The Vivaro van used in this project has covered more than 100,000 miles since it first hit the road.
The humble panel van has been an invaluable asset for budding musicians across the UK for decades. And last year Vauxhall started the Vivaro on Tour initiative in order to provide emerging bands with access to a modern van free of charge to help them travel between gigs.
Almost 12 months after this scheme got under way, the manufacturer has confirmed that it has helped to save the groups which benefited from the use of a Vivaro an estimated £30,000 which they would otherwise have been forced to spend on van hire, according to Drowned in Sound.
The costs of actually getting to venues can be prohibitive, especially when bands are in the early stages of their development and they cannot guarantee that their fee from the venue will be enough to cover the expense of travel, let alone allowing them to earn any cash on top. So by giving free use of a Vivaro van to a number of smaller touring acts, Vauxhall has been able to ease the burden and help groups get off the ground.
Operated in conjunction with Independent Venue Week, the Vivaro on Tour project also placed an emphasis on the fact that these vans are also built in the UK, helping to establish similarities between this industry and the home-grown music scene which is still so important to the culture of the country as a whole.
The Vivaro van used in this project has covered more than 100,000 miles since it first hit the road, decked out with decals celebrating the live music experience. And it was not just ferrying band members to and from gigs but also coping with large amounts of heavy equipment required to facilitate a typical performance.
After a year on the road, Vauxhall confirmed that the Vivaro had received a complete service so that it is ready to hit the tarmac all over again in 2017. Furthermore, it has added another Vivaro to the project, meaning that even more bands should be able to benefit from this intriguing opportunity.
As well as drumming up some positive publicity, this initiative is also likely to create a number of loyal Vauxhall customers amongst those bands which benefit from it. Bands are able to apply to use one of these vans this year, and if it continues to be a success, then it may be rolled out even further in the future.
The current Vivaro range includes standard panel vans as well as crew cab models with many cutting-edge features available on board. Even the base models come with Bluetooth connectivity and a USB port to help with synching media and charging while on the road, which is useful not only for musicians but also for commercial operators of all kinds.
While small bands may traditionally have toured in old vans, the wealth of quality used vans on the market at affordable prices means that even those who do not make use of the Vivaro on Tour scheme still have the opportunity to make their musical dreams come true without breaking the bank.

Notepad is one of the most known and used text writing and the basic editing software, which is known worldwide among all the windows operating system users. If you are also using or have ever used windows computers, then I am very sure that you must have also used this notepad software.
The question arises as to whether there is any scope of notepad to be introduced for the Mac operating system users as well? Well, there are some factors which need to be considered before you could get the answer in this regard.
Remember Notepad is the official and the integral software which had been the part of Windows operating system right from the first official version of the windows.
Further, there may be certain guesses that there might have been signed some contract between the Microsoft incorporation and the developers of the Notepad, as per which Notepad would not be provided to any other operating system other than the Microsoft itself.
So¸ that could be one of the most legit legal reason that why Notepad is not available for the Mac and might not also be as well in the future. Further, even if we disregard this contractual factor there is one other reason with the developers and, that is the free and open source availability of the Notepad.
Notepad is free and open source software and hence there is no such enough motivation for the developers of the Notepad that they could make it available for the Mac users as well.
In this situation, it becomes the matter of sole discretion of Apple incorporation, that whether they ask the Notepad developers to launch any version of Notepad for the Mac as well.
Keep in mind that there several other text writing software which is available as a substitute of the Notepad, so you should surely try those software and see if they could do the same job as the Notepad does.

News and Blog
- Rosebud had a bull calf. It was a week early according to the gestation calendar.
- I was able to get two yogurt makers this past week, so now is a great time to learn how to make your own yogurt. I had some with blueberries and it is so good.
- We went to the Missouri State Fair today. There were a lot of people and the weather was perfect. Sure is a change from a week ago with the hot temperatures.
- We had a ham cured by Gilbert's, and I smoked it for about four hours. It is great to have good food. Food at the fair is, well, just fair. I'm sure it all comes out the back of a food service truck. If you want a "Dirt" hog, email me and I will put you on the list. I got a call this past week from Gilberts wanting to know if I was intested in a hog. Someone had had one processed and wanted to sell it. I asked a few questions and very soon decided that this hog would not meet my standards. It was a show pig and I have seen those genetics. They yield the same as what you would get in a grocery store (too dry and tasteless). I politely declined.
- Remember, if you want a Thanksgiving turkey let me know.

Just for fun and for your enlightenment. Milk is in the news.
New evidence emerged today that proves the USDA knew that ground turkey produced by Cargill was widely contaminated with salmonella, but it remained silent and waited for someone to die before taking action and forcing a recall. This is an incredible betrayal of food safety (and an inexcusable double standard in light of recent raw milk raids.)
What we're witnessing here is evidence that the USDA wanted to see a food safety fatality because in the aftermath of such an event, it can beat the drum for more food safety funding and authority (just like the FDA). Read the details on this breaking story, which was originally covered by the Wall Street Journal:
that's it from the hill. Art and Debra
- Anyone wanting a "Dirt" hog needs to let me know soon. They will be ready in four weeks and then there will not be any for several months.
- If you want a turkey, now is the time to get on our list. We only have 60 to sell.
- Anyone wanting a yogurt maker, let me know. I have a couple and it is a great way to add value to your milk. It is so easy. I made some cheese this past week and a batch of butter. It's nice to see the golden color in butter made from cows on grass.
- Anyone wanting a SCOBY, just bring a gallon jar. Kombucha at the store is expensive.
- We've added several new milk customers. I was surprised that our cows did not drop in production during the hot weather and short grass. Cows are amazing.
If you missed these links that I added to our website, I am including them in the update so you can forward them to a friend.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/18/why-do-exvegetarians-outnumber-current-vegetarians-three-to-one.aspx (This link was the number 1 most shared link on the Mercola site)
Read this link and learn about your MILK. I wish I had enough for everyone. I don't, but the more educated you become hopefully you will demand better food. Do your own research.
A better option is grass-fed RAW milk, which is nearly always better than organic milk, if it is purchased from a reliable farmer. In that case, it may not be certified organic, but it will essentially be organic anyway, and drinking your milk raw is the superior choice. Milk from grass-fed cows, unlike grain-fed cows, will be high in CLA that is loaded with many health benefits including helping you lose weight. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/26/who-knew-this-cocktail-of-up-to-20-chemicals-was-in-your-glass-of-milk.aspx
If you read the previous link, you will read this: "Pasteurization also destroys part of the vitamin C in raw milk, encourages the growth of harmful bacteria, and turns milk's naturally occurring sugar (lactose) into beta-lactose. Beta-lactose is rapidly absorbed in the human body, with the result that hunger can return quickly after a glass of milk -- especially in children. The pasteurization process also makes insoluble most of the calcium found in raw milk. This can lead to a host of health problems in children, among them rickets and bad teeth. And then there's the destruction of about 20 percent of the iodine available in raw milk, which can cause constipation."
that's it from the hill. Art and Debra
- We had our chicken day today and it went well. We had a reduced number due to a fox, a dog and the heat. Hopefully, we will do better on the next batch. It will be about seven weeks to the next time. We have decided that next year we will concentrate on late Spring and early Summer and Fall. July and August will be vacation time for chickens.
- Two more "Dirt" hogs are being delivered this week.
- The first two beeves were delivered this week and it went well. The next two may be delayed due to the extreme hot weather. It is too hot and they are not gaining like they usually do. I'll have to make a decision next week.
- I will be baling the second cutting of alfalfa tomorrow. It is amazing how well alfalfa does in hot weather. Too bad this administration (USDA) has okay'd that this plant can be genetically modified. What a shame. Monsanto wins, we lose.
A More Humane and Healthier Option
Grass-based feeding is a very efficient and ecologically sustainable method of farming. Instead of producing tons of grain for feed -- which requires extensive land, fertilizer, pest management, and large equipment for cultivating, harvesting, drying, storage and feeding -- pasture-based farming lets the cows do the work. They harvest, fertilize, and feed themselves, overseen by the farmer in a carefully managed system. The net result is significantly less fuel consumption, less erosion, less air and water pollution and greater soil fertility. The animals also get to live a natural life outdoors, grazing off the land as they were intended to.
Most importantly, this natural and harmonious way of raising animals also leads to a superior food product. Grass-fed beef, for instance, is lower in fat than regular CAFO-raised beef. It also contains three to five times more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid. The milk from grass-fed cows is also higher in many nutrients, including CLA, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fats.
For health benefits of CLA, read the entire posting by Dr Mercola. There are some interesting statistics regarding vegetarianism. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/18/why-do-exvegetarians-outnumber-current-vegetarians-three-to-one.aspx
Here is a great recap of HFCS and saturated fats. And this important fact:
"This is a VERY important point so let me repeat it. Most will need to read this seven times or more to fully realize the implications of this simple yet HIGHLY profound, and radically revolutionary important statement:
Fructose is "isocaloric but not isometabolic."
"This means you can have the same amount of calories from fructose or glucose, fructose and protein, or fructose and fat, but the metabolic effect will be entirely different despite the identical calorie count."Here is the link. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/26/what-caused-america-to-go-from-fit-to-fat.aspx

- Our next chicken day will be next Sunday. If you don't get an email, then hopefully you will get your chickens next time.
- Still taking orders for Thanksgiving turkeys.
- Three lucky people are getting their "dirt" hog this next week.
- I will be delivering beef tomorrow. Blue Springs, Independence, Liberty, Stilwell and Lee's Summit. The forecast is for somewhat cooler temperatures.
- I will have two more "dirt" hogs in about two weeks. If you want one, let me know.
- We have plenty of Milk. We could add some more customers, or existing customers may want to learn how to make yogurt, kefir and cheese.

First Time Documentary Filmmaker Fights
for Small Farmers
Washington, D.C. --June 10, 2011--If the FDA wasn't defensive before about their raids against multiple small farms around the country, they soon will be when Kristin Canty's documentary film Farmageddon--the Unseen War on American Family Farms debuts this month in three major cities--DC, LA, NYC.
The epicenter of bureaucratic and regulatory power, Washington, DC, is the first stop for the film. It opens here on June 17 for a weeklong World Premiere at the West End Cinema on 23rd Street, NW (between M and N streets). The filmmaker will be in town for the multiple events being coordinated around the film by groups such as Slow Food DC, Keep Food Legal, Grassfed on the Hill, and the Weston A. Price Foundation.
New documentary that includes the Raw Milk aspect. What better place to screen the release of this film than in Washington, DC. Maybe a lone staffer will go. I'm sure "our" senators and representatives are far too busy.

- This is a quickie. I have found a couple of "dirt" hogs that are ready for someone. I have one sold. If someone wants the other let me know ASAP.
- We can add two more milk customers. We have an abundance, and since every week someone goes on a summer vacation there is chance for you to get some A2 milk. Remember, milk is a food and it is in season with cows on grass. Be sure to read the Mercola links and you will understand the value of raw, grass fed milk cows.

- We had our chicken day today and it went well. We started early to avoid the extreme heat. We finished and had the pick up at 1 pm. The next chicken day will be two weeks from today. I will be sending an email to those next on the list. We will wait to set the pick up time when we know better what the weather will be.
- This coming Wednesday I will be delivering five hogs to the processor. If you have ordered a "dirt" hog, your wait is about over. I will send an email on Thursday with the weights and directions on contacting the processor.
- I baled over a thousand bales of straw this past week. We have it advertised on Craigs List and Iland. It is $2.50 picked up in the field. It was $5-6 per bale last year if you could find it. If you want some for next year, now is the time to get it.
- We are still taking orders for turkeys for Thanksgiving. Don't wait too long. We only have 60 to sell.

Hi Tina,
Just a note. Art's turkeys are out of this world good! Last year I bought a 33 pounder and had 15 guests. We all ate ourselves silly! The meat was sweet, fresh, tender, juicy!

Dear NaturalNews readers,
You may have already noticed, but NaturalNews is now publishing over 14 stories a day, with 2-3 hard-hitting feature stories each weekday. We now have a team of researchers, investigators, writers and reporters working around the clock to bring you breaking news and analysis that you just won't get anywhere else.
Plus, we've opened up a reader tips system where you can send us anonymous tips that we will review for possible investigations. Submit your tips at:
Today we bring you an investigative story on the dangers of artificial food colors and why so many of these chemicals have already been outlawed. Check it out:
And rememeber all the faked blueberries we revealed in cereals and breads? Now a law firm has opened an investigation into the misleading marketing of these "fake blueberry" products, and you have a chance to take part in what might potentially become a class action lawsuit against several large food companies:
In another fascinating (but horrifying) bit of food-related news, research now shows that 93% of unborn babies are already contaminated with GMOs. From the day they're born, in other words, they're already victims of genetically modified foods!
that's it from the hill. Art and Debra
- We have added some new milk customers this past week. We have enough for one maybe two more. If you are interested, I need to know how much you will want each week and a phone number.
- I have two yogurt makers for sale. They are $24 each. Making your own yogurt is a great way to make your own probiotics. If you only have store milk it will increase its value.
- We have three more "dirt" hogs available in about three weeks. Let me know. I took three this week to the processor. Those who order these will soon be enjoying what real pork should taste like.
- It's time to start planning for Thanksgiving. If you want a turkey you need to get on the list. We only have sixty and when they are gone, they are gone. They are $3/# this year. We are holding the price, even though the poults cost $2 more. We have a better shelter arrangement and should be able to keep predators out.
- Our web site has been updated. A couple of errors have been identified and fixed. Visit our site and see the changes, and if you see something that is confusing or missing, let me know.

Top Ten Reasons to Eat Grassfed
As promised, continuing from our last newsletter, here is a more in depth explanation of number four of the top ten health reasons to eat grassfed beef.
According to a 2009 study that was a joint effort between the USDA and researchers at Clemson University in South Carolina, grassfed beef is better for human health than grainfed beef in these top ten* ways:
- Lower in total fat
- Higher in beta-carotene

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Corporations spend millions of dollars on performance improvement, employee training and development, work system redesign, and other organizational improvement efforts. Much of this money is wasted because the preliminary analysis and diagnosis has not been done to link these programs to an organization's real business needs, goals, and processes.
The truth is that in order for any performance improvement effort to add value to the organization, deep analysis is required. Analysis for Improving Performance details a systematic approach for doing the rigorous preparatory analysis that is vital to shaping and developing successful performance improvement efforts.
Richard A. Swanson's methods enable program developers and managers to define clear objectives, assess existing systems and missions, analyze worker knowledge and expertise, define desired performance and evaluation standards, and develop a performance improvement plan that will meet the desired performance goals.
This new edition has been extensively revised throughout and presents expanded concepts and updated cases, as well as a new chapter on documenting and improving work processes and documenting process-referenced tasks. Written for take-charge managers, performance improvement specialists, and workers wanting to improve their organizations, Analysis for Improving Performance provides "real-world" knowledge, tools, examples, graphics, and exercises aimed at developing your expertise in diagnosing organizational performance and documenting workplace expertise—the keys to long-term organizational success. In short, it is a complete guide to ensuring that the time, money, and effort you invest in organizational development are well spent.

Cardinals Pitcher Ian Snell Retires at Age 29
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- Ian Snell has decided to retire at age 29 after the St. Louis Cardinals optioned him to the minors.
The right-hander signed a minor league deal in January aftergoing 0-5 with 6.41 ERA in 12 games, eight of them starts, for the Seattle Mariners last season. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said Snell decided to quit before Tuesday's spring game against the Atlanta Braves.
Snell pitched in one game, working two innings and allowing two runs on March 3. Since then he appeared in two "B" games, the last on Monday when he gave up two runs in an inning against Atlanta.
Snell is 38-53 with a 4.80 ERA in seven full seasons. He had acareer-high 14 victories in 2006 and nine wins with a 3.76 ERA in 2007, and was the Pirates' opening-day starter in 2009.

Its no longer just 'Junk Food' affecting our work- enter 'Junk Sleep'. For a long time now those of us in work have been advised to be healthy and eat well. It is recommended we do regular exercise and avoid junk food, some of which we do and some we're just too busy for!
However, there is now another form of 'junk' to add to the ever growing list; Junk Sleep. According to the manufacturers of nocturnal cramp treatment, Crampex, those of us not getting enough sleep are costing the economy millions of pounds a year.
One fifth of us regularly get less then five hours sleep a night resulting in time off work due to exhaustion. With only five hours sleep considered bad sleep, or 'junk sleep' it is obviously important for us all to concentrate on getting more healthy sleep. Does that mean we get to go home early tonight?

It is so hard to understand all of these things and so much more.

I am so happy you are talking to your little ones now. This could be one of those life changing moments for her...ReplyDelete

When safety is second nature for electrical contractors, they are stronger and better construction team members. However, making safety a core company value takes more than good management; it takes leaders. If your crew members feel you have their backs, they will reciprocate with a commitment to safety.
In day-to-day work, the job-site foreman or first-line supervisor often is the face of a company's safety values. Part coach, part enforcer, a foreman keeps his or her crew safe.
Steven J. Geigle is the founder and director of OSHAcademy Safety Training, a division of Geigle Safety Group based in Beaverton, Ore. One of his most popular courses (712: Safety Supervision and Leadership) helps supervisors understand the practice of safety leadership.
"At a work site, if you can't work safely, you don't do the work," Geigle said. "If you have to take shortcuts that threaten your crew's safety, it's not a job for your company."
Model supervision
If the safety culture is lacking, a crew will view safety as mere words. Crews look to their supervisors to set the tone. When a safety culture is ingrained, safety practices are reflexive.
"[Crew members] want to do a good job for someone who wants to support them," Geigle said. "A safe work site is only as good as its leader. You need to be visible on-site. When conducting safety inspections, send an important message of trust, but verify."
For example, if you warn a worker that their harness is too loose, show them the safe way to wear it right then.
"Educate on the spot," Geigle said. "It communicates 'I don't want you to get hurt.' You are correcting, but not in an authoritative or controlling 'my way or the highway' [style], which won't get you the high level of performance you are seeking. If you see good safety awareness, congratulate right then and there. You need to build positive relationships with the crew."
A certain carelessness can settle in with repetitive tasks or job-site deadline pressure. Workers may not consistently wear gloves or goggles, or they may misuse tools, causing installation issues or ergonomic stresses. A supervisor cannot let a laissez-faire attitude envelop a work site; it is not just improper; it also creates false confidence, Geigle said.
"Shortcuts are a never-ending problem," said Cesar Ortiz, safety director for Houston-based Melton Electric Inc. "That's why it is important to be visible as a supervisor; be on-site. Don't allow people to cut corners. Keep them honest, and be consistent."
Electric shock is one of the top injury incidents cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
"As a supervisor, you are enforcing safety rules," Geigle said. "Establish what I call a 'tough-caring' leadership model, which means maintaining high standards and expectations, and an insistence on working safely because you care about the health and welfare of your employees and all the trades."
Ortiz said injuries have an effect beyond the work site.
"You have people waiting for you at home," he said. "Reminding workers of this impact makes safety especially personal. We go in wanting zero injuries."
Other ECs agree it is important to be frank about the dangers.
"In our safety training, we spell out the injuries that can result from falls to arc flashes," said Bill Heilner, vice president of field operations for Romanoff Electric Co., Toledo, Ohio. "We don't sugar coat or diminish. Electrocution is a real possibility if certain safety practices are not followed or the proper safety gear is not worn."
Work crews should feel empowered to stop an unsafe practice when they see it or re-evaluate questionable safety practices.
"We are all responsible for a safe work site," Geigle said.
For example, at Romanoff Electric, when a superintendent or the company president visit a job site, they too wear the appropriative personal protective equipment (PPE).
Working with GCs
If the general contractor (GC) has a safety protocol in place, you don't want to disrupt a chain of command, but Geigle said the EC can serve as an on-site consultant. If continuing to do a process one way might increase the chance of accident, communicate the cost of that action.
"You can spell out the degrees of risk," Geigle said. "It's important to remember that OSHA cites employers, typically not employees. If you are exemplary in your safety practices, a GC may also recognize 'You have this, and we trust you.' If you can lower [workers'] comp and other related cost through safety-practiced crews, that can mean a lot to a GC."
Ortiz said his company's safety record helps it win work.
"It makes a big difference in winning complex projects such as hospitals and energy company work," he said. "We would have not gotten these jobs without our reputation for safety."
Heilner said Romanoff Electric often sets the level of safety on a job site.
"Our safety policy and procedures are stringent," Heilner said. "Our personnel are fully PPE'd when on-site. ... sometimes it helps elevate the entire job site. Safety is also a decider when we consider what jobs to bid or take on. If safety and cleanliness on a job site is not a priority, we will pass on that project. We want our employees to be safe and feel safe. Many of our customers have requirements from an [experience modification rate] standpoint. If our rate doesn't meet certain expectations, we can't take on the work."
"We too have pulled off jobs that were not safe," Ortiz said. "We are always part of project team discussions early on to help better plan a project and reiterate our expectations in safety. If we are the lead contractor on a project, we set the tone. If we're not, our commitment is to keep our crew safe. We perform safety audits on the job site, as well. Fortunately, times have changed where everyone is better about being on the same page when it comes to a safe work site."
Romanoff Electric also conducts short interval planning, enabling its on-site supervisors to lay out projects a week in advance and get buy-in from the field on how long tasks should take. The company also is working to earn at all its work sites OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) recognition. VPP helps stimulate a rigid adherence to on-site safety.
The qustion of discipline
When accidents happen, supervisors should avoid the statement "common sense should have told you."
"There's no such thing as common sense," Geigle said. "It's either good sense or poor sense. 'You should have known' is a maybe, maybe not situation. You need to conduct incidence analysis. Investigation should happen first."
Ortiz said his firm takes a like-minded approach.
"The very first thing we do when something happens is not place blame," he said. "We ask if we properly oversaw or planned. If there were policies in place to avoid that accident, we investigate if they were overlooked. If so, why did the individual break policy? Did an accelerated project time frame promote a shortcut? Was the policy ambiguous? These and other instances might be an opportunity for a crew member to point out discoveries we as a company missed on a work site— some policy shortcoming or a need for better communication or improved PPE."
Support your supervisor
Romanoff Electric and Melton Electric hired safety directors, created safety departments and certified personnel to successfully navigate a top-down and bottom-up safety atmosphere.
"A safety program is also a living document," Heilner said. "Ours changed two times in the last three years. You have to adapt. Some of it is driven by customers who ask you to meet certain standards new to you. Some is driven by discoveries such as the need for newer PPE like the 100 percent cut-resistant worker gloves we adopted."
It helps to know what workers face on a day-to-day basis.
"For myself and my assistant, we have an electrical background, which gives us both commonality and insight with our crews," Ortiz said. "We are looking at safety through the crew's eyes. It helps inform our safety efforts and [communication] at an effective level. That's an important aspect of safety leadership."
Geigle encourages foremen to be involved on safety committees with management and labor. In fact, he advises safety managers to sit in but not lead the committee so a flow of ideas is freer among all members. ECs such as Romanoff Electric and Melton Electric practice that sense of democracy. Leaders lead when you let them.

Pleasure is followed by pain and so someone has rightly remarked that "Our sweetest songs are those that tell us of saddest thought."
What to talk of having permanent bliss, we don't know what it is! The momentary pleasure derived from the material objects are misunderstood as bliss so much so that we cannot have a sigh of relief without these false pleasures which are usually followed by pain. But in reality the permanent bliss is with us. It is our birth right. We have completely forgotten it. Having the possession of a gold mine of Permanent Bliss, we are looking for the glass beads of false pleasures of this ephemeral world. We are like fisherwomen who could not sleep in an orchid of fragrant flowers full of their sweet smell. The story runs as follows:-
Some fisherwomen were coming home after day's work and lost their way. Evening fell and they happened to come into an orchid covered with the sweet smell of beautiful flowers. As night approached they lay down but could not sleep. A few hours passed but none of them could have a wink of sleep. An elderly fisher woman got up and picked up an empty basket where fish were kept. She poured water on it and put the basket where the fisherwomen were lying. As soon as the bad smell of the fish swept away the sweet smell of fragrant flowers, they all went to sleep. Exactly is the same condition with all of us. Endowed with Permanent Bliss which knows no sorrow or misery, we are looking for happiness in the objects or persons of the world which is eternally changing. Everything in the world is undergoing a change. At one time, one man is highly honoured, then another takes his place and so on, day after day and year after year. One family rising into ascendancy becomes unknown after some time and then another takes its place and so on. This is how the change takes place all the time in this evanescent world. You realize your true nature through meditation; you are Knowledge, Existence and Bliss; you are the repository of Permanent Bliss, you are He as He is the only one in all beings.
Swami Ji says, "Through meditation, you will find that He, the source of Permanent Bliss is not far away from you. You have no responsibility to anybody but to yourself. You commit heinous crime to yourself if you lead a miserable life when He is with you all the time. Nay, you are He as there is nothing but He alone is the Supreme Existence. It is not your duty to worry or hurry about any business; your only occupation or duty is to keep yourself self-contained, self-possessed and self-pleased.
Meditation will provide you Permanent Bliss. You will come to realize that the aim of life is to keep your own self always blissful and cheerful, independent of all surrounding circumstances, irrespective of gain and loss. Your highest duty in the world is to keep yourself blissful and your duty to yourself demands of you again to keep yourself happy in all states. Be true to yourself and enjoy you own Permanent Bliss which does not depend upon any outer object. Never mind anything else in the universe. All other things are bound to bow down to you, yet what does it matter to you whether they bow down or not, you are blissful by yourself.
To be dejected and gloomy is a religious social, political and domestic crime. Be full of serenity and dispassionate tranquility and permanent bliss (always remembering and staying in your true nature) and you will find all your surroundings and environments accordingly as like comes to the like.

PwC Makes Bias 'Blind Spots' Training Mandatory, but Is Training Enough?
Last week, PricewaterhouseCoopers revealed that it was making unconscious bias training mandatory for all new hires or employees who receive promotions, Kellye Whitney reported at CLO:
PwC announced this week that to be promoted or to join the firm as a new hire — currently more than 17,000 new hires join the firm each year — an individual must complete "blind spots" training, created to help people recognize unconscious bias related to ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. PwC's new 4REAL (Recognize/Explore/Act/Learn) series is a video training curriculum developed to help people make better decisions, drive more inclusive actions and potentially have a positive impact on its teams, clients and, ultimately, society.
PwC was also the force behind the online "Gender IQ" training course launched in October by UN Women's HeForShe initiative, which the accounting firm developed in-house as a voluntary program for employees. Chief Executive writer Dale Buss hears more from PwC's US Chairman Tim Ryan about what motivated the firm to make bias training mandatory:
"The recent election [was] a very emotional one for many," Ryan told Chief Executive. "At a time when it's easy to focus on our differences, we need to act using our values. Doubling down on diversity [is] a reminder that I fully intend to put our values and purpose into action, reinforcing diversity as a core component of PwC and being a leader within the business community." …
He said PwC would be the first of the traditional "Big 4" accounting-consulting firms to [implement mandatory unconscious bias training]. He said this "bold and concrete step" stems in part from the success of an initiative that Ryan launched last summer, called Color Brave, in which he tapped into employees' angst about police shootings.
"The conversations were inspiring and reminded me that if I don't create an open and empathetic workplace, other priorities—our clients, our people and our bottom line—will suffer."
PwC's goal here is commendable, but I would offer some words of caution: Research shows that mandatory bias training often meets with resistance, which is why many scholars recommend making this training optional instead. Furthermore, does this training work? Is it possible to effectively train employees to catch their own unconscious biases, let alone stop them? Studies have shown that mandatory bias training can actually increase bias in the workforce, worsening gender and racial inequality. Others point to a lack of evidence that investment in such trainings produce any measureable returns.
The NeuroLeadership Institute's Dr. David Rock presents an alternative solution. Rock claims learning about bias does nothing to lessen it. Rather than investing in training to mitigate biases from people, Rock says companies must focus on removing opportunity for bias from processes:
As an individual, you cannot consciously 'watch out for biases,' because there will never be anything to see. Organizations and teams can become aware of bias in ways that individuals cannot. Team-based practices can be redesigned to help identify biases as they emerge, and counteract them on the fly, thus mitigating their effect.
If his theory holds true, PWC, Facebook, and others will have taken a noteworthy step to begin the conversation through training. But effective results will require tactical strategies that bring accountability into the picture. Companies need to look at the processes that result in unequal outcomes, identify points in those processes where bias is able to play a part, and implement strategies to fix those pain points.
CEB Corporate Leadership Council members can get more information via our webinars "Breaking Bias" with Dr. David Rock and "Overcoming Biases to Advance the Underrepresented Workforce." And if you're interested in digging even deeper, consider joining CEB's Inclusive Executive Workshop series, with one workshop dedicated to advancing inclusion by overcoming biases.

It is October, and arbitrarily this is the month I update my net worth tracking excels. I suppose it is odd to use an excel tool, when I already use Personal Capital which tracks net worth on a day to day basis, but I find that the annual exercise is a better perspective with much less noise. Since I am an engineer, it appeals to me to have regular health tracking metric for my finances. In my annual check up I like to benchmark our household using various methods to see how we are stacking up in terms of the amount and growth rate. Some of the metrics I use are:
- A projection of net worth based on salary and age from the book The Millionaire Next Door. I use a slightly modified version inspired by the blog the Simple Dollar , {Net Worth =(Age-22)*Household Income/5} . Twice this number is the true target to be considered a PAW or Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth. If you haven't read The Millionaire Next Door, I recommend you check it out. I picked up a used copy from a second hand book store cheap. Better yet, use your public library.
- Liquid Net Worth vs the 25-30 times annual basic spending. This is supposed to represent the amount required to be financially independent, so I could use the 4% withdrawal rule (I think I will more likely shoot for 2-3%) to live off my nest egg and retire. These numbers are especially important if you are looking to retire early ( I am not really looking to do that, but it is nice to have a choice). Paying off my house doesn't help me as much with this one since I only use liquid net worth, but once it is paid off my annual basic spending decreases by ~25% so my targets shift down.
-FTI score, this is one of the newest and one of my favorites. It stands for F#$% This Index, I stumbled upon it on Quora one day. The idea is similar to the 25-30 times annual basic spending. Essentially a score over 1000 translates into being able to live off your net worth without running out of money before you die. Would I ever pull the trigger with a score of 1000, HECK NO! Although, it does give me a marker to track and pass. FTI = Age x Net Worth / Yearly Expenses.
-Financial Samurai The Average Net Worth For The Above Average Married Couple. This one is pretty arbitrary, but I like it because not only does it breakdown targets for various ages, it breaks them down into various categories, Pretax, Taxable, and Home Equity. Additionally it allows me to look at growth rate targets by net worth amount, because it is a lot easier to double your net worth when it is $30K versus $3MM. There is also one for single people as well at Financial Samurai.
-All the other ones are pretty basic: annualized growth $/year, % growth rate per year, asset breakdown (Cash, investments, home equity, pension, vehicles).
So after crunching all the numbers we are looking to be on a pretty good track, with a growth rate of 13% and are still maintaining our PAW status. I am interested to see how the house pay off effects our growth rate, since all our extra dollars are currently boosting our net worth growth by paying down our mortgage liability. Once the house is paid off I plan to increase retirement savings among other savings, but I do not plan on spending every extra dollar on savings. The nice thing about the annual check up is that it is infrequent enough to get good perspective of our trajectory, but not so infrequent that we cannot still timely course correct if necessary.
So do you guys track your net worth? If so how frequently? What metrics do you benchmark yourself against?

Description: I've been disappointed with so many attempts at bringing anime to the big screen, that I was about to skip this. It is a mishmash of genres thankfully comedy is not blended in , so may actually appeal more to fans of kung-fu and anime than to goths who revere the "traditional" vampire. Originally slated to be released worldwide in spring , [5] the film premiered in Japan on 29 May , [9] and was released in the United Kingdom on 26 June In directing the film, Kitakubo notes that his having read Dracula and watched the American television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer , they may have had some influence on the film as the rest of his life experiences have.

The Sound of COS features 2-minutes of pure auditory pleasure. With minimal staging and multiple sources of unexpected sound, this spot for fashion brand COS is Lernert & Sander in their quirky element.
Two models on screen are shadowed by two Foley Artists on a soundstage. As the models perform relatively mundane actions in their COS clothing—buttoning up a jacket, fiddling through a purse, popping a coat collar—the sound artists respond with a series of corresponding sound sources that are anything but mundane: umbrellas opening, toilet plungers popping, basketballs scraping against sand, and more. This film is simple and restrained, surprising and delightful.

I am absolutely thrilled to be the December cover model for Buffalo Healthy Living! This locally published magazine is distributed in several places for free throughout Western New York like Wegmans and Tops. I loved working with photographer Tess Moran for this fun holiday themed shoot! The Beauty Atelier also did a fabulous job with my makeup.
I talked with publisher Annette Pinder about my career in TV news, my family, and autism advocacy. I am thrilled about having different platforms to raise awareness about causes that are close to my heart. I am so used to being the one who asks the questions on the job at News 4, so it was fun to have the roles reversed and be the one who was being interviewed instead!

Google Chrome Parental Control Will Be Shut Down and Replaced
Attention parents, if your kid is using Google Chrome to go on the Internet, be sure to supervise him as your child browses the Web.
Google has announced that the parental control features on Chrome would be "deprecated" effective today, January 12, and would be replaced with new software later this year.
(Read: Set up Parental Controls on Google Play)
Email Notice
The announcement was contained in an email sent to users of the program this week.
"Chrome Supervised Users," as the program is called, was launched in beta back in October 2013.
The program allowed a parent to lock the Chrome browser on a device as well as block access to specific websites, enable "SafeSearch" for filtering Google Search results and keep a history of visited websites.
In the email, Google said it "heard feedback about how we can improve the experience for you and your children."
"Based on this feedback, we are working on a new set of Chrome OS supervision features specifically for the needs of families to launch later this year." The email did not give a date for the release of the replacement.
Google said that starting January 12, users "will no longer be able to create or re-import supervised users" but would still be able to use existing Chrome Supervised Users on Chromebooks, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
And on January 15, "remote supervision at chrome.com/manage will no longer be available."Existing settings for Supervised Users cannot be changed anymore as well
Family Link Feature
In the email, the company mentioned about Family Link, a program that was launched by Google in September that lets users make Google accounts for their children and manage their browsing experience in Chrome on Android devices.
Family Link is only available in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United States, according to a CNN report.
TechCrunch, on the other hand, said the solution only works on mobile devices. Chrome Supervised Users was created for those using a desktop.
(Read: Chrome Is Turning Into the New Internet Explorer 6)
What's Next?
Google has "deprecated" the Supervised Users program on Chrome and would replace it with new supervision tools during the year.
