EL CAJON (2-14-16) — The Grossmont College Griffins took the early lead, but couldn’t hold on to it late as they dropped a 5-3 non-conference result to Santa Ana on Saturday (Feb. 13) at Noel Mickelsen Field.
The two through five batters went a combined 7-for-16, the rest of the Griffins (1-5) combined to go 0-for-16 against the Dons (6-0) pitching staff.
ROBERT BOSTEDT (Granite Hills) led the Green and Gold with three of those hits, while NOAH STROHL (La Jolla) added a pair.
Grossmont got on the board in the first inning. MICHAEL DIFFLEY (Granite Hills) walked to get the ball rolling. Bostedt doubled to right centerfield allowing Diffley to score. After Bostedt scored the second run after back to back wild pitches by Daniel Garcia (W, 2-0). Two batters later, Strohl laced a double to deep centerfield, but was stranded at third after a pair of groundouts.
Santa Ana, who have outscored the Griffins 15-11 in two games this season, got a single tally in the top of the fifth. Tommy Anderson tripled to right centerfield scoring Trevor Steinman who reached on a double to the same location.
Retaliation came moments later when the Diffley walk/Bostedt double combination worked again. The double went down the right field line this time to put a little variety into the festivities, to make it 3-1 Griffins.
DONAVON McCRYSTAL (West Hills) got the no decision as the bullpen failed to keep the lead for him.
ALEC GODOY (L 0-1, Otay Ranch) gave up three runs on only two hits in the two outs that he recorded. ANDREW SCHULTZ (Patrick Henry) did not help matters when he gave up his run, also in the seventh with his three walks. At the end of the seventh the Dons had all they needed as they led 5-3.
The Griffins will try and break their three game losing streak on Tuesday (Feb. 16) when they travel to VictorValley for a 2:00 p.m. first pitch.
R. Bostedt doubled to right center, RBI; M. Diffley scored.
R. Bostedt scored on a wild pitch.
T. Anderson tripled to right center, RBI; T. Steinman scored.

Smartphones are bad OK, Candy Crush comes to Windows 10, Reddit finally tackles harassment, Rdio Select lowers prices, and the trippiest 3D music video you’re ever likely to see.
You’re now on the same level as a goldfish. Actually, in terms of your attention span you’re now inferior to a goldfish. Why? Because of your smartphone How Smartphones Are Ruining Your Life How Smartphones Are Ruining Your Life Your smartphone could be ruining your life, or at least have the capacity to do so in the future.

Read More isn’t giving you the desire to swim around in a bowl of water for hours on end, it is lowering your attention span to the point that goldfish can now focus on one thing for slightly longer than you. At least according to the results of a new study conducted by Microsoft.
Goldfish have an estimated attention span of around nine seconds, but humans manage just eight seconds. There may only be one second in it, but still, goldfish are winning. And as this has dropped from an average of 12 seconds in the year 2000, we can legitimately blame the Internet, smartphones, and social networking for this phenomenon. Probably.
There is an upside to the information age though: our ability to multitask has actually improved. So while your mind is likely wandering away from this paragraph the longer it carries on, at least you’re able to watch TV, listen to a podcast Let's Talk Productivity: 7 Podcasts You Should Listen To For Working Awesomely Let's Talk Productivity: 7 Podcasts You Should Listen To For Working Awesomely Let us talk about productivity -- or let these seven life hackers talk about the little things we can do to work awesomely.

Microsoft has always included free games inside its operating systems, but Candy Crush is a very different proposition than Solitaire.

Reddit is finally tackling harassment, rolling out new practices designed to protect people from feeling threatened. In an effort to evolve the site, Reddit is attempting to “balance free expression of ideas with privacy and safety.” Which is a tough ask when dealing with a community of people as diverse as those populating Reddit.
If you experience this while using Reddit How To Use Reddit Like an Old Pro How To Use Reddit Like an Old Pro There are plenty of online communities which can be found on the Internet - Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and YouTube are easily the most popular and recognizable ones.

Rdio has launched a new paid tier aimed at people who want to listen to music without ads, but who don’t feel the need to pay $10-per-month for Rdio Unlimited. According to BuzzFeed, Rdio Select offers up to 25 songs a day for streaming or downloading, which the service claims is more than enough for most users.
In comparison to other options, $4 is a rather attractive price point.

I came close to not even reading any of this after I saw "Because smartphones". I agree with Doc, that has to be one of the dumbest fads around today and I can not wait to see it finally die off.
A video that purposefully attempts to waste 180 seconds is preaching to me the value of my time? I find that very odd.
Given the reputation of King for using money to bully small developers, and their other reputatuion for shamlessly ripping off other people's IP, I think I'm going to uninstall Candy Crush from whatever device that Microsoft forces it onto. Did they not learn anything from when Apple force-installed an album onto people's devices?
Wow! That fat guy video is brutal. I seriously know heroine addicts in much better shape (both physically and financially) than that. It's a great argument for child abuse!
Let's not forget RSS readers such as Digg Reader it only delivers a picture (if available) and a snippet. I personally skim until something of interest scrolls by (click) then read the article in its entirety. By way of full disclosure I didn't read the complete article I'm currently commenting on... My smartphone went off and I had to... oh look Clan of Candy... You'll not get the best of me Peppermint King!
"you’re able to watch TV, listen to a podcast, and do some household chores all at the same time"
In addition, I read a magazine and have my favorite radio station on. However, how well I retain all the information and how well I perform my chores, is another story.
"Candy Crush Is the New Minesweeper"
My favorite Windows time waster was FreeCell.
What a great way to get the people that disagree with you, banned. This has the potential to turn into a BlockAll-type fiasco.
"Explore This Trippy 3D Music Video"
Reminds me of a Peter Max posters and videos.
As far as Reddit is concerned, it's perfectly fine to disagree with someone...as long as you're not foul-mouthed and abusive or threatening.
" You Probably Won’t Read This Article In Full, Because Smartphones"
I, for one, can't wait to see the "...because [one word]" fad die. Because stupid.
probably more of a reason people don't read more than 8 seconds and the author's original hypothesis is just wrong.

At La Mariposa Montessori, we foster the growth of the whole child by supporting the development of the cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual facets of each unique individual. We nurture the varied capacities of our students by promoting a culture of passionate inquiry, productive engagement, self-regulated time management, and student-led project and event development.
Our children are encouraged to set ambitious personal goals, to engage deeply with the topics that are most alluring, to persevere in the face of uncertainty and frustration, and to present their work with high standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The children's passion for learning is fueled also by generous integration of the arts, athletics, and foreign language, the opportunity for direct daily interaction with the animals of our menagerie, and by our unique ability to situate academic and cultural studies in the context of the extensive natural environs of our campus.
For over a decade, our alumni have come back to thank us for helping them build an incomparable learning platform and inspiring them to make the world a better place. Each year they return seeking ways to give back to our community.
Our Montessori classrooms are organized into multi-age cohorts, in which students have the ability to learn from one another, teach one another, and work with the same teacher long enough to promote deep understanding of individual differences. We offer a rich academic curriculum without the stresses of a standardized delivery timetable, enabling children to satisfy their intellectual appetites and initiate work that is unique to them. Because students stay with the same teacher for several years, lessons and follow-up work can be responsive to the interests and needs of the children.
Being an independent school, we are not bound by the strict chronological groupings and "September only" transitions that are commonplace in U.S. schools. The Montessori method informs a true responsiveness to the development of the individual. Teacher, parents and child are able to make crucial educational decisions based on the unique needs of each child.
We call our teachers "guides", because our work is not so much to tell children what we know as to assist their natural urge to become high functioning members of society. Montessori guides are specially trained to understand the particular developmental tasks and sensitivities of the age group cohorts they work with. New lessons and materials are introduced in ways that promote an appetite for more. Montessori learning environments are prepared to serve the development of deep concentration, self-confidence, initiative and self-regulated social interaction.

EBITDA decreased by 12.5% quarter-on-quarter mainly because of negative crude oil export duty time lag effect, which was partially offset by higher refining margins in Russia. Profit attributable to shareholders was 54.8 bln RUB, down 12.4% from the second quarter of 2016.
In 3Q 2016, the Company net profit was at RUB 26 bln. The decline was primarily driven by lower operating profit.
Exxon Mobil Corporation today announced estimated third quarter 2016 earnings of $2.7 billion, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared with $4.2 billion a year earlier. Results reflect lower refining margins and commodity prices.
Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) reported earnings of $1.3 billion ($0.68 per share – diluted) for third quarter 2016, compared with earnings of $2.0 billion ($1.09 per share – diluted) in the third quarter of 2015. Foreign currency effects increased earnings in the 2016 third quarter by $72 million, compared with an increase of $394 million a year earlier. Sales and other operating revenues in third quarter 2016 were $29 billion, compared to $33 billion in the year-ago period.
BP estimated its share of Rosneft net income for the third quarter to be $120 million5, compared with $246 million for 2Q 2016 and $382 million for 3Q 2015. In July BP received a dividend of $332 million, representing 35% of BP’s share of Rosneft’s 2015 IFRS net income.
Total once again reported solid quarterly results with adjusted net income of $2.1 billion and operating cash flow before working capital changes of $4.5 billion. The Group increased cash flow by 13% compared to the second quarter 2016 despite a 27% reduction in European refining margins and flat Brent prices.
ConocoPhillips’ nine-month 2016 earnings were a net loss of $3.6 billion, or ($2.88) per share, compared with a nine-month 2015 net loss of $1.0 billion, or ($0.80) per share. Nine-month 2016 adjusted earnings were a net loss of $3.0 billion, or ($2.40) per share, compared with a nine-month 2015 adjusted net loss of $0.6 billion, or ($0.50) per share.

The next couple of days will be taking up some time for me as I wrap up my affairs at work and start packing for Chicago. I’ll be attending C2E2 and taking a few days extra on a much-needed vacation with the fella. We’re both REALLY looking forward to trying some of the local beers there. Goose Island, Metropolitan Brewing and Revolution Brewing to name a few. And credit where credit is due, the fella along with a lot of local friends are helping us find stuff along with the excellent beer site Chitown on Tap.
I’m also imagining that it will be every bit like The Untouchables. I sure hope I can get myself a good ‘ol Chicago Typewriter to just shoot bullets in the air with.

Home > Uncategorized > How Will Dennis Schroder Perform As A Leader?
In his fourth season, the 6’2 point guard from Germany, Dennis Schroder has a big task on his hands for the 2016-17 NBA season. With the departure of Al Horford and trading former All-Star Point guard Jeff Teague, Schroder will finally get this first chance to perform as a starter in the NBA. Schroder has the opportunity to showcase his talents as the starter for our Atlanta Hawks.
It’s a opportunity four years in the making, when the Hawks drafted Dennis Schroder with the 17th overall selection in the 2013 NBA Draft, many Hawks fans knew this would be the guy running the show when the opportunity presented for Coach Mike Budenholzer. Since his rookie season, we saw the potential that Schroder possessed and as the years went along, he continued to take a step of progression in the Hawks system.
Schroder never hid the fact he wanted to become the starting point guard of the Atlanta Hawks as soon as possible. “My goal is to start as point guard. If this doesn’t happen, I will look for other opportunities,” Schroder said, and he proved last season that he wanted the opportunity here as soon as possible. After three seasons as Jeff Teague’s backup, the Hawks decided to give Dennis Schroder the opportunity he strived to accomplish as a starter on a NBA roster.
The Atlanta Hawks also lost one of their leaders after nine stellar seasons in a Hawks uniform as Al Horford signed with the Boston Celtics. In the wake of Horford’s departure, here’s an opportunity for Dennis Schroder to take a leadership role on the current Hawks roster and keep the franchise as a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference for years to come in Atlanta.
As the season begins in less than two months, Dennis Schroder should take this opportunity seriously and make an impact on the Hawks. During the off-season, the Hawks acquired a veteran that could help him progress as a starter in the league as Atlanta signed veteran point guard Jarrett Jack. Jack, the former Georgia Tech standout, has experience as a starter and a sixth man in the NBA so he could learn a lot from the veteran guard and would benefit him throughout his career. One of the unique things about Schroder is his involvement in the local communities as well, which is another way to have a major role in becoming a leader for the Hawks.
The Hawks have always lacked a vocal leader in the locker room and personally, I feel that Dennis could be the player we’ve needed to make an impact off the court as well. We need a guy that can provide the energy the Hawks desperately want so we can play at an elite level. After a great 2014-15 season, the Hawks as a whole didn’t have the same mindset or chemistry that earned them the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta didn’t have the talent and focus that we’ve seen in Coach Bud’s system in previous years and after being eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Playoffs for the second year in a row, it was time for the Hawks to shake up the roster a bit. If Schroder can become a impactful leader for the Hawks as the 2016-17 NBA season, the potential for the Hawks to be successful is unlimited and that could result in a nice run during the NBA Playoffs. GO HAWKS!!

This was by far my favorite Halloween costume. Ever. I think everyone I encountered loved it as much, some even more, than me! I was inspired to make the Comic Girl Dress from the MAC makeup POW! Halloween look, which I used as my makeup for the night.
To make the dress, I started off by building a duct tape corset by wrapping the tape, sticky side out, around my waist and chest. Once the corset was complete I slit it down the side and removed it. I fit the comic pages over the duct tape and then secured them with packing tape.
Next I got some cheap fabric and made a simple circle skirt. I spread the skirt out, placed the pages how I wanted them and then used spray adhesive to secure them to the fabric. Once all the pages were secured to the skirt I trimmed off the excess paper from the bottom and waist of the skirt. I then covered the entire skirt in packing tape.
Next I cut the paper into strips and made a belt with the strips and packing tape. I secured the belt to the skirt.
When the time came to get dressed I put on the corset. Closed it with packing tape. Then put on the skirt and attached it to the corset by wrapping packing tape around it.
To finish the look I created the KABOOM! headband with floral wire, and old headband, craft foam paper and letters.

The sun is shining in beautiful St Barth; there is a full moon and our St. Barth Properties Beachside Bash at Dõ Brazil is tonight!
This morning I visited two new amazing villas at the top of Gouverneur and will be letting you know the details once we have the photos. Suffice to say Villa Naturelle 1 and Naturelle 2 are beautiful. Stay tuned.
Villa Naturelle 2's infinity pool is 25 meters (82 feet). Gorgeous!
My husband Steve as well as several of our friends are here for the Bash and for the R St. Barth rhum tasting tomorrow night. So we had Cheeseburgers in Paradise at Le Select after my villa visits.
Rue du Général de Gaulle is almost finished. We are told it will be completed by December 10. It is very classy and I am sure you will enjoy walking on the cobblestones (unless you are wearing high heels that is).

So, if you've been living under a rock (which I totally don't blame you for, I really need to get one of those...) you may not have been aware that Pattern Parcel #6 (all about the ladies!) is currently out in the world and I was completely honoured to have contributed The Bronte Top to the parcel pack.
Not sure what the Perfect Pattern Parcel is? Basically, you get to decide how much you want to pay for a bunch of awesome patterns while supporting independent designers AND contributing to some wonderful charities all at the same time. Selfish sewing just got a whole new meaning.
Independent designers create patterns that are innovative, imaginative and in line with current style trends. Their patterns encompass a broad range of sizes and fabulous “out of the envelope” fit because they're thoroughly tested by real people. Indie designers are approachable, providing support, suggestions, publishing additions to your favourite designs, and hosting interactive sewing events. When we are patrons of indie designers, we are supporting small businesses. We are developing the community around us. We are helping make dreams come true.
We ask you to dedicate part of your purchase to support the mission of Perfect Pattern Parcel. Our mission is to support indie designers, give to charity, and expand awareness to further those two primary goals. PPP funds cover the cost of all hosting and payment processing fees so the designers and charities don't have to. With any dollar we spend as a PPP expense, our goal is to earn that dollar back and then some. Every dollar that isn't used to cover expenses is reallocated to charity.
Donors Choose is an organisation that matches up the needs of teachers and their students for specific projects with willing donors. The funds raised from each Pattern Parcel sale will go to help K-12 students in minimising educational inequality and encourage a community where children have the tools and experiences necessary for an excellent education. From pencils for poetry to microscopes for mitochondria, your support will help address educational inequality and grow generations to come. To date, you've helped us raise over $13,000!
As of posting this there are currently just over 4 days left to purchase your very own Pattern Parcel #6 before it's gone forever. If you're still sitting on the fence, then let me tell you, the amazing-ness of the patterns contained within has meant that this parcel has been the biggest one yet! So, what are you waiting for?
In other news, did you see the new Sewing Pattern Directory is now live? Jane has done such an amazing job. And, oh, there's a wee interview from yours truly featured on the front page, you know, just in case you're interested.

emsCharts, Inc. - Penn Care, Inc.
Request A Free Demo of emsCharts Now!
Penn Care offers the cutting-edge, web-enabled Electronic Patient Care Reporting (ePCR) solution called emsCharts. This software is a comprehensive pre-hospital data collection, analysis, quality assurance and reporting system. Unlike other systems that are capital-intensive and take months to train EMT/Paramedics, this solution requires no capital outlay and EMT/Paramedics are field-ready with 2-4 hours of training. All modules for emsCharts are simple, logical and intuitive to minimize training and optimize speed and accuracy.
While the focus of pre-hospital information management will always be the medical record, emergency care providers and managers have far broader needs. emsCharts provides an agency with a true Intranet – a web site dedicated to improving the information management for an organization.
ACCESS FROM A WEB BROWSERThe emsCharts suite of software products provides a total solution from dispatch through billing at a flat monthly fee with no large additional investment for hardware and software licenses. Additionally, our suite of products enables you to rapidly acquire and disseminate data to external organizations and 3rd party software using a number of integration techniques.
Faxing provides emergency medical personnel with additional options for delivering patient data to hospitals and payers. After transitioning a patient to the hospital, the pre-hospital patient data needs to be delivered to one or multiple recipients. The faxing module enables this data to be transmitted via HIPAA compliant fax. See more.
The Patient Record Achiving module allows a service to get an archive copy of all patient care records for a specified time period. The module provides personel ability to choose a date range they would like charts from and then the module will allow them to download, save, and store the data locally. See more.
The emsCharts Geocoding module assigns GIS coordinates based on address entered, without the need to import information from 3rd-party sources. After coordinates are assigned, spatial analysis can be performed to map calls, determine average distances, and plot densities of certain types of calls, etc. See more.
The Outreach module features the innovative TargetingMatrix® – an integrated charting and marketing tool. The Outreach Module can be used to track referral patterns, document customer interactions, assign decision making status, and much more; all resulting in improved business and increased flight requests. See more.
Once started, the remote downloader service downloads a PCR after it is locked. The downloaded PCR can be printed to a network or local printer, saved as an image, saved as an HTML or PDF file, or saved as an XML representation of the raw data. See more.
The research module allows the creation of research studies and involves entering general data about the study, selecting chart criteria to be met, and entering questions. The researcher then invites Services to participate and will be able to see summaries of the responses for each study. See more.
emsCharts can extract pertinent patient and charting information for use by a billing department or third party billing company. Exports to standard billing software eliminates duplicative data entry. To assist in the billing process, administrators can track specialized data points within the PCR. See more.
emsCharts contains several Application Programming Interfaces (API) in the form of Web Services allowing third party CAD vendors to send data to emsCharts using XML. Data can then be linked and imported to a new or existing PCR. Dispatch data residing on other systems can also be imported via an XML web service. See more.
State data exporting ability is included with the emsCharts system at no additional cost. These exports come in the form of ASCII files, XML documents, and Comma Delimited Files. Some state exports can be configured to export data fields automatically to state regulatory agencies. See more.
Mobile EKG allows the import of vital sign data, wave forms, and events from the monitor into emsCharts Mobile; thus reducing the time for data entry and further streamlining the process. Ask your emsCharts sales representative for model-specific information and interface availability. See more.
The emsCharts online EKG interface allows the import of vital sign data, wave forms, and events from the monitor directly into your patient record on emsCharts.com. Ask your emsCharts sales representative for model-specific information and interface availability. See more.
emsCharts now connects with FirePrograms Software for fire records management. The new interaction between the two products streamlines data entry for Fire Departments that are required to perform EMS incident reporting in addition to fire incident reporting. See more.

At Grace Legacy Capital, our calling is to work with individuals who cherish their families above all else. Families who have sacrificed years, decades, building businesses, building lasting wealth, all for the benefit of those they love. Families who know the difference between being rich and being wealthy.
These families spend their entire lives building security, freedom, and legacy, and their greatest wish is to empower and pass this opportunity and freedom on to their loved ones. Doing so, however, is incredibly challenging and a source of family stress and conflict.
Our role is to be the family’s shepherd throughout this process. We believe in the family above all else. Success to our clients goes far beyond investment results; success is teaching children the value of money, the role of the family business. Success is handing over the reins of leadership to the next generation. Success is establishing a disciplined family bank. Success is bringing extended family into the circle of the family business. Success is defining charitable goals and principles beyond “writing a check”.
We are successful if the family feels empowered to realize the fruits of their labor in cherishing the one finite asset we all share - time.

This article in the Washington Post describes how new students applying for a spot at the University of Chicago MBA program now have to submit a four slide presentation that is used as one of the final criteria for admission. The aim is to encourage creativity as an addition to the essays that are required. In the requirements posted online here, it says that the slides will be printed only, not viewed on a computer, and you can submit a Word document explaining your slides. If they are only going to print the slides, and not allow the applicant to deliver the slides, how much creativity and communications skills are they really going to see? The whole point of PowerPoint is not to be a page design program, but to create visuals that add to a live presentation. I think a better approach would be to allow the applicants to present their slides online or create a video of the presentation - that would really show creativity and communications skills. Tools to do so are readily available and would really allow applicants to be creative. My fear is that all Chicago's MBA program will receive are fancy looking documents that could have easily been done in Word anyways.
Now before you think I've lost my mind and I'm suggesting that we make our slides look like exploding fireworks displays, rest assured that I am still sane. While watching a fireworks display recently at Disneyland with my family, I noticed how you see the firework explode and then a moment or two later you hear the boom. And it caused me to think that a firework is a good analogy to how our PowerPoint slides should work. Our audience should see the visual, take it in, then then hear us talk. If we are talking while the audience is trying to understand the visual, they won't be listening to us and our message will be lost. The point for presenters is to wait until the audience has seen the visual, comprehended it and then start speaking. This is uaually a delay of only a second or two, but it is important in helping our visuals and words make the greatest impact.
PowerPoint Tip: How Many Features Do You Need To Know?
Recently we had a family picture taken on my wife's side of the family. We assembled at her parent's house and a photographer we know, Larry, came to take the picture outside. Everything went exceedingly well - the weather was perfect and smiles abounded. After we were done, we all went back into the house for refreshments.
One of the reasons we have used Larry in the past is his ability to touch up a photo using Photoshop. He and I were talking about this in the house after the photo shoot and I had assumed that he was a Photoshop expert user. Turns out he only really knows the eight or so functions that he needs to make photos look amazing.
As I thought about it later, that makes perfect sense. I teach that you don't need to know every feature of PowerPoint, only the ones to be effective at presenting in your role. That's why most top presenters only use about 20-25% of the features at most. It's also why I'll never be Microsoft certified at PowerPoint. All their tests focus on knowing every esoteric feature, not what you really need to be an effective user. That's why today I am introducing my PowerPoint Effectiveness Assessment.
It is an online assessment that will allow you to measure yourself again 40 best practices and 74 specific skills I have found that real business presenters need to know. Like Larry, you don't need to know every feature, just the ones that will help you do what you need to do in your job.
The big question is which of the hundreds and hundreds of features do you need to know? Now, with this online assessment, you will get a personal report listing which areas you are doing well in and which areas and skills you need to work on. It's like getting a personal road map to becoming an expert PowerPoint presenter.
To take the assessment, check out the details at http://www.ThinkOutsideTheSlide.com/assessment.htm . You'll even get to see a sample of the extensive report that you will receive after completing the questionnaire. If you have a team of colleagues who would benefit from the assessment, such as a team of sales professionals, e-mail me for group rates.
Many large conventions are set up by A/V folks who use a presenter remote system that inevitably causes more problems than it solves. The presenter is usually a big wig and the tech folks assume that the big wig can’t handle more than one button on a remote. So they use a remote that has only one large green button on it. The problem is that the remote is not hooked up to a computer. It signals a light in the A/V booth and when the tech person sees the light go on, they advance the slides. Sounds good in theory, but I have seen it far too often mess up a presenter. In the past, when presenters just put up a whole slide and talked for a few minutes about it, this system was usually OK. But today, presenters use builds on their slides and the system breaks down. The tech person is not watching the light closely enough to keep up with the presenter or gets ahead of the presenter when they think that the light flashed twice. I’ve seen this ruin keynote presentations. If you are presenting in a big venue, insist that you use your own remote hooked up to your own laptop sitting on or in front of the stage so that the signal from the remote will be clear and you will control it.
At the convention I was at this past week I saw two presenters make the same mistake using PowerPoint at the very start of their presentation. In fact, it was even before they began speaking. What mistake did they make? Let me explain. Both presenters used a set of slides to warm up and interest the audience as we were coming in to the room. One had a rotating set of slides showing pictures of her family and the other had a countdown set of slides that had interesting facts and quotes with a little reminder in the corner of how many minutes there were until the start of the program. Good ideas both. But when it came time to start the actual presentation, both dropped out of the introductory set of slides to the PowerPoint program, switched over to their presentation set of slides and then started that show. All while the audience watched. Not so good. They should have linked the two shows so that they could smoothly transition from one to the other without having to drop to the program. Remember that it is always about the experience for your audience. Learn how to use a good idea so that it enhances the experience not detracts from it.
Members of the Think Outside the Slide Members Site have access to a new video that shows the slides I refer to above and shows you how to get clean, simple maps that you can use on your slides without using complex mapping software. If you are not a member yet, you can join at http://members.ThinkOutsideTheSlide.com . You can also learn more about using diagrams instead of text in chapter 6 of "Guide to PowerPoint" available at http://www.ThinkOutsideTheSlide.com/guidetoppt.htm .
Yesterday I watched a fair bit of the telecast of the Concert for Diana from London, England. Inbetween the musical and other performers they showed video segments about Diana. One of the segments focused on photographers who had taken pictures of her, from official royal photographers to fashion photographers. Something one of them said was very interesting.
He commented that Diana really knew how to use the press, especially when it came to helping charities through having herself photographed in a way that helped the cause. One photo they showed was of her walking and she had a T-shirt with the name of the charity on under her jacket. She walked with her hands in her pockets holding the jacket open so that the name of the charity was clear for everyone to see when that photograph was published.
Another story concerned her trip to a leprosy hospital in Southeast Asia. When she came in, she deliberately went over to a man suffering from the disease and shook his hand and spoke with him. The director of the hospital commented to an observer that the one photo of Diana speaking to this man would do more for the cause than his 30 years of work at the clinic.
That's the power of a visual. They could have written letters, grant proposals, met with delegates of many nations, but the visual trumped them all.
So what's the point for business presenters? That visuals have the power to stick in people's minds. People remember images and the emotions they bring forth. In your presentations, look to create and use images that tie your key message to an emotion and you will have a much better chance of your message being remembered and acted upon.

Passing Down Native Knowledge Through Dance.
Indigenous Choreographers at Riverside Project November 2016.
Our curricula are designed for the next generation of scholars, artists, and educators committed to world-wide research in dance, embodied reflection, and meaning-making through movement.
THE Ph.D. PROGRAM IN CRITICAL DANCE STUDIES, established in 1993 (as the Ph.D. in Dance History and Theory), has achieved world-class status as the preeminent site for intellectual inquiry into dance, corporeality, movement, choreography, and performance. The specificity of the program's focus on dance studies—as opposed to performance studies or theater studies—distinguishes it in the field. The training doctoral students receive at UC Riverside prepares them to become the next generation of dance scholars.
THE M.F.A. PROGRAM IN EXPERIMENTAL CHOREOGRAPHY, inaugurated in 2002, is especially designed for practicing artists who desire to return to an institutional context for advanced study. The focus of the program is on the development of experimental choreography that challenges cultural assumptions and is informed by a critical and reflective perspective. M.F.A. students benefit from close interaction with the Ph.D. in Critical Dance Studies program.

A pregnant mother who is unsure of her baby’s father’s identity may have a long and stressful pregnancy. For those mothers who don’t want to wait until after having a child to find out the true father, a paternity test while pregnant may be performed.
A prenatal paternity test is a form of paternity test conducted with samples obtained from the mother during pregnancy. The samples are taken in one of two ways. Amniocentesis is done during the second trimester or between the 14-24 weeks of pregnancy. A doctor uses ultrasound to assist in guiding a needle through the mother's abdominal wall and into the uterus. Amniotic fluid is collected and submitted for testing.
A paternity test is a DNA test used to verify whether a particular man is the biological father of a child. Such testing is done in cases where there is more than one possible father. There are many good reasons for pursuing such a test and specific benefits to each of the parties involved.

Busan is home to a number of excellent tourist sites. Yet its standout attractions must be its beaches, which are famous throughout Korea and draw tens of thousands of vacationers annually to the busy port city.
Busan's beaches are best experienced in spring, autumn, and winter, as between mid-June and the end of August (Korea's official beach season) they can become unpleasantly overcrowded. Busan's main beach is Haeundae, which sports a good amount of fine golden sand and good swimming conditions.
The area surrounding Haeundae Beach is also full of trendy bars and restaurants, a wealth of shopping opportunities, and lots of accommodation options, making it the perfect base for a weekend getaway in Busan. The next beach down the pecking order is Gwangalli, which has a great view of the Gwangan Grand Bridge, and on any given day will play host to a number of informal volleyball games.
Slightly more remote beaches, which might not suffer too much from overcrowding, include Songjeong with its cleaner waters and bigger waves (ideal for surfing) and Dadaepo, located in a river estuary about five miles (8km) from downtown Busan which features shallow waters and outstanding natural scenery.

Despite my being obvious Emperor material in the Marcus Aurelius mold, if, and I stress if, I had been born into Roman slavery then the job of food taster slave would've been the best case scenario for me.
I'm not really cut out for heavy manual labor with my bad back. And I wouldn't last more than two minutes in the Arena as they'd surely hand me that ineffective net and trident combination. Sampling a plate of lark's tongue in aspic, however, would not be a problem. Neither would gulping down a mouthful of Falernum or two.
Sure, you'd run the risk of being poisoned, I guess. But drinking from an actual honest-to-God poisoned chalice? What a way to go. If you're going to die in servitude, the drama of clasping your throat with bulging eyes while dropping a golden goblet which clatters to the marble floor is certainly a spectacular exit for a nobody.
And even if you're lucky enough to never be poisoned, you can always milk the moment of food and drink tasting for all it's worth. A dramatic pause and worried expression after swallowing no doubt provided a great deal of amusement for the slave in question. It's fun to be the center of attention, after all, even if you'll never see the wild woods of Gaul again.
What if the peoples of antiquity were wise to include "grave goods" in the tombs of their loved ones? I'd hate to think of my dearly departed marooned on the Other Side without a bowl of wheat and a jug of wine to sustain them for all eternity. Yet that's distinctly possible. Heaven might be full of mendicant Americans, buried with nothing but a shroud, begging for crumbs from well-provided-for ancient Assyrians and Egyptians. I wonder what the cuneiform for "Buddy can you spare a dime" is?
We don't even bother to offer a few coins for Charon the ferryman these days, either, which seems rather shortsighted and tightfisted considering the consequences. Apparently, those poor souls who cannot pay the boat fare are doomed to wander the desolate shores for one hundred years. So I hope the Lord of the Underworld has built an untolled bridge across the rivers of Hades by now. God knows trying to swim across the Styx and Acheron must be worse than snorkeling through a third world sewer.
This is why my Will contains instructions to bury me with a can of cashew nuts, a chunk of Gouda, three bottles of Margaux, freshly ground coffee, my favorite books, and an army of GI Joe action figures in case I need to defend my grave goods from mournful shades foolish enough to be laid to rest without a picnic basket. Obviously, I will gladly share my Elysian bounty with readers of this blog, although I assume you will all be equipped with your own afterlife goody bags anyway if you've read this post. Cheers!
Jeff Twaddle has rightfully been called a hero for saving that child's life. He richly deserves such public acclaim for his courageous and selfless actions in the face of almost insurmountable odds. But the same Jeff Twaddle also left a really snide two-star review of my rustic cottage Beach Getaway listing, so he's not all that great.
Jeff Twaddle is obviously a Jekyll and Hyde character. On the one hand, he's a daredevil humanitarian willingly risking his own life for the sake of the others. On the other hand, he's a deeply flawed and immensely petty Internet troll who will write downright lies and nonsense to destroy my small vacation rental business.
I was reminded of reading the revelatory and extremely depressing biography of my favorite clown, Mr. Bungle. Here was a red-nosed entertainer who had brought pleasure to millions, especially me, beneath the Big Top. Yet in private he was a heavy drinker, an insatiable polyamorist, a serial bankrupt, and a member of at least three Satanic covens where he would exchange his big circus shoes and frizzy orange wig for cloven hooves and a pair of goat horns. And it was not only his nose that was red when celebrating these unholy black Sabbaths, as he would paint his entire face and body red to play the role of Satan, a dark, unhappy role he coveted more than that of lovable Mr. Bungle it seems.
Still, Satanic play-acting in your spare time is not as bad Jeff Twaddle's loathsome public deception. I tried to "out" the sneaky rat at the ticker tape parade that was held in Twaddle's honor downtown. So what if he ran into a burning building to save some crybaby kid's life? I yelled. He also complains about finding a little bit of moldy grout in the bathroom even though most normal people wouldn't be bothered by it. That's who Jeff Twaddle really is most of the time. He's only Batman once in a blue moon.
Alas, my protestations of Twaddle truth fell on deaf ears. I guess people want their heroes. I can only hope that Jeff Twaddle has been built up only to be knocked down at a future date. He will go on vacation again and leave another bad review on Beach Getaway. Then that will be two of us who know the real Jeff Twaddle. No doubt there are others our there already. Our voices will be heard one day.
Browsers in the esoterica aisles of their local bookstores will be well aware of the surfeit of so-called lost wisdom available in paperback form. The covers of these books are often decorated with illuminated crystal skulls or Stonehenge silhouetted against an especially vivid sunrise, covers so garish and ostentatious that the secret wisdom contained therein is unlikely to be mislaid again.
Which raises the question: if the original possessors of this lost wisdom were so wise how did they manage to lose their wisdom in the first place? I can only imagine they must have been antiquity's equivalent of the proverbial absent-minded professors of our own time. Imagine priests and sages well versed in the arcane knowledge of the Gods but easily distracted by flute-players and dancing maidens.
Imagine you're studying wisdom in the desert, pause for a second to locate the source of a pretty tune floating on the breeze, then return your attention to the wisdom only to discover it's been irretrievably buried by the Sands of Time while you were listening to the music. If only the ancient world had been equipped with mass-market printing presses and a group of mercenary graphic designers instead of papyrus and overworked scribes.

He Didn't Come To Void City. Void City Came to Him!
Up Until Quite Recently, Slaughterface (Originally Known As Stefan) Led A Very Peaceful Existence Up In The Woods, Chilling In His Camper, Listening To NPR, & Communing With Nature. One Night He Went To Bed In The Woods, & The Next Morning, He Awoke In A Bustling Metropolis. Turns Out That The Constant Battles Taking Place In Void City Have Led To A Great Deal Of Expansion & Relocation; Expansion & Relocation Encrouching On This Sasquatch's Natural Environment.
Confused & Out Of His Element, Stefan Went Beserk & Killed 13 & Half People That First Day (One Was A Cyborg). He Then Legally Changed His Name From Stefan To Slaughterface (Leading To The Deaths of 18 More Down At City Hall) & Moved His Camper To A Convenience Store Parking Lot (Killing 3 More). Since Then, This Militant Man-Ape Has Been Striking Anyone He Runs Into On The Streets Of Void City, Holding Them Responsible, As A Resident Of The City. So Be Mindful To Steer Clear Unless You Don't Happen To Mind Being Completely Brutalized By A Bigfoot.
He is also the Founding Member & President Of The Sasquatine Reclamation Front, A Militia Of 32 Other Beleaguered & Displaced Sasquatches. So Far, They Only Have A Newsletter & Couple Of Letter Writing Campaigns To Their Credit. However, Their True Goal Is To Overthrow The City In Order To Reclaim Their Territory.
Slaughterface, for the majority of his life, has been laidback to the point of almost being comatose. In general, he's like a hippy isolationist, so lax that the most of the time, he looks as though he's got his eyes shut (but he's really just a squinter). However, whenever technology or people are brought into the equation, he starts to gradually become more & more uneasy, sweating bullets & trying to practice restraint until he becomes a wild animal & starts ripping things up. Feral & brutal!
He speaks mostly in a series of grunts, huffs, & hums. However, if you can engage him in conversation, he's well read & sophisticated, almost to the point it becomes annoying. Think Cave Guy From Freakazoid.
Signature Move: Gigantopithuplex - After flooring an opponent (preferably facing upward), Slaughterface will grab them by the ankles. He will then swing them into his left shoulder with a smash, then do the same on the right. Then with a final swing, he will swing & wrap the opponent around the back of his neck & fall back onto them like a Samoan Drop.

The time is coming when we will no longer talk about digital banking, but banking in a digital world, like Keith Weed from Unilever said.
Technology is transforming businesses at the speed of light and the most adaptable to change are the ones that stay ahead and, let’s admit it, that survive. Digital transformation of banking, an industry highly receptive to embracing IT breakthroughs, implies an integrated use of modern technologies in all business operations, e.g. through the use of Internet and Mobile Banking.
So, what are the current trends? Have the banks started implementation of their digital banking strategies? Which channels are winning the battle – digital or traditional? How to provide seamless customer experience across different channels? How to attract and engage customers? When are banks planning to fully digitise their processes? And more importantly, when are YOU planning to make this move?
To lend you a hand in the implementation of this inevitable process, Asseco SEE carried out “Digital Transformation Survey in Banking – 2016” among 140 bankers across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo, Slovenia, Serbia and other European countries. Have the valuable information at your hand and download the survey findings now!
Please choose the area(s) of your interest.
Which percentage of transactions proceeds through digital channels as opposed to the traditional ones?

A cute little banner to show your Austin pride!
This item was handmade using cotton thread and is stitched onto unbleached muslin fabric. It is stretched on a 5-inch wooden embroidery hoop that is perfect for hanging right onto the wall. Each piece is backed with cotton fabric.
Each piece is unique so slight variations may occur.
Sarah has always appreciated the art of handmade work, the act of pouring a little bit of yourself into the things you make whether they are for you or for others. Made in Austin, Texas.

Houston senior counsel Steve Selbe, senior counsel Heidi Gumienny and associate Andrew Scott recently obtained affirmances of appeals in the First and Fourteenth District Courts of Appeals in Houston on behalf of the City of Baytown in two separate personal injury cases. In these cases, both of which arose out of police pursuits, the trial court ruled in favor of the City on the grounds that the plaintiffs’ claims of negligence were barred by governmental and official immunity.
The first case, Williams v. Baytown, arose from a collision where two shoplifters crashed into a car stopped at a red light. On appeal, the plaintiffs argued that governmental immunity was waived under the Tort Claims Act because (1) the police officers negligently operated their vehicles in their foiled attempt to “box-in” the suspects’ truck prior to the police pursuit, which maneuver proximately caused the accident; and (2) one officer’s negligent deployment of a spike strip caused plaintiffs injuries. Plaintiffs also argued that the officers failed to act in good faith during the police pursuit. The City responded that governmental immunity barred the negligence claims because the alleged negligent conduct of the police officers did not fall within the Act’s limited waiver of immunity, as the responding officers were not involved in the collision and thus, no operation of a city vehicle caused the plaintiffs injuries. The City further argued that there was no waiver of immunity based on the use of tangible personal property because the plaintiffs failed to adduce any evidence showing that the deployment of a spike strip caused or contributed to plaintiffs’ injuries. The City also argued that the emergency exception of the Act was applicable and the officers conduct was not reckless, that the officers exercised good faith during the pursuit, thereby establishing official immunity as a matter of law.
Affirming the trial court’s ruling in favor of the City, the First Court of Appeals held that the officers vehicles did not actually cause the plaintiffs’ injuries. Further, the court held that there was no evidence of a causal nexus between the spike strip deployment and the plaintiffs’ injuries. Because the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s ruling on the grounds that the plaintiffs failed to establish any waiver of governmental immunity under the Tort Claims Act, it opted not to address if the emergency exception applied or whether the City officials exercised good faith during the pursuit.
The second case, Jackson v. Baytown, also involved a collision which occured during a police pursuit. The City successfully argued that sovereign immunity and official immunity barred the plaintiffs’ negligence claim. On appeal, the plaintiffs presented two issues: (1) whether the City conclusively established that its officer was protected by official immunity due to good faith, and (2) whether sovereign immunity barred the plaintiffs’ claims.
Affirming judgment for the City, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals found that the City conclusively established that its officer acted in good faith during the police pursuit by assessing both the need to respond and the risks of the pursuit in both initiating and maintaining the pursuit. The court held that because the City’s officer was protected from liability based on official immunity, the City was protected from liability based on sovereign immunity.
Both cases involved extensive local media attention when the accidents occurred and then again when the lawsuits were filed. Defending both cases at the district court level and then having those favorable rulings confirmed on appeal resulted in state wide coverage of the successful role Gordon & Rees played in the favorable result for the City.

Two articles from the Martindale.com website explore the Final Rule issued on November 1, 2005 by the EPA. The rule doesn’t differ much from the earlier proposed rule and clarifies what the agency considers to satisfy the "all appropriate inquiries" standard under CERCLA. As the first article by Suzanne C. Lacampagne and Hong N. Huynh comments, "The long-awaited rule provides some clarification with respect to the responsibilities of potential buyers of environmentally contaminated property as well as imposes additional burden on them." The second article by Jean H. McCreary and James S. Kerouac presents some of the same information with a slightly more purchaser-oriented analysis. Registration is free but required for full access to both articles. The text of the final rule can be found here in PDF format.

Applying for a loan in every licensed money lender and getting a quick approval can vary. If the market is doing good and there are no arising financial issues, approval and endorsement of loans could be fast and easy. If the economy is performing better or as expected, money lenders would not have further problems when it comes to granting borrowers loan approval.
If you are planning to apply for a cash loan which you urgently need, be aware of and analyze the condition of the market. Timing is the key. If the market condition is doing great, it could be more advantageous for your part because you can ensure the possibility of getting favourable loan terms and interest rates.
If you are searching for “licensed money lender Singapore” that can give a fast cash loan approval, you must know that they will do a credit and background check before they grant it. If you are a committed payor, they would not have issues approving your loan; but, if your record says otherwise, then approval might take long or worse, they will not accept.
Your credit record will show how good you are a payor based on the agreed terms and conditions, as well as the interest rates. Any moneylender would want to make sure that you can pay your dues and responsibilities duly and on time.
The Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TSDR) framework is a legal framework craft and utilises by the Money Authority of Singapore. The said framework aims to ensure that borrower will not engage in any risky financial commitments by limiting the money they can borrow based on their resources and current financial status.
The Money Authority of Singapore allows a ratio of only 60 percent limit out of your overall income. Several conditions may also apply based on your status; thus, the rate can be higher or lower. Servicing Moneylender Singapore will also assess your TSDR; making sure that you understand it and your limits well is an advantage so you can have a quick cash loan approval.
If you are viewing for a quick cash loan in any licensed money lender Singapore, you may want to ensure all the needed requirements and documents as early as possible. Lending companies appreciate borrowers who have complied and completed all files required for the loan; thus, they can process your application faster.
Making sure that you have all these given documents can heighten the chances of loan approval. The financial institution could easily refer to these files as a proof that you can pay your loan dues as well as the agreed interest rates. Failure to produce needed requirements may cause loan refusal.
Before you commit to paying a loan, be sure of all the relevant information available that will help you have a walkthrough of another financial responsibility. Be aware of the interest rates, and the terms and conditions apply; as well as unique arrangements if there is any.
Be mindful of legitimate money lenders in Singapore and make sure you read their reviews in websites like https://moneylenders-sg.com. Doing so can assure you that they are permitted to operate by the government. You can also be sure that you will not be a victim of any financial scams that can put a dent to your reputation and financial standing.
Loan approval can solely depend on the required documents by the bank. Ensuring all of these files and assuring yourself relevant information can increase the chances of getting a cash loan approval quickly. If you need help in obtaining useful information and you want to have answers to your confusion, you can get advice from bank employees, loan agents, or bank review sites.

The Michigan Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society had nearly 200 boats lined up in the Black River between Seventh and 10th streets. The previous record for an ACBS International Boat Show was 146.
It's unlikely they would ever see so many beautiful powerboats in one place again.
Tim and Colette Carlsen of St. Clair check out two 1959 Chris-Craft Silver Arrows during the Antique and Classic Boat Society International Boat Show on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018.
Claude Simpson came from Almont on Saturday "to look at the old Chris-Crafts.
"I think they're beautiful boats," he said. "I wish I was 20 years old — I'd buy one.
"It's a shame when you get enough money to buy one, you're too old to have one."
Tim and Colette Carlson, of St. Clair, were admiring not one, but twin 1959 Chris-Craft Silver Arrows. The boats have the same styling as passenger cars from the era, with wide tailfins and two-tone paint jobs.
"We just came to see the beautiful boats," Tim Carlsen said.
They were enjoying the diversity of watercraft at the Antique and Classic Boat Society International Boat Show.
"We were just talking about how extraordinary it is," Colette Carlsen said. "There are so many boats here we haven't seen before."
The Impulse gleams during the Antique and Classic Boat Society International Boat Show on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018.
Ken Bessey of Tawas and his family and friends got a ride in the Rum Runner, which started life as a 1949 Hacker-Craft triple cockpit, but was converted to a commuter-style boat in 2005.
"It was great," Bessey said about the experience. "It's a beautiful boat, and it runs great."
Nine-year-old Mason Halsey was enjoying a pop in the stern of the America, a 1961 Matthews cruiser owned by David Maize of Harsens Island.
"It's fun to ride in," Mason said. "It has a loud engine. That's what I like."
Mike Weber, of Marine City, and Ken Radjewski, of Harsens Island, both own antique boats, but they left them at home to come enjoy the Port Huron show.
Radjewski said he owns a 1956 Chris-Craft skiff.
"It was my Dad's, and when my Dad passed away, I took them over and bought the boathouse and the boat," he said. "It's just a hobby."
He said he hadn't seen such a display of antique boats before.
"I've been to them in Florida," Radjewski said. "I've been to them in Algonac, and I've been to them Up North.
"This is the biggest display I've ever seen."
Larry and Glenda Day came from Clarkston to look at the boats.
The Wave Trotter heads out with riders during the Antique and Classic Boat Society International Boat Show on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018.
"We both love the woodworking," Glenda Day said, "and this is an awesome display of that."
Michael and Chris Flood brought two boats up from Clay Township, a 1972 Chris-Craft Commander and a 1937 Hacker-Craft triple cockpit.
"It's incredible," Michael Flood said about the show. "I had no idea it would turn out so good."
Tim Butson, a custom boat builder from Bobcaygeon, Ontario, brought a Muskoka-style boat called Impulse to the show. He said the watercraft is modeled on a gentleman's Gold Cup raceboat from the late 1920s.
"It's a wonderful venue," he said. "We've been to a number of international shows before.
"(But) this one is extremely unique because of the amount of big boats in the show. It's something that is completely different from the normal boat show."

I've been messing around with patch 3.3 a bit lately, and while there is some interesting lore, and some fun scripted dungeon events, after playing through them all once I've noticed one glaring problem.
I'm not even talking about my own personal definition of easy which probably differs from the norm, but about the fact that I can join an entirely random group of players from completely seperate realms with the new PUG dungeon tool and still run downhill through an instance and not only complete it flawlessly but get some of the "achievements" without even trying makes no sense at all.
The whole point of heroic dungons in the first place was to give people something challenging to do outside of raids, but instead of creating another tier of difficulty in heroics they have simply made heroics normal, and normal easy. We're still lacking an actual hard mode for five man instances.
Ideally they would make heroic instances actually challenging even for end game players but as I don't see that happening I have another suggestion.
I'm sure many people wont like the idea, but I propose the permadeath difficulty setting for 5 man dungeons, or even 10 and 25 if you're feeling particularely bold.
It wouldn't simply be if you die, you're gone, but if your entire party wiped... you would be done. No more characters, and instead of simply increasing the quality of loot slightly from each boss or giving you items that, with WoW's ridiculous itemlevel system you would end up replacing in three months, you could gain permanent stat increases, or even an extra talent point? Maybe unbalancing, but it would have to be a reward that truly lasted as otherwise it just wouldn't be worthwhile.
If they wanted to really make things interesting.. release a new dungeon that can only be completed once across all realms, and only on the permadeath setting. The question at that point wouldn't be whether or not WoW has challenging content, but if their web servers can handle the torrential downpour of tear-filled posts.
to make some progress solo, I don't agree with the whole idea of being able to solo every class to the level cap.
yards from the graveyard to the zone in of the instance you died in.

An important lesson for all digital advertisers is: Being viewable does not equal being seen.
Time spent with your ad will increase with size, but only if placed in ”calm” environments.
Where to place Display ads and call-to-actions? People’s visual attention is (still) focuesd in upper left corners.
There is a major See vs Say gap in survey results. Imagine case 1 of a survey outcome where 21% answers yes to remembering an ad, and 71% says they ”saw” the ad. In the second case, 40% answered that they remembered the ad, but only 21% says they saw it.
In case 1 you will undervalue the number of contacts for the ad.
In case 2 you will overvalue the number of contacts for the ad.
If you find that 98% of purchases are 1-click-to-conversion then attribution modeling is not for you.
Credit your Display impressions based in the proximity to website visit. You might experience longer purchase cycles than you think.
In multi-channel funnels report, use conversion segments. For example look at conversion likelihood paths: segment on ”purchasers” separately to be able to draw the right conclusions.
Steer clear of vanity metrics. Conversion rate is one of them! Conversion rate of total visits could just as well be a sign of how much research your customers are doing before completing a purchase. (tips: separate conversion rate and cart abandonment rate).
Move marketing budgets to optimisation budget.
Think product conversion rates, and not total visitor conversion rate. Do you have a visibility issue, an availability issue (out of stock?) or a conversion rate issue (in the payment step)?
Work with propensity segmentation (köpintention, som jag skrev om i måndags!) the customer’s intention and inclination to purchase from you is reflected in their behavior and movements on the website.
Design should not be pretty, it should be useful.
Create an internal competition based on a good, visible and measureable metric.
Have at least one hackathon a year.
Learn all there is to know about Hummingbird.
Harness the 1:9:90. (1% contribute, 9% comment and 90% just observe) by creating email lists based on the three segments. A way of determining who to put in which segment is by doing an email sendout where you encourage recipients to like, comment or contribute. Then you track and collect the email addresses for the respective actions.
Are you stealing share or are you growing the pond? Successful companies are those who don’t just defend their market share towards competition, they embrace innovation and creativity to grow the arena in which they can operate.
There is a very high correlation between traffic acquisition and onsite experience and conversion. Is your organisation built to facilitate exchange and collaboration between the two disciplines?

Trump hugs a US flag at a rally in October.
One of the United States' most important defense alliances may be unraveled or reoriented by President-elect Donald Trump after he takes office, based on a review of his campaign statements, in a shake-up that would affect the country's longtime role as a global police officer.
It's a position that aligns closely with that of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose spokesman said on Thursday that Putin and Trump "set out the same main foreign policy principles, and that is incredible."
"It is phenomenal how close they are to one another when it comes to their conceptual approach to foreign policy," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in comments broadcast by Russian state TV's Channel One.
"And that is probably a good basis for our moderate optimism that they will at least be able to start a dialogue to start to clear out the Augean stables in our bilateral relations," he said.
Peskov's comments came after reports emerged Thursday morning that the Trump campaign had been in contact with the Kremlin before the election.
Trump has questioned the value of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization along the campaign trail. He has postulated that the US should not be obligated to come to the defense of its NATO allies if they "aren't paying their bills."
Notably, President Barack Obama has also criticized some NATO members in the past for not paying their fair share, and many foreign policy experts have argued that member countries should be pressured by the US to contribute more to the organization's operating costs.
An Abrams main battle tank for US troops deployed in the Baltics as part of NATO's Operation Atlantic Resolve.
But none has gone as far as to suggest, as Trump has, that the US disengage from the alliance completely because some of its members are not living up to various financial obligations.
As many experts say, the value of being allied with strategically positioned nations around the world — and being perceived as a global leader — far outweighs the financial losses that the US might incur from picking up some of the slack.
"Sooner or later, the mess created by a disengaged US will become a threat to the US itself, and the US will have to clean it up eventually to a much larger cost," Magnus Petersson, the head of the Centre for Transatlantic Studies at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies, told NBC earlier this year.
Ian Bremmer, president of the political risk firm Eurasia Group, wrote in an article published Wednesday that a disengaged America and weakened NATO would lead to a strengthened Asian bloc capable of providing an alternative to "lower-tier allies" looking for protection.
Between May and July of this year, the Russians heightened their military posture throughout Europe and spurred talk of a renewed intervention in Ukraine.
The country stopped short of provoking an armed NATO response, but it warned Europe that it could find itself in Russia's "crosshairs" if NATO didn't back down from plans to conduct war games in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
US Army soldiers guard as Air Force F-22 Raptor fighters are parked in the military air base in Siauliai, Lithuania.
"The newer members of NATO — and especially the Baltics — have reason to be very concerned," Stephen Biddle, an adjunct senior fellow for defense policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and professor of political science at George Washington University, told Business Insider on Wednesday.
"They're not rich enough or big enough to defend themselves against the Russians, and a Trump administration's willingness to help them is very unclear," he said.
It's more unclear given Trump's stated admiration for Putin, as well as his apparent desire to work more closely with Russia to fight terrorism once he takes office.
From threats about pulling out of NATO to altering the GOP's policy on Ukraine— which has long called for arming Ukrainian soldiers against pro-Russian rebels — Trump's rhetoric has consistently aligned with a narrative that continues to overwhelm the collective Russian psyche: namely, that the US is overly meddlesome and "globalist."
US-Russia relations are now at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War, largely because of two major Russian interventions, in Crimea and in Syria, since 2014.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg congratulated Trump on his election victory in a statement on Wednesday. But he reminded the president-elect of the "solemn" and "unconditioned" commitment all NATO members have to the organization.
"NATO's security guarantee is a treaty commitment," said Stoltenberg, who cautioned over the summer that NATO's security depends on US security, and vice versa.
"All allies have made a solemn commitment to defend each other," he said. 'This is something absolutely unconditioned."

The makers of America’s safest sunscreen and deodorant have also created the best silver oxide ointment, 3rd Rock Antimicrobial RashBlock, the best natural alternative to Neosporin and other triple antibiotic ointments. The water-resistant version allows Rashblock to stay on longer even with rain, sweat, or water (e.g. from swimming) splashing on it.
The healing power of this ointment is legendary. Users rave about its power to heal urinary-tract infections, bites, stings (including jellyfish and scorpions), chafing, cuts, sores, cold sores, sore throats and a variety of irritations caused by exposure to bacteria, microbes, and fungi. Simply apply to the area affected. No need to be afraid of harmful chemicals or antibiotics, RashBlock is pure enough to be edible.
Works for all your needs. Bug bites, scraps or minor rash. Love it!
I purchased this just in case I needed it !
We did. Our daughter suffers (for 3 years) when stressed with an Staphylococcus Aureus infection on and only on her mouth. Her lips swell – like Botox, gone wrong -and oozes yellow. Now when she feels the tingle and the swelling start she applies, and being sticky (lots) it stays and works its magic.
I have very sensitive skin and I had a bad reaction to this product. I broke out in a rash on my hands and they blistered. I gave this to my sister and she loves it.
So far so good! Works as it should.

Rev. Jason Coulter, CRS Board Member, proclaimed these words at our April 12 rally in the rotunda of the Illinois State Capitol where hundreds of faith leaders put their faith into action last Tuesday. We marched, chanted, and prayed outside the Governor’s office demanding a fair budget now! We met with legislators and asked them to: increase job opportunities for people with criminal records; improve police accountability; and enact a fair tax and fair budget that protect the most vulnerable.
While we were in Springfield, HB 4360, which will expand employment opportunities in schools for people with records, passed the House 64-47-01! We have worked for over three years on passing this legislation as part of the Restoring Rights and Opportunities Coalition of Illinois (RROCI). HB 4360 now moves to the Senate and includes the Governor’s recommended language from his amendatory veto of a similar bill last year. We celebrate this important victory.
Want to help keep the momentum going?
Take action now: Email your legislators urging them to support HB 4515 when it comes to the House floor for a vote this week.
This week, the House will vote on another bill to increase job opportunities for people with criminal records in health care facilities, like nursing homes. Under current law, health care facilities cannot hire people with a “disqualifying” criminal record unless they are granted a waiver. Many people with a waiver, however, are still not getting jobs. Today, when an employer verifies an applicant's eligibility for employment, they see a red flag, even when a waiver has been granted. HB 4515 improves our waiver process by making it clear that people who have obtained a waiver can be hired.
Help us continue to speak our truth for justice. Over 500 employment barriers make it challenging for Illinois residents with records to find jobs and provide for their families.
Take action now: Email your legislators urging them to support HB 4515, which will increase health care job opportunities for people with records.
Community Renewal Society is part of the Restoring Rights and Opportunities Coalition of Illinois (RROCI), with Cabrini Green Legal Aid, Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, and Heartland Alliance.

One of the widespread problems any company faces sooner or later is lack of people that are capable to replace talented employees. It’s easy to replace a chair or a computer but it’s often too hard to replace a qualified team member. And the problem is not in employees. It is a manager who should estimate his staff’s virtues and do everything possible to help them develop their talents. What you need is a plan of your staff training. This plan might include different actions varying from delegating special tasks to attending thematic seminars and so on. It takes time but the result is worthy of it. If you pave the way you will be able to replace the skilled employee by worthy man when the time comes.
Create new task group "Staff Training"

I have made quite a big level and several important objects now have to be moved because there was a little problem with the transform, but I can't figure out how to do this without zooming in, selecting each object, zooming out etc. which would take forever now. Are there any effective ways to select or to organise objects in a level? like limiting the selection to a gameobjects children?

“The one thing to remember about an adventure is that if it turns out the way you expect it to, it has not been an adventure at all.” In our March selection, The Map of Lost Memories, Irene Blum embarks upon the journey of a lifetime after a crushing setback threatens to destroy her dream of becoming America’s first female head museum curator. Debut novelist Kim Fay drew on her own experience living in Vietnam and traveling through China and Cambodia to pen this thrilling tale of adventure, obsession, history, and self-discovery, set against the vivid backdrop of southeast Asia in 1925.
1. Before reading The Map of Lost Memories, how extensive was your knowledge of Vietnamese and Cambodian history? Did it go beyond a basic awareness of the Vietnam War or Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge? As Irene travels from Shanghai to Saigon to Cambodia, what aspects of the places and cultures that she encounters intrigued or surprised you the most?
2. When she sets out upon her quest, Irene harbors no doubt about her claim to the scrolls. When, if ever, should the desire to protect an artifact’s historical or artistic significance be trumped by the native culture’s claim on its own heritage? And as opinions and laws about trafficking in relics and artwork evolve, what arguments can be made for and against returning objects like the Elgin Marbles to their lands of origin?
3. Irene ventures to Cambodia while it is under French control. The colonists wield considerable authority over an impoverished native population that is descended from a wealthy, powerful, culturally and technically advanced civilization. What parallels can be drawn between southeast Asia’s colonization and that of the Americas?
4. Irene and Simone spend most of the novel locked in conflict. Their obsession with the scrolls is both a common bond and a source of competition and division between them. How does their relationship evolve over the course of the novel? Would their quest have been different if they had been honest with each other about their motivations from the beginning?
5. Fay describes Irene Blum as “a grown-up version of Nancy Drew, albeit a version without moral boundaries.” What was your response to Irene’s character? Did your impression of her change as the novel progressed? In this particular story, would she have been a more or less effective protagonist if she was a man?
6. Like most of the characters in The Map of Lost Memories, Henry Simms is a man with admirable qualities, but he’s no saint. He loves Irene, yet isn’t above manipulating her for his own agenda. Is he a sympathetic character? And if he was young and healthy enough to search out the scrolls for himself, would he have made the same choice at the temple that Irene did?
7. The physical setting of the novel—from the cosmopolitan streets of Shanghai to the oppressive heat of French-colonial Saigon to the raw wilderness of the Cambodian jungle—is vivid enough to serve as supporting character in its own right. How does Irene, a foreigner, react to the setting differently than Simone and Marc do?

Apple & Pear Australia Ltd: The apple and pear industry has once again demonstrated its commitment to food safety and minimising residues with the latest National Residue Survey results showing a 98 per cent compliance level in apples and pears tested in 2016-2017.
Daily Mail: Doing the family shop, you’ll probably feel virtuous as you fill up your trolley with healthy fruit and vegetables.
But worrying new research reveals that these wholesome foods have been treated with a complex mixture of pesticides to get them to your table in peak condition — and there may even be some residues of these chemicals left on the produce you buy.
Australian National Security: Terrorists can use chemicals found in everyday products to make powerful homemade explosives and toxic weapons. Approximately 40,000 chemicals are approved for use in Australia.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand: Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) today called for submissions on a proposal to create an “all other foods” maximum residue limit for some agricultural chemicals. FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said maximum residue limits are currently set for chemicals and specific commodities. “This has created issues for enforcement agencies and producers because low levels of chemicals permitted on one food may be accidentally found on other foods not listed in the Code,” Mr McCutcheon said.
Fresh Fruit Portal: A U.S. nonprofit representing farmers has criticized the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) latest "Dirty Dozen" list, which ranks produce items based on pesticide residues and now claims strawberries are the "most contaminated". In a release, the Alliance for Food and Farming (AFF) highlighted the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Pesticide Data Program said pesticides did not pose a safety concern for U.S. food.

Peel the limes, cutting the rind/zest into long thin strips.
Clean the white pith off the limes.
Cut limes in half, squeeze the juice into a container and put it to one side.
Mash or roughly chop the lime halves and place them in a cheesecloth bag.
Place the lime zest, cheesecloth bag, water and juice in a large pan and leave to soak over night.
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the zest is soft.
Add the sugar and stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved.
Boil, stirring frequently, until the mix reaches setting point.
Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal well.

When it comes to retaining existing customers and getting new customers, there are three basic options.
Unbeatable prices. Think Wal-Mart here. Their customer service is terrible but they’re prices are amazing, so people are willing to put up with poor service. Yes, they hate going to Wal-Mart, but they’ll put up with it for the low prices.
World class products. Think Bose or Beats here. Their products are priced high due to the quality. They attract customers who want to use top-notch audio products.
Remarkable customer service. If you can’t win on price or quality, customer service is your best bet. Given the crazy explosion of choices these days, customers care more than ever about customer service. They don’t want to wade through endless choices, they want to go to someone they trust.
In this post, we’re going to give you 10 amazing ways to blow the socks off your existing customers and get new customers through customer service. These aren’t complicated or expensive, but they demonstrate a passion for customers.
Many companies are known for only caring about the bottom line. For doing whatever it takes to make a sale, no matter what happens to the customer. For being big, heartless, soulless corporations who are willing to step on the necks of their own grandmothers if it means making another dollar. Okay, that last one may have been a bit extreme, but you get the point.
We’ve all had experiences like this. You call their help line and spend 20 minutes trying to connect to a human being, only to have your problem not solved. It’s maddening. You feel like a tiny insect beating your hands against a faceless corporation.
Handwritten notes are a fantastic way to show that there are actually people behind your company. That you care about the customers as people, rather than just a bottom line. Notes also show that you took the time to write something by hand, which is rare in our texting, email, status update world.
I believe that we’re selling an experience. In my efforts to have my customers feel special, with every order, we include a handwritten note inside a pink envelope with a foil stamped ‘Thank you’ on it. We also send a ‘Just because’ card at the beginning of each year in my trademark calligraphy penmanship.
Is there anything we love more than freebies? Sure, world peace and Christmas are great, but when it comes down to it, give us freebies every time. There’s something magical about them. They have a powerful psychological effect on us, drawing us to people and creating a sense of loyalty.
Giving out freebies allows you to create deep loyalty in your existing customers as well as attracting new customers. Plus, it’s an insanely cheap online marketing tool. What is the first thing most people do when they get a gift? Show it off on social media? An argument could be made that you’ll get more bang for your buck by giving out freebies than advertising.
This is an extreme example, but TD Ameritrade actually created 4 “Automated Thanking Machines” that looked like regular ATM’s but instead actually gave customers $20. As you can imagine, the response was ecstatic joy. Oh, and their YouTube video racked up over 24 million views. Freebies are great marketing.
Unfortunately, most of our interactions with customer service happen when there are problems. Our cell phone catches fire in our pants, ruining our expensive stonewash jeans and our means of communication, so we reach out to customer service for help.
And while there’s nothing wrong with this, speaking to customers proactively, before problems arise, can go a long way in creating customer loyalty. This doesn’t have to be anything complicated. Send an email checking in, make a phone call, interact on social media. Nothing crazy, but it lets them know you care.
4. Interact On Social Media…and Then Do Something!
Every company should be on social media, if only for the purpose of getting feedback from customers. But the companies who make a point of interacting with their customers regularly and then actually acting on those details are the ones who make a huge impact.
Again, you don’t need to go crazy here. Simply monitor social media sites for anyone talking about your brand. Look for positives, complaints, discussions, really anything. Then, when appropriate, jump in. Offer solutions for people experiencing problems. Give away things to people. Offer digital discount codes. It shows your customers that, unlike the behemoth companies, you actually listen.
They quickly responded back, offering him credit for his non-working TV over Twitter. Shortly after, he posted this on Twitter.
Too often, companies only address problems when they become huge. Think Samsung and the exploding Note 7 here. They only set about fixing the problem when it became too big to ignore and videos were popping up everywhere of cars on fire. Seriously, that’s how bad it got.
Companies that focus on fixing even the smallest problems can see massive jumps in customer loyalty. It’s not that complicated. If your customers see you working hard on even tiny issues, they know you really care. They know that it’s not just about good PR or making a few extra dollars.
…what it’s like to live in Las Vegas!
That’s right. The conversation was about a problem entirely unrelated to shoes. And yet’s it’s this insane level of dedication that makes the company so popular.
Generosity deeply resonates with customers. It demonstrates that, ultimately, you care about making things right and making the customer happy. Stingy companies come across as money-grubbing, Scrooges, and get a reputation as such. Generous companies, on the other hand, win a well-deserved reputation of caring about the things that matter most.
L.L. Bean has made a name for themselves with their incredible generosity. They allow returns on all products with no restrictions. If it’s an L.L. Bean product and you’re not happy with it, they’ll take it back in exchange for money or store credit.
In 2013, a woman returned a sweater she had purchased 10 years prior, doubting that the company would accept such a ludicrous return.
They did. No questions asked.
Almost all discounts have expiration dates. If they don’t, they’re not a discount, they’re simply the regular sale price. I know, deep stuff here. Issues tend to arise with customers when they want to leverage a discount after it has expired.
While most companies see this as a problem, you can use it as an opportunity to blow the socks off your customers.
Get really creative with giving discounts. If a coupon has expired, make up a fun reason to apply a discount.
Remember, people don’t expect this at all. They expect you to be rude and petty, and when they experience something else, it gets their attention.
There are countless stories of massive companies stepping on little guys who need a break. The insurance company who refuses to cover a medicine because of a typo in the submission form, and other heartless tales of corporate greed. These experiences destroy your faith in humanity and tempt you to become a monk in the wilderness.
By working with customers who are struggling, you show both heart and humanity. You demonstrate that compassion can be a business value and that people are more important than cash. And believe it or not, these kinds of interactions tend to be powerful marketing tools. People like to spread stories of kindness.
This photo showed up on Reddit and went viral soon after. It’s not hard to see why. Kindness speaks volumes.
Most companies are notoriously stiff and robotic in their customer interactions. They use automated customer help lines, for crying out loud! You spend 20 minutes pressing random buttons trying to talk to a real, live person. When you do encounter a human, it’s obvious that they’re following a script.
Humor is a powerful customer service tool. Yes, there will be the occasional grump who wants to set the world on fire, but most people resonate with the occasional (or frequent) joke. When interacting with customers, don’t be afraid to make a humorous quip or three. It can quickly defuse a tense situation and also gives joy to your customers.
A central tenet of business is that everyone likes to get things. This isn’t profound marketing wisdom, yet it’s amazing how often this is ignored by businesses. They obsess about giving the bare minimum and not a touch more.
A simple way to connect with customers is to throw a little bit extra into orders. It doesn’t need to be something expensive that’s going to kill your profit margin. Even something small, yet extra, goes a long way. If you sell lights, include a couple extra bulbs in case one breaks. If you sell beef jerky, include a sample of another flavor. Every order becomes a gift for your customers!
Someone from JetBlue came over and made an announcement to the people in line. He was giving away free tickets to anywhere JetBlue flies. The first free tickets would go to anyone whose birthday is today. It was nobody’s birthday. Then he moved on to trivia: free tickets for anyone who knows where JetBlue’s original destinations were. I didn’t hear the answer, because at this point I made it through the line and was headed towards the gate, but I heard applause as I walked away. This was applause from people who had to get to the airport two hours early on a Sunday morning because of airline computer glitches.
You may not be a big company who can compete on price or a craftsman company who competes on quality. But you can always outperform your competitors when it comes to customer service.
You can be a hugely successful company by looking for opportunities to help your customers.

True Tex-Mex Cuisine’s Long Adios—Texas Monthly: This piece tracing the ins and outs of the Tex-Mex restaurant scene (mostly in Houston) over the past few decades is essentially my life’s story in restaurants. The longer I spend away, the more likely I am to want to head to Ninfa’s on Navigation or Molina’s or El Real first (or Matt’s El Rancho in Austin) than I am to want Pico’s or Hugo’s or Sazón. One thing I worry about when people talk about Tex-Mex, and it’s present in this essay, is the conflation of the food culture of Tex-Mex restaurants initially designed to serve a primarily Anglo clientele with the “Tex-Mex food” generally. There’s good reason for that as the genrification of that menu happened in restaurants, but it’s important also to remember the Tex-Mex foodways that predate this Anglicized menu (call them “Tejano” foodways?). They are related, but distinct. Robb Walsh’s Tex-Mex Cookbook is the best example I know of letting them share the spotlight.
Just five bucks a month: Gina Trapani’s writeup of the exhausting process of having to write and rewrite the billing platform for ThinkUp seven times in the first year and a half or so of the product’s life was reminiscent of my own experience (on a smaller scale) with The Appendix and our billing and subscription needs. This is an essential story to keep in mind for anyone considering writing a service that involves recurring billing. I’m going to keep it in front of mind as I work on what comes next in the coming months.
I picked this up as an easy read having seen Glenn Fleishman recommend it on Twitter a few weeks ago. Having independently discovered that reality is only a computer simulation to which they have access to the main configuration repository, a collection of geeks find they’ve all had the idea to time travel to medieval England and pose as magicians with their new powers. For my tastes, the light humor element could have been less prominent in favor working through the consequences of the central conceit in more detail, but it was fun, easy, and great for picking up at odd hours with a newborn in the house. This is also the first book I’ve bought on one of Amazon’s inhouse imprints, and I was impressed by the presentation. I imagine I’ll eventually pick up the next one in the Magic 2.0 series.
These ten short provocations about living online and in a digital age cover ethics and etiquette in roughly equal parts all to set up the core ‘command’ that to participate in this world with purpose one must understand the perspective gained from understanding programming. I find this conclusion—that everyone could benefit from the perspective gained from relatively short exposure to programming—a great corrective to the “Everyone must code!” evangelism. Given that the book was published in 2011, however, I wonder how much of just that brand of evangelism comes from a misunderstanding of the subtleties of Rushkoff’s argument. Regardless, the collection of questions about digital age ethics put me in a good frame of mind for approaching some of the post-dissertation projects I’ve been working on recently.

Many an administrative law article ends with a simple and appealing recommendation: “just add accountability!” Accountability, along with institutional expertise and democratic legitimacy, is one of the key yardsticks that frames evaluations of the legal rules and institutions of the regulatory state. Why might judicial deference to agency interpretations of statutes be desirable? Because agencies are more politically accountable than courts. Why might privatization be worrisome? Because corporations are less accountable than agencies. Accountability, like motherhood and apple pie, is something we can all safely get behind.
Or is it? In Over-Accountability, Jacob Gersen and Matthew Stephenson look at the downsides of augmenting the accountability of political institutions. Lots of ways exist to add accountability to governmental decision-making: one could have more elections, or concentrate power in a “unitary” executive, or reduce the power of politically unaccountable Article III courts. As the authors point out, these and other such accountability-enhancing moves might actually have a surprising and perverse consequence: they might exacerbate bad behavior by the government.
The basic problem, as Professors Gersen and Stephenson explain it, is a consequence of a simple principal-agent dynamic. Agents (say, the Mayor of New York or the head of the FDA) want to look like good agents to their principals (say, the citizens of New York or the President), because the agents want the principals to retain them as their agents in the future. Under certain conditions, the agent’s desire to appear good may cause the agent to adopt a course of action that will convince the principal that it is a good agent, even if the agent knows that that course of action is not actually in the principal’s best interest. Put another way, an agent will sometimes have the perverse incentive to make decisions that it knows to be contrary to the principal’s best interests in order to avoid resembling a bad agent; because the principal is relatively less informed than the agent, the principal can’t tell the difference.
The authors explain that this basic overaccountability dynamic can manifest in a variety of ways. To signal their competence, agents can pander (take action that “cater[s] excessively” to the public); they can posture (take bold action to look good to the public); or they can be persistent (act stubbornly, so that the public doesn’t perceive them to have made a mistake). To signal their lack of capture, agents can act in way that is populist (in a way that unduly burdens a minority or interest group); conversely, to signal their lack of bias, agents can act in way that is politically correct (in way that markedly illustrates an absence of animus towards some given group). In a lively and clear fashion, the article marries its analysis of formal models of such behavior with concrete examinations of how these varieties of overaccountability might emerge in different legal contexts, from debates over affirmative action to the sentencing behavior of elected state court judges.
This is one of the great rewards of this paper—it forces one to see what was once familiar in an entirely new way. If you are someone who has made use of the “workhorse concept” (p.186) of accountability (as I have done), Professors Gersen and Stephenson will make you want to look that “workhorse” in the mouth.

If you’ve developed a painful, irritating bump on or underneath your eyelid, it’s likely that you have a stye. Most styes go away by themselves, so all you need to do is follow some basic home treatments to help it heal faster. If your stye doesn’t go away after 10-14 days, or displays any symptoms of infection, be sure to see an eye doctor right away.
Styes form when dead skin, dirt, or oil block one of the glands around your eyelashes, allowing bacteria to grow inside it. Styes can be a common result of sharing makeup with someone else, or of touching your eyes with unwashed hands. If your stye is not painful, it is most likely a chalazion, which is also non-threatening, but will take longer to heal. Most styes should go away within 7-10 days.
When Should I See My Optometrist For a Stye?
Do not pop, squeeze, or touch a stye.It might seem tempting, but squeezing will release pus and may spread the infection. If your stye is inside your eyelid, your optometrist can help drain it safely.
Use a warm compress. This will help dissolve the pus and oil so the stye can drain.
If your stye needs to be professionally drained, or is displaying symptoms of infection, be sure to see a professional Raleigh optometry clinic for treatment. Schedule an appointment with Raleigh Eye Center today.

Last week I mentioned that the wave-like nature of electrons can beautifully explain the structure of the hydrogen atom; this week, we’re going to explore this idea. Now you may be wondering, “what does this have to do with time travel?” but stick with me; as it turns out, time travel machines and hydrogen nuclei probably have a lot in common!
To make it work, however, Bohr had to include an ad-hoc assumption — that the electron couldn’t orbit at any distance it wanted, but only at “acceptable” distances (which he determined experimentally). Unfortunately, he had no idea why this was the case; he couldn’t explain why the electron should suffer any such limitation. Using what we’ve discussed over the past two weeks — about waves, electrons, and wave-particle duality — we can.
In reality, the situation is more complex than this — mostly because hydrogen atoms are three dimensional, not two. However, the basic idea is correct: electrons are unable to go anywhere that they would destructively interfere with themselves. The same thought process has been applied to protons, entire atoms, and even molecules, so there’s nothing to suggest that this basic idea can’t be applied to larger collections of matter. In general, physical objects should not be able to go anywhere or do anything that causes destructive self-interference.
Now, at this point you may be able to see where I am headed — at least partially. Even still, there’s one more set of ideas that I’d like to introduce before I bring everything together. Therefore, next week we’re going to build a basic time machine using wormholes through space time, as well as discuss some assumptions and limiting cases. See you then!

In this webinar, Maria and Rob explored mega-trends in the education industry, looking at what’s causing disruption, and how industries like ours are increasingly being ‘disaggregated’. Below we summarise some of the ideas introduced in a wide-ranging discussion.
Rob Brown, Group Manager for eMarketing at Navitas, kicks things off by talking about how many industries have been disrupted in recent years: music, movies, taxis, hotels, news and especially the knowledge and information industries. As an industry which has been in the business of ‘selling knowledge’, to put it crudely, education is already being disrupted across multiple fronts.
How much longer will education keep trying to charge $30,000 for a degree?
Mobile: anyone with a smartphone has information/knowledge in their pocket now. For the younger generation, the notion of going somewhere specific to find information is absurd, especially when you can choose to watch a lecture on the bus on the way to work!
Bandwidth: we couldn’t have done some of the things we do in the classroom even 10 years ago. In South Korea you can download a movie in a matter of seconds – we’re seeing a paradigm shift in terms of what you’ll be able to do and disseminate online.
Data: LinkedIn now has university pages helping students choose the best place to study. Students will be looking for a data-driven approach to decide where to study; it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be asking Siri about the top 10 places to study audio engineering in Brisbane and you’ll get a list straight to your phone.
Music: we used to have to buy the whole album when all you wanted was 2 songs, right? Then iTunes launched and album sales went through the floor. In turn, iTunes is being disrupted by Pandora and Spotify; people don’t even want to pay 99c a track these days, and are happy to have advertising interrupt their listening so they can listen to music for free.
News: The ‘rivers of gold’ (classified ads) have dried up in the news industry; in 3-5 years, some are saying that newspapers will only have weekend editions in print – the money just isn’t there in online news.
Movies: Netflix not only disrupted the movie studios but is now producing content – House of Cards and others are becoming hugely popular series and now Amazon is getting into the production business too. Who owns the right to produce content? Anybody does, today.
Hotels and taxis have no answer to what Uber and Airbnb are doing; these companies own no real estate or cars – they’re just leveraging surplus requirements. This is particularly frightening for bricks-and-mortar universities who may be challenged by a competitor who doesn’t need classrooms or a physical teacher presence.
Maria’s section begins with a quaint and complex visual of a ‘three-train chime’ (shown here). Her point is that the pieces work together to make the clock chime and give an accurate time, and the same goes for industries; every part of the system works together to produce an outcome. These sort of clocks, however, exist less and less, and we don’t need so many different component parts to get the accurate time.
This is what disaggregation is all about: looking at the system of parts that combine to make a value or an outcome.
Maria then speaks about 3 key enablers to disruption: new technologies, new business models and new value chains. Rob’s industry disrupters above don’t sell anything as such, but take a cut of something; there are new value chains, and Maria talks through a few examples of how this is happening. Take life insurance, for example, where certain things have to happen in certain sequences to deliver the product to the customer. Here they include activities like product management, sales & distribution, underwriting & risk management, claims management and so on. These are all bundled inside a platform called a company/organisation, which in turn are all bundled together in an industry.
To another example: the finance industry. Here the value chain includes items like personal finances, lending, payments and so on, but now there are smaller, start-up finance companies doing activities in one or more of these areas – and eating the banks for lunch! Just like the 12-track album with just 2 tracks we wanted, customers are starting to pick and choose which parts they’ll buy, and discarding the others.
Think of education: people don’t necessarily want a whole degree, either.
And so to the education industry, where the value chain includes activities like student recruitment, tutoring & learning support, teacher recruitment & management, content & course design, credentialing and more. Lots of new companies are doing things faster and better than the big industry players in each of these areas. We’re already partnering with some, like SEEK Learning (student recruitment) and Smarthinking (tutoring service, 24/7) and we can embed these into how we do things. For the moment, we are the platform.

Do you want to take pics and videos with your drone?
I remember, just a few years ago when the majority of professional photographers were skeptical of the newly introduced idea of mixing drones with photography. They thought of it as an amateur approach.
Well, not anymore! The number of drone enthusiasts has skyrocketed in the past few years. People love them and for a good reason.
Photographers can now capture images from ideal altitudes all thanks to these eagle-eyed aircraft. Piloting drones aren’t too difficult either but taking a good shot takes practice.
In this all in one guide, I am going to talk about basics first and then share my professional tips and techniques. I will also share some great locations, ideal height, and last but not least my view on the photography business.
The first thing you should know is that flying a drone is quite easy. I know the first time flying one can make you say “I am never going to get good at this.” Trust me, every task seems impossible at the first try!
I would advise you to get some piloting practice before you start taking images or recording videos. Give a few days to learn how to move your drone around.
Let’s talk about the basic controls of a drone, shall we?
You control your drone with a transmitting device which is called a controller. Every controller has two joysticks (left and right) through which you steer your drone.
The left joystick is used for controlling altitude and also for moving left and right. The right joystick is used for going forward and backward.
There are two ways of keeping an eye on your drone. You can just simply watch it by following it around, but this isn’t ideal, now is it? The ideal way is to see what your drone is seeing through your mobile screen.
This is done through software that you can install on your phone. Most drone companies provide their own software for these purposes. Companies like DJI and Parrot have a user-friendly interface, and that’s why I recommend beginners to buy their first drone from them.
You should watch some tutorials on how to keep an eye on your drone before you start flying.
One thing that may surprise you is how easy it is to take still images. All you have to do is move your device to the ideal position and take the shot. It really is that simple.
An amateur mistake that beginners keep on making is flying in bad weather. Many people damage their drones or worse lose them due to this very reason. So make sure you fly in clear weather.
You should also watch out for battery life. Always bring your drone back when the battery gets low. However, this shouldn’t be a problem if you’re buying one from a major brand like DJI, Parrot, or Yuneec as all of their drones come with a return-to-home feature.
Basically, the return-to-home feature automatically brings your drone back to the starting location when the battery gets low.
These were the essential basics that you should know.
Mastering the art of capturing shots from the right angle takes a ton of practice. You have to learn important movements to develop your skills in this area.
My first tip aims at helping you achieve this very goal.
Once you have learned the basic movements, it is time to take it up a notch!
One thing to notice here is that there isn’t a recommended size for the path you follow.
Ever wondered why your drone sometimes captures a blurry image, even when it is standing still?
This problem occurs due to unbalanced propellers. Every drone has light propellers that assist in lifting it up towards the sky.
So even a slight unbalance in weight distribution disturbs the stability of your drone.
You most likely wouldn’t notice this problem on your own because it is hard to notice the difference.
One sign to look out for is if your drone starts turning slowly.
Fixing the propeller doesn’t require any technical skills. Watch a tutorial or read a guide and you’ll be good to go.
Always plan well for a photography session. Take extra equipment including batteries, propellers, and if you can, take an extra motor as well!
Trust me, these extra components will come in handy.
For example, imagine you’re out in the wild to take that perfect shot you’ve always wanted. You check your drone, and it still has 15 minutes of battery left.
You stroll around for a while with the melody of the nature soothing your soul.
Eventually, you find an ideal location and set your gear up. You have everything in place, and the photo of your dreams is just one click away.
Your drone just died because you forgot to charge the damned thing!
I can feel the pain in my guts just imagining a situation like that. So don’t be that person and always make sure to prepare before you head out.
The key to any great venture is to plan ahead.
One mistake that amateur photographers keep on making is they only take a single shot.
If you’re trying to capture an image, whether it be of a rocky mountain, a blue sea, or a green forest — make sure you take several shots.
You can just delete the bad ones and save the ones you like. There’s no harm in capturing several shots of a single area so take as many as you can.
Why should you use primes lenses? Because they’re super efficient when you’re flying against wind pressure.
Prime lenses have a wide angle and are small in size. This makes for the perfect combination.
When the wind blows and acts to hinder your drone, that’s when these lenses will prevent your camera from shaking.
Installing apps for photography can really improve your creativity and productivity.
My personal favorite is Google Maps because it’s free and very useful. It is helpful for getting an idea of what the area looks like from above.
It’s something you should do before you begin your photography session.
● Airmap, some of its features are geo-fencing, location-based flight, and flight logging.
● Hover, some features included are flight logs, a no-fly zone map, weather data, and flight readiness indicator.
● Kittyhawk, it has some great features like weather forecast, flight conditions, telemetry data, and checklists.
I’ve taken a lot of trips myself, and without a doubt, they have been worth the trouble. In fact, I’ve had some of my best photography sessions during my trips.
So whenever you’re planning one, make sure you take your drone along with you.
Haiku Stairs aka Stairway to Heaven is situated in Hawaii. It’s definitely a place worth visiting during summer.
It is a trial for hiking which is made up of about 4,000 stairs. You can see beautiful trees, flowers, plants, and greenery everywhere.
However, the trial has been closed for more than a decade now. But that doesn’t mean you cannot fly your drone in that area.
It is legal to fly around the Haiku Stairs and take images.
Still, you should get familiar with the surrounding areas as there is a Marine Base (restricted area) very close to the trial.
Shark Bay, a World Heritage Site, is situated in Western Australia. It’s a great place for photography.
Photographers who have visited this area describe it as breathtaking.
● Kayaking, a natural pool.
● Dunes of Francois Peron National Park.
You might even get images of some endangered species found here such as Shark Bay Mouse, Shark Bird, Alligator Duck, etc.
Swiss Alps is an alpine region situated in Switzerland. It is filled with high mountains which makes it a photographers dream come true.
If you do take a trip to Switzerland anytime soon, make sure that you also go to see the historic city of Lucerne which is filled with medieval architecture and has a beautiful lake.
Zakynthos is an Island situated in Greece. The island is famous for its unbelievably natural blue caves which can be found all around the area.
You can get some great images if you fly over the ocean. However, it’s quite a challenging task to fly near the caves, and that’s why you need to be very careful.
It’s actually so difficult that I tell beginners to stay away from the caves.
Also, if you happen to be in Greece for any reason, make sure you visit Meteora. It’s a stunning rock formation famous for its beautiful and simple monasteries.
The ideal height for taking an image is quite an extensive debate.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. There isn’t just one! There are many.
It really depends upon the place where you’re taking the picture and what your image will focus on.
For example, a suitable height for selfies would range from 10-100 meters. While for capturing the view of an ocean your drone should be at least a hundred meters above the ground.
Again it really depends upon what you’re trying to capture.
Drones can make your selfies standout!
Using your drone for taking selfies can be both fun and challenging.
1. Go to an empty place where no one is around for at least a few hundred meters.
2. Make sure there aren’t any tall obstacles like trees or buildings around you.
3. Position your drone at a high altitude, 50-100 meters above the ground should do the trick.
4. Now simply take the shot.
This way the focus of the image will be sharply on you.
I will share three simple steps for starting your drone business.
Step 1: Get a drone license.
This is the first thing you should do. All professional photographers have a drone license, and if you have one, you’ll be able to work on professional projects.
Step 2: Create your own portfolio.
Set up your photography portfolio as it’s the fundamental place where potential clients will be able to see your work.
Make sure you get all the good stuff in your portfolio and leave out the mediocre and average photographs.
Having a great portfolio ultimately promotes you as a professional.
Step 3: Share your work.
I strongly suggest that all photographers create accounts on all social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
Sharing your work on these platforms will not only help you get immediate feedback but will also make you more popular.
To sum it up, follow the basics, practice, get a license, visit some places, share your work, and most importantly have fun!
What are your suggestions for fellow photographers?

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is usually a common and invariably fatal disease with limited therapeutic options. by de-differentiation of IPF-derived HLMFs towards a quiescent fibroblast phenotype as shown by reduced SMA manifestation and reduced actin stress fibre formation. Conclusions Taken collectively, these data suggest that Ca2+- and KCa3.1-dependent processes facilitate constitutive Smad2/3 signalling in IPF-derived fibroblasts, and thus promote fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation. Importantly, inhibiting KCa3.1 channels reverses this process. Focusing on KCa3.1 may therefore provide a novel and effective approach for the treatment of IPF and there is the potential for the rapid translation of KCa3.1-directed therapy towards the clinic. solid course=”kwd-title” Keywords: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), Fibrosis, Lung, Myofibroblast, KCa3.1, Ion route, Differentiation, Smad 2, Smad 3 Launch Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) comes with an unidentified etiology and it is marked by progressive lung fibrosis resulting in respiratory failing. The pathogenic systems involved with its initiation and development are poorly known and you can find limited therapeutic choices with poor efficiency [3,4]. Prognosis is normally bleak using a 866366-86-1 supplier median success of just 3?years, worse than many malignancies . IPF sufferers present using a mean age group of between 60 to 65?years in diagnosis . In america the overall occurrence of IPF is normally 16 per 100,000 person-years and the incidence is increasing by 11% yearly in the UK . The most favoured hypothesis concerning its development is that on-going multiple, microscopic, isolated episodes of alveoli epithelial injury lead to an irregular wound healing response including fibrotic repair mechanisms . Fibroblasts are mesenchymal cells that serve a critical role in both normal and fibrotic restoration processes, which when triggered, become differentiated, highly secretory and contractile clean muscle-like cells termed myofibroblasts . Manifestation of alpha clean muscle mass actin (SMA) and SMA-containing stress fibres is the hallmark of these cells [9-12]. IPF evolves from dysfunctional relationships between the hurt epithelium and fibroblasts which lead to pathologic lesions called fibroblast foci, which are comprised of triggered myofibroblasts . In their triggered state, myofibroblasts are the main cell responsible for the synthesis, secretion and remodelling of the extracellular matrix in IPF . The human being lung myofibroblast (HLMF) is definitely therefore 866366-86-1 supplier an attractive target for the treatment of IPF. SMA is definitely a key protein indicated by HLMFs as compared to quiescent fibroblasts , and contributes to the formation of characteristic HLMF contractile stress fibres [8,16,17]. SMA manifestation and stress fibre formation in myofibroblasts is definitely regulated in part from the TGF1/Smad signalling pathway [18,19]. Smads are intracellular proteins which transduce TGF1-dependent signals. Following binding of TGF1 to the TGFRII, Smad2/3 are phosphorylated and form hetero-oligomeric complexes with Smad 4, leading to nuclear translocation and the rules of gene transcription . They consequently regulate many biological effects in HLMFs that are under the control of TGF1, including collagen secretion, proliferation, differentiation and contraction [18-21]. Ion channels are attractive restorative targets for many chronic diseases including fibrosis. Activated intermediate conductance Ca2+-triggered K+ channels promote several pro-fibrotic processes in HLMFs such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-dependent proliferation, and TGF1-dependent wound healing, collagen secretion and contraction . KCa3.1 activity was also shown to contribute to the upregulation 866366-86-1 supplier of EBI1 SMA in response to TGF1 through the enhancement of Smad phosphorylation , and contributed to diabetic and surgically-induced.

The Hill & Valley Lawn Tennis Club’s 2012 Junior Championship took place on Sunday 15 July. The weather enabled most of the championship to be completed with only the 12 and Under Girls’ Singles and Doubles competitions to be finished in the first week in September.
Club coach Graham Stock commented: “There were one or two juniors missing for various reasons but the turnout was pretty good and we saw exciting tennis played throughout the day – the standard just gets better and better. Playing the finals of the Coln Valley Annual Mixed Doubles Tournament mid-way through the afternoon made for a great event for players and spectators, with many of the adults remarking on how many talented juniors we have for such a small club”.
Pictured here (left) is the Reverend Stephen Goundrey-Smith, Vicar of the benefice of Chedworth and District, accepting two cheques from Hill & Valley Lawn Tennis Club’s outgoing Chairman, Stephen Scott-Smith. In addition to raising funds for the tennis club, last year’s Coln Valley Annual Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournament raised £530.00 for local churches which was shared between St Andrews Church, Chedworth and the valley Churches of Coln Rogers and Coln St Denys. The presentation was made at the club’s AGM and social evening which was held recently in the Seven Tuns, Chedworth.
This year’s Coln Valley Tournament takes place on Saturday 11 June and Hill & Valley LTC anticipates welcoming back players who take part year after year, both locals and those from much further afield. They also very much hope to encourage new players to enter. Those nervous that the standard may be very high are urged not to be daunted by the word ‘tournament’.It is indeed a day of spirited, competitive tennis, but it is also a very social one, and the sliding handicap in the morning rounds is designed to even out the differences between the better players and those who are not so expert!
The event continues to retain its appeal with competitors thrilled at the prospect of playing on beautiful courts which are so kindly loaned for the day by local residents. Players are expected to wear whites in keeping with the traditional spirit of the occasion and as a courtesy to the court owners. The club is delighted that Far Frontiers Travel and Arcturus are again sponsoring the competition for 2011.
Interested parties should note that this year the club has introduced a significant discount for prompt entries: Tickets for a full day’s tennis, morning coffee, an excellent two-course lunch and afternoon tea with cakes are just £26.00 for those whose entry forms are received by 14 May, after which date the price increases to £30.00 – still amazing value. The final closing date for entries is Saturday 28 May.
For more information contact Meryl King on 01285 720278 or email meryl@merylking.com.
Hill & Valley Lawn Tennis Club has double cause for celebration this year – not only will it be marking its 25th anniversary but the club was recently awarded Tennis Clubmark status by the Gloucestershire LTA – something which only 12 of Gloucestershire’s 45 tennis clubs have achieved to date.
The accreditation recognises that Hill & Valley has achieved excellent standards and that the LTA endorses and supports its management, policies and procedures, tennis programme and development planning. Members of the committee were on hand to receive the prestigious Clubmarkcertificate and plaque from Joe Morris, the LTA’s Tennis Development Manager for Gloucestershire, Herefordshire & Worcestershire on Wednesday 16 February, and they will be on permanent display inside the pavilion for all to see. Making the presentation, Joe said:“It gives the LTA great pleasure to present you with the Tennis Clubmark today in acknowledgment of the effort which the committee puts into all aspects of running the club. We are very impressed with the level of commitment and excellence that Hill & Valley has demonstrated”.
Introduced in 2002 by Sport England, Clubmarkis the only national cross-sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. More than 10,000 clubs in around 35 diverse sports are currently Clubmark accredited or ‘working towards’ the award.
Graham Stock, Hill & Valley Club Coachsaid: “This award means a great deal to our club and we are thrilled to have attained it. We are one of just a dozenGloucestershire clubs to have Tennis Clubmark, including Oxstalls, East Glos., Cirencester, Painswick and others much larger than ourselves. It is an important step in building a sound foundation and a bright tennis future for the juniors and adults of Chedworth”.
Clubmark Leader and Club Secretary Fred Shaftoe added: “Members and potential new members can be confident that we have a proper framework in place to manage the club systematically and effectively, which will be helpful in retaining and attracting new members in the future. Despite being a small club we have high aspirations, and this award also means that Hill & Valley is now eligible to apply for LTA financial support. This will be important in our aim to develop a third court and for any other improvements planned for the future”.
To this end, several members of the committee then had a meeting with Joe and Gloucestershire LTA’s Facility Project Manager, Donna Bickley, regarding theadditional floodlit court, should the Parish Council agree to lease an additional area of land behind the existing courts.
New members are always very welcome and it is Hill & Valley’spolicy to keep its membership fees affordable for all.
Fred Shaftoe; Chairman Stephen Scott-Smith and Graham Stock.
Thirty five enthusiastic tennis stars of tomorrow honed their skills in the Spring sunshine at Hill and Valley Lawn Tennis Club on Saturday 24 April at the annual Play Tennis morning. The event heralds the start of the junior tennis season and this year attracted around 35 children aged 11 and under from Chedworth and primary schools in local Cotswold villages. The two-hour session was led by Hill & Valley club coach Graham Stock, with help from tennis assistants Carol Bailey and Daniel Heaps and several parents.
After completing several warm up drills designed to improve agility, balance and coordination, participants were put into teams of four and shown how to complete each game station on the courts. Best individual scores were recorded and the team totals added up at the end. After two hours everyone had won a prize and the winning team were rewarded with prizes too. The scores achieved this year were higher than last which demonstrates that the competitive spirit is very much alive in Chedworth! Everyone enjoyed a tasty barbecue afterwards.
More mature players are invited to enter the Coln Valley Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournament which takes place on Saturday 12 June in Chedworth. This annual event has become a favourite in the local sporting calendar and is open to non-members and players of all standards. Matches are played on courts kindly donated for the day by local residents in the villages around Chedworth with the final rounds played on the Hill and Valley LTC club courts. Tickets are £25.00 per head which includes coffee, a superb lunch and afternoon tea and the chance to win one of two prestigious trophies. If you would like to enter, contact Meryl King on 01285 720278 for more information, or print off the entry form at www.chedworth.org.uk/tennis.
The club always welcomes new members, whether young or adult, and strives to keep its membership fees as affordable as possible. For more information about what is on offer contact Fred Shaftoe on 01285 720024.
It was smiles all round last week as Hill and Valley Lawn Tennis Club celebrated a year which saw membership rise, several successful tournaments and promotion for both ladies’ teams. The icing on the cake was the news that the club was runner-up for Gloucestershire LTA’s Club of the Year Award announced on 7 December.
Over the past year, junior membership grew by more than 30 per cent from 55 to 72 members, whilst the adult numbers increased from 163 to 191, up by 17 per cent. Hill and Valley LTC champions junior and youth tennis in the area, both in Chedworth and through the club’s partnerships with St. Andrews Primary School, Chedworth and Bibury Primary School. Its policy is to keep its fees among the lowest for tennis clubs in Gloucestershire and affordable for everyone in the area. There are now three club coaches helping to develop players: John Robson, Graham Stock and Hilary Swan, and among its most promising young players is five year-old Joseph Kenning who was accepted into the Oxstalls Tennis Academy and recognised as a talent for the future.
A number of adult and junior tournaments were held in 2009 including the annual Coln Valley Annual Mixed Doubles Tournament in June. Among the 108 entrants (the highest number for some years) was a sizeable contingent from Cirencester LTC and other Wiltshire and Gloucestershire clubs. The year also saw the launch of the Hill and Valley Club Challenge, a mixed doubles tournament for members along the lines of the Coln Valley event.
In the Wilson Gloucestershire Summer League both the ladies’ teams finished first in their divisions to receive promotion for 2010. The first team finished top of Division One, the first time in the club’s history that it will have a team playing in the Premier Division. The ladies B only dropped three points all season, notching up an incredible 37 out of a possible 40 points, achieving promotion to Division Four, having only recently entered the league. The men’s team too had their most successful season for some years.
Another first has been entering teams into both the Wilson Gloucestershire Winter Tennis League (mixed doubles) and the ladies Winter Floodlit League played at East Glos.
The club hopes to add two more hard courts in the future and outline agreement has been given by Chedworth Parish Council to make land available adjacent to the existing courts. The additional capacity will enable further development of the coaching programme, improvement in the organisation of tournaments and allow more teams to take part in league tennis. The objective for 2010 is for the club to achieve the Tennis Clubmark excellence award.
More than 50 enthusiastic tennis stars of tomorrow gathered at Hill and Valley Lawn Tennis Club on Saturday 28 April for the curtain-raiser to the junior tennis season. The Fun Tennis event is held each year for children aged 11 and under from primary schools in local Cotswold villages.
Led by Hill & Valley club coach John Robson, the event was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the fact that mains water has now been laid to the pavilion thanks to a grant from the ‘Awards for All’ scheme. This will make a huge difference when it comes to providing refreshments for league matches, tournaments and social tennis events and is one of a series of enhancement the club has made over recent years.
More mature players are invited to enter the Coln Valley Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournament which takes place on Saturday 16 June in Chedworth. This annual event has become a favourite in the local sporting calendar and is open to non-members and players of all standards. Matches are played on courts around Chedworth with the final rounds on the Hill and Valley LTC club courts. Tickets are £20.00 per head and include coffee, a superb lunch and afternoon tea. If you would like to enter, contact Julie Young on 720398 for more information.
HILL & VALLEY IS NUMBER ONE!
Chedworth’s Hill & Valley Lawn Tennis Club has just been voted Club of the Year for 2004 by the Gloucestershire Lawn Tennis Association – the first small, two-court village club to win the award. Announcing the accolade at the Gloucestershire LTA’s AGM last week, Christine Rivers, County Development Officer, attributed the club’s success to its achievements on several fronts and said it was a good example of what can be accomplished by a two-court club.
Runner-up for the title for the past two years, Hill & Valley has increased its membership by 20% since 2002 and has considerably upgraded facilities. A new pavilion was erected in 2000, new netting in 2001, both courts were resurfaced and the first set of floodlights were installed in 2003 and the second set will be added before the 2005 season commences. John Robson, Club Coach, and tennis assistant Carol Bailey have greatly encouraged participation by juniors and mini-tennis players (5-10 year olds) with 40-50 youngsters now regularly involved throughout the year. As a result the club has been awarded mini-tennis status by the Lawn Tennis Association and juniors now regularly take part in District and County events.
Success was in the air throughout the season with the men’s team finishing top of their division undefeated in all ten matches. The under-11 mini-tennis boys’ team (Hill & Valley Hawks) also won all their matches and topped the National Junior Club League in their first season!
Stephen Scott-Smith, Chairman of Hill & Valley LTC said: “This award is a tribute to the vision and hard work of the club’s committee members. We recognised several years ago that the club would not prosper without its own coaching resources and youth development programme. Our coach John Robson’s work in this area has been outstanding as evidenced by the increase in youth (and adult) members and the achievement of the youngsters in local and county competitions. We are not a large club but we have invested significant sums over the past five years in improving our facilities. We thank Gloucestershire LTA for this award and for their support”.

Some really good quality - mostly 2D - artistic renditions of most of the major powers vehicles and aircraft.
Definately worth checking out if you appreciate this sort of thing.
As a modeller, this web site is very useful, found it a while back though had lost the link.
Thanks Saxon. a really good web site, great arts!!!
This site is good reference for modelers. I first found this site about 3 years ago, and the examples are great!
The focus is on Soviet armour and vehicles, but includes many British, Canadian, and US lend-lease vehicles. The art work is superb.
Sister site of the above, but this is newer and a work in progress. So far it mostly has lorries and cars. Includes photos as well as art work.
The Engines of the Wehrmacht site is excellent!

This article debuted in my newsletter, The Way You Live Your Day is the Way You Live Your Life™. I wanted to make sure that blog readers had this important overview of the getting unstuck process, before we get into more specific tips and ideas. And here on the blog, we can discuss what you’re learning and how you’re putting it to work to get – and stay – unstuck and live in flow.
To get your monthly newsletter with more tips, ideas and ways to feel inspired and energized, request your Achieve Your Ideal Results kit using the sign-up area to the right.
When you’re feeling stuck or stressed, it’s easy to feel that no one understands exactly what you’re going through. And you’re right. Everyone’s situation is indeed unique.
But there are a series of steps that apply across the board. Here’s an overview of the process and some simple questions to get you started living more in flow.
Being stuck in your life is a lot like being stuck in your car in a snow bank. You can keep pressing the accelerator, making the car work harder and harder, but it’s not going anywhere.
Throw a little bit of sand under the wheels though, and all of a sudden you start to move.
You’re not a car, but when you’re stuck, the same principle applies.
Find one or two practical, manageable actions, and all of a sudden you start to move.
Overwhelm and frustration – between the two of them, it’s hard to think clearly or find new perspectives on what’s happening.
For anyone who grew up driving on wintry roads, you know what to do when you get stuck. But after a lifetime in Southern California, my first experience getting stuck on a snowy incline was an eye-opener. I had no idea how to get the car moving so I just kept doing the same thing over and over, working myself up into quite a sweat.
It wasn’t until I finally got out of the car and took a deep breath that I realized I needed something for traction. (All of you who know how to drive in snow can stop laughing now. ;-)) Miraculously I had a bag of kitty litter in my trunk that I’d not yet carried into my house.
Creating some breathing room opens space for new ideas. It gives you a chance to listen to your gut, your heart, and your intuition. A few minutes sitting in your chair taking deep breaths, going for a short walk, or bopping around the room to dance party music may be all it takes.
Once you have traction and room to breathe, it’s much easier to gain clarity. You’re better able to be honest with yourself about what’s really most important and what trade-offs you’re willing to make. You’ll have more emotional and mental energy to challenge your assumptions and open up to new possibilities.
As you sort through what’s right for you, you’re able to integrate the three dimensions of your life: who you are, what you do, and how you do it. And that is your recipe for living with a sense of flow.
Where are you stuck right now? Be really specific and don’t judge.
What is one tiny step you can take to gain some traction? It could be closing your email program 30 minutes a day, working on your resume for 15 minutes every morning, or starting your day by writing down one small thing to do that day to move you one step closer to your goal.
Write down your step daily and acknowledge your progress every day. And if you backslide, be kind to yourself and start again.
The night I was stuck on the snowy road, I was thrilled to realize I didn’t have to wait for a warmer weather to get moving again. You too don’t have to wait to get going!!
Please use the comment box below to share your thoughts on this article and your experience creating some traction on whatever has you stuck or stressed.

Grab your dancing shoes and put them on daily. A new study published in The Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports examined the potential effects of 16 different exercise types for reducing disability for activities of daily living (ADL) in older women and found that dancing may be just the right ticket.
The prospective study enrolled 1,003 women without ADL disability. All participants were asked in person whether they performed any of 16 exercise types. ADL disability during eight years of follow-up was defined as dependence in at least one ADL task (walking, eating, bathing, dressing or toileting).
Anticancer vaccines are showing promise now and some investigators report that we may be moving into a new era. Cutting edge developments in this re-energized field recently were presented at the 2018 ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress in Geneva, Switzerland.
The original anticancer vaccines, launched in the late 1990s, were based on shared tumor antigens and failed to induce a potent immune response. After decades of disappointing results, a number of advances have sparked a renewed interest in the field. These include new technologies and prediction algorithms to personalize vaccines, and the introduction of checkpoint inhibitors for combination therapy.
“There is again a flurry of activity around anticancer vaccines. We can now customize vaccines for each patient based on the genomic information in their tumor, and the early results are promising,” said Dr. Michal Bassani-Sternberg, Group Leader, who is with the Department of Oncology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Personalization has been made possible with high-throughput next generation sequencing. This technology identifies mutations that are unique to a patient’s tumor and are not found elsewhere in the body, allowing a vaccine to mount a cancer-specific immune response. Algorithms can predict which neoantigens should be targeted for vaccination.
“We have a good way to fish out and propose targets for vaccination. The first trials were published last year and showed that the selected targets were immunogenic, meaning that vaccination induced immune responses or amplified existing immune responses against these neoantigens. In addition, the vaccines worked well with checkpoint inhibitors,” said Dr. Bassani-Sternberg.
Numerous questions remain unanswered, such as when to vaccinate patients. Should this be immediately after surgery, when there are few tumor cells left, or beforehand? Despite these questions, vaccination appears feasible. The technology to develop vaccines is available and getting better, the vaccines are safe and immunogenic, and clinical trial testing is beginning. “We are counting on new technologies that have now matured. Next generation sequencing has made identification of vaccine targets more efficient, reliable and cheaper,” said Dr. Bassani-Sternberg.
But how old are you really?
Researchers have long observed that biological age and chronological age are not always one and the same. A 55-year-old may exhibit many signs of old age and have numerous age-related diseases, whereas an 80-year-old may be healthy and robust. While diet, physical activity and other factors play a role, there are many contributors as to why and how some people age better than others. Those contributors remain poorly understood.
cells ranging from the very young to the very old and looked for molecular signatures that can be predictive of age. Developing a better understanding of the biological processes of aging could eventually help to address health conditions that are more common in old age, such as heart disease and dementia.
The researchers focused on a type of skin cell called dermal fibroblasts, which generate connective tissue and help the skin to heal after injury. The investigators analyzed fibroblasts taken from 133 healthy individuals ranging in age from 1 to 94. To get a representative sample, the team studied an average of 13 people for each decade of age. The lab cultured the cells to multiply, then used a method called RNA sequencing to look for biomarkers in the cells that change as people get older.
If the findings from this study are validated, doctors could use this type of analysis to determine when to begin screening each individual patient for age-related conditions and to advise them about healthy lifestyle choices. More research needs to be done before any preventive treatments could be developed. One of the next steps of this research will be look for these signatures in other types of cells.

Opt for your favorite ingredients!
New favorite stir-fry alert! We spiced up one of our go-to meals with a new marinade and it was incredible – this has became our new favorite! The marinade is savory and a sweet spicy mix… so yummy!
My plate often gets loaded up with portobello mushrooms, red pepper and broccolini. The boys can opt for broccolini and chicken, which I make using the same marinade. This recipe has definitely gone into the rotation. Easy to prep, full of flavor and satisfying!
Recipe and inspiration from Minimalist Baker.

It was a bit sloppy overall -- when I first went to the linked website reported by various outlets, I actually got a default 404 page from Dreamhost.
I 'm late to the party on your book s -- somehow missed the original Kickstarter -- but it 's good to see these excerpts appear. Very interesting stuff that could use a little extra attention.
Dark Souls: It's like an NES Game!
Cool. 5 is not a lot, even for F2P, but it should prevent a large chunk of spam. I just hope Valve ensures that the people who sign up because they 've received a gift-game are still be able to befriend others and use the full feature-set.

Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities, is best known for its harbor front Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and Circular Quay are hubs of waterside life, with the towering, arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Gardens nearby. Sydney Tower's 268m glass viewing platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city, harbour and suburbs.
In New South Wales, Australian attractions include Sydney with its famous landmarks, the Rocks (birthplace of Australia), the South Coast, the Blue Mountains, limestone caves, white sand beaches. Or enjoy a day at the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Royal National Park or travel farther north to the Hunter Valley for its vineyards and wines. There are always plenty of things to do in Sydney during the warmer months - from sightseeing and world-class dining, to great walks and fun in the sand at one of Sydney's idyllic beaches. You can even do the BridgeClimb to its high arches not only as an adventure but also for a clear birds-eye view of the city. Sydney is one of the world's most loved cities and it has a lively and vibrant buzz that makes it the ultimate summer destination.
Sydney also has a couple of iconic sites that many may have heard of, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, but so many more attractions lie beneath the surface for those that are willing to explore a little further a field.
National Parks lay hidden on the city outskirts, with walking tracks leading to spectacular lookouts; sheltered harbour beaches wait alluringly away from the crowds, perfect for dropping anchor and swimming in the potentially the world's most famous water; the historical pubs and cobblestone alleys of the Rocks district ooze convict history, intertwined with Aboriginal arts and crafts stores as a reminder of its original inhabitants and pockets of multi-cultural communities - Greek, Chinese, Italian to name a few - bustle with activity and make sure that there is always something going on.
For those who love shopping, a visit to the Queen Victoria Building in the heart of Sydney's CBD is a must - providing the opportunity to shop for designer brands in one of Australia's most beautiful and historic buildings. If you're looking for unique souvenirs, spend some time at one of Sydney's markets, which happen every weekend throughout the city and surrounding suburbs.
Of course, no visit to Sydney is complete without a trip to the beach. Bondi Beach is a popular tourist destination not just because of its crisp white sand and stunning setting, but because it showcases the city's urban beach lifestyle.
To get a feel for the rich history behind Sydney, a guided tour is a great place to start. You can even tour the Sydney Harbour Bridge - by climbing it!
Best Time to Visit Sydney?
Australia's northern half is driest and most accessible between April and September. Warm sunny days show the national parks and beaches at their very best, providing opportunities for swimming and barbecues. The north is humid from October to March, with more rainfall, but this is offset by the active wildlife, and reinvigorated rainforests and wetlands. In the southern half of Australia, the summer months of December to February bring hot weather. Autumn (March to May) is also a lovely time, with numerous festivals and the busy grape harvest. Winter (June to August) is less busy and generally attracts a temperate climate that's ideal for walking, while spring (September to November) often sees more wildlife activity.
