Welcome to this two hour Open Line discussion on a variety of topics. Note that while I took two breaks during the discussion, I am still archiving the show in just two segments. During the first segment, my suggested discussion topics included my response to an April 10 email from Doug wondering why I strongly believe that the economic development of space will be a sizeable part of the future economy. I answered this question for Doug on air and during the show a few listeners added to my answer. My next suggested topic dealt with The Space Show website problems and the development of a new site to be funded by a crowd funding program. I asked listeners for suggestions for incentives to offer contributors to the crowd funding venture. While most offered excellent and serious suggestions, one or two listeners responded with sarcastic comments and probably in their mind, funny comments. But I am very serious about this. The Space Show website is moving, we are trying to move the existing site to stay up with something that works and all of you are familiar with as a completely new site needs to be funded. If you do have suggestions for incentives for supporting our crowd funding effort, post them on the blog or email them to me. I appreciate this. Our first caller was Andrew in Tucson who called from the top of Kitt Peak as he was there working two telescopes and doing observatory work. We talked with Andrew about his work and project, the telescopes, life on Kitt Peak, light pollution in the area and more. We also talked with him about other observatories in Tucson and Flagstaff, plus since he has been to Mauna Kea in Hawaii, we talked about that as well. I planned a visit to him on Kitt Peak and will do some recorded interviews while there for future Space Show program.
We took a break at the top of the hour and returned to talk with Jeff from Tucson about his work with Andrew and his thoughts on the ULA-Vulcan project plus comments by the new ULA head, Tory Bruno. I asked if he had read the recent Space Cynics post on ULA Vulcan by Shubber Ali who pretty much dissed the venture (see https://spacecynic.wordpress.com – the lead post). Jeff briefly looked at it and said it lacked numbers and fact and was an opinion piece. What Jeff then had to say was based on engineering, numbers, and fact and he thought it was a good project. Don't miss what Jeff had to say about ULA Vulcan as it was a good call. Jeff's called sparked others to comment on both ULA and SpaceX and I made the case for needing both companies and more to help the emerging commercial space industry grow and develop. I also commented that the one or the other mentality or moon vs. mars or being forced to make choices at the expense of other valid choices was counter-productive and not supportive of industrial growth yet I realize we are living in tight budget times. We took another short break, then Tim called in to disagree with an earlier guest on the possible use of RTGs on the Moon and the use of material such as Plutonium 239 or substitute materials that may be cheaper and in more abundant supply. Mike called to advocate for getting Ms. Shotwell of SpaceX back on the show, then Doug called to question the year long ISS experiment with Scott Kelly. Rather than using a time line for the mission parameter, he wanted to suggest targeted objectives to meet. While I thought his idea was a good one, I was at a loss how to suggest he go about getting changes in the mission design for this experiment. I did suggest I would see if I could find who designed this mission and get them to be on The Space Show. If any of you have specific information on this, please let me know.
Post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. You can reach any of the participants in tonight's program through me.

The suggestion that Scott Kelly be encouraged to stay on ISS as long as possible – at least to a time equivalent to Mars fly-by/return – could be adopted as a Space Show inspired project. This could be a topic for a Space Show show in itself, a Hotel Mars program, and formally clothed very quickly as an endeavor worth serious legitimate consideration. The Mars Society and Lunar COTS etc could come together to support such an initiative. Scott seems like the type of person who would welcome professional support for his continued stay…just a guess and of course it would ultimately be up to him to decide whether to extend his mission beyond ~530 days, Scott seems like the type of person who would be up for such a heroic once-in-a-lifetime challenge. Its acronym could even be The Space Show's Project HERO.
An article (by Doug?) could be published on the Space Review next week…Hotel Mars could interview Doug the next week, the following weekend a special edition of the Space Show with Doug as a guest defending this idea could be aired, encouraging programmed call-ins by professions in support of the idea who are familiar with the Space Show and supportive of the ideas of Project HERO as laid out in The Space Review. Even Scott Kelly could call in as a surprise guest : )
Anyhow, this is a wonderful idea…doable and resulting in valuable new science – initiated by The Space Show. Hope this is followed up, really exciting initiative!

I enjoyed the segment where Jeff from Tuscon came on and gave his views on ULA's Vulcan rocket. It was a excellent discussion. I would like to see Tory Bruno as a guest on The Space Show. He's a dynamic speaker and a smart operator. It would make for an excellent show.
- Jeff Smith - April 30, 2015
Thanks Michael.
The worst part is that we didn't even get into any of the details of my analysis! Oh well, we ended up talking about the SpaceX vs ULA religious war most of the time. Suffice it to say, ULA made some REALLY good decisions with this rocket and it'll be a real winner.
- Michael J. Listner - April 30, 2015
I'm not an engineer Jeff, but from what I see the Vulcan is going to be a great launcher to have in the inventory and deserves a much broader discussion. This is why I think it would be great to get Bruno on The Space Show. The Space X vs. ULA rhetoric is just that. Let's get Mr. Bruno on the Show so we can learn more about the Vulcan.

Veterans Administration health systems in Los Angeles and Loma Linda have drawn low marks, while Long Beach had the region's best score, in a rating system created several years ago to encourage medical service delivery improvements throughout more than 140 VA service centers across the country.
The VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, which serves 83,000 veterans, received a score of 1, which falls in the bottom 10 percent of the VA health systems nationwide, said Dr. Peter Almenoff, chief, improvement and analytics officer.
The VA Loma Linda Healthcare System, which serves more 75,000 veterans, scored a 2, the second lowest rung on a scale where 5 is the top grade, while Long Beach topped the pair with a 3.
The ranking system, known as Strategic Analytics for Improvement and Learning, or SAIL, was first implemented in mid-2012, and includes measurements used by the private sector and additional ones that address access to care, quality of mental health care, employee perception about the organization, nursing turnover and efficiency, the VA's website says.
The scores are designed to help VA health networks improve and do not imply that patients will not get good care at facilities in the lower rankings, Almenoff said, in a telephone interview. He was on the committee that developed SAIL.
The Loma Linda VA system includes community clinics in Blythe, Corona, Palm Desert, Rancho Cucamonga, Murrieta and Victorville. The Los Angeles VA system includes the West Los Angeles Medical Center, Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center, and the Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center.
VA designed the new ranking system specifically as an internal benchmarking tool to spotlight the successful strategies of VA's top performers in order to promote high quality, safety and value-based health care across all of its medical centers, said Wade J. Habshey, spokesman for the VA Loma Linda.
SAIL enables VA leaders and personnel to pinpoint and learn from VA medical facilities that have high quality and efficiency scores, both within specific measured areas and overall, he said.
"Relative ratings are not the equivalent of the weekly National Football League standings or ratings in YELP," Habshey said. "To be clear, no VA medical facility is bad or failing. It's an opportunity to move from 'good to great' and VALLHCS has some work to do specifically in the areas of the veteran perception of access, employee engagement and overall mental health services."
Barbara Fallen, director of the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System, said she and her staff expect Loma Linda rankings to increase significantly when new numbers come out later this year.
"Our new building is spectacular," Fallen said. "I think it is going to make a big difference in those numbers," she said.
Fallen was referring to the 271,000-square-foot ambulatory care center, which opened in late 2016, and is about two miles east of the main VA campus, the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Medical Center. The new ambulatory care center has relieved the parking congestion at the main campus and provided outpatient veterans with easy parking at a new facility.
The ambulatory care center integrates primary care and behavioral services, so that if a patient in for a medical issue, needs behavioral help, then that can be integrated into the same visit, Loma Loma Linda VA officials have said.
Darryl Willingham, 52, of Moreno Valley, knows the VA Loma Linda as both a veteran of combat in Grenada and Lebanon and as an employee, and he says the new ambulatory care center has created "a whole new ballgame" for patient care, starting with convenient parking.
"That may not sound like a big deal, but if you are in a wheelchair and not feeling well on top of that, then driving around looking for a parking spot can be frustrating," Willingham said. And this happened frequently on the main campus. And then too often that one open spot was at the opposite end of the main hospital complex, he said.
Too often, this was a bad start to a Loma Linda VA visit, Willingham said. The former Marine said he thinks even that staff at the outpatient building is more friendly than at the main hospital.
"We look at SAIL as one piece," Rich Beam, spokesman for the VA Long Beach Healthcare System, said Tuesday. "No one piece tells the whole story … when we see trends and issues, we do a deep dive."
A correction in course can take a year to show up in the SAIL numbers, he said. "Somebody has to be at the lower end," he said, "… no matter how good a job they are doing."
"At VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS), we welcome the opportunity to highlight the progress made since the last annual Strategic Analytics for Improvement and Learning (SAIL) report was released," the health system said, in a statement.
"As improving a 'Star Rating' requires a VA facility to not only make immediate improvements but to also demonstrate those improvements can be sustained, VAGLAHS with members of its permanent leadership team finally in place, got to work. Although the full impact of any immediate improvement will not be seen until it's sustained for a full 12-month period, we are confident the ongoing and robust efforts being made to improve programs and services for our veteran patients can and will be fully sustained," the VA Los Angeles healthcare system statement said.
Since the last survey, acute in-hospital complication rates have improved by 89 percent.
Central Line Associated Bloodstream infection rates declined by 26 percent and MRSA infection rates decreased by 48 percent.

Wow, these paintings are definitely unique in their style and representation of Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. I think the artist spent much time in bringing out the painting's feeling through their colors. Overall, the one that stood out to me the most was Paradise #15 "Cacciaguida's history lesson". The entire image is very moving for me, as I think of a small door opening from heaven into space.
Thank you for sharing!
It would be cool if you write a bit more about those. Stunning
These prints are awesome! Love them all! Congrats
I love Dante and Saint Peter, both for the colours and the softness

High end aerial photography is one of my specialties and I offer two options to obtain the shots you need, I am a FAA licensed drone pilot and have access to an airplane.
Oblique aerials, photos taken at an angle, are often the most desirable and difficult to accomplish from a conventional airplane. With a drone, producing a perfect oblique photo is more accessible and less costly than an airplane. Taking one exterior shot of a high end home is now cost effective when in the past you would need to cover the costs of the photographer, pilot and airplane expenses.
The drone offers a unique vantage point for many common scenarios. Employees in front of a building, a sports team on a field, home and business exteriors, outdoor lot inventory, events and more.
Often there is no supplement for a conventional airplane in the hands of a every capable pilot and photographer. I have one pilot I choose to fly with, who flies Boeing 777s internationally and can handle a plane with extreme precision. If we need to be over one spot and take a series of images we can handle it, which is no easy task and takes hours of practice. Controlled airspace, large cities, both no problem. We fly a Cessna 172 with the window open, which makes a great aerial platform. I have tried many airplanes and a few helicopters and I am always happy to be in the Cessna to get the job done. Additional aerial photos are available in the Portfolio section.

Flexible Working: Do you have to bend over backwards?
For years it has been predicted that the technology revolution would lead to dramatic changes in the way Australians work, with flexibility the catchword.
For years it has been predicted that the technology revolution would lead to dramatic changes in the way Australians work, with flexibility the catchword.
Workplace Christmas parties are a great way to reward employees for their hard work over the last twelve months.
When does an employee's behaviour warrant termination of their employment and when should they, instead, be issued with a final warning? This poser has landed many an employer in hot water, facing credible allegations of unfair dismissal or breach of contract.
How does a business protect its confidential proprietary information including intellectual property?
Understanding exactly what is meant by parental leave and what obligations and entitlements come with it can be a difficult process.
For many businesses that operate in client driven industries, it is not until an employee leaves the organisation that the business asks two important questions: who owns the LinkedIn connections that the employee amassed during the employment and do those connections amount to confidential information capable of being owned?
Managers who fail to tackle promptly and effectively the problem of under-performing employees risk long-running and, possibly, expensive headaches with important legal ramifications.
Individuals and corporations can be held accountable under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and other legislation for actions which are carried out by third parties if it is considered that they have been involved with the actions.
Given that we spend a large proportion of our lives at work, often in stressful situations, it is understandable that some of us may drop the odd f-bomb at work.

The first time I heard Protector 101's music I was behind the wheel of my friend's black Chevy Nova Super Sport and this song started blasting from his 4,6×9's speakers and a 12 inch subwoofer.
It definitely gave me the vibe that I was living in an Nicolas Winding Refn film except the cold reality was that I'm too good looking to be Ryan Gosling and trouble wasn't looking for me.
So I tracked down this mystery musical man and decided to interview him.
Where did the name Protector 101 come from?
It's from a 1986 horror b movie called Chopping Mall. Protector 101 was the series of security robots for the mall in the movie that end up going berserk and killing the unfortunate teens stuck in the mall.
What is your appeal with 80's?
A lot of things… it's hard to narrow it down. The movies, the music, fashion, art, video games. It was bold, big, and fluorescent! It seemed everyone had big ideas and they were going to let everyone know they did… with their fluorescent knee high socks.
What's your creative process like?
I have to find something that inspires me. This is usually with movies from the 80's that I watch. My releases are more or so based around concepts. What I mean by that is that there usually tends to be somewhat of a story behind them, a plot. I'll make a basic plot that seems very 80's in my head, like a buddy cop movie, or something sci-fi and go from there.
What other musicians do you listen to?
I listen too many different types of music but if we're just talking about the synthwave/outrun scene then artists like Lueur Verte, Power Glove, Perturbator, Slick Moranis, Vercetti Technicolor, and many many others! There's too many talented people of this genre to list them all. We'd be here all day.
For whatever reason, I see you wearing a helmet like Daft Punk when you play your music…is this fact or fiction?
Hahaa… Nah… no helmet. Just part of my face missing exposing the robotics inside. Of course I have Wayfarer sunglasses to cover that up.
What was the first song you made?
Oh man… A song called "Neon Highway." It was inspired by the 1989 ATARI arcade game 'S.T.U.N. Runner.'
It's pretty horrible, very basic and has yet been released to the public. I keep going back and forth if I should release it or not. Maybe one day I will.
What was the movie or song that inspired you to make this genre inspired music?
It was kind of a two for one deal. It was the movie Hobo With a Shotgun and hearing Power Glove's track, 'Hunters' and Judge Bitch track 'Pacer' in the movie that really got me up to actually trying this style of music out. I was so inspired by the combination of these three that it made what Protector 101 is today.
Do you plan on going on tour in the future?
I would love to but I don't see it anytime in the near future. I do electronic based music and I don't want to be one of those people that brings just their laptop and hit's the play and sync buttons all night long. I've seen that too many times and for me it's just boring to watch someone do that. I believe you have to have an act, something that would give the crowd something to watch. This requires a proper setup with midi controllers, which I do have but my primary goal with P-101 is to just produce. That being said if it came up I'd probably do it.
Would you ever score a movie if given the opportunity?
This is pretty much exactly what my goal is with P-101. To do score for movies, video games, commercials, etc. Nothing would make me happier within the P-101 project. My songs are geared more into score and soundtrack material rather than "dance" style. But things are starting to take shape and I really can't say much but, start expecting to hear some Protector 101 in some movies in the near future…

spending time with family
Nothing much happened today. We just spent time with the kids. The husband's daughter came by to visit and she brought her whole family with her. The little man was happy to have somebody his age to play with. There were incidents but nothing really major. I guess it is normal for kids to be rough with each other while playing especially between two hyper toddlers. The little man may have been rough with his nephew but he was so gentle with his niece. He was in awe of her. He touches her hands and smiles when she smiles at him. I now know he will be a good older brother if we ever decide to have another baby. The living room was in chaos but as long as the little man was happy I don't care. His happiness comes first, cleaning up is secondary :D We have not decided what to do on Christmas but hopefully we will get to spend it with the whole family again. We are all loud and rowdy but, hey, we are family and I think we are allowed a little of that in the comfort of home. I just wish the husband will have a huge Christmas bonus so we can go to Myrtle and maybe visit Dixie's Stampede. And hopefully he will be off the day after Christmas so him and the little man will be with me the whole day on my birthday. Am I selfish or what? Lol.

Moving goods from one place to another – it's all about logistics and transportation. When an enterprise is in the business of moving goods for clients, it's focus has to be on coordinating the most effective, efficient, and economical way to move them, on keeping clients informed and happy, on marketing to new clients, and, of course, always keeping an eye on the ROI of any new initiative they undertake to improve all of these things.
Traditionally, these have been manual tasks
keying in data from emails, faxes, and spreadsheets,
tracking shipments and deliveries by those same methods,
keeping clients informed, again via those same methods
coordinating with sales and support departments
managing volume and capacities
managing customer service and interactions by phone, silos of emails, and faxes.
invoicing, maintaining accounts payable, managing bids
While all of these tasks do not relate specifically to CRM, everything an enterprise does is at least indirectly related, for it contributes to operational effectiveness, and operational effectiveness keeps clients happy.
The Rise of CRM Software Development for Logistics Enterprises
It is the rare mid- to large-sized enterprise that has not implemented CRM software, either of its own development or through one of many vendors who have designed and developed solutions that can be customized for unique purposes.
In recent years, CRM vendors have moved into development for logistics enterprises, and there are now multiple options.
Selecting an option that meets your specific needs is a matter for research and discussion, both in-house and with potential vendors.
In general, however, there are some key critical features that any option should include.
You will want a solution that is cloud-based. Here is why.
Users need to be able to login from any browser, computer, or mobile device.
The right vendor will be able to provide the infrastructure, hardware, software, and support, so that there is no need to re-configure any in-house systems, or use them for that matter, other than to access the cloud.
The In-House IT department should be involved in the vendor selection process.
Even though the CRM solution will be cloud-based, techies are good at evaluating systems, speed, hardware, and support. They will be able to compare the relative value that each vendor offers in these categories. At the same time, these IT factors cannot be given more weight than the factors that will actually "touch" customers.
Focus On The Functionality That Matters to Your Enterprise
Logistics and transportation enterprises are as varied as online clothing retailers. From a company such as Parcel Delivery, that coordinates small parcel shipping for individuals and enterprises, to a major trucking and/or ocean liner corporation, CRM solutions will require a huge variance in functions.
But, large or small, there are three key functions, in varying degrees, that all CRM solutions should offer.
Support for workflow and business processes in marketing/sales, lead generation, management of bids, contract management, customer service and in-house team collaboration. Security is also a major component, along with what employees can access what on their screens.
Functions of Reporting and Dashboard. You must determine what metrics, analytics, and business intelligence you need and how these will be reported. There is a huge variance among vendors in how this is accomplished, and your people must be comfortable with the chosen option. It will be a top priority to identify the required metrics and make sure they can be easily tracked and reported. Any vendor that is "worth his salt" will allow a business to "test drive" these functions.
Team collaboration is critical. Every customer may be in the systems of multiple departments – sales, contracts, invoicing/billing, customer service, etc. A CRM solution must allow all departments access to one "picture" of the customer. Sales now know when and what the last interaction was with customer service; customer service now has access to contracts and invoicing.
Assess the ROI clearly and carefully. A CRM software solution is a big investment. And you will want to assess the ROI once that big expense has been incurred. Obviously, the most important factor will be increased revenue. The other is in the area of productivity. Both of these can be measured if a baseline is established first and then incremental measurements are taken every 6-9 months.
Expect difficulties in the adoption of the new technology. It's incredibly hard to implement a new CRM solution. Obviously, this requires training and "buy-in." And the buy-in only comes if the training is done well. Check out the vendor-supported training, for it is probably "tried and tested." At the very least, set a schedule of training in modules rather than several consecutive days with people sitting at computers – it will not be retained. The vendor should be able to provide recommendations for the transition to occur in chunks rather than all at once.
A Repeat. Most enterprise employees travel; some area out in the field. When customer contacts are made, speed in response is critical. Any CRM solution must have a full app for both iOS and Android, not just through a browser.
Choosing a CRM solution and then transitioning to it involves a lot of thought, analysis of needs, evaluation of vendor solutions, and then bringing everyone on board. Given the expense and the time required, these six criteria/considerations will be important.

Inspiration for this new series derives from the lost souls, activists and community of people who are part and parcel of the American landscape—people who enrich that landscape in both hidden and overt ways. The portraits incorporate texture, rich deep lines and are anchored in contrast. Several are rooted in a defiant solidarity of consciousness, soulfulness, and personal voice. Some are dark in tone in recognition of ongoing struggles.Read more

There's a fundamental challenge that many standards maintenance groups and standards implementers deal with from time to time: how can standards evolve, and implementers innovate, while maintaining the sort of reliable and well-documented interoperability that standardization enables?
Standards maintenance processes add new functionality slowly and carefully, but the products that implement those standards may progress much more rapidly at times, to address new needs in the marketplace, new technologies, and ever-changing market dynamics. Is it possible to "loosely couple" a standard and its implementations in a way that allows implementers to deliver innovations while remaining interoperable and conformant to the standard?
I recently had the opportunity to work with a few of my Microsoft colleagues to put together a whitepaper (attached below) that touches on some of these issues. The paper was delivered at an interoperability event in Beijing earlier this month, and it provides an overview of MCE (Markup Compatibility and Extensibility, Part 3 of ISO/IEC 29500) and how it has been used to enable interoperability between various versions of the standard and its implementations.
There are several other strategies that have also been used to address this challenge in document formats:
- A standard may allow foreign markup to appear inline. This gives implementers the freedom to innovate in any way they'd like, but it also means that documents can't be validated against the published schemas in the standard. Removing the foreign markup is a necessary first step, and this can be difficult to do efficiently in some programming environments, or may be handled inconsistently across multiple implementations.
- A standard may have defined extension points: places in the schema where an implementer can add non-standardized content to address new requirements, perhaps in the context of an xsd:any element in an XML schema. This approach makes it possible to validate the document against the schemas in the standard, but innovation can only occur in the places where extension points are defined.
- A standard may not allow any extensions at all, and all innovation must occur through the standards maintenance process. This solves the validation problem, but is not always a realistic approach because of the slow pace of standards maintenance.
MCE is designed to address the limitations of some of these alternative approaches, and it has shown great promise for the types of issues that arise in the evolution of document formats. Each implementer can create their own MCE-based extensions, and documents containing those extensions can be gracefully handled by products that support varying sets of extension functionality (or none at all). MCE is not an unproven theory, but rather an approach informed by the things Office engineers learned from many years of dealing with these same sorts of issues in the binary file formats. We used MCE for all of the new innovations in Office 2010, and this has enabled interoperability between Office 2010 and other applications that don't have that new functionality, as covered in the attached whitepaper. (For further information on Office's use of MCE, see also the Microsoft Office File Formats Documentation on MSDN.)
As time goes on, of course, any new features used by more than one implementation should probably be integrated into the standard. The question of how and when to standardize these is one that WG4 have been discussing a lot this year. In October, the Japanese National Body submitted a proposal for a new multi-part standard containing standardized MCE-based extensions to IS 29500. Allowing standardized extensions inside MCE will permit implementers of the core IS 29500 standard to remain conformant while still allowing new features to be standardized.

In fashion, a drop shoulder is a seam line that hangs down from the shoulders to form a sleeve. Fitted shirts and tops have sleeves that start with shoulder seams, but in the drop-sleeved look this is never the case. The dropped shoulder lines on garments may result in short or long sleeves depending on how the fabric is cut. The drop shoulder sleeves may be left in one piece or fabric may be added on to create a two-piece sleeve.
For instance, the lantern sleeve has a very short drop shoulder upper part and a wider lower section of fabric added on to it. The resulting look is a two-piece boxy sleeve that is still usually quite short in length. Sleeves typically found on medieval-style costumes are an example of two-piece dropped shoulder looks that are very long. The shoulder seam is usually only slightly dropped from the natural line of the shoulders, while the sleeve width is narrow and elegantly tapered. A horizontal seam close to the elbow starts off a second, narrowly tapered sleeve section that is gently gathered so the fabric flows out onto the hands.
A basic one-piece drop shoulder look is considered the easiest when sewing or knitting. A simple square of fabric or knitted work only needs to be sewn at the upper shoulders and sides to create a top with a naturally dropped sleeve. Since the look is plain, it works best with textured knits and patterned fabrics. The natural dropped shoulder look is known as a dolman or batwing sleeve when it tapers to the wrist.
The drop shoulder sleeve is especially popular in men's, women's and children's casual tops. Sweatshirts, sweaters and T-shirts often have dropped shoulders to complement their loose, comfortable fit. The off-shoulder style can be part of a ladies' summer or evening wear look in which the shoulders of a halter or spaghetti strap top are dropped down to leave the shoulder bare.
Dropped shoulder kimono sleeves are extremely wide. This drop sleeve type can be found on bathrobes as well as women's silk tops. A drop shoulder, kimono-sleeve silk top with a self-tie belt can look elegant with trousers and high-heeled sandals.
Dropped shoulder styles are flattering to most figure types. They can balance out a pear-shaped body that is narrower on top and wider in the hips. Longer drop shoulder sleeves can also hide thick or flabby arms. Full, proportionate and slim body types can all be flattered by dropped shoulder seams, but care should be taken to choose the most flattering sleeve width depending on each individual's height and personal sense of style.

I'm not surprised that medieval-style clothing had a drop shoulder. As the article said, it is the easiest kind of sleeve to knit or sew. In the medieval times, people made all of their own clothes, so it stands to reason that they would choose the easiest type of sleeve to make!
My mom sews, and from what she tells me, some of the other sleeve types are very time consuming. Especially a cap sleeve, which is actually bigger than the armhole. You have to ease it in and gather it in places, and you definitely don't need to do this when you have a drop shoulder. Everything just matches up!

@starrynight - I agree that a drop shoulder top isn't flattering for everyone. However, I happen to look pretty good in them, so I have a lot of kimono sleeve tops and dresses.
Kimono sleeves were very popular for a few years, so I stocked up while I could find them! They seem to come in and out of style every few years, so I didn't know if I would be able to find kimono sleeve the next season.
However, it does seem like plain drop shoulder tops are always available, so I guess you're in luck if you like that style.
Post 1
I'm a knitter, but I've never made a drop shoulder top. I must admit, I completely hate the look. And it looks awful on me! It might be easy to make, but it definitely isn't worth taking the time to make something I will never, ever wear.
Instead of going the easy route with a drop shoulder design, I made a raglan sweater for my first sweater. Yes, it was a bit more complicated than just making some rectangles. However, it was well worth it to create a flatter sweater that I now wear all the time!

We tend to agree that "the greatest show on earth" is a cliché that doesn't really describe Trinidad's Carnival at its core… A more accurate term capturing the revellery of Carnival Monday and Tuesday might be "the world's greatest street party!"
But if you're new to Trinidad Carnival, know that most everything else you've heard about it is true. Yes, people dance and party in the streets for two days straight. People let loose for weeks before the dancing and partying in the streets on Carnival Monday and Tuesday. Yes, it's the mother of West Indian-style carnivals throughout the Americas and beyond. You can get a taste of the experience in New York, Toronto, London and other Caribbean strongholds the world over, but you won't know true Trini Carnival experience until you return to the source. And yes, love it or hate it, it is a uniquely Trinidadian experience you are unlikely to forget.
In context
The origins of Trinidad Carnival date back to the 1780s and lie in a unique interaction between Africa and Europe. The descendants of West African slaves and French planters both brought their traditions of masking and street processions across the Atlantic, and have evolved and been recreated on Trinidadian soil for over 200 years. From intimate masked balls and sugar cane harvest processions during the colonial era, it has evolved in to a world-class festival with more events during the course of the Carnival season than anyone could even hope to attend. Click here for more on the birth and evolution of the festival.
De winin' season
They call it the soca switch. It used to be from Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) that radio stations across the islands would switch from Christmas music (or whatever they were playing) to Carnival music. But these days, with Carnival band launchings starting as early as July, and soca artists unveiling their big Carnival tunes months before at carnivals in the diaspora, it seems that Carnival is ever-present. It's no wonder, then, Trinidadians are accused of having a "Carnival mentality".
Nevertheless, it's after Christmas that Carnival fêtes featuring the biggest soca stars begin in earnest. The radio and television airwaves are dominated by the latest soca, calypso and pan tunes, while would-be masqueraders embark on gruelling fitness regimens to build up their stamina and physiques for the wining season.
This is also when the competitions begin for steelbands, calypsonians, soca singers, limbo dancers, stickfighters, costume designers, traditional Carnival characters, and Carnival Kings and Queens. These showcase the best practitioners of our Carnival arts.
Warming up: the week before
The excitement builds the week before Carnival, with wall-to-wall fêtes, events and competitions. Early on "Fantastic Friday" morning, stickfighters, moko jumbies and a cast of actors and dancers descend on east Port of Spain to re-enact the Canboulay Riots. In the early afternoon, traditional Carnival characters take the spotlight in Port of Spain. And as 9pm hits, some of the biggest soca stars begin to vie for the Soca Monarch crowns.
The streets belong to the children on Carnival Saturday for Kiddies Carnival at the Savannah; some of the finest costume designs are seen right there. Once night falls, steelbands clash at Panorama, the greatest showcase for the instrument anywhere in the world.
Sunday – Dimanche Gras – is reserved for two of the hallmarks of Carnival: the breathtaking costumes of would-be Kings and Queens of Carnival, and the race for the Calypso Monarch crown.
The climax: Carnival Monday & Tuesday
From 4am Monday morning, scores of people chip and slither through the streets of the country's cities, covered in paint, grease and mud. This is J'ouvert, with traditional Carnival characters like jab jabs, blue devils, and bats, alongside those in outrageous costumes – or just old clothes. Once the sun comes up, most stagger into bed to sleep off the high (natural or induced). This is J'ouvert:
Around 11am the action picks up again as thousands flock into Port of Spain to meet their band (or the one they intend to crash). Almost no one is in full costume, though – the joy is in just being in the streets, with music and merriment continuing well after dark.
Tuesday starts early, and bands typically dance along specific routes between judging posts, where adjudicators choose the next Band of the Year.
Some with less energy crash at sundown, but others keep following the huge music trucks until Last Lap. It is only then, or perhaps on the beach the next day (a post-Carnival tradition), that you can finally permit sleep to come.
Schedules & information
- National Carnival Bands Association: 628-3143
- National Carnival Commission: 627-1357
- Pan Trinbago: 623-4486
- Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisations: 623-9660

Bloody Shiloh
Before leaving Corinth, Miss., and advancing on Union forces at Shiloh, General Albert Sidney Johnston ordered local woodworkers to begin work on 500 coffins for soldiers who would be killed in battle. By the time the fighting at Shiloh was over, Johnston and a combined 3,502 Union and Confederate soldiers gave their lives in this epic struggle.
On Apr. 6, 1862, Johnston was determined to take the attack to Major General Ulysses S. Grant. Johnston planned to attack Grant before his forces could unite with the approaching army of Major General Don Carlos Buell.
Before sunrise, Colonel Everett Peabody sent out a patrol to investigate reports of Confederate activity nearby. A patrol of 300 soldiers from the 25th Missouri Infantry clashed with the entire Army of the Mississippi at Fraley Field, bringing about the battle of Shiloh.
Johnston and General P. G. T. Beauregard arrived at Fraley field as the fighting ensued. Johnston decided to lead from the front, leaving Beauregard in the rear to ferry troops forward as he saw fit. As he rode toward the front, Johnston told his officers, "Tonight we will water our horses in the Tennessee River."
The Confederate attack caught many of the Union leadership by surprise. Brigadier General William T. Sherman, who had openly berated Colonel Jesse Appler days before for his insistence that the Confederates were close, busied himself with rallying his troops.
Some Union officers and enlisted men panicked, dropping their arms and racing toward safety at the Tennessee River. For many soldiers on both sides, Shiloh was the first time they had experienced combat or "saw the Elephant."
Many of Johnston's soldiers stopped in the abandoned Union camps to grab food cooking on campfires. The Confederates also discarded their old muskets for more modern rifles dropped by fleeing Union soldiers.
While some Federals fled, others made a stand. Brigadier Generals W. H. L. Wallace and Benjamin Prentiss rallied their divisions near a weathered farming path. For the next several hours, Confederates made repeated frontal assaults on this position but was repelled each time with great losses of life.
One Confederate soldier claimed the bullets were flying like a nest of angry hornets; therefore this defensive position became known as the Hornet's Nest. It was only after Brigadier General Daniel Ruggles aligned more than 50 cannon to pound the Hornet's Nest that the Confederates were able to advance and surround the position. Prentiss surrendered and Wallace was mortally wounded and left on the field.
Johnston personally led an attack against the Union line near Sarah Bell's peach orchard. Johnston was wounded near his right knee. Tennessee Gov. Isham Harris, after returning from relaying orders from Johnston, saw the pale Johnston reel in his saddle. Harris asked the general if he was wounded, Johnston replied "Yes, and I fear seriously."
Taken to a place of safety behind a hill, Johnston died on the battlefield. The bullet had hit an artery causing Johnston to bleed to death. If a tourniquet had been applied, Johnston could have lived but he had dispatched his surgeon to care for Union soldiers. Command of the Confederate army fell to Beauregard.
By the end of the first day, Grant and his Army of the Tennessee were precariously holding a line near the Tennessee River. Throughout the night, Union gunboats pounded Confederate positions during a drenching rain. The miserable night was made even worse as Confederate soldiers witnessed hogs from local farms rooting around wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
Grant sat in the rain under a tree whittling a piece of wood. Sherman approached his friend, saying, "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant looked up and replied, "Yes, lick 'em tomorrow though."
During the night, Brigadier General Lew Wallace's lost division, as well as, Buell's Army of the Ohio arrived at Shiloh. Wallace joined Grant's defensive line and Buell's forces were ferried across the Tennessee River. The following day, Grant had a larger army with fresh troops to face the exhausted Confederates.
On Apr. 7, 1862, Grant's forces began the attack, pushing back the stubborn Confederate defenders and gradually retaking ground lost the day before. Although the Confederates made a gallant stand, it was evident to Beauregard and the foot soldiers that they could not repeat the effort of the previous day.
In the afternoon, Beauregard called for a retreat and the Army of the Mississippi returned to Corinth. The fallen Johnston's body would fill one of the coffins he ordered built days before.
Up to that time, the battle of Shiloh was the most horrific battle of the Civil War. Sadly, the number of dead, wounded and missing at Shiloh would easily be surpassed at the future battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and Chickamauga.

I love eggs. They are what I consider a paleo superfood. I go for omega3 enhanced free range eggs when I can, and boy do I love them. What's not to love? They are full of protein, and nutritious fat. They taste great. And I don't care what you say, they go well with anything.
An old favourite. I made this other the weekend as I had more time for breakfast. We got 3 poached eggs, 3 scrambled eggs (don't ask why, I just like making a bit of both) some tasty organic bacon and an organic chicken sausage.
Next a quick dinner I made. This was after a 24 hour fast and an intense gym session. I scrambled up 5 eggs in butter, then put some bacon in a pan and fried it up. Not wanting to waste the bacon oil, I got whatever vegetables I could find (mushrooms, capsicum, onion and some garlic) and fried it all up.
Then there is always the add egg to anything else formula. I.e Steak with asparagus, spinach and potato + Egg concoction.
So as you can see I am a big proponent of eggs.

When it comes to weight loss, many companies will try to sell you a golden ticket. An easy, one size fits all method that is sure to be the solution to all of your diet complications. But how often do those diets actually work? Truly, what is the success rate? Will following an all protein diet really help you lose a substantial amount of weight in 4 weeks? Will you really perform better, have a better social life, and be your happiest, all while keeping the weight off? Or have you been sold a program that will never lead you to the results you truly desire?
The truth behind most diets is that they are trying to sell you an end result rather than teach you how to properly get the results. This allows the company to keep power over the consumer. Selling and reselling a miracle diet that is designed to produce sales rather than to empower their clients.
Knowledge is power. Understanding the science behind how to lose weight is crucial to your success. Knowing what works and doesn't work for you and understanding why, allows you to have complete control over your results.
The Psychology of Dieting
When starting a diet it is important to ask yourself two things:
1) Am I ready to be completely dedicated to a diet for about 9-12 weeks?
2) Am I willing to accept that this is a long-term process (with scheduled periods on and off of the diet) that will not get me the results I desire overnight?
If you can honestly accept those two statements than you are ready to begin. If not, you may need to reevaluate your end-goal. The bottom line is you will never be able to get the results you desire and keep them from a crash diet. Slow and steady will always win out.
How Long Should You Be on a Diet?
The good news is that if you are properly following a diet, you will not have to diet forever. A healthy diet approach follows a method of periodization. Periodization refers to the strategic implementation of specific phases. One of these phases is often referred to as 'dieting' or 'cutting' which refers to a strict period of time that you are looking to lose weight. During that period of time, you should follow a disciplined regimen. When you have followed the cutting phase for 9-12 weeks (unless prescribed otherwise), you should be ready to move on to the next phase of the system. At this point you should feel ready to recover, both mentally and physically.
How to Maintain Weight
In the next phase, whether maintenance or bulking, you are recovering from your diet, both mentally and physically and seeking new goals. You may have noticed at the end of your cut that you felt exceptionally high cravings for sweets and/or all the food you restricted yourself from. This is natural. A maintenance period is designed to help you lower your cravings by adding back in more food that you love and upping your total daily energy expenditure. Maintenance phases are designed to slowly add back in more calories so that your new body weight can adjust to the added calories, without gaining weight in the process.
Maintenance phases are extremely beneficial for long-term weight loss as they help your body recover from the deficit so that you can lose even more weight in the next cutting cycle.
The reason this works is because as you put your body at a caloric deficit for an extended amount of time, your body adapts. Your body responds to a lower caloric intake by using less energy. If you were to continue to lower your caloric intake more and more, eventually you would find yourself at an extremely unsustainable intake that you would still find it difficult to lose weight at. Hence, the common misconception that once you diet, you have to diet forever to keep your results. The truth is your body needs breaks from diets and the chance to recover properly from a deficit. This is why a maintenance period is so crucial in between phases of cutting.
The Important Thing to Remember
Do not rush weight loss. It may take you 2 years to reach your end weight loss goal but you are much better off doing that versus wasting 3 months of your life on a crash diet. At the end of it all, your goal should be to lose weight, keep it off, and live your happiest, healthiest life. Weight loss is a long term goal that takes time, different phases, and most importantly patience. The get rich quick scheme doesn't work. Understanding how your body works is truly the most valuable information you can learn when it comes to dieting.

While nobody has a dragon (assuming) to pimp your ride, you can have the next best thing to a grand entrance worthy of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Go hire a limousine for and get ready for a fancy arrival.
A popular choice for wedding send-offs and transporting VIPs around town, a rented limo is also a great way to enjoy the best that life has to offer. Whether it is to pick up your date at the Waterfront Suites, a graduation car pool for your child and the gang, or a luxury road trip around Hawke's Bay wineries and vineyards, you cannot go wrong with a sleek limo.
Getting the Right Limo For Hire
Making that big limo day come true begins with finding a good limo hire company. Ensure that you get the most out of every dollar you pay by checking out these five things:
1. Safety. This is a must for a worry-free travel. The company should have untarnished safety record of transporting clients.
2. Quality fleet. Whether you opt for a classic black Lincoln or a cutting-edge stretched Hummer, the vehicle should be clean, well maintained and in the peak of performance. Old and problematic limos may hamper your travel plans.
3. Impeccable service. Get a fair go with professional, courteous and all-around good chap drivers, and on-time arrivals and add-ons, including some interior arrangements, to make your big day more memorable.
4. Legit. Ask for proof of insurance coverage and the contract detailing the service terms, such as the vehicle type, duration of the trip, number of side trips and pick up date and time. Carry these documents during the trip.
5. Complete communication channels. The company should have a good website, direct lines for customer service and a hotline for emergencies.
A good limo hire company can spell the difference between a swell ride and a dodgy bump. Do your research so you can make an informed decision.

A Sales & Marketing Quick Reference Card is a great tool for demand generation and sales development teams to start prospects and customer conversations off on the right track.
The one page format allows for a lot of key information to be organized neatly, clearly and all on a single page.
A Sales & Marketing Quick Reference Card (QRC) is a one-pager that summarizes four key topics:
- Presenting your company's value proposition
- Summarizing the money statement
- Highlighting the 3-5 high level benefits the technology provides
Opportunity Areas
- Identifying the ideal business environments that may exist in a prospective organization that align with the solution
- Documenting the specific functions and titles that are part of the customer buying process
- Highlighting customers and the specific value that they derived from the solution
Discovery Questions
Asking the fundamental questions to gain insights about the initiative so that a determination of "fit" can be made
Objections Handling
Formalizing responses to the most frequently asked questions that prospects raise
Who Should Use the Sales & Marketing Quick Reference Card (QRC)
– Inside Sales Reps (ISRs), Sales Development Reps (SDRs) and Business Development Reps (BDRs) as they are usually the first voice contact that a prospect has with an organization. The Sales & Marketing QRC should not be thought of as a specific script that is to be recited word for word by an ISR, SDR or BDR. The Sales & Marketing Quick Reference Card highlights the key information around four topic areas with the goal of communicating a consistent message that supports the brand, the value proposition and the core differentiation of the solution. This QRC is a living document that should be face up on an ISR, SDR or BDRs desk as they make outbound and take inbound calls.
Director, Sales Development, "We create a Quick Reference Card for all of our solution areas and our SDR's are trained on the one pager so that each is on-topic, focused and ready to overcome objections with their outbound calls."
– The Demand Generation teams as they need design, develop and execute integrated demand creation programs for specific: markets, business problems and individuals. The QRC is a great source of information the demand generation team needs for targeting, messaging and creating offers. The information in the Ideal Contacts will drive list buys and database pulls for campaigns. The information in the Ideal Project Scenarios section can be used to qualify opportunities to identify those that are closest to the ideal use case that the solution was designed to solve. The information in the benefits delivered allows for customers to be showcased so that prospects may self identify. And, the value proposition and discovery questions provide content that can be used on the website, in emails, landing pages and some of the topics could support a whitepaper, webinar or blog posts.
Director, Demand Generation, "Our process is to create a Quick Reference Card for each integrated campaign that we develop so that are unique selling proposition is clear, our target audience is focused and our forms are aligned with the probing questions."

A University of Virginia music graduate student and composer from the Pacific northwest is working with a fisheries scientist to improve the way migrating salmon are tracked.
It turns out that sound can play a key role in understanding the fishes' movements, using ecological data as the source. UVA graduate student Ben Luca Robertson, and his colleagues at three other institutions, have turned chemical data from salmon migrations into sound, helping people "hear" when the fish move from one river to another toward the ocean. The approach – called sonification – creates an engaging "audio display" to help even untrained listeners interpret large amounts of complex data.
The team presented its findings recently in the journal Heliyon.
As a result of human activities, salmon migration patterns are changing, and the behavior of young Chinook salmon in Idaho's Snake River is rapidly evolving. To understand the changes, researchers need to study their movement patterns in detail, over large geographical areas and short time scales.
One way to track the movement of fish is by studying the chemistry of a balance and hearing organ in the head called an otolith. The fish's movements are recorded as chemical signatures in the otolith throughout the fish's life. The otolith record contains details about where the fish has been and how long it stayed there, but statistical tools don't capture the nuances of movement timing. Visual analysis is too complex to interpret, so the researchers decided to take an audio approach, using sounds to represent movements from location to location over time.
Robertson's role was to help design a sound synthesis application for sonifying the chemical signatures associated with the migrations.
"As a composer, I'm very interested in autonomous systems and the notion of re-embodiment," he said. "This interest has led me to explore alternate tuning systems, which reflect specific phenomenological properties of sound. As traditional instrumentation cannot always accommodate these structures, my work often necessitates designing new instruments or technologies, and sonification is another tool for re-embodying alternate modalities in my own creative practice – in this case, data derived from biological systems."
Robertson collaborated on the project with a former music professor at Eastern Washington University, Jonathan Middleton, and with the study's lead author, Jens Hegg, who was at the time of the study a water resources Ph.D. student at the University of Idaho.
The team tested their approach by presenting the sounds in a survey to untrained listeners. They asked the listeners to identify movements, with an increasing number of fish. The results showed that the listeners were most sensitive to changes in pitch and tone and that they performed better as a group than individually.
The researchers also presented the sonifications with and without data visualizations, such as graphs. The listeners identified movements better without those visual aids, suggesting that sound alone is a more effective way to convey salmon migration data.
The results, Robertson said, suggest that sonification could be a useful way to process data for crowdsourcing. The approach might also translate to other areas of ecology as the researchers work on refining their approach and creating new sound tools to explore the detailed data from otoliths.
As to why he, as a composer, got involved with the project, Robertson said, "I was born and raised in the inland Pacific Northwest. Both the landscape and wildlife of the region are very close to my heart and, in turn, my music."

GM's OFFICE: Failure to thrive
By Ray Murphy @RayHQ June 22nd, 2018 9:00am
I last wrote about my portfolio of teams back in early April, when I detailed some of the "getting to know you" process that makes April such a tough month to navigate.
I'm happy to report that the teams I drafted this spring are doing pretty darn well as we approach the season's halfway point.

Capitalize On Dodgers' Mistake In 10th
Send a link to a friend
[April 23, 2014]
LOS ANGELES — A defensive miscue
cost the Los Angeles Dodgers a victory on Tuesday night.
Dominic Brown's RBI double in the 10th inning lifted the
Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 win over the Dodgers before a crowd
of 44,826 at Dodger Stadium.
"On the defensive side of it, obviously it's become a frustration
for us," Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly said of his club, which
has committed 20 errors in 21 games. "We've talked about it the last
two days. We've had a number of balls that should have been caught.
We've just got to get better. We're not going to do anything if we
don't play better defense."
Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz reached second on a Dodgers error when
Carl Crawford misplayed a fly ball that he and shortstop Hanley
Ramirez converged on in shallow left with one out in the 10th. Brown
drove Ruiz home with a double into the gap in left-center field off
reliever J.P. Howell (1-2) for the tiebreaking run.
"Anything can happen," said Ruiz, who slammed his bat to the ground
before running to second. "That was the difference in the game."
Antonio Bastardo (3-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory and
Jonathan Papelbon picked up his sixth save.
"Very good win. The bullpen was outstanding," Philadelphia manager
Ryne Sandberg said.
Los Angeles (12-9) tied the score at 2 with two outs in the seventh.
Dee Gordon lined an A.J. Burnett pitch to center in what appeared to
be a routine single. However, Gordon used his speed to beat Ben
Revere's throw from center for a one-out double. Gordon, who went
2-for-3 with two steals in the game to give him 12 overall, stole
third and scored on pinch-hitter Justin Turner's single to left.
That chased Burnett, who worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and
six hits with five strikeouts and one walk. Burnett, who had lost
his last four starts at Dodger Stadium, also had a career-high three
hits in three at-bats.
"That's baseball. That's how it goes sometimes," Burnett said. "It's
a long season, but we've got a streak going right now. To be .500,
it's good because we've had some close games we should have won."
Sandberg said, "(Burnett) mixed his pitches well and he was solid.
He really grinded it out and battled."
Hyun-Jin Ryu had his scoreless string of innings snapped at 18 when
he gave up two runs in the fifth. It was the first time he had been
scored upon since April 4, when the San Francisco Giants tagged him
for eight runs (six earned).
[to top of second column]
Against Philadelphia, Ryu gave up two runs and nine hits in six
innings. He struck out three and walked two (one intentional) on 106
pitches, 68 for strikes.
Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez was 0-for-3 with a walk,
ending his 16-game hitting streak.
Revere went 4-for-5, tying a career best four hits for the eighth
time. He also had his sixth steal.
"Ben had a very good day swinging the bat," Sandberg said. "It was a
very good win, a well-pitched game, good defense and some timely
hitting. We did have some opportunities early, but to finally break
through in the fifth (was big)."
The Phillies (10-10) got back-to-back singles by Burnett and Revere
to open the fifth. Right fielder Marlon Byrd's RBI double to left
with one out scored Burnett before first baseman Ryan Howard
followed with a sacrifice fly to left to bring home Revere for a 2-0
Dodgers catcher Tim Federowicz led off the bottom of the inning with
a double to left and advanced to third on Ryu's sacrifice. He scored
on Crawford's sacrifice fly to center to slice Philadelphia's lead
to 2-1.
NOTES: Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw threw a bullpen session before
the game. If he does not encounter any setbacks, Kershaw is
scheduled to pitch a minor league rehab assignment on Friday.
Kershaw has been on the 15-day disabled list since March 23 with a
teres major strain. ... Los Angeles C A.J. Ellis, out since April 6
after surgery on his left knee, performed throwing and catching
drills before the game. ... With his home run on Monday night, 1B
Ryan Howard joined Mike Schmidt and Dale Murphy as the only visiting
players to go deep in nine straight seasons at Dodger Stadium. ...
Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke received his 2013 Silver Slugger before the
game. ... Dodger IF Dee Gordon celebrated his 26th birthday.
