Lady Gaga and Beyonce's video airs
Lady Gaga and Beyonce unite to murder Tyrese Gibson in the sensational video for their single Telephone.
The hotly-anticipated video, directed by Jonas Akerlund, finally aired on E! News in the US on Thursday night and is now available to watch online.
It sees Gaga thrown in jail in the opening sequence.
As the new Queen of Pop is stripped down by two burly female prison guards, and with nothing but crossed black plasters and prison bars covering her modesty, one remarks "I told you she didn't have a d**k", and the other replied "Too bad".
Gaga is then seen strutting her stuff in the prison wrapped in "Crime Scene Investigation" tape, wearing sunglasses fashioned from cigarettes, a dress made of chains, drinks cans as curlers and tiny sparkling underwear as she performs the song and exchanges phone calls with Beyonce, who she calls Honey B, on the ouside.
In the prison yard, the starlet exchanges a kiss with a butch prisoner who simultaneoulsy smuggles her a mobile phone.
Beyonce eventually bails Lady Gaga out of jail, picks her up in her bright painted "Pussy wagon", feeds her a hot dog and tells her: "You've been a very, very bad girl Gaga."
They drive to a diner where Beyonce meets Tyrese Gibson and Gaga plays chef and waitress as they poison his and everyone else's food in an act of revenge.
After dancing around the diner in Wonder Woman outfits, the divas flee the scene of the crime before the police catch up with them and Gaga tells Beyonce: "We did it Honey B."
:: Telephone is out on March 15.

So they're releasing the early seasons of 'Sesame Street' on dvd.
These go back aways, my daughter used to watch them when
she was little. So what's stupid?
Apparently, they're being released with a parental
warning label BECAUSE:
Snuffleupagus was an imaginary friend...
Cookie Monster ate unhealthy...
And Oscar the Grouch was too grouchy...(duh!)
How stupid is that, my daughter never once wondered
why Snuffleupagus wasn't hanging out in our yard.
Most of us eat unhealthy...and that probably has more
to do with fast food restaurants than Sesame Street...
And stupid crap like parental warning on old children's
dvds make me grouchy!!
(Of course my wife says I'm like that anyway...)

For over ten years the Alberta Horse Racing and Breeding Industry has been partnering with the Northern Alberta International Children's Festival
The Northern Alberta International Children's Festival strives to make artistic and cultural programming accessible for every child. For some children, a visit to the Festival is just not possible. Thanks to the generous support of Horse Racing Alberta, the Children's Festival delivers Project Smile, an outreach initiative designed to bring the colour, sounds and laughter of the festival to local hospitals and long-term care facilities for patients and their families to enjoy. This year, Project Smile is performing at:
- Stollery Hospital
- Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital
- Elves Child Development Centre
- G.R.I.T. (Getting Ready for Inclusion Today)
The industry also sponsors the festival's very popular Adopt-A-School
The Adopt-A-School program matches donors with schools to provide Festival tickets and bus transportation to schools facing financial challenges allowing children to fulfill curiosities and imaginations.
The festival runs May 26 – 30, 2015 in St. Albert

Kapelmuur – Iconic Climb
The Muur van Geraardsbergen aka Kapelmuur
Kapelmuur (also known as the Muur van Geraardsbergen) was for many years, the most iconic climb in the Tour of Flanders. Positioned as the penultimate climb, it was often a springboard for attacks that saw winners get lucky. It was taken off the route for the Tour of Flanders to much derision but reappeared in 2016. It has often featured in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad instead, making sure that this iconic climb is still raced on.
Found in the Belgian city of Geraardsbergen, the climb rises 100m, with a cobbled surface making the gradient feel even tougher. What makes the climb such a focal point and easy to recognise when watching the racing, is the domed chapel at the summit. The thousands of cycling fans that congregate on the climb's corners also make the climb iconic. It has often been the point for winning attacks in races when it has featured.
The climb suits powerful riders due to its short length and this has seen the likes of Fabian Cancellara and Tom Boonen dominate it over the last ten years. Going back a couple more years, Belgian favourite Johan Museeuw would often crest Kapelmuur first.
The climb lasts for 1075 metres with an average gradient of 9.3%. The peak gradient tops out at a brutal 19.8%.
Races that feature the Muur van Geraardsbergen/Kapelmuur
The climb also featured in the 2014 edition of Omloop het Nieuwsblad where Ian Stannard beat local favourite Greg van Avermaet to the line by centimetres. Greg Van Avermaet outsprinted Peter Sagan for the win in 2016.
Each of these riders rely on huge bursts of power to reach the summit quickly. Those considered as more traditional climbers often struggle with the battering they receive from the cobbles, allowing heavier riders a chance.

ALIGHT! was a storytelling, dance, performance and art project. Directed by choreographer Muirne Bloomer and visual artist Vanessa Daws, ALIGHT! was led by CoisCéim BROADREACH and coordinated by Dublin's Culture Connects.
ALIGHT! was about ACCESS – promoting, developing and improving cultural and social access. An inclusive participation project, its aims were to inspire and connect communities and their national institutions in a lasting and meaningful way. The ALIGHT! activities and events were developed by the participants under the mentorship of professional artists, resulting in a series of creative responses that celebrate the natural choreography of daily life.
Spanning all artforms, there was something for everyone as dance, design, light, art, music and film collided on and around the ORANGE double decker project bus.
ALIGHT! events and programmes included:
- THE MYSTERY HISTORY CABARET TOUR – An imaginative storytelling and performance tour that brought together local performers with professional artists.
- ALL ABOARD – A series of exploratory visits for local groups to the National Gallery and Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane – and around the local neighbourhoods.
- A VALENTINE'S TEA DANCE – A social dance celebration for people aged 50+
- TELL YOUR STORY – Drop-in social exchanges on the bus.
- Bus-based design project with Talk About Youth at St Andrews Resource Centre
- Art/dance/drama workshops with community groups at St Andrews Resource Centre, Pembroke Library, Pearse Street Library and The Lir Academy.
ALIGHT! focuses on the Pearse Street, Irishtown, Ringsend and Sandymount areas of Dublin. Our partner national cultural institutions are the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and The National Gallery of Ireland.
The vibrant neighbourhoods in ALIGHT! each have strong communities and a distinct sense of place. The aim is to facilitate the people in these localities to work with artists to creatively celebrate their own and each other's communities.
With these projects the aim is provide a framework for the artists and people to work together, facilitating cultural and social exchange and sometimes providing the opportunity for building creative skills. This mixing of community and artistic expertise is an exciting one and intended results are necessarily open-ended – we want artists and local people to work together towards artistic outcomes.

Yesterday afternoon in São Miguel we were very lucky to see 2 sei whales feeding. Normally when we see baleen whales, like sei whales, in the Azores they are just passing through on their migration, so it was really special to see them feeding here. Sei whales are baleen whales, so they filter small food out of the water using baleen plates in the roof of their mouth. In this case we saw them feeding on swarms of krill at the surface. There were large patches of water that were red from the krill, and it was here that we saw the whales lunging up from the depth and swimming on their sides to take in huge mouthfulls of krill and water. Several times we could see into their huge mouths and we were able to see their baleen plates which they use to trap the krill and their throat pleats which allows their mouth to expand to take in the huge mouthfulls. Here are some photos from the tour:

TSSJS Vegas 2010 Round-Up
People seemed genuinely interested in Java EE 6, the Web Profile, CDI and Resin. I got a ton of questions for Q&A, one-on-one afterwards as well as at the Caucho booth. Folks were particularly interested in some of the CDI/EJB 3.1 features as well as the Resin portable extensions for JUnit, iBATIS, Quartz, using EJB annotations on managed beans, etc. A good number of people asked for the example code both for the CanDI and Resin demo talks (both demos have been posted on the Caucho site already).
I personally enjoyed taking about the importance of open participation in the JCP although it was a relatively short and non-technical talk. Attendees at the talk asked some very intelligent questions and showed a great deal of engagement/interest, which was very heartening. I also got to talk to a few EJB 3 in Action readers as well as TSS readers, which is always fantastic.

Girl (18) left semi-conscious after assault near home
A TEENAGER was left semi-conscious after a vicious assault as she was out walking near her home.
Gardai today appealed for information about the attack on the 18-year-old girl which occurred at Compass Hill in Kinsale, Co Cork.
The attack, which took place at 10.30pm last night, resulted in the teen suffering serious head injuries.
She was rushed to Cork University Hospital (CUH) where she remains in a stable condition.
The motive involved in the attack is unclear and Gardai are working to determine if it was a robbery gone wrong or if the attacker may have had a sexual motive.
Gardai have not yet been able to interview the teen to determine precisely what happened.
One source stressed that the precise details of the attack will only be known once forensic results are available and the teen is able to give a detailed interview.
However initial indications are that the attack happened after the teen tried to flee from someone.
The area of Compass Hill, on the outskirts of the popular Cork tourist town, was sealed off to allow for a detailed investigation by forensic experts.
Gardai also launched door to door inquiries to determine if anyone spotted suspicious activity.
"This appears to have been a very nasty incident and we would appeal for public assistance," one garda said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kinsale garda station at (021) 4772302 or their nearest garda station.

Magnetix Nail Polish by China Glaze
So, about a week and a half ago I picked up a couple colours from the new Magnetix collection from China Glaze. I got to try them for the first time last night.
I got Pull Me Close and Cling On. I'm sorry – but they came up with the cutest names ever for these Magnetic Nail Polishes. So clever! (Okay, perhaps I just amuse easily.)
For the month of March, Sally's Beauty Supply store has a promotion where you buy two of the colours, you get the set of magnets for free. So for $14, I got two polishes and the magnets. More expensive than normal China Glaze, but certainly a different and unique result too.
The Instructions:
- If you are one of those people that like using a basecoat, this is your first step – GO!
- Apply one coat of Magnetix nail lacquer. Let dry.
- Apply second coat of Magnetix nail lacquer. Even though the instructions only tell you to do one coat, I find your colours are much more vibrant if you do two. In the picture below, the nail on the left is with one coat, the nail on the right is with two coats. You can really tell how sheer one coat is.
- Immediately hold magnet over damp nail. Hold it close without touching your nail for 5-10 seconds. You can see in the picture below that there are little ledges to rest on your finger to help you avoid smearing your wet nail all over the magnet surface.
- Once nails are dry add your top coat. Enjoy!
The Designs:
The China Glaze Magnetix 3-in-1 magnet is regularly sold separately. But as I mentioned above, it is currently included at Sally's with the purchase of two Magnetix Nail Polishes.
Things I noticed:
- I found it easiest to have the hand you are working on resting flat on a desk or table. You are less likely to accidentally touch your wet nail with the surface of the magnet.
- It takes some messing around to get the patterns to come out nice and clear. I had a hard time getting the patterns to come through as clear as they show in pictures. You have to hold the magnet as close as possible to the nail, without touching it and be fast! Don't dawdle getting the magnet over your damp nail.
- Remember, all of these polishes can just be used as regular polish as well, so pick out a colour you'll love for regular use too!
- Keep in mind, the design sets into the polish as the nail dries. If you pull off the magnet too soon, the nail polish will start bleeding back together and the definition in the design may blur.
- To create different looks remember that you can rotate the magnet, you don't need to use it the same way each time!
- Lastly, if you screwed up a nail or aren't crazy about how the pattern turned out, throw on another coat of polish and try again, it works like a charm.
If you are interested in the other Nail Polish Collections for Spring 2012, please click here.
September 16th, 2012 Edit: China Glaze has since come out with Magnetix II a collection featuring all new magnets and new polishes! Check it out here.
Thanks for reading everyone – hope you have a great weekend!

State Turns Its Back on Traditional Families
There has been much discussion about the impact of S.B. 777, the sexual orientation bill, and what it means for your family.
It is important to know that this bill does not impact homeschoolers who are not receiving government education funding. For this reason HSLDA, and Family Protection Ministries (FPM), our partners in California on legislative matters, did not actively oppose this bill, even though we closely monitored it to make sure it would not affect private homeschoolers. S.B. 777, however, will have a significant impact on all public and some private education in California.
When California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed S.B. 777, on October 12, 2007, many were legitimately concerned. This new law will significantly impair speech supporting the traditional family from being heard in California public schools. This is accomplished by making it illegal for school officials to teach the well established Judeo-Christian principles concerning the family.
Every California parent needs to know what is happening in their public school system. To this end, HSLDA encourages you to share this information with friends, relatives, and church leaders. We believe that Christian leaders throughout California will conclude that the public school is no longer serving the best interests of families and that alternative methods of education need to be promoted.
HSLDA has been at the forefront of homeschooling for nearly 25 years. During this time, homeschooling has proven itself to be a superior form of education. If you've experienced the blessings of homeschooling, we strongly urge you to communicate with other parents who are concerned about the direction of public schools to consider homeschooling.
Remember, S.B. 777 also affects charter schools. We agree with Roy Hanson of FPM that the institutions covered by S.B. 777 include:
- an educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance, or
- an educational institution that enrolls pupils who receive state student financial aid. Private homeschoolers, of course, do not fall under either of these categories.
Please share this important information about the consequences of S.B. 777, and the possibility of homeschooling, with your friends, relatives and church leaders.

Discussion in 'London and the South East' started by Manuka, May 8, 2014.
Ha, the Evening Standard said the same thing in 2008. Never quite happened.
They've got a hell of a local football club!
Where in London isn't a 'property hotspot'?
didn't have the overground in 2008 though...
It was only a year away and was mentioned in the ES article.
Decent housing stock and great transport. I hope it does well. It was great for us for five years.
where did you live? I am considering being part of the incoming gentrifyers to south norwood soon
Innit, the Standard has a different one every week.
Crowther Rd. In the 'less desirable' south of the station bit. North of the station is pretty lovely, on the whole.
.....what stops the south being less desirable? I have had a bit of a wander round there btw
what are the more desirable areas?
Housing stock. Fewer trees on the residential streets. Portland Rd is considered a bit rough and ready, but I walked up and down it at all hours, as did my Mrs.
In all honesty it's probably because it's quite a black area. Scares whitey.
We really enjoyed living there and had great neighbours. A real community with lots of leaving cards when we left.
Good bits are round the lake, the roads of South Norwood Hill towards the football ground.
I think S. Norwood is alright, there are definitely some nice houses there, it's well connected - S. Norwood sports centre is ok.. but that review is shocking... When the train station coffee shop is highlighted as a reason to move there - that's not encouraging. Plus I'd have a few things to add about the schools that would be slightly less encouraging.
I'm really glad schools are not something I have to take into account any more(as I worked my life around her and my school for 15 years)
Girl finished uni today
Re desirable bits... to add to what Chris said, the roads leading off the lower end of Portland Road (towards Woodside and near the Country Park) such as Sandown Road, Oakley… are nice.
The article failed to mention that you can be in London Bridge within 12 minutes and that it has a tram service.
Mr Filter lived just up the road from me.
Never posted before but I've just moved to S Norwood. It's not the north end, which I think is more desirable because it's close to Crystal Palace and has a suburban feel to it. It is also more expensive than the south because of this too.
The article isn't really that positive, I think it refers to the north so totally ignoring the Country Park end, which is a real gem (although needs a bit of love and lottery money) with a duck lake, meadows and pretty decent play park.
The cafe refered to in the article isn't the train station one, which is a kiosk on the platform, it is the very popular Yeha Noha. I'm unsure why this hasn't been capitalised on and more opened but you never know, maybe this will happen soon. Stanley Halls has reopened, that could be a great arts cafe and a lovely bar in the evening (we could really do with one). The Blue Jay cafe on Portland Road is very nice too.
The area definitely needs more positivity and more action. There are many parts of SE London that were once considered dreadful and are now desirable. Let's give S Norwood a chance.
Be interested to know more about schools though, gaijingirl?
Funnily enough, after 35 years living in South London, I went down to South Norwood for the first time on Friday. It seemed a bit threadbare but not grubby. I didn't mind it.
I had to find Crown Point and then it was a straight run down Beulah Hill.
Now my fear has gone, I would go again...
Shar, I understand your view... I think those that live in SE25 will know which cafe they're talking about Yeha Noha http://yehanohacafe.com/. It's definitely not the train station cafe
This article seems to be a little better http://www.moove2london.co.uk/tag/londons-new-hotspots-villages/ It just says what most SE25 residents know...
But Shar as you said more action and positivity is needed, especially if the Council don't give SE25 any attention,
Aren't they referring to Cafe Basmaccino in the station? (That's not the one that's just opened on the platform, it's been there for years)
Check this out too...
It's hit the broadsheets!!!
Another small business under threat:
Petition: Save Cafe Basmaccino in Norwood Junction station
i prefer thornton heath (just down the road). cheaper, for a start. and if you are not near the station at south norwood, that 13 mins to london bridge needs to be extended as if you're at the bottom of portland road, it's a long old slog.
portland road will never, ever be redeveloped, imo. it's write off imo and might as well be turned into cheap flats (i am being serious). the high street up at norwood junction aint to bad.
thornton heath is more condensed. it has a good restaurant, leisure center, a big tesco, pet shop, very multicultural, very family orientated, good transport up to london, superdrug, subway, poundland. you have to be very wise with choosing a road in fort neef though. get it wrong and it's really wrong!
both areas are cheap though for a reason. i do think the only way is up for both areas though.
The Tesco is Thornton Heath is the single most depressing place on earth. I find Thornton Heath really moody, whereas South Norwood is fairly amiable. The top end of Portland Rd can seem a little forbidding but I never had a sniff of bother walking down there late at night for the five years I lived there.
Nothing wrong with South norwood i lived there
most of my life, it does have that stuck in the 70`s
fell a bit , but i like it, some really nice people live round there
the Jolly saylor in its day was great and the goathouse but thats
gone so hopefully they have some good pubs
south norwood
why is that then? no different to all the other big stores around...
Separate names with a comma.

Or Father's Day, or for yourself, your spouse, or anyone else who cooks who is about 5'7 or taller or shorter than 5'2..
Make cooking fit like a glove.
So what if the cook's height is less than 5'2"? Now the trick is to have a kitchen cart that can be made in any height with the top doubling as a work surface. The measurements should be good for cooks to about 4'9. If you are less than that, it probably makes sense to do your own testing with stacked boxes and see what feels right. The other alternative that is commonly used are stools.

Fried Button Mushrooms, Spicy Remoulade
40 small white button mushrooms, trim stems
1 c flour
2 eggs, whisked together
1 c bread crumbs
1/4 c Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 Tbs salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 c vegetable oil, heated to 350 degrees in a heavy pot
Put the ingredients in three separate bowls, one with the flour, salt and pepper, one with the beaten egg, and one with the bread crumbs mixed with the Parmesan cheese. Now we are going to do what is called a "standard breading process". First dredge the mushrooms on the flour, shake off excess flour. Next into the beaten eggs and finally into the bread crumb-Parmesan mix...Make sure they are evenly coated with the bread crumb mix. This can be done 2 hours before you need to fry them, place in your refrigerator.
When you are ready to serve, heat your oil and fry in batches of 10 until golden brown about 3 to 5 minutes... The mushrooms will float so you will need to stir them around in the oil...Be very careful, do not burn yourself. Place on a baking pan lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve with the Spicy Remoulade and a glass of DSM Luxe!
1 c mayonnaise
1 egg, hard boiled and chopped
1/4 c finely chopped dill pickle

To paraphrase Childish Gambino's sophomore album, Random Nerds is here because of the internet.
We were raised on it. We owe all we know to be true in this world to it. If it wasn't for the internet's vast seas of information on such arcane topics as the locations of Gold Skulltulas in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Joe might never have lifted the spider's curse. If it wasn't for Wikipedia, there's almost no chance Bryce has a college degree today.
However, it wasn't just the endless objective truths on the internet that made us who we are. It was its ability to connect us to worlds and people we'd never dreamed of being able to reach. It helped us find other random nerds who loved the same random, nerdy things we did.
Logging on to the internet felt like an adventure, a beautiful new planet just waiting to be explored…
Only now it's been a few decades and, much like our actual planet, the internet is quickly becoming a polluted wasteland. The wonderful opportunities for self-betterment and community-building are being stripmined, leaving nothing but sanctuaries for hate, greed, and, ironically, misinformation.
Random Nerds wants to help fix that. And we think we our Patronizing system is a good way to start…
Because the internet, behind the screens and through the fiber-optic cables, is really just a bunch of people. And people, especially those influential younger ones, deserve to experience that thrilling, optimistic sense of adventure when it comes to exploring the internet. They deserve to feel like there is at least one place in the world where quality, transparency, and respect are rewarded.
So much of who we at Random Nerds are has come from the contributions of those internet pioneers who came before us; those whose blood, sweat, and tears made up the public pool of knowledge we call The Internet. We owe it to them and the next generations of Random Nerds a chance at that kind of internet. The one we always thought we were building together. The one that we will build on the ashes of this one.

WASHINGTON — It seems obvious: Killing terrorist leaders should weaken their organizations, depriving those groups of strategic direction and ideological appeal. The death of someone like Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, a senior Islamic State figure reported killed on Tuesday in Syria, should seem like a significant setback for the group.
But scholars have struggled to find evidence that killing leaders is an effective way to dismantle terrorist organizations, instead finding ample evidence that it makes little difference. That research seems to apply especially to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, whose attributes make it resilient to losing even a top figure like Mr. Adnani.
Two features make a terrorist group able to withstand a senior officer's death, according to research by Jenna Jordan, a Georgia Tech professor and a leading expert on the subject.
The first is popular support. Groups need a steady stream of recruits and a pool of potential new leaders. Support among civilians in areas in which the groups primarily operate also makes them more stable, by broadening support networks and helping them to safely retrench when needed. Leaders are usually killed in or near communities that support them, resulting in those communities rallying behind the terrorist group and against whoever did the killing.
While it might be difficult to imagine that a community would support the Islamic State, the group's continued control over parts of Syria and Iraq and the recruits flooding in from abroad demonstrate its appeal. Religious groups are even better at absorbing attacks, Professor Jordan found, because their appeal is based on a shared identity that transcends any individual leader.
The second feature is not something usually associated with groups like the Islamic State: bureaucracy. The more a terrorist group resembles a corporate organizational chart — often with administrative, payroll and logistical staff — the more stable it is, and the better able to handle a leader's death.
Just like any other bureaucracy, such groups have clearly delineated hierarchies, internal rules and divisions of responsibility. That clarity means it is easy to replace a leader with a deputy. It also makes the organization stable: If one cog falls out, the rest of the machine can still function.
For a group as large and complex as the Islamic State, the infrastructure is simply too large for any one person, even a top leader, to make or break its future.
This is why terrorism scholars have repeatedly concluded that killing or capturing terrorist leaders — a strategy known, colorfully, as "decapitation" — does not work.
Robert A. Pape, a University of Chicago professor, wrote in a much-cited 2003 study that Israel and other governments had spent "over 20 years" focused on killing or capturing terrorist leaders and found "meager success."
"Although decapitation of suicide terrorist organizations can disrupt their operations temporarily, it rarely yields long-term gains," Professor Pape wrote.
It can, in some cases, even backfire. Governments that engage in targeted killings risk resetting ongoing political negotiations. Daniel Byman, a Brookings Institution scholar who focuses on Israeli counterterrorism, has written that a policy of "decapitation" may have led Palestinian terrorist groups to decentralize, ultimately making them more of a threat.
Still, the research is necessarily fuzzy. As one paper laments, definitive conclusions would require setting up an experimental terrorist group, which "is neither desirable nor feasible."
That paper, by Patrick B. Johnston, a RAND Corporation researcher, is more supportive of "decapitation" strikes, however. Mr. Johnston found that repeated strikes against a terrorist group can, in some cases, increase the chances of a group's defeat. But such strikes alone, he found, are not enough.
What these studies share is an acknowledgment that terrorist groups are, in at least some important respects, a political phenomenon. They cannot be fully defeated without addressing their political roots, including whatever local support they enjoy.
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda's Iraq branch, was killed in 2006 as Iraqi Sunnis turned against the group in large numbers. His death was the result of his group's decline, rather than a driver of it. Osama bin Laden's death, in 2011, similarly came after a decade-long ground war to uproot Al Qaeda from Afghanistan and accompanying efforts in Pakistan.
If killing terrorist leaders does little on its own to defeat terrorist groups, then why do countries like the United States make such frequent use of this strategy? Consider where this strategy has been deployed: Syria, Somalia, Pakistan's tribal regions and Yemen.
These are places where the United States might believe it has few, if any, options. Targeting terrorist leaders might not make much difference, but it is cheap, it is low risk for the United States (though not always for civilians in the vicinity of strikes), and it allows American leaders to credibly say they are doing something. But there is little evidence that these deaths, whatever their political value in the United States, make much of a difference on the ground.

Filmmaker, and comedian Woody Allen once said: "Eighty percent of success is showing up." That might have been true 37 years ago. But, today a business cannot run a well-oiled machinery with the mere existence of a stellar team.
In an age, when business, competition, and head-hunting becomes an actuality at an international scale, an organization is better placed with one enthusiastic, and motivated employee, over five disengaged ones, who contribute nothing but wasted resources.
Disengaged employees result in high staff turnovers, or worse, continue to stay on, costing the business in several direct and indirect ways. An underperformer can impact the overall morale of a team. This is especially true if they have to make up for the mistakes of the one person who couldn't perform. The reason for this, is a decline in employee engagement.
Effects of employee engagement down the years
According to researches, low engagement levels affect employee performance, resulting in lower customer satisfaction, and absenteeism. Other than affecting immediate co-workers, low employee engagement has other financial effects. In short, the present competitive business environment requires employers to engage better with employees, for their organizations to succeed.
According to the Gallup organization's American Workplace: 2010-2012 report, the cost for keeping actively disengaged workers over a five-year period was approximately $300 billion in lost productivity and employee performance. Additionally, in 2012, a study by Robert Half international found that supervisors spent over 17% of their time. This equals to nearly one day in a week just overseeing poorly performing employees. In crisp words, corporate organizations are in a bleak situation as far as employee engagement is concerned.
In the present time, Gallup's latest poll, based on Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted with 80,844 adults working for an employer highlights that-
- 24% of employees worldwide are actively disengaged
- 35% of female employees are more engaged compared to 29% of men
- 44% of employees say they would consider taking a job with a different company even for a raise of 20% or less
As per Gallup's 15-year history of measuring and tracking , employee engagement entered a stagnant state in 2015 and has not yet experienced any large year-over-year improvements; employee engagement has consistently averaged less than 33%.
Factors that drive employee engagement
Given the low levels of highly engaged workers, it is essential for companies to understand the factors that drive sustainable engagement. Management must understand that employee engagement has become a leadership priority as they constantly seek different methods to keep their workforce engaged.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:
- Relationship with immediate coworkers & supervisor
- Pride in working for the company • The variety of skills that an employee gets to employ in the role
- How important the employee believes their position is in the company
- Being matched to the right job, and thus job satisfaction
- Having a clear understanding about the desired outcomes for their roles
- Having enough opportunities to learn and grow
Traditionally, the only way to know how these factors are influenced has been through direct conversation with the individual in question. However, not everyone can be upfront, nor honest while talking about their emotions. The factors related to engagement are driven in large part by attitude of an individual, and thus the most effective method in measuring the gaps required to increase engagement is found to be assessments that measure the emotions behind a person's actions.
Once again, psychometric assessments help in understanding where employees stand, his expectations from the company. There are tests specifically designed to measure stress levels, motivation levels, leadership attributes, and others, that cater to specific personality traits of an individual and thus can help in mapping the cause for disengagement. For eg. Some individuals yearn praise or recognition for their work more than they value monetary appreciation.
A motivation test can point this out to a manager, thus alerting him to the need for using suitable recognition for the employee. By peeking at what goes on under the human mind, employers can compare one individual's performance with that of others and know what the relatively strong and weak areas are within one person.
Employee engagement is important to an organization from perspectives beyond making employees go that extra mile. It also helps organizations to plan individual and team performance appraisals, helps reassign people to roles that are better suited to their personalities, and above all, helps a company create tailored learning and development modules that can cover areas of deficit for each employee.
Today's employers are better placed to source and recruit these 'elusive unicorns' given that they have social media and varied technologies at their disposal. Getting to these persons is now a cake-walk or as we have said, as fluid and lucid as the movement of a slow dance!

Welcome back! We all have that show. The show that you adore and can quote at the drop of a hat. You love it, but you are the only one. Everyone has one of those shows that just didn't take off with the masses. We are left with a very limited series that you watch over and over again as they write an analysis on the internet. Probably on a blog.
Ahem…moving on.
This is what this series is about, taking those shows that had a very limited run and deciding if the show deserved better. After all, you may love a show, but after you analyze it, you can understand why it didn't take off.
What are we looking at this week?
The CW Show The Carrie Diaries.
The Carrie Diaries started its life as a book series. Two books to be exact. The prequel books to Sex and the City was written by Candace Bushnell as a young adult series. A look at Carrie Bradshaw before Manhattan and before meeting Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte. The Carrie Diaries was produced for The CW by the Gossip Girl/ The O.C. producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and written by Sex and the City writer Amy B. Harris.
The series follows Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) as a sixteen-year-old judging high school and her secret internship at Interview Magazine in Manhattan. She has a younger sister, Dorrit, and father, Tom (Stefania LaVie Owen and Matt Letscher) and a group of friends she has had since childhood. The sweet overachiever Mouse (Ellen Wong), the wild Maggie (Katie Findlay) and the sexually confused Walt (Brendan Dooling). Let us not forget her on and off boyfriend, Sebastian Kidd (Austin Butler).
Larissa (Freema Agyeman) is her boss at Interview who is flighty, silly and Carrie's mentor and Donna LaDonna (Chloe Bridges) is the most popular girl in school and frenemies with Carrie.
In the second series, we get an introduction to Samantha (Lindsey Gort). Quite the entrance for such an iconic character.
Rank in Pop Culture History
When the show premiered in 2013, it had mixed reviews. Some claimed the show was too sweet or played too much on nostalgia. While other critics argued it could have gone very wrong but turned out surprisingly right.
The series average ratings for season one on Wednesday nights was 1.14 million viewers. Season two, which was on Friday nights, went down to 0.82. It was canceled. The showrunner of the show reviled that if the show were renewed the audience would have met Miranda next.
Did The Carrie Diaries Deserve Better?
Yes. I'm not mincing words on this one. I think the idea was great. I believe the casting was perfect. I loved the 80's timeframe and little winks to its sister series, Sex and the City. It was poised to be great. Not only are you getting those teenagers you would get the kids (like myself) who watched Sex and the City as teenagers.
What went wrong? Well, in my opinion, The CW is what went wrong. The CW was at a crossroads when this series started. It still had a WB vibe while trying to be edgier. You could see their DC comics revolution on the horizon. They weren't aware of it yet, but it was there. A lot of shows were ending that would have been good matches for the show. If they waited, they could have matched the show with Jane the Virgin or even Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. However, you can tell they didn't know what to do with the series. The advertising was limited. I wasn't even aware of the show until a lovely Twitter follower told me about the show. I caught up and fell in love. The CW just didn't know what to do with this quiet gem of a series.
I think it deserves more credit because it is a very honest look at being a teenager. It doesn't shy away from sex and doesn't play to type. The very sweet, Mouse, would typically stay the virgin on this kind of show. However, she is one of the first in the group to lose their virginity. The main group (Carrie, Walt, Maggie, and Mouse) feel like a real group of friends. I know these friends. I had these friends in high school. The I also love that Carrie is close with her family. One thing that drives me nuts in teen shows is the lack of parents. Yeah, parents are very present in a teenager's life. Whether it is a lack of parenting (like Maggie's parents) or Helicopter parenting (Carries Dad). Parents have an effect in their kid's lives.
Speaking of the parents, Carries dad, Tom has a lot of fun, Sex, and the City type storylines as well. It asks that question, how and when does a widower start dating? How does he, after twenty years of marriage, move on. I really liked Carrie's dad because he felt real to me. I buy he is a widower and a parent. Same goes for the Interview magazine crew. Larrisa, who is insane, is a lot of fun. She gets Carrie into so many situations it makes sense that later on, Carrie isn't all that phased anymore. She is also a wise woman.
I was never interested in the romantic relationships of the teenagers. Sebastian Kidd (yes, you must say his name like that) is a test run Mr. Big. Carrie has experience dealing with a Mr. Big in this world. I kept expecting, if we got a season 3, to see Carrie run into Mr. Big at college. My guess would be he is in graduate school or just coming back to give a talk to a class she attends. It would have been funny if she blew him off. Sorry, I just went into fanfiction land.
Yes, I feel like this show deserved more time to develop and a better network. It could have been a fun show for not only long time fans of Sex and the City but teenagers who are just discovering the show for themselves. I know it been almost two years, but I'd like the show to be revived somehow.
What do you think? Did you watch The Carrie Diaries? Leave your opinion or comment below!
Until next time, before there was sex before there was the city, there was just me. Amanda. Amanda Jane. See you next week.

How To Teach Teenagers To Be Responsible With Money
Money Management For Kids & Teens In A Consumer Society
It's been said many times that we live in a consumer society. Kids develop that demanding "give me" attitude at a very early age.
It's no wonder this occurs when you consider the endless amount of advertising they are exposed to which constantly flashes new toys and cereals in front of kids and tempts teens with new electronic gadgets/the latest clothes/the hot music of the moment, etc.
Parents who try to indulge the kids in their endless craving never having enough stuff really aren't doing them any favors.
If you didn't start trying to teach kids to manage money earlier, or despite your best efforts, teenagers have still developed these bad consumer spending habits, then there is still help out there.
ING, the giant banking company, has a blog dedicated to saving. They have some suggestions to utilize teenagers endless obsession with cell phone texting to get them to think about money management. They also suggest other ways to use technology to get kids interested in learning about saving.
Through product recommendations, Someone Else's Kids acts as an affiliate marketing partner for Zazzle & Amazon.

NASA's Galaxy Evolution explorer in standby mode
(PhysOrg.com) -- NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, or Galex, was placed in standby mode today as engineers prepare to end mission operations, nearly nine years after the telescope's launch. The spacecraft is scheduled to be decommissioned -- taken out of service -- later this year. The mission extensively mapped large portions of the sky with sharp ultraviolet vision, cataloguing millions of galaxies spanning 10 billion years of cosmic time.
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer launched into space from a Pegasus XL rocket in April of 2003. Since completing its prime mission in the fall of 2007, the mission was extended to continue its census of stars and galaxies.
The mission's science highlights include the discovery of a gigantic comet-like tail behind a speeding star, rings of new stars around old galaxies, and "teenager" galaxies, which help to explain how galaxies evolve. The observatory also helped confirm the existence of the mysterious substance or force known as dark energy, and even caught a black hole devouring a star.

text: Sesame Street has done plenty of TV and movie parodies in its time, but rarely do they step this far into R-rated territory. On the surface, "Game of Chairs" is a simple skit about musical chairs -- except, you know, the part where everyone is based on characters from HBO's Game of Thrones. Though technically you could say this segment is about helping youngsters learn their numbers, it also contains a number of jokes meant specifically for people who have watched every episode of a show that contains a boatload of nudity, sex and murder. The disturbing mixed messaging sort of makes you wonder what Sesame Street's endgame is -- what are they trying to do, engage audiences of all ages in substantive quality programming?

D – Under the motto "Come and visit us! Welcome home!" Daiber, Fare, Geiger-Notes, Halfar, Jung Bonbon/emotion factory, koziol, LM Accessoires/Aditan, mbw and uma invited the promotional products trade to the event series Welcome Home for the sixth time in succession. From December 1-10, 2015 the suppliers presented their novelties for the coming year at six locations throughout Germany – including four company locations – and in the scope of site tours and workshops gave the visitors insights into their idea development processes, production and customising technologies.
The tour kicked off at the premises of koziol (1.12.), followed by uma (2.12.), who became a member of the supplier group in 2015. The first week of the event series came to a close at an event location near Munich on 3.12. After stopping off in Hamburg (8.12.), the second week continued on to Halfar (9.12.), before the product show came to a close at Fare (10.12.).
According to the organisers, 757 visitors from 293 companies (2014: 755 visitors) took advantage of the opportunity to scout for new products away from the hustle and bustle of big trade fairs, engage in intense consulting discussions and get to know the supplier partners on-site. The exhibitors also welcomed the opportunity of being able to present their novelties at an early stage and facilitate the management of the work-intensive business at the beginning of the year.

Need writing inspiration for the new year? Consider this: Today, January 2nd is Run it up the Flagpole and See if Anyone Salutes Day. Just remember to keep it brief.
For those of you with a food inclination, the month of January is National Soup Month and National Oatmeal Month. Now, I have never seen nor tasted an Oatmeal soup, but who knows, 2016 could be the year.
January is also National Bath month. I hope that doesn't mean you are only supposed to take only one this month. If so, some people might be too ripe too soon for me to have the stomach to eat anything, let alone Oatmeal Soup.
It is also National Braille Literacy Month. If you can't read Braille, does that mean you suffer from tactile dysfunction? Does Cialis have a pill for that?

Columbia Public Schools Discuss Redistricting
Related Story
COLUMBIA - More than forty-five parents and members of the Secondary Enrollment Planning Committee gathered at Smithton Middle School Thursday night to discuss plans for redistricting the Columbia Public School system.
This discussion focused on elementary and middle school students, and how the upcoming changes would affect them. Current sixth graders will be the first class to attend a four year high school from ninth to twelfth grade. The seventh grade class will attend four different schools by the time students graduate.
Several parents expressed concerns about their childrens' transitions from school to school, splitting siblings up in separate high schools, and travel times to the new high school. The committee addressed the parents' worries, and is taking all of them into consideration. The committee is considering a clause that will "grandfather" younger siblings into the same school as the older child, to avoid splitting families between high schools.
Most of the parents at the meeting seemed content with the committee's response to their questions and concerns. "It looks like they're really thinking things through, and I'm excited that they'll be smaller classes. It looks like there will be a lot of benefits," said parent Jennifer Rosenblad. The committee, made up of twelve people involved in Columbia Public Schools and ten people from the community, hopes to make its final decisions about redistricting in December.

I bought the Carta Bella Giddy Up 6x6 stack with my cousin's daughter in mind. She LOVES horses. So, this is her birthday card. I cut the horse and fence cut from the Country Life cartridge at 2 ¾". The Fiskars sentiment is stamped on a punched oval and then frames by a scallop oval that was punched. The Dear Lizzy ribbon adds a really girly tu-tu like touch.

Floral 50!
Today I have a flower card that I made for a co-worker who turned 50! I started with the base from DCWV La Creme mat stack and then the frame is from Elegant Edges, Design1-S at 4 1/4", also using paper from the La Creme mat stack. The flowers were all cut from Mother's Day Bouquet, using various flower cuts ranging from 1/2" - 1 1/2" and then put together using dimensional foam dots and brads in the centers. The stems of the flowers are black gems from the Michael's bins and the stamp is from Inkadinkado.

FC: Magnificent Matter
1: Magnificent Matter Written by: Miss Cox's 5th Grade Class 2009-2010 Fabulous Fifth Graders: JaKobie, Mason, Riley, Brady, Myles, Elijah, Jordan, Elliott, Aubre, Crystal, Jacob, Karina, Ryan, Latrice, Tyler, Shanan, Kaitlyn, DeJuan, Dallas, Hunter, Hayley, Samantha, Madison, Hannah, Abby, and Skyler
2: Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Everything is matter...even a living person! Matter can change from one state to another. Matter is the substance of which all physical objects are made. Matter is everything around you. Elliott, Myles, and Shanan | What is matter?
4: The three states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. Plasma may also be considered a fourth state of matter. Abby, Aubre, and Tyler | The States of Matter...
5: Solids... | Solids keep their shape unless they are broken. In solids, the particles are arranged in a regular pattern and touch each other.
6: Liquids... | Liquids are one of the three states of matter. The particles are close together but are not fixed in place.
7: Gases are all around you. You can feel gas when the wind blows. | Gases... | Try This... You will need one balloon, a water bottle, baking soda, and vinegar. Pour baking soda in the balloon and some vinegar in the bottle. Attach the balloon to the mouth of the bottle, and watch the magic happen.
8: Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Hannah, Kaitlyn, and Skyler | What is mass?
9: Among all the objects, the object with the greatest mass is the car.
10: Using a balance is one way to measure mass. To measure mass using a balance, you put the object you want to measure on one side and put the weights on the other side to even out the balance. Mass is measured in grams. | How to measure mass... | 106 g
11: The first picture contains sugar cubes being measured (19g). In the second picture, we measured the mass of the wooden cube (7g). The last picture contains a ping pong ball being measured using the balance (2g). The balance works like a seesaw. | Dallas, DeJuan, Elijah, and Mason
12: Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. All objects have volume. For example, helium gas has volume because it takes up space in a balloon.. | What is volume? | Brady, Jacob, JaKobie, and Hunter
13: Measuring the volume of a liquid... | ...using graduated cylinders. The largest beaker has a volume of 1000 mL.
14: Crystal, Karina, and Latrice One way to measure volume of a solid object is to use a mathematical formula. Multiply the length by the width by the height to find the volume. (LxWxH) To measure the volume of an irregular shape, use a graduated cylinder. Using water displacement, you can find the volume of the object. | How to measure volume...
15: The unit of measurement for the volume of a solid is cubic centimeters. The unit of measurement for the volume of a liquid is milliliters (mL). | Water Displacement: 1. Add water to a graduated cylinder and measure the amount. 2. Drop the object into the water. 3. Record the new level of water in mL. 4. Subtract the starting mL from the final to find the volume of the object. | 25 mL | 10 mL | 100 mL
16: What is density? | Everybody has the same question, what is density? Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of an object. It measures how tightly matter is packed into an object. The formula for density is density equals mass divided by volume. You measure density in grams per cubic centimeters. | Riley
17: The Diet Coke and the Coke have the same volume. If they have the same volume, why does one float and the other sink? This happens because the Coke has more sugar than the Diet Coke, which means that the coke is more dense than the diet coke. | Coke and Diet Coke | Hayley
18: What are lava lamps? Lava lamps are an experiment you can do when learning about density. After combining the oil, water, and salt, you can tell that oil has a lower density than water because it floats on top of the water. The salt has a greater density than water because it sinks to the bottom. Madison | Lava Lamps
19: What is a seven layer density column? A seven layered column is an experiment you can do when learning about density. It shows the density of the ingredients. The honey, which is on the bottom, has the greatest density. The lamp oil has the lowest density because it floats on top. Samantha | Seven Layer Density Column
20: Try this! | What do I need? - A glass jar - Vegetable Oil - Salt - Water - Food coloring What do I do? 1. Pour about 3 inches of water into the jar. 2. Pour 1/3 cup of oil into the jar. 3. Add one or two drops of food coloring. 4. Shake salt on top of the oil while you count slowly to five. Jordan and Ryan | What do I do? 1. Pour about 3 inches of water into the jar. 2. Pour 1/3 cup of vegetable oil into the jar. 3. If you want, add one drop of food coloring the the jar. 4. Shake salt on top of the oil while you count slowly to five. | Salt Volcano Lava Lamps
21: 1. Why does the oil float on top of the water? 2. What has the greatest density?

This very rare camera is the UK version of the No. 4 Eureka. There the Eureka name was already in use by W. Rouch & Co. for a plate camera, so Eastman Kodak had to rename their Eureka.
The Zenith was introduced in October 1899 and discontinued in 1900. Only 1000 were made, starting from serial number 701. The example in this video has number 881. It is rarely seen today.
There is no difference between the Eureka and Zenith, except for the name, which is printed inside the back door, on the focusing scale and on the strap.
The Eureka and Zenith cameras could take glass plate holders as well as a roll film holder. My camera was used with glass plates and still has its ground glass.Below are two photos that were taken from the ground glass image in the back of this No. 4 Zenith. They do not show the quality of the photos that could be made with this instrument, but are examples of a modern creative process that is called Through the Viewfinder photography.
Both photos are taken on the old graveyard in Roermond.
Both photos copyright Jos Erdkamp, 2015

Would you like to look and feel AMAZING every single day? Would you like to have more energy, health, and vitality than what you have become accustomed to?
Let's face it. For some of us, getting out of bed is somewhat of a chore. We went to bed late the night before, so we're still tired and barely awake when we stumble out of bed as the alarm goes off. We grab the first thing that looks like food, and then we dash off to work or school. Then, when we're hungry, we grab anything that looks good to us.
Of course, I may be exaggerating a little. (Or maybe not, depending on your situation.)
But seriously, to become the very best versions of ourselves, performing at maximum capacity, we need to optimize our health. It's the first of the seven pillars of the best life.
So here are seven well-researched strategies for improving the quality of your health:
The foundation of health is a good night's sleep.
Many people...
One quiet evening many many years ago, I was sitting alone in my room, reading.
Suddenly, a profound realization hit me with the force of a Mack truck. I no longer remember the title of the book, but what I read is etched in my memory forever:
"Your life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once."
—Lillian Dickson
Twenty words that changed my life forever. I decided at that very moment to find out what life was for in the first place. It just made perfect sense to me.
Socrates once said, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
To continue to live my life without a clear understanding of its purpose is like taking a ship to the ocean without a clear destination. I didn't want to become another ship lost at sea. I didn't want to end up an unhappy old man filled with so many regrets. Before I leave port, I want to know my exact destination. Otherwise, I would be wasting precious time and fuel.
How about you? Have you ever...

New Oxford policy for RCUK Open Access block grant
lterrat's bookmarks 2017-08-12
"Oxford researchers are advised that the University's Research Committee has approved a revised policy for allocating funds from the RCUK Open Access block grant.
In order to best manage the limited funds remaining in our 2017/18 RCUK block grant, the new policy will take effect on Monday 21st August 2017 and prioritise Article Processing Charges for fully open access journals.
For hybrid journals, RCUK-funded authors should not choose the (paid) Open Access option but use the 'green route' – deposit the accepted manuscript in ORA for Act on Acceptance. Longer embargo periods are permitted if block grant money for APCs is unavailable: 12 months for STEM, 24 months AHSS (see RCUK's FAQ 2.2, 'What happens if there is no money to pay…?')."

Having a length of approximately 151 km, Transafagarasan is the most spectacular road in Romania and maybe in the entire world. Transfagarasan crosses the Fagaras Mountains, starting at Bascov, Arges County and comes close to Cartisoara, Sibiu County, connecting the two historical provinces, Muntenia and Transylvania. Transfagarasan has in all 830 foot-bridges and 27 viaducts and it is closed, annually, between November the 1st and June the 30th, on the section between kilometre 104 at Piscu Negru and kilometre 130 at Balea Cascada Cabin. During this period, Balea Lake can be accessed only via the ropeway from Balea Cascada Cabin.
Along Transfagarasan there are many places worth visiting and captured in pictures, with dream-like landscapes that take your breath.
The first section of Transfagarasan passes before the hydro-electric power plant at Vidraru, then, close to Poienari Citadel, on a road full of viaducts and curves, leading to Vidraru Dam. Poienari Citadel is known due to Vlad Tepes, being built by him, and it features 5 towers and walls as thick as nearly 3 meters.
Vidraru Dam was inaugurated in 1966, at that time being the ninth largest dam in the world, and building it lasted for 5 years. Vidraru Dam is one of the main attractions along Transfagarasan, the tourists coming across the mountains to reach Vidraru Lake, one of the largest artificial lakes in Romania. Vidraru Lake and Dam are at an altitude of 830 meters and represent one of the most popular stop-over places along Transfagarasan, and here is also the highest bungee jumping point in Romania.
From Vidraru Dam, the road carries on to Balea Lake, a glacial lake located at an altitude of 2040 meters. Balea Lake is a real marvel of nature, with a dream-like landscape, and no tourist should ever miss on their camera. There is also the first ice hotel in Eastern Europe, open from January to March, offering 16 accommodation seats. The access to the ice hotel is via the ropeway, the boarding point being close to Balea Cascada Cabin, where cars can reach also in winter.
So, Transfagarasan is a route worth taking at least once in a lifetime. Even Jeremy Clarkson, member of the Top Gear TV show on BBC, said that Transfagarasan is the finest road in the world and that he would stay forever in Romania, after having tested 3 speed cars on Transfagarsan in 2009. If you want a roadtrip on Transfagarasan, don't hesitate to book our tour.

In the past week, I have done two interviews with broadcasters, both on the issue of press ethics and press regulation – both courtesy of my listing on the Expert Sources website.
When the email popped into my inbox from Talk Radio Europe and the call came from Al Jazeera America (yes, really), I realised I'd have to do a good job.
Now was the time to put my money where my mouth is and put into practice all the lessons we teach on our media training courses.
After all, I can't spend my life telling experts and business leaders how to do interesting, intelligent and engaging interviews, then not perform myself.
So I did what I tell every single delegate on our courses to do – I prepared.
I did a lot of research into the topic, I listened to the presenters online and I asked lots of questions.
Granted, there was a momentary panic when I discovered the radio interview would last 25 minutes, but then I reasoned that an interview that long wouldn't be designed to trip me up, but to discuss my area of expertise in depth – after all, it wasn't the 8.10 slot on the Today programme.
The Al Jazeera America interview was totally different. It was a soundbite to be used within the report into the opening of the trial of Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson.
That meant the reporter would need a couple of lines from me at most, so all I had to do was work out what I wanted to say, my "key messages", and make sure I put them across.
The reason for agreeing to both interviews was that they helped position me, and by extension Rough House, as an expert my field, the media, and would enhance both my, and the company's, reputation.
I really enjoyed the Talk Radio Europe interview, and I think it went well – judge for yourself here.
It was somewhat strange being on the other side of the lens for the Al Jazeera America interview – but hopefully it was helpful for the reporter that I knew exactly what to expect!
That's not been aired yet – I'll post a link when I have it.
Making the most of media opportunities is what we aim to empower our clients to do, which is why we have teamed up with Sue Rizzello of Potion PR to create brand new workshops designed for business leaders who are serious about growing the business and enhancing their reputation.
The first, Leadership Communications, Risk, Responsibility and Reputation, is being held on 22 November in Ascot, Berkshire. It will give leaders the 3Rs of communications leadership: managing risk, responsibility and reputation. It will enable them to learn and share experience, develop confidence and capability to control and command organisational communications and step up to their role as the company's most powerful communications asset.
Places are still available and you can find out more here.

Wooden grist mills, brick textile mills, and concrete lofts in our towns and cities all attest to Connecticut's long manufacturing history. Many of these buildings have been adapted to new uses such as museums, housing or office space, but we have all seen others lifeless and neglected.
Making Places: Historic Mills of Connecticut is an initiative of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation to document the state's historic factories and to encourage their reuse through education and technical assistance. An introduction to the program will be followed by select survey findings, notably as they pertain to Stonington.
Making Places is funded by the State Historic Preservation Office, Department of Economic and Community Development of the State of Connecticut, and the Community Investment Act.
Renée Tribert, has been Project Manager for Making Places since 2014, after a sixteen year preservation hiatus spent in environmental consulting. She has an MS in Historic Preservation from the University of Pennsylvania and has been curator/collections manager at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House and the New Britain Museum of American Art.

Eythora Thorsdottir's new floor routine, for those so inclined toward gym-fangirling like me (JPT, hi!). Not going to make such a statement as Sophina DeJesus' amazing NCAA floor routine, but holy shit guys - it's a floor routine about ZOMBIES!
I like zombies and I like this routine. It's one of the few this quad where the dance elements don't feel contrived and box-ticky. Say what you will about the tumbling skills, but the dance DEFINITELY flows more than most. I posted Shang Chunsong's 2014 World's floor routine on a past comment thread by JustPassingThrough, which has a similarly creepy vibe to this one and also really good dance, so apparently that's now my jam.
It won't win, though - I think Simone Biles first and Aly Raisman second have this sewn up, assuming Aly is indeed on the team and Simone stays injury-free. But it's hella fun to watch! Zombie dance, man!
