This granola and I have quite the history. It’s gone through many adaptations and I’ve even shared it with Total Foods in Tokyo, Japan. Granola has always been one of my favorite types of cereals. I live for the crunchy clustery goodness it provides. However, granola is usually filled with different types of unwanted syrups (hello corn or soy), and preservatives I’m not a fan of.
I wanted to create a granola that had healthy fats, potassium, fiber, and plant protein. All of which this granola has. It’s naturally semi sweet due to the infusion of banana that’s baked into the oats, and it definitely doesn’t taste artificial like some commercial granolas do. Not to mention, the heaping amount of cinnamon that’s in there also helps regulate blood sugar as well.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, nuts (I break mine up or buy them in pieces), chia/flaxseed, hemp seeds, and coconut sugar.
In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Once it’s melted, add the mashed banana, and maple syrup until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Pour the saucepan mixture over the large bowl of dry ingredients. Stir, stir, stir.
Spread mixture evenly onto 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure that the granola isn’t overcrowded. I usually pat it down with my hands to ensure that everything is clumped together without leaving gaps in the spread.
Bake for 24-28 minutes. You want to keep an eye on the oven. It’s really easy to burn granola. If you want large clusters, avoid tossing the granola while it’s baking.
Once the granola is visibly browned, take it out of the oven.
Once completely cooled, hand-break your granola, add in the coconut flakes, dried goji and wild blueberries. Keep in mind the toppings can be personalized. I tend to always use coconut flakes, goji and wild blueberries for their antioxidant properties but feel free to do add whatever in!
Store in an airtight container and enjoy for a couple weeks or so.

Perhaps “fire a client” were not the best choice of words for this headline. “How to end a business relationship with grace,” is probably the more tactful and preferred headline.
Business relationships are intended to be mutually beneficial. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, people find themselves in situations where it is not a win-win, mutually-satisfying scenario. It is important, in both life and business, that we recognize when a relationship has potential and when it may not. It is far better to be honest, transparent, and astute enough to recognize when a relationship has run its course and devise an exit strategy so both parties can walk away with grace.
My goal is always to part ways with grace, not disgrace. Particularly because while we may not be a good fit at this moment, we may want to work together sometime in the future, so I want to ensure that I don’t burn bridges and instead, leave options open for the future.
Back in the day, when I was first getting started, I was anxious to get traction, acquire new clients, and grow the business. Often, in the beginning, you don’t really have standards for what is a good client, a bad client, or the right client. The same could be true of employees and partners. When you are first starting out, you may not know what direction you want to pursue, what may interest you, what may be in demand, or what might be more or less profitable. So, you try everything, do anything, and serve everybody and anybody.
Over time, if you are good or successful at some aspects of your business, you might reach a point where you have more work than you can handle, more clients than you can handle, and find yourself in a bit over your head. You might find that you are dropping some balls, missing some deadlines, not keeping up with customer expectations, and letting some people down.
This is the point where you may need to decide if you are going to scale up or prune down. We have done both. While scaling up may seem to be the obvious choice, it’s not always the best. Scaling up and growing fast can be hard, risky, painful, and expensive. If you are not careful, you might drop a glass ball and not be able to recover that stellar reputation you worked so hard to create.
Not in this particular business but in a prior business, I reached this point where we simply had way too many clients that we could handle. We hired too quickly and brought in some employees and partners that we probably should not have acquired. We were too busy to give new employees a proper on-boarding transition and the right training, tools, and environment to succeed. So, of course, most of them failed to perform to their potential.
It was certainly easy to point a finger at a new employee who just made one too many mistakes and blame their incompetence and experience. It is a lot harder to look at yourself and wonder what I could have done to have given that new employee all the tools, training, information, support, and the environment necessary for them to have succeeded and reached their potential.
When we found ourselves in this situation way back when, I made a pretty radical decision, which most of my employees and partners vehemently disagreed with but, in hindsight, turned out to be one of the best business decisions I have ever made in my life. I created a VIP client criteria. I ranked all my clients according to that criteria. Then, I terminated my relationships with all clients that did not meet this VIP criteria. I did the same thing for my employees.
In the end, we cut the number of clients and employees by about 75%. With only 25% of the remaining employees, we focused on serving the remaining 25% of clients. But, we were determined to serve them well, do things the right way, and be extraordinarily thorough and professional in everything we did.
It made all the difference in the world. For one, we discovered that we could generate the same amount of revenue with fewer clients because we were able to serve them better and generate more repeat business and bigger contracts. In addition, we were able to pay all of our employees better and have a bigger budget for our own training, travel, technology, and benefits, which created a more qualified, happier, and well-rounded workforce. Morale increased, stress reduced, customer satisfaction increased, stupid mistakes reduced, profit increased, and turnover reduced.
There is this book out there called, The Pumpkin Plan: A simple strategy to grow a remarkable business in any field, by Mike Michalowicz. This book gave me the confidence and insight to make this somewhat risky and radical decision to prune my clients and employees. Having been in business for over 20 years, having founded or co-founded half a dozen startups, I can honestly say that pruning my clients was one of the single best decisions, if not the best business decision, that I have ever made.

CENTRE – The failure of the state Legislature to pass a bill to regulate wind energy projects in Alabama before adjourning last week means a pair of local bills will go into effect this summer in Cherokee and Etowah counties.
SB12, a statewide bill introduced by Sen. Phil Williams, R-Rainbow City, would have established an regulatory process for the construction of wind turbine in most of Alabama’s 67 counties. The bill failed to come up for a vote before the 2014 regular session ended Thursday night.
Williams was able to pass a pair of local bills (SB402 and SB403) in March that establish guidelines for constructing wind turbines in Cherokee and Etowah counties, respectively. Since SB12, which would have superseded those bills, did not pass, SB402 and SB403 will go into effect July 1.
The bills set up a local approval process for wind energy projects. In Cherokee County, the County Commission will have the final say on which projects may proceed.
A spokesman for Pioneer Green Energy, which is planning two wind turbines projects in northeast Alabama–one each in Cherokee and Etowah counties–decried the passage of the local bills.
On Friday, Sen. Williams told The Post he isn’t finished working on behalf of people who oppose unrestricted wind energy projects in Alabama.
Buckley said Pioneer Green is still assessing its options for how best to proceed on its projects, including an eight-turbine farm near Leesburg. He is hopeful that the Legislature can pass a more equitable statewide law in the 2015 regular session.
Buckley said Cherokee County residents who applaud the local bills may not be as happy about their passage after they find out exactly what they contain.
Probate Judge Kirk Day, who also chairs the County commission, said the commissioners are still getting familiar with the new law and their subsequent new responsibilities.

He visited the college on Monday lunchtime. I also filmed a short interview with him, which you can find here. This is the speech he gave.
Nearly 3,500 students in Hackney receive the Education Maintenance Allowance of up to £30 a week to help and encourage them to stay on in education. It seems to have worked, yet the government intends to scrap it. Not good.

Psychologist and author Susan Tanner has some advice for recognising and beating the blues.
According to Beyond Blue, three million Australians are living with depression or anxiety.
But what is depression? And what are the signs?
This article and attached interview are general in nature and shouldn't be taken as personal professional advice, if you are experiencing mental health problems visit your medical practitioner.
"Depression is when you have persistent inability to enjoy your life as you should basically, that can range from mild obviously all the way to where a person becomes unable to function and even unable to get out of bed," Dr Tanner said.
"It's an inability to feel motivated, a loss of pleasure, it can be a loss of faith in the future, a loss of feeling of optimism, that there's nothing to look forward to and that can turn into feelings of hopelessness and despair."
Dr Tanner said anxiety is often an early sign of depression.
A loss of confidence, ability to enjoy things that were once pleasurable and waking up with a feeling of dread or inability to face the day can also be signs.
Physical symptoms can also be experienced, such as heart palpitations, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite and weight.
Dr Tanner said seeking help as early as possible is important, rather than attempting to "soldier on".
"It's a good idea to speak to someone early.
"If you've had a persistent or obvious change in your mood that's lasted a month or two it's a good idea to speak to somebody unless there is an obvious region like losing your job.
"If you can't seem to see an obvious reason for your feelings go and talk to someone or do a bit of reading."
Those who think a friend or family member may be experiencing depression should broach the topic very carefully.
"It's very important to approach in a supportive way and perhaps comment on things that you've noticed yourself, for example 'I noticed that when we were out last time you didn't seem to enjoy yourself, do you want to talk about anything that's going on?'."
Some people are more susceptible to experiencing depression than others.
"I know it sounds like a clichbut your childhood had a lot to do with it, the sort of parenting you had had a lot to do with it and if you experienced abuse, trauma or the loss of a parent you can be more at risk," Dr Tanner said.
"There are also personality factors that come into it, perfectionists those who set high standards for themselves, if you have low self esteem, your ability to communicate and ability to be assertive about your feelings."
Dr Tanner's number one piece of advice is to be kind to yourself and act as your own best friend.

Before you embark upon the entire article below, just take a minute to review the headline above and just take this next phrase into account. Hint…it’s a lot. Kobe Bryant’s unprecedented jersey retirement marked the first time an NBA player has had two numbers retired with the same franchise and in the 20 months since Kobe’s 60-point farewell, the Black Mamba’s big day Monday night spawned $824,000 in merchandise from AEG alone across four locations: Staples Center, online sales, New Era store and the Lakers store in El Segundo. Yes, 8-24.
But just to put this into perspective…it does not even come close to the AEG revenue from Kobe’s April 2016 farewell; roughly $1.9 million.

The Saptek® Drying Optimizer provides a completely automatic method of sorting lumber into two groups based on moisture content.
The overall results mean more uniform packages in terms of drying characteristics. Therefore, kilns will be easier to operate and moisture content after drying will be more uniform.
The Saptek® Drying Optimizer utilizes an alcohol-based chemical reagent that is sprayed on the end of the lumber. A vision system analyzes the color of the chemical reaction to determine whether the piece of lumber belongs to the group requiring longer drying time (fir) or the group requiring shorter drying time (spruce and pine).
Made in accordance with FPInnovations licence. Patented in Canada and USA.

Friday 12 Apr Among the guests on Graham's sofa tonight are double Academy Award-winner Sally Field, actor Bill Pullman, "Bodyguard" star Keeley Hawes and actor/comedian Matt Lucas. Plus music from The Lumineers.
The irrepressible Graham Norton is back showcasing his wickedly cheeky sense of humour and fast-paced interview show, aptly titled, The Graham Norton Show.
Fast-tracked directly from the UK, The Graham Norton Show features hilarious interviews with some of the most well-known faces in the world.
Unlike most talk shows, all guests are on the couch at once, glass of wine in hand, making it feel more like a dinner party than a live television broadcast.
The show is all about the stuff you won’t see on the news – from guests’ anecdotes through to the sillier stories buzzing around the wires to unique quirks and obsessions of the Norton audience; it’s all here.
Now in its thirteenth season, viewers get a glimpse of their favourite stars and musicians not normally seen during any other interview, making for spontaneous and hilarious results.
Having built up a reputation as a daring, mischievous and quick-witted interviewer, Graham Norton has secured interviews with a plethora of the world’s most interesting people.

The coach was around that early Saturday morning and we were divided into groups for the drill, the task was to charge the player in the opposing team, to outrun,or beat him to picking the ball from the center of the court.
I looked across at my opponent, he was a 'big man'.. physically more built, stronger and taller than I was, my heart shrank... a thousand thoughts raced through my mind in those few seconds before the whistle blew; thoughts of not being able to outwit ,or outrun him...but then I pull in the guru within and switched to the possibility channel but those two channels seemed to battle for airtime simultaneously ..
I reminded myself how none of us -my opponent and I , had ever been in this moment in time before now,even his many games would not matter to me right now at this very second and I was just not going to defeat myself before the game. We both had equal chances, I was going to play to win, above all I was going to enjoy this drill.
'Phew!' the whistle went off and we both ran towards the ball and engaged in a tussle, as it appeared we both reached and touched the ball at the same time,then...there was just this split second, when there seemed to be so much time within a second, I decided the ball was mine,even when it seemed I was losing my grip on the ball, I held it more and pulled it out tightly ,running back with all the energy I had- and I have so much of it with lots of confidence. Then, I began to hear the cheering and the applause from other players, I had the ball at last.
It was just a drill, but to me, I was so much glad i did not entertain the thoughts or doubts at the crucial seconds that mattered most.
Often times we allow past experiences, wrong opinions, negativity to weigh us down, we give them the power to stop us or pull us down, this should not be so, rather we need to look for a million reasons to believe in ourselves and even if we find none ( but if you look deep enough you will find many), you need to just believe in You,be your own number one fan and cheer leader.
We need to always program our subconscious mind with lots of positive and motivational contents.
I use affirmations of great things family, friends, or relatives have said to me or concerning me, most importantly I confess and repeat what God has said concerning me in the scriptures. By constantly affirming, meditating, visualizing pictures of success and replaying memories of past successes, I deliberately change my state and love myself more, just the way I am.
I like to know how you listen to or use your subconscious to change your own experiences?

First the older one fall ill. It’s confirmed – he has dengue fever. Off I rush to go and nurse him for a few days. He is so weak that when the platelets begin to rise, I bring him back home to recover. He has lost so much weight. Initially he didn’t even have energy to drink, and he lost his appetite. Thankful that he is now recovered though he is still below his weight before he fell ill.
Not long after, the second one comes home for holidays, and on the second day, he cuts himself while playing frisbee on the beach. Three stitches later, he has to slow right down, even use crutches a for a few days, and has to have Momma nurse him in a different way – daily dressings!
Wow what an eventful time my two Arrows have had! Momma has been quite stretched too. But thankfully, all’s well that ends well.

Prospects for soccer next season are exceptionally bright. New leagues are being formed in different sections of the country, the shipbuilding yards and munitions plants realizing that the game is a great recreation for the spectators at a time when no other open air games can be played. The National League will be the premier in the east and will be composed of eight of the strongest clubs playing the game. Bethlehem Steel will be represented by an exceptionally strong team next season and several new players will be seen in the Bethlehem lineup. Soccer will receive an international tinge by the appearance this fall of a team representing Belgium. There is no doubt but that the National Champions will be their main opponent after a series of three games will be arranged.

Ecuador-based architecture practice Emilio López Arquitecto has built a double-opening house situated on a hill to provide view to different sides of the area in Quito, Ecuador.
Named Casa Don Juan, the house, covering a total of 110-square-metre, is located on top of a hill, which is very close to the sea. The house is oriented east-west directions and has 'openings' to these two sides: the front facade facing the sea, and the rear facade looks at a small native forest.
The double-opening allows cross ventilation and generates an important relationship with the environment, an indispensable requirement for the client.
The architects used the idea of double opening to give a shape to the architecture of the building that is conceived as two 'funnels' that converge on one of its sides.
The house has a very simple program scattered in two floors withs open areas that are interconnected by double heights. On the ground floor, there are living room, dining room, kitchen and a bathroom.
On the upper floor, two rooms are placed and facing a double height facing the sea. On the back side, another double height windows is opened up facing with the staircase.
The whole structure is built from wood found in the area: Amarillo and Asta. The roof is made of a flat fiber cement panel and the facades of the building is covered by bamboo board and plastered to to give a sense of warmness. This allows a very warm materiality towards the interior without compromising the protection of the house towards the outside.

I started with a sheet of Marion Smith Designs "Garment District" - 'He Said' and ' Picture Perfect' - the second has the images I have fussy cut!
When I saw the circle in the sketch I knew I had this delicate Scrapmatt's design "Layered Frame" so I set about giving it a little colour! It comes as two pieces (you could even use each separately!) - the base was heat embossed with Tinby Metallic Melkts (pink and gold) and the top a shabby layer of gesso... which I painted onto the base paper! This was then sprinkled with Stampendous Sprinkles and heated till set!
To finish embellishing there is a Manor House Creations flower, Prima (Something Blue range) My2Angels Gardenias, 5 point star flower stems & variegated leaves, A couple of leftover Miss Rose & Sister Violet blooms, and some filler bits from my little box!!

Mark ‘Chumley’ Singer is a man who seems to be successful at whatever he puts his mind to. He helped raise more than $1,000,000 for the fight against HIV/AIDS by creating and co-hosting Philly’s GayBINGO! He served as Creative Director for the Millennium Philadelphia celebration, the openings of the Liberty Bell Pavilion and National Constitution Center, and the Salvador Dali Experience at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He even worked with the Philadelphia Eagles football team for seven seasons. Since 2003, Mark has been organizing Chumley's BearCruises - cruise ship getaways for gay bears. They seem to grow more popular every year.
We asked Mark about Chumley's BearCruises.
What is Chumley's BearCruises and how did it get started?
After attending some traditional 'bear runs' and finding the vibe not quite what I had hoped for, I started inviting fellow members of the bear community to join me on the first Chumley's BearCruise sailing in the fall of 2003. Our goal has always been to create a warm and friendly environment for all types of guys who were looking for a fun, welcoming and affordable vacation with time to really get to know their fellow travelers.
What is a Bear and how many attend your cruises?
I suspect you can ask 10 guys to define what a 'bear' is and get about 25 different answers! To me, a member of the bear community (including the complete menagerie of bears/cubs/chubs/musclebears/etc, as well as those who prefer not to be labeled at all) is someone who doesn't judge others based on superficial things like what they wear, what shape they are in, or their social status... but rather likes to get to know their brothers (and sisters!) before making any such judgments.
We currently do two annual sailings; a smaller group in the spring which is generally limited to under 100 guests for those seeking a bit of a more chill group, and the popular large group each fall which usually is comprised of 400 - 450 or so guests, most often including members from 35+ US states and 7 to 10 other countries.
What does a Chumley's BearCruise group do on a cruise?
Well the fun actually starts when you sign up, as our guests become members of a private online group just for those on that particular sailing, which gives them an opportunity to seek a cabin mate, chat with old friends, ask about tips and advice, and of course make new friends before ever heading to our departure city.
Our Bon Voyage parties in the departure city have become one of the largest bear events of the year in those towns as so many amazing guys show up to see our group off, and the fun continues once aboard the ship with private cocktail parties, an exclusive dinner area reserved for our CBC group, wonderful private dance parties with music provided by DJ Zack of Chicago, and even private optional in-port excursions tailored just for our guests.
The nice thing about a cruise vacation is that whether you're single, a couple or a group of buddies, everyone can be as active or as inactive as they like - and all still be together at the end of the day!
What are some positive things you have heard from participants?
We've had more than 15 Chumley's BearCruises since 2003, so there have been literally thousands of guests, and I could write a book with the wonderful experiences and anecdotes over the years.
One in particular that always sticks with me, and provides inspiration all year long, is a guest who cornered me one night and sat me down to tell me that although he had tried a few other bear events, he always felt ignored because he didn't seem to fit into any 'cliques' but in our group he had made new friends from the moment he joined - including some he felt would be friends for the rest of his life.
As tears started to roll down his cheek he told me this had been the first time he had felt comfortable being in public without his shirt on since he was in high school, and that being so welcomed made him feel like he had found his family at last. I mean, does it get any better than that?!
What do you love most about Chumley's BearCruises?
I've been an event producer for pretty much all of my adult life, starting with working on fundraisers to fight HIV/AIDS in the mid-80's. I've always prided myself on creating events that I would personally enjoy attending, and I've been very fortunate that so many amazing men from all over the world seem to feel the same way about our sailings. Clearly I have massive love for our guests, who are without exception the finest group of gentlemen you are likely to meet.
Oddly enough, I think the thing I love the most about our group is the one thing I never intended to occur; on each cruise, we share the ship with a majority of 'straight' passengers - we certainly tend to be the largest group aboard - but in the first day or two there are certainly some who wonder what we are all about... we don't tend to look like Will and Jack or the shiny pretty boys they're used to seeing as the stereotype gay man, so it takes some time for them to get to know our group.
My favorite example is when our guys are waiting outside the dining room on formal night, and create a 'gauntlet of love' for the women who are exiting the early dinner - our guys compliment their hair and their dresses and their shoes - and these women light up like it's their wedding day! I suspect some of their husbands haven't said anything like that to them in years - but our guys just make them feel like a princess... and those fellow passenger of ours - regardless of what their perspective on gay men may have been before boarding that ship - have been going back to their hometowns all over the world for the past 15 years with tales of their cherished new friend and the cute, funny, polite, and handsome 'bears' they met from the Chumley's BearCruise group.
Like a pebble thrown into a lake, those ripple of love and understanding flow out slowly and surely... and that makes the world just a little bit better, right?

Vape this excellent classic traditional sweet cake ejuice flavor topped with a fruity mix of strawberry and raspberries.
Nice flavor, not strong enough.
This vape is really hard on your throat. It's a hard hit both in and out. Doesn't remotely taste like strawberry shortcake.
This is the second bottle I've been disappointed in.
Had a couple of tanks 3mg 70VG/30PG, really struggling to get the flavour just right, sometimes rough on the throat other times Strawberry flavour comes out good but the shortcake flavour is hard to get right (bit of a burnt taste). Will keep trying different settings to see how it goes and update if I can get it right.

Description: This is a moderate 7.8 mile shuttle hike in the GWNF on the VA/WV border. I’ve given it this name to lessen confusion with a circuit hike that utilizes the south west segment of this same ridge and the same Vance’s Cove Tr used here except you follow it upstream. Here you proceed downstream to finish the hike. The trek features an initial 400 ft climb over the first mile and then rolling hills followed by a deep descent to the bottom of the cove and a nice walk along Paddy Run, crossing it three times, as you return to your cars.
Note: In order to hike this shuttle as described the front gate on FR93 has to be open to vehicular traffic. Call the Lee Ranger District of the GWNF to find out open dates.
If the gate is closed and you still want to do the shuttle add 2.3 miles of forest road walking to the hike.
FR93 (Paddy Run Lane on the Google Map) is not signed and very hard to find.
The Tuscarora Trail is part of the Great Eastern Trail (GET).
Trail Notes: From Rt55 walk southwest on the blue blazed Tuscarora Trail. The trail will be rocky and steep in places. Climb 500 feet in the first mile.
At about 1.9 miles cross over a power line swath and begin partial views of Vance’s Cove. You other cars are somewhere down there. From here the tread will vary from rocky to grassy to a smooth carpet of pine needles and back again.
In another 2.0 miles arrive at the Gerhard Shelter. This is a nice place to take a break before the steep descent to the cove. From here as you face southeast along the ridge turn left down white blazed Gerhard Shelter Trail with a sign pointing to a spring.
Descend for 0.94 miles, crab-walking at times as you drop 750 feet in elevation, until you reach gravel FR 93.
Turn left on FR 93 and walk about 0.5 miles past a locked gate. Turn right onto a woods road that soon passes a campsite and ends at Paddy Run.
Cross Paddy Run and turn left onto yellow blazed Vance’s Cove Trail. Follow it for 1.93 miles, crossing the stream two more times before arriving at a low water concrete bridge. Turn left and cross the bridge, following the dirt road to the intersection with FR 93.
Turn right onto FR 93 and in 0.4 miles arrive at your cars at the fork in the forest road. If you feel the need to walk a little more follow the other branch of the forest road down to the east branch of Paddy Run. Cross it and follow a forest road into Paddy Gap. You’ll find more rocks, white water and Hemlocks here. This trail actually goes all the way through the gap, crosses through private property and ends at County Road 600. If you walk the entire stretch you’ll add about 2 miles in both directions to the day’s hiking. I’m currently studying the feasibility of adding this extra two miles to the current shuttle, starting as shown here but ending on County Road 600. I’ve been told that the land owners let fishermen use the trails along the run but this has to be confirmed.

The needles used in the extraction of follicular units were designed by Dr. KESER and approved by Turkish Patent Institute on September 16 2003 . For international patenting, a PCT application has been filed. These needles enable the removal of the hair with the surrounding microscopic tissue from the donor site without any damage to the hair root. The needles have a specially designed tip of 0.7-0.9 mm in diameter and are in a lumen(tube) form. About 6-8 mm distal part of the needle is inserted into the skin and withdrawn. This process resembles that of a complete removal of a plant with its root from the ground. Similarly, the hair and hair root is completely extracted from the scalp.
The grafts (FU) harvested through this process are then transplanted into the hairless area. In implantation process, not the needles mentioned above but the injection needles with 0.6-0.8 mm diameters are used.
The grafts are placed through very little holes inflicted by these needles. Since both the graft and implantation holes are too small, it is possible to achieve a denser transplantation (60-80 cm 2 ) and leave no scars on the skin.

Is Detroit on the cutting edge of reinvestment in America?
I argue that far from being the ‘last’ plant, JNAP is actually a bellweather of a shift in investment, corporate culture and civic engagement that can bode well for Detroit, and the rest of America.
I know the auto sector best, so that’s what I focus on in the blog, but I’m quite sure there are many more examples of proactive reinvestment in the city that real Detroiters could provide. And I’ve been seeing articles all week long in response to the bankruptcy that suggest that there is pent-up demand nationwide to put what we have – whether that’s private equity or sweat equity – into tangible projects that strengthen communities, cities like Detroit, and the nation.
Check out my guest blog here – and comment (with examples), please!

In the final chapter in our series of features articles on the 60th anniversary of the iconic Omega Speedmaster, going decade by decade, we present the thirteen most noteworthy Speedmasters from 2010 to today, including the recently launched special edition for #SpeedyTuesday, the Speedmaster 38mm, and the Speedmaster Racing.
This watch celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo XV moon landing and is included in a numbered series of 1,971 pieces. The red, white, and blue colors on the dial were inspired by the colors on the mission patch and the caseback features an engraving of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, which was used on the moon for the first time during the mission.
A tribute to the 45th anniversary of the Apollo XIII mission, and the Silver Snoopy Award that Omega subsequently received from NASA, this watch features a white dial with special comic-strip inscriptions and a small Snoopy illustration decorating the 9 o’clock subdial. On the caseback, a Snoopy medallion in 925 silver is surrounded by dark blue enamel. More details on the watch can be found here.
You review of Speedmasters excluded the Speedmaster Mark II.
You don’t mention the Speedmaster Mark II!
Nice to see my watch – Apollo 15 40th Anniversary – at the very top of this list of great watches. Don’t tell me it’s just chronological order. It’s a beautiful watch with some understated flash, and is the watch I wear most frequently.

On Saturday 3rd September at Streeton Primary School, many keen trivia lovers attended the annual UBC Trivia Night. Being an Olympic year, the theme was all things Olympics. It was a great night with many old and new faces competing for the coveted Gold Medal, which went (not without a considerable fight) to ‘Jesus and the Disciples’.
The night began with many contestants dressing up in fine form, including one table – ‘Jesus and the disciples’ which brought many laughs! Although some questions where quite hard, the competitors came with good spirits, sporting many hilarious answers and some entertaining pictures which gave the markers a good laugh! Bribery was, of course, encouraged throughout the night for some of the answers. These bribes helped raise money along with the games, ‘True and False’ and ‘Four Corners’. With other bonus rounds during the night, such as text the answer and a mob rules question, we tried to keep the trivia-keen competitors on their toes! Kelly Reaburn and Matthew Lee kindly donated their time to help throughout the night but also run games during the intervals, coin “curling” and mini golf which helped create a successful and entertaining night for all involved!
The night was topped off with the auction of a holiday at Blairgowrie Getaway which fetched for a wonderful price of $350. This was generously donated by Steve Currie, and helped us raise over $1,300 in total!
To everyone who attended the night, we cannot thank you enough for your generosity. It was great to see so many people having a laugh and we hope to see you all again for revenge (or to hold your title!) at the next UBC Trivia Night.
We would also like to thank everyone who helped to bring this night together, including Darren, who wonderfully volunteered his time to be our MC on the night, as well as Kelly Reaburn and Club President Matthew Lee.
Thanks must go to everyone who so donated prizes. These are Steve Currie, Matthew Lee, Paul Etherington, our friends at the Entertainment Guide and Strike Bowling at Highpoint. Without your generous donations, events like this cannot raise much needed funds.
Thanks again to all and we look forward to another great fund raiser next year.

Ethylene Regulation of Gravitropic Curvature in Arabidopsis Stems.
Horizontal placement of a plant stem causes the redistribution of the soluble hormone auxin and stimulates biosynthesis of the gaseous hormone ethylene. While auxin is the primary plant hormone engaged in gravitropic responses through stimulation of growth, ethylene plays a modulating role in regulating the kinetics of this process. Ethylene is produced by the oxidation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), which is formed from S-adenosyl methionine. The regulation of ACC synthesis by ACC synthase (ACS) serves as the rate-controlling step in ethylene biosynthesis. Our major research objective is to evaluate individual ACS forms in the regulation of gravitropism in dark-grown Arabidopsis seedlings. Potential changes in expression of the various ACS forms were evaluated in transgenic plants carrying ACS promoter-GUS fusions and by RT-PCR. Preliminary results do not reveal distinct changes in ACS expression within curving hypocotyls. The role of each ACS member in hypocotyl growth and gravitropic curvature was determined by comparing wild-type responses with those of mutants that do not express specific ACS forms. Compared to wild-type seedlings, mutants with increased ethylene of production (T-DNA insertion mutant of acs4, SALK_054951) showed significantly increased curvature by 7 hours after horizontal placement. Other acs mutants that did not exhibit increased ethylene production did not show changes in curvature kinetics. Overall, these results indicate a stimulatory role for ethylene in gravitropic curvature for Arabidopsis hypocotyls.

And the feartures of memory manipulation, code searching. Im thinking i did it wrong. Ymyn found the code originally and it's working on game version 1. My Luma is too old and didn't have that option available haha. You can raise a level 1 disc to level 100. After Battle start, there will be a little button in the left bottom corner of the bottom display.
Ymyn found the code originally and it's working on game version 1. Can you say something about your setup? I have 10 platinum, 5 gold, 10 silver, and 10 bronze from beating arena battles. The higher the level the disc, the more money it costs to make and the more energy it uses. Which hardware, which cfw etc like in the op? In post game, you can pay 100,000 to get unlimited energy for a day, but until that point, you can only recharge after each use, or wait until if fills automatically. If you could explain me, what's the purpose of this code I'll see, if I import it.
If I scout a monster the scout meter is 100% and the scouting itself is only 1 hit. I can't say what's the problem as it wasn't me who found the code. After loading your savestate or in main menu? When you make a disc, you set the level from 1-100. For the most part you can still guess what each item does just by reading its name, though. Gesendet von meinem E5823 mit Tapatalk. Eventhough i added the right files to the folder. You can use network coins in the plaza to buy monsters and items.
The level bonus for monster rewards at least is the square of the level. You start with 100 energy, then it goes to 200. If you could explain me, what's the purpose of this code I'll see, if I import it. Maybe I can then find out, what's the problem. Maybe I can then find out, what's the problem.
Took a while, but i managed to install it. How did you setup your game installation? When i disabled that code, all the text went back to english. Edit: i know what i did wrong. But if it results in an illegal monster like 6 skills in fusion I won't for now Gesendet von meinem E5823 mit Tapatalk I rechecked the function and for me they work perfectly. S rank x10 multiplier I think for level 100 x10000 multiplier monster disc caps at 62. What prizes can one get from disc machine? This is caused by the Overlay-Plugin.
Now I can have fun again. I can't say what's the problem as it wasn't me who found the code. Level 1 is 1 squared, or 1x multiplier, 10 is 100x, and 100 is 10000x multiplier. But if it results in an illegal monster like 6 skills in fusion I won't for now Gesendet von meinem E5823 mit Tapatalk Click to expand. A level 100 disc costs 200,000 G and costs 100 energy to use. Okay that really sounds like it's not working all.
If i'll also be able to write a code which manipulates the % chance of getting rare rewards. There was a whole lot of memory searching to do this time, what took this plugin so long. It's already functional but not fully implemented. Therefore you need the Plugin Edition by get it. Edit 2: updated the Luma version i had, enabled the patches and now everything is translated. Gesendet von meinem E5823 mit Tapatalk Click to expand. By the way, is it possible to add a cheat for network coins and % chance of getting special prize in disc machine? Can you say something about your setup? For monster reward discs, the reward is calculated by a set % chance I think it is like.
Okay that really sounds like it's not working all. It's not only you can manually add Gameshark codes bus you're also able to create a Plugin, like the ones i did before. The Stats will be shown on the top screen, page-by-page. Which hardware, which cfw etc like in the op? If you need a save that has network coins for messing around in, you can use mine. The prizes from the disc machine can be accessories, items, gold, exp, or monsters.
Edit: I made a misstep, everything is in english if you do it right. Im gonna test some more. And the multiplier do also work for me. When did you activate the codes?. Following Page 2 : Treat pages with 26 Treats max 27 Treats result in 2 pages etc.

Erin and I met up with Joslyn and Bryan for lunch… then to the Warhol exhibit at the Modern. Although I haven’t visited every museum in the DFW area, I think this will remain my favorite.
This billboard ranks in the top 10 of the worst out there. Note to people out there that use this phrase: you have officially been “big timed” by this billboard. As of this post, you can see it on the East bound service road of George Bush Highway, just East of Coit Road in Plano.

Suppose I have two different DxDesigner projects each with their own schematic. How can I do a compare between the schematic of one project and the schematic of the other project and get a report telling me the differences.
For this one you can manually compare the netlists of the two projects.
Otherwise so many third party softwares available to compare netlists of two projects. You can export keyin netlist of the two projects and you can compare it by means of any third party softwares.
The licensed version of visECAD has a schematic netlist compare option.
Thank you for your replies! What about comparing the properties of parts in one schematic to the properties of parts in another schematic?
xDX DataBook addin provides live property verification to a master property list stored in a database, highlighting when properties match or differ.
Otherwise export the properties using PartLister, import into your favorite spreadsheet and compare with limitless possibilities.
Ok, but because DxDesigner does not allow opening two different projects at the same time, how can we compare sheet by sheet with another similar project ?
The goal is to be able to identify changes made from a slightly different version, not only connectivity wise, but graphically wise too.
This would require the use of EDM and our Collaborative Compare tool.
Or for the single user VisEcad is available.
You can open two instances of DxDesigner with a single license... a different project in each. You need to open the tool and then File > Open > Project.
Or File - Open Reference.
With regard to graphical comparison of old and new schematic drawings, Mentor is a Siemens company. Siemens has a product called Teamcenter Visualization, which is able to import a wide variety of graphic formats, and has a built-in compare function. Perhaps Mentor could acquire the rights to offer this tool as a solution.
I can open two different instances of DxDesigner, but it will not let me open a project in the second one.
Not possible with PADS Pro.

Beta-Alanine: Is This A Supplement That Can Make A Difference For You?
Gaining a better understanding of exactly what beta-alanine is will enable you to make sure you're maximizing its performance... Here is more information on what beta-alanine is, how to take it, and advantages for training.
While there are a great many supplements out there that people question just how much of a difference they make, beta-alanine is one that has proven to be effective time and time again.
Gaining a better understanding of exactly what beta-alanine is though and how it works in the body will enable you to make sure you're maximizing its performance in your supplement regime.
Here is more information on what beta-alanine is, how to take it, and what advantages it's going to bring to your workouts.
Beta-alanine is one of the non-essential amino acids that is not easily consumed in the regular mixed diet of chicken, beef, whey, or fish. Due to this fact, it can make getting in your required dose slightly more difficult.
When it's ingested by the body, beta-alanine will get converted into carnosine, which will then serve the purpose of increasing your stamina, strength as well as muscle development.
"When it's ingested by the body, beta-alanine will get converted into carnosine, which will then serve the purpose of increasing your stamina, strength as well as muscle development."
For those who are heavy into their training, this will then enable them to train harder while they're in the gym, resulting in increased muscle gains as a direct result.
Furthermore, for those who are trying to do more metabolic type of workouts by decreasing the amount of rest they're taking between sets, this will also serve to help them recover more quickly between sets, therefore allowing them to increase the overall calorie burn and intensity during the workout.
Looking more specifically at what beta-alanine does in the body, we need to dig a bit more into its connection with carnosine. It is through beta-alanine's direct effect that carnosine really exerts its influence, so that is really the key to understanding this supplement.
Carnosine can be found in both the two different muscle types in the body, but has higher concentration in the type two fibers, which are going to be more directed towards maximum strength and intensity exercises.
When high intensity exercise takes place though, our body begins to accumulate a large amount of hydrogen ions, which then causes the body to take on a more acid state. It's also this increase in hydrogen ions that will cause the lactic acid build-up in the body, which then will cause feelings of fatigue while exercising and may eventually cause exercise to cease entirely.
If you're getting a large build-up of lactic acid in most of the workouts you're doing, this will be a limiting factor of your overall performance and over time, will definitely impact how quickly you see results.
Carnosine, when present in the body though, will work as an intracellular buffer, helping to stabilize the muscular pH and also soak up any additional hydrogen ions that are released while the exercise is taking place.
The more carnosine that's present in your system then, the less chances you're going to suffer from high lactic acid levels.
It is the supplementation of beta-alanine that will effectively boost your carnosine levels in the body, with greatest increases seen after twelve straight weeks of use.
Because of the fact that you cannot take carnosine straight by itself, choosing to supplement with beta-alanine instead is the best course of action.
While supplementing with beta-alanine should help most individuals who are involved in exercise, endurance athletes who are training and performing with low to moderate exercise levels may not notice as great of effects simply due to the fact that their body will not be producing as much excess hydrogen ions so they won't have as great of a lactic acid build-up as other athletes.
"Endurance athletes who are training and performing with low to moderate exercise levels may not notice as great of effects."
Many people often question whether beta-alanine would work better than creatine in terms of increasing the body's ability to tolerate exercise but it's important to note that they are doing opposite things here.
Creatine is working to ensure that you have sufficient ATP (high energy molecule that powers exercise) in the body, while beta-alanine essentially is making sure the environment for exercise stays favorable.
For this reason, it's actually in your best interest to take both supplements if possible.
Do You Supplement With Beta-Alanine?
Typically, it's also recommend to do a bit of a loading phase with beta-alanine as well, starting with about 6 grams spread over two or three doses during the day for the first six days, and then progressing to the maintenance phase, taking in about 3 grams divided into three doses.
Note that when first starting to take beta-alanine, you may feel a small tingling sensation in the body because the nerves under the skin are being stimulated. Don't worry if you are feeling this way as it's actually a good sign that the supplement is doing its job.
Also keep in mind that it typically takes about two weeks to start noticing good increases in performance, so if it's not immediately noticeable, don't give up on it too quickly.
Additionally, some people find that beta-alanine works well for increasing vasodilation as carnosine will also work as a precursor to nitric oxide synthase.
Just like creatine, beta-alanine seems to work best if it's taken with carbohydrates as well, due to the insulin spike that's created, speeding the uptake into the muscle cells.
So, if you're looking for a way to extend your workouts so you can train harder and accomplish more in each gym session, give beta-alanine some consideration. Fatigue is something that many individuals face, especially if you're currently dieting, therefore anything that can increase levels will definitely improve your ability to continue to make progress.

A Sleaford resident is among neighbours increasingly concerned about dangerous parking on a busy housing estate road.
The Standard recently highlighted issues with cars travelling at speed approaching and leaving the area of St Botolph’s School on Rookery Avenue, made worse by having to go around parked cars on a bend and meeting vehicles coming in the opposite direction.
Now Rhett Hayes, a resident on Rookery Avenue, has warned that other sections of the road are becoming more dangerous too.
He told the Standard: “The recent planning permission for three dwellings behind the Grantham Road properties at its entrance has resulted in excessive on street parking that is directly opposite to the junction of the Lincolnshire Secure Unit.” (This unit also sees excessive parking spilling onto the road at peak times, potentially adding to the situation).
Mr Hayes went on: “The other problems that have been created are due to over occupancy of rental properties on the street and now we are presented by scenes most evenings where one car is parked on the road and another opposite it parked on the pavement. I personally would park on the same side to reduce the bottleneck. The boy racers that run up and down the streets most evenings will find this a very new, interesting challenge.
He said there ought to be speed bumps as used on some less busy streets, and added that pedestrians crossing near his property are masked from traffic by the parked cars.
Rowan Smith, the county council’s area highways manager, said they had not received any complaints about parking issues on this part of Rookery Avenue.
“We will investigate and monitor the situation, and will also request police advice and attendance if required,” he said.

Cooking over a fire, to my mind, is one of the best parts of camping. The simple act of watching the embers glow while waiting for your food to cook is one of most mesmerising activities I know. Not surprisingly the campfire is always the heart of a camp, drawing everyone in whether young or old. With the right equipment you can cook just about anything over a campfire, but some of the best recipes are the simplest, as is the case with bread on a stick.
The only two really essential ingredients in this recipe are the flour and water. All the others are down to taste, imagination and what you have to hand. Try measuring your dry ingredients into a ziplock bag at home, so you only carry what you need. When ready to bake you just need to add your water to the bag and it becomes your mixing vessel.
It is important to use a freshly cut stick to cook your bread on. Not only will you know what wood you are using, but the greenness of the wood will prevent it catching fire. Hazel and Ash are ideal to use, whereas Holly, Yew, Elder, Rhododendron and Elm are all toxic.
Mix your ingredients into a smooth dough, and roll into a sausage shape about as thick as an adult thumb. Twist around the end of a freshly cut stick where you have removed the bark, leaving space between the coils for the bread to expand as it cooks. Cook over the embers of a fire, frequently turning until golden brown and the bread has a hollow sound when you tap it. Once cooked, it should be easy to remove from the stick by twisting it and pulling it off.

The Council will address options to fill the seat vacated by Dominic Caserta at tonight’s meeting. The Council can appoint a candidate within 30 days, call a special election or possibly wait until the November general election — maybe.
Former planning commissioner and attorney J. Byron Fleck submitted a letter analyzing the Council’s options. Fleck doesn’t believe the city Charter allows the Council to leave the seat open until November. He’s asking the Council to make a quick appointment rather than calling for a special election because of the huge potential cost.
Sunnyvale held a special election in August 2016 – which cost Sunnyvale taxpayers $794,978. Wow. That would be a lot of money to waste in the Mission City.
The Council would need a super majority five votes to make an appointment.
Speaking of wasting money, no one really knows what this fee pays for. The fee has increased substantially the past few years, without a formal approval by Council. The fee went from $45,000 to $150,000. Many feel this is a gift of public funds.
The Santa Clara Chamber’s CVB “management fee” from 2013/14 through 2018/19.
“We are concerned that the management fee was increased dramatically in the last two years without proper documentation and without official city council authorization. We are grateful that our new city management team discovered and has stopped this practice. However, it’s important for us and the public to know how this may have happened. So, we look forward to receiving additional information.
Interim Chamber CEO Nick Kaspar would not provide comment on the item.
Jeremy Hicks or Anthony Becker will be appointed to the Planning Commission — if there isn’t a split vote.
The Moonlite Lanes project (2780 El Camino) is asking for a general plan amendment. The project proposes 50 for-sale townhomes. This development previously attracted a lot of neighborhood opposition when it was for high density apartments.
The Reed Street – Grant Street Sports Park project has an award contract for Council approval. The lowest bid was just under $20.2 million by O.C. Jones and Sons., Inc.

YEIP’s innovative methodology is characterised by its youth-led approach. During our fieldwork and test trials, young people taking an active role as peer research discussing with their peers their experiences, opinions and suggestions regarding the prevention of violent radicalisation.
In this section we report on some case studies form the participating YEIP countries. They serve as examples of active and positive youth participation and engagement.
The YEIP project in the UK conducted interviews and focus groups at two separate schools. One was a secondary school in Huntingdon, Cambridge. Here we interviewed 8 individuals who were 15 years old. The other was a further education college in Newham, London. Here we interviewed 16 young people between 16 and 20.
The young people from Huntingdon were all white British, with one exception (Asian) and the young people from Newham were from a spectrum of ethnic backgrounds.
During the focus group, our young researchers asked the individuals “do you feel British?” This had an entirely divisive response from those in the Huntingdon school – who all unanimously said they did – to those in Newham who said they didn’t.
In Huntingdon the responses suggested that they all felt “very English” but that there wasn’t anything that defined that feeling specifically. Some said “the way I speak” or, “it is where I was born”; some suggested it was “the type of food and politeness”.
As a group they were all reflective on what other people consider British; from an outside perspective. They could all see why someone wouldn’t feel British but to them it was a concept that was alien. All their families came from the same area that they lived in and had British roots. They were white and relatively privileged which gave them a philosophical understanding of the issues being addressed but maybe not a realist one.
Some of them went further and considered the conflict between their origins and their British surroundings. “Basically, the way I think of it is, when I’m around my family obviously they’re following that sort of philosophy, when I’m in a school setting, when I’m working they will be following some of the British ways of doing things, so I think you need to conform to that. You can’t be too far away from that, I think you’ll run into trouble if you’re like that.”… “I’ve lived here most of my life, my parents work here, they contribute… I think I am entitled to be called British. I was actually bullied but I think I’m entitled to be called British”.
There was nothing in their answers that suggested being British was anything special or unique. They all strongly identified with their heritage and considered themselves to be “from” Nigeria, or India, or where their families were from. They did not feel like they would introduce themselves as English. They said that “I don’t know what it is being British… but when I think about it… I just know I’m not *that*”.
As part of the YEIP project, the fieldwork was carried out by a group of 16 young volunteers in Bucharest, Romania and Warsaw, Poland. It involved young people in high schools, universities, NEETs, and migrants. The objective of the research was threefold. First, to assess the conceptualisations of marginalisation and radicalisation and among young people. Second, to collect young people’s input on the prevention of these phenomena. Third, to inform the development of prevention tools based on the Good Lives Model as a preventive framework for radicalisation. Based on the initial training of the young volunteers on qualitative research methods, two focus groups and 33 interviews were carried out. In order to facilitate discussions, encourage participants to express their opinions and share personal experiences a case study was presented. The case study was developed based on a real-life case story involving discrimination and violence towards a young migrant woman.
Suraya is a young refugee woman from Afghanistan. She is 16 years old and has arrived in Romania one year ago with her parents and 4 sisters. They live in a refugee center. Her family holds a traditional view on women and she wears her head covered with a hijab when she goes to school. She is in the 10th grade.
From the first day she joined her class, her classmates displayed a negative attitude towards her because of her veil, Islam and her hidden motivation to do some harm in Romania. She was too embarrassed to discuss this issue openly with her teachers. However, she spoke about it with her parents who decided she should drop out of school. However, Suraya insisted that she wanted to go to school despite her colleagues’ attitude and her sense of isolation and loneliness.
One day she was in the tram returning home from school. After repeated episodes of verbal harassments one of her classmates cut her face with a razor. No one in the tram had any reaction. Suraya cried all the way home from school and told her parents what happened. Her parents asked her to go to the police but she feared that lodging a claim may also result in her need to drop out of school. Eventually, she agreed but she also sought help from NGO representatives working on integration matters.
Together with Suraya they agreed to go to her class and hold a series of sessions on forced migration, the meaning of refugee, cultural sensitiveness, diversity etc. Suraya was very confident that her colleagues knew nothing about her and her intentions in Romania. She also feared that punishing her colleagues may trigger more violence towards her which would eventually force her to drop out of school. The school sessions were very interactive and fun. Intercultural mediators along with the young migrants who volunteered for the YEIP project in Romania also joined to expose their culture, foods, music and achievements in Romania.
As a result, Suraya’s colleagues had a better understanding of her reasons to cover her head and what a refugee is and ceased to treat her abusively and violently. A step forward was made by her colleagues who started to join her during breaks and ask her more about her country of origin. Also, teachers became aware of their critical role in promoting class diversity and inclusion.
The approach taken to address Suraya’s situation based on the involvement of the victim and the offender emphasized the meaningful contribution of positive psychology and the GLM for changing the negative attitude and behavior of the young students.
Ca parte a proiectului YEIP, cercetarea de teren a fost realizate de un grup de 16 tineri voluntari din București, România și Varșovia, Polonia. Aceasta a implicat tinerii din licee, universități, NEET și migranți. Cercetarea a avut trei obiective. În primul rând, s-a urmărit evaluarea modului în care tinerii conceptualizează marginalizarea şi radicalizarea. În al doilea rând, au fost colectate informaţii despre opinia tinerilor cu privire la prevenirea acestor fenomene. În al treilea rând, să inspire dezvoltarea unor instrumente de prevenire pe baza modelului de psihologie positiva- Good Lives Model – ca model de prevenire a radicalizării.
Pe baza pregătirii inițiale a tinerilor voluntari asupra metodelor de cercetare calitativă, au fost realizate două focus-grupuri și 33 de interviuri. Pentru a facilita discuțiile si pentru a încuraja participanții să își exprime opiniile și să împărtășească experiențele personale, a fost prezentat un studiu de caz. Studiul de caz a fost elaborat pe baza unei poveşti reale de viaţă ce implică discriminare și violență față de o femeie tânără migrantă.
Suraya este o tânără femeie refugiată din Afganistan. Are 16 ani și a ajuns în România cu un an în urmă, împreună cu părinții ei și cu 4 surori. Locuiesc într-un centru de refugiați. Familia ei are o viziune tradițională asupra femeilor, iar ea își poartă capul acoperit cu un hijab atunci când merge la școală. Ea este în clasa a 10-a.
Încă din prima zi de şcoală, colegii ei au manifestat o atitudine negativă față de ea din cauza valului ei, Islamului și a presupusei motivații ascunse de a face un rău în România. Ei îi era prea rușine să discute deschis această problemă cu profesorii ei. Totuși, ea a vorbit despre asta cu părinții ei care au decis să renunțe la școală. Cu toate acestea, Suraya a insistat că a vrea să meargă la școală, în ciuda atitudinii colegilor și a sentimentului ei de izolare și singurătate.
Într-o zi se întorcea acasă de la școală cu tramvaiul. După episoadele repetate de hărțuire verbală, unul dintre colegii ei a tăiat-o pe faţă cu o lamă. Nimeni din tramvai nu a avut nici o reacție. Suraya a plâns tot drumul până a ajuns acasă şi le-a spus părinților ce s-a întâmplat. Aceştia i-au cerut-o să meargă la poliție, dar ea s-a temut că depunerea unei plângeri ar putea rezulta în nevoia de a renunța la școală. În cele din urmă, ea a fost de acord, dar a solicitat şi ajutor din partea reprezentanților unui ONG care lucrează în probleme de integrare.
Împreună cu Suraya au fost de acord să meargă în clasa ei și să organizeze o serie de sesiuni privind migrația forțată, refugiații, sensibilitatea culturală, diversitatea etc. Suraya a fost foarte încrezătoare că tinerii din clasa ei ei nu știau nimic despre ea și despre intențiile ei în România. De asemenea, s-a temut că pedepsirea colegilor săi ar putea declanşa şi mai multă violență față de ea, ceea ce o va obliga să renunțe la școală. Sesiunile la şcoala au fost foarte interactive și amuzante. Mediatori interculturali, împreună cu tinerii migranți care s-au oferit voluntar pentru proiectul YEIP din România, s-au alăturat, pentru a-și expune cultura, mâncarea tradiţională, muzica și realizările lor în România.
Ca urmare, colegii lui Suraya au înţeles mai bine motivele pentru care ea îşi acoperă capul și ceea ce este un refugiat și au încetat să o trateze abuziv și violent. Un pas înainte a fost făcut de colegii săi care au început să I se alăture în timpul pauzelor și să o întrebe mai multe despre țara sa de origine. De asemenea, profesorii au devenit conștienți de rolul lor în promovarea diversității și incluziunii în clasă.
Abordarea adoptată pentru a soluţionarea problemelor lui Suraya, bazată pe implicarea victimei și a infractorului, a subliniat contribuția semnificativă a psihologiei pozitive și GLM pentru schimbarea atitudinii și comportamentului negativ al tinerilor elevi.
A., an 18-year-old girl, who lives in an area where drug deals prevail, was involved with drug use since the age of 12, as she had access to the trade point, next to her house. She believes that if she were living in another area, or country, her life would not have taken this course. As reported when she was interviewed, in this case, marginalisation and as a result potential radicalisation has to do with the place where she grew up and her personal experiences related to that area.
After consuming drugs for several years, she was hospitalised in a psychiatric clinic and lost a year of school due to absence. Teachers told her that she should choose between her high school diploma and the discharge paper from the clinic. As described, educators are doing their best to communicate to students that they have to try hard to finish school, but children do not opt for hard work, since everything becomes too difficult.
She often gets angry with injustice and lack of respect, giving examples of chasing her teacher inside the school building because of being disrespectful to her. On the other hand, she gets joy when she overcomes difficulties and forms a better self. As she explains, the one thing that upgraded her life was the psychiatric clinic that assisted her on quitting drugs and finding herself again.
As described, when she was consuming drugs, she was lost; she used to hit her mother, leave her house, while there was a time that she got arrested for having cocaine, and after consuming it in the police station, she started asking to sue her parents. The past year, the consumption has led her to use violence, even though she was against it. Characteristically, she underlines that it was not her using violence, but the drugs. She reports that the substances were leading her to extreme and radical behaviour that she has never expressed before.
When asked whether she has ever felt discriminatory treated, she talked about her teacher referring to her using degrading expressions. When she reacted, she got expelled.
In the described case, one can notice a carried away young woman that got involved in a difficult situation at an early age, through which she exhibited violent behaviour. Education and information is needed for children to understand the dangers and possible consequences of several matters.
Α., ένα κορίτσι ηλικίας 18 ετών, που ζει σε μια περιοχή όπου κυριαρχούν τα ναρκωτικά, έμπλεξε με τη χρήση ναρκωτικών από την ηλικία των 12 ετών, καθώς είχε πρόσβαση στο εμπορικό σημείο, που ήταν δίπλα στο σπίτι της.
Πιστεύει ότι αν ζούσε σε άλλη περιοχή ή χώρα, η ζωή της δεν θα είχε αυτή την πορεία. Όπως αναφέρθηκε όταν ερωτήθηκε, στην περίπτωση αυτή, η περιθωριοποίηση και κατ’ επέκταση πιθανή ριζοσπαστικοποίηση έχει να κάνει με τον τόπο όπου μεγάλωσε και τις προσωπικές της εμπειρίες που σχετίζονται με αυτήν την περιοχή.
Αφού κατανάλωνε φάρμακα για αρκετά χρόνια, νοσηλεύτηκε σε ψυχιατρική κλινική και έχασε ένα έτος σχολείου λόγω απουσιών. Οι δάσκαλοι της είπαν ότι πρέπει να επιλέξει ανάμεσα στο δίπλωμα του γυμνασίου και το εξιτήριο από την κλινική. Όπως περιγράφεται, οι εκπαιδευτικοί προσπαθούν να επικοινωνήσουν στους μαθητές ότι θα πρέπει να προσπαθήσουν σκληρά για να ολοκληρώσουν το σχολείο, αλλά τα παιδιά δεν επιλέγουν σκληρή δουλειά, αφού όλα γίνονται πολύ δύσκολα.
Συχνά θυμώνει με την αδικία και την έλλειψη σεβασμού, δίνοντας παραδείγματα περιπτώσεων στις οποίες κυνηγούσε τον δάσκαλό της μέσα στο σχολικό κτίριο λόγω της έλλειψης σεβασμού προς αυτήν. Από την άλλη πλευρά, παίρνει χαρά όταν ξεπερνά τις δυσκολίες και σχηματίζει έναν καλύτερο εαυτό. Όπως εξηγεί, το ένα πράγμα που αναβάθμισε τη ζωή της ήταν η ψυχιατρική κλινική που την βοήθησε να κόψει τα ναρκωτικά και να βρει ξανά τον εαυτό της.
Όπως περιγράφεται, όταν κατανάλωνε ναρκωτικά, χάθηκε, συνήθιζε να χτυπάει τη μητέρα της, άφησε το σπίτι της, ενώ υπήρξε μία φορά που συνελήφθη γιατί είχε κοκαΐνη, την οποία αφού την κατανάλωσε μέσα στο αστυνομικό τμήμα, άρχισε να ζητάει να μηνύσει τους γονείς της. Κατά το τελευταίο έτος, η κατανάλωση την οδήγησε στη χρήση βίας, αν και ήταν εναντίον της βίας ως άνθρωπος. Χαρακτηριστικά, υπογραμμίζει ότι δεν ήταν εκείνη που χρησιμοποιούσε τη βία, αλλά τα ναρκωτικά. Αναφέρει ότι οι ουσίες την οδήγησαν σε ακραία και ριζοσπαστική συμπεριφορά που δεν έχει εκφράσει ποτέ πριν.
Όταν ρωτήθηκε αν έχει αισθανθεί ποτέ διακριτική μεταχείριση, μίλησε για το δάσκαλό της που αναφέρθηκε σε αυτήν χρησιμοποιώντας εξευτελιστικές εκφράσεις. Όταν αντέδρασε, αποβλήθηκε.
Στην περίπτωση που περιγράφεται, μπορεί κανείς να παρατηρήσει μια νεαρή γυναίκα που είχε εμπλακεί σε μια δύσκολη κατάσταση σε νεαρή ηλικία, μέσω της οποίας έδειξε βίαιη συμπεριφορά. Απαιτείται εκπαίδευση και πληροφόρηση ώστε τα παιδιά να κατανοούν τους κινδύνους και τις πιθανές συνέπειες πολλών θεμάτων.
The pseudonym given is Marios. Marios is a young 16 year-old from Greece who recently moved to Cyprus with his parents. He explained to us that when he first came to the school he faced an incidence of bullying due to his ethnicity being Greek. Specifically, his Cypriot classmates expressed hateful remarks to him for his nationality. At this point we must explain that in Cyprus, public opinion is split with regards to the nature of involvement of the Greek government during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. Some believe that the Greeks are to blame for the Turkish invasion, while others believe that they were allies of the Cypriot government.Following this incident, and having felt victimised as well as alienated due to psychological/verbal bullying, Marios shared his experience with his parents. He explained to our Young Researcher that being able to openly discuss this with his parents, enabled him to understand, in an unbiased way, the nature of political involvement from the Greek government.
His parents explained that historical events are not always absolute and so both sides must be heard, such that perhaps the Cypriot students had some justification for making those remarks. Of course they acknowledged that aggression was unjustified, yet their open discussion about it taught him how to hold a critical perspective on the matter.
Marios explained the importance of open and honest dialogue with his own positive role models (his parents) and how that helped him to cope better in School. Not only, he was able to stop the bullying through openly discussing the matter with his peers. Marios shared that on many occassions of witnessing bullying he is now able to step-in and resolve the conflict by encouraging his peers to ”think critically” and ”openly discuss their differences”.
This input was remarkable in that it introduced and emphasised the role and importance of positive role models and open dialogue, both on a peer-to-peer and peer-to-adult level.
Στο πλαίσιο του έργου YEIP διεξήχθη έρευνα σε γυμνάσια και σε μεταναστευτικά κέντρα των νέων για να διαπιστωθεί ποια είναι η αντίληψη των νέων σχετικά με το θέμα της ριζοσπαστικοποίησης των νέων. Η καινοτόμος μεθοδολογία του YEIP χαρακτηρίζεται από την προσέγγιση που βασίζεται στην νεολαία, καθώς νέοι ερευνητές είχαν ενεργό ρόλο στη συνολική ερευνητική διαδικασία.
Κατά τη διάρκεια των ομάδων εστίασης και της διαδικασίας συνέντευξεως, οι νέοι μίλησαν για τις εμπειρίες τους, τις απόψεις τους και τις προτάσεις τους σχετικά με την πρόληψη της ριζοσπαστικοποίησης των νέων. Υπό το πρίσμα της ανταλλαγής λεπτομερειών αυτών των εμπειριών, ετοιμάσαμε μια μελέτη περίπτωσης σχετικά με την εμπειρία του εκφοβισμού ενός νεαρού φοιτητή και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο βρήκε καλύτερους τρόπους αντιμετώπισης.
Το ψευδώνυμο που δίνεται είναι ο Μάριος. Ο Μάριος είναι ένας νεαρός 16χρονος από την Ελλάδα που πρόσφατα μετακόμισε στην Κύπρο μαζί με τους γονείς του. Μας εξήγησε ότι όταν ήρθε για πρώτη φορά στο σχολείο βίωσε ένα περιστατικό εκφοβισμού λόγω της εθνικότητάς του ως Έλληνας. Συγκεκριμένα, οι Κύπριοι συμμαθητές του εξέφρασαν μισητά σχόλια σε αυτόν για λόγους της εθνικής του ταυτότητας. Σε αυτό το σημείο πρέπει να εξηγήσουμε ότι στην Κύπρο η κοινή γνώμη διαχωρίζεται όσον αφορά τη φύση της εμπλοκής της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης κατά την τουρκική εισβολή στην Κύπρο το 1974. Κάποιοι πιστεύουν ότι η Ελληνική κυβέρνηση δεν βοήθησε τους Κύπριους κατά την Τουρκική εισβολή, ενώ άλλοι πιστεύουν ότι ήταν σύμμαχοι της κυπριακής κυβέρνησης.
Μετά το περιστατικό αυτό, ο Μάριος μοιράστηκε την εμπειρία του με τους γονείς του και εξήγησε πως αισθάνθηκε αποξενώση λόγω της ψυχολογικής / λεκτικής παρενόχλησης. Ανέφερε πως η δυνατότητα να συζητήσει ανοιχτά αυτή την εμπειρία με τους γονείς του, του επέτρεψε να κατανοήσει με αμερόληπτο τρόπο τη φύση της πολιτικής συμμετοχής της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης. Οι γονείς του, του εξήγησαν ότι τα ιστορικά γεγονότα δεν είναι πάντα απόλυτα και έτσι πρέπει ο ίδιος να είναι ανοιχτός και για τις δύο πλευρές μιας ιστορίας. Επομένως, ο Μάριος κατάφερε να κατανοήσει κατά κάποιο τρόπο τη συμπεριφορά των Κύπριων συμμαθητών του, χωρίς όμως να δικαιολογεί την επιθετικότητα τους. Παρόλα αυτά συνειδητοποίησε ότι μέσα από την ανοικτή συζήτησή που έιχε με τους γονείς του έμαθε την σημασία της κριτικής σκέψης για ένα θέμα.
Ο Μάριος εξήγησε τη σημαντικότητα του ανοιχτού και έντιμου διαλόγου με θετικά πρότυπα (τους γονείς του) και τον τρόπο που τον βοήθησε να αντιμετωπίσει καλύτερα τις καταστάσεις στο σχολείο. Ακόμη, ήταν σε θέση να σταματήσει τον εκφοβισμό που βίωνε, συζητώντας ανοιχτά το θέμα με τους συνομηλίκους του. Ο Μάριος δήλωσε ότι πλέον είναι σε θέση να επιλύει συγκρούσεις ανάμεσα σε συμμαθητές του ενθαρρύνοντας τους να “σκέπτονται κριτικά” και να “συζητούν ανοιχτά τις διαφορές τους”.
Αυτή η εισήγηση ήταν αξιοσημείωτη καθώς τόνισε το ρόλο και τη σημασία των θετικών προτύπων και του ανοιχτού διαλόγου, τόσο σε επίπεδο ομότιμου όσο και σε επίπεδο ομοτίμων και ενηλίκων.
F. lives in Emilia Romagna and is a university student with foreign origins. Her parents come from Morocco, but she was born in Italy.
Her experience in the world of youth associations helped her to overcome the problems of discrimination and bullying suffered during the middle school by her classmates due to the fact that she is Muslim.
“If I had not been supported by associationism and I did not grow up in that context, many problems, many situations that I experienced in my adolescence would led me to different results or to think differently, to act in a different way. […] If I think to my adolescence, small episodes could have made me a monster.
For example, I belong to that generation that was in the middle school during the years 2001 and 2002. 2001 was a bad year for Muslims because of the Twin Towers issue. So, during the most critical growth phase […] I had to bear criticisms, prejudices, physical and verbal violence by my classmates.
[…] In your life these are things that, if you do not run into the right paths, can lead you to mature in yourself hatred, anger that, if you do not vent them in other ways, can then lead to hatred and rejection towards others “.
“In high school I started to react after having met the association that helped me to form my identity, to believe in my values, to take a position and also to assume roles and responsibilities.
[…] I was no longer the silent F. that suffered, bore and did not react. I became the F. who began to intervene, to speak, to defend herself, to react, to explain herself, to make herself known, to ask teachers if I could intervene on certain issues proposing initiatives. […] These are all things that helped me to appreciate myself, to recognise my values as Italian Muslim girl.
[…] These activities contributed to my formation, because they made me feel important, I took on roles, I felt responsible and when a person feels important, he/she is not able to let other things get him/her down”.
“Even at the school level, I think it’s important that teachers and educational plans, start taking these things into consideration. […] At present, if these things do not start from a single involved teacher moved by his own motivation, this kind of things are not carried out. […] If you do not do these things in school when do you do them? […] If you first-hand do not find out and look for information, nobody explains you these things. Also, if you limit yourself to what is broadcasted on television, it is even worse!”.
For F. feeling welcomed in a community or a group, such as the school group or the group of local associations, and feeling supported and sustained by them in the personal growth allows people to acquire useful tools to fight extremist messages.
F. vive in Emilia Romagna ed è una studentessa universitaria con origini straniere. I suoi genitori provengono dal Marocco ma lei è nata in Italia.
La sua esperienza nel mondo dell’associazionismo giovanile l’ha aiutata a superare i problemi di discriminazione e bullismo subiti durante le scuole medie da parte dei compagni di classe, per il solo fatto di essere musulmana.
“Se io non fossi stata affiancata dall’associazionismo e non fossi cresciuta in quel contesto, tanti problemi, tante situazioni che ho vissuto nella mia adolescenza mi avrebbero portato a dei risultati diversi o a pensare in maniera diversa, agire anche in maniera diversa. […] Se penso alla mia adolescenza, piccoli episodi avrebbero potuto fare di me un mostro.
Per esempio io faccio parte di quella generazione che si è beccata gli anni delle medie tra il 2001 e 2002. Il 2001 è stato un anno pessimo per i musulmani, per la questione delle Torri Gemelle e quindi io nella fase di crescita più critica, che è quella delle medie e superiori, mi sono dovuta sorbire tutte delle critiche, dei pregiudizi, delle violenze fisiche e verbali da parte dei miei compagni di classe.
[…] Sono cose che nel tuo percorso di vita, se non incontri le vie giuste, i percorsi giusti, ti possono portare a maturare in te stessa un odio, una rabbia che se tu non sfoghi da altre parti ti possono poi portare a odio e rifiuto verso gli altri”.
“Alle superiori ho cominciato a reagire dopo aver conosciuto l’associazione che mi ha aiutata a formare la mia identità, che mi ha aiutato a credere nei miei valori, a prendere posizione e ad assumere anche dei ruoli e delle responsabilità.
[…] Non ero più la F. silenziosa che subiva e che mandava giù e non reagiva. Sono passata alla F. che ha cominciato a intervenire, ha cominciato a parlare, a difendersi, a reagire, a spiegare se stessa, a far conoscere sé stessa, a chiedere ai professori se potevo intervenire su certe tematiche, a proporre iniziative. […] Sono tutte cose che mi hanno aiutata ad apprezzare me stessa, a riconoscere i miei valori da ragazza italiana ma musulmana.
[…] Sono tutte attività che hanno contribuito nella mia formazione, perché mi hanno fatto sentire importante, ho assunto dei ruoli, mi sono sentita responsabile e quando una persona si sente importante difficilmente riesce a farsi abbattere da ad altre cose”.
“Anche a livello di scuole secondo me è importante che i professori, i piani didattici delle scuole, incomincino a prendere in considerazione queste cose. […] Se non parte dal singolo professore interessato per motivi suoi, queste cose non si fanno. […] Se non si vengono a fare a scuola queste cose quando le fai? […] Se non ci vai tu e non ti informi tu e non cerchi tu, nessuno te le viene a spiegare. Poi se ancora di più ti limiti a quello che viene trasmesso dalla televisione, peggio ancora!”.
Secondo F. il sentirsi accolta in una comunità o un gruppo, sia questo il gruppo della scuola o il gruppo dell’associazionismo locale, e sentirsi da questi supportata e sostenuta nella propria crescita personale permette alle persone di acquisire strumenti utili a combattere messaggi estremistici.
The young man’s name is Bashir. He is 18 years old and comes from Afghanistan. Due to war in his home country he fled, travelling through countries such as Iran, Turkey, Greece and so on, ending up in Sweden in 2016. Currently, he is seeking asylum and is waiting for a decision from the Swedish migration office on whether he can stay in Sweden or not. While awaiting what will happen to him in the future, Bachir is learning to speak Swedish and is doing his best to get good grades, through a language program. Bashir thinks that Swedish is a little bit difficult, and although he should have started the gymnasium now, he still needs to practice his Swedish to meet the criteria for this according to the Swedish curriculum. As Bachir came to Sweden unaccompanied he found it difficult to concentrate in school. He worried a lot about his family, but this recently changed.
I didn’t have any contact the first 1,5 year here, but three months back I found them. I was happy when I talked with my mother. Especially when you talk to someone you haven’t talked to in a while, and specially your mother, of course. I felt I was flying, I was happy and felt good. The was the happiest day I have ever spent in Sweden. Yeah, and about school – students and teachers are really good and kind. I don’t really have so many friends. I always keep my circles small. I don’t have many friends. I had two friends, but they got a negative decision from the migration office. So, they left to Germany and France. I am all alone now.
The above excerpt captures many intersecting aspects that have come to affect Bachirs’ sense of belonging, his hopes, worries in school and his everyday life. His thoughts about his family, and the feelings when getting in contact with them, knowing that they are alive and safe, is of course formative for the time of the interview. However, in the narrative we also get a glimpse of how friendships are developed and lost in a new country, here with class mates and teachers. Furthermore, we have the presence of the Swedish migration office, that affects him not only through his comrades, but also the insecurity of what will happen to him. To this end, and although Bachir talks positively about school his narrative really exemplifies a sense of marginalization, and of being somewhat excluded from the possibility of choice. Bachir continuous to talk about school and education, comparing his life now, and how it was back in Afghanistan.
School is like a second home for me. When I come here and see the teachers and students, they are nice to me and I feel safe in school. Not back in Afghanistan, then I was thinking, hope I can make it home today. Because the Taliban’s controls the province where I am from. So, I was afraid. I was not so motivated to go to school every day. The teachers here, they try to understand you and they ask when they see that you are sad. But it’s not like that in my country. Like they say, home is not four walls, it’s a feeling. When you go somewhere and you feel good, it’s your home. You feel safe and you feel normal. But life is not so easy. So, I’m in a specific place, I can’t cross my line. Hope I can soon, but I don’t think so. Everything will change. Every life line has it’s time.
Bachirs’ story is filled with frustrations, longings, separations. In a way he finds himself in “place” were his future is painted by insecurity and worries. At the same time there is also a presence of hope, and a struggle to belong somewhere. There is for example a wish expressed to be able to contribute to society. The most important persons in Bachirs’ life right now is his family and teachers at school. He feels safe in school and is also eager to learn and to become something. The possibility to use social media in order to keep contact with his family is of course also central for him when trying to look positively upon his future.
Den unga mannen heter Bashir. Han är 18 år och kommer ifrån Afghanistan. År 2016 tvingades han dock fly, på grund av krig i hemlandet och innan han kom till Sverige, passerade länder såsom Iran, Turkiet, Grekland med flera. För tillfället väntar Bashir på beslut på sin asylansökan ifrån migrationsverket. Medan han väntar försöker han lära sig svenska och han gör också sitt bästa för att få betyg genom ett förberedande språkprogram. Bashir tycker emellertid att det är svårt med svenskan, och eftersom han kom till Sverige som ensamkommande har han inte haft så mycket stöd på hemmaplan. Han har också oroat sig mycket över sin familjs situation och var de är. Denna kom dock nyligen att skingras. Bashir förklarar.
Jag hade ingen kontakt med familjen på ett och ett halvt år, men för tre månader sedan hittade jag dom, de var i Iran. Jag var så lycklig när jag pratade med mamma. Speciellt eftersom jag inte pratat med henne på så länge, och speciellt eftersom det var min mamma. Det kändes som om jag kunde flyga, jag var så lycklig. Det var den lyckligaste dagen som jag spenderat i Sverige. Ja, och gällande skolan, de andra i klassen och lärarna är schyssta och bra, men jag har inte så många vänner. Jag håller alltid mina cirklar små, och jag har inte många vänner. Jag hade två kompisar, men de fick utvisningsbeslut ifrån migrationsverket. Så de flydde vidare till Tyskland och Frankrike. Jag är helt ensam nu.
Citatet fångar flera olika aspekter av Bashirs vardagsliv, hans känsla av tillhörighet, hopp, oro över skolan, familjen, vänner som funnits men inte finns kvar, med mera. Hans tankar om familjen och känslan som infann sig när han fick veta att de levde, är naturligtvis formativt för berättelsen. Samtidigt ges också en viss inblick i hur vänskapsrelationer kan komma att utvecklas och förloras i ett nytt land. Migrationsverkets ständiga närvaro påverkar naturligtvis också Bashir, inte bara utifrån vad som hände hans vänner utan också den osäkerhet som ännu råder gällande hans egen framtid. I detta avseende, och även om Bashir pratar om skolan i positiva ordalag, exemplifierar berättelsen en ung persons känsla av marginalisering och utanförskap.
Skolan är som ett andra hem. När jag kommer hit så är lärare och klasskompisar snälla och jag känner mig säker i skolan. Så var det inte i Afghanistan, där tänkte jag mer, hoppas jag klarar mig hem från skolan. Du vet, Talibanerna kontrollerar ju den provinsen jag kommer ifrån, så jag var alltid rädd och inte så motiverad att gå till skolan. Lärarna här, de försöker förstå och de ställer frågor om de ser att du är ledsen. Så är det inte i mitt hemland. Som man brukar säga, hemma är inte fyra väggar, det är en känsla. När du åker någonstans och det känns bra och säkert, då är det som ditt hem. Du känner dig säker och normal. Men livet är inte så enkelt. Som det är nu befinner jag mig på en speciell plats, och jag kan inte korsa min linje och välja vad jag vill göra i framtiden. Jag hoppas att jag kan det snart, men jag tror inte det blir så. Allt förändras. Varje linje har sin tid.
Bashirs berättelse är präglad av frustration, längtan och separationer. Han befinner sig på en plats där hans framtid är allt annat är säker. Samtidigt finns det också hopp i berättelsen, och en vilja att känna tillhörighet och gemenskap. De personer som är viktigast för Bashir är hans familj som befinner sig långt borta, och lärarna i skolan. Han känner sig trygg i skolan och hoppas kunna utbilda sig för att bli något i framtiden, och kunna bidra till samhället. Möjligheten att hålla kontakten med familjen via sociala medier är naturligtvis också centralt när han försöker se tillvaron och framtiden med en positiv blick.
Rosa is 16 years old and lives in a small village in the center of Portugal with her father, a Mozambique native. Rosa called the attention of the young researchers during the Focus Group and also through the interview because she referred to topics that are under YEIP’S investigation aims, namely, issues about extreme political ideologies, racism and homophobia.
Rosa was herself victim of bullying because of her skin color and her physical aspect (e.g.; being called “fat”), and that might have contributed to her mindset and feelings towards marginalization.
Regarding political ideologies, Rosa said that she is annoyed and angry because of the different opinions that her colleagues, and her father as well, often express (e.g., some of her colleagues were sympathetic to Hitler and they supported the idea that immigrants should return to their home countries). Rosa stated that she wished to change the perspectives of her colleagues, since those ideas could have as consequence “the repetition of historical episodes, such as Nazism”.
Rosa has also been in contact with extremist messages addressing the LGBTI community from a Portuguese political party, which worried her a lot about the future of society. She also points out that homophobia exists at her school community, but with more emphasis on the male homosexual relationships, and that the relationships between women homosexual are respected.
Another problem has been identified by Rosa, that may be a possible cause of marginalization: financial capacity, that can prevent some young people of accessing or acquiring to specific goods (e.g., expansive clothing brand, news technologies), that others have access to easily.
Throughout the interview Rosa has shown to have good coping skills and strategies, once she has overcome the situations mentioned above with success. However, Rosa affirms that the school did not have an active role in this process and that schools, in general, are not prepared to deal with these situations and phenomena. It is suggested by Rosa that more direct contacts between the schools and the families should be encouraged. She also stated that this type of projects is very important by enabling the development of efficient tools to support young people to deal with these problems.
Rosa tem 16 anos e vive numa aldeia no centro de Portugal com o seu Pai, que tem origem moçambicana. Rosa chamou a atenção das jovens investigadoras durante a dinamização do Focus Group e da entrevista individual, uma vez que referiu ter vivenciado algumas situações sensíveis à problemática que é alvo de investigação no projeto YEIP. Entre eles, destacam-se por exemplo as questões relacionadas com ideologias políticas extremas, racismo ou homofobia.
Rosa, referiu ter sido vítima de bullying na escola, salientando que as motivações para tal foram a sua cor de pele e ao seu aspeto físico (por exemplo, ser chamada de “gorda”), e que tal poderá ter contribuído para a forma como ela se posiciona face a situações de marginalização.
No que respeita às ideologias políticas, a jovem refere que se sente incomodada e revoltada, devido às diferentes opiniões que os seus colegas, bem como o seu Pai, geralmente manifestam (por exemplo, alguns colegas simpatizavam com o Hitler e acham que os imigrantes deveriam voltar para os seus países de origem). Rosa gostaria de poder mudar as perspetivas dos colegas, uma vez que estas podem ter como consequência “a repetição de episódios históricos, como o nazismo”.
Rosa já esteve também em contacto com mensagens extremistas sobre a comunidade LGBTI por parte de um partido político português, o que a deixou bastante preocupada com o futuro da sociedade. Rosa refere ainda que existe, na comunidade escolar onde se insere, homofobia, embora direcionada apenas para os relacionamentos entre homens, sendo que as relações entre mulheres são mais respeitadas.
Foi identificado outro problema por parte da jovem, que pode ser uma possível causa de situações de marginalização: capacidade financeira, que pode impossibilitar que alguns jovens acedam com facilidade a certos bens materiais (por exemplo, roupas de marca, tecnologias de última geração), a que outros acedem com maior facilitismo.
Ao longo da entrevista a Rosa demonstrou ter boas capacidades de coping, uma vez que ultrapassou as situações supracitadas com sucesso, reforçando, no entanto, que a escola não teve um papel ativo neste processo, e confessando as escolas não estão preparadas para lidar com estas situações e fenómenos. É sugerido pela Rosa um reforço da ligação e oportunidade de interação entre as escolas e os encarregados de educação e/ou família. Neste sentido, a jovem salienta a importância deste tipo de projetos, uma vez que os mesmos proporcionam o desenvolvimento de ferramentas capazes de ajudar os jovens a lidarem com estas problemáticas.

John Barrett, Owner of Barr Homes, began his real estate career in 1972 and started focusing on new construction over 20 years ago. By working in the housing market and communicating directly with buyers, John became keenly aware of their wants and expectations. Feeling that there was a need for cost effective homes with practical, yet exciting floor plans, he established Barr Homes in 2001.
John’s ability to discern market trends and decipher customer’s real needs was essential in designing staple floor plans and has been the key reason for Barr Homes’ success!
Building approximately 40 houses per year, Barr Homes key office employees are listed below and the remaining staff assists in the finishing details of each home.
Supervising and scheduling the subcontractors, Over 25 years of experience in the construction industry.
Barr Homes has the best group of hard working employees and subcontractors building high quality homes for its customers. Due to the stability of Barr Homes, the same core group of subcontractors have been working with Barr Homes for over 15 years. This enables Barr Homes to offer quality and consistency to its home buyers.
When deciding on a builder it is important to understand the standard features and allowances included in the base price of the home. Barr Homes has one of the lowest base prices in the area and is still able to offer many standard features that are considered upgrades by other builders. The standard features are specific to the floor plan that you choose. Refer to the standard features on the Floorplans page associated with each floor plan. Barr Homes also has many options and upgrades available as noted on the options list below. For more information and pricing on options and upgrades available, please contact the Barr Homes office.
Hard surface upgrades – tile bath floors, tile shower walls, granite countertops, etc.
*Option list shown above is not all-inclusive and is subject to change. Please contact the Barr Homes office for specific option questions and pricing.
One of the most common questions received from prospective buyers is “How long does it take to build a Barr Home?” The answer is roughly 7 months from the date of the purchase agreement. However, Barr Homes builds in many jurisdictions in the area and the turnaround time for permits and inspections can vary. Due to this variability, firm closing dates are unable to be set with a buyer until the initial inspections are completed.
If you are looking for a new home and do not have 7 months to wait, Barr Homes has the solution for you! Barr Homes is one of the largest spec builders in the area. There are homes for sale at all stages of construction all around the Omaha area.
Barr Homes standard warranty program includes a 1 year warranty on all defects, with a 30 day and 11 month follow-up. ProHome of Nebraska manages Barr Homes warranty and follows the guidelines established by the National Association of Home Builders.

If you are looking for a place to relax, rather than sightsee, Tuolumne Meadows is definitely the place for you. While not high on scenery, it does offer tranquility that not many other places offer, meaning you can lay back and really take in the majesty that is Yosemite’s natural landscape. Plus, during the early season, the place is filled with wildflowers and gorgeous green grass, adding even more to the pretty nature of this gigantic meadow (nearly 2 miles long, with a river winding through it). There are also some granite peaks that really give this the picturesque quality you have been looking for.
Fortunately, crowds aren’t a terrible problem at Tuolumne Meadows. It is very popular, but it is so big that you won’t have to worry about bumping elbows or fighting for photo ops.
More of a stroll than a hike, Tuolumne Meadows offers one of the easiest hikes in Yosemite. It is only a 2 mile hike, and can be shortened or lengthened depending on how far you want to go. Furthermore, it is very flat and it lacks any elevation gain at all, so you don’t have to worry about switchbacks or slopes. Just watch out for the high elevation and you’ll be fine.
It should only take you a couple of hours to hike there and see all you need, but make sure you plan your trip with some buffer room so you have time to sightsee while you are here.

If you've ever wondered what happened to the super cute and cunning childhood star from Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin, here's a video of his latest venture.
Culkin is part of a five piece band called The Pizza Underground. Inspired by songs of the Velvet Underground, the band play covers of their music with pizza based lyrics thrown in.
The video shows the band behind the scenes as they eat pizza and rehearse for their first gig in New York.
Lyrics are somehow twisted to mention pizza at every chance with songs such as Take a Walk on The Wild Side picking up a whole new meaning with Take a Bite of the Wild Slice. The sort of lyrics you might expect to hear if the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles somehow decided to leave the sewer, form a band and convince April to leave her well paid job reading the news to bang pizza boxes with them.
The music is actually ok and worth watching, but if you still like to imagine Culkin as the super cute Christmas face of Home Alone, step away now. This vid will quickly reveal he's a fully grown man, that he's currently in a band singing about pizza and this entire memory is not something you can easily forget.

In addition to experiencing the tragic loss of someone dear to us, grief visits us, as life sometimes overwhelms us with despair. As life events were making me feel that I had lost something, I realized I was experiencing feelings of grief. At first, I dismissed this notion as how could the loss of someone close compare with other tragedies? Nevertheless, I allowed myself to name the feelings as grief and look for comfort.
Years ago I came across a letter entitled Consolatio ad Uxorem by Plutarch, a Greek who in 6111AD composed a letter of consolation to his wife on the loss of their two year-old daughter. I revisited the letter again to see if I could find comfort from what Plutarch had written so long ago.
With a close reading of his letter, I found three phrases that offered solace and peace.
Plutach cautions his wife to beware of excess and superstition as the first steps toward reconciliation. Experiencing grief, my emotions overcome logic and balance. Emotions flood my brain with excesses probably related with the flight or fight response. I find it almost impossible to draw on reason. It seems that these excesses compounded with superstition, which fosters the belief that one cause is linked to another without evidence, encourages illogical and discouraging thoughts to dominate. Thoughts cycle round and round, locked by emotions and driven by assumptions. Aware of this cycle, it is possible to disengaged from thinking in loops.
In my feelings of grief, I’m constantly aware that if I allowed myself a selfish response by indulging grief, I would actually hurt people I am close to. This is not meant to say that we can’t let others know how we feel. Of course, we must do this, and loved ones want to offer comfort. Part of our comfort is accepting what others can give us, and sometimes holding back a bit of all that is overwhelming us might be a consideration. A friend of mind wisely once said when I suggested a disastrous possible outcome, “Don’t put that out in the air,” she said. I think what she meant is that some of our irrational thoughts gain momentum and validity, reinforcing what may not be helpful.
We experience lovely moments on this earth as we spin around the sun in the vast universe of emptiness. We are precious, for if we were found on a distant solar system, we would be celebrated as miraculous. We live on this planet after fourteen billion years as our universe continually expands at exactly the perfect rate. Supernovas create the elements necessary for life, and like the supernovas, we exist in a flash of time.
Plutarch comforts his wife to resist those manifestations that darken our thoughts leaving us unable to accept soothing influences. That is all we can do and all we must do, for our moments are precious and soon lost to the passage of time.

The only full-body shot of my outfit from Elizabeth's party was on her Instagram and wasn't really an outfit photo at all.
Thankfully, Elizabeth snapped a better photo of me with my camera, and though it didn't catch my pants or my shoes (which are super old J.Crew but here's a similar pair), she got the most important stuff.
Headshots are the new outfit posts, y'all.
Oh heyyyy pretty lady! I love that top!
you looked fabulous from head to toe and that headshot (if I do say so myself...) is perfect!!
Ooh loved that top and that necklace! Both are gorgeous!
Hey you're perfect. Obsessed with your sleeky all black outfit!!
I felt like a bank robber! SO STEALTHY.
haha indeed they are - your hair also looks awesome!
I love the necklace and your hair! So cute!
ummm that is a fantastic photo of you! that necklace is perfection.

Composer Judith Shatin is winning acclaim with her inventive music.
Composer Judith Shatin, a professor of music at the University of Virginia for 31 years, jokes that specializing in a particular musical genre might have been the “sane” approach to her career. Instead, she has opted to create music for practically every genre—orchestra, choral, chamber, solo instrument, voice, film, electronic—and while that decision has made her life hectic, it has also helped to burnish her reputation as a prolific and accomplished contemporary music composer.
While Shatin likes to push boundaries, she can also tackle more conventional themes. Last year also saw the premier of her Jefferson: In His Own Words, for narrator and orchestra. The first two performances were by the Illinois Symphony, with Bill Kurtis as narrator. (It was also performed by both the Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra and the Richmond Symphony Orchestra.) Shatin also recently composed the music for Rotunda—a film about the UVA landmark by filmmaker Robert Arnold.
Want to hear some Shatin music? Three of her works will be performed in the National Gallery of Art in D.C. on March 16 and 17 as part of a 70th anniversary celebration of that institution’s rotunda. One piece is electronic, one is for saxophone and the last is what she says is “a new piece for percussion and for percussion robots created by UVA graduate students.” Now that is cutting edge.
very funny too! humor often shows up in the music. i plan to go toNational Museum's performance in March.

Lawyers for participants in Marsh & McLennan Co.'s (MMC) Stock Investment Plan have hammered out a $35-million settlement with the company of allegations it violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by continuing to offer company stock as a retirement investment when it was no longer prudent.
U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has given preliminary approval to the deal and has scheduled a hearing for January 29 to consider a final decision on the settlement of the class-action suit, according to court documents. Class members were participants or beneficiaries of the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. Stock Investment Plan between July 1, 2000, and January 31, 2005.
The settlement comes in a consolidated case covering a series of participant lawsuits alleging that company officials knew or should have known that the company was engaging in bid rigging and price fixing that artificially inflated the value of its stock. In January 2005, the company agreed to set up a $850-million fund to compensate its clients.
In seeking McMahon’s blessing, lawyers pointed out that the settlement avoids the necessity of litigating a complex financial case.

We wanted a classic, formal event, but one where the party never stopped. We personally worked on every detail, from selecting the most amazing band to creating a menu based on our “healthy-eating habits” (we had quinoa instead of standard potatoes!).
The theme was modern romance and was captured with tons of beautiful flowers and candles. Our color scheme was mostly white with hints of blush, as well as violet up-lighting to make the room and dance floor glow. We used a wedding planner, Joni, who helped with coordination of vendors and ensured the night ran smoothly.
My dress was purchased at Boca Raton Bridal. I had searched high and low from Coral Gables to Palm Beach and finally found a dress that was classic, elegant, and modern. I wanted something form fitting, but wanted the elegance of a train and lace. This dress combined all of the features I was looking for so when I finally found it, I knew it was the one! I took my mom and grandma to see it and we were all sold!
I had always loved a chuppah that was natural and adorned with flowers. I worked with our designer to create a chuppah of dragonwood and curly willow branches accented with white hydrangea, French roses, seeded eucalyptus, and dusty miller.
I wanted something open to the sky so we could see the stars. To add in a touch of ritz, we hung a beautiful chandelier, which helped light up our ceremony. It was the perfect accent to a gorgeous chuppah. Design was by myself and Jon Buick of Xquisite Events.
Our main special touch was using my late grandfather’s tallit in the ceremony. We were wrapped in the tallit at the end of the ceremony while the rabbi recited the blessings.
The ceremony took place on a lawn overlooking the ocean, and the waves were heard throughout the ceremony. People still tell me how it was the most beautiful setting and hearing the waves crashing made it even more special.
I have a few favorite moments, but one that stands out was our personal vows – we each wrote something from the heart and had not shared it until that moment. Watching my husband tear up and speak from the heart was what this was all about.
However, breaking the glass and the kiss is also at the top of the list! Another memorable moment was the doors opening, looking out at a candlelit aisle, our family and friends smiling, my parents waiting for me a few steps away, and my husband waiting to greet us.
Our ketubah is papercut- so soft and elegant to match our style.
I had seen Emily Harris‘s work for years as she had photographed many friends’ weddings. Her style was real, yet soft and beautiful. We also wanted someone who we could see sharing our special day with, and both Emily and her husband fit right in with Chad and my family and friends. They captured all of our moments, yet allowed us to be fully present. We could not be happier.
We also used Caroline from Senderey Video, who did a great job! We just love our highlight film.
My wedding was truly a labor of love. I was involved with every detail from the font on the invitations to the color of the confetti (we had a confetti blast during the hora to get the party started) to the songs performed by the band.
We also created signature cocktails (his and hers) and designed signs for the bar: a CosmopoLEIGHtin and CHAD’s Cool-Aid!
We had personalized table numbers with our wedding hashtag on them as well.
We had balloon props that were amazing for pictures! Pink balloons for the bridesmaids, and Chad’s and my initial (L&C) as balloons as well. We also made a special prop for the photo booth with a picture of our family dog on it.
The white dance floor was another must-have detail – it really tied the room together. We also printed pictures of our grandparents who had passed and had them on display in the cocktail hour so they were there with us on this special day.
Chad and I had been taking dance classes for a year or so before we were engaged, so our first dance was another special moment as we created an elaborate dance with dips and lifts! It went off without a hitch!
The father-daughter dance was another special moment as my dad and I have a special relationship. My dad choose 2 songs and had the band create a version for us to dance to – it was truly special.
Our band, The Headliners, really made the wedding! I cannot say enough about them! They are so talented and, as you can see by pictures, they jump into the crowd to perform!
One funny story was how the band invited us on stage and then next thing I know my whole family took over the stage dancing! Standing on stage with my new husband, parents, sister, aunt, and uncle dancing and singing our hearts out was one of my favorite moments.
My advice would be enjoy every minute of the planning process as it goes by so fast! In addition, get all the major vendors selected early then just relax… things calm down and don’t pick up until a month or two before.
Some people say to try and relax the day of, my motto was relax the whole week before. Try to have everything complete by the Monday before the wedding – I had my timeline finalized, room layout and seating chart set, and everything checked off my list so I could just live in the moment. Take advantage of that week – get a massage, get your nails done, and just know all of your hard work will pay off.
Also – things will go wrong, remember only YOU notice. Don’t let it get you down -this is your wedding – it’s your time to smash the glass and have the best day of your life!
It seems the bride and groom enjoyed a lot. All the pictures are awesome. It’s good to hear that the wedding band made the event more memorable. I always advise people to add a wedding band to the event to make it more engaging and enjoyable.
Love!! Thanks for sharing our day!!

Here is absolutely delightful antique late 18th century Chinese export porcelain handled tea cup, beautifully hand decorated in enamel with a central floral design and a detailed hand painted border design around the rim, both inside and outside. This cup stands 2 1/4 inches tall and has a 2 1/4 inch diameter. I am selling this cup "as is" as it does have a hairline that runs down one side of the cup, through the front floral design and visible on the inside as shown in my close up photo's. It is still a lovely example of late eighteenth century antique Chinese export porcelain and otherwise free of chips, breaks or staining. I've included photo's from all sides attempting to accurately represent this handled antique Chinese export porcelain tea cup, it's beauty and it's wonderful condition. I will be sure this valuable piece is carefully packed and boxed for shipping.

Finally. Our new toilet facility at Lemlem Baro School was opened on March 20th. A large crowd of government officials and parents gathered at the school for the opening. Not only were the visitors interested in the squat toilets with which they are already familiar, they were particularly interested in the so-called Calamino Cistern, an innovative rainwater-collection water tank which can be made by the farmers themselves using a special mold. This cistern was created during our time at Hagereselam with Helvetas, and we had always planned to introduce this innovation to Raya when the toilets were built. Rainwater in the cistern will be used for cleaning/’flushing’ toilets and hand washing, and we were very lucky this year: early rain in March filled the cisterns for us so that we could demonstrate the water flow at the opening.
The new facility with 8 cubicles for each boys and girls in two separate buildings represents a huge improvement for the school and its general hygiene level. Our thanks to all who contributed to this project.
In Ethiopia, Christmas will be celebrated by those who are members of the Orthodox Christian church on January 7th. However, in many of the hamlets in rural Raya-Azebo in southern Tigray, there will be no gifts and no special food. Many families simply don’t have money to purchase anything special.
For the hundreds of young orphans in the region, a safe place to sleep in the coming weeks will already be a gift. There are no orphanages in Raya-Azebo. And while this year’s harvest was better than many, without suitable storage facilities and rainwater collection systems, the next disaster may loom again in a few months. This is no time to sit back, there is work to do.
It is often tough to work in Raya-Azebo. There is so much need everywhere, but in order to really help we have to stay focussed on sustainable goals. This past summer in particular, the deaths of a dozen high school students from our area who had been lured into illegal migration by traffickers showed clearly how important our education support and new high school scholarship program is becoming. When teenagers have a hope for the future, they are less likely to be seduced by lies.
This past year we have widened the scope of our activity. We have erected a rainwater storage facility at another school in the region, and have supported our two regional high schools with many issues. We have provided school furniture for a group of schools who had no desks for their students, and given clothes and sports goods to community groups and schools. We have taken a firm and visible stand against corruption. We are currently tackling the growing hygiene problem around Lemlem Baro School and through the Mehoni community by financing and overseeing the building of a toilet facility within the school so that our students don’t contribute to the problem. This is an expensive but crucial undertaking and we have become toilet experts over the past 2 years in preparation for the work. For this project we are urgently seeking further funding.
As we approach 2019 and our tenth year of work in northern Ethiopia with Ethiopian Enterprises, we have done some research into our impact. We can proudly claim that our efforts in these 9 years have positively impacted the lives of 50’000 people, and this is a conservative estimate. We will be publishing the details behind this claim when we enter our tenth year in January.
People in our area do not want to migrate, they do not want to become refugees. They want to stay in Ethiopia and create better lives for themselves and their children. The only way to help them do so is to help provide better education and better facilities, better training and know-how. That is what we are doing, with your help. We are immensely grateful to every person and institution who has donated to our work this year. On particularly tough days, it is your support which keeps us determined and focussed. While EE board members cover all their own costs, often for weeks at a time while working in Raya, the costs of our construction and other support work are significant. Every franc donated goes directly into our projects, and we hope that those of you who helped us in 2018 will stay with us in the coming year as we follow our path of endeavor. Our journey in Raya is not yet over.
Mehoni School Project leader Lesley has sent us some exciting news from Mehoni. The results of the highly competitive 10th grade high-school exams are now out. These results determine the future of Ethiopian students to a large degree. Those who pass with a high score have the opportunity to move on to so-called Preparatory School for two years, 11th and 12th grades. At the end of 12th grade, they then have a fiercely competitive examination to determine who can attend university.
Those who pass with slightly lower scores may have the chance to attend teacher training college. Those who don’t pass at all will need to try again if they want a chance to enter any adult education institutions.
Of the students in our pilot scholarship program, in which all but two students (11th grade) were in 10th grade, 50% have made it through to Preparatory School. In a rural region where most high schools only get 10-20% of students through to 11th grade, this is a sensational result. What is not sensational is that of these 11 students, only one was female.
Some of the remaining students may receive the option this month to attend teacher training college. They, like their colleagues at Preparatory School, will continue to receive support from us. In addition, we have selected 10 new students for the program who will be sponsored by a number of our members and donors.
The students reported to Lesley this week that their scholarships helped them focus on their school work and contributed greatly to their success. Perhaps equally important was the encouragement they received from Lesley and EE president Thomas Baumann, and our sponsors. This helped them stay at school. Many of them are orphans or half orphans who often have to support younger family members, and to have someone to share the burden for the first time in their lives was a very special experience for them.
This is how our scholarship students looked after a few months of receiving support for the first time in their lives.
Earlier this month we posted some details about our new high school and preparatory school scholarship program in the Mehoni region (Illegal Migration article from June 28th). The impact of the first year of this program is now clear to all, with good news reaching us from Mehoni a few days ago. Of the 25 students we assisted in 2017-2018, 10 finished their final high school year in the top 5% of all students ( 2’200 total!) and were celebrated in the final prize giving earlier this month. Our two preparatory students also topped their classes. This means that at the very least, half of the sponsored students will go on to preparatory school in September, and we are hoping that several more will make it as well.
All the students have thanked us for the opportunity they were given this past year, and claim that their success was greatly enhanced by the scholarship support they received. With your help we hope to at least double the number of scholarship recipients for the coming school year beginning in September. Please contact us at info@ethiopianenterprises.org if you would like to sponsor a student for the coming year.
The holiday break has started and we wish you all a wonderful summer. Thank you so much for your support.

Internal job postings are available for all to view and apply if it suits them the best. There clearly is no limitation on the kind of roles one can apply for. The underlying HR principles are employee friendly and promote employees to seamlessly move across the organization. We have very good examples across the organization at various seniority where people have opted and been selected for diverse roles.

You can create several different types of views in SQL Server 2008, including standard views, indexed views, and partitioned views. An indexed view has a unique clustered index defined on it that causes the view to be materialized. In other words, the creation of the index causes physical storage of the data related to the view’s index. Partitioned views join horizontally partitioned data from a set of distinct tables. They can be locally partitioned, meaning that the tables are on the same server; or they can be distributed, meaning that some of the tables exist on other servers.
Every column (including derived columns) must have a name.
The SELECT statement used in the view cannot include the COMPUTE BY clause or the INTO keyword.
The SELECT statement used in the view cannot include the ORDER BY clause.
The SELECT statement used in the view cannot contain temporary tables.
You cannot associate AFTER triggers with views, but you can associate INSTEAD OF triggers.
You cannot associate rules or default definitions with a view.
You cannot define a full-text index on a view.
A view can have a maximum of 1,024 columns. You can select all the columns for a view by using a SELECT * statement, but you need to use some caution when doing so. In particular, you must keep in mind that the view will not display columns that have been added to the view’s underlying tables after the view has been created. The fact that the new columns are not displayed can be a good thing but is sometimes overlooked. You can prevent changes to the underlying objects (for example, tables) by creating the view with SCHEMABINDING. SCHEMABINDING is discussed in the next section.
If you want the changes to the underlying objects to be reflected in the views, you can use the sp_refreshview stored procedure. This stored procedure updates the metadata for the specified non-schema-bound view.
To generate the executions for another object, you simply change the name of the object (that is, Person.Person) found at the end of the script to the name of the object you want to investigate.
With these guidelines in mind, you are now ready to create your view. Views can be created in SQL Server 2008 using T-SQL or SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
This statement and the related options are essentially the same in SQL Server 2008 as they were in SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000. We first look at a simple example for creating a view with T-SQL and then delve into several other examples that utilize the view attributes. Listing 1 shows a sample T-SQL statement for creating a simple view.
There are several important aspects to notice in the example in Listing 1. First, all the columns in the SELECT statement are derived columns and do not simply reference a column in a table. You do not need to have a derived column in your view, but if you do, the derived column(s) must have a name or an alias assigned to it to be able to create the view. The column name allows you to reference the derived column when selecting from the view. If the derived columns in the SELECT statement are not named, the CREATE VIEW statement will fail.
In many cases, it is best to create views that include the primary key columns from the underlying tables. This allows the views to be joined to other tables. Consider, for example, a view created on the Employee table in the Adventureworks2008 database. If you want to join that view to another table (such as EmployeeAddress), you need the primary key of the table (that is, Employee.EmployeeID) in the view.
Views can also be created with the following special view attributes: ENCRYPTION, SCHEMABINDING, and VIEW_METADATA. Each of these attributes and some other specialized views are discussed in the following sections.
The ENCRYPTION attribute causes the view definition to be stored as encrypted text in sys.syscomments. This feature is also available for stored procedures and other database code that you may want to protect. One issue to consider when you create a view using the ENCRYPTION option is that this option prevents the view from being published as part of SQL Server replication.
The SCHEMABINDING attribute binds a view to the schema of the underlying table(s) referenced in the view’s SELECT statement. This binding action prevents any changes to the underlying tables that would affect the view definition. For example, if you have a view that includes the Employee.Title column, this column cannot be altered or dropped in the Employee table. If schema changes are attempted on the underlying tables, an error message is returned, and the change is not allowed. The only way to make the change is to drop the view or alter the view to remove the SCHEMABINDING attribute.
Views created with SCHEMABINDING have been used in the past to simply prevent changes to the underlying schema. Any table for which you wanted to prevent schema changes was included in a view, and this essentially locked the definition of the table. This approach is no longer needed because you can accomplish the same thing using DDL triggers, which can react to schema changes and prevent them if desired.
When the VIEW_METADATA option is specified, SQL Server returns information about the view, as opposed to the base tables. This happens when browse-mode metadata is requested for a query that references the view via a database API. Browse-mode metadata is additional information returned by SQL Server to client-side DBLIB, ODBC, and OLE DB APIs, which allows them to implement client-side updatable cursors.
WITH CHECK OPTION forces all data modifications made through a view to adhere to the conditions in the view. The example shown in Listing 2 shows a view created using WITH CHECK OPTION.
SQL Server 2008 provides a graphical tool, called the View Designer, you can use to create views. This tool can be an invaluable aid when you are creating or modifying a view. The View Designer is equipped with four panes that provide the information relative to the view. Figure 1 shows the View Designer display for the Person.vStateProvinceCountryRegion view installed in the Adventureworks2008 database. To view an existing view in the View Designer, right-click on the view listed in the Object Explorer and select Design. To create a new view via the View Designer, right-click the Views node in the Object Explorer and select New View. An empty View Designer is displayed.
Figure 1. The View Designer window.
Diagram pane— Gives a graphical view of the tables that are part of the view. This includes the columns in the tables and relationships between the tables contained in the view.
Criteria pane— Displays all the columns selected in the view and allows for sorting, filtering, and other related column-oriented criteria.
SQL pane— Renders the T-SQL associated with the view.
Results pane— Shows the results of that view’s SELECT statement.
The panes in the View Designer are dependent on each other. If you add a WHERE clause in the SQL pane, the corresponding Filter value is added in the Criteria pane. Similarly, if you right-click in the Diagram pane and add a table to the view, the Criteria and SQL panes are updated to reflect this change.
One of the most amazing features of the View Designer is the capability to render a SQL statement into its graphical form. You can copy T-SQL into the SQL pane, and the View Designer reverse-engineers the tables into the Diagram pane, giving you a graphical display of the query. Some complex SQL statements cannot be rendered, but many of them can. Give it a try; you will be impressed.
You can control the View Designer via the Query Designer menu option as well. Adding a new table, verifying the T-SQL, and changing the panes displayed are just some of the options available on this menu.
The View Designer does not allow you to set every attribute of a view. It is a great starting point for creating a view, but you need to set some attributes using T-SQL after creating the view. For example, you cannot specify WITH CHECK OPTION in the View Designer, but you can set it by altering the view after it has been created.
There is also no option to script a view from the View Designer. You must close the View Designer first, and then you are asked whether you want to save the view. If you click Yes, a prompt allows you to specify a name.
The Properties window displays information about the view and also allows you to enter additional view properties. If this window is not visible, you can select the Properties window from the View menu or simply press F4. The properties you can set on the view include (but are not limited to) a description, the schema that owns the view, and whether to bind the view to the schema. Figure 2 shows the Properties window for the Person.vStateProvinceCountryRegion view that we looked at earlier.
Figure 2. The view’s Properties window.
After defining a view using the panes in the View Designer and setting its properties, you can choose to save the view. You are prompted to give it a name. After you save the view, it appears in the Object Explorer tree.

building a server aimed squarely on the lowest end of the market items an interesting challenge. can charge is definitely the greatest driver for this market and often steers consumers toward the usage of a desktop machine or a refurbished server.
With that in intellect, then you definitely should feel about the minimal set of elements a server of this class should still encompass. Specs for accessories like CPUs, storage drives and reminiscence without delay affect cost and might rapidly pressure the universal fee too high.
HP has produced a line of ProLiant MicroServers seeing that 2010, receiving marginal success within the united states. a part of the issue with the common units changed into the low-conclusion CPU and lack of improvements, which confined its usefulness for many purchasers. each of those concerns were at once addressed with the introduction of the brand new HP MicroServer Gen8.
CPU alternatives now include an Intel Core i3 and as much as sixteen GB of reminiscence. There are two 1GbE networking ports plus an extra port for out-of-band administration. Two USB three.0 ports on the entrance coupled with two USB 2.0 ports front and rear provide fabulous growth capability. Add to that an inside USB 2.0 port plus a microSDHC slot for boot media and you have a very good set of alternate options for your use.
along with the introduction of the brand new servers comes a brand new 8-port swap primarily designed to marry properly with the server box. This change is wholly managed and springs with the means to detect all HP MicroServer Gen8 techniques connected to any port. It additionally has the capacity to mixture two ports using the hyperlink Aggregation manage Protocol (LACP) usual to supply as much as 2 GB of community bandwidth.
HP has included many of the elements traditionally found most effective on commercial enterprise-classification servers into the brand new HP MicroServer Gen8. Our equipment as supplied came with an Intel Core i3-3220T CPU running at 2.eight GHz, 8 GB of reminiscence and two 2TB disk drives. inner pressure bays accommodate up to four tremendous form factor disk drives.
The system also comprises an embedded wise Array B120i disk controller for greater hardware-assisted RAID. earlier than any operating equipment will also be installed, you should configure your disks for whichever RAID level you desire the usage of the Array Configuration Utility (see determine 1, which that you may click on on for a bigger photograph) purchasable from the boot monitor.
you're going to discover a couple of software tools protected for setup and for diagnosing problems. The HP insight Diagnostics device gives exact suggestions in regards to the device components and suggests their current popularity (see figure 2).
the primary time you vigour up the system it's going to try to obtain an IP tackle for the iLO administration agent the usage of DHCP. Subsequent boots will monitor the iLO IP address on the backside of the boot monitor (see figure 3). which you can entry the whole iLO functionality with any internet browser able to connect to that IP tackle.
An intelligent Provisioning function guides you throughout the procedure of setting up an operating gadget on the HP MicroServer Gen8. one of the crucial options, similar to VMware ESXi, require you to download a customized HP image before beginning the manner.
We had been in a position to effectively set up both ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 onto a USB key and boot the HP MicroServer Gen8 with a minimal amount of effort. the important thing to success here was the customized HP ESXi photograph and the automated driver setting up for Hyper-V Server.
HP's enterprise-class servers all include their integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management tool. HP now makes this equal device attainable on the HP MicroServer Gen8.
This might definitely be a huge deal for any enterprise looking at the possibility of the use of one of these systems as a department-office server. With iLO you have got the potential to hook up with a virtual console on the computing device and remotely connect native substances similar to an ISO file or physical DVD pressure, enabling them to seem as native elements on the remote computing device. This makes installation new utility or updates extraordinarily handy.
The HP MicroServer Gen8 ships with a basic iLO potential that meets the wants of most SMB clients. Two additional options, iLO necessities and iLO advanced, deliver extra performance that would be of pastime to agencies with existing iLO administration tools. The virtual media means requires iLO essentials. HP iLO superior contains greater safety, console collaboration, virtual serial port listing and playback, plus further power management tools.
The starting fee for the new HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 is $449 for a system with an Intel Celeron G1610T, 2GB of memory and no challenging drives. the bottom fee for the Intel Core i3-based mostly equipment is $529. You can buy reminiscence from HP or do it yourself. complicated disks are also non-compulsory and may be put in via the conclusion user or purchased from HP.

Which basically says that you have to create a sparse disk image and put that on your external network drive and mount it.
Notice that I chose 128 bit encryption for the sparse image.
I add that to my network drive and mount it.
That works great, when I open timemachine it is setup with that disk and I can perform backups.
Normally if you can find the drive on the network through the TimeMachine UI, there is a checkbox to encrypt your backups. However when using tmutil on the command line I do not believe that there is an option for that.
Is there a way I can get time machine to perform encrypted backups using this method?
If not is there a way that I can mount this external network drive in such a way that the TimeMachine UI will be able to see it on the network so I can select it as a backup drive?

On June 21, the U.S. Supreme Court upended the online retail industry, giving states the power to force online retailers to collect sales tax from sales to consumers.
Prior to the landmark South Dakota v. Wayfair decision, the Department of Revenue in Massachusetts was unable to force online retailers that did not have a physical presence in the Commonwealth to collect and pay sales tax on goods sold to consumers in the state.
The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Wayfair overruled 50 years of precedent and dramatically altered the tax rules for states, online retailers, and brick-and-mortar retailers.
The decision creates a level playing field for brick-and-mortar retailers by allowing states to collect sales tax that has evaded collection in many online transactions. Massachusetts small businesses with an online retail business, however, are now faced with substantial increases in their cost of doing business.
The 5-4 decision in Wayfair overruled the Supreme Court’s divisive 1992 rule in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, which states have tried to “kill” for years through lawsuits and regulation.
To understand the significance of Wayfair, it is necessary to understand some of the history leading up to it.
In National Bellas Hess v. Department of Revenue of Illinois, 386 U.S. 753 (1967), the Supreme Court ruled that a mail-order reseller was not required to collect sales tax unless it had some physical contact with the state.
Located in Missouri, National Bellas Hess was a mail-order seller of various consumer products. It owned no tangible property in Illinois and had no sales outlets, representatives, telephone listing, or solicitors in that state. It mailed catalogs to customers, and orders for merchandise were mailed to its Missouri plant. Goods were sent to customers by mail or common carrier.
The state of Illinois attempted to force National Bellas Hess to collect sales tax from its customers. The Supreme Court held that the commerce clause prohibits a state from imposing the duty of use tax collection and payment upon a seller whose only connection with customers in the state is by common carrier or by mail.
Ten years later, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mississippi in Complete Auto Transit, Inc. v. Brady, 430 U.S. 274 (1977).
Complete Auto was an auto transporter that moved vehicles from the railhead at Jackson, Mississippi, to dealerships.
The Mississippi State Tax Commission levied a tax on Complete Auto “for the privilege of engaging or continuing in business or doing business” in the state. Complete Auto argued that the tax was unconstitutional because Complete Auto was part of an interstate operation and that such a tax is therefore a violation of the commerce clause.
The Supreme Court held that businesses involved in interstate commerce should assume a just share of the state tax burden and established four criteria to be met for a state tax to be valid and not an unreasonable burden on interstate commerce: The tax must be (1) based on an activity connected to the state, (2) fairly apportioned, (3) nondiscriminatory, and (4) related to state services provided by the state.
In 1992, the Supreme Court revisited National Bellas Hess and Complete Auto in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota.
North Dakota argued that under due process, Quill Corp. had established a presence in North Dakota as the floppy disks holding Quill’s software provided to North Dakota customers were physically located in their state.
The court stated that the commerce clause gives the federal government power to regulate interstate commerce and prohibits certain state actions, such as applying duties that interfere with trade among the states. The court also concluded that Complete Auto did not limit or undo its holding in National Bellas Hess.
The court held that a corporation can have the minimum contacts required by due process and still fall short of the substantial nexus required by the dormant commerce clause. The court also stated that the bright-line rule of National Bellas Hess “furthers the ends” of the dormant commerce clause.
Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy stressed the impact of modern technology.
Although the court struck down Quill, it said the four-pronged test from Complete Autoremains the standard for commerce clause disputes. The court did not rule whether South Dakota’s economic nexus law would be valid under the Complete Auto analysis and remanded the case for further proceedings.
Justice Kennedy’s opinion, however, suggested that South Dakota’s sales tax law would likely pass muster and noted the following in support: (1) the $100,000 sales and 200 transaction “safe harbor” that could not be exceeded “unless the seller availed itself of the substantial privilege of carrying on a business in South Dakota”; (2) the law’s protection against retroactive application; and (3) South Dakota’s adoption of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement.
In the dissenting opinion, the Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that it should be left up to Congress to regulate commerce and that the court’s ruling may have torpedoed attempts by Congress to find a legislative solution that could apply to all states.
“Armed with today’s decision, state officials can be expected to redirect their attention from working with Congress on a national solution, to securing new tax revenue from remote retailer,” Roberts wrote.
For Massachusetts, the ability to require sales tax collection from all online sellers last year would have meant between $169 million and $279 million in additional revenue, a GAO report found.
The question remaining after Wayfair is whether Massachusetts’ sales tax nexus law, DOR Directive 17-1, is constitutional.
Directive 17-1 applies to online retailers who sell more than $500,000 in tangible personal property to Massachusetts consumers in more than 100 transactions, requiring them to register and collect sales tax on sales to Massachusetts consumers. This “safe harbor” provision appears to provide online retailers greater protection than what the Supreme Court seemed to indicate was sufficient for South Dakota’s tax authority.
Thus, Massachusetts would likely satisfy the fourth prong of Complete Auto since online retailers will enjoy the benefit of being able to avail themselves of Massachusetts state courts for potential disputes with consumers and police protection to ensure safe delivery of their product.
Massachusetts brick-and-mortar retailers can now feel like they are operating on a level playing field with online retailers. The proliferation of smart phones and internet access allows for direct price comparison while shopping in stores. Sales tax, however, may no longer be a factor in such comparison shopping, as the tax may now be collected both for in-store and online purchases.
Although the majority opinion noted the availability and anticipated proliferation of sales tax management software, it remains to be seen whether software that is robust enough to keep up with changes in sales tax laws across 10,000 jurisdictions will actually be cost effective. Moreover, software does not prevent audits.
Indeed, anyone who has endured a sales and use tax audit in Massachusetts knows that it is a tedious and time-consuming process. Retailers must have all transactions documented properly and be prepared to have register tapes or whatever other information is used to record individual transactions, including exemption certificates.
The auditor will have the right to require the business to show sales tax returns; excise tax returns; documentation for use tax, retail sales tax, business and occupational tax; and all critical records related to the business.
In addition, the auditor will require a business to produce bank records to compare the sales tax returns to actual sales.
The Wayfair decision gives states that rely on sales tax as a source of revenue the opportunity to collect what is owed and levels the playing field somewhat between online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Large online retailers, such as Amazon, that already voluntarily collect sales tax will be able to absorb the additional cost of doing business much easier than small businesses. Small online retailers are left with a great deal of uncertainty over when to collect sales tax, how to do it efficiently, and how to comply. The bottom line: Their cost of doing business likely just increased dramatically.

BLOOMBERG'S PETER COOK: We are joined by Congressman Chris Van Hollen, who is the top Democrat out of the Budget Committee. You were there at the Peterson Foundation event yesterday. Maybe you saw the Speaker's comments. Your reaction to the ultimatum he has put down? CONGRESSMAN CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: Well it is a very reckless step to take, a very reckless step for our economy. There is no dispute that we need to reduce our long-term deficits. The issue is how. Republicans have rejected the balanced approach that every bipartisan group has proposed, and now the Speaker of the House is out there again creating a self- inflicted wound on the economy. This is a manufactured crisis just like it was last August, but it is not harmless. It creates greater uncertainty in the marketplace and hurts the economy, and so those kinds of reckless statements should be simply out of bounds. To suggest that the United States is not going to pay its bills, to threaten that we will not abide by the full faith and credit of the United States is not fiscally responsible. It is fiscally reckless and irresponsible. I would also point out -- COOK: Let me ask you this -- there are certainly some viewers who might look at what John Boehner is talking about, sees the size of the federal deficit, and say, is it unreasonable to match spending cuts with an increase in the debt ceiling. What is wrong with the Boehner principle in principle? VAN HOLLEN: There are two issues. Number one, they have rejected the balanced approach to deficit reduction that combines cuts, which we have to make, with cuts to a lot of the tax loopholes. So he said we are only going to do this one way, and not in a balanced way, in a lopsided way. Number two, if you look at the House Republican budget, which they passed and the Speaker supported, it requires that you raise the debt ceiling by $5.2 trillion dollars over the next ten years. So the House Republican budget violates the rule -- the principle -- that was laid down by the Speaker of the House yesterday. You can't have it both ways. That is totally hypocritical. Beyond that, it is reckless in terms of creating uncertainties and laying down these lines when in fact what we need to be doing is coming together to find a way to deal with the issue. COOK: We are short on time. We have got this fiscal cliff coming at the end of the year. This debt ceiling is just part of that discussion. For our viewers, for investors out there worried about what's going to happen, are we headed for gridlock? VAN HOLLEN: What I think all of us hope is that all these events will in fact force a productive solution. In other words, these are action-forcing events. By law, all the 2001, 2003 tax cuts expire. By law, the sequester will take place. By law, we have to deal with the debt ceiling issue. So the convergence of these events, I hope, will produce a focusing of the minds, that leads to a productive result. The danger is it is a combustible cocktail and you get something very bad -- a kind of train wreck. But I am very hopeful that we will work together to avoid those issues. But in order to do that, we cannot be making these ultimatums. And number two, you will have to be prepared to take a balanced approach to deficit reduction.

The Honor 7A is the more affordable of the two and is priced at Rs 8999 (3GB RAM) in India. The Xiaomi Redmi 5, even though starts at a price of Rs 7999, is priced at Rs 8999 for the 3GB RAM variant. While the Honor 7A is available via Flipkart and HiHonor.com, the Redmi 5 retails via Amazon and Mi.com Both the smartphones, unlike some of their more expensive counterparts, are readily available and users don’t have to wait for flash sales.
While both the smartphones sport an 18:9 aspect ratio, the bezels are thicker on both the devices compared to some premium devices. However, a screen-to-body ratio of over 75% for both the smartphones is a respectable number. The Honor 7A sports a 5.7 inch IPS LCD display with a 1440 x 720 px and a 2.5 D curved glass for protection. The Redmi 5 also has a 5.7 inch IPS LCD 1440 x 720 px display.
The main differentiating factor between the two smartphones is on the back. The Redmi 5 has a 12MP camera at the back with 1.25-micron pixel size and an f/2.2 aperture. The Honor 7A, on the other hand, has a dual-camera setup with a 13MP RGB sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. The main sensor helps the smartphone to capture the picture and the secondary sensor adds the depth effect. While the Honor 7A is priced only Rs 1000 higher than the Redmi 5, it does offer better camera specifications thanks to the presence of a dual-camera setup. To the front of the Redmi 5 is a 5MP camera while the Honor 7A has an 8MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and an LED flash.
The Redmi 5 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset while the Honor 7A runs on the Snapdragon 430 SoC. The Honor 7A is only available in one variant with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage while the Redmi 5 has 2GB, 3GB or 4GB of RAM, and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of onboard storage. Both the smartphones offer storage expandability, although the Honor 7A has a dedicated microSD card slot while the Redmi 5 has a hybrid microSD card slot. The fingerprint sensor is placed on the back of both the devices.
Let’s now compare the specifications of both the smartphones. For a level playing field, we’re comparing the 3GB RAM model of the Redmi 5 with the Honor 7A since both the smartphones are priced exactly the same.

I watched the episode with the cats, liked it, and plan to watch more.
Pretty awesome, right? Watch all of them!
I hadn’t heard about it. Will check it out.
Yes, you should. It is pretty good. Let me know what you think after.
I’ve watched the entire season and am really looking forward to the next one. I loved the fact that each episode had a unique style… and the amazing storylines!
That is exactly what I liked about it, too! Let’s hope they keep the series going.
You may also enjoy this 1-minute “making of” video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhXDb69wl4 It’s not from my favorite episode (that would be the Hitler one, for sheer originality and for the laughs) but it’s still nice to see the progression from concept to storyboard to modeling to final animation.
Well, it’s interesting to imagine it. I wouldn’t like to experience such changes either.

Picha Booth is in the business of capturing memories, and part of that includes making everyone laugh and have a good time. Most people are at first apprehensive about letting their inner child through, an indication that life has for a long time required them to be serious.
Don’t wait for a photo booth company to help you unwind and let loose. We’re here to remind you that it’s something you can purpose to do if your life is to acquire a rosy hue. Or at least be bearable.
We want you to have fun so this week we ask you to keep it simple. If you have a few moments, list all the things that make you happy and constitute for fun. It can be as simple or as complex as you wish it to; it just has to be within your means.
Wondering how that looks like? Staring at your child long enough to notice some things you’d actually missed and playing with them. For another it is making ugali and eggs for dinner because it’s a proper throwback and a reminder of the good old days. If you’re like some of us, watching a movie that gives us a hearty cry is our idea of having a good time. Even a conversation with someone you haven’t talked to in a while counts, catching up on the latest gossip.
Don’t wait for the weekend for your life to feel bearable. Look for ways in your everyday life to cheer yourself up. Once you learn to have fun, science tells us that you will live longer. Decide today to swap your eye rolls for a smile as you indulge in something that reminds you of what it feels like to be a child again. We dare you to try have fun.

An Iowa woman who was ticketed for speeding in Nebraska perhaps didn’t take the citation seriously – deputies clocked her driving at 142 mph as she accelerated away from the traffic stop.
The Lincoln County sheriff’s office says the 31-year-old woman from Council Bluffs was eventually arrested on suspicion of willful reckless driving after deputies caught up with her for a second time early Saturday.
Deputies first stopped the 2018 Ford Mustang around 1 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 80 near North Platte after it was recorded driving 92 mph in a 75 mph zone. The driver was cited and told she could leave.
But she took off at speed and the deputies gave chase, using radar to clock her driving at 142 mph.
Online court records don’t indicate formal charges.
Well, I guess she had to make up for lost time.
Clocked at 142mph? A Mustang can go that fast? I remember, back in the day (late 80’s), driving with a couple of bachurim in the Florida Keys, a Mustang maxing out at 110 on the speedometer (before getting pulled over).

This large antiques fair takes place at the Newark and Nottinghamshire Showground in Newark (NG24 2NY). We arrived at just after 9am, which is opening time, and whilst there was traffic we parked quickly. There is extensive free parking close to the entrance. At this time in the morning tickets are for sale from a cabin by the gate. £20 per person entry and you get a little cardboard tab to attack to your coat. The colour depends on which fair you are at. Having had a long drive up to the show we stopped immediately for coffee and tea from the first truck we came across (filter coffee £2.40 / tea £2.00). Toilets nearby too. You can pick up a map at the entrance too which is a good idea if this is your first time.
There is a great choice of stalls and pretty much everything is covered from vintage furniture to antique furniture, bone china tea sets to Pyrex and Tupperware. For most of the dealers this is familiar territory for them. Most are chatty and prepared to discuss prices.
From our vintage perspective we were pleased to see Pyrex, Tupperware, luggage, art, enamelware and Ercol and G plan. There is not an extensive vintage choice but we did pick up a nest of Ercol pebble tables and a Meakin Tea Set, both at very reasonable prices.
Take a trolley, this is a big fair which takes a few hours to get round, you will be grateful!
Be prepared to rummage to find a gem!
Don’t be afraid to haggle, just be polite and reasonable with the dealer – this is their living.
The ticket is good for entrance on the second day.
Take cash – there is a cash machine on site but it costs £3 to use. Some (not all) dealers can take cards.

Putting secrets of baseball to work on your shop floor!
There are baseball lessons that will improve manufacturing production, increase efficiency, and deliver real-time shop floor visibility and control.
Baseball is a tradition in Cincinnati (the home of CIMx). Every spring, little league baseball teams appear in every open field, and residents sport at least one (and probably more) piece of Cincinnati Reds apparel. The city is awash in a sea of red and white for every home game. Excitement for the game is infectious.
What can baseball teach you about your shop floor? Or mobile manufacturing? Or quality? The answer will surprise you.
So I leapt at a recent invitation to a game. A few friends offered me an extra ticket. It was a great game! The home team won, I got beer and a hot dog. But, I didn’t know it was a “working” game. It turns out one of my friends was a baseball statistician, and we were there to help with a project.
While I watched the game for a wicked curveball, a nice defensive play, or a massive home run, my friend was thinking about probability, applied statistical methods, quantitative analysis and variance theory. During the game, each of us had a notebook filled with lines and data collection notes. My job was to collect data on each pitch. It was hard work! I had scribbled notes in the margins, question marks all over the page. Ever try to see the difference between a slider or a split finger fastball from the second tier of a stadium?
And when we were done, sitting at the bar over wings, collating the data was a huge headache. A key data point was lost under mustard. Another page of data was missing, likely victim of an overzealous stadium attendant. My statistician friend was not amused at my unscientific “guess-timates.” After 3 hours of collating, we left without a clear mathematical picture of the game. All we had was a messy collection of data points that inspired little confidence.
Which, unfortunately, reminds me of shop floor data collection and as-built records for many manufacturers.
I’ll admit my friend set-up what seemed like a “can’t-miss, error-free” system for collecting data. I just had to mark the sheet for each pitch, log the number for each batter and pitcher, and keep track of when and where in the game we were. Sounds simple, right? It was, until reality hit. We had pitching changes and substitute batters (change orders), bathroom breaks (user-errors), missing and torn notebooks (paper-errors), unreadable data (shop-errors), unreadable notes (input-errors). All five of us at the game are college-graduates with successful careers, but I was amazed at the number of errors we ran into during the course of a single game. It was the perfect example of the challenges facing shop floor data collection.
What opportunities for improvement are you letting slip by?
The cost in effort, manpower, and money to create an accurate as-built with paper records is a losing proposition. Quality? Unless you have a strong data collection system, then quality production analysis is going to be a “guess-stimate.” Want to use real-time data to track orders or improve production? Can’t do it when your data sits getting dusty in the margins of your as-built book or work order traveler until someone types it into your database. Can you really say your data is secure cruising around the shop floor? Looking at Lean Manufacturing or Six-Sigma production improvement? Paper data collection will not get your team where it needs to be. How long does it take you to answer a production question when a customer calls? Is that acceptable?
So how does baseball keep such accurate records and data? They have a team of statisticians collecting data throughout the game and a digital system collecting data and identifying errors, which are quickly corrected when needed. Data is kept in a secure location (so stadium attendants can’t clean it away). The system is designed to automatically create usable records (real-time reporting) from the data so baseball junkies can get their fill of real time baseball stats at the click of a button.
We have accurate baseball records going back decades. This is data we can trust (as long as you ignore potential “juicing” in your analysis). Want to know how the Cincinnati Reds did in 1982? The data is there, accessible at a push of a button, and it is trustworthy. Not that you would want that data, because it happens to be one of the worst seasons for the Reds (first time they finished in last place since 1937).
Your shop floor can and should work like that. Data collection should be a seamless part of the process for real time data collection, just like the team of data junkies that pore over and analyze every baseball game. Ensure accurate data with built-in safeguards. Improve quality with a system that compares work plans with current data, flagging non-conformances. Production improvement is possible only with accurate and efficient data collection. What could you do with anywhere, anytime access to real production data? If the baseball brainiacs can access the pitch count from a random game five years ago, why can’t your shop floor produce accurate as-builts when it comes time for an audit?
The truth is, they can. It is not difficult to implement shop floor data collection. A controlled, phased implementation is a low-risk process that ensures an ROI for each phase, and will improve production, reduce errors, ensure quality, and create accurate real-time records that for an easy, timely, and efficient audit.
So, my first effort at baseball stadium data collection was a failure (but did get me a free baseball game, beer, a hot dog, and wings… so it wasn’t THAT much of a failure). But, we learned a lesson. Next time, we’re going with tablets and an app (our own version of mobile manufacturing). A laptop is collecting data and correlating it for real time accuracy. We set up a process one evening, tested it during a game on TV, and it’s ready to be implemented at the next game.
What kind of shop floor data collection system do you have? How do you use and control your production data? How quickly can you prepare for an audit? If you’d like to know more about how you can improve your manufacturing process and shop floor data collection, contact us today. We’re happy to help.

It's only appropriate to spend a first date at Fairmount Park, because both are definitely a gamble, with the odds against you. Pick a horse, plunk down some money and then enjoy two minutes of wild excitement while you wonder whether your pony will prevail or peter out. As for the awkward pauses associated with first dates, there's the diversion of the Daily Racing Form. You can eat and drink there, to boot, so as to have a clearer perspective on your chances. Plus, if the date bombs, there's always the chance that at least your horse beat the odds.

This week on the LOE Podcast I chat with Jessica Rasdall. Jessica is a Motivational Speaker, Best Selling Author, Public Speaking Strategist and the host of The Creative Speaker Podcast. She partners with small business owners to craft stories and presentations that connect with their audience and stand out in a crowded market. Jessica has shared her story of turning her “mess into a message” for over twelve years and has been featured on major international media outlets such as ABC's 20/20, Katie Couric, The Guardian, MTV, Netflix and much more.
By rewriting their story, her clients are transforming what were once considered limitations into some of their greatest business assets. In this episode Jessica shares how her traumatic mistake and losing her childhood best friend inspired her to share her message in hopes that it would prevent others from making the same mistake, why storytelling is so important, how you can get over the fear of sharing your story and use it to build your brand and so much more.
After a tragic accident that killed Jessica’s childhood best friend, Jessica made it her mission to share her experience with other young people to make sure that they didn’t make the same mistake that she made. It has become her way of not only keeping her bestfriends memory alive but also helping other women get comfortable with sharing the most difficult parts of their stories.
In addition to seeking therapy, she made a point to keep busy and constantly make it a point to deal with it. She knew that if she stopped, it would eat her up inside. After she came home from prison, she pushed herself into changing her narrative so that she could share her story in a way that would help other people and still protect yourself. Which is what led her to helping other women how to effectively share their stories.
First she says don’t ever feel like your story isn’t important. There will also be someone who can connect with what you’re saying. Next, you don’t have to always start with the story. Instead, think about your audience first and what they need from you. From there, get down to the facts and remove as much emotion as you can.

We have decided on the winners of the “air potato beetles at work” photo contest. Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry. It was difficult to pick the winners, but here they are…..
Thank you very much to our judges and everyone who entered. And don’t forget to keep on posting interesting pictures!
Here is a quick video showing the winning entries and the runner ups!
Congrats to the contest winners! It was fun getting a peek into beetle lives around the state.
My air potato beetle population started with one single beetle that flew in from somewhere else and 50 larvae that I guess were hers. My acre or so of air potato vines are now mostly skeletonized!!

SisterBrother photographer Darren Braun put together this photo series to accompany the story, “Solving Life’s Mysteries, Great and Small!” in the November 2013 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.
A combo of set photography and post production wizardry was used to create bright, vivacious imagery. Assistant Stylist Ashley McPherren was also on hand to help make these images come alive.
Such lush color in this work.
