The Camera Is My 3rd Eye > Ruth Maddison06.06.2013
Regional Arts NSW and Sydney gallery, Artspace have announced Ruth Maddison as the recipient of the residency offered at the end of this year. She talks to Estelle Pigot about her work as a regional photographer based in Eden on the NSW South Coast, and sharing the view through her lens.
"In 1976 I was living in a group household that included two photographers and Circus Oz members. There was a darkroom set up in the house and I was encouraged by Ponch Hawkes (friend, photographer and house member) to use her camera if I wanted," Ruth recalls. "She took me upstairs to the darkroom and showed me how to process and print. It was love at first negative. I had my first commercial work 6 months later and my first solo exhibition after 3 years."
The photographer moved from Melbourne in 1996 in search of a change that included a house without a mortgage, near the sea and with space to work from home, and found Eden. She found less distractions from her work which she describes herself as being "completely devoted to" (read; obsessed by) and found that the move out of a city environment opened up her practice beyond the portrait and documentary genres.
"I feel like a camera is my third eye and I am constantly 'framing up' – whether I have a camera with me or not."
Ruth says that these days her themes traverse "pretty much everything" but what she most cared about are untold stories that reveal something about the shared human experience rather than the headline-snatching tales that drive wedges between people.
"What I explore most is our everyday lives lived in our communities. I care about untold stories that show us our common humanity," she explains. "More and more, newspaper headlines seem to separate us rather than unite us. That approach to 'news' is very politically reactionary and makes me feel helpless as an individual."
Her work also explores themes of decay, death and mortality using botanical material and personal objects, "I think of all the work I make as documentary, because I am documenting the passage of my own life via the images I make."
Over the years, Ruth has been the subject of a number of documentaries and interviews which examine her life in Eden as a practicing artist. It seems the public is as fascinated by her seachange as she is. She has often talked about the challenges and frustrations of being a creative working outside a city, and the stark contrast of these two environments. It's a subject she claims she could "fill pages" discussing.
"I had only ever been a city girl, so moving certainly opened my eyes to the parallel universe of living in a small regional town," she explains.
"By the time I moved to Eden I already had a long, established career that included a wide range of freelance work, major commissions, exhibitions, and lecturing. This history provides me with an enormous range of contacts on many levels which I can still access and is enormously important. But the biggest frustration for me is the absence of a professional peer group to move ideas around with – mine and theirs – and for critical feedback on a regular basis."
Ruth's practice has evolved with the technology of her craft. She describes the change from analogue to digital as a "major move" but one that was inevitable. Her dependence on equipment ("laptop, large screen, massive printer, scanner, main camera") poses the constant threat of a technology fail; "Since coming out of the darkroom into the lightroom, if anything goes seriously kaput it's a major production involving carefully packaging up and driving hundreds of kms to the city for the equipment hospital."
Ruth's camera has been trained on the teenagers living in Eden, the subject of a lot of her work . Since living in the town, she has been particularly interested in documenting local youths' experiences through interviews paired with her photography, capturing the unique voice of the town's young people. The town has a history of commercial fishing and timber mills, and the photographer asks questions about what it is like to grow up in a place like Eden and what the youth see as their future.
She has also exhibited a mixed media project called, There is a Time, which brought together stills, video, light-boxes, dried botanical objects, printing images on fabric and incorporated sewing to present a multi-layered exploration on the Monaro Plain.
"Living here has also opened me to looking at landscape and ideas of what lies below; literally and historically," she says. "Making all of that work was exciting – new problems to solve – and I am particularly keen to use sewing again. "
This year, Regional Arts NSW partnered for the first time with Woolloomooloo gallery, Artspace, to create an opportunity for a regional artist to complete a 3-month residency at the gallery.
CEO of Regional Arts NSW, Elizabeth Rogers, collaborated with Artspace director Blair French to bring about the residency, to address the lack of opportunities for regional artists to benefit from the city art scene. "There are so many existing opportunities for city-based artists to go out into regional areas for career-developing experiences," Elizabeth says. "But this residency is unique in that it supports a regional artist with dedicated time in Sydney, cultivating their creative practice, in order to accelerate their arts practice and career."
For Ruth, she already feels energised as she looks forward to the residency in October. "A residency is incredibly energetic and productive and stimulating. It's a powerful thing to have that concentration and devotion to the task that a residency provides.
"I was hanging out for something like this, because after 15 years in Eden I was just starting to feel like the isolation was becoming counter-productive." She plans to take advantage of the time in Sydney to build new professional networks and fully immerse herself in the cultural exposure that the city can offer.
"I always feel like my practice moves along in some permanent ways after a residency is completed. I hope to move my current project ideas along, hopefully start something new as well, see as many exhibitions as I can, do some workshops that will help skills development, and be a contributing member of an artist's community for 3 months."
This fully-funded residency opportunity is offered in association with Regional Arts NSW and sponsored by the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund.
Regional Arts NSW congratulates Ruth Maddison and will be documenting part of her residency later in the year. To see more of her work visit South East Arts'website, here.

Jo-Jo, a past resident of the "big blue house" was the first woman also to utilize a sponsor family. She lived with Les and Cathy, after giving birth to Summer (pictured to left). Summer has recently graduated from college with a degree in Family Studies & Human Development/Education. She continues to spread God's love through her life, recently traveling to Africa on a mission trip.
Bethany House allowed Mom Jo-Jo to thrive and embrace life, and now, decades later, that first baby in our first sponsor family is impacting the world, truly being His hands extended.
Recently, Les, Summer's sponsor family 'father' had Summer on his mind, sharing this: "I was just thinking of Summer this morning, when I ran across this music video. It reminds me of all the mothers that made the hard choice; all the children that have brought us so much pride & joy; all the amazing supporters of Bethany House, all those who worked to make it happen and our own Beth who carried the dream into History. This dream has been duplicated in many places, but here, we have seen over 800 new lives brought into this world. This song is for you and for all the pride & joy our Summer brings – thanks Beth Rhinehart!"

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A whirlwind four minutes that included 63-yard foot race, a defensive touchdown, a botched trick play and a blocked punt very well may have changed the trajectory of Ohio State's season.
How much you think Saturday's game against TCU mattered as a College Football Playoff resume point for the Buckeyes depended on what you think of the Big Ten, and how the champion of a league that saw its trendy preseason playoff pick -- Wisconsin -- lose earlier on Saturday would be viewed at the end of the season.
That's an unknown still. Better for Ohio State to get a win that will matter now just in case.
That third-quarter sequence, technically 4:01 of craziness, helped the No. 4 Buckeyes turn the course of the game and leave AT&T Stadium with a 40-28 win over the No. 15 Horned Frogs.
Ohio State (3-0) got through its three-game stretch without head coach Urban Meyer without a loss, and now a marquee victory. Meyer will be back on the sideline next Saturday against Tulane.
The Buckeye reversal of fortune started with a 63-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Parris Campbell, a tunnel screen that was well-blocked and got Ohio State's fastest playmaker into the open field. That cut TCU's lead to 21-19 with 6:58 left after a failed two-point conversion attempt. Sixty-four seconds later, OSU defensive tackle Dre'Mont Jones intercepted a shovel pass from TCU quarterback Shawn Robinson, returning it 28 yards for a touchdown and 26-21 Buckeye lead.
TCU tried to go Music City Miracle on the ensuing kickoff, but was flagged for an illegal forward pass when KaVontae Turpin tried to lateral the ball the width of the field. On fourth down on the ensuing drive, a bobbled snap by Horned Frogs punter Adam Nunez led to a blocked punt. Two plays later, Haskins hit K.J. Hill on a fade out of the slot for a 25-yard touchdown and a 33-21 lead with 2:57 left.
Three touchdowns in four minutes spun a game that looked to have TCU in position to get the most significant win of the early season.
"I would say the defensive score was the biggest one," acting head coach Ryan Day said. "Anytime you're playing in a game like this and you can win the turnover battle, that's our plan to win. We didn't turn the ball over, and we got three turnovers, two of them for scores. That's huge."
Ohio State's offense wasn't necessarily bottled up, but it was inconsistent and struggled to finish drives. Until Campbell's touchdown, the offense settled for three field goal attempts -- including one miss from kicker Sean Nuernberger -- while the group struggled with dropped passes, poor snapping that threw off the timing in the passing game and a running game that at times felt predictable.
OSU's only touchdown through nearly two-and-a-half quarters came when defensive end Nick Bosa stripped Robinson in the end zone and defensive tackle Davon Hamilton recovered it for a touchdown.
Meanwhile OSU's defense seemed to have trouble with TCU's tempo, its horizontal attack and the run threat that Robinson presents.
"They're (TCU) good at tempo," OSU defensive tackle Robert Landers said. "We prepped for it all week in practice, but we were not prepared for the amount of speed they had on the tempo, and the plays they ran in the opening series. But after a while we started to settled down and got a hang of the tempo."
A 93-yard touchdown run from Darius Anderson gave TCU a 14-10 lead in the second quarter. It was the longest rushing touchdown in program history for TCU, and the longest play from scrimmage ever allowed by Ohio State. It was the product of the Buckeyes getting caught with their nickel package on the field, and their linebackers still struggling with positioning.
Through three games Ohio State has seen inconsistent play from its linebackers and safeties -- a fact that was on display later in the game when TCU's TreVontae Hights caught a 51-yard touchdown pass while splitting a pair of defenders deep down the field.
TCU finished with 511 yards of total offense, the most for an Ohio State opponent since the Buckeyes gave up 536 in a win over Michigan State in 2014.
The Buckeyes had issues on both sides of the ball that nearly cost them against a good TCU team -- until that sequence late in the third quarter changed things.
Haskins, in his first test against a talented defense, was solid. He completed 24 of his 38 pass attempts for 344 yards and two touchdowns. And for the first time this season, we saw him keep the ball on a designed quarterback run play. His five-yard touchdown run with 12:30 left in the fourth quarter gave the Buckeyes its final cushion.
"This was a test to see where he was at," Day said. "I thought he passed."
J.K. Dobbins led Ohio State with 121 rushing yards on 18 carries. Mike Weber also had 18 carries, finishing with 64 yards. Hill led the OSU receivers with six carries for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Despite its inconsistencies, Ohio State finished with 526 yards of offense.
Nick Bosa injured
Junior defensive end Nick Bosa left the game early in the third quarter with an apparent leg injury. Bosa walked to the locker room under his own power, but limped back onto the sideline in street clothes late in the third quarter. At the time he left the game, Bosa had five tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
Day did not have an update on Bosa after the game.
What's next?
Ohio State is back home against Tulane. Kickoff from Ohio Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. on Big Ten Network.

I always wanted to have a cute couples calling with Jeff. So I guess you can say being called as joint cub masters is kind of my dream come true.
Except that I don't know the first thing about the scouting program, 8-year old boys or tan shirts.
My only memorable encounter with cub scouts is the one time my mom made me go to a pack meeting where they held my little brother upside down. And the only reason I remember that is because there's a picture of it.
Oh well, take away the awards, ceremonies and cheesy cheers and you're just left with a bunch of enthusiastic 8-year olds, right? That doesn't seem so bad. Until I realize my comfort range with children is limited to the ones that are 16-months old and younger. If Eli hasn't been there, I don't know how to deal with it. And whenever I try to think back on what I was like at that age, I'm reminded I have spent the majority of the last 15 years trying to recover from and forget that time of my life. Plus I've never been a boy.
And as far as the tan shirts go...
Because I spend the week before pack meeting lying awake at night second guessing all my plans. I spend the night before pack meeting counting and recounting handouts, treats and napkins. I spend the hour before pack meeting pacing the whole house telling Eli to cooperate if he knows what's good for him. Then I spend pack meeting realizing it's not really that bad.
Jeff did a great job conducting the awards portion for the first time, and the boys managed to stay somewhat interested in my activity for them. It's nice to have another pack meeting under our beltloops, and I'm already stressing about the next one. This calling might just be the death of me.

Hi, My name is Joyce and I normally use the Frontline on all my cats
I breed and sell Bengal Cats.
The story about Charlie and Natasha is very true
I ran out of the Frontline Flea Treatment and I only had two cats left to d and it was well past time for the vets to be closed so, I went to our local Wal Mart and I got some of the Hartz Plus Flea Treatment because I thought that they was a good company to buy from because they have been around for sveral years, and I put it on Charlie and Natasha.
I got up about 1 am and found Charlie having severe seisures, I washed him off as best I could and rushed him to the emergency vet hospital in Boone, NC where he was given immediate attention.
Charlie was in a coma state by the time I got him there.
I was told to come back home and come back in the moring at about 7 am.
When I returned back home I found Natasha having the same kind of seisures so, I rushed her to the same place for treatment.
The next morning when it was time to take them to the day vet when Charlie was unhooked from his IV he stopped breathing and his heart stopped.
Well I lost it then,I started crying so hard because I just knew that my baby was dieing.
The vet that was taking care of them during the night did CPR on him and was able to bring him back.
These two cats suffered very much because I put the Hartz Plus Flea Treatment on them.
If I had known that it was that dangerous I never would have used it on my babies.
These cats were in a coma for three days, and I was hurting so bad inside because I thought I was going to loose my babies
I couldn't eat or sleep or anything because I was just worring about these two babies.
When they finally got to come back home, they were not the same.
Charlie has problems with his back legs and Natasha's left eye doesn't focus.
The products that Hartz Mountain Corporation does make, is POISON
I tried contacting the Hartz Corporation but they say that they are not going to pay for any of this.
Someting has to be done about this and we have to do i
I spent out over $1600.00 on these two babies and I would do it again if I had to.
These babies mean the world to me, they are worth all the money in the world to me.
Charlie and Natasha's fate
Hi, My name is Joyce and I normally use the Frontline on all my cats

Old Content out of New – 4 Ideas for Reusing Old Content
It's hard to constantly come up with new content. The good news for content marketers is that you don't really have to. You can brush up old content or reformat it and create content that's just as relevant today as it was when you first published it.
Updating Old Content
One way to do this is to simply update an old blog post. Take something you wrote last year about recent changes in SEO and update it. Find out what's going on right now and add this to the article, while taking out stuff that's no longer relevant. You can even publish it as an update, using the same title and basic format.
Add Tips
If you have old informational articles lying around from the past, update them with some tips. For example, if you have an article explaining the basics of how phishing scams work, pare down the article a little and add some helpful tips your readers can use to keep themselves safe from phishing scams.
You can go the opposite direction as well. Take a tips based article and augment it with more background on the topic of the tips. If you have an article on mind mapping tips, for example, spice it up with some of the basics of where the idea of mind mapping came from.
Change Formats
You can always take old content and make it new again by changing the format. Take blog posts and articles and turn them into videos, podcasts or slideshow presentations. Turn old multimedia content into articles by typing them out (or better yet, using a voice transcription software program). You can take old articles and use them as talking points for videos, audios or interviews. Any type of content can be cut up and made into social media posts.
The Good Old Fashioned Rewrite
Finally, there's the good old fashioned rewrite. Take articles you wrote before and rewrite them line by line so that they're totally original. Although the basics are the same, the search engines see this as new content.
However, your readers may see these rewritten articles as just more of the same. To make them really good, try taking a different angle than you used before. Focus on tailoring it to a certain segment of your market. If you have weight loss articles on how to stretch effectively, rewrite it so that it's for new moms, lazy college students or relatively inactive seniors.
There are all kinds of ways you can take a different angle. One of my favorites is to turn the positive negative. Instead of tips to help your readers do something, give them common mistakes by simply turning each tip backwards.
You should always keep your old content around because you can brush it up and use it again.

The Best Running Sunglasses
What to Look For
Look for running sunglasses that offer both UVA and UVB radiation protection; otherwise, you risk damaging your eyes. Choose frames that are comfortable and fit firmly on your nose, preferably those with non-slip nose pads. Frames that sit further from your face or have vented sides and anti-fog lenses will keep your sunglasses from fogging up as you sweat. Wraparound frames will protect your eyes from all sides and fit snugly on your head.
Common Pitfalls
Avoid buying cheap, everyday sunglasses that look "sporty" and using them for running. Try on specialized frames, but avoid buying a pair of sunglasses that you've only tried on while standing still. Try on the running sunglasses and jog around the store before you buy them. You want a pair of sunglasses that will fit firmly and comfortably on your face and that will stay in place as you run. Choose lenses that are shatterproof in case you drop your sunglasses or if they fall off during a run.
Where to Buy
Running sunglasses can be found at most major sporting goods stores, but they may not have the largest selection. Look for high-quality frames at specialized running stores in your area or online. Roadrunner has one of the largest selections of running gear.
Running sunglasses can cost anywhere between $60 and $250. More expensive running sunglasses often come with interchangeable lenses which are a good idea for runners who run in a variety of conditions. These lenses can be changed out based on light levels.
Comparison Shopping
Choose the lens type and color based on the type of running that you do. Dark-colored lenses like blue, grey or brown work best for very bright conditions. Likewise, golden-tinted lenses are great for reduced-light conditions and can help you see bumps in your path. Polarized lenses can prevent very bright glares but aren't the best for runs near sunset as their lenses are dark to begin with. Clear lenses should only be used when it's very dark out or if you're just interested in protecting your eyes from the wind.
Insider Tips
Athletic Optics advises choosing running sunglasses with 100 percent UV protection. For runners who run on concrete, mirrored or polarized lenses can be a good choice as they will absorb 98 percent of the reflected glare, which will protect your eyes and make it easier to see in front of you.

Most of the women experience skin changes during pregnancy. The changes also occur in hair and nails. Most of the changes are temporary in nature and go away after pregnancy. The different changes observed in skin are stretch marks, brownish or yellowish patches around the eyes or over their cheeks and nose, dark line on the middle of their lower abdomen, and changes in the texture of hair and nail.
Take care
Most of us take care of what we eat and drink during our pregnancy. We are cautious about the well-being of the growing baby and their own health. But it is important to realise that whatever we use to apply on the skin is also equally important. What comes in direct contact with skin is of vital significance as it may cross the skin barrier and reach the foetus.
Is it safe?
It is important to consider what is safe for use during pregnancy and what is not. Certain topical products have the ability of being absorbed into the skin and can enter the bloodstream thus causing harm to the mother and the baby.
If the skin care product is targeted, then you have to be careful about the skin care regimen that is completely safe for the baby. Chemical and synthetic products such as retinoid, salicylic acid, and soy are best to be avoided during pregnancy.
Acne and pregnancy
The most common skin problem you face during pregnancy is acne especially in the area close to your mouth and chin. The problem of acne persists even after pregnancy in certain cases and most of the commonly used preparations are not safe to be used during pregnancy. Natural products such as those containing glycolic acid or alpha hydroxyl acids can be used.
You can use natural skin cosmetics, foundation for oily skin or loose powder mineral make up as they can absorb the excessive oil from the skin and do not cause any skin irritation. You can use blotting powder to remove the excess oil present on the skin.
Regular deep cleansing facials with natural herbal products can maintain a flawless complexion during pregnancy. This creates a clean and clear skin.
Pregnancy mask and pigmentation
American Academy of Dermatology has suggested that excessive exposure to sunlight should be avoided to prevent the appearance of dark patches around different regions on the skin. Use herbal sunscreen every time you go out. Always choose sunscreen with proper SPF factor.
A vitamin C product can also be applied for the cure of skin pigmentation.
Stretch marks in pregnancy
Use of a natural exfoliant every day or at least 4 times in a week can help in reducing stretch marks. Use of natural products such as shea butter and cocoa butter is also helpful in creating a soft skin with a visibly radiant glow on the skin. LED light therapy is also beneficial in reducing stretch marks post- delivery.
Some natural products great for skin during pregnancy
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is natural oil which has proven to be of great use in soothing and hydrating the skin cells and leaves a healthy and glowing skin behind. When used along with a moisturizer such as shea butter or aloe vera, Vitamin E oil gives deep nourishment to the skin, keep the skin moisturized and make it healthy. When Vitamin E oil is used along with the natural moisturizers it not only promotes hydration but their antioxidant action also works in reducing the signs of aging.
Keep your system clean and hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water in a day. Well-hydrated skin looks healthy and radiant. Extra water intake leads to the sheen and pregnancy glow. Water also keeps gum clean preventing bacterial infection.
Cocoa butter
Cocoa butter has proven to be a good remedy for the stretch marks during pregnancy. Regular application of Vitamin E and cocoa butter can not only prevent stretch marks but it also helps in keeping the skin hydrated and healthy. Cocoa butter is also effective in reducing stretch marks post pregnancy and improves and enhances the elasticity of the skin and firms up the post pregnancy stomach.
Eat healthy

Boost is a feature that automatically posts your job and application form to multiple job boards, to help you find applicants for your Opening. Boost takes away the effort and the manual work of finding job boards, posting the job, manually checking for applicants, etc. Let Fountain take care of sourcing so you can focus on hiring the workers you need!
What's Covered
How Sourcing works
Fountain works with select publishers and subsequently a network of 80+ job boards including Craigslist, Google Jobs, Ripple, Glassdoor, Upwark, Jobble, Neuvoo, LinkedIn, Indeed, Adzuna, Jobs2Careers, and many more. When you create a Boost, you can set a budget for the 2-week time period. During this timeframe, Fountain will:
- Coordinate
- Publish your job and the URL for the application form* on select job boards.
- Promote your job on jobs boards using your Boost budget.
NOTE: Boosts use a standard application form which does not include the additional questions you may have added to the custom Application Form for your Opening. Please contact Fountain Support or your Customer Success Manager for details.
Effectiveness of the Boost
- Location of job
- escriptive but concise, include explicit job requirements, and be consistent in language, information, and tone. Avoid spelling mistakes or copy errors. Reference the job address/location
- Higher budgets lead to higher bids on job boards, which convert to more views, more clicks, and more applies.
- Make your job title enticing by adding a pay rate.
- Boost success is dependent upon the volume and interest level of prospective applicants in the job's area, which can vary by season and can be based upon the factors listed above.
Available only in the US and Canada
Enterprise Sourcing is only available to Openings in the US and Canada with a physical address. Openings with remote Locations are not currently supported. To update the Location of your Opening, go to Locations and add at least a city to your Opening.
Boosting your Job Opening
- On the top left in Fountain, hover over Jobs. Click Openings.
- Click the blue Find Applicants on the top right.
This feature may need to be turned on for your account. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you do not see the "Find applicants" button.
- Click Get Started.
- Select the Opening you want to Boost. You can search for additional Openings in the search bar. Click Next Step.
- Confirm the existing job details in our system, and complete any missing job details. The salary can be a range or an exact number. If you want to change the address of the job, go back to the Location level to edit.
Marketing Your Opening
The job description is not only required in order to make a Boost, but this is also your chance to market your job to applicants. Aside from the job details, this is the only other information your applicants will see on the job board, so make sure it counts. The job description must contain more than 50 characters in order for you to proceed to the next step.
- Set a budget -- we recommend starting with $1000 for a more effective campaign. Please note the estimated applicants you'll receive is just an estimate and is not a guarantee of applicant volume.
- If you have a coupon code, click Have a coupon code? on the bottom right to fill it in.
- Click Next Step, confirm all the details on the Summary page, and your Boost is now active! The payment will be automatically added to the next month's invoice.
Managing a Boost
Enterprise Boosts last two weeks. Once your Boost is active, click on the on the top right corner of the opening you boosted. Click View Boost to see the number of applicants and time remaining in the Boost.
Keep in Mind:
- Boost is not refundable. We recommend letting a Boost expire naturally over the specified duration as your Boost is paid for up-front and will not be refunded.
- Boost Cancellation takes up to 24 hours. Once you cancel a Boost, it can take up to 24 hours to remove the job listing off job boards.
- Contact Support to cancel your Boost. If you decide to stop a Boost before its scheduled end date, contact your Customer Service Manager and they can help cancel it.
Attributing Applicants
Applicants who apply via your Boost can be identified by looking under the Boost Source field on the Info tab of their Applicant Profile -- this will display the individual job board from where the applicant came from when they applied.
Note: Application Form
Our sourcing feature does not use the application form you have created: to ensure that applicants via Boost answer your required questions, we suggest creating a data collection stage with the same questions that are on your application form. If you are using the same opening for both sourced and non-sourced applicants and don't want everyone to land in the new data collection stage, you can create a rule stage to filter applicants to different stages.

All of Ned has been hooked and one row of background hooked all around. It was fun to play for awhile so will contemplate the colors for the butterfly and flower until he goes back on my frame. Looking forward to more play time.
Sorry for the short post but figure no one will be reading my blog since everyone will be busy with Father's Day celebrations. That plus I've noticed a huge decline in bloggers...sadly.
If anyone has favorite rug hooking blogs they visit which do not appear on my side bar, PLEASE send me the link so that I can add them.
Weather wise it has been fantastic here for well over a week. No rain, low humidity, low temps and the A/C has not had to be on at all. I open the windows in the morning when the outside temperature is in the 50's and close them when the temperature outside gets to be 70. That way the inside temp stays wonderful all day.
However, this is only going to work one more evening. Starting tomorrow the heat and humidity will rise and this may be the last 24 hours this great power saver will work to my benefit.
Have a great Sunday evening. And for you worker bees I'm sorry that tomorrow is Monday for you.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Toronto designated hitter Kendrys Morales went into the Thursday game with just a .125 average and one RBI, but manager John Gibbons wasn't surprised at all that he hit a grand slam to power the Blue Jays to a 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.
"It was just a matter of time before the guy started heating up," said Gibbons, remembering a grand slam Morales hit last season while with the Kansas City Royals against his Blue Jays. "He was barreling everything. He doesn't have much to show for it, but I think he's locked in. He's had balls go to the track, and when the summer heats up, those balls are home runs. He could easily be hitting .500 right now."
Toronto (1-2) bounced back after two opening losses at Baltimore. The Rays (2-2) struggled on offense, falling behind 5-0 before scoring in the seventh inning.
Jays starter Marcus Stroman (1-0) struck out five while allowing one run on six hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings.
"I thought the pitcher was very good, a really good, solid outing," Gibbons said. "They struck some hits off him late, but (Joe) Biagini came in and shut them down (in the seventh)."
Rays starter Blake Snell (0-1) held Toronto to four hits in 6 2/3 innings, but one of them was Morales' slam. Toronto added a fifth run of Snell in the seventh on Darwin Barney's bunt single, scoring Russell Martin, who had reached base on Snell's fifth walk. Three of those walked batters wound up scoring for Toronto.
"Upset about the walks, but felt good, felt I was competing," Snell said. "Walks, I felt like that's always the thing that gets me. I have to attack and do some things mentally to stay into it."
Tampa Bay hit into four double plays and had an out at the plate. The Rays finally strung together three singles in the seventh and scored on Logan Morrison's RBI single to right field, chasing Stroman from the game.
Toronto backed into a save situation, as reliever Joe Smith gave up a walk and a double in the ninth, and Jason Grilli came in and allowed Brad Miller to score on a wild pitch.
Grilli got the final two outs on strikeouts for his first save of the season.
Each team had only two hits in the first five innings, but Toronto had much more to show for it, thanks to Morales' two-out grand slam in the third inning.
Barney, batting ninth, hit a one-out single in the third, and with two outs, Snell walked Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista to load the bases for Morales, who crushed an 0-1 pitch to left-center for a 4-0 lead.
"Things I can fix, things I'm aware of so I can get better," Snell said of his five walks, which matched a career high.
Toronto had scored only three runs total in its first two games of the season, both losses at Baltimore, before getting four runs on one swing.
Tampa Bay's Steven Souza Jr. doubled to lead off the fifth and advanced on a groundout, but Stroman threw home on a comebacker by Tim Beckham, and catcher Martin tagged out Souza. The Rays challenged the call, checking if Martin violated the collision rule, but the call was upheld.
NOTES: C Luke Maile, designated for assignment by the Rays on Sunday, was claimed by the Blue Jays on Thursday and will report to Triple-A Buffalo. ... Rays OF Colby Rasmus, on the disabled list as he recovers from hip surgery last fall, began a rehab assignment with Class-A Charlotte on Thursday. Rasmus went 0-for-3 with an RBI groundout. ... Rays RHP Brad Boxberger, on the disabled list with a right flexor strain, isn't expected back until at least May as he's dealing with an elbow injury as well and still must essentially go through an entire spring training before he joins the team, the Tampa Bay Times reported. ... Toronto's three runs in the first two games of the season matched the second-fewest in franchise history, behind only the 1985 Blue Jays, who scored two in their first two games. ... C Jesus Sucre made his Rays debut, going 0-for-3 out of the No. 9 hole in the lineup. Derek Norris played the first three games at catcher.

Today, it can be quite challenging to find a place or a person physically. But with geo location-based mobile application development, this once daunting task seem like a piece of cake. Many mobile app development companies have continued to use the mobile feature to help users determine their location since 2009 when the term geolocation was coined out.
Geolocation technology has paved the way for many new startup ideas and enterprises which could never have come into existence without this technology. Thanks to the integration of geolocation into mobile applications, new kinds of market strategies have emerged and there is a remarkable improvement in the flow of interaction with consumers.
The integration of geolocation in mobile app development has provided a platform for some apps to boost their acquisition of members. So far this functionality seems to be booming as popular mobile applications and brands like Facebook, Google Maps, and Foursquare and have embedded it within their mobile apps.
How The Geolocation App Works
You can develop a good location-based application development solution using the GPS location or Geo Tag of a smartphone. Some of the location-based applications that can be created by mobile app developers include livestock trackers, weather alert systems, and location-based advertising systems. With the geolocation-based application, you can conveniently track the movement of a person, animal, car or any other object.
Mobile app developers require services and maps when developing geolocation based mobile applications. A couple of services are used to determine outdoor geolocation. Here are some of the most common.
Nowadays all smartphones come with Global Positioning System chips. GPS picks up the timing and location transmitted by satellites from space.
For a smartphone to correctly determine the location within about sixty feet, it requires data from at four satellites.
2. Cell ID:
It isn't unusual for a GPS signal to be unavailable. On such occasions, you can make use of the information from cell towers. In major cities, mobile networks help in identifying the cell tower used by the customer and after that compares the finding with the base-stations database.
3. Assisted GPS:
Assisted GPS is far more accurate than GPS alone because it combines both GPS and Cell ID tool.
4. Wi-Fi:
Like the Cell ID, Wi-Fi detects the position of the user, but it does it more precisely. This is because it covers smaller areas. Using Wi-Fi, the location can be determined in two distinct ways. The first is known as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). RSSI has to do with the signals from the phone found within the database of WI-FI.
The second one is used in locations that are regularly visited. It is referred to as wireless fingerprints mainly because it uses profiles of certain locations found in Wi-Fi networks. Also, It can accurately identify the position of the user, within two meters. When the location is captured, it is immediately placed on a real map using services like Map Kit Framework or Google Maps geolocation. Hence, Google Maps APIs both for Android and iOS devices offers the functions of geolocation apps providing you with reliable information about your location. While Google Maps SDK for iOS basically plots the Maps, Google Places API for iOS is responsible for determining the location as well as many other advanced features.
5. Geofencing:
Geofencing helps you to know how close you are to a particular point. It uses GPS in the mobile device of the user to give accurate information. Geofencing also helps you to know whether users are inside or outside a building. Plus, it provides a personalized experience, in that it facilitates the sending of coupons to consumers. There are three types of geofencing triggers:
a) Dynamic: This trigger comes up based on the location of the user on the changing data stream.
b) Static: These occur based on the position of the user relevant to a particular spot.
c) Combined: This trigger is based on the location of the user relevant to other users.
Applications That Use GPS Information
A good number of apps utilize the geolocation solution, and they include:
1) Maps And Navigation:
Google Maps, Waze, Maps for iOS use GPS to determine or find places of interest nearest the user and provides details on the most direct routes and other navigational information.
2) Weather Forecast Apps:
Geolocation is also useful for weather applications. Most users turn on their geolocation for the purpose of weather forecasting. Some of the applications that use geolocation data include Weather Underground and Yahoo Weather.
3) Geosocial Apps:
GPS has a great social power potential. Geolocation enables app you to share your location on social networks such Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This will no doubt increase brand awareness and allow access to your friends and contacts. Geolocation also makes streaming of services like Periscope possible.
4) Health And Fitness Apps:
GPS data is also relevant for the development of health and fitness apps as it can be used to track sports activities and patterns. An application like Nike + Running use GPS to help you keep track of your runs and eventually achieve your fitness goals. This app can tell where you are, how many miles you've covered, and even put the details on a map to review later.
5) Augmented Reality Apps:
GPS is also ideal for Augmented Reality Application development. Since this app uses the device's camera, developers who engage in augmented reality application development, have integrated GPS to identify the location of the user as well as add contextual information. In the end, an augmented reality experience will be created.
6) On-Demand Services:
Many mobile applications offer geolocation-based on-demand services. With geolocation, there are now new and easy ways of offering services such as domestic chore assistance, home delivery, and taxis among others.
Several other applications utilize GPS data. They include events applications, travel applications, e-commerce applications, dating services applications, lifestyle and hobbies applications, real-time knowledge applications, time-based and memory applications and much more.
Besides helping businesses deliver benefits to their clients at the appropriate time and place, the geolocation-based solution also helps brands interact better with their customers both online and offline.
The Final Thought:
Mobile app development company that use geolocation solution to create apps often assure customers that their information is safe and secure. As more and more people continue to appreciate geolocation solution, it is obvious that this mobile feature is here to stay.
BR Softech is the right place for availing services pertaining to location-based application development.

I didn't get out early, big mistake. I didn't get out late, bigger mistake. I got out later, but still, I got out. Our kitchen floor was being fitted, Hector wasn't feeling too well, every time I looked out of the window the rain was coming sideways at the house, I was given DRINK and then I was given curry and then I put Hector to bed and then I spoke with my very special friend on the phone and then I drank tea. It was hard, but I thought back to Janathon where I still got out and ran even though I had a nasty chest infection, it was dark and very cold.

We should expand Heathrow, but not via this monopolistic, risky and expensive scheme
When a group of us decided to submit to the Airports Commission an independent idea to expand Heathrow – differing from Heathrow Airport's own proposal in that it would involve extending the existing northern runway, rather than building a new, third, one – little did I know that it would be tougher than anything I experienced as a Concorde pilot or as director of British Airways operations at Heathrow or Gatwick.
The Government went with Heathrow's third runway proposal, and parliament is expected to start the approval process this week. This is despite the fact that our plan delivers the same capacity and economic benefits but is cheaper, simpler, quieter, and quicker to build. It destroys...

Build a business with heart
Your business is an extension of you. It can only grow when it is in alignment with your personal vision and values. Most businesses fail because the owner and the business are disconnected.
Business development and coaching
Our approach to small business coaching is a little different to what you might expect. Our focus is on the people in the business, not the business itself. You see, many business owners already know that their business needs a boost but they can't get out of their own way to make the changes that are needed.
We help you take a step back to get some perspective. Then we help you make the right moves to not only boost your business but to make your life better. In the end, the business is only a vehicle you use to build the life that you want, so we help you focus on the bigger picture – your life.
What to expect from business coaching…
A better understanding of how to run your business in a way that fits with what you want from life.
A simple, personal strategy to grow your business and stop feeling overwhelmed.
A clearer path forward in life and in business.
Psst… if you work at a bigger organisation, scroll down.
Change the dynamic of your organisation
Organisations take work. They are complex beasts. Yet at their centre are people, and that's where we focus. We help people work better in their roles, feel better about what they do, find their calling, communicate clearly, and make an impact.

Josh brought in a little two-seater couch for his office today. He's making everyone jealous. Now we all want to go into his office to "ask a quick question" or something, just looking for an excuse to enjoy the couch.
Laralee was pulled over by the police twice today. That's pretty funny.
The first time, she was driving without license plates. In truth, she'd just been to the DMV to register our newest car and she had the plates on the passenger seat. She was driving home so she could install them on the car, since she didn't bring a screwdriver with her. Of course the car was legal, so after a bit of explanation the cop let her go.
The second time, she was driving the same car (with plates now!) and taking Zack to gymnastics. She was running a little behind, and there were two cars waiting at a stoplight to turn left ahead of her. She wanted to go straight, and there was a right-turn lane so she veered into it– without signaling, of course– and sped past the cars. It was dark so she didn't notice the police car right behind her. Fortunately the cop was in a charitable mood, so she let Laralee off with a warning.
I don't know how many speeding tickets I've had in my life– maybe a dozen. Laralee probably speeds more than I do, and she has one to her name. I'm pretty sure women get warnings more often than men…
It's getting to be that time of year again: tax time. That means I have to set up a Windows system, since the H&R Block software I use will only run on Windows. Oh joy.
Rather than "waste" a computer on an operating system I use once a year for taxes, I set up a virtual machine and installed Windows 7. I created a virtual disk of 25GB, thinking that would be plenty of space for the operating system and the handful of software packages I'll need to install.
Boy, was I wrong.
Holy freaking crap. This is nothing more than Windows 7, Firefox, Chrome, and TaxCut. I'm pretty sure the latter three take less than 100MB combined, meaning the Windows 7 operating system requires over 19GB of space all by itself. What in the world…?
I guess I'm just spoiled by my Linux systems. The OS itself takes 40MB (I just checked my system) and even a fully-loaded system with all of the software I use in my daily work is less than 5GB.
Maybe I should go back to Windows XP for this; apparently TaxCut runs there too. Ugh.
I'm downloading Adobe Acrobat Reader (yeah, I know) and I was amused to see they provide download estimates…
… for people using 56k modems. Wow, thanks Adobe, for telling me what I might expect if I was using technology from 1994!
Also, who on earth has a T1 line any more? Back in the day they were the bomb because they offered 1.5Mbps symmetric speeds (they also cost about $1,000 a month), but these days my phone can move data faster than that.
For some reason I find macro photography to be fascinating. There are so many everyday things that take on new life when examined up close.
For example, my stack of Galaxy, Nexus, and HTC phone:
Or my alarm clock:
How about the inflatable exercise disc used to develop better balance:
Finally, pieces of a puzzle I'm building:
Tonight Zack learned that dish soap is not the same as dishwasher detergent. His chore was doing the dishes this evening, and the box of (granular) dishwasher detergent was empty. Looking under the sink, he spotted a big jug of soap and poured some (liquid) into the dishwasher. Away he went.
A little while later, I was beating Kyra at Mario Kart and Zack said, "Uhh, Dad, you might want to come look at this." Suds were gushing out of the dishwasher, spreading all over the kitchen floor. Quite a sight. He explained what he'd done, which was really just an honest mistake because sometimes we have liquid dishwasher detergent.
Cleaning it up proved to be interesting. The dishwasher refused to drain, and since it was in the middle of a wash cycle all we could do was cancel and run a rinse. Well, that made things worse. It's pretty amazing how many bubbles a quarter-cup of concentrated dish soap will make. Finally, I pulled out the shop vac and literally sucked up all the bubbles. A rinse cycle later, things seemed almost back to normal. The dishes still had a coating of bubbles, which probably means we're going to taste soap in our food for the next few days.
Zack worked hard to help me clean it up, asking several times, "Am I in trouble?" I assured him he wasn't, but hopefully he learned a lesson. Funny stuff.
Yesterday, while making dinner, La and I were talking about college. Of course we want– and expect– all of our kids to attend college and get a degree. We have several adult friends who didn't do that, and now due to various circumstances in their lives, they find themselves looking for a new job and having a hard time of it. Without a college education, it seems like most people end up stuck at a certain type of job with a certain salary ceiling.
We both agreed that there are definitely exceptions to the rule. Some who attend college end up in dead-end jobs anyway; some who don't attend manage to have successful and lucrative careers despite a degree on their wall. But we both feel like college is a key element of success, at least in the working world. Coupled tightly with that is a drive, an ambition to do something more than work at Taco Bell or whatever.
Coincidentally, while reading my nightly news feeds, I stumbled across an article where someone had posted a question about whether or not he should attend college. He's 19 and has been working on web and computer stuff for a few years, making a decent wage. He's been attending a local community college to pick up a few credits here and there, but feels that it's kind of a waste of time and money. So he asked the group (the Hacker News community) what they thought. Keep in mind that the audience is almost entirely made up of self-professed computer geeks (like me, hah) so there's definitely a bias in the answers.
I thought the first response was perhaps the most insightful:
Take science to discover something you're good at.
Take humanities to discover something you may love.
Take at least one art or music class.
Take at least one advanced math class.
Join a fraternity.
Learn how to play bridge (and play all night sometime).
Learn how to play foosball.
Get drunk.
Learn how to play foosball while drunk.
Play an intramural team sport.
Get a part time job.
Eat something you never tried before.
Get high.
Do original research.
Take a class you think you'll hate pass/fail.
Do 5 minutes at a comedy club on open mike night.
Hang out with a professor you like.
Get laid.
Do a web start-up on the side.
Make a few friends for life.
Go to at least one party each week.
Pick a major you love whether it makes career sense or not.
Get someone who has written one of your text books to sign it.
Blog about your college experience.
Enter a college talent show.
Meet as many interesting (and boring) people as you can.
Read good books.
Go without shoes for a week just for the hell of it.
If you don't go to college, exactly when do you expect to do all of this?
Although I don't necessarily condone everything in that list, I did most of it in my college days. I think the reason I liked the comment so much is because it encapsulates exactly what I think college provides: a life experience. It's so much more than books and classes and studying. It's four or five years when you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience things you've never done before (and may never do again) while figuring out not only what you want to do for a career, but who you're going to be for the rest of your life. For me, five years at UMR was absolutely life-changing. I saw new things, met new people, and in the end became a different person. I have lifelong friends from those few years. I keep in touch with a couple of professors and advisors. I cherish the things I learned and the experiences I had. For me, college was an amazing experience: one I'll never forget or regret.
Yeah, maybe I'm thinking back on those "glory days" with a little more nostalgia than they deserve. But I really hope all of my kids elect to go to college and have those kinds of experiences for themselves.
One of my 2013 resolutions is not to work on Saturdays. For the last decade I've generally worked every Saturday and most evenings (late into the night). I've decided it's time to stop that, and trust that my business will soldier on even if I'm not putting in 50 hours a week year after year.
Today is the first Saturday of the year, of course, so I put the resolution to the test. I went down to my office because I had to do a few things on the computer this morning (not related to Zing). While there, I opened one of my desk drawers and noticed the hundred hanging file folders with old client files. There were actually two drawers with files like these; the newest ones date back to 2006. I thought it would be good to clean them out. So I went through each folder, looking for anything that might be worth saving for some kind of later purpose. I ran a few things through my scanner: receipts for big-ticket items, some tax and legal stuff, and a few other things that might come in handy one day. When finished, I tossed everything into the recycling bin. I brushed my hands, heaved a happy sigh, and felt good that my desk drawers were now empty.
I also cleaned out my inbox– a physical inbox on the desk, not a digital inbox for e-mail. In it I found an old letter from Zack to Santa. I think he wrote it several years ago; I'm not sure how it ended up in my inbox and sat there for years. But anyway, I got a chuckle out of it and thought I'd scan it for posterity. Here it is:
Handwriting aside, it clearly shows a well-thought-out logic. Introduce the topic, list the things you want, mention how good you've been, and finish with a little bit of flattery. Nice!
Ahh, 'tis the season to start on taxes. Since payday is today, I'm researching the changes in IRS rules regarding withholdings and tax rates. Congress still doesn't have its act together, so some of the numbers haven't even been decided yet. Thanks, guys.
In my research I came across a site that explains how to calculate employee withholdings, and I had to laugh at this part of the page:
Yeah, right. Taxes are so easy! I remember the days when I was sixteen working at a grocery store and could fill out a 1040EZ form. Since then, things have only become more complicated…
Obscure unless you used a computer in 1990.
We were the Magnificent Seven. Me, Dirk, Aron, Morgan, Bech, Mat, and Derek. Best of friends in high school, we spent every weekend together and kept in touch after we went our separate ways to college, then careers and families. This year, for the first time since the early 1990's, all seven of us were back in the St. Charles area. Well, technically all six of them were, and when I heard about it I decided to buy a plane ticket just to fly back for a few days and see everyone again.
We hooked up for some pizza and then went to Derek's house for long hours of talking, laughing, playing poker, and reminiscing about the old times. The jokes and stories were all still funny, even if they were 20+ years old.
Derek is taking the picture, which is why he isn't shown. Also, Bech's iPhone camera is a piece of junk.
Yeah, it's hard to find friends like these. Thanks, guys, and hopefully we won't wait twenty years to do it again.

Lana Del Rey will contribute two new tracks to an upcoming Tim Burton movie.
The film, entitled Big Eyes, will tell the story of American artist Margaret Keane, whose paintings (characterised by their illustrations of large eyeballs) were falsely credited to her husband.
As The Hollywood Reporter note, Del Rey has recorded the title-track 'Big Eyes', plus another new number called 'I Can Fly'.
"Lana's song expresses what Margaret is feeling so perfectly, it's like a soliloquy of her inner thoughts," the film's producer Larry Karaszewski said of 'Big Eyes'.
The film will be released at Christmas.
Meanwhile, Lana Del Rey was recently insulted by Eminem in one of his tracks, with the rapper threatening to "punch Lana Del Rey twice in the face". Azealia Banks offered some advice to the singer following the incident, writing on Twitter: "Tell him to go back to his trailer park and eat his microwave hotpocket dinner and suck on his sisters tiddies."
Lana Del Rey released her second album 'Ultraviolence' in June. Read the NME review.

Weights and Quantities of Daffodils & Narcissus
The weights shown are true at the date of weighing. Daffodil and narcissus bulbs do however gradually lose weight as they dry out. The lost moisture is replaced once the bulbs are planted.
How many bulbs are there in the sacks and bags? The first thing to note is that we sell the larger sizes of bulbs, described as 14/16's (i.e. over 14cms. in diameter). The reason for this is that each bulb will probably produce two, even three flowers, and being larger will grow on more strongly wherever they are planted. A 2kg bag of daffodils holds around 25 bulbs, whilst a 25kg (1/2 Cwt) sack holds just over 300 bulbs. Narcissus are usually a little smaller, and one can expect 30 to 35 bulbs per 2kg, or 400 per sack. Cheerfulness and Actaea are smaller still, so one will have as many as 45 in a 2kg bag, 550 in a sack.
Quality of bulbs
After many years of trading we know our suppliers in Holland and England, and can trust them to deliver us only stock that we are proud to sell. Nonetheless we still choose the old-fashioned method of hand counting our bulbs into bags to give us the opportunity to inspect each one before it leaves our premises. The exceptions to this are the daffodils and narcissus, although they too are inspected as we weigh them out.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been a deregulated sector in Pakistan for almost a decade.
The primary objective of this price deregulation by the government was to bring more
investment in the oil and gas sector of Pakistan. Local production in the country is less than the
demand of this product. According to a rough past estimate, local production of LPG in the
country is 1600 metric ton and its demand is around 3000 metric ton per day. Different LPG
companies that were licensed by Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) had to manage the
product demand of the market mostly through de‐marketing activity and import of LPG (in few
cases through illegal channels from Iran). This massive gap in the supply and demand of the
product also created black marketing and import of product without paying taxes on the import
and without the prior permission of OGRA. Price trend in the market over the years is that this
product's price increases in winter due to extra demand and decreases in summer due to
decrease in the demand. LPG initially was thought to be a pro‐poor fuel but it was not the actual
case in the market because its prices remained out of the reach for a poor person during winter
Real time scenario
In a routine price cartel situation just before the winter season, managers of the different LPG
licensed companies were sitting together in a meeting for deciding a mutually agreed price with
extra and unchecked profit during the upcoming winter season. Most of the managers were
keen to have a constant increase in the price during winter with their mutual consensus but one
of the managers, Mr. Ali suggested that this constant increase in the fuel price will increase the
suffering of common and poor people. All the other stake holders heavily criticized Mr. Ali as he
was suggesting a cut on the profit for the interest of society. Some of the senior managers in
that meeting told Mr. Ali that he had no right to think for these ethical considerations in
business as he is representing his company as an employee and that there is no such law to
regulate the price of the product. Mr. Ali's point of view was that he was also representing the
same interest of his company for increasing the profit but he said that he is also seriously
concerned about the low purchasing power of this fuel of the common person and that he will
remain firm on this argument. This initiated a new dimension of brainstorming for social
responsibility and ethical consideration in that business meeting. Now on one side there was
short term strategy to earn high profit and on the other side, there was a long term strategy of
business growth with ethical consideration.
Considering the above mentioned scenario, answer the following questions based on the knowledge that you have acquired from this course so far.
1: In your point of view, what may be the possible reason of prisoner's dilemma in this situation? How will the ethical consideration help this business sector as a long term growth strategy? (10 Marks)
The Prisoner's Dilemma is a classic example of games theory, an area of mathematics whose foundations were laid down by John Nash.
The Prisoner's Dilemma shows that, in certain circumstances, if the members of a group trust each other, they can choose a course of action that will bring them the best possible outcome for the group as a whole. But without trust each individual will aim for his or her best personal outcome – which can lead to the worst possible outcome for all.
In the Prisoner's Dilemma two players act as prisoners who have been jointly charged of a crime (which they did commit) but questioned separately. The police only have enough evidence to be sure of a conviction for a minor offence, but not enough for the more serious crime.
The prisoners made a pact that if they were caught they would not confess or turn witness on each other. If both prisoners hold true to their word they will only be convicted of the lesser offence. But the dilemma occurs when the police offer each prisoner a reduced prison term if they confess to the serious offence and give evidence against the other prisoner.
Companies with a strong ethical identity tend to maintain a higher degree of stakeholder satisfaction, positively influencing the financial results of the company, according to the Ethical Investment Research Service. Conversely, lack of personal and professional ethics can lead to negative financial results, as recently evidenced by the collapse of Wall Street firms. Risky loans and questionable business practices put many banking and insurance firms in a precarious position. Ensuring ethical behavior at your company can help improve your company's economic performance.
Avoiding Unnecessary Risks
In our capitalist society, the economy emphasizes private ownership in a privately controlled economy. Companies exist primarily to make money for their owners and shareholders. Generating a profit is the main goal. Short-term profit tends to be more important than long-term success. Without confidence in management, stakeholders tend to limit investments, negatively affecting growth. According to EIRIS, studies show that ethics-related news influences a company's share price for better or worse, revealing effects of between 0.5% and 3% of share price.
Validating Return on Investment
Whether a company has outside investors, relies on venture-capital funding or reinvests its own profits, keeping accurate records is essential to long-term success. Announcing large returns that are the result of fraudulent accounting can lead to issues that ultimately hurt a company's performance. Ethical business practices can help companies avoid legal problems and negative financial results that arise once the unethical behavior is discovered. These practices can also help companies provide a consistent return on investment as they continue focusing on operating effectively and efficiently without the distractions of bad press and negative public perception, hurting business.
Earning from Green Environmental Practices
As people become more aware of companies' impact on the environment, they want to do business with companies that reflect their values. For example, if your production processes cause water pollution, you may be able to conduct business in a cost-effective manner for the short term, but public opinion and pressure to improve your impact on the environment may actually reduce your sales profit in the long run. Avoid these situations by acting responsibly in the first place.
Improving Employee Morale
Employees prefer to work at companies where they will be treated with dignity, respect and fairness. When companies establish a high standard for ethical business conduct, employees know that they will be treated well. In return, they treat customers the same way. Companies with high levels of customer satisfaction tend to generate a higher degree of customer loyalty, repeat business and more market share in the long run. Customers may decline to deal with a business that causes them to be suspicious and afraid. Businesses that contribute to their community, maintain good relationships with government authorities and other businesses tend to be more successful in the long run. These companies will not get distracted by unnecessary lawsuits and other activities that detract from producing quality products and services that enable positive financial results for the company.
2: How can Mr. Ali create the spirit of moral reasoning in this interest group? Discuss with logical points. (10 Marks)
Moral reasoning is individual or collective practical reasoning about what, morally, one ought to do. Philosophical examination of moral reasoning faces both distinctive puzzles — about how we recognize moral considerations and cope with conflicts among them and about how they move us to act — and distinctive opportunities for gleaning insight about what we ought to do from how we reason about what we ought to do.
Moral reasoning is the process of determining right or wrong in a given situation. According to the American psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg, people develop through three levels of moral reasoning as needed by situations they encounter. The lowest level of development involves making decisions of morality based on the prospect of punishment – in other words, by trying to avoid getting punished. At the second level a person perceives an absolute right and wrong and believes the law is the judge of morality. A person has reached the highest level when they make moral choices based on social contracts, or unspoken agreements to behave a certain way, and when they can generalize ethical principals beyond their own interests. This is a more abstract type of reasoning and not one based on simple ideas such as trying to avoid punishment.

Disposable culture contributes to a lot of global waste and when it comes to throwaway consumerism the fast fashion industry is top of the pile. This video from Grist reveals why we need to ditch our love for fast fashion.
Narrator Eve Andrews explains that American consumers buy 20 billion new items of clothing each year, while sending 10 million tons of unwanted clothes to the landfill. Andrews says that:
"That shirt didn't cost you very much at all, but it cost the planet quite a bit – to the tune of 1,320 gallons of water and approximately 9 lbs of carbon dioxide in its production and transportation alone.
"That's to say nothing of the terrible working conditions that the people who make most of our clothes endure, earning next to nothing in extremely unsafe factories [and] perpetuating a cycle of poverty in some of the most vulnerable parts of the world,"
"That's a lot of resources for one sh*tty shirt."
Andrews's No. 1 way for lowering one's environmental impact is very simple and one that we've known for years: buying less. "It's not doing something and it's not spending money," Andrews says. "And you'll look fabulous doing it."

Hello forum family, I wanna share with ya all my most recent fatigue: Marthragul!
I was in doubt if painting it into a realistical Earth dragon, or something more colourful... The Magenta won! :D
And I chose to don't cut corners, so no drybrush, no washes, no feathering... just dear, old layering, shading and glazing
...cause I'm a fast painter, as you know
And, yeah! This took me almost a month of at least two hours per day... basically I hate this dragon now
Enough talking, time for pics :D
I really hope you like it, if you have any question do not hesitate :)
As always every C&C is more than welcome.
Thank you :)

I painted this guy up, despite having eyes on Gale Force 9's Behir for my personal use. Decided to go ahead and liquidate it in a certain auction site, but so far, no takers. Ah, well. It's still a nice looking mini, so it doesn't hurt to have one around until I manage to finish painting the GF9 Behir... Comments, recommendations, and suggestions are appreciated.

It occurred so unexpectedly within the blink of an eye fixed I spotted that my very own disdain for traditional community and MULTILEVEL MARKETING marketing was actually who I represented. Regardless of how completely different this particular person may be to you, you would possibly each enjoy coming to networking events and assembly new people, you would possibly each be entrepreneurs, you might even be both human. It has been centered lately on integrating a various set of administration and visibility tools into a coherent suite, and on broadening those capabilities into something greater than a set of ancillary community instruments.
The general public who made the best influence in my networking journey have come from my persistence to fight off the prejudgement and maintain an open mind. By using this website, you conform to the Phrases of Use and Privateness Coverage Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
Drawback solving – In addition to the potential of accelerating your business you'll be able to typically discover solutions to your individual enterprise problems or needs by networking. Avaya Networking is robust and may stand on its own, however ongoing monetary struggles have hurt the Avaya brand and led to talk of it being sold.
The aim of enterprise networking is to increase business revenue – one way or another. It is because business networking is a low-cost activity that entails more personal dedication than company cash. Sitting on committees helps you get to know members better.
four. Add a separate enterprise cellphone line for your community advertising and marketing business. Take a moment and take into consideration the person who walks into a networking occasion, simply hands out business cards and waits for the motion to start out. Map out a weekly schedule that outlines specific days and occasions you will spend creating your social media strategy.
