Educational/Research Interests
My current research focuses on understanding the health consequences of sleep deficiency and circadian dysfunction by integrating factors at the individual, biological, and contextual levels. I have conducted multiple epidemiological investigations on sleep deficiency in relation to obesity, cancer and other chronic conditions. I am currently expanding this line of research by investigating the 24-hour circadian rhythms of physical activity and eating behaviors in relation to metabolic health. In addition, I seek to elucidate the biological mechanisms mediating the adverse health outcomes of sleep deficiency and circadian dysfunction, particularly focusing on human metabolism. Finally, I am keen to study sleep disparities in different racial and ethnic groups and across different socioeconomic strata, and evaluate how sleep disparities may contribute to health inequality.

Robotic Process Automation
Set your knowledge workers free from the mundane. Upswing productivity with RPA and let 'em take over the dull, the boring and the routine.CONNECT WITH NEWGEN
While everyone wants to do new and exciting, successful enterprises thrive on doing the repetitive, and mundane, efficiently. Thanks to legacy and dated operations, organisations continue to overly depend on people for performing these tasks manually. RPA is a boon for such situations.
However, it can quickly become a case of losing sight of the woods for the trees. A solid process automation deals with highways as well as it does with exits and last mile touch points. RPA is a last mile task automation for processes and can get you tremendous leverage when supported by a broader process platform.
RPA is in essence a process exercise. It can be a great leverage for digital if planned and deployed in conjunction with broader customer-centric processes and outcomes.

Spy wars in the skies over north Africa
Alan Warnes looks at the tense spying game being played out between Morocco and Algeria.
Tensions flared between Morocco and Algeria in early April when the former's government accused its long-time foe of allowing Polisario Front fighters through its border.
The freedom fighters, recognised by the United Nations, come from the Sahrawi refugee camps around Tindouf, inside Algeria.
The Polisario Front is a national organisation, and a legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people in Western Sahara, which has been trying to take back the region since Morocco annexed it in 1972.
The Western Sahara War, which started after Morocco's annexation of the former Spanish colony in 1975, ended in a peace settlement in 1991. However, there has been no lasting resolution to the conflict. Instead, a UN buffer-zone has been drawn up and Morocco is threatening to take it over if the Polisario Front is not stopped.
So, it is not surprising that there are deep tensions between the two north African countries and, as a result, both have been introducing tactical reconnaissance systems since the late 70s specifically for their intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance roles.
Due to their political alignments, the countries have taken different routes. Morocco looks to the US and France, while non-aligned Algeria follows the orbit of the former Soviet, and now Russian, supply chains.
Equipment was initially related to fighters, modified for carrying reconnaissance mission systems. Algeria used MiG-21 Fishbeds fitted with Vinten pods and MiG-25R Foxbats, while Morocco looked towards the RF-5A and Mirage F1s, equipped with French reconnaissance pods.
Due to the need to support its soldiers on the ground, the Royal Moroccan Air Force (RMAF) upgraded three C-130s in the late 70s. They were equipped with Motorola ground movement target indicator (GMTI) and sideways-looking airborne radar (SLAR) systems.
When one of the Hercules was shot down by a MiG-23, launched from Tindouf Air Force Base on October 12 1981, both sides nearly went to war. However, diplomatic efforts from the UN won the day.
The Moroccan fleet took yet another major knock on July 26, 2011 when one of the two surviving EC-130Hs crashed in bad weather during a transport flight.
The intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)-equipped Hercules have made a massive contribution to detecting Polisario fighters crossing the borders from their camps in Algeria, and have provided the early warning to ensure Moroccan troops were not ambushed.
Operating alongside the C-130s are a couple of Falcon 20s, which are equipped for signals intelligence (SIGINT) operations, mainly to provide advanced early warning (AEW) and acquire an electronic order of battle (a listing of non-communications electronic devices with possible military significance) for the RMAF.
The two Falcon 20s were upgraded in the late 90s but are now considered obsolete. This has led the RMAF to look at the possibility of using advanced business jets like the Gulfstream 550 or the Global Express 6000.
Procuring four strategic ISR platforms would go some way to defeating Algeria's deadly S-300 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) or the Sukhoi Su-30MKA.
In the early 90s, Algeria needed a sophisticated and ambitious ISR requirement to keep ahead of the poor internal security situation. A civil war between the Algerian Government and an increasing radical Islamist insurgency, which today would be called terrorists, was claiming the lives of thousands of people.
The Algerian military started to introduce synthetic aperture radar (SAR), electro optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems and datalink capabilities, which at that time was unheard of in Africa – with the exception of Morocco and its EC-130Hs, of course.
In 1998, Northrop Grumman received the go-ahead from the US State Department to export a new ISR system based on the modification of six Beech-1900D regional airliners.
The $207 million contract included the Raytheon high integrated synthetic aperture radar (HISAR) ground moving target indicator (GMTI) radar and a WDS-16 forward-looking infrared (FLIR) system, integrated with an L-3 tactical common data link (TCDL) and some mobile ground stations. It was an extremely expensive deal but Algeria needed the capability urgently.
However, it was plagued by problems, which started during the definition phase when it became obvious the aircraft was ill-suited for long ISR missions.
The Beech-1900D was originally designed as a small regional airliner, so the multi-mission surveillance (MMSA) version did not have the range, with all the new kit, to carry out long flights.
The Algerians did not have any coherent approach and the selection of the aircraft had nothing to do with a robust system definition, but aimed at pleasing certain commercial interests.
Algerian Air Force intelligence suffered because the Beech-1900D could not stay airborne for more than two-and-a-half hours, even though the length of the mission should have been considered the prime factor in the selection process.
Most of the missions required only the use of the EO FLIR. The SAR GMTI HISAR radar was rarely needed because SAR was developed for use in countries with bad weather where EO/IR system are inoperative – clearly not the case in Algeria!
Also, insurgents in the mountains didn't rely on specialised vehicles to move around, rendering the use of GMTI marginal, to say the least.
Border surveillance missions requiring the GMTI radar capability were hampered by the very short range of the aircraft mission profile.
During 2014, the Beech 1900s are known to have been upgraded with the L3 Wescam MX-15 EO/IR systems.
In July 2016, Leonardo announced it had been selected to supply two Beechcraft King Air 350ERs with the airborne tactical observation system (ATOS) to an 'African country' (known to be Algeria). According to Leonardo, it is geared towards a growing demand for wide area surveillance and patrolling, targeted surveillance, environmental and disaster control, integrating a wide number of sensors and subsystems in a highly modular design.
Finmeccanica (now Leonardo) had already upgraded one of Algeria's aircraft to a maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) variant in 2012. It was modified by the French company BCA, with the installation of SELEX Galileo's Gabbiano radar as part of the airborne tactical observation and surveillance system (ATOS).
The Algerian Air Force is thought to operate six reconnaissance-configured Beech King Air 350ERs, which were delivered a couple of years ago. They all wear civilian colours and are devoid of any national markings.
A series of measures was taken in 2014 to either modernise existing capabilities or add new strategic and tactical ISR programmes. These included:
• Modernisation of six existing Beech-1900D MMSAs;
• Transformation of four existing Beech-1900D liaison aircraft to MMSA next generation aircraft;
• Acquisition of five reconnaissance and surveillance tactical ISR aircraft; and
• Acquisition of three multi-mission strategic aircraft ISR business jets.
The strategic ISR solution was given to the Air Force Command Electronic Warfare and Reconnaissance Division. It awarded a $1.1 billion contract to Raytheon Systems for three significantly modified Gulfstream 550s in 2015, allegedly without any serious or robust analysis of the requirement.
Basically, the Algerians required a business jet that could do tactical and strategic missions at the same time, without any differentiation between passive sensors and active ones.
The aircraft was required to carry a SAR radar for a signals intelligence (SIGINT) capability, which normally would be two different segments of the ISR spectrum. Israel, for example, uses a specific version of the Gulfstream (Nachson) for passive electronic intelligence/ communications intelligence (ELINT/COMINT), while another Gulfstream operates with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar sensor.
Algeria, probably due to a lack of expertise, relied too heavily on Raytheon, which is a very capable sensor design and manufacturing company but is not renowned as a platform integrator. Unfortunately, Raytheon didn't understand soon enough that a Gulfstream does not generate enough power to feed all the sensors that Algeria required for its radar – SIGINT, COMINT and dual EO systems etc.
Raytheon subcontracted the whole job of integration to a company based in Oklahoma City with little knowledge of the Gulfstream environment and structure. The US aerospace giant subsequently discovered that the aircraft electrical generation was largely insufficient to power all the sensors required.
In reality, the Algerian Air Force should have opted for a larger Boeing-737 or Airbus-320 size aircraft to fulfil its requirement.
The Algerian Air Force does not appear to have learnt from the Beech-1900D MMSA saga and no one knows, three years on, when the aircraft will be delivered. They will be massively obsolete, since the aircraft do not encompass modern technology due to the heavy limitations imposed by the US State Department.
In 2014, Algeria launched a request for information (RFI) for the acquisition of five tactical ISR aircraft with provision to weaponise them. The intent was to use them in a tactical ISR role, where the target of opportunity could be engagement in an autonomous way.
This constituted an improvement tactically. Previously, ISR aircraft had been obliged to transmit all their data to a ground station without the possibility of engaging a time-critical target.
The Algerian MoD selected the Alenia MC-27J, which is a weaponised version of the tactical Transport C-27J operating with an ATK palletized 30mm gun. The C-27J has already been adopted by Morocco and Chad in its transport version.
However, according to one insider: "Algeria doesn't look to be benefitting from an advanced system in a net centric environment. It really needs an ISR platform that can provide, via a tactical datalink, an overview of the battlefield and a target cueing system for off-board weapon systems, like the newly acquired Mi-28NE Attack helicopter, for example.
"There is also no provision to have the ISR platform to work in an increasingly complex environment where manned and unmanned platforms operate together and share the same battle space."
Algeria clearly does not understand the benefits of real-time digital information exchange. Morocco, on the other hand, has adopted a Link-16 datalink system as the backbone to its current and future joint force operations.
Morocco is known to be reviewing its needs for its next generation of ISR aircraft, taking into account the threat posed by anti-access aerial denial (A2/AD) system – the S-400 SAM which its neighbour is looking to acquire.
Morocco now relies on a set of two reconnaissance satellites, provided by Astrium France, which can image any point in Algeria every two hours. This provides the RMAF with a huge targeting tool that can't be challenged by the Algerians, which means they can spy and designate a target in their neighbour's territory at ease – a tool much more powerful than putting an expensive radar with limited side views on a Gulfstream.
The difference between the two African foes is Morocco is completely focused on doing what is best for the defence of its country, while Algeria appears to be distracted by its commercial interests and not keeping up-to-date with the latest in military technologies.

242NewsBahamas: The Blockchain Craze.. and this weeks #242 Highlights
Your Weekly News & Updates delivered by

The BlockChain Craze...
Dear Readers,
This week we are going to write on the new BLOCK CHAIN craze...look for our comments on the budget next week.
Putting its MONEY where its MOUTH is, the Minnis Government seems intent on promoting Grand Bahama as the "tech" hub of the Caribbean. We are very pleased to see them pushing this island in every vein possible as the second city tries to recover from the ongoing recession of the last few decades.
We agree that the island, located only 55 miles from Florida, is not necessarily suited to be the Tourism mecca of Nassau, but rather, the ideal home for offshore industry: call centres, tech offices as well as the perfect second home market.
Late last week the Minister for Grand Bahama, Senator Kwasi Thompson, announced his office's plan to host the first BLOCK CHAIN and CRYPTOCURRENCY conference. Not only did they invite everyone in this global phenomenon to Grand Bahama, but they teased immigration reform to make working in The Bahamas easier - something many Bahamians, like GB's own out-spoken attorney QC Fred Smith has been asking for.
Read here about the BBCC event
So, what is Blockchain?
According to google dictionary: it is a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly.
And, what is Cryptocurrency?
According to google dictionary:a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.
Yep, you may be as confused as us, but this new "currency" is the fastest growing industry in the tech world and our country is getting on the band wagon now - and not later - which always seems to be our way.
So, if you live in Grand Bahama we suggest you get learning these new words, as we understand in June you will be inundated with FINTECHs (investors, entrepreneurs, wealth management executives, and financial ... 'Tech Heads'). We hope as the good Senator noted, "this is truly a defining moment for the future of the Grand Bahama Economy," said Senator Thompson. "The government is pleased to be spearheading this initiative and paving the way for a real digital revolution which will undoubtedly impact the lives of Bahamians in a positive way."
Mr. Speaker,
This is a landmark Budget. Indeed, it is arguably the most transformative Budget in the history of our nation. It is a Budget about finally putting an end to past practices of fiscal mismanagement and, instead, adopting an approach to the management of the fiscal affairs of the nation in the manner that they should be managed, that is, in a responsible, transparent and accountable way.

To the Residents of Golden Years Glen:
This is your monthly newsletter sharing the latest exciting happenings in our neighborhood. Yes, this January edition is a wee tardy, but our late editor, Jim Collardgreens, didn't survive the heart transplant from a squid. Jim was a multi-billionaire, but if only he'd listened to those who warned him against using the cheaper, but riskier, ISIS Suicide Bombers Survival Hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. His widow, BettySue Collardgreens, announced she will be wearing black in mourning until her wedding next week to famed heart surgeon Dr. Ali bin-Mohammed, formerly of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Bassoons at 56 Wrinkle Road announced that they are moving to an assisted living residence, God's Waiting Room, because "we just can't get our crutches to move fast enough during the Thursday Night Cloggers Marathon." Pete Mockingbird had announced that he was looking to "date a woman my own age."
Then he discovered "there aren't any." The fire caused by Missy Mongoose which destroyed more than a block was blamed on her lighting up a cigarette while still under her oxygen tent. She attributes it to "a senior moment." She should be back with us within the year. We are sad to report the demise of one of the neighborhood's more colorful characters, Major George "White Flag" Grenade, who attended the annual reunion with his fellow veterans of the 447th Artillery Brigade. While George was showing family members how to load a howitzer, he forgot it was already loaded.
A word of caution about the Fountain of Life at the end of Senility Circle. It has dried up. We do not take that as an ominous sign, but it does raise a point about the age of some of our residents. We seem to be getting older. When someone mentions "the turn of the century," meaning 1900, that's a clue. Even more so is when someone refers to 1863 as MDCCCLXIII. We like our little neighborhood of townhouses. It means no lawns to keep up, no children running through our hedges, no crime – except for the unfortunate double axe murder at the Shoestrings' Thanksgiving dinner after someone used "Trump" and "treason" in the same sentence – and a cozy togetherness as senior citizens. Still, we must admit that Father Time is creeping up on us. When the EMS ambulance has a reserved spot at our neighborhood's entrance, or you have 911 on speed dial and a majority of the residents have frequent flyer miles on LifeFlight, we know we have slipped a step.
Good news! A young (under 90) couple has moved in that doesn't have a disable tag on their rearview mirrors.
They seem to be a nice pair, although rumor has it that he is a reformed journalist, so don't talk politics, religion or anything else with them. They promise to remove their flock of pink flamingoes from their front porch shortly, but he claims the 10-foot wide satellite dish has been "grandfathered in," mainly because he's a grandfather. We have sent them a copy of the Homeowners Handbook underlining the part dealing with moats, loud music after 4:30 in the afternoon and prohibiting two or more walkers left on the porch. Also, we are reminding them that our mailman, Matt "Misdirected" Morgan cannot leave plasma deliveries in the mailbox during hot days.
In other news, your board of directors is considering a motion to ban cable hookups that carry any channel except Fox News. It has also been suggested that the board see if Golden Years qualifies for federal funds to erect a gate at our entrance, but one member noted that they had tried that before, but no one could remember the code. At a recent board meeting, it was unanimously approved that residents depend on Medicare and Social Security, but are totally opposed to high taxes and the federal government meddling in our lives. When Gary "Pops" Gary said this smacks of hypocrisy, he was voted off the island and onto an ice floe. The neighborhood's Christmas decorations will be taken down soon, but we need a volunteer who can climb a ladder. The board saw no reason to put up Halloween decorations since we don't allow children. This year's Wife Swap Weekend has been called off due to a lack of interest. Finally in board news, the next meeting will be held sometime in the future, but an angry discussion erupted as to how far in the future, given that half the members are on life support.
This just in: We have more news about that new couple that just moved in, that burned-out journalist and his wife.
Rupert Rangoon reports that they are watching that liberal commie station, Houston Public Television. Rupert knows this because he was out walking his pet turtle, Speedo, and saw the TV set through a window. "It was right there for anyone to see," Rupert said. "All I had to do was go to their garage, stand on a car bumper and lean way over and brace myself on their water heater. I mean it was blatant!"
Attention homeowners! There have been reports of a peeping tom on Coronary Corners. No one claims to have hired him. This month's AARP meeting will take up several important and timely subjects. These include Do Liver Spots Go With Onions?, Climbing Curbs, 10 Easy Ways to Foster Children's Guilt, and Where There's a Will – There's a Lawyer. A special guest was scheduled, Angela Aneurism, author of "How to Jog After 80." However, she was taken to intensive care, but happily still wearing her jogging suit. Some of you have asked about recovery efforts in Golden Years Glen after Hurricane Harvey. FEMA has assured us that clean-up will begin shortly. Janice Jaundice reminds everyone that "Harvey was nothing like the Galveston Storm." Well, that's all from your Golden Years Glen.
Just remember the observation from Maurice Chevalier: "Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative."

Fort Collins, Colorado is a vibrant, diverse, student-friendly city, and a great place to raise a family. If you're thinking of moving to Fort Collins or are considering investing in real estate there, it's important to know what the experts are saying about the outlook for Fort Collins' real estate forecast in 2019 and beyond.
Fort Collins real estate forecast: Home value, home prices
The median home value in Fort Collins is $369,100, according to Zillow. Fort Collins home values have gone up 6.6% over the past year, and Zillow predicts they will rise an additional 3.1% within the next year. The median price of homes currently listed in Fort Collins is $396,707.
Windermere president Eric Thompson and Seattle-based company economist Matthew Gardner used all available statistics to create a noteworthy real estate forecast for Fort Collins: a picture of steady economic growth, an inevitable recession that's still a couple of years away, a continued home shortage, and, of course, rising home prices. They showed how the average price of single-family homes in Northern Colorado has broken new records in recent years: while it was at the $300,000 price point in 2014, the average in Loveland and Fort Collins broke $400,000—slightly higher than Zillow's results. Although the 40-year average annual growth rate of home prices is 5.3% in Loveland and Fort Collins, Thompson predicted a 7% increase in 2018 for Loveland and 8% for Fort Collins.
According to Gardner's real estate forecast for Fort Collins' local market right now, interest rates are set to rise. While he acknowledged mortgage rates are still under 4%, he predicted they would rise to 4.3 or 4.4% by the end of 2018. With US home values having fallen by more than 20% nationally from their peak in 2007 until their valley in late 2011, many homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages—meaning they owe more than their home is worth. 6.2% of Fort Collins homeowners are currently dealing with delinquent mortgages. The percent of delinquent mortgages in Fort Collins is 0.3%—lower than the national value of 1.6%.
Low inventory: real estate forecast
Fort Collins is still suffering from low inventory. A report from Nationwide shows that Seattle and Denver are tied for the lowest number of available homes for sale, at .98 months of inventory, meaning that if no new homes went up for sale, every home currently available would be snapped up in under a month. Fort Collins is not much better off at 1.24 months' worth of inventory.
According to Larry Kendall of The Group Real Estate, rising home prices could begin to plateau as supply and demand even out too: rather than increases of between 9 and 12% as has been the case in recent years, Kendall predicts increases of 5 to 7%. Larimer County could be either a seller's or buyer's market—depending on sales price. As it happens, homes going for $700,000+ are staying on the market longer, while homes selling for $400,000 or under are still being bought up quickly. Kendall says that while inventory supply for homes priced at $400,000 or less is under two months, homes in the $700,000 range are in the 9-month supply range.
More apartments becoming available in Fort Collins
A real estate forecast by The Group Real Estate predicts the number of homes sold in the Fort Collins region will be more than 11,000–500 more than last year. That's in addition to the 3150 apartments under construction or recently opened, and another 4200 student-oriented bedrooms in the works for the area. Median rents in Fort Collins in the third quarter last year topped $1300, up about 2% from the same time in 2016, according to the quarterly Colorado Multifamily Housing Vacancy and Rental Survey. It also indicated that median rent for studio apartments in Fort Collins and Loveland was $965 in the third quarter and for two bed, two bath units, it was $1454.
While the springing up of new apartments does appear to be easing vacancy rates a bit, particularly in northwest Fort Collins, the city still has a lot of work to do to bring relief to its vice-tight rental market. The overall multifamily vacancy rate in Fort Collins improved to 3.7% in the third quarter of 2017, which is the highest percentage of vacant rental units the city has seen in 4 years, but is still well below the 5% mark commonly understood to indicate a balanced market.

What would you do with an extra $700 per month?
If someone handed you an extra $700 cash, you would be pretty excited, right? Maybe you would splurge a bit; go out for dinner, or buy that new pair of shoes, or golf clubs you have been dreaming about?
For many who are empty nesters, semi-retired or retired, life is all about budgets, and fun extras become rare or non-existent. Many older Americans do not have enough money saved to comfortably retire and maintain a lifestyle they were accustomed to living.
Here's the next question: What if someone gave you an extra $700 per month-- every single month? That is a game changer. Imagine the possibilities…
If you have an extra room in your house, finding a compatible housemate typically offers a homeowner an average rent of $700 per month. That is $8,400.00 per year. This is equivalent to a part time job, without having to leave your house – plus you have the added benefits of company, someone to watch the house when you are gone, etc.
Of course, no one has any trouble spending extra money, but here are seven ways you could smartly use that extra rent income:
1) Pay down your mortgage
2) Attend to your health: go to the dentist, get preventive care, etc
3) Invest in making your home "aging in place" friendly. Use the extra cash to set up your bathroom with grab bars, widen doorways, or install a ramp to the front door. These little things can make a big difference in keeping your home accessible through the years to come.
4) Have some "mad money" for a shopping spree or special meal out with family and friends. It's amazing how wonderful it feels to treat others.
5) Brighten up a room in your house with a fresh coat of paint or some new pillows.
6) Save all your rent money and go on one big vacation! Time to hit that bucket list! Your rental income could subsidize a wonderful trip to faraway fantasy trips.
7) Become the philanthropist you always wanted to be. Find a good cause that's dear to your heart, and share some of your earnings with your favorite charity. It just feels great to pay it forward!

Filed under "Your Tax Dollars At Work":
"Despite President Obama's pledge to retain more hi-tech jobs in the U.S., a federal agency run by a hand-picked Obama appointee has launched a $22 million program to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in South Asia.
"Following their training, the tech workers will be placed with outsourcing vendors in the region that provide offshore IT and business services to American companies looking to take advantage of the Asian subcontinent's low labor costs.
"Under director Rajiv Shah, the United States Agency for International Development will partner with private outsourcers in Sri Lanka to teach workers there advanced IT skills like Enterprise Java (Java EE) programming, as well as skills in business process outsourcing and call center support. USAID will also help the trainees brush up on their English language proficiency. "

The Varsity Entrepreneur
by Trina Spear
Imagine a high school football field. Fall 2009. Division Championship. Sean Murphy, starting quarterback at Riverview High, throws the 80-yard touchdown pass to win the most exciting game of his young career. Sean has been a very successful quarterback exploiting this exact play, the long pass. As the clock runs up, the team hoists Sean onto their shoulders and carries him around the field. As he struts through the halls, he feels the eyes on him and grins as people pat him on the back. He is on top of the world – he is the star on the football team, has earned straight A's, has recently received football scholarships to Northwestern, Wisconsin and Harvard and to top it all off, his girlfriend was just voted homecoming queen.
The following month Sean finds himself in a tough position playing for the Conference Championship: down by 4 points, 45 seconds left in the game, forty yards away from the end zone. Unlike in other games, worry and uncertainty consume him. Thoughts pour through his head – what if I mess up the play, what if I get injured, what if my girlfriend leaves me for a lacrosse player, what if I lose my scholarships? Coach Kypriss pulls Sean aside to go over the upcoming play. He tells Sean to throw the ball down the field to wide receiver, Bobby Hunter. Sean slams his helmet onto his sweat drenched head and walks back onto the field, confident on what needs to be done. He has executed this play a million times. Fourth down and five. Hut hut hut. The ball is snapped into Sean's hands. As he runs left to get into position, he notices Bobby is covered on all sides. Sean quickly shifts his mindset from the potentially blocked pass to other opportunities on the field. Sean dodges two line backers and catches a glimpse of wide receiver, Jonathan Warren. He quickly pitches the ball to Jonathan, who runs the distance for the touchdown. Riverview prevails.
Although very few areas in life mirror the types of fanaticism surrounding high school football, I hope to make the comparison that start-ups feel much of the same trepidation that Sean felt once they attain success. Success can be much more stressful than failure. Once you are the big time quarterback on the best team or the founder of the top company on TechCrunch, everyone is looking to see your next move which makes that move appear riskier than it actually is. The stakes are higher and success can paralyze entrepreneurs if they do not use it to fuel continual improvement.
In this vein, it is easy for successful athletes and entrepreneurs to get stuck on a path and not adapt, to try to shift the environment to fit a business instead of the other way around. Businesses like Chegg and foursquare have gained much initial success – lots of angel and VC money, millions of users, and extraordinary PR. At this crucial point, these companies, among others, should not fear moving away from their core businesses if they need to in order to remain competitive. In the end, if the right move is for Chegg to shift into the digital business, they should do so and not fear the sunken investment made up until this point. If the right move is for foursquare to target and monetize local merchants, they should do so and not worry about alienating their current user base. Not all is lost in changing directions – these start-ups are much better positioned to find new opportunities given their experience, current set of overlapping capabilities, and better understanding of the changing landscape.
I urge entrepreneurs at whatever stage they are in to continue to improvise – it's the only way to keep winning the game!

This is likely the reason why she is taking those images and making t-shirts out of them, headless ones to be exact. That's right you can now get the classic corny boardwalk style "headless bikini tees" but with Kylie Jenner's body in a bikini that matches the color of the shirt bearing her frame.
Because this is hilarious, great, and also confusing, we have multiple feelings about it. First, there is no corny trend that the Kardashian/Jenner's won't at least attempt to make cool. Second, if you ever wondered what it's like to be Kylie Jenner, this could give you a small glimpse (just kidding). Regardless, if you want to walk around with Kylie's bikini body on your shirt, it's part of the new merchandise she'll be dropping on KylieJennerShop.com on August 24 at 9 PM EST. If this is anything like her other releases, it will be sure to sell out quickly. Set your alarms, Kylie lovers.

Click the image to see how our fits work for different body types.
We know employees come in all shapes and sizes. There's really no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to quality uniform and logo apparel. At Lands' End Business you'll find most outfitting styles available in a complete range of sizes, from women's petite to plus and men's regular to big and tall sizes. However, in addition to offering the widest range of sizes in the branded apparel industry, we also recognize that clothing needs to fit just right. It's why you'll find select women's polos in gently shaped, feminine fits; and a choice of traditional and tailored fits in men's polos and dress shirts. We've also added men's and women's fit guides to our product pages to make it even easier to find the fits and sizes you need. In fact, building for different body types starts with our design team, and includes fit testing each style on real men and women—not fashion models.
But don't just take our word. Our customers recognize the effort we make to ensure each and every team member has the right fit and size in their logo apparel. As Anne Black, Compliance Specialist at Middleton, WI-based engineering consultants Mead & Hunt points out: "We're all shaped and sized differently. Lands' End Business is focused on taking care of their customers and making sure they get whatever they need whenever they need it, and making sure it's right."

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
I came across this while checking out current review times for iOS apps. Super fun idea--especially if you live in a grid-based city with small blocks or somewhere with a lot of open area. Going to try it out tonight--see if I can run in the shape of the Product Hunt logo. :)
Upvote (3)Share
@bjamut ha, loved that idea! So much so I gave the suggestion a try earlier this afternoon, and attempted to run a pattern in the shape of the great Product Hunt kitty logo, here's the result (it actually didn't come out too bad, I captured the ears pretty well): http://www.gps-a-sketch.com/?f=k... This was in the Presidio of SF, to be exact at Ft. Winfield Scott where there's a big open and empty field that makes it easier to draw patterns. Just like with the real sketching toy it takes a bit of practice to draw shapes. Most days I prefer to just have the app going in the background during a bike ride or long walk, I simply like seeing the random shapes that get drawn regardless of any planned route.
Awesome find, @bjamut, and if you etch-a-P, please share. 😀 This reminds me of @willydennis' Hopscotch.
@rrhoover Well, here's the route I took: And here's what I got: Bummer. @joro1: Perhaps it isn't tracking when the phone screen sleeps? I'm not sure where it lost the information, but you must not be tracking absolute GPS location, but rather relative location. Are you throwing away data if you don't know how the user got to a specific location? I still love the idea! I'm looking forward to updates so I can properly "etch-a-P".
@bjamut @rrhoover thanks, and thank you @bjamut for giving the app a try, very much appreciate the feedback. GPS-A-Sketch works in the background as long as you leave it in drawing mode. It is however designed to minimize battery drain and will eventually shut off if it doesn't see any new motion. Drawing is based on our own custom algorithm (rather than any existing 3rd party map API), i.e.: DISTANCE between 'Position A -----> Position B' X DIRECTION (angle) between 'Position A -----> Position B' The coordinates are scaled to the screen and displayed as a new line. New coordinates from the GPS draw another new line, and so on. I took a shot at the PH Kitten yesterday, and tried a simple letter "P" this afternoon. e.g. The screen caps on the left are from GPS-A-Sketch (generated with the app's own algorithm) and on the right in RunKeeper (via Google maps API?). With short distances in an outdoor space and with good GPS signal you can pretty much trace a map, but if you travel longer distances or if there are a lot of GPS samples the images do become more abstracted. The app's collecting and saving all GPS samples during a drawing session, so these could (and probably should) be filtered and processed through the e.g. Google or Apple map APIs to make more precise drawings. The goal is for the app to feel similar to a real Etch-A-Sketch, walking biking or running the equivalent of turning the toy's knobs. I had thought using our own custom algorithm would produce more interesting drawings. But the feedback I've been receiving definitely correlates with @bjamut 's experience earlier today, i.e. the app would be more fun if there was at least an option for less abstracted mapping and more accurate drawing.
Love the idea. You have to move a little farther than I would have thought to get the line to move, but that's not necessarily a bad thing--it encourages more exercise. Also, I find myself wishing there was a mode that showed an overlay of the map where others' drawings were made. BTW, I really like how the interface looks like it was made with a marker--it adds to the nostalgia. Nice job on the app.
@zimmru thanks for the comments, especially appreciative of your noticing the UI/UE graphics, they're literally hand drawn with crayons & colored pencils (and felt tip markers). I sometimes take heat for that unusual design aesthetic ("It looks like my 5 year old draw it", I hear that a lot -- which of course I take as the best kind of compliment!). It does require about 30m/100' of walking/running/biking (depending on accuracy of GPS at the user's current location) to draw a new line. I had thought about adding e.g. a control slider in Settings that allows more precise control over the distance (and time) required to draw a new line, but I also like the bare bones simplicity of the app as is. The overlay of a real map (and/or allowing users to plan their drawing route on real maps) is another great suggestion, a feature I'm very tempted to add.
Thank you, Ben and Ryan! The sketching algorithm itself has a few surprises built in, no two routes will ever be exactly alike. Just as in the real sketching toy there's some skill, art, and serendipity involved in creating the perfect sketch. We're busy adding new features to GPS-A-Sketch which make it even more useful as an exercise app, e.g. displaying distance & duration; and an Apple Watch version is coming soon that allows remote/2nd screen access (handy when running or biking, or any time it's inconvenient to stop/start a new sketch from the iPhone). Questions, comments, and suggestions are very welcome (here on PH or directly at email@example.com).

Oh wow that's a lot. It's been really crazy at the mtc. Fist this laptop is missing a bunch of keys so it's hard to type.
The flight to England was super long and I was able to sleep but not very well, and I got the airport I found the phones but the phone card wasn't working so I couldn't call. But when I got to the mtc we were able to email which was nice to let you know that I got here. Then the rest of the day we were running around handing people stuff and unpacking. Then later that night we got our companions but mine wasn't going to show up till tomorrow. So that was just a super long day. Starting the next day we went to all our classes and things. My companion showed up. His flight got cancelled a bunch of times. So his name is Elder McDaniel and the rest of my "District" is interesting. We have 3 elder companions and one sister companions. The sisters are my age and the rest of these boys are all younger. So it's been interesting with them and how they act.
Oh ah today… my camera slipped out of my hands and fell. So it may have broke… so I'm going to send it home cause there isn't a wal mart around here at all. I kept asking about a Walmart but they told me there isn't one around here. Plus I left the Walmart thing that allows you to take it back and get it fix at home. Should be on the shelves in my room. Sorry But I did get a bunch of pictures of things up till now… so I'll figure it out. It was accident and it's really upsetting that I can't take pictures now for a while. Maybe I'll find some really cheesy camera to take pictures.
But anyways, we have been learning a lot, and I mean a lot. Every day were studying and praying and studying. But not as bad as college classes. This is really easy. The mtc isn't that bad and we go over stuff and I get it, cause I know it. But the other elders are struggling really bad. I'm glad I took a year cause these boys are having such a hard time with home sickness and stress, and I'm over here just bummed about my camera.
At the mtc we also do teachings investigators kind of thing. Our teacher acts like an investigator and we go in and teach them. And our one teacher Bro Wilford acts like everyone he met on his mission in South Africa so of course every time we meet with him, it's some super depressing story and him just looking at us and asking how will god help him. It's hard but I think I've done a good job cause in the end he wanted to know more.
Ahh there are a lot immature boys here that act like high schoolers and not like missionaries, and they don't seem to understand the respect they should give.But other that everything is going great. I just want to hit the mission field already.
Oh I also had to give a talk in sacrament first Sunday here. They give out the topic a few days before and just randomly call our missionaries to talk. So I got randomly called to give a talk and it went well. So I'm going to send you my camera because I don't know where to get it fixed here, and it's upsetting cause it was a totally accident and it really just happened this morning. As I was pulling it out of the bag and I just turned it on and I got bumped and it fell hit the floor and now it's broken. I might be able to find one those cheesy film cameras and take pictures that way for the next while, but I'll figure it out. I guess I'll wait till I hear back from you and dad of what to do. Hope everything is okay. I'm having fun and I just can't think of what to say other than that I'm just praying and studying all day every day. Don't really do much in the mtc, but the mtc isn't bad so far. Only thing bad is the elders and they just don't seem ready for the mission life, but they are all getting better. I'll make sure next time I email I write everything out better! I can't wait to hear from you. I've been writing Alex letters every night so those should be getting to him next week!

Brisbane Courier, Saturday 13 September 1902, p. 5
The Hon. John Douglas, C.M.G., Government Resident at Thursday Island, returned to Queensland on Friday evening last, after a holiday trip to England. Mr. Douglas was for many years a conspicuous figure in the political life of this State, being at one time Premier, and his views upon certain questions of the day which he very courteously gave a representative of this paper at Riviera, North Quay, yesterday will be read with interest. At the outset, it may be said that Mr. Douglas seems to have benefited in health by his trip. He is robust and fresh-looking, and all his physical nobility and charm of manner are with him just as they were when some twenty-five years ago he led the Parliament of Queensland with honour and distinction.
Mr. Douglas, without any affectation or tho "fume of little minds" on the subject of being interviewed, at once began to speak of his trip. "It was a pleasure trip," he said. "I went to see my friends, and saw them all, and was delighted to think that they were pleased to see me. I had a charming time, and am glad that I am permitted to come back again to live in this good old country, which is really now my own country." Mr. Douglas spoke with the enthusiasm ono notices in so many returned Queenslanders.
"I was in London," he said, "during the time of excitement regarding the King's illness. It was a terrible disappointment to everyone in London, for London had made up Its mind to have a supreme show. Londoners like a show. In my early life London was a very steady-going place, and people did not care for display; at least they affected not to do so. But they go in for show now, and appreciate it. The King is personally very popular. He is very tactful, and deserves all the personal goodwill which he secures. It is really the personal liking for him which is at the bottom of his great popularity. I had an Invitation to attend at the Abbey for the Coronation, but the postponement of the ceremony prevented me from being there. I could not remain longer in the face of all the changes that are taking place. I did not know what they would do with me; but they must have someone at Thursday Island, and I do not know if there is anyone who knows the work there better than I."
Mr. Douglas returned to Australia by way of the Cape and Hobart. He was very pleased with Cape Town, but disappointed with Tasmania. "I expected to see more cultivated country there," he said. "I found it very rough between Launceston and Hobart. Tasmania does not seem to be a very go-ahead place, and though the climate is delightful, I was very glad to get into the Queensland temperature again. From the Cape to Hobart we scarcely once saw the sun, and we were down in the Roaring Forties; as far as 48 deg. south, and had snow on the deck several times. On the ship wo had a number of Immigrants for New Zealand; a fine lot of people, full-paying passengers. Our ship, the Paparoa, like the other New, Zealand boats, is a line vessel, and passengers are very comfortable."
Discussing the drought, Mr. Douglas said that he had heard a great deal about it, but he has great faith in Queensland soon pulling round. "I believe that Queensland will come to be a big wheat exporting country," he said. "When the Burnett and other splendid lands are closely settled, we shall be exporting a lot of wheat. I stated that at the annual Queensland dinner in London; a dinner which nearly all Queenslanders attend, and where I was able to meet many old friends, including some of our South African warriors, who had a very hearty reception, as they have everywhere."
Asked to give an expression of opinion on the Imperial Conference in London, Mr Douglas said: "I don't think much has come of it, but I believe that a growing good feeling has been stimulated by it. Public men in England, like Mr. Chamberlain, had an opportunity to know exactly what the mind of our public men is. There is an idea in England that we should contribute largely to the Imperial, military forces. I do not think that will come about, and believe that as long as we prepare to protect ourselves, and show our vitality and give assistance in the time of trouble, that that is as much as can be expected at present in the way of Imperial Federation. But no doubt the Imperial federation feeling has immensely increased, and is predominant at the present time."
"Amongst the changes I observed, especially in the provincial cities of England and Scotland," said Mr. Douglas, "was the marked improvement made In the sanitary arrangements. You can have no conception of it in that respect. There are lavatories everywhere, and on a most complete scale. The London County Council and tho municipal bodies in the provinces have contributed very much to that. Public convenience is carefully studied by the provision of underground lavatories in the streets, and I noticed that more perhaps than anything else in the large cities. I only wish we were up to the same standard of comfort, which induces, I believe, cleanliness and decency, it is the same at all the railway stations.
Mr. Douglas was not inclined to talk, very freely upon the pearl shelling question. He said: "I saw several leading men in Melbourne, and I gathered that they are prepared to meet the actual conditions of the case. What I believe they wish to avoid is the filtering of Asiatics in any considerable number into Australia, so that they can keep control over them. Otherwise, I take it the public men of the Commonwealth, as far as I can judge, will be willing to deal with these matters from a common sense point of view, without seriously disturbing existing interests. I may add, in connection with the matter, that the Thursday Island yield has been for the past few years very good, taken on the whole."
Upon the question of retrenchment in Queensland, Mr. Douglas expressed himself thus: "I suppose there will be a serious reduction all round here, and the Ministry are quite right to make it, so long as they do not imperil the efficiency of the Government service, which has been of a very high character."
Mr. Douglas was asked to give his views on the subject of the agitation at Thursday Island, respecting the operation of the Factories and Shops Act. He said: "It has been represented that the action has been "taken in consequence of a recommendation in one of my reports. That I most emphatically deny. I have not referred to it; but there are a number of small traders at Thursday Island, and I can conceive that the closing of their shops in the evening, when most of the business is done by the residents, will cause them some loss, but that is a, matter which I believe is before the Government. It has been represented to me from Thursday Island that the hardship is being seriously felt. I am not informed fully on the subject, and I must reserve my opinion; but I unhesitatingly say I have not recommended tho action myself. Mr. Farquhar, one of the leading pearlshellers is expected, down by the next Japanese boat, and I believe he is charged with making representations to the Government on this subject.''
"I saw Sir Henry Norman in London" said Mr. Douglas," and he expressed himself very warmly regarding Queensland and all his old Queensland friends. I spent an afternoon with Lord and Lady Lamington, at Westminster, and it happened to be the day on which Lord Salisbury's resignation was announced, so we went to' the House of Lords, and it was rather an interesting occasion. Lord Lamington has been spoken of as the future Governor at Ceylon, and I do not know how that may be, but Sir West Ridgeway, the present Governor, is returning to Ceylon for another year. Lord and Lady Lamington are very well and they were very kind. Sir Horace Toser is full of business, but I do not think favours the removal of the Agent-General's office to the city. Mr. Chamberlain is anxious that the different offices should be merged into a central office, under the Commonwealth. I rather doubt myself the wisdom of moving from Victoria-street, where the Colonial offices have been settled for many years, and where they are known and identified with the locality. If they go into the city they will have to pay to get anything like an equivalent to their present premises. It is suggested that the Agents-General should mix more with the business people and that they be regarded more as mercantile agents. How that will work remains to be seen. I rather suspect that they will notice a good deal of opposition from the present mercantile representatives of the state in the city.
This concluded the Interview.
