I have an online resume writing service and am finding ways to streamline business processes. Any zaps that have been particularly helpful for Dubsado/Clickup users? Also, is there a Zap that will update an existing Clickup task with a comment if a form is completed and submitted within Dubsado? I’d love to know when a client completes their questionnaire without having to manually check. Could you advise?
I’m wanting to create a library of posts that can automatically be reposed on a daily basis to Pinterest. I’m thinking to try and do this with Google Sheets or Airtable, posting to Pinterest. Is this the best way to accomplish this? Do you have any ideas for what would be needed in this funnel for the automation to go down the list, and then repeat with posting?
I would like to be able to automatically collect data from my social media channels into a spread sheet for my monthly review. Is there a way that I can capture the meta data (followers, following, posts) from Instagram and have it automatically create a new line in a Google Sheet for that month?
Hi all, I set up an integration between Pipedrive and Google sheets. It works well and I get all the information I want. However, I would like to populate the rows when we add new information to Pipedrive. Is there a way to auto update the Google Sheet every day or everytime a record gets updated in Pipedrive? I know the existence of the ‘find or create row’ but I’m looking for a solution that updates the row in Google Sheet when add new information to Pipedrive. Hopefully someone here can help me and point me in the right direction. Thanks, Gerben
One thing that has always frustrated me with Zapier is that, using the list of Zaps, I cannot open the Zaps in a new tab using middle-click like you can with almost any link on the web. Also, it’s frustrating that the list of connected accounts doesn’t show you what zaps are being using by that particular account. We had a staff member, and the Facebook Lead Gen zaps were connected to her account. We need to update them, but without some way to easily open all of the associated zaps, or even just to open all of the zaps using Facebook from the main screen, it’s nearly impossible to systematically update all of the zaps. Anyone have suggestions?

Hi, When using audit completion in iauditor as a trigger, zapier is not always finding the template I want to use. It says it finds the 20 most recently used templates; however this isn’t always the case. I have just completed multiple inspections on a template and it is not finding it. Furthermore, it is not allowing me to search by template id like it did previously. The new layout looks like this when I choose “ custom”. Previously choosing custom prompted you to enter a template id, this is not an option any more. Please help?
I am wanting to synchronize ZenDesk tickets with Asana tasks, and Zapier looked like the perfect solution, but so far, the results are disappointing. I am new to Zapier, and wondering if anyone else has experience with this, if perhaps I am missing something (or if Zapier just isn’t the right tool for the). ZenDesk => Asana I was able to get a new ZenDesk ticket to create a new Asana task, but the only information copied to Asana is the Task/Ticket title. is there any way to get the description or other fields to copy over? I don’t see a way to link my ZenDesk ticket to an Asana task, such that the Asana task is updated or closed when the same happens in ZenDesk. is there a way to do this? (I can create a new zap for a given ZenDesk ticket triggered on a ZenDesk “Action” on that ticket, but that would mean adding a zap manually for each new ZenDesk ticket, which is unmanageable.) Only 2 of my 10 or so ZenDesk Views are visible in the Zap setup. Is there a trick to making the re
My eyes are getting blurry from trying to figure this out and staring at my computer for so long. I hope I’m just having a dumb moment and someone can help. I’m trying to integrate Jotform to Hubspot through Zapier so that when a form is submitted through JotForm, the related Hubspot Deal is updated. However, Zapier requires a “Deal ID” field. Since we’re asking clients to submit these JotForms to provide us with our information, they don’t know their “Deal ID.” The “Deal ID” field is required...is there a way around this?
So I’m trying to run a zap to update contact information from a webinar app called LiveStorm. Here’s the problem I’m running into: it is possible that the person being added is already in Salesforce. And, to make matters more complicated, they could be either a Lead or a Contact. Anybody else ever deal with this situation? I currently use email address to find the Lead in Salesforce and then create one if they don’t exist, but I don’t know what to do if the person exists in Salesforce but was converted to a Contact. Any thoughts appreciated!
Hey People! First time here, go easy on me :) I want to send a text message to a facebook lead.

Hi, I have recently used Gmail to do a custom (term) search and “scrape” the Name: & To: email to be populated on Airtable, the to be repurposed in Mail Chimp.

Hi folks. I’m trying to implement a marketing automation campaign in Infusionsoft and somebody suggested I might be able to make it work in Zapier. Here’s the background... My front-end marketing funnel is: Opt-in page --> emails --> sales page (on website) --> questionnaire (on website) --> Calendly (for appointment scheduling) --> order form. I’m trying to figure out a way for all new subscribers (contacts) to access a discount offer which expires 7 days after opt-in. The challenge, it seems, is that you can’t make an Infusionsoft discount expire on a delay timer. I could send them down a different path so they only reach an order form with a discount in the emails sent in the first 7 days. The problem with this approach is they could still click a link in one of the emails from the first 7 days and redeem the discount. Is there a way to make this work? I understand there’s an Infusionsoft addon called PlusThis which has a ‘magic links’ option that directs someone to a
HI, I plan to setup a zap to pull data from somewhere(Already setup) and then send it to an app which can create login/pwd for the data. That login has to be for a live streaming service.

Hi there, I am currently setting up my website. I have Chargekeep to integrate with Stripe for payment collection. I thought then any sign ups could easily go on my ActiveCampaign list however they have informed me I need to integrate Stripe with Zapier! So I am now here at Zapier trying to figure it all out. All I want is for the details of anyone that makes a Stripe payment to go on my ActiveCampaign list. Looking at the pricing though, say I have 2,000 people that sign up so I am already getting charged the Stripe fees of 2.9% +.30cents per transaction and then do I also have to pay for Zapier fees of $107NZD/$61USD per month!?? for it to also go through Zapier? Is this correct or have I totally misread the pricing structure for Zapier? It is only one function I need it for and that is to connect Stripe and ActiveCampaign. Thanks for your help.
Hi I am a fascinated newbie to Zapier and inter app integrations. I am trying to integrate trello with skedpal so that whenever I make a new card in trello, a corresponding task is created in SkedPal. However, I’m having difficulty in getting the SkedPal task named with the trello card title. Instead, I am having to name the SkedPal task with something very generic which is not so helpful when trying to prioritize in SkedPal. Any help will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks

Unbeknown to Adlawan is that what is extremely personal will get skewered on screen. As scenes from the film flashes before the audiences eyes, we also get a glimpse of the truth behind it. And most often than not, what we see is farther from the truth. In the finished film, we see Jacklyn Jose portraying Adlawan, Klaudia Koronel as Raymundo, and the cynical Dante Rivero as the soulless grandfather.

Raymond James's James Parker today raised his rating on shares of Spirit Airlines (SAVE) to Outperform from Market Perform, with a $21 price target, writing that worries about the impact of Hurricane Sandy are overblown and that Street estimates are now more reasonable for the company.
Parker encourages investors to look past Sandy, as the total impact seems to be pretty well figured out now:
Spirit canceled 134 flights (2.2% of October capacity) due to Hurricane Sandy. However, the negative carry-over impact on traffic/fares is expected to continue in 4Q12. Spirit caters to price-sensitive leisure travelers and has a relatively short booking curve, which intensifies the impact of such natural disasters. While revenue is cut substantially, costs are not likely to be reduced materially as aircraft, personnel, and schedules are already in place. The total impact, we believe, will be $35 million pretax (EPS of $0.30) and is reflected in our 4Q12E EPS. However, we believe Sandy is generally a non-recurring natural disaster and the impact should not persist beyond 4Q12.
Estimates are being helped by the company's management being more "transparent":
Since the last earnings release at the end of October, it appears that management is becoming more transparent and forthcoming with information that should improve earnings predictability. Furthermore, consensus for 2013 EPS has declined from a high of $2.56 in July 2012 to a more reasonable level, in our opinion, of $1.99 vs. our $1.90 estimate.
Spirit also seems to have a defensible niche, he thinks:
Spirit's growth strategy is based on entering high density markets primarily controlled by legacy carriers, and using its much lower cost structure to cut average fares by ~25% and still realize a ~13% operating margin. Our research supports the thesis that Spirit is largely carrying passengers whose fares are generally too low for higher cost incumbent carriers (refer to our October 4 note) and our conversations with managements at legacy carriers and Southwest suggest that that they are not particularly concerned with Spirit's limited presence (2-3 flights per day) in their markets because Spirit is largely carrying passengers whose fares are too low for these carriers to serve profitably.
Spirit shares today are up $1.29, or 8%, at $17.

Seeking to “Change the Game”, the all new Ninja 7 Hybrid offers a unique window into a world of future motorcycles but in a contemporary time frame, with the first models expected to be on showroom floors in January 2024.
At the heart of the Ninja 7 Hybrid is the innovative combination of a brand new 451cc parallel twin, water-cooled four-stroke engine – complete with manual or automatically selected gears – and a traction motor plus battery; a futuristic combination that offers a number of new riding experiences plus an engine power of 59.12 PS rising to an impressive hybrid net power of 69.99 PS thanks to “e-boost”.
In terms of dimensions, the Ninja 7 Hybrid is a mid-size package offering 650cc to 700cc class overall performance with the instant acceleration to rival that of a 1,000cc-class super sport model from a standing start (with Kawasaki’s e-boost function already seen on their EV machines), fuel economy on par with the 250cc-class and button-shift sport riding. In addition, riders can switch between three riding modes (SPORT-HYBRID, ECO-HYBRID, EV**) that each offer a distinct riding character as they accommodate a wide range of riding situations.
Other innovations include idling stop whereby the internal combustion engine stops at a halt to save fuel and reduce emissions plus Automatic Launch Position Finder (ALPF) which – when selected – automatically selects first gear at standstill plus a forward and reverse “walk mode” to aid low speed manoeuvring and parking.
Utilising a specially designed version of Kawasaki’s familiar trellis type chassis, the “packaging” of the petrol engine and 12.1 PS max traction motor reveals a compact twinned power unit with the 48V lithium-ion battery near the centre point of the chassis to idealise weight distribution. And in terms of styling, the Ninja 7 Hybrid is resplendent in a unique HEV treatment combining a matt lime green under cowl with silver and black bodywork destined – like its engineering innovations – to set this bike apart from the common herd.
Ergonomically, the relaxed and sporty riding position eases the rider towards the high-grade cockpit and carefully considered layout of the switchgear; both designed to be intuitive and to inspire confidence. For the meters, full-colour TFT instrumentation includes smartphone connectivity via a custom version of the RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience.
As the first of its kind, the Ninja 7 Hybrid sets the bar for HEV motorcycling. Offering the best elements of ICE and EV models, and able to navigate both the urban jungle and countryside back roads, this revolutionary new model is greater than the sum of its parts. With its exciting character and numerous innovative features for riders to explore, the Ninja 7 Hybrid truly ushers in a new era in riding experiences.
The Ninja 7 Hybrid will be available in the UK from April 2024, with prices to be confirmed nearer the time.
* Mass production models (excluding scooters) from a major power sports manufacturer as of October 6, 2023, per Kawasaki Motors, Ltd. research.
Strong hybrid systems combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor for powerful riding, and because of their large battery capacity they are able to run on electricity alone.
** The Ninja 7 Hybrids’ EV Mode may be helpful for certain situations where quiet riding is appropriate, such as in residential areas or in parking garages. Speed and range are limited.

UV rays lie in the wavelength range from around 10 nm to around 400 nm and have a frequency between the ranges 800 THz to 30 PHz. UV radiation is harmful as continuous exposure to these will result in skin and eye diseases. It also results in the aging of the skin. On the other hand, it is the best source of natural vitamin D, which is essential for human growth. UV rays have a shorter wavelength range than visible light and therefore cannot be seen by human beings. There are some insects like bumblebees which actually can see ultraviolet rays.
Although the earth is open to a large amount of UV ray exposure from the sun, most of it is absorbed by the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Black lights, mercury lamps, and tanning lights (in tanning salons) are different sources of ultraviolet rays.
Discovery of Ultraviolet Rays
The discovery of ultraviolet rays is a very interesting story. During the 1800s, a guy named Johann Ritter wanted to check the existence of waves beyond the visible spectrum of light. At the time, it was known that photographic film turned black faster in blue light than red. Ritter exposed this film to beyond violet and as expected, the film turned black. This proved the existence of ultraviolet rays.
UV lamps emit radiation that is enough to kill germs. They are used in healthcare to sterilize surgical instruments. UV rays are also used in the purification of water and the pharmaceutical industry.

David Cameron has said families in the UK are just "one click away" from protecting their children online and implementing web filters.
Hundreds of thousands of homes have been given a whole home family friendly internet filter just months after the Prime Minister signed up Internet Service Providers (ISP) to do more to help parents keep their children safe online.
"I made a promise in July that I would take action to help parents protect their children when online at home and we are now delivering on that promise," the Conservative leader said.
"In the weeks and months ahead, millions of hard working families will only need one click to protect their whole home and to keep their children safe.
"And when someone sets up a new broadband account, the settings to install family friendly filters will be automatically selected and it will only be switched off parent choses to do so."
The Prime Minister will host a key meeting with the Internet Service Providers and wider internet industry on Monday in Downing Street.

Piskun says he won’t return on post of Prosecutor General so far
“I’m a Member of Parliament..."
Member of Parliament Svyatoslav Piskun (the Party of Regions faction) will not submit any application for his reinstating on the post of Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
S.Piskun said this in an interview with UNIAN, commenting on the today’s ruling of the District Appeal Administrative Court of Ukraine, which, in fact, returned him on the post.
S.Piskun stressed that the ruling of court cancelled “the illegal decree on my dismissal, which automatically means that the decree on my appointment [as the Prosecutor General] is valid”.
According to S.Piskun, he had no doubt about the court ruling, because the President’s decree [on his dismissal] violated the constitutional provision, in line with which the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine must give its consent to dismissal of a Prosecutor General. He stressed that lawyers from the Presidential Secretariat “overcomplicated things”.
According to S.Piskun, there is a court ruling, but for him to be reinstated on the post, it is necessary to dismiss Oleksander Medvedko, who is a legitimate prosecutor at present.
S.Piskun pointed out he will not submit any applications to return on the post “because I do not think to return so far”, he said. “I’m a Member of Parliament, the presidential election is upcoming. So I’m not going to return so far”, he specified.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on April 24, the district administrative court of Kyiv declared illegal the decree of President of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko of May 24, 2007, #469/2007 “On Declaring Invalid President’s Decree of April 26, 2007, #357”. The decree of April 26, 2007, reinstated Svyatoslav Piskun on the post of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
S.Piskun’s spokesman Dmytro Ponamarchuk has disclosed this to UNIAN.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on April 26, 2007, President of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko reinstated S.Piskun on post of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, to implement the ruling of the Shevchenkivskiy district court of Kyiv.
At the same time, on May 24, 2007, Victor Yushchenko signed decree #469/2007 “On Declaring Invalid President’s Decree of April 26, 2007, #357”.
S.Piskun appealed against this decree in court.


There has been a noticeable lack of iPad mini leaks and rumors leading up to Apple's October 16th iPad keynote, making some believe that this is the end of the line for the 7-inch tablet. However today, the Japanese blog Macotakara reports that the smaller tablet will make an appearance alongside its larger counterpart at Apple's press conference on Thursday.
One reason for that lack of iPad mini 3 rumors could be that the upcoming refresh isn't that exciting. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in April that the next-generation iPad mini may only receive a new processor and Touch ID, as opposed to the iPad Air 2 which is rumored to be getting a redesign, its own A8X chip, 2GB of RAM and other notable upgrades.
"...We previously thought Apple would not release a new version of the iPad mini this year, but we now think Apple will launch an upgraded version with same form factor, A8 processor and Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) to boost shipments of iPad mini with Retina display."


The Medicare population is growing more diverse by the day. In fact, over 65 million U.S. residents speak a language other than English at home. Approximately 15 percent of this audience is 65 or older. The size of this audience will only increase, as immigration is expected to account for nearly 90 percent of population growth in the U.S. over the next several decades.
To ensure Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Plans (Part D) are enabling effective communication for all seniors, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) monitors the call-centers of Medicare plans each year from February to June.
Many plans ask, “How are CMS Quality Ratings calculated? On what criteria are the ratings based?”
CMS Quality Ratings
CMS rates Medicare plans on a 1 to 5 star system where 1 indicates poor performance and 5 excellent performance. The Star Rating System was created by CMS to measure the quality of the plans and assist seniors in choosing the most appropriate plan. According to Healthcare Finance News, the Medicare Part C and Part D Star Ratings for 2020 showed more plans rated 4 stars or higher than 2019. With approximately 1,200 additional Medicare Advantage plans operating in 2020 than two years ago, there is increased pressure on plans to provide optimal service and quality to attract the growing Medicare eligible population.
The Affordable Care Act mandated that Quality Bonus Payments (QBPs) be made to plans earning 4 or 5 stars. QBPs are incentive payments made by CMS to pay for extra benefits which help plans attract new members and increase revenue. The star assignments are based on a formula examining a series of indicators to measure a plan’s quality. One of these indicators is the Accuracy and Accessibility Study.
CMS Star Rating Calculations
The CMS weighting system for the Star Rating measures is complex. It examines measures across these five aspects of the patient journey:
- Outcomes - improvements in a beneficiary’s health
- Intermediate outcomes - reflect actions taken to assist in improving a beneficiary’s health status, such as controlling blood pressure
- Patient experience - beneficiaries’ perspectives of the care they received
- Access - processes and issues that could create barriers to receiving care, including interpreter accessibility
- Process - services provided to assist in maintaining, monitoring, or improving health status
Process measures are weighted at the lowest level while improvements in a beneficiary’s health are given the highest weighting. While the access measure (which includes interpreter accessibility) isn’t the highest weighted measure, it remains an important factor and contributes to the overall score.
To learn more about the study, we invite you to download our new ebook, CMS Call Center Monitoring Study 2020 Edition.
LanguageLine can help
LanguageLine Solutions is the only language-services provider that actively works to ensure that your plan earns a five-star rating.
LanguageLine has ongoing contact with CMS, working closely with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services throughout the year to stay on top of changes in the process, such as languages to be tested, CMS scoring changes, and auditing issues.
Meanwhile, our Workforce Management Team ensures appropriate interpreter staffing levels for CMS-targeted languages during the test period.
We also offer real-time process improvement, working with clients as quickly as possible to identify issues and escalate resolutions to ensure ongoing success.

Aim of this study is to understand which approach (expert or process orientated) sport club consultants use in succesfully raising the organizational capacity of voluntary sport clubs in the northern part of the Netherlands. Around 130 professional sport club consultants are active in the northern part of the Netherlands, but it is not clear which approach they use in raising the organizational capacity of the clubs within a specific context and if this approach is effective. Theoretical backgroundA sport club with great organizational capacity has the ability to offer their sport, now and in the future, in a sustainable and socially responsible way to (potential) members. Dutch voluntary sport clubs (VSCs) are facing several challenges in perceived consumerist behavior by members (Van der Roest, 2015), demands by the government to attribute to the social policy agenda (Coalter, 2007) and declining number of members in complex contexts (Wollebæk, 2009). Between 300-500 sport club consultants, mostly funded by local governments or sport associations, are tasked to raise the organizational capacity of these VSCs in the Netherlands. Most consultants play an expert role delivering generic interventions on specific topics as recruiting volunteers, sponsorships or positive behavior support. The other consultants play a process consultation role in which a holistic strategic change approach is used for more sustainable organizational development (Schein, 1999). The context of the organizations (VSC’s) is determining which approach is the best in developing the organizational capacity. But most of the time consultants use the same, mostly expert role, in consulting the organizations (Boonstra & Elving, 2009). Therefore it is not clear which approach (expert or process orientated) sport club consultants in the Netherlands use in raising the organizational capacity of VSC’s in different contexts. Methodology, research design, and data analysisThe study will be conducted from March 2017 till the end of July 2017 in the northern part of the Netherlands. In March we have started with identifying successful sport club consultants in three steps: these steps show a qualitative description of the current competences, approaches and interventions (repertoire) as seen by the sport club consultants in our target group:1) A group of experts have been gathered to formulate criteria for the competences, approaches and interventions of a successful process orientated sport club consultant. 2) The criteria from step 1 are validated by theory about organizational development and consulting of organizations. Thereafter the criteria are processed into a digital survey 3) The survey has been send to n=130 sport club consultants in the northern part of the Netherlands. 4) Based on the output of the survey, profiles will be developed of different types sport club consultants (process orientated, mediator, supporter, coach, expert) and the approaches per type of consultant. For each profile a ranking will be made based on which criteria (from step 1) the consultants meet. This ranking will be used to make a selection of successful sport club consultants to conduct research in five multiple case studies. From June on multiple case studies will be conducted in which five process consultants are working with a VSC. A case study protocol will be developed that observe the consultant in three sessions at the club. In addition interviews will be conducted with the consultant, the board of the club, and other relevant stakeholders. With a cross-case synthesis patterns will be developed in the way the consultants worked and how these approaches were interpreted and valued by the various stakeholders. Results, discussion, and implications/conclusionsIn the expected results both approaches and interventions (repertoire) of the consultant as their competences and qualities are analyzed which will result in the profiling of the active sport club consultants. We also gain insights in which approach of the sport club consultants is the most effective in raising the organizational capacity of a VSC in a given context. New insights on how consultants can successfully contribute to the sustainable organizational development of VSCs will be presented.

This question already has an answer here:
- Running Windows with defective RAM 8 answers
I have found a RAM error with MemTest86+ (the version included with Ubuntu 13.04), it says:
Failing address: 002f796c48 - 759.5 MB
I have no money to buy new RAM now and the error seems to be single so I hope I can just override it.
In Linux there is a
memmap kernel parameter that can be specified in the boot loader configuration file lets to blacklist a particular RAM area easily.
Perhaps there is a similar parameter
boot.ini parameter or other way to do the same in Windows? I am interested in both Windows 7 and XP solutions.

Public Law & Legal Theory
Many of us engage in debates, sometimes intense debates, over the proper method of constitutional interpretation for judges. This paper offers six reasons to believe that these debates involve low stakes, in the sense that the choice among competing methods will not determine outcomes in a significant number of important cases. These reasons involve mainstream constraints, overlapping results, indeterminate results, intolerable results, interpretation without decision, and unimportant constitutional decisions. After a suitably brief investigation of theoretical and experimental resources on low-stakes decision making, the paper suggests how debates over constitutional interpretation by judges might proceed if more people become convinced that the stakes are indeed low. Three venues of debate are considered—academia, the judicial appointments process, and judiciaries—along with stakes beyond case outcomes.

This is absolutely amazing. In honor of what would have been Aaliyah’s 36th birthday on Jan. 16, Frank Ocean took to covering the Princess of R&B’s classic cover of the Isley Brothers’ ‘At Your Best (You Are Love)’. Click to listen to the touching tribute.
Frank Ocean gave a sweet and soulful tribute to Aaliyah who tragically passed away in 2001 at age 22. The talented 27-year-old R&B artist shared a stripped down rendition of the Isley Brothers 1976 track, “At Your Best (You are Love)”, which Aaliyah famously covered in 1994. Listen here!
Frank Ocean’s ‘At Your Best’ Cover — Sings Aaliyah Tribute
Frank posted the song on his Tumblr page on Jan. 17 titling his version, “You Are Luhh.” The stripped down song is both emotional and heartfelt, while Frank’s vocal range and falsetto shine through in the amazing cover.
Frank has been taking to his Tumblr to drop new music, including his most recent single “Memrise,” a two minute track showing off a mellow, atmospheric sound.
Aaliyah’s version of “At Your Best” has certainly not been forgotten. Not only did Frank cover the song to honor her on her birthday, but Drake also sampled the song on his track “Unforgettable.”
Aaliyah’s time was sadly too short, but in the time she did have, the “Try Again” singer happened to have one of the biggest influences on R&B, before she passed away in a plane crash. At the time of the accident, the Grammy-nominated singer was engaged to co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash.
The singer’s life story was portrayed in Lifetime’s biopic Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B with Aaliyah being portrayed by actress Alexandra Shipp, 23.
HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think of Frank Ocean’s tribute song to Aaliyah? Did you think the tribute was sweet? Let us know!

For many of us, Urdhva Hastasana is a pose we practice a variation of unconsciously every morning: We roll out
of bed, stand up—eyes half open, yawning—raise the arms, arch the spine, and take the head back. It is an intuitive movement that
helps get energy moving after a night’s sleep. When we encounter this pose for the first time in a yoga class, we often take it for granted. Why waste time practicing a pose we feel “good” at when there are many more poses to conquer?
There is a natural tendency for beginners to feel a sense of accomplishment and take pride in asanas that seem
easy, especially when others present more obvious challenges. Unfortunately, these feelings can become obstructions for connecting
with the more subtle qualities of a posture. Urdhva Hastasana (Upward Hand Pose) has within it the seeds of more advanced poses
like arm balances and backbends. And by mastering the intelligence of a simple pose like Urdhva Hastasana, you can gain the power and confidence to move deeper into your practice.
Entering the Pose
Like most asanas, the principles of movement in Urdhva Hastasana break into three parts: entering the pose, being in the pose, and
exiting the pose. Whether you are practicing it individually or as part of a flow series, the pose should be executed with these principles in mind.
It is helpful to begin with the understanding of where movement in a pose comes from. There is a very basic principle in
physics which you have probably heard since you were in grade school: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In yogic terms, this concept applies directly to the movement of subtle energy in the body. If you want something to go up, connect with the energy that is going down.
To begin Urdhva Hastasana, stand with your feet together and arms at your sides. Feel the soles of your feet softening
into the floor and the firmness of the floor supporting your weight evenly across each foot. This is your ground. Notice that there is a natural lift that accompanies this grounding. Allow the breath to move freely along the full length of your torso, without bloating the belly. With an exhalation, soften and release the weight of your organs down, feeling the navel draw slightly inward. Sense your organs resting on the floor of your pelvis, and pay attention to the firming in your legs and a subtle lift moving up the spine. As you catch this energy, surrender your shoulders and begin your inhalation, feeling your breath across your back as you raise your arms. You should sense lightness and length in your arms, like a kid flying down the road in a car with his arm sticking out the window. The effortless lifting of weight by its very nature is grace, and in Urdhva Hastasana, grace is the outer expression of the inner movement of energy, where all effort is coordinated and directed from the abdominal center.
At the peak of the pose, the arms converge over your head as you bring your palms together. Spread your shoulder blades and draw your chin in slightly (towards the center of the throat) as you take your head back and gaze at your thumbs. If you have neck vertebrae complications, keep your head upright until you develop the strength and understanding necessary for taking it back.
When practicing Urdhva Hastasana as an individual asana, the depth of the pose is plumbed by repeatedly letting go or dropping down the inner body, the shoulders, and the frontal ribs. With practice, you begin to notice how from your vital center in the
abdomen, strength builds and energy rises straight upward through the back.
Once in the pose, on an exhalation, soften the top of the lungs and feel the space around the heart increase. This energy creates
a drop in the inner body, softness in the ribs, and more space to breathe. The extension in the neck improves, and the spine naturally straightens without excessive muscular effort. As you inhale, visualize the breath entering through your navel—slow, smooth, and rhythmic. Each time your weight shifts and takes you away from your center, return by paying attention and making the necessary adjustments.
Exit This Way
When all parts of the body are brought together in the culmination of this pose, you should feel a deep sense of connection. In
this state, you can come in contact with the force that creates all things and causes them to grow—by a union of complementary
opposites. This is the creative energy of harmony.
When you are ready to exit the pose, slowly exhale, pulling the hands down with palms together in Namaste. As the hands draw near to the face, let the proximity—the energy—of the hands pull the face down until the head returns to a neutral position.
Continue to let the hands descend together, feeling the energy as they pass the throat, the heart, the solar plexus, the navel, and the genitals. As this energy moves down the front of the body, feel the stillness and lightness in the spine. Close your eyes and feel the calm resonating from the deepest corners of your awareness.
The Yoga Sutra gives many clues about how to cultivate the right attitude for practice. In its simplest translation, sutra means “thread.” Like a thread, each sutra represents the absolute minimum necessary to hold a concept together. The brevity of the sutras allowed practitioners of times past to memorize the entire work and then elucidate meanings through discourse with other practitioners and sustained personal practice. Though they may appear simple on the surface, the sutras often have compound meanings, with both literal and hidden interpretations.
The metaphor of a sutra will serve you well in your approach to Urdhva Hastasana: It is a pose that requires a resolution of literal and hidden forces, and the less one elaborates, the more it reveals.

This study created and tested predictive models developed using airborne imaging spectrometer and light detection and ranging (LIDAR)instruments for estimating the concentrations of photosynthetic pigments in broad-leaved and coniferous forest plantations. Data were acquired using a Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) and an Airborne Laser Terrain Mapping (ALTM) 1020 instrument in midsummer for study sites in the New Forest, England, along with concomitant in situ measurements of canopy properties. The stands used displayed a wide variation in the biophysical and biochemical properties of interest. When employing the imaging spectrometer data alone, there were no relationships between any spectral variables (band reflectance, band ratios, or first derivatives of reflectance) and canopy biophysical and biochemical properties when both broad-leaved and coniferous stands were analysed as a combined data set. However, for the broad-leaved stands alone, curvilinear relationships were found between the wavelength position of the red edge (kRE) and pigment concentrations per unit ground area (e.g., R2=0.88** for chlorophyll a [Chl a]) and per unit leaf mass (e.g., R2=0.76** for Chl a). The predictive value of these models was somewhat limited; for example, the root mean squared error (RMSE) was 300 mg m-2 (27% of the mean) for Chl a concentration per unit ground area and 1.17 mg g-1 (24% of the mean) for Chl a concentration per unit leaf mass. A ratio of a near-infrared and a green band (865 nm/553 nm) was linearly related to leaf area index (LAI) of the broad-leaved stands (R2=0.71**) and the regression model was a reasonable predictor of the LAI for the independent test sites (RMSE=0.88; 18.6% of the mean). Canopy height information derived from the ALTM data was used to mask out canopy gap areas from the CASI imagery of each stand. This process had limited impact on the relationships between spectral and canopy variables for the broad-leaved stands, and kRE remained unrelated to pigment concentrations per unit ground area for the coniferous stands. However, the masking process substantially improved the strength of the relationship between kRE and pigment concentrations per unit leaf mass for the coniferous stands (e.g., for Chl a R2=0.85**; RMSE of prediction=0.84 mg g-1 [22% of the mean]). Therefore, the study demonstrates that for broad-leaved stands, spectral models can be applied to imaging spectrometer data to quantify forest pigments and LAI with moderate accuracy. For coniferous stands, the use of LIDAR data to remove canopy gap areas from the CASI imagery considerably increases the accuracy of spectral predictive models for quantifying pigment concentrations per unit leaf mass.

The reaction of (+)-catechin with formaldehyde vapor was investigated as a model reaction of formaldehyde adsorption of (+)-catechin. It was found by H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and gel permeation chromatography of the product that the vapor reaction of (+)-catechin with formaldehyde without a solvent or a catalyst proceeds via methylolation, condensation, and polymerization. This is the same as the reaction in a solvent in the presence of an acid or a base. The formation of polyoxymethylenes such as paraformaldehyde was not confirmed.

In recent years, thermal driving night vision system has been increasingly known by people.
The driving assistant system can, without interfering in the normal driving of drivers, improve the driving comfort and safety of drivers. Infrared thermal imaging automobile driving assistant system can facilitate drivers to identify pedestrians in front of the vehicle in advance in the dark (without the night vision assistance system, this kind of identification would be realized quite late).
The thermal driving night vision system is capable of extracting the heat generating object which is not within the lighting vision of the vehicle yet from its background, displaying it in the screen, which greatly improves the driving experience of driver and the driving safety factor.

Back in 2012, country singer Blake Shelton teamed up with his mother, Dorothy Shackleford, for a duet of the Christmas song “Time for Me to Come Home” off Shelton’s 2013 holiday album, Cheers, It’s Christmas.
Interestingly, the song was written by the mother and son tandem. “Blake was writing the song for his Christmas album and said he needed help with the second verse,” Shackleford recalled. “So I came up with the second verse, and that’s how the song was born.”
Shelton revealed that his mom, a beauty shop owner, did not need much persuading to help him out on the album. In fact, she was really excited that they will be writing a song together “because she’s always coming up with song ideas.”
And since “Time for Me to Come Home” is also more or less “about the relationship between a kid and his mom,” Shelton asked her mom to sing the song with him.
“That thrilled me, but at the same time, it made me very nervous because I’m not a great singer,” Shackleford admitted. “I just about passed out … but somehow I got through it.”
The Song Was More Than A Commercial Success
Following the song’s release, Shackleford teamed up with author Travis Thrasher to transform the lyrics into a novel inspired by actual holiday memories with her country superstar son. In 2018, the song was also turned into a Hallmark Christmas movie, Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas.
Shelton executive produced the film. It tells the tale of a big-time music star named Heath (Josh Henderson) who found himself stranded in Chicago during the holidays with a small-town girl, Cara (Megan Park). Despite his fame, Cara has no idea who Heath is. While they were both heading back to Oklahoma, a connection sparked between the two.
“Heath has some of Blake’s personality,” Shackleford said. “He’s a little witty, and he’s a nice guy. Heath’s father has passed, and Blake’s father has passed in real life. There are bits and pieces of Blake in it. But [it’s] mostly all fiction.”
Since then, Shelton produced another film, Time for You to Come Home for Christmas in 2019, and now, eight years after the song’s release, fans get to enjoy the third film in the sequel, Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas.
It starred Lacey Chabert and Stephen Huszar, and it debuted on Saturday, December 5. The film mixes Hallmark’s signature romance with a hint of mystery with its plot that follows five guests – all of them were secretly invited to the same inn. Sarah (Lacey Chabert) sets out to solve the mystery and discover what connects her and the other guests.
Indeed, the song “Time for Me to Come Home” is more than just a commercial success.
“Now it’s Christmas, Christmas. I’m hurrying’ on my way. Christmas, Christmas, like I’m riding in a one-horse sleigh. Well, I don’t have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone. Mama just called and said it’s time for me to come home,” it goes.
You can listen to Shelton and his mom’s duet of the Christmas song in the video below.

No other studio has planned a film for that weekend, and they probably won’t. Early October is usually not a huge moviegoing time.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
Sometimes it’s hard to translate the bright colors of comics to the movie screen. But Wonder Woman seems to have worked all that out.
Expect to see the character during a ‘key sequence’ in next year’s superhero team-up.
Filming has now begun for the film, which has eyed a debut just after Easter in 2018.
Deathstroke’s Joe Manganiello says critics shouldn’t judge the new Batman film, especially if they sell its director and co-writer short.
The studio could finish at top for the first time since ‘Finding Nemo’ came out in 2003.
The actor who portrayed Mance Rayder will go beyond the Wall to join the DC Extended Universe.
Tom Holkenborg, who also produces music under the moniker Junkie XL, won’t be back for ‘Deadpool 2.’
‘DaVinci’s Demons’ creator David S. Goyer has signed a two-year development with IM Global Television, partnering him with former Syfy exec Mark Stern.
Marc Guggenheim must walk a fine line when it comes to using characters in The CW’s ‘Arrow’ that Warner Bros. might be interested in including in a movie.
While fans may have enjoyed Tyler Hoechlin, it seems there’s only enough television show for one of the Krytonian natives.
A comic book movie that clocks in under two hours? Strange, indeed.

Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day in Hopkins, and it was my final day there. I was a little melancholy about it, since I was having so much fun with my client, the other guests at the hotel, and of course, I was enjoying the ocean.
Not in a hurry to get out of town, I took my client over to Sittee River, a nearby village. There’s a road connecting Hopkins Village to the Sittee River area (you can also access it from the Southern Highway-one exit past the Hopkins exit). This area has been under development for a while, with a lot of ocean front and river side lots for sale, many with homes already built on them.
There is also a nice marina there, with a restaurant/bar called “The Curve,” which was closed this time of year, as well as what looked like some jeeps for rent. If it weren’t the slow season, it would be a nice little spot only about two miles from the hotel we were staying at to go have lunch and chill.
After we were done looking around, I dropped her off at the hotel and hit the road. I had a long 2 ½ hour drive back to Cayo. This is one of my favorite drives anywhere in Belize because I absolutely love the Hummingbird Highway. Whenever people ask me what they should not miss seeing in Belize, they probably think I’ll say the ruins at Xunantunich or Lamanai, or the Great Barrier Reef. Instead, I tell them they should drive the Hummingbird Highway.
It is stunningly gorgeous, with tons of palm and coconut trees, orange groves, rolling mountains, and bright red and yellow plants of all shapes and sizes. It is dotted with one quaint Maya village after another, and their humble thatch roof homes, giving you a real flavor for how the local people live. There’s also one or two good places to stop and either eat or hike, like “Over the Top-The Cool Spot,” or The Blue Hole National Park. Ian Anderson’s Cave Branch Jungle Lodge is also located on this stretch. You could quite literally spend a couple of days on the Hummingbird Highway and not get bored.
I was glad to reach home, though, and see Nige. I made some spaghetti, we watched some tv, and it was nice to be back sleeping in my bed.
What do you miss most when you travel?

Stewart, JA 2011, Investigation into the design and development of a disinfection system utilising a novel spill-return atomiser (SRA) , PhD thesis, Salford : University of Salford.

A novel mobile fine spray unit, utilising a Spill-Return Atomiser® (SRA) has been designed and developed for the purpose of decontamination within healthcare environments. The unit is able to spray uniformly onto any given surface, providing 'mist like' coverage. The high liquid pressure fine spray swirl atomiser that has been developed incorporates a spill-return orifice into the rear face of the swirl chamber with the aim of giving a significant reduction in flow rate whilst maintaining droplet size. Initial work modified a commercial atomiser to add spill-return. However drop sizes were considered to be too large and a new design was constructed based upon earlier work on efficient high pressure (up to 12MPa) swirl atomisation. The atomiser was characterised for different geometries, supply pressures and spill return orifice sizes using a Laser Particle Sizer (Malvern Mastersizer-X) and Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA). Spill-Return Swirl Atomiser (SRA) with a long swirl chamber was also designed and experimentally tested. This was found to have a direct reflection on the control of spray characteristics and the determination of the coating performance of the SRA on various surfaces in achieving the desired efficiency in the disinfection procedure. The subsequent coating and coverage produced by the SRA was analysed both quantatively and qualitatively via a range of test procedures. The investigation has found that the utilisation of fine sprays (15μm<D32<25μm) at high liquid pressure (<12MPa) and low flow rates (<0.3 1/min) is indeed suitable for surface disinfection in healthcare applications (i.e. MRSA, VRSA etc.). Moreover, the resulting fine sprays can be used for various applications such as humidification, cleaning, coating, cooling and decontamination. The prototype disinfection system designed together with the market analysis which were subsequently manufactured and tested by the respective international company in Manchester, Hughes Safety Shower Ltd. The system is currently going under clinical trials within NHS and is scheduled to be fully launched during 2013/2014 by the company

Sunspot, Temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere.
Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection. Sunspots usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity. Their number varies according to the approximately 11-year solar cycle.
Individual sunspots or groups of sunspots may last anywhere from a few days to a few months, but eventually decay.

For more than a hundred years readers who fell in love with “The Secret Garden,” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, have set out to create their own secret garden in their backyard. With a little creativity and inspiration you too can create a secluded space and magical corner in your backyard.
What Type of Secret Garden Would You Like?
A secret garden can be a magical and hidden oasis in your backyard so when you go about creating your garden ask yourself: What do you want to be able to do there? Do you want room for a hammock and a water feature for endless hours of hidden reading? Do you want to put up a table and chairs for fairy tea parties or inviting a friend for lunch? Do you want the space big enough to include a fire pit and stone benches?
Another design concept to consider is what do you want your space to feel like? Will it be a creative place with bright colors that inspire you? Or do you want a calm atmosphere with soothing tones and natural decorations? Draw out your ideal design and what inspires you. If you’ve always thought that a secret garden needed to have crumbling stone and a cottage garden design then think again!
Let your creativity run wild and determine how you would like to relax in your secret garden and let that help you decide how big to make your space.
Choosing a Spot for a Secret Garden
Look at your yard and determine where your best spot for a secret garden will be. Depending on how you’ll use your secret space the spot may need only be large enough for a bistro set for full seclusion, or a little larger if you’d like to invite more people into your outdoor space.
Using the side of a house or a back corner of the yard allows for the beginnings of privacy already and will help you to build out from what you already have. If you have a natural alcove or a garden gate to work with then these are also good starting points for choosing where you’ll create your garden.
Creating a Sense of Privacy
The first key of a secret garden is that it is a special, secluded space that gives the feel of being hidden, this is why you must first decide how you’ll create privacy when designing your garden.
Creating privacy can definitely be done over time using trees, shrubs and other tall-growing plants, but if you’re looking to create privacy quickly (especially while waiting for plants to grow in) then you still have options:
Doors and Screens
You can purchase outdoor privacy screens or used bi-fold closet doors. Outdoor privacy screens are already built for the yard with the proper materials and even designs and textures that look beautiful in nature which is a bonus.
If you’d like to save a little more money then transforming some secondhand bi-fold doors will do the trick with some paint. The paint color you choose will set the tone for your secret garden whether it is a soothing natural space or a whimsical bohemian hideaway!
Curtains, Fabric and Drapes
The beauty of using curtains or fabric or drapes for a wall is the simplicity and cost. Use a wood frame or PVC piping to create your own custom height, length and dimensions for a fabric privacy wall for your garden. Patterns from nature can fit right in amid flora and fauna while solid-colored textures will add interest and beauty to your backdrop.
There is nothing better then the beauty of living plants to create your privacy. Consider looking into what types of hedge plants grow best in your zone. Hedges don’t usually grow that fast but a trailing vine of ivy or nasturtium can grow much more quickly up a lattice or framework. Plants like arborvitae have long been used for a privacy fence and the same principles can be put to work to create your secret garden.
Creating an Entry for Your Secret Garden
Part of the whimsy of a secret garden is that they have an entry — they are set a part from the rest of the yard and invite you to step inside and discover what is behind the door.
Keep the entry in theme with the rest of your secret space which means you could use anything from a stone gate, a wooden trellis or even hanging vines on an arbor that need to be pushed aside to enter.
Choosing Plants for Your Secret Garden
The plants you choose will reflect the theme and feel of your garden whether you want English roses and ivy or brightly colored zinnias and overflowing pots of tidal wave petunias. When choosing flowers keep in mind certain aspects of the plant that could add a magical touch to your space:
Plants with a Lovely Scent
Certain types of flowers are known for their lovely scents and in an inclosed garden space that scent could become even more noticeable. Flowering plants like lilacs, hyacinths, lavender and magnolias all have beautiful perfumes.
Plants that attract Hummingbirds
There is something magical about spotting a hummingbird nearby and you can plant certain flowers to encourage those beautiful birds to grace your secret garden. Hummingbirds love trumpet honeysuckle, rose of Sharon, columbines and bee balm, all of which grow beautifully in most zones in the USA. Add a birdbath and birdhouse to your garden to invite more bird varieties to be at home in the secret garden.
Plants that Attract Butterflies
You will be surprised at the variety of butterflies you can attract when you plant the right flowers in your garden. Day Lillies, coneflowers, phlox and Lantana will all invite butterflies to stop and visit your secret spot.
Plants that Look Effortless
Oftentimes the image of a secret garden is a slightly wild, natural looking space devoid of tidy edges and carefully pruned bushes. To create a space that looks like it was effortlessly created by nature then look at planting flowers that will reseed in your zone. Letting flowers reseed means they will pop up in new places, spread naturally and come back in more abundance each year.With these simple tips and a good plan in place you’re well on your way to enjoying a quiet afternoon hidden away in your secret garden!


Friday, September 6th 2019, 8:14 pm - The oil storage facility holds 6.75 million barrels of crude oil.
A Norwegian owned oil storage facility on Grand Bahama was damaged during Hurricane Dorian and has caused a 'catastrophic' oil spill, as reported by Bahamas Press.
The tops of five crude-storage tanks were torn off by hurricane winds gusting at speeds up to 295 km/h. A video from Coral Vita, an environmental agency, was posted online showing spilled oil on the ground near the shoreline. Coral Vita has called this oil spill "absolutely catastrophic" and is concerned that the oil spill could result in a fire.
Equinor, Norway's state-owned energy company that owns the oil storage facility, released a statement saying that they have conducted an aerial assessment of the site and found that the facility has sustained damage and oil has spilled, but say it is too early to quantify the volume of spilled oil.
Equinor says that the tough road conditions and flooding caused by the hurricane have impacted their ability to assess the situation and the scope of damages to the terminal and the surroundings.
The facility holds 6.75 million barrels of crude oil and will remain shut down until further notice. On Friday Equinor stated that it is too early to estimate when the response to the oil spill will take place and it does not currently see any indications that the oil has spilled out to the ocean.

Batwoman’s new promo reveals the arrival of one of DC’s most important villains, the Black Mask. In the video, in addition to quickly showing the antagonist, we also see Ryan (Javicia Leslie) arguing with his ex-girlfriend, Angelique (Bevin Bru).
Despite appearing only for a few seconds, the villain’s mask appears to be quite similar to that of comics. The character had not yet been featured on the Arrowverse, but fans recently saw him in Birds of Prey. In theaters, the antagonist was played by Ewan McGregor.
What to expect from the second season of Batwoman?
After the departure of actress Ruby Rose, the series gained a new protagonist and Batwoman: Ryan Wilder. The first 8 episodes of the 2nd year were focused on presenting the heroine and accompanying her adapting to the mantle.
In the last chapter, Alice (Rachel Skarsten), Ryan, Sophie (Meagan Tandy) and Jacob (Dougray Scott) go to an island where they think Kate is being imprisoned. The group believes that the character is dead, but in fact, she survived and will be an important arc for the rest of season 2, this time played by Wallis Day.
The new episodes will also focus on the Black Mask. According to production showrunner Caroline Dries, the villain is the leader of the False Face Society and will come face to face with the heroine.
You can follow the new Batwoman season on the HBO channel or on the HBO Go streaming platform.

|A Word from St. Dominic, in Honor of His Feast|
|Written by Sherry|
|Tuesday, 07 August 2007 20:32|
When St. Dominic went to Rome, presenting a plan for an Order of Preachers to the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. At first, this was not possible, as the council had prohibited the formation of any new religious orders. But Dominic got around that by choosing the Rule of Augustine for his order, and in 1216 the official sanction came from Honorius III.
On his trip to seek authorization, he reportedly received a personal tour of the Vatican's treasures by the pope. "Peter can no longer say, 'Silver and gold have I none,'" said Innocent III, referring to Acts 3:6.
Dominic, now wholly dedicated to his life of poverty, replied, "No, and neither can he say, 'Rise and walk.'"
But St. Dominic could and did. Among other things, he raised a boy from the dead in the presence of numerous trustworthy witnesses who testified to that fact after his death.
