By MitchellMany leaders operate in a comfort zone, where mediocrity is concealed by the size, prominence or wealth of the organization. Sometimes the mere fact of being president, chairman or CEO of a major international company, or being a cabinet minister, or a general or even an archbishop can be enough for you to be recognized as a giant in your field, almost irrespective of how well or how ineffectively you are doing the job. Such people can become over-protected by the infrastructure they inherit. They become self-important and distracted by their title, the acreage of their office, the private elevator, the prominence of their parking space and the sycophancy of their advisers. The endless courtesies and privileges are often highly intoxicating, not just for them but also for their spouses and even for their secretaries, yet they serve only to distract the leader from the key elements of what he or she is supposed to be doing. Power and influence can be destructive and dangerous commodities, and it is therefore not surprising that, when problems arise, many of these people prove unable to deal with them.

One person was killed and dozens injured as some rockets landed up to 70km inside Israel, the deepest so far.
The upsurge came as Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel had destroyed Hezbollah's infrastructure.
Israel renewed air strikes on the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh, a Shia Muslim area, early on Thursday.
At least three explosions were reported in an area extensively bombed earlier in Israel's campaign, in the first air strikes on the Lebanese capital for several days.
The Israeli prime minister has insisted there would be no ceasefire until an international force was deployed in southern Lebanon.
"I said I'd be ready to enter a ceasefire when the international forces, not will be ready, but will be deployed," Mr Olmert said of the timetable for a halt to the violence.
The hail of Hezbollah rockets came after Israeli troops raided Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold in north-east Lebanon, seizing five people they said were Hezbollah fighters. Hezbollah said they were civilians.
An Israeli soldier was killed in heavy fighting with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Four other Israeli soldiers were injured, when an anti-tank missile struck the house in which they were sheltering in the village of Aita al-Shaab.
One Hezbollah rocket killed a man near the Israeli town of Nahariya on the west coast, bringing the number of Israeli civilians killed since the conflict started to 19.
About three dozen more Israeli soldiers have also died.
In Lebanon, about 750 people - mainly civilians - have been killed by Israeli action, according to the Lebanese health minister. This figure includes unrecovered bodies.
Clashes have been continuing in southern Lebanon between Hezbollah and a force of Israeli troops now said to number around 12,000.
The Israeli campaign began three weeks ago after Hezbollah militants captured two Israeli soldiers.
In other developments:
The BBC's Richard Miron says that, before Wednesday's upsurge in Hezbollah rocket attacks, some northern Israeli residents had begun returning home, believing that the Israeli army had dealt with the threat.
Hezbollah militants have claimed they used a new type of rocket for the attack - a Khaibar-1, thought by the Israelis to be a modified Iranian Fajr-5, which has a longer range than the Katyusha rockets they usually fire into Israel.
One rocket fired on Wednesday landed near Jenin in the West Bank - believed to be the furthest any of the militants' rockets had reached since the conflict began.
A Hezbollah spokesman, Ghalib Abu Zeinab, said in an interview with the BBC Arabic Service that the latest attacks showed that Hezbollah was unbroken.
"The rockets that have been raining down since this morning... and the firing of a missile over a distance of 70km, all this proves that the Lebanese resistance still has a high capability, including a missile capability," he said.
Israeli Interior Minister Avi Dichter told the BBC that although Hezbollah remained active, he was confident Israel would achieve its aims in Lebanon.
"Hezbollah is still alive, but the mission of this operation is not to crack down Hezbollah totally," he said.
"We're trying to minimise the number of rockets launched towards Israel, and we know that all other targets that we have put right at the beginning of this special operation are going to be fulfilled."

Japanese Title: Ao no Exorcist
Series: Blue Exorcist #5
Manga-ka: Kazue Kato
Genre: Young Adult Fiction, Graphic Novels, Older Teen Ages 16+
Publisher: Viz Media, Shonen Jump Advanced, Shueisha Inc.
Format: Paperback, 183 Pages
Release Date: December 6, 2011
Source: Borrowed from Wentworth Library
Rating: 4/5
Tagline(s): Fight hellfire with hellfire!
Summary: In the late Edo Period, a demon known as the Impure King killed thousands of people. After defeating the demon, the Knights of the True Cross kept its left eye safely sealed away on Academy grounds--but now someone has stolen it! Hearing the thief has taken a child hostage, Yukio and Rin go to help. The investigation and pursuit will lead Rin and his friends to Kyoto and involve them even deeper in a sinister plot! But will his friends' knowledge that Rin is the son of Satan drive a wedge between them?
Rin is still feeling the brunt of his classmate's feelings of betrayal and discomfort, but more important things are happening than hurt feelings. The left eye of the Impure King has been stolen and the right eye is next on the list. In an attempt to steal the right eye of the Impure King, the Kyoto Field Office was attacked, leaving many injured. Rin and company are sent with a group of Exorcists to help the injured and defend against another attack.
Rin's situation is the classic classmate alienation because he's misunderstood and they only see what they want in Rin. They see the half-demon son of Satan with his blue flame, so he must be evil, too, right? They don't see someone who watched as Satan killed his foster father, Father Fujimoto, but a demon who is uncontrollable. You would think that Bon, Shima, and Konekomaru would understand how Rin feels about defeating Satan and how determined he is to accomplish it. They've had family killed by Satan during the Blue Night incident, just as Father Fujimoto was killed by Satan when Rin came into his powers. I really think they need to give Rin a break and try to understand and get to know him. Rin has enough on his plate without his friends treating him like some kind of leper.
Going to Kyoto means going home for Bon, Shima, and Konekomaru. We learn about the connection between their families, Bon's father's abandonment of the Myodha and the failure of the temple that caused it to become affiliated with the Knights of the True Cross, Bon's determination to become and Exorcist and defeat Satan, and finally the conflict between the Shima and Hojo families. When the two families tasked with keeping order within the followers of Myodha, Shima and Hojo, are at each other's throats, things are bound to fall apart unless they can work together.
Another attack is being planned by the end of Volume 5 for the right eye of the Impure King. Who is behind these thefts and what are they planning? I can't wait to see what happens in the next volume.

I use the Portal impersonation feature. I have a requirement that the impersonation process stay on the same server throughout the impersonation process - i.e. "sticky server". Namely, I have a custom dynacache that I need to share between the users throughout the impersonation process and that custom dynacache is not replicated to other cluster members. Can the Portal impersonation process allow me to remain on the same server?
Answer by Travis Cornwell (1872) | Aug 06, 2015 at 05:57 PM
A login to WebSphere Portal issues two cookies - the LTPAToken2 cookie and the JSESSIONID cookie. The LTPAToken2 cookie allows a user to reenter the protected area of the Portal server without reentering their username and password every time. The JSESSIONID cookie is a part of the servlet specification. In addition, in a Portal cluster utilizing a web server with a Plugin, the JSESSIONID cookie helps ensure a user remains on the same Portal server in the cluster.
By default, the Portal impersonation process perform a full logout as you transition between userIDs. The logout process invalidates the JSESSIONID and LTPAToken2 cookies. Thus, by default the logout destroying the cookies will not allow for the impersonation process to remain on the same server throughout the impersonation process.
A configuration property is available which does allow for the JSESSIONID in the browser to be preserved, but the session data on the server to be destroyed during the impersonation process. As a result, the user switching can guarantee a return to the same server throughout the Portal impersonation process, while ensuring there is no crossover of data between the users.
To enable this functionality, ensure you are on a code level that includes APAR PM75751 and perform the following steps after the APAR is installed:
1) Login to the Deployment Manager
2) Navigate to Resources > Resource Environment Providers > WP AuthenticationService > Custom Properties
3) Create a new custom property
Name: jsessionid.cookie.expire
Value: false
Type: java.lang.String
4) Save changes. Sync nodes.
5) Restart the Portal server(s).

Note: If Session Security Integration is enabled (default settings in Portal 8.5 and 9.0) - this setting will conflict and impersonation will not work successfully. Contact IBM Support via a new PMR to discuss specifics.

We offer comprehensive security assessments as standalone consulting engagements, or embedded within a security architecture improvement project. Comprehensive assessments span people and the organization, processes and procedures, and security technologies. The table below lists examples of security domains we cover.
We can conduct assessments of a security program against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, COBIT, or a combination. Our own library of over 400 security controls – which have been been mapped to the NIST, ISO, and COBIT control sets – provide us with a large number of interview questions and evaluation criteria.
General Methodology
We work with clients up front to determine what level of depth and project methodology makes most sense for their situation and budget. With all assessments, our consultants pose questions to probe into our assessment criteria up to a point appropriate to the client's level of maturity in the domain, and to discover related risk indicators. This enables us to provide a proritized gap analysis.
We have a standard set of tools we use for comprehensive assessments as well as focused assessments and custom or specialized assessments. Where necessary we work with clients to prepare tailored assessment questionnaires and interview schedules. After conducting a series of interviews and rolling up the results for client review, we generate a draft report, take comments, and provide a final report.
We can offer onsite assessment workshop delivery, or a combination of online and onsite workshops. Workshops combine informational presentations and group facilitation methodologies with our standard assessment service elements. For example, we could facilitate a brainstorming or team-building day for security stakeholders with an assessment service and/or we could tailor our criteria to vary the level of coverage for specific security domains.
We deliver a "Current State Assessment and Gap Analysis" identifying these findings on program-wide and domain-by-domain level. We prioritize and cluster the gaps by domains, and provide a preliminary roadmap with recommendations for closing the gaps to support developing a business case for program improvement. After an assessment, we offer an optional support package through our trusted adviser program, or flow forward into an architecture engagement.
Please see our FAQ to understand how we propose and deliver engagements, or contact us for more information.

the advertising standards authority in britain has ruled that mortal kombat: deadly alliance was irresponsible in its advertising campaign. the ad, which features a teen wiping his bloody hand on the shoulder of a businessman with the logo "it's in us all," created quite a stir. midway games argues that neither the ad nor the game was aimed at children, but we all know that's not true. the company added that the poster does not depict a crime or violent act. it also apologized for offending anyone, but still has to consult with an industry advisory board before running anymore ads in britain. mortal kombat has sold more than one million copies worldwide since its november release.

Located right alongside the Union Canal, this old Milk Shed has been here for a long time.
Back in the very early day's of the Union Canal there used to be a working Farm here. This was the way that produce, and milk were kept cold with a natural Spring that once ran thru the Shed. There were no refrigerators then, no ice, and no air conditioning anywhere to be found. If you open the door, there is nothing there except storage for the Park Service. One or two old milk cans are all that is left. The old Barn is just off to the right of my Image. Now used by the Park Service for bathrooms, and a small soda fountain that never seems to be open.
Thank you.

Life as We Knew It
By Susan Beth Pfeffer
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Date of Publication: 2006
Reader's Annotation:
After an asteroid destroys a portion of the moon, humanity must struggle to survive against the Earth's changing catastrophic conditions.
Plot Summary:
Miranda Evans has a simple, normal life. She still has the complexities of having divorced parents, a new sibling on the way, and regularly scheduled homework. But maybe compared to some kids, Miranda's life is a happy one.
One night an asteroid hits the moon, knocking it out of its orbit, leaving the moon only two-thirds whole. In that moment, the Eastern Seaboard has been flooded and there are worldwide reports of massive tsunamis destroying ocean communities, even countries. Slowly, Miranda's life begins to change for the worse. There's gas rationing, electricity is scarce, and food has become the most valuable commodity in the world.
As the days go by, the situation doesn't seem to be getting better. Friends leave or die and family members are lost or missing. It's now every man for themselves. For Miranda and her family, it's a fight to survive another day.
Critical Evaluation:
Susan Beth Pfeffer initially drew inspiration for the story from a B-movie called Meteor, which starred Sean Connery and Natalie Wood. After watching the film, and dismissing it's horrible premise, Pfeffer began to question what would happen if a teen was faced with an apocalyptic scenario. The resulting answer was Life as We Know It.
The book is a dark piece of fiction as with each day that is presented in Miranda's diary any lingering hope of survival continues to diminish. Pfeffer is honest in the grim portrayal and presents a realistic idea of what the damage to the moon could cost the inhabitants of the Earth.
The characters of the story are portrayed as realistic in that there is a desire for the past to return as life would be easier. But handling a catastrophic transition isn't easy for anyone and such changes don't happen over night. Miranda's mother is portrayed as practical, looking at the means of helping her children survive instead of just her own well-being. The young adult reactions are a mixture of selfish desire and with scared realization. Again, there is honesty in the characterizations which makes the novel hard to read at times since you know everything will not be rosy.
It is not a happy tale and those looking for a joyful ending would be better served looking else where for their entertainment. Pfeffer succeeds in this endeavor in that she writes well, which is reflected in Miranda's observations.
Information about the author:
From Susan Beth Pfeffer's Blog, Pfeffer is the writer of over 70 books. Her focus has been towards Young Adult and Children's fiction starting with the publication of her book Rainbows and Fireworks in 1973. Pfeffer lives in New York with her cat and continues to write fiction, with titles outside of The Last Survivors series.

Curriculum Ties:
Astronomy, Survival Skills
Booktalking Ideas:
What would you first do if the world was about to end?
What supplies would you need if you hope to survive a catastrophe?
Reading Level/Interest Age:
Kirkus Reviews suggests an age range of 19-20. The book features a sixteen protagonist was written for a young adult audience. I would suggest an age range of 16 and up.
Challenging Issues:
There are no current challenges for this book. The American Library Association's Guide to Library Materials Challenges is a great resource if the book is challenged in the future.
Potential Issues would be nightmares caused by anxiety of the characters' conditions.
Why did I include this book in the title selections?
When I first picked up this book, I couldn't finish it. The story became too depressing and it felt too tangible. When I picked up the book a few months later, I found that the story was still engaging but I could handle the apocalyptic storyline better. There are a great number of dystopian books for Young Adults on the market today. Susan Beth Pfeffer's tale of Earthly doom gives a realistic perspective of what would happen in this type of disaster. And for that reason alone, I think it's a great book to give to teens. It's a great alternative to mainstream dystopia.

Nicole Scherzinger maintains glamour in casual jacket and jeans on way to X Factor live results... after flashing her abs in gruelling workout on Instagram
She made a show-stopping appearance on the first X Factor live show on Saturday night.
And Nicole Scherzinger proved she looks just as good dressed-down on Sunday, as she arrived at the ITV Studios to film the results show.
The pop star, 38, still looked incredibly glamorous in a dressed-down jeans and jacket ensemble - showing no signs of tiredness from the late night and her gruelling workout earlier that day.
Scroll down for video
Off-duty beauty: Nicole Scherzinger, 38, looked glamorous in a casual ensemble on Sunday - showing no signs of tiredness from the first X Factor live show and her gruelling workout
The X Factor judge looked as fierce as ever as she pouted her way into the studios - proving she meant business for the evening's results show.
Opting for a more casual look in anticipation of a second glamorous dress later on, the brunette dressed in simple black skinny jeans, featuring an unusual tiny rip on the thigh.
Channeling her inner rock chick, Nicole paired the bottoms with a cropped logo band T-shirt, which gave a flash of her enviably flat and gym-honed stomach.
Work it: The X Factor judge looked as fierce as ever as she pouted her way into the studios - proving she meant business for the evening's results show
Maintaining the grungier vibe the former Pussycat Doll completed the outfit with a sleek black leather jacket, adorned with silver hardware and zips, and a classic black fedora hat.
Enjoying the brief London sunshine, the ex of Lewis Hamilton added a set of retro rounded shades to her face - made funkier by bright blue mirrored lenses.
Adding a slick of rouge lipstick and impeccable sparkling nails with a black tip, that star looked effortlessly and naturally cool as she headed into the studios to doll herself up for the evening's main event.
Biker chick: Nicole clad herself in a grungy leather jacket and cropped band tee, paired with a classic black fedora and funky blue-lens shades
Despite having a fairly successful evening with her Boys - with contestant Matt Terry wowing the judges and fans on social media - Nicole shielded her joy as she arrived at ITV, perhaps nervous of the upcoming elimination.
The singer had dazzled the previous evening for the first round of live shows in a saucy black and gold cut-out gown.
The one-shoulder number featured a dramatic gold halterneck style and a metal-encrusted bra and was finished with a daring side split - flaunting her seemingly endless pins and incredible toned and tanned figure.
Show-stopping: The singer had dazzled the previous evening for the first round of live shows in a saucy black and gold cut-out gown
Make jaws drop to floor in a gown like Nicole's
The X Factor live shows got off to a dramatic start and that was in no small part due to Nicole Scherzinger's dazzling Philipp Plein dress.
It was easy for Nicole to steal the spotlight away from the contestants in this black, full-length evening gown that was cut-a-way to reveal a gold bodice. Not only did it draw all eyes to her incredible physique but it made Simon blush at least once.
The German designer behind this great feat of tailoring was inspired by stormtroopers, which we can kind of see if we squint and imagine the Star Wars soldiers in eveningwear.
Sadly Nicole's dress is not available to buy, but if you're happy to leave the intergalactic references to a side there are some beautiful cut-out black gowns out there that will have a similar jaw-drop effect. Take a scroll of our edit below.
Work hard play hard: Posting a video of her gruelling workout earlier that day to Instagram, Nicole highlighted that her incredible body does not come without hard work
However the singer showed that her impressive physique was not without hard work earlier on Saturday, as she took to Instagram to film her intense TRX workout for fans.
Dressed in patterned leggings and a black V-neck sports bra, the star flashed her rippling abs for all to see in the video, which showcased her incredible strength and flexibility.
She first embarked on a set of squats finished by a kick, which saw her lengthy leg soar all the way up to her head, showing off her dance talent.
Sweating it out: She embarked on various crunches and pike movements in the video, with the resistance of notoriously tough TRX ropes
She then posted various shots of her performing pikes, crunches and leg lifts on the exhausting ropes - even showing off a difficult headstand for her fans.
Clearly wanting to look her best for the most exciting round of the ITV series, the ex of Lewis Hamilton captioned the video: 'Getting pumped and ready for first live shows tonight!'
Nicole often shows off the fruits of her labours on her Instagram - posting workout snaps and move sequences alongside gorgeous holiday shots in her bikini.
So THAT's how she gets in shape... She then posted various shots of her performing pikes, crunches and leg lifts on the exhausting ropes - even showing off a difficult headstand
Looking good: Clearly wanting to look her best for the most exciting round of the ITV series, she captioned the video: 'Getting pumped and ready for first live shows tonight!'
With her killer body and bubbly personality seen on the show, it is no wonder the Hawaiian-born beauty attracts the attention of many men - including new boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov, 25.
Nicole began dating the 25-year-old tennis ace after a very public split from F1 ace Lewis Hamilton last year.
The star recently gushed about her relationship in an interview with Glamour magazine, saying: 'I am happy. I'm in a good, solid, more balanced place in my life. I've grown a lot as a woman.
'My grandma always used to say, to find the person you wanna marry, you have to find the person you wanna work on your relationship with for the rest of your life. That's the key word: work.'
Envy-inducing: Nicole often shows off the fruits of her labours on her Instagram - posting workout snaps and move sequences alongside gorgeous holiday shots in her bikini

|Joyce P. Jakubowics
|Service: June 3, 2017 (Saturday) at 11:00 a.m.
Location: Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church
Passed away at Suburban Hospital with her loved ones by her side on Sun., May 28, 2017. She is survived by her beloved husband Craig E.R. Jakubowics; son Stephan; daughter Emily; three siblings: Michael, Matthew, and Elizabeth Nolan; as well as many family members. Predeceased by her parents John S. and Adeline J. Nolan and her brother John Nolan. Born in Bethesda, MD at the Naval Hospital, Joyce loved Washington, D.C. and the surrounding metro area. She attended Little Flower Elementary School, Ursuline Academy, Connelly School of the Holy Child (where she made a number of lifelong friends), and headed north to Boston College in 1972 where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. There she met the love of her life, Craig, at the age of 19. Joyce moved back to Maryland where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Maryland in Baltimore in 1979. Joyce and Craig were married in 1980. Her life after graduating brought many more friendships as she began her work as a PT at Doctors Hospital in Prince George's County, MD, and the birth of her two children. In 1988, Joyce moved back to the Boston area and lived with her family for 11 years in Upton, MA. She spent countless days skiing and swimming at her family's cabin in Maine, continuing her work as a PT in Southborough, MA, carving pumpkins every Halloween, hiking trails all over New England, and cooking just about every recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking. In 1998, Joyce returned to her home state when the family relocated to Darnestown, MD. She continued her career at several places, most recently Manor Care Nursing Home in Potomac. Joyce loved connecting with her patients and learning their stories. She was active in her community, too – joining a neighborhood book club, frequenting Holy Child Alumnae events, and walking the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal just about every day with her labradors. She will be dearly missed by all her family and friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial on Sat., June 3, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Potomac, MD.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Joyce's name to the C&O Canal Trust: www.canaltrust.org/support/.

"You are fat…Your nose is too wide…You are too small to qualify for Eggplant Fridays…Your skin is too dark…You need the rise filter."
Those of us who spend long periods of time scanning social media are exposed to an array of messages that compel us to conform to skewed standards of beauty. However, as we look toward those impossible benchmarks, we forget to work on forming a healthy sense of self.
Photo editing software available on Instagram, Facetune, Enlight and Photoshop give us the ability to alter our appearances. With a few swipes and clicks, we can transform our pictures to look like our favourite celebrities.
Yet, the work that we do to change our looks is a reflection of how we are struggling with the concept of self-acceptance.
Of course, many people go a step further by manipulating their looks in the real world. They rely on pills, steroids, eating disorders and overworking their bodies to achieve "perfection."
Moreover, those dangerous behaviours become habits when people enjoy the short term high from likes, compliments and sexual favours.
In this episode of Trini Trent Radio, I propose a change with a simple affirmation:
"I am enough."
This is a followup to "Your Instagram Is A Liar." This is "No Rise Filter For The Soul."

He produces music videos for various YouTube musicians, such as Sam Tsui, including medley videos in which Tsui sings as a one-man choir.[4][5]

Collaboration with Sam TsuiEdit
Schneider began collaborating with Tsui while both were in high school and continued while they were at Yale; Schneider matriculated a year before.[6] He produced videos of Tsui singing covers and medleys, and has since made an online musical series (College Musical) and produced original songs.
They garnered wide media attention with a video of a Michael Jackson medley.[4][5] This video remains the 9th most viewed (more than 34 million) on Schneider's YouTube channel KurtHugoSchneider.[7] This medley is one of several in which Schneider, using video editing, creates the illusion of a one-man a cappella choir, with Tsui covering lead and backing vocals, playing multiple versions of himself.[5][8] Their medley videos have been described by Time as a combination of Glee and Attack of the Clones.[4] The viral videos led to a few appearances on national television, including The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[9][10][11][12] On February 3, 2011, Schneider's video of Tsui covering Hold It Against Me, in which Tsui sang and played the piano with Schneider on percussion, was featured on Britney Spears' official website.[13][14]
The popularity of their videos has encouraged the duo to branch out to other projects.[6] Shooting for an independent film, College Musical: The Movie, based upon their online musical series, has been completed in the summer of 2010 and the film was released September 3, 2014.[15] A series of behind-the-scenes videos for the movie, filmed and narrated by Nick Uhas, has been released on YouTube.[16] Since September 2010, Schneider and Tsui have also begun to release videos of original songs[3][17] and in May 2013, Sam Tsui's debut original album, Make It Up, was released.[18]
Other worksEdit
Schneider has also made music videos in collaboration with other artists. Popular videos include a Miley Cyrus medley sung by Christina Grimmie,[19] a duet between Tsui and Grimmie singing Just a Dream (the most viewed video on 'KurtHugoSchneider', with over a hundred and forty million views),[20] and a Starcraft-themed parody video, with Husky, of "Baby".[21] He has also parodied the infamous "Friday" by Rebecca Black with his variation being known as "Void Rays". He has collaborated with Tiffany Alvord on a Taylor Swift medley[22] and Matisse on a medley of Rihanna songs.[23] Some of his earlier videos include collaborations with now-actress Allison Williams. He has also collaborated with Max Schneider on a number of occasions: for example he directed a Bruno Mars medley for Schneider and Victoria Justice, a Maroon 5 medley and a Christmas medley.[24] Schneider also co-wrote 'Standing In China' with Schneider for Cody Simpson's album Paradise. Schneider was also an associate producer for a musical admissions video for Yale, which features a cast consisting of Tsui and fellow Yale students.[6][25]
He has also performed a cover of "Beauty and the Beat" by Justin Bieber with Alex Goot and Chrissy Costanza from Against the Current[26] as well as a cover of "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic[27] and a cover of "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato with Halocene.[28]
Collaboration with Coca-ColaEdit
In 2013, Schneider and Coca-Cola created music videos featuring creative covers of two 2011 singles: Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close" and Of Monsters and Men's "Little Talks" for a campaign called "The Sounds of AHH". Commercial edits of the singles premiered on the inaugural episode of season 13 of American Idol on January 14, 2014, on FOX.
In the two new versions, recreated by Schneider, he is shown making the track playing only Coca-Cola bottles, glasses and cans. In addition, "Feels So Close" features the vocals of Sam Tsui whereas on the track "Little Talks", he is accompanied musically by beatboxing cellist Kevin Olusola.[29]
Personal lifeEdit
Schneider was born in Baltimore to Laurie S. Auth, a visual artist, and Michael Schneider, a mathematician.[30][31] He grew up in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, where he lived just a street away from Sam Tsui, whom he met while attending middle school. They both later attended Wissahickon High School.[32] He is of German and Austrian descent on his father's side.[33][34][35] Schneider has an older sister who is a classical pianist.[36] He graduated as class Valedictorian from Wissahickon,[37] and magna cum laude from Yale University in 2010 with a degree in mathematics[3] and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.[38]
Schneider played for Yale's chess team.[37] He currently holds a USCF Elo rating of 2235, holding the title of master,[39] and can play multiple games of chess blindfolded simultaneously.[40] He played against Magnus Carlsen at the CES 2014 HRM Chess Tournament, hosted by Nordic Semiconductor in Las Vegas.[41] He is also a self-taught musician.[42]
According to Business Insider and SocialBlade, he is believed to make over a six-figure income from YouTube.[43][44]
As of August 2019, Schneider is engaged to his girlfriend of 5 years, Patty Ho.[45]

Previously known as 'All hallows' All Saints' Church dates from the 11th century and probably replaced an earlier wooden building. It was restored during 1858 to 1865 by William Butterfield. The 75 foot tower is 13th century and has 6 bells which are still in use, and a clock dated 1882. It is surrounded by a churchyard which is still open to new burials, contains a war memorial and at the east end has a recently built memorial garden.
A sound system was recently installed.
Plans exist to extend the church to incorporate toilet and kitchen facilities.
The church is usually open to visitors during daylight hours, but if you find it locked and you wish to enter then please contact the vicar or a churchwarden.

|Tri # 1, Tri #2, Tri #3. Finally got it right. No more tear stained faces.
Any long time readers of my blog would know something of my first 2 triathlon experiences. Those with any care factor of me would probably be inclined, if they had the opportunity, to kindly suggest that I don't put myself through that torture again. The first 2 didn't go so well.
I came very last in both Triathlon #1 and Triathlon #2. That didn't matter as much as the mortifying feelings I felt and the support that I didn't feel. Both were fairly horrific.
|Packed, snacks ready and early night the night before :)
So, as I do, I signed up for a third one.
I know - I do these things to myself!
My one and only goal for the day? Was to get through it without having a crying breakdown. Happy tears were ok, but sobbing and shivering and rocking and hysteria were not. I'm not as silly as I sound. This time, I had a hunch that I'd be ok because of a certain pact that I made.
See the first two triathlons I did alone. Aside from friends I knew at T#1 and lovely people I had just met at T#2 calling out words of encouragement, I was by myself. A wise friend said to me after T#2: "you don't need to do these alone."
And she was right. Call it determination, call it stupidity, call it Ever Try Ever Fail, but I decided to try just one more time to get it right. See the reason I do these tri's is not about being fast, it's about challenging myself. The mere fact that I, ex-morbidly obese Kate, talk about 'triathlons', mini
|Fun run done, now for a tri!
I borrowed my friends magical bike (thanks Sarah!), got really prepared the night before, and even had an early night. But the best thing I did to get ready for this day, was to meet some amazing girls who wanted to do this together. There were 5 of us doing this event. 5 from a larger group of amazing 12WBT SE QLD 30+ women we call The Striders who have a common goal: to support each other in events like this. Perfect! The 5 of us: Lyndall, Courtney, Ange, Tracey and myself, made an absolute pact that we would not leave each others sides through this tri. We would start together and finish together. No
Because I'm a weirdo of sorts, I decided to fit in the Pink 5km Fun Run in the morning, before the tri. It was great! It felt like a warm up - (another thing I never thought I would be saying about a 5km run!) I had slight breathing anxiety again but I pretended I was running with my friend Nic
|Us before the tri started. L-R: Tracey, me, Ange, Court & Lyndall
I had Nikko'd my arms, sunscreened my face, pink swimming capped my head, photographed with the girls, racked my bike, prepared my shoes in the transition area and done all of the prep work...and suddenly I was lining up for the swim leg. And that's when I had a little flashback. The stress and anxiety of T#1 and T#2 came rushing back to me. All of the girls were surrounding me
|I was scared!
The beautiful Lyndall stuck by my side throughout the whole thing and kept me going. It was such
|There's always time for a group shot mid-tri!
We transitioned and then it was onto the bikes. So a few posts ago I wrote about how I hate cycling...well I have now changed my tune. I only hate cycling when I am slow on my bike! I love cycling on Sarah's bike! My bike holds great sentimental value - but in all honesty it is a slow bike and as much as I would like to think otherwise, sentiment doesn't hold up in triathlons, I'm afraid. Cycling on a road bike was just the hugest difference. I was flying on Sarah's bike and I loved it. That is why I used to like cycling!
|My like of cycling was rekindled
Unfortunately though, poor Courtney had done a late night bike swap with me the night before - hers had an issue so she grabbed mine in the darkness of the night. And the tyres were flat. :( My fault and I felt so bad. They weren't punctured, I would have known that, but they were pretty flat! I remember saying "this is why I struggled at my last tri!" I just didn't realise how flat they were. We needed help to get them pumped up and aside from that, it is a really difficult bike to ride. But Court was a champion and just powered through. I know how hard that bike is to ride in a triathlon - it's best suited to other cycling - but she didn't complain, she just gritted her teeth and kept going. Tracey and Ange waited for us to return to transition and then we were all in the run together.
And we did it. As if there was ever any doubt.
|The most amazing feeling
You can't be last when your arms are linked with people by your side.
I tri'd once, twice, and on my third go I finally got it. :)
There comes a point when you realise what is important.
That's what it was all about. Thank you Striders.
|I learnt from last time to bring an extra safety pin so I wouldn't lose my timing strap!

|Ange and I
|My bike and stuff ready in transition
|All done!
|Happy face post tri this time!

Ex-Manson Family follower and stone-cold psychopathic demoness Susan Atkins died in a California prison hospital today, forty years after she helped kill actress Sharon Tate (eight months pregnant at the time) and seven other people in the notorious "Helter Skelter" murders. She had been battling brain cancer. Prison officials said her second husband was at her bedside, but Hair Balls was more interested in what her first husband, former Houstonian Donald Lee Laisure, had to say. Or maybe we should say "possible" former Houstonian.
Lai$ure: Well, just because I could do it....You asked me, and that's what I told you.
HB: Well, I'm just confused, because if the marriage was in California, why would the divorce be in Cuba?
Lai$Sure: Well, they had jurisdiction over it anyway.
HB: What was she like as a person? We know about her crimes, but...
Lai$ure: Well, she had a conversion to Christianity, I can tell you that. And that's about all I can tell you about it.
HB: And that was a genuine conversion?
Lai$Sure: I would say it was, but she was guilty as hell, anyway.
HB: Looking back on that time...is it with fondness, or do you think it was a mistake?
Lai$ure: I don't know. I didn't think it was a mistake at the time. You know, I'm also a retired general officer [of] the U.S. Marine Corps.
HB: I did not know that.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Lai$ure: Yeah, I don't want to go into that any further anyway.
HB: So you're retired now, or do you...
Lai$ure: That's right. I'm also an heir to an oil business.
We couldn't find any information on this alleged oil business, just
a few old fraud convictions. But there's really no reason to bring up
the past. The man's first wife just died, for goodness' sake.

The 2019 Audi Q6 can be classified under CUV and will be closely connected to the next generation Audi Q5. There will be many developments in this CUV, both in exteriors, interiors as well as in powertrain features. The crossover utility vehicle will have many elements which will take the car to a new dimension altogether.
2019 Audi Q6 – Elegant Design
Taking a first look at the 2019 Audi Q6 will make you fall in love with the CUV. It is aesthetically designed. The vehicle is based on Audi's second-generation modular longitudinal (MLB) architecture. This is the reason that the CUV will be able to accommodate the latest driver assistance systems and multiple powertrain options. There is extensive use of aluminum in the body of the vehicle and it also comes equipped with an air-suspension for comfortable riding. The CUV has 4 doors with a coupe-like roofline, which gives the vehicle an upscale status. The chrome grille with the Audi logo, the smart looking headlights, stylishly concealed fog lights and the wheels – all together make the vehicle look gorgeous.
The interiors of 2019 Q6 have many similarities to that of Q5 interiors. Special mention needs to be made of the next generation of Audi's screen based 'virtual cockpit' instrumentation panel. Audi Prologue, the concept car has such implementations done. OLED illumination technology is used for interior lighting of the cars. The instrument cluster on the dashboard contains all kinds of controls. Programmable features, drive system condition, climate control details etc are all displayed.
2019 Audi Q6 – Power Expectations
It is the powertrain of 2019 Q6, which is the most interesting thing in the new car. The completely electric version of the Audi Q6 2016 will have components from the upcoming R8-etron. It is estimated that this will be one of the quickest SUVs on the market with 500 hp output and 500 lbs-feet of torque. Along with the EV variation, the car is also expected to have a plug-in hybrid version and there will be a fuel-cell electric version as well. On the whole, the vehicle will have the best engine options available and hence great performance is guaranteed.
German car makers Audi ensure that they have the best of the things implemented in their vehicles – whatever is the type of the car. And the same stands for 2019 Audi Q6 as well. Hi-end, technologically advanced safety, and security features are installed in the vehicle for driver's and passenger's safety. Some important features include ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, video camera, laser scanner, airbags, seatbelts etc.
2019 Audi Q6 – Price, Rivals, and Release Date
The exact price of Audi Q6 2019 has not yet been decided. But as per speculations from the automobile industry, it is expected that the vehicle will be priced more than Audi Q5.
It is being estimated that 2019 Audi Q6 will be ready for release early-mid 2018 as an EV model. The plug-in hybrid model will be available sometime soon after this.
To sum up, 2019 Audi Q6 will face competition from the likes of Porsche Cayenne SE-Hybrid, BMW X5 40e, Telsa Model X, Mercedes-Benz GLE 500e and similar luxury cars. The next generation Q6 is expected to make a great impact on the roads and on the minds of the customers successfully.

Agents who endured reap real estate boom's rewards
Realtors having a year that's 'crazy good'
Click here to see the data on real estate agencies in the Houston area.
Real estate agents who stuck it out during the downturn are being rewarded in today's scorching hot housing market.
"The year is just crazy good," said Mark Woodroof, a partner with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene. "We're running ahead of our best year ever, 2007."
The Houston market has been improving for the last couple of years, but the supply of housing has become especially tight in recent months.
Shrinking inventory combined with growing demand has led to rising prices and bidding wars for homes in desirable neighborhoods.
"Unfortunately, with this kind of market, you have very disappointed buyers when you have eight people trying to buy one house," said Steve Barnes, president and chief operating officer of the Houston region of Coldwell Banker United, Realtors.
The real estate brokerage ranked No. 1 in both transactions sides and dollar volume in a list of leading residential realty firms for the Chronicle 100. Agents were given credit for each side of a transaction they represented, whether it was listing or selling a property. The dollar volume also reflected both sides of the sale, sometimes called the "double count method," according to Real Trends, a Colorado-based real estate consulting firm that compiled the data. This is the first year the Chronicle has included a residential realty list.
Coldwell Banker United's sales volume amounted to more than $2 billion last year on 7,644 sides where they represented either a buyer or seller.
Only five companies handled more than $1 billion in sales volume.
Firms such as John Daugherty, Realtors, Martha Turner Properties and Greenwood King ranked higher in sales volumes than they did transaction sides, as the homes they list and sell have higher average prices.
The high end of the market has been strong as the Houston-area job market has strengthened and employers create more high-paying jobs.
The energy and medical industries in particular have boosted the area real estate market.
Housing on the west side of town near the Energy Corridor and in Katy has seen big gains.
One of the top firms on the list was Re/Max The Woodlands and Spring. That area has been experiencing tremendous growth as Exxon Mobil Corp. and other large companies expand there.
Inventory around that area has diminished considerably. At the end of May, there were 414 properties for sale in The Woodlands, down 38 percent from a year earlier, according to Ken Brand, sales manager at The Woodlands office of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene. There were only 33 for sale priced at less than $200,000.
Realty managers say their firms are growing as more people enter the industry.

One of my favorite couples just welcomed a baby girl, and I had the privilege to once again photograph their growing family. I have photographed their engagement, wedding, newborn son, family fall session, and now little Miss Lexi! It is such a pleasure to be able to see their family grow, and I love catching up with them every year. AND it's so rewarding to see my images decorating their home – I love having clients that truly value family photos as art!
Big brother Liam is so gentle with her (well, most of the time!)

Former President Roh Moo-hyun
By Kim Rahn
Staff Reporter
The bereaved family of a former Daewoo Engineering and Construction (E&C) chief filed a suit against former President Roh Moo-hyun for defamation, which they claim triggered his suicide.
The wife, two children and a brother of former CEO Nam Sang-guk lodged the suit with the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Friday. The suit came three days after they demanded Roh make a public apology or face legal action. Roh has not apologized yet.
Nam, who was under investigation in 2004 for alleged money offering to Roh's elder brother, Roh Geon-pyong, to be reappointed as the CEO, killed himself hours after the former President ``publicly humiliated him'' in a nationally televised press conference.
At the conference, Roh said that he would not want to see ``a man like the Daewoo E&C chief who completed the elite course and had huge success give money to and begging a man (Geon-pyong) who is engaged in farming and has no influence.'' Hours after the broadcast of Roh's remarks, Nam leapt from a bridge into the Han River, killing himself.
``Nam neither sought the elder Roh's influence, nor gave him money. But the former President mentioned his name four times in the conference as if the allegations were true, damaging his honor severely,'' the bereaved family members said in the complaint. ``On the contrary, the senior Roh and his son-in-law first demanded money and other favors of Nam, saying they would help him be reappointed. Nam was forced to give 30 million won to the son-in-law, who then passed the money to the elder Roh.''
The complainants said that the prosecution had confirmed the money demand from the son-in-law on March 10 in 2004, a day before Roh's conference, but that the former President condemned Nam without confirming whether the allegations were true.
They claimed they suffered from mental pain again as the media recently mentioned Nam again along with the elder Roh's arrest for another bribery charge. ``We demanded the former President apologize because we wanted to stop the pain and restore Nam's honor. But Roh showed no reaction to our demand,'' they said in a statement.

Lucy is growing like crazy, Shane is working and working on the house like crazy, and me…..well, I'm just going crazy;) We have been busy busy since August started, and whew, it's time for a blogpost! I wanted to share a few things that have been going on, and then get back to my regularly scheduled posts. So let's get into it!
Total Babe Tee c/o Magic July Shop | Denim Levi's
I am officially in volleyball season, and last week between camps and practice, we were there six hours a night! Our new routine is that Shane comes home from work, eats dinner quick, I head to practice, and then he takes Lucy on over to my mom's house so he can work on the house all night. Literally all night. He was there until almost midnight last night, because he is a freakin' GO GETTER. So many people ask me when we plan on moving into the house, and I really wish I could tell you when….but I have no clue! None. Shane seems to think the time frame I have in my head is crazy, so I will just say hopefully sometime this winter;) I will be sharing a full unfinished house tour here soon, and I am so excited to film it so we can look back at the progress we've made.
In other news, Lucy is a officially a toddler and she is growing into a big girl right before our eyes. She is learning new words, understanding so much more, and becoming her own little person. She loves to say dog (gog), cat, hiiii a million times a day, and every time after she takes a drink she says "ahhh"…..it's the CUTEST thing. She loves to blow kisses, give hugs, and is o b s e s s e d with books. She's sleeping all night and still taking two 1.5 hour naps per day. We are the luckiest, and I have been soaking up every possible moment of her sweetness!
I think that's all I have to update on, but if you aren't already following me over on Instagram, do it right here! I am always active over there even when I don't have access to my computer. That's all, folks!
