LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A friendship could be put in jeopardy if you place more emphasis on your pal's material worth rather than his or her inner being. Money can't buy true comradeship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others aren't likely to tolerate it if you try to impose your views or opinions on them. Unfortunately, you might not even realize it if and when you are being unduly assertive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It behooves you not to make any promises that you might not be able to keep. For the sake of harmony in a quality relationship, you would be better off bowing out now rather then reneging later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Regardless of how well thought out it may be, this might not be one of your better days for taking a risky financial gamble. Let things rest a bit before going out on a limb and doing something impulsive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Much to the dismay of your family and friends, you sometimes feel it necessary to champion an unpopular cause. This might be one of those days when you'll do so again, with similar results.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who has crossed swords with you several times might once again engage you in some fencing. Keep in mind that this person's temper can be as short as yours.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don't allow any kind of brashness to take precedence over your common sense. Your chances of coming out ahead, especially in a financial matter, are slim to none.

On opening day, Julio Teheran continued his dominance against the Mets. But the Braves continued their trend of not scoring when he pitches, wasting a strong Teheran performance before their bullpen came apart in a 6-0 opening-day loss at Citi Field on Monday.
Teheran pitched six scoreless innings but the Mets blew the game open with six runs in the five-walk seventh, scoring first on a challenged and reversed call, then opening the floodgates against relievers who couldn’t throw strikes, to the delight of a sellout crowd of 44,384.
Freddie Freeman had three hits for the Braves, who went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and twice failed to score after getting two runners on base with one out and also after Freeman’s one-out triple in the fourth inning.
Relievers Ian Krol, Chaz Role and Eric O’Flaherty issued five walks in the seventh inning including three by O’Flaherty, who walked Neil Walker to load the bases and walked Jay Bruce to bring in the third run of the inning. That was followed by Lucas Duda’s bases-clearing double against O’Flaherty.
Krol allowed a single by Rene Rivera to start the inning before Wilmer Flores grounded into a force at second. Krol then walked Jose Reyes before Asdrubal Cabrera singled to center for his third hit.
Flores tried to score from second base on the play and Inciarte made a strong throw to the plate, but the initial out ruling was challenged and overturned after replays showed Flores’ foot touched the plate just before catcher Tyler Flowers’ tagged him. Flowers fielded the throw behind the plate and had to reach to get...
Roe replaced Krol and walked the only batter he faced, Yoenis Cespedes, to load the bases. Next was O’Flaherty, who made the team as a non-roster invitee to spring training after an outstanding showing in Grapefruit League play. Curtis Granderson’s sacrifice fly off O’Flaherty gave the Mets a 2-0 lead before O’Flaherty...
Teheran and Noah Syndergaard staged a scoreless pitchers duel for six innings, with Syndergaard limiting the Braves to five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts before leaving the game with a blister on top of his middle finger.
The Braves had two prime opportunities to take a lead against Syndergaard. Freeman tripled with one out in the fourth inning, but Matt Kemp and Nick Markakis both struck out to strand him at third.
In the sixth inning, one-out singles from Dansby Swanson and Freeman put runners on the corners, before Kemp struck out swinging at a Syndergaard slider and Markakis lined out to left field to end the inning.
Teheran, in his fourth consecutive opening-day start, matched Syndergaard with six scoreless innings and got no run support, a familiar theme from 2016. In an All-Star season, Teheran was just 7-10 despite a 3.21 ERA as the Braves gave him just 3.35 support runs per nine innings pitched, second-lowest among major leagu...
Against the Mets, Teheran is 3-0 with 0.63 ERA in his past six starts going back to June 2015, but the Braves are only 3-3 in those games, failing to score while he was in two of them and scoring one run while he was in another.
Teheran is 5-2 with a 1.49 ERA in his past 10 starts against the Mets, including 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in four last season. He pitched a one-hit shutout June 19 at Citi Field, facing only 28 batters (one over the minimum), and pitched eight scoreless innings against them six days later in Atlanta.
The Mets had more than one runner reach base in just one inning Monday against Teheran.
With 2:04 left in the third period, the Massachusetts club hockey team faced a four-on-three penalty. The Minutemen escaped both penalties unscathed and the game went into overtime with the score deadlocked at three.
Northeastern (10-5-2) won the opening faceoff, but UMass (11-10-3) picked the puck up in the neutral zone. Sophomore forward Cam Fisher took a shot from the right faceoff circle and beat Huskies goaltender Zachary Webert blocker side (his second goal of the game) giving the Minutemen a 4-3 victory in overtime Saturday ...
“I was talking to one of my teammates before, Rob Tirea, and I told him to shoot the puck into the zone and kind of got a handle of it, stole it from the [defense] and went in and deked the goalie,” Fisher said.
Fisher said he didn’t expect the puck to go in, that he was just trying to get a good jump on the Huskies early in overtime, but was happy it went in regardless. UMass finished with 35 shots on the game.
After UMass went up 1-0 early in the first period on a goal by Terrence Doonan, Northeastern’s Ian Penvose tied the game at 1-1 less than four minutes into the second period. Five minutes later, the Huskies scored again off the stick of Andrew Bradano, giving them a 2-1 lead 8:48 into the period.
UMass tied it up when Fisher scored off a feed from senior forward Scott Campbell to even the score at 2-2.
“I was expecting a pass from one of my teammates and it ended up going off the defenseman’s skate and in,” Fisher said.
Northeastern went up early in the third period when Joseph Verespej scored the Huskies’ third goal three minutes into the period. UMass senior forward Adam Kmetz scored a minute later to tie the game at three.
Coach Mike DeFazio was in Philadelphia on a business trip, but assistant coach Scott Cooke stepped in and took the role that DeFazio left during the weekend series.
DeFazio is expected to be back for next weekend’s games.
Another noticeable difference for the Minutemen was the absence of transfer Garrett Torrico, a player DeFazio had looked forward to using on the power play going forward.
According to Cooke, Torrico has withdrawn from the program due to personal reasons. It has not been determined whether or not he will return to the team this season.
UMass goalie Ryan LaCroix started in goal both games this weekend for the Minutemen and stood on his head Saturday, stopping 28 of Northeastern’s 31 shots.
On Friday night, UMass traveled to Keene State in a rematch from the previous weekend when they fell to the Owls at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham.
The Minutemen came out with a tight 2-1 victory off the strength of two early goals.
Next weekend, UMass plays its final home games of the regular season. The first is on Friday at 8:00 p.m. against Connecticut and the second Saturday at 8:30 p.m. against Vermont.
Careers I write about the changing nature of work, workers and the workplace.
Creativity is a critical job skill, but it is apparently an increasingly scarce resource. According to studies, fully 61% of leaders don’t believe their companies are creative enough. In addition, in a recent study, 77% of people say they believe creativity is a critical job skill for the 21st century, but 69% of peopl...
While it is a scarce resource, creativity’s importance cannot be overstated. It is fuel for innovation which is in turn fuel for company growth. Creativity is, of course, the potential to create new ideas and the raw material of brainstorming, new thinking and ideation. Innovation, distinguished from creativity, is def...
As a society, we face increasingly thorny problems. But, how will we solve them without crucial creativity and innovation skills?
Great design, inspired by design thinking methodologies, starts with people and a deep understanding of the user experience. With a high level of empathy for what the user is experiencing and the problem they are trying to solve, companies can motivate creativity and innovation.
Empathy means understanding what’s important to people and understanding their struggles. Consider five examples of cool new innovations that address people, their needs and their challenges.
Human connection and communication. Fundamental to our human experience is connection and idea exchange. Researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle have invented a cutting edge device that allows people to transmit thoughts to each other’s brains directly.
Community is critical. People also seek community and togetherness. To solve urban problems of loneliness and resource availability, the Danish company CPH Containers is creating seaside communities through the use of shipping containers.
Quality of life. Quality of life and freedom from pain are required for us to be our best. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles have innovated a new pain management strategy in which patients wear VR googles (think: experience sunbathing or flying over Iceland) resulting in a 24% reduction in pain.
Meeting basic needs. Basic needs fundamental to human survival can potentially be met in new ways using an innovative approach from Iron Ox in which food can be grown in a totally autonomous environment. The solution has significant implications for improving the global food supply.
Being part of the whole. Humans need a connection to nature and to be part of our broader world. In addition, healthy ecological systems require a diversity of species. A new app pioneered by researchers at Michigan State University uses facial recognition to track endangered species.
Great new innovations start with a focus on people and an understanding of their needs, conditions and challenges. From these, leaders and companies can not only motivate creativity and innovation, but can also ensure new innovations have a positive impact on people and communities. That’s the power of empathy.
“It may be worthwhile pointing out that from time to we have had to defer accepting donors from other jurisdictions due to health concerns and international regulations,” Clark said as she added that giving blood was an amazing opportunity for each of us to play a part in saving the life of a friend, neighbour, co-work...
(CNS): While rock fans may be disappointed, Cayman radio listeners now have a choice when it comes to morning talk-shows with the introduction of a new breakfast chat show on 96.5 CAYROCK. Following long speculation that dms broadcasting would be introducing its own phone-in talk show to compete with Rooster’s long sta...
Although, dms station Hot 104 has aired an afternoon talk show in the past, this is its first full breakfast phone in, and the morning shows will be hosted by media veteran Cynthia Hew and “Snap Monkhouse” as well as a second pair of hosts, young Caymanians Victor Crumbley and Carolina Ferriera. The programme will be p...
Hew (pictured above), who is a familiar local TV personality, said she was thrilled about her involvement in Cayman’s newest talk live radio broadcast. “We know that talk radio isn’t a new concept to Cayman, but Talk Live @ 96.5 boasts a new and unique approach. Our aim is to explore both sides of every story and addre...
Bryan Hollenbaugh, dms Broadcasting’s market manager said he was excited about the prospects of providing something not previously heard in the market, though he did not exactly say what the difference was. “This is about offering radio that addresses ‘real issues’ and engages in ‘real talk’ with reliable consults and ...
However, Hollenbaugh said listeners have suggested dms Broadcasting enter into this foray for some time. “So we’ve opted to oblige, and have found a dynamic group of advocates to take up the issues,” he added."
Snap Monkhouse, lead anchor at the new Talk Live @ 96.5, also said the show was about “the issues” although he also said it was about “peeling back the onion to get to the heart of matters”.
Monkhouse promised the show would deal with decision makers and experts and ask the tough questions.
The show, which airs between 7-9am, replacing the music, will also be supported by its own website www.talklive.ky featuring various international and local newsfeeds, covering everything from business to entertainment, dms said, with online streaming and podcasts.
dms Broadcasting, “operates four radio stations: 96.5 CAYROCK, HOT 104.1, 106.1 KISS FM, and X107.1 and is a subsidiary of dms Organization Ltd., a business conglomerate engaged in the financial services, real estate and media industries.

Compared to other mammals, humans produce relatively low numbers of viable sperm – sperm capable of making that long competitive swim to penetrate an unfer...
(CNS): The National Trust for the Cayman Islands is celebrating the Caribbean Endemic Bird Festival with a host of events to show off Grand Cayman’s bird population and to raise awareness about the importance of bird and habitat conservation.. The festival, which is taking place throughout the Caribbean, began 22 April...
(CNS): Government has now introduced a new category of a twenty-five year residency right in Cayman for wealthy individuals who invest $2.4 million in a business that employs at least 50% Caymanians. The amendment to the Immigration law to introduce a Certificate of Direct Investment was brought to the Legislative Asse...
He said his government was firmly of the view that the economy and therefore the people of the Cayman Islands benefited from the money brought by foreign investors and it was the UDP policy to offer them more incentives to attract more investment.
Bush explained the changes and said that the regulations with the law would provide for those worth some $6 million or more who invested in excess of $2.4 million to buy this certificate for $20,000, which would give them and their dependants the right to reside in the Cayman Islands and work in their business without ...
The individuals in question would need to have a clean police record and a clean bill of health with insurance coverage for themselves and their dependants living here. The investors would need to be employed by their own business or the business in which the investor was a partner and demonstrate the expertise to mana...
Bush said it must be the sort of business that would have a positive impact on the Cayman economy and, above all, half the workforce would need to be Caymanian. Bush said it was not an automatic Trade and Business Licence and the person would still have to apply for that or a Local Companies Licence if the investor did...
Following the premier’s presentation of the amendment the opposition questioned the need and asked for the motive behind the introduction of such a certificate. They also asked why the regulations had not been presented with the law as it referred to them extensively. Having only received a copy of the amendment to the...
The third elected member for George Town, Alden McLaughlin, raised his concerns when he queried the real purpose of the proposal as he suggested the same end could be achieved already through a less complex route.
McLaughlin said residency was already attainable under the present law and all the recipient would get under this amendment was the right to live here and work in his own business.
The PPM’s East End representative, Arden McLean, suggested it may open the floodgates for foreign investors and lead to some Caymanians being put out of business. Ezzard Miller also raised some questions about the issue of management control and the risky proposition of being refused an LCC or T&B, which he felt was no...
Backing the amendment, Education Minister Rolston Anglin accused the opposition benches of pursuing a continual theme of trying to smear government by suggesting that it had something to hide. The minister said the provision was in the law in the past and the PPM had removed it because they said no one had applied but,...
“For the life of me I cannot see why it is so necessary … to have … them … try to spread doubt about our motives,” he added.
Rolston asked if the opposition had any idea how they were viewed by the business community because of their anti-foreign and anti-business rhetoric. He said it was important to give investors incentives. “We are not going to get sidelined by rumour and innuendo,” Anglin added.
Any alleged parliamentary camaraderie that had existed between the members on Wednesday morning at the Legislative Assembly prayer breakfast had already been dispensed with during the exchanges about the amendment to the PMFL and as the politicians debated long into the night.
Responding to the opposition as he closed the debate on the Immigration Law Amendment, Bush appeared to be outraged by the PPM’s suggestion there was an ulterior motive. And following the earlier heated exchanges things became even more acrimonious when he accused the opposition of using the same old bag of tricks.
“Why try to create the impression of wrong doing?” he asked, suggesting they were trying to portray themselves as lily white before he accused them of "atrocities" during their term. He asked rhetorically if the PPM’s accusations were the language of co-operation before he said they were throwing cold water on everythi...
The bill was passed after committee stage and a third reading at around midnight and the House was adjourned sine die.
On 1 May, there will be mini-tournaments involving Cayman and Bermudian players. On 2 May, Bermuda will face Cayman in four Youth Internationals (U10, U12, U14, U16) which will be followed by a Men’s Full International test match where Bermuda will play Cayman in a full International Rugby Board sanctioned Test match.
The premier noted that previous budget speeches were delivered by the financial secretary, but since it would now be delivered by the minister of finance the focus would be broader, with concerns going beyond issues of financial management to issues of leadership as well.
Day three and I’d already forgotten about the elf. The ‘Elf on the Shelf’. By now, most of you have familiarized yourselves with the latest Christmas craze. I say latest, but to be fair, they’ve been around for a few years, picking up steam each holiday season.
The brainchild of a creative mama, they’re now a million dollar business; tiny, stuffed elves who make their “appearance” on December 1. Not to be touched by their chosen child (or it loses its magic), the elf sits in a new location each day, returning at night to the North Pole. Naughty? Nice? Santa learns it all from...
Every morning, upon its return from the North Pole, the elf (in our case named ‘Ella’), presents itself in a new and often hilarious location.
I can’t count the times I was just about to nod off when I realized I’d forgotten my nightly duty. Half asleep I’d try to come up with something clever, only to awake to my daughter sharing her disappointment for the elf’s simple hiding place. The daily selection process … determining its next location … isn’t easy. Pa...
I knew my elfing days were over when I neglected my duties on just the third day. While I put forward a very believable and rational explanation (I had stayed awake all night, so the elf couldn’t leave her perch. All mom’s fault. Perfectly logical.) It was clear this year’s responsibility needed to be passed on.
My loving hubby was quick to take the reins and has already surpassed all of my previous efforts. Armed with supplies, he’s taken this thing to another level. My daughter is thrilled. Three days in a row now she’s woken an hour early, just to search for her friend. Watching her excitement is the best part of our day, a...
A quick internet search and you’ll discover elves involved in all kinds of shenanigans. They toilet paper Christmas trees, tie up toys, bungee jump, and eat candy. The best elf presentations are the grown up versions. Elves perched atop an empty bottle of vodka, or sitting shotgun in the Barbie car doing things it real...
I’m really perplexed at my daughter’s genuine love for this elf. She can’t touch it or play with it. It doesn’t talk or do any of the things that most of her toys will do. In fact, the only thing Ella does, is race to the North Pole to rat on her. I wouldn’t share the same affection in her shoes.
I guess it’s the magic of it all. The fun energy created in the process of every night’s adventure, and every morning’s reveal. Oh—and us Christmas folk aren’t the only ones in on the fun. I see ‘Mensch on a Bench’ has made an arrival just in time for Hanukkah.
Watch RNC attendees praise Melania Trump and Winston Churchill (VIDEO).
*Just kidding, it’s really Winston Churchill’s.
In the wake of the plagiarism scandal surrounding Melania Trump’s cribbing of Michelle Obama’s words, RNC attendees were quick to defend their nominee’s wife. Facts appeared to be somewhat optional in the defense of her opening night speech. That being the case, we hit the streets outside the convention hall, and asked...
The video above shows what we heard in response to the stirring section of Melania’s speech in which she talks about fighting in the hills, and on the beaches, and how we will never surrender.
Health activists and civil society organisations have commended the state health minister's decision to set up a multi-stakeholder committee to formulate the Maharashtra Clinical Establishment Act and pass it in the next budget assembly session in February-March 2014.
