“Only boring people get bored.” I’m sure you’ve heard that old chestnut before. I’ve repeated it myself, many times. But in the era of the smart phone and social media, we need to rethink and refine our relationship to boredom.
I started thinking about boredom and creativity when somebody posted a video of a TED talk by Manoush Zamorodi, a podcast host and author of the book, Bored and Brilliant (see below). Boredom is good, she argues, because it ignites a network in our brains called the “default mode network.” In short, when we daydream, when we stare blankly out the window, when we perform mindless tasks in which our bodies operate on auto-pilot, our minds start making unexpected connections and solving problems. Some of this kind of sub-conscious or semi-conscious thought happens in our sleep (yet another reason to get plenty of rest), but the default mode network operates during our waking hours, and it doesn’t kick in if our brains are being constantly bombarded by external stimuli. In that un-stimulated, un-entertained state that we commonly call boredom, our minds do some of their best work. Smartphones and the Internet keep us from having to endure the discomfort of "boredom," but in so doing, they cut us off from some of the richest veins of creativity.
The mind, it turns out, won’t stay un-stimulated for long. In the absence of external stimulation, it will create its own. This is the principle behind an exercise you may remember from an earlier issue of The Habit: on days when I find it impossible to write, when no amount of self-cajoling seems to help, I turn off the Internet, turn off my phone, sit at my desk, and say to myself, “Write or don’t write. It doesn’t matter to me. But for the next hour you can’t do anything else.” If I stick to that and do nothing else, usually by the end of the hour I’ve written something. And by then, I’m usually ready to keep writing.
That kind of cultivated “boredom,” unrelieved by electronic stimulation, can be very productive. I put the word boredom in quotation marks because I am using it in the colloquial sense of a lack of stimulation the we find unpleasant. And as long as that’s the definition we’re using, I entirely agree with Manoush Zomorodi: boredom is indeed the path to brilliance. If you look to a screen for relief at the first arrival of that kind of boredom, you can experts your creative output to dwindle accordingly.
[This world] is a gorgeous old place, full of clownish graces and beautiful drolleries, and it has enough textures, tastes, and smells to keep us intrigued for more time than we have. Unfortunately, however, our response to its loveliness is not always delight: It is, far more often than it should be, boredom. And that is not only odd, it is tragic; for boredom is not neutral – it is the fertilizing principle of unloveliness.
Here's a shortened (under three-minute) version of Manoush Zomorodi's excellent TED talk. If you want to see the full sixteen-minute version, you can see it here. | 2019-04-19T03:20:09 | https://www.jonathan-rogers.com/blog/7d2387msc7y7hdmk6mdackbryjps5e |
At Laurisha Jewellery, we pride ourselves on both our expertise and our incredible range of fine jewellery and gemstones. Featuring a wide array of colours, clarities, and cuts, all of our gemstones can be made into bespoke jewellery pieces to bring you a lifetime of shine and glamour.
From the intense reds of garnets to the luxurious purples of amethysts, our collection features nearly every colour and hue one can imagine. Fascinating in rings and captivating in pendants, our gemstones often take centre-stage due to the magnificent depth and richness of their colours.
When choosing a loose gem to be made into your very own bespoke piece, several things must be considered. Firstly, the correlation between the hue of your chosen gemstone and the type of metal setting you wish to use in your piece should be complimentary. Within a gemstone type, such as sapphire, there are many different hues to choose from; while many can range between the violet-blue velvets, sapphires can also come in pinks, greens and yellows!
Secondly, the next factor that should be considered when choosing a gem is the gems durability. For example, diamonds are a 10 on the Moh’s Scale of Hardness, making them an excellent, classical choice for rings.
Lastly, the cut of your gemstone is most often a factor of subjective choice, as all of our gemstones are cut with experience and expertise. For a gemstone to reveal its true colour in a bespoke jewellery piece, the cut must attain the perfect level of depth; for if a gem is cut too low or too high, the colour will fade or become too dark to let in natural light. For our gemstones, all have been cut to show the best achievable saturation.
a Jewellery workshop is sure to have a piece to suit you. To see more of our collection, we invite you to visit us in-store in Montville, behind the Waterwheel! | 2019-04-18T12:16:09 | https://www.laurishajewellery.com.au/our-gemstones/ |
91% nursing graduates of Baguio Universities petitioned the Professional Regulatory Commision (PRC) to put members of the Board of Nursing under preventive suspension for test leaks that were allegedly distributed during the June 11 and 12 nursing board examinations.
They also asked the PRC to stop the release of the test results until the test were leaked to some examinees identified with the R.A Gapuz nursing review center. They also wanted that the PRC to "blacklist" RA Gapuz Review Center.
The alleged test leaks were said to have been photocopied and distributed to applicants wearing uniform jackets that bore the RA Gapuz logo, which was why the center had been included in the complaint, lawyer Yangot explained. | 2019-04-19T00:49:26 | https://www.nursereview.org/2007/06/prc-asked-to-freeze-release-of-2006.html |
Matt Damon says the pressure he feels for people to like his movies makes him act weirdly when he’s promoting his films.
Matt Damon feels under pressure to make good movies.
The 42-year-old actor wants people to enjoy his films and he admits the pressure makes him act weirdly when he's promoting his projects.
During an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, he said, "I just feel pressured to try to make good movies. For me, a weird thing happens where I get this kind of weird, almost Tourette's, thing where I just immediately think of the exact wrong thing to say to try get people to see the movie."
To give an example, David asked him what his new science-fiction movie, Elysium, is about.
To which Matt jokingly responded, "Well, how much do you know about fracking . . .? It's a science-fiction fracking movie."
Matt's next project is The Monuments Men, a World War II movie directed by his friend George Clooney which also stars Bill Murray.
He said, "[Bill] and George became friends about five or six years ago and George really just put this whole group together. Bill's awesome in the movie; he's really great.
Matt said George (52) is so talented it's not fair to his peers, adding, "It's so frustrating. Honest to God, it's like God said, maybe this once I'm just gonna keep going and give him more. Sure he's an actor, a writer and a producer, he's a director ? yeah why not? It's obscene." | 2019-04-21T02:42:48 | https://www.news24.com/You/Archive/matt-damon-feels-pressure-to-make-good-movies-20170728 |
A recently announced legislative task force will spend 2018 studying Wisconsin’s school funding formula, which has not undergone major change for about 25 years. The committee will explore issues of both equity and adequacy, areas where Wisconsin typically outperforms other states. However, that has come at a price of increased complexity. Is there a way to simplify?
In early December, Wisconsin legislative leaders announced creation of a Blue Ribbon Commission on School Funding. The bipartisan group will be led by Senator Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) and Representative Joel Kitchens (R-Sturgeon Bay). Other members include four Republican and three Democratic legislators, and five representatives from public and private schools, school advocacy groups, and UW-Madison.
The group will face a variety of questions. Do state-mandated revenue limits allow historically low-spending districts to generate sufficient financial resources? In its current form, does the state aid formula distribute resources “fairly?” And, what is the impact of shifting school aid from equalization aid, which provides more state dollars to poorer districts than richer ones, to a uniform per pupil allocation?
These are just a few of the difficult issues the committee faces, and answers will not be easy. A look at school finance here versus other states provides perspective.
School finance systems are typically compared in two broad areas: adequacy and equity. In other words, are we providing sufficient resources to educate students, and are those resources distributed equitably?
Wisconsin’s system links the two. School revenue limits cap the amount districts can spend via property taxes and state equalization aid. While revenue limits are about adequacy, the equalization aid formula is the primary tool to ensure equitable distribution of resources.
Annual figures from Education Week (EW) shed light on how Wisconsin’s system stacks up with those in other states.
Adequate resources? Whether schools are spending enough is a somewhat subjective question. To address the subject, EW researchers calculate four adequacy measures: statewide per student spending; the share of taxable resources devoted to K-12 education; and two measures related to district spending.
In its 2017 report (2014 spending), Wisconsin’s ranks on these measures ranged from 15th to 24th. To simplify the analysis, we statistically combined the four measures, creating a single figure to compare states. On that combined measure, the Badger State ranked 16th.
Among neighboring states, only Illinois (13th) ranked higher. Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota were in the top half.
Wisconsin’s adequacy rank has dropped slightly of late. In the 2012 report (2009 data), the state ranked 12th on the combined adequacy measure.
Equitable distribution? EW researchers also examine four measures of equity, each focusing on a different aspect of resource distribution. The Badger State rates high on all four, ranking between 5th and 18th. When the measures are combined, only eight states rank higher on equity, including neighboring Iowa.
As with adequacy, Wisconsin’s equity rank has dropped slightly over the years. In the 2012 report, the state’s overall equity ranking was 5th.
A tradeoff? Illinois ranks 46th in equity and highlights a common tradeoff between adequacy and equity (it ranked 13th on adequacy). States that rank relatively high on adequacy typically rank low on equity (bottom right square in chart), and vice-versa (top left square).
Wisconsin is one of only nine states that rank in the top half on both measures, and one of only five ranking in the top 16 on both. The others were Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Wyoming. In other words, while Wisconsin has its school finance challenges, its system compares favorably to those in nearly all other states.
However, where Wisconsin may lag is in school finance transparency. After years of layering new programs and funding methods on top of one another, Wisconsin’s school finance system has become a challenge to understand, even for school officials and board members who deal with it daily.
In an indication, perhaps, that some lawmakers have become frustrated with the complexity of the equalization aid formula, both the Governor and Legislature have, in the last four budgets, turned to a simple per pupil allocation to distribute additional school aids. While the approach is far simpler, it is not clear that the approach is the most equitable way to fund schools.
For the average citizen, school finance has become a labyrinth. And yet, these same taxpayers are asked to vote on referenda asking for additional school spending. Over the past five years, citizens in 271 districts voted on 513 referenda to increase local school spending. This spring, voters in another 27 districts will tackle 35 referenda.
Task force members will have a lot on their plate. But, while addressing issues of adequacy and equity, they also might weigh the merits of simplifying the system, thus helping to create a better-informed citizenry.
Some questions task force members might ask themselves include: Can I adequately explain Wisconsin school finance to the average citizen in a few paragraphs or PowerPoint slides? If not, are there changes that will make that possible while still maintaining the many positive attributes in our system? | 2019-04-21T02:07:52 | https://wispolicyforum.org/focus/school-finance-here-vs-elsewhere/ |

I guess I’ll wait for black friday…here’s hoping for a better discount then!!
Did you buy anything? are you going to?
I was also disappointed with the meager discount; even Saks offered 25%! I don’t plan on using the code in protest.
Nah, I figure I’ll wait till Black Friday or until stuff I like goes on sale. 15% off is nothing compared to what other sites offer!
I bought the Elizabeth and James Hudson trousers. They were just what I was looking for and in my size. I’m learning that waiting means my size will be gone, so I was ready to jump!
I was ticked that it was only 15%–That’s nothing in a competitive market. I shopped some other great sites (stylefly.ca & others that I can’t remember right now…) and got great discounts (i.e. free shipping, 30% off…).

Selly Manor is a beautiful timber framed historic house in the heart of the famous Bournville village.
Most people only think of chocolate when ‘Bournville’ is mentioned, but what many people don’t know is that Bournville has one of the oldest buildings in Birmingham.
In the heart of George Cadbury’s garden village, right next to the village green is Selly Manor. Incredibly, the building came from a site about a mile away, but was bought by George Cadbury and moved into the village in the early 1900’s. There are games to play, armour to try on and dressing up for both children and adults.
Selly Manor is surrounded by its own Tudor style garden and has an impressive collection of furniture and objects.
Next door to Selly Manor is the medieval hall of Minworth Greaves, which was also moved into Bournville from its original site. Minworth Greaves can be hired for small wedding ceremonies.

U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart announced Thursday a takedown of drug traffickers in Parkersburg that resulted in the seizure of more than 150 pounds of methamphetamine and 4 pounds of heroin. Officials say this is the largest seizure of methamphetamine in West Virginia’s history.
Stuart said the takedown resulted in the dismantling of a multi-state drug trafficking organization that was distributing meth and heroin in Parkersburg.
The taskforce involved in the arrests included FBI field offices from five states, state police and representatives from the Parkersburg Narcotics and Violent Crimes Task Force.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said most of the drugs were sourced from Mexico and were being sent to small towns in Appalachia.
The collaboration between law enforcement in Arizona, Florida, Ohio and West Virginia resulted in about 30 arrests. The takedown was part of a long-term investigation by the FBI and local authorities.
Officials believe these arrests include the primary distributors of meth to Wood County and will significantly curtail the amount of the drug available for distribution.
More than 40 people were arrested in Huntington this week on drug and gun charges in a sweeping joint investigation targeting accused interstate drug traffickers in what officials called a "turning point" for the city -- and "in the war against the opiate nightmare." | 2019-04-24T08:44:32 | https://www.wvpublic.org/post/parkersburg-drug-takedown-results-seizure-150-pounds-methamphetamine |

Destiny 2 Hack Download is a reboot of the game to attract new players and at the same time. An experimental evolution of the production that has been developing for three years. At the moment, the emphasis was on the first. Special to your needs, we have created a Multihack program that will greatly facilitate your game.
No matter how much of a mechanic hails from MMO games, the showcase of high-budget shooters is a role-playing campaign. And it was this element that had to be heavily polished in Destiny 2, after a disappointing mass from the unit. The new story does seem easier to track and more accessible in perception. But I think mainly due to what is based on the scheme known from Star wars. Instead of abstraction in the style of, this time the evil Dart… Gaul, the leader of the red Legion of the space race cabal, arrives with his” death star ” to capture the bright side of the force that gives us – the parties-special abilities, and most importantly-immortality.
Our new Marina on the farm resembles a Resistance base from the seventh episode of the star Saga, and Gaul’s conversations with his General is Vader’s conversation with the Emperor. Everything is of course pretty well adapted to the Destiny universe and there are even a couple of moments playing on emotions. However that doesn’t change the fact that the campaign role-playing game is still one of the weak elements of the game.
The untapped potential of the campaign can be seen at least in the rather superficial treatment of several heroes and especially our antagonist. Which manifests itself as a full-fledged character, not being able to exist in this story. However, the biggest flaws come out in the structure of story missions. The first moments of the battle they bomb everything that is good and new-scripts like in Call of Duty. Action heroes independent, civilian motor or moments without a fight. Unfortunately, everything quickly returns scheme, and the clips show the same thing as in the first part, i.e. boat cruises and conversations full of phrases. Instead of fighting the heroes of the story shoulder to shoulder, we’re basically the tragedian of our companion, a spirit who, in addition to analyzing the subjects, has fully taken over the ability to speak.
For you, the team Gamer Hack has released a program that will greatly facilitate your gameplay in the game Destiny 2. Destiny 2 Hack free Download is very easy to use and does not require any complicated installation to work. The only thing we need to do is unzip our program on the desktop and run it. The automatic validity check function guarantees us that we will always use the latest version of the running program. Security is guaranteed by the built-in proxy list. Thanks to which we will become 100% secure and avoid blocking servers on our private IP.
The main features that the program offers Destiny 2 Hack Download is: 2D / 3D Radar, Aimbot, Wallhack, Speedhack. ArmorHack, GoodMode, One Shot / One Kill and BEAST CHEATS. During the game we can activate the Haste menu with the F10 key. We will adjust all settings such as speed, and hack time.

The New York police officer who was caught on camera punching a Black teenager who was already in police custody has been suspended while the New York Police Department Internal Affairs Bureau investigates the arrest.
The NYPD announced the suspension on Friday, but they didn’t reveal the name of the officer.
In New York City and around the country, people have been protesting for months against police brutality and racial profiling. The lack of trust between police and the communities they are supposed to protect has encouraged bystanders to gather their own proof and use video to attempt to hold police accountable. A police brutality witness in Staten Island used his cellphone to record NYPD officer, Daniel Pantaleo, putting Eric Garner, an unarmed Black man, in the chokehold that ultimately killed him. Despite the video evidence, Pantaleo wasn’t indicted by the grand jury.
The Black teenager who was assaulted by the officer was 16-year-old Denzel Funderburk, according to a CBS New York. He and two other teenagers, 16 and 17, were arrested on Dec. 15 because they were suspected of assaulting someone with a cane. The three teenagers were charged with gang assault. Funderburk was also charged with assault, obstruction, criminal possession of a weapon and other charges, according to CBS New York.
The charges were dropped before the video was released on the Wednesday following the arrest, New York Daily News reported.
The video of the arrest, which was posted on Dec. 17, showed the Black teenager pinned against the hood of a car by three officers as the plainclothes cop rushes in to deliver at least two body punches.
Police procedure expert and professor at John Jay College, Robert McRie, said that police officers who attack suspects that have already been subdued are subject to disciplinary action. | 2019-04-23T03:52:27 | https://atlantablackstar.com/2014/12/22/nypd-officer/ |
Kevin Aviles and Tommy Pham, both 22 and of Jersey City, will face five to 10 years in prison for the homicide of Kermy Amparo Berroa, 22, who was killed on Manhattan Avenue near Central Avenue in the early morning hours of Aug. 17, 2014. After hearing the verdict, the pair seemed shocked..
Rather than making their young stock market swindler turn over his ill gotten gains, the Lebeds fought back. According to Jonathan’s father, who was irrationally angry at the SEC for having the gall to question his child, his son “earned it.” He went on to say, “He did a lot of work. He didn’t sit behind a garage smoking pot, or stealing wheels off a car.” Because everyone knows that stealing wheels is easy work.

K Storm Image Consulting was founded by Kylie Storm Crichton with the purpose of educating people on how to look their best in their own unique way in whatever environment they are in – in the workplace, at social events or just in every day life.
Image is so important – especially in this day and age. The right image will boost your confidence, which has a positive influence on everything you do and how you feel doing it.
Whatever your style, whether it is high maintenance, low maintenance or even no maintenance, find out how to best showcase yourself in a way that fits in with your lifestyle and personality – without spending hours getting ready.
I have been a qualified image consultant since 2012. I firmly believe in the power of dressing to make yourself feel more confident and happier. I love helping people discover how just a little more effort has such a huge payoff. It is not just about the clothes but it is how you feel in the clothes!
After having 2 kids I got way too comfortable in sweatpants and comfy T-shirts and just wasn’t feeling my best. I had always loved clothes and putting effort into my appearance but I was in a rut and had gotten lazy and I just wasn’t excited about getting dressed anymore.
Grey, black and white were not only the staples of my closet – they made up my whole wardrobe. I began to see how boring I must look every day to others.
I started making a concerted effort to incorporate new styles and new colours again, ones that actually complemented me, and I was amazed at how much more confident and happier I started to feel and how many more compliments I got. I started having fun with getting dressed again and loved seeing how moving from my “safe” colours and styles opened up so many more looks for me.
So even if you know how to dress, sometimes you need to take a step back, look at your clothes and get a reality check. Reviving your closet with fresh, new colours and styles breathes new life into an old wardrobe as well as boosting your confidence.
Life is too short to walk around in dull clothes. Make getting dressed an adventure and make sure every outfit makes you feel fantastic.

People are looking for the real deal. A vision that can be seen, not just talked about. Visual creates clarity.
Here is a clear visual of a process a church can strive to be. There are steps to becoming a fully committed follower of Christ.
1. Knowing Christ: This happens though worship, fellowship, etc.
2. Growing in Christ: This happens through discipleship, bible study, quite time, etc.
3. Serving Christ: This happens as you see God at work and you join Him there; mission projects, teaching, volunteering, etc.
4. Sharing Christ: This happens when your knowledge of Him is ready for be vocalized to others who need step 1.
As I have been studying in the Gospel of John for my sermon series, I have realized that John knew about this eternity that He believed in. He lived as if he was “in” eternity, which made him very bold and victorious in his faith. Could it be that we really are living “in” our eternity now? If we believe that as a person confesses Christ as Lord that they are fully saved and secure, then our eternity begins at that moment. Let me explain. According to 1 Thessalonians 3:13-17, believers will be in the presence of Christ immediately from the minute they depart this physical life. So, eternity starts as soon as you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9-10).
Clarity begins when we seek to clearly define the process of the vision for the church. John’s vision was for a Kingdom that could be clearly defined. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word.” John used the greek word “logos” to describe the physically spoken world that was created by God. John decided to make that clear from the start. The process is defined. John says the “Word was with God, and the Word was God.” God has always had the “Word” with Him from the beginning in His mind and as He spoke it.
Purpose Statements for churches have become the norm. The mainly include the 5 New Testament purposes of the church, which are Worship, Evangelism, Discipleship, Ministry, and Fellowship. I believe that these statements are a good way to communicate a vision. However, churches must be able to go past just defining the statement (the what);churches must be able to define the process (the how) of the purpose statement. This is a where churches should focus there energy. The process is more important than the statement itself. If a church can only define purpose, then a vital step is missing.
In his book, “Simple Church,” Thom Rainer quotes Michael hammer who is a business consultant for 2 day seminars that cost more than $2,000 to attend. Mr. Hammer says that the process is more important than the purpose because it is what makes everything work. People within a church must know and understand the process because they are who fulfills it. The process is for them.
Clearly defining the process engages people through the process because they understand the expectation. People are unable to embrace something they don’t know. Let us walk through this process together so we can be a purposeful church with a process that engages people for the Kingdom of God.
“Clarity is the ability of the process to be communicated and understood by the people,” from the Book Simple Church.
Clarity can become “clear” when properly communicated to the church. A clear process is important for a smooth transition.
Clarity must be defined, illustrated, discussed, and measured. We must, as a church, speak the same language when it comes to defining our process and purpose for the ministry of the church. Defining the process takes time. It is a communication process that needs massaging, formulating, and is to be grasped by the church in general.
If we can commit to Love God first, we are all on the same page. We do this by understanding Jesus’s statement of loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Translation: heart=passions, soul=all of your being, and mind=your filtering agent. Love God with your passions, your being, and filter them through your mind.
Secondly, loving God should result in a love for people. Jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself. A love for people is a way for our clarity in the church process to become clear. Jesus said others will know that you are my disciples by the way you love each other! | 2019-04-22T12:06:31 | https://pastorlarryfloyd.com/category/simple-church/page/2/ |

In our previous post, Finding Partners on LinkedIn, we continued our series with a discussion on how to find partners for your business on LinkedIn. In this post, we continue with a look at how to find and recruit talent on LinkedIn.
If you’re recruiting in the current economic downturn, you’re well aware of the perils of posting a job requisition on even a single online job board. The result is likely to be dozens or hundreds of resumes, many of which are not only not in the ballpark, but not even the same solar system as your requirements.
This growing deluge of eager jobseekers has accelerated an already growing trend in talent acquisition (AKA finding people to hire). More and more enterprises are de-emphasizing offline and online job posting and turning to social media sourcing, using social media sites such as LinkedIn to locate top candidates and invite them to apply, for free.
This new emphasis is akin to a fisherman changing from casting a wide net in hopes of catching a single prize fish to using sophisticated mapping and sonar to fish where the fish are.
LinkedIn is an ideal environment for finding those trophy fish.
If you’re an enterprise of some size and you’re serious about recruiting on LinkedIn, you can sign up for a LinkedIn Recruiter account. This type of account drastically improves your ability to search on LinkedIn, adds the ability to create alerts, gives you 50 InMails (ability to email anyone on LinkedIn) per month, and allows you to check references instantly. As part of their Talent Advantage program, LinkedIn also offers features such as employment ads, annual subscriptions for job listings, and customizable company profiles you can use to display different job information to LinkedIn members based on their profiles.
Be prepared to shell out some money for these features, however. Although details on cost are sketchy, it’s been reported that $29,800 is the minimum investment for the LinkedIn Talent Advantage Starter Package. You can go a bit cheaper by upgrading to one of LinkedIn’s regular paid accounts, which range from $24.95/month to $499.95/month, with discounts for buying a full year.
If you’re looking for talent, say so in your LinkedIn profile. Adding a simple line such as, “Looking for an outreach manager” or “Need a policy researcher,” or even adding, “hiring” to your professional headline can attract interest. Of course, we assume you’ve already described your business in other sections of your profile, so prospective applicants can learn more. This is often more effective than blind job postings, and is more likely to attract passive candidates — those who are not actively looking for a job.
If you’re trying to fill a position, let your connections know. One good way is to change your LinkedIn status, indicating what kind of candidate you’re looking for. Another good technique is to contact your connections, either through LinkedIn or via email, let them know about your talent search, and ask them to recommend people in their networks.
Most groups have an active Jobs section, where members post jobs and find jobs. It’s free for group members to list a job in these sections.
You may have noticed there’s a Jobs link on the LinkedIn toolbar. You can post jobs on LinkedIn, but it will cost you $195 for a 30-day posting, or you can save up to 40 percent with a multi-job pack.
All of these ideas, however, share one thing in common: They’re very similar to the post-your-job-and-hope model of talent acquisition by casting a wide net.
One of the advantages of LinkedIn is that you can find out lots about other members from their public profiles. So to find those passive candidates, or to avoid getting inundated with resumes due to public job posts, use the techniques discussed in the previous section to find candidates to invite to apply for your openings.
In fact, you may find a passive candidate may be a better choice than one who is actively looking. A LinkedIn poll found that 60 percent of employers said that passive candidates made better employees. If you believe, as unfortunately many do, that the best talent is always employed, then you can understand these poll results.
These 24 folks are likely to be not only highly experienced but, ahem, come highly recommended.
One technique you might use with LinkedIn involves scraping the results of searches right into Microsoft Excel. Using Mozenda, a versatile screen scraper that starts at $99/month, you can run the LinkedIn people search and have results exported as a CSV or Excel file. Of course, since free LinkedIn accounts only return 100 name results per search, this is another incentive to upgrade to one of the premium accounts and get 300, 500, or 700 results per search.
Next up: Who is on LinkedIn?
“If you’re looking to gauge brands’ engagement with digital media, look no further than the automotive industry. Here’s why.
In our previous post, Building Relationships on LinkedIn, we continued our series with a discussion on how to build better relationships and connect with those in your space. In this post, we continue with a look at how to find partners for your business on LinkedIn.
Some rights reserved by Kory C.
If you’re ready to find a partner — for a joint venture, for creating an event, or to form a new venture — you may find the experience is a lot like dating: Kiss a lot of frogs, and hope to get lucky. That’s partly because meeting with a new potential partner is like a blind date. You know a little about each other, and may have some friends in common, but you don’t have a relationship yet.
Well, there are more than more than 100 million frogs to kiss on LinkedIn, but one advantage of using the site is that you can get to know a lot more about your blind date before committing to dance with them.
This last attribute is very useful in finding members who are interested in making deals, and the seniority level attribute lets you search for decision makers.
Unfortunately, to use this and the other search attributes in the above list, you must upgrade from the free membership to at least the $24.95 a month Business level. But if you’re serious about making a deal with a partner, it’s not much money, and you can cancel at any time. Plus you get more InMails (ability to message random people to whom you are not connected) and search results limited to 300 instead of 100 items.
Even if you don’t upgrade, you can use the advanced search to zero in on potential partners, or better still, use Google to search LinkedIn.
The “site:” modifier restricts the Google search to pages on the target site, in this case, LinkedIn. The plus sign means the keyword is required. In this case, both “CEO” and the phrase “medical device” are required. There are lots of other modifiers you can use with advanced Google searching as well. Remember, however, Google search is limited to LinkedIn members’ public profiles, while the internal search looks at all member information.
Now that you have your candidate list, prioritize it based on the Google results and start visiting their profiles. Be sure to note the LinkedIn Groups the candidates belong to; you may want to join those groups so you can contact them. Also note whether you have second- or third-level connections who may be able to introduce you.
Once you’ve got a short list, be sure to Google each candidate and visit any relevant Websites you discover.
There are many advantages to joining LinkedIn Groups. The most relevant one here is that you can privately or publicly message other group members. You can also use your group membership as a reason to send a connection request. So join the groups your short-listed candidates belong to, and start forging a relationship with them.
You also may want your current connections to connect you. We talk more about this manner of getting connected in the upcoming post Three Degrees of LinkedIn.
We recommend only trying to connect to second level contacts this way (friends of your friends). The positive effect of an introduction can be lessened with third level contacts (friends of your friends’ friends).
Once you’re connected, let the relationship begin! Here’s hoping you get lucky!
It’s the middle of the end for print . . .
In our previous post, Prospecting for Customers on LinkedIn, we continued our series with a discussion on how to locate customers on LinkedIn. In this post, we continue with a look at how to build better relationships and connect with those in your space.
Here are some steps you can take to build a relationship with an individual or an organization via LinkedIn.
Look them up on LinkedIn — Once you’ve identified the prospective contact, do a People Search on LinkedIn by simply typing their name in the search box at the top of any LinkedIn page. If you find them, go to their profile page. See what groups they belong to, or if anyone you know can introduce you. There’s more on getting introduced in the upcoming post Three Degrees of LinkedIn.
Join the groups they are in — LinkedIn Groups are a great way to get to know people. There are thousands of groups, and most are open for anyone to join. By joining a group you can find out more about your target person, and even directly contact them via LinkedIn.
See if they’ve posted in the group discussions — If so, start by commenting on the post item. If they’ve posted a lot, keep commenting on what they say for a few posts, then send them a private message (using the Reply Privately link shown at the end of the post) asking them a question about what they said.
Try to engage them in a conversation — Once you’ve established a bit of a relationship, send your target a connection request, mentioning your common group membership and any discussions you’ve had. Do not just send the default invite; personalize it and give them a good reason to accept. There’s lots more about connection requests in the upcoming post Finding People to Invite.
Once you are connected — Download their vCard. A vCard is a contact information file in a standard format that most email programs can import. The vCard icon on LinkedIn is easy to miss. It’s located at the bottom of the first main box on a connection’s profile and it looks like the following figure. The vCard is likely to include their email address and not much else.
Email them — Periodically (don’t spam) email your contact with a bit of news or other information that they will be interested in, and ask for their comments.
Watch their activity — The various activities that your connections take on LinkedIn show up on your LinkedIn main page in a timeline. If a connection changes their profile, changes their status, or joins a group, a notice appears on your LinkedIn home page. You can comment on these events and activities as appropriate and build your relationship with them.
Ask when the time is right — Only after you’ve established a deep-enough relationship with your new connection should you start discussing the reason you wanted to know them. Exactly when and how to do this is something you’ll have to figure out for yourself. Put yourself in their position: If they asked you to take an action, would you? | 2019-04-26T02:06:51 | https://www.socialmediaperformancegroup.com/2012/11/page/2/ |

The average value of used diesels sold in the UK in the third quarter of this year is 5.7% lower than in the first quarter. For some popular diesel models, valuations are down by as much as 26%. Time to panic?
No – panic is never a good guide. But for everyone affected by the residual values of diesel cars, from dealers to fleets and manufacturers, this precipitous drop in Residual Values is cause for worry, and attention. And not just in the UK, even though the RV drop has some very country-specific causes.
Because the fact is that diesel is under fiscal and regulatory pressure across Europe, and the big question is how long the motorisation's inherent advantages (especially for higher-mileage use) will continue to outweigh the disadvantages (especially for fleets, which typically have a higher-than-average diesel share).
The UK figures were collected by Motorway.co.uk, a British used-car valuations platform. The company analysed more than 24,000 used-car valuations made since the start of 2017, focusing on the 10 most popular models in the UK. Valuations for diesel cars were compared to those for equivalent petrol cars. The overall result: whereas average used diesel values have dropped by almost 6% from Q1 to Q3, average used-petrol values have increased by 5%. The divergence is the result of a drastically reduced demand for so-called 'dirty diesels'.
Hardly anyone needs reminding that the declining fortunes of diesel can be traced back to the VW emissions scandal also known as 'Dieselgate', which erupted in September 2015. The affair fatally amplified the already growing negative vibe surrounding diesel's impact on air quality.
Diesel, once subsidised throughout Europe for its lower emissions of CO2 than petrol, has since fallen out of favour with both national and local governments (abolishing favourable taxation, installing punitive bans), manufacturers (signalling a switch to electric) and consumers (for both economic and ecological reasons).
The question since then has been: When will this start to affect diesel market share, and diesel RVs? Fast-falling residual values will have an amplifying effect, reducing the business case for buying new diesels. The news from the UK now seems to indicate that the trickle of diesel devaluation is turning into a flood.
It could be argued that the situation in the UK is determined by country-specific announcements of 'toxin taxes' and diesel scrappage schemes, but other countries have their own factors pulling the market away from diesel. What the almost 6% drop in used-diesel values over just half a year indicates, is that the pace of diesel devaluation is accelerating.
→ The Audi A3 diesel model lost 11.3% of its residual value from Q1 to Q3. The petrol version gained 5.2% over the same period.
→ The BMW 3-Series diesel lost 6.18% over two quarters, while the used petrol version gained 11.91%.
→ The average used diesel version of the Ford Fiesta lost 4.77%, while the petrol version gained 7.33% in value.
→ The average RV for the Ford Focus diesel lost 2.98%, the petrol version gained 17.79%.
→ Sharpest used-diesel declines were noted for the popular Opel/Vauxhall models Corsa (-26.31%) and Astra (pictured; -17.75%).
→ Only the used-diesel versions of the Nissan Qashqai (+0.52%) and the VW Polo (+1.52%) saw their RVs rise, but far less than their petrol counterparts (+12.4% and +19.3%, respectively).
“Used-diesel car prices are only going one way – and that’s down”, commented Alex Buttle, director of Motorway.co.uk, on his company's survey. “This year has already been a total shocker for diesel owners. And now that most major manufacturers have launched diesel scrappage schemes, it doesn’t look like it’s about to get any better. Diesel cars are really starting to look like white elephants”.
Mr. Buttle pointed out that more and more motorists are choosing used petrol over used diesel, which translates into rising values for the former. Electric and hybrid cars are also benefiting from the trend, albeit less than petrol – at least for now. One silver lining: “For prospective buyers purely after cheap deals, it is definitely 'bargain bucket bonanza' time in the used-diesel market”, says Mr. Buttle. | 2019-04-19T05:36:18 | https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/features/uk-used-diesel-values-drop-6-six-months?a=FJA05&t%5B0%5D=Remarketing&t%5B1%5D=Diesel&t%5B2%5D=RV&t%5B3%5D=Petrol&t%5B4%5D=CO2&t%5B5%5D=Hybrid&t%5B6%5D=United%20Kingdom&curl=1 |
Jennifer's 365 Project: 1068/365 - EXFOLIATE!
A little over a week ago after finishing up my first knitting project (blanket), I decided to try a Dalek washcloth. Yes, I do still have a scarf in progress for Chris, but it's been so warm this winter, he doesn't really need it anyway. Besides, that thing is taking forever.
This washcloth, however, is knitting up quick! I've completed the skirt and soon it will be onto the eye-stalk and finishing border.
I'm totally going to make another one of these in green. | 2019-04-23T02:54:20 | http://www.shatteredhaven.com/2012/02/1068365-exfoliate.html?widgetType=BlogArchive&widgetId=BlogArchive1&action=toggle&dir=open&toggle=YEARLY-1293858000000&toggleopen=MONTHLY-1328072400000 |
The past weekend saw another wave of fine dust blanket South Korea. Over the past 10 years, the frequency of waves of fine dust has increased steadily, causing people to worry about their negative effects on public health.
The problem also causes changes in daily life. An elementary school teacher I met last autumn told me that schools are eliminating playgrounds because there are so few days when the air is clean enough for children to use them.
In response, the government began to issue more assertive warnings on air quality and, in response to the most recent wave, banned some cars from the road in severely affected areas on alternating days based on the last digit of their licence plates. Though well intended, these efforts do not constitute a long-term response. To develop such a response, the South Korean government first needs to find out the causes. The first thing is to figure out how much of the pollution is domestic and how much comes from China and, perhaps, North Korea.
The nonprofit World Air Quality Index project in Beijing collects environmental information from 9,000 stations run by environmental agencies around the world and displays it on a searchable map. Over the past three years, I checked air quality in South Korea using the map. Seoul and areas down the west of the country are usually worse than areas on the east side. Many cities in northern China, meanwhile, have extremely bad air. The air gets better moving south in China. Air-quality stations in Japan are usually green, which is the best category. North Korea is blank, because there are no data. The overall pattern is clear: Areas with the worst air quality in northern China are surrounded by a zone of bad air that wraps over the Korean Peninsula. Air quality is moderate in Taiwan and most of the southern rim of China, and good in Japan. This pattern suggests that fine dust and pollution from northern China are carried over Korea by prevailing winds from the west but weaken as they pass over Korea and the East Sea on the way to Japan. This is the same weather pattern that blows yellow dust from the Gobi Desert over northern China and then Korea. If China is the main cause of poor air quality, the South Korean government needs to raise the issue with China diplomatically. China is no doubt aware of the problem because the core of the bad air sits near its capital, Beijing. At some point China’s leaders should begin to worry about whether their capital and large swaths of the country with hundreds of millions are people will become uninhabitable.
The more immediate concern is the health of children. The government should move quickly to ensure that schools have advanced air filtration systems and that buildings are altered to keep as much of the bad air out as possible. At the same time, the government needs to sponsor research projects to determine the scope of the problem and measure progress in combating it. Research on the sources of the pollution is important to finding a solution, but research also needs to be conducted to evaluate possible health problems of breathing highly polluted air over time.
Finally, the government should include environmental cooperation in the list of areas for possible collaboration between South and North Korea. The two countries can work together to push China to act. | 2019-04-23T16:44:51 | http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/opinion/30362397 |

I started an evening class in Ballroom and Latin American dancing class a couple of weeks ago. This is my second attempt at ballroom dancing I also took a ballroom dancing class last year. My interest in ballroom dancing started a few years ago when I got addicted to Strictly Ballroom on BBC1. All of the people that took part just looked so graceful and elegant even the ones that weren’t that good still managed to look great on the dance floor. There is something mesmerising about good dancers, watching them glide around a dance floor is a bit addictive. I really enjoyed the first dancing class that I did and the teacher was excellent. She was great at explaining the steps and getting everyone in the large class to give it a try. The class that I’m doing now is in a different location and with a smaller group. Unfortunately the teacher of this class isn’t as good as the previous teacher that I had. It’s not that he can’t dance, he technically can but he just doesn’t look at all graceful or elegant when he is dancing. He sort of reminds me of the character of the priest (played by Graham Norton I believe) dancing in a caravan in an episode of Father Ted. I’ve been trying hard to get that image out of my head ever since the first class a couple of weeks ago. The class is still fun and we are due to learn how to Jive in a few weeks so I’m not willing to give up on it yet!

In this Year of Faith, marking the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, perhaps no other saint holds more relevance to the Christian than the Mother of Jesus Christ. Her story, tied so intimately to that of her Son and to the story of salvation, is characterized largely by her walk of faith.
In Walking with Mary (Image Books), theologian Edward Sri looks at key moments in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary and draws practical lessons from them for the lives of ordinary Christians.
Sri, provost and professor of theology of the Augustine Institute in Colorado, responded to email questions about his new book and about Mary’s relevance for fathers and families.
FFG: What do you hope the average Christian will take away from Walking with Mary?
Sri: I hope readers will come to know the humanness of Mary better. Many Catholics know Mary as the Mother of God and the Queen of heaven and earth, but how many of us know her humanness and the profound interior journey of faith she made? Mary was certainly endowed with unique graces and privileges, but she remains someone to whom we can all relate. She experienced the joys of parenthood and the blessings of walking in God’s ways. But she also experiences moments of discernment, moments of trials and sufferings, times when she did not understand what was happening and all she could do is keep all these things and ponder them in her heart. How Mary handled those opportunities and challenges in her life can teach us much about how we should respond to God’s will in our own lives.
In the book I consider nine pivotal moments in Mary’s life as revealed in Scripture; nine steps of faith the Lord invited her to take. What we see is that throughout her life, from Nazareth to the temple to the cross, God was constantly calling Mary to ever greater levels of trust and surrender. And at every step of the way, she responded with perfect faith.
FFG: Is “walking with Mary” necessary for the Christian life?
Sri: Yes. The Bible reveals Mary as the first and model disciple. She is the one who first responds positively to God’s will in the New Testament era, and all throughout her life from Nazareth to the cross to the eve of Pentecost, Mary stands out as someone who remained faithful to God’s will — someone who heard the word of God and kept it faithfully.
FFG: You mention that the book could be read by both Catholics and Protestants. In your experience, what opens Protestants to the Catholic understanding about Mary?
Sri: I’ve already heard positive feedback from some Protestants about the ideas in this book. “I’ve never thought of Mary this way before!” is what one of my friends told me recently. I think some Protestants are so concerned about Catholic doctrines and devotional practices regarding Mary that they miss seeing how the Bible itself reveals her to be a model disciple for us to imitate. But I think this book will be very welcoming for many Protestants because it’s focused on the Scriptures.
Sri: For me personally, the prayer, research and writing surrounding this book has made me want to draw even closer to Mary and to share with my children more about her life. They know the Marian prayers and devotions. They know the doctrines. But I want them to know more intimately the person of Mary — the young woman of Nazareth who was called by God to something great and had to make a choice; the woman who humbly thanked God for all His blessings in the Magnificat; the woman who constantly asked what the Lord was trying to teach her as difficult events unfolded in her life; and the woman who did not run away from the cross, but remained close to Jesus in his suffering. Since Mary is such an outstanding model of the human journey of faith, she can be a concrete reference point for our own lives. She can serve as an example of how to live with Jesus deeply in our daily lives.
So certainly, we should pray to Mary as a married couple, as a family. In fact, the Rosary or at least a decade of the Rosary each day as a family is a great way to draw the family near to Mary. But we should also take time to know her and consider her exemplary faith for our lives.

Todd Archer reports that the Cowboys have scheduled to host Louisiana Tech DE Jaylon Ferguson and Baylor WR Jalen Hurd for pre-draft visits next week.
Ferguson previously worked out for the Saints, and visited with the Ravens, Buccaneers, Bengals, Raiders and Bills.
Ferguson, 23, holds the all-time NCAA FBS record for sacks and could be a second-round pick in April’s draft.
Ferguson was not allowed to compete in drills at the Combine after a background check found incidents that violated the NFL’s conduct policy for the event. He was, however, allowed to go through medical evaluations.
Ferguson recorded 187 tackles, 67.5 tackles for a loss, 45 sacks, seven forced fumbles, three recoveries and six pass defenses over the course of four seasons and 50 games played at Louisiana Tech.
Hurd, 23, is considered to be a mid-round prospect in this year’s draft class. He initially began his college career at Tennessee before transferring to Baylor for the 2017 season.
Lance Zeirlein compares Hurd to Terrelle Pryor.
During his four-year college career, Hurd caught 136 passes for 1,438 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns. He also rushed for 2,844 yards on 637 carries (4.5 YPC) to go along with 23 touchdowns over the course of 45 games. | 2019-04-20T18:27:48 | https://nfltraderumors.co/cowboys-hosting-latech-de-jaylon-ferguson-baylor-wr-jalen-hurd-next-week/ |
My reading went slightly off piste this week when I read the non-fiction book Oil Legends of the Rockies: The Remarkable 60-Year Quest for Oil, Power, and Money in Denver and the Rocky Mountain West by John Barton with Jean Torkelson recommended to me by my old high school friend, John M King IV.
Oil Legends of the Rockies is a relatively short book of only 220 pages and recounts the history of the oil industry in the Rockies, centred on Denver, Colorado from the earliest discovery in 1949 to the present day. It also tells the stories of the men behind the oil, from Bill and Maury Goodin to Philip Anschutz and many of the wildcatters who developed smaller fields than the big companies.
The book also discusses the importance of Denver as an oil centre. Many of the companies that set up shop in Denver have names that resonate today and include Shell Oil, which was had offices at Sherman Street, while Sinclair Oil & Gas and Phillips Petroleum both had offices at the Denver Club Building while Gulf Oil was located at the University Building, and Continental Oil had its own building too.
Perhaps because Oil Legends of the Rockies covers such a long period of history and the stories of so many individuals the book suffers, somewhat, in that it is a little superficial. However, for anybody studying this subject it is a great starting point. The Oil Legends of the Rockies is definitely a book of interest to a niche market, but despite that it is a useful historical record. | 2019-04-24T16:22:00 | https://bookreviewstoday.info/2018/07/18/oil-legends-of-the-rockies-by-john-barton-with-jean-torkelson/ |

The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed rate mortgage, which had been sitting for days at 4.40 percent, fell sharply to 4.34 percent, the lowest in over a year and 19 basis points lower than a year ago.
The rate had surged to over 5 percent at the start of November, which caused home sales to fall sharply in December and January.
Looking at the 30-year fixed rate on a $300,000 mortgage, every 25 basis point move down means a savings of $50 on a monthly payment. | 2019-04-19T13:10:09 | https://www.gilmourteam.com/2019/03/28/mortgage-rates-just-tanked-thanks-to-the-fed-and-could-go-even-lower/ |

Fun to Make Homemade Bagels!
Grab the cream cheese and get ready for the most delicious warm-from-the-oven homemade bagels. The first time I made these, I couldn’t believe how easy the recipe was and how much fun my son and I had making them. My husband called the bagels a labor of love. It was really cold out on a Sunday morning and no one wanted to run out to get our usual Sunday morning breakfast. I looked on the internet for ways to make homemade bagels and came up with this remarkably easy recipe. My son Josh loves an everything bagel and believe it or not, I had bought the everything mix from Trader Joe’s weeks before, thinking I would use it to season chicken. I had everything else in my pantry. Look how amazing these came out! We all loved them and now I’m looking forward to having company over next Sunday to make these for them. Try this recipe soon and don’t forget to top with your favorite schmear.
Do you know what would be just perfect with a homemade bagel? My “No Machine – 3 Step Homemade Cappuccino”.
In a small bowl, pour ½ cup warm water, yeast and sugar.
Allow it to sit, unstirred, for about 5 minutes until it is foamy. Mix together.
In a second large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour the water/yeast mixture.
Mix together. If needed, add a small amount of water.
Knead for about 10 minutes or until dough is elastic and smooth.
Brush with oil and place in a bowl in a warm place. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Punch the dough and let rise for 10 minutes more.
Divide into 8-11 balls, depending how small or large you like your bagels.
In the center of the ball make a hole with your thumb.
Place on parchment paper or silpat cookie sheet, cover with clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On the stove, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
Drop the bagel into the boiling water and let sit for 1 minute. (For extra chewy bagels, sit for 2 minutes) Flip and repeat on the other side.
Place on a heavy rimmed cookie sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper.
Brush the top of the bagels with egg white and sprinkle with seasonings.
Remove from oven and let cool enough to hold. Be careful when cutting if the bagels are still hot. You just made a homemade bagel! | 2019-04-24T18:14:49 | https://parade.com/842822/pambeth/fun-to-make-homemade-bagels/ |
Dale Weise has added to the Philadelphia Flyers woes by getting himself suspended after an illegal check to the head of Anaheim’s Korbinian Holzer. Weise was suspended three games and forfeits $39, 166,68. Please take a moment to watch the video below.
Aside from begging the question ‘why can’t the Flyers control their own skaters’, Weise’s suspension once again highlights the the ridiculously lenient punishments handed out for illegal hits to the head. Before we change tack, it’s worth remembering that Weise is a repeat offender. In September 2013 he was suspended three games for an illegal hit to the head on Taylor Hall, while in May 2014 Weise was the victim of the same offence. John Moore of the New York Rangers received a two game suspension for that hit. So if being on both the giving and receiving end of such a hit isn’t a deterrent, what is?
Before we look at these hits in more detail; what game was the official watching? Holzer was maybe three yards away yet no penalty was assessed on the ice.
All hits are dangerous, but hits to the head are especially so, and with the current focus in the media on concussion injuries it would seem like reducing the amount of hits would be a focus for the NHL. With that in mind it would make sense to punish offenders with lengthy suspensions. So let’s take a look at the average suspension for an illegal hit to the head. The graph below shows how long the average suspension was, and we’ve broken it down by season.
During the 2015-16 season, seven players were suspended for illegal hits to the head. The average suspension was 8.3 games, that sounds respectable, but that includes Raffi Torres‘ 41 game suspension for his hit on Jakob Silfverberg (blue line). Take Torres out of the equation and the average suspension drops down to just 2.8 games (red line). That Torres suspension skews the figures considerably, but for argument’s sake we can discount him as his punishment was exceptional (although definitely warranted).
What the red line above does tell is, is that there has been a constant downward trend with the length of suspensions issued. What we can also see is that the NHL’s Department of Player Safety (DOPS) has been uncharacteristically consistent over the last few seasons. So that’s a positive, I guess. Returning to Weise, we know that Weise is a repeat offender, and his original three game suspension wasn’t enough to stop him repeating the offence. Furthermore, in the DOPS video the narrator clearly states that the previous hit was taken into consideration, yet the punishment was the same. What gives? Weise’s hit wasn’t that far removed from Torres’. Both made the head the target and both kinda jumped into the hit. Clearly Torres’ history dictated a massive suspension, and Weise is not Torres. But still, the 38 game difference in suspensions is hard for the DOPS to quantify.
In light of Weise's recent suspension, how long should a player be suspended for an illegal hit to the head?
Thank you to all those who voted. The results were definitely tighter than I expected which shows this is quite an emotive issue. The slim majority went with a 10 game plus. This may seem severe, but 10 games is much more of a deterrent than three.
This is my favourite response, although if I worked for the Department of Player Safety I’d look for a compromise. 10 games plus victims’ games missed for the first offense, I’m all for sitting out the rest of the season for a second offense. Huge steps have been made to make the game safer for those who play it, but hits like these will continue to happen unless something changes.
Ultimately there’s no excuse for hits to the head, I get hockey is a contact sport and that’s one of the reasons I love to watch it, but nobody likes to see a skater get wiped out by a selfish act. Whether or not the DOPS steps up and gives out penalties that will make the hockey playing community think twice about laying one on their opponents face remains to be seen, although the way the trend line is going, probably not.

Are you interested in learning more about what Acquia is all about? If you’re attending DrupalCon 2019 in Seattle, you’ll have many opportunities to get to know us and our work. One of the best ways to do so is to attend one of our DrupalCon sessions!
This year, we’re thrilled to be hosting two sponsored sessions, as well as a number of lightning sessions at our booth in the exhibit hall. We’ll also be debuting our new Acquia Developer Studio. Our ambition is to empower developers to innovate the most powerful digital experiences in less time, with less effort, and with more flexibility. The Acquia Developer Studio is the means in which we provide a fully integrated system out of the box with an open architecture to plug and play as desired.
Here’s a preview of what we’ll be up to at DrupalCon Seattle. We’re excited about everything that we have in store for you, and can’t wait to meet you!
DrupalCon Seattle is also where we’ll debut the Command Line Interface (CLI), the first offering from our new Acquia Developer Studio. The Acquia Developer Studio CLI is designed to provide developers with the process efficiencies they need to complete projects, but for which they commonly have had to seek alternative technologies.
Radically faster on-boarding, through next-generation local and cloud enterprise development solutions and BYO integrations that remove many of the complex and repetitive tasks from traditional site building.
The best way to learn more about Acquia Developer Studio CLI is to see it for yourself. Swing by our booth to gain early adopter access!
April 10, 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.
While developers have embraced Drupal for many reasons, there’s one thing it hasn’t been known for: getting developer workflows up and running quickly and easily. We built Acquia Lightning especially with developers in mind to address that very pitfall.
During this session, we’ll take a look at common problems that frequently appear in projects, and explore how the combination of Acquia Lightning and Acquia’s developer tools can help you address them in new ways.
April 10, 11:40 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.
While conversations about personalization often center on the end result of conversion, what’s less frequently explored is exactly what element of the process prompted the customer to take that action. During this session, we’ll look at a single personalization experience, from operator to end user, and share a framework, use cases, and best practices you can use to take on the challenge of creating your own personalization experiences.
We love opportunities to teach others and share the power of Drupal, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing at DrupalCon Seattle. During lightning sessions, our Acquia team will be discussing everything from the only personalization tool optimized for Drupal to creating personalized, content-rich experiences for commerce customers.
April 9, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
April 10, 3:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.
We have learned from our customers and partners over the years and have gone back to the drawing board to make personalization easier than ever for teams small and large, for folks that are technical and non-technical. Our new tool makes personalization easier than ever before.
Explore the current state of Developer tools and how Acquia came to the decision to focus on expanding the developer tools available to the community.
April 10, 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Learn how you can use the Acquias Lightning Drupal distribution to accelerate your Drupal 8 site development. Watch Lightning in action, and see how Lightning 4 will leverage the best parts of Drupal 8.7 to deliver out-of-the-box layout, media, workflow, and API capabilities.
April 10, 12:30 p.m. to 12:50 p.m.
A continuation of the Acquia Commerce Framework discussion with a look at the Elastic Path connector and how it works to help integrate commerce into your Drupal site.
April 10, 1:00 p.m. to 1:20 p.m.
Acquia Cloud CD provides digital experience developers, testers, and DevOps teams a continuous delivery cloud service to quickly create customer value by accelerating integration and delivery of production ready features. In this session, we will explore a Acquia CD build file that will automatically create a new CD environment for each pull request.
April 11, 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Learn how Drupal delivers universal content flexibility — providing the greatest creative flexibility to front-end developers and content authors to build content-rich experiences for any channel, device or type of interaction with three different modes that cover the “best of all worlds”.
April 11, 12:00 p.m. to 12:20 p.m.
The final Acquia Commerce Framework session which explores the Big Commerce connector and its approach to commerce with Drupal as the glass.
April 11, 12:30 p.m. to 12:50 p.m.
Acquia Lightning is an open source Drupal 8 distribution with preselected modules and configuration to help developers build better sites faster and run them on Acquia Cloud. We will give you a look at the roadmap for 2019 for this distribution and what is to come!
April 11, 1:00 p.m. to 1:20 p.m.

As Canadian homeowners, we’ve grown accustomed to dealing with harsh winters, and experiencing the impact they can have on our homes.
As the snow outside accumulates, we want to remind condo residents what to look out for in order to ensure the moisture level in your suite doesn’t become excessive.
First, here’s a little about moisture in new buildings. Condensation is at its maximum in new buildings. When your home was built, gallons of water went into its construction through the materials such as concrete, drywall, paint, and grout which contain substantial amounts of water. As these materials dry, the water gradually evaporates, which consequently raises the moisture content in the air. Proper ventilation will bring this normal drying-out process to its conclusion as steadily as possible, so it is important that you don’t try to accelerate the process by creating extremely high temperatures during the winter. Doing so can cause the materials in your beautiful new home to dry out unevenly, which can exaggerate the effects of normal shrinkage.
1. Check and clean both the dryer duct lint trap on the laundry room ceiling and the lint screen inside your dryer to ensure that the moist air from the dryer is being properly expelled.
2. Turn on the exhaust fan when bathing or showering.
3. Use kitchen exhaust fan when cooking.
4. Humidifiers should be on a “LOW” setting and kept away from cold windows and doors.
5. Interior doors should be kept open to provide adequate air circulation.
6. Windows should be opened briefly on a daily basis to provide proper ventilation.
7. Moisture from plants and aquariums will also add to humidity levels and possibly cause condensation.
8. In suite, never apply weather stripping to the suite entry door jamb. All suite entry doors are designed to provide a constant and controlled flow of air to allow your suite to “breathe”.
9. Do not obstruct vents as they are vital to the proper circulation of air.
Last but not least, don’t second guess whether your new windows are doing their job. Just a friendly reminder that the condensation and formation of ice on the surface of your window pane is also typically the result of excessive humidity inside your suite. | 2019-04-25T04:56:48 | http://menkescondorentals.com/news-detail.php?HUMIDITY-LEVELS-RISING-DON-T-SWEAT-IT-1 |

Same as the other "Post your cards" discussion except you must comment or favorite the card above yours to post your own.
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/versatile-champion In my opinion it's my best card.
Versatile Champion is a cool design! However, vigilance on a red card’s a little odd. If you made it white though, it’d be just about perfect. Overall, an excellent design!
@Lujikul It should probs be a one time use card.
@DoctorFro. I actually really like the idea of breaking the symmetry with timing. Some things are kinda clunky about this card. It doesn't have a "mana of any color" clause, and I think it does a weird thing where you draw the card and then the trigger goes on the stack, so you can respond to it while the card is still in your hand. I would just have it so at the beginning of their upkeep they reveal the top card of their library and may exile it.
Also really good channel idea!
"It's probably too strong, you've used the wrong symbol for apostrophe, and it wouldn't get a question mark in the name. However, I really like this 'flavorfully' and mechanically. It's taking a risk, but it is so cool to just go 'tap a swamp, kill that big dude.'"
@faiths_guide it’s a good card! Somehow it doesn’t feel red to me. Red doesn’t do things in such measured and thought out ways. But I don’t know what other color it would be.
Maybe green. I don’t know. Maybe it is red.
Make sure to duplicate the comment on the card page.
You've got a card you'd like comments on?
@faiths_guide I haven't created anything that thrills me in the last couple of days.
@NextUp May enter anything they like without liking/commenting!
@pjbear he’s a marvelous commander! The CMC replacement ability is something I have not seen before.
I would remove hexproof (on general principle - too many permanent cards we make get it) and increase the life gain and card draw to three.
Any card you'd like comments on?
Only to keep this discussion more streamlined, if you don't have a card would you mind commenting only in card comment sections? Also, you don't need to submit designs you think are good, getting comments on sub-par designs (like most of mine) is where we learn most!
Umm nothing in particular just any that you think deserve comments or fav?
@NextUp must comment in this card's comment section or fave it. Then link a card you'd like input or faves on.
@pjbear2005 It seems odd to have an angel in green, and why the black creature clause? Other than that it's a pretty good card.
Any critiques on this flip pair? I can give background on the character if you request.
+1: Create an 0/1 green Plant creature token.
It's a shame that the planeswalker editor does not support mana symbols, so the 3rd ability doesn't look very nice. The transformation and the other side are cool, but the flavor seems a little bit off. There is a bear in the flip side's artwork, for example. Why?
@TenebrisNemo I like it a lot! Faved.
@shadow123 - There are no other quibbles except it's too good for its low CMC at the moment.
My two most recent cards (as of this posting), created for a flavor text challenge. I'm not sure of wording/etc., and I'm concerned as to the issue of balance.
@FireWolf767 favorite or comment TenebrisNemo's card and shadow123's card then you are not breaking this thread's rule!
P.S. I commented on your cards' pages.
Oh. Right. Sorry, @Tomigon . @TenebrisNemo , the card is good, but seems limited in scope. I can't see myself playing this in a format where the common play is 1v1. Seems limited to Commander/EDH/similar formats. However, if I were playing a mono-black deck in one of these formats, I'd love this card! Balance-wise, the cost may be a little low--after all, this is basically a "take control of another player for the rest of the game" type of thing.
Overall, I admire it! Keep up the good work you do here!
Very cool card concept. My suggestion would be to increase the mana cost to at least 3. Because this card has the potential to draw each player a ton of cards and deal a lot of damage to them, having it at 1 mana is risky, particularly because players will not have a lot of time to empty their hand. Another concern I have is the play pattern that arises with this card. Because the second ability will deal 5+ damage and only increase as the game progresses, this can easily lead to board states where no one will attack because gaining control of the scepter is such a liability.
Here is my card, with a custom mechanic I designed, Stockpile. It is a way to use leftover mana. Please let me know what you think of this mechanic and any suggestions you have on its rules text would be great as it is really wordy but I can't think of a shorter way to write out the same functionality.
@bnew07 Rider of Devil Gorge is a very simple and complex card at the same time, it almost feels like time suspended and dash got melded together a little to me. I agree it's wordy but I can't think of a way to shorten the wording without changing the mechanics. If I do I'll come back or pm you to let you know. I like the card though, it's got the right art for the haste feel and a good name too and right colors. At 1st I felt it could be 1colorless red red instead for its CMc but after rereading the card over a couple times I agree it should be at 2colorless red red. Nice card! | 2019-04-26T16:06:59 | http://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/3627/post-your-cards-here-actually-see-what-others-think |
Frank Zindler (The Jesus the Jews Never Knew) gives five reasons to think that Josephus said nothing at all about John the Baptist.
This is something that is not generally welcomed by those who are primarily interested in defending the possibility of any independent (non Christian) evidence at all for the historical background to the gospel narrative, but it is of interest to anyone who is interested in examining the evidence with an open mind.
Unlike the interpolation of the Jesus passage(s) into Josephus, Zindler suggests that the John the Baptist passage was inserted by a Jewish Christian or “an apologist for one of the myriad ‘heretical’ sects which are known to have existed from the earliest periods of Christian history.” (p. 96) One possibility he offers is even a pre-Christian Baptist of some sort.
The First Gospel was a Jewish Novel?
Though most scholars of the gospels appear to regard the gospels as a form of ancient biographies of Jesus, there are a number who continue to doubt that “biography” really does describe their genre. One of these is Michael E. Vines, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Lees-McRae College, North Carolina, who wrote The Problem of Markan Genre: The Gospel of Mark and the Jewish Novel.
In order to know how to interpret and understand a literary work it is important to understand its genre and the conventions associated with that genre. A work will expect to be read in a certain way according to its genre, whether it is a biography, history, historical novel, romance novel, epic, tragedy, satire, etc.
I outline here in gossamer thin dot points some of Vines’ reasons for reading the Gospel of Mark as a Jewish novel rather than as another ancient biography. Much of Vines’ book is a discussion of the Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin‘s analysis of what constitutes a literary genre. That is (for me at least) a fascinating study that I would love to explore in greater depth and one that I will probably post on in future discussions of Gospel (especially the Gospel of Mark’s) genre. So what follows cannot possibly be a communication of a full grasp of Vines’ understanding of the genre of the Gospel of Mark. But I will try to present salient points without denying some justice to both Vines’ and Bakhtin’s analysis.
I have only now completed reading Vines’ book so have not yet had time to digest it and compare its propositions with alternative perspectives. So what I give here is Vines “in the raw”. I expect in relatively short time I will see some details slightly differently. | 2019-04-23T18:11:36 | https://vridar.org/2011/01/29/ |

We thank the Department of Dance for its generous support and continued provision of rehearsal space. | 2019-04-20T18:36:48 | https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwdance/article/CBCs-Spring-2016-Performances-at-Miller-Theatre-Set-20160325 |
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — the average millionaire has seven streams of income. Seven. Not just a 9-5 day job, guys — seven streams.
I love being a mom. I love being home with my babies and working around their schedules. Having one parent home has really improved our lives more than I can even say, but that’s a whole other blog post.
I don’t like working outside of the home for others. This is something that I’ve learned about myself early on. I don’t like the confinement of having to show up at a specific location for a specific number of hours, day in and day out. I also don’t like other people telling me how many vacation days or sick days I’m allowed to have. I’m aware that this is my own personal flaw — trust me, I have many.
I make a full-time income on part-time hours with side hustles — I have great ambitions to increase that amount even more as the years pass. It really just works for our family.
1. It’s Financially Smart. Remember above when we talked about the seven streams of income? I don’t know many wealthy people in real life that make their money from a single source. Sure, there are exceptions, but generally, a lot goes into that financial stability. There is passive income happening, too, often in the form of investments and other money that contributes to their bottom line. I also believe that you should never place all your eggs in one basket. When I was 13, I lost my father to pancreatic cancer. I watched my parents’ comfortable lifestyle deteriorate as my mom was left to raise me as a single parent. Life happens, and streams of income can shift. Sometimes they’re stagnant, sometimes they trickle, and sometimes they dry up altogether. We hear it all the time — jobs are lost, and life moves in a different direction. Side hustles are a fiscally responsible choice that help contribute to your family’s stability and financial freedom. They often don’t require much to start-up, either, so if one fails, you can always try another without too much of a loss.
2. They’re a great outlet to channel your passions. I have some incredibly smart, driven, and savvy mom friends who have their own great side hustles that are based around their passions and schedules. If you’re an esthetician but want to primarily be home with your kids, why not have your own side business? If you have a marketing background, consider freelancing and helping small businesses build their brands. Are you creative? Open an Etsy shop or other small business where you can work with your hands and your heart. Want passive income but don’t want overhead costs or having to deal with inventory? Consider joining a multi-level marketing company for some “fun money.” Whatever it is you’re passionate about, there’s a side hustle for that — and chances are, it’s going to feel really good to work your business.
3. You’ll meet new people and grow your village. Here in Austin, most of the moms that I’ve met are transplants. We’ve left behind families and friends to venture into the land of tacos and cacti. Having a business means dealing with people, whether that is your customer base or other professionals in your field. Finding your tribe is priceless, and some of the very best moms that I’m grateful to call my close friends were made in my side hustle adventures.
Now, I fully realize that side hustles might not work for everyone. They certainly have drawbacks — nobody is typically contributing to your 401K, and there is no such thing as paid time off. If you don’t work because you’re sick or give birth, you don’t get paid in some instances. However, for a lot of people out there — both working and at home — side hustles are a great option that can really give your family a lot of added flexibility.
What do you think? Have you considered a side hustle? | 2019-04-23T06:45:02 | http://motherhoodwritten.com/2017/04/03/three-reasons-have-side-hustle/ |

Entitlement spending is generally said to be uncontrollable for political rather than legal reasons. It can always be controlled legally by reforming programs, but when an entitlement is extremely popular, reform may require more political courage than is readily available.
The federal budget divides government spending into three categories: discretionary spending, mandatory or direct spending, and net interest.
Discretionary spending, set in annual appropriations acts developed by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, includes most defense programs as well as spending for education, transportation, environmental protection, law enforcement and border security, international assistance, and a host of other programs.
Mandatory spending, controlled by laws other than appropriations acts, includes spending on entitlement programs. This includes the big three—Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—and many smaller programs such as supplemental nutrition assistance, federal civilian and military retirement benefits, and unemployment insurance. Spending is also mandatory for items the government cannot avoid, such as bills from suppliers of goods and services and plaintiff awards from lawsuits.
Government spending on mandatory programs and net interest on the public debt are often described as “uncontrollable.” Entitlements can be controlled legally by reforming them, but this can be highly unpopular politically. Interest costs can be controlled indirectly by curbing spending growth or raising revenues, but that is also difficult.
Uncontrollable spending has been growing much more rapidly than total spending and thus accounts for an ever-larger share of the total. However, most growth has been concentrated in entitlements that serve the elderly and in health insurance. The population has been aging rapidly, and that affects both Social Security and health programs. The latter have grown twice as rapidly because even after adjusting for aging, health costs per beneficiary have been growing faster than incomes per capita. Health cost growth has slowed recently, but the Congressional Budget Office expects it to reaccelerate in the long run. Social Security and Medicare, the largest health program, are among the most politically popular programs ever invented.
As a matter of law, though, entitlement spending can be controlled in the long run by changing eligibility criteria or the generosity of benefits. This would require Congress to actively change the law, but as implied above, that is politically perilous. In contrast, a discretionary program, unless renewed, will automatically expire when its funding does. Discretionary spending is therefore often assumed to be easier to control than entitlement spending. But the difference should not be exaggerated: cuts in appropriations from year to year can also be highly unpopular and politically difficult.
As shown in figure 1, mandatory spending has grown as a percentage of overall spending in the last 50 years. In fiscal 1965, mandatory spending plus net interest constituted 34.2 percent of total spending. By fiscal 2015 the share had doubled to 68.4 percent. Over the same period, Social Security’s share of total spending rose from 14.4 percent to 23.9 percent. Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965 and were responsible for a small portion of total spending throughout the rest of the 1960s. But by 2015 they and other health care programs consumed 25.4 percent of outlays. In contrast, defense discretionary spending fell over the same period from 43.1 percent of total spending at the peak of the Vietnam War to 15.8 percent in 2015. The percentage of total spending devoted to nondefense discretionary programs also fell from 22.7 percent in 1965 to 15.9 percent in 2015, but this has fluctuated significantly over the period.

Ericoides Whitecedar has attractive bluish-green foliage. The scale-like leaves are highly ornamental and turn coppery-bronze in fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.
Ericoides Whitecedar is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.
Ericoides Whitecedar will grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 7 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more. | 2019-04-26T05:04:33 | http://plants.squakmtnursery.com/12230001/Plant/682/Ericoides_Whitecedar |

There’s lots of bikeshare systems in the UK now. As well as the third generation dock-based bikeshare systems, fourth generation dockless (and hybrid) systems are starting to appear on various streets around the country, led by Mobike, Ofo and Urbo, three dockless providers and operators.
I’ve put together this simple model to try and understand where systems are most likely to be successful, for which I’m defining as a lot of (legal) journeys made with each bike placed by the operator. To do this, I split the country into its local authorities, apply three scores, and then multiply them together to produce an overall “propensity for bikeshare”, or PFB score (the name is a nod to PCT.bike from Lovelace et al) which can then be ranked.
Many mid-sized cities in the UK have their own local authority, approximately covering the urban area, while Manchester and London are split into multiple LAs. Conversely, some LAs individually cover multiple smaller towns/cities and large rural areas too. Hence, this is a very simply model which is not going to be completely fair to every urban area (Stirling, in particular, gets pushed well down the rankings as its LA includes a huge rural area). Still, for most of Great Britain, it produces results I would anticipate and is a good start towards potentially developing a more sophisticated model. The local authority geography is also appropriate, as local authorities act as the gatekeepers for which access is negotiated (for systems which pay themselves) or as authors of bids for subsidised systems.
Residential and workplace population density – on the assumption that bikeshare systems need a critical mass of people passing by their bikes/hubs/docks, in order to be seen and used sufficiently frequently to justify the costs of equipment/maintenance, on the basis that a major source of income is per-use fees. Both residential and workplaces populations are used, as people have journey opportunities that can be facilited with bikeshare, both from their office (e.g. lunchtime errands, commute to evening socialising or back home) as well as their home location.
Proportion of people who already commute by bicycle, again looking at both workplace location and residential location (bearing in mind that many commute journeys, particularly in London, cross local authority boundaries). While such people are less likely to convert to bikeshare, as they already have a means of cycling, their presence on the streets and associated culture and facilities (e.g. bike coffee shops, marked cycle routes or existing cycle-friendly infrastructure) help normalise the idea that cycling is a possible option for a journey need.
Vandalism rate – theft and criminal damage to bikeshare bikes happens and it is an expensive one for the operators. It can be what causes systems to fail – particularly if they run out of bikes, or broken bikes litter the landscape and turn public opinion against the concept. While the dock-based systems are less vulnerable to this, as the bike is either securely locked to a clamp or in the hands of a paying user, dockless bikes are particularly vulnerable to vandalism, as they are not secured to immoveable objects, and their locks are, unfortunately, relatively easy to break by a determined offender looking for a free bike. The tendencies for vandalism of property that is not yours does vary significantly around Great Britain, while stereotypically it is likely to be more urban areas and areas with a younger and less educated population that is more likely to vandalise, using actual crime data on vandalism allows a more nuanced approach to be taken. Other crime classes (e.g. theft) were also considered for this model, but I think that vandalism rates act as a good proxy for how the local population around a bikeshare system will “care” for it or abuse it.
I have not included the absolute populations of local authorities in the calculation, as in general, with one exception (Isle of Scilly), LAs all have a significant night and/or day population, so they are all large enough to have a self-contained system. Another obvious factor, hilliness, is likely already correlated with proportion of cycling commuters and so is not included. N.I. is excluded from the model for now. Data sources include the latest police crime statistics (with populated-weighted averaging when across multiple LAs), and census data.
Here are the results of the model run. Clicking an underlined title takes you to the main bikeshare for that area – forthcoming systems in brackets.
London boroughs score consistently highly, and even London as a whole, which is interesting as outer London is anecdotally not known as a particularly cycling-friendly place. Considering the size of the city, and the intimidating conditions cyclists often have to put up with in much of the capital, it is great to see it scoring so highly here.
Bikeshare operators are doing their homework and generally, the top end of the list is already well populated with bikeshare systems, in some cases multiple systems are competing.
The top local authorities without a bikeshare system (operating, announced or consulting) are Haringey, a north-London inner-city borough which has been surprisingly quiet until now, and Merton, an affluent outer London borough to the south. Oustide of London, the highest ranking areas without a bikeshare are Portsmouth (small system launching this summer), Gosport (neighbouring), Gloucester, Poole, Worcester and Hull. With the exception of Hull, these are all southern English urban areas, with generally affluent populations and some established cycling culture.

Star Trek: Asterisk "Journey to Babel"
The Enterprise takes on a ship full of delegates for the Babel Conference, including Sarek, Spock's sickly father, who eventually stands accused of murder.
The Enterprise takes orbit over Vulcan to take on the last bunch of ambassadors on their way to the Babel conference and all Bones can say is how uncomfortable his formal uniform is. To be fair, they look all kinds of uncomfortable. But before you know it, the shuttle from Vulcan flies its way into the shuttle bay and a bunch of red shirts line up to greet the Vulcan delegates. When suddenly... A wild Sarek appears! He uses IGNORE SON. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! He uses VULCAN SALUTE. Bones has been stunned!
Meanwhile, all the delegates meet in the officer's lounge for some kind of fancy banquette. There are Andorians, Vulcans, Tellarites, some weird purple aliens and some tiny golden ones who seem to have evolved from Oscars. While they're there, the Tellarites try to goad Sarek into arguing, but he, logically, refuses. So they get into a bit of a tiff, and then suddenly Sarek has motive. Because as soon as the Tellarite leaves... he dies.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. While they're at the banquet, we get a good look into Spock's past. How the children made fun of him for being a half-breed; how he's always tried to impress his father, but could never get past the emotionless ways of the Vulcan. But we also learn about Amanda Grasyon and how she believes that the Vulcan ways are better ways. And since we already know that Spock is a momma's boy, we can be quite sure that his decision to be more Vulcan is on account of both of his parents.
Meanwhile, a random ship attacks! Well, not so much attacks as... trails behind them. Really quickly. And it seems to be picking up some transmissions. And when Kirk asks where the transmissions are coming from, Uhura says "The call is coming from your house!" Well, ok, she doesn't say that, but she might as well. Because the transmissions are coming from the Enterprise. So now that the Tellarite ambassador is dead, there's even more mystery to it.
"And you say it looks like a ghost's face?"
To make matters worse, Sarek seems to be sickly. He had a Vulcan version of a heart attack and he needs a Vulcan transfusion. And Spock is the only one who has a compatible Vulcan blood type. But that doesn't matter 'cause when Kirk is attacked by a random Andorian, he is injured and unable to command, so Spock has to take it from him. In stead of saving his father. Which is complicated, because he's trying to impress his father by not saving his life. Because taking command is the logical choice.
When Kirk wakes up from surgery he decides to take command before being fully healed. In this way he fools Spock into going back and giving his blood to Sarek, meanwhile giving command of the Enterprise to Scotty; well... Planning to give command of the Enterprise to Scotty. Before he can do that, the vessel tailing them ATTACKS! And the Andorian that attacked, escapes temporarily and is revealed to be a fake Andorian. So whatever that ship is, it's definitely in cahoots with the murderer.
The Orions can spy until they're blue in the face.
So, Kirk has this amazing plan to beat the alien ship by powering the Enterprise down completely. In this way, he lures the ship into close range and then blasts them out of space. When the fake Andorian sees that his buddies have been destroyed, he commits suicide by swallowing poison. And then Kirk orders an autopsy and Spock surmises that he and the ship were Orion because they had a lot to gain by the Babel conference going wrong. Oh, but wait... Sarek is still sick and Kirk is still injured. So before an autopsy is to be done, McCoy shuts up all of his patients and gets to work on his job. In peace... and quiet.
There's a lot going on in this episode, but what I like most is the history we get on Spock. This episode goes a long way toward explaining the daddy issues he has which kind of blow up in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. That's just awesome character development right there. | 2019-04-21T08:09:40 | https://blog.thegreenasterisk.com/2012/04/star-trek-asterisk-journey-to-babel.html |

Spin Your Homemade Nut Milks into Anti-inflammatory Gold.
Photo courtesy of Greenhouse Juice Co.
Nothing drives me more crazy than wasting food. Especially wholesome, delicious organic food.. and this whole issue really comes up for me when I make my own juice and nut milks!
It just seems such a shame to throw the leftover pulp and grounds into your green bin or compost so I’m glad to let you know I’ve recently discovered some useful ways to ‘upcycle’ some of this refuse.
1. Blend all of the above in a mason jar and spread lavishly all over your freshly cleansed face. Keep on for at least 5 minutes, or more if you have time.
2. Take off in the shower or with a warm wet wash cloth.
3. Depending on the amount of juice/milk you’ve made, you might even be able to make a larger batch to use on your body too. It’s especially nice on your décolleté area.
4. If you have some leftover you can store it in a jar, and keep in the fridge.
I also add a little maple syrup for a little sweetness. It’s crazy delicious on its own, blended into a smoothie and utterly awesome in chai tea.
I usually make my nut milk with almonds and brazil nuts if I haven’t picked up my weekly supply at Greenhouse Juice but you can also use hemp, cashew, flax or macadamia nuts too. When used as a masque their soft pulpy texture is a great way to infuse your skin with nourishment and moisture.
Tumeric has incredible anti-inflammatory qualities and is super soothing for all skin types.
Ginger is wonderful for your circulation and will help to increase blood flow in your face to revitalize a dull complexion.
Coconut yogurt is a wonderful vegan option to expose your skin to a healthy dose of probiotics which help to balance the bacterial colonies on your face. I enjoy using the Yoso brand but if you don’t have any of hand you can also try plain full fat yogurt as well.
Give it a try and let us know what you think of this DIY anti-inflammatory mask! | 2019-04-23T08:44:31 | https://graydonskincare.ca/blogs/beauty-tips/17979444-spin-your-homemade-nut-milks-into-anti-inflammatory-gold |
Today is Iris' last day of being a one year old.
We celebrated her birthday's eve by putting a candle in her piece of (this) banana bread at breakfast this morning. Which was rather thrilling for her.
Until, that is, Indigo nervously warned her not to get too close to the flame.
And on to happier things, like a new dress for the (almost) birthday girl.
I actually modified the puppet show pattern first for this dress. I used polka dot in ocean by dear stella.
And then there were the buttons. Oh those buttons. I decided to buy extra special ones (here). And being the anti-hoarder that I can to be, I ordered exactly the number I needed. Rather than, you know, ordering a spare button or two.
I had finished the dress and had hand-sewed the buttons on the cuffs. It was midnight and I contemplated settling in and sewing the other seven. I told Dan if I didn't sew them then, one of the kids might accidentally lose one of the buttons.
But that's ridiculous. That's never happened before.
The following day, Jude and I were working on his grammar lesson together on the couch. He was reading to me while I was sewing on the back buttons. I had the buttons in a padded envelope next to me, which he dumped upside down, thinking it was empty.
The buttons fell into the couch. I took off the cushions and realized they had somehow fallen through a hole into the inside of the couch, where the springs are. Let's just say it wasn't pretty and after fishing for them and cutting up my arm on the springs, I still didn't have my buttons.
When Dan came home, he put on leather gloves and dug in, determined to find my missing buttons. And he did find all of them... except for one.
So I resigned myself to ordering more buttons. I waited another two weeks and this time ordered a few to spare.
Love the dress, especially with those yellow buttons...!
Yes, those buttons were worth it!
A pretty dress for a sweet girl! Happy Birthday to her!
Happy birthday newly-two Iris! I love how the candle photos tell a story . . . you captured it perfectly! And your button story made me laugh as I do the exact same thing! My husband always asks, "Why didn't you order a few extra?" I'm still learning . . . :) But you're right - those buttons are just perfect so it was a good call to order more. A beautiful birthday dress indeed!
Oh, happy birthday! I really like the idea of celebrating their birthday eve.
Happy birthday! She is so cute and I'm very familiar with how a moment can change for the dramatic just as you captured it. Your button story made me laugh (sorry) but the dress is a triumph!
Oh the buttons! Of course that has to happen with something simple like buttons. But you won in the end! Take that.
Holy gorgeousness! The dress is perfect, especially with the hard own buttons. Happy Birthday to your littlest - time is a speedster of epic proportions!
Adorable! And so true: no outfit IS complete without safety glasses.
another perfectly gorgeous dress! the buttons are indeed wonderful. happy very late birthday to your little doll! | 2019-04-18T16:32:45 | http://www.stitched-together.com/2013/10/a-modified-puppet-show-dress-for-almost.html |
2 Capture a fair share of that value for themselves.
Unless we are creating value for clients, we have no right to capture value. But creating value is insufficient for success. If we create value for clients but are not successful at capturing a fair share of the value, then we are going to be less profitable than our peers and increasingly compromised in the war for talent.
Many leading professional service firms have a very strong focus on creating value for clients. They invest in getting to know their clients so that they can serve them better. They pull in all the resources needed to address often challenging timelines. Expertise is never compromised. But when it comes to capturing value, few firms regard it as a key competence. Few firms believe their pricing and delivery capability provides them with a competitive advantage.
We can help you build that advantage.
We provide a comprehensive range of pricing and project management services tailored to professional service firms.
We have decades of professional service firm experience and are globally renowned in our field.

Energy analysts and industry insiders are increasingly leaning toward the belief that federal regulators will have to intervene soon to resolve tension over how the next wave of natural gas pipelines is financed in New England and the Northeast.
Driving the conversation in the region is a Houston-based pipeline operator, Spectra Energy Corp., that continues to eye a rumored $500 million expansion of its established network in the six New England states. Spectra acknowledges the region is the next big piece of its strategy after securing a controversial permit to build a gas line into Manhattan. But at the same time, the company says it will not build extensions without first securing long-term contracts.
"We're still a work in progress," Spectra spokeswoman Wendy Olson said of plans to add major spurs to its Algonquin Gas Transmission system. "We have nothing filed yet while we continue negotiations with customers."
Spectra operates about 19,000 miles of natural gas pipelines and is a key supplier to gas-fired power in New England through Algonquin. Its position in the market has been strengthened by steady shale gas development in the Marcellus Shale as well as a gas surge in recent years to 43 percent of the total generation load in New England.
That increasing reliance on gas is expected to keep Spectra climbing given tough air quality requirements in the region, new finds of shale gas and the cheap price of the fuel. But all parties agree that none of that can happen without more pipeline capacity, which by some measures could cut the cost of electricity in half in New England if it gets new infrastructure.
The rub for Spectra is the harder it pushes for long-term contracts and guaranteed returns, the more it leaves itself vulnerable to electric utilities looking north of the border to Canadian hydropower to meet future demand. Expansion of power transmission to access Quebec's vast hydro is just as viable an option as building more pipes, insiders say.
On the other end are the utilities and merchant generators that have been operating in a competitive power market for years. They say Spectra is trying to play by its own rules and has to adapt to a different regional dynamic -- or risk losing to hydro.
"There's no need to rush to the panic button here, which is what Spectra is trying to do," said John Shelk, president of the Electric Power Supply Association, which represents merchant power plants. "You run the risk of everyone in the gas value power chain getting hurt if you drive New England to hydro."
On the sidelines of it all is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has long set a higher rate of return for interstate pipelines as a means to ensure reliability. The emerging Spectra vs. New England power sector dogfight has caught the commission's full attention, with plans next month to hold regional conferences on testy natural gas-electric power coordination problems (EnergyWire, July 16).
Andrew Pusateri, senior utilities analyst at investment company Edward Jones, said both sides have legitimate claims when arguing about who should pay for the new pipes. But he suspects customers will end up footing the bill, not the pipeline companies.
"I would agree ... that FERC would have to step in and be the one that resolves the tension," he said via email. "I think ultimately, when you are talking about the payment for these pipes, it's going to be the customers. Utilities make money by spending money, adding assets into rate base, and then asking for rate increases."
Pusateri also empathizes with the electricity sector, because merchant generators "are in a difficult situation with low natural gas prices and lower power prices," he said. When and if gas prices start to climb, power prices are likely to pick up along with the economy, which "should help a little bit," he said, even if the dynamic is a long time coming.
"FERC realizes there is a need for new transportation systems in that area, and therefore companies participating in it will continue to be rewarded," he said.
Yet Spectra also appears inclined to keep pushing its position. Richard Kruse, the company's vice president of regulatory affairs, recently said that when customers "step up and say they want to sign up for contracts, that's when we'll start working on the infrastructure that they need." To Pusateri, this indicates the bottom line for Kruse is protecting the company's stock price.
"Part of the advantage of owning stocks like [Spectra] is that they do have long-term contracts on their pipelines," he added. "That's why pipeline companies trade at higher multiples, and that's why investors view them as safer. I think that pipelines, from the point of view of the investor, would look at lot less attractive without long-term contracts in place."
Neal Walters, a partner at consulting firm A.T. Kearney Inc., said regardless of how the pricing controversy shakes out, "a smaller number of increasingly larger players" like Spectra are going to drive pipeline investments.
"Given the current price disparity between natural gas and other energy sources, there will continue to be a strong 'customer pull' demand to build out the natural gas supply infrastructure -- in New England and elsewhere," he said.
The Electric Power Supply Association's Shelk says his side is willing to talk, and he hopes the FERC conferences will help resolve the conflict, but he rejected the idea that merchant generators would be able to sign 10-, 15- or 20-year deals.
"They want us to guarantee them revenue that we don't in turn get guaranteed in the marketplace," he said. "Who can blame them? Pick your business -- airlines, newspapers, coffee beans -- any business would love to have a guaranteed revenue stream."
The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America has been surprisingly open to this view, setting up an interesting relationship with Spectra. INGAA CEO Don Santa recently said he understands why customers would hesitate to contract for pipeline service "if they don't have some assurance or confidence that they're going to be able to cover that cost in the price they get for what they're selling."
So, it looks as if FERC will have to step in following its August tour to Boston; St. Louis; Portland, Ore.; and Washington, D.C. But do the parties involved expect much to happen at those conferences?
"It's hard to tell," Shelk said. "I have seen technical conferences that have been great. Other times, everyone states their position and not a whole lot happens."
He added: "The one thing that would be helpful is to have the pipelines say what they are willing to do differently."
Pusateri likewise demurred when asked for predictions, and Spectra refused comment.
"I wish I had a better answer ... on what the resolution would be," Pusateri said.
What is clear is Spectra has bruised some egos on its way to carving out a more influential role. Mike Benard, a former gas leaseholder who fought a two-year legal battle against Spectra on eminent domain issues in Pennsylvania, said the company "has gone into a bunker mentality under current management" and refuses to budge on financing or answer many questions about it.
"They've appointed bush-league communications people who are not comfortable in the public arena of ideas," said Benard, who founded the group Spectra Energy Watch. "The company's behavior under Canadian CEO Gregory Ebel is so adolescent, it is laughable."
Benard notes that in 1989, U.S. EPA fined Spectra $15 million for the discharge of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at 89 sites on a Texas-New Jersey pipeline route, which represents the seventh-highest civil penalty in EPA history. That means environmentalists have begun drumming up stories about Spectra, which had 17 safety violations in 2011, according to Natural Gas Watch.
Benard also pointed out that Spectra acknowledged toxic PCBs remain in its pipeline system in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, so he wants to know whether that problem will be resolved before building more pipes.
"When Spectra Energy expands its pipeline system -- into New England, for example -- do toxic PCBs move from existing pipelines into the new pipelines?" he asked.
One thing is clear: The stakes are high. Charles Ebinger, director of the Energy Security Initiative at the Brookings Institution, said he doesn't know much about pipelines, but he does believe New England converting en masse to natural gas is a crucial development.
"Were New England's energy need able to be met by natural gas rather than by high-cost offshore wind farms, the country's energy security would not only be enhanced, but we would finally put the knife into the ribs of Middle Eastern oil import dependency," he said.
