How shall I describe the month of November without exagerating?As I was leaving my Berlin appartment, equipped with a rather heavy suitcase and a lot of good will a phone call came asking ‘ would you like to replace someone? There has been a cancellation for 2 performances of Tchaikovsky’s 1st Concerto in Regensburg in Germany. I said ‘ Sure’ , quickly stuffed the concerto score into my suitcase and flew to Madrid for a performance of Brahms 1 at the Auditorio Nacional ( a really beautiful hall!!!) .
A few days later , as I was already performing the closing concert of the Kasseler Musiktage in Germany (also performing Brahms this time with the Staatskapelle Weimar and Stefan Solyom) I realized that substituting in Regensburg would actually mean the following : I needed to first go to Boston and perform Brahms 1 for 3 times with the Boston Philharmonic; fly back to Europe the day following the performances and upon landing in Frankfurt go to Regensburg and rehearse Tchaikovsky that same evening.And that only to leave the next day to Granada in Spain ,rehearse ‘Nights in the Gardens of Spain’ with the orchestra there,perform it twice, and the morning after the last Granada performance get up at 5, go to the airport with the idea to arrive to Regensburg at 18.30 (after an insane taxi ride, 2 flights, one train and one more insane taxi ride) to perform Tchaikovsky 1 at 20.30 with a short ‘warm up rehearsal’( candidly called ‘Einspielprobe’ in German).
I couldn’t resist. So I did it.
Of course, I was tired after the performances . But, all the performances went well, the reviews were very good, the audience reactions as well – it was an adventure and I would have been so sorry to miss it !!!

3D content and Europeana
Online, easily accessible 3D cultural heritage content is still less abundant than other media formats. Relatively little 3D content is currently accessible through Europeana. The aim of the 3D task force was to change this. We began by surveying the scene. Our first step was to carry out a review of the means that are currently available for accessing and sharing 3D content online. Next, we reviewed the current state-of-play amongst both Europeana data partners and more broadly in the cultural heritage sector.
We found that there is a good deal of interest in 3D but considerable variation in knowledge and experience. One of the challenges is that 3D is suitable for a wide range of different applications (from buildings and museum objects to works of art and gaming applications) for different audiences and a mixture of technical and audience factors need to be taken into consideration. The survey of Europeana data partners shows that there’s a definite need for training in this field.
Adapting to a changing landscape
The 3D landscape is continuously evolving. More than 50 different file formats are currently in use for cultural heritage content. Amongst these, some are no longer current or not fully supported by their developers. The small group of international standard and de facto industry standard formats are the most relevant for Europeana and cultural heritage institutions. These formats are more suitable for archiving and are also easier to make accessible online.
Formats are not the end of the story when it comes to making 3D content accessible online. Technical considerations about the hardware, processing power and software available to different audiences are important when deciding how to provide access to 3D content. Direct access to a downloadable file may not be the best solution. Visualising the content in a viewer or via an online service can offer end users a more satisfying experience.
Currently there are a small number of service providers offering hosting and visualisation services for 3D. Sketchfab has a reasonably large community of users and offers access to content via an embeddable viewer which is supported in Europeana Collections. Identifying similar hosting solutions and viewing software which large communities of use, and exploring ways of integrating these in Europeana Collections is a logical next step.
The 3D task force built a network of contacts among 3D specialists, projects and initiatives working in this area. Our task force made a number of recommendations for Europeana in our report. One of the most important is a recommendation for this community to continue working collaboratively to improve standardisation, description, accessibility and interoperability of 3D content.
This is a brief summary of the work carried out by the 3D task force, and my impressions of areas where changes are coming. During 2020 I hope that we will begin to see new 3D content being made available to Europeana’s users and new initiatives sharing and exchanging knowledge about this exciting technology.

French department store operator Galeries Lafayette (Paris) has opened a new store on the iconic Champs-Élysées in Paris that is quite unlike its Boulevard Haussmann flagship that’s a little more than a mile away.
The new store trades from 70,000 square feet and five floors (a fraction of the nearby behemoth which has a selling area of nearly 786,000 square feet) and is in an art deco style building. Once owned by the retailer’s founder until 1929, the financial crash forced its sale.
Shoppers heading into the store have an experience from the moment they cross the threshold. BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group; Copenhagen and New York), which designed the interior, has fashioned a wholly back-lit square tunnel given form by intersecting geometric black lines. It’s a little like entering a portal, the kind found in low budget sci-fi movies, but in this instance, it takes the shopper, perhaps, into another dimension.
Inside, it’s the architecture that dominates with a marble atrium affording views of all floors and taking the gaze towards the ceiling where four large glass cubes are suspended over the void.
This store has no external windows and so, according to Alexandra Van Weddingen, Director of Corporate Communications, Galeries Lafayette, these are “internal windows,” devices to focus the eye on the store’s upper levels. They also act as showcases for the heady mix of contemporary brands that set the store apart from its big sister, and have helped in the business of getting luxury names to agree to have their offers displayed on the higher floors.
All is organized around the atrium and whichever floor the shopper chooses to inspect will lead inevitably to a balustrade creating the perfect spot for dwelling and people watching. The fixturing is highly contemporary and, among other things, tech has been deployed in the shape of garment hangers that inform a shopper whether a desired color and size is available in the stockroom.
And, this is Paris, so the atrium comes equipped with a 2-D Eiffel Tower that extends from floor to ceiling and against which mannequins are positioned.
The basement is the only enclosed area and is home to a casual dining restaurant. This is “The Food Court,” although it is very different from the mall food court with which most readers will be familiar.
In total, this is a store for young, affluent, contemporary shoppers, and it does a job that no other in the City of Light does currently. Bon chance!

Baritone Frank Sinatra was indisputably the 20th century's greatest singer of popular song. Though influenced by Bing Crosby's crooning, and by learning from trombonist Tommy Dorsey's breath control and blues singer Billie Holiday's rhythmic swing, Frank Sinatra mainstreamed the concept of singing colloquially, treating lyrics as personal statements and handling melodies with the ease of a jazz improviser. His best work is standards —Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, and the Gershwins —but Sinatra, despite his 1957 denunciation of rock & roll as degenerate, has recorded songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder, George Harrison, Jimmy Webb, and Billy Joel. Not only did his freely interpretive approach pave the way for the idiosyncrasies of rock singing, but with his character a mix of tough-guy cool and romantic vulnerability, he became the first true pop idol, a superstar who through his music established a persona audiences found compelling and true.
Sinatra, an only child of a family with Sicilian roots, grew up in Hoboken, and sang in the glee club of Demarest High School. His break came in 1937, when he and three instrumentalists, billed as the Hoboken Four, won on the Major Bowes Original Amateur Hour. After some touring, the group disbanded.Harry James signed Sinatra to sing with his orchestra, and on July 13, 1939, two weeks after his debut as a big-band vocalist at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore, Sinatra cut his first disc, "From the Bottom of My Heart," with the orchestra. Of the 10 sides he recorded with them, the biggest seller, "All or Nothing at All," sold just over 8,000 copies upon release. In 1943 it was rereleased and became the first of Sinatra's many million-sellers, hitting #2 on the chart.
In 1940 Tommy Dorsey's lead singer, Jack Leonard, quit and Sinatra began a two-year stay with the trombonist. During those years, the band consistently hit the Top 10 (15 entries in 1940–41, including their first, the #1 hit "I'll Never Smile Again"). His radio work with Dorsey was the springboard for Sinatra's solo career. During the war years, Sinatra, married at the time to his childhood sweetheart, Nancy, sang love songs to his mostly female audiences, notably on Lucky Strike's Hit Parade and at New York's original Paramount Theatre. Between 1943 and 1946 he had 17 Top 10 chart singles, and earned the sobriquets "The Voice" and "The Sultan of Swoon." With the GIs back in the U.S., public taste shifted away from these songs, and Sinatra's popularity waned. At Columbia, producer Mitch Miller burdened Sinatra with novelty songs (washboard accompaniment on one, barking dogs on another), and his sales slipped to an average of 30,000 per record. In the early '50s, he was dropped by Columbia and by his talent agent and lost his MGM motion picture contract. To regain his popularity, he begged to be cast as Maggio in the film From Here to Eternity. His first nonsinging role, it won him a 1953 Oscar and a return to the limelight. (His film debut had been with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in 1941's Las Vegas Nights.)
The fledgling Capitol Records signed him in 1953 and, with ex-Dorsey trombonist and arranger Nelson Riddle, Sinatra moved into the next phase of his recording career with a new emphasis: saloon ballads and sophisticated swing tunes. With Capitol, he concentrated on albums, although he again charted in the singles Top 10, notably with "Young at Heart" (#2, 1954), "Learnin' the Blues" (#1, 1955), "Hey! Jealous Lover" (#3, 1956), "All the Way" (#2, 1957), and "Witchcraft" (#6, 1958). His best albums of the period were arranged by Riddle, Billy May, or Gordon Jenkins.
Through the early '50s, during which he was married to film actress Ava Gardner, having left Nancy in 1950, Sinatra became a movie star. He won especially high praise for his portrayal of a drug addict in The Man With the Golden Arm (1955). Beginning in 1959, two years after he divorced Gardner, his singles failed to hit the Top 30, and in 1961 Sinatra left Capitol to establish his own company, Reprise. (In 1963 he sold Reprise to Warner Bros. and became a vice president and consultant of Warner Bros. Picture Corp.)
Sinatra decided to try again to become a Top 40 singles artist. "The Second Time Around" hit #50 in 1961; subsequent releases charted lower. But in the mid-'60s he recouped. He was the triumphant headliner of the final evening of the 1965 Newport Jazz Festival in a 20-song set accompanied by Count Basie's orchestra, conducted by Quincy Jones. His 1965 Thanksgiving TV special, Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, a review of his 25-year career, won an Emmy and set the precedent for numerous other TV specials, including one each in the next four years. That year he also picked up a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1966–67 he charted three of his biggest Top 10 hits: "Strangers in the Night" (#1, 1966), "That's Life" (#4, 1966), and a duet with daughter Nancy, "Somethin' Stupid" (#1, 1967).
In the 1960s he made his Las Vegas debut at the Sands and continued for years as a main attraction at Caesars Palace. Leader of the notorious "Rat Pack," including Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, he came to epitomize the hard-drinking, blonde-chasing swinger; a stout Democrat who'd named his son after Franklin D. Roosevelt, he also strongly supported John F. Kennedy's presidential bid. Married from 1966 to 1968 to actress Mia Farrow, he began reconciling with youth culture, covering songs, with indifferent success, by younger writers. In 1968 he recorded "My Way," a French song to which Paul Anka wrote new English lyrics. A modest U.S. hit (#27), it was an overwhelming smash in the U.K., staying in the Top 50 an unprecedented 122 weeks. (Sex Pistol Sid Vicious later recorded a sarcastic version.)
In 1970 Sinatra announced his retirement and was honored with a gala farewell on June 13, 1971, at the L.A. Music Center. He reversed that decision in 1973 with the release of Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back (#13), a TV special of the same name, and a performance at the Nixon White House (over the years, Sinatra's politics had become markedly conservative; in 1985, he would produce Ronald Reagan's inaugural gala). In 1974 he mounted an eight-city, 13-date sold-out U.S. tour and performed in Japan and Australia. In Australia he aggravated the paparazzi with his antijournalist harangues: Through the years he referred to the males as parasites, and the females as everything from "a buck-and-a-half hooker" to "two-dollar broads." Married to Zeppo Marx's widow, Barbara, in 1976, however, he appeared to mellow somewhat. In the mid-'70s Sinatra's career slowed down, but in mid-1980, after a five-year recording hiatus, he released Trilogy (#17),which included a version of "Theme From New York, New York" (#32) that the city fervently adopted.
In the 1980s Sinatra continued to perform sold-out concerts in major halls, to star in movies and TV specials, and to spark controversy for his business and political associations. (His 1972 appearances before the House Select Committee on Crime investigating criminal infiltration into horse racing were front-page news.) With 1981's She Shot Me Down (#52) and 1984's L.A. Is My Lady (#58) he appeared to have ended his recording career. In 1985, he was accorded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.
In 1993, however, he enjoyed a renaissance with Duets debuting at #2. Featuring top singers —among them Aretha Franklin, Bono, Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli, and Luther Vandross (some recording their parts via telephone) —it gained Sinatra new young fans. Still touring, with the aid of TelePrompTers, at 78, he collapsed onstage in Virginia in 1994 but soon recovered; days earlier, when presented with a special "Legend" award at the Grammy Awards ceremony —with an over-the-top intro by Bono —he had waxed so emotional that his own handlers requested that television cameras cut away from his acceptance speech. Rumors abounded about Sinatra's health, but he insisted on resuming his tour. By year's end, the sequel Duets II was issued, featuring Chrissie Hynde, Linda Ronstadt, and Willie Nelson, among others.
A 1983 honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors, Sinatra was involved for many years in charitable work, particularly in fundraising for multiple sclerosis, chronically ill children, and awareness of child abuse.
Frank Sinatra died of a heart attack on May 14, 1998, in L.A. That year, his FBI dossier, 1,275 pages covering 50 years of surveillance, was released. The document revealed no shocking secrets.

By Michael A. Smith, MDWe Americans take our freedom seriously. We don’t like it when people, groups or even nations attempt to take our freedom from us — especially our freedom of speech.
But today the problem seems to be our own government. Federal agencies like the FTC and the FDA are making it increasingly difficult to share scientific information promoting the safe and effective use of supplements.
This attempt to limit our freedom of speech is a direct insult to all Americans. Limiting what legitimate scientists and doctors would like to say about supplements creates an information gap that is both wrong and dangerous.
Let us ask you this: Have you ever wondered why some people continue to take dangerous drugs required to carry black labels warning of deadly side effects? Because they don’t know what else they can take. Why? Because the FTC and FDA spend a lot of tax payer money limiting discussion of potential alternative treatments.
Now, it’s true that we can write protocols highlighting the treatment effects of nutrients. We can tell you that olive leaf extract lowers blood pressure. But when it comes time to purchase the product, all we can say is it will help maintain healthy blood pressure. The consumer says, “But my blood pressure is high. This won’t help me. I guess I’ll just keep taking my prescription medication and deal with the side effects.”
Sad, but true.
Federal Court Judge AgreesHere’s an example of what we are talking about. The FDA is getting in the way of effective communication between the supplement companies and their customers. A federal judge recently ruled the FDA violated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution when it tried to censor a health claim about the anti-cancer effects of a dietary supplement.
In this case, a company selling green tea leaves wanted to state on its product’s label that “green tea may prevent prostate and breast cancer.” The FDA insisted that the following statement be included:
“The FDA does not agree that green tea may reduce the risk because there is very little scientific evidence for the claim.”1
A U.S. District Court ruled that by forcing the company to put this negative statement on its label, the FDA effectively negated the company’s ability to communicate this health information. The average person would read the negative disclaimer and basically opt out of purchasing what could be a lifesaving supplement for them.
Was the FDA correct in making this negative disclaimer? Absolutely not! When reviewing green tea studies and cancer, they overlooked one very important study.
Well-designed and tightly controlled, this study was completed in men with pre-malignant prostate disease. They were given either 600 mg/day of green tea extract or a placebo. Compared to those who received the placebo, men with the pre-malignant condition who received the green tea extract were less likely to develop prostate cancer.2
Free Speech about Science ActWe need your help. We want to freely share scientific information with you. We want our freedom of speech to be protected and absent of government interference. How can this become a reality? The Free Speech about Science Act, that’s how.
Our own Bill Faloon wrote, “The number of Americans needlessly dying because of FDA censorship is staggering! The federal court ruling against the FDA as it relates to green tea and cancer prevention is a battle victory, but the war against governmental censorship continues.”3
The Free Speech about Science Act is labeled HR1364. If this bill passes in the U.S. Congress, it has the potential to transform the health care field by allowing the public to be educated about the science behind natural health. Please send the letter below to your representatives. You can just send it as is or use it as a template to write your own:
To the Honorable ________________:
FDA regulations prohibit reference to a scientific study by producers of food relating to the health benefits. Violation of this ban can result in the FDA declaring common food to be unapproved drugs — this is censorship!
The Free Speech about Science Act provides a limited and carefully targeted change to FDA regulations so that legitimate, peer-reviewed scientific studies can be referenced by manufacturers and producers without converting a healthy food into an unapproved drug.
The bill amends the appropriate sections of current law to allow the flow of legitimate scientific and educational information while still giving the FDA and FTC the right to take action against misleading information and against false and unsubstantiated claims.
The Free Speech about Science Act ensures the free flow of legitimate scientific research for consumers to make informed decisions based on all scientific information — not just on limited pieces endorsed by the government.
I ask that you co-sponsor HR1364, the Free Speech about Science Act.

When you use a projector, you invariably encounter one problem – the projector has to be placed far away from your sound system (unless you got the now-still-very-costly short throw projector, which may come bundled with the sound system even).
Two ways to solve the problem – either you run a long HDMI/audio cable between the projector and the sound system, or, you transmit the audio signal wirelessly. These days, it is actually quite cheap to do the latter, by using Bluetooth wireless transmission.
Well, i got hold of a Bluetooth transceiver and another Bluetooth receiver. The pair cost only a total of 51.6 Yuan (S$10.3). Due to the built-in battery in the Bluetooth transceiver, it had to be shipped under sensitive shipping category, which cost almost as much as the items themselves. Oh well, they’re still very cheap for what they are.
They just work out of the box even though they are from different manufacturers. Upon powering up, the transmitter searches and pairs with any Bluetooth receiver it can find. It does so by using the default pass code “0000” (this is FYI and you don’t have to worry about this part). Sound clarity met my expectations, and there was no audible lag.
In the featured photo at the top, you can see my Chromecast plugged into the projector, and the audio output from the projector plugged into the Bluetooth transmitter, which then sends the audio signal to the Bluetooth receiver, which is plugged into my sound system.
For this price, you couldn’t ask for more.
Update: when your room is crowded (many mobile phones transmitting Wifi), the signal gets disrupted and the sound may be intermittent at times.

As part of my new year's resolutions to use what I have and keep simple, I decided to clean out my (new!) purse. After I was all done, I realized that I had nothing to hold all the random pens that were sitting on the bottom of my bag. I dug through my yarn stash to find some cute colors and - using what I already had! - whipped up a little pen case, which is also doubling as a checkbook holder.
I used Vanna's Choice in Linen and, uuuhh -- Pea Green, I believe! I used an H hook and didn't have a pattern - I just kind of made it up as I went.
All I did was chain with color A as wide as I wanted the case to be. After that, my pattern was just HDC, ch1, skip a stitch, and repeat. The next row had the HDCs in the ch1 space of the row before. I did that the entire way, two rows of each color, and then added a little scallop at the end. I just did 5 DCs in every other stitch of the last row. Sewed up the sides, poorly added a snap to the cover, and I was done!

The Jungle Book worked perfectly as an animated movie. Released in 1967, the Disney classic captured the spirit and imagination of what animation has to offer, giving personalities and human emotion to a motley crew of jungle animals. So hearing that a live-action remake was on the way kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. And after seeing the first trailer for the upcoming remake, I’m not so sure how I feel about it.
On the one hand, director Jon Favreau has created a beautifully dark and moody world for these creatures to roam in. On the other hand, I’m not so sure this will be quite the home run Disney hopes. Granted, I’m judging the film based on one trailer, and the fight between Bagheera and Shere Khan really does look thrilling. But it’s hard to imagine any other version of The Jungle Book other than the 1967 classic.
That said, Disney is certainly going all out to ensure people are drawn to the theater when this hits on April 15, 2016. You have Idris elba as Shere Khan, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Christopher Walken as King Louie, Lupita Nyong’o as Raksha and even Bill Murray as Baloo. I can already picture Murray’s Baloo singing “Bear Necessities,” and we actually get the slightest of teases in the trailer’s closing shot.
I’m cautiously optimistic. Disney has a ton of live-action remakes on the way, so the pressure is on The Jungle Book to make a favorable first impression. If you haven’t seen The Jungle Book yet, I would highly recommend it. If not, the point of next year’s version is obviously to introduce new audiences to The Jungle Book universe.

Cost and Risk
Franchising works best in industries in which outlets are neither very expensive nor very risky for people to operate. In fact, research has shown that, in industries in which outlets are larger in terms of employment, sales, or physical space, firms tend to franchise less than firms in industries in which outlets are smaller. For instance, in industries in which the cost of establishing a single outlet is in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars (industries such as retail appliance sales), franchising is relatively uncommon. Not only is there a small pool of potential franchisees with enough money to purchase franchises in such industries, but the very high investment also leads franchisees to underinvest in the development of the outlet. This problem of underinvestment is discussed in more detail in Chapter 3, "The Disadvantages of Franchising," but let's suffice it to say here that individual franchisees who make large investments are undiversified and, thus, are more risk averse than corporations that have raised money for all of their outlets simultaneously. This lack of diversification leads them to see a given investment as more risky than diversified investors see it and keeps them from making the investments that diversified investors would make.
For similar reasons, franchising works poorly in industries with a high level of risk resulting from factors outside the franchisee's control, such as variation in the general economic environment. For example, franchising doesn't work very well in the mortgage brokerage business because performance at refinancing homes depends a lot on interest rates on mortgages, which franchisees cannot control.
Franchising works poorly in these types of industries because high levels of environmental risk make franchises difficult to sell. A franchisee makes an investment in buying an outlet to earn financial return on that investment. The performance of the franchisee's investment is affected by both the person's own performance and the effect of factors beyond the franchisee's control, such as the condition of the economy. Diversification is the main mechanism that investors have to deal with the effect of factors beyond their control. Because the investments of franchisees are undiversifiedthey generally buy into only one franchise system at a timethey tend to be unwilling or unable to bear the risk of things beyond their own control. As a result, they tend not to buy franchises in industries in which this type of risk is very high. Diversified corporations are more able to bear this type of risk, so we see company-owned operations in industries with high levels of general economic risk.

Big changes afoot here at Damned Scribbling Women, born of our rediscovered writing mojo. We're back, we're busy, and we're ready to tackle this business like never before.
So, to begin, a word about the shiny new names you see to the left of this post under "Meet the Scribbling Women." Kate D. is now the dazzling Kate Diamond, while theflitgirl has unveiled herself as Anneliese Kelly. We're tying the blog to our individual writing projects, so blogging under our writing names is a natural fit.
Yes, I said "writing names", not "names." Kate and I have followed in the footsteps of luminaries like Lemony Snicket, George Eliot, and all three of the Bronte sisters (Acton, Ellis and Currer Bell) in adopting pseudonyms, rather than publishing under our everyday names.
The decision to use a pseudonym of course brings up a host of conflicts and questions. It's fairly common in the romance industry, although increasingly less so. Writing under a name like Lulubelle von Flurryfeathers does feed into the stereotypes about this genre: frivolous, ridiculous, outdated, over-feminine. It also smacks of "hiding" behind a false name out of shame or embarrassment.
So why have two modern, unabashed women like us decided to go this route. For starters, both Kate and I are involved in education and literary studies. While we feel that writing romance only adds to our credentials as proud feminists, not all our current and potential bosses/teachers and coworkers/fellow students will agree. Additionally, the parents of the little darlings we instruct may not want to associate Junior's English teacher with lusty Regency dukes or shag sessions in lakeside cabins.
For me, however, there's another factor: my life-long love of names. Since I was a child I've poured over baby name books and as an adult must confess to an addiction to baby name messageboards. When else will I have the opportunity to name myself? My new name comes from my family history (my mother's maiden name) and from several of my favorite, most life-changing novels. Plus, it's pretty!
We'd love to hear from other readers and writers. What do you think about noms de plume? Would you/ Do you use one? Why are they more common in romance than any other genre, even mystery fiction?
Finally...what do you think of ours??

Japan. Home of barely edible raw fish, ninjas and self destructing middle aged hag-wagons Hyundai. But it is Japan's world beating advances in technology that first bought them to the attention of the civilised world. Japanese manufacturing slave house 'Tekapiso' have unveiled the world's smallest television at today's 'International Electrogeek Fair' in much loved target city Hiroshima.
The tiny TV measures only 0.4cm across with a screen that is almost invisible to the human eye. Mr Lung Ko Laps, Chief smaller-maker at the company, is hailed as having started the 'next generation' of must-have, will-lose, must-replace technology.
Zero to infinity amount of units are expected to be sold ahead of what the Japanese call 'Christmas'. We asked a panel of cushy-jobbed moaners at consumer advice magazine 'Which?' what was so revolutionary about the device and would it be a hit:
- 'The TV is great. I can barely see Jimmy Carr's smug quipping little face'
'A fly stole mine, may I have a replacement?'
'My wife told me small is better, I'm not so sure'
'People who live inside a Kinder Egg are sure to benefit from this space saving steaming pile of kit'
The television will go head to head this Festive season against Graham Norton's branded range of homosexual worktools to be the most disappointing Boxing Day ebay resale.
Other people, like you and me and everyone else, will have to wait and see how this contest pans out.

In today’s fast-paced world, eating has often become a mindless activity for many people. We rush through meals, distracted by screens and thoughts, without truly savoring the experience. Mindful eating is a simple but powerful practice that aims to change this by bringing our full attention to the present moment during meals. By being aware of the sensations, thoughts, and emotions that arise while eating, we can make better food choices and improve our overall well-being.
We will explore how mindful eating can enhance our food choices and positively impact our relationship with food. Keep reading the piece below.
1 – Presence and awareness
Mindful eating is a practice that invites us to slow down and be fully present during meals. In our fast-paced lives, we often eat on autopilot, rushing between meals, multitasking, or distracted by external stimuli. This futility can lead to overeating and poor food choices because we are disconnected from our body’s true signals of hunger and satiety. However, with mindful eating, we learn to observe our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations while eating. By doing this, we gain a deeper understanding of our relationship with food and how it affects us on a holistic level. Increased awareness during meals allows us to distinguish true physical hunger from mental hunger caused by stress, boredom or other non-physical triggers.
Emotional eating often leads to the consumption of unhealthy comfort foods that may provide temporary relief but do not satisfy emotional needs. Mindful eating helps us recognize these patterns and find alternative ways to deal with emotions, which promotes a healthier relationship with food. In addition, paying attention to eating habits can reveal unconscious behaviors such as mindless eating or eating out of habit instead of true hunger.
As we become more aware of these tendencies, we can challenge and change them, promoting a more balanced and intentional approach to nourishing our bodies. Ultimately, increasing awareness through mindful eating allows us to make informed choices that support our overall well-being and lead to a more harmonious relationship with food.
2 – Thoughtful food selection
Conscious eating encourages a thoughtful and conscious approach to food choice. Rather than simply reaching for what’s available or giving in to impulsive cravings, this practice encourages us to think about the long-term effects of our food choices on our health and well-being. By considering the nutritional value of different foods, we can make informed decisions that align with our personal health goals. This means choosing foods that are packed with essential nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats. These nutritional choices provide our bodies with vitamins, minerals, fiber and other elements necessary for optimal functioning.
You are able to consider even the unnoticeable and invisible details when you eat, such as the pizza flour used on the pizzas served on the table or the milk content that makes up your smoothie.
Mindful eating prevents you from eating highly processed and unhealthy options. By knowing the ingredients and processing methods of different foods, we can identify those that can harm our health. Processed foods are often high in refined sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives that can contribute to a variety of health problems, including obesity, cardiovascular problems, and inflammation. By reducing our consumption of such foods, we open the way to a more nutritious and balanced diet, which can lead to better energy levels, better digestion and overall well-being. Being mindful of our food choices allows us to take responsibility for our food consumption and make choices that promote healthier and happier lives.
3 – Fully enjoying the flavors
At the heart of mindful eating lies the celebration of food enjoyment. It encourages us to break free from the rush and distractions that often accompany our meals, inviting us to slow down and immerse ourselves in the sensory delight of eating. By savoring each bite, we can fully appreciate the intricate flavors, textures, and aromas of the food before us. This heightened awareness not only deepens our connection with the culinary experience but also amplifies the satisfaction derived from our meals. Even with smaller portions, the act of savoring can make us feel more fulfilled and content, as we become attuned to the subtle pleasures that every morsel offers.
In a world where fast food and quick bites have become the norm, mindful eating offers a refreshing and enriching approach to our relationship with food. By savoring our meals, we elevate the act of eating from a mere necessity to a mindful and pleasurable experience. This mindful appreciation of food not only enhances our overall satisfaction with meals but also helps us develop a healthier attitude towards eating. While we become more attuned to the intricacies of taste and texture, we may find ourselves drawn to more nutritious and wholesome food options, aligning our choices with our desire for both gratification and well-being.
4 – Destroying shackles of eating patterns
Mindful eating serves as a powerful disruptor of automatic and unconscious eating patterns that may have developed over time. It gently nudges us away from the robotic act of consuming food without a second thought and encourages us to reclaim our eating experiences with intentionality and mindfulness.
By breaking free from the shackles of routine or emotional triggers, we create a space to pause and truly assess our body’s hunger signals and the nourishment it requires. This moment of reflection allows us to be fully present in the act of eating, bringing a sense of awareness to the choices we make, and fostering a deeper connection with the foods that sustain us.
5 – Involving the human senses
Mindful eating invites us to partake in a delightful and multisensory journey during our meals. It encourages us to go beyond the mere act of consuming food and instead fully immerse ourselves in the sensory experience that each bite offers. As we embark on this sensory adventure, we engage not only our taste buds but also our eyes, nose, and even ears. The visual appeal of a beautifully presented dish can stimulate our appetite and ignite our anticipation for the upcoming flavors. The aroma of freshly prepared food wafting through the air entices us, building our excitement for the culinary delights that lie ahead. With each bite, we relish the textures dancing on our tongues, from the crispness of a fresh salad to the velvety smoothness of a well-prepared soup.
Even the sounds of our meal, whether it be the gentle crackle of bread crust or the satisfying crunch of vegetables, add to the symphony of sensory pleasures that mindful eating offers.
6 – Satisfying your cravings
This newfound awareness empowers us to make conscious choices that honor both our physical and emotional needs. Rather than suppressing or denying our cravings, we learn to discern when indulgence might lead to genuine satisfaction and when it may lead to temporary pleasure with long-term consequences. With a compassionate understanding of ourselves, we seek healthier alternatives to meet our emotional needs without compromising our well-being. Mindful eating equips us with a toolbox of coping mechanisms, beyond the realm of food, to address emotional states and find solace, whether through relaxation techniques, creative pursuits, or meaningful connections with others.
As we cultivate this conscious relationship with our cravings and emotions, we develop an inner resilience that steers us away from impulsive choices and guides us towards a more balanced and nurturing approach to both food and self-care.
7 – Knowing your hunger and fullness cues
Mindful eating, at its core, offers a profound invitation to attune ourselves to the wisdom of our bodies, fostering a harmonious relationship with the signals of hunger and fullness that our intricate systems constantly send. In a world where external influences often dictate our eating behaviors, mindful eating encourages us to reconnect with our internal cues, reminding us that our bodies possess an innate intelligence to guide us towards optimal nourishment.
By carefully listening to the subtle whispers of hunger, we learn to distinguish genuine physical hunger from emotional or habitual cravings, discerning when our bodies truly need sustenance and when we seek comfort or distraction. This heightened awareness liberates us from the shackles of impulsive eating and empowers us to honor our body’s needs with conscious and deliberate choices.
8 – Focusing on your health
Mindful eating opens the door to a fascinating journey of self-awareness and discovery, where we become attentive not only to the taste and appearance of the foods we consume but also to their effects on our bodies and emotions.
By carefully observing the aftermath of our food choices, we can gradually develop a deeper understanding of how different foods influence our physical and emotional well-being. Through this introspective process, we gain valuable insights into which foods nourish us, providing sustained energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality, while also discerning those that may leave us feeling lethargic, bloated, or emotionally drained.
This heightened awareness serves as a gentle compass, guiding us towards making more informed and nutritious choices that truly support our holistic health and well-being.
9 – Becoming more grateful
With each bite, the spirit of gratitude elevates our dining experience from a mere act of consumption to a profound act of communion with nature’s abundance. This mindful appreciation for the food before us infuses it with a new depth of meaning and significance. We become more attuned to the flavors, textures, and colors of our meals, savoring each moment with a heightened sense of awareness and thankfulness.
As we immerse ourselves in this ritual of gratitude, our choices naturally align with our well-being and the well-being of the planet. We find ourselves drawn towards wholesome and nourishing foods that support not only our physical health but also our emotional and spiritual fulfillment. The act of gratitude becomes a guiding light, illuminating the path towards choices that honor both our bodies and the greater ecosystem that sustains us all.
Through this transformative practice of mindful eating, we bolster a profound connection with the food we consume, recognizing it as a gift from nature and a source of sustenance that nourishes not only our bodies but our hearts and souls.

At the start of 2023, the United States government surpassed its debt limit of $31.4 trillion, and in the months since, the Department of the Treasury has taken extraordinary measures to fund public services. These measures are merely a stop-gap, however, and as early as June 1, 2023, the federal government may default on its debt – an outcome that would have disastrous economic consequences.
According to analysis from the Council of Economic Advisors, a protracted default could result in the loss of 8.3 million American jobs and a five percentage point increase to the unemployment rate, along with a 6.3% economic contraction in the third quarter alone.
But raising the debt ceiling requires cooperation between Congress and the president, and in the new era of divided government, the two sides appear to have hit a stalemate. House Republicans have signaled an unwillingness to raise the debt ceiling without significant concessions from the Biden Administration – concessions the White House has flatly stated it is not willing to make. (Here is a look at the members of Congress who didn’t last 100 days on the job.)
While raising the debt ceiling is a practical necessity, concerns over rapid growth in government spending are not entirely unfounded.
Precipitated in part by higher government spending during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the COVID-19 pandemic – and in conjunction with reduced revenue from tax cuts and economic recessions – the national debt has ballooned by 430% over the last two decades alone.
Already grappling with record levels of debt, the federal government has again exceeded its statutory spending limit and must raise its borrowing limit to remain solvent. This routine procedure has happened 78 times since 1960 – during Republican and Democratic presidencies. But this year, the process promises to be anything but straightforward.
Raising the debt ceiling requires cooperation between Congress and the president, and in the new era of divided government, any bipartisan agreement is likely to be hard fought. House Republicans have signaled an unwillingness to raise the debt ceiling without significant concessions from the Biden Administration – concessions the White House has flatly stated it is not willing to make. Failure to reach an agreement would be an unprecedented event with dire consequences for the U.S. economy and global financial markets. (Here is a look at the members of Congress who didn’t last 100 days on the job.)
Using data from the U.S. Treasury Department, 24/7 Wall St. identified the U.S. presidents who oversaw the largest increase to the national debt in the last 100 years. Not all presidents were in office for the same amount of time, so to compare the administrations, we ranked each president – from Herbert Hoover to Joe Biden – on the compound annual growth rate of the national debt (unadjusted for inflation) during their time in office.
No president in the last 100 years has added more to the national debt on an annual basis than Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat. Faced with World War II, as well as the Great Depression, Roosevelt served during an extraordinary time. Over the 12 years of his administration, the national debt climbed from $22.5 billion to $258.7 billion, at a compound annual growth rate of 22.6%.
Still, of the five presidents who added the most to the national debt each year, four were Republicans: Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. Of them, Reagan added the most debt each year, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.1%. (Here is a look at the 13 leading Republican presidential candidates for 2024.)
It is important to note that while the president is responsible for setting the national budget each year, administrations have only limited control over the national debt while they are in office. Factors outside the control of the White House, including macroeconomic circumstances, geopolitical crises, global pandemics, and laws set by previous administrations that impact government spending and revenue, affect the national budget.

Funny the english language. If I take the same sentence as the title of this blog (There is a conference for that!) and change one character it gives a completely different meaning… so… here goes:
There is a conference for that?
That was my wife’s reaction when I told here I was going to San Antonio TX for the 7th (that’s right more than one) Accounts Payable Automation Conference. (http://www.iofm.com/products/view/apauto11) Then she said, “that’s a great place for you to promote your book!” (And) She is right on about that!
I am at the AvidXchange booth all day today and tomorrow. Would love to meet you if you are at the IOMA AP Automation Conference, so stop by and say “Hello”!

The Day J. Geils Band Singer Peter Wolf Married Actress Faye Dunaway
Before Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, before Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli, before Bruce Springsteen and Julianne Phillips, J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf made worlds collide (and gossip columnists’ heads spin) when he married critically acclaimed Hollywood star Faye Dunaway.
The glamorous Dunaway, already Oscar-nominated for her work in 1967’s Bonnie and Clyde – and soon to pick up her second nomination, for 1974’s Chinatown – may have seemed like an unlikely match for Wolf, a harmonica-toting blues belter whose sweaty antics as the J. Geils Band’s one-of-a-kind frontman had helped the group earn an ardent live following even as their record sales struggled. But whether or not anyone in the press thought their relationship made sense, it worked for the newlyweds. For a while, anyway.
“We were there for each other, without an effort,” Dunaway wrote in her 1998 memoir, Looking for Gatsby. “We were like two warriors standing shoulder to shoulder. That’s how we used to think of ourselves. There was no ego clash between us, though we were always ambitious. If he needed something, I would help him with it. And if I needed something, he would help me with it. … With Peter, I never had to worry if he loved me. He simply did.”
Of course, given the demands of their divergent careers, time for standing side by side came at a premium. While Dunaway’s acting career continued to take off, Wolf was in the middle of an exhausting run with the J. Geils Band, who’d release 10 albums in the eight-year span between 1970-’78 while honing their renowned live show with a grueling touring schedule. They dated for two years before tying the knot on Aug. 7, 1974, but the wedding happened in a blur. The couple reportedly tied the knot just one day after getting engaged.
“My life now is such that I could get hung up on a lot of diversions if I wanted to, but I don’t,” Wolf told Sounds in 1976. “The J. Geils Band is the thing I love and wanna do. I could spend by time party-hopping with an impressive list of people, but that list of people has nothin’ to offer me, and I probably have nothin’ to offer them. I ain’t got the time to waste.”
For a while, the effort of juggling their professional obligations wasn’t too much of a strain. In her autobiography, Dunaway writes of feeling “a sense of the infinite promise of life” during the early days of their marriage, and although the J. Geils Band’s annual album releases seemed stuck in the mid-to-lower reaches of the Top 40, their profile certainly wasn’t hurt by Wolf’s association with Dunaway, who won her first Best Actress Oscar for 1976’s Network.
Eventually, however, the strain started to show: as Dunaway wrote in her book, “time, life, and the world kept wearing away at our relationship.” They separated in 1978, and their divorce was finalized in 1979 – the year before the J. Geils Band scored its highest chart showing in nearly a decade with the (allegedly) coincidentally titled Love Stinks. The band finally notched a No. 1 record the following year with Freeze Frame, but by 1983, Wolf had to face the reality of another severed union, as he parted ways with his bandmates to pursue a solo career.
“There were dark moments … valleys and plateaus,” Wolf admitted in a NME interview from 1979. “The band was affected by the personal snooping, the trials and tribulations, motions and commotions.”
Painful as those splits had to have been, they weren’t entirely irrevocable. Wolf and Dunaway have remained on friendly terms over the years, and after more than 15 years apart, the J. Geils Band came together for the first of an ongoing, sporadic series of reunion gigs in 1999 (although the group has more recently found itself in court with its exiled guitarist/namesake). During a 2010 interview with No Depression, Wolf stressed equanimity with all of his famous former partners.
“We were in a romance, she worked hard and was very dedicated to her work. I worked hard and was very dedicated to my work,” Wolf recalled when asked about his relationship with Dunaway. “We both shared each other’s worlds and we both respected the work. And, I might say, we made it a very assertive attempt not to become a celebrity couple. We turned down all these Barbara Walters-coming-to-the-house kind of things and yak, yak, yak. It was something that we really – I think – wisely avoided.”
He offered a similar show of respect for the J. Geils Band, saying, “When we were together making music, it was a deep bond and we worked hard night after night because putting on a J. Geils show required – it wasn’t just standing there and doing the music. You had to do it body and soul. And so we were there, and unfortunately it dissipated. And every now and then, we get together and celebrate what we accomplished as musicians as far as a body of work.”

When consumed in casseroles and sandwiches, “breaded and fried” seems to be the default preparation method for eggplant. As a person of Southern origin, I am not opposed to a breaded and/or fried thing, but eggplant doesn’t need it. There are two other efficient ways to prepare eggplant for layering into casseroles and sandwiches, and neither of them require an egg dip.
We’ve covered this method before, but it works so well (and I have been using it so often), it deserves to be highlighted again. A.A. Newton first learned of the technique in one of Kris Yenbamroong’s Instagram stories, and it has to be the least fussy eggplant prep technique I’ve ever seen:
Instead of salting the eggplant and frying it in quarts of oil, he tosses raw, totally un-prepped slices into a salted pan with no oil at all. The cooked eggplant slices get layered with copious amounts of olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, and herbs, like a lasagna.
In addition to the complete lack of salting and draining, this method is also devoid of cooking oil. Yenbamgroong finishes the salt-fried slices with olive oil after they’re cooked, but the super hot, dry salt gives the eggplant smoky, evenly charred outsides and silky insides, without any soggy spots. (Salt, as it turns out, gets incredibly hot in a pan, so any moisture coming out of the eggplant evaporates quickly.)
You can layer these deeply browned slices in a casserole dish with lots of herbs, aromatics, oil, and/or a crumbly funky cheese, or you can take all that and put it on a roll (hoagie, hero, sub—whatever the hell you call it). I have been drizzling slices with garlic honey and eating them as a side, and I find it to be quite pleasing.
A few weekends ago, I asked A.A. Newton (the undisputed eggplant queen), if she could recommend a good recipe for eggplant parm. “The Food52 genius recipe version,” she replied. “Baking the slices instead of frying >>>>>.”
The recipe, I am happy to report, is not only genius, but an exercise in elegance and restraint. The sauce is a three-ingredient banger, and the eggplant step is startlingly—almost suspiciously—simple. All you have to do in terms of prep is peel the eggplant, slice it into 1/4-inch planks (though I did rounds), salt the slices, layer them in a colander, and weigh them down with a heavy plate or tea kettle filled with water. After half an hour, pat the slices dry with paper towels and dredge them in flour, making sure to tap off the excess.
Next, oil up a couple of baking sheets (or one very large one), adding just enough to lightly coat the bottom, and place the dredged eggplant slices on the baking sheet. Drizzle a little more oil on each slice and cook in an oven heated to 450℉ until the tops are browned, then flip ‘em over to brown the bottoms. It sounds too simple to be worthy of the name eggplant parm, but it works.
I am not an Italian American, but my boyfriend is, and he was skeptical that this would result in a good eggplant parm. “They’re not breaded?” was all he asked, before retreating to the safety of the living room, but that was enough. Though he daren’t say more—for I had given him a look—I knew he did not have confidence in this recipe.
He may be Italian-American, but I am the better cook, and A.A. Newton knows her eggplant, and I was right to trust her recommendation, and trust the process of this recipe. One bite and the skeptical Italian man declared it to be the best he’d ever had. It was a perfect mouthful of crisp but custardy eggplant, tangy, garlicky, marinara, and gooey, salty cheese. There was no soggy breading, no oddly separated egg layer, much less oil to clean up, and no greasy residue in my hair from pan frying.
This oven fried, crisp but custardy eggplant is incredible in a parm situation, but it could also be layered with herbs and alliums like the salt-fried eggplant discussed above, or shoved into a simple, non-parm sandwich. I would try the parm though. The parm is very good.

Taking flag, pole is disrespectful
As we prepared for our annual Veteran’s Day banquet, we noticed the absence of our new flag and pole. This disturbs my family greatly, that someone would actually walk up on our porch in the afternoon and steal the flag right off of the house.
We try very hard to keep the flags we fly in good repair and to replace them as soon as they get faded. It is lit up at night with a dedicated spotlight as per the United States flag code. Our main reason for flying the flag is not decoration, but respect for the men and women who have served and are currently serving this country.
If you know the whereabouts of our flag and pole, please see that we get it back—no questions asked.

Monthly Profile Feature
Ghanaian mining engineer, Barbara Mantebea Owusu-Konadu, is looking for new opportunities and is keen to explore the world and expand her knowledge and experience of the mining sector. She’s not fazed or offended by those who question why a young woman would chose mining as a career and is keen to let girls and other women know about the sector and its possibilities. She was the first female mining engineer at Kaltire Mining Tire Group in Ghana, which kindled her enjoyment for the industry, its variety and the challenges it offers. She says that doing something that people seem to think ‘I’m not supposed to be doing’, has just added to the excitement of the work. Passionate about volunteering, quality service delivery and offering value at work, Barbara believes in the power of networking and in women in mining groups helping each other and younger women as they start out on their career. By Camila Reed
How did mining come to you? How did you choose mining as a career?
I didn’t choose mining it came to me. I wanted to be a doctor, study medicine, but my mother said let me talk to some people and see what’s best for you. She recommended mining and studying at the University of Mines and Technology Mining University of Ghana. My mother chose well. I had no idea — I didn’t even know there was a university of mines in Ghana. She knew several people who worked in the mines. I’ve never looked back – Mother knows best.
What is your experience of being a woman working in the mining sector?
I really enjoy it, but you are made aware very often that you are a woman working in a predominantly male industry. There are few female mining engineers and even fewer working on mining sites. It does make you self-conscious.
When it comes to the work sometimes the men want to protect you or let you know that this is not a typical job for women. You need to go the extra mile to do the work you have been hired to do.
By seeking to protect you, they at the same time hinder your growth as an engineer and a woman in the industry. Which means you have to put in double the effort to prove yourself.
And when it comes to interacting with people, I still get surprised looks from people when I mention what I do. I had the opportunity to visit my company’s UK office and it was interesting to experience similar attitudes towards women in mining in seemingly different countries and cultures like Ghana and the UK.
Back home some people say: ‘Wow, you are very brave, why do you want to go into the mines?’ It’s not in a bad way but they are surprised that a woman wants to become a mining engineer.
How does that make you feel?
I find it amusing that people see it that way. I think I would have reacted in the same way if asked the same question earlier when I didn’t know about the industry. I don’t get offended by it, I just answer their questions.
Mining is very different and offers many opportunities; I love the variety of tasks in mining. You are never bored: there are site visits, data analysis and a range of challenges to tackle, be it around production or site issues.
And actually, doing something that is often perceived as an unconventional career choice for a woman adds to the excitement of the work. I really enjoy the work!
Have you/do you encounter much discrimination?
I was the first female mining engineer to work for Kaltire Ghana, and they did a lot to make me comfortable. I had very good managers, they took me under their wing and taught me so much, which I’m really grateful for.
It was a new experience for them, as it was for me, and they did their best to give me a lot of exposure and opportunities. I never at any point felt like I had been passed over for a position or faced any discrimination based on my gender.
Have you had mentors and sponsors that helped you on the way?
Having mentors is really important to me, and I acknowledge the help I got from my managers and directors, who pushed me along and made sure I was involved in all aspects of work and the training opportunities available. Being out of the industry and in school currently, it’s still important to have someone who can guide me back into the industry and the areas I can go into.
Opportunities like the International Women in Resources Mentorship Programme (IWRMP) exist for women engineers like myself and I’ve applied with the hope of getting access to other women who can support my professional growth in the industry.
I’ve also been in touch with some women mining engineers via LinkedIn for advice and that support system has been pretty important to me too.
Could you share one or two challenges you’ve experienced in your career and how you overcame them?
I have encountered challenges dealing with cultural ageism and sexism in Ghana. Being a young female with subordinates, who were older and males, sometimes resulted in conflicts that threatened to impact the quality of work our team produced.
I used a professional coach, made available through a supervisory certificate course I was undertaking, to learn about managing my team more effectively, dealing with cultural challenges and handling difficult interactions. This helped me establish to my team the importance of professionalism, responding to the chain of command and to know that this was not personal.
This was difficult for me and for my team as well because I could empathize with their feelings on a certain level.
Having people from different backgrounds working together as a project team can have significant impacts on a project. Therefore, overcoming this challenge with my team was very important to me. Moving on from it and being able to work more effectively together made the experience worthwhile.
What would you love to do next?
Upon completion of my post-graduate in project management studies at Robert Gordon, Aberdeen in January, 2018, I’d like to go back into the mining industry and explore available opportunities. Even as I look forward to returning to Ghana in February, I’m open to relocating wherever opportunities exist!
I spent a few months in Peru as a volunteer and would love to go back to Peru and continue to learn Spanish and immerse myself in the culture again but this time as a mining/project engineer.
In the long term, I have PhD and lecturing aspirations to influence women getting into STEM. I founded an NGO in Ghana a year ago, SOAR Global Foundation, that is focused on supporting children’s education and I intend to use it to further literacy in Ghana now and in the future.
Do you believe women in mining groups can help to change the image of the industry and make the sector more attractive to women?
I believe the mere existence of these groups is a step in the right direction in changing perceptions and making the industry more attractive to women. These groups are a goldmine of experience and knowledge in the mining industry for all women. I can testify to how being a part of International Women in Mining (IWiM) has benefitted me.
There is the need to create access for young women to experienced women in the industry. To acquire role models, mentors or even simply to obtain more knowledge about the industry. Being able to interact with, and learn from, someone who has gone ahead of you, makes all the difference.
I think there are so many women out there who feel that they’re doing it by themselves and we have the opportunity to help them find out about other women who are doing the same job as them.
What could help young women starting out in their careers?
Finding established women in the industry and having access to them is very important.
When I became a part of IWiM, I started sharing information about the group on my social media platforms and I got great engagement from women at different stages of their career, who wanted to learn more about things to do with women in mining and how to engage with other women in the industry.
There is a need for female industry experts to reach out to the younger women or create an avenue for accessing information on what to expect and how to generally navigate the industry as a woman.
There is a general feeling of being thrown into an industry, without knowing what to expect as a woman, and having to experience things for yourself. Without it being completely negative, the presence of a mature female figure to seek advice and information from, would soften the impact.
Over the years, there has been an increase in women venturing into mining engineering, as is evidenced by University intake records. There is therefore the need for more engagement with women in the industry to help these young women.
Do you feel you have had to adapt to ‘fit’ the industry?
I have felt like I needed to be more like a man and act less ‘female’ in order to fit in because women are naturally perceived to be weak. But I do not want my gender to be used against me, be perceived as weak or obtain any special treatment just for being a woman.
There should be a level playing field and you shouldn’t have to act like a man. But it is a little sacrifice to pay for being in that environment. After all, there are years of perception to break down as mine engineering has been a predominantly male role.
You can only chip away at this slowly. It won’t go away overnight.

Big Bend National Park is located on the Rio Grande River in the great state of Texas. This national park can be described as rugged, huge, unique and beautiful. I especially found the area around the river to be the most beautiful. The best part of our trip to Big Bend is that my parents joined us for their Spring Break! Spring Break is one of Big Bend's busiest weeks of the year and it was fun to be among all of the spring breakers.
The Rio Grande provides a natural border between the US and Mexico. It's neat to look across the river and see another country. You aren't allowed to cross the Rio Grande though because it would be considered an illegal border crossing.
Big Bend looks like what many people probably think all of Texas looks like with rolling tumbleweeds, vast desert and cactus everywhere. As a native Texan I feel proud to have made it all the way to West Texas to see one of Texas' national parks! Big Bend even had Blue Bonnets which is the Texas state flower.
We spent alot of time on the river skipping rocks, fishing, canoeing and sitting in the natural hot spring (my favorite part!).
We also spent time hiking the Chisos Mountains and driving all over the park to see as much of it as we could.
Now that I've seen another national park, I'm even more thankful we have wild places in the USA to enjoy!

Many foodies are afraid of a big piece of meat like the one above. That folks is a whole beef tenderloin. We regularly buy them at Costco, where recently the price has dropped drastically. This guy cost us only $62. To put that into perspective, I often watch people at the butcher’s counter paying $15 a piece to make filet mignon or $60 for a 6-8″ tenderloin roast. That is just poor economics, but many people don’t think of buying a whole loin because they are afraid to clean it.
That’s a shame, because not only is it a great way to make one of the nicest cuts of beef affordable but it is also really easy. As a muscle, the tenderloin has a fine layer of sinew around most of the flesh. Basically all you need to do is remove that layer or silverskin. You will want to work with a small, very sharp knife, as you want to slice it off cleanly, not tear the flesh. Another reason for using a very sharp knife is that you want to have good control while you are cutting, as you are working in very close quarters with your fingers. Don’t slip because you were using that old paring knife you stole from Mom when you moved out. Yes, we all have one or two of those in the drawer!
Find a spot near the fattest part of the loin and slip your blade through the silverskin and under the fine layer, holding the knife as close to the sinew as possible. Bring the tip of the knife out of the skin, about an inch from your first incision. Holding the blade at an upwards angle towards the skin, draw the blade away from you, down the length of the silverskin. You want to try to glide the blade along the back side of the silverskin removing the flesh. Now that you have “broken in”, you may find you can remove much of the sinew by running a finger under it. The stuff that you can’t get under, just run the knife under it as before.
As you remove that stuff, you’re going to find a few ribbons of fat towards the thicker end of the loin. Most of them are small and you can just clean off the edges with your knife. There will likely be one thicker ribbon of fat that separates the main section of the loin from another nice plump piece. Remove that piece and retain it for another meal. Clean up where that piece was, removing the remaining fat and sinew with your knife.
You know have 1 long piece of beef tenderloin, a small cast off piece of meat and a pile of fat and sinew with little bits of waste beef attached. More on that pile later. You will notice that the loin is very slim at both ends. You will probably want to cut those ends off so they look like small roasts. Now, you have some great looking cuts of meat that you could have easily spent double for at the meat counter.
In this case, you’ll see the small end at the back. In front of it is the piece that I’ve separated but haven’t cleaned. That will be reserved for another use. Then there is the thinner part of the center of the tenderloin. We used that for a smaller Wellington without mushrooms for the kids. The big part in the front was used for the main Wellie. We’ll give you all of the deets of the wellies in another post. The pile of fat and off cuts on the right side was used in our tenderloin stock experiment.
Really, when you buy a whole beef tenderloin, you can get 3 or 4 meals from it for the cost of 1 meal if you buy just the filet’s already cut.

AHA News: Lifelong Discrimination Linked to High Blood Pressure in Black People
MONDAY, Feb. 22, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- Enduring a lifetime of discrimination may increase the risk of high blood pressure in Black people but not in Hispanic, Chinese or white people, a new study suggests.
Previous research has linked lifelong discrimination to the development of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, in Black people. This new study, however, is among the first to look at multiple types of discrimination in a large multi-ethnic group over a period of time.
The study included 3,297 Black, Hispanic, Chinese and white adults from 45 to 84 years old. They did not have high blood pressure at the start of the study. Participants were asked to report experiences of lifetime and everyday discrimination.
Lifetime discrimination measures included six items, such as being denied a promotion or having life made difficult by neighbors. Everyday discrimination, meanwhile, consisted of nine items, such as being treated with less respect than others or being harassed in day-to-day life.
After nearly two decades, almost half of participants developed high blood pressure. Black participants who reported lifetime discrimination had a 35% increased risk of hypertension, even after accounting for age, income, education, body mass index, physical activity and other factors. Everyday discrimination, however, did not appear to contribute to risk for hypertension.
"Discrimination impacts the health of Black Americans and it should be recognized as a major public health problem," said Allana T. Forde, lead author of the study published last week in the Journal of the American Heart Association. In November, the American Heart Association issued a "call to action" advisory acknowledging structural racism as "a fundamental cause of poor health and disparities in cardiovascular disease."
"Health professionals should look beyond traditional risk factors, such as diet and physical activity, and acknowledge discrimination as another risk factor," said Forde, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
Surprising for researchers, she said, was that lifetime discrimination did not reach the level of statistical significance for contributing to high blood pressure among Chinese and Hispanic participants, even after accounting for being born outside the United States.
Studies in other areas of the U.S. are needed to confirm the findings, researchers said, because the new study was limited to those living in five large cities and one county. In addition, the study only assessed discrimination experiences once at the start of the study, making it unclear what impact changes in discrimination exposure might have had on hypertension development during the follow-up period.
"There is always a concern that not enough subjects were included in the study to show differences in populations or that not all relevant variables were accounted for," said Dr. Willie Lawrence, chief of cardiology at the Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. He was not involved in the study.
When measuring decades of discrimination that leads to hypertension, other social determinants of health also must be accounted for. These include health care access, transportation options and a person's neighborhood.
"Whether communities have sidewalks and green spaces impacts health," Lawrence said. "If we want to make people healthier, we have to not only eliminate disparities in health care delivery, but we must also seek equity in housing, neighborhoods and education."
Overall, the study found Black people reported the highest levels of discrimination. About 65% reported lifetime discrimination compared to 42% of Hispanic people, 40% of white people and 23% of Chinese people. Black people most often attributed the unfair treatment to race, whereas white people by far attributed it to non-racial factors such as age, sex or religion. Hispanic and Chinese people were about evenly split between feeling the discrimination was motivated by race versus other factors.
For everyday discrimination, 52% of Black people, 32% of white people, 26% of Hispanic people and 20% of Chinese people reported high levels of exposure.
"Race is complicated in America. It is not genetic," Lawrence said. "So, I'm not ready to believe that when people of other colors are treated the way Black Americans have been treated for decades that they won't have higher rates of high blood pressure."
Even so, he said, "it's an important study that adds to our belief that social factors impact health."
Certain, however, is that Black people have higher rates of high blood pressure than other racial and ethnic groups. According to AHA statistics, about 58% of Black adults in the U.S. have the condition, which increases the risk for heart attack and stroke.
"Understanding the social experiences of Black Americans can contribute to improving health and reducing health inequities," Forde said.

Get your free How to Start a MamaBake eBook (big batch recipes, a start-up poster etc)by clicking on the piccy. All the details are in there.
Here are a few guiding principles for groups that help keep the MamaBake spirit alive and well.
- Founding member, Mama Becs, always says: “Keep it simple”. Don’t get too hung up on cost; it all just works out
- Establish the group’s general food values from the outset. This is the most important discussion to have at the outset. Is anyone vegetarian, paleo, have allergies, prefer organic food etc?
- Keep groups as local as possible. When women are having to travel, often with little ones, it becomes another chore and who wants another one of those?
- MamaBakers keep a gentle eye out for each other. When a Mama (whether in the MamaBake group or not) hits a rough patch e.g. sickness or birth, MamaBakers make sure the food goes a little further and delivers MamaBake care packages. By covering one another’s backs in this way, MamaBake can make an enormous difference in our communities.

The third season premiere of “TURN: Washington’s Spies” has started off with a reveal so huge that we’re not sure how the spy ring will survive this latest twist.
After all that effort to hide his crimes and throw Major Andre (JJ Feild) off the trail, it seems Abraham’s (Jamie Bell) time as a spy for the Continental army may finally be over.
With the help of Mary (Meegan Warner) and his unlikely new ally, Robert Rogers (Angus Macfadyen), Abraham’s plan to outwit Major Hewlett (Burn Gorman) goes off without a hitch. The cipher is copied, the fake letter is planted, and all suspicion about Abraham’s involvement with the Sons of Liberty appears to be off the table.
Until, that is, his father decides to go and blow the whole thing.
The one move fans never thought could happen has finally come to pass. After witnessing his son’s obvious lies and trickery, Richard (Kevin McNally) has finally had enough, and he decides to turn Abraham in to Major Hewlett, revealing him as a spy.
Apparently the only thing stronger than a father’s love for his son is a grandfather’s hope for his grandson’s future. We’re not sure Thomas will be quite so understanding once he’s grown, knowing his grandpa turned his dad in for treason, but that’s beside the point.
Elsewhere in Philadelphia, Peggy’s (Ksenia Solo) attempts to turn Benedict Arnold (Owain Yeoman) against the Continental Army and over to the British side is slowly gaining ground, but it’s costing her dearly. You have to wonder how long this poor girl can keep up the ruse of the besotted fiancee, when we all know she hates Benedict almost as much as she loves Major Andre.
History isn’t exactly on her side, but fans can still hope that her love story has a few twists and turns left.
“TURN: Washington’s Spies” airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.

and I’m still plugging away.
By the halfway mark, many writers fall into a plot hole abyss, wrestle with a character who wants to take over the story, or they come to the realization the story line isn’t really keeping their attention. And just for clarity’s sake, this happens to all writers whether they are doing the NaNo challenge or not. The difference in November is that you only have two weeks left in the challenge to fulfill that 50,000-word minimum and declare a win.
Pressure, much? Stress, maybe?
The best thing about the NaNoWriMo challenge is the only person you are competing against is YOU. Now is not the time to start editing or switching POV, or changing the rudimentary goals, motivations and conflicts of your hero and heroine. Now is the time to freestyle and just write it all out. December ( and the rest of the new year )is for editing and refining. Tweaking and changing.
Now, the goal is to write – albeit you want it to be good writing, that goes without saying. But as long as you are pounding forward, getting those fingers on the laptop keys, or writing out long hand, you are winning.
The tagline for my website is Writing is my Oxygen, because I need to write in order to exist, just like I need to breathe in order to live. A day without writing something, anything, to me, is a wasted day. I approach NaNo the same way. As long as I am pushing forward on the story, I am in the positive column. And even if I get to 11:30 pm November 30 and still need 500 more words to get over the finish line, at least I know I got that far.
To me, partaking in the NaNoWriMo challenge IS the win. The 50k words are just the cherries on top.

- Locale'd the day-of-the-week-letters. Don't worry, you won't find any "F" or "S" in your locale database, just "Friday" and "Sunday". - Fixed a bug with 28/20-day months. Skipping a month ahead from e.g. January 31st would have you end up on March 3rd. Same for skipping backwards. - Made the selected date always appear in bold. - Prevented all skipping into the future. This was still possible by skipping whole months.

AAA Rents uses 3-D CAD software to help design the perfect flow and ideal setup for any gathering.
In any event at a new venue, there long list of unknown elements that can affect the event and the way it carries out from start to finish.
Part of this is the appearance of unpredictable guests, but part is also the initial layout of all rented items. Tables, walkways, dance floors, even placement of heaters — every area that guests may wander can have unexpectedly large effects on the comfort levels of the guests.
And if you’ve ever coordinated an event before, you know — there are always surprises. Always.
Of course, it’s part of what keeps the profession interesting…but nobody needs those headaches, right?
There’s a very good solution for this problem: 3-D CAD software!
Our computer program helps us identify optimal placements based on real-world measurements for the best flow of guest activity possible.
It’s very simple. If you’re able to get the measurements of the venue, then we can help you make the best possible use of the space.
We’ll help you with placement, and we’ll even offer our recommendations on what to order for any given occasion. We’ll help you keep the guests’ feet moving the right way by minimizing bottlenecks and wandering, and providing the best flooring for the event.
Take a look at our inventory with us. We offer more than just dance floors – we’ve got a variety of walkways, plants and hedges for guidance, red carpets, ropes, fencing, barricades, pool bridges, aisle ways, Astro-turf…even elevated runways and stages!
Don’t rely on memory…spatial memory in most people is much, much worse than they realize. Get those measurements, and call AAA Rents & Events! Let’s use computers for this task, and keep the people moving smoothly along.

Before relationships ranging from calcium supplements and you can prostate disease try clarified, it is sensible for men to consume a maximum of step 1,000 to at least one,two hundred milligrams/day’s calcium supplements (dieting and capsules joint), which is demanded of the As well as Diet Panel of one’s Institute out-of Medication (look for RDA) (9)
8 age) were randomized to daily calcium supplements supplements (step 1,two hundred milligrams) to possess couple of years. Whenever you are no boost in the risk to possess prostate cancer tumors might have been claimed while in the good 10.3-12 months pursue-up, calcium supplements resulted in a life threatening chance reduced the period comprising regarding 2 years just after therapy visited 2 years just after therapy ended (150). Within the a look at brand new books composed in 2009, the usa Agencies getting Medical care Browse and you can Quality indicated that maybe not all the epidemiological training receive a connection anywhere between calcium supplements consumption and you will prostate cancer tumors (151). The latest review stated that six regarding 11 observational training failed to get mathematically tall positive connections ranging from prostate disease and calcium consumption. Yet, in the four knowledge, every single day consumption off 921 so you can dos,100 mg away from calcium was discovered to be in the an enhanced chance of development prostate cancer when compared with consumption starting out-of 455 to a single,000 mg/big date (151). Inconsistencies among degree suggest cutting-edge affairs between your risk activities to have prostate cancer tumors, also reflect the problems away from examining the outcome out-of calcium intake from inside the free-traditions some body. Such, the fact that people who have higher dairy and you can/otherwise calcium intakes were found to be very likely to getting involved with healthy lifestyles or more attending find medical help can decrease new mathematical significance of a link having prostate cancer risk (152).
Do calcium supplements improve exposure having cardiovascular disease?
Numerous observational education and randomized managed trials have raised inquiries out-of the potential unwanted effects regarding calcium supplements to your cardio risk. The research of information from the Kuopio Osteoporosis Risk Grounds and you will Prevention (OSTPRE) possible analysis discovered that users regarding calcium supplements amongst 10,555 Finnish people (years 52-62 many years) got a good 14% higher risk of creating coronary artery condition as compared to low-enhance profiles during the an indicate follow-upwards from six.75 years (153). The prospective study of 23,980 people (35-64 yrs . old) of one’s Heidelberg cohort of European Potential Investigation for the Cancer and you can Diet cohort (EPIC-Heidelberg) observed that extra calcium consumption was certainly of the risk out of myocardial infarction (stroke) however on likelihood of stroke otherwise cardiovascular illnesses (CVD)-related mortality after a suggest pursue-up off eleven many years (154). But really, employing calcium (?400 milligrams/time vs. 0 mg/day) try associated with the a greater threat of CVD-associated mortality in 219,059 boys, although not for the 169,170 ladies, as part of the National Institute out of Health (NIH)-AARP Dieting and Wellness research and you may then followed getting a suggest several months away from twelve ages. CVD death inside boys was also found to be notably high with overall (weight loss including extra) calcium supplements intakes of 1,500 milligrams/time and you will over (155).
In addition, the secondary analyses of two randomized placebo-controlled trials initially designed to assess the effect of calcium on bone health outcomes also suggested an increased risk of CVD in participants daily supplemented with 1,000 mg of calcium for five to seven years (156, 157). In the Auckland Calcium Study of 1,471 healthy postmenopausal women (ages ?55 years), calcium supplementation resulted in increased risks of myocardial infarction and of a composite cardiovascular endpoint, including myocardial infarction, stroke, or sudden death (156). The analysis of data from 36,282 healthy postmenopausal women randomized to receive a combination of calcium (1,000 mg/day) and vitamin D (400 IU/day) or a placebo in the Women’s Health Initiative/Calcium-Vitamin D supplementation study (WHI/CaD study) initially reported no adverse effect on any cardiovascular endpoints with calcium (and vitamin D) compared to placebo (158). A re-analysis was performed with data from 16,718 women who did not take personal calcium supplements (outside protocol) during the five-year study (157). Although criticized on the approach taken (134, 159), the investigators estimated that women supplemented with calcium and vitamin D had a 16% increased risk of clinical myocardial infarction or stroke and a 21% increased risk of myocardial infarction compared to those who received a placebo (157). However, in another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial – the Calcium Intake Fracture Outcome (CAIFOS) study – in elderly women (median age, 75.1 years), the supplementation of 1,200 mg/day of calcium for five years was not found to increase the risk of vascular disease or related mortality (160). The WHI/CaD data re-analysis also failed to show an increased risk of mortality due to myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease with calcium therapy (156). Also, after an additional follow-up of 4.5 years at the end of the treatment period in the CAIFOS trial, the investigators reported fewer cases of heart failure-related deaths with supplemental calcium compared to placebo (160). In another randomized, placebo-controlled trial of calcium and/or vitamin D3 (RECORD trial), the evaluation of the effect of 1,000 mg/day of calcium (alone or with 800 IU/day of vitamin D) reported no significant increase in the rate of mortality due to vascular disease in 5,292 participants ages 70 years and older (161). A recent cross-sectional analysis of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) evaluated the association between calcium intakes and cardiovascular mortality in 18,714 adults with no history of heart disease. No evidence of an association was observed between dietary calcium intake, supplemental calcium intake, or total calcium intake and cardiovascular mortality in either men or women (162).

Prasad M, Holmboe ES, Lipner RS, Hess BJ, Christie JD, Bellamy SL, Rubenfeld GD, Kahn JM. Clinical Protocols and Trainee Knowledge About Mechanical Ventilation. JAMA. 2011; 306(9):935-941. PubMed PMID: 21900133 This is available on http://www.pubmed.gov
Clinical protocols are associated with improved patient outcomes; however, they may negatively affect medical education by removing trainees from clinical decision making.
Objective: To study the relationship between critical care training with mechanical ventilation protocols and subsequent knowledge about ventilator management.
Design: A retrospective cohort equivalence study linking a national survey of mechanical ventilation protocol availability with knowledge about mechanical ventilation. Exposure to protocols was defined as high intensity if an intensive care unit had 2 or more protocols for at least 3 years and as low intensity if 0 or 1 protocol.
Setting: Accredited US pulmonary and critical care fellowship programs.
Subjects: First-time examinees of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Critical Care Medicine Certification Examination in 2008 and 2009.
Outcomes: Knowledge, measured by performance on examination questions specific to mechanical ventilation management, calculated as a mechanical ventilation score using item response theory. The score is standardized to a mean (SD) of 500 (100), and a clinically important difference is defined as 25. Variables included in adjusted analyses were birth country, residency training country, and overall first-attempt score on the ABIM Internal Medicine Certification Examination.
The 90 of 129 programs (70%) responded to the survey. Seventy seven programs (86%) had protocols for ventilation liberation, 66 (73%) for sedation management, and 54 (60%) for lung-protective ventilation at the time of the survey. Eighty eight (98%) of these programs had trainees who completed the ABIM Critical Care Medicine Certification Examination, totaling 553 examinees. Of these 88 programs, 27 (31%) had 0 protocols, 19 (22%) had 1 protocol, 24 (27%) had 2 protocols, and 18 (20%) had 3 protocols for at least 3 years. 42 programs (48%) were classified as high intensity and 46 (52%) as low intensity, with 304 trainees (55%) and 249 trainees (45%), respectively. In bi-variable analysis, no difference in mean scores was observed in high-intensity (497; 95% CI, 486-507) vs low-intensity programs (497; 95% CI, 485-509). Mean difference was 0 (95% CI, -16 to 16), with a positive value indicating a higher score in the high-intensity group. In multivariable analyses, no association of training was observed in a high-intensity program with mechanical ventilation score (adjusted mean difference, -5.36; 95% CI, -20.7 to 10.0).
Among first-time ABIM Critical Care Medicine Certification Examination examinees, training in a high-intensity ventilator protocol environment compared with a low-intensity environment was not associated with worse performance on examination questions about mechanical ventilation management.

Here’s The Problem With Bitcoin’s Misrepresentation In Mainstream Media
As Bitcoin’s representation in mainstream media becomes questionable, one major outlet just bucked the trend.
It’s fair to say that right now, Bitcoin is under attack. The issues associated with scale, primarily transaction fees and confirmation times, have served up the perfect opportunity for other coins (and the people/teams that are behind them) to lay their respective claims as to why they solve above-outlined drawbacks.
Perhaps unfortunately for Bitcoin, this has come just as it’s broken through to mainstream consciousness and this – in turn – has amplified the platform from which those pushing alternative coins are pushing their message.
No coin reflects this situation right now more than Bitcoin Cash.
A Tale of Two Bitcoins
This week, Roger Ver, once a leading proponent of Bitcoin and famously one of the earlier investors in the space, appeared on CNBC’s Fast Money to discuss the dramatic rise in price seen in the space over the last couple of weeks.
Instead of justifying the price rise, however, Ver used the opportunity to push Bitcoin Cash and, at the same time, to express his opinions that Bitcoin is doomed to failure. By the end of the interview, two well-known CNBC pundits suggested that they felt Bitcoin Cash is a sounder investment than Bitcoin.
Today, in an article published in The Sydney Morning Herald, a leading publication in Australia, Emil Oldenburg, CTO of Ver’s Bitcoin.com, said “bitcoin is right now the riskiest investment you can make” and revealed that he has sold all of his bitcoins and switched to Bitcoin Cash.
Forbes has also picked up on the story, quoting Oldenburg directly.
Bitcoin and Media Bias
The issue here is that these outlets are respected and (supposedly) independent thought leaders and they are the outlets to which those just learning about Bitcoin and blockchain are turning for information. To lead with the comments of Bitcoin Cash proponents is misinformed and outright misleading.
Which is why this piece, published today at the International Business Times, is a breath of fresh air. In the article, Alyse Kileen, a well-known name in the crypto space and a Managing Partner at StillMark Co. and StillMark Capital, outlined her belief that Bitcoin remains the strongest exposure to cryptocurrency right now and that cryptocurrency beginners should invest in bitcoin instead of Bitcoin Cash.
In the article, Kileen writes:
Bcash also addresses the issue of blockchain technology scaling, as many other new cryptocurrencies attempt to do… However, experts in digital currency have described very serious security vulnerabilities inherent in Bcash’s method to scale; further, it may have the effect of centralizing control of the network.
She concludes with the following:
For cryptocurrency users and those new to the arena especially, the technical security inherent in the blockchain is critical, and security most robustly exists and has been historically demonstrated in Bitcoin.
How all this plays out remains to be seen but one thing is certain – that more proponents of Bitcoin are going to need to get their opinions heard on mainstream media outside of just the owners of Bitcoin.com if mainstream public perception of Bitcoin is to be fair and well-informed.
What do you think of bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash’s representation in mainstream media? What needs to be done to fix the issues? Let us know in the comments below.

Welcome to the YES! Weekly Pop Quiz, where we ask politicians and public servants questions about their jobs. This week we’re asking questions about the budget passed by the Winston-Salem City Council last month. The rules are simple: The officials must answer immediately — no research, no callbacks.
Q U E S T I O N S
1) What’s the size of the city’s budget for fiscal year 2008-2009?
2) Can you name at least one way the city cut expenses for the upcoming year?
3) Do you have any other suggestions for holding down expenses this year?
Robert Clark (West Ward)
1) What we typically steward is the operating budget, which doesn’t include the water and sewer departments. The total budget, I’m going to guess, is about $350 million. The operating part of it usually comes to about $175 million. ( Correct)
2) I think we pretty much kept most of the things the same. As far as what the city manager did, I know he cut some things out of the budget before it ever got to us, and I know we wanted to add some policemen. (Correct)
3) The main thing is that we cut about five or six positions in the water and sewer departments. I know we cut out some inspector positions because housing construction is down and we don’t need them. ( Correct)
The thing that’s really hitting us is the fuel prices. It impacts the price of the asphalt we put on the roads and how much it costs to run our fire and police departments. A lot of that is out of our hands, but we are putting in place plans to save energy and work with staffing to make sure we don’t have any extra employees. ( Correct)
Dan Besse (Southwest Ward)
1) Including capital expenses and operating expenditures, it’s got to be in excess of $300 million. ( Correct)
2) We have mandated fuel-efficient vehicles and energy efficiency measures. We also controlled for staff position expansions — implemented some hiring freezes. ( Correct)
I really think we need to work hardest at are two things: medical costs
and energy. I’m not yet confident that we’re being vigorous enough
about enforcing our fuel reduction plans.
Many times I have seen city vehicles idling when they shouldn’t be. We need to replace more of our fleet vehicles with more fuel-ef ficient, hybrid and alternative vehicles. It’s a capital cost in the short run, but in the long run it’s the right thing to do. We also need to assertively promote employee wellness. Like a lot of large employers, we’re self-insured, so medical expenses come straight out of pocket. Ultimately the cost of care is paid for out of cost and revenue. ( Correct)
A N S W E R S
1) $396.5 million
2) The city kept three positions vacant — two in the inspections division and one in the planning department — and eliminated another vacant position from the general fund. A planned overhaul of the bus system and a new salary plan for police officers will be postponed at least a year or until the economy recovers. The Water/Sewer Department eliminated four positions and eliminated new equipment purchases.
3) Whatever works

Wedding is a very special moment for the bride and groom. This is why they want to ensure that the ceremony is totally unforgettable. Every aspect of the ceremony is important to make the experience memorable; however, photography is something that captures the moment and preservers it permanently. While some people are happy posing simply for the photos, some want to go a step further by making it more innovating. Wedding is a great way to bring the families and friends together and here are some cool innovative photography ideas. Recreating the Beatles' Abbey Road If one is looking for innovative technique for wedding photography, then this could really be a very good idea. This could be done right after the wedding. It entails the bride, groom, best man, and the bridesmaids walking over the zebra crossing while the photographer clicks the photos from the side. The arrangement is such that the bride is leads the file and is followed by the groom right behind her. The groom is then tailed by the best man who is followed by the bridesmaids. This will give quite a unique setup. Bride is the Exploding Time Bomb This is another quite innovative technique for wedding photography. The bride poses as a time bomb and is surrounded by the groomsmen and the groom himself. The photographer asks everyone to wait until the moment is right. Now the bride waits for the photographer's commands. When the photographer gives the signal, the bride acts as if she is exploding and the men jump in the air as if they are being thrown back. To click the picture successful, timing will be of extreme importance. It may require a few rehearsals or trial and error. Shoe Tossing
While tossing the bouquet in the air is pretty common, no one usually thinks about hurling the shoes in the air. Gather a few bridesmaids along with the bride. Make the bride stand in the middle. It would be so much better if the bridesmaids are wearing contrasting clothes. Or else, they can have the uniformity in the colour. Now the photographer will stand in the distance and ask the girls to throw the shoes at his command. But the trick is not to throw the shoes up in the air but towards the photographer. Since he would be standing at some distance he wouldn't get hit. At the right moment the photographer will click the picture and capture the shoes mid-air. The focus will be on the shoes and the girls will be blurred out. Wedding Photography Zombie Setting Some people want to make things really unique and innovative. Hence, they try out a few bizarre things as well. Now there is zombie set up that the bride and groom (and their friends) can try. The idea is simple – get them all dressed like zombies and put on the makeup that gives them the zombie semblance. However, it would be a little difficult to achieve and may even be costly.

This is Endre Birta, Here I am writing about how to discover innovative technique for wedding photography?

Stoyan Stefanov posts about some handy PHP development tools that he's added to his TextPad software and wanted to share with the community.
There's four tools in the list (links off of his Tools menu):
- PHP lint (a.k.a. syntax check)
- PHP help
- PHP Manual
- JS Lint
On ones like the PHP manual, it's really a link to a browser that opens the right page on the PHP.net website.

I made this for dinner tonight after a long day looking after 6 children. It can be served as a lunch or dinner and the recipe is easily adjusted to feed more or less people. You can add whatever vegetables you have available. I used frozen mixed vegetables, peppers and sliced mushrooms when I cooked tonight's dinner. It is a very cheap, versatile and filling recipe that is easily adapted to use what you have in your fridge or cupboards.
350g thickly sliced bread, crusts removed
250g bacon rashers, chopped
1 cup (120g) grated cheddar cheese
1 pepper, finely chopped
6 large free range eggs
2 cups (500ml) milk
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or dried mixed herbs
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Cut the bread into cubes. Place the bread in an ovenproof dish (1.5-litre/6-cup capacity).
Add the bacon to a non-stick frying pan and cook, stirring it around, until it's browned. Drain the bacon on absorbent paper. Sprinkle the cheese, bacon and pepper over the bread in the ovenproof dish.
Whisk the eggs in a large jug with a fork until well combined. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce or dried mixed herbs, then season with salt and pepper before whisking everything again until well combined. Pour over bread mixture in the dish.
Bake for about 35 minutes or until the egg looks set. Serve with a salad or cooked vegetables.

Sramana Mitra: What scale is the company at now?
Rob Langdon: It’s approaching nine figures.
Sramana Mitra: Sounds like it’s becoming an enterprise software and healthcare IT company at this point. Is there anything else that is interesting in the story that you would like to discuss? Paper played such an important role. That’s actually very counterintuitive for people who mostly work in technology. Sometimes, the simple solution stares at you in the face and you just ignore it.
Rob Langdon: I just talked to one other healthcare company that’s rapidly developing. One of their observations is that you want to be ahead of the curve or behind the curve, but you don’t want to be right on the curve. The problem that we saw with technology is that everyone at that specific moment was trying to come up with a technological solution and sometimes the better strategy is just to come up with a solution that works and you can sell and develop rapidly. Then, come up with a technological solution. That’s one observation in starting a company. I don’t know if we’re ahead or behind the curve, but we’re definitely not on the curve.
Second thing is we obviously bootstrapped it without having investors. That’s a big advantage. We needed only a few hundred thousand dollars to get the company going. Whereas, you’re going to require several millions of dollars to create an important software. We were able to provide that from our own savings. Therefore, the focus is entirely on product and getting customers. We didn’t have to worry about investor presentations and spending months on end over a deal. We wanted to establish the brand, get market share, and create excitement and charisma.
Sramana Mitra: You’re approaching $100 million at this point. Do you want to go public?
Rob Langdon: About four years ago, we sold a portion of the company. We had two private equity companies. We retain close to 50% of the company.
Sramana Mitra: Which private equity group is working with you?
Rob Langdon: Francisco partners was one of the first companies that specialized in healthcare IT. We’ve known them for three to four years previously. They work in the healthcare IT space very early on. We came to respect their ability to help companies grow. They have done a lot of fantastic exits.
Sramana Mitra: Francisco Partners is involved in the business. That means that they’re looking for an IPO.
Rob Langdon: Yes. We have aligned interest as far as an exit now. We still have a three to four year horizon at this point. It doesn’t mean that we won’t continue on some degree of involvement with the company.
Sramana Mitra: Thank you for your time.

I mentioned in an early post how frustrated I was with the fact that Leah still was not potty trained...
I knew she could do it.
It was just committing to going cold turkey on diapers.
Daycare is closed tomorrow and today is her usual day with my mom...
I was determined to give the 3 day potty training challenge a try.
I bought all the supplies...
A new little potty for her.
Rewards (candy and small toys)
Activities to be stuck indoors for 3 days straight.
And I was terrified/excited.
This morning started off with showing her all the goodies.
She was most excited about the reward basket for going.
She was eager to take her diaper off and get started.
She did not go to the bathroom until 10:20am!
Even after 4 drinks!
And it was an accident on the carpet.
It discouraged her.
It discouraged me.
She wanted nothing to do with the potty for a while after that...
But at 11 I made her sit on the potty again...
And she went!!!
She was SOOOOOOOOO proud of herself!
She kept saying "I can do it!"
I wanted to cry seeing how proud she was of herself!
From then on she was all about sitting on the potty randomly.
She would try to go more, saying things like "It wont come out!" and pushing on her belly.
At 1 she even stopped what she was doing and ran over to sit on the potty!
I thought for sure she would go again soon after because she was drinking nonstop.
As soon as she went she would go down for a nap...
Well 3 oclock rolls around and she still had not gone, even after multiple "attempts" from her.
She throws an awesome tantrum...
Runs to the corner to pout...
And pees on the floor.
It was an accident... but only because of the tantrum and lack of nap.
I'm not disappointed at all.
I should have expected that.
Now she is napping in her bed...
With a naked bottom.
She refused a pull up.
I am terrified how this will end...
But she does have some sort of crazy ability to hold it in!
I'm not sure who all really wants to read about potty training a 2 year old...

American, born 1951
The Messenger, 1996
Sound and video installation, edition 3/3
Running time: 28 minutes, 28 seconds
Sarah Norton Goodyear Fund, 1996
Bill Viola is a leading figure among artists working in new media. His practice focuses on ideas that are fundamental to the human experience. By directly addressing the inexpressible experiences of life, Viola’s work demonstrates how the new medium of video can develop the timeless themes shared by art and faith, just as painting and sculpture have for centuries. Like the greatest examples of these more traditional arts, however, even the seductive power of civilization’s most extraordinary inventions are unable to alter life’s greatest events and its unchangeable realities. To name this work, Viola chose the metaphor of “the messenger,” but lets the viewer decide what he might mean by it. In this installation, we cannot help but remember that we are at the mercy of the elements—air, water, earth, and fire—and, by extension, that we cannot alter the great events of our lives: birth, death, and love.
The Messenger, 1996, was the first video installation to enter the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s Collection. It was originally commissioned in 1996 for Durham Cathedral—one of England’s great gothic churches—by an Anglican organization called The Chaplaincy to the Arts and Recreation in North East England. Subsequently, it was presented at Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, a famous Catholic hospital chapel in Paris. Although this work was originally conceived to be shown in a religious context, it remains timeless, even in an art museum.
About the Artist
Bill Viola was born in New York in 1951. In 1973, he received a BFA in Experimental Studios from Syracuse University, where he studied visual art with Jack Nelson and electronic music with Franklin Morris. He holds honorary doctorates from Syracuse University (1995), The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1997), the California Institute of the Arts (2000), and the Royal College of Art, London (2004), among others, and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2000. In 1998, Viola was invited to be a Scholar at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, and, in 2009, he received the Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2006 he was awarded Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Government. Since the early 1970s, Viola’s video artworks have been seen all over the world. A solo exhibition of his work was presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1987, and, from 1992 to 1994, seven of his installations toured six venues in Europe, organized by the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and Kira Perov. Viola represented the United States at the 46th Venice Biennale, in 1995, and, in 1997, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, organized Bill Viola: A 25-Year Survey—featuring more than thirty-five installations and videotapes—which traveled for two years to six museums in the United States and Europe. One of the largest exhibitions of Viola’s installations to date, Bill Viola: Hatsu-Yume (First Dream), 2006–07, drew more than 340,000 visitors to the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo. Viola is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 1989, and the first Medienkunstpreis in 1993, presented jointly by Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe, and Siemens Kulturprogramm, Germany. Viola has been instrumental in the establishment of video as a vital form of contemporary art and, in so doing, has helped to greatly expand its scope in terms of technology, content, and historical reach. Viola currently lives and works in Long Beach, California.

Slash Film - The first trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was all about fun family adventure. The film is the sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, the film that was ahead of the recent wave of 3D releases, and as such got away with some pretty shoddy effects. This sequel is loosely based on Jules Verne‘s novel The Mysterious Island, and the original trailer highlighted a little bit of danger and a lot of wide-eyed adventure all brought to life with effects that are still pretty shoddy-looking. At least there are a few likable people in the cast: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson tags in to replace Brendan Fraser; Josh Hutcherson is the lead kid Sean, and Michael Caine plays Sean’s long-lost explorer grandfather. Luis Guzman is the comic relief, and Vanessa Hudgens is a love interest for Sean.

You can’t talk about the Isle of Man TT without talking about Guy Martin. The affable rider can be an enigma at times, both on and off the track.
Immensely popular, Martin is surprisingly mercurial with his fans. Supremely talented on a motorbike, the Lincolnshire man has surprisingly never won an Isle of Man TT race.
Britain’s Channel 4 has put together a great short documentary on Martin, which should start help marinate the juices for this summer’s Isle of Man TT race fortnight.
British A&R readers should be able to click over to an even longer video on what makes Guy Martin tick, while us “colonials” will have to suffice with a seven-minute YouTube clip.
Whichever version you watch, it’s a pretty candid and well done insight into one of the TT’s more mysterious riders. Enjoy!

Snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) in winter colours
I wanted the snow buntings to come closer, but I missed my chance for a good shot! This photo is severely cropped so you can see what a snow bunting looks like this time of year.
Camouflaged in a field of weeds
Snow buntings breed in the Arctic and these are vacationing here in balmy Ontario for the winter. As you can see, they can hide easily in a field of weeds but when startled they rise together...
Flock of snow buntings
to quickly fly away. Fortunately for me, this flock flew in front of a barn and my lens captured a few as they passed by.
I am joining Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE

Pleasant View has two living areas specifically designed for residents with dementia or dementia-related illnesses. We motivate residents to be as active and independent as possible while providing them with a safe and secure environment with personalized and purposeful structure and routine. Knowledgeable and compassionate staff not only cares for residents but involve family and caregivers, offering support and education through individualized care plans and educational programming and resources.
The Meadows at Terrace Gardens has 35 private rooms for persons with mild memory impairment. Trained staff encourage as much independence as possible while assisting with daily tasks. Residents participate in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities to stay active and engaged, while specialized programs help stimulate mental and physical activity and increase social interaction. Personal Care is fee-for-service based on a daily rate. Pleasant View does not offer subsidized housing.
When more care is required to continue life skills, one of the private rooms or semi-private suites in Reminiscence could be an appropriate choice. In this location, specialists in memory support provide skilled care for residents experiencing more difficulties with tasks of daily living. Activities designed to engage the mind and stimulate physical activity and socialization are integral parts of programming in Reminiscence. Pet visitations, music therapy, aromatherapy, and hands-on crafts help spark memories, ease tensions, and create positive changes in mood.
In either of these settings, caregivers provide compassionate and specialized care and help treat the symptoms and problems associated with diseases that affect memory, such as Alzheimer’s Disease. It is our philosophy that we are dedicated to ensuring that every individual is valued, as we focus on what is left, not on what has been lost.

they updated it so now if they have more spy infiltration ticks they can penetrate through your lesser spy protection.
It has always been like that.. o.o
someone said it was new.
it was always like that, but before with the old spy system, u can use anyone's spy infil point to protect ur base since ur spy will fight with any spy that are stationed there.
then with the new spy system, it's removed.
but recently, the spy battle is re-implemented with the only change is the agent will only fight with the allied agents put on the OP/colony...

Who sells a good plasma cutter with built in compressor? I think I made a mistake by selling my hobart 250ci. I didn't think I needed it and sold it, but I realized I'm pretty lost without it and projects take a lot longer.
The hypertherm is at my dads house since I don't have a compressor and can't find one that will meet the requirements and not be 60 gallons. Space is getting tight. Or should I sell it and get a plasma that runs off less than 6scfm @ 90psi? And get a smaller compressor?
The 110v on the hobart was fantasic as well! I don't do anything really thick anyhow.

Pinnacles National Park will be reinstating a climbing advisory to protect nesting raptors. The annual measures will begin on Jan. 16.
“We ask you to refrain from any off-trail hiking and climbing in sensitive areas which include the High Peaks, the Balconies Cliffs area, the Piedras Bonitas Cliffs, Goat Rock, Resurrection Wall, Little Pinnacles, and the Egg Rock/Teapot Dome areas,” said Park Superintendent Karen Beppler-Dorn. “Without your cooperation in avoiding the advisory areas, this program could not be the success that it is."
According to Beppler-Dorn, last year six pairs of Prairie and Peregrine Falcons produced a total of 22 fledglings. The park also had successful nesting by American Kestrels, Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Red-shouldered Hawks, and Long-eared Owls.
The specific locations of these sensitive areas are posted on information boards at trailheads, at the visitor centers, on the web at www.nps.gov/pinn or by calling (831)-389-4486.
For more information regarding the park’s raptor monitoring program, please call the Pinnacles National Park office of Research and Resource Management at 831-389-4486 extension 270.

In 1987, Bill Katovsky wrote the following article, surely one of the first, and most endearing, profiles of David Foster Wallace. It ran in that year’s April issue of Katovsky’s now-defunct national literary magazine, Arrival, and is reprinted here with his permission.
David Wallace is kneeling in the hallway, like a golfer lining up a putt. He taps a Marlboro Light on his gray cords, then lights it. Before the cigarette reaches his mouth again, one of his students, a girl, tanned, chunky, with a thick mane of honey-blond hair, approaches him.
“I can’t take class Thursday,” she says.
From his vantage point, he’s eyeball to crotch, so he stands up, the cigarette still several inches from his lips. “Can you say that again?” he asks.
“I can’t make it on Thursday. I think I’ve come down with bronchitis.” The silver bracelets encircling both wrists jangle, clank unmusically, as she brushes her bangs off her forehead. English 210, Introduction to Writing Fiction, will start shortly.
“Yeah, I’ve not been feeling too good myself,” he says. “I just got over viral pneumonia. Everyone seems to be coming down with valley fever.”
“Valley fever—a fungus in the desert soil that’s airborne.” He coughs.
She fidgets, uncertain. She strokes her bangs again. “Will it hurt my grade if I don’t show up for class?”
He stares at her, frowning.
“I’m s’posed to be at the airport real early the next day to catch a flight to Hawaii.”
“It’s a 5-in-the-morning flight.” She’s holding a jumbo plastic tumbler filled with a cola. There’s writing on one side of the cup: I’m a material girl—diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
“I’m afraid I just don’t understand. You’re going to Hawaii? Talk to me inside the classroom.” The Marlboro never makes it home to his lips. He pinches it cold and tosses it into the wastebasket as he walks into the room.
They talk quietly at his desk while the rest of the class straggles in. Desks are rearranged to form a semicircle. One student erases conjugations of French verbs from the blackboard.
It’s mid-March and 85 degrees outside. Most of the students are dressed in shorts, T-shirts, sandals, tank tops. Tall, pale, reed-thin with a fledgling beard, David sports a long-sleeved red-striped Brooksgate button-down shirt and partially laced Timberland hunting boots—probably the only such pair in attendance at the University of Arizona.
He reads from his green attendance book.
“Stephanie hasn’t vanished? Stephanie has red hair?”
“Where is everybody?”
“She should be here, she was in my poly-sci class,” offers Material Girl.
A murmur of relief washes through the room.
“I see George is AWOL—he’ll get shit.”
Twenty students are here, and for the next hour and a half they analyze two short stories written by their classmates. David guides the undergraduate workshop like a seasoned pro, dissecting, explicating, outlining the stories’ failings and strong points. “When you write fiction,” he explains as part of his critique of a story about a young girl, her uncle, and the evil eye, “you are telling a lie. It’s a game, but you must get the facts straight. The reader doesn’t want to be reminded that it’s a lie. It must be convincing, or the story will never take off in the reader’s mind.”
Witty, engaging, thoughtful, and illuminating, David leads his charges through the brambles and thickets of literary theory. With the exception of the Material Girl and George, who arrives late and is reprimanded for reading a newspaper, the students are enthralled, lively, paying rapt attention, for when it comes right down to assessing his teaching wizardry the University of Arizona recently named the 25-year-old instructor Teaching Assistant of the Year.
Toward the end of class, he looks spent, like a race car about to run out of fuel. He fishes a toothpick from his short pocket and lets it droop, unmoving, from the left corner of his mouth.
A bell in the hallway sputters.
“I usually puke my guts out in the bathroom when class ends,” he later admits. We are in the cafeteria. “I guess I’m really a shy sort of person. I hate to be the center of attention.” He decides on a thick wedge of Boston cream pie—speedballing with sugar.
We chat about other matters. Like being the author of The Broom of the System, which has spearheaded Viking’s new series on contemporary American fiction. The novel, penned as his 1,100-page senior thesis at Amherst College, is the product of a wild and gifted imagination. Set in Cleveland, Ohio, in the year 1990, The Broom revolves around Lenore Beadsman., a confused 24-year-old telephone operator and her desperate search for her great-grandmother, a protégé of Wittgenstein who has inexplicably vanished from a Shaker Heights nursing home owned by her father’s baby-food company. Along the way, we meet a cast of hilariously limned characters: an obese man, Norman Bombardini, whose sole mission in life is to fill the world with his corpulent self, which, of course, entails eating as much as he can; Lenore’s foulmouthed pet cockatiel; her one-legged brother, nicknamed the Antichrist, who hangs out at Amherst, where he tutors friends on meaty subjects like Hegel in exchange for pot, which he stashes in a drawer in his prosthesis; and her boyfriend, Rick Vigorous, an inveterate raconteur whose compulsive need to tell macabre tales is his way of masking the shame of being impotent.
The Broom’s multilayered narrative structure and excessively anti-minimalist style bring to mind the metafictional playground of Thomas Pynchon and Robert Coover. The book, joyously alive, is certainly not an easy or quick read. The challenge to the reader is wading through densely written passages that touch upon metaphysical conundrums, language games, theories of the self, and tantalizing antimonies such as “the barber who shaves all and only those who do not shave themselves.” But balancing his heady philosophizing is a playfulness of intent rooted in pop culture. Where else in fiction do we find a Gilligan’s Isle theme bar replete with palm trees and cloddish bartenders in sailor hats who are paid to bumble about and spill drinks?
“My great horror for the last year is that Viking is going to take a bath on me,” says Wallace. He lights the first of a seemingly endless succession of cigarettes. “They picked up The Broom of the System at an auction for $20,000. I thought it was going to be the Heaven’s Gate of the publishing industry.” He corrects himself. “Well, at the time, it seemed like a lot of money to me.”
Twenty grand for a first novel, plus a spate of favorable reviews, including one from the literary doyenne of the New York Times, Michiko Kakutani, well, that doesn’t strike one as too shabby for a graduate student still grinding out short stories in Arizona’s prestigious MFA program. “There is a lopsided emphasis in writing programs on hermetic fiction,” he says, "with the mechanicalness of craft, technique, and point of view, as opposed to the more occult or spiritual side of writing—taking joys in the process of creation.
“I’m not interested in fiction that’s only worried about capturing reality in an artful way. What pisses me off about so much fiction these days is that it’s just boring, especially the young fiction coming out of the East Coast that’s designed to appeal to the stereotypical yuppies, with an emphasis on fashion, celebrities, and materialism.”
He pauses, realizing he’s been lecturing. “Uh,” he adds with a self-deprecating shrug, “what do I know?” After all, these are just the opinions of a 25-year-old. “I don’t claim to have any special insights into anything that’s going on.” I’m looking for a trace of sham, of disingenuousness, in his voice, but it’s nowhere to be found.
He grew up as an academic brat. His father is a philosophy professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his mother teaches rhetoric at a local community college. "It was an exceptional academic household. I remember my parents reading Ulysses out loud to each other when they went to bed. My father read Moby-Dick to my younger sister and me when we were 6 and 8. There was a near rebellion halfway through the novel. Here we were—still picking our noses—and learning the etymology of whale names.
“Later, in high school, competitive tennis and lusting after girls were pretty much my entire existence. Though college changed all that around.” He graduated in 1985 from Amherst with a double major in English and Philosophy—and with the highest GPA in his class. His senior philosophy thesis, he claims, had nothing to do with writing. “It offered a solution in how to deal with semantics and physical modalities concerning Aristotle’s sea battle. If it is now true that there will be a sea battle tomorrow, is a sea battle necessary tomorrow? If it is now false, is a sea battle impossible tomorrow? It’s a way to deal with propositions in the future tense in modal logic, since what is physically possible at a certain time is weird because one has to distinguish the time of the possibility of the event from the possibility of the time of the event.”
After graduation, he turned down an opportunity to study philosophy at Harvard and was lured west by a fellowship in the writing program at the University of Arizona, which he selected over Iowa and Johns Hopkins.
“Writing fiction takes me out of time,” he explains. “I sit down and the clock will not exist for me for a few hours. That’s probably as close to immortal as we’ll ever get. I’m scared of sounding pretentious because anyone who writes fiction is saying, ‘Look at this thing I’ve written.’”
All that is left of his pie is the graham-cracker crust, which he mashes against the plate with his fork. Before he gets up from the table, he decides to make another stab at explaining what he hopes to accomplish as a writer. “I spent a lot of time as a volunteer in a nursing home in Amherst last summer. I was reading Dante’s Divine Comedy to an old man, Mr. Shulman. One day, I asked him where he was from. He said, ‘Just east of here, the Rockies.’ I said, ‘Mr. Shulman, the Rockies are west of here.’ He did a voilà with his hands and then said, ‘I move mountains.’ That stuck with me. Fiction either moves mountains or it’s boring; it moves mountains or it sits on its ass.”

As far as debuts go Paul Smyth could barely have asked for much more.
The former Linfield star got the nod in QPR's starting XI for the New Year's Day showdown with Cardiff City at Loftus Road.
It was a massive occasion for the 20-year-old who signed for the Sky Bet Championship club last summer.
QPR had lost their previous four home games, prompting boss Ian Holloway into making four changes to his starting line-up.
And Smyth seized the moment to make an instant impression.
Trailing 1-0, QPR equalised through Matt Smith in the 62nd minute.
And 10 minutes later Northern Ireland youth international Smyth took centre stage with the winner.
The forward, a summer signing from the Blues, skipped past defender Bruno Ecuele Manga on the left and fired home with the help of a slight deflection off Sol Bamba as the Cardiff captain slid in to try to block the shot.
Smyth was substituted on 77 minutes after picking up a knock and received a standing ovation as he walked off the pitch.
It is a debut that will live long in the memory of Smyth and QPR, as this club tweet said...

In the U.S., we have many choices when considering healthcare providers for ourselves or loved ones. Unfortunately, much of this information is scattered, disjointed, and unreliable. If you’re shopping around for a specific type of doctor or specialist based on the insurance you have, that information is not easily available via the big search engines or major health web portal or apps. Insurance companies have made it fairly difficult for both consumers and application developers to get data on the doctors they reimburse.
Fortunately, Factual has spent months pouring over numerous sources and tens of millions of inputs to build enhanced Healthcare Provider data which now includes the critical “insurance carried” field. Additionally, this 1.8 million record strong dataset includes other attributes such as medical affiliations, gender, languages spoken, and education.
Among the initial launch partners for this data will be Doctor.com, a leading health site helping consumers connect with the healthcare providers best suited to address their specific needs and preferences.
Factual is focused on delivering high quality data to its customers, such as Doctor.com, and we’re constantly improving our data quality. This new release of Healthcare Providers has more sources of data, better rules for ensuring you see only high quality, sensible data, and of course it’s served through our ultra-fast API.
As a developer, you can use the API which employs the same filter context with which you’re familiar (these examples are formatted for readability — remember to URL-encode your request values). These examples show the HTTP requests to make, but be sure to make life easy and check out the API drivers.
This query returns the first twenty female doctors in Omaha (use the offset parameter to pull the next set).
The text fields in the table have been indexed, which enables full text search against them. Developers may find it easier to just create ad hoc queries, rather than querying against specific attributes. This query produces almost the identical results to the one above, with a few extra lines because words can appear in fields other than the expected one – such as “Omaha Blvd”.
Here we do a combination of filters and free text search:
Now we have a precise location, and fairly precise query without having to know that the column names were degrees and gender.
Let’s make sure she’s an experienced doctor, with at least 10 years of experience. To do this, we need to add a filter attribute with an inequality (see the Core API documentation on filters for further technical details):
We hope that you’re healthy and your users are too. But when it’s time to see a doctor, dentist, chiropractor, or a multitude of other providers, we think this data will prove to be a helpful resource.

A year ago today we had no idea how our whole lives would change. Stay at home, save lives, social distance, stay alert, markings on the ground, daily press conferences, queuing to enter a supermarket, stockpiling, lockdowns and queuing online to fight for a super market collection slot were all unimaginable less than a year ago. This year the image on this post will be a familiar sight for many!
The people stayed at home and the world came together – local communities looked out for each other in times of need, seeing our friends and family on a screen became the norm, the elderly and vulnerable didn’t leave their homes for 3 months, and people like me have spent most of the year shielding those we hold dear. We clapped, we laughed, we cried, and we sang as we realised what was happening around us.
We wore facemasks and PPE, washed our hands and gave space to protect ourselves and others (we still do). The skies were blue, the roads were empty, people baked, created, and in many ways found the truth in themselves. Public stadiums and exhibition centres were turned into hospitals, retired medical staff went back to work, schools closed, and the earth stood still.
But, as the earth stood still, humanity began to wake up, we were shaken to awaken once more. Lightworkers began to unite to hold the vibration in love and light, while others felt that 2020 was part of a big plan.
Whilst 2020 has been a challenging year, many people have lost jobs, businesses, loved ones and friends. For me it has been life-changing – it pushed me outside of my comfort zone, it gave me the opportunity to restructure my business and give my people what they needed most. The quiet times gave me the opportunity to rest and dream some new big ideas, it gave me the opportunity to show up online and support the people who needed my services most, but most of all, it gave me the opportunity to develop and grow into who I am today.
This year has reminded me of love and gratitude, it has taught me to strip back to the simple things in life and shown me the importance of following my own heart. My spirit team have led me and my business to places that I could never of dreamed of, and I know that this part of my journey is only just beginning.
As we look forward to the opportunities that 2021 can bring, the treatments and vaccines, being able to hug our friends and family once more, and to have the freedom to do the things that we once took for granted, let us remember the simplicities that 2020 has taught us.
I am looking forward to the day that I can say goodbye to full PPE and meet my clients again in person, I will of course continue to be there for you – my online community.
So, it goes without saying, a heartfelt virtual hug and a huge thank you (from my screen to yours) to all my online clients, students and followers for ALL of your support, and for putting your trust in me to support you.
There won’t be fireworks and big celebrations as we leave 2020, but maybe we can light a candle of gratitude as we remember what 2020 has shown us, I will dedicate mine to all those souls lost this year, and to all those beautiful souls that have kept us safe, and those who have kept our world turning – as we stayed at home.
So here comes the new year – I am reaching out my hand for you, together we rise, together we shine, and together we grow. I look forward to connecting with you as we follow the light into 2021.
All my love

This study provides a test of the proposition that a unique agency cost (induced by windfall interest earnings) has a significant impact on both the money left on the table and underpricing costs of initial public offerings (IPOs) of China-related enterprises (H-shares and Red-chips). This arises from the advanced payment, non-discretionary allocation mechanism adopted by HKEx. The agency cost stems from an asymmetry in the accounting treatment of the reporting of interest income (if any) generated from the public subscribers' application fund, and the often significant, but unreported, underpricing cost. This important point appears to have been first pointed out by Ritter and Welch (2002). For Chinese state enterprises the manager who is overseeing the listing process has little (if any) incentive to maximize the offer price or new equity capital from an IPO but may benefit directly and/or indirectly from the significant interest earnings that can be generated from public subscribers' monies. This occurs when the controlling shareholder (the State) is either uninformed about the true value of the firm and/or due to other considerations allows the manager to offer a deeply discounted offer price. The deep discount raises the public subscription rate and increases the interest income from the application funds. Using the prolonged zero interest rate regime following the bankruptcy of Lehman, the study finds strong support for the proposition and shows that H-shares and Red-chips have offered significantly less money on the table and hence incurred substantially lower underpricing costs relative to Other categories of shares. This is in marked contrast to the pre-global financial crisis period when there were significant interest rates on deposits. The study contributes to the literature on the differential concerns of managers and owners in the IPO process.

Om 2008 keyboard
As it behaves in the shipped 2008.8 state, this keyboard doesn't suit all users.
Some people don't like this keyboard, because it lacks a full Qwerty keyboard. Another issue people have, is they can't switch the keyboard prediction off.
For a description of alternative solutions and potential workarounds, see Keyboard Debate.
- Main article: Keyboard_Debate
Also, bellow are some (more ?) customizations/tweaks/hacks proposed by some users :
Reactivating The Keyboard Toggle
Most applications should bring up the keyboard automatically when keyboard input is required. However, one can have a small 'qwerty' button which can manually toggle the keyboard on and off. See the keyboard toggle tutorial for more information.

Winona Senior High School
International Business Internship Program
Our Life-Changing Project
Class of 2020
My name is Jill Serleth and I am a junior at Winona Senior High School. At school, I enjoy challenging myself as much as I can and love taking difficult classes that help me become a more educated individual. However, more than other classes, English and Literature are generally my overall favorite subjects. I especially enjoy speaking my mind through writing as much as I am able to.
Outside of school, I take part in numerous activities and hobbies. I participate in soccer, nordic skiing, and track during the school year to keep me busy during the times I am not in class. I also have fun rock climbing and generally just exploring the outdoors. During the school year, I play the clarinet for our high school band; performing with the pep band during football games, marching for our local parades, and even playing with our Symphonic band this past year. Generally speaking, I think I would consider myself a pretty well-rounded student.
I am beyond excited to be lucky enough to be working with the International Business Internship program. As media chair, I am hoping to step outside of my box and gain new experiences while collaborating with members of my own community as well as people across the country! Never have I taken part in such a global project that allows me to connect with and help people in such a way that this program allows me to, and I am thrilled to see where the organization will take us!
Pa Cha Vang
Class of 2020
My name is Pa Cha Vang, and I am a Junior at Winona Senior High School. This year I am currently enrolled in Advanced Placement and college classes at our local university. Although each subject has its perks, biology and chemistry interest me the most! I hope to make the world a better place by showing everyone I meet compassion and positivity.
Throughout high school, I have taken part of the Girl’s Soccer team, and been elected to Student Council. Although, throughout the years, I have found myself to be better in certain activities. My out of school hours have been filled with being in the Spanish National Honor Society, LINK, Knowledge Bowl, Music Listening Competition, and National Honors Society. I have been an active member within the music program, playing the trumpet for six years, and being section leader. I play in the Symphonic Band, Marching Band, Pep Band, Jazz Band, and Orchestra. As a junior, I have also been selected to play at the Big 9 Select Band. For the past two years, I have volunteered to help out with the Special Olympics. Additionally, I am a leader for a group in our community called, “GRAB” (which stands for “Girls Reaching Above and Beyond”); this organization focuses on empowering young, beautiful, colored girls to do anything they set their minds to. In the summer, I have a job where I coach(teams of five and six year olds) soccer.
I am so privileged to be a part of the International Business Initiative Program. I enjoy fundraising very much and for the past couple of years, I have been lucky enough to be fundraising with the Student Council, Spanish National Honor Society, and a local non-profit called, “Project FINE” (this organization services new incoming immigrants). As the fundraising chair, I am beyond honored to help fundraise for our deserving business partner and hope to make a positive impact!
Class of 2020
My name is Skye Schultz and I am a Junior at Winona Senior High School. I am currently enrolled in mostly college classes at our local university, but I am still an active part of our high school with the two classes I am taking there. I am mostly interested in Social Studies classes, as I love learning from history in order to help create a better future. I am hoping to continue studying in the Humanities, and am very interested in social work.
Throughout high school I have had fun in both cross-country and soccer, but I have learned I am better suited for different things. I have kept busy with Music Listening Contest, String Quartet, Knowledge Bowl, Spanish Honors Society, and being elected to the schools Cite Team. I also enjoy working at the Winona Public Library and volunteering at the Dakota Homecoming for the last 4 years. I am especially proud of my work with the March for Our Lives movement where I was able to be a student organizer in our successful school walkout and trip to the Minnesota Capitol, as well as being a speaker at Winona’s Candle-light vigil and Winona March for Our Lives.
My time being an intern at the Advanced Law and Trial Summit for Leadership Initiatives this last summer was very influential in my life, and while I was there I knew right away that I wanted to start a team for the International Business Internship Program at my school. Being the Team Lead surrounded by such great team members and working for an amazing cause is something I am extremely grateful for. I can’t wait to watch myself and my team members grow in the next 2 years because of this opportunity.
Class of 2020
My name is Cooper Hancock and I am a Junior at Winona Senior High School. This year I am taking multiple AP classes this year, as well as an online college course. My favorite class this year would be Tech Nest, an IT internship program at our school. I enjoy learning about technology as well as how IT works in a school setting.
Outside of classes, I am Stage Manager of Drama Club, and also volunteered as stage manager for last year’s local USO Show. I have leadership experience as well, as I am a student representative on both our school’s Site Team and school district’s Curriculum Committee. I am also a member of 4-H, serving as Treasurer of the club, and President of the county Federation. For the past 4 years, I have been learning Spanish through school, and I recently have started teaching myself Norwegian.
I am very excited to be a part of the International Business Internship Program. I have spent a lot of hours looking at colleges and I believe that makes me more than qualified to be College Assistance Chair. This position will hopefully help me and the rest of the team get ready for college, and pick the right one.
Class of 2020
My name is Marissa Lindaman and this year I will be a Junior at the Winona Senior High School. I am currently taking college courses at the college, and am taking band and some AP classes at the high school. I love learning new things and expanding my knowledge in all subjects, however, my favorite subjects in school are math and chemistry!
In school, I play my alto saxophone in the jazz band and the symphonic band. I also am in honor bands and a jazz combo that I really enjoy! I am a LINK leader, and I encourage the incoming freshman to work hard in High School to achieve their goals. I am also a member of the Spanish Honor Society, Nation and Student Council. Additionally, I am a student leader, for my grade, who helps organize the Special Olympics every year. Outside of school I play Soccer, Nordic Ski, and run Track, but my favorite sport is soccer! I also work at the local pool in the summer, and I ref soccer matches. Lastly, I love to spend time with my dogs, friends, and family!
I am so honored to be part of the International Business Internship Program! I am eager to make an impact on lives around the globe, from thousands of miles away. I would like to inspire others by showing them that age doesn’t matter, and they too can leave an impact on people across the globe. I can’t wait to work with a team to problem solve, and change lives!
Class of 2020
My name is Erin Renk and I am a junior at Winona Senior High School. I am currently taking mostly PSEO classes at Winona State and AP courses. I am mostly interested in literature and history classes, as I believe they are the most useful tools to learn about the world.
I have been very involved with the tennis program the past four years, making varsity last year. Most of my spare time is spent working at the Winona Area Tennis Center after school and studying. I am also involved in knowledge bowl, the music listening competition, and am a member of the National Honor Society.
I am honored at the privilege of being in the International Business Initiatives Program. It is such an incredible opportunity to being volunteering and helping those in need while I am still in high school. I look forward to learning more and more about the program and gaining experience and skills in volunteering.
Our Business Partner: Orphan Care Program
Business Owner: Orphan Care Program
Business Location: Bauchi, Bauchi State, Nigeria
Story of the Business
The Leadership Initiatives’ Orphan Care and Independence Program began after the success of the Business Creation and Expansion Program over the last decade. After so many local business owners in the Bauchi area benefited from Leadership Initiatives International Business Internship Program, they were inspired to give back to their communities by improving the welfare of the local orphaned youth. The program aims to provide community-based rehabilitation and development interventions targeting the orphans within the communities affected by poverty and the AIDS epidemic through economic recovery, capacity building, and psychosocial support for the marginalized orphaned children.
About the Orphans
Two years ago, Mallam Adamu, a father of seven, unexpectedly died from illness, leaving four of his younger children abandoned. However, Abdulhadi Ahmad, a Leadership Initiatives’ business partner who owns a tailoring business, took responsibility of the four orphans after the success of his shop allowed him to support more children. Leadership Initiatives then partnered again with Abdulhadi to create the Orphan Care and Independence Program to provide shelter, education, and apprenticeship opportunities to local orphaned youth. The four children, Hauwa, Habiba, Hassan, and Hussaini, were joined by two other orphans (Adulmuminu and Buhari) under the care of another LI business partner, Faisal Sa’ad. These six orphans currently attend school and receive support through the LI Orphan Care Program.
Provide all orphans enrolled in the Orphan Care and Independence Program with a loving foster home and good shelter.
Provide all orphans enrolled Orphan Care and Independence Program with a quality education .
Provide all children enrolled in the Orphan Care and Independence Program with technical skills that they will gain by working with partnering businesses in our apprentice Independence Program.
Improve the nutritional status of all children involved in the Orphan Care and Independence Program.
Improved health of children in the Orphan Care and Independence Program by teaching hygiene standards and best practices.
Create awareness to the community and the outside world for the need to protect, promote, preserve, and support the vulnerable children and the orphans, including their basic human rights.
Leadership Initiatives, in partnership with Children Helping Other Children (CHOC), is in the process of constructing a new education center for the Orphan Care and Independence Program. After initial foundational construction, a groundbreaking ceremony was held on December 13, 2018 to begin phase two of the Education Center. The building is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019. This Education Center will serve up to 45 orphans in the surrounding community.
Currently, students in the Leadership Initiatives’ International Business Internship Program are working to create educational modules in basic science and technology, exploring the environment, home and school life, living things (basic plants and animal biology), non-living things (soil, water, air), English, and basic hygiene.

I recently completed training as a Prosperity Coach with the awesome Ellen Rogin. Among other things, Ellen is a CPA who believes that prosperity is not just about earning and wisely investing money. While those things are important, a positive, grateful mindset is essential to living a prosperous life.
I have always been a positive, grateful person, yet since working with Ellen, my awareness in this area has increased. I find I am noticing the little things more and one of those little things is coins. And it seems as I notice them, whether in my home or on the street, more of them come into my life.
In the past, if I would see a penny on the ground I usually wouldn’t pick it up. I’d think “I’ll just leave it there for someone else who might appreciate it more~ maybe a little kid.” Now, not only do I pick up those pennies, I truly feel grateful for them. Not for what I can buy with them, but for the symbolism behind finding them. I see it as a gift from the universe, and I gratefully receive it… and I switch my blue bracelet.
A few days ago, while doing laundry, I found a dime at the bottom of the washing machine. Now while this particular dime was obviously already mine, I still felt happy about finding it. Later that day, while walking into the grocery store, I found a dime on the ground and gratefully snatched it up. Still later, I went out for a walk and, you guessed it~ I found another dime. While 30 cents is hardly anything to celebrate…I did! I thought it was so cool that I kept finding dimes; not pennies or nickels…not just any coins… dimes!
I honestly felt grateful for that 30 cents; not for what I could buy with it, but for the symbolic significance it held for me. The truth was, money was coming to me and it seemed the more I appreciated it, the more it came. Before that day ended, I found one more dime inside my closet, and I went to sleep happy and grateful…and 40 cents richer!
The next day I was on the phone with a friend and she was teasing me about my excitement over the dimes. She suggested that perhaps I shouldn’t get so excited over such a small amount of money, because the universe might continue sending small amounts, and withhold the big stuff. It was an interesting thought and as I was responding, she said “Wait! Hold On! You are NOT going to believe this, but I just found a dime!!!”
So I’m curious… what do you do when you see money on the ground? Do you pick it up? Do you leave it for someone else to find? Do you feel grateful about it or do you think “What’s that small amount gonna do for me?” And most important, do you think it’s silly to get all kinds of excited over 4 measly dimes?

Branded Executive Resume Writer
As your job search consultant, I aim to provide you 19 creative ways to build your target company list, so you can find your own job leads. This way, you are taught how to fish and you are not be dependent on third party recruiters and job boards. Here, I expand on the target company list building examples I provided in my previous LinkedIn article (“How to Build A List of Target Companies”), and outline additional, proven steps that you can use immediately. These tactics have been used to build target company lists for current job search practice clients and when I built a recruitment practice in my earlier career. Check out this list:
(1) Create a Wish List of target companies where you have always wanted to work.
If you are going to conduct a job search, you might as well think BIG, right, and aim to work where you want to work? Think about what characteristics and accolades those target companies have that inspire you to want to work for them. When writing down those traits, use those ideas to spring board your thinking to come up with other target companies that seem to embody those same traits and philosophies.
(2) Apply The CAVAC™ Model to build your Target Company List.
What is the CAVAC™ Model? The CAVAC™ Model is a methodical, hub-and-spoke thought process that helps the job seeker create a stream of new ideas pertaining to potential companies where they may find their next position. The C’s are the company’s clients and competitors. The V is vendors. And the A’s are associations and affiliate companies that compliment the target company’s business.
For each company on your initial Wish List, place the employer or target company name in the middle of the diagram below. Then write out the clients, associations, affiliates, competitors and clients that come to mind and from your research to expand your list. Each company listed can be a possible entry on your developed target list. I will use one of my previous employers as an example, as if I was looking for a new position.
THE CAVAC™ MODEL
(3) Expand your list.
Now for each company in the CAVAC™ sections, take a blank CAVAC template and one of the companies from the outer circles into the center. For instance, put Bullhorn, the Applicant Tracking System Vendor, into the center as a Target Company, and research, who are the competitors, associations, vendors, affiliates and clients of this organization. This exercise can go on and on, ensuring you are never short on Target Companies.
(4) Cultivate leads from Industry Conference, Convention, and Trade Show literature.
Ideally if you can attend the conference live, that is always best, as you will network and start/nurture relationships with people that can help your job search, and ultimately, your career. However, practically speaking, if you are unable to attend, review the website/conference literature: Look the speaker list: Who do they work for? Review the sponsor list: who is committing advertising dollars to this conference? These are companies, by the nature of funding speaker travel and sponsorships, typically will have the philosophy and long strategic view to growth and leadership that you may be looking for and could be create candidates for your target list.
(5) Join job lead groups or form your own.
The key here is to be sure you are surrounding yourself with positive, action-driven, generosity-minded people who will exchange job leads equally based on the needs of each person in the group. These groups can be listed regionally online with State Unemployment offices or private websites, such as The Landing Expert, who has an updated list of New Jersey job search clubs citing meeting times, dates and locations.
(6) Search for blogs in your industry to build your target company list.
When identifying for blogs in the industry, there are a few ways you can use this information. If it is a corporate blog, then that company can become a target list candidate. You can make note of the employer of the blogger, if they are writing from an independent opinion. Lastly, you can look for upcoming or expanding companies discussed in the content of the articles to add to your list. And based on what you do, even companies downsizing can be job leads possibly, as well. (Yes, companies downsizing actually hire people as they are releasing some—one of the great perplexities of the employment space).
(7) Use target list building services, in addition to the LinkedIn Company Search function.
Hone in on companies that meet your company size and industry, revenue, employee size targets. Zoominfo.com, Jigsaw.com, Spoke.com and Hoovers.com are all database lead companies that provide contact lists from the companies where you want to work.
(8) Research the investments of Private Equity, Venture Capital and Angel Investor companies.
If you would like to work for a newly formed firm, a firm in its high growth stages or a firm fueled by private equity or venture capital funds, review publications like Merger & Acquisition Magazine or The Deal Pipeline. You can also access information in niche databases, such as the Mid-Atlantic Venture Capital and Private Equity Directory, as suggested by my colleague, Phil Dubinsky, CEO of Thoroughbred Private Equity Partners.
(9) Get out from behind your computer and drive around your neighborhood, especially if you are looking to have a short commute and focus on quality of life.
I have done this in my own neighborhood and, while I was very knowledgeable about companies hiring in NYC (where I worked at the time), I was amazed by all the search firms right down the block from me and in close proximity of my home in Northern NJ. I find over and over again, that job seeker clients are amazed that a major company has a field office or secondary presence in their town that they never knew of—because the job seeker was only aware of the location of the corporate headquarters.
(10) Look at your day-to-day activities. What companies do you interact with each day?
This is based on the Peter Lynch philosophy of investing (Former Fidelity Magellan Fund Manager…I know I may be dating myself here.) Go with what you know and with which you are familiar. Every company that you encounter in your daily life could be a possible lead, depending on what you do. After all, if you are a VP of Human Resources, human resources is a function in, well, every organization. Let’s be clear, whether or not a position exists, every company has someone doing an HR function. So use the obvious, available information in front of you to research if the company is a viable target company list item. For instance, you may have a local brewing company in your county. If you come from a food packaging/distribution/production background or have a hospitality/restaurant background, having your favorite brewery as a target company, and eventually your employer, could be an awesome thing!
(11) Tap the knowledge of the people you interface with each day.
Do not underestimate the power of your immediate network. Ever. For example, I have a client who simply told her hairdresser that she was looking for as an administrative manager ideally in a creative organization, to appeal to her artist side. The hairdresser had another client who she knew worked for a major publishing firm as a merchandising executive who happened to be looking for an administrative management professional. The hairdresser made the introduction to the company (that fit my friend’s company profile, but was not initially on her target list—new target company discovered!) Fast-forward two to three weeks later, she has the job.
(12) Learn about local companies in your area first hand, and not just thought online research.
Attend and consider joining your area’s local Business Association Partnerships, Chambers of Commerce, and other business-embracing organization in your city and county. The employers of the area will attend these meetings and you can meet your area’s local employment players in person.
(13) Go beyond the alumni database to capture the influence and leverage the potential offered by your college alumni network.
Subscribe to the alumni magazine. When I receive Cornell University’s Alumni Magazine, I highlight notes in the articles and class notes of where people moved to professionally to come up with ideas for job leads for my clients. The publication is meant to be a ‘who’s who’ and ‘who’s where’ meant to be leveraged in a proper manner (no spamming, of course.)
Also, consider volunteering for the membership committee for your local college alumni chapter. Having access to the local chapter members and their employers can spark ideas of where you can look for your next opportunity (again, never using the list improperly, just for brainstorming.)
(14) Look at the advertisers in the magazine and in any other online or physical industry publication.
For any industry, alumni, mainstream or professional publication (online or print), make note of the advertisers in that publication. If you are a CFO at a pharmaceutical industry, the advertisers in a pharma industry publication could be packaging companies, labeling manufacturers, professional development firms, drug security/counterfeit drug prevention firms, and drug distribution firms all who need a CFO and would be interested in your CFO pharma experience from the perspective at a company within their CAVAC™ network.
(15) Learn who is pitching your CAVAC™ network to find new companies and new industries
While you can do this exercise for any professional, if you are business development manager or VP of Sales & Marketing for an electronics firm, look at your CAVAC™ network, and reach out to select people you truest within that network, and find how who is calling them? Who is pitching services to them? Those organizations are all leads to either idea generation that will lead you to an open role or an actual open role.
(16) Search for current and previous employees of target companies in your CAVAC™ network and review the employees’ profile on LinkedIn.
Where did they work previously? What is going on with that previous employer now? Ask yourself if those companies are worthy to be on your Target List. To take an extra step with this information, if you are within three degrees of this target company’s former employee, consider asking for an introduction to determine if you can obtain any information about the hiring process.
(17) Where there is smoke, there is fire. Use job boards as information portals, and not just job portals.
Some say applying online can be futile, and I do not disagree. However, online job postings are an indicator of who is hiring. So if you discover a great company through an online job posting, but it is not the right job for you, use it as evidence that the company is hiring. If they are hiring sales managers, consider approaching the company outlining how you are an exceptional client service director and correlate how your accomplishments can become an asset to the prospective firm. Don’t wait for the job opening to become available—use what is there to craft your own proposal.
(18) Search for companies hiring and expanding.
Do Google Searches and set up Google Alerts on terms like “downsized” (this is an important term to search on if you are looking for consulting work), “hiring staff”, “expanding operations” and other like terms, combined with your zip code and/or industry, to unearth companies in the news that are doing these activities. The movement activities these companies are performing are ripe for new perspectives and additional talent to execute the plan at hand.
(19) Get extra value from your professional development coursework.
Look at where your fellow students work. Based on the information they share about their employer in case studies and lab work, does it give you a warm and fuzzy feeling? Would you want to work there? Network with your fellow students and see where the opportunity takes you.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but a great start. It is also yet another lesson that information can always be updated, improved and represented in a more effective way to ensure you, the job seeker, has the most current, practical tactics to persevere in your job search!
