Wales international footballers joined the Welsh coaches of the future at a Swansea Primary School today to take part in the ground-breaking 'Lidl Play More Football' programme launched by Lidl, The Football Association of Wales and the Welsh Football Trust.
Cardiff City defender Jazz Richards and Wales women's international Nadia Lawrence joined junior 'Directors of Football' from Olchfa High School who were passing on skills to children from Parkland Primary School.
Lidl Play More Football is a unique football coaching scheme delivered by young people, for young people. This peer-led approach will see 1,000 young people become 'Directors of Football' giving them the chance to become the next generation of Wales football coaches and get more kids active in Wales.
The scheme provides them with the skills to plan, organise and deliver inclusive, fun and easy-to-play football activities to engage their peers who do not currently play the game. Lidl Play More Football will enable 30,000 children to play football, the most popular sport in Wales, across the country over the next three years.
It has been rolled out successfully in secondary schools across Wales but is now expanding to primary schools where the upskilled secondary school participants will be helping to coach the younger children. A strong focus is also placed on encouraging more young girls to participate in the sport, which has gained popularity.
Lidl's investment in the programme helps provide the Directors of Football with the facilities, equipment and training to enable them to lead and run football activities. Supported by teacher mentors and The FAW coaches, the Directors of Football will be able to develop their leadership skills, grow in confidence and apply learnings to other areas of their lives.
And after taking part in the youth-led coaching session Richards was delighted with the high level of coaching and said he was confident that the future of Welsh football coaching looked bright.
Richards said: "I loved getting involved in the Lidl Play More Football coaching– the Directors of Football were brilliant and really engaged the primary school children.
"I wanted to come down because the Lidl Play More Football sounded like such a good idea. I don't remember us having anything like this when I was coming through as a young player.
"It was nice to see their faces when we arrived. Nadia and I saw a lot of potential today – there were definitely some good young players, you never know, maybe for the next generation of the Welsh team!"
Lawrence commented: "It's really good to see how many girls have got involved in this programme.
"I saw quite a few skills that were better than me, but that's really good!"
Lidl Play More Football will get more kids playing football whilst also developing the next generation of coaches and leaders. The peer-led weekly secondary school sessions will introduce 10,000 young people to football, whilst the weekly primary school activity sessions will engage a further 20,000 children to get active, learn new skills and enjoy the game.
Jamie Clewer, Head of Growth at The Welsh Football Trust added: "The young people we've worked with love taking part in the Lidl Play More Football programme. The initiative isn't just about playing football it's about leadership, communication and the young Directors of Football finding out what their peers want from sessions.
"It's been a great start to the scheme and we've been delighted with the reaction so far. Already we've got around 5,800 children playing football off the back of the scheme, and that number is only going to rise with the introduction of Lidl Play More Football to Primary schools across Wales."
Ryan McDonnell, Lidl UK Purchasing Director said: "This unique initiative allows Lidl to play a direct role in giving more boys and girls a chance to get playing and fall in love with football. We're absolutely delighted to support this approach which will allow young people in Wales to coach younger children and shape the future of the game.
"Through our stores across Wales and this partnership we want to build a real relationship with local communities and give something back."
As well as partnering with the FAW, Lidl is also providing a platform to communicate the benefits of football to more boys, girls and their families, creating lasting and positive change. Lidl is committed to supporting families in achieving a balanced lifestyle, helping children get active through football and offering fresh produce for nutritious meals to suit any budget.

Germanicus of Kleomenes
Modern plaster replica of a Roman original of ca. 50 BCE by the sculptor Kleomenes. The cast has an incised or stamped number (2379) in the upper left corner of the front of the base; this resembles the number stamped into the front of the Venus di Milo and may imply that this statue too was purchased from the Brucciani cast company of London. The original is in the Louvre, Paris.
The statue, erroneously identified as Germanicus, a member of the family of the Emperor Augustus, probably should be considered a portrait of a member of a wealthy family of the late Republic, here represented with a body copied from a well-known statue of the god Hermes (Mercury), the Orator, which stood in Athens. The tortoise below the drapery at the right alludes to Hermes' invention of the lyre for which the shell served as sounding board; the god appears to be holding a plectrum in his right hand to strike the strings of the lyre. The work is executed in the classicizing style popular in the 1st century BCE when sculptors like Kleomenes looked for inspiration to the masters of the 5th and 4th centuries in Greece.

How it Works?
Contact Us First
Talk to us FIRST! Invoke your right to an attorney and take advantage of a free initial consultation for criminal cases.
The best time to consult a criminal attorney is when you believe an investigation could occur. Many people make the mistake of speaking with the police, investigators or employees of other law enforcement agencies prior to consulting an attorney. Please, for your sake, DO NOT SPEAK WITH POLICE OR INVESTIGATORS until you have consulted with us. These people are trained with different techniques to try and get a "confession" or, at least, a statement with language in it that could be used as a confession. Do Not Help Them prosecute you. Invoke your right to an attorney and against self-incrimination.
Furthermore, do not make the mistake of thinking that this advice is only for people who are guilty. It is not. Innocent people get charged with crimes every day. Innocent people get convicted of crimes and are sent to prison every week. Many of those times, people's words have been twisted and used against them.
Honest Legal Advice
We provide honest legal counsel after carefully evaluating all pertinent facts and researching any legal issues.
Our criminal attorneys will give you honest advice. We will not sugar coat our opinions just to get you to hire us. We will tell you the truth. We know what is necessary to protect your rights and your freedom and honesty between client and attorney is an important part of that equation.
We understand that good people make mistakes and that people are often wrongly accused of crimes. We also understand that some people are guilty of that with which they are accused and just want the best deal they can get. If you hire us, we will give you an honest assessment of your case after carefully evaluating all pertinent facts and researching any legal issues.
Case Fight
We fight to achieve the most favorable results that protect your freedom and your good name.
We are on your side. Our criminal attorneys have been standing up for the rights of people charged with crimes in Montgomery County, Texas, and surrounding counties since 1998. We will fight to protect your freedom and your good name. We have experience in handling all types of criminal cases and our results have earned us a good reputation with our clients, prosecutors, courts, and other defense attorneys.
Our goal is to achieve the most favorable results for our clients. Sometimes this means a dismissal. Sometimes it means a trial. Oftentimes it means a plea agreement is reached with the prosecuting attorney. Plea agreements may be with or without a conviction and could consist of jail time, a fine only, or probation.

For many years, women's empowerment was an inseparable part of my work, an inherent part of who I am.
I began earning money, even just pocket money, at age 6, when after school, I picked up a baby from the daycare near the house and took her home. The years passed and my business thinking evolved, involving cleaning the building, babysitting for my neighbor's children and even selling my paintings in various festivals.
I started my first real business in New York at the age of 21, and I have since understood the power of independence, along with the difficulties and obstacles that are encountered along the way. I realized the hunger for success is often the most powerful impetus to drive my adrenaline, and I have since learned I have no other way of living my life bar waking up every morning like a hungry animal for the new day and devouring it as much as possible.
In parallel to the businesses and initiatives I founded and was involved in, in later years, I always liked to research entrepreneurial fields and get to know people in the field – but mostly, learn about strong women who did, who do, and who cope with the familiar difficulties, never giving up on themselves, even if they get countless "no's" along the way.
I met Darya about a year ago.
A staunch activist who moved to Palo Alto and founded WEACT, which makes Silicon Valley accessible to women entrepreneurs from Israel, facilitating meetings with key investors and key figures living in the United States. And so began my fascinating journey with 12 pioneering women entrepreneurs, each enthralling in their own field and in their own venture.
Women Entrepreneurs Visit The Land Of Endless Possibilities – The Journey
On the first day, the entrepreneurs gathered and introduced themselves and shared their ventures – their fields of activity and their funding stages. I discovered women who were tremendously powerful, each in her own way and in her own actions, and I immediately felt connected to all of them. This almost never happens with me.
The next day opened at the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), where the bank's managing director, Efrat Turgeman, presented us with an overview of the bank's activities.
The bank's uniqueness lies in its facilitation of loans to early-stage, which go unsupported by most banks.
Today, when a company goes to a bank seeking a loan, it must present at least two years of cash flow or other assets. Startups generally don't exist, nor are there tangible assets, just an idea they present in the hope of receiving funding. Therefore, the bank inherently aims to serve the technology community – from two guys with a presentation and an established idea, to a product owner or a slightly larger company.
At the same time, private investors and venture capitalists operating in the technology world can work with SVB in a variety of ways. This provides the bank a wide network of services which other banks don't have. The group also includes simple commercial banking with everything a company needs (credit card accounts and more).
Next, we heard a fascinating panel comprising three charming local entrepreneurs who had made it big. The charisma, insights and inspiration that were being projected were another adrenaline shot for the rest of us.
Tilli Kalisky spoke about the significant processes she'd undergone on the way to establishing her successful company at-bay, which deals in cyber insurance.
Assaf Wand shared how he became successful from creating something from scratch and today holds the insurance company "myhippo.com", which provides insurance in a few simple clicks via a dedicated app that serves to greatly simplify existing processes.
Eyal Lifshitz, founder and partner of Blue Vine, delivered some tips and amazed us with the success story of a child who, until the age of 21, never touched a computer, and is now a partner and founder of Fintech, which specializes in online small business loans in the US, and recently raised $130 million.
Several Tips For Meetings With Investors
According to the entrepreneurs, it is important to identify which funds deal with the entrepreneur's market. Investors invest based on two parameters: 1) Logic (product, team, competitors, timing, etc.) 2) Passion for the field. The more advanced the stage, the more logic plays a role because there's more proof – there's traction, you can already understand whether the venture is going well or not.
The next stage requires the entrepreneur to understand whether the investor wants to invest in their company or not. And what does "want" mean? – Do they want the entrepreneur as a business partner? Part of this stems from identification – do they identify with the entrepreneur?
An Israeli who comes to the US and meets with an investor – the investor doesn't see their younger self in the entrepreneur and doesn't identify with them. Therefore, connecting with them is harder. This issue is further emphasized for women entrepreneurs.
An important lesson that Eyal learned and shared was that some of the funds he first approached were funds that had previously invested in the field, and had been burned as a result. The investors most interested were those who'd had good experiences in the field, or no experience and were interested in the field and wanted to experiment with it. It's hard to change an investor's opinion who is not interested in the field and it's always better to meet with an investor who sounds interested.
Assaf added, that when starting an investment round, he recommends doing it back-to-back, meet with investors one after the other, in order create an environment of pressure vis-à-vis a decision, that they're not the only ones who want you.
Tilli noted that being confident is important. There is a very important psychological element in meeting an investor – if you're confident with an investor, he'll derive that you'll be confident in the market, in the work itself etc. In addition, she noted that at least one "yes", even one term sheet, makes it easier to negotiate in an investment round, and can make all the difference.
Another tip suggested by the entrepreneurs was to create a long list of potential investors, meet with as many as possible, and remember that even the largest companies in the world had to run their own marathon to bring investors; this is not something that happens easily or quickly. You can have 20 "no's" at the beginning, it's important not to give up on yourself and keep trying.
Ultimately, every investor sees hundreds of companies and we'll never know why they didn't want to invest in our venture. It's important not to take a 'no' personally.
And another important point that surfaced – it's better to "practice" on smaller investors at first. Don't go directly to the large investors, but learn from the mistakes and questions raised by smaller investors and apply them to the leading funds.
Building The Perfect Pitch For Investors
Donna Griffith, a fascinating Corporate Story-Teller, taught us the basics of creating the perfect, fast pitch. She began by saying there is no chance the venture's background and details can be put into a 5-minute presentation and therefore our goal in a short pitch is not closing a deal, but opening the door for further work and communication with the investor.
She highlighted the importance of giving the 'why' and not the 'how' – get them excited without bogging them down in too many details. Show the narrative structure as simply as possible: we do X for Y on Z basis.
She recommended emphasizing the venture's uniqueness and to engage the investor on an emotional level, to ensure they remember us.
It's also a good idea to pre-prepare a pitch and come ready for the questions that will surface. At the end of her lecture, she worked with every entrepreneur on their pitch and gave directions for improving it. The workshop was infinitely fascinating.
Our next destination was Draper University; Bill Draper was the first investor in Silicon Valley during the middle of the last century. His sons and grandchildren inherited his passion for the investment world and his son Tim, an early investor in Tesla for example, established the university to train young entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs presented their pitches to potential investors from a variety of important funds and also to the university students.
A Visit to Google, Founders Fund, Pinterest, and 500 Startups
During our visit to the Google Launchpad Startup Space, we heard a fascinating lecture by Dan Peled, who summarized the business and technological significance of the term "cloud computing" and also discussed advanced topics such as AI, artificial intelligence and what Google offers in its cloud services.
The lecture combined the profound meaning of these technologies beyond their technical sense and the possible impact on product design, sales strategy and customer experience.
The entrepreneurs then split up for personal meetings with a group of leading mentors with expertise in an array of fields such as product strategy, product design, advanced mobile technologies, sales and business development in the American market, and more.
Next, I joined a meeting with the product managers at the local Pinterest offices and two other entrepreneurs from the delegation (details about the fascinating meeting have been stored on the platform!). We then went back to the meeting with the founder of Founders Fund Kevin Hartz, where we listened to Hartz's inspiring story, a talented, serial entrepreneur who invests and sees about 950 startups a year, who want his investment or advice.
Kevin shared how he started out as a product manager in the company and thus learned the world, and understood how to work with product managers from different fields, realizing he simply had to jump in and establish a venture. But – he stayed in the game and was one of the first investors in Facebook. He collaborated with Peter Thiel from PayPal. He invested in AirBNB. He said that at one point he considered investing in YouTube, but ultimately, didn't. Kevin also founded EVENTBRITE with his wife, Julia, who now serves as its chairperson. The company deals with online events and ticket sales, and has raised $332 million to date, and has a valuation of $8 billion.
Kevin invests 80% of his funds in US-based ventures but in response to our question about possibilities in Israel – he explained that everything is possible, it all depends on the entrepreneurs and the value of the product or idea. Uniqueness is the name of the game says Kevin. Like other funds, they are seeking exceptional entrepreneurs, the teams that will stay alive and achieve, even if the product needs to be adjusted to the market unexpectedly. He said he is looking for unique thinking and achievement that is higher than what's possible at a very young age.
We arrived at 500 Startups in the evening, where the girls presented their projects to other potential investors. And again, it was an invaluable evening – lots of doors opened, many ties knotted and the entrepreneurs took another step toward their goals.
Visit To The Facebook Amusement City And The NVIDIA Offices
The Facebook offices in Palo Alto look like a theme park. Indeed, Frank Gehry who designed them was also involved in the design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. And this is evident at every corner – from the design of small shops and colorful streets that take you back to strolling in a small European town, the small streets that look like colorful alleyways, to the spacious and vibrant architecture within the buildings themselves. Not to mention the seating areas, bike facilities and surprises in the form of statues, signs and other things scattered throughout the small city, creating a sense of community and tremendous cooperation.
The company's offices look like one room with a very large space, which has about 2800 employees. Zuckerberg did this to allow all employees to work together and feel a sense of community, he says, according to his vision to connect the whole world. Workers can paint and stick stickers on the walls of the offices, and even scribble on a large board in one of the corridors. The center of the offices hosts a coffee zone with only the best, open to the employees of course, comfortable sofas scattered throughout the office, a laundry room, a huge dining room that offers all the best dishes and desserts during lunchtime and in general – Zuckerberg created a workplace that would be as pleasant and as comfortable as possible for employees during their work on various projects, and so they'd stay there as long as possible.
The charming Malvina Golfeld greeted us at the entrance. In charge of the development of Community Partnerships at Facebook, she took us on a tour and at the end told us about Facebook's growing world of communities. She was followed by Ryan Sean, VP of Business Partnerships, who talked about the virtual worlds that Facebook is increasingly emphasizing, gamification and its future plans for end users. When asked about virtual currencies, Ryan responded the platform is not currently entering the field, but is open to exploring the subject and that he is currently investigating it (did I already mention that I'd be happy to be a fly on the wall during these brainstorming sessions?).
After walking through the offices, we enjoyed lunch in the huge dining room, which offered a varied menu of food, and dessert in the Facebook Ice Creamery (because we must!) and continued on to our next destination.
As a company focused on creating video cards, platforms and robotic and gamification technologies, the huge Nvidia. offices and the massive white spaces and high ceiling, left us speechless.
After meeting in one of the building's many meeting rooms, we heard fascinating lectures on the various technologies that NVIDIA provides, its collaborations and even entered the dedicated rooms that demonstrated the infinite possibilities the company offers: such as the personification of an image to the smallest of details via a computer only, the future of robotics as a substitute for humanity , the creation of phantoms through computerization, the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture and medical imaging, and even the creation of aggregation situations and scenarios that appear to be entirely real but are produced by coding and computers. NVIDIA has established the INCEPTION platform, a type of virtual accelerator for AI projects. Today, it has 2,000 companies, 70 of them being Israeli. The company also has a number of impressive and successful Israeli acquisitions. One of the delegation member's logo also appeared in the company presentation.
Summary of our Journey
My journey alongside 12 inspirational entrepreneurs reinforced what I've always believed. A woman is an entire world in herself – complex, fascinating, sensitive, and our world needs more career-oriented and leading women in various fields.
The city of Palo Alto, or Silicon Valley, offers almost unlimited possibilities for hi-tech professionals and entrepreneurs, and my visit made me realize that this is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship; I'll be back. And I'm sure, among the other entrepreneurs, I won't be the only one.
Thanks goes out to Darya Henig Shaked who invited me to join the delegation and allowed to get to know, experience and learn so much in a single week.

Why Comedians Teach You a Powerful Blogging Lesson
Last night I saw a funny comedian perform in Atlantic City.
Chris Delia charmed the audience with his silly, somewhat absurd, level of humor.
He also explained how comedians need thick skin to become successful. Humor is a very personal, subjective topic. Some people find some comedians hysterical but never laugh at other comedians. As you imagine, bombing feels terrible to most comedians. At least until they develop a thick skin.
I once read how Kevin Hart often waited until 1 AM to work an open mic. Sometimes he waited until 1 AM and the place closed down so he never got the chance to do his set. Imagine how thick-skinned you need to be to not let that bother you? Is it any wonder why he is now worth $150 million? He became immune to criticism, failure and rejection. As a matter of fact, after developing a thick skin, he likely did not see criticism, failure or rejection.
All those evenings of 1 AM sets in front of 1-2 lifeless people or all those nights of being told to go home at 1 AM after waiting for hours to do his act purged the fear of criticism, failure and rejection from his being. Void of these fears, he rose up to being one of the most famous, wealthy and powerful comedians on earth.
Bloggers Need Thick Skin
I once promoted a course to the tune of 8000 page views before I sold one copy. Did I quit promoting the course? No. I developed a thick skin during the process. I did not see 8000 rejections. I only saw meeting and helping more human beings through my blog. Even during moments when I felt like giving up I trusted in myself and believed in the blogging process. Quitting and failure were no options for me. But in the same vein, I needed to be thick skinned to see through criticism, rejection and failure.
I needed to be aware of opportunity amid the appearance of nobody reading my blog. Toss in being patient and persistent in helping folks during my most trying times and you have a pretty thick-skinned individual.
Do Not Care What People Think
Chris Delia shared how he could care less what people thought about him. He dressed down a few hecklers during the show.
Comedians succeed because they care less about what people think of their acts; being heckled, ignored or criticized had nothing to do with their belief in self and their belief in their comedic style.
As a blogger, give no thought to what people think of you. Guess what? You cannot control your reputation. No matter how long and hard you work in life to maintain a positive reputation, you can never physically control what people think of you. I am largely a nice guy 99.99% of the time yet some people genuinely hate me. I cannot control their demons. Plus I know we see the world as we see ourselves so if someone hates themselves I cannot do anything about that self-loathing.
Focus on yourself. Focus on what you think about yourself because this is the only thing that matters. Being comfortable in your own skin aligns you with loving, loyal followers who appreciate you for who you are. Let go everybody else. Critics form an energetic yoke if you care about their thoughts but dissolve into thin air when you could care less about what they think of you.
Bloggers become successful because these few folks who have thick skins shine brightly in a world of thin-skinned bloggers who fear criticism, judgment and rejection. The few who step it up do wonders because we all want a piece of free spirits who march to the beat of their own drum without caring what people think, say or do, in response or reaction to them simply being themselves.
Advanced Blogging Tip: Have a Poor Link Memory
I create oodles of content daily. One tip to being prolific is to have a poor link memory. I forget what I published content-wise and link-wise to keep publishing content frequently. Do you know how most bloggers publish one blog post, include a link to a product and/or service, and keep checking the post again and again, to see how the link performs as far as clicks and conversions and sales and profits and money? I never do that. I have no time and energy to check how my links perform because I have a terrible link memory. I am always on to the next piece of content to create and the next link to place and the next person to help because I have a poor link memory. I forget links. This works perfectly for me; makes me super duper prolific.
Most bloggers attach to and cling to particular business links. What happens if you attach to a link? You give attention and energy to checking the link again and again instead of creating more content from a generous, prolific energy. How can you appear to be all over your niche if you check links regularly throughout the day and if you are not creating helpful, new pieces of content? You cannot be super successful if you are not prolific and you cannot be super prolific unless you have a poor link memory. Be generous, abundant and detached by forgetting links you place in posts; especially links pointing to business opportunities.
I link to my blogging course quite a bit but never get attached to any one link or blog post or guest post through which I link to it. Why? I have more fish to fry. I have more content to create and more bloggers to bond with and more folks to help and more bloggers to connect with and heck, after converting 50 more of my eBooks to paperback, I will have over 200 products about on Amazon, under the Blogging From Paradise umbrella. That is a lot of products to promote! We need to have a poor link memory to forget the prior link we promoted so we can move forward and promote more links, more content and greater blogging success. Envision yourself having an abundant mindset. What happens if you do not feel like anything seems short, scarce or running out? Being prolific is what happens. Being generous is easier if you are not burdened by any link to promote, to review and to assess regularly. I am not opposed to scanning metrics if doing so feels good and relaxing but most bloggers never take the time to assess their genuine feelings when it comes to how they feel promoting links.
I do. I am ruthless in assessing, observing, embracing and moving along my energies because watching your energy is the key to blogging success. Blogging from abundance, relaxation and trust leads to success while blogging from fear, scarcity, tension and anxiety leads to failure.
Which road do you prefer to take?
How to Get Over the Fear Nobody Will Buy Your Product
Ship. Publish.
Promote the heck out of the product. Unearth fears. Feel fears. See fears come true. Release fears. Sell your product. More and more folks buy your product only if you face, feel and release fears aligned with the product. If you hold the fears ya ain't selling the product. Even if you publish a blogging product – like my blogging course – and sell it for a little bit you will not generate big sales until you fail enough to finally feel fears triggered by failure. Feeling fears clears fears which clears resistance which helps you inspire more people to buy the product.
Getting over this fear is messy. Do you enjoy feeling like a complete loser? Nope. Do you enjoy feeling like a complete fraud, or huckster, or embarrassed or ashamed? Nope. You hate trying so hard and then, no freaking people buy the course you promoted 10,000 times but doing so and feeling fears triggered simply makes it easy to promote the product, because feeling and getting over the fear makes you promote the product like you breathe. Being in that space, plenty of people see the product and more folks buy the product.
I promoted my blogging course to the tune of 8,000 page views before someone bought it. 8000 page views was nothing. I had to clear fear-resistance during the 8,000 page views to show the world how fun, freeing and inspired this course was. Fear cleared, more people bought it at 10 times the initial price versus the initial cheapy price. Raising the price ten fold? Yep; another fear for me to conquer. But I did it, and far more people bought it at $350 than at $36. See how funny fear works? You fear something, refuse to feel the fear, and struggle. But feeling the fear and doing it anyway leads to increasing success. Buy the course for a fun, entertaining, inspired blogging guide. Tis the season for celebration and joy and love and fun, helpful blogging courses.
I have no tips for nudging into fear save meditating and doing yoga frequently. Following each habit expands your awareness which helps you become intimately aware of your fears, so you can feel fears and release fears. Feels rough but this is part of the blogging journey if you want to get over the fear of selling your stuff. Hey; do you want to hurt people, mislead people or lie to people with your blogging product? No? Then just sell the thing already. Ship it. Publish it. Fear is so insidious. Fear makes you do what you do not want to do, if you trust fear. Fear causes you to tune into an alternate, illusory universe, where nothing is true and everything is lies, smoke and mirrors. Do you really want to take that road? I did not think so.
All I can do is be a cheerleader. You need to be the athlete on the court, not the fan on the sidelines. Get on the court. Publish your product. Promote your product. You will eventually face, feel and release all the fears you need to release to become a successful blogger and to sell your product successfully, too. Get in the game. People will buy your product when you get clear on it.
Pro Blogging Tip: Release Expectations
Am I asking you to be a Blogging Buddha? Nope. Not really. No one save enlightened beings completely releases expectations but us mere mortals clinging some to a worldly life can largely release expectations, to become successful and to enjoy the blogging journey. 10 minutes ago, I checked my email. I received a few. I clearly make it difficult to get in touch with me through email because I want to give most attention and energy to building a passive income empire. Every second I spend in email, I could be spending creating content and building connections. Knowing this, it feels good to receive few emails because it helps me scale and move forward from an abundant energy.
Unfortunately, most bloggers have heavy expectations when it comes to receiving email. Bloggers expect a chock filled inbox, with all types of clients, Paypal payments and sponsored post deals. What happens if you get 3 emails daily, all responses to comments? Your expectations not being met levels you, depressing you, making you sad, sapping your energy. If you expect some sweet outcome and reality is not delivering you the outcome to fulfill the expectation, you eventually lose your blogging motivation and quit. Or you make the massive mistake of quitting after seeing your expectations fall short, then, you begin blogging again, quit again after expectations are unfulfilled, and you suffer through this vicious cycle until you fail and quit for good.
Release expectations. Begin blogging with an intent to live your dreams but let go the anchor of expectation because either you feel hopeless after not getting what you expected or you feel average when expectations line up or you feel super high and excited after exceeding expectations, leading to an imminent crash after your emotions settle down. Expectations are anchors, pulling you down, holding you back, preventing meteoric blogging growth. I expect little to nothing blogging-wise because my day is about having fun helping people to blog successfully. I cannot go wrong whether I sell a copy of my blogging course or not because I have no expectations; I just promote the course in a seeming billion places (coming soon) and leave things at that.
If anything, allow a little part of yourself to desire some expectation but make it tiny. Why? If the expectation does not come true quickly, you will keep blogging from an energetic, relaxed, abundant vibe, positioning yourself to succeed. Harboring wee expectations means you remain unstirred if the expectations do not manifest; no crushed, hopeless feeling. Meanwhile, most bloggers with grand, wild expectations often slam into tons of resistance because no spectacular dream comes through and manifest overnight. Living your dream life through blogging requires years and thousands upon thousands of hours of generous service.
Blog for an absolute love of blogging. Be passionate about the blogging process. Release largely on outcomes because weighing yourself down with expectations slows you down. Imagine desiring big blogging bucks only to see an empty inbox for the next 3 months? 90 plus days, zero dollars. After the 90th day, most bloggers quit blogging for good, because they came up so short on their expectations, being frustrated, disgusted, and tired of wasting their time.
Fall in love with the process – not outcomes – to fuel yourself for your blogging journey.

In men, the risk of heart disease increases after age 45. In women, the risk increases after age 55. In people who have diabetes, the risk of heart disease increases after age 40. * US department of Health and Human Services
You don't have to have diabetes to put your heart at risk. the more refined sugar we eat over the age of 40 the more likely we are to develop heart disease, high blood pressure and a greater risk of stroke.
Even though the flavour for a healthy Stomach/Spleen in Traditional Chinese Medicine is sweet, too much of a good thing can weaken these organs. It is the spleen (pancreas) that is responsible for insulin production which enables the absorbtion glucose (sugars) into the cells of the body.
Too much sugar means either the spleen cannot produce enough insulin or insulin that works (diabetes type 1) or the body becomes insulin resistant (diabetes type 2) Glucose that is unprocessed by insulin remains in the blood stream damaging arteries causing high blood pressure and heart disease.
High glucose levels also inhibit the digestion of fats and triclyceride levels within the blood rise. Tryglycerides don't dissolve in the blood they move around the arteries where they can cause hardening, increasing the risk factor for stroke and heart disease.
So what can you do?
Refined carbohydrates such as white bread and pasta give quick sugar hits but are missing the fiber and minerals of whole-grains. In Chinese Medicine to keep the Stomach/Spleen and Sugar levels healthy we would use wholegrains such as brown rice, millet and quinoa and starchy vegetables such as carrots, butternut squash, sweet potato, parsnips. Perhaps you think these foods are boring, that they won't meet the needs of your sweet tooth? but healthy food doesn't mean boring food – with my recipes it means the opposite – it means delicious, sexy scrumptiousness – if you consciously love your food, you love yourself. One tip from Chinese Medicine is to CHEW CHEW CHEW your food. This is where the sugars are released into the mouth, broken down by the teeth and saliva, sending signals to the brain that this is sweet, tasty food.
If you want more ways to lower your sugars, your risk of diabetes and your blood pressure, come and visit my online kitchen table and watch me prepare delicious dishes full of healthy ingredients that help to tone and heal the Spleen, balancing blood sugars and stopping the addictive cravings that refined sugars bring. The 6 week supported online programme to Stop Sweet Cravings is full of videos demonstrating how to make dishes that are sweet , satisfying and healthy. They can reduce blood pressure, the risk of stroke and heart disease.
Because of the supportive 1-1 nature of the course it is only open to 20 participants maximum. Be in the first 10 to sign up and receive a 15% discount by entering the code MONEYOFF4U. Enrollment is open now and will close on the 30th October which is when the first live online lesson will begin. For full details go to Information page
By finding healthy alternatives, to refined sweet foods such as pasta, bread and chocolate, that taste REALLY GOOD we are more likely to make a change to a nourishing, wholesome, healthy life. This is especially important as we progress through life and our bodies repair and regeneration takes a little longer.

How does the DB connection work with Appeon?
Posted by Carmina Garcia on 29 April 2011 12:50 PM
How does the DB connection work with Appeon?
The DB connection is through a connection pool from the application server connecting to the DB. The transaction object is mapped to a connection pool.
The driver used depends on whether the customer has installed the .NET or Java version of Appeon. In Java it is JDBC, and in .NET it is native.

Hazing. The word conjures images of frat boys pranking freshman pledges all in good fun.
Of course, we know that all too often there is nothing fun or innocent about fraternity hazing on college campuses. Fraternity hazing often involves excessive drinking and illicit drug use, violent physical abuse, and sexual assault. The James Vivenzio whistle blower case against Penn State shows the importance of shining a light on the dark and secretive — and incredibly dangerous — world of fraternity hazing.
Fraternity hazing may be the best known example of this type of organized bullying, but the reality is that hazing takes place far more frequently than we might realize and in many, varied settings.
In recent months, there have been news stories about tragic deaths during violent hazing involving a college swim team and a college marching band. The Tom Hanks-Jack Nicholson movie, "A Few Good Men," dramatically revealed violent hazing in among members of the United States Marines.
Now comes a fascinating but disturbing expose in Marie Claire magazine about rampant hazing that takes place among . . . .wait for it . . . Emergency Department nurses. [link to the article] According to the April 2016 article, hazing and bullying among nurses is rampant and sometimes even affects the safety of patients. Sometimes, the hazing even results in death.
Author Alexandra Robbins relies on her own interviews of hundreds of nurses as well as numerous studies and government statistics to support her compelling portrayal of nurse hazing. The American Nurses Association (ANA), one of the leading professional organizations for nurses, refers to nurse hazing and bullying as "a type of initiation to determine if the new nurse is tough enough to survive."
Nurses, perhaps especially ER nurses, are indeed in some very tough and trying circumstances at work, caring for patients in life threatening situations, triaging multiple patients during a mass trauma, and serving on the front line with patients and families facing life and death. But hazing exacts a heavy price.
Robbins cites federal government data that shows one in three nurses quits her job because of bullying and hazing and that this, perhaps more than any factor, accounts for a worldwide nursing shortage. Since one form of nurse hazing involves failing to communicate important information from nurse to nurse during the ongoing care of a patient, hazing can also put patient well-being at grave risk.
A 2014 report from the Joint Commission, the leading accreditation organization for hospitals, found that the majority of cases involving an unexpected patient death or permanent disability was caused by a communication failure. Could nurse hazing be directly responsible for these tragic outcomes?
Hazing can be a deadly and dangerous business. The group bonds that can form and grow stronger through hazing rituals are simply not worth the risk of serious and even life-threatening danger to those involved. Whether hazing takes place in the basement of a fraternity house or in an athletic facility locker room or even in a hospital emergency department, there needs to be more public attention on this widespread social problem.

Blaydon looked to be heading for a sixth successive defeat going into the final quarter of the National League Three North game but, inspired by their No 8 Tom McClaren, they pulled off a remarkable last-minute victory.
They had been in arrears for most of the game, Matthew Hocken and Guy Hope scoring first-half tries for Hull, and were 14 points adrift when McClaren stormed over from a tap penalty.
Three minutes later flank forward Richard Bagier touched down under the posts.
Sean Hannath converted both efforts to level the scores.
Hull hit back immediately through their flyhalf Kirk Vixon, Nick Cooper converting.
But McClaren once again stormed upfield and replacement winger Nathan Ridd got the touchdown in the corner with Hannath again on target exactly on 18 minutes.
Hull were still not finished however and Cooper edged them in front with a penalty.
But with time quickly running out, Michael Dungait put out the clever match-winning pass to flyhalf Nick Gandhi.

text: BUSINESS ESPN STAR wins cricket match 4:00 AM PST 12/12/2006 by Nyay Bhushan , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty NEW DELHI -- Leading sports broadcaster ESPN STAR Sports, a joint venture between the Walt Disney Co. and News Corp., has won global broadcast rights to International Cricket Council matches for the next eight years, from 2007-15."The decision was a unanimous one, taken by the ICC board in Dubai on Saturday, and the ICC will now seek to reach final agreement with ESPN STAR Sports," the ICC said in a statement Saturday. The audio-visual rights for 18 ICC matches, two World Cups (2011 and 2015) and at least three Champions Trophy tournaments were sold for an undisclosed sum "significantly in excess" of the ICC's previous commercial deal, ICC said.However, media reports Monday said that ESPN STAR bid highest for the rights, between $1 billion and $1.1 billion. When contacted, a spokesperson at New Delhi-based ESPN STAR Sports India would not comment on the figure."This acquisition affirms our commitment to the Indian subcontinent and the world and we are absolutely delighted to bring the exciting lineup of ICC events to millions of cricket fans globally," ESS managing director Jamie Davis said in a statement. The ICC's previous agreement with the Global Cricket Corp. (a News Corp. subsidiary) was worth $550 million for 2000-07.Reports also indicate that ESS outbid Mumbai-based rival Nimbus Communications, which offered $900 million, as well as leading Indian broadcaster Zee Telefilms;and Sharjah-based sports broadcaster Ten Sports, which bid $850 million and $825 million, respectively. ESS' win has fueled speculation as to the viability of its bid but industry estimates reckon that the network can pull in advertising revenues of at least $200 million-$300 million annually from its cricket properties just by selling advertising space at current prices, which are expected to grow 10%-15% every year.

With their extensive and flexible Menu Choices there is bound to be something to suit your occasion.
We were guests at The Frames apartments in Paringa, who have the most wonderful service of bringing a chef from Salt & Pepper Catering in to your apartment for the night to cook a three-course meal in the comfort of your own home. We were lucky enough to have Peter come and cook for us, and not only was the food OUTSTANDING but he was such lovely company. We enjoyed chatting with him as he cooked but he also said if we just wanted to sit and do our own thing he would just cook away. We loved hearing his stories and sharing ours. The food was beyond beautiful- the presentation was better than anything we've experienced, and the preparation that went into our meal was astonishing, some components were two days in the making and the preparation was astronomical. No detail was omitted, and having dined at Heston Blumenthal's restaurant just days beforehand, we both were adamant that each and every one of Peter's dishes were better than anything we'd had there. Also, they clean up every dish once you've finished your meal so you don't have to do a thing, and Peter also organised to bring us a BBQ pack for our next night at the apartment, which was arranged just as beautifully as the food he cooked for us. Thank you Peter for your brilliant, brilliant service, we had such a lovely night with you and can;t wait to come back and do it again.Alex and Carly

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) shares are not acting like those of a growth stock. They are off 16% this year, compared to a 6% increase in the Nasdaq. Competition and a miscalculation in pricing are primarily to blame.
In May, Netflix raised it monthly rate for some subscribers from $7.99 to $9.99. The company lost subscribers, which affected its overall growth. The damage, however, may have been more than Netflix management expected.
Netflix added only 1.68 subscribers in its most recently reported quarter. Only 160,000 were in the United States. While Netflix has 83.2 million customers worldwide, it also has huge investments in original programming. If Netflix growth flatlines, theses costs become a greater burden, margins erode and Netflix starts to look like other broken growth businesses.
A more sinister cause of the stock price problem is less well-defined than a single quarter of poor subscriber growth. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) are competitors, and ones with almost unlimited financial resources. Hulu is trying to sneak up on the industry too. Huge media companies have started to move into an industry in which they relied on others to distribute there content. One of the best examples of this is the Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX) HBO streaming product. Big media wants to keep all the revenue, instead of sharing it with other parties.
Netflix shares have run sideways for a month, trading around $95. They will break lower if the next quarter does not prove the company has discovered a new way to add subscribers.

Are we willing to walk the walk, or are we satisfied just talking the talk?
I'm currently in a situation (an email war of sorts) where my "flesh man" wants to take over. I have to constantly (and I do mean CONSTANTLY) choose whether or not I will allow the "flesh man" to choose my words for me, or if I will let my "Spirit man" speak.
I find myself writing sentences that make my flesh feel good (REAL GOOD! In a "Take THAT!" Sort of way.). But they make my spirit hurt. As a result, the backspace button gets it's workout! Delete, delete, delete!
It's not always easy to submit to the "Spirit man". But, when we do, we find peace. A fleshly response/action may feel good on a pride level, but a spiritual response will feel good on a much deeper level, if we allow it.
Where the enemy (flesh) brings temporary satisfaction, The Lord (Spirit) brings lasting fulfillment.
Lets put on our Spirit shoes today, and leave the Flesh shoes to rot.
Today's devo selection:
Empty Shoes
By: Patricia Day
In church yesterday, a little boy fidgeted in his seat. He wanted to move to another place rather than sit quietly in his seat. As minutes ticked by he gave up his efforts and resolved instead to remove his shoes. I suppose he thought if he couldn't walk then why keep them on?
So off the shoes came and he curled up in his chair eyeing all who were around him instead. The shoes sat empty on the floor – he had no use for them if he couldn't get down and move around. He chose to give up – which in this instance was probably a good thing; he could have been distracting as he did things his way.
Jesus longs for us to follow Him in all His ways. He asks us to walk in His shoes! He wants us to walk His way because it will lead us to a better place and yet, so many of us choose not to. We want to walk on our own chosen path in life, whether it is comfortable or not! We won't persevere in doing things His way because we feel it would be too hard for us. We prefer to remain in our unfulfilling lives, in other words we give up!
The shoes that Jesus gives us are always a good fit, the trouble is we won't know it unless we try them on and walk in them. Just as the little lad discarded his shoes because he no longer felt a need for them, we do the same to Jesus as we decide to go it alone and do things our way.
Proverbs 10:9 He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known. (NKJV)
Prayer: Abba, we don't want to remain empty and unused. We want our lives to be meaningful and worthwhile. We choose to follow You and we choose Jesus to lead us to the path designated for us alone. In His mighty Name, Amen!

Call for papers: MODERN CATHOLIC SPACE
Symposium dates: 9 and/or 10 December 2011
Venue: Mount Street Jesuit Centre, London
Modern architecture for the Roman Catholic Church in the twentieth century could be experimental, transgressive or progressive, comforting or shocking; sometimes it appeared within a culture of intense theoretical and theological dialogue between architects and clergy, and sometimes it challenged orthodoxy and innovated at the fringes of the Church's complex structure. At various significant moments, modern architecture was either repressed and quenched, or welcomed and widely adopted. Architects could be concerned with the symbolic potential of modern architecture to evoke newly emphasised ideas in theology. In church architecture throughout the twentieth century, the liturgy was a central focus of development, as space and ritual were intimately connected. Monastic life was subject to modern interpretations of ancient ideals. Mission stations far from Rome might echo modern architecture's development of a 'critical regionalism'. Conventionally, the Second Vatican Council has been seen as a pivotal moment in the shift towards a modern form of church space, but increasingly scholarship is revealing the Council to have been only one marker of broader trends. More recently, architects have sought continuity and reattachment to the past instead of innovation.
This symposium seeks to present new research on specific manifestations of these larger historical currents. Paper proposals might address the following themes:
- Church architecture and liturgy, at any point in the twentieth century;
- The effects of patronage on architectural production;
- Catholic theology, soteriology and eschatology and architecture;
- Approaches to the past in twentieth-century Catholic architecture;
- New materials and building techniques and their effects on Catholic space;
- New spatial forms of pilgrimage, monasticism, or popular devotion;
- Symbolism and modern art in Catholic architecture;
- Politics, identity, nationality and ethnicity in Church buildings;
- Architecture and ecumenical engagement.
Keynote speaker: Prof. Richard Keickhefer, Northwestern University (tbc)
Proposals for papers of around 15-20 minutes, should be a maximum of 300 words, accompanied by a one or two page CV (to include full contact details and a list of any relevant publications or projects).
Deadline for receipt of proposals: 21 April 2011
Deadline for decision and advice on proposals: 10 June 2011
Symposium dates: 9 and/or 10 December 2011
Venue: Mount Street Jesuit Centre, London
Please send proposal and CV as a single MS Word or PDF file by email only to : email@example.com.

Why do you watch horror movies?
Is it to be entertained? Or is it to morbidly obsess over the gruesome acts depicted in the films you watch? Whatever the case...we here at Film Deviant won't judge you. However, director Tom Six takes a stab at this interesting premise with his new meta-sequel to his original, The Human Centipede (First Sequence).
The film follows a strange looking man who lives with his mother, who openly hates him, as he does his best to create a "Human Centipede" of his own. Because he is sexually obsessed with the first film. And because he's a sicko.
Here's a trailer that shows some footage from the new film, which incidentally is fully shot in black and white...
The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) opens here in the states on October 7th in limited release. It is currently banned in the UK...where it was filmed.
Thanks for reading.

Port Washington home buyers' information
Popular for its waterfront, school district and direct train line into Manhattan, Port Washington is a cherished enclave, says resident Phyllis Realmuto, an associate broker at Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty.
Residents have access to just about everything, say real estate agents, who point to community features like waterside restaurants, marinas, eclectic shops, services, parks, a library and a theater.
It's a close-knit community with a high priority on children, says resident Debbie O'Brien of Harding Real Estate, noting that Landmark on Main Street is home to the Port Washington Children's Center, the Port Washington Youth Council's Teen Center and the Parent Resource Center.
The Landmark is also home to the 425-seat Jeanne Rimsky Theater, where shows and concerts are staged. "There's something to do every weekend," Realmuto says.
Set on a peninsula with Manhasset Bay to the west and Hempstead Harbor to the east, Port Washington comprises four villages — Sands Point, Port Washington North, Manorhaven and Baxter Estates — plus a portion of Flower Hill.
Buyers can find a variety of architectural styles and price ranges — from less than $400,000 to more than $10 million, agents say. "We have a big rental population here," Realmuto says, noting the train line is a big draw. "Manorhaven is a renter's haven," adds O'Brien, noting there are many two-family homes here.

Hey GC faithful, it's Jeff Phillips CEO of Accountingfly and publishing overlord of Going Concern. One of the things we're trying to figure out is what future CPA careers will look like. That means talking to lots of different people that work in the business.
Recently we met Brad and Josh, two former PwC employees who started a firm called Beech Valley Solutions and we think they're onto something.
Since they left the firm as Senior Associates, they've been freelancing on interesting projects like helping a company go public in California, implementing the new revenue recognition standard, and building a financial reporting database for a biotech company in Miami. They realized there was a big future for them and other Big 4 alumni who wanted flexible careers, to get paid more per hour and to work on diverse projects to build their résumés.
They started recruiting consultants and have been signing new and interesting projects for their team. We were blown away by the response from CPAs looking for a change of pace.
Connect with Beech Valley to learn about CPA on Demand opportunities.
Accountingfly is now partnering with Beech Valley Solutions to provide a freelance accounting platform designed for public accounting professionals to launch their careers as independent consultants. Brad and Josh have built the resource they wish had existed back when they left public accounting; one that allowed them to use the skills they developed to consult cutting edge companies.
In partnering with Beech Valley, Accoutingfly is now able to serve a new subset of accounting professionals: those ready to take full control of their careers as independent consultants.
You're going to hear from Brad and Josh with posts that will focus on the independent consulting career route. I hope you enjoy them and we welcome your questions and feedback.
And yes, they are actively recruiting CPAs to staff open projects. I hope you'll connect with them to learn about their current engagements. If you want to learn more about Beech Valley, check out their website or contact them directly to speak with them about open projects that need CPAs now.

Super Cool Applications and Development of Superconductivity
High conductivity or zero resistance or superconductivity would ideally allow infinite current to pass through it. But at what cost? The hot topic of the 90's declined sharply after researchers from all over the world failed to find common use applications of this property of a few alloys. The story of superconductivity from its discovery to its current applications is discussed.
Vishwas Purohit
Last Updated: Jul 22, 2017
'Superconductivity' is the state in which a material has literally no resistance to electric current. The phenomenon was discovered early in the 20th century, but for most of the following decades it remained little more than a curiosity. The materials that exhibited superconductive behavior only did so if they were cooled to within a few degrees of absolute zero, which limited their use to highly specialized applications. Superconductivity can perhaps lay claim to being the first child of low temperature physics, even though an adequate explanation of its physical origins had to wait for almost another half-century.
Superconductivity was discovered in 1911 by Dutch physicist Heike Kammerlingh Onnes. He discovered that when mercury was cooled by liquid helium to 4 degrees Kelvin, it lost all resistance to electric current. Onnes would later win the Nobel Prize for this work. Later research showed that many metals, such as tin, lead, and niobium, were also superconductive when cooled to extremely low temperatures. It is certainly a curious twist of fate that a phenomenon, which is such a striking manifestation of quantum mechanical behavior on the macroscopic scale, should have been discovered before the development of quantum theory.
Given the difficulties of working at such 'cryogenic' temperatures, superconductivity remained interesting but of little practical use, though materials were found that became superconductive at slightly higher temperatures. Theoreticians were fascinated by the phenomenon because nobody had any clear idea of why it occurred.
The theoretical principles of superconductivity were finally outlined in 1957, when John Bardeen, Leon N. Cooper, and J. Robert Schrieffer published a theory that would also win a Nobel Prize. The 'Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS)' theory suggested that cryogenic cooling of materials such as niobium suppressed the random thermal noise in their crystal structure. This allowed quantized mechanical vibrations ('phonons') to set up a weak electrical interaction that coupled electrons with opposite spin and momentum together in 'Cooper pairs', which had zero net spin and momentum.
Electrical resistance is caused by the scattering of electrons due to defects, impurities, and thermal vibrations in the crystal lattice of a conductor. However, the binding of electrons in Cooper pairs eliminates scattering, and so electrical resistance disappears. Above a specific 'Curie temperature (Tc)', thermal vibrations disrupt the Cooper pairs, and the material becomes resistive again. Intense magnetic fields and high currents can also disrupt the pairs and destroy superconductivity.
Despite the development of BCS theory, doing anything useful with superconductors remained an uphill struggle. What seemed to be a breakthrough finally occurred in the 1980s.
Interest in superconductivity skyrocketed in the late 1980s when materials were discovered that remained superconductive at relatively high temperatures, but after the initial excitement wore off, development of practical applications proved painfully slow. However, by the end of the century, work towards applications of superconductive materials in power electric systems, sensors, and digital electronics finally seemed to be on track.
In September 1986, Alexander Mueller and Georg Bednorz, two scientists at an IBM research center in Zurich, Switzerland, published a paper describing a copper-oxide compound that exhibited superconductivity at 35 degrees Kelvin, 12 degrees above the Curie temperature of any superconducting material known to that time. They published their paper in an obscure German physics journal in hopes that it wouldn't be noticed. This tactic allowed them to reinforce their preliminary research without interference, but still be able to prove the priority of their work if other reports were published.
After more studies, the two scientists became convinced that their findings were correct. Once their discovery became widely known, a flood of new 'high temperature superconductor (HTS)' materials were discovered. By December 1986, a material had been discovered with a Tc of 38 K. A year later, in early 1987, a team under physicist C.W. 'Paul' Chu discovered a compound, 'yttrium barium copper oxide' ('YBCO', pronounced "ibco"), that had a Tc of 93 K.
This moved the Curie temperatures of superconducting materials from the range of liquid helium temperatures to those of liquid nitrogen temperatures. The reduction in cooling requirements promised to greatly reduce the cost of superconducting technology and widen its range of applications.
The enthusiasm of researchers in the field was manifested that year by a special meeting of the American Physical Society in the Hilton Hotel in New York City, crammed with 3,000 physicists, many of whom stayed up all night discussing the new superconductors. The event became known as the 'Woodstock of Physics'.
Since 1986, over 100 HTS materials have been discovered. The record Tc now stands at 138 degrees Kelvin. This progress has been made even though nobody is exactly sure how high-temperature superconductivity works.
While there is clearly some electron pairing mechanism involved, as is the case with the old 'low-temperature superconductors (LTS)', the phonon-linkage mechanism associated with Cooper pairs in low-temperature superconductors can't work at high temperatures, since thermal vibrations would quickly break the phonon linkages. The most popular theory is that the pair coupling occurs due to subtle magnetic effects created by the HTS lattice, but nobody has been able explain how it happens. Understanding what causes the phenomenon will help researchers to address some of the problems they have encountered working with HTS.
For example, magnetic vortexes set up by the flow of electric current through an HTS have a tendency to drift through the material, and this drift dissipates energy, or in other words, causes resistance. The material needs to have strong 'flux pinning' to ensure the vortexes do not migrate.
More importantly, a better theoretical understanding may lead to raising the Curie temperature still further. Researchers believe this is perfectly possible, since a copper-oxide compound made with mercury has been shown to superconduct at 164 K when squeezed to extremely high pressure in a diamond anvil. As a result, one avenue of research has been to try to modify superconductive materials into configurations resembling those that they adopt under high pressure.
After the great expectations raised by the discovery of HTS materials, researchers found their enthusiasm gradually deflated when they found out the practical limitations of HTS.
The 'critical current density', or the maximum amount of current a superconductor can support before becoming resistive, of YBCO is very high, about a million amperes per square centimeter, and the material could remain superconductive in relatively high magnetic fields. Unfortunately, so far attempts to fabricate practical superconducting wires from YBCO have failed, since its irregular grains are difficult to work into strips and wires.
A better material for power electric applications eventually appeared in the form of 'bismuth, strontium, calcium, copper, and oxygen' ('BSCCO', pronounced 'bosco' or 'bisco') materials. BSCCO has flat, regular grains that can be more easily aligned, and proved much easier to fabricate, although it does not have nearly the current capacity of YBCO.
Researchers are now able to encase grainy, brittle BSCCO material in silver and extrude the assembly into long filaments. The filaments are then rolled and heated to align the BSCCO layers to form a continuous wire. BSCCO has a layered structure; rolling breaks up and spreads the layers, and heating merges them together. Unfortunately, the silver coating substantially increases the cost of BSCCO wires.
The current critical current density of BSCCO is about 70,000 amperes per square centimeter. This value is about three times greater than it was in the mid-1990s. Practical BSCCO wires are not made entirely of superconducting material, and so their actual critical current density is about 15,000 amperes per square centimeter.
A promising new HTS, 'magnesium diboride (MgB2)', was discovered in 2001 by a team of Japanese materials researchers. Although it has a Tc of only 39 degrees Kelvin, it is cheap, easy to fabricate, and much easier to work into wires than other HTS materials. The low Tc is a drawback, but it at least allows MgB2 to be chilled with a mechanical cryocooler system rather than liquid helium.
MgB2 suffers from a low critical current density of about 35,000 amperes per square centimeter and poor resistance to magnetic fields, but researchers are making progress in both these areas.
Practical applications of superconductors have focused in three areas: electric power systems and devices, such as power transmission lines, electric motors, and transformers; sensitive 'superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)' sensors; and ultrafast superconducting digital logic components.
Electric power systems offer the greatest potential in the near term, and indeed are the primary application for HTS. As it turned out, HTS has some limitations that restrict its usefulness for SQUIDS and logic devices, but substantial improvements have also been made in traditional LTS technology to advance those fields.

Hang this gizmo behind your ear, and it measures your posture, gait and other biomechanical data, perfect for athletes who want to improve their performance. The scientists who created it at Imperial College in London also say it will also be useful to monitor orthopedic patients as they recover from surgery. It can measure step frequency, stride length and acceleration, data that can help trainers enhance the performance of Olympic athletes, for example..
It works by employing a tiny accelerometer, whose data is wirelessly transmitted to a PC with software specially developed to analyze its data. By the time the device released in about a year to 18 months, the developers also hope to extend its range beyond its current 30 feet, and also enable it to monitor heart rate and other vital signs.

26 Jul THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS
What Are The Signs of Separation Trauma?
This Film Tells Us A Lot
Tim Wardle's documentary, Three Identical Strangers, is a timely and disturbing account of the trauma of early separation. As a psychoanalyst who specializes in separation trauma, I left the theater shaken and troubled. Children aren't for using. They aren't for self-serving studies, proving points or punishing parents (yes, Trump and your cronies, that's you.) The scars are severe and they last a lifetime. We see those scars in Bobby, David, and especially Eddy. The triplet's separation was deliberate. It didn't have to happen. It happened 6 months after the triplets were born on July 12, 1961 to an unwed Jewish high...

Five Legal Revolutions Since the 17th Century
An Analysis of a Global Legal History
Series: Studies in the History of Law and Justice, Vol. 1
Halpérin, Jean-Louis
2014, XVI, 194 p. 1 illus.
- Constitutes a unique study, testing the concept of "legal revolution" on an historical basis through to the present
- Provokes new debates in legal philosophy about the rule of change
This book presents an analysis of global legal history in Modern times, questioning the effect of political revolutions since the 17th century on the legal field. Readers will discover a non-linear approach to legal history as this work investigates the ways in which law is created. These chapters look at factors in legal revolution such as the role of agents, the policy of applying and publicising legal norms, codification and the orientations of legal writing, and there is a focus on the publicization of law.
The author uses Herbert Hart's schemes to conceive law as a human artefact or convention, being the union between primary rules of obligations and secondary rules conferring powers. Here we learn about those secondary rules and the legal construction of the Modern state, and we question the extent to which codification and law reporting were likely to revolutionize the legal field.
These chapters examine the hypothesis of a legal revolution that could have concerned many countries in modern times. To begin with, the book considers the legal aspect of the construction of Modern States in the 17th and 18th centuries. It goes on to examine the consequences of the codification movement as a legal revolution before looking at the so-called "constitutional" revolution, linked with the extension of judicial review in many countries after World War II. Finally, the book enquires into the construction of an EU legal order and international law.
In each of these chapters, the author measures the scope of the change, how the secondary rules are concerned, the role of the professional lawyers and what are the characters of the new configuration of the legal field. This book provokes new debates in legal philosophy about the rule of change and will be of particular interest to researchers in the fields of law, theories of law, legal history, philosophy of law and historians more broadly.

Hi Kim,
I usually start my units with a KWL chart or a demo to get their attention. I read somewhere that teaching inquiry-based science is like a well-choreographed dance. It is not a free for all with the kids just doing what they want. I started out slow, teaching the kids how to question, respond, test ideas, etc. If they haven't been taught these things it will be chaos. Once they get use to it you can let go more. Is the curriculum you're teaching based on the National Standards or is it something different?

Is anyone else out there taking this workshop alone? I wanted to ask
someone about "letting go." I am finding it hard to let go of the
curriculum that I am accustomed to teaching! It is a whole new way of
thinking for me. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting started on a
new unit? How do you start out? Do you just throw materials out there and
let the children lead the way? It seems so foreign to me...
