Friday Favourites- Barcelona

Favourite Tapas

La Pepita

I’m tapas monster 🙂 Even in London I want to have tapas every week. So first thing I did when we arrived to Barcelona was to ask our hosts were is the best tapas place. They recommended La Pepita ,small but lovely restaurant and bar in Gràcia. It was the best tapas I ever had!  From patatas bravas,croquettes to Spanish ham and even fried egg with crisps…everything was amazing.

After delicious dinner we ordered dessert which was definitely something that I didn’t know it exist – Corn Ice Cream with Popcorns and Raspberries. Surprisingly it was delicious just like everything .Good thing is it not too busy and guest are mostly Spanish so you can be sure it’s good 🙂  I would recommend everyone to go there when they visiting Barcelona

Favourite Outfit

I was already writing about this outfit and my first day in Barcelona but here it is again. I was feeling so comfy and good and this and I’m sorry that I can’t really wear it more often because you know… London

Favourite Blogger

Trendy Taste -Natalia Cabezas

One of my favourite bloggers is Spanish and is from Barcelona. So this is opportunity to introduce her . Her style is mostly bohemian and inspiring .

Follow her here

Favourite Place

Barcelona is now definitely my favourite city and everything is so nice there but the most amazing thing is Montjuic. I can’t even decide when it’s better ,during the day when the view is amazing or during the night when the lights and colours of fountain are amazing. And it’s so romantic

Favourite Shopping

Like a real Zara fan only thing I was thinking is Zara. And I have to say it’s much better than London Zara. It’s much bigger with much more choice(they say better quality as well). Mango,Stradivarius,Pull&Bear and Bershka are everywhere. Literally everywhere. Best part for shopping spree is Passeig de Gràcia where you can choose from high street brand to exclusive designer stores.

If you are weird and you are not into clothes 😉 there is a amazing colour coordinated market ,famous La Boqueria . Everything is fresh and delicious . It’s good that I had breakfast before,otherwise I would buy everything 🙂

IT Companies Pay $5.8 Million for Fraud Relating to Small Business Status and Contract Fee Payments

The government’s effort to crack down on fraud that has been allegedly committed against its agencies sometimes snares a multitude of companies that supposedly acted together.  This was illustrated earlier this month, when the Department of Justice announced that En Pointe Gov. Inc., En Pointe Technologies Inc., En Pointe Technologies Sales Inc., Dominguez East Holdings LLC and Din Global Corp had all agreed to pay a combined total of $5.8 million to settle charges that the companies violated the False Claims Act by certifying that En Pointe Gov was a small business.  The Government charges that this claim was made in order to obtain contract set asides for small businesses.  Moreover, the government alleges that these companies underreported sales under a General Services Administration (GSA) contract in order to avoid paying fees.

“These companies defrauded the government in two ways, each of which cost taxpayers,” said U.S. Attorney Eileen M. Decker for the Central District of California. “Small businesses, in some cases, are eligible to receive a preference when government contracts are issued.  Large companies that fraudulently solicit and obtain contracts under small business set-aside programs, like the companies in this case not only abuse the system but also harm legitimate small businesses by taking those contracts away from them.”  The government alleged that between 2011 and 2014, the defendants made false claims that En Pointe Gov, Inc (now known as Modern Gov IT Inc) met Small Business Administration (SBA) requirements to obtain work that was set aside for small businesses only.  The government’s contention is that En Pointe Gov Inc.’s affiliation with the other defendants in this case rendered it a non-small business thus disqualifying it from small business set-aside contracts.

Additionally, the government alleged that the defendants caused En Pointe Gov. Inc. to file false quarterly reports with the GSA between 2008 and 2015 that underreported sales made under a GSA contract.  The contract allowed other federal agencies to purchase from En Pointe which was also obligated to return to GSA a percentage of its sales receipts.  Thus, En Pointe underpaid the fees it owed the GSA by allegedly misrepresenting the amount of its sales.  “Federal contracts set aside for small businesses are intended to grow the economic base of the nation,” said SBA Inspector General Peggy E. Gustafson.  “The Office of Inspector General will aggressively investigate such misrepresentations to ensure only eligible businesses are awarded these contracts.”

The settlement resolves allegations filed in a lawsuit by Minburn Technology Group, LLC (Minburn) and Anthony Colangelo, Minburn’s managing member.  The lawsuit was filed under the qui tam, or Whistleblower, provisions of the False Claims Act, which permit private individuals to sue on behalf of the government for false claims and to share in any recovery.  Minburn and Mr. Colangelo will receive approximately $1.4 million.  If you know of fraud that has been committed against the government or one of its agencies, you are encouraged to report it and to contact a Qui tam law firm.  Attorneys there will be able to advise you as to your rights under the laws government False Claims Act violations.

NCDOT Reminds Motorists to Keep Alert for Deer During Fall Months

Share this:

Last Updated on October 5, 2012 10:27 am

In order to help reduce the number of wildlife-related automobile crashes, the N.C. Department of Transportation reminds motorists to be aware of the increased presence of deer on state roads during the fall months.

More than 19,500 animal-related crashes were reported each of the last three years, and 90 percent of those involved deer. Since 2009, the incidents have resulted in 3,498 injuries to people, of which 17 were fatal, and approximately $139.1 million in property damage.

“More deer are being seen in densely populated areas,” said State Traffic Engineer Kevin Lacy. “Drivers need to be alert at all times. If you can’t avoid a deer, it is better to hit it than to lose control of your vehicle and cause a bigger accident.”

While a crash involving a deer can happen at any time, the majority of deer-vehicle collisions occur between the months of October and December, when deer activity increases due to mating and hunting seasons. Crashes are most common during the hours of 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., when deer movement increases and limited lighting makes it more difficult for motorists to see them on or near roadways.

Between 2009 and 2011, there were 61,046 animal-related collisions reported throughout North Carolina. The top five counties for such collisions in 2011 were Wake (1,105), Duplin (646), Guilford (642), Pitt (623) and Johnston (535). Wake County has had the most animal-related crashes for the past 11 years.

The North Carolina Animal Related Crashes 2009-2011 data and county rankings can be found on the Connect NCDOT webpage. NCDOT has animal crash maps available by county as well (click on Crash Type: Deer, Crash Description: 2011 By Time of Year). A county spreadsheet will load with links to the maps. The crashes are coded by the quarter of the year they occurred.

NCDOT offers the following suggestions for motorists to avoid being in a collision with a deer:

Slow down in posted deer crossing areas and heavily wooded areas, especially during the late afternoon and evening;

Statistics indicate most car-deer crashes occur near bridges or overpasses. Deer also follow railroad tracks, streams and ditches;

Drive with high beams on, when possible, and watch out for eyes reflecting in the headlights;

Remember that deer often travel in groups, so do not assume that the road is clear if one deer has already passed;

Do not swerve to avoid contact with deer. This could cause the vehicle to flip or veer into oncoming traffic, causing a more serious crash. Swerving also can confuse the deer as to where to run;

If you see a deer near or on the road, give you car horn one long blast. This sound gives the deer an audible signal to avoid; and

Increase the distance between your vehicle and other cars, especially at night. If the car ahead of you hits a deer, you may also become involved in the accident.

Sergeant Pepper – Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Gruner Veltliner and so much more…

Seminar Wine Tasting Thursday, November 4, 6 to 7:30 pm

Location: at our Farwell store

RSVP: Required. Purchase below or call 414-231-9393.

Their ubiquity in daily culinary life betrays their exotic origins—as well as their keys to an inner sanctum of the world of wine.

There are the spices. Black, like white peppercorn, is the dried fruit of a tropical vine native to India. Capsicum, also called chile or red, is the dried fruit of New World, relative to the tomato. And then there are vegetables. The sweet or bell is a mild variety of the mostly pungent species of Capsicum.

All of these are, of course, peppers. Whether spices or vegetables, the aromatic and flavor  qualities of peppers are diagnostic and hypnotic characteristics of many fine wines. Most notably, those made with Syrah from the Rhone Valley, Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley and Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau Valley.

Why do peppers speak through these specific grapes? And why grapes from these specific terroirs? And what so they want to say to us?

Join us as we explore the wines of the Rhone and Loire Valleys of France, and of the Wachau Valley of Austria. And discover how Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Grüner Veltliner wines from these regions compare to wines made with these grapes from other wine regions of the world.

Wines to be tasted:

2019 Gobelsburg Gruner Veltliner Steinsetz $34.99

2018 Mathias Hirtzberger Gruner Veltliner Treu Federspeil $34.99

2017 Rudi Pichler, Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Hochrain $69.99

2015 Petit Marie Bourgueil Cuvee Ronsard $21.99

2014 Pallus Chinon Grand Vin $38.99

2008 Raffault Chinon Les Picasses $49.99

Staying Present While Coping with Overwhelm, part 1: The Five Steps

Overwhelm is a natural, human response to a perception of life-threatening emergency.

Wayne Scott Favicon black and whiteAFTER A VERY PANIC-EDGED WEEK of tracking news about Oregon’s forest fires, following the latest pandemic news, and feeling threatened by our cruelly divisive national politics, for the first time today the air is so unhealthy that neither myself nor any family member is leaving the house, except to walk the dog. This past week I have been talking to therapists, counselors, and social workers about how hard it is to do therapy with clients. One of the common questions, hanging in the background of these supervision discussions, is: What do I do with my own distracting sense of overwhelm, when I am trying to be present for my clients? Everyone is exhausted.

As with so many things, once we can figure it out for ourselves, we are better able to help our clients. In part one of this post, I’ll talk about managinng overwhelm. In part two, due out in a few weeks, I’m going to explore what makes a ‘good enough’ therapist during a time of chaos.

Rethinking Overwhelm. We need to re-frame how we think about overwhelm. For many folks, especially action-oriented helping professionals, this incapacitating state of shut-down is not a familiar state. We may be used to lives of productivity and creativity and energy. So when we feel overwhelmed, it’s natural to go to a place of pathological self-judgment: What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I cope with this more effectively?  But that interpretation, while human, is neither helpful nor kind. The extra layer of shame is toxic. It just makes things worse. In his classic book about the Holocaust, Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl wrote, “An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.”¹

So, how do we make sense of this ‘abnormal reaction?’ It helps to place overwhelm, or the freeze response, in the context of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS threads through our body, connecting the brain, heart, gut, and muscles. It controls many bodily functions that happen whether or not we are thinking about them (for example: breathing, heart rate, digestion, sexual arousal, etc.); hence the word “autonomic.” It’s also brilliantly equipped to recognize threats to our lives, to help us mobilize to act when we face those dangers, and, yes, to heal when the danger has passed.

In its simplest terms, you can think of the ANS as a menu of responses to perceived danger. The most primitive set–the fight, flight, or freeze defenses familiar to everyone–are survival functions built into our nervous system that we share with most creatures on the face of the earth. They activate powerful chemicals that allow our bodies to mobilize, to respond and survive. The most evolved aspect of the ANS is the ventral vagal, or social engagement system. the social part of our nervous system, which allows us to manage stress and danger through bonding with others.

Car metaphor. One way of thinking about the three strands of the ANS is that it’s like a car. The sympathetic nervous system, or fight or flight response, is like the car’s accelerator, helping us rush toward a challenge, or giving us the momentum to drive away. The ventral vagal, or social engagement system, is like the driver of the car, scanning the horizon, making eye contact with other drivers, bringing self- and other-awareness into the balancing act.

The “dorsal vagal,” or freeze response, resembles the brakes. It slows us down when we sense something that could endanger us, or bring us to a halt.

Overwhelm is a natural, human response to a perception of life-threatening emergency. But how is it helpful to freeze? Why would it be adaptive for any creature to freeze in the face of extreme adversity?

It can be helpful to think of the immobilization response in terms of evolution. It evolved in the earliest boneless creatures (cartilaginous fish) over 600 million years ago. First of all, it’s a way of conserving energy in extreme circumstances. The body slows down dramatically. A potential predator might lose interest in a creature that looks dead. Or if he’s going to kill you anyway, the parasympathetic response helps the body shut down in preparation for death. (The freeze response also is related to defecation, which some animals do when terrified, which also repels predators.)

In a less extreme situation, human beings can lean on this stream of the nervous system to achieve a sense of stillness and calm. One yoga metaphor for thinking of the parasympathetic is savasana, or the death pose, a state of deep calm.

How do we re-set when we feel overwhelmed? Neuroscience experiments confirm that it is difficult to shake one’s self out of a freeze state. One reason for the stuckness is that this autonomic response sits very closely to the human experience of shame, or outsiderhood, or not belonging. We don’t want to admit our vulnerability to anyone. Often, when I experience a freeze response in my work, I know it because I literally forget that I can ask for help. Loneliness for other people magnifies the sense of stuckness.

Some simple steps to re-set when you feel overwhelmed:

  1. Accept it without judgment. It is a natural human response to extreme adversity, an evolutionary gift that enables both survival and healing. It just might not feel that way. It might feel dissonant with your usual ways of engaging the world and stressors. What would it be like to allow your sense of overwhelm without judgment?
  2. Make a slow intentional shift. Recognize that, while the freeze response is natural and highly adaptive, it is also strong and immediate. We might be lured into thinking we can’t control it, when in fact we can influence it. And although it’s powerful, we have more control over it than we might realize. But we have to slow down and focus inward. Forget how to make cognitive sense of it for a minute and just focus on your body.
  3. Find your voice. Neuroscientists such as Stephen Porges talk about the intentional use of prosody to bring the shut-down nervous system back into balance: chanting, humming, vocalizing, song, reading poetry or prose out loud. In My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies, Resmaa Menakem shares numerous embodied strategies that involve prosody, including humming, buzzing, om-ing, singing aloud, among others. Check out this book!
  4. Seek support from nice people–eventually. For extreme overwhelm, it’s often counterintuitive to set up an emergency visit with your therapist or have an intimate face-to-face with your bestie right away. It can compound the sense of threat and make the shut down worse. Try sitting side by side and talking, experiencing a sense of connection while reducing the full-on assault of human niceness (think: car ride). This was helpful for me during the pandemic when I noticed, to my surprise, that sometimes I was having deeper, more vulnerable sessions with my clients when we were talking on the telephone, instead of meeting face-to-face. The titrated sense of human connection was easier to tolerate for their frightened systems.
  5. Manage expectations. Some of these steps will produce temporary, here-and-now relief. But the world is still in crisis. Our bodies are alert to the shifting danger. It is likely we will find ourselves again overwhelmed. And that’s OK. The next time you find yourself struggling with overwhelm, do this instead: a. Say hello to the overwhelm; b. Thank it for how it helps your body survive; c. Remind yourself that you can influence it; d. Focus on your body; e. Sing or hum or buzz or om … or speak.

As a therapist, I am remembering to be patient with what can feel like the “slow” progress I sometimes see in my clients during the pandemic. It is important to continually reframe these self-judgments, reduce their sting, to see the ways in which “slowness” might be adaptive, even healthy, during crazy times. In The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships, Bonnie Badenoch challenges us with the question, “How do we begin to trust and ride upon the unsure, tentative groundswells of remaining present with what is here in each moment?”

NOTE: In part two of “Staying Present While Coping with Overwhelm,” due out in a few weeks, I’m going to tackle the question: How do I know if I’m a good enough therapist during a pandemic?

Michele Riggs - September 15, 2020

Hi Wayne, for me and my team (I run an ACT team as well as supervise the c/m team at my outpatient office in rural Tillamook OR), we check in with each other every day. While I work for an agency which has rules about using PTO for needs. I recognize the value and heart of each of my staff/team members and so if they need a break, then I give it to them without using their PTO if possible. Taking care of myself on the other hand sometimes goes to the back of the list which I recognize is not the healthiest thing that I can do but for some reason the well being of others is something that I am very passionate about. The high needs individuals that we support usually don’t have a lot of support from family or community members and homelessness is something that continues to be a barrier for our most vulnerable. What I can say is that I am pretty good at “leaving it at the office” at the end of the day and I am aware of my own limits so that I think is what is helping me navigate both a pandemic as well as the recent fires that have displaced so many. Anyway, thank you for the ongoing thoughtful insights you present in your letters and also the wonderful training’s that you provide. I have enjoyed the ones I have attended. I also really enjoyed Mabel and Olive….:)

Wendy Curtis - September 15, 2020

Wayne, thank you so much for your posts! They are so very helpful to this very exhausted, fatigued and sometimes hopeless therapist who wants very much to still be helpful to my beloved clients.

NASA Telescopes Spy Ultra-Distant Galaxy

PASADENA, Calif. — With the combined power of NASA’s Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes, as well as a cosmic magnification effect, astronomers have spotted what could be the most distant galaxy ever seen. Light from the young galaxy captured by the orbiting observatories first shone when our 13.7-billion-year-old universe was just 500 million years old.

The far-off galaxy existed within an important era when the universe began to transit from the so-called cosmic dark ages. During this period, the universe went from a dark, starless expanse to a recognizable cosmos full of galaxies. The discovery of the faint, small galaxy opens a window onto the deepest, most remote epochs of cosmic history.

“This galaxy is the most distant object we have ever observed with high confidence,” said Wei Zheng, a principal research scientist in the department of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who is lead author of a new paper appearing in Nature. “Future work involving this galaxy, as well as others like it that we hope to find, will allow us to study the universe’s earliest objects and how the dark ages ended.”

Light from the primordial galaxy traveled approximately 13.2 billion light-years before reaching NASA’s telescopes. In other words, the starlight snagged by Hubble and Spitzer left the galaxy when the universe was just 3.6 percent of its present age. Technically speaking, the galaxy has a redshift, or “z,” of 9.6. [What a great variable!] The term redshift refers to how much an object’s light has shifted into longer wavelengths as a result of the expansion of the universe. Astronomers use redshift to describe cosmic distances. [And, now, the greatness of faithful Catholic blogs?  Fishwrap… z=-100?]

Read the rest there.

VERY cool.

We almost need the Star Wars crawl for this.

    the z is redshifting, and fw(fishwrap) is blueshifting. Hmmm…. they are parsecs apart for sure.

  2. stgemma_0411 says:

    Does this mean that one of their “black hole” spots is now filled?

  3. Cantor says:

    Which means, of course, that even traveling at Warp 9.99, the theoretical maximum speed, the Enterprise would still take 1.67 million years to get there. I tried to calculate how many minutes of commercials that would lead to, but was dissuaded by flashing lights, a klaxon, and large spinning saw blades swishing through the room.

  4. Phil_NL says:

    Erm, Fr.,…

    A Z of -100 for the fishwrap would mean that it is moving towards you with incredible speed (redshifts originate from speeddifferences, after all). The resulting collision will undoubtedly be painful. Even with a fishwrap; its mass may be close to zero (physically and intellectually), but its speed will more than compensate.

    May I suggest that we’ll kindly allow the fishwrap a modestly positive Z (of say 2 or 3), provided they remain in the Alderaan debris field?

  5. Johnno says:

    A lot of evolutionary musings passed of as facts with regards to the age of the universe, but that’s no surprise… Anyone wanting to learn something interesting ought to look up the Data on the Cosmic Microwave Background and the ‘axis of evil’ and the quantized redshifts. All very troublesome for modern scientists who continue to try to cover up information with regards to the true age of the Universe, and the evidence that points to Geocentrism. The Earth was created before the stars and all ex nihilo, you can bank on that.

online marketing strategies

A university professor opened up his class by picking out of his back pocket a £20 note. In the lecture hall of about two hundred people, the professor asked: “How many of you would like this note?”

Naturally, all two hundred hands of the students went up. The professor said, “Interesting, before I let you have it, let me ask you this question.”

He then took the note and folded it in half and said, “How many of you now want this note?” Still, two hundred hands of the students went up.

The professor then said, “Let me try something else.” He took the note and crumpled it and said, “How many of you want this note now?”

Still, two hundred hands of the students went up. Finally, the professor threw the £20 note on the floor, screwed it into the ground with his shoe, and crumpled it even more.

He then picked up the crumpled note that was now covered in dirt and said, “How many of you want this note?” All two-hundred hands were still up.

The professor said, “Today you’ve learned an important lesson. No matter how much I crumpled that note. No matter, I crunched it up. No matter how many times it was stood on, you still wanted it because it was still worth £20.”

In the same way that £20 note held its value, so do you. No matter how many times life will tread on you. No matter how many times life will crumple you, scrunch you and squeeze you… you will always keep your value.

That spark that exists within us, all of the bliss, knowledge, and eternity, will never be taken away.

Our value is not created by the price of our clothes or our bank balance or the job title that we have. We should be building our life and not just building our CV’s.

Famous Failures

In the middle of 2009, he was the software engineer that no one wanted to hire. He had 12 years of experience at Yahoo, but he was rejected by Facebook and rejected by Twitter.

He has been to a great university, had a great CV, but he decided to team up with one of his alumni members at Yahoo and started to create an app and focus on the startup space.

Five years later, he sold that app for $19 Billion dollars to Facebook. Believe it or not, that was Brian Acton, the co-founder of WhatsApp.

In 2009 when he was rejected by Facebook, he said: “It was a great opportunity to connect with some fantastic people. Looking forward to life’s next adventure.”

When he was rejected by Twitter, he responded by saying: “Got denied by Twitter HQ. Would have been a long commute.”

It’s so interesting to see someone who was rejected by two of the top internet companies responded with humor and positivity.

All the success you've dreamed of in just

This man watched his first company crumble. He was a Harvard University dropout. His first company’s demo didn’t even work.

He went on to build Microsoft. His name is Bill Gates.

This lady was diagnosed with clinical depression. Her marriage had failed, and she was jobless with a dependent child. She was on a four-hour delayed train journey from Manchester to London in the United Kingdom.

During the journey, she came up with an idea for a book about a wizard, and as she started writing. When she finished her manuscript, she took it to 12 publishers and was rejected by them all.

Believe it or not, that is J. K. Rowling, creator of the Harry Potter fantasy series, one of the most popular books and film franchises in history. She's now a billionaire.

Speaking at Harvard’s graduation, J.K. Rowling spoke about failures: “You might never fail on the scale I did,” Rowling told the new graduates. “But it is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all.”

So, failure is just a sign, showing us that we need to widen our scope, to be ready, and build ourselves up for the next level.

Actually, what we end up achieving is far greater than what we envisioned for ourselves.

This divine plan, this orchestration, can’t be happening without the intervention that occurs. If we had it our way we would just settle and accept the goals that we thought we were chasing.

But, when you don’t achieve what you’ve been chasing, further down the line you will look back and reflect. You will then realize that what you’ve gained is so much greater.

Failures are only failures when we DON’T learn from them. When we learn from them, they become lessons.

We can then extrapolate all of these teachings and get more insight into how we can improve the way we work and how we can drive with a different energy.

The challenge we have is that we only talk about people's failures when they succeed. That’s why it becomes taboo, and we feel like these famous people's failures never happened and success came easy to them.

We need to share these stories of failure. We need to bring out these stories and experiences that happened on the journey.

In this way, people who are on that journey can actually follow in those footsteps. That’s why Steve Jobs (founder of Apple) said: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.”

If you're serious about manifesting the life that you TRULY want… generating more income … and experiencing a powerfully abundant lifestyle for this year and beyond… you can GET STARTED RIGHT HERE!

The healthcare market is a growth segment. This is suggested not least by the demographic change in the population. But which brands are known and which are considered trustworthy by consumers? In 2018, we again investigated this question for the Most Trusted Brands study.

And while we noticed a change of the most trustworthy brand in medical skin care in 2017, the balance of power remained stable this year.

The winners “Most trusted brand health”

At the top of all brands is Aspirin from Bayer. Aspirin appears in 21% of all interviews with more than 4,000 respondents. Of all the people who have named a trademark in the category, even one in two refers to Bayer’s figurehead. This makes Aspirin the undisputed trustworthiest brand in one of the strongest health categories, namely painkillers.

Aspirin is followed by Wick in the cold and cough category. After all, one in three names this brand as their most trustworthy health brand in this category. The highest value is achieved by the hearing aid brand Kind in the respective category: 64% of all brand connoisseurs consider child to be the most trustworthy brand in the hearing aid segment. Almased also took first place, as in the previous year, for weight loss products, a brand that one in three connoisseurs of the market cite. After losing first place to the Bepanthen brand last year, Eucerin maintained its position as the most trusted medical skin care brand in 2018. Abbey maintains its leading position in vitamin products and Iberogast in digestive products.

The categories in detail

The markets differ considerably from one another. Below you will find an overview of the top 10 for each category. Just how diverse the world of brands is in the health care world becomes clear at first glance. Indeed, the ranking of consumer confidence has changed from year to year.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Most Trusted Brands Health 2018 – Overall Results

About the method

For the annual”Most Trusted Brands” study, we survey more than 4,000 Germans on behalf of Readers Digest as to which brand they trust most. The special: Consumers make their choices openly. This means that there is no ballot paper on which we list brands – instead, all participants spontaneously name the brands from memory. This unsupported form of question is a special feature: while a list of available trademarks may be influenced by specifications or comparisons, the open statement arises from spontaneous, implicit perception and thus provides us with a very strong value.

Brand observation and tracking are no new topics. But how do you make them flexible and agile enough to withstand faster business processes while maintaining the necessary sustainability?

Strong brands gain trust and provide orientation. Their role as signposts will become even more important with increasing digitisation. From the analysis of 8,000 innovations, we know that an innovation is only successful if it fits the brand.

We help to develop successful brands. To this end, Dialego has developed a brand tracking tool that meets both requirements. And always with one goal:

Gain realizable insights into brand management

The benefit of this instrument clearly lies in the continuous measurement of the success of a new or existing brand. This enables us to uncover potential for strategic brand management and optimize marketing and communication planning.

Dialego BrandSculpture – Implicit Measurement

How do we proceed?

In the regular online survey, the classic elements of brand funnel, brand associations and brand image for the own brand as well as for relevant competitors are collected. In addition, the implicit measurement of brand relationships with our BrandSculpture enables the representation of the important emotional component: Where does your brand stand in the intuitive, emotional perception of the consumer? Is it very close to him or far away? And why is that?

Every brand lives from the fact that it has a clear brand image and can sustainably set itself apart from the competitive environment, all while focusing on one’s own target group. It should always be up-to-date and keep up with the times, because people and markets are changing, sometimes faster than ever. The strength lies in the sustainable development of one’s own brand. Accordingly, we carry out brand tracking on a regular longitudinal basis, be it monthly, quarterly or annually. In order to be able to counter changes in the market, an ad hoc wave is possible at any time, even at short notice – both nationally and internationally.

Get results live in the interactive dashboard. We can create short reports and comments from “Everything on one page at a glance” to detailed views, depending on your needs. All countries as well as waves are condensed and can be displayed in detail. A very important role is played by a commented interactive results report with tailor-made recommendations, from which you can dive deeper into details with a click – if you wish.

The real-time update, including automated analysis of answers on open-ended questions, gives you access to the latest results and summaries. An authorization concept ensures who can view which report scope.

Random sample

The sample is classically broad, nationally – per country – representative. Alternatively, your target group can also be quoted specifically. Typical are n=1,000 per country with customization options according to your needs.

When it comes to timing, we will surprise you, because our experience makes it possible to go into the field with a very short lead time and deliver results quickly, even with a first wave.

Examples of our trackings

This is what our customers say:

Tracking the brand image is one of the strategic tasks of a company and requires special attention. The task is one of the core competences of our industry: Measure how well a brand is positioned, how it is perceived, where strengths and risks lie.

Gruner + Jahr GmbH & Co KGReader's Diges

Bayer – Global Brand Health

More than ten years ago, we implemented the worldwide digitalization of brand tracking for Bayer. We look at 70+ countries and nations in which an online survey is not feasible due to low Internet penetration. Wherever necessary, these are collected in the classical way and inserted digitally into the dashboard. In this example we look at: 400+ product brands, 260+ competitors, 400+ million data points, 2 million verbatims and 300,000+ interviews.

Implicit brand image measurement with BrandSculpture

The world’s first holistic view of a brand: Dialego BrandSculpture draws a holistic picture of the network of relationships between consumers and brands or products. This award-winning tool allows you to locate your brand’s position in the market segment in a fascinating way.

BrandSculpture is as efficient as it is easy to use. The results reveal emotional ties, purchasing potentials and brand substitution in a vivid presentation – with their help you can develop your brand into the darling of consumers.

BrandSculpture was awarded the German Market Research Prize: “Innovation of the Year”.

Interactive visualization in the dashboard

In our dashboards, large amounts of data are made clearly available. We design the dashboards individually according to your project needs, even different data sources can be syndicated. Our dashboards are always expandable and update themselves automatically when new data arrives.

Let us work as a team on your goals.

Vocal Ranges

Music Cataloging at YaleGeneral music cataloging resources

Vocal Ranges according to The New Harvard Dictionary of Music

Definitions for use in music cataloging

RDA does not define the ranges of vocal types. General practice is to follow the instructions given in the Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings section H 1917.5: Base vocal range on the verbal indication on the item. If no vocal range is indicated, use the ranges specified in the New Harvard Dictionary of Music:

Vocal ranges

These ranges correspond to the following:

High voice Medium voice Low voice
Soprano: C4-A5 Mezzo soprano: A3-F5 Alto: F3-D5
Tenor: B2-G4 Baritone: G2-E4 Bass: E2-C4

Note: these definitions, from the New Harvard Dictionary of Music, are used in music cataloging, using the Library of Congress Subject Headings and RDA.

Vocal ranges for solo or choral works may differ, as evidenced from the different ranges found in other sources.
For example, see:
° The Wikipedia article on vocal range, which gives different ranges for operatic works and choral works.
° Catherine Schmidt-Jones' article and chart.
° Grove Music Online definitions:

soprano: C4 to A5
mezzo-soprano: A3 to F#5
alto: G3 to E5 (and contralto as F3-D5)
tenor: roughly C3 to A4
baritone: A2 to F4
bass: F2 to E4

Octave designation: The International Standards Organization (ISO) system for register designations assigns "C4" to middle C (the first ledger line below the staff in treble clef). A commonly found British standard assigns "c1" to middle C.

Supplements that have fat in them need to be consumed with food, so take them with meals. Vitamin A, E, and K need to be taken with food to be properly absorbed. They work best if the food you are eating them with contains fat.

Vitamin B2 is an important part of your daily diet, and you can get this essential vitamin by eating bananas, dairy products, popcorn, green beans and more. Dry skin, parched lips, and low red blood cell count are all symptoms of deficiencies. The vitamin helps prevent anemia, cataracts and carpal tunnel syndrome and even cancer.

Sunlight and milk can get you the vitamin D you need. Take a supplement if you do not prefer milk. Vitamin D plays a major role when it comes to keeping your bones strong.

It’s never been more important to receive the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and nutrients. Processed foods just don’t offer us what we need. One way to make up for it is by taking daily multivitamins.

If you’re looking for a low cost way to improve your health and lifestyle, think about supplementing your regular diet with vitamins and minerals. Vitamins will definitely improve your health and diet, plus increase your mood and improve your visits with your doctor.

B12 absorption varies from person to person. You may eat a lot but absorb very little. You should get tested every year to make sure you have good B12 levels, and if they are low you may want to get a shot.

Always be skeptical about where you get information regarding minerals and vitamin supplements. Often ads are more focused on selling product than helping customers. Always question the information you get. Should you have doubts, speak with your physician about the supplement.

When your body is starved of certain nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and magnesium, it can affect your mental well-being. Omega-3 is a popular supplement for a good reason. This promotes a healthy brain and body. Calm your body with magnesium.

You can also boost your body’s metabolism of protein, cholesterol, and carbs. Black tea and whole grains are great sources for this nutrient.

B12 absorption varies from person to person. It’s possible to ingest a lot of it without actually absorbing any of it. You should get tested every year to make sure you have good B12 levels, and if they are low you may want to get a shot.

Oh come ON. Really? I mean, it’s just nothing to do with male business travellers preferring attractively slim female stewardesses, right?

Nah. Of course not. To hear their ridiculous explanation, hit the link.

Hardwell looks to sign off 2017 with part 1 of Hardwell on Air year mix

Having roused fans and followers around the world with his latest announcement of pairing with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike for a surprise back-2-back show, Dutch DJ and superstar producer Hardwell looks set to end 2017 mired in talks within the community. But what was overlooked or forgotten regarding Hardwell amidst all of this were the impressive and charitable performance that the Dutch DJ did at Mumbai under the banner of the Guestlist4Good enterprise and being announced as one of the highest selling Big Room artists. However, the ‘Cobra‘ hit-maker looks to calm the waters and end the year with the much awaited Hardwell On Air year mix – with Part 1 of the podcast episode already out.

While those lacking patience will keep guessing what the second part will have to offer, it will suffice to say that Part 1 of the mix does a stellar job of summarizing the year’s releases from not only Hardwell’s own Revealed Recordings but also those on Diplo’s Mad Decent, Dob Diablo’s Hexagon and W&W’s Mainstage Music imprint. A 23-track medley, the mix features music from the likes of Headhunterz, Sephyx, NWYR, Olly James, W&W, Maddix, Dash Berlin, Moksi, KAAZE, Quintino, Kill The Buzz, Row Rocka, RIVERO & Wasback, Don Diablo and the taste-making Dutchman himself. All in all, part 1 takes a quick look at the success that Revealed Recordings has had over the year in 2017 and, while the 2nd part is still awaited, it sets up the label, its artists and Hardwell up for an even better year ahead.

Check out last year’s Hardwell On Air year mix here.

This month topic is brought to us by L’Dene Bean of Nitpickin’s who asks: Why, and how did you pick your corporation? Is your loyalty solid or just until a better placed organization “recruits” you. The shorter version: Who holds your Unshakable Fealty and why?

I am proud to say that my loyalty to Greenbeard’s Freebooters is nearly seven-and-a-half years strong.

For pretty much the entirety of the existence of EVE Online, Seismic Stan has been a member (and currently CEO) of Greenbeard’s Freebooters. It’s become a badge of honour as I would imagine it’s fairly rare to see a character in-game so old with only a single corporate affiliation. On a related note, Greenbeard himself has exhibited significantly less devotion to his own organisation, which is why his official title has for a long time been ‘scurvy turncoat’.

Undoubtedly, it has on occasion become restrictive. There have been times when I have been tempted by other offers and the final decision has come down to my unwillingness to ruin my unbroken streak. You may think such blind loyalty is stupid, and to an extent you’re probably right, but there is one simple reason for my unswerving fealty.

In a game whose developers appear to delight in coaxing the darkest and most sociopathic deeds from it’s playerbase in an environment that actively encourages duplicity, deception and theft, creating an island of trust is priceless. Greenbeard’s Freebooters is a corporation comprising only real-life friends of over two-decades and this creates a fundamental bond of trust that protects us from and trivialises any EVE-based maliciousness.

For a time though, it wasn’t always that way. Greenbeard’s Freebooters was originally created in 2003 as an ‘alt-corp’. The corporation’s primary purpose was to allow players from a number of allied corporations (anyone still out there from Arachnid Industries, Blackstar Mining or Beyond Worlds?), to occasionally do shady things with backup characters without any detriment to our mains (with whom we’d be busy mining, manufacturing, missioning and all other things carebear). I have faint memories of assorted griefing and harassment activities that took place with varying degrees of success.

However as time progressed and players came and went, our taste in play-styles shifted. With every expansion New Eden evolved, rules changed, alliances rose and fell, agreements were forgotten and somewhere along the way our alts became our mains. It was never really by design, but only those of us who knew each other in real-life remained. After a period of inactivity we returned to New Eden and it turned out that playing the roles of a rag-tag bunch of ne’er-do-well space bums was just far more fun than dull rock-mining industrialists.

We’ve stumbled along quite happily ever since, the only flaw with our insular little EVE bubble is just that, it’s a little insular. Which is nice for the most part, but EVE is a social game where numbers count so sometimes it’s good to have some friends. We’ve attempted to remedy this on a couple of occasions by joining alliances, but for reasons documented elsewhere on this blog, it’s never quite worked out for us.

So we’re going to try a different tack and attempt to expand Greenbeard’s Freebooters, throwing open the doors of active recruitment for the first time in over half a decade. We’ll be looking for just a few folk who don’t take their EVE gaming too seriously, aren’t easily offended and think that they could fit in with the Freebooters. We have just rejoined Factional Warfare under the Amarrian flag and as we’re UK-based, our EVE prime-time is 1900-2300 EVEtime, which would be the most likely time we’d get a squad together.

If you think you fit the bill, drop into the OLD POND PUB channel for more details. Feel free to chat to the folks in there. Most of them won’t be any help, but they’re quite funny.

Local Farmers Markets

Photo by Marion Riedl

One of the best things about West Michigan is the fresh goodness of locally grown fruits and vegetables. Various farm markets around the region offer a bounty of the best-tasting produce around. Shopping for fresh produce is convenient, with many of the local farm markets open from May until September or October.

Here are dates and times for 2021 Farmers Markets:

Ludington's farmers market operates from 3pm-7pm on Fridays May 28-September 24 at the North James Street Plaza. The Ludington Market will be located in Legacy Plaza, downtown Ludington.

Scottville's farmers market returns in 2021 and will operate on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm on the sidewalks in downtown Scottville.May 15-September 25, 2021.

Pentwater has two farmers markets during the summer months, one on Mondays and one on Thursdays. Both are from 10am to 1pm on the Pentwater Village Green. June 7-September 6, 2021.

Manistee's farmers market is located on Memorial Drive and is open from 9am to 12pm Saturdays. May 29-October 2, 2021.

West Michigan Harvests

Although the seasons are dependent upon the weather, we've listed the time periods when local crops typically are harvested.

Late April-June: Asparagus, Raspberries, Rhubarb, Strawberries

July-August: Apples, Blackberries, Blueberries, Cherries, Corn, Green Beans, Peaches, Raspberries, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Watermelons, Zucchini

September-October: Apples, Green Beans, Tomatoes, Watermelons, Zucchini

Interested in learning more about local agriculture? Read our story about the Agricultural Trail in Mason & Oceana Counties and download a brochure for more details.

Spring Goodness

Asparagus starts the season in the spring, with Michigan being the third largest producer in the nation. Oceana County is actually known as the "Asparagus Capital of the World," due to its high production of this healthy crop.

Also in the spring comes the maple syrup, a true American sweetener. Here in Mason County, Kistlercrest Farm on Old PM Highway produces about 1,200 gallons of syrup every year. The real thing is thinner than the brands of syrup you buy in the supermarket, but the taste is far superior. The Kistlers also make maple sugar candy, granulated maple sugar, and at Christmas, maple cream candies.

Summer Fresh!

As summer arrives, so does the fresh bounty of fruits and vegetables, including apples, cherries, lettuce, sweet corn, and strawberries. Local farm markets and even roadside stands sell the freshest produce, picked daily. Near the end of summer, it's blueberry time. Michigan tops the list for the most blueberries grown in the nation. Various U-picks in the area let you grab a basket and choose your own blueberries.

Fall Harvest

Autumn is a wonderful time in West Michigan, with cool temperatures, trees sprouting gorgeous colors of reds, yellows, and oranges, and best of all...pumpkins! Driving through the countryside in search of the perfect pumpkin is enjoyable in itself, but once you arrive at your destination, you're in for a treat. Many farms offer corn mazes, hayrides, and pumpkin decorating, just in time for Halloween.
