After suffering a seven-game losing streak, with five of those losses by a combined eight runs, the Benton Sport Shop Dirtbags snapped that skid this past Thursday with a doubleheader sweep over Searcy on the road. Sport Shop downed Searcy 6-3 in the first game before routing 14-2. The two wins improve Sport Shop to 7-9 overall.
The Dirtbags picked up a run in the top of the first of Game 2 when Austin Hillis reached with one out after getting hit by a pitch, stole second and went to third on a ground out before scoring on a passed ball for the 1-0 lead.
Searcy tied things up in the bottom of the inning on an error, but Sport Shop pulled away in the top of the third, scoring all four runs with two outs. Ty Jackson reached on a one-out error, and after a fly out, Jackson Regan walked. Reed Gautreaux followed with a 2-run double to give the Dirtbags the lead for good.
Searcy got within 5-2, scoring on another error in the fourth, but Benton would break it open in the fifth, putting up a 9-spot to put the game out of reach. Highlights included a 2-run single by Logan Bragg and a 2-run single by Jackson.
Benton needed just six hits in the win as the Dirtbags were issued eight walks. Jackson finished 2 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs, Gautreaux was 1 for 2 with three runs and two RBIs, and Bragg was 1 for 2 with two RBIs. Junior Acosta scored thrice while going 1 for 3 and Jesse Oliver was 1 for 2 with a run.
Regan started and was excellent on the mound. He gave up just three hits and a walk being charged with two unearned runs. He struck out five in five complete innings.
In Game 1, Sport Shop had just three hits, but five Searcy errors helped the Dirtbags out, as did five walks.
Benton picked up its first run aided by an error as Jackson reached on a miscue and went to second on another error before stealing third. Hillis’ RBI ground out plated the first run. Jackson made it a 3-0 game with an RBI single in the second.
Searcy got within 3-1 in the third, but Benton put up two more in the fourth to take a 5-1 lead, holding on for the 3-run win.
Jackson finished 2 for 3 with two runs and an RBI, while Cole Babcock went 1 for 3. Dawson Goines started and picked up the win giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits and five walks, striking out four in 5.2 innings.
Up next for the Dirtbags is the Junior Zone Tournament (Area 3) in Carlisle. Benton will take on Carlisle Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the double-elimination tourney.

Who is Althouse? * View only LAW posts * Contribute * Use my Amazon Portal
Regarding the shopping post: 1. Why do you feel you need minimum wage workers to tell you a story about merchandise you probably shouldn't buy anyway?2. Other than groceries, you never pay the sticker price on apparel or soft goods. You bargain them down.Who pays retail? You lived with a Jew for donkey's years....not to mention New York Jews accustomed to haggling with salespeople----the NY shops must see you coming a mile away....begging to pay sticker.Dell has more Jew in her than you. At least she knows a bargain, and second-hand discounts.Shop the Jewish way---it's a steal !Love, Maxine
As for 1... When did I say I need that? I just confessed that the technique worked on me.And as for 2, well, what that got to do with the morning fog?
Congrats on the 11 millionth visitor. I guess the next milestone is 11,111,111. Wouldn't it be cool to hit that number on November 11th? At precisely 11:11 a.m. [and eleven seconds].
Althouse: "what that got to do with the morning fog?"It's called cognative dissonance, and I elevate it to a high art form.
I don't think it's fog. It's out of focus, or the camera moved at the long exposure time. Like what happens to most of my shots most of the time. You have a much better camera, whatever it is.On the other hand a slow camera - rarely but sometimes - is handy, as at yesterday morning's dawn pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 were unexpectedly pastel, in the autumn leaf dawn with frost on the lawn.
rhhardin, those are beautiful photos.

The Franchise Owner's most trusted news source
SACRAMENTO—The California state senate voted 23 - 9 late Thursday in favor of SB 610, a bill that strengthens franchisor good faith relations with franchisees. It is now ready for Governor Jerry Brown's signature to become law. Although its proponents considered the bill a small tweak in franchise law, a clarification that would diminish lawsuits, opponents thought the opposite and have fiercely fought against its passage. The Los Angeles Times called the battle between franchisees, such as 7-Eleven and McDonald's owners, and the large franchising firms that control the franchisees' business operations one of the top business legal fights of the year for California.
"[SB] 610 will protect franchisees from unfair contract terminations while continuing to allow franchisors to terminate poor performers and those who hurt the franchise brand," said the bill's author, Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, in introducing it to the floor of the state senate earlier in the afternoon for a vote. Senator Jackson pointed out that the right in the bill for franchisees to sell their businesses to qualified third parties were created for auto dealer franchises in 1973 under then-Governor Reagan. She added, "The bill reaffirms franchisees' right to free association and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that already applies to all contracts under California contract law."
The International Franchise Association (IFA), a Washington, D.C.-based association formed in 1960 by a group of franchisors, has fiercely fought to stop the bill. "SB 610 has been, and continues to be, a solution in search of a problem that does not exist," says the association's chief executive Steve Caldeira.
But the majority of California lawmakers did not see it that way. They voted for the bill's passage.
"IFA's broad-based, pro-business coalition will continue to vigorously fight to defeat this bill," insists Steve Caldeira, the association's CEO. "We are truly disappointed that the senate passed such a burdensome bill for the franchise industry in California." His opponents encountered attorneys of multinational corporations, who queued up to kill the bill. One small business franchise owner recalled stepping into an office for an appointment with a senator only to see five individuals with expensive suits, whom he recognized from the IFA and their alliance of lobbying groups, stepping out.
"It was apparent that a lot of out-of-state money was spent to stop the bill," says Keith Miller, who owns three franchise sandwich shops near Sacramento.
Robert Purvin, chairman and CEO of the Southern California-based American Association of Franchisees and Dealers (AAFD), which sponsored the bill, was ecstatic over its passage. The organization is a 20-year association that acts to protect franchisees. "Today we celebrate a monumental success in protecting the rights and equity of franchise owners in this state, a victory that was achieved against long odds and aggressive opposition," Purvin said.
What is striking about this win is that franchised small business owners have, through one failure after another in state after state, quickly gained a better understanding of winning strategies to implement against the overwhelming odds of big Wall Street companies, deep funding and at least half a century of established lobbying might.
These small business owners saw their efforts produce results. Senate Bill 610 was first passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It passed a full vote by a margin of one on the senate floor. Franchisees managed to pass the bill in the Assembly Judiciary Committee, and then it passed the assembly's Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee.
The IFA's Caldeira wants to paint this as a battle between his organization and the mighty unions. "It is now crystal clear that there has been a blatant misinformation campaign against our industry led by organized labor, and in particular, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)," says the IFA's chief executive.
What he is referring to is that as the political arena became tougher and doors shut, these small business owners realized that they needed to do something different if they wanted to win, something to change the long built-up resistance of the establishment and the status quo. They looked at broadening their coalition to include an unlikely partner, one that typically is regarded as an untouchable enemy – labor unions. Likewise, the SEIU realized that if they ever wanted to increase employee wages, they had to help increase the profit margins of franchise owners.
"We believe that the near absolute power that franchisors currently have is bad for every other stakeholder in the franchise business, including both franchisees and workers," states the California spokesperson for the SEIU, Christopher Calhoun. "Bringing more fairness and balance back to small businesses will ultimately help workers too."
That broader coalition helped with passage in the Professions and Consumer Protection Committee. Then came a squeaker of a vote by 41, the minimal number to pass in the assembly. Next came the vote on the floor of the state senate. But even with the help of the well seasoned Service Employees International Union, Sacramento watchers gave the bill only a 50-50 chance of passage against the heavy lobbying against it, despite the bill having passed the senate before. It had to go back to a vote on the senate floor after amendments were made to add more clarity to the well-established legal term "good faith and fair dealing."
Franchisees stepped up. In the end, the bill gained more votes in the senate compared to the first time around last year.
Keith Miller thinks Thursday's passage of the bill shows that the strategy is paying off. Thursday was a good day. "Franchisees have overcome overwhelming odds to get the bill this far," says the multi-unit franchisee, who is also chairman of the 7-year-old Coalition of Franchisee Associations based in Washington, D.C. It represents franchisees from some of the country's largest chains – Burger King, 7-Eleven, Supercuts, Holiday Inn and many others. Miller thinks what was key to this win was hundreds of California franchisees contacting their legislators.
Whatever the lobbying strategy used, Caldeira says that the end result of Governor Brown signing the bill will be harm to California's economy. "If signed into law, SB 610 would without question shift franchise brands to more company-owned stores, thereby taking away ownership opportunities for both existing and prospective entrepreneurs in the state and would severely hinder franchise small business growth throughout California," he says.
But Mr. Jaspreet Dhillon, a franchise owner of a Reseda 7-Eleven, reminds Mr. Caldeira that sellers of franchises sell where there is strong demand. And strong demand comes where investors in franchises feel better protected. "With SB 610 on his desk, Governor Brown now has the opportunity to help small businesses like mine grow and succeed." Dhillon urges the governor to protect small businesses and California jobs by signing the bill into law.

On January 26, the Democratic Party presidential candidates compete in a primary election in the southern state of South Carolina. It is the first primary in a state with a large African-America population, and that is expected to affect the outcome. VOA's Jeff Swicord reports.
The top Democratic Party front-runners converged on South Carolina this week, attending the annual Martin Luther King Day rally at the state capitol in Columbia. They spoke warmly of the slain civil rights leader in a state with one of the largest per capita African-American populations in the country.
South Carolina is the first southern primary state, and often sets the tone for other southern states with significant African-American populations.
Scott Huffman is a professor of southern politics at Winthrop University in Rock Hill South Carolina. He says race and gender will play a significant role on primary day. "African-Americans make up about 30 percent of South Carolina's overall population but they will make up to about 50 percent of the Democratic primary vote on election day."
Early opinion polls show Senator Hillary Clinton had a significant lead in South Carolina prior to the Iowa caucuses. Both she and husband, former President Bill Clinton, have strong ties to African-American leaders across the country.
Professor Huffman says African-American support began to change in South Carolina when Senator Barack Obama won Iowa, a state with a 2.5 percent black population. "The black voters in South Carolina realized white voters will vote for Barack Obama. That caused a trickle of soft supporters of Hillary Clinton to begin moving over to Barack Obama. And his lead in the African-American community has been growing ever since."
Both campaigns have been working hard to overcome their demographic weaknesses. The Obama campaign flew in their chief operating officer, Betsy Myers, to hold events like one near Charleston, targeting women voters.
She spent most of her career working on women's issues and served as the director of women's initiatives in Bill Clinton's White House. "Women make up more of the voters these days and actually there has been a gender gap all the way back to the Reagan election in 1980. So women vote and their voice matters. This campaign cares deeply about American women and making sure they have a seat at the table," she said.
Her message this night was about leadership, an issue that is important to many undecided voters like Ellen Elmaleh. She says, "I want strong leadership, I don't want to be a warring nation. I don't want to have a war against anything. I want to be for things, not against things."
The Clinton campaign has also brought in some well-known figures to try and shore up they're declining support in the African-American community. Democratic Congresswomen Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas told us, "I think that Senator Clinton would be the better presidential candidate for a number of reasons. It is important to have experience, deep-rooted experience. It is important to have strength of leadership. But you combine that with ideas passion and heart. I see that in her candidacy and her leadership," Jackson said.
Not all South Carolinians are thinking along race and gender lines. Many, like college student Jessica Gourdin, are simply looking for the best candidate. "I am just trying to stick with the issues. Because, race and gender, people are always going to look towards that to make their choice. I am trying to stick with the basic issues like who is the better candidate in the end," Gourdin said.
Recent opinion polls show Barack Obama with a 10 point lead over Hillary Clinton. South Carolina is a state with a lot of soft, or undecided, voters. Just one month ago, Clinton had a 10 point lead. But as the nation learned in New Hampshire, where Obama was expected to win but then lost by two percent, polls can be wrong.

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman Face Front On New "EW" Cover
This year, The Oatmeal dominates the Eisner Best Digital comic category as “the one that most people have heard of.” That’s pretty much in direct contrast to last year, which was populated by five relatively obscure titles. It’s a testament, I think, to the far-reaching diversity of webcomics, where few ever become pop culture superstars but many have devoted fanbase. You had indie-style comics like Ant Comic and It Will All Hurt, the haunting short story Our Bloodstained Roof and the classic Thimble Theater-inspired art of Oyster War.
The eventual winner, though, was the one that most closely resembled a traditional comic. Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover’s Bandette (Monkeybrain Comics) was the first Eisner winner that had to be downloaded from comiXology — a true “digital comic” as opposed to a “webcomic.” I imagine that the familiar panel layout was the one least likely to send traditionalists into paroxysms. Heck, the tone of the story itself feels very much like a throwback to both Silver Age comic stories and European all-ages fare like The Adventures of Tintin. But so what? It’s old school, and in a way that made it refreshingly novel.
Conventions | Rob Salkowitz, author of Comic-Con and the Business of Pop Culture, looks at the uptick in comics conventions — he pegs ticket sales at $600 million, which is 80 percent of the dollar value of the whole comics market — and discusses some recent events and trends, including the new cons that are popping up all over and the increased international interest in connvetions outside the United States.

Creators | Frannie Jackson talks with a handful of prominent creator couples — Mike Allred and Laura Allred, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction, Colleen Coover and Paul Tobin — about sexism within the comics industry. “I’m occasionally invited to participate in panel discussions about ‘women in comics,’” Coover says. “I’m usually emotionally torn by those invitations, because, yeah, I want women in comics to thrive and be seen as thriving, but I’d much rather be part of a discussion about ‘awesome creators in comics’ that’s stacked with awesome women and men.” [Paste]
Retailing | Andrew Wyrich visits several comics shops in the North Jersey area and finds they rely on a friendly atmosphere and incentive programs to keep customers coming back. “People who buy comics tend to have a $40 weekly budget,” said Len Katz, co-owner of The Joker’s Child in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. “We hear of people who love comics, but eventually just hit a wall with expenses. The key for us is to get customers coming back. The reality is we are not a necessary item; we aren’t milk, bread or cheese.” [The Record]
Three years ago, the folks at Act-i-vate kicked off Panels for Primates, a webcomic anthology in which various writers and artists created comics about monkeys, apes and other primates. The comic was free, but readers were encouraged to donate to the Primate Rescue Center in Nicholsville, Kentucky. The roster of contributors to the comic is impressive, with such creators as David Petersen, Rick Geary and Fred Van Lente involved.
Now the comics have been collected into a digital anthology on comiXology, published, appropriately, by Monkeybrain. Actually, two anthologies: Panels for Primates Junior is suitable for all ages, while Panels for Primates is rated 15+. The kids’ version looks very cute and has some good creators on board, including Rich Clabaugh, Mike Maihack, and J. Bone, but the lineup for the 15+ version is irresistible: Stan Lee, Paul Kupperberg (writer of Life with Archie and a former writer for the tabloid Weekly World News), Faith Erin Hicks, Colleen Coover, Molly Crabapple and ROBOT 6 contributor Michael May — just imagine what these people can do with monkeys!
The kids’ book is $8.99 and the adult anthology is $9.99, and once again, proceeds from both will go to the Primate Rescue Center.

Thompson, who with her late husband Don was a longtime editor of the Comics Buyer’s Guide, estimates that she has 10,000 comics, all stored in a special vault-like addition to her home, which she built using the money from a previous sale, of Amazing Fantasy #15 (the first appearance of Spider-Man) and the first 100 issues of The Amazing Spider-Man. Bidding on the first batch of comics, which includes The Avengers #1, Journey into Mystery #83 (first appearance of Thor), The Incredible Hulk #1, and original cover art from Conan #4, begins today.

On the heels of winning the Eisner Award for best digital comic, Bandette creators Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover have released a fifth free installment of Bandette: Urchin Stories, this time teaming Tobin with cartoonist Erika Moen (DAR!, Bucko).
If, for some reason, you’re not yet familiar with Bandette, the Monkeybrain Comics series follows the adventures of a costumed thief who gleefully leads a group of urchins through the streets of Paris, serving on the side of justice, except when an old-fashioned heist proves too fun to resist. A print collection will be published in November by Dark Horse.
Launched in October 2012 to supplement the main series, Urchin Stories, as the title suggests, focuses on the supporting cast, with each short tale drawn by a different art. The latest installment turns the spotlight on the newest, and youngest, urchin, Belda. The previous stories can be found on the Monkeybrain website.
Awards | Witch Hunts: A Graphic History of the Burning Times, written by Rocky Wood and Lisa Morton and illustrated by Greg Chapman, won the Bram Stoker Award for superior achievement in a graphic novel, presented over the weekend by the Horror Writers Association.

Graphic novels | Heidi MacDonald looks at Dark Horse’s plans to expand its Originals line of creator-owned graphic novels this year; upcoming releases include print editions of Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover’s Bandette and Cameron Stewart’s Sin Titulo, as well as a new graphic novel, Bad Houses, by Sara Ryan and Carla Speed McNeil. [Publishers Weekly]
This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the Bay Area’s Alternative Press Expo, and Comic-Con International has announced the special guests who will be in attendance when it returns to the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco Oct. 12-13 for what will be its last show at the venue.
This year’s special guests are:
APE was started in 1994 by SLG Publishing’s Dan Vado and was held in San Jose until 1999. It moved to San Francisco after that and has been held at the Concourse since 2004. But according to CCI, the show will be looking for a new home next year. “Sadly, we have been notified that this will be the last year for APE at that location,” a statement on the show’s website reads. “The Concourse is scheduled to be razed at some point in the future to make room for new condominiums.”
To celebrate the four Eisner Award nominations for Paul Tobin and Colleen Cover’s Bandette — Best New Series, Best Digital Comic, Best Penciler/Inker and Best Coloring — Monkeybrain Comics is offering the first issue for free on comiXology through the entire voting period.
The series, which debuted in July, follows a costumed thief who gleefully leads a group of urchins through the streets of Paris, serving on the side of justice, except when an old-fashioned heist proves too fun to resist. Bandette is every bit as entertaining as it sounds.
It’s become an annual tradition during our birthday bash: No matter how much stuff we line up, people we interview, etc., there are still tons of people we like to hear from and include in our giant New Year’s/anniversary/birthday activities. So, as we have in past years, we have asked various comics folks what they liked in 2012 and what they are excited about for 2013.
Check out Part One, and keep reading to see more of what people shared with us, including details on their upcoming projects. Our thanks to everyone who responded this year. Also, thanks again to Tim O’Shea, Michael May and Chris Arrant, who helped collect responses.

- Fiber: 0.6g
- Sodium: 16mg
- Cholesterol: 11mg
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (1/8 lb.) butter, cut into chunks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1. In a 3- to 4-quart heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat, stir sugar, cream, and corn syrup, continually scraping the bottom of the pan with a heatproof flexible spatula, until sugar is completely dissolved, about 15 minutes. Stir in unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate until melted. Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to a simmer.
- 2. Cook, occasionally stirring mixture and brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush, until mixture reaches 235° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and pour into the bowl of a standing mixer or another large bowl. Add butter and vanilla but do not stir; insert candy thermometer and let mixture stand undisturbed until cooled to 110°, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- 3. Line a 9-inch square pan with foil; lightly butter foil. With the paddle attachment of standing mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon, beat the chocolate mixture vigorously (on high speed if using mixer; reduce speed if motor starts to labor) until mixture thickens and loses its glossy sheen, about 5 minutes with a mixer, about 10 minutes by hand. Scrape into pan, smooth top, and chill until firm to the touch, at least 2 hours, or up to 1 day.
- 4. Lift foil to remove fudge from pan; cut fudge into 1-inch squares. Store cut fudge airtight in the refrigerator up to 1 week. To keep longer (up to 1 month), wrap uncut fudge airtight and chill; cut into squares as you want to use it. Serve at room temperature.
- Candy basics:
- Before you begin, read the recipe all the way through and assemble all the tools and ingredients you will need. Many candy recipes require that you act quickly once the sugar syrup reaches the desired temperature. Use care when working with hot sugar syrup, as it can cause severe burns.
- Choose the right pans. Heavy-bottomed stainless steel pans are best for cooking sugar mixtures. Thin, lightweight pans tend to conduct heat--and cook sugar syrup--unevenly.
- Use a candy thermometer when called for. They measure temperatures up to 400°. You'll find them in the kitchen-gadget section of many supermarkets, priced between $10 and $20.
- Submerge the bottom of the thermometer completely in the sugar syrup to get an accurate reading. Using a narrow pan with tall sides makes the mixture deeper, but, if necessary, you can gently tilt a shallower pan to submerge the thermometer bottom.
- Melt chocolate gently for best results. If chocolate gets too hot, it may not set properly and will develop "bloom" (white streaks) on the surface when stored. Stirring chopped chocolate in a pan or bowl over hot, not simmering, water maintains an even, low temperature, resulting in glossy, firmly set chocolate.
- Fudge pointers:
- Dissolve the sugar completely over low heat (step 1) before bringing the mixture to a simmer. Using superfine sugar, also sold as "baker's sugar," makes this easier. To check whether the sugar has dissolved, scrape the pan bottom with a heatproof spatula, pull the spatula up, let the syrup on it cool for a few seconds, then rub a drop between your fingers. If you can feel grains of sugar, it hasn't dissolved yet.
- Prevent sugar crystals from forming on the sides of the pan in step 2 by brushing down the sides with a wet pastry brush a few times.
- Let the mixture cool to lukewarm (exactly 110°) before beating it (step 3); otherwise, the fudge may stiffen and become grainy. Pouring it into a large, shallow bowl helps it cool faster, but don't stir it too early.
- Beat the fudge well once it has cooled to 110°. Chocolate fudge thickens more than maple fudge at this stage, but both dull slightly and take on a lighter color after beating; that's when they're ready to pour into the pan.
- Nutritional analysis per ounce.
Notes: You will need a candy thermometer to make this fudge. Be sure to read "Candy Basics" and "Fudge Pointers" before beginning.

The other day I wrote about How Being Social Helps Me as a Writer and an Editor, and now here's my post about how I learned how to do that.
My parents are both very nice people, and they are thoroughly introverted. Their home is their restful place away from other people. They don't get the notion to invite friends over. It's just not their thing, and that's okay.
Anyone looking at me when I was a child, if they were inclined to think about introverts and extraverts, would surely have thought I'd turn out to be an introvert. I was shy and quiet. I liked to read. I played by myself, and didn't really understand other kids. I didn't smile much, and when I did it was with my lips closed. I was SERIOUS.
Anyone who saw me then and saw me now, with a gap in between, would think that the child they'd seen had been replaced by someone else. Anyone who knows me now would be SHOCKED at the quiet mini-me, if they could see her. I'm just so different. So what happened?
We moved from a small town to the suburb of a big city just a couple of weeks after I turned twelve, when I was in the middle of sixth grade. The move was a big change, and I was suddenly around a whole new set of kids who had no expectations about what I was like. I didn't transform all at once, but I was trying new things simply by having to meet new people and make new friends if I wanted any, and then over the next few years I was increasingly interested in boys, too. I had the inclination to be extraverted, but it took me a while to develop some of my social skills because I needed to be around more people to learn them. It worked well for me to learn the ways of introverts when I was younger, fitting in with my family, but as a teenager I found that I wanted to expand outward and understand how to interact with people better.
Then I went too far with that and became clingy and needy, which made people push me away. That was upsetting, so I turned to self-help books.
The best one, strangely, was called Intimate Connections, by David D. Burns, M.D. I say "strangely" because the premise of this book is that in order to develop good friendships and find love, you need to learn how to really enjoy being alone. How to treat yourself as well as someone you would date. So I was learning how to be social by learning how to be alone. It's odd that a person growing up with introverted parents would need to learn that being alone is good, given examples of people who craved alone time, but I did. This was a life-changing book for me at a time when I really needed it.
What I learned was that there's a reason for this phenomenon most people know about: when you're single and looking for someone to date, or you're lonely and looking for friends, it's often hard to find them because you have a needy vibe. People sense that you want them to fix your life, and this is off-putting. When you stop looking and start to enjoy being single and don't even want to date, instantly you meet people who want to date you. It's because you're happy with your life, and happiness is attractive. Therefore, depending on a relationship to make you happy, or friends to make you happy, will limit your ability to have relationships and friendships. It's important to find your own happiness. The trick is to like yourself.
Everything I've learned about being social since then has been layered on top of that principle. It's not about being selfish or putting myself first; it's about treating myself well, and maintaining my own stability so that I can give affection to others, and listen, and be helpful whenever possible. This means knowing my own limits so that I can say "no" when I need to. I can't help everyone all the time. I have to do my own stuff. But if I have some time and there's something I can give freely and without resentment, I give it.

The Institute for Supply Management’s factory index jumped to 55.4, exceeding the highest projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists, from 50.9 in the prior month, according to the Tempe, Arizona-based group. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. A separate report showed first-time claims for unemployment insurance fell to the lowest in five years.
Stocks rallied on signs of a global production pickup extending from China through Europe and as central banks pledged to maintain stimulus. Strength in U.S. manufacturing, which accounts for about 12 percent of the world’s largest economy, underscores the Federal Reserve’s view that the expansion will gain momentum as the impact of federal budget cuts wanes.
“The Fed has been looking for an acceleration in second-half growth, and this is probably the first real sign that that’s going to happen,” saidMichael Feroli, a former Fed staff member who is now chief U.S. economist for JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York. “It probably gives them some comfort that their forecast may be shaping up.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed 1.3 percent to 1,706.87 at the close of trading in New York, topping 1,700 for the first time. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note jumped to 2.71 percent from 2.58 percent late yesterday.
Applications for unemployment insurance payments declined by 19,000 to 326,000 in the week ended July 27, the lowest since January 2008, from a revised 345,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said today in Washington.
More jobs are continually to be added to the economy. In July 185,000 jobs were added. This is a steady upward swing from the 195,000 cumulative increase in jobs for May and June. It is estimated the jobless rate declined in July to 7.5 percent from 7.6 percent the previous month.
The 4.5-point increase in the ISM gauge from June was the biggest since June 1996. The median forecast of 84 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for the index to climb to 52. Estimates ranged from 49.6 to 53.5.
Around the globe factories are showing signs of stabilizing. U.K. manufacturing growth accelerated more than economists forecast in July. That increase was mirrored in Europe where manufacturing grew more than initially estimated, while China’s official factory index also showed expansion.
The ISM’s U.S. data showed a measure of orders climbed to a more than two-year high, while a gauge of production was the strongest since May 2004.

Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr
This is probably the most common meal in Saudi Arabia. There are lots of veggies and is the only recipe that you need to make for supper. You may want to include some type of flatbread, but that's about it! This is delicious and not at all hard to make. Enjoy!
- 1⁄4 cup cooking oil
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 2 -3 lbs chicken, cut up
- 1 (12 ounce) can tomato puree
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 cups hot water
- 2 carrots, grated
- grated rind of one orange, just the orange layer and none of the white
- 3 sticks cinnamon
- 4 cloves
- 4 cardamom pods
- salt & pepper
- 1 lb long grain rice
- 1⁄4 cup raisins
- 1⁄4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- Sautee onion in oil over medium-high heat until it begins to brown. Turn heat to low and add chicken pieces, tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and garlic and stir for about five minutes. Add hot water, grated carrot, orange rind, spices, salt and pepper to taste. Turn up heat to medum and cook, covered, for about 20-25 minutes, until chicken is done.
- Remove chicken. Set aside to keep warm. Stir rice into the liquid in the pan, and cook, covered over low heat for about 35 - 40 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
- Remove cinnamon, cloves and cardamom or warn your guests to look out for them!
- Put rice on a serving with chicken pieces arranged around the circumference. Sprinkle raisins and almonds over all.
This was an excellent main dish to go with Barb's salad. Only adjustment I made to the recipe was adding about 1/2cup sauteed swiss chard to the dish. It's delicious. Made for forum event: Let's Go to Saudi Arabia
This is good but had a bit much orange flavour and I cut down the zest somewhat. So when I make this again I will either omit the orange zest or just add a pinch most probably. The orange addition to me made it taste kind of Moroccan not Saudi. I used canola oil, yellow onions, less tomato puree (paste), fresh tomatoes made this very good, a bit less carrot, a little less cinnamon, white Basmati rice, brown raisins, I toasted the sliced almonds in butter, Yummy!! I would make this again as stated in the review. Made for Family Picks, ZWT6 NA*ME regions, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.

ansaong village, Prey Veng province – Police here have arrested two suspects in an alleged political killing here, claiming the slaying was the result of a long-simmering family dispute.
But family members on Wednesday disputed the police version of events and said they were not aware of any family conflicts.
Phon Phoun, 32, a political activist, was gunned down June 14 in this quiet village 20 km north of the Vietnamese border.
Funcinpec has charged that this death and another execution-style slaying on the same night, both in Kompong Trabek district, were meant to intimidate their party’s grassroots activities.
Phon Phoun had been a member of Funcinpec since 1992 but apparently joined the Reastr Niyum party in the weeks before his death.
In the second slaying, the wife of a second deputy district Funcinpec official was slain by unidentified gunmen.
Police on Monday arrested Phon Phoun’s nephew, Seng Yorn, 25, and Pin Saveth, 45, the CPP deputy chief of commune, on charges of murder, said Ros Vanna, chief of the criminal investigation department for Prey Veng police.
Ros Vanna blamed the killing on a long-running family dispute over money being sent by relatives living in Australia. Phon Phoun was accused of not sharing the funds, he said.
On June 13, he added, the dispute boiled over when Seng Yorn accused Phon Phoun of “making the girl next door not love him.”
The next evening, just before
8 pm, two men entered Phon Phoun’s stilted house, pointed a gun at him and asked for a small amount of gold, which he denied having. In front of Phon Phoun’s wife, 2-month old son and mother-in-law, the men ordered him to lie down, tied his hands behind his back and marched him outside.
Moments later, three gunshots rang out throughout the village.
Ros Vanna said he arrested the two men on the basis of testimony from Phon Phoun’s wife, Chhuk Hieng, that she recognized their faces when they entered the house. But Phon Phoun’s mother-in-law, Khem Seng, 74, said the men’s faces were wrapped in kramas and neither she nor her daughter knew who the men were.
Khem Seng, interviewed on the steps outside the family house, then showed how the kramas were wrapped around the men’s faces, explaining that only a slit was left for their eyes.
Chhuk Hieng has fled the area and taken refuge with family members in Kandal province, family members and police said.
In addition, Khem Seng and other family members living in the village said there were no family disputes that would have led to his murder. Phon Phoun kept his political allegiances a secret—the lesson he learned from heavy intimidation in 1993 as a member of Funcinpec, family members said.
In May, Phon Phoun switched allegiances from Funcinpec to Reastr Niyum, according to police and the deputy district party chief. They called him a “supporter” and not an activist.
Phon Phoun joined a party membership drive two days before his death, signing up 136 Reastr Niyum members, according to a report from the human rights group Adhoc and a new government rights committee.
Nou Pim, district chief of Reastr Niyum, was cited by Adhoc as saying the CPP commune chief had a heated argument with party members and Phon Phoun over the membership drive.

A company is only as good as the people they employ, so if you want to ensure the success of your business, you need to have quality employees. You will also need to offer them training for their roles that can help you streamline your operation and enhance the service you provide to your customers. Many people are reluctant to provide training as they consider it an expense when they should be considering it as an investment in their company. Provide employees with the skills they need to do their jobs, making them more productive and happier in their roles. Below are some of the various courses you can consider for your employees, which are worth investing in for your business’s benefit.
Many companies offer communication skills workshops that can significantly benefit your employees and business.

Code Violations, Electrical Troubleshooting And Panel Upgrade
You are at risk if your electrical system has been tampered with by someone who does not have experience as you have violated the electrical codes. These are some of the code violations that occur and you should a reputable electrician to inspect your home to ensure that your home is not in danger.
Wiring How To Wire Knobs And Tubes
Tubes and knobs wiring was in the past classified as an electrical technology that was very modernized. Today, this tubes and knobs wiring is said to be risky as the wires are not on the ground, the need amperage is not supported by the circuit and the insulation on the wires disintegration. Insurance companies are even unable to insure these buildings.
Installing New Lights Using Old Wiring
The electrical violation here is when you install new lights which can have a negative effect on the wiring due to their age and also because they are on a higher temperature. There is a big variance between today’s and the olden days wires in that the old ones could take only 60 degrees C but those for today take as high as 90 degrees C.
The help that you can get here is to install a splice box that is if the wiring in your home was done before 1987. You also need new wiring three feet so that the old and new light fixtures can be connected. This way you do not have to rewire the whole circuit. Your upgrade panel has the date when wiring was done in your home that is if you do not have the dates. For wires manufactured before 1987 there will be no dates but those after 1987 the dates are available.
When The Wires Are Overcrowded
Sometimes people tend to force many wires in a small home during rough wiring. If the insulation separates from the wire burning may occur. Burned wires are not easily seen and this exposed the conductors.
This correction for this is to avoid forcing many wires through a wiring hole. There should not be any burning and wires should easily shift.
Lastly, the violation of illegal splices occurs when more than two wires are connected. Illegal splices are dangerous and are only contained in a junction box. The legality of a splice box is during temporary lighting and troubleshooting the circuits.
If you hire an electrician this can be corrected by him mounting a junction box and fixing the wires in the box so that a splice is formed and using wire nuts and a cover plate made on the top of the box.
These corrections are not exhaustive but they are most common today.

In 1852, Chebyshev proved the Bertrand’s postulate:
For any integer , there always exists at least one prime number with .
Every integer can be expressed as a sum of distinct primes.
Consider the set of prime integers where . By Bertrand’s postulate we know that .
Next, we observe that, any integer between 7 and 19 can be written as a sum of distinct first 5 prime integers :
7 = 5+2; 8 = 5+3; 9 = 7+2; 10 = 5+3+2; 11 = 11; 12 = 7+5; 13 = 11+2; 14 = 7+5+2; 15 = 7+5+3; 16 = 11+5; 17 = 7+5+3+2; 18 = 11+7; 19 = 11+5+3
Hence we fix , , and to conclude that .
Let, . Then by the above observation we know that the elements of are the sum of distinct first prime integers.
Moreover, if the elements of can be written as the sum of distinct first prime integers, then the elements of can also be written as the sum of distinct first prime integers since
as a consequence of .
Hence inductively the result follows by considering , which contains all integers greater than , and contains only elements which are distinct sums of primes.
Exercise: Use Bertrand’s postulate to generalize the statement proved earlier: If and are natural numbers , then the sum
cannot be an integer.

Hands-on Gear Review
Compare mountain bike short ratings side-by-side >
Street Price: Varies from $39 - $70 | Compare prices at 5 resellers
Pros: Casual styling, Fully removable liner short
Cons: Lack of zippered pockets, Silicone leg grippers
Best Uses: general mountain biking, casual wear
The Fox brand is well known to all mountain bikers the world over. Fox Racing is best known for their suspension products while Fox Head produces apparel and protective gear, from helmets to gloves. These two companies separated long ago, but both went on to be very successful in their respective fields.
The Ranger short is a widely available mountain bike specific short that is very well disguised as a casual short. It is made from a lightweight, breathable, two-way stretch material and has a fully separating liner short. The Ranger ranked middle of the road in most of our tests, with the exception being in the style department where it excels, especially if you are looking for a short that doesn't look like a bike short. It is inexpensive compared to most of the others we tested. Our major complaint is the lack of zippered pockets and the uncomfortable silicone leg grippers on the liner short.

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
The Fox Ranger is the most casual and least athletic looking short we tested. This short has one of the shortest inseams and is also one of the lightest weight shorts in our review. It has three pockets which do not have zippers, and a fully separating Spandex liner short with a decent chamois.
The Ranger has the most casual styling out of all of the shorts in our review. From afar, this short could easily be mistaken for a pair of Dickies. If you plan on wearing your shorts off the bike, this short should be considered since it looks much less like a bike specific short than any of the other shorts we tested. It comes in solid black or grey with just a few small Fox logos. If you like to keep it incognito, this is your short.
We couldn't find any durability problems with the Ranger. The seams and fabrics held up well to our tests. This is a well made and simple short. Since it lacks in bells and whistles there isn't much to fail.
The Ranger is slightly short on features. Pun intended.
The shorts do have a velcro and elastic waist adjustment mechanism. Keeping with the incognito styling of the short, the velcro tabs are hidden on the inside of the waistband. We actually prefer this placement of the tabs over placing them externally, since it sandwiched the tabs in place and prevented exposed velcro from snagging on our jersey.
The outside of the waist band also has five regular belt loops to provide the option of wearing a belt with the short. This was the only short we tested with this feature and keeps with the theme of wearing the short off the bike as well.
The Ranger lacks in securable pockets. The two hand pockets are mesh lined and quite deep, but they tend to open up a bit when pedaling. We didn't trust a phone or bike tool to them.
There is also a right rear slit wallet pocket that closes with a velcro tab. We don't like having items in this area when riding and think that this pocket is better suited for a wallet when off the bike.
If you need a short with more securable pockets to carry your goods, consider our Top Pick Award winner the Dakine Boundary or our Best Buy Award winner the Zoic Ether.
The Ranger is cut more like a pair of Dickies than a mountain bike specific short. The front of the short did not feel as baggy when pedaling as some of the other shorts, however. We prefer a slightly longer inseam and shorter rise for sitting on a saddle. While there are no specific stretch panels, the entire outer short is constructed from a two-way stretch material which never felt restrictive.
The liner short is constructed from Spandex, which flowed well against the outer material. This Spandex provided a small amount of compression and kept the thin, but well constructed Pro Form chamois in place. Unfortunately, the legs of the inner short are finished with the widest silicone leg gripper of all the shorts in our test. These grippers pull at the skin while riding and became more and more irritating to us the longer we pedaled. We wish that Fox used a doubled over material or some other way to secure the legs like those found on high end road cycling shorts.
The Ranger's inseam is just 10 inches, which provides slightly less coverage than we prefer. While the leg openings are big enough to fit over knee pads, the short length is likely to allow a bit of leg showing between the top of the kneepad and the bottom of the short. (In case you don't know, this is a major fashion faux pas.) If you usually wear pads or come off the bike frequently, consider our Editor's Choice winner the Troy Lee Ruckus, which is made from a burlier material and has ample length to be worn with knee pads.
Though the Ranger does not have a particularly ergonomic cut, the loose fit of the legs and the stretch fabric allow it to pedal well. The two-way stretch material never feels restrictive.The smooth Spandex liner flows well against the textured outer short material with no hang ups. The silicone leg grippers that serve to hold the legs of the liner short in place are irritating to the skin. We aren't a fan of silicone leg grippers because they tend to pull on the skin and these are some of the worst we have tried.
This is the best short if you prefer casual styling or plan on wearing riding gear off the bike. We recommend leaving the liner short at home before heading to the bar. In the bike park, we don't ride with a hydration pack or with a jersey with pockets, but we do like to carry a small multi-tool and a cell phone. The Ranger lacks completely in securable pockets, and we found ourselves electing to test other types of shorts when we road in the park so we could safely carry these two small items. However, this short works well for pedal missions where you will also be carrying a hydration pack of some sort.
The Ranger is the second least expensive short we tested. They retail for only $9.95 more than the least expensive short in the review, the Canari Cyclewear Canyon II, but you get a much more stylish short with a fully separating liner with the Ranger. If you are on a budget, we highly recommend you go with the Ranger over the Canyon Gel. The Ranger is more versatile, more comfortable, and more stylish.
The Fox Ranger is the best short to buy if you want a short that can be easily worn on or off the bike. It has a very casual appearance, which will blend in as a typical street short. This short pedals well and has a good liner with a great chamois. Our biggest complaint with the Ranger is that it lacks in zippered pockets, which prevented us from carrying anything in the pockets while riding for fear of losing it. If you always ride with a hydration pack or a jersey with pockets this might not be a problem for you.
Fox also makes the Fox Ranger Cargo - 12 inch in 12 inch and Fox Ranger Cargo - 10 inch which is the Ranger with two added cargo pockets. This version loses the rear wallet pocket but gains two more usable pockets, one of which secures with a zipper. The Cargo version is also available in either 10" or 12" inseam lengths and retails for $10 more than the regular Ranger.
Fox also makes the Fox Ranger Jersey, $45.

Judge Andrew Napolitano has written a book, Theodore and Woodrow. It is on the first decades of the 20th century, when the Progressive movement captured American politics. Except for the 1920’s — Harding and Coolidge — Progressivism has never surrendered political control in the United States.
I spoke with him on July 22, at Mises University, the annual week-long training program for undergraduates, which is sponsored by the Ludwig von Mises Institute. He was presenting a week-long series of lectures on the Constitution and the free market. The students get very good training on how the United States Constitution has been reinterpreted over the years, especially during the Progressive era.
I gave him some background that almost nobody knows. The essence of the battle for constitutional interpretation in the 20th century is found in the names “Woodrow” and “Wilson.”
THOMAS WOODROW WILSON
Woodrow Wilson’s full name was Thomas Woodrow Wilson, but he never went by Thomas. He always went by Woodrow. Woodrow is a strange name for a little boy to have. It is certainly a strange first name. As a middle name, it was okay, because it was his mother’s maiden name. So is my middle name. But I do not call myself by this middle name.
Woodrow Wilson’s father was Joseph Ruggles Wilson. He was the senior permanent bureaucrat in the southern Presbyterian Church in the late 19th century. He maintained the position of Stated Clerk for a third of a century. He was part of what was known as Old School Presbyterianism. This was the most conservative theological faction in 19th-century America — the true hard-liners. They were committed to a long document, the Westminster Confession of Faith (1648), plus two other documents, the Shorter Catechism in the Larger Catechism. These are the most detailed creedal documents in American history.
The position of the Old School was this: in order to become an elder in the Presbyterian Church, you had to swear your allegiance to these three long, highly detailed documents. A candidate for eldership was allowed certain reservations or exceptions, but these had to be approved by the presbytery, the regional bureaucratic structure. This applied to teaching elders (ministers/preachers) and ruling elders (laymen who had votes in the local congregation and the presbytery). In terms of Constitutional language, these were “original intent” interpreters of the foundational documents, i.e., the strict constructionists.

Content Marketing Is Generous Marketing
In simplest terms content marketing is about sharing worthwhile information—just giving it away free. Why would a business invest in the creation and promotion of free stuff? Because it helps to achieve two fundamental business objectives:
- Keep customer relationships (and referral sources) warm and engaged
- Attract new customers who are looking for you online but perhaps don’t know it yet
A well-built content marketing program plays to the people that already know and like your brand. At the same time, it aims to gain trust and develop relationships with people that could know and like you
It’s the New Word of Mouth
What do people do when they are looking for a service or product? They ask around, do research, share information, and get the opinions of those they trust. So it makes sense to give away valuable information because that helps you earn trust and build a following of loyal customers. Position your brand as the authority. Allow people the time they need to trust you. So when they are ready to buy, they choose your business over the competition.
Blogging, Email & Social Shares
This is how it works at SightLines: our content strategies use an integrated mix of blogging, social media sharing and permission-based email. The program is based on an optimized website. If you aren’t sure what that means, skip over here to read about the SEO implications of website content and page optimization. Then come back.
Websites Don’t Work Without You
Websites need tending to keep them fresh. By regularly refreshing your site with relevant, helpful content you are building credibility and authority for your business.
Content is composed of all your written communications online and off. That would include the many digital channels that have exploded in recent years: videos, podcasts, slide decks, infographics, ebooks, blogs, email, social media shares.
Business blogging and social media sharing broadcast your message beyond the space of your website, so potential customers can find you in search. Together with your search optimized website and content strategy, these basic content marketing tools allow you to reach out to bring new business in. They are the foundation of your content marketing program
Keyword Strategy & Content Development
Anchored by a strong Content Strategy, your integrated blogging, email and social media initiatives provide your outreach. Together they attract searchers and drive traffic to specific pages on the website.
Every time you publish a blog post, it adds a searchable page to your website. This is very good for SEO—and very, very good for your business because the search engines come to regard your site as dynamic, valuable and authoritative. That keeps your name and your information high on the list in search results where your prospective customers can easily find it.
Reuse, Recycle, Reinvest!
Everything written can be repurposed and used in multiple channels. Get this. Once you’ve built up a collection of Blog Posts they become….
- A source for Ebooks
- Subject matter of quarterly emails to clients & associates
- Topic for a Video or Slide Share deck
You are packaging and repackaging relevant content in the format your customers prefer. Then you promote it through the online channels where they hang out. Is that a smart and efficient use of marketing time and money, or what?

I was over at Blogosphere News today and see that we’re getting yet another upgrade to WordPress–version 2.6, which is due out in August. The changes are interesting, but not sure how awesome. They’re integrating with Google Gears and making it harder to lose posts if your browser crashes and such. I mean, those things are interesting, but… it may be a developer dream. Since I’m not one of those, I’ll withhold judgment until I see the results.
You can check out the post at BlogHerald.com
I also watched a video today that was pretty interesting from Michael Gray of GrayWolf’s SEO Blog
He says that it’s best to make your blog super simple for the GoogleBot. Well, we knew that, but here’s something I never thought of. (And Duh… shame on me.) Michael says that when you’re choosing a category for your post, it’s best to keep it in ONE category, not two or three or the “very bright for a 5-year-old” GoogleBot may think that you have dupe content on your blog.
We all know that’s bad.
I’m going back and changing the posts that I just had to add categories to for my readers’ sake.
But, then, who needs readers? 🙂
I mean, I want to be a good SEO person and do all the right SEO stuff and make the Google ghods love me, but hey…
The audience is really what matters, eh?
From here on, I may try to keep my categories singular.

Yearly Archive: 2016
I love growing plants from seed. The pure joy of seeing a healthy green seedling pushing through after you have sown a tiny black dead looking seed is well worth the effort. It is time consuming and fiddly but I’m not very good at sewing, knitting or crochet like most ladies but I do seem to have some success with plants. I have been having a go with vegetable and flower seeds over the years but one plant that I have never grown from seed is Clematis. This Autumn I put in a few cuttings and am looking forward to seeing the results of those but I am determined to try and raise some from seed next spring.
I have read a little but prefer to learn by trial and error. The few tips I have gathered are as follows. Clematis seeds throw down deep roots so need to be sown in gritty, sandy compost in a deep container or pot. Germination can take from six weeks to three years. Ah well we will see. Heat isn’t needed and sown seed can be left in a cold greenhouse or outside. Moisture should be maintained by covering the pot with grit and enclosing in a polythene bag. I dread to think how many seed heads I have thrown into the compost over the years, however this last year I did save a few and put them into seed modules In sandy compost. I don’t hold out much hope for those but next year I will be more prepared.
Another editor’s pick on BBC Weatherwatchers for Glenn.
Another bargain from Lidl. This plant makes me smile. An amazing achievement as my heart is sad and heavy. I am trying to count my blessings but I am missing Adam so much. I need to focus on his children as we are getting nearer to Christmas and it will be so difficult for them.
I have always found something to love about all of the seasons but today I found myself wishing away the Winter. SInce Adam died I have been keeping myself sane by trying to bring the garden back after years of neglect. It’s had to be step by step and there have been a few steps forward and quite a few back but I have persevered. I have grown things from seed and bought bulbs and roses and new containers. This week we have had torrential rain yet again and the pots have become waterlogged. The possibility of lowering temperatures means that a lot of my precious plants are at risk. Therefore my desire for the speedy arrival of Spring. To know that the bulbs are sitting in the wet and the roses,that have shown such good growth since planting, are at risk is very daunting.
After the garden flooded as a result of heavy rainfall in June when I lost a lot of seedlings and young plants we then had a burst water main under the garden. The garden then became an excavation site and we were surrounded by water outside but had no water supply inside. Last week we had a burst water tank in the airing cupboard and then more torrential rain outside.
Update Wednesday 23rd November …..plumber here putting in a new cold water tank…rain stopped….feeling more positive….maybe it’s not the winter I’m wishing away……just the excess water. On a positive note the old water tank will make a great carrot bin down the allotment…. After all it already has good drainage holes.
Great Tit and Sycamore seeds. These seeds are Poisonous to us but food for the birds. Luckily for the wild life this seems to be a good year for berries, nuts and seeds.
Quite unlike any other variety, Viola Sororia Freckles bears violet, speckled flowers from spring through to summer. The blooms are carried above neat clumps of heart shaped foliage. This Violet will self-seed freely. Perfect for growing in containers or rockeries.
These tough little plants will seed themselves anywhere. They’re strong like Adam was strong and they will be growing all over the garden along with lots of other Violas next year and every year in memory of my brave boy.

Finland's future worries Soviets
Stockholm — The latest indisposition of Finnish President Urho Kekkonen is said to be worrying Soviet leaders, afraid their small Nordic neighbor might swing to the right should Kekkonen depart the political scene.
It seems highly unlikely that the 81-year-old Kekkonen will be able to continue running the country. Thus elections may have to be moved forward, since they are next scheduled in 1984.
Prime Minister Mauno Koivisto, who has taken over as president during Kekkonen's illness, has thus staked a major claim as his permanent successor.
It is believed that the Kremlin would welcome Koivisto, a Social Democrat, who would likely continue Kekkonen's policy of conciliation with its awesome eastern neighbor. This is bound to be a major consideration for Finns.
Kekkonen has held power for 25 years, ruthlessly disposing of his political opponents.
Born the son of a small farmer in Kajanaland in northeastern Finland, Kekkonen rose rapidly through the ranks of what was then the Farmer's Party (since retitled the Center Party).
He held a ministerial post in a coalition government in 1937 and was prime minister of four different coalition governments from 1950 to 1953, returning to head his fifth government in 1954.
Two years later he was elected to the presidency, inheriting from his predecessor J. K. Paasikivi a policy of neutrality that bows deeply toward "the bear next door," Finland's awesome neighbor, The Soviet Union --what Paasikivi called "thinking geographically."
Today Soviet dissidents caught fleeing to the West via Finland are sent back. Finnish trade is heavily dependent on exports to the Soviet Union. Finland has become dependent on Soviet oil and gas. And films considered anti-Soviet are banned.

Every summer, I look forward to heirloom tomatoes, peaches, plums, and one other very special item:
Wild local King salmon.
Like fruits and vegetables, seafood also has a season. For California wild salmon, it’s summer. And it ends all too soon for my liking.
Indeed, get your fill now because the season will soon come to a close toward the end of September.
There’s nothing like eating salmon in summer with its bright reddish orange flesh that tastes downright luxurious. To be sure, it’s not an inexpensive ingredient at $25 or more per pound. But it tastes far more expensive than that with its unbelievably lush texture and resonating flavor that just fills your mouth like a dream.
I like to enjoy it simply. Sashimi-style, when you can really taste the fat and freshness. Or grilled, with a kiss of smoke to heighten its robust richness.
Stir together dark brown sugar, mustard, soy sauce and rice vinegar to brush on top of salmon steaks or fillets before grilling, pan-frying or oven-roasting. The flavor is akin to teriyaki with the pep of mustard in it. It’s sweet, tangy, slightly piquant, and quite complimentary to the salmon without over-powering it at all.
After all, with fish this superb, you never want to do too much.
CONTEST: Anaheim’s Anderson Seafoods offered me a sample of its California Wild King Salmon, which I used in this recipe. Shipped overnight, it arrived in perfect condition in a styrofoam ice chest, and ready to throw on the grill. One lucky Food Gal reader will get a chance to try the salmon or any other seafood of your choice with a $250 gift card from Anderson Seafoods.
Entries, open only to those in the continental United States, will be accepted through midnight PST Aug. 23. The winner will be announced Aug. 25.
How to win?
You’ve already heard me talk about my favorite seasonal ingredient — salmon. Tell me what seasonal item you most look forward to each year — and why. Best answer wins the prize.
Glazed Grilled Salmon
(Makes 2 servings)
3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons prepared Chinese-style hot mustard or Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 (7- to 8-ounce) salmon steaks or fillets
Prepare a grill on medium-high heat. Combine brown sugar, mustard and soy sauce in a medium bowl; whisk to blend. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the glaze to a small bowl; mix in rice vinegar and set aside. Brush 1 side of salmon steaks generously with half of the glaze in medium bowl. Place salmon steaks, glazed side down, onto barbecue. Grill until glaze is slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Brush top side of salmon steaks with remaining glaze in medium bowl. Turn salmon over and grill until second side is slightly charred and salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer salmon to plates. Drizzle reserved glaze in a small bowl over salmon and serve.

UPDATE: Suspect arraigned -- sex offender arrested earlier this month for allegedly loitering near Sexton High School
LANSING -- Police here say they busted a man responsible for recently spray-painting swastikas on several Old Town buildings red-handed.
Lansing police Capt. Daryl Green said undercover detectives observed the 58-year-old Lansing man spray-painting a marquee sign at the Old Town Temple Club, 502 E. Grand River Ave., about 4:30 a.m. Saturday. He was arrested without incident.
It was the latest in a string of six such swastikas spray-painted in Old Town since May 15, according to Green. Police believe the suspect apprehended early Saturday is behind all of them, including one late Wednesday or early Thursday at the Temple Club.
Alan Hooper, co-owner of the Temple Club and Zoobie's Old Town Tavern, credited Lansing police for swiftly dealing with the perpetrator who allegedly vandalized his property and others in the area.
"We're really appreciative of the Lansing Police Department for putting a stop to it," said Hooper, who also founded Triterra, an Old Town-based environmental consulting and Brownfield development firm.
"It's kind of a nuisance thing, and the police department did an excellent job of identifying him and catching him. It causes a lot of damage when someone starts putting paint on your building."
Green said his department would not have been able to deftly deal with the incidents if not for the participation and help from Old Town businesses.
"The LPD applauds several business leaders of Old Town that assisted with this
investigation and refused to stand by idly while an accused marred the neighborhood with vile, offensive and hateful graffiti," he said.
The suspect is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday. Green said Lansing police are seeking to charge the man for hate crimes.

So what I'm saying is, subtlety isn't the movie's strong suit. But it's more than that; the sequence drags out about twice as long as it should, as the camera lovingly caresses every dirty detail of the repulsive scene. As a director, Barber can't get his shit together--he can't decide if he's making a gritty social document or an escapist vigilante shoot-em'-up/modern-day Western. In trying to have it both ways, he accomplishes neither; the picture is too shallow to be thought-provoking, but too unseemly to work as an entertainment.
It starts off well enough, with a harrowing opening sequence of a horrifying crime and its aftermath (inventively staged as cell phone video). After that little corker, we meet Harry, who lives in a grim, cheerless building and trudges off dutifully every day to visit his dying wife. "I don't think she knows I'm there anymore," he confesses to Leonard (Bradley), who he meets every afternoon in the neighborhood pub for a game of chess (nobody in movies ever plays chess just to play chess, of course, so the game is trotted out as a metaphor later). When his wife finally goes, he leans even more heavily on Leonard, so his friend's death in the hands of local toughs hits him especially hard.
Caine's work in these early scenes is masterful; he's not afraid to play Harry as a fragile old man (there's a tremendous scene where a door closes and he just falls apart), but when Leonard asks, of Harry's Marine days, "Did you every kill anyone?", the darkness in the old man's eyes as he looks up at his friend tells us everything we need to know. But, aside from those isolated moments, we're about halfway through the picture before we realized how underdeveloped the character actually is. The film leans heavily on what we already know and feel about Caine (and particularly the flinty characters he often played in the '60s and '70s) without giving him much of an actual personality to play; first he's sad and feeble, and then he's a badass.
There's a subplot concerning the investigation of Leonard's death by cops Frampton (Emily Mortimer) and Hicock (Charlie Creed-Miles), but in spite of the actors' best efforts, it's a non-starter; the resulting scenes are all "been there, done that" duds, from her development of the wild theory that maybe, just maybe, that old guy could be behind it all to her partner's resigned insistence that "As far as I'm concerned, Harry Brown's doing us a favor." Barber's got some directorial style--the menace is thick, the cinematography is flashy, the shock sound design gets multiple rises out of us--and his set pieces (like the big riot scene at the end) are impressively staged. But frequently, they exist solely as flair, adding little to the big picture.
Harry's Christian name is surely no coincidence; in its broad story beats, Harry Brown is a throwback to the hard-line '70s "one-man crusade" pictures like Dirty Harry and Death Wish (there's even a telltale moment at the end of a slimeball cop/politico referencing the force of the "silent majority"). But Barber is frequently distracted by the film's own odiousness--he's so busy fetishising the lurid details that he loses focus of the narrative (there's a sense of the filmmaker getting off on the pulpy brutality of it all). In a manner reminiscent of Joel Schumacher's 8mm, it only manages to see this grisly world from the outside in, all neon surfaces and grainy flash. But in keeping its distance, it sensationalizes the material less than a film that's truly willing to get inside its lurid, grim world of urban decay (like, say, Taxi Driver), yet somehow leaves you feeling dirtier afterwards. With its self-conscious artsiness and tsk-tsk moralizing, Barber seems to strive for higher ground than the vigilante-picture roots, but when it comes down to the wire, he goes for the cheap thrill every time. Harry Brown delivers, yes, but on a basic, primeval, and frankly ugly level.
"Harry Brown" hits DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, August 31st.

Former Vine, Ultralounge finds new biz owner
The downtown Santa Rosa nightclub space that housed the troubled Seven Ultralounge and The Vine will reopen Friday as Rapture. The Seventh street entertainment venue will feature music, dancing, a full bar Thursday through Sunday.
New club owner Mark Hines and business partner Henry Leon Raney Jr. purchased the business in December from building owner Gerald Buhrz who also owns nearby properties housing the Chrome Lotus and Franco’s Pizzeria.
Hines is a former printing business owner and mobile DJ who said he’d been looking for several years to open a nightclub in the Bay Area and fell in love with the 528 Seventh St. property when he saw it.
He and Raney have invested in a significant upgrade to the sound and light system in the space, but otherwise are making few interior changes initially, with a grand opening on Saturday night.
Hines plans to create an upscale lounge space with VIP areas where customers can pay an additional fee for private seating areas, along with dancing waitresses. DJ Rob Cervantes, a fixture from the Seven Ultralounge days, will coordinate the entertainment, according to Hines. He plans to feature local talent and traveling DJs with a focus on house, electronic and pop music. Hines cited international trance DJ Armin Van Buuren as an inspiration for the type of entertainment vibe he’s setting at the club.
When asked about the club’s notorious past, Hines said that he interviewed more than 150 people to get the right mix of staff, which will include security to patrol the nearby parking structure. In 2006, 32-year-old Matthew Toste was fatally shot in the parking lot across from the club.
“We want to make this the ultimate guest experience,” Hines said. “We are successful business people and this is a business for us, not just a bar,” he added. The club will enforce an upscale dress code and, according to the owner, will not play “certain types of music” (which he later explained as rap music with desultory lyrics about women and police) that led to incidents in the past. “Trust me, nothing will be the same,” said Hines in reference to the former nightclubs.
The Vine closed in August 2010, a little more than a year after opening, although Buhrz said in a previous interview that he never planned for the club to be a longterm business. Seven Ultralounge opened in 2006 as a high-rolling nightclub with $200-plus VIP tables and a luxe urban ambiance but devolved into a troubled scene with strict city supervision after the shooting, leading to the ultimate loss of its liquor license in 2008.
After several years of struggles, the former nightclub space that housed Seven Ultralounge and The Vine has found a new business owner.
According to documents filed with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the space is being taken over by Ryde Hotel Properties LLC to become a new eating establishment called Rapture.
The Press Democrat previously reported that the building at 528 Seventh St. in downtown Santa Rosa is owned by businessman Gerald Buhrz, who also owns the properties housing the Chrome Lotus and Franco’s Pizzeria. In an August 6, 2010 interview, Buhrz said he never planned to operated a nightclub longterm at the location, but keep the business location alive until a buyer came along. The asking price in August was $325,000, down from $550,000 the previous year.
The Vine closed in August 2010, a little more than a year after opening. Prior to that, it was Seven Ultra Lounge, which began as a high-rolling nightclub with $200-plus VIP tables and a luxe urban ambiance. The club devolved into a troubled scene with strict city supervision and never fully recovered from its affiliation with a fatal 2006 shooting in a nearby parking garage and ultimate loss of its liquor license in 2008.
The Ryde Hotel and event center, a popular hotel and wedding venue in Walnut Grove, which some thought may have been behind the purchase, has denied any involvement.

We’ve experienced some amazingly low interest rates over the past couple of years. This is particularly interesting given the economic climate and huge government deficits. One of the main reason for our low interest rates has been strong foreign purchasing of U.S. debt, especially China. This trend may now be changing with potentially massive ramifications on the financial markets.
The Washington Post reported this week that:
New data, including Treasury Department figures released Monday, has stoked
debate over whether overseas investors — private individuals, institutions and
government banks — are growing dangerously bearish on the U.S.
I recommend reading this informative article. I’ll be closely watching interest rates over the next few months. This is not the time to go out and purchase long term U.S. government bonds, and I would also think long and hard before taking on any adjustable rate loans.
It looks like Warren Buffett has been preparing himself for this trend by getting out of long term bonds, holding lot’s of cash and purchasing foreign currencies. His portfolio adjustments might start to pay off soon.

The Kingdoms in Nature are:
Bacteria (sometimes split into two Kingdoms)
Protista (means the very first)—includes unicellular (one-celled) and multicellular organisms, including algae, that are not part of the Fungi, Plant or Animal Kingdoms)
Animal (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, including human)
Nature is designed such that each Kingdom is dependent on the ones below it. For example, ruminant animals (cows, sheep, goats, deer) would not be able to survive without the bacteria in their rumen that digest plant foods for them. They are actually eating fermented plant foods and bacteria. Algae are organisms in the Protista Kingdom at the bottom of the food chain. All beings (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, including human) are dependent on plants, fungi, algae and bacteria for survival. Algae are literally a film that coats the Earth, in every natural body of water and in the soil. Since algae are everywhere in nature, all fungi, plants, animals and humans are designed to obtain certain nutrients from algae (which contain over 5,000 individual nutrients). When algae are lacking in our diet (as in the sanitized modern diet), our health may suffer from the missing nutrients. Algae are Nature’s most complete and original whole food for all species and serves as a universal food for the plant and animal (including human) Kingdoms. Algae are nature’s vitamin chest. There are some algae nutrients that are particularly beneficial that are hard to find from any other source. For example, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is usually only found in early mother’s milk. GLA stimulates the newborn’s immune system. So, how do adult animals get GLA if it needs to stimulate its immune system? GLA is present in seeds of borage, black currant, and evening primrose but how many eat those foods on a regular basis? The next largest whole food source (not supplements) of GLA to mother’s milk is algae. There is no other food that can nourish plants, herbivores, carnivores and omnivores like algae. Algae occupy a unique role in the food chain for all plants, animals and humans. No other food (and certainly supplement) can make this claim. Algae are not just “pond scum.” Algae are Nutrient Factory Algae are miniature factories producing over 4,000 enzymes, vitamins, essential fatty acids, minerals, amino acids and protein. Algae can help our body to: Accelerate healing Improve digestion Detoxify our body Produce moist healthy skin Relieve arthritis, gain flexibility Balance hormonal disorders Stimulate our immune system Enhance growth and tissue repair Help prevent degenerative diseases Reduce illness and doctor bills Achieve optimum health and longer life Critical Need for Enzymes Live enzymes are needed to break down food and help with the absorption of nutrients. Not only are digestive enzymes essential but many metabolic enzymes are needed for other vital body functions such as producing energy, reducing inflammation and speeding healing. This is important because all cooked food is lacking enzymes since heat kills live enzymes. Eating cooked and processed food every day will eventually deplete your body of live enzymes. Without enzymes one ages faster and is prone to the degenerative diseases such as arthritis, fibroyalgia, auto-immune disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome and cancer. A perfect whole food product with live enzymes is algae (for example, Spirulina, blue-green algae). Ancient cultures instinctually harvested algae to give to the sick, elderly and pregnant women. Our modern day diet of cooked and processed foods and tap water does not contain algae and therefore we are usually deficient in enzymes, essential fatty acids, vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids. Taking algae naturally provides us with all the nutrients in the natural form and exact dosage that Nature intended. If we do not get enzymes in our live foods, we must rely on our storehouse of enzymes produced in their pancreas. Eating cooked food (without enzymes) for 10 years is like making a withdrawal from your savings account every day for ten years and never making a deposit. Eventually the savings account gets depleted. When an our savings account of enzymes is depleted, aging accelerates and degenerative diseases start.

After an 8.8-magnitude earthquake threw Japan off kilter Friday, prompting a watery surge that has engulfed the country’s northeast, tsunami warnings have been issued in abundance. What are countries in the waves’ path doing to prepare?
Philippines: Authorities at the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology estimate that the first tsunami waves will reach the Philippines between 5pm and 7pm local time. Its director, Renato Solidum, has advised residents of coastal areas to evacuate and move to higher ground. The Philippine Coast Guard has alerted its operatives and—according to its chief, Wilfredo Tamayo—has put rescue teams across the Philippines on standby. Vessels have been asked not to sail. ABS-CBN News reports that police officers are making the rounds to schools in Batanes, the country’s northernmost province, to aid children and teachers.
(More on TIME.com: See pictures of the calamity of Japan’s quake)
Guam: Waves could hit this Pacific island as early as 7:09pm according to a press release from its Department of Homeland Security and Civil Defense. Residents and tourists have been advised to evacuate low-laying, coastal zones and proceed to areas at least 50ft. above sea level and 100 ft. inland. The governor’s office reports that all public beaches have been closed. Homeland Security has asked that all hotels and apartment buildings in the city of Tumon, the center of Guam’s tourism industry, clear their bottom five floors of guests/tenants.
Taiwan: The country’s Central Weather Bureau has warned that the waves will reach Hualien and Taitung on the island’s east coast at 09:32 GMT and 09:36 GMT, respectively, and the northeastern port of Keelung at 10:04 GMT. Though it is projected that the wave will be 50 centimeters (about 20 inches) high and have minimal impact on the coast, residents are being urged to take precautions. Schools and offices are closed in Keelung city, Taitung county, Hualien county, Yilan county and some coastal districts in New Taipei city.

I wanted to add new search engines to Opera. There are a few search engines I use besides Google (as a LIS student I know should not admit to using Google, but it’s sort of like trying to avoid speaking English in an English speaking world). Deeperweb and Harvester42 are two search engines I can recommend – they are especially good if members of the library must use Google for everything, then let it at least be using something that enriches the search.
I thought adding search engines would be difficult, and I would have to find some sort of convoluted way of finding the search address to stick in the Opera search preferences. I spent a while trying to do this, until I hit on the smart idea of clicking the ‘Help’ button… The answer was just a click away all the time! The Help page Searching in Opera, gives fairly straight forward advice on how to add search engines. Basically, just go to a search engine you want, right click in the search bar, and follow the instructions. I found that it will include all the search engines I tried, even Custom Search Engines like the Australian Library Associations and Journals Search, and Meta search engines like Dogpile.
I don’t know how many search engines you can add, but I am going to try and find out!

The Last Time We Met the Gold Coast Titans was the match that would decide whether or not we would receive home advantage in the 2017 NRL Finals Series.
While the Roosters were hot starters after scoring the first through Latrell Mitchell, things slowly turned towards the Titans as the underdogs of the match had something to prove in their final battle of the season.
They went on to score three unanswered tries with the third coming in the final quarter of play, leaving the Roosters to scramble together if they were any chance of coming away with a victory.
Right on queue it was some Joseph Manu magic that set up Michael Gordon for a try in the corner, followed by a heroic effort from Captain Boyd Cordner that put his team over the line.
This victory saw the Roosters gain second place on the ladder and a home final in the 2017 NRL Finals Series.

Crystal clear turquoise lagoon, fine sandy beaches are just few of the natural elements to make the Dusit Thani Maldives a little corner of paradise. Located on Mudhdhoo Island, the resort features 100 villas and residence combining luxury living with modern sophistication.
From wherever the guests are, the views are simply spectacular, as there is nothing here that it isn’t worth seeing it. Besides the restaurant selection or the spa, the retreat spots, hanging near the poolside are numerous and very pleasant. In the horizon, the sea waters blend with the pool waters, so it is almost impossible to distinguish one from another.
Interiors keep the exotic and traditional features and, in the end, it all resumes to the outdoor spaces, as the open plans make a beautiful transition between the two areas. We can all conclude that Dusit Rhani Maldives has everything it takes to offer an serve even its most pretentious guests.

Opened to a full house, last year, at the Design Exchange in downtown Toronto, Considering the Quake: Seismic Design on the Edge, explores the elegant, and oftentimes, elusive intersection between the aesthetics of architectural form and the technicality of structural design, through the lens of earthquake engineering. Curated by Professor Ghyslaine McClure, P.Eng and founded/curated by Dr. Effie Bouras, of the McGill University Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, this exhibit emerged from their research on the resiliency of emergency shelters and civil protection buildings, such as schools and hospitals, in earthquake zones throughout the world.
Envisioned as a “science center” for design, the exhibition, which is tailored not only for the architecture and engineering communities, but an invested public as well, will feature full-sized seismic technology utilized in buildings, architectural and structural models, seismic testing videos, including clips from Tomas Koolhaas’ new documentary titled REM, and a 500N shake table from North American Wave Spectrum Science and Trade Inc.
The relationship between Architecture and Power has been the main character in the urban transformation with no space-time boundaries. Architecture has historically demonstrated its Power in creating different urban landscapes capable of influencing spaces that are lived.
Power shows and has shown how Architecture is one of the most efficient tools to express ones vision about the world. STUDIO#06 – POWER wants to investigate how to examine this continuous and difficult relationship within society and in contemporary experiences. The constant relation between the communicative energy of architecture and human ambitions has determined a sometimes symbiotic practice of small and big architecture interventions. At the same time architecture’s formal power defines our perception of spaces, in each little transformation, in an ever-changing manner.
Which were and are in the historical and political scenario the dynamics, examples and the relations between Power and Architecture? In which way nowadays the pair Power-Architecture consciously or unconsciously transforms our cities and the spaces we inhabit?
Structurally organized in different ways of contribution – essays, insights, experiences, images – the issue is meant to be investigated by a multi-disciplinary global perspective in order to define its complexity. The call for papers defines the field of interest of an issue and produces a context in which situate contributions.

Architects have been invited to submit expressions of interest in designing The Crystal Palace as a new cultural destination for London in the spirit, scale and magnificence of the original. Plans to invest £500 million in rebuilding The Crystal Palace and restoring the surrounding public park were announced in October by ZhongRong Group, with the support of the Mayor of London and the Bromley Council.
The new culture-led exhibition and employment space will sit at the top of the 180-acre Crystal Palace Park in south London. It will incorporate the listed Italian style terraces, and other Victorian heritage within the park, fully restored for the public. The project is expected to create more than 2000 permanent and temporary jobs as well as attracting wider investment into the local high streets and the wider economy.

Formlessfinder, the New York-based architects, designers and outside-the-box thinkers won this year’s commission to build the entrance to Design Miami/. Tent Pile is a balancing act of aluminium and sand, the latter is often seen as an obstacle to overcome in architecture rather than the solution. But that’s the way these guys roll.
This competition is a call for methods and forms that inspire hope and dreams through new technology, creative logic, and aesthetic intuition. Its purpose is to encourage the development of new design methods for better architecture and better cities (and, broadly, better design in general), and to recognize groups and individuals who have taken up this challenge.

This could be in response to a natural disaster, or to inoculate and educate in areas with specific medical emergencies or outbreaks, it will also help aid agencies that don’t have the funds or means to purchase land, offering short term leasing opportunities.
The setting is South East Asia where each year, 8 million people die from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that are largely preventable and often manageable. Unlike their developed-country counterparts, 30% of these people are aged less than 60. According to WHO this figure will increase by 21% over the next decade. The impact of infectious diseases in Southeast Asia is staggering. Malaria, for example, infected as many as 41 million people in the region in 2009. Demand for healthcare services in Southeast Asia is rising rapidly especially for those in rural communities where poverty makes people more vulnerable. Prevention, early detection and timely treatment through decentralized healthcare will lower death rates and improve lives.

The Grand Opening of the Santiago Calatrava: The Metamorphosis of Space exhibition took place on Wednesday, December 4th in the monumental spaces of the Braccio di Carlo Magno. The exhibition will be open until February 20, 2014.
The exhibition, sponsored by the Vatican Museums and the Pontifical Council for Culture, and curated by Micol Forti (Curator of the Collection of Contemporary Art of the Vatican Museums), presents a collection of approximately 140 works of art to the public, showing the complex and multiform artistic productions of the famous Spanish architect and engineer.
The selected core of architectural models is accompanied by the corresponding preparatory studies, but also by watercolor paintings, which were generated by a creative inspiration completely independent from the genesis of the same projects. In addition, there is a rich anthology of sculptures, both monumental and in a more reduced size, made out of bronze, marble, alabaster, and wood.
The combination of works pertaining to different artistic codes, although closely related, directs the observer’s gaze to different levels of interpretation of the architectural volumes, and of the vision of space and shapes, typical characteristics of Calatrava’s artistic path. More after the break.

The Florida Panthers hold a comfortable four-point lead over Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division entering play on Tuesday. Each team has just three games left in their schedules, so it is starting to look like Florida will win the division after what has been a lengthy battle against one another. The Lightning and the Montreal Canadiens were the pre-season favorites, so if the Panthers can wrap things up, it will represent a significant upset for the divisional title.
Florida first entered the radar as a potential divisional champion around Christmas time. It was between December 15th and January 10th that the Panthers went undefeated, posting a 12-0 record over that time frame. There has been some rough patches since then but now, in order to clinch, Florida need just three points in their next three games. With a schedule that goes through three non-playoff teams in Montreal, Ottawa, and Carolina, the Panthers should be able to get those points.
However, making things easier is the fact that the Panthers would also clinch if the Lightning failed to get at least four points in their remaining three games. Should the two teams go to tiebreakers, it’s the Lightning that would get the nod thanks to more non-shoot-out victories.
There are scenarios where Florida clinch the division as early as Tuesday night. Both Florida and Tampa Bay are on the road with TB having the more difficult game as they face the Rangers. If Florida gain a point in the standings relative to Tampa Bay, then the Panthers would be impossible to catch. That would send both teams pretty much into coast mode although the Lightning do have to worry about getting caught by the Detroit Red Wings still for the second seed in the Atlantic.
Looking ahead to the playoffs, it has to be stated that the Panthers will have a cushy draw should they clinch the Atlantic. The beasts of the east at this point look like the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins. But in the largely division-based playoffs, those two teams are in one another’s way to make the conference finals. Accordingly, Florida would avoid both of those teams until that point in the Stanley Cup draw. With home-ice advantage against maybe the New York Islanders and then home-ice against maybe Tampa Bay or the Detroit Red Wings, the Panthers definitely have to like the situation that they are in.
The Stanley Cup playoffs will begin in roughly one week’s time. Florida can improve their outlook by clinching top spot in the Atlantic early so that Gerard Gallant can start looking at curbing the minutes of his starters.

"Avoid turning left, when you should turn right. Not only do you lose the time spent going the wrong direction, but you must drive that wrong section of road twice, in order to get back to square one. So that you can turn right and continue making progress."I had mentioned in Purple Curve Effect (and/or perhaps TV program interviews promoting it) that while doing TQM (actually, the "Americanized version of TQM — which is a poor substitute compared to what Deming actually meant — but I digress...") in the Department of Transportation for the State of Ohio, we empowered all these teams to "go fix things," that unless you were the one (and only) team working on the true core constraint (the weakest link), all your effort was wasted. Guess what? It is even worse!
Not only was your effort wasted, but now those finite resources you sucked out of the organization are no longer available to apply to the real bottleneck.Did that register? Please reread that last paragraph. I can wait... Get it? Hence, my "Avoid the Left Turn" metaphor. Or mnemonic. Need help putting the wheels back on your business? Give me a shout. I offer a "Results Based" fee structure that will have you jumping up and down in the car as you try to write me a five or six figure check. Jeff 'SKI' Kinsey Desk: 843.564.4.SKI P.S. Need a Made to Stick kind of reference? Okay, I was traveling and missed the turn. I was on a tight budget, heading home after a great (and expensive vacation), when I discovered that I had went about 60 miles west, when I should have been going north. Yes, it was dark. Still no excuse. However, many of you know the challenge near Wytheville, VA where I-77 splits from I-81. So, I get to retrace my path to catch I-77 North. So 120+ miles at say two bucks a gallon and 25MPG average equals $10 wasted that I did not have to spare. Ever look under the seat for spare change to pay the toll in West Virgina? I have.

2012 NYPD Under-19 Cricket
The New York Police Department (NYPD) Under-19 Cricket League sponsored by Police Commissioner Mr. Raymond Kelly got under way last Tuesday at Gateway Park. The commissioner was on hand to open this year competition in which twelve teams from around New York City will vie for the Police Commissioner Trophy.
The Meten Meer Zorg (MMZ) Superstars has so far participated in all five of the tournament, they went to the final three years in a row and won the competition in 2010 under USA player Azurdeen Mohammed and NYR player Kavishwar Bridgepaul. The Superstars is coach by former Guyana Under-19 wicket keeper Ajaz Asgarally and is captain by USA under-19 player Amarnauth Persaud with former USA under-15 player Trevis Ross as his deputy.
The Superstars won the toss against the Night Owls and elected to bat first on a very hot summer day at Kissena Park and found themselves in early trouble losing Trevis Ross after hitting the pacer for a six trying to repeat the shot only to hold out to long off. Clifford Hamilton playing in his second year for the Superstars anchored the innings as wickets was falling like ripe mangoes.
Skipper Amarnauth Persaud went for 10, new player Brandon Boodoo for 6, Danraj Hansraj for 4 and Imdad Khan for a golden duck, score was 41 for 5 off 8 overs at that stage, as it was another newcomer in the Superstars team Dino Choo-Wee-Nam who came to the rescue of his team, he batted well with Hamilton before Hamilton was out bowled for a well played 22. In walked the talented Rayhanul Islam to the crease and the pair put on a century partnership with both youngsters hitting the ball to all parts of the field. Dino made 45 with 4×6 and 2×4 and Islam 44 with 4×6 and 2×4 to see the Superstars reached 161 off their 20 overs.
Syed Hussain a former Superstars player was the pick of the Night Owls bowler with 4 for 25 off his 4 overs.
The Owls begin their reply with Hasif and Khan opening, it was the young Anwer Kamal and Rahannul Islam who opened up the attack for the Superstars, Khan was first to go, bowled by Anwer for 3, then in came Syed Hussain playing against his old mates didn’t spare his friends hitting 3 towering sixes before he was out trying a fourth and was brilliantly caught by Danraj. It was all over for the Owls as wickets fell at regular interval.
New boy from the Bronx, Anwer Hussain playing his first season bowled with good pace and control finish with 2 for 25 off his 4 overs, Wazim Shaw and Dino cleaned up the rest of the Night Owl batsmen, with figures of 4-13-1 and 4-14-2 respectively.
The Superstars takes on Krypton Knights at Kissena on Thursday July 5th for a 12 noon start then on Monday July 9th at Baisley Park (150 and Rockaway ) to play against Brooklyn Knights in round 3 schedule at 12 noon.
MMZ Superstars full Squad is: Amarnauth Persaud (capt), Trevis Ross (v/capt), Clifford Hamilton, Danraj Hansraj, Wazim Shaw, Brandon Boodoo, Rocky Kowchai, Rayhanul Islam, Imdad Khan, Dino Choo-Wee- Nam, Robin Ramasami, Anwer Hussain, Inzamam Khan, Michael Katwaroo, Anwer Kamal, Steven Chetram, Nadeem Asgarally, Syed Omar, Nyad Asgarally, Zahid Omar, Ajaz Asgarally (coach) , Andy Mohammed (Asst Coach), Fiaz Asgarally(Manager) and Zaaid Majeed (Asst Manager).

Union says Government consultation must be followed by action
January 31st: Unite today welcomed the Government’s consultation on bogus self-employment and expressed the hope that the consultation process will be followed by concrete action. The consultation follows a high-profile strike in2014/2015 by Unite members working on a JJ Rhatigan site at the government-funded Kishoge Community College site, where the Department of Social Protection subsequently found that the workers had in fact been employed.
Commenting on the consultation, Unite Regional Officer for Construction, Tom Fitzgerald, said:
“Unite welcome’s the consultation process and will be making a submission. This is a serious issue affecting workers in the construction sector, where around 50 per cent of all workers are categorised as self-employed. In my experience, many of those workers are in fact bogusly self-employed: to all intents and purposes they are employed, but the ‘end user’ employer uses a web of sub-contracting to avoid their obligations.
“The ICTU has estimated that bogus self-employment costs the Exchequer around €80 million each year, and I believe this to be a conservative estimate. The cost to individual workers is substantial: the end-user employer avoids paying employer’s PRSI contribution, so the worker loses out on a range of benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay, maternity pay, unemployment benefit, and employer pension contributions.
“In effect, bogus self-employment means that workers and taxpayers end up subsidising unscrupulous employers.
“Unite will be making a submission to the consultation process, and we hope that the current political interest in bogus self-employment will outlast the General Election campaign and result in concrete measures to protect both workers and the Exchequer”, Tom Fitzgerald concluded.

black footballers with their white wives/girlfriends
They say with money comes power and the women follow and for football stars, this has proven to be true.
For black footballers, money and fame have given them the opportunity to mingle with women especially white women who would have been far from their reach if they were poor.
But why do the majority of black football players love dating white women?
The reason most of these footballers date the women from the racial divide is if not love to experience what they have never experienced in their lives.
For a majority of the black footballers have come from deprived backgrounds and dating or even marrying the white women would have been an impossibility.

Freedom is a double-edged sword. And nowhere is it more evident than in the life of a freelancer. The freedom here is close to absolute – you can set the hours, decide your workload, choose your workplace, and so on.
The freedom to set your rates, however, is an altogether different proposition. It would have been a breeze if you were one of the few freelancers on the market. But we don’t live in a perfect world – there are millions of freelancers in the modern digital economy, and more are being drawn to this field each day.
Freelancers, particularly new ones, face a dilemma when setting their rates in such a crowded market – set it too low and you run the risk of getting underpaid, set it too high and you might drive off potential clients to others (and end up not getting paid at all).
There are many factors at play here and no easy answers. But with some soul-searching, self-assessment, and research on your chosen niche in the freelancer market, you can remove a lot of the uncertainties and unknowns. This guide will help you get started!
Common misconceptions about freelancing debunked
Moving from the stability of a single employer and stable income to a world of unknowns can be quite daunting. People often enter the world of freelancing with trepidation, and a lot of preconceived notions. Many of these are shaped by common perceptions and fears about freelancing.
While they may seem logical, these misconceptions can severely hinder your long-term prospects as a freelancer. Here are three of the most common myths harbored by freelancers (including some pros) about their line of work:
1. I need to accept low rates as a beginner (as I can ask for more later)
Beginners in the field often suffer from a crippling sense of insecurity. It creates a mentality of “beggars can’t be choosers.” The desperation to land your first client can often lead to rookies accepting rates that are simply too low for the project.
This is often driven by a false notion that you can ask for better rates in the future based on a job well done. But when a lot of freelancers think and behave in this manner, it only drives down the average rates further.
Clients, especially business firms, are always looking to cut down expenses – and when freelancers start accepting sub-standard wages, it sets a precedent that clients can lean on. Gradually, it becomes harder for you to negotiate higher rates, because other new freelancers would follow this same mindset and drive down rates further.
2. I need to create a body of work to ask for higher rates
This is a bit of a Catch-22 situation – you can’t ask for higher rates until you have a decent body of finished projects. But as you continue to accept low rates, it becomes harder to find clients willing to pay more. Besides, where do you draw the line on how much is an “adequate body of work” to demand higher rates?
There is no doubt that experience is worth a premium in the freelancing world. This is especially true in the more creative realms like writing, design, or even coding for that matter. But in many cases, you already have a “body of work” to show clients your value – academic credentials, degrees, published work online, experience in offices, and so on.
3. I cannot afford to reject low paying gigs
Many beginners often suffer from this fear, which is based on the intense competition in freelancing these days. The logic is that if you don’t accept that particular gig, someone else will – you lose while someone else wins.
While that is probably true, this does not mean you have to accept every gig that comes your way. The freelancer market is huge and growing a fast clip, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic – more firms are hiring freelancers to cut down on operating costs.
4. I have to work for free sometimes
Photographers are often asked to give photos for free, in exchange for “exposure.” Bloggers, musicians, and others have all had the same experience, especially when starting as beginners in freelancing.
This is unfortunate as it can easily be avoided. If someone is asking for you to create something using your time and effort (despite your beginner status), it has a clear, tangible value. You should be seeking payment for that, period.
How to estimate your worth as a beginner freelancer
In full-time employment, there are established pay scales and average salaries that can provide you guidance. Plus, you don’t have to constantly negotiate your pay with your employer. None of this is true when it comes to freelancing – the client expects you to know your worth.
Your worth as a freelancer will determine how well you do in this career – it will determine your rates and the kind of work you will end up doing. So, it is important to get this right early on in your freelancing career. Here are the important steps involved:
Research your niche/market
Before you start a new business/company, you would naturally do quite a bit of background research – on your market segment, target consumer demographic, potential rivals and their products, average pricing, emergent technologies, and so on.
In freelancing, you are the firm – and you cannot move forward successfully without some research on your field. Check out popular freelancer platforms online. What are the rates being set by clients for projects you are interested in/capable of doing? What about the rates set by other freelancers with similar skills as yours?
Understand the value you bring to your clients
This part calls for some self-assessment and frank introspection. Your value to clients is based on several things – academic credentials, work experience, and expertise in specific fields. The individual importance of these aspects will vary depending on your niche.
For instance, degrees may be more important in software-related sectors, or academic work. On the other hand, it will carry less weight in niches like graphic design or photography as they give more weightage to experience and specific skills.
Experience is important in freelancing – even if you are a beginner freelancer, you can command premium rates based on the time you have spent working elsewhere in a traditional office environment.
Position yourself on the market
The freelancer market is quite mature these days, with wide diversity in task complexity and project budgets. How you position yourself in the marketplace will decide the type of clientele you attract. This decision should be based on insights gleaned from steps one and two above.
Experience is important in freelancing – even if you are a beginner freelancer, you can command premium rates based on the time you have spent working elsewhere in a traditional office environment. You can set a premium rate and position yourself on the high-end of the market.
But if you are a fresher with limited experience, your choices will be somewhat limited, unless your degree is in a “hot” tech field like data science or AI. You will have to bide your time at lower than average rates, at least until you gain some relevant experience.
Important factors to consider when setting your rates
Value, worth – these are all rather vague, ambiguous terms. They are like the preliminary sketches you draw while making a painting – giving a baseline for your next step, which would be to set specific rates for your services. This involves some unavoidable number crunching:
Figure out your revenue goals/necessary profit margins
At the end of the day, freelancing is just another way to earn for your survival. And that involves a specific amount of money that you have to earn each year. This involves everything – living expenses, holiday expenses, retirement fund, and savings for contingencies.
This is one area where freelancing falls short when compared to full-time employment in an office. Apart from a fixed salary, employees often get other benefits like health insurance, pension fund, holiday bonus etc. Tax is also deducted from the salary beforehand.
Working as a freelancer, you get none of the above – you have to account for everything while setting your rates. And tax is a major factor you simply cannot ignore, as freelancing often attracts different taxation rates compared to businesses or salaried employment.
Consider all business costs/expenses
Like all businesses, freelancing also involves overhead – you will incur at least some ongoing expenses, regardless of your field of work. But it will vary vastly depending on your niche. If you can work from anywhere with just a basic laptop and internet, it will be minimal – internet bills, online subscriptions for services like Microsoft Office, accounting software, and so on.
Others may have to factor in a lot of other expenses – the cost of specialized hardware like cameras and AV equipment come to mind, as well as studio space, or other labor charges if they have to use extra hands during the production process. All these costs have to be factored into your rate calculations.
Rates you set may apply to your short/medium-term future
There is a lot of ebb and flow in freelancing – There might be days and weeks when you are swamped with work, while on others you are sitting idle. Ignore this aspect and you will be compelled to hike your rates at times to cover your expenses.
Clients will not appreciate this kind of haphazard behaviour. It might deter them from developing long-term work arrangements with you. So be extra careful when setting rates or quoting a price for a project. Try to set a competitive rate that you can maintain even during lean spells.
Why flexibility in pricing is important
Freelancing gives you an option to lead a very flexible lifestyle. But in return, it also demands a measure of flexibility and accommodative spirit from you. To succeed and prosper in this field, you have to maintain an open mind when it comes to your rates.
You also have to think about the client’s perspective when negotiating a rate. Playing hardball may work against you here, for the following reasons:
Projects vary in terms of available budget
Freelance gigs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are one-time gigs with a strict budget. Others may be medium/long-term arrangements with some leeway regarding the ongoing rates. You may not find a project that perfectly fits your asking rate all the time.
Some tasks are more complex
It would be foolish to expect clients to pay you the same price for jobs that require different levels of engagement. For instance, a five-minute-long video with complex lighting and special effects will cost more than one with basic content. Likewise, writing gigs can involve varying levels of research and content requirements.
Clients have varying expectations about freelancing
Clients come in all shapes and sizes in the realm of freelancing. Some may be individuals, others could be SMEs looking to outsource specialized tasks, or it could even be big enterprises filling gaps in a project at short notice.
This leads to a wide disparity in terms of financial prowess and expectations regarding the cost of a freelancer. A few clients may have deep pockets and the liberty to pay top dollar. Others may seek freelancers who can deliver acceptable results for the lowest price.
With so many variables involved, the best thing for a freelancer to do is to maintain a flexible approach to pricing.
Approaches to flexible pricing for a freelancer
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to creating a flexible approach to your freelancer rates. A lot depends on your niche, your revenue goals, and the amount of time you are willing to invest in freelancing. Regardless of all these, there is one important thing you need to do:
Set hard lines that you will never cross
In the beginning, draw a line in the sand by setting the minimum rate that you expect from your clients. This should be the baseline for all your pricing models. Make it the lowest rate you would be comfortable asking a client, based on your experience and skills (your self-worth). Avoid taking up gigs that pay less than this amount as much as possible.
Consider a strategic pricing model
A strategic pricing model will take into account not just your income expectations and goals, but also the rates of your competition. In some projects, you may have the freedom to demand top dollar. But if it is an open project where you are competing with others, you may be forced to lower your rates.
Multi-tiered pricing – introductory rates, regular rates, premium rates
If you want to take things forward to a more detailed, granular level, you can create multiple pricing tiers. This is more geared towards experienced freelancers who already have a somewhat stable clientele. Introductory rates would be aimed at new clients, with or without free samples.
The other tiers will be defined both by average pricing as well as other aspects like the complexity of the project (hours required), the budget of the client, and so on. This approach creates an aura of professionalism and shows the clients that you mean business.
Enhance your chances of getting paid your worth
Apart from smart pricing strategies, there are few other things you can do to improve your chances of closing a project to the satisfaction of your clients (and of course, getting paid as well):
Set clear expectations at the beginning
In many instances, freelancing is new for both parties – many new clients often come with an inflated expectation about freelancers. They may expect an unrealistically high quality of work for throwaway prices.
As a professional, it is your responsibility to establish clear expectations regarding the work. Convey all details and samples to your client to ensure that they know what they will get from you. Also, make it a point to get as many details about the work as possible.
Create a written contract
In business relations, disputes can always arise at one point or another. A written contract is a valuable tool that can protect you and ensure payment when a client tries to take advantage of you. Outline all important aspects, like your rates, and how they may be altered if the client expands the scope of the project later on.
Keep things professional
Run your freelancing career like a professional firm or business. Maintain good communication with your clients at all times and provide updates when requested. This goes both ways – if they don’t respond to your payment queries, keep chasing them in a polite yet formal manner.
Make it easy to get paid
In eCommerce, there is no dearth of online payment methods these days. Most businesses offer multiple options to clients – credit cards, bank transfers, Paypal. Your clients may come from different walks of life – it is important to maintain multiple payment channels.
How often to review rates, and how to set new rates
Unfortunately, you cannot simply set a rate and forget all about it. If you work in an office, you can expect annual reviews that have promotions or a raise attached to them. But as a freelancer, you have to take care of all that on your own.
On the one hand, you cannot keep hiking your rates frequently – you will get shunned by clients who will probably find better rates elsewhere. But on the flipside, stagnant rates will reduce your profit margin with each passing year.
Here are three tips to help you decide when and how to revise your freelancer rates:
Consider the annual changes in costs
Governments set their budgets on a per-year basis, as do most businesses. You could follow the same approach in freelancing as well – check out the current changes in your living expenses as well as any business costs.
Given the usual rate of inflation in the economy, costs are always increasing. You could make changes in your freelancer rates annually to reflect these changes. Even if you don’t feel the need to make significant changes (you are doing well in business), make it a point to review it at least annually.
Research competitor pricing
You are not the only one out there dealing with the changing economy and market forces. While you are at it, do some research on your peers in the freelance community. Are they drastically increasing their rates, or taking a more cautious approach?
While you may not want to base your rate revision entirely on this, it is well worth a look. Competitor rates can have a significant impact on your ability to attract new clients, and maintain existing ones as well.
Conduct surveys of existing clients
This is a very valuable source of information often ignored by veteran freelancers. You can seek feedback from your clients regarding any proposed changes in your rates. Consider sending them simple questionnaires after completing projects.
Or you can even send them a sample bill with your revised rates – ask them if they would be willing to pay that in the future. Ask for honest opinions and be prepared for any kind of response, negative or positive. Use this information to create the best possible rates going forward in your freelance career!

Although multiple studies suggest a potential role for angiotensin II in inflammation, most were performed either in vitro or in animals with non-immune-complex-mediated diseases. Extrapolation of these findings to humans, particularly patients with lupus, which involves multiple immunoregulatory pathways, is unclear. In autoimmune-prone MRL/lpr mice, angiotensin-converting- enzyme (ACE) inhibition improved survival although to a lesser degree than cyclophosphamide and diminished the glomerular histopathologic damage, proteinuria, lymphoid hyperplasia, dermatitis, and hypergammaglobulinemia, with a reduction in TGF-beta1 and beta 2 expression in the kidneys and renal chemokine mRNA expression. Spleen levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were also reduced. Uncontrolled studies in patients with treatment-refractory lupus nephritis showed a significant reduction in proteinuria with ACE-inhibitors and Angiotensin receptor blockers treatment. The 'masking' effect of ACE-inhibitors should be taken into consideration, as an exacerbation of lupus nephritis may be missed when estimated by the magnitude of proteinuria, which is decreased by these treatments. No single ACE genotype was consistently associated with subsets of SLE patients. In retrospective analyses, ACE-inhibitor use predicted a favourable outcome in 94 cases of pauci-immune vasculitis. The attenuating effect of angiotensin II inhibitors on the progression of chronic renal disease is well recognized. The data on the role of this intervention in lupus is limited.
- ACE inhibitors
- Angiotensin receptor antagonist, lupus nephritis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus

RESPONDENTS: Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD); Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr. and Michael D. McCurry, Co-Chairs, CPD
SUBJECT: The complaint alleged that CPD, Fahrenkopf and McCurry failed to comply with the Commission’s regulations governing debate sponsorship because it allegedly is not non-partisan and failed to apply pre-established, objective criteria. As a result, CPD allegedly made prohibited contributions and expenditures, accepted prohibited contributions and failed to register and report as a political committee.
DISPOSITION: The Commission found no reason to believe that a violation occurred because the debates staged by the CPD satisfy the requirements of Commission debate regulations and thus the CPD’s expenditures on debates are not contributions or expenditures under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act). Therefore, CPD did not meet the Act’s definition of a political committee subject to the Act’s registration and reporting requirements.
COMPLAINANT: Congressional Leadership Fund and Brian Walsh, President
RESPONDENTS: House Majority PAC and Shannon Roche, in her official capacity as treasurer; Alex Sink for Congress and Jennifer May, in her official capacity as treasurer; Largo/Mid-Pinellas Democratic Club; Elizabeth Snedeker; and Rich Piper
SUBJECT: The complaint alleged that House Majority PAC and Roche, in her official capacity as treasurer, an independent expenditure-only political committee, made an excessive contribution in the form of a coordinated communication and that Alex Sink for Congress and May, in her official capacity as treasurer, or the Democratic Party received or accepted such a contribution either directly or acting through the Largo/Mid-Pinellas Democratic Club, Piper or Snedeker. Sink was a 2014 special election candidate for Florida’s 13th Congressional District.
DISPOSITION: The Commission concluded that pursuing the matter further would not be an efficient use of the Commission’s resources, and thus exercised its prosecutorial discretion and dismissed the matter.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
The Commission made public two campaign finance enforcement matters that were resolved through its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program, as follows. For more information, see the case documents in the Enforcement Query System.
ADR 773 – Kevin McCarthy for Congress and Jill Thomson, in her official capacity as treasurer. The Commission dismissed and closed the file.
ADR 778 – Ohio Republican Party State Central & Executive Committee and Ranae Lentz, in her official capacity as treasurer. The respondent agreed to (1) develop and certify implementation of a compliance operations manual that includes internal controls consistent with those described in the Commission’s Internal Controls and Political Committees advisory document and the Best Practices for Committee Management, (2) certify that a representative of the Committee participated in an FEC conference, webinar, or other program developed in consultation with the FEC’s Information Division, and (3) pay a civil penalty of $3,000.
Independence Institute v. FEC (Case 14-5249). On January 6, the Plaintiff-Appellant filed a Supplemental Brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Also on January 6, the Commission filed its Supplemental Brief.
Level the Playing Field, et al. v. FEC (Case 1:15-cv-01397-TSC). On January 5, the Plaintiffs filed the Second Amended Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Public Citizen, et al. v. FEC (Case 1:14-cv-00148-RJL). On December 31, the Commission filed its Amended Certified List of Contents of the Administrative Record in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Pursuing America's Greatness v. FEC (Case 15-5264). On December 23, the Pacific Legal Foundation and James Madison Center for Free Speech filed a Brief Amicus Curiae in Support of Plaintiff-Appellant and Reversal in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The massive expansion of the BHP mine at Olympic Dam in South Australia is splendid economic news for Australia in terms of job creation and export revenue, as is the impending opening of the Galilee Coal Basin in Queensland which has the potential to become Australia’s largest coal field.
Reports on the 24-hour news cycle tell us that BHP has signed an agreement with the South Australian Government to build a water desalinisation plant near Port Augusta, with pipelines to Olympic Dam at an estimated capital cost of four billion dollars and an annual operating and maintenance cost of $200 million. Some of the water will be used also to meet general water needs in South Australia.
This decision shows once again the unfortunate tendency of State Governments to make decisions in isolation without looking at a solution that will create economic and social opportunities across the nation as well.
The development of Olympic Dam is occurring at the same time as the Galilee coal mines are preparing to commence their operations, and are implementing their planned rail and port capacity based on Abbott Point at Bowen. All of the proposed mines face problems of considerable magnitude in finding an adequate water supply which will not decimate the water needs of farming and grazing properties in the region.
The fact is that Olympic Dam and the people of South Australia can have their water needs met totally by channeling surplus water south from tropical rivers in the Gulf Country of Queensland at lesser capital and maintenance costs than a power-consuming desalinisation plant, while the same water channels will flow through the Galilee Basin to provide the requirements of the new mines and also enhance rural industries in the region.
At the same time, in the same way, the water system can save the Murray Darling Basin by connecting into a tributary of the Darling at Tambo in Queensland and sending a nonstop supply of water down to the great farming communities of the Riverina and into the Murray, from where it can serve the water-starved fruit growing area of South Australia around Renmark.
Two added benefits are that it will:
• Keep Lake Eyre permanently filled with water, thus improving the harsh climate of Central Australia, while creating a number of farming and grazing opportunities as water flows towards the lake, such as cotton farming in the Channel Country of Queensland.
• Open a giant food bowl on the blacksoil plains around Longreach in the central west of Queensland, providing additional food security for Australia and creating for us some new export income by providing fruit and vegetables that Asians require.
After reading of BHP’s announcement about Olympic Dam, I gathered together a small team, including water engineer, Terry Bowring, and bush tourism veteran, John Thompson, to look at all of these projects from a national perspective — rather than being influenced by the insular parochial viewpoints of States.
We upgraded a lot of our initial thinking on the potential transfer of tropical water to the south that I have outlined in previous editions of Everald@Large. John Thompson, who knows the bush like the back of his hand, has drawn up a rough ‘mud map’ to give us a general idea of the concept as a work in progress. I am sure that this strategy can be vastly improved when some preliminary engineering work and environmental assessments are done.
Our starting point is based on the Gilbert River Aquifer up in the Gulf Country of Queensland. Its water level is 70 metres below its capacity and it can be used as a storage facility for dry years. A channel will be created from the Gilbert and surrounding rivers to fill the aquifer, plus a holding area from which water will flow down the Clarke River into theBurdekin. From the southern end of the Burdekin Dam, a channel will be built through the Galilee Coal Basin down to the headwaters of the Darling River system at Tambo, from where water will flow to the mouth of the Murray in South Australia without any other canal being required.
From Tambo, the Barcoo also runs within a few kilometers of the planned canal, and its water flows into Cooper Creek and down towards Lake Eyre. Just before its water reaches Lake Eyre, it crosses the Birdsville track. A canal will be built south from there and on to Olympic Dam.
Back in Queensland, an extra canal will be built for a short distance from the Gilbert River Aquifer to the Porcupine River and, further south, another small canal will link it to Landsborough Creek which flows into the Thomson near Longreach, opening up the new food bowl. The same water will flow all the way from there down Cooper Creek to a new cotton growing area in the channel country and on to Lake Eyre.
In future years, when a larger volume of water is needed to meet the requirements of all the envisioned projects, it will be easy to extend the canal north from the Gilbert River to tap into the strong flowing Norman River. Similarly, another canal can be built from the Tully River, down to the Burdekin.
The initial construction cost will be around four billion dollars, the same cost as envisaged for the desalinisation plant currently planned for the Olympic Dam — but this expenditure has the extra benefit of opening up northern and central Australia for significant economic development.
BHP would pay for the 300 kilometre canal running down the Birdsville track, plus their share of the cost of the northern canals — about two billion dollars all up, I reckon. The Galilee mines and rural users in the north and centre will pay their share as well, while operating and maintenance costs would be similarly allocated.
Storage facilities will be required progressively, but there are some real possibilities such as the Goonaghooheeny Billabong near Cooper Creek; it is 200 kilometres long — some billabong. Large storage areas will be needed in the Galilee Basin and the Longreach Food Bowl, but there are potential sites that can be investigated. Similarly, a large storage will be created near Tambo from which some water will go south to the Murray and some south-west to Olympic Dam.
All of this can be made part of a national flood mitigation program which is long overdue. Indeed, the whole project has genuine tourism potential as well.
This is an Olympic dream for Australia embracing far more than a water solution for Olympic Dam, the Galilee mines and Inland Australia generally. When Bradfield drew-up his grand water plan three quarters of a century ago, it was rejected as being uneconomic by the usual ‘negative nellies’ who abound in every generation.
At that point, Australia had half the population that it has now, and Bradfield envisaged only a growth in agriculture, not mining. Nor did Australia have food security issues or a starving world crying out for regular food supplies. We didn’t have much technology either.
More importantly, we now have the environmental science that will ensure that the good earth of our continent in enhanced, not destroyed. It simply needs the constructive and responsible ingenuity of humankind to recreate the old continent. A few thousand years ago, our inland rivers ran mightily. We can get them to run again in the way that nature always intended, while taking into account the environmental impact of twenty million people who were not around in ancient times, and turning this factor into an asset. A clear possibility is that these waterways can become the permanent scene of thousands of trees and an abundance of wildlife.
A dream of such Olympic proportions really can become a reality — and quickly. It will fire the imagination of a nation which is currently depressed by the inane debates on trivia that flow from our parliaments, and are magnified by a headline hungry media.

MADISON, Wis., Nov. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MIOsoft Corporation announced today that Gartner Inc. has identified MIOsoft as a Visionary for data quality tools, based on MIOsoft's ability to execute and completeness of vision. This recognition comes in the Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, published on Nov. 18, 2015.*
The components of MIOvantage, MIOsoft's data quality solution, have been used since 2004 for data quality in enterprises worldwide, including some of the world's largest companies. The MIOvantage platform, which combines these components, was introduced in 2014.
MIOsoft's cofounders have extensive backgrounds in enterprise environments, which has informed MIOvantage's development from the beginning, according to Jordan Barrette, MIOsoft's chief operating officer.
"MIOvantage's suitability for enterprise usage isn't a side effect of developing for big data in general," said Barrette. "Our technology has been driven specifically by the needs of enterprise customers from Day One."
As described by Gartner, "Visionaries demonstrate a strong understanding of current and future market trends and directions, such as the importance of alternative deployment options like SaaS, support for large datasets, the engagement of business subject matter experts and the delivery of data quality services. They exhibit capabilities aligned with these trends, but although they may deliver good customer experiences, they may lack the market presence, brand recognition, customer base and resources of larger vendors."*
According to Barrette, customers of future MIOvantage deployments will see enhanced all-around support for their data quality initiatives.
"Although our customers have been happy with their MIOvantage experiences, we know that in the end it's all about how fast and effective we can be at solving the specific problems of a specific customer," Barrette said. "This led us to include work with our in-house experts as part of every step of the MIOvantage sales and deployment process, so we can better support the customer's data quality initiatives from the ground up. That covers everything from weighing in on strategy and big-picture questions to just saying, 'Here's how you do that in MIOvantage.'"

Spotlight On…Oldham Athletic
The Latics are the latest League One side we look at ahead of the forthcoming season.
It was Lee Johnson's first full season as manager at Oldham and he guided them to a mid-table 15th position.
The season was a very inconsistent one as they spent the majority of the season around the 14th to 18th positions.
They did finish the season strongly as they went ten matches unbeaten. Four wins and six draws saw them finish comfortably away from the relegation places.
THE MANAGER - LEE JOHNSON
Johnson is the son of former Posh manager Gary Johnson and is one of the youngest managers in League One.
Following Paul Dickov's dismissal in 2013, Johnson took his first steps in management with his main task to get the Latics out of the relegation places. He did this with his first game when beating Hartlepool United 3-1 while the club eventually finished outside the relegation places.
As a player, Johnson spent time in the youth systems at Arsenal and Watford before joining Brighton & Hove Albion in 2000. He didn`t aply any games for the Seagulls and moved on to Yeovil Town the following season where he joined up with his dad.
Six years and nearly 200 games down the line, Johnson moved up to Scotland to join Hearts but he only appeared four times for them before moving down south again; this time to Bristol City. He spent six years at the Robins which included two short loan spells to Derby County and Chesterfield.
His final club was back up in Scotland. He joined Kilmarnock on a two-and-a-half-year contract in February 2012 and just a month after joining, he was celebrating winning the Scottish League Cup Final after beating Celtic 1-0.
He left Kilmarnock in January 2013 to head to Oldham and officially took over the managerial reigns in March.
VISITING THE GROUND?
The Latics play their home games at Sportsdirect.com Park (aka Boundary Park); their home since 1904. It has a capacity of just over 10,500 and is reckoned to be the coldest ground in the Football League! It is the third highest venue above sea level though which could be the reason or it could just be bloody cold in Oldham!
Posh are due to play there on the last day of the season…Saturday, 2nd May, 2015.
Post Code for SAT NAV: OL1 2PA
Distance from London Road: 146 miles
SUMMER BUSINESS SO FAR
Striker Danny Philliskirk has agreed a new two-year deal with the Latics after finishing top scorer last season with 12 goals. Five players have departed though with Charlie MacDonald, Kirk Millar, Danny Gosset and Terry Dunfield all being released.
Former Posh midfielder James Wesolowski, goalkeeper Paul Rachubka and full-back Connor Brown have all been offered new contracts while defender Adam Lockwood has already agreed a one-year extension to his contract. Rachubka has also agreed the one-year deal offered to him.
The Latics have also taken up one-year options on James Wilson, David Mellor, Genseric Kusunga and Carl Winchester, meaning they will stay next season.
Defender Jonathan Grounds has left the club and signed for Championship side Birmingham City while captain Korey Smith has joined Bristol City on a three-year deal with Liam Kelly coming in the opposite direction.
The Latics have also signed left-back Joseph Mills, who left Premiership-bound Burnley, defender Brian Wilson from Colchester United and midfielder Mike Jones from Crawley Town. All three have signed two-year contracts.
They have been joined at the club by French midfielder Timothee Dieng on a two-year contract. The 22-year-old was a free agent after he was released by Stade Brestois, who play in the French second division.
The influx of players has continued with the signing of former Kidderminster Harriers striker Amari Morgan-Smith on a one-year deal while 22-year-old former Kilmarnock striker Willie Gros has signed a one-month contract!
THEY PLAYED FOR BOTH
Current Latics goalkeeper Paul Rachubka along with midfielder James Wesolowski and striker Jonson Clarke-Harris have all played for Posh in the past. There are no current Posh players that have played for Oldham but there have been quite a few down the years to have donned the shirts of both teams.
As well as Rachubka, there have been a splattering of goalkeepers to have represented both clubs including Ben Amos, Shwan Jalal (on trial only at Oldham), Stuart Naylor (goalkeeping coach at Oldham) and Jon Sheffield.
Other players to have represented both clubs include defensive duo Mark Arber and Guy Branston, midfielders Richard Butcher and Josh Low, and forwards Wayne Andrews, Leon Constantine and Tony Philliskirk (whose son now plays for the Latics).
There have only been 32 League clashed between Posh and the Latics and there is just one win difference. Posh have 12 wins compared to the Latics 11.
Both clubs won their respective home fixture last season. Posh won the first clash at London Road when goals from Britt Assombalonga and Lee Tomlin gave Posh a 2-0 lead before Charlie MacDonald reduced the arrears in the final minute.
The return fixture was an eventful one to say the least and it was another nail in Lee Tomlin`s career at Posh.
Posh had cruised into a 3-0 half-time lead thanks to goals from Britt Assombalonga, Tommy Rowe and Lee Tomlin. Such was the dominance of Posh in the first-half that a number of Latics fans even left the game!
Those fans would rue that decision because just three minutes into the second half, Gary Harkins pulled a goal back. David Worrall pulled another goal back six minutes later and it was game on again.
Posh calmed things down again on 63 minutes when they extended their lead again thanks to Nicky Ajose but that wasn`t the end of the scoring. If Posh thought they`d finally got the better of their hosts, former Posh midfielder James Wesolowski had other ideas. He brought the game back to a one-goal difference with 22 minutes remaining.
Could Posh hold on?
It looked like they were going to until Mr Petulant, Lee Tomlin, got himself sent off with just two minutes remaining. Surely Posh could hold on for those two minutes? Sadly not!
Gary Harkins scored the resulting penalty following Tomlin`s sending off for handball and then incredibly, with the last kick of the match, Genseric Kusunga scored the winner for the home side!
WHAT THE BOOKIES THINK
The Latics are a massive 40/1 to claim the League One title this season while they are 14/1 to get promoted. They are also outsiders to finish in the top six but you can get odds of 6/1 for them to achieve that.
Despite having a better season last season that the one before, the bookies still think the Latics will struggle and are joint fifth favourites to be relegated. They have odds of 5/2 for the drop; the same odds as Rochdale.

Prospects for Texas commuter and inter-city railToday is a bit rushed, so I'd like to pass-along an email dialogue I had with reader David Gratvol (with his permission) on prospects for rail to Galveston, College Station, and in the Texas Triangle. Before we get to that though, I'd like to take a short moment to recognize and celebrate Houston Strategies' two-year anniversary. I've learned a ton, both from having to cohere my scattered thoughts into written form as well as from your insightful comments. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have, and I'm looking forward to the next two years (and beyond). As always, thanks for your readership.
On to the dialogue:

Thank you for your very kind compliments. Here are the reasons a Galveston line can make sense:
1) local transit at both ends to get you to your final destination
2) highly populated corridor
3) regular congestion on the existing freeway
4) tourism potential in addition to commuters (better overall utilization
for the capital cost)
5) existing tracks that make the cost much more reasonable
Unfortunately, College Station would lack 4 of these 5 (I think the tracks
exist, but I don't know their freight utilization). It really even lacks
commuters. The Galveston line has a major job center at Clear Lake in
addition to downtown and Galveston, so people could live near any of those 3 and commute to another one. There are limited job centers along a line to College Station, and essentially no daily commuters between the two. Because of that, I think Greyhound service is probably adequate between Houston and CS.
As far as broader inter-city rail in Texas, I'm very skeptical of the costs
vs. the benefits, especially because most of the cities in Texas don't have
very robust local transit. It works in the DC-Boston corridor because it's
not hard to get the last few miles to your final destination on local lines,
but that's not true in Texas. If a person's going to have to rent a car or
use a taxi anyway, they really might as well take a cheap and fast flight on
Southwest (or take a Greyhound bus, or just drive themselves). California
is actively looking at intercity high speed rail, and they have a much
higher population and more density than Texas, along with more local
transit, better pedestrian weather, and much more congested freeways and airports. My thinking is wait and see if California successfully pulls it
off first. If so, then maybe Texas should start taking a look.

I'm just not sure TAMU would generate enough riders to justify a line that long (90+ miles). Princeton does have rail to NYC (50m away), but it also surrounded by suburbs with employees that commute to Manhattan - not the case in College Station. I'm all for better ties between Houston and TAMU though. Maybe there needs to be very nice bus (more upscale than Greyhound - nice seats, tray tables and power for laptops, wireless Internet), that does the route on an express basis (few stops) on a pretty regular schedule. Something that gets a bit of marketing/branding so people know about it and use it. "Aggie Express"?
I agree high speed rail might get you downtown to downtown faster than SWA. But only a tiny percentage of Houston and Dallas jobs are in their downtowns (less than 7% in Houston's case, worse in Dallas). DFW in particular has them spread all over the place. And it would cost tens of billions to move maybe 2-3 thousand people/day, saving them maybe half an hour or so vs. flying. Houston's LRT, for example, cost about $300m for 7.5 miles to move more than 40,000 people a day, and even that's on the edge financially and subsidized (tickets don't cover costs, as opposed to aviation).
Your thoughts welcome in the comments. David also gave me permission to share his email, if you'd like to contact him. In a format to thwart spam-bots, it's gravtol (at) yahoo.com.

I’m going to spend January using an Android phone and tablet instead of my iPhone and iPad. My Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 are charged up and ready to go – all I need is a SIM card.
I’ve been an iPhone user since I ditched my HTC Dash running some version of Windows Mobile 6 oh so many years ago. I’ve struggled with battery life, broken screens, water damage, and this insatiable urge to upgrade to the latest iPhone the day it comes out. When I travel overseas, I’ve gone completely off the rails trying to figure out how to get a SIM that works even in an unlocked iPhone 4. But, overall the iPhone has been good to me and the companies I invest in.
But recently I’ve been sad. I didn’t like iOS 7 when it came out and I’m still not loving it. I felt bummed out by the latest iPhone release which seems to have – well – nothing really new except some fingerprint thing and different colors. And as more and more of my world is Google-related, I find the iOS apps fine, but lacking.
I asked Fred Wilson which Android phone I should get. Fred’s been an unapologetic Android fan from the beginning because he hates the closedness of Apple. He told me “Nexus 7” so I bought it without looking. When it arrived, I realized I now had a really big phone since the Nexus 7 is actually a tablet. I just assumed it was better than the Nexus 5 (how’s that for not paying attention.) So I went online and got a Nexus 5 also.
That inspired me to run the January Android experiment. I use an iPad Mini for some stuff at home, although my favorite device to read on lately has been the Kindle Fire HD. But I’m going to see if I can consolidate all my activity to the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 for January.
The one big miss was a SIM card. I ordered one with the Nexus 7 and then didn’t get one for the Nexus 5, as I assumed I’d just use the one that came with the Nexus 7 for the Nexus 5 (since the Nexus 7 would always be on WiFi). When the Nexus 7 arrived, the SIM and the wireless charging pad weren’t in the box. I’ve tried to figure out how to tell Google they blew the shipping on this (since I ordered it directly from Google Play) but there doesn’t seem to be any way to do that. So I ordered another wireless charging pad and I’ll swing by one of those old fashioned phone stores tomorrow and pick up a SIM.
In the mean time, if you are an Android fan, I’m all ears for any suggestions, tips, and tricks that you have for my month of Android.

There was a period of around 12 years, I used Windows-based system, even a HTC handheld with Windows installed. I thought, and perhaps think even now, that Microsoft treats you as a teenager and act like a 'big bro' which is good when your primary business is not with devices. Linux, on the other hand, gives you more credit than Windows do. The main reason of my being with Windows platform was I focused on productivity, keeping aside my self customized environment.
Here is a compiled list from a LinuxQuestion posting (will be update accordingly):
6. Surf the internet, download files, pick up email without fear of the computer becoming infected with viruses, malware, etc. Linux - yes. Windows - it is possible to run as limited user which can limit malmare, but from my experience, it is difficult to use a Windows system as a limited user, and most people probably don't.
5. Ressurect old computer and use it as firewall, server, etc....

I have a 22,500 gal IG pool with a Pentair IC40 SWG. This is my 3rd season on the cell. I also have a Pentair Intelliflo VS pump. My first year no issues with chlorine production but last year and again this year I have noticed that I have to supplement with 6-8% bleach (about a gallon a week) to maintain my chlorine level at 3-4ppm. My FC slowly drifts down. I maintain my stabilizer at about 80ppm. I use the Trouble Free method. My water looks great but I wonder why the chlorine output is not enough to maintain my sanitizer levels. I have had to gradually increase the cell out put from 75% year one, 85% year two and this year I am at 100%. The cell is clean and maintained as directed. It has no scale. Salt level is 34-3500. I have my system cycle 4 3 hour runs for a total of 12 hours per day. I run my pump at 1150 rpms for a total flow across the cell of 30 gal/min.
It occurred to me today that perhaps if I increase the water flow across the cell to 1500 rpm/40 gal per min that I would potentially be exposing the cell to at least a 25% increase of NaCl molecules and consequently could expect an increase in chlorine production. Does this sound reasonable? Perhaps I have been running just enough water across the cell to have it function but not enough for max output. I know there is a law of diminishing returns in regards to water flow but I have been running my pump slow to save energy and get enough turns.
So I either have to increase my pump runs or increase flow right? I am also aware that the cell output drops with age and I probably am experiencing some of that. The only other thing I can think of is phosphate levels in the water. I have not tested for phosphates but am considering it. The pool is located in a rural area and is subject to lots of dust and some agricultural chemicals especially in the spring with planting. I don't use any pool chemicals that would introduce phosphates. It is filled with well water and so it is possible that it contains some natural phosphates. I do know it is naturally high in alkalinity at around 230 out of the tap. I have got the total alkalinity down to about 130 and my CSI runs about 0.10-0.14 at all times so I am able to maintain good balance. This is a vinyl liner pool.
Do any of you have any other ideas? I have had a pool for 30+ years and so I have had lots of experience but learn something new all the time,

Officials with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) say eight people were injured Tuesday night after a construction crane struck an overhead traffic sign, causing the sign to fall on top of a Metro bus.
According to KING 5 News, a contractor working on the SR 520 floating bridge was using a crane to lift a load of pipes off of a flatbed truck at approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday. Investigators say one of the pipes came loose from the load and struck a Metro bus carrying about 20 passengers.
The pipe reportedly ricocheted off of the bus and then struck the overhead traffic sign, which jarred the sign loose and caused it to fall back on top of the bus. According to the Washington State Patrol, eight of the bus passengers were injured as a result of the falling sign.
One woman on board the bus was also reportedly trapped in the wreckage and had to be extricated from the bus. She suffered a significant leg injury, according to troopers, and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The remaining seven injured passengers were also taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons.
Legal Liability for Accidents Involving a Contractor
It was unclear if there were any other collisions resulting from the accident, but troopers said they did not believe any of the people involved suffered life-threatening injuries.
It’s possible that the contractor responsible for the construction on the bridge could be held liable for the injuries and other damages caused to the injured passengers on the Metro bus. That goes for anyone else who may have otherwise been hurt as a result of the accident.
Although there was a lot of physical damage done to the bus and sign, this freak accident really could have been much worse, and the passengers involved appear to be lucky to have escaped without any fatalities or catastrophic injuries.
The results of the Washington State Patrol’s investigation into the accident will help victims better understand who exactly is responsible for the incident and what their legal options are moving forward.

Killing the Requirements Document
Scrapping heavy product process & solving for soul
Moving desks to sit between our designers, producers, and developers gave me a front row seat to our product development process. Our design-thinking product sprints uncovered product opportunity, but once we went into build, it was painfully obvious we were missing something: a visible articulation of the product’s soul. This is an attempt to build it back into how we work.
I’ve become fascinated with the common thread that determines the success — or failure — of a product. When it fails, it’s ugly. Teams — both internal and external — are hamstrung by process and hefty requirements documents, design-by-dictatorship, or opinions masquerading as facts.
Designing process and culture where product teams can become autonomous must involve vision. However, you can’t write a requirement for vision. Or can you?
Problem solving, when undertaken by a unit of diverse specialists who share a common goal, yields better results than a homogenous group of team members. But. Getting diverse team members rowing in the same direction is easier said than done. My mission is to help diverse teams articulate that common goal, so that:
- Product teams are ‘singing from the same hymnal’ (to quote my mother). Note: sharing a vision doesn’t mean there’s no debate — on the contrary, it should act as a lens through which debate is framed: deciding the best way to execute vision.
- Clients are empowered to input at the right time, in the right way. Too often we ask for client feedback once we’re finished solving their problem. Problem is, we solved the wrong problem — or worse, invented a problem that no one had. Quit working in a black box and bring clients into the product discussion up front.
- The soul of the product is not only tangible — but is visible: quite literally, written on the walls of the studio. Out of sight = out of mind. People put important things where they’ll see them. Truck drivers tape photos of their family to their dashboard. Keeping knowledge in your head is great for trivia night, but it tends to turn the design process into a game of Chinese whispers: and the results aren’t pretty.
I believe there is a correlation between how a team communicates a product’s vision — which frames our day to day decisions, behaviours and attitudes towards a product — and the success of the product. What follows is an attempt to create a framework of (scalable) guiding principles to nurture the product design process.
What is a Product’s Soul?
In my role, I hear a lot about technical requirements. Responsive. Integrated. Scrolling. Bounce rate. Churn. But when it comes right down to it: soul is the details. Bug release notes captured with humour. Lovingly crafted ‘404’ pages. I think it’s more. It’s not about process, but it is about a shared understanding of how the product should make the user feel. A few examples of products with ‘soul’:
Slack is the product person’s product. It’s simple, it’s elegant, and it knows what it stands for. My favourite nod to the user — and Slack’s mission (to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and more productive) — was their bug fix notes: a charming amuse-bouche from the product team to the user.
Spotify is often held up as a brilliant example for product teams everywhere for many reasons (among them, their product squads). I recently stumbled upon a lovingly crafted, ‘404’ page, proof that Spotify lives up to the hype.
A product in a category that’s not known for much of anything (email), Mailchimp’s mission is simple: send better email. One of my all time favourite features on Mailchimp is the screen that pops up just before sending an eDM.
“There is a perpetuated myth within the design community, that a single visionary is required to build great products. Rubbish. Great teams build great products; moreover, in my experience, the greatest teams prioritise and nurture a design process itself.”
How do You Solve for Soul?
As Rhys Newman states, there’s a design myth that it takes a visionary to build great products. Visionaries don’t scale, but vision can.
Good product managers solve for success of a product, but great product managers help their teams solve for product soul. Fewer requirement documents. More ‘most important user story’ discussions. In an attempt to solve for soul, I created a tool for myself and my teams, that I’d like to share. I’ve used this to identify internal and external product opportunities. It’s not meant to be a requirements document, or a brief, but rather a guiding compass, a north star for the product team.
The Product Charter
The product charter may not be right for every project, but it made me think differently about how we articulate, measure, and share our product purpose and knowledge. For our team, it’s been helpful in 1) capturing design workshop results, 2) communicating product purpose to new team members and 3) checking product decisions against.
Download it, use it, debate it, ask questions, improve upon it.
I want to build teams, and products, that sing with purpose. This document is a tool that has helped me ‘listen’ for that purpose throughout our design process. It takes inspiration from the Lean Business Canvas, draws on frameworks including Clayton Christensen’s ‘Jobs to Be Done’, Kerry Rhoden’s ‘HEART’ metrics framework, and challenges not only product owners — but product teams to identify problem, purpose, and vision statements.
How do you, and your teams champion product purpose internally?

I've really only recently begun to appreciate this holiday. It's not even just because it celebrates love, but I think it can also be about loving yourself. I don't look to this holiday as a cliche day to buy gifts for that special someone, I look at it now to love myself. So for the past few years I've taken the day to just pamper myself. I'll buy my own flowers and chocolates, and I'll watch 'Pride & Prejudice' by myself. It's taken a long time for me to be okay with being on my own on this holiday, but then I guess I'm really not. But here are just a few gifts I'd treat myself on this day. Hope you enjoy!

George Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin. Florida’s Stand Your Ground law could loom large moving forward.
Forty-five days after police in Sanford, Fla., released neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman without charges after he shot an unarmed black teenager, a special Florida prosecutor has charged him with second-degree murder.
News that Mr. Zimmerman was in custody in Florida capped an emotional and tense three weeks that raised questions about racial injustice and sparked a fiery national debate about Florida's landmark Stand Your Ground self-defense law, which prosecutors acknowledge they may still have to contend with in the case.
Amid massive public pressure and attention from the White House and the Justice Department, special state prosecutor Angela Corey announced Wednesday that the state was charging Zimmerman, a 28-year-old former altar boy going to school to become a police officer, for his role in Trayvon Martin's death.
Saying her decision had nothing to do with public pressure, Ms. Corey said she believes prosecutors have evidence to prove that Zimmerman did not act in self-defense under the state's Stand Your Ground law. A charge of second-degree murder involves the claim that death was caused by dangerous conduct and an obvious lack of concern for human life. Florida law requires a minimum punishment of 25 years and a maximum of life in prison without parole if convicted.
“We have to have reasonable certainty of conviction any time we file charges,” said Corey. “If Stand Your Ground is an issue, we'll fight it.”
Sanford police released Zimmerman on the night of the shooting, believing they didn't have probable cause given his self-defense claim and physical evidence – including blood on nose and back of his head – that he had defended himself.

I confess I have checked email on my iPhone-Nokia E61i-Blackberry while in the bathroom, crossing the street and during dinner at a busy restaurant. I used to think that with my email addiction, I was an extreme case, an email addict of the worse kind. Apparently, I am not alone.
A survey conducted by AOL shows that checking email on the portable devices has doubled since 2004. Americans who carry a mobile email device have some really strange addictions:
* 59% are checking email in bed
* 53% in the bathroom
* 37% are checking email while they drive.
The survey reveals that 43% of email users check their email first thing in the morning, and 40% have checked their email in the middle of the night. An average email user checks mail about five times a day. Nearly 83% of Americans check email while on vacation.
If mobile email is an addiction, one has to say the biggest dealer in town is RIM, whose Blackberry is the device of choice for many of us, though lately other devices and solutions such as Good Technology (a division of Motorola) have started to gain some traction.
According to The Radicati Group, a consulting and research firm based in Palo Alto, Calif., globally the wireless E-mail Market, which is forecast to grow from $6 billion in 2007 to nearly $25 billion in 2011. (PDF)

She was unshakable in the defense as the goalie-captain in Chak De! India. Her friends will tell you off screen she is a happy-go-lucky girl with a ready smile. But while shooting for Tum Milo Toh Sahi Vidya Malavade was almost bawling when confronted by belligerent co-stars.
It happened during a schedule at Kamal Amrohi Studio. Malavade and Anjana Sukhani came to the director Kabir Sadanand requesting permission to attend an event at Hotel Grand Hyatt. “We’ll be back in an hour,” they promised.
With Nana Patekar, Dimple Kapadia and Suneil Shetty around too, Sadanand knew that even without the two girls he could continue shooting. So he let them off with strict instructions to return in 60 minutes.
Given that it was the monsoon season and the rains had rutted the roads with potholes and choked with traffic, Sadanand didn’t expect his ladies to keep to their deadline. Having regularly checked with the their chauffer, he knew exactly when they reached the five-star venue, when the event started and when they drove away.
After a couple of hours, the duo returned with sheepish smiles and, almost immediately, were confronted by an angry Patekar. Shouting at them for
keeping him waiting, he threatened to walk out.
It turned into a war of the roses when Kapadia took up for the girls insisted that they couldn’t be taken to task just because they were a little late. “Why does it have to always be the way the men want it? We are not props,” she argued heatedly.
Shetty tried to butt in as mediator but his “peace” pleas fell on deaf ears. “Anjana, realising that things were getting out-of-hand, slunk away quietly but Vidya stood her ground, her eyes welling up with tears.
“She actually started crying and we all burst out laughing,” narrates Sadanand. “It took a few minutes to convince her that we were not mad with her and even longer to get her to believe that it was a prank that not Anna (Suneil) but Nana had plotted.”
Buzz is that Patekar had recommended Narayani Shastri’s name for Malavade’s role but Sadanand dismisses the rumour insisting that it was Shastri with whom he had worked on TV before, who after hearing the story suggested Patekar’s name. “Having worked with him in the Marathi film Pak Pak Pakak, she felt he suited the role best,” he flashbacks.
Soon after, Sadanand called Patekar and narrated his idea to him. That night when he returned to Mumbai, Patekar called back Sadanand to say “Mujhe nahin pata tumhari kya aukaat hai par tumhara sochh sahi hai (I don’t know your abilities as a director but I like your thought). I’ll do your film. Two years of work on the script had paid off.”

Fancy fighting a professional boxer? Nope, us neither. But 33 year-old Vyron Phillips does. Or, at least, did. He stepped into the ring with boxer Roy Jones Jr. with absolutely zero pro or even amateur boxing experience whatsoever. Crazily enough, Phillips was able to get through to the second round before getting knocked out with a left that had him pretty dazed and confused.
It was all for a TV competition which saw organizers select Philips from a pool of 1,500 candidates. He wasn’t a total punk, though. He had MMA experience and knew how to fight. But he was no boxer.
Here’s what happened:
Let’s not remember Jones like this, though. Fighting bums for PR stunts and a quick hit of cash. Let’s remember him as the great fighter he was:

It is very common for the insurance requirements in a construction contract to include a provision requiring the subcontractor to waive all rights against the owner and general contractor for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by the sub’s workers’ compensation and general liability or commercial umbrella liability insurance. Owners and general contractors insist on this provision because they want to protect themselves from being held liable for injuries to a subcontractor’s employee. Typically, the contractor giving the waiver asks its insurance company to attach a “waiver of subrogation endorsement” to its workers’ compensation policy.
The endorsement states that the insurance will company will not enforce its right to recover payments it makes to an injured worker from the person or organization listed on the endorsement. It applies only to the extent that the employer insured by the policy performs work under a written contract requiring the employer to obtain the insurance company’s waiver. It does not directly or indirectly benefit anyone not listed on the endorsement. With this endorsement on the policy, the company cannot attempt to recover payments it made to an injured worker from the company listed on the endorsement, even if that company was responsible for the injury. Consequently, the loss impacts the employer’s experience modification, probably increasing future premiums. In addition, the endorsement carries an additional premium for the employer, normally some percentage of the premium attributable to the job.
The endorsement and the waiver agreement in the contract do not bind the injured employee. He still has the ability to sue the owner and general contractor for his injuries. However, it is also common for construction contracts to require the subcontractor to defend and indemnify the owner and general contractor from any such suits. Therefore, it is probable that the employer will have to pay an additional premium for the endorsement, pay higher future workers’ compensation premiums for the loss, and pay higher future liability insurance premiums because its policy will cover the other parties’ liability.
For example, assume the sub’s employee suffers serious injuries when tools and materials fall off a scaffold and strike him. He collects workers’ compensation benefits for his medical costs and lost wages. The sub’s workers’ compensation policy includes the waiver of subrogation endorsement, so the insurance company cannot recover any of its payments. The worker sues the owner and general contractor for his pain and suffering. However, the contract requires the sub to cover the owner’s and general’s liability, so the sub’s liability insurance pays for the pain and suffering lawsuit. The sub’s insurance pays twice for the same injury to the same worker.
Owners and general contractors require waivers of subrogation for several reasons. Insurance consultants, brokers, and risk managers usually encourage them to require waivers. Waivers protect their liability insurance and reserve it for other claims. Because a waiver reduces potential liability losses, they become more attractive to liability insurance companies and probably pay lower premiums. Also, subcontractors often do not resist these requirements because they feel they lack negotiating leverage and their insurance companies are usually willing to provide the endorsement.
A few states have curbed the use of waivers of subrogation in their workers’ compensation systems. At least four states have passed laws making the requirements unenforceable, and other states allow the employer to recover from the injured employee some of the proceeds of pain and suffering lawsuits.
In the majority of states that allow waivers, contractors should work with professional insurance agents experienced in providing construction insurance. They can suggest insurance companies that will offer the needed coverages at a reasonable cost and assist with contractual issues such as waivers of subrogation. Above all, contractors must read and understand their contracts so that their agreements do not become an ugly surprise after a loss.

iTunes, of course, one of the most powerful media combines, but novice users often face difficulty with some of the situations. Today, we’ll tell you how to add a movie to iTunes and then how to transfer it to iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
The main thing to keep in mind before embarking on this simple manipulation – the film should be strictly in the format .MP4. Video files in other formats, for example, .avi .mkv or can be viewed on iOS-devices with the help of third-party applications, such as AVPlayerHD. Important! Without QuickTime movie that is to be added to the library will not work.
How to Put movie on iTunes :
Step 1: Start iTunes. Select the desired movie format .mp4 and drag it to the section Multimedia
Step 2: Wait until the copy process
Step 3: In that, Movies will be loaded with film. Here you can view detailed information about a file or start watching
If you want to add multiple movies in a single folder, select File -> Add Folder to Library and select the folder with the video files.

Anna Kendrick Interview – Good Morning America 12/09/14
Anna Kendrick sits down in style for an interview on Good Morning America on Tuesday (December 9) in New York City.
The 29-year-old actress opens up about her role as Cinderella in the highly-anticipated film version of Into the Woods and what it was like working with Meryl Streep.
“It feels silly to say she’s great to work with because of course,” Anna says. “After the table read, everybody was just blown away, but no one wanted to be the first person to go, ‘Meryl is so good.’ It’s like, ‘Oxygen is so great.’”

Connor Doyle played another full 90 for D.C. United, and the four time MLS Cup Champions fought hard, but the hometown player and his club fell to FC Dallas, 2-1, as newly named MLS All-Star Fabian Castillo pounced on a loose ball in the box deep into stoppage time.
Doyle, the son of Dallas Sidekicks legend David Doyle, was well supported in the stands and was industrious on the field. The McKinney native has earned his way into being a regular in Ben Olsen’s lineup with solid performances of late, and a big goal to give United the win against Chicago, but like FC Dallas’ last three opponents, D.C. was unable to keep Dallas off the scoreboard.
They did, though, make Dallas earn every chance they got and marginalized most of them. United also found a way to score against the North Texas club, scoring four minutes after Kellyn Acosta opened the scoring for Dallas in the 73rd minute. A smart run into the Dallas penalty area from Jairo Arrieta gave Taylor Kemp a target. After Kemp crossed the ball into the area, Arrieta’s mark, Matt Hedges, put the ball into the net as an own goal.
The game remained tied until D.C. finally succumbed to late pressure from FC Dallas. In the 92nd minute, Mauro Diaz played the ball to Tesho Akindele on the right side of the United area. The Canadian international crossed the ball to Victor Ulloa in the area. Ulloa’s shot was tipped by Kemp, but only enough to be pounced upon by the young Colombian who made no mistake, putting the ball into the roof of the D.C. net.

As a gori mem who enjoys her gigantic icy-cold Kingfishers every day while in India (and “several” glasses of wine every other evening), I do love a good song about the devil’s potion! Inspired by Dusted Off’s post on the same subject, I have changed one of her rules: I’m including fake-pretend drinking because it’s a fascinating (to me anyway) artifact of Hindi movies. If you need to chase someone off, or get them to hate you—pretend to have a drink! (I would be lonely and unwanted indeed!) Of course some would point out that *most* movie drinking is “pretend” unless you are Dharmendra. I am only including songs from movies I’ve seen, where I loved the song and the performance and picturization of it. Liking the film is a plus too, but not strictly necessary.
So without further ado, here they are!
10. “De De Pyar De” from Sharaabi (1984) (sung by Asha, music by Bappi Lahiri). Poor Bappida! I bash him a lot here, but he did write good songs for this film. A drunken Amitabh co-opts a wedding band late at night to help him find his beloved Jaya Prada, who lives somewhere in the neighborhood. Angry neighbors call the police, but when Jaya finally comes out he is so very happy to see her that all is forgiven. Awwww!!!
9. “Maine To Paani Piya Tha” from Keemat (1973) (sung by Asha, music by Laxmikant Pyarelal). Hindi film heroines are not usually allowed to get drunk unless it’s by mistake or at the hands of the villain. Here Rekha accidentally drinks a tumbler full of gin instead of the water she thinks it is, resulting in multiple Rajendranaths and a very cute song. I’m including here since I can’t find it elsewhere.
Rekha is so young and so cute!
8. “Samjho Ho Hi Gaya” from Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006) (sung by Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi and Vinod Rathod, music by Shantanu Moitra). Our favorite pair of criminals get drunk together and Munna tells Circuit how he has wooed Jhanvi that day—with a Kissing Car and some circus lions! I just love the chemistry of these two, and the picturization is so much fun.
7. “Abhi To Haath Mein Jaam Hai” and “Haan Ji Haan Main Ne Sharab Pi Hai” from Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) (sung by Manna Dey and Lata, respectively, music by RD Burman). Okay yes! I’m cheating a bit. I’ve covered “Abhi To Haath Mein” before in my favorite Dharmendra songs post so it doesn’t really count (but it deserves a mention here too), and I adore Hema’s fake-pretend drunk song. She performs this beautifully, looking like she hasn’t a care in the world in her black and white-lace maxi dress and white go-go boots! But at times you can see the pain of her heart breaking written across her face. And Sanjeev Kumar looks just as disapproving as she knew he would!
6. “Sheeshe Se Piya” from Phool Aur Patthar (1966) (sung by Asha, music by Ravi). This is my favorite Shashikala song. I’m not sure that she’s necessarily drunk (although she looks it) but she extols the virtues and blessings of a stiff drink to her former (though she doesn’t know it yet) lover Dharmendra, who has fallen in love with weepy widow Meena Kumari (he’s going to need it).
5. “Piya Tu Ab To Aaja” from Caravan (1972) (sung by Asha and RD Burman, music by RD Burman). Perhaps the most famous drinking song in Hindi cinema, courtesy of the one and only Helen. She’s imbibing heavily at the bar as she waits for her lover to show up. When he does, her alcohol intake doesn’t seem to have inhibited her coordination at all!
You go, girl!
4. “Yeh Meri Zindagi” from Ziddi (1964) (sung by Lata, music by SD Burman). Asha pretends to be drunk in order to leave the path clear for her sister and to save Joy Mukherjee from *gasp* marrying a criminal’s daughter. A wonderful song from a movie that’s filled with them!
3. “Sachaai Chhup Nahin Sakti” from Dushman (1971) (sung by Kishore, music by Laxmikant Pyarelal). Although the song is not about drinking, Rajesh is drunk as he sings it. He’s been drinking steadily as he drove (!) his truck along, and he decides to stop and visit his favorite nautch girl Bindu—whom he then proceeds to taunt about her unfaithfulness. What does he expect? A girl has to make a living! Rajesh has a lot of good drunk songs, but this one is my favorite—he is utterly charming, even in his cups.
2. “Pee Ke Hum Jo Chale” from Gumnaam (1965) (sung by Asha and Usha Mangeshkar, music by Shankar Jaikishan). I can’t believe I can’t find this on the interwebs anywhere! Fabulous song pictured on Nanda and Helen as they get drunk to forget that all their compadres on the island are being murdered one by one, and they might be next! Really really cute song, and the two actresses look like they’re having a blast.
I want to get drunk with Helen!
1. “Jaane Kya Peelaya Tune” from Jugnu (1973) (sung by Lata, music by SD Burman). How I love this song! Hema has mistakenly (of course) had a glass of doctored (by Prem Chopra) Coke meant for Dharmendra and she is completely and cheerfully drunk. He is alternately amused, irritated, and completely enraptured—and who wouldn’t be. He carries her to his car and drives her home, as she climbs all over him and his car. This is the Dream Girl at her dreamiest—and cutest—best, in a movie I love, and with a hero I adore.

Webinars are quite possibly one of the most potent ways you can make an exorbitant amount of money online. You'll need an audience to train and you'll need to know what you're talking about. Of course, this usually requires having a website and some semblance of an online presence. However, people can still do webinars without all of that. For example, you might have a sizable social media following and you train them every week on something to do with social media. But you will need a product to embed and sell at some point. Don't worry about it in the beginning. In my experience, the best webinar platform out there is GoToWebinar.
Free traffic, such as organic search engine visitors, video marketing, or social media/forum traffic, can be a great way to get highly relevant visitors to your website without paying for each visitor. Building a platform that delivers free traffic can be a great long-term affiliate marketing strategy. However, the downsides of free traffic are that it can take a lot of time and effort before you start seeing results, and can be unreliable.
It CAN be worked with the basics but it will take you a long time to get them working using a host sublinked website and just 2 before you have to pay for your domains which one should want to do even for the 1st two so you do not have the long sublink. I wouldn’t buy from a sublink. I would think it is a trap or a “sneaky” website more so than a “trusted” dot com site. That is why it is ALWAYS worth paying the $11.99 or $12.99 for the domain registration, for the MILLIONS of people like me in the computer security field.
Glad to hear it! Absolutely, CPA credentials are still extremely valuable—though it definitely takes a time/education investment in order to secure those credentials. Worth it though? I’d say hell yes, if the field interests you. Even the side income you could make by doing taxes for people just a few months out of the year can be lucrative here in the U.S. at least.
For Pinterest you can just sign up, create an account and can start posting out images along with a link back to your website. One of the cool things about Pinterest is you don’t even need many followers to actually start getting traction. It all relies on how good your images look. You can see some of the images that I’ve posted out from my numerology site have gotten a lot of traction and I don’t even have that many followers on there:
Get samples. When you first start out as a freelance writer, it can be hard to get work without any published samples. However, it is possible to get quality samples if you are willing to do some writing for free. First, you can publish content on your own blog or website. Also, you can write guest posts for someone else’s blog. Finally, you can write blog posts for free in exchange for a byline.
The whole thing was really disorganized and uninformative. Horwitz and Atlan bumbled through a powerpoint (showing us their notes, removing some of the movie magic), and spit out a bunch of typical junk about “don't be a slave to the man”, and “live a life of financial freedom”. Some of these tactics were poor attempts as marketing mind control by telling us to say things to ourselves like “I need to take control of my life!”.
If you have an e-book or online course that you'd like to promote, ClickBank makes that easy. Once you sign up as a vendor you can list your product with them and set the commission percentage you are willing to pay to anyone who chooses to market and promote your product for you. Once your product is listed, other ClickBank users will start promoting it on their own websites. This will drive traffic to the sales page on your website and hopefully result in sales.
There are many ways to get people onto your list. Lead magnets are one such resource. For example, you can build ebooks, checklists and cheat sheets. But you can also do content upgrades, such as PDF versions of an article with added resources in them, four-part video training series, and more. Think about your audience and what you can offer them to better serve them, then treat them with some respect and you'll eventually reap the rewards.
ClickBank represents primarily digital or downloadable products. These typically have high-percentage payouts to affiliates. The commissions average around 50%. You do need to be careful and closely vet all products. There are some great products, some good products, and many crap products. You need to be sure the product and the promotional methods are appropriate for your audience. But ..
Start by taking other courses you’re interested in: Not only is this important competitor and opportunity analysis, but it also gives you an idea of how a course could or should look and feel. What’s the pacing like? Is it via email, video, in-person chats? Once you understand how you want your course to look, it’s time to decide what it should include. Those same courses are a great starting place. How can you make your course better or more interesting? Do you have experience others don’t?
If you decide to stick with Getaround after the 30-day free trial, you’ll pay a one-time fee of $99 for a Connect™ installation and a flat fee of $20 per month. The Connect™ allows renters to locate and unlock your car straight from the app so you don’t have to deal with lost or stolen keys. It also comes with added security features like tamper detection, GPS tracking, and engine lock.
Do you constantly come up with witty one-liners? Do you dream of the days of Mad Men-style advertising? If you’ve got some branding chops or just come up with imaginative copy, there are lots of opportunities to make money online through company naming and slogan contests. If you think you have a knack for names check out the Squadhelp platform where you can earn a little extra money online by naming brands, services, products, company slogans and even help out on the logo design front if you've got the chops.
I was with Wealthy Affiliate for a while. It’s not a bad way to learn, but the curriculum is just super slow! I got up all the way to making a website and such, but they seriously lacked the traffic generating methods to help their affiliates to make money a bit Sooner. THAT was my problem with Wealthy Affiliate. It’s a Good program. But the drawback is the “long-drawn-out way around the barn method” they use without revealing good traffic AND Income generating methods SOONER.
Are you just starting your first online business and not sure whether you want to be a product creator or affiliate? Personally, I prefer being an affiliate. It's not as glamorous as owning your own product, but I think it gets much closer to the idea of passive income. Check out how affiliate marketing creates passive income better than any other type of business.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Most of the software and apps you use on a regular basis are made by massive companies or established development studios. Well, yes. But many successful apps, particularly those in the Apple and Google stores, are created and marketed by individuals and small businesses. In fact, independent developers made $20 billion in the App Store in 2016 alone.
Every year, hundreds of millions of documents are notarized in the United States: wills, mortgages, citizenship forms, handgun applications. While for decades, this has all been done in person, there is a budding crop of sites that allow notaries to take their services online. If you’re already a notary, you can sell your services online. Or, if you want to get started, check out the National Notary’s checklist for becoming a certified notary.
I did nothing wrong for the transfer of my site. I am well educated in the use of these systems. I HAD Kyle email me and say it would be forwarded but it never came to me. He never responded back to me when I told him that. In fact, he never responded to me in the first place. He responded to Enom when they went to him. Support tells you this as a non member (copy and paste.. like just about everything else)
Whether it’s an important consumer application, a specialist app to solve a particular niche problem, or even a time-wasting game you can play on your phone, you can create a massively successful business if you build software that helps people. (Look at the rise of Slack—the team communication software that went from side project to billion-dollar company in just 2 years.)
Join a startup accelerator: Another great option is to apply to a startup accelerator like Y Combinator, 500 startups, or TechStars, where a group of investors will help coach you, connect you with potential partners, and provide startup cash in return for a small stake in your company. The competition is tough to get into these, so don’t rely on them as your only path forward.

The happiness & comfort of our clients is all that matters to us. We work meticulously to ensure our clients have the best experience & service.
In June 2018 my wife and I were part of a wedding party (approximately 50 people) staying in a villa not very far from Country Relais in Tuscany which was catered for by Vera and her husband Dario. That was over a period of about a week for which all the food was provided by them, including the wedding banquet. Not only was the food exceptionally abundant, it included local produce and was exquisitely cooked. I’m sure it was genuine Tuscan food. All the cooking was completely professional – everything arriving at table for 50 odd people hot, in relation to hot dishes, salads and the like were fresh, crisp and not the slightest bit wilted. The desserts were absolutely fantastic and I know were cooked freshly at the villa, and not preprepared. I should know because I spied in the kitchen trying to get a few tips. At the wedding banquet, the dessert was a “thousand layer cake” which had so much creme anglais as to send one into a hypoglycaemic shock just by looking at it! But as an experience in eating, simply stunning. The wedding itself was a perfectly magical experience and the catering by Vera and her husband was an appropriate complement to it. Indeed without it, everything would have been lacking. And to top it off Vera and her husband were a delightful couple for whom nothing seemed too much trouble.
We spent an amazing week at this wonderful villa. Dario, Vera, Fabi and Giancarlo made our stay so memorable. The food was delicious, the house was beautiful, the scenery second to none. We had a very casual wedding ceremony that was made so much better by their attention to details that were never requested. Totally above and beyond. We will be back.
If you are looking for an incredible place to stay in Tuscany with a larger group with incredible views, fantastic hospitality, amazing food and a beautiful home and pool. Then this is your spot. The house is fantastic and is best enjoyed with Dario’s mum doing your meals every night. It was incredible and they worked with us regarding every aspect of our trip. They were amazing and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
Well, sometimes we think the house is the important item, well we had a great stay on a large home that has been redone recently, but the best part was the owner, you could ask anything and they would be pleased to help you, I mean anything, restaurants after they were closed, wine tours, artist to come home and do alabaster sculptures, truffle walks, this was really what made this stay memorable, not only the Tuscany views, the great food or the large home, but also the service we received, it was really outstanding.
We had the most epic stay at this beautiful Tuscan villa. Nestled just outside the charming city of Volterra, La Capanne is the perfect place for larger groups, events and/or weddings.We were celebrating a dual 40th birthday event with 15 adults. All 9 rooms have their own bathroom and the common spaces are amazing! 2 HUGE dining rooms, a comfortable living room, a well-stocked kitchen, outdoor dining space, a beautiful pool, hot tub, a pizza oven, gorgeous grounds and the most amazing view. We even got to hang with 2 local (super-friendly) farm cats who made us feel right at home. The owner/host Dario was lovely to work with while planning our stay. He speaks very good English and returns emails right away. He also runs a catering company so he provided a wonderful welcome dinner and breakfast for us each morning (for a nominal extra charge). His mother Fabi cooked us the best meal we had in Tuscany, nothing like an Italian mother’s home cooking! Dario also had suggestions for local tours and they were just a great as the villa (see my review for Tuscan Tour). He was always available if we needed anything - top notch service all the way. The pricing for this lovely villa was totally reasonable. I searched the internet far and wide before landing at La Capanne, and boy do I feel lucky. Our stay (literally) could not have been any better. Thank you Dario and Fabi for an absolutely amazing time in Tuscany.

Austin Peay State University and the Fort Campbell Army installation deepened their growing relationship Nov. 6 when the two organizations initiated an intergovernmental support agreement that allows Austin Peay faculty and students to identify wetland ecosystems within the 105,000-acre Army post.
During a special ceremony on post, Austin Peay president Alisa White and Col. Jeremy Bell, Fort Campbell garrison commander, signed the historic agreement.
“Thank you for investing some resources from Fort Campbell to Austin Peay State University, and that primary resource is access,” White said. “Wetlands are important. They’re important to the nation, and this is a project we believe in.”
The U.S. government maintains a “no net loss” policy regarding the nation’s wetlands, and more than 1.4 million acres of wetlands are located inside U.S. Army installations.
According to the U.S. Army Environmental Command, “Each year the Army executes projects [mostly construction] that could potentially impact the nation’s rivers, streams, wetlands and other aquatic resources. Compensatory mitigation is necessary to replace aquatic resources lost to authorized and unavoidable impacts to ensure ‘no net loss’ of the nation’s wetlands.”
The Department of Defense has tasked its military installations with identifying the wetlands within a post’s boundaries. Federal regulations previously limited this type of work to a few specific contractors, which often cost the military more money rather than using a local resource. Through this new partnership, Fort Campbell expects to save about $187,000 in a three-year period while also taking advantage of the expertise provided by Austin Peay’s college of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
“What I truly value is the partnership,” Bell said. “To me that’s more important than anything else that we do. Finding those areas where we can cooperate, where we can increase partnerships, is always important to Fort Campbell because we have such a strong connection to our community. That absolutely applies to Austin Peay.”
For Austin Peay, the agreement gives the college of STEM access to a formerly restricted area where faculty and students can perform important field research. Austin Peay’s global information systems office will oversee the project, with biology and center of excellence for field biology students conducting most of the work. Tiffany Carter, assistant professor of agriculture, will also provide soil expertise for the wetland delineation project.
“What’s really critical is this offers our students the opportunity to get real on-the-job experience because they’ll be on the ground, practicing wetland delineation as professionals,” said Steve Hamilton, director of APSU’s Center of Excellence for Field Biology. “They will be on the ground, determining where wetlands are, for the protection of that environment and for safe military training. The students will learn valuable and employable skills.”
The Army post’s leadership is working with Austin Peay’s college of STEM to identify other areas where the two entities can work together. Hamilton said he expects to see more Intergovernmental Support Agreements between the two organizations in the coming months.

There is compelling evidence that the herbs and spices found in many popular dishes can help ward off disease, but do we get enough of these valuable ingredients just by eating food that contains them?
Food scientist Roger A. Clemens says, "Throughout recorded history, spices and herbs have been valued for their curative powers. The use of herbs and spices to treat or prevent [health conditions] is almost universal among non-industrialized societies." But while antioxidants found in oregano, dill, garlic and elsewhere may affect some disease processes, the key drawback for identifying spices' actual influence on health may be in the relatively small amount that?s ordinarily added to food because, as Clemens says, "The classic definition of spice is a substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities for the purpose of flavoring."
How your food is cooked may be as important to your health as the food itself. Researchers now know more about a new class of toxins that might soon become a important a risk factor for heart disease, called advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are absorbed into the body through the consumption of grilled, fried, or broiled animal products, such as meats and cheeses. AGEs, which are also produced when food products are sterilized and pasteurized, have been linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, vascular and kidney disease, and Alzheimer's disease. At the moment, changing one's approaches to cooking is the only defense against excessive AGE consumption.

Maasai Community Village Project in Tanzania
- Placement location: Ngorongoro National Park
- Role: Teaching English, providing additional resources and constructing homes and buildings for the Maasai people
- Accommodation: Communal house
- Price: From
- What’s included? Food, accommodation, transfers to and from our specified airport, transport to and from work where required, insurance, personal webpage, induction and orientation, 24/7 support
- What’s not included? Flights, visa costs, spending money
- Length of placement: From 4 weeks
- Start dates: Flexible
The rich culture and deep routed traditions of the Maasai tribe are well-known in Tanzania. As a volunteer on the Maasai Community Village Project you will gain unique and rare insight into their way of life. If you want to be surrounded by beautiful scenery, be exposed to a completely different culture and work alongside members of this distinct tribe then this is the project for you.
As a volunteer you will be based in the Maasai lands, located in the world famous Ngorongoro National Park in Northern Tanzania. Even though this National Park is a major tourist attraction, you will be working and living in a community that is far removed from the safari route.
Volunteering on the Maasai Community Village Project in Tanzania
Projects Abroad works closely with two neighbouring Maasai communities in the heart of the Ngorongogo National Park. With tough living conditions and limited resources, these communities are keen to have as much help as possible. In recent years the Maasai tribes have realised the importance of education and are encouraging their children to attend school. However, educational facilities and resources are scarce and many children and teachers have to travel miles every day to get to school. Volunteers in this community will play a vital role when it comes to teaching English, providing additional resources and also constructing homes and buildings for the Maasai people.
The Maasai tribe has been able to maintain their traditions and unique culture regardless of the encroaching modern world. As a volunteer you will get involved in some of their day-to-day activities, including looking after the livestock, milking the cows and goats, cooking and learning about how the women make their iconic jewellery. These tribes often battle with the natural elements in order to survive, however, you will find that they are some of the warmest and friendliest people you will meet in Tanzania and will share what little they have with you.
Given the vibrant history of the Maasai tribes - their different traditions and rituals - you will have regular cultural workshops and Maasai language lessons in order to help you integrate and understand these unique people. For this project it is recommended that you have an open mind and respect the Maasai culture.
Projects Abroad also works closely with a Maasai community hospital, where volunteers can work alongside the local doctors and nurses. You can read more about this on the Medicine in Tanzania page.
Volunteers will need to fly into the town of Arusha where you will be met by one of our local staff and taken to the Maasai community where you will be based for the duration of your placement. The community you are working with is a five hours’ drive away from Arusha.
Given the private nature and often poor living conditions of the Maasai tribe, you will be living with other volunteers on the Maasai Community Village Project in a communal house that has basic facilities.
Your working hours will usually be decided on a weekly basis, however most volunteers work from Monday to Friday and have the weekends free.

Interlocking 2' x 2' Foam Tiles used to construct a VEX Robotics Competition field. These tiles are resistant to Electrostatic Charge build-up. 36 Tiles are required for a standard VRC Field. Field perimeter & hardware not included.
Note: NOT compatible with pre-existing foam field tiles (278-1502).
These tiles were specifically designed to prevent Electrostatic Buildup. In our testing, Anti-Static Tiles consistently showed little to no static buildup at all! These tiles are also reversible, essentially doubling their lifetime, and allowing for much quicker field assembly.
It should be noted that these Anti-Static tiles will NOT interlock with pre-existing Foam Tiles (278-1502), but otherwise are practically identical. They are functionally equivalent, and any minor differences that do exist (color, thickness, Coefficient of Friction, etc.) are extremely negligible, and should not impact robot-field interaction.
You can backorder these, however there will be an approximate 3-5week lead time. Please contact us on email@example.com if these are urgent.

The Impossible Foods burger will make its debut today at Vina Enoteca, the first Silicon Valley restaurant to serve the scientifically engineered veggie burgers.

Impossible Foods announced Wednesday that Vina Enoteca is among three new restaurants who will now serve the popular meatless burger. The other two are in San Francisco and Oakland, where the company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday for its first large-scale manufacturing site.
The facility promises a significant increase of production. When "fully ramped up," a press release states, the facility will be able to produce 1 million pounds of the Impossible Foods burgers per month — enough to supply 1,000 restaurants, compared to the 11 eateries that currently serve the burger.
Impossible Foods, which was started by a Stanford University biologist in 2011, makes its burgers from water, wheat, coconut oil, potato protein and heme protein, which makes blood red and mimics the "bleeding" of a juicy, perfectly medium rare beef burger. Glycogen, a carbohydrate; konjac, also known as Japanese yam; and xanthan gum are added to help hold the ground beef together. (Read more about the science behind the burger here.)

The goal is to not only make a veggie burger that tastes good, but one that is environmentally sustainable and ultimately will change the way we consume meat. Impossible Foods says its burger uses 75 percent less water and generates 87 percent fewer greenhouse gases than conventional ground beef from cows. It also has no hormones, antibiotics, cholesterol or artificial flavors and requires 95 percent less land to make than ground beef, according to the company. (The burger does, however, reportedly have high levels of saturated fat given the coconut oil.)
Each restaurant gets to develop its own spin on the Impossible burger. At Vina Enoteca, an Italian restaurant that opened on Welch Road in the Stanford Barn in November, it's served with sun-dried tomatoes, cavolo nero (or lacinato kale) and a sun-dried tomatoes mayonnaise on a poppy seed bun. It will be available as a slider at the restaurant's bar, Monday through Saturday from 5-9 p.m.
Owner Rocco Scordella called the Impossible Foods burger a "revolutionary product."
"We decided to work with Impossible Foods because I strongly believe in their mission and I love their product," he wrote in an email. "I believe this to be the future of food — (a) delicious plant-based burger that is good for the environment."
An Impossible Foods spokesperson said the company chose Vina Enoteca for the quality of its food and location (in that order).
"We were definitely looking for a place in the region where our investors, vendors, business partners, job recruits and other local supporters could go to try the Impossible Burger 'in the wild' — and we wanted to be in a place with total culinary credibility, lots of foot traffic and a diverse clientele," the spokesperson wrote in an email.
In the future, Impossible Foods hopes to serve its burger in a range of restaurants, from high-end to diners and takeout eateries. Eventually, the company also wants to sell it in retail stores.

Maybe so, but he didn't leave that word in a language that I can read.

Be A Little Less Put Together With Sundressed At The Dirty 30, Jam With S-Ankh Rasa At Deep Ellum Art Company And Drink And Learn About Mezcal At Las Almas Rotas.
We are officially out of the holiday period — well, we have been for a few days now. Still, if you did some traveling in the past couple of weeks, you know it can be a bit stressful at times.
For one man in Spain, however, waiting on the tarmac ate up all his patience. After his plane landed in Malaga, on the southern coast of Spain, a full 30 minutes passed and the passengers had deboarded the plane. This man decided that enough was enough.
He popped open the emergency exit and jumped on the plane’s wing, attempting to make his way down. Of course, that didn’t sit well with authorities, who promptly removed the man from the plane. Still, the other passengers were kept on board for another 15 minutes.
If you’re feeling like that man today while you’re at work, itching to get out to one of the events listed below, we feel you. But get through your day first and then head out to one of these happenings.
Sundressed at The Dirty 30
The Arizona band stops in town to take the stage at The Dirty 30 with its brand of pop rock that is reminiscent of bands like New Found Glory and Jimmy Eat World if they took a slightly more indie and emo route with their jams. The band’s 2017 debut album A Little Less Put Together is one that easily could be confused for early 2000s pop-punk rock. Sad Cops, Better Now, Rain Check, Doggo, Sylvania Ave also perform.
The Greatest Showman at Alamo Drafthouse Cedars
Theater Jones and the AT&T Performing Arts Center are presenting this screening of The Greatest Showman, a tale inspired by P.T. Barnum’s inception and eventual creation of “The Greatest Show On Earth.”
S-Ankh Rasa, Hocus Pocus at Deep Ellum Art Company
Louisiana’s own S-Ankh Rasa learned jazz from the likes of Marvin Gaye, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles and Joe Henderson. This is about as purely jazz as it gets, so expect a fantastic show.
The Big Movie: Dark Passage at Magnolia Theatre
Humphrey Bogart playing an escaped convict who was wrongfully convicted of his wife’s murder but escapes, gets a new face and then sets out to find the real killer? Sign us up.
The Anatomy of Mezcal at Las Almas Rotas
If you’ve been itching to learn more about mezcal, here’s your chance — and a golden one at that. Last Almas Rotas will host Dr. Iván Saldaña Oyarzábal, a biochemist, agave expert and creator of Montelobos Mezcal. Proceeds from copies of Oyarzábal’s book, The Anatomy of Mezcal, that are sold will go to charity. Event kicks off at 5 p.m.
The 4-Alarm Mini Mall Fundraiser at Dan’s Silverleaf
This night of stand-up comedy will feature the likes of Josh Johnson, Wes Cowin, Monna and many more. Funds raised will go toward helping those residents living on the Denton Square who were affected by the Mini Mall Fire on December 26.
To find out what else is going on today, this week and beyond, check out our event directory.
