Innovations and new trends in floor designs and construction solutions have extensively driven the flooring market. The market is highly competitive with numerous players offering an array of flooring solutions across residential, commercial, industrial and other application segments. The floor covering industry is being inundated by new technology developments and styling trends. In recent times, end users have been deviating from traditional flooring solutions to more cost effective and eco-friendly flooring materials such as cork, linoleum, bamboo, glass, Polyester (P.E.T) Berber, rubber and reclaimed hardwood. Additionally, surging demand in the construction industry along with changing consumer lifestyles and growing demand for insulation are expected to be the key market drivers. Availability of innovative construction solutions that are durable and require low maintenance is expected to impact the market favorably. However, a major determinant for the success of flooring solutions is consumer awareness and willingness of using the product. Besides, perceived complexity with regards to installation of flooring solutions, they are viewed as expensive and luxurious, which could pose a challenge to the market. Increasing concern over environmental impact is expected to significantly affect the textile flooring market. For instance, carpets are treated with toxic chemicals to repel moisture and soil and for mothproofing, which may cause several health issues.
The product segment is broadly categorized in to four types including soft coverings, resilient flooring, non-resilient flooring and seamless flooring. Soft coverings are also known as textile coverings, and mainly comprises rugs and carpets. This segment dominated the market, and accounted for over 50% of the overall market share in 2013.
Global flooring market, by product, (Billion Square Feet), 2012 - 2020
These coverings provide several benefits including noise-reducing effect, dust-binding characteristics and also are known to be good insulators providing warmth, comfort as well as pleasing aesthetics. Resilient flooring is a mixture of color, binders and fillers. Types of resilient flooring include cork, wood, rubber, vinyl, asphalt and linoleum; these are waterproof, cost effective, durable and low maintenance in nature. Non-resilient flooring encompasses ceramic tile, clay tile, concrete tile, terrazzo stone and brick. These floors generally hold up under many conditions, and require only mopping and dusting.
Flooring solutions are used for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Owing to growing demand across the construction industry and increased home improvement and renovation projects, the market for flooring products in residential applications is expected to witness growth over the forecast period. In addition, rise in demand for flooring solutions across the residential segment could be attributed to changing consumer lifestyle and increased consumer disposable income. Commercial applications include healthcare, hospitality and leisure, corporate, education, retail, sports and other sectors. Increasing demand in the construction industry is expected to be the key driving force for the market over the next six years. Industrial applications include automotive industry, manufacturing plants, aviation hangars, refineries, etc.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant market growth on account of developing infrastructure facilities and surging real-estate industry. Further, the region is expected to witness increased demand for residential and non-residential building spaces, which can be attributed to the population growth and urbanization. The region accounted for over 40% of the overall market share in 2013. Europe is also expected to witness substantial increase in market demand over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the availability of innovative construction solutions and easy installation techniques.
Raw material suppliers, manufacturers and distributors play a key role in the industry value chain. Notable companies in the market include Mannington Mills Inc, Mohawk, Gerflor, Armstrong, and Shaw Floors. The market is significantly consolidated with intense competition; technology inovation is expected to be a focal point for market development over the next six years.

Gysbert's Inventory: A Reflection of 1665 Dutch Life
Date(s) - 07/18/2019
9:00 am
The legacy of the Dutch settlers of Wiltwyck lives on at the Matthewis Persen House. The house sits on Kingston's historic "four corners" and was originally owned by Gysbert Van Imbroch. An inventory listing Gysbert's possessions at the time of his death in 1665 is brought to life through illustrations of clothing, kitchen items, and other articles used in 17th century daily life. The inventory also depicts items Gysbert used in his profession as a barber-surgeon as well as his book collection, one of the largest book collections in the New World. Step back in time with Gysbert's Inventory. This exhibit was made possible through a grant awarded to the Ulster County Clerk's Office from the New York State Archives.
The Matthewis Persen House is one of Ulster County's oldest, most significant buildings. Named after its longest residing owner, Matthewis Persen (1739-1819), the House is located within Kingston's Stockade National Historic District. Its earliest portions date from c. 1661 and it is one of four landmark buildings on each corner of John and Crown Streets. Each house at this intersection pre-dates the Revolutionary War.
The Matthewis Persen House is open May 25 – August 31: Tuesday through Friday 9:00 am to 4:30 pm & Saturdays 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Earthquakes strike Japan and Ecuador
OZU, Japan (AP) — The wooden home barely withstood the first earthquake. An even stronger one the next night dealt what might have been the final blow — if not to the house, then to the Tanaka family's peace of mind.
The Tanakas joined about 50 other residents of the southern Japanese town of Ozu who were planning to sleep in their cars at a public park after two nights of increasingly terrifying earthquakes that have killed 41 people and injured about 1,500, flattened houses and triggered major landslides.
"I don't think we can go back there. Our life is in limbo," said 62-year-old Yoshiaki Tanaka, as other evacuees served rice balls for dinner. He, his wife and his 85-year-old mother fled their home after a magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck Saturday at 1:25 a.m., just 28 hours after a magnitude-6.5 quake hit the same area.
Search efforts resumed Sunday morning for about half-a-dozen missing people in debris-strewn communities in a mountainous area near Mount Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that the Defense Ministry is coordinating with the U.S. military in Japan to add U.S. aircraft to the search and recovery effort.
Landslides from Saturday's earthquake have blocked roads and destroyed bridges, making it difficult to access the area east of Kumamoto, a city of 740,000 on the southwestern island of Kyushu.
Overnight rainfall did not appear to cause any more landslides, as had been feared, and the skies had cleared by morning.
About 80,000 homes in Kumamoto prefecture still didn't have electricity Sunday, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said. Japanese media reported that an estimated 400,000 households were without running water.
Kumamoto prefectural official Riho Tajima said that more than 200 houses and other buildings had been either destroyed or damaged, and that 91,000 people had evacuated from their homes.
Hundreds of people lined up for rations at distribution points before nightfall, bracing for the rain and strong winds that were expected. Local stores quickly ran out of stock and shuttered their doors, and people said they were worried about running out of food.
Police in Kumamoto prefecture said that at least 32 people had died from Saturday morning's earthquake. Nine died in the quake on Thursday night.
More than half the deaths were in Mashiki, a town on the eastern border of Kumamoto city that was hit hardest by the first quake.
Japan's Kyodo news agency reported that four people were missing in Minamiaso, a more rural area farther east of Kumamoto where the landslides were triggered by the second quake.
One landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso from the top to a highway below. Another gnawed at a highway, above a smashed house that had fallen down a ravine. In another part of the village, houses were hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.
About 1,500 people were injured in the two earthquakes, said Yoshihide Suga, the Japanese government's top spokesman. He said the number of troops in the area was being raised to 20,000, while additional police and firefighters were also on the way.
In Mashiki, where people were trapped beneath the rubble for hours, an unconscious 93-year-old woman, Yumiko Yamauchi, was dragged out from the debris of her home Saturday and taken by ambulance to a hospital. Her son-in-law Tatsuhiko Sakata said she had refused to move to shelter with him after the first quake Thursday.
"When I came to see her last night, I was asking her: 'Mother? I'm here! Do you remember me? Do you remember my face?' She replied with a huge smile filled with joy. A kind of smile that I would never forget. And that was the last I saw of her," Sakata said.
Japanese TV showed a collapsed student dormitory at Aso city's Tokai University that was originally two floors, but now looked like a single-story building. A witness said he heard a cry for help from the rubble. Two students were reported to have died there.
The area has been rocked by aftershocks. The Japan Meteorological Agency said the magnitude-7.3 quake early Saturday may have been the main one, with the one from Thursday night a precursor.
QUITO, Ecuador
A powerful, 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook Ecuador's central coast on Saturday, killing at least 41 people and spreading panic hundreds of kilometers (miles) away as it collapsed homes and buckled a major overpass.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the shallow quake, the strongest since 1979 to hit Ecuador, was centered 27 kilometers (16 miles) south-southeast of Muisne, a sparsely populated area of fishing ports that's popular with tourists.
Vice President Jorge Glas said in a televised address that there were initial reports of 41 dead in the cities of Manta, Portoviejo and Guayaquil — all several hundred kilometers (miles) from where the quake struck shortly after nightfall. He said the death toll is likely to rise as reports from the worst-hit areas come in.
"We're trying to do the most we can but there's almost nothing we can do," said Gabriel Alcivar, mayor of Pedernales, a town of 40,000 near the epicenter. He pleaded for rescuers as dozens of buildings in the town were flattened, people trapped and looting broke out amid the chaos. "This wasn't just a house that collapsed, it was an entire town."
Among those killed was the driver of a car crushed by an overpass that buckled in Guayaquil, the country's most populous city.
On social media residents shared photos of homes collapsed, the roof of a shopping center coming apart and supermarket shelves shaking violently. In Manta, the airport was closed after the control tower collapsed, injuring an air force official. Hydroelectric dams and oil pipelines in the OPEC-member nation were shut down as a precautionary measure.
President Rafael Correa, who is in Rome after attending a Vatican conference Friday, called on Ecuadoreans to stay strong while authorities monitor events.
He said on Twitter he had signed a decree declaring a national emergency but that the earliest he could get back to Ecuador is Sunday afternoon. He said that there were "dozens of dead" from the earthquake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said hazardous tsunami waves are possible for some coasts. While the government hadn't issued a tsunami alert, Glas urged residents along the coast to move to higher ground and towns near the epicenter were also being evacuated as a precautionary measure. An emergency had been declared in six of Ecuador's 24 provinces, while sporting events and concerts were cancelled until further notice nationwide.
"It's very important that Ecuadoreans remain calm during this emergency," Glas said from Ecuador's national crisis room.
The quake was felt across the border in Colombia, where it shook residents in Cali and Popayan, and Peru briefly issued a tsunami warning.
In the capital Quito hundreds of kilometers away from the epicenter, the quake was felt for about 40 seconds and people fled to the streets in fear. The quake knocked out electricity in several neighborhoods and six homes collapsed but the situation under control and power being restored, Quito's Mayor Mauricio Rodas said.
"I'm in a state of panic," said Zoila Villena, one of many Quito residents who congregated in the streets. "My building moved a lot and things fell to the floor. Lots of neighbors were screaming and kids crying."
The USGS originally put the quake at a magnitude of 7.4 then raised it to 7.8. It had a depth of 19 kilometers. At least 36 aftershocks followed, one as strong as 6 on the Richter scale, and authorities urged residents to brace for even stronger ones in the coming hours and days.
Guayaquil's international airport was also closed because of a lack of communications.
The quake comes on the heels of two deadly earthquakes across the Pacific, in the southernmost of Japan's four main islands. A magnitude-6.5 earthquake struck Thursday near Kumamoto, followed by a magnitude-7.3 earthquake just 28 hours later. The quakes have killed 41 people and injured about 1,500, flattened houses and triggered major landslides.

Grid and Cloud Database Management
- Editors
- (view affiliations)
Since the 1990s Grid Computing has emerged as a paradigm for accessing and managing distributed, heterogeneous and geographically spread resources, promising that we will be able to access computer power as easily as we can access the electric power grid. Later on, Cloud Computing brought the promise of providing easy and inexpensive access to remote hardware and storage resources. Exploiting pay-per-use models and virtualization for resource provisioning, cloud computing has been rapidly accepted and used by researchers, scientists and industries.
In this volume, contributions from internationally recognized experts describe the latest findings on challenging topics related to grid and cloud database management. By exploring current and future developments, they provide a thorough understanding of the principles and techniques involved in these fields. The presented topics are well balanced and complementary, and they range from well-known research projects and real case studies to standards and specifications, and non-functional aspects such as security, performance and scalability. Following an initial introduction by the editors, the contributions are organized into four sections: Open Standards and Specifications, Research Efforts in Grid Database Management, Cloud Data Management, and Scientific Case Studies.
With this presentation, the book serves mostly researchers and graduate students, both as an introduction to and as a technical reference for grid and cloud database management. The detailed descriptions of research prototypes dealing with spatiotemporal or genomic data will also be useful for application engineers in these fields.

I discovered this recipe years ago when I was desperate for a quick homemade roll. On the way home from church, and way past the supermarkets…I realized I had no rolls for the Sunday Roast! That's a tragedy, y'all! I mean, part of the magic of a Sunday Roast is scooping up all of the gravy with some kind of warm, yummy bread.
Back at home, panic set in. I ransacked the cabinets and came up empty. With no time to run to the supermarket, I researched a No Yeast dinner roll and found this life saver! The kicker is that there's only five easy to find ingredients. The extra kicker is that this recipe is mixed all in one bowl. No need to mess up two dishes. Oh happy day!

As John Carter of Mars used to say. Although I suppose that if you buy the Graham-Everett-Wheeler interpretation of quantum mechanics, he actually might still exist; and, if so, he's apparently immortal and thus very likely still saying it.
Umm. Right. Anyway, still alive, just getting out from a bunch of distractions from the small (minor head cold) to the large (same as everybody else, really). The free ice cream will resume shortly.

"God increases our yield so that by giving we can prove our yield is not our god. God does not prosper a man's business so he can move from a Ford to a Cadillac. God prospers a business so that 17,000 unreached peoples can be reached with the gospel. He prospers a business so that twelve percent of the world's population can move a step back from the precipice of starvation." — John Piper
GEM is blessed to have such amazing missionary teachers who are called by God to leave home and serve cross-culturally in a classroom.

So I woke up yesterday morning and just had this feeling I should stop at the mailbox before work...I am SO glad I did because I had this pretty little box waiting for me! I call it "The Day Erin Condren Stepped Up My Game".
When I first started looking at Erin Condren I thought "Holy Moly! I love to organize, but that is WAY too much to spend". Well...I quickly found a way to justify the purchase, and I am so happy I did.
From the first sight I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. The box itself was colorful and bright. Then I got to work and ripped it open... to my surprise...
even the wrapping INSIDE the box was beautiful!
{It is just like Christmas in July :D}
I chose the colorful cover with "Miss Caraballo" and the years on the front. The cover is hard and sturdy. I am not worried at all about it getting ruined or bent in my teacher bag or purse. The spiral bounding is thick also. I highly doubt it will ruin. Overall, the front and material is a 5/5 for me. I LOVE it! The "Make Everyday a Happyday" is a removable bookmark to use!
Along with my planner, they sent me stickers and lists with my name, as well as $10 off my next purchase.
Here are some other of my favorite pages for you to peek at:
{Monthly Calendars---Here is where I write my personal and fitness goals. I also add my blog goals and personal reminders}
{Lesson Planner}
{Checklists or Gradebook}
In the planner there is a page for anything you can think of as a teacher. One of my favorite is the motivational quote on each page. It is great for those days that are usually healed by chocolate and coffee.
{Example of 1 of the many quotes throughout the planner}
I was torn between the life planner or the teacher planner. I have always had a personal planner, but I am glad I went with the teacher planner. I am able to fit everything from personal life, blog life, and school life in one place. There are calendars for everything and it is brightly labled. I even have an area for personal, fitness and career goals. It is amazing what I am able to do with it!
It is the little things in life that make me happy and organizational planners happens to be on my happy list. If you are on the fence of getting this for a planner...DO IT. It is well worth the money and I know I will be buying another next year and as Christmas Gifts.
I hope this helps in any worries you may have in making the purchase. Over here, I am no regrets and all smiles. :)

At Puryear IT, we've long struggled to find the best incentive model for our employees. As an IT service and support firm in Baton Rouge, our biggest asset is our staff. And, no, we don't just say that because it sounds cool. For a service-oriented firm, we must have top-notch staff that WANTS TO WORK HERE. We look for career-minded people, not those looking for jobs, and we want our staff to do things right, not just quickly.
That's a tricky mix.

Note: Download the example spreadsheet attached to this post, but be sure to read the entire blog so that you fully understand the concept.
So what do we incentivize? After trying various models, we've decided to go with a model we call the Team, Effort, Loyalty (TEL) bonus. The TEL bonus rewards:
- Team. Every employee should be motivated to not only consider their own self-interest (at least not directly), but also view their team and the entire company as part of their own "incentive".
- Effort. Most employees vary in their efforts towards a goal, with some exhibiting more effort one month and others in another. But overall, effort is pretty stable and we want to take this into account.
- Loyalty. For a service-oriented company, this is HUGE for us. The longer an employee stays with our firm, the more efficient we become.
So how do we mix and match all of these together into an effective bonus model, i.e., the TEL bonus?
Before going further though, let's define "effective". To us, it means behavior that is profitable and team-oriented while still including self-initiative. If you don't properly define what "effective" means to you, your use of the TEL model will be broken and incentivize the wrong behavior.
That begs the question of "wrong behavior". For us, we could look at effectiveness as follows, although we would be wrong:
- Profitable = Billings to Customers
- Team-Oriented = Consultants help one another when in need
- Self-Initiative = Consultants put in the time and energy to close out tasks
This looks logical, but, for us at least, it's wrong. Let's break this down:
If Profitable means "Billings to Customers", then our consultants will simply bill as many hours as possible, even if those hours are unnecessary. That's very dangerous.
And if Team-Oriented means that "Consultants help one another when in need", then nobody else in the company need bother. The bonus is for only the consultants, which makes them a team outside of the rest of the company, or, if the bonus is company-wide, consultants will resent bonuses to non-consultants because the non-consultants have no incentive to really dig in and help.
So instead, we define it this way:
- Profitable = Valid Billings to Customers
- Team-Oriented = Employees help one another when in need
- Self-Initiative = Employees puts in the time and energy to close out tasks
The biggest change here is "Valid Billings". Every day, I and my administrator review a report indicating closed tasks and the amount of time to bill. We then verify that the time spent passes the gut test (i.e., "is the time spent above and beyond what is really needed for this task?"). If the time doesn't pass the gut test, we write some of it off, which reduces profitability! Doing this means we also need to let each consultant know how much of their time we are writing off so they can address that issue with additional training.
Also, notice that we say "Employees" and not "Consultants". If I want everybody walking down the same path, then, by golly, everybody should have the same set of incentives! By seeing things this way, I can ensure that our Office Admin or Inventory Manager will drop everything to help out a Consultant if there is a billable item that needs to close and the Consultant needs "I have no time left!" help. That helps us focus on Profitability and being Team-Oriented.
Of course, you can't focus only on the team. If you do, there may be some people that ride the wave and allow others to do the hard work for them and let the great employees average out the bad employees. Our solution to this is pretty simple:
- We don't joke around when we tell people that during their 90-day probation, that they are proving they deserve the job, not that they are trying to keep the job they were given. If we don't find you up to snuff, we let you go.
- We don't keep people around that are negative or are not carrying their weight. It's surprising how often companies keep bad employees around. Don't.
So far, we have the Team + Effort part of the bonus handled. However, what about incentivizing self-initiative and retention? For us, that's Effort + Loyalty. To me, employee compensation is the same as "employee value to the company". So, assuming we keep good employees, then we should reward employees that have been here for a while based on their salary (value) and years of service (loyalty).
Now, we need to be fair in all of this. In a service company, employees have a huge amount of control of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and thus Gross Profit (GP), but usually very little control over expenses (overhead).
That said, providing bonuses based on GP can be dangerous so clearly we need to have a strong control over our numbers. This means we know our average overhead averaged out over the year and how much we want our Net Income (NI) to be. If you have a good understanding of your COGS, overhead, and NI needs, then that means the real lever is where it should be: Efficiency of service delivery. That's the lever that your employees control!
So to use TEL, you need a strong understanding of the following:
- Your average monthly overhead. If your overhead varies significantly over time, then your books are wrong and you need to fix them (e.g., you have COGS items in overhead).
- Your debt service needs (Debt Pay).
- Net Income, including how much you want the company to retain for growth (NI Ret) and how much you want for distributions to owners (Owner Ret).
And that's it for understanding when you hit what we'll call "TEL profitability." TEL profitability is when you meet your overhead needs + debt service + NI retention + owner retention. It's what spills over the top after all of that is met.
As an example, we may have:
Avg. O/H: $50k
Debt Pay: $4k
Owner Ret: $2k
NI Ret: $6k
Min GP: $62k
This means we have to hit $62k GP every month on average to reach TEL profitability. The first penny over $62k is the TEL profit!
Notice the "on average". For us, we monitor monthly and pay quarterly (on the second month of the following quarter). So in our example we have this for our GP for the 3 months of the quarter:
That averages out to $16,029 over our Min GP, meaning we have $16k in TEL profits for the quarter.
Once we have this TEL profit number, the question becomes: Now what? Well, share it with your employees. They helped you make that TEL profit by working very hard, so reward them so they keep working hard! Our method is to retain a certain percentage for the house (i.e., Puryear IT) and distribute the rest to the staff. Owners are not included in the bonus since that is already handled by Owner Ret.
This means we need to break it out like so:
House 25%
Staff 75%
If you wonder why we retain some additional GP (25% in this example) in the company, we want to leverage some of that TEL profitability into marketing and sales to further accelerate healthy growth. Remember, healthy growth means the pie gets bigger and bigger for everybody, owners and staff.
So those percentages leave us with:
House $4k
Staff $12k
But wait, we're still potentially in a dangerous position! We may have a strong GP, but be low on cash and have a long tail in our A/R with a big bump at 90+. That means we could be paying out a bonus on fake revenue (A/R that can't be collected) with money we have to borrow from the bank since we don't have the cash on hand. Employees may not understand this risk (if it's billed it's revenue, right?), but you should.
To protect against low cash and a bad A/R, we also need to define the minimum cash on hand we need (our collections have to be strong) and the maximum percentage we have in A/R that is 90+. For some it may be 60+, and others it may be 120+, but for us anything over 90+ is fake money and we assume we'll never see it.
This gives us:
MinCashOnHand $50k
CashOnHand $52k
TotalAR $320k
MaxAR90% 10%
AR90 $24k (8%)
This means we're "safe" to distribute a bonus because we have enough cash on hand to cover our current needs and our A/R is relatively safe. We've been in business for ten years, so we know what is safe and unsafe in terms of our A/R. For younger companies, you'll want to be much more conservative in what you allow here to ensure you don't bonus yourself into bankruptcy.
Finally, we need to break out TEL and determine how to bonus off of it.
We have Team + Effort and Effort + Loyalty, which we define this way:
Team Split: 50%
Merit Split: 50%
The Team Split is a bonus that is EQUAL FOR EVERY BODY. So if 50% of $12k is $6k, that means that you evenly divide that $6k up and give the same check to each employee. That rewards team-work because everybody knows that the pot grows as each person becomes more productive, so somebody that is idle is incentivized to pick up somebody else's excess work because otherwise that excess work will probably not be done on time and thus won't make it into the Team Split profit pool.
Now let's focus on the individual bonus, which we consider Effort + Loyalty. We earmark 50% of the TEL bonus pool to this, which is $6k. We then score each employee by calculating Salary * Years of Service. You can make this calculation more complicated, but in most cases Salary is the same as Value (that's the general idea in a market based economy) and Years of Service is Loyalty, and since we assume you don't keep around bad eggs, this calculation is a reasonable way to weight employees.
Let's wrap this up by talking about who should receive the bonus. Here, you have to work full-time for us as a W2 for a specific amount of time to play the bonus game. We are contract-to-hire for the first three months, meaning new staff aren't eligible until they hit 9 months. You could make this a full year or something more fitting to you. We do use the 3 + 6 model since the first 3 months are all training and they aren't contributing overly to the profitability for that period. It keeps it fair for the rest of the staff.
I want to thank Josh Ford, CEO at Giraphic Prints, a fellow EO Accelerator, for giving me the kernel of the idea for this bonus model and our consulting CFO Rene Schexnaildre for firming up the logic we use while I thought this through over the past few months.

So here is today's version of this and that. It is basically what is bouncing around inside my head. These are the products of books, podcasts, articles, and random thoughts as I go through life. Sometimes connected, but often not.
The Canvas Strategy – Tim Ferriss Podcast, guest Ryan Holiday
As I'm in the midst of a transition myself this was a great reminder about setting the stage for others to succeed. This mindset of service that is not degrading, but advancing both yourself and others really resonates with me as something I've tried to do, but never really heard articulated quite like this.

King of Kings – Hardcore History with Dan Carlin
If you are interested in the narratives that make up human history then you should listen to these podcasts.
This one is especially relevant for me as we've just moved back from the Near East and the "ghost cities" he talks about were just down the road from what was home a few days ago. These cities that were once marvels of the ancient world, now are just piles of dust, the poppies emerging from the sand to mark where they once stood.
The peoples he talks about (Assyrians, Chaldeans, Persians, Medes) are still there and some are still in the fight for survival. As Dan says, they are essentially still yelling "we're still here!" even after having experienced genocide (relevant in the 5th-6th c. BC and in the 21st c. AD!)
Religious Pluralism, Globalization, and World Politics – Thomas Banchoff, editor
I started this book again while we were traveling and really benefited from the first chapter by Thomas Banchoff that sets the stage for the remainder of the book.
Among other themes he points out, one that was especially relevant was the rise of the international human rights scheme. The ability for people to say "we are being slaughtered, but we're still here!" before the entire world. It is amazing to think about the way the world has changed, the fundamental rights that we grant to an individual, these were almost unheard of in previous centuries.

Program: Primary Care Investment
Report (PDF)
Primary care is often acknowledged as the foundation of any high-performing health care delivery system. But how much of our health dollars go to supporting it?
To address this question, the authors of this report—Michael Bailit, Mark Friedberg, and Margaret Houy—present a methodology to define and estimate spending on primary care, relative to other medical expenses. The study design first focused on developing consensus on a specific definition of primary care (including provider types and service billing codes) and then established the feasibility of applying this measure using data from a set of commercial insurers.
Primary care spending is a simple and easily understood measure of how oriented a delivery system or geographic community is to primary care, prevention, and population health. Given the proliferation of enhanced payment initiatives, there seems to be growing consensus in favor of increased spending for primary care and the idea that primary care is a necessary, fundamental step toward a better-performing health system. And we want to increase policy focus on it.
This report shows the importance of precisely defining primary care spending—and provides additional questions for future research. With further development and validation, these measures of primary care spending could serve as the basis for national benchmarks and public policies that seek to orient health systems more strongly toward primary care.
The Milbank Memorial Fund is an endowed operating foundation that works to improve the health of populations by connecting leaders and decision makers with the best available evidence and experience.

Do Cockroaches Really Infest?
One cockroach? That's no fun. A few cockroaches? You might have a problem. A cockroach infestation? That's going to require more energy than swinging a flip-flop. And the old maxim is true. If you see one cockroach there are likely many, many, MANY more nearby.
Cockroaches are social insects and while they don't spend their days texting, they like to travel in groups. Actually, cockroaches have their own way of texting, developed over millions of years. When a roach visits your home and finds it to his liking, he leaves a scent track, a pheromone trail that tells others, "Hey, check this out."
Before you can say "eek a cockroach" you've got hundreds of cucarachas making a conga line between their nest and your home. And it is inevitable that females will lay oval-shaped egg cases under your furniture, beneath your cupboards, and other inaccessible places you will never find them. American cockroaches are the most common species and a female produce 3 to 5 generations annually. These roaches reproduce themselves resulting in around 800 offspring within a year. And that's nothing when compared to German cockroaches. A single female and her offspring produce around 300,000 running, jumping, creeping, crawling cockroaches in a year.
Cockroaches are nocturnal and prefer to breed in dark, moist places; behind kitchen appliances, around basement drains, under floorboards and inside walls. If you have an infestation, you will find piles of roach feces around their nests. This looks like coffee grounds or black pepper. Sometimes a disgusting oily or musty smell will emanate from an infestation and you'll probably find dead roaches here and there.
If you think you have an infestation, you need to take stock of your surroundings. Immediately clean up open food sources in cupboards, drawers, and along countertops. Go after hidden roach snacks in oven vents, around the refrigerator, and behind the stove. Follow up with roach bait traps, which will not only poison the visible roaches but kill off the rest of colony that is infesting your home. When the roaches are gone, paint, putty, and repair the infested areas. And put away the flip-flop until it's time to go to the beach.

This recipe is the master recipe from "Healthy Breads in 5 Mintues a Day" by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois, the sequel to "Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day", a book that I rely on for delicious, hearty bread. See my post on the original artisan boule here. These books really delve into the details and processes of making bread so I really recommend reading them.
As for which recipe I prefer, I think I like the wheat version more because of the rich, caramelized, nutty flavor it has. You notice this flavor more than the tang so if you like the sourdough quality, the original may be your favorite. I also really like the scattering of the seed mixture on the top of this wheat version.
Also, I use these containers and this dough whisk to mix the ingredients although neither are necessary. You can just use a bowl that you have and a fork or your hands. For baking, I use a silpat mat and am too lazy to remove it during baking, per the instructions. The loaves come out very good though so I'm not sure how much better they would be if I followed that instruction. Instead of hot tap water, I use boiling water from my tea kettle for maximum steam baking!
whole grain artisan free-form loaf
from "Healthy Breads in Five Minutes a Day"
- 5 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (720 g, 1lb 9oz)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached (270g, 10oz)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated yeast (2 packets, 15 g, .55oz)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt (15 g, .55oz)
- 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten (35 g, 1 3/8oz)
- 4 cups lukewarm water (900 g, 2lbs)
- cornmeal or parchment paper for the pizza peel
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of whole seed mixture for sprinkling on top crust: sesame, flaxseed, caraway, raw sunflower, poppy, and/or anise (optional)
Mixing and Storing the Dough. Measure the dry ingredients: Use dry-ingredient measuring cups (avoid 2-cup measures, which compress the flour) to gently scoop up flour from a bin, then sweep the top level with a knife or spatula (you can also weigh your ingredients using the equivalents provided). Which together the flours, yeast, salt, and vital wheat gluten in a 5-quart bowl, or, preferably, in a resealable, lidded plastic food container or food-grade bucket (not airtight).
- Mix with water--kneading is unnecessary: Warm the water until it feels slightly warmer than body temperature (about 100F). Add all at once to the dry ingredients and mix without kneading, using a spoon, a 14-cup food processor (with dough attachment), or a heavy-duty stand mixer (with paddle). You might need to use wet hands to get the last bit of flour to incorporate if you're not using a machine. Using warm water will allow the dough to rise fully in about 2 hours. Don't knead! It isn't necessary. You're finished when everything is uniformly moist, without dry patches. This step is done in a matter of minutes, and will yield a dough that is wet and remains loose enough to conform to the shape of its container.
- Allow to rise: Cover the dough with a lid (not airtight) that fits well to the container. If you are using a bowl, cover it loosely with plastic wrap. Lidded (or even vented) plastic buckets designed for dough storage are readily available (page 29); leave it open a crack for the first 48 hours to prevent buildup of gases; after that you can usually seal it. Allow the mixture to rise at room temperature until it begins to collapse (or at least flattens on the top), approximately 2 hours, depending on the room's temperature. Longer rising times, even overnight, will not harm the result. After rising, refrigerate in the lidded (not airtight) container and use over the next 14 days. Fully refrigerated wet dough is less sticky and is easier to work with than dough at room temperature. So, the first time you try our method, it's best to refrigerate the dough overnight (or at least 3 hours), before shaping a loaf. Once refrigerated, the dough will seem to have shrunk back upon itself. It will never rise again in the bucket, which is normal for our dough. Whatever you do, do not punch down this dough! With our method, you're trying to retain as much gas in the dough as possible, and punching it down knocks gas out and will make your loaves denser.
- On Baking Day. Shape a loaf in 20 to 40 seconds. First, prepare a piza peel by sprinkling it liberally with cornmeal (or lining it with parchment paper, or use a silicone mat) to prevent your loaf from sticking to it when you slide it into the oven. Dust the surface of your refrigerated dough with flour. Pull up and cut off a 1-pound (grapefruit-size) piece of dough, using a serrated knife or kitchen shears. Hold the mass of dough in your hands and add a little more flour as needed so it won't stick to your hands. Gently stretch the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating a quarter-turn as you go to form a ball. Most of the dusting flour will fall off; it's not intended to be incorporated into the dough. The bottom of the ball may appear to be a collection of bunched ends, but it will flatten out and adhere during resting and baking. The correctly shaped final prodcut will be smooth and cohesive. The entire process should take no more than 20 to 40 seconds. If you work the dough longer than this, it might make your loaf dense.
- Form a narrow oval-shaped loaf and let it rest: Stretch the ball gently to elongate it, and taper the ends by rolling them between your palms and pinching them (for a really professional result, use the letter-fold method on page 68).
- Allow the loaf to rest, loosely covered with plastic wrap, on the prepared pizza peel for 90 minutes (40 minutes if you're using fresh, unrefrigerated dough). Alternatively, you can rest the loaf on a silicone mat or on a greased cookie sheet without using a pizza peel. Depending on the age of the dough, you might not see much rise during this period; instead, it will spread sideways. More rising will occur during baking (oven spring).
- Thirty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 450F, with a baking stone placed on the middle rack. Place an empty metal broiler tray for holding water on any other rack that won't interfere with the rising bread.
- Paint and slash: Just before baking, use a pastry brush to paint the top with water. Sprinkle with the seed mixture if desired. Slash the loaf with 1/4-inch-deep parallel cuts across the top. Use a serrated bread knife held perpendicularly to the bread.
- Baking with steam: After a 30-minutes preheat, you're ready to bake, even though your oven thermometer might not yet be up to full temperature. With a quick forward-jerking motion of the wrist, slide the loaf off the pizza peel and onto the preheated baking stone. If you used parchment paper instead of cornmeal, it will slide onto the stone with the loaf and if you used a silicone mat or cookie sheet, just place it on the stone. Quickly but carefully pour about 1 cup of hot water from the tap into the broiler tray and close the oven door to trap the steam (or use an alternative method to bake with steam; see pages 27and 28). Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is richly browned and firm to the touch (smaller or larger loaves will require adjustments in resting and baking time). If you used parchment paper, a silicone mat, or a cookie sheet under the loaf, carefully remove it and bake the loaf directly on the stone or on an oven rack two-thirds of the way through baking. When you remove the loaf from the oven, it may audibly crackle, or "sing," when initially exposed to room-temperature air. Allow the bread to cool completely, preferably on a wire cooling rack, for best flavor texture, and slicing. The perfect crust may initially soften, but will firm up again when cooled (see cover photo).
- Store the remaining dough in the refrigerator in your lidded (not air-tight) container and use it over the next 14 days. You'll notice throughout the book that certain ingredients mean a shorter shelf life. You'll find that even 24 hours of storage improves teh flavor and texture of your bread. The dough begins to ferment and take on sourdough characteristics.

This, and a Cheff full of dust and spiderwebs is the same. We're back to the 80's.
totally agree with you!
Stay low, move fast. Kill first, die last. 1 shot 1 kill, not luck, just skill.
Very nice photo... that is all!! (all the work is poor but very good photo production)
Simple ideas are the best !
Love this campaign! But doesn't the guy in front seem a little out of proportion? A little small don't you think? A little oompa loompa
I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?
BRILLIANT IDEA & EXECUTION !!! I agree with the mis-proportion of the guy in front. But i feel the headline should have been different, as the brand name is CHEF & it also says you don't need chef's anymore in the kitchen...
