Introducing “The Off Switch V2.15” by teccrab

Posted on Updated on

Logo "The Off Switch V2.15"We live in an age where technology is an important part of our lives. But by staying connected via Computers, Cell Phones, Smart Phones and other Gizmos we often disconnect ourselves from our real lives and sometimes turn into Technology Zombies.

As an Online Marketing Agency we use technology ourselves and understand how important it is to step away once in a while. This is why we would like to invite you to join us for an opportunity to turn off your devices and to talk about better ways to stay connected without disconnecting ourselves from family and friends.

The first thing we will do is to turn off our cell phones, laptops, tablets and other devices. We will even put them away and sit down with pen and paper while talking about our experiences.

To secure that everyone gets the most out of the event we would like to keep groups small. Included in the small $10.00 fee are snacks and drinks available to you during the event.

The first event is planed for Wednesday the 28th January 2015. Upcoming events can be found on our Event List.

We are looking forward to welcomeing you to “The Off Switch V2.15”

Online Security Awareness Seminar (OSAS) – May 2014

Posted on Updated on

We would like to invite you to join our Online Security Awareness Seminar (OSAS) which we will offer in the last two weeks of May. Because of recent security problems such as Heartbleed and the issue with the InternetExplorer we dedicated some time to create this seminar for you. We decided to offer our seminar to everyone who is interested in this subject and to make it also as affordable as possible. During the seminar we will go over the following topics:

OSAS-2014System at risk
When you are working with a computer and the internet you are probably aware about the risks. Let us talk about those systems.

What kind of risks
Heartbleed demonstrated that even big players can not give you any guarantee to be protected. You also need to protect yourself. Let us give you a little overview and talk about the “What kind of risks” each system is facing.

Security vs Convenience
There has to be a balance between security and usability. How much is to much and what is the minimum? Let us talk about it.

Options to secure your system
Let us give you some example how you can protect your systems. We will talk about technics as well as software that can help you accomplishing this goal.

Password creation
We all use passwords to protect our computer, website, social media network, Bank Account and Email. Let us show you how to generate a more secure password which you can also easy remember, hopefully without leaving a clou to others.

At the end of our presentation we will have of course some time to chat with you and to answer questions you may have.

We are looking forward to welcome you in our Consultation Location in the International Mall at 88 West Pender Street where we will offer the seminar every business day from the 20th until the 30th May 2014 from 6:00pm until 7:00pm.

The teccrab 2013 Online Marketing and Social Media Management Seminar

Posted on Updated on

2013-OnlineMarketing_SocialMediaManagementPromoting your product and services can be challenging. For many small businesses and startups the internet seems to be a good and cheap way to do advertising. But before investing a lot of money in the wrong platform, you should know a bit more about the many different ways to promote your business, product and services online. Often a combination of more than one platform leads to a higher success than just putting everything into one online advertisement campaign.

Our weekend seminar is designed to help you to find out which platform is the best for your business. We will talk about Online Marketing in general and also talk about Social Media integration into your Online Marketing campaign. To secure that you will get the most out of our seminar we keep our groups small, only a max of 10 participant per weekend. We also decided to offer this amazing two day seminar for a very discounted price. Only $129.00 for two full days.

Included are the following topics:

Online Marketing
We will talk about Online Marketing in general. Mention the most popular platforms to promote your business, products, services or events online. Plus talk about possible combinations.

You may have heard a lot about those two. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and SEM for Search Engine Marketing, but what does it mean? We hope we can help to get a bit more light on this subject for you in our seminar.

Blogging (Public Relations Services)Blogging
In our experience Blogging is especially for small businesses a great way to inform customers about your business, products, services, special offers and events. A Blog can be a very powerful tool to help you reaching your goals, even with a very low budget.

SEO and SEMKeywords / Tags
To help your customers finding your Blog or website you will need to add keywords so that your site pops up when someone uses a search engine. Let us guide you a little by explaining how important Keywords and Tags are.

Social Media – Overview
Our second day is all about Social Media. We will start with a little introduction and we will also combine things we learned the day before into this topic.

What is the difference between a Facebook Profile, a Facebook Page and a Facebook Group? How can you integrate them into your Online Marketing Strategy and more important should you?

Telling a storey with only 140 characters is not easy. Is Twitter really the right platform for you? Or is it just a waste of time? Let us help you to find out.

We like to call it the professional Social Media Platform. You can find here professionals from around the world, but can also use it to introduce not just yourself, but your business, products and services.

google_plusGoogle Plus
The Social Media Platform from Google. Some love it, some like it, some think it is not worse spending time and money on it. We would like to introduce it to you and maybe you will be surprised that you can find your audience here.

Videos are a great way to introduce your products and services to your audience. Let us show you how you can use YouTube as a fantastic advertising platform.

We will close each day with an hour for your questions. We believe, because our groups are small, you can be sure that your questions will be answered. We are offering this seminar for this amazing price only until the end of December 2013. If you are interested check out our Event Calendar to find which weekend is best for you. The location of the seminar will be our consultation location in Downtown Vancouver.

We are looking forward to see you soon.

Muve Music from Cricket Wireless Helps Ghostface Killah and Sheek Louch “Pay Their Mortgage”

Lindsey C. Holmes

Cricket Wireless has been revolutionary in providing low-cost mobile phones and service to a targeted “urban” demographic. They were also one of the firsts to actually provide good mobile devices in the MVNO market – placing those looking for affordability on par with those who can afford to splurge on the latest device. Then they did something else. They incorporated a music service into their rate plans. Now, that's ingenious. Muve Music, which comes stock with all Cricket Android Rate Plans, provides unlimited song downloads, ringtones and ringback tones to its customers at no extra charge. For customers, access to Muve means instant gratification. I tried out the service at the Cricket booth in the Austin Convention Center during SXSW, and the quality is amazing – especially when paired with one of their Android devices powered by Beats Audio. For the music industry, however, the service seems to do a little bit more… Like actually pay artists for their music.

I sat down for a quick interview with rappers Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan and Sheek Louch at The Source and Muve Music Present Rhyme and Reason Concert at SXSW, which featured the artists, and asked about how music services like Muve are influencing their record sales and the music industry as a whole. I was pleasantly surprised at their take.

The Source and Muve Music Present Rhyme and Reason

The Source and Muve Music Present Rhyme and Reason

Interview with Ghostface Killah of The Wu-Tang Clan

Lindsey: Tell me about how the record industry has changed. How technology has helped or hurt the record industry? It's powerful in that you can put your records out there without the middle man/record labels, but you can't sell music in the same way that you used to.

Ghostface Killah: It's a double-egde sword. I miss the old system at times. It was more hands-on, and it just felt like you had to really work. Everything now seems too easy. It [technology] can be a good thing because you can reach the masses and quick, but record sales went down. So it depends on how you look at it. It can be a good thing and a bad thing. I'm an old school kat, and I understand what's going on now. But you have to move with the times to make it work. Simple as that.

Lindsey: Then steps in a service like Muve – Ghost, how do you feel about these services? Are they helping or hurting the music industry?

Ghostface Killah: They can't hurt. They are paying us for our music. However you need to package it, through a phone or whatever, just package it.
Lindsey: What's next for Ghostface?

Ghostface Killah: I have a new album dropping on April 26th. It's different. I'm trying to do a lot of things that I have never done before. Everything I do is a year or two in advance. I'm working for next year. It's all about the future.

Interview with Sheek Louch of The Lox

Lindsey: Sheek, what do you think about Muve as a service and what it's doing for the music industry?

Sheek Louch: I think it's beautiful. Not only because they bought us out here for SXSW, you know us OG's like myself and Ghostface, but also for what they are doing for the young boys that are coming up. Showcasing their talent is what it's all about.

Lindsey: That's a great political answer, but what about money? Are they paying you?

Sheek Louch: Let me take my shades off and get serious with you. **Takes shades off** I don't do anything if there's no money. It's about getting that paper. Other than that, there is nothing to even talk about. Especially when you've got mortgages and car notes. I'm grown now. If Muve wasn't paying, I wouldn't say anything else about it. Period.

So there you have it. Garnering rapper endorsement, and specifically grown rapper endorsement, Muve seems to be a pretty good service. I also love that Ghostface and Sheek Louch are rolling with the punches, utilizing digital for its infinite power instead of looming in “the record industry has changed” woe-is-me funk.

I hope Muve saves all of your pirate souls and gives you good music-buying karma.

Goodbye Windows 7 Hello Windows 10

  • After 10 years, support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020. Change can be difficult and if you are in the Los Angeles area we are here to help you upgrade to Windows 10 or transferring your data to a new computer.

What does end of support mean?

  • As of January 14, 2020, your computer running Windows 7 will still function but Microsoft will no longer provide security updates and fixes.

Windows Operating System Security

  • You can continue to use your PC running Windows 7, without continued software and security updates but… You will be at greater risk for viruses and malware.
  • The best way for you to stay secure is on Windows 10.
  • Depending on the age of your computer and its specs the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC.
  • While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, we highly suggested cloning your current system to a new solid state hard drive and upgrading to Windows 10 from the new drive with your data still in tact.

Backing up your data is important

  • Backing up your data is a top priority. Windows 10 has a great backup tool for backing up your data regularly to an external hard drive that we suggest setting up after your upgrade to Windows 10 is complete or after your new computer has been set up with all of your data in tact.
  • We highly suggest setting up a cloud data backup along with your local Windows 10 backup using Carbonite, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, or any comparable cloud based backup system.

Gulf Travel Show So Real

The Gulf Travel Show was held in Dubai on the 23rd and 24th of November, with great success.

Normally these type events gather together hundreds of exhibitors, buyers and media, and the Gulf Travel Show did create a lot of interest, with many people visiting online.

San Jeet, the Founder and CEO of DDP Publications organised the event.  I asked him the coronavirus pandemic had thrown plans for a Gulf Travel Show into disarray, but he told me that it was because of coronavirus that drove his plan to stage the event.

Mr Jeet compared the coronavirus to a world war saying that “The coronavirus affected every country, and every nation is trying to save its people.”

He said that the travel industry was on its knees because of coronavirus. Mr Jeet said “We don’t want travel people to lose connections with their counterparts in other countries.”

Hence, his concept for the Gulf Travel Show, to keep people in touch with one and other.

From the point of view of a participant, it was a great experience to meet with people socially online,

There was ease in making appointments, and the ability to browse through the exhibitors virtually, just as you would do if you had a physical presence there.

The enthusiasm of the travel industry people that I met was very enticing, and there was a camaraderie among the participants. News that several vaccines were almost ready to be released gave participants hope that international travel may at last make a comeback.

San Jeet has envisaged a brilliant idea. One, that I’m sure, will be here to stay.

Wimbledon 2017: Muguruza vs. Rybarikova Semifinal Prediction

Will she reach the final for the 2nd time in 3 years?

Garbine Muguruza vs. Magdalena Rybarikova

According to experience and rankings, Garbine Muguruza will be reaching her 3rd major final in as many years.  Will that actually happen?  I don’t think so.  Muguruza is the more powerful player.  Her serve is strong, and her groundstrokes are deadly.  Muguruza reached the 2015 Wimbledon final and could easily duplicate that feat vs. Rybarikova.

I think Rybarikova will win because Muguruza’s main strategy is to overpower an oppoent.  Rybarikova moves well, changes the pace and direction of the ball, and plays with a lot of feel.  Muguruza will need to play a nuanced match or simply hit all of her desired spots serving and off of the ground to win.  I think Muguruza is capable of doing that, but I also think that over time Rybarikova will deny Muguruza of the patterns she likes most and start eliciting errors by slicing and dicing her way into that match.  I believe there will be a totally unexpected finalist as Magdalene Rybarikova will win in 2 or 3 sets.

    I couldn’t agree more. I believe Rybarikova will win in 2 sets.

    1. Dan Martin says:

      We got it wrong, but I loved the reasoning. Muguruza was just on today.

Santa Fe, July 2017

Don Henry, Dave and Melinda Davenport, and Jerry and Lou Ann Jordan provided safe rides and interesting venues. Thank you so much for the great time we had in Santa Fe. There were over 50 people from New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, and Colorado.

Thursday’s ride was to Madrid, NM. This small mining town had so many artists and shops. The group had lunch at the Mine Shaft Tavern.

Friday was a day with no scheduled rides. So the guys made their own plans and rode to the Ski lift area and the afternoon ride was to the south of Santa Fe.

Saturday began with the safety meeting lead by Dave and Melinda Davenport. The following pictures are people in the parking lot.

On selling cleaner bodies…

That’s what the container of Old Spice brand High Endurance Body Wash in the basket suction-cupped to the wall of my shower is shouting at me every morning. Oddly enough, this bottle has been there for weeks, staring me down each time I shower, and I never noticed its bold and delightfully confusing promise until today. Apparently this particular brand of chemically-engineered, perfumed gel-like substance will cause me to be three times (3 times!) cleaner than…well, than something. The bottle doesn’t bother to specify, but I can only assume that before starting to use Old Spice brand High Endurance Body Wash, I was only one third as clean as I am now, probably wandering around, smelling up the world and generally grossing people out.

This morning when I discovered that I was now beginning each day with thisBw_sm  tremendous strategic advantage over the rest of the disgusting, unwashed vagabonds I interact with every day who use some other kind of body wash or, heaven forbid, bar soap, I was reminded of something Amy and I noticed yesterday morning on our way to gather with our little community of unwashed vagabonds (where we probably don’t get anyone three times cleaner than they’d get at other churches, and where we certainly don’t guarantee anything like that). Anyway, as we drove up the avenue named after our current president’s paternal father person, Amy chuckled as she gazed out the window on her side of the car. I glanced over and immediately knew what she’d seen, because I see it almost every day on my way to work. It’s a sign that says this:

Hillel Foundation

The Friendliest Jewish Student Center in the Nation

I’m not sure why that always strikes me as funny, but knowing that it was funny to Amy gave me a little more reason to doubt my own insanity. Now listen, I have nothing against the nice folks in the world who adhere to Judaism [A phrase
which almost always indicates that one does, indeed, have something against the
person or group of people to whom s/he is referring, but which does not
indicate such here for this reason – I don’t know many Jewish people and,
beyond the obvious, I confess to knowing very little about Jewish religion and
culture. If anything, I’m igno-Semitic, but certainly not anti-Semitic. If Jews
run the media and the global economy the way all the paranoid bigots think they
do, I’m none the wiser.] Anyway, as I was saying, I’m all for Jewish Aggies
having a nice place to gather, worship, and enjoy one another’s company. And,
for all I know, this could really be the friendliest Jewish Student Center in
the Nation. I’m just wondering how they know and, moreover, why they feel
compelled to market themselves against other Jewish Student Centers in other
locales. I mean, why not a slogan like, “The Friendliest Religiously-Oriented
Student Center at Texas A&M” or something of the like? What sort of
competitive advantage do they gain by telling Jewish students (who, as far as I
can tell, have no other designatedly-Jewish place to hang out in this community
of gentiles) that This Jewish Student Center is Better Than the Jewish Student
Center at that God-Forsaken university in Austin.

Part of my curiosity is probably rooted in the fact that I just didn’t
realize other religious tribes had entered the murky waters of theistic
marketing that we professing Christians have become so comfortable in. We have
a new non-denominational church in town that recently held its grand opening.
They mailed out fliers to everyone in town that, between production and
postage, certainly cost them several thousand dollars. The fliers, despite
several glaring grammatical errors that made me crazy, were colorful and laded
with stock photos of lots of handsome folks of varying ethnicities, most of
whom have likely never been to Texas or spent any time thinking about whether
people in Texas should attend a new church with exciting worship and relevant
teaching about how to have better families and manage their money better
and….anyway. I guess this is all considered reasonable and necessary these
days, but surely we can come up with some real photos of real people who really
go to your church. I’m terribly tempted to walk into the church, flier in hand,
and ask to meet the nice elderly black couple in the picture. Anyway, we have
another church in town that just started a fifteen minute service on Sunday
mornings for “busy people on the go!” Handy. I’m getting off track.

I’m not angry at any of these folks; I just confess I no longer understand
the desire for those of us who identify ourselves as participants in God’s
Kingdom to put flashy labels on our bottles. What sort of pressure do we feel
to grab our share of the market? Why does the Hillel Foundation need to be the
Friendliest in the Nation to be attractive to its constituency or be confident
in its identity (both bad assumptions about motive, I’m sure)? Why do our
churches invest so much time, money, and identity in developing pretty packages
with labels promising things we can’t guarantee to people who generally don’t
think they need what we’re selling?

I mean, until Old Spice brand High Endurance Body Wash told me it was
already getting me three times cleaner than ______, I hadn’t felt a burning
urge to find a way to be three times cleaner than I was. And, let’s be honest,
there’s no one who works for Old Spice brand High Endurance Body Wash (or its
parent company, the devil worshipping Procter & Gamble) who has the
wherewithal to investigate whether or not I am, indeed, three times cleaner
than when I use my normal routine of Lever 2000 Pure Rain (which, I assume, is
made from lye and, well, pure rain collected somewhere beyond the acidic skies
of the U.S.), so that guarantee probably isn’t worth the manufactured plastic
it’s printed on. And, frankly, by the end of the day, the Old Spice smell is
long gone and I’m no cleaner than the rest of you hosers coated in soap scum.
I’m not sure our churches, by and large, are doing much better than the body
wash people. We’re generally trying to convince people that we can give them
something they’re not really looking for, only to offer more perfume than

Or something like that. It made sense in my head.

[My apologies to the local Hillel Foundation for dragging them into my
musings about gentile religious silliness. I’m confident it’s full of
exceptionally friendly people, and I hope our paths cross sooner or later.]

6 thoughts on “On selling cleaner bodies…

  1. 1) You’re not crazy, but according to some people a crazy man wrote that.
    1.1) It might just be the friendliest Jewish student center…after all, it is in Texas.
    Power to the kosher peeps

  2. Jews are fun folks and INCREDIBLY friendly. I mean, didn’t you see the fair treatment the invading aliens received in Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”? HE WROTE THEM A WELCOME SONG FOR GOD’S SAKE! A pompous Aryan director would never make the same efforts(see Emmerick’s Independence Day). I believe their suffering as a people group for, you know, millenia, has given them a certain sympathy for the down-trodden and I for one applaud JEWS EVERYWHERE for being the FRIENDLIEST darn folks around.

  3. Also, I know those guys over there at the soon-to-be-mega-church that does the flyers. I know all three of their staff guys by some VERY odd coincidence. They are good folks who love God and people; they are just doing the deal the best they know how. I know that you and I scratch our heads (perhaps it’s the body wash) at their crazy antics and their contamination of the Kingdom with American business practices — but I find it increasingly difficult to go after folks who do as they’ve been instructed to do by a religious system that says “this is how you do church today”. They’ve sat in classes and read books that say “this is the way, walk ye in it”. The best I can do is saddle up next to them, love ’em, and speak as truthfully as I can. Don’t get me wrong, it is as disgusting for me as it is for everyone who looks on with jaws dropped and brows furrowed– but “they will know us by our love” haunts the hell out of this soul of mine. I can’t knowingly do violence to this Body in which I am apart or bitch slap the Lord’s Bride — He won’t smile on that, I don’t think.

  4. Good thoughts, Mark. I’m not against you, and I hope I haven’t been cruel or condemning toward people in my commments. I think I’m more interested in asking the kinds of questions I asked than I am in throwing out wholesale condemnation theses days, though I can certainly be guilty of the latter in less redeeming moments. I’ve been a part of a church plant much like the one I refer to, and I value that experience and love those people. I’m not even opposed to public messaging, per se. There’s just a way of doing things that I’m increasingly uncomfortable with, and I wonder how we can lovingly poke around the assumptions, motives, and behaviors that we’ve taken on to help each other live more fully as partakers of the Kingdom. Even though I think there’s a place for talking honestly about the absurdity of some of what we do (and I do mean we), I’m more interested all the time in how we can communicate, love, and affirm one another across divides of theology, lifestyle, and practice.

  5. Good words by both Fad and Ace (no, twas not too over the top, amigo).
    I would like to throw in that the boys at P&G would absolutely NOT have used that 3X terminology without it meaning SOMETHING. I happen to know a big, big boy on the Old Spice line (his name is Chris Heirert), and I will ask him about this stupidity. I can’t stand when I see things like “GUARANTEED!” on a product label. What does that mean? Guaranteed–or what? What’s the guarantee?

  6. Yes, I am quite interested in this little investigation. My sincere hope is that the guarantee means this:
    If independent inspectors do not determine that you are, three times as clean as _____ (a monkey?), the nice folks at Old Spice brand High Endurance Body Wash will come to your home and meticulously scrub you until you are “3X CLEAN.” Now that, friends, would be a guarantee.

By Martha Wright, Conference Team Member

On Saturday 10th November, a keen troupe of enthusiastic Conference Team members gathered in the chilly but expansive grounds of De Vere Wokefield Park, near Reading, for a guided tour of our exciting new Conference venue.

Representing the teams were Lucy and Seth from the Sponsorship, Martha from the Entertainment, Josette from Comms & Marketing, Meera from Keynotes and our ever trusty Deans, Dilip and Maria, who had to get up at stupid o’clock to be there, but who were still smiling!

The exhibition area

First we looked around “The Street”, an airy, light and spacious area which will be home for our sponsors, and the main mingling hub during the Conference.  We then saw the restaurant and bar areas which will host Thursday evening’s activities, before continuing on to explore the conference rooms themselves.  They are all roomy, with loads of natural light and wonderfully comfy chairs!

The Mansion House

Finally, we stepped outside for a short picturesque amble to the Mansion House, the stunning Georgian property which will be the setting for our glamorous gala dinner dance on Friday evening!  We don’t want to give away too much at this stage, but prepare for a night of sparkle and fun!

So, you officially have the ABP Conference Team’s seal of approval for the new venue – it really is going to be the best Conference ever!

Magical Marriage Lunatics Crack PC Game CODEX Torrent Free Download

Magical Marriage Lunatics Crack PC Game CODEX Torrent Free Download

Magical Marriage Lunatics Crack I’m not sure why, but I couldn’t get into the story or connect with the characters, and I felt almost disconnected from what was going on. None of the girls seemed to have a complete romantic bow, particularly given the unusual circumstances in which they entered Yuta’s life, where he was already planning to marry him. Since you can’t see the relationship grow from the beginning, you lose a sense of control over the final climax and the challenges they face along the way, resulting in Magical Marriage Lunatics for pc, in emotional detachment. I don’t have the same level of empathy for the characters as I do for other games, and the scenes didn’t take long to feel the same way.

Magical Marriage Lunatics Codex There are common mistakes in the continuum when it comes. On the one hand, there are games like To of Grisaia, which are either eroge adaptations of the title’s period, or where the plot is the focus of the fair, with H-scenes focusing on its creation, characters, and relationships. On the other hand, you have a doll that is the main subject of the H scenes, and Magical Marriage Lunatics for windows the plot primarily serves to bind them. When I play eroge, I generally gravitate toward the extremes of the continuum, such as the games mentioned above, as well as games that are closer to the center.

Magical Marriage Lunatics Free Download

The mystical madness’ voice activation is excellent, with some of the highlights of certain characters standing out. Julia’s shy nervousness and Karin’s enthusiastic simplicity are immediately apparent, but I’m not sure whether it stands out or whether their characters would have had more personality to work with. The rest of the sound design is standard Moonstone farewell, with the emphasis on light and movement, but the dramatic moments often match the atmosphere and music to match the Magical Marriage Lunatics Patch, mood. The popular route often sounds more like a series of isolated incidents with no overall sense of continuity than a single narrative.

Magical Marriage Lunatics Game is a well-crafted entry from a venerable studio, and the only major disappointment is the lack of a harem ending. It hits both romantic and comedic notes with ease. Each heroine builds a new house behind Yuta’s house, with illustrations showing a new platform height, at the beginning of the game with an empty hill up. In some ways, the drama is heartwarming, at least for a brief moment when you’re missing a tune. However, with such a pleasant piece of art and Magical Marriage Lunatics IGG-Game general humor, it’s difficult to imagine that the game ends badly and that there are no bad manners. The few more exotic scenes are a welcome change of pace from the otherwise bland experience.

My work pants don’t fit.

I recently tried on my work pants that I haven’t worn since February of this year. To my horror, I could barely close them and sitting was not an option. I have come to realize that I have gained too much weight this quarantine season and I need to lose it.

My girlfriend and I started incorporating more fruits and veggies into our diet about one month ago. We don’t really eat out, but I love to bake and my pastries and cookies became a substitute for fruits and veggies, so we inevitably gained weight. We also started walking at a local park last week. Lastly, today we started participating alongside a workout video; we will do this every morning at 7 AM for 30 days (there is one rest day per week).

The video above is the torture we have decided to put ourselves through. I currently weigh 141 pounds and I am by no means heavily overweight. I’m not looking to lose a certain number of pounds- I simply want to fit comfortably into my work pants again. I’ve gained 90% of this extra weight in my belly/waist area, so that’s the region I’m trying to make smaller (currently 36 inches). We’ll see how this goes.

My summer class (Corporate Finance) has come to an end and I passed with an A. School starts on August 24th and my 4 classes are all classified as “blended learning”. I have yet to discover what that will actually mean, but professors have until August 10th to let us know.

That’s all for now, folks.

There were stories of great gallantry from the Beersheba Charge on October 31 1917. Here are a few of them.

battle of beershebaJack Cox (Warrant Officer Sergeant Arthur John ‘Jack’ Cox) from Bendigo saw a group of Turks with a machine gun that they were setting up to fire at close range from the side of the advancing Light Horsemen. Cox saw the carnage this gun could cause, veered his horse around at 90 degrees from the advancing line and headed straight for the gunners yelling at them and bluffed them into surrendering. As a lone rider he opened himself up to be easy prey for Turkish snipers but he only saw the danger to others if he had not acted immediately. This one man single-handedly took 40 prisoners and saved many more lives from a barrage of machine gun fire. He was recommended for a Victoria Cross but given a Distinguished Conduct Medal.

Trooper Sloan ‘Scotty’ Bolton from Geelong, acting alone, chased down a gun pulled by six horses and their riders, led by a German officer who was trying to escape. Bolton lost his rifle, picked up a revolver but found it was empty. Undeterred, he knocked the officer out of the saddle with the butt of the revolver and forced the group to return with the gun. He also received a Distinguished Conduct Medal.

battle of beersheba 1There were also some sad tales. Midnight and his rider, Lieutenant Guy Haydon, were two of the casualties that day. Midnight was born at midnight on October 31, 1905 on the Bloomfield stud property in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Guy was 16 when she was born and she became Guy’s special horse. They enlisted together with to his brother, Barney, and his horse, Polo. Guy was in the 12th Light Horse regiment that day. A bullet went through Midnight’s stomach as she jumped the trench, continued through the saddle and lodged in Guy’s back, millimetres from his spine. The bullet was removed a few days’ later and Guy recovered but Midnight did not. This magnificent black thoroughbred had sacrificed her life but saved Guy’s. His family still have the bullet that was removed.

battle of beersheba 2Albert ‘Tibbie’ Cotter was a renowned fast bowler from Sydney who played in the Ashes series from 1903 to 1912, when he quit as one of the Big 6, who objected to the new board management which took all power away from the players. Cotter was instrumental in changing the game of cricket as he was the first to use the bouncer as an intimidation tactic, and bowl with a full quota of slips. He was also a hard-hitting tail-end batsman. He joined the 12th Light Horse, but not being a great horseman, he served in Gallipoli and the Sinai as a stretcher-bearer. This took courage as they were unarmed and bore only a white armband with a red cross to identify them. They had to run into the battlefield and drag the injured to safety. He is thought to have been killed by a shot from a Turkish soldier who had surrendered, but who turned his hidden gun on his captor – a tactic used on several occasions. His brother was also killed the same month on the Western Front. Cotter is buried in the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Beersheba.

battle of beersheba 3Lt Col Leslie Maygar from Kilmore, Victoria, had won a Victoria Cross in South Africa. He had commanded the 8th Light Horse from 1915 and survived Gallipoli. On October 31 his luck ran out when he was badly injured in the arm by fire from a German plane. His horse was also hit and bolted carrying him away from the camp. By the time he was found, he had lost a lot of blood. He died the next day from a haemorrhage following the amputation of his arm. He was awarded a Distinguished Service Order after the 2nd battle of Gaza when his regiment was very exposed to fire but he continued to inspire and encourage his troops, endangering himself to support his men.

Today I drove to Kendall to try to see my daughter and once again I was deprived of my right to do so. After my unsuccessful attempt of reuniting with my princess, I then went to a supermarket to buy groceries with a food stamp that a dear friend kindly gave me to use. Coincidentally, as I was being rang up at the register, I was thinking how despite everything and the injustice that I am living, I was still very much at peace with myself knowing that this is just an experience and that soon everything will be fine.

Then, to my surprise I hear the cashier say “Sir, your total is $44.44”. I immediately looked at the screen and it made me immensely happy to see 4444 which is a powerful angel number that has been part of my spiritual path for the past 3 years just like 1111. Nothing is ever an accident and this is one of many ways the Universe communicates with us.

I am grateful for each experience, even the painful ones because life is full of lessons and they each bring a huge opportunity for self growth. 😇❤✨

Angel Number 4444 and its Meaning. … The angel number 4444 signifies hard work. It’s telling you that all your hard work will soon be paying off. All the sacrifices of the past few months will finally be rewarded, and all your efforts will soon be recognized. You should be very proud of yourself!

Give Up the Girl Chase: How to Have Her Chasing You

girl chaseOur goal at The Art of Charm isn’t to teach you how to chase women better; we want you to give up the girl chase entirely and get them chasing you. Sound far-fetched? It’s not. What’s more, getting her to chase you is a lot easier than you probably think.

Why Women Chase Men

Make no mistake about it: Women chase men. But what type of man does a woman chase after? Most of all, a woman is going to chase after a confident man with a high value. “High value” doesn’t mean that he’s got the best job or that he’s the most attractive. It means that he’s able to make those around him feel comfortable and good about themselves. More than anything else, it means that he values himself a lot — not the fake value that comes with arrogance, but the quiet, understated value of a man who doesn’t feel he needs to prove himself to anyone.

You can become this type of man. Until that day comes, you can pretend effectively enough to convince everyone around you by following these simple rules.

Rule #1: You Come First

This rule comes first for a reason: You need to come first in your life. This means before you can have a vibrant social and dating life, that you need to have your own house in order. The first priority is your work and career, the two priorities that make all overs possible. Next, you need to make time for your passions, interests and hobbies. These are an important part of you, one that you shouldn’t skimp out on.

Not only does this increase your value by sending a subtle message that you value yourself, it also says that your time is valuable and finite. You only have so much to spend on other people, which brings us to our next rule.

[xyz-ihs snippet=”Accelerator-General”]

Rule #2: You Don’t Have Time For Everyone

It’s just a simple fact: You only have so much time, and you have even less to spend on other people. This means that you have to prioritize how you’re going to spend your time, with yourself coming first. After that, you need to prioritize who you spend your surplus time with. Don’t feel like you have to date every woman that you meet and are attracted to. Instead, save your time for the ones that you like the most. Imagine that you have a smartphone filled with the most desirable women in the world. Now evaluate which new women you meet that you have enough time for.

Rule #3: Don’t Be Afraid to Walk Away

There are two things that “walk away” can mean: First, it can mean taking a quick break from an interaction at a bar, taking a lap around the room, meeting back up with your friends, grabbing a drink and then connecting back up with the woman you were just talking to. It can also mean walking away from a relationship for good.

Either way, you shouldn’t be afraid to do it. It shows that you value your time and your energy. It also shows that you don’t need another person to feel good about yourself or even to have a good time. Before a conversation at a bar or club even starts to lag a bit, take a lap. If a relationship isn’t working out, walk away.

From determined newbie to sport tourer for life

Joshua Giannini’s first long-distance motorcycle ride

As the baby boomers, who lived through the “golden age” of motorcycling, begin graying out, the motorcycling community needs more riders like Josh Giannini.

A young man, and relatively new motorcyclist from King of Prussia, Pa., Giannini recently completed his first long-distance motorcycle trip.

Riding a small-displacement machine about 3,000 miles through sun, wind, rain and snow, Giannini never wavered in his determination to complete his journey, and in doing so found a life-long passion for two-wheeled exploration.

It is a passion that only those of us who ride to explore can understand, and it is something our entire community needs to do a better job growing if our lifestyle is to be carried on by future generations.

An interview over burritos

I met Josh while I was having lunch on the patio at the Chipotle restaurant across International Speedway Blvd. from Daytona International Speedway during 2019 Daytona Bike Week. I was pounding out a story for work when I noticed Josh parking his Honda CBR300R. There are lots of small-displacement motorcycles running around Daytona Beach during Bike Week, but not many have soft saddlebags attached to them.

Josh Giannini and his 2016 Honda CBR300R

I was intrigued by the prospect that someone had toured their way to Daytona Beach on a single-cylinder, 300cc sport bike, but figured he wouldn’t have ridden in from too far away. I asked him about where he’d started riding from, and when he said, “Philadelphia,” my interest was piqued.

After allowing him to eat his lunch in peace while I finished what I was working on, I asked Josh if he could talk more about his trip on the record. Obviously, he obliged.

Love at first ride

Giannini said he began riding motorcycles in August 2018 and credits a close friend of his for getting him into riding.

“I knew I was searching for something in my life,” he said. “One of my friends learned to ride from his uncle and got a 2017 Yamaha R3. He got super passionate about it and taught me how to ride.”

Giannini said from the first time he swung a leg over his friend’s machine he knew motorcycling was what he had been looking for. He described the experience as, “love at first ride.”

Unlike most riders who gradually build up the tolerance for long distance riding, Giannini said he had about 1,500 miles of riding experience before embarking on his first-ever long-distance motorcycle ride.

“I think the longest ride I had done before this was from King of Prussia to Philadelphia,” Giannini said. “That’s only about 30 minutes.”

The trip was not supposed to be a solo effort. Giannini said he had planned the trip with a friend who was an experienced rider and had remained committed to the trip even after his friend backed out.

His said his parents were not exactly in favor of him taking the trip.

“My family is very against motorcycles, as a lot of parents are,” he said.

He didn’t tell them he was planning the trip until he was about to head out the door.

“They were very upset as first, but I think they realized how important this is to me,” he said. “They warmed up to it and are now super excited that I made it.”

Gettin’ ready for the open (and cold) road

To his credit, Giannini added some farkles to his little Honda that made his first touring experience a success. Realizing he wasn’t going to be able to fit everything he needed for the trip in a backpack, Giannini purchased a set of SW-Motech soft saddlebags.

He realized early in his trip planning that he would need something to combat the cold temperatures and a better seat, so he installed a set of heated grips and an Air Hawk seat cushion.

Giannini picked up his last farkle on his way out of town, riding to Cycle Gear in Allentown, Pa., to purchase a Sedici tank bag.

The long and snowy interstate

Giannini’s journey to warm, sunny Daytona Beach, Fla., began under adverse conditions.

He said it was about 18 degrees, snow on the ground and light flurries when he left the Allentown Cycle Gear parking lot and began heading south toward Daytona Beach.

He said the ride to Daytona didn’t end up being exactly the way he had envisioned it. He had hoped to take his time and ride as many scenic routes as possible in warmer conditions.

“When I was planning this December, I figured it would be a lot warmer this time of year, and it’s not,” he said. “I ended up trying to get here as quickly as possible and stayed on I-95. It was a lot more difficult than I was anticipating.”

He said the low point of his trip was the previous night. He was staying in a hotel in Jacksonville and was physically and mentally exhausted from putting in 600 interstate miles that day. Though his outlook on his endeavor had darkened, it became as bright as the sun when he arrived in Daytona Beach.

“I was really contemplating why I did this and was thinking it wasn’t worth it,” he said. “But when I saw that Daytona Beach sign, got off the highway, and saw all of these motorcycles everywhere, I realized this trip was worth every second of hardship.”

Giannini said he spent most of his first day at Daytona Bike Week in the vendor area at Daytona International Speedway and was planning to head over to Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson that evening. His plan was to stay in Daytona Beach for the weekend, but he was considering staying longer.

He said he was planning on taking three days to ride back to Philadelphia and was expecting the return trip to be easier than the ride down.

“I was worried about missing things going on down here and wanted to make sure I got to Daytona Beach in time,” he said. “I feel like I can take my time more on the ride home now.”

Advice and the future

For others who are planning their first long-distance motorcycle trip, Giannini’s advice is not to worry too much and just do it.

“I think I’ve proven a point here that you can do this on a bike that’s really designed for beginners,” he said.

The trip has also changed what Giannini is looking for in his next motorcycle. He said he was previously thinking of getting a bigger sport bike. With the desire to explore now firmly a part of his psyche, he’s now considering naked bikes that are better suited for long distance riding.

As for his next touring destination, Giannini said he’s interested in riding to Sturgis or exploring the old Route 66.

I saw Giannini again in Daytona Beach when I was covering the sights and sounds of Main Street the night of Monday, March 11. He said he had been having a great time at Daytona Bike Week since we met.

He said he took my advice and went to the Monster Energy AMA Supercross event at Daytona International Speedway on March 9 and had a great time at the event. He also said he was following through on his plan to leave the next day, but would definitely be back next year.

After I got home from Daytona Beach, Giannini sent me an email that said he made it home safely from Daytona. He said the trip ended up being about 3,000 miles.

“The experience was incredible and without a doubt one of the greatest things I have ever done in my life,” he wrote.

The Takeaway

Giannini’s story is a happy one, in that it ends with him discovering the passion to explore on two wheels, as well as an infusion of youth into the motorcycle sport touring community. While the challenges he persevered through on his first long distance journey are remarkable, his perseverance is the heart of this story.

Giannini showed great poise in his preparations for the trip (adding the heated grips and seat cushion) and remained committed to the journey despite all of the unknowns he faced. He had very little riding experience and rode his undersized machine on roads he may have never seen before.

He was willing to do all of that. Not many other riders may have been willing to take that leap. While I am happy to welcome Giannini to our community, it is imperative we realize that we cannot depend on having people like him come along and replace those who are graying out.

Each of us needs to take a more proactive role in helping new riders have positive experiences like Giannini did in Daytona Beach. We need to make them feel welcome, teach them what we have learned through trial and error and show them that there’s so much to learn and explore and experience as a sport touring rider.

For us, the journey is never over. There’s always something more to see, to learn, to do. Giannini now knows what we knows and his life will be ever better for it. It’s time that each of us did more, even just a little more, so that the passion and the happiness only we know reaches as many people as it can.
