A couple of months ago I responded to a call for contributors for the website Brilliant Business Moms. As someone with more than a basic knowledge of photography, I could teach people about the automatic modes on their cameras, ie the little pictures on the camera dial. I thought this would be an easy post. All I had to do was explain, as simply as I could, what each mode does and grab a few pictures to demonstrate.
What I thought would be simple, turned into a frustrating project, which caused me to question what I know about photography. While working on this project, I felt the same insecurity I had as a beginning photographer. Quite a few headaches and a whole lot of stress later, the project was completed. This project became an experience that not only taught me more about photography, but more about myself as well.
When I started taking photos in the different automatic modes I was not getting the kind of pictures I wanted. I quickly realized I would need to rely on my knowledge of photography to get the camera to take the kind of pictures I needed it to.
Even then I wasn't happy with the photographs I got. I didn't want to include these photos as part of the blog post because they were not representative of my work. Yet, they were the best I could get within the limits of the automatic shooting modes.
The landscape mode itself caused me the most stress. I could not for the life of me figure out why it wasn't giving me the results I was expecting. In fact the camera was selecting the exact opposite settings I thought it should. I thought maybe I understood the mode wrong. Maybe I'd been shooting landscapes wrong this whole time. Maybe I didn't understand photography as well I thought.
I researched the landscape mode and every thing I found confirmed what I was expecting the camera to do. Nothing I read explained why the camera was selecting the wrong settings. Then I found an article specifically on landscape photography. While reading that article I learned something new about shooting landscapes. Specifically about shooting with the settings I was expecting my camera to choose. And suddenly it all made sense. The camera was making an assumption that works for most landscapes, but not all.
Recently, at a workshop I was teaching, one of the students asked what was the likelihood of photographers selecting the same settings the camera would pick. I smiled and told her none. But at the time I couldn't explain exactly why. Now I can.
The camera's automatic modes have preset limits, so while it automatically selects the settings, it does so within the limits the manufacturer has programmed into each different mode. The camera cannot see the actual scene you are shooting. Nor does it does take artistry, personal taste, or even the actual subject of the photo into consideration. All the camera does is read the light and chose the settings accordingly. The resulting photo will be the best possible photo based on nothing but what the camera thinks is best.
Cameras today are sophisticated and they can take decent photos. Sometimes you can get lucky and get a great picture. But you cannot consistently get beautiful photos from automatic shooting. There is so much more to getting a stunning photograph and doing it consistently . . . on purpose.
This is why photographers don't shoot in automatic modes. We have a specific vision for our photo. We study and learn how to use our cameras so we can get the results we want. And we know how to get those results over and over again.
Going back to automatic shooting taught me new things about photography and reminded me why I learned how to use my camera in the first place. Doing this project also taught me something about myself.
I drove out to the tulip fields one evening to capture the last few images I needed for the blog post. I had a 2 day headache and felt terrible. All I really wanted to do was curl up and watch TV. But I had a rapidly approaching deadline. So I wandered among the tulips, trying to capture photos in the automatic modes. Even though I was frustrated with what I was getting and annoyed I had to be using the auto modes . . . I felt better.
By the time I hopped in my car to drive home, my headache was gone and I had more energy than when I'd left home.
Photography is my therapy. It gives me energy. It's so much a part of who I am that I need to be taking pictures.

Title: When natural disasters strike: managing individual and organisational needs with web-based systems
Authors: Chen-Huei Chou; Fatemeh Mariam Zahedi
Addresses: Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management, School of Business, College of Charleston, 66 George Street, Charleston, SC 29424, USA ' Information Technology Management Area, Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, P.O. Box 742, Milwaukee, WI 53201, USA
Abstract: Increased impacts and frequency of recent natural disasters have given rise to the need for finding new ways to enhance disaster preparedness, planning and management. Web-based information systems have demonstrated the usefulness of websites in recent disasters. However, little is known about the contents of web-based information management for disaster management and the needs and requirements of those who use it. In this paper, we focus on identifying the contents of a web-based disaster management system from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders (victims and aid providers), the needs the system should meet, and crisis behaviours that the system should anticipate. We propose two conceptual models to investigate how these categories of web-design elements could enhance victims' coping mechanisms and reduce impacts of natural disasters on individuals (Model 1) and businesses (Model 2). Extending the theories of task-technology fit and self-efficacy, we propose the concepts of need-web element fit, behaviour-web element fit, and disaster self-efficacy. We formulate an assessment model for dealing with the effectiveness of the proposed design. The contribution of this work is in assisting organisations, managers, and individuals involved in disaster management to create effective and efficient web-based tools that prepare for disasters and deal with the aftermath of disasters once they occur.
Keywords: natural disasters; multi-perspective approach; need-web element fit; behaviour-web element fit; disaster self-efficacy; web-based information systems; individual disaster needs; organisational disaster needs; conceptual modelling; disaster management; emergency management; crisis management; information management; internet; business continuity; emergency response.

With rising prices, many American households are attempting to stretch pennies as often as possible. With the traditional Thanksgiving dinner being served on Thursday, and higher prices blatantly obvious, that stretching is being applied to that meal as well.
One of America's favorite dishes to serve is a simple vegetable dish, Green Bean Casserole. The basic recipe contains three ingredients: green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and French fried onions. For decades, the sole brand of these onions was French's French fried onions. Golden brown, mildly greasy, with substantial sized pieces occurring at random, but few crumbs, they added texture not only to the traditional green bean casserole, but to salads and other dishes as well. Almost everyone liked to sneak a piece or two from the can when assembling that casserole as well.
In recent years, several generic or store brands of French fried onions have appeared in stores. Like most store brands, these were substantially less expensive, and therefore attractive to potential buyers. This year, I too was one of those buyers, and because of schedules, we celebrated our Thanksgiving on the Sunday prior to the actual holiday.
In addition, my daughter had tried numerous knock off brands, so she was equally as curious about the quality of the store brand I had purchased. With the turkey nearly done, the casserole was assembled, and time to open the can of store brand French fried onions arrived.
It was disappointment in the can.
Dark mahogany brown crumbles filled the can to about the two thirds point. (The can was identical in size and weight to the name brand can.) Tasting them proved that while the flavor was the familiar intense onion flavor, the texture was not very appealing, as it was excessively greasy, leaving an unpleasant greasy feel inside the mouth. With a sigh of resignation, I assembled the casserole, certain that the flavor would carry through, and the crumble texture would have little effect on the dish.
Because of the dark nature of the crumbles, I covered the casserole, rather than baking it uncovered as was my habit. I didn't want the excessively dark topping to brown further. However, my efforts didn't help much. It still looked burned, although it didn't taste like burned food with that unpleasant charcoal-ish flavor.
My opinion?
It's simple, use French's French fried onions and don't bother with store brand versions. They lack quality, flavor, texture, and appearance of the original. To economize with the off brand version is a false economy, and if the French's brand is too expensive for your budget, I recommend eliminating the dish rather than substituting a store brand version. The store brands are universally crumbles with too dark of color, excessively greasy, and few pieces more than crumb size.

Massive cost-cutting measures and industry consolidation has put title insurers in a position to profit from a rebound in home sales, with the two largest companies boosting profits substantially during the second quarter.
Fidelity National Financial, which became the nation's largest title insurer with its acquisition of bankrupt rival LandAmerica Financial Group Inc.'s underwriting companies in December, saw second-quarter revenue grow by 34 percent from a year ago, to $1.57 billion. Pretax profits grew more than 13-fold, to $91.9 million, the company said.

Born and raised in Kennesaw, GA, Tara completed her undergraduate in Marketing from Auburn University in 2014. Desiring to pursue a career with nonprofit marketing, Tara joined the team at Water Mission in 2014. After a year of working in Water Mission's international headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina, she married Andrew Collins in August and now reside in Roswell, GA.
Water Mission is a Christian engineering nonprofit that designs, builds and implements safe water, sanitation and hygiene solutions in developing countries and disaster areas. We've served over 3 million people in 52 countries, and currently maintain staff in nine country programs in Africa, Asia, North, South and Central America and the Caribbean.
To learn more, check out Water Mission's website. Or connect with them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn.

1. What excites you most about waking up in the morning and working for Water Mission?
Knowing that I have the opportunity to point our donors and constituents to stories and campaigns that matter. About work that changes the trajectory of communities, lives of families, education of kids, and the health of all. My team has the unique opportunity to continue to inspire our audience and engage wise stewardship to provide safe water around the world.
2. What's the biggest lesson you've learned since you began your job?
To not take everything too personally. When a pitched idea is rejected, when an article gets rewritten, or when feedback is negative, I initially crumbled as my nature really enjoys people's approval. It's been really good to grow (and continue to grow!) in learning from mistakes and learning that negative feedback is often there to sharpen and challenge my work, instead of tear me down.
3. We hear you have a pretty cool story about how you started working with Water Mission. Could you share it with us?
It dates back to high school, so I'll tell the shortened version. I stumbled across the water crisis when I was 16, and it captivated my heart to learn that roughly 1.8 billion people couldn't turn on a faucet that pours out clean water. I pushed it to the back of my mind, deciding to maybe work in the nonprofit sector in later years.
Later years quickly turned into a few years. As I pursued my undergraduate at Auburn University, the Lord opened up doors to run for a position on campus called Miss Auburn. It wasn't a beauty pageant; it was a historical, elected female role that led the student body to partake in a cause of choice each year. Chosen to campaign for the position alongside four other amazing women, I selected my platform to be the global water crisis. My team decided to take advantage of the campaign week and focused on raising funds for the water crisis to benefit three nonprofits. The campaign, Tara for Water, raised nearly $8,000 to provide clean water. We also won the election, and I had the opportunity to spend my last year at Auburn advocating for the global water crisis, establishing a group dedicated to the cause and inspiring college students to take action.
After graduation, I found an opening with Water Mission, a nonprofit based in Charleston that has one of the best and most sustainable ways to solve the global water crisis. It's been a humbling story to live the past few years, and I'm grateful to spend 40+ hours a week as a marketer so that more people around the world will taste clean water.
4. How has Roam supported you in your job at Water Mission?
Transitioning out of an office with 50 coworkers to working alone in a different city was interesting. I'm really glad to have found Roam: it's the perfect mix of a professional space to work from, staff that engage with you and value your presence, and members that are exciting to learn from.
5. Which emoji do you use most and why?
I should probably lie about this, but currently it's the kissy face with a heart. The second most used emoji is the blue heart, which I use often under Water Mission's Instagram handle to comment on our partners' pictures.

The programme is focused on increasing the accessibility of institutional support to women at risk, victims of violence and their children and other victims of domestic violence.
In addition to being a human rights violation, domestic and gender-based violence also impacts a country's social and economic development. To contribute to the fight against this multidimensional problem, €8.4 million have been earmarked for combating domestic and gender-based violence in Slovakia under the Norway Grants 2009-2014.
The need for such a programme is confirmed by data from Slovakia. In 2011, 6.8% of women over the age of 15 admitted to having experienced abuse in the past 12 months, according to figures from the country's Institute for Labour and Family Research (in Slovak).
The Government Office of the Slovak Republic is the programme operator, and the Norwegian Directorate of Health and the Council of Europe are the donor programme partners. The programme will draw from Norwegian experience in providing shelter for abused women. Norway's first state-funded women's shelter was opened in 1978. The Council of Europe has been providing its expertise to facilitate the preparation and implementation of the programme.
Two calls for proposals
Two calls for proposals under this programme are currently open. The first call has a total allocation of nearly €2.7million in grants. The second call makes €2.4 million available to relevant projects.
Establishing women's shelters and supporting women at risk of violence
Under the first call for proposals, projects are to focus on the establishment of women's shelters meeting the European standards in this field. The shelters will comply with the human rights standards and specific needs of women with various backgrounds, based on the non-discrimination principle in respect to their ethnicity, nationality, health status and age.
The allocation for these types of activities is €2.1 million, and grant amounts are to range between €170 000 and €1 million.
Within both calls, projects will also focus on supporting the existing counselling centres for victims of domestic violence which already are providing services.
The allocation for this is €1.5 million. Grant amounts are to range between €5 000 and €170 000 for the small grant scheme and €170,000 to €600,000 for the normal grant scheme.
Both calls also have an allocation of €1.5 million to media campaigns aimed at preventing domestic and gender-based violence.
Partnerships with Norwegian institutions are strongly encouraged at project level. To facilitate the cooperation between Slovak and Norwegian entities, the programme operator has published a list of potential project partners from Norway. A matchmaking event will also be organised in Bratislava on 16 September. See the programme operator's webpage for more information on this.
Announcement call for proposals: 8 September 2014
Deadline: 10 November 2014

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 8, 7-9pm - ARTIST IN ATTENDANCE
Keith Langergraber's new body of work explores the subculture of meteorite hunters, following a motley group of prospectors across a surreal landscape. Focusing upon the intricacies of language, the story integrates and gradually distorts the folklore of treasure hunters and prospectors through a search that eventually brings them to the base of the Tower of Babel. Langergraber's work looks at language, exposing it as a process rather than a constant. By problematizing the nature of fictional narrative, and the role and function of language, a sanctioned "Babel" emerges through the underlying metonymic use of myth, challenging our faith in language as a valid source of knowledge, and serving as a meditation on impermanence.
Keith Langergraber is a mid-career artist living and working in Vancouver. He received his BFA from the University of Victoria and his MFA from the University of British Columbia. He has exhibited extensively in solo and group shows in galleries in Canada, the United States and Asia since 1995. He has received many grants and awards for his work including having been nominated for the Sobey Award in 2009. He teaches at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Valtrex is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection. Valtrex will not cure herpes, but it can lessen the symptoms of the infection. Valtrex is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses in adults and children. Illnesses caused by herpes viruses include genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chickenpox. Valtrex is used to treat cold sores in children who are at least 12 years old, and to treat chickenpox in children who are at least 2 years old.
The health and medical information provided here is for general purposes only and is not a substitute for the expertise and judgment of your physician, or other health care professional. It should not be understood to indicate that the use of this medicine is safe, appropriate or effective for you. Always consult your health care professional before using this, or any other, drug.
Before taking Valtrex, tell your doctor if you have HIV/AIDS, a weak immune system, kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis), or if you have had a kidney or bone marrow transplant.
Valtrex can be harmful to the kidneys, and these effects are increased when it is used together with other medicines that can harm the kidneys. Tell your doctor about all other medications you are using. You may need dose adjustments or special tests when taking certain medications together with Valtrex.
Treatment with Valtrex should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (such as tingling, burning, blisters).
Herpes virus can be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. If you have genital herpes, it is very important to prevent herpes lesions during your pregnancy so that you do not have a genital lesion when your baby is born.
Valtrex will not prevent the spread of genital herpes. Herpes infections are contagious and you can infect other people even while you are taking with Valtrex.
Stop taking Valtrex and call your doctor right away if you have any signs of a serious side effect that can harm red blood cells, such as: fever, easy bruising or bleeding, red spots on the skin (not related to herpes or chickenpox), bloody diarrhea, vomiting, pale or yellowed skin, weakness, fainting, or urinating less than usual or not at all.
Do not give Valtrex to a child unless it has been prescribed by a doctor.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking Valtrex and call your doctor right away if you have any of the following signs of a serious side effect that can harm red blood cells:
fever, easy bruising or bleeding;
red spots on the skin (not related to herpes or chickenpox);
bloody diarrhea, vomiting;
pale or yellowed skin;
weakness or fainting; or
urinating less than usual or not at all.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these other serious side effects:
pain in your lower back;
drowsiness, mood changes, increased thirst, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting;
swelling, weight gain, feeling short of breath;
confusion, agitation, aggression, hallucinations, trouble concentrating;
feeling shaky or unsteady;
problems with speech or vision; or
seizure (convulsions).
Less serious Valtrex side effects may include:
nausea, stomach pain;
headache, dizziness, tired feeling, depression;
joint pain;
menstrual pain;
mild skin rash; or
stuffy nose, sore throat.
Take Valtrex exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Treatment with Valtrex should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (such as tingling, burning, blisters). This medication might not be as effective if you first start taking it 1 or 2 days after the start of your symptoms.
Take each dose with a full glass of water. Drink plenty of water while you are taking Valtrex to keep your kidneys working properly. Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Valtrex can be taken with or without food.
Take this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may get better before the infection is completely treated. Valtrex will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Lesions caused by herpes viruses should be kept as clean and dry as possible. Wearing loose clothing may help to prevent irritation of the lesions.
Store Valtrex tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Store Valtrex liquid in a refrigerator. Do not freeze. Throw away any unused Valtrex that is older than 28 days.

"Dingle - Cill Bhreac House, had a lovely stay, and they just re-freshed their rooms last year."
"On my first trip in 2007, I stayed at the Cill Bhreac B&B and really enjoyed the comfortable rooms and the Innkeeper Angela took good care of us. You'll have a wonderful time!"
"Spent last month in Dingle, and I would recommend that you stay there two or three nights, and not in Tralee or Limerick. I couldn't wait to get out of Limerick, but unless you have friends or family or something there. It gives you the chance to do the Slea Head drive, or maybe go to Inch Beach and enjoy the countryside a bit more."
"In Dingle, I really enjoyed the Cill Bhreac (like Kill Vrac), and Angela the owner just did some re-decorating so it should be quite freshened up."
"I've stayed at the Cill Bhreac B&B in Dingle, and the innkeeper Angela has just done some redecorating, so it should be nicely freshened up. Very comfortable rooms (they have ground floor rooms for easy accessibility) and great breakfasts."
"For Dingle, we really liked Cill Bhreac House http://www.cillbhreachouse.com. Nice rooms, good food, decent walk into town."
"I want to second the recommendation for Cill Bhreac. Stayed there 5 years ago and remember seeing rainbows from the breakfast room and sheep going down the street out front. There was even horseback riding a short distance away."
"Hi Mycup - I've stayed at Cill Bhreac and would recommend it. Angela is a great hostess, the rooms and beds are comfortable and lovely. The breakfast was excellent and the room is cheery. You can pull out of the driveway to start the Slea Head drive as we did. Make sure to have your own copy of the map and don't forget to stop in to the museum on the drive - some really beautiful artifacts there. I'm also thinking of going in the spring, so maybe see you there!"
"I stayed here several years ago. http://www.cillbhreachouse.com .Nice location to start the Slea Head loop. Angela was nice, and breakfast was good."
"I also stayed at Cill Bhreac House in 2007 and would love to go back. We arrived in the evening and when I called, Angela was out to dinner herself. She said, the door was open and told us how to get to our room - which was lovely, with comfortable beds and a nice bath.
"I loved the breakfast room, and she couldn't have been nicer. Hope you get the chance to enjoy it!"
"Dingle's a great place to base yourself. Last year we stayed at the lovely Cill Bhreac B&B: http://www.cillbhreachouse.com and enjoyed the town, the great pubs, the harbor, some shopping and the Peninsula. Kenmare would be a bit far to see all those things and not be rushed driving - but you'll love it!"
"I stayed for a couple of nights at Cill Bhreac in Dingle (pronounced Kill Vrack) last October. The house is just beautiful and Angela is a wonderful hostess. I had the room with three beds, which was spacious and comfortable. And the breakfast was excellent as well as her recommendations. It's just a couple minutes from the Main Street and her prices may work for you."
"In Dingle we stayed at the Cill Bhreac (like Kill Vrack)Angela was a terrific hostess and so accommodating."
"It is so comforable with a beautiful sitting room, large deck and beautiful views. In Dingle we had a room with 3 beds and they're so reasonably priced it was a bit more comfortable. Loved that Irish breakfast!"
"Rick Steves website (not his book) mentions again and again a place called Cil Bhreac House and they are apparently about 1 KM from the town center: http://www.cillbhreachouse.com. You may want to check it out if you decide to go...good luck"
"Our bed had a warming pad under the sheets and Angela suggested we turn it on low when we went out so our bed would be toasty warm when we came home, and it was! My husband and Helen, her "helper" (for lack of a better term) hit it off famously; she has a great sense of humor! Be sure and come back with your opinion."
"A few words about Cill Bhreac: Angela runs an extremely busy B&B. Our linens were nice and clean, and the room freshly made the next morning."
"The dining room was very clean and nicely set, and Angela and her helper Helen were happy to accomodate guests' requests for breakfast variations."
"Don't know if it's too late, but allisonm mentioned Cill Bhreac in Dingle. My wife and I stayed there for a night in May and found it to be a very nice place. Angela was very nice, and breakfast was good (she has pancakes on the menu if you need a break from the traditional menus)."
"It's a short drive into town (or a bit of a walk) and it's located right on the road out to Slea Head, so location is pretty good, too."
"Cill Bhreac in Dingle: Four of us were there in '99, and enjoyed our stay. Same good words for this B&B. Wonderful view, ask for front upstairs bedroom."
"Husband, son, daughter-in-law and I stayed at Cill Bhreac in Dingle two years ago. We found it to be pleasent, clean, wonderful view (ask for a front bedroom!), very gracious hostess, and very good breakfasts"
"Just got back from Ireland & spent a couple of days in Dingle - - if you're looking for a really lovely B&B overlooking Dingle Bay, with a warm & charming hostess, I strongly recommend CILL BHREAC, Mrs. Angela McCarthy, prop. She can be emailed for reservations at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Tell her Jude Keys sent ya."
"We stayed two nights in Dingle. A long, tedious drive from Shannon Airport, but worth it because you can begin exploring Dingle right away! A nice stop in between is Adare. We loved our B&B in Dingle. Lots of hot water and good water pressure. Great breakfast. Gracious, sincere hostess. Cill Bhreac House, we made reservations over the web, www.cillbhreachouse.com"

What's Jughead's Real Name On 'Riverdale'? It's Not What You'd Expect
No, Jughead Jones was probably not born with a crown beanie on his head, and his given birth name wasn't Jughead either. Riverdale's favorite resident brooding film buff narrator, played by Cole Sprouse, clearly goes by a nickname, but what is Jughead's real name? For starters, it's a mouthful to say. But it does have some historical significance within his complicated family lineage.
According to the Archie comics, Jughead's actual name is — drumroll, please — Forsythe Pendleton Jones III. Sound kinda familiar? Of course it does, because his dear old dad (Skeet Ulrich) goes by FP, as you probably know by now. FP is apparently the second Forsyth in the Jones family tree and Jug stepped into the role as the third. The title must be pretty important in the Jones brood because Jughead's sister Jellybean's real name is actually called Forsythia. We're sensing a trend... and we would probably go with Jellybean given a choice. It's a pretty sweet moniker. We don't blame either young Jones descendants for wanting to be known by these new names. We can't imagine our beloved Jughead going by a name as stuffy as Forsythe, or being referred to as a "third." We just don't see it.
Jughead's name hasn't really been a focus in the TV adaptation of Riverdale, considering there were clearly bigger mysteries to solve... like murder. But the comics made finding out his name a thing. But where does the nickname Jughead come from? It sounds nothing like Forsythe. Jughead apparently used to be a common term for someone who had big ears, and that's how he originally came to be called something so seemingly random. Cole Sprouse's ears aren't exactly noteworthy in size, so maybe there's more behind this title in the Riverdale universe.
Jughead's name isn't the only mystery on viewer's minds — his beat-up crown hat has also been a topic of discussion. During a Reddit AMA earlier this year, Cole Sprouse revealed that the beanie isn't just a hip fashion choice. The crown symbolizes more than that, and it makes so much sense given his character. The actor explained that he "did a lot of research on the cap when I first got the part. Here's a great little video that does a better job than I could explaining it." According to the clip, the style of hat it's based on — it's known as a "whoopee cap" — was common when the comic debuted back in 1941. Apparently people would cut up fedoras so they would resemble crown-like brimless beanies. Cole went on, "the cap will always stand for a kind of nonconformist, working class symbol, hoping to breathe the same into this version." Thanks for taking your job so seriously, Cole. The more you know...
Jughead's name and his beanie are very intertwined with his character's longtime representation in pop culture, so it's comforting to know the TV adaptation is keeping the image alive for the modern masses. And aside from all the totally sinister and not-at-all wholesome activity going on in Riverdale, a lot of the show's characters actually mirror their comic book selves. Sure, Jason Blossom had a different narrative. And no, Miss Grundy didn't look like that...
Jughead AKA Forsythe Pendleton III is definitely a fan favorite when it comes to Riverdale, and we look forward to learning more about him, whether his past is based on the comics or not. We're petitioning for childhood flashbacks (baby Jug!), the introduction of Jellybean, and basically any more intel we can get our hands on in Season 2. The more Jughead (and Bughead), the better.

Have you allowed the true meaning of Christmas to impact your life?
I'd encourage you to get together with the Discover the Word team today. They have a question they'd like you to think about. Beyond the lights and the presents, when did the true meaning of Christmas impact your life? When did Christmas become Christmas for you? Has it? Well, join us to hear how "Christmas […]
Choosing faith over fear
As the Christmas carol tells us, Christmas brings "tidings of comfort and joy"! But it's safe to say that not everyone buys into the Savior in the manger. Today on Discover the Word, we turn our attention to one person in the Christmas story who saw Christmas as a threat. Yes, "Christmas Changes Everything," but […]
A closer look at the shepherds
Most nativity scenes are pretty similar. You've got Mary, Joseph, and Jesus of course, usually some sheep, a donkey, an angel, and a couple shepherds. Today on Discover the Word, we'll take a little closer look at those shepherds, who discovered that "Christmas Changes Everything." Be listening today to Discover the Word!
So what made Joseph stay?
Today on Discover the Word, you're invited to put yourself in Joseph's shoes. Your fiancée comes to you and says, "I'm pregnant." How would you react? Like Joseph, you'd probably consider the option of backing out of that marriage. So what made Joseph stay? Learn how "Christmas Changes Everything" when you join us today for […]
How Christmas changed everything
Every generation has its heroes—valiant soldiers, daring inventors, and medical geniuses. But the most earth-shattering event in history had at its center, a teenage girl. Today on Discover the Word, the team will lead a discussion on how Christmas changed everything for Mary and how it continues to change everything for us. It's a powerful […]
The Day I Believed in Jesus and Broke My Dad's Heart
"Look at what you've done by becoming a Christian! You've deserted the family tradition. Your father feels like a failure. He couldn't keep the family together." My mother was upset.
Dave's Story
Dave Dietz attended church but really didn't understand the love of Jesus, until…
I Dare You to Fail
I got a call one day. The voice on the other end said something like, "We really like your voice. We want you to be on our TV show."
Finding contentment
Today on Discover the Word, the group will conclude a series of conversations about how we may have been, "Misunderstanding Martha"! The discussion is centered on contentment and how we can learn to act out of the gifting God has given us. Are you comfortable with who God made you to be? Listen today to […]
When "getting the job done" takes a back seat
"I could use a little help here!" Yeah, when there's work to be done, no one likes to see someone just sitting around! But are there times when "getting the job done" isn't the most necessary thing? Today, the Discover the Word team uncovers the "whole story" about a familiar story in the Bible where […]
A defining moment
Today on Discover the Word, the group will continue this week's study about Martha, the sister who may have been terribly misunderstood. We're looking at one of the defining moments in Martha's life that leaves her changed forever. Grab a seat in the fourth chair and listen today to Discover the Word!
Prepare the Child
A phrase on many parenting websites says, "Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child." Instead of trying to remove all obstacles and pave the way for the children in our life, we should instead equip them to deal with the difficulties they encounter on the road ahead.
The psalmist wrote, "We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes . . . which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them . . . and…
13 Words that Changed My Life
There are certain moments in life we will never forget. We remember these times vividly because they have a profound impact on the way we view the world, ourselves, and how we approach life.

Today we begin our look back at the 2010 season, a tough one but one that will hopefully start laying down the foundation for the future for the Bills. Today's it's the opener, a 15-10 loss to the Dolphins at home.
So much for squish the fish.
Or stymie Miami.
Longtime AFC East rivals met on a 2010 opening day collision course. The excitement was back. The emotion, the juices were flowing again. It was a good day to have football back in our lives. If only someone reminded the Buffalo Bills offense that the season started today.
In their best Groundhog Day impression that Bill Murray could marvel at, the Bills juvenile, popgun offense was on full display shooting plenty of blanks in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. I sure didn't miss this for the last nine months. Other than the fact that it finally wasn't Dick Jauron, new head coach Chan Gailey's debut didn't fare much better.
The best two words that come to mind to describe this one are ugly and frustrating. Like a parrot that's only been taught a few phrases, in typically Buffalo Bills fashion the defense did enough to come up with a victory and in return, the offense did more than enough to be a let down. How many times in the last 10 years has that been the case?

By: FOX News Radio's Jessica Golloher in Sevastopol, Ukraine on the Black Sea coast of the Crimean Peninsula
The people of Ukraine have gone through a lot within the last few weeks. They've fomented a revolution, forced out president Viktor Yanukovych, formed a new Parliament and will be voting on a new President on May 25th. Now, they're faced with Crimea--- voting whether to join the former Soviet Union.
The brand-new government has hardly had time to catch its breath, not to mention to try to fix Ukraine's 39 billion-dollar budget deficit. Shortly after Yanukovych was ousted, he popped up in southern Russia, in Rostov-on-Don.
Russia offered Yanukovych refuge-- maintaining that Yanukovych is still the legitimate president of Ukraine and that the new government in Kiev is illegitimate-- run by fascists and those who will most likely persecute Russian speakers.
The fugitive president is wanted for mass murder in the deaths of more than 75 Ukrainians. This, after the now disbanded Berkut riot police and snipers shot protesters in Independence Square after a European Union brokered cease-fire was agreed upon by Yanukovych.
The same day that Yanukovych appeared in Russia, the strategic Crimean Peninsula here saw an almost overnight increase in the presence of Russian speaking troops. It was like someone had waved a magic wand. Troops effortlessly took over two military airports and Simferopol's International Airport.
One man said that the forces were mere humble, Russian-speaking Crimeans who wanted to protect themselves from what he called "the new fascist government that had been installed in Kiev".
The so-called humble, Russian-speaking troops with their arsenal of modern tanks, military helicopters and warships has raised a lot of eyebrows.
Especially, since they appear to be manned by highly trained people-- taking over key military installations here. Forcing the head of Ukraine's Navy, who had only been on the job for two days, to surrender. He is now being tried for treason.
Ukraine's Coast Guard has also moved several of its ships from key ports here in Crimea, out into the Black Sea. Kiev maintains that they're still loyal to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the same day Yanukovych appeared in Russia and just a few days before he gave his first press conference since fleeing Ukraine-- regional parliament in Simferopol and several surrounding buildings were taken over by Russian speaking gunmen. They lowered the Ukrainian flag and raised Russia's. Nota Bene: Yanukovych says he didn't abscond, he merely left because his life was threatened and his family in danger.
During the mass demonstrations that occurred before the regional parliament was seized, one man suffered a heart attack as the crowds swelled. Dozens of others were injured in fistfights.
After parliament was taken over, the autonomous region of Crimea elected a Prime Minister, Sergey Aksenov.
He has since declared full control of the local military, law enforcement and security services.
Ukraine's newly elected Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has repeatedly come out to say that Aksenov doesn't have a government and that Crimea belongs to Ukraine and always will. Yatsenyuk did concede, however, that Crimea's local powers could be increased.
This, as much of the world has been trying to figure out who exactly is responsible for the thousands of well-equipped troops here? None of the troops have any sort of insignia and when I've asked them questions, they don't respond. So it's difficult to ascertain an accent.
A third generation Crimean, who didn't want to give his name, says the troops are in fact self-defense forces and not Russian. When I asked him who was financing them, he shrugged his shoulders and said-- "Not Russia".
Ukraine's interim President has called the troops a military intervention and occupation by Moscow. Several days after the announcement, Putin asked Russian parliament for permission to send troops into Ukraine. He was granted permission.
A day afterwards, Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, came out to say that even though Putin has the ability to use troops in Ukraine, doesn't mean he will. Adding that Putin was aware of all of his options, including recalling Moscow's ambassador to Washington.
Again-- Ukraine asked Moscow to pull back its troops.
Russia's response? Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov came out to say that the thousands of troops here lining Crimea, in addition to their accoutrements, didn't belong to Moscow-- they're self-defense forces. So, the Kremlin couldn't call them home.
The same day Lavrov made his announcement, Crimea's Prime Minister echoed Lavrov's claim, saying that the some 11,000 troops here are special-defense forces from Crimea. Sergey Aksenov upped the ante by saying that the troops had taken over key Ukrainian military installations here, and what hasn't been surrendered by Ukraine, has been blocked.
So, after all this back and forth, what does the average Crimean think about the so-called self-defense troops? Most everyone I spoke with, whether they were for or against Moscow, were uneasy with them being in their backyard. It's unsettling.
For those who thought that the troops were here to protect the average Crimean and Russia's interests in the some 60% Russian-speaking region, they still felt uneasy. People who are pro-Kiev say there's nothing that they can do about them, because well, they're here.
And, what can be done about it? Washington has threatened sanctions against Russia. But many are wondering what affect that will actually have.
The last time America slapped Russia's wrist was with the so-called 'Magnitsky list', naming Russians allegedly involved in the death of anti-corruption lawyer Sergei Magnitsky-- who died in a Russian prison while awaiting trial on charges of tax fraud. Those on the list were denied entry into the U.S. and their assets frozen.
Moscow responded by hitting below the belt-- and not to mention where it hurts, by banning Americans from adopting Russian children. Some 16,000 Russian children have been adopted by Americans since the collapse of the Soviet Union-- and many children were in the process of being adopted when the ban went into effect.
The events that have taken place here in Ukraine are unbelievable to many. How did the thousands of very well trained troops end up with matching camouflage outfits and machine guns? Did their leader go to the local Army-Navy store here and make a mass purchase? Where did all of these men come from?
Especially, since ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych got rid of conscription two years ago and Ukraine has only a volunteer force. Plus, Ukraine's military is sorely underfunded. Leaders weren't able to infuse the armed forces with mass funds after the collapse of the Soviet Union-- especially given the recent budget deficit. And Crimea is part of Ukraine, isn't it?
That's the million-dollar question as military helicopters continue to surround my hotel here in Sevastopol and I can see warships speeding through the Black Sea.
In Crimea, Jessica Golloher, FOX News Radio.

I agree with both of you in that regard. Whether a union acts in the interest of employees in general (including new ones) or in the interests of some privileged clique (e.g. senior employees, the business) is down to a number of political factors, the way in which the union is organised, etc. Iron law of oligarchy and all that.

The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M Harris
The concept of this book is very intriguing, the Norse mythology that is so widely known retold from the perspective of the one who brought down Asgard – Loki the Trickster. Will we discover that Loki is actually a misunderstood soul rather than the backstabbing traitor that the original stories portray him as?
The story is told through a series of short stories, taking place across an indeterminate amount of time, from Loki's perspective. We learn of his origins in Chaos and how he becomes part of the gods of Asgard, and consequently their downfall.
While this book definitely tells the myths from a different perspective, all it resulted in for me was a general dislike for every character mentioned. While the stories themselves are quite interesting, I found myself not actually bothered about who won or lost, or ultimately who is the moral victor. Though Harris is certainly a decent writer, if her aim was to portray Loki as a more sympathetic character, she fails pretty spectacularly, and I think that is what this book boils down to; it doesn't matter how interesting the story is when none of the characters are likeable.
Due to the short-story nature of the individual chapters, there was no feeling of large amounts of time passing, more just a series of events that could have taken a few weeks rather than numerous years. I went into the story hoping that Loki would grow from Wildfire into a more recognisable, human character with whom a reader could relate to as an outsider trying to find their place in the universe, but there was no investment in any of the characters.
Loki himself is given enough space to talk to allow us to grow attached to him in some way, and he is certainly an entertaining enough narrator (though at times rather childish), but there was no likeability or connection to the reader that make a narrator truly memorable.
I've enjoyed Harris' dark psychological thrillers before, and I was hoping she would bring the same darkness and exploration of character to this book, but unfortunately for me it simply didn't live up to expectation. She certainly knows her Norse mythology, and I can't find fault with it at all, but the delivery was disappointing.

What a great time to write a book focusing on Loki the trickster god of Norse mythology! The popularity of Loki is on the rise with thanks to the stellar turn of Tom Hiddleston in Marvel's Thor and Avengers Assemble film. This book follows closely to The Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson.
In the book Loki is the star and we follow his viewpoint from the beginning of the world, when Order and Chaos came together to create the Nine Worlds, to Ragnarok where the Nine Worlds end and Chaos for a while takes over. The Gospel of Loki is broken into four books, Light, Shadow, Sunset and Twilight. Each book is then split into lessons, with a line of wisdom from the Lokabrenna.
Loki himself as the main character is charmingly engaging, although like anyone whose luck seemingly runs out, for all his problems he can never blame himself. Loki has complicated relationships with all the other gods and monsters. Where he tries to win the trust of the gods he loses the trust of any other allies he may one day require. This can make Loki sometimes come off as whiny as he never has the love and respect that he craves and yet he is never able to give it anyone else either.
Loki's take on the official story of Norse mythology is that this is propaganda passed out by Odin as in "his-story – history" where as Loki's story is "my-story – mystery". As we always learn, History is written by the survivors. This is an intelligently written story which focuses on the lack of trust between two characters whose relationship is semi-dependent on their final goals. Maybe if there had been trust Ragnarok may have been a forgotten idea that twinkled from a distance. As the gods in this story are driven by their main rune aspect they do seem fairly one dimensional, but in a story about gods this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I found this book to be interesting, giving a different take on an old story, but mostly it made me want to read The Prose Edda again, which if it makes other people feel this way will give them a well rounded view of Norse mythology.

The Gospel of Loki, first published February 13, 2014 by Gollancz, is the first work of epic fantasy for adults by award-winning author Joanne Harris.
I must admit that I was a cynic when I first picked up this book; I was concerned that Joanne Harris would not be able to replicate the great success she has enjoyed in non-fantasy genres. However, my concern was misplaced and Joanne M Harris (adopting the Iain Banks style middle initial for the fantasy genre) has produced an engaging and unique take on Old Norse mythology.
The book is written from the viewpoint of the Norse trickster god, Loki. With his notorious reputation for trickery and deception, and an ability to cause as many problems as he solves, Loki is a Norse god like no other. Demon-born, he is viewed with deepest suspicion by his fellow gods who will never accept him as one of their own and for this he vows to take his revenge.
But while Loki is planning the downfall of Asgard and the humiliation of his tormentors, greater powers are conspiring against the gods and a battle is brewing that will change the fate of the Worlds.
From his recruitment by Odin from the realm of Chaos, through his years as the go-to man of Asgard, to his fall from grace in the build-up to Ragnarok, this is the unofficial history of the world's ultimate trickster.
We look at events through his perspective as he narrates the creation of the nine worlds - well known myths involving the other gods and their final conflict.
Throughout the story it is apparent that Harris is an expert of Norse mythology and she makes it into a compelling subject matter that encourages the revisiting of these historic tales. It did in fact inspire me to research the origins of Mimir's prophecy to Odin.
Loki's unique narration brings the myths to life with a grounded and modern take on the traits and weaknesses of the gods of Asgard. My particular favourite was Loki's besotted (and slightly deranged) wife, Sigyn, complete with homemade jam tarts and fruit cake.
I found the build up to Ragnarok inventive and absorbing. This was assisted by recognisable twists on the good and bad guys from Norse myth such as Jormagund and (sulky teenager) Fenris. Despite Loki's thoroughly despicable acts you do end up feeling sympathy for him and contempt for his dullard fellow gods and goddesses.
I look forward to Harris' next foray in to fantasy, especially if she applies her love of Norse mythology again.

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) was originally defined as the art and science of increasing your website's propensity to turn visitors into customers.
However, the expansion of the subscription model into our daily lives has now stretched that definition to include customer retention and reduction of churn rate.
So many of us use pay monthly or yearly subscriptions to services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Boy, do I love Amazon Prime.
But you can also have subscriptions to The Times, Spotify, Office 365, Dropbox, Norton security. Then there are businesses like Disney that have launched subscription children's channels, Starbucks' Reserve Coffee subscription, Graze snack box delivery – there's even a razor/shaving club.
Why are subscriptions so popular?
Well, the revenue is measured by the lifetime value of a customer, not just the initial transaction value that a customer has made. It is recurring revenue; the gift that keeps on giving, if you will.
The lifetime value balances the heavy costs of acquisition and in the long term generates a very solid profit margin. So subscriber retention has become a 'keep at all costs' game – don't lose my subscribers.
That's why we use the same CRO consumer behavior acquisition methodologies in retention in order to play with consumer psychology to make the subscriber believe that cancelling his/her subscription is simply the wrong choice. Our conversion goal in retention is to make you doubt.
Here lies one of the many frustrations with CRO; most companies believe that increasing conversion is about site design, UX, price or constant giveaways and discounts. For both acquisition and retention, they are wrong on every level.
You see, the key is figuring out how to match the right psychological trigger to a particular subscriber.
Subscription types
Let's look at news subscriptions like the Wall Street Journal or Financial Times, for example. Some of the techniques I would research could include loss aversion (Daniel Kahneman), where a person values what he has more than what he stands to gain.
Or Robert Cialdini's principles of pre-suasion – getting a person to accept an idea before it is presented to them. All I need to do is get you to hesitate, just for a split second in that specific moment in time so you believe that cancelling your subscription is the wrong thing to do.
It's fascinating to see how in this digital world of ours, marketers are obsessed with the technology silver bullet, the algorithm,
Or let's say you've had a Norton antivirus security subscription for three years and your computer has been running without a virus all this time. You wonder whether that subscription is worth it and want to save the £39 annual cost – you want to cancel.
The most unsophisticated retention approach is to simply hide the cancel your subscription link or force you to call a phone number.
But you could design a conversational path or an in-app push conversation that reminds and educates the subscriber of the constant protection Norton provides: "Hi John, our Antivirus just scanned your phone, you're safe and we will keep protecting you in the background".
So the second you think of cancelling your subscription, we just need to surface the risk of being unsafe without us. Is your safety worth it? No. So I postpone my decision to cancel.
Influencing people's decisions
There are so many different ways to influence a person's decisions and subscription retention is such a fertile ground to use them. It is complex to craft the right series of messages that suit a particular customer's psychology; there is no silver bullet.
Another example would be Altercasting, and if you combine it with Loss Aversion then you're golden – only if you match it to the right customer psychology, that is. Altercasting taps into each person's aspiration to live up to expectations or to live up to the image of a greater self. You project a role and get the visitor to aspire to fill that role. "The best fund managers like Donald Parsons predict stock market crashes before the average investor. The XYZ subscription gives you that predictive edge. What kind of investor do you want to be?"
You see, we don't spend our days thinking we want to cancel a subscription, so I just need to squash the thought when it happens.
And yes, it can be through as crude a method as: "We just extended your subscription by 48 days for free because you've been such a loyal customer". I just pushed back your yearly subscription cancellation decision.
The 48 days isn't random, I want you to forget when it's time to cancel again, and most customers will sign-up for another year.
It's fascinating to see how in this digital world of ours, marketers are obsessed with the technology silver bullet, the algorithm, the machine learning to generate revenue. Let me burst that bubble.
It is a complex exercise to marry the billions of data signals we have, the algorithms we use with consumer psychology and the actual living people.
However, get it right and you can see your churn rates go down and margins increase. But only if you are willing to put in the extra effort.
