When Maria Hines was named one of the top new chefs in the country by Food and Wine magazine, she used that momentum to open her first restaurant, Tilth, the celebrated New American spot in a little Craftsman house in Wallingford.
When Hines — by then a James Beard award winner — beat out Iron Chef Morimoto in a cooking competition on national TV, she proceeded to open Golden Beetle, her more casual Eastern Mediterranean spot in Ballard.
Now, “nothing big has happened, but I’ve really grown fond of being a restaurant operator, a chef-owner,” Hines said — and she’s planning a third new restaurant. If all goes well, Agrodolce, a Southern Italian restaurant with an emphasis on Sicilian cuisine, will open in Fremont as early as late January or February. She’s in negotiations now to take over the most emotionally loaded restaurant spot in the neighborhood, the building currently housing the 35th Street Kitchen + Bar (709 N. 35th St.) — a well-liked neighborhood landmark that old-timers still remember as the home of the beloved hangout the Still Life Cafe.
“I lived in Fremont for five years, and I’m a hippie. Of course I need a restaurant in the Center of the Universe! You just couldn’t have a better location,” Hines said.
They’re flavors that she loves — she’s trying her best to fit in a tasting trip to Sicily to help develop the menu, as she did with an Eastern Mediterannean tour before opening Golden Beetle.
When she heard the 35th Street space was available (the restaurant is open, but was listed for sale) she jumped at the opportunity, and said she is working with owner Michelle Citarello and the landlords to hopefully make the change. She’ll know by next week if all the details work out.
Will it be hard for her to divide her attention and cooking time between three properties, even ones that are reasonably close together?
“I wouldn’t open up a place without having a management team ready to go. I have a management team ready to go,” she said.

Today I read through the latest edition of Sunset Magazine. This issue spotlights California and all the vacation destination locations. However, Sunset Magazine failed to note the towns in the Gold Country between Auburn and Tahoe.
The towns and communities above Auburn on the way to Truckee and Tahoe are well worth visiting. They are the heart of the Gold Country. Grass Valley, Nevada City and Colfax make up a triangle of High Sierra Gold Country communities. Each of these three towns began as mining towns and still prize their unique heritage.
Today, small businesses and high tech reign. Nevada City is home to award-winning leading companies in video/film technology as well as numerous 19th and early 20th Century-style B&Bs that give the visitor a taste of the old Victorian West without losing any of the modern conveniences of the 21st Century. Broad Street, Nevada City’s main street, is also home to some of the best restaurants north of San Francisco.
Grass Valley is much larger than Nevada City but still retains its unique heritage. The shops meander off the main Highway 49 exit and are definitely well worth stopping to visit. The restaurants, like those in Nevada City, specialize in fresh, local, organic produce, meats and artisan products. The numerous farmers in this area grow a wide variety of organic agricultural products which are marketed to the local restaurants and markets as well as to the public in the many farmers’ markets that serve the entire area.
Historic downtown Grass Valley hosts an historic Victorian hotel, the Holbrooke, that began operating in 1852 and still exudes the flavor of the gold mining era while serving modern California cuisine. A few miles east on Interstate 80 at State Highway 174 is Colfax. The current economy has not been as kind to Colfax as it has been to Grass Valley and Nevada City. Nevertheless, Colfax is worth visiting, especially if you’re a wine aficionado. The north counties have a surprisingly plentiful number of wineries that specialize in cold country wines, including a much hailed ice wine. And Colfax has the wine bar to taste them all.
There are a number of other small communities above Auburn, including Truckee and Lincoln, that Sunset Magazine failed to feature in its special insert. Even in the rest of the magazine, this area remains totally forgotten; yet, of all of the Sierra communities, these are the best of the best…and well worth visiting.
So, the next time you’re looking to take a trip, take a look at the towns north of Auburn. Oh, did I forget to mention that the Yuba River runs just a few miles from Nevada City? Or the many State parks and camping areas that dot this landscape? There’s fun for the whole family…or just a romantic getaway for the two of you…in Nevada and northern Placer counties just waiting for you.

When introverted albino teen Ana Samuels moves to a tiny town in the rainy PNW, she expects to be wet, lonely, and miserable—and she is. What she doesn't expect is to fall for James, an adorably awkward deaf boy, or to find an enchanted violin in her attic, one that offers her a mysterious gift if she can play it. As an accomplished fiddle player, Ana is convinced this will be easy: play the violin, receive the gift, fix her life—too bad the damn thing shocks the hell out of her every time she tries.
Instead of trying to fit in at her new school, Ana focuses all her attention on trying to play the violin. Each failed attempt drives her obsession. Her previously perfect grades take a nosedive, and her blossoming romance with James threatens to crumble. Then the side effects begin. If Ana waits too long between attempts, she experiences severe headaches and bouts of inexplicable itching, which are relieved only by touching the violin again. Now she's trapped. She can't play, but she can't stop trying. As Ana's obsession continues to grow, her grasp on reality wavers. And if that's not bad enough, Ana discovers the magical offer has a rapidly approaching expiration date. She must hurry and find a way to endure the magic long enough to play before time runs out, or the violin's gift won't be all she loses.
Sweat dripped down the back of my neck beneath the weight of my blue curls. I swear it was hot enough to melt the lips off a chicken. A vision of a plump hen with liquefying lips flitted through my mind. I smiled at the ridiculous image. Clearly, the desert sun had finally fricasseed my brain.
I slid deeper into the shade of our old willow tree, careful to keep my pale, melanin-free skin under cover. As far as I could determine, the only positive feature of our impending move to the rainy and miserable Pacific Northwest was the promise of cooler temperatures.
After spending the morning helping my parents do a final sweep of our house, searching through closets and empty rooms for forgotten items, I'd escaped outside. Despite the heat, I needed to get away from the memories that pulled at me from every corner.
I leaned against the tree and opened my book, trying to lose myself in the magic of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. I read for a few minutes, then the words began to dance and blur. The world around me hushed and became silent.
I’m sitting on a dirty, wooden floor. A dim light filters in through the two stained glass windows at each end of the long narrow room. Thick wooden beams run overhead. There is a roof, but no actual ceiling.
The air is cool and musty with a hint of something more unpleasant. It catches at the back of my throat and I sneeze.
I like the query, but I feel like it leaves me with more questions than answers. It has two story lines but there doesn’t feel like they are connected. I mention it because the novel is pretty short (even YA contemporary is typically 65K and that doesn’t usually also have the fantastical elements to explain). If they are completely disparate, then it’s fine, but if they are connected, I’d like to see more of a connection in the query letter.
I’m also worried that this is going to be one of those “cure the disabled person” stories because we have a violin that’s magical and a deaf boyfriend. If that isn’t the case, maybe mention the conflict of learning to love someone who can’t share such an important part of her life, or mention how he shares that part of her life. This feels like a big piece of their puzzle that’s missing especially since there’s a magical violin in the picture. Again, feel free to ignore this if none of it plays into your story.
I always laugh at the chicken lips anything, so I hope you were trying to infuse some humor there.
When you talk about the desert and the Pacific Northwest, I want some details. I’ve lived in both, and they’re WAY more diverse than seems reasonable. Sometimes, for instance, the deserts of the Southwest are so dry that you can have sweat dripping on your face, and lips so dry they’ve split, so when the sweat hits your lips, it burns from the salt (no joke), and it can be so humid (I’m looking at you Phoenix) that even the wind doesn’t evaporate the sweat off the skin. It’s like walking through a shower portion of a locker room. Willows only last near water sources, and all the other trees are cottonwoods and pines (Albuquerque, phoenix, Tucson—though, in Tucson it’s probably a palo verde tree—and everything else isn’t tall enough to call a tree). In short, without some real details here, I’m worried this character is in a dreamt up desert. But, I digress, I only pick on this because of my time in these regions (I did all of my graduate studies in the Southwest across these deserts), but if it’s important to your story, firm it up and support it with some details. Lawns are common in Phoenix—verboten in Albuquerque—etc. and a Willow as part of a lawn is possible in the desert, but I miss the detail of the lawn (and in Albuquerque, talk about the ever present goat’s head weed). I only mention this because the US Southwest is not a monolith and has many different flavors depending on where someone is.
I’m also worried about a scene change before we’ve hit the end of the first 250 words. Consider grounding your reader somewhere before letting your MC drift into another world. To be clear, this is personal preference. I like to understand a character before I have other POVs given to me. It makes me concerned that the start isn’t in the right spot.
Just my two pennies, feel free to disregard as you see fit.
#TeamRarity Kathy dropping by! My comments are my opinions only. Please take what helps and ignore the rest.
CONTEMPORARY WITH ELEMENTS OF MAGIC... So, Magical Realism?
I am intrigued! However...what does she want? What does she think will happen when she plays the violin...what does she want to happen? What is driving her to play? What is the gift? Has she just assumed it will be one thing...the thing she wants? Does she ever fear it won't be what she wants? Is she so desperate to get the gift, that it in the end doesn't matter what it is? Then it just becomes an obsession? How does the obsession theme fit into the story? How is James involved?
I’m sitting on a dirty, wooden floor. (Okay...what happened? She asleep and dreaming? Is this a vision? Did she transport herself? If it is the same mc...let us go with her...how the world changes from one thing to the other, her reaction, is this normal? Is she scared? Has she seen the place before?) A dim light filters in through the two stained glass windows at each end of the long narrow room. Thick wooden beams run overhead. There is a roof, but no actual ceiling.
The air is cool and musty with a hint of something more unpleasant (Like what? "Something" only frustrates me...let me know to be scared or nervous, let me know what is bothering her, put a name to it, even if it's one she makes up. I need a bit of emotion, a hint as to what might be coming.) It catches at the back of my throat and I sneeze.
I am intrigued, but a bit confused with the scene break...is it the same mc or a different one?
I don't feel like I know the mc much. You set up the scene, the tree, the heat...you gave us that she is moving, so change and drama is coming, but not a lot of emotion. How does she feel about the move...it'll be cooler, but what else? I need the emotion to connect to the character.
Thank you to both of you for your comments. I posted this shortened version of my query because I felt the original was too wordy. Even though that one garnered me 2 partials and a full request from my first 6 queries. I can see this one's not working at all. Time to revisit and make some big changes. The MC is sitting outside trying not to feel sad about her pending move, the next page describes this. I had hoped her description of where she was moving to: wet and miserable, and the only good thing about the move being the weather, indicated her mood sufficiently. I can see now it doesn't. The scene break isn't actually a scene break, so perhaps I should remove that #. It is just the MC having a strange vision of herself in an attic with a violin on the floor in front of her. While she experiences this vision, which is very short, she's not sure what to think. Then her BFF arrives and pulls her from the vision and she has to decide whether to share this with her, which she does. Her friend reassures her this is only a stress reaction and has a logical explanation for every part of this vision. The book actually opens with a 255 word prologue with the violin's creator. I decided not to include the prologue because I only had 250 words. I admit to being very confused and depressed right now. But I appreciate all your comments so much. Off to revise now.
This is amazing! Your query hooks me immediately. The only thing, I'd give us a hint what "grasp on reality wavers" means.
When introverted albino teen Ana Samuels moves to a tiny town in the rainy PNW ( I wouldn’t abreviate here, because not everyone will know what this is), she expects to be wet, lonely, and miserable—and she is. What she doesn't expect is to fall for James, an adorably awkward deaf boy, or to find an enchanted violin in her attic, one that offers her a mysterious gift if she can play it (I love this set-up. You’ve managed to fit in the diversity in the story, as well as tell me exactly what kind of story to expect). As an accomplished fiddle player, Ana is convinced this will be easy: play the violin, receive the gift, fix her life—too bad the damn thing shocks the hell out of her every time she tries.
I slid deeper into the shade of our old willow tree (Willow tree? In the desert?), careful to keep my pale, melanin-free skin under cover. As far as I could determine, the only positive feature of our impending move to the rainy and miserable Pacific Northwest was the promise of cooler temperatures.
(I’m presuming it’s on purpose, but this is present tense, and the above is in past. I’m sure there’s a reason, and it’s okay for me not to know right now, but it’s off putting a little, and makes me wonder.
Thank you so much Cari. I appreciate your feedback! The dream vision sequence was supposed to be written in italics and I used present tense to show that it was happening in real time, like dialogue, but now I'm not sure if that was a good idea. Will research other options.
Fifteen-year-old Ana Samuels is not excited about moving to a tiny town in the rainy Pacific Northwest where she's convinced her albinism will turn her into a stare magnet. Especially when it means leaving her best and only friend, Clara. Ana's plans for survival include keeping to the shadows at her new performing arts school.
Falling for James, a hearing-impaired redhead, is not part of those plans. Neither is finding an old violin in her attic—much less one that shoots electric shocks and blue flames when she touches it. Sensations no one but Ana can see or feel. A note tucked inside the case promises that whoever can endure the magic long enough to play will receive a gift. Willing to try anything to fix her loneliness, Ana is determined to play. Unfortunately, even a ten second touch sends her flying. When each attempt fails miserably, Ana decides to give up. But the violin refuses to let her go, delivering headaches, bouts of itching, symptoms only relieved by touching the violin again. Now she's trapped. She can't play but she can't stop trying. As Ana's obsession grows and the magical side effects chip away at her sanity, her blossoming romance with James is threatened, her friendship with Clara crumbles, and her grades plummet.
When she begins to suspect her mother is seriously ill, Ana realizes it's her mother who needs the gift. Miraculously, James believes her fantastical story and together the two misfits attempt to unravel the mystery of the violin's hold over Ana. In the process, they discover the magical offer is about to end. Ana faces an impossible decision. Play—and risk the potentially deadly magic in order to receive the gift—or refuse, and not only continue her descent into madness, but lose her chance at saving her mother.
By midday it was hot enough to melt the lips off a chicken. Sweat dripped down my neck. Gross. I lifted up the heavy weight of my blue curls to cool my skin. A vision of a plump hen with liquefying lips flitted through my brain. Clearly, despite my hat—big enough to cover the entire state of New Mexico—the desert sun had finally fricasseed my brain.
I slid deeper into the shade of our old Desert Willow, careful to keep my pale, melanin-free skin under cover. As far as I could determine, the only positive feature of our impending move to the rainy and miserable Pacific Northwest was the promise of cooler temperatures.
After spending the morning helping my parents do a final sweep of our house, searching through closets and empty rooms for forgotten items, I'd escaped outside. Despite the heat, I needed to get away from the bittersweet memories of my childhood that tugged at my heart from every corner of our house.
I leaned against the tree and opened my book, trying to lose myself in the magic of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. I read for a few minutes, then the words began to dance and blur. The world around me hushed and became silent. Then our yard disappeared in a smoky haze as I slipped into an odd vision.
I’m sitting on a dirty, wooden floor. A dim light filters in through the two stained glass windows at each end of the long narrow room.

This device is about to steal the market with its capability to allow its users to move, run or brisk freely while shopping. Gita is one of its kind devices. It can move automatically without getting distracted and while carrying stuff of its owners. Whether it be clothes bought from a store and lots of grocery for your kitchen, you can stuff all that in this round shaped device and carry it to your place without lifting any weight.
Gita, as defined by its manufacturer, is an intelligent and nimble cargo vehicle. It has been specially designed and crafted while keeping the safety, braking, balancing and vehicle dynamics similar to that of a high-performance motorcycle in mind.
This amazing creation by Piaggio Fast Forward creates a 3D map of its surrounding and simply follows the trails left by it wearable – that is YOU! The device has already been tested by its creator, but it is yet to be introduced to the public. During the tests, Gita proved that it can work independently, which means its owner doesn’t have to move with it to provide directions. Gita simply follows the 3D map and reaches the place safely and securely.
Gita also has the capabilities to prevent obstacles between waypoints given that any features of the real world do not coincide with its existing maps. The round-shaped Gita looks pretty from outside and can carry lots of things.
The device works in two modes – Follow and Autonomous. In the follow mode, Gita explores and learns how to navigate complex spaces by trailing its owner. As it travels it creates a 3D map of its surroundings. The Autonomous mode is used in an environment that has already been explored by it. In this mode, Gita detects and avoids obstacles meet waypoints.
This cargo-carrying robot can move around carrying as much as 40 pounds of cargo. In case you have some cargo weighing more than that then you will have to wait for Gita’s brother Kilo that can carry a lot of weight. Here are some of the salient features of Gita that makes it a caring cargo robot.
Simple: Using Gita is quite simple. All one need to do is tap a button placed on the top of it. Tapping the button will engage the Gita and it will start moving.
Expressive: This cargo-carrying robot is approachable and communicative. It communicates through lights and sounds. One can command it through its touchscreen interface.
All Terrain: Gita can run on any surface whether it be a smooth or rough. It has large wheels similar to a bicycle. This enables it to operate on irregular surfaces.
Fast: The gadget moves at a speed of up to 22mph. Therefore, there isn’t any fear of getting lost or behind while you enjoy your walk. It has an adjustable speed. You can adjust its speed to match it with yours.
Never Lost: Gita doesn’t forget the pathway. It can never be lost. The device can locate you no matter where you hide – behind some trees or buildings. It will always catch back you.
Secure: Gita knows how to keep stuff safe and secure. It has a secure lock system to protect the cargo inside it. It has a 360-degree camera and its movement is tracked 24 hours a day even if it is lying idle.
Durable: The cargo-carrying robot can carry as much as 40 pounds of cargo at a time. It has a space volume of up to nearly 2,000 cubic inches, which is equivalent to a loaded rucksack, or two stuffed grocery bags.
Long Range: Gita operates on batteries and it has the capacity to last for a full 8 hours at walking speeds. It can follow you tirelessly throughout the day.
Gita is the light-weight delivery system specially crafted for the 21st-century cityscape. It is 26 inches tall and has the capacity to carry up to 40 lbs. The word ‘Gita’ means ‘short journey’ in Italian. This gadget is crafted to help people move hands-free and is capable of moving on any surface. It has a special mechanism that ensures the safety of the cargo and also ensures that Gita stays in touch with its owner. With the latest device soon ladies will be able to shop hands-free and men will be able to work without carrying a paper in their hands.
The latest innovation is likely to be quite useful for all those who find it hard to carry weight. Gita can also be used in the workplaces for moving files and other documents from one department to another. It is an amazing innovation that is likely to change the way people carry their stuff.

In something of a follow up to a recent post I made about the battle for social TV, I observed Tumblr’s prominence in engaging users outside of the actual show airing window, particularly in the way largely image driven memes emerge from the micro-blogging platform (though, shameless plug, I still use mine mainly for long-form content).
It doesn’t look like I was the only one that noticed this. Netflix have recently released “Orange Is The New App” (herein referred to as OITNA), an application for their critically acclaimed series Orange Is The New Black, which is now its second season. OITNA doesn’t act as a companion to be used whilst watching the show, it acts as a touch point for users to engage and share content around it. Primarily to get on the meme bandwagon, the app (for iOS and Android) allows the sharing of pre-made image memes, or for the user to create their own.
The problem with OITNA is that it tries to co-opt the organic nature of meme generation into something more corporate friendly, and it doesn’t really work. Memes generally don’t just reference the show they’re derived from, they often weave phrases or images from across pop culture together in order to create the joke. OITNA only references the show it’s derived from and, as a result, is severely limited in how referential it can be.
The greeting card/‘your face in this image’ version might be used a little more, but the app is little more than a standard promotional tool, that does little more than offer us the exact kind of generic image sharing that Netflix already try to drown their show Facebook pages in.
I applaud what Netflix are trying to do in attempting to connect with fans beyond the more traditional route, but - cute name aside - OITNA ends up going down the same trite routes that we’ve seen before. Only by letting go of the need to control the brand and allowing people to play with characters and themes on their own terms can attempts like this succeed. I know it’s scary, but try to live a little.

High in flavonoids, which are lauded for their relaxing properties (chamomile tea is another great source), chocolate also contains phenethylamine, a chemical that enhances your mood. The darker the chocolate, the more healthy substances you're getting in your diet, so look for bars that are 70 percent cacao or higher.
Turns out that a glass of warm milk really is calming. One study found that women who drank four or more servings of lowfat or skim milk every day were about half as likely to experience stress-related PMS symptoms than those who drank less than one serving a week.
Carbs help you produce serotonin, a calming hormone that helps fight anxiety's negative effects-which is probably why many of us crave them when we're stressed. Go with the craving and choose healthy sources. Oatmeal is high in fiber, which means that your body will absorb it slowly. In one fell swoop, you'll prolong the serotonin boost, keeping yourself feeling full for longer (and on less) and making sure your blood sugar's in check.
Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids-abundant in fish like salmon-can help reverse stress symptoms by boosting serotonin levels, and that an omega-3-rich diet can also help suppress the production of the anxiety hormones cortisol and adrenaline.
They've been shown to help lower blood pressure, which is critical for those whose hearts are already working overtime thanks to high adrenaline levels. In fact, research so strongly backs their health benefits that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration goes so far as to recommend 1 1/2 oz per day.
A good source of folate, which helps your body produce a pleasure-inducing brain chemical called dopamine.
Studies show that magnesium, which you'll find in leafy greens like spinach, improves your body's response to stress.
Their antioxidants counteract the effects of stress hormones like cortisol on your body.

Always Eat Good Eating Healthy, Recipes and Much More!
This Vegan Fruit Granola Bar Recipe makes 12 bars!
The kid’s will love this Vegan Fruit Granola Bar Recipe as a great after school snack! The prep time for this meal is only 5 min. and the cook time is 10 minutes of active cook time and 80 minutes of inactive time (so plan ahead!).
Start by preheating your oven to 300°F. Then, use parchment paper to line a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Mix together the dates, almond butter, juice, melted oil, pure vanilla extract, and salt in your food processor and mix until just about smooth and set aside.
Then use a large bowl to stir together the gluten free oats, dried fruit, nuts, and seeds. Add in the date mix and stir together until well combined. Pour the mixture into the lined baking dish and flatten it by using a non-stick spatula.
Bake in the oven for 20 min., or just until lightly golden and remove from the oven. Let the bars cool down completely before transferring to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least an hour.
Take the bars out of the refrigerator. Lift the granola bars out of the dish by the parchment paper. Lastly, slice your bars into 12 bars. The bars will be good for up to 7 to 10 days.

In order to ensure an educated and skilled workforce for their companies, many industries have successfully developed and implemented industry-recognized credentials to connect individuals to the skills they need to enter into and advance in jobs. In order to better understand this landscape and develop initiatives to address the skills gap, Business Roundtable gathered information from major industry associations about both the current and potential use of nationally portable, standards-based, industry-recognized skills credentials.
The resulting inventory catalogs a number of skills certifications tied to competency models that national industry associations are issuing to help businesses identify workers who possess the skills and competencies necessary to perform in high-growth occupations. The type, scope, use and delivery of these credentials are as diverse as the industries that employ them. The commonalities that exist within the wide range of industry credentials include national portability, a foundation in industry-developed standards and recognition by industry – attributes that contribute to their labor market and consumer value.
Inherent in these skills credentials is the identification of the knowledge, skills and abilities required in jobs within specific sectors and industries. This approach sets the stage to better align education and training to career success, as well as to create educational pathways from high school to community colleges and four-year career-focused majors in universities, which are directly connected to employment.

A fantastic challenge has been set by the Household Cavalry - and we would be impressed if you solved straight away.
They have a long unbroken tradition of service to the country over nearly four centuries.
The Mirror has reported that they've shared some picture showing just how good they are at staying hidden.
Traditionally, the regiment was mounted on horseback, but today, are more often found 'mounted' on tanks and other combat vehicles.

In this replication of a phantom traffic jam, just a single car with limited autonomy (the silver SUV) is enough to clear up congestion involving 20 other cars.
It’s sometimes argued that the long-term benefits of self-driving cars, such as safer roads, may not be felt with much impact until robotic vehicles account for the majority of traffic on the road. Until that happens, those unpredictable lumps of meat we call humans will continue to exert their own effects on traffic—continuing to cause accidents, for instance. But a new study out of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign suggests that the addition of just a small number of autonomous cars can ease the congestion on our roads.
The team’s results show that by having an autonomous vehicle control its speed intelligently when a phantom jam starts to propagate, it’s possible to reduce the amount of braking performed further back down the line. The numbers are impressive: the presence of just one autonomous car reduces the standard deviation in speed of all the cars in the jam by around 50 percent, and the number of sharp hits to the brakes is cut from around nine per vehicle for every kilometer traveled to at most 2.5—and sometimes practically zero.
It’s interesting that these improvements can occur even with a single vehicle in a flow of 20 other cars. And it’s also worth noting that the level of autonomy required to have this effect isn’t the kind that Waymo, Uber, and others are seeking to build—it’s more akin to the adaptive cruise control already featured in many higher-end cars. So while we might have to wait a little longer for all of autonomy’s effects to be felt, its ability to reduce traffic congestion could be here rather sooner than we anticipated.

With just 82 days remaining until the Republican Convention, Ted Cruz and John Kasich have publicly discussed their plan to launch a coordinated opposition effort to Donald Trump in upcoming state primaries. The idea is to consolidate Cruz and Kasich supporters behind the most competitive alternative to Trump in each of the remaining states, rather than splitting the anti-Trump vote between the two candidates. In states that allocate delegates using a winner-take-all method, and where Donald Trump might receive less than 50% of the vote, Kasich and Cruz would hope to deny him any delegates by rallying a majority behind a single candidate.
The New York Times published a Room For Debate segment today debating the feasibility of the plan. While the debaters do speculate over possible voter reactions, they do not address the narrow set of delegate allocation rules necessary to make this plan successful. A “united” front against Trump would only meaningfully deny him delegates in states that allocate delegates in a winner-take-all manner, and where Trump earns less than a majority. In the five states that voted on Tuesday, combining Kasich-Cruz voters behind a single candidate would have been entirely irrelevant, as Trump earned overwhelming majorities in all five states.
In the remaining states, only Indiana, Nebraska, California, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota use winner-take-all delegate allocation. Among those, consolidating California’s 172 delegates behind a single candidate would provide the most meaningful chance to halt Trump’s nomination before the convention. Even then, a Cruz-Kasich alliance would only prevail if Trump fell short of a majority in the state. Recent polls have Trump at only 45.7% approval in California for now, but he is climbing steadily.
Of course, whether feasible or not, the entire plan is premised on Cruz and Kasich voters casting their votes for a candidate they may not truly believe in or support. In states where Cruz is dominant, Kasich supporters would be expected to vote for him over their favorite candidate, and vice versa in states where Kasich is stronger. Asking voters to participate in this kind of strategic calculus robs many Republican voters of real choice in their primary election. Everyone deserves the right to have their sincerest choices heard and reflected in the ballot box.
There is a way to give more power to a majority of like-minded voters without asking them to vote strategically. If Republicans used ranked choice voting, voters could rank their favorite candidate first without worrying about their vote actually helping their least favorite candidate. Kasich and Cruz voters could maintain the right to vote their conscience at the polls while still making their opposition to Donald Trump meaningfully heard.

How Can You Know When Someone Is Really Sorry?
Repeated apologies, promises never to do it again, remorse, tears, pleading for another chance are things repeat abusers say to those they hurt. Whether they are causing harm through emotional or physical abuse, committing adultery, being deceptive, lying, cheating, or are engaged in other destructive behaviors such as addiction, they genuinely feel bad when exposed and confronted and offer appeasement for the moment but nothing changes.
The behavior continues causing pain and destruction at all levels in families and relationships. That’s because God’s word says there is a huge difference between being sorry and repentance, between regretting the wrongs we have committed and committing to change behaviors that bind and hurt others.
Worldly sorrow does not lead to the brokenness and humility needed to get the human heart to a place of genuine Godly sorrow and repentance before a Holy God that produces a desire to change. Worldly sorrow causes the heart to harden and brings forth death in all areas of our lives, while Godly sorrow softens the heart and brings forth life.

Broward County schools have been charged nearly $10,000 for toll violations from school buses that used the Florida Turnpike as far back as 2009.
The state sent 34 school district toll violations to private collections agencies in November 2017, and the cases still remain open nearly a year later.
Four tolls from 2013 originally ranged from 75 cents to $1.25 each. Now they’ve ballooned to $213 each, due to court costs and late fees.
The total bill for the district: $9,553 for 34 tolls. The total cost would have likely been less than $50 had they been paid on time.
Runcie couldn’t be reached for comment, but a spokeswoman for the district said at least some of the fees were improperly charged to the district. Officials are asking for more details from SunPass, which manages the prepaid toll program for the Turnpike.
$1.25 toll at the Turnpike’s Cypress Creek Plaza in Fort Lauderdale three times in August 2013. A second bus was cited for not paying a 75-cent toll in early September.
However, the school district said both vehicles had been registered to the district SunPass prepaid toll account since Jan. 1, 2013.
They involved four buses, but the district said the vehicle license plate numbers listed on state records are incomplete, leaving off the last three digits.
Brennan said the district generates a purchase order every year to pay its monthly SunPass invoices.
But neither the district nor the state could explain why most of the tolls remained unresolved for nearly a decade.
The school district isn’t the only the government agency to pile up a huge bill from unpaid tolls.
A 2012 auditor’s report showed Miami-Dade County Commission owed $637,708 in fines and penalties. Had the tolls been paid on time, the amount would have been about $20,000, the county commission’s auditor wrote. The audit said the county was negotiating with the state to reduce the charge.
While the state exempts marked law enforcement and emergency vehicles from tolls, most government vehicles, including school buses, are required to pay them.

Mutations in the BIGH3 gene on chromosome 5q31 cause 4 distinct autosomal dominant human cornea diseases characterized by accumulation of corneal deposits in a progressive fashion and in time by loss of vision. A specific recurrent missense mutation for each type of dystrophy is in 10 independently ascertained families. Genotype analysis with microsatellite markers around BIGH3 has been carried out for the 10 families and in 5 families reported in the past. New data imply that R555W, H124H and R124C mutations were independent in a number of ethnic groups. Apparently the mutations don't reflect a putative founder effect. The specific importance of the R124 and R555 amino acids in the pathogenesis of autosomal dominant corneal dystrophies linked to 5p has been confirmed.

Power calculations derived from simulations support the accuracy of transmission/disequilibrium test approximations. This has significant implications for ongoing genetic research for origins of disease, as a computational model can be developed. By using a general genetic base and sample size, researchers can use the test to examine families with either one affected individual or sibling pairs.

If that doesn't look like old left-over material, I don't know what. :P Very slow and frankly boring as heck.
Amazing 3D effect. When I saw this for the first time at the party, I totally dropped my mind. One of the best 256b intro of all time.
A camera moving around a tunnel. Great.
Just tested on pentium 4 xp, still runs slow.
Thumbs up because I also realized aliencore is too slow here (what machine do I need?) and I voted for that up.
A ridiculous reason to change thumbs I concure..

In the philosophy of religion, reformed epistemology is a school of thought regarding the epistemology of belief in God put forward by a group of Protestant Christian philosophers, most notably, Alvin Plantinga, William Lane Craig, William Alston, Nicholas Wolterstorff and Michael C. Rea. Central to Reformed epistemology is the idea that belief in God is a "properly basic belief": it does not need to be inferred from other truths in order to be reasonable. Since this view represents a continuation of the thinking about the relationship between faith and reason that its founders find in 16th century Reformed theology, particularly in John Calvin's doctrine that God has planted in us a sensus divinitatis, it has come to be known as Reformed epistemology.
Reformed epistemology aims to demonstrate the failure of objections that theistic belief—and in later works of the school, full-blown Christian belief—is unjustified, unreasonable, intellectually sub-par or otherwise epistemically challenged in some way, even where one believes it without supporting argument. By contrast, many modern foundationalists, and evidentialists claim that theistic belief is rational only where one's so believing is inferentially based in propositional and/or physical evidence, and a subset of these think further that no adequate evidence is available.
Reformed epistemology seeks to defend faith as rational by demonstrating that theistic belief can be properly basic — reasonable though it is not held as an inference from other truths. Reformed epistemology grew out of the parity argument presented by Alvin Plantinga in his book God and Other Minds (1967): if believing in other minds is rational though unsupported by argument, so might believing in God be rational, even if similarly unsupported. Plantinga (2000a) would later argue that theistic belief has "warrant". Roughly, in Plantinga's theory of knowledge, warrant is that property of true beliefs that makes them knowledge. What this turns out to be, says Plantinga, is the property of being "produced by cognitive faculties functioning properly (subject to no malfunctioning) in a cognitive environment congenial for those faculties, according to a design plan successfully aimed at truth" Because there is an epistemically possible model according to which theistic belief is properly basic—i.e. the one on which God has designed our cognitive faculties such as to be disposed to form belief in God—theistic belief is warranted apart from theistic argument. Plantinga contends that this model is likely true if theistic belief is true; and on the other hand, the model is unlikely to be true if theism is false. This connection between the truth-value of theism and its positive epistemic status suggests to some that the goal of showing theistic belief to be externally rational or warranted requires reasons for supposing that theism is true (Sudduth, 2000). It should be noted that though Reformed epistemology denies that theistic arguments are necessary to rational belief in God, many of its adherents see theistic arguments of various sorts as providing that belief with additional warrant.
The position that faith addresses issues beyond the scope of rationality holds that faith supplements rationality, because the scope of rational human knowledge is limited. In essence, under this view, faith corresponds to beliefs that, although quite possibly true, cannot yet be fully grasped by our reason.
Under this view, faith is not static belief divorced from reason and experience, and is not illegitimate as a source of knowledge. On the contrary, belief by faith starts with the things known by reason, and extends to things that are true, although they cannot be understood, and is therefore legitimate insofar as it answers questions that rational thought is incapable of addressing. As such, beliefs held by this form of faith are seen dynamic and changing as one grows in experience and knowledge; until one's "faith" becomes "sight." This sort of belief is commonly found in mysticism.
It is irrational or unacceptable to accept theistic belief without sufficient or appropriate evidence or reason.
There is not sufficient/appropriate evidence or reason for theistic belief.
Belief in God is irrational.
Reformed epistemologists, however, deny the first premise — namely, that belief in God is irrational unless supported by sufficient evidence, where evidence is construed as providing propositions from which to infer God's existence. They contend that the requirement is unduly strict, for there are many reasonable beliefs that one may accept without argument (for example, belief in other minds, belief in an external world, and belief in the past). Moreover, many perceptual beliefs are not formed by way of arguments: e.g., one does not formulate an argument, "I'm being appeared to 'treely'; the way one is appeared to is the way things are; therefore: I am seeing a tree." Rather, upon seeing a tree, one simply believes one sees a tree. We might say that the experience epistemically "grounds" the belief without contributing to an argument on the basis of which one accepts it. Such beliefs are properly basic and need no argument to substantiate them. Reformed epistemology therefore rejects as arbitrary the evidentialist requirement of an argument to prove the existence of God, but not the existence of other persons, the truth of propositions about past, or the reality of the external world.
Although Reformed epistemology has flourished among several theistic philosophers, it has been criticized by theists and non-theists alike. Those of faith have frequently criticized Reformed epistemology for its commitment to negative apologetics, counter-arguments to arguments that faith is not rational, the fact that it offers no reasons for supposing that theism or Christianity is true (so-called positive apologetics), and its claim that any such inferences are unsound.
Criticisms from those critical of (or agnostic toward) faith as rational have included that Reformed epistemology rests on the presupposition that there is religious truth, but does not present any argument to show that there is any (compare Fideism). Another common criticism is that as a tool for discriminating justified from unjustified constituent beliefs, Reformed epistemology falls short; that it springs forth from a presupposition that within each of us resides a doxastic mechanism (i.e. a mechanism for reasoning about beliefs) that generates religious convictions, belief in God, etc., supporting the conclusion that such beliefs are innate, hence properly basic.
Rationalists argue that beliefs held by faith, without evidence, contradict one another. Thus most "faiths," in the sense of "religions," hold that their view is correct and that other religions are false religions. The Bible, for examples, says, "Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me." Therefore, of the exclusive religions held through faith, either one is correct and all others are wrong, or they are all wrong. Rationalists argue that if, in all cases but one, faith leads to incorrect belief, then it is wrong in that one case to expect faith to lead to correct belief.
In short, the Great Pumpkin Objection states that Reformed epistemology is so liberal that it allows belief in any sort of far-fetched entity to be justified as simply foundational or basic. Someone might, for example, take as basic the belief that The Great Pumpkin is all-powerful, just as the Reformed epistemologist takes a similar belief in God as basic. Perhaps the belief is grounded in an experiential belief, such as Plantinga (1993b) describes. Thus, the objection intends to show that there must be something wrong with Reformed epistemology if it allows belief in the Great Pumpkin to be warranted as basic.
Plantinga's answer to this is that the objection simply assumes that the criteria for "proper basicality" propounded by Classical Foundationalism (self-evidence, incorrigibility, and sense-perception) are the only possible criteria for properly basic beliefs. It is as if the Great Pumpkin objector feels that if properly basic beliefs not be arrived at by way of one of these criteria, then it follows that just 'any' belief could then be properly basic, precisely because there are no other criteria. But, Plantinga says it simply doesn't follow from the rejection of Classical Foundationalist criteria, that all possibility for criteria has been exhausted, and this is exactly what the Great Pumpkin objection assumes.
Plantinga takes his counter-argument further, asking how the GP objector "knows" that such criteria are the only criteria. The objector certainly seems to hold it as 'basic' that the Classical Foundationalist criteria are all that is available. Yet, such a claim is neither self-evident, incorrigible, nor evident to the senses. This rebuts the Great Pumpkin objection by demonstrating the Classical Foundationalist position to be internally incoherent, propounding an epistemic position which it itself does not follow.
Broadening of the definition of faith to include faith as a belief that rests on logical proof or material evidence.
Weakening of the definitions of proof, evidence, logic, rational, etc., to allow for a lower standard of proof.
Attacking the epistemological underpinnings of rationality by asserting that certain beliefs not supported by reason or evidence are still properly basic because they are intuitive or that we are "naturally inclined" to believe them.
The semantic strategy (number 1) is common to those who hold that faith addresses issues beyond the scope of rationality, whereas the epistemological strategy (number 2) is employed by those who hold that faith underlies rationality.
Other people of faith have adopted the position that faith is implicitly irrational and have embraced the putative irrationality of faith as a demonstration of devotion to one's beliefs and deity. For example, Fideism specifically recommends that one not be rational.
The Roman Catholic Church has always been critical of any approach that does not see the place of natural revelation within its schema of epistemology. Nevertheless, the emphasis on revelation being the primary means of knowing God is kept within its system.

FPL recognise’s its obligations to act responsibly, ethically and with integrity in its interactions with all stakeholders be they staff, customers, suppliers, communities and the environment as a whole. As part of FPLs overall CSR strategy, we donate time, expertise and funds through our voluntary charitable fundraising activities. For 2014, we already have a packed calendar of events. Among them are The Paris International Marathon, Race Night, Bag Pack and our annual Golf Classic, all in support of Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Below are some images capturing moments from our fundraising activities over the last 3 years.
Falcondale Properties Ltd 2015 Golf Event for Temple Street Children’s Hospital took place on Friday the 5th of June at Palmerstown Stud Golf Club, Naas. €10,150 was raised for Temple St. Children's Hospital.
Falcondale Properties Ltd 2014 Bowling Night for Temple Street Children’s Hospital took place on Tuesday the 3rd of June from 6.00-8.00pm in Kbowl (Toughers Business Park) where there was Competitions, Raffle & Prizes plus food & fun.
Falcondale Properties LTD 2013 Golf Charity Event for Temple Street Children’s Hospital took place in Rathsallagh Golf Club last Saturday the 17 th of August proving to be an even greater success and turnout than last year - raising in excess of €5,000 for Temple Street Children's Hospital.
Falcondale Properties held our Annual Golf Day Out on Saturday 1st September at Rathsallagh Golf Club. Every year we nominate a charity and use the opportunity to fundraise for them at the event. In 2012, we chose St.Brigid�s Hospice and were delighted to have raised �1500.00.
Rathsallagh Golf Club Open Week sponsored by Falcondale Properties Ltd. Throughout the week we were fundraising for No Name Club. It is a National Voluntary Youth Organisation founded in 1978 with 53 clubs throughout the country. No Name Clubs were founded to provide an alternative to pub culture for young people in Ireland. They demonstrate a lifestyle in which the use of alcohol or drugs is seen as unnecessary to the enjoyment of a happy, cheerful and fulfilling social life for young people. At present, there are over 15,000 young people in No Name Clubs throughout the country.
Falcondale Properties Ltd competed in a 5km MUD RUN with all sponsorship going directly to BARNARDOS.

Pile your tousled locks on top of your head in her classic up-do, and slick on lots of kohl eyeliner for gorgeous '60s appeal. If you're off on your hols then pick a relaxed Bardot dress with a summery print, and add oversized sunnies with a big floppy hat for relaxed Hollywood glamour. In the evening, up the ante with some wedges and chunky bangles for a quick beach to bar update.

With every company using its own IT system for spare management it does make sense to have a translation tool that avoids manually entering order data. This reduces type errors, human interface and therefore costs and enables automatic responses to keep both systems updated at all times.
Even with the XML format available for SPEC2000 transaction and the possibility to escape from the ARINC or SITA networks there is still low penetration on the day to day transactions.
We shall see in the coming years a revolution in information sharing utilities and is still unclear if SPEC2000 will indeed lead the way.

A high-performance culture must cascade down from the top and be intentionally reinforced at every level. One bad senior team hire, a poorly designed organizational structure, or an incentive plan that rewards the wrong behavior can easily counteract the balance of the culture and ultimately put the brand at risk.
High-performing brands possess an engaged culture that is devoted to the organization’s mission and strategies.
Your brand is formed primarily, not by what it says about itself, but what the company does.

Another fine Thursday morning, and another fine codename. This time Nokia Roadrunner is in the news as the codename of a device that might be launching in the next few months.
Now admittedly, as far as codenames go, this one is very interesting.
And although it comes from the famous tipster, evleaks, no further information about what this device is has been provided. Or even a validation that it is, in fact, a smartphone, to start things off. Except for the fact that it exists, and is coming in the near future.
If it is a smartphone, chances are that it might be one that delivers blazing fast performance, judging by the codename. Then again, it might prove to be something else entirely.
Say, a fitness band, or a smartwatch, or whatever.
Adding to the mystery is the notion that whether this device is going to be released by Microsoft, or Nokia. Redmond is only allowed (as in licensed) to use the Nokia brand name on smartphones. So if it is a smartphone, it might be launched by Microsoft.
Much to ponder over here, and I am sure, much will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Nokia has, however, expressed an interest in entering the market for wearables (hint, hint, Nokia HERE suite of applications offers untapped potential), so whatever this Roadrunner thingy might end up being, chances are that it could be very exciting.
Sounds like a fast smartphone! At least that’s what Nokia believes it will be. Fingers crossed until we hear more info on this.
These codenames always make me laugh! How long have they been doing this and is there a backstory behind them?
I like your logic here, Lisa. The name does sound like it’ll be a fast phone, but maybe it’s a diversion and will be a smartwatch after all. We’ll have to wait and see.

No company can be successful without a healthy, growing customer base. Of course, building a loyal customer base can be difficult, particularly on a timescale that’s good for your bottom line.
Thankfully, there are quite a few options that can help not only build your customer base, but do so in a relatively short amount of time, provided you can put in sufficient effort.
The best customers are those who’ve pledged their loyalty to you. They’re long-term customers, who buy from you time and again. They can also double as brand advocates, telling others about your products or services. Build that loyalty by offering a “loyalty ladder” that gives your best customers more things that are important to them.
You might think that direct mail is dead – not so! It’s still an effective solution for reaching a highly targeted and defined audience, and you can use it to get your message right in front of those who’re most interested in what your company has to offer.
So while we’re not big fans of blanket direct mail pieces, when used strategically and with specific goals this tactic can still produce good results.
The best marketing is word of mouth, but getting your current customers to recommend your business can be tough, even if they love your product or service. Creating a referral program can help encourage your customers to market on your behalf in exchange for rewards.
No business operates in a vacuum, and if you try to do so, you’ll find you’re fighting an uphill battle. Allying with other businesses and business owners can give you access to their customers – untapped markets ripe for your message.
Strategic alliances can also include other businesses in similar industries that you can refer business back and forth with, as well as perform joint marketing activities. For instance, if you’re a real estate agent, an appraiser or title agent could be a good possible strategic alliance.
It’s an amazing phenomenon we see in many businesses – the assumption that happy customers will refer you to their friends and business associates. The simple fact is that you still have to ASK for referrals. Those who ask usually receive, and those who assume usually wonder why they’re not getting more referrals!
What’s your company’s single most important and valuable asset? It’s your workforce.
Your employees form the lens through which your customers view your company. Invest in your workforce. Build your success by building theirs through training and ongoing support.
Not all leads are created equal. If you have leads that are growing cold, it’s important to warm them up and convert them into buyers. Doing that can be tricky, but it’s possible with the right conversion strategies and techniques.
Sometimes, creating new customers is more time and money-intensive than maximizing the value of your existing customer base. By upselling and cross-selling your existing customers, you can double or even triple their value to your organization.
Internet marketing can be a powerful tool, and it’s not all about getting your customers to buy online. Leverage ongoing consumer search trends and use the Internet to drive traffic to your brick and mortar location.
Branding is about more than just building a relationship with your customers. It’s also about building visibility online and offline. Visible exposure of your brand reinforces your message and makes potential customers remember you.
At Action Coach Business Coaching, we’re dedicated to helping you succeed and build the most successful business possible. For more on building your customer base contact us today.
Do you wonder if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?
Maybe you’re no Bill Gates, but there are not alot of people like that.
You likely still have qualities that you can draw upon that will help you to become successful in business. The key is to identify your particular strengths, and then build on them in order to ensure your success in whatever business venture you choose to embrace.
The following are just a few of the traits that make a successful entrepreneur.
Even if you’re an expert in a particular field, you know that there’s always room for improvement, and that the process of educating yourself is endless. You subscribe to trade journals, and visit websites related to your field of business.
You attend seminars, training courses, and workshops even if you’re already pretty sure that you know everything that’s worth knowing. You join professional associations and network with others in your field. You never stop building on your skill set and you strive constantly to be the best you can be.
This is pretty basic. If you don’t like what you do, the chances of your succeeding at it are limited. If you have an idea for a business, make sure that you have the enthusiasm that will carry you through the long term. Believe in yourself, and believe in your product or service.
You understand that being in business isn’t about feeding your own self-image. It’s not even about promoting your service or product. A successful entrepreneur knows that the cornerstone of his or her business is the customer – that’s who is ultimately going to be responsible for the success or failure of your business. You strive for excellence in customer service at all times.
You take your business very seriously. You’re willing to put in long hours, and focus on what needs to be done. You’re not easily sidetracked, and you have the commitment to seeing a project through to a satisfying conclusion. You know that “done” is not the same thing as “done right,” and you are committed to excellence in everything you do.
You know that even if you’re operating a sole proprietorship, you can’t go it alone. You seek advice and support from business peers, suppliers, family, friends, government agencies and the community. You consider points of view other than your own, and even though you have the final say in how your business is run, you understand the wisdom of looking outside yourself for input.
You don’t go charging off in every direction. You set goals, and you devise strategies to achieve them. You assemble facts and figures, and go from there.
You follow your plan closely, but you don’t shy away from tweaking it or re-working something that’s not going the way you intended. Management by the seat of your pants is not for you.
Although you’re very good at keeping your nose to the grindstone, you understand the importance of taking the time to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. Work is a very important part of your life, but you understand that in order to be a well-rounded person, every so often you have to close up shop and have a little time for yourself.
Does this sound like you? If it does, you may have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.
Let’s face it – it’s hard to stay motivated all the time.
You work hard and you’re committed to your job, highly invested in succeeding, and usually in top form. Lately, though, you’ve been feeling a bit uninspired, and you’re wondering how to get yourself back on track. You can do it by changing the way you’ve been working.
There’s a very good chance that if you’re feeling unmotivated, you’re spending far too much time on tasks that are boring, repetitive, or just generally not designed to foster creativity. Are you constantly responding to emails, answering the phone, or dealing with routine inquiries from customers or co-workers?
Perhaps you need an assistant, or you need to delegate some of the tasks you’re spending so much time on to a subordinate. If that’s not possible, then you’ll have to prioritize.
Deal only with urgent phone calls, texts or emails. For less important communications, set aside a block of time at the end of the day – you’re bound to be less productive after a full day’s work, so handle tasks that don’t require much creativity during that part of the day when you’re not really at the top of your game.
If you spend the more productive hours of the day on tasks that really require your unique abilities, you’ll be using your time more effectively, and you’ll feel more motivated.
Set time aside during the day just to think. Relax with a cup of coffee, and use the time to toss ideas around in your head. It’s very possible that you’re feeling uninspired because you’re not allowing yourself to come up with the innovative strategies you used to be so good at.
Now that you’re getting back on track, keep it up.
Don’t put off working on your great ideas. You’ve broken the cycle of boredom that you were in due to too much focus on the ordinary, so keep going.
Talk with others, brainstorm, and motivate others while you motivate yourself.
Have regular meetings with stakeholders and co-workers, and collect their ideas.
If something isn’t working, scrap it and move on. Focus on what’s actually creating results. Don’t look backward; you’re not going in that direction.
Much of the time, what might seem like lack of motivation is nothing more than a fear of failure. If you find that you’re spending a lot of time at your desk, arranging your file folders or dusting off your family photos, the problem may not be a lack of motivation.
Often, people resort to mindless work as a means of procrastination. If you’re afraid that your idea isn’t going to work, you may be putting off implementing it.
Here’s the thing – an idea that isn’t hauled out and acted upon is inevitably going to fail. You didn’t get this far by sitting around doing nothing, so whatever’s holding you back, let go of it and get the ball rolling again. If your great plan doesn’t work out exactly the way you intended, salvage what you can and then re-work it.
No one is ever immune to failure all the time, so if things don’t work out, just consider that part of the learning experience. Don’t let it destroy your chance of success over the long-term.
In any job, any project, virtually any aspect of life, there are going to be challenges. The key is to view them not as roadblocks, but as an opportunity to flex your brain power.
If you’re stuck in a rut, find new challenges that will excite you and get you moving. You’ll be back on track and self-motivated again, to your benefit and that of your co-workers.
If you were asked to list all the characteristics that great leaders possess, chances are it would be a very long list.
There are a wide variety of leadership styles, and what works for one person may not work for another. Just as an example, you may be comfortable exercising a great deal of control over your work force, or you could be highly averse to micro-managing.
Techniques notwithstanding, there are some characteristics that are common to virtually every type of leader.
When you have the responsibility of managing a team, the standards that you set are the standards to which your people will aspire. An effective leader is honest with his team, both because it’s the right thing to do, and because if he or she is deceptive, then the trust the team has in the leader is irrevocably broken.
Also, you can’t expect people to deal honorably with you if you’re not straightforward in your dealings with them. It’s important to set high standards for yourself and for others.
There are few things more frustrating than trying to deal with a person who’s not stating their position clearly. In order to have a productive work environment, it’s essential that you communicate effectively with your team. You need to get your vision of what needs to be done across to them in a way that they can understand and act upon. If you can’t do that, then you can assume that very little is going to actually be accomplished. Good leaders are available to communicate concepts clearly and concisely.
An effective leader is confident in his or her ability. Even when circumstances are difficult, the confidence of the leader does not diminish – he or she doesn’t perceive roadblocks, just challenges that can be overcome.
Again, as with honesty, your team members are going to take their cue from you. If they see you as someone who can roll with the punches, they’ll do the same.
Whether you have a project at work that needs to be completed, or you’ve offered your time to someone outside of work, you stay the course. Even when the going gets tough, you forge ahead in pursuit of the best possible result. This level of commitment inspires respect in your team, and that’s vital, because a leader without respect is no leader at all.
Leading is considerably easier when everything is going the way it’s supposed to. In any type of business, though, there are going to be times when things aren’t going according to plan. Your team looks to you for guidance in such situations, and you won’t always be a hundred percent sure of what should be done.
In a situation like that, a good leader frequently just goes with what their gut tells them. That tells your team that you have the confidence to take a chance on making a decision quickly – you know that most of the time, you’ll probably get it right. The trust you place in yourself will be reflected in the trust you get back from your team.
A sense of humor in the workplace is more important than most people realize. Cracking a joke once in a while with your team is beneficial to the overall morale.
Even more important, an effective leader knows how to laugh at his or her own mistakes – it makes for a healthier work environment.
These are just some characteristics of effective leaders. Obviously more goes into the leadership role, but these basic traits make for a well-rounded leader.
At Action Coach, we believe that developing good leadership is an important piece of the puzzle to running a profitable business. Click here to learn more about our coaching program options and how they can help you develop your leadership qualities.
Let’s face it, there’s not much you can do to control the outside forces that might disrupt even the best laid plans. And sometimes, the unthinkable actually does happen.
It is nearly impossible to predict if or when a key client may close an account, a supplier will become unavailable or raise their prices, or other negative things will happen.
While we can’t always anticipate these types of events, what you CAN do is change how prepared you are for when the unexpected happens.
There are many small businesses that are unable to stay afloat because one unexpected hit is enough to take them down. If this happens, it means that the business did not have the necessary cushions and safety nets in place to safeguard against these types of occurrences.
The key is to take actions now to ensure that your business is less vulnerable when it comes to the unexpected. Even if you are a brand new business, and do not have a large amount of resources, there are still steps that you can take to protect your business.
This may seem very obvious, but new businesses make the mistake of being too trustworthy all the time. To attract new sales, businesses will sometimes extend credit to customers who are not credit-worthy. Especially when your business is just starting, you cannot afford to extend this much trust, even for small transactions.
CBS News recently reported that completing an order, and then not receiving payment, is approximately twice as costly as having no transaction at all. If you work in an industry in which it would be unreasonable to ask for full payment upfront, there are ways that you can protect yourself from risky buyers.
Always be polite, but clear, about your payment requirements.
Diversity is essential when reducing the vulnerability of your business. It can be very dangerous for a large portion of your revenue to come from a single client, a group of clients, or a particular type of transaction. If an unexpected change wipes out this revenue source, it could mean the end of your business.
For example, if the majority of your revenue comes from the sale of one specific product, and that product stops being profitable or even viable, your business is going to be in a world of trouble. Even if you specialize in producing a product, you should look for ways to offer different versions of that product, and additional products and services to accompany it. If something happens to stop the sale of one product, you will have the others to keep your business running.
It is possible to reduce the number of unexpected problems that occur when you have a strong business plan in place and you track and measure your progress regularly.
It is not enough to simply have a plan when you are launching your business, and never look at it again. When you track how well your strategy is working, you can identify strengths and weaknesses and adapt your plan for the future. You can also incorporate contingency plans that can be followed in the event of a problem. A business that is prepared and aware will be ready for anything.
You can read every book available and take every course offered covering your chosen career field, but nothing will prepare you for the real world quite like getting out there and living in it. There are many different lessons that you can only learn from personal experience.
The more experience you have, the more valuable information you have at your disposal. When it comes time for you to make a challenging decision, you can think back to similar circumstances to determine your best course of action. You already have a rough idea of what will lead to the most advantageous outcome, because you’ve been here before.
This does not mean that you necessarily never try anything new. However, because of your past experiences, you have a better idea of which ideas and strategies do not work. You can save time and reduce your risks by avoiding mistakes that you have made before or that you have seen others make.
One of the main problems with experience is that it is not something that you can just instantly get. By definition, experience comes with time. You only gain it through trying new things and working hard for many years.
So, what can newcomers do who want to have experience now?
They must rely on the guidance of those who are experienced. As Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, explains, sometimes you have to surround yourself with mentors who can give you good advice. Even if you think you have the greatest business idea of your generation, there are always new and valuable things that you can learn from those who have come before you.
To illustrate a point, I recently met with a client who had just returned from an industry conference with pages of notes and handouts from well meaning speakers trying to help them improve their business. With calls to make, bills to pay and problems to solve, this client was wondering where he would find the time to try and distill the volumes of information down to something he could actually put into use.
Our job as coaches is to help distill all of the theoretical, best practice type information down into a concrete business plan that will have a measurable impact on your business. We do this either via group coaching or in our one to one coaching.
What Are the Benefits of Working with an Experienced Business Coach?
Knowledge – If you want to innovate within your industry, you must be aware of its history and where it is now in order to identify methods of improvement. An experienced coach can pass along the industry knowledge you need to create a strong foundation upon which to build.
Perspective – It is easy to develop tunnel vision when you are the main catalyst building and working in your own business without a lot of outside input. An experienced outside perspective can help you see your business the way that potential customers and partners see it. The perspective of someone with a lot of industry experience can be especially valuable because they can typically tell you if you are making any mistakes that other business leaders in your industry have made.
Brainstorming – Your coach can act as a valuable sounding board off which you test ideas. You can work through half-formulated strategies, growing them with the help of someone who is very knowledgeable and familiar with your work.
Contacts – When gaining experience, you also gain connections and expand your professional networks. If you choose to surround yourself with people who are highly experienced, you can also be introduced to many of their business contacts, which can be very important to your business in the future.
In addition to working with experienced people, and learning from them, always look for ways to improve your own experience. You naturally gain experience just from working and advancing your career, but there are ways that you can make your time more meaningful.
Always be willing to try new things and learn new skills as you work. The more you expand your knowledge, the more valuable you will be to yourself and others.
To run a business successfully, you have to be able to identify which efforts are increasing your profits and which are draining your resources. The only way to do this is to be able to monitor and analyze your finances.
In short, you’ve got to know your numbers!
Whether you work with an accountant, or if you are keeping track of your finances on your own, every business owner needs to understand which types of financial information are most important to track and measure. With so many different varieties of data available to you, this can easily become very overwhelming.
Net Profit – Your net profit is going to be the amount of revenue you receive after all of your costs are deducted. Even if your sales have increased, if your costs have also increased, you may only be breaking even or you could be losing money. By studying the net profit, you can determine if certain projects are truly worth your time or if they need changes.
Overall Sales – By studying the sales figures for the entire company, or a particular product or service, you can measure things such as how well your marketing efforts are working. Are customers eager to make purchases or are the sales figures dropping?
The experts at Inc. recommend comparing your current sales figures to where you want them to be in the future. This will help you make a plan for how to proceed.
Sales Per Capita – Sales per capita data allows you to take your sales figures and separate them into smaller divisions. Instead of looking at your sales figures as a whole, analyze the sales numbers for particular team members. Score recommends also looking at which days and times of the day bring you the highest average sales. This allows you to identify opportunities for improvement.
Quick Ratio – The quick ratio is determined by dividing your total accounts receivable by your total accounts payable. This ratio indicates your business’ ability to pay its bills. The ratio should be at least one to one, meaning you can cover your expenses, but ideally, accounts receivable will be twice as large as accounts payable.
Debt to Equity – The debt to equity ratio, which is the business’ total debt divided by its equity, allows for a measurement of how well the business is able to manage its financing. This ratio is often observed while the business creates a strategy to reduce its overall debt.
Inventory – Inventory management is an essential element of financial analysis. Business owners must strike a balance between running out of stock and having large costly surpluses. Inventory levels must be monitored regularly to avoid any unexpected fluctuations or wasted resources.
% Of Sales – The only way to determine if your costs are growing too high is to measure them in relation to your sales. If costs become a high percentage of sales, this means overhead expenses are getting out of control and changes need to be made.
If gathering financial the information to track these metrics seems like an impossible task to you, or there are certain pieces of it you’re not sure about, please contact us today. Our coaches can help you create a system to begin tracking the most important numbers to your business – no matter where you’re starting from.

When we want to stay healthy, we schedule check-ups with our physicians.
If we want our cars to keep running smoothly for many years, we routinely take them to a qualified mechanic for tune-ups.
Using this same logic, if we want our businesses to perform well, and be successful, then regular business health checks with an experienced business coach are necessary.
Everyone has heard that it is extremely difficult and time-consuming to launch a new business, and that many of them do not make it past their first few years. It can be tempting to blame factors like competition or a tough economy when a business doesn’t last, but these are not often the most prominent reasons why small businesses go under.
In many cases, flaws within the basic business structure cause the organization to be weakened. The New York Times compiled a list of the top ten reasons small businesses fail, and these reasons included things like operational inefficiencies, lack of planning, and dysfunctional management, among others.
These are all issues that could be identified and addressed before it is too late, with the help of a thorough business assessment. They are also the types of issues that can be addressed and fixed with the right help in the form of business coaching.
You might be thinking that you do not have the time or the money to have a consultant come in and do an in-depth analysis and breakdown of your business.
Fortunately, Action Coach offers a basic business health check that can be completed very quickly, non-intrusively, and at no cost to your business.
During this assessment process, all you need to do is answer a few questions about your business. These questions will allow your business coach to examine issues such as how you manage your time, how well your team works together, how well your finances are being managed, and the efficiency and productivity of your organization’s systems.
The ultimate goal of a business health assessment is to identify ways that your business could better use its resources. These resources take the form of time, money and manpower. When your business makes even the smallest changes, if these resources are used more efficiently and effectively, this will increase the sustainability of the business.
After your business’ quick evaluation has been conducted, you will then get a free report based on your answers, prepared by our team of business coaches. After receiving your report, it may be a good idea to schedule a call with one of our business coaches to help you to understand where the most impactful improvements can be made.
Even well established companies understand the value of business health checks. Routine evaluations allow businesses to stay competitive and catch weaknesses before they become costly problems in the future.
If you would like to give your business the support that it needs to lead in your industry, schedule a free business health check and set the right tone for 2014. Show your team, and your competitors, that you are committed to continual improvement, and that you will look for new and innovative ways to grow and progress year after year.

Описание: You play as a fairly average American college student, ending his third year at the university. All your friends are talking about a summer internship opportunity they discovered. They figure, if you need to get some work experience during the break anyway, why not do it at a tropical resort? You submit your application, get accepted, and, when you arrive, find that it’s everything you could have imagined…but nothing you expected!
This is a minor update that includes the bug fix from the previous version as well as some new code intended to prevent a divide-by-zero error when calculating average work performance.

There was a nasty rumor in F4W a while back concerning Shocker negotiating with Pena. Now, while I highly doubt he’s jumping, it was enough to put me in a panic. Hey, maybe that’s what Bryan wants. Luckily, I subscribe to F4W, so I’ll have the scoop this weekend.
The Death Valley Driver folks were nice enough to provide a link to TCF.com in their link section, so they should be thanked.
Be back later with a look of how CMLL did in the WON awards.

I’m pretty sure no one thought Psygnosis would be Sony’s ace in the hole when they made the leap to console manufacturer. Not to downplay the many great games they’ve made over the years but around 94-95 I imagine most people still thought of them as the company that made the Lemmings games. However the move to 3-d allowed many developers to reinvent themselves and in the early days of polygonal graphics Psygnosis were responsible for some of the most creative titles in the PlayStation library. One title in particular exuded a level of style and visual polish virtually unheard of to that point and would be the example that all games in the futuristic racing genre would be compared against, Wipeout.
Prior to Wipeout there really weren’t too many entrants in this particular racing niche. F-Zero, Top Gear 3000, Crash and Burn, and Rock & Roll Racing were pretty much it outside of a few obscure outliers. While F-Zero would firmly establish the genre Wipeout would come to define it. This was one of the brightest stars of the PlayStation lineup during Christmas of 1995 and between its thumping techno soundtrack and excellent graphic design would go a long way toward establishing the nascent PlayStation as a credible contender in the hardware race.
Psygnosis teamed up with graphic design studio the Designer’s Republic to not only design the packaging and promotional art but its numerous logos as well. The game’s front end menus and various team logos are some of the slickest in the industry and lend its far flung future scenario an air of authenticity.
The anti-gravity racing league of the game is divided into four teams, each with two different ships to choose from. All ships are rated in terms of acceleration, top speed, mass, and turning with each team’s ships kind of falling into a beginner/advanced motif. The game’s six tracks follow the Mario Kart model of awarding points based on position, from first down to fifth place out of eight contestants. However if you don’t place within the top three you’ll have to use a continue to try again or quit and start over. Another similar feature are the touch panels scattered on the ground of each track which will award one of five weapons as they cycle through the icons. They’re a nice gesture and feature some spiffy special effects but don’t feel as well integrated as the sequels due to the uneven nature of the tracks.
The hovercraft you pilot never touch the ground and as such handle differently than you are expecting. They bob and weave on a cushion of air and as such are prone to the laws of gravity. Flying uphill without pointing your nose upward will result in a loss of speed while leaning into a hill will build momentum. For tight turns you’ll have to rely on the air brakes, which will take a lot longer than most gamers are accustomed to. This was released long before anyone conceived of the idea of a dual shock controller and as a result the control suffers from the PlayStation’s lame digital pad.
It can’t be stressed enough how important mastering the air brakes is to progressing in the game. The courses cover a range of terrain, from forests and industrialized zones to coastal seas and deep canyons. There are sharp corners at every turn and the standard racing game technique of lightly tapping the accelerator simply does not apply here; you can look forward to slamming into every wall if you try. Leaning into the turn in advance will net the best results but it will take a while to attain any sort of familiarity with the system.
Between the game’s digital controls and its unforgiving air breaking the original Wipeout is one of the toughest racing games you’ll likely come across. There is next to no margin for error as you’ll likely never even see the first place driver’s trail if you crash into two or three walls. Crashing will force you into a complete stop and it takes a few seconds to build back up to speed, seconds you can’t afford to lose. You’ll have to memorize every corner and speed bump to ever hope to advance. Replaying tracks until you’ve learned their layout is standard procedure for any game but for some reason it feels like a fruitless endeavor due to how finicky the air brakes can be. The steep learning curve means you’ll definitely get your money’s worth but the game could have been more forgiving to ease you into its mechanics.
Wipeout was one of the brightest graphical highlights of 1995 but some of its visual luster has been lost over the ensuing years. The draw distance is very short with the latter half of each track practically assembling before your eyes. Through the use of some smart texture work the game has a clean look devoid of the heavy pixelation of pre-N64 games. The game’s soundtrack features a range of the UK’s most popular techno artists and enhances the game’s undulating courses with bass heavy beats that perfectly accentuate the on screen action. The sound effects on the other hand are heavily subdued and are nearly inaudible outside of the voice work announcing each weapon.
For its time Wipeout was the most advanced racing game available outside of the arcade. But like most early 3d efforts it has been eclipsed by its far superior sequels. The lack of a dedicated multiplayer mode (you need a link cable, two copies of the game and two TVs. Yeah) and its punishing difficulty means you’re better off picking up Wipeout XL or 3 instead.

St Kilda v Brisbane - The Good, Bad and Ugly — The Mongrel Punt Become a Patron!
The Lions had a terrible year, but they lost when it mattered – right at the end of the season. In the 2017 wooden-spoon clash, the Lions did the right thing and allowed North Melbourne to claim a win. In doing so, they gained the number one draft pick. They also added a veteran to bolster their defensive stocks in Luke Hodge, and a young goalsneak to bolster the forward half. It wasn’t enough to get past the Saints.
St Kilda needed to win here. While other teams will have an excuse if they lose (Adelaide with injuries, Carlton playing the premiers), the Saints were expected to win. It was toward the end of quarters that they demonstrated their class, and maturity to get the win over the Lions by 25 points.
I’m not a fan of crumby moustaches, but I’ll give Steven a pass. His run, hardness, and more than anything, his consistency en route to picking up 34 touches, 10 marks and 2 goals led the Saints. He could’ve had three goals but allowed the ball to bounce through for debutant, Ben Long.
You think the Hawks couldn’t have used another year of Hodge patrolling the defensive fifty? His play down back was integral in setting the Lions up. At points, the Sainst struggled to penetrate the Lion defence, and a fair bit of credit must go to Hodge here. He was forever barking instructions and organising teammates.
What was excellent was his body work. His one on one contest with Jack Billings in the second quarter was a genuine highlight. As they chased after a loose ball in the Saints forward line, Hodge shifted his weight into Billings and knocked him over. He was then able to gather the ball and aid the Lions in clearing the zone.
Charlie Cameron was excellent up forward. He finished with three goals, but it was his clean hands that were most impressive. There are those players who are natural footballers, and Cameron is just that. He one grabbed ground-balls and looked very lively all game.
Cam Rayner managed to snap his first goal in league footy, but didn’t have a pronounced influence. In a first game, he was serviceable, but he was no Dean Polo – look it up.
I am a big fan of Billings, and think he could kick 40-50 goals as a forward if he spent more time patrolling the fifty. He finds the ball so easily, and uses it well. Not only did he kick two goals in the first quarter, he was also responsible for the direct assist to Hunter Clark for his first.
The question mark around Billings has been his accuracy in front of goals. He kicked 23.36 in 2017 and will be hell-bent on correcting that this season. Kicking 2.3 today… I guess we’ll wait and see.
The St Kilda defence had the number of Eric Hipwood and Josh Walker all day. Relying on Charlie Cameron to not only kick goals, but also be their marking target, Brisbane showed that they have very little faith in their talls to a) beat their opponent, and b) break even in contests.
In addition, the inability of Hipwood to stick a tackle is a concern. Built like a particularly think toothpick, he has a bit of work to do to be able to restrain the bigger bodies that oppose him. Whilst I am sure Brisbane has visions of Hipwood becoming the next Joe Daniher, perhaps a role where he leads up the ground more might suit until he can hold his own in contests more often?
They did have to deal with quality defenders like Jake Carlisle, Nathan Brown and Dylan Roberton… so maybe that’s why they failed to produce?
It appears to be a bit of an issue to me when you have this old bloke as your last line of defence. Yes, he’s a champion of the game, and yes you’d back him a lot of the time, but at his age, he’s not going to be able to do the improbable and single-handedly combat attacks.
Hodge plays the floating role as well as anyone, and he has a Norm Smith medal for doing it on the biggest stage. If he’s gonna teach some Lions about defensive structures, he needs to have them closer to help a poor old guy out.
The Lions missed Rich’s kicking off the half back line. His ankle injury looked a little nasty, but hopefully isn’t too serious. I was hoping to see him return,. All strapped up and ready to unleash some long bombs down to the Lion forwards. Alas, he remained on the bench – not a great sign.
The Lions would be kicking themselves for the way they allowed the Lions to score with the clock ticking down. Giving up three shots to the Saints as time ticked away in the third quarter. Jack Steven banged through a goal, then McCartin hooked one badly out on the full. Moments later, the Lions botched a kick-in and Steven kicked another goal with eight seconds remaining.
The Lions need to get better at shutting it down as quarters need their conclusion, but at times it appeared as though they were running out of gas quicker than their St Kilda counterparts.
This has the potential to get out of hand. This free kick went to Dayne Beams. He was struggling to get the ball onto his boot as he was tackled. As he was falling, he swung around to kick at the ball, missed, and was taken to ground in a natural tackling motion. It looked like dropping the ball,. No - free kick to Dayne Beams for a dangerous tackle!
It was garbage. The only other option the tackler had was to allow Beams to kick the ball unimpeded, and that is not in the spirit of the game. The line between a good tackle and a dangerous tackle is a fine one. This decision stumbled over the line awkwardly.
It was a bright start, with Paddy kicking the first goal of the year for the Saints. I received a text from a friend soon after stating “Only 99 to go”.
You might be waiting a while. Earlyon, he looked as though he was handling a bar of soap as opposed to a football, and when he did get the ball in a two-on-one situation, he tried as hard as he could to stuff it up before Hodge gave a free kick to Josh Bruce.
In another instance, and perhaps it was telling, Jack Steven broke out of the centre and had McCartin open inside fifty. He didn’t pass it off. He beat a tackle and set sail for home. The end may justify the means here, as Steven slammed home the goal, but Mccartin hardly moved from the spot he was standing, waiting for the ball.
There’ll come a time this season the Saints will need more from McCartin. They’ll expect him to step up and do something to aid them win a close game, but it’s unfair to expect that when they don’t go to him in situations like we saw today.
Jarrod Berry – he just finds the ball and finds it in the right spot. 3 goals to match Charlie Cameron for the Lions but it was the way he found space that was impressive.
Tim Membrey’s return of 2.3 could’ve easily been more. He is a beautiful reader of the ball in flight. If given space, he will hurt a lot of teams this year.
I’m not sure whether it was the Saints reading it extraordinarily well, or the Lions hacking it forward, but in the second quarter it seemed as though Brisbane was kicking it only to Brisbane players as they crossed the centre. Lower your eyes!
I think it may have been the longest score review I’ve seen to determine whether the ball grazed the behind post or went through for a behind. Why’d it take so bloody long?
Finally, the game of Jack Steele will probably not get a lot of plaudits. I really rate Dane Zorko. He’s a workhorse and tackles like a demon. Steele sacrificed his game to nullify him. The result? Zorko had 14 touches. Last season he averaged 21.4. Great tagging job.
Allen Christensen's return to footy was more than welcome. Great to see him out there again. Looked like he was genuinely having a ball in the first quarter in particular.

Annual reviews and even an event debrief can be a vulnerable spot to be in if you are the one being reviewed. Most of us would like to believe that we are open to criticism and that we can accept it with the grace and dignity of the Dalai Lama himself. But let's face it, how we accept our "challenges" or "areas for growth" can have a lot to do with all kinds of very human factors.
Here are three quick tips for sharing feedback!
The person giving the feedback can have a huge impact on how it is received. If you are just a participant or someone on the side watching, it's best not to provide constructive feedback unless asked to do so. You have no idea what went into a task or situation and while you may mean well your "help" may not be well received. If you are the person, who is responsible for giving a critique of the performance, make sure you are speaking from a place of expertise and knowledge. It's difficult for a receiver to accept information from someone who hasn't been at the table and knows what was overcome or tackled in the total process. If you are not sure of the daily ins and outs, it's best to start off by asking and getting yourself up to speed before sharing your own thoughts and ideas.
Giving feedback is definitely a timing issue! Giving a summary of events can be ill received if provided at the wrong time. Immediately following a task or event may not always be the best time especially if the task was a long difficult one that may have left the individual(s) feeling like an old used up dish rag. Wait until the smoke or at least the fog clears. The receiver needs to have had some time to self-evaluate and process the event or task on their own. If time allows, wait a few days if not a week to share your thoughts. This will allow the receiver to be rested and in a better mental place to accept and take in feedback.
Are you delivering information in a tactful and supportive way or have you dropped it down on someone's head like a flock of geese heading south, spraying them with a litany of corrections to be made? Giving feedback should be done with a high level of thought beforehand. Sure it can be vomited out in the moment and at the speed of automatic gun fire but the results will be anything but positive. In education, teachers are taught the Sandwich Method which basically has the criticism sprinkled before and after with compliments. While this is an effective technique it can be so predictive that the receiver rarely hears the compliments as they wait for the other shoe to drop.
A better technique is one that looks at the whole situation, acknowledges the challenges going on, the areas that were overcome, as well as includes possible solutions. If solutions don't immediately exist, give the individual(s) reassurance that the "team" will search for one. No one should be an island to accept and shoulder blame. If so, we've been using the word "team" incorrectly.
The bottom line is feedback is incredibly useful and it's what makes good people and organizations -great! What we need to remember in its delivery is that feedback makes others vulnerable and a person's natural reaction is to swing to the defensive. While most of us remain professional and don't throw a tantrum when we are told we could have done better, we still can feel wounded if feedback is given in a less than effective way.
Wounded employees can become disengaged employees very quickly. It's not about handling employees with kid gloves because we are all responsible for how we choose to move forward. Yet, giving any level of feedback comes with responsibility and it should be done with better awareness. It's important for a healthy organization to make sure it's employees feel as though they are supported and appreciated by really thinking through how, when and by whom feedback will be given.

Sarah Pankratz will never forget the ominous sight of six billowing columns of smoke rising from the hills surrounding her hometown of Williams Lake. It was July 2017, she was home barely a week from medical school and was looking forward to a quiet summer. She had spent the previous year as a third-year Southern Medical Program student training at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.
Forget the quiet summer. The very next day, a provincial state of emergency was declared as wildfires raged across British Columbia.
Before medical school, she had worked four summers as an initial attack wildfire fighter for BC Wildfire Service. Jumping out of helicopters and tackling new fires in the remote wilderness was in her wheelhouse. She had also had worked and trained as a paramedic. Fighting fires is also somewhat of family business, as both Pankratz’s father and brother have served as fire fighters in the Williams Lake area.
As the fires intensified in the region, a call for help came from the nearby 150 Mile House fire department. The small community needed to evacuate and all available resources were being recruited.
Pankratz couldn’t just watch from the sidelines. She joined the fire department to help with wildfire containment and evacuation efforts. Dreams of her quiet summer disappeared into the thick smoke hovering over the region.
At 11 p.m., an emergency call came in for an elderly man experiencing respiratory distress. All ambulances in the area were busy assisting with other calls, so Pankratz joined another firefighter and responded to the call. Together, they treated the patient before he was transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake.
Just days later, the entire town of Williams Lake and the hospital were evacuated. Pankratz remembers how stressful it was for the community, including her family members, who had to leave on short notice.
With the region’s evacuation order in place, Pankratz worked sixteen-hour shifts as part of the 150 Mile House fire department patrolling the community looking for fire hot spots. She began to notice something disturbing. There was a growing number of animals abandoned in the rush to evacuate.
Of the 500 plus properties in the area, Pankratz estimates 1,400 chickens, 1,000 rabbits and numerous goats, horses, cattle, cats, dogs and sheep needed help. The fire department designated one of their fire engines to assist and dubbed it ‘Paw Patrol,’ after the popular children’s TV show.
Pankratz coordinated the supplies for the entire community, delivered bales of hay by fire engine and even took turns feeding rescued kittens by syringe. A total of three litters where rescued during the fire.
The fires continued to burn and even when the intense emergency over, her adrenaline-charged summer was unrelenting. With two weeks remaining of her supposed summer vacation, Pankratz was recruited to work as a helicopter base manager in Williams Lake for the Cariboo Fire District. As summer dwindled away, she was busy helping to coordinate machine and work resources for the continued wildfire fighting effort in the region.
Her final workday was a Sunday. The next day, she woke up as a fourth-year medical student ready to begin a general surgery rotation, coincidentally in Williams Lake. One of her first jobs, was to actually assist with a surgery for a member of the community she had provided first aid to just weeks earlier.
Throughout their training, medical students strive to embrace the CanMEDS competencies. Designed by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the guidelines encourage students to embrace the role of medical expert in addition to being a professional, communicator, collaborator, leader, health advocate and scholar.
It was these guiding principles that Pankratz continued to draw upon throughout the summer she’ll never forget.
Pankratz continues her path as family medicine resident with the Coastal-North Vancouver site this summer. She’s hoping to enjoy a bit more peace and quiet than last year.

Hello and thanks for joining me on my blogger journey!
So, here I am again starting another creative platform. I’m a huge fan of blogs and recently I’ve found myself thrust into the blogger community. I had no expectations of setting up a blog, but with an endless summer season ahead of me, and too much time on my mind, combined with a lurking preview of stress, I decided to go for it.
I have no idea what I’m doing. Both you and I are going to be newbies on this platform, discovering HTML codes, the world of Google Analytics, and how to be viral on Pinterest. Even getting to type up this post has taken me quite a long time and a lot of technology induced meltdowns. But, my goal here is to share my knowledge, my thoughts, and everything in between.
Moreover, I’m so glad you stumbled upon this page. If you’re here for thirty seconds looking at pictures, or five hours browsing through all of my content, thank-you. I hope to change the world one day, and if it’s through my best makeup tips for people with combination skin, or through an article detailing global issues, so be it.
I’m happy I started this platform, and it’s given me a space to express myself beyond the minutes of iMovie and instagram filters. I’m learning something new everyday, and I hope this blog can enhance you in anyway you deem necessary.
If you’ve made it to the end of this long introduction, here’s my best advice for you today: do not be so hard on yourself. You are a precious being who grows at your own pace, and one day you will thrive among others. So, get comfortable, and settle into the Sunflower Room, where everyone has the opportunity to grow.

We all need a bit of help sometimes and especially when it comes to what we should be eating. It is such an essential part of living, after all, and getting stuck in our ways of eating seems just as natural as getting stuck in our ways of breathing or sleeping. You don’t know how to do it differently because you’ve never tried - and attempting it without any guidance is going to be quite tough.
That’s why so many people struggle with losing weight and eating differently; we eat to survive, after all, and if we stop eating the amount we used to, our minds will be quite quick to conclude that we’re having a few problems with surviving.
Here is a quick handful of tips to help you with reaching your weight loss goals and eat healthier without feeling deprived or as if you’re going through a famine. It just makes it a bit easier to follow through with your promises and look forward to a much slimmer you by the end of this year.
Proteins, delicious proteins, will help you to both feel full and healthy for a lot longer. A lot of us tend to fill up on carbs instead, though, and it makes sense as our hungry bodies appreciate the fast calories we get from it. A large doughnut will surely fill you up with lots of sugar and calories you can use as you’re trying to survive - but staying alive isn’t really as difficult as it used to be.
Consciously, we may know very well that a doughnut won’t do us any good but it’s difficult to convince your reptile brain about this. It wants fast calories and lots of sugar so that you can escape in case someone should attack and your main task is, above everything, to fight this instinct.
Give yourself protein instead and teach your body to be a bit more patient in terms of calories. You will feel full and satisfied from chicken and eggs as well, after all, but it will just take a bit longer than if you gave in and ate that doughnut.
Sure, you’ve probably heard that drinking water will help you to feel full for a bit longer and beat that afternoon craving but what about eating water instead? Fruits and vegetables are definitely your best friends when it comes to healthy snacking and you should fill your lunch box up with carrots, celery, apples, and everything else that tastes good and makes you feel great.
If you pack a small portion of hummus or natural yoghurt as well, you’ve suddenly created a very appetizing meal for yourself. Try to find other ways to stay full for a bit longer too, though; this keto diet challenge is designed to succeed and you might find that losing weight and staying healthy tastes a lot better than you used to think.
Now all you need to do is to get rid of all of those unhealthy snacks at home, surround yourself with colourful vegetables, and look forward to a much slimmer you in a few months.
This year I just want to maintain my weight.

How to open file with Q2Q extension?
The Q2Q file extension belongs to the category Plugin Files. The extended name of this file format is Flexify Photoshop Plug-in. Below is a list of programs that support files with this extension. Just download one of them, then double click on the Q2Q file, which did not want to open and manually select the program installed by default. The Q2Q file should open now without any problem.
It can also happen that, despite the installation of one of the following programs, your Q2Q file will still return an error when you try to run it. In such a case, refer to the next part of our article, where we present solutions to most problems that may occur when you try to work with the new file extension, which is the Q2Q.
Right-click the Q2Q file that we want to open, then clicking the option "Open with"
In this case, the solution may be to find another copy of the Q2Q file, to ask for another copy of it (if you got it from another person), or to try to download it again from the internet.
In this case, you must associate the Q2Q file with the application either by selecting the application (information here) or manually (information here).
The application for supporting the Q2Q file has not been entirely installed.
Your computer does not have sufficient resources to the currently open the Q2Q file.
We install all the drivers that are needed to run the application that supports the Q2Q file.
Most of the items on the registry concerning the Q2Q file are added automatically during installation of the program/application. In some situations, the user himself has to create a new registry entry, and type in the appropriate value. This method can be used to associate a file type with an existing application. Then locate the ProgID of the application in the registry. To access the Windows registry editor - click "Start", type "regedit", and then press ENTER.
To associate the Q2Q file type with the new application, you must define the ProgID for a particular application and if you want to get information on defining a new ProgID, you should see the program identifiers. For information about file extensions and its associations with applications look in the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .
Have you ever got a file that you could not open? Probably the situation was that it had an extension not used before on your computer, e.g. Q2Q. Such a situation could also take place with other extensions, but it always ended the same - giving you a headache when determining which program should be used to properly open the file.
Typically, Windows has the appropriate software to open the Q2Q file or just preview its contents. Often, however, there is no such software, and then we need to identify what kind of file it is, and download the appropriate software to support it.

Sergio Aguero may have split from Diego Maradona's daughter earlier this year but the Argentina legend has still backed the Manchester City striker to join Real Madrid.
Maradona also believes Aguero's presence in the Madrid team could help get even more out of the club's top goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Aguero signed for City during the 2011 summer transfer window from Atletico Madrid for £38million but Maradona is backing him to head back to the Spanish capital.
He said: 'Kun is the solution for the future of Madrid, and Ronaldo, the perfect complement.
'Sergio is pure movement, while (Karim) Benzema and Pipit (Gonzalo Higuain) are two tanks who can split the defence, yes, but they collide with Ronaldo.
Aguero has taken steps to deny he wants to leave the Barclays Premier League champions this summer but Maradona is excited by the potential of his former son-in-law hooking up with Ronaldo in La Liga.
And he also believes his compatriot would enjoy moving away from the grey skies of Manchester.
He said: 'It would be spectacular. I keep seeing in Madrid, although it is true that right now he is very happy at City, very happy at the club.
It was confirmed Aguero has split with his wife Giannina, Maradona's youngest daughter, after a four-year marriage, in January.
Giannina is now believed to be living in Madrid with their three-year-old son Benjamin after confirming the news on Twitter.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition. But heating pads, warm showers, paraffin baths, and a capsaicin ointment can ease pain. Adopt a Mediterranean diet and incorporate anti-inflammatory fish oil, borage or primrose oil, ginger, green tea, and turmeric into your daily diet. Tai chi and yoga can also help.
Osteoarthritis may be incurable but a combination of conventional medication and alternative therapy can offer relief from pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. Herbs such as capsaicin, ginger, Indian frankincense, and turmeric can be included in your diet directly or as supplements. A regular exercise regimen including strengthening and aerobic exercises and yoga will keep you mobile. In addition to eating healthy to fight arthritis from the inside, plan your diet based on Ayurvedic principles. Acupuncture, massage therapy, and thermotherapy can also help.
Turmeric can reduce pain, joint swelling, and stiffness and improve function in those osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Curcumin in turmeric has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that inhibit inflammatory pathways in the body, lower oxidative stress, prevent cartilage damage, and aid cartilage regeneration.
Glucosamine, a chemical that’s naturally present in your body, plays an important part in building ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and the fluid that surrounds and cushions your joints. Glucosamine supplementation may improve conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, both of which are characterized by stiff and painful joints. It may also ease symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, minimize relapse in multiple sclerosis, help wounds heal, and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
Arthritis is a painful condition that can debilitate and stop you from doing the simplest everyday activities. Apart from the conventional medicine, and instead of getting addicted to painkillers, you can use essential oils to treat all types of arthritis. The essential oils that effectively treat and reduce arthritis are frankincense, myrrh, orange, ginger, peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, ginger, chamomile, and wintergreen oil.
Ginger essential oil is a popular anti-inflammatory oil known to ease joint pain. Basil, nutmeg, and jujube essential oils are useful if you're dealing with swelling and discomfort. If your joints and skin feel warm, try peppermint oil for a cooling effect. Rosemary can also revitalize the limbs when they're feeling stiff and hurting. To make an arthritis rub, dilute 5 to 10 drops of essential oils in 1 tablespoon carrier oil.
Borax, a popular remedy in traditional and herbal medicine, is used to treat sores, swelling, menstrual problems, and UTIs. Reports of its benefits for inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis sound promising. But with possible risks to kidney function and restrictions on use during pregnancy, it may not be the remedy it’s cracked up to be for everyone.
You can avoid a gout attack by staying away from foods high in purine. Stay away from seafood like sardines, anchovies, tuna, and haddock. Organ meats like kidney and liver are high in purine. Red meats such as pork and beef are also bad news. If you drink alcohol, ditch the beer and limit other kinds of booze. Anything with high-fructose corn syrup can also your risk of gout pain. These include sugary drinks, candy, and white bread.
Fish oil's benefits are due to its omega-3 fats that lower triglycerides and the bad cholesterol, reduce anxiety and prevent Alzheimer's, and lower cancer risk of the breast, colon, and prostate. They can also replace the anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat arthritis. If you're diabetic or on blood-thinners, avoid fish oil. If you are not, take it with antioxidants in a dose not more than 3 g a day unless so advised by your doctor.
Certain foods can worsen the rheumatoid arthritis inflammation that leads to joint pain. So here is a rogue’s gallery of the worst offenders in the pantry!
Long-distance running doesn't stress the knee joints greatly or hike the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) as it involves longer strides and a short ground contact. In fact, running over 1.2 miles a day lowers the risk by 15 percent, by reducing weight and fortifying the muscles, joints, and cartilages. But accompanied by factors like poor running form, injuries, OA genes, or osteoporosis, it may raise your risk.

In today’s expanding world of technology, creating a website will not guarantee that traffic actually comes to it. It’s important that all business owners and managers have an understanding of what internet marketing is especially search engine optimization. Ultimately understanding this term and having an SEO Campaign performed can help your business grow to the next level. When organic search engine optimization is performed successfully, people on the Internet can find the product or service you sell within your targeted market.
With the shopping trends people prefer to shop on the Internet to avoid the sales pitch. They find comfort in shopping on their hours. When your website is optimized correctly potential customers can find the product or service you sell within the search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing pretty quickly. A business selling locally, regionally or nationally can benefit tremendously from an SEO plan, as it helps put your company in the right place at the right time.
If you do not have a marketing strategy currently in place, you face the challenge of NOT getting a return of investment on your SEO or website design. Often times, having a plan isn’t enough- execution is required so you can gain the exposure needed to become an industry leader. Remember, Internet shoppers do not always know the name of a company selling a product or service they are shopping for.
When you run a company, it is easy to forget what it’s like to be a new shopper. We often think that online shoppers will find products like we do. This unfortunately is not the case. Think of your website as a hidden treasure. To find the treasure people have to know about it first and in most cases, there is a map to the hidden treasure. The same thing goes with a website. The website should be structured and created for the end user who will be purchasing a product or service. All websites need to have valuable information to help the visitor to want to buy the product and service from you versus your competitor. At Big Red SEO, we are often asked how someone would find your business or website in the first place. It’s really simple- they need a map! When someone is shopping for an item, they may know name or brand of the product, but they more than likely do not know your company name. This is common because shoppers typically don’t know what the company name or which store is carrying the product, unless it is a well-established brand or company.
Turn to Big Red SEO in Omaha for All Your SEO Needs!
SEO can help when people do not search for the name of your company. Having a solid website with rich, unique content and profitable keywords can increase the chances of someone finding your product or service. If you need help with a website design or marketing campaign, we can help. Our Omaha SEO team is a great resource for all those seeking more exposure online. We are truly the best when it comes to educating our clients and giving them the power over their websites.

Anyone researching Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ:SIFY) might want to consider the historical volatility of the share price. Modern finance theory considers volatility to be a measure of risk, and there are two main types of price volatility. The first type is company specific volatility. Investors use diversification across uncorrelated stocks to reduce this kind of price volatility across the portfolio. The second sort is caused by the natural volatility of markets, overall. For example, certain macroeconomic events will impact (virtually) all stocks on the market.
Zooming in on Sify Technologies, we see it has a five year beta of 1.76. This is above 1, so historically its share price has been influenced by the broader volatility of the stock market the market. Based on this history, investors should be aware that Sify Technologies are likely to rise strongly in times of greed, but sell off in times of fear. Beta is worth considering, but it’s also important to consider whether Sify Technologies is growing earnings and revenue. You can take a look for yourself, below.
Could SIFY’s size cause it to be more volatile?
Sify Technologies is a noticeably small company, with a market capitalisation of US$217m. Most companies this size are not always actively traded. It has a relatively high beta, suggesting it is fairly actively traded for a company of its size.

Google's top searches of the year is more than a simple list. The top ten reflects the concerns, hopes and aspirations of the people who use the search engine and it can even point to the future.
And 2018's list is food for thought. Bollywood and football dominate the trends, with this year's World Cup claiming top spot. The tournament was held in Russia and saw France triumph over a spirited Croatian side.
Cricket-mad UAE netizens handed the Indian Premier League the second-most searched for term, while Bollywood also featured strongly.
Sridevi Kapoor was the third-most searched entry. Known simply as Sridevi, she was one of India's top film actresses and died of accidental drowning in her bathtub at Emirates Towers hotel in Dubai this February. She was was just 54. Sridevi was followed in fourth place by another Bollywood superstar, Priyanka Chopra. Chopra is one of India's highest-paid stars and her recent marriage to American pop star Nick Jonas will have played a role in her search position.
The Passport Index came in fifth and this should be no surprise. The Emirati passport has surged up the rankings this year and is now the world's most powerful passport according to the index, which ranks the document based on the number of countries a holder can enter without a visa or by obtaining one on arrival. UAE passport holders can now travel to to 167 countries without the need for any pre-visa paperwork.
Google compiles the lists based on search terms that had the highest spike in 2018 when compared with the previous year. It also compiles other lists from culture to public figures.
In terms of cinema, the American superhero story Black Panther was 2018's most searched for movie, followed by Avengers Infinity War and Indian thriller Race 3.
Turning to those in the public eye, Meghan Markle was the most-searched for public figure of the year. The American actress married the UK's Prince Harry in May this year in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle and her appearance at the top of Google's public figure charts shows the enduring but inexplicable interest in the British royal family.
Markle was followed by Nick Jonas, boosted no doubt by his marriage to Chopra, while in third place was Logan Paul. Paul is something of an internet celebrity but became embroiled in an unseemly controversy at the start of the year. YouTube cut business ties with Paul after he posted a video showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan.
Despite Egypt's poor showing at the World Cup, the team's star Mohamed Salah shone bright and he came seventh on the public figure list.
Other popular searches during the year included Bitcoin, the hugely popular online game Fornite and the Indian currency rate.
And finally, the Federal Tax Authority came in eighth on the list of most searched for terms - reflecting the landmark introduction of VAT across the UAE on January 1 and the concern felt by all people about their finances and their future.

Our products are available to order directly from Intelligent Fingerprinting and various distributors worldwide.
The Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System is competitively priced to align with market expectations and individual customer requirements. Please contact us for a quotation.
What makes Intelligent Fingerprinting unique in the market?
Intelligent Fingerprinting has developed the world’s first portable, fingerprint-based drug testing system, which provides a quick and easy, non-invasive and dignified alternative to traditional point-of-care drug testing. The system is currently available for forensic use only in the US.
Why should I switch to the Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System?
Please note that the system is currently available for forensic use only in the US.
How does the Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System work?
Our fingerprint drug test works by detecting target drugs and drug metabolites contained within the tiny traces of sweat in fingerprints. Drug metabolites are substances produced by the body when it processes (metabolizes) drugs.
It takes less than a minute to collect the fingerprint sweat sample onto a small, tamper-evident cartridge. The cartridge is then analyzed by the portable Reader 1000 to provide a screening result for each drug group in the test in minutes.
Find out more in Technology.
Fingerprint-based drug screening is quick, hygienic and simple. Fingerprint sample collection takes seconds and is non-invasive and dignified.
The portable Reader 1000 – which is used to read the Drug Screening Cartridge – is operated via a touchscreen and features simple visual prompts. On-screen results are available in minutes and can be printed via the label printer accessory.
Which drugs does it detect?
Our 4-panel Drug Screening Cartridge (DSC-2) detects cannabis, cocaine, opiates, and methamphetamines. Other test panels are in development.
The Reader 1000 provides a presumptive positive or negative screening result for each drug group in the test.
How quick is the test?
Collection of the fingerprint samples onto the Drug Screening Cartridge takes seconds. Analysis of the Cartridge using the Reader 1000 takes only a few minutes.
How reliable is fingerprint drug screening?
The accuracy of Intelligent Fingerprinting drug screening tests is comparable to other point-of-care drug screening tests such as those using urine and oral fluid samples. Our UKAS-accredited drug screening cartridges provide an initial screening result. This means that when our screening system indicates a positive result, this is known as a ‘presumptive positive’.
What does it mean if the Reader 1000 gives a positive result?
The Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening Cartridge and Reader 1000 provide a presumptive result only. This means that when the Reader 1000 provides a positive screening result, it cannot be automatically assumed that the person tested has taken the drug(s) indicated. In circumstances where a positive screening result is obtained and an evidential result is required, the customer will need to verify the result using our fingerprint-based laboratory Confirmatory Analysis service.
Which regulatory approvals do you have?
Research & Development, Manufacturing Facilities and Operations for our drug screening products meet stringent validation criteria which comply with ISO 13485 standard for In Vitro Diagnostic Devices and Medical Devices in addition to ISO 9001:2015.
We have regulatory oversight of our sub-contracted reference laboratories where our methodology has gained accreditation with the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), who ensure that the laboratory operates in accordance with the ISO 17025 standard.
Do you have FDA approval?
We are in dialogue with the FDA and are currently preparing the products for submission for FDA 510(k) approval. Our Confirmation Test Cartridge is a registered FDA medical product, and our production site in the UK is FDA registered.

“Shirley [1942-2016]” is a heartfelt eulogy, delivered without words but with plenty of soul. The instrumental EP is a tribute from Chris Russ ‘15, also known as faruhdey of the Outsiders, to his late grandmother, Mrs. Shirley Russ. Crafted in the weeks just before and after her passing, the project spins wistful soul samples with personal nostalgia, giving new life to a beautiful memory.
With the help of his mother, Pandora radio stations and online blogs, he’s amassed a huge collection of potential samples, writing to me recently that he has 275 songs on his “shortlist.” He’s also had a big hand from his friend and mentor Kevin “Moose” Anderson, a local radio DJ in Russ’s native Hampton, Virginia. Mrs. Russ stuck to gospel, which isn’t as explicitly present in Russ’s work, but the emotional weight and feeling of his grandmother’s music pervades everything he does.
The tape is nostalgic, not only in its allusions to bygone artists from the sixties and seventies, but in its old school approach to production. Russ’s style may be familiar to most as a throwback to the sound popularized by Kanye West’s “College Dropout,” with sped up soul samples providing the main thrust behind his beats. He goes to show that you don’t need stacks of synths or booming bass lines to make a good beat. All you need is a good sample and the refined taste to chop it just right.
Perhaps it’s this old style that gives the outro, “Wait Luther,” the same triumphant feeling of closure that I get from tracks like legendary producer J Dilla’s own swan song, “Last Donut Of The Night.” This track is also noteworthy because Russ samples piano tracks from his frequent collaborator Tyler Brooks ‘16 (EAGLEBABEL of the Outsiders) to lend a dynamic and jazzy feel to the stuttering interplay between boom bap drums and a heavily chopped soul sample. On the other hand, tracks like the minimalist, swelling “West Gilbert Street” and the heavily reversed “Supply & Demand” place less emphasis on sample selection, allowing Russ’s own beat manipulation to shine on its own right.
In the end, it’s impossible to consider this album divorced from the context of its creation. Russ credits his grandmother for much of who he is today, both as an artist and as a person. It’s appropriate, then, that “Shirley” is a powerful declaration of his own maturity, vision and skill — a reflection of where he is today, created with due respect for the woman who helped him get there.

As a Houston native who no longer has a home theme park, I am always on the lookout for anything entertaining or exciting coming to the area. As the fourth largest city in the U.S., there are a lot of people here who crave an amusement park and sadly, we're left with three to four hour drives to San Antonio or Dallas if we want thrills.
I can tell you right now that there is a market for rides and amusements here. Every year that the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo comes in to town with their Carnival, that place gets PACKED. The Rodeo as a whole drew a record attendance last year of over 2.2 million people. While not all of this is because of the carnival, the Rodeo hosts things like live shows and concerts that an amusement park would have. Houstonians flock to the carnival to get their fix of rides and games. I have waited in long lines and maneuvered through crowds the past couple of years and can tell you that although we no longer have a theme park, we still have a desire for one.
Now located 45 minutes from Houston is Galveston, a nice island on the Gulf that serves as a retreat for locals and a home for others. I know a lot of friends that own vacation homes and beach houses for weekend trips to the island. The market in Galveston, just like Houston, craves fun attractions. The island is already host to a Schlitterbahn Water Park and the Moody Gardens, an educational and recreational park with signature glass pyramids. And coming this May is the all-new Pleasure Pier. With the addition of the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, Galveston is starting to become a real destination. We're talking a weekend stay to a weeklong stay upgrade. These pre-existing attractions paired with the beach and the new pier will make for a very fun vacation.
The man behind the Pleasure Pier is none other than Landry’s CEO Tilman Fertitta, a man who I look up to greatly. In the past, Fertitta has created great attractions such as Houston’s Downtown Aquarium, the Kemah Boardwalk, and various themed restaurants. If I had to pick anyone to revitalize the pier, which had been home to the Flagship Hotel until after hurricane Ike, I would firstly choose Fertitta. He knows what he’s doing and knows how to make a successful, fun, and entertaining attraction.
The pier’s lineup includes various flat rides, a 100 ft. Euro Fighter coaster, a log flume, a 230ft. Star Flyer, and a LED lit Ferris wheel. Sounds good to me. If you’re given a long, generally small portion of land (in this case, a pier) and are going to turn it into an amusement park, you are going to have to use the space to it’s absolute full potential. Do I believe Fertitta has done that? Definitely yes. If you take a look at the rendering it is actually pretty hard to see detail but you can tell that it is packed with numerous amusements. While the majority of the rides are your standard carnival flats, I respect Fertitta’s decision to use these rides’ small footprint in order to pack as many thrills onto the pier as possible. But he realized that you cannot simply have these. He knew there needed to be highlight attractions such as the Euro Fighter, log flume, star flyer, and Ferris wheel mentioned above. I believe the pier has a balanced variety of all sorts of thrills, which is perfect.
The pier has kept its Facebook page updated and from what I can tell, everyone is all onboard. Looks like everybody is just as excited as I am to welcome this new attraction to Galveston. I will be covering the pier’s opening in the near future so stay tuned for pictures and more reports later.
Theres no doubt that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has had an enormous impact on the Amusement Industry as a whole. For the past two years I have heard constantly about how the Wizarding World has “Set new standards”; “is a breakthrough in attraction technology”;“has redefined the amusement industry”. I personally didn't want to make a judgement until I had experienced the land on my own. Last weekend I was given just that opportunity. Would the Wizarding World of Harry Potter live up to its hype?
It is very rare that I walk out of a land in a theme park completely blown away. Don't get me wrong, I love almost every park I go to, but these days it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to theme parks. I am glad to say that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter completely amazed me.
I have never read a Harry Potter book or seen a Harry Potter movie. So I can tell you that as I walked towards the Wizarding World of Harry Potter I wasn't really expecting to like it that much. I really couldn't foresee how someone like myself who never even cared about Harry Potter in the first place would be able to enjoy an attraction, let alone whole land based off a book and movie franchise I had never really cared about. Universal surely proved me wrong on this one!
On the day of my visit I arrived about 30 minutes before opening. As soon at the gates opened I immediately headed straight towards the Wizarding World (Due to the popularity of this area, lines get extremely long during the day!). I hadn't been to Universal Orlando in over two years. (In fact the last time I was at Universal Orlando, I recall walking through a maze of construction walls to get to Dueling Dragons.) So as I passed through the other areas of the park on the way to the Wizarding World, I really didn't know what to expect.
The entrance to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a looked unassuming enough. It was a simple stone archway found at the end of the Lost Continent area of the park. Without knowing what to expect I stepped through the arch and entered a different world.
No longer was I in Florida. I had entered a magical snow blanketed village . I was stunned, to say the least. If it wasn't for the blazing heat and humidity I would've sworn that I was right in the village. There were tons of amazing small details, and I even made a point to come back to this area later in the day so that I could take a closer look at everything.
Now I will say there is one downfall to the Wizarding World. While the Harry Potter franchise is currently an extremely popular and well know Franchise, there are people such as myself who may not have been exposed to it. So while I loved the intricacy in the design of all of the shops, buildings and attractions; I didn't really understand why they were there.
This same concern applies to the main attraction in the Wizarding World ; Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. I thought the Forbidden Journey was a fantastic ride. An absolutely amazing attraction, one of the greatest rides I've ever been on. However, if you were to ask me about what the attraction was about, I wouldn't know what to say. I didn't understand the story. On the other hand, fans of the Harry Potter story get the storyline of the attraction because its aimed at them. I feel that if the story line for the Forbidden Journey attraction was more accessible for guests like me, I would love this attraction even more.
However when it comes down to finding the Magic in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, all you have to do is look at the gift shops. I'll even admit that the “spell” worked on me. I bought an awesome scarf and I live in Florida. Asides from scarfs there are magic wands, cloaks, candies (I'm assuming all from the books/movies) all for sale. A really awesome selection (If you can't visit the Wizarding World, Universal Orlando does offer some items from the Wizarding World for sale on their website). Be prepared to spend money! I didn't see anyone walk out of the shops empty handed.
The Wizarding World should not be missed. If you are going to see one attraction in Orlando, it should be the Wizarding World. No questions asked. I'm excited for the expansion of the Wizarding World. I might even read the books!
Also keep an eye on the galleries, I'll be adding some great photos from Universal over the next few days! As always stay tuned to Coaster-net.com, over the next few days as I'll be sharing more of my thoughts and some photos from Universal Orlando in the coming days!
