Interview of Khanjan Kishore Nath – the man behind the first Assamese crowd-funded movie
Hailing from a village in Assam, Khanjan Kishore Nath is yet another inspirational example of a dynamic personality who has proved that making dreams come true cannot always be marred by shortage of finance. He made the first ever crowd-funded film of Assam called Saknoia, which has won accolades all over. This man is the kind of artist who indulges in art just because he simply loves it, and not because he wants to earn money and fame through the same. Here is an interview with this absolutely humble and determined film maker.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Basically I would love to introduce myself as a "village filmmaker". I was born in a hilly village of Karbi Anglong called Baithalangso in the year of 1985. There, I spent 16 years of my life. Those years were the best years of my life. It gave me vast experience about life, nature and people. I think I am very down to earth, and can connect extremely well with village life and villagers.
Education details – schooling, college and after.
I completed my schooling in my village Baithalangso. After that I came to Nagaon, which is a small town, to pursue further studies. I wanted to study arts but my father forced me to join Science stream. So I took up Science ; but due to lack of interest, I failed in it. Thus I lost three years and again joined Arts. After getting done with H.S., I came to Guwahati. I wanted to study Literature as a major subject but again my father forced me to join BBA. And so, I took admission in BBA in NERIM. I passed out in 2009. After that I went to Mumbai to pursue film making course. I joined the Zee Institute of Media Arts, for a course in Direction. But before doing this course, I had already made three short films. The institute gave me an environment which inspired me a lot. After completing the course I came back to Assam and completed Masters in Communication and Journalism from Gauhati University.
What initially interested you into film making?
When I was a school boy, I used to watch Bhaona (traditional form of entertainment in Assam) in my village. But it did not attract me due to its unorganized manner. In our village there was a cinema hall made by bamboo. We were not allowed to go there . But there, for the first time, I watched the Assamese film "Haladhiya Sarai Bao Dhan Khai" by Jahnu Barua in big screen. I was completely surprised to see the big, moving pictures! May be that was the first time, when I felt an interest towards film making. When I used to come to Nagaon, every Friday I used to watch films in the cinema hall and gradually my interest towards films began to rise. During that time an organization held a film festival in Nagaon and I got the opportunity to watch all the films screened. Actually that was the turning point for me. It changed my entire perception of films. It gave me the chance to understand what films actually mean and brought me to the field of realistic films.
What does film making mean to you?
For me film making is not about just making some visuals. This is the one of the most creative ways of art. I have some stories to tell which I can construct through camera only. I can't write a story through pen. So for me this is the easiest way to tell a story.
What inspires you? How do you define your work?
I think the first inspiration comes from our own hearts. There are lots of people and lots of small incidents which have inspired me. My village, my people and my culture have always inspired me a lot. Every small incident that happens in my life also inspires me. Whenever I think of some concept, the first thing that comes to my mind is my village. That's why I always go to my village. The green Tika hills, and the Barpani River inspire me emotionally all the time. The works of legendary filmmakers like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Akira Kurosawa, Wong Kar-wai, Kim Ki duk and others help me to understand the medium of cinema. Their magical style of cinema-making teaches me the art. My works are very simple and straight forward, as well as village oriented. I think my work reflects my life. Cinema is also a part of life. It reflects our society, thoughts, culture etc. My cinema is not different from all these. For me, I don't want to define my cinema as an Assamese cinema. Yes, my films are in Assamese language, but I would love to say that my approach of film making is world cinema only.
Please brief your work profile as a film maker from inception till date.

- "The Bicycle" was selected for FILM BAZAAR organized by International Film Festival of India (IFFI 2011).
- "The Bicycle" was invited to PRODUCER'S LAB organized by International Film Festival of Rotterdam 2012
- "If" won best student film award in Global Short Film Festival 2012 in Bangalore and Won Best Director, Best Cinematographer & Best Actor in R.A.I.T Film Festival at D.Y. Patil University.
- "Saknoia" was selected for various film festivals such as Indian Film Festival Stuttgart/Germany, Baghdad International Film Festival, Iraq, 5thCMS International Children's Film Festival 2013, etc.
How did the concept of "Saknoia" come to you?
From my personal point of view, "Saknoia" is not really an exceptional film, except from one point. The exceptional point is that it is the first ever Assamese crowd funding film. The concept of "Saknoia" is very simple. Before deciding the finance for the film, I had fixed the location and arranged requirements for production. I didn't have a single penny, so I decided not to invest money ; and that was why I selected the particular concept. I used the villagers as actors in my film.
How did you come up with the idea of crowd-funding? And how was the response?
I really wanted to make the film but I didn't have funds. Also, nobody wants to invest 20 thousand rupees for a short film. But I wanted to make it anyhow. So I made an appeal on Facebook, asking people to donate bucks for my film. I "inboxed" my friends on Facebook. The concept of crowd-funding is not new in the field of cinema. Films of such kind have been made earlier in India and abroad. But in Assam "Saknoia" has been the first step. In the initial stage people did not show interest towards my appeal. Some people even doubted that I might use the money to run some kind of business. Still some people supported me. I got funds from people belonging to Assam, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Aurangabad and Dubai. I think I received great response from the people.
What kind of impact has "Saknoia" made in your life?
"Saknoia" is a special film for me for various reasons. Earlier I made short films without any proper distribution, marketing and promotion. "Saknoia" is not only the first ever crowd funding film in Assam, but also the first Assamese short film that was properly distributed online. "Saknoia" was picked up by Pocket Films from Mumbai for distribution. In terms of promotion, this short film got good response from the media also. Not to forget, this film gave me an opportunity to attend a prestigious film festival in Germany, from where I learn a lot.
Current projects?
Right now I am working on my next short film "Apunsir". It is in Karbi language. This is going to be the first ever Karbi short film. After this I am going to start my first feature film "THE BICYCLE" (CHOR). Hopefully the project can go on floor in April this year.
How has your work experience been?
For me film making is not about glamour. During these years I have learnt a lot of things regarding film making. Sometimes it gives pleasure, and sometimes it gives me sorrow. Till now I have been making short films without any financial support. This gives the advantage of zero barriers from the producer. Most importantly, the results and the responses always give me immense pleasure when my films are screened in festivals.
Your future plans?
Future is always uncertain. Still we plan a lot. Right now my complete concentration is on my Karbi short film. After that, shooting "The Bicycle" (Chor) will be the main priority. This project was already selected in Film Bazaar in International Film Festival of India 2011 and also invited to International Film Festival of Rotterdam 2012. There are some other ambitious projects in my mind. I am planning to make a film on Humen Barguhain's controversial novel "Subala" and another Karbi feature film. Hope everything will go according to my plan.
How would you rate your journey so far?
I have been a student of cinema till now. I am trying to learn more about cinema, as much as possible. Till date I have been able to learn just the "A B C.." of cinema . The world of Cinema is vast. I am just a newborn baby in this world.
Any message for aspiring film makers?
I am also an aspiring filmmaker from Assam. So I don't have that much experience or knowledge to give any message. I would like to say that language is not a very crucial factor for a good film. We can go everywhere in this world with a film of our own language. For that we just need a really good concept.

Plans to introduce a smartcard for passengers travelling on the North East's bus and Metro network suffered a setback today.
Transport operator Nexus, which runs the Metro, warned it could cost up to £11 million over five years to fund the project.
Director general Mike Parker said Nexus backs the long-term plan to introduce smartcards.
But on present calculations the scheme is not viable without a big cash injection from outside, although as costs fall and if extra grants are received, smartcards could be introduced on some of the region's buses.
Leaders of a consortium set up to spearhead the introduction of plastic smartcards, used in place of cash, say they are confident that the scheme, launched with the support of Prime Minister Tony Blair last June, will be a success.
Several councils have been running experiments with smartcards, and pupils at some schools now pay for their meals with them. They could also be used to pay bills such as rent and council tax or at leisure centres and libraries. They could even be used for electronic voting, banking and health services.
Transport is seen as one of the most promising areas for their use, and Nexus and the bus operators have been carrying out their own evaluation of the idea. They have concluded that the cost of installing equipment would be £6.7 million and first-year running costs would be £4.3 million, then £3 million a year after that.
There would be cost benefits, but Mr Parker said: "This scenario returns a negative value of £11 million over five years if transport operators are required to fully fund the scheme from their own resources. This is not a viable position."
Even with a partnership providing outside financial support and shared facilities, the scheme could cost £1.5 million, which is still not viable. To break even the scheme needs a capital cash injection of £6 million plus revenue support.
The North East Regional Smartcard Consortium has received a grant of £250,000 and a small-scale transport scheme will be piloted on buses in Teesdale next month. A new grant application could produce another £600,000 and Mr Parker says that if this is successful, up to a quarter of the bus fleet could be converted.
At a meeting tomorrow, members of the Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Authority will be asked to support the long-term ambition to introduce transport smartcards, subject to a satisfactory business case being established.
Member and Newcastle councillor David Woodsaid: "Of course there has to be a business case but the benefits far outweigh the negatives."

John J. Concado was born in a city so nice, they named it twice. He is the son of Argentinian immigrants who still call him Juanjo, a proud life-long New Yorker, an avid photographer and a tortured Mets fan. John's mother, Maria Teresa, is a NYC public school teacher and one of the main reasons he chose the noble profession of actor. He remembers going to see plays in both English and Spanish at a very young age thanks to her sacrifices and discounted TDF tickets. Even though he is a dog lover, he may have even enjoyed the musical Cats back then…maybe 😉
John received his MA in Psychology from Columbia University before making the scary decision to do a career 180 and go back to his true passion. Though most aren't aware of that fun fact, he is proud of having made that choice, against all odds and after rejecting lucrative corporate offers. His degree comes in very handy when breaking down characters and creating backstories, so it turned out to be a blessing. John was then awarded a scholarship for a MFA program and studied acting with Susan Aston (James Gandolfini's coach) at The Actors Studio Drama School and then with LAByrinth Theater Co. under the direction of Philip Seymour Hoffman. He has worked extensively on stage throughout New York and considers INTAR and LAByrinth Theater Co. his artistic homes. John has acted in many on-camera national commercials for companies such as Verizon and Dunkin' Donuts and is a sought-after bilingual voice artist. He loves doing VO work and never leaves home without some kind of microphone! He has even recorded auditions while on vacation in the most remote of areas. His most recognizable voice work to date is a global campaign for Gatorade starring soccer superstar Lionel Messi called "No te caigas" or "Don't Go Down" as well as playing the role of Dr. Serrano in EA's hit game, Dead Space 3. He is also one of the voices of the Fox Deportes channel and a featured character in an upcoming RockStar Games franchise.
John is a highly respected and reviewed theater actor (NY Times, TimeOut, BroadwayWorld) and recently finished playing a lead in the world premiere of Harrison David Rivers' 'Only You Can Prevent Wildfires' directed by Sherri Eden Barber. He has worked with such celebrated companies as The Public Theater, LAByrinth, INTAR, Two River, and Rattlestick and prides himself on the reputation he has built over years of hard work. Though the stage often calls, John dedicates more time to film and television these days. He is a lead in the feature '42 Seconds of Happiness' which toured the independent festival circuit and won various awards and is now available on streaming services. John also played the comedic lead in a viral sensation with millions of hits called "Argentinian Intervention." It's full of LOL moments and its success was even covered by the local news in Argentina. His next film out will be 'Orgami' in which he plays opposite Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead). It is a beautiful film from young visionary director Woonjae Park. John prides himself on his naturalistic acting and his range – from the darkest of dramas to the most ridiculous of comedies, in both languages! There is no role that scares him and he has seen and done them all…almost. Lastly, John encourages all to register for the National Bone Marrow Registry. His experience with DKMS has changed his life and being a donor is much easier and less scary than people imagine.

Guest post by MJ Lisbeth
This Thanksgiving, I will not be in any situation in which I will have to pray — or, at least, mouth words that sound sufficiently like prayers to please the people around me. The people with whom I will share dinner are not all atheists, but even the ones who still believe do not expect public expressions of faith from me, or anyone else.
I am thankful for that. I am thankful that the people with whom I will spend this holiday are in my life.
But I am also thankful that I don't have to thank God for them. Instead, I can truly feel gratitude to them for being loving and kind people. Even if they give credit to the God they believe in, I am thankful that they share what is best about themselves — their pure and simple humanity — with me.
I will be thankful for the food we will share. Knowing the people who are cooking it, I am sure it will be good. It is a gift of their love and munificence; I am grateful that people can choose to share as they do.
I am most grateful, though, for what will make this year's celebration truly special for me: During the past year, I've begun to move forward from the sexual abuse I suffered from a priest half a century ago. The essays I've written about it have, of course, been part of that process.
I am grateful to and for Bruce for publishing them. I am also grateful for the supportive, encouraging comments some of his readers left in response to my writings.
I am thankful that I don't have to thank God for any of that. Why would I thank such a God for abating my suffering — after letting someone inflict it on me and letting that person go scot-free?
For that matter, why should any victim — whether of sexual abuse, war, poverty or other kinds of violence — thank God if and when things get better? Would we thank someone for putting out a fire after setting it?
I am so grateful to know that I don't have to be thankful such things, for such people.
And I am thankful that I have met people who are better — than the priest, than those who inflict cruelty and destruction, than God.
All of the gratitude I will express will go to the ones who will share their holiday feast with me; and to the ones who helped me to get to where I am now, and who are helping me to understand where and how I might go next.
God is not among them. I am grateful for that.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson seemingly stumbled in a radio interview published Wednesday when he was pressed about the US debt limit.
In an awkward back-and-forth on "Marketplace," the top-tier GOP presidential candidate baffled host Kai Ryssdal by apparently conflating the debt limit with broader budgetary issues.
Ryssdal asked Carson if the US should raise the debt limit, a hot-button issue that has repeatedly generated congressional brinkmanship in recent years.
The Treasury Department recently told congressional leaders that Congress would need to raise the nation's debt ceiling by Nov. 5 to avoid risking a default on the nation's obligations.
Many economists say raising the debt limit is essential to avoid a potential catastrophic default. In recent years, conservative lawmakers have tied increasing that cap to demands for spending cuts. President Barack Obama has said he won't negotiate over the issue.
Carson told Ryssdal that he "would not sign an increased budget," but as the radio host repeatedly noted, raising the debt limit only addresses the US' ability to pay the debt it's already amassed.
"I'm going try one more time, sir," Ryssdal said after explaining the issue a few times. "This is debt that's already obligated. Would you not favour increasing the debt limit to pay the debts already incurred?"
They then moved onto other topics.
For Carson, a political neophyte, the wonky but important debt-limit issue could raise additional concerns among his critics who say he's unprepared for the Oval Office.
Click here to listen to the full Carson interview.
A transcript of the debt-limit exchange is below:
Ryssdal: All right, so let's talk about debt then and the budget. As you know, Treasury Secretary Lew has come out in the last couple of days and said, "We're going to run out of money, we're going to run out of borrowing authority, on the fifth of November." Should the Congress then and the president not raise the debt limit? Should we default on our debt?
Carson: Let me put it this way: If I were the president, I would not sign an increased budget. Absolutely would not do it. They would have to find a place to cut.
Ryssdal: To be clear, it's increasing the debt limit, not the budget, but I want to make sure I understand you. You'd let the United States default rather than raise the debt limit?
Carson: No, I would provide the kind of leadership that says, "Get on the stick guys, and stop messing around, and cut where you need to cut, because we're not raising any spending limits, period."
Ryssdal: I'm going try one more time, sir. This is debt that's already obligated. Would you not favour increasing the debt limit to pay the debts already incurred?
Carson: What I'm saying is what we have to do is restructure the way that we create debt. I mean if we continue along this, where does it stop? It never stops. You're always going ask the same question every year. And we're just gonna keep going down that pathway. That's one of the things I think that the people are tired of.
Ryssdal: I'm really trying not to be circular here, Dr. Carson, but if you're not going to raise the debt limit and you're not going to give specifics on what you're gonna cut, then how are we going to know what you are going to do as president of the United States?

Blocked Stormwater
Stormwater drains are most often blocked by material such as sand, dirt, mud and leaves. This material is either washed into the pipe via the roof downpipes or sometimes at ground level in storm conditions. Ground drainage coils can also contribute to contamination by carrying clay into the stormwater lateral. Usually deposits slowly build up until the pipe diameter is severely reduced and efficiency drops to a point where a complete blockage occurs seemingly all of a sudden. Blocked stormwaters can be a the cause of basement dampness, ground subsidence and subsequent damage to other structures.
Stormwater drainage is quite separate from sewer drainage as a legal requirement. Where the stormwater ends up varies with property age and location. Older homes may have soak pits – holes in the ground filled with large rocks or concrete slabs where local ground drainage is suitable. Eventually leaves etc… will block the ability for soakage and the pit will require maintenance. Other older properties drain to kerb outlets. These can be damaged by subsequent footpath work, cable installations and retaining wall subsidence. Also root invasions are a common source of problems. In areas such as Lower Hutt drainage may end up in streams. Stream banks can erode and flood events bury these outlets.
Newer properties will usually drain to a Council main. The most common source of problems for these is siltation and root invasions. A recent issue has been hardened cement wash washed into ground drains when exposed aggregate paving is installed. Schools and public places have issues with litter and items such as tennis balls, plastic bottles and cans entering drains. These pose a special challenge but one H2O is able to meet.
This is where H2O Contractors can help !
H2O Contractors have high pressure water jetting units (hydrojetters) that are extremely effective at removing all manner of blockages from dirt to cement wash. A downstream access point is always preferred and quite essential for large diameter pipes. Our wide range of nozzles can remove stubborn blockages whenever pipes are relatively undamaged. If pipes are damaged our CCTV and electronic location equipment can be invaluable for isolating areas to be repaired.
H2O offer a wide variety of hydrojetter trucks with flows ranging from 30 to 400 litres a minute and pressure from 1,500 psi to 12,500 psi. We can therefore clean pipes ranging in size from 50 mm up to greater than 1 m diameter. Add to this a capability of holding up to 500 m of drain cleaning hose, a range of root saws and rotating nozzles, CCTV targeting of blockages and tanker capacities up to 7,000 litres and it is obvious H2O can meet almost any challenge.

$5-6K is what many of the major providers are charging for their packages. These packages process both GNSS and Terrestrial data. They will use data from GPS, GLONASS, Gallileo and Compass satellite systems. They would compare to your Microsurvey CADD Ultimate version if it had post processing capabilities.

Dear Friend,
This week, Chief Rabbi of Sochi Ari Edelkopf said he and his family are facing deportation. He is accused of making threats to national security and attempting to subvert the Russian constitution. He wrote on Sunday that the "threat" he poses has not been specified, and he has received no further information about specific allegations against him.
On Wednesday, a Russian judge convicted opposition politician Aleksei Navalny, one of the Kremlin's most ardent critics, on fraud charges. Mr. Navalny was given a five-year suspended prison sentence, fined 500,000 rubles ($8,400) and barred from running in next year's presidential election. He and his supporters dismissed the underlying accusation – that he embezzled $500,000 worth of timber from a state-owned company – as baseless and politically motivated.
Both Russian and American news outlets have reported that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Anatoly Antonov may become the new Ambassador to the United States, replacing current Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, who has held the post since 2008.
In Belarus this week, police arrested suspects in the desecration of a Mogilev Holocaust memorial. NCSEJ has been closely monitoring developments in this case, and contacted Belarussian officials when the incident was first reported in November 2016. The Belarus Embassy worked with NCSEJ and provided updates on the matter. NCSEJ acknowledged the Belarus government's action which will hopefully demonstrate that anti-Semitic vandalism and other hateful acts will not be tolerated.
Romanians took to the streets to protest a government decree that many saw as backtracking on fighting corruption. Romania's long struggle against corruption has placed the issue at the center of its political debates. The government decree would have decriminalized some corruption offenses, which alarmed Romanian judges and prosecutors. In Brussels, the European Commission expressed concern, as many people inside and outside Romania feared the decree could undermine the rule of law in one of Europe's youngest democracies. Although the government revoked the decree and survived a no-confidence vote on Wednesday, opponents vowed to continue to fight, and on Thursday, Justice Minister Florin Iordache resigned.
Included this week is a summary by NCSEJ Research Fellow, Yury Terekhov, on the launch of Current Time, an independent Russian-language news channel created by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America. Also included are articles on how the U.S. and the Trump administration can approach Russia. An Economist editorial, "What America might want from Russia, but is unlikely to get," provides a particularly interesting and thorough perspective.

The library will be holding its annual Easter Egg Hunt Saturday March 31st. Children of all ages can enjoy crafts and games, a petting zoo featuring live rabbits, and a meet and greet with the Easter Bunny. Events start at 1:00 with the egg hunt kicking off at 2:00.
Pages Invites all to come!
Yes, I'm inviting everyone! I figure if I have to suffer the insufferable smell of pooping rabbits, melted chocolate smeared on faces and an Easter Bunny who's bent on taking one of my nine lives, YOU have to suffer with me, too.
I'm sure you're wondering where I get my delightful descriptions of this event. Oh… you're not wondering this…TOO BAD! I'm going to tell you anyway.
It happened last year, at my first egg hunt. The day started out like any other, however, it quickly changed when I saw Erin running around like her pants were on fire. My guess was that she had told a lie, as the saying goes, "Liar Liar Pants on FIRE"! Little did I know, that was not the case. Instead she was panicked because some giant rabbit had not shown up yet. I laughed at her; I have to admit she was pretty funny looking. I sauntered over to the check out desk with my baggy of teats to sit and watch the show. After about 5 minutes, the door dinged and in rolled a cart of some sort of stinky fur balls. Curious, I jumped down to investigate. Just as I stuck my nose through the grate on the cage to see what it was, the horrid creature bit me! I jumped back, only to be met with a cackle from Erin. I gave her a glare hoping her pants would reignite, as they must have temporarily cooled. The lady who accompanied these creatures informed me they were rabbits and baby ones at that. She pulled one out and showed it to me. I made sure to keep just out of biting distance.
I was so entranced with these over grown cotton balls I hadn't noticed the covey of children who had gathered with me to scrutinize the rabbits. The next thing I know one of the children spun me around and planted a giant chocolate covered kiss smack dab in the middle of my forehead. If the smell of slobbery chocolate wasn't enough to knock me unconscious, the death grip around my neck was sure to accomplish the deed. As the world was growing dark I felt the hands slip away and I was placed on the ground. It was just then, as my blurry sight was sliding back into place, that I saw the most horrid, grotesque, monsterrific creature I had ever laid my eyes on…. The EASTER BUNNY.
I turned and ran, not entirely sure where I was headed. My vision hadn't fully recovered and I kept stumbling over my own feet. I tripped and rolled out into the middle of the room, with no cover, no nothing that I could hide under. The rabbit was right on me! I flipped over, hoping my playing opossum would make it go away. Hope was not in my favor. The Easter Bunny had me in its grasp. I thought for sure I was going to get eaten! A strange gargle rose out of its mouth. I had no idea what that noise meant. It did have a familiar ring to it. That's when it hit me. The Easter Bunny was laughing at me. I took this moment to look it over and realized that it wasn't a monster but an overgrown version of the rabbits I had just been looking at. I knew those were harmless so this one must be too. I relaxed into its soft fur. We took a few pictures and promised to see each other again next year.
Ok, so I guess last year wasn't that bad. And I am looking forward to this Saturday to meet up with my old friend. I'd love to introduce you all to my friend the Easter Bunny. Maybe I'll get a special egg filled with teats!! I'll share with you all….Just Kidding, they are all mine!
Hoppy Easter!

Companies evolve and grow (usually, and usually that's what you want). People don't always, and that sucks, but keeping somebody who is no longer good for the business is a stupid way to halt the growth of your company.
Tag: hiring mistakes
Pay Me Now or Pay Me Later – Hiring Mistakes that Are Simple to Avoid
In my work I see four mistakes made in HR strategies and tactics over and over again:
- Hiring too fast
- Firing too slow
- No follow through
- Meet people where they to take them where you want to go
1. Hiring too fast – not having the discipline and forethought to go through some sort of structured process (any structured process) when hiring people. Hiring the wrong person cost the company 5 to 15 times their annual salary. Yes that much. No, your gut is wrong. When you start using a process you'll figure out how wrong.
Besides paying the wrong person to do work that's not getting done, there's the impact to others, your time, the lost opportunities of everybody affected, how it affects your clients and customers, etc.
If you're in a rush hiring somebody, just remember how much it's going to cost you later. Pay me now or pay me later.
2. Firing too slow – if they're the wrong person, they're the wrong person. Get them out as fast as you can and move on. Yes, sometimes employees with the right behaviours (character, attitude, whatever you want to call it) can be coached, mentored, or transferred into a position that lets them play to their strengths everyday, but only in some cases. Set a six month deadline, then follow through.
(p.s. the most common behaviour you need to interview for? The ability to play well with others. )
3. No follow through – you've hired the best person available for the job, and they show up bright, shiny, and eager for their first day of work. This is exciting!
Oops, no desk, no computer, no introductions, no face time with you because you're too busy putting out the fire-of-the-day? No follow-up, no one-on-one face time with the boss, no performance reviews (except one a year because the company says you have to).
Guess what, Mrs. (or Mr.) Manager: Your Most Important Job is Managing Your People. That means hiring the right people, firing the wrong ones, and give them the feedback, tools, and coaching they need to do their jobs to the best of their ability while you remove obstacles for them. Spend your time doing that, and they can take care of the fire-of-the-day for you. Happy, productive people doing your work. If you can manage that (pun intended) somebody might even promote you.
4. Meet people where they are, take them to where you want to go – This one is a little less intuitive, so I'll use a metaphor. Imagine you're running a company, and the (admitted hypothetical) goal is for everybody in the company to run a marathon. Maybe you're a running shoe company, and this is a great way to promote your brand, get intimate with your customers, network with potential new hires, whatever.
So, you send out an e-mail telling everybody where and when the marathon is. You've arranged for media coverage, registrations, and even maybe some prizes for the highest performing employees. All set, right?
Crossing the finish line yourself, you think to yourself what a great event! We're really going to see some great results from this. Here's the problem, Mrs. (or Mr. Leader): Not only did you leave most of your people heaving their guts out halfway through the course. Some of them are still tying on their running shoes at the start line. A couple of them couldn't arrange a ride, and there's two guys having one last cigarette trying to figure out why the hell they had to get up early on a Saturday morning anyway. Don't forget the folks that got lost on the way to the race, because they're still on the clock too.
Your job is to make sure as many people cross the finish line with you. Not to make sure you cross the finish line first. That's just your ego talking. Meet people where they are to take them where you need them to go. That's real leadership.
[This rant inspired by HBR's How to Prevent Hiring Disasters]

Developments in Culture, Language, Theology, Technology, and Musical Style
On October 23-24, sixty-five clergy and musicians from around the country gathered at VTS for a consultation centered around The Hymnal 1982 and its supplements. The premise of the gathering was to hear from experts as to what had been happening in culture, language, theology, technology, and musical style since the approval of the hymnal in 1982.
Dr. James Litton, who had served on the committee to revise the hymnal gave the keynote address and described the process, surprising many with the observation that conversations about a "new" hymnal had begun as early as the 1960s. The Achievements of the Hymnal 82 and its Supplements (Marilyn Haskel and William Bradley Roberts), the Developments in Culture in 1982 (Frank Wade) and the Developments in Theology (Katherine Grieb) comprised the remainder of the plenary addresses.
The rest of the conference included panel discussions about developments in language (Mel Bringle, Susan Palo Cherwien, Carl Daw), developments in musical style (Michael Hawn, Carl MaultsBy, Andrew Sheranian, Keith Tan), and developments in technology (Nancy Bryan, David Eicher, Marilyn Haskel, Martin Seltz).
In addition, conferees heard from ecumenical partners, Martin Seltz from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and David Eicher from the Presbyterian Church USA about the recent revisions of the hymnals in those denominations.
A hymn sing, Singing with Martin Luther, led by Gail Ramshaw, with accompaniments by organist, Thomas Smith, provided a wonderful end to the first day of the conference. This event included hymns by Martin Luther as well as hymns by 20th century Lutherans. Two hundred people gathered in Immanuel Chapel for some energetic singing.
After a lovely closing dinner, conferees heard a short recital by baritone, James Martin, accompanied by David Lang. This recital included arrangements of spirituals as well as an art song by Herbert Howells.

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - The Salisbury University volleyball team earned its first Capital Athletic Conference victory on Tuesday night, defeating St. Mary's College of Maryland, 15-6, in the fifth set to complete a 3-2 win.
The Sea Gulls opened the match, winning the first two sets 25-14, 25-19, before the Seahawks evened the contest and forced a fifth set with 25-17 and 25-21 victories in the third and fourth sets, respectively.
SU (18-3, 1-1 CAC) took an early eight-point lead in the first game with a 9-1 run after the teams were tied early, 3-3. Junior Mattie Smith, who led the Gulls with 17 kills, tallied two to start that run, as the team also benefited from six St. Mary's attack errors.
The Seahawks got back to within five points, 15-10, but more Seahawk errors and kills from junior Julie Poston and Smith powered a 10-4 run to allow the Sea Gulls to take the first set.
Salisbury opened up the second set with a 10-4 lead, as freshman Katie Stouffer tallied three kills in the early run.
Poston and Stouffer joined Smith as the other two Sea Gulls with double-digit kills, registering 10 and 13, respectively.
St. Mary's (15-4, 1-1 CAC) eventually cut the Salisbury lead to 12-11 and was able to keep the game close from there, including tying the score at 16-16.
A Stouffer kill got SU the lead back, and two kills from Poston and junior Kirby Buttry, in Salisbury's final run, led the Gulls to a 2-0 lead in the match.
The Seahawks claimed the next two sets to tie the match and force the decisive fifth set.
The Gulls found their groove as a Poston kill and two service aces by freshman Shannon Russell helped the team jump out to a 5-0 lead in the game.
Salisbury never led by less than three during the remainder of the final set, eventually pushing the lead to 12-3, with the help of two kills from Smith, before taking the game for the win.
Freshman Gretchen Vandermeer and sophomore Kacey Franz both eclipsed 20 assists, tallying 23 and 22, respectively, while junior Michelle Meehan set a career-high with 29 digs, breaking her previous high of 26 from earlier this season.
SU will next be in action on Friday, as the Sea Gulls return home to Maggs Physical Activity Center to host University of Mary Washington at 7 p.m.; the match will be part of the first-day action of this weekend's Sea Gull Classic.

Securus Technologies is a company based in Dallas that provides public information, inmate monitoring, biometric analysis, self-service products and information management that are meant to improve public safety. The firms provide its services to public correction facilities and all law enforcement agencies in U.S and other parts of the world.
Securus Technologies has made significant attempts to negotiate jointly beneficial and smart financial agreements and understandings with companies that use it exclusive patents before its permission in its entire past. The firm has a capability of coming into the common ground on fair licensing with many parties that include the GTL license agreement.
The 7 June 2016 article by GTL had many statements that Securus found to be inaccurate and misleading. For reason that is unknown, GTL had decided to use their resources to take part in license fight with Securus Technologies. Securus went forward to set the matter straight and correct the several misleading GTL claims by making it public of its exclusive business rights which exceed the one that held by GTL. Securus illustrated how its copyright metrics were much better than those of GTL's.
In addition, Securus noted that the Texas federal court litigation was long overdue and that GTL was in no position to search any further favor. With regard to the GTL's claims on the validity of 816 copyrights, Securus went to court rehearing, thus GTL was unable to request for damages as it had earlier stated. Even though the PTAB had refused to review the allegation made against Securus, GTL was proclaiming a single independent claim from the 816 patent rights in the lawsuit against Securus. The GTL independent claim failed to correspond to the crucial security feature revealed during the agreement between GTL and Securus.

As with all Kobe 5's
- Listed: November 1, 2014 8:18 pm
- Expires: This ad has expired
The Zoom Kobe 5 Del Sol is among the Air Zoom colorways. Colorways are variants of the Bryant five which are created with bright and brilliant colors,http://www.cartouchesansfin.fr/likableshoes.php, accompanied by wise and unique designs. You will find other colorways offered within the industry, but what makes the Del Sol special is the fact that its aesthetic is actually particular. This is because it is inspired by the Lakers' team colors of Varsity Purple,http://vermontscarf.com/freerun3team.php, Black and Yellow. The Del Sol is a colorway release of the Kobe 5 that is also called the Away. This is since the color schema of the shoe is precisely exactly the same as the Lakers' away jersey colors.
As with all Kobe 5's, the Zoom Bryant five is constructed with a low-cut ankle, generating it exclusive, as basketball shoes are typically high cut. These permit for better movement and footing when playing. This really is really 1 of the special attributes of Bryant shoes. An additional great factor about this shoe is the fact that it's incredibly lightweight. It only weighs slightly more than ten oz. This makes it perfect for quick movement and high-flying stunts whilst on court,http://harrietts.com.au/nikefree5blackwomens.php, which are signature Kobe Bryant abilities. The Flywire technologies, Lunar Foam and upper perforations make it extremely comfy to wear. These make the shoe breathable,http://rossettoverde.it/neonhotpunch.php, soft and safe. All these make the Zoom Kobe 5 the ideal basketball shoe.
Lakers Pride using the Kobe 5 Del Sol Colorway
This shoe debuted on Kobe's feet on March 4, 2009. It was a Lakers-Heat game that had Kobe facing off with Nike's newest Air Jordan endorser, Dwayne Wade. The Lakers may possibly have not won the game that night,http://printogdesign.com/femcoralrunnings.php, but they eventually won the 2009 NBA Championship that extremely exact same year.

I welcome, with great pride, the opportunity to lead the Watervliet City School District in an effort to continue moving the district forward and sustaining the enormous strides we have made in my seven years with this district.
I will continue to serve all of Watervliet, remaining visible and accessible both within the educational community as well as the community at large. I encourage parents of our students to become as actively involved as possible in your child's education. Think of education as a three-legged stool: the child, the family, and the school district. All parts are equally important in educating the "whole child."
In these tough economic times, with the high level of accountability that has been placed on educators as well as students, we must accomplish more with less, maximize our resources--thin as they may be--and take a very close look at what we value and what is really working for the students in our school district.
Parents, community members, teachers, staff, administrators and students must become familiar with terms such as "tax levy cap," state aid, unfunded mandates, APPR, and a whole list of terms that affect our students' education and tax payers. I believe in being fiscally responsible and developing a budget that will provide our students with the necessary resources--people and programs--essential to educate and prepare them to be college and career ready, while not placing the burden of the entire budget on the backs of local tax payers.
Safe schools that are conducive for teaching and learning are as important as putting the most highly-qualified teachers in front of every student, every day. It is one of the district's priorities to stay current with the technological needs of students as well as provide adequate professional development opportunities for educators to stay current in their practice.
In order to fulfill our mission statement and our obligation to our students, we must not accept just being "good," but instead, strive for excellence, for every student…every day.
This blog offers me another way to connect and communicate with parents, staff, students and the Watervliet community. I plan to share information and updates about our schools and other education-related topics regularly through this blog. With the many changes in education today, it is more important than ever to keep the lines of communication open between our schools and community. I encourage open discussion about the topics that matter most to you and welcome your feedback.

text: I'm so excited! This has been a good week. If you read my "about me" page, you saw that my story Blind Sighted was slated for inclusion in a Chicken Soup book that had to be canceled. Blind Sighted was the first story I submitted, so I was proud that it had been chosen and disappointed to learn that the book wouldn't be completed. Dahlynn McKowen of Publishing Syndicate, and co-author of that book, assured me that she would try to place my story in another title. Two days ago, I received the email I'd been hoping for, the permission form to use my story Blind Sighted in the upcoming title Chicken Soup for the Soul: Stories to Soothe the Spirit.Another piece of good news this week as that I walked out of the realty office with three, not two, signed leases (see "Please Re-Lease Me" posted October 13, 2007). Join me in having a great day.

Wear Glasses? Makeup Tips & Tricks to Try8:04 AM
I've split these tips into two categories. The first one is all about the basics. These tips are the best of the best when it comes to your daily routine. The second one is making sure you keep your prescription in mind. There are different tips and tricks for nearsightedness, farsightedness and even astigmatism. Read on to find out what will work best for you!
The Basics
1. Make sure that you choose colors of eye shadow that compliment you because glasses tend to magnify your eyes. The best way to know is to choose coordinating colors to your eyes. Blue eyes look great with grey hues. Brown eyes look best with greens. Green eyes are complimented by purple hues.
2. It's important that you be careful when you`re applying makeup. Watch for clumps and smudges because they will be more noticeable.
3. When applying mascara, make sure that you apply it thinly and avoid waterproof formulas. Make sure your lashes don`t touch the lenses of your glasses. From experience, this can be rather annoying.
4. Apply a highlighter to the brow bone for a more seductive look. Always remember to blend, blend, blend. Even though you're wearing glasses, people will notice harsh lines between colors.
2. If you`re farsighted, you need to use matte shades of shadows. This is because your eyes appear larger behind your glasses. Try beige, pinks and oranges. These colors will accent your eyes without making them seem larger than they actually are.
3. If you have astigmatism, you can wear stronger makeup. Apply eyeliner to the upper lid and blend carefully.
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed the tips and tricks. Have other tips you'd like to share? Comment below. I'd love to hear them!

Love These Tips!! Thank you!!ReplyDelete
This is such a great post Kate for all of us who wear glasses. I used to wear contacts, but then switched back to glasses. They seem more affordable and doesn't irritate my eyes. But when it comes wearing makeup, I wish I can go back to contacts. I have astigmatism, so it's nice to know that I can keep wearing heavier eye makeup (I love to make my eyes pop!). Thank you for such great tips!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love the tips for astigmatism. I have it also!Delete
Ugh! I hate it when you have a clump of mascara and it smudges on your glasses!ReplyDeleteReplies
Absolutely! It irritates me more than anything!Delete
These are great tips! I am glad you posted makeup tips that a woman with glasses can use!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad that you got some great info from this post!Delete
Very good tips! So far, I'm still wearing contacts, but not looking forward to the day when I have to wear glasses!ReplyDelete

Ooh great tips. I never thought my glasses might make my eyes look smaller. I do know they hide the dark circles... lolReplyDelete
These are great tips, especially the one about wearing avoiding waterproof items.ReplyDelete
I wear glasses and I have astigmatism, why can I wear stronger make-up? Do my glasses make my eyes smaller too? Wow! If that is so I never noticed! Crazy!ReplyDelete
Such great information for all of us that wear glasses! Very helpful...thanks for taking the time to write this post!ReplyDelete
Great information! Thanks for sharing on Monday Madness link party :)ReplyDelete
Awesome post. Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you being a part of our party. Please stop by on Monday at 7 pm. Happy Sunday! Lou Lou GirlsReplyDelete

Subscribe To Titanfall DLC Modes Will Be Free Updates
I've already subscribed
Respawn Entertainment plans to add new game modes to Titanfall after the multiplayer shooter's launch. Thankfully, they won't charge us extra for them.
Prior to the game's launch, Respawn announced that they were planning three paid DLC packs for the game. Studio co-founder Vince Zampella said on Twitter that game modes won't be included with those premium add-ons:
Titanfall shipped with five modes. While I like the game on the whole, these modes are a little too conventional:
While this isn't the most imaginative idea, I wonder whether they're planning a Pilots-only mode. That would cut off one of the most interesting aspects of the game (the Titans) but would place a greater emphasis on skillful parkour than the base game. I also wonder whether they'd boost up the player count for maps if they had a match type like this. I'd think the game could handle, say, 8v8 or 10v10 if there were no Titans stomping around.
Titanfall's premium DLC packs will each add new maps and other unknown content. Every pack will cost $10 to purchase on release. However, players can spring for a $24.99 Season Pass to get all three at a discount. The Origin website says that these DLC packs will arrive in the Spring, Summer and Fall of this year.
Respawn is also working on patches to clean up and rebalance the game. The first major patch was released on Xbox One and PC this weekend. The update reduced the effectiveness of the Smart Pistol and Dead Man's Trigger while also removing several bugs.

I've recently read The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris. I found it quite inspiring and empowering for us atheists to have a same in moral matters of the world.
I especially like his idea of a moral elite advisory group that gives moral direction to the world. I think this a great and beneficial idea.
I like also the idea of 'well-being' being the basis for our moral code.

I do find it refreshing that people are more straight forward in atheist communities than not. And I would have to qualify that not all atheist communities are more aggressive than non atheist communities – but I do find a certain scene of directness and crossing social boundaries that are upheld in other places.
This isn't to say that I don't contravene quite a few social boundaries myself, and in fact feel quite more at home here on Nexus than anywhere else, where I find…Continue

Who's seen this movie?
And who knows the history?
I got the movie out, knowing nothing about it. I watched the whole thing, surprised that it had some supernatural type scenes in it – in the form of dream sequence, but going along with the creativity of the movie all the same.
Then I get to the extra bits. The making of the movie type thing on the DVD. And I get a whole lot of Christian propaganda.

The Economics of the African Slave Trade: This web site talks about how the African Slave Trade affected the economy in Europe. 7% of slaves were exported to the British North Americas and because of their immunity to malaria and yellow fever, Africans were used in the tropical climates. This web site tells how African slaves helped to build this country. http://dolphin.upenn.edu/~vision/vis/Mar-95/5284.html
African Reparations Movement: This time line provided by the ARM chronologies the beginning and end of slavery. It also gives dates that show England's role in slavery (i.e. 1772, 1801, etc.). http://the.arc.co.uk/arm/CronofSlavery.html
Africans in America: This web site has many illustrations of slaves and slave ships. Africans in America was a four part series on PBS about Africans journey to America. The web page talks about slavery, John Newton the composer of Amazing Grace, the slave trade as well as Liverpool, England.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/
Liverpool-A Place of troubled Water: This is a very interesting and informative article by Marquetta Goodwine. Many people do not consider Liverpool, England as a place known for slavery, but this article gives you everything you need to now about Liverpool's involvement in the African Slave Trade. http://users.aol.com/queenmut/Liverpool.html
Romantic Chronology 18th Century to 1784: If it happened in the eighteenth century you will more that likely find it here!!! http://humanitas.ucsb.edu/projects/pack/rom-chrono/chrono2a.htm
Chronology on the History of Slavery 1619 to 1789:This site was put together by people in the Washington D.C. area known as Columbia Heights. Here you will find a chronology of the history of slavery mainly within the British colonies in North America. There is reference to George Washington and his connection to slavery even before he became President. (Important dates to look at: 1752, 1761, 1763, 1772, and 1776). http://innercity.org/holt/slavechron.html
Slavery in the British Empire: This is a very good site to look at about the Anti-Slavery campaign. It not only focuses on one group but talks about the women ant-slavery society, slaves and anti-slave groups. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk./slavery.htm
American Anti-Slavery Grp. Inc.:The title truly speaks for itself. This page shows how the problem of slavery may have ended in America but still continues on in other parts of the world.

Little Known Facts about Slavery: This is a page in which you can find facts about who sold slaves, the Middle passage, and as well as those who chose to go back to Africa.

England and the Slave Trade: This is a very interesting article by an Irish writer. Many people only think of Africa and the South when they hear slavery, but Mullin compares the slave trade to Ireland and the control that England had over both. http://www.oconnellstreet.com/mullin01.htm
Slavery and Emancipation:This is just a small article talking about slavery and the end of it.
