5 Steps To Taking Charge of Your Career
Dear Evil HR Lady,
This isn't a question, just a thanks to helping me with my career. I've been at the same organization since I was 24 and I am about to turn 32. So, basically I've grown up with the same boss for most of my professional career.
I recently had become disillusioned with the amount of respect that I feel that my boss gave me and attributed it to her not realizing that I'm not the same immature worker as I was in my mid twenties.
Last spring I started reading your blog and...a light bulb went off. It's not her. It's me. My frustration was due to me not feeling like she takes me seriously (her go-to gal is a woman who has two years less seniority) and I was becoming seriously unhappy with my job.
Guess what? I looked at myself and realized that the reason why I wasn't the go-to gal is because I wasn't assertive and just expected her to notice me.
I started becoming assertive and letting my colleagues know how confident I was in my answers (instead of backing down because I was afraid of hurting feelings or being wrong) and basically realized that I need to worry about ME and not about what anyone else is doing.
I'm now a lot happier because my colleagues are slowly trusting me because I'm more assertive and confident and I no longer feel like I'm being passed over.
I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am to get this email. It's a little validation that I'm actually helping people and not just entertaining those who live to find my typos. (You know who you are.)
- Respect is earned, not granted as if by fairy godmother. It's easy to moan and complain that your ideas aren't respected and awfully hard to say, "Gee, my ideas aren't respected. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?" It's something you need to consciously work towards attaining. Even people with exalted titles don't have the respect of their underlings unless they've earned it. Sure, they can have the fear of their employees based on title and power alone, but respect is, without a doubt, something that must be earned.
- Time in seat does not equal experience. Yes, some time in seat is generally necessary to have the qualifications to do most jobs, but the reality is, sitting there longer doesn't mean you're more valuable. Just as respect is earned, your value is judged (or should be judged, anyway) by what you do and are willing to try.
- Confidence is a huge key to success. My BNET colleague, Kimberly Weisul just reported on a new study that shows confidence can be more important than being right. People (frequently women) who hedge their statements with, "I think that..." and "If we have to choose between X and Y then maybe X..." and "I'm not sure, but..." are not going to be taken as seriously as someone who comes in and says, "The best path is..." and "We have two possibilities, X and Y, and because of A, B, and C, I propose we do X." Even though they may be suggesting the same path, the confident person will be listened to.
- There's no crying in business. Okay, there's lots of crying in business. But, there shouldn't be because of day to day interactions. As long as people are not being bullies or mean, telling someone about a mistake or having a different opinion shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. And as long as you're polite about it, if feelings are hurt, it's not your fault.
- Focus on your own career, and not on what your coworkers are or are not doing. So much of office angst revolves around "fair." Life is not fair. Furthermore, if you're reading this you have internet and computer access and are therefore ahead of most in the world, so I doubt you truly want things to be "fair." Stop worrying about your coworker who comes in late, your coworker who gets promoted ahead of you, and your coworker who is always in the boss's office. Focus on what you need to do, what your responsibilities are, and figure out your goals.

Will Robots Take Our Jobs?
Will Robots Take Our Jobs?
Is there any merit to the fear that robots will make humans less productive or useful?
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Some futurists, technologists, and engineers predict the fall of human productivity in the coming years and decades concerning robotics and artificial intelligence taking over the human job industry that the world has had for centuries. There is some debate as to whether technology can overcome human output in certain jobs and functionality within those jobs.
Artificial intelligence has come a long way, but it is not ready to tackle most human jobs yet. In fact, human jobs need to be increased to be able to program the robots that many fear will take over their current jobs. It takes programmers, mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and others to be able to recreate the current jobs that are done in mid-level skilled trades to enable robotics to completely take them over. And it is not an overnight job. It will be a long time before the artificial intelligence systems put into place are able to replicate the skill that a human has been trained to do.
There is no doubt that robotics and AI will be able to do more functions that people do now, but it is not foreseeable in the near future. It will be a long time for human creativity to die out. Humans are the programmers and masters of the robotic algorithms that can do certain jobs. We control what happens with the systems, not the robotic mechanisms themselves.
Technological advances only make jobs easier at this point. There is no need to fear advancement in automated devices, what can be called "robots". They are put in place to help the worker, not to replace the person whose job is to ensure reliability, craftsmanship, and quality. The robotics are an aid to the person rather than a replacement in most industries.
Look at a creative job such as an engineer or a chef, for example. Those industries rely on human ingenuity, and not an artificial intelligence system. Human hands make the food that comes from a restaurant, and many man hours are spent perfecting the dish that goes to the table. Much thought is put into the dish, similarly to engineering of anything else. Checkweighers and shipping systems go into this kind of industry many times per day.
The iPhone and Android operating systems weren't thought of by a robot, but rather were conceived out of human forethought and ingenuity, as well as the infamous Windows and Apple systems. The inventors of the smartphone and, previously, the personal computer, were people who took time to answer the questions, such as why does something need to be invented, and how will it be implemented.
It takes human interaction to be able to answer these questions, and no robotics currently can answer them. It takes programmers and engineers to solve the problems of what humans face, in terms of many things. Applications for computers and smartphones require human interaction to function and make usable. Testing and patching of applications comes along with this notion, as well. User interface requires other human users to assist in development and strategy going forward, at least for the time being.
Humans have yet to scratch the surface of what is possible in the long run, but will remain in the industrial field for the long term. Robotics and AI will be able to take some jobs, as they have for decades, but will not be able to be a driving force in taking over humans' activities, including foresight and advancement. The people have to decide what is best for them, and that will be the driving force in changes that are coming forward.

Just two weeks before she was to wed, Regina Allen Elsea, a temporary worker at a Cusseta, AL, manufacturer that stamps metal parts for Hyundai and Kia vehicles, ended up crushed to death.
Elsea, 20, died on the job June 18 when she ended up crushed to death in a robotic machine. That day, the assembly line stopped and she and three of her co-workers entered a robotic station to clear a sensor fault. The robot restarted abruptly, crushing the young woman inside the machine.
Amputation Leads to Safety Investigation
Worker Fatality Brings Safety Fines
Food Firm Fined for Injury Incidents
TX Feed Maker Faces Safety Fines
An investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) led the agency to issue citations for 23 willful, serious and other-than-serious violations, including 19 egregious instance-by-instance willful violations, to Joon LLC, doing business as Ajin USA of Cusseta.
OSHA also cited two staffing agencies — Alliance HR Inc., doing business as Alliance Total Solutions LLC and Joynus Staffing Corp. — for two serious safety violations each.
The three companies face $2,565,621 in penalties for the federal safety and health violations.
"This senseless tragedy could have been prevented if Regina Elsea's employers had followed proper safety precautions," said Dr. David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for Occupational Safety and Health. "In addition, it is unfortunate that Hyundai and Kia, who set strict specifications on the parts they purchase from their suppliers, appear to be less concerned with the safety of the workers who manufacture those parts."
In 2015, Dr. Michaels traveled to Korea and met with Hyundai and Kia's top managers, warning them of hazardous conditions at their suppliers, explaining to them the automobile firms' production policies were endangering workers at the suppliers' factories.
"Kia and Hyundai's on-demand production targets are so high that workers at their suppliers are often required to work six and sometimes seven days a week to meet the targets," Michaels said. "It appears that – to reduce its own costs in meeting these targets – this supplier cut corners on safety, at the expense of workers' lives and limbs."
OSHA issued willful citations to Ajin USA for:
• Failing to utilize energy control procedures to prevent machinery from starting up during maintenance and servicing
• Exposing workers to caught-in, struck-by and crushing hazards by allowing them to enter a robotic cell without shutting down and securing hazardous stored energy according to safety procedures
• Failing to provide safety locks to isolate hazardous energy
• Exposing employees to crushing and amputation hazards due to improper machine guarding
OSHA issued two serious citations to Ajin USA for exposing workers to laceration hazards by allowing them to work with parts having sharp edges while improperly wearing or not wearing protective sleeves and not installing effective shields or curtains on welding machines to protect the operator and others from flying sparks.
The agency also issued two serious citations to Alliance and Joynus for failing to utilize specific safety procedures to control potentially hazardous stored energy during maintenance and servicing and not providing or ensuring employees had locks to properly shutdown machinery.
Alliance and Joynus, both based in Opelika, provide 250 temporary employees to Ajin USA. Elsea ended up hired to work at Ajin through Alliance Total Solutions.
Preventable Incident
"This was a preventable incident — Ajin USA only had to ensure that proper safety measures were followed to de-energize the robot before the workers entered the station," said Kurt Petermeyer, OSHA's regional administrator in Atlanta. "Incidents like this one are not isolated and that is why OSHA has developed and implemented its Regional Emphasis Program on Safety Hazards in the Auto Parts Industry."
The agency has also placed Ajin USA in its Severe Violators Enforcement Program. The program focuses on recalcitrant employers that endanger workers by committing willful, repeat or failure-to-abate violations. Under the program, OSHA may inspect any of the employer's facilities if it has reasonable grounds to believe there are similar violations.
Based in Korea, Ajin USA, is a global auto parts supplier with plants in South Korea, China, Vietnam and the U.S. It employs 700 workers at the Cusseta facility.
Alliance Total Solutions is a staffing agency with branches in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee with over 4,000 employees. Joynus Staffing Corp. has offices in Georgia and employs over 600 workers.

Thames Tea set in Blue
This set includes one Thames tea pot in blue along with two Thames cups and saucers. I've often been inspired by the river Thames. For this tea-set I've carefully drawn the path of the river starting from it's source at Thames Head and flowing around the teapot as it meanders to the sea. For the cup and saucer I've drawn the Thames source on the plate, it wanders over and around the cup. This will keep your Thames daydreams strong wherever you happen to be.
We've screen-printed this design in a vibrant blue. The lid has a hand painted knob and Dawn has also hand-painted a delicate line of blue around each lid rim.
5-6 cup teapot (depending upon whether you are drinking from the Thames cup & saucer or a larger mug)
Teapot: 27 (from handle to spout) x 110 x 160 (from base to tip of knob) cms
Saucer - 15cms diameter
Cup - 8 wide by 6 cms tall
Made in Stoke-on-Trent from bone china. Dishwasher safe.

Apex Legends shares a few similarities with Fortnite, but in terms of player growth, it's already surpassing Epic Games' juggernaut battle royale title, at least in terms of how they launched. Apex Legends is, according to early analysis, on pace to outgrow Fortnite at a rate that would be extraordinarily quick, even for a genre that has been explosive in its popularity.
Apex Legends released just one week ago, but it has already become one of the most talked about games in the industry. Developer Respawn Entertainment endured a brief period of fan outrage when it was revealed Titanfall 3 had been postponed - or worse - and that EA had asked the studio to create the next big battle royale title instead. That anger lasted for all of a few hours before the game released, though, and has since been replaced by the kind of excitement usually reserved for a AAA game launching after years spent publicly in development. With Apex Legends hitting over 25 million players already, it's clear that the game is already entering rarefied air in the industry.
Related: Apex Legends Review: The New Best Battle Royale
According to a few different tweets from industry analysts, Apex Legends is already outgrowing Fortnite. As a rough timeline, it appears Apex Legends hit 2.5 million players in just one day after launch, 10 million after three days, and 25 million after seven. It's an incredible feat that will likely need to slow down at some point in the near future, but for now, it's setting a pace that would make Apex Legends one of the most successful games ever. For reference, Fortnite Battle Royale hit 10 million players after two whole weeks, and didn't hit the 25 million mark until sometime between weeks six and eleven:
Here is a rough comp.— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) February 11, 2019
Number of Apex Legends players after:
8 hours - 1m
1 day - 2.5m
3 days - 10m
1 week - 25m
Number of Fortnite BR players after:
2 weeks - 10m
6 weeks - 20m
11 weeks - 30m
16 weeks - 40m
Another analyst provided a graph to measure exactly how impressive Apex Legends' launch has been. It's especially useful to see in graph form because it helps contextualize the trajectory that Apex Legends is currently on, and it's one that looks like a rocket heading for orbit:
This is why people are getting positive on $EA -- #ApexLegends is not just having a strong launch, it's having a significantly better launch than the most successful game in recent history. pic.twitter.com/4vANqkHJ5k— Thomas Rice (@thomasrice_au) February 11, 2019
The information on Fortnite pertains to when it went free-to-play and battle royale as well, so it's not as though Apex Legends is being given a head start by including the brief period that saw Fortnite remain relatively obscure. Fortnite also launched into PUBG, so the argument that Apex Legends is capitalizing on a market that's more fertile isn't a completely sound one. That being said, however, there's certainly more people invested in the genre than there used to be, so Apex Legends' numbers might be what to expect from great battle royale titles in the future. The game still has a long ways to go when it comes to concurrent players as well, as Apex Legends recently surpassed 2 million - Fortnite hit over 8 million concurrent players late last year.
Still, it seems unlikely that this is just what developers should expect when they release a title into the most popular genre in gaming today. There's more at play here than just cashing in on a big market, and Apex Legends is clearly going to be a major player in 2019. What remains to be seen is just how fast it will grow, and how it will deal with the challenges that come with being under greater scrutiny and the weight of expectation as Respawn Entertainment delivers the game's first content releases in the coming months.

It's easy to buy into a game's hype. After all, publishers pay employees quite a bit of money to make you so anxious to play a game you'll line up for hours outside a Game Crazy at your local mall, your bag of Naugles tacos in hand while you talk about whether or not Seal could beat up all the Boyz II Men. Which he totally could, b-dubs.
Fuck, I'm old.
The point is, someone's always trying to sell you something like it's their job, right? Because it is. How impressionable you are to this is really only your concern. Hey, you want to get swept up and buy four hundred cans of Mountain Dew's new squid-flavored hypercaffeinated energy drink, it's your money. But it's no real surprise or news that pre-ordering games these days is kind of a silly thing to do. The reasons for this are numerous and have been done to death on these forums and elsewhere, but here's a quick recap - 1) game reviews are still relevant and can save you money if you're willing to wait, and 2) pre-ordering games will lead to butt cancer. I heard that on Facebook so it has to be true.
I haven't pre-ordered a thing since... oh, hell, Fallout 4, maybe? I'm not immune to pre-order hype, but as I grow older, I've begun detaching myself from a lot of the excitement of games in general and have found myself more and more capable of waiting for stuff to go on a deep discount. Having a limited income has helped with this self-control, but it really just boils down to nothing coming out in a good long while that's really stirred up my soul in the way big franchises like Final Fantasy or the aforementioned Fallout used to do. There are tons of great games that've come out in the last few years, but none of them have really spoken to me personally. And that's okay! Saves me money, at the very least.
So here's an oddity for you, then. At the beginning of this month, I decided to punch the pre-order button on a game you might think is an odd decision, considering I didn't particularly love its predecessor. That game is Far Cry New Dawn. Note that there are no spoilers ahead for Far Cry 5, but I do have to talk around some things.
I know. Of all the games to buy before reviews have come out, why the hell would I pick New Dawn? The answer to that isn't as simple as hype. I played Far Cry 5 to completion and did most every side-quest. I wasn't in love with the game. I thought the cult and the ending were intriguing ideas that unfortunately weren't very well fleshed out in ways believable to that universe, leaving me with questions as to just what the hell the plot leaders might have been thinking or doing or planning towards. I don't mean that in a "I have to know more!" sort of way. It was half-assed writing in an otherwise perfectly vanilla update to the Far Cry 3 formula. The Montana setting was fun, especially as I'm from the area, but it wasn't really a selling point for me.
Curiosity killed the cat, and it slaughtered my wallet. I have to know if Ubisoft is capable of making good on any of the more intriguing aspects of that game. I am intrigued by the idea of games exploring spiritual mysticism that isn't a part of some existentialist or nihilisitic viewpoint, and what Far Cry 5 was going for is fairly unique at least in terms of games in that regard. Although it didn't earn its ending, I wholly respect the sheer magnitude of what it was trying to aim for. Maybe that's because I'm deeply in love with the similar ending to the underrated movie Miracle Mile, but I don't think so. Far Cry 5 was so close to greatness that I kind of have to see where New Dawn goes to, if just as a consumer-historian sort of way. And I realize how bizarre that sounds considering how many people across the globe will be covering New Dawn for themselves and how easy that coverage will be to access, but there's still some part of me that hopes, even in some very tiny way, that New Dawn makes good on at least some of the premises from Far Cry 5. It also really doesn't hurt that I love the open-world gameplay from these games, but that's pretty much secondary to knowing how the second chapter to this story will end.
So there you go. It's not a game I expect to hold close to my heart, and I've read some review recaps. I know what I'm in for. I'm okay with that.
So have you pre-ordered any games for an unusual reason? What are your biggest pre-order regrets?

The fact is they are two for ninety-nine-cents. there is no better deal on Earth. A buck and seven or eight cents change and you got dinner and it tastest great. I drank. Pretty heavy. Every penny went to the booze. All day. Every day. All I ate was those tacos and donuts n the moning, usually the cheaper day old donuts. Where I lived nobody liked the jelly-filled ones, so those became my 25-cent breakfast the next day (probably three days later, really).
Most of everything else Jack In The Box sells sucks. They buy tons of advertising on sporting events and push a monthly ceative special. I tried a few of those over the years. There was one, a chicken sndwich with a mushroom sauce on it, I loved those, but ofr the most part they serve lousy food.
Well the years went on, I got sober, then more years went on and I ate better, stopped eating wheat and one day, starving, at a stadium for a sporitng event, there was a Jack In The box and they had the tacos. Guess what... they could not assure me they were gluten free but the woman at the counter then leaned over and whispered "They're gluten-free". A revelation. I ate five of them at $2.49 apiece and still spent less than anyone in that crowd of 38,000.
So tempted to go buy a pair now just for the hell of it.

Bet you didn't even know I was gone. You did? I'm impressed. Didn't mean to be gone this long but we just spent last week at church camp and then this week has been so busy getting caught up with everything around here and trying to get rested up. The first part of the week was for our elementary kids and we only cooked for about 50 including counselors. The kids absolutely love church camp and are never ready to go home. Guess that is a good thing. I especially love watching them worship Jesus. It is so sweet and so pure.
I had also brought Noah with me for the kids camp. He had so much fun and felt so big. I also couldn't keep his shoes on him. It's not like him to go barefoot all the time but he apparently loved it. His feet were just black at night for his bath. I should have taken a picture of them. I sure don't want to hear from him that he can't go barefoot here anymore.
From Thursday through Monday we held the teen camp and let me tell you we were completely packed. The camp holds 160 and we had everything filled. We had 5 churches including ours and the power of God fell on those kids. It was amazing. After we got home, there were so many excited comments about camp, those wishing we were still there, looking forward to next year, wanting to stay in contact with all the new friends they made. Incredible how God blessed our camp. This has been a dream of ours to have this camp filled ever since we began with just a few campers seven years ago. Actually, Gary and I have long wanted to run a teen camp but kind of gave up that idea but I see this dream being placed in our kids hearts. Maybe they can accomplish this and we can help.

Catterline Christmas Tree Festival 2015
A Christmas Tree Festival will be held once again this year in St Phillip's Church, Catterline. We invite individuals, families or community groups to take part by sponsoring and decorating a tree. The cost is £30 for a tree, which will be yours to keep once the festival is over. The trees will be container grown, with roots. (Last year's trees are growing and flourishing in people's gardens).
Trees can be decorated in any way you choose, preferably keeping to a Christmassy theme. This leaves plenty of scope for imagination and there is a lot of inspiration on the internet, if you are stuck for ideas.
The Christmas Tree Festival will be open for anyone to come and view the decorated trees between Saturday 12th and Sunday 20th December. A carol service will be held in St Philip's Church on Sunday 20th December, to conclude the Festival.
Quiz Night
Catterline WRI Open Quiz Night
Catterline WRI are holding a Quiz Night to be held in Kinneff Hall on Friday 23rd of October at 7.30pm. Teams of four at £10.00 per team. Refreshments will be provided and there will also be a raffle.
All welcome.

text: The first goal from Anass Achahbar is definitely an early candidate for the Puskas Award. It was is amazing. The amount of body control and concentration it takes for the first goal is simply absurd. The second goal was incredible too. A player who can score goals like this is definitely someone worth keeping an eye on. Since he is only 21 I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a top tier league within the next few years if he keeps scoring goals like this.

Q: I have a specific room setup that I want to use for multiple jobs. Is there any way I can copy this room to a different job?
A: Yes. You can export and import an .ORD file to accomplish this.
1) Once you have created a room that you want to use in other jobs, you must first "Save the current job".
2) Now go to the Reports screen and select Utilities \ Export Order
3) You will now see Export Order screen. Enter a name for this file and you will notice the extension of this file will be type .ord. Save this file.
4) Open a different job and create a new Room at the Plan view.
5) Now go to Reports \ Utilities \ Import Order.
6) You will now see the Import Order screen. Select the .ord job and Open.
7) Now go back to the Plan view of that job and you will notice the room has been imported.
8) The room will keep its original Job Properties settings, so you will have to change the Doors, Materials, and Construction Method if desired.

The principal observations for the last 5 years (2006 to 2010)
Localized algae blooms (South and North of lake, i.e. Bondville and Lakeside sectors) on June 21 and 22 which disperse (breaks apart) the following day. August 1 shows a category 2a blooms in several sectors, including Douglass beach forcing a 24-hour closing. The bloom breaks apart the same day. A new category 2a bloom appears in the north sector and breaks down the same day but there is a murky water column. Generalized water flowers (green) are seen on September 3-4-5 which disappear September 7. The water flower returns on September 7.
There is no warning made or restrictions issued for the period mid May to mid August despite some localized cyanobacteria blooms in July and August. There are generalized water flowers noticed covering the entire lake from mid August onward. The lake was closed on September 25 and reopened on October 19, with the results in terms of toxicity for the first time superior to norms allowed for both drinking and swimming.
No warnings or use restrictions issued for the period May to mid September. Localized blooms are seen at the end of June and the beginning of August. Toxicity levels are below norms.
2 warnings issued as well as a notice of closing of public beaches between July 30 and August 17. Toxicity levels remained below norms.
The lake is the subject of a public health warning (subsequently closed) on August 17, 2006 and this restriction remained in force until the end of the season. The ministry has since modified its procedures since that time. The toxin level was virtually non existent.

Postfoundationalism is a theory of epistemology denoting a rejection of an assumed or given authority for a specific action or belief, but arguing, in dialectical fashion, for a rationale for action or belief.[1] The term was originally used in philosophical theology,[2] although since that time it has been used in wider philosophical discourse.

Organization Success Hints Mission Completed Just Be Crystal clear On What That Mission Is going to be18 Травня 2018
Operating a business today often seems like mission difficult – aiming to accomplish more while facing enormous difficulties along the way. Really not easy, employing order to succeed, you need to be obvious on what you need to complete. Too many make the mistake of just doing, but not really concentrating on what that truly includes. They run to the finish sections, but then, realize what is waiting for these people is certainly not what they thought of. That's why you need to be crystal clear on your own business objectives, what should be done, and by whom. It is very important to work with a mission in mind.
Here are some tips pertaining to accomplishing extra in your organization: Write down what you wish to accomplish. Once again, it's important to first of all know what you should do to achieve your goal(s). You need to write it down and stay more specific than saying, "I want to make additional money. " Believe back over the previous few weeks. Take note of what you had been working on. Today write down the goal you possessed in mind with those duties. And finally, write down the steps you took to make it happen. This exercise will show you many things. First of all it will demonstrate if you are concentrating on the right things get the right results. That alone is an eye opener. Next, it will probably show you what all you performing (the steps) to get the preferred result(s) of course, if there is any way to improve the task. And finally, it can show you should you be doing it all, or too much your self. nvprk.com It will demonstrate if one of the greatest problems within your business is the fact you happen to be holding on to too much and simply not necessarily relinquished control. All of that from one simple exercise. Amazing!
Know what help you ought to accomplish your mission – You've got to be manifest regarding what you need. Can not even consider doing it very own. Repeat. Is not going to consider executing it alone. (There, that's done. ) Rather, start questioning the tasks you are able to outsource — if you not necessarily already. That's the mark of a true professional; someone who has learned they need support… someone who appreciates they will be able to accomplish much more now with the help of other folks. However , from exercise we all did inside the first step, you ought to be able to decide if you are doing it right. You could already have an internet support specialist or two. Tend to be you spending full advantage of the services they give? Stop and review. Have a look at the tasks you are carrying out yourself, yet shouldn't be, and discover if they can take over these tasks as well. You'll be so glad you did. As well, take the time to review the steps you are carrying out with your over the internet support specialized. Are there better ways to take steps? It might be time to schedule a call and talk about aims again. Analysis the services that exist. Are you acquiring full benefit of everything that emerges? Do you also know all of the services that are offered to you? It might just be coming back another approach session, therefore make the phone.
Mission Crazy. The above exercise should also mention some of the troubles you face. Many optimism that in cases where they merely don't think information, they will like magic , go away. Gowns rarely the case. You need to address your obstacles so you can figure out the best alternatives. This can be as easy as stating, "When I really do this, I actually get this final result, but I just honestly need this effect instead. What can I carry out differently this occassion? " It is time to take note of your obstacles and make an effort to work on these people. Face all of them head on and continue to make improvement. Also, tend feel you need to solve every thing at once. When you see a problem that might take time to overcome, note down the steps you can create to overcome the challenge, and how they will help you move forward. Could you see how you could make a difference this way? One thing to keep in mind is that this anything you want to do regularly. So many people start off 2012 by examining their desired goals and what they want to accomplish, nonetheless instead of making a plan and focusing on what they need to do to throughout the year, they will get occupied and things get defer until the next year when they commence all over again. Clearly, this not an easy way to accomplish your goals. By going over your goals and mission on a monthly basis, you will wear them the lead of what you're planning to accomplish. The more you do this kind of, the more impressed you'll be at the results, plus the more you will feel that good sense of "Mission accomplished. I had good. inch

GAME 4: Dean at Becker | Saturday, September 22, 12:00 PM | Alumni Field, Leicester, Mass. | Dean Roster | Becker Roster | Dean Coaches | Becker Coaches | Live Video | Live Stats
Here We Are
After a trio of close contests, Dean wraps up the non-league portion of their schedule with a visit to Becker College for a showdown with the Hawks in the second all-time meeting as Division III institutions between the schools.
Oh, So Close
In all three of their games this season, Dean has been within one score in the second half, including last week on the road at Salve Regina when they trailed just 20-18 late in the fourth quarter.
Tough Sledding
The three teams that Dean has faced so far this season - (Curry (2-1), Western Connecticut State (2-0) and Salve Regina (2-1) - are a combined 6-2. Curry's loss came to a 3-0 MIT team, while Salve Regina's defeat was to a 2-0 Montclair State squad.
Home Coming
Becker made the trip to Franklin last season for Dean's homecoming festivities and the Bulldogs led 25-3 at one point before settling for a 25-10 victory in what was the midst of a three-game winning streak.
First-Year Phenoms
For the second time in three weeks this season, a first-year Bulldog has been named Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) Rookie of the Week. After a two-touchdown performance to go along with 84 yards receiving in last week's 27-18 loss at Salve Regina, Quintus Reid (New Haven, Conn.) joined Terrell Watts (New Haven, Conn.) as the two Dean freshmen to win the award this season.
Catching On
Julian Burris (Marietta, Ga.) hauled in his third receiving touchdown of the season on Saturday against Salve Regina – good for the second most in the ECFC. Burris only has seven receptions this season meaning nearly every other catch he makes is for a score.
Dual Threat
Burris is also dangerous in the return game. He has returned six kickoffs for an average of 35.2 yards per return – a total that leads the ECFC and ranks seventh in the country.
You Always Remember Your First
Freshmen Tyzohn Poole (New Haven, Conn.) and Frankie Buncik (Venice, Fla.) each had their first career receptions in the loss at Salve Regina on Saturday. Poole, who did catch a two-point conversion at Curry in the season opener, snagged a pair of balls for 36 yards, while Buncik converted a first down with his eight-yard catch on third down on Dean's first drive.
Final 30
Terrell Watts is second in the ECFC in touchdown passes thrown (7) so far this season. All seven have come in the second half with four of them being in the fourth quarter.
The Streak Continues
Since the Bulldogs began playing an NCAA Division III exclusive schedule last season, they have yet to allow a quarterback to pass for 200 yards. Now at eight games, the streak has allowed just one quarterback to throw for more than 150 yards and five others have thrown for fewer than 100.
Just A Matter Of Time
Dean is last in the ECFC in rushing yards per game, but things may have begun to turn in their last contest. DeAndre Grange (Teaneck, N.J.) broke free for a 50-yard gallop as part of his career-high 83 yards rushing. That was the case last season where the Bulldog running game started off slow but it then took off, rushing for more than 200 yards in three of four games when they racked up 915 yards in those four games – including 244 against Becker.
We're Going!
Dean has already gone for it on fourth down nine times this season, converting six of those opportunities. In 2017, the Bulldogs went for it on fourth down 29 times, converting just seven times.
Any Way We Can
In the 13 games since Dean began competing as an NCAA Division III team, they have scored seven non-offensive touchdowns, including three this season.
Quick Pit Stop
The Bulldogs return home next Saturday for just their second home contest of the season when they welcome Alfred State to begin the ECFC portion of their schedule. They then hit the road for two more contests before finishing the season out with three straight home games.

报告题目:Programmable Nano-Systems:form Designed Architectures to Controllable Processes
报 告 人:Professor Oleg Gang(Columbia University)
The ability to organize nano-components into the desired organizations is often a limiting factor in creating functional material systems. Our efforts are focused in establishing a broadly applicable platform based on DNA to address this challenge. DNA provides powerful means for interaction encoding, and much progress was achieved recently by the field in ability to tailor DNA structures. However, it is challenging to prescribe the architecture or behavior of the entire nanoscale system, as well as translate the advanced in DNA constructs into material design.
Our research explores novel concepts for creating targeted static and dynamic nanoarchitectures by bridging DNA-encoded nano-objects with structural plasticity and programmability of DNA macromolecular structures. Through establishing assembly approaches and revealing the physical phenomena that govern systems with DNA-encoded interactions, we develop methods for creation of well-defined three-dimensional lattices, two-dimensional membranes and finite-sized clusters from the multiple types of the nano-components. Our recent progress demonstrates strategy for organizing such nano-components as nanoparticles and proteins into ordered 3D arrays with engineered crystallographic symmetries, and clusters with prescribed rchitectures, as probed by x-ray scattering, electron microscopy and tomographic methods. These ssembly approaches are also used to control a system dynamic behavior: structural ransformations, specific triggering of desired configurations and molecular amplification. The pplications of the DNA-based assembly platform for creation of nanomaterials with optical,mechanical, chemical and biomedical functions will be also discussed.

Competition makes lyuboyu industry dynamic and rapidly changing, as what the role of information in economic activity. Website development companies – the main tool for obtaining and presenting information on companies using the Internet. The creation of corporate web site offers opportunities for quality work with the information to improve productivity and efficiency activity. Without information we can not build a successful business. That's why a permanent job with the information becomes a task of particular importance, as when creating sites, and in the process of automating the enterprise and its daily activities. This task should be an integral part of company culture, assuming a willingness to innovate business processes, including the reengineering of business processes. Organization, recognized the importance of information in business derives significant competitive advantage. Work with information to create brings several advantages: 1.
The cost of creating sites for competent work with information from the customer, is usually much smaller. 2. Properly constructed site is able to qualitatively represent the information about you, answering all questions of interest to the customer and reducing the load on personnel. 3. Site created with the functions of collecting and analyzing market research promotes quality and facilitate decision making.
The main innovation in the creation of corporate websites and business automation, We believe that due to the active development of the market, in which the survival of enterprises need a computer study of decision-making, as well as expanding the scope of the information. Creating a good Site helps to ensure the information needed for decision-making, creating e-business office of the company. For our businesses beginning of the transition to a market economy marked a new stage of computerization. In practice, one can observe cases where two identical profiles of Belarusian enterprises in different market situations. Of course, there a basis – an approach to work and organizing information. The development of sites here do not exception, as many other Belarusian companies do not have their own electronic resources, and a lot of what he says. It should be emphasized that the computerization of itself can not ensure profitability. Computerization of which requires financial costs can only increase or decrease the effectiveness of the enterprise market. The importance of information and manifests itself in preparation for the creation of the site. How much representative of the customer to be thought out structure of the information and options for its presentation, will depend on the quality of the resource, its ability to generate revenue and result. Website development is often accompanied by neglect customers, lack of initiative, and as a result – a high probability of obtaining low-quality product.

This is Sekiji. I'm currently in the big city Belem which is located at
the estuary of Amazon River.
I tried to ride through Brazil in 180 days which Brazilian Visa gave me.
But I couldn't.
It was too big for the half year touring. Also people are so kind and
they make my trip slow.
Officially I'm already an illegal visitant.
I gave up the original plan which is to ride through French Guyana,
Suriname and Guyana. Because I need to reenter Brazil after Guyana
before Venezuela. There are no frontier between Guyana and Venezuela.
So I'll take a boat to the upper reaches of the Amazon. Then I'll ride
again into the jungle toward Venezuela.
Of course it makes illegal stay long, but it can be solved by paying
penalty. The problem is there are no way to reenter to Brazil.
I regret a bit. But I'll enjoy the Amazon River trip instead of these 3
I guess at the beginning of the new year I'll be in Venezuela and
Colombia for finishing South American touring.
Have a merry Christmas and happy new year!

Hi there!
I'm sorry for very few reporting like always.
The schedule haven't progressed, because I got sick twice with flu and
Herpes zoster in these one month and a half.
And... it's quite often to meet, to know with kind Brazilian and
cyclists here. Then... also my travel plan in Brazil gets delayed,
because I can't say bye after staying only a night at their house, needs
more time to know each other.
I've spent almost half of 6 month limit, so I might need to take shorter
way. I hate they put this rule on us.
Well, I've updated some pictures. Have a look!

Bom Dia!
I'm writing you from the island in the Atlantic Ocean named Santa Catarina!
It's already almost a month since I entered in Brazil.
I started to ride according to a plan which (named Ideal Ride in Brazil
in Six Month) made by a Brazilian cyclist who I met in Bolivia last year.
Why six month? Because Japanese can't stay more then 180 days a year in
Brazil for visa things.
Cities in southern Brazil are shipshape, very safe and most of them are
white people. It has big difference against my prejudice which... a bit
dangerous, more blacks, very cheerful, etc...
Scenic mountain views as well. Huge open acres and zigzag path are
nothing looks like Amazon jungle and white sand beach which are my
prejudice of Brazil.
Now I'm very excited because I received lots of invitation from all over
Brazil through internet chain reaction.
I'm taking advantage of a hospitality from Brazilian cyclist here in
Florianopolis as well.
So, I'm really enjoying staying in Brazil!
P.S. I'm getting accustomed to Portuguese a bit.

Subject: Pedaling around the World Newsletter Vol.25 (Nov. 21st 2008)
Dear friends!
I came back to Bolivian capital La Paz almost after a year on northward
journey. It's already 6,500km from southern tip.
La Paz is the world highest capital city on 3,600m above sea level and
El Alto where the international airport is has 4,100m high. Boeing and
Airbus test their new aircraft at this airport, one of this newsletter
reader told me a year ago.
Though I was planning to travel along the Atlantic side from Argentina,
Uruguay to Brazil directly at first, I came back to the Andes in order
to ride on the top of South American highlight "Salar de Uyuni". Though
the itinerary got behind, it was great opportunity to visit the people
who helped me on the way to Ushuaia and report on my trip to them.
But all the way wasn't perfect. The intense wind hurt one of my eyes in
the Andes of northern Argentina. I went back to Argentine last big city;
Salta to see the doctor and recover from it. Moreover I got bronchitis
just after I re-started from there. After 4 days hospitalization in
small mountain village, I went back to Salta again. I lost 2 month
altogether at same place finally.
The bad luck wasn't only the injury and the sickness. I had some of my
equipments stolen at the contingent of Argentine army. They were keeping
my bike while I was in the hospital. I drooped with grief because it was
first robbery in 4 years moreover by the army who must be very ordered,
and also for bad physical condition.
But the doldrums also brought me good luck. I encountered American and
German cyclists who I met in Patagonia a half year ago by accident. We
shared trials and tribulations toward Salar de Uyuni in South part of
Bolivia with one more cyclist who is from Russia.
Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 10,500 square km.
It's honor to ride on this flat where white ground stretches as far as
the eye can see. Because the major way to access to the flat is on 4WD.
Moreover the area which includes Eduardo Avaroa Reserve from Chilean
border to salt flat has lots of highlights such as colorful lakes,
flamingos, hot spring, geyser and rocks in strange shape. It was a great
experience to share this area with 3 companies in two weeks.
My destination goes Paraguay and Northern Argentina through Bolivian
jungle after we separated each other.

Sorry for long silence, as always.
After the big U-turn in Patagonia, I came back to north Argentina where
I was almost 6 month ago.
Patagonia which is known as an outdoor brand is a geographic region of
South America. Its south of latitude 40 degrees approximately.
If you see the world map you can realize all Patagonia region is put on
much south than the southern tips of African and Australian continent.
It's not so near to the polar region as like as Russia, Canada and
Alaska in the Northern Hemisphere. But it's cold enough in the winter
there. I was running away from this cold and the Patagonia on Atlantic side.
I could know the beautiful side of Argentina on this trip to north.
I usually receive much hospitality in the country region. Argentina is
like many others too.
But I feel it only in Atlantic side of Argentina. People who lives in
People who lives in Pacific side of Patagonia is not interested so much
in us because they had seen a bunch of cyclists.
There is an area where 150 cyclists come every year. I also met more
than 10 cyclists in less than 10 days in this area.
What with this and that, there was poor opportunity to know people when
I was heading to south; but the way to Buenos Aires was YES.
Gas plant workers, Public Gym, Cowboys, etc...
I'm still only riding without doing sightseeing because I'm pushed for
time. But now I have good memory of Argentina and it has became one of
my favorite countries.
I will be in the Andes for a while in Chile and Bolivia, and then come

How are you going?
Finally... Eventually... At long last... I've got to the southern tip
after three and half years.
After I left Chilean capital Santiago, I was always cycling with very
few rest in about two months. I lost many interesting places because of
the time and season.
I told me many times that this is not my way. It was my fault, I had to
plan well.
Now I continue to ride heading to Colombia where my friends wait me.
The hasty trip will goes on other some months.
I've updated My Track and Photo Gallery page. Check it out!

Newsletter Vol.22 (Feb. 27th 2008)
Subject: Pedaling around the World Newsletter Vol.22 (Feb. 27th 2008)
Hi there!
I'm staying in Santiago, capital of Chile.
Let's report how the trip was after Cusco and Machu Picchu.
< The way of Casa de Ciclistas >
Casa de Ciclista can be translated like cyclist's houses. They invite
us, host us and help us. We can find it on almost every country in South
It's the place where we can take a rest, we can meet each other and the
information makes rendezvous.
After I left Cusco, I visited 4 Casa de Ciclistas.
I'll call it Casa from now on.
< I was stuck in La Paz >
In La Paz; the capital of Bolivia I was staying long in a Casa.
Because their house was so comfortable and I got to know some
interesting people who lives off a fund which is managed by mistress.
These young men who live in dorms are very curious. We enjoyed cultural
< I missed the most IMPORTANT place >
There is a small city which is called POTOSI in south part of Bolivia.
It prospered in gold and silver mining. I stayed in a casa here as well.
Approximately 200km west of this city, there is a huge pan which is
called Salar de Uyuni, has 12,000 square kilometer. This huge pan is
often compared to a snowfield for its look. But there is a big
difference between these. It's solid ground which means I can ride bike
in this place.
It was going to be the biggest event in South America. Means I couldn't
It just had started the off-season, but had enough time to save the
water which can influence the bike over the pan.
However I never can leave this interesting place. After I was against
the map for hours and days together, I decided to come back to Bolivia
to know this place later.
< Stuck again >
I stayed twice at the casa for a few days after I entered to Argentina.
The second casa in Salta had received more than 100 cyclists in three
years. Because I felt so comfortable also they gave me a hearty welcome,
I was stuck in the casa again. I won also 100th visitor.
There is other incredible fact. They receive 6 pairs, 10 cyclists while
I was staying here.
When I'll go back to Bolivia, I'll be back here too.
< Homesick for the Andes healed up >
As you know the border between Argentina and Chile is in the Andes.
This means it's necessary to ride up to more than 4,000m high for
crossing the border.
Because I was tired of the South American summer, I welcomed this trip.
The border which I chose is opened only for three months in one year and
also has some snow on the top even if it's in the summer.
It was a bit hard to ride because of the cold and the gravel road, but I
could see such a beautiful Andes which doesn't have any electric wire.
< Easter Island >
It seems that Chile's economy is one of the highest in South America.
It's quite expensive for me especially after traveling around Peru and
However I was under this situation, I went to Easter Island paying a
large amount.
The island which is located in 5 hours flight from Santiago and in 400km
far from the Chilean coast has only 120 square kilometers. It's same as
1 in 10 of Salar de Uyuni which I mentioned above.
They speak Spanish because it's Chilean territory but their origin is
Polynesian, same as Hawaii and Tahiti.
I felt it had not been so much commercialized yet. We can still see the
Moais at point-blank range. It was fabulous.
< And then >
I have to arrive at bottom of South America before the winter comes,
otherwise I'll need to stay other year in South America.
After I leave Santiago, I'll cross the border to Argentina then start to
ride to south.
I expect to disconnect from you long time again but I try to keep
updating current place on Google map. So please don't worry about me.

I'm so sorry I left to write you such a long time.
I can't take a time to write draft of newsletter now.
I just want to let you know I'm O.K. and traveling in Argentina now.
There is some update on Photo Gallery and My Track page. Please have a look!
Newsletter Vol.21 (Nov. 19 2007)
Subject: Pedaling around the World Newsletter Vol.21 (Nov. 19 2007)
Hi, everybody! I'm writing you from Cusco.
After I went to Machu Picchu I lost tension and I caught a cold. But now
I'm getting better.
<So Tough>
I went back to a town in Andes where I left my bike, by bus on October
17th. When I wake up in the morning I couldn't breathe well because the
bus traveled from sea level to 4300m overnight.
But I started to ride soon because I could adapt to few oxygen also I
didn't have altitude sickness. Thought it is high, it was not difficult
to ride at the beginning because the road is paved.
However, the comfortable ride didn't continue so long.
I needed to climb up more than 20,000m in total on the last 1,000km to
get to here. 20,000m means still far above the jumbo jet flying
altitude. Moreover, the half part was horrible unpaved.
You can see how it was by the altitude profile. Check My Track -> Perú
-> Huancayo-Cusco!
The hard things wasn't only the road condition. The hail of bullets shot
me so hard..., slept stormy nights in the tent..., the muddy road didn't
allow me to ride, neither to walk...
I got to here at long last with so much fatigue.
Though the ride was quite hard, the landscape of the Andes was so much
beautiful. I really enjoyed the Andes ride.
<I saw Machu Picchu at last>
I got to Cusco where it was the capital of the Inca Empire and also it's
the base to visit to Machu Picchu which is one of the New Seven Wonders
of the World, after almost 2 weeks ride.
Machu Picchu is located in the mountain about 70km from Cusco and there
is two ways to get to there which are by train or by foot.
I went to Machu Picchu by train with two Japanese who I met here in Cusco.
The ruins are quite small, but there are some place where we can see
whole ruins though it is hard to get to there.
We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed 3 days at Machu Picchu.
There is a site where you can enjoy virtual Machu Picchu.
New Seven Wonders of the World which were selected by NewOpenWorld
Foundation on July 7th 2007.
<To Bolivia>
After I got back to Cusco, I met 9 cyclists (5 pairs) all at once at a
hostel where I stay now after I wait so long to meet them.
An astonishing thing is two of them are cycling with their child!
Actually I had heard about them long time ago and fortunately I could
catch up with them here.
I could have an excellent time here, talking with them, resting my body.
I'd like to be here more but I have to leave because it's still long way
to get to the end of South America. So I'll leave here soon heading to

"Heaven! Wait!" Gats calls. I don"t want to wait. I want to leave this building before I slaughter some poor, innocent house plant. The night is still young and there"s plenty of time for patrol. I storm the hall for the elevator, cursing Angelos all the while. Traitor. Next time he"s falling to his death Jaylin can go save his sorry butt. "Hev! Don"t be like that!"
I whirl around. "I can "be" any way I want to be! Leave me alone!" He barrels into me before I can get out of the way. We hit the ground. The impact knocks the wind out of me and I lie there, gasping like a fish out of water. "Thanks a lot, Gats."
"Well, excuse me, princess."
I cringe. Not only from his Legend of Zelda animated series reference, but from the whole "princess" thing. "Please don"t call me that."
He rolls over and props himself on his side. "You okay?"
I sit up. "I don"t want to talk about it."
"Well, that can"t be good," he says. I scan him up and down, soaking in each detail. The skinny jeans, the black tee, the woke-up-like-this perfectly styled white hair. If I he was a stranger wandering the streets, I"d ask him if he were lost and remind him the closest modeling studio is forty minutes away. He frowns. "You"re bleeding."
I wipe the side of my mouth. "I"m always bleeding."
"Are you hurt?"
I try to stand up, but he grabs my hand. I glare. "I"m always hurt."
He sighs. "Heaven, calm down. You just woke up a few hours ago. I know you and Jaylin don"t like each other--"
"She broke into your house and tied you to a chair, Gats. You think I"m going to forgive her for that?"
He looks away. "She let us escape. She saved your life, Angel"s too."
I"m boiling up inside. "He took her side."
"You tore her apart." He laughs. "Of course he took her bloody side! If you had lost, Angel would"ve picked you up and carried you out. But lucky for us Cat got her butt kicked. What did she say to you?"
I take a long breath and count to twenty-five. What am I supposed to say? She said you didn"t love me. I cringe. No. It doesn"t matter if he loves me or not. I don"t need him. He"s nice, but if he doesn"t like me, that"s fine. I don"t care. I don"t.
What else? That I"m not a true hero. That I"m only popular as a superhero because boys like me. That Gatsby had to rescue me and I needed help and I couldn"t save myself. "She called me a princess."
He gives me a long look and then sighs like an old man. "Love you, Hev, but I think you overreacted this time."
"She said other stuff too," I add. He"s laughing now and I shove him. He shoves me back.
"You kind of are a princess, you know?"
I pull away. "Oh, okay. Be like that. I need to patrol anyway--"
"Aww, Hev." He springs to his feet. "I mean that in a good way. Like, you know Mulan? How she wasn"t technically a real princess but Disney recognized her badassery and put her in the princess club anyway? You"re like that."
I blink. Mulan. I could get behind her. "Really?"
"Yeah." He purrs, and by "purrs" I mean he"s real-deal cat purring. "I think you"re great."
"Uh." My heart"s beating all out of whack and I don"t know what to do. What can I say? I punch people. I don"t understand the intricacies of courtship and this romance-shomance stuff, let alone how to flirt with the guy who I made out with, I don"t know, a week or two ago. We haven"t even been on a date. Actually, I"ve never been on a date. With anyone. Ever. If I am a "siren," then my personality sure scares off all the gents.
Frankly, it sucks Gats knows how to put the moves on and I don"t. He stoops a little so he"s at my eye-level. That"s right. I"m so short even Gats has to stoop for me. "I"m just happy you"re okay. I don"t know what I"d do if you died."
"Huh." I think I told him I"d marry him or something
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry's life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend's uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
y do you hate Mr. Mason so much?"
"If you took his class you"d know." I shrug. "Anyway, that"s running away from your problems. Moving away from some place because dangerous supervillains know where you live isn"t running away from your problems, it"s called "common sense.""
He just shrugs back. "I like it here. I don"t ever want to move again, Hev, ever. Even if it kills me."
"Well, it just might." I cross my arms. "If I can"t talk some sense into you, maybe Juniper will understand."
"Yeah?" His voice cracks. He turns away. "Well, be like that bossy Miss-I-know-what"s-best-for-everyone!"
I glare, but I don"t say anything back. I am bossy. And I do know what"s best. I turn my back to him and stare at the brown walls. When we hit the ground floor, I leave. Just silently turn my back, speed walk through the lobby, and leave the building. The wind"s brisk. The sidewalks are empty.
"Hey kid!" someone shouts. I don"t look up. Which alleyways lead quickest to Kimberly Strip? There are so many people who live there and can"t afford to have their shops graffitied or their windows smashed in. I try not to think about Angel and Gats being mad at me.
Let them be mad. I don"t care. "Kid!" I stuff my hands in my pockets and flick my eyes to the street.
Black van. Oh. That"s not good. I"ve watched my fair share of action movies, I know what misfortune those suckers bring. It"s trailing me, isn"t it? I walk faster, wedging myself closer to the shop windows. I check my reflection in the glass. Yup. It"s trailing, definitely trailing me.
I fumble for my phone. I flick my eyes to the window again and see the vehicle stop and the passenger door open. "Yo, kid! Heaven!"
My phone hits the pavement and smashes into itty-bits of broken plastic when I hear my name. My super-speed"s still in the works. I can"t outrun that machine!
Someone"s wearing a mask. So Poison wasn"t lying about that "saving the effort" stuff. Snare planned to take me the moment I left my building.
You see, this is why I spent all that time hiding my identity. Not because showing my face would make me a "less effective crime-fighter" or whatever that means, but so people wouldn"t try to shoot me. Or follow me around in black vans. Angel"s lucky, Snare and Syndicate had some sort of treaty barring either of them from stealing him. Only a third party, a neutral like Cat, could. And she didn"t carry a gun or drive a black van. These guys though?
Yeah, no. They"re not taking me, not without a fight. I hit "panic" and run.

Snap to a point or line
Snap to a point or line
Most commands ask you to pick points to place objects in the model or drawing. This is called snapping. When you are creating a new object, Tekla Structures displays snap symbols for the available snap points and displays a green line between the snap pointpoint to which Tekla Structures snaps
and the last point picked. Use the snap switches to control which positions you can snap to.
Tekla Structures displays snap dimensions to help you create objects of a desired length. Use the advanced option XS_DISPLAY_DIMENSIONS_WHEN_CREATING_OBJECTS to switch the snap dimensions on or off.
Snap to a line
Use the Snap to line snap switchswitch used for controlling what kind of points Tekla Structures snaps to
The user needs to activate snap switches to be able to pick different points, for example, line ends and intersections.
Snap switches help the user to pick points in order to position model objects precisely without having to know the coordinates or create additional lines or points.
when modeling objects that should be lined up with an existing object or a grid linesingle line that visualizes a single grid plane on a view plane
- Ensure that theSnap to line snap switch is active.
- Run a command that requires you to pick two or more points.
For example, start creating a beam. When you move the mouse pointer over a nearby object, Tekla Structures automatically picks both ends of the line. The yellow arrow symbol indicates the direction of the points.
- To switch direction, move the mouse pointer closer to the opposite end of the line.
- Click the left mouse button to confirm the snap position.
Tekla Structures creates the object. For example:
Snap to extension lines
You can snap to the extension lines of nearby objects. This can be useful, for example, when you want to align objects with one another.
- Ensure that the correct snap switches are active:
Switch onSnap to extension lines
Switch on eitherSnap to intersection points orSnap to nearest points (points on line) if you are snapping to the intersection of an extension line(1) temporary line in a model that can be used for aligning objects with each other
(1) Extension lines can be used when snapping or creating points.
(2) line in a drawing that is perpendicular to a dimension line and that connects the dimension line to the building object
and a grid line
Switch offSnap to end points if you are working in 3D
- Run a command that requires you to pick points.
For example, start creating a plate(1) part that represents a flat structure
(1) In some contexts, for example in analysis, the term plate object may be used to refer to plates.
(2) plate that represents a steel structure
(2) Plate is mainly used as a connection piece or as a floor plate.
or slabplate that represents a concrete structure
In Tekla Structures, a slab is created by picking three or more points.
Slab may be part of a floor, for example.
- Move the mouse pointer close to nearby objects to see the extension lines.
When a line is found, you can move the pointer further away while keeping the snap.
- Pick the rest of the points.
Tekla Structures creates the object:
Snap to orthogonal points
Use the Ortho tool to snap to the closest orthogonalview projection that displays objects in right-angles projection
In model view the size of the objects is the same despite of their distance to the viewing point and the zoom remains on part faces.
point on the plane (0, 45, 90, 135, 180 degrees, and so on). The mouse pointer automatically snaps to positions at even distances in the given direction. This can be useful, for example, if you need to place marks in a consistent manner in exact locations in a drawing.
- On the File menu, click Settings and select the Ortho check box.
Alternatively, you can press O.
- Run a command that requires you to pick points.
For example, start creating a beam. Tekla Structures displays an angle symbol to indicate the direction of snapping. The snapping precision depends on the current zoom level.
- Click the left mouse button to confirm the snap position.
Tekla Structures creates the object. For example:
Snap relative to previously picked points
When you create objects that require you to pick more than two points, you can snap in orthogonal directions relative to the two previously picked points. This can be useful, for example, if you need to create a rectangular slab that is on the view planeplane in a space that defines the view
In Tekla Structures, the grids are projected onto the view plane and the grid lines can be visible on it.
View depth is defined starting from the view plane.
but not along the x and y axes.
- Run a command that requires you to pick multiple points. For example, start creating a polybeampart of a certain shape that is created as a continuous chain of beams passing through points that the user picks
The segments of the polybeam are straight, but segment intersections can be curved. For example, a beam that follows a zigzag line is a polybeam.
or a rectangular slab.
- Pick the first two points.
Tekla Structures displays an angle symbol to indicate the direction of snapping.
- Move the mouse pointer in the model to see the angle symbol.
When the snap is orthogonal to the work planeplane that the user has chosen in a model and that is currently active for working on in a model view
Newly created, copied, or moved model objects comply with the work plane. For example, shifting the work plane to follow a sloped plane makes it easier to model sloped structures.
, the color of the angle symbol is green:
When the snap is orthogonal to the previous points, the color of the angle symbol changes to yellow:
- Pick the rest of the points.
Tekla Structures creates the object. For example:
Create a temporary reference point
You can create a temporary reference pointpoint that Tekla Structures creates when the user creates a model object, the point being visualized as a handle
The reference points follow the model object if it is moved. They are only deleted if the related model object is deleted.
Reference points can be selected as snap points in a snap switch.
to use as a local origin when snapping in models and drawings.
- Run a command that requires you to pick points.
For example, start creating a beam.
- Pick the start point.
- Hold down the Ctrl key and pick a position.
A green cross indicates that this position is now a temporary reference point.
- Repeat step 3 to create as many reference points as needed.
- Release the Ctrl key and pick the end point.
Tekla Structures creates the object between the start point and the end point. For example:
Lock X, Y, or Z coordinate
You can lockto prevent unwanted action in a model or a drawing
It is possible to lock model objects, reference models, and drawings, for example.
the x, y, and z coordinates on a line. This is useful when you need to determine a point to pick and the needed point does not exist on the line. When a coordinate is locked, you can only snap to points in that direction.
- Run a command that requires you to pick positions.
For example, start creating a beam.
- Lock a coordinate:
- To lock the x coordinate, press X.
- To lock the y coordinate, press Y.
- To lock the z coordinate, press Z.
Now you can only snap to points in the chosen direction.
- To unlock the coordinate, press the same letter ( X , Y , or Z ) again.

Garry Tonon Submits UFC Veteran Javier Vazquez at Gracie Nationals 2015
Garry Tonon tapped out UFC veteran Javier Vazquez at Gracie Nationals 2015. | Photo: Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
It was the proverbial passing of the torch in the main event of the Gracie Nationals 2015 as Garry Tonon submitted Javier Vazquez in their no-gi match with a superb triangle choke.
Tonon, a black belt in jiu-jitsu under Tom DeBlass, has been tearing apart the grappling world these past few years and is among the elite of the newer breed of submission artist. He is coming off submission wins in both Metamoris and Polaris, but today on the mats of the LA Fitness Expo in the Los Angeles Convention Center, the Brunswick BJJ fighter took his first major step toward greatness with his victory over "Showtime."
The two wasted little time in getting down to business, but Tonon was more aggressive early on. Vazquez defended everything his younger opponent threw at him, but the former World Extreme Cagefighting, Shooto and Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran couldn't get into the sort of rhythm he coveted. Tonon, the heavier of the two at 170 pounds, eventually opened up his arsenal fully and continuously shifted from high to low attacks, leaving Vazquez vulnerable.

Tonon achieved mount, hunted for key locks, switched to leg locks, back to side control and mount, and then back down to foot and leg locks. "The Lion Killer" was all over Vazquez, who could only defend at this juncture. Eventually, Tonon switched a leg lock attempt into a side triangle choke, where Javi mistimed his defense and found himself stuck. The Carlson Gracie (via Rodrigo Medeiros) black belt rolled over onto his knees but was unable to posture up or escape. Eventually, Vazquez had no choice but to tap out, awarding Tonon the sensational victory, among the greatest of his career.
Renzo Gracie black belt Eddie Cummings was extraordinarily patient during his conquest of Denny Prokopos, eventually submitting him with a leg lock. Cummings spent most of the time on the seat of his trunks, trying to sucker his 10th Planet BJJ foe into a trap.
Prokopos was more aggressive throughout their encounter, but he suddenly found himself stuck in a tight body triangle and forced to fend off a rear-naked choke attempt for a few minutes. Cummings wasn't able to quite get the choke latched on and his opponent eventually slinked himself out and back onto his feet.
After several moments of wrist play and arm drag attempts, the two 155-pound men were briefly in 50/50 guard, where Cummings ended the contest.
Cummings switched from an ankle lock to a heel hook, both of which the Southern California fighter escaped. But once Cummings transitioned back into the straight leg lock, Prokopos couldn't free himself and had to tap.
