Double pumping

The benefits of double pumping (simultaneous breast expression) compared to single pumping (one breast followed by the other breast), are well known. The latest scientific research has not only confirmed this, but has also uncovered further benefits for pumping mothers. They include increased milk output, an additional milk ejection and milk with a higher energy content.

Increased milk output

Optimising milk removal

While studies previously described improvements in milk output when double pumping, what remained unclear was the possible mechanism driving this increased volume. This potential mechanism has been elucidated in recent research (Prime et al. 2012). The study investigated mothers of term born infants, who participated in two pumping sessions, in a randomised order. On one day, the mothers double pumped for 15 minutes and on the other day, they single pumped sequentially for 15 minutes. The unique approach of this study was that a milk flow rate measurement device was used to measure milk ejection.

Dr Prime states: “Double pumping is not only faster, but it is more effective in removing milk. It stimulates an additional milk ejection. This results in 18 per cent more milk volume being pumped over a 15-minute pumping duration. Therefore more milk of higher fat content is removed, leading to better breast drainage and milk of a higher caloric value.”

Download the infographic here: "Optimising milk removal"

An additional milk ejection

The neuro-hormonal milk ejection reflex, with the key hormone oxytocin, is crucial for milk removal and maintenance of lactation. Milk is only available from the breast during milk ejections which are short, discrete increases in intra-ductal pressure, milk duct diameter and milk flow rate.

Milk ejections occur in both breasts at the same time, with the total number of milk ejections ranging from  2 - 14 between mothers (Prime et al. 2011a).  This explains why milk removal varies between mothers; some mothers will remove milk quickly while others will need a little more time. While there is variation between mothers, for an individual mother the pattern of milk ejection is very consistent over the first year of lactation (Prime et al. 2011b).

When milk ejections were measured during double and single pumping, it became clear why double pumping yielded more milk volume and drained the breast better - an additional milk ejection occurred during double pumping.

The advantages of double pumping

Milk with a higher energy content

After double pumping for 15 minutes, the fat content of the total amount of pumped milk was 8.3 per cent,  significantly higher than the 7.3 per cent measured during single pumping.

This is important for the following reasons:

  • During breastfeeding/pumping, the fat content of the milk increases steadily. When milk has a higher fat content, it means that the breast has been drained better which is the case when double pumping.
  • It is known that good breast drainage is very important for maintaining and increasing milk supply
  • Milk with a higher fat content can be very important for babies that are not growing well.

Preterm babies’ small stomachs can only take very small volumes of milk, so it is essential to make sure that the milk is of high caloric value.

It is important to note that the overall results obtained during double pumping are not superior to what the infant is able to do during breastfeeding. The advantage of double pumping is that the results are closer to what the baby is able to do when feeding at the breast, and superior to what is obtained when sequentially single pumping.

On the day the mothers double pumped:

  • 18 per cent more milk volume was expressed on average
  • A higher percentage of the available milk in the breasts was removed
  • The pumped milk had a higher energy content
  • An additional milk ejection occurred
Increased milk output with double pumping
Study abstract
Simultaneous breast expression in breastfeeding women is more efficacious than sequential breast expression

Simultaneous (SIM) breast expression saves mothers time compared with sequential (SEQ) expression, but it remains unclear whether the two methods differ in milk output efficiency ...

30 Days Of Genius Blog: Tim Ferriss

March 21, 2017

When the world can look at an individual and collectively say, “How in the hell does he do all that?” You know you are dealing with someone special. Tim Ferriss, the author, blogger, podcast host, TV host, world champion ballroom dancer, angel investor, advisor, and Chinese kickboxing champion shares his thoughts on creating a life that has allowed him to accomplish so much.

I have taken his interview on 30 Days of Genius with Chase Jarvis, extracted the information, and used it to answer common questions by readers just like you, who are looking to take their lives to the next level, or at least a different level than the one they are on.

Please enjoy.

How Do I Reach My Goals?

The first thing you need to ask yourself is, “Am I putting in the time?” It is so easy to make the “I don’t have time” excuse. If you don’t have time, there is no pressure to get off your butt and start producing, is there?

Without putting in the time you will never be able to reach any goal worth striving for.

To be clear, it is not finding time, it is making time. It’s not going to be handed to you.

Secondly, you need to ask yourself is, “Am I making this harder than it needs to be?”

People tend to focus on being busy as opposed to being productive. As long as you are moving you are moving in the right direction. Sound familiar? If you are not reflecting on your goals, and your actions to reach those goals, you may be moving, but it is most likely in a circle.

Do not put in more work than is necessary to accomplish the goal. I ask myself, what would it look like if it were easy? That helps me filter through my thoughts and actions to a more streamlined approach.

If you are having a hard time getting started at all, you are probably looking at the project as a whole, which is daunting and intimidating.

Start small.

Give yourself smaller goals to reach each day. As long as those actions help you reach the larger goal, you are in good shape.

Writing a book? Have a quota of 2 pages a day. If you feel like writing more, go for it, but you have already had a successful writing day. The trick is to rig the game so you can win. The more you win, the more you do, the more you do, the more you get done. This will build more confidence, while at the same time build momentum for the overall project. Before you know it, you will have a book!

Obviously the book is just an example. Whatever your project is, if you are having trouble starting, work backwards, find the things you need to be doing at the beginning, then set low, highly achievable goals to reach every day that build towards the finished product. You will be blowing past your quotas in no time because you will be building up the momentum, your creativity, and the fire to get it done.

It all boils down to habits, and forming those habits. You need to have things in place in your life to help you form good habits. Routines are HUGE for me. Why get up every morning and reinvent the wheel? Have a system in place that puts you in the best mental and physical space to work. You will save time in the long run, have a clearer head, and get more done. Have a routine in the mornings and evenings. Make sure you are getting good sleep, it is the foundation of a productive day.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but the more crazy and neurotic you are, the more you need routines and structure. So get them in place ASAP.

“Productivity” Tricks For The Neurotic, Manic-Depressive, and Crazy (Like Me) — article

Practice systems thinking. Not every project needs to be a win, but it needs to add to the bigger picture. Make sure that the various aspects of the projects that you are working on are giving you skills, or a network, that you can use for the next project, and the bigger picture.

How Do I Become Successful?

Success is a state of mind.

What is your definition of success?

This is different for everyone, so I will give you some general advice.

Good work is the best SEO in the world. If your product or service sucks, then your marketing and advertising will only be letting EVERYONE know that you suck. Do good work. You need to be different, and you need to be better. Blending in will do you and your goals no good.

One very important way to be successful is to feel successful. Celebrate the small wins along the way. If you don’t enjoy them on the way up, you won’t be able to enjoy them at the top. I have a container called, The Jar Of Awesome. Cheesy name, but it comes in very handy on days when I am down. Every day I write down something I am grateful for that day, and I put it in the jar. If I have a day where I am not feeling so hot, or very confident, I can go back and reminisce about all the wonderful things that have happened to me. We tend to forget the good things along the way. This is an easy and effective way to remind ourselves when we need it most.

It is also important to practice mindfulness. If you are constantly thinking about the next thing, you are never enjoying the thing right in front of you. I use TM (transcendental meditation), but there are apps like Headspace and Calm that work wonderfully as well. This helps me stay present during the day, and react to things appropriately as opposed to emotionally. Being in the moment has huge benefits, especially if you are in high stress situations. Emotional decisions can be disastrous.

How Do I Continue To Get Better?

Push yourself.

Try new things.

Give yourself the chance to see things with beginner’s eyes. The more you stretch your mind and learn

new things, the more you can bring back to what you already know. It will give you more perspective to add, which is growth an-and-of itself.

Put constraints on the things you produce. Get out of your comfort zone and you will continually grow. Once you learn to do a lot with little, you can do a lot with a lot. Constantly looking for new perspectives, new ways to attack problems will give you a bigger arsenal to work with later. Give yourself that freedom. Force growth.

Be creative. Don’t take things too seriously, it is a creative killer. Be absurd. Do things just for the hell of it (within reason of course).

“With a type-A personality it is easy to feel like if you are not burning the candle at both ends you are not doing a good job”

”Focus on your unique abilities, and work won’t feel hard or forced.”

“You are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with”

Boston Symphony Orchestra, 1963-1969

Erich Leinsdorf conducts Beethoven and Tchaikovsky Boston Symphony Orchestra, 1963-1969

Throughout his career, Leinsdorf's skill, reliability, efficiency and comprehensive repertoire kept him busy in the recording studio

Perhaps one reason why this performance is so remarkable is that Leinsdorf approaches the over-familiar music so freshly; he is not taking the old warhorse out for a comfortable trot. More to the point is Leinsdorf's insight, his rigorous observance of the markings in the score, his disinclination to wallow in traditional but distended rubato, not to mention a degree of involvement and emotional intensity he is not often given credit for because he did not invariably display it. His years in the opera house have taught him about character and drama in music. Once again, his face is impassive, but his eyes are eloquent and at points even frightening.

Another important factor is the solidity, flexibility and brilliance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's playing, which the musicians seem to take for granted, even if Leinsdorf does not. All of the now-legendary principal players shine.

The Impact

Patients and Families

The MPA aims to offer tremendous peace of mind for patients and their families. They will find it easier to navigate the health care system and will see a reduction in the number of visits to health professionals.

This last point is especially important in the case of seniors and those with small children for whom travel can itself worsen their mental or physical condition. Expected outcomes include:

  • Integrated care with the potential to increase medication adherence of patients by 40%
  • Increased medication adherence leading to decreased costs. For example, proper treatment for depression and hypertension can result in a 12.5 per cent decrease in emergency room visits6 and a 17 per cent decrease in hospitalization rates7, respectively
  • A 30 per cent reduction in hospitalization for patients with both a physical and mental illness, extrapolating from the above figures
  • Improved attendance and performance at work and school
  • Decreased mortality due to reduction in heart failure
  • Improved quality of care for mental health patients

The exact pathogenesis of the thrombotic occlusion of the central retinal vein is not known. Various local and systemic factors play a role in the pathological closure of the central retinal vein. [3, 6, 7]

The central retinal artery and vein share a common adventitial sheath as they exit the optic nerve head and pass through a narrow opening in the lamina cribrosa. Because of this narrow entry in the lamina cribrosa, the vessels are in a tight compartment with limited space for displacement. This anatomical position predisposes to thrombus formation in the central retinal vein by various factors, including slowing of the blood stream, changes in the vessel wall, and changes in the blood.

Arteriosclerotic changes in the central retinal artery transform the artery into a rigid structure and impinge upon the pliable central retinal vein, causing hemodynamic disturbances, endothelial damage, and thrombus formation. This mechanism explains the fact that there may be an associated arterial disease with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). However, this association has not been proven consistently, and various authors disagree on this fact.

Thrombotic occlusion of the central retinal vein can occur as a result of various pathologic insults, including compression of the vein (mechanical pressure due to structural changes in lamina cribrosa, eg, glaucomatous cupping, inflammatory swelling in optic nerve, orbital disorders); hemodynamic disturbances (associated with hyperdynamic or sluggish circulation); vessel wall changes (eg, vasculitis); and changes in the blood (eg, deficiency of thrombolytic factors, increase in clotting factors).

Occlusion of the central retinal vein leads to the backup of the blood in the retinal venous system and increased resistance to venous blood flow. This increased resistance causes stagnation of the blood and ischemic damage to the retina. It has been postulated that ischemic damage to the retina stimulates increased production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the vitreous cavity. Increased levels of VEGF stimulate neovascularization of the posterior and anterior segment (responsible for secondary complications due to CRVO). Also, it has been shown that VEGF causes capillary leakage leading to macular edema (which is the leading cause of visual loss in both ischemic CRVO and nonischemic CRVO).

The prognosis of CRVO depends upon the reestablishment of patency of the venous system by recanalization, dissolution of clot, or formation of optociliary shunt vessels.

The British first developed the idea of individually replaceable cooling tubes held in headers with rubber seals during WWII desert tank warfare. The concept had these advantages: spacer The flexible seals would allow damaged tubes to be removed and replaced even under combat conditions. spacer The seals would absorb vibration, pounding and thermal shock that would cause conventional radiators to leak.Following WWII, Rolls-Royce motor cars and commercial vehicles were equipped with these radiators. In the early ‘50s, the radiator core first appeared on haul trucks in Canadian ore mines in Labrador.In 1957, L&M Radiator acquired the rights to the concept and brought the radiator to the Minnesota Mesabi Iron Range. With rapid acceptance of the “MESABI® Radiator” in the mining industry, the concept grew in popularity worldwide as both an OEM and aftermarket product for all mobile and stationary heavy-duty equipment.Today, the MESABI® replaceable tube concept, first developed for engine cooling, has been applied by L&M Radiator to all types of heavy-duty equipment heat transfer. MESABI® heat exchangers are the world standard for heat transfer reliability.

Significant L&M Radiator dates:

  • 1957 – L&M Radiator founded by George Langer (L) and Clay Murray (M) in Hibbing, Minnesota, U.S.A.
  • 1961 – Alex Chisholm (Clay Murray's son-in-law) joins L&M Radiator
  • 1967 – Second plant opens in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico
  • 1972 – Third plant opens in Western Australia
  • 1980 – Fourth plant opens in El Paso, Texas, U.S.A.
  • 2005 – Fifth plant opens in Independence, Iowa, U.S.A.
  • 2007 – Sixth plant opens in Yankton, South Dakota, U.S.A.
  • 2011 – Seventh plant opens in Antofagasta, Chile. Plants in Independence, IA, and Yankton, SD, expanded. El Paso, TX, plant moves to larger manufacturing facility in Las Cruces, NM. L&M continues in its third generation of family ownership and management.

Detroit is home to several notable genres, Motown and rock ’n’ roll topping the list. But in recent years, Detroit appears to be a breeding ground for a rock subgenre of the extraterrestrial variety. Diabolical space rock sludge is a thing now (because we said so) and Detroit’s premier blood cult SpaceSkull is absolutely doing the damn thing. SpaceSkull joins the bill with the Blitzers’ Jon Berz, Adam Greener, Brandon Habermas, and Paul Wolfe, who are celebrating the release of their second EP, Noble Rot.

Three people shot outside Texas gay bar, police searching for shooter

Police believe the shooter opened fire after getting kicked out of Pegasus nightclub

Pegasus Nightclub – Photo: Facebook

Police in San Antonio, Texas, are searching for a shooter who left three people hospitalized after opening fire outside a nightclub on the city’s gay strip.

The shooting occurred after midnight on Monday morning, outside Pegasus nightclub. San Antonio Express-News reports that a fight broke out around 12:20 a.m., which prompted two suspects to get into a car and open fire on a crowd at a taco stand as they drove away.

Two men and a woman, all in their 20s, were hospitalized, and police say none of their injuries are life-threatening.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus described the shooter as a man in his 40s, who was likely an “angry patron who probably had too much to drink and was kicked out of the club.”

McManus said that police don’t believe the shooting was a hate crime, and didn’t know whether the suspect had any prior relationship with the victims.

Mike Rodriguez, manager of Pegasus, told News 4 that the initial fight broke out after a dispute over food.

“A nicely dressed gentleman was ordering food,” he said. “The guy behind him I guess got irritated that he couldn’t make up his mind, called him a name. They started to push and shove each other. Our security broke it up, kept one inside, and took the other one outside, just to separate them. The one inside kept on yelling through the fence names at the other one and he got upset, and at that point, he walked off.”

Rodriguez added: “Then a couple minutes later he came back here to the stop sign and he had a gun and he shot three times in the air. They called me to the front and I came to the front and I told all the customers, everybody, to get inside, and started pushing people inside.”

Rodriguez said they managed to clear everyone out of Pegasus’ outside area, but he thinks the man “got in his car, drove around the block behind us and came down this road and open-fired at the gate.”

According to Rodriguez, none of the victims hit by the gunfire were involved in the initial argument.

Rodriguez told KSAT 12 that he intends to “beef up security. More than likely get an armed guard presence here, be more vigilant.”

Police are canvassing the area for witnesses and security camera footage to find anything related to the men, or the red Nissan sedan they fled the scene in.

Cristiano Musillo: Leading Italy’s efforts in Florida, Southeast, Caribbean

The name of the Consulate General for Italy in Miami is something of a misnomer, according to Consul General Cristiano Musillo, who this year will celebrate two decades of service as a foreign diplomat.

Though headquartered in Coral Gables, the office over which Mr. Musillo has presided since August 2018 has an expansive jurisdiction, encompassing Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina, as well nearly all of the Caribbean except Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

“It’s a huge part of the world with a lot of people living here, and it’s not so easy to manage all the problems that arise,” he said. “We succeed by having an established network of honorary consuls – approximately 18 honorary representatives in several parts of this jurisdiction, an effective network to help Italian nationals and create opportunities for businesses.”

In response to the earthquake that struck Puerto Rico in September, one such honorary consul took action, he said, to aid the more than 600 Italian nationals there and the local community and relay crucial information back to his office.

“It’s essential for us to have this kind of network,” he said.

According to its most recent figures, the Consulate General of Italy in Miami’s jurisdiction covers about 2 million Italian-Americans and almost 45,000 Italian citizens, the majority of whom – more than 38,000 – live in the Sunshine State.

Florida is also home to more than half of the Italian firms that operate in the southeastern United States, 118 of a total 248 that altogether created 12,896 direct jobs in the region as of last year.

As such, it should not be a surprise that exchanges between Italy and the region, particularly Florida, continue to grow rapidly, climbing in value by $404.5 million in just two years, according to US Department of Commerce figures.

Between 2017 and 2018, the trade balance between Italy and the southeastern US shot up 20%, bolstered by imports here of Italian machinery, eyewear and motor vehicles, and local exports of metals, gemstones, machinery and paper products, among other products.

And while numbers are still pending from last year, in 2018 alone more than 340,000 Italian business travelers and tourists came to Florida, adding nearly $1 billion to the local economy.

“The incredible increase in the trade exchange between Italy and the southeastern United States has especially been in Florida,” Mr. Musillo said. “There is a great demand for Italy and even better cooperation with businesses, the economic system and industry.”

Mr. Musillo sat down with reporter Jesse Scheckner.

The interview, recorded by Jahmoukie Dayle, can be viewed below.

Michael Myers and HalloweeN III Masks in other Films

There have been several instances where a Mask from one of the HalloweeN movies has appeared in another film. I thought it would be interesting to document such cases – two at a time. The year of 1998 saw a resurgence in the slasher genre. This movement began with 1996’s Scream, which used parody to expand and revitalize the genre. By … Continue reading

Nine – Outlook for Android

Jan 5, 2017 [updated Jun 27, 2019]

Nine is an Android App that syncs with Exchange or and provides many MYN functions on your smartphone. Benefits:

  • It allows viewing and entering MYN tasks
  • It has an E-mail module with Category assignments
  • It allows conversion of e-mails to tasks
  • It has Calendar, Contacts, and Notes modules too, and everything syncs with the corresponding modules in Exchange or

Many MYN users have used it for years and love it. I used to recommend Touchdown for Android and MYN, but it’s been discontinued.

There is a full video in my paid MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training (the newer 365 version of that class) on how to use Nine with my advanced MYN system. It’s video number 22C.

Or if you are using my simple 1MTD system, see video 4.12 in the Outlook Inbox Ninja video course, it shows how to use Nine. Or see video 12 in the One Minute To-Do List in Outlook video course, it shows how to use Nine with 1MTD as well.

Below I show some notes on how to get started with Nine, in case you have not purchased any of the above video courses. Let’s look at those next.

Getting Started

  1. Search for Nine on the Google Play store. It’s called “Nine – Outlook for Android”
  2. Download and Install
  3. Enter your Exchange or username and password.
  4. You’ll be shown a Content to Sync window. By default all types are set to sync: Email, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes. If you don’t want any of these to sync (say to speed up usage) then tap the ones that you don’t want and remove the green color. Tap Next.
  5. You are taken to the email module, and it may take a moment to sync.
  6. Email is set in conversation view by default. Tap 3-line-with-arrow menu in upper right to change that and to change many other settings.

Viewing Tasks

  1. Tap the 3-line menu (hamburger menu) in upper left to navigate to main menu
  2. In main menu at very bottom, tap on the tasks icon.
  3. You’ll see three labels at the top of the list, All, Active, and Completed, that are actually menus. Nine defaults to Active tasks (that label has a faint green line under it showing it is chosen).  The Active choice is good for 1MTD and MYN: these are tasks not marked complete. Tap other labels next to it if you want to change that.

The other settings are not set correct for 1MTD or MYN, let’s fix those next.

Setting up Tasks for 1MTD

  1. Once at the tasks list….
  2. Tap 3-line-with-down-arrow menu in upper right.
  3. If you want to hide flagged-mail tasks, then tap the green check mark next to Show Email Flags to clear that. If it’s grayed out then it’s already off.
  4. Below that setting tap Group By, and then choose Priority
  5. Below that clear setting that says No Date On Top
  6. Below that, tap Sort By, and in the small window tap Sort by, and choose Subject. That way you can sort tasks within each group by typing a 1, 2, 3, etc in front of them–it sorts alphabetically. You’ll have to change Outlook To-Do Bar settings as I show below, to make it work the same. Tap OK
  7. Tap the Android Back button to get back to your tasks list.

You should see tasks grouped by Priority, and in alphabetical order within each group.

Modifying To-Do Bar in Outlook to Work with Nine and 1MTD

If you want to sort the same way in Outlook as you do in nine, then in Outlook tap Arrange By at the top of the To-Do Bar tasks list, choose View Settings, Tap Group By button and clear checkbox in upper left and then choose Priority, then OK; tap Sort button and select Subject, then Ascending, then OK (decline adding field); click OK; click OK. Now you can start typing 1, 2, 3, and so on to sort tasks within priority groups in a way that matches Nine.

By the way, again, you can see all this in videos. The video 4.12 in the Outlook Inbox Ninja video course,  shows all this for 1MTD. Or see video 12 in the One Minute To-Do List in Outlook video course, it shows all this as well for 1MTD.

Setting up Nine Tasks for MYN

Using my more advanced MYN system takes a bit more prep in Nine, but not that much more, and you can accomplish a lot more. Here are the set up steps:

  1. Once at the tasks list….
  2. Tap the funnel shaped button in upper right.
  3. Tap the start date entry, and then select third one down On or Before Today. Tap OK
  4. Tap left arrow next to Filter to get back to task list.
  5. Tap 3-line-with-down-arrow menu in upper right
  6. If you want to hide flagged mail tasks, then tap the green check mark next to Show Flagged to clear that.
  7. Leave No date on Top checked.
  8. Tap the Group By button and in window tap Priority.
  9. Tap Sort By button. Sort by Start Date, Order by Newest on Top. Tap OK
  10. Back at the tasks list, your list should now match your Outlook To-Do Bar Tasks MYN sorting fairly closely. Target Now tasks are colored light blue, by the way.

Using Nine to Add Tasks

  1. Tap large blue + sign in lower right to add tasks…
  2. You have to choose a start date (defaults to none). Ignore due date (it will set to same)
  3. Set priority, then tap Save in upper right.

Using the E-mail Module to Use Categories

  1. Tap the 3-line menu (hamburger menu) in upper left to navigate to main menu.
  2. In main menu at very bottom, tap on the envelope icon.
  3. Open an email. To choose a category, tap the button to right of subject line. Category choice list is shown. Like all mobile Exchange mail apps, only categories currently in Inbox will be shown in list, and colors won’t match. To fix, first, in Outlook, assign all categories to some e-mail in your Inbox. Then open any email in Nine, tap the button to right of subject line,  and use the Edit menu at bottom of category window in Nine to assign proper colors (tap color dots to change color).

Converting Emails to Tasks

  1. Open any e-mail. If you open a conversation, then open an e-mail inside it to select it (conversion to tasks only works on single emails, not on entire conversations).
  2. In the open single email, tap the 3-dot menu in upper right.
  3. Tap Create a Task. In new task edit the subject line and set start date, then priority, then tap save in upper right. No attachments are picked up by the way.

Again, all of the material for Nine and MYN is shown in my paid MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training (the newer 365 version of that class). It’s video number 22C.

There are a lot more features in Nine, feel free to play around with it and its other modules.

  1. Dragan Marian says:

    Many Thanks for the post. I’ve been using their native Outlook for Android App but lacked many features among which the most important of course is the possibility of setting up the MYN Tasks system the way you advise in your Total Workday Control Book.

  2. jakob abrahamsen says:

    Hi Michael, whats your recommendation for best mail-handling app for iphone currently. I read in your book about the emailganizer and here online about touchdown, but both seems to be exactly what we are looking for?
    I have exchange server capability so currently use tasktask for tasks, and iphone natives mail application but need a good way to manage email folders (native app is horrible) and a better way to convert email to tasks. What do you recommend?

    • Michael Linenberger says:

      Jakob, take a look at iO app Preside. Really good folder management. Good conversion of emails to Exchange tasks. From the maker of emailganizer, his next level up. I’ve been meaning to write it up on the blog, but it was going through a lot of changes (improvements) when I last communicated with developer, so I wanted to wait for it to settle down. Tell me how you like it. Michael

      • jakob abrahamsen says:

        Hi Michael – thanks advise. Have downloaded and right off the bat it appears very powerful and looks like it has a lot of potential. Trying to find out if I can create tasks in Onenote (my GTD organizer) directly from Preside or whether I use Tasktask.

        Currently I am in the free version. Hope the free allowance to cover my needs as the Premium version is beyond my budget. Will let you know once I start using it more heavily.

  3. Clayton Drever says:

    I’ve just downloaded Nine. Seems like a good app except for one issue.

    When I enter tasks, or convert emails to tasks in Nine, they will appear in my outlook tasks, but do not appear in my outlook MYN to-do bar.

    Any suggestions? Do I have something so incorrectly?

    • Michael Linenberger says:

      Clayton, we don’t have an android phone handy these days to test this, but I don’t recall that issue when we did.
      All I can think of is this:
      –you are creating a true task, right? Not simply flagging an email? Sounds like you are, but just checking.
      –curious, do those tasks have start dates entered? Not having them should still work, but will put them low in the priority section in the to-do bar. But maybe it’s related.
      –is it possible you have a different or weird filter entered in your to-do bar? Why don’t you right click top of to-do bar tasks, choose view settings, click on Filter button, and in that window choose advanced tab and screen shot that window, and email it to our support email, we can take a look.
      –something to play with. If you are using the MYN Views add in software (from ClearContext), use its menu to display flagged mail and see if your missing Nine tasks show up.
      –if not using that add in, something to play with: in the same filter window advanced ta mentioned above, see if you have a Message Class condition and try removing it (screen shot it first so you can add it back in later). Removing it will cause flagged mail to be displayed, but if it also displays your missing tasks (and you are sure they are true tasks) it means Nine is not setting the Message Class property on tasks, and we could contact them and suggest they do. And we can perhaps fix the problem by using a different condition in the To-Do Bar (there are other ways to filter out flagged mail tasks).
      That’s all I can think of for now. Michael

      • Michael Linenberger says:

        Clayton, good to hear it’s working again after removing your special filter from Outlook. (in communication via personal email). I figured it might be something weird like that added to Outlook. Yes, Nine is a good solution. Michael

      • Eric Young says:

        Side note: you might want to install NOX which is a virtualbox-based emulator that provides a full Android environment for software testing.

        It’s free to download and use:

  4. Joel Ungar says:

    I used Nine for a while and was generally pleased with it. However, it was messing up my Google Contacts. As you’d expect, I’ve got more than one person from the same company in contacts. On my phone (Samsung S10), it started combining things in weird ways. Say John and Paul both work for Apple Ltd. John’s contact record would show both his mobile and Paul’s mobile number. If Paul texted me, it would show up as if John was texting me. This went so far as to make lunch plans with what I thought was John and then Paul showed up. Once I removed Nine, it cleared up; I had a little clean up to do after.

  5. Ken Anctil says:

    If I’m not using Outlook sync (since this is personal email and I don’t use an exchange server), do you recommend Toodledo instead or still go with Nine?

In an operational first, the Air Force has armed the MQ-9 Reaper with the GPS-guided GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, bomb.

Airmen from the 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary Wing at Creech Air Force Base and the 26th Weapons Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base -- both in Nevada -- worked together to outfit the medium-altitude with the GBU-38, according to a release.

That same week, an MQ-9 loaded with a JDAM was used in combat in Operation Inherent Resolve, the Pentagon's fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Col. Case Cunningham commander of the 432nd Wing and 432nd Expeditionary Wing at Creech told on Tuesday.

Although GBU-38 on the Reaper has been in the works for a while -- and has been listed a part of the MQ-9's inventory of weapons -- it hasn't been operational.

RELATED: Air Force Seeks to Change How Drone Pilots Train, Fly

Since the MQ-9 entered service a decade ago in 2007, it has carried a combination of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bombs.

In 2010, the service paused incorporating the 500-pound JDAM pending resolution "of MQ-9 [Operational Flight Program] fuzing and weapons envelope discrepancies," according to the Defense Department's Director, Operational Test and Evaluation office.

The delays resulted over "testing priorities, not a safety concern," an Air Force official told on background. Final testing and evaluation wrapped up earlier this year, the official said.

The bomb was cleared for operational use in April, Cunningham said.

"The GBU-38 has a 20 minute load time compared to the GBU-12, which has a 30 minute load time," said Senior Airman Curtis, a 432nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron load crew member. "The GBU-38 is a quicker load compared to the GBU-12 and gets the plane in the air quicker," Curtis said in the release.

RELATED: Air Force to Retire Iconic Predator Drone

Once released from the aircraft, the JDAM autonomously navigates to the designated target coordinates, according to the service.

"The overall impact of the GBU-38 is aircrew will have more versatility for the commanders to provide different effects and make a difference for the guys on the ground," added Capt. Scott, a 26th WPS weapons instructor pilot. "It has a different guidance system and it opens the bridge to more GPS-guided weapons in the future."

Meanwhile, the Air Force is moving to an all Reaper remotely piloted combat aircraft fleet, and will officially retire the MQ-1 Predator in 2018, officials announced in February.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, the Air Force had a total of 195 Reapers and 129 Predators across the active and Guard components, according to information compiled by the Air Force Association. Both aircraft are made by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. of San Diego.

Calculate House building Cost as of 2017/2018, Anywhere in the United States. Use our Free Calculator and get reliable estimates of the cost to build a house

Use of The Calculator

As a Contractor
You may use this calculator to check your own estimate, and the relative proportions of Labor, Equipment and Materials. You are not expected to build your estimate based on the output, despite the effort made to ensure its accuracy. Actually every crew has its unique productivity in different conditions, and Suppliers may offer different prices for large orders. Therefore the output is intended for use as reference only.

As a Homeowner
You may use the output as a guide for accepting or rejecting a proposal from a Contractor. A grossly low bid should be rejected, being unrealistic, unless the bidder provides a reasonable explanation. Same applies for highly rated bids.

Where Did We Get These Figures From?
We made a thorough investigation in the web, and collected data from the published cost studies.
In addition to that we consulted a number of new homeowners, and real estate developers nationwide, and accessed several estimating databases.

What Factors Did We Consider?
The cost to build a house varies with time and location.
The average cost per square foot in the 4th quarter 2010, was $99 per square foot in Norfolk, Virginia,
and was $123 per square foot in Queens, NY.

In the 4th quarter 2015, it became $114 per square foot in Norfolk, Virginia,
and became $138 per square foot in Queens, NY.

Also, the bigger the area a house is of, the smaller the cost per square foot may result in.

A better quality finishing may account for additional cost as well
The above is reflected respectively in the calculations.

House Cost Proportions
House Building Cost Proportions
Proportions of the cost with respect to the total expenditure shall be shown diagrammatically below the calculator, upon making an estimate for at a specific location.

The calculations assume a single story house with three bedrooms and one bathroom plus a garage. The specifications include a conventional floor, stucco exterior, wallboard interior, shingle roof, single fireplace, forced air heat, PVC water supply and drain lines, range with double oven, disposer, dishwasher and 900 SF of concrete flat work.

Generally the direct job costs will be either Labor, Equipment or material costs. It is obvious that at some cities, labor wages can be higher than those in other cities. Same applies to Material prices, and Equipment rents. In addition to the direct costs there shall be indirect costs related to insurance and payroll tax, preparation of plans and specifications, permits and utilities, and final cleanup. These indirect costs have been estimated as 7.3% of the direct costs. Moreover, the contractor overheads and profit will constitute part of the final cost to the homeowner. This has been considered as 12.5% of the direct cost. The output by the above calculator includes all, and you do not need to make any adjustments. The figure is to the best of our knowledge at the time we carried out this research and collected the data for each location.

More Findings In our research we found that the difference in Labor wages between cities have a direct influence on the comparative house prices. While the difference in Material Prices does have the same influence.
  • The highest total price exists in Boston, Massachusetts and next to it is in New York. At these location we found the highest labor wages, compared to other cities.
  • The Lowest total price is in Puerto Rico, and next to it is in Socorro, New Mexico. Also the lowest labor wages are found in those locations.
  • The Lowest Material prices are found in Creston, Iowa and the highest ones are found in US Territory Guam
  • The contribution of labor costs to the total, ranges between 24% to 51% while the contribution of the Material costs to the total, ranges between 47% to 74%.
  • The average house building expenses are higher at some states by more than 20% of the average in all states, namely in Alaska and Hawaii
  • The average house building expenses at Puerto Rico are lower by 21% than the average allover USA
  • The high prices of building materials in Alaska, Hawaii, US Territories and Virgin Islands, when compared with those at other regions of the country, is believed, to have resulted from transportation expenses. Apart from those regions, the difference in house building Materials value is within 3% of the average
  • Also in Alaska and Hawaii, the equipment contribution to the building expenses goes up to 6% above the average, and in US Territories and Virgin Islands it goes down to 5% below the average
  • The contributions of the different items to the total cost associated with building a house are shown in the table below as percentages of the total.

Toronto, ON, February 9th, 2018: MissionFest Toronto (MFT) has transitioned and is ready to re-emerge in 2018.

The organization’s Executive Director, Sharon Ganesh, has stepped down after 7 years at the helm and overseeing five conferences. Ganesh, who has worked for the ministry for eleven years, tendered her resignation at the end of October 2017. She is returning to the private sector to offer support services through her events / project management company KASAworks!. Sharon said she has enjoyed working and serving the organization for a period of eleven years, adding that it is time for her to move on and embark upon new opportunities that the Good Lord has set before her.

“Working with MissionFest has been such an incredible privilege – being able to contribute my talents, investing in the lives of others, developing beautiful working relationships with staff, board members, the management team, and volunteers as well as forging fruitful relations with supporters of MissionFest,” said Ganesh.

Responding to the change, the MFT chair, Sam Tita said that the organization is grateful for Sharon Ganesh’s many years of service, wishing her the best in her new endeavors. The chair added that under her leadership, the organization delivered in its vision for serving and supporting its members through the annual conference and operational leadership excellence revealing that she will continue to be involved with MFT on a project basis.

Taking over the mantle is Wayne Hinds who leaves the board of directors after 9 years to become the interim Executive Director. Wayne led the transition team during the period when the organization had suspended its operation in 2015. “With a mandate to re-establish MissionFest Toronto’s viability,  he surveyed the ministry’s 4,000 supporters on how it can better serve its partners and constituents, helping to develop a ”way forward plan“ with a renewed vision for serving and supporting the mission community,” said the chair while welcoming the interim Executive Director in the new position. Wayne has already stepped down to accept the position and will start by  improving partnership collaboration and ministry relations development, while executing the “way forward plan”.

About MissionFest Toronto

Wildstar Friends and Family Video

In news by Myrddin108 Comments

The past weeks I have totally been sucked into Diablo, driving back his forces to hell. Nothing has been able to get me away from the game so far, even my World of Warcraft subscription ran out (finally). But this week I got a mail from Carbine with a preview of todays Wildstar Wednesday and I was totally blown away. If you recall my rant about Wildstar Wednesdays and suggestions on how to improve them you will realize that this week they show how I always imagined them!

MoP BETA: Glyph of (large) Spectral Wolf

In news by Myrddin41 Comments

Last night we got a new (surprise) Build – 15689. Main reason behind this build was to re-enable the 64-bit client that got bugged last week. Sadly since the shaman changes are scarce so there isn’t much to show, even this build has only some minor tweaks to glyphs. One of them being a new Ghost Wolf appearance, the large Spectral Wolf.

Account-wide Mounts on Beta!

In news by Myrddin1 Comment

A feature we (at least me) have been waiting for a long time is account wide mounts. One of the few remaining really rare old epic mounts. The vanilla epic mounts did not look epic enough for Blizzard so they decided to add armor and stuff to it. Most people turned their mounts into the new ones which made them really really rare these days. Since Myrddin was born in TBC he had no possibility to get the awesome old Black Saber and always envied Slant for this beauty. Now I can ride it, hooray!

State of Enhancement Shamans – Beta Build 15662

In news by Myrddin54 Comments

The last few builds did not have any major changes for Enhancement Shamans, nothing worthy a full post at least. But after 3 builds without comment I decided to share some of the experiences. The Beta Realms have been quite unstable. Crashes, lag-spikes, timeouts in minute intervals. Its slowly affecting motivation of experienced beta testers. Usually Blizzard is quite fast on fixing such builds, hence the delay on this post.

Ascendance Model

In patches by Myrddin53 Comments

Sorry about the delay! It wasn’t in my hands, the stability of the European Beta Realm crossed my plans of presenting Ascendance as soon as possible. The most recent build 15589 caused severe issues and the realm crashed in 5-10 minute intervals, followed by unresponsive login servers. But finally all these issues have been overcome and I was able to level to 87 and here it is, the Ascendant of Air!

Wa NCCE embarks on educational programme

Listen to article

Wa, March 3, GNA - The Wa Municipal Directorate of National Commission on Civic Education has embarked on a public education programme on the constitution in all the Junior Secondary Schools in the Municipality.

Apart from educating the children on their fundamental human rights, special rights on children were also spelt out to enable them to get acquainted to their rights and responsibilities.

Mr Eric Nawai, Municipal Director of NCCE also talked about female genital mutilation, child labour, betrothal and forced marriages which he urged them to report to the law enforcement agencies. He advised the student to be law-abiding, take up their responsibilities at both home and school that would empower them to be future successful adults.

"Rights go with responsibilities and the two are both guaranteed in the constitution. As school children you are to protect school and national property including the safe guarding of the constitution." Mr Saaka Malibunnah, a field office of NCCE advised the children against alcoholism, indecent dressing and smoking of dangerous drugs. He also urged them not to be rebellious to their parents and elders but to seek the appropriate channels to solve their problems if there were any.

BUDGET: 2004 Budget made progress despite difficulties

Listen to article

Accra, Feb. 24, GNA - In spite of several challenges the 2004 budget faced, the economy performed well because it was prudently managed, the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Mr Kwadwo Baah-Wiredu said on Thursday.

"Indeed, all the key economic indicators show that the economy remained resilient in 2004," he said in his budget statement to Parliament.

He said the provisional out-turn indicates that Real GDP grew at 5.8 percent, exceeding the projected growth of 5.2 percent, year-on-year inflation declined to 11.8 percent at end-December, 2004, marginally over the target but well below the 23.6 percent at end-December 2003; average inflation declined from 26.7 percent in 2003 to 12.6 percent in 2004 and the cedi remained relatively stable throughout the year - depreciating by a moderate 2.2 percent against the US dollar.

Mr Baah-Wiredu said domestic primary balance registered a surplus equivalent to 0.7 percent of GDP, while the overall budget was in a deficit equal to 3.2 percent of GDP; net domestic financing of the budget was higher than programmed at A2393 billion (equivalent to 0.5 percent of GDP) against the target of a net repayment of A21,732 billion (equivalent to 2.2 percent of GDP) and gross official foreign reserves were the equivalent to 3.8 months of imports, at the end of December 2004, against the target of 3.0 months of imports;

He said interest rates generally declined and stabilised, with the benchmark 91-day Treasury bill rate falling slightly from 18.7 percent at the end of 2003 to about 17.0 percent; total revenues exceeded expectations in 2004 as a result of measures taken to improve efficiency in administration; and total expenditures exceeded projections mainly on account of transfers to fund petroleum price subsidies and capital outlays financed by higher-than-expected disbursement of external inflows including HIPC debt relief.

Mr Baah-Wiredu said the implementation of the 2004 Budget was beset by a number of difficulties. These included the persistent volatile increases in world crude oil prices, which necessitated the transfer of resources earmarked for social and development programmes to the procurement of crude oil.

He said the huge transfer of resources to the Tema Oil Refinery to subsidise the prices of petroleum products in order to prevent financial bleeding at TOR resulting from the under-recovery in the ex-refinery prices of petroleum products was another problem.

Mr Baah-Wiredu said the provisional outturn indicates that GDP recorded a growth rate of 5.8 percent in 2004, exceeding both the projection for the year and the 2003 outcome by 0.6 percentage points. The Agricultural Sector led the way with an outstanding growth performance of 7.5 percent against the growth rate of 6.1 percent achieved in 2003, with the Industrial and Services Sectors registering growth performances of 5.1 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively, or at the same pace as last year.

In terms of the relative importance of the sectors to the overall growth, agriculture contributed 46.7 percent, up from the 41.4 percent in 2003. This surge in agriculture led by the cocoa sub-sector reduced the relative contributions of all other sectors.

Industry and Services contributed 22.1 percent and 24.3 percent, down from 24.0 percent and 26.7 percent, recorded in 2003 respectively. The residual contributions of 7.8 percent and 6.8 percent to growth in 2003 and 2004, respectively, are attributable to Net Indirect Taxes. Mr Baah-Wiredu said the reported growth in the Agriculture Sector was propelled by the strong continued performance of the cocoa sub-sector.

The growth of 29.9 percent of the cocoa sub-sector (the equivalent of 17.9 percent contribution to total GDP growth) was a further improvement on the 16.4 percent growth realised in 2003 (equivalent to 9.8 percent contribution to total growth).

The mass spraying exercise and better husbandry practices initiated by the Government in 2001 continue to have a positive impact on cocoa production.

The Minister said growth in the forestry and logging sub-sector slowed down in 2004,while that of the crops and livestock sub-sector mirrored the 2003 performance of 5.3 percent.

The growth in the fishery sub-sector was 3.5 percent, which represented a marked improvement over the performance in 2003. On industry, Mr Baah-Wiredu noted that the construction sub-sector was the highest performer under industry, registering 6.6 percent growth as against 6.1 percent in 2003.

This showed a consistent increase in growth in the construction industry over the last three years.

The growth in construction was boosted by road infrastructure development during the year.

The manufacturing sub-sector's growth rate of 4.6 percent was similar to the performance in 2003. Growth in Mining and Quarrying, and Electricity and Water sub-sectors, however, decelerated relative to the 2003.

He said the contribution to overall GDP growth by all the sub-sectors in Industry in 2004 fell short of 2003 effort. The shortfall in the construction sub-sector was, however, only marginal. On services, Mr Baah-Wiredu said growth performances of the various sub-sectors of the Services Sector were mixed.

The three sub-sectors comprising Transport, Storage and Communications, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Restaurants and Hotels, and Finance and Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services all registered lower growth rates in 2004 compared to 2003.

The remaining sub-sectors, including Government Services, however, performed relatively better.

On fiscal developments, Mr Baah-Wiredu said in 2004, as in the preceding years of the government, the principal objective of fiscal policy was to reduce and stabilize the domestic debt.

"The fiscal framework was, therefore, geared to eliminate the reliance on domestic financing of the operations of Government. "The challenges that have confronted Government have been in relation to the increasing wage bill and the burden of servicing the domestic debt, including the accumulated debts of Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Electricity Corporation of Ghana (ECG), and Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL)."
