New Hot Coffee Case Filed In New Jersey
Here we go again. It's another hot coffee case.
According to NorthJersey.Com, there's a brand new McDonald's hot coffee case brewing. (Apologies for that pun). Here's the info:
A 54-year-old Florida man is seeking damages from McDonald's Corporation in a lawsuit filed in Hackensack, claiming that he suffered serious burns from a spilled cup of hot coffee while dining at a McDonald's in River Edge.
This is not the first time McDonald's coffee inspired a lawsuit.
Francisco Rafael Borbolla said in the lawsuit that restaurant workers gave him a cup of coffee without properly securing the lid when he ordered breakfast at the Main Street eatery in August 2011.
Borbolla's attorney, Rosemarie Arnold, said the coffee spilled all over Borbolla's lap as he sat down at a table, causing him "horrendous" second-degree burns that required a trip to the emergency room at the Hackensack University Medical Center.
Arnold insisted on Monday that Borbolla's lawsuit is not frivolous.
"This is a serious case involving lack of due care on the part of McDonald's," she said. "If the naysayers saw the burns on my client's genitals, they would be speechless."
Again, let's not confuse the issue of severe burns with liability. Simply because the coffee in question may have caused injuries, it does not mean that McDonald's is liable. That is a mistake that many have made in discussing the infamous Stella Liebeck McDonald's hot coffee case. We've not yet read the complaint, but if the news report is accurate, then the Plaintiff, Mr. Borbolla, took the cup of coffee from a McDonald's employee, presumably from the front counter of the restaurant, made his way to his seat, and then spilled the hot beverage on himself as he proceeded to sit down at a table. The liability case will focus extensively on that brief journey.
We'll keep you posted on this one. Our favorite part of the article is the following sentence, which also serves as the tagline to the AP file photograph of a McDonald's logo: "This is not the first time McDonald's coffee inspired a lawsuit."

The idea is simple: an amazing live band plays all your favourite show tunes with giant video lyrics, where the audience are the stars of the show, guided by lyrics projected onto a giant screen. The result is a euphoric celebration of some of the best songs ever written.
But Massaoke is not about the band and it's not about the stars on stage. The most important thing about Massaoke is the crowd. Do you remember singing along to your favourite records when you first fell in love with music, reading the lyrics from an album sleeve? Massaoke has the same pure principal at heart, only you are not alone in your bedroom, singing into a hair brush, you are in a room full of bouncing, music-loving kindred spirits all singing as one.
These guys know how to get a crowd going like no one else. Thousands have sung along with them every Friday night at The Scoop on London's Southbank for the last two summers, and euphoric shows at festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude and the Edinburgh Fringe have established Massaoke as one of the most exhilarating live acts in the UK.
"We have always believed in the power of music and we want to channel that to do good. Even if it's simply helping you forget your troubles for a few hours or picking you up after a crap week at work. The biggest kick we get, is seeing the smiling faces in the audience as everyone gets completely lost in the moment. It really is the best feeling ever."
So there you have it ... If you're after a sing-a-long join the Massaoke revolution this November at Bonded Warehouse!

The Reality of the Struggle
What I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.
–Romans 7:15
In many ways, the New Testament laws are greater than the Old Testament laws. Some people think that the Old Testament Law was hard and the New Testament standard is easy. But the opposite is true. In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus said, referring to the Old Testament Law, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery'; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Which standard is harder to keep: the Old Testament standard or Jesus' standard? Jesus also said, "You have heard that the ancients were told, 'You shall not commit murder' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court" (5:21-22). Which is harder to keep: the prohibition against murder or the prohibition against anger? Grace does not release us from any law; it places us under a new law. In Romans 7:15, Paul talked about the struggle we have as Christians, not with the Old Testament Law but with God's requirements for us today.
Paul talked about the reality of the struggle with God's standard. In Romans 7:15-19, Paul described his own struggle with sin: "I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can't. I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway" (NLT). Can you identify with that? Every time I read that passage, I feel as if Paul has sneaked a peek at my spiritual journal because that is exactly how I feel. I bet that is how you sometimes feel too.
Perhaps you say to yourself in a moment of recommitment, "I am going to end this relationship that I know is displeasing to the Lord," yet soon you find yourself deeper into it than ever. Or you say, "God, I am going to read the Bible and pray every day." That resolve lasts a week–or perhaps only a few days. Maybe you say, "God, I am going to get a handle on my temper," but within an hour an atomic explosion of anger comes out of your mouth. We have all been there.
We have a desire to do what is right, but we just can't do it. We find ourselves doing wrong. There is a battle between what we know God wants and what a part of us still wants to do. That is why we need God's help to find the victory.

This past week I (Seth) have had the joyous privilege of hanging out with Matt, David, and the Daniels (whom I will refer to as "the dudes"). It's been a blast showing them some of the sites in Fes, and also making a memorable trip to the Sahara with them. I will recall some of the good times we had from my point of view.
About 4:30 Wednesday afternoon, I answered the phone to the familiar sound of Matt's voice and was informed that they were driving into Fes. I met them at McDonalds, the designated rendezvous point, and directed them to our house. After a rigorous game of Ultimate Frisbee, we spent the evening catching up on the details of their trip, swapping stories, and planning out their schedule for their week in Morocco.
Friday morning, my dad, Jesse, the dudes, and I set off for the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. It was a scorching day to be outside as demonstrated by the distinct sunburn lines displayed on Dan Shenk's arms and neck by the end of the day. Despite the heat, we had an enjoyable time wandering through and clambering over the heaps of rock and marble. We also had the privilege of running into a professor of archeology at Oxford who was a bottomless pit of information about the ruins and the stories and traditions behind them. After leaving Volubilis we stopped in a small town on the way back to Fes where we ate a scrumptious lunch of sardine sandwiches and pop. We then returned home where we spread out to various couches and beds where we rested our tired bodies.
At 8:00 on Saturday morning Matt and Dan Shenk joined Joel and I and some other Fessie men in our weekly game of basketball. We had some intense games featuring old farts vs. young bucks until the beating sun stole all our energy and we were forced to retire to our house for a filling omelet meal.
On Sunday, which happened to be Father's Day, we attended the International Church of Fes. Afterwards we drove up a mountain just outside of Fes, where we enjoyed a delicious Father's Day picnic lunch. Following the picnic, we returned to the house and spent the remainder of the afternoon lounging around and relaxing. That evening we took a walk along Hassan II, the name of the main street in Fes and also of the previous king of Morocco. There was a fun night atmosphere along the street which was packed with hundreds of people milling around and enjoying the cool night air. We enjoyed watching the two large fountains at either end of Hassan II, as well as playing with a bouncy blue balloon bought by my dad from a street vendor. After several hours of strolling along the street we returned home to get a good night of rest for the looming adventures of the next day.
We awoke on Monday morning, and after eating breakfast, all five of us piled into the dudes' beast of a car and cavorted off towards the Sahara and the adventures it held. We made stellar time on our trip, making only a couple bathroom stops and also a quick dip in a gorgeous lake flanked by mountains. After 6 or 7 hours of driving, we arrived at the Casbah Tizimi Hotel where we left the car for the remainder of the trip out to the desert. We were picked up at the hotel by a 4X4 SUV which was our mode of transport through the rather rough terrain following the hotel. The 4X4 took us out to an Auberge (inn) that sits right on the edge of the swirling mass of sand dunes that is the desert. After a hot afternoon in the car we were all ready to cool off, so we jumped into the sparkling pool at the Auberge and splashed around to our heart's content.
At six o'clock we were notified that our camels were ready for us, so we toweled off and hopped on our camels for the ride out the encampment where we stayed the night. A little while into the 1 ½ hour trek the wind began to pick up, and soon Matt and I were forced to put our shirts back on because of the vicious sand stinging our bare backs. We eventually reached the campsite, a large circle of cloth tents, in one piece and were escorted to a Berber tent where we were protected from the harsh weather and could sit around and relax while our supper was being prepared. In about an hour, our supper of vegetables and meat was served to us much to the delight of our hungry stomachs. After letting our food and the weather settle, Matt and I decided to try sand boarding using snowboards provided by the camp. We climbed partway up a dune, and started boarding down, but soon discovered that the boards were definitely only for use on snow, judging by the very un-exhilarating speeds at which we traveled down the dune. Tired out by our long day of driving and camel riding, we soon headed for bed. All of us, with the exception of Dan Ziegler, decided to spend to take our bed mats outside of the tent and sleep under the stars (all three that were visible that night) in the cool night air. After being briefly interrupted by a small bout of rain, we dozed off and slept peacefully through the night.
The next morning we were woken up at 6:30 and served a simple breakfast, and then it was back on the camel's backs. We plodded back to the Auberge in beautiful weather, a contrast to the previous evening's sandstorm. Matt and I enjoyed trying various stunts on the backs of our camels, including standing up in the saddle without any hands, and somehow managing to not fall off. After arriving back at the Auberge, we all jumped in the pool and then sat in or around the pool waiting for our ride back to the hotel where the car was waiting. At 11 o'clock our ride arrived, and we returned to the hotel, picked up the car, and were on our way back to Fes. We had a fairly uneventful ride home and made good time. We went straight to the Medina upon our arrival in Fes, where the dudes made some final purchases, and we enjoyed chatting with some of the vendors and Medina denizens. Following the Medina, we hit up a DVD store where nearly any DVD is available for 10 Dirhams ($1.24). We then returned home where we ate a late supper and sat around talking for the rest of the evening.

This week I attended a presentation on heart rate or pulse based training. The presentation was held by a guy from Polar but the information was on a general level and applies even if you as I own a Garmin watch, or any other brand for that matter 🙂 Together with some real life examples I will try to summarize the presentation in this post. For calculations I will use me as an example to get some realistic numbers for the formulas.
So first of all, why do puls based training?
The benefits of puls based training are many and some of them are listed below. Depending on the goals you have with your training some are more important than others.
- It strengthens the heart
- Increases the number or blood vessles
- Lowers blood pressure
- Increased ability to absorb oxygen
- Increased fat burn
- More mitochondria
- Better overall health values
- Increased traning effect
- Increased training motivation
The Vo2Max is the maximum volume of oxygen a person can consume during physical exercise and can be seen as a measure of a persons aerobic physical fitness. I will get back to this measure later in this post. First let's look at some key numbers when it comes to heart rate traning. Keep in mind that all these values are individual, and you must use values specific to you.
"Most runners spend way too much time in zone 4 and 5. Instead focus on low intensity training and spend about 80% in zone 2 and 3."
Maximum Heart Rate: This is the maximum number of beats ber minute your heart can accomplish. Some facts about heart rate:
- HR gets lower with age
- It does not say anything about physical fitness
- Some people are genetically predisposed to have higher, or lower HR
The heart rate is a very important number to know to to heart rate based traning. There are a number of different methods to calculate or retrieve your MaxHR. Most commonly know is the formula know as:
- 220 – age (for untraining men)
- 226 – age (for untrained woman)
However, for men and women in better physical shape a better estimate can be calculated as:
- 210 – (0.5 * age) (for trained men)
- 215 – (0.5 * age) (for trained women)
For me (as a fairly trained man) this would meen: 210-(0.5 * 37) = 191.5 as maximum heartrate.
Note that this is an estimate! As you will see later, this is not a true value, but it can be used to get an idea of your maximum heart rate is.
To get a better estimate of the HRmax you can do a HRmax-test. This is a test performed under controlled conditions usually on a threadmill or on a bike. I did a test like this a while ago, and I can tell you that it is really tough! 🙂 The speed of the threadmill was increased every 4 minutes untill I reached my lactate threshold (this is where you start building up lactic acid) than the speed was kept contant and the angle of the threadmill was instead gradually increased untill I could not make it anymore. At this point the lower parts of my arms had started to go numb and I felt like I could not keep myself standing up anymore. My heart rate at this point was 195 bpm.
Resting Heart Rate: This is the lowest rate at which your heart ever beats at. Can easisest be measured early in the morning before getting up from the bed.
- 70-80 bpm (Untrained persons)
- 40-50 bpm (Elite athletes)
Deviation in resting heart can can be caused by a number of different factors such as sleeping deprivation, stress, eating habits, high coffein intake, dehydration and illness such as infections in the body. If the deviation of the resting heart is large (10 bpm or more) you should really consider ship training or do something very low intense.
Hear Rate Zones: When you know your HRmax and your HRrest you can calculate your heart rate zones. It's first when you know what theses zones look like you can start the actual heart rate based traning.
<Include graph of hear rate zones>
- Max 90-100% – Develops VO2Max and maximum speed (Maximum effort)
- Hard 80-90% – Increases performance for shorter sessions (Hardcore training)
- Average 70-80% – Improves aerobic fitness (Cardio training / Endurance)
- Light 60-70% – Improves endurance and fat burning (Fitness / Fat burn)
- Very Light 50-60% – Helps with recovery (Maintenance / Warm up)
The zones above can be used as a good starting point to get an idea of what your zones look like. Note that the values are calculated from the HRmax. So for me (with HRmax 195 bpm) this would be:
As a person gets in better physical shape their hearts becomes better and more efficient at pumping blood around the body and the resting heart rte gets lower. The "The Karvonen Formula" can be used to take this into account and adjust the zones accordingly. This formula can be used for men with Vo2max over 50 and woman for Vo2max over 40.
(HRmax – HRrest) x (%) + HRrest
Taking me as an example, Vo2max = 53 and HRmax = 195, HRrest = 43 and 70% of HRmax gives:
(195 – 43) x (0.7) + 43 = 149
With my heart rate zones adjusted according to the Karvonen formula I get:
Variations in Heart Rate:
Depending on internal and external conditions your heart rate might vary. The following can be good to keep in mind if you notice variations in heart rate:
- Slow increase in pulse might be due to over training of tiredness
- Unusual increase in pulse could be cause by dehydration
- A unusually pulse increase could also be a sign that you have hit the wall
External factors that can leed to pulse variations are:
- Very warm wheather can leed to increased pulse
- Exercise on high altitude can leed to increased pulse
- Pregnancy, higer resting pulse and work puls
- Long endured stress can also leed to increaded resting heart rate
Lactate threshold:
"A useful measure for deciding execise intensity for training and racing in endurance sports."(Ref Wikipedia) This is the point where the lactic acid begins to exponentially increase. The threshold can be seen as a sports dependent exercise intensity at which the concentration of lactic acid very rapidly starts building up since the body now longer can keep up and remove it from the blood. Therefore, knowing your lactate threshold (LT) and keeping the intensity of your excersie on, or below this threshold is crucial for long endurance, like a marathon, long triathlon or any other endurance sport.
Usually this threshold is somewhere around 70-85% of your maximum heart rate. For some elite athletes in endurance sports this threshold can be as high as 85-95%. The higher this threshold equals more fit. To imporove the LT threshold, training on or just below the threshold is required. Some heart rate watches can give rough estimates of the threshold but for accurate values, tests must be made at a cliniques/sport labs that can measure the lactic acis threshold during increasing exercise intensity.
As an example my values can be seen in the diagram below. I did these tests in the end of 2015 and Idrottslabbet in Linköping, Sweden.
The diagram above show my session where I measured my lactate threshold. During the session I was running on a threadmill and the speed was increased each 4 minute. After each 4 minute my lactate was measured (see the blue dots in the blue line) and my heart rate (red dots on the red line). At each point I was also asked about my rate of perceived exertion (RPE) according to the Borg scale.
|Heart Rate [bpm]
|Lak [mmol/l]
The acctual values that was measured can be seen in the table above.
The results of the threshold test is summarized in the table below.
|2 mmol/l
|4 mmol/l
|6 mmol/l
|Heart Rate
|% of Max
In this table the most interesting column is LT where we can read that I am just on my threshold when I'm running at 13.2 km/h (4:31 min/km). My heart rate is at that point 167 bpm. If I go above this threshold I will quickly build up lactate since my body no longer is can remove it from the blood in the same rate at which it is build up. So for longer runs I should stay below this threshold.
Different Training Scenarios
- Raising anaerobic threshold
- Raising lactate threshold
- Raising aerobic threshold
To be continued…

What are my Thousand Oaks California pool demolition options?
Your options for pool demolition include exhumation removal and abandonment removal. With an exhumation removal, we remove the entire pool. With an abandonment removal, we remove half of the pool. Abandonment is a cost-effective solution, but before making your final decision, it's best to consider your plans for this area. Speak with one of our experts for advice when you're not sure.
What if my pool still has water in it?
We'll drain the water from the pool. This is not an issue.
What do you use to fill in the open space?
We use a mixture of dirt and rocks. Great care is taken when filling in the open space. We want to avoid any "settling" of the ground.
What happens to all of the left-over concrete?
It gets recycled!
Will my property be left a mess?
Not at all; our team works hard to clean-up following the successful removal of a pool.
Can you plant grass in the open space?
Yes, at an additional charge, we do have the ability to plant grass in the area upon request. This is a favorite service for homeowners with limited time.

Taya Kyle went head-to-head with President Barack Obama about gun control during an event at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, on Thursday, January 7.
Kyle, 41, is the widow of the sniper Chris Kyle portrayed by Bradley Cooper in the 2014 blockbuster, Oscar-nominated drama American Sniper. The late Navy SEAL was shot and killed by a war vet with PTSD in February 2013. On Thursday, Taya told POTUS, 54, that gun control will not stop mass shootings.
"[What] we have to recognize is we cannot outlaw murder, because the people who are murdering are breaking the law, but they also don't have the moral code that we have," she said, via CNN. "They can do the same amount of damage with a pipe bomb. The problem is that they want to murder. We want to think we can make a law and people will follow it, but by the very nature of their crime, they are not following it."
The mom of two also stated that crime has actually gone down in the past 20 years and she hopes that the country will "value freedom" to bear arms.
Obama, who fielded comments and questions from many others, replied that the National Rifle Association is to blame for leading citizens to believe that the government wants to take away all firearms. He also declared that if his motive was to ban guns, then he would have done so earlier in his presidency.
"If you look at where the areas are with the highest gun ownership, those are the places that the crime hasn't dropped down that much," he told Taya. "The way it is described is that we are trying to take away everybody's guns. Our position is consistently mischaracterized…. If you listen to the rhetoric, it is so over-the-top, it is so overheated."
In addition, Obama later told the crowd that he has never owned a gun and wants Congress to create a better background check that will keep the country safer.
"All of us can agree that it makes sense to do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of people who would do others harm, or themselves harm," he said at the time. "The fact that the system doesn't catch every single person has to be weighed against the fact that we might be able to save a whole bunch of families from the grief that some of the people in this audience have had to go through."

A workshop agenda is helpful simply because workshops themselves are supposed to be helpful. An agenda is what will guide the event. The agenda is a timetable of activities that the host plans to cover in the workshop. In an organizational setting, a workshop will look like a team meeting, and the workshop agenda acts to disseminate the plan for this meeting.
A well-planned agenda equals a well-planned workshop. So much so that it is worth having a workshop in agenda writing. In a pinch, these workshop agenda examples should show you how it's done.
Any agenda, be it a business agenda or a workshop agenda, is an itinerary coupled with a fixed time frame of the event. This helps you to stay on schedule while providing an overview of what you intend to accomplish within that span of time.
Often in an event or meeting, it is common to have some delay or to overreach the time expected. We tend to let this slide because meetings will be meetings. When it comes to workshops, you really do need to put your foot down.
Workshops are meant to accomplish something concrete by the end (as should all meetings, really), and so a strict time allotment per activity must be observed. These free agenda examples can help you accomplish that if you take the time to prepare one that works.
You will first need to identify the activities you will have in the event. To do this, put yourself in the attendee's shoes.
You will need to define your goal and objectives, as well as identify interesting activities and a good location. It is important that people gain practical knowledge from your workshop, and so your agenda should prioritize on what they will be learning. In a way, it will be a learning agenda.

This is the first freelance article I wrote about 5 years ago, back when the Yahoo! Contributor Network was Associated Content and before I started writing for eHow. This was also before I started blogging full time and only wrote a few posts a year randomly. Today is the last day that eHow will be publishing my articles, and will be taking them down soon. The have gone through many changes in recently and decided that they will no longer be paying writers residual income for articles. eHow was one of my biggest freelance payments that I got every month, and I am going to miss those payments. A lot. Now I need to find a way to make up for that lost income. Which I will figure out soon enough I suppose, but still, I am pretty bummed about lost income. eHow has offered decent money for my articles, but they are published on several other sites and on this blog, so I am keeping the rights to my articles and saying goodbye to what was at one time my favorite freelance "job".
I wrote Conquering The Learning Curve to push myself out of my shy shell and actually publish something. It has always been one of my favorite pieces and it is something that I read every once in awhile when I need a boost, when I am creatively stuck, when I need to see into my past to move forward with my future.
Do you ever feel like "The Learning Curve" is most of the battle when it comes to learning something new? I love to write, but I have never thought much about becoming a Freelance Writer. For months now I have been writing articles in my head meaning to get them typed and saved on my computer. Every day I think to myself, I should just sit down and do it. Then I think what if I take the time to do it and submit it and it is rejected? I can't figure out if I am more nervous about being rejected or wasting my time. As a Stay At Home Mom to three young boys I think, Gosh I just don't have time to do this, but at the same time I think, I need to make some more money for them. So now here I am trying to earn a few extra bucks to help support my family. So I finally sit down to start typing. Wow, where did all of those articles that have been floating around in my head go? I suddenly have Writers Block…and I am not even a writer. I am a Jeweler; I have a Home Based business making jewelry so that I can stay home with my kids and still make money.
I love what I do, I have been making jewelry for almost 30 years. Sometimes though I get into a rut, I sit in front of my beads and can't come up with something nice. Just like my articles I have all of these beautiful designs floating in my head waiting to come out. The thing is, is that while I can picture the designs in my head, I am not quite certain how to turn them into jewelry. And that is where I slow down, it's the dreaded Learning Curve. To me the Learning Curve is the time that it takes to learn to do some thing well enough that I feel comfortable doing in with ease. Often instead of figuring something new out I will just go back to making something that I know will sell, something that will help to put food on the table instead of figuring out how to make something new. I have this super neat, somewhat expensive tool to help make very nice wire wrapped chain links that sat in my tool drawer for over 2 ½ years before I took the time to actually learn how to use it. Now I love it, it is one of my favorite tools, it helps to make great perfectly spaced, perfectly shaped wire wrapped chains. Now I look back and think to myself, how could I have gone so long without learning how to use this tool. I am about 99% self taught jeweler. I had a few friends who have completely different styles spend a few minutes showing me how they do their work. That is about it for my outside lessons in learning what I do. Now if I get an idea I just buy the supplies and do it. Of course the times when ideas stay inside my head screaming to get out are more than frustrating, but I have enough knowledge to own my own business and keep on going.
One of the more recent struggles I have had with the Learn Curve has been my obsession with Fused Glass. It involves melting glass in Kiln. I love the way it looks and feels. So my obsession prompted my parents to offer to buy it for me as a gift. It was very generous. My mother is a huge fan of my jewelry and is very eager to get some jewelry made of Fused Glass. She also knows that she will get any jewelry that she wants for years to come. Once again the Learning Curve has taken over my desire to fire up my Kiln…it has been almost a year. When I was in college I took some pottery classes, so I have a basic understanding of a Kiln and how it works. On the other hand I have never taken any classes on Fusing Glass. I have bought and read (5 times over) several how to books on Glass Fusing. I have also bought the glass…a lot of it actually, several molds, the glass separator that I need to pre-treat the molds and the gloves I need to use when I open the Kiln. I have glass cutters, pliers to break the glass and a glass cutting mat. I just do not have the courage to actually defeat the Learning Curve. I think, what if I do something wrong and the molds are ruined. What if I really screw up and the Kiln is ruined. Logically I know that I probably will not ruin anything, things might not turn out right the first time, but in the end everything will be just fine. I know that I can take a class & learn how to do all of this so that when I get home I can feel secure with my knowledge that everything will be just fine. With three young kids and a very tight budget I don't see myself taking classes anytime soon.
So here I am trying to get a tight hold on the monstrous Learning Curve that has become a bit of a hindrance from time to time. If I write a few articles and get published will that help me conquer my fear of the Learning Curve. Is it my fear of failure that keeps me from doing things that I know deep down I am good at. I know that practice makes perfect. I know that you can't succeed if you don't try. I also know that there are a lot of things that I have tried and failed miserably but was able to keep on going. There is something about putting my creative self on the line that really stops me in my tracks. Like what if all of those tens of thousands of dollars I put into my degree in Art were for nothing and I am in fact not an Artist, but just some woman who likes to make jewelry. What if it is just an over indulged hobby and not a career. What if my need to add Freelance Writer to my Stay At Home Mom resume is just a way to prove that while I spend my days with my children playing Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean or Thomas the Tank Engine I still have something important to say that other adults might find interesting. Am I just a big kid wasting my day away with my kids or am a still an educated woman who happens to have three beautiful kids. Then I think of course the Learning Curve is not that bad, it does not have to be this obstacle to overcome when learning something new. It is just a small part of the winding path of life to traverse to get from not knowing how to do something to actually knowing how to do it. Along the way down my path I plant the seeds that become the forest of my life. With all of the things I have learned in my 36 years, the forest along my path is pretty amazing. I am still terrified to fire up my Kiln, now that I have written my first ever article in hopes of being published I see that the Learning Curve isn't so bad, but just a curve in the road.

A headband wig is a type of wig that is made with a piece of material resembling a headband. The wig can be slid around the head and put into place using the headband rather than clips or other fasteners. Headband wigs can come in as many styles as standard wigs do, but their differences lie in the number of insert combs, headband softness, and the ability of the headband to be detached, as well as headband width.
One of the most characteristic features of a headband wig is its underside. When flipped over, the viewer will immediately draw similarities between a cap and a headband wig. An area underneath the wig is formed to surround the head, much like a cap. The people who use headband wigs are usually those who simply want to add a little length, volume, or body to their hair without having to do the work of maintaining a standard wig.
Even though headband wigs are designed to cover the head like a cap, a wig user is not precluded from combining her own hair to her hairstyle. For example, a headband wig can be placed on the head, and a wig owner can pull her bangs out to give the wig extra style. This technique can also make the wig appear more real.
While the general construction of a headband wig is very similar across brands, there can also be differences. Those who are shopping for wigs may find that wigs of the headband variety differ in the number of insert combs that they have and the softness and width of the headbands themselves. Personal preference comes into play when shopping for headband wigs, but there are also some tips that can be kept in mind when choosing headband types. For example, detachable headbands can be great for those who find headbands uncomfortable or who would rather use clips to secure their wigs into place.
Potential wig owners may have to decide how wide and soft they want their headband to be to maximize their comfort when wearing their wig for long periods of time. One way that consumers can do this is to simply try the wig on and walk around with it for an extended period of time, so that the long-term feel of it can become apparent. For ultimate headband softness, potential wig owners should invest in elastic headbands. Elastic headbands can better conform to the specific contours of the a person's head. They can also provide secure attachment to the head without the unnecessary itching that can come with hard headbands.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

An Old Boeing 737 Engine Cowling is Reborn...As a Chair
They say one person's trash is another person's treasure, and when it comes to something like this, well… they would be absolutely right. At one point in time, this hulking shape was the front cowling of a Boeing 737 engine. As with many aging aircraft it was eventually retired from duty, but its life wasn't over. One British company saved the Boeing cowling, outfitted it with some soft dark leather, and now instead of housing a turbofan engine, it can house you! It's a jaw-dropping lounge chair. That British company in question is Fallen Furniture, located in the English town of Bath. The outfit uses reclaimed aircraft parts from military and civilian planes alike to create modern furniture, blending industrial style and sustainable design. RELATED: The 'Stratolaunch' Will Soon Be the Biggest Plane in the World
RELATED: You've Never Seen Fighter Jet Video Quite Like this Before
It is however quite a large chair—measuring six and a half feet tall, and equally as wide and deep. Fallen Furniture says it can rotate a full 360 degrees on its aluminum base. There's certainly no ignoring it either. The cowling's metallic body has been polished to a mirror-like finish.
While it would look perfect in the corner of any upscale industrial café or design studio, it also would make a fine addition to the Bond villain lairs of the world.
It isn't the only piece of recycled aircraft-turned-furniture that the company has produced either. Fallen Furniture has also turned fuselage sections into gorgeous wall clocks, wheels and escape hatches into coffee tables, wing sections into desk lamps, and the company even turned an ex-Royal Air Force dummy cluster bomb into a drinks cabinet. Talk about a conversation piece.

I hope my first post resonated with more than a few of you and brought you back for more. Moving forward, I intend to share my journey from high school, junior college, and NCAA athlete to a career in greater detail. However, I'd first like to share my transition from student-athlete to student.
Over the past few weeks, I have begun to acclimate to life after college baseball. Going into the new school year, I was nervous about the fact that I wouldn't be around my teammates anymore, wouldn't have a group of friends, and that I simply would hate being away at school without baseball. However, since I arrived on Liberty's campus in late August, my experience has been the exact opposite. School without baseball is great!
I never realized how big the time commitment of a college sport really is. Over the course of a week I would be at school from around 9 am to around 7 pm, my day filled with class, practice, weights and conditioning, meetings, and a whole lot of sitting around waiting for the aforementioned to start. Many times, these events soured my love for the game, but the game itself always seemed to erase those negative thoughts. I played the game because I still loved it. When you're pigeonholed into activities on the field or in the weight room that don't produce results, or when you have to wait around for a practice or meeting to start, there is an opportunity cost associated with that time burn which could be spent doing much more productive activities. Only in hindsight has this become clear to me. I guess until recently, I never realized, or I flat out denied, just how frustrating this process can be.
Without having to attend team mandated practices, study halls, and whatever else is on the agenda, I have found and feel anew sense of freedom. I can now lift weights the way I want, put more time into my academics (much easier now that I'm not exhausted from a full day's worth of class and baseball), and pursue other opportunities (I think most non-athletes call this "having a life"). So far, I've been able to put time and effort into my Voice of the Box internship (by writing this blog), vastly improve my résumé (I strongly recommend you go to your school's career center if it has one), attend various clubs centered around my degree and what I'd like to do in the future, and captain an intramural flag football team.
Over the past few weeks, I've quickly come to the realization that life is not all about a sport. You need to have a back up plan, you need to make time for other things even if it's only a small amount of time, and you need to find balance. Even if you are a phenom, everyone's career comes to an end at a fairly young age. What are you going to do after sports? 19, not 29, is the age to plan for this.
While I still have a long way to go to get where I want to be, taking steps in the right direction is definitely an invigorating feeling. So far, life without baseball has been a success, but staying motivated to continue bettering myself will be an ongoing process. In my next few posts, I plan on sharing some lessons learned through my athletic career.
Stay tuned!

I really haven't been able to keep up with the blog since 2014, right around the time I jumped on this roller coaster of motherhood. It's been a wild three years. Now with two toddlers (sleeping through the night), the … Continue reading

Two fundamental shifts are currently evident in design. Firstly, a growing call to integrate research and praxis is evident. Secondly, a call to move fashion design praxis to more relevant and value-adding environmental sustainable and user-centred design approaches is emerging. As such, fashion education should align itself to such shifts.
In this paper, I respond to the sub-question about the extent to which design educators can incorporate our context and knowledge of Africa into our design disciplines. I provide an example of a socially-engaged design project from a fashion department at a South African University of Technology (UoT) in which second-year fashion students participated. I argue that this project can be framed as an example of critical citizenship education as forwarded by Johnson and Morris (2010). I also grapple with how a diverse student body can be prepared for a design project that perceives the transformation of society as an end.
South African universities are exploring strategies to decolonise higher education in response to student's calls. This manuscript investigates research sleeping dogs in fashion design departments of South African universities. Research sleeping dogs are defined as academic staff who do not have a doctorate qualification, resulting in their inability to fully perform research related activities. Through 2015 data sets sourced from CHET (2017) and Mbatha & Mastamet-Mason (n/d), a benchmark was done of the academic qualifications of staff in fashion design departments of South African universities against national academic qualifications of staff.
Worldwide, a close connection is demonstrated between the clothes worn by people and their cultural or political expression. The subject covering the history of costume taught in many fashion schools or institutions, focuses primarily on Western ideologies with little to no African concepts addressed. This paper explores the availability of a rich history of African costume and textiles that have remained indigenous to many people in most parts of Africa. Some of the examples include the dressing styles of the Maasai of East Africa, Adire textile influences of the Yoruba from West Africa and the Himba and Ndebele from Southern Africa.
At undergraduate level, research design and methodology was never a formalised part of the fashion education curriculum. Furthermore, fashion-related modules tend to comprise content predominantly of a Western nature: for example, the 'history of fashion' is often presented from a European perspective. In comparison to the vast, multi-disciplinary discourse relating to Western fashion, literature on African fashion is limited, which poses challenges for teaching, learning and curriculum transformation. The call for decolonisation has established a need to narrow this gap.
Whilst training materials can be effective tools for addressing skills training needs, inherently colonised approaches undermine their anticipated benefit and use. Developers of skills training materials are customarily highly trained professionals, academics and practitioners who are often culturally and otherwise separated from the population for which their materials are intended. As a result, they may overestimate their end-users' abilities to read and understand textual information effectively.
Visual literacy is a core competency required to express and reinforce cultural identity through clothing in the realm of fashion, and is therefore important within the context of decolonising fashion design education. Traditionally, curricula focused on the Euro-centric concept of fashion and accordingly, teaching methods and design products expected from students were mostly applicable within this context. Nevertheless, in South Africa, due to political and educational reform, the demographics of students in fashion design programs in Universities have changed radically over the past two decades to include diverse African and South African cultures.
Empowerment incubation is a strategy to address unemployment in South Africa. It was determined during 2013 that 50% of jobs were lost in the South African Clothing and Textile Industry since 2003. Contrariwise, this situation has presented opportunities for prevailing local fashion design businesses to collaborate on government funded initiatives that promote transformation and empowerment linked to entrepreneurial opportunities.
Ethics and accountability in design appear to have increased momentum as individuals and corporations are increasingly conscious of the detrimental implications of immoral business practices. The accountability and responsibility of both individuals and organisations are significant to business practice. This has become increasingly apparent due to the role business must play if humanity and the environment are to thrive in future. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is mounting in emphasis within corporations, as identified through various bodies of research. This paper positions ethics and accountability in design practice from the lens of CSR initiatives.
The aim of this paper is to examine the perception and validity of commercial design protection in the South African Jewellery Industry and to convey the general consensus regarding the registration of commercial designs. This exploratory study employs quantitative research and information was collated through a questionnaire that was distributed by the Jewellery Council of South Africa. The questionnaire gauged, inter alia, whether South African jewellers are aware of the Designs Act, the design registration process and which commercial designs are registered.
The multifaceted and complex phenomena of ethics and accountability have relevance for the current discourse of fashion design. This is evident in the choice of materials used, the conditions under which clothing is produced, as well as how designers think about and implement the practice of fashion. Fashion practice has environmental and ethical impacts that ultimately connect human wellbeing and society with sustainable practice.
Repurposing images has become an integral part of the ideation phase of fashion design processes. The use of online images presents both a challenge and an opportunity for fashion design students who use images of others to communicate a design concept through mood boards. The challenge pertains to the authenticity of their design concepts.
Although the authors of this paper acknowledge the importance of referencing of visual material as a strategy to prevent plagiarism, the argument is made that compilation of mood boards with existing images can be further explored, especially with regard to the accountability of an individual in relation to the concept authenticity.
The South African government has invested in skills development ever since 1995 in an effort to facilitate more opportunities for small business and micro business (SMME) owners. Skills development programs offered in South Africa include the development of technical skills like apparel construction. At least 129 active apparel SMMEs were operating in the Pretoria region of Gauteng province during between 2001 and 2013. Most of these SMMEs provide custom‐made apparel for their individual customers and the owner‐designers of these businesses are involved in the design process of the custom‐made apparel, but also play an imperative role in the business functions that directly relate to the design process.
One of the most severe disabilities known to man is the loss of sight, as it deprives the individual of the primary sense used to acquire information and knowledge about their direct environment. Visual impairment limits effective decision making as it severs the individual's essential involvement in society. Such individuals have restricted mobility and are mostly dependent on other people and as a result their ability to make decisions, and develop a sense of purchasing orientation is hampered. This research aimed at exploring the shopping experiences of visually impaired consumers in regards to clothing prices, colour choices, fibre content and the feel or hand of the fabric used for the garment.
During the past decade, all the surveys of women's sizes and measurements show that a significant proportion of the population can be categorised as plus-size. This is not necessarily something new but rather re-confirms that there is a large market for the plus-size garment of all types. Younger women are becoming plus-size, particularly among "pear-shaped" South African women of African origin.
These two factors, combined with the ever growing fashion awareness among the general public, make it necessary to develop a sizing chart for the pear-shaped body characteristics and to re-evaluate the existing sizing chart in relation to this particular body shape and size category.
The Platonic notion of idealism, specifically used in the botanical imagery represented inRenaissance paintings is investigated in this paper and compared to the botanical motifs used in Renaissance enamelled jewellery. The same process of idealisation used in Renaissance painting and enamel jewels is applied to South African botanical motifs, which creates a stylistic departure from the botanical images used during the Renaissance.
Internationally, design incubators have emerged as a result of clustering. These design incubators serve as artist studios, or as design centers providing opportunities for young emerging entrepreneurs to acquire studio workspaces located within a cluster of similar economic activities.
In South Africa, design incubators, particularly fashion design incubators, have emerged in the Johannesburg Fashion District, situated within the central business district of Johannesburg. Research conducted in 2006 established that there were a number of emerging fashion designers located within the Johannesburg Fashion District design incubators. However, interviews conducted in 2012 revealed that the number of fashion designers positioned within these design incubators had declined.
DEFSA promotes relevant research with the focus on design + education through its biennial conferences, to promote professionalism, accountability and ethics in the education of young designers
With your support & active membership, the Design Educators Forum of Southern Africa can positively influence the young designer's formative training and promote all facets of design across Africa

Algiers-based artist Sofiane Zouggar participated in the 2017 edition of the March Project which culminated with an exhibition (30 September—30 December 2017) at Sharjah Art Foundation of the commissioned artworks, together with other participants Al Anood Al Obaidly and Nasir Nasrallah from the United Arab Emirates, Mahmoud Safadi from Lebanon.
Under the mentorship of curator Clelia Coussonnet, Sofiane Zouggar presented Temporary flesh walls' stories, permanent posters and one portrait (2017), a multimedia installation about Izhar, the keeper of the abandoned Khorfakkan Cinema in the Emirate of Sharjah.
Sofiane Zouggar's work focuses on Algerian identity and sociopolitical issues as well as the relationship between the human condition and information. He makes use of different mediums in his work, including photography and video, sound, movement and interactive installations. Since 2013, he has been working on an archive of the 'Dark Decade', the time of the Algerian civil war between 1991 and 2002, by exploring images as traces of memory.

I was watching that programme with my laptop on my knee and saw Lucy picking up the quinces and heard her say "Pears" and thought "No!" and flicked to your blog quickly to confirm what you already knew - those are definitely NOT pears, woman!ReplyDelete
Hello Sue, I also spotted the quinces and was surprised when she said pears! I was disappointed, she missed an opportunity to talk about this wonderful, almost forgotten fruit. And although I love to hear good English on TV (Trinny and Suzannah, Kirstie Allsop, Nigella..OK I mean posh English), for me Lucy's lisp started to grate after about 15 minutes...ReplyDelete
Wonderful program though, enjoyed the various people interviewed especially the potter Mary Wondrausch (my parents bought some of her pottery in the '80s and I remember driving to her house to collect it)!Replies
That must have been fascinating -it was such a wonderful looking house.Delete
I'm in agreement with all your points Isabelle. I thoroughly enjoyed the programme, liked Lucy's coat, would love to visit Mary Wondrausch's house and have put the book on my Christmas list.Delete
Also, seeing Attic24-Lucy's (http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/2012/09/early-frost.html) canal made me think how small the blog world is so often. I came to The Quince Tree from there and am so pleased I did.
Yes I watched it Sue, fascinating. Did you see the programme 'Timeshift' afterwards about bread. I thought of you. I am on the lookout now for a copy of Dorothy Hartley's book.ReplyDelete
Can I ask you do you have an Ocado savings pass? if so is it worth it do you think.
I watched it on iPlayer [and then the bread programme] SO grateful that you have confirmed my feelings about the pears/quinces!ReplyDelete
It was extremely interesting though to find out more about this remarkable lady [Dorothy not the Lisping Lucy]
Mary-The-Potter was marvellous wasn't she?
my current fave breakfast is porridge sprinkled with cinnamon sugar
I loved the documentary. The quince/pear scene was odd though. When I replayed it, at about 22.07, there's a scene of quinces being put into a basket. However, at 22.36 she makes reference to pears, and the fruit switches to pears as if by magic.She points to some hanging from a tree and holds one up to a camera. I suspect a production error. The book seems to have been wiped off the British Isles - even Amazon is sold out. It's being reprinted which will take a while. I would love to know if that badly edited copy you first owned was the 2009 Piatkus edition (now being reprinted) If so, I'm tempted to trawl book sales in search of a better quality hardback. Thanks for the heads up on this wonderful program.ReplyDelete
Sue, I am delighted to report that my marvelous library's stacks have indeed provided me with Food in England...and I don't have to return it until early December!ReplyDelete
I was up very late last night watching our big election results and slept later than usual this morning...then celebrated with my own version of oatmeal, made with a mix of water and milk, with a bit of salt, a little light brown sugar and a mixture of raisins, cranberries and blueberries. Yummmmy!
Best wishes.
Missed this so must try and get it back on iPlayer before it expires! Went over to the blog and immediately recognized Clifton Puffs from my Bristol childhood - don't think we called them that - must consult Brother to see if he remembers! Very expensive copies of Food in England on ebay! We used to have the recreating medieval costume one but it seems to have disappeared. The Tewkesbury saucer batters sound worth a try. My mother used to make brawn - I can still remember the smell of the pig's head boiling. It wasn't too bad to eat actually, but we were used to it I suppose.ReplyDelete
A continuity problem I'm sure. Quinces in the basket but pears on the tree. A lovely programme though and I was then diverted onto her blog when I went looking for her green coat.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I thought they must be quinces too! Thank you for alerting us all to the programme - an absolute delight (even tho' Lucy a bit annoying) - Dorothy was absolutely fascinating & am determined to get the book (s). Did you watch Nigel Slater the other night talking about sweets? He has got to be upthere with the food writers of today.ReplyDelete
Dear SueReplyDelete
We (my husband and I - doesn't that sound regal?) enjoyed your blog post yesterday and the programme last night, despite the pear/quince controversy). As you say, what a fascinating lady Dorothy Hartley was. If she had been from an earlier century, no doubt she would have been a lady explorer, venturing bravely into unknown territories and writing about the people she encountered. Her book is now on our wish list although it look as though we may have to wait to get our hands on a copy. It will be worth it.
Best wishes

Thank you for not buying new tealight holders each year. The people who buy new Christmas decorations each year are insane.ReplyDelete
- Lizzi6:54 pm GMT
I have just watched this on i player - absolutely fascinating - what an insight! I hate that brawn stuff tho', my ma used to make it - we called it potted hough in Scotland. It was disgusting then and didn't look any better now. However, folk had to eat something and there wasn't an option - it was best to get it over with and just eat the b****y stuff!ReplyDelete
I was fascinated by the illustrations, too. Beautifully drawn. I have just ordered the book on Amazon. Paperback I'm afraid, but better than nothing.
I also watched the bread programme last night which was very good, too. I haven't made bread for about a month - we have been away, etc. so I was up this morning and got some dough 'on the rise'. Your recipe of course.
I think all of these programmes - I watched the Victorian Farm and the Wartime Farm too - are so good at conveying the social history of the time for ordinary people. Always makes me count my blessings and try not to be wasteful.
Thanks for the heads up about the programme.
- Allegra7:28 pm GMT
I too was jumping up and down in my seat saying "look, she's picking quinces".... And then she starts rabbiting on about pears. And yes, there was a pear in a later shot.ReplyDelete
Quite amusing, really - that the case of mistaken quince identity ends up being the most memorable moment in a programme about a memorable book written by a truly memorable lady. You have a lot to answer for, Quince Lady !
- Granny Dot8:28 pm GMT
Hi Sue,ReplyDelete
Despite being Scottish, and living in chilly, damp Scotland, I've never liked porridge. The dried cranberry and sunflower topped concoction looks tempting though. Is it allowed to make a bowl of porridge plus toppings....then pick the yummy bits out to eat while leaving the not-so-good (porridge) part? You know, the kind of thing we didn't let our children do!
Really enjoying the variety of topics you've blogged about recently. You're an interesting lady.
- jill8:40 pm GMT
yes agree about the quinces ,I shouted at the television "those are Quinces not pears".Also agree about Nigel Slater on TV I dont know why but I found the sweets programme a bit creepy.ReplyDelete
there was definitely a continuity problem with the quinces and pears...ReplyDelete
I wish there had been less brawn making, sheep shearing and more about the very fascinating Dorothy Hartley.
I also loved the little clip at the end of Dorothy digging potatoes.
I thoroughly enjoyed the programme and was so pleased you had recommended it. I'm not sure I've ever really seen a quince but even I thought she had a quince in her hand and not a pear! I would like to get hold of a copy of the book now.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous6:59 am GMT
Thank you so much for your post on Food in England. Without it I would have missed a fascinating programme and what sounds like a wonderful book. Have ordered my copy from Amazon but have got to wait for the reprint! Love your blog, your writing is inspiring. Thank you.ReplyDelete
- Penny Beaumont9:23 am GMT
They were quince, as to the brawn, when my Aunt or my Mum made it the meat was always chopped fine before setting in the jelly. It was always eaten with fresh bread and salad, the English mustard was mixed with vinegar.ReplyDelete
I am so glad you wrote about this programme,it is on tonight again at 7pm.Next to Alison Uttley books and Lark Rise to Candleford,this is my all time favourite book.Having borrowed it from the library first,I bought my hardcover copy in 1974 it is now all stuck up with sellotape to keep it together.I did not see that this programme was on,so would have missed it if not for your post.ReplyDelete
Those photographs are amazing!ReplyDelete
So glad you've confirmed I'm not going dotty. I did see the programme and when it got to the 'pear' moment I sat here thinking 'Did she say pears, those aren't pears!', but there was no one else home to tell me if I'd misheard.ReplyDelete
I also Clarissa Dixon-Wrights breakfast programme yesterday ... I could live on kedgeree and porridge (and peas soup, a few apples, occasional beetroot salad ... maybe I should try it I might lose weight more quickly!)
Sue, where do you buy your sunflower butter?
Wow now that's a firework picture! Brilliant and as a new discoverer of porridge i'm going to nick your recipe! Beautiful crisp pics too, I enjoyed them very much xReplyDelete
I thoroughly enjoyed the programme too. What an inspiring, amazing woman she was!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you blogged about this book a couple of years ago as is the reason I bought it, and it is indeed a fascinating read.
I spotted the quinces too!! Your ears must have been burning on Wed night with everybody referring to Quince lady Sue!
I loved Mary and her house house, It reminded me of Mrs Weasley's 'The Burrow'.
I am imagining you shouting at the screen during the pear/quince scene!! I have just been given my first ever quinces and about to have a little search though your archives for something easy to do with them. xxReplyDelete
Lovely autumn images and great food photography of hearty porridge, just right for this time of the year! I'm into making barley soups at the moment - they're so gorgeous! With a handful of lentils (I use the orange ones) the soup is a complete meal and stuffed with any vegetables I have at home!ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend. It's raining here!
- Anonymous3:38 pm GMT
Yes! Unmistakeably quinces! AnnaCReplyDelete
- Pati from London3:48 pm GMT
Thanks for the tip on the programme, Sue. I am in the middle of essay writing so I hope it is still on the i-player by the time I finish.... Lovely pics as always and your porridge look so yummy that I may give it a go next week. Have a lovely weekend, Pati xReplyDelete
I finally found the time to watch the Dorothy program and thoroughly enjoyed it. The gruesome brawn brought back childhood memories of opening my Grandmother's fridge to find a pig's head sitting there. Of course it was for making brawn, which to this day I've never been able to bring myself to try.ReplyDelete

On 18 December 2016, a suicide attacker detonated an explosive among Yemeni soldiers waiting to collect their salaries near the al-Sulaban army camp in Aden's Khormaksar, killing 52 people and wounding 90.
On the same day, the Islamic State's Aden-Abyan wilaya (province) claimed responsibility for the attack, identifying the perpetrator as militant, Abu Hashem al-Rafdani.
This is the latest in a series of mass-casualty attacks perpetrated by the Islamic State and targeting Yemeni security forces across southern Yemen. It came only eight days after a similar attack on al-Sulaban camp, when an Islamic State suicide bomber targeted a crowd of would-be army recruits, killing 45 of them.

I recently read a book by Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert and successful author. His premise about goals is that you are always chasing goals and never get the satisfaction of achievement because you are always chasing the next goal.
He prefers to put systems in place that when followed, give you the best chance of success and achievement. No chasing your tail, just following the best processes you can design and using your system.
I can see where he is coming from. So many times, accomplishing goals can feel unrewarding. Doing everything "right" and not reaching a goal can happen too.
I've tried to incorporate this idea in to my routine. I still believe that goal setting is a great way to organize my thinking, but I also try to get my systems and planning at such a high level that I don't obsess over results. I'm still refining all this but so far this year it seems to be working.
My productivity is up about 10%. I feel more comfortable when I relax. Having a great structure seems to be working.
Would love to hear what you think. I haven't written for awhile, so forgive me a few spelling errors and typos! Thanks

Do you want a better report or do you want to get #$%#@ done faster?
The digital marketing industry is fond terms like "actionable analytics" or "addressable analytics" – superior tools that give you deeper insights so you can make better decisions and look smart. What's not to like? Good reports are essential, but they are usually a waypoint to what you really care about: using more data to get better results faster than your competition.
DataXu technology represents the next generation of data-driven decisioning, designed to convert data into insight into action continuously. We call this Active Analytics™ because it goes beyond passive reporting, and actually executes millions of decisions on behalf of a user. It can analyze more data and adjust more quickly than even the best "actionable analytics."
Reporting, which is usually what is meant by analytics, is fundamentally a passive activity, even on its best day when the reports are "actionable." They are passive because they are show a reader what happened in the past, and leave the onus of the decision and action on the reader. Good reports are "actionable," and help a reader make a decision more quickly. But the reader still has to make a decision, pick up the phone, renegotiate a deal, push a button, shift budget, etc. to execute the action. This is an old paradigm that fails to thrive in the era of Big Data and micro-second transactions.
Why can't more technology platforms do this? You need an integrated Big Data stack that can not only process and report on your data, but can also transact programmatically. It turns out this is pretty hard to build, but it will define the future of Big Data technology, even well beyond digital marketing.

Building a Successful Marriage is Like being a Good Diplomat
5 comments
Oh, congratulations in advance on six months of marriage - how exciting! I'd imagine there's a lot of truth in your point about negotiating, and possibly compromising too. Have a lovely week!ReplyDelete
Hi Gabrielle. Thank you so much. Have a lovely week yourself!Delete
Congratulations once again on your union and happy six months. Cheers to more successful years to come. Thanks for the educations here. I'm not married, but I guess this sure goes for any relationship where love is in play. Great post always. Keep em coming, sis.ReplyDelete
You're so right. It takes more than love to have a successful marriage - both partners have to work on it, stay aligned on the same path and compromise. Congratulations on 6 months!ReplyDelete
