Where does the name Cab9 come from?
A Cab9 is a snowboard trick. In fact it's a "switch frontside 900", which in plain English means you hit a jump riding backwards and spin 2½ times before landing and riding off forwards. Easy!
The Cab9 in Cab9 Eyewear is a nod to our snowboarding roots, and as it's a technical trick that demands a high level of practice and skill, we feel in ties in well with our ethos of working hard to produce a well designed product. Apart from all that, we just think it sounds kinda cool!
How should I care for my Cab9s?
For protection, keep your Cab9s in the microfibre pouch provided when not in use. To clean, blow any dust off the lenses then clean with the microfibre pouch. You can also wash your Cab9s, just use warm water and a mild soap. Clean the frame and lenses by giving them a gentle rub between your fore finger and thumb. Rinse well and dry with the microfibre pouch or a soft, clean, lint free cloth to keep them looking new.
How can I speak to someone at Cab9?
If you'd like to get in touch, shoot us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, we aim to respond in less than 24 hrs.
I'm a retailer, how can I stock Cab9 products?

After getting my daughter off to school last Monday with a smile on my face, I returned home, sunk into my couch…and cried. Feeling sad, alone, overwhelmed and angry. Thoughts swirling in my mind so fast I can't keep track of one before another pops up. I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't want to be around anyone. I just want to sleep. Or watch Netflix and escape into another world. But life doesn't stop – even for someone battling a depressive episode like me. Several hours later I had to peel myself out of my comfort zone, shower, and head to work. I put on my smile, one foot in front of the other, and stumbled into my reality…
For the past 5 weeks or so, I've been in a bad place. That's really the only way I can describe it to anyone. After starting PT for tendonitis in my knee and being told not to run for at least 2 weeks, I decided that I should probably rest it entirely. So I didn't workout at all. Apparently even the couch to 5k running program was too much.
My knee jerk reaction was childish, I know (no pun intended). Instead of battling through this roadblock, yet another setback on my road to recovery, I mentally collapsed. I had no fight left in me. I was tired. I was angry. I was frustrated. I literally just gave up.
At the same time, I was moving up into a new role at work. Because of my mental state at the time, emotionally I was a wreck as well. When I feel overwhelmed, I retreat. When I retreat, the thoughts in my head multiply and get much louder. It's harder to keep the negative ones out.
I had my second panic attack in the last 10 months and the first that I experienced in the middle of the night; it woke me up at 1:00am. My sweet husband was half awake, but knew what was happening. He kept rubbing my arm every time I returned from the bathroom until either he fell asleep or I got up again. My side of the bed was wet with sweat. It took me a couple of hours for my emergency meds to kick in and for me to calm down and fall asleep.
This intense feeling of panic stayed with me for the next 6 days. Almost a week of struggling with daily tasks, with conversation, with working, with putting on an act for my daughter so she wouldn't be worried. That week I was in bed by 8:30pm and dragged myself out when I absolutely had to. Through some act of God, I moved past the anxiety finally and returned to my somewhat normal self.
But I was still depressed. No exercise, no desire to watch what I ate, no desire to be on Facebook and see all my friends running, working out, etc. So much of my #fitfam I met on social media – common interests and people brought us together and helped us stay motivated and inspired. Again, I realize my thinking is childish. I realize that I do have control over how I react to my situation and that I can let it define me or not.
I totally let it define me. 100%.
Deep down, I knew at some point I would turn a corner. I always do. I just had to do it my way. I had to be ready in my own "aha" moment. As I lay on the couch last Monday just like I had every day for the last several weeks, I literally had no desire to do anything. Even recognizing at that very moment that I needed to switch gears or face more weight gain, more sluggishness, more unhappiness…
I just didn't give a shit.
I saw my surgeon a few days ago. I told him the pain I was still feeling just to run across my backyard. I told him I'd been resting for weeks, the tendonitis pain was gone, but my knee isn't right. I told him I wanted another MRI. He agreed, although he wasn't sure what it was going to show us. He wasn't sure what was going on and that at this point, he didn't want to scope me again and take a look.
He told me to see a guy at Luke's Locker that would fit me for shoes. I told him they recently gave me the "A-Okay" to continue wearing the kind I had been wearing for years – just a neutral shoe. But he was adamant for me to see this one guy. So, I agreed. He also wanted me to get on an Alter G treadmill. You're weightless as you run, so you can work on form; plus the obvious – no pounding on my knee. I got scheduled for next Thursday on this crazy machine.
After my husband went with me to see this guy at Luke's Locker, I could feel my energy shifting. Turns out I wasn't in the right shoe. He pointed out several things to Jim that he could help me work on. We talked a lot about the way I should train, the way our human bodies were meant to run, and that the less I wear shoes in general, the better for my hip alignment, which affects my knee. He confirmed to us that because of the functional movement emphasis that CrossFit workouts offer, we should absolutely be sticking with them. He was a huge fan of Kelly Starrett, another one of Jim's favorites for mobility work, and told me if I were to work on my left shoulder and my lat mobility, that my right hip and knee would benefit because of the way the shoulder and hip work in opposition when we run #duh
I have been in a bad place. But, I feel like I'm seeing a little light at the end of a tunnel. I'm not out of the woods yet, but the fact that I did a workout this morning is step #1. With a lot of time I've had to think, to read, & to fight through my emotions, I've re-prioritized. I've grown yet again.
I have to do what's best for me, not for anyone else. I have to put myself first, even though it's really, REALLY hard for me to do that.
I wanted to share my reality because I know there are women out there who have gone through or are going through something similar. It might be your best friend or your sister. Depression hides. Anxiety hides. Mental illness is a silent threat. But we cannot trivialize it. It's real.
For those who don't understand it, I know it's difficult for you as well. My husband is one of those people. But what he doesn't realize is that he is my center. He has seen me at my worst and still loves me. He cannot lead me out of depression, but he can walk with me every step by my side. And that is all I can ever ask for.
To those of my #megsmiles friends who reached out to me, thank you. I appreciate you very much. I will be okay; I'm on my way.
If you or someone you know is battling with mental illness, please know there is help available. Visit www.nami.org for information.

When we first saw all the promotions for Nike's new Rose Gold FuelBand, we weren't sure if some street style bloggers stole a sample or something and shot a few pics. They're so unlike anything Nike has ever done before, so it was pretty obvious that the brand wanted to target a different market.
This new FuelBand is all about blending in, and attracting women with fashion sense. We can clearly tell from the ads that you should be able to wear it will all your jewelry and any kind of outfit that you would wear normally. It's part of Nike's Metaluxe collection, which will eventually feature the product in several different colors. The FuelBand retails for $169, and it's available in stores and online.

Staff working on the high profile government schemes to help families now have a qualification to work towards.
The Early Intervention and Family Support diplomas, at a range of differing levels, are to be launched by SFJ Awards following discussions with sector employers.
The qualifications have been developed in response to there being no externally validated or accredited qualification at a senior practitioner level that supports the multi-agency and multi-disciplinary approach these programmes require.
At the same time, those professionals working in the area had no way of demonstrating their knowledge, skills, practices and values so limiting their continuous professional development and career progression.
It is thought at least 300 family support workers will undertake the qualification in the first year alone.
To find out more about the qualification, call 0114 231 7379 or email email@example.com

This week at ScrapTiffany our assignment was Naked Chipboard. When we get the assignment we get a prompt like that, no explanation and usually amongst the DT we don't really talk about how we interpret it. I love that. It keeps it fun to see what everyone comes up with each week.
I finished up my project Saturday, and was checking in at ScrapTiffany and saw a discussion on the challenge. So my interpretation is probably in the minority, but it was "naked" when I started. LOL!
I had so much fun trying to think of different ways to use my chipboard. I have 2 large baskets full, so I had lots to work with.
I embossed a rectangle with my Cuttlebug and painted it. Then tipped off the embossing with a glaze pen then stitched to the card base. The flowers were both painted. The red was painted, stamped with a glue pad and then flocked over the stamped image. The yellow flower was outlined with glaze pen. The stem was misted with spray ink.
Head on over to ScrapTiffany today and Friday to see what the ladies have come up with for using your naked chipboard. There are lots of fun ideas over there. And if you are inspired to play "naked" send your project to Tiffany at firstname.lastname@example.com.
And I will leave you today with some Sunday sweetness, my two boys:
I just love this sweet guy. Jackson is rowdy as can be and completely sweet at the same time.
My other sweetie pie. Nicholas doesn't nap anymore, he usually just crashes somewhere when he gets tired. Yesterday it was as if he was go, go, go and put his head down and was out just like this. He slept like that for over an hour.
I have a dentist appointment this afternoon, the only upside is I will be home earlier instead of working until 8:00. Off to work now. Have a great Monday!Tags: Cards, Jackson, Nicholas, ScrapTiffany

The most impressive feature of the iPhone 5S is the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It is a convenient security tool that makes it easier to unlock the iPhone, compared to using a 4-digit PIN code. If you use a 4-digit PIN code, Touch ID will be convenient. It also allows purchases from iTunes and the App Store without having to type in your Apple ID password.Setting up Touch ID is fairly straight forward. Just go to Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID, then go through the fingerprint enrollment procedure. Here are some things that you should remember.
1.Scan your finger upside down, if you want. When you enroll your fingerprint, the directions make it seem as if you have to line up your finger in a certain orientation, but in reality, the Touch ID sensor has 360-degree readability. So, you can easily enroll your fingerprint in the opposite direction.
2.Five fingers max, but use less for performance. You can store up to five fingers in Touch ID, but remember that the more fingerprints you store, the longer it will take Touch ID to identify which finger you're scanning. Just one finger print gives you enough protection.
3.Recognize your finger easily. If you enrolled multiple fingers, but didn't label them, you can easily identify which is which by scanning them in Touch ID Settings. When you scan one of your fingers, the matching print will briefly be highlighted from the list.
4.You have five tries, not three. When attempting to unlock the iPhone 5S, you'll get a passcode prompt after three failed scan attempts. You can choose to enter your passcode here, but you actually have two more attempts before you're forced to use your passcode.
5.Cover the home button. Touch ID is supposed to learn and gradually improve its recognition of your fingerprints. However, if you're having problems with consistency, make sure you're covering the entire home button. The feature works much better when you cover it completely.

Categorising brands and their features is a much written-on subject that has really found its traction over the past 30 years. New theories and perspectives constantly seem to find their way into our media folder, with a great range of usefulness and complexity to them. One that recently came across our desks was one with an admirable simplicity that paradoxically got us thinking.
Consider an average high-school class, the one that you yourself attended a few years back. Now, consider the different kids that made up your class. There are usually four ki(n)ds;
There are, of course, the cool kids. The ones with the newest phone and the flashiest shoes, and they seem to be good at almost anything. Overall, there aren't that many of them, and there shouldn't be as they wouldn't be as 'special'. But they certainly give the sparkle to the classroom. Then there is a large group of 'normal' kids. They make up the general population and set the tone for the class, in terms of the overall study level, what to wear, say, do, etc. They are the ones that are described in the teachers lounge when the headmaster asks on the status of the class. The third group is are the grey mousses. There is not that much that separates them from the second group, only that nobody seems to acknowledge that they are in fact there. Their level is often as good as any of the other kids, but they fail to reach any limelight due to the lack of any admirable accomplishments. Shifting from this third group into the second, or vice-versa, is as easy as that; doing something worth noticing (or lacking it). Finally, there are the eccentrics; often designated as such by their clothing and style, but also by their preferred activities, food preferences etc. They stand out in much the same way as the first group, although their eccentricities aren't of the aspirational kind as those of the cool kids. In some occasions, these weirdos grow up to become the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk of this world. Mostly they remain weirdos, underlining the ever thin margins between genius and crazy.
Fast Forward
Fast-forward about 20 years. Have a look in how this class has assimilated into our working population. Our group 1 has remained what it was; the cool kids. Think Harvey Specter here, the select few with the top jobs and dito lifestyle. Again, not a big group in terms of volume, but boy do they sparkle. Work hard, play very hard. Then we have group 2 and 3, which are pretty much the workhorse of the bunch. Group 2 will be your hardworking, hard earning and ambitious salarymen, always looking to make the next step in their career. Group 3 is working equally hard, maybe not making as much though, as they fall short in showing their added value to superiors thus halting their own path to a more prosperous career. Finally, the weird kids are still the weird kids, but their special skillset has often set them up for the higher echelons of the the working world. Again, their type isn't omnipresent, but they do tend to stand on the cutting edge of many new developments and companies and have the earnings to match their elitist position.
Brand Class
Say that this class of kids is really a certain market – automobiles, beer – and consider each brand in that market to be a kid in that class. Now you get it. And that is exactly what these guys at the Harvard Business Review did. They plotted brands on a map using the factors centrality (how representative is this individual of the entire group) and distinctiveness (the ability of the individual to stand out from the others) in a way that allowed these factors to complement rather than contradict each other.
This research is done with from an 'American' perspective. However most of the car- and beer brands that represent the different groups 1-4 will show the differences in brand image and their similarities with the kids in the classroom; Porsche & Guinness, BMW & Budweiser, Mazda/Hyundai, Tesla & Stella Artois. This Guinness activation campaign underlines their exclusiveness that has positioned them in Group 1, whilst this Budweiser add speaks to the larger public and emphasises operational excellence to underline their Group 2 image.
Our 'fast forward' shows the impact that ones brand has in terms of sales volume and pricing; Although distinctive (group 1 & 4), this does not always result in shipping large volumes, which again makes the product and brand more special. And the centralised groups 2 & 3 do appear to the larger masses, but do not always succeed in charging a higher price. The sweet spot does seem to lie somewhere between group 1 & 2, although positioning is also something that focusses on seeing a missing piece in an existing market and diving into that void.
Of course this is all far more complex that a classroom metaphor. But being able to explain branding in terms of children, cars and beer does make it accessible for a larger public. Because if you don't like children, cars or beer, than what good are you?
Come find us at The Hospitality Group Amsterdam or 's-Hertogenbosch to talk more about branding, but don't drink & drive here.

While the word "manufacturing" may conjure up the images of dark, cold factory floors of yesteryear for some, present day manufacturers are anything but staid. Manufacturing in the 21st century has become one of the most progressive and in many cases technology-oriented industries in existence.

Manufacturing 2025: How America is Back in Production
Jan 25, 2019 4:00:00 PM
It's no secret that the United States' once prominent and thriving manufacturing base has suffered over the past 4+ decades, as global competition eroded American competitive advantages. However, as global standards of living have improved and thereby increased the cost of overseas manufacturing, American manufacturers have embraced technology to regain competitive position. This adoption of automation, robots/cobotics, and data analytics have combined with manufacturing-friendly governmental policy to spark growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector. So what are these technologies and what do they project for the manufacturing sector at the quarter century milestone of 2025?

Do You Have a Legacy OEM Product?
Apr 1, 2016 9:38:00 AM
Read Time: 3 Minutes, 30 Seconds
Are any of your OEM products nearing obsolescence? It's important to take action on legacy
product lines before their obsolescence affects your bottom line. The only way to stop that from happening is to extend the life of your legacy product while reducing the costs of continued manufacturing (both direct and indirect costs).
Remember that many OEM products follow the 80/20 rule (or Pareto principle):
- 80% of your profits come from 20% of your production staff's efforts
- 80% of your product sales comes from 20% of your products
That means your legacy products could be taking up to 80% of your production time or floor space but only contributing to 20% of your revenue.
You have the potential to realize significant improvements in profitability by focusing on your most effective production efforts and eliminating work that doesn't contribute to your profits – either through Product Line Simplification (PLS) or outsourcing. The bottom line: You need to identify your legacy products early and take the appropriate action. Does your manufacturing company currently have legacy products on its assembly floor? Use these seven measures to find out:

Identifying Your Legacy Products To Maximize Profitability
Jul 22, 2014 6:00:00 AM
Profits are not gained when you're using too many valuable production resources on legacy products nearing the end of their product lifecycle. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the future growth and success of your company is dependent upon your discernment when it comes to legacy product obsolescence.
To maximize your profit potential, you need to know how to answer the following questions about the product lifecycle:
Topics: oem, legacy manufacturing
Why Your Contract Manufacturer Should Operate With An Open Book
Jul 16, 2014 9:22:00 AM
As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), when you choose to outsource to a contract manufacturer you must be certain that the contract manufacturer is producing your product at a reasonable overall cost and with the same quality your customers have come to expect.
When you have zero insight into your contract manufacturer's costs, pricing and profits, you are clueless as to whether they're giving you a fair quote or not.
Transparency is what creates true partnerships.
That's why your contract manufacturer should be offering your OEM company total transparency by opening their books to you willingly. Acting as an extension or satellite unit of your business, the right contract manufacturer gives you ample opportunity to review their direct material costs, direct labor costs, factory overhead costs and profit related to your outsource manufacturing program.
The following are the top three ways a contract manufacturer with an open-book policy is beneficial for your business:
1. Identifying Discrepancies In Material Costs Is Encouraged
When your contract manufacturer offers total transparency, you are able to spot any inconsistency in material costs right away. This safety net helps in the event you know how to direct the contract manufacturer to a more cost-effective source or one with able to deliver quicker.
If you noticed this discrepancy without an open-book policy, you'd likely assume the contract manufacturer is padding their margins and, in turn, you'd become skeptical of their business practices.
Legacy Products: The Basics Of The 80/20 Principle For OEMs
Jun 18, 2014 9:00:00 AM
When you have a product line that's continually shrinking gross margins or consistently lacking in sales, it is on the decline of the product lifecycle.
As the decision-maker at your OEM (original equipment manufacturer) company, when you have a legacy product on your hands, you need to take the best course of action.
Before eradicating the product from your manufacturing line via the product line simplification (PLS) methodology, you first need to determine if your legacy product is draining too many key assets or if it still has real market value.
This is where the 80/20 Principle comes into play for the OEM.

The easiest Instant Pot chili recipe ever and costs less than $10 total to make. Healthy pressure cooker dinner that even my kids go crazy over! We make this at least once a week and serve it as is topped with cheese or on top a bowl of rice.
I've been obsessed with my crockpot for years and my site is filled with tons of crockpot recipes but when I saw this new thing called the Instant Pot it got me curious. I use my rice cooker, slow cooker, and steamer on a weekly basis so having all 3 and more functions all in one appliance got my attention!! The first thing I cooked was some of the easiest Instant Pot chili ever, well because it's one of my most popular crockpot recipes and we just love it so much. It came out amazing and is now one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes, so easy too. Here's how you make it. (originally posted 1/17)
This was my first attempt making an Instant Pot recipe but this Instant Pot chili really is very user friendly.
- If you don't have an Instant Pot you can find one here.
- I first set it to sauté and when it beeped I put a bit of olive oil and my ground beef inside
- Then added some diced onions and in about 4 minutes it was browned
- Next, I added my other 4 ingredients, secured the lid, and pushed bean/chili button
- I have used high pressure too
I released the pressure valve at the top and once it was about done I opened the lid. It really did cook it well in just that short amount of time and softened the can of beans inside quite well.
I make this 5 ingredient crockpot chili recipe all the time but now that I have an Instant Pot it has saved me lots of time.
You can still set it for a longer time if you're going to be gone all day and use the slow cooker function on it but using the pressure cooker function makes it done really fast!
When I'm in a rush I make my Instant Pot chili this way:
- Set your Instant Pot to saute
- Add ground beef and onions
- Brown until most of pink is gone
- Add all other ingredients
- Put lid on, close steam valve
- Push pressure button
- Push pressure button again so it is on high
- Set time to 10 minutes (use + and – buttons to adjust)
- When done allow to naturally release (takes about 15 min.)
If you need to set it for the day and go follow the directions above but push the slow cooker setting instead of manual and pressure. It should automatically set to 4 hours total so it is still shorter than cooking in a traditional crockpot AND you don't have to dirty a pan on the stovetop to cook the meat beforehand.
You can also easily leave out the meat and make an easy vegetarian Instant Pot chili too with this. Either way, the fast or slower version tastes great, depends on how much time you have.
This is what you need to make our easy Instant Pot chili
- Ground beef
- Kidney beans (I usually use these)
- Diced tomatoes (I like these)
- Tomato sauce (this small can is perfect)
- Onion (optional)
- Spices
- Rice – here's how to make the perfect Instant Pot white rice
- or serve inside pressure cooker baked potatoes
Here's a video showing you how easy Instant Pot chili is to make:
We cook our pressure cooker chili at least 2-3 times a month, sometimes weekly.
It's one of our cheap Instant Pot recipes as well because all the ingredients run you under $10 and feeds all 5 of us.
If you love this, you should try a few of these other easy Instant Pot recipes:
- Instant Pot chili mac recipe
- Lucky New Year Instant Pot Hoppin John
- Pressure cooker chili with dry beans
- Fave Instant Pot red beans and rice
Tips for making the BEST pot of pressure cooker chili
- Use 1/2 lb. of spicy sausage and 1/2 lb. of regular sausage instead of ground beef. I'm telling you, this makes it amazing if you're okay with ground sausage
- this is how to defrost Instant Pot frozen ground beef in case you forgot to thaw it out the night before. 😉
- Load it up with diced onions and bell peppers
- they will soften as this cooks and brings a great flavor and texture to your chili
- Use a packet of chili seasoning – it creates a lot of flavor
- Put a wollop of cheese on top when your chili is done
Once you've got that covered you can move on with this printable recipe for Instant Pot chili with beans recipe
- This recipe can easily be doubled as you see here below
- I HIGHLY suggest you get a non stick pot as you see here!
- Directions for Crockpot Express chili are almost identical
- Press the manual pressure button – if you have one
- Cook for 15 minutes
- Do a quick release
- If you don't have a manual pressure button use the bean/stew button for 20 minutes
- Quick release
- Directions for Crockpot Express chili are almost identical
- I suggest using 1 lb. of spicy ground sausage and 1 lb. of regular sausage if you double this recipe
Can you substitute chicken for beef in chili?
- Yes just cut boneless skinless breasts in half
- Add this and all other ingredients into pot
- Set to high pressure for 10 minutes
- Shred chicken and serve (of course check to ensure meat is done in the middle)
If you are in need of Ninja Foodi chili instructions refer to the post here.
Instant Pot chili printable recipe is below.
Instant Pot Chili
- 1 lb ground beef 1/2 lb. spicy ground sausage + 1/2 lb. regular ground sausage is best if you like a ton of flavor and a bit of heat
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz, we prefer petite diced
- 1 can kidney beans 15 oz.
- 1 small can tomato sauce 8 oz.
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1/2 bell pepper diced, optional
- 2 tsp chili powder can omit or increase depending on spice level desired
- 1 tsp garlic powder (or instead of spices listed you can just add 1 packet of chili seasoning from the store)
- 1/2 c water
- 2 tsp Lawry's salt (omit if using chili seasoning packet from store)
- Set instant pot to saute and brown meat, add onions and bell peppers if desired. Cook until onions soften a bit. Drain if desired.
- Empty cans of beans, tomato sauce, water and diced tomatoes on top (do not drain cans before adding).. Add seasonings (or packet of chili seasoning from the store - suggested) and stir the top layers gently leaving most of the meat on the bottom (helps to avoid getting burn notification).
- If you have a bit of time to let it simmer hit the chili/beans setting and adjust the time to 20 minutes, this will make beans a bit softer.
- If you are in a hurry set it to manual, pressure, high for 15 minutes. The beans will be a bit more firm this way but still soft. Do a natural release.
- Done! Serve by itself with cheese on top or on top of rice or potatoes.

Despite strong opposition from both Georgia's citizens and its large and influential business community, the state's lawmakers have tried repeatedly in recent years to write gay discrimination into the books.
On Monday morning, Gov. Nathan Deal, a Republican, wisely rejected the latest effort, announcing that he would veto House Bill 757, which would allow businesses and nonprofit groups, including those that receive taxpayer funds, to discriminate not only against same-sex couples, but also against interracial, interfaith and even unmarried couples if they claimed their actions were based on their religious views.
Mr. Deal's decision was a welcome dose of levelheadedness and tolerance on the heels of the awful North Carolina law approved last week, which bars transgender people from using public restrooms that match their gender identity and prohibits cities from passing antidiscrimination ordinances protecting gay and transgender people.
The Georgia bill was one of the most aggressive versions of a type of discriminatory legislation that has gained favor among Republicans in Congress and statehouses around the country since the Supreme Court's decision last year legalizing same-sex marriage.
"I do not think we have to discriminate against anyone to protect the faith-based community in Georgia," Mr. Deal said in a statement. The veto, he said, will reaffirm "the character of our state and the character of its people," whom he described as "warm, friendly and loving."
The prospect of broad economic consequences to Georgia was also surely an important factor in the governor's decision. From the start, the bill came under intense attack from a coalition of hundreds of top companies based in Georgia or doing business there, including Coca-Cola, Delta, Google, Disney and Apple. The National Football League said it might reject Georgia's bid to host the Super Bowl, and major movie and television studios — which last year spent about $1.7 billion filming in the state — said they would take their productions elsewhere. On Sunday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that two business deals might have already fallen through as a result of the bill.
(The North Carolina law set off a similar backlash from businesses, including Dow Chemical, PayPal and the National Basketball Association.)
Supporters of the Georgia legislation added a provision that the law could not be invoked to protect discrimination that is already illegal under federal or state law. But that was a mostly empty gesture, since Georgia has no statewide laws protecting gays and lesbians, only local ordinances.
Lawmakers immediately called for an override of Mr. Deal's planned veto, saying that he had buckled under pressure from corporations and lobbyists. They should listen instead to Mr. Deal, a Southern Baptist, who early this month invoked biblical teachings to argue for more tolerance. "I hope that we can all just take a deep breath, recognize that the world is changing around us and recognize that it is important that we protect fundamental religious beliefs," he said. "But we don't have to discriminate against other people in order to do that."

Book Review Dilip Kumar (The Substance and the Shadow, An Autobiography) ~ by : Niilesh A Raje
Dilip Sahab is a compulsive reader and reads on all subjects including medicine. He once addressed a medical conference and all of them from the medical fraternity listened spellbound to his speech which was replete with information about the latest developments in the field. Nobody could tell that Dilip Kumar was an actor and that medicine was not his concentration.

Book Review ( Chanderi Soneri: Kalakaar Mulakhati Palikadech ) ~ by : Niilesh A Raje
Author Lalita Tamhane
Publisher Maitreya Prakashan
Pages 160
Price Rs 200/-
Author Lalita Tamhane was studying in school then when her Uncle's friend a palmist looked at her hand and predicted that as you grow up in age you (Lalita) would be an author of several books. Little did Lalita knew that those startling predictions would one day really come true? Today, it's matter of pride that Lalita Tamhane is an eminent journalist who has come up with her sixth book titled "Chanderi Soneri" as published by Maitreya Prakashan.
"Chanderi Soneri" Kalakaar Mulakhati Palikadech as the title goes the author has covered around 18 notable personalities ranging from Meena Kumari to Madhuri Dixit. A celebrity is not something that is restricted just to tinseltown it could be anyone for that reason from arts or corporate world. With her interactions with the personalities the author has tried to get the pulse of each one of them from closer angle and she has been instrumental to amplify her experiences with these celebrities by putting words to paper.
The personality covered in this book includes Kamal Amrohi, Saira Banu, Waheeda Rehman, Nutan, Tanuja, Smita Patil, Deepti Naval, Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Manik Verma, Kishori Amonkar, Anuradha Paudwal and Gautam Rajadhyaksha. Her interactions or experience with the celebrities the author has captured it very well in the form of interesting anecdotes.
One interesting anecdote covered here is that of Amitabh Bachchan while he got himself hurt in the midst of an action shoot taking place in a shopping center at Juhu while the author Lalita had come down to meet him over an interview. Amitabh's nose got hurt, swollen and was bleeding profusely. When the time was scheduled Amitabh called the author Lalita Tamhane inside his vanity van to give the interview. In spite of being hurt he could have always cancelled the interview and kept it for some other day but Amitabh did not. Reason, he knew Lalita had a deadline to meet for the interview for the publication and Mr. Bachchan wanted to ensure that she does not skip on her deadlines just because he got hurt during the action shoot sequence. That's the benchmark of professional commitment Mr. Bachchan keeps.
What intrigued me is the fact that apart from Bollywood the author has also covered notable personalities like Balasaheb Thackeray, India's leading fashion photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha or singer Kishori Amonkar who were not actor or actress then why did they get the space in this book. My conversation with the author Lalita revealed that one must understand the sub line of the book "Chanderi Soneri" Kalakaar Mulakhati Palikadech. So when we talk of Kalakaar or an artist the individual can be anyone related to arts not necessary the person needs to be an actor from Bollywood. A reply that was very apt I must admit going with the title of the book.
Here's wishing Lalita Tamhane All The Best for her future endeavour. I am positive readers would find reading the book covering these notable personalities indeed enlightening.

Book Review Dilip Kumar ( The Substance and the Shadow, An Autobiography ) : by Niilesh A Raje
Author Dilip Kumar
Publisher Hay House India
Pages 450
Price Rs 699/-
It was midsummer and the weather was hot and humid in Mumbai and the incident dates back to the year 2004. Dilip Sahab was helping Saira Banu rearrange the books on the bookshelf in her bedroom when he happened to pick up a book written by an author who claimed to have known Dilip Kumar better than no one else did. "This is supposed to be my biography and it is full of distortions and misinformation" said Dilip Sahab to Saira. Pat came the reply from Saira "Why don't you write the story of your life yourself?" This was something Saira always kept insisting Dilip Sahab to write down his own autobiography.
The perseverance kept by both Dilip Sahab and Saira Ji spread over a decade witnessed the thespian Dilip Kumar's autobiography titled 'The Substance and the Shadow' that chronicles his life since birth. The title says as one walks in life their shadow grows larger than the actual image. Similarly, Yousuf Khan the substance became bigger as Dilip Kumar as his shadow.
The book has been published by Hay House India. The narration for putting Dilip Sahab's erudite words on paper has been done meticulously by Udayatara Nayar who is known for her long association of almost half a century with Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu. While Udayatara was new in the world of Cinema Journalism she had written a long analytical article on Dilip Sahab in one of the issues of Screen. Dilip Sahab then spoke to the former editor of Screen S.S.Pillai: "Groom her, make her work hard and she will go places. She has the potential to become a biographer someday." Little did she knew that destiny would make this happen for her in real life too and that she would be chosen for Dilip Sahab's book.
Compulsive Reader
Reading the book I was impressed on learning that Dilip Sahab apart from being a prolific actor has also been a compulsive reader. Be it novels, plays or biographies his love of classic literature has been most prominent. As the book says, "When he reads, he is like a child engrossed in his favourite game unwilling to put it away until time and again Saira Ji pleads him to rest." He is always engrossed be it writing a script or scene that waits to be picturized the next day morning. He has the habit to underline the sentences with pencil that aroused curiosity in him and jotted down notes in green ink in the margins in his elegant handwriting.
As Dr. R.C.Sharma reminiscences in this book Dilip Sahab reads voraciously on all subjects including medicine. He once also addressed a medical conference and all of them from the medical fraternity listened spellbound to his speech which was replete with information about the latest developments in the field. Nobody could tell that Dilip Kumar was an actor and that medicine was not his concentration.
Power of Dressing
Dilip Sahab's communication is just not verbal it is also reflected in his power of dressing. He believes in the practice of discipline his clothes are lined up and kept colour wise: "White is white and off-white is off-white" something he is absolutely clear off. Dilip Sahab's adores his beautiful collection of shoes, suits and ties too. Down the years Saira Ji admits to have learnt from him Dilip Sahab the finest way of maintaining these items. She has also mastered the art of going through various steps to achieve a good polish for the exquisite Dilip Kumar footwear wrapped in covers to keep off from moisture.
Commitment to Craft
Dilip Kumar son of a Pathan fruit merchant had a robust earthy upbringing from parents who always used to tell him that he should be faithful to his occupation whatever the chosen craft may be and sincerely earn his wages. His hard work and commitment to the craft was never lacking. Strong sense of integrity, commitment and compassion came naturally for this nonagenarian from the Pathan genes.
The newly released autobiography Dilip Kumar: The Substance and the Shadow by Hay House India gives the readers wealth of comprehensive information experienced by Dilip Sahab who began as a diffident novice in Hindi cinema in the early 1940s and later went on to attain the pinnacle of stardom within a short time with his spellbinding performances. A career spanning over six decades that was based on his innovative capability, determination and sheer hard work. To sum it up Dilip Kumar: Thespian, Connoisseur of Arts, Voracious Reader and Highly Gifted Multilingual Orator. I am positive readers would find reading this book enlightening.

Gibbon calls and waterfalls
March 29th, 2010
Tags: caves, kayak, lake, Thailand
Posted in Destinations by Mark
After our fourth visit to Bangkok, we made our way south to Khao Sok National Park. The park is in the interior of the sourthern, peninsular part of Thailand, and is somewhat less frequented by the mobs of tourists that seem to be over-running the country's beaches these days. We arrived via a comfortable overnight train ride from Bangkok, followed by a scenic mini-bus ride. Huge limestone karsts reached skyward all around us, dripping in thick green jungle and vines. Gibbons and exotic birds provided a continuous soundtrack. We found a great guesthouse called Smiley's, with super-friendly staff, and checked into a cheap little bungalow with a view of the cliffs. We were ready to dive head-first into some national-park caliber nature.
Our first venture into the park was an 8 km hike to a series of waterfalls in the jungle. Armed with multiple water bottles, we set out in the scorching heat. Luckily the canopy of the jungle provided some mild relief from the sun, but there was no disguising the fact that it was Hot — so much so that it deserves capitalizing. The hike was great. We saw a few snakes and all kinds of lizards, including a monitor lizard about 3 feet long. When we arrived at the waterfall, we climbed up to the upper tiers and swam in the blissfully cool water, with little fish that nibbled at your toes if you stayed still too long. It felt really good to hike again. It felt even better to drink a cold beer and have a cold shower when we got back to our bungalow.
One of the park's main features is the gigantic Cheow Lan lake, formed in the 80's by the construction of a large hydroelectric dam. We were desperate to visit the lake, which was about 60 km away, but were depressed to learn that it was prohibitively expensive. But luck was on our side. That same day, a group of about 20 Canadians traveling on an organized tour checked in to Smiley's. Were they going to the lake? Yep. Could we tag along? No problem. It was a bit of a trade off for us: we were giving up the peace and quiet of being by ourselves on the lake, but in exchange, we could actually afford to go. We also smiled at the irony of the situation: here we'd been so happy to find a place that wasn't swarming with tourists, and we were teaming up with the biggest tourist group we could find. Travel throws you curve balls sometimes. So we were off on an overnight lake trip, with twenty somewhat-younger-and-rowdier-than-us Canadians.
When we got to the lake, we piled into two longtail boats and headed off across the lake. We quickly realized two things. First, this lake was absolutely huge! We had briefly contemplated the idea of renting a canoe and trying to explore the lake on our own. We would still be paddling, never mind the fact that there were no proper canoes to be rented anyways. It took the longtail boat nearly an hour and a half to cross the lake, and we didn't even cross the widest part. Secondly, we realized that this lake was one of the most geographically stunning lakes we'd ever seen. The karsts that make the surrounding landscape so beautiful have been half-submerged by the rising water, making them seem to plunge to unknown depths or, perhaps more accurately, to soar out of them. The skeletons of old trees, killed when the dam raised the lake, stand in solitary stillness at random intervals. And the same lush jungle still cloaks the upper reaches of the landscape. It was jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Our first stop was for a bamboo BBQ and a cave trek. Our guides Ya, Gon, and Bow set about cooking us a curry and rice feast in bamboo vessels over an open fire. It was really interesting to watch. First, the bamboo was cut by machete and washed in the creek. Next, rice was wrapped in water-soaked leaves, and then stuffed into the hollow bamboo, which was topped up with more water. The bamboo was then leaned over the fire, where the water inside boiled and steamed the rice to delicious perfection. The curries were cooked in much the same manner. Even more impressive was the buffet-style serving method, and the individual bamboo plates that were made for us on the spot. Very cool stuff.
The cave we hiked to was carved clear through one of the limestone karsts by a stream. Armed with headlamps and swim suits, we ventured into a twisting labyrinth of blackness, which must have stretched on for nearly a kilometer before opening out on the other side. Along the way we waded and swam through chilly water, saw bats (oh so many bats), huge cave spiders as big as your hand, and a sleeping "Buddha" frog that would stay completely still as long as you held him on his back.
After trekking and dining, we were back in the longtail boat headed to our overnight accommodation. We spent the night in floating bamboo bungalows which are rafted together right in the lake. They would gently bob up and down all night, and made for a very comfortable sleep. We spent the rest of the day swimming in the lake and enjoying the delicious food prepared for us by the raft house.
On our second day on the lake, Meg and I got up before dawn and took a couple of kayaks out on the lake to watch the sunrise. It was incredibly peaceful, and we were rewarded for our efforts when we saw some monkeys swinging through the trees, as well as two absolutely gigantic birds. When they flew from their perch, one after the other, their wingbeats tore the air like prehistoric creatures. We think they were great hornbills, or something like that.
After more swimming and sunning, we headed back to the pier. We were sad to leave such a beautiful lake. It was an incredible place, and so was the whole park. We were won over by Khao Sok, and it's made us excited about visiting another national park in the islands further south. We left Khao Sok yesterday, and made our way to Railay in Krabi Province, where we hope to do some climbing on some of the limestone karsts that have so impressed us wherever we've seen them.

We explored an alternative light emitting diode (LED) - based solution to replace the existing yellow fluorescent light tubes (YFT) used in photolithography rooms. A no-blue LED lamp was designed and a prototype was fabricated. For both solutions, the spectral power distribution (SPD) was measured, the colorimetric values were calculated, and a visual comparison using Gretagmacbeth colorcharts was performed. The visual comparison showed that the LED bulb was better to render colors despite a low color rendering index (CRI). Furthermore, the LED bulb was tested in a photolithography room and there was no exposure to the photoresist even after 168 hours illumination.

GIT-SHORTLOG(1) Git Manual GIT-SHORTLOG(1)
NAME git-shortlog - Summarize ´git log´ output
SYNOPSIS git log --pretty=short | git shortlog [-h] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-w] git shortlog [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [-e|--email] [-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]] [<committish>...]
DESCRIPTION Summarizes git log output in a format suitable for inclusion in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and the first line of the commit message will be shown.
Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
OPTIONS -h, --help Print a short usage message and exit.
-n, --numbered Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead of author alphabetic order.
-s, --summary Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
-e, --email Show the email address of each author.
-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]] Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at width. The first line of each entry is indented by indent1 spaces, and the second and subsequent lines are indented by indent2 spaces. width, indent1, and indent2 default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.
MAPPING AUTHORS The .mailmap feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was spelled differently.
If the file .mailmap exists at the toplevel of the repository, or at the location pointed to by the mailmap.file configuration option, it is used to map author and committer names and email addresses to canonical real names and email addresses.
In the simple form, each line in the file consists of the canonical real name of an author, whitespace, and an email address used in the commit (enclosed by < and >) to map to the name. For example:
Proper Name <firstname.lastname@example.com>
The more complex forms are:
<email@example.com> <firstname.lastname@example.com>
which allows mailmap to replace only the email part of a commit, and:
Proper Name <firstname.lastname@example.com> <firstname.lastname@example.com>
which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a commit matching the specified commit email address, and:
Proper Name <email@example.com> Commit Name <firstname.lastname@example.com>
which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a commit matching both the specified commit name and email address.
Example 1: Your history contains commits by two authors, Jane and Joe, whose names appear in the repository under several forms:
Joe Developer <firstname.lastname@example.com> Joe R. Developer <firstname.lastname@example.com> Jane Doe <firstname.lastname@example.com> Jane Doe <jane@laptop.(none)> Jane D. <jane@desktop.(none)>
Now suppose that Joe wants his middle name initial used, and Jane prefers her family name fully spelled out. A proper .mailmap file would look like:
Jane Doe <jane@desktop.(none)> Joe R. Developer <email@example.com>
Note how there is no need for an entry for <jane@laptop[1].(none)>, because the real name of that author is already correct.
Example 2: Your repository contains commits from the following authors:
nick1 <email@example.com> nick2 <email@example.com> nick2 <firstname.lastname@example.com> santa <email@example.com> claus <email@example.com> CTO <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Then you might want a .mailmap file that looks like:
<email@example.com> <firstname.lastname@example.com> Some Dude <email@example.com> nick1 <firstname.lastname@example.com> Other Author <email@example.com> nick2 <firstname.lastname@example.com> Other Author <firstname.lastname@example.com> <firstname.lastname@example.com> Santa Claus <firstname.lastname@example.com> <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Use hash # for comments that are either on their own line, or after the email address.

On Wednesday, I accompanied some nutrition colleagues to one of UNICEF's 214 Outpatient Therapeutic Feeding Centres, where there were probably 100 kids and their carers waiting to have their height, weight and MUAC (mid-upper arm circumference) measured. The MUAC is measured with a simple tape measure
If the child's arm measures in the green section then all is well, in the orange or red then there is cause for further treatment. Perhaps it's a good thing that as soon as a child's sleeve was rolled up they started screaming, because it shows that they've had experience with vaccinations. I didn't see a single child who didn't burst into tears when the tape was put around them (this little girl isn't smiling, she's just in between sobs)
If a child is determined to be malnourished they are referred to one of UNICEF's 31 in-patient Stabilisation Centres (Of course there are many other organisations running OTPs and SCs across the country) - these centres are to treat cases of malnutrition where there are also other complications. These complications may have caused the malnutrition, they may be a result of malnutrition, or they may have exacerbated existing malnutrition. Whatever the case, these are very sick children. I visited a stabilisation centre on Wednesday with the film crew and it was by far the hardest thing I've ever had to witness. There were six children in the hospital room, four of whom looked like they were recovering well, and two who were so tiny. One was five months old and weighed just under six pounds (apparently what I weighed as a newborn). The other was almost a year old and didn't weigh much more. We'd arrived at the scheduled feeding time, and the nurse mixed up a jug of high energy/nutrient milk. There are two different strengths; one litre of the first will contain 984 kCal; the second 757 kCal. How much, and how often each child will receive the supplement is calculated depending on a number of factors by a pediatrician. This boy had come in five days earlier with a protruding belly, and was recovering quite well.
I didn't take any photos of the severely malnourished babies as (a) I didn't want to and (b) when my story is published on the website you'll be able to watch a video that explains all this further. But the smallest child had a MUAC of 7cm. That is slightly bigger than my thumb. Just take a second to look at your own thumb and consider what that means.
Once the child's condition has improved to an acceptable level, they are sent home with a week's supply of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food, such as plumpy nut - a sachet of which contains 500 kCal. The child is then taken to an OTP on a weekly basis for a check up and to receive further RUTF.
A vital part of nutrition is exclusive breastfeeding, and we went to a village 'health house' where one of the government's Lady Health Workers was conducting a session on the topic. Again, you'll probably see footage of this in the video that will accompany my story, but there were lots of women and children packed into a small room to hear about the importance of breastfeeding. On their way out of the session they were given some BP5 nutritional biscuits, which can also be boiled in water to make a porridge for babies.
Health, nutrition, water and sanitation are so interconnected that in a situation where all of those sectors (plus of course, poor quality education etc) are in a shambles, the cycle of disease and malnutrition will continue. The flooding has actually given rise to an opportunity to improve the low standards of these sectors that existed before the floods. There is now the chance to use the funding coming in, to not only provide the immediate relief that people need, but also the capacity building and awareness/education of good hygiene practices, of breastfeeding, of hand washing. Simple practices that we take for granted and probably don't realise how effective they are in preventing all sorts of illnesses.
There is still a lot of work to be done in Pakistan, and I have so much admiration for my colleagues who are tackling these issues everyday, in conditions that aren't pleasant, or comfortable, and away from their families. There are many crises in Pakistan, and the need for further funding should not be swayed by corruption in the government, or by terrorism. The simple fact of the matter is that there are millions of people, millions of children, who have done nothing more than survive the biggest natural disaster in modern history. They should not suffer further.

Businesses drive cities that thrive
February 5, 2019
Businesses are at the heart of healthy communities. Whether it's sponsoring an NHL arena or a novice team at the neighbourhood rink, businesses are there. They create jobs, pay taxes, invest in the province, and most importantly, invest in communities.
Unfortunately, due to actions of successive governments, business competitiveness in our province has eroded.
In our 2019 Provincial Election Policy Platform, Businesses Drive Cities that Thrive, the Calgary Chamber has identified five key areas where the provincial government must focus to build a better business environment. Our platform puts forward nine tangible recommendations in these areas that we hope all parties adopt in their platforms to bring vibrancy to our communities.
Our five core principles are:
1) Create stability through fiscal responsibility
This includes a balanced operating budget, developing long-term spending plans, and committing to annual spending growth limits. This would improve the business climate while creating long term certainty and reduce the chances for tax hikes to generate revenue to re-pay government debt in the future.
2) Drive productivity through regulatory and tax reform
This principle highlights that through layered cost assessments, removal of undue regulatory burdens, and a corporate tax review with the goal of corporate tax rate reduction, the Government of Alberta can grow its tax base in the long term while making the province a more attractive place to invest.
3) Support growth through internal trade and access to markets
The next Alberta government needs to be a champion for internal free trade. Interprovincial trade barriers cost Canadian households $7,500 a year. Removing these barriers would not only ensure free trade within the country but also remove all roadblocks that ultimately cost Canadian communities.
4) Increase certainty through good governance and accountability
This includes a commitment from the government to respect the rule of law and contracts once the they are defined. It also calls on the next government to take part in meaningful consultation when implementing policy changes. This would create certainty for businesses by allowing time to adjust to rule changes and provide input on potential effects before changes are made.
5) Prepare for the future by developing and retaining a skilled workforce
The provincial government needs to ensure that Albertans are ready for the workplace of the future. By committing to bringing our industry and post-secondary institutions together to ensure that businesses have access to employees with the right skills to help them grow their business.
Our business community is extremely resilient, but that resilience continues to be tested. We need to ensure that we have thriving businesses so that they can help build vibrant communities and households. To read the Chamber's full policy platform click here.

Reforming the Taxation of Multijurisdictional Enterprises in Europe, a Tentative Appraisal
49 Pages Posted: 5 Oct 2006
Date Written: September 2006
In 2001, the European Commission proposed replacing the current system of taxation of multinational companies by the taxation of a consolidated base, computed at the level of all the European entities of a multijurisdictional enterprise, and then distributed for taxation purposes between the various jurisdictions in which these entities operate, according to pre-established criteria. In this paper, we propose a tentative appraisal of that reform based on a case study and an analytical exercise. We especially focus on two related issues, the choice of the formula and the composition of the consolidating area - either the entire EU or some Member States within an Enhanced Cooperation Agreement, as well as on their impact on the size and interjurisdictional distribution of tax revenue and social welfare, and on the intensity of tax competition. Our tentative policy conclusion is that this paper supports the reform provided that (1) the formula puts emphasis on criteria that the firm may not too easily manipulate, (2) the activities of the multijurisdictional enterprise are mobile enough, (3) the consolidation is made compulsory within the consolidating area, and (4) the consolidating area protects its capacity to actually levy tax by adopting a crediting system vis-à-vis the rest of the world.
Keywords: multinational enterprises, multinational companies, multijurisdictional enterprises, European taxation, tax consolidation, tax competition

Hilashesaus needed a new 3D design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Magnetic eyelash applicator for our magnetic eyelashes application
The applicator for our magnetic eyelashes needs to be put into a cad design or 3d design. the material is biodegradable plastic. there is iron metal pieces installed at the tip for the magnetic lashes to attract too when applying. If you can innovate in anyway for our design it would be great, otherwise please just copy the pictures, dont forget to include the detailing of the small iron parts fitted inside the tip as shown (it is spray painted which is why its not visible) and the word "hilashes" on the applicator in the design.
