Jamaica-based Rabbi Yaakov Raskin, in a letter to local Jews yesterday, said that he was “shocked and in disbelief, not just for the devastating loss of life, but for the basis of these senseless murders,” as he responded to the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre in the United States on Saturday.
Robert Gregory Bowers killed eight men and three women inside the Tree of Life Synagogue during worship services before a tactical police team tracked him down and shot him.
Six people were injured in the attack, including four police officers.
With Jews around the world condemning the attack, the rabbi urged Jamaican Jews not to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity as he reminded them that Jewish people are a collective affirmation of life.

A first-of-its-kind report reveals the extent of South Africa’s private retirement savings crisis and its pending impact on government resources in the coming years, as well as the savings disparity among racial groups and the massive divide between men and women.
The first 10X Retirement Reality Report (10XRRR) - the findings of a survey of more than 11-million South Africans - indicates that 46% of people have a profound lack of trust in the retirement industry, while 41% people have made no provision for retirement at all.
The report, commissioned by 10X Investments, reveals a profound lack of understanding of what they have saved and what they need to have saved among existing clients of the retirement industry.
The poll further highlights some worrying trends across within South African demographics.
Says 1X Investments Founder and CEO Steven Nathan, “The industry has amassed wealth at the expense of its clients, who frequently discover how poorly their retirement products have performed only when it is too late to do anything about it.
“The industry’s messaging makes strong emotive appeals. It’s high time that the facts get some air time,” he said.
The survey pointed to the gender pay gap in South Africa, where women are understood to earn around a quarter less than their male counterparts, which has a knock-on effect on retirement savings. The report noted that the gender pay disparity is often “exacerbated by the increased likelihood that women’s careers will be interrupted during pregnancy and child-rearing”.
A total of 36% of female respondents said they neither saved nor invested, and 37% saved cash but did not invest it. Very few women, a mere 16%, reported investing their savings in order to grow their wealth.
Emma Heap, Head of Growth at 10X Investments, said: “If women aren’t investing their money for growth they will have little chance of beating inflation and having enough money to draw a decent income after retirement.
10X Investments believes that the release of the 10XRRR will promote action and awareness in addressing the underlying issues that are poised to financially cripple the South African economy and millions of individual South Africans.
The release of the 10XRRR comes amid heated debate on rising poverty levels in South Africa, despite government’s national development plan to eliminate poverty by 2030.
The report also aims to spark debate about the lack of transparency and, in some cases, daylight robbery committed by fund managers in terms of hidden costs and fees. 10X Investments is a disruptor financial institution that recognises that the retirement industry has done disproportionately well for itself, but has failed its clients.

Impress your friends with my sophisticated Passion Fruit and Prosecco jelly shots. These sweet and exotic shots are truly delectable and really easy to make.
I know what you’re thinking, which ingredient is from the garden? The answer is passion fruit! Passiflora Caerulea is a winter-hardy variety that has striking cream and purple flowers. We have a long and ugly garage at the bottom of the garden that is covered in pebble dash. Luckily it is sunny and sheltered so next year I plan to cover it with this beautiful evergreen climber.
Step one: Scoop out the passion fruit pulp and pass through a sieve into a measuring jug. Use the back of a spoon to push through as much of the juice as possible. Mix a table-spoon of the juice with the sugar to form a smooth paste then stir into the juice. Now add the Prosecco to the juice until you have 400ml of liquid in total, if you have more than 400ml your jelly may not set.
Step two: Cut a thin disc off the bottom of each passion fruit half so they stand upright.
Step three: Soak the gelatine in some cold water for a few minutes until soft. Remove the sheets and place them in a small bowl with 2tbsp water and microwave until melted (about 15-20 seconds). Stir into the Prosecco mixture, pour into the passion fruit cases and chill for a couple of hours or until they have set.
This may make more than the 18 halves so I use the sauce paper cases you get in the fast food chains for any remaining jelly mixture. I feel you wish to make a nonalcoholic version you can swap the Prosecco for lemonade.
Don’t keep me all to yourself! Pin, share, like, and follow me ?

With its $14 million five-day opening (and just $9.1 million from Friday through Sunday) against a budget of just under $100 million, Lionsgate’s recently released “Robin Hood” adaptation has already emerged as the biggest blockbuster bomb of 2018 reports The Wrap.
With a global launch of just $22.8 million by the end of its first five days, the film had the worst start for any film this year with a budget of $90 million or higher and looks to be on track to be the biggest flop of this kind since last year’s decidedly more costly $175 million epic “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” and to a lesser extent Disney’s gaudy $120 million “Nutcracker and the Four Realms” earlier this month.
Overseas isn’t saving the film either, the movie’s home in the UK only pulled in $1.7 million in its opening weekend. The movie’s failure also marks another blow for Lionsgate which is down by 54% from last year following disappointments like “Kin” and “The Spy Who Dumped Me”. It is, however, in a better position in early 2019 with new Madea, Hellboy and John Wick movies on the way.

At a Drexel University lab in Philadelphia, a desktop 3-D printer is printing miniature samples of bones. In Toronto, another researcher is using the same printer to make living tumors for drug testing. It looks like an ordinary 3-D printer, but instead of plastic, it squirts out living cells.
The researcher studying bones is learning how bones form. “The vision is that once we understand these processes we can recreate them, and we can begin to engineer bones for people who need them,” he says. Other researchers have printed out samples of heart tissue, lungs, the brain, skin, and cartilage.
Farther in the future, the devices might be used to help patients get more individualized treatment—you might go to a lab, give a sample of your own cells, and then a researcher could print a miniature version of your own organs and test how you’d react to a particular drug.
Other 3-D printers use UV radiation that can harm cells, so the startup pioneered a new process that uses visible light and avoids damage. They also radically changed the printer itself. “We designed a device that was much smaller and much easier to use and way less expensive,” Cabrera says.
The startup launched a beta version of the printer last year (at $5,000 each) and shipped it to 50 researchers around the world, gathering feedback to refine the design. A new version that’s more precise, and that can print multiple materials at the same time, launches on September 8.

The Gimlet is essentially a Daiquiri made with gin instead of rum. Bright and sour up front, with a backdrop of bold botanical flavors, it’s wonderful in warm weather. The Gimlet first appeared in print in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, but comes from much older naval tradition. During England’s imperial era, the daily rations for British sailors included citrus, rum and gin (the first to fend off scurvy, the others to fend off boredom). The ur-Daiquiris and ur-Gimlets the sailors made were referred to as Limeys (or simply Grog). But even if you’re not a sailor, you can enjoy a Gimlet anytime you need a refreshing, gin-forward libation.
For the best tasting Gimlet, we like to use the freshest lime juice we can. Making a single serving, we opt for squeezing the limes straight into the jigger. If you’re entertaining, press the lime juice no more than 30 minutes prior to your guests arrival. When choosing a gin, lighter more herbaceous gins like Beefeater or Greenhook Ginsmiths American Dry work best in the cocktail. Lighter gins will allow the vibrant acidity of the lime to be at the forefront of the cocktail—not the gin. Avoid anything barrel aged or sweeter Old Tom styles. It is also best to avoid any gin that is higher in proof simply because it will limit the number of Gimlets that you can have, and the best thing about drinking Gimlets is having multiple in succession.
Place all ingredients in a shaker tin with ice, shake well and strain into a chilled coupe.
Traditionally, the Gimlet has no garnish, but a lime wheel or twist can be added as desired.

What next for Italy after their failure to qualify for the World Cup?
Is Italy’s failure a one-off or the start of something more long-term?
Neil Morris: The wrong coach was hired and everything after that was inevitable. This was about incompetence at the top and that’s where the rebuilding needs to start.
Luca Hodges-Ramon: Italy’s failure to qualify represented a nadir in what has been a pretty dismal decade. Barring performances at Euro 2012 and 2016 (the latter was in large part down to the brilliance of Antonio Conte), the era has been one of bad decision-making from the top down, which culminated in the hiring of Giampiero Ventura and the FIGC’s inertia when it was clear Ventura needed firing.
Blair Newman: This was a huge shock but, as bad as Italy were, they only lost out in a play-off to an extremely well-organised Sweden side. That defeat was the culmination of something that started while Conte was in charge. He did an excellent job, but he also ignored a huge amount of talent, particularly young and inexperienced players. His tactics at Euro 2016 papered over the cracks in an ageing and poor squad, which made the transition really hard for his successor, Ventura, to manage.
Emmet Gates: It’s a one-off. They failed to qualify for Euro 92 and came back to make it to the final of USA 94.
Giorgio Chiellini says the art of defending is being ruined. Is this a problem for Italy?
Emmet: As Chiellini himself noted, all defenders (and goalkeepers) are now expected to play the ball. When I see Caldara, Rugani, Romagnoli and so on, I don’t see a new Chiellini, a new Claudio Gentile, a new Ciro Ferrara. I see a lot of Alessandro Nestas, which is hardly a bad thing, but every smooth Nesta needs a Chiellini beside him.
Neil: This is part of a vicious circle. Because defenders such as Chiellini have perfected their art, others teams have been forced to adapt and play another way. As a result, the game has changed and the art of defending has become more intricate. It is now up to Italian defenders to embrace that challenge – thankfully the younger generation are doing so.
Blair: Because of the way tactics have changed, today’s defenders have to be good on the ball, drive forward and pick a pass. It’s surprising to hear Chiellini bemoaning this as he’s proficient in these skills. Young Italian defenders may not have his aggression, but that doesn’t mean Italy is losing its defensive nous. Alessio Romagnoli, Mattia Caldara, Daniele Rugani are all under 24 and they can fill the void when Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci join Andrea Barzagli in international retirement.
Is Italy’s failure to reach the World Cup down to a decline in talent production?
Blair: Italy still produces top talent, but it’s irrelevant if their path to the national team is blocked by tacticians with rigid ideas. Hopefully their next manager will be more open-minded.
Emmet: Italy has stuttered in producing world-class players, especially in the No10 position. Where is the new Baggio or Totti? The country has some of the highest rising obesity levels in Europe, which suggests younger generations aren’t playing football as much as they did, say, 30 years ago. And the kids who do play are conditioned to get results rather than develop their creativity and innovation. Italy needs to overhaul its footballing ethos. Only in Italy could Rino Gattuso, as hard-working as he was, gain more caps than Roberto Baggio.
Neil: There was enough talent to qualify and they may have avoided Spain in the group had they taken their friendly schedule more seriously. There has been a dip in talent but there are reasons to be excited about the next generation coming through.
Luca: Italy’s youth teams (and current squad) have promising youngsters breaking through: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Roberto Gagliardini, Bryan Cristante, Chiesa, Caldara, Rugani, Cutrone, Belotti and plenty of others. But at the same time, Italy’s talent pool has undeniably dwindled since their last Word Cup victory in 2006.
Are foreign players in Serie A hampering the development of Italian youngsters?
Luca: People looked for an easy explanation when Italy failed to qualify and, mirroring the current socio-political environment in the country, some impulsively decided to blame foreigners for blocking the path of Italian youngsters. There is a debate to be had here but I fear ignorance and intolerance cloud some people’s judgement. Quotas on foreign players is not the answer – although youth academies need much more investment as they are very underfunded when compared, for example, to their Spanish counterparts.
Emmet: If they were good enough, they’d play. Italy had a wealth of talent in the 1990s when Serie A housed the world’s greatest players, to such an extent that they left out Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini for USA 94, Baggio and Beppe Signori for Euro 96, Gianfranco Zola and Fabrizio Ravanelli for France 98.
Neil: Last year 52% of players in Serie A were foreign. Compare that to 56.1% in Portugal (who won Euro 2016) and 53% in Germany (who won the 2014 World Cup) and you see the argument does not stack up. Foreign players make up 64% of the Premier League yet England qualified easily.
Is caretaker boss Luigi Di Biagio the best option going forward?
Luca: Carlo Ancelotti would not only bring a wealth of experience and tactical nous, but his quiet leadership style would help restore confidence and nurture Italy’s youngsters.
Blair: Di Biagio has experience working with the new generation but I wasn’t hugely convinced by his U21 side. Vincenzo Montella could be a good call. He’s not tied to his systems; he’s not dogmatic; and, as he showed at Milan, he’s willing to give young players a chance.
Emmet: Ancelotti. He has won the Champions League more times than any manager alive so has nothing to prove at club level. The international arena would suit him perfectly: he’s a cup specialist who can maximise players for short bursts of excellence and he would command respect from every Italian player, something Ventura did not have as he hadn’t won anything as a manager.
Which three players will be integral in leading Italy to Euro 2020?
Emmet: Marco Verratti, if he leaves the glass ceiling of PSG and develops his abilities; Belotti, who also needs to move on from Torino to grow; and Lorenzo Insigne.
Neil: Jorginho will pull the strings in the midfield for many years to come; Insigne is perhaps Italy’s most creative player; and Caldara will emerge, alongside Rugani, as a crucial part of what should be a new-look defence in 2020.
Luca: Jorginho can become Italy’s next great midfield conductor; Insigne is one of the few senior squad members with genuine flair; and Rugani will step into Chiellini’s role.
Blair: Jorginho is the beating heart of Napoli’s possession game so must start in the deep-lying midfield role; Verratti needs to step up; and Belotti can lead the line.

The intellectual contributions of the third edited volume of The Papers of Howard Washington Thurman (2015) are immense. The editors have successfully gathered, organized, and introduced a broad range of materials related to Howard Thurman's involvement with the Fellowship Church for All Peoples in San Francisco from September 1943 to May 1949. The volume contains a variety of sources, including letters, essays, sermons, journal entries, speeches, and magazine articles. Given that the most influential accounts of Thurman's life and ministry tend to be autobiographical (liv), the present work succeeds in presenting materials which do not rely on Thurman's often well-polished narrative accounts. The plurality of voices on offer—like those of Alfred G. Fisk and Albert Cleage—adds complexity and detail. In this way, readers are given materials with which to draw more nuanced perspectives on the difficulty of trying to establish an interracial, interdenominational fellowship during the 1940s. Readers are also provided a robust number of thoroughly researched footnotes, which helpfully point to lesser known, yet vitally important persons, books, and other archival resources. The biographical essay is also an excellent resource (xvii-lii). Not only does the volume provide a sense of the conflicts between local religious leaders and neighboring political activists, it also affords a window into Thurman's own internal struggles.
One example of this emerges in Thurman's thinking about how to characterize the workings of white supremacy. In a short essay entitled "The White Problem," he remains pretty consistent in thinking that white supremacy is the offspring of fear and ignorance (28). But sometimes Thurman vacillates between his emphasis on strategies of separation and the "will to segregation" on the one hand, and his accenting how, at least globally speaking, a small white "minority . . . dominates all the other peoples of the earth" on the other hand (28). This is no small distinction, especially when considering the sort of political and moral strategies that are required to combat the terrible realities wrought by racialized "pride, arrogance, and exploitation" (28). If one thinks that fear and ignorance are the primary culprits, which get deepened by ongoing practices of segregation, then one likely response is the introduction of racially-integrated spiritual (and educational) spaces as a means of remedying the situation. Thurman's belief in the importance of creating moments of contact across racial barriers evinces some version of this view, one that emerges as central to the mission and character of Fellowship Church.
But if one tends to think of racial and economic injustice in terms of a collective, institutional, and often personal will to dominate persons of color and the poor, as Thurman sometimes does, then more radical strategies would seem to be in order. The promises of integration—religious, political, and otherwise—aren't immediately obvious. One might even think that particular kinds of violence might be encouraged if ventures in integration are too hastily undertaken. At times, Thurman could be of this mind as well. This is why he argued against keeping Fellowship Church in a primarily black neighborhood, fearing that the church would soon become all black, or that the white persons who attended would view the church as a place for racial charity (xxix, 85). He knew that many well-meaning whites were helplessly unable to conceive of themselves in non-supremacist terms. He worried that many would see themselves as already possessing something to give and offer black people.
Such a view lay at the heart of Thurman's critique of white Christianity: that it largely took as its starting point the perspectives and interests of those already in power, not the realities of the disinherited. The redemptive vitality of Christianity, Thurman argued, lay in its capacity to "resolve racial prejudice, notions of white supremacy and class conflict" (28). But this raises a number of questions about the very terms upon which an interracial church was to be responsibly pursued. It also raises questions about the desirability of refusing to be directly associated with organized resistance in a context of overwhelming economic and political injustice. The present volume reveals the urgency of these questions in Thurman's ministry with new specificity.
If the collection falls short, it does so in its tendency to defer to Thurman's own interpretation of events. Each entry is preceded by introductory paragraphs furnished by the editors. While helpful in providing context, these remarks also have the unintended effect of priming the reader to engage each selection in the way editors suggest. At times, the editorial remarks can adopt Thurman's perspective about particular undertakings and disagreements. Some of the introductions retain a kind of autobiographical texture, even though the editors rightly point to the limitations of Thurman's own renderings (liv). Critically engaging each document with the assistance of the editorial remarks—but also sufficient distance—requires care. There are lively debates to be had about the extent to which Thurman's interlocutors might have disagreed with him and whether those disagreements were in principle legitimate or even morally instructive for Thurman's own cause.
Thurman was committed to bold adventure alongside daring experimentalism. The editors of this wonderfully assembled volume invite us to experiment even with our interpretations of the materials they provide. The volume deepens our understanding of Howard Thurman and Fellowship Church, as well as our engagement with American religious and political history more generally, and African American religious and political thought in particular. This is a must read.

Google Ads will no longer offer Exact Match. Yes, it has not been truly exact for some time, but now, it’s not even close.
In the next couple of months, Google will do away with even the appearance of exact match.
Google’s AI knows that when someone types in “maroon widget”, they actually mean “red widget”.
But, it goes beyond that. Based on clues available only to Google, if someone search “blue macadamia nuts”, Google will know they really are looking for “red widget”.
The explanation I received was simple and straight to the point. Google’s smarter that searchers and advertisers.
According to Google, the AI can tell that someone is likely to convert even if the search doesn’t match. So, the searcher should see the ad, and the advertiser should see more conversions.
If you’re an e-commerce retailer, this may (or may not) work in your favor. You’ll know pretty quickly if the campaign performance is improving. If you give Google access to the conversion and sales metrics (and you should), the AI will benefit you.
I know some folks are shy about sharing data with Google. But, the more you can feed the Google AI, the more it can learn about what works and what doesn’t. So, share as much as you can.
For those whose revenue comes offline, there is a problem. A cost-per-lead is great until you realize that not all leads are created equal. Factors such as close rates, margins and even LTV are important when deciding where to focus your money.
Someone who types in “maroon” may submit a lead as often as someone who types in “red”. But what if “red” closes more often, or has a higher AOR?
We know these metrics because we can see what happens offline. We know that an exact match on “red” is worth a lot more than a fuzzy match on “maroon.” That is why we apply exact match. It’s more work to structure accounts this way. But, it pays off in the end.
The simple answer that Google provided, build out your negatives on all campaign and match types.
Given that Exact and Phrase are likely to behave the same way, you may just go with phrase match. (I wasn’t given clear guidance on the UI and if the pretense of Exact match type would even continue).
Build out your negatives and keep building them out. The query stream is your friend.
Be sure all broad matches are modified. Then keep an eye on the query stream to be sure the “fuzzy” matching isn’t happening there as well.
We have yet to see where this will end up. But, over the next few months keep a close eye on the query report, build out the negatives, and track as far down the sales process as you can. Depending on how far Google takes this, you may be better off with a single match type and an extensive negative build out.
If you want any help reviewing your program, please give us a call or fill out the request form.
Contact us for a Proposal or any questions.

Congratulations are in order to SpaceX and Orbital Sciences.
Last week, on January 6, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) successfully launched the Thaicom 6 satellite into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) using its Falcon 9 rocket.
This launch also marks the third of three qualification flights needed to certify the Falcon 9 to fly missions under the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. Once Falcon 9 is certified, SpaceX will be eligible to compete to launch national security satellites for the U.S. Air Force.
According to SpaceX’s website, they currently have 50 flights lined up, of which a whopping 60% are for private customers. So, they have a viable sales pipeline.
Then, this week Orbital Sciences Corporation made the first of eight scheduled International Space Station refueling missions for NASA.
Its mission was first delayed by the infamous “Polar Vortex” weather (the launch pad was too cold and had to be warmed up with blankets and a great deal of hot chocolate and Kahlua), and then by a solar flare.
On January 11, the third attempt, the Cygnus spacecraft was able to launch and it docked with the ISS on the 12th. Over the next month it will continue to unload its cargo (thousands of pounds of supplies and science experiments) before undocking.
For both SpaceX and Orbital Sciences, the initial launches were delayed due to complications, showing how vulnerable space launches currently are to factors such as weather and operational uncertainty (SpaceX delayed their first launch attempt in order to perform another pre-launch inspection). Although both companies had little choice but to delay, I think this demonstrated how important launch safety, patience and firm discipline is to their success.
Although these are private companies, it is interesting to examine NASA’s influence on them.
First, NASA is an important customer of theirs. This recent Orbital Sciences mission ORB-1 is paid for as part of NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, project, for resupply missions that are meant to encourage the growth of these nascent private space companies (the alternative is a continued reliance on Russian launchers). SpaceX also has a contract with NASA to refuel the ISS (and has done so in the recent past).
Less tangibly, many former NASA employees are employed by, or under contract to, SpaceX and Orbital Sciences, and so will naturally exert some influence on their company cultures and thought patterns.
Finally, while these companies are tight-lipped about their technological secrets, it is highly unlikely that they can keep R&D costs (and their bottom line) low without researching (if not outright reusing) tried and true NASA space technology. So a great deal of SpaceX and Orbital Sciences technology will inevitably stand on the shoulders of giants.
This is not to discredit their achievements in any way but simply to acknowledge current business realities. NASA continues to be an 800-pound gorilla in the private space sector.
Final thoughts: right now SpaceX and Orbital Sciences are in the vanguard of opening up space business opportunities for the private sector. Although their company stakeholders are no doubt celebrating the most, I think their achievements are beneficial for innovation and the world economy in general. By casting down technological and business barriers to space, they demonstrate that lower-cost private space flight is a viable industry. The creation of new industries and markets means that business opportunities will abound in space, and on Earth.
Best wishes for their future success.
What do you think of the SpaceX and Orbital Sciences launches?

This elegant Imitation Staghorn Day Sgian Dubh has an emblem of one of Scotland’s icon mounted in the top of the handle – the Lion Rampant! The Lion Rampant has had associations with Scotland that can be traced back as far as the 12th century and it appears on the Royal Banner of Scotland.
Sgian Dubh (also written as ‘skean dhu’) is a small blade that was used by Highlanders to cut scraps of food. They were also hidden in the sock or under the arm when visiting a rival, and produced if there was any trouble!
Day Sgian Dubhs are best suited to wear at casual or informal events. Highland Games, outdoor gatherings and garden parties are example of where best to wear. They match with several jacket styles, but work best with Tweeds.

If you’re like most people today, you go through a full battery cycle in under a day. This happens because most smartphones run so many apps simultaneously that it’s hard to maintain enough battery power.
Another reason for this is that most people don’t charge their smartphones the proper way or maybe they don’t have enough time to reach a desirable percentage. So, you’re always faced with needing to charge the phone while driving, while in a meeting, while at a bar, or while riding the subway. You may have thus already invested in a portable power bank for your smartphone.
More and more people are also becoming interested in the concept of phone-to-phone charging. It’s not a new thing but it is becoming more widely available as the technology advances. Read on to learn more about this method and find out how you can do it.
There still seems to be a bit of confusion in regards to when it’s time to charge your phone. Should you charge it when the battery is fully depleted or should you charge partially?
Today’s smartphones use lithium-ion batteries. As opposed to the old acid batteries, these benefit more from partial recharges and, in the long run, don’t respond particularly well to 100% drains.
It is recommended that you charge your phone when the battery is between 30% and 80% in order to improve its lifespan. It is also a good idea to refrain from charging the battery up to full each time.
The most popular method of phone-to-phone charging involves using cables. These are special cables designed to transfer power from one battery to another. Keep in mind that most of these cables are very short, so you won’t get much freedom while the phone is charging.
It took more than a century for Nikola Tesla’s dreams of wireless power transfer to come to life. For wireless charging to work, your smartphone needs to feature a receiver and a power transmitting pad as well as adhere to some specific standards.
This is a wireless charging standard adopted by manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Nokia, Sony, Apple, LG, Motorola, and Huawei. It is characterized by inductive charging distances of up to 40mm or 1.5”.
This standard is less used partly because it is associated with the Alliance for Wireless Power and not the more popular Wireless Power Consortium.
The Juicer is a phone-to-phone charging cable currently in development. The project is crowdfunded and promises to deliver a small cable that’s able to transfer power from one battery to another with minimal energy loss.
The developers have also hinted at the idea that the Juicer will be compatible with all smartphones, regardless of brand. Currently, the only chance of getting the Juicer cable is to join the waiting list with other supporters and donors of the project.
Huawei are currently designing a revolutionary (according to their engineers) smartphone called the Mate 20 Pro. Along with advanced high-def cameras, a powerful processor, and loads of software features, the smartphone is also designed to work as a charging station for any other smartphone with a Qi standard.
It will reportedly have the fastest 15W Qi wireless charging transfer rates on the market, well above the industry standard. Of course, it’s the compatibility with all other Qi-rated devices that makes the Mate 20 Pro a smartphone to look forward to.
Despite how convenient phone-to-phone charging might be, there are several cons to discuss here. First of all, regardless of the transfer method and the technology or standard used, the power drain on the main battery is usually very high.
There’s also the matter of accounting for different voltages and how this may cause overheating or cause both batteries to lose power simultaneously. This effect can be observed if you try pairing an Android device and an iPhone via a converted USB OTG cable.
Connecting the phones will show you that the drained battery is slowly gaining power but quickly losing it too. It also causes massive heat gains which are damaging to the battery and could lead to periodic system reboots or total system failures.
Assuming that the technology is perfected, compatibility is not an issue, and the power drain on the topped battery is not massive, should you opt for phone-to-phone charging? Because lithium-ion batteries respond well to periodic partial charging cycles, it won’t be a harmful thing to charge phone-to-phone.
However, the energy gains would be minimal, and they would take time. As such, it is still a lot easier to carry around a small power bank to get some juice when you need to make an emergency phone call or send an urgent email.

The Enhancing Capacity for LEDS (EC-LEDS) Bangladesh Wind Resource Mapping Project is helping to reduce the development and investment risk by providing high-quality comprehensive wind resource data products needed to encourage public and private sector wind energy development and increase investor confidence in the viability of wind energy projects. The validated high-resolution wind maps and associated data products will provide the tools for wind developers looking to find opportunities, reduce wind prospecting timelines, and demonstrate to government officials the wind potential which might aid in future energy policy decisions. Specifically, the data products allow potential developers to conduct detailed pre-feasibility studies, focused on evaluating how the wind resource in a particular region matches up with the local utilities seasonal demand, generating credible estimates of wind production, and predicting the overall potential of a site. Positive results from these studies can be used to justify further investments in project-specific on-the-ground resource wind assessments, expediting the development process and stimulating the wind market.
Over the long-term, the improved wind data products reduce development risk, increase public and private stakeholder confidence in wind energy projects, and expand potential opportunities for wind power, by providing the data needed to evaluate wind projects and incorporate wind resources into a national energy strategy.

I first met Tab in 2008 when I was downsizing significantly. My three boys and I needed a place to live for the right price, in the right location and within two weeks. His calm confident approach turned a stressful situation into one I remember as peaceful and intentional. Since that time Tab has assisted me personally with 4 real estate transactions and has helped a countless number of my friends. His professionalism and vast knowledge of the business make him my first referral to anyone with real estate needs.

Towards the top is a largish blue backlit LCD screen. The backlight can be turned dimmed or turned off by pressing the Snooze button that sits at the top, or ‘Repeat Alarm’ as Philip calls it. Once set, the time and date is displayed large and cleanly, along with indicators for whether the two alarms are active.
Set flush in each corner are buttons for setting the two alarms – just hold down and wait for the beep. Adjustments to set the time and the alarms are made by the rather small buttons set round the dock. Also located here are buttons for switching between the tuner, the auxiliary input and the dock.
There are a number of buttons running down the sides as well. On the left is the power button, beneath this is the button for setting the time and underneath this there’s a slider switch for choosing whether you want to wake up to music from the dock, the tuner or a buzzer. The latter two ensure this is still useful as an alarm without an iPod or GoGear present. The five buttons running down the right hand side are presets for the FM tuner.
Adding to the sense that this is a complete product is a small but smart remote control. The main Play/Pause button has a shiny silver surround and it also sports a Mute button, which isn’t present on the body of the main unit. As you might expect you can skip tracks on your player with the remote and move between radio stations. The remote felt good in the hand and the buttons, while rubbery were better than some. Unfortunately, the main Play/Pause on our remote stopped responding, which was a shame – the others were all fine though.
While I was impressed by the look, feel and ease of use I wasn’t expecting too much in terms of sound quality – it’s just a clock radio after all. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s rated at 12W RMS – 6W per speaker. I was surprised to find that there are actually two speakers behind the grille, so it is technically stereo, even though they’re so close together it’s virtually mono. However, by having two speakers it does make the sound output truer to the source.

Amanda was born in the small town of Castlemaine in Victoria where her father, being an ardent art collector and member of the well-known Castlemaine Art Gallery, influenced and inspired Amanda to take up her passion and paint the surrounding landscape.
Amanda adds a contemporary feel to her landscapes without detracting from the traditional scene. She enhances the beauty of the Australian bush with smooth and textured brush stokes, adding an emotion not easily forgotten by the viewer.
Her seascapes are renowned for their interpretation of the mood of the day – whether it be calm or stormy, sunny or grey, Amanda deftly captures the moment.
Painters who have influenced her work are Brett Whiteley, Fred Williams and Tim Storrier – all who have captured the mood of the Australian spirit.
Although self taught, Amanda’s husband Robert Stopa, who is a well-known painter, has helped her develop her technique and encouraged her to experiment with her work.
Amanda has been painting seriously since 1996 and has had successful exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne and regional galleries, and has sold her works to connoisseurs around the world.

Gabriella Klepacki was born and educated in Poland in 1955, but spent the last 24 years living in New Zealand.
By trade she is an architect, but her real passion is illustrating, which she has been doing, on and off, for over 20 years. She does not have any formal qualifications in fine art, apart from a very thorough training in drawing (School of Architecture).
Gabriella has worked for most NZ publishing houses, illustrating books for authors such as Dorothy Butler, Margaret Mahy, Diana Noonan and others.
She has also worked for advertising (in the pre- computer era), developers (archit. presentation) and tutors in drawing.
Her biggest fascination lies with people of all kinds, all ages, in all sorts of situations and moods. As for her technique – she works in a variety of media, often mixing them together, incorporating photos into her images, experimenting with interesting tools and materials.
Gabriella is available for any kind of illustrating/graphic work, from cartooning, personalised books and stationery, large posters, to architectural presentation… anything that can be turned into an image.
Her illustrations are rendered in a manual way, however she uses the computer to process her freehand sketches and enhance her illustrations in a number of ways.

If you don't remember Carly Simon first hand, then you surely remember her as the woman that always took up a few spots in your mother's record collection, probably nestled somewhere alongside Carole King's Tapestry. A singer-songwriter whose star shone brightest in the 1970s -- she was among the most prominent of the confessional bunch during the genre's heyday -- Simon's music was both pleasantly undaunting and mildly shocking in its frankness, and her light piano playing and run-of-the-mill vocals contrasted with her uninhibited lyrics. In the face of increasingly emotional songwriting that's emerged over the years, the sharp-pointed phrases that filled Simon's music seem to have become relatively blunt, and her music now fits perfectly in the tame playlists of Lite Rock radio. But a night spent dusting off her records and listening to her sing of life's trials, tribulations and excesses can revive some of the emotion still contained therein.

Expanding past the shoreline of the Massachusetts Bay, Boston extends for miles inland. Boston was the largest city in America up until 1755. Unlike other early American cities, Boston suffered the most during the British clamp down on the colonies. This long historic past provides visitors with many small, site- specific museums and historical areas.
The North End of Boston includes the North Church and Paul Revere's home. A visit here will give the visitor an appreciation for the character of our Nation's heroes.
Walking tours of the historic areas are a wonderful way to experience history first hand. Guided tours of the Freedom Trail immerse Boston visitors in the daily life of the early settlers. The Freedom Trail winds its way around sixteen of Boston's most famous historical sites.
Across the street from the Boston Commons is the Public Garden. Visitors are greeted by gorgeous landscaping and the famous statue of George Washington on a horse. The beauty of the garden is just one reason it is so often used as a background by filmmakers and wedding photographers.
For the romantic visitors, the Public Garden offers rides in the distinctive Swan boats. The story Make Way for Ducklings took place on these grounds and a sculpture in honor of this was commissioned and is on display.
The Museum of Fine Art features collections from all over the globe, curator discussion on special exhibits and one of largest standing exhibits of musical instruments in the country. Monthly performances using these antique instruments are held inside the museum.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a reproduction of a 15th century Venetian palace. Isabella was an ardent collector of paintings, rare books, statues, tapestries and much more. Her collection includes works by Degas, Rembrandt, Titian, Monet and more. The landscaping surrounding the three story architectural wonder are botanical wonders that provide breathtaking views during all seasons of the year.
Sport enthusiasts will find themselves immersed in a city that is filled with home town pride. The Boston Bruins, the Boston Celtics and the Boston Blazers call TD Gardens their home. Offering more than just hockey and basketball games, TD Gardens hosts many other events.
WWE Smack Downs and amateur and professional Dance and Cheerleading competitions provide spectators with a wide range of sporting events. Music concert tickets at TD Gardens are available online and ensure that vacationers will be able to see their favorite musician in concert during their visit to Boston.
The Prudential Center Skywalk Observatory is a must see for any visitor to Boston. The view of the city atop the skywalk of the "Sears Tower of Boston" is absolutely breathtaking. As a starting or final destination of your visit to Boston, the Prudential Center Skywalk is a one-of-a-kind experience.

It's time to get serious about sandwiches. For the next 3 weeks 20 food bloggers and myself will be eating, sleeping and breathing sandwiches. As you know I am participating in the Emeril Lagasse Serious Sandwich Cook Along sponsored by Morrow Publishers.
We will share our thoughts, photos and even some recipes from Emeril's new book: Kicked Up Sandwiches. And one lucky reader (that's you) will have a shot at winning their very own copy of this unique book.
Now let's talk football. I'm not a football fan at all but I love it for two reasons: 1. It frees up my Sundays for important "me" things; like shopping. 2. It means at least one night during the season is sandwich night...because when the Philadelphia Eagles play a night game the ritual in our house is sandwiches.
So this past Sunday was sandwich night. Perfect timing since I had just received my copy of Kicked Up Sandwiches. After a quick browse through the book I decided to make the: Grilled Flank Steak with Balsamic Glazed Peppers.
The flank steak is marinated and charred in a grill pan. The bell peppers and onions are slow cooked and finished with balsamic vinegar. Sandwiched between two slices of ciabatta spread with homemade mayonaise (recipe included in the book) and oozing with melted provolone cheese this was a great football night choice.
Like the Eagles this sandwich is a winner. Unfortunately we are not allowed to share this recipe so if you want a taste you will need to purchase Emeril's new book. Or follow the instructions below to win a copy.
Contests ends Oct. 15th. Of course you can also pre-order a copy.
What a delicious looking sandwich!I love sandwiches made with pita bread, hummus and fresh vegetables .
I adore flank steak ... and this sandwich looks amazing! Glad to be participating in #SeriousSandwich with you!
Now that is my kind of sandwich!
I like roast beef with horseradish spread and red onion and avocado and swiss cheese--grilled as a panino.
I follow you on twitter: ljskop.
Great job with the sandwich! If you ever need a Philly care package, just let me know :) Might help ease the pain of Vick lately.

TOKYO, Apr 17 – Sony says it has sold seven million PlayStation 4 worldwide since its launch last year and admitted it can’t make them fast enough, in a welcome change of fortune for the Japanese consumer electronics giant.
“The response from the global gaming community for PS4 (PlayStation 4) has been overwhelming and we are truly humbled that gamers are selecting PS4 as their next generation console of choice,” Andrew House, president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., said in a statement.
“The PS4 journey has just begun, and although we are still facing difficulties keeping up with the strong demand worldwide, we remain steadfast in our commitment to meet the needs of our customers,” he said.
Software sales for the console are also strong, with more than 20.5 million copies sold in retail stores worldwide and through digital downloads on PlayStation Store as of April 13, 2014, it said.
The PS4 is up against Microsoft’s Xbox One, and Nintendo’s Wii U for dominance of the digital home entertainment market at a time that consoles are under intense pressure to prove their worth in a world of ubiquitous smartphones and tablets for games and videos.
By comparison, the Wii U, launched in late 2012, took more than a year to sell 5.86 million units.
Sony’s gaming division has emerged as a potential saviour for the company, which is struggling to reinvent itself in the digital age, having been left in the dust by nimbler rivals like South Korea’s Samsung.
Sony launched the PS4 in the global company’s homeland Japan on February 22, more than four months after it debuted in the United States and well behind many other markets.
Reports surfaced last month saying that Sony will sell properties at a prestigious Tokyo site where it had its headquarters for six decades, as the once-world beating firm struggles to improve its bottom line.
Sony warned in February that it would book a $1.08 billion loss in the fiscal year to March as well as cut 5,000 jobs and exit the stagnant PC market.
The embattled company said in January last year it was selling its US headquarters in Manhattan for $1.1 billion.

Education & Support | American Parkinson Disease Assoc.
Through a nationwide network of local Chapters, we uniquely deliver education, support, and patient services to Americans with Parkinson’s and their families each day.
APDA has raised and invested more than $170 million to provide outstanding patient services and educational programs, elevate public awareness about the disease, and support research designed to unlock the mysteries of Parkinson’s disease and ultimately put an end to this disease.
In addition to focusing on how to best serve our constituents and expand our reach across the general population, APDA provides the following unique resources for specialized patient populations.
When one person in a couple or family is affected by Parkinson’s disease, the other family members live with it as well. To keep your care partnering relationship healthy and balanced, it’s important that the care partner finds time to take a break from caregiver duties, has some outside interests, and has others they can turn to for support and resource information.
For those who have been diagnosed under the age of 50, APDA provides resources and information to help younger people with Parkinson’s Disease live active and productive lives. Our Early/Young Onset section offers a wide range of resource links and discusses issues that are particularly relevant to people with young onset Parkinson’s disease, such as ongoing employment, parenting, and planning for the near and distant future.
In 2017, APDA published Helping Those Who Serve: Parkinson’s Disease Information for Veterans Community. This manual offers general information about Parkinson’s diagnosis, symptoms and treatment, tips for coping with disease progression and support for care partners. It also provides step by step directions on how to access the Veterans’ Affairs (VA) system and receive care from the VA PADRECC (Parkinson’s Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Centers) and consortium centers across the country. The manual is accessible on the page linked below, and in print.
APDA’s National Rehabilitation Resource Center for Parkinson’s disease is located at the Boston University Sargent College Center for Neurorehabilitation. The Center is available to medical professionals and people with Parkinson’s Disease nationwide, serving as a central resource for information about Parkinson’s-related rehabilitation and exercise.
Understanding the critical need to provide support to diverse Parkinson’s populations, APDA increased efforts to provide Spanish educational materials. To date, APDA brochures and supplements have been written in Spanish and more continue to be developed. Additionally, APDA offers access to live phone support in Spanish through the 800-223-2732 toll free help line. Finally, an “En Español” section has been added to the APDA website to ensure that the Spanish-speaking community can get the important care and support they need.
This 1-2 hour web-based course with instructional videos intended to provide overall education about Parkinson’s disease and information on protocols for the first responder when interacting with a person who shows the signs of Parkinson’s. The first responder’s training program has been posted on state training websites in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Other states will be adding the program in the coming year; CEUs may be available through these states’ websites. A non-CEU version of the program is available on the APDA website via the link below.
This program meets the educational goals in Section 4b4 of the New Jersey Parkinson’s Disease Public Awareness and Education Act (A-2576.) signed into New Jersey state law in December 2014.
Helping people with Parkinson’s and their care partners connect with each other is the reason the we’ve partnered with Smart Patients to create a new online discussion forum for patients and their loved ones dealing with Parkinson’s Disease. Members in this online forum share help, advice and information about treatments, symptoms and side effects.
You can join the online forum for free to share, interact, and learn from each other in a safe, supportive environment.
Education is key to understanding a diagnosis, knowing your treatment options, and learning how to best navigate life with PD. We have compiled this library of educational videos to make it easy for you to view the latest and most credible information. We encourage you to view these videos about the impact of exercise on PD, the latest in PD research, and more!

The recent discovery of a new form of contagious cancer among Tasmanian devils — the second to afflict the species — suggests we still have a lot to learn about how cancer spreads. It also suggests that transmissible cancer may be more common in nature than previously assumed.
To date, scientists have observed only three strains of naturally occurring transmissible cancers, and they affect dogs, soft-shell clams, and Tasmanian devils. Unlike more “conventional” forms of the disease, these cancers spread between individuals through the transfer of living cancer cells.
Earlier this year, scientists documented a bizarre case in which a man was found to host cancerous tapeworm tumors in his brain, revealing yet another mechanism for cancer to spread from one individual to another, or in this case, one species to another. At any rate, the few documented cases of transmissible cancer suggests it’s exceptionally rare in nature.
The recent discovery of a second strain of contagious cancer among Tasmanian devils is detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science and suggests it may be more common than we assumed. It’s also casting doubt on what we think we know about cancer and how it mutates into contagious versions.
Cancer happens when cells in the body spread uncontrollably. Sometimes, it spreads and invades other parts of the body in a process known as “metastasis.” In most cases, however, cancer cannot survive outside of the original host. Transmissible cancers, on the other hand, have acquired this capacity. They can make the leap from one individual to another — typically through close contact behaviors – and infect new hosts.
Nearly 20 years ago, scientists first discovered contagious tumors among populations of Tasmanian devils in north-eastern Tasmania. This particular form of transmissible cancer, known as DFT1, spreads quickly throughout the animal’s body, and the disease typically proves fatal within months of the appearance of symptoms. DFT1 has spread through devil populations like wildfire, and the iconic species is now officially listed as endangered.
Adding insult to injury, a research team from the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania, along with researchers from Cambridge University, has confirmed a second and distinct form of transmissible cancer among Tasmanian devils. The discovery was made last year when a devil was found with tumors in the southeastern part of the island.
“The second cancer causes tumours on the face that are outwardly indistinguishable from the previously-discovered cancer,” said study lead author Ruth Pye in a statement.
This cancer, dubbed DFT2, may look the same as DFT1, but analysis shows it’s genetically distinct. This strain, which carries different chromosomal rearrangements, has now been confirmed in eight devil specimens. So Tasmanian devils have spawned at least two different forms of transmissible cancer. Contagious tumors aren’t as rare as previously assumed.
The researchers say that the contagious cancers are taking advantage of distinct Tasmanian devil behaviors and the low genetic diversity among the species. These marsupial carnivores are known for their ferocity, and they frequently bite each other while feeding and mating, contributing to the spread of the disease.
It’s not known if the new form of cancer is extensive among the devil population, or when it first emerged.
Scientists are now worried that other, as-yet-udiscovered transmissible cancers may exist in this species. This adds a further complication for conservationists who are working hard to save the species from extinction.
The possibility that clonally transmissible cancers may arise more frequently in nature than previously considered warrants further investigation of the risk that such diseases could arise in humans. Although transfer of cancer cells between two humans has been reported in rare circumstances, involving injury, organ transplantation, experimental treatments, or pregnancy, no human cancer has been observed to naturally transmit between more than two human hosts.
The discovery of a second transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils changes our perception of the potential of cancer cells to adapt to new niches as parasitic clonal cell lineages. Regardless of whether the plight of Tasmanian devils represents the existence of a common pathological process that has previously been overlooked, is the consequence of an unfortunate species-specific vulnerability, or has arisen due to an exceptionally improbable concomitance of events, clarification of the biological basis of DFT2 promises to illuminate important concepts underpinning cancer evolution.
You can check out the entire study at PNAS: “A second transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils”.

Librarians are becoming increasingly concerned about the safety and physical integrity of valuable government documents such as the U.S. Congressional Serial Set. Using a questionnaire to survey 187 government documents collections, the investigators (i) determine current library security practices with regard to the Serial Set, (ii) identify those volumes within the collection that are most likely to be vandalized or stolen, and (iii) make recommendations for the security and preservation of these items. The goal of the study is to give librarians a better awareness of security problems and possible solutions.

Elena enjoys being on the water, eating anything that has peppermint in it, and laughing at anything and everything! She is very passionate about sailing and loves being outdoors and exploring! Much of her free time is spent finding more ways to go on the water whether it be on a boat, a paddleboard, etc, but she works extremely hard to stay out of the water (crazy but unless the water is really warm she works as hard as she can to stay out of the water)! She loves all kinds of design including architecture, product design, photography, painting, etc.
Danica enjoys hiking at night, waking up early to ski the flat-water, cat calendars, and gluten (“WHY AM I ALLERGIC”). Now as a student at Stanford she has ditched all that fun stuff for more intellectual activities. You can often find her impersonating animals, watching movies about baby monkeys, inventing new words and snorting with laughter. Oh, and she developed a love for innovation and design, empowering women to reach their fullest potentials, and creating a world that uses less energy (Refrigeration is cool!). Catch Danica anywhere outdoors (Psst... She’s the one slathering on the sunscreen).

Browns President Mike Holmgren is standing by the decision to give up three third-day draft picks to move up one spot in the first round of the NFL draft, saying his team had to be absolutely sure it would get Trent Richardson. But the Browns may have been bidding against only themselves when they were negotiating with the Vikings about swapping first-round picks.
The Browns’ biggest concern was that the Buccaneers, with the fifth overall pick, would leapfrog them and get the Vikings’ third pick, and take Richardson ahead of Cleveland. But Peter King writes at SI.com that while the Vikings talked to Tampa Bay about the pick, but the Bucs were never seriously interested in it.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the Browns were wrong to make the trade — it’s possible some team other than the Buccaneers would have moved up ahead of the Browns to take Richardson — and King argues that the Browns made the right move. But it does suggest that the Browns might have gotten their man even if they had held firm and decided to pick at No. 4.
It’s also another sign of what a good job the Bucs did of hiding their intentions before the draft. Everyone thought Tampa Bay wanted either Richardson or LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, but it turned out that they didn’t move up for Richardson and traded down when they were on the clock with a chance to draft Claiborne. The Bucs ended up moving back and taking Alabama safety Mark Barron seventh overall, then using the Jaguars’ fourth-round pick, which they got for their trade from No. 5 to No. 7, as ammunition to move back into the first round to take Boise State running back Doug Martin 31st overall.
Most people thought the Bucs wanted either an upgrade at running back with Richardson or an upgrade in the secondary with Claiborne, and that the best-case scenario for Tampa Bay was getting one or the other. As it turned out, they were able to upgrade both positions with Martin and Barron. Whether the Browns made the right move in trading up is debatable, but it’s hard to argue that the Buccaneers used smart draft-day trading to improve their roster in the first round.
A. They traded back once they missed out on him and B. They traded back into the 1st round to take a RB.
They were very interested in getting Trent.
At one point they were definitely interested in getting Trent. That is, until Dominik picked up the phone and heard what Holmgren wanted to move up to 3. I’m sure at that point Dominik had quite the chuckle before hanging up the phone. He wasn’t moving up…period. Tampa had too many holes to fill and needed all of their draft picks. Nice poker playing Spielman.
I have to wonder why the Browns organization continues to get a pass from the media after becoming somewhat of a circus in the offseason. The Browns can trade away picks for nothing, but if Jacksonville or Miami had done the same thing, we wouldn’t hear the end of it. Then there was relative silence on whiffing on the RG3 trade, other than a cursory article on Holmgren grumbling to save face. Now they’re twisting Colt McCoy in the wind after clumsily trying and failing to trade him over the weekend. Where is the Florio editorial-on-high about how ridiculous all of this is?
Bucs didn’t “want” the guy if they were unwilling to offer a 3rd rounder. Minny obviously would have taken their offer over the Browns if that was the case. At most, since Bucs didn’t have a 4th at the time, they could have offered a 5th, 6th, & 7th. That doesn’t necessarily scream that the Bucs really wanted Trent.
I have to wonder why the Browns organization continues to get a pass from the media after becoming somewhat of a circus in the offseason. The Browns can trade away picks for nothing, but if Jacksonville or Miami had done the same thing, we wouldn’t hear the end of it.
The Browns get a pass because at this point it’s just become way too sad. They’re like the troubled relative that nobody wants to talk about.
I love how Mike Holmgren is making himself look the fool, and how other teams are having fun making sure that everyone realizes just how much of a fool he is.
Horsepuckey! If Dominik didn’t inquire as to what the Vikes were asking he wouldn’t be doing his job.
if only the vikings were this crafty on the field.
The Factory of Sadness earns its negative reputation and is betting their season and credibility on a suspect draft.
As a Browns fan,I hope I eat these words, however, the hits just keep on coming.
“but it’s hard to argue that the Buccaneers used smart draft-day trading to improve their roster in the first round.” If that is exactly what M. Smith wants to say about the Bucs draft he is way off base and needs to rethink his analysis.
The Browns got fleeced by a GM/Management staff that has Kool-Aid in their veins instead blood. I said that that night that they panicked and ended up going against a phantom team for no reason. I was ticked off then and now it seems justifiably so. This is the Browns being the Browns. This, along with drafting Weeden at 22 when no one else was even thinking about him and we likely could have gotten him at #37 or later.
I think the last 2 years worth of drafts have been stellar, and this year’s Free Agency pick ups were exactly the things the Buccaneers needed.
I am excited to see this season, and what they’ll do. Freeman should be a lot better this year, he’ll have targets with Jackson and Williams, protection that he didn’t have last year, and a RB that’ll block for him and not fumble the ball.
Holmgren looks dumber with every passing day.
If they weren’t interested then why trade back into the 1st round to pick a RB? The vikes got low round picks, Browns had 13. Pretty sure they could spare a couple to get the best player in this draft class. Vikes got nothing more than practice squad players from those picks. Browns got NFL’S rushing leader 2012-2017. They also don’t need a media “pass”, cause the media spear score touchdowns or sell seats. My net is TB and MINN will be drafting at the top again next year.
If he would have fell to them at 5, then they would have taken him. But if you look at it. They have praticed Rhonde at safty, Cody Grimm is coming of a broken leg, Shawn Jones is just horrible, so they needed a safety. Who were the really gonna put back there Larry Asante or the kid Black! I think he pkayed it perfect. Now will it work….. Nobody knows!
Holmgren already failed once as GM. Why is anyone surprised that he is acting like a buffoon in his current GM role? People think he’s some kind of football czar that can do no wrong because he had some success as a coach. Coach and GM are two very different jobs. Eventually he’ll either give up on Cleveland himself or get fired, and return to coaching as if nothing happened.
Please. What are the Bucs supposed to say, “We wanted Trent but the Browns got him”?
Liar liar pants on fire… The bucs missed on both their guys so now they have to save face… This is like when when a hot girl dumps a guy and hes like oh yeah, she was crazy, i didnt really like her anyway… Hahahaha!!!!
Vikings GM Rick Spielman worked hard in the days before the draft to create a market for that trade. Getting the Browns to yield a 4th, 6th and 7th round pick to move up one spot is the work of a good GM manufacturing value.
Bull. Peter King is a notorious Browns hater. Seems like there is also no lack of Holmgren haters on this board. You’re all assuming that Tampa was the only potential trading partner for the #3. Browns GM Heckert knows Spielman very well and was assured by the latter that there were more than a couple of offers to move up. At the end of the day, all Heckert really gave away was a 7th rounder since he had an extra 4th rounder from last year’s Atlanta trade and an extra 5th from the Brady Quinn trade of two years ago. Earth to you geniuses: this is what such extra picks are used for. Duh! If Richardson runs for about 1,800 yards and scores 15 or so touchdowns this year, it’ll be interesting to see how many of you geniuses will admit that this was a good move. Oh, I forgot, the Browns in your view will always remain the same woebegotten lot of fools they were under Policy, Botch Davis, Crennel, and Phil “Opie” Savage. As the old saying goes, “the illusion of permanence is the folly of every age.” So, rave on, dudes. Let’s see how it plays out on the field this year and next.
They traded back into the first round by giving a early 2nd and got a complete back thats second to only T Rich. Another first round talent and the best safty in the draft, or Just the best rb in the draft? The Giants were gonna take Martin but they stole him. Filled two needs instead of one.
And if they wanted Clayborn they would have stayed at five!
Holmgren already failed once as GM. Why is anyone surprised that he is acting like a buffoon in his current GM role?
Yet another genius who can’t seem to figure out that Mike Holmgren IS NOT THE GM of the Cleveland Browns.
Plus, they only gave up late round picks, and rounds in which they had multiple selections as well. They had 13 picks going into the draft, no way they were going to use all of those.
It wasn’t a steep price to pay for the guy you really wanted.
So Washington is right to trade away 3 first round picks for RG3 but Cleveland is wrong to give up a 4th, 5th and 7th to move up one spot to get the guy many refer to as clearly the 3rd best player available in this draft and some even refer to him as the best player available. Tell me again who gave up too much?!
Best comment of them all Wilddeuce03.
Redskins mortgage their future for one guy, Browns trade away 3 late picks for a guy that is a safer pick anyway and they get blasted.
Holmgren – still riding that one good Favre year for all its worth, all these years later.
7th overall seems high for a SS, especially Barron. While very good, he didn’t ever strike me as an elite NFL prospect.
Oh well, the Browns got their man and the Bucs had to reach for a safety in the top 10. I’d say Cleveland came out of it just fine.
td40, oh how sorry I am. Heckert is the clown with the GM designation. Holmgren is still the one calling the shots as president, just like he did in Seattle. No difference.
Tampa made the right decision in not trading up, just too many holes to fill. Barron and Martin are the right selection.
Big time panic by Holmgren. That guy is scared of his own shadow!
Will holmgren blame the refs for this?
Holmgren may not have the title of GM but it’s naive to think he doesn’t approve all trades and picks. If he doesn’t then what does he do? Are we to believe they pay him a ton of money to NOT coach and NOT make personnel decisions? So what does he do there aside from drink all the creamer from the office mini fridges?
Why do browns fans think that the bucks picking a RB later is some proof that they wanted to trade up for Richardson? The only thing it proves is that the bucs did want a RB but they were smart enough to know that it was stupid to trade up to 3 when they could get a good RB later.
& if they wernt bidding against themselves & sombody would of jumped us & took TRich infront of us u would be bitching about that & blaming holmgren for not getting TRich.. Bottem line is the browns wanted & got there guy!!!
People really need to analyze Schiano’s style of defense before they try to comment on who the Bucs really wanted. There’s a handbook out there written by Pagano that broke down the defense in Miami when Schiano was DC and Butch Davis was the coach. Nearly everything revolves around the strong safety. He IS the QB of the defense.
Now is it possible that the Bucs would have preferred Richardson? Sure. Schiano also values those “bell cow” RBs. But the key point is that, if he did value him over Barron, it would have only been by a very minor amount. Not enough to trade away half our picks to get him. Certainly not with a back like Martin who, while he isn’t on Richardson’s level, is certainly a very good prospect nonetheless and is also very similar to Ray Rice in his play style, who Schiano of course coached in college. Let’s also remember that trading down rather than up not only let us get Martin, but Lavonte David as well.
Will it all work out? Who knows. Even the best looking drafts sometimes don’t live up to their potential in the long run. But on paper the Bucs really had a dream draft, and anyone who thinks they got fleeced by the Browns or Cowboys isn’t paying attention.
Looking back, would you draft Palamalu at #7 overall if you had the chance?
Ed Reed? Rod Woodson? Steve Atwater? Ronnie Lott?
No one can say anyone was a reach at this point. If you scouted a player, really thought he’d be a good fit for you, and you pick him at 7, and maybe he would have lasted until 11 or 12 until another team got him, then I don’t believe it’s a reach. The got the highest rated Safety in this years draft. He may be a flop, he may not. Let’s hold off on making those kind of assumptions until 2 or three years.
Just read steelammer92 comment, hey steelhammer92 were you dropped on your head as a baby?
rickyhawk88, the Browns gave Holmgren the same job he failed at years ago, only this time with a different job title. How is that so difficult to comprehend? And why isn’t it believable that he will fail once again?
Reach for safty… Im sorry did u not watch Barron play???
It’s funny how the Browns got fleeced my critics for giving up a 4th (had 2 ended up with 2), 5th,and 7th rounder for a gurantee at your man. by moving up 1 spot. Most players from 4th on out are role players if they make the team.
Washington gives up the farm to move up 4 spots and its a great trade. Pretty funny condsidering RG III may not be any better than Weedon wo the Browns selected at 22. This isn’t track and field, it’s football. I sure the Monday Morning QB’S will point to its a qb not a running back. The same critcics of the Browns who also like the RGIII trade probably loved Jamarcus Russell too.
Great move by the VIKES! they fleeced the Browns! With the addition of Jaruis Wright, Robert Blanton and Trevor Guyton (the picks from Cleveland) they are going to the Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Bucs did a great job in this draft. The fans are getting excited and buying tickets again. We are reloaded with new talent and a new no nonsense coach. This will be a very interesting season. GO BUCS!
I’m going to reserve judgment until I see if if T-Rich is a bust, and CB Robert Blanton, K Blair Walsh, and DE Scott Solomon (the players taken with the picks the Browns gave up) become pro-bowlers.
Are you kidding me, does it really matter at this point who was or wasnt really interested in trading up. Like Tampa would ever come out and admit they didnt get their guy. Cleveland assured themselves the pick, end of point! Richardson is a beast and I look forward as a Browns fan to watching him run year after year in the AFC North! Go Browns!
Bottem line the browns got there guy & gave up 3 late rnd picks to do it.. TRich is a brown & will add a toughness that the O was lacking.. So rip holmgren all you want but anybody that says were not a better team now then when he took over has to be drunk cuz nobody sober could be that stupid!
Mark Barron at 7 vs Morris Claiborne at 5.
Bottim (why not) line the Bucs miscalculated.
Go look up the type of defense Schiano was apart of at Miami under Butch Davis.
Its a defense that relies heavily on the safety.
I love how some clowns on here assume they know what went on in the Bucs draft room. Just because some idiots had Claiborne going to the Bucs in their mock draft doesn’t mean that’s what the Bucs actually wanted. Show me a mock draft with more than 7 or 8 of the 1st round picks chosen correctly.
The Bucs got their man in Barron. The Cowboys can have idiot Claiborne.
Too many holes to fill? When has that ever been a bad thing?
Browns had 13 picks, not a big deal to get rid of three 3rd day picks, especially since they had multiple picks in each round to make sure they get the guy the coveted.
Tampa did a great job in getting their needs met.
Minny got some extra picks and their guy.
And I assure you, if Richardson plays like he should, no one will remember the 3rd day picks given up for him.
Holmgren and the Browns coughed up a big nasty fur ball.
Look again at the picture. His nose is growing.
And the plan all along was to trade back and take…Mark Barron?

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most successful and influential anime series ever. The main protagonists in this series is Shinji Ikari. He’s the young son of Gendo Ikari, the commander of NERV. Gendo is a terrible father and is abusive towards well everyone. He abandons Shiji at one point.
This is important only because it explains why Shinji is so messed up. Shinji is described by the director of Evangelion as “as a boy who shrinks from human contact, and has “convinced himself that he is a completely unnecessary person, so much so that he cannot even commit suicide.” Simply put, he’s pathetic and he becomes grating. He has a “libido-destrudo conflict,” and several complexes.
I understand that Shinji is one of the most complex characters in anime, his father is an amoral human being, but I couldn’t help tire of his personality. I often found his voice to be annoying and wanted him to just shut up. Ultimately, the series was too good to be ruined by him and he does become less annoying as the series goes on.
That is a very understandable pick. My opinions of EVA aside, I do agree that Shinji is such an overrated character. I don’t mind a character who has some self-loathing issues or self-doubts, but they went overboard with Shinji.
He had too many problems. Many were understandable, but it made him annoying to say the least.
I certainly agree. The “I mustn’t run away” catchphrase was just the tip of the iceberg. Haha!
I’m glad that the show was too good to be ruined by him. I’ve never seen the series, but when I do eventually check it out I’ll remember to not have high hopes for Shinji.
It’s a series worth watching. Even Shinji couldn’t ruin it.
Shinji is like that because Shinji is seriously screwed up, and constantly screwed over by everyone around him. (Except Rei. God, I love her so much.) He is being used as a tool, and has no control over his life; there’s no wonder that he can do little except cringe.
I have a theory of Shinji that says part of the reason people dislike him is that they think if they were in his shoes, instead of being psychologically torn, they think they would say, “Oh, yeah, give me an EVA! Bring on the angels!” If there’s anything we have learned about training soldiers, it’s not that simple.
He’s annoying, but he’s important. He is the conscience of the series.
I think Shinji is the most important character in the series. However, the amount of abuses inflicted on him and complexes he developed, that influenced his state of mind felt like overkill.
I never read the manga version so I can only speak to how Shinji is presented in the anime. My understanding is that he’s somewhat different. I do think Evangelion can exist as a simple mecha anime and a more sophisticated psychological anime.

Irene Kim is one of the top models in South Korea, but elsewhere around the world, she’s on top of the list of every designer’s front row seats. With her signature rainbow-colored hairstyle, she rocks any kind of outfit with her modelesque looks, bubbly personality, and amazing confidence. And yes, she went to the Tory Burch runway show with a pajama-inspired ensemble and she still looked like a million bucks!
Bryan Boy hails from Manila and he’s been doing the fashion rounds for years, even before the slew of millennial bloggers came into the scene. This season, he’s upping the ante with his fur-trimmed print and camel Prada coat and changed it up with a more sleek, cleaner look as he watched the shows.
Expect California-born South Korean vlogger and style star Aimee Song to always bring her A-game when it comes to her OOTDs. This season, she keeps things interesting by wearing monotone looks and bright colors paired with covetable accessories like hand-held bags, booties, and sunnies (that are probably not even on the shelves yet).
Hot mom Chriselle Lim is keeping it chic and comfy in her power suits and chic coats as she makes a minimum of three changes per day! This Korean-American redefines what it means to be a multi-hyphenated empowered woman: she’s a fashion stylist, lifestyle and beauty blogger, digital influencer, and founder of The Chriselle Factor, and she now owns her own creative company!
Same as Bryan Boy, Kim Cam Jones also hails from Manila and has caught the eyes of major designers and editors with her sophisticated styles. Even though she started off as a TV lifestyle show host and commercial model, she heeded her passion for fashion and is now a content creator for her own website. This season, she’s rocking a new cropped ‘do which we predict will have every woman wanting freshly cut uneven bangs.
Another cool mom and fashion week staple is Eva Chen, former editor of Lucky and Teen Vogue, who’s renowned for her digital savvy and impressive social media following. She now works for Instagram as head of fashion partnerships. What makes her feed and Insta stories different is that her posts are always so relatable as she balances her work and two kids (who are just as savvy and adorable as she is). This season she brought out her designer coats (check out how she layered one over the other!) to beat out the tail end of NY’s winter cold.
Tina Leung is never afraid to get bright and bold, starting off with her platinum blonde hair. She wore a head-to-toe red Ralph Lauren suit and matched the lovely blooming scenery at the Tory Burch show with a floral dress.

Grace Dental and Medical Missions looks to the local church as our primary source of support, in both prayers and finances, and for missionary workers.
We devote considerable effort to visiting local churches to make them aware of medical missions and how our efforts dovetail with those of missionaries on the field. Since the local church is the primary sending agency of missionaries with a church planting focus we spend time at local church missions conferences explaining how dental and medical clinics contribute to missionary evangelism and church planting.
We are both a “helps” ministry for local church and missionary evangelism and also a mission board to work with local churches to prepare and send missionaries to the field. In the case of missionaries who desire to work on the field as part of a health care clinic or on a team with a doctor/dentist/nurse we view GDMMissions’ involvement as critical to helping these efforts succeed.

In the new comedy, “What Men Want,” Ali Davis (the superb Taraji P. Henson) is smart, fiercely driven, and is poised to make partner at Summit Worldwide Management, where she represents the top female athletes. With champagne at the ready, Ali’s celebration is cut short when she passed over for the promotion in favor of a male junior agent. Determined to show the men in her office that she can play in their lane, Ali announces that she is throwing her hat in the ring to sign the next NBA superstar. With the help of some mysterious tea, Ali can suddenly hear what the men around her are thinking and looks to finally level the playing field.
Directed by the Emmy-nominated Adam Shankman (“Hairspray,” “A Walk to Remember,” “The Wedding Planner”), “What Men Want” is an invigorating take on 2000’s “What Women Want,” helmed by Nancy Meyers, filled with both laugh-out-loud moments and plenty of heart. Academy Art U News recently sat down with Shankman to learn more about his new film, how being a choreographer influences his directing style, and why comedic outlets are so important these days.

What appealed to you the most about directing this film?
Taraji Henson was the reason. Candidly, I was looking to do a drama or a thriller. I wanted to shake everything up and sort of change my personal career narrative as it were. And when I heard she was doing this, I found that to be really interesting. I was sent the script, and it was incredibly funny, felt very timely, but with her in it, it felt very fresh and alive. And the opportunity to do something really legitimately funny, while saying something that felt of the moment, felt like a good opportunity.
I liked that Taraji embraced this role that’s a bit on the zanier side. When you have an actor that’s stepping outside of what audiences are used to seeing them do, how do you go about establishing an environment on set that allows them to let go?
In different ways. Taraji wanted to make a movie like this. After they’d hired me and I was talking to her about it, I sent her a piece of music. I sent her the original recording, the big band recording of “Sing, Sing, Sing,” and it’s just those crazy pulsating drums and horns and I said, “Here’s the movie and this is what you sound like in the movie. This is the character.” And I think that that really surprised her that I went through the piece of music, and I said that this is when this happens and this is when this happens. And I think she was so struck by the fact that that’s how I explained the movie to her. I think she was like, “Okay, why not?” Like, it was a totally different way of thinking about things. And she’s very musical in her approach to things. And I’ve worked with a lot of musical actors. Like, Steve Martin is incredibly musical. Jennifer Lopez, very musical. I mean, these people are rooted in their love of music in large part, as is Taraji.
And so we spoke that language; we spoke the language of that encyclopedic knowledge of old movies from the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s – those comedies. I said to her, I will not ever let this become a man bashing movie, which she was really happy about because she did not want to do that either. And I said this will never be a movie about a woman who is made whole by the love of a man. And she said, “Let’s make this thing. Let’s do this.” So once we had that dialogue and then she heard what was in my head, what the movie sounded like in a weird way, we were just all in. She also knew when you listen to that piece of music, you know it’s going to be physical. When you hear those tom-tom drums, it’s like, “Oh sh–, okay, here we go.” You know, this is not going to be two people sitting at a table in a restaurant having coffee.
Taraji’s character Ali works in sports management, a space that’s occupied primarily by men, and she’s extremely driven to be successful in a field where she’s had to carve out her spot at the table. How did you look to balance this aspect of Ali’s character with humor?
I think the best comedy happens when the person’s natural, emotional, or physical stakes are the most dramatic and the most authentic and the fact that this is an important thing for [Ali] is what makes the comedy work better.
One of the best comedies, I think, of the last decade is “Bridesmaids” because Kristen Wiig’s character was sinking deeper and deeper. [And] when she thought her life could just not get worse, it just got worse, and worse, and worse. And the fact that the one thing that she had to hold onto–this friendship–was being pulled away from her, made that movie be as funny as it was, but I think of “Bridesmaids” as the best drama of that year. So that’s how I think about comedy. I’m not the director who’s just like, let’s throw some more jokes at it. My feeling is if a scene’s not working, [don’t] throw another joke at it – let’s make the character’s emotional stakes higher. That’s my approach.

When you’re making a comedy, when do you know that you have that laugh?
You work on the script, you get it there, and then everybody just crosses their fingers. I’m lucky I have a very solid track record of delivering. I have garnered a lot of trust, and, with this one, I thought it was funny enough and smart enough and that is all the best I can do. And then everything else is up to the gods. It’s like any book, any article, any stories like that, everybody’s gonna have their opinion about it. I have literally no control over that. All I can do is do the best I can with the resources that I have.
As someone that does choreography, how does that influence how you direct your actors?
I’m very nimble in terms of when the actors come in, I will have it staged in my head in the mornings. There’s not a lot of times that an actor will walk in and I’ll go, “Oh, I don’t know where I want you to go.” I know where I want them to go. I know what I want the background to be. I know those things because my job for 30 years has been to move people around in space, basically. So that muscle is very alive in me. When, when I sent [Taraji] the music, that means that I was also suggesting that the movie was going to be very propulsive and very physical. And so that’s how I just directed it. I directed the camera that way. I directed the actors that way. I keep everything moving, I keep everything as alive as possible so that when things are still, that they’re still for a reason and that lands. People think that I embrace movement the most. Movement is easy for me; it’s stillness that I think is more compelling. Because in a world that’s so kinetic, when things stop, that’s a big statement.
You had Taraji surrounded by an incredible supporting cast. I really enjoyed her scenes with Josh Brener.
That relationship ended up being the most important one of the whole shoot. The way that they bonded off-camera because they are together for so much of the movie, it actually took a lot off of my plate because the level of support that they gave each other was unquantifiable in terms of how much it helped me. They absolutely loved each other so much. It was just great to see and those scenes work really well and were very easy to shoot because they played so well off each other.

You also had Phoebe Robinson and Pete Davidson who are both making their mark right now. What made you think of them for this film?
When you bring in people like that, you’re bringing in an energy of people who know that this isn’t just another job. They haven’t been worn down by the industry. They haven’t had the number of disappointments that would make somebody salty. They are wild cards because you don’t know everything that they are going to offer. I asked both of them to do the movie because I’m a fan of theirs, and so I asked them a lot. [laughs] Phoebe has an insane schedule and Pete has a really tough schedule, so getting them to Atlanta [for the shoot] was challenging.
These days it can be tough to find the humor in things, but I think that laughter is such a vital emotional release.
Why do you think it’s important to have these comedic outlets, like your film, right now?
Even coming into a theater so you can share laughter with people is something that has been devalued in the marketplace right now. When you see this movie and you are sharing this laughter with a big group of people. It is like a collective sigh and a release from all of the negativity and tension for just those two hours that you’re in it. And I have experienced that now with this movie time and again, and because so much of comedy has moved into the streaming space that we just aren’t getting as much of it in the theaters. And so when a good one, like I hope people feel like this one is, comes along, when you are collectively sharing that laugh, especially at things that are legitimately laugh-worthy, then it’s a great thing.
At the Academy of Art, we have a variety of entertainment-related disciplines, including directing. What kind of advice do you have for students that are getting ready to start their thesis films?
You can’t have an ego. You have to try to get as much on the page as possible. Try to feel as good about the script and really understand it in your heart of hearts what you think you’re making your [film] about. Keep that at the center of your heart. You cannot get hit by the train of this success without being on the tracks of this business, you just have to be as true to yourself. I have made things that were very true to myself and I made things that were not, and it hurts me, actually, when I think about things because these things live on forever and it does not go away. So when you make something that you don’t feel like you did great, it’s partially how you identify yourself and it can be very treacherous that you have to just keep going on because you have to believe in it. Believe in yourself.

60 hours and 33 minutes online this week. I spent 17 hours, 32 minutes on Microsoft Word and Blogger. 13 hours and 29 minutes reading poker books. 12 hours and 18 minutes wasting time -- the top 4 sites Quora (1), Facebook (2), New York Times (3), and WSJ (4). Spent 4 hours reading on the Kindle. 3 hours and 48 minutes on email.
After 16 weeks plotting internet time, I’ve come to a simple-but-stunning conclusion: the best strategy to reduce time staring-at-a-computer is to have a more interesting, more irreplaceable offline life. That’s what made New York work; that’s what made Yale work. In Manila, without a strong community or a significant sense of purpose, I’m resorting to the Internet as a placeholder.
Online time is inversely proportional to the robustness of offline life. For it, being online only fills an offline void. Developing stronger willpower is no panacea: it doesn’t address the root problem. The 12 hours I’m wasting every week – if I was fervent about something (like poker!), it'd be transferred over.
The Internet is still irreplaceable, of course. The first five minutes every day have unbelievably high marginal utility – who tagged this picture?; Ryan Howard did what in the 9th inning?; OMG look at this email – but after the initial social discovery, the payoff drops dramatically.
Alright. Here are my links this week.
I’ve read every article on Jobs. I don’t believe in pithy statements – like his Stanford Commencement speech – having tangible real-world effect on individual lives (maybe more a diluted good feeling), but hey, he was better than Tom Hanks. The Atlantic talks about why him being bad was actually good; TechCrunch on how he could say no; a NYT exclusive focuses on how he managed his limited time left on Earth. Let’s go back a step: the NYT actually has two great recap posts on his life and legacy, one on the front page and one on Pogue’s blog, when he argues another Jobs will never exist. Quora on Steve Jobs’ most profound quotation; TechCrunch on staying hungry.
In other news, Cupertino, the town where I’ve never even read about a violent crime, had a 3-man-dead, 13-men-wounded killing spree on the day Jobs died. The perp’s been caught, no worries, but also shot to death, so we’ll never know his motivations. One of my friends from back home posted on Facebook – “adsfas” – which, as devilishly inconsiderate as it sounds, might be right. Though I wouldn’t brag about it.
I have an internal conflict with the internet. On one hand, it’s sucking out my soul. On the other side, it’s filled with hilarious people, like Danny Chun, a writer for the Simpsons and the Office. His tweets are spot on. Plus, if you’re still in high school, 15-year-old fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson’s new website, Rookie, designed for self-conscious, slightly embittered high schoolers, is pop rocks. The middle skool piece about relationships touches a nerve, and girl hate, according to my sources, is alive and kicking, even (especially?) at Yale. And all these popular internet memes! I could be spending 250 hours a week online!
My favorite profile in a long time is a behind the scenes look at Taylor Swift. You need a New Yorker password for access, but I really, really want you to read it. So email me and I’ll forward my account information. And read her blog/journal. The stadiums she performs at – incredible.
The rest of the reading, ordered from best-written to worst-written. (1) The Yale Daily News, Marina K. (she’s going to be a famous writer someday, mark my words) writes about the lackluster reasons to enter finance and consulting. I’m an artichoke, too. (2) Did you know that the most active group in online dating are…people over 55 years old?!@! (3) Everything that Governor Christie says is pabulum. (4) The question Ivy-League types might be perfectly comfortable asking ourselves: are we super-people, or just faking it? (5) What’s behind the little spot drawings in the New Yorker? (6) A Billy Beane interview on the state of the Oakland A’s. Love it. (7) Programmers complaining how hard their jobs are. (8) Could you survive on $1000 a month? (9): My new favorite YouTube Asian-American artist is Jason Chen. “How To Love” cover? Soulful.

The most common cause in children >5Y is detrusor instability.
Common reversible causes: UTI, constipation, emotional stress.
Diagnosis requires a full voiding and bowel history with examination to exclude neurological disorders.
Treatment with oxybutynin, fluid restriction, bladder training and behavioural therapies may be effective.
This is where a patient wets the bed after the age at which you would expect them not to.
At first, all children will wet the bed at night. This is normal, and occurs when the child has not yet learned to manually control their sphincter. Girls usually manage to achieve this before boys; most girls stay dry by about age6, while in boys it is age 7. By age 10, 95% of children stay dry at night.
Vasopressin (ADH) – normal cyclical patterns of this hormones secretion mean that higher levels are secreted at night, and so there is less urine produced at night. When you are born, the cyclical secretion of this has not yet developed- and in some people it does not develop properly (perhaps less than 10% of enuresis patients – and hereditary factors may be involved). You can take a nasal spray of this hormone before bed to prevent bed wetting – however prolonged use of this is not recommended.
Ability to recognise when bladder is full- this is another mechanism that develops as the child grows, and it is independent of the vasopressin mechanism.
At age 5, 20% of children will bed wet.
Even after the age of 18, up to 1% of people will wet the bed.
Primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE)– this is where the child has never experienced a period of prolonged dryness and continues to wet the bed more than 2 nights a week after the age at which they would be expected to have outgrown the phenomenon.
Secondary nocturnal enuresis(SNE) – this occurs after the child has had a period of at least 6 months without bed wetting. It can be related to emotional stress and bladder infection.
As well as the causes discussed above, up to 10% of children who bed wet may have a defect of the urinary tract that causes their problems.
Waiting! – many parents get anxious when their child wets the bed, but often they will outgrow it if you give them long enough. Some research shows that punishing a child for bed wetting can make the situation worse, as the punishments results in lower self-esteem and a downward spiral of symptoms.
Alarm – the child wears an alarm at night time that is attached to their pants, and goes off when they get wet. This wakes up the child, and helps them to associate the feeling of a full bladder, with having to wake up. These alarms make children 13x more likely to stop bed wetting, however there is a high relapse rate (up to 50%) and treatment regimens often have to be repeated.
Most commonly due to constipation in children with psychological predisposing factors.
History and examination is required to rule out physical cause e.g. celiac disease and Hirschsprung’s disease.
Management involves explaining the physiology of the condition (remove blame from child); treatment of constipation (stimulant laxative); behavioural strategies (toilet-sitting times).

07939 numbers are for mobile phones in the United Kingdom.
Which network uses 07939 numbers?
07939 numbers are officially allocated to EE for mobile phone services.
All 07939 numbers will have originally been issued to customers by EE. However, customers are free to take their number with them when they change networks which means that an 07939 number is not a reliable indicator of which network a phone is currently connected to.

Thanks for these guides adshap!
I completely agree with you; it is a great drama. It was the second one that I watched and I really got into it, and I think that helped me come to appreciate JDramas now. Not only that, but the Japanese subs for it were easy to find which was nice as well.
I’ve recently been going through your other suggestions and have really been enjoying them so far. I haven’t thanked you for them yet, so thanks!
If you have any favorites that you like from the guides, definitely leave comments about them! I think people are more likely to get excited to watch them if other people are also enjoying them as well.
It’s a really fun drama. I was almost considering discontinuing the guides because I thought no one was actually using them, but I guess I will continue them!
I absolutely loved it. Burned through it in two sittings (which would have been one sitting if I didn’t have to go to work). Really, really great stuff. A shonen fighting anime in drama form!
Are there any other fighting dramas you can recommend like this?
Holy land was pretty unique.
Then again these are more high school fighting, and not street fighting like in Holy Land.

I wish I could go back in time to meet my 10-year-old self. It would be so awesome to tell her what she would be doing when she grows up. She wouldn’t believe me, either.
As a young girl in a very traditional household, my life goals were to grow up, get a job, get married and raise a family. Motorcycles were on TV and in movies, totally off limits and nowhere on my radar.
Perhaps I should’ve taken it as an omen when my older brother bought a Honda Elite 150 scooter in high school and shuttled me to my friend’s house across town one day. I was terrified but secretly loved it. I remember him turning left at a stop light and thinking to myself, “I’m having so much fun, but I’m so scared.” But as a little girl, I just wrote that off as a fantasy. Who knew that this was the start of a snowball effect that would take over later in life as I began exploring a motorized life on two wheels.
Riding was never, ever in my future as far as I was concerned. That was for rebels, courageous people, women with big ovaries. Not this short, shrimpy woman who grew up as a clumsy little girl walking down the street (now I’m just a clumsy adult). Yet here I am, all grown up, riding motorcycles (often alone, without my husband) and loving every minute of it. I never plan to stop until my arthritic body screams for mercy. You’ll have to pry the handgrips from my cold, dead hands!
A humble, 50 cc scooter, bought purely for practical reasons, became a gateway drug to a lifetime of motorcycle addiction. Gearchic.com photo.
So how did I go from that first scooter ride to becoming a passionate motorcyclist? Well, it starts with marrying my college sweetheart. He then planted the seed for buying a scooter, because when you start out your newly married life in San Francisco (or almost any big city), it’s the best form of transportation: high gas mileage, useful storage, easy to ride, easy to park and ridiculously affordable. And that’s what it was, transportation. Nothing more.
But even riding a scooter wasn’t the easiest for me.
We bought a 2003 Aprilia Scarabeo 50 cc Ditech. It was lightweight but also tall (30-inch seat height), so I didn’t take to it very quickly. I was the reluctant scooterist. I had to warm up to the idea and force myself to take it beyond our driveway. I also dropped her a couple times and didn’t think I’d ever learn how to ride it alone.
I don't know if it was my husband’s absence on a business trip that forced me to conquer this fear, but somehow I knew I wanted to ride it even more. Never before had I experienced an awakening, so to speak, where I realized how capable I was. It didn’t even occur to me that I might be undersized with a short (about 28-inch) inseam. I began riding it to work every day on my 4.5-mile commute downtown. No more bus rides! I also used it to run errands everywhere, since parking and getting around city streets were more efficient and less time-consuming. The self-confidence I gained really changed me without me knowing it.
My scooter taught me what it would be like to be on a motorcycle: how to navigate city traffic without the safety of a roll cage, airbags and seat belts; and more importantly, how to scan for potential hazards. Looking back, it was incredibly liberating to feel comfortable without worrying about shifting or stalling. (If you remember your first days learning, you probably remember that shifting anxiety). I think half the battle when you’re first starting out is getting used to a completely different environment, so far away from your comfort zone you feel like you're on another planet.
A year later, my husband had to buy a motorcycle because I had the scooter all the time. Don’t feel bad for him. He worked from home and had no commute, so why did he need a scooter anyway? I was the one riding to work every day!
He wanted his own bike and decided he was ready for a Kawasaki Ninja 250. So that was the plan: He rides a motorcycle and I ride a scooter. It was a very short-lived plan.
It was my husband's motorcycle, but I kept stealing it to ride to work. Gearchic.com photo.
We rode from San Francisco to Los Angeles at least twice and I spent a couple of years gaining self-confidence and learning what I could do and couldn’t do. That made a huge difference when I moved up the ladder to a heavier, taller bike. I was confident I could handle it.
Once I successfully stole the Ninja for myself, I replaced the gray bodywork with yellow and rode it up and down the California coast and beyond, gaining confidence all the way. Gearchic.com photo.
Who knew a scooter could teach you so many things about motorcycles? And who knew that a simple little 50 cc scooter bought purely for practical reasons would put me on a road that led to thousands of miles of riding, including the Tail of the Dragon on a Triumph Street Triple that a younger me would never have dreamed was possible?
I think more riders should start on something simple, because everything you learn will translate to the biggest, baddest motorcycle you want to ride. It’s just a question of continuing to learn.
A scooter was a gateway drug for me to the addicting world of motorcycles. What was yours?

Major companies have publicly exposed messages containing sensitive information due to a user-controlled configuration error in Google Groups.
Researchers at RedLock Cloud Security Intelligence (CSI) discovered Google Groups belonging to hundreds of companies inadvertently exposed personally identifiable information (PII) including customer names, passwords, email and home addresses, salary compensation details, and sales pipeline data. Internal messages also exposed business strategies, which could create competitive risk if in the wrong hands, explains RedLock cofounder and CEO Varun Badhwar.
The Weather Company, the IBM-owned operator of weather.com and intellicast.com, is among the companies affected. Fusion Media Group, parent company of Gizmodo, The Onion, Jezebel, Lifehacker, and other properties made the same mistake.
"The RedLock CSI team only looked for a sample of [Google Groups] cases and found dozens," says Badhwar of this research. "Extending that, there are likely hundreds of companies affected by this misconfiguration."
Google Groups is a G Suite chat application organizations use to create and participate in email-based group chats and online forums. During the configuration process, admins can set the sharing option for "Outside this domain - access to groups" to make messages public or private.
The companies that leaked data accidentally chose the sharing setting "public on the Internet," which enabled anyone on the Web to access all information contained in their messages. RedLock advises all companies using Google Groups to ensure "private" is the sharing setting for "Outside this domain-access to groups."
RedLock's CSI team routinely checks various cloud infrastructure tools for threat vectors, and monitors publicly available data to detect misconfigurations that could cause security incidents, explains Badhwar. To date, the team has found more than 4.8 million exposed records resulting from cloud misconfiguration problems.
This is the latest example of organizations mistakenly exposing data by failing to properly configure their public cloud settings.
Shortly before RedLock announced its findings, a data leak at Dow Jones & Co. exposed millions of customers' personal information due to a configuration error in an Amazon Web Services S3 bucket. The repository had its settings configured to let any AWS authenticated user access its data, making it available to any of the one million users with a free AWS account.
Dow Jones confirmed 2.2 million people were exposed; however, Upguard, which discovered the leak, places that number around four million based on the bucket's size and composition. While Dow Jones has "no reason to believe" any of the data was stolen, its incident is one of many signs that companies are struggling to securely adopt cloud services.
Earlier this year, Upguard discovered Deep Root Analytics accidentally leaked millions of voter records from an unsecured public storage account. Exposed data included phone numbers, birthdates, home and mailing addresses, party affiliation, and self-reported racial background.
The analytics firm, working on behalf of the Republican National Committee, had set its S3 storage bucket files to public instead of private. Most records had permissions to be downloaded and files could be accessed without a password.
"The public cloud can be highly secure when configured correctly, but what we're seeing is there's an overarching learning curve when it comes to how organizations should properly secure cloud applications and public cloud infrastructure," says Badhwar.
Unfortunately, many companies are struggling with basic security. Badhwar says the RedLock CSI team found 40% of organizations have exposed a public cloud resource by incorrectly configuring sharing settings, leading to the recent series of major leaks.
"Simple misconfiguration errors -- whether in SaaS applications or cloud infrastructure -- can have potentially devastating effects," he adds, citing instances of similar mistakes at WWE and Booz Allen Hamilton.
It's important for businesses to teach employees about security practices and tools they can use to automate the process of securing applications, workloads, and systems. Until this education happens, he anticipates we will continue to see these problems.
Great article! Between accidental oversharing from simple user errors (setting sharing to 'public') and not correctly setting permissions due to potentially confusing nameing schemes ('Any Authenticated AWS User' in Amazon S3 buckets being the latest trend) the cloud is proving that user education continues to be an incredibly important topic. Now instead of clicking a link in a phishing email and accidentally exposing a single system to compromise misconfigured clouds are exposing LARGE quantities of data without the need for external action from potential adversaries.

Queensland based Whitelaw Engineering Machinery has released the latest model Scorpio CNC Vertical Automatic Bandsaw from Europe’s leading manufacturer of bandsaws – FMB.
The Scorpio offers a range of unique features through its innovative approach to sawing and material flow.
With a large cutting capacity of 25” x 20” (635 x 510mm) and a vertical tilt head that tilts up to 60º left and right and with a saw head that is on a 3º slant, the FMB Scorpio delivers the fastest cut available in a machine of this type.
“The Scorpio CNC is an exciting development in sawing and material handling allowing the complete optimisation of material,” said Whitelaw Engineering General Manager Dimitri Zouppas. “Due to the encoder measuring system coupled with the automatic feed and mitre during the cutting cycle, the machine is unique in respect to operational speed and minimal material waste,’ he said.
The Scorpio machine comes standard with vertical clamping and can handle multiple types of material such as flat bar, square, rectangular section, tube/pipe, channel and beams.
The large 34mm wide rigid blade ensures a straight cut and blade life is extended by an efficient mist spray coolant system that also maintains a clean work area.
Cutting capacity of the machine at 0º is 510mm for Round and Square and 635 x 510mm for Rectangular section.
The unlimited material feed uses rollers driven by a brushless motor ensuring optimum efficiency at low revs and a fly encoder roller provides accurate measurement of the material as it feeds. The material is automatically exchanged from the left to the right side of the machine in order to cut the end piece of the material.
Clamping is achieved via a double vice controlled by a hydraulic cylinder with fixed jaws enabling fast easy loading.
Easy operator programming and control is achieved via a 7” colour LCD digital control touch panel with full graphic functions and an auto diagnostic function with display alarms. There are up to 100 different programs with 100 steps for each program with easy software upgrades via a USB port. The innovative and advanced FMB Scorpio offers reduced cycle times as a result of the automated material setup and can perform single cuts in semi-automatic mode.
Whitelaw Engineering Machinery, the agent for FMB in Australia and NZ for more than 25 years, has a Scorpio machine available in stock for demonstration.

It is crucial to look to Scripture to define the roles God designed for our marriages. Some of the things Scripture says won’t be what you hear from the world, on television, or from your friends. But God created marriage. It is His institution, and He sets the rules. And the first thing He tells men to do is to love their wives. You might think this goes without saying, but our world has so devalued love that we must emphasize it in our marriages.
People say, “I love my job. I love my house. I love chocolate cake.” Generally, what they mean is they love what those things do for them. But when the Bible talks about love, it defines love as the sacrifice you make for the betterment of someone else.
To say that a man loves his wife is to say that he makes sacrifices for her. Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” To talk about love is to talk about the cross of Calvary and the sacrifice of our Savior. Jesus didn’t die for us because we were lovable; Jesus died for us to make us lovable. Christ's example is to be our example on how to initiate love in our relationships.

I have some quiet time this Sunday morning in my hotel room after a hectic week on the road, so it seems like a good time and place to bring up statistician William Briggs’ recent essay and to add some thoughts of my own. Briggs has taken a look at what he thinks will be going on with the Berekeley Earth Surface Temperature project (BEST). He points out the work of David Brillinger whom I met with for about an hour during my visit. Briggs isn’t far off.
Brillinger, another affable Canadian from Toronto, with an office covered in posters to remind him of his roots, has not even a hint of the arrogance and advance certainty that we’ve seen from people like Dr. Kevin Trenberth. He’s much more like Steve McIntyre in his demeanor and approach. In fact, the entire team seems dedicated to providing an open source, fully transparent, and replicable method no matter whether their new metric shows a trend of warming, cooling, or no trend at all, which is how it should be. I’ve seen some of the methodology, and I’m pleased to say that their design handles many of the issues skeptics have raised and has done so in ways that are unique to the problem.
Mind you, these scientists at LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Labs) are used to working with huge particle accelerator datasets to find minute signals in the midst of seas of noise. Another person on the team, Dr. Robert Jacobsen, is an expert in analysis of large data sets. His expertise in managing reams of noisy data is being applied to the problem of the very noisy and very sporadic station data. The approaches that I’ve seen during my visit give me far more confidence than the “homogenization solves all” claims from NOAA and NASA GISS, and that the BEST result will be closer to the ground truth that anything we’ve seen.
But as the famous saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. Different methods yield different results. In science, sometimes methods are tried, published, and then discarded when superior methods become known and accepted. I think, based on what I’ve seen, that BEST has a superior method. Of course that is just my opinion, with all of it’s baggage; it remains to be seen how the rest of the scientific community will react when they publish.
In the meantime, never mind the yipping from climate chihuahuas like Joe Romm over at Climate Progress who are trying to destroy the credibility of the project before it even produces a result (hmmm, where have we seen that before?) , it is simply the modus operandi of the fearful, who don’t want anything to compete with the “certainty” of climate change they have been pushing courtesy NOAA and GISS results.
One thing Romm won’t tell you, but I will, is that one of the team members is a serious AGW proponent, one who yields some very great influence because his work has been seen by millions. Yet many people don’t know of him, so I’ll introduce him by his work.
And who is the lead scientist for BEST? One and the same. Now contrast Rohde with Dr. Muller who has gone on record as saying that he disagrees with some of the methods seen in previous science related to the issue. We have what some would call a “warmist” and a “skeptic” both leading a project. When has that ever happened in Climate Science?
Other than making a lot of graphical art that represents the data at hand, Rohde hasn’t been very outspoken, which is why few people have heard of him. I met with him and I can say that Mann, Hansen, Jones, or Trenberth he isn’t. What struck me most about Rohde, besides his quiet demeanor, was the fact that is was he who came up with a method to deal with one of the greatest problems in the surface temperature record that skeptics have been discussing. His method, which I’ve been given in confidence and agreed not to discuss, gave me me one of those “Gee whiz, why didn’t I think of that?” moments. So, the fact that he was willing to look at the problem fresh, and come up with a solution that speaks to skeptical concerns, gives me greater confidence that he isn’t just another Hansen and Jones re-run.
But here’s the thing: I have no certainty nor expectations in the results. Like them, I have no idea whether it will show more warming, about the same, no change, or cooling in the land surface temperature record they are analyzing. Neither do they, as they have not run the full data set, only small test runs on certain areas to evaluate the code. However, I can say that having examined the method, on the surface it seems to be a novel approach that handles many of the issues that have been raised.
As a reflection of my increased confidence, I have provided them with my surfacestations.org dataset to allow them to use it to run a comparisons against their data. The only caveat being that they won’t release my data publicly until our upcoming paper and the supplemental info (SI) has been published. Unlike NCDC and Menne et al, they respect my right to first publication of my own data and have agreed.
And, I’m prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong. I’m taking this bold step because the method has promise. So let’s not pay attention to the little yippers who want to tear it down before they even see the results. I haven’t seen the global result, nobody has, not even the home team, but the method isn’t the madness that we’ve seen from NOAA, NCDC, GISS, and CRU, and, there aren’t any monetary strings attached to the result that I can tell. If the project was terminated tomorrow, nobody loses jobs, no large government programs get shut down, and no dependent programs crash either. That lack of strings attached to funding, plus the broad mix of people involved especially those who have previous experience in handling large data sets gives me greater confidence in the result being closer to a bona fide ground truth than anything we’ve seen yet. Dr. Fred Singer also gives a tentative endorsement of the methods.
My gut feeling? The possibility that we may get the elusive “grand unified temperature” for the planet is higher than ever before. Let’s give it a chance.
This is good news! The first global temperature data-set where the raw data, the methodology and code used to produce it available is made available for use by all. At last we should have a solid foundation to start unravelling how climate works.
This doesn’t mean it will tell us the cause of the observed temperature changes, or that linear trends will start to have meaning, but is a first baby step to clearing the decks of the rubbish science which has gone before. If only this approach had been used 30 years ago, perhaps climate science would now be seen a better light.
Yes. Given the intensity with which Anthony has studied the field, if this group has his endorsement, that’s good enough for me. The team seems to be a mix of people from both ‘sides’ of the debate too. A better balance hopefully everyone can be happy with.
First, BEST seems to have about five times as much temperature data as GHCN. I’d love to know where they got it from.
Second, they say they’re not going to provide gridded data. Does this mean that all we’re going to get is a global time series? I hope not. We need regional series too.
Third, they say they are in fact going to apply homogenization algorithms.
Fourth, one tried and tested approach for averaging spatially-erratic data is kriging. We use it all the time in mining, but as far as I know it’s never been applied to the temperature records. BEST doesn’t mention it either.
More comments when the results come out. Anyone know when this might be?
Does he still support this?

Rainer Elstermann was born in West-Berlin in 1965. He took his first self-portrait-photographs when he was 17 years old. In 1983 when he was 18 he started working with the avantgarde experimental super-8 film production company Teufelsberg Produktion. In 1984 he began being seriously involved with photography after his uncle gave him a complete dark-room equipment. Further encouragment came by the way of famous fashion photographer Paolo Roversi who photographed Rainer Elstermann for Italien Vogue in 1985. After seeing his portfolio he insisted Rainer should be a fashion photographer in Paris. Instead Rainer Elstermann moved to London in 1988 where he remained until 1992, realizing little art projects and exploring photography. First assignements followed. In 1999 he started his studio as an advertising photographer. From 2006 Rainer Elstermann projects moved again towards Art photography and since 2009 he is exclusively concentrating on Art. Also in 2006 he met Andreas Stamm and they have been working together since.

In my line of work, I tend to speak with lots of women, many of whom say they don’t care how they look. But doesn’t how you look on the outside often represent how you feel inside? I certainly think so.
As you probably noticed, I haven’t had a blog post in a while. I caught something nasty last week and have had a really hard time shaking it. What I’ve noticed during the past week (and you’ve probably noticed if you’ve seen me) is that the worse I feel, the worse I look. I don’t mean that I look sick. What I mean is that I haven’t taken care of my outward appearance as much as I usually do. I usually spend 5-10 minutes in the morning grabbing a watch, some earrings, basic bracelets, sometimes a necklace, and throw on I quick look to make myself presentable. I’m a pretty pleasant person to be around, so I’m not hiding behind a façade…but I do care about how I present myself to the world. So why the change in the last week? My inner feelings were reflected in my outer appearance.
So when someone tells me that they don’t care about what they look like, I start to wonder if it’s a reflection on how they feel. When talking with them a bit more, the REAL reason usually comes out. Some women feel like everyone else is more important than they are. Some think that they don’t deserve to look good. Some women think it’s selfish to spend time on themselves. And some women think they’re not pretty enough to bother. Shocking? It’s true…and I used to be one of them.
But what I’ve realized over the last 2 years in this business is that it doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin, old or young, tall or short, or anything in between. None of that matters. What matters is how you feel about yourself. And how you present yourself to the world should show the world how you feel about yourself. This isn’t something that you can be taught, you have to find out for yourself. Otherwise, I would have learned this years ago.
If someone asked me if I had one wish for my business, it would be to help women unveil on the outside how beautiful they are on the inside. By becoming a spa consultant, I’m hoping I can help make the world a beautiful place, one woman at a time.

Through the divine power of God, these holy saints could defy the laws of gravity.
Being the creator and sustainer of the universe, God has the power to bend the rules every once and a while. This happened throughout the Bible and continues to this very day.
In particular, sometimes the holiness of an individual will be so great that God will work countless miracles through them. On occasion this takes the form of a supernatural phenomenon that has become the subject of science fiction.
Throughout history there have been many saints who were lifted up off the ground by God’s divine hand, making it appear to others that they could fly. These saints did not ask for this gift and saw it more as a cross to bear than a special ability.
Here are six such saints who, during their life on earth, were beacons of such holiness that it was sometimes revealed in their supernatural ability to levitate.

There is something that the bible refers to as our “Horn”; the bible denotes it to our head. Today’s message is a prayer to declare; My Horn shall be exalted; it could also mean; My Head shall be exalted; My Head shall be lifted. This means it is possible for a person’s head not to be lifted. I decree; Every Head that is below; become lifted in the name of Jesus.
The word “horn” is used both literally and symbolically in the Bible. It is used to describe a growth on the head of animals. The horn of dead animals is sometimes converted to musical instruments or used as vessel for anointing oil.
The horn is a symbol of power, help, glory and victory.
Horn being exalted signifies success and victory and when a broken horn; it signifies defeat.
What does it mean for your horn to be exalted?
1. To be victorious over your enemies; your mouth becomes larger than your enemies.
2. When you become too hot for the enemies to attack.
3. When the lord answers your prayers.
4. When you become a terror to the enemy.
5. When you get unimaginable promotion.
6. When you get receive before even asking.
7. When you are surrounded with favour roundabout.
8. You God catapult you to the top that you can never imagine.
Ø David: He was so favored and referred to as the apple of God’s eye; David was promoted to a King while a king was still on the throne.
Ø Hannah: The lord put laughter in her mouth.
Ø Moses: The lord used him to perform mouth opening miracles.
Ø Abraham: He was blessed beyond imagination.
Ø Joshua: God gave him victory round about.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He has not changed. We need to call upon him to exalt our horn so that we can flourish.
We will also ask that God damage the horn of our enemies so that they will not be able to overcome us.
We are the righteous of God; therefore we need to take our place.
Condition for your Horn to be exalted.
2. Consistently live a righteous life: Right standing with God.
4. Cry a loud; that your Horn be exalted.
1. Every altar planning my demotion, I curse you, in the name of Jesus.
3. I break the yoke of backwardness assigned against my destiny, in the name of Jesus.
4. O God, arise and give me a turnaround miracle, in the name of Jesus.
5. O God, arise and connect me to my helpers, in the name of Jesus.
6. Coffins of darkness, assigned against me, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
7. O God, arise and open your treasures unto me, in the name of Jesus.
8. O God arise and give me open heavens, in the name of Jesus.
9. After the order of Peter, O Lord, deliver me from the expectation of the wicked, in the name of Jesus.
10. O Lord, make me a candidate of supernatural surprises, in the name of Jesus.
11. By fire, by force, O God, launch me into my next level, in the name of Jesus.
12. O God arise and restore my past losses, in the name of Jesus.
13. Thou power of God, disgrace my detractors, in the name of Jesus.
14. Any evil meeting summoned against my destiny, receive confusion, in the name of Jesus.
15. Disgrace, hear the word of the Lord, go back to the sender, in the name of Jesus.
16. Lord, contend with them that contend with me, in the name of Jesus.
17. Lord, let my generation celebrate me, in the name of Jesus.
18. Every arrow of mourning and sorrow, backfire, in the name of Jesus.
19. O God, arise, turn my past mistakes to miracles, in the name of Jesus.
20. O God, arise and increase the speed of my progress, in the name of Jesus.

The Nittany Lions were stuck in a traffic jam after the Tournament of Roses Parade. Eventually, the Pasadena police chief allowed the team to drive on sidewalks and lawns in order to get to the stadium, according to Pasadena Star-News reports.
Henderson was furious when Penn State arrived at about 2:30 p.m., according to the Star-News. As Bezdek made his way to the field, Henderson confronted him, accusing him of delaying the game as a psychological tactic. The two exchanged harsh words on the field.
“As legend has it, the Penn State coach challenged the SC coach to a fight on the 50-yard line,” Jenkins said.
The Tournament of Roses president, John J. Mitchell, stopped the two from fighting, putting an end to the thorny situation. Before he died in 1965, Henderson said in “The Trojan Heritage: A Pictorial History of USC Football” that he told Bezdek he would let the teams settle it on the field.
The game finally kicked off just after 3 p.m., and the Trojans defeated the Nittany Lions 14-3. The game ended in the Southern California twilight, and sports writers were said to have finished penning their stories by striking matches for light.

Michael Brown protesters interrupted the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's concert on Saturday night, causing a brief delay in the performance at Powell Symphony Hall.
The orchestra and chorus were preparing to perform Johannes Brahms' Requiem just after intermission when two audience members in the middle aisle on the main floor began singing an old civil rights tune, "Which Side are You on?" They soon were joined, in harmony, by other protesters, who stood at seats in various locations on the main floor and in the balcony.
The five-minute interruption was met with a smattering of applause from some audience members, as well as members of the orchestra and chorus. Others simply watched as the orchestra remained silent.
The protest ended quietly as participants left voluntarily, chanting, “Black lives matter.” Conductor Markus Stenz resumed the concert shortly thereafter.
SLSO publicist Erika Ebsworth-Goold said the protesters were paying members of the audience. She said they left the building peacefully.

Over the years I have done hundreds of color consults. The basis of all my home designs — whether hanging art, furnishing a room, or doing a remodel — starts, and essentially ends, with color. Most people love color, but they are often overwhelmed by all the possibilities, and thus choose to do nothing. And then they are forever unhappy with their white walls. Let’s get out of that rut and add some color to your home with these simple tips.
What colors are you attracted to? What items in your home are you drawn to? Sometimes I ask clients to show me their closet, as we often wear colors we’re attracted to. I also ask to see their dishes as they can be another indicator of preferred colors.
Check out houzz.com for inspiration. When doing an interior design project I request that clients make us a file of their favorite inspiration images on this website, and you certainly could do the same for color as well.
White paint costs the same as colored paint!
Take a chance on a color, you might like it! If not, it’s only paint. And remember: colored paint costs the same as white paint.
Go bold in the bathroom.
Unsure about going with a darker color? I encourage clients to go with a bold color in the powder room. It’s usually a small room, but it can have great impact. Do the ceiling in the same, saturated color for a dramatic effect. Starting with this small room is a great indicator to see how well you like a deep, saturated, or bold color.
A house needs to have a variety of values — not all light colors, not all dark colors. One way to achieve this contrast is to paint an accent wall that is different in color and value from the other walls. The accent wall in a room needs to be a focal point wall where your eye is naturally drawn, whether it is an architectural or environmental feature.
In every home in which I do full color consults, I always use a neutral. Neutrals are a must in some areas of the home. I recommend a neutral in hallways and stairwells. I always caution against doing a bold color in those areas, as our eye needs to rest, and often those areas call for neutrality to allow in some light.
A crisp white ceiling is my preference on most ceilings. It helps to define the wall color, and down the road if the wall color is changed, the ceiling does not have to be repainted. However, sometimes in bedrooms, bathrooms, or dining rooms, I do play up the ceiling with color.
Choose a good quality paint.
Use the best quality paint you can. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t mean it has to be the most expensive paint. A designer, painter, or paint store can help lead you to good quality paints.
Two coats of paint are best, and I always recommend two coats on my projects. Generally, the first coat goes on a little thicker, and the second coat is a lighter overcoat.
Designers and paint stores are great sources to ask for detail-oriented painters. It’s important for a painter to take care and time to be respectful of your home and furniture, and to do a fabulous job, one that will last for many years!

Lake District, Cumbria, England. Guide and Virtual Tour of the Lakes including Windermere, Bowness and beyond.
Lake District, Cumbria, England. Guide and Virtual Tour.
Bowness, Windermere "It is ideally suited for those visitors who want a range of places to sleep, eat, drink and shop in the midst of beautiful scenery: but be warned. Quiet it is not..."
Windermere from Fell Foot Park "a hugely popular spot for picnics, boating and generally lazing by the lake with children and friends. There are tea rooms and large car parks. You can hire rowing boats from here, paddle, or swim..."
Kirkstone Pass "The road from Ambleside over to Ullswater takes you over Kirkstone Pass, between the mountain of Red Screes to the west and Caudale Moor to the east..."
View of Ashness Bridge "There are fantastic views of Derwentwater from here, but unfortunately, every photographer in the Lake District knows it. Getting the place to yourself for more than a couple of seconds is an art form in itself..."
Yew Tree Tarn, Lakeside "You could easily miss this pretty little tarn on your way to Coniston from Ambleside. It nestles beside the road, to the west and is invariable quiet and still..."
Brockhole Lake District Visitors Centre "It is a great place to find out more about the Lake District, in beautiful surroundings, As well as a tea room and a gift shop, there a many well marked paths in the grounds along the lake, beautiful gardens, treasure hunts..."
For those of us who know and love it, The Lake District is undisputedly the most beautiful part of England. Its craggy, majestic mountains, sparkling lakes and tarns, and windswept fells tug at the heart and the spirit. Once this place has crept into your bones, beware: you may well have begun a deep and lasting love-affair.
These days, more of us are considering a UK holiday or short break.
And where better than our beautiful English Lake District? If you're considering a trip to Cumbria, and need to know where to go, what to see and where to stay, then this Virtual Reality Lake District tour should help you to make up your mind, before you hit the M6.
Our tour takes you to many of the more well-known parts of Cumbria’s Lake District: from the bottom of Windermere at Fell Foot Park, up the east side of the lake to Gummers How (which Wainwright described as “a mountain in miniature”), and onwards along the shores of Windermere to one of the most well-known tourist destinations: Bowness. This is where many visitors know best they stay here, visit here for day trips, eat out here or take a boat trip. We travelled back here at the end of our tour, on the ferry from Far Sawrey.
From here we continue towards Ambleside at the north of the lake (another popular honey-pot for visitors), stopping off at the excellent visitor’s centre at Brockhole, which is highly recommended for new visitors to the area.
Continuing towards Grasmere (Wordsworth country) we pass White Moss and look across to Loughrigg Terrace and the twin lakes of Rydal and Grasmere. Loughrigg is popular walker’s country, being easily accessible, not too high and providing a link between Ambleside and Grasmere.
Ashness Bridge is close by one of the most photographed views in the Lake District.
From here, we head to the less visited western Lake District over Honister Pass to the twin lakes of Buttermere and Crummock Water.
Ullswater, on the north east of the Lake District, is a popular , but not too developed spot as well as being loved by sailors and walkers, it provides great access to High Street and the Helvellyn Range from the eastern flanks.

When you or someone you love has been injured in an accident, everything changes. Your normal life vanishes and is replaced with pain, stress, and uncertainty. During such a difficult time, you need to be represented by a law firm who will handle your case as if it were their own.

We can help you recover the life you had before your injury. We will be by your side through every step of the legal process, from the moment you trust us with your story, to settlement, judgment and beyond.
As one of Arizona’s top personal injury law firms, Lazzara Law Firm has had the opportunity to successfully deal with a wide variety of accident and personal injury situations. Here are just some of the areas of practice that we specialize in.
Car accidents in Arizona are a significant cause of injury and death. In 2015, there were over 116,000 vehicle accidents statewide. These accidents resulted in 895 fatalities, over 53,000 injuries and resulted in nearly 4 billion dollars in damage. In Yavapai County alone, there were over 3,300 car accidents in 2015. These accidents caused nearly 50 fatalities, injured almost 1500 people and resulted in close to 150 million dollars in damages. If you’ve been injured in car accident in Prescott or Yavapai County, you need you need to contact the Lazzara Law Firm law firm. The lawyers at Lazzara Law Firm are car accident experts. They can help you to get the recovery for your injuries that you deserve so that you can get on with your life.
A lawsuit involving a motorcycle needs to be treated differently than a lawsuit involving other types of motor vehicles. Statistics show that a motorcycle rider who is involved in a vehicle accident is three times more likely to be injured and fourteen times more likely to be killed than the driver of the car who struck them. Despite this, some people persist in stereotyping motorcycle riders, calling them reckless and careless. At Lazzara Law Firm, we are aware of this bias. We work diligently in every motorcycle case that we handle to fight the perception that somehow motorcycle operators are at fault for the accidents that cause their injuries. We have the experience needed in handling the unique issues that surround a motorcycle accident that will get you a successful result in your motorcycle accident case.
Because of their size and weight, when commercial vehicles or pickup trucks get involved in an accident, there is a greater chance of catastrophic injury. The nature of these injuries usually means that they are life changing and require long-term care. At Lazzara Law Firm, we understand that many truck accidents are caused by driver fatigue, driver inattention, and improper maintenance. We use our knowledge and experience in truck accident litigation to aggressively pursue the evidence that establishes driver and company fault. This results in a settlement or judgment that adequately compensates you for the injuries that you’ve suffered.
It is difficult to lose a loved one. It is even more difficult if that loss was caused by someone else’s negligence. Nothing can replace the person you have lost. However, Arizona’s wrongful death law can provide you with some measure of financial security and the hope for a more stable future. At Lazzara Law Firm, we understand how to use wrongful death law so that you receive compensation for the loss of the decedent’s income, both now and in the future, as well as for the loss of their care, support, assistance, and protection. You can also be compensated for any medical bills that were incurred in the treatment of the decedent’s injuries. Finally, if circumstances warrant, you may be able to obtain compensation for the pain and suffering the decedent endured prior to death.
Lazzara Law Firm is a Prescott law firm that focuses on personal injury law. Our experienced trial attorneys have earned a national reputation for handling tough cases and getting the positive results that our clients deserve.
At Lazzara Law Firm, we understand that people who have suffered an injury through no fault of their own have a critical need for a committed and experienced advocate to represent them. Without this key element, they are very often unable to restore the balance to their lives that was taken from them by the accident. The lawyers at Lazzara Law Firm have dedicated themselves to helping their clients defeat the physical and financial burdens imposed upon them as a result of an accident.
Lead trial attorney Lawrence Lazzara is a member of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice. He uses his extensive legal and trial experience to protect the citizens of Prescott and Yavapai County, holding insurance companies and big corporations responsible for their actions. Lawrence believes that the act of providing effective and efficient legal representation makes our communities stronger, safer and, above all, better places for all of us to live.

This page was created to focus on bullying issues that affect boys, as well as a few that everyone is subject to. In a perfect world, this website (along with countless others) would not need to be created, but unfortunately, that is not the case, so I will run over some important points and FAQs to help you understand why bullying happens, and what you can do to help yourself (and maybe others).
What does this have to do with being a boy?
Boys have one specific trait that bullies tend to dwell on. Strength. They like to validate that they are stronger than someone weaker than them. The problem is, you are actually stronger than them. Sure, they claim they can bench twice as much as you, but mentally, you have the upper hand. At some point in a victims life, there will be a breaking point, and a bully is trying to reach it. If it takes to long to find, they will move to another victim. In order to show that they will never reach your breaking point, take everything they throw at you as a joke. Not like a HAHAHA joke, but shrug it off and maybe give a little chuckle. Give them a look that says they are being stupid. This often will infuriate them, so keep doing it. If you show any bit of resistance, they will use that as a foothold and keep going. Keep at it with the "Dude, I gotta get to my next class".

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 directed the Commission to adopt rules requiring each company, other than a registered investment company, to include in its annual report filed with the Commission a statement of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, as well as an assessment of the effectiveness of those controls. Section 404 also directed that the independent accounting firm that audits the company’s financial statements report on management’s assessment and the effectiveness of the company’s controls, in accordance with standards to be established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).
On June 5, 2003, the Commission adopted rules implementing Section 404 with regard to management’s obligations to report on internal control over financial reporting. On June 17, 2004, the Commission issued an order approving the PCAOB’s Auditing Standard No. 2, An Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting Performed in Conjunction with an Audit of the Financial Statements (AS No. 2), which established the requirements that apply when an independent auditor is engaged to audit and report on management’s assessment of and the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Companies have been required to maintain a system of internal accounting controls since the enactment of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in 1977. However, the requirements arising out of Section 404 have caused companies and their auditors to focus additional attention on the effectiveness of companies’ internal controls and, in most cases, report publicly on those controls for the first time.
Originally the new internal control reports of management and the company’s external auditor that are required by the Commission’s rules and AS No. 2 were due for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004, for accelerated filers,1 and after April 15, 2005, for smaller companies and foreign private issuers. Recognizing the importance of these provisions and the time necessary to implement them properly, the Commission later extended these deadlines to November 15, 2004, and July 15, 2006, respectively. In addition, the Commission issued an exemptive order to grant accelerated filers with a public equity float of less than $700 million an additional 45 days to include in the current year’s annual report management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the related auditor’s report. The Commission also extended for one more year the complete phase-in of the new accelerated filer reporting deadlines, in part because of the need for companies to focus on implementing the Section 404 rules.
Given the November 15, 2004, fiscal year compliance date for accelerated filers, the first of management’s assessments and the accompanying audit reports were due in February. Now that a significant group of companies has completed the first Section 404 process, the Commission is seeking input to assess the impact of the Commission’s rules and AS No. 2 on companies and on their internal controls and financial reporting. The Commission is also seeking input on the impact of implementation of the internal control assessment, reporting and auditing requirements.
What has been the overall impact of assessing, reporting and auditing internal control over financial reporting?
What implementation and/or ongoing issues have arisen in the first year of assessing, reporting and auditing internal control over financial reporting?
What benefits have companies experienced in the first year from the assessment, reporting and auditing process?
Are there preliminary thoughts about how much of the efforts and costs incurred this year are first-year versus ongoing?
Have the implementation efforts been impacted by issues regarding the availability of quality resources at companies and/or audit firms? If so, are these expected to recur in subsequent years?
A statement that the company’s auditor issued a report on management’s evaluation of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Commission determined not to provide more specific management reporting requirements, or a template format for management’s report, to discourage management from using boilerplate language in the reports.
The auditor’s opinion on whether the company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of the specified date, based on the control criteria.
AS No. 2 provides example reports for the auditor to consider when issuing its report. As a result, the majority of auditors’ reports to date closely followed the example reports issued by the PCAOB.
The Commission is seeking input on whether management’s and the auditor’s reports have generally been useful to the various users of a company’s financial statements. The Commission is also seeking input regarding what improvements in reporting or disclosure could be made in this area.
Has the information reported by management been useful? Are there any suggestions for improving the usefulness of the disclosures?
Has the information reported by outside auditors been useful? Are there any suggestions for improving the usefulness of the disclosures?
Do the internal control reports give users a better understanding about the financial reporting strengths and weaknesses of companies?
Were disclosures about material weaknesses in internal control generally sufficient?
Is the marketplace reacting differently to different types of material weaknesses, in the context of other factors relating to a company that reports a material weakness?
The Commission is seeking input on the process of planning and design to determine the scope of companies’ controls as well as the scope of the review of those controls, including the extent to which registrants and auditors have used professional judgment in designing the scope of internal control and the review required under the Commission’s rules and AS No. 2.
What roles have various parties played in determining the scope of internal control over financial reporting (e.g. management, internal audit, external auditor, audit committee) and the scope of review of internal control? How, if at all, should those roles be modified or changed?
Have management, auditors and audit committees allowed for a sufficient level of professional judgment in designing the audits of internal control over financial reporting?
Have the Commission rules and AS No. 2 adequately assisted companies and their auditors in determining the appropriate scope of internal control over financial reporting and the scope of review of internal control? What, if any, additional guidance is necessary?
How are decisions being made regarding using the work of others? To what degree is the work of others being used?
How are companies with de-centralized operations and multiple locations making decisions about the scope of internal control and its review?
Has there been agreement between management, auditors and audit committees in identifying the scope of internal control over financial reporting? The scope of the reviews of the internal controls? If not, what are the major disagreements/differences?
Once a company and its auditor determine what is included within the assessment of internal control over financial reporting, they must determine, among other things, the extent of documentation and testing required to complete an adequate assessment. The Commission’s rules require that management base its evaluation of the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting on a recognized control framework, but do not identify a required level of documentation and testing of those controls. Nor do the Commission’s rules specify the methods or procedures to be performed in completing an evaluation, other than indicating that the assessment must be based on procedures sufficient both to evaluate its design and to test its operating effectiveness within the overall controls standard of reasonable assurance.
Additionally, while the Commission’s release adopting its rules indicates certain types of controls that should be considered for testing by management in making this assessment, it acknowledges that the nature of the actual testing activities will depend largely on the circumstances of the company and the significance of the control, though inquiry alone generally will not be considered sufficient.
Further guidance regarding the level of documentation and testing required by the outside auditor is provided in AS No. 2. This standard includes detailed guidance regarding both the auditor’s evaluation of management’s assessment process (including whether management’s documentation provides reasonable support for its assessment), as well as documentation and testing required relating to the auditor’s own assessment of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Audit documentation requirements are also addressed in the PCAOB’s Auditing Standard No. 3, Audit Documentation.
The Commission is seeking input about the level of documentation and testing that was performed by management and the outside auditor in completing their respective assessments of internal control over financial reporting.
What were some of the most significant documentation and testing challenges for companies faced in the first year? For auditors? How were they resolved?
To what extent did the efforts and costs of documentation and testing drive the overall level of management’s and the auditor’s efforts and costs of implementation of the reporting requirements?
What was the dynamic that drove the determination of levels of documentation and testing by companies and auditors? Will there be a different level of effort to complete the documentation and testing in subsequent years?
What recommendations do you have for improving the documentation and testing process?
What, if any, additional guidance or other action from the Commission and/or the PCAOB may be useful to clarify documentation and testing requirements?
Various aspects of the Commission’s rules and AS No. 2 require both management and the auditor to use professional judgment regarding the nature and extent of testing and in reaching conclusions regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Some areas impacted by professional judgment have already been discussed, such as the planning and design of the assessment of internal control over financial reporting, as well as the documentation and testing of the applicable processes. There are other areas, however, where the use of professional judgment by management and the auditor is an important part of assessing and auditing internal control over financial reporting.
One such area is the interaction between the auditor, management and audit committee and judgments made with respect to the implications of such interactions on the identification of control deficiencies. Historically, the external auditor has been available to provide management with certain accounting and reporting guidance, based on the auditor’s expertise in these matters. This advice has always, however, been subject to limitations imposed by the independence requirements with which auditors must comply. Recently, some have raised issues about the ability of the auditor to provide this type of advice without the auditor becoming, in essence, a part of management’s internal control over financial reporting, in addition to presenting the potential for impairing the auditor’s independence.
Another such area is the evaluation of any control deficiencies noted during the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Commission’s rules and AS No. 2 require management and the external auditor to arrive at an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. In completing the assessment, management and the auditor may each identify control deficiencies, and they must evaluate and assess whether those deficiencies are significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. These two categories differ in the likelihood of misstatement and the materiality of the likely misstatement due to the identified deficiency. Ideally, both management and the auditor would arrive at the same conclusion regarding control deficiencies and the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. However, the evaluation of control deficiencies requires professional judgment, which incorporates both quantitative and qualitative factors.
An additional area that requires the use of judgment is communication regarding control deficiencies. AS No. 2 requires that the auditor communicate to management and the audit committee all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified during the audit. AS No. 2 further requires that the auditor communicate to management all deficiencies (that is, those deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that are of a lesser magnitude than significant deficiencies) identified during its review. The auditor must also obtain a representation from management stating that it has disclosed to the auditor all deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting identified as part of management’s assessment, including separately disclosing those that are significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
The Commission is seeking input about the level of professional judgment used in these areas by management, the audit committee and the auditor in their communications as well as in reaching conclusions about internal control over financial reporting.
Does management believe that it has the ability to seek input from the company’s auditor on internal control, accounting or reporting issues? To what extent? How has this ability evolved in the first year of internal control assessment and auditing?
Has there been any change in the level of communication between management and auditors on accounting issues? If so, to what extent and why, and what have been the implications of such changes?
What were the most significant challenges management and auditors faced in assessing and concluding on the significance of the control deficiencies identified?
What, if any, additional guidance or other action from the Commission or the PCAOB would be most helpful in assisting management and auditors in reaching appropriate conclusions?
Is the right level of communication about internal control deficiencies taking place between the auditors, management, and the audit committee? If not, what aspects could be improved and how?
In Panels 1 through 5, the Commission is seeking input on specific experiences in the first year of implementation of the Commission’s rules and AS No. 2. As the Commission noted when adopting the internal control reporting rules, it has long been the Commission’s intention to learn from the experience of the first year of implementation, and ask how the process might be improved without compromising its benefits. In this panel, the Commission is seeking input about future application and implementation of the rules and practices thereunder.
What lessons have been learned in the first year that can be used to improve future internal control assessments and audits over financial reporting and to gain more value from the process?
Will subsequent years require a different level of effort by management and/or the auditor than the first year?
What are the steps that the Commission and/or the PCAOB can take to improve the process?
What advice would you give the smaller companies and foreign private issuers as they plan for their first year of implementation?
1 Generally, “accelerated filers” are U.S. companies that have equity market capitalization over $75 million and previously have filed an annual report with the Commission.
2 At the request of Commission staff, a task force of COSO has been established and anticipates publishing this Summer additional guidance in applying COSO’s framework to smaller companies. In addition, the Commission noted in its release adopting its rules that foreign issuers can look to widely accepted internal control frameworks outside the U.S., such as Guidance on Assessing Control published by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants and The Turnbull Report published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

The writer, Robert Greene, often uses the phrase “As in war, so in life”. It’s worth keeping those words close because our life is a battle both literally and figuratively. We fight to survive on a planet indifferent to our survival. We fight as individuals to survive among a species whose population numbers in the billions.
Today, you’ll be fighting for your goal, fighting against impulses, fighting to be the person you want to become. So what tools do you use in your fight for life?
Tools? You mean pitchforks, shovels, baseball bats? Are we back in the Neanderthal period, where every day was a fight for survival?
No, I’m really referring to is the mindset you develop to fight for the person you want to become. And yes, it is a fight – with ourselves!!
There are so many impulses today that will try to lure you away from your goal. Things like social media platforms, disorganization, overconfidence, too much on the plate at one time…the list goes on and it’s SO EASY to get sucked into the pit of eventual destruction.
Let’s focus today, on what we can control, what we can do to move the needle in the direction you want it to go in.
Courage – to step out of your comfort zone at least once a day. How about calling one person on your chicken list this week.
The is goes on and takes more time than I have here but I’m happy to share more examples with you – just reach out.
If you’re open to learning the essentials to creating the lifestyle you want, email me at smoore71@att.net.

This time last year, we wrote “it was all going so well”. Following the result of this year’s general election there was a sense of déjà vu! Despite the uncertain political environment, the continuing Brexit negotiations and a weak currency, interest rates remain at historically low levels. Whilst we await the first increase since July 2007, interest rates are still one of the main drivers of the secondary property market. Investors continue to search for yield. Real estate continues to offer higher returns than elsewhere. A tight supply of suitable properties to invest in keeps a downward pressure on yields for the best lots.
Auction sales in the commercial sector have been buoyant in the first half of the year with many investors having previously purchased now buying again. In fact 86% of all buyers state they have bought at auction before. As a result, many buyers are becoming more adventurous in purchasing away from their ‘home region’. Lack of suitable stock available in their region may be influencing their decision.
Cash is still king, with 80% of all our buyers purchasing without debt. There seems to be no limit to the amount to be invested; we ask ourselves whether the money flowing into the market would historically have gone into the equity or bond markets. Alternatively, investors may be switching from the residential market as regulations and costs tighten in that sector. Only time will tell if this pool of cash continues to be available for investment in commercial real estate.
Comfortingly for us and the market, 80% of all buyers are looking to purchase again within the next 12 months, giving us further reason to believe that the current buoyant market will continue.
The wider economy may start to have an impact on some property prices. There is increasing evidence that growth in the economy is slowing, however to put this into perspective, the annualised growth is just below that of the growth in GDP in the third quarter of 2015, which proved to be a temporary ‘blip’. A slowing economy might have some impact on tenant demand which may, in certain weaker locations, feed through to lower rental levels being achieved or longer void periods for vacant properties. Nevertheless, whilst demand from investors remains strong, it is likely that any downside economic factors will be taken in their stride and will simply be a matter of pricing rather than a withdrawal from the market. As always, the tertiary properties are likely to be more adversely affected by a slowing economy. For this reason we feel the yield gap between the best quality lots and the tertiary/secondary lots is likely to increase slightly during the latter half of this year. Indeed, we may have already have witnessed that shift in the July sale. For confirmation though, we will need to look carefully at the last two sales of the year.
In summary, we feel that demand will continue and prices will remain at current levels for the best quality lots, whilst there is a chance that yields may move out slightly for the more tertiary lots.
