text: How To Car Tech Do You Need a GPS Antenna? Active vs. passive GPS antennas Share Pin Email Print Moment Open / GettyImages Car Tech Basics Guides & Tutorials Installing & Upgrading Tips & Tricks Key Concepts by Jeremy Laukkonen Jeremy Laukkonen is tech writer and the creator of a popular blog and video game startup. He also ghostwrites articles for numerous major trade publications. Updated October 02, 2019 Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation systems work by receiving signals from satellites, and that isn't possible without some kind of antenna. The reason you usually don't see any sign of an antenna when you look at a GPS unit is that most of them have antennas that are either hidden inside or built right into the case. In addition to built-in antennas, many GPS devices also have the option to use an external antenna. While it usually isn't necessary to install an external GPS antenna, there are cases where it can help. Who Needs a GPS Antenna? If you've been using a GPS unit for a while, and you've never noticed any signal loss or accuracy issues, then you probably don't need any kind of external antenna. The only real exception is if you plan on driving somewhere you've never been before, in which case differing conditions in the new location could make an antenna necessary. If, on the other hand, you have experienced issues like signal loss or poor accuracy with a GPS unit, then the chances are pretty good that an external GPS antenna could be worth the purchase price. It really comes down to two things: the quality of the internal antenna that your GPS unit came with and the specific obstructions that you're dealing with. The other possible situations involve switching from a portable GPS unit to an in-dash unit or buying a brand new GPS device for the first time. In cases like these, it can pay to ask around if anyone in the area has had signal or accuracy issues with their GPS units before making an investment. Effects of Obstructions and Interference on GPS Reception GPS navigation devices function by receiving signals from a network of satellites that are part of the Global Positioning System. By taking the direction and signal strength of multiple satellites into account, the GPS device is able to reliably calculate its physical position with a relatively small margin of error. When a GPS device doesn't have a clear view of the sky due to an obstruction, it may be unable to locate enough satellite signals, which may result in either a total failure to operate or degraded accuracy. This can be caused by things like tall buildings, but the roofs (and often windows) of cars and trucks also create obstructions that can degrade GPS signal strength. The effects of obstructions can often be mitigated by placing a GPS locator in a window, but some vehicles are harder to deal with than others. For instance, metal roofs create more of an RF shield than ragtops, and tinted windows can include tiny metal particles that can also block the GPS signal. Internal vs. External GPS Antennas Most GPS navigation devices come with internal antennas that work just fine when presented with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. However, these internal antennas are inherently less capable than larger external antennas, which can be either passive or amplified. In the case of amplified external antennas, GPS signal strength can be nearly doubled versus an unpowered antenna. If you find that your GPS unit sometimes fails to obtain a signal, or if it seems inaccurate at times, then an external antenna will usually fix the problem. It's cheaper and easier to try moving the unit around in your car first, since that may help alleviate obstruction and interference issues, but you may find that the only viable solution is to install an amplified external antenna. Passive vs. Amplified GPS Antennas External GPS antennas can be either passive or amplified. Passive antennas simply receive the GPS signal and pass it on to the GPS navigation device, while active units include a powered amplifier that boosts the power of the signal. The latter is typically more expensive and more difficult to install, but it can also be installed further away from your GPS unit than a passive antenna can. In most cases, a passive antenna should be installed with no more than three feet of coaxial cable between it and the GPS unit. Since active antennas can be installed much further away, they are better suited for use with larger vehicles. Continue Reading

TONIC: Dropping Acid Cherry
Tangy Montmorency cherries permeate this tonic, giving it a delicious, rich texture, which can be drizzled over fruit, cheese, meat or chicken. Of course, it can always be used for a salad dressing, but we think you'll find it much more exciting if you mix it with soda or alcohol for a unique, refreshing drink.

Strategic Planning: Map Your Strategy
Seeing your whole strategic plan — the relationships and dependencies — can be difficult, but doing so is necessary to make sure that your company sees the big picture. Unlike financial plans, with income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, no common or uniform elements exist for describing a company's strategic plan. That's where a strategy map may come in handy. A strategy map has several purposes:
To evaluate and make visually explicit the organization's perspectives, strategic objectives, and goals
To visualize the fundamental relationships between each goal
To connect employee learning and internal processes to customer value and financial goals
A benefit of strategy maps is that everyone from the top of the ranks to the bottom can see how he fits into the company. In fact, you can color code the different goals by the department that's responsible to show how each department fits into the overall direction. See the figure for an example of a strategy map and how to read it and evaluate your strategy. You're looking for linkages and interdependences. If you have an unsupported goal, it won't be achieved. You should be able to draw at least one arrow, or cause and effect relationship, between one goal and the next.
Look at the figure as you read the following example. This company can establish the link between high profits and improved sales training as follows:
If we improve our technical and service skills by sending our staff to continued education classes at least once a year, our staff continues to be highly trained.
If the people in our staff are highly trained, they become problem solvers instead of order takers.
If they're problem solvers, we're increasing the perceived value for services provided by regularly adding value to our customers.
If we continue to add value to the services we provide, revenue increases through improved sales.
Every goal doesn't need to link to every other goal. But you do need to make sure that every goal is connected to at least one other goal. For example, if your goal is to increase overall efficiencies, but you don't list a goal for time management or productivity training or improving your internal process, you won't increase efficiency. Naturally, just stating something doesn't mean that it happens.
Create your strategy map on a piece of paper and sticky notes first and then transfer the notes into a Word document, using the draw toolbar or a graphic layout program. Use the following steps as a guide to create your map, but don't feel like you have to follow them exactly.
Write your vision statement at the top of the page.
Draw four horizontal rectangles — one for each of the four perspectives of your organization: financial, customer, internal business processes, and employee learning — stacked on top of each other under your vision.
Place your three-year strategic objective in the top area of each perspective the objective is associated with.
Space the goals out so you have enough room for the next step.
Put your one-year goals on individual sticky notes or in circles under each associated three-year goal.
Make sure that the one-year goal supports the three-year goal that it's under. If not, move it to where it does fit.
After all the goals are on your map, draw arrows between the goals to indicate the cause and effect relationship between them.
A great way to start this is to look at your financial goal and ask what causes the goal to happen. Go through this type of questioning for each goal except in the area of employee learning because everything stems from your employees.
Take a hard look at your strategy map to make sure that all goals are supported and that they're all integrated.
Congratulations! You now have a strategy map for your organization.
If you're working on a white board, flip charts, and so forth, be sure to take photos of your finished work. You may need them later!

Effective December 23, 2016, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will increase the fees that must be submitted with the majority of its immigration forms. The USCIS fee increases, which were finalized in an announcement yesterday, can be found in a final rule published in the Federal Register. Applications and petitions postmarked or filed on or after December 23, 2016, must include these new fees or USCIS will reject your submission.
During the early summer of 2016, USCIS announced fee increases would be coming. The USCIS fee increases became official yesterday. Fees increased by a weighted average of 21 percent for many forms. While fees for some forms increased only modestly, fees for other forms such as Form N-600 ballooned by 95 percent. Continue reading

Natural remedies for Depression.
St. John's wort is maybe the most well-known herb for treating depression.
Various studies show St. John's wort(Hypericum perforatum) significantly improves depression and relieves anxiety after taking it four to six weeks. Capsules containing 300 mg taken three times per day are great for depression. Side effects from St. John's wort are very rare. St. John's wort tea or tincture can also be used if you grow it in your garden and make the preparations out of fresh plants.
In rare cases, taking higher doses of St. John's wort than recommended for prolonged periods may cause sensitivity to sunlight,a rash may result from exposure to sun. Avoid cheese, red wine, yeast, and pickled herring if taking St. John's wort.
And don't use along with prescription antidepressants without consulting an expert botanical prescriber. Don't take St. John's wort if you're pregnant, since this is a time for extra caution, even though this herb is probably safe.St John's wort is maybe one of the best Natural remedies for Depression.
Eating healthy is very important for preventing and treating depression. Our brain needs nutrients to make essential chemicals called neurotransmitters. Vitamin B is essential, especially B6 and folate. Sunflower seeds are rich in B6 while vegetables such as asparagus, citrus fruits, beets, spinach, and other dark greens are packed with folate.
Pumpkin seeds give us the required dose of the amino acid tryptophan, which in the brain promotes the synthesis of a neurotransmitter called serotonin. If you have Normal levels of serotonin you will feel calm.
Essential oils
Scented geranium, lavender, angelica, chamomile, mint, and rosemary are all good choices. Infusing their essences into massage oil is one great way to beat depression.
Ginkgo biloba helps our brain to make certain neurotransmitters, which may reduce depression. Studies has shown a standardized extract was helpful for elderly, depressed persons who also had dementia.
These are just few Natural remedies for Depression.

Good morning Murderers! I hope this cold wintry day finds you warm and fulfilled. Let me say this is not going to be a cheery post but it will be a rather necessary one.
Recently, my family and friends have been experiencing a lot of loss. My kids especially have been hard hit. It hurts to lose someone and it hurts just as bad when someone you love loses someone.
Having said that, do you have plans for your digital world if you should leave the real one?
For an author, with content galore, who is going to carry on for you should you pass away?
I haven't done anything about this yet but you can bet I will soon. I mean, I have books, and blog posts, and videos, and audio files that must be protected, carried on, and in some cases, taken down.
Don't make your online life another thing that a family member has to figure out how to fix. Just go on out there and make some kind of contingency plan for what will happen to your online profile.
Facebook recently posted an article about what to do with your FB stuff. And I am sure other sites have info as well.
I am going to go get arrangements made for this myself so don't feel like you are alone. It is a necessary thing folks. We all must die at some point and it would be a total shame for all of our content to die with us - but if that is what you want, then you totally should make sure it is planned.
Have a blessed day, Murderers. Make it count.

Lance was born and raised in Fort Wayne and has lived in Fort Wayne his entire life, other than a short stint in Kansas City after college. Lance played Little League for PAL at the Fraternal site first behind WANE-TV and then at the Elks Country Club (his dad was president of the league when they built the field at the Elks and moved). He also played Wildcat Baseball at Franke Park, where he credits his Wildcat coach there, Mark Henry, with keeping alive his passion for the game even when he wasn't "very good." He went on to play in high school, junior college (team was ranked in NJCAA and went to the JC World Series), and four-year college. Lance then moved back to Fort Wayne, where he played for Leo and Joe Ochoa on the Blackie's Corral / La Margarita, Stan Musial teams. He played on the Blackie's team that was the first Stan Musial Team from the city of Fort Wayne to win the Stan Musial State Title.
Lance began his baseball coaching career at Bishop Luers as an assistant coach in 1982. In 1984, Coach Hershberger was named the fourth head baseball coach at Bishop Dwenger High School. In 1986, the Saints went 27-4, finishing the regular season with 17 straight wins and ranked sixth in the state (still in a single-class format). Coach Hershberger was named IHSBCA Regional Coach of the Year and The Journal Gazette Regional Coach of the Year. His 1987 Dwenger team was ranked 2nd in the state preseason and went on to win a sectional championship before losing in the regional championship.
During this time coaching baseball, Lance was also a teacher, a high school basketball coach for 13 years, and a long-time Wildcat Baseball League Director at Hamilton Park in Fort Wayne. In 1988, Coach Hershberger was featured for his work in both an article on the Wildcat League in Sports Illustrated magazine and an Assignment America segment on NBC Nightly News.
In 1990, Coach Hershberger started the baseball program at Indiana Tech. The Warriors showed steady improvement by increasing their victory totals each year until winning the NAIA Great Lakes Sectional and qualifying for the regional for the first time in 1996. From 1998 to 2002, Coach Hershberger's teams won five consecutive Great Lakes Regional and Super Regional tournaments, qualifying for the NAIA World Series each of those years. These consecutive World Series appearances are more than any other Indiana college team on any level. The 1998 Indiana Tech team lost in the NAIA Championship, finishing as National Runner-up. Their second place finish along with St. Joseph's NCAA Division II runner-up finish that same year (Indiana Tech beat St Joe 7-6 that year in a regular season game) are the highest finishes by Indiana college baseball teams in a national tournament. The 2000 Indiana Tech team finished third in the NAIA World Series.
During Coach Hershberger's 13 years at Indiana Tech, he was named NAIA Great Lakes Sectional Coach of the Year, Wolverine-Hoosier Conference Coach of the Year four times, and NAIA Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year four times. He also served a term as NAIA Great Lakes Regional Chairman and as an associate scout for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Under Coach Hershberger's guidance, the Warrior Program progressed from one with no baseball facilities at all, to one that included a stadium and indoor facility. Eight former players of Coach Hershberger went on to play professional baseball. Numerous players went on to coach high school and college baseball, including Division I baseball. Coach Hershberger has won more than 600 games at the high school and college level. Coach Hershberger has served in other baseball related capacities in the Fort Wayne area. He has overseen the building or refurbishing of many baseball diamonds in the area. He founded the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne / Coach Pitch Baseball Program.

When potential clients reach out to me about booking a family session I get really excited! I get excited to get to know the family and what makes their family special. People typically book a family photographer once a year at certain times, whether it's the spring, the holidays, or to celebrate a new addition to the family. Or maybe the family books sessions through out the year.
I want to get to know the families briefly on the phone, learn everyone's names, and learn about what the children like to do. It is also important to know how their children typically behave in front of the camera. Some children really love the camera and others might not want anything to do with me. It is always helpful to know this information ahead of time so I can be a match to the family's goals and expectations of their family session.
Once I am able to gather details from the family that will help me capture the connection and tell a story through images, I mention to them what to expect.
Here a few things that I aim to do during your family session.
Here are 3 tips for what to expect during your lifestyle family session:
Have fun
First and foremost, getting your photos should be fun! I know it can be stressful to figure out what to wear, or figure out the best location for your family, but hopefully I can take the stress out of that for you and share ideas for What to Wear. Aside from that, clothing doesn't really matter. What matters is that your family has fun. Have fun!
This family had two young children, that at times were interested in the camera and other times didn't really care that much. It's important that I keep your family close together while you keep your children engaged in fun! This can mean tickling your little guy, or seeing how he can pile up and hug on Mommy. It can also mean allowing your little guy to play with leaves and talk about the color or shape! Or maybe your little girl just wants to he held. I'm there to document that for you!
Follow your Child's Lead
Once we get the important shots out of the way, you know, the ones for the grandparents with everyone looking at the camera, we can relax a little bit. My favorite images are always the ones where we allow the child to naturally explore and get into something he or she wants to do. When we let the child lead the way, they will naturally be motivated to interact and play, and this helps to bring out natural expressions from the child as well.
This little guy would stick with us for a few shots and then wanted to explore nature. He wanted to collect leaves big and small, and he wanted to look at the little bugs crawling on the stone. It was totally fine, we are at a park! Let's have fun and allow me document your child's interest at this age. Let's let them lead the way! Sometimes if your child doesn't really show interest or maybe there is something that you know he or she will like, we can plan an activity.
engage your child in an activity
I was actually photographing Mama and baby girl for a little while when I glanced over and saw this little guy exploring the rocks and the water. Dad was already there supervising for safety so I encouraged Dad to stay close to the little guy and just be with him and that I would photograph them. And that's exactly what happened. I didn't need to set up this activity, it was already going with the two of them. You can see how engaged they were in this activity to find the bugs and look at the water. We didn't really know this ahead of time or before the session that the child would be interested in just that, but the activity naturally unfolded. I love the way they are together and enjoying what they are doing.
I can't wait to meet your family and take unique photos that help to tell your family's story. Check out more images in the family gallery. If you think you may be interested in booking a session, please say hello on this contact form and we can chat!

Life is Nothing But a Crazy Circus
*To see this party featured on Green Wedding Shoes….click here!
Hands down, this was a once in a lifetime experience! Brett and Jenine, two incredibly gracious, humble, and completely genuine people wanted to celebrate their 40th and 30th birthdays in style. As members of the private Napa Valley Reserve winery, they opted for a soiree for themselves and 50 of their closest friends. Jenine, at the time was preganant with their fourth child, which would give them 4 kids under the age of 4 (two of them being twins)…hence the theme for the party "Life is Nothing But a Crazy Circus". The day prior to the party also included a party bus to cart the entire group around for some phenomenal wine tasting and lunch. Brett and Jenine really knew how to take care of their friends!
Then there was the party! I can't even begin to explain how much Jesi Haack knocked the design for this one out of the park, and how flawlessly Amber with The Love Riot planned and implemented everything down to the last detail. The Vau De Vire Society was the highlight of the evening with their unreal circus themed entertainment during the 5-course wine paired meal we all got to partake in. As you will see below, it was a magical night. Thank you Brett and Jenine for letting Amber and I be a part of such a fantastic night. You guys are amazing!

Amazon has managed to score another major victory against Flipkart in India and has successfully brought two of Flipkart's most successful phones to its portal. We're talking about the third generation Moto G and Moto G Turbo, both of which have ended their exclusivity on Flipkart and are now available on Amazon India. It's a major victory for Amazon, since Motorola has been one of the most successful smartphone brands in India in the last few years (third with Lenovo numbers combined, according to the most recent market report), and the Moto G and has played no small part in that success story.
Both the phones are priced under $200 mark, which sees the highest volume movement in the Indian smartphone market. Even after several months post launch, Motorola has managed to keep users engaged in these models by offering a discount of Rs 2,000 on each on the original price tag. Also, with Android 6.0 and features such as 2GB RAM and waterproof body, these phones have managed to stay ahead of the curve, despite recent launches from other players such as Samsung and Xiaomi. Moto G has been a successful brand in India for the last two years and with its availability on Amazon it could help the e-commerce giant cement its position in the Indian market, which is still dominated by Flipkart.
Interestingly, neither of the two phones have gone on sale on Snapdeal, which is another major player besides Flipkart and Amazon in India. It is also worth noting that the recently launched Moto X Force has also been made available on Amazon, while the Moto E has been available on the website for a while now. The move seems to be a part of Motorola's strategy to expand in the Indian market and move beyond offering its products solely on Flipkart to attract a larger user base.

Jurgen Klopp to Liverpool: Everyone thinks he will be a success at Anfield, except one...
Jurgen Klopp is on the verge of becoming Liverpool's next manager, a development that just about everyone asked thinks will be a great success for all involved.
The former Borussia Dortmund is in talks with the club and it's expected they will be able to unveil the German coach by the end of the week.
Here, we take a look at those who've been backing the appointment (and in the course of doing so, whipped Liverpool fans into a frenzy), plus one who is taking a more cautious approach...
Joachim Low, Germany manager...
"I think there are strong parallels between Dortmund and Liverpool with the passion and size of their support.
"I think it is a good fit.
"I'm not party to the negotiations between Liverpool and Mr Klopp, so I don't know how they are progressing, but if an agreement can be reached it will be good for both.
"Mr Klopp, if you look back, was fantastically successful, exceptionally successful at Dortmund. He unleashed a lot of emotion in Dortmund supporters and [he can do the same for Liverpool.]
Mats Hummels, Germany captain...
"There is no doubt he is a fantastic coach, a great coach."
"When people put their minds to the question about what he is going to do post Dortmund, then clubs like Liverpool had to enter the frame.
"He lives, breaths and thinks football day after day. He is a fantastic addition to any side and I will certainly keep my fingers crossed for the next step in his career."
Dietmar Hamann, former Liverpool midfielder...
"I know managers always say they know all about the history and tradition of clubs when they arrive, but no-one can really be expected to know that when they first come in.
"It took me maybe six, 12 months to realise exactly what Liverpool was all about.
"When I went to my first Hillsborough memorial service, I started to think a bit deeper about what this club truly means, and what it represents.
"If he gives himself 12 months to take it all in and understand fully what the club and the fans are all about, then I really do believe he can be an immortal at Liverpool.
"Jurgen is a top-class manager, and he has the passion to connect to the people."
Stefan Effenberg, former Germany international and friend of Klopp...
"Liverpool is one of the greatest atmospheres. It's pretty much the same as Dortmund.
"The fans stay with everything behind the club and this is what Jurgen Klopp likes and what he needs."
Robbie Fowler, former Liverpool striker...
"My personal opinion is he's a very good manager.
I don't know him as a man, I've never met him. Looking at him from an outsider I was impressed with his performances over Germany for Dortmund. That's all it is."
Michael Owen, former Liverpool striker...
"His appointment would certainly excite the Liverpool fans who had become so disillusioned with Rodgers and in this day and age their part in the whole process cannot be over-estimated.
He would bring a burning desire to succeed and to take the club from their true position of 'top six' to right back in the mix for winning the title and where finishing top four is a given every season."
Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool defender...
"It's a difficult job now at Liverpool, getting back into the top four. Forget talking about the title. I think it needs someone with that energy and drive to get the club back to where it wants to be, and I think Jurgen Klopp is that man."
Graeme Souness, former Liverpool player and manager...
"Klopp might be a better fit (than Ancelotti). At Dortmund, they continually lost their better players at the end of each season. So he might be a better fit, coming in and working with younger players."
Jamie Redknapp, former Liverpool midfielder...
"I think that Jurgen Klopp has that aura about him. He has that special something that some managers have.
"I think he could walk into Anfield and the fans would like that. I've got a feeling that he would be the perfect fit for them. The fact that he's available now makes me think they'll go for Klopp.
"Obviously he'll want to bring his own staff in. It's difficult because you do need someone who understands the club and knows the fabric of how the club works. But I would certainly look at Jurgen Klopp."
AND FINALLY ONE WHO'S NOT SO SURE: Oliver Kahn, former goalkeeper and Germany captain...
"The question is always a bit about the language barrier.
"From the technical side of things, there is nothing to think about.
"I'd absolutely trust him to have no big problem with English, but sometimes, as far as motivating a team goes, there are subtleties in the team language and whether he already has those subtleties remains to be seen."

Award winning Bangladeshi restaurant Curry Palace has organised their post-celebration dinner at Curry Palace in Cottenham on Monday. Curry lovers across the Cambridgeshire attended this celebration dinner. On 2nd of November Curry Palace Owner Kosru Miah received the Best Caterers of the Year Award in East Anglia region by Bangladesh Caterers Association BCA. BCA is an umbrella organisation of approximately 12,000 British-Bangladeshi restaurants across the UK. It was established in 1960 to represent the Catering Industry run by the British Bangladeshis. At present, the industry employs more than 90,000 people, with estimated yearly tax revenue of £5.2 billion. BCA Introduced BCA Awards to recognize their member who has given excellent service to the curry industry. For last 9 years BCA Awards has become Curry Oscar of Restaurant Industry.
Curry Palace is in the village of Cottenham, which is 7/8 miles away from Cambridge City. BCA award spotlighted the owner of Curry Palace, Mr. Kosru Miah. Curry Palace is one the best among the top ten restaurants in the UK. The award-giving ceremony was hosted by BBC Masterchef Presenter Greg Wallis at the Grosvenor House.

Mr. Cousins, who is familiar with most of the curry restaurants in the area, is a big curry lover. Curry Palace is the best restaurant of the region because of the hospitality, innovation and professionalism of its staffs. The speciality of Curry Palace is, it prepares dish according to individual choice of the customer, even if it is not in the menu, says Mr. Cousins.
The similar opinion is expressed by another long-standing customer, Ms. Debbie Prince. Ms. Prince says that she has been coming at Curry Palace since its opening. She comes here once or twice a week and usually celebrates birthdays and other events here because the staffs are very accommodating and hospitable. 'Even in rush hours, the people at the restaurant would go out of their way to cater to the special needs of regular customers', Ms. Prince says. She says that the place is crazy at weekends, with people buzzing in at all hours. She also tells that she knew people come to this place from a distance to get a taste of the warm atmosphere and the amazing food.

Everybody wants a turn with Rep. Tammy Duckworth's baby.
The last time the Illinois Democrat's six-month-old was seen in the Speaker's Lobby, Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, D-Va., was showing her off to the congressional press corps and didn't seem particularly inclined to give her back when Duckworth emerged from the chamber.
On Wednesday, Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., was holding court with baby Abigail just off the House floor. Wearing a floral headband and a white sundress, Abigail appeared fussy in Dingell's arms, though she paused in her whimpering to teethe on the congresswoman's pearl bracelet and later on the edge of her voting card. Dingell's fellow freshman, Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., also wanted in on some Abigail time. As Dingell tried to soothe her, Rice tried to distract her with New York Post articles on her tablet.
"How about George Clooney?" Rice asked. "Do you like George Clooney?"
Apparently not. Abigail was still squirming and looking generally distressed, and Dingell left to take the baby for a walk a little ways down the Speaker's Lobby.
By the time Dingell and Rice reunited, it was time to bring the baby back to Mom.
"You want to hold my hand?" Rice asked Abigail, slipping one adult-sized finger into the little girl's tiny fist.
Maybe Rice will get to hold her next time, unless Connolly calls dibs again.

Last week Ben Horowitz of red-hot VC firm Andreessen Horowitz did an excellent post entitled What's the Most Difficult CEO Skill? Managing Your Own Pyschology.
My favorite passage (edited):
Even if you know what you are doing, things go wrong. Things go wrong, because building a multi-faceted human organization to compete and win in a dynamic, highly competitive market turns out to be really hard.
If CEOs were graded on a curve, the mean on the test would be 22 out of a 100. This kind of mean can be psychologically challenging for a straight A student, particularly because nobody tells you that the mean is 22. […]
Being responsible for everything and getting a 22 on the test starts to weigh on your consciousness.
What then, in the imperfect world that happens to be reality, is the job of the CEO?
- To get everything perfect?
- To get what matters right?
I am a huge believer in #2 — the job of the CEO is to get what matters right and, not to put too fine an point on it, the hell with everything else.
I didn't always feel this way. When I joined Business Objects in 1995 after spending a decade at two fairly broken companies, I expected that everything would be perfect. I'd read the S-1 cover to cover. The company was pristine: 5 consecutive years of profitable 100%+ compound annual growth. 70%+ license revenue contribution. An amazing IPO lead by Goldman Sachs. Finally, I thought, I'm going to work at a company that was perfect.
Boy, was I in for a surprise. Without diving into details, on arriving I discovered that there were zillions of things wrong at Business Objects (e.g., think: version 4.0). It was then that I realized it. Business isn't about perfection. It is about getting what matters right. And, boy, was Business Objects good at that.
It's not about the 22 overall grade. It's about getting 100 on the 20% of things that really matter. This, of course, begs the question "what matters?" which is a question of strategy and one that I've already written about here.
The other reason I believe CEOs should focus on getting what matters right (as opposed to everything perfect) is a simple matter of pragmistism. It is impossible to "focus" on getting everything perfect. Everything never will be perfect. CEOs who try to make everything perfect will die trying and probably kill their teams along the way. In some ways, perfecting everything is a form of avoidance of the really hard question ("what matters?") as opposed to the easier questions of "what do I know how to do?" and "what's broken that I can fix?"
It's easy to find things broken at any company. The hard part is figuring out what matters and then making those few, strategic things work. You might get a 22 overall. But you should get it by scoring 100 on the 20% of the test that matters and 2 on the other 80%.
Doing the inverse is what one friend aptly calls "polishing shoes in the ER."

If you are on a line with Scouts you will be expected to work with the PL's within the Troop to ensure that the Troop gets to Bay Jam with the required gear and food and has a fun and successful camp. We will be looking for assistance on the Wednesday for 1⁄2 day to help run the onsite activities and to supervise Scouts travelling to off site activities on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. We expect that BayJam Line Leaders will create their own roster for these activities.
If you are assisting with an activity you will be working offsite at the activity that you are allocated to. You will still be able to camp on site with your home Troop Scouts or in a Leader camping area. If you are not camping with a Troop, Leader catering will be available at a cost still TBD.
As an Adult Leader/Rover/Venturer will I get time off?
If you are a Line Leader you can organise your Troop such that you have time off whilst the Scouts are off site. The off-site activities are Patrol Based and hence the Scouts will be undertaking them as Patrols and Adult Leaders will not need to shadow them. Adult Leaders will be required to assist in supervising travel. and you may be asked to provide some assistance at the activity by those running it.
If you are helping on an off-site actvity you will be free on Wednesday as all the Scouts are on site that day.
Where can I keep my Car/Troop Trailer?
There will be a limited amount of Car/Trailer Parking at Bay Park, so you will be able to keep your car and Troop trailer onsite. You should be able to access your car and head offsite if needed.

Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.
Recycled Polyester
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.

"Some odd people are not meant to fit into the world but to make the world fit us. We are sane only when we embrace our weirdness. We free ourselves to be artists and teachers and preachers. When we refuse to be straightened out, the world bends by small degrees in our direction."
At fourteen, Adam Webb is again sent back to Institute Loiseaux, a school-of-sorts for young mental patients, "clients" rather as the institute insists on using. Adam had already been there twice and is not surprised when he is sent there a third time - the hints have not been missed by his keenly observing mind. This time though, when Happy Harley, the van driver comes to get him, Adam convinces him to let him ride shotgun as they make their way to pick another client - a girl named Francine, who only answers to the name Miss Entropia. The girl however doesn't come easily and once Harley gets her tied at the back of the van, Adam locks all the doors from the inside so that Harley is locked out. This begins a strange kinship and a fiery love relationship between the two that starts with a one-night adventure as they camp out at a mall parking lot, manage to indulge in shoplifting, make possible Adam's first sexual experience, thus resulting in an intense bonding between them.
This story is narrated from Adam's perspective, whose mind makes for a really interesting residence for the reader. Adam is clever, intuitive and sarcastically funny. He successfully second-guesses the drift of other people's thoughts, which makes for very hilarious observations of what's normal and what's not. When Adam's not being as sane as you and me, he is obsessing over the goddess Kali or that most singular and momentous night of his life with Pia. And his obsessions slowly take him to pondering the might and power of the goddess, seeing her in his pancakes, imagining her talking to him and trying to impose his control on people and things. (I noticed the many arms in the cover only when I was writing this review. I can't insist how very apt the cover is - the goddess Kali does have many arms, and it seemed to me how Adam would have approved of it.)
I have to admit - it was very easy to forget Adam's "illness". His is a very easy person to get used to be being with. I loved how this indicated that insanity is a very gray area. The mind can rarely be classified by a black and white scale of normalcy. Besides, Adam was just another teenager pining for love. Most of the time. Pia, the object of his affections, is also highly clever, good at guessing other people's intentions, with her chief weakness being a fascination with fire. Not the harmless kind but the incendiary kind meant to damage and destroy. When her family house is burned out, she is the main suspect, except she keeps insisting that she was at school.
Miss Entropia and the Adam Bomb starts out funny and at some point in between, transforms its tone, giving way to an increasingly dark and disturbing narrative. Adam and Pia do not see each other for three years following the mall parking lot camping, but when Adam does find her again, it results in an addiction in him - for Pia. This time, he wants her to stay with him. As his little secret. I found it interesting how George Rabasa demonstrates the unraveling of Adam Webb's mind. It's really not that obvious - Adam's still funny but it's clear that Pia's presence and actions are unnerving him. Our clever Adam however manages to keep her under his control - not letting her out of his sight, and yet the reader is fooled initially. The control is not what I saw first but one misfit helping the other misfit fit in to a world that really doesn't fit them.
For all the darkness in this novel, it was a very addicting read. Much as Adam disturbed me later, he was a charming person. Pia was just as endearing, even with her attraction to fire and her penchant for adventures with fire and pills. The supporting cast in this book - Adam's father, mother, brother Ted, cousin Iris, make for a motley group who all have their own eccentricities that feel stranger beside Adam's "issues". This book showed well how a normal person can still be strange and how a mentally ill person can be sane.
This was a really wonderful book. Even though Adam's family do not make such a huge impact to the storyline, I wish the book had more to add to their story. Even in spite of the disturbing elements, this is at the core a story of teenage angst and love, featuring a pair of misfits. Add in some mental illnesses, and you have a very interesting drama to read about.

By Mr James Donaldson
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
Articular cartilage is a thin layer of highly specialised tissue that provides a smooth, lubricated surface for joint movement and transmits forces to the underlying bone. Articular cartilage, however, has a limited capacity for healing and repair, which means that once the joint surface is damaged, the subsequent repair is limited. The resultant repair is often with a different type of cartilage – fibrocartilage, which lacks the same biochemical structure as normal articular cartilage and has been shown to break down more rapidly. The injured joint is therefore unlikely to return to its original structure and function, predisposing the patient to premature osteoarthritis.
Articular cartilage damage in the knee is commonly seen in the elderly as part of the degenerative process of arthritis, and can relatively easily be managed with joint replacement surgery when symptoms are sufficiently severe. Articular cartilage damage in the younger population is a far more challenging dilemma with no currently accepted and effective treatment. This can lead to pain, loss of function and an inability to participate in everyday activities. This damage can also lead to further breakdown of the joint resulting in early osteoarthritis. Joint replacement in active, younger patients often gives inferior outcomes and will result in premature implant failure due to the higher demands being placed upon the implant.
The Cartilage Transplantation Unit at the world-renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore has over the last fifteen years pioneered the technique of two-stage cartilage transplant in the United Kingdom. Over 1500 cases have been performed with high success rates, producing healing of the joint, relief of pain and restoration of function. The onset of osteoarthritis, which affects 25% of people over 50, is also delayed, preventing the need for joint replacement. The first stage is a telescopic examination of the knee to take a small piece of normal cartilage which is sent to the cell culture laboratory. This cartilage is then cultured for 4 to 6 weeks to increase the number of cartilage cells. These cells are then transplanted back into the damaged area of the knee by an open operation to develop a new cartilage surface in the joint.
This method has proved very valuable in relieving pain and restoring activity in younger patients. However it requires two operations, it is costly and the rehabilitation period before full activity is long, taking up to 12 months.
More recently, Mr James Donaldson and his colleagues, Mr Richard Carrington and Mr Jonathan Miles, on the Cartilage Transplantation Unit have begun using an exciting and novel single stage procedure involving the patients' own stem cells. Stem cells are initially harvested from the patient's bone marrow in the pelvis using a small needle and are then centrifuged in a specialised machine in the operating room. This provides a concentrated volume of stem cells which, when transplanted and secured back into the knee joint, will give rise to new cartilage cells and repair the damaged part of the joint.
So far the team have performed over 70 procedures with promising short to medium term results. Only one operation and hospital stay are required for the patient, rehabilitation is accelerated and the procedure is more cost effective. The study has commenced at the RNOH for younger patients (under 55 years) with painful knees and cartilage damage. It will also hopefully provide further possibilities for the treatment of other joints such as the hip, ankle and the upper limbs.

When we first sat down we had a pile of MDF pieces which we had to glue together to make a 12 x 12 box and lid - that was a joke and I can tell you, the air inside my head was very blue and occasionally some of it would escape and a naughty word would come out! I wasn't the only one having trouble with it which made me feel a bit better!
Eventually the box was made and we slathered it with moulding paste. Once dry we painted, painted more, grunged up, stencilled etc and the end result is below. I can't tell you how much product we used - we got through gallons of the stuff! I hadn't quite finished mine at the end of the workshop so completed it at home, adding, as an extra, some crackle paste to the topper which I let dry overnight then rubbed a little Antiquing Cream over - after all you can't have too much crackle, can you?
I must say, I arrived home with extremely painty hands and with numerous splatters over my face and neck which hubby thought was very funny :)

How to Identify Prime Numbers
A prime number can be divided by only itself and 1. This makes it stubborn. Like certain people you may know, a prime number resists being placed in any sort of a box. Look at how the number 13 is depicted in the following figure, for example.
Try as you may, you just can't make a rectangle out of 13 objects. (That may be one reason the number 13 got a bad reputation as unlucky.) The composite numbers can all be placed in rectangular patterns.
The number 12 is a composite number because you can place 12 objects in rectangles of two different shapes, as shown above.
Here are all the prime numbers less than 20:
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19
Now here are all the composite numbers less than 20:
4 6 8 9 10 12 14 15 16 18
As you can see, the list of prime numbers fills the gaps left by the composite numbers. Therefore, every counting number is either prime or composite. The only exception is the number 1, which is neither prime nor composite.

Precisely calculate the value of your website's visitors
How do you figure out the value of each website visitor? The value of each surfer will vary depending on what type of products or services they are searching for. Therefore, you must be able to track the value of each search phrase that delivers potential clients to your website.
Measuring the value of each search phrase sounds much more complicated than it really is. Google Analytics can supply you with very detailed reports on traffic from all search engines in a very easy to understand report that is generated by you simply placing a small image tag on each page of your site.
Once the simple piece of Google Analytics code is inserted into your page you will be able to access reports that will show you what searches people come to your site on and where the people coming from each of the searches navigate on your site. By setting up goals and conversion page statuses in Analytics, you can successfully track which phrases are actually driving new customer contacts.
After several weeks the conversion report for your contact form will indicate which keywords are driving the most contacts. These high-performance keywords are the ones that you want to consider when you decide to set a sponsored listings on Google.
Here is an example scenario:
Bob installs Google Analytics on his website and a month later realizes that 24 hits coming to his site from searches on Google for "Evansville window replacement" have driven 4 of the contact form submissions and 1 sale he had received over the past week. He then does a search in Google for "Evansville window replacement" to see where his site is ranking and realizes he's on the middle of Page 2.
After a bit of research following my guide, Bob realizes he can bid $1.45/click on Google Adwords and have his link show up in the first position. After spending $145.00 over 1 week Bob has received 100 sponsored listing clicks from Google for the phrase "Evansville window replacement" and generated 17 new sales information requests from website visitors. Of these 17 requests for information, Bob was able to close 3 deals.
Bob's average profit on each deal was around $200.00. This provided bob with $600.00 of profit from 100 clicks (before backing out the ad send).
Bob's Earnings Per Click (EPC) for the phrase "Evansville window replacement" is $6.00 and his Cost Per Click (CPC) is $1.45.
Bob's expense per initial sales information request: $8.53
Bob's overall average profit per initial sales information request: $35.00
Clearly if bidding on the phrase "Evansville window replacement" is costing $8.53 per lead and backing out to an average of $35 per lead profit you would continue to bid on this word, and possibly shift ad spend from lesser performing phrases to this one.
This ability to precisely measure the return on ad spend is the backbone of sponsored search listings. Because companies typically offer a variety of services they bid on 100s of different search keywords and phrases. In order to maximize your advertising spend you must be able to know which searches are generating you profit and which visits are returning less than you're bidding per clicks.
Installing Analytics is easy and free
It takes only a few minutes to install on a website. The first reports become available 4 hours after the snippet of code is inserted.

Cruz blasts Trump over transgender bathroom debate
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz blasts rival Donald Trump for saying that transgender people should use whichever public bathroom feels appropriate. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz blasted his rival Donald Trump on Saturday (April 23) for saying that transgender people should use whichever public bathroom feels appropriate. Cruz was speaking to a crowd of supporters in Lebanon, Indiana, several days after Trump sided with critics of a controversial North Carolina law that requires transgender people to use government and school bathrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate. Cruz said that as a father of young girls he didn't like the idea of grown men being allowed to enter a bathroom where girls might also be, and told the crowd that even if Trump were to dress up as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton he still should not be allowed to use the girl's restroom.
