEyeTech Institute is one of the most sought after Eye Hospitals in Delhi. With its top of the line eye surgeons, it surely is on the recommendation list of all who have undergone any kind of eye surgery over here. Eye specialist in Delhi recommends this institute because of their hospitality and services which are class apart and they take care of their patients brilliantly.

CRT-128 Safety of Rotational Atherectomy in High Risk PCI with Hemodynamic Support

Rotational atherectomy (RA) can aid in high risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with hemodynamic support. There is concern that use of RA could result in increased procedural complications. We report our institution's experience with RA in high risk PCI with hemodynamic support.
398 patients underwent high risk PCI with intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) (n=327), Impella (n=57), or Tandem Heart (n=14) between 2008 and July 2014. Patients with ST elevated myocardial infarction were excluded (n=129). Patients who underwent RA (n=34) were compared to those who did not (n=235). Among the 34 patients who underwent RA, Impella use (n=10) versus IABP use (n=23) was compared.
Patients in the RA arm were older (71.91±14.47 vs. 64.77±12.63, p=0.003) and less likely in cardiogenic shock (6% vs. 23%, p=0.02). There was no difference in the number of diseased vessels (RA= 2.86±0.88 vs. no RA =2.68±0.99, p=NS), location of vessels, or number of total occlusions (RA = 32% vs. no RA =32%, p=NS). PCI without stent deployment was less common in the RA arm (15% vs. 37%, p=0.01). There was no difference in stent diameter or length. There was a trend toward more Impella use, but this was not statistically different (RA = 29% vs. no RA =18%, p=NS). There was no difference in morbidity, hospital mortality, recurrent MI, or repeat revascularization. Within the rotational atherectomy group, there was no difference in outcome between IABP or Impella 2.5.
In our center's experience, use of rotational atherectomy in high risk PCI with hemodynamic support is feasible and not associated with increased morbidity or mortality.

Landon walks in to find his now ex-girlfriend, Addison, sucking his best friend Kevin's dick. Landon is pissed but he wants her back and is willing to do anything Addison says. Addison will consider taking Landon back but not before she gets her fill of both guys in bed. Once the action starts to heat up, she easily convinces the guys to take it a little further...and a little further with each other. With a little coercion she has them sucking cock, eating ass, and even manages to talk Landon into getting fucked by Kevin! Getting fucked feels so good that Landon blows his load with Kevin still inside him. It's Kevin's turn next and he launches a HUGE load which all three swap in cummy kisses. A sticky mess, Kevin leaves to grab a shower and it's revealed Landon and Addison were in on the three-way all along! It was a trick to get Kevin to fuck Landon and he bought it hook, line and sinker!

Spreading the Word: Open Access Digital Scholarship in the 21st Century | Center for Digital Humanities and Culture
firstname.lastname@example.com 2015-11-01
"The manner in which students and scholars produce and consume research has undergone a shift in recent decades. Expanded research territories, rich avenues for collaboration, and new paths for sharing knowledge abound. At the same time, questions remain for many about this new landscape, such as: What is the status of open access journals? What are the most professional ways for authors to leverage their rights to share research? What roles are available for libraries, university centers, departments, professional organizations, or individual scholars in promoting open access? How can the scholarly community navigate this landscape to accomplish our individual and collective goals? Join us for a presentation by Josh Bolick (Scholarly Communications Librarian, Watson Library, University of Kansas) to learn more about institutional repositories, open access journals, and the present and future of digital scholarship. Mr. Bolick will introduce these topics from his experience as a scholarly communications librarian, address specific opportunities available to the IUP community, and respond to audience questions."

Just one year after Uber was launched, it had experienced so much growth that it was hiring one new driver for every seven rides – without needing to spend anything on marketing.
Social media leader, Instagram, enjoyed 25,000 signups on its launch date. File-sharing site, Dropbox, went from 5,000 to more than 75,000 signups for its waitlist after it successfully launched a beta video.
These are three examples of companies who nailed product market fit from day one. There was pent up demand for their product before it was even launched. Achieving a product-market fit is one of the most crucial goals that a startup needs to achieve in order to scale – but it is also the least understood concept.
According to an analysis of 3,200 companies published by the Startup Genome Report, "90% of startups fail due to premature scaling." The report added, "70% of startups scaled before they were ready and, the founders substantially underestimated the length to confirm their market."
What is product-market fit?
Product-market fit is the point where brands have identified and validated the demand for their product or service with their target buyers and have validated the use case for their products or services. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz, coined this term in 2007 is quoted as saying "Product/Market Fit means being in a good market with a product that can satisfy that market."
Product-market fit helps startups to assess the viability of their product or service being able to sustain it's self and helps businesses evaluate how well their product or service will meet the needs of the market.
The Lean Product Playbook author, Dan Olsen, further defined product-market fit as, "When a brand's product meets real customer needs and does so in a way that is better than other alternatives."
Why is product market fit so important?
Product-market fit helps a brand understand how it can drive rapid and sustainable growth. Retention is an excellent indicator that a brand has a product-market fit. If a brand is able to retain its early-adopter customers, it has likely found a positive product-market-fit. Real-engagement metrics from retained customers will tell brands how their customers use their product or service and how the product or service can be optimised to better meet customer's needs.
Identifying product-market fit
To identify product-market fit, brands need to do in-depth market research by talking to potential customers. Some of the distinct phases in searching for a good product-market fit include:
- Build a comprehensive understanding of the market landscape and fully understand the pain points that the target customers face – which the product or service aims to solve.
- Study the different industries, customer segments and use cases for the product or service – and validate the demand wherever possible with customer surveys, interviews and usability studies.
- Bring the product to market to validate these hypotheses. During the initial phase, a company will need to experiment and optimise it's offering for a variety of target clients, cases, messaging and price points. This will help the brand to establish a robust market strategy which enables it to scale.
- Acquire the initial customers and develop insights about how the business can scale by modelling out marketing econometrics and conversion funnel metrics.
- Collect data on user behaviour such as the level of product engagement, utilisation rates, and customer churn.
- Use marketing and business performance data to build out solid processes which are repeatable and scalable in a larger market. This includes optimising the hiring process, training, customer onboarding and sales-to-operations handoff.
- Confirming the brand's ability to scale, is profitable and optimising the product to maximise customer retention.
When businesses do not achieve product-market fit
When a brand is striving to solve problems that are not validated, it is highly likely that the business will not be sustainable and will eventually fail. According to startup expert and entrepreneur, Paul Graham, the most common mistake that startups make is trying to solve non-existent problems. When companies do not find a product-market fit they will likely encounter problems such as:
- Customers don't understand the value of their product or service
- Insufficient number of sales
- No repeat sales
- Long sales cycles
- No word of mouth advertising
- Difficulty attracting media attention
Understanding consumer insight
The first step in finding product-market fit is to develop a bank of robust customer and market insights. Developing insight should ideally be done by analysing existing market research, the competitive landscape, consulting with regulatory bodies, benchmarking the performance of similar businesses and, approximating the total size of the market among other things.
Insight from social networking platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can help businesses understand the need for a product, service or even sometimes surface insight on the problem that the business's product is trying to solve. Analysing social media insight can empower businesses to know the exact approach required to launch into the market.
There is a multitude of sources from which businesses can develop this insight including forums and review sites. When brands understand what their target customers expect and how consumers want the product to work, they can make key decisions which can provide better product-market fit.
Steps to achieving product market fit
Step 1: Initial product concept
A product-market fit pyramid is divided into two main levels. The first level is the market and the second is the product. In the pyramid, the second layer is the area where brands have the most control.
Define the value proposition – This refers to the value that a brand promises to deliver to consumers if they purchase their goods. It should ideally be presented in a single sentence – a single-minded customer proposition which summarises the benefits the customer will enjoy when buying the product or service.
Feature set – This is a collection of functionalities and features that a product's minimum viable product needs to have when it launches, in order to deliver what was promised in the value proposition. A minimum viable product can be developed and tested through prototypes. Prototypes can be demonstrated to customers who represent a brand's target audiences in order to understand how these prototypes can be tweaked and optimised to better meet customer needs.
UX design – The design of the product, the moment when a product or service comes alive.
Step 2: Validate the target customers and find a problem-solution fit
Moving from concept into the market, the business now needs to validate the product with prospective customers. This is broken down into four steps:
- Confirm your MVP (minimum viable product) – There are many ways to confirm the MVP such as social media monitoring, talking to customers, attending meetups or exchanging ideas with customers.
- Determine who your perfect customer is – By engaging with a variety of potential customers, the business can zone in on the exact customers that have the greatest desire for solving the problem that the business offers to fix with its product.
- Come to a problem-solution fit – Once identified, the business can tailor the MVP, design and functionality to best meet the needs of their perfect customer – and then launch it to the market.
- Pivot or Persevere – From the market feedback, the brand should consider whether it will persevere (if the strategy is working) or pivot (if there is no progress towards finding a product-market fit).
Step 3: Refine the value proposition with a repeatable and scalable sales process
Once brands have a clear view of their ideal customers – and have a core group of satisfied customers who will be happy to refer the brand to friends, the final step is to refine the proposition and build scale. Some of the things that a brand must prepare in this phase are:
- Success metrics – To help brands monitor their progress and stay on track, they should measure customer retention and customer acquisition cost (CAC).
- Customer feedback loop – The business should build customer feedback loops into the business from day one in order to understand customer issues and refine the product on a progressive basis.
- Focus and win in one market at a time – The business will want to scale fast but the danger here is losing focus. The simple rule of thumb is to choose one new market and to win. Win in that one new market first, before moving on to another new market. A new market could be a different type of customer, geography or vertical (use case).
Step 4: Product-market fit
When a brand has replicated its success across several markets and is experiencing consistently high demand and high customer retention rates, it is ready to scale substantially – and it has achieved product-market-fit.

text: The forecast is going to be a low of 22 degrees fahrenheit, with winds of 10-15 mph. BRRR! This is the first, and probably last, time I ever line up for something like this. I took this week off of work a few months ago thinking I had a console all locked up at EB, but given the circumstances, I'm forced to wait it out with the rest of you. It would be a waste to not have a console to play with! I know some of you sat through the rain and cold for other launches, so tell me what you put up with.

Spring Ahead: Queen Creek Football Returns to Practice, Preps for Move to 6A
2 years ago Andrew Luberda 0
Queen Creek football seniors ended their high school careers last November following a 34 – 31 overtime loss to eventual state runner-up Notre Dame Prep in the quarterfinals of the 5A state playoffs. The remaining JV and varsity players returned for spring practice earlier this month to begin preparing for the 2018 season.
"It's always great to be with the kids," Queen Creek head coach Travis Schureman told CountyLinePreps.com during a recent practice. "(We get that) break and start itching to get out here to see what we have.
"It's been good this first week to see the kids out here competing and doing things the right way."

Senior-to-be quarterback Devin Larsen, who currently holds an offer from the University of Idaho, enters his final season as a three-year varsity starter. He is one of four Bulldogs who will be third-year varsity seniors in the fall, joining center Dakota Banning, running back Dylan Borja and lineman Isaak Clonts.
In his two previous seasons as the starter, the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Larsen combined for 4,875 passing yards, 55 touchdowns and only 12 picks. Additionally, he's completed 62 percent of his passes.
Larsen spent time in the offseason traveling across the country visiting camps to improve his game. He also took unofficial visits to Maryland, Pitt, Syracuse and UNLV. He's using the spring practice season to improve even more.
"The main thing is watching what the defense does," the reigning 2017 San Tan Region Offensive Player of the Year said. "The coverages and the type of defensive linemen it has. Working on a lot of (that) this offseason is going to translate when we go up to 6A this year."
Had a great time at my visit to Maryland! Thanks to the Coaches for showing me around! Amazing facilities. Can't wait to go back Saturday to watch there scrimmage! pic.twitter.com/KaHTkbs5JG
— Devin Larsen (@devin_larsen12) March 29, 2018
Spring practice is the perfect time for every player to gauge the early results of the improvements and changes they made since they were last on the field.
"I definitely got more agile," said Banning, an All-Region 1st Team selection last season and arguably one of the top centers in the state entering the 2018 season. "I also put on some weight, got a little bigger, and I'm excited for next year to show people what I can do."
For coaches, the spring season represents an opportunity to reinforce some standards and introduce new material with the idea of hitting the ground running at summer camp, then again when fall practice starts.
"Looking to make sure we get better every day," Schureman answered when asked what he wants to see by the time spring practice ends. "Understanding the concepts – the things that we're implementing, the focuses that we have, and what we want to get better on – and if we can get better each day then good things will happen."
An example of what Schureman described is the installation of the Bulldogs new 4-3 defense, a switch from their previous base 3-4 front.
"We're more comfortable (but still) trying to get used to it," said 2019 linebacker Armando Orona. "We're trying new stuff to see if it works but so far it's doing good."
After eight consecutive playoff appearances, the Bulldogs expect a ninth in 2018.
The spring is the perfect time to start efforts to reach that goal.

This painting is watercolor on clayboard. I have done this scene previously as a sketch and as a small study. This isn't very large either - 8 X 10 on cradled textured clayboard. I took a picture of it at this angle so it would show the side of the "cradle". It is just a piece of flat "masonite" or hard-board with a textured coating, and is "boxed in" on the back. The advantage, to me, is that when the painting is finished, it's finished, ready to go. It doesn't need a mat, glass, or frame. AND it's fun to paint on.

This week, the Year 6 not attending the residential have had lots of fun and taken part in a range of different activities:
On Wednesday, we went to the Sovereign Centre to swim. The children all had a fabulous time and were complemented by a member of the public on their lovely manners and great behaviour. It was fabulous to see the children all practising and using the swimming they have learnt in their lessons to have fun with their friends.
Sports Leader Award day
On Thursday, the children took part in a special day to achieve a School Games Sports Leader certificate.
In groups, they had to design an activity, a poster for it and a scoring system. They were given the opportunity to test these out on each other and then lead the activities for the Year 4 classes in the afternoon.
All the children worked really well together and had lots of fun.

Anti-gay Arizona pastor denied entry to South Africa
(RNS) Arizona pastor Steven Anderson has been barred from entering South Africa over hate speech concerns.
Anderson, pastor of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Ariz., was due to visit the country later this month for a series of evangelical events.
But Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba denied him and members of his church a visa.
"This is on the basis that I am certain they promote hate speech as well as advocate social violence," Gigaba told a news briefing.
The planned visit had stirred a heated controversy with gay rights, LGBT and human rights activists pressing the government to cancel the visit. The Evangelical Alliance and the Baptist Union of Southern Africa had distanced themselves from the pastor.
In 2014, Anderson called for the murder of every LGBT person as a solution to end HIV and AIDS. And earlier this year, after the shooting deaths of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., he said, "There's 50 less pedophiles in this world."
South Africa became the first country in Africa to legalize gay marriage, in 2006, but Gigaba said the country still has work toward reaching its constitutional value, to build a democratic, united, nonracial, nonsexist and prosperous state.
"It is a constitutional imperative for organs of state and society to protect and jealously defend the rights of all people," said Gigaba, while noting that LGBT people face daily attacks including ridicule, abuse, bullying, brutal abuses and rape.
Responding to the ban, Anderson said in a Facebook post that he felt sorry for the people of South Africa, but thanked God his team had a wide open door in Botswana.
"Stand by for reports of multitudes saved in Botswana, where religious freedom still exists," he said.

THE HOOPS OF FLATBUSH and DUTCH PANTS CAN'T JUMP
Battle of the Boroughs
Knicks win series 4-0
New York Knicks: Tweet This! Enes Kanter's Double-Double Buries Brooklyn.
That's a wrap.
The New York Knicks win this year's season series four games to none. It's their first sweep of the Nets in seven years. In fact, the games weren't even close. The Knicks won each contest by an average margin of 16-points.
Kristaps Porzingis led all players with 28-points Tuesday night at the Garden. He was 9/19 (47%) from the floor, and a perfect 4/4 from the line, but inflicted most of his damage from beyond the arch, connecting on six of nine attempts.
Enes Kanter, however, wins the coveted employee of the night award. Double-Zero scored 20-points and dominated the boards with 15 defensive rebounds and 20 overall, with all but five rebounds coming at the defensive end. It was his 21st double-double of the season in 48 games played. For the moment, he is averaging double-digit rebounds for only the second time in his career, and is also averaging a career high .607% from the floor (fourth best in the league).
Did I also mention he tied with a team-high five assists as well?
None of this bodes well for the disgruntled Joakim Noah - nor should it. Simply put, Kanter, the third overall pick of the 2011 draft, is winning the day.
Now, if only KP and Kanter had a point guard.
About that ...
In 20-minutes, Jarrett Jack had four assists and just two points off four attempts. Meanwhile, rookie Frank Ntilikina scored eight points with five assists in 26-minutes off the bench.
Brooklyn Nets: Wet Paint ... Do Not Touch.
At this point, why waste oxygen decrying the defense? It's an issue ... a huge issue ... one that Enes Kanter put on full display Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Nets are allowing an average of 108.8 points per game this season - seventh most in the league. However, they were particularly generous against their cross-river rivals, as the Knicks averaged 112-points in four games against the Nets.
For a team that doesn't necessarily have a problem scoring, per se, the Nets only averaged 97-points per game against the Knicks which is eight points shy of their 105 points per game average.
Jahlil Okafor's 25-minutes were his most since coming to the Nets. He accounted for 13 rebounds, but was only 2/7 from the floor with five points off the bench.

Microsoft's E3 Conference Was a Mixed Bag....
The title speaks for itself as there were things I liked and hated about this conference. I'll make this one easy on readers and separate what I liked from what I hated to give readers a clear understanding of my situation with this conference.
What I didn't like...
I'll start with things that I didn't like because dagnabbit, I wanna end this on a lighter note...
The first thing that bugged me about this conference? The Xbox One X, or "X.B.O.X," and no it's not the name that bugs me, it's the fact it seemed like the original Xbox One that debuted in 2013 wasn't selling enough units to keep getting supported. That's a dang shame though, because you'd think they'd find away to market the original Xbox One to get continued support. But I guess not, I suppose people are still burned by the Xbox One's 2013 launch.
Next thing I disliked was the Forza showcasing, as it was literally the SAME THING as it is every year. They show off the graphics, then a car on stage.
Then there was Assassin's Creed Origins, as it raised too many questions about the story's continuity. Like are Ezio and the others descendants of Egyptians, or is this the origins of the creed they're apart of? Also how do high sea pirates and the French Revolution fit into this? That and I feel many fans have been burned by the frequent yearly Assassin's Creed releases to have this do well on launch. I hope I'm wrong though.
Player Unknown's BattleGrounds seemed interesting despite being a battle royale MMO. That was until I saw the gameplay, and all of my hopes were crushed when they showed the "realistic character models," and fifty shades of brown color scheme. I'd kill for more color in these kinds of games, but we'l get into that later when I talk about the positives. Bottom line, I've lost interest in this game from the aesthetics.
Then there was the announcement of Minecraft being played in 4K resolution. To which if that's all we're getting with this new resolution, then I'll stick to regular MineCraft. Besides, I don't have a 4K T.V.
Life Is Strange getting a sequel, which is fine. I didn't care for the plot of the first game all that much, and a sequel seems superfluous given the ending. But if fans are excited for this, that's all that matters.
Then there was Tacoma which looked like Portal meets Bioshock with red and blue humanoid shapes. This ended up on the dislike portion of this article, because whereas I'm looking to play Portal and the Bioshock series when I get the chance, I need more info before I can see whether or not this game will interest me or not.
And lastly there was the unveiling that apparently Microsoft will be releasing all their original Xbox games from 2004 to the end of the 360's life span. If my assessment is correct, you mean to tell me that Sony and Nintendo have been reselling old titles from their previous consoles for at least six years and Microsoft only decided to do for their Xbox consoles NOW!?! That's some lousy business practice by Microsoft to be honest.
What I did like.About Microsoft E3 Conference
Metro Exodus' gameplay made me interested in wanting to play the previous Metro game, because this looked great. There was colorful environment, had steampunk looking elements, and weapon variety. Oh and did I mention the colorful environment?
State Of Decay 2... Yeah it's another zombie apocalypse game, but there's like this face eating, limb ripping Nemesis T-Type zombie that looks fun to kill. I hope there's more than one. There's also some exploration elements, but killing burly face eating zombies sold me on it.
Darwin Project was a cartoony looking third person combat, which looked nice. That and the vibrant colors make me relieved that such colorful cartoony games still exist. Yeah it's a competitive game, but still, I enjoyed the graphics.
Then there was Dragon Ball FighterZ. Okay, I'm a big DBZ fan, but when my dad told me that it put him in mind of BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, I got worried. Reason being every fighting game has a different feel in how characters play and the aesthetics of the games. Using the afore mentioned examples BlazBlue isn't button-masher friendly, as you have to master each character's combos and play style. Achieve that and then you can mash buttons like a mad man because you've mastered a set of combos with each character. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax despite being developed by the game developers as Blazblue is button masher friendly with there being a learning curve on signature moves of each character. Also both BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax have easy to perform super moves. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 has two control settings:Simple for casual players, and "Normal" for the more adept players. Simple is an easy to handle controller setting that allow for button mashing and simple button scheme to pull off a super move. Normal is a tougher control scheme where player have to learn the unique move-set and super moves that the player has to learn. So the question is how complicated or simple will FighterZ's control scheme be. Because in Ultimate Battle 22 to Budokai 3, the super-moves are complicated button combinations to pull off. While The Tenkaichi and Raging Blast games have easier move-sets and super moves to pull off.
Black Forest is a medieval style action JRPG, which I am a huge sucker for. It reminded me kind've or Tera and Black and Soul, which I really want to play. I'mma look more into this game, because I wanna learn more about it.
The Last Night is a neon colored neon colored side scroller adventure game. I love that it has a colorful futuristic aesthetic, and seems to be a side scroller. I'mma look more into this too, but have to scale back my expectations.
Artful Escape is a brightly colored side-scroller game with a paper aesthetic. Looked to also be a "create your own adventure game" like Little Big Planet and Minecraft, which I'm cool with. I need to see what exactly you can do in that game before I get too excited.
Super Lucky's Tale... Oh boy, this looked like a Conker game. Well the first Conker games anyway. And while I liked the cute and colorful aesthetic, the fact that Lucky looks like Conker was a bad design choice. It felt like a way to bait Conker fans into buying the game, but they want Conker, not a substitute.
Then there was Code Vein which is an action JRPG that looked like a cross between Prototype and MetalGear Rising Revengeance in terms of aesthetics. The action gameplay looked again to Revengeance as well, while also having a Demon Souls/Dark Souls vibe to it. If you've noticed why I never talked about the plots of any of these games, well the trailers don't give any hints of what the plots are, and it was the same with Code Vein was no different. However, sadly much like I took the stupid bait of going by how cool the game looked. I feel like such a sucker.
Then there was Ashens which looked like an RPG set in an dark underground area filled with monsters. It like Code Vein had a Dark Souls feel. Sadly, while I'm pretty sure the game doesn't place underground, the idea of it got my attention.
Speaking of Underground, there's Deep Galactic Rock which put me in mind of a FPS(First Person Shooter) version of Lego Rock Raiders, which sold me on it. BUT what we have are dwarves in a mine on an alien planet fighting monsters. Is it possible to pre-order this, because I REALLY wanna play it.
Then there was Sea Of Thieves, a First Person Pirate adventure. May not sound like much, I like the idea of swimming for treasure, having ship battles on the high seas, fighting off other pirates, and skeletons seems like fun to me.
There's also CupHead, which thank God is alive and well. Actually I'm overacting, as I heard it was on hiatus, not cancelled. But what we have is a 2D side-scrolling plat-former with an art and animation style reminiscent of a late 1920s cartoon. That aesthetic and art style sold me on CupHead when it was announced back in 2015, and to see that is was completed and will be coming out on September 29th(my birthday) has me giddy like a kid in the candy store. So yeah, I'm excited for this, and I hope it's good.
Then was CrackDown 3. What? I heard this game was cancelled, was that a rumor? Did I confuse it with the cancellation of ScaleBound? Regardless, I'm glad this game is being made and released. Neon colored futuristic setting for a third person shooter. Sadly what sold me on it was when Youtube The Completionist," described like "GTA V with superheroes." I'm a sucker for superheroes, so of course I was sold on CrackDown 3 even further.
Shadow Of War, the sequel to Shadow Of Mordor. I really need to play Mordor before getting this, but staying on point it takes place in the Lord Of The Rings Universe, which is enough for me. The gameplay looked nice, but I'm saying that as a sucker for swinging a weapon around and hitting stuff.
Ori and The Will Of The Wisp. You play as this cute glowing creature named "Ori," and explore a colorful forest with a variety of exotic animals. Much like the first game Ori And The Blind Forest. I decided to open with that because I'm so glad Ori And The Blind Forest got a sequel, because it was a beautiful, unique looking game. And it was a plat-former, which I thought was dead. I though plat-formers was a dead genre. But if these other games I talked about is any indication, I was wrong. And I'm so glad to be wrong. But yeah, I'm looking to get both Ori titles, because they look beautiful and fun.
And finally, we FINALLY got some gameplay footage for Anthem. Sorry, sorry, it's just I need to see gameplay because while cinematic trailers are interesting, I need an idea of what kind of game I'm going to be playing. And Anthem while looking like Destiny, puts players in the role of a mercenary with "Iron-Man-esque" armor trying to save the galaxy,, or universe, or some-such. And I'm sorry, but this sold me on it. The flight and swimming animation, and the co-op gameplay. Although even though it's not developed by Bungie, I'm stilled worried because Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda got flack for their glitches, shallow gameplay, and lacking content. Plus Destiny got flack for lacking content, so Anthem for all its hype my have that problem. So I'm hopeful, but apprehensive.
Oh and I forgot about the montage of indie-titles on XboxLive. Most of those games tend to reek of old-school fun.
In Conclusion...
Okay, so in looking back on what I wrote in terms of what I liked, I'd dare say that I found more to like than I disliked. Meaning that overall it's safe to conclude that I enjoyed this conference. Although admittedly I can argue that that Microsoft tried to ensure their audience:"Don't worry, we're still all about games." It might take me a while before I get over this cynical outlook over Microsoft's Xbox conferences. That's assuming they keep unveiling new material like they did this year.

Thanks for the wonderful moment! It's so easy when we are into ouselves and feeling "sorry" to forget the blessings we have. Yes ... this made me cry and it was wonderful to experience the emotion. Here is somene who has a real "problem" and he's living life and grateful for the ability to do that! God Bless Him! And God bless You for sharing this great information!
I don't think I am too different than many folks when I state that 2008 was a monumentally tough year. It was hard on me emotionally on both business and personal levels and most of my clients, friends and family members have expressed the same.
Having spent much time picking myself back up after repetitive knock downs, I can find myself losing the energy to get up. It is easy to get wrapped up in one's own personal crisis du jour and to forget that everyone has problems and many of them are far more impacting than your own.
This story is about a person who has a problem more significant than anything I can imagine, but he didn't stay down. He never gives up and in fact, he goes forth and tells everyone that they shouldn't allow themselves that failure either.
I have never met this man, in fact, until I was sent a link to his video by my manager at Park Square Realty, Westfield, MA I had never even heard of him: his name is Nick Vujicic, he is a 25 year old man who was born without limbs. His calling is to travel the world to inspire people to overcome challenges. His website, whether you are of religious mind or not, is more than inspiring.
This video was sent to me by my office manager. I watched it today several times in awe as this young man works to inspire others when it would have been so much easier to give up. He won't give up and he is showing me that I am not willing to, either. I hope you find some inspiration here, as well.

On this page, you will find information on NEC Prep's Absence Policy and how to report absences. We appreciate your cooperation in properly reporting absences.
Absence Policy
Guidelines for Participation in Preparatory School Ensembles & Classes
NEC supports students' participation in their school orchestras, district and all-state opportunities, and community music groups. However, the students and parents are responsible for planning accordingly to minimize the number of absences from NEC.
If a student must miss for school activities/sports or all-state orchestra, do not join elective activities that will require even infrequent Saturday participation
- Seniors, please note that frequent college visits scheduled to conflict with Saturday rehearsals will be problematic
- SATs are a direct, unavoidable conflict with the morning ensembles, but you must consider them an absence, and follow the procedure below.
- If a rehearsal is missed, it is the responsibility of the student to inquire about any material covered and to request and prepare any new music prior to the next rehearsal.
Absence Policy
Attendance is required at all regularly scheduled classes, rehearsals, dress rehearsals, and performances. Students are expected to be ready to begin on time. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each rehearsal and class.
Please note:
- Anyone arriving more than 30 minutes late or leaving 30 minutes early will be considered absent from the entire rehearsal or class.
- Absences from performances and dress rehearsals are not permitted. Failure to attend a concert is grounds for immediate dismissal from the ensemble and may affect future ensemble placement.
Procedure for Probation and Dismissal
Private Lessons
Students are expected to appear for regularly scheduled lessons. Teacher absences will be made up at mutually arranged times with the student. If the student and teacher agree that the number of registered lessons cannot be met, a refund may be requested before the end of the semester. Student absences for any reason do not qualify as refundable missed lessons. Teachers may make up these lessons at their discretion. Make-up lessons cannot be guaranteed if absence is incurred by the student.
Classes & Ensembles
Students may be placed on probation after three absences in a semester (concert period) at the discretion of the Music Director/Teacher and the Director of the Preparatory School. If placed on probation, the student's certificate eligibility, scholarship, and ensemble assignments will be reconsidered. In some cases, a student may be excluded from the concert.

The "Before" picture was taken on April 11th during the initial consultation on her first visit to John Francis Spa. Her in Spa treatment was "The Curative Facial" and I suggested the Medicalia Clarifying homecare system for grades 2-3 acne.
The "After" picture was taken 4 months later on August 23rd. Not only did all her acne clear up but her pore size and texture improved and the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots from acne) had all lightened and healed.

Paramorphic multicarrier communications for interference mitigation
Carrick, Matt
Reed, Jeffrey H.
Spooner, Chad M
MetadataShow full item record
Abstract This paper presents a novel method for enabling communication in cyclostationary interference limited environments by adaptively inserting and exploiting spectral redundancy in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal. The redundancy is formed through repeating data symbols across OFDM symbols in both time and frequency. A novel frequency shift (FRESH) filter is applied to exploit the time-varying cyclostationary properties, enabling the communication while under interference. The ability to design an interference mitigating property into the communication signal creates a new degree of freedom when optimizing and adapting a waveform's parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the performance gains in both signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and bit error rate (BER) as compared to traditional time-invariant optimal filtering techniques and error correcting codes (ECC).


text: So....If you know me, by no means am I the most up to date carbon-loving bicycle mechanic. But...BUT, Randy from Shimano stopped by and brought in the new DI2 hydraullic road stuff and it is AMAZING. This stuff is as easy to bleed as shimano's mountain stuff and has an amazing feel to it. More and more I am leaning to one or two component companies and away from a third. The frame is also an amazing piece of work from Milwaukee Cycle which Waterford builds the frame. This particular frame David Wages from Ellis Cycles took the frame and cut all of the cable stops on and brazed on some DI2 ports. The frame and bike set up is awesome and I was thoroughly impressed. Enough said.

Red Joan, an historical drama based on an extraordinary true story. It poses questions. Was Joan Stanley (played by Sophie Cookson as a young woman and Dame Judi Dench post war years), as naïve as we thought, or simply doltish?
Did she really think she could live her later years unobtrusively in her tranquil English village? Eventually the past catches up with you as Joan later discovers when UK's infamous security service MI5 pays her a visit.
Who would have thought this young intelligent Cambridge University physics student in the 1930's could be seduced by her equally young attractive smooth talking Russian colleague. Then knowingly betray her country for him!
Leo (played by actor Tom Hughes known for his role as Prince Albert in the TV series Victoria) was charming and persuasive. How could she not see what was happening? They say love is blind and it was.
A shattering betrayal of trust for her mentor Max (played by Stephen Campbell Moore from The History Boys films). He loved her whereas Leo's intentions were self-evident.
Who was she trying to unrealistically save and at what price? Based on one of the most influential spies in living history we witness incredible circumstances unfold. It still bothers me the decisions made by Red Joan and I challenge her justification.
Well directed by Sir Trevor Nunn and thank you to Transmission Films and organiser Think Tank Communications.

Staff Spotlight, Ethan Bass
Park Ranger, Ethan Bass
Florida Caverns State Park
When he was a child, Ethan and his family would walk the old fields and forests where they lived.
Ethan was fascinated by the mystery of the past. He always hoped to find buried artifacts from long-lost civilizations and long-ago battles. He wondered who had walked in those same fields and forests and what they had been like. Seeing stone and metal relics made the past real, not just words on a page. His desire to share that feeling is part of what drew Ethan to the Florida Park Service. To Ethan, one of the best feelings in the world is seeing visitors' eyes light up when they see formations that are millions of years old. He's a park ranger because sharing that feeling of wonder, curiosity and awe is always rewarding. Ethan hopes kids who visit or participate in the Junior Ranger program will begin a lifelong journey of curiosity about the environment and the people who lived in it.
"Florida Caverns is one of the most special places in the world," Ethan said. "People have lived here for thousands of years and you can feel that when you're in the park. All our visitors should see the museum. The artifacts, photos and exhibits there bring the park's history to life in a way that you can reach out and touch."

Art Circle Library (Dennis Hill – Solo)
October 2, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Memory Road's lead singer, Dennis Hill, has been an entertainer since 1973, performing with several bands and vocal groups throughout the United States and Canada. Although most people in this area are familiar with Dennis as part of the Memory Road duo, trio, etc., many of his performances prior to moving to Tennessee from the Southern Indiana – Louisville, KY area were of the 'solo' variety. This Art Circle Library show is a chance for you to enjoy some songs that you don't hear Dennis perform with the group. If you enjoy the music of Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce and James Taylor (just a few examples) blended in with some classic country and lost pop oldies, you will enjoy this show.
Admission is free for this 'Lunch Hour' Concert from Noon to 1:00 PM at the Art Circle Public Library on East Street in Crossville, TN. For more information, visit the Art Circle Library web site.

This article analyses how young marginalized ethnic minority men in Denmark react to the othering they are subject to in the media as well as in the social arenas of every day life. The article is based on theoretically informed ethnographic fieldwork among such young men as well as interviews and other types of material. Taking the concepts of othering, intersectionality and marginality as point of departure the article analyses how these young men experience othering and how they react to it. One type of reaction, described as stylization, relies on accentuating the latently positive symbolic meaning in the subject position of the black man in order to become dangerous and sexy. Another type of reaction is resistance, which may take the form of inarticulate oppositional behaviour often aimed at female welfare state professionals or more articulate 'street politics' making the margin a site of critique although in a masculinist way. These reactions to othering represent a challenge to researchers interested in intersectionality and gender, because gender is reproduced as a hierarchical form of social differentiation at the same time as racism is both reproduced and resisted.
