How do I change default minimap background to the winter one?
It seems you could spot the things on white background better than on the regular green one.
Extract the "dota_winter.vtf" or any other theme you want.
I don't have "overviews" folder, so I created a new one, pasted "dota.vft" and it still shows default minimap.
Edit: nevermind, renamed the file to "vtf" and it worked.

In 2017, Sadiq Khan – Mayor of London – announced his ambition for London to be the world’s leading smart city. London’s first Chief Digital Officer, Theo Blackwell, will lead the ‘Smart London plan‘ to realise this goal. Blackwell launched the plan last month, with five key missions and over 20 initiatives outlined.
To combat this, digital inclusion will be a big focus of this mission.
It has been estimated that by 2020, the data sector will create around £322bn of economic value to the UK. To continue this growth, the plan proposes a citywide approach to how we treat data. This includes an infrastructure developed in collaboration with the capital’s partners. Khan will establish the London Office for Data Analytics (LODA) programme, which aims to aid standard identification of the names and footprints of London’s buildings. Furthermore, to better protect the capital’s citizens, a new cybersecurity strategy will be developed.
The ‘Connected London’ programme aims to tackle the city’s ‘notspots’ (areas of poor internet provision) and prepare for the rollout of 5G. Khan has already started working with TfL to bring mobile coverage to London Underground. There are also plans to link 50 public buildings to the fibre network on the Tube. This will provide extra local connectivity to the surrounding area. GovWifi is being developed as a unified citywide network to improve the availability of public Wi-Fi.
Better digital leadership is needed to aid this. The government is collaborating with the Government Digital Service to improve training availability. More investment is also being made into young talent, ensuring digital skills are being developed throughout education.
New partnerships will be formed with the tech sector to further improve how the city’s public services work together. Khan proposes a new London Office of Technology & Innovation. ‘Keystone issues’ holding back the development of better public services for citizens will be targeted. The clear focus for this mission is openness. This applies to London’s boroughs as well as other cities, both in the UK and globally.
Read more on how smart cities are shaping the future of the planet.

Thank you to WHUS for letting us use their space, and of course to Theresa for reading!
So hard that they’ve shaken the house.
Breaking their teeth on vodka bottles.
Because she didn’t love him back.
Trying to tend to heartaches.
Coating my skin with silt and regrets.
“Hi, my name is Theresa Persico. I’m a freshman at UConn Stamford, and I’m a major in English. I started poetry probably as like a coping mechanism, and probably because it was my own kind of thing, like none of my friends are really cool about it, so, it was like a me thing. I grew up, my parents were divorced when I was younger, and I developed an eating disorder, so it was more of like a coping mechanism and it was a way I could like control my own situation as a way of not doing those things, but as a way of like doing something healthy, and like doing my own emotions and working them out with like how I could perceive other people’s emotions.
I people watch a lot. I look at those people, as like a person, I’d be like, and I’d make up a whole little story about them and be like what would their life be like if I did this this and this and then I’d like write poetry about like what I think their life is like.
I’m really into the movie Heathers. Like, that is a big influence on my writing, and I love- I love Winona Ryder. She’s amazing. But I like to use like a lot of music, like the music I listen to is like blackbear and Logic and a lot of them like express their emotions very openly, and they basically like just write out their problems in like a musical thing- which is- poetry kind of is in a way- it’s just like that without like music in the background. So it’s the base of me like writing that, and you can use like the refrain as like what the chorus would be. So it’s kind of like a mix.
Open expression to me in poetry kind of is like you’re being able to express your emotions. Like you’re not hiding behind the screen or behind your pen, or you’re not like, trying to like make yourself fit into somebody else’s mold, like you’re not trying to twist yourself to fit somebody else’s image. Like, you’re you, you’re you, and you’re not trying to like impress somebody that doesn’t matter anymore because you’re just trying to impress yourself, which takes nothing, because you’re gonna keep going anyway. So, I feel like that’s really important to me personally. It’s like, it’s more of like able to express myself, that I feel like, a whole load of like stress that leaves off me, like it’s basically talking to a therapist without having to actually pay the money to go to a therapist. So I feel like that’s really convenient.

Details have now emerged onto the Tesco.net website of the new ADSL broadband service that Tesco is about to launch. £19.97 (inc VAT) per month for a 0.5Mbps service, with free USB modem and free activation, and a 12 month contract.
The full details of the service are at www.tesco.net/help/broadband, which appears to form a FAQ for the service. A look through the terms and conditions for the service reveals no bandwidth quotas or limits. Point 17 of the Terms and Conditions looks interesting, though the service has a 12 month contract, Tesco are happy to transfer the service to another phone line for free even if still in the minimum contract period. The single condition is that a new 12 month contract is started.

“The goal of volunteering is to contribute through action, as well as to send a message to the residents of the Gaza border region that we are with them,” said Dr. Shoshana Nissim.
Wed, Oct 10: About 200 retirees in Lions Israel engaged in volunteer work in Be’eri Forest near the Gaza Border. The volunteers cleared away cuttings, with the goal of reducing fire against the background of arson from Gaza sweeping through the region in the past months.
Dozens of incendiary kites and balloons are being launched by terrorists across the border every day, towards the forests, nature reserves, and agricultural fields on the Israeli side. KKL-JNF’s fire fighters, along with additional forces, have been on constant alert for six months, and are called to put out dozens of fires in forests and open fields every day.
About 12 square kilometers of forests and grove have gone up in flames over the course of the last few months, in 1,053 fires in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip. This constitutes more than half the forested area in the region. The two forests that have suffered the most damage are Be’eri forest, with 452 fires and 3.6 square kilometers burned, and Kissufim forest, with 353 fires and 5.2 square kilometers burned.
He explained that KKL-JNF’s mission in rehabilitating the forests is to remove the hazards, let nature take its course, and intervene proportionately, when intervention is necessary.
The Lions is a volunteer organization, working to benefit the community and to increase understanding between people throughout the world. The Lions Clubs International includes approximately 1,350,000 members in 42,000 clubs operating in 206 countries. In Israel, there are close to 1,000 Lions volunteers in 32 clubs across the country.

This custom fire pit in Maple Grove, MN featured limestone cube retaining wall that also doubled as extra seating around the fire pit. The Borgert Cracovia pavers for the fire pit and matching wall stone used to make the wood burning fire pit. The landscape around the fire pit utilized some Black Hills Spruce to offer a nice screening from the neighbors when out enjoying a fire.

1. Go LOCAL! Make sure you pick a local contractor. You don’t want to pick someone out of state to have them flee with your money. Even if they complete the job you may have problems appear in the future so you will want a local contractor that can quickly come out to the job site.
2. Check their Louisiana license before giving any money. You can search on the Louisiana Board of Contractors to see if your potential contractor has an up to date license number.
3. Take a picture with your contractor on the job site. If your contractor isn’t willing to take a photo with you on the job with their contract then they should not be doing work for you.
4. Check the Better Business Bureau website for bad reviews. No business is perfect but what they do when something goes wrong is key. If they have had any reports with the BBB they will have been given a chance to make it write. Be sure to read details.
5. Only hire a contractor with INSURANCE! It is not worth the risk to hire someone or a company without them being insured. Ask for a copy of their insurance. Do not just believe what you hear.
Buildpro is a local Louisiana contractor and will be happy to give you a free estimate on any job. We are licensed and insured along with a A+ rating with the BBB.

SupportSentry was developed by two internet entrepreneurs over the past 7 years in an effort to handle all of their customer service requests in one central location. Operating more than 20 ecommerce websites, customer service resquests needed to be handled in a timely, professional manner yet without taking up the entire day.

Supermarkets and big box stores offer nearly 50,000 – or more – products for us to choose from to feed ourselves and our families. It turns out that is a big challenge to healthy eating. A nation-wide analysis of U.S. grocery purchases revealed that highly processed foods make up more than 60 percent of the calories in food we buy, and these items tend to have more fat, sugar and salt than less-processed foods.
If we don’t understand the high cost of bad food – to ourselves, our families, our communities, and our economy – we will see life expectancy shorten, chronic diseases increase, and healthcare costs continue to spiral. In Montana, the pressure of bad food and the poor access to good food is being felt across the state.
In the face of warming climate, more extreme storms and weather patterns, temperature extremes, and increased or decreased precipitation, we need to work to ensure our and our communities’ food security.
Selecting locally grown and minimally processed food items – good food – means more healthful and nutritious food on your plate. How do you know what is available to you? Every year nearly 50 small Montana food producers came together at the Montana Department of Agriculture Food Show, to present rich cheeses, breads and cereals, nutritious meats and grains, preserves, pickles, and snacks – and beverages ranging from milk and juices, tea and coffee, to craft beer and spirits – from across the state.
Your nutrition advisor: Look for these benefits from a sampling of products from Montana.
Fermented veggies1: naturally fermented pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain beneficial probiotics that promote a healthy digestive tract.
Buy from: Farmented Foods (Bozeman), Plate and Pantry (Bozeman).
Raw honey2: raw honey contains small amounts of enzymes, minerals, and vitamins; choose raw for the greatest benefits.
Buy from: Treasure State Honey (Fort Shaw).
Sheep’s milk cheese3: sheep’s milk contains less lactose as well as less alpha s1 casein protein, than cow’s milk and may be easier to digest if you have lactose intolerance. Sheep’s milk has twice the butterfat as cow’s milk, which means it takes less volume of milk to make the same amount of cheese.
Buy from: Sheep Mountain Creamery and Meat (Helena).
Safflower oil4: has an oleic-acid content normally between 80% and 83%, one of the highest of all cooking oils on the market, giving it stability for high-temperature cooking. The high oleic-acid content also contributes to lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol and maintaining good (HDL) cholesterol.
Buy from: The Oil Barn (Big Sandy).
Buy from: Bar 77 Montana Grassfed Beef (Bozeman), MM Beef Company (Billings), McCafferty Ranch Beef (Belt), Yellowstone Grassfed Beef (Bozeman).
Sourdough bread6: the fermentation process which is part of the making of sourdough bread may make it more digestible for people with non-celiac gluten intolerance.
Buy from: On the Rise Bread (Bozeman), Sunflower Bakery (Helena), Blue Truck Bakery (Great Falls), Stella Bakery (Bozeman).
Nearly 1/3 recommended intake of dietary fiber.
Full of a wide range of minerals like: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium.
Buy from: Timeless Seeds (Ulm), Marias River Farms (Chester).
Make your choices carefully; eat well and be well!

Since the days of Xia Dynasty, Israel has been one of the centers of global attention. Israel is one of the leading centers of technology, a focal point where the largest multinationals giants decided to place their research and development centers. Israel offers sophisticated legal and commercial incentives for foreign enterprises. The success stories of IBM, Intel, HP, Cisco, and many other frontiers in global technology that established research and development centers in Israel are the strongest evidence of the economic potential that Israeli technology can offer to foreign investors.
Israel is an innovation powerhouse and the birthplace of many major technological breakthroughs. Lacking substantial natural resources, Israel dedicated its focus in its main natural resource—its unique and innovative entrepreneurial society. Today Israel leads the world in the highest rate, per capita, of research and development investment and offers one of the most highly-educated work-forces in the world.
The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (“OECD”) recently invited Israel to join the prestigious organization. A recent OECD report stated that Israel accounted for the third highest number of scientific articles per million population and has an impressive patenting performance in science and technology, further emphasizing Israel’s strength in high technology sectors, notably biotechnology. According to the 2008 Global Competitive Report of the World Economic Forum, the quality of Israel’s own scientific research institutions was ranked third in the world.
Senior executives of foreign invested companies doing business in Israel expressed their professional input. Gary Shainberg, British Telecom’s vice president for technology and innovation, advised during the midst of the world financial crisis financial that “there are more new innovative ideas, as opposed to recycled ideas – or old ideas repacked in a new box – coming out of Israel than there are out in [Silicon] Valley now. And it doesn’t slow down during the global down-turn.” Paul Smith, senior vice president of Philips Medical explained that “in two days in Israel, I saw more opportunities than in a year in the rest of the world”. Boston’s Battery Ventures investor, Scott Tobin predicted that the “next big idea will come from Israel”. Notwithstanding Israel’s small population, five Israelis have been named Noble Laureates in the last seven years in the fields of Chemistry and Economics.
This year China and Israel celebrated 18 years commemorating the establishment of its diplomatic relationship. China is Israel’s second largest importer and highly regards the importance of purchasing Israeli innovative technology. A review of the Chinese strategic five-year plan and list of encouraged industries reveals that Israel offers the exact technological solutions that China desires, whether it is in the field of bio-technology, clean tech, or medical devices. The Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, emphasized the potential of collaboration between Israel and China in the fields of information technology, agriculture, life sciences, and alternative energy, fields in which Israel has sophisticated technology and expertise.
To strengthen their international trade, China and Israel signed a great number of bilateral agreements for the promotion of bilateral trade, tourism, aviation, and shipment. Moreover, Israeli and Chinese investors enjoy the benefits of the treaty for the prevention of double taxation, bilateral research and development grants, and loan programs as will be further described below.
In 2008, Israel and China signed an agreement designating Israel as an approved country for Chinese tourist groups, which substantially enhanced the exposure of Chinese businessmen to Israeli advanced technologies. The recent enhancement of the relationship under the leadership of President Hu Jintao gained immediate results. According to published news reports, major Chinese companies are already doing business in Israel or are in the midst of advanced negotiations with the Israeli companies. China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (“CCECC”) is digging the Carmel tunnel in the city of Haifa of northern Israel and will be responsible for the civil engineering of the central line of the Tel-Aviv light rail project.
Although the Jewish people have a long lasting history of 4,000 years, the State of Israel is relatively a young state founded in 1948. Israel is a western style democracy, located in the Middle East and altogether is a bit larger than Beijing Municipality. Israel’s population is approximately 7.5 million people.
Notwithstanding Israel’s size, Israel has more than 3,000 high-tech companies and start-ups, and offers the highest concentration of hi-tech companies in the world—apart from the Silicon Valley in the United States. The Israeli legal system is a hybrid of the western Angelo-American Common Law and European Civil Law systems. The Israeli courts enjoy absolute judicial independence, and are separated from the executive and legislative branches.
The procedure for starting a business in Israel is straightforward and consists of the following major steps: registration of a company, registration with the tax authorities, and registration with the National Insurance Institute. Investors are typically assisted by an attorney for the company registration portion of the procedure, and by a certified public accountant for tax related filings. The procedure for registering the company can be completed within two to three business days with a low governmental fee of around $600. Israeli law does not require payment of a minimum registered capital, or submission of a feasibility study report, which reduces the cost of establishing an Israeli company.
Although, a limited liability company is the most common type of business entity in Israel, Israel offers to foreign investors a wide range of legal models, including joint ventures and partnerships (both general partnership and limited liability partnerships). A foreign investor may also establish a local Israeli branch of its parent company, in the form of a subsidiary or representative office.
Israeli individuals can invest, without restriction, in foreign markets. Foreign investors can open Israeli currency accounts that allow them to invest freely in Israeli companies and securities. These accounts are fully convertible into foreign exchange.
Israel established its economic success on technological innovation and continuously attracts the leading global venture capital firms. Israel is ranked second in the world for venture capital funds right behind the US. A survey of major US venture capital association found that Israel is one of the leading destinations for US venture capital funds alongside China, India and Canada. Notwithstanding Israel’s small population (7.5 million), in the last 15 years the Israeli venture capital industry raised more than $10.6 billion that were invested in over 1,000 Israeli start-up companies.
Many of those start ups have proceeded to successful IPOs. Currently, there are over 80 venture capital firms in Israel. Since 1993, the average size of the leading Israeli venture capital firm jumped from $20 million in 1993 to more than $250 million today. Mr. Yaacov Yisraeli, former President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Israel and the co-founder of one of Israel’s largest law firms – Shibolet & Co. – reports about the growing trend of Chinese investment in Israel in clean tech, alternative energy and other innovative technologies. Mr. Yisraeli further explains that a global view of the countries listed at NASDAQ provides persuasive proof of Israel’s innovation power. Presently 59 Israeli companies are traded on NASDAQ.
Israel strongly encourages foreign direct investment and provides various grants, tax incentives, including accelerated depreciation of up to ten years for foreign investors investing in industry, tourism and real estate. The eligibility and scope of tax incentives and grants may vary according to the location of the investment and percentage of foreign ownership (the higher the foreign ownership the higher the benefits). Israel’s investment map is divided into three geographic National Priorities Areas. Due to Israel’s small geographic size, the areas that receive the preferential treatment can be less than an hour away from Israel’s international airport. For example, in December 2005, Intel—the world largest chip maker—announced its plans to invest $3.5 billion to build a new plant, adjacent to its existing Israeli plants which makes the Pentium 4 chips. This industrial park of Kiryat Gat is located less than an hour’s drive from Israel’s international airport and 40 minutes drive from Tel-Aviv, Israel’s major metropolis.
According to the Israeli law for Encouragement of Capital Investment, Israel offers several grant programs to foreign investors investing in designated areas. The grant includes up to 24 percent of the original cost of land development, investments in building, machinery and equipment which include installation and related expense. In certain cases, the grant may reach up to 32 percent of the investment if the investor invests in the southern part of Israel. To qualify for the grant, the project must meet certain criteria such as: international competitiveness, minimum designated investment, high added value, and registration of the company in Israel.
Foreign investors may choose to receive the governmental grant described above plus special tax benefits, or to waive the right for the grant and to receive higher long-term tax incentives. The tax incentives are determined according to the percentage of foreign ownership of the enterprise (the higher the stake of the foreign investor, the higher the incentive.) For example, a foreign enterprise investing in Jerusalem, which is designated as a Priority A destination for high tech companies, may be eligible for a ten-year complete tax exemption as illustrated in the table below. Foreign investors may apply for pre-ruling from the tax authorities to ascertain the scope of the tax benefits offered.
Ten years complete tax exemption. Six years complete tax exemption and four years of tax benefits. Two years of complete tax exemption and eight years of tax benefits.
To promote international trade, Israel executed treaties for avoidance of double taxation with various countries, which enables offsetting tax paid in one of two countries against the tax payable in the other. Another important factor is the grant of an exemption or a tax at a reduced rate on certain receipts such as interest, royalties, dividends, capital gains and others that are connected with a transaction carried out between parties associated with the treaty. According to the Israel-China Treaty for Avoidance of Double Taxation, enterprises located in the two respective countries enjoy a reduced tax on dividends (ten percent), interest (seven to ten percent), and royalties (ten percent), which is more than half of the applicable Israeli tax rate for non-treaty countries.
China and Israel signed a cooperation agreement in the field of Research and Development and Industrial Development, which offers support to Chinese and Israeli investors from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the Israeli Chief Scientist Office. Innovative Research and development projects with substantial potential for market success may get financial support of up to 50 percent of the approved R&D expenditures. Eligible projects will be those based on alliances or cooperation between at least one industrial partner from Israel and at least one industrial partner from China, by which technological knowledge is developed jointly to the mutual benefit of businesses in China and Israel.
Israel and China also executed another bilateral framework agreement which provides financial support for industrial research and development ventures between Israeli companies and Chinese companies located in Jiangsu Province. According to the Israeli Trade Mission to China in Beijing, a second call for proposals to be submitted by Chinese and Israel projects was submitted to the public a few months ago. According to unofficial reports it is estimated that the new research and development programs will be executed also between Israel and other major provinces across China.
Since 1995 Israel and China have signed three financial protocols, which provide Israeli and Chinese companies with medium and long term financing to finance the export of Israeli products to China utilizing inter-bank credit lines. The Chinese and Israeli ministries of finance announced this May that Israel will offer a preferential loan of 400 million U.S. dollars to China. This protocol will fund health and sanitation projects, agricultural development, education and training, sewage treatment, energy efficiency projects, mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other high-tech projects.
Under the terms of the protocol, Israeli exporters will be able to take out long-term loan-insurance through Ashra, the Israel Export Insurance Corp., which insures export transactions by means of interbank credit lines. The conditions set forward in the protocol allow Israeli exporters to take out loan insurance at a low premium, which gives local exporters an advantage and makes them more competitive against exporters from other countries.
The technology incubator program is the backbone of the Israeli high tech industry. Established in 1991 by the Ministry of Industry, the incubator program offers qualified entrepreneurs an “incubator” which provides early-stage companies with management support systems, funding and resources to get companies ready to attract private investment. The projects that enter this program need to pass the scrutiny of the Israeli Chief Scientist Office to better secure the innovation worthiness of the project. A project receives funding of up to $500,000 while bio-technology projects may receive a total of $1.8 million. There are 23 incubator centers across Israel with ten projects in each incubator. Many of those projects have led to very successful collaborations between Israeli and foreign investors and are commonly reviewed by leading venture capital firms. 73 percent of the projects that graduated from the incubator program received private funding from multinational companies such as Microsoft and Boston Scientific, while many others were subsequently listed in NASDAQ and other leading stock exchanges.
As in any business, understanding your local partner is one of the keys to success. Israelis commonly adopt a direct, assertive, straightforward management and negotiation style. Many Israelis have a relaxed dress code, have a different perception of time, are used to working in a quick paced environment, and expect negotiations to be quick. Israelis commonly “go straight to business” and are not accustomed with the North-American style of small talk or with the “building friendship phase” common in Asia. A typical Israeli may request to conclude all negotiations in a short time frame which is not necessarily a sign of weakness of his bargaining power in the specific transaction, but just a different approach of doing business.
Most Israeli professionals can effectively communicate in English. A common pitfall in cross-border business with Israelis is cultural miscommunication. Israelis are very direct and verbal about issues that they face. It would not be uncommon for a junior employee to question the action of his senior managers. Foreigners often misinterpret such direct comments as insulting, arrogant and pushy. Generally, Israelis are very warm and friendly people, and when one is invited for dinner, the invitation is not done as a matter of politeness, but rather is a sincere approach to building friendships.
In 1985, the American President Ronald Reagan signed the U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement (“FTA”), the first FTA into which the United States entered45. The fact that Israel is the first country which the US decided to execute a FTA illustrates the economic value and opportunities vested in Israel for foreign investors. Likewise, the Israel-China axis of trade offers substantial opportunities for creating new alliances by combining China’s massive market and Israeli innovation power. A review of the Israel-China’s commercial relationship shows a real turnaround in the strategic ties. Nowadays, more Chinese companies start to realize the economic potential of Israel- Chinese investment and technology exchange. In recent years, local Israeli Chambers of Commerce were established in Shanghai and Beijing which further illustrates the growing business opportunities between Israel and China.

Last night a group of folks from the Proximity office went out to 19th Street (Chinatown) for dinner. It was the first time I’ve been able to meet up with the local Burmese employees outside the office. We had a bunch of laughs as I stumbled through my Burmese sentences.
The guy closer to the camera in the striped shirt (Valentino) is on the Energy team.
From left to right: Zaw Zaw Lin (Energy team), Kyaws Aya (IT), and Bob (Logistics).
After dinner we went to Inya Lake to hang out. This was very cool for me. If you remember in one of my first posts, I walked along this river seeing the locals congregate and chat by the water.
Just got briefly caught up on your posts, Steve! Your travels look amazing and it looks as if you’ve integrated well. Also, its great that the city looks like it has some modern amenities (esp Colgate toothpaste haha). Keeping you in our prayers and thoughts from Beantown!

Randy Travis is in good spirits and “he is healing every day,” in the words of Randy’s wife, Mary Davis Travis. Mary and Randy met with selected members of the media, including Nash Country Weekly, following the announcement that Randy would become one of the new inductees to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
As most fans know, Randy suffered a stroke in July of 2013 and has been unable to perform full-time since that event. He has made occasional personal appearances as he continues to undergo therapy. He has difficulty forming words but seems to understand what is being said to him, generally smiling and raising up in his chair whenever a compliment is offered. Mary spoke for Randy and answered questions from the media members.
We at Nash Country Weekly send our best wishes to Randy and Mary for continued success in his recovery.

On February 11, in the morning, Israeli soldiers and police arrested one man on the bypass road (317) near the village of Tuwani in the South Hebron Hills, and then raided the nearby village of Jawwaya. The man who was arrested had obvious signs of violence, including blood and a scratch on his face, and was probably injured during the arrest. While this man was arrested on the road, Israeli army and police raided Jawayya, where they damaged a tent used by villagers for the storage of livestock food. The soldiers slashed the walls of the tent, probably with a knife.
Around 7:30 am, a family from Jawayya called international volunteers and told them that there were soldiers in Jawayya village. As the volunteers were walking to Jawwaya on the bypass road (317) they saw a police vehicle next to two other cars, which had damaged wheels and flat tires. When the volunteers arrived at the vehicles they saw one man on the ground near one of the vehicles at the side of the road. He was blindfolded and handcuffed with his hands behind his back, and he appeared to have been beaten on the face and mouth. The soldiers loaded the man into one of the vehicles with damaged tires and the soldiers then drove all of the vehicles away.
At around 8:20 am, two international volunteers arrived in the village of Jawwaya, where Israeli soldiers and police were searching houses and tents, probably looking for another man. One of the soldiers attacked one of the volunteers, and then attempted to steal a camera from another. According to Palestinian witnesses, soldiers and police slashed large holes in a tent used as a shelter for the food for the animals and they fired shots into the sky in order to intimidate the inhabitants of the village. At about 8:45 am the soldiers and police left Jawwaya.
On February 6, in the morning, Israeli soldiers arrested two Palestinian shepherds, one of them aged sixteen. The soldiers tried to arrest another Palestinian shepherd but villagers prevented the arrest by popular nonviolent action.
At about 10:40 a.m. four Palestinian shepherds were grazing their flocks on Khelly valley, in the South Hebron Hills area village of At-Tuwani, when the security chief of the Ma’on settlement arrived and called the Israeli army to prevent the shepherds from using land that is the object of settlement expansion. At 10:55 a.m. an Israeli Army jeep arrived in Khelly area and the soldiers started to run after the shepherds. The shepherds, who are all young boys, were scared and began to run away. The soldiers caught one Palestinian shepherd and immobilized him on the ground. Meanwhile Palestinians from At-Tuwani reached the soldiers and, by a nonviolent popular action, freed the shepherds. The soldiers then drove after three of the shepherds as they moved their sheep back to their village. One shepherd was able to run away while the others two were prevented from leaving by the soldiers. At around 11:30 a.m. the soldiers put them inside the army jeep and drove away. At about 8 p.m. the Palestinians were released.
Since the beginning of this year this is the fifth time that Palestinian shepherds have been harassed in the Khelly area. The Israeli administration declared Khelly valley a “closed military area” in September 2013, and it is the site of frequent threats and violence by Israeli settlers and Israeli armed forces. This valley is Palestinian property where the Palestinians continue to resist with their daily work, despite of all the restrictions.
La mattina del 6 febbraio, soldati israeliani hanno arrestato due pastori palestinesi, di cui uno di sedici anni. I soldati hanno provato ad arrestare un altro pastore palestinese, ma gli abitanti del villaggio ne hanno impedito l’arresto con un’azione popolare nonviolenta.
Verso le 10:40, mentre quattro pastori palestinesi stavano pascolando le loro greggi presso la valle di Khelly, nel villaggio di At Tuwani, il capo della sicurezza dell’insediamento di Ma’on, arrivato sul posto, ha chiamato l’esercito israeliano allo scopo di impedire ai pastori di utilizzare una terra che è oggetto di espansione dell’insediamento. Alle 10:55 una jeep dell’esercito israeliano è arrivata in Khelly e i soldati hanno iniziato a rincorrere i pastori. I pastori, tutti ragazzi giovani, spaventati, hanno cominciato a fuggire. I soldati ne hanno catturato uno e lo hanno immobilizzato a terra. Nel frattempo alcuni palestinesi di At-Tuwani hanno raggiunto i soldati e con un’azione popolare nonviolenta hanno liberato il pastore. I soldati hanno poi rincorso con la jeep gli altri tre pastori, mentre questi già guidavano le pecore verso il loro villaggio. Un pastore è riuscito a scappare, mentre agli altri due è stato impedito di andarsene dai soldati. Verso le 11:30 i soldati li hanno caricati dentro la jeep dell’esercito e si sono allontanati. Verso le 20:00 sono stati rilasciati.
Dall’inizio di quest’anno, questa è la quinta volta che i pastori palestinesi sono stati attaccati in Khelly. L’amministrazione israeliana ha dichiarato la valle di Khelly una “zona militare chiusa” nel settembre del 2013 ed è il luogo di frequenti minacce e violenze da parte dei coloni israeliani e delle forze armate israeliane. Questa valle, di proprietà palestinese, è uno dei luoghi in cui i palestinesi continuano a resistere con il loro lavoro quotidiano, a dispetto di tutte le restrizioni.

International Women’s Day (IWD) at Citi is being celebrated all week. For us, it is a time to reflect on how we can work better together as an organization that spans 98 countries with more than 200,000 employees. It is also an opportunity to recognize the importance of being inclusive and the progress we are making as a team with one goal: to be the best for our clients. At the end of the day, it isn’t just the breadth of our geographic presence that benefits our clients, but our ability to demonstrate diversity in thought and action, resulting in innovation and excellence to support their goals and aspirations. This is our unique value proposition.
The importance of gender equality cannot be overstated. However it is important to understand that diversity must also encompass other aspects such as culture, generation, race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression. At Citi, we strive to treat all employees fairly and with respect, and hold them accountable for maintaining our standards of excellence.
Diverse organisations can also play a role in the development of future talent. For example, we just concluded our 8th annual Citi Woman Leadership Awards program, which recognizes future women leaders at top technical and business schools. Over the years, we have received more than 6,000 applications and awarded around 50 candidates tuition fee scholarships at their respective institutions, as well as pre-placement interview opportunities with us. We also held our Citi Campus Innovation Challenge. This competition, which runs across several educational institutions, invites students to innovate and present solutions in banking and financial services. We have been delighted to receive hundreds of exciting ideas over the last four years.
Unfortunately, India ranks 108 out of 144 in the Global Gender Gap Index and just 28.5% of women participate in the labor workforce1. Can you imagine the possibilities for our country were this number to increase by a few percentage points every year?
IWD serves as a time to celebrate and thank all the women in our lives. It is also a day to think about the positive accomplishments made possible as a result of an accepting environment in today’s world. Please join me in our celebration of IWD 2018’s theme: #PressforProgress.
In case you missed it, in India we announced the recruitment of 500 young, highly talented engineers and science graduates for multiple streams, including the work that we do in data analytics and science, artificial intelligence, hi-tech software development and several emerging fields, all very pertinent to banking. For us at Citi India, talent is integral to our core mission; to contribute to India’s economic and social progress and to ‘Make in India’ for Citi and our clients around the world.
Success in today’s financial services industry is predicated on several components. Capital, technology and talent, all of which are well known and understood. However in today’s disruptive universe, arguably the most important ingredient is the creation of a culture that is dynamic, progressive and, above all, client centric. Building a forward compatible culture is critical to our survival and our success. A culture that supports and empowers our work force in their adoption of technology, encourages a disruptive mindset and incentivizes speedy decision making, all of which can result in our being the best for our clients and consequently for all our stakeholders.
The creation of a pipeline of young individuals who can work with clients and businesses to harness the potential of newer technologies and platforms, that can foresee changes, and think like consumers, is undoubtedly therefore a key ingredient for us. I am very excited about this group of 500 young people who will join the Citi family and look forward to welcoming them into our fold. I have no doubt that they will help drive our mission forward, and will become future leaders at Citi in the years to come.
For some time now, we have had a strong view that India is in the cross-hairs of global capital flows. There are a variety of reasons for that as has been eloquently and passionately articulated by our Prime Minister in Davos. This is manifested in significant increases in FDI to India at a time when world FDI is shrinking and this is evidenced by massive FPI flows from multiple sources.
With an unrivalled network and footprint of 98 countries and an over 115 year presence in India, Citi is uniquely positioned to act as a bridge between India and the rest of the world and to work closely with global multinationals and institutions alike. At the same time, we deploy our global network for large and mid-sized businesses, households and institutions. It is a two-way ambassadorial responsibility that we are privileged to have, which gives rise to a very exciting opportunity.
I recently spoke with The Times of India about the factors leading to our growth in India, the business prospects that were presenting themselves and how talent was supporting global innovation. When you put together low-credit penetration, the presence of Aadhaar, digitisation as an enabler and overlay all those with GST, there is an extraordinary opportunity. To read more about this and other related topics in The Times of India, please click here.
A little over a year ago, the Government of India caught our nation by surprise by its announcement on demonetisation. In the ensuing period, a multiplicity of views and opinions have been expressed. In this blog, I will attempt to summarise what we think the impact of demonetisation has been on a subject that is clearly integral to India’s future. The digitisation of money and more broadly, that of our economy.
As is evident by these extraordinary and unprecedented increases in the use of cashless modes of payment, individuals and households have unequivocally embraced various forms of convenient paperless options since demonetisation. In the past, I have often written about the benefit of digital for all participants in our economy. I do hope that you too have adopted digitisation as a way of life and experienced its clear benefits.
At Citi, as we continue to enhance and evolve our own digital capabilities and propositions, we would be delighted to hear about your own cashless journey over the last one year.
My very best wishes to all of you and your families for Diwali and the New Year.
Diwali is the festival of lights, the victory of good over evil. Diwali is also about togetherness, love and giving. Equally important, the festival is a wonderful opportunity for us to find ways to be generous and help those who are less fortunate than we are.
As in previous years, Citi has designed a special program to support an important cause. This program is directly linked to your Citibank credit card and will be triggered by the card’s usage. Your transactions will result in us making a contribution to St. Jude India Childcare Centres that supports children battling cancer. Please click here for more details of #GivingAtCitiThisDiwali. And if you don’t have a Citibank Credit Card, please do click here to get one.
St. Jude India is an extraordinary institution that provides a fostering and positive environment for these children and their families, who travel from across the country to Mumbai and other urban centers for cancer treatment. It provides housing, nutrition, transportation, counselling, music, art, and drama therapy sessions that enable the children, and their families, to have a home away from home, as the children undergo their treatment. This remarkable organization has provided cancer care to almost 12,000 children over the last few years.
As you celebrate Diwali, please partner with us by using the best credit cards in the industry. In doing so, your festive spends will simultaneously support a very noble cause.
In India, we at Citi are very honored to have a family of 15,600 employees. Pertinently, this family has an average age of 32 years, representing, in many ways, the country’s young, energised and vibrant demography. Recently, I was delighted to welcome 310 fresh graduates to the Citi India family. This class of 2017, comprising of 235 undergraduates and 75 graduate students with varying degrees in a number of fields including Engineering, Management, Economics, Commerce and Statistics, is the latest batch of young students to join us. We are very proud of our ability to attract such bright talent from India’s most accomplished academic institutions and hope these young recruits feel equally proud to join our company.
For us at Citi, talent is our most important asset. We pay a lot of attention to not just recruiting the best talent, but to investing in them. We create opportunities for them to learn and grow, to get exposure, experience and expertise and to forge careers for themselves in India, or across the world. In doing so, we hope to create future leaders.
The financial services industry in India is arguably amongst the most attractive opportunities in the world today. The digital revolution that we are currently witnessing will only catalyse this opportunity further. No financial institution can participate meaningfully without the right talent at the helm. Not only are we very grateful to all our employees for all that they do for Citi every single day, but we are now even stronger with the addition of 310 new members into our fold.
Over the last two years, I have often written about the extraordinary digital revolution that India is currently witnessing and the multiplicity of opportunities that this presents to every one of us in our daily lives. “Pay with points”, whilst using a Citibank Credit Card, is yet another innovative and pioneering first that I am very pleased to share with you. This mode of payment ticks all the right boxes in today’s digital world. It is simple, speedy and secure. At the same time, it allows you to efficiently and conveniently utilize your hard-earned reward points at a time and manner of your choosing.
Pay with points is now live on the following Citibank Credit Cards - Rewards, IndianOil, PremierMiles and Prestige - with 11 leading merchants encompassing a spectrum of your purchase requirements. These merchants are Indian Oil, Indigo, makemytrip, Yatra, Goibibo, Westside, Shoppers Stop, bookmyshow, Vodafone and Amazon Gift Cards. As you can see this covers a significant component of your households needs. Further, Pay with points represents a quantum leap forward from the days when card holders were forced to utilize reward points only on catalogues with limited products and long delivery periods. Now, you have the opportunity to continue to use your card for your daily requirements and then pay with points both at a physical point of purchase or online. Of course, this does not mean that other options to redeem reward points cease to exist. There will continue to be multiple other redemption options such as cashbacks, physical gift vouchers and air miles.
As I have said many times before, the new digital world that we are in is one with infinite possibilities. If leveraged intelligently, it will continue to bring increasing value to our lives and transform our lifestyles. Pay with points is just one more small and simple, but powerful step in that direction. You can learn more about Pay with points by clicking here, but if you don’t have a Citibank card yet, please click here to get one now.
On July 12, I wrote about Citi India’s efforts in the corporate social responsibility arena and how honored we are to partner with such extraordinary institutions. Today, I am writing about the efforts of my colleagues to make a meaningful difference to the communities in which we live and work in as responsible citizens.
During 2016-17, Citi India invested Rs. 551 million with our 39 partners, resulting in a direct impact on 1.47 million individual lives. These efforts were led by 34 Citibankers who, as our ‘Citi Champions’, worked closely together with our partners to anchor the work that we do together.
In addition, via a bespoke initiative, we invited our employees to participate voluntarily in a specially designed Employee Payroll Contribution Program, which gives them the opportunity to make a deduction from their respective monthly payrolls and contribute to any of the following six partner NGO institutions: ADAPT - Able Disabled All People Together, SOS Children’s Villages of India, HelpAge India, Make A Wish Foundation of India, St. Jude India ChildCare Centres and The Akshaya Patra Foundation. Importantly, each contribution made by an employee, is matched by a commitment from Citi to contribute an equivalent amount.
I am extremely proud to share with you that 1,425 Citibankers have now signed up to participate in this program, contributing an amount of Rs. 1.1 million monthly. Combined with Citibank's matching contribution, we expect to make a total donation of approximately Rs. 24.0 million in 2017–18 to these six wonderful institutions. I am also confident that these amounts will only increase over time, with more of our colleagues joining to experience the joy of giving.
It has been heartwarming for me to witness how the concept of contributing to our communities has spread across our organization. The desire to participate and contribute has become almost infectious. I am very proud of all my colleagues and would like to thank each one of them for championing Citi’s mission of enabling progress and carrying this baton forward.
Citi's mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress. Inspired by our mission, we are deeply committed to the communities in which we live and work in through our Citizenship efforts.
In India specifically, for over 115 years, we have been privileged to be a part of India’s growth and that of our clients’. As our over 2-trillion-dollar economy with a population of 1.3 billion takes its next steps to become one of the most relevant markets on the global stage, we believe that it is critical for all Indians to have the opportunity to participate in this growth. With this in mind, Citi continues to invest in areas that are extremely important to support the development of a more inclusive and holistic society.
Through our Citizenship activities for the financial year ended March 31, 2017, we continued to focus in areas that are important in India. These include youth skilling and employability, education and financial inclusion, as well as powering small and micro enterprise owners. In addition, we have also made contributions to preserve and further India’s rich cultural legacy, improve the quality of lives through healthcare, enable the specially abled, promote civic awareness and advance environmental sustainability. Overall, in 2016-17, we have invested a total of INR 551 million, directly impacting 1.47 million individuals. This was possible as we deepened our relationships with our existing partners and brought new ones into our family. I would like to thank these partners for all that they do and look forward to our work together going forward.
I invite you all to read our 2016-17 Corporate Citizenship Report, ‘Citizens of Progress', which describes our contributions and our initiatives towards supporting communities across India. As always, I welcome your feedback.
The world today is faced with an uncertain and unpredictable future from a geopolitical perspective. Relationships between nations that existed in the past are not necessarily a precursor to the future. This extends to political alliances as well as to economic blocs and agreements. In this context, the partnership between our country and the US assumes great importance. The significance therefore of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the US cannot be overstated.
In my own view, the partnership between the two countries will be a strategically important and deeply enduring one that will become amongst the most relevant relationships of the 21st century. This will be built on, and revolve around, a multiplicity of factors. The two most vibrant democracies in the world, a shared sense of values and beliefs, an important mutual strategic defence objective in the Asia Pacific region, people-to-people ties and burgeoning trade and capital flows.
Let us take a look at some specific numbers. Three million NRIs who live in the US have deep philosophical, emotional and economic ties with India. Over 500 US companies employ more than 1 million people in India1 and conversely, more than 100 Indian companies have created close to 100,000 jobs in the US2. Since 2000, US direct investments in India have amounted to close to US$250 billion, while Indian investments in the US totalled over US$50 billion3. During this period, two-way trade has grown five times to US$115 billion4 and the two countries have set an ambitious, but achievable target of $500 billion. Finally, extraordinary opportunities exist for both countries in the fields of defence, energy, aerospace, infrastructure, education, science, healthcare and technology.
At Citi, with a presence in 98 countries, backed by a network and capabilities to match, we see ourselves acting as a bridge between not just India and the US, but between India and the rest of the world, facilitating economic progress for businesses and households alike. The India – US partnership exemplifies exactly the kind of opportunity for us to play a meaningful role in. Citi, as a truly global multinational financial institution, is determined to leverage our footprint to the benefit of our clients and to contribute to expanding relationships such as the one that exists between India and the US.
There is an extraordinary transformation taking place in the financial services industry in India. Individuals, households and businesses across our country are all moving larger and larger amounts of money electronically, every single day. In doing so, they are also reaping the associated benefits. In fact, our Honorable Prime Minister envisions that as many as 25 billion digital transactions will take place this fiscal year.
All of this has become possible because our Government, the regulators, utilities, banks, NBFC's, microfinance companies and fintech players are all working together to create, arguably, the most efficient digital payments ecosystem in the world. This will inevitably further accelerate India's fast-growing economy. Along the way, massive amounts of extremely valuable data will be transmitted and collected, increasing the risk of cyber attacks.
Cyber security is a clear and present concern for all of us. Consequently, building a powerful and efficient ecosystem is simply not enough. Ensuring its resilience will be vital to the success and the sustainability of a vibrant payment infrastructure in the long term.
As a digital bank catering to both individuals and institutions globally, we strongly believe that we are custodians not only of our clients' money, but also of the information and data that we become repositories of. A secure banking platform is hence of critical importance to us. This includes continuous evaluation of our preparedness and safety, regular testing, round-the-clock monitoring, enforcing preventive controls, investing in the right technology and cross-sharing information with all our industry partners and our regulators.
At the same time, cyber security is a collective responsibility for every single one of us. I would urge all of you to keep yourself constantly abreast of the best practices for banking online, on the mobile and over the telephone. Always remind yourself not to share sensitive data, including passwords and pins, to unknown callers or persons and to protect your computers with licensed anti-virus software. Finally, place your faith only in credible, trustworthy counterparties for your money and data.
The success of India’s digitization revolution depends significantly upon the robustness of our infrastructure and systems. We are only as strong as our weakest link. Together, let us continue to participate in its growth and benefits, wisely.
Today, the economic and political environment we see in the world remains uncertain and volatile. On the one hand, the benefits of globalisation are being questioned, with a view that they have accrued only to a very small section of society. This is leading to the opposition of a more global world, and to proponents calling for more nationalism and patriotism. This could potentially have an impact on India’s trade and capital flows.
However, I believe India is less vulnerable to such risks than most emerging markets. First, we have a US$2 trillion economy growing at more than 7% per annum; very few other such markets exist. Second, we have political stability and a strong reform agenda, which does not exist in many parts of the world. A combination of these factors will continue to make India attractive to capital flows, as is evidenced by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Foreign Institutional Investors’ (FII) inflows witnessed over the last few years.
Multinational companies and FIIs represent strong examples India’s growing economic strength. They are attracted by India’s large consumption market, as they are to the opportunity of utilising India as a manufacturing or services base to serve other global markets. To read more about this and other related subjects in The Times of India, click here.
It is estimated that over 180 million people in India are active on social media. Facebook, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter, amongst others. Social media is defined as websites and other online means of communication that are used by large groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts. It is clear that this medium is the preferred communication channel for people who are digitally active. It is also the obvious choice to connect with others, grab the latest headlines, learn about new product releases, communicate actively with preferred providers of all goods and services and connect with favourite brands. Most importantly, such platforms provide individuals the opportunity to voice their views, opinions, likes and dislikes.
As an institution which serves over 200 million individuals and households around the world, we too have embraced this trend. As an organization which aspires to be incredibly digital, we will continue to leverage social media to serve our customers better. For example, we introduced ‘Snapshot’ for Citi Mobile users to view their account details, in Diwali last year we contributed towards meals for 11,000 children by matching spends of our credit card customers, ran a digital contest in our endeavor to incentivize the use of less cash and we spread the word across the community to attend the Citi – NCPA Aadi Anant Music Festival. In each of these, we were able to leverage social media platforms to exponentially multiply our reach and enhance the effectiveness of our outreach to all of you.
In India today, we are proud and delighted to have over 1 million followers on our Facebook page. With each successive campaign, we aim to grow our audience, to learn more about those who are interested in us and to learn more from those who engage with us. The amount of data that we receive every day is enormous. However, it is also very powerful and we pledge to use it effectively and for your benefit. For us at Citi, innovation and pioneering of new ideas have very often come from our customers. We view this as an extraordinary bank of intellectual capital that we will always tap into. The voices of our customers and our fans help us remain strong, agile and current.
India's transformation into a less cash society has quite clearly and unequivocally started taking place. It is a revolution that is unstoppable. Each one of us must participate in this movement, or risk being left behind and disadvantaged. In my last blog, I talked about the benefits of going cash free through credit cards. On this occasion, I would like to share with you the possibilities that exist around digital payments in every aspect of our lives. I would also like to exalt all of you to start the process of beginning to go cashless. India’s digital payment ecosystem is well geared to meet all our needs.
We now have options to transfer funds from one bank account to another, to pay utilities and other providers of services, to book mutual funds or fixed deposits, to select insurance policies, to purchase food, medicines, and other essentials, to buy travel tickets or make luxury purchases, to load money into our digital payment wallets, and to carry out mobile-to-mobile transfers linked to bank accounts. All this can be done either via mobile phones or online, conveniently, quickly and in a secure manner. The list of possibilities is endless and encompasses almost all aspects of our daily lives.
To start evaluating how you are performing on this digital journey, please think about creating your very own digital index. Use this digital index to evaluate what percentage of your daily or monthly expenditure is being made in a cashless form and how this cashless component of your payments and expenses increases every month, improving your score. At the same time, please remember that it is incumbent on us to spread the word and also help others navigate our new payment ecosystem. I believe that we are a country of very quick learners and adopters and we can all contribute to this cause.
However, we must exercise caution and follow certain safety rules. Change your password regularly and do not share or write them down. Sign up for SMS alerts from your bank. Check your statements, emails and other communications regarding your transactions all the time. If you believe there has been any misuse, file a complaint as soon as possible. To learn more about security around digital banking, click here.
At Citi, we will soon be launching our own Go Cashless campaign. I look forward to your participation.
Never before in India's history, has there been such a concerted effort towards the digitization of money. Each one of us can, and must, play our part in this movement.
Making payments are a critical component of any household. Debit and credit cards can play a powerful, convenient, secure and economically rewarding role towards purchasing essentials and for other requirements, and can typically achieve multiple objectives. They are used as a payment channel, reduce the need for us to hold currency, allow us to obtain credit should we so require, and afford us the opportunity to earn a host of rewards whilst doing so.
Across the world, Citi has been a leading issuer of cards. In India, our various card products cater to many needs and offer possibly the most powerful reward programs in the industry, with loyalty benefits solving the demands of a typical household or a business enterprise. In essence, these cards are designed to make spending both a convenient and a lucrative experience. Please do take a look at our family of Citi Card products that exist.
However, as must always be the case, in spending and in earning exciting rewards for ourselves, we cannot ignore those who are less fortunate than we are. For example, during the Diwali Season, in an attempt to do just that, we designed a unique rewards program which benefits underprivileged students in conjunction with your spending. For every 1500 rupees that our credit card customers spent on dining, we committed to contributing towards a child’s meal per month to Akshaya Patra Foundation. Table reservation site EazyDiner, who is one of our key partners, also contributed to the cause based on bookings made on their website. I am happy to share that we will be supporting the provision of meals for an entire year to 11,000 children through this initiative.
In my next blog, I will write about issues related to security and safety in the usage of cards of all kinds.
Article 51A(f) of the Constitution of India states and I quote, "It shall be the duty of every citizen of India to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture."
From the beginning of civilization as we know it, our country has produced the very best of art and architecture. History has been witness to that, as have each one of us. We have marveled at the intrinsic beauty of this art and architecture, been in awe of its creators and artisans, reveled and taken pride in its Indian origin and are indebted to its sponsors and patrons.
As we contemplate the future, we must spare a moment to think of what history will say several years from now about our own contribution to this magnificent legacy. We must think about whether our future generations will also be able to feel the same way as we do about our extraordinary heritage.
The Citi-CSMVS ConservArte project, is a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) and Citi India partnership. Under the aegis of this project, 150 National treasures and iconic works spanning 5000 years of history, from 2500 BCE to contemporary times are being conserved and restored. The ConservArte project was inaugurated on September 2, 2016, with the exhibition ‘Conserving the Collection - The caring path of 5000 years of our art,’ to showcase the first 50 of these remarkable treasures, many of which have never been viewed before.
The ConservArte project, supported by Citi India, shows that there is indeed a role to play for corporate India. In partnership with world class institutions like CSMVS and working with committed individuals like Mr. Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Director-General, CSMVS, and Mr. Anupam Sah, Head of Art Conservation, Research, and Training CSMVS Museum Art Conservation Centre, and their incredibly talented conservation team, we are very pleased that we have been able to play a role in protecting and conserving our heritage.
I do hope that you will take time with your families to enjoy this wonderful exhibition of extraordinary works. The exhibition, which will be open until November 27, 2016, will not only give you a glimpse into our nation’s rich past, it will also demonstrate just how gratifying and important it is to fulfill one’s fundamental duty.
At Citi, talent is amongst our most important assets. Consequently, we are extremely focused on investing in the growth and progress of our employees. Our truly global footprint and incredibly diverse platform, offers extraordinary career opportunities and choices for our people. Making it possible for them to access these opportunities and achieve their aspirations is imperative for us. Providing them with knowledge, expertise and experience is an equally important objective.
Amongst our many initiatives is the annual Career Week. During Career Week, our employees get the opportunity to learn more about Citi’s businesses in India and globally, to get updated on developments in our industry and to network and engage with leaders at Citi.
The global banking industry is evolving rapidly. This is true too in India, albeit at an even faster pace. The drivers of change are plenty. Proliferation of mobile telephony and the internet, the creation of incredibly smart IOS or Android based mobile applications that reside on the cloud, over a billion people with unique identifications, etc. Meanwhile, our customers are demanding simple, secure and swift ways to access banking products and services. Finally, across the world there is an increasing realization of the need for the formal banking channels to be much more inclusive. All of this means bigger and more exciting opportunities for people who work in our industry. At the same time, it also means the importance and need to be more knowledgeable, well trained and better equipped.
This week at Career Week, Citi leaders will speak on varying themes such as FinTech, digital banking, analytics, robotics, the global economic backdrop, leadership, re-defining skills, amongst others. Our employees will also learn about the multitude of career opportunities that exist in Citi, both in India and globally. Unarguably, a very exciting time to be a young banker.
But possibly, the most important messages for young bankers and those aspiring to make their mark in our industry, are more basic. First, to be open to learning and to adapt to change. And second, to take charge of one's own career.
I invite you to share your thoughts on embracing your own career journeys.
I am delighted to enclose Citi India's 2015-2016 Citizenship Report, summarizing our efforts to contribute to the communities that we live and operate in, and in doing so, to our country. At Citi, we have always believed that sustainable growth for us is predicated on the progress of our community and markets. With this in mind, we have increased our investments and our efforts significantly in conjunction with the Citi Foundation.
Since 2014, we have broadened our portfolio with the introduction of the India Innovation Grant Program, to support sustainable and innovative delivery models focused on people empowerment. We added new programs and expanded existing ones within our art and culture portfolio to proliferate India's incredibly rich heritage. We made concerted efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and found innovative, environmentally friendly ways to work in our offices. Equally important, we formed new partnerships.
I am very pleased to share that we have been able to impact the lives of 580,000 women, youth and children through India Innovation Grant Program initiatives. In 2015 - 2016, Citi invested a total of INR 392 million towards our Citizenship initiatives. This collective work was only possible because of the world class work our partners do.
For more than a century, we have been privileged to have been present in India. Still, as India takes its well-deserved spot on the world stage, there is much for all of us to do. Initiatives such as the Government of India's Start Up India, Skilling India and Jan Dhan Yojana, to name a few, clearly have the potential to transform the socio-economic fabric of India. However, to be successful, these efforts must be long lasting and their impact generational.
With this in mind, we titled this year’s Citizenship Report 'Citizens of Progress' In the pages that follow, we present our programs and their impact on society. We also share comments from individuals who have directly experienced their influence. We look forward to your comments and would be delighted to receive your feedback.
Contributing and giving back to the communities which we are privileged to operate in, is an integral part of the Citi ethos. This complements the role that we play every day in enabling the economic progress of our clients and of our country.
India as we all know has an extraordinarily rich and varied cultural heritage. This includes amongst other things, art and architecture, music and dance. Over the last decade, it has been our aspiration to play a role in nurturing, preserving and promoting these art forms. And we have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to partner with selfless and world class institutions that excel in these fields.
Our journey began in 2007, when we became the first patron of the Symphony Orchestra of India. Our relationship with National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) has since only grown in strength. In 2010, we initiated the Citi-NCPA Guru Shishya program, through which multiple scholarships have been awarded to aspiring students and close to 50 shishyas trained by 12 renowned gurus. A year later we co-founded the Citi-NCPA Aadi Anant Festival of Indian Music, which has since been enjoyed by over 20,000 people in several cities across India. Additionally, about 500 students have participated in the Citi-NCPA Music for Schools program.
Working with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS), we launched two unique programs. ConservArte, in which 150 extraordinary art objects spanning over 4,000 years of history – from the relics of Ajanta and Harappa to works by India’s Modern Master V.S. Gaitonde - will be conserved and restored, and the Museum on Wheels program, which aims to provide an interactive educational experience to children in under privileged communities across Maharashtra, "on wheels". In just five months, 16,000 children and community members have learned of the Mohenjo-Daro civilization through this initiative, which will showcase new exhibits every six months.
In Bengaluru, we partnered with India Foundation for the Arts to re-imagine public spaces and bring to life the history of the region's culture through Project 560. As India’s cultural journey continues to evolve, we are extremely excited to be playing a small role. We hope that you too are able to join us in this journey. In fact, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please do feel free to let us know.
It is becoming increasingly evident, that expectations of our customers today are being shaped not just by their experiences with the banking industry, but by their interactions with innovative organizations across a multiplicity of sectors. Consequently, customers demand from their banks the same levels of speed, simplicity and hyper-personalization that they receive from other global and domestic customer centric companies. Further, social media helps accelerate this process by influencing the expectations of so many others who may not be aware of such possibilities.
This change in customer expectation makes it imperative for banks to innovate and re-invent their product and service delivery models and channels. It is here, that I believe, data analytics and technology can dramatically transform current practices, not only in terms of how products are designed, but also in terms of how they are delivered.
As an example, I would like to share with you our experience of the launch of the 'Citi Instant Personal Loan', a product that we introduced recently. With the help of advanced analytics, we identified a segment of our customers who could be offered a loan, tailored to their bespoke needs. Mobile and online were employed as the primary distribution and service delivery channels. The underwriting process was redesigned to make the entire experience simple and instantaneous. Customers, who opted for this product, via a few simple clicks, also received instant delivery, with the loan amount being credited into their bank account in a matter of minutes. This experience became so popular with our customers, that in just a few weeks, almost 20% of all loans were sourced through this mode. Given how well this service has been received by our customers, we will soon be extending this offering to the entire suite of consumer banking products.
As we progress on this path, please do feel free to let me know your own experiences and expectations in this area.
Every year, on March 8, the world celebrates International Women's Day. At Citi India, we too did just that. Last week, we celebrated International Women's Day by thanking and acknowledging all the women in our personal and professional lives for their contributions and the role that they play at home and at work, without which none of what we are able to achieve would ever be possible.
This year, in conjunction with International Women's Day, we also launched Citi India Diversity Week, in which we continued to promote diversity and multiplicity of thought across our organization. In a country such as India, which is rich in culture, heritage and ideology, we are privileged to experience the benefits of an inclusive and open society. The very fact that India is, for example, home to 122 major languages, more than 1500 dialects, a number of religions, and has over 90,000 publications, demonstrates diversity and freedom of not just thought, but of actions too.
Being a truly global bank, we too are significant beneficiaries of diversity. For over 200 years, strengthened by the multitude of people across countries with different backgrounds and cultures, we have been powered by new ideas and innovation, that helped us become pioneers in banking and contributors to the progress of our clients and society.
In this rapidly ever changing world, it is clear to us that continuing to promote diversity in our organization will be critical to our success and hence must be a strategic imperative. It is also becoming obvious that only truly diverse organizations will attract the best talent, which in turn will help them contribute meaningfully to customers, winning their minds and business.
Please join me in celebrating the spirit of womanhood and promoting the cause of diversity in our lives.
Over the last two years, amongst other things, I have written on two important subjects. The first being Citi’s efforts to contribute in the areas of financial education and inclusion with partnerships between Citi Foundation and NGOs through the India Innovation Grant Program (IIGP). The second is on our innovative efforts in banking. By leveraging young talent we have created best-in-class solutions for banking and the larger payments ecosystem.
Since its inception in 2014, IIGP has partnered with nine wonderful institutions that are expected to make a positive difference to approximately 800,000 lives through programs that focus on bringing meaningful financial behavioral changes. These programs are designed to inculcate the habit of saving and budgeting as well as encourage individuals to transact digitally. Innovation is at the heart of these inclusion initiatives, which are delivered through platforms such as mobile phones, tablets, smart classrooms and even buses. Moreover, several of these programs have been truly pioneering in their approach with the potential to transform society.
At Citi too, innovation is at the core of what we do. This entrepreneurial culture has led to the development of a number of industry firsts, primarily in the area of digitization. These solutions are simple and safe to use and have redefined the very concept of banking in India, and indeed globally.
So today, I am writing about an initiative which marries our community contributions and our commitment to the youth with innovation. I refer to third edition of IIGP launched recently. This year, IIGP aims to help expand skill-building, leadership and workplace programs for the youth through the use of technology and other innovative approaches. We believe bringing together innovation and the sheer determination of the youth will lead to a transformative India. Selected NGOs will receive grants to help them scale their model, and the guidance from a member of the Citi India management team, who will be their very own ‘Business Champion’, throughout the program.
IIGP, to Citi, is a business imperative in a country with so much potential. I do hope NGOs, who believe they have programs with innovative approaches to help economically empower the youth, take the time to read about the 2016 India Innovation Grant Program, supported by Citi Foundation, and consider us as their partners in progress.
The next few days will herald Diwali, the festival of lights, which spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness. For many across India, Diwali is also the time to indulge loved ones with special gifts, holidays or get-togethers. Sadly, for many others, this is not an option.
At Citi, as we started to think about how we would like to celebrate Diwali this year, we also wanted to find a way to bring a little light into the lives of those who are not as fortunate as we are. With this in mind, we decided to support the extraordinary work of two non-profits, St. Jude India ChildCare Centres and ADAPT, whose efforts touch the lives of economically disadvantaged children suffering from cancer and multiple disabilities respectively. St. Jude India ChildCare Centres provides free accommodation and holistic support to cancer-affected children who travel with their parents from rural and semi-urban areas to cities across India seeking cancer treatment. ADAPT was set up in 1972, as the Spastics Society of India, when very little was known about cerebral palsy.
This Diwali, we also wanted to give our customers the opportunity to participate with us in our efforts to support St. Jude India ChildCare Centres and ADAPT. With this objective in mind, we are launching an initiative through which Citi will commit to contribute a percentage of every rupee that our customers spend on their Citibank Credit Cards to these two noble causes. In effect, the more our customers spend, the more we will contribute to these organisations. For more details, please click here or access the unique twitter hashtag #WhatsNewThisDiwali.
I would like to take this opportunity to convey my very best wishes to all of you and your families a joyous and happy Diwali. I would also like to request all of you to participate in the joy of giving, which will help brighten the lives of those who are not as fortunate as we are.
At Citi, both innovation and talent have always been integral to the impact we are able to have on our clients, and consequently, to our success. Unsurprisingly, over the years, most of our innovation has come from our youngest minds.
Now in its second year, the Citi Campus Innovation Challenge is an initiative that I am personally very excited about. This initiative, targeted at students across India's top business schools, offers the opportunity for these students to submit to us their most exciting and innovative ideas, built around the specific theme of digital payments. This year, we received close to 150 submissions and have shortlisted 6 ideas across a range of themes including authentication by biometrics, cashless payments and financial inclusion.
These entries manifest an explosion of ingenuity and thought leadership amongst young India. These teams represent real entrepreneurial spirit and a penchant for innovation. As technology takes a firm hold of lifestyles and businesses alike, innovation is taking a new avatar through India's youth. As India becomes the home to the youngest population in the world, it is important that corporates and entrepreneurs alike help encourage this incredible spirit to help hone tomorrow’s leaders.
The selected students are mentored by us at Citi. They will also be given the opportunity to interview and work with us. It is extremely heartening to see such enthusiasm through this initiative and I look forward to meeting and engaging with these young finalists in Mumbai later this year to learn about what the brightest of minds believe in for tomorrow.
India has always been recognized as a country well-known for its entrepreneurs and their ability to be innovative to cater to the challenge of the ever changing and dynamic world that we live in. This spirit of enterprise has played a pivotal role in India's economic progress and continues to be a primary driver of future growth.
More recently, an exciting development has been the advent of the start up community and its contribution to new ideas and innovations across a multitude of sectors. The ability to make a meaningful contribution to society and to our economy by this young and dynamic diaspora, has also been recognized by our Honorable Prime Minister via his 'Stand up India, Start Up India' vision and pronouncement.
It is our strong belief that India's start up community can play an extraordinary role in shaping the future of banking technologies, both in India and globally. India’s large, organized technology base, backed by the spirit of free enterprise, today quite clearly has the potential to act as an important catalyst for the growth of the financial services industry.
To foster such innovation in financial technologies (‘Fintech’), Citi launched the Citi Mobile Challenge in the Asia Pacific Region last week. This global program is open to start ups, developers, tech companies and students to create real-world, open-ended solutions, capable of being run on Citi’s digital platform globally.
As we embark on this initiative, I am convinced that we will see some transformational solutions and proposals across banking, payments, e-commerce, etc., through this first-of-a-kind initiative introduced by a Bank. Registrations close on September 9, 2015 and I invite all of you to participate in this challenging, but exciting opportunity.
Slowly, but surely, India is making its way from being a nation of savers, to becoming a nation of spenders and borrowers. Economic liberalisation, the aspirations of our young and increasingly affluent population and the development of our financial markets, are each contributing to this evolution. Just as it has always been wise to save, it is equally prudent to borrow and utilise credit wisely and judiciously.
From loans on cards to personal loans and from car loans to education and home loans, there are a plethora of options available, as there are lenders. Until a decade ago, obtaining a loan had its own set of challenges; challenges related to the judgment and knowledge of bankers, that of onerous documentation and the time it took to get a loan. With the advent of consumer credit bureaus, like the Credit Information Bureau India Limited in 2004, lenders were able to rely on an independent and transparent credit infrastructure and borrowers were able to build reliable credit histories. This, in turn, encouraged both consumers and lenders alike.
As a borrower, it is however critical to understand the importance of one’s own credit history and credit standing. It is equally important to be aware that once this record is tarnished, it becomes very difficult to rebuild.
To begin with, borrowers must only incur indebtedness in amounts that can be realistically serviced and repaid from future cash flows. Discipline then becomes key in maintaining a good credit score, which in turn can help enhance your credit limit. Borrowers need to ensure the making of regular repayments and, if that is a problem, communicate proactively with the lender and understand how to ensure his or her credit score does not get affected or is built back appropriately. A good credit score in turn will help the borrower avail of more flexible and innovative credit options and products from a larger variety of lenders to meet their changing needs. Today, it is also fairly easy for borrowers to look up their credit scores online or through their bank. At Citibank, we offer an overview on credit bureaus on our site.
If you would like to assess your ability to borrow, or obtain our help in ascertaining your credit score, or increase your existing credit limit, please do feel free to contact us. However, please do always remember to borrow prudently and judiciously and to be a responsible borrower.
Thrift is a gift; a penny saved is a penny earned. Each of these are age old sayings that all of us have heard many times over, from those wiser than ourselves.
It is widely believed, that India is a country of savers. Savings rates in India have always been high, at times they have trended above 35%. However, in recent years it is true that savings rates are on the decline and our savings to GDP ratio has fallen to around 30%. Equally concerning, is the decline in our financial savings rate from 12% of GDP to around 7% currently.
One of the roles of a Bank in society is to inculcate and promote the philosophy of savings, to disseminate a better understanding of financial products that help achieve saving objectives, such as the power of compounding interest rates, and to offer a wide range of short and long term savings alternatives across the entire spectrum of risk.
At Citi, we work very hard at doing just that. From simple current and savings accounts, to long term fixed deposits, to Government, RBI, Public Sector and Corporate fixed income securities, to insurance products, to mutual funds of all types, to equities, to complex structured products, and more, we believe that we can work with all segments of society to meet your financial planning and savings needs.
I simply cannot but reiterate the importance of savings. Whether you choose to call it frugality, prudence, building a nest egg or saving for the proverbial rainy day, there can never be any doubt about the value and power of savings.
That was the fourth edition of the Citi NCPA Aadi Anant festival of Indian Music. Aadi Anant, which means - "from here to eternity" or "timeless"- was a music festival that we created in 2011, in partnership with the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA), which is one of India's finest cultural organizations for the arts, music and dance. Our aspiration at the time was to establish a property that would indeed be very much like the music we want to promote - timeless and eternal. Now, over four years later and with 17 performances watched by close to 16,000 people across 5 cities in India under our belt, we think we are on our way to doing just that.
Why do we do this and why is this so important to us?
Over the years, Citi India has had a deep rooted philosophy of nurturing Indian arts, music and culture. We believe that the preservation of India’s cultural heritage is integral to our progress and is one more way for us to give back to society and to the communities we work with. Further, in a country as diverse as ours, music cuts across generations, regions and communities.
To take this a step forward, we have tried to take another timeless tradition, that of the Guru-Shishya parampara forward. In partnership with the NCPA, Citi initiated the 'Music for Schools' program to teach music to Mumbai-based children with limited access to musical resources. The effort of the teachers and students resulted in the first-ever on-stage live music performance by 50 children in December. Their confidence and impeccable sense of rhythm and tone was both, impressive and inspirational.
As we begin this year with a new sense of optimism, I am confident that through these partnerships and programs, we are contributing in our own unique way to India's cultural legacy, and are playing a part in re-imagining and revitalizing our community.
Some weeks ago, we were privileged to have Mr. Arun Jaitley, India's Honorable Finance Minister at our infrastructure summit in New Delhi. Unsurprisingly, it was a standing room only event, with investors from around the world representing mutual funds, insurance companies, endowments, private equity funds and family offices.
The message from the Minister was striking, yet simple. Notwithstanding the challenges that India faces, the Government is committed to an agenda of reform and growth. The Minister summarized key decisions that had already been made by his Government including elimination of fuel price subsidies, allowing FDI in railway infrastructure, increasing of FDI limits in defence, changes in labor laws, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana scheme, etc. He then laid out a road map which he expected his Government to follow in terms of further reforms. In the days that have since ensued, some of these have already come to fruition. These include ordinances for land acquisition and for increased FDI in insurance, along with the introduction of bills for GST and coal mining.
Following the Narendra Modi Government coming to power in May 2014, there has been a tremendous sense of optimism that has been felt in India and across the world. The Government has in many ways, vindicated this mood. It has been extraordinarily active and has made significant progress on a number of fronts in a relatively short period of time. Innumerable challenges undoubtedly exist. However, as we start the new year, I continue to feel a strong sense of optimism and hope. And it would appear, that our stock markets agree.
My very best wishes to all of you and your families for 2015. I hope you share my sense of optimism. Now, let us all work together to convert this optimism into progress and a much better future for India.
It has been a year since I started writing these blogs and I have genuinely enjoyed doing so. Thank you for reading them and I look forward to connecting with you through 2015.
Tectonic shifts are taking place across India's digital landscape. These changes and trends are being driven by rapid urbanization, large investments in telecom and e-commerce infrastructure, deeper internet penetration, and the proliferation of smart phones and other mobile devices. While we have already witnessed significant changes in the banking industry, these put together, will have extraordinary implications for us going forward. For us in India, the notion of riding this digital wave is a source of great excitement.
Citi is determined not to miss this opportunity or the significant benefits that will accrue to our clients and to ourselves. In fact, this exciting, yet unchartered journey is already underway. Despite having just 42 branches in 30 locations in India, we acquire over 30 percent of clients online across assets and liabilities. Of our clients, more than 90 percent have their mobile numbers and 80 percent have their email IDs updated with the bank and consequently, more than 60 percent of our clients access their accounts digitally. Finally, 75% have opted for online statements, endorsing the mantra – go digital, go green.
As we go forward, it is our aspiration as a bank to be "omnipresent" for all our clients. This means that we, as a bank, must have an accessible digital channel in place for every conceivable need of our clients. Our clients should be able to engage with us digitally for transaction-based services, such as money transfers to credit card payments, from utilizing financial planning tools online to booking a personal loan or a mutual fund. Our first-to-market propositions such as SMS to call, click to call, harnessing social media through the power of crowd sourcing to identify ATM locations, instant card issuance, mobile payment solutions, salaried online accounts, and deep-discount online sales are all possible, thanks to technology and the evolving digital channels.
Similarly, we would like our branches to become places where clients can come and complete many of their banking transactions without human intervention. For example, our smart banking branches provide customers with the opportunity to experience the best of futuristic banking through an array of innovative features and services. However, our clients can always meet with our bankers and seek specialized guidance when it comes to areas such as risk management or advisory services.
If we are able to successfully evolve to such a model, and continue to adopt these digital channels and practices satisfactorily, the gains all around will be very significant. These would include improved customer satisfaction and better service levels for our clients, and higher growth and productivity for us as a bank.
The average age of our Citi India family is 32 years. As a consequence, I naturally spend a lot of my time with bright, talented people much younger than myself. In the recent past, I have had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with three groups of such promising young people. 76 members of the 2014 Citi India Management Associate Program, finalists of the ET Young Leader Awards program and winners of the Citi Woman Leader Awards. Interactions such as these, are undeniably the most enjoyable part of my work.
These young men and women represent India and the world's finest educational institutions. To me, they also exemplify several other qualities such as talent, energy, aspiration, excellence, focus, drive, hunger, eagerness, quest for learning, etc; arguably amongst the many requirements of leadership and success. Accordingly, they have the potential to become future leaders and managers at Citi. Which is why Citi is committed to investing in their future, and to providing them with a platform to continuously learn and grow in.
Citi has been exactly that for many, many very fortunate individuals just like myself. Ever since I walked through the doors of Citi twenty seven years ago, it has been a tremendous and extraordinary learning experience. I am very confident that this will continue in the years to come for all our young talent. To draw a parallel with life itself - those individuals who are perennially willing and interested in learning, will always distinguish themselves from those who believe that learning and education is only a finite phase in life.
In about two weeks, Citi employees in India, and the world over, will be celebrating our Global Community Day for the ninth year. Last year we had over 66,000 volunteers in 473 cities and 95 countries who volunteered for 325,000 hours. This is a very important annual day of service for us, when we come together as an institution to demonstrate our commitment to the communities we live and operate in. And for this year in India, we will be volunteering with organizations to improve public spaces and community centers across the country. Come Saturday, June 7, my family and I will be joining my colleagues to help refurbish a complex in Mumbai that houses more than 10 NGOs.
Global Community Day is one of a number of initiatives for us at Citi in the community space. I’d like to invite you to take a look through our India Corporate Citizenship Report here , which describes some of our activities and partners we work with in the country. Whether it’s through our Global Community Day each year, or through ongoing programs in education, economic empowerment and skills development, or the preservation of India’s art and cultural heritage, or ensuring that we are environmentally responsible in the way we do business, we hope that we have been, and will certainly strive to continue to be, active contributors to this country we are proud to call home.
At Citi, we are very proud and privileged to have a wonderful collection of Indian contemporary art that we have been fortunate to have collected over the years. Each one of these works has been carefully displayed and some restored, and is our own very small way of nurturing and preserving India's rich cultural heritage. Today, this 350 piece collection is very proudly displayed in our new headquarters in Mumbai. This collection comprises works from a cross section of India's most famous and renowned artists including V S Gaitonde, M F Husain, Akbar Padamsee, Jehangir Sabavala, Manjit Bawa, Francis Newton Souza and many, many others.
Art represents the values, attitudes and rich cultural fabric of a nation. Art is timeless and transcends different ages, generations, cultures, tastes and perspectives. In addition to significantly enhancing the physical attractiveness of our workplace, the Citi India Art Collection is also a constant reminder to all of us of India's rich cultural legacy. In addition to enjoying these masterpieces daily myself, I have been particularly pleased and gratified with the tremendous interest that the Collection has piqued in so many of our young employees, who now have the opportunity to experience and enjoy it every day. In order for many more people to share our enjoyment and pride, we have recently created an online gallery with some of these works. I do hope that you enjoy the collection as much as we do.
International Women's Day (IWD) - March 8 - is around the corner. In India, as with all the other markets that Citi operates in, we're taking the opportunity to celebrate and recognize all the women who work with us.
We kick off the IWD activities here this week by honoring six young, future women leaders from India's top academic institutions. This will be followed by events next week across the country that promote and foster networking, mentoring, work life balance, education, etc. Equally important, we would like to thank all the women in our personal lives, who make it possible for so many of us to continue to work at Citi.
Over the years, we have benefited in countless ways from the diversity of our workforce, and we are extremely conscious of the value that cultivating diverse talent adds to our organization.
The annual IWD events are in conjunction with a host of ongoing initiatives that we currently have underway. While India's banking industry has quite a number of female CEOs – and it must hold the world record for that, across the board and industries, we could do with more women in the India workforce. Gender diversity is a critical imperative for any organization. Please do share your thoughts on this with me, as we approach IWD.
In the recent past, I have been both amazed and pleasantly surprised at the pace with which our customers are adopting and embracing digital channels for their banking needs. Today, more than 80% of our retail customers get their financial transactions done online. This includes getting e-Statements, settling all kinds of bills, taking a Mortgage or a Personal Loan, making a Mutual Fund Investment and of course, shopping on one of the many exciting e-commerce platforms that exist. Here is an interesting statistic – at our recent online mega discount sale,, we reached 14.5 million users on Facebook.
Digitization in the banking industry clearly has transformational implications. Convenience, volumes, costs, reach and many others. It is however important to understand that opportunities emanating from this trend and from the use and adaptation of technology in the future are immense. Think only about financial inclusion. In a country where banking penetration remains low, where only 40% of adults have access to banking services, there can be no question that digitization will play a huge role in bringing more and more people into the formal banking network. And at a pace that is more rapid, in a way that is more effective.
Banking has evolved at an extraordinary pace since I joined Citi more than two decades ago. Technology undoubtedly has been an enormous driver in changing the way that banks do business and serve their customers.
Today, we have easy access to multiple channels including the Internet, mobile phones, ATMs and virtual and social media; all of which allows us not only to bank 'on the go' but also to purchase all kinds of goods and services electronically. It is what we call the advent of digitization in banking.
Technology has also transformed the ubiquitous bank branch to make it much more efficient. I am especially excited about our new branch at the Palladium Mall in Mumbai. Only 900 square feet in size, it has everything and more than what a traditional full service branch has to offer. These include interactive capabilities such as iPads, touch screens and video connect. And guess what, you can even get a credit card issued there in under two hours.
Technology unarguably has the ability to make day to day banking faster, simpler and more cost effective and fun. It means that day to day banking, which is often perceived to be a chore, need no longer be so. It also means that our customers can focus more of their time on the important elements such as saving, investing, financial planning, risk management and financial protection with our specialists.
Face to face that is interfaced with technology. I think this is the future of banking.

This article entitled Hunger Games no longer fiction: New reality show to strand contestants in wilderness while viewers send aid triggered something I have been meaning to share with you.
This separation of society into two essential strata; one living a shallow, structured, trappings-enriched life (I was reminded of the model being tested in Sandy Hook as shared by Sofia Smallstorm), and a second impoverished, slave class. We are well down the path of the creation of this within developed societies (the so-called 1% vs. the 99%, which is more like .01% or less), and it is well in place when we look in the third world.
The “sport” of hunting people in a controlled manner, usually killing them but sparing others. Cathy O’Brien wrote of experiencing this, along with her daughter at the hands of Cheney, Bush Sr. and their friend Bill Clinton. She was aware that others were shot and killed, having been hunted down with dogs, but she and her daughter were spared. Other abuses awaited them… Almost identical stories come forth in the testimony of Toos Nijenhuis, a story of satanic ritual abuse that she suffered as a child up to the age of 12. Again, she was aware of others being killed but she was spared.

I cant seem to figure out how to do this. Any help?
Would there be any way to add a date-picker to a custom field? Or would that need to be a feature request?
That was the hurdle I couldnt overcome, I was unable to add a date picker….

Checking your AWS account to see how many IAM (Identity and Access Management) users you have is a great and very simple way to get started with auditing.
You will be able to check if these users are following security, such as having Multi-Factor Authorization set up for their account, the last time they changed their password, and when they last rotated their access key.
Let us suppose that everyone in the company had access to the AWS account. Even if their job description did not require any type of access, this would make the account vulnerable because anyone can go into the account, and it creates for a less secure environment.
Auditing IAM users and making sure that they need the access to perform their task is a start to not only practicing being more secure but also enforcing IAM best practices. After all, one of the basic principles of security in AWS is the Principle of Least Privilege, which means giving the minimum amount of access required to a user to perform their task. This is just one of the many IAM best practices that Amazon recommends. To read more on what IAM best practices to use and how to enforce them, you can click here: IAM Best Practices.
For the first step, I recommend getting a summary report of your account. This is a great way to get a brief overview of the account.
The above is just an overview of what you’ll see. Next, you should download a credentials report that gives you more detailed information, such as the username of each IAM user associated with the account.
You can now assess all your IAM users and whether these users are still active employees or need to be removed because they are no longer with your company. You should practice the auditing steps above at regular intervals as a best practice for security. You should also audit whenever there is a change in your organization, such as an employee leaving, or if you suspect an unauthorized person is trying to access your account. You can read more on AWS security auditing guidelines through this link: Security Audit Guidelines.
Lastly, certain tracking can be automated through the use of an AWS Lambda function. You can run the function either monthly or biweekly to help you keep up-to-date on existing users and whether they have rotated their access keys or set up Multi-Factor Authorization.

Northwest Arkansas today is a welcoming home to a diverse and world-class group of international creators—a place where musicians, artists, sculptors, actors and inventors have all found space to share their work.
But flash back 30 years, and it was a place in search of its creative footing. The region’s rich cultural heritage was comprised primarily of individual artists, craftspeople and makers.
"The artistic life of the region prior to the Walton Arts Center primarily consisted of a few community theatre and university projects and a combined community/university orchestra. That was about it," recalls Bill Mitchell, the center's first CEO.
When he arrived in Fayetteville in 1987, after being recruited from the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Bill met a determined Helen Walton. She was tired, she said, of taking her family to the orchestra at the University of Arkansas’ old men’s gym.
Soon, a unique partnership between the University of Arkansas and the City of Fayetteville would take root. Under the joint leadership of the city and university, the project proceeded. Helen Walton and fellow symphony fan Billie Jo Starr were frequent fixtures at the construction site. The women were among the major donors who helped take the Walton Arts Center from vision to reality.
Over the next five years, with this substantial community effort, the Walton Arts Center would rise and become the first major arts and cultural institution in the region.
The original 1,200-seat hall opened its doors on a once-neglected stretch of Fayetteville’s Dickson Street in 1992. "Our mandate from day one was to bring art and artists to Northwest Arkansas that had not been available to the community," said Bill.
Through the early ‘90s, the center built its presence on the national stage, hosting world-class performers from Yo-Yo Ma to the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. For Bill, it was a performance at the Walton Arts Center by the Kansas City Symphony that proved a turning point.
Another goal was to incorporate the center into the artistic education of the region's schoolchildren.
"I remember Helen telling me that once we got children through the front door, we know we will have made it," said Bill.
Even today, for many children in Northwest Arkansas, a performance at the Walton Arts Center marks their first theatre experience.
“It’s really gratifying for me to hear a young person say they remember coming to the WAC as a child,” says Peter Lane, the center’s current CEO. “We want to make sure every child has an opportunity to enjoy the performing arts.” As for Helen Walton’s early metric of success? Northwest Arkansas is home to 60,000 children in grades K-5. Roughly half engage with the center annually, Peter says.
This commitment to access and inclusion extends to every resident of the region. The center’s 10x10 Arts Series allows access to 10 performances throughout the season for just $10 a show. And, Trail Mix lets residents and visitors alike enjoy free performances while strolling local trails in both Bentonville and Fayetteville, encountering artists and musicians along the way. In partnership with artistic affiliate Trike Theatre, the center also is bringing the arts into classrooms, traveling to all 75 counties in the state teaching Arkansas history through the arts.
The center also acts as an incubator of talent, helping individuals and projects evolve and expand. One prime example: Local company TheatreSquared had its home for nearly a decade in the center and is now moving out to its own 51-500-square-foot performance arts space on the much-revived Dickson Street.
Today, the Walton Arts Center has become one of the largest and busiest arts presenters in the Mid-South, and one of only 60 performing art centers in the country doing full-week Broadway runs. “In a community of half a million, we mailed out 380,000 tickets last year,” says Peter.
In 2016, the center underwent a $23 million renovation and expansion that positioned it to present larger shows as well as host community events in a variety of new, flexible spaces.
Twenty-six years after its doors first opened, the center remains driven by a core belief that art can have a powerful impact on people's lives.
During that quarter century, the region has built upon this strong foundation, most notably with the 2011 opening of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to the region’s north, alongside The Scott Family Amazeum and TheatreSquared to name a few. An emerging group of grassroots arts organizations, such as the Latinx Theatre Project and Artists Laboratory Theatre, are also gaining notice.
Yet even as the offerings in the area have expanded, the Walton Arts Center stands as an original and steadfast anchor for all those in Northwest Arkansas who find inspiration through the arts.

Hi, My name is BlockyLive I'm a small YouTuber trying to make it on YouTube. I did some research on how to become successful on this platform. As every youtube knows it's hard to make it on YouTube so I want to tell you my plan on creating a successful youtube channel. I organized this guide in four parts(not including this introduction). Before I start I want to say that I'm not big yet. These points are just some things I learned from doing research. They may or may not help you and this is my first guide as well. Make sure to put any concerns in the comments section. Just wanted to point it out there, let's start.
As a YouTuber, you need to have the time and the commitment to your channel. Be prepared to work very hard on your videos. You should be posting at least once a week. Like all things the more work you put in more you will get out. Also, you need to be ready to receive hate. The more you grow you will encounter many haters. Just ignore theses comments and move on. On the other hand, you will get support and constructive criticism make sure to listen to people that are politely expressing their concerns about your channel. They are not haters, listen to what they're saying and change your channel.
When people first come to your channel they will see your channel page. On this page, they will see your Logo, channel banner, and your playlist and videos. It is important that you set up your channel so it looks nice and presentable. The first thing you want to do is to lay out your front page. Go to the gear next to the subscribe button and add your channel trailer, playlist, uploads etc. Next, your gonna want to make a banner and logo. If you don't have any money use gimp, pixel or paint.net. I personally think gimp is the best one but, pick what works best for you. If you have a bit of a budget get photoshop. If you didn't know Photoshop is a nonlinear photo editor. It has lots of features but it comes with a hefty price tag. All of this software have lots of tutorials that can help you out if you need it.
Now that you have the equipment you're going to want to make the video. Firs thing of ideas for your video. You can make a gameplay series a review anything. You're going to want to be energetic and passionate about your videos so pick a topic that best suits your video. When you're done edit your video and upload it to YouTube. When your video is uploading you're going to need to learn about SEO. SEO stands for search engine optimization. This topic is very hard to explain properly so I recommend you to watch someone like Derral Eves, or the Video Creators channel. They will explain is much better.
So promotion is very important for a youtube channel. This is the best way to directly lead others to your channel. I noticed a lot of people on this forum having a problem with this topic. So I'm going to try to explain my methods of promoting. First, this site is a good place to start. If you do a profile page with all of your info on it will probably be very beneficial for you. Plus as you post a forum you channel link is clearly visible. I got a lot of views from this site so it works. Next, you can use social media. Twitter, facebook google plus are very good platforms to promote on. They may not get a whole lot of engagement but it still a good method of promotion. Finally just interacting with people will sometimes get you some views or subs.
So I hope this guide helped you. I just want to try to help others as much as possible. I want all of us to have a successful youtube channel. These are some of the strategies that I plan to use for my channel. Make sure to do your own research because there is a lot more stuff I did not talk about in the post. This is my first guide and I would be very happy to hear your feedback. So this has been BlockyLive signing out.
Thank you for all that!
1) Patience, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Our curriculum is structured mainly into five Practitioner levels, five Graduate levels and five Expert levels. Each level has a specific syllabus and requirements. In addition, there are three Master levels (Imi granted up to Master 3 / Expert 8), which has specific requirements, but no curriculum, associated with them.
Climbing from one level to the next in the Practitioner levels requires a minimum of about half a year of regular training before a student can seek to take an exam. Graduate levels require half a year to one year of regular training between levels, and Expert levels require one to five years or regular training to pass from one Expert level to the next.
Eyal Yanilov, currently the head of KMG, created the modern Krav Maga ranking system and curriculum back in the 1980s. He implemented this system when he was head of IKMF and now has evolved it further as head of KMG.
Back in 1964, when Imi retired from the military, there was no formal ranking system in Krav Maga. In the first months when Imi started teaching civilians, he gave his students military shirts which served as their Krav Maga uniforms.
Shortly after, Imi thought he would bring Krav Maga into the realm of martial arts and fighting sports family. As such, he adopted the Judo uniforms and the Judo belt ranking for Krav Maga and created a curriculum for 6 different belts: yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black. This was the system when Eyal began training with Imi in the 1970s.
In 1987, when Imi put Eyal in charge of the Krav Maga grading committee of the IKMA, he developed a new curriculum which was approved by Imi. At the time, Eyal still kept the colored belts, but revised the curriculum and added grades up to 5th degree Expert or Black Belt. During that time, many younger instructors stopped wearing the belts while teaching, and used them only for special occasions. Soon, the training uniform started to change as well, as students no longer wore the full Judo gi, but instead just t-shirts and Judo/Karate pants.
When Eyal started going out of Israel and worked to spread Krav Maga around the world, it became apparent to him that the belt system was not suitable for Krav Maga, which was seen as a system with military roots, and was not progressive for teaching.
In the 1990s, Eyal, with the assistance of some senior European students at the time, created the Practitioner, Graduate and Expert Levels of Krav Maga that we know today. (The three Master levels remain without curriculum.) Since the system had obviously evolved from what it was in the late 1980’s, Eyal also needed to alter and rearrange the division, progression and flow of the curriculum. A new curriculum was then created, and this was approved by Imi about half a year before he passed away.
Today, the curriculum still evolves under the guidance of Eyal to meet the needs of the modern world.
Practitioner (P) levels are where the student begins their journey as a Krav Maga practitioner. At this level, the practitioner is known as an “Operator” — a student who is learning each technique step-by-step and applying the basic principles and methodologies that they have learned. Practitioner levels cover all the fundamental strikes used in Krav Maga, defenses against common empty-hand attacks (kicks, punches, chokes, etc.) from standing and on the ground, defenses against basic knife and stick threats and attacks, basic third-party protection, and soft (non-violent) solutions. Students also learn proper decision making, and tactics for basic multiple attacker scenarios.
Graduate (G) levels are where the student enters the “Fighter” stage. They have successfully demonstrated proper technique and have the ability for better decision-making when under stress. In these levels, students are introduced to more difficult and complicated scenarios, built on the fundamental techniques in the Practitioner Levels. Students learn more advanced strikes and striking combinations, defenses against various cold weapons attacks and firearm threats, different starting positions and states of readiness, dealing with various progressions of problems, and intermediate multiple attackers situations. All KMG Instructors must be at least G-level in order to teach.
Expert (E) levels are known as the “Warrior” stage. This means Expert level practitioners can successfully move from one defense to the next without hesitation during unpredictable threats. They can also demonstrate strong skills in fighting tactics. Expert level testing is by invitation only, and has specific requirements apart from testing for each level.
Ranks and curriculum for the professional and government sectors are separate from civilian training. KMG has three (3) Fighter levels and three (3) Warrior levels that are awarded upon successful completion of our sector-specific courses. These programs are specific to law enforcement, military, security, SWAT, Special Anti-terror, and VIP protection.
This curriculum covers both lethal and non-lethal techniques, and aims to train and educate Operators and Units to be complete Fighters and Warriors. As a complete program, KMG’s professional training cover Mentality (fighting spirit, focus, decision-making under stress, etc.), Physical Ability (explosive power, absorbing ability, functioning under stress and fatigue, etc.), Technical Proficiency (technique learning and application for various situations and environments), and Tactical Thinking (fight tactics, pre-fight tactics, and post-incident tactics).
Students should note that membership in a KMG-affiliated training club does not guarantee qualification for grading. We require all instructors to separately approve students for grading, if they comply with requirements. Furthermore, local testing will be done by the China HQ or by instructors authorized specifically authorized by HQ under specific conditions. In the interest of fairness and ethical practice, instructors will typically not test their own students.
Because of the strict training and qualification requirements per rank, we ensure that KMG students have solid self-defense and fighting abilities as they progress. In the end, our goal is not merely to award a rank or a certificate, but to ensure that students come away with real-world skills and abilities.
For current KMG students, please refer to the “Requirements for P-Level Testing” to see if you qualify for an exam. In addition, please note that testing students must comply with the KMG Student Code of Conduct in order to be eligible for testing. We expect all KMG students to be have good character and personal discipline, and to show respect to their school, instructors, fellow students, and society in general.
Our Patches and Diplomas are issued after grading, in accordance with the testing standards of KMG internationally. Patches represent the generally ranks of adult civilian training with KMG (Krav Junior rankings, patches, and diplomas are different from adults).
KMG Passports, each with a unique identification number, are also issued to students who rank with us. It is a log book in which training and grading information can be documented. It indicates which club a student belongs to, which courses and qualifications they have taken, which seminars and workshops they have attended, and what their current grade is.
Note: Patches or civilian diplomas representing rank do not represent instructorship under KMG, as qualification and testing instructorship is separate from civilian rankings. Patches or civilian diplomas also do not represent specialist Krav Maga certifications (i.e. law enforcement, military, VIP protection).
1. Why should I grade? Is it a requirement to grade?
We encourage students who train seriously and regularly to grade up in the system so they can progress. Gradings are a measure of proficiency, ability, and personal discipline: it tells that instructor that you know the techniques by heart and have the discipline and maturity to progress to the next level of training.
We do not, however, require students to grade. We understand that many students may not be interested in test-taking, and are just looking to learn useful techniques for self-defense.
2. What do I need to do to be eligible for grading?
Meet the minimum training time for grading at your local school (standard is 4 to 6 months between levels), follow the guidelines of your local school and the KMG Student Code of Conduct, and get the approval of your instructor.
3. If I train everyday, can I grade faster?
As a general rule, this is not allowed. KMG does not allow for “cramming” of training, especially at the first few levels. Muscle memory, coordination, and technical skill is only developed with proper training over time, not by cramming. At the first few levels, we also want students to train correct movement, muscle memory and clean techniques, as they will be building on these foundational movements when they progress.
4. My instructor is not approving me for grading, what can I do?
Talk to your instructor and find out why, and improve on your problem areas. Your instructor will be able to give you real feedback on what you need to work on before grading.
Please note that KMG requires instructors to screen candidates for grading, even on the early levels, not just for technical skills but also good personal character. Students who violate the KMG Code of Conduct, even if they fulfill other training requirements, will not be accepted for gradings.
5. I have a grade with another Krav Maga organization. Can I convert my grade to your system?
6. I just tested into G1, does that mean I can be an instructor?
No. Under KMG, instructor certification is separate from ranking. You can be an Expert 1 level rank, but without passing the GIC, you will not be qualified for teaching.
Separating general ranking from instructorship is one of the hallmarks of KMG’s professionalism. We recognize that a good practitioner / fighter does not necessarily make a good instructor. Instructorship requires the ability to teach others, and a deep understanding of the system and its application for different people. Instructors are also expected to show discipline, humility, good judgement, and maturity, in accordance with the Instructor Code of Conduct. This is something we screen for separately when we do our Instructor training and testing.

Q: My girlfriend eats fast-food at least once a day. Her daughter has been raised with no vegetables, no fruit, packaged chicken nuggets, and tons of soda for the most part since age 2. Now 12 years old, she is about 4’6” and 20 pounds overweight.
Is it possible her small height (both her parents are taller) and her poor grades at school are the result of consuming an awful diet from such a young age? My girlfriend insists that these are not nutrition-related, but that the girl has a learning disability and wants to put her daughter on medication such as Strattera for her cognitive impairment. Could dietary changes help?
A: I see cases like this a lot, where parents aren’t aware of the critical association between what we choose to eat and the quality of our health—physical, mental, emotional and otherwise. Because eating habits are strongly ingrained in our formative years, changing them can be challenging, especially in a twelve year old who has access to junk food outside of the house after school and during other occasions with friends.
It is likely that your girlfriend’s daughter has some nutritional deficiencies, given the lack of vegetable and fruit intake that you describe. Processed foods like chicken nuggets contain trans fats and MSG. MSG is known to cause neurological symptoms and the displacement of quality fats with trans fats is implicated in learning deficits and behavioral issues. And soda is, well, pretty toxic between the sugar, phosphoric acid and colorings it contains. This is definitely a recipe for cognitive impairment, ADD and learning difficulties in school.
With regard to her height, she will continue to grow in stature until age 16 or so. It’s hard to say at this point in time whether she will be short in stature later on. Indeed, cleaning up her diet will only help.
Besides micronutrient deficiencies, food allergies and intolerances are frequently implicated in learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD. A full workup is recommended. Often, the fixes can be much simpler and certainly less harmful. You can read more about ADD/ADHD on the Intelligent Medicine website, and can listen to Dr. Hoffman’s podcast about it here.
Strattera is typically used for ADD or ADHD and has its own set of problems. You can read about them here.
There are far too many diagnoses of ADD/ADHD as it is, in my opinion, and children are overmedicated as a result. Remember, medication is not a panacea if it’s only treating symptoms. Intelligent nutrition elucidates the cause and treats it appropriately.

January 2012 - Forecasts & Trends - Investment Strategies, Analysis & Intelligence for Seasoned Investors.
You Can’t Go Home Again... Or Can You?
Recent statistics from the US Census Bureau indicate that more adult children are either moving back with mom and dad, or never leaving in the first place. Studies show that this is not just a US phenomenon, but is also occurring across the globe. While it's easy to see that the economy is a major factor in this demographic shift, my focus this week will be on a possible silver lining.
If adult children are moving back home due to lack of a job or not making enough money to make ends meet, this can be an excellent "teachable moment" for parents. The current economic environment is a way for parents to impart valuable wisdom about saving and investing to their adult children. While it's not always easy to get the attention of adult children, at least you won't have to convince them that rainy days happen since we're coming out of one of the worst economic storms we've ever seen.
Obviously, it's better to start teaching children about saving when they are young. To help parents or grandparents of younger children, I have also included a discussion about the best ways to approach teaching kids about money, along with some valuable Internet resources to help you along.
We touch several bases today. We begin by looking at some recent economic reports which are encouraging. We also preview this Friday's very important first report on 4Q GDP. The pre-report consensus is for a number in the 3-4% range (annual rate), following only 1.8% in the 3Q. Following that discussion, I will bring you the latest estimates from the Blue Chip Economic Indicators, a monthly survey of 50 leading economists and forecasters.
From economics, we shift gears and take a look at income tax policies. I will attempt to explain how some wealthy Americans (think Warren Buffet, Mitt Romney, etc.) can legally pay a lower tax rate than rank-and-file Americans who earn "ordinary" (W-2) income. I will also explain the difference between the "marginal" tax rate and the "effective" tax rate. The two rates are significantly different, yet the media often refer both in the same breath without making the distinction.
Next we look at a recent poll of over 500 millionaires. Believe it or not, 71% said they believe the "rich" should pay higher taxes. But in the same survey, 49% said that the higher tax rate should NOT apply to them but only to super-rich types like Warren Buffett. There are several other interesting insights from this poll of millionaires which I will point out.
Today we visit several interesting topics. We begin with a look at the Fed’s latest Beige Book report that came out last week, which showed that the economy improved at least modestly in all 12 Fed Districts late last year. We also ponder the question of whether the Fed is ramping up to do another round of quantitative easing (QE3).
Next, with everyone wondering if we’re facing another roller coaster ride in the stock market this year, I will bring you some interesting facts about what stocks have historically done in presidential election years.
Finally, we received a great deal of response to last week’s E-Letter that focused on members of Congress and how they fare so much better than the rest of us financially speaking. Given the level of interest in this topic, I dug a little deeper over the last week to find some fascinating information on the so-called “Top 1%” of wealthiest Americans. You’re going to love this!

The Decision..wait is she still working for Jordan?
So I still get a ton of DM’s & texts asking me if I’m still working. Here’s the answer.
The journey that led me to this decision. My crazy journey being the combination of being a basketball player’s fiancé and the insane career resume I’ve built for myself from working at the top sneaker company in the world for over the past 5 years.
I would say my life is pretty exciting to say the least. My weeks usually consisted of traveling to Houston last season to visit Kyle, travel to an NBA city to cheer on the Rockets or fly to one of our key cities for a work trip.
As “glamorous” as it seems from the outside, and don’t get me wrong I count my blessings everyday, it’s not always as perfect as it seems..IT’S FREAKING HARD!
Trying to grow in my career that I love but missing my boyfriend everyday, trying to gain respect as female in an egotistical male dominated industry, thirsty girls in every city trying to work their way in on that professional athlete wag lifestyle, jealousy from people you thought were your closest friends, having to be selective of who you can trust in a self absorbed industry, ROOKIE girlfriend life, dealing with fake people everyday who you know want to see you fail, long distance, the thought of having to choose either my career or the love of my life…the list goes on.
The thought of having to choose either my career or the love of my life.
So there you have it, I CHOSE LOVE.
And it was fu*king hard okay?!? The hardest decision I’ve had to make in my life to this point. But damn, when I sat and thought day in and day out of what truly makes me happy, it was Kyle. He is my best friend and the love of my life. We have so much fun together and I was starting to feel like I was missing out on big moments in his life and career which I would just kick myself for missing. I tried my hardest to be at all the important things, I did a great job at that, but I just was so depressed not being there for him during milestone moments. He needs me & I need him. We have been doing long distance for long enough, 4 & a half years to be exact. So we decided to start the next chapter of our lives..finally together. And it’s in FREAKING GREECE!!! How the hell could I turn that down?
Cool news is, I’ve got something up my sleeve to my next move. I’ll keep you guys posted once it becomes official.
As sad as I was to leave campus, I mean cried A LOT lol, I’m very happy with my decision! THIS IS NOT THE END OF CHARDAY, this is just the beginning.

Like many of you, refugees have been on my mind this week. Stories and pictures of families seeking refuge from Syria flood my computer screen, my radio and my mind's eye. This week also marks one year since we shared our home and lives with a Syrian Refugee family - a Muslim mother and her three wonderful daughters.
As irony would have it, they moved in on September 11th as we celebrated our daughter's 5th birthday. They came with everything they owned in black garbage bags that filled and overflowed our car. We shared meals, customs, laughs, parenting woes, homework, frustration and a good dose of misunderstanding. The woman taught me how to cook Syrian food (yum!) and I showed her how to use my sewing machine so she could sew a second hijab (prayer veil) so that she and her daughter could say their prayers at the same time. I listened in horror as she spent hours on the phone with her family back in Aleppo who were in the middle of the fighting. Cousins wounded, hospitals demolished, bombings and missing loved ones. It put my own worries into serious perspective.
Their time with us was full of highs and lows, joy and conversation, and so much frustration. To leave out the frustration would be dishonest. Our customs, our language, our food, our habits are all so different, and compounded by language barriers. They had so much to overcome before their lives could ever be "normal" again - they had been an upper class family in Syria, so along with everything else that was new, they were new to being poor. It made me wonder how well I would do if I were plunked into a foreign country with nothing but my children and my faith, and I suspect that the answer is: not well.
This family was so unique and interesting. Each girl had a personality and a spark of her own. The mother, like me, had a weak spot for dessert, facebook, People magazine, and she had a killer pair of blue high heels. She helped me realize that every Muslim woman is an individual under the veil she wears...each with unique wants, interests, struggles and desires. This should be obvious I suppose, but I don't know that I had ever thought about it. How easy (and convenient) it is to assign one identity to a whole group of people - but how much we miss when we do, and how much harm we do.
The refugee situation scares me. It scares me because I know firsthand how hard it is to take in refugees and live together peacefully. It scares me because I have seen just a tiny sliver of the pain, fear and heartache that they carry. It scares me because I understand that they come with years, decades, lifetimes of need. Need for food and shelter yes, but need for healing and peace and education and safety and connection. Hard things.
But also common things. Healing. Peace. Education. Safety. Connection.
Things that so many people need. People from Syria. People from Chicago. People in our towns. People in our backyards are seeking refuge, too. Refuge from addiction. Refuge from domestic violence. Refuge from homelessness. Refuge from being lonely. Refuge from too much, or too little. Refuge from hunger, poverty, pain, isolation, persecution, hopelessness.
I am afraid that we might be more concerned about the Syrian Refugees than the refugees in our backyard because it feels safer. They are really far away.
Don't get me wrong - send prayers, send money, educate yourself and by all means, if you can open your home to them, do - it will change you forever. But if you can't, I hope and pray that you will take those feelings of horror and injustice and shock and that intense desire to help and do more than click a thumbs-up button on a friend's post.
Find your own refugees and give them a refuge.
I hope that when you and I look back one year from now, we will each have a new face, a new friend who comes to mind. Someone we have given refuge to. Because the secret of it all is that while we are busy giving, it is us who receive. They are the ones who have what we need. They will enrich our lives far beyond what we could ever give to them.
If you ask Hubby and I what our greatest fears for our children are, "entitlement" is near the top of both of our lists. Not abduction, disease, injury or even coming back to live in our basement forever...entitlement. It is running rampant through both our generation and theirs and we truly believe that it can ruin lives.
This Summer we decided it would be a good time to take an intentional, calculated stance against entitlement...both in ourselves and in our children. Thus, the Summer Family Challenge was born. We have to give credit to Jen Hatmaker and her book 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess for the inspiration, though we have taken her ideas in our own direction and made our own rules. Here is how it works.
The one thing that was taking more time and stealing more joy in our household was, believe it or not, laundry. Monday was laundry day...or rather the start to laundry week. The task was never done, piles of laundry sat in my entryway for all to see and it greeted me every time I walked into my house. I crabbed at the kids to help, to stop leaving laundry all over, to not throw clean laundry into the hamper...a pair of dirty socks on the floor could <literally people...not figuratively> bring me to tears...I'm sure you know the story. So we said enough is enough.
In addition, each member of the family got 1 bath towel. We removed all other clothing from our dressers and tucked it away.
How did it work? Very, very well.
We let the kids run out of clothes a few times - used both pairs of pajamas and didn't wash them? Borrow or do without. No shorts left? Wear your pants- roll them up if it is hot. They quickly got the idea that they needed to keep track of their clothes and be sure that they got into the washing machine in time to be ready to wear the next day. We all became more judicious about what really needed washing and what could be worn again. I found 0 wet towels on the floor and we only required 1 bin of shoes.
The laundry went like this- "who needs something washed?!" Everyone would bring their clothes and toss them in. When they were dry, I would gather everyone, toss the items to the correct person and they would take their armful of laundry to their dresser, fold and put it away right that minute. All told, it takes less than 5 minutes work to do ALL of our laundry (okay, except for when a crayon made it into the dryer). It has become a fraction of the job it once was because we all pitch in and we are using less.
Was it hard only wearing the same clothes over and over? That has always been Hubby's fashion strategy - on the first cold day of the year, a coworker once remarked, "Ah, I see it is college sweatshirt season again!" For me it makes getting dressed really easy. I pick a different necklace and a t-shirt and call it a new outfit. If our friends noticed we were reusing the same outfits, they were too polite to mention it...but I suspect that most people spend much less time thinking about me and my wardrobe than I think they do.
During this month, we took time to clean out our closets and ONLY keep things that we fit and actually wear. At the end of the challenge, we decided it was working so well that we would keep it up. We now have a system where we occasionally trade out clothing items from "the stash" into the dressers. If you want a different pair of shorts, you have to trade in the pair you have been wearing.
We have tied the challenge into our faith, but really, it is good practice for anyone to become more aware of needs versus wants and more thankful for the things they have. It had gotten to a point at our house where we had become slaves to our overabundance of clothes. It feels great to have taken back the reins and found a balance again.
Now we are participating in Month 2 - The Food Challenge. More on that when it is over!
1) Work and art gets admired and then goes into a storage bin that sits in the office. The kids know that is where it goes, and know that we don't throw away their work- if they want to see it, it is there. Likewise, if we ever need to look back at a spelling test or homework assignment, we can find it.
2) After school ends, Hubby and I sit down after the kids go to bed (under the cover of darkness) and sort through the items. We sort them by child first, and then pick out 6 or 8 of the best items from each child for the year. Those go into a portfolio that is divided by school year. The items that are not selected go into black bags and right into the recycling and garbage bins.
In the future, we will probably include the kids in sorting through the items, but right now they are at the age where everything would go into the keep pile, and that is just not practical. We like this system because we are too sentimental to toss things into the garbage when they first come home, and we don't believe that it is kind to toss kid's work out in front of them. I, for one, would be pretty crushed to work hard on something just to have someone throw it away (and they always seem to find it, the little trash-monitors!) I know people do this all the time- you should see the trash cans at preschool- but it hurts my teacher heart. I just can't do that. So we save things. Time gives us perspective on what the best items are to keep, and also gives us some distance from the moment to throw away the non-keepers. Plus it is fun to look back over the whole year, recall the highlights and see how far each child has come.
So there you have it- one way to deal with ALL THE PAPER!
Serial Casting- THE FINAL UPDATE!
After a year and a half, we are super thrilled to announce that Flower is DONE with the serial casting/daily physical therapy/AFOs for her toe-walking. Hooray!! She has made great progress, and while her gait is not 100% perfect, we (along with her therapists) made the decision that it is good enough for everything she wants to do - run, walk, skip, climb trees, ride her bike - and it is not going to cause her any sort of back or knee pain in the future. She is out of her day braces almost completely now- though we are keeping a watchful (obsessive?) eye to make sure she stays off those toes. Honestly though, we never see her up on her toes anymore.
She will continue to wear night braces for the next 10 years to maintain the length of her calf muscles that she gained during the serial casting. She'll pop in to see her PT now and then to get her night braces adjusted and for evaluations, but for all intents and purposes, we're calling it done.
Thanks for following along and supporting us on this long road...it has been a great encouragement to know so many people were rooting for her!
I just love some of the conversations I have with my kiddos, and thought it would be fun to keep track of a few of them here.
Mommy, that's Chick Fil A.
My friends at school talked about it and that place has good chicken.
Well honey, we don't eat there.
We don't agree with some of their unfair laws.
WAIT, THEY DON'T LET BLACK PEOPLE EAT THEIR CHICKEN?
No, they do. But they don't think gay people should be allowed to get married.
You mean, like two boys or two girls?
Well, that's stupid. Getting married has nothing to do with chicken.
I agree, but we don't like to support their ideas with our money, so we don't eat there.
Oh, like Rosa Parks and her bus, right? How the people just walked instead?
So, do you think if they change their unfair laws we could eat their chicken? Because my friend says its really good.
I blink my eyes and here we are at Spring Break (don't be fooled by the foot of snow we got today, it is Spring Break!). What have we been up to lately? Plenty...none of it blogging...but plenty!
1. I started my own school! As we approached the "what are we doing next year for school/teaching/life" discussion we have each year at this time, Hubby finally talked me into following a dream I've had for a long time. He argued, and I couldn't disagree, that the time was right. The kids are the right age, we have the right space in our home, the stars just seemed to be aligned. So I have opened my own Early Childhood program. So far I am teaching Music and Art classes, but plan to expand to a playschool and more programs as I get my licensing in order. I was a bit concerned that I would have no students (hello insecurity), but I have been pleasantly surprised with the mix of dear friends who are supporting me by enrolling their kiddos, and new families who have heard about the school. I am having a lot of fun with it, and hope it grows to be a great community for everyone involved.
3. We are struggling again with Mr Lego and his school experience. Spring is typically a difficult season for him, and this year is no exception...he is struggling with school and less his happy self at home. School conferences yield many good questions, but few answers. We are blessed with so many caring people working hard to help him, but to be honest, we are growing weary of hearing professionals tell us that "they don't know what to tell us, but he really is a sweet and fascinating child." Yes, we know that...we adore him and are fascinated as well (I mean this kid could list the states in reverse alphabetical order by state capital as a toddler...he really is fascinating) but isn't there ANYONE out there who has some answers for us? It seems like the majority of kids "like him" are homeschooled...and while we do homeschool one day a week, we are not ready to give up on the hope that our public school can provide at least some of what he needs. Our latest "its worth a shot" is some Occupational Therapy to explore some sensory issues to see if that helps him be a happier camper. We shall see. At least he's never boring...and he laughs at my bad puns. Definitely a keeper.
4. In Flower news, her legs are coming along very well now that we are a year post-serial-casting. Her toe-walking is really gone, the range of motion in her calves and feet is wonderful, and we are starting to wean her out of her leg braces a bit at a time. She is still working hard to improve her gait and keep her center of mass back. Right now she is in her AFOs (braces) about 20 hours a day...some days more, some days less. She will wear night braces for many years to come, but we hope she can be out of day braces by the time she starts Kindergarten this Fall. The best news is that we are finished with our PT down in the city and we are going to complete her treatment with our beloved Physical Therapist two minutes down the road. I won't miss those snowy drives down to the city (though I might miss our lunch dates on the way). We are FINALLY seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and it feels good!
5. Meanwhile, Little Bee continues to be our thumb-sucking, "hair-twiggling" joy. She is bright and happy and loves to sit us all down on the couch to watch her "dance class moves." She adores preschool and has joined right into the imaginative play with her siblings here at home. She's a blast.
6. We had a huge Tae-Kwon-Do Winter...Lego and Hubby both tested for their black belts, I tested for my Half-Black, Flower tested for her purple belt, and Little Bee joined us in class, earning her white belt. It is SO fun to do this as a whole family now, and we log a LOT of hours at the TKD studio.
So, that's life in these parts, more or less. We're working on a few home projects, looking forward to some serious gardening when the snow finally melts and keeping up with the day to day. Life is really, really good right now, we feel very blessed!
Boredom is not the enemy.
It is not the parent's foe.
It is the child's inspiration.
Okay folks, let's talk boredom today. Let me start by saying that I LOVE to plan activities for my children. I plan them because they are fun/educational/interesting/fun/memory-making/fun, but NOT to "keep my kids busy." That is their job.
I will address the screens issue in another post, but here I am going to discuss boredom.
In this uber-connected, Pinterest-perusing, ability-testing society, it is very easy to feel like your main parenting responsibility is to keep your child occupied and enriched at all times. The years are short and time is already running out for them to master all the skills you'd love for them to have. And so you fill their days to the brim with great things: school, gymnastics, piano, horseback riding, taekwondo (just to name a few of my family's activities). Add in competitive sports and, heaven forbid, your child needs some form of therapy- PT, OT, speech- and your week is full to bursting. When are our children bored (besides all that time we spend in the car between activities)?
When are they bored and not buckled in?!
It is when our kids are bored that become inventive. They pretend, they scheme, they plan, they build, they problem-solve and occasionally draw murals on our walls. They create worlds that delight them, scare them, intrigue them, and then they figure out how to deal with those emotions. They care for one another, or argue. They have fights, play separately, get bored all over again, and discover that playing together is worth getting over the fight. They fall down, look to see if you noticed, and then get up and brush themselves off. They practice being adults- they practice being just like us.
So please, oh please, oh please, leave time in your week for your kids to be bored. When they come to you and complain that they are bored, nod your head and say, "huh" and then begin a mind-numbing task like picking lint out of the dryer vent. Invite them to join you. Offer to find them something to sweep out in the garage (but do NOT make them do their chores...see "chores should not be punishment if you actually want kids to do them.") But most of all, just ignore them and be boring yourself. Don't engage them and they will eventually tire of you and find something else to do.
When they come to you and request balloons, tape, help reaching the dress-up bin, get them what they need and then return to being boring. You'll be amazed- their play will get better and better, and then one day you'll ignore your children while you work on a blog post (ahem) and you'll come upstairs to find that your daughters have planned a party- complete with balloons, party games, dress up outfits for the whole family, a calendar of events, handwritten signs (who says play can't reinforce academic skills) and wrapped up "gifts." They are working harder than most employees on a good day. They are conversing, compromising, problem-solving (because tying balloons is hard!), working together (not sure how they got the balloons taped so high on the wall, probably don't want to know), and demonstrating all the skills they need to be grown. Demonstrating all the skills they need to continue to learn for the rest of their lives.
So if we run out of time for those bagpipe or fencing lessons, I feel confident that they will find a way to pick those things up in the future if they would like. Of course, they might be too busy planning parties- or running the country.

What Exactly is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)?
Minimally invasive surgery is any surgery that is able to achieve the same goals as more traditional surgeries, while causing less collateral damage. Almost all specialties have an MIS version of their traditional surgeries. Generally speaking, the MIS approach results in less pain, fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay and higher overall patient satisfaction. In general surgery, a laproscopic appendectomy would be an example.
The problem, however, is minimally invasive surgery is not a well-defined term, and some conversations regarding the method have blurred the lines of what is and what is not actually minimally invasive.
Let’s suppose a person has herniated lumbar disc. Often, a lumbar micro-discectomy is recommended as the appropriate treatment. In this procedure, a 18 to 24mm incision is made on the patient’s lower back and a small tube or retractor is used along with a microscope, which provides light and magnification. This procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis because the incision is small and the recovery time is relatively quick.
One could say that this is a minimally invasive approach. However, it is also the standard operation for this condition and is the same procedure that almost every surgeon does. The same can be said for the most common cervical operation, an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). With this procedure the incision on the front of the neck is small and there is almost no muscle dissection. Is it accurate to say that these procedures are minimally invasive. But, this is the standard procedure that nearly every surgeon would perform and is not actually a less invasive surgical option than what is typically offered.
Now, let’s look at a more complicated lumbar fusion procedure. The standard operation here involves a large open incision in the back, dissection of the muscles off the spine, and placement of screws in the spine. Extremely invasive, right? There are far less invasive approaches to this procedure, however.
Posterior operations include a small incision in which a small tubular retractor is inserted and screws are placed using a tiny wires as guides. This procedure can also be done from the side which is called a lateral fusion. With these cases, the minimally invasive approach results in significantly less pain, reduced risk of complications, less time in the hospital and far greater patient satisfaction. The abilities of a surgeon to perform this type of procedure, using a minimally invasive approach, include additional training and a more focused skill set than the standard approach. It’s clear in this situation that the MIS approach is significantly different than the standard approach and is well deserving of the appropriate distinction.
Given that the term “minimally invasive” connotes a superior outcome, it is no surprise that many physicians want to market themselves as MIS surgeons. If a physician only performs the standard operation, are they truly worthy of the MIS distinction? On the other hand, when a physician does offer a MIS alternative to the standard operation, shouldn’t that be set apart?
If your surgeon tells you that a minimally invasive surgery is not your best option, get a second opinion before moving forward. There is almost always a better, less invasive option than traditional open surgery if you can find the appropriate surgeon.
When looking for a surgeon who does propose a MIS approach, you should find out what percentage of their operations are truly MIS, compared to standard procedures. A surgeon who truly understands and embraces the benefits of minimally invasive surgery will rarely, if ever, perform a traditional open surgery.

When the Holocaust is mentioned, most people recall images of tattooed numbers on forearms, footage of children in striped uniforms in Auschwitz or Hitler's speeches. Dispelling our notions of a "Holocaust documentary", Forgotten Transports have none of that. Based on 400 hours of interviews recorded in twenty countries on five continents and ten years of work, each of the four films describes one destination of Nazi transports and one unique "mode of survival" in extreme conditions - told, for the first time, by Czech and Central European Jews deported to unknown ghettos and camps in Latvia, Belarus, Estonia and Poland.
The film about Estonia offers a fascinating story of a group of young women and girls who - thanks to youthful naivety, friendship, mutual help and giving up individual thinking - managed to pass through camps while remaining oblivious to the genocide around them. Unlike in Estonia, where there were no male survivors, from the 7,000 Czech deportees to Belarus no women came back. However, twenty-two fiercely self-reliant men did, due to resistance and armed struggle. These men fought, were killed, but also killed.
Forgotten Transports to Latvia depict the effort to preserve a semblance of normal family life in ghettos and camps. Young people fell in love, danced at clandestine parties, children attended school but on the way to it had to pass by the gallows - life in the shadow of death. The film about deportations to eastern Poland is concerned with the psyche of people permanently on the run, constantly in hiding, who had to continually feign and change identities.
The film on "Poland" is thus a story of the loneliness of individuals who have to joke to survive, "Latvia" is a story of families, "Belarus" of men and "Estonia" of women. Each film is designed to stand on its own but when screened as a series, a certain superstructure becomes apparent, allowing the viewer to compare individual survival strategies, reactions and difficult choices faced by people exposed to ultimate violence.
Employing no commentary or contemporary footage, only true, time-and-place precise images, the director (and political scientist and historian) Lukáš Přibyl documents every word of the witnesses by painstakingly researched visual materials - pictures exchanged for bottles of vodka in Polish villages, found in albums of former SS men and their lovers, fetched from KGB holdings or through film fragments selected in over 1600 hours of footage perused in official archives. The people speaking in the films can thus be seen on images taken almost seventy years ago. From an astonishing story of concentration camp Romeo and Juliet to that of a man locked up in the same prison three times, always under a different identity, this minimalist montage of narrow, personal points of view and never seen materials combines to paint a life-affirming picture of survival through luck, wisdom, ingenuity and sheer will and shows the Holocaust "as we don't know it".

I’m going to start this blog with a confession.
I don’t understand everything about law of attraction. I believe that in order for me to fully grasp this law of the universe, I have to delve deeper inside myself than I have gone before.
Let me explain. You’re practising this LOA stuff and you’re monitoring your thoughts and feelings and everything in your life seems to go swimmingly, and then suddenly you hit an unexpected bump in the road.
That bump in the road means different things to different people. For some it could be as big as losing your job and to others it could be as little as getting in a minor fender bender.
The kind of bump doesn’t matter. In fact, the size of the bump doesn’t matter either because that’s a relative term. To a billionaire a $10K car accident is meaningless, while it could mean the world to someone who’s barely getting by.
Lots of times the bump doesn’t even exist. It’s a fabric of our imagination that comes from the potential outcome of an experience. For example, freaking out after being screened for cancer. You can literally drive yourself crazy with just this one scenario.
Now I’m not minimizing the potential brevity of that experience or any other. Believe me I’ve freaked out plenty in my life.
My point though, is that there seem to be periods in our lives that no matter what we think and how well we feel, something unexpected comes up that we judge as “bad”.
The bigger question is how do we make sense of these bumps, what is the “right” way to deal with them and how “should” we behave when they do happen?
Making sense of it is where I get confused. I mean the law of attraction material is quite straight forward. Think good thoughts, feel good feelings and good will come.
But then why do these bumps happen?
The answers are quite diverse. Including; these bumps are part of the whole process and ultimately it will yield what you want; these bumps are put there to teach you a lesson; the only way to grow is through discomfort and calamities; you subconsciously attracted it in your life; you’re doing law of attraction wrong; these bumps are inevitable; the bump was created through the collective conscious and you got caught up in it; it’s a source of contrast, prompting you to ask for something new in your life; and more.
With so many answers, who knows what the right one is? And this comes back to my confession. I really don’t know the right answer. They all make at least a little bit of sense to me.
But maybe it’s not important to know why the bump happened. I mean, does knowing why solve anything (other than perhaps avoiding them in the future, if that’s even possible or ultimately desirable)?
Maybe it’s more important to accept that it happened (you can’t argue with that) and that you somehow attracted it in your life (assuming you believe in law of attraction, which I do).
In other words, it’s most productive to own the experience. That’s the only way we can move on from it.
And, just as important, we need to determine whether it’s fair to judge the experience at all. If you think about it, we label every experience in our lives. That’s good. This is bad. And I’m indifferent to the other.
But like the billionaire with the $10K accident, it’s all relative. Or in other words, an experience in and of itself has no value, other than the one we assign to it. And we only assign a value to it based on how we feel it’s going to impact our lives moving forward.
If we feel the impact is minimal, we will be indifferent. If we feel the impact will be negative, we’ll judge it as “bad”. If we feel the impact will be positive, we’ll judge it as “good”. It really is as simple as that.
The key words are we feel. What’s happening is we’re looking at something outside ourselves to dictate how we feel. And we do that all the time.
Once I have the relationship, I will feel happy. Once I have the money, I will feel joyful. Once I have the job I will be at peace.
If unexpected expenses come my way, I’ll feel scared. If my partner dumps me, I’ll feel sad. If my boss yells at me, I’ll be angry.
In other words, we freak out because we believe the bump will ultimately lead to a bad outcome, making us feel bad.
The irony is we’re already feeling bad by freaking out. Or to put it another way, our minds are making us feel bad before the potential outcome even happens.
Why? Because how we feel has nothing do with the outside world. It’s the great illusion!
Our feelings are simply a product of our thoughts and beliefs. Meaning it’s an internal trigger based on how we view the world.
Now don’t get me wrong, these triggers have a real impact. If you grew up with the belief that money is scarce and hard to come by, then any experience that threatens your financial wellbeing will cause within you a strong reaction.
But again, it’s not the experience that’s making you feel bad, it’s the perceived risk to your financial well-being that is making you feel bad.
Of course, this may sound like semantics, but understanding the difference is crucial to your personal development.
The understanding that your thoughts and beliefs (not the external event) causes you to freak out puts you in the driver’s seat, because you have the power to change your thoughts and beliefs.
And there are many methods out there to help you do that. But the first step is accepting this undeniable truth. Only then can you move forward.
The problem is, for a lot of people we’re not quite sure what will freak us out in the future because our triggers are buried deep in our subconscious. Meaning we can only work on changing these triggers, once we consciously experience and acknowledge them.
So, this comes back to the original point of this blog. What do you do the next time you freak out?
At the time you’re freaking out, remember that some deeply held belief triggered this reaction and that the power to change it comes from within. Or in other words, it’s much more powerful to change yourself than the external event or even the outcome of the external event.
Honor how you feel. If you’re freaking out, then accept and honor the fact that you’re freaking out. If you deny that you’re freaking out you’re lying to yourself. If you try to supress this feeling you won’t get very far. Take 2 minutes, find a place by yourself, and allow all of those scary feelings to be felt fully. Let it embody you and fully accept it for what it is. In fact, stare into the face of this fear. I know it’s painful and scary to do that, but oftentimes you’ll find that when you stare at it long enough, you’ll find nothing there. In other words, the feeling will naturally dissipate into the ether. Do this step as often as possible.
If the feelings don’t go away on their own, then let the feeling go. Literally visualize yourself placing the feeling in a basket or in a hot air balloon or some sort of item and allow it to float away or place it in the river and let the tide carry it away. Or find another way to let the feeling go. Take a deep breath and consciously release the feelings. And if there is more underneath it then let them go too. Do it as many times as you can until you feel lighter and calmer.
The reason you have to feel calmer prior to step four is because you won’t be able to properly examine your triggers in a heightened state of freaking out. Your mindset is just not in the optimal state.
To round out the process, once you examine your triggers, than you have to do the much deeper work of changing your thoughts and beliefs. Again, there are many resources out there to help you. You can find them with a little bit of effort. And once you do, commit to finding the best resource out there (for you) that you feel will make the biggest difference.
Okay, so that’s it for this post. Now it’s your turn. What are your thoughts on it? Do you have further advice and/or what resources would you recommend to help others with their limiting thoughts and beliefs.

Who do you have in mind when you create content? We all like to imagine we’re creating content for our audiences, but do we really know who our audiences are? Even if we think we know our audiences, are we actually creating content that matches their intent? Creating personas and delivering the right content to engage the right people with your brand is a combination of art, science, and the right data.
Even if you have a lot in common with the people you’re communicating with, the very fact that you’re offering a solution means that you’re no longer a part of the cohort group. By definition, you’ve stopped asking the same questions and you have different pain points.
Now that you aren’t a typical consumer of your own product, you’ve introduced a level of bias and the possibility that the judgment calls you make on your audience’s behalf are flawed.
“The Golden Rule is treating others how you want to be treated and the Platinum Rule is to treat people how they want to be treated. To do that, you need to know how they want to be treated. To know how they want to be treated, you need data that tells you about their habits, preferences, and interactions,” suggests Erin Robbins O’Brien, President at GinzaMetrics.
Getting to know your audience means understanding their positive interactions as well as their negative ones. Creating negative personas helps form a picture of those people who are in the realm of your audience, but aren’t engaging with your brand. Knowing their unique traits and the reasons why your content has not interested them to date will help you craft specific messages designed to attract them to your brand.
When marketers embark on the journey to create audience personas, search data is often overlooked, or at least not the first place we look for audience insights. Search data should be a key component to our persona development because search data allows us to understand how audiences are actually talking about products and services natively. Search data gives us the ability to track the actual words and phrases audiences are using when they’re looking for solutions to their problems without the prompts of paid advertising and other marketing efforts.
The language audiences are using.
Which social channels your audiences prefer.
What’s working for your competitors.
Search data provides a certain granularity of audience preferences not available through other types of data. For instance, you can see how each of your persona groups uses keywords and descriptions differently for the same features or services.
Historically, audience persona profiles have relied heavily on the traits of current customers. The practice is understandable, given the amount of data available when marketers first starting thinking about their audiences as groups of individuals with different needs and desires. Now, relying only on personality traits of those who have already bought your product or signed up to use your service is dangerously close to being completely ineffective and unnecessary, given the amount of data now available to inform persona development.
If you’re creating persona profiles based on the people who are already taking the actions you want them to take, you’re missing out on identifying and targeting audiences who should be engaging with your brand, but aren’t. To understand why certain audiences aren’t completing the buyer journey, create negative personas for those people who came close to becoming customers, but didn’t buy your product or service.
In addition, relying on the habits and preferences of current customers to inform your persona development may mean that you’re only looking at the person who made the final buying decision and ignoring the people who influenced that decision. Before the purchase was made by the C-suite executive who now populates your customer list, someone else in the organization probably provided research and recommendations. Influencer personas represent the audience who is first identifying the problems and challenges and then looking for ways to solve them.
Use search data to gather information about who is influencing the final decision. Find out what they’re searching for, how they’re searching for it, and the content they’re actually engaging with when they search. When you’re looking at audience engagement, you’ll want to see who is choosing your competitors and analyze the types of people who are picking other players in your market.
How do these personas differ from yours?
How does competitor content differ from yours?
Medium – what types of content are attracting potential audiences?
Method – what channels are competitors using?
Message – what are competitors saying?
“When we’re talking about creating personas, we need to know who is already engaging with us, but also how it was that things went wrong or didn’t work with our missed opportunities. Either we aren’t listening very well or we’re focusing on audiences who aren’t very compatible with us and we need to shift our view and expectations,” advises Erin.
If you travel outside your native region of the United States and you don’t understand the colloquialisms and social norms for specific situations, you’re open to responding in a completely inappropriate way and looking out of place. This same concept rings true when you’re creating messaging for your audience. In order to build trust and create a connection, you’ll need to understand how people describe things and what responses they expect. Language differences may vary depending on a variety of factors including region, age, education level, economic status, etc.
Vocabulary choices might be one of the most significant insights you can have into your audience. Use the same words and phrases as your target audience to optimize content to mirror how they’re looking for information or solutions. Search vocabulary should also be used to optimize your paid opportunities for the words and phrases that will most readily connect with your target audiences.
When you create content that matches how your audiences what to be spoken to and uses their own linguistic patterns, they’re much more likely to convert and they’re much more likely to click on your content first.
Consider the vocabulary of your audience in your paid efforts and social media posts and use the words, phrases, and terms that people are already looking for to get your content or to get to your competitor’s content. Discover how competitors are attracting your potential audiences and take traffic from them.
How many personas in your community?
Creating hundreds of personas for your brand can be a mistake. Limiting the number of personas you want to market to makes the process more manageable and allows you to actually create content with those personas in mind.
If you haven’t started creating personas yet, start with two or three. Once you’ve identified them, it will be easier to target them for messaging and for measurement. As you get to know your audiences you may want to identify sub-groups within larger persona groups without over-identifying too many target audiences. Group personas by their commonalities to create a manageable number of audiences for content creation and then divide them up by their differences to measure how well your messaging is working.
There’s nothing wrong with collecting granular data and understanding the specific preferences of lots of people within a persona group but for most of us, we won’t be marketing to each one of them individually. The one exception would be organizations with enough data and enough resources to provide truly personalized content to specific individuals.
Audience personas are a tool marketers use to ensure that the content we create will attract, engage, convert, and delight our audiences. Although personas are not living, breathing people, but rather a conglomeration of traits and preferences, the likes and dislikes, preferences, vocabulary, and search practices of our personas should put a face on the people who will be clicking, or not, on our content, social media posts, or paid advertising slogans. Talk to them as though they are real to show empathy and create trust and engagement.

Start Delivering Smart Connected Documents.
PDF has been the prevailing format for over 20 years. But that doesn’t mean it’s the right format.
Most engineering documents are published, distributed, stored, and shared as static, standalone PDF or Word files. But engineers actually use these documents like data: regularly copying/pasting, and manually rekeying text, tables, graphs, images, and equations into other applications like MS Word, Excel, PLM, and more, with constant references to internal and external content. They search for specific pieces of data to answer questions, fulfill requirements, and get them to the next step in their workflow.
PDF makes these tasks difficult, time-consuming, and even risky since engineers are copying and rekeying static information that doesn’t get updated from the source. Using outdated or inconsistent data in the supply chain causes mission-critical slowdowns, rework, and compliance issues. PDFS are “zombies”: dead-text documents that can come back to haunt you later.
A 21st century solution is needed. SWISS is what’s next.
SWISS turns PDF, Word, and other static documents into interoperable, actionable data that integrates seamlessly with engineering workflow applications. SWISS is a live linked-data platform that dynamically maps relationships across documents created by authoritative members of the SWISS community. So ASTM documents “talk” to ASME, which talk to SAE, which talk to Boeing and other OEMs, which talk back to ASTM.
Want to learn more about SWISS and see it in action?

6168 South 1300 East - Murray, Ut.
Mini-retreats, day-retreats or multi-day retreats - I love knowing my participants leave with a renewed energy for life!
Join me Tuesday evenings at the beautiful Awaken Studios for my nurturing, healing restorative yoga class at 7:15 PM. If you’ve never treated yourself to restorative yoga, now is the time - you’ll never sleep so good!
"I am so thrilled about this yoga restore class! Even if the feedback wasn’t required, I would still write and let you know how much we enjoyed it. Cynthia is such a knowledgable and capable teacher that I would dare say that it was one of the best classes that I have ever attended!
My daughter Bailey and I attended the yoga restore class last night, and from the moment we entered the room, there was a feeling of support and acceptance. Cynthia greeted us warmly as we entered, and really took time to get to know our needs, and offered props and also oils. She even remembered both our names when we were leaving.
We loved the imagery she created with her words, her adjustments, and her overall attitude of respect. We are excited to go again, and are seriously considering seeing her as a life coach as well!
"Last night's class was very helpful. I wanted to let you know that it already had a beneficial result. I slept 7 hours straight which is highly unusual for me. I think that a restorative class is a good way for me to end the day, as it puts me a very relaxed state of mind and body. I am definitely planning on returning.
Thanks again Cynthia, for your help and encouragement!"
"It is truly amazing how your classes help me to slow down and get clear. I do not do as well getting to that place on my own and when I leave your class I feel elated, that’s why I keep coming back! I’m so happy to have you and your practice in my life."

Though ASP.NET Web Forms isn’t part of the vNext initiative it isn’t being ignored. As part of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 it has picked up some new tooling, EF integration, and Roslyn support.
ASP.NET doesn't provide support for comma delimited cookies. However, you can use comma character by creating a parser tool. Why reinvent the wheel when Keyvan Nayyeri has created a tool for this purpose.
Navigation is a library that makes ASP.NET Web Forms more testable by moving the CRUD logic out of the codebehind files. Graham Mendick’s article “Unit Testing in the Navigation..” explores some of the features and how unit tests can be written.
With the release of .NET 4.5 nearing, Microsoft has started to pull back the curtain on the next version of their development platform. While there has been a lot of fanfare around Metro and Windows 8, the improvements made to the core features of .NET, which have traditionally focused on web, service, and data development, may steal the show in the short term.
When it comes to performance developers often need to turn to partial page caching. This report looks at the current state of caching in ASP.NET and introduces a new project for MVC 3 called MvcDonutCaching.
A General Distribution Release of .NET 4 was published on the 11th of June. This includes numerous fixes and features, many of which were previously published as individual hot fixes. There are also updates to the HTML 5 and portable library support. For your convenience we have sorted the fix list by technology. For the complete list, including file versions, see KB 2468871.
Asynchronous programming is all the range these days and for good reason, when properly used it can significantly improve the throughput of I/O bound applications. And while some may think this of the realm of new and esoteric languages, even Web Forms is getting in on the game.
Despite claims of its death, ASP.NET Web Forms is still a very popular framework and Microsoft is continuing to invest heavily in it. Web Forms vNext offers significant improvements in several areas including strongly typed, two-way data binding.

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t can be said that the new year began well for Kanakadurga, 42, and Bindu, 44 who after over three months of the Supreme Court’s ban lift on entry of women of menstrual age inside Kerala’s Sabarimala Temple, entered the hilltop shrine to offer prayers for the first time.
However, soon after, the temple was closed for purification rituals, ANI reported. Kanakadurga and Bindu claimed that they had entered the holy shrine of Lord Ayyappa early on Wednesday morning. They made efforts to enter the shrine in December but had to return due to protests.
As per news reports, the women trekked to the hill shrine early on Wednesday. A video shared on Twitter by ANI showed them entering the shrine, wearing black clothes, with their heads covered. The women started their climb around midnight and entered the temple around 3.45 am on Wednesday, escorted by police personnel.
Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan confirmed that two women entered the Sabarimala Temple. “We had issued standing orders to police to provide all possible protection to any woman who wants to enter the temple,” he was quoted as saying by ANI.
Bindu, a college lecturer and CPI(ML) activist from Kozhikode district’s Koyilandy, and Kanakadurga, a civil supplies employee from Angadipuram in Malappuram, had come to Sabarimala on December 24, when 11 women activists of a Chennai-based outfit were prevented from reaching the shrine and chased away by devotees chanting Ayyappa mantras.
The temple was opened again on December 30 for the Makaravillaku festival and there has been a heavy rush of pilgrims.
Sabarimala temple had witnessed protests from devotees over the entry of women between the 10-50 age group in the shrine after the government decided to implement Supreme Court’s order allowing women of all age to offer prayers there.
This comes a day after over 35 lakh women created a 620 km-long human ‘wall’ as part of a state-sponsored initiative to uphold gender equality amid Sabarimala controversy. The women, on Tuesday, stood shoulder-to-shoulder across the national highways in Kerala from the northern end of Kasaragod to the southern tip here Tuesday as part of a state-sponsored initiative to uphold gender equality.
On Monday, thousands of devotees lit ‘Ayyappa Jyothis’ (lighting of sacred lamps) and lined up from Hosangadi in Kasaragod to Kanyakumari, vowing to protect the age-old customs and traditions of Sabarimala.
An outfit of Kerala’s forward Nair community has said it would go to any extent to protect the customs of the Lord Ayyappa temple. Accusing Kerala CM of trying to destroy the centuries old traditions and customs of the Sabarimala temple, the outfit’s general secretary G Sukumaran Nair said that the attempts made to crush the faith of the people would not succeed.

the “Yellow Peril”, strongly referring to the last World War (for instance Jacobs Blake et Mortimer, Le Secret de l’espadon, Hubinon & Troisfontaines, Charlier Buck Danny, Les Japs attaquent). Usually these comics were drawn in a more realistic style.
the “touristic ancient or exotic Japan” without any reference to WWII (for instance Vandersteen Suske en Wiske, De Stemmenrover, Will & Rosy Tif et Tondu, Le Fantôme du samouraï). Usually comics of this approach combine adventure and humour.

With less than a month to go before the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon on November 4, the hard yards are pretty much behind those who are training. Well, aside from running the actual race, of course.
With training distances petering out, the focus turns to preparation for the race itself. What to wear? What to eat? How will I find my friends? Here’s some guidance that I found useful, with one big caveat: everyone and every body is different. So it’s all about finding what works for you!
You are going to be running for several hours and the last thing you want is for chaffing or blisters to be your pitfall. The best piece of advice? Race day is not the time to wear a new pair of sneakers or a different brand of sports bra. If you want to try something new, purchase it ASAP (like, today!) and then give it a few test runs over the next four weeks.
Weather for the first Sunday in November is notoriously unpredictable. The poor souls running in 2014 were treated to a bitterly cold day with gale-force winds. In 2016 it was clear skies and a balmy 20 degrees. Last year it was grey and drizzly. So you’ll need a few options ready for these possibilities. Layers are a great way of countering a cold morning followed by a warm afternoon. Don’t forget your running bib will need to be on display the whole race, so your best bet is to attach it to your leg so that taking off your top layer doesn’t involve unpinning and repining your bib.
The morning of the race you’ll spend a few hours waiting on Staten Island before you start running. There is very little shelter and you’re basically just left to sit on the ground. So, bring extra layers for this time, maybe even a blanket to sit on or under. You won’t be able to run with it, but there are charity bins at the start line that you can leave items in. With winter approaching, homeless New Yorkers will greatly appreciate the extra warmth.
For me, one of the best things about long distance running, is the no-holds-barred carbo-loading that comes with it! You can down the most calorific of meals, guilt-free because you earned it!
Similar to the advice above on clothing, race day is not the time to try a new dish. A creamy bowl of pasta might sound delicious, but if it disagrees with your belly you may have a bad night’s sleep or, worse, need to use the port-a-loos along the route. A low GI, balanced meal the night before (that you have tested out previously) is going to help you get across that finish line. Brown rice, whole grains, leafy greens and some nutritious carbs like sweet potatoes are great. Once the race is over, that’s when you should opt for the fettuccini carbonarra!
Race morning, take some small snacks with you for the wait on Staten Island. A healthy muesli bar, banana or some nuts are a great option. Hydrate, but don’t go crazy – there aren’t many places to stop to use the bathrooms along the way.
According to the official rulebook, runners are permitted to wear headphones during the race. The NY Road Runner organizing body, however, strongly encourages you not to. It’s safer for one, as you are more alert to what’s going on around you, and it’s a way to really soak up the atmosphere.
But…for me, running with music is a must. I keep the volume nice and low so I can still hear what’s going on around me, but the music is a big motivating force I can’t do without.
If you do decide to run with music, you should plan to have a playlist that lasts about 5 hours and make sure it is music you like – playing around with your phone to change tracks is distracting.
In 2016, as part of my plea for charity donations, I gave my donors the option to choose songs on my running list. I didn’t listen to the playlist until the day of the race and it was such a fun, surprising selection of music. I highly recommend crowdsourcing your friends for music choices! In fact, I’m taking suggestions for my 2018 playlist right now. Please check it out on Spotify and add your tracks!
Whether you’re running the marathon or attending as a spectator to cheer on your friends or family, planning is key. Over a million people turn out to cheer on the 80,000 runners, so if you’re not ready you may miss each other.
Let your runner know in advance where you will be cheering them on (and then stick to it). That way they will know when to keep an eye out for you rather than madly scanning the crowd, which can be distracting and emotionally draining.
As a runner, let your fans know which side of the road you will try to run on. This will make it a lot easier for them to find you.
You should also consider writing your name on your running top. Of the million people out to cheer on the crowd, many of them don’t have someone specific in mind, they’re just there to cheer and they will cheer your name loudly, boosting your confidence and spirits!

Ultimately, the race day is the culmination of all your hard work and determination. Whatever happens will happen. All you can do is be as prepared as possible and then enjoy yourself. Soak up the atmosphere. Take pride in what you’ve achieved. And savour the experience of being in the impressive group of people running the New York City Marathon!
On behalf of AWNY, we wish Julia all the very best for race day on November 4. We know how hard you have been training to prepare and we are so impressed with your stamina and determination. Have you’ve been following Julia’s NYC Marathon Tips column? You can send her some words of encouragement in the comments section below.
What a cool idea to have people send suggestions for your playlist. Maybe, I’ll do the same. One additional tip if you are a music fiend, purchase a phone case that also serves as an external battery. I like to have my iPhone-carrying friends track me via the Find my Friends app.
Glad you like Julia’s idea and thanks for your suggestion.

These are really easy to make – just mix everything together, whack them in the freezer and you’ve got a handy, healthy snack for when the hunger pangs get too much. Feel free to adapt the recipe as you like. You can use all dates instead of adding other dried fruit or stir in a couple of spoonfuls of cocoa powder if you fancy something a bit chocolatey. Yum!
Line a 20cm square baking tin with cling film.
Put the nuts in a food processor and blitz them for a second or two until they’re roughly chopped. Tip them into a bowl and set aside.
Put the dried fruit in the food processor and pulse until the fruit has broken down into a sticky mass, stopping to push the mixture down regularly. If your processor is struggling to cope, add orange juice very gradually, to help – you shouldn’t need much of it.
Mix the porridge oats and dessicated coconut together with the cinnamon, if using. Add this to the mixture a third at a time, continuing to pulse and push the mixture down, until everything is combined. Add the seeds and the chopped nuts at the end and pulse a couple of times to combine rather than break the mixture up further.
Press the mixture into the prepared tin as evenly as you can, making sure it gets pushed well into the corners, then pop it in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until firm. Remove from the freezer and cut into 20 squares, then store in the fridge until needed.

I have a 2002 Aztek and my odometer light is out, along with the gear shifter light, and tachometer light. Are these all in a cluster? Also, every once in a while after I hit a bump, my AWD Disableed and ABS light comes on.
The odo out is a cluster fault since that has a digital dash. The shifter light and tach light are likely to be bulbs, one in the cluster and one in the console. The ABS issue is more than likely a wheel speed sensor harness issue, they tend to break the wires right where the control arms pivot. You need to have the ABS scanned and that will point you to which sensor is being effected. Then you just wiggle the wire at that wheel and see if the light comes on.

AKJV(i) 1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. 3 Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Trust you not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor; 6 If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 8 Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, said the LORD. 12 But go you now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these works, said the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you heard not; and I called you, but you answered not; 14 Therefore will I do to this house, which is called by my name, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim. 16 Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear you. 17 See you not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19 Do they provoke me to anger? said the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 20 Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. 21 Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22 For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk you in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you. 24 But they listened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: 26 Yet they listened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. 27 Therefore you shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you. 28 But you shall say to them, This is a nation that obeys not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receives correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. 29 Cut off your hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. 30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, said the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. 31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. 32 Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. 33 And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. 34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
Jeremiah 7:1 Jeremiah is sent to call to true repentance, to prevent the Jews' captivity.
Jeremiah 7:12 by the example of Shiloh.
Jeremiah 7:17 He threatens them for their idolatry.
Jeremiah 7:21 He rejects the sacrifices of the disobedient.

Give Olive specific instructions about how you want your eyebrows done for the best results.
I've been going to Geetanjali for quick blow drys given its proximity to my office. I Tried their threading services for the first time, and discovered that Olive, who works here, is awesome. I have really thin eyebrows and have been trying to grow them out for a while. She got the thickness and shape right - which is a rarity!

The IRS has issued proposed regulations (REG-103033-11) that would provide guidance on the application of the failure to disclose a reportable transaction penalty found in IRC §6707A.
Generally a taxpayer who participates in a reportable transaction must disclose such participation on any return affected by the transaction in question under IRC §6011. A taxpayer who fails to make such a required disclosure (generally on a Form 8886) is subject to a penalty.
In 2010 the penalty rules were modified. Generally the penalty is equal to 75% of the decrease in tax that takes place on the return for which disclosure was not made, subject to a minimum and maximum amount. For a natural person the minimum penalty is $5,000, while the maximum penalty is $10,000 unless the transaction is a listed transaction in which case the maximum rises to $100,000.
For other taxpayers the minimum is set at $10,000, with the maximum penalty capped at $50,000 unless the transaction is a listed transaction in which case the maximum rises to $200,000.
The regulations that are currently in place do not address the 2010 law changes, so these regulations would update the regulations to reflect the law as it currently stands rather than as it was originally enacted in 2004.
The proposed regulations define this decrease in tax generally as the difference between the amount of tax reported on the return as filed and the amount of tax that would be reported on a hypothetical return where the taxpayer did not participate in the reportable transaction. The amount of tax shown on the hypothetical return will reflect adjustments that result mechanically from backing out the reportable transaction, such as tax items affected by an increase in adjusted gross income resulting from non-participation in the reportable transaction.
The proposed regulations also have a provision to deal with a situation where a taxpayer, by entering into what is found to be a prohibited transaction, may be found to owe more tax than if the transaction had not entered into—specifically penalties for excess contributions to retirement accounts.
In some situations, a taxpayer's participation in a listed transaction creates a liability for a tax that would not exist absent participation in the transaction. For example, a taxpayer engaging in a listed abusive Roth IRA transaction may be subject to an excise tax on excess IRA contributions. If the taxpayer fails to report the excise tax on his excess IRA contributions, this amount of tax would not appear on the return filed by the taxpayer that reflected his participation in the reportable transaction. The excise tax would also not appear on a return filed by the taxpayer if he had not engaged in the transaction, because there would be no excess contribution on which excise tax would be imposed. Therefore, the difference between these two returns would result in no decrease in tax attributable to the unreported tax. To capture this tax, the proposed regulations include in the definition of the decrease in tax "any other tax that results from participation in the reportable transaction but was not reported on the taxpayer's return."
Example 1. Taxpayer X, a natural person, filed a return reflecting participation in an abusive Roth IRA transaction listed in Notice 2004-8, 2004-1 I.R.B. 333 (Jan. 26, 2004). As described in the notice, X's Roth IRA acquired shares of a wholly owned corporation and then X sold assets to the corporation at less than fair market value, effectively transferring value to the corporation comparable to a contribution to the Roth IRA. X failed to disclose his participation in the listed transaction as required by the regulations under section 6011. As a result of the transaction, X was liable under section 4973 for a $10,000 excise tax for excess contributions to his Roth IRA. On his return, X correctly reported $25,000 of income tax, none of which was attributable to the listed transaction, but failed to report the excise tax. If X had not participated in the listed transaction, the excise tax under section 4973 would not have applied and his income tax would have remained $25,000. There would, therefore, be no difference between the tax on his return as filed and the tax on his return if it did not reflect participation in the transaction. The excise tax, however, is another tax that resulted from participation in the transaction but was not reported on X's return, as described in paragraph (d)(1)(i)(B) of this section. Therefore, the decrease in tax resulting from the listed transaction is $10,000, which amount is the sum of zero (the excess of the amount of tax that would be shown on X's return if the return did not reflect X's participation in the transaction over the tax X actually reported on the return reflecting X's participation in the transaction) and $10,000 (the amount of excise tax that resulted from participation in the transaction but was not reported on the return). The amount of the penalty will be $7,500, which amount is 75 percent of the $10,000 decrease in tax.
Special rules apply to disclosures when a transaction is identified as a listed transaction after the taxpayer has filed the return but before the statute of limitations has run. In such a case the taxpayer is allowed, pursuant to Reg. §1.6011-4, to file a single disclosure covering all of the years affected.
Under §1.6011-4, the taxpayer may use a single disclosure statement to disclose multiple years of participation in a reportable transaction. Because the taxpayer in these cases is permitted to disclose multiple years of participation on a single statement, the taxpayer's failure to complete and submit the disclosure statement properly will result in no more than one penalty under section 6707A. The proposed regulations provide, however, that the amount of that penalty will be determined by taking into account the aggregate decrease in tax shown on all of the returns for which disclosure was not provided. Accordingly, under the proposed regulations, the decrease in tax will be determined separately for each year of participation for which only a single disclosure statement was required and the amount of the penalty will be 75 percent of the aggregate decrease in tax in all years for which disclosure was required, subject to the minimum and maximum penalty amount limitations.
Section 6707A(e) generally requires certain taxpayers who must pay penalties under sections 6707A, 6662A(accuracy-related penalty on understatements with respect to reportable transactions), or 6662(h) (accuracy-related penalty on underpayments attributable to gross valuation misstatements) to disclose their liability for these penalties in filings with the SEC. The flush language of section 6707A(e) provides that "[f]ailure to make a disclosure in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be treated as a failure to which the penalty under subsection (b)(2) applies." However, as discussed in the Background section of this preamble, subsection (b)(2) was amended in 2010. Prior to enactment of the Jobs Act, section 6707A(b)(2) provided that the amount of the penalty for failure to disclose participation in a listed transaction was $100,000 for natural persons and $200,000 in any other case. After the 2010 amendments, section 6707A(b)(2) now provides that "[t]he amount of the penalty under subsection (a) with respect to any reportable transaction shall not exceed -- (A) in the case of a listed transaction, $200,000 ($100,000 in the case of a natural person), or (B) in the case of any other reportable transaction, $50,000 ($10,000 in the case of a natural person)."
Treasury and the Service do not believe that Congress intended its reference to subsection (b)(2) to impose the maximum penalty on violations of section 6707A(e). This would be contrary to the purpose of the 2010 amendments to section 6707A, which sought to make the penalty proportionate to the tax benefit derived by the transaction. A reference solely to subsection (b)(2) does not make sense in terms of describing the amount of the penalty, as subsection (b)(2) merely caps the amount of the penalty that can be imposed on a failure to disclose and does not provide a particular amount for the penalty. It seems likely that the intent was to reference the amount of the penalty generally under subsection (b). The proposed regulations clarify this point.
In each case giving rise to an obligation to disclose liability in filings with the SEC, there must be a reportable transaction for the relevant penalty to arise. The amount of the penalty for a violation of section 6707A(e), therefore, will be 75 percent of the decrease in tax, as provided in section 6707A(b). In addition to being consistent with the language of section 6707A(e), the proposed regulations are also consistent with the Congressional intent of the 2010 amendments to section 6707A to render proportionality between the amount of the penalty and the tax benefit derived from the reportable transaction. See JCS-2-11.
Pursuant to section 6707A(b)(2), "[t]he amount of the penalty under subsection (a) with respect to any reportable transaction shall not exceed" certain specified dollar values. Likewise, under section 6707A(b)(3), "[t]he amount of the penalty under subsection (a) with respect to any transaction shall not be less than" certain specified dollar values. Under the proposed regulations, these minimum and maximum limits on the amount of the penalty would be applied separately to each individual penalty under section 6707A(a). The limitations in sections 6707A(b)(2) and (3) apply expressly to "[t]he amount of the penalty under subsection (a)." Because, as provided in §301.6707A-1(c), each separate failure to disclose a reportable transaction gives rise to a new penalty under section 6707A(a), the minimum and maximum limits on the amount of the penalty apply separately to each failure to disclose.
The regulations would apply to penalties assessed after the day they are are published as final regulations. However, for portions where the current regulations no longer describe the law that exists today, advisers likely can assume these regulations reflect positions the IRS will be likely to assert when assessing such a penalty.

The competition for Emmy Awards has never been fiercer, with streaming services like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu having joined the fray. Yet in terms of total nominations, practically nothing in TV appears more unshakeable than HBO's grip on the Iron Throne.
Why? Because unlike most premium rivals, the pay channel aggressively and strategically vies for prestige in a wide variety of genres where others don't.
The 2016 nominations will be announced Thursday, and plenty of networks will be sitting on pins and needles. Channels like USA ("Mr. Robot") and Lifetime ("UnREAL") are hoping to achieve breakthroughs in key categories, joining the roster of usual suspects.
Even so, HBO looks poised to cobble together another big haul, if not perhaps matching the record 126 Emmy nominations it amassed last year, which exceeded the next three networks (ABC finished second, with 42) combined.
As with anything involving Hollywood and awards, ego is involved. But it's not just about validation for HBO; the prestige that comes with Emmys and Golden Globes also plays into HBO's business model, helping brand the network as a premium, must-have item in the eyes of subscribers.
In addition, the promise of earning such recognition offers advantages when seeking to attract top talent, especially those stars who might still harbor lingering misgivings about committing their time to television. And those big names feed back, naturally, into HBO's patina of quality.
Despite the entrance of new players, and heightened ambitions from Showtime, Starz and Netflix, HBO has been the most-nominated network every year since 2001.
While HBO figures to earn ample recognition for series -- including "Game of Thrones" and "Veep," part of an Emmy sweep of top categories last year -- it also invariably makes a sizable dent in made-for-TV movies, specials and documentaries.
Specifically, the network (which is, like CNN, a unit of Time Warner (TWX)) is expected to garner multiple nominations for two historical films: "All the Way," starring Bryan Cranston as Lyndon Johnson; and "Confirmation," with Kerry Washington and Wendell Pierce in the roles of Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas.
In addition, Beyonce's much-buzzed-about visual album, "Lemonade," is entered in the variety special category.
Although HBO no longer uses the slogan "It's not TV. It's HBO," the "most-honored network" claim still helps in setting itself apart from the TV crowd. As a consequence, it's a crown the channel won't be eager to relinquish any time soon.

"Electricity of participation" indeed. So, we are back to the birds and the bees, not this time to learn how our species propagates, but to learn how birds, bees, wolves . . . and humans like to be part of communities and contribute to them. I find it truly fascinating that far from being, as I thought, a mere exercise in "narcissism", blogging ends up being a primal, noble - even altruistic -- experience, showing humanity at its very best.

I can't find an entry for eastern time, usually boards will have an entry like "eastern time" or "new york". I set it to Atikokan which is in Canada and according to wikipedia unofficially observes eastern standard time all year round. Basically I would like a time entry that automatically adjusts for daylight saving time because I logged in just now and the timestamps were off by an hour and I realize what happened is my timezone is set to -4 but it should be -5 since EST is in effect now instead of EDT.
Logged in users set their timezone during registration and can change it in their user control panel.
Once you select the desired time zone, you can pick the location that you want. For example, mine is set to UTC -05 - America/New York.
If you were using UTC -04, you should have received a suggestion next to your time zone to switch to -05.

By martinm, in Measures and New stuff, march 06,2015.
This week, we present the newest module in the range of Yoctopuce temperature sensors: the Yocto-MaxiThermistor. The ideal product if you need to measure temperature at several locations.
The Yocto-MaxiThermistor is a double-width module with six inputs to which you can connect the thermistors of your choice.
Thermistors are resistances with a resistivity that changes significantly depending on the temperature. There are two main families of thermistors: NTC and PTC. The Yocto-MaxiThermistor can manage both. Each thermistor model has its own characteristics, usually described in its technical specifications. These characteristics are presented either as a temperature/resistance table, or as a β coefficient and a reference value. The Yocto-MaxiThermistor works with the two models.
The Yocto-MaxiThermistor is an insulated module: the measuring part is electrically insulated from the USB bus. You can thus measure the temperature of objects even if their electric potential is different than that of the controlling computer.
For you to easily test the Yocto-MaxiThermistor, it is delivered with six tiny Murata NTC NXFT15XH103 thermistors. You can find their characteristics in the Yocto-MaxiThermistor documentation. Note that these thermistors are mounted on wires that are 10cm long. You might need to extend them.
The Yocto-Thermistor-C is a variant of the Yocto-MaxiThermistor. Both modules are strictly identical with the exception of the connector. While the Yocto-MaxiThermistor offers six contact pairs to connect the 6 thermistors, the Yocto-Thermistor-C offers six single contacts and a common contact. This enables you to use wires with a larger section.
Thermistors are far from being a technology as accurate as PT100. In particular, for a same model, each thermistor is slightly different and the length of the connecting wire may have a slight influence. If you use a thermistor without calibrating it first, fully trusting the parameters provided in the specifications, accuracy depends mostly of the thermistor model, but even with a good thermistor, don't expect an absolute accuracy better than 0.5 degree, 1%. However, if you carefully calibrate each input to specifically adapt it to the thermistor connected to it, you can hope for an accuracy of 0.1 degree.
The Yocto-MaxiThermistor allows you to easily measure temperature in six different locations. In terms of cost per measuring point, it's clearly the cheapest of the Yoctopuce range, all of it in a 5 by 6 centimeter module.
@ultrasonix : There is no proper apps provided with our products: only programming samples and a few demos. We provide the hardware + the programming API and customers are supposed to write the app fitting their need. That being said we do have partners specialized in writing professional software for our products, contact support for more info.
Regarding the Yocto-Thermistor, you can use any NTC or PTC thermistor from 1kΩ to 500KΩ: it's just a matter of configuring the Yocto-Thermistor properly. Each channel in independent, so you can even use different kind of thermistor on each channel.

IE Standard is a series of structured paper-and-pencil exercises that gradually increase in levels of difficulty and abstraction. The materials are organised into workbooks called “instruments” and each instrument focuses on a specific cognitive area such as analytic perception, comparison, classification, orientation in space and time, and so on. They may include verbal, mathematical, logical and even emotional skills, depending upon the needs of the learner. Learners are guided through the tasks by a mediator who helps them develop strategies for problem solving and analytic thinking that they can then carry on into the rest of their lives.
IE Standard can be used in a classroom or workplace setting, with small groups of targeted learners, and as a one-to-one therapeutic intervention.
IE Standard consists of 14 instruments in all.
Divided into three parts: IE-1 [of 3], IE-2 [of 3], IE-3 [of 3].
This course is designed for those working with students age approximately 9 years up in mainstream or special education.
Comprehensive instruction in the use of the following 4 IE instruments: Organisation of Dots; Comparisons; Analytic Perception; Orientation in Space I.
Course participants will receive a set of 4 IE instruments, a booklet of Teaching Diagrams and additional handouts for the course.
Course participants will be awarded a Certificate of Instrumental Enrichment Mediator Level 1 (of 3) upon successful completion of the entire course requirements.
